hahaha,

Couldn't agree more 'DrunkPilot'(love the name)(BTW, I work for an Airline)

But I log on and get on this thread just to see what's new. There's really nothing to fix or messing up...the ROM is awesome. I/we all love what the dev. has done with our HEROs and I'm very thankful. Just look at the # of posts...NUFF said.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
+1. Agreed. I just tried bit for the 1st time and noticed quite a bit more lag than without between screens. Once again, "they" were right: every phone is different. I might check out some different governor settings.

to the people getting 24+ battery life, that use only this phone, do you roll with ondemand or interactive/smartass? I have noticed a few ondemands for the people that stream audio. I'm not a big Pandora person, but I might be if I could remember my login info. Love the slack key. I might write a gingerbread ringtone on uke to kill some time.

I think aosp is really Charlie Sheen. He must be a warlock with a magic wand and tiger's blood coursing through his veins to pull this off. Maybe cyanogen is really a brood of Witchess? Maybe my hangover is already kicking in?

As for those getting great battery life vs. those who don't, battery life has a lot to do with how you treat it. If you charge it any time you are near a charger it is going to die faster then someone who discharges fully then charges. That is life you can't get back with a battery stats reset. Next phone care for your battery better and you will get better results. Just a nickels worth of free advise.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I use ondemand and pull 30-36 hours of documented battery life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
It's amazing to me that someone would rather waste time waiting for an answer to a rather easy question that can be figured out with minimal effort involved. Everytime I see one like that now I'm just gonna link them to the board rules rather than breaking the thread rule #6 of being a Dink. I could've gotten a couple tickets on that offense ;) oops.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] phillyman02:
Li batteries have no memory and don't have to be fully discharged. The amount (depth) of dicharge actually determines the cycle count. Consistant full discharges will actually decrease a Li batts life. Another big enemy is heat. Leaving your phone in a hot car etc, will really eat the battery.

GV too many rings issue.

Finally, I've caught up on all the posts since Sunday (last day of work :D ) and I do have something to contribute to those of you using GV and running into too many rings before your callers hit Voice Mial.

The following FYI applies if you were a GV user previously or if you use GV for more than just your HeroC's VM. If you're experiencing a lot of rings before Voice Mail check out the following "fix". One way you may be able to validate the long rings is by calling yourself and listening for a change in ring tone on the phone you're calling from. This change in tone is GV forwarding to other GV phones or your GMail phone if you have it enabled.

Go to GV Settings ---> Phones tab ---> Select your HeroC ---> Click "Show advanced settings" ---> Under "Forwarding Options", ensure that "When someone calls this phone directly and I don't pick up" is set to "Go straight to voicemail" (see attached screen shot).

I hope this helps someone as it had been a big issue for me and one of my last holdout reasons for using GV for my Sprint VVM replacement.

aospCM GB Performance Settings Survey

So now that things have settled down with the new ROM release schedule, I think we can all agree that we've reached quite a stable build with 03.26. As some of you have posted, the thread has primarily become a discussion about performance settings and tweaks in an effort to both get the highest performance possible while obtaining the best possible battery life. While many of you have provided your performance settings throughout the thread, It's not hard to see that this valuable data can get lost in the shuffle and cause many to continually ask for performance setting recommendations.

In an effort to study the performance utilization of the various users of the HeroC aospCM GB community, I've put together a survey to collect this information in a more convenient place for all to view. Please take a moment to fill out the survey below and let us know what settings you're currently using and what works best for you when taking performance and battery life into consideration. If you find a question too vague or one that may require some tweaking, please let me know.

aospCM GB Performance Settings Survey

I've closed the old survey in favor of a better host (Thank You Google). I am currently importing the data provided on the previous Survey so nothing is lost. The goal of this survey is to SHARE the results back to the community, so we can all find better ways of utilizing our HeroCs. Thus, here are the results.

Thanks!

I myself have fixed the "too many rings" before vm with gv by turning on "do not disturb"... for some reason it cuts down the amount of rings...

+1 Deep discharge is tougher on a Li battery than short cycling.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
+800 digital :) can't wait to see the results of this. Only thing I think I didn't see you could add would be what governor do you use and if you use a screen off profile. Other than that this should be a good base line to learn about how some have their setup. One more I thought of. If they've calibrated their battery.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
Agreed, battery stats can get messed up and your phone may think 80% is now 100%, or it may show 100% and only be charged to say, 80%. Resetting battery stats will make your knowledge of how much battery remains more accurate. That being said, that is the beauty and the nature or li batteries, they do not have charge memory, long charge, short charge, all the same. Now old nicad batteries were a different story. Li batteries also do not lose a charge with inactivity, it will hold their charge indefinitely, where as nicad slowly drained, even with lack of use.

