I have this issue as well but since my last charge and some moderate use I've gone almost 19hrs and I'm @ 42%... been tuurning everything off between uses and don't think I've had or made any phone calls, just use of mobile data and apps... display is showing as 60% of the drain and brightness has been kept on 20%... strange...

I'm actually trying the overclock'd kernal with Overclock widget to manage the screen off and overclock and so far its getting better battery life than standard kernal. Kinda odd but its only a day since I have so I'll get a better idea in the next few days
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
Sweet... I was having problems with htcsense.com phone finder with the standard kernel..but I flashed the advanced kernel and its working now..plus I get way better battery life with the advanced kernel don't know why but I do..

Just found a bug:

when using HTC Sense, I can set Gtalk as a keyboard shortcut (in this case, I'm using 'G'), but it force-closes every time I try to use the keyboard shortcut. I can launch the app successfully through either the main menu or a link placed on a homescreen, but the keyboard shortcut always force-closes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
thanks man.(button pressed)do you get decent/good battery life with this? and how smooth does it run?

Anyone else having problems with Wi-Fi unchecking itself??? And automatic sync in accounts does the same thing so my Friendstream doesnt update... any fix or help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Depending on my usage, I easily get 12-15hours with this setup. Part of that could be that I switch to EDGE-only at work (really crappy 3G signal there) and have WiFi running that whole time (8+ hours/day). But I have Tweetdeck running, Gmail, Gtalk, Facebook, all that crap constantly syncing, too. The only time I ever bother to charge at work is if I know I'm not going to be home that night. I normally take it off the charger around 7a and am at 20-30% by 7p.

Runs pretty smooth - obviously it might run smoother if I had it up to 1.5 or more, but I figure 1.2 is a good balance between speed and battery life.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
I honestly can't see a difference between 1.2 and 1.51, except in quadrant. And I can barely see a difference between 1Ghz and the 1.2 I normally run... I think most people who just use their phone normally for just heavy social interaction, both online and phone convo, work, etc... and don't do a ton of gaming or cpu intensive stuff, probably don't need more than 998Mhz on a day to day basis...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stealth1985:
I switched to pershoot 1.3 and still seem to be getting much worse battery than when I was on 0.8.1 with pershoot 1.2.

I can barely make it an hour without the battery dropping below 100% and within 8 hours the phone needs to be plugged in. I have SetCPU setup with screen off at MIN, overclocked to 1.0GHZ for charging etc.

Trying to figure out why the battery is so crap now.

Also is there a fix for new texts not giving notification?

Are you using setcpu or cputuner? They have the ability to cut your services off on battery triggers.

Also, the android settings could do that: in Home Screen -> Menu -> Settings -> Energy Saver -> Here you may have checked "Enable energy saver" and things like "Disable Wifi", "Disable background data", and so on...

Hey bandit.. U got very nice fonts on ur screenshot.. Care to share with us?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
It's Bauhaus ITC - not a free font, mind you.

http://www.itcfonts.com/fonts/Detail.htm?ProductId=150842
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
30$ to change a font? I did not even know font could be sold over 3 bucks :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
No, $30 for the font itself. Changing the font is free, and there are quite a few imitation versions of the same font (search one of the legal free font sites for Bauhaus). I've used this font on a few different platforms and it's different yet completely readable in nearly every situation. I bought it because it was used in the logo I had made for my previous site, http://www.Symbian-Guru.com and I wanted to be able to use it elsewhere.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blu3angel:
Woww... That is an expensive font that u have... Hehe...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Sorry, i meant 30$ to get the font, i made a shortcut telling it costs 30$ to change it, because most ppl would use it just to replace the default Android font, and so that is 30$. Ouch ;)

Anyone else having trouble with fast boot? Noticed coming from 0.8.x to 0.9.0 that the phone takes the 'usual' time to load after powering off and on/restarting instead of appearing back very fast.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lazyluis32:
can virtous rom be themed? or is that only CM that can be themed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
if you want THAT fastboot use "hibernate" instead of "power off"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
this is android, pretty much anything is possible, it's just a matter of how much time do you want to spend doing it... you should search blu3angel's posts though, in the last week, he posted about an easy way to theme your taskbar and notifications panel... check it out =)

edit: to make it easier, do a search on "UOT" on this thread, you will find the posts quickly...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Ah, right. I wouldn't spend $30 on a font *solely* for my phone. As mentioned, I actually used it in a logo and elsewhere on my website, so I needed to have a full license to use it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
I've been wanting to check out CM7 since it hit the nightlies, and quite honestly, I can't see a single feature in Gingerbread that I need to counteract the numerous features I would lose switching from Virtuous. The *only* real 'feature' would be the included SIP functionality, but I already have plenty of minutes and the hacked Skype app, so even that's not really a big deal for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
yeah i agree. its a hassle to have the flash the clockworks back and forth, the only reason i would do it would be for novelty reasons. where can you find the sykpe app? i would mind a PM on that subject. i honestly really just want that damn screen off animation! but i cant even see HTC themselves implementing that into their HTC sense skinned gingerbread.

I totally understand where you guys are coming from not wanting to check out cm7 as of yet. This version of Virtuous with the standard kernel is really all I need.

