Re: [PORT][3.22.x EBI1/32A]Cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1/5.0.7DS EBI1/32A Port [May 25]

Having some battery drain. Not sure the reason but i think its app use. Is normal a widget to use 1% of cpu right?

Pure widget uses tome 18%. Just killed and removed. I wanted pure but to get this drain is not good. Battery lasted only 9hours . Do you knows widgets wich give battery drain? We should make a list.

Bloo and weather toggle donate edition uses 1 to 2% os cpu. Is this normal? Are there better widgets for this rom? Thanks :)

The new radio is much better than the old radio. Im having some issues with it. I hoe one day this is ported to new radio even the experience is beeing great.

Suggestion, please include the 384mhz in the next kernel. According to set cpu default option as high cpu setting is 384mhz. I cannot set it since isnt included in the kernel. Thanks :)

Battery drain

I've battery drain problem too, and this is what I've found.

adb shell to device

# top -m 10 -t

User 79%, System 20%, IOW 0%, IRQ 0%
User 294 + Nice 15 + Sys 80 + Idle 0 + IOW 0 + IRQ 0 + SIRQ 1 = 390

PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name

112 41% S 48 179128K 35284K fg system system_server
457 7% R 1 904K 376K fg root top

Found that com.android.email is eating up the CPU. I kill "Email" process using Autokiller. CPU usage went down to acceptable level.

Selecting "Email" from drawer again starts this process. Strange enough CPU doesn't shoot up as before.

User 2%, System 5%, IOW 0%, IRQ 0%
User 8 + Nice 0 + Sys 19 + Idle 297 + IOW 0 + IRQ 0 + SIRQ 0 = 324

284 0% S 24 127424K 30056K fg app_57 com.rs.autokiller

I'm still getting mail sync. Keeping finger crossed, see how battery will perform.:rolleyes:

This is just a temporary patch. "Email" process will eat up CPU again after rebooting. Hope some dev can help to locate root of problem.

UPDATE: :( no luck. battery dropped by 20% over the night. SetCPU to 122max. I've sync on though.

Re: [PORT][3.22.x EBI1/32A]Cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1/5.0.7DS EBI1/32A Port [May 25]

Sorry to say but radio reception is not beeing very good with me. Im having lots of problems with signal when speaking with someone. Also passing by alot of times saying that the sms wasnt sent. Any sugestions? Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jgcaap:
just back to my home pc. After using for 1 day i must say that battery life is a issue. I really dont know what is. I've been monitoring all the apps. to see if there was any CPU change. Is LauncherPro responsible for battery drain?

In almost 13 hours the battery was reduced from 100% to 24% . My settings at SetCpu are:

Usualy have only 2G signal in order to save battery.

Sleepmode 128 as minimum and maximum. In normal use is 528 as Maximum and 245 as minimum ( i tested for 5 hours with 352 Mhz as maximum , anoying that the performance wasnt very good so i changed back).

Stock of new radio roms, have as default 480Mhz as minimum and 528Mhz as Maximum for what i saw in SetCPU last time i used the Sense UI 1.5 Stock by cursordroid. IT lasted me around 1 day and like 10 more hours with same use as this time.

I would request higly some opinion about this, so that i may know what to do in order to have a better battery life.

I used around 3 hours of music daily, near 30 min of internet (it varies according to my needs). Phone Calls (around 1 hour at max). Some text messaging. And 20-40 min of playing games and checking apps for fun entertainement (This i dont do daily but since was todays use i leave here) .

Also noticed as stated above about the Signal reception (reception is in maximum but call gets lost easily compared to a normal ROM and new radio (not sure if is only new radio)). Is alot worst than usual. I dont know the reason. But with sense ui worked perfectly well.

I think these are the most important issues wich must be dealt with in my opinion and i hope next release will be accounted.

Battery life and signal reception or if you can help, and sorry if this is not a issue of the rom, a possible solution.

Thank you!

Till now in 3 hours 11% of battery used. how about you with normal launcher? (defenetly better, a launcher isssue there must be a way to fix surely but still to much battery wasted. Almost used nothing of the phone)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PremierITA:
After 8h in standby, battery drains = 8% without LauncherPro.

It could be better, i need to detect another sucker process.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jgcaap:
Hello. i've been doing more testing. Battery is better. Happens that ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro causes battery drains. Reason is unkown but i'm going to email the responsibles about it. I've used with the normal launcher as default for around1 hour GPS+ 3G+Google Maps Screen on at 528Mhz, battery only lowered around 6% with a chinese battery replace (wich i'm also testing). Wich came to realise that ROM itself is well enought programed to work everything well as default. I would like to have that launcher for sure. Is cute, fun and stylish. Surely there must be something wich can be done :) Perhaps lower the options ? not sure. I hope to receive an email soon . Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] amarkovits:
still problem with the battery

in my case the problem is caused when the phone should sleep.

the email apk doesn't let my phone sleep properly (when in sleep in spare parts it shows that is was running because the email apk is causing Partial Wake)

i have an exchange account in the email apk. i disabled the autonotification for this email account and i'm testing it now.

