[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
I've been experiencing a peculiar issue with my desire the last day or so. The phone refuses to charge ... basically plugging in the main charger doesn't trigger charging ... nothing at all, like I didn't even plug it in ... re-plugging repeatedly sometimes triggers charging. Something similar happens when connected to PC ... doesn't start charging/connect to USB ... works after a few tries.

As a result the phone discharged to the point where it wouldn't turn on ... and wouldn't charge either. Somehow I have been able to get it to start charging as it is doing now and connected to PC ... but that was after several attempts.

I'm on the road for the weekend, roaming, so haven't used the phone for anything besides some gaming as I have another phone with a local sim card to use. Very odd. Probably, not 2.4d 800mV related but I couldn't find anyone posting something similar in the forums and things were ok prior to 2.4d flash.
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
I'd guess that either your usb cable or the usb port on your phone is dodgy.
[Desire Android Development] rumander:
I'm having similar issues with Market. Sometimes stops on "Downloading... 0%", other times stops on Installing... (empty progress bar).

[Desire Android Development] acejacksooted:
hmmmm..., it somehow just fixed itself. Had to reboot the phone a couple of times, then it worked. Do you use marketeenabler? maybe that is causing problems...
[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
Ok ... this is weird. The phone is plugged into the computer ... shows that it is charging ... but the battery charge is dropping ... plugged in 40% ... half an hour of "charging" and I am down to 38% ... everything is off (roaming) ... sigh.
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
You tried charging it with the phone powered off? If it still does the same it's hardware and not the Rom

Hi Guys,

I just started playing with my desire and I rooted it and put on 2.4d. I have on major problem at the moment. The browser crashes whenever i try and open it. Does anyone have any ideas?

I did a wipe and used titanium to resotre my configuration from the stock sense 2.1 ROM.

CHeers,

Rizz

Edit: Fixed it, i deleted all data using the applications menu and it works again.

hi

I have lost the ability to set personal ringtones/notifications I had saved for my contacts. They are not in the list of anymore. Any apps that can do this please. Also is there a widget that enables 3g on/off.

These are 2 things I could do before using this rom.

thanks

Battery Percentage

Hi,

I've been using this ROM for a few days now and as mentioned previously, apart from the camera to SDCard issue, all seems great. However, yesterday I was out all day and I was keeping an eye on the battery % free during the day.

I started off fully charged, but find like others, approx every minute of usage with the screen on, it drops by 1%. Anyhow, last night it got down to 30%, then when I next looked 10 minutes later, the phone was powered off!?

I powered it back on, and it booted up, but as soon as it had initialized (ie the lock screen appeared), it immediately powered off again. I repeated this a second time - and then had to stick it in the car to charge it. So it seems that some setting on the phone once booted, powers the phone down when the charge is under 30%. Is that correct? If so, can that be changed?

Simon

2.4d ist awesome! My Battery is now at 21% ... AFTER 45h !!!! Got the OC 1267 mhz Kernel and used the phone a lot. WOW!
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Had a somewhat similar experience: two nights ago it had 31% battery when I went to sleep .. found it powered off in the morning, battery exhausted. Last night I turned the screen off with 28% battery.. checked one hour later it was at 11% and after another 30mins it turned off completely. Looks like the battery readout is not evenly spread across the entire capacity, or something like that.

I went into recovery and did a wipe for the battery stats, maybe that will help.. I'll report back when it discharges again :)
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
Are you sure? pls check your stats...nearly 2 days and you used the phone a lot and with OC kernel...Strange...
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
No issues with the battery here,

I never have auto brightness on tho,

went to bed with Wifi all turned on and connected battery was on 51%

woke up and it was on 47%

give it a hammering this morning as was watching a video, looking at pics, downloading apps and playing, killed the battery down to 15%

put it on charge for about 45 mins took me up to like 60%

and 4 hours later my battery is on 51%

I have not had any issues with mine,

Default Rom, Latest est Radio default mhz kernal

Been on for just over 2 days and only a quick 45 min charge (That didnt realy need it, but i hate leaving the house and what could be a low battery JUST INCASE, you never know lol )

Black & White Theme 0.5 uploaded, semi-transparent added. Screenshots and download here.
[Desire Android Development] gangman:
Maybe you're using GPS, Wi-fi or other battery intensive settings? It wouldn't be surprising then. Have you tried SetCPU?

I use SetCPU and set my CPU speet to minimum when the screen is off. All battery-intensive settings are off and I put it on 2G. The phone has been used lightly: about 5-7 phonecalls, a few downloads from the Market, some "messing around" in the UI, some listening to music (about 30 minutes in total). I fully charged yesterday early morning (about 40 hours ago) and now it's at 49%.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I'd echo that. At 8am this morning my phone was 100%. At 2pm, it was 95% with zero usage. 10 minutes of web browsing cost me 4%.

