Been running Decad3nce-Brainfuct #12 768mhz kernal since it came out. Everything has been ok until lastnight.

Phone was running real hot and i turned it off. Tried to boot it back up and it just sits on the htc screen. I tried flashing the capped kernal back and even an older version of this kernal and it still is doing the samething.

The nandroid I have is super old so I would like to try something else to try and fix this first.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
So it just sits in the bootscreen? Wipe the dalvik-cache from recovery and try to boot up, fyi it will take about 10 min to boot up if it works, so be patient. Let me know how it goes so we can work from there :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
I tried wiping the cache but didn't let it sit for 10 minutes.

I will try it now and see what happens. Btw...if the battery was low would it cause the phone to just sit on the htc screen also? Don't have a wall charger with me just a usb to pc cable.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
It shouldn't, but you might as well try to plug it in :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
Don't have a charger on me.

So it has been on the htc screen for over 10 minutes now. Any other ideas?

Hmmm... did you change anything else? Overclock to 768?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
Nope. Never ran it at over 710 mhz.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
And it randomly won't boot now? Try flashing a CFS capped kernel from recovery and let me know
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
Yup...it's weird.

Just flashed adnan@Decad3nce-Uncapped #? 691mhz and it is still stuck on the htc screen.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
That just doesn't make sense if you didn't change anything.... try reflashing the rom, no wipe, no kernel.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
I know...not sure why this all happened.

I just reflashed the rom and still sitting on the htc screen.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
How long? 5 min or so is ok, but not more
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
It has been over 5 minutes. I think I am gonna try to nandroid back to this really old one I have even though I don't think it will work.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Ok, and if it still doesn't work you'll have to wipe :( This is an odd issue since you didn't change anything.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
Did the nandroid restore and it isn't working. Damnit!

So now I have to wipe? Would all these issues have anything to do with the battery being too low or does that not matter?

If I have to wipe do I have to reroot?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
It may be... how low is it? Less then 30%?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
Don't know the actual % but I remember the battery icon was red.

I'd rather not wipe if I don't have to.

One other weird thing is even if I plug the phone into the usb port on my pc the orange battery light will not light up...like it isn't charging.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
That's odd.... I would wait until you're able to plug your phone into the wall, and then try again. If it still won't work, then wipe
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
Ya I think that is what I am gonna do.

When I wipe what does it get rid of? I don't have the stock kernal or anything on my sd card so not sure if I have to add it back so it can fully wipe correctly.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Wipe gets rid of all user data... it doesn't affect the sd card though.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
So I gotta reroot and all that stuff...booo. Ok well I guess I will see what happens. I won't be able to mess with it until late tonight so hopefully it fixes my issue.

I use this to install the 2D gallery alongside the 3d gallery (with different icons for each), then choose the 2D as my default gallery. Unfortunately each time you flash a nightly, you have to redo it. And the only way I have been able to get it to work so the icons are different:

1) Flash the .zip from recovery

2) In terminal type gallery2d

3) Using Titanium Backup delete the 3D Gallery

4) In terminal type galleryx2

Will this work for CM6.0.0? I see it's listed as an app for CM 5.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debh945:
Yep! I'm running CM6 (nightly 81) and it works like a charm. The script was written for CM5 so I think that is why you have to delete the 3D gallery. If you try to run it without deleting the 3D you get an error "3D Already Exists". Or you can just add the 2D without deleting the 3D but the icons will be identical and I like them to be different :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debh945:
OH, but I should add, you won't be able to switch to the gallery from the camera app by touching the little preview screen in the corner. You have to press Menu>Gallery from the camera app to get to the gallery. That's the only drawback I have found.

I was wondering what I could do to get the best battery life out of my phone...?

I know about the Battery Tweak, AutoKiller and SetCPU.

What one(s) should I use to optimize, and should I use a combonation of any or all of them?

What should the settings on any of them be?

I'm running Cyanogen, with default kernal. :)

Thank you in advanced.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Make sure you just don't use set cpu and the battery tweak at the same time, but as for autokiller I would always run it on agressive.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debh945:
It's in that galleryv3.zip and is just called gallery.apk. However if you just want to do steps 1-3 above and not the galleryx2 command, you obtain the same results. But, and I just thought of this, if you just install the gallery.apk to data, you might not have to redo it every time you flash a new nightly.

Back again and ready to do a little tweaking....

Mr. Impaler...

What are your recommendations for an overclocked kernel (I assume I flash it just like a ROM)?

And, using SetCPU, what settings/tweaks do you recommend?

I have tried the battery tweak, and I couldn't see where it made much of a difference as far as battery life. I do use the phone and bluetooth quite alot, so that may be why.

Regardless, I unistalled the battery tweak and I want to try the kernel/SetCPU setup to see if it does any batter.

Any luck on this issue?

I have the same problem. Running CyanogenMod-6-04Oct2010-Blackmod-Heroc. When a movie plays about 60 minutes the video will freeze and the audio will continue. If I fast forward any movie around the 60 minute mark video will keep playing but the audio restarts at the beginning. Very odd behavior. I thought it was MVideoPlayer, but Estrongs had the same behavior. Using Handbreak to convert, dvd to mp4. The video plays fine all the way through on a computer with quicktime so i doubt the encode is the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Couple questions:

MMS on the "[ROM] CyanogenMod-6 for Hero CDMA - V6.0.0 (09/18/2010)". Is this working for most? Everything seems great on this rom, but can't get mms working. Tried flashing numerous fixes with no luck. Cannot send or receive any type of media via messaging.

