I forgot to ask about the battery screenshot i posted 2 pages back .

Link : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33044232&postcount=10933

When i charge through the USB and disconnect after charging , the event does not reflect in battery stats .

So let's say battery stats is showing 10hrs on battery and 20% left .

Then instead of charging through a charger , i charge through connecting usb to my pc all the way to 100% .

The battery stats still continue from 10hrs on battery rather than 0 hrs , difference now being 99% battery left .

So if i always charge through usb , after a couple of days , battery stats will show that my phone is awesomely better in battery department than even the RAZR MAXX !!

Is this behavior normal or a bug ??

previously i have installed complete gapps, now i only want minimal gapps how to remove unwanted gapps and add minimal gapps?? Sorry if its a noob question..

Another issue:

- A magnet is not detected, so the car-dock mode will not be activated :-/

Other (yet reported issues) with custom kernel:

- No deepsleep while charging

- Very slow battery charge

- Upnp not working

Do anyone know if defy supports audio output trough USB charge port (like droid RAZR)?
[Defy Android Development] YaPeL:
Thats like 3% per hour, its a lot, never turning off wi fi should consume less battery, however, battery life under wi fi stills isn't as good as on other roms.
[Defy Android Development] Male_zvire:
I really appreciate the work of Quarx, but i think every new build is worse than previous :crying:

I have Red Lens defy and Quarx's last build from 10/18 and my battery drain is very high (about 1.6%/hour in deep sleep), WiFi & mobile data are very unstable (in older builds works very vell), lag when launching applications,... :(

I doubt that JB can work on Defy perfectly :(
[Defy Android Development] syllogyking:
Myself, and many other people disagree with you. Sure battery life could use some work, but most everything else works flawless. Contrary to your "personal" analysis, each build is in fact better than the previous build. Try looking at things you might be doing wrong/general defects of your own device before making such a negative and generalizing statement.

[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
My defy's been on for 30 hours and I'm still at 40% charge. And it HAS been used regularly.

So no, I wouldn't say battery life has decreased significantly.
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Like syllogyking has said I think that is only three options here -

1. Make your own rom

2. Buy a better phone like you said JB is not meant for defy which it isn't

3. Return to stock and have fun with ****ty buggy moto stock :p

We are always going to have downsides it's a compromise we have for not running ****ty moto software that was made for our hardware but what we get is great new experiences thanks to the devs that moto will never give us. You have to look at the upsides.....

My screen do switch off after I wake it with power button. do you have any apps installed that use screen.

Sorry about the battery talk. That was not related to your issue, but more the people saying battery usage have gotten worse. In my experience so far this build is the best of the custom kernels so far.incl decent battery life
[Defy Android Development] SpookyAwol:
10/18 Battery just fine here :)

Has anyone noticed, that the green LED stays lit after mains charging is removed?

Mine stays lit and the battery icon shows its still charging when disconnected. It only goes away after a reboot
[Defy Android Development] nikhil.t:
me too facing data dropout issues...

Hope Quarx can fix it in the next build :)

---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 AM ----------

Dont think this is a common problem... but this looks like it cld be an issue with the mini usb port... did you ever notice this with the last build?
[Defy Android Development] matiasrey:
Good battery life

I don´t know if you guys did something wrong with your installation or your battery is getting old, but i just had almost two days of battery, which is more or less the same I had on CM7 (I´m too lazy to take a screenshot). Never performed any benchmarks, i belive they´re useless.

My setup is like this:

-Defy red lense, clean install from scratch, flashing my stock sbf (Claro LATAM).

-1 year and a half old battery.

-Lastest build (18/10).

-Boosted governor, 300/17 600/32 800/42 1100/57

-KMS on, Purge of assets off, zRAM 10%, 16-bit transparency on.

-WIFI on most of the time (lest´s say around 80%), except for 2G/3G when I wasn´t home.

-Minimal gapps, in case it makes a difference.

-Sync always on.

Just some normal usage, a few calls, some browsing, whatsapp, e-mail, facebook and such. Deepsleeps just fine, BTW.

PS: I don´t have any of the weird bugs everyone is posting here. :confused: No lags, no data drops, no wifi drops, perfect deepsleep, no reboots, no bootlooops or anything. USB Tether and Wifi Tether working perfect too.

[Defy Android Development] elyashiv1994:
in the last week my phone consume battery fo nothing...

for 25 hours i dont touch it and nothing was turn on....(airplane mode was off)

and i lost 75% battery...the procces "phone not active"(or something like that) take all the battery....

wipe battery stats will help?(need to reinstall the rom or just do wipe dalvik/cache?)

thanks!
[Defy Android Development] SpookyAwol:
No, its a new issue with this build - but if its not common, it could be a new hardware issue

whenever i tried rebooting my phone.. after the motorola logo its stuck with red led and that's it.. even-though i tried waiting for like 10mins.

i need to take out the batteries and re-insert it back again to boot properly.. whats the proper way to reboot?
[Defy Android Development] slimshady76:
I'm on a Claro Defy+ and my experiencie has been the same as yours with the latest build. I get pretty decent battery time using the phone regularly and no improper or incovenient lags.

However, it looks like most of the issues were reported by users with MB525/SOC phones...
[Defy Android Development] EdwardN:
Finally took the plunge and installed 10/18 on my green lens 525. Here's hoping all goes well. Sitting at "Finishing boot" now...

Thanks to Quarx for his efforts.

As an aside, posts that express a user's sometimes negative experience don't require anyone replying that "they did it wrong". There's multiple variables to account with, 525 red/green and 526, different batteries for each, some people using aftermarket batteries, some having hundreds of discharge/recharge cycles, different bootloader versions, different apps and configuration settings.

