Battery with 0308 build is truly incredible. As promised some proof here. Used a camera because I don't have a screen capture app on my phone. Keep having market compatibility issues with 200 dpi screen setting (despite using LCD Density Modder Pro) which is quite annoying. :(

Hope to make it to 3 days! :D Those sudden drops in the graph are quite strange. Guess it's the same battery problem people often report here.
[Defy General] webbimato:
If you put it to offline mode it will last even longer... Screen online time is?
[Defy General] vap_66:
Guys, regarding that battery stuff: I understand your enthusiasm, but those are not real-life values. You basically didn't touch the phone, didn't make calls, no 3G data traffic, no specific apps, etc.

While it's fun to get more than one day with a full charge, it's simply transforming your smartphone into a dumbphone. You're using it, feature-wise, in the same way a Nokia 1100 could be used (solid phone, btw :D).
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
The point is to find out how long it can last in standby. Wifi was on for most of the time and google sync enabled. About the screen: 4% of 2 days and 19 hours is over 2,5 hours. ;)

Yeah but you're missing the point here. It's about comparing with past results and I never ever managed these long (realistic) standby times with any of my smartphones. And I did use it 'smart' (reading a few emails) although not much. I never use 3G, only wifi, so 2G only is fine since I only use the mobile network to make phone calls and send text messages. It's nice to know that I can go on the road without access to a power outlet for at least 2 days and still be reachable.
[Defy General] 1ab2:
just do a long press on the power button and you'll find "screenshot" :)
[Defy General] Fotogravin:
To take screenshot: longpress powerbutton and choose Screenshot ;) It's an ICS feature
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Ah thanks! Never noticed that option before. :p
[Defy General] webbimato:
Yeah, but how long was the screen actually on?

Screen has been on for 45 minutes and it has used 17% of the whole battery consumption... 20 minutes voice calls and so on..

First full day running cm9. Battery life seems to be as good as with cm7.2. It can go full work day hopefully. Today I didn't use it nearly as much as I normally do. well see how it goes.
[Defy General] YaPeL:
On ICS if you want to take a screenshot of whatever is in your screen, simply press power button + vol down for a few seconds, you don't need to use a camera, lol
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Well you don't have to laugh out loud because I did not know that. ;) And it's been pointed out by two others already. The screen on time has also already been mentioned: over 2,5 hours.
[Defy General] webbimato:
You can see the actual screen on time by clicking that "screen" bar... 4% doesn't mean it's been on for 4% of the discharge time. Here is an example. My tab:

Discharging for nearly 13 hours. Screen? 28%. On for over 3 hours? Nope. More like 5 minutes full brightness :) But this has nothing to do with defy and its cm9 nightly... my apologies
[Defy General] chris...:
I should get to 3 days

I found 2G uses more power then 3G
[Defy General] vap_66:
Three days, indeed, but three days without your phone :).

Regarding the power consumption: it may be baseband related, I had a similar issue before choosing another baseband.

[Defy General] chris...:
Guess I'll never know really as I do use it occasionally

I use it as much as my other phone which lasted 1.5-2 days. So if i can double that and still use it as much I think that's a massive win for me

[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Made it to 3 days. Actually posting it with the Defy before recharging. ;)

Sorry if it becomes a bit off topic but I'm simply very pleased with the ROM. The battery life is only one of many good things. :)

Hi,

I'm trying to flash CM9 (main file) through CWM, but I keep getting this E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log

Any help? =l

Thank you
[Defy General] Sir Flashalot:
Same here, very pleased. I can squeeze out more than 7 days on very minimal use, 3-4 days on average use with 2G, sync off and screen brightness minimal. 0,5-0,3% drainage per hour in sleep mode with the SetVsel settings in my signature. 24 hours of 'use' and still on 88%. :)

[Defy General] abysstheking:
thanks..it is for defy and not defy+ right?
[Defy General] :
hello everyone again, all of this stuff is about porting the actual ics to our defy exactly how it should be right? or it isnt?

If not it could be great if this would be implemented as an alternative power buttons http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1521362 in the finished rom so everyone could try it

Another thing I was quite impressed is that the swype kind of writing hasnt been implemented, it is very usefull and it is obviously a huge improvement in the writing experience. I really love the look of the ics keyboard, it would be great if we could just swype our finger around, any suggestion how can I get this to work?

thx for your great work!
[Defy General] tlongren:
That's correct, it's for regular Defy.
[Defy General] 2Pints:
to get swype working, there was an unofficial version that worked with cm7, however the official version works well on cm9, you can get that here http://beta.swype.com/

to the person getting E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log i know these problems can be incredibly frutrating expesialy when you dont get an answer, or when someone says use the search button.

All i can add is to re-download everything ( ie the zip files) and read the first page on here/the install guide.

if your coming into this from the standard motorola stock rom there may be a few extra steps such as root/flash with rsd lite and so on, take your time and follow the instructions on the guide ( and maybe have a beer as you go along )
[Defy General] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
What do you mean? Where can't you get the icon? The notification toggle switches?

