+1 to this. I flashed 1.7 Friday night, left the phone plugged in to usb overnight. Saturday I had crazy drain. Like 35mins. of talk time w/ 3G disabled ate up about 35% of the battery. I figured I'd recondition the battery, so I completely drained it Saturday night, like to the point where the phone shut itself off, and then I restarted it, and it lasted only a minute before shutting off again. At that point I plugged it in to AC and left it there for a solid 8hrs. Sunday I had crazy drain, no talk time at all, bit of texting and light browsing. Over 12hrs ~ 35% of the full battery was drained just by phone idle and cell standby. I've been checking it repeatedly, and I'm consistently getting (cell standby + phone idle) = 50% of the drain. Last night I shut off everything, wifi, APN, and I lost 20% of the battery within the 4 hrs I slept.

I don't want this to sound like I'm *****ing, because I absolutely love the way this ROM looks, and I know you guys put a ton of work into this, but somehow I was getting way awesomer battery life when I had 1.3.

FWIW - I have no live wallpapers, no games, only a couple widgets but none of which are auto-updating anything, I have a flat black background, Zeam launcher, underclocked to 800MHz, and I've only been using EDGE the entire time. I don't know if it makes any difference but I'm using it on AT&T for now.

I guess the simple answer is just to flash back to 1.3 for now, but I wish I knew why everyone else was only losing ~ 25% of the battery in 12hrs while I'm losing 65-75% with very minimal use. At the way my battery is currently draining, I'd only get ~36hrs of standby time with absolutely no use, which seems to make even less sense since it's underclocked.

If you are using the JI6 modem then that is your problem.. Use the JI2 modem

This post is what I was going off of :shrug:
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
Me personally, I devoted 16 hours of my time to comparing the battery life on ji6 and ji2. I found that either my phone is just the **** or there isnt any difference, bc at the end of it they were both sitting in the 70% range. The test was done on mine and my wifes phone, setup the exact same in everyway, took a backup and installed on hers and flashed ji6.

Did a second test today also. My wife had a lwp going and dropped the phone to 15% in the same amount of time.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
lol That is SkOrPn, Me and him discovered this (Well he did before me)

I wrote This < That is pretty much confirmed working.. You don't need to do the repartitioning, but its whatev :D

And he actually told me he took the guide & edited it from one of your posts :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] glitterballs:
I'm on 1.7 which has the JI2 modem right?
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
@Master, he is right, he never saw your thread. He just took my advice and followed som's guide on the OP and it worked for him. He didnt steal anything, lol...
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Did you not read my post? lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Yeah if you downloaded the JI2 modem one.. There are 2 options :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] glitterballs:
Baseband is T959UVJI2.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Okay then you have the JI2.. :)

But when it goes dead, follow the recondition guide..

1.8 is almost out & is supposed to have better battery life also.. Although my battery life is rockin
[Vibrant Android Development] glitterballs:
I did recondition once since flashing 1.7, but if you think doing it a second time will help, I'll do it again. That's the thing that gets me though, everyone else has awesome battery life, some without reconditioning it seems like. And for some reason cell standby and phone idle are just killing me.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Oh, I didn't realize that you reconditioned once.. Hmm.. I honestly have no idea, I guess reconditioning a second time couldn't hurt :)
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
I haven't cracked the code on this one yet, but the start up/shut down sounds don't play every time I reboot. They do sometimes, but not every time. I had used SGS tools to remove the sounds several versions ago, but I haven't messed with that since.

Call me old, but I really don't like the sounds going on and off all the time. I reboot in a crowded office and it gets me a little *too* much attention when instead I should be staring at financial spreadsheets. I think the sounds are pretty cool though :)

Can the sounds be disabled completely?
[Vibrant Android Development] glitterballs:
If I need to reboot at work, I just put my finger over the speaker and it pretty much kills any sound. I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but if nothing else, this will work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Yeah.. If you remove them

The boot on sound is located at "/system/etc/poweron.wav"

The boot down sound is located at "/system/media/audio/ui/Shutdown_128.ogg" < I believe
[Vibrant Android Development] infinitywithin1:
What master said above works. I use "root explorer" and add ".old" to the end of both those files. Works perfectly.

