I think in general the battery life is the same, except that every now and again some sensor will stick and hold the phone awake. For me, the two bad ones have been wifi and camera and a reboot is the only way to return them to normal operation.

I find i need to watch the battery levels throughout the day, and if there is some unexplained drain then i use better battery stats to check what the wakelock is, and try to fix it if i can.

Yesterday for instance, i lost only 40% across 18 hours. But today i lost 60% in two hours when the wifi went nuts when i was out of range and the wifi system didn't disconnect cleanly for some reason. Of course, if you're careful and disable unused components then that can't happen so easily.

In 2.05 hardware decoder do not work for playing videos. MX player stops responding when HW decoder is selected. SW decoder work fine
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] djemr:
Hi DZO,

Both camera updates causes the cam taking 2 photos in a row. There is actually one shutter sound but when you check the gallery it has 2 of the same photograph. Green lines on the random side of the photos still remains on the gallery. Also I was wondering why the photos are looking so dark in the gallery even though the orginal photos are a lot brighter? Is there anyway to increase the brightness?

Thanks for your efforts.

Edit: After installation cleaning cache, dalvik cache solved the double photo problem.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dima_2005:
I think that the 2.05 deserves a BETA tag, it's quite unstable, will stay @ 2.04 until the kernel isn't stable...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I disagree. Maybe the v3 kernel should be split out and let people run as an option, but the ROM isn't beta.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] liangse:
Anybody experience problem with power wigdet in notification drawer? I try to switch between 2g and 3g like i used to in cm7.but it's not changed from 2g to 3g. And i exprience that wifi sometimes can't be switch on. Must reboot to get wifi enabled

Last, thx dzo for this great rom
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I think these issues are noted in the change log, either way they are known issues. Use the settings menu to change the options/functions instead. Some of the power notification options work fine, like Bluetooth.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I'd recommend keeping wifi set to never sleep, it still crashes sometimes when loading the module so the less that happens the better.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I've had it set to sleep with the screen off all afternoon, not a single problem ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
I just found a bug on 2.05 version. When have an incoming call, the phone ringing fine until I press one of the volume buttons, then stops immediately and doesn't ring anymore.

Can anyone confirm this?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] OmegaModr:
That's a feature.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I'm trying to figure out what could cause the volume keys to stop working for some people, it's never done it to me. Could somebody with non-working volume keys send me a kernel message log (su; dmesg > /sdcard/dm.txt) after pressing the keys. Also a dump of the interrupt counts before and after pressing the keys could be useful. (su; cat/proc/interrupts > /sdcard/int.txt). Also in what situations do the keys stop working, e.g. wifi on or off, bt on or off, etc..

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
For long periods of time, that may save battery, but setting it to sleep when screen off at home, for example, may use even more battery, because of the constant sleep/wake process everytime you touch your phone...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
This happened to me twice after long use without reboot. No wifi, no Bluetooth, only data on and phone locked. I am using the"volume wake mod" but there have been reports from people without it. If it happens again i will post what you asked for here. Cheers and thank you.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] djemr:
After runing the stock camera for a while it stucks. The screen is freezing and than force closes. Booting the phone did not solve the problem. I already wiped the cache and dalvik cache, but nothing. Camera deffinitely needs a retouch after the new kernel. However I have CameraMX runing, which looks fine.

If you need anything, just tell me what to do dzo.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mittalmailbox:
mine volume buttons also stoped working today. also had 2 reboots while playing music
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eng.stk:
No luck unfortunately, hope you can crack this one up.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
Hello guys and dzo, I am sorry to inform you, that I will give my u8800 to my mother because I have i9000 now. I'm still supporting your work dzo and I hope you keep developing this ROM as long as you can. The u8800 will replace Nokia e51. And my father has my old Nokia 5800XM. Keeping phones in the family. I will keep the backup mirror online for now, maybe just limit the speed once.

hi

im testing aurora 2.5 and im having problems with battery drain, eerything seems to work good but battery lasts one day, and i see in battery stats that the phone is always awaking from deepsleep, is this related to the new kernel?

witch program should i use to monitor whats keeping my phone awake?

thks

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
DZO, do you know if the sensitivity file in

- sys/module/synaptics_i2c_rmi_1564/parameters/

makes synaptics touchscreen behave any different?

