Comparison battery usage 2G and 3G (quarkx 09-11)

To followup my own post with screenshots of my battery use and my settings.

My general settings:

Bluetooth always on

Wifi switches off from 23:00 to 06:00 using EasyProfiles.

EasyProfiles is always running to check for BT connection with carkit so it can start a Cardock or music player when it detects my BT headset.

Push e-mail for Gmail on.

Push e-mail for Lotus Notes Traveler (work e-mail) on during the day.

Advanced Wifi setting: Keep Wifi on during sleep: Never

Network notification open networks: off

Processor CPU govenor: boosted (don't know anymore if this is the default, I intend to use the default)

HWA off for all applications except Android system

Zram: disabled

No apps installed (I believe) that need constant network connectivity

Attachment Defy+, 3G on

The first part is 3G when in the car and at home

About 3 percent battery decrease during the night

I started that day with baseband SE Asia, 3.4.3-331 as I read a tip that it might help for my 3g problems at work. It didn't as the phone rebooted (red bar on mobile signal). Switched back to the default for my location Central Europe 3.4.x.

I hardly used my phone that day but the battery usage was high.

The GPS time is when Mytracks was running during my bicycle ride of 23 km to/from work, about an hour.

There is a big difference in battery drop with 3G between home and at work. Usage did not differ that much.

Attachment Defy+, 2G only (12 hours extra with more usage)

5 percent battery decrease during the night

With the phone set to 2G only battery usage is much less. On both days I had more phone calls than on the 3G day.

Again the GPS time is running Mytracks for about an hour going to and from work.

Very good battery usage!! I keep my Defy at 2G and switch to 3G when I need the extra speed.

Of course: Your milage will vary!

I would like to figure out which SBF version was originally installed on my phone, because it seems to be safe to have it on a piece of paper in case one of these 2ndboot builds messes up things.

I came from stock to 7.2 quarx, then cm10 quarx's 2nd boot 4.1.2 roms.

I've never flased and sbf so far, is there a way to tell what was its original stock version?
[Defy General] corrinti:
No

But most important is to know your BL version to find proper sbf for you

Check OP of this thread for the app checking BL version.

Other, not elegant :D way to do it is flashing sbfs from lower to higher version and finding which one will not give you bootloader error and boot up successfully.

Also in

some cases

it can be found out with good probability from the owner info:

- what was your stock system? Froyo or GB

- defy red, green or plus?

- what country are you from?

- was your stock ROM branded by any provider? if so then which one?

Won't boot

Just installed 11.17 2ndboot defy(+) build.

Installed fine, but now the phone is booting and it won't get past the red Motorola logo.

The phone isn't even getting to the blue LED, so I can't even access the bootmenu.

I'm just going to leave the phone for 10 minutes, see if anything changes.

Anyone else getting a problem like this?

Do you mean the phone in bootloader mode? I can't get access to the bootloader in the phone.

If you mean the RSD application, I don't know how you do that.

[Defy General] K3n H1mur4:
This. It's better to start with the phone not connected (you'll see the message "connect USB data cable" or something like that), then plug it on the computer (the phone will show something like "usb connected"). RSDLite shall recognize it now. If it still doesn't (even with the phone saying it's connected), check device manager on windows (start menu > devices and printers > right click > device manager - "devices and printers" can be acessed through classical control panel if you're running win8) to see if the device started correctly (it'll show a exclamation mark next to the device icon if it doesn't start properly). If it didn't start, unplug and plug it back until it starts, its some driver-related problem, the device doesn't always start as it should.

M using defy green lens.. And I m on 17/11 build.. Do I have to wipe data to get on to 18/11 build?? Or can I just wipe cache nd dalvik. And can anyone tell me what is ext 3 and ext4.??

Thanks in advance.

Sent from my Nexus 4. :D
[Defy General] Sleepy!:
You don't have to wipe data, but before you flash 18.11, BACKUP data, as the new zip seems to wipe data.

Not sure about this, but if you backup data and then restore it, you'll have no problems.

ext3 and ext4 are file system formats. ext4 is faster, but some people reported errors with ext4 in old builds. Not in new ones thoough.

Procedure:

Go to recovery'

Backup data.

Wipe cache+dalvik.

Install 18.11 and gapps.

Wipe cache and dalvik.

Go to bootmenu.

Select tools.

Go to file system tools.

Select Format Data and Cache to Ext4.

(Now this wipes your data. Good thing you made a backup)

After this gets done, it takes you to the main screen of the bootmenu.

From here, go to recovery, restore data and have fun!

At times, recovery generates corrupt backups. So i also use Titanium Backup as a fallback option.

Am I the only one who has a problem charging the battery to 100%. It only charges up to 50%. Defy green lens and 2boot Quarx builds.

The last was 18/11 build. In recovery console the battery level reads 100%. I wiped battery stats. No change.

Data wiping? Proximity sensor issue.

Are you sure about the wiping of data on build dated 18 November? Please help me with the source of this information.

I upgraded to 17 November from last month's build and the only difference I could notice is that there is a new File Manager.

I was hoping that the proximity sensor would start behaving itself again, just like the September build (and also like CM 7.1). Unfortunately that did not happen to me.

I am surprised that not many are facing this issue. I am sure that there is no hardware issue. I have to press the left top corner of the phone to get the screen back on while a call is in progress.

