I have an aftermarket 1900 maH and it is a little bit better, plus it came with a wall charger so I can always have a battery ready to go on there. The best thing I've done to save my battery is use Titanium Backup Pro, you can create a widget that freezes, thaws and opens applications. So I keep Maps and Hotmail (I only use Hotmail for my work email) Frozen unless I need them. Those two were causing a ton of Alarms in Better Battery Stats and I have noticed a huge difference since disabling them.

Not to be annoying but can someone with Tmobile and working MMS post a screen shot of their API? Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Maelfus:
My battery is fine, but at 30%it just died then showed 3% when I turned it back on. Going to wipe battery stats today and try it for another couple days.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kenypowa:
The OEM battery is terrible, and almost ruined the phone. I have 3 anker batteries (they were on sale) and couldn't be happier.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
Anker it was I use also, I think they're great.
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
The battery here is the same as for Sensation though. I have the OEM battery and it lasts almost 2 days with moderate use. I've recently bought an "OEM" battery at $8, it's crap, hardly lasts a day. My old one (which came with phone) works twice as long.

There are lots of "OEM" batteries sold at $8-10, but the real OEM battery won't cost just $10, least twice more.

Did not notice however any battery drain here, same as in any other ROM.

I've got a thread on MMS in 'general', related to using it with wifi calling...

For T-Mobile USA (not Straight/Smart/Simple/whatever):

1) ERASE all APNs that are not for your carrier (eg, it should just be 'T-Mobile Data')

2) SELECT the T-mobile US APN, so it's got a blue-dot next to it.

3) Use these settings (case-sensitive):

Items in RED are things that are wrong in the default APN configuration.

Thanks man,

I'll try those settings tonight.

Get an anker! i was going to tell you to email their US support ebay account but discovered you no longer have to do a back way deal to get it shipped to canada as they now have a amazon.ca store! http://www.amazon.ca/Anker-1900mAh-...ch/dp/B0053EZJMC/ref=?ie=UTF8&m=AREE309N4XPXI

i got two and an external charger http://www.amazon.ca/Anker-Multi-Pu...AREE309N4XPXI&qid=1354229661&s=generic&sr=1-4 and some mini USB wall charger plugs for super cheap that i leave everywhere, 1 at office 1 next to desk, 1 at girlfriends place, 1 at the hackerspace, 1 in backpack.

*sorry for the off topic*
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
hipri is what I was missing, mms works now. Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
I can vouch for this, Amazon has some great deals on Anker and other aftermarket batteries, though it can be a bit tedious to search through them all and find the best deals. I got a 2450mAh Sensation battery for six dollars! But I would highly recommend the Anker ones as other brands might not work so well.

Anyway, back to topic.... I'm gonna try the DSP Manager fix that someone suggested. I always removed DSP Manager as I didn't care to figure out how to use it, but I noticed that not only are sounds distorted, but phone calls, on speaker, are NOT loud enough to hear. It is barely louder than having it up to my ear. So i guess DSP Manager might fix that.

And I found another glitch of sorts... I think someone might have mentioned this already, but I noticed the proximity sensor's a bit wonky. I actually managed to press a bunch of numbers when I held the phone close to my ear.

Anyway, I saw that Sport was posting some updates on the WiFi. I was wondering if there was a way to share my laptop's internet connection via USB or Bluetooth with my phone in the mean time? I'm trying to update some apps and my data connection's been throttled to the point where it's barely connecting.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
So I just came up with a thought. If I download an older build that has wifi but does not have data, how can I apply the multitouch and signal display fixes? Sorry I'm a newb when it comes to these things .___.

Anyone having a problem. With visual voicemail not working and 1 not dialing VM saying its not set up.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ST4321:
For 1 to dial voice mail, you have to setup the VM number under phone settings.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
There's no assurance that carrier apps like visual voicemail will ever work... Same applies to WiFi calling...

Voicemail defaults are a buildprop thing... You can always call your mobile number with your phone, which will do the same thing as press-1.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rfunderburk39:
Thanks, my APN had numerous errors, and would randomly send out my properly mms (25% of my mms). It was automatically setup for T-Mobile.
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
Just pick "My Carier" (T-Mobile VM settings stored on sim-card) in the Settings/Call/Voicemail service and it's done.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
That didn't work for me. Fortunately it's easy to remember: 805-MESSAGE.

