Low battery mode?

I just remembered one more thing - I was using my GPS, it actually worked great, obtaining lock in less than 10 seconds. But when I tried using it again with my battery very low - less than 20%, it didn't even try to search for sattelites, it just stayed ON, but no lock at all... Is there some hidden "low battery mode" in this ROM that cuts off some features?
[HTC Desire S] skim0322:
I keep checking for the update. Haha
[HTC Desire S] dejavu89:
I think I might have 'accidentally' found a solution to the Event Log Service wakelock, but let's see if it works:

As per bill's suggestion, I was looking at the autostart maps thing here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29420959&postcount=7059

Randomly, I came across four 'Google Services Framework' options. I wondered what they were and clicked each one. One of them had 'Something.EventLogService.something'. I disabled it. Not like completely disabled, but disabled it to run after boot, so I guess it won't run. I also disabled one more google service which said something about reporting stats. So 2 out of 4 I disabled. Now lets see if it appears in my wakelock. The application is named autostarts which allows to disable.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
@BillGoss

Hmm this actually makes sense, since android assumes to use various services, requiring sync all the time that are making our devices a "smartphones" and it seems that Google's engineers polished that part in 4.1 much better than on previous versions, so the "old" battery saving techniques do more harm than good.

I will try with WiFi, data and Sync ON to see how it will behave

I believe that issue is caused only by non-ROM native kernels (such as 82n by Andromadus). The post wasn't intended to say anything bad about your builds or anything.

And what's a Vision? I thought this is for Saga..
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Vision is the code name for the HTC desire z.
[HTC Desire S] maniche04:
I believe it can't be the kernel, it's something Google related (Event Log Service). Even the ones with Sony panels have it.

Wondering if the backlight behaviour is like on NK111's build yet? Where they only light up in the dark?
[HTC Desire S] esideboi:
Just had an extreme battery drain, in one hour more than 20 percent since fully charged. Phone was used as usual, mobile data on, location service on. Most of the time it was sleeping without my interactions. The element which caused drain was the screen, but I do not remember which service it was in bbs as I did a reboot. After reboot everything is fine like before. Maybe this could help someone to find out the source of the issue.

Edit: I forgot to mention I'm on the latest 125 build.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
After setting proposed by BillGoss configuration (WiFi, sync, data, gps on) this wakelock is gone and no battery drain. I believe Android 4.1 is made to be in sync.

If you need Event log service to appear again just enable "turn off WiFi while sleeping" from the advanced WiFi settings ;)

I am also having some keyboard issues. When writing a sms. After some time not all buttons are working. Sometimes helps switching from portrait to landscape mode but with particular buttons. For example letter "A" is not working ir portrait, so I am switching to landscape and touch "A" and continuing sms in landscape. But in landscape "." is not working. Again switching to portrait to place a dot in sms. Reboot helps for a while... Anybody having this problem too?

Sounds like you may have a digitiser issue. Those buttons would be in about the same place in different orientations.

[HTC Desire S] thepowerofone:
Guys, is there a way to have mobile data disabled on the rom BEFORE flashing it, anything I can edit out? I don't need a data plan, hence I don't have one, so it charges me every time I install a new build (and I do install every new one) before I can go into the settings and disable mobile data, because of the initial setup wizard delay. Taking out the SIM for every flash is not very elegant, not to mention it wears down the plastic battery cover.

Can we please have data disabled by default, or please guide me into disabling it on the rom before flashing!
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
I generally flash the rom, start it, set up Wi-Fi and then flash gapps. Data hardly shows

I'm your huckleberry
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
I don't see any whining, do you? I see some constructive comments about what to do to make this rom better than it is already.

EDIT: second time already that my xda app is not updating the thread.. So this is a reaction about a little bit earlier in the thread.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Haven't used Andromadus since around build 115, but the latest has a significant speed improvement across the whole phone, feels a lot smoother.

[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
Have you tried 77n? If I remember correctly, this is the better kernel as it has good battery life. Read the early pages of this thread if you want more info.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Yes it does, but the latest JB ROMs don't boot up with 77n, the device stays at the HTC logo screen
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
Two suggestions: 1. don't wipe data when you flash new versions of the same ROM (Flinny and nk111 ROMs are both CM10). This will preserve your settings and won't invoke the setup wizard. 2. Add a pin to the SIM so that it only connects after you have entered the pin.

Given that the CM approach is for things to work out-off-the-box, I would not change the ROM's default setup.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[HTC Desire S] Flinny:
Older kernels will have sound blackout problems if you had them.....
[HTC Desire S] thepowerofone:
@BillGoss Thanks for the suggestions, the first one is not a viable option. The second one looks like a clever idea, but it's unlikely to work, since you cannot do anything on the device before the pin is entered. I'm not sure if that will be the case on a fresh install, but I strongly suspect so.

