Battery Life

Ok so I updated to version 23.0.0 about a week ago and have definitely noticed worse battery life with the update. I have the paid version of better battery stats that helped me identify the culprit since the update. The app identified that the android *backup* service was the most active partial wake lock, active 98% of the time and the powermanagement service (kernal wake lock) prevented the phone going into deep sleep for 98% of the time. This was for a time that the screen was off and the phone was not doing anything. FYI typically when off the phone should almost immediately go into deep sleep, deep sleep was almost entirely prevented from running at all - hence the bad battery life/

I was able to fix the problem by going to Settings --> Backup and Restore - and then unchecking the "backup my data" checkbox. This has always being checked without causing much issue before hand but since the update its a massive battery hog for me. Since unchecking it, not joking my battery life has literally tripled or more. I was getting 8-10 hours tops since the latest update after unchecking this I ran it for 24 hours and still had 35% battery with roughly the same level of usage. I did also disable wifi too cause the the app identified that wifi was active for hours when I had only used the phone for about 15-20 min. I normally have wifi selected to only be active when the phone is active or plugged in I double I triple checked this too. Besides I've run all wifi options before hand and that could alone only account for about 15% tops.

I suspect that there is some sort of bug preventing the *backup* service (as identified by better battery stats) from completing or something.

Hope this helps people. Anyone else notinced bad battery life in v 23.0.0 versus 22.3.0???
[HTC Desire S] paulie-uk:
Sounds like you have some app installed that is constantly causing small changes,or some other syncing problem. My biggest battery usage after screen is Mobile standby (17%), followed by WiFi (11%) and Phone idle (8%).

Another way to massively increase battery life is Settings > Display > Brightness > (Automatic checked) Adjust

Scale these all the way down, e.g. I have mine set to 0, 5, 10, 15, 22, 30, 40, 44, 55, 66. This might be a bit too dim for some in bright light, but the Desire S's screen is more than bright enough most of the time, I don't understand why these settings are so high by default.

[MENTION=4244152]blindndumb[/MENTION] Can I have permission to port this to the Nexus One?

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] czopas:
Hi,

I did not find solution of my problem so I decide to ask for help all of you. It is possible to disable access to power menu when the phone is locked ? Fo example when the phone is locked and display is off, I click power buton display - display is on and when I press the power button a long time power menu is active.
[HTC Desire S] Tom Mix:
some questions

[MENTION=2217357]czopas[/MENTION]

indeed that is not good. so anyone can power of the phone. i dont think this is a good setting. thx for mention that!:good:

[MENTION=2176140]topic[/MENTION]

i follow czopas question: how can that be diabled?

and secondly: i still havent managed to get my slidershortcuts working with a pin secured lockscreen!

how can i use slider shortcuts with a pin secured lockscreen?

even my other desire s with stock rom and sense 3.0 can do that!
[HTC Desire S] broucker:
how do I downgrade?

[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
This is the wrong place to ask, that has nothing to do with the rom. Ask in the q&a section
[HTC Desire S] broucker:
has AVRCP 1.3?

1.does it support AVRCP 1.3?

2 does it support native video call over UMTS/3G network? (no, not skype, yahoo or any other videocall via internet)

3.does flash player 11 work on it?

How to flash boot.img on fastboot? I want to try this rom..
[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
Command is

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

And if you don't know how to set up Fastboot just Google it. You'll find a guide.

Wow I'm still noob ;)
[HTC Desire S] draken101:
Will this rom eventually get upgraded to Android 4.3? Seeing as its based on cyanogenmod which I presume will get the update.
[HTC Desire S] Px80:
I'm pretty sure that we will get an update :) but be patient
[HTC Desire S] petru.tomsa:
Also i am sure.... I think I know Flinny... :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
The dev of this ROM is bnd not flinny. ;)
[HTC Desire S] StormShadowBK:
Yes, but it uses the Andromadus kernel as base, which is maintained by ....