And that's with SetCPU installed as well ..
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
There's no problem when having higher battery levels, it seems. Mine goes down at a steady rate of 1-1.5% per two hours in sleep mode, if it's above 40% to begin with. It's only when you approach low levels (15-25%) that the 'drain' appears. Although I don't believe 'drain' is appropriate: more like, the phone misjudged the estimated consumption while it was on high battery levels, and only when this level goes down too much does it actually realize it was wrong in the calculations :)
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
Ok..I understand..I'll try it too..Do you use profilles on setCPU?
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I am ..

Temp > 50 degrees = 245mhz min/max

charging/full = 883mhz max/384 min

screen off = 245mhz min/max

battery < 25% = 245mhz min/max

battery < 65% = 384mhz max/245 min

battery < 75% = 652mhz max/384 min

the idea being that it gradually scales down as the battery discharges. i've found that SetCPU adopts a 'top down' approach to profiles, so if you've got the less than 25% on your battery, and that rule is at the bottom of the list, it will ignore it - regardless of priority setting.

either way, still hasn't made any difference at all ..
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
Ok.. I'll apply it on profiles... Last question, which kernel do use for better performance/battery saving?
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I would love to know the answer to that question myself :)
[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
Thanks for your reply. GPS is disabled, but I do use wifi when at home. Last night when I was out, wifi was disabled (using wapdroid). I've just installed SetCPU so I'll see if that makes a difference.

[Desire Android Development] acejacksooted:
no one else with camera issue? ive taken 10-15 shots today and they are all blury, might this be the radio? or kernel? other then that its a super good rom!

Super Fast. I really need to get the camera to work, maybe just some setup ive done wrong?...
[Desire Android Development] danbst:
Does GPS make a lot of difference if you haven't got an app open actually USING it?

By that I mean that I usually switch it on only when I'm about to use a navigator. However this morning I got up at 7 and switched it on as an experiment. Nw 13 hours later having had it on all day and using my phone as usual... i.e bit of txting bit of surfing and 10 mins on a GBA emulator, I still have 71% battery left. Around what I'd normally expect.

The only reason I tried leaving it on was because when I was using my HD2 I never turned it off and still managed good battery life with that. It's only heavy drain when an actual app is using it, this is probably due more to the screen being on that the GPS unit probably.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
just wondering aloud, since i don't do it - is partitioning off the sdcard an absolute necessity ??

does it have any overall effect on speed and/or battery life?
[Desire Android Development] BlackCube:
I have problem with the battery discharge too. Using 2.3 (925) atm with the latest radio.

Past few days was still alright, though draining was faster than the <v2.1.

However, after upgrading to 2.3, each reboot took me 2% of the battery. Does it really needs that much juice to reboot?

Browsing through the programs list for awhile took me 1%.

Worst of all is that, I've just unplugged my cable, left it there alone w/o touching it and it dropped 7%. No GPS, No 3G, No Wifi. Nothing unusual with the stats, all seem to be pretty normal. I have setCPU setting ondemand.

The rest of the setting was nothing out the usual. Could it have been the apps? How to track which apps is causing? How do you guys usually troubleshoot the problem?
[Desire Android Development] BlackCube:
I believe doing so, is for A2SD+ where you store your apps/games and cache using the sdcard instead of the internal memory space. Thus, allowing you to install as much as your external memory could hold.

Shouldn't have effect on the battery life and speed though.
[Desire Android Development] peaterha:
I leave my GPS on too. Have done since my G1 and have pretty much the same battery life with it on than off. Only comes on now for either a little geo-tagging or the nav (which i don't really use) from what I can see.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
thanks for that. i guess if the cache is on the sdcard, there would be a slight speed increase though, since the phone itself doesn't have to process it ?

ah well, haven't done it up until now so won't bother :)
[Desire Android Development] rdy2go:
2.4b with UV kernel and some tweaking (SetCPU, ADWLauncher) is the best ROM so far for Froyo. Donation sent via PayPal!

Keep up the good work.
[Desire Android Development] rdy2go:
Beware! Slow SD card slows everything down with APP2SD+, fast SD card (Class 6, at least 4) makes the difference.

I've just changed my slow 8GB to Class 6 16 GB card and now it's perfect.

[Desire Android Development] imsochobo:
My drain on 2.1 and 2.2 was impressive, more, astonoshing.

didnt have set cpu, 1ghz havs.

2.3, well, could not go through a day. went 10%-15% if i did something on my phone, a lil email convo with my gf for instance.

2.4D now, no wipe seems like all is actually working well.

any easy guide to installing set cpu/config ? built in ?

Haven't looked much into it, since 2.1 and 2.2 was so good, wondering how 2.4D is now.

Currently charging up from 10% now, just did 2.4D update.

Richard? Will be a new kernel in the nxt. update? (2.6.34.1 kernel)
[Desire Android Development] gangman:
It seems true that the battery drains quicker at the lower half of the %. I had it at 20% couple of hours ago and then it just dropped down to 15% about an hour ago and now at 9% only being at standby. Still can't complain because it lasted for about 45 hours since last charge (with low usage, of course, but I did actually use it for some phonecalls and other tasks).

Could it be that there is a bug or just some inconsistency regarding battery level readings? It's not a huge problem but it still may look odd when you still have 30% of battery and expect it to last for as long as it lasted from 100% to 70% yet it lasts much shorter.

Edit:

I was having battery at 7% and just opened a picture from my photo gallery. After a few pinch-zoom ins and outs the phone switched off as the battery gone dead. I don't think it should be happening like this.
[Desire Android Development] fleixius1:

What battery mod did you apply (its not a bug because i didn't make the battery-mod)?
[Desire Android Development] John Drake:
I think this is more misleading battery consumption reporting. I left my phone with the display off for some time, but with WiFi tethering on. WiFi tethering is a significant battery drain.

When I checked the battery usage, it displayed 50% System idle and 50% phone standby. However, I know that other items, WiFi tethering in particular, were draining the battery.

Do not trust the battery consumption statistics.

Cheers.

strange issue

last night my phone was at 60% when i go to bad and in the morning i can't even to start it up with out charger

[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
I've been running SetCPU now for 24 hours with the profile settings suggested by hankhandsome. It seems to have improved the battery life, but it's still not great.

On Saturday (without SetCPU) it was fully charged when I disconnected it at 10am. It then completely died at 30% battery just after midnight (14 hours, minimal use)

On Sunday I installed SetCPU and applied the profiles, then disconnected the phone at 11am. It got through to 09:35 this morning with just 6% left and hadn't powered itself off this time (22.5 hours, minimal use). However, in the battery usage screen it shows Android OS as being the main culprit (is this correct?) but it only shows an unplugged time of 14h 43m, but it was not connected to any power between 11am yesterday and 09:35 this morning.

Could the duration be incorrect due to SetCpu slowing the processor down?

Anyhow, it's not that great - I could get almost 2 days on 2.1.

"Cannot connect to camera/camera not working

Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Running -> Kill everything camera related like Camera, but also barcode readers and torch apps (tools that allow you to enabled the camera flash LED to be used as a flashlight)!"

does this mean that my low res camera bug will be fixed if I do this?

Have you tried it several times. Also turning on and off wifi on your laptop.

It worked for me after that.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I'm beginning to think there's some transient error here. Having posted singing this ROM's praises on Friday, on Saturday my drain was ridiculously high (like >10% an hour standby). I charged fully overnight, powered off and charged til green (like someone else said) and ran it on Sunday and it was fine; this morning I did the same and it was going down at 15% an hour, until I powered off and restarted.

Now it's going at 5% an hour or so, which is fine by me, albeit slightly higher than I've seen.

I've installed alogcat from the market to see if I can spot any errors next time my drain goes through the roof. Suggest others do the same, we might get some useful info.

If you want an HTC-like dialler on a non-Sense rom, you must use Dialer One. Like the camera app, the HTC dialler is so integrated with Sense that by the time you've brought in enough of the Sense libraries to make it work you've effectively got Sense on the phone.

People telling you to use Dialer One with Launcher Pro aren't being smart arses, they're giving you the only viable solution to your request.
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Do you need Dailer One AND Launcher Pro or one of these?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Is that the resolution you got from the phone? 1024x768?

May be a stupid question but have you tried changing the resolution? It's non-obvious - when you press the "settings" dial in the camera (the one at the top if you're in landscape) the menu that pops up is scrollable - so you have "Focus"->(Auto,Infinity) and "Exposure"->(+2,+1,0,-1) but if you drag that up you get "Picture Size" (5M, 4M, 3M, 2M, 1M)

Sorry if you know this already, I don't mean to treat you like an idiot :)
[Desire Android Development] photek1000:
Just tried it on my Ubuntu laptop, left security open on phone and connected straight away.

Getting great speed as well browsing non cached sites to test.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
You need dialer one to get the HTC-dialler-like features (t9 search of contacts and numbers etc) but the default Froyo launcher won't let you set a different default dialler action, so you'll still get the stock dialler when you hit the "phone" icon; using LauncherPro will let you set that icon to whatever you want.

LP also seems to have other advantages and no downsides, tbh, but the reason for recommending it here is just for the above.

(I should say I've no connection to either LP or DO except as a user)
