Hi Randomblame, hi all,

2 things I'd like to give you a feedback on:

- battery usage on JellyTime 4.2 (things I faced using R8, R9 and R11),

- roaming/foreign SIM card

Battery usage:

First, I manage to get it stable and last 3-4days without plugging it in (okay mainly in sleep mode, without really using it because I'm in roaming 90% of the time). Easily 2 days when using from time to time 3g, text, calls... It's amazing that it can last so long. :)

But a thing that consumes A LOT the battery is turning on then off geolocation. In the parameters, you can toggle location using GPS or 3G/WIFI.

As soon as I turn on geolocation using 3G/WIFI only, even if 3g and WIFI are both off, it drains the battery in a day, if not in a couple of hours. If you just turn off geolocation from parameters, it doesn't make the battery life better. You need to completely reboot the phone so that the change is taken into account. Then battery life is good again.

Randomblame, I don't know if this affects 4.3 beta ROMs as well, or if it's something you can easily work on. But I hope this work around can at least help people facing battery drains.

Usage abroad:

I'm from country A, but I work in country B. I have SIM cards in both, but mainly use A's one, even when I'm in country B.

Everytime I install the ROM, SIM-A is in the phone. When I'm in country A, the phone acts normally ; when in country B, I am in roaming. So far so good.

But while in country B, if I insert SIM-B, the phone still acts as if I am in roaming (I have to authorize 3g-roaming to use the data connection of SIM-B in country B). It happened a few times when the phone was still running with original HTC's ROM, just a 2nd reboot was solving the problem. But now, many reboots don't change anything.

If somebody knows a trick, thanks in advance. :)

Finally, I'd like to thank Randomblame and all of you for your amazing work!

Would be nice to see 4.4 rom indeed. My DHD just sitting with no use. Would love to test the new version and report the bugs in the process if the rom gets released.
[Desire HD Android Development] iggdawg:
I've moved on to an HTC One as my daily driver, but I still getting a ton of usage out of my Inspire. It's the most *****in' kitchen timer / kitchen internet radio / etc out there. I keep it up to date on XDA avidly. Seeing 4.4 on it would be fantastic. This old device has amazing endurance vs time.

I'd also like to throw in a vote for "BreakTime" as the ROM name, that's pretty awesome.
[Desire HD Android Development] gabrielius12:
Totaly agree. DHD breaks time haha. Such an old phone and we can enjoy the newest stuff

In the US unlocked how much the new Nexus 5 costs? the 64gb one I mean... (not off topic :P )
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
Actually, it is very off topic. The fact that it has Kitkat is a very slim excuse for posting here. However, since you ask, it appears that no 64GB version will be available. 32GB at $399.
[Desire HD Android Development] lordaccess:
Well it's not off topic because I am curious as how accessible it will be to people to see what features we ll miss in DHD... (as to who from this topic will actually buy it) :p but anyway thanks

[Desire HD Android Development] jean019:
Hi,

I have the the last 4.2 R11.

I noticed the screen is flickering with all the new applications like the new Google maps, or Glob (radar alert) for example (I suppose based on new 4.x API).

This is really annoying, I can't use the phone with the last app version anymore.

Do you know if the issue is solved with 4.3, or may one day be solved ?

thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] q:):
Really strange. I have not had that issue. Have you tried to wipe dalvic + cache with a reboot? I find that usually resolves anomalies and all sorts of weird behaviour.
[Desire HD Android Development] paaja:
Screen flickering is related to new Google maps 7.x :(

Odesláno z mého Desire HD pomocí Tapatalk
[Desire HD Android Development] jean019:
yes, did you try Google maps 7 ?

Sh** .... Glob is showing Maps, maybe interaction with the new Maps 7.x. I don't know why, there's no issue on my asus Fonepad, I can't use the DHD in car with the last applications, annoying.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Here's a link for Google Maps 6.14.4 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387122#7 from the Desire HD Q&A thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] jean019:
thanks, I still have it ;) The issue is now I have 2 apps that I can't update anymore, maybe more in few months/weeks ? ...

Does anybody know what is the reason of the flickering ?

[Desire HD Android Development] MidnightJava:
I've heard that it's common on JB ROMs. Not sure if all JB ROMs are doing it, but it's not just JT.

It makes the app unusable. But last I checked, there were also some things missing in Maps 7.x that make it a huge step backward, even without the flickering, plus some changes that made it look better but less usable. The first time I used 7.x after an auto-update, I actually thought my data service was completely hosed.

I'm using 6.4 now, and I unchecked auto-updates in the Play Store for it. Every now and then I have to manually decline an invitation to update to 7.x, and the little trouble I take to do it is very much worth it. I'm a big fan of Google apps, but Maps 7.x is about the worst update to an app I've ever seen by any company on any platform.
[Desire HD Android Development] jean019:
Ok, so nothing to do currently about that.

I already tested Maps 7.0.1 and told about the flickering issue, I hoped it would be now solved but I'm stuck.

Yes for sure Maps 6.4 or the previous Glob app version works well too (I forgot Chrome that is flickering too), maybe more functionality than the current release, but for how long ...

I found really cool my 3 years old DesireHD was up to date, but now with all applications migrating to the last API 4.x design and that flickering issue, it seems to be the beginning of the end :(
[Desire HD Android Development] stealth09:
I wish I hadn't install this rom. It is the worse rom I have ever installed. Many random phone restarts (for example when I was on a long journey yesterday I was using google maps, the phone randomly restarted itself, resulting in me having to pull over and wait), when on a call, lots of screens automatically start such as calender, settings page, cant remember the other one, sometimes the wallpaper changes, setting profiles from the power menu has no affect. This rom is atrocious and has made me hate my phone.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dr. Globbyglob:
What's Glob?
[Desire HD Android Development] rfkw:
Looks like it's only you. Did you install 4.2 or 4.3? Did you do a clean install?
[Desire HD Android Development] jean019:
A community legal application to display traffic and speed cam on a map (radar detector is illegal in France) :

http://g-lob.com/

Here police now have Mobile in-car speed cam, which detects (running on the road) excessive speed from cars passing them or coming in front of them. Two big excessive speed and you loose your driver's license, so it is very... very useful !
[Desire HD Android Development] stealth09:
Yes clean install of 4.2 R11. It's not only me, others have had these problems too, which can be found somewhere in this thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] lordaccess:
Even if there is 1% of people with these issues guess what. It's just you. The ROM works on most of us quite perfectly that why we also donate to Randomblame. Just try a different ROM and you will be ok I guess.
[Desire HD Android Development] MidnightJava:
I've seen some references to random re-starts, but I don't recall anyone reporting the magnitude and frequency of problems you're experiencing. Personally, I've only seen one or two random re-starts in months of using the ROM, even though others report it happening more frequently.

This is a great ROM, and it will be a shame if you're prevented from using it. If you're willing to take the trouble, you may want to try another clean and install. You may also want to see if there's a problem with your proximity sensor that is being amplified by use of this ROM. Some have posted in this thread on proximity sensor problems and possible solutions.
[Desire HD Android Development] Fantassy123:
Got a problem here :P

Everytime it say's Android keyboard (AOSP) has been stopped, it worked fine before with 4.2.2 R11

I tried everything like clearing the cache,data etc..

Now i'm running Jelly time 4.3 Beta 4 without a Keyboard... also my back and menu buttons don't function, i think this is also because of the problem here above.

Also 4.3 gapps link don't work :P
[Desire HD Android Development] q:):
I had the same problem and it was caused by not having the right gapps (i.e. for 4.3).

It doesn't help if you can't download gapps for 4.3 because that needs to be installed straight after installing the 4.3 ROM and before rebooting.

---------- Post added at 07:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

Sorry, I'm actually replying the post below this one quoted. This XDA app is playing up on me.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
My XDA app is playing up to, when I pick a post to quote or thank, it picks the one before, and occasionally there is a post I want to quote that I can't pick at all.

Anyway, this ROM (4.2 R11 and not one of the 4.3 betas) should be very stable for most users. If you are having frequent random reboots make sure and do the following:

1) clean install - wipe cache, system and data

2) install ROM

3) install android 4.2 gapps, the latest are 20130812, not the 20130813 which are for android 4.3

4) fix permissions - not always necessary, but can help and doesn't take long

5) reboot phone and allow it to settle - CPU speed will reduce to minimum

6) install further apps from play store, or archive for fast installation (but make sure they are android 4.2 apps)

7) DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM OR APP DATA

It also helps to be on a new radio.

