Man...You're on a mission with this battery issue aren't you? :D
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
ya... it really bothers me from a quality assurance standpoint that there is ZERO consistency
[Nexus One Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Yeah...weird. I lost a few apps. Didn't have any pictures to lose since I periodically upload them to picasa.

I don't have anything on the ROM except for the Nextheme.
[Nexus One Android Development] kitsunisan:
Well, my setup is basically stock cyanogen 5.0.6. I flashed a morph over it to get a black bar, a Desire morph updated to 5.0.6, but even if it was a bad morph, can't see this affecting rings extended. Thinking about wiping anyway, always good to start fresh every now and then.
[Nexus One Android Development] chowlala:
Then go away and stop asking questions about the battery life already! You're either in on CM or not! So just quit it or flash the damn ROM already and start contributing instead of waiting for everything to be perfect!

Nexus One owners are EARLY ADOPTERS! So are the people who flash all the ROMS like CM's and report back on stuff!

[Nexus One Android Development] Chosen_on184:
LO_oK the results for people with battery life will vary depending on usage and widgets and million other factors. So it's a hit and miss asking about battery life as someone might say it's great for them while another might say it sucks.. to each their own you just gotta mess with your settings and widgets etc and try to find the zenith for battery life you like
[Nexus One Android Development] dalingrin:
For me, in all the different roms and kernels I've flashed, I never saw a major difference in battery until I flashed CM 5.0.6. Then my battery life took a serious turn for the worse. After which, I flash persiansown's kernel and my battery life went back to normal.

My guess is that the above wouldn't have happened if I wiped prior to flashing 5.0.6.
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
Thanks for this, ill give this a try. (i think i can do the same thing in android commander no?

HelixLauncher2 (system) is different then the HelixLauncher2 thats a market app.

Also, if you followed the directions on the OP for helix launcher, you should have created a backup launcher2 on your computer, and you can re-push that back to your phone.

Unless you want to run the exact same programs, and use the phone in the exact same manner, you will never get consistency.

CM 5.0.6 and car dock

I may have a problem. see my post on the accessories forum. I think I cant post Hyperlinks yet...
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
Yeah battery life is MUCH worse with 5.0.6 (4/15/2010)

Hopefully it will be fixed in the next build. Everything else is amazing. So I can deal with it for the time being.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
When you say your battery life is much worse what were you getting on 5.0.5X versus 5.0.6?
[Nexus One Android Development] nathanzachary:
Is there anything wrong with flashing an older radio without then re-flashing the ROM? I have 5.0.6 installed, but I would like to go back to the previous radio to test it out. If I do revert back to the older radio, do I then need to re-flash 5.0.6? The only reason I ask is that if I WILL need to re-flash, I'll just wait until the next release. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] rjhay22:
Somehow I don't agree with this, I think this version of cyans ROM has the best batt life and best ROM compared to the previous versions.
[Nexus One Android Development] Harry454:
I donno if today randomly had phone fully charged, used for 5 hours, and used wifi tether for about 2 and half hours and battery died, but I assume thats normal because of wifi tether.
[Nexus One Android Development] prettyboy85712:
No issue with switching the radio. Use what works best.
[Nexus One Android Development] rjhay22:
You do not need to really flash ROM. Good luck and be careful though.

Bro, you crack me up sometimes :-p you are never satisfied with your battery and probably never will be for as long as you use the N1, typical problem with high end devices. By the way I am not flaming you or trying to insult you but I think you expect too much from this device in terms of batt life. :-(
[Nexus One Android Development] shaharhoch:
Cyanogen, why don't you add the desire camera application to your rom by default? it is far better than the default one.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Because the desire camera is HTC code. Cyanogen's rom is open source code.
[Nexus One Android Development] rjhay22:
Plus I still think the stock cam cyanogen has on the 5.0.6 ROM is better than the desire.
[Nexus One Android Development] SugarMouth:
For me 5.0.6 has better battery life than 5.0.3. The launcher is fast as well. Honestly this phone is VERY stable and FAST!
[Nexus One Android Development] distortedloop:
I disagree about the best battery life part, at least with the release version. I've noticed what "feels" like much worse battery life with CM_5.0.6.n1 than I had with any of the 5.0.6.testx versions.

