Battery life issue...?

I would like to comment on this, as I have a few devices running either official cm10 or unofficial cm10. There does appear to be something that changed ahead of the merge to the 10.0.0 stable build for cm10 that does appear to be consuming battery life, I haven't had too much of an opportunity to explore this further because I typically am very busy this time of year. I have a sensation 4G, and Blaze (T769), and a KF running CM10. The Blaze developed battery issues upon installation of 10.0.0 - where it was unplugged just after a reboot for 8 hours overnight (no wifi on, gps, etc) and lost 20% battery with phone idle and cell standby accounting for 90+% of the battery consumption. Upon updating to the most current 11-14 nightly the issue seems to have been resolved - as of now 1.5 hrs in standby I am at 98% battery.

I previously was running I believe the 10/27 version for my KF and I had it unplugged, on with the screen off and three days later had 90% battery left. I updated to the most recent 11-12 build yesterday and over the course of about a day my KF completely discharged from 88% battery - sitting untouched and idle with the screen off with the wifi on. Also worth noting I didn't even put any apps on it yet. I did a fresh install wiping everything (system, data, cache, davlik). I plan on going back to a previous build to check battery performance once I have the time :)

I also had to (my wife forced me) go back to a stock themed rom for her sensation last night as she was complaining about battery life for the first time - which she hadn't done since a month ago since I bought her a 1900mah anker battery. She obviously isn't running official cm10 either, but I remember updating her phone to a new unofficial build I think Sunday or Monday this week.

I'm not in any way hating or trying to hate on CM10 or any of the work any dev. There has to have been something that was altered prior to the official stable build 10.0.0 that may be causing increased cpu cycles or an inability to properly deep sleep. I don't know the specifics and probably won't have the time to look into this until after it is already resolved but I wanted to share my observations.

Every Android device I've ever had does this.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
20121114 failed for me. Saw it in goomanager, still not listed in original post. Just curious if it is an isolated incident or if others have an issue? Reflashed 20121112 and everything returned to normal.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Define "failed". It's working fine for me. The build includes intersectRaven's latest kernel changes merged on top of my changes - I just haven't updated the OP yet because

a) I might post a newer build later

b) I didn't notice any difference and for some reason cpu spy reports too much time (at least for my feeling) spent on 300Mhz while the device is off / in deep sleep. But the reason might be as anactoraaron stated above a recent CM change. However, Battery consumption is still the same though - about 1% per hour in deep sleep.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
After flash it would never boot past "booting" screen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Must be a bad download. Check the md5sum.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
Deleted already. Goomanager checks automatically right? That's how I downloaded.

I'll try it again in the morning.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfed:
It took me 3 times for this rom to work when installing. That is the first time I have had trouble. I did a full wipe also.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
Re-downloaded

Dirty flashed

Stuck at fff boot screen again

Did factory reset

Booted fine.

Apparently something in my old apps and data was the issue. Back to previous version via restore for now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] alancai:
you need twrp 2.2
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
Nope. Been installed here for months.

To be clear about my previous post, dirty flash failed, full wipe worked fine. Previous ROM version prior to dirty flash was 20121112-0108. Seems like good time to do a full wipe and try the new Titanium Backup update.zip feature.

Are you positive? I got one a few weeks ago that failed the MD5 and it had message in notification area saying so.

["it" being goo manager]

Actually, that might have been a Jandycane ROM I downloaded and never flashed... can't recall for sure.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Try it, go into GooManager and press "Check for updates". ;)

Not sure what your point is since we browse to this ROM manually, or I do anyway.

I have also faced this issue many times. But its rare.

A reboot will do.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] gg_99:
Has anyone had any issues with their wallpaper disappearing or changing? I've had this happen a few times over the previous days, and it's so random that I've not been able to capture a log. Same thing with my keyboard, which I'd mentioned a few pages back. Sometimes when typing it will simply disappear and it takes a lot of fiddling to get it to return. If I can find a way to reproduce these issues at will I'll provide a log, but thought I'd ask about it in the meantime to see if it's just me. I can always start over again with a full wipe if I need to.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

I'm not currently using my corporate email (a Google Enterprise account), so while I can't confirm it works with the most recent build I can tell you that I've used it with this ROM. I don't think I had to do anything special to make it work, but I'm certain that the configuration will vary depending on many variables related to the account (protocol, SSL, etc., etc.). That may not be especially useful insight, but it *can* work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chewie8han:
I didn't have any email set up on my Kindle (don't really need the family checking my email when I have it on so many other devices). But I was able to just set up my corporate email without a problem. My email uses SSL (accept all SSL certificates is unchecked), and uses port 443. One common problem that we experience here is if you don't put the domain\username and just use username.

