battery life

first off i love the rom and all the new features i have the new radio/spl and used the 6.1 with the kernel option, with that being said how can i fix this battery life issue, i mean i dont even get a 15% warning most of the time. am i the only one having this issue and is there any way to fix it. any help is appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
you flashin a 2708 kernel over top of it before booting up?
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Ok, these are the steps I found on the thread you linked. I understand it all, but do I need to flash the recovery in step 3 if I already have that recovery? Also, what does, "please remember while fastboot erase works; fastboot flash does not so be careful *not* to remove the recovery" mean? Do I have to do the

fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot

part? Is this going to potentially wipe my recovery? I just want to be clear on this before I attempt it so I don't brick my phone.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] obijohn:
If you already have the same recovery you can skip that step. The quote you are afraid of means don't do a "fastboot erase recovery", since that (duh) erases the recovery and you won't be able to do a "fastboot flash recovery ..." if you do since the new spl can't reflash it. Finally, yes do those last steps. They make sure you're system is wiped (which is why you did the nandroid backup earlier, so you can restore it). Then just remember to flash the new kernel after you do the backup.
[G1 Android Development] suplex57:
is this available for the g1??? and if so where can i find it
[G1 Android Development] Hosern1:
i cant use fastboot due to hardware problems can i do this in terminal? or is there another way for me. and can i also restore a nandroid because last time i tried it told me i need to to it through usb.

thank you
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Ok, am i doing something wrong? I can get adb to see my phone when it is in recovery and running, but it will not recognize it in fastboot. When I enter

adb devices

in fastboot usb mode, it shows no device. When I enter the first fastboot command, it tells me

"-bash: ./fastboot: No such file or directory"

Am I not using fastboot correctly?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
you can flash recovery via terminal

but here is the thing.. if you don't have recovery, you can't !!

if you can boot your ROM, then you can do it via that.. but it not reliable with CM5/6

unless you use my script on CM Forums ( which should work 100% of the time )

Did your PC detected and installed the device while it was in fastboot mode? You've got to be sure on that before doing a "fastboot devices" query
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
I am using a mac (hence the ./). How do I get it to "detect and install" the device? I've never had any issues using adb but I've never used fastboot. Maybe I'm not clear on how to use fastboot.
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
Indeed, you aren't using it correctly. :-)

In fastboot mode (on the phone) you DON'T use "adb devices" but "fastboot devices". You must have the fastboot command installed on your pc/mac, not on the device.

I'm answering from the phone so I can't digress much. If you check Cyanogen's wiki or this thread (just some pages ago) someone else asked a similar question and got answered.

Hi i am using cyanogen 6.1.0 RC

[G1 Android Development] Firerat:

did you really need to ask?
[G1 Android Development] freakfido:
I am sorry.

downloading new rom and installing it ..is that it?

what abt radio,gapps?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
So, I'm definitely liking CM6.1. I've been debating on whether or not to update my radio and SPL. Specifically, my SPL. Reason being is that I know the 1.33.0013 SPL does not support fastboot flash. Not that I use it that much (or hardly at all, especially on my wife's G1), but I was just wondering if I'm making too big a deal out of that (no fastboot flash) and should just flash the dumb thing. The radio is a non-issue, I guess, given that it'd work with what I have now (minus the extra RAM, of course) and I'm already using a 2708+ enabled kernel.

So, any thoughts? I mean, if what I'm hearing is true, this is the last CM for Dreams & Magics, anyways (which I totally understand). So, I guess I'm thinking I probably won't need fastboot flash anytime soon (or again). Guess I'm looking for anything I might be missing...or just a good shove over the edge :D Thanks in advance for comments.
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Have you ever used fastboot flash....

you can always switch back. the orange nbh is there for safety and you can always flash 1.33.2005 back temporarily if you really need it.

It speed is well worth it.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yeah, I've used fastboot more than a few times, but nothing as far as I'd consider "a lot." Kind of why I asked since I haven't used it almost at all lately. Guess I'm kind of answering my own question then :D

And, like you said, I can always use the orange nbh to get back (pain, but at least it's there). I don't think I'll be using fastboot much anymore if CM is truly at its end for our phones. So...new radio and SPL, here I come.

