Thats part of the reason I was working on the autobrightness. The lower we keep that screen brightness the more we can squeeze out of these batteries. I also recently changed the wifi scan interval to 2 mins from 20 sec. The way I see it you will rarely will walk in the house with 1:59 left until it scans, and this way we will use 9 times less battery scanning for wifi signal. Will it be significant? prolly not but I'm searching for more ways to save a little here a little there and it will add up hopefully.
[Fascinate Android Development] kallell:
Call me crazy, but is it possible to even make the screen less bright than the current lowest? While outside, obviously this wouldnt work, but it seems like the screen, at least for me, could still go a bit lower on the brightness scale. I don't think this would be for everyone, but for those who have good eyes/dont mind a dim screen, i think this could help?

[Fascinate Android Development] mrjake1970:
just skimmed the last few pages and didnt see anything - does anyone have a work around for the MP3 issues yet? im jonesing for some music at the day job.. tried the older music.apk's and they arent working either..i went so far as to try and push MIUI music LOL

on computer now, so i can transfer... here is my battery from the other day when i couldnt upload from my device. just over 3 hours "screen on" time.. about 50 - 75 texts, chrome browsing reading articles, 50 or so emails back and forth.. no phone calls, xda several times.. let my 4 year old play ice age for about an hour.. that is the big spike down you see LOL .. dont run widgets except for android agenda (calendar)...checking facebook, g+ and surfing craigslist..

There is an app called screen filter. I use it at night so I don't keep her awake at night.
[Fascinate Android Development] Stephen.k.spear:
Maybe but it turns that weird yellow green color. I can try turning it down a bit more.

Im using Iheartradio and google music with no issues.... but no fix yet

Also got BLN blinking and back to its former glitchy glory. Thanks Efpophis good catch.
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Gonna have to wait or flash back to 32. Stephen seems to think it is am akop deal and not from him. Gonna have to wait till the next one comes out most likely.
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
Therre's actually a paid app called lux that will let you use sub-zero brightness values automatically. It doesn't seem to quite like our light sensor though. It works but seems a bit wonky sometimes.

Why not just reduce the screen dim level in custom backlight settings. The default is 20. You can reduce it down to 1, then under "edit other levels" select for the screen setting down to 1.
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
screen filter works fine, I've used it a ton. saves a lot of battery. I still have to call BS on kallel though, show us more details on screen time and messaging app time and stuff. my phone drains that much in 6 hours sitting in my pocket.

what is your governer, scheduler, voltages, basically tell us every relevant setting in nstools and whatever else please, so that the rest of us can get similar results.

I use my phone rather heavily. data or wifi always on, most of my day is spent in low signal areas, sometimes 0 or 1 bars, and I use tapatalk, pulse, baconreader, google docs, doubletwist and messaging all day.

10 hours of battery, 3 hours of screen time and my phone was at 8%. I know I use it a lot and in less than optimal environments but there's got to be something I don't have set up right or something.
[Fascinate Android Development] neh4pres:
Mine seems to be very slow (several seconds) before it gets brighter. I actually didn't think it worked at all at first because it always stayed brighter than I think it should in the dark.. I did find however that using the aokp mod in screen settings, that reducing the lowest setting to 1 instead of 50 gives me a nice Dimm low setting. I'm guessing I should just offset all of them from there? Is 50% brightness what you intended as a low? Or did aokp's options conflict with yours?
[Fascinate Android Development] Stephen.k.spear:
50 isnt the percentage it goes up to 250. I'm playin with them more now it looks to me like 13 is the magic # to not get the weird yellow color. So I'll prolly turn them down to there as the low.
[Fascinate Android Development] neh4pres:
I have mine set to 1. I don't mind the slight tint.. It's great to have this kind of control. What app do I need to actively watch logs live? I would like to see if my sensor is getting errors. How long after holding your phone to a light does it take to see a screen change on your device Steve?
[Fascinate Android Development] Stephen.k.spear:
3-5 sec but I'm trying out turning that down to 1 sec or less cuz I can get impatient too
[Fascinate Android Development] tulalhyt:
is using to little time to sensor makes it worst to batteries consumption ?

or basically the sensor is always on and detecth light, but only makes command every few seconds ?

one more ...

am i should using the custom sensor seting or just touch the auto brightness to use your several step sensor ?

