I'm running the 8/2 nightly, which I installed clean (full data/cache/dalvik wipe) along with the CM6 Snap 4 kernal and in the last 45 minutes that my phone has been of the charger I've had a battery drain from 100% > 76%!

WTF?!

It's showing 44% battery use coming from Display, 23% from Cell Standby and 21% from Phone Idle.

My screen is shutting off though.

Edit: It looks like my Up Time is at 100% since unplugged, has anybody else been having this issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheDave1022:
Anyone else having issues sending SMS on the 8/3 nightly? I tried the default app and Handcent with the same results.

Some messages go through, most will fail and I have to keep resending. Messages are under 160 characters as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
So how did everyone fix the market, that other fix isn't working anymore
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
1. Install GAPPS from the first post

2. Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > Market > Force Kill then Clear Data
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
Do me a favor, search for homerun battle 3d, do you see it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
Yes... it has some Japanese characters in the title but after that it says HOMERUN BATTLE 3D -- is that the right one? com2us is the developer?
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
Nope, that means you're also not seeing protected apps, I could name more but doesn't really matter at this point. Damn I can't even remember which build it last worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timtlm:
I just wanted to point out that there are still a few apps missing from the market even after the fix. I think someone pointed it out in the closed nightly thread. Tapatalk pro and Pure Calendar Widget (not the grid one) both don't show up in the market. It could be a problem with how the developers submitted the apps to the market though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheDave1022:
I see 4 versions of Homerun Battle 3D. 2 US, 2 im guessing chinese or japanese.

the $4.99 version and the Free.

I applied the build.prop fix and restarted my phone. Im on 8/3 nightly
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
Gotcha. I didn't know what you were referring to when you said the market was still broken... Thought it might be the easy fix :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
What build prop fix? Where is the build prop we should be using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] clipcarl:
No. This is the first I've heard of anyone having battery life issues with Cyanogen.

Perhaps you could search or read the thread and see if that turns up anything similar.

Question... Can anyone tell me if the Camera and Camcorder are fully working? We just had a baby, been snapping 10,000 pictures a day, don't want to loose my cams!

What about Wifi Tether and the Droid-X keyboard?

Thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
God must be upset with me, because this didn't work. wiped everything, then pushed successfully, rebooted and still no paid apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
i believe the OP says the only thing not functioning are 4G and hdmi, if camera's were not functioning i'm pretty sure he would put that in the op. I recommend flashing then flashing your nandroid if you don't like it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
Yes, all these things work fine. Droid X keyboard is a bit tricky to get working IIRC but I didn't really try too hard.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
Do you have a link to any info on getting it working?

Thank you. Oh and thanks for the info in general.
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogic6:
I'm unsure what would cause that. Before I got it to work I tried some of the other fixes scattered about the forums.

My current setup is gapps-hdpi-FRF91-3-signed.zip with the MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi.zip applied on top of it with the updated build.prop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
what do you mean by serach? or can you suggest a place or forum perhaps where i can rede about this subject?

good eyes. thanks alot.

dont feel bad i think i did too....but now i have a solution to a problem i didnt know existed until 2 seconds ago. thanks guys :D

on a side note; i have been testing battery life for 2days and cannot update because of it and i really want to try the new eq. anyone know the quickest way i can put my battery stat screen up, w/o plugging phone in? im having some phenomenal numbers with regular use that i can share that will put the "bad battery life issues because of cyanogenmod" to rest once and for all(i HOPE; i havent been able to update FOR TWO NITES....)thanks.

[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
i finally got it, but weird it didn't work till i wiped after i pushed the files then rebooted
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
use shoot me in the market to take screen captures
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
jesus lol... very nice! i'm wondering how my battery will get if i use juicedefender. i'd say i'd probably get your awesome numbers :D

btw, i just took screenshots using shootme and emailed them to my work email and posted from work. i have new found respect for cm6, with my phone rivaling my father's work bb. i use it just as much and get equal battery life.

oh and love the newly updated sig ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] gx1400:
HA. Good luck with that.

ps. Can you PLEASE stop using Center tags, different text sizes, and get rid of the rediculous sig (reminds me of middle school myspace pages)? They are horribly annoying to look at IMO, and are really detracting from this thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
i have used it in the past but was unsure of how to get them to the forum. i guess ive been using ddms for too long....

