[TouchPad Development] Bwangster12:
I get great battery life for a few hours regardless and then up to 30 mA, if I install and setup my apps or do a fresh install and leave stock for awhile. I just installed Battery Widget and that's it.

Aside from doing an AcmeUninstall and Reinstalling... I think I give up.
[TouchPad Development] JustMeToo:
I went back to 10 but not because of the battery life. I just couldn't live with the freezing of the screen and the subsequent reboot which for some reason forced me to relog to the play store and so on. The battery life was for me not a problem. I must admit I don't get the hoopla about it. Can someone explain it to me, why is it so important? I had almost 120mA drain and the tablet last all night and the following day in sleep. In the morning I mostly charge it and if I forget I do it in the afternoon. Am I missing something here?
[TouchPad Development] lmt1979:
Headphone jack working on this build?

Just wondering if anyone knows if the headphone jack works/switches when plugged in.
[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
Yeah, I don't care too much for battery life, my tablet sleeps at least for the night on the touchstone, and often during the day, but still, before doing a complete wipe, I was having 60 to 100mA drain on sleep, now it's improved a lot as I just posted. I was facing similar issues, not having to relogin but having either reboots or freezes that required to force restart. This happened with no pattern I could detect, I could sometimes have 10 heavy tabs open on chrome and sometimes opening just 2 or launching the play store would screw it.

My last full wipe was in Jan or Feb I guess, updated frequently only wiping caches and had about 150 apps installed and lots of play store mags, my tablet was barely usable but I had it so tweaked that I dreaded wiping. I was always hitting the 50 protected apps limit. If you are willing to do a full, sd included wipe, give this rom another try, I know it's been only a few days but since doing it, my tablet rocks. I'm trying not to install so much crap but I'm already at 70 apps installed (lots of emulators, games and media apps) and so far so good.
[TouchPad Development] Bwangster12:
It isn't literally about the battery life, I mean I don't usually need my Touchpad to last more than a day either...

It's about the life of the battery. My understanding has always been that the more charges you do, the shorter the battery will last.
[TouchPad Development] reynoben:
BUMP...
[TouchPad Development] Bwangster12:
That's a weird experience, and one that I don't have understanding of. Did you try doing a fresh install again, see if it happens again? What I call a fresh install is doing factory reset, wiping cache, formatting data, cache and system, wiping davlik and then flashing new rom.

I've officially given up with figuring out the battery drain on this thing. Did a total AcmeUninstall and then reflashed. Without any apps the best drain I see is about 30 mA.
[TouchPad Development] RTbar:
i'm actually having incredible battery life with this rom. no sleep drain whatsoever and it seems to be lasting hours longer than my previous roms
[TouchPad Development] Dongers:
That's about the same for me.....although on the 11 June build I have seen a few 24-25s....still lot better than I was seeing before....still happy with this ROM, its the nuts......
[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
This happened to me once a few months ago, a reflash fixed it. I have the "Show Touches" from developer options enabled and when this happened it would show like there was a finger touching the screen all the time, I had to force a restart and go straight to twrp as it was impossible to use otherwise.
[TouchPad Development] reynoben:
I'll do a wipe/reinstall this weekend and see how she goes!

Thx!
[TouchPad Development] JustMeToo:
Yeah, but the biggest drain, and the reason I have to recharge, is when the tablet is on, not when it's sleeping. That is my problem, it doesn't last as long as my ViewSonic tablet has lasted. Most, if not all, post on this subject so far has been on what the drainage is during sleep.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Well I have bad news for you, you are a party of one in the aspect you describe. You can't compare how your battery performs in your TouchPad to another tablet. If you want ViewSonic performance, then sell your TouchPad and you'll have it. Do you know the history of Android on the TouchPad? If you did, then you would understand why one can't make an apples to apples comparison between the two. One controls the battery usage on any Android device by the judicious use of the device. Examples, setting the screen brightness to a level just bright enough for the area where you are using it. When just reading a book or mag, turn on Airplane mode to turn off all the radios, thus using less battery. There are also apps on the Play Store that are supposed to help save the battery when you are using the device.

You are not going to get much sympathy in the TouchPad forums complaining about your TouchPad not getting the same performance as your ViewSonic. OH, I almost forgot, you could uninstall Android and use WebOS. You might see as good or better battery performance than your ViewSonic. OH shoot, I just gave away the history on the TouchPad. It was designed, engineered and built for WebOS not Android. Those of us who know that are grateful to the CM team and all the developers around the world who managed to get Android working as amazingly well as it does on our TouchPads.
[TouchPad Development] ps3play:
i like your enthusiasm but this post was so unnecessary.. you sir have a lot of free time on your hands.. who cares if he or she made a comparison.. smh :rolleyes:
[TouchPad Development] detdett:
Because devs don't like their roms compared? Especially if it's from another device? Imagine people said that about your work.

