[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniacx21:
I had that problem at one point, although not so severely. Froyo put an end to it but I have a strong feeling the problem will return since I am starting to notice a ~1/2 second lag between pressing the button and the phone waking up.

I think the problem lies in the hardware/software interaction for the button. Can you try something:

-Plug in your phone to your computer

-Start logCat* on your computer

-Keep messing around with your phone while its still connected (logCat will keep scrolling by itself, displaying the system log - if it doesn't, scroll to the bottom of the log and it should begin auto-scroll)

-Wait for the problem to come back

-Press the power button ONCE and see if ANYTHING shows up in logCat that coincides with you pressing the button.

The reason I say this is that I tried this with my phone (i'm a dev so I had it plugged in at the time already) and when I clicked the power button, although the screen would not turn on, logCat would indicate that the Android system registered the click.

Post the results for everyone, if you would be so kind.

*logCat is part of Android-SDK and can be downloaded from the Android Developer's Resources.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardynine:
it's most likely a hardware issue with the button itself. 3 weeks ago I had a very similar problem where the button was working 1 out maybe 5 times. I called up HTC and they sent me a new one (well technically they're refurbished but I honestly couldn't tell the difference). I was rooted and everything, but they still didn't charge me for it. New phone is still working just fine.

So give them a try.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSigler:
It sounds like a hardware issue to me too, but like someone already said logcat will tell us for sure. You can use alogcat from the market on your phone if you don't have the sdk installed (and I'm guessing you don't if you're waiting for an OTA for froyo).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniacx21:
How will the OP view alogcat (installed on the phone) if the sleep/wake button is what's in question?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiken:
Well everytime android acknowledges a wake from the power button, it will be indicated in the logcat. I think it's something like "I/power: set screen_state 1"

So maybe that is an indication that the power press is being registered. And if the OP is certain that he really did press 5 times and only one time works, then there should only be one line that indicates that.

If the logcat reads 5 power presses, then it may be the display problem.

Then again this is just my speculation. I have no idea how to read logcats.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniacx21:
Ahh. I believe you misunderstand my intention;

The logcat output won't explicitly say that the sleep/wake button was pressed, rather you would see some indication of background [system] activities reacting to the press (you would see 'x many' log entries appear RIGHT when you clicked the power button). There would be no way to tell for sure if you see it after the fact. You would essentially be clicking the button with your finger while staring at the logcat output on your computer. You could not do that with alogcat (from the market) as the [device's] display would be off at the time.

*I bolded alogcat to differentiate it from logcat.

For those unfamiliar, the Android system (and activities spawned by applications) send 'messages' to a sub-system in the Android-OS called logcat. The logcat is used by developers to find out at what part of the program an error occurred while debugging as they can output detailed error logs to it from their app. Logcat also outputs things such as results from OTA checkins so Google can debug the OTA system to make sure it is pulling the correct download paths, ect. This was put in place by Google devs (and led to the public finding out the google server addresses of the Froyo 'test' builds).

On average, there are 2-3 logcat entries added per second when the device is being used, and about 0.1 logcat entries per second when the device is in standby mode. What we are looking for in this case is whether there is a sudden surge of entries when the button is pressed, indicating that SOME part of the Android system recognized the press. The entries wouldn't have anything to do with the button itself, but if the same [few] entries come up EVERY time you press the power button and nothing happens visually, you know something was triggered.

Logcat is a software that runs on your computer (what we want in this case) that lets you view log entries in real time. Alogcat on the other hand, is a software that RUNS ON YOUR PHONE that allows you view log entries in real time.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Do you use a taskiller? Ever since I got burned by a taskiller, I've been wary about them. Not wary enough to uninstall them though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunerclaps:
Not a fix:

But a workaround would be using Trackball Wake to circumvent having to use the power button to wake your device. Especially since you are not running on Froyo.

Can you guys describe damage control.

but overall

How can you determine what rom is faster and more efficient in turns of battery life and speed?

Which one..if you use one or the other or both, do you think is best in these areas.

