Had similar problem with you. Wiped dalvik-cache and it was back to normal after that. Maybe it could work for you. ;)
[Desire Android Development] kielkiam:
!!! Thanks !!!!

I wiped davilk-cache and now I have about 10 Mb more space !!

Probably (or certainly :p )for my ignorance (and/or for typos), I don't understand.

I would like learn why that problem happened, so if you would explain me what you said, I would be very grateful :)

Hi,

i accidentally deleted my google account. The only way to set a new one is to go under settings - privacy - and erase all data to factory state, but the phone go into bootloop. :(:(:(

How can i solve this?

Thank you very much!
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
Restore one of the Nandroid Backups you've been regularly creating ;)
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Get a shell to your phone. Either:

Open a terminal emulator

Execute "adb shell" with usb debugging

Ssh into your device (requires drop bear to be set up)

Now enter those two commands

Copy the output to pastebin.com (or something similar)

Paste the resulting link here

Your mobile network is disconnected and your bluetooth is off. I'm willing to bet your WiFi is off, too.

You know what? I would probably get great battery life too if I turned off all of the useful features.

Hi,

Everytime i'm creating a new contact i'm tapping my google account in order to create it on the google account (which is my gmail address). Now, I can't find these phone numbers in my gmail account or anywhere else. Does anyone know where I can find 'm? Cause I don't want to lose al my numbers if my phone ever crashes with a custom rom (and I had a lot of reboots with this one ;-) )

The other thing, everyone is talking 'bout a nandroid backup but I can't find any suggestions on how-to..? I did a back up through rom manager but is that the same?

And what do I do if I just want to backup my applications (with it's savefiles!!) if I ever want to switch to another custom rom?

I'm using CM6.1 now and I am loving it very much but I just want to get the max out of it + want to make sure I can keep using it!

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] robe42:
First post, yay :D

I rooted my Desire yesterday, installed Cyanogen 6.1 and all went fine so far, I thought.

Noticed the Google apps were missing, no problem, I know how to Google...and found out/downloaded gApps, both the 1011?? and 101211-release.

Tried to install the first one, some apps were added from Google, but no Market!

The fact is when installing it jumps from 50% to 100% in a split second.

Did a wipe, installed the rom again (yeah, i like it clean with no remaining crap left behind), and tried the 101211-release...It would'nt install at all, sadly i cant remember the error-message.

Fine I thougnt, went into RomManager, downloaded the rom from there + appropiate gapps-version selected by the app itself, and installed them from there (with the option of wipe first). Now it went into an endless boot-loop.

Did a factory-reset, still that damn boot-loop.

Some maybe important info, from messing around with the phones settings (before i tried to add gApps), i needed to make a factory reset in the boot-menu, this option were a guaranteed endless boot-loop, and only way out of it seems to be using a backup (from my stock froyo).

And on another side-note, installing and using DeFrost 6.1 seems to work perfectry, the only problem is that i want to be "in that Cyanogen-line".

Bear in mind that I'm a real noob on this, learned yesterday as stated, so any info or ways of doing, please be clear. I REALLY loved the cyanogen for that short while w/o gapps I used it.

EDIT: I use stock 2.2 original radio, cant find any newer than that (the version-numbers is the samt from what is recommended and the one in stock, so i bypassed that step)

Has anyone been able to install the leaked android market apk on CM6.1.0 yet? I'm having difficulty installing it on my CM6.1.0.

Yet my wife's non-rooted Nexus1 accepted it in first install :(

Any working link for HTC Bravo for a functional new market apk shall be appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] jonmall1441:
Download and flash the latest gapps from here.

After you flash gapps clear cache and clear dalvik cache that's how it worked for me. Still no top paid section though for me...

I think you may be downloading the wrong gapps. Download from the link above and do a full wipe and wipe cache, flash rom and then flash gapps you just downloaded. Hope that works :)
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
I also had lots of trouble installing it on my Desire, but in the end I managed to flash it in Recovery, cleared the caches and also the app's data, and now it's working without any force closes, finally :)

I tried the same thing with a friend's Desire but could not make it work no matter what I tried. The 2 Desires are identical in every way! But still, only FCs on my friend's Desire. Strange, isn't it?
[Desire Android Development] robe42:
Thanks, but that 101211-relase is a total no-go for this phone...after a whole lot of lifetime spent on this problem, i manage to solve it...solution below.

Indeed it were a hell lot of ragescreams before i FINALLY got it to work.

It turns out that i had to clear Dalvik FIRST, before i did a factory reset and clear cache, and then removed Dalvik again, and a final clear cache (again).

After that i enabled the verification-thing when installing zips from CW, only with verification on it managed to install the whole gapps-package, and then booted up successfully w/o bootloop.

