Somewhere along the last build and/or battd and bt fix, my wifi connectivity has become much more stable (I think I wrote this already) and despite still having reproducible disconnection problems with a certain app (iSyncr), now I can stream music and browse for long periods of time and download large apps in one go, quite nice

Also, I just hit 48h of battery life with a few short calls, some music streaming, browsing facebook on chrome, and light gaming (waiting a few minutes in line at the bank), which is unprecedented for my device, I used to get a little over 24h with even less use (network instability seemed to have a good share of responsibility for fast battery drain)

I'm so happy with it I think I'll skip the 28.11 build, after so many posts claiming a placebo performance increase for previous builds, having a bunch of people claiming the opposite now makes me think the problem is real to at least some degree

EDIT: I'm on the 18.11 build (second to last build at the moment) + new battd + bluetooth fix zip

Ho guys. I'm on latest build 1128 since yesterday. I woke up today and my defy ate 20% while I was sleeping.

I don't know if this last build enters in deep sleep. I took a screenshot where you can see that phone still active while screen is locked.

I only use 2g and I always disable account updates and Google maps location as was said weeks or months ago.

Anyone with this battery drain?

Cheers.
[Defy Android Development] castillo11:
Again, same battery high drain here.

The rest is working awesome!
[Defy Android Development] jrp1305:
+1 battery drains like a hungry monster.

1128 build.

Other than that, everything pretty cool, but for me battery life like that is a killer. I want to sleep knowing the phone will wake me up..lol
[Defy Android Development] Vitor_Hugo:
+1 for huge battery consumption. Build 28/11 is using 2x more battery than CM7.2 stable
[Defy Android Development] JustinBacle:
Just to say that this ROM is working really great, no problems to report.

(2811 build, never had to do a full wipe. Always updated from build to build)

I have friends that have much "better" phones (sgs, Sony Ericson with JB official rom , optimus ...)but defy is the only one with a stable JB.

Thank you Quarkx ! :)
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
yes, it looks like the 28.11 build is much more battery hungry, than the previous 18.11, and for me there was no improvement of any kind after upgrading. so i guess that means im going back to 18.11. and no, its definitely not because of the battd, its not some program that tells the device how much battery to use, it just calculates. so something different must be wrong in the background.

[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:

and no, i have no knowledge of any bugtracker other than this thread. there might be a few in the general section as well, but xda forums are the main platform of feedback to the devs.
[Defy Android Development] Quiksilver20:
yes, my battery died 12 hours after charging, when it usually lasts 25hs.
[Defy Android Development] Bilistas:
I can report a much more battery drain than the regular.. And it's the android OS. The 18 build was doing this. I already tried everything except full wipe. Hope this gets fixed.

I would like to take the time to thanks quarxs again for this build. It drains a lot of the battery but it sure is stable.

Trying to update so I go to reboot > recovery which brings me to boot menu ICS recovery v5.6.7

Apply update from zip

And gives me an error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/

I tried mounting the card manually it won't work,

But when I boot to 11.18 nightly the sdcard is mounted and I am able to access the files.. Anyone have any idea ? Please help and thanks

More power quarx!!!
[Defy Android Development] Persechini:
On a side note, how much performance would be diferent in a near full system partition vs the same build, apps and configs with some space left? Say, for instance, flashing minimal gapps and downloading the rest from play store as opposed to flashing full gapps, deleting cm walpapers app (chosen for being the largest unused system app) and CM file manager (or making them user apps), and removing the default ringtones and replacing them with a smaller selection of only the ones I actually use? Because I now remember I did that when I installed the previous build (18.11)

Maybe it should be standard practice?
[Defy Android Development] erickxd:
Thanks Quarx!

Everything perfect in version 20121128!

I had problems, but after giving Wipe Data, reinstall newest Gapps, everything was perfect.

How is it your battery life?

Enviado pelo meu Android! :)
[Defy Android Development] sunil_defy:
How about speed. Does your phone lag. Mine shows a free memory of 150M bit lags terribly.
[Defy Android Development] krkdesigns:
Hey wait for a new build if you are not happy. Have you done a clean install?
[Defy Android Development] S_xda:
Regarding battery drain, here's what I have experienced:

I use my phone primarily for calling, so battery drain is actually very less for me. On CM9 Quarx, battery drain was on an average 0.2% per hour (as measured by battery monitor widget). It was usually 5 or 6 days before I had to recharge after a full charge of the battery.

On CM10, in the first builds, battery drain was, on an average, 0.5% per hour. This is why I started using CM9 again, until I saw rave reviews about the new battd. On the 18/11 build, with the new battd, I had 0.3% battery drain per hour. But sadly, due to the Linaro optimisations or ortherwise, my phone didn't ring and notifications weren't audible. The new 28/11 build drains @ 0.4% per hour and is free from the "no-sound" bug. The only bug I have encountered is that "Reboot to Recovery" doesn't work, but Quarx has already fixed it via this commit.

