One common cause of battery drain (and not saying it IS your cause, but maybe something to look into) is known as "Flip Flop" and causes SEVERE battery drain.

"Flip Flop" is a known issue on many smart phones, but only brought ot the forefront by the nexus one community. Its not a Nexus issue, just more noticed from this community.

"Flip Flop" is the instance of your phone swapping from EDGE to and or from 3G. This can be from being on the fringe of a 3G area (tho in NYC i doubt this is the cause), or from being inside a building, parking structure, etc (probably your likely culprit). Constant 2G/3G flip flopping has been proven to cause SEVERE battery drain. Its speculated the same occurs from a 3G/H flip flop as well, but i haven't read enough on this to blame as a possibility as well.

The easiest way to solve this issue is to use 2G networks only, this will prevent any flip flopping from occurring. (Menu>settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks> CHECK "Use only 2G networks")

Again, am not saying this definitely is the cause of your issue, but it is a fairly common cause of battery drain.
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
It works for me. You might be confusing the "USB Connected" icon, for the USB Debugging icon. Pre 5.0.6 you would have BOTH icons. With cm 5.0.6 and the option selected, i only get the USB connected (the option to mount etc, when selected) icon.
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
Not familiar with Bettercut. As far as the debugging, the icon will show up unless you disable it in Settings>Applications>Development. Uncheck the second one. ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Stonejaw:
Hi guys Im a bit new here but I do have CM 5.0.5.3 currently installed and its amazing.

I have everything set up perfectly, as in all my apps and settings I like.

If I am to upgrade to 5.0.6 do I just install the rom without doing a wipe, and will that retain all my settings and apps, I will of course do a nandroid first but by reading through all the posts I am a bit confused as to if I do a wipe or not.

Any clarification would be great. Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
If the only thing you have installed is CM 5.0.5.3 (no launcher, no camera mod, no themes, no other mods etc) then yes, a simple update without wiping SHOULD suffice, and you SHOULD retain all your info, settings, etc.

If you use a separate launcher, camera app, mod, theme etc, that will play a big role in how you will install.
[Nexus One Android Development] rockky:
diggin' this rom!

whattid' make me forget sense is getting the awesome cut n' paste function from thode desroms.

is this possible?
[Nexus One Android Development] bouyark:
This is my battery conditioning process.

After each rom install, I charge the battery from below 50% to 100%. I then wipe battery stats in recovery and turn off the phone plugged in. Once the green light appears (with the phone off and plugged in ) on the device, I let it charge for another 30 minutes.

I also have my data connection set to WCDMA only as 3G coverage is excellent in NYC. As member stshannon describes in post # 7723, this "flip flop" will cause severe battery drain. I hope this helps.
[Nexus One Android Development] Part Four:
Yeah, like I said, the icon still appears in my notification bar.

I get the "USB connected" and "USB debugging connected" notifications NO MATTER WHAT I've checked or unchecked.
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
How can you set the phone to WCDMA only? Even in 2G only, I just lost 2% in like 20 minutes not even using the phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
Go into the phone app. Type *#*#4636#*#*

Go to phone info

Scroll down and change from WCDMA Preferred>WCDMA Only

Note, that if you lose 3g connection, you won't have ANY connection.

(or you could always download "Phone Info" from the market, lol)
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
That is definitely fishy. I'm not sure what would cause that, as like i said, its working as its supposed to in my installation. =( I wish i could be of more help.

I am running cyan 5.06 beta test 2.. is there any reason to upgrade to the official rom. Or no not really?
[Nexus One Android Development] speedogg410:
one question did u add a mm theme or flash a theme thats not updated yet.....it might have changed the new things added in 5.06
[Nexus One Android Development] speedogg410:
yes u should....i recommend u wipe first ....for all the settings he added in the stable version.... to me its faster alot smoother than test versions..but thats my humble opinion
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
beta2 had upgrades in performance and stability going to beta3.

beta3 had upgrades in performance and stability going to a published stable version.

So you are essentially two versions behind with regards to performance and stability.

I had this with Handcent, spend a couple of bucks and buy Root Explorer. Go into apps/data/data, I believe, and delete the Handcent data folders. Then use Root Explorer to remove the apk. Then reinstall via the market. Worked for me, got Handcent up and running again.
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
Yeah essentially the same thing i explained in my earlier post, but you can do the same thing with "easy uninstaller" which is free on the market.
[Nexus One Android Development] mrxniick:
Rooted recently and installed 5.0.6 and absolutely love it. Thanks for all the hard work cyanogen.

I am having one issue though, for some reason in my SMS app, the timestamp only shows the date, not the time. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus One Android Development] Technomancer:
Great work, 5.0.6 works great here!

