[LG Nitro HD] osmosizzz:
Finally I am on CM9 from 5/7

My battery is the extended hyperion (I think thats the name) 3800mAh

Under heavy usage with over 100 texts, a few 2 minute phone calls, screen on for about 1 hours in that entire cycle and also listening to music through Bluetooth headset for about 2 hours and few camera uses

Goal was 10 hours.

between 21% and 10%, I went super heavy pn the phone with youtube videos, web browsing, listening to some music, downloading apps, and facebook. screen was on the entire time.
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Battery: Stock 1850 mAH

ROM: CM9 Nightly 04/30/12

CM9 seems to be getting better on the battery life to be honest. I'm actually getting through the work day and then some.
[LG Nitro HD] osmosizzz:
Those times are not bad at all! I thought it would be worse. I ordered a 3800 mAh battery and I'm also getting a stock with the phone. Ill put up pictures tomorrow night EST or Saturday afternoon EST.
[LG Nitro HD] kumayam:
did u use uot kitchen to make that battery mod? if not can u share?
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Nope, it's a CM9 add on called ICS Reloaded. Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531222
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
stock battery

cm9

jd ultimate

not sure why the big drop when i rebooted early in the cycle.

this is an average complete day for me of listening to music (with the screen off mostly) handling emails & phone calls, several brief surf sessions, news reading, playing temple run, chess, and table tennis several times each but briefly.
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Wow your battery life obliterates mine. What were you getting before JD?
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
about what you are getting. I would say it is at least a 40% improvement.

THE curious part is that up until now I had assumed that improvement was due to how JD handles the screen brightness but my screen is only using 6% < than your screen (12% v 18%).

it doesn't seem to me that the savings from the screen adds up enough to = the 40%, but hard to tell, what do you think?
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Yeah it's definitely more than just the screen brightness. When I used JD on gb before I didn't like it because it would not allow my Google+ messages to get through real time, even when I enabled screen off in the options..
[LG Nitro HD] osmosizzz:
WOW! that's on stock??? Thats great! now im thinking i should not have bought the extended (not a fan of bulky batteries) Anything more than 10 hours for me is enough and that got you to 15. And i didnt like JD ultimate on GB either. Im about to kdz my way back to rootable firmware and then flash cm9 nightly and have a try. (accidentally applied AT&T firmware update)
[LG Nitro HD] beaups:
^Your standards are sort of low? 10 hours??? Phone should last a day (less sleep) - 16-17 hours. I have a skyrocket, a captivate, this P930, and now a one X and the battery life is just unacceptable on the P930. Bad enough I'm gonna have to ditch it.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
edittttttttttt
[LG Nitro HD] osmosizzz:
Well everyone is different so yeah 10 hours is good enough for me. Just need something where i dont have to plug it in when im out of the house from 7 to 5 and thats fine. i got the extended anyway so it wont be bad but yeah i would be fine with 10 hours. also, the nitro, is actually not bad. im running stock and its not as slow as people make it seem. its definitely faster than my old infuse (over clocked and optimized with custom rom). The only doubts i had was the battery thats why i got the extended and have the stock as backup. but everyone is different. if you want to ditch it then its up to you, but its a good phone.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
The main reason I HAD to switch to CM9 was that the colour gradients on the screen in gingerbread were driving me crazy. GB doesn't support the 1280x720 pixels our phone pushes, but ICS does :D
[LG Nitro HD] beaups:
I agree, my post came off as sort of harsh, didn't mean it do. I'm just disappointed. I liked the Nitro so much, but something is seriously wrong with the battery life. The battery is plenty big, we make sure no apps are misbehaving....but the battery life is AWFUL. Waayyyyy worse than any similar phone. It's a bummer.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
ok ok, we get it.

you don't see me droning on about how good my batt life is, please don't keep going on with your dissapointment.
[LG Nitro HD] beaups:
I wasn't droning and I can't see you at all. How do you get good battery life? How about contributing?
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
like you have?
[LG Nitro HD] beaups:
^No, what I have is a problem. And since you have "good" battery life, I thought maybe you can share a solution. I wonder if there's a voltage issue or something with the stock kernel. We run the same chipset as the skyrocket, right?

Why you have posted this here? A guide should be in the general or development threads
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Sorry, I've done this for the HD2 as well, actually first even, and was told to put it in the Q&A section there, it can be moved to whereever it should be ... fine by me.

Edit -----

Ok, saw my mistake, Android Development for HD2 has subforums, one of which is Q&A, the Sensation just has a development forum.

Well if some moderator could move my post, would be nice.

And sorry again :(

[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Why would a Sensation need a swap partition?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Return question :

From where you stand, why would a Sensation need zram ? The kernels I've tested all have it, some don't even ask if you want to use it or not, it's just activated by default ;)

Any system can use more system memory, since swapping is always faster than killing/reloading apps, and it's only a matter of time to get your RAM filled, we have quite some, but not that much either.

If you're fine with what you have, you could simply ignore my post :cool:

JP.

PS: Type free in a terminal and check if you see 0 in the swap line on your Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Yes, I have 0 swap.

Swapping might well be faster than killing and relaunching your apps manually, but as has been said many times since Android was born, that is completely unnecessary. Android is very good at memory management, it's more a case of free memory is wasted memory on phones.