P.S. - Thanks for the comment. That was the "push over the edge" I needed :)
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Can anyone help me get fastboot going? I am growing increasingly frustrated with it. I dl'd the fastboot-mac file (i'm on a mac) unzipped it and put the file in the tools folder of the sdk. Now, according to cyanogen's wiki, all I need to do is open terminal and

fastboot devices

and I should see my phone. Well, no go. I've tried cding to the tools folder and then

fastboot devices

but still no luck. I am including "./" in front of my commands since i'm on a mac and am definitely in FASTBOOT USB S-off mode... any advice?

Thanks in advance!

[G1 Android Development] delyorik:
I'm curious. I'm currently running my TMobile myTouch 3G with the following stats:

1.33.2005 spl

CM 6.1 RC1 DS

Baseband 62.505.20.17U_2.22.19.26I

Kernel 2.6.35.7-cyanogenmod shade@toxygene #1

What would you guys suggest I update to in order to get the most out of my phone at this point? I've bounced around the idea of updating spl/radio/kernel and all that, but I'm a little skittish about messing with a "good thing."

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Cheers,

Battery and 3g issue

Has anyone been having a battery charging issue. Mine will charge to 86% and not advance past that. and ever since I've flashed 6.1. anyone have any idea's? I've tried reflashing a couple of times and wiping the battery stats.
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Try charging it until it won't charge any more (to 86% in your case). Power it off. While still off, unplug then plug it back in. Wait til the light turns green, then leave it for a couple hours. While still plugged in, Boot into recovery, wipe battery stats then reboot. See if it fixes it.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Definitely makes a difference. I will add that after you boot up the first time, it will be sloooooooooow (this happened on both my MT3G and my wife's G1). Let it settle in after that first boot, then reboot into recovery, run a fix_permissions (even if you already did)...and reboot into glory. :D

At some point, when life permits, I'll update my tutorial post for 6.1 and include all that.

P.S. - For the first time in history, I'm actually not using swap! :eek: (Still testing that decision, though...)

[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
was there a 1st thing to do first?

like kernel

then new Radio + new SPL?

i think what i do is,

i deleted my current ROM

then i flash new radio, spl and new kernel..

then yea, cant use that coz when i flash new rom using the new radio , spl , kernel

it just booting repeatedly
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Looking forward to that. Hopefully it'll help me with my 5 hrs (max) uptime in standby problem...
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
since you have the radio/spl just do this now:

1. flash rom

2. flash 2708 kernel

3. reboot
[G1 Android Development] chrismfz:
I got the new radio, 28.25,

with the new SPL from ezterry.

The device is a Dream PVT 32B (G1).

Tried both ezterry's kernel and pershoot's.

On CM6.1 and RC.

There is a significant way too high battery drain.

I also tested it with 2 different batteries, the stock one

and an aftermarket 1600mAh.

For example, I plug it out before 6 hours and now with

GPS / Bluetooth / wifi / Data all off and with 2G network use

I got the battery at 26%.

No calls at all during this 6 hours.

It does the same with both kernels and RC and Stable.

Testing it for 4-5 days now with different combinations of ROM and kernel...

Any ideas why ? Maybe I forgot something ?

Completely stock ROM, I didn't add anything like SetCPU etc...
[G1 Android Development] drd525:
After 5 days of testing, I was not impressed enough to want to try the new radio/spl/kernel; on the contrary, I found the experience somewhat upsetting. In addition to the oft stated unreasonable battery drain issue (less than 8hr standby, 3-4hr playing music/casual texting) the system exhibited extreme instability (lost sign-in/sync with Google, FCs, broken widgets) that was not improved by rebooting or reloading affected programs. Furthermore, the system developed a habit of randomly rebooting itself, sometimes only once, sometimes looping more. These problems were especially upsetting because when they were not acting up, the system was more smooth and responsive than 6.1RC1. But, since I can't have my phone in a constant state of dying, forgetting who it belongs to, or how to run apps, I'm back to RC1. Looking forward to official support for new radio/spl/kernel and bug fixes! Keep up the good work Cyanogen team!
[G1 Android Development] domuhhnic:
i did, i was wondering if it was just me. but does anyone know how to fix this?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Judging from your signature, you've got a few problems to fix first.

1. If you really have SetCPU at 528Mhz min and 595Mhz max, there's your battery drain. Try 160Mhz min and 576Mhz or 595Mhz max. If you want to go further, set a profile for 160Mhz min and 352Mhz max at screen off.