I'm running the 20121112 update of this Rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yaibakt:
i just tried your "cm-10-20121114-0025-otter-sgt7-linaro". is there a problem retated to keyboard, or language input or something? i'm trying to make this keyboard to work, but it FCs every time i choose the option 1 of the software. i havent seen this issue on your previous builds.

//even if u dont understand the language, would u mind try it once? just install, run it, and choose the 1 and 2 in queue. if there's no FC, then it's only me... its name is "GoTiengViet 3 Vietnamese input" on google play.

Poor battery life

Running 20121112-0108-Linaro and everything works very well except for battery life. My Kindle used to last weeks on a charge and sleeping. Now when sleeping I barely get 2 days. is this representative of this build or should I be looking for some errant service?

Thx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VaksenDK:
I have also seen this a few rare times. And I am on the AOKP build from SlashDW, so it seems to be something kernelish. We better wait and hope for Hashcode to work his magic. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moktadir:
Third/fourth time experiencing system lag. All animations are choppy, the keyboard is lagging itself as I'm typing this. Doesn't affect simple scrolling, not sure if this is what's killing my Wifi. Appears to be a processor glitch, idk. Softboot has no idea effect. Full reboot fixes. Didn't check the time to see when it started, sorry. (Between, 11:47 and 11:51, too many events to post)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
Just noticed for the first time it is impossible to make status/nav colors match lol. Tried to get everything the same shade of purple. No can do. Battery has no color option, nav only dark, panel is transparent (so unusable) etc.

Doubt anyone else cares but I'm all about my stuff matching as my boyfriend can attest. ;p

My girlfriend has been running this rom on her kindle since I hacked it a while ago. Recently she's been having issues with a media process crashing. I booted into TWRP (v2.3.1.1), and did the following:

1. Wipe Cache

2. Wipe Dalvik

3. Factory Reset

4. Wipe System

5. Install ROM (cm-10-20121114-0025-otter-sgt7-linaro)

6. Install GApps

7. Wipe Cache

8. Wipe Dalvik

9. Reboot

Now I've been looking at the Cyanogen spinning ring for about 20 minutes now... What did I do wrong? I have a feeling it happened with all the wiping.

What do I need to do to truly start fresh?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VileParty:
Unless rom was made compatible with TWRP 2.3.1.1 recently,you should use 2.2.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
Just as a note, I have flashed this ROM with 2.3.1.1 several times without an issue. It's more likely that something was wonky with the zip file or the flash itself. Just reboot, go into TWRP, and do it again. You might also add a fix permissions at the end, though I don't know if that would be all that helpful since you're doing a full wipe/flash vs. dirty flashing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jsylvia007:
So I downgraded to the 2.2.2.1 version of TWRP, and performed a clean install and it worked the first time. Looks like i'm going to stick with that version of TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
No, there are issues with TWRP 2.3.1.1. There is an issue with how 2.3.1.1 wipes /system as far as I know. Many run into issues with the latest version and you can find such posts all over the place.

Use an older version - and this is mentioned in the OP in red letters, people just don't read.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jsylvia007:
Just as an FYI, I did see that in red text, but was unable to find any earlier version linked anywhere. Recommend updating the OP to include the link of version 2.2.2.1. That's why I was hoping I could work around the issues.

All is well now though. I've installed the most recent version of the rom released just an hour ago and all is working well. Now I hope that the media process issue doesn't show up again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
Is it an issue with the factory/system wipes vs cache? Like I said, I've used 2.3.1.1 on several iterations of the rom (the last 4 - 5 I believe) without a hitch. I am however, dirty flashing rather than doing a full wipe.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moktadir:
The logcat I posted is now viewable.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
is the newest version with 4.2 or still 4.1.2?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jsylvia007:
Still 4.1.2
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Ok, I linked to the TWRP 2.2.2.1 zip in the OP. Let's see if posts regarding flash issues with 2.3.1.1 go away now :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jsylvia007:
How does that saying go?? You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force him to use the correct version of the recovery software... Something like that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] portezbie:
I'm a risk taker, been using twrp 2.3 without any problems for a while now.