There is no universal experience on Android. Describing in detail what you think might be a problem is a good way to have others either test and confirm, or test and avoid the same issue, but maybe narrow down what the difference is.

I would suggest that everyone include AT LEAST their base SBF, red/green 525/526, and currently installed nightly with any bug reports.
[Defy Android Development] shamo42:
Did someone manage to disable HWA for some apps?

The HwaSettings.apk for ICS doesn't seem to have any effect in JB.
[Defy Android Development] n0_alterNative__:
With which nightly you can't pick up calls ?
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
No, it's a rule of CyanogenMod :p

Same here, calling works both out and in for me... On both of the latest nightlies... Have no idea why it happens to some people :-/ I guess we would all get the same if we all used the same base sbf with the same kernel and took the exact same steps to install a ROM... Anything else, and BOOM! Only God knows what you can expect :D
[Defy Android Development] Gafanhotz:

Bugs that I found

WiFi take much time to connect (seems unstable)

Tethering of course

capacitive buttons backlight dont work

google now don't speak

I have 2 gallery apps WTF

If you lock the phone while playing music on google play music the phone take ages to unlock. (apolo take less time to unlock but still happen)

Boot animation is laggy (not really a bug, I dont care)

Impressions:

Project Butter is very noticeable on Browser and some apps.

Google Now is really cool, but I think if there is no way to make voice TSS work it's just a pretty voice search. I hope Quarx figure out how to fix this.

Very nice animations (there is any way to have this on ICS?)

I can receive calls fine, but I'll go back to ICS this time as I really like music and wifi is not so stable.

Quarx your work is impressive, I really believe you can fix these things and I hope you can make tethering work.

By the way, I did a full wipe and don't noticed other issues.

MB526 Defy+ 19/07 build
[Defy Android Development] kelvinmorcillo:
New build on defy green lenses:

Working audio with any player

Google now have voice now

Battery running a bit too fast (maybe cause I dont installed juice defender as I used to, or HWA settings)

Button back lights bug as everyone

No bug at receiving calls at all

Missing long press back to kill app :(

About 130 mb of free ram (gets a bit better with super charge script)

Using as everyday rom definitely.

[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
DID YOU flash Google Apps too?

no, you didn't.

with cm10 rom + gapps, system partition on defy gets full.

don't suggest me to wipe data..

i know wipe data wouldn't affect system partition.

my temporary solution is deleting some unnecesary app from system, like Google Plus, live wallpaper etc..

god..

340 MB system partition is no longer fit for JB build..

DEFY SPECS:

SYSTEM PARTITION: 340 MB

DATA PARTITION: 1.33 GB

additional apps (from market or external apk installation) and its settings is stored on Data partition..

soo.. wipe data definetely is not the solution..

maybe we should list what app in the rom / google apps which unnecesary and safe to delete..

or maybe creating a shrinked mini version of CM10.

Rule 1: Don't ask for eta! ;)
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
guys..

please search my previous post..

i create a flashable zip to fix it.

it just because the rom has camera+gallery app (camera and gallery is now integrared)..

and google apps you are using has it too..

and both of them has different apk name, and different build name.

so when you guys flashing that google apps, it won't replace, but will double instead.

Did you you start from wipe because on my green lens 1gig free on internal storage and no double up of apps with latest apps
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
ok, here is...flash normally. Recommended but not necessary, wipe cache/dalvik before.
[Defy Android Development] syllogyking:
I'm guessing your comment was directed at me. I made my previous remarks mainly because of Male_zvire's generalizing statements. The overwhelming majority of users of Quarx' latest build have been content with it (sans battery life). His wifi/data issues can be due to a host of things, I agree, but shouldn't be attributed to this build because many other people haven't been able to replicate it. Lag when launching applications..again can be due to his general setup config.

All in all, I was mainly upset because he was a) generalizing and b) should be posting in the support thread. I meant no personal attacks :good:

@espaciosalter20: screen is black and red led remains on after flashing. can't boot. wiped both caches.

Kernel by me that works...

[Defy Android Development] EdwardN:
I wasn't directing it at anyone in particular. Your remarks may have been more recent than others, but there's been a fair number in this thread. I also addressed being specific in problem reports. Criticism is good, as long as it's constructive.

I was hoping that the issue with Netflix would be resolved with this new build, but unfortunately, it still just locks up on opening, pegs cpu at 100%, and requires force closing.

Also, green lens defy are locked at 300MHz cpu until the 4th cpu setting in the bootmenu is changed from 1100 to 1000, which is a pretty major issue for lag/launching apps.
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Thank you! But, before I flash it, would you mind elaborating a little bit how much it differs from QKernel? Besides, the file has no extension....
[Defy Android Development] super noob bros:

[Defy Android Development] defim:
How did you compile the kernel? I'm interested in compiling by my own
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
its not flashable replace it in /bootmenu/2nd-boot/

It was compiled from Quarx Repo with new commits

So it has latest patches...
[Defy Android Development] defim:
Only clone & make?
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
For setting up ubuntu, i have based on this.

For the compiling part, basically, i have used this thread.

Use arm-eabi-4.4.3 toolchain as cross compiler.... you can get it here.

The final result, after a succesful compile, is in /arch/arm/boot/ called zImage... That's the kernel. After that, you can make a cwm zip or replace it using adb.
[Defy Android Development] bhupatib:
Working fine here. Just wipe dalvic/cache. Or better open the 1018 zip and copy zlmage to \system\2ndboot and you've almost-1019 :)
