[Defy Android Development] BlazeReborn:
Using the latest build now.

Battery life has gone up drastically: about 50% drained in 3 hours with moderate use and connected to Wi-Fi. Still not what I desire, but given my device's age and battery capacity, it'll do.

But while on 3G battery drains too fast...about 50% in 1 hour with little to no use, and it overheats. A LOT. This forces me to switch data off and then back on when I want to check IMs. I do not know if anything can be done about it.

I also experience a few freezes when I use the phone. Yesterday I had to literally remove the battery to reboot my phone twice. This doesn't happen too often, and given the Defy's dated hardware, I can live with that.

Deep sleep works as intended.

Overall this is a good ROM for daily usage, the only issue I have now is the battery drain while on 3G.

Cheers, and keep up the good work!

[Defy Android Development] Pekempy:
With 0527 build (clean - no gapps, or even with gapps), I keep getting bootloops.

It's fine the first boot, and perhaps one or two after that, but from then on I get bootloops (I've left it for an hour bootlooping, it doesn't get out).

I've tried wiping dalvik/cache, data, fixing permissions.. all sorts.

MB525 Bayer (Red Lens) + 0527 build

Any ideas?

(P.S. This is when I reboot either through power menu, removal of battery or battery running out of juice)
[Defy Android Development] 2Pints:
Ive had numerous problems with this rom, up until now...

As with your case i was stuck in a bootloop, and wiping/re-installing didnt solve the problem.

what worked for me was flashing an older CM7 Rom ( after using the tools option in the main recovery menu to format ext3) using it for a short while, then re-flashing cm10 27th May build+gapps from clockwork mod recovery ( that is/was in the older cm7 builds)

so far no bootloops, no reboots, and an excellent battery life :)

problem with the new teamwin recovery?
[Defy Android Development] Pekempy:
I've not had a single problem with TWRP, unless you're suggesting that the bootloops are caused by TWRP...

I've tried going from SBF (I'm using BL7 so THIS method to root SBF) and still no luck :/
[Defy Android Development] leandeganis:
For my mb525, the 16.5 was clearly the best one. Awesome performance, less battery drain than previous, and no major bugs except the wifi interfering signal of other devices.

27.5 is working worst for me, really less performance and similar battery drain.
[Defy Android Development] jountha:
Jst wipe data then cache.....install from zip both 0527 than minimal gapps and than reboot....go to recovery and than again wipe data and cache.....nothing more. Still no boot loop or anything. Jst my battery life is decreased bt i cant guess in one day.....so lets c how long battery will stand.
[Defy Android Development] gmakris:
just the opposite for my phone - comparing 27th with 16th build the latest build if far more better for my Defy plus

After 58 hours of use I still have 40% battery juice, no lags, performance very good, quick GPS lock, not reboots, no Wifi interfering, lot of free memory, and quick boot time.

I try to think what I would like to be improved in the next build but I cant think anything except a slight performance improvement (with the same battery life)

[QUOTE [MENTION=1899302]fpr[/MENTION]iot;41998988]I had wifi interferences with 0526 build, I would just like to know if it could occur with 0527 ?[/QUOTE]

I haven't tested this build yet, maybe I might the next week or so, but I have not seen any changes made regarding WiFi, so it stands to reason that it should behave exactly the same, regarding interference.

I think to properly answer [MENTION=1899302]fpr[/MENTION]iot's question, you'd have to have had the Wifi interference issue in the first place, since I don't think he's asking about whether you had WiFi problems regarding anything else; did the WiFi interference issue occur for you in previous builds?

Yes, I had interference probs in previous builds
[Defy Android Development] AnTerNoZ:
Jurnaling CAN cause Problems ;)

Your right with that bootloop problem..(there is a data loose problem at hard reboot present, it depends on what apps write on data partition at the time the defy get a collapse), if u got the next time a endless reboot, go in recovery open the terminal and type

e2fsck -p dev/block/mmcblk1p25

u see there is a failure in data partition.

like this:

dev/block/mmcblk1p25: Inode 15387 has an invalide extent node (blk 71689, lblk 0)

dev/block/mmcblk1p25: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY
(i.e., without -a or -p options)

With twrp u can't delete it or wipe it, if u reboot into bootmenu u can delete it from there, (format cache and data to ext4 again) and restore your data partition.

Until now i don't know a really fix for it, we can try some more mount options for /data partition

Now we use:

/dev/block/mmcblk1p25 /data ext4 rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,data=[COLOR="Red"]writeback[/COLOR] 0 0

i don't really want to enable the full jurnaling, that would be safer but slow.

[Defy Android Development] woodman:
I've just tested 0527 build and as I've already noticed in 0526 build, wifi interfrences issue still occur in 0527. As Antiga Prime said, there is no wifi changes in last build and that's why I wondered why some people had not this issue.

While testing 0527 build, I've noticed that interferences occur when WiFi signal is weak AND when two or more devices connected to WLan are near.

