Somewhere in here xda I read about this.

=> Let battery go to 0%

=> Charge 8h+

=> Turn off and unplug

=> Turn on for couple of minutes, then turn off

=> Charge 1h and unplug

=> Turn on for couple of minutes, then turn off

=> Charge 1h

Or something like that... Has helped many and boosted battery capacity.

I Know this and i have try it without effects
[Desire Android Development] ZigmaDK:
I still have OJ death problem on 3.6.1.

Is this because I didn't wipe? Or just because AOSP sources don't have this fixed yet?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Just because AOSP sources don't have this fixed yet. kali keeps trying.

Guess we'll just have to wait till HTC release the sources
[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Some problems are there with and without a wipe, like wireless disconnecting and market not downloading (I think caused if you skip the setup wizard, atleast if I follow the setup wizard it always works).
[Desire Android Development] tomjol:
Approaching 1 day, 14 hours since unplugged. 50% battery remaining. Gotta love that 2G radio.
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
If that was the case then surely I'd have both those problems (which I don't) - never do the initial setup. Also the market issue is being reported by users of CM Defrost and one on LeoDroid too - could be the market itself.
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
:( um when i reboot into 'opendesire', it just stays on the android logo. ive left it on for hours and its stayed the same. i restored the original htc sense but i want froyo :)

can anyone help me pls? im a n00b sorry :confused:
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Did you partition your SD card?
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
no... i just got my desire.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Btw OpenDesire is froyo without sense. If you want sense, you might try a different sense rom.

To install OD, the SD card needs partitioning to have an EXT partition.

Imo use unrevoked to flash amonra recovery then partition sd card via that.
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
try wiping everything and installing one .zip at a time. also you have to install 3.6.0 then you can install 3.6.1 but if you want any mods ie notifaction bar, then install that after a successful boot
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
you dont "need" a partition it just gives more free memory, i formatted my sd earlier with no partition and it was fine :)
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
I just remember that my first time installing OD went to android bootloop because of lack of sd card partition. All else was normal.

i'm gonna sleep now. can't wait up all night for new OD release :( thanks in advance adam
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
what are you talking about? i have been running od for 2 days without having a faormated sd...its totaly optional..
[Desire Android Development] sheepd:
I've got another question:

Loving the ROM so far, by far the best I've tried.

Since it says

Open

Desire, where can I find the source code? Specifically, the source code for the Settings.apk file with this really nice settings widget. :)

Would like to tweak around a bit with this one to learn a bit more about Android programming.
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
wait what? so what do i do with this bootloop?
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
i meant i formatted it as my sd was playing up, when i reflashed OD without a partition it was fine. in other words i was just saying that it doesnt need a partition, that it works with a normal SD, sorry shouldve been clearer ;)
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
wipe everything, then install 3.6.0 then it should boot up fine, but dont flash anything else with it, then when its booted then you can flash whatever else, not to e patronising but you are wiping dalvik, data, cache and whatever else arent you?
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
wait what... im a n00b i have no idea what you're talking about sorry
[Desire Android Development] morcus:

Perhaps it has been already said, but your radio is up to date ?
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
yea i saw something about flashing my radio but should i do this b4 i install opendesire, or afterwards? and is the most up-to-date radio really necessary? what is it for?

what i did was this:

buy htc desire

download adb drivers + set desire to usb debugging mode

used www.unrevoked.com to root my phone

downloaded the opendesire zip file to my sd card

did a backup of my phone (in clockworkmod recovery? i think)

installed the zip file

reboot

then i get stuck on bootloop
[Desire Android Development] morcus:
for me Radio could be compared as drivers :/

This is used to use gps, gsm, bluetooth .... and some other things.

In order to run Froyo, you need one of the lastest radio rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464

I use this one : 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

EDIT : I think it's radio problem, try with a new one, after installing the new one,

wipe all, everything you can wipe, then re-flash opendesire 3.6.0, then 3.6.1 ^^

It should then work ;)

EDIT2 : Just a question for everyone, is it good to have a swap partition with opendesire ?

I saw somewhere that this is not good, and somewhere else that this is good ... o_O

I don't know what to think.
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
kk i can see what you mean but like teach me one step at a time.. lol im new to this
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
ok so your using clockwork?