You guess it :p
[HTC Desire S] draken101:
Sweet :victory:

Other thing I've noticed dunno if its ROM related but when I use Google navigation the phone gets very very hot, and crashes sometimes. It doesn't happen with anything else and its not cause its in the sun it still gets hot when its in the shade when running Navigation, Plus the way it uses battery during navigation is definitely faster than my friends unrooted phone running nav???
[HTC Desire S] ValdoNunes:
hey guys, i'm on the 22.3.0 and i'm gonna update to the 23.0.0, do i need to flash gapps again?
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
If you do a dirty flash, than you won't need to flash Google apps again.
[HTC Desire S] ValdoNunes:
And what do you mean by dirty flash? Not wiping dalvik cache before doing it?
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
dirty flash = wipe only cache&dalvik
[HTC Desire S] ValdoNunes:
thanks :good:
[HTC Desire S] Supermatt01:
Well, I saw that Pac man was updated so I tried it again, but b&d's CM 10.1 it's better. on this one I'm still having to tap on the screen too many times to get a response. the screen response is low near the bottom so the hard keys often need multiple presses and the space bar on my keyboard is not very responsive. This happens on the CM build too but not so bad. Just bad enough that I can't play any fast paced games. I think I will need to restore the CM 10.1. It has taken me about 15 minutes to write this because of the keyboard response time.

I turned off pie, and I'm reevaluating my user experience. without pie on the response from the keyboard and hard keys seems much better. I think I should try it out a bit longer. This edit took 2.5 minutes
[HTC Desire S] Px80:
I still have these nasty random reboots on the latest version of PAC.

except that, i feel fine with this rom!
[HTC Desire S] Supermatt01:
I switched back to B&D CM 10.1 just after a day on Pac man. The battery was overheating even on a low clock speed. The previous problem was made better by turning off pie, granted better, but not gone. But I was scared of the temperature. It was getting hot even in sleep mode.
[HTC Desire S] SoulReaver75:
If it was hot, it was not sleeping, something was keeping your cpu up.
[HTC Desire S] rockerblood:
Is there easy way to flash boot.img?
[HTC Desire S] BooZon:
Via fastboot and command line in Windows

Can be there only up to date PA version? It would be nice if anyone do it. I like stock PA rather than AIO and I think that many users too. I tried to do it myself but it gives me errors.
[HTC Desire S] zenesis:
does any MDDI kernel user can use this PACman ROM above v20.0.1?
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
No. I'm quite sure about this from what I've read, though I have a Sony panel myself.
[HTC Desire S] zenesis:
the last working PACman rom for us MDDI kernel users is v20.0.1 and we're so eager to have the v23 =')
[HTC Desire S] belgianrebel:
Found a minor bug here. Not that it is bothering me but just wanted to see if I am the only one having this. When mobile data is turned off I don't see the signal strength in the status bar. All the bars are coloured dark. Although in the quick settings I have 2 or 3 bars coloured light grey so it means I have a signal but it is not indicated in the status bar. When data is turned on I can see the signal strength in the status bar...

BTW: did a clean install, I tried to clear dalvik and cache but it didn't change

send from my desire s
[HTC Desire S] Demianis:
Similar experience here. Would like to mention that the keyboard especially at the bottom row mostly reacted after 2 or 3 tips.

Now I switched to bnd's cm 10.1, there's not even the slightest problem.

Tested with standard and SwiftKey keyboard.

Thanks anyway. Besides that, both Rom's are very nice. Altough I would prefer PAC.

[HTC Desire S] g-banjo:
I think this should really be renamed "the masochist ROM" - it has never worked very well, the problems seem to be endless, there are so many better ones out there - it just seems there are a bunch of people who WANT there to be things wrong with their phones!
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
objection! I haven't had single problem with this ROM.
[HTC Desire S] g-banjo:
Glad to hear it! I was wondering if there might be one or two. :)
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
You mad bro? Haven't had any problems with this ROM.

BTW, the wrong section to post, this is Desire S thread, and not Desire HD thread :)
[HTC Desire S] g-banjo:
Aye,, I know. :)

My son now has my desire S, I was revisiting you guys out of nostalgia (and this thread keeps popping up on my xda app).

Okay, I did try this ROM a long time ago and just wondered why so many people are still having problems. Perhaps it's a smaller percentage than it looks.

Clipping issues in Google Navigation

Has anyone noticed clipping issues (Jittery-ness) in google navigation on this rom . It works fine and the jitteryness isn't bad enough to prevent you using the navigation software but it is somewhat irritating. Its there whether HW overlays is on or off, before someone recommends changing that.

Oh BTW ppl who have slow response from key pressess installing the v6 supercharger script really sorted that out for me phone is very fast and snappy now. :cool:

Oh and there is a new gapps out too http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
The problem with Google maps/navigation occurs in every single 4.2.2 ROM I've tried. So that's probably Google maps issue(not properly optimized for our phone? :confused: ).
[HTC Desire S] mark.m.moran:
When does one do this? After the ROM and Gapps is flashed!??

That'll do it :thumbup:

[HTC Desire S] AbuYazeedUK:
Hey thanks for this rom. I'm running into a problem every time i flash gapps then reboot the phone it doesn't boot and goes back into recovery.