Also no issues with the latest update so far.

Also no problems with the 4.2 gapps so far.

Love your rom as always!

popping out window really works :) kinda cool to see it on an Android

and speaking of TWRP, afaik all you need to do is check 'use rm-rf instead of format' in the settings and you should have no problem wit it. I've been using it since it came out and i hadnt experienced any problems.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VileParty:
How does this happen?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shahabk818:
Are you guys gonna move to Android 4.2 any time soon?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chewie8han:
Pretty much every ROM builder has said that they're going to go to 4.2.... When it's ready. Quite frankly, that's when I want it. I don't need it sooner with issues rather than later without them. The last that I've heard, they've been having problems with the graphics driver on 4.2. When that's resolved, the new ROMs probably won't be too far be behind.

Sorry, for the rant. I'm just tired of reading in every thread "when are we getting Android 4.2". These builders are doing this on their own time. Just be appreciative that they're doing it at all.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfed:
I agree. I don't know how they have all the time to do Roms. I have a one year old and a demanding job, I would have no time to build even if I could. I will patiently wait for 4.2

Thank developers

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
4.2 will come as soon as CM and SGT7 move to 4.2 and of course Hashcode manages to fix the graphics driver.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moktadir:
I'd rather take what I get and help as much as I can :P I think it's enough that twa has given us something that feels 50x better than what Amazon gave us. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
Umm at least 100x better!

I have a question though. My system seems to have become increasingly glitchy and laggy. I've done several super clean installs but use titanium bu to restore my apps. The reason I rooted in the first place was to get to use lots of apps so I don't plan to stop doing that. So my question is, how do I troubleshoot for what apps might be causing problems? I don't know if I'm willing to reinstall one app at a time and wait for "glitches" since they seem kind of random (fcs of system apps, status bar going dead, weird lags, etc) unless there is something specific to look for. So to make a long question(s) longer, can I look for something in catlog(nothing is jumping out at me)? Is there something to do to tax the system to increase likelihood of glitches after each app is restored? Just reaching here so any suggestions are appreciated and I also understand if I'm ignored since I'm being so vague.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] SpudsterZ:
I had the same problems, with the same scenario (factory resets w/ Titanium restores). Once I downgraded to TWRP 2.2, performed a factory reset then did my usual Titanium thing, all my problems went away.

One thing I tried for troubleshooting was to use aLogcat for checking logs, but it was entirely too far over my head to be of much help. Plus, due to the nature of Android logging, you need to keep aLogcat running WHILE the issue is occurring which, as you discovered, can be challenging for intermittent issues.

I'm using TWRP 2.2 so that is not a fix for me unless it could help to reinstall?

So now reverting back to 20121022.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] SpudsterZ:
I also noticed that yesterday after the upgrade. CPU Spy showed the Kindle was spending almost all of it's time at 300Mhz, even during active use. A reboot seemed to show more deep sleep, but now it's going back to using mostly 300Mhz again. I'll try a factory reset later and see if that clears it up (which generally fixes weird issues like this).

I'm going to post a new build in a little while where I reverted most kernel changes I made recently. I'm just going to leave the CRT-off animation fix in for now and start playing around with kernel changes again once 4.2 is up and running.

I had just flashed:

20121119-1523-Linaro (Alternate download)

I did a cache/davik wipe then flashed it and rebooted. Later on my wife grabbed the kindle... I am glad the Chive was in a folder otherwise I would have had to explain that app and she started looking at pinterest.

Scrolling on an internet page which my wife was on Pinterest she was letting me know that it was not scrolling smoothly.

When I went into the apps in the kindle it was locking up. I went into settings/apps and was trying to uninstall nova launcher and the kindle would freeze up.so I wiped it and re loaded the rom and all is good.

It doesn't look like the zip has changed since 8/3/12. Does your MD5 match the official of 49c3816fbb08a2a16b55e5115eee8ba8?
