Great Battery Life!

I'm using sobe's #5 and calibrated using marosige's app. With typical use (a few phone calls, some web surfing, reading xda, etc.) I just hit 30 hours up and I'm at 48%. I'm going to switch to heavy load stuff for a bit to try to run down the battery to 0 so I can charge to 100% with phone off. Just amazing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I initially had great battery life, too. Then overnight lost over 60%. Battery use said "Phone Signal" was constantly on. I know with bad reception this can be an issue, but where I am, I have 4 bars. Not sure if it is kernel related or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 808Bill:
I believe it is kernel related. Yesterday I started having hiccups. Reboots, phone running very hot, and it took 6 hours to charge from 6% to 70% on an a/c cord. After it randomly rebooted, and got in a boot-loop, I had enough and flash backed to 3/26 stock. Now it runs perfectly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
It's been my observation that GPS demands a fairly high minimum cpu speed, higher than the 176mhz you've got set.

In fact, I learned just yesterday that even 352/245 isn't enough to guarantee that GPS won't reboot (even though it did go a long time, about 1-1/2 hours, at those speeds), so I'm back to running 352/352 ondemand whenever I absolutely can't afford to have an unexpected GPS reboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Dude really?! You felt the need to copy and paste that across the two aosp threads?

I think it's become apparent that you thrive on being a troll. Your post history doesnt lend you much credit either. GTFOOOOoooooooooo!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] windtrader:
I don't run GPS for long but a couple days ago I did have it running and within 30 minutes it hung up the device. Running 3.26, not much else. Smartass at 691/176.

Is min CPU a known source of the hanging? Is there a way to automtically set a higher min in a profile if GPS reliability is needed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Yes low min hangs, but only on certain gov's. Smartass and interactive seem to need 264 or 352 min to NOT hang on media. The ondemand gov doesn't hang on media regardless of min speed, I can't speak to GPS min and ondemand personally, but oldjackbob just said ondemand 352 min seems to be the key for him, so... YMMV
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
hey got another question for the rats:

does the market fix have to be done after reboots? or just flashover/ROM change? or nand restore?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
I was also having problems updating Google maps and then ran across this: Do every step even if it says no directory or whatever......

I know there is some redundancy there, but after foolin around trying to update maps for 3+ hrs,,, this finally worked.

It appear it may have been connected to using Zedge for mp3 ringtones? See here when it was discussed last.

FWIT, I apply ringtones/notification using the "music" feature that comes with Handcent and haven't had any issues with my ringtones resetting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 808Bill:
I've only had to do the market fix after a complete wipe and fresh install. I have not needed to do it after a flashover or nand restore.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Funny you should ask, I actually just answered it in the firerat thread before reading your question. I'll just copy and paste it here:

FWIW, after flashing CM7 Final over RC4, I did NOT have to do any modifications at all (rm 06BindCache or s0be fix) to get Market downloads to work . I'm using mtd 100 4 = 355 MB /data/.

Although, it is possible that s0be's fix I used from RC4 just stayed during the upgrade to final build (I only wiped cache and dalvik)... so I guess take my observation with a grain of salt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
That is correct. I got rid of Zedge and cleaned up my sd card and it finally started working correctly....oh, also did a "Media Scan" in Dev Tools......All fixed up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
sweet lord that's ridiculous. How about find where the app lives on your phone, whether its /data or /system and run the proper command (or uninstall with TB) then in recovery wipe /cache and dalvik-cache, then reboot and install from market...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
I hear ya,,,,tried all that but it left dingleberries even after deleting the left behind folders..........

Ima N00b,,,,,,,,ha, didn't think about going into RECOVERY....and wiping........." Thats alot better than what I had" lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
Thanks for the help guys. I seemed to remember something about a ringtone app causing this. However, I am not using Zedge, or any other app. Under Settings>Sound my ringtone is listed and that's how I set it. It's a short 30sec mp3 of the whistle in Kill Bill that I set as the default ringtone when anyone calls. Not a separate individual contact ringtone.

I'll try the Media Scan idea and see what happens.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pbp776:
Oostah, you're da man... I did three reboot after apply the zip and no crash yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
This should give us a clue, how can the processor speed be fine for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, then when it crashes, it be due to the same processor speed???? If the speed is good enough at the beginning, what changes during that 1 1/2 hours? This is why I think it has to have something to do with accumulated open processes, memory leaks slowly eating up memory, or something along that line. Do GPS apps accumulate data in a file that fills up over a period of time? I know way back in my day of programming (now I'm talking in the infancy of computers and what I remember in rpg II, don't laugh, it actually was a language used)that not all files have to be set up as self expanding in size, you stated the size and when full, oh well, you had to manually expand them. Now I know that languages are now completely different, but is there something along these lines that could be happening?