Regarding the latest 101211 of gapps, the signature failed even tough the md5-sum is correct. And trying to install it with verification off, well...square 1.

Ah well, to make a long story short; It works now. Thanks for replys tho, and hope my problem/solution someday will help someone :)
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
I installed the new Gapps thusly:

- Uninstalled the updates that I got from the market (Gmail, GoogleVoice, Maps and Youtube, if I remember correctly)

- Flashed the ZIP

- Formatted cache from recovery

- Still within recovery, mount /data and rm the contents of /data/dalvik-cache

- Reboot

It went without a hitch.

Well I have been trying all day to go from rc2 to stable. When I don't wipe I get stuck I splash screen and with wipe I get boot loop. Anybody have any ideas?

Sent from my HTC desire with swype...pardon the spell errors lol
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
Wipe EVERYTHING. Go into recovery and wipe: Boot, Cache, System, Data.

Flash your ROM.

I can confirm the battery drain. So far the only solution is the reboot after charging/plugging into usb at all.

Cyanogen Mod 6.1-stable

HTC Desire

Clean Install, Wiped everything

Whats causing this?
[Desire Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
So hows that work? Charge (for how long or to what level?)then unplug and reboot(or pull the battery?)
[Desire Android Development] ronaldex:
I've been having problems concerning battery drain.

After reading this post I did a test and I can confirm batter drain is gone for me when rebooting after charging / being plugged into USB
[Desire Android Development] Biffy:
Also suffering from battery problems. Will try the reboot fix.
[Desire Android Development] djind:
Could you please tell me what that picture means? What does it say about battery life? I can merely see how long your device has been turned on and your current battery level. It doesn't say anything about how long the phone can/has last with one charge. Or am I mistaken?
[Desire Android Development] Armitagej:
Charge however long you like, full is reccomended. then just simply unplug and reboot. Battery drain should be gone now. (you must do this every time you plug into usb or charge)

As a light-medium user, im down to 66% since sunday night.

Prior to this, my phone would last 24 hours on a full charge. (if even)

I cannot take credit for this find, I found it in one of the hundreds of posts I read looking for a solution. Seems to be the one that worked.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Would the people having trouble with battery life mind downloading Battery Monitor Widget or CurrentWidget from the market and monitoring their usage for a full charge? Battery drain while idle should be between 4 and 10mA... if it's higher, a wrong setting or bad app is keeping the phone awake.

24 hours on a charge, however, is actually quite impressive (unless you just leave it turned off all day), and nothing to scoff at in the smartphone world.
[Desire Android Development] Josippo:
Hi,

I have rooted my phone for first time, and CM 6.1 is my first ROM installed.

I will now go for the solutions offered here in the forum for battery drains . :-)))

Nether the less in 5 hours my battery is on 70% its not soooo bad for me, this is better for me than Stock ROM ever was... So I am not really complaning... I like the ROM very much and if battery results become even better after fixing that stuff I have read here I will definitly DONATE something on the developers homepage.

Thanks for developing such great stuff!!

Josip
[Desire Android Development] JoeSixAtPack:
That´s exactly what I´ve done. If checked my draining battery using CurrentWidget:

Using CM 6.1: ~48mAh/h

So I flashed Oxygen 1.0 without a full wipe (I only wiped the dalvic-cache) and my battery usage decreased to:

Oxy 1.0 ~5mAh

To be fair :), after upgrading to Oxygen 1.0.3 my draining battery is back again. Slowly I´m running out of ideas!
[Desire Android Development] =jon=:
Is anyone else finding that the Android email app is randomly using a large percentage of battery? Enough to flatten the phone in 4-5 hours and make the back get warm... Killing off the process via settings is enough to stop the high usage.

Emails configured to check an exchange activesync account hourly. Exchange account has remote wipe etc enabled, and sometimes comes up with security errors when checking mails.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Did you check your partial wake usage? For idle usage between 30 and 50 mA, constant partial wake usage is often the issue...
[Desire Android Development] Armitagej:
In a few days when my current charge runs out, I will do this.

24 hours on a single charge for a light-medium user is pretty crap actually. (mainly phone calls and text, not much else, in standby most of the day)

Most of my settings are default Cyanogen settings, and I don't install many apps... anyways I will try this out.
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
I was using a different phone so my Desire just sat there on standby it lasted 130+ hours like that with brief usage it seemed to be using about 3Ma in standby

So i guess i was saying that if get high drainage in standby then i guess something is running on your phone and if you leave wifi data sync BT etc on all the time then well your battery will drain faster the plethora of stuff we can run on a phone has far outstripped improvements in battery life
[Desire Android Development] rover.prince:
Well Ziggy I totally agree with u, if we look at our background running processes we might get to know the background services using our (system resources + battery).