I think there is a way to have a setting preconfigured. Remember when HW overlays had to be disabled in earlier versions and now doesn't? So now the development options have disabled altogether in the settings, by Flinny or nk111, I don't know, but they are disabled. Now... if only my field of work was android development and I knew what to do... but it's not, so I am asking for help. I suspect that simple thing may benefit more users.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Right after the initial setup starts you can pull the notification bar (yes it is possible) press the settings shortcut and disable data.

Or if you want to skip the setup do not flash the gapps together with the ROM. Then it will start directly on the home screen. Disable data, reboot to recovery and flash gapps.

Or you can just delete OneTimeInitializer from the gapps package and then flash it with the ROM. Then there will be no setup as well

[HTC Desire S] AMKiss:
I had the same problem, posted a bit earlier. On the first boot setup asks you to pick a language. Don't pick it. Just pull down notification bar immediately. Long press on wifi icon. Opens wifi settings. press "back to network options" on the top in left. Just arrow like this <. And disable mobile data. Then just touch "back" button until you reach startup menu again (language picking).

Sorry for my bad English. Hope you will understand.

Flinny, nk111, am I on the right track to get mobile data disabled in the rom before flashing it, is the structure and are the files the same in your rom/CM10?

P.S. I decompiled the SettingsProvider.apk and went through the xmls - there's no setting related to mobile data to be enabled or disabled, and I suppose that's normal: http://grepcode.com/file/repository...SettingsProvider/res/values/defaults.xml?av=f

bug: other side cant hear me with headset.

request : can you add usb fast charge in new build or is it possible ? , i usually charge my phone from usb and love usb fastcharge
[HTC Desire S] Flinny:
Turning data off on first boot. Unlikely to happen as more people actually want it than don't. The roms are shipped as CM is configured in that sense, if you want that to change better go argue with CM. You've got lot's of workarounds to keep you going though so I don't expect it's a big issue.

USB fast charging, read back a bit. I'm not going to break the USB specification by pulling more than 500mA on a usb 2 port. If it was the case of enabling it none computer usb connections like cheap and nasty plug chargers then that's a possibility, dont really care how many of those you burn out.

Headset issue - is it Wired/BT and did you initiate the call or did you receive it. Does it only happen when you make or receive the call or both?

Nick.
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Hi Flinny,

I quick question regarding my data switch issue - I remember it happened some time ago and I think you fixed it. Now I have it again - switching between 2G/2G + 3G leads to losing my data connection. Sometimes the data connection is there and works, but there's no indication and I can see "No internet connection" in the status bar. Most of the time I can see "E" or "H", but the data connection stays dead. And most of the time there's nothing else to do except to reboot.

I'm on 125 over 124 (clean install).

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] thepowerofone:
Yeah, but it costs real money (even if a small amount) having mobile data on by default, whereas the only cost that people who need it will have to pay is ticking it on once if its off. Then again, it's understandable that it takes an effort and I am hardly inclined to ask for more than what has already been given to us. Thanks for the kind response.

[HTC Desire S] peters.:
I had a feeling, that battery drain occurred only if disconnected from wifi/mobile data. Usually I turn off autosync, WiFi, GPS, data overnight to conserve battery. But on JB ROMs this caused opposite effect, phone was more awake then deepsleep (alarmsmanager, eventlog, exchange sync).

On stock sense, fallout, cm7.2, 4.04 the phone is in deepsleep as awaited.

I didn't have problems with maps, latitude disabled and no location reporting.

[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:

[HTC Desire S] dejavu89:
Alarm Manager usage is high for me. But I don't see much drain when screen is off. The real drain is while using the phone. The drop is literally noticeable while using. And I don't think BBS is much useful while usage. I personally feel the screen/ recent performance tweaks have something to do with it.

Also, I have tried using a number of charging cables. But I have been consistently noting problems with charging indicator. Like the percentage randomly stops at some number (like 72% or 80%) while the phone is charging. At that point you have to reboot the phone and percentage goes to 100%. It'd be great if someone else can confirm this.

Of course it still shows 4.1.2, cuz it IS still 4.1.2. This just gives you some 4.2 apps, like the new Gmail, Market, Keyboard.

[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
My experience with this is that it's due to an ageing battery. I had the problem about 6 months ago and found that the problem disappeared after I replaced the battery.

Also, if you leave the phone charging, it will eventually jump back up to 100%.

I personally would just live with the issue until the are serious problems with the battery charging and/or holding its charge.

Your logic isn't quite correct: there are two common factors between Flinny's and nk111's ROMs: 1. CM10, 2. Andromadus kernel.

Also, it doesn't account for commonalities in apps installed or hardware. Especially since not everybody has this problem.
