Hi all,

I have been having enormous problems with 6.0 and Battery life.

But through trial and error have worked them out, to a degree.

FIRSTLY

If my phone is like 0% charged and I power up from off, on charge, It shows 96%-100% charge. Naturally when you pull the power it shuts off. If I just leave it to charge when it is like this.. it gets all of 10mins worth of charge in it and that is it. It stops charging when it hits 100%.

IF however you leave it off, and charge it.. it charges perfectly. Also if you boot it up not on charge.. it will show the correct power level, most of the time. Except if you gave it some charge while booting, as per above, and then rebooted it again off charge. But if it shows the correct number and if you charge it then, it works fine.

The really interesting thing is that 5.8 and Recovery can both see the correct charge level.

As I said.. totally new behaviour only just cropped up when I installed 6.0, Never did it in the Beta. (I don't do nightly builds.. only betas )

Hello everyone, I'm having the same issue, is there a way to solve that? thank you!
[G1 Android Development] G1sanju:
I have upgraded from 5.0.8 to 6.0 stable and was having some issues..like phone takes a long time to wake up some time will not wake up and a battery pull is required....

Then I started afresh doing the fastboot erase system -w, wiping SdCard (FAT32, EXT, and SWAP)....

Now I have Apps2SD setup with 96MB swap...and the rom is so stable and fast.....

Everybody if you are facing issues, please consider Fastboot erase......

Low phone memory

May be this question already been answered before but i am not having that much patience to read all the 350+ pages...

My question is: before flashing CM6 stable i have wiped my extartion on SD card and flashed this ROM so now all my apps are in my phone memory and I am not able to install anyother apps its saying LOW PHONE MEMORY.

do i need to partioned my SD card and again need to flash ROM i hva eheard that FROO will take care this automaticall and install all your apps on external memory????

swap: 96 MB

ext2: 512 MB

FAT32: remainder?

and one more quest i have...

after moving apps to SD card say FACEBOOK and TWIDROYD their widget are gone after moving them to SD card.. any solution to this.

else ROM is awesome as always and m loving that i am able to run FROYO on my G1.

Thanks in advance for the rply...

follow me: @vermaekansh
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Yeah, even if I didn't fastboot erase, it took me three wipes (using AmonRa's recovery) and three installs (CM + GApps) to have CM6 up and running without problems, coming from 5.0.8. In short, to succeed, the phone should be as virgin as at all possible.
[G1 Android Development] highlandsun:
A bit weird. When I first installed CM6, I didn't notice any battery problems. Then a few days later I rebooted it because I was playing with Startup Manager and wanted to make sure some services were really turned off, and then I started to have fast battery drain issues. If I accidentally left the phone with 3G enabled, it would be dead if I left it overnight.

Now, I've got a Standby profile in SetCPU, and I've just left my phone for 12 hours with Data service turned off, and it's still at 100%. I think there's a lot of background services trying to call home that were using up all the power. I've also installed Droidwall and only enabled a few apps, so I think now it's all under control.
[G1 Android Development] kewlguru:
I would strongly recommend that you use the Firerat's MTD hack. You can find the links in my signature. This should give you ~85MB of space.

Moreover the default Froyo app2sd works iffy. You can get app2sd scripts by browsing through the forums

This is flying like never... the only complain that I have is that the music player make a lots of pause with the bluetooth headphone, just when i'm using it.

The password is a policy configured by your Exchange Server, your Exchange Admin will have to revise the policy to not enforce unlock. Mnay versions of android roms do not inherit policies and this may be why you've never seen it before.
[G1 Android Development] hipha:
Thanks so much for your response. At least now I know I can just switch to Airplane mode and back instead of rebooting everytime. Not sure why it is doing this though.
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
can someone suggest a good camera app for CM6 other than the stock app... my stock app doesn't seem to work well with the side camera button ...
[G1 Android Development] smtrejo:
Hey muhammadsauud, try FXCamera!!!