Is it me or the list of ring tones and notification sounds is much much shorter than in 5.0.5.x?
[Nexus One Android Development] xguntherc:
Thanks for the details.. I appreciate it. Should I wipe first or just do the usual flash to newest stable like usual.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulk_:
@Technomancer

There are less sounds in this version, you can download the sounds from a post several pages back.

@xguntherc

Nandroid then flash. You don't need to wipe.
[Nexus One Android Development] stshannon:
Yeah .. always nandroid.. always...

If you have no other mods on top of your CM 5.0.6b2 then no, you shouldn't have to wipe or anything, just flash the stable version right over it and you should be fine.

[Nexus One Android Development] nathanzachary:
I have found that my battery life is actually worse on 5.0.6. It wasn't very good compared to stock when I was running 5.0.5.3, but now it is even worse. With the same usage (light internet, 50 or so messages, 20 minutes of calls, and maybe 1 YouTube video), I will have about 5% battery at the end of a 16-hour day. At least that was roughly 20% on 5.0.5.3, but it was almost 60% on stock.

Is there anything that can be done to locate the source of the problem? I have tried the process of charging it fully, wiping the battery stats, and leaving the phone off while on the charger. That didn't help.

Further, I've noticed that in the morning, within the first hour that the phone is off the charger, I lose about 12%.
[Nexus One Android Development] Ehsan021:

[Nexus One Android Development] distortedloop:
I also initially thought 5.0.6.-N! (not the test versions mind you) was sucking up more battery life, but I'm not so sure it's the rom. All of you complaining should check your logs and what apps are running. I found an interesting source of unexpected battery drain on my phone, and one I only caught by coincidence this morning:

I use BeyondPod to listen to podcasts. I turned on the screen, opened BeyondPod, told it to "update all" podcast feeds, then turned off the screen to save battery juice from the display. A minute later I saw the screen turn on by itself and stay on. I turned it off and it happened again.

I ran logcat and discovered that BeyondPod turns on the screen to tickle the WiFi connection while it's downloading stuff. I have WiFi set to never sleep in the settings (or spare parts, whichever it is) but I also notice messages from BeyondPod that the wifi connection has been lost.

Lol. Taint rashes everywhere. 1) usually people only post when they have an issue, so assume 90% of people running 5.0.6 are not having any. 2) I'm loving this. No issues, better battery life, sheer awesomeness. 3) make sure it's the rom before you blame it. Nandroid backup, wipe all, install only CM, see if your problem persists. If it does, come with a log or something. Makes it actually possible to troubleshoot and fix it.

[Nexus One Android Development] 3Shirts:
I have found that Bettercut often has to update for the new CM releases. Pop a comment on the market and they usually do sort it out quite quickly.

I have the same behaviour (icons too big) at the moment.

EDIT: I just turned off compatibility mode in Spare Parts and rebooted and now Bettercut seems to be behaving properly (the icon pack list is all small but the resulting icon is fine)

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

I have crap sound quality without bt as well, not quite as bad but still very bad. Don't understand why anyone would want to change the very good standard sound quality, for this higher gain that makes it almost useless. Now after switching over from Modaco I must use my Liquid for calls, and that have very bad sound quality, but its way better than Nexus with Cyanogen.

Hope he understand this and dump this mod sometime soon.

So what's the proper way to flash over to beta 3 if I was having the memory issue?

Flash Beta3

Flash googlebits

reboot into fastboot

reboot

reboot into fastboot

install zImage-2.6.29.6-highmem kernel

Does this look to be correct?

[Nexus One Android Development] FettsVett:
He said earlier in the thread that it was caused by going back to 2.6.29 kernel from 2.6.32 while having the phone plugged in. you have to unplug the phone while its still on, restart, go into recovery and flash the new kernel/mod while keeping it unplugged, and you shouldn't see the bug. (Which is potentially dangerous)

this is from the new drivers in the newer kernel leaving the hardware in a state that the old kernel with old drivers cant re-set. (If I read the post correctly)

It would have to be prepared in a zip, or you can just flash the B3 zip, and it should overwrite the kernel.
[Nexus One Android Development] mikroN1:
I don't believe it does. I think you have to flash this kernel manually. I think I can skip that whole process though as the .32 kernel was just posted with the battery fix and memhack. I'm going to try to do a WIPE - flash beta 3 - flash googlebits - apply new .32 kernel and see if it works.
[Nexus One Android Development] Guitarfreak26:
which post number is the new kernel on? save going through the whole thread?
[Nexus One Android Development] FettsVett:
By all means, this will work for your purposes, but the zip does include a kernel, as was noted by cyanogen, and 2.6.29 is more stable.
