[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
SGS2 is considerably better on battery than the Aria. It's been quite a while since I used the aria as anything other than a media player, but if I recall correctly, I would typically see about 30% battery left after 10 hours up time with 2 hours-ish screen on time. I think I was seeing about 20% per hour drain with screen on, and around 5% per hour idle.

With the SGS2 I am much more in tune to checking battery life in a more quantitative manner - I consistently see 15% per hour drain with screen on, and under 1% per idle when in strong cell and wifi combined coverage. However, I am also more knowledgeable about finding/eliminating battery drain issues after spending time with the knowledgeable people on the SGS2 forums, so it is conceivable that I could get the Aria working better now.

What all that amounts to in real life: With the Aria, with light to moderate use, I was at 30% battery at the end of my work day, and dead before bed if I didn't charge on the way home. With the SGS2, with usage on the heavier side of moderate, I usually have 50% battery left when I get home, and plug in at night with 20% or so left - with no need to charge in the truck on the way home.

Some people in the SGS2 forums are reporting numbers as good as 48+ hours up time and 4+ hours screen on time on a single charge. I definitely do not approach those numbers - my best single run (and i think it was on the stock rom before rooting iirc) was 33 hours up with 3.5 hours screen on. more typical for me would be 20 hours up, 3 hours screen on, and 15% left.

Probably more info than you were looking for, but the short answer is, SGS2 has considerably better battery life.
[HTC Aria Android Development] brivette007:
Same story here as dandrum for me as well. I would pull my Aria off charge at 5am, and use it for the first time at 10am on my break. Battery usually around 85% by then. After a half hour use (usually playing super sudoku), it would be at 55-60%. By 10pm it usually gives the low battery warning.

So far with the SGSII, the battery has been fantastic. Pulled it off charge at 8am today, and right now at 6:30pm it is at 86%, with about 20 minutes of screen on time.

I was at the cleveland auto show yesterday and snapped a ton of pictures there. Battery went from 91% to about 78% after being there 3 hours. Very impressive.

Typically at around 50% at the end of the day.

Flashing the new official nightly for the Aria now...

Anyone have any issues with the ring tone not playing with incoming calls? Works for everything but incoming calls..
[HTC Aria Android Development] Kot_Ik:
Seems that CM7 builds for Liberty are down again.

New nightly build here (5th March, 2012). Changes up to "Add support for EXIF datetime on Qualcomm libcameras".

UPD: New build here (8th March, 2012). Changes up to "Fixed Proprietary info feild skipping in Samuel Berube's voicemail notification patch (#11318)"

As a side-effect there is new recovery to flash into recovery partition: recovery_liberty_5.0.2.8.img. Changelog for recovery is here.

I don't think it's possible to write to recovery partition while booted. If it was possible, I assume ROM Manager would support that.

Just flashed the rom a few hours ago - so far so good :D

Is there any way to control the intensity and duration of the lighting of the four dedicated buttons at the bottom of the screen? It seems like the backlighting of those buttons have a mind of their own, but they almost never seem to be lit when I need them.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Theonew:
It works for some devices... guess not for the Aria though.

EDIT - It DOES work on the Aria. Make sure you used the correct code, the file has the default name (or change path if necessary), and it is located in the correct directory.

New nightly CM7.2 RC1 build (13th April, 2012). Changes up to "Set supl_host_set flag in loc_eng_set_server". From this build seems AGPS mode is fixed for us, so probably you don't need to apply reverted or stock GPS libraries in CM7.2.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Cool, thanks once again.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gabes Dad:
Flashed this build without flashing the gps libraries from an HTC sense build, but GPS test never seemed to lock. I then flashed the HTC gps libraries on top of this and was able to get a lock in about 3 seconds, which is much quicker than previous builds with the HTC gps libraries flashed on top of this.

I use my phone for tracking when out running and I've only been successful on long distance runs with the HTC gps libraries. Thanks for continuing to pump out these builds for us while CM is getting back up to speed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] MondoMor:
I ended up having to use the original HTC libs too. The patch Kot_Ik posted about gave a lock within a minute or so. With the HTC libs, I get a lock within about 10 seconds after the phone sees at least 4 satellites.

Accuracy seems a little bit worse that it used to be; at least when compared to the fix I get from one of my Garmins.