2. Your sig says you have ADWLauncher's "home persistent" setting to ON. It should be OFF, even according to Anderweb himself. Use "Lock home in memory" from MENU, Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Performance settings instead.

3. Although Firerat's fr-a2sd script worked well in the past, I find that his "Magpie" port is FAR better at apps2ext.

4. Update the radio and SPL. Seriously. It's worth it. You can always go back by using the Orange NBH.

5. When you first boot up 6.1, radio/SPL change or not, it is slow. A reboot into recovery, fix_permissions, then a boot back in changes that. Especially after the radio/SPL change.

6. If you update the radio/SPL, don't use swap anymore. Especially if you use Firerat's "Magpie" port (he even says swap doesn't play nice with it). It's just not needed. The speed is there.

7. As for the battery drain, there can be so many multiple issues causing this. As usual with changing ROMS, bat stats can get wacked. A charge to full, power down, charge to green, sit for an hour, then boot to recovery, wipe bat stats, boot up and unplug is a always a good call. Other than that, there's making sure the END button is set to "Sleep", possible widgets updating in the background, screen brightness, GPS, bluetooth, surface dithering, etc, etc...

8. And as far as the rest of your problems - FC's, sync issues, random reboots, etc - something went very wrong when you updated. I'd backup your apps+data with Titanium Backup, boot in the bootloader and "fastboot erase system -w" and a "fastboot erase boot", then start from scratch. You can restore your apps+data from Titanium backup once you've got it configured correctly, then reboot, fix_permissions and bam. Note: I'd do all this while plugged in and charged to full.

Hopefully, that might help a bit. My update from 6.0 to 6.1 on my MT3G went near flawlessly, but my update on my wife's G1 required a bottom up install. Not the ideal situation, but w/Titanium Backup, it wasn't that painful (or longer). Then again, I flash so often, I could reset all my settings in my sleep :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Flash either EZTerry's kernel or one of Pershoot's latest from recovery. Had the same issue and that fixes it. Cy said he was going to release a small update/fix for that (most likely a kernel change, I assume) at some point.
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Same here! I am using compcache only with the new radio/spl/kernel. I'm gonna give it a week and see tho...
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
Better how? Faster? More stable?
[G1 Android Development] imotoe8:
very good...
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Mainly, it's having the actual integrated option of "sd-ext" as a default install location for apps in the settings menu. In general, though, integrated is always better than a script to "trick" the system. Not bashing on Firerat's past work at all; loved it. He even said the same thing in comparison. That's why he made "Magpie" to begin with.

Anyways, I can't say it's "bug free" yet. I haven't tested it for too long. So far, though, it runs like a top. I'm sold enough to include it in the recent update to my guide.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Tutorial Update!

To everyone who used it or linked to it, my old tutorial has been updated for CM6.1.0. I also replaced the post with a link to a PDF of instructions. The PDF also contains a clickable link to download an archive of all the files needed for my setup. It's easier for me to update and also prevents my original tutorial post from ever disappearing, for whatever reason. REALLY wouldn't want to have to write that over again :D

Anyways, the link to the PDF guide is now in my sig, too. The link to the archived files is on the first page of the PDF. And If I ever have to update it, I'll make a post that there's an update. Hope it helps as much as it has in the past!
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
But aside from the UI differences, performance and so on is all the same? If so, I won't be switching any time soon, as having to wait for a customized Magpie build is a major deal-breaker for nightly flashaholics like me :D
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Couldn't wait for the 6.1 guide so I took the plunge and again (first few tries a few days ago resulted in nothing but boot loops) updated SPL and radio according to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139, following the guide to a tee (like I always thought I did), again flashed CM 6.1 and lastly flashed ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S.zip. And wouldn't you know! Now my G1 boots fine, and (even if the jury is still out) I think my horrible battery drain is gone.

Steps:

Nandroid backup (nand+ext) - Better safe than sorry.

Fastboot flash new radio (as I already have AmonRa's recovery)

Fastboot flash new spl (hboot)

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Fastboot erase system

Fastboot erase boot

Power down and boot into recovery

Flash CM 6.1

Flash ezBiffTestKernel

Normal boot

Ran FireRat's 1.41 script opting for 1, 2, 4, 5 and 10

Followed my_former_self's old guide on ADWLauncher/CyanogenMod/SetCPU settings to optimize performance.