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

Maybe you should go back to your viewsonic tablet then.

Moderator?
[TouchPad Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Thanks for the ROM, [MENTION=1009123]shumash[/MENTION]. Just switched back to Schizoid after being on evervolv for a while. I missed having actual features included in a ROM.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Excuse me, but who made you moderator of my posts? Justmeto brought up the subject of the fact that his Viewsonic gets better battery life than a touchpad. I stayed on topic, and explained the fault in his thinking. I even explained why and gave him the history to back up my explanation.

You sir went off topic and violated forum rules by criticizing me. Not cool!:(

You should give them a read, they are very enlightening!
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
my tp also use about 95mA in standby :( i can't sove the Problem
[TouchPad Development] etibon:
Same for me. About 30-35mA. Flashed A6 firmware. Clean install. No apparent significant wakelocks according to BetterBatteryStats.
[TouchPad Development] colt223:
I am getting about -70 battery drain. I get -6 on my other TP running cm10

reflashed a6 twice, no change.

I am doing an acmeuninstall right now, and will try a fresh clean install. Hopefully I can get it down under -10, it spoils me on my other TP.
[TouchPad Development] JustMeToo:
I too had flashed, over the weekend, back to CM10 and then flashed a6 and had -5 or so drain overnight. I flashed back to this ROM and had, overnight, just the kindle up and the battery monitor widget in the background while the TP was sleeping, just like I had in CM10. This morning it showed a consistent drain of between -111 and -113.

So far I didn't have the display freeze to touches but I sill have this annoying thing where the TP reacts as if I had touched it even so I did not. I hear the sound that I normally hear when I touch the screen and the screen changes to a new screen, when I'm in the setting app for example, but I didn't do anything, I was just reading all the options that I have. It also happens in Kindle where I read a page and all of a sudden it reacts as if I touched the side of the page to get to the next page.

EDIT: I flashed the CM10.1. The one that Cyanogenmod is making. Schizoid ROM is based on it. I had the kindle app and the battery monitor widget in the background while the tablet was sleeping and I got -5 drain. That means that something in this Schizoid ROM is not compatible with my tablet since the other ROMs are showing low drainage in sleep.
[TouchPad Development] etibon:
Wifi doesn't reconnect

One annoying thing that's been happening to me on this ROM (11th June version) is that my wifi never reconnects when it wakes up from sleep. Wifi seems to freeze preventing the entire settings application from loading. When this happens I have to toggle airplane mode in order to reset the wifi. Then it connects fine.

This happens every time I wake up the tablet and it is relatively annoying :). It happens on any access point, so there's no one particular AP that seems to be causing it.

Any ideas?
[TouchPad Development] yamaha_wins:
ROM is pretty laggy compared to cm9.. When I installed this ROM I did a complete reset of my touchpad.. (Deleted android, formatted touchpad and did the A6 firmware).. No matter what function I'm trying do, it takes seconds for it to start the command or select what I'm clicking on..
[TouchPad Development] olufadi1:
This happens to me too... Not every time I wake up my to but occasionally. Actually I can't even view settings until I use the toggle WiFi trick. Pretty quick fix but send like some kind of bug.
[TouchPad Development] iamsamsamiam:
I finally got around to doing a clean install last night after being on a few dirty flashes for the last few builds.

Doing the entire "restore apps and restart" thing. After the second restart the TP dies. The battery was coming up dead but I had at least 45% in it before the second restart.

I have a BMW record that shows it going from 50%->0% in a 1.5hour unrecorded window of time.

The device if fine now but I want to know if this is a thing. Like flashing a ROM and restoring apps does eat more batteries but it shouldn't eat that much.

Also, my TP is charging really slow for a while now. With the 2A charger I'm only pulling about 500-700mAh from the wall. But if I plug it into my phone I get ~1.5 with the same charger and cable. Should I change cables? Are my USB contacts on my TP messed up?

Edit: After charging the TP for a while it jumped from about 60% to 100%. So is there some false reporting going on or is there something worse that i don't know.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Best of my knowledge, this is happening across all 4.2.2 JB Roms. I've personally have tried several, and had the same problem. One can access the Quick Settings menu and recycle WiFi off and back on and then setting will work.
[TouchPad Development] jack901:
I think this rom is great. I have no issues so far and been on it since 6-11.wifi is fast and no issues .I use a radio scanner (cop radio) and it runs 24 hrs a day. and no drops at all ever. I do not worry about battery as it sits on the touchstone when I am not using it.

for what it is and it is still being developed I am just thankful. alot more support than hp gave it.
[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
Well, to those complaining of battery drain, please, try a full wipe, including sd, DON'T restore all apps, reboot a couple of times and let the rom settle.

