My battery died yesterday after 2 days and 12 hours with minimal usage ( original battery )

The bugs noticed :

1. Bluetooth

2. buttons light works sometimes

3. phone app laggy ( phone vibrates first and rings and vibrate after )

Also after one day of usage :

-the phone app lags are getting worse with the ringtone interruptions and screen not turning on .( i have missed some calls because that)

-the battery dropped from 60 to 50 and fron 20 to 10 instantly . ( i thing is just a bug on the battery notifier as i had 1% of battery and i made 4 calls of couple of minutes until the phone tured off)

-music on appolo stops a sec (like a lag on playing) when turning the sreen off .

I think that all these bugs (appart the phone lag) can be solved by restarting the phone but i had beein using the phone from 99% to 0 % of 2 days and a half without any restart .

It seems that Skype Video works by default on the latest nightly. Skype updated yesterday and it works Ok now. The only issue i found is overall lag of the app (that was there always) but in video it's ok. The other person can clearly hear and see me.

I am posting this because in the past on Cm10/9 we had to use a patch and it was not good at all. So if you want now you can use this on our beloved Defy.

Calculator

My CM10 Calculator is not calculating log() when i try log(some number) e gives me an Error.... Is someone getting this same problem ? CM9 calc works fine, is possible to extrack CM9 calc to intall in my CM10 ? Anyone have the apk ? :D
[Defy Android Development] okij:
I'm not sure if the phone lag is a bug. I rather think the problem is that the phone app doesn't stay in memory all the time and first has to be loaded when a call comes in.

Does anyone know if the phone app is locked in memory by stock Gingerbread firmwares or e.g. by CM7.2?

If so, it would be a good idea if it was locked in memory in CM10 too.

If not, you could try a method I described today some posts up in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34483742&postcount=12880.

It would be great if you could try this and report back, so that other users know if it works and that the devs know if it's worth locking the phone (and contacts) app in memory.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

I just checked and Log() is working fine on the CM10 calculator of Quarx' 11/18 nightly.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik when updating?

As a good alternative, you might check RealCalc from the market, which is a scientific calculator with a nice layout IMHO.
[Defy Android Development] Pacquix:
I agree! first time I run it it's fine but later it gets very slow... I just wonder why it doesn't stop lagging once it has loaded again :\
[Defy Android Development] FlashTec80:
How much space do you got after installation of this marvellous rom? I installed the 18.11 nightly and gapps-jb-picasa-20121011-signed zip, have around 4mb of rom space left. Is this normal or am I doing anything wrong?

Cheers
[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
Let's do it yourself. You can do it two ways:

[Guide]Locking Apps In Memory

[GUIDE] Locking contacts/sms apps in memory on JB/cm10 (technical / baksmali way)
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
tried both methods time ago and none worked.. anyone can confirm he could do that and see the apps he locked in memory always present in settings - running apps?
[Defy Android Development] danhtho:
my signal status is here

is it normally ?

My phone sometime can not receive call or sms
[Defy Android Development] okij:
Alternatively, you can try to lock the phone and contacts apps using Gemini App Manager. I posted this method today in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34483742&postcount=12880. For me, the dial pad is ready for dialing ca. 1-2 seconds after selecting the phone app. I don't have problems with incoming calls either.

Please report back if this method works for you too.
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
thanks, I tried that method also after reading your posts, thanks.

but it doesn't seem to work 100% either.. I mean, first start of phone/contact apps after reboot seems slow anyway, maybe because they need to start at least once after boot to work.. also I don't see phone and contacts in settings - running apps.. finally, I would prefer not to install a third app to do that if possible.. :angel: :p

Report on 18112012 build

Report on 18112012 build:

The Setup

Defy+ with standard vSels and clocking

Memory tweaks disabled (zRAM, purging of assets and KSM)

Data and cache formatted to ext4

The Good

Battery usage – 2% per hour for average usage, no wifi, HSDPA on permanently (proximity to GSM tower dependant)

Speed – supersonic, no lags, more than 100M RAM free all the time

The Bad

Data connectivity – bug is back, does anyone know if SlugZero’s patch has been included in the 2nd boot builds?

The Ugly

Screen sometimes becomes glitchy and unresponsive, particularly when trying to answer a call

The General Impression

Other than the data drops, by far the best build for me, to date.
[Defy Android Development] okij:
Thanks for trying it and for reporting back! :)

Interestingly, the phone app isn't shown in settings - running apps on my phone either, but Gemini App Manager shows that its in RAM. Probably settings - running apps doesn't show it at all (I didn't see it there even directly after using the phone app). :confused:

The first start of the phone app is fast for me too (as far as I can recall, I didn't reboot now to try it out), which makes sense, because it is set to auto start by default.

BTW, I don't want to promote any 3d party app - it's just that the app I mentioned allows you to set the "Don't Kill" flag (and I find it more comfortable than to change scripts), mayby other apps are also capable of this. You can even uninstall Gemini App Manager after changing the flags, because even after 2-3 new Nightlys (i.e. installation of new versions of the phone / contacts apps), the flags are still set.
[Defy Android Development] slimshady76:
I have a Defy+, and I've never doneba full wipe and SBF since my first 2nd Boot ROM install. I'm on the 11/18 one, and the phone and contacts apps started to pop up faster after disabling Zram. I still have KSM enabled. I can also confirm the BT bug. I have formatted /data and /cache as ext4 a couple of builds ago. Never had a data corruption issue.

Overall, I have to say this is the fastest and most stable ROM for me. I haven't had any reboots other than the ones caused by BT, and the battery consumption is about what I'd call "normal", giving me about a day of usage with screen bright turn to minimal and a 15 seconds screen off time. Also, I use 2G most of the time, eventually switching to 3G to download something or updating an app.

[Defy Android Development] moors:
issues with 11/18

these are some visible bugs..

1. Bluetooth bug - everyone already discussed this one

2. Settings button not illuminated sometimes

3. Gallery app acting weird - I was surprised no one posting about it except me. Since 18/11, pictures in the gallery app is sorted differently, different pics displayed when clicked on some other pic, some pics displayed rotated and stretched. Installed another album app for the time being, and that works with no issue.

4. Can any1 do something to make the call app faster - it should load within a sec atleast. And delay between pressing the button on screen and the number being displayed.

5. Data connection lost sometimes. (Had no problem in previous build)
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
1.

Try the fix available on quarx website

2. Which button do you mean? The one in the notification menu (upper right corner) or the real phone settings button (lower left corner?)

3. Use quickpic, much better and customizable than gallery

4. Really hope someone who accomplished in doing this will post a step by step guide sooner or later..

3g problems

If I have wifi activated and then deactivate it, 3g wont work so I have to reboot the phone and it works! any solve to this issue?

[Defy Android Development] remix96:
To Quarx...

@Quarx i' m on WIUI GB and i was on CM10' s 08 September Build. It was running good, but the multitasking was orryble, also the audio for games like NOVA 3 or NFS MW, while on WIUI they' re perfect; In CM10 i had only 100 MB free, while on WIUI i always have up to 210 MB free. So, i want to install CM10 again, but i' m reading that the downgrade from 2bootbuild is diffucult, and that it have many bugs... but i want a Stable CM10 (like it was before Custom Kernel implementation)!

I don' t want Custom Kernel, for me it is useless, so...

Can you please make a CM10 build without Custom Kernel?
[Defy Android Development] ppero196:
Try new build with custom kernel.

Maybe you'll change your mind.

Sent from my Balls of Steel
[Defy Android Development] remix96:
Yeah, if the Custom Kernel will be stable... i had read that the battery is not good, and it have bugs with some apps. I want a Stable ROM, and the CM10 was it...
[Defy Android Development] ppero196:
Don't read. Try it.

Battery is good, all apps I tried work fine..

Sent from my Balls of Steel
[Defy Android Development] Kyle07:
It still is. It's extremely stable
[Defy Android Development] bone101:
Try it and and yo will see ...

The way back to CM7 is not difficult if you have an backup (system/data) and frojo/CM7 fixed Kernel.zip

Bluetooh work for me now. But Wifi is not ok for me.. others reported that it work for them

In 17.11. build i had to reboot to get wifi if i used mobile data . i tried everything & found no solution

will try ro reflash .sbf maybe this helps

cheers
[Defy Android Development] remix96:
Ok... maybe i will test it when a new build comes.

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Did you see it?!?!? I use only wifi, and no 3G... how this ROM may be Stable for me????? :mad:
[Defy Android Development] Krokogator:
Remember that 95% of people posting here will talk about their problems with their phones.

If someone doesn't have problems with his phone, you won't see him in this thread posting :)

For me JB by Quarx is one of the most stable rom out there. Maybe there are some small problems like bluetooth (got fixed today) but overall no force closes, no restarts :)

Right now it's great rom and can only be better and better. Waiting for kernel update ^^
[Defy Android Development] Pacquix:
With wi-fi on it drains the same or less battery than stock rom

the only issues are the same as the old CM10 as they're probably not related to the custom kernel (like the contacts/phone app not cached)

I really wonder why you guys simple ignore the Opera Mobile incompatibility. It may not affect you, it may not affect the most people at this thread, but yes, the bug is there, it's related to 11/18 and it's not nice for those used to this browser. Indeed this version is the nicest ever, and I'm using it, yet the problem.

So, instead of complaining, I would like to know if it is possible to point out this problem (memory leak?) somehow and perhaps fix it. Gafanhotz, could you please help me?

