So using 9/9 + CBT I'm at 17.5 Hrs since unplugged at 49% battery life. Running stable with SetCPU configured to OnDemand 710/245 Max/Min. That is with 3G being on to play pandora for about an hour, some youtube app usage and then some xda/cyanogen forum surfing. The rest of the time everything was off (wifi, gps, 3g, etc etc while not using the phone). Over the weekend I plan to do a Battery Wipe and see if it extends my battery life any. I will say this though, I never... ever expected to keep my phone off the charge for 17+ hours... ever... battery life under stock sprint as atrocious and FreshROM only made it slightly better.

Cyanogen is amazing though!

On an unrelated note, has anyone noticed in any of the recent nightlies an email process FC when your phone first reaches the desktop after a boot? I've been getting this since 9/3 iirc. When I first installed CM6 RC1 I did not get the problem. I did a full wipe, installed 9/3 and i believe it started happening. But it may have happened when I went from 9/3 to 9/7 and its still happening on 9/9. Last two updates were incremental, not full wipes.

Thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jxr94:
Yea its as smooth as ever, i'm not sure the differences b/t this and last night but there might be something in there!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
Happy Birthday! It was my grandma's bday...

Spent most of the evening tweaking full wipe install of Vanilla 9-9, fixin' to flash 9-11.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Does anyone know if their is going to be a new gapps out ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Thank you sir, now if I can get someone to send me a new flashy phone....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
There was a reference to a new gapps in a post a ways back, figured it was a typo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would say that there may be one when RC2 is released (hopefully soon!) :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spidoman:
So I backed up messaging with titanium backup from 2.1 when upgrading to froyo. However, after loading froyo, messaging is FCing whenever I try to send a message or view any messaging thread. I've tried uninstalling mms.apk with Titanium backup. And then reloading a froyo rom. But the problem persists. Also, mms still doesn't work with the 9/10 nightly. (although it works on my other heroc.)

SMS works perfectly fine in handcent, but mms does not.

What do I need to be clearing or uninstalling?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Type these commands in to a cmd prompt in windows. Just be aware that it will delete all messages, but it should fix FCs, as you probably have a corrupt file due to the backup:

adb remount

adb shell

cd data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases

rm telephony.db

rm mmssms.db

exit

adb reboot

Let me know how it goes!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigjustinturbo:
Here, just two pages back: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8095507&postcount=3722 Try any of those solutions to see if that clears things up.

The question I'd ask is, did you flash the 09/10 nightly on top of a release that is older than 09/05 without doing a full wipe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spidoman:
I actually just used the mms fix at the very start of the thread, and it worked fine. Shame losing the message history (should have used message back up but oh well.)

Thanks for the help though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Let me know if you get this working, I much prefer the mms.apk from 2.1

Sent from my CM6 Hero
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tigerbalm76:
To get around the MMS app FC'ing, there are two options:

1) use SMS Backup & Restore to backup your text messages...then delete telephony.db and mmssms.db as shown in posts above. Restore and the stock MMS app won't FC anymore.

2) use Handcent SMS instead of the stock MMS app

Apparently some ROMS prior to CM6 stored the messages in a different database format.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
no idea wtf is going on but I'm running 9/08 and decadence #11 and it has been great and then now sooooooooo slow, can't text, can't click on apps, etc. no real clue what is going on handcent FC's launcher pro FC's etc.

I'm not sure what is causing this but it is freaking annoying.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigjustinturbo:
I was just troubleshooting this exact problem yesterday, and I think I fixed it, at least for me.

For me the culprit turned out to be a widget called Fancy Widget, which is a Sense style flip clock clone that stopped development months ago after getting a cease and desist from HTC. But while it was dragging along, I managed to remove the widget from my home screen, go into Settings / Applications / Running and Force Stop the widget. As soon as I did that, my phone almost instantly popped back up to full, snappy speed. So I uninstalled that piece of crap since clock widgets are easily replaceable.

So that's just what worked for me. Maybe take a look to see if you have any offending apps like that running.

Also, when it does start doing that, you can hook your phone up via USB to your computer, and in adb shell you can run the command top -m 5 and it will show you the top 5 programs using the CPU at that moment, and what percentage.

