Looks like this might have been the cause of my drain in 6.1.1... in previous versions, this didn't seem to affect my battery but with this, i was losing 30% overnight without activity when on other versions no activity overnight would cause me to lose about 5%. THANKS!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] geckobear:
Thanks for this. Have also been having battery problems, will try some of these to help the battery life. I've also noticed not only a shorter battery life but also that the battery has been getting more hot much quicker, especially when charging (it had gotten up to 45 C). Will see how these work, but may end up restoring 6.1.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] popokrew:
Getting like 10% drain an hour with hardly any usage. I think I might have a bad battery but before I get a new battery, I'm probably going to the stock rom with no apps or anything to see what the life is.

This battery issue is the only thing that upsets me about this phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
I am all of a sudden getting random reboots. It seems to be more prevealent after using you tube. Anyone else having random reboots.

I am running 6.1 Stable with pershoot's kernel, OC'd @ 1.44 (down from 1.497 stock CM kernel). Apps that are running constantly:

- Advanced Task Killer (set to agressive)

- Juice defender

- Widgetlocker

- SetCPU (I somehow lost the multiple profiles ie powersave, conservative, on demand, etc...only have on demand, userspace, and performance
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
My battery has been fine...

Facebook app started working after a battery pull and a few uninstalls and reboots

Only persistant problem is the snap to the top of the page/app tray during long scrolling up and down. Very annoying.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lafa:
Same here. tried it for 2 days, and it uses a lot more battery. My phone goes for 1 day and half with stock rom. But with 611 I only get 8 hours. I did a data and cache wipe from clockwork before installing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
If your getting less then 8 hours something is wrong. With high use I can get easily 10 hours and with moderate I have hit 16 @15% without recalibrating. Yesterday I started calibrating and it seems to be lasting longer after 2 battery drain and 2 full charges.

I've been unplugged for 3.5 hours and my battery still says full charge. Its been idle, but still, pretty good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
Everything is working good for me on the rom EXCEPT WIFI CALLING. Still stuttering for me as it has been since RC4. RC4 had great WIFI calling.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DToX69:
same here I have the same issue
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] babauv:
Same here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jigga0o7:
Personally I have to use a pershoot kernel in order to have stable wifi calling.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdWRX:
Even with the stock rom I had to charge the phone maybe about 2 times a day, because it drains put pretty fast.

But with CM6 I feel i get a bit more battery life, starting tomorrow I'll test it better, because I usually wake up @ 6am and can give you a better report of how my batt lives through the day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
Did I read somewhere in the 234 pages of posts that MMS over wifi was fixed? I thought I did but I am still having issues with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Great NY:
Hotspot and wifi tether still not working on 6.1.1

Any idea if this will ever be fixed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] osho741:
It appears they are working hard to import gingerbread source into cm so I don't think they are concetrating on the frayo builds right now. So not sure how soon the wifi calling will be addressed. I'm thinking the next build to come out of cm will be 7.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
I'm posting this reply on my computer, connected to the wifi hotspot on my CM 6.1.1 phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Great NY:
Yea neither work on my phone

EDIT:

i remember on regular 6.1 you had to unistall the Wifi Tether for the regular hotspot to work. but now it seems neither work from the jump. at least on my phone.

rebooted a couple times...unistalled the wifi tether. rebooted a couple more times. still get the limited access.

can someone do me a favor (just a shot in the dark) and upload the bcm4329.ko module from their CM6.1.1

a long while ago (like RC2 timeframe) i replaced it with another one. it should be rewritten on a new flash tho, but maybe thats whats causing the issue. because iirc RC2 was the last time i didnt have issues with tethering on CM
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] price31:
When use SetCPU and set MIN to 245mhz, after a fresh reboot, the 1st call the screen won't wake up for me to answer the call.

Are you guys experiencing this?

Thanks

EDIT: Actually, I would add that I also have the 245/245 performance profile on when screen off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] popokrew:
I saw somewhere in this thread to wait a few min and it will work. To make it work quicker, I also saw to enable encryption.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Set it to 245/368 ondemand and it should work fine. FWIW, I an OC to 1209 ondemand with no profiles and get great battery life. Try running without profiles and see if your battery really suffers that much. Mine didn't.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tankmorph:
I agree...I recommend 368 MHz minimum (ondemand) and no profiles. I also get fantastic battery life. I usually run with my max speed set at 1017 MHz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kevinballer08:
Does anybody's phone mic stop working when headphones are plugged in?

