My battery drain test with Gallery/Sensor:

Pulled phone off charger, let sit idle and unused for 2 hours. 3% drain. Acceptable. Went to Spare Parts and see no entry for Gallery in the Sensor section.

Open the Gallery provided with JP8 v9.01, browse a few pics, close the Gallery, then leave phone untouched for 2 hours. 5% battery drain. Go to Spare Parts and see that Sensor usage for Gallery is now showing 2 hrs.

There's clearly some correlation between this Gallery/Sensor bug on my phone and increased battery drain. The amount of drain doesn't seem consistent. When I noticed this problem resurfacing for me the other day it was after a 10% per hour drain.

Gallery3d may not be the actual problem, but it sure seems to be setting off some kind of problem on my phone (and a few others it seems).

Top command from the terminal and adb show nothing of interest that I can tell.

Easy enough fix for those of us with the problem. Delete the Gallery3d.apk provided with the ROM and install the one from the Market. It's not as fast as the Doc version, but it doesn't seem to cause this issue.

Auto mem Killer or similar has something to do with knocking things out of sync..

Hi pele ...

what's your opinion about the beta5 ,compared to JP8 V9 Raw 0.3 Beta2 now?

Still prefer the 0.3 b2 ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Update DDJP6_RAW_.4

Update DDJP6_RAW_.4 posted

(The beta 5 with new k10e 500 kernel)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Negatho:
48h of INTENSE testing "Results"

I tried many rom and kernels last weeks, and after a lot of tries here is mt best combo:

My phone model: GT I9000 S pro 16Gb (International version)

Firmware 2.2 (PDA: I9000BUJP8, PHONE: I9000BUJP5, CSC: I9000OXXJP7)

Baseband I9000BUJP5

Kernel 2.6.32.9 hardcore@speedmod-k10c-500hz#139

Build Doc_V9.0.1_BUJP8

All tweaks are On

Filesystem is set on Ext4 for All, no journal

First what do I call intense use: wifi on, listening music, watching movies, surfing, sync mail on, phoning.... My phone is idling for about 12h a day.

With all these setting and combo my battery's life goes up dramatically compare to the stock I bought from the store:

-about 16h to drain 100% power while intense use with an idle of 11h with the stock setting Eclair 2.1... (I knew this forum because of it:p)

-about 41h to drain 100% power while intense use with an idle of 33h with my new combo listed above.

I do enjoy my sgs now as it should be when I bought it the first time. You guys should be rewarded by Samsung by any mean, dunno :p

So, Thanks to you Doc, and hardcore, and all others dev who spend their time to improve our experience :)

Big thanks !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Bit strange, can you try one thing?.

Go to gallery (the stock as included in the rom)

Check spare parts, see that gallery sensor started.

Mount sd with usb, dismount.

Media scanner will run.

Wait a hour or so and check gallery sensor again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] allotrios:
unfortunately your test is not in a controlled environment

first of all, your usage under idle is too high. even the 3% in two hours.

make your test more even, you should only measure idle rate with flight mode on

killing all apps before you measure make the test would also make the test more reliable (or even rebooting the phone before each measurement so that you get somewhat a more even ground)

make sure no alarms/calendar events are imminent

only then you could see if there is a significant drain caused on your target (galaxy usage or not)

battery is bad in froyo under usage. While browsing BBC news over WIFI with 3g off at minimum brightness, my phone burns 1% of battery every 2 minutes

idle is quite good though at about 1% every 10 hours (wifi and data off)

Apps mysteriously vanishing on restart of phone....particularly Open Table, angry Birds. Not just for my phone, and different versions of the rom. Weird. Anyway Pele was stumped, so I wiped and flashed JP8 9.0.1 to see if that helps! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Very odd, never seen this. How did you install the rom?, restored any backups?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] samsontm:
I did not restore rom, but have missing angry birds after reboot. And i have this problem since JPA rom, but i was think that i m alone with that missing birds. No other application lost.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Negatho:
I had the same issue with Asphalt5 app vanishing while performing multiple flashing trying to find the best combo rom.

But since I updated to BUJP8 v9.0.1 and kernel hardocre K10c, no more issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] samsontm:
@Neghato: Probably vanishing Asphalt5 after flashing is simple - not all rom or firmware support samsung apps and games for downloading (like your Asphalt5).

I think this is only in asian firmware. Doc will say more of this...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Have to be a issue with protected apps, a bit difficult to pinpoint the issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Negatho:
@DocRambone: shortcut was wiped but not all the app, each time I tried to reinstall after a flash the apk installer says that app will be remplaced, overwrited like... Seems that link to the app were missing but the apk files were still remains in the apk system folder.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Phil_UK:
Initially I installed JP8 v9 exactly as instructions, starting with my official Froyo (JP8), flashing the 2e CW recovery via odin( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108), then following your instructions including the file corruption prevention steps. The apps mentioned were not restored from Titanium, but from the Market some days after flashing the ROM. They still went missing on a reboot. I had applied some of your themes so don't know if that had influence.

