try clearing your browser cache and other caches
[G1 Android Development] joshtheitguy:
Am I going crazy, mess something up or is the Terminal Emulator gone from 3.9.4?

I'm not seeing it on the menu at all.
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
it's in Dev Tools
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
How can you possibly install an experimental ROM, and not even browse the threads? The answer is all throughout these posts....

I'm not going to tell you to search without giving an answer. It has been moved to dev tools
[G1 Android Development] shotad:
I think Cyanogen should add this in his 3.9.4 change log for the time being...or people could start using the search funtion.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
It won't fix dumb posting. No amount of preparation can fix "stupid". Haven't you ever worked any kind of tech support?
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
Ok, I have some responses below, but wanted to first state something I may be seeing.

Today showed a sharp drop, as previously mentioned. Still on 3.9.3. I recycled and saw a better behaving drainage. I am using battery graph to visually plot. Well, after a few hours of slow drainage, I got on and read through XDA forums.

I saw the sharp drainage again.

Possibly something in the browser is another culprit? (I had seen big droppage previously just using work email, so I think it could be in the framework.)

I'll need to do a wipe at somepoint, or get a better handle on analyzing my background apps.

Now onto some responses......

Interesting....

This is really one of the things making it hard to compare one person's results to another. We are all working from different baselines. Users can compare with past rom versions thay have personally tried.

Your point is well taken. Many battery related posts are so general that they don't seem to informational. Collectively they can be seen as a sign of a problem. It would be great to do some repeatable tests (I.e. drain battery, charge a specific way, run x tests over x time) with different test including complete wipe, no apps, vanilla. Some with other apps that run in the background. That takes a lot of time, but may be needed. A second G1 would be handy. Note that I have ran consistent tests with different results, so a nice sample piool would be needed to. (By then cyanogen will be 2+ revs ahead of your test rom.)

Anyways, back to your point... more info surrounding battery tests woukd be appreciated.

Interesting. Have you seen this help? I imagine it helps with the calibration.

my job is tech support, and you are right...i think we should just ignore all of them? but then if we do...they'll just keep asking and asking and asking...hm, i wonder what would be the best way to let EVEYRYONE know...i guess there isn't a solution for this huh? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Is anyone having trouble disconnecting from Google Voice. For example, when I mistakenly dial a contact and try to disconnect, the end button simply puts my phone to sleep while the call still initiates. Not until after it connects does it hang up.

Does not do this without Google Voice. Maybe it is a GV problem, but don't remember it doing that before.

Any comments?
[G1 Android Development] All~G1:
Maybe I haven't used bookmarks since 1.5, but I'm thinking that the browser tabs that everyone is trying to find is in bookmarks. There is a bookmark section, Most Visited and history section, all tabbed. It may have been there since 1.5, but its new to me :)

so..problem fixed. i turned my off for 10 minutes and restarted it. Now everythink works fine again.

[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:

[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I'll take a look at YouTube when things quiet down at work.

Not sure what's invoking SystemUpdater. I'll have to dig around. Yeah, I removed it entirely and want to replace it.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Aren't you the one that bricked your phone supposedly?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Regarding an OTA updater..

I have tons of server-side resources, no problems there.

I'd like to have it integrated like SystemUpdater is, where it's just a simple preference on your "About phone" menu with the same kind of functionality.
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Yup... that's what I was thinking too. :D

Is this possibly the Weather Bug notification up top? Mine is loading fine with this ROM, but I wonder if maybe yours is stuck.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Is there any more to this log? This is suspicious behavior. There is NO reference to systemupdater in the checkin service, but yet it's being called. I hope this doesn't mean that Google can execute arbitrary code on our devices.

I have the checkin service disabled so I'm not seeing this :)
[G1 Android Development] cigar3tte:
Noticed an issue with 3.6.8.1 (had it on 3.6.7.x as well), that I'm not sure if it's due to the ROM. Basically, when my Alarm goes off, if the phone is in sleep mode, it will only show the lock screen, not the Snooze/Dismiss menu screen. If I hit Menu button to unlock the screen, it goes to snooze.

I've had to keep the phone awake (after snooze) when the alarm is about to happen in order to hit Dismiss.
[G1 Android Development] :
No nothing more Info

can this be trash from an older build?I havent wiped a long long time :)))
[G1 Android Development] The Spirit:
does this rom support a linux-swap partition besides a fat32 and a ext3 partition?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Not automatically. You need a userinit.sh script to enable it.
[G1 Android Development] :
can this be the problem?

i looked in

/data/data

and there is still a folder com.google.android.systemupdater.
[G1 Android Development] The Spirit:
is it usefull to do so, or do you recommand to only use a fat32 and a ext3 partition?
[G1 Android Development] hamshu:
You might like using Compcache better. Compcache doesn't wear your card down as much as a swap partition.
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Are you sure about this?