9/11 nightly broke my notification sounds. Doesn't even vibrate. My ringer works though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raymond4:
I am running the 9/11 nightly and I am also having the same exact problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jxr94:
+1 Might have to go back to 9/9
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ozzie1p:
Yup, no notifications on my 9/11 either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
I tried Fancy Widget last night on 9-9 Vanilla, was pointless. I use Sense Analog Clock Widget from Factory Widgets, free on the Market. Been using it since root because weather widget on sense clock is usually very wrong and that annoyed the piss outa me, but I love the Sense / Hero clock. Weather Bug gives me the most accurate weather I've found so far, if you know of better real time weather, please tell me.

Anyone else have problems w/ 9-11 build?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjprophet:
Douchebag..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] geesosa73:
that's putting it nicely...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jxr94:
Why would you even post something like this? :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
don't feed the trolls...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jme621:
same here also
[Hero CDMA Android Development] claydawg:
Notifications don't work for me on 9/11 either, so I went back to 9/10. I'm content with that for now, but I'll try 9/12 after it's built to see if the problem persists.

On another subject, is there a way to split long messages (>160 chars) with the default messaging app? If I compose a long message it keeps trying to send and eventually fails, then if I remove just enough to make it <160 chars it will send fine.

I know Handcent can do this, but I prefer using Messaging in combination with SMS Popup. SMS Popup can split long messages as well, but I can't find a way to do this in the Messaging app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I don't believe the default app does that. I'm pretty sure only third party apps do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dmytry:
i have this problem too, it worked fine on 2.1 roms, but for some reason they took out this feature in 2.2. :mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
they didn't take out the ability to send multiple sms at >160 characters. I am using the stock app and am able to send long texts fine. I have 0905 flashed over RC1, which i did on a full wipe. I also haven't had this problem with multiple nightlies when i was just flashing nightly over nightly over nightly. I didn't do anything special to get it working, and stopped using handcent a few months ago. I've seen a lot of people say it doesn't work, and for me it does. Not sure why this is..perhaps order/version of nightlies flashed, some other app installed, something else flashed. I have pretty minimal apps installed and never put on any of the other kernals/tweaks, other than a theme.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
9-12 up----hoping that the notification issue is fixed
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
9/12 vers isn't connecting...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What's not connecting, the internet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jme621:
the file to download it, returns a 500 SE

I need some nightly to go to bed lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Not Connecting for Nightlys

Yes the internet connection!

We need some mirrors!!!!:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I can't help there :D Tell Darch
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jwhistler:
That sounds kind of wrong! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
About an hour ago my phone started using battery like crazy. I've been running the 9/8 for a while with no problems. (No additional kernal, no battery tweak) Today I installed overclock widget just to see what options I had. It didn't seem to get along with my phone, so I uninstalled it. 8 hours later I could practically watch the battery drain. I plugged into usb and it didn't charge, only held steady at 1%. I reflashed 9/8 thinking that might correct whatever I did. While I was nanding/flashing it charged to 9%, which it is now holding steady at.

It seems too coincidental to happen the same day after I screwed with the overclock widget, but at the same time that was 8 hours ago, and there's no way the battery lasted this long at the rate it's going.

It's also 110 degrees.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would flash whatever ROM/nightly you're running on top of itself, no wipe. I would also wipe battery stats.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
I did that, I'll try wiping bat stats.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
OK let me know how it goes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
Didn't seem to have much of an effect. Also, in case it's indicative of anything, the battery in the notification bar is static with a Volt symbol and a red line. It's not doing any charging animation.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hungry Man:
Sorry, from the Eris forum. Anyone have the nightlies changelogs?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
There aren't any.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hungry Man:
There aren't any... anywhere ever in the whole internet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Yes, I was in \tools Thats not right, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LC_Nab:
Thanks for your hard work, flashed and using it at the moment, so far so good !!! keep up the good work .

