[EVO 4G Original Development] Mathman85:
I've verified a statistically significant decrease in battery drain from using the screen off profile compared to no profile at all, as well as a statistically significant benefit from having the OnDemand governor when the screen is on (more consistent benchmark scores), so I'm inclined to stick with it. Thanks for the advice, though! If I continue having problems, I'll give that a shot... but being able to last up to 24 hours on a single charge with the OEM battery with consistently-smooth performance are my requirements for an arrangement. :) I will concede, though, that I never had a kernel with the IntelliDemand governor, so I don't have results comparing it to OnDemand - just other governors I've had available.

For reference, I was hitting that target with the Freedom less-undervolting kernel and my profile/Tasker arrangement, it just always irritated me to see 14% of my battery gone within an hour of taking it off the charger. After 11 hours, I typically still had 68% battery life remaining.

I just hit 86% after 3.5 hours of heavier-than-normal use with this SBC kernel, though... not as good as yesterday, but still 3x better than before. :)

I'm a little sick of seeing "terrible battery life!" posts on these forums. So let this be my official way of saying "YER DOIN' IT WRONG!":

Original Droid Razr:

It says "3d 0h 45m 30s on battery":

img651.imageshack.us/img651/3199/img07481n.jpg (Sorry, I can't post links)

I turned 4G off and left WiFi on and pretty much did not leave the house for 3 days straight, which likely reduced power usage by the radio. I've had the phone since November, fully stock.

FYI, the battery widget is called Battery Indicator Pro.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spc_hicks09:
Ok so I can't use 4G or leave my house? Why even buy the phone then? Sorry but YOU are doing it wrong.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
i find battery life on my GSM unit to be wonderful... so long as i have excellent reception from a tower. as soon as i'm in a fringe area, BYE BYE BATTERY!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spc_hicks09:
Yeah it's kind of pointless to get on here talking about how good battery life CAN be. Yes it can be extremely incredible if you turn off 4G, turn off wifi, turn off background data, don't use your phone, don't leave your house. I mean come on man seriously??? What people are complaining about is everyday regular use. I had 4G on all day, wifi only turned on when I'm home, talked on the phone for about 1 hour all together, sent and received about 50 texts, checked email, checked facebook, hop on Google+, check twitter and a little bit of Temple Run and Draw Something. Got just a little over 8 hours on battery. The OP's stats are NOT realistic so do not buy this phone thinking that you will get the same battery life.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
Yeah it's really about screen on time and usage. I don't count it as great battery life if the phone is in airplane mode or barely being used.

My Razr Maxx gives me enough last me from the time I wake up in the morning to the time I go to sleep with no problem, so that's good enough for me.

I definitely don't think it will give us how they advertise on the commercial but it's definitely better than any other android phone I've had.

I think it's more how the android os is consuming the battery over how large the battery is. My friend as the iPhone 4 and gets a day and a half with medium to heavy usage. I don't think the battery is that big in iPhone, never had one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
I got about 20 to 36 hours of battery life for typical daily usage. But, lately it getting worse. The "culprit" is, .... Angry Birds SPACE. :)

2G + WiFi is the way to go for better battery life.

Thank you.

Hey guys a quick question, I flash aokp m4 and Franco's m2 and it all went great but I also flashed Google apps at that time and never got them when I booted up

So I'm asking is it OK to just go back into recovery and flash Google apps or should I wipe something if u can link me to a guide or a few steps it'd be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Just wipe and reflash the rom and gapps in the same recovery session then boot up.

I don't mind personally if the channel is logged, don't worry.

My only request is that you make it so that google doesn't find the logs (just use a robots.txt file to prevent google from indexing it).

Just in case someone posts something identifying personally or whatnot.

People are used to IRC being "off the record" for the most part, but it is useful to have a record available for anyone who wants to read it.

I'll post a "disclaimer" in the channel topic to warn anyone who was assuming they could post their SSN and home address in a public channel :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Here it is :

1. How exactly are updates pushed to aosp? Are they pushed only when they announce a release like the new 4.0.4? Looking at this page https://android-review.googlesource.com/ it appears the updates are in real time but why is it that we are waiting for 4.0.4?

2. Let's say I build from the latest aosp now including the proprietary drivers specific to my nexus device. Is the result exactly the same as factory ota image? Or does Google make some small specific changes specific to devices?

3. Why is it that non nexus devices that get ICS unofficial roms even after the official release from the manufacturer still lack some functionally? Why is it not possible to use the proprietary libraries and drivers from the official update?

4. Does this page https://android-review.googlesource.com/ include all the changes the Google makes to aosp? What are the important ones compared to 4.0.3?

5. How do rom developers like teamkang or gummy etc port their 4.0.3 roms to 4.0.4? Do they have to add their extra code manually to each file or do code management tools like git take care of everything?

Sorry about the long questions I'm just really curious. :)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
1. All Nexus OS versions are AOSP. We are waiting for the OTA because Google only sends the update to a few people at a time, because sending it to everyone all at once would make their servers very unhappy.

2. You'd just be missing the radio I believe.

3. The proprietary stuff is for their skinned OS versions, and is not necessarily usable for vanilla Android.

4 and 5 are beyond me :/

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CakraMas:
I s it possible the rooted Galaxy Nexus to get the OTA ICS 4.0.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
thanks. you misunderstood my first question though. I know that nexus images are based off aosp. What I meant is that the changes on android gerrit review system are public and in real time. So why is it that a release like 4.0.4 is a big deal?