What do you like and dislike about them?

thanks in advance
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbp776:
Everyone has their own like and dislike. Both ROM is good.. I tried both rom for a week one after another. Both gave same amount of battery life and performance. This is with OC. But hey this is my opinion and it does not count out of 1 million other opinions.:D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaqkAudio:
Fresh 2.1.2 with OC (min 245, max 710), I get 2.9-3.0 in Linpack. I've wanted to try DamageControl out, but I'm currently waiting for Darch to release his 2.2 ROM.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remusMax:
I've used both also, and have gone through many different ROM's. I've ended up sticking with DC 2.0.9. The main reason is that DC has a config option that allows me to prevent HTC Sense, Sprint Apps (except VoiceMail), and others from booting at start up. this requires that i use the Helix Launcher, but hey, i think i like it better then the Sense launcher. It doesn't have the same glean to it, and he widgets aren't as fancy, but much longer battery, a touch faster, and a bit more stable. i haven't been able to get overclock to work on DC though.

Opinions are like A$$holes, everyone's got one...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwheel596:
Should've added a poll for people to vote on :p

But I say Fresh 2.1.2 and agree with the guy up there that said to OC it
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineman78:
I personally use Fresh 2.1.2 due to battery life, but I think Darch is probably faster. My personal reason for using Fresh is to be able to change some settings that Darch has hidden that enable me to double my battery life(I have really bad signal at work). Also, remember Fresh ROM comes with the HTC kernel, which is not overclockable; so if you want to OC it, you will have to switch to Toast's kernel. Unfortunately flipz hasn't released a version of Fresh Toast that includes many of his performance tweaks in 2.1.2, so I actually found 2.1.2 to be faster than Fresh Toast 2.1 even with it OCed.

[XPERIA X10 General] sushi143:
Just curious question, been browsing for the past few days after root was achieved and didn't see this topic mention(unless i missed it). But are dev. just gonna skip with the 2.1 roms and go for a 2.2 rom instead?
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Devs do what they want, it's unpossible to predict what ROMs might be interesting to put together. On one hand 2.2 is way faster and more exciting from a technical point of view but otoh SE will release a 2.1 soonish and it might be easier to mod that.
[XPERIA X10 General] sushi143:
yeh i know, thats why i said curious question, haha i wasn't demanding that they make this or that ^.^, just wanted to see where we stand now after getting root. Hopefully one of those dev got really bored from working on a rom and read my post and answer...haha
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Hehe, the point really is that it's way too early to speculate about building ROMs. I'm betting that a lot of time is being spent on "fixing" the bootloader, I'd be surprised if there was any ROM development going on at all besides fixing any problems caused by the rooting.

Once we have a hacked bootloader we can do anything and since the hardware is fairly close to the Nexus One or Desire it shouldn't be very difficult to port 2.2. It could probably be done in less than a few days, maybe more if there are driver issues.
[XPERIA X10 General] Straf:
Kitchen is closed till bootloader gets broken. When it's done, i'm quite sure only froyo will be developed.
[XPERIA X10 General] OwLOwLOwL:
Hi,

I havent toyed around much with bootloaders and android.. but does the bootloader check the kernel checksum before invoking the kernel? ... How does the bootloader determine what kernel to invoke?

What needs to be changed in the bootloader to get Froyo running?...

For me it seems like a simple task to exchange the kernel without touching the bootloader (if the kernel is not checked by the bootloader before actual boot).. We have root, so exchanging the kernel is not that hard is it?...

two things could stop one from doing it:

1. Kernel is hardcoded in bootloader and read only.

2. bootlaoder might have security mechanisms to make sure the kernel is correct.

One should not need to modify the bootloader to get going..

Regards // OwL
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I can't quote chapter and verse but I'm fairly certain that there's a checksum in the kernel and possible the ROM too that the bootloader checks. Unlike with the N1 we can't remove that check with a simple adb command. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Well what ever it takes I sure wish the people working on this the very best. It would be great having the new Abode flash 10.1 which will only work with 2.2 or newer! It is just too bad SE aren't considering this point :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] rodrigofd:
It is more related to the bootloader applying security checks to the kernel loading..