I really miss the touchscreenfilter from x5settings in .32 ROMS. In aurora, especially when scrolling and in pinch to zoom, the screen trembles a lot if I keep the fingers on the screen...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Agreed, it was more of an experiment than anything, i was trying to grab a logcat of it when it faulted. But, i have to say, the battery life was awesome and it actually stayed constant at 64% for more than three hours despite me checking xda and Facebook every 15-20 minutes. I could see the wifi start up each time too so it was definitely going to sleep.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I think the battery drain may have something to do with the notification lights. It's hard to be sure, but it seems battery drain increases once i receive email if i don't clear the notification. Like overnight.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I've just noticed that the latest CAF ics_chocolate is based on 4.04, I'm compiling it now. It's not a tagged release for our SoC but it should still work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dp42:
Please forgive me if this is already somewhere previous in this thread, I seem to have lost touch with this thread somewhat.

Anyway, has anyone had any success getting wifi working with the new 3.0.8 kernel, and either 2.04 or 2.05. Nothing seems to work for me.

I can see my wifi network in the list, the wifi password is saved, it just won't connect

Thanks to anyone who is kind enough to reply.

Cheers. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Try installing the cam1 zip file from here:

http://code.google.com/p/ics-aurora/downloads/list

If it still doesn't work, you may have to change the channel/and or authentication on your router. WPA should work ok. Let us know what did or didn't work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
What about the wifi problem. Since yesterday I am trying to turn on the wifi using the power widget or the notification one and is impossible. Só I need to restart the the phone to be able to use it again. Last tom with the wake up keys.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dp42:
Thanks for the reply dzo! :)

OK, I got wifi working.

Details:

Channel: 11

Authentication type: WPA2 Personal AES

B/G Mode: B only (it was previously on G only). Mixed mode (B and G) also works, so it is probably dropping down to B in that case.

So it seems the problem is definitely related to the B/G compatibility with the new wifi drivers/kernel.

dzo: Let me know if you would like me to test any possible fixes. More than happy to! :)

Cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
wifi needs to be enabled/disabled via the proper settings menu. If you use the notification toggle our the power widget you will probably have to reboot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
Ok, e thanks you for the quick response. Só is a big that is going to be fix,
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Repeal:
Dear DZO, I cannot use STK on 2.04 can you fix this?

wifi Power widget problem is common.

is there a way to increase headphones' maximum volume?

is there a way to relase next rom with two different kernels such as 2.06.35 (2.06 .35) and 2.06.8 (2.06 .8).

Finally, thank you for everything you done. Now I can say this is the phone I was looking for. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cayar:
Music quality is very good,

Menu transitions very smooth,

Game performance is okay,

Battery performance is good, but;

Sometimes the application crashes.

More use of Ram. (Not enough memory to ics)

The voice calls, outgoing volume is low.

T9 dialer does not work, (I use another application)

Volume keys wake up the option, the settings can be added

To use the internal memory as a virtual card, the option can be added

Wireless works very strange.

I'm not at home, but it seems to depend on my home wireless modem. :D

Sometimes, the connection seems to have, but the Internet can not be entered.

disconnect and re-connect the problem is improving.

Thanks dzo, god bless you :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
Indeed my AP is set to G only as well and the phone wouldn't even try to connect in 2.05.

Will try to confirm this. Had to reboot twice in 2.04 because of Wifi not turning on anymore, even from the settings menu.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
Same here, but mine is set to n-only.

Does this mean that 2.05 only connects to 802.11g?

Also, can you confirm (System settings > Developer options > Show touches) that the touch has almost half-a-second delay?

This makes it way harder to play Draw Something. :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] genti7:
Thanks dzo with the cam1 zip now it finally connects to my router without any problems

edit: The only annoying issue i have is that the screen goes to sleep when im watching a flash video or playing a game by not touching the screen. Is there anyone else with this issue?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Confirmed, even with debugging off. Also, adb stopped working again in this version, not even with the new adb drivers...

Ubuntu is fine though, both usb mounting and adb.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Usb is mounting ok here, even with usb debugging. I also couldn't mount at first, a reboot fixed that for me. That could be caused by windows itself tho and not the rom.

ps: Onavo Extend seems to work in this version. the latest CAF release seems to fixed the vpn issues. it still fails, but it does register on the service :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] addajjal:

debug.composition.type=cpu

Not that much diference, but i can confirm that in the knights test with debug.composition.type=cpu i got the most fps of all tests, you can try for yourselfs different options and see what you got ;)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
Which drivers are you using?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eng.stk:
It happens the same thing to me, already tried that fix DZO, I'm going nuts with WiFi mate lol

USB Mount is still broken on 2.06_test, have to disable USB Debugging and USB keeps on connecting/disconnecting until it really connects. Looks like the issue passed on from 2.05, but I'm sure you can fix this, in the beginning of development we didn't had USB at all ;)

WiFi is really broken since 2.04, the new driver drains less power but i I can't connect to ZON routers, even to the open network ZON@FON (open network with websitelogin that covers lot's of Portugal territory). I can't change channels and config every router I connect to, I tried in one or two of my friends routers but no luck.