From what I have been reading the swap-partition does not effect your card as much as a swapfile or compcache would.

Then again the wear is minimal and the card will still last 4-5 years.

Love the details.

I wish he could a put stop button in the address bar like in Hero...I hate accidentally clicking a link then having to go thru menus to get it to stop (mostly too late, else it leaves a blank page).
[G1 Android Development] Paul22000:
Aye, that's always been there.

Anyone figure out how to activate the new feature yet?

(Or what it does?)

[Edit]:

That's also been there for a long time.
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
What you mention has been in there since 1.5. It was one feature I missed when testing out Hero, as HTC just had visual bookmarks and not the most visited and history.

I think a post near the time of the ROM release mentioned more on it, but I can't find it right now. Might have mentioned a tie-in to some of the new security features?

That would be a nice feature!

Speaking of browser features... I hate how you come back to the browser and it re-renders the page. Sometimes, I leave the browser (i.e. to take notes or look at something), and it would be nice to just come back to the browser and look at the previous rendered page without waiting for it to refresh. That would help make Cyanogen's ROMs even faster.

Compass

Hey might be something that just is me, but does anyone have a compass that is wrong? On the normal build (ADP 1.5) everything was right, but i just checked it with 3.9.4, it was totally wrong. Hadn't notice it before, reverted back to 3.9.2 and have the same problem.

Maybe it's just me, i will check again outside tomorrow where there are no metal obstacles... (i checked my compass with a real one, was totally wrong)

The rest works flawlessly, with some minor bugs who are already reported on the thread... I've reflashed to 3.9.2 again, wait for a stable experimental (what's more, experimental or stable?:D) when dark hero theme is compatible.

Also, back on my earlier question. What about multitouch? Only browser currently works with it, planning on more programs that work with this amazing feature (although, as said, not as responsive as iPhone;))?

Some apps are force closing.. but a reinstall fixes them.

However I flashed 3.9.3 before and now 3.9.4 and in both of them the HTC soft keyboard (Touch Input) keeps force closing whenever I press a button on it. it pops up but pressing a key on it will force close it...

The cupcake keyboard works. but the HTC keyboard is much better.
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
If that fails try the gsensor reset trick posted in the cyanogen stable build thread
[G1 Android Development] machuidel:
I just wiped, formatted the ext3 partion on my sdcard and installed CM v3.9.4.

Now I cannot get the Superuser Permission application to work. It starts with a black screen and hangs (after a while it force closes). The same when trying "su" in the Terminal Emulator (which I had to install from the marketplace).

Also tried turning on/off USB debugging without succes. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Everything else seems to work fine.

Update:

Okay. I reinstalled CM v3.9.4. Disabled my userinit.sh. Still the same problem :(

Also. When the system finished booting the battery was at 90%. 5 minutes later it is at 85%.

Battery Life Test

My phone was purchased early December last year, meaning my battery is about 8 months old. The test method was simply playing music (no attached head phones) for two hours. There are only two applications running; music and battery graph. The battery was fully charged, then I unplugged the power and loaded both applications. At the two hour (5:33-7:33) mark, the battery declined 21% (100 to 79). The data below is the log produced by the monitoring program. I hope that this adds some perspectives...

Thanks.

Why yes...it is wrong. Big time.Hmmm. I tried searching for the g-sensor reset trick and couldn't find it? You got any specifics (a link would be dandy!)

EDIT: smacked it at the base (near the Jay Leno), made little difference. Streetview was askew too. Took it outside (away from my computer desk) and it works fine. Either the smack or change in locale made a difference.
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Thanks, but unfortunately most of my browsing is down with the slider closed. In hero, there was an "x" in the address bar that worked sweet (to bad the rest of the OS didn't).

Can the Hero browser be used, or are there all those pesky frameworks to worry about?

calendar sync

ever since 3.9.3 and on 3.9.4, my calendar will not complete a full sync. it will start, but never finish.

i used to have the quick calendar widget but then it started force closing all the time, thats when i upped to 3.9.3 and still had the problem. at that point, i uninstalled the widget and reflashed the ROM. still no go. a day later, 3.9.4 comes and i flash that, same issue.

i am not running a theme

i tried wiping, then flashing

ran fix_permissions

ran fix filesystem

i formatted (i think) my ext3 partition following these steps:

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

cd /system/sd

rm -r *

and flashed again and still can't update my calendar.

anyone else experience this? ideas?

Any link? Otherwise ill try to figure it out tomorrow...
[G1 Android Development] lightforce:
my bat is really bad on 3.9.4 as well

not even using my phone much today its already at 75% i only made like 2 short calls
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
How well does that work for you? By the time I can get to the hidden stop button, I usually end up with a blank page (especially if menu is slow to pop up). Not as quick as an on-screen stop.