Old version of CWM and Bootmenu? When you installed 2nd init, did you select "Latest" or "Stable" version?
[Defy General] taruntyagi1981:
yesterday i flashed it again.. now it's running smooth. earlier i had used older version of gapps which was creating problems ... thanks !
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Thank you for your contribution. But be aware that not everyone necessarily likes what you like. I would never want to have that many control buttons on one screen (although you can probably change that). And I am using the latest official Swype beta but I never really liked the swype way of writing even though I was initially excited about the idea. I very much prefer tapping above sliding when it comes to typing and it's simply to tiring for me to always look where my finger is actually going on the keyboard. I used the HTC keyboard (HTC_IME project) on CM7 (and the real one on my HTC Diamond with Windows Mobile a long time ago) but it doesn't work well on CM9. Also the HTC_IME project has been abandoned so no more updates. This keyboard was my ultimate one. I especially loved the compact qwerty keyboard when holding the phone in portrait and I just hope one day the project is picked up again. Or maybe someone ports HTC's ICS version to CM9 some day.
[Defy General] deathw15h:
battery drain

How is it that everyone here is boasting battery performance :eek:. I am still just about making it thru the day (and thats the waking day.. i need to charge during the night).

The only thing i do to save battery is switch wi-fi and mobile data off when not required. Have tried the boot menu trick posted in this thread but if anything its made things worse.

Heres a snap of my battery stats and seems the screen is the biggest culprit even tho its on minimum brightness. i'm noob... and i need help. :p
[Defy General] pprakash:
Install CPU Spy. Leave your phone untouched for sometime and see if there is some % shown on Deep Sleep state. Also share if yours is a Defy+ (or) Defy Green/Red Lens.
[Defy General] Manulu:
The 8/3 it's only for defy ;)
[Defy General] Sir Flashalot:
Check with CPUspy if your phone enters deep sleep when screen is off.

Install SetVsel from the market and undervolt each VSel, but do not go as low as my settings in my signature below but try to decrease the voltages one step at a time and test if its stable enough.
[Defy General] deathw15h:
Roger on that

will do that n update..

Oh btw I've got defy with green lens.. not defy plus.
[Defy General] Salo-S:
The touch response appears to be slow

I cant play Fruit Ninja touch because this response has a delay, causing discomfort while playing :(

What is the problem?

This happens because there is no H/W acceleration or am I wrong?

Deep sleep while charging isn't so necessary, you can switch off the phone cause it will charge faster surely.

The thing that's bothering me is that there's no deep sleep when you have BG apps...I think that it's because of the CPU...

Yeah its true ; the HWA 8 build is very unstable,many FCs and hell its soooo slow.

0503 is working as good as stable rom. So far i have found just one bug ,time at upper right corner sometimes just stop at some number and it wont show correct time anymore (time in settings and at lockscreen is good)... i saw that on cm7 too.

@male zvire Opera mobile is working ?? It wont work here -.-

Try opera next ,i had problems with some special words in opera mini and this new build has fixed it.

I've been using the 8th March build since it came out... The only bugs I've noticed are the ones in Messaging. I mentioned them before - the rotation sometimes doesn't end very well and it turns out quite buggy. But can't figure at what times, it's quite buggy.

Other than that, I'm really loving the ICS. Best UI for me. Mobile data does break from time to time, but other than that, it's really good. Battery life, wi-fi, speed, looks, stability... It's all good! 8th March Quarx build over BL6 Froyo on DEFY+. Wish I could charge my battery over 82%, though :D

Yes - to have your battery full before flashing enything and ALWAYS be sure to check if a certain app/mod is suitable for your phone (there are differences in kernels, builds, hardware, bootloader versions...) So if you are not fully aware of what you are doing and unsure of what the final outcome would be, better think twice before you start, as you may get yourself into an endless adventure and brick your device. :)

Help!!

Guys,

I need a help! I was using the Quarks 0803 build with froyo kernel. But the problem with launcher are bugging me a lot. So a decide to test the 0503 build with Walter's kernel (4.5.2-109_DHT-22-kernel). I followed the instructions correctly:

Via CWM Stable Recovery:

1. wipe data

2. install CM9-ICS-MR1-120305-jordan.zip

3. install 4.5.2-109_DHT-22-kernel

4. install gapps 0403

5. clear cache and dalvik cache

I tried twice and get locked in red "M" logo forever. Waited more than 30 minuts. The only thing that i can do is flash and full froyo sbf and start all over.

What am i doing wrong?

Thx in advance!

[Defy General] adiq_ambro:
Perfect rom? There won't be any perfection until our good ol' developers find a way to implement full HW Acceleration. It is what's the most exciting about ICS.

Anyone have a hint did they find a workaround for the impossibility to do this "simple way" because of locked bootloader?
