I've noticed a drain as well. i've 2600mah battery. I was full at around 3:30am this morning, its now about 2pm and i'm down to 29%. Prior versions including JacHero i had close to 24 hours without a charge, now i'm back to like i was when i have the stock battery :). With the JacHero and Twisted and JF and prior CM Roms, I would get that 24 hours WITH GPS/WiFi/Screen Brightness full/OverClocked/etc...i never held back. Something I think is def eating up power :)
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
Could you go into Spare Parts and look at your battery useage and see if there is anything out of the ordinary?

I wonder if there is a learning curve with this version since there was some battery power thing installed earlier and your battery monitor has to be recalibrated?

I'm making things up of course.

Either that or my battery is reporting false readings and I'm lower than I really am. As well I did a wipe coming from 3.2 to this build of 3.6.5
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
If your new at this i would suggest not taking short cuts and read the threads about the rom your looking to upgrade to. all the information you seek is listed in the forums. If your interested in cyanogens rom then read all the info posted before updating to save your self the headache and possibly getting cussed out by asking questions that are posted over and over again, people dont mind helping but no one wants to help a lazy person. just my 2cents.

re battery

wasnt there a tweak to the freq scaling some versions back (honestly i havent gone back to check the changelogs....and really i'm just brainstorming) that removed some of the lag between changing proc speed. could it be that the device is hitting max speed quicker thus taxing the battery more through normal usage?
[G1 Android Development] xdothenderson:
ive also had the battery issue as of late & i woke up to the dreaded "Damaged SD card" notification i have never seen that notification ever..i'm scared to format the card it has to be away around it.
[G1 Android Development] zepe263:
Thanks ttabbal

I was finally able to get a 4GB card partitioned. maybe my 16gb card was bad. Only using 2MB of internal memory so I think all my apps are going to the sd card.

A couple more newbee questions...I ended up going back to JF1.51 ADP last night because I couldn't get wifi to work on 3.6.5. I did load the Cyano 1.31 recovery.

Once I see the wifi issue solved I really want to use Cyano3.6.5...what happens to the apps I have on sd when I flash 3.6.5? If I need to wipe in the future do I lose all my apps, even though they are on the sd card?

Thanks

This is what I have noticed with the battery/battery meter ....

If I reboot the phone(g1) when the meter is less than 100% , the meter is not accurate when when reboots . I have to drain the battery to at least 50% than charge it to 100 % . this charge up lasts unusually long but gets there . If I then reboot the phone at 100% battery charge , the battery meter corrects itself . This battery charge lasts much longer and is accurate . I hope everyone understands what I wrote , because I'm writting in a hurry .
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
That very same thing happened to me once...

I shut-off the phone, waited about ten seconds, then turned it back on and the error was gone and the card survived.

I'm not guaranteeing this will work for you ;)
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
More than often when my battery gets down to 31% and I reset, it goes back up to 80%. LOL. Something isn't reading the battery level correctly.
[G1 Android Development] simms22:
when it starts off at 80% and you know its more like 30 , drain it . it will drain fast ! i normally start some music up then it drains quickly . when it gets near what i believe i right , then i start charging . if i charge when it says 80 and i know its not , the charge always stays incorrect . just drain and charge to 100% . this charging will take longer than usual , especially from 80% and up . when it finally gets to 100% , just reboot your phone and it will stay accurate until you shut the phone off at less than 100% . i now , try to only reboot the phone at 100% .

ps. when the meter is accurate , the battery is actually pretty decent !

for some reason , the battery will not charge more when the meter says 100% and the battery actually isnt 100% . also , this is not only on cyanogens builds , its happening on all builds (official and unofficial)
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
Thats the great thing about apps2sd. You wipe and they are still on your Sd card. The only bummer thing is the data aka your settings are on the device and unless you have cache2sd you have to redo all your settings and sometimes data is lost if you don't have it backed up.

Just hit 1200 and after 5hours of use I'm down to 89%.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
My battery life has remained the same, but I have noticed that the meter isn't accurate. There are big jumps in the reading after reboots.
[G1 Android Development] hyoomen:
Go, go, go! This sounds like exactly the solution to some of my gravest complaints about Android. How they let it out of the gates without this setup in the first place is beyond me. How about making it so pressing the call button makes the telephony-related apps and frameworks take precedence? You know, since it's a phone? ;) Hate having my other fun apps get in the way of making a super quick call. It's embarrassing.

You rock as always.
[G1 Android Development] xdothenderson:
lol it didn't work :( ill try to mount/unmount it to my mac when i get home & see if that helps

i actually let my battery get below 12% charged it when i got home & i woke up to the notification i usually hardly ever let my battery get below 20-30%

[G1 Android Development] ttabbal:
:confused: Wifi works fine for me. I guess some people are having issues though. No idea why. I just told it I wanted to connect, gave it the password, and off it went.