MEO routers work fine, as some other I tried (asus and dlink ones). All routers are 802.11g/n, with WPA/WPA2 with PSK (AES cypher).

At least, if we could choose between the 2 drivers new and old until a fix can be done, would be nice. My installs were with full wipes on v2.04, v2.05 and 2.06_test.

1. disable USB debugging mode,

2. connect your phone with your PC (with USB cable), than go to devices and printers and find android icon,

3. select andriod icon and update driver automaticaly (let windows system find it automatically)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
From what I've experienced after 27h of uptime, it does not make any difference from where you turn Wifi on, at some point the driver won't load anymore. So far I've been lucky, the Bluetooth-On-Off-trick has worked once and Wifi started working again.

But I'm really excited seeing 4.04 has already made it into this ROM. Just two months is very impressive.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dima_2005:

Also installed Temple Run for fun, great game, works flawlessly with the new GPU drivers. Dzo, is it possible to add a SIM Toolkit app?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] addajjal:
I have been using 2.06 for some h now, and only bug for me so far is that the phone crashed after a conversation and had to unplug my battery to restart my phone (the led was blinking red when i tried to turn it back on after the crash). Wifi is a bit slow, can see if i can change it like i did on the last version. But good job DZO, u are out Huawei hero :)

Can any one confirm that the camera is not functioning. Even the cam.update1.zip is not fixing it. When I want to take a picture with the original cam app everything seems ok, however when I click the shutter camera app freezes.

You feed back is appreciated.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] salomaoa:
@Dzo

There must be some sort of incopatibility between the wifi drivers and 3.0.8 kernel. That’s the reason I had to downgrade from 2.05 to 2.04 Aurora ROM and the reason I will be forced to downgrade from 2.06 back again to 2.04 (otherwise, everything seems to be working nicely in 2.06).

Here is the problem:

In Portugal there is an internet provider (ZON) whose wifi clients work as free hotspots/access point to all ZON clients. Tha means, for exemple, that beeing a ZON client, my wireless router acts as an hotspot to other ZON clients. If you are a ZON client and happen to be in my neighborhood, you will have free wifi internet access.

When I am close to a ZON wireless client, I usually am able to connect to ZON_FON_FREE internet. However, when there are several ZON hotspots around, wifi won’t connect at all. Turning wifi of and on again or rebooting the phone won’t solve the problem. I really don’t know if the problem comes from the fact there is morte more than one hotspot available or if it relies on diferent wifi settings (802.11g/n versus WPA/WPA2/WEP, etc.).

Any clues on what could be wrong?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Cant see because the xda attachment system is broke ;)

But, my 2degrees connection requires me to run in 2g mode else I totally burn the battery in 8 hours.

Have you tried BetterBatteryStats? Generally, when my 3g connection is burning my battery, it still sleeps. So I suspect an app (system or user, could be either).

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] INSGDT:
Confirmed.

On Windows 7 the process is as follows:

1) Start - Devices and Printers

2) Locate the Android device, Right Click - Properties - Hardware tab

3) Plug in the handset and turn on USB Storage

4) (as far as I can remember as I cannot replicate this now) Locate the USB storage and click to update drivers with Windows Automatically searching.

5) The drivers will be installed and Windows will prompt for a reboot.

USB storage will now mount correctly. But if you have a look in the Android device in Devices and Printers, under the hardware Tab, there will still be 4 Android devices which it cannot find drivers for.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Generally it should work after about 10 minutes of being plugged in.

If not, the following should be fool-proof:

USB debugging setting doesn't matter, should work for both enabled & disabled

Make sure your phone isn't plugged in to the USB on your computer

Remove all "non-present devices" - background & article here, download a script to automate it here

Download and install HiSuite, which has all the drivers you need, from here

Plug in your u8800

???

Profit

Brutal but it should work on any Windows version.
