I experienced the same issues, both with DeFrost and OD. The problem was such a pain that I had to move away from these ROMs over to the sense-based ROMs. We just switch back to OD now to see if things have improved, but your findings do not leave me much hope. This, together with my recently discovered Bluetooth problems might make me have to move away again : (
[Desire Android Development] BallBrain:
I can confirm the usage off the e-mail app. I have one exchange account set up. I set it up so it would sync every 2 hours, but the app seems to be running constantly and using a lot of CPU.

Apparently the Facebook app is not closing correctly and using a lot of CPU as well.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I'm going to go back to 3.02 because this facebook problem is just killing the battery. i'm losing power hand over fist without doing a single thing.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Check your facebook/twitter sync rates. When i first added my twitter account to my phone, my battery drained really quickly. Looking in the twitter app i found it was syncing every 15 mins. Facebook was the same.

Also with the latest facebook app, the phone is prevented from sleeping, so this will drain battery very quickly. Looking on http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=74769995908&ref=ts shows a lot of posts about it. There's even some images of the wake usage by FB app. Until its fixed, I've rolled back my FB app (as good as the new version is).

As also mentioned, check that the trackpad works still.
[Desire Android Development] Degurney:
awwww

ok thanks for the info.. although I had already changed my sync settgins yesterday morning. :(

How Do I roll back to the old facebook ?

[HOW TO] Remove Facebook App

For those of you that don't know, here is a quick tutorial on how to remove the facebook app from your phone:

This requires the Android SDK and the phone being in recovery mode.

1) In cmd or terminal, navigate to the tools folder inside the ASDK

2) Type adb shell

3) Type mount system (If you get an error, make sure your recovery is not also mounting it - amonra was for me at first)

4) Type rm -r /system/app/Facebook.apk

4a) Reboot phone

5) Download the Facebook.apk

6) Extract it to your SD card

7) Install it using Astro or similar file manager
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Thanks, is this needed for better battery life as new 1.3.0 FB app is syncing all time?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Its not that FB is syncing all the time, its that the devs at FB have put in a piece of code to prevent the phone from sleeping. This in itself isn't bad (a lot of apps will do it), but they seem to have missed the code to allow the phone to go to sleep.

In other words: this will increase your battery life hugely because your phone will go back sleep, instead of facebook keeping it awake all night :)
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Thanks again, so even if I don't use the FB app (never synced it) still prevents the system from going to sleep?
[Desire Android Development] dafunky:
3.0.3 is definitely not for me, after 4 wipes and flashings, still boot loop. Will stay with 3.0.2 until next release...
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Well if you've run the app once, it will continue to run. If you're not using it, it shouldn't effect the battery life.

To check type *#*#4636#*#* and go to battery history. Choose other usage and see what percentages you've got. Anything high means your phone isn't sleeping.
[Desire Android Development] ph0rce:
Not been following the progress of this ROM closely so I've got a couple of questions:

Is the bug fixed which prevented the Setup Wizard running on a full wipe & install?

Does this ROM have the problem with the OJ / Trackpad locking up & draining the battery?

Cheers! :)
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
I've ran the setup wizard fine on a clean install of 3.0.3. Not had the trackpad die on me yet and my battery usage isn't bad either.
[Desire Android Development] CJ900RR:
Outch. Did that and have 100% on the first bar (running).

2 h 36 min since disconnected from charger. Battery is down to 81 % and I have done almost nothing, other then checking my battery stats. According to that one email have been using 21% of the battery, and both email accounts is set to sync 1 time/hour...

...
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
What other apps do you have running in the background? My battery life isn't this bad.
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Yes it will since the phone isn't going to sleep anymore.
[Desire Android Development] ph0rce:
Do you mean that it ran automatically on first boot or you had to run it manually once booted?