If you wipe, your apps remain. That's why people recommend formatting the second partition (EXT2/3/4) when switching to a new ROM type. Sometimes weird versions or other such things get installed that break on the other ROM. You do lose any data stored locally on the phone. I haven't noticed anything that caused me a lot of grief doing a wipe, but I also haven't used it for months before wiping, so I could be missing something. When you get things working well, use Nandroid from the recovery menu to back up your phone. That way, you can get the internal phone memory back where it was before you messed with stuff. :) The apps you will have to backup/restore separately if you have them on SD. I'm sure that will end up as a script in the recovery image at some point as well.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
I let my battery drain down to zero and it shut itself off. I left the phone off and charged it for 30 minutes. I then turned on the phone, and it read 100% ftw. lol

Love this rom, but is there a way to switch between the types of transistion animation? I've grown quite fond of the slide animation that was present in JF's 1.51 build.
[G1 Android Development] schomin:
Has anyone got the new HTC IME working correctly on this ROM? I got it installed and the virtual keyboard works but the slide out keyboard auto correct function only worked some of the time.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Not Cyan's problem, to be honest. Go try the Q/A forum. You probably need to reinstall the app.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Were you using TA Utility before to move the caches to the SD card?
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
settings ---> sound&display----> transition setting OR go to the SPARE PARTS APP
[G1 Android Development] painrage:
I got mine at 32mb works great
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
The Spare Parts app that comes standard with Cyan's build has the slide transitions. Disable the Animations option in Settings>Display and then enable transitions in Spare Parts.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
It works splendidly. When you say slide out keyboard, do you mean the physical G1 keyboard? The auto correct function works if you re-click the text field.
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
finally some direction! lol sorry i just know i asked this b4 and nothing asked like 4 times and nothin. any who thank you luke hope i can fix this its so annoying lol i dont want buddymob or ebuddy or whatever. the default should work its just broken for me now lol thanks ;P
[G1 Android Development] jpescobar:
Wow! I didnt think of this. I just ran the TA utility again and it all works. Thank you so much you saved me! I appreciate it!
[G1 Android Development] schomin:
Thats exactly what I ment. Thank you I didn't realize you had to reclick it. I was only getting the auto correct for the physical keyboard before when I created a new message. Now it certainly is working splendidly!:)
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
I've encountered the same problem multiple times, so I figured I would share what I did :].
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Yup! Personally, I wish the auto-correct wasn't there at all because it runs too slowly to text for me (I text about as fast as I type) and it always re-corrects things when I don't want them, but at least some people appreciate it :].

[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
As long as you have an Ext 2/3/4 partition on your card, the ROM will automatically look for it on boot up and utilise it when installing programs.

download zip / rename to update.zip and flash like any rom. Might need to wipe before flash. And Cyan has a theme at the first page of this post.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
It's done for you with this rom.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
If you have Ext2 or Ext3 on your SD Card, then Apps to SD is automatic.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Check out the Dream Themes and Wallpapers section, which has a nice set of available themes for Cyan's mod. Be SURE to follow their instructions and make sure it says it's compatible with Cyanogen 3.6.5, otherwise, it'll break features and cause massive anarchy amongst your phone. :]
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
If you have the EXT 2/3/4 partition set up, you're good to go. If the Apps aren't on that partition already, Cyan's ROM will move them for you. If you don't have Apps at all, Cyan will automatically start installing them there. All I've found the AppsToSD app useful for was creating the partition in the first place (since I can't do it with my computer).
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
If you already have the partition, it will work automatically with Cyan's mod. Just uninstall the Apps2SD2 app before you flash over and you'll have no issues at all :].

So the battery meters are no good?

I was so happy when at 3.6 with my hereo theme. Good battery life...fast...and with the hero theme setting off my lighthouse wallpaper everything was perfect.

Went to 6.2 because I NEVER had a problem with Cy's work and he just keeps making it better and better. But sad to say I got major battery drain with 3.6.2...and no theme:( When I say major battery drain I mean like 1% every min or 3 at most. That with everything off and not making any phone calls. I used Taskiller and kept turning everything off. I only have the clock widget and battery life running. Did all the reading and held off on the updates waiting for 3.6.5 hoping that would fix things. Since I had a problem when installing the hero theme with 3.6.2....before installing 3.6.5... I did a format of EXT 3, removed the swapp partition and did a wipe. Memory was still just as bad.....the nice thing...when it was asleep it drains very little. Unpluged over night and in a 6hr time it went down 8% But between 11:31AM and 12:49PN it went from 73% to 55% All I did was go on and off the Market....on and off the browser...turn wifi on and of...check mail and played a game of mahjongg. Basically I was just checking everything. Went back to 3.6 but memory was now bad.....went back to 3.5.6 and still bad. I was still running the new recovery with the old ROMs. I didn't think recovery would affect memory in a ROM....does it? I ask because I had good memory with 3.6 and the 1.2 recovery.