I have wiped and flashed JP8 v9.0.1 now, with no tweaks or lag fixes applied. Just JPO Swype and AddOn pack. This time Both Angry Birds (inc Seasons) and open table were from Titanium restore. I have done a normal restart and Angry Birds seasons is now gone. No themes were applied in this case.

As I mentioned earlier a friend using the 7.6.2 JPO ROM (again no lag fixes) has found the same applications can go missing.

Weird! :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Hmmm, it have to be a copy protection issue.

Try this: install the angry birds, reboot, reinstall it from market, reboot, restore backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Phil_UK:
Just spotted something which may be relevant....Angry Birds and Open Table appear to have been installed to SD by default; I have the 'Move to Phone' option in the Application settings for Open Table & Angry Birds - other Apps all seem to have a 'Move to SD' option.

Edit: The 2 Angry Birds apps and Open Table are the only ones listed as on SD card, and the currently missing one is greyed out (without any move option) but still has an Uninstall option! Does this mean they are on the internal or external SD?

Thanks

Phil
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Good find, may be the cause. Lets see it the users with the bug can try it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] samsontm:
Maybe at default Birds installer on external sd card...And i have a lot of files in LOST DIR.

So maybe is sd card (external) too slow or what and got corrupted files. In that case maybe some of them is Angry Birds...Or same **** with internal sd card. Someone with more brain then me needed, he he.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
How do you reboot?, may be an issue with the extended power menu's.

I use quickboot and dont have any missing app issues
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Phil_UK:
FYI My external sd has lots of files in Lost.Dir. But they all have a created date of 01/01/1980 . Internal Lost.Dir is empty.

Wiping Lost.Dir and powering off... (no extended menu)

...restart...all Angry Birds still present this time. Lost.Dir all empty still.

...second restart. Angry Birds seasons gone again, greyed out in Applications on SD card in settings, some files now in LOST.Dir on the external SD!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
More: how did you install the rom?, non wipe install?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
Okay, will test that right now.

To be clear, I'm going to unplug the phone from the laptop, reboot, open Gallery, check Spare Parts, then plug in to laptop and mount sd, then unmount AND unplug from the laptop; this will allow clock to run on sensor usage in (since unplugged mode).

Lab testing vs field testing.

My test simulates real world daily use of the phone and what I can expect with my normal settings and app running. It may not be 100% scientific, but it's good enough to demonstrate my point, which is that when the Gallery/Sensor usage is running amok, the phone drains battery faster than when it's not.

In both tests the phone sat in the exact same location with strong signal (no radio powering up and down issue), the same widgets running, same polling on background apps. The only difference was the Gallery app had been opened and apparently started the runaway sensor usage reporting.

For my phones, 1.0 to 1.5% per hour drain is pretty normal. This has held true for my Nexus One, my HTC EVO 4G, and my Galaxy S, on both Froyo and Eclair. I don't bother with WiFi and data off unless I know I'll be away from a nearby charger and plan to use the phone a lot. 1.5% drain lets you get through a day plus in just idle.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
i managed to, sort of created an issue (or almost something like it) ... while i was making a backup with titanium, i opened and closed apps like an idiot that, at the same moment got backed-up.

nothing strange to see, as al the back-up's where in the titanium folder.

did a reflash with the same rom, downloaded titanium from the market and did a batch restore of all the missing apps+data, then a reboot, and voila .... half of the restored apps where gone and widgets on the home screen don't work anymore. reboot, still not working, reboot again, still the same >> so, just wait ...... "loading widget" for about 10 minutes and they appeared again without touching the phone (only powerbutton to check the homescreen)

this happend to apps that got auto-restored to ext sd intead of int sd

this is the same as your issue??

*edit*

now it's completely messed up :S

FC and laggy everywhere, can't use 3rd party apps, only stock, vibrating like my girlfriends vib.... :eek:

reflashing again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toansta:
um doc, i think i must have made a mistake somewhere with the custom signing kitchen but when i installed the BUJP8 wipe verison (v9) the sgs tools etc programs do not install?

am i suppose to manually install it from the rom somehow?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Restore app data with titanium have never worked properly for me...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Did you wipe after install?. The extra apps are in data/app, and will be wiped if you factory reset
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toansta:
oh possibly...

thanks i'll keep that in mind for next version update :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
emmm havent got round to testing that one yet, thats why i wanted others to give feedback LOL

LOL

doc is loosing his marbles... he is hell bent on speed speed and more speed, i think in about 3 rom updates he will realise that his stripped roms and high speed kernels are just to fast for this generation of SGS, gotta wait for the SGS/NEXUS 2 or whatever that is...

