[EVO 4G Android Development] jorgeszabo:
I agree. Battery life is very good on RC2. The reports of bad battery life I have seen in this thread seem to be related to some sort of setting or state that cause android system to hold on to a partial wake lock and preventing the phone from going into sleep mode, thus draining battery.

As suggested by someone I tried to disable lockscreen gestures and that seemed to help, but this morning Android System got a hold of the wake lock and wouldn't release it. I rebooted and so far no crazy behavior. I wonder what could be causing that wake lock?
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
i'm using gestures on my evo & still have good battery life.. i'm just not sure that is the problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenags:
Ok, so after half a day of running RC2 on my Evo 004.. Everything seems to be running 100%. I don't see any screen tearing, my cameras both function perfect, everything is smooth. I do think that the battery life isn't as good as RC1, but it isn't horrible by any means. It could also be that I was running Myn's for a few days in between and Myn's had amazing battery life and I might have got used to that.

This is all on a hardware version 004 Evo. Stock RC2 kernel. No SetCPU and no task killer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorgeszabo:
Interesting. When you look at the spare parts app do you notice any abnormal results under running or partial wake lock?

Is there any way of knowing by looking at the logcat what is causing it? I'm just thinking of ways to get this info to the devs so they can correct it for the next release.

i dont see anything out of the norm.. if u want i can post a screenshot

I tried modifying the text scaling with apktool but I can't get it to install after. For some reason I can install the fresh APK, but if I decompile and the compile it with apktool it fails. Even if I change nothing. Not sure why.

I am not able to switch from 3g to 1x on Sprint. I am currently running cyanigenmod 6.1 rc1 but I see the gadget but when I click it nothing happen. Anyway t do this or should I just put the phone in force roaming mode on Verizon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
seen ya say that a few times, but let me ask.. what do u expect to gain from editing the apk? font sizes? just curious b/c the apk didnt change, something with cm6.1 changed. just tryin to get on the same page as to what your train of thought was. thx for trying, it'd be neat if you could fix it

Update

It's been about a couple of hours since I flashed RC2 after a full wipe, and so far it's been pretty good. Lost 3% in about 2 hours with about ~ 10 mins of usage (mostly tweaking settings). Don't have gestures enabled but will plug them in once I calibrate the battery.

Haven't checked the gps yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorgeszabo:
Not necessary, I believe you :-) In my case I had the "running" stat close to 100% and the blue bar for android system under partial wakelock was nearly full. I will keep looking to see if I can narrow the list of suspects.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamsterzak:
I've been having these issues as well..try seeing if turning ur background data off in accounts and sync does n e thing..I'm just curious if that will change it and I'm on a crappy sense rom atm
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
When you both saw the high use of Android System were you both on WiFi? The reason I ask is because I notice I have the WiFi disconnect issue even when having the WiFi sleep policy set to never. I looked at a logcat and saw that I had lots of WiFi disconnects. I then took a battery info dump and saw that the PowerManagerService had wakelocks for 10 hours total out of 16.

I wiped battery stats and disabled WiFi and I'm not seeing the wake lock by Android System ATM. It's been up for little over 1 hour and PowerManagerService has only kept a wakelock for 4 minutes.

I will continue my tests but something tells me that the wakelock has something to do with the WiFi disconnects.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
i was on 3g actually, but if you can upload your logcat to pastebin and share it here, maybe we can take a look at it too and see what's what.

[EVO 4G Android Development] forumsid987:
I have been having this exact same issue, does anyone know if this issue exists on non-cyanogen ROM's?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
awesome, ok, i know him... as long as cyanogen knows about it now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
There are a couple different types of sizes that can be defined. From the android documentation:

I'm wondering if since this keyboard was intended for a different device, if somehow it is now registering the dpi differently or if this is based on the sp and the "preferred font size" has changed or some reference is not there. So I was trying to override what was present with my own values to see if I could get it to display acceptably on the EVO.

Alternatively, if anyone remembers the last nightly that it worked and the first that it didn't, that would be a good place for me to look for a potential fix on the CyanogenMod side of things. I can diff the build between the two versions and look for any potential issues and possibly address this for the supersonic build.