Thanks

[Defy Android Development] Persechini:
18.11 alive and kicking in my device. Had a few hiccups with FCs the first attempt to install it thou, I had to wipe data and restore apps from backup

so, my experience;

old stuf:

- wifi drop problem with certain apps still there

new stuff:

- data is very *****y to connect after turning on for the first time or after wifi turning off, the notification drawer data toggle icon keeps freezing on "on" all the time (can't see if it's actually toggling anything since it doesn't connect in the meantime), but the connection is stable once connected

- a lot os mini freezes that weren't there 2 versions ago (I skipped the 17.11 build), first build in many I felt the performance go down from the previous build

- I tried after bluetooth fix got upload, so far bluetooth crashes, but no files sent either, it's like bluetooth got turned off the moment the file starts sending (actually, a lot like the wifi bug)

Just to keep the spirits up, other these few points, the ROM is still very stable, very usable for day-to-day operations (specially when keeping games and apps the grab data while sleeping at a minimum for max battery life)
[Defy Android Development] lexer98:

I wiped my defy and installed 11.18 but camera and galley apk were no longer in my menu :/ i wiped again but nothing happened, why? (I flashed gapps correctly)
[Defy Android Development] jasonnew:
I had connection drop today after i turned on the BT and turned off the WIFI,no phone connection at all, the flight mood was kinda dodgy then , I can't turn on flight mood , cos it's grey .only way to make it work that I have to reboot the phone.

it was first time since I updated to 1118 build.

Any suggestions?

WIFI signal seems weaker than other phone, 20% less at least.

EXT4 - in my opinion - causes the trouble to make a lot of effort to try any of the new build.

When going back to CM7 for example - you have to restore SBF in order to restore EXT3.

Is there any way to have EXT3 or some ZIP that will format to EXT3?

The thing is that whether I want to try any of Quarx NEWest ROM and I will want to go back to CM7 or any other ROM - I have to do factory reset with SBF and stuff - this takes time and takes all the fun...

Thanks in advance for the answer.

I have used WIUI GB on Defy(MB525) in the past till you cameup with CM10 .,

I used to prefer WIUI GB ROM form other GB roms due to 720p video playback(flawless) and Video calling capability on Skype/Gtalk(Obviously using back cam).,:D

But CM10 lags a bit in these two things. Is there any probability, we can have these in ur future roms., Also after 24.09 CM10 builds, the custom Kernel roms are a bit not stable., mainly on battery front., Everytime i flash a rom., I use it for 2 days ., then get back to 24/09 or 12/09 builds.,:(

Also kindly include MIUI kind of backup app in ur sources., which would help switching between ROMs without losing any data.,:cool::cool:

BT fix does not work as expected :( This morning i would like to start BT, but it does not and no message. After reboot everything okay
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
You can find Format ~xxx~ to ext3 in Bootmenu - Tools - Format...

And you don't have to format to ext4 to use CM10, so why not just stick with ext3 and save yourself the trouble? I'm on ext4 and I must say I can't notice any difference in performance...
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
i formatted data and cache as ext4 and I noticed that wipe data/factory reset command takes longer now, especially when formatting /cache.. is that because of the new filesystem? or if I run wipe data/factory reset /data and /cache are reverted to ext3?

is there a definite way to be 100% sure about which filesystem is present in /data and /cache? if i correctly understood both mount command and fstab content are not fully reliable.. thanks!

I did not format anything to EXT4 - Quarx latest build did it automaticly.

I did try to format to EXT3 (frankly speaking I advised the same to other mate) but this way did not help - the format was unsuccesful. After loading SBF - twice to be honest - "things" get back to normal.

I LOVE the JB version - it is SO GREAT, but...

BUT:

- red call end button during call is not responding (I and other dudes have to press twice or more to disconnect the conversation) like in stock or WIUI;

- EXT4 format - no simple way to test the Quarx build;

- battery performance (I really don't know what to do with the battd that Quarx posted) worse than other (i.e. WIUI).
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
I don't know for sure if it is the case with quarx cm10 builds but in eppys cm9 builds it is just the ext4 driver that's mounting our ext3 partitions and therefore running "mount | grep data" shows /data and /cache mounted as ext4 but if you check the partitions in fstab they are still ext3

look at ur script, it don't make a tmp folder in /data or delete the files in data/battd what is needed for Quarx battd demon, to work right.

u can use

delete("");

in the updater-script to delete files in data/battd folder

and just extract a empty folder, with name tmp, in data.
[Defy Android Development] tongax:
best use

delete("/data/tmp");
run_program("/sbin/mkdir","/data/tmp");

So, after hard testing I finally made the good zip !

I hope it will work for you but it work for me.

The script does :

remove /data/battd directory

create /data/tmp directory

replace the old battd file with the new one

I check with adb and all this operation are done after flashing this zip in recovery.

Sorry for the last scripts...