System Info tool or many other utilities can let us look into the apps running at background. For instance I have installed Beautiful Widgets and I was not running it on system but in background it was consuming 32mb of my system resources. So looking at these processes we can conclude what's being used by system and what is causing the trouble.

See the apps for system info here.

http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=system+info
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
Of course. We all know that. I keep mine on all the time. The issue, though, is I went from 2% an hour with older builds to 5% an hours with the newer builds.

The was definitely a change in the builds at some point that made the battery drain faster.
[Desire Android Development] rover.prince:
Pardon me for asking u for this, but what I am about to say right now is just an assumption but a try can be given to this:

1- Did u ever tried to use the Rom without installing any apps (Just the Rom with usual synchronization)

2-Don't restore the data restore utility (Tatanium Backup) for some hours to restore any app.

There might be some apps to framwork conflict or some legacy app build conflicting with new changed Roms.

As I assume that sometimes, some apps response oddly to updated resources of Rom as the programmer never made the Rom for customized Roms or some old libs were used.

So if u don't install any app and u feel the same then I would assume what u r facing is to do something with devp. (I might be wrong though).

It's my assumption, but please try it on a clean Rom just once.
[Desire Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
oh wow. just installed Current widget. 248mA O_o

waited a min or two and its down to 48mA.
[Desire Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
the last hour or so. I charged it for a few min then rebooted to see if it would help.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
It looks like you very likely have a misbehaving app.

Can you check *#*#INFO#*#* => Battery History => Partial Wake Usage?
[Desire Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
here is a list of my installed apps

http://www.appbrain.com/user/Roscopcoletrain/apps-on-the-phone

Ive only had my desire for a few months. bought it used. Rooted and flashed CM the day after I got it, and Ive never had great battery life.
[Desire Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
something tells me running shouldnt be 100%
[Desire Android Development] Armitagej:
Lost 9% in less than 50 minutes eh? Doesnt seem normal...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Even though the partial wake usage looks ok (first picture), some app is definitely keeping your phone awake permanently... what do you have running in the background? Internet/communication apps like IM or VOIP?

Try running without Pingchat for an hour and see if the current goes down...
[Desire Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
will try. Only installed pingchat a few weeks ago. and battery life was bad before that.
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
Turn your WiFi off and see what happens.

I have seen it with my own eyes. WiFi is keeping the system from sleeping.
[Desire Android Development] tantto:
I completely agree, the WiFi is draining your battery especially if you have got WiFi never sleep on.
[Desire Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
guess im doomed then lol. I have to use wifi if I want to stay under my data cap. I use wifi at work and at home.

but that seems like its it. wifi off...5mA

edit...running cane down to 95% or os, but the mA is still all over the map, mostly 100+
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
I had some battery drain issues as well, i edited build.pro according to this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9713984&postcount=1713

It worked for me, dunno if you tried it before, probably worth a shot...
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
At the risk of repeating myself, keeping WiFi on all the time was never an issue for me (supplicant interval at default 15 seconds) until builds in the 190's or so. The setting I've always used is "Never when plugged in".
[Desire Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Yeah I actually switched it to 60 this morning. No change as you can see lol
[Desire Android Development] djind:
Ah I see, I understand, but that doesn't work for me. It's weird to see some have such great battery life, while others have battery life not even suitable for daily use.

That said, I have a smartphone and expect to be able to have wifi/data always on, with some browsing and calling/texting. And of course background apps like Whatsapp. Expecting it to make it through the day should be a given. But then again, maybe that is just me.
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:

I haven't changed anything to the SetCPU settings either.

Widget problems

Hi to all,

I have a some problem with the widget. For example, I've installed 3banana note, I put the widget on the screen and after few minutes I noticed an error on the widget area ( I don't remember, something like "widget not supported' ).

I removed the widget from the screen and I tried to install a new widget but I didn't find anymore the widged in the widget list.

I had to remove the whole program and reinstall it back to have the widget again.

I got same problem with other programs ( for example newsrob , the widget of this program is disappeared but the program is still installed).

Sorry for my english

Stefano
[Desire Android Development] beidl:

[Desire Android Development] DashingGentleman:
All you guys reporting battery drain, make sure you don't have any applications stopping the phone from going to sleep (open spare parts --> battery history --> partial wake usage and see if any app is being out of order) and be aware of the signal strength. I can confirm this ROM has the same battery use as any other I have tried. I get ~1%/hour drain idle at home, but at work where signal is weak, it shoots to 5%/hour.
[Desire Android Development] morpheus_1992:
hey guys,

ive read through the thread and cant seem to find it anywhere

does anybody else find that even when set to only vibrate, when receiving an sms message, the phone does not vibrate?

perhaps ive flicked a switch somewhere along the line, however when setting the phone to vibrate, it vibrates, but that is the only time :S

any ideas?
