This screenshot looks far better than mine: 3 calls, 15min of wifi browsing, 2 hours of music -> battery below 20%. btw: to be sure it's not a damaged battery I restored aurora 4.1. It still lasts more than a day.

I was wandering: Android OS is allways on top of my list: 53%, wifi 13% etc. Looks like the OS has been a bit too busy ..

I stopped the camera / gallery processes in order to save some power. Now I will try to prevend google+ to upload automatically. Anyone else knows how to keep Android OS from being overactive?

btw: I'm on aurora 5u16. I need to update my signature..

You mean to tell Atmel driver from Huawei is bad. The hardware, as said by me before, allows 10 touches and it works well (with proper driver of course). Not to mention the possibilities to configure this chip.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
yes it does.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
apart from occasional reboots when enabling wifi, which is probably more of a hardware issue (insufficient memory for pro kernel, buggy wifi chip, etc.), 5.0 update 16 has shown no other issue for me. but then, i cant say that i have used all functions to judge that this rom is perfect..

no rom can ever be perfect, imho.. but this combination is definitely perfect for daily use..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
Bugs are very annoying to me this is why I'm using CM7 (.32) so are there any sudden reboots or bugs in the latest update? And how this rom looks in comparison with CM7?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I haven't been on CM7 .32 for months, and I remember I loved it when I was using it, so, last week I went to try it and... it lasted around an hour! I mean, don't get me wrong, Ezets CM7 is probably the most stable ROM available for our phone, but damn, ics is so much better than gingerbread and Aurora is a very stable ROM that I don't think there's any reason to stick to an old android version at this time. And lots of apps now require ics, gingerbread is just dead, you should really try Aurora.

Yes, you'll find a reboot or another (I get one every three days or so), but everything is so much better with ics, it's like a new phone my friend. You won't regret the upgrade.

And if softkey lights going off bugs you, as it certainly does with me, go for update 14, because it's broken in 16 :)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
With me it's been the opposite. I've been on cm7.32 for quite a while now, and at least for me there isn't anything in particular that I'd have on ICS and that I couldn't have on GB. The thing that really bugs me about aurora is not having the mod to skip songs with the volume keys. Yeah I know, it's not in aosp, but for those who use their phone as their music player (like me for instance), it's a must. Also, that mod is present on oxygen, also a close to aosp rom, and in the end it's like the status bar toggles: they're not in aosp but are so useful that they're worth implementing. Plus it's one of those mods that you don't even notice they're there...the problem is, it takes a real developer to do it, and I don't have that kind of programming knowledge. Anyways, I guess I'll have to wait for cm10, if it ever happens...

Guys this is what i asked before.Today Android OS was at first line to consume battery and i did nothing today with my phone.What is this OS exactly which is consuming too much battery?Why does it happen sometimes only?How can i stop this?This causes an unreliable battery performance.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I would advise you to install BetterBatteryStats (check for the XDA edition on this board, it's free for XDA members) to help identify the issue.

This looks to me to be cell connection problems, probably caused by poor signal strength.

It could also be a problem with a widget or application keeping data connections open.

You could experiment by wiping data and then loading one application or account each day and seeing when things go bad. Or you could use a technical program like BetterBatteryStats to help identify it quickly.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mach III:
V5, update16. 4 hours with almost no use of the phone at all, and battery is half gone, I never get more than 8 hours before it's drained completely.

Been this way with all the updates for v5, and when I return to V4.0 everything is back to normal.

I have wifi allways on, maybe thats what draining more with v5 than v4.0?

Or is it because of the bad cell reception in my area maybe?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
To make it even more strange: I installed Mlora 0.4 2 days ago, and what do you think: no battery drain. Android OS is below 7%, works like a charm. Mlora 0.4 is based on ... aurora 5u16. As far as I know: wifi is not stable nor fast like aurora and camera FC'ed. Which I have replaced with the 'goodl' old aurora camera.... Bottomline: either Mlora/Mlopik has done something very well, or the drain comes from the disfunctioning apps... Find the differences.

o, and the pin-code on my simcard is not working on mlora.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
I have MTP problems too(how to use USB mass storage?). The loading times are very slow, and often disply folders as empty. Also have disconnection errors on copying big files, and not responding errors with pc' s explorer crashes when trying to rename a file/folder. Generally is very unstable and slow.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
mtp never worked for me since it was introduced in Aurora... I tought the problem was my pc, but for me it always did what you describe. Painfully slow opening of folders, sometimes empty, etc... but regular USB storage works fine, so that's not a problem...

EDIT:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nikeradsn:
I don't know what mtp is but if it Is related to file transfer to pc via wifi in order to make it work properly you must keep your screen turned on, maybe because of any screen off profile that is underclocking the cpu and can't run the app properly while screen is off
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
No, it's not related. Media Transfer Protocol is designed to allow both the phone and the PC (via USB) to access the internal storage at the same time, so that apps don't have to shut down when the sdcard is mounted externally.

I'd suggest crashes or disconnects when using MTP/USB connectivity are another symptom of the poor sdcard driver/hardware performance, which is why we all have to change the i/o scheduler to noop to stop the gallery crashing. Experimenting around different schedulers, cache sizes, file handle settings etc are likely to be the way to fix it, and I'm guessing here but it's probably to do with memory bloat due to too many files being accessed. There may be a fundamental memory leak in the file handling somewhere.

I'm hoping dzo sees this and can add some thoughts of his own...

remove hi suite program in your pc and hi suite deamon on your phone, i have the same problem before delete both of them solved my problem

this program automaticaly remove all my picture in my phone too... f^%&$ you huawei!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
The i/o scheduler is noop by default so that shouldn't be the problem. I should say that I never use mass storage or mtp, only adb. "adb pull" can copy whole directories and never seems to fail but you do have to type a command! The problem with mass storage is that the OS has to unmount the whole SD card and stop all apps that are stored on it. Some apps don't like this a cause the unmount to fail. mtp I can't test because I only have a linux box and the linux mtp implementation is terrible. As for battery life, I suspect that working wifi is the cause, try changing wifi during sleep from always on to only when plugged in.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
Thats how I have set the wifi but there is such a huge drain compated to v4. It loses the first 40% pretty fast but later on it seems more stable.... Also when I unplug it from charging it shows 96 or 98 % ...

Well, just tried the ROM and it is amazing. Thanks dzo!

These are the bugs that are confirmed (in my case):

- Camara doesn't work;

- Low incall volume;

- Wi-Fi does not connect to my home network when I turn the phone on (after rebooting); It is necessary to go to Wi-Fi Settings and Select Connect to that network.

- SD Card mounting problem. After shutting the phone down, when I turn it on, the SD is not recognized. I have to turn the phone off, start in Recovery, Go to Advanced and select Reboot Recovery, after it boots again select Reboot the phone and when the phone boots in ICS, the SD is recognized.

The ROM is very fast!

Hope the bugs get fixed!

I just uploaded a new version, should have quite a few things fixed, I can't reproduce the sd card problems. I think I've nearly got the camera working but it's hard to predict how long it will take. I haven't tested the amtel home button fix or mtp mode.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
DZO, I know almost nobody uses this, but, by any remote chance, could you include in the kernel the option to force mic when headphones are on? Like in Ksatta's kernels?

Doing factory reset and reinstalling aurora 1.7 also does NOT restore APN (or capability to ADD apn)..

Where is the APN stored to start with? Any ideas (anyone?) what to look for in logcat?