I did have a problem with a bad lag with the scree rotation but unchecking and checking in both settings and spare parts helped that.....still there but not as slow. Everything else seems to work fine.

Here's one for you guys: :D

I'm running CM 3.6.5 - no theme. Open Home as my Home screen app.

Earlier today I backed up my phone using CM 1.3.1 backup - no problems.

Decided I wanted to try and install the Hero Theme. Switched my default home screen to the Android Home and removed all of the icons. Shutoff the phone, turned it back on - I did not press Home & Power because I wanted to perform a Normal boot first then download the Hero Theme to my SD Card.

However, the boot-up got stuck in a bootloop on the animated blue "Android" screen. Pulled the battery and tried it again - same thing happened. Pulled the battery held down the Home & Power buttons and restored the back-up from this morning. Booted to my Open Home screen, all of my icons were there, and all is good.

So, I decided to try it again. I went through the same steps, switched default homescreen, shutdown, powered on and got stuck in the boot loop again. Pulled battery, restored, everything's fine.

Thank god for the back up and restore - thanks Cyanogen. Restore saved my for the 219th time ;)

Anyway, what could be preventing my phone from booting into the default Android homescreen? Any thoughts?

I should also add - I can shutdown/startup and reboot my phone as long as Open Home is my default Home screen.

Post 5667 was talking about this same problem and a few posts after.

when I dont need to use my phone (no reception where I work) I put it in airplane mode. had it there for nearly 8 hours with no battery drain. I guess I might as well of had my phone off (no battery drain at all!)...

Also Play with the Overslock widget. I set the freq. to 128000 Min/Max when the screen is off, I did notice a batterylife difference.

P.S. This so far is the best build yet! Thanks Cyan!

Thats what im talking about!

I have mine set at 20 like above. Ive noticed that it doesnt do a whole lot with this rom and all the awesomness cyanogen has packed into it, but it works wonders for the browser. Try it. With your swap off, open a bunch of windows in your browser and play a little. Then do the same with swap on. Its sweet.

Yeah, pisses me off. I turned it off.

If your apps are on your sd card's ext2/3/4 partition, just wipe and flash and go.

The theme posted on the first page is a template to make your own themes with. However, you can switch back to the default theme with this file, say after trying a different theme and not liking it.

Try uninstalling OpenHome.

You can always reinstall, right?

Need Some Help

SD card is damaged. Happened after mounting to pc and uploading music. I have another sd as backup without an ext partition. I had apps2SD2 (maximus version). I think I need to re-flash cyan 6.4.2, because alot of the functionality is gone (i.e. Virtual Keyboard). But does it require that you have apps to sd before I re-flash? If it isn't a requirement, then does it set it up for you? Looking for the best way to get back up and running. Confused. Thanks!

This is my set up with no problems , but I had too....

Uninstall 3rd party widgets or any app that starts at boot, and uninstall and then reinstall any app with a broken link. This was all because I had to revert to a non apps2sd Rom and it broke the permissions for any private app that I had, which I found out is that just because it's free doesn't mean that it's not designated as private. And also when ever I'be flashed any of the hero Rom's either between them or from them i've had to redo partitions on the sd card.

hope this helps some one cause this setup runs great for me

ps. i had to wipe then flash because i was comming from a non cyanogen rom

[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
you don't decrypt the xml. even if you do, you still have to re-compile it. You're better off downloading the whole package Cyanogen's already built and compiling it yourself, just load it up on eclipse and run it with your phone connected, Cyan's worked out the kinks, so you'll probably not get any errors that prevent running (I downloaded the whole source and I can't just compile it as it is, as it's full of errors that eclipse won't let me through, so I use some of cyan's code to get things working). You have to edit the layout-port and layout-land inside the layout folder to bring the screens down to 3, you also have to edit the launcher.java to bring down the default screen count to 3 and the default screen to screen 2.

Faster battery drain

I just wanted to mention that I too have noticed faster battery drain on 3.6.5 than I had on 3.6.1. I haven't changed my configuration, apps or usage enough to account for the difference. It is not horrible. It's just not a great as it used to be.

I am going to try re-calibrating my battery and see if that helps. The process for that, BTW, is 1) drain the battery ALL the way down until the phone shuts itself off, 2) plug it in to the charger without turning it back on, 3) let it charge completely/over night while still turned off, 4) remove it from the charger and boot up. This made a huge difference for me when I first did it several months ago.