Isn't there a way to change the sensitivity of the proximity sensor via software?
[Defy General] corrinti:
If you read the steps given by krushnam you will see that data wipe is when you format from ext3 to ext4 - you don't have to do it

recovery sd mount problem

I already posted this in dev section and some other users confirmed this issue. From the 17/11 build I cannot mount the sd in recovery. This is really nasty, cause I can't downgrade or upgrade any build. Suggestions, a pasrt from flashing SBF? Manual mount does'n work and I didn't change the ext3 to 4. Thanks in advance.
[Defy General] pochopsp:
Guys since i have a broken proximity sensor there is a way to make it works like in froyo? I mean that the screen goes off as soon i make a call but i can unlock it when i need to insert some numbers.

Thanks in advance
[Defy General] rubjonny:
if you have to press the screen to get the sensor to work then you have a hardware issue, I had the same thing. it turned out the screen had become unglued from the frame due to it being a cheap chinese screen with bad quality glue. I fitted a genuine screen and the problem was solved.

You can also damage the sensor if you install a different speaker and dont bend the tabs fully flat, this puts pressure on the top of the screen. another fix is to try loosening off the top right screw under the battery cover, if overtightened this can also make the proximity sensor malfunction (there is a youtube video of this one)

edit: the speaker problem and the bad glue combined on mine, because the springs were under too much tension it pushed harder on the screen, then the glue gave up

Quarx's Nov 18 build is very close to perfect. The only issue for me is the mobile data connectivity.

Does anyone know if SlugZero's fix is still present in this build? It seems the change to the 2nd boot builds is when the data drops came back, it would be really cool if this was fixed.

BL4 ??? 2nd_boot ready ?

Hi,

I'm trying to discover if I can use new 2nd_boot quarx2k roms without problems:

Model: mb525 (red lens)

Operator: Vivo

Country: Brazil

Kernel: 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8 vfcj78@zch68lnxdroid50

Original sbf: JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B15VIVBRLA019.0R_JORLAFROVIVBRLA_P012_A012_M002_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz

(from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php)

This sbf runs froyo 2.2.1

Right now I'm using quarxk build (24/09)

I try to discover what bootloader version I have (reading many sources), and I believe that is 4. Is that correct ?

Could I install 2nd_boot builds via CWM recovery?

Charging Problems (caused by ext4?)

I am on build form 18nov and just wanted to know what its all about this ext4-filesystem-thingy. So heres what i did:

(Post#1121)

Rebooted--> everything worked fine, then sudden reboot. Some minutes l8r i wanted to charge, but my phone doesn't always recognize my charger (no matter whether phone's turned on/off) and since i havn't moved it since i last used it, i dont think its related to the charger.. It just charges for some seconds and then stops (White LED on, few seconds --> White LED off..)

what i wanted to ask, is it useful to do as said above? May my charging problem be related to formating data/cache to ext4?

[Defy General] Kayant:
Hmm yh I just saw he's post that's a bit weird I wonder if it was Quarx who closed it himself because he could if he wanted to being a recognised developer but then again why would he want to ;)

if your're worried about /system then here are some things you can do to reduce it. First use quarx minimal gapps to get the essentials then use a aroma gapps package like JellyBean MultiPack++ and update the package and install any more apps you want also with this you can remove any apps that come default with CM10 that you don't use.
[Defy General] swapnil360:
I know the solution for /system. Using minimal gapps since this problem has come along. I'm just curious to know why this is happening.
[Defy General] Kayant:
Mistaken give you a thanks there ;)... I don't remember any more apps getting added some it may be due to some new features being added in CM or some of the could be due to some of linaro optimizations added?? Well who knows :p

Could it be that you had set 2ndboot-UART as boot mode when you had problems with charging?

Because UART mode uses the USB port and prevents charging.

That's why it is called "flash" and not "steady"! ;)

But glad to hear it's still working.

Hello, I am the moderator of the forum Androidz which is in Brazil. User A report came to me about an event that came to happen to you. With other versions of Android (CM7, Journal 2.3.x. ..) your memory card works normally, only after installing the CM10 your card does not work, being shown this error: E: cant mount / sdcard. After returning to CM7 or other versions, the card works normally, most always have to reinstall the official GB ROM. I was wondering if this really is a bug in version or something. PS: He already reinstalled the ROM, swapped cards, most do not work anyway, more to connect it to the USB on the computer also detects only the same CM10 that is giving it .... What do you say?

Sorry for the English, because I'm from Brazil and I use the Google translator.
[Defy General] bharaththeunique:
Yup... That problem has happened to me only I think. No one gave **** of a thought to it so I just reverted to other builds. The problem comes up only with newest versions of cm10 and even with cm9.1...first I thought it was problem with kernel since sd is now working for me on CNA 3.6.5.1 with older 2.6.32.9 kernel and other two have the newer 2.6.32.6 kernel. But then I got the error with PACman rom too. (someone confirm which kernel it has) I forgot abt that..

And note... This shows up only in the recovery. But if u look closer using root explorer u can see that sd card is mounted as r/o... And there is no option to change it to r/w do I think k that is why sd was not able to mount. Being r/o doesn't mean sd doesn't work, I can play songs, view photos and videos n all, but it fails to mount in revovery

Hope someone gives a bit of time to this annoying bug.
