Sounds like it is constantly searching for a network, i have mobile networks disabled so it shouldnt be trying to sync anything because it would come up with a connection error. Has anyone tried to manually set the network instead of auto and see what happens? I am going to try to let it idle with DDMS log running to see what is going on in the background..

Re: [ROM][Vanilla 2.1]VanillaEclair 3.2 "Let me put a smile on that face"

Radu, I desperately need this fixed for tomorrow. Please, this is a great rom and I don't want to have to change.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gatsu_1981:
So, as usual, that's my quite readable

BUG REPORT!!!

1) Battery draining is still the same, "100% On" on stats, no standby time

2) 3D bug is still there, you could fix this with a reboot, but once in a while 3D get garbled again: I think that something get stuck and doesn't free the GPU, so everything else have to use CPU (slow/missing graphics).

Not a problem with cache, sometimes cleaning cache helps, sometimes I only need a reboot, sometimes after a reboot graphics in 3D Gallery is already messed up at the first try.

In cubic, if i rotate the phone, graphics get garbled (like the 3d gallery rotation bug, remember? it get messed the same way).

3) No auto-brightness

Man, I feel sorry for you, I realized that the work you did today for bugfixing got trashed :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Yeah, battery is not fixed. Down to 50% from a full charge in the space of 6 or 7hrs, with no use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Radmeister:
Yeah i think i got a solution for the battery probs, let you guys know in 15min after some more testing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DarthOps:
Ooh please say it is so!:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Radmeister:
Alright i found the source of the problems with the battery. Basically Radu why you are hearing the speaker sounds and why i kept getting data connectivity lost is simple, i checked this through DDMS so here are the problems:

1) The phone scans for networks constantly, basically every 30 seconds or as long as it takes it to complete the scan and then it runs again. Thats why that stupid data connectivity lost kept coming up after i cleared it and you keep hearing the speakers...

Solution: Go into your Wifi & Network Settings>Mobile Networks>Network Operators, let it search and then register onto the network. This will keep it from constantly searching.

2)The end button does not put the phone to sleep, nor does the phone go to sleep when the screen turns off. Right now i am re-flashing and i pulled Spare Parts 2.1 off of the SDK image and attached it as the one from the market does not support anything other than 1.5 and it disabled my end button behaviour hence the re-flash. I have attached the 2.1 spare parts apk.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qpop:
Re: [ROM][Vanilla 2.1]VanillaEclair 3.2 "Let me put a smile on that face"

I've reverted to 3.0 for now... I love this with launcher pro but the bugs need exterminating! Radu one thing...it seems 3.2 and 3.1 both lost 710400 from freq tables. Means when I set 710000 it reverts to 692000 and anything higher kills the phone. When fixes etc come any chance u could incorporate 710400? Love the good vanilla work!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Radmeister:
Damn even the 2.1 spare parts does not work for the end button......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bwarmerdam:
Radmeister that's awesome!

I got a question though, since I'm new to this. How do I install the apk onto the phone? Will ASTRO do this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Radmeister:
Yes it will, it will come up with a dialog asking what you want to open it with, tell it App Manager then, it will come up telling you you cant install, enable installing apps from untrusted sources. BUT WARNING DO NOT USE THE END BUTTON BEHAVIOUR OPTION IT DISABLES THE END BUTTON even in 2.1 version of spare parts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bwarmerdam:
Awesome, works pretty good.

I'll post tomorrow after a days use with these settings, hopefully they fix the battery issues. I've been using and abusing my Hero today, so my battery is shot right now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Battery drain is still there. 6 hours after doing nothing, the battery is now at 4% Oh my... I need to go to work without a phone today.

Radmeister, I think I have the same problem. I cannot get my data connection back after I change the type from 3G to G. And I also hear the speaker too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] poddo:

for some reason I'm not able to install apps from market.

do this rom work with app2sd only? (my sd has no ext partition)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bwarmerdam:
Its been mentioned more than a few pages back.

There's two fixes, but what worked for me was going back into recovery and wiping everything after you flash the ROM.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yeah20002:
Thank you very much for sharing！！！！！！！！
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Radmeister:
Alright after some testing, Spare parts 2.1 does work, but only for setting the end button to "sleep" mode, which ends up not putting the phone into "sleep" mode it just turns the screen off. So it seems like there is a problem with the ROM/Kernel where the phone does not enter or register sleep mode.

I did notice that manually registering onto your network drastically changes battery life, before that i was going through about 5% every 20min, now in 20min i went down 1%. Try it out guys and lemme know how it goes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Radmeister:
Could be your APN settings for data, also it could be that it did not reset the radio after you switched back to 3G from 2G, make sure you have the proper APN settings and try rebooting your phone. I can vouch that manually selecting your Network drastically saves battery life as it stops the phone from constantly scanning for networks in your area.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yeah20002:
fixed auto brightness(it seems that this works only for newer phones)

why?

