New Battery fixed a lot of issues!

Hello All, I posted this on the CM forum first but I decided to post it here too. This new battery has rebirth by phone.

A couple days ago I decided to buy a new battery. Tmobile store no longer carries the G1 battery, as a matter fact, the associate at the tmobile said that the G1 is not even carried in the stores anymore. Thank God for CM that keeps our 'old' G1's usable.

But anyways, I checked with Batteries Plus and they had G1 batteries for 35 bucks. However, they were made by Rayovac....lol. I was hesitant to get it because Rayovac does not have a good rep. I bought it anyway, charged it via the wall charger for 12 hours or more and bam...my phone justs runs better. Even multi-tasting is better. Youtube video loads faster. The phone just plain runs better.

And to say the least, the battery lasts forever. I know some of you may want to know the battery and run-time specs but if you are having serious battery issues, try getting a new battery!

The only problem I'm still having is that I'm still getting FC's when attempting to use the Camera.
[G1 Android Development] hal_9000:
Good to know. I hope Cyanogen could find and fix the problem, since at this moment it's the only issue for me in this excellent ROM. Let's wait and see...

I haven't really noticed crazy battery drain since back in the early test 5.0.7 days but then again im used to using an iphone as well, so maybe im desensitized to battery life problems.
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
So I went thru the battery cycle process, and it seems to have helped the battery, but after loading the rom, it would consistently freeze then go back to the bootscreen (animated "x"), load, then go back to the home screen. I tried rebooting about 5 times and it still would go back to the bootscreen, so I just wiped and reflashed the rom and gapps over it. The rom loaded fine, but google maps wasn't installed, so I tried to install it from the market. The market would download it but fail to install it. It says maps is already installed on my phone. It is in the app drawer but will not open if clicked on. I cannot access it in the application settings either, for I wanted to unstall it then reinstall from the market. I guess I'll try reflashing the gapps.
[G1 Android Development] hal_9000:
Today morning, before disconnect the phone from A/C, I rebooted to recovery and wiped the battery stats. Just that, no full discharge/full charge cycle, and by now it seems to be lasting more than yesterday. I'll continue watching at it.

can anyone tell me if using swapper 2 and keep launcher in memory removes the launcher lagging problem?

and what effect does swapper2 does on the sd card?
[G1 Android Development] nick camel:
First time flashing custom ROM

Hi guys, recently rooted my phone, doing quick research and finally found IstBarP's "Rooting the SPL 1.76.0009" (which was awesome). So now to the next step... Custom ROM.

Device:

HTC Magic 32A

ROM: Official HTC (Sense UI)

SPL (eng): 1.76.2007

recovery: RA-Hero 1.6.2

Radio: 6.35.08.29

(kernel: 2.6.27)

Can I just flash Cyan's ROM (and do I need the kernel update?), or do I need to downgrade the radio or do anything else. Doesn't say much on the intro.

(found some wiki's, but a bit outdated I think)

At least I understood not to install DangerSpl!

Tnx
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
I use swapper 2 now, and do not have to keep the home in the memory. I have the swappiness set to 60, and it flies! I also have setcpu, overclocked. I have no idea how much swapper 2 ia supposed to kill your sd, but I am enjoying the speed!
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
are u using the compcache with it or it doesn't need to be on with swapper 2? and what are ur setting for set cpu?

[G1 Android Development] ukG1freak:
Hardly. Makes for an interesting read though.
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
I'm also using compcache, don't know which settings work the best.

(used 96MB swap and 60 MB swappiness (uses continue), I think that battery life will decrease this way.

Overall it's slower, but multitasking now works fine (when receiving a call and navigating for example).
[G1 Android Development] eebmob:
hey im running 5.0.8 and i have had times where my phone slows down really bad, i mean 5mb, even kkilling apps with task killer, kinda helps, neone have ne ideas to help keep my mbs up, i have mt3g not 1.2mmj, no ext.
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
use startup manager, disable all apps to boot except swapper2.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
I would advise against using compcache with Swapper2. In my experience (and I've tested the various scenarios for the best performance), it slows the phone down considerably. Just use Swapper2 with however much swap you want (I just use 32MB) and I agree on the default 60 swappiness.

As far as SetCPU, install it and then use the "autodetect speeds" option. You can get this from pressing the menu key, then go to Device Selection>Autodetect Speeds. Once it grabs them, set the minimum up to 160Mhz (going below has caused issues and has been reported by others, as well).

Also, I DO have home set to be locked in memory. I've tried it without and it doesn't do as well for me (with my setup).

If you look back a little in this thread, I have my whole setup listed out (I think a couple times, actually). I have a MT3G and a G1 (wife's). Both use this setup and both fly on 5.0.8 with no launcher reloads or battery issues (after recalibrating). Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
my_former_self's explanation on how to recalibrate the battery definitely fixed my battery issue. I have had my phone off the charger for about 12 hours and am at about 25% battery still. This is a drastic improvement over what I was experiencing (7hrs of standby time before the battery dies).

One thing I want to point out is that google now backs up your apps to your google account, so there is no need to flash the gapps over the cm rom unless you have not had a 2.1 rom loaded on your phone before (I'm assuming this is only with android 2.1+). I had an issue where I flashed the gapps over the cm build and google maps wouldnt open. It is because maps was already backed up by google. As an experiment, I wiped then re-flashed cm 5.0.8 without the gapps over it and all my apps were restored (google apps, free and paid apps).

Just figured I'd point this out because I found it interesting that google now backs up your apps for you.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Glad my battery post helped. I can't take all the credit, though. I put it together from various posts of what worked for others and what did not.

As far as Google auto backup feature, it is a great tool. But I think the only downside is that is does not back up the DATA associated with the apps (other than the standard Gmail, Contacts, Calendar, etc, of course). For example, if you use OI Safe for passwords, Google will restore the app, but not the data (i.e. the passwords...in other words, the important stuff). So, I use Titanium Backup (Donate) from the Market to make sure I've got a backup of all my apps+data and I turn off the auto backup feature in settings from Google (to prevent the problems with maps, etc, after a reflash). That way, if I do have to wipe everything (/data included), I know I've still got my data. Just food for thought.
[G1 Android Development] mdneilson:
Your ideas or not. Thanks!

And thanks for the Titanium Backup tip.

I push individual Gapps over ADB to avoid the Maps problem (well, folder at once).
[G1 General] con420:
I was one of the people who pre-ordered my G1 through T-Mobile when they announced it nearly 2 years ago... August 14th I believe it was I was told by a rep the exact day that I would be available for my fully discounted upgrade. Does T-Mobile or anyone plan to have a brand new phone for us around that time? It only should seem right that someone would do something just for us!

In other words, when I am able to upgrade in August...whats the sickest droid phone I am gonna be able to get for t-mobile?
[G1 General] hypersonicx:
If they start sellin tha Nexus One at the store by August that will be the best Android phone on T Mobile.
[G1 General] freeincolorado:
The Mytouch Slide will be available June 2nd from T-Mobile.
[G1 General] wondercoolguy:
The Nexus one if its in stores by then, HTC desire or Vision if they do make it on to the carrier (both are rumored). I don't know about the rules of this website sorry if I break them by telling you that www.tmonews.com is the best place for Tmobile news. Also the Samsung Galaxy S that has prolly the best screen on the market is coming to TMO. So TMO has go stuff coming its just they are slow and rather go after the mytouch crowd. Example mytouch fender, Behold 2, and mytouch slide. I'm in the same boat my contract is up in August.
[G1 General] con420:
Yeah my friend is gettin the mytouch slide and I told him its gonna be sick. I hope he let's me root it.

My girl has the behold II and hates it.

I think they gotta be plannin bringing something out. Otherwise they should fire the hmfic of deciding what and when phones get released.

I cant for the life of me figure out why i cant even START the download of any app on the market place. it keeps on telling me to sign on my account even though i have signed on more than a million times (And counting). can someone help me?
[Desire General] tastyweat:
Hey,

I get quite a few voicemails every day & I had the same trouble with my HD2... that I have to call the voicemail number (901) in order to find out if any have been left for me...

This is the one (and only) thing I really miss from my iphone... it would just display notifications like sms/email to let you know you had a voicemail, who it was from and you could play it/delete it straight from the screen.

The only thing I'm interested in is notification - am happy to manage from calling 901... but would really like something to let me know

Any app for this?

EDIT: Note... I don't mean these visual voicemail things I've seen on the app store where you have to re-direct to another server and they convert it to text for you... cheers :)
[Desire General] badgerarc:
Try Hullomail. It's free. When you get a missed call, you get an email and a notification from the app. Also will email you your voicemail or you can do it through the apps UI. It's great :)
[Desire General] smudgelab:
Just downloaded this & very much like the look of it but I'm on Virgin UK, the settings don't include this o I tried T Mobile but just keep getting an invalid mmi message. Any advice? Cheers...
[Desire General] Aitese:
But...when you say you could see it on the screen and play/delete it right from there, that is EXACTLY what you're asking for. The conversion to text is a secondary feature to services like Ribbit.
[Desire General] tastyweat:
Should have ellabourated more... it's the idea of my voicemails going to a random 3rd party i don't like the idea of :(

Their main "selling" point seems to be these (pointless as far as i can tell) voice->text conversions :S

So i use SPB Phone Suite and Dual SIMToday. (see attachment)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docsparks:
I have an N1, but the G1 is my girlfriends, and apparently all the stuff I've done, something always is tweaking or wrong with it.

While for the past year I've been quite involved in the tinker'ing with the G1,

lately I've flashed the hell out of the G1, and now find myself trying to find a stable rom that works.

Im a heavy reader, but I simply just dont have time anymore to keep up to know a stable rom, its patches and whatnot.

Really, need the help.

Super D 1.11 good? or is a older copy a better way to go? 1.9.3?

Wanna get this done tonight, if anyone can offer advice,

You'll be awesome. I can donate if you anyone cares to elaborate .. I dont need details how to flash and stuff, Im just referring to proper setup between compcache, swap, swap partition size. ext2-4? , etc.

I've read shadow's guide, couldnt find information if overclock_upgrade2 worked on SuperD or not, and im just trying to get fast, stable 1.6

I have a transcend 8gb class 6 in there, and its not toast yet.

Also have Danger on her phone aswell.

Again, ill donate if someone can get this out of the way for me.

Been fighting a Windows install for a customer for 4 days now and just got piled with even more work.

i got atleast $5

really? no one?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeincolorado:
Cyan's Donut build was quite stable for me. I had my 8 gb card partitioned as 512 mb ext-2, 96 mb swap with swappiness set to 60 using Swapper for Root, and the remaining as Fat32. That configutation ran good for me (although probably overkill on the swap).

Overclocking has not been as stable as I would like and probably not needed anyway.

If you want ultimate stability go back to stock firmware.

Pretty cool your gf has a G1, I got one for mine and she kept it for a week before taking it back and getting a blackberry. Thumbs down.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
I tried CM 5.07 and I don't think it's ready to be a daily driver and his latest-donut was lacking in speed department so I found myself going back to Super-D. It kinda went downhill after 1.10.2 in my opinion... At this point I'm on 1.9.3 which I found to be unbeatable in terms of speed and stability. I also rm a lot of stuf to make it lighter: I remove VPN, Voice Dialer, Email.apk, Bluetooth.apk, SD-updater, Genie widget, etc. I also added some latest goodies (MusicMod and Phone.apk from 1.11, ADW Launcher, transparent powertop widget, etc). YMMV but it's working out for me so far.

Good luck.
[Desire General] myxcon:
I searched the forums but couldn't find any information, so i'm asking, is there such an application that monitors the connection you are using and displays info as to what application used what amount of data?

Pretty much something like spb wireless monitor for win.mo . I am using netcounter at the moment but it does not give detailed information about the amount of data used per application.

Thank you.
[Desire General] ferus:
I used to use 3G Watchdog. Until I got unlimited data plan :-)

It is a nice app (with widgets). It lets you define your monthly quota, monitor it, set some reminders when you reach xx % of your quota.

I'm not sure it can monitor the use of particular apps though. But for overall monitoring it's the best I've found.

I used that also but I was looking for an application that can show usage per application, just for my personal knowledge.

I'm not positive what exactly happened with my phone, I was syncing up my info so that I could flash a new rom and after it had all finished, my phone had froze. So I attempted to restart my phone and now it doesn't turn on unless it is connected to a source of power (charge/cpu). It attempts to start up and gives me the standard t-mobile load up logo and recognizes the rom and radio but then continues to restart itself. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
[HD2 General] unleashed12:
Hmm just boot it into bootloader mode, run a task 29.. and flash a new rom of your choice.it might work..

check the battery connectors.more than one person has bent one of them when pulling the battery with pretty much identical results that you are seeing.

if you have been using the push reset button make sure it hasn't caught under the body and is staying pressed.