sorry for a poor english :(
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Every device turns colors at different levels. I had two captivates at one time, they were both different. My fascinate and my Vibrant are both different from each other and my captivate. Supercurio found a fix, but the way THS does color breaks his patch.
[Fascinate Android Development] kallell:
Lol do you think i photoshopped it? What purpose would that serve? Like i said, my usage of the last few days has been pretty light; but regardless, i've never had this good of battery life even if i didn't touch my phone one bit. I used to get 8-12 % drains in the 7-8 hours i slept over night.
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
What were looking for is for you to click on each of the processes so we can see how much you are actually using the phone. We are not calling BS on your screenshot. Rather, it means not very much because it is in no way real everyday use. Getting great battery life with use is a lot different than great battery life with no use. Stephen and six are trying to get great battery life with use.
[Fascinate Android Development] ccmichael:
I always end up using the Screen Filter app to simulate lower screen brightness.. Especially useful while reading in bed.
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Sorry xain713, but this would be a perfect example of BS. Notice at about 6hrs in. The battery level magically goes back up to near full again. Never seen a battery fill itself back up??? L

Anyway, this is all getting sort of off topic, and we should all probably get back on track.
[Fascinate Android Development] kallell:
I have actually. If he just reset his battery stats or whatnot; the settings/rom will self correct itself. Before this 1800 Anker battery, i would interchange my stock battery and my super giant 3200 mah one. Before my phone was calibrated, my phone would go from 15% up to 20%, then back down to 15% eventually -- up and down until it balanced out. I'm at work right now, but tonight i can post some screenshots.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jay Evans:
PLAY Music still works with mp3s.
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
I do not think you are faking anything, I just don't think that is a reflection on actual realistic usage.

all I want is a little more detail on screen and app usage, and for you to post your settings in nstools (governer, clocks, Live OC, scheduler, anything else that you have done for battery life) as well as how much of that usage time is spent with data or wifi on or off, as well as if you've used airplane mode or anything to save battery.

again, I'm not accusing you of anything, just want more info so that I can possibly get better battery life.
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
confirmed here that play music and double twist both play mp3s without issue. it's just amazon mp3.
[Fascinate Android Development] kallell:
Tonight; I'm in work early today since we have code rolling to production.

36% battery left @ 2 days 17 hours.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jay Evans:
While Amazon mp3 causes a constant boot looping, launching Player Pro crashes my phone also. Wonder if it's something in the way the apps access the DSP Manager?
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
as far as I know playerpro has its own equalizer, though I haven't used that app in months. so does double twist, but play music uses dsp.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Those having trouble with mp3 players boot-looping .. you might want to check and make sure that you have an equalizer set under System Settings -> Sound -> Music Effects. If it is set, try setting it to something else and see if that helps.
[Fascinate Android Development] Nicklag:
ttpod also works and imo one of the best music apps out there

I've been having a lot of problems sending texts in the past few weeks. I'm currently on Build 33 w/ Icy Glitch and EH03 using the stock messaging app. It seems that 1/2 of my texts end up displaying the exclamation mark and the recipient gets part of the text. Sometimes resending works and sometimes I have to keep doing it. It seems when it happens the text takes a while to send. When it does happen if I wait a while a resend it will work. It's happening now consistently to 1 person but not another I'm texting with and I have 4/5 3G bars.

Does anyone have any suggestions? The last flash I did I did a full wipe and restored my apps and data but no system data.

I wanted to see if anyone else had this issue before I assumed it was the phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] neh4pres:
Changed it from dsp to music FX.. Installed miui music. Clicked mp3, instant reboot
[Fascinate Android Development] Nicklag:
This made me lol...

[Fascinate Android Development] Jay Evans:
I wonder if Amazon MP3 has it own equalizer of some sort?

Might it be a conflict between the apps with built in equalizers and the OS version??
[Fascinate Android Development] shag_on_e:
Okay, I'm actually having the same thing happen to me, but only with one person so I thought it was his phone, but he says his phone is working fine. I haven't tried texting him from another phone yet, but I will when I can get my hands on another phone.

[Fascinate Android Development] SmokeyDP:
It's sporadic for me. One day I'm having problems texting person 1, but person 2, 3 and 4 work fine, then one day person 1 works great but 2 is having issues.

[Fascinate Android Development] Robtao:
Similar weirdness today. I am letting my battery (Naztech thick one, I like the extra thickness, easier to hold) run down. I got a message that I needed to charge, I was at 18%. Checked a minute later, 19%. Then, checked a few minutes later, 26%. Was going to report that, but now I'm at 27%. I have a magic battery.:D..Prolly needs to be calibrated, which is what I am attempting to do. (Run it down, then charge it.)

Edit: Wow, now I am up to 30%. Seriously. This is too weird. I am guessing it has been underestimating but is now correcting itself.

Edit: 31%. Perpetual energy for life!

Edit: 33%. Pretty sure this is as high as it went without use, and without charging.

Edit: Back down to 17% finally, after nearly a full day, a long phone call and no charging whatsoever.