I need testers for an 1130 build that will be on goo in a matter of minutes i fixed a typo in the init so wi-fi *should* work so please try it out and report back i would try it myself but i haven't gotten a good night of sleep all week
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
ill test it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Maelfus:
I'll flash it when I get home. I assume this has the bt and signal fixes in?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
The signal fix does not actual work but BT is working
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
I got a forbidden page when trying to download
[HTC Amaze 4G] Maelfus:
Mine started but failed and I get 403 now

it's wasn't fully uploaded. But it's up now
[HTC Amaze 4G] Migwickert:
I'm game to test.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dntipwn:
Ill test it. Im downloading now ill flash and report back.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Yeah it's working now, thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Downloading now. I'm literally jumping up and down from excitement!
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
Rebooting now. install finished. fingers crossed mates
[HTC Amaze 4G] defmute:
What exactly is the signal fix issue? Astetics or functionality?

Is that the signal bars don't display, or is this something with the actual signal?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Migwickert:
Installed, wifi still is a no go. At least for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
the signal fix worked for me.... hmm weird. im gonna try again tomorrow
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
wifi is not working. Its stuck on that "Turning Wi-Fi on" screen. :(

Does anyone know how to apply intervigils multitouch fix????????
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
it should have been applied to the new rom.

and its a source code edit so there really wouldnt be a way to add it to a pre baked rom
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Same here no wifi
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
Oh i see... I just want to apply that fix to an older build, possibly the 920 build, because I need wifi more than data :/
[HTC Amaze 4G] Maelfus:
Make sure you guys are doing a full wipe of system/cache etc before flashing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GRIDSpawn:
Wifi doesn't work but Bluetooth work and also Bluetooth tethering =D
[HTC Amaze 4G] dntipwn:
Same here no wifi wiped data/factory reset then wiped dalvik and cache and then wiped system and installed let it sit for 5 the rebooted and no wifi it just trys to turn on but does nothing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
Just flashed:

1. BT works fully (music + phone calls) - no echo!!!

2. Wi-Fi is not turning on. - perhaps something wrong in build.prop

3. USB mount still sees only internal card.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
No Wi-Fi still? Fsck!
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
I have a question,

of the builds on Goo.im, is wifi working on any of the November builds?

[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
No.

0918 is the most recent 'stable' pre-data-fix build with WiFi.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dntipwn:
is it possible to just insert the 0918 wifi folder in etc to the current one? wondering if that would help with the wifi
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
it doesnt quite work that way for the current wifi problem.... its a little bit deeper than that.

but have no fear sportsstar, intervigil, and dcacklam are genius's. im sure it wont be too long before they stumble across the fix
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
Alas, we will have to wait a bit longer :3
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
Least BT works, and knowing that wi-fi fix worked for Sports before he compiled an new build, I think very soon we'll see the RC version!
[HTC Amaze 4G] dntipwn:
It also seems to be missing a wifi module that could be the cause or at least part
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
So WiFi gets stuck in that "turning on WiFi" thing still? Damn.
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
Nope, firstly it says "turning on", after a while, it goes back and stays like never tried to be turned on
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Flashed.

Problems:

1) You are still missing some wifi modules

lib80211.ko, librasdioif.ko

compat.ko is for compat-wifi, and although it loads, it seems it is not being used.

On *OLD* kernel, you had to load wl12xx before wl12xx_sdio or there would be no wifi interface - and those 2 libs were not used...

On this kernel, there just isn't a wifi interface loading order be damned... The TI WLAN driver seems to be more trouble than it's worth.

2) libwvm.so is still missing from /system/lib/

3) USB Mass storage for sd-ext borked due to LUN file 'not found' issue

4) ADB still doesn't work, even though I enable it (works on 918)

5) Even with wlan0 in place, the Android UI for enabling wifi is still disabled.

You can toggle the wifi icon in the status-pulldown, but the System Settings -> WiFi toggle is still greyed out, and the System-Settings -> Wifi Menu -> Wifi Toggle (while NOT greyed out) does not stay at 'on')

6) It would be easier to debug stuff like this, if the init chain were changed to put most of the initscripts in /system/etc, instead of in the SON-protected /

Similar to what a normal *NIX system would do... But that's HTC (for the bastardized S-ON but unlocked boot) & Google's (for not following Linux/unix 'conventions' for the low-level filesystem on android) doing - thus trapping the inits in an un-editable partition, that is flashed from a non-standard image format....

7) It appears that the TI-provided TI WLAN driver is seriously, seriously SCREWED - if missing modules don't fix it.

