I have that problem sometimes, it doesn't connect to internet no matter how many times I enable and disable APNDroid or switch between 3G and 2G. Only a reboot gets my internet back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
how bout u radgu, do u apndroid?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
this is not the first AOSP ROM u have used? cos Market will auto restore your apps when in yr prev ROM, u ticked 'back up my settings ' in the Privacy sub menu so it saved a list of apps in the cloud. if u don't want it to auto restore, u will need to wipe data then don't enter yr Google account email in the Setup wizard. Cancel the wizard and uncheck 'back up my settings' then do the Setup again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
lol i've never really let it have the chance to auto restore.

titanium always step in 1st
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
but if u don't uncheck 'back up my settings ' then it might install an old app that is not in titanium restore

i redo my titanium everytime i flash a new rom lol

i mean my titanium is as new as my nandroid

Re: [ROM][Vanilla 2.1][UPDATE Wed 9 Jun] VanillaEclair 3.3 RC4 "E.T. phone home!"

Mine works
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Hello RaduG,

I'd like to report my first proper battery status, where I didn't once plug it in when running.

I'm happy to say I got over 50 hours of daily usage, including Calls, SMS, The occasional wikipedia, and browsing awesome application on the Android Market.

I plugged it in this morning with 8% battery left.

This is simply and amazing ROM! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
After almost 2 days (43 hours) battery is still at 78%, only made a few calls and text messages.

I'm very pleased how the battery is holding up so strong :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Thanks for reporting your battery life. Very good indeed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naholyr:
But... You use this phone only for texting and calling ? Why do you need a smartphone ? oO

I mean, if you don't use any of social networks, Internet, calendars, games, etc. you could just have a Nokia 3310 whose battery lasts 2 weeks.

I'm starting to understand how people can have such great battery life that I can never reach, it's just they don't use their phone :P

I'd like to have feedbacks on battery life from people who :

- Have Twitter and Facebook sync

- Send like 2 or 3 SMS and pass 1 or 2 calls a day

- Have a Google Reader news reader synced too

- Have a nice time/weather widget like Beautiful Widgets

- Surf on Internet or play online games something like 1h30 a day (my daily train transport time)

And if they have more than 24h, I want to know what of these apps they use and what configuration :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Oh, but I use facebook, twitter, internet(a lot, that's why I bought a hero)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
I use most of the other things too, but I wanted to know how the battery holds while not doing to much with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
That's basically my usage, except I don't play games, and browse the net a bit more. I got the 50 hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
Mobile network disabled when not in use i guess?:eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Actually, for the first day I had Wifi on, which disables Mobile Network, but on the second day, I had Mobile Network enabled. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
Unbelieveable, now flashing :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
I'm one of those.

-I have FB, Twitter (I use Seesmic),

-Auto sync, Google Mail, Android and Me widget

-News and Weather widgets

-20+ text a day

-2-3 calls (usually 30-60 minutes long!)

-browsing and all the good things our SmartPhones can do.

Yesterday I had from 88% down to 12% in around 25Hrs since last unplugged.

I use the Genie News and Weather widget constantly, no need for a RSS reader app for me any longer and this connects to the browser only on request but updates I have set to 2 hourly same for Seesmic and Android and me widget

Very good I would say.

For me the Battery is awesome :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
Nice work on this rom mate i had to use the 245/576 pack as well as my hero just locks up on the standard pack. i had to increase the screen off speed with overclock to as mine was struggling to wake up from standby.

So if battery life is as good as everyone is saying then finally this could be a keeper cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iholmstrom:
RaduG, is this possible to get a fix for in the final version? The "active call"-display in RC4 makes me mad since my ear hits the hold-button in almost every call :P

Thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Yes mate, it will be fixed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iholmstrom:
Thanks a lot! You're awesome! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
iwm using about 1.5h of phone calls, constant 3G connection, using the internet for about 1h, about 5-10 SMS. the battery lasts for 18h ( i plug it for the night, when i still have ABOUT 25% LEFT).

i would say that the battery life is great compared to other ROMS.

i would like to thank RaduG for the excellent work!!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
This is my battery consommation of yesterday. Not as good as a 30 hours, but enough for a one day utilisation.