EDIT: Never mind i've fixed it, had to reboot img file in fastboot

EDIT: Actually that didn't fix it, now the setup wizard process keeps stopping.
[HTC Desire S] belgianrebel:
You could try to flash the ROM and gapps again but first do a full wipe. After the installation wipe cache and dalvik.

First of all check md5 of the ROM. Maybe it didn't download correctly

send from my desire s
[HTC Desire S] AbuYazeedUK:
Hey thanks for the reply, when i boot the rom only the phone was working then i booted into recovery and flashed gapps and phone didn't boot after that, I just checked the md5 and and some numbers came up. I've just noticed some new gapps a few pages back does it matter which gapps i have? and i'm doing all this from 4ext recovery.
[HTC Desire S] belgianrebel:
I used the gapps from the original post and that worked to. You should try not to reboot in between flashing the ROM and gapps. Do a full wipe, flash ROM, flash gapps, flash boot.IMG, wipe davik and cache and then reboot. This should work. If not there might be something wrong your download so download again and try again :)

send from my desire s
[HTC Desire S] AbuYazeedUK:
That's what i was doing wrong then!! i followed the front page instructions:

- Make Sure You're On The Latest 4EXT Recovery

- Make A Backup

- Reboot Into Recovery

- Flash ROM (If HTC Dev Unclocked , Flash boot.img from fastboot also)

- Flash Gapps (Link below in download)

- Reboot

I was flashing rom zip then img and the phone was booting up after that then i went into to recovery to flash gapps but now i just did it your way and all is good with the world lol Thanks :good::D

PACMAN 4.3 Nightlies

I read on XDA's main page that PACman is getting 4.3 updates http://www.xda-developers.com/android/4-3-based-pac-man-nightlies-coming-to-a-device-near-you/

D&B we haven't seen you in quite a while ( I know you got a new Nexus 7) are you still gonna be updating the Desire S version and if so any idea when we might get the Android 4.3 PACman?
[HTC Desire S] spajdo:
Hi people. I have trouble with this new update.

I have too much restarts... I had installed nightly version (23), then I do full wipe and then install release 23. Then I restore my apps with helium app.

Now i have many random restarts. Can you help me plz? This ROM is great, but this restarts make me sad.

Oh, I installed new gaps, because goomanager give me update...

Sry for my english.
[HTC Desire S] Px80:
Some random reboots are normal for this rom. Hopefully it gets fixed next release.

Btw you installed v23, full wiped and then reinstalled it? Maybe it's because of the latest gapps.
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
Try to flash another kernel, like AndromadusMod and see if it helps.
[HTC Desire S] totalnoob34:
Don't do that! There are no kernels compatible with pac for saga! AndromadusMod will f*k up everything

If I helped, hit the thanks button! :)
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
Oh, ok. I thought, it's compatible. I used to use it, when I was on PAC.
[HTC Desire S] totalnoob34:
When I tried it, the phone became unusably slow, and they told me it wasn't supposed 2be used on anything but pure CM

If I helped, hit the thanks button! :)
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
The kernel worked for me on older versions though. Not sure about v23, so yes, it's maybe not the best idea to flash AndromadusMod on PAC, if you say so :)
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
Did you restore system apps as well by chance? Try maybe fresh install with minimum restored apps to reduce a possibility of restart caused by non ROM related stuff. Sorry, cant help you but I havent single problem with PAC.
[HTC Desire S] acoustiq:
Guys, I just installed the latest release after a full wipe, from the latest 4EXT recovery, nothing restored, just this ROM. Now the WiFi won't turn on... I haven't installed anything else but the ROM and the GApps.

Anyone else had this problem? The WiFi switch just stays off...

Worked fine for me

Just reporting in, everything worked fine for me, its my first time trying the PAC rom and i must say it lives up to what it says,

altho i cannot seem to find an option to change the glabal dpi, i have changed all dpi options and my launcher has changed :D but things like google play are still at 240? i will keep messing about, for those of you getting wifi errors and stuff i will detail my flashing steps as some people sometimes do it differently

1.check you have google apps (download it again and delete your other copies on your sd card).

2.download the latest Release and check the md5 )after you put it on your sd card)

3. safely remove your phone (or whatever your using to put the files onto your micro sd)

4. if your using your phone turn off usb storage mode.

5.turn off the phone and fully charge the phone(leave it off for 5min), ive found if you enter recovery while the phone has been off for a while it helps)

6. enter recovery through the hboot menu(you dont need to but i always have)

7. formet/clear your {data/factory reset}, {cache} and your {dalvik}... never forget the dalvik.

8. install zip from sd, flash pac rom, flash google apps and TURN OFF.

ONLY DO STEP 9+ if your hboot shows s-on, if not skip and turn your phone on

9. download android tools into your c: so the folder is at C:android tools

10.open the rom on your pc and extract the boot.img into the android tools folder

11.browse to c:

12. hold shift and right click on the andorid tools folder

13.put your phone into hboot menu and select fastboot, connect the usb to your pc and ensure that your phone says FASTBOOT USB before continuing

14. click open command prompt here and enter the following command

fastboot flash boot boot.img

when it finishes pull out the microusb (or safely remove if you wish)

reboot your phone and you will have installed pacrom,

note the first boot takes a while

for any newbies

to get into hboot

while the phone is off hold power down and press (quickly and release) the power button, then release power down, use the volume keys to select an option and power to select it

sorry for any mistakes i have made i just wish to help those who had a hard time flashing this

EDIT:

note just found out that on my desire s i cannot change the dpi per app without holding the phone in landscape, otherwise the save changes button will NOT show

You've installed the wrong Gapps. It's the Gapps for android 4.1, whereas you need the version for android 4.2. Before you ask me for the link, I'll tell you, that it's in the OP. ;)

Just do a full wipe, flash the ROM, and flash the correct Gapps afterwards. ;)
[HTC Desire S] xTheLostProphetx:
OH MY GOD, IT'S WORKING!!! Thanks so much! I was close to tears thinking I'd permanently bricked up my phone.

Funnily enough I did d/l the correct gapps, which was on my desktop. But when I flashed Pacman, I forgot about it and then downloaded the incorrect gapps through the phone itself.

Anyway thanks guys, I'm looking forward to many more mishaps haha.

I've been waiting for Android 4.3 (also here) if possible, but also just the native master key etc fixes that made it into cyannogenmod in July. However, it looks like the last github activity from blind'n'dumb was on 2nd of June and the official PAC-man website does not seem to list our device anywhere, so I'm wondering if anybody else has built PAC for our device, or can give me a step-by-step of how to do it from a vanilla ubuntu install (i.e. listing all packages required, how to download the sources from github) and what do to do build them, etc. I know our device is getting a little old now, but I don't plan to get a new one quite yet.

And if you're reading this, blind'n'dumb, you've been doing an awesome job and I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we hope you continue to do so!
[HTC Desire S] totalnoob34:
Our device is not listed on the website because it is an unofficial build :D

I hope to read something from blindndumb soon :)
[HTC Desire S] zeus.lny:
There maybe many issues with the devises such as mddi panels, kernel incompatibility issues which may have plagued the development of our device.... Also the aged hardware

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

Issues such as mddi panels, kernel incompatibility, aged hardware may have become an hindrance in porting/updating roms to our beloved DS. I hope roms such as PAC and Flyme is updated by blindndumb really looking forward to these builds.
[HTC Desire S] punitthereddevil:
does this rom have inbuilt support for usb otg hosting...? or do i have to look for a supported kernel...?
[HTC Desire S] totalnoob34:
Not natively. If you want OTG on 4.2.2 you'll have to flash a CM 10.1 build and then AndromadusMod experimental kernel
[HTC Desire S] Koensk:
Installed succesfully

So much reading and finaly it all worked.

When I upgraded from an older pac I ended up with a blue screen after flashing.

Now with All in on toolkit I got it fixed. I think flashing the kernel after I flashed the Rom did the job.

Still it's all confusing. Kernel S-off (mine is ON btw) Roms Radio's etc etc. Jeesz I'm such a noob. But I made it work. :good:

Thanks for this rom. I really love it

New download link for v23

Hi,

can someone please upload and post a link to download working v23 release ZIP ?

I tried downloading yesterday 3 times, unfortunately the ZIP file is always corrupted. MD5 checksum is OK and the file should be fine, but no unpacker (winrar, winzip, 7zip) can open it, nor can Recovery to install it.

I have for now installed the v23 Nightly, but I'd rather have the official release.

thank you!

The filesize is OK, but the checksums are all wrong. But what baffles me is why even the reported MD5 checksum on goo.im is different?

Anyway, if you have the working ZIP archived, any chance you could upload it somewhere to share please?

I gotta say, even on the v23 nightly, this is by far the best ROM I've tried.. I've been on Sense roms so far, but this cleaner Jellybean seems like a better solution.

The only thing I have found to be working badly is the G-sensor, so display auto-rotate doesn't work too well. But since I rarely need it, it's no biggie.