It's all well and good giving a system 'more' memory, but the swap memory is horrifically slow compared to 'normal' RAM. It has it's place on something with like 256MB RAM, but not on something with 768MB.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well I suppose we're discussing at a point of view level here...

And swap is slow on SD, well not that slow on a fast SD card with read speed at around 20Mb/s and writing at around 10Mb/s, sure slower than RAM but still faster than killng and afterwards reloading the app from NAND.

But I have to disagree with you on one point, Android has an excellent memory manager, true, but this means it will handle keeping apps in the background or killing them, which means that there is no use for app-killers, but that doesn't mean there's no use for more memory (swap).

So give Android more memory to play with and its management will use this additional space accordingly.

But as I said before, this is just a guide, if your Sensation works fine as is, just ignore my post, I'm forcing nobody to use it, just giving those that have a different oppinion than yours a help to get it going, no more no less.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Waszker:
I was looking for a guide like this.

Thank you very much!

EDIT: I have tried it and it's perfect - I can go multi-tasking with 3 games and 4 other programs without any lag. :D
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Glad to read it works for you ;)

I think in the meantime that 1Gb might be a bit too much. Up to how much swap have you seen used on your Sensation ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] joeHd2:
Hi,

I have tried and it works fine.

I have a HTC HD2 with "Team Blue Droid V3.7 Sensation XL Gen3 EU"

free shows this, could you think I have enough swap memory or I have to increase it?

total	used	free	shared	buffers

Mem:	413372	356872	56500	0	216

-/+ buffers:	356656	56716

Swap:	131068	103144	27924

Thank you very much!

José
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I always use 256Mb on my HD2, but I never saw swap used to that extend with my use, or at least not looked at the right moment ;)

On my Sensation I have currently 1Gb, and that is simply way too much, I've just been too lazy to reduce the partition ;)

Keep en eye on the "free" part of swap, as long as there's always some left, I'd say you have enough with your 128Mb.

What kernel are you running ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] |ChauMein|:
Huh... Interesting. I need to give this a try when I get home.
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
I want to try this also but im worried my sd might get worn out :(...

Looks awesome, by the way...
[HTC Sensation] gen129:
Read mkswap --help about kbytes parameter - you don't need to repartition your sdcard.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I've been using it for quite some time (almost a year, so far no issues), but sure it will do more read/write cycles on your card.

So you need to take into account, hence my warning in 2nd post.

I have no issue changing my card every few years, I'd probably do it anyway to keep up with newer technology (faster and bigger cards).

And by the way, if you partition the card, it will be worn at an exact place, so for instance, if you use the last 256Mb of the card, and if they wear off, you can leave the last 256 unused and use the 256Mb before that. Will keep you going long enough until you will change your hardware anyways ;)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You can also create a swapfile in your FAT partition, that will work, but will be less performant, since you will have FAT32 overhead.

A swap partition is the fastest available way from RAM to the SD card and back.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] joeHd2:
Hi,

I'm using this kernel :

Linux 2.6.35.14-marc1706s_desire_0.1.8+

JB
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Ok, don't know that one, I've only tested faux's and Bricked on the Sensation...

But 2.6, are you on GB ? Not ICS ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] joeHd2:
I am in Gingerbread 2.3.5

Sense 3.5

From : Team Blue Droid V3.7 Sensation XL Gen3 EU

Now I have 20Mb free from 128Mb, I think I'm going to resize to 256Mb

Thank for your guide.

$215 that's about £25 isn't it :p

The s is the best non i-pad out there I have seen at the moment so at that price it's a good deal assuming it's fully working. Of course with any tech the best time to buy is a couple of months after you've bought, but if you're looking for one now, go for it.

They are still £299 in the shops over here in the UK - I wouldn't pay that personally.

I bought one for £170 2nd hand. Should be receiving it today. For that sort of money I think its worth it.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssabino:
So I've been trying I find a solution for this, but it's been proving difficult. I have seen that on the nook forums, with a quick kernel mod and a tweak that allows USB audio control (i.e turn on switch for USB audio output), the guys over there have working digital USB audio output to an outboard DAC. Could anyone find out how to do this with cm7/cm9? Cm9 preferably. I assume we have basic USB host capability, since keyboards, etc. work, so its something specific to USB audio. This is definitely one of the only issues I need resolved on my TP.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeCriggs:
This is very possible with USB host and OTG Y-cable adapters. When my cables and my computer come in the mail I will try tinkering with it. It'd be nice to see Jack audio running on here. Once July rolls around and HP releases most of their driver and kernel sources, development in all areas will skyrocket for our Touchpads.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssabino:
Does the upstream port require power even if the device I'm using has its own power? My E17 has its own battery, but for some reason it isn't even recognized through the USB OTG cable. I can't even get USB audio to work on the WebOS side, which supposedly has full USB audio support via pulse audio now...

[Acer Iconia A500] LUIS_ASS:
I see this behaviour on my tablet, too.

If you set the brightness to max., the flicker will disappear.

I think, the developers have lowered the PWM (pulse width modulation) frequency of the display LED backlight for energy saving reasons or for EMC reasons.

In the last Android versions up to 3.2.1 the PWM frequency was high enough not to get recognized as flicker by the human eye.