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the post. The problem was I was having issues even getting my freakin SD Card to mount with Windows so I could even get the latest HERCIMG.zip on it so that I could load it through HBOOT. Luckily I rooted a friends EVO here at work... put my SD Card in his EVO, booted into recovery and mounted the SD Card... copied the file over and then swapped it back to my phone and was able to get it back up and running. :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
As waffle said it shouldn't. But I recalibrate it after a new flash just because in my theory doing the flash uses up battery. Even if your plugged in it doesn't charge during this time so IMO you lose maybe a percentage or more. Big deal I know but it can't hurt so I try to squeeze out what I can.

Is anyone else having Bluetooth issues with 3/26? About once A day my headset loose complete pairing with my phone and I have reboot unpair then repair to get it work. Never have had any issues with any other build with my headset (Voyager Pro). I will try a wipe and reflash tonight. to see if that helps.

Thanks,
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wesssider:
Great idea. Lets see some results!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Yes, same thing, except it has been going on since the early-mid March builds. It works, then inexplicably it will stop. However, sometimes I don't have to do a reboot to get it to work. It will just restart on its own. I haven't posted before because I can't reproduce the problem. Sometimes it goes days and works fine, then other days it goes off and on a few times during the day. So, I haven't got a logcat to post. Recently, I'm blaming it on bad aosp karma from me flashing the RC4 behind his back ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
I was going to flash RC4 too but I got as far as d/ling it and that's it. Looks like ORD got the better of you ;) I'm still keeping it at bay.. for now... I'm extremely tempted to "borrow" the GF's Nook Color for a few days and flash Honeycomb.. but she'd literally kill me... She doesn't even want her Hero rooted after what I've shown her I can do with mine. (that's what she said - Michael Scott)

aospCM GB Performance Settings Survey
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
Haven't had an opportunity to really use it in a longer situation, so in a nutshell, I have accomplished nothing. Am thinking about doing a complete wipe and starting with a clean install, because have been encountering other problem. Now it seems that when I reboot, I lose all functionality of widgets, on all screens, have to remove and re-add. Have also been encountering bluetooth headset stuttering problems, some times so bad everything freezes, the song keeps stuttering away, but all control of the phone is lost, to the point of having to pull the battery ( by the way I use the latest version of winamp). I'm currently on 3/26, and that's what I'll reflash to. I have a bad habit of trying all the little tricks and tweaks I see on here, never leave good enough alone, and wind up with, I think, a garbaged up phone. I'm not by any means a heavy user, more of a tinkerer (is that even a word!), small amount of texting, occasionally even use it as a phone, but mainly as a media and info center (weather, stock market, calendar, etc). Need to find the right combo to fit my usage, I guess. Going to try just fireats, 115 5, market fix, echo "debug.sf.hw=0" >> /data/local.prop, and the remove 06bindcache fix. Maybe stop there and see what happens, open to any suggestions anyone might have.

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm /system/etc/init.d/06BindCache
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
Have you done a wipe recently? I have wiped from the past few build. Just curious to know if I should go to the trouble if you have already tried it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
widgets: make sure the apps that have widgets aren't on your sd, and use the "lock home" setting in cm settings, should fix it.

media stutter: bump up your min CPU to 352, or try the ondemand governor, should fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Just did the survey...but for the record, and so I can lie, as I was accused, again ;)

Here's my info and the pic to dispel the accusation of "lies":

This setup generally gets me between 30-36 hours with "typical" use. The pic is a bit longer as I didn't make as many calls those days. I will also add that I typically also have the full 4 bars of signal, even in the house which helps save battery life, even over 3 bars. For sake of argument, I also get no GPS reboots with this setup. YMMV

All stock except for Firerats (no apps2SD, that new SD tweak, etc)

176/729 ondemand

mtd 100 2

JIT off

Surface dithering on

Lock home in memory on

Purging of assets on

Compcache 18%

VM heap 24

Screen brightness varies, but generally it is at about 25%

My Fancy widget weather is set to update when phone is unlocked so I have nothing autosyncing, except gmail, which is really push ;)

Bluetooth, GPS and 3G always on

WiFi is generally off
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Just a gratuitous +1 on these fixes. I locked home a while back and switched to ondemand and 352 when playing music and haven't had any issues.