:: Vibrant; Bionix 1.7 w/JACs OC/UV + Voodoo; JI2 modem; Zeam Luancher; XDA app ::
[Vibrant Android Development] woodshampoo:
I am going to have to disagree. I say this because with 1.5 I had great battery life and that was the JI2 modem. With 1.7 I did the reconditioning, and left the phone overnight 100% charged, woke up to 21%. Nothing running. Something happened in 1.7 that is causing some issue.

I'm not complaining, just confirming what the other poster said.

Love the ROMS regardless.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Whilst I have replaced these sounds with the i9000 ones, I simply long press the power button until the menu appears. I select the "silent mode" option. Then I long press the power button once more and then "power off". Sound is disabled for both shutdown and reboot. No removal necessary unless you still want to. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ehall2k7:
Ever since I flashed 1.7, Maps FC's. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, fix permissions...Any one else have this problem? Any other suggestions?

You can also select silent mode from the notifications bar and reboot/power down without any sound.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Wow there is an "Edit" button for a reason..

To your Maps FC.. Everytime someone reports a "Bug" without a logcat, Jesus kills a puppy. -Reflash
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Something is up with the battery drainage on 1.7.. took it off at 99% and lost 11% in 3hr 34min on 3G and wifi!!...this is BAD because I recondition and with the same usage on my nexus one I usually loose 3%! thats 1% per hour! if on 3G only then its more.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
*FacePalm* I am guessing you don't read.. Sorry to be an ass, but this has been stated about 15 MILLION times. Lets see, if you lost 11% in 3 hours 34 minutes..

100/11=9.09

9.09*3.3(Hours)=29.997

So logically at that point you would last about 29 hours

Is that really bad?

Unless my math is way off (And it might be, I have been up all night)
[Vibrant Android Development] jir591:
I seem to have lost the HD Video camera app that was in the stock JI6. Was it taken out on this ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
3G AND Wifi? Isn't it impossible to activate both of them same time? also, how did you use it?

never compare battery usage between vibrant and nexus because screen size alone makes a difference.

i've reflashed with voodoo at 100% battery and i fell asleep during the first boot (3.5hours) after the flash. my battery was down 98% with 3G on.

i've installed quadrant and linpack without using them, then rebooted the second time. waited 5 minutes and started playing around.

battery is pretty good right now, but my random shut downs will decide if i can stick to overclock.
[Vibrant Android Development] quest4fire:
Download the I9000 start up and shut down. I saved the zip in my download folder and everytime I flashed a new Rom I just flash the i9000 zip.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
thats really bad regardless..not even 2 days stand by ..i've been up all night too editing this video for my artist..
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
lol, I do the same thing, but that first boot after loading a new ROM always takes so long that it just isn't practical to keep my finger on the speaker. But I usually try anyway. Besides, I know there's nothing that can be done for disabling sounds on the first boot while installing a new ROM. I'm gonna just have to deal with it. But subsequent reboots would be better for me if they could be done silently. I'll give one of the ideas posted here a shot.
[Vibrant Android Development] glitterballs:
Going over the last few pages, it seems like there are a few of us who are having some battery issues. I know with 1.3, I was getting 30+ hours with almost the same setup I have now, except that then I was using LauncherPro, and everyone seems to think Zeam is more efficient. If it was only me, I'd think it was Zeam, but since at least 4 or 5 of us are having this issue, I'm wondering if it's something about a small number of phones out there and this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] likingandroid:
I like the way you lay out the page. Very easy to follow and organized.

hi guys!!!is it possible for me to flash this rom on my galaxys gt900 france?
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Just threw together some logos. Someone should make some stickers from these:
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
honestly that font sucks..... but i'll try doing one too! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
He bionix and team. Will this new rom releasing today have the wcdma only/gsm only etc option? Vs just the use 2g only option?

Wcdma only is really nice for when needing to force 3g in a pour signal area...
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
You're right.. needs a better font.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
What are you talking about? :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
You can edit a previous post to add information instead of posting one right after the other. Doing this reduces the number of posts in the thread and makes it easier to search.