1 sec and ill upload some screens from AmonRa its slightly different but it looks similar so just bare with me mate;)
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
sure no problem :)
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
just realised i cant do screens from recovery, so from what i remember, if you turn off your device, or just pull the battery, then put it back in, hold vol - and power untill you get the white screen, scroll down using vol - until you get to recovery, press power to confirm, then it will either go straight to clockwork (black screen with green writing) or if not scroll down to apply update.zip, when you have got to clockwork, scroll down using vol - to wipe, then wipe EVERYTHING except for wipe SD card. after that, go back to install .zip from SD and choose opendesire_3.6.0, let it do its thing for about 5 mins, give or take, then when its said its installed reboot the phone and let me know how you get on :) if my directions are slightly wrong, then just let me know and ill guide form there
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
i use a 32mb swap and mine works fine, i think its something to do with the ram from what i read? not sure but like i said mine works fine with 32mb but then again it worked fine with 0mb do whatever i think mate
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
um i only have two choices of wipes

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache partition

um so which one do i choose?

im in clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.7
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
oh yea thats right wipe both and then go back and there should be an advanced option and in there will be dalvik or its in another option but just go through them until you find dalvik and then wipe it then do the steps i said. sorry like i said i use AmonRa :D
[Desire Android Development] morcus:
Thanks :)

I think I'm gonna give a try.

32mb is enough ? Perhaps 256mb would be better then ...
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
wow thanks its working now... going to see if anything's wrong tho (like needing to update the radio and stuff)
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
from what i read, people were having problems when doing more than 32mb so id say just do 32mb for now. but remember before you download any apps, its advised to do a reboot 1st and then download "quick system info" from the market, it tells you how much space you have left on your partition. quite a handy app to be honest
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
really? im glad i could be of help. with new radio my signal has improved and my download speed was ~1000kbps

now its ~3000kbps so i would recommend it but people say they have problems with it, if so just flash the previous one, also if you have any wifi issues just go back a few pages and it tells you how to fix it ;):p
[Desire Android Development] morcus:
Thanks for the tips :)

I'll make only 32mb swap then.

and I'm already downloading the app =)

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Nah it's not just the market it's Google talk authentication too. For me it happens only when I skip the wizard, if I don't it works and also if I restore with TB directly after skipping.

For the people above, OD doesn't need an ext partition but it is optional.

As for swap partition, it's also optional and only used when your memory was full. For non Sense ROM's usually useless we should have much more free memory. Check this by going into a console and type 'free' without quotes.

Also the size of swap 'should' not matter along it does not exceed your current memory size, swap works best 1:1.

/pray OD4 brings wireless back when I wake up :p

Also Aunder90, could you check in a terminal how much of your swap is actually used? Just type free and it will give some stats. You can force swap space being used by running lots of apps after eachother, swap should be filled with "old" memory that wasn't used anymore.

I have never really seen more than 30-40mb swap used, free memory is always low after some usag at bootup usualy over 140mb.
[Desire Android Development] aunder90:
@sfjuocekr

i get 0. tbh i dont understand it at all i just saw when i first rooted and did the partition that people were saying to use 32mb, and i saw more people saying to use 32mb than people saying use 0mb so i went with 32 lol. it works fine for me so im not gonna change but if i encounter any problems then ill go to 0mb. thanks for the help though.

oh btw i flashed 3.6 earlier on its own and im not having any problems. no wifi sleep issues or anything. are you flashing the update.signed.zip? as when i did it thats when it all went wrong.

ps if i dont answer its cos it 4am now and im tired :(;)
[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
swapon: /dev/block/mmcblk0p3: Function not implemented

This is the cause of your swap showing zero, it is probably not even enabled either. Had just made a swap partition to see if it made any feasable gain on a non Sense ROM, but as it seems enabling swap is broken on OD ><

Also if you want to have swap enabled by bootup you need to add it by using an init script.

Do this in an adb shell, phone needs to be in recovery like ClockWorkMod ... I can't seem to get a shell with AmonRA.

[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
I might have found the problem for people where SetCPU doesn't work at boot time!

Atleast when I made the partition to test swap, I accidently also made an ext partition and now SetCPU doesn't load at bootup.

You can test this by forgetting the SU rights for SetCPU, reboot phone and then SU should ask for permission but it doesn't and if you then start SetCPU without SU permission you can also see it has reverted to default 998+ondemand.

/edit: Quadrant also confirms this 1500 vs 1800.

I tried moving SetCPU to /system/app/ and this didn't work either.

Did a full wipe before installing this Rom and did patch afterwards...yet there's too many Force Close.