Just a niggle...by no means a deal breaker (like I would go back to Hero). I just was wondering.
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Make sure you are not at your computer desk. Wifi and electronics in general are likely the culprit. It worked fine when I took it outside.

Popping it on the Jay Leno causes the G-sensor to reset. Go outside and try it.
[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:
acore still force closing

I removed all widgets from my screen and I'm still trying fc when I upgrade. Will the fix permission script fix it. Or do I have to wipe to upgrade?
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
And I don't care about the carefully compiled and empirically validated battery research some posit, this ROM is using the power more.

I have two batteries... I took the fully charged one out of my other G1 and put it into the one I am using. That was about four hours ago. With moderate to light use, I am down to 42%. That, in my opinion, is a marked depletion.

and just for ****s and grins, I put the battery in my other G1 (that has been running CM 3.8 for weeks) and it says 43%. Hows that for the scientific method~!
[G1 Android Development] uwonsum:
You will have to back this up with some facts. I don't have battery drain issues. And no, I don't work for Cyanogen...If I have issues, am not shy to put it out there so am not sure what you mean by "carefully compiled and empirically validated battery research."
[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
If thats the case then that kills my guess that the faster charging wasn't allowing a full charge. If you took a full battery out of a g1 running 3.8 (which seemed to have better power management) and it died just as fast then its not the battery itself.

Sounds like it 3.9.3/4 may not be sleeping properly
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
What kind of facts would you like, uwonsum? A log file of my running processes. I run light, with no widgets except calendar.

The only fact I can provide you, is that the battery calibration is likely spot on. If you want a long diatribe of my minute by minute usage....well, that's unlikely to be useful either. How many anecdotal reports do you need before logic dictates that the battery usage has probably increased. I have never had battery trouble before.
[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:
God Damn it its not that the Rom uses more power, since he changed the ish so it sucks out more power the battery doesn't charge fully so it drains faster. It looks full but its not. Faster isn't always better. Look at the change log and look at how much he uped it and check the ome charger and u will see what I mean
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Not really sure if it is eating the battery faster or not...I am merely pointing out two facts (as uwonsum would have it).

1. Fact number 1: My battery was fully charged at around 4pm

2. Fact number 2: CM 3.9.4 has accurate battery readings on my unit.
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
The back button sometimes doubles as a stop.
[G1 Android Development] dan0zone:
Wow your an arrogant little grasshopper ,, borderline ungrateful to ,,,

We need everyone who is experiencing battery drain to back it up with data so maybe help cayn.... fix it
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Perhaps.

But the fact remains that CM 3.8 read the battery as fully charged.

And the battery was charged by CM 3.8.

And I use a wall charger; I was under the impression that the fix only applied to USB charging.
[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
Yes I know the theory as I was the first one to bring it up. I still think its the most plausible, but IF a fully charged battery was taken out of a g1 running a rom without the charging speed-up and it still dies just as fast in 3.9.3/4 then it is not the charging that is the problem. That would completely take out charging from the list of variables as it was done in a phone not pulling extra wattage, leaving only software to be the cause.

I'm assuming the post from pinetreehater is accurate, and if anyone else can verify it (with actual test #s so people won't *%)#% about a lack of data) then it can't be the actual charge causing the problem
[G1 Android Development] webgrafix:
I have a strange issue going on with the new ROM (3.9.4)....

-I flashed it earlier after a fresh wipe.

-After the initial bootup (which went rather quickly)... It took longer than average for me to get a signal... which I finally got my 3G.

-But while using the phone I had numerous error making and/or receiving calls.

In frustration... I just wiped again... redownloaded the ROM... and am going through the setup.

**THIS TIME I CANNOT GET A "3G"!!! I do get "bars".**

Any ideas? See my sig for my radio. I have NEVER had this issues flashing any of these ROMS before.
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Exactly how am I being arrogant. OR ungrateful? I have provided the only standardized method of ensuring the battery readings are accurate, a least on my machine. MY point is, outside of testing on two identical machines with the same battery but different ROMs, there is no way to conduct research on battery drain. The reports will ALWAYS be anecdotal because so many variables affect the depletion rate. I am running the exact same programs on two G1s. I am not positive the battery is depleting faster, but it seems to be.
[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:

I actually did look at your post, and was going to see if I could offer advice. But I got off on the battery tangent.

However, your post is a bit unclear. I got that you're getting force closes. Everyone does (especially protected apps and certain others like weatherbug, google voice, and mobile defense). For some apps, you simply got to reinstall. Outside of that, if you could clarify just a little I will try to assist with my meager skills.