This is what I've done and my tablet is working great, screenshot attached. I'm up to 65 apps installed, quite a lot of widgets and no issues at all.

I manually installed apps and only selectively restored data for those apps were it was worth.

I have two APs at home, with different SSIDs and use 'best wifi' from the play store, keep wifi on all the time and have no wifi issues at all, while before the full wipe I had frequent connectivity loses.

I had a bit higher drain a few days ago (~30mA) but not what I see reported.
[TouchPad Development] etibon:
Aha I see. This is the only 4.2.2 rom I've tried.

I wonder why not everybody experiences this. I *always* get it.
[TouchPad Development] JustMeToo:
When you say 'I manually installed apps' you're not talking about the gapps, right? Those you flashed as a complete unit, right?
[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
Yes, I'm talking about not restoring apps from a titanium backup, as last time I did that my issues started. I'm using pa_gapps from http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps , I've increased my system partition to 500mb as those are bigger because they include a lot more than the regular ones, and I also convert not frequently updated apps I use often to system using titanium, to avoid hitting the 50 protected apps limit. Having more than 50 asec mounts is what causes the sd card dismounted issue, to find how many mountpoints you are using, run this on a terminal:

mount | grep -c asec
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Thanks for the terminal command to check the number of asec mounts. I haven't pulled my shoes off lately and counted the total number of apps I have installed, but the last time I cleared cache and Dalvik cache, when Android rebuilt the cache, the app count at the beginning of the boot process was upwards of between 140 and 160. I just ran ran your command and got the number six. I'm wondering what makes an app an asec app? I am in no apparent danger of violating the 50 app limit.
[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
From what I can figure, it's mostly paid apps that create an asec mount, but I've seen some free apps that still do it. Below is the list from my current setup, as you can see most if not all are paid apps or keys for free apps.

Also check for widgets that are running....from previous posts you will all know I was having a "issues" with my battery.....just look at it now.....:)
[TouchPad Development] BuffMcBigHuge:
Just cleaned cache and dalvik in recovery, and flash the latest Schizoid. I'm liking the speed and responsiveness!

You guys probably already know, but any UI mode that isn't stock in PA settings shows a black spacer between the notification bar and the applications.

Ill keep an eye on the battery life. What app is "Battery History?"?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
All my apps are free apps.

Download Battery Monitor Widget
[TouchPad Development] Evi1Yoda:
Just installed this ROM after running CM9 for a year - the speed is great so far, but am I missing something or can I not access any settings for my apps? For instance, I can't change my gmail notification settings. Usually the 3 dot bar is there but not any more...?
[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
Go to settings -> ROM Control -> General UI and make sure 'Show Menu UI Overflow' is enabled.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Is there some reason this cannot be made the default? It would stop all the questions from people who don't know how to read the OP.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
I'll check, but helping out people who can't/won't read isn't my raison d'etre.
[TouchPad Development] f_padia:
Can you explain what you mean by UI mode? I set tablet mode in PA settings but I still have the black spacer bar. Also everything seems much bigger than it was on previous version of the same ROM. I guess I need to change the DPI settings.

Out of interest What is the default DPI of the TP? Also what layout mode would be default for the tp?

Thanks

Edit: oops sorry just realised there's a 'stock ui' mode in PA settings... Kinda ignored that the first time
[TouchPad Development] cajunflavoredbob:
The stock dpi for the touchpad is 140, but that breaks the market, so 160 is normally what the chefs use.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Mine either!!! But having those menu selections visible really is necessary and would make your Rom more user friendly. Thanks
[TouchPad Development] Evi1Yoda:
Ah, so that's what navigation bar blah blah meant...I had a brain fart and for some reason "tablet mode" meant "portrait". Sorry.

Thanks :)
[TouchPad Development] Mgamerz:
I'm on June 18 and it has that extra space and its driving me wild. Nothing i do turns it off. I kinda want the new jb tablet interface so it matches my nexus 7. Otherwise this ROM is great, kicks cyanogenmods one so hard.
[TouchPad Development] f_padia:
I'm on 11th June version and switching to stock ui in pa settings got rid of the black bar. If that doesn't work on 18th June version I guess something must have changed... I didn't even know there was an 18th June version
[TouchPad Development] gradular:
The june 18th version was not supposed to go public, but goo has had a lot of problems and some people got it before shumash took it off

[TouchPad Development] BuffMcBigHuge:
Ahh I better post this before it dies.

