Has anyone else noticed that the available memory reported by advanced task killer gets lower and lower the longer between restarts? Mine starts out at 205mb after killing all but essentials but within 10 hours it has dropped to 145mb available, and the idle battery drain becomes insane! Where is the available memory going?

Battery goes down about 10%/h

Memory goes down because android is linux and has a different memory management than symbian or winmo.

Is like a prefetch.

Every time you run an app, when you pres back button to exit the app is not closed. Will switch to an iddle state so, CPU is not used but will still be in memory for future use.

When the phone will need memory for a different app, will close the least used app(s) to make space.
[XPERIA X10 General] Punnisher_42:
Oh ok. So that's normal for all android devices?

[Droid Eris Android Development] darchstar:
here you guys go, a quick vendor tree i made for eris.

To make android, first follow the instructions over at source.android.com/source/download.html until you installed repo

from there you will do this

$repo init -u git://github.com/cyanogen/android.git -b eclair-ds
$repo sync

the sync should take a few hours, take a nap or have some coffee in the meantime

now youre going to need to remove the dream_sapphire vendor tree and replace it with this one

$rm -fr vendor/htc/dream_sapphire
$cp -r /path/to/my/vendor/ vendor/htc/dream_sapphire

after thats done you'll need to extract proprietary bits. plug your phone into your computer, make sure adb has proper

permissions, then

$pushd vendor/htc/dream_sapphire
$./extract-files.sh
$popd

from there source the envsetup.sh

$ . build/envsetup.sh

then lunch cyanogen_dream_sapphire-eng and build cyanogenmod with make

$lunch cyanogen_dream_sapphire-eng
$make otapackage -j4

make otapckage will give make you an update.zip named cyanogen_dream_sapphire-ota-eng.'$USER'.zip

I found an issue with your "vendor_htc_desirec/extract-files.sh" file. On my phone I have a couple of differences.

adb pull /system/xbin/echo3 ./

"echo3" can not be found. I have a file called "echo" on my phone.

adb pull /system/lib/hw/sensors.heroc.so ./

"sensors.heroc.so" is called "sensors.desirec.so" on my phone.

adb pull /system/etc/eri.xml ./

"eri.xml" can not be found.

adb pull /system/usr/keychars/heroc-keypad.kcm.bin ./

I have recently found out that my trackball is messed up on my phone. Oddly enough it is only for the up and down directions. 98% of the time it dosnt work but once and awhile it works for one or two swipes. I have tried cleaning the ball with rubbing alcohol and a qtip with no sucess. I have insurance on the phone but if I go that route I want to put a stock Rom on tge device. The problem is that the recovery menu requires the use of the trackball to navagate the menu, thus I am unable to wipe and flash roms. Is there a way to use fast boot? Is there a diffrent way to fix the trackball? Suggestions? Thank you.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mempf:
I have noticed that when I use Pandora on Froyo the audio quality is significantly worse than it was on stock 2.1 or cyanogenmod 5.0.7.1.

I am aware of the High and Normal settings in the preferences however it does not help.

Under 2.1 (stock and cyan) Normal would sound alright and High would sound fantastic.

Under 2.2 (froyo) High sounds bad and normal is horrible.

Has anyone else noticed the sound quality drop in pandora moving to Froyo?

This is independent of the song being streamed and is very noticeable when using good headphones.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonInAtl:
Are you using the stock 2.2 kernel or one with the audioboost patch?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mempf:
I have tried using multiple kernels including stock, cyan 2.6.34 and ravens avs 2.6.33.4 kernels. Does not effect the problem at all.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NismoDrift240:
I'm running Paul's pre-root (including 4.06 radio and kernel that came with it) and sounds great to me, same as before (CM 5.0.6+oc/uv+audio mod+desire cam). In fact I'm not sure if I've reset it to stay on High with 3g yet since I updated. (Tmo USA N1 if it makes a difference ).