The SMS there should be a option where we input a limit to the message conversion between SMS and MMS.

At nokia i had 1000 characters , wich were around 8 SMS at once (and now i can only send 3 in max) wich i could send all together in just 1 message, and is quite anoying that he converts automaticly to MMS option. Its very expensive here in portugal do send as MMS, and not eveyrone here has a phone wich is capable of reading MMS.

Do you think it is possible? Where should i post this request? Thanks

Also there is a issue with this rom. When i press to shutdown , he restarts alone. Does anyone know the reason?

If you want it configurable you might need to move it back to java (out of xml) and then add a setting for it. I may give it a try, eventually.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Sorry, my answer was pretty cryptic. I basically said you need to edit an XML and recompile - which was a stupid suggestion, so I apologize.

Regardless, i made the SMS->MMS threshold configurable. There is a limit that I'm not sure how to get past, though. Basically, with 71 characters remaining in the 7th SMS the text box stops accepting characters. So basically, you get 6*153+(153-71) = 1000 characters in that box. I will look for the limit though...

Battery issue when no cell. signal

Hi,

I've used various 5.0.7/5.0.8 test roms in the last weeks and now use the final 5.0.8 (which is real great!) on my HTC Magic/Sappire 32A. With all these roms, I experience a serious battery drain issue as soon as I lost cell. signal, which happen each week, when I go to my summerhouse. To avoid the drain issue, I just have to activate the flight (plane) mode. Am I the only one with this problem and is there any know solution?

anyone with info regarding the new bluetooth tethering? How to set it up? I can't seem to figure it out with my phone and windows xp.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I got both DUN and PAN Bluetooth tethering working under Mac OS X. You have to enable 3G and tethering BEFORE pairing the phone with your mac, otherwise, the bluetooth profiles for those services won't show up. After pairing you're of course free to enable/disable then as needed.

Bluetooth PAN seems to work perfectly, however obtaining IP from the phone is a tad slow.

Bluetooth PAN seems to connect, but there won't be any packet flow.

USB tethering doesn't work at all.

Thank you very much. Is not a bad suggestion, i also have to learn hehehe :) I'll try your link now

The limit of 8 sms ,is possibly the operator limit, on nokias is samething. after 1000 characters is considered an MMS.

To get past that it must be used the method of breaking SMS in another part.

I cant find those files on my android haha xD problably i must do something else. Still investigating.

PS: wich program you use for editing the files? I opened with notepad++ cause i presume you got this from mms.apk (extracted the file, and there is the preferences.xml and when i open is encripted )

still trying further :)

Hello bcrook, when phone is in standby, i have battery drain issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I think there is an ongoing issue in the CyanogenMod bugtracker. There is something about the 32A that is causing problems for some. I, sadly, dont have the skills to fix it so we will have to wait for someone much smarter than me.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DionBurger:
For all you guys with battery drain issues, download "System Panel" app from market (Pro Version). Its a excellent tool to monitor your CPU/Battery usage per app/time etc. It solved my draining issues within a day! Just enable monitoring and see which apps are eating the energy - easy as that.

The battery drain issue is not the ROM - its the apps that misbehaves or are incompatible with the particular ROM build and after extensive research, its not any particular app but various for that matter. Best is to use Titanium backup (also a excellent app) and do a clean install - restoring your everything in a snap. Start from there and kill off the remaining apps that prevents the phone from going into suspend (by keeping an eye on System Panel monitoring). Usually you only have to disable the refresh/notification function of the guilty app.

Believe me - I had just as many headaches as you guys with battery drain - this is the only way as every person will have a different reason for it - as you may have gathered already...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wjsturgis3:
Or it could be the battery.

Last evening I my battery was about 74%. When I got up this morning it had powered down with a dead battery. I had installed System Panel Pro and the battery history showed a drop from about 72% to 0 in about 45 minutes with NO accompanying cpu activity. I recharged the battery and am waiting to see if this happens again. This was the first time I have seen anything like this. I bought the phone used 8 months ago, I think it was new about 13 months ago.

In the meantime I have ordered a new battery via eBay.

Update: Must have been a ghost. Sailed through the night, down to ~73% in 20 hrs.

It's kinda complicated =)

In portugal, the "vodafone" Magic is actually a PVT32A. It's still branded as HTC magic but vodafone put some letering on it, a custom splash (and god knows what else --I ran it for less than a day :D ). Not sure if the 32B ones are vodafone branded instead of simply having the letering

There are probably other countries in the same situation.

The best way is to check on hboot for the board version.
