idk, check out this screenshot. it definitely is telling me theres no battery bug. well, this is my latest compilation at least
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
How did you check the wake time in Flipz rom? If you used spare parts it is incorrect.

Could be possable that something changed but I don't think so. I also seen more of a drainage in this rom that's why I went back to flipz. I can't be charging my phone all day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
hmm... well i have that (almost) exact same screen where it says phone idle. but at the same time, spare parts reports that my phone is 'Running' 100% of the time.

edit: post above me just said spare parts is wrong. nevermind.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] junkshow:
Settings->About Phone->Battery...compare Up time with Awake time, if they are equal, your phone's not sleeping. Mine wasn't. Now I have the same issue with Darchdroid. My phone has some weirdness, obviously. I have redownloaded, wiped, flashed a half dozen times, and the result is always the same: even a clean system with no additional apks installed, the phone never sleeps, and the battery lasts about 6 hours. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Well I seem to be getting better battery life after I turned off GPS, have SetCPU set to ondemand with max at 528MHz & min at 245MHz & end button set to sleep.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
i think my latest compile fixed some of these issues, i'll release it on tuesday
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
Darch, i think opengl is still not working right, even after the fix you posted awhile back. i checked the logcats of it , and it seems that after the phone screen goes off once something bad happens. i get a never ending stream of errors.

E/RenderScript( 1122): GL Error, 0x500, from VertexArray::setupGL

basically a never ending stream of those which is sure to deplete the battery

hope this helps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
yea, that shouldn't happen with the LibGLES_android.so i posted a few pages back
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dezi504:
why don't i have andriod market in this rom?. where can i get andriod market?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I get that only when using live wallpapers, which are nice and stuttery btw. I don't run the live wallpapers and still get massive battery drain. ps, top and powertop haven't led to anything conclusive. Perhaps its a compile setting in the kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
install the googleshits... or read the first post and have it tell you to install the googleshits. Either way, install the googleshits
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
my battery info doesn't look much different, but I am still experiencing rapid battery drain. I wish I could explain it, I've watched logcat for the last 10 minutes with the phone in in sleep and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but still losing charge very fast.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
lol, i was trying to point out battery percentage and time since last unplugged. not that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dezi504:
good looking out. thanks man.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
np... easy thing to miss
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I noticed that also. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Having a weird problem with this now... no app from the Market is installing. I tried it over wifi and 3G, and it's been sitting on "Starting download...." for about six hours now. I tried rebooting it (obviously) with no dice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kenpoman:
battery drain

i also get a huge battery drain.

I found the same issue on dcv2.08.1 and it was when you banned htc sense.

it kept the uptime and awake time the same. when you unbanned it it was fine.

it makes no sense on this rom though because sense is not installed.

this is just somthing to look at.

this is a great rom but the battery drain is the only thing keeping me form using it as my daily rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
I am having the same issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
Yup same here ( video camera )....

after re-doing my phone i was able to get rid of the VM icon however i now see the battery drain everyone is talking about ( before redoing my phone i was not having a BIG battery drain problem )...i dont even have anything other then googleshitz installed ..i also disabled GPS and set the end button to sleep mode..

this morning ( after charging all night ) i unplugged about 6:30 am and now at 9:15 am it is at 72% battery... its been in sleep mode all morning yet still big battery drain...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feld:
I had it charging all night and woke up this morning to find it at 50% battery when I unplugged it. It's like it was discharging faster than it could charge.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Just an update of my battery life.

from 100>43 in 9 hours and 45 mins. It is reporting 0 sleep time. I think from looking at the logcats it seems like the phone may sleep (tho spare parts doesnt report so) when using the end button, but not when leaving it idle to shut off by itself.

Also does anyone know if the "Up Time" in the Settings>About Phone>Phone Status refers to awake time or total time on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
You know it some parts of the world its already tuesday :p

Seems like every phone I get there is one guy who just gets it and your are that to my hero darch, been enjoying your great work.