I'm not complaining; it comes with the territory, and on stock-sized batteries with every smartphone I've owned since the Palm Treo, I've never been elated with battery life.

Anyways, if anyone's interested, I took screen caps of all the battery information screens just now and posted on PicasaWeb.

For reference, today I'm down to 46% battery life after 7 hours with what I would call "less than moderate" use (ie., only a one minute phone call, just a couple of minutes in the browser, no Market surfing, no games, etc, just some podcast downloads and listening to them mostly, along with some Google Voice text messaging). Screen time on was 57 minutes or so. I'm using 5.0.6.n1 and pershoot's kernel posted on 4/18/10. I am overclocked to 1113mhz.

Again, not complaining at all, I love the CM roms, just noticing that something in the latest release, compared to the three test releases, on my phone, battery life seems less. I'll also point out that I have not wiped the battery stats lately (last I did it last week when I went to 5.0.6.n1), and I haven't done anything really proactive about digging into it.

I don't think battery life's a concern enough to stay away from the best cyanogen rom yet released, that's for sure.
[Nexus One Android Development] distortedloop:
I like the Desire cam better; it's got some features and extra settings that cyanogen's doesn't that I prefer, but that's just a matter of personal priorities. I like the silence switch in the camera and the touch to focus. YMMV.

At any rate, it's easy enough to install the desire cam if you want it.
[Nexus One Android Development] distortedloop:
By the way, there must be a better way to get this information than taking screen caps of various info screens.

Where's the data from those shots come from, the battery stats file? I pulled that via adb once, but it's not in an easily human readable format. Can anyone suggest an OS X app/utility that will make more since of it than a text editor does?
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
Can the desire rom be installed in This rom and if so can ya post a link... I found one that's compatable with. 5.0.3 but is it the one I need? I did search but my search is wack..

ALSO I've been running this for about 4 hours and its running like a champion. Not sure about battery as it usually takes a few days for it to be at its best... this roms fast, I like the auto rotation on the home, great job....

NOW HOPEFULLY it keeps up this way...

Awesome.

Re: [ROM] CyanogenMod-5: Kang Central Station (STABLE) [04/15/2010 / 5.0.6]

I second this. As a digital photo buff, the stock is easily more of a stable picture. Desire can has some light focus issues, even though touch to focus is nice.

[Nexus One Android Development] rjhay22:
Yes, glad you noticed, the desire cams face recognition, touch focus, and full screen is nice, but fullscreen only gives 3MP max so we need to be on regular screen to get full 5MP potential, poor color, tint and over all quality still needs work.
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
5.0.6 battery stinks.. it's a fact and I am not the only one saying it.

AMAZING ROM.. I am very thankful for cyanogen's hard work. but this Rom battery life isn't great.
[Nexus One Android Development] neronis:
Re: [ROM] CyanogenMod-5: Kang Central Station (STABLE) [04/15/2010 / 5.0.6]

The battery life of this rom is the best.

You might want to reset the battery before you flash this rom.

[Nexus One Android Development] rjhay22:
I could be wrong, since I wasnt using AVS and I dont have data to back it up, but I was loosing 3-5% on standby before and 1-2% with the 5.0.6 :) we both agree though, that this is the best version so far :P my biggest concern was the battery heating up over 40C everytime I use navigation, which seems to be fixed now, or AVS might have helped a lot.

Yes I do like the added features the desire cam have, but the picture quality on this stock cyan cam, just seems to be better than the desire, and thats what matters most to me. So you're right its all about the preference.