Hi capitaleño, Installed yesterday, haven't tested the GPS to see how's it working, everything else looking good so far...

I just flashed Cyanogenmod 7.2 on my Aria (on which I had been running Liberated Aria Froyo 2.2 ROM). GPS is basically useless now. I cannot get it to lock at all.

I flashed the htc stock gps libraries as instructed in this forum (after a fresh install of cm 7.2) and still nothing!. GPS just doesn't work at all.

Anyone having trouble? am I doing the flashing correctly? my version of recovery is 2.5.0.7

help is appreciated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bjoswald:
Sorry to hear about your troubles. I haven't had any trouble with GPS, and I am using CM 7.2 too. Have you tried checking your gps.conf file to ensure the correct location? For example, when I flash a new ROM, sometimes the GPS servers need to be reset to my region. I use a program called FasterGPS to fix it (You shouldn't need older libs.). You could also try a program called GPS Status to download GPS assistance data (or refresh it) on a schedule you prefer to see if that helps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
just saying if not tried , free app on market called gps status

goto menu , options , click gps and sensors , and then change the filtering option.......

worked like a charm for me fast locks now
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Try installing the attached file from recovery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
and how is it you have a htc aria ? with 5.02 on it ?

your signature should be updated i gather since jelly bean is 4.1.1 i think........
[HTC Aria Android Development] acimmarusti:
I checked my gps.conf file and it has the correct location, however it lacks lots of info like for example this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034631

It only has one NTP server and the XTRA servers. Using the FasterGPS app didn't work at all!, in fact this app started putting AD notifications which were incredibly annoying. I haven't edited the gps.conf file to add other things. Is there anything in particular I should have?

Tried this and it didn't work

Tried this and it didn't work.

I'm going to try to get the proper edits into my gps.conf (I hope you can all point me in the right direction) and then I will try with the CM 7.2 gps libraries and then the HTC stock ones and see what happens.

I sometimes get a lock, but it takes many many minutes. I have not counted, but it is unreasonably long. With the Liberated Aria Froyo ROM I got locks instantly (in a few seconds), even inside buildings. This is really a deal breaker for me, because using maps and navigation are extremely important for my smartphone experience... Hell, I had a Samsung Captivate before this one and when I found out its GPS is broken I traded it in for the Aria.

Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] bjoswald:
What ad notifications? I haven't seen anything like that on my phone. However, I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I've been using those two apps - without issue - for months and they've always worked well. Maybe someone else with a bit more experience could help you further.
[HTC Aria Android Development] acimmarusti:
Finally got it to work super fast using these instructions (I have HTC stock libraries, and I haven't tried CM 7.2 libs. I may try them at some point but I don't want to break it now that it's working):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713

I started getting Ad notifications about IPads that I had won and other things. Once I uninstalled Faster GPS they all went away. I also want to say that faster GPS failed to change my /system/etc/gps.conf file, which I had to do manually to get good locks.

[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
Hey, so I have a question for you all....it hasn't been so much of a discomfort to mention anything, however since I'm participating I might as well say it and ask if anybody else is experiencing this....

Frequently whenever I wake my device with the trackball, the screen lights up and displays the lockscreen for just a second and then the screen blanks out (the backlight is still on, but the screen has blanked out...I have to turn the screen off by hitting the power button, then I can wake the phone successfully with the trackball

all things that would affect this are, trackball wake, screen-on animation, and drownings kernel..

is anybody else experiencing this? any way to fix this very minor annoyance?

thanks,

Mike
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
I have had the above occur on rare and infrequent occasions.

I flashed over 260 and was experiencing dropped data issues. I wiped cache and dalvik only. Only mobile data, wifi data worked. I had drowning's kernel previously installed on 260, but didn't flash with the 1/11 version of this build.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Same here. Once in a while my phone would freak out and black out like that with track ball wake. Then I would have to hit the power button. Just a little hick up. Btw, still going good on this ROM.

Edit: and I have no animations selected.

I turned off screen on animation and I haven't had the screen blanking issue yet...I don't know why I didn't try it sooner....
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
Screen on/off animations have always been a little quirky for me. For example, sometimes when I would wake the device, it would briefly show a cached version of the home screen before the lock screen appears. This stopped happening once I disabled BOTH screen on and screen off animations, so I've been happily living without them.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Cosmo123:
