battery drain

Is it just me or does 4.2.9.1 drain the battery WAY faster than 4.2.8?
[G1 Android Development] psionicx:
yea i went to 4.2.9.1 from 4.2.6 on my Magic 32A and i notice that too

Feedback from the developer: Handcent SMS & CM 4.2.9.1

So I've asked the Hancent dev to clarify the issues of the app with the current CM release (posted this a few pages back).

I got some feedback today, the application got updated, and he asked you guys with troubles to update the app and give them some feedback.

PLEASE DON'T POST FEEDBACK HERE.

As far as I see, the application works (both old and updated version).

Make a comment in the Market, or email the developers at: admin@handcent.com if you wish to help. Thank you! :)

Lag on the native messaging app

I tried searching but did not find anyone else having my problem... since last update 4.2.9.1. When i switch to the android native messaging appg i get this long lag before i get to the messaging main menu. it also happens when i read a message and i hit back to go back to the main messaging menu.
[G1 Android Development] Metalazzo:
Thank you. Indeed, the answer is in the topic.

Let's say it was late when I asked :p
[G1 Android Development] taumax:
Same here. I went from 4.2.8.1 to 4.2.9.1 and immediately noticed my battery draining super quick. Would see the battery lever drop 1%/minute.

I went back to 4.2.8.1. I'm hoping the battery issue gets fixed in the next release.
[G1 Android Development] mr2t32:
google talk.

Updated to 4.2.9.1 from 4.2.8.1 and I noticed I couldn't make any calls or sent sms. I get an error message saying cannot connect to server. Anyone else having this problem?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Try reflashing but wiping first.
[G1 Android Development] student.driver:
I just went back to 4.2.8.1 with the BFS-311 kernel, and it's much more usable. Will see if the next ROM returns to this speed.
[G1 Android Development] PorchSong:
It is questionable if I should post this here, but after searching around and following various threads, I never quite found definitive answers as to how things work after mashing all the tweaks together. So, this is a FYI more than anything and did not see a better place to post. For those of you wanting to "pimp" your system and was wondering how the phone works after doing so, here goes (links are all in my signature):

Phone: T-Mobile MT3G

SPL: Haykuro 1.33.2005 (upgraded from stock 1.33.0006)

ROM: Cyanogen 4.2.9.1

Recovery: Amon RA 1.3.2G

Hacks: BFS-311 with 10mb ROM Hack (you can install BFS or CFS without 10mb ROM hack too).

SD Card: 3 partitions - Fat32 for storage, ext4 for programs, linux swap 64 megs

Compcache: Disabled

Linux Swap: Enabled via user.conf - Not using Linux swap file, Using Linux Swap Partition with Swappiness at 30 (You can also use user.conf program from Market to set up your file.)

Virtual Memory: Enabled

CPU: Using SetCPU 245/528 with up_ threshold at 30

LockScreen: Stericson for CM 4.2.9.1 (recompiled on last page of thread)

Sound Files: Cyanogen Audio Resources stored on SD Card

Theme: NONE -- only tweak/mod I am not using.

I also moved my Browser cache to sd card via tautility from market.

With this set-up my phone is extremely stable and fast. I have 80+ apps loaded too. All the issues I see reported in this thread I am not experiencing, and I have pretty much all those apps loaded (I even try to reproduce these errors).

Now, I do go the extra mile on upgrading. I do a bart/switchrom back up before loading or upgrading new rom. I do not CM update automatically--I download and drop the image into root of sd card and do all from recovery. Once in recovery, I:

1.) check ext for errors,

2.) wipe dalvik cache,

3.) install updated rom.

4.) reboot all the way. (when you wipe your dalvik cache and have a lot of apps on sd card, it can take up to 10+ minutes on "android" screen before phone loads up--as long as it is animated, wait it out).

After reboot and letting the system settle in for a few minutes, I reboot back into recovery and run "fix uid mismatches" + "check ext for errors" and reboot. Lastly, once system is back up and settled again, I drop into terminal and run: su + fix_permissions. If all is working well, I make a bart/switchrom image and wait for next upgrade.

This is an incredibly long way around updating, but after playing fast and loose with earlier upgrades by just simply upgrading and having to start from scratch a few times--taking up half the day reloading all applications and restoring databases--I decided taking an extra 10-15 minutes is well worth the effort.

The ONLY negative aspect of my set-up is the ROM hack does not play well with 3D games--but I don't really play any 3D games on my system so no big deal for me, but might be a deal breaker for others.

Again, phone is very fast and stable--best set-up I have ever put together.

Google Maps My Location shows incorrectly

I am having huge problems with the Google Maps on CM 4.2.9.1. My Location is totally off and shows me in a total different county about 50 miles away. I cannot get it to lock.

I am using,

Amon Ra 1.5.2 with CM 4.2.9.1

TMobile G1 with Danger SPL
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
RAM hacks? CPU hacks? Really? Are they necessary?

I don't have any of the problems reported, and I just flash (call me fast and loose.) If you have to do all of this to get your phone to run stable, there are other issues. Your process and mods are overkill.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Mine does that too...When I don't have the GPS on. Using radio only, it puts me about 2.5 miles west. With wifi on, it puts me 45 miles north and east (where my ISP originates.) Turning on my GPS gets me sitting in my front room chair.
[G1 Android Development] :
I have to agree, don't get why people need all this extra crap, my phone runs like a charm without them and I'm not stressing the phone and no doubt shortening its shelf life.

Seems some people think saving a nano second here or there is worth screwing there phone up.
[G1 Android Development] ThePhaige:
I seem to have lost both Google maps and Facebook completely after updating the rom and when I try to reinstall them I get a unsuccessfully installed notice and a compatibility error.

I been searching and cant seem to find a solution...any help?
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I would think upgrading that class 4 SD to a class 6 would make more of a difference than anything else he is doing. Probably save him about 4 seconds on the reflash.

How to disable the the "Press Menu to Unlock" screen? My Garmin Nuvi with bluetooth doesn't like that screen! Need it to be unlocked to dial :P

I'm guessing that's the launcher but I don't know how to disable it..

and yeah I'd be using the navi (since it works and I updated to the market version), but I don't have 3G here and need voice and nav! Seems like these gps units are behind though, the phone gps was right on me, on these things it says I've yet to make the turn I had made 2 seconds earlier lol
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
You cant disable that, but it wont be there when you power off the phone.
[G1 Android Development] Trek55:
Just wondering, so what's the different this ROM and one that WS release? which would you prefer?
[G1 Android Development] PorchSong:
Wow. You have seemed to utterly and completely miss the point of my post.

First, by even being in this thread and loading CM Mods means you are experimenting, thus the argument you expressed applies to you as well since you are not on stock. Second, these are experimental ROMs, so trying out different configs only helps the end results. Third, this is a hobby for me, so tweaking is entertaining. Fourth, don't be so uptight--back away from the ledge, it's going to be all right. If you don't want to experiment, then move along. I stated this was an FYI. But I guess you find one in every bunch. I bet you would have been that Dude who would have told Chuck Yeager he was a fool for trying to break the sound barrier. Yawn.
[G1 Android Development] Nedlinin:
Some people us their phones for much more than others. I find myself needing the extra RAM given by the RAM hack.

Then why are you in this thread?
[G1 Android Development] reyderosquillas:
k well.. does any one know a way around it or how to disable it / remove it? Obviously it's not there if the phone is off, lol why would you even say that?

[G1 Android Development] wyseman76:
Still wondering if there is a fix for the excessive and very random programs self initializing in the background. On first boot up there is usually about 20+ apps on and running in the background. Mi install is completely clean and fresh, new partition all wipe, HTC.img then current CM mod.

dialer is laggy

=(

the dialer is kinda laggy... it takes a few seconds for the dialer to recognize that i typed a number... and if i type the number too fast it misses a number or 2
[G1 Android Development] :
You'll find this on alot of roms, I use a advanced task killer to help kill them and keep the phone running crisp.
[G1 Android Development] flarbear:
I didn't read his post that way at all.

He was saying "I have a very advanced configuration with quite a number of hacks and mods. And yet, in spite of all of that hacking and modding which may make you think I would be running into lots of problems - quite the contrary, in fact my phone is still stable. And here is how I do it."

You seem to be thinking that he is suggesting loading all of those mods in order to get a stable phone, but it is the opposite. He's giving some advice on a particular procedure to follow when upgrading for people who are having trouble. And to prove the success of the procedure he is showing that it works for him even despite the fact that he goes a bit further than most on here.

The hacks are for performance - he's not recommending them for stability. It's the way that he applies them that he is recommending for stability.

Personally I don't apply anything more than just the Cyan mod and his supplementary ringtone pack and I'm fairly stable myself. But, if I ever ran into some instability I would look back to his post and take his advice and try re-flashing using his procedure to see if it fixed the problem. So, I'm happy that he posted how he keeps even his fairly advanced configuration stable.

And, if I ever feel the need to try some of these add-on mods for more performance or more capability or for whatever reason, I now feel just a little bit more confident that I could still have a stable system if I am responsible about how I go about it since he can remain stable even with more mods than I'd ever want to use.

sorry i have a silly question Do G1 support videocall???if G1 can use videocall,how can i use it?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
PorchSong, I'll just ignore the remarks you responded to and say, thanks for posting that, was about time someone repeated it, because (for the bazillionth time) this thread started turning ridiculous again.

I'm thinking a little good-CM-practice review didn't hurt anyone.. probably will help many, because the info YOU posted is ACTUALLY USEFUL.

Maybe a little redundant, and a lot of it can be automated (so it doesn't even take much longer than "flash+fix_permissions").

Also, there may be some sense in running fix_permissions from both the ROM and the recovery. People are forgetting (especially those with AmonRa's recovery) that the two scripts are different.

Didn't anyone notice the speed at which Kastro's v2.03 works?

AmonRa uses Kastro's latest:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=14

last few comments as of now....

Running fix_permissions from the ROM terminal should suffice. Running both together.. bingo! Seemingly, much more of a bingo if you ran recovery first, and CM's second, if you catch my drift. I have evidence to prove this BTW:D

But seriously now, I believe running the CM one alone, should be good and stable.

(Right, Cyanogen?)
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
You're using the 10MB RAM hack and Swap, right?

Seems that the newest kernel and other patches posted by cyanogen make things as they used to be on previous builds.. So, yeah, the processes will still start, but from what I saw on my phone, it only happens on startup (not counting child and background proc. of course).

Since you have so much available RAM/VM, upon boot it gets filled up with more crap then mine for example (though my SWAP is 96megs). The trick is I guess, to swapon "on click".. I use gscript for that. Basically I'd wait for the system to boot, then switch on swap partition. I don't get many apps running in the background this way. Those that are running, seem to be only the ones I started myself.

P.S. Somebody correct me if this all is just an insane coincidence, but i don't see much difference, really...
[G1 Android Development] mrkev150:
This release (4.2.9.1) looks very polished and refined when first looked at, but as you use your device you see little bugs and often things that make some features unusable.

Force closes during Market installs and the camera. Music apps stopping (streaming, or from memory card) when multitasking. Screen brightness unresponsive with various apps (the flashlight and tv.com for example). Syncing errors with google applications. Maps gps location errors.

I am a big fan of cyanogen's roms, but this seems much like a beta test run than an actual release due to many new codes implemented. Especially the eclair implementations. Going back to 4.2.8.1 because everything is fully functional, except that music going off every once in a blue moon. Keep up the good work and I hope these issues are addressed and fixed in the next release.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
The best you can do is (I guess) to prevent the device from going to sleep. You can achieve this in two ways:

1. Set Screen timeout to 'Never' in Display settings. Then use the power widget to dim the screen all the way (hence max conserving the battery).

2. Have your phone plugged into a power source (car lighter perhaps??). In Applications->Development, check Stay awake.

Not perfect, but the only two workarounds that cross my mind...
[G1 Android Development] :
Short answer no as there is no forward facing camera.
[G1 Android Development] Mickey G:
Please don't tell me that...the last few (since the Eclair kernel was introduced?) have been killers for my battery life.
[G1 Android Development] patinsane:
I definitely noticed a substantial difference in speed when I upgraded to 4.2.9.1, it runs slower and feels sluggish. Scrolling and just everyday tasks felt clunky. I did a nandroid restore back to 4281 and it feels much better, and recently threw in the BFS, worth it for the extra 10 megs.

Waiting for the next one too
[G1 Android Development] Acecalibur:
Well my phone is officially dead....well not dead, more like paralyzed from the Nand down. Ever since 4.2.8 my phone has been constantly rebooting on random occasions.

At first it wasn't that big of a deal. But then it got worse and worse, until it got to the point where I had to take the battery out and put it back in over and over, to even get it to boot. Sometimes I would actually make it to the home screen, but after 4 minutes tops, it would just go back to rebooting.

I tried 4.2.8.1 but that didnt fix it. I attempted to flash 4.2.9 & 4.2.9.1, but it was near impossible due to me having to take the battery out over and over from the freezing. And the random reboots/crashes interrupting recovery menu access and the home screen. Needless to say they didn't fix the rebooting.

I even tried to recover my nand backup that I had made before hand, but no such luck. SOMETHING in my G1 has been damaged beyond repair, and refuses to cooperate.

4.2.7.1 was the last firmware that worked, before the problems started. By some miracle I managed to flash that and it STILL wouldn't go back to normal.

My known options have been exhausted. My only choice now is to miraculously get a new G1 under my warranty. Not easy being that its been rooted. I'm still trying to think of ways to fix it...........
[G1 Android Development] patinsane:
Have you tried to grab a stock cupcake or donut dream image (.nbh file) from the net? That should throw your whole phone back to the way it was when you got it essentially.
[G1 Android Development] circusreject:
4.2.9.1 slow?

For what it's worth I find 4291 snappier and more stable than ever. I am running a mytouch with a 16gb class 6 with 500ext4 and 96mb swap (via a swapper app) and the 10mb memory hack. I've been onboard since 4231 and this is by far the most reliable rom for me. I havent had a random reboot yet, and music app and pandora stream perfectly to my bluetooth car receiver. There are a lot of apps that start at boot but with a task killer it really isnt an issue. Ive had ten browser windows open along with 8 widgets and IM client and no lags at all. So far, flawless, but i am crossing my fingers.
[G1 Android Development] AnDruid:
Indeed, one will upgrade SPL, Install 1.6 Dev Rom, Flash Cyanogen, EBI1 kernel patch and a theme, but will forget to turn on GPS before posting here. :rolleyes:

For those who might be facing the issue, I fixed it by unistalling Google Maps 3.3.1 update, checking that GPS lock works, then installed the updates again from the market (I am using plain Google Maps, no navigation hack). It started working.

I think the issue could have been some cached/corrupt info in the Google Maps data directory, which got cleared by uninstalling/installing. I remember a fix that ran along the lines of clearing up a directory in root partition or sdcard, but could not find it using forum search feature.
[G1 Android Development] Acecalibur:
Hmmm, nope hadn't thought off that. Anything's worth a shot at this point. Whatever it takes to get my phone working again. Thanks, I'll let you know if it works.
[G1 Android Development] merdely:
Back to 4.2.5

I've moved back to 4.2.5. 4.2.9.1 was just too slow. Slower than stock. So, I re-wiped following the "Full Update Guide - G1/Dream Firmware to CyanogenMod" Wiki page and installing 4.2.5.

This reminds me why I love CM ROMs so much. My phone is zippy as hell again.

I also installed the BFS with 10 MB hack boot.img.
[G1 Android Development] rialsi6:
Has anyone come up with a fix for the music and multitasking problem? Music still shuts off when i open my web browser or some of my other apps. Any suggestions will be great. Thx.
[G1 Android Development] psguardian:
also you could try the Revert to Stock - Dream (G1) section over on cyanogenmod wiki. depending on how far into the phone you can get right now.

~psguardian
[G1 Android Development] techbeck:
Where did you get teh 10mb memory hack at? Also what swapper app do you use?

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] reyderosquillas:
hey, thank you, I'll try this :)

It even might actually work with that lock screen.. it just takes 5 secs before anything happens on the phone.. I ended up calling a number like 20 times because of that LOL.. kept tapping it in the gps unit wondering why it wouldn't work. Luckily it added an extra "1" before the number so it never called anyone LOL!
[G1 Android Development] circusreject:
I have a swap partition that i enable after boot using the swapper app that is strangely not in the market anymore. A google search for swapper android will give u the app to download.

The memory hack is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566410

I used the BFS311.

I am wondering when the full eclair cyan rom will be coming?

ive had some problems with it. the icons disappear once in a while. my screen sleeps and it wont come back on by pressing the button for like 30 seconds. other problems here and there, but those two are the biggest issues
[G1 Android Development] Acecalibur:
Thanks. It's gonna take MULTIPLE attempts, but eventually the phone will boot up and run normally just long enough for me to mount USB, file swap, and then unmount before it reboots.

What is ur memory situation? Disappearing icons might be fixed by enabling home app to memory in spare parts.

same issue as i have seen stated before, cant multitask any app with the music app. just pauses it and closes it. :confused:

I had the same issues but they can be fixed without wiping :)

Go to settings -> applications -> manage applications -> Home Scrren (?) (German: Startseite) -> clear data

of course you have to reconfigure your Launcher but ...

Ok simple fix or hard fix

simple fix go into settings,applications,manage applications,market and click uninstall update

Hard fix wipe and reflash rom and dont use metamorph that is causing the market to break

i actually have it on home to memory

whats bizarre is that i thought my icons on all pages had been wiped clean, so i start replacing all the icons again, and like 5 min late all the icons reappeared, not only that, but the new replaced icons were on top of the icons before. i was simply able to jsut drag them to the trash and the old icons remained

Back to 4.2.5 until the issues with battery consumption are resolved. With WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and ActiveSync all disabled, my battery was dying in roughly 4 hours while idle and the phone was hot to the touch while I was on 4.2.9.1.

Something is farked.

This started happening in 4.2.9.1 for me and not before.

My update history thus far:

4.2.5 was flawless

4.2.6 introduced call drop bug (drops calls after ~2 minutes)

4.2.7.1 seemed to be markedly improved, but didn't use it long

4.2.8 call drop bug gone, but introduced music bug

4.2.8.1 no longer saw call drop bug, music bug still there

4.2.9.1 call drop bug gone, music bug gone, HUGE problem with battery drain

Sooooo, back to 4.2.5 I go until the issues that have plagued these so-called "stable" builds are gone.

Cyanogen, I am a developer myself (not phone stuff, but enterprise stuff), and I think you definitely need to move back to your 10:1 ratio of experimental to stable builds.

Your work will be much less tarnished if you acknowledge at release that your builds are not exhaustively tested, and your stable builds will be much more worthy of the term "stable".

That said, thank you for your continued work. I, like the others, am anxiously awaiting your first full-fledged Eclair build.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
for the record, my phone's not farked, and i'm running the latest build. my phone has NEVER been farked because of one of his builds. My battery was dying just like yours and it was bad, and needed to be replaced. The ONLY bug i am still experiencing is adding songs to a playlist while bt is enabled. If your phone is farked, it's because of what you did to it, not cyanogen.