Also, is there a point in running Set CPU and Colin's Battery tweak at the same time? So far I have Colin's and battery seems to be draining slower, but I'd gladly give up a bit of performance for longer battery life if Set CPU will further customize power usage and what not.

Thanks for the helps.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

Nothing other than what came with the Mod.

As a test I flashed a different Rom, the NFX Sprint 2.31.651.7 STOCK Deoxed/Odex Updated:10/8/2010. Downloaded mvideo player and the same vids played just fine past that annoying 1 hour mark.

Then I flashed back to my Nand Backup and have the same problem again.

Do you have your max speed set to 768? Is JIT on?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I recently did a full wipe, data, cache, everything I could and started over running cm6 Extremely Blue and using launcher pro plus. OC at 768, JIT and compache, vit memory 34. Before I did this clean slate I was using awd launcher and my phone was smooth, since switching to launcher pro I am getting lag and the launcher pro either just restarts itself or will give me option to force close or wait. Anyone else have a issue with this? I even disabled compache and JIT to see if that was the issue, still happening :( Any input on this?

Try lowering your cpu to 710, and disabling compcache.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I did disable the compache, I am more inclined to think something is conflicting with launcher pro. I will try to lower to 710. The only thing I care for in launcher pro plus is the bottom icons being able to scroll, not sure if awd has this or not. My keyboard will disappear while trying to type text messages as well, I forgot to mention that, along with things like the market will just shut down. The launcher force close message pops up with those as well. If I chose wait it will work itself out for the most part, though sometimes a reboot is needed. :( Could my class 4 sd card be the cause? I have ordered a class 6 but havent got it yet, I do have apps on sd card, but not market so there went that thought. :confused: I just seen a update for extremely blue, gonna flash and if that dont do it I will drop to 710, that dont work then bye bye launcher pro :( I really like the scrolling icons!

theimpaler747,

Have a few questions for you:

Have you used Juicedefender or ultimate with any luck?

Does the 2g(I am assuming 1x) 3g toggle, work on the powercontrol widget that comes with cm6, or is it for gsm networks?

Can you rm the stock messaging app if your using Handcent or is Handcent a gui built around the stock messaging framework?

Also getting random message notifications in handcent with different counts-like 4 for example and I have no new text messages. I can clear them and then they randomly come back? Looked at my blacklist in hope something would match. no luck. Any ideas?

I tried the #12 bfs uncapped kernel but found it really drained my battery. Switched back to #11 uncapped and battery is noticeably better. Have you seen much difference? Cannot figure out why this would be.

I am not using setcpu(which maybe i should be) or collin's battery tweak, but i am using autokiller which i think your using as well.

I am sure I have more for you, but we will start with that...

Thanks in advanced.

Edit: I knew I had one more. Can you get to the alarm with out having to go the the clock app then alarm
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatb0x:
I am interested in the battery differences between the kernels. I just switched to #12 with colin's battery tweak and I can't say it's anything amazing.

If #11 is noticably better, then back I go. Prolly need a link to that I guess....

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I just checked and launcher is on internal memory, I was hoping it was on sd :(

Thanks

I also noticed something odd in my Handcent widget. The gray color of the widget is grainy when I first scroll to the screen it is on, after a second it goes to a solid gray color. The grainy lines run from left to right and are like a green in color, once they come together they become a solid gray???
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macanage:
beatb0x,

thanks for the suggestion on the retro clock. I am not sure where to find it? I did put the analog clock on one of my screens and one click goes to alarms, but I really do not like the look of the clock. I probably should just search the market for an alarm clock widget.

As far as the kernels go, I tested the #11 BFS with collins battery tweak and found it drained my battery much faster than without it. Seems to be a lot of posts saying the same thing. So I removed it, and battery has been really good with out anything trying to preserve the battery life. When I switched to the #12 without collins tweak, as stated above, battery took a nose dive. This seem so odd because when I was running the .6 nfx Sense roms, the collins tweak made a big difference, and this tweak is designed for cm6.

If you have a little time and want to test a few different setting in the collins tweak to see if anything changes, I really would be curious to see if anything changes.

I think you will have to run the batt-cfg line and then go into customs settings. I have not done this so I am not sure where to change some of these things.

In collins OP he did state that the scheduler is set by default to "on demand" and that people were reporting marked improvement in performance with "interactive"

However,

In Decad3nce "Decamod" battery tweak- at the bottom of the second post - his recommended settings are:

Collin_Ph BatteryTweak RC2!

Recommended Settings for Tweak:

For BFS Kernel:

CPU Governor: Ondemand

I/O Scheduler: deadline/cfq

For CFS Kernel:

CPU Governor: Interactive

I/O Scheduler: deadline/noop

May be you can try his mod and see if you get any better results.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756774

Finally, when I did have good results with collins tweak, I was running the previous version, not the rc2. If your willing to try it, i will see if I can find it or get the link.

To remove the collins tweak, use "batt-rm.sh"

Good luck and let me know how it goes