I get this too, with Handcent. In fact, nearly 2 out of 10 SMS that I respond to, I get the 'message not sent' notification, though it sends out within 3-5 seconds after that. Kinda weird - almost like I wish I could set a delay for when Handcent checks to see if the message sent.

is HTC messaging still present on your roms? I have completely replaced it with the CM 6.1.1 version of vanilla mms, and have never had this issue... neither the htc messaging or htc messaging widget are present in my rom... not sure if that matters, or if it's just the program itself that matters... just letting you know what's "worked" for me =)

It's going to be a while before the next release, which will be 1.0.0. We have no time table to provide, so enjoy 0.9.0 for now. :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
What can we expect? I know its an annoying question to ask, but still. Idk what else could be implemented that would take away from true sense, which is what i thought your plan was with this rom, correct? I know that any added features wouldn't make it a true sense rom. Also, what is virtuous buddy? Is it somehting that is still in the works? I read earlier about it but wasn't sure what it was about. A website?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I think if you look at the change log for the incredible's version of virtuous, which is much further along (3.1 I think), you will have a pretty good idea of what to expect...at some point anyway.

Virtuous Buddy seems to be a script app to easily add or remove elements of the rom.

I love this version of the ROM (.9) but I'm not having any love from Bluetooth. I see others reporting issues in this thread as well, just wondering if anyone knows of a "fix". I can't pair it to either of our cars (both Audi's). The cars won't even show up in a search. If I try 100x I might be able to get the DZ to show up once from the car's search, but it never pairs.

I did manage to pair it with my MacBook...

Anyway, I'm trying to use the DZ as my daily driver but lack of working BT is going to be a problem. I've tried a few other ROM's but they are not on the same base RUU and therefore have the Exchange 2010 sync issue which Virtuous does not.

Help...?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xanth:
I appreciate that at first that this won't sound very helpful, but I wonder if this might (at least partially) be Audi trying to do something weird as I've not had any problems pairing it to my Ford (Virtuous 0.9.0, but previously 0.8.x as well). It's able to use the car as a handsfree device and likewise the car can read the address book of the phone too (I have to manually grant permission for that the first time).

Could you get it to work before with the stock DZ ROM? I only ask because as far as I'm aware these ROMs *are* the stock roms just with a few (okay a lot!) extras/updates such as pre-rooted etc.

I know that the Bluetooth stack with the Sense ROMs is a bit messed up as you're unable to connect Wiimotes to it, but the fact you can't even see the Audi's suggests to me that it might just be as simple as you have to go into their setup menus to make Bluetooth visible, at least long enough to pair it? Sorry if that sounds obvious and you've already tried that, but even if it couldn't connect/handle all the profiles the Audi is trying to use it should still at least see the device, unless it's not discoverable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mickliq:
Never tried with the stock ROM, it was so locked down and useless (I don't run on the carrier that supplied the branded ROM). I have had success pairing with my Desire (eg keyboard-less) which is also running Froyo so I'm pretty sure this is a DZ/Virtuous issue.

I guess I can try a Gingerbread based ROM but I'll lose the HTC email widget which I love. Always something!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
for whatever reason, this is normal with sense roms, from what I can gather, reading many other threads and seeing people screen captures of the battery stats... really wish I knew why, because if I could get that figured out i think I'd be able to easily go 2 days with moderate use, if need be... as it stands with light to moderate, if I remember to disable data and what not when I'm not actually using it, I seem to be able to get between 12-18hrs on a charge... not bad, but every time I look at those stats I can't help but think it could be better... hah
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CarpeNoctem:
For the bluetooth issue, it seems it comes from the bluetooth stack and its implementation is quite old, AVCRP is stuck to version 1.0 while we are at version 1.4 that would allow blutooth devices to share information such as the track title or the caller name.

Instead some people have been developing software like openWatch to feel the gap but it's only compatible with a few number of equipment, a shame Google does not implement a more recent version of the stack.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] graffixnyc:
Hey Rmk,

Quick question: What are the differences between your advanced kernel and the cyanogen virtuous kernel 1.3 (the one you guys modified downloaded from your site). Is one more stable than the other? or does one have different features?

Also a few days ago you answered me about the black screen on wake, After finding a lot on this issue I have read some conflicting information 1. I read a post that you posted where you said to set a screen off profile in setcpu but in this thread you and others said not to use setcpu and use cpu tuner instead. When I was having the wake issues I had setcpu installed and then installed cpu tuner and set up the screen off profile there. While it did make the black screen happen a lot less it did still happen from time to time. I'm thinking now it could be because I had both setcpu and cpu tuner installed and running. So which is really the recommended one to use? Setcpu or CPU tuner?

Thanks in advance!

This rom works great for me :) thnxx a lot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mickliq:
Further to this...I took the plunge last night and switched over to the "dark side" (eg CM 6.1). Two things of note: (1) BT works flawlessly, thus confirming this is at least a Virtuous issue, and (2) CM flies. OMG what a difference in speed!!! I'm missing a few of the Sense widgets but I'll survive. The Email apk is definitely a step down, mostly in the area of search.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
That is what you will get, loss of functionality. If you're willing to trade that for what you deem "speed", then to each his own. Most will come back, eventually. The camera is a huge step down too, but if you're not concerned with that, you'll definitely like cm.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
Took the words right out of my mouth. The speed is alluring but even using the "dumb" kernel without overclocking I am completely satisfied. And I'm someone who's probably got OCD and is really meticulous with things like overclocking and squeezing out maximum performance. This is saying a lot.

Right now, I'm getting maximum satisfaction with the Sense based Virtuous ROM with the non-OC kernel. I never thought I'd be happier using this kernel over the one with the ability to OC, but it's true! Everything is balanced quite well and I don't have to be hyper critical regarding all the different tweaks and settings. It just works great! :)