I have no complains about this ROM, is just what I was looking for except for one thing: when my phone's syncing K9-mail (I have "background" and "autosync" enabled on system configurations) I don't get SMS's notifications on Handcent SMS where I've enabled "pop-up notification" and "status bar notification". If I open Handcent I can see the unread messages from which I never noticed a notification. I've made some tests sending SMS's to myself while sync is active and I get no notifications.

Is there a fix for this or definitely I need to "sell" my G1?

Thanks! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
Anyother apart from fxcamera?
[G1 Android Development] sauudmir:
any alternative to the gallery apk??

coz this 3D is too slow and takes a lot of battery

Went from cm6rc3 (toatal wipe then install) upgraded after nand with out wipe or gapps no problems here yet. All and all "mo faster mo betta" lol runs smooth"er" than rc3 and power widget upgrades also. Thanks again to (cm and team) another solid release as usual

Posted from mt3g fist edition running cm6 FINAL using XDA app
[G1 Android Development] samsci:
since installing the CM 6 stable version, one thing I have noticed is I can no longer access weatherbug elite. In RC3 it was available and I could change the settings. In the stable version, trying to access it, I now receive a process.com.aws.android.elite has stopped unexpectedly error.

Other than this, the stable version is running fine. Just odd it is affecting this one app.

Yes. See this post.

[G1 Android Development] captbly:
Im a noob and I am still reading this thread so I appologize if this has been asked. A couple questions though.

I dont have a data plan so I performed JesusFreke's

"How to register the G1 without a sim or data plan"

It worked great and I got registered. I want to use Cyanogen, I noticed one of the steps though is to

2.Select Wipe, then Wipe data/factory reset

If I do this my registration is void though right? Then I am stuck because the steps from JesusFreke's post requires going back to RC29. How important is it to wipe? Since this phone is relatively a virgin(was wiped before doing JesusFreke's registration), would I be ok without a Wipe now?

The other question I have I also posted in "[Radio] Radio Image update 2.22.23.02" (sorry noobs arent allowed to post links) The statement was made that you had to.....

"[DO NOT (I REPEAT) DO NOT

Flash the Danger SPL over this radio...

Make sure you already have the Danger SPL installed FIRST and then flash this radio over it...

Noob Clarification:

Radio required for DEATH SPL (2.22.19.26I) --------> DEATH SPL ----------> This radio in this thread (2.22.23.02)"

The wiki though says that 2.22.23.02 is ok. So is DeathSPL after 2.22.23.02 ok?

thanks

Ok, the DeathSPL after 2.22.23.02 worked just fine for me. The not wiping, didnt go so well. I kept getting (process com.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped. I went ahead and wiped... then I was still able to get in to register without the network sim....and all seems well

[G1 Android Development] geekoo:
Hey guys, I'm having trouble with the market on my CM6. I am unable to even 'find' (using search obviously) apps such 'Chrome to Phone' and 'Angry Birds'. Are there any checks on the market to not show certain apps on rooted phones?

Also some apps don't download at all and the downloading bar keeps animating. Even the percentage display doesn't show up. And this for 10-20 minutes.

Also having a problem with maps. It keep saying that I am not signed in. But in my accounts, I have signed in with my gmail account.

Anyone have any idea on what is happening? I tried search for some market patch on CM6, but there is nothing like that available. I am on CM6-DS release.
[G1 Android Development] captbly:
I have had problems like this on a stock unrooted phone. I would click cancel download, then it would say install.. so I would say install and then it would download. Go figure. Also make sure your SD card is in good.
[G1 Android Development] funkeee:
I'm reposting this gallery issue because it's still not resolved and I bet there are others having this problem. When I push the keyboard out on the G1 the photos gets screwed up in a mirror image style cut in half on the diagonal. If I push the keyboard back in and out a few times, sometimes the mirror image switches to the closed state rather than open.

Any fix for this coming soon?
[G1 Android Development] geekoo:
Yup, cancelling and reinstalling has worked on occasion. But the more serious problem I am having is when some apps are just not searchable on the market. Seems some checks are messing up the market listings.
[G1 Android Development] califrag:
no idea what I did to cause my phone to do this...