I had that problem as well, had to soft reset to get things moving.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
Same here. warm battery an sitting at 45% in 4 hours.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thematrixkid17:
Battery update: I took it off the charger at 9:30 this morning, it has been two hours, and I'm at 83 percent. I haven't used it other than to check the clock a few times. I'm in a high signal area. Doesn't look like it's as good as I had thought, but it might get me through the day.:(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] booyakasha:
Same for me. I've had it off the charger for a little over an hour and haven't used it for anything but checking the time and its sitting right at 80%. Not horrible, but definitely a significant drain. Also in a strong signal area and my battery is very warm to the touch as well, hovering right around 105°F.

My battery usage stats says:

Cell Standby: 50%, Phone Idle: 47%, Display: 3%

If I can provide any more info let me know. Running 2.6.2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
just switched to this rom finally i was going to wait until the wake lock and mms was fixed but i didnt, dude this roms is effin awesome, easil my fav now, its smooth fast as fuc* and has absolutely no keyboard lag, nice work darch, i have to buy you some coffee or a beer for all your hardwork, this is the rom ive been waiting for, asop is my fav.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] taicor:
I still have the 100% wake time bug. I wonder if it's from using AWDlauncher (I'm a whore for eyecandy, what can I say).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Once again, reporting great battery times. I removed all third-party task-manager apps (Autokiller, ATK), no OC apps, just letting the phone chill. I sent a couple text messages, nothing too serious. It's been off the charger for an hour and I'm seeing 96%. This includes both using the end button to sleep and letting it naturally sleep.

Have you guys tried recalibrating your battery? (Especially those who cleared battery stats with a partial charge... that's bad for your battery). I noticed the biggest battery time increase after I did this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
Heres a funny story....While i cut my grass today i listened to pandora the entire time. A total of 2 hours. And the battery went down 12%. Strange.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
well welcome to the best ROM for the HERO...

yes there are some minor bugs but Dartch is great and has been working night and day to fix them ...

i still use this ROM for day to day stuff ..i can live without mms and the battery thing is a PITA but im never far from a charger so i can live with it till Darch gest it figured out ..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Here is what I did last night. Fully charged battery, Completely wiped my phone, flashed 2.6.2 and did nothing else. Didn't install a thing. Took the phone off the charger and went to bed. Woke up 7 hours later and the battery dropped from 100% to 43%. I never touched it in 7 hours.

There is definitely a gremlin in their somewhere.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcgrathx:
great battery over here too

Strange so many are reporting poor battery life. This has been perfectly fine for me. Had it fully charged by 9pm last night and left it off the charger. Woke up to 78%.

Remembering back to AOSP 2.0, i had a battery issue where the contact sync was running constantly. Disabling this cured the problem. What about the updater app... I am also not using any OC programs or task killers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
hmmm now that you said that before i re-did my phone yesterday i was using and older goggleshitz and not the one posted on the first page of this thread ..i was using one of the first googleshitz darch released ...i wonder if something in this new one ( the one im using now from first page ) is were the bug is ?

i know before i redid my phone last night my battery was good ..def better then it is now ...

If someone has time. Try doing a completely clean install without flashing Google ****s and then testing the battery.

poor battery still

After the .2 update. I applied it, last night I was at about 50 percent. This morning , i woke up late! Lol, should have known better. Im still experiencing bad battery times. I dont' think I've ever gotten 20hrs, but then again, I beat the crap outta my phone. I basically on it always. But even just chillen , my phone is draining. Hope Darch has a fix out soon.

This is the ROM of ROMS though !!!!

THanks Darch - hey if you got a paypal acct, i'd like to buy you some beer or coffee.

let me know .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sph33r:
Also having battery problems. I wiped the system & Dalvik, flashed 2.6.2, and only a handful of apps. No Autokiller or SetCPU this time. Battery went from fully charged at 9am to 65% at noon with zero usage.

I'm also experiencing a problem where the screen doesn't wake up when the phone rings. It takes 3-4 rings before the screen wakes up and as we all know, there's 2-3 rings happening on the other end before our Hero even rings on our end. People keep asking me what took me so long to answer.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Inimical:
+1 for the battery issue. Phone gets real hot in my pocket I noticed. Also, when I get an email/missed call/sms/etc. basically anything that would blink the status light, the green light stays on steady and the orange light blinks behind it until I clear the notification. During this time is when the phone gets noticeably hot. Once the notification is cleared and the light goes out, the phone cools down.