Setting governor to SmartAssV2, scheduler to SIO and disabling zRam will help in making the phone more responsive without completely draining your battery too quickly.

It'd you still get the odd hot reboot, other users have reported disabling screen off animation helps.

youre welcome. i knew that ota meant over the air update, i was just curious why a rom wasnt listed in the same section
[Desire HD Android Development] Fantassy123:
Thank you for the answer, Just reflashed 4.2.2 R11 since 4.3 didn't work without Gapps 4.3 like you said, i tried other 4.3 Gapps but when i reboot it says Google play Has been stopped etc...

Got to do it again when 4.3 link is restored
[Desire HD Android Development] rfkw:
If you flashed 4.2.2 R11, try flashing gapps 4.2 instead.
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
Observing the speed limits is a much safer way round the problem of speed cams and detectors!
[Desire HD Android Development] Fantassy123:
Why?

I have made a Nandroid backup so i can restore everything back.

Also 4.1,4.2,4.3 Gapps don't work at all.

Edit : Just tried every Goo.im link and all of them don't work.. The link code.google works

Hello....I'm using r11 everything is cool.. But one problem, when I'm calling someone some apps open in background(clock,calendar)...didn't have this problem on ICS and GB ROMs...
[Desire HD Android Development] maxxjaxx:
that's proximity sensor issues
[Desire HD Android Development] Komorias:
Is there any solution? Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] zsohu:
Try proximity calibrator for dhd.
[Desire HD Android Development] howasparty:
No, also with proximity calibrator you'll have that problem, because the screen is not locked while on the phone. At least that's my experience and I've already tried different settings (e.g. 9-11).

This has already been reported by some more users and is the only bug in R11 (and before) but quite annoying.

Though we know, RB has got other things do to, maybe he'll find a fix for it?
[Desire HD Android Development] lordaccess:
So I had this problem with my sports tracker and I found a solution. I just wanted to inform Randomblame about this problem since from what I see it has to do with his R11 4.2.2 ROM.

This is the link to the issue and solution:

Also when you install a ROM you install the radio also? Because before this ROM I had no issue with it. Why now?

http://code.google.com/p/jellytime/issues/detail?id=223
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
That issue was for Android 4.1, but still has some relevance with Android 4.2.

Android JellyBean (4.1 & 4.2) works better with newer radios - GPS locates faster, battery drains slower, WiFi and mobile data work faster, etc. Some users can't get GPS to work at all with older radios.
[Desire HD Android Development] lordaccess:
I am kinda confused with the radio. For example when randomblame makes a new build 4.3 for example will it be fixed? My gps does work but it does so every like 1 minute updates my position. Meaning google maps and foursquare does work but sportstracker apps dont. So shall i flash a new one? or wait for a new android build from randomblame? 4.3 might be soon out of beta.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
My XDA app is playing up again so I can't quote you [MENTION=4867224]lordaccess[/MENTION], but if your GPS location is updating correctly and its stuttering, it seems like you either need to update your radio, or check your antenna contacts.

I'm using the latest radio, and at times I find it can take ages to get a lock even though it maybe sees 10 or more sats. For me the fix is always to check the antenna contacts by squeezing the led lens cover and then turning GPS off for a few seconds then back on again.

[Desire HD Android Development] lordaccess:
Contacts seem to be ok... Will this work? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.zatta.agps or shoul I flash the radio? I never done it before so I am skeptical...
[Desire HD Android Development] imptb:
I had this problem too with the GPS stuttering on R11 but I updated the radio to 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.1_M and that solved the GPS problems for me
[Desire HD Android Development] lordaccess:
Mind sending me a step by step guide? For example I do have S-OF but I heard you need radio S-OFF? Thanks in advance!
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
From my understanding this app will be no good for JellyBean, GPS doesn't use the gps.conf file anymore. Use this app for checking GPS status and updating the A-GPS state https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2.

Here's the link to the Desire HD radio thread, post #3 where the you will find the latest radio http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877295#3 and installation procedure to update the radio.

I understand your sentiment, however RandomBlame is one person and he is busy debugging 4.4. I'm looking forward to 4.4 because of it's smaller memory footprint. (I need mobile data on the go, which is why I'm still using 4.2.2 R11)