Specifically, wl12xx_sdio.ko should have a dependancy on wl12xx.ko

However, they are NOT dependent.

running 'depmod' gives me this modules.dep for the *old* modules:

and THIS one for the NEW (with TI driver) modules:

So there is a serious fault in this new driver, that is making a worthless-but-present wl12xx_sdio.ko (no dependencies on ANYTHING at all, even obvious modules that are there)....

There is the possibility that a missing module might change that, however the old depmod *has* lib80211 and it does not depend on anything else in the stack.

(as a sidenote, if we do a depmod on the modules-tree prior to packing (so that modules.dep, modules.alias, and so on are in /system/lib/modules), we can use modprobe instead of insmod, and get rid of those pesky out-of-order-module-loading bugs - PRESUMING that /system gets mounted before module-installing starts, vs having the modules in boot.img)

At this point, it would probably be easiest to combine the latest build (with all the other fixes) with the zimage and modules from the 0918 build (eg, generate a boot.img that has the 1130 root-filesystem/initrd paired with the kernel and modules from 0918).

It's inelegant, and I know you guys want to get the source that TI gave us merged... But we *had* a kernel build with working wifi and data at the kernel level...

But it would create a semiusable build, and allow folks to start using wifi (and with it, allow access to the linux-shell from SSHd, making the broken adb moot) while you guys fix the new kernel...
[HTC Amaze 4G] dntipwn:
Is it fairly easy to do add the module? I tried to just unzip new and old cm10 and the replace files and then rezip and ya i new at this and it didnt work. And once its added how hard is it to load the module
[HTC Amaze 4G] eShrooms:
The fact that we have intelligent people dedicating to further this project makes me happy. I was thinking about getting a Note 2 but I just can't abandon this device. So much potential with Jellybean. Cannot wait to have a flawless CM Rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Maelfus:
It couldn't be something as simple as this could it?

#
# TI WLAN driver
#
# CONFIG_TIWLAN_SDIO is not set

in ruby_defconfig

Edit: after reading further that's likely not the cause, but a symptom. I wish I new more about building kernels.
[HTC Amaze 4G] alobear:
the multi-touch is still a little buggy, but I can live with it. got better, and using Swype keyboard with it isn't as bad.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
No, it's not like that...

They changed the kernel they are using, when they did the latest build...

The old modules are binary-incompatible with the new kernel.

The old boot.img-and-modules combination does not allow data, even when used with the new rom.

Editing a boot.img is Squick-yeuck-nasty stuff (compared to just changing things in '/boot' and '/boot/grub2/grub.conf' on a full-scale linux machine), thanks to how Google decided to implement the linux-layer of Android...

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

Maybe/maybe-not...

I am thinking that if 'that' was 'it' then there would be no wl12xx_sdio.ko

However, I do not know for-sure as I've only built kernels for x86/x64 'normal' linux, not for android-arm-mutantlinux. I don't know if that is the file used to do the kernel build, or merely the defaults for the kernel-sources.... Usually the actual kernel configuration used in the build (For normal linux) is stored in .config

That could easily explain why wl12xx_sdio.ko is a hollow shell of a module with nothing in it...

(BTW, Sport... Might want to make sure that is enabled for your next kernel build with the TI drivers)
[HTC Amaze 4G] headsupsevenup:
Has anyone tried to Fix Permissions to fix the wifi not turning on?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Yes. No effect

It is a kernel-level/linux-drivers issue, related to using the TI-provided WLAN drivers & said drivers not working.

The 0918 build used the pre-TI driver, for all I can tell... A different driver, different kernel, and so on...

The wlan0 interface does not exist, because the drivers are borked.

I suspect the fault is in the module wl12xx_sdio.ko.

To contrast, the DATA not working was NOT Linux-level, THAT was in Android.

SO, it should be theoretically possible to do a build with the 0918 kernel, but the current Android... And it should work... If Sport still has the kernel sources from that 'era' vs the new, modified ones...
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
OK I will go back to the stock rebuilt drivers temperarily until I can get this straightened out
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
I was gonna go to bed soon, but now I can't sleep knowing you're compiling another build, lol. Not that I don't stay up all night anyway, I'm a graveyard worker.
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Oh' now I get it ......that's why you are known as the "Undead" :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, pretty much. I dunno where the squirrel part came from, just a random idea at the time of registration.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Updates from 'in signal'

'Signal Fix' does not work, however the RealSignal app DOES work...