Help...What to do?
[Desire Android Development] vfreeze_31:
Hi,

I have had my Desire for about a month now and been using OpenDesire on 2 days less than that.

I must say thank you to AdamG for his work in collating the patches and updates into one easy to use ROM. Maybe to save you from stress so much, you may want to consider maybe only doing your updates once a week unless a bug needs urgent attention.

I have not had a problem with this ROM (but I have not used any other) except maybe ones that were related to me overclocking, so I jumped that down, did a complete wipe and reinstall, and all seems smooth now.

There are some little things, but looking around, they seem common problems with multiple ROMS.

There are is 1 thing I would like but may not be possible without the HTC framework and that is the FM Radio.

But 1 thing you may be able to fix, since I have just started using the Hands Free, the answer button does not work and it seems RichardTrip may have that working in his DeFrost ROM.

Thank you for all you work

Kind Regards
[Desire Android Development] romut:
You're right, I tried in plane mode, and whaou, no more "tic tic...". So yes, this ticking sound comes from the GSM signal. But my old iPhone edge has no ticking problem with the same headphones.

Even in plane mode, the Desire has a lot of background noise. Regarding sound quality when playing music, the iPhone is far ahead HTC. In phone communication sound quality, I guess it's the opposite :D
[Desire Android Development] kuailan:
Just wondering, does anyone know where can I get the DSP manager for installation? I just tried out DeFrost ROM, and would really love it to be installed in OD ROM. Thanks.

awesome **** with open desire + some tweaks my HTC runs 5 days without a charge!

And with a stock HTC rom it couldn't last till the end of the day...

I'm running v3.5.2 is it worth upgrading to v3.6.x? I can't find the change log and how to update (do i need to wipe? or just flash new rom on top?). Cuz 3.5.2 runs really nice, except the camera app is kinda crap.
[Desire Android Development] Lars8000:
Nice, but don´t you use your phone? Can see there is a lot of standby and idle, and no wifi or 3G??
[Desire Android Development] Originalas:
it show how much every task is consuming battery time by % JUST AT THAT MOMENT. Since Open Desire doesn't have any extra bull**** running by default, there are no apps or whatsoever to consume battery like it was plenty of crap on stock HTC ROM there every extra just did nom nom with left battery time...

Why would you need 3G and wifi at the same time? :) I'm running setCPU, that sets CPU to minimum, then phone is on standby. And Process manager that kills all background apps, then you turn phone screen off.

5 day time is: 30-60min of grooveshark over wifi, some web browsing ~15min and ~10min calls every day. It was enough to kill battery with stock HTC rom in a bit over 24 hours. And with Open Desire phone runs better then any single smartphone on the market (I've tested almost everything from Nokia n97 to the iPhone, the best times was with N97 up to 4 days, but it has ultra sluggish CPU.)! And Desire is overclocked up to 1.38GHz.. So without OC it maybe could run and a whole week without a single charge.. :)
[Desire Android Development] qualitycontrol:
This thread is getting quiet, a couple of weeks ago it was hard to keep up and I had to back read 10 pages or so. This may be due to the rock solid 3.6.x release. Most of the issues are already identified and possible fixes are logged on the bug tracker.

This ROM has become the most mature for the Desire and we have Adam and this community to thank for that.

Now looking forward to version 4 and a couple of chaotic days after release. :)
[Desire Android Development] Andyokane:
Not sure why but last night battery was at 100% when i woke up this morning it was on 54% :S

No wifi or data connection on.....
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
The battery usage display does NOT show which task is consuming battery at that exact moment. It displays how much battery was consumed by components and processes over the last discharge, starting from the moment the phone was disconnected from the charger.

According to these statistics, your display was off so much of the time that it doesn't even show up... even with HTC's borked power usage statistics (heavily biased... "real" power consumption has display power usage about 5-10x higher), I'm guessing your phone was on standby nearly the whole time. As the display draws a ton of power and the CPU was in sleep mode for all but 2 hours or so for the entire charge (as per your description), the battery life, while enviable, isn't surprising :)

We could just take this to mean that OpenDesire's idle/standby power usage is insanely good ;). Unfortunately, that doesn't help most of the users in this thread, because we all play with our phones way too much :D
[Desire Android Development] tttommy:
Check if there's any apps running in the foreground. I flashed 3.6.1 yesterday, and also lost about 50% overnight. In my case it was once again the mms.apk which was keeping the phone from sleeping.