I already have the source, I just need a build so that I have a date I can reference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
holy cow thats a good question... i posted like a day or 2 at most when it started happening.. let me try & find that post

just did the latest update on the CM 6.1.0 thru clockwork but cant get to sync my contacts from google.any help:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] fmedina2:
I am having the same problem I had with RC1 that nobody could help me out with. Once in a while my FPS will cap at anywhere from 36-39 and will stay like that until a reboot. Is there a solution for this yet or not? Running RC2 stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GHOST99K:
so no luck on syncing contacts and gmail from google?

how would i now go back to clockworks recovery to flash back to my old RC1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:
So far really liking RC2. Not much to complain about, actually nothing to complain about lol

Phone 8h 22m since last unplugged and Battery is at 40%

Cell Standy 29% (8h 22m)

Phone idle 25% (7h 19m)

Android System 19%

Wifi 16% (Time on 4h 38m)

Display 6% (Time on 1h 3m)

Mediaserver 4%

I stream ESPN radio all day while at work, so thats what most of my phone usage consists of during the day with the ocasional web page/facebook newsfeed check.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fmedina2:
I am not sure why you quoted my post unless it was by mistake. I have no problem syncing gmail and contacts. My FPS just keep getting capped at 37 fps. Anyone have a solution?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctmay4:
wifi running 100%

I was running RC1 since it was released and it was awesome. 2 days ago I updated to RC2 and I have been having battery issues. The one thing that stands out is spare parts reports 100 percent "wifi running". I have wifi turned on but have barely even been connected all day. Had anyone else seen this? I have never installed a custom kernel, so that can't be it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GHOST99K:
sorry im just having problem with the server setting connection.couldnt get into my google account on the second page of the setting account.

any help?:(

nevermind flashed back to RC1
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dougie2187:
Did you try a full wipe and flash?
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
It's still ON though. If you have it set so that it will run even if the phone is in sleep mode, then it will be 100%. You can have it to not run when your phone is sleeping. Settings -> wireless and networks -> wifi settings -> menu -> advanced -> wi-fi sleep policy
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
i can confirm GPS issues on my device as well. using Waze navigation its not really able to track me like it always has. before i mention it again, i'm going to do a full wipe sometime tonite, maybe when the new nightly comes out & i'll test it again tomorrow.

flashed a couple times over the break while using clockworkmod recovery, which is the only thing i've done differently from the past. i'm back to amon_ra as i should have stayed & will report back my findings.

also, to anyone using the expanded lock screen controls for messaging & phone, is the messaging unlock working? on both mine & the girlfriends evo's it just slides & doesn't unlock. something else i'll test later & get back to you all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Or you could use a program like Super Power to control it so that if you are not connected to a WiFi hotspot, it will turn off your WiFi and poll in set intervals to see when you are in range of a preset connection. I never turn off WiFi personally, but am always connected when necessary.
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
Oooooooh, now that sounds like a good idea. How long is your interval set for?
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
Did you install the google apps afterwards? I did the same thing- I didn't wipe data or cache so I thought google apps would stay, but when I rebooted after the upgrade, I didn't have gmail/calendar/contacts/etc. I flashed the google apps zip, rebooted, and everything was back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] posguy99:
Not just CM, the Samsung phones show the same problem. It's probably some patch that they both imported from Froyo.

Over in the Samsung Fora, you'll find someone who's taken it apart and fixed it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] posguy99:
And I've sent it already. Maybe if someone else put together a logcat that also showed the errors:

I//system/bin/wpa_supplicant( 7544): ioctl[SIOCSIWPRIV]: No such device

and included a dmesg, there'd be enough information to figure out what's going on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
good information. wanna be niceguy99 & post a link? hehe
[EVO 4G Android Development] fmedina2:
I did a full wipe and flashed RC2 but still have the same problem where the FPS randomly caps at about 37 until a reboot. This also happened with RC1. With RC1 I had toast's kernel but am now running the stock kernel so I know its not kernel related but Cyanogen related.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
I'm also having GPS issues. I set up navigation and the gps would disconnect every few minutes and takes forever to connect again. Also, the map freezes and doesn't get updated to the route once gps is connected. I tried the gps status app to reset and download, but that did nothing. I need to use gps tomorrow so I had to test it out and it didn't work, so now I'm on a sense rom. It is so slow. Need cm back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctmay4:
That was the issue. I guess I just never noticed on RC1 since my battery life was so good. RC2 seems to be draining my battery faster. I will keep the changed sleep policy and see if it helps. If not, I might just go back to my RC1 nandroid.