Last time I tried this ROM, it didn't run it automatically & got rather upset with itself when I tried adding the google account myself. Although that was a long time ago, probably an early 2.X release.
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Yes the rom has the OJ/trackpad problem (at least 3.0.2). It died on me several times. I went back to cyanogenmod since they supposedly had fixed the problem but it's still there as well, at least in the 08032010 build.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Although its never died on me once in the 3.0.x versions of this rom
[Desire Android Development] ph0rce:
I'm currently running CyanogenMod from yesterday & I still have the problem but since this ROM is now taking quite a lot of the extra features from Cyanogen's ROM, I wondered if it was fixed here.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
It ran automatically, yeah the setup wizard used to have problems when adding an account but that's now fixed.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
I can confirm it runs automatically. At least it did for me. Had to wait a while on first boot, but it got there
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Yeah, makes you wonder what triggers the death of the trackpad. Died several times on me in both opendesire and cyanogenmod. Yet others don't seem to have a problem at all, or don't notice it since a lot of people hardly use it it seems, including me. Although I only notice because the phone isn't going to sleep and the battery drains way too much.
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Brilliant!

So is bluetooth preventing my system from going to sleep?
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Nope, your "Running %" isn't anywhere near 100% so the phone has been going to sleep. Click on "Other usage" and select "Partial wake-usage". That will show what kept the phone awake the most.

[EDIT]

I believe the bluetooth / wifi and such in the "Other usage" section says more about what used the most battery while your phone was in a running state. Usually those are the ones you should be aware of (turned them on yourself).
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
What radio and settings you are using in order to achieve best battery life?

Are you using SetCPU to achieve better battery life?
[Desire Android Development] CJ900RR:
In this case I think it was the new Facebook that caused the problems, not the ROM it self. I went back now to 3.0.2 and battery usage is back to "normal".

I had the e-mail problem previously in 3.0.2 also, after first install. Then I rebooted and it was gone. Now it seems to be OK but I will have to wait and see, currently it uses ~2% which seems normal with 1 hour sync.

I have one widget, Snowstorm weather-widget, that syncs 1 time/hour. Then I have Facebook, Google and my 2 e-mail accounts. They are set to sync also 1 time/hour. Other than that I don't have anything that is running.

3.0.2 is (for me) much better with battery. It's only sad that the screen consumes so much battery. It's between 55 and 70% of the battery drain all the time, and I have the brightness sett to 33%.
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Thank you guys!
[Desire Android Development] dipje:
It will not be OpenDesire, that's for sure. OpenDesire is built to be from source.

What you CAN do is use MoDaCo's online kitchen to replace as much as possible to the stock apps, including the lock screen. Use a launcher like ADW or LauncherPro and you have a pretty strong non-sense feeling.

You can also try doing this yourself starting with a Sense 2.09 ROM as base. Removing htc-bloat (news app / widget, friendstream app / widget, other stuff) and replacing .apk's with stock version. Some will fail, some will work: try it out for yourself.

And you can also check out what this rom (Psychos 1.1 at this moment) will develop into. Seems like your cup of tea.
[Desire Android Development] jasonlau83:
Hi,

I didn't get the "Facebook problem" with this ROM.. i checked and checked but no problem with facebook not going to sleep at all..

At the same time I would like to thanks Adam G for this ROM.. and at the same time thanks everyone for the guides provided (if not there's no way i could root and install this ROM) !!

the ROM is working great!

Thanks again!
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Just make sure you don't run the app then :)

I have to say my battery life in 3.0.3 is nice. In 3.0.2 it was over 48hrs with average usage. Will update what 3.0.3 is
[Desire Android Development] subvertbeats:
If you just want to downgrade the facebook app theres a very simple way

Just go to manage applications, find the facebook app in the list and click on it.

Next just click uninstall updates.
[Desire Android Development] wolver1ne:
Upgraded to 3.0.3, but the LED still lights up green way before charge reaches 100%. :S
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Has anyone else had problems with 3G not working all of a sudden? Usually I'm in WiFi range, so I've never noticed the problem before, but I've been having problems for the past hour - constantly "No connection available" and "Network unavailable", even though the signal strength was fine (-80 to -85 dB HSDPA)... In *#*#INFO#*#* network status was constantly "connecting".

Running 3.0.3 (since yesterday) and the latest (Official HTC Froyo) radio... anyone else having problems like this?
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I don't have an "uninstall updates" button ..

I'm just looking for mirrors for 3.01 and 3.02 ..
[Desire Android Development] mnakae:
I met the same difficulty right after upgrading to 3.0.3. It got fine after reboot, and never happens. If you did not, give it a try.

EDIT: This message is for bemymonkey.
[Desire Android Development] xlxl:
random reboot after the installation. :eek:

wiped everythink, und flashed the room 2x, but i still have random reboots:(
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Working fine again here after a reboot as well. Very strange, guess I'll have to keep WiFi off for a while to check if it's working as it should...
[Desire Android Development] holgmaster:
i applied patch 3.0.3 this morning. the Camera application, when hitting video works for around 5 seconds, then the phone reboots. that was the case with 3.0.2 as well.

anyone else experiencing the same issue?

H.
[Desire Android Development] Afck91:
I had the problem with the battery led turning green at around 96%, but this was fixed when I went back to the .04 or .08 radio instead of .20.

Anyhow, I still have really bad battery life. I unplugged 1h 54m ago and im now on 80% and I have basically done nothing expect play about 2 - 3 songs!

Display is eating the battery too :-O
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Nope sorry, just tested and it kept going until I cut it off myself. Using high settings.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Works fine here with the default settings too.
[Desire Android Development] Café King:
Did you flash the new radio?

/CK
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Same here. New facebook, same battery as before. No issues here.
[Desire Android Development] dz-015:
Thanks for this ROM. Works great on my Desire.
[Desire Android Development] mian7:
Yap, me too. For somewhat reasons the connection settings were messed up. I had to configure it manually - so it went fine.

(As a side-effect the extended-control is constantly in "force closed" and doesn't work out)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Which connection settings? Where can you configure them manually?
[Desire Android Development] holgmaster:
not flashed any radio. I would assume a different radio would impact the camera application? Which radio version are you referring to?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
You need to flash one of the Froyo-supported radios. The camera not working properly is a common symptom of using an unsupported radio on this ROM...
[Desire Android Development] mian7:
I'd to reconfigure the apn-stuff. Check it on: "Wifi & Networks/Mobile Networks/Accesspoints" (Drahtlos & Netzwerke/Mobile Netzwerke/Zugangspunkte).

Hope it works out for you as well.
[Desire Android Development] twist1234:
Anyone having mail issues, POP account, basically when I click "Load more messages" Whatever unread messages there are in the inbox disappear?! Unless Ive read them.

Please help.

HEADSET didnt work!
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
When you reinstall Facebook, make sure you look under settings and the refresh interval is set to none. I had it set this way, but since I removed Facebook from my system partition and then reinstalled it from the Market onto the data partition, my settings got reset!
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Hmmm, mine's working without problems now, and I didn't change anything at all in there... weird. The settings were already correct too :(
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Is this setting preventing Facebook app from letting the device to go to sleep mode?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
If your APN settings are missing, please post them here..

False alarm - turns out O2 Germany was having massive problems... Not a problem with the phone. :)
[Desire Android Development] Biffy:
I am blown away by this rom. Thank you so much Adam.

My apple wireless keyboard paired and connected straight away, no third-party drivers needed. Why oh why can't HTC manage this with stock.
[Desire Android Development] gkaipale:
I had the same problem, i had to reset my APN profile. Since then everything is ok.
[Desire Android Development] nstrand:
Could someone explain me, why I get less free space for applications with this ROM compared to this official based Froyo ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741663 when not using A2SD (I don't have ext-partition)?

Shouldn't it be just opposite, since Official ROM comes with Sense + lot's of stuff related to that?
[Desire Android Development] tabsina:
Since switching to 3.x.x from defrost 2.4d, I've had to turn airplane mode on and off when i leave the house to get the phone's 3G to start working.. a bit annoying, but not horrible - would love to see it fixed though
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Are you using Froyo A2SD?
[Desire Android Development] nstrand:
Yes, but I mean the memory available for applications after first boot before anything is installed.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
has anyone got any mirrors to 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 please ?

been hunting high and low for them but no luck - be easier if i do it that way, rather than mess around with the SDK and trying to remove the new facebook manually.

cheers :)
[Desire Android Development] Xene55:
Can someone tell me the benchmarking app that was used in the screenshot in the first post?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:

[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Linpack and Quadrant. Quadrant as the other devices listed.
[Desire Android Development] deaglun:
Did you do both wipes before installing open desire?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Are you just wanting to remove the updated Facebook and replace it with the old?
[Desire Android Development] xlxl:
the headset icon is missing, and the headset isnt working correct.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Just got OpenDesire back up and running on my Desire, if anybody donated for me to get a new Desire please message me and let me know and I will return your donations.