P.S. dont tell him LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Im currently using the JP8 RAW 0.2 is the DDJP6 RAW 0.4 faster / more updated and will it wipe if I install over JP8 RAW 0.2 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Bit ot, any new beta out of the cm6?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Its a no wipe install, but as usual i recommend wipe any way
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Would you say its faster/better than the JP8 RAW 0.2 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] LentoViolentoMan:
Doc's roms are by far the most continuous and supported, but, i'm so curious of what rom is the best for me. I'm dubbing between this rom and the 'ultimate' rom...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
i share the same opinion about that ...

i thing the 0.3 b2 has the perfect balance for everyday usage.

smooth and fast, but not TO much.

the kernels above k9a 256 are/will be to fast for the barebones imo

on the fuller roms (with or without add-on package) they work fine imo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tricky103:
There is a nightly build. I just tried beta 2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
To fast...?!... u kidding, can never be to fast :)

Look forward to upcoming 2.2 or even 2.3 roms from samsung with MORE speed
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
300hz should be the maximum level for SGS imo...

All the lag is dealt with by optimisations, tweaks and doc juice, plus stripping..

Its like running Jolicloud or some barebone linux with no GUI LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
So w/c of your current ROM is the fastest?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
..................LOL ?

btw doc, maybe a good idea to throw in some fancy transitions to fill that overspeed gap :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
We are not yet at over speed, if you use a live wallpaper and open the app drawer with in LP you will notice slowdowns w/c were not in the older versions and probably its due to the bugged/broken 2d performance in froyo on our SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
then there has to be something wrong with my hw/sw

flashing again atm, but before flashing it was so fast that it didn't felt comfortable anymore. felt like it was forced to speedy speed and faster.

to sensitive .... fyi: last quadrant average on 5 runs was 2583 :eek: linpack average 19.828

but i'm reflashing again, as i want to give the b5 a chance (or 6 :P )

Doc has confirmed its a bug with spare parts, but just to confirm try it with the old school dialer key press to bring up the battery usage see if the information matches with the gallery included on JP8 raw 0.2 its working properly no sensor bug on spare parts and nothing on the dialer command.

How does a bug with spare parts cause increased battery drain?

I only went to spare parts AFTER I noticed unusually high battery drain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Im not exactly sure because when spare parts show me non stop usage my old school dialer method also shows me high usage and battery drain, ive never came across that its spare parts only showing the bugged info. So I cant really give an accurate answer to it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
Valid Point... reminded me why i dont use live wallpapers anymore lol

oh my...........LOL ?

Btw,... my version of speed is animations off and everything is instant and 1 millisecond of black screens.

cant remember what rom i did that on but that was like turbo with sync on!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
I would have assumed that spare parts is just a GUI front end to whatever OS app or function displays battery usage stats. If not a direct GUI, surely they go to the same place in the OS to get the data they display.

Have people reported different results with the two (spare parts vs dialer), if so that shoots down what I said above. ;)

I would like to try new DDJP6_RAW_V0.4 but i have a couple of questions. Doc said that we should wipe before flash. Does it mean to do format from CWM or something else? If i install this rom can i install swype later? Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] allotrios:
sorry i am not trying to be a pain but all i am saying is that with the test you made you can't get sound evidence that it is the gallery that it is causing the drain

your idle usage is so high that it could be any one of many other reasons (like a wake lock for example)

as i said, I get 1% per 10 hours on idle doc JPO 9

if you are getting 3% per 2 hours it means there is already some significant battery drain on your phone that may as well be following an irregular pattern

Possible bug with the Calendar app on v9.01:

I use the app CallTrak from the Market to automatically log all calls on the phone to my calendar on the phone, which then syncs to my online Google Calendar.

The app is still logging the call log to the Calendar on the phone, and puts it on the correct Calendar (the one for my Google account, not the phone's internal), but the Calendar events aren't syncing up to the cloud.

The same app still works as expected on my Nexus One, so I don't think it's the app broken, and it was working on prior Doc ROMs.

If I open one of the logged calls on the Calendar, add any change to it, and save it, it is then synced to the cloud and appears on my other phones and Google Calendar on the web.

All other entries made on either of my phones or my web calendar appear to sync properly, it's just the stuff from this one particular app. I know that makes it sound like the app.

Could someone else with a Google Calendar account download that app and see if it works for them on Doc's ROM? This will help me determine if it's unique to my setup.

Thanks.