My phone is plugged it my car's stereo via the headphone jack and whenever I answer a call, they can't hear me.

Anybody know a fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mafiaboy01:
Hi, I've been having some problems with my Bell Desire Z. Its unlocked and running on another carrier but its still the same network.

I seem to get horrible signal, where my nexus one would get great signal. Under settings the phone also doesn't seem to be recognizing the phone number from the sim.

The phone is unlocked runing this rom. Don't really know what to do. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddgarcia05:
hotspot works. search i already confirmed that it worked on this build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I can confirm that (for whatever reason) I get much better battery life without any profiles set in SetCPU.. strange, but true..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tankmorph:
The built-in wifi and usb tether both work for me flawlessly. That's why I ALWAYS go over my 5gb soft-cap every month! I spend all night at work tethered to my work PC and my iPad.

I think if you have now, or have ever had any of the 3rd party tethering apps installed, it may break something with the stock tether apps and/or something about the stock tether apps running the CM ROM.

Try a full wipe, flash CM ROM, and then try either stock tether app. If you use the wifi hotspot, make sure you turn on security and set a password. This helped my Win 7 laptop connect much quicker. My iPad, on the other had, works fine regardless of whether or not I use any wireless security.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] John5788:
same. I am having wifi calling problems since RC4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DToX69:
Thank you :) I installed pershoots kernel and now my WIFI calling is crystal
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apzalo:
its a headset jack not a head phone jack, when plugging something in it assumes it also has a mic

i use this and it works great in the car
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] witm01:
shouldn't it be able to detect if it really is a headset or just a headphone? I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the stock rom could in fact differentiate between the two...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Great NY:
Yea..

I actually left it and went to the bathroom and came back. So say about ten minutes or so. And still got limeted connectivity icon. Tried a couple more times with reboots and such and just said screw it..haha

Went back to virtuous 8 and both tethering methods work. The built in and wifi tether. So its something with the rom IMO

Great rom otherwise but no tether means no CM for me..haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pimmr:
So I followed this method, but still it took me a while before I had everything back as it was.

I hope you guys can help me a bit to "streamline" the procedure so I can flash more often without taking too much time to get everything back again.

To start, I upgraded to Titanium Pro so my apps are truly batch installed.

I did a restore of all apps with data.

Reboot.

But all my widgets showed the "problem loading widget" text.

So I had to manually redo all my widgets.

How can I prevent/fix this?

Second question. How can I disable market from automatically restore all my apps? Because I want to do this with Titanium instead, now there is a massive download que once market is opened for the first time...

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jboy15:
do you get charge on this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
This is not true at all. Disregard.

The HEADPHONE jack on this, and several other HTC handsets are meant to work in conjunction with the built in mic, if they do NOT detect a mic on the inserted cord. I can confirm that on the stock mod AND cyanogen I can use my aux jack in my car and I can hear them in stereo surround sound and they can hear me fine through the phones microphone. I suggest trying a new auxiliary cable or reflashing after clearing everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Exanimus:
None of the touchbuttons works for me (Home, menu search etc.)

I have the chichitec 1800 mah and my battery last around 24hrs +/-. CM6 has definitely improved my battery life. Before upgrading I was getting 15hrs of use per charge.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rover_2303:
Keeps changing from 3H To HSPA??