I bought hero last October

Does not work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
al right radu, am awake with news.

the 70% didnt last thru the night. 8 hrs of sleep for me, I awoke to a flat battery.

went thru the last 8 pages and saw Radmeister's work around.

gonna try it and see how things goes. i've actually also inserted a dully charged and wipe the batt. data too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
bah .. i dun think it's working..

my hero gets warmer and warmer even when without use.

am gonna restore back to my 3.0 nandroid :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] baldahin:
I can't install apk(s) from sd after 3.2 update. it tells that "application not installed". and i'm using ext partition for apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@Radmeister

You're great man! Thanks a lot for debugging.

3.0 was based on #22 sources, 3.1 on #23 and again 3.2 is back to #22 sources. So the kernel is pretty much the same as #22, only with the task killer tweak and the tuned sheduler. I really doubt this is kernel-related, since there is nothing I did that can drain battery life like hell.

BUT from 3.0 to 3.1 I have changed some APK's, and that was pretty much all.

I will try to find the exact source of the problem today and release a fix ASAP.

REMEMBER: without the fix Radmeister provided this rom is barely usable because of the battery life!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b0z0:
Actually, couldn't the scheduler be the source of the battery drain (I have no knowledge in Android systems, so its probable that I'm wrong...) ? I mean: if a tweak in the scheduler broke something and if the network discovery is using that scheduler, wouldn't it be possible that it would cause the network discovery to go every 30s and in the same time, the battery drain ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
So is there any thing that I modify from the *.zip, e.g. change the build.prop, put something into init.d that can make the phone to never looking for network after flashing, and let me do it manually once I ready to do so?

Maybe adding something like ro.somethingsomething=0 to the build.prop?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Radmeister has posted a fix a page back:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bwarmerdam:
Even with Radmeister's fix I'm still experiencing the bug.

My phone hasn't been in "Sleep" mode since the last boot, and I've barely used it. I think that's the major issue here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Maybe you could just start with 3.0, apply the fixes for Auto-brightness, Facebook, and whatnot, then update the freq tables for OC, and then that's it. :)

If after that the're battery drain again, then we'll know what causes it.

EDIT: Here's a link for 3.0 for the time being, if anyone needs to fall back to it.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
3.2 has the #22 Kernel? I thought it was the #23 because the frequence hopping was so ultra fast :)

i think i try 3.2 now again with the Network Settings trick :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Even though it's based on #22 it doesn't mean it's stock. The overclocking part has been modified, not only the frequency table.

Hi radu. Just wondering if you had any issues with 3d games on 3.2. Just tried speedex and raging thunder and they aren't working too well. The graphics run really slow, and there are lots of glitches (speedex is almost unplayable)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Radmeister:
Yeah it still doesn't go into sleep mode, but at least you save some battery life by stopping it from scanning for networks all the time. Difference really between it being in sleep mode and running is more placebo, all it changes really is OC profiles, if you do not overclock your CPU too high and leave it at stock battery life should be reasonable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] appel_:
This is not my experience. With 3.2 and manual network the battery is drained close to twice as fast compared to 3.0 with automatic network.

Maybe I have more apps with non-wakeup alarms set. :)

Hello RaduG,

I rooted my phone for the first time yesterday and installed Vanilla 3.2. on it. It's very impressive. i hope you get the battery issue fixed. one question though: i watched some videos about android 2.1. and on those videos people use "pinch zoom" on a home screen but i cant get it to work. Is it supposed to work or have i misundestood something?

edit: also can't find an option for a "vibration mode" from the Phone options (only Silent and Airplane modes).

Thank you very very much for the great rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tbman1996:
Bank holiday here in the UK ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 87Vortex87:
If i'm not mistaking, the pinch-to-zoom is specifically for HTC Sense. Vanilla doesn't incorporate HTC Sense so that feature is not available in the Vanilla ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tbman1996:
Pinch zoom is HTC Sense. This is a vanilla Android ROM and thus lacks these HTC Sense specific features. Launchers like LauncherPro from the market have added this feature though.

EDIT: Ninja'd D:

And for Vibration mode, just do one volume up press from Silent.

Has anybody gotten Gallery to stop slowing down? I even tried pushing another Gallery3D.apk that I knew worked on another ROM and it was still slow.:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpooXter:
I don't think the slowdown issue is for only the 3D Gallery.

Games like Replica Island and Radiant get really slow and laggy if I run them about 30 mins after4 boot. It's unbareable.

I have no JIT compiler and as much as I can remember I had the same problem with the 3.1 version. I'm not sure if the problem is only for certain phones or not so please if someone knows a solution POST IT PLSSSS!!!!

I LOVE THIS ROM!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
OK.

I've got the ROM from 10AM, battery fully charged at that time(100%).

Now it's 6:40PM, data was always on, 86% remaining. Battery usage:

- 11 minutes of WiFi

- 3 minutes of browsing the web

- 17 minutes of calls

- data always on

- OC @ 691MHz

Is that ok? It seems to me that this is fixed, and battery is not drained anymore. I will do some further testing and the update will come today.

Here's the problem. It seems that something is VERY VERY wrong here with the gallery update. That T6 update is HACKED in a HORRIBLE way. I'm very sorry to say but that guy is an imbecil. Gallery 3D caused everything.

It flooded the system and it didn't let it sleep. It also did very much data trafiic by sending and receiving packages from wap.herocraft.com and other websites like thcalc.blogspot.com.

I'm very dissapointed by that. That stupid gallery made us all waste our time.