Also I tried to flash a vanilla rotary lock screen, and it just gave me loop boot, Any one knows which one works with this rom ?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tomatosoup:
Since you are using a 2.2 rom you can't have rotary you could however download lockbot and create your own custom rotary lockscreen, it's a bit slow but if you really want the rotary lock you can use that... and yes adb is in tools

Hold up, I just assumed you had a2sd on your current build already...do you

Edit: I have to go...if you already have a2sd then follow my instructions, first it's not adb shell first, adb pull and push are their own commands, second it's /sd-ext not /system/sd-ext

If you don't already have a2sd on your current build pull /data/app instead
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
dont do adb shell. once you are in the shell, adb commands dont work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LC_Nab:
Ah ok thanks, yeah noobish of me, Ill learn xD .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
This isn't necessarily a bug report or an issue, but has anyone else been noticing this problem:

Every once in awhile, the phone will be EXTREMELY laggy once you wake it up. The lag isn't the usual lag though, it's so bad to the point where the phone becomes extremely unresponsive or locks up entirely. It gradually gets worse and worse as you unlock the screen, but eventually it starts to get better, but it quickly starts to lag again the next few times you wake it up. In my tests, it is not caused by compcache, JIT, ADW Launcher (happens with Launcher PRO too). Can anyone confirm if this happens to them too?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kenpoman:
for anyone interested...

if you rm /system/media/audio/ui/unlock.ogg

does it give you better unlock performance...

it did for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drtwrk127:
Confirmation, needed the following, though-

rm /system/media/audio/ui/Unlock.ogg

Thanks for the great find !!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VirusZer0:
Does anyone have a clue why my contacts arent using the facebook pictures they are synced with in the contacts app, but if I go into my message list in ChompSMS, they are using the facebook photos. But in the contacts app it is just the default no picture.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] OsNaYa:
I've also gotten a lot of lag on occasions. It makes it extremely frustrating to text.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
i hate going in the irc now. they never talk about froyo anymore. there talking about where they live and what kind of computer they got......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] szainmehdi:
LOL!

Really?

Wow. Thats interesting.

IRC isn't working for me, UVERSE SUCKS!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
been in there a lot the last 2 days. nothing but a great experience for me! weird.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
for anyone having the sticking led issue, you can also download LEDs Hack from the market. use this app to turn off leds and then turn on leds and bam, leds are fixed.

it will appear at first that it broke your track ball light but once you turn the screen on and off it will come back on
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrcharlesiv:
Wow. That actually made a huge difference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skitzo2000:
I tried this and so far I see no improvement, but I need to give the phone a little more time as I just rebooted. I'll post back in a few hours
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skola28:
I think you meant /system/media/audio/ui/unlock.ogg

:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjprophet:
i used that app all the time with 2.1 roms but now its not working with FroYo..do you have sprint hero checked?? or a different phone model??

edit* the l.e.d. hack app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
The nightlies are made automatically based on whatever they're doing, which they don't really note. It's possible some nights aren't even changed.

There might be a bug tracker that can give you some idea, but I'm not sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
The only "changelog" would be Darch's github commits. But there's no official changelog.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hungry Man:
Alrighty, thanks. Back to the Eris forums for me =p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hey no problem we're happy to help, even if you're on Verizon :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
No problem. I hope you didn't think I was blowing you off. I was disappointed to learn there's no change log as well, though I understand why there isn't.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
If you're going to wipe the battery stats, PLEASE calibrate your battery, or you're just shooting yourself (and your battery) in the foot.

Instructions are in this thread I believe.

Sent from my CDMA Hero, sucka!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] extermicide:
Can anyone confirm if Notifications are working again in 9/12 ??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 sorry for not mentioning that my bad. He's right, calibrating your battery is important.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
I guess I'll have to do that now. I think I might have fixed it with the reflash, or the wipe, and I might just be overestimating how painfully slow usb charges the phone since now I'm looking for a problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
USB charging does take a long time usually. The computer can't get as much voltage as an AC outlet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tigerbalm76:
Is anybody else missing Market after flashing the 9/12 nightly? Don't know where mines went.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
IDK where it ran off to, but reflashing the GAPPS should get the thing back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just reflash gapps, should come back
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tigerbalm76:
I already reflashed gapps...still missing Market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] claydawg:
Happened to me the other day with 9/6. Market and GMail were gone for me and re-flashing GAPPS didn't bring them back. Nandroiding to a backup that was working fine didn't fix it either. I ended up having to wipe, which was great bc my phone feels so much faster since.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nak131:
they work fine for me. then again, i never had a problem with them in any of the nightlies so it could be one of those phone differences, who knows.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:
Someone having this issue try to adb into your system app and see if vendor.apk and gmail are in there, if they are try removing and reflashing gapps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
They should be fixed now according to this commit:

http://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...mmit/2a1b7ec980dd1d47c92621c175d74c908cbf6977