G1, latest radio, customMTD recovery\partition stuff, cm6 (obv), ran the firerat script, compcache enabled, jit disabled.

is it swap\compcache fighting with each other?

so when i type free in terminal emulator i get swap 152700 .. i dont knoe where that comes from.. how can i delete the swap file ?
[G1 Android Development] G1sanju:
See my signature, I was also having problem initially, I have set it up correctly now with swap and a2sd. I have shared my method....

thanks mate i ll try that.. i ll let you knoe how it worked out for me
[G1 Android Development] m2cool2go:
I too have had a similar problem, Mine occurs when I turn the phone sideways (regardless of flipping out the keyboard) This has been an issue for me in all of the RC and now the final.

missing phone number

When I go into settings -> about phone -> status -> my phone number, It displays "unknown" does anyone else have the same problem? It prevents me from using the "touch to talk" app. Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] feloccio:
i haven't experienced any rom where the number was shown. Not even on the stock rom....
[G1 Android Development] jaydee87:
hey there, i tried doing it just like in ur instructions but i got a problem with my swap space. according to my terminam emulator, whenever i type : free

it says swap total : 24420

but when i partitonated my sd card i set 96 MB for Swap

how does it affect it that way ?
[G1 Android Development] m2cool2go:
Great, thanks - I couldn't remember if I'd ever seen it or not.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
Mine has displayed on every rom I have ever used.
[G1 Android Development] G1sanju:
You can redo the swap setup (step 8)....remember you have to say no for swapfile use....also Compcache should be off..
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
This is correct, you're seeing the amount of Compcache as you haven't disabled that yet.

Disable Compcache, enable Swap, and you should see the correct amount using Free.

(after some tweaking that is as I find enabling Swap using this Rom not an easy thing personally, it was much easier on other Roms) ;)

You can also enable both but that isn't advised.

Wow. After a little fiddling, CM6 is flying on both my MT3G and my wife's G1. This puppy is really a work of art. Kudos, Cy and team (and thanks, Firerat for the apps2sd script, -Stevo- for the bootswap script, and coolbho3000 for SetCPU).

Who says legacy hardware still ain't sweet? :D

It looks like the solarize effect. On the camera screen, there are three little grey icons. You might have to point the camera to a dark or light background to see them. One of them controls visual effects- normal-B/W-sepia-solarize-etc. Touch the icon and a scrolling pop up menu will appear.

Bluetooth Voice Dialing Not Working on CM 6.0.0

I think I have discovered a new glitch in the CM6.0.0 release.

Bluetooth voice dialing no longer works.

In the RC versions of CM Froyo, it had been fine. I would tap the button on my bluetooth dongle, and Froyo would prompt "speak now" (albeit very quietly) over the headset. It would listen, and then dial the appropriate phone number, all hands free.

Now that I have moved to the 6.0.0 version, pressing the button on my bluetooth dongle brings up a dialog on the phone, and no prompt to "speak now" is heard over the headset.

Can anybody confirm similar behavior?
[G1 Android Development] califrag:
I knew I should have mentioned that I already tried that. That was the first thing I thought of... It, unfortunately, is not the solarize effect... (the effects setting is set to 'None')
[G1 Android Development] blustosa:
Well, I had posted before

For anyone having battery issues, uncheck the always have the home screen and your problems will be solved.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Mine works fine, just used it today. It could be a difference in headset model, though.

The only thing I find annoying is, after I say "Call [name here]", it brings up a prompt on the screen saying "Call [name here]?" and I have to physically press the OK or CANCEL button. If there's a way to turn that off, that would be WONDERFUL...because it kind of defeats the purpose of HANDS FREE voice dialing :rolleyes:

This isn't necessarily a CM6 problem, though; voice dialing is a Google made app that is available for download on the market. Actually, now that I think of it, maybe I'll try updating it and see what happens. Hmm...
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
If you're talking about the setting "Keep home screen in memory" in Spare Parts, that's highly doubtful as a battery saving fix. That setting affects what is bound to the memory permanently (the home app), which would have no affect on battery life at all. If anything, NOT having it checked would adversely affect battery life as it would require the system to completely re-render the home screens more often, thus causing more CPU usage, which would use more battery.

Please explain your reasoning out some more, as I could be mistaken on what you are referring to.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i got rid of GenieWidget.apk (News and Weather) which I actually liked, but after getting rid of it, have found definite increase in battery life...thing has a mind of its own and runs to look for updates even when i'm not using the widget at all
[G1 Android Development] insanemal:
I don't have that checked.

Did you actually read my original post?

I can turn my phone on, check the battery level in Recovery and it will say 1% i get into android and it says 87%

I can restart the phone again, and it says 1%
[G1 Android Development] feloccio:
so it might be a carrier/sim problem

[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Here is a pretty good guide from the wiki that shows how to get rid of unwanted apps. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones This shows both the terminal and ADB methods. I think I saw a similar XDA guide at one point.

If you flash a lot, you may want to set up a script to run in terminal, or a batch file to run ADB commands, to do this stuff for you. I unload about eight apps, including removing Gallery3D.apk, and pushing original Gallery, and push my personal ringtones and alert tones (I use Microsoft Outlook's tone for Touchdown email notifications) through a batch file.

[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Nope, I don't block my ID.
[G1 Android Development] nrmerritt:
I remember having that problem when I first got my MT3G. My SIM card was bad and eventually I went to a retail T-Mobile store and had it replaced. Your phone number is read from the SIM card so if it shows "unknown" it clearly sounds like a SIM card problem.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
and if your battery is old, and starting to swell up, the heat generated when its charging could have fried your sim card...that happened to a friend's G1
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
on the plus side

batteries are cheap

new sim card will be posted
[G1 Android Development] highlandsun:
Yes, the G1 reads your phone number from your SIM card, but sometimes your SIM won't have been programmed with a number. That was true for my G1. You can call customer service and wait 2 hours on hold to reach someone who can send you a config SMS that will program the SIM for you. I just swapped the SIM back to my old Motorola phone, which lets you set the SIM number manually, and then swapped back.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Settings - call settings - additional settings - my phone number. Just put it in there and it will write it to the right place on the sim and you'll be good to go.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yeah, I just picked up a Seidio replacement battery for my MT3G for like $40 off Amazon. And it was a 1500mAh, which is better than the stock 1340mAh. The thing lasts forever now.

As far as the SIM card, you'll most likely just get it for free. If your carrier gives you cr*p and tries to charge, just push 'em politely; they'll give it to you (it probably costs a wopping $0.25 to make).

So, yeah, there's actually a "plus side" to it all. :D As Homer Simpson would say, "Mmmmmm....new extended battery."
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yeah, I second that guide. I got rid of Twitter and some other stuff when I first flashed CM6 with it. It's nice that the apps are there, but if you're not using them, get rid of 'em.

On that note, I think I may scrap the 3D gallery; I keep getting that stretched out picture problem when I rotate the phone. I know you can press the "zoom in" or "zoom out" buttons and it fixes it, but "eh."
[G1 Android Development] ohnoezmahfone:
Thanks for the answer, hongkongpheoy74 and _zygo_.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Use the "Autodetect" option, then adjust the minimum to 160 and the max to 576. Anything lower than 160 for the minimum will just cause issues. I've been using these settings since...wow, for a long time actually...and they've been great for performance and battery life.

P.S. - I'd also suggest turning OFF compcache, using a 64MB (or more, if you like) swap partition with 40 swappiness (see my sig for a link to enable bootswap and set swappiness easily), keeping home in memory via the Spare Parts' setting and unchecking the "system persistent" and "scrollable widget support" in ADW Launcher's settings...for starters. :D It's made my wife's G1 like a new phone (as well as my MT3G).