I wouldn't recommend you trying it, its not the same phone and may brick your device. :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Of course. Thanks. However, that wouldn't seem to appear to apply here. I apologize for not being more clear, as I really wondered why I was quoted by Master in regards to post 6807 on page 681. I'll surely try to correct my behavior as soon as I clarify what it was that was done wrong. Don't worry, I will try to clutter the thread no more with this subject. ;)

So I reflashed and reconditioned and I still get great battery in stand bye lost 5% over night..this morining I have checked email and browsed on here...lost 8% in 40mins. Any other suggestions thinking its hardware at this point..

lucky. when i reconditioned my battery last night i was getting crappy battery but when i use my phone at all it sucks battery, but if i dont touch it the battery lasts forever. the only apps i have running are beautiful widgets, lookout and set cpu. im also using launcher pro

[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
well at least you can OC without problems. i was using 1.7+jac's kernel only until 10 hours ago.

anyway, i flashed with 1.7+Voodoo and i seem to be having stability now. no shutdowns or freezes yet after 2.75 hours. i did 3 quadrant benchmarks, oc'd to 1200Mhz, and MortPlayer playing music the whole time. battery still drains a bit fast cause i didnt recalibrate yet after flashing but if it can last at least 5 hours without shutting down, then i will calibrate.

(im getting a quadrant score of 1670-1770, is it normal? database writes take a bit long)
[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:
Holy cow! I'm gone for a weekend of military duty, and I come back and there's 200 more pages to this bad boy than when I left???????

I need some help, please. I've tried searching and haven't found a fix.

I've updated to 1.7 Voodoo with JI2, and I use AppBrain. The problem I'm getting is that some of the apps that I had installed previously, but haven't yet re-installed, are showing up strangely. for instance, I have a "com.tat" application and a "com.sec.android." application. When I touch them, I get a "Not found" dialog box.

I've tried going into Rom Manager and clearing the cache and dalvik cache, no help.

Anybody else having this problem? Anybody know what I can clear or reset to fix this?

I've tried searching for "AppBrain", none of the 5 results helped. I've tried searching for "Market", but my market by itself seems to be working...

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Yes that's normal....
[Vibrant Android Development] blackoakx22:
for future reference you dont have to disable voodoo
[Vibrant Android Development] blackoakx22:
noob question but here it is. do i have to disable voodoo to flash the JI2 modem??
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
which is actually dangerous because he mixes up instructions easily.

my vibrant is running 3 hours and going strong! (wifi + music full volume + oc 1.2Ghz = 85%)

i havent reconditioned yet but the point is my vibrant handles OC very well now with voodoo..
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Personally I think there is something odd going on with the Rom. 1.7 that is.

I've noticed that battery power seems to dive pretty quick from 100% down to 90. Then all of the sudden the thing seems to start sipping battery power when its closer to 80%.

The reason I point this out is I went from 100 to 90 pretty quick yesterday after pulling it off the charger around 9am

90 to 80 over a couple of hours

80 to 70 over the course of the entire day

I shut it off last night around 130am and I had 72%

Seems to work like an old car I had with a wacked out Gas Gauge. Before I'm told to recondition the battery or reset the battery monitor in the OS been there done that. Just pointing out what I've observed because I see a lot of people freaking out over battery usage after pulling it off the charger. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] bigc07:
Edit: Restarted a few time and it started working! So disregard post!
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
as far as i know whenever you flash anything, disable voodoo. not sure though
[Vibrant Android Development] blackoakx22:
yea thats normal im using 1.7OC/UV/Voodoo with JI6 and im getting 1985 in quadrant. but i noticed that the database writes take forever even on stock so im guessing that it is normal but im going to let my battery die entirely and then re-charge it and if its not better im flashing 1.7 with JI2 modem but i have heard tha launcher pro sucks battery
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Yes, always disable voodoo before flashing anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] Waffle Slayer:
So on Saturday I posted that I was having battery issues. Bionix/ViralBlack suggested I do the conditioning thing. Meant to post sooner but things got in the way.

Right now my phone has been unplugged from 100% for 12h 27m 30s and is at 51%. About 6-7 of those were me sleeping. The rest I was using it moderately with wifi and using it for twitter and using the browser.

Thanks guys. Thats a lot better than a freshly bionix installed phone sitting idle w/ screen off and being half dead after two hours haha.
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
LauncherPro - battery drain = WIN

ardchoille, after flashing something, for example when i flash 1.8 when it comes out, how do i re-enable voodoo?
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
What??? There's gonna be a new ROM today!?!?! I'm gonna have to quit working so I can have full time devoted to playing with this thing.