Not sure why it missed a whole set of readings, but two days with light to medium usage is not bad. I'm certainly not getting -2 mA loss in idle, but 1% an hour is okay.
[TouchPad Development] BuffMcBigHuge:
Side note. If you look at the percentage lost during idle, alongside the mA, the screenshot posted with -2 mA is experiencing the less drain, but not nearly as much as it should considering my mA loss is so high. Calibration issue?
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
i got a fc if i try brightness/adjust
[TouchPad Development] blober54:
Flashed this couple days ago, fresh install :) and having some issue with it getting hot on the back left side. Not sure whats up with that... I've had a few other roms on my touchpad and this is a new thing when I flashed to this one.

I went back into recovery and whipped it all out again to fresh and tried to reinstall and its still doing it, so I'd like to know if theirs something I should look at that could be causing it.

If not then I might have to change rom, dont want to burn her up lol
[TouchPad Development] Romcrazguy:
I installed this ROM everything works great except it wont go into deep sleep any suggestions
[TouchPad Development] BuffMcBigHuge:
That might be the issue why some of us are getting around 1-2% loss per hour, while my gf's Touchpad running CM9 is getting less then 0.2% of battery loss per hour on idle!
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
You might want to try installing Better Battery Stats and see what is keeping it awake. You can also visit the XDA BBS thread and post a BBS dump and someone there can try to help you figure it out. It's is probably going to be something in the code of this Rom that causing this and that is up to the developer with our help to figure out. A couple of things that I am aware of that don't help is the Maps app and making sure locations services in settings is turned off.
[TouchPad Development] BuffMcBigHuge:
Uh oh! I just noticed that any voice recognition stalls, I including Google Now and utter!, and the audio seems to stop working when coming from a deep sleep. The audio is fixed upon rebooting, but the voice recognition still hangs.

Anyome with the same issue?

Edit: Weird, it started working again. I also figured that if I select force CPU 2d rendering in developer options, the room becomes overall quote smooth.

[rom update] 27june13

I've uploaded two versions;

Low Power Suspend version has 3mA-10mA power consumption in suspend, but sound stops with screen off

Sound w/ Screen Off version has 65mA-75mA power consumption in suspend, but sound stays on with screen off.

Pick your poison.

Enjoy
[TouchPad Development] colt223:
Thanks for the updates. I dont need sound when the TP is sleeping, so going to give the low power version a shot.

Great work as always. Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
[rom update] 29june13

I've uploaded a new version renumbered as RC2 that merges the two previous separate builds. This one seems to be the best yet, and I've tested it more extensively than previous builds:

1. Low suspend power works with location services and wifi on (wifi still may hang when you turn the screen on. Just turn it off and restart)

2. Sound stays on when screen goes off

3. Updated kernel is very stable (try the hotplug governor, it seems to help overall battery life)

Enjoy
[TouchPad Development] Teejai80:
I had all my apps disappear and wifi go wonky after installing the low power. Had to reboot three times, turn three dot on/off. Still can't install any new apps from the store.

Should we be avoiding dirty flash upgrades?

Edit: will dirty flash the new version and then try full wipe if need be. Thanks for the work.
[TouchPad Development] skywalker6705:
No one ever advises a dirty flash, just too many variables. That said, as long as the installed apps are for the right Android version, 98% of the time you can get away with it. I haven't done a full wipe on my Touchpad in about a year or so at least, and aside from normal rom nuttiness, no issues. Sometimes there are things like having to wipe out contacts and contact storage to stop errors when you move from 10 to 10.1 though. Those are the kind of issues I think no one really wants to handle all the time.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Suspend Power Consumption on latest build

Never been this stable ...
[TouchPad Development] donno1:
I'm seeing the same thing. The WiFi freeze on wakeup is still there, but the airplane mode trick works, so I'm *really* happy with this build. Thank you for the great work on this ROM!!

Just tried the latest update, is it normal to have to install gapps every time?

On the new update. Pretty sick. Thanks for the good work [MENTION=1009123]shumash[/MENTION]

Anyone having issues with different PA settings? The only workspace layout where I don't see a white line at the top of some apps is tablet mode. Phablet and phone both give me white lines at the top of some apps (like gmail, instagram, etc.).
[TouchPad Development] cajunflavoredbob:
shumash, please consider the following commit for your next build. It fixes an issue with the inverted apps package I make that causes a bootloop on CM ROMs that are merged with the 6/26 source onward.