hows it going buddy? been quiet around here....prolly all them awesome new sense froyos that dont even work as good as heros baked pastries i was running 6 WEEKS AGO...my buddy was testing out one of the new ones and he said he had to try it, which i can respect. so i asked what was good about it or better. his reply was "the flashlight app is pretty sweet". After i was done vomiting i laughed for a while. i didnt feel like informing him that the cyan powerup hes been testing for me has had a widget built in since day one that does the exact same thing w/o using its own app to waste space and take up ram,"to turn on a frickin light". I have not thought about switching roms since the nightlys started. Why not? WHY WOULD I? if anyone has ANYTHING better i would love to see this work of art. ooops. back on topic, shift you know a way to get the shootme pic from the phone to the forum? im not good with ftp stuffs, im geeked to put it up. especially with 43% remaining:D thanks.​
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
MagnusRagnarok - Need to see the screen on time with those stats when you post up the screen shots. It is in spare parts, battery history, tap the "screen on percentage" button.

Looks amazing so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
yea, it's quiet here because the same questions are coming back haha.. but yea, i tried out the new 2.2 sense rom to test 4g. freaking fast man, but i just love cm6 and came back to it after doing a few speed tests lol.

and just email the shootme snaps from your phone to yourself. they should be in the shootme folder in your sdcard folder. no need to ftp anything.

i'm curious about this too. i agree with using a smartphone *AS* as a smartphone, so please take shots of those too :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] deviouskater:
i know this is a couple days old but the other thread in Q&A was closed. is this are dedicated thread for nightly updates now . i really thought we had good responses besides the " bad battery life post" everyone was posting. doesnt seem as many people are giving updates as much here
[EVO 4G Android Development] nikkoo00:
just came from fresh froyo and have to say that cm6 no sesne.. is awsome.

It's stable and have no issues so far.

Battery life is ok, went down to 75% after 3 1/2 hours after heavy use. Running setcpu as well for 245/245 idle.

Wierdly though with new radio, i have never seen the signal status full, the most would be 1 bar missing and thats outside.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clipcarl:
LOL.

​

​

But seriously, I wish I could duplicate this. I personally cannot get anywhere near as good battery life as you. I can get maybe 18 hours total if I don't touch my phone at all... If I use my phone normally with CM6 I'm lucky if I get 10 hours. (Though I do have 2 activesync accounts going with push email and a Google account. Maybe they tear up the battery in CM6 worse than in previous ROMs?) I don't like the idea of running apps like juicedefender... Battery life should be respectable even without them and they kind of defeat the purpose of push email. I also leave bluetooth turned on which also sucks a lot of battery in CM6. Sure I could turn everything off and try to remember to turn everything on manually as needed but I shouldn't have to!

By contrast, before I fell in love with the Cyanogen ROM I ran the Nonsense 2.1 ROM and I got a full day leaving everything on and not having to hassle with anything. Cyanogen is giving me half the battery life under the same load.

I haven't tried cyanpowerup5. I'll give that a try (though I did try the snap4 kernel and that didn't seem to help much).
[EVO 4G Android Development] kris54241:
And what exactly is cyanogen powerup

So people are able to use this ROM even with the new radios? Just want to make sure before I flash the newer versions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] takeheart:
What are the newest radios / when were they released?
[EVO 4G Android Development] engagedtosmile:
The 2.2 OTA?

Radio version 2.15.00.07.28

wimax version 26023_r01
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
email to my gmail or to my xda account? sorry i know this is prolly simple:D

I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING....leave it to the smart guys to think of it....I have not even been monitoring this number i have forgotten since my hero days of 100% awake time issues....i used the phone w/o limit doing everything i do normally(i do hang up on pps when im testing) but that is basically when i leave pc,(i repair pc/mobile electronics from home) which is actually quite frequently, just not for that long apparently. I cannot recreate other users usage or I would be fibbing.

THIS IS AWESOME FOR ME...but i definately see why my numbers are so high now.../withdraws useless stats/hangs head low :(

time spent with screen on: 1h 24m 30s

(3.192022276033137%)

in other words:

screen on about 1.5hrs out of 44hrs 20m 35s with 42% remaining

i must add that i do not limit myself from ANY use of my phone, and i have unlimited everything, but i use it much more when testing, and since i cant plug in the phone while doing battery stuffs, all i do is:

browse my sites+always flash+no mobile versions

(every time i walk out of my office)

check my stats

(infinity)

text

(27)

camcorder

(4vids of son)

cam

(11pics)

calls

(16 this charge)

gtalk

(alot)

ive been drooling over the thought of battery life cycle once i integrate one of the snap4's with uv+oc(eq too:D). im sure i will have even less to complain about. SNAPMAN is AWESOME. sorry if i got anyones hopes up. i did not mean to do so. this is really awesome for me and the main reason why i dont understand how ppls batteries are dying in 5hr or less on standby, thats not logical to me unless its a hardware issue; in which case it needs to be returned or claimed on insurance, not complained about in this forum.
​
[EVO 4G Android Development] siverson612:
I have pretty much the exact same experiences with CM6. I get 16-18 hours if I don't use the phone AT ALL. Any normal use and my battery is dead before I leave work (8-10 hours). I do sync 2 gmail accounts but that's about it. Bluetooth off, wifi off, GPS off. In contrast, with the newly released HTC 2.2 rom (using since the leak) I usually get 24 hours with the 2 gmail accounts, facebook & twitter syncing PLUS bluetooth and GPS on. I have done the battery "calibration" and it's no help. I've used CM since the first build on the G1 and LOVE IT, but I need my phone to last through the day. Its really frustrating...I really want to use CM but the battery life is just too crappy. I also haven't tried the cyanpowerup but it really shouldn't be needed to get normal battery life. Could there be some difference in the hardware versions that is causing a vastly different battery drain?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Benzzo:
I can't seem to find the answer to this question in the forums: Do I have to do a full wipe to update to the newest nightly build? I'm already running the 7/27 nightly but would like to update to the newest build but I don't wanna have to reinstall everything just for some minor tweaks
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
I've been getting oddly badass battery life from the latest nightly, fwiw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
actually you will be getting more than a minor tweak. it is the largest add'on since nite one, adding the eq/whatever else was added then....

reboot recovery

wipe cache

wipe dalvic

fix uid

flash newest version

lose nothing(may have to re-apply a few widgets)
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheDave1022:
Same here. 8/2 update seemed better
[EVO 4G Android Development] Benzzo:
Thanks dude!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fchipm:
Hmm I've only used RC1 - no nightlies at all. Over the weekend I couldn't get my battery to die. Granted, I didn't use my phone one bit but in standby I got well over 48 hours with about 10 percent left before I finally charged it.

I don't claim to be an expert, but are you underclocking when the screen is off? I have a feeling that really helps my battery life.

Newb question, do I have to wipe, etc to flash from RC1 to a new nightly build?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
not to sound uninformed, but when you said "badass" was that as in:

a."hi jane. check out my BADASS 67 chevelle."

or

b."hi sue. im having another fu@#!ng BADASS day @ work......"

Just curious...

[EVO 4G Android Development] e-motion:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Skeptron:
SOmeone answer this pls, Thanks! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
well, if you have access to your gmail account from where your posting on xda, email it there =P

and, yea, screen on time is important in trying to figure out with regular usage, how the battery holds up. standby time on this phone is ridiculously awesome, there's just no question about it, at least on my end. i had ~26 hours with ~2.5 hours of screen on time with the 8/2 nightly.

to be honest with you, 1.5 hours screen on with 44 hours since unplugged and 42% still left is still very impressive.

i just wipe cache and dalvik-cache and flash (i use amon-ra recovery). if you're using clockwork, then i suggest just wiping cache, not data.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheDave1022:
I dont know if my battery charge light should be turning green once my battery info says it's at 90%, but pretty sure it used to only do that at 100% on stock rom. Can anyone confirm this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
that's normal. it goes green when the battery hits 90% and above.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Normal. 10char.
[EVO 4G Android Development] siverson612:
No I'm not underclocking....everything is stock. I guess I don't really feel like I should have to in order to get a days worth of use out of the battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] watzone69:
Some say no.

Some say yes.

The people who say "no" often report back with problems that get solved after they wipe. Some have no problems at all.

I wipe before every flash and restore my apps and app data. I have had no problems. I have tried NOT wiping between flashes and have encountered one problem or another every time.

Confused? Just wipe.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Stop trolling!

(faster than I can!)
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
this is an aosp native characteristic, that has been stated/asked/inquired about 37 times within this thread. it turns green @ 90%. stops charging @ 100 even if still plugged in. then depending on when you unplug you could be anywhere from 90-100 which im sure compensates for MANY of the battery life complaints since you are probably not the only one who did not see this info. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
when i was running cm6 stock, i still got 15-18 hours with moderate usage (1.5-2 hours of screen on time). that's more than enough for me and my day. the stock kernel scales the cpu quite nicely by itself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheDave1022:
I just had to do this again cause i Wiped.

I used ES File Manager with root access.

- Went to system and renamed build.prop to build.prop.old

- I copied over build.txt to system. Renamed build.txt to build.prop.

- Rebooted

After reboot I searched for Homerun battle 3d and it shows 4 apps (2 free, 2 paid).

I searched for fandango and that came up as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] siverson612:
I'm well aware that the green led comes on at 90% but it does not compensate for 10-12 hours of difference I'm seeing between between CM6 and the stock rom (with more syncs and GPS/bluetooth on). There is definitely something that is draining the battery on CM6 compared to every other rom I have tried on the EVO (I've used just about all of them). Every other rom, no matter what battery saving tweaks it may or may not have, gives me plenty of battery to get through the day. As soon as I wipe and flash CM6 my battery life is about cut in half. It may be something that is specific to certain hardware versions so everyone doesn't see it, but it is most definitely real.

Sounds like some people have seen some improvement with last nights build. I'll give it a try and see if I get any significant improvement.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
are you wiping your battery stats when you flash new roms? and then testing the battery for a few days? it takes a few cycles for the battery to improve.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ipractice:
Im having a lot of issues with my messaging. I use handcent, and I can't send any picture texts at all. Also the notifications are very delayed. I can respond to a text through the quick popup window and then afterwards the notification comes in.... anyone know the fix? Been like this since I flashed RC1 a week ago. Im now on nightly 802.

Btw, 802 is for the most part stable but I've had three resets so far. Never had any on rc1 but I also installed the 4.1cc kernel which I though was supose to be stable but who knows.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
No, I meant that I'm getting honestly good life out of the latest nightly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] siverson612:
Yes, I've done the "calibration" and used the rom for a week with zero improvement.
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
I'm getting GREAT battery life with baked snack 1.0................................................................................................................lol trolling is fun. But anyways, it's good to hear you guys aren't compaining about the battery for once. For the last three days I've had cm6, with nightlies 7/30-8/1, I had been getting probably 9-10 hours with moderate-heavy usage at times. While I can't recall specifics of screen time on and other crap as that was mostly anecdotal, it was cool to stream some justin.tv for my baby cousin while we were at a resteraunt without having to worry about my phone dieing soon :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
hmm.. that's really odd. i did it too for about a week, not to mention i flash the nightly builds every night, and i consistently get 16-20 hours depending on usage. how many things are you syncing? maybe there's a rogue widget that's updating far too much? check spare parts to see which app is taking up your cpu usage or install system monitor to see what your cpu usage is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
Wow, I have never gotten 16-20 hours on any rom other than stock 1.47 with netarchy's underclock kernel. But then again, I've never did any battery calibration or the little charge trick thing. Takes to damn long.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
right on. thanks for the clarification:D ... i had to know. im taking a poll :D i was wondering if you were being sarcastic,complaining, or complimenting. these things are important around these parts...
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
seriously? i use setcpu for profiles and the snap kernel for aggressive undervolting. that's pretty much it really. the calibration and charge trick are supposed to be done either when flashing too many roms or once every few months.

oh and i overclock to 1152mhz too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
shift - mind sharing your setcpu profiles? I think I may jump on it again...maybe...
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
Yea, well with setcpu I usually just keep it at 1152. Maybe this is why my battery life is just "ok" lol. It doesn't really matter to me though; as long as I get through the day without it dying then there's really no reason for me to expect 16-24 hours of battery life when I'm just going to plug it in before I go to sleep or I'm on my computer anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oddlou:
Has anyone had success using barcode scanner on cm6? I don't use it often, but it'd be cool to have it work. I hadn't tried on any of the nightlies until today and it locks up my camera.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
Working here
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
it happened to me and some other people also....i just fixed it last night, here is how:

(caution, you will lose your sms threads, but it will fix the problem)

1. go into titanium backup

2. edit filter for "dialer"

3. find [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2

4. Click and Wipe data

5. edit filter for "messaging"

4. find [SMS/MMS PREFS] Messaging 2.2

5. Click and Wipe data

6. reboot phone

like i said, your current sms threads will be gone (maybe use an sms backup program and then restore. but i dont know if it will also restore the problem, since i dont know where the root of the problem is?)

but it will be fixed

those steps should be stickied in post 1