Oh, and can confirm that perceived speeding up due to Linaro optimisations is a placebo effect. The phone feels like a Ferrari after two weeks on CM9, both on 18/11 and 28/11 build.
[Defy Android Development] jblyth:
I lost GMAIL until I removed and reinstalled the GMAIL Ap

I just updated to 28/11 this morning (and yes, I did wipe the cache and Davlik cache afterwards), and suddenly GMAIL kept crashing immediately. Most of my contacts disappeared too, so it appears that something happened to my Gmail sync.

I tried reflashing the latest GAPPS but still crashed UNTIL I wiped the Gmail cache/data and removed the app. I reinstalled from Play Store, and everything thing seems to be working ok now - thank heavens!

Phone is very laggy at the moment, so I will go back to the previous version of the ROM (which was very fast) if it doesn't improve in the next day or so.

Yes I have done a clean install. Moreover it was pretty good with 4.2 I had to downgrade as the 25/11 build didn't support network. When I tried to install 18/11 defy went into boot loop. To get it back I did a clean install.

[Defy Android Development] bbllaazzee:
Defy System partition size is limited (325 MB), looks like it is not possible to increase it, otherwise Quarx would have increased it, as the ROM is getting bigger.

If you flash 4.2, all the apps in 4.2 are almost 1.5x the current app size(some are 3x). The Keyboard app would have got deleted, but there would not be any space for the new keyboard app, as it is much bigger in size than the existing keyboard. Use ADB to remount the system partition in rw mode and manually remove the apps/media you don't want, this should give some space to upgrade the 4.2 apps in system partition. #1 and #2 are due to inconsistent apps. There are certain lib files that needs to be copied, even that would have failed, causing more unstability.
[Defy Android Development] AnTerNoZ:
u can use AROMA Filemanager to del apps from recovery, it's easier and faster.

[Defy Android Development] soyusado:
Everybody should flash the latest ROM, I'm impressed with the smoothness the only thing bad is the battery, it drains really quick an average eight to ten hours of service, this get shorter because of the drops.
[Defy Android Development] jrp1305:
What/where is that battery fix? I tried to look for it, but search gave me lots of posts about battery I was not able to find the link.

I was on 1128, but man that battery life is horrible. I can barely go to sleep and wake up with the phone with some juice, maybe people decide not to use the latest ROM, which is pretty cool by the way,. because of battery life. I am one of those, back to 1109 when it leasts more than 15hours.

If wifi is on or 3G life decreases a lot, unfortunatelly.

But apart from battery life, ROm is GREAT!!! ;)

[Defy Android Development] Pacquix:
I was abroad last week (Germany) before flashing 28/11 of course, and the phone started rebooting in loop; I thought it was due to the baseband but it didn't even load and was stuck on the cyanogen logo, so I had to backup and go back to ext3; when I restored the same data it worked. I have been using ext4 for some weeks without problems.

Moreover, when I flash updates it sometimes uninstall some apps (while keeping the data), happened even to the xda app. And sometimes I lose the ringtone settings for tones on the sd card, but they don't go default, just set to none.

For all you folks out there who were in need of the dock sensor (mostly car dock owners), you may want to give Blechd0se's kernel a test drive (pun pun). It's working again for me on Quarx's 11/28 with Blechd0se's 11/28 build on top. Good luck! Link to Blechd0se:

Thanks for your hint, but the car dock sensor is working fine for me with the last Quarx builds + QKernels since at least 2-3 weeks now.

There have been problems with the dock sensor before, but Quarx fixed them in his QKernel already. :good:

But anyway, I will take a look at Blechd0se's custom kernel, as he is implementing some nice new governors, I/O schedulers etc.

I would like the idea that Quarx and Blechd0se worked together on developing the kernel :highfive: (since Quark's seems to have some battery drain issues and Blechd0se's some stability problems ATM), so we can all benefit from the best kernel, rather than having a separate kernel to flash on top.

What do you think?

[Defy Android Development] slimshady76:
After applying the bt fix I've experienced about 10 reboots when enabling wifi. I haven't reported them before because I was trying to individualize the circumstances leading to the reboots.
[Defy Android Development] K3n H1mur4:
Random reboots, at least for me, were caused by JellyX kernel: its RAM management was poor, sometimes the phone ran out of memory and then rebooted. Reflashed the ROM wiping only cache and dalvik, and got no more reboots.

But I've also been experiencing large battery drops: my batt life is kinda nice (lasting almost a day), but, when it gets on around 40%, it drops to 4%, and, when it reaches 2%, the phone shuts off (like if the battery was empty). I can tell its not battery being worn because its brand new, got it around 2 or 3 days ago. On my old battery (which got replaced by this one), and on previous builds, it also got drops, but smaller ones (like 10% drops randomly, about 2 or 3 times per discharge cicle). Will give a few more days for the battery to "calibrate" itself, then I'll see if the results are better.
[Defy Android Development] XJeFX:
