adam can you please tell me why im not able to change to circle percentage battery?? I cant change the xmls?? causes bootloops or battery icon to disappear?????
[Desire Android Development] infinitytn:
Yea. I was like... hrmm no one has this problem?

I use Desire as mp3 player a lot. I dont care about sound quality but I do care about functionality. I hope AdamG can solve this issue.

well. there is bug report in OD forum

http://android.adamg.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=140

They say it is still unsolved.
[Desire Android Development] liamstears:
ok I give up with that.

Is there any way to center the battery percentage?

Selecting it in opendesire settings seems to work perfectly but its on the right hand side and I need it centered, anyone???
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Your work is very much appreciated! Thank you very much, best ROM for the Desire really!!! :)
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
i've noticed my camera lens is getting a bit marked and scratched - could be why the videos i've tried in 720p haven't come out so well. might have to try some in better light and see how we go ..
[Desire Android Development] Jgruar:
Circle mod is working fine for me..

Anyway, I really have no clue what's eating my battery. Settings/apps/etc are identical to other roms but the percentages just fly away. Just went from 85% -> 54% in 2,5 hours, the screen was on maybe 20 minutes of that time. I've checked and checked and checked all the settings and apps to the extent of my abilities to affect their power usage but nothing helps.

edit: oh, and screen brightness was on manual this time and @ maybe 15% brightness...

edit2: Hold on, one thing pops into my mind: on the sense rom's, theres an option in connectivity along the lines of "force connection to mobile network (can cause battery usage)". There's no such option in opendesire. My phone is always switching between gprs,edge,3g and hdspa. I've read this constant looking for a better signal can use a lot of power.

Is it possible to have that setting in this rom? It's the only thing I can think of.
[Desire Android Development] mart6049:
Have you had a look at your battery history?

Martin
[Desire Android Development] dd1989:
OK,

I have installed OpenDesire and have Installed the patch.

However video camera is not working, it crashes the phone every time.
[Desire Android Development] markrs:
Same problem for me, losing about 2% every 30 - 60 mins when it is meant to be doing very little, using juicedefender. Tried some other htc sense based roms and didn't have this problem.

Correction: This was with 3.04, will try it with 3.05
[Desire Android Development] Jgruar:
Yeah, all the time. On the phone's "about" menu display is always at ~80% while others stay below 10-5%.

In spare parts battery history menu "time spent without sleeping" is about 50% and "screen on" 47,5%. I have no idea what "phone on" means in this context, but its at 0,7%. Looking at other usage - total in all time.

Partial wake usage lists android system 1st, then media then dialer in very small bars each, followed by others in almost nonexistent bars.
[Desire Android Development] Jgruar:
Any thoughts?
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
I cannot change wallpappers. First time I tried it change to a grass one. After that I cannot change it to anything else. But new wallpapers is shown at the lockscreen! And only there.

Edit: can it be a LauncherPro bug?
[Desire Android Development] thebastian74:
Make a restart and it will be ok.
[Desire Android Development] markrs:
One problem I have noticed with opendesire and cyanogenmod is that sometimes downloads in the marketplace get stuck, they usually say "starting download" or "downloading" but the progress bar never moves, however after sometime (often many minutes) it will suddenly start downloading it. Used a few of the Sense based roms and not noticed the same problem (though haven't used them as long as I have the opendesire and cyanogenmod).
[Desire Android Development] bradputt:
i've just flashed to OD 3.0.5 (latest) and must say that it's much better than the previous version. So far there's one reboot when i wake the phone using the power button unlike in the previous version it just reboots every few mins.

i always set my setcpu to "on demand" and i experience reboots on this setting too. now i'm doing stress test on setcpu on different speeds and governors.

Hope someone could figure out the cause of it all,really want to go back to vanillia roms because i hate sense.
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Please someone help me to resolve my questions....I don't wanna go back to sense rom just for this issues, but need to have solutions too.....
[Desire Android Development] infernoxfx2008:
Install the latest radio, should be working then
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
I was going to report that auto brightness is a bit low, but after one day of usage, battery life is so better, that I'm going to shut up.

One thing though, OJ is still dying, as already retorted by other people
[Desire Android Development] Tesiox:
Has anybody resolved the mms uk o2 problem?
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
Pretty sure my battery suffers badly when OJ fails.

Nice to see 720p, 16 frames, average I'm getting.

Quality isn't great but I suppose that is just the quality of the lens.
[Desire Android Development] woodyblade:
Well I found the reason why my phone was rebooting, possibly the same reason as a few others.

I had the phone clocked at the full 1113mhz the kernel supports, I played a game (Air Control if you must know) since it was usually when the CPU was loaded that the freeze occurred (I was clocking via JuiceDefender so I could have a screen off profile), sure enough after 5 mins the phone rebooted, then I tried at stock speed for 30 mins no reboots at all, then remembered the previous HAVS kernels @1113mhz on Defrost where stability issues were encountered but no reboots just a laggy screen and as soon as it was downclocked to 1075mhz on Defrost no more stability issues, I'm pretty sure OD has the same type of kernel so I tested @1075mhz on here and yet again the phone was stable on the game for 30 mins, I've just tested once more @1113mhz and it froze and rebooted after about 3 mins.

As far as I remember richardtrip changed the kernel so that anything above the stock speed was a set voltage or it's termed a static voltage I think. Hopefully this might be useful for Adamg?

Also lets see if others can replicate it? If it can be replicated then it's a good confirmation.

And if your wondering why I have it clocked @ 1113mhz it mainly so I have a higher ceiling for the CPU to clock upto in case it's needed otherwise I'm happy with the stock speed.
[Desire Android Development] bradputt:
oh god, my phone is always on stock speed and it's still rebooting.
[Desire Android Development] Ajthescot:
my oj has fail twice today also .

when rebooting the device it hangs at the white htc screen like i have just instaled the rom.

that aside this is a A++ rom seriously changed my view on sence roms
[Desire Android Development] alexis_p3300:
my desire running since v2.2 on 1133mhz,not even one reboot everything working fine,is 1267 possible?
[Desire Android Development] Das IceDice:
Yes, if Adam makes changes into the kernel.

My SetPU doesn't always set OC on the boot. When I go the app then it applies the settings...
[Desire Android Development] silure130:
Is there a problem with o2 MMS? I was going to contact o2 but could it be my fault updating to this ROM.

Sorted it thanks to a member in the BUGS section
[Desire Android Development] kfasheldon:
OK 3.05 is running fine here ;

Just a few things as no change in pattern of use (moderate to heavy) nor active widgets etc since 3.0.

Battery defiantly draining faster since 3.03 official. 3.02 was perfect and longest ever I have seen. I got 6am to 9pm with a lot of use. But 3.05 today 6am until 2.30pm and I was down to 30%, had to charge for an hour (dinner at work) in order to ensure I could travel home with power later (6pm-8pm). Charge was at 55% at 6pm with only a 2 min call charge was at 34% and at 8:30 when I looked 20% - with only a quick check of XDA. So definitely an issue with some change.

Screen Auto, Defaul all sync setting FB and Twitter running, News& Weather widget and Beautiful Home Weather.

Live Weather wallpaper.

Stats:

Display 69% 1hr // Voice 12% 4min // Cell Stb 6% 4h 2% no sig //idle 4% 2hr 45m //Android 3% 5hr //Wi-Fi 3% 1h 8m (off from 7am to 8 pm) // browser 2m 33s 2%

Any ideas that might get me back to 3.02 life would be good but it does look like internal settings on Kernal change. (Oh FB updated last night so not related unless bug not fixed)

OTHER issue;

No Headphone icon on connection and on occasion ring tone / keyboard click / notification come from phone speaker when listening to h/p - odd

Look forward to new version GREAT WORK - sticking with this rom - so stable.

Thanks Adam. 720p very nice Thanks
[Desire Android Development] kfasheldon:
Oh Set CPU 245/245 Screen Off // 422/998 Interactive in use
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Yeah, that's the only real problem I have with both OD and cyanogenmod. Think both are great roms but the fact the oj keeps dying is really annoying, especially because of the effect on the battery since the phone stops sleeping. Currently I'm using CM and I have the reboot issue as well after the oj dies. If I boot into recovery first and then reboot it boots like normal. Otherwise it hangs.
[Desire Android Development] gosnis:
Try SMS Unread Count.
[Desire Android Development] markrs:
just been using 3.05 with auto brightness off and the power level is no longer going down quickly, which could be where the power drain is coming from.
[Desire Android Development] ninjazin:

Same issue here.

Never had problems with this prior to 3.06

[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Which problem would that be?
[Desire Android Development] acolwill:
I'm loving the new release, however, I've hit a brick wall with major issues regarding both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity...

WiFi works, however it dies, frequently. Only way to use WiFi at all (either connecting to an AP, or scanning for devices [WiFi explorer/Penetrate]) is to restart it.

I've had this issue before, with Froyo roms, however the cause of this was due to my AP beacon length and as I've left it at default (100) I know it's not that this time!

Bluetooth is utterly buggered for me. I can scan for devices, devices can scan for me (when enabled). I can't pair to anything, period.

I've tried two different class of devices;

Jawbone MK I

USB Bluetooth Class II adapter on a Windows Server 2008 machine running IVT BlueSoleil 6.4.249.0

Pairing requests can be heard/seen on both devices, yet nothing actually happens...

The Bluetooth screen on my Desire reports that devices are "Paired, not connected".

When you attempt to connect to a device, the pairing sequence is initiated again!

Simple reason (imho), broadcom firmware is flawed. Any chance of getting a release with a previous version? Or has there been any changes to the kernel which prevents this from happening?

Any kind of response would be appreciated as if I'm unable to get BT working tomorrow I'll have to revert to DeVillain 1.0 for driving!
[Desire Android Development] inkredi:

[Desire Android Development] phunkycow:
Had the same problem. I think a reboot fixed it. Also try killing your launcher just in case.

[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Good to know, I tried baking it directly into an OpenDesire ROM and it was a no-no but can do that with the r20 MCR ROM...weird
[Desire Android Development] blubber83:
Tried the exact same thing, then I tried flashing it right after flashing 1.3, neither works.
[Desire Android Development] hongly:
Very nice!!!

Thanks adam!! awesome awesome awesome Rom~!
[Desire Android Development] jstegeman:
Yeah, the black bar seems to cause problems unless you flash ROM, reboot, flash black bar. Flashing black bar without a reboot in between bootloops. Happens on deFrost too
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Doesn't happen in my MoDaCo ROM, though - strange!
[Desire Android Development] neitin:
Is it necessary to have custom recovery image to flash the rom

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
A2SD actually WORKS.

I created the EXT partition with Rom Manager, that's the only clean way to do it since partitioning from linux in GParted seems not perfect for our phones.

Video WORKS.
[Desire Android Development] lumich:
hi

how do i turn on a2sd in spareparts? (V1.3)

thx
[Desire Android Development] SEX-1:
Echo bug is present as in every other froyo rom on desire I have tested so far. Great and stable rom otherwise.
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
I thought that i dont need ext partition with this ROM. Cant see storage option in spareparts
[Desire Android Development] lumich:
With me the same thing
[Desire Android Development] ninja.rogue:
I also don't have save to sd option active in spareparts.

Shall I use a normal fat32 card?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
nice work!!

will the LED fix be comming today?
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
A2SD is automatic, no need to activate.

Just have a properly partitioned SD card, EXT2/EXT3 should be OK.

Then try to install a ton of applications, I installed 80 (Titanium FTW :D )

Before (A2SD not working) I ended to 23 MB of free storage.

Now I'm still at 88 MB! ;)

[Desire Android Development] memphisuklf:
Halving problems with battery drain aswell. 27% used in 7 hrs with no use. Most of it taken up by android os(41%).

Juicedefender and tasker running in background along with setcpu running at 245 when screen off. Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] fuqi:
i had battery drain as well when using juicedefender etc.

since i removed every app that is supposed to save battery it's actually better.
[Desire Android Development] scaryzid:
Hi,

I've been using OD since 2.x and now currently using 3.0.5 with .20 radio (Using JuiceDefender).

(By the way AdamG, excellent work! Here in Asia it'll take us tens of thousands of years to get our Android updated officially.)

Here are some bugs that I found in the recent built:

Battery:

When charging, if there is a call in between charging session, the battery percentage won't reflect the correct reading. E.g it will say it's 95% but it will also say it's FULL.

Battery life is unpredictable. When it's not doing anything the battery discharges "normally", that is 1% every hour. However, on 5 minutes of usage playing Bejeweled, it drops to 5-6% suddenly. It seems that when in use, the battery drops drastically and take in mind I'm on 2G with no account sync and WIFI disabled most of the time.

Camera/Video camera:

Quite a minor bug actually -- When you're using the camera or video camera, upon pressing the back button, the screen turns black with a CURSOR KEY at the top left hand corner for half a second before it returns to home screen.

Stuttering Music Player:

The music player stutters on 2 occasions which I have noticed, the first one is on locking and unlocking.

Secondly, when a notification is received it will again stutter or skip a second.

Other than the abovementioned, 3.0.5 is blazing fast and responsive. I do hope the battery life will improve (like when it was on 3.0.2) on your next release.

Good work anyway. :)
[Desire Android Development] tk1978:
this is something i have noticed, too and it is the same on cyanogenmod nightly builds.
[Desire Android Development] gosnis:
The music player stutters when the phone has to play two different sounds at once: music and notification / screen lock sound. I guess the later has higher priority.
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Same here.
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Check if the oj/trackpad died and otherwise check the battery history. Your phone isn't going to sleep if it uses that much.
[Desire Android Development] memphisuklf:
How do I check if its going to sleep.

Ah, the trackpad isn't working. What problem dies this cause?

Rebooted and trackpad working fine now.
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
If only we knew what causes it, then it would probably be fixed already :). Cyanogenmod has the same issue. OJ dies and phone stops going to sleep.

Search for the text *#*#4636#*#* in this thread to find out how to check if the phone sleeps and so on.
[Desire Android Development] chifteur:
Me too unable to use headphones correctly.
[Desire Android Development] Marreboy:
Interesting to follow the thread and read about the issues people are seeing.

I begin to wonder if SetCPU might be the app causing problems for many of you? :confused:

I have never used SetCPU myself and I have none of the issues that is reported in the thread.

My phone has never rebooted suddenly, I have great battery time (2% / 3 hours in idle with 3G data always on), connectivity to 3G/HSPDA network is better than ever and GPS locks within a few seconds from activation even indoors. :D

I am using OD 3.0.5 with latest .20 radio, 512 MB ext3 on SD and using LauncherPro as home replacement. No SetCPU, No Taskkillers...

My only issue is with 3d heavy games which do not work (Raging Thunder 2, Skies of Glory, PSX4Droid). But this is verified bug by many... Hope that Adam finds a solution for that soon.
[Desire Android Development] mlilldroid:
USB problem

Running 3.0.5 and did full wipe. Now my computer has some driver issue. The phone recognizes the computer. Tips? Start again from 3.0.0 ?
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Could be, thought of that as well. My biggest issue is the oj/trackpad death. If it was a kernel thing you'd expect everyone to have the problem. Although a lot of people don't even know they have the oj death problem since they don't check for it usually.

Since I'm using CM instead OD atm and it has the same issue and I use setcpu with both I'll try disabling it for a while and see if that helps.

Would be nice if some people that haven't had the oj issue could mention if they use setcpu or not.
[Desire Android Development] cupidstunt:
Ihave setcpu oc at 1113 and have no issues either, so I'm not convinced that's it.

Does any one else have an issue with led notifications I.e. them not working at all?
[Desire Android Development] djjef85:
+1 never had any of this issues either

I don't have oj/trackpad/battery draining issues (not using set cpu)

only thing led isn't working on sms and missed calls (but not a big deal for me)
[Desire Android Development] ourfear:
when OJ dies?

i have super battery drains... from 100% to 45% within 7 hours, and i am not heavy using my desire

maybe it's a problem with wake up / unlock phone using OJ? I set this option in OD settings
[Desire Android Development] fuqi:
no, this is not the issue, i have it set as well.
[Desire Android Development] hagen.von.tronje:
driver & headset & battery

driver problem

maybe try shutting down the computer and turning it on again. maybe this wil help. What is your operating system on your PC? If you have windows try something like ubuntu :p

Then you will also have acces to the ext partition.

Headset is working correctly here. just no notification icon, but that's no problem to me, because i can see that my headset is plugged in. ;)

For better battery performance:

1) Fully charge in switched off mode.

2) reset you battery stat (ClockworkMod Recovery)

3) turn your phone on and use all battery power till it switch off automatically

4) Fully charge in switched off mode

5) switch on again (experience any difference?)

My installation history concerning opendesire

1) sd card with 2GB ext3 and 14GB fat32 (with 3.0.0 and 3.0.5 on it)

2) started ClockworkMod

3) wiped everything and formatted ext3

4) installed 3.0.0

5) directly installed 3.0.5 afterwards

6) rebooted the phone
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
I turned off wake/unlock a while back, OJ still dies in my case so has nothing to do with the wake/unlock.
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Could indeed be something completely different instead of setcpu. Which governor are you using with setcpu?
[Desire Android Development] herrfischer:
after some days of using this rom i have to say thank you VERY much for this rom (donated some cup of coffee :) ). i tried some of the "official" 2.2 this morning but "sense" is so ugly it hurts my eyes. for example the stock music player is fully functionable and charming and when you look at the "sense" one - it's a little stinky coverflow wannabe ****. :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Jgruar:
To the people suffering battery drains, test this: install handcent sms(or some other sms program i guess) and then remove the Mms.apk(the default messaging) with adb and clear dalvik cache, then reboot.

I bought system panel and it reported "Messaging" being in foreground all the time, even when not used in a long time. I deleted it completely and handcent has replaced it without any problems. So far, so good, battery dropped from 91->80 in 12h with some browsing and installing.

e: Oh, and that was with the system panel actively monitoring the programs all the time, which uses some battery.
[Desire Android Development] zdufs:
nub question: What is OJ ?
[Desire Android Development] Afck91:
How do you check if the OJ is dead? I have tried moving icon to icon on the homescreen but it stays still, but it moves icon to icon on the app drawer?
[Desire Android Development] mlilldroid:
[FIXED] USB problem

Reboot + different USB port worked. Windows... Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] nespresso33:
A way to get fm radio ?

It is the only thing that forces me to have a Sense rom:(
[Desire Android Development] k3vinyang:
