Battery feed-back

Hello everybody. My current setup: Oxygen 2.0-RC6, updated iteratively since 0.23. I had only two total wipes: when switching to Oxygen from a different rom, and at RC1->RC2, as instructed.

Device : HTC Desire

HBoot : AlphaRev 0.93.0001 S-OFF

- Table : Oxygen 90/10/337

Recovery : AmonRA 2.0.1

Radio : 32.49.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

ROM : Oxygen 2.0-RC6

Kernel : 2.6.35.10-CM-HAVS-Oxygen (as suggested by Thalamus)

Storage : Kingston 16/0/0 Class 2

As extra, I added the two powersaving scripts to /system/etc/init.d (rookeemod-oxygen.zip, available on this thread).

I attach my battery consumption graph. 65% consumption on 2 days 16 hours (leading to almost 4 days for one charge). Honestly, the best I had so far.

Moderate use: talk, sms, some browsing, some tapatalk, some email reading, some file transfer through usb and/or wifi. My habit is to keep wifi and data communications off, unless I do need them, at which point I open the communication link and keep it open for as long as necessary.

Many thanks for all the people that made this possible (rom, hboot, hboot table, kernel, etc), and for all the people spending their time to help, support and instruct others.
[Desire Android Development] ouglouck:
That depends on your phone and your usage.

I use the 875mV and find it great with no problems at all.

You can find the differents compiled kernels from Thalamus here: http://db.tt/n9DQBLv (link coming from his signature).

You might try the same, or to be safe, try the 925mV he prepared (less savings).

Honestly, it is quite easy to try, there would be no damage to your phone doing so. Maybe loosing some data at the time of the crash, but you can easily flash back one which works (as the 975mV one which is similar if not the same, as the one in the ROM).

[EDIT]

Unfortunatelly, you will have to try by yourself, it seems that phones mainboards can be differents making that sometimes what works on one doesn't work on the other.
[Desire Android Development] psariatros:
Any chance you could upload the modified RC6 zip please? I don't have access to a pc right now and for the next week or so.

It's a great rom, but removing the a2sd feature is a great disappointment for us who don't want to use the HBOOT table.
[Desire Android Development] ouglouck:
Maybe also. But I would guess (I'm not a very competent person in those matters however) that there are not so huge differences in between all kernel variants.

That was my idea on the subject, I will not blame someone from choosing a different approach. Everyone is free to do its own and nobody has so much knowledge that he can be sure of what is good for one or the other, especially me.

Good things comes from differences, although sometime it's good to do the same as others... ;)

[EDIT]

Have to recognize that being a simple user, I choose to follow my pairs. Would I have been a developper that I might end with a different approach, as yours, which should benefit to everyone at the end.

for those who want to move dalvik-cache back to SD-EXT.

flash it in recovery (do a nandroid backup first)

[Desire Android Development] CrazyCypher:
Did you see what Adam_G wrote on Twitter? That means he will continue to develot this rom after Nexus OTA or not?

Thank you

yaaay! :) Can't wait for Nexus OTA :)

Also, turning off wallpaper scrolling in Launcher Pro helps as well for those using that.

You should not only read, you should understand. In no way he said he will stop developing.
[Desire Android Development] Kendoji:
Holy crap, that is quite amazing! I was wary of trying those scripts, but seeing this I might have to give it a go.
[Desire Android Development] Fusio9:
uhm.. now what?

ROM Manager says I got ClockworkMod recovery installed.. but when I try to go into recovery it freezes at the red triangle O_O

I hope this is not against the forum rules!
[Desire Android Development] psariatros:
Thank you. That did the trick.
[Desire Android Development] litening:
Go ahead. I haven't regretted it at all.

Have been applying all upgrades from RC2 (skipping RC4) without wiping. No problems whatsoever.

Only got better for me.
[Desire Android Development] MisterWolfe:
I'd love it if Ad Free worked on this awesome ROM.
[Desire Android Development] kili:
Hey!

I was happy with Oxygen all the time. But now, I removed my ext3 partiton and tried to install rc6. I had before on rc5 also the oxygen hboot.

On rc6, if i try to download something from the market, the phone reboots, but not complete, only from the oxygen screen.

I flashed also the vork kernel and it was the same.

Shoud i flash the n1table?

Or should i partiton my sdcard again to have an ext3 partiton again?
[Desire Android Development] xanadu:
I think with sd ext and /dalvik on sd ext is better: read/write are faster on sd too.
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
I installed it and made this:

adb shell

mount /system

mount /sdcard

cd system

cd etc

cp hosts /sdcard/etc/hosts

rm -r hosts

ln -s /sdcard/etc/hosts hosts

and it works ; )
[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
Nothing to get too excited. You don't need to install any special scripts to get 2+ day battery life with that kind of usage pattern with pretty much any ROM. I regularly get 2+ days when roaming since my mobile data is always off with intermittent WiFi use where available. Except this usage pattern defeats the purpose of having a smart phone and assumes the user has no need for any push services (email/chat/news) ...

Most people want ROM/kernel that lets a phone get from 6am to midnight and have 20ish percent left with a few calls throughout the day while keeping email/chat on throughout the day if with just 2G (3G/GPS/WiFi on need to use basis) ... far too many fail with this more realistic pattern.

[Desire Android Development] Kendoji:
Well I've had quite variable mileage, with fairly consistent use (push email all day, intermittent browsing and phone calls). I seem to remember getting around 1.5 or 2 full days out of Cyanogen and possible earlier Oxygen versions, but at the moment I'm struggling to get 24 hours. That's still fine, but I wouldn't mind improving it a bit. I'm trying one of those scripts now and have switched to the 925mV kernel to see how that goes.
[Desire Android Development] Ajthescot:
from reading all your mentioned kernal swapping antics does this kind of usage come into that category

to be fair that high spike was making a backup in TB

i charged my phone all night from flat but it did turn off at 20% and when i got up i removed the charger shut down phone and charged till green again .

battery lasted 5 hours today never experienced performance like that even tho i am hard on usage like constant.

screenshots are just ticking over with screen on tweetdeck running in background

high spike was titanium doing its thing
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Got a bit of an issue with the proximity sensor in that it doesn't always turn the screen on at the end of a call...bit annoying tbh

Otherwise it's been 3 hrs good so far, using LauncherPro Plus and stock Kernel and seems to be OK bar the issue mentioned above

[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
Mine is running fine now, 3mA all day with screen off but last night it was running in the 200's with the screen off and between 400-600mA while in use. I had the phone charging last night and I checked it before going to sleep and it was HOT! so I unplugged it and shut it down for the night...glad things are running cooler now. Not sure if the reboot did something.
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Yeah, mine,too...
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Did you root with unrEVOked? If not that's your issue

Can anyone post up a link for RC5 with stock icons since RC6 seems to be a big fail.
[Desire Android Development] chareos12:
Rc6: installed with total wipe, having several random reboots. Scrolling is poor, as the improved (useless) shades graphic returned.

Only thing keeping me to go back to rc5 is the sd wipe bug mentioned in changelog... sounds scary, altough I never had it...
[Desire Android Development] pavan-g:
bluetooth issues

hey adam, another great RC release, your work is truly amazing and the rest of the oxygen team...

for some reason in RC6 my car stereo is not picking the the "bluetooth audio" but is picking up the "bluetooth phone", in the settings of the phone, it states that it is connected to the "bluetooth audio"... i done the usual wipe and clear everything before i install i new from... so wiping is not an issue... i down graded back to RC5 and the bluetooth audio streaming is working again...

so again.. i re-installed RC6 wiping everything, even formatting the sd to create a fresh partition, but still no luck, for some reason RC6 does not have working bluetooth audio streaming... its not really a problem for me as i just use AUX instead, but having bluetooth was cooler...

hope you can look into this issue (if you find an issue) and fix it for the next release...

can somebody else try bluetooth audio streaming for me, on their desires so that i can have an overview if others are having this issue...

thanks in advance...
[Desire Android Development] CrazyCypher:
Dalvik2ext is working well
[Desire Android Development] skeptic1007:
Wait a moment: I am speaking about 4 days (not 2 days) with no push services (65% for 2 days 16 hours = 100% for 4 days), but with reasonable net access (wifi mostly). My 3G data allowance is 200MB / month and I use it on a need basis where no wifi is available. I said moderate use, not NO use.

I actually have two days of use (i.e. from today morning until tomorrow evening) with web intensive use.

I will not enter a discussion about the purpose of having a smartphone being push services. MY purpose of having a smartphone is having fast and easy access to information, whenever I need it.

I did full wipe and installed rom again. Still a2sd doesn't work. :(

Please help. What can I do?
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Yep! +1

(and it works fine too!)
[Desire Android Development] gippy2:
Here's how to get this working. If you need an update file http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829734&page=118

then followed these instructions and worked fine. PS Taken from another poster. Its the first time I tried this and it worked.

1. Search for Adfree Android on the market

2. Install and run

3. allow it to download and install new hosts file, it will copy it to your sdcard and try to replace /system/etc/hosts but fail (it should reboot the phone shortly)

3a. Phone may reboot, this is fine, don't worry. if it doesn't reboot, check your SD card for a file simply named "hosts". if it's there, then continue on.

4. Power off the phone and hold Volume Down and power.

5. Use volume down to select recovery

6. In clockwork recovery volume down to "partitions menu" and hit the track pad to select

7. Select "mount /system", "mount /sdcard" and "mount /data"

8. Plug in your usb cord and open a command line on your pc

9. enter adb shell and type: cp /sdcard/hosts /data/data/hosts (This copies the AdFree hosts file from the SD Card to the /data partition, where it can be edited by AdFree)

10. mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak (This renames the current hosts file, rather than deleting it, should you ever want to remove AdFree and return to the original hosts file)

11. ln -s /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts (This creates a symbolic link, which allows AdFree to edit the hosts file stored in /data while allowing the OS to use the file as if it were stored in /system. You won't need to reboot into recovery each time you want to update the hosts file!)

12. Reboot and enjoy.

EDIT: updated with new method. just did this myself and it works great. it updates on it's own now.

ANOTHER EDIT: I just had a guy PM me asking "what if the phone doesn't reboot on step 3?"

it may or may not reboot. bottom line is that we want the "hosts" file to get downloaded from Adfree onto our SD card. so if the phone doesn't do an instant reboot when getting the hosts, just check your SD card for a file named "hosts". if it is there, then you are good to continue on and follow the rest of the steps. let me know if you need any further help. i did it the old way about a week or so ago, and then did it the new way last night so that i could have Adfree automatically update the hosts file on its own. the new method does work flawlessly.

Yes it does, it's a kernel issue which causes many wakeups every second. Turn the wifi to never sleep and the problem should vanish.

It's an issue in the upstream kernel source unfortunately. :(
[Desire Android Development] skeptic1007:
It may be the case if the r/w speed to your sd card is better than that to your internal memory. By the way, I have not seen actual data on r/w speed to the internal memory, is there a Market app to test that?

I see you still haven't fixed your regulator voltages...lol.

Also, BFS causes intermittent bugs with SD cards and asec containers mounting. CFS is just as smooth, and the rest of the stuff you have added doesn't really give any benefit.

Thats with the stock 975mV kernel, and 'normal usage', whatever that may be. :)
[Desire Android Development] Voormijgeenvfmeer:
Battery problems

In my case the phone uses about 74mA with screen off an wifi on.

But now I flashed the old 1 dec BFS-vorkkernel and the last hour I had an average use of 7mA:D

Remaining question: Why is the new kernel using so much battery???:confused:
[Desire Android Development] CrazyMcCool:
What app is that?

also whats these kernels you are talking about ( I.E the ones in ur sig, i read the README.TXT but I dont understand what and who are they aimed for? )
[Desire Android Development] toyface:
Hey thanks for the reply :)

Normal use was just browsing XDA twitter and texting, no music playing or alot going on in the background. I'm running stock RC6, best for me yet, is the stock kernel for this 875 or the 925mv, my phone has had a few issues with 875mv before, I've an awkward model :)
[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
how to turn on the "long press volume key - next song" ? , because now its not working
[Desire Android Development] randomelements:
It was removed from RC6 due to not working properly on gingerbread.
[Desire Android Development] :
I tell you what, I'll telepathically connect to your phone and ask it why it is using more power.

I'm afraid I really don't know. It isn't for most people, unless they are suffering from the wakeup/suspend bug, which is obvious as the suspend process uses a load of CPU.

You simply can't recreate the same conditions after flashing a new kernel anyway, a simple reboot may have solved the issue for you without having to flash an alternative kernel.
[Desire Android Development] :
Anyone who wants to try them, they are just lower voltage versions, which should save you a bit of battery, in theory. And yeah, it is the ones in my sig.

The app is called System Panel, it's rather useful for monitoring processes, cpu usage etc.

Well, I play Angry Birds quite a bit, it does get warm, but no more than the late 30's. :) The stock is 975, because it was discovered to be the most stable voltage to use by default. 875mV is too low to be honest, even if it seems stable for hours, it can just freeze up for no apparent reason.
[Desire Android Development] mastersjef:
Are the HAVS kernels in your signature the new ones?