3g on, wifi on, gps on, facebook syncing, Reader widget syncing, google services syncing (not always so good, I have to report. I often must sync gmail manualy), hearing music (about 1hour), surfing a lot on xda forum, often reading stuffs for long periods (facebook, reader, mail, worldcup results, etc).

And BTW 360 orientation works like a charm. Woooo.

You can get those graphics with Battery snap on the Market.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naholyr:
Very good for me :) Thanks !

For the moment I lost 45% this morning (around 10%-15%/hr which is the same than Villain for example), but it seems to be related to the 80 auto-installed apps of yesterday :P I cleaned this up to keep only ~50 apps and it's very more quiet now ;)

I'll let you know in 2 days if I have the wonderful battery life you others have :D I hope so, soooo badly !

P.S: oh, and by the way, the Market is fastest ever than any other custom ROM I tried !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naholyr:
@Judim : what do you use to see the battery percents in the status bar icon ?

Again, that would be very nice to me ;) I'm not more greedy than 25h, I just want to still have 25% when I go to bed, after something like 16 hours unplugged. And that sounds very realistic here.

Well, note that I reached that with BeHero+ and the latest kernel by Benham, but I'd like to get rid of Sense so I don't get too used to this for my next phone ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
Worked like charm, thanks man! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Aafjes:
Great work on the ROM! I have one problem though. I can't get connected to the Google servers. So I can't check GMail, can't use Market, etc.

When trying to log in the data connection doesn't really do some thing. It does work while using internet and stuff.

Please help me out :)

I get to the screen where it tells me that my phone must communicate with the Google servers. This could take 5 minutes. After a minute waiting it stops logging in and tells me that it can't make a trusted data connection with the server.

Edit: Never mind... Wiped everything again and reflashed again. Works now :)

this rom works very well for me, the speed is good

i switched from ADW launcher to LauncherPro, especially the app drawer works alot better than ADW

i have 2 issues though:

* GPS works!

- for some reason, i can't send .doc, .apk files from my pc to my device using bluetooth (worked with the official taiwan 2.1 update), however mp3 files and pictures work fine

- and last, with BeHero+ v1.2 and behnaam #23 kernel @ 690mhz, the "using touchscreen slows down games" issue was completetly gone. With this rom it's still better than the stock rom, however it's still not completetly smooth

ps i have no issues with the new dialer, i actually prefer that one, together with proximity sensor u don't have any issues

no issues with battery life whatsoever
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Immortal_Baron:

Noticed an issue : the camera cannot zoom anymore :/

This happens only with stock camera, when I use "Magic Camera" for example, zoom is OK.

I have successfully send mails from the Gmail app.

Now however it suddenly doesn't send anymore. It keeps telling me that the mail is busy sending, but nothing happens. The sync icon does appear however and the 3G data is busy (up and down). Does someone have a clue?

I did a reboot already.

It's primarily dependent on Google reader. You get the feeds you want on Google reader, then you can two way sync with Google using the app.

There are others like feedr, beyond pod, ....

Help me find a good task killer

I have many apps but use them all once in a while. My battery drains fast but spare parts doesn't show me much. (Runnin, wifi,data and other reg stuff...). Is there any good task killer that would kill everyhing when the phone goes to sleep? Otherwise I'll have to flash again and install one app at a time, which I don't really wanna do that...

I would have tought that if an app was draining my battery spare parts would show it???

Everything is REALLY fast, and working well.

Also, the Spare Parts application is really nice with all the settings.

I'll keep wifi on and see if it drains too much.

One thing, could you change the Power Control widget back to green colour, the CM version has blue buttons? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Summered:
Not really a bug, but the camera app is really bad compared to the one included with Sense; it's light years ahead :(

Too bad there aren't any good replacements as far as I know.

@iiro

Yes, it's just a matter of images.

@Summered

You can try a camera app from the market, there are many good ones.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
I had this. Happened when I received a message with the screen off, but I used SetCPU to up the "Screen Off" frequency and I haven't seen it since.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
That happens because of the low frequency on system sleep, 176MHz. You can use SetCPU/OC Widget to get it up to 245MHz or so.

Could you develop what doesn't work properly with ADW exactly? I'm currently running the last version and it works flawlessly :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yozgatg:
well i didn't have any problems with ADW either

the difference is speed

opening the app drawer (middle button on the bottom) is much faster in launcherpro (animated like nexus one) and also the scrolling is silky smooth

in ADW, opening the app drawer isn't as smooth if u're using animated drawer (even when speed is set to the fastest), and scrolling is a bit laggy to be honest

apart from the app drawer, both launchers are pretty much the same in speed / scrolling

I'd recommend letting it go all the way down until it shuts itself down, then plug it in, boot into recovery and wipe battery. It should be much better from then onwards. I've unplugged my hero Friday 12 midday and it's still at 52% now, Sunday 4am morning (yeah, don't ask ^__^). So, I'd say battery life is more than decent with VE 3.3RC4.

plugged it in for a full charge...

unplugged it when the led turned green, (Battery 99%)

then used only wifi and games and texting hardcore from 4.30am to 8am (3.5 hours continious at the airport LOL!) after which the battery dropped to yellow and i left it.

got 2 callss of around 5 mins each in between.... 8am - 11am (3 hours)

Now its 11.30am and ive seen its turned itself off. (roughly 7 hours since boot)

i use advanced task killer to close programs, all of my apps and gmaes are on my sd (around 70 total)

WHAT IS GOING ON ???? i didnt expect such poor battery life!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@subhramani

Flash the lo-kernel linked in the first post.

@Immortal_Baron

Did you recovered your apps via Titanium Backup or you've installed them by hand from the market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ossa_alex:
yeah, same here. after 2 hours of using only 50% left.

made 15 photos (default camera),

sent 3 mms (mobile net)

sync gmail (mobile net)

now I'm using SysMonitor and I see that CPU usage always 50% or higher.

How do I know who does it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnk1348:
Guys, if you're using your phone intensively (Wifi, games, etc.) for 3.5hours straight, it's kinda normal that battery drains faster...

Concerning ADW, I guess I didn't notice any speed difference with Launcher Pro cause I never use the animated function... I don't like all these fancy stuffs, that's why I love Vanilla ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
I have heavy usage of my phone and have not experienced this type of drain, the only drain I do notice is after a long call, 1 hr plus.

With this ROM, if the phone does not go to sleep, the battery will drain.

If the phone does not sleep it is usually some app that is active in the background, Spare Parts will normally show the active app
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
This issue is very strange. If you have problems with the phone sleeping, please post a list with all your installed apps.

EDIT: I've been working on A2DP but I don't seem to make any progress... have to follow another lead.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hexen29:
Don't have time to read all previous posts, so apologies if this is already reported.

Still getting warm up screen corruption occasionally. Have flashed Lo-Kernel.

I haven't wiped since RC2 though - so maybe people who have done a full wipe with RC4 won't experience this.

Also - I'm getting excellent battery life. Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
The wakeup issues are not related to not performing wipes... it's because of the low frequencies. From what I can see, most of you that have wakeup issues have a T-Mobile G2, not the 'original' Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thenoble06:
Got to admit I have a G2 on T Mobile, and I've only had the wake up issue once or twice running RC4. Its not much of a problem really, just press the power button twice and away I go.

I have found that the zoooooooooooom doesn't work on the camera and that I can't get GPS working but apart from that this ROM is amazing. It is my first non Sense ROM and I'm not going back :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hexen29:
Just tested GPS - got a fix in about 20 seconds.
