Love the ROM but I'm noticing that display battery usage is rather high, always at the top of the list.

Don't recall this being the case with earlier versions. With screen on, battery drain is pretty bad.

I have display set to 30%.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
It is just the way how froyo (standard) shows you it (percentages) and has really nothing to do with reel battery drain. please see this post:

Yeeeeeeessss, thanks for posting this! I'm liking that a lot - it's georgeous!

[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
Thanks. That explains it. Perfect ROM on my Desire then ;)
[Desire Android Development] Hanski:
The only thing dailer one lacks is al 'call' button for unknown numbers. Right?
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I'm back on this rom now and will probably stay permanently - had a few hiccups with OpenDesire, but this rom runs perfectly.

just need 720p recording somehow to make it 100% perfect :)
[Desire Android Development] Diange:
Flashed this rom today, have to say great rom works fast and easy to use, atm no problems. Keep up the good work ^^
[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
Nice! Worked great! :D

I can't login to my account in the youtube app. Is this a known problem? I tried several version of the apk but none worked. Videos play fine though...
[Desire Android Development] audipete:
Thanks for this excellent rom Richard Trip

Is there any way I could get the pays rom camera features on this rom? for some reason I get a round pink tint in the middle of my pictures on this rom.

Have to say speed wise its superb and flash works perfect for me unlike the pays rom.
[Desire Android Development] Ivanovic:
Just wanna say thanks cuz i was really not using this rom because of the lack of greek keyboard!

I already updated and it works like a charm!

I haven't icon when i plug jack in connector. normal?

[Desire Android Development] bedeabc:
Got some terrible battery usage. Phone went from 100% to dead in <12hrs with very little use. Seems to get rather warm as well? Not running an OC kernel or anything. Seems I'm not the only one?

Wiped, flashed 5.09 radio... should I try an earlier radio?
[Desire Android Development] rynon:
why can i not the internet browser mobile view disable?

or is that a bug in defrost?

sorry for my English

Getting awesome battery life with 2.4d 1267Mhz UVOC.

Following setup:

SetCPU:

Normal 245Mhz - 1267Mhz

<75% Battery = 245Mhz - 9xxMhz

<25% Battery = 245Mhz - 6xxMhz

Screen Off = 245Mhz - 245Mhz

Settingsprofiles:

Enable data sync 5 minutes per 15 minutes (for exchange and gmail)

Flightmode from 0:00 - 7:00

Battery was at 72% when I flashed from 2.4c to 2.4d yesterday evening at about 21:15 local time. Now after a day without charging it is at 20% at the 24 hour limit and with average use.

I think I can make it to 48hours easily with 2.4d fully charged at these settings.

[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
Ok, for some reason auto rotation isn't working neither in browser, chats, messaging etc. keyboard doesn't rotate either.

Although I remember it working in 2.4d.
[Desire Android Development] Bengaal:
What version are you using then :p
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
Same here on 2. 4d.

Had to reboot to have rotation again...

I also have pink bands sometimes on the camera app (usually close and restart app solves it)

Has somebody compared battery life of defrost and opendesire?
[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
Jeje. It was working earlier and then ... although I haven't installed anything or changed anything ... it stopped. Hence ... I think it was working in the morning and then stopped.
[Desire Android Development] Shinigami_Josh:
it depends, some mobile websites wont let you disable them, and require you to use them and pay for its "services" others such as facebook have down the bottom a link to take you too the full version, to change this go to the url and type "about:debug" press enter if its worked when you now go to settings down the bottom there should be an item "UAstring" change this to desktop
[Desire Android Development] troca:
I have a question. Is it normal that the battery looses like 1% every 2-5min while playing with the phone ? checking email browsing internet etc ?

Running Defrost 2.4d Normal no OC and battery % mod with battery circle and coloured icons.

Also running Set CPU and Juice Defender.

Have also tried plain with no Setcpu or juice defender.

And a final noob question am i suppose to use the setcpu.txt attached in the begining of this post ? if so where do i place it ?. I did read the setcpu help section (the second post) i think its out dated thou cuz i bought the full version on Android store and its v2.0.1 and dosent have all the options like the second post

Anyway main question is my battery usage normal ?
[Desire Android Development] singlemanriot:
I have exactly the same problem and have tried the same things as the above poster but to no avail. So any help would be most appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] gangman:
With the stock 2.1 Eclair it lasted about 2 hours if being used activelly (browsing internet on 3G, music, maps, GPS, etc.) therefore 1% every few minutes sounds completely normal to me. Desire did receive some slight criticism for bad battery life upon release. However this is a problem of all contemporary smartphones packed with functions. The advertised "300 hours standby time" (or similar) can only be achieved if you don't touch your phone and switch it to GSM/2G. With active use and 3G it won't last more than a couple of hours I'm afraid.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
that's pretty cool and I want to try that, but setcpu is confusing me a tad .. i've just installed it and it gives me 998 max, 245 min.

Taking your "normal" setting, If i go to 'add profile' then 'new', i get the dropdown box with 'charging/full' - is that what you mean by "normal" ?

or would you be willing to just give me a bit of an idiot guide to set it up as you have it pretty please ? :)
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
Same here, just watching the battery tick down every 1 minute when I take the phone from standby
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
Excellent work once again. I don't want to be a nuisance but it seems to me that either auto brightness doesn't work or is too high. In complete darkness it's well over 50%...
[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
Everything seems to be running fine for me now, except that "Superuser for Titanium Backup has been granted" pops up randomly and repeatedly. I think I saw that some people had an issue with this in some earlier versions of DeFroST. Is there a fix, or was that fixed in an update?
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
There seems to be a lot of interest to this topic. I'll write a manual about how to do this. Give me some time.
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
You can go into Superuser and disable notifications in settings by pressing menu :)

[Desire Android Development] intellitech:
Unable to get past Google Account sign-in on 2.4d setup

I've not had a single issue with any versions of this ROM (upto 2.3) which were running perfectly, and installing well without any issues; however, since I've been trying to flash version 2.4d, (using the recommended radio), I am unable to get past the Google Sign-in page at the first boot!

I have tried it with the sim card in the phone, and out (using WiFi), but it's stuck on the trying to sign-in once i've put my login information in ... the phone was flashed with a full-wipe, to the point that I also formatted the SD card too incase that was causing an issue, with no success ... I've not seen this issue being raised before, unless someone has come across it and not posted ..

Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated ...
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
That's great news - thankyou.
[Desire Android Development] blenni:
display brightness

There are 2 different settings for auto-brightness, the one that is used in 2.4d and is similar to HTC default settings and one which is much darker like in 2.4 or older versions of the ROM.

I liked the darker settings much more, is it easily possible to change it back to these settings? (Is it just a xml-file like battery usage of the display?) If so, would it be possible to tell me which file is responsible for the settings? Thank you Richard!

I made a topic about battery usage optimization.

Awsome as alwayse ... but...

first time ive had problems with Defrost is 2.4d, at initial setup it wont connect to google for the initial gmail setup .. ??? the loading bar is just "loading" and nothing happens been like this for 10 minuts now... never had this on defrost before and ive had every single one since like 0.4...

any clues guys ??

kind regards

vicster
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I had this, thought it was just me lol

Power off and reboot, next time skip Google account setup; you can then enable sync in the accounts settings and it will work fine.
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Ok, now have a problem. Not sure if it defrost problem though. I just bought extended controls no problem. However when I turn off the phone and turn on again - they disappear?? They also disappear from the long press/ widget on home screen. Yet undet downloads in market it still days installed??. I reinstalled and all ok, yet after reboot - same problem!!. Anyone else getting this??
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
I'd like to know if it's possible too...
[Desire Android Development] intellitech:
Thanks for the tip ... seems to be working now ... excellent! :)
[Desire Android Development] ernell:
How do you enable the Google backup function (that restores all settings and apps)???
[Desire Android Development] bedeabc:
Exactly the same happened to me. Gmail first boot sync timed out so I powered off and tried again. It seemed to sort itself out after that.

After a reboot and a tiny bit of testing, battery usage seems to have returned to normal... Great ROM!
[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
I see, thanks. :)
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
I wanted to know this because its selected but I don't see any of my apps getting restored after a full wipe which is very disappointing :(
[Desire Android Development] ernell:
The only place where I have seen that setting, is during initial google account setup (that fails on 2.4 versions). I went back to 2.3 and then 2.4 without wipe to make the google backup work.
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
Everytime I unlock my phone, the keyboard is always up on my homescreen and I have to do a long press of the menu just to get rid of it :(
[Desire Android Development] troca:
5min might be abit to generous on my side its closer to 2min. I'm just surprised due to i come from a iphone 3g and the battery on that was way higher i understand that they are 2 different devices but my wife now have the iphone 4 and i took the desire instead as my upgrade and the iphone 4s battery last way longer and that is a smart phone as well.

but if your telling me that this is normal battery consumption on the desire i guess i will have to try to get a extended battery or something.
[Desire Android Development] braso:
To be honest it's a bit hit and miss with the different ROMs as far as my Desire goes. Some versions have had excellent battery life, with losses of around 1% per hour providing I haven't been doing much, and others you can see going down every time you wake the phone up. For me 2.4 has been thirstier than 2.3, but not too bad.
[Desire Android Development] gpga:
If you have something like launcher pro, it is not possible to put the widget on the SD card, so you can try to move the widget back to the phone and see if this solve your issue.

I can't install facebook at all with 2.4d, Clean install.

[Desire Android Development] Zaza le Nounours:
Hey, I have a question.

This morning, my phone was on LeeDroid FroYo-Sense ROM. When I opened the Gmail app to check my emails, a pop-up appeared to inform me that the app has been modified with new features, such as new buttons to reply.

Later this day, I flashed the last DeFrost ROM and when I open Gmail, the old version is back (which is normal), but there is no update with the new features. Is it possible to force the upgrade ? I'd like to have this new Gmail back.
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Ah yes I remember this now. How do I check? Sneaky feeling this may be the problem. If so- how do I switch or reinstall onto internal men? Cheers for help.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Everything works fine :)

Now the only thing we have to wait for is the 720p recording.
[Desire Android Development] jdebunt85:

[Desire Android Development] aliensub:
I have the exact same issue with the Facebook app.

Google Voice is also acting up. This one says: "Package file was not signed correctly"

I'm running 2.4d with the 5.09 radio & a wipe before updating

I have a question. Why is my sd card so slow ? is it due to apps2sd ?. Before i had a custom rom i hit between 5-6mb/s on my class 6 16gb micro sd card when connected to the phone and transferring via usb now i don't even get 2mb/s

any clues to why its so slow ?

[Desire Android Development] ltn100:
Hi, where are the apps installed to on the external sdcard when you have partitioned it for apps2sd?

This FAQ for cyanogen says that they are installed in /sd-ext/app/ but that doesn't exist on my Desire, so I'm guessing its different for each custom rom. I can't see anywhere in my root directory where it is likely to be:

# cd /
# ls
config
cache
sdcard
acct
mnt
d
etc
system
sys
sbin
proc
init.rc
init.goldfish.rc
init.bravo.rc
init
default.prop
data
root
dev

Anyone know?

Also, to make my life easier, does anyone know if an app exists that will move an app from the external to internal memory?

APN issues!!!!

This has been added to bug tracker....but maybe others can confirm or provide fix???

I had 2.4d rom installed (no wipe from 2.3 -> 2.4 -> 2.4a -> 2.4b -> 2.4c -> 2.4d). So i thought I would spend some time doing a fresh install of 2.4d. I did a full wipe (every wipe possible in recovery), also formatted my SD card (all apps clean install). Installed 2.4d using Rom manager with OC kernel.

Since this I have not been able to get APN connection at all!!!!!! :mad: :mad:

Tried the ISP settings = no luck. Reapplied recommended radio zip = no luck. Did fresh install again with al wipe possible = no luck. Factory reset in settings = no luck. Deleted APN's and recreated APN's with ISP settings = no luck. :confused:

What am I doing wrong....phone is almost useless for me if I cant get APN network while at work. Only home I have wifi (which works great). Can anybody help or guide me? Please!!!

Up until now everything has been great....love the Defrost rom......but what happend???

Go into settings, then Applications. It will tell you which apps are on the SD card and which are in the internal memory. There should be an option for 'move to phone'. If it says 'move to SD card' it is already in the internal memory obviously.
[Desire Android Development] djind:
Best rom for the desire!

Apologies if this has been asked before or general knowledge, but is it possible to have only the browser rotate and not the rest of the UI? I would really like this option.

Little bug report:

Seems exchange mail tries to sync even with the sync off apps disabled.

I noticed that because my echange server was down and the app tried to sync all day using 12mb of datas... once I comletely unchecked sync calendar and contacts, the sync really stopped. (it was very good for my battery life also ;o) )
[Desire Android Development] TheBigB86:

Though I have some drainage, might be because I'm intensely using it now, it works great.

[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
This happens when you login first with the Facebook app or restore data with TB BEFORE you add your accounts to sync.

It never happens when you setup sync accounts first from the settings menu.
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
There seems to be an issue where rotation settings stop working after a while (1-2 days maybe) and the phone will no longer go into landscape mode. It doesn't have any triggers to cause the problem, just randomly stops rotating and only a reboot solves it.

Perhaps something to note! Will bug report it.
[Desire Android Development] Curfish:

FM Radio +1

Besides this, radio.nl app keeps FC all the time. More people having this problem? Is there since 2.1

Great ROM this 2.4d, but seems to use more battery than 2.1 (didn't use 2.2 and 2.3).
[Desire Android Development] djind:
I am using ADW Launcher, I have tried Pro, but ADW suits me better.

In both adw settings and normal settings there are rotation settings. I just want no rotation on home or settings, but I do in apps and browser, I thought this was always the case?

And also any chance on sense like text selection in browser?

But still the best rom out there!

am new here so will say hi 1st! quite a noob at all this still so forgive me if im asking a stupid question.

Am I really the only one with this issue??? Anyone?
[Desire Android Development] djind:
I don't have the reboot problem with the camera to video. However, the optical seems to stop working if the camera app has been used. Lock and unlock fixes it.

For the rotation issue, I have discovered Switchpro widget and Power Strip. Power strip is awesome!

What is the issue with the wifi? It never shuts down, on any setting. I thought that was the big wifi issue.