3.6.1 is great Adam! Thanks:)
[Desire Android Development] Originalas:
you are wrong or stats are bugged.. maybe a bit of both. :)

You can clearly see, that grooveshark is playing music from the internet and wifi is on. Though I tried refreshing stats, it just doesn't show grooveshark or wifi.. Same with the browser.. As I said ~1h30min of internet music with grooveshark, ~40min of browsing, some app installing, checking the settings (dunno how much it took :) ) and ~20min of calls over last 3 days.. Maybe not the biggest phone addict, but it's still kills stock HTC desire in a less then two days same with iphone 3GS. The best performance I've got were with Nokia and Sony smartphones, though they didn't reached the fifth day and were extremely slow compared to this 1.3GHz lightning fast linux device.

And I know for sure, that like in stock HTC rom the battery stats just shows that apps is running at the moment and consuming or consumed battery.. because then you kill an app, it's out of the battery list too.
[Desire Android Development] Andyokane:
Great! thanks for the info and link! I will try this now.
[Desire Android Development] Ramshanker:
Fantastic ROM Adam thank you ! . Out of all the rom's I've tried this has to be my favourite. Battery life is good, the phone is fast and stable.

The only issue I have so far is the camera application crashing. I get a program error message telling me to close the camera application. I'm running 3.5.2 after a full wipe.

Any advice people ?..

I searched the thread by the way, didn't bring anything up..
[Desire Android Development] Originalas:
sounds like old radio. Do you have 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 update? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
The stats are, most definitely bugged, as of roughly OpenDesire 3.0.0. As of that version, they were tweaked to reflect the stats provided by HTC Sense ROMs, which are, quite simply, completely wrong. However, they're all bugged the same way, so it's definitely possible to compare values across Sense-Style power statistics ROMs... such as OpenDesire.

It doesn't show grooveshark or WiFi because they're not over 1% use yet.

That's not the case. Otherwise Grooveshark and WiFi would show up right away...

There's nothing to debate - the percentages shown there are power use during the entire last discharge - not momentary.
[Desire Android Development] Originalas:
So total of >1h30min grooveshark playing music from internet doesn't even consume 1% of battery..? And just ~4% of wifi? :)
[Desire Android Development] Ramshanker:
Hi, Thanks for the reply. yes I'm running the latest radio. I take it you don't have any issues with the camera ?

The exact error message says ! Sorry, Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding. I then have the option of Force closing or waiting

[Desire Android Development] Originalas:
it works with stills and 720p video for me. Though UI is totally rubbish as the picture quality compared to Sense 2.2... So maybe it's the stock app problem or ROM itself?

And for camera app errors, usually it is because of wrong radio or wrong settings, because user didn't wiped the cache before flashing to the new rom.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
With the borked battery usage statistics from HTC Sense, yes. That's pretty much why I was making such a fuss about those statistics back when OpenDesire switched to them (before it had accurate power statistics, but that was causing people to complain because they thought the display was using more power on OpenDesire as opposed to on Sense ROMs, even though it was just inaccurate statistics on Sense)...

If you use a ROM with accurate battery use statistics, anomalies like these won't even show up.

Obviously Grooveshark is using more battery than is currently shown... but 1h30m of audio playback via WiFi (which ought to be relatively low power if you've got a good signal) with the screen off isn't going to drain THAT much ;)

Like I said: Your battery life is enviable, but your usage profile is very different from most other OpenDesire users, or even Custom ROM users in general. :)
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
From the Defrost and CM threads it Looks like it's something from CM6 doing it. There's a fix in the CM nightlies, hopefully Adam can fit it in or knock up a patch to go with OD4.
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
If you install the modified gallery (gallery3m.zip iirc - it's in the theming forum) you can view photo's in almost-as-good-as HTC quality but it doesnt change the actual camera view, though Adam did mention he's working on getting the HTC camera app across too so I'm happy to live with it till then.
[Desire Android Development] Originalas:
yes, same room with a linksys wrt160nl so signal is probably close to 100%.

Well, using too much phone will fu*k up eyes and etc. in no time. :) These phones like Desire or iPhone is totally evil, so I don't use it then it's possible to get a notebook and wouldn't recommend to use them for games, movies and etc. because such small screen are tens times worse the normal PC's.. Good for music on the go and phone calls, but evil for extended web browsing and movies. :)