Plus its easy to install the desire cam :)
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
the difference between 5.0.5X versus 5.0.6 ?? it's much different.. Can't hardly get from 9 to 5pm on 5.0.6 I don't want to start some flame war here.. I am not making some facts up to to waste anyone's time. I just was looking for a fix. that's it. I have to use my Nexus One as my work cell and the battery life is killing me right now. that's all. Can anyone recommend something else I could try? (Not another ROM, Just re-flashing or something..) again, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ROM.. Just looking for ideas.. Thanks for everyone's time. :)

Heck, Maybe I should reset the battery.. How do I do that again???
[Nexus One Android Development] rjhay22:
Maybe you're just using your phone a lot more :P but I suggest you give IntersectRaven's AVS kernel a try. It made a noticeable difference on my batt life. Just doesnt seem to work for everyone, but who knows it might for you :)
[Nexus One Android Development] crachel:
Agreed... I'm on 36 hrs right now since last charge and 39% left. A few calls, a few SMS, updated half a dozen apps in market, listened to a few songs and had WiFi on for maybe 8 or 10 of those hours. sync gmail/calendar etc all but 7 hrs at night when APN is switched off via juicedefender
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
Thanks for the tip.. But I am sticking with this ROM.. Ok, goodnight all! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] rjhay22:
LOL you can use AVS kernel over this ROM you don't have to switch. But you're welcome and goodnight brother.

Is anyone else's APN list totally blank? Maybe I am reading the "Massive APN List" feature wrong and assuming it means it has pre-installed APNs...

Ok so today i was going to reply to an email in the email app (not gmail) and as soon as i hit reply i get a force close. It happens everytime i hit reply, anyone else getting this problem?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
I think the apn list is a db in the background. Once a network is registered it'll pull the apn info from the db. Not a large list you can pick from.

(this is all conjecture)
[Nexus One Android Development] pjcforpres:
OK, kinda figured it was something like that.
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
Try a UV (undervolted) kernel, there are a few that are stable with CM 5.0.6.

I personally use the one in the link in my signature, but there are other suitable ones.

As far as not wanting to switch roms, you aren't. You're slightly modifying it with one piece. The rom itself stays the same. I'm using CM 5.0.6, with the kernel listed in my signature, and I'm very stable, and battery life seems good to me (tho it always has with CM).

Something to look into in the very least, you were asking for suggestions, so there is mine.

[Nexus One Android Development] dtosun:
What is problem? i couldnt use android before. I used before windows mobile. I think just simple question...
[Nexus One Android Development] distortedloop:
I was looking at my battery usage for today again and doing a little math on the numbers. The display had been used for only 57 minutes when I took those screenshots I mentioned earlier.

The display reports as 61% of the battery usage. 54% of the total battery had been used. 54% x .61 = 33% of the battery's juice was sucked up by just under an hour's screen use. At that rate of draw, the battery would be fully depleted in about 3 hours with the screen on. That doesn't sound like normal battery life compared to the 7 hours of video playback or 5 hours of web surfing (both of which would require the screen to be on) advertised in the tech specs for the Nexus One. EDIT: I realize that spec testing is likely done with lowered display brightness and under optimal lab conditions, which is likely the real issue here.

More testing's in order, I don't always run full brightness, but even at full brightness that seems excessive. I've noticed others commenting that the display seems to be using disproportionate amounts of juice, but they're always dismissed with a "everything else is more efficient" or the like. I'm not so sure that's the case.

Is there a log or report I can review/run that would provide more helpful information?
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
no I'm sorry.... i just am having a hard time understanding your question is all. I know English probably isn't your first language, and I'm not trying to give you a hard time for it.

I don't know the numbers, but going from stock to CM, i gained A LOT of free memory (in advanced task manager).

In stock i would bounce from 30-50mb free usually (depending on running processes of course), and now i bounce between 50 at a LOW, and I've seen it as high as 180, so.... its a SIGNIFICANT increase. I usually hover between 120 and 160 on average tho.

And i hope you enjoy Android vs Windows Mobile. I have used android since release (on the G1) and have never looked back.
[Nexus One Android Development] nephron:
What is with the insane battery loss all of a sudden?
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
My battery is awesome on this rom.... very good compared to stock.
[Nexus One Android Development] popophobia:
Just look at your status bar will you?

Also, I bet when they test the phone, they have the light set to moderate, with zero apps running (not as excessive as yours). Try to trim down in that department to see if you can get reasonable battery life. if not, try to get another spare to suit your appetite.

edit: On closer look, BeyondPod seems to suck the life out of your battery.

Car Docking ""issue"

Hello,

Running 5.06 and when docked in my car, it does not seem to charge the phone, the charging LED is not turned on, the battery icons either, but SET CPU changes the profile to charging...

Can you let me know how to report th issue to CYA?

Thanks!

[Nexus One Android Development] resist:
Previously Cyanogen mentioned that he would be doing some work regarding the docks for next release as there are a few issues now. This may be one of them. If you want still want to report it to be on the safe side, see the first post of this thread....there is a link to the bug tracker.

is there any way to change the led color for when an alarm goes off? its turning green now and i cant seem to figure out why.
[Nexus One Android Development] distortedloop:
Keep in mind that I'm not complaining of the battery life, I'm pointing out that like others, RELATIVE to the test versions of 5.0.6, the release version seems to have worse battery life for me with what I think is similar daily usage. It's not an unacceptable situation at all, just one for discussion's sake for those who are focused on battery life (see footnote below).

What stands out there? I've got BeyondPod (idle) showing, an unread email, drocap (the screen capture app I used to capture the pics I linked), the weather widget update alert, setcpu profiles on, and the battery % indicator. Apps are apps and take juice, but what stood out to make you say that?

Actually, I agree with that (spec testing has display set to moderate). I came online this morning to add that possibility into my original post. Not sure why I didn't think of it last night, just tired I guess. If 50% brightness on the display uses half the power, that would double the life I saw to 6 hours, which, considering other use, is more inline with claimed specs. I doubt it's that linear a drain, though.

On the other hand, a lot of people complaining of battery life, and a lot of posts about the display using a disproportionate amount of battery earlier in this thread, but those pop-up with every new version of the ROM.

Like I said originally, more testing's needed. If I get a chance later today I think I'll kill all apps and then just leave the display on at 50% brightness for an hour and then on at full for another hour and compare the battery drain.

It's not just BeyondPod, it's the Music app as well. I posted last month in pershoot's kernel thread that the Music app seems to drain about 7-8% of the battery per hour of play. Another one of those cases where my real-life use comes nowhere near the advertised specs (20 hours music playback). In all fairness to BeyondPod, I wonder how much of its drain comes from the fact it's firing up the radios and downloading large amounts of data. I'm not sure if the app itself gets charged for that kind of thing, or the system. That's obviously a drain, and next time I test this stuff, I'll make sure I do all my downloading while in the dock.

LOL. Dude, I'm 3-4 steps ahead of you there! I bought the Seidio 1600 mah extended battery, which I am currently using as my primary battery, when it first hit the market back in February. I also bought the Seidio 2800 mah battery (and it's horribly ugly replacement cover) at the same time for those times I'll be away from a charger too long. I learned years ago with the iPhone that you're not going to be happy unless you dock the thing every chance you get (charger at work, in the car, at home) and/or carry around a big extra battery. It's no different with the Nexus One. ;)

(footnote: Most of this battery stuff is just mental masturbation. You'll drive yourself nuts if you focus too much on it, especially if you pay attention to reports by others like "I get 30 hours with moderate use" when you have no reference to what moderate use is in their opinion.)

You can do it from Settings. Just manage your applications from there, and you can move any of the applications from Internal memory to SD.

Try an inventory of apps you have installed, and remove those you do not have a use for? Also clear your caches. I am unsure why I am attempting to assist with such a vague post. Going to reboot into recovery and wipe my helpfulness settings.
