Battery - Phone Tweaks

When 4.3 started rolling out battery took a sever hit. However its been improving over time. My NOV 3rd nightly is pretty impressive on the battery.

Battery:

I am also using an app called

Rom Tool Box Pro

and messing with a feature called AUTO Start Manager. You can disable individual start-up items and 'Receivers'

There is another app called All In One Tool Box Free/Pro. This app also allows you to disable Auto Startup 'Receivers'. I believe this feature is available even in a Free Version.

I prefer Rom Tool Box Pro to tweak my bootup time and unnecessary items in the memory to improve over all battery. Most of the items I disable are widgets. I am pretty sure we all have Widgets that we do not use yet we have them. I decided disabling most of them yet keeping them on the system.

It was built before CM even put up their Repositories for 4.4... and then on top of that it doesn't show us anything really. Maybe it's someone at Cyanogenmod?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Yeah, now that they're changing CM management, I wouldn't be surprised of stuff behind the scenes. :p

And you don't have Google Services draining your battery? Are you using Google Now as well? Google Now is fine, but the second I give Google and other applications access to location services, the drain is pretty heavy. I have tried either or as well and still the battery drains pretty decent.

Not sure I understand what you mean by better support? I love the cleanness of CM and as a whole, it runs excellent for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flexfulton:
Leave on location services but turn off location reporting and history. It will be much better in regards to battery drain. Settings can be found in the Google settings app preinstalled on your phone.

My phone has been on for 35 hours without having the battery stats reset and Google Services doesn't even show up in my battery stats list.

The way that they added the widget to the screen is definitely from 4.4 KitKat. I'd say that was a CM insider.

Couldn't that just be the launcher though? I personally haven't tested the launcher but I'm assuming it is.

Edit: It's controversial. Could be a theme or could be CM's launcher.

I have to say I just updated to the latest nightly yesterday from an August nightly that I had been staying on and the newer nightly is definitely a lot more laggy...not as quick and snappy as 4.2.2 :(

Clean install, too.

OK just figured this out. If the bluetooth toggle is on it won't crash. With toggle off it is crashing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loonieryan:
Ditto. Went from an August nightly of CM 10.1 to the latest CM 10.2 nightly and it is certainly laggy. CM 10.1 was very smooth.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pmgnet:
Specifically, Wi-Fi location services takes my phone from under one percent per hour idle to 3 to 4 percent per hour.

Ironically, GPS only location does not create the drain.

Google is doing something funny with the Wi-Fi location services. When they detect it, some process goes ballistic and hammers it regularly. No logging on log cat either about what this is. Probably some cool NSA plugin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheIgster:
That would explain why it didn't crash on me because I always have BT on.

Just wanted to let everyone know I've moved to the Nexus 5, but my nightly archives and KT747 archives will stick around.

RILJ wakelock

I had my first RILJ wakelock issue on CM10.2M1 yesterday. I moved from 10.1 a week ago, and was generally seeing noticeably-better battery life on 10.2.

The only unusual thing that occurred yesterday is that I made/received about 4 phone calls in total during the day. Usually I don't use my phone for calls (I know, weird right? :)) and if I do any calling it's usually at night when I wouldn't notice the increased battery drain.

I don't have any logs to report, I'm just adding to the general info regarding the RILJ wakelock issue. I've always run with all location-related settings enabled, and yesterday is the first time I've ever seen such drastic battery drain due to RILJ.

The ICS modem didn't support that ability. At least, devs in other roms have noted that (agriff of i747z, in particular, I know said it). That said, I was wondering: SHOULD I update to the leaked 4.3 bootloader and modem??? Would it make any difference? Bluetooth is slow to connect, but other than that, I'm digging CM10.2 (except the status bar color). My Google search only found 10.1 ICS statement.

I have a question though.

Im on the latest CM10 and on the OP it shows that its using the correct firmware for the camera, but when i try to tap to focus, it does not focus?

It will not focus by itself either when you open the camera.

Anybody else?

New bluetooth-related issue:

I paired a bluetooth keyboard to the device, and it works great, except it added a notification to my status bar that states "Select a keyboard layout..." and it links me to the Settings page where you select and enable/disable on-screen keyboards. Nothing in that screen relates to physical keyboards. Selecting the notification doesn't dismiss it either, although you can swipe-to-dismiss it. Disconnecting the keyboard, or even disabling bluetooth, doesn't automatically dismiss the notification either.