Now I'm a happy camper again.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Aw man, and I just finished uploading my 6.1 guide. :eek: (Sigh) Sorry! Been kinda busy lately. Glad your phone's OK, though! :D Boot loops suck.
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
Hi i would like to ask something!

1)I just download your guide, is the same with what ZilverZurfarn did?

2)with your guide we gain and 14mb memory?

3)in section the meat and potatoes in your guide first of all we wipe everything and after flashing you say to restore nandroid backup.The nandroid backup is a backup only for our apps or apps_android? If it is apps_android why we restore android after flashing new rom?

4)the file with rom CM 6.1 that you have in MFS CM6 Super pack is with 2708 port? (update-cm-6.1.0-DS-2708port_S.zip)

(Forgive my english is poor!)
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
I personally only do Nandroid backups to have a fallback if hell breaks loose.

If I manage to end up with a phone that boots and run smoothly, I just pick it up from there and install all I need from scratch. Almost all my personal data is "out there" in the cloud anyway (OK, I lose my text messages, but I can live with that) so it's in fact a good thing (IMO) to clean out all old stuff that's been gathered since last major wipe.

Never really understood the Backup-Wipe-Restore procedure, as that should put you back to square one again.
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Gonna have a go at it again based on your guide as the ROM in my sig really has issues. Frequent soft-reboots

[G1 Android Development] zamc:
Thanks for the answers!

Can you tell me about if what YOU did and what is the guide that my_former_self make is the same thing? I mean is both roms with 2708 port and we gain the 14MB in both of them?

I now have

SAPHIRE PTV 32B SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT - 1.33.0009 (SAPP 30000)

CPLD - 10

RADIO - 2.22.19.26I

MAY 8.2009,21:02:32

Are these ok to proceed with the guide and change radio,spl and ROm?

Thanks a lot and forgive my questions (stupid maybe!)
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Well, what I did is what I listed in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9804309&postcount=4938

I started off from a basic working CM 6.1 install, with DangerSPL, even if I don't think that matters much. As long as you can use fastboot you should be fine.

I haven't read my_former_self's new guide, so I can't comment on it, but I'm under the impression that it also includes the new radio/spl which gives you more RAM.
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
Thanks a lot my friend.

So is the phone faster after that? :D
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Hmmm... Yeah, I really think so. A little more responsive. But for me, the big bonus is that where I previously went from 100% -> 10% battery in 4 hours on standby, I'm now looking at 100% -> 70% battery in 9 hours with moderate use.

Must have been something fundamentally wrong with my original install.

SOS SOS

i begin with the guide (by my_former_self) and i flash radio ok but when i try to fllash hboot(spl) i get a : FAILD (remote signature verify fail>

PLEASE!
[G1 Android Development] zamc:
FALSE ALARM Guys sorry, i found the solution here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...ew-radiospl/page__st__20__p__87856#entry87856 and i am continuing ok!
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Wow. I sleep in and there's already lots of posts about my late night work :D

Looks like the questions got worked out. For the record, I've been doing these guides for quite awhile. Just the first time I've put one in PDF form (they used to be a huge post in a thread...which got annoying to update).

I may have to add "engineering SPL" to the "Prerequisites" section, it looks like. Didn't think of that (I've had one so long, I'd forgotten there were people rolling stock ones).

This is not the same as the 2708+ CM port. I prefer EZTerry's kernel, which is why I use it in my guide. You can certainly use the CM 2708+ port to get the extra RAM, rather than flash EZTerry's kernel, but technically, no, it is not exactly the same thing (slightly different kernels).

As for the Nandroid backup, wipe, then restore: that's what EZTerry recommended in his post and what I did. I imagine it is because we changed the radio and SPL, which may affect the ROM. Restoring does restore the phone to the way it was, technically. But we've changed the partition layout by flashing a new radio and SPL, so we have to lay our backup back out onto a new "surface."

Kind of like making an image of a computer, then lengthening the partition via non-OS means (Gparted Live CD, perhaps), and rebooting. You might get some weird issues and you might not. So, wiping after the partition lengthening, then imaging the machine will set it back to "the way it was", yes. Yet, it will still give you the extra space, without the worry of file corruption, etc. That's my theory, at least. Sorry for the computer analogy; I work in IT. :D

If anyone would like to waste their time and try it without wiping, go for it. Maybe it'll work. As for my guide, I'm keeping it as is (in that part, at least) to prevent as many problems as I can for people. Glad to see that it is already being used.