I'm not saying the little light is causing the heat, but something seems to be causing the CPU to run like crazy while that notification is up causing the phone to overheat and drain the battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
battery life

ok so i reflashed 2.6.2..

i was having battery issues, wake time and temp.

i think AWDlauncher may be responsible for my wake time and battery drain.

i know laucherpro beta has been a battery hog.

ill get back when i stop resetting my phone ^_^

Touch Android

Hello guys

When i boot the phone, it says "touch the android to begin" when i touch, it blinks and nothing going on

please advise

wait a bit for the phone to boot up. also i have seen that i have to skip the sign on prosses and go back to get data.

Anyone have an update.zip to make helixlauncher replace launcher.apk? I'm 1.) ridiculously lazy. 2) at work 3) without a working laptop at home because i need to reinstall drivers/get X working again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
just go in the market and download Helix launcher. when you press home you can select it as the default..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
Home Switcher is also a good market app to set your launcher default after you load Helix etc...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] taicor:
That leaves the original launcher still in /system, and just changes links. It doesn't actually replace the apk. I'll just do that for now until i get my comp working again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] will22:
nope, nothing :(

can't boot into recovery either
[Hero CDMA Android Development] th350urc3:
pull the battery out, reboot into recovery and re-flash . Is your battery fully charged ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] will22:
on boot in recovery all i get is "HTC" on black screen.

Battery isn't fully charged, i put it on charge
[Hero CDMA Android Development] knx2:
I flashed this last night. I have 100% wake. I searched and tried the spare parts sleep on button. I do not have any overclock installed or autokiller/task killer installed.

I came from fresh 2.1 overclock and he had 100% wake untill i flashed someones deodex version and that fixed it.

Any thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] knx2:
I did not use spareparts in flipz rom and the battery lasted more than 12 hours. After having this phone off the charger I can see the battery draining too fast.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
All the themes that aren't full roms will work.

Also, for the all you people with battery issues, I get it. I don't need 3 pages of people saying the same thing, I'm not ignorant and usually update u guys when I can and I also said that I have an update Tuesday for you guys . So ya, please stop, its killing the thread flow. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcgrathx:
i cannot be certain which googlebits i used... was pretty sure it was the latest. I also use helix launcher - but cant imagine that what is draining the battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:
hahaahahahahahah. thanks for letting us know darch. Update tuesday nice. Cant wait! Anything on MMS? :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Hey Darch, is there a kernel that you have that doesn't have the overclock? Only reason I ask is because I use the newsreader widget to read news for long periods of time (sometimes 30+ mins), so I'm worried that the overclock will eat up my battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
it won't. its called kernel cpu scaling where the kernel scales the cpu depending on how much horsepower is necessary
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
If the newsreader widget doesnt require the full processing power it should downclock accordingly (just like the CPU in your laptop). If you are that concerned you could always use setCPU or OC widget to set the max speed to 480Mhz (I believe that is the stock speed, or maybe 528Mhz).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] th350urc3:
LOL, sorry dude, guilty as charged! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Oh ok thanks. Just wondering because my battery dropped by 4% in about 5 minutes from just scrolling around in the settings and stuff like that :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
its not OC's, and its not a problem with the not going to sleep (or actually, it is, but its not directly the route to get it fixed).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
what radio is everyone using ?

im think of updating mine ( from current sprint one ) but just wondering if its worth the effort
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
The original one, 1.04.01.09.21...

I was using one of the newer ones on another 2.1 ROM I was testing & getting REALLY bad battery drain.

Where would we get cyanogenMod themes compatiable with this rom?

you can find them both in cyanogenmod forums, or here or here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
Not sure if this is important or not, but i've noticed that when i put my phone in airplane mode the phone slows down big time. Everything gets choppy and the linpack scores go down into the 1's. Not sure why that would happen, but i thought i might note that.

Anyone notice the water live wallpaper doesn't work correctly. the background just goes white with the leaves falling down the screen no rippling water in the background. this is my favorite lwp. anyone else have this issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
i just flashed this today might i say again, easily my fav rom i can deal with the battery issues i have home and car charger, just one question, is there a known issue with this rom and the xda app, i keep getting this unknown error message when i hit forum. :D

Yes, there is a known issue with 2.6.2 & the XDA app.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
i flashed the libs that you posted a few pages back, but that problem doesn't seem to get fixed. any idea? :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
kool ok thank you guys. flash on flashers :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I have this as well. Black background with falling leaves, no water.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
did you guys also see how the first post says most (meaning not all) live wallpapers should work fine :p .lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
My bad :p, you, as always, are correct!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] szainmehdi:
OK. The weirdest thing just happened.

I tried a couple other ROMs, and then decided to revert to this one. I wiped and flashed, and guess what??? The Gallery WORKED PERFECTLY!!!!!! :)

I installed a game (Replica Island) that I know was working really smoooth (about 30-45 fps) on Damageless's ROM and it was working perfectly as well. (This was before the phone got a chance to sleep.)

After a few hours (meaning now), I tried playing that game again and it started lagging like hell! I would guess at about 7-10 fps.

Tried Gallery and it wasn't working either. Hopefully this insight will help fix this problem. :confused:

Sorry for the super-long post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
the other 12 pages of this same insight are definitely helping :p ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Use the search function, it's been discussed. :p

And a a "fix" by darch has been posted here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djR3Z:
I've had this problem as well on all the DD roms. Still have it. Kind of annoying when I miss a call because of it :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] szainmehdi:
Sorry about that :o

The fix works once, and after the screen goes to sleep, the gallery dies again :(..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
I've noticed that aswell, but you should be fine using the regular 2D gallery until we figure out a fix.

Something tells me that openGL just keeps running until it's burned out(which would explain battery drain too)

But what's causing it to run? Beats me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tokuzumi:
I have this occasionally on Fresh Toast 2.1. I do a reboot of the phone, and it goes back to being speedy, and being able to answer the phone in plenty of time.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
yeah i'm pretty sure that the opengl issue hasn't been fixed with the patch provided a few pages back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
damnit lol my phone keeps randomly rebooting arghhhh :D, and also i feel like i get less service, i have an airave in my home, and while connected to wifi on any rom i get full bars no matter what, and now wifi is connected and i dont have a single bar, is there something that could be preventing my airave to be picking up on this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
check your dbms in about phone> status. they should be eerily similar to a sensui's dbms signals
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
i would say mms and opengl are not related.. opengl is related to 3d graphics which is why the 3d gallery isn't working correctly
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
I think i would just wait for darchstar's update. I think he said it would be tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sandboxlove:
ill flash anything he posts, but im willing to bet he's sticking with the current opengl, and incase it doesnt correct itself, id still like to have the option.

how do i swap opengls?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think ANY of Flipz's fixes will work on Darchdroid. They are completely different ROMs based of entirely different frameworks. This isn't a Spring ROM stripped of sense and made to look like an AOSP ROM - It's an ACTUAL AOSP ROM. It's a partial port of Cyanogen Mod, with a touch of Darch(ness) in it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sandboxlove:
ok flipz wont work but im sure theres an opengl that would function correctly, and not compromise battery and the like.

what if it drastically improved things by not going for the aesthetic opengl and staying with the basics? i would personally prefer that until the opengl is 100%, which its not.

darch, you know i love your roms, im just trying to bring some stability to the table. i think its worth trying.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
yea, i'm willing to bet that anything you find in Fresh's thread will cause boot loops. I have no idea how to change versions of opengl. you'd probably have more luck looking at cyanogen roms..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sandboxlove:
i thought darch was building from the ground up, compiling his own kernal, starting with the basics of a cyny port? cant we encorporate the standard opengl? its obvious he's using the patched version, theres absolutely no way to swap out?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sandboxlove:
correct me if im wrong, but i thought darch was using the patched opengl, a modified version of another...if he has acess to a new one, shouldnt there be a way to get the old functioning one back? i get its not as simple as an .apk but im still not convinced there isnt a way, and i really think it would drastically stabilize the rom overall.