No huge battery drops. How did u manage that? I thought it was normal to have Android OS draining around 60-70% of battery on deep sleep. Is there a workaround? I'm on the 27/052013 build
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Even though I'm not on Quarx's builds right now, the only times I've seen Android OS at the near top of my Battery Usage is when I leave WiFi on. And even though I usually freeze most, if not all, Google related services and apps, (aside from Google Account Manager), when I took that screenshot I had not frozen any of the Google services, even though I have now because some Google services were keeping my phone awake.

I use Yet Another Forum User's Deskclock.apk, since the one that comes with this ROM, and most I've used, has a bug which keeps the phone awake unnecessarily, and Greenify; I also shutdown apps I don't use instead of just going directly to Home.

Also, that is not on the first charge cycle; I have never gotten good battery life after flashing the ROM initially.

Sometimes I get battery drops, sometimes I don't, but it's usually between 10% - 4% and 60% - 50%. It's most likely only a visual issue, since I still get about the same battery performance with or without the drop.
[Defy Android Development] Spotja:

GPS options and LTO

I came back from maniacs CM7.2 to the 27.5. release on MB525 with green lense and must say I am impressed.

Very snappy performance, and very good battery life as far as I can tell - my over 2 year old battery has drops, of course, and does not hold up to well anymore on either ROM, but I could not notice a substantial decrease in battery life on CM10. Great work!

What I noticed however is that the LTO download options seem to be missing in the settings although their configuration options are set in /system/etc/gpsconfig.xml ? Or am I overlooking sth. here?

In any case, I was having severe issues with Ingress (and GoogleMaps, too) not updating my location when moving and loosing a satellite fix (and I still need to switch between GPS-Test and Ingress occasionally to acquire a new position). Adding the following options (source) that are different in regard to the GPS config on maniacs build improved the situation quite a bit - still not the best GPS performance, but much better than on pristine CM10.

LbsEnable="false"
LbsLocal="true"
LbsSyncLto="true"
LbsSyncCells="true"

I also downloaded LTO data manually, but that should not have an impact on Googles location accuracy as far as I can tell.

On another note, I was surprised to find a backup of my /data/location folder I had previously made as /data/location_copy after wiping and a clean install - any idea how it could have survived? The FS was correctly reformatted as ext4, so I do not get how the wipe did not delete it?
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
I'm using that one on CM10 based ROM; you forgot to "Force close Clock and clear its cache and data before you replace the apk". Just wipe data and cache for the "Clock" app, then it will work. ;)

[Defy Android Development] 2Pints:
I had all sorts of problems and issues with the 27/05 build, and one major issue with rrandom restarts, and one re-start that resulted in a bootloop.

However, to recover form the bootloop I flashed and older CM7 rom ( after formating to ext3 first ) as i needed a working phone that morning.

I then went back to recovery, and clockwork mod recovery from cm7, wiped everything and re-flashed the 27.05 build from clockwork mod, and its like a complelty different Rom, all of the issues that i was expeiriencing before have gone, and the best thing about it is the battery life - the 27.05 build appears to have the best battery life of any version of cyanogenmod ( 7/9/10 ) that i have tried to date.

I own two defys - an old well used and abused defy mb525 thats just over 2 years old, and a brand new defy plus thats only a month old or so.

even my old origanal 2 year old defy battery (BF5X) in the defy plus has lasted 23 hours with moderate usage, ( a bit of music listening, using 3g, using wifi, gps on+maps when required) previously that would have been impossible.

Very nice! v5/27 is a winner!

Just upgraded my Defy+ to 10.1, v5/27. Some problem with previous version of GAPPS that went away when I installed the recent version from here: www dot goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip.

So far, so good. Wifi works, battery seems normal...the only item I'm wrestling with is connecting w/the MS Exchange server for email. Error message says wrong userid or pw when correct ones are used. Other than that all is good.

Hats off to the development team!

Update- got MS Xchange email working fine. Server address was incorrect. My fault!
[Defy Android Development] gmakris:
With moderate use at last my Defy plus went to 0% battery after 4 days and 9 hours with the 27th build....

I did some tweaking (removing apps, change settings, edit build.pro) it sure helped but the ROM is very good

I 've never had a smartphone with battery life more than 24 hours.

I hope Quarx's future builds will keep the same battery and CPU settings and focus to better smoothness, and adding new features...

bootloop

Hi,

I was running 2605 rom and after a battery swap without a previuos system shutdown, my mb526 didn't boot anymore. I did this really many times before so I was comfortable enough that It will not cause any harm. Well, not this time.

So I first tried an e2fsck of data and system partitions and then, being the filesystems consistent, I did a restore of a TWRP backup but unfortunately I did not have enough battery power to complete it succesfully. After that also TWRP recovery was inaccessible and then I decided to go RSD Lite.

I flashed 4.5.1-134-231, rebooted the phone, but I ended up with a Motorola logo in bootloop! Now I am really unaware of any other ways on how to resurrect my defy.

Any advice?