Seriously, is there supposed to be a new ROM today?

no wifi problems here. its you/router/etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Cool thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
using stock launcher at the moment but i was always using LauncherPro (i bought it too)

also, it's only a few pages back but since you didnt bother to read Sombionix's post,

"BIONIX 1.8 IT'S ON ITS WAY". not yet but pretty soon, like i dunno, 2 days? lol
[Vibrant Android Development] blackoakx22:
thanks and will it wipe all data such as texts?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I cannot connect to my Linksys 610n with 1.7 but my Cisco and my older linksys work fine. Well I take that back I can connect to the 610n but it takes alot of tries ..

no logcat but I will tell you from the debug , it appears that Wpa_supplicant is crashing some of the time ...
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Flashing any Bionix ROM will wipe your device but won't touch anything on the internal or external SD cards.
[Vibrant Android Development] FRuiTBoOT:
I an having pandora freezes all the time with the 1.7 OC/UV, also will freeze up now on stock 1.7. I do remember when I was on 1.6 I had reverted to 1.4 because of the same issue. When using the OC/UV versions my settings on Setcpu were 200 min and 1200 max. No profiles either.

[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
Flashed 1.7 OC w/o Voodoo. Pretty awesome.

I realize it doesn't matter at this point, but does having this ROM make it so I don't get OTA updates? Just curious because it's been out for days and I still haven't received notification. I came from 1.4 before this.
[Vibrant Android Development] castro_OO:
If you have a custom rom you wont get the OTA update..

Long story, I ended up creating another partition on my internal card on my Vibrant. Using 1.7 right now. Does anyone know how to delete the bad partition so I can have space back on my phone? Really bad night of ODIN files, restores, fails, etc. Installing a file with voodoo killed my phone and I've been trying to get voodoo off of it and back to normal all night!
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Just to help out a little here, I'm using 1.7 JI2 OC/UV and this morning on the TPKE using both GPS Test And GPS Status it saw 12 Sats and was locked on 10 of them within 5-10 seconds!! It's the best my phone has ever performed!
[Vibrant Android Development] renardk764:
This rom has the update in it, but cleaned up and optimized.
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
for me w/ voodoo works great.

but awesome rom nonetheless.

No, if you want to receive OTAs, revert back to stock.

But why would you want to if soon after an OTA, TeamWhiskey will release a Froyo build Bionix Rom anyway?

im not sure but have you tried formatting the phone via Settings>SDcard and Phone Storage>Unmount Phone SD>Format Phone SD?

*** THIS WILL REMOVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE IN YOUR SD STORAGE ***
[Vibrant Android Development] cmerrifield:
Even with a stock ODIN backup I'm still missing most of my internal card. I had to restore with creating a new partition. I think I can do it through Clockwork somehow but I'm not familiar enough with the menus.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Did you go to Settings/Location and securty and make sure Use wireless networks and Use GPS satellites are both checked? You need both checked for it to work. Fist lock sometimes takes a while.
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
with Odin, there is a checkbox where it says "Re-partition", that may be your answer.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I wouldn't want the OTA update anyway, it's clear that Samsung isn't able to do as much with their hardware as Team Whiskey is able to do :)

Why I run a third-party ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] silentabe939:
flashed and ran quadrant

i threw the bionix 1.7 w/ ocuv and voodoo. I then ran quadrant and scored a 1712.

Alright...About my battery issue:

Baseband is T959UVJi2

Build number is Eclair.UVJi6

Which modem am I running? Thought I was running ji6 (DL'd the original 1.7 non-voodoo the night it came out). I now see multiple modem options in the first post...WHAT DO I HAVE? It is driving me crazy seeing so many options and not knowing what the first batch of posted 1.7's were.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
umm based on your baseband you are running JI2

But if you are still not sure, you could just reflash the standalone modem of your choice ...
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
I believe if the baseband is T959UVJi2, you're running the J12 modem

*Edit* Never mind - the guy above me beat me to it.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
You mean the issue where there were hundreds of blank thumbnails being created? If so, then yes, I've fixed it.
[Vibrant Android Development] glitterballs:
Are you having a large amount of battery going to cell standby and phone idle? Cell standby + phone idle = 64% of my battery use while using only 2G, which seems like it's much higher than I remember with 1.3. I'm on the JI2 modem as well with 1.7.

edit - I've been keeping an eye on this since installing 1.7 and cell standby + phone idle has consistently been around 50+% of battery use.