Thanks to everyone who also tweeted in the fix.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
The headset icon is there but for some reason it isn't being called when it's plugged in. I'm still yet to have a problem with the headset not working, I don't use it that often though.
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Awesome! That's great news.

I haven't had a chance to donate for the new phone yet, but I say keep the money to pay for all that bandwidth we're eating. :-) Will donate for bandwidth shortly....
[Desire Android Development] nstrand:
Around 130MB.

Yes I did.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
Yes I am. I've got the SDK installed, but I just think it'll be less hassle to re-wipe and re-install up to 3.02
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Can you not just go to the martket, click downloads, Facebook and then remove all updates?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
http://www.multiupload.com/6DE011K4AH
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
That might have been an idea if i hadn't flashed to another ROM earlier on this morning :)

I've got 3.0 but I want to get 3.01 and 3.02

Although .. if the 3.03 update includes everything in 3.01 and 3.02, could i just do the same with that ?

That is, flash 3.0 back on, then 3.03 and then go to the market and remove all updates ??
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
If you just have 3.0.0 now, download the 3.0.3 zip file, open it up and remove the Facebook.apk and flash it, you should be left with the 1.2 version of Facebook.
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Great news mate glad you fixed it!
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I'll do just that - thanks.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
I've just ran a clean install on OpenDesire to test and have 145mb free.
[Desire Android Development] woodyblade:
Don't know if anyone can help I've tried to move over from Defrost a couple of times having followed the development here but have been getting random reboots tried 2.3/2.4? 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2 and now 3.0.3 but on the odd occasion I have had a reboot, the interface would freeze and then either reboot or just stay frozen and I would have to pull the battery. By the way these reboots only seem to occur in OD I have tried various Sense based ROMs and a couple of other stock Android ROMs and don't have the same problem.

The programs that were running at the time it froze are pretty random some light apps or some heavy (on CPU usage) be it app brain, quadrant, camera or air control. I have done wipes of everything but the SD Card when flashing OD and I have the same apps as before the only two things that have changed from the other ROMS that I know of are the OD Settings under settings and the availability of all the governors in setCPU.

Though I have nasty feeling it may be the CPU Governors, I've been trying the Interactive governor because I have read that it is better for the UI interactions and setting Powersave for the screen off profile, I've also tried the Conservative governor as well to see if the reboots stop but it reboots with that as well and I'm pretty sure it rebooted in the default ondemand governor as well when I tried it in 3.0.

So I'm pretty stumped as to why it reboots, hopefully someone might have an idea why to help because I'd find it a shame if I had to stop using OD over some random reboots because otherwise I have had no other problems with it.

Also I'm using the latest radio, the one that came with the Sense Froyo at the weekend.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
What am I, invisible? :p
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
Well today my battery seems really good; 89% and it's been off charge since 8am.

Starting to think it's completely random.

So did I, wiped data / cache and installed 3.0.0 + 3.0.3.

Free space 86MB.

Quite weird..

I disabled signature verification and now it's carried on as normal.

But I've never had to do this on previous ROMs or updates...
[Desire Android Development] pierreburel:
So bad i have to create another account on another board just to download a rom... i hate spambots ! :D

Just seen this on Twitter :

(http://twitter.com/cmsrc/status/20388526966)

Does it mean we can have 720p on OpenDesire in a near future ? :3
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Interesting - is it normal that you get booted to that screen if the signature verification fails? I thought you would just get an error message and be prompted to select a different zip file...? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
The app restoration would have been the problem with the lower available disk space.

720p was already a work in process but with Adam not having a phone he was unable to test, but yes 720p is still coming :)
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
That's normal if you go through the ROM Manager GUI I think.
[Desire Android Development] jonloveslou:
I applied it through ROM Manager. It does as you described if I install it manually through Recovery.

Never mind though, all sorted now.
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
what kind of hack is in the new kernel ???? is there a chance to be applicable to the Sense Roms kernel ?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Nope, no chance, HTC will need to release their kernel source.

Thanks, new 3.04 only works with .20 radio btw. I was testing .04 for battery life and got stucked in HTC white screen.