So go enjoy u'r nightly flashing again :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jxr94:
9/13...............is up!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
Anyone else getting random reboots on 9/12? The hole system just bogs down then reboots. No luck for me sense 9/6.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Got it! Flashing now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oohoy:
duno if this is a known bug but once u used the stock camera and take a few shots without existing it out. let the phone turn it off by itself and after 10 sec or so, phone will reboot itself.

is it just me ?

ps. i sat up my screen timeout and screen turned off delay to 30sec
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scoliosis:
The issue with Camera -> Gallery -> Camera seems to be related to input buttons. It looks as if the phone has hung with the camera running since it doesn't take any input at all. However, if you bring up an ADB shell and kill the camera app, everything returns to normal. So I wonder if it has something to do with input contention...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
That's how it seemed to me earlier. First time I've used camera in a while. Camera to gallery to camera caused the buttons and touchscreen to not respond, tho video preview was fine, so it wasn't locked up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krispuniq:
Bad battery life !

with the last two nightlies.. 9/12 & 9/13, i am experiencing very bad battery drain.

Overnight, within 6 hours my battery has lost 29% (all the time being on sleep). I have used collin's battery tweak as well as setcpu ( in different times) and checked. The battery doesnt seem to hold up well or even as much as it used to .. earlier.

Kernel: Decadance's #13 (latest stable 9/11 release)

My settings in SetCPU: (interactive governor)

Screen On: min 245, max 691mHz

Screen Off: min 245, max 352mHz

Settings in Battery Tweak (not used along with setcpu): (interactive governor)

min:160 & max 633mhz (battery power)

min:480, max 691mHz (charging/usb)

I have experienced much better battery life with similar settings on earlier buils, but somehow fail to understand whats happening with these new nightlys coming ! can anyone share their experiences
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Battery tweak doesn't clash well with SetCPU, you are only supposed to run one or the other. I think it even says that on the battery tweak site, heh.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scsmith_xd:
The original author stated he was not using both programs at the same time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
So, for you(anyone). Which day version had the best battery life ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krispuniq:
i had the best battery life with 9/10 nightly. but unfortunately, i dont have a nandroid of that ! hate myself for forgetting tht one important step before flashing the new nightly :mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
D'oh, completely misread that then. Haven't had my afternoon coffee..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Can't you just flash that over what you have, yes reflashing all the mods is a pain but would that work ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Osirus71:
Stop incoming calls while tethering?

Is there a way to block or foward any incoming calls to voicemail so it won't drop my internet connection while tethering? Ive read about looking for DDTM mode in call settings but i dont seem to see anything like that in the Cyanogenmod. Maybe this for some other type of mod or even Sense. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks from a very happy Hero user from Texas.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Just did the reflashing of 9/10 lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Oh wow, just noticed the option in the Development settings that allows you to stop an app via long-pressing the back button.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
RC1 :D That's the best overal rom for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
Anyone getting lag issues from adw? I had been thinking that the roms were laggy and unstable but as soon as I installed launcherpro and removed adw, all has never been better. I've always been a fan of adw but I guess its time to roll on to the better the two. Been running 9/13.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I too use LP, as I find it smoother than ADW, and because I like the widgets :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
Thanks for the conformation.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, let me know if you need anything :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigjustinturbo:
Yeah, I've been rolling with LauncherPro for a few days and I get now what some people have said about it being snappier than ADW. I could take or leave the Plus widgets, personally, but I paid for the Plus version to get widget resizing.

The one feature that I really miss from ADW is the swipe gesture function on a home screen. You can set swipe gestures for dock icons, but that just isn't as easy for me. Nifty program though. I don't think the developer is human the way he puts out updates.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I know right? I don't have time to make a theme, but he just cranks them out! Which is why I support him :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] psvillars:
Just tried it out it doesn't work at least not on mine it just froze up and then rebooted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mbellett:
I have had the opposite experience..ADW responding much better and force closing less often. I miss the resizeable widgets and scrolling dock, but will take the better performance anyday. Running the 9/12 nightly, #11 kernel
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hey, it's just one of those per phone preference things, and they really are both great products, not trying to discourage anyone from using ADW :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jme621:
didnt work in 12 or 13 for me, went back to older one, try again tomorrow i will lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonlefever:
I'm running the 9/9 build, and sms won't send. It worked at first, now it won't send at all.