Thanks a ton!

I did the full wipe and installed build 177 and still experienced the GPS issues. Also, the Swype beta won't install anymore.

On a side note, does anyone know why ROM Manager periodically stops seeing current nightlies?
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
I think I found the problem with the GPS.

If you take a look at this commit a couple of lines were added to the GPS.conf. I removed those lines and GPS is all well. Maybe some formatting problems with added lines.

So this thread and this post over in the Desire forum is interesting. Any intrepid souls feel like digging into the file in this link or interfacing with the Desire boys to compare notes? Might be something worthwhile to help us out on this end...

If this new chip in the 0004 hardware (like mine) is in fact a Samsung s5k3h1gx, does anyone know of some code or coding help that could be sent Cyanogen's way? If you are a coder and could help with this, please let us know.

A simple google of the Samsung s5k3h1gx returns this interesting PDF.

Also, cyanogen tweeted today with drmacinyasha that he thinks he can hack this in...boy oh BOY would that be sweet.

Like many, I know the lack of 4g and HDMI are bummers but the lack of camera functionality really hurts my ability to use CM day to day. Hoping others rise to this occasion.

Also Steve, we love you for the work you do in/for this community.

Im having this same problem. is it suppose to be higher? lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
While I dare not breath blackdroids name on this thread, I will agree that it fixed all ails on rc2. Running the Zen .9 cfs and have 5 lockscreen gestures on, gps working perfectly, and battery life around 26 on average days. I had the android system drain and gps issued on stock kernel, gone following flashing zen.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xdp:
Very happy with CM 6.1 RC2. Surprising number of nice new features and changes given how happy I already was with 6.0. In particular I'm really liking:

- Disabling of the charging light so I can see notification LED blinks while charging. I thought this was tied directly into the hardware and wouldn't be overcome. Pleasant surprise.

- An included black status bar theme.

- The pulldown power control widget, but in particular the button to turn the screen off. This is something Tasker couldn't accomplish, so it's great to see it here.

- Smooth screen previews in LauncherPro. This was always choppy before, and I just assumed it was LP's problem. Mostly smooth now.

- Ability to have capacitive buttons always lit when screen is on like in stock ROM by editing Buttons levels in Automatic backlight settings.

- Grouping of multiple widgets from same app into one heading in widgets menu (maybe this is from stock 2.2.1).

Lots of good new stuff. And the ROM is continually impressively smooth. Scrolling, transitions are all like butter. Has definitely earned my respect and a donation. Good job CM team!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac7:
does zen ever have any booting issues? i tried this rom with snaps kernal and it worked awesome most of the time, but every once in a while it wouldnt boot after a restart and i would need to reflash. right now im running toast's test kernel and it seems to be working well, much better than the cm6.1.

i have NOT removed the lines David mentions removing in gps.conf, but i did uncheck USE WIFI FOR GPS LOCATION in settings & its reacting much better. drove a block down the road & it didnt fail. sitting here with GPS on to see how long it holds my location. been working for a bit now, whereas earlier it would bring up the circle to show approximate locations..

if this doesn't work i may edit the gps.conf & try a different port i found 7275 instead of 7276

i personally dont believe wifi to be a good locator anyway, i'd prefer to have it disabled.

in other words if you are having GPS issues, try this first. go into settings & disable wifi locations for GPS

All I have to say is: WOW! RC2 has come such a long way since my days back in the very first nightlies! I am geting AMAZING battery life on RC2 with it's default kernel and everything just runs so smooth. Awesome work, Cyn!

I have a question though... Is there an app that resembles the Facebook for Sense sync utility, that would sync my facebook contacts with my Google contacts and Calendar? For instance, when I used to look at my Calendar widget from Launcher Pro, it would show me my google AND facebook events such as birthdates. Not anymore. It only shows now, google calendar events.

If I can get that Facebook for Sense type of integration, that would be awesome.

Thanks for any info.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
fb does sync contacts, but not at the level sense does. as for syncing fb events, i have them synced to my google account and it just displays them through that. i doubt that that's helpful, but i don't know any other app that'd let me do that.