so heres the thing.. im using the Sense rom that i downloaded from ROM Manager.. great work by the way :) but i keep seeing that my mobile network goes from 3G to H and just keeps doing that over and over.. is there a way that it stays on HSPA+..because right now its only been on 3G for the past 2 days and rarely changed back to HSPA
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cparekh:
Search the thread. It is supposed to do this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mafiaboy01:
Quick question, in settings does everyones data connection say hsdpa? It shoukd be hspa, at least that's what I had on my milestone which did 10.2mbs down.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ScooterG:
I use ROM Manager to backup/restore roms. Whenever I restore, everything is 100% back as I had left it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demo4o1:
U didn't installed the Google apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MERKJONES:
Yeah... my battery life is struggling. With each CM ROM the battery life goes down. I've disabled just about everything I can think of, I've dropped my OC to nothing above 800, and keeping it low when the screen is off. I have the same apps installed as when I got CM 6.1RC. I know cyanogen said 50% say it's better, 50% say it's worse. I just want to voice my views on the battery life so I can make it 51% say worse. I've been charging it for the past 45 minutes or so - it's been at 68% for the entire time. I left the house at 7am (off charger from 5am) and got to work at 8am - battery down to 70ish. I listened to my music as usual, and that's it. With the stock ROM (rooted) it barely took anything out of my battery life. I'm just getting scared this is going to turn into my G1 where I had to have 2 batteries on me, and charge it 24/7 to get an hour of use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aznsnake666:
iv been seeing alot of mixed reviews on the battery issue. I guess i am one of the lucky ones who find their battery to be better or the same

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
I have a new theory that battery life is nearly identical on every battery, running any version of any rom.

The only difference is that we all use our phones differently.

My idea of 'heavy' and 'light' use is so different from the next person.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MERKJONES:
For me - the phone is in my pocket, and I'm listening to music over A2DP. That's it. Sitting on BART jammin out starring at people.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] klmsu19:
True, but if you're phone is sitting on your desk idle and its going down faster then you know something is weird. And I can say battery is going down faster on 6.1.1 than 6.1 without a doubt. Im down to 78% off the charger for 5.5 hours with maybe 5 texts in and 5 out, no other use. On 6.1, Id still be above 85% easily.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Except the problem is that some other people running 6.1.1 aren't experiencing that issue. I have slightly better battery life on 6.1.1 than I did on the RCs, 6.0, or 6.1, so it stands to reason that it's not actually a problem with the build but is instead something either battery-related, app-related, or user-related (not to accuse anyone of anything, just saying).

There are plenty of apps, possibly more than not, that continue running in the background and eating both system time and RAM -- including apps that have an actual "exit" command built in. It's more likely that one of those is either left running, or has randomly launched itself (far too many have that problem, too). Example: GPS status kept itself running on my phone about a week ago, and it managed to eat over 20% of the battery in an hour flat.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
But we're quibbling over a variance of 7% which could easily be explained by a number of anomalies, most notably a figment of your imagination lol

But even if your brain barometer is dead accurate, there are a dozen non-rom related reasons why on one day you might gain or lose 7% of battery power when compared to a few days before.

Maybe a blimp flew in front of the cell tower and you're phone had a hard time switching between 2g and 3g... maybe you downloaded some apps, and didn't reboot and one stayed in memory. Maybe you placed your phone close to a magnet or a rift in the time space continuum. Maybe you just took it of the charger a little early while watching Good Morning America...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MERKJONES:
If this is the case... then why has mine continued to go down if I'm running the same applications from build to build? My routine hasn't changed. My widgets are all the same, all of my music is the same, my Winamp is the same... GPS is the same, etc etc. If everything is the same from build to build in terms of the user installing apps, then how would one explain this anomaly?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ntrujillo:
Ok so I didn't see this mentioned but Im on 6.1.1 and anytime I restart my phone or if it dies, when I turn it back on swype is no longer enabled and I have to re enable it and change my input method to swype. Not huge deal but it never used to do that on 6.1 or RCs. Oh and my battery life is a little shotty now on 6.1.1. When I was on 6.1 and even Virtous it was pretty damn good but like many have mentioned, just sitting there idle it seems to die faster than usual.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] temjinzero:
I think while it may sound funny, I was just going to throw this out there because I can't seem to figure out why there's a difference between better and worse battery life.

When I moved to 6.1.1, it seemed that I had a very high consumption use, but battery drain on idle was ok.

When I decided to switch back, I cleared battery data, and now it seems stock is draining at the same rate, so I may consider switching back to cyanogen and run some cycles to see if it improves.

I'm using a G2.

My friend however is using a Desire Z, and had the opposite problem. His drain in use seemed normal, however his idle drain is exceedingly high.

Can people who have highlighted battery issues identify whether or not they're on a G2 or a Desire Z? I know the phones should be exactly the same, but maybe there is a difference in the phones that is causing different issues?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
No idea :)

But that doesn't say anything about the fact that other people with the same build aren't experiencing power-drain... I guess it's something of a mystery at this point.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
I've got the same issue with Swype, Android Keyboard activates alongside (and it always overrides) on reboot. I just set a Tasker profile to open the keyboard settings automatically at boot so I could just uncheck it and be done (just to minimize the annoyance).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] temjinzero:
Also, I wonder if there are differences between those users who jumped straight to 6.1.1 from stock, or if those users who upgraded with each nightly and from 6.1.0 stable to 6.1.1 have any different results? Perhaps there are conflicts from upgrading from the nightlies to 6.1.1., or infact there are some missing things from 6.1.1 that are in the nightlies/6.1.0?

Blargh.

Auto-Brightness

Has anyone messed around with additional brightness settings? The only thing I have done with them is to adjust the brightness of the keyboard. I have a feeling I could gain a little more battery life if I unserstood them better. Does anyone have any tips regarding these settings? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g_grey:
you realize he asked if you have a G2 because your xda app says you are not using a G2. the only thing to do is keep trying at this point. try formatting your sdcard(you should back your stuff up first) and then putting the ROM and gapps on the sdcard.

after you have downloaded the ROM make sure the checksum matches, then check the checksum again after you have moved it to your sdcard.

make sure you are properly unmounting the sdcard from the computer before just pulling the cord/reader as this can cause issues.

while your phone is booting up try to run a logcat and see what the phone is doing then put the log up on pastebin for cyanogen to look at.

also are you up to date on your cwm recovery? reflash that as well just to be safe, things don't go wrong without some sort of error message somewhere

I hate to post this twice but I don't think anyone answered.. I want to install this, but I want to make sure I have a copy of the Stock rooted Rom on my computer before I do after hearing all these problems.. I made a backup, but I like to be extra safe.. can someone post it or lead me to a link.. Thanks a lot guys and keep up the great work cy.. Been with you since the VERY EARLY days of the g1 lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g_grey:
there is a thread in this forum(development) that has the ROM, you were not linked before because you need to find it yourself(it's good for you).

here's a hint, go to development, and find the search this forum button, then type in stock rooted and you will find your answer in a thread by paulobrian
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Did you hold the camera side ways to take the picture, then rotate it back to normal holding position to view? If so, I believe the picture autorotates, which is why there's that gap at the bottom and top. Try keeping the camera sideways when viewing to see if that fixes it, or take the picture holding the phone vertically.

Download it manually, using ur mac, and install using the recovery. See if that works. Wipe from within recovery aswell. Perhaps there's a prob with the data connection to ur phone? Idk weird lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
No i started up the camera in vertical mode and shot the picture vertically, yet when i view the picture it's cropped for some reason... My pictures from the stock ROM are still coming up in full view (fills the whole screen) but the pictures with the camera now doesn't? Also why is there no shutter sound when taking a picture?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] daft.71:
Only issue right now is the battery drain is a lot more visible than on either Sense or G2 ROM (on my Bell's Desire Z).

Did a install with complete wipe+fix permissions (I had the GPS icon not show up).

It seems like the Android System is using a lot of the battery, if I believe the battery use. I'm running at 1Gz/interactive with Set CPU with 368MHz when the screen's off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adp21:
I had this issue with another rom. Boot loops at htc quietly brilliant

Flashed the boot img file from respective rom separately via fast boot and worked fine after that

Extract boot img from cm rom zip file and place in tools folder of ur sdk folder

Get into bootloader and then fast boot. Plug in USB. At fast boot USB run following cmd on ur cmd shell in windows

Fastboot flash boot boot img

Once it's done, reboot phone and should work fine

This worked for me when nothing else did on the g2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Superfrag:
Ok, changing the LCD Density from 240 to 200, and its lagging again. That too only when swiping from one homescreen(or loading previews and selecting home screen to switch to) to another, the motion is very very jerky. When switching between apps, or in the app or app drawer, it's very smooth..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Superfrag:
Yup, battery drains faster for me too. Came from Stock ROM to this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Superfrag:
Ok, I've finally solved my problem. I restored ADW.Launcher through Titanium Backup from my previous ROM, which has the exact same settings as the CM ADW.Launcher, but that does not lag. Only the system ADW.Launcher lags. Very very weird..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cparekh:
All three work fine for me. Did you do a full wipe before installing? Have you run fix permissions in ROM Manager?