Wish I could give helpful input other than its possible. I know I wiped everything I could and flashed it over CM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmejor183:
I as well noticed this problem, tried resting/full wipe, restarting, toggling settings to no results. Terrible audio quality even in high. Other sounds are not affected it seems. Running kernel that the update brought.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiobastard:
Am I the only that has actually plugged the phone into an fm transmitter to use with my car stereo? Of course i am, you kids all have your bluetooth radios and your xms and syriusnessess. When using Pandora, the bass is much much louder in froyo than it was in all previous roms. Kernel with modded sound or not, the bass is big. So, yes, the sound is very different from what it used to be. Mids are too high and highs are meh... nonexistent. It doesn't sound bad on the phone or through earbuds, but unless you like rap, you probably won't like the sound coming through your car. But, I don't think that's anything some decent equilizer software can't fix. Personally, I think the sound is an improvement despite the focus on the lower end of the spectrum. In previous versions, it was to light and airy with no lowend. :cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxawesome:
I am on Froyo, and I notice it.

Also, I notice that songs frequently stop playing in the middle or near the end, and then Pandora seems to fail to recover and skips to the next song. Does that happen for you?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earlyberd:
The same thing happens to me while on 3G, and happens mostly while moving. If I stay still, I can play continuously with no problems. But while walking or driving, I usually can't finish a song before it skips. This also happens on any other internet radio app, like DroidLive and Slacker.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmm:
Yes, I've noted that, as well as fairly frequent brief pauses that do resume and continue to play the current song without skipping to the next. (The combination of my ears and my stereo system are not sufficiently discriminating for me to detect any difference in the audio quality, though.)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spankee:
I've noticed that I can't control the next song, play/pause with the Bluetooth controls anymore. I hit next to skip a song and my music player starts playing while Pandora is still playing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 18.4009:
I use Pandora often in my car and I also can confirm the audio quality is now horrible for me on Froyo.

If I nandroid back to my CM backup it sounds fine but under Froyo it sounds horrible.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r45k:
I also have noticed a decrease in audio quality, but that might be due to changing ROMs from CM to Stock Froyo leak... (don't really know how the builds differer audio wise)

@ maxawesome

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing problems with Pandora. Often my music just stops... sometimes it won't continue streaming either... It worked flawlessly with CM 5.0.6 (though i only use it in my car...)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anosis:
I am also confirming that after the Paul's Froyo zip update the audio quality has decreased dramatically. It almost seems like the sample rate is much lower affecting mostly higher frequency sounds like voice or instruments that produce higher frequencies. The bass sounds ok, but there is alway a small hiss noticable.

Also, when my screen turns off while Pandora is playing I noticed audio drop out over the BT connection. When I force the screen on this does not seem to occur.

Had the desire rom on it before and audio was stunning, almost CD quality.

Hope someone finds a fix or workaround soon.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mempf:
Agreed, happy to know I am not alone with the issue. For now I have reverted to Cyan 5.0.7.1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
i don't know about pandora, but the stock music app sounds a ton better to me, both through headphones and through my car speakers (using the POS 3.5mm to tape adapter, lol)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
The other day I plugged my N1 to my car and noticed the quality was a lot worse. At first I didn't think much about it or even the fact that it was because of Froyo until I came upon this thread. But yeah, the quality is a lot worse now. I am thinking Pandora needs a update.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YettaVR6:
Anyone try Slacker under froyo? Slacker under 2.1 sounds terrible, and Slacker claims it is a codec issue that Google needs to fix. I'm hoping this was fixed in 2.2.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
It actually sounds pretty good for me on Froyo, a hell of a lot better then Pandora
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmejor183:
It seems that other music apps lose the high frequencies in the sound, I just tried Slacker and Pandora and that is what i notice in the sound. I then try to listen to some nice music on the stock player, and a player mod by CacheInjection that can be found around in the development section and the sound is fine, all frequencies, lows, meds, and highs.

Just guessing, it could be a problem with the class calls on the build that the 3rd party players use to play the music. Or the way they access the system itself.