Also, I have an issue with Voice Speed dial (I just like that app) which started back on 32.1 and also still happening on 33 where the app simply fails, loops and restarts until cancelled. Tried wiping its data in TiBu, also wiping cache and Dalvik, and fixing permissions. No help.

I thought it might be the way I flashed this time. I like this method, but it has been a while since I trusted a ROM enough to try it again.

1. Make a Nandroid

2. Wipe data

3. Flash ROM

4. Nandroid Advanced Restore Data only

5. Flash Gapps.

Worked very well so far. Except I was thinking this broke Voice Speed dial. But it was broken on 32.1 also, and I didn't do the Nandroid thing. Pretty sure I wiped data, though.

I am guessing that not wiping data and Advanced Nandroid Data Restore both fall into the category of "post back after you wipe data and install normally?"

A little update for you guys. We are officially merged with AOKP I tested a pre-release of Milestone-4 tonight and it's all working. So the AOKP build bot will be taking over from here on out. I'll still be maintaining it with bug fixes as they come up and I find them. I implemented the phantom ring work around I stumbled onto in Sbrissen's stuffs so thanks to him again. Without JT and him we would be no where. With that being said let me know if it works or doesn't work. For those interested CNA is up and running on there source and should be getting merged very soon. Gummy is a bit further off but it's next. Milestone 4 should be out any day now and I will adjust the OP links to direct you to the fascinate build download page on AOKP.co when it's up.

Went to AOKP site and nothing for Fascinate. Is GUMMY merged with AOKP ?
[Fascinate Android Development] Stephen.k.spear:
Alright guys I see an issue on the horizon. When I built build 26 I left some code in that make your device think it is a nexus s. While this doesn't seem like a big deal, when you try and flash new roms they might have a device check in the updater-script that wont let you flash it. So you got options.

Options

1) Flash Build 27 the updater-script has the device check removed. from there your device will think it is a fascinate again and all is well.

2) Restore to a ICS ROM other than Build 26.

3) Remove the device check in the ROM you want to flash

4) ODIN to stock and go to town.

Sorry about the inconvenience but if you flash to Build 27 now you should have no issues from here on out.
[Fascinate Android Development] steve2711:
Fascinate not covered on AOKP site

Interesting. I noticed the same thing. However, Build 27 and the Open Kang Project, when assisted by the Glitch kernal, is great stuff. In fact, having tried the other ROMS, I think its the best of them all. Thank you AOKP Team.

I really like this ROM without a doubt, however, I have an issue with my wifi signal dropping because it is supposedly weak (and the router is just on the next room).

This only started happening today, I don't know why my phone is all of a sudden showing weak wifi signals.

Can you please keep the build 27 up for a few days then? It will be a while before i can get to a wifi spot to download it, I'm on ricks b25 and am not sure what my device thinks it is but i would rather have b27 on my sd just incase.

[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
That's because official support was made after the official build 27. AOKP does builds a little differently then most are used to. They do builds in waves instead of nightlies or as devices get supported.

Auto rotate is working fine here. Did you do a dirty flash? There may also be a rotation setting in rom control. Maybe try clearing the launcher app data as a last resort before a dull wipe

SuperSU

I'm not sure if this deviates too far from AOKP stock, but there's a somewhat new Superuser app floating around from Chainfire.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en

Superuser hasn't been updated since 11/11. I've been running this on my Fassy and GTab, and I'm liking it. It seems to play much better with updated rooted apps. Just curious, and posting in case folks aren't aware.

Edit: Just realizing it's not even a 1.0 yet, so definitely not ready for inclusion in the ROM (in my opinion). But, it's definitely promising.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Yeah, when you're doing a data restore in cwm, you're basically un-doing your data wipe, and partially un-doing your cache/dalvik wipe (some of that stuff lives under/data if i remember right). So you might as well just dirty-flash at that point.

Build 34

Fascinate (mez/show) specific stuff

1) Efpophis fixed notification sounds and ringer sounds, also fixes the boot_audio drop off.

2) Jpeg-turbo - instead of explaining it just go mess around in your gallery or contacts or anything with jpeg processing. Try and bog it down… I DARE YOU!

3) Some stability improvements for video and camcorder.

4) Decreased min auto brightness, and increased the max. I haven't messed with the light sensor poll so if you want it to change faster set the sample interval in custom brightness settings.

5) Added BLN back to its old Glitchy glory for blinking notifications and all that jazz. Good spot Efpophis.

6) New settings for Davlik heap size.

Wipe cache and dalvik should be fine.

Overall I think we made some real progress device wise on this one. I think I can speak for Efpophis when I say we are proud of this one. Enjoy.