Device (in case it matters) is a "Freedom Slim Keypad" and yes, I know it's older than Android itself. It has HID mode though, so it works fine, and I never had a problem with it on my Milestone (not that I needed it on a QWERTY phone) or Diamond. I had ICS on my Milestone and never had a notification like that pop up either, maybe this is new to Jellybean?

To be honest, this rom is the only reason I still have this phone. Without CM10, I would have returned it and got a Galaxy Nexus for almost double the price, but now we have stable jelly bean with better hardware specs.

Hey, as far as editing the boot animation, I made a very extensive attempt to port over the jellybean nexus boot animation to the i747, but after I built the zip and put it in its place, I rebooted to a blank screen no animation and then out of now where-- home screen. So not sure what I did wrong, maybe permissions on the zip file. Idk. Anyways, I have the complete file set if you want it to make some magic happen for me.

MMS

I have executed a search for any related MMS issues related to the one I am having, but did not seem to find anything; If I overlooked it it, please accept my apologies.

The issue that I have experienced is that I will send an MMS message (picture message to be specific) and my phone will show the time stamp of when it was "sent." However, I have noticed that many times, it will not actually send until the other person has sent me a picture message in return, or it will just be delayed several days.

Example:

I sent someone a picture on Monday afternoon. They just received it on Wednesday morning. On Wednesday morning, I was attempting to send someone else pictures. Person 2 said the sent me a picture, however, I have yet to receive the picture.

After performing a reboot, nothing seemed to change.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
I find it very sad that there are so many snarky responses to repeated questions. This thread now covers several versions of the preview roms. Yes, there is a OP that has been religiously updated; I am thankful.

Camera issues have been a problem since the beginning, but if you read/follow the thread some have posted various solutions even including dirty installs as 'working'. (let's see, I have to install a custom stock rom and it's updates with two different cwm versions before this one without wiping? :confused: ) It is counter productive to continually chide posted comments without either links or useful response. Even a lmgtfy.com response is more useful. We end up with people who have to apologize-in-advance when they believe that they have a new bug or an old one resurfacing.

I have always believed that these extended threads covering multiple versions of roms make for more confusion than they are worth. A single thread for each version or two (locking the old thread) keeps the information pertinent to the current status of the rom without the thousand posts that don't apply any more that are searchable and no longer pertinent.

It would be a greater benefit to everyone and foster clarity.

I return to lurking.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gtluke:
I agree Stan.

I have a bug, I have no idea if it's been discussed, is there a running list? 162 pages!

If I'm listening to google music on headphones, and I get a notification, the volume goes down like 90%. but when the song is finished and the next song starts, the volume resumes to where it was before.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] malaeum:
I share your sentiment. At the same time it is difficult for the developer to sift through the mounds of muck that inevitably result. I think the proper solution is to effectively train forum members (myself included!) to use the Q&A thread FIRST and then after the folks helping out there go "Huh, this might be a new bug" it can be reported to the development thread. It would be nice if, somehow, the forum could attach a Q&A thread to the development thread, sort of a fork. Maybe requiring a post in the Q&A section first before being granted rights to post in the dev fork... I realize that can cause some issues as well. I'm just brainstorming here.

I've been a noob and made plenty of mistakes myself, still do every day. I'm not trying to sound like some authoritative figure (I'm not), just trying to come up with the most effective solution for everyone. *sigh* I know I will lose, this is the internet. =\

Sorry for the offtopic brainstorming.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RampageRR:
I'd check APN settings first. Also, do you know if you were on wifi when you sent them? AFAIK you need to be on data to send an MMS, try switching wifi off, then sending one.

Did anyone use the CM Installer? In case you did not know, it would flash your phone via USB cable prior to have an installer installed on your Windows PC (not sure if Apple had it too). There was no option to do dirty flash. It had to be a clean flash which I just had it performed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Nope, although I've seen news about it. I don't think it's a bad thing at all for people starting in the world of installing custom roms.

Shameless advertising for a software I like: Personally I use CyanDelta. Downloads only delta files of changes so they're very little (usually around 5mb or even less depending on the amount of changes) so you can even do it on mobile without worrying. It's free and awesome. Only for the nightlies though. :) I think CM team itself should have something similar, considering how many people use the nightlies and need to get the whole thing every damn day.