Just guessing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YettaVR6:
Yea something definitely changed. I just tried Slacker myself, and its worse than it was in 2.1. The problem with Slacker in 2.1 was that the bass in certain songs would clip/distort very easily regardless of the volume. Theres a ton of discussion on this over on the Slacker forums. Now in 2.2 Slacker just sounds like a really bad MP3 constantly. I don't notice the bass distorting anymore but i honestly didn't listen to it very much. I had to turn it off because I can't stand that overly compressed sound. It seriously sounds like a 64kbps MP3 now, whereas it used to sound like 128kbps MP3.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearthechicken:
I'm having the same issue as above. I thought it might be the new radio image so I flashed back to 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2 and the problem is still happening. I've also noticed when I listen to a Shoutcast on Tunewiki it has issues also. It doesn't want to stay connected and it makes crazy noises while it is connected. I wonder if these things are related....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Same problem. Pandora sounds like I'm listening to a 48 kb/sec radio stream. However, Droidlive (Xiialive) to listen to shoutcast stations sounds perfect.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjwill:
Uninstalling and reinstalling 1.3 on Froyo didn't seem to help anything for me on FROYO. Tested on normal quality on EDGE, since most of my travels are out of the 3G footprint. I'm running stock Froyo with a rooted kernel, no audio boost. It _may_ be better after the reinstall, but it could be a placebo effect. I may give 2.1 a shot for a while until 2.2 gets final.

Glad I found this thread, I was going nuts thinking that my N1 had lower sound quality than my crappy Behold II.:eek:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
not only is audio worse. but since going to froyo, any type of streaming music cuts out after a few seconds, every single time. using tunewiki for example to listen to shoutcast streams, they only go for a few seconds then break up. then come back. then break up.

what changes did google make and why isnt anything documented in the 2.2 changelog?!?!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docsparks:
On my N1, I use Pandora for hours a day. Flawless audio quality in 2.1

I plug my phone to my AUX input in my car, so i play it loud, real loud.

On 2.2, it sounds like crap, real real crap.

I have the latest version of Pandora.

Something has to be done about this before 2.2 is released.

Have we made any progress yet? anyone able to discover or explain why?

We gotta be able to get somewhere, the quality is again, HORRIBLE.

I know there are few of you that notice no change, but I do. Its not song to song for me, its all songs, all the time. Stock music player on phone, playing Mp3s on phone, sound GREAT still, but Pandora for sure, has a problem playing good sound quality on Froyo.

Please, some pandora employer read this and make SOMEONE aware!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NismoDrift240:
YOU screwed something up then, on YOUR phone.

I use Pandora daily. 3 hrs/day in my car. I'm running Froyo 2.2 Kangorama. I've used the Rodriguezstyle one, the MCR one, and before that, 2.1 with CM, and the Desire Rom. I'll probably have another ROM on it by afternoon too, never a Pandora problem.

If you're having problems, look on your end before coming in here to bark at Pandora. I read 1000s of posts here on XDA to writing one. Lately more and more posts are people DEMANDING someone else fix something about THEIR phone THEY don't like, that THEY did. I don't have 1% of the problems threaded about on XDA, because I do, I break, I re-read and re-do, and "ahhh". Meaning: if something didn't go right with a flash, download/upload, or loading a rom, etc, I re-read the instructions and re-do it. It's amazing how technology works one second, not the next, and again after a reboot/reload.

You changed your phone beyond what the retail version was, the version Pandora is designed for. You tweaked your phone, it's not the job of hundreds of thousands of apps and developers to change with you everytime, it's your job to keep it working. Check an audio mod that didn't load right, a wipe that didn't occur before you loaded the rom, or the CABLE/STEREO you are using. Just because 3 people are in here *****ing about Pandora not working, doesn't mean it's Pandora's problem. How many hundreds of thousands of people are running modified Android handsets, that don't have Pandora problems?

If it worked before, and it's not now, go back and reload/reflash/redo the steps you did in between. Try a different ROM/cable, etc. Hope you figure it out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
how can you be so judgemental like that? you claim he is using non-official software on his phone, but from his post it looks like he's just using standard 2.2 froyo. but then you are running 2.2 froyo as well, and claiming perfect audio. having it both ways...?

here's one, i am using STOCK 2.2 FRF50. not even a single mod, just the straight up original froyo, and i have the horrible audio streaming drop out. are my "hacks and mods" cauing this too? :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mempf:
I'd like to add the audio is still a problem with Pandora on Froyo FRF72.

I'm hoping if nothing else when froyo goes final and is released to a lot more people, the Pandora guys will notice and fix the issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NismoDrift240:
He's running unofficial froyo, just like you and everyone else- Froyo hasn't been released yet. Your "hacks and mods" include your build of Froyo. Try starting over, wipe all, reload the Rom, or try different builds from different developers.

I'm just saying that its not Pandora's problem, its your handset. Pandora works great. (The dop in music is the stutter from the 3g connection, either from a deadspot in coverage or the imperfect radios.I hate that myself too) Once you've rooted and flashed something that isn't sent to you from Google OTA you've in a sense now become a developer yourself.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
its not just pandora. it is tunewiki, pandora, ANY app that streams audio. i have reloaded stock froyo, over and over and over. clean wipe and all. it is a bug in froyo, plain and simple, which is what we are all trying to tell you!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanman1975:
sound quality is fine on my Froyo build (72), but when using nav, Pandora pauses after a voice direction plays and does not restart until you hit play again. That needs to be addressed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NismoDrift240:
The above is the post I originally replied to. Quoted it so you could re-read. He clearly states a problem with Pandora and that "a Pandora employe[e] needs to get on it." Unbunch your BVDs.

In your case you can try to reload the stock-stock Elcair rom, see if Pandora works there. If not, then you've eliminated the rom as the issue. If so, redownload another copy of your rom, or try another build. In your case it may be the copy you have, not version but the copy of the file itself. I've had imperfect downloads that have caused my N1 to run weird. I redownload it again, reload, and all is well.

I'm not trying to sound like a prick, but people need to figure out how to do a little diagnosing of their own instead of barking at the great individuals who build these (unfinished) free apps and builds, especially when it works for everyone else but you.

Confirmation there is still a difference in audio quality on FRF83.

I did I blind test where a friend would pass me headphones only connected to my Nexus One, randomly selected to be either 2.1 or 2.2 FRF83. I was able to guess correctly only based on listening to Pandora because of this change in audio quality.

This test was repeated multiple times, randomly choosing Froyo or Eclair, without my knowledge.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermee:
Just updated here from CM 5.0.x (2.1) to FRF83 and the FRF50 radio firmware and have the same issue.

Pandora audio quality isn't up to par on 2.2 than on 2.1. Something has changed between 2.2 and 2.1. I've doubled checked the simple setting for "High" quality. There's definitely an issue.

You, sir, need a dose of Valium.

I notice on FRF83 when on the dock streaming pandora but connected to the radio by wires not bt that the sound seems muffled and not as clear as 2.1 but if i undock the phone but still hardwired to the radio the sound is louder and slightly clearer. anyone notice this too?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
I keep on going back to 2.1 just because of it, I can't stand the audio quality of slacker and Pandora on froyo. Currently running 0.9final kang o Rama on frf83, problem still there.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballkyle:
I'm running FRF85B on my N1. Pandora will not progress to the next song automatically (this is typically with the screen off). If I turn the screen on, unlock the device, Pandora then advances to the next song. This happens every single time. Randomly the song will cut off mid-song.

This has happened on FRF83 & FRF72 as well. It's always tested on a freshly wiped device, w/ WiFi, and nothing else running (not a memory mgmt issue). I have also, numerous times in fact, uninstalled the app and reinstalled and then re-tested. Same result every single time.

I am aware of others complaining also of diminished audio quality on streaming apps (Pandora, Slacker, etc.) with Froyo. I haven't really noticed that so much, but mainly because I can't listen to that much streaming music with it stopping all the time LOL!

Any ideas on this one?