BTW duce, I've done some cursory searching for a listing of what each of the governor's do with respect to settings, and can't seem to find a post or site that has this information. Does anyone know if it exists or has a link? I know some governors have been mentioned individually in this thread a time of two - with a brief description of how it interacts and changes the cpu - but I don't recall seeing the information all in one place. I think it would be helpful for those contemplating a change.

I did a full wipe when installing 3/26 the first time. Prior to that I was flashing over. I haven't tried a full wipe and install since first flashing 3/26. I wouldn't discourage you from trying a full wipe; it may help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Here's the info on a basic level as I know (understand) it

Ondemand scales the CPU speed between the minimum and maximum speeds depending on CPU load. If the system needs more speed, the kernel will rapidly scale up the CPU speed.

Conservative sets the CPU speed in a similar way to the ondemand governor, but scales the CPU up much less rapidly. In theory this will save battery power, but you may lose some performance.

Userspace is a way for applications to set the CPU speed.

Powersave always keeps the CPU at the minimum set frequency.

Performance always keeps the CPU at the maximum set frequency.

Here's a more detailed link

Karma is a horrible thing ;)

I actually notice that now and again my bluetoth icon in the status bar will go away...bluetooth will still usually work, but no icon. However last night I went to do a bluetooth transfer between my MacBook and phone (sending to the phone), but it wouldn't connect. A simple toggle of bluetooth off and on brought the con back and it worked fine.:confused: But like you, I cannot replicate that, no logcat, and it's a rarity, so no biggie ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
Some widgets on sd, some on device, lock home already was turned on, had this same setup for @week, many reboots, just started happening last few days??? Just changed to ondemand, see what happens, was on interactive. compcahe disabled, JIT on, surface dither off, purging of assets on, vm heap 32m. Use launcherpro, some of widgets are pure calendar, pixelart clock, winamp, aex (stockmarket), Photo Contact, Vlingo, weatherbug elite. All widgets became inoperative (don't recall message on screen in their place). I would say all settings were the same through many reboots, widget problem just last few days. I hate intermittent problems!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Thx Ranger, that's exactly what I meant (I'm curious why my search didn't lead me to the same github document - hmmm, bad karma, damn RC4).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
best one I've ever found:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/cm-k...m-2.6.37/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt

only one it doesn't have is smartass, which caps the screen off max to 352 and screen on min to 528, and otherwise acts like interactive, from which it was born.

EDIT: nice one ranger ;) you win

EDIT2: looks like we have an intermittent bluetooth bug, and a possible mem leak? Hopefully aosp will post bail (JK), and bless us with some magic (not JK) :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Intermittent, for sure. I have the power control settings to enable b/t when I plug into Ext. PWR, and disable when not on Ext. PWR. I use it primarily for connecting to car b/t for hands-free phone while driving. It works 90%+ of the time. I have not identified any actions that make it stop, or make it come back on after it has stopped. When I notice it is not on, I can reboot and that usually fixes it. At one point, many posts ago, someone mentioned unpairing and re-pairing. That too will fix the issue temporarily (instead of a reboot, for example) but does not solve the problem permanently. Sometimes, when first plugging in, the b/t icon will flash very quickly in the notification bar and then not stay on. That is the sign that it will not be working. If I go into power control bar and manually enable b/t (or go into settings > wireless > Bluetooth > turn on) it will try to enable, but then fail.

Like Ranger said, not a big deal since it is not used very often. I'm open to suggestions for experimenting. This is how bored I am.

Did you follow the instructions in the "read-me" of the first post?

Not sure what happened with VVM. I, and many others, had it working perfectly with the 3/26 ROM up till the end of last week. I tried making it work with CM7 RC4 and also a no go. Went back to a clean install of 3/26 and still a no go.

Pretty sure it's not the ROM, because I had it working perfectly up till a few days ago. I think something changed upstream with Sprint. I switched to Google Voice and haven't had any issues. In fact it sends you a text message with the transcript of your VMs that you can read, which seems really cool.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
yeah, look up ^^^^^

Know what sucks? Sprint not telling anybody about the disruption. (unless it only affects rooted phones?)

Either way, I simply cannot get GV to work for me. Every time I set it up, when I call my phone, that lady asks for the number I'm calling. I just don't get it. And it won't port my number for some reason, maybe cuz it was ported to sprint from verizon...? I miss vvm......
