I have enjoyed using this rom from the beginning, but I feel that I'm going to have to revert to something else, or an older Cyanogen rom. No one seems to talk about the horrible battery life (I guess not everyone is experiencing it).

There was a time, on the stock battery, I was lasting from morning to midnight; now I am dead by 3:00 pm.

I have tried everything I can think of. I even bought a new 1400mah battery and am trying to train it as I am posting this. At first the new battery got me to 6 pm but performance seems to be degrading as bad as my stock now. It seems my battery charges fast, but also dies fast (maybe the OS capping charges too early, but I can't turn my phone off every time to recharge it, and I am not certain yet this is the problem either).

There has to be something wrong, but no one wants to talk about it or address it (or maybe people just have no idea). Sigh...I love the innovation that Cyanogen is putting into this rom, but a phone that I can't use when I need it sadly isn't a phone I want. I hope one day this issue can be resolved. Who knows maybe it isn't the rom at all but my phone. If anyone has any insight into a way to make battery life reliable on this rom, please let me know. :(

Alas, it didn't like what I had installed on JF's rom, so I had to wipe. I made no back up, so let that be a lesson to you others out there. Back up using nandroid from the recovery image!! This is a definate step up form JF's work though, kudos.
[G1 Android Development] BeHarsh:
Boot time or did I do something wrong?

I installed 4.0.2 to my already rooted myTouch today. I reformatted my spare 1GB sd card to put the new update.zip on it. I opened the recovery console (1.5 I think) and installed the update. It didnt seem to work the first time, so I rebooted and wiped all the info and tried the update again. Now after I rebooted it is hanging on the vodafone splash for a very long time and I'm curious what I need to do.

I originally rooted my phone from this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=547133

Do I need to upgrade something else first before applying the 4.0.2 ROM? I really like the features mentioned in the Cyanogenmod ROM so I'm hoping to get it on my phone asap. Thanks for any helpful replies in advance!! Once I get it installed I will surely buy Cyanogen a beer or two :P
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
"This rom" doesn't give us much info to try and help you with! Need specific info. There WAS a battery issue that seems to have been put to bed now in later roms. If you aren't running 4.0.2, get it!
[G1 Android Development] 4treyu:
Not experiencing it, actually my battery life was shorter with every 3.9.x version before 3.9.8.
[G1 Android Development] facelessuser:
Yeah, I have 4.0.2. I can't pin point which rom my battery started to go south on me, but it has seemed to have spanned a good amount of roms now.

I thought maybe my battery just had bad cells, but my new one isn't doing much better now. I am sure something is draining, causing it not to charge fully, or reading empty to earlier.

I have tried to look for processing using excessive CPU, but have found none.

I have tried rebooting after charging at 100% (forgot where I heard that, someone had a theory).

I have tried retraining my battery numerous times.

I bought a bigger battery (not much bigger) and am now getting crappy life with it as well.

When the issue started, it was immediately after a rom flash, like the battery status got messed up, or something was draining it; been having issues ever since that rom (wish I remembered which one it was). I used to leave location and gps enabled and the battery lasted all day, or at least most of the day, now I am disabling everything, not using my phone as much as possible, and still the battery is tanking. Made one short phone call today, and dead by 3 PM.

It is very frustrating. I guess posting about was my last ditch effort to see if anyone had any miraculous info.
[G1 Android Development] facelessuser:
I meant his series of roms. It was just a generalized statement saying I have enjoyed Cyanogen's work from the beginning.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
d/l setcpu from the applications forum and then you can play around with the cpu speed settings.

these roms are tweaked more for performance than battery life.

I personally carry a spare battery in my wallet so I'm not very concerned with battery life.
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
I've always experienced bad battery life after a new Rom install. A few days of charging and using it always seemed to work it self out. Now when you say bad battery life is your phone dieing or is just the batter meter saying your low? There is a difference because the OS seems to recalibrate its self to the battery after a few charges and running it through a fresh turn on and used all day.
[G1 Android Development] facelessuser:
Yeah, maybe I will play with that some more. I already removed (I hope) the overclocking in my user.conf file, but maybe I need to verify it is doing what was intended.
[G1 Android Development] facelessuser:
I used to experience that too, and it used to always work itself out. I have seen on occasion a battery charge hang on 2% a long time but drop from 90% to 80% quite fast.

In short though, yes my phone turns off. It seems this new 1400mah battery did great at first, but is reaching low power faster the more charge cycles I do. I am trying to retrain it again and see if that gives me good mileage again.

I'm having the same issue with my G1 thats running CRC1. Both 3.9.11 and 4.0.2 just sit at the "T-Mobile G1" splash screen after flashing the ROMs. It never boots. I can restore to a backup and it works fine with the CRC1. They are the only two ROMs I have ever attempted.

I have searched around but haven't found a solution. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] BeHarsh:
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently re flashing the RA ROM I originally put on my myTouch until a solution is found. I tried updating my recovery console to Cyanogens one to see if that would work correctly with his ROM but no luck. I was unable to flash it and boot it on my phone, but I could fastboot it ok and it supposedly installed the Update.zip (CR 4.0.2) but still got stuck on the Vodafone splash.

So reflashing the sappimg right now to reinstal RAv1.2.0H I guess.....

There is a beer in it for Cyanogen still for ANYONE who can solve this issue :)

EDIT: I reflashed the sappimg and when my phone restarted Android booted!! I think it booted the old stable version of CyanogeMod since that was the last thing I tried to flash thinking 4.0.2 wouldnt work possibly. I am now flashing 4.0.2 and trying to boot it, and if it wont again going to redo sappimg again in hopes it fixes whatever is going on here.

Moral of the story: Keep your goldcard in tact!!!!

EDIT2: Ok so I feel like a noob. Didnt realize that sappimg installed a different version of android on your phone so you can upgrade.... 4.0.2 didnt work directly after installing sappimg either, so I'm stuck again. Going back to RAv1.2.0H again.
[G1 Android Development] Scarface 2k3:
This "seems" a bit out of my league :confused: I don't fully understand how to install it. All I want is the option to add/remove home screens, does any one know if this will be added back at any time?
[G1 Android Development] AntiNSA:
This rom is awesome. Comimng from the dudes.... my stock battery used two be only 5 hours cahn now do 2 days...
[G1 Android Development] student.driver:
Ditto. I had 4.0.1, had some issues and went back to 3.6.8.1. That was a ROM that loved its battery life. :) Today I noticed that with a fair amount of phone usage (browsing, Bloo, MMS, GPS, etc) with everything enabled, I'm at 74% after 11 hours of use with the 2600mAh Seidio battery. With 3.x and JF, I'd be closer to 50% by now and 40% by the time I went to bed. I might go back to the stock battery with this ROM.

anyone having issues setting up their yahoo mail account using the mail app? i keep getting username or pw is incorrect but i know its right.

since i couldnt get the mail app to work i tried to login to yahoo mail from the browser. i get to the page where it says the browser is not compatible with the new yahoo mail layout and click on the link to go to yahoo mail classic layout. after that it looks like the page is loading but then the browser loads back the login page instead of my inbox.

i am running 4.0.2 on mt3g.

Hi all.. I have a question.. maybe answered here but.. 300+ pages.. :D So i am using this Rom and i'm very happy with it, but have a problem. Market enabler (the program that enables you to see paid apps in the market outside of "approved" countries) doesn't work. When i start it everything works, ask for su permition and says "done". But still no paid apps in the market. Anyone have idea why?

Fixing Browser Crash Issue after Upgrade

I had the same problem when I upgraded to 4.0.1. I found this solution elsewhere on the forum:

1. Go to Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications

2. Open Browser

3. Clear Data (Clear Cache too if needed)

That worked for me! No more browser crash problems.

Advanced Launcher not working in 4.0.2

I'm wondering if anyone can give a hand to the developer to identify what's different in the donut vs the cupcake (i.e. what changed from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 that might affect the Laucher.apk) Yeast vs soda?

It doesn't launch at all.

I'll add logcats from boots with both when I get that chance later today, but I thought there'd be a chance it was simple in the mind of someone who knows.
[G1 Android Development] killabytes:
You could always install a theme that has it included, or add it yourself to a theme or package of your choice and resign it then flash that package.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=541242 is one of the themes that has the launcher included.
[G1 Android Development] killabytes:
If you mean the advanced launcher, there's a new version for 4.0.2, I posted a link a page or 2 back.

Thanks, that seems to have helped a lot. ^^
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
In response to the no sound after a notification:

Re-flash the radio, the reboot.

That should fix the problem.

If it doesn't, then try using the Audiohack you can get off the market.

Select modification #2 of that hack for best results.

I had the same problem as you, and mine was corrected --I think-- with re-flashing the radio. But I also did the Audiohack as well, so that could be what fixed it. Not really sure. It could be the combination of both. But I think it simply requires the radio re-flash.

[G1 Android Development] Tripod87:
I'm trying to upgrade from JF1.42 to Cyanogen, but it keeps getting stuck at the Tmobile G1 boot screen.

I have the latest Radio and Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image. I flashed back to JF1.42 (from a custom theme) and then tried to flash to 4.0.2. Once it installed, it hung at the boot screen. Reflashed to JF1.42 and tried 3.6.8.1 and the same thing happened.

Could it be a problem with my SPL? I haven't touched it in a long long time. I have HSPL 10.95.3000.

Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.

Ive been away from my phone some time now kinda lost some touch but For some reason i am unable to see paid apps in the market, i did wipe a reflash again but issue still persist, i cant remember what the trick was to getting paid apps to show back up in the market place again. could someone fresh my memory.

but for now all i can say is WOW and you rock and my Dream thanks you! However i have one thing to point out , it may even not be ROM related but here it is: when i go to the Instant Messaging app then Windows Live Messenger , i put my login information then connect it will try to connect and then i get the message : "Sorry the MSN service cannot retrieve your phone number. Please contact your operator for help",it only happens when connected to 3G , WiFi works no problem.Now im not sure if it is a ROM problem or an APN problem or my provider problem (Rogers Wireless Canada).

Has anyone managed to login to dropbear yet via ssh?
[G1 Android Development] igashu:
There actually isn't really much. It has a few more options like a timer (and a nicer looking GUI for selecting the options) but the most frequently used justification I hear is that it has a "zoom" function. Unfortunately, digital zoom is essentially the same thing as no zoom at all since all it does is crop and enlarge -- you could get the same effect (or better) from taking an un-zoomed photo of more stuff and cropping out the part you like in Photoshop.

Actually, I rather miss the feature from the default Android camera to tag photos with GPS coordinates, which appears to be missing from the HTC camera. Just my two cents!

EDIT: What would be *really* useful, since the Gallery is the Camera's counterpart, is a modified Gallery that only watches specific directory trees for updated contents (user-selectable, a la Picasa) so it wouldn't end up littered with all the image assets and icons that various apps install on /sdcard ... a man can dream. ;)

Browser bug

@ cyanogen: I have a bug in the browser. here's the steps to reproduce:

1) running 3.6.7.1 w/ compcache

2) open Browser

3) navigate to Menu -> Go

4) type a few characters that match something in the browser history so autocomplete menu displays

5) observe autocomplete entries for "font" tags.

ex of bug:

MySpace Home
<font color="green">m.myspace.com/</font>

the browser is not parsing the tags correctly and is displaying them in the autocomplete list.
[G1 Android Development] lancealtar:
I can confirm this.
[G1 Android Development] ogwilson:
To add to the thread in a productive and meaningful manner:

'm running into a couple of bugs. That I've tried to contact Cyanogen about but im not sure if he has received them.

Firstly, the YouTube app will sometimes hang when accessing a video via a hyperlink or from the mobile youtube site, or if trying to watch a video accessed within the app itself. It'll either hang for a minute before playing, or completely force close. I have 67 megs free on internal so caching or anything like that shouldn't be the issue.

The force close issue in Market > Notifications has already been addressed, so I will no longer ask about that.

The final problem I have is that randomly my notifications for texts, emails, and other things will stop working. I usually have to reboot my phone and then the notifications popup right when the phone has started back up. I think this is also tied to my problem with not being able to download market updates/install certain apps, as it will hang at the "Downloading" phase until I reboot my phone (in which case, it'll either finish downloading or ill have to re-attempt the download).

Please let me know if anyone has these problems as well.
[G1 Android Development] raydekok:
going from 3.4.6 to 3.6.7.1 and camera is force closing all the time.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Interesting. I don't think this is a ROM issue though. I'll look for a patch.

These sound like Google issues to me, not specific to this ROM. Sometimes cancelling the market download and restarting it gets it going.
[G1 Android Development] theGchild:
It definitely makes searching difficult.

On-topic note:

I love the customization and speed of your ROMs, but can never get WiFi to work on my Ion. I've tried different spl's, different recovery img's, even pushing different wlan.ko files from working ROMs. I always end up back at nk's v4-full ROM as everything works. Any ideas as to why my WiFi is being so stubborn?

(Yes, I've done searches and understand that this is the dream forum.)

What about text and email notifications not appearing though? Ive never had this problem on other roms or the official one.

[G1 Android Development] Nedlinin:
Well, gave chkdsk a try and it returned no errors. Went ahead and put the card back in and still have the issue.

Tried reflashing and still no dice.

Any other ideas before I give it a wipe?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Not sure.. Are you actually getting the messages, just no notifications?
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
I think I figured out your problem because it just happened to me, when you found this out where you plugged into your computer via usb?, because I was and I had the same issue until I unplugged it and it went back to normal got all my ringtones back and everything, while I was plugged in I also got volume Force closing when in Settings/Sound & display but that also went away after unplugging usb.
[G1 Android Development] theGchild:
Does this have any affect on turning on the wifi? As my problem is that it is unable to even turn WiFi adapter on.
[G1 Android Development] ogwilson:
This is indeed the case. If I open GMail or Messaging apps, the messages are there. I had to have a friend call me to let me know they sent a text though because I hadn't thought to check without getting a notification.

PS: I haven't ran into the problem yet on 3.6.6, not sure if it could've just been a bad install on my end when i was doing it with 3.6.5, but ill make sure not to turn my phone off for the sake of seeing if the error will re-present itself.

[G1 Android Development] lancealtar:
I'm trying to avoid wiping. @cyanogen, would pushing the Camera.apk from 3.6.5 work? If it would, what are the step necessary to do that? Clearly, /system has to be rw, and it's currently ro. I tried adb push ./Camera.apk /system/app without success because of the ro filesys.
[G1 Android Development] igashu:
Perhaps it does it by default if available? I haven't checked, I just noticed the option wasn't in the menus.

Thanks, this worked, but now I'm having a few other issues. I can't seem to access the basic contacts or call log.

If I go from the dialer to contacts or call log, I get android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.

Also, my phone can't seem to synchronize properly. It has yet to synchronize despite the option being turned on. Any help on either of these issue?

Partitioning clarification

I'm a little confused by this.

First off, confirmed defect #56 I think.... got call and before I could answer they are leaving voice mail.

Second, and I decided to read through 30+ pages (lots of activity always when I am busy and can't keep up). :) so anywyas didn't see this issue.......

Anyone see when coming out of a locked screen that it doesn't unlock when hitting menu? I can stilll drag down notification, but even after moving notification back up I am unable to unlock. Have to choose from notification or wait.

Anyone experience that?? May be Nimbuzz performance issues which I have recently trying been trying out....

I think lots of people have been addressing it, and Cyanogen has been making som mods (I.e. battery charger, locater services) to help. Many messages and several threads so see why you may have missed it. (Check the experimental). Is still better than hero. Think it is core google related.

That said, I really think it may have been cupcake induced. A friend at google confirmed cupcake/donut memory leaks. I get anywhere from 8 to 16 hours, usuakly getting 13 or so before getting the 15% warning. Would love to get 24plus like some reported in early cyanogen days. 15 would work too. ;)

Okay, will catch up later......