So there is a valid source of signal data, it's just not being read or processed properly by the Android signal-indicator.

ETA: RealSignal displays signal based on dbm and converts it to bars. I know some CM builds are displaying raw-DBM in the status-bar, so a DBM-based signal-meter should be possible.

Also, it seems that the signal-bar under Sense bases it's display off the VOICE signal, whereas the default behavior for the CM/AOSP signal bar is to try and read (3G/HSPA/ETC) signal, not GSM signal....
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yes there some heavy debugging to do when I get home I'll get it working I know I have the kernel sources laying around somewhere
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
The signal bars are broken? I never noticed.

How goes the WiFi?
[HTC Amaze 4G] rikishef:
Get some sleep, its catching up to you :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Did ziggy say he got the signal bars to work on his build?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
My signal bars worked....WiFi didnt, and no Google Play store, then I remembered somewhere in the deep dark recesses of this post someone said to install that seperatley LOL. Had to get some work done so switched to my back up. From what I saw only the WiFi was not working smooth. BT work with my headset but didnt test it in my car yet. Thats the real test.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
WiFi is still borked

So are my signal bars... it's the same 'bug' as with SpeedRom....

RealSignal works just fine....
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, that's an understatement....
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
I pulled the android_kernel_htc_msm8660 repo from github...

Refreshingly, it appears that Google did not completely bork Linux - the kernel build process is still the same as for desktop linux (besides the steps needed to enable cross-arch compiling)... Which means that as long as I've got the same sources Sport has been using, I should be able to build binary-compatible modules...

I've made some changes to the kernel config, and I'm trying to rebuild the modules for the 1130 build, to see if I can get a set that will raise wifi...

There is a chance that whoever decided to dig through the defconfig_ruby may have found our wl12xx_sdio 'issue'...

Compiling kernel now (so I can do a make modules and thus compile the modules)

If this works, I'll post a zip with the good modules, that hopefully someone can turn into a 4EXT flashable patch...

Here's to hoping....
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Right on! Good job!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Dcacklam..... You are Amazing! And thank you.

Any chance that some of this will help for any sense roms?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
While building the kernel:

Compile error in arch/arm/mach-msm/board-ruby-wifi.c

- Turns out it was declared, but someone commented it out...

Uncommented that declaration... But that error may have borked stuff in the actual kernel image... Which may be a problem we can't fix with modules....

Rebuilt kernel, no compiler errors (just warnings... Oh-well)

Now making modules... No errors there so far....

Modules make complete...

Time to test what I made...

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Nope...

Sense is a whole nother beastie - and wifi works there... I am a network engineer/sys-admin, and my work here has basically consisted of treating Android as one huge, badly-behaved UNIX app... Eg: 'If Android were a screwed up install of Apache or BIND, what would I do?'

Sense is also a different kernel codebase....
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
This is for AOSP, which is an entirely different animal than Sense. Sense is Android plus all of Sense's grubby little fingers in every slice of Android pie, ie, a diseased tree deeply rooted in the soil that is Android.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
LMAO!
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Modules installed, phone rebooted..

Good news: I have the right sources. The modules install.

Bad news: wl12xx_sdio.ko still does not associate with the other modules...

Next thing to try: Figure out how to replace the zImage portion of boot.img, to see if fixing that extern does any good.

Or just wait for Sport to roll the old kernel back out...
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Glad to see you're working on this. Sport can use all the help he can get.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Thanks to the wonderful 'Android-Kitchen' tool, I have been able to slice the kernel we know works (from 0918) off of the 0918 boot img, and am grafting it onto the 1130 root-filesystem.

Combined with the 0918 modules, this may get us wifi at linux-level...

if not, I will try *my* kernel that I built using Sport's github repo...

[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Here's my update:

1) 1130 'TIWLAN' kernel has data but no wifi

2) My 'rebuild' of the 1130 TIWLAN kernel (with all possible modules) has data but no wifi

2) 0918 kernel + 1130 root filesystem has wifi in linux, but not in android, and no data.

I have 2 more theories to try:

A) 918 kernel and let it sit, see if it finds data... if so swap Settings.APK and hope we get wlan back....

ADB is working for me here at work - but not at home... Must be a windows thing, not a bug...

B) newkernel and symlinks to create a proper '/etc, /lib, /bin' filesystem, hoping the no-wifi thing is because the module can't find the firmware file

my build is almost done, ill try it out and let you guys know if the signal fix works on my end. it worked yesterday when i cooked up a cm10 rom