Not the best place to ask this question but I think if you're on yajuko and you have stock bootloader (not cwm) then you may be able to get ota but you'll lose root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
4.0.4 ota is compiled by google from it's internal tree.

What you see in gerrit is the reviewing process for the master branch (and a few others), where everyone can submit, which should be updated (merged) with google internal tree everytime a ota/source gets released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Because those sources are actually not released until google starts the ota update. They develop behind closed doors then release all new code at once with the ota. Some people dont like this but i dont think it matters prrsonally.

---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------

5. Github has a diff function that can compare any two files and even merge the code together. So the devs likely use diff to check all new code and merge.

4. You can look thru all the commits to actually see the newest code changes to see whats important etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
so Gerrit commits are just a very small percentage of all the changes, right?

and does that mean that ota updates may be (slightly) different from aosp compiles?

and that they are no changes to aosp between releases?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
gerrit commits to the master branch are most of time submitted by people working outside of google.

yes, compiling from the master branch of aosp is slightly diferent than from compiling through release tags (4.0.3_r1, 4.0.4_r1.1).

tagged releases are the same as an OTA, except it doesn't have radio/bootloader images, since they're binaries. they don't change, ever. now the builds compiled from aosp master branch do change, even if it is only under the hood changes.

I updated Google Maps earlier today via the Google Play Store and now it crashes worse on our ICS than the Gmail app does. I tried clearing the app data and cache, but no improvement.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
I have both the gmail and new maps and have not encountered an issue. I think that it is more likely your setup than the apps
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
Well, I just checked out the app's reviews on Play Store specifically from TF101 users, and it looks like this app has been crashing on others' Transformers even before this latest update.

From your sig, it says you aren't on the stock ROM, so maybe that's why you haven't encountered any issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mage_slayer2:
Just clear the data and cache from the older one that's what I did and no more issues
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
I work on themes and porting apps so i jump around on roms a lot i have been on stock the past week. Most of those crashes are from data left over from honeycomb when people installed ics without doing a factory reset it caused files to be left behind which cause system wide problems which this most likely is
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pierrekid:
Yea i don't know what your talking about. I updated and haven't any crashes what so ever.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fregor:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] wingzero2085:
I haven't had Gmail crashes *crosses fingers* since the .17 ICS update, before that Gmail frequently froze and crashed. I updated maps, but have yet to actually use it...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lacrossev:
I had crashes before after updating to ics and titanium restoring, I just cleared data for maps and wiped both caches and everything was fine. I imagine a maps data clear followed by an uninstall/reboot and reinstall should clear it up.

It's really small so, that's always a plus. I have actually had my ace charging in my pocket while walking around with it :D Check it out let me know what you guys think.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dudeman1st:
I was able to gain GPS lock in an ICS ROM without flashing a GB ROM. I performed this on Calk's E4GT2 1.2 ROM with FC22 Modem (FC18 kernal). I did a fresh install and confirmed that I was unable to get GPS lock in Google Maps and Nav.

I was able to achieve lock 100% of the time within 30 seconds after using this procedure. I got this idea from the way people have been tricking thier GPS to work: with a GB flash. I figured that here must be a GPS cache or buffer that is holding data - but I am no expert.

You will need these apps:

GPS Status (market), FasterFix (forums or market), and TeleNav GPS (backup from Sprint ROM or maybe market (IDK)).

At each step of this procedure, see if you are getting lock in Maps/Nav.

If so, good for you. If not keep following the procedure.

1) First, see if you are getting lock in Google Maps/Nav (duh).

2) Install the apps.

3) Trick #1: Use FasterFix to set the North American Server (try for lock).

4) Trick#2: Load GPS Status go to Menu>Tools>Manage A-GPS state. There are two options. "Reset" is likely not useful. "Download" installs helper data into your GPS cache. Use this Download feature. (try for lock).

5) Trick#3 Load TeleNav GPS. Input an address and start navigation. The status bar at the bottom should say "WEAK GPS." This will go away eventually as TeleNav GPS achieves lock.

6) Trick #4 At this point, I was able to get lock in Google Maps/Nav right away. Later, I wasn't able to get lock. I did the procedure above and let Google Navigation continually stay locked for 5 minutes or more (to get data in the GPS cache) and moved around (just around my building). After this I was able to get lock 100% of the time in different locations, all several miles apart.

I am guessing that this works because TeleNav GPS is a better GPS program than Google Nav and uses the GPS radios more effectively. You should be able to use TeleNav GPS for Trick #4, too (getting data into the GPS cache).

Of course, the advantage to this method is that you don't have to flash any ROMS. Less flashing means less likelihood of getting a bricked phone. The disadvantage is that it takes a bit of time.

I look forward to seeing if anyone else can get this method to work. I also look forward to any comments on the technical aspects of this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Interesting. I've always just made sure I got a lock before flashing ICS.works every time lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PlagaDeRock:

I flashed a GPS fix zip a few Weeks ago that I found on the blazer ROM thread that worked nicely. (not just for blazer tho, just saw the link mentioned there) It just adds a file onto your system folder or something. Too lazy to search on my phone, but that might be another option if this doesn't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
if you have gps lock on a GB rom and then flash over to ICS it seems to solve the issues people were having getting/keeping lock on ICS, its an older solution from the ICS leaks but it works, for whatever reason...

Quick question.

Since I am on a froyo the sequence I would follow would be

wipe

Flash rom

All your other steps

then flash the themes zip in CWM

reboot

Is that it?

Sure, I know I can install another launcher, I was just going to give this one a try before immediately installing something else. Just not familiar on how to do stuff with this specific launcher.