Did he drop the new one yet???

Yea its Me Again With The

Modified Hero
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
What should give you a clue to the existence of any real problem is my earlier statement that 352/352 ondemand gives me rock-solid reliable GPS for a 4-hour My Tracks recording, irrespective of any "memory leaks" we might imagine exist.

I never meant to imply that GPS was running "fine" at 245/352 for 1-1/2 hours, I only stated that it somehow happened to survive that long before finally crapping out.

Edit: Didn't mean for that to come across like it might have, Ron. My point is that a fast enough cpu minimum speed appears to add a large dose of reliability to GPS. At speeds lower than the reliable minimum, GPS eventually gives up the ghost. That may or may not be related to any possible data stack size issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cybertimber2007:
AOSP, I've noticed Koush has been mentioning fixes to recovery for HTC devices & charging while in recovery. On next build update (not asking for ETA), can you include that fix in a recovery update?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
Thanks, my misunderstanding. I have tried several different governors and speeds, basically with the same erratic results with all of them. Possibly the higher speed is doing a better job of masking, or overcoming, whatever the real underlying problem is, whatever that may be. I think ultimately the real question is still, what part of the aosp rom is different, starting in early March, that handles whatever resources that gps apps use. I don't ever recall seeing anyone report this problem prior to March, so I don't think it's a gingerbread problem as a whole. Maybe some other, unrelated app or tool that a lot of us use changed at about the same period of time? Sooner or later someone will figure it out. I don't in any way mean any of this to be inflammatory against this rom or any of it's great creators and contributors, it's still the best thing around!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
That has nothing to do with the Hero. It's for HTC devices which display a charging meter while "powered off"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
Thanks brickster going to try that.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Totally anecdotal, but after switching from interactive to ondemand I have had no gps reboots; at short (30 min) intervals or long (2.5 hrs). Perhaps it's a combination as Ron suggests between certain cache behaviors and the way the governor handles them (sorry, I realize this is not very technical).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Anyone have an ETA for when finally people realize the devs here don't work for us and we don't have a right to ask an ETA for when anything will be ready? Wanna ***** about when something will be done ask Sprint.

Edit: this doesn't apply to pretty much majority of you here but you know who you are that need to realize this

Seems like ondemand is helping GSP for a few here. Are you able to run it at 176 or need a higher min like 276 or even higher?

I also expect none of you are getting the incoming call lag either using ondemand at xx min.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Just try out what works for you. We've pretty much found out it all depends on the phone. Some of them like mine have no problems running GPS even at 19 MHz. And others need to run at 352 constantly so they don't reboot. It's a crap shoot. Just test and test.

There is this infinite loop of being stuck at the Wizard that crashes the whole time over and over. Please help.

Don't use ROM Manager to install roms (it's not reliable). Go to your recovery and flash the rom zip from there.

What is it about the Profile and PRL update process that it isn't part of this rom or other custom roms? Is it because that is carrier specific (I am on Sprint)? I've never seen anyone explain why we have to nandroid back to a sense rom to do PRL or Profile updates. Thanks to anyone that could enlighten me more about this.

Gmail problem has easy fix, just use the Email app to get your Gmail, you may not get all the features but sure you can read emails.

I think usually AOSP posts screenshots of anything new that works with new version on the first page, that should hive you some idea as what to expect.

None of the voice input stuff seems to work either. Like voice search, or having it type a message for you using your voice.

Seems like the "Voice Dialer" works fine, but anything related to "Voice Search" does not.

You don't have to reboot if you get stuck in landscape. Just go to menu> display>uncheck auto rotate screen.

Reboot time

Probably a really dumb question, but I'm good at that. Is there any way to set phone so that when you turn it off and then back on, that it does some sort of a quick bootup instead of going through the full routine? It can easily 3 minutes to boot up each time I turn it on. I fly frequently and have to turn off a lot and it takes for ever to boot back up. I know this time is actually a very minor amount out of my life, but today's technology has made me so darn impatient!!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] FussyQBert:
Using the Cyanogen Mod powerbar you can easily toggle Airplane Mode on/off. Just add the "Power Control" widget to one of your homescreens. A big list of settings will come up that you can choose to put on the widget, allowing easy access to tons of awesome things. Find airplane mode and anything else you fancy.

Now, whenever your flying you can just hit airplane mode. It turns off mobile and data, but you can still listen to music/play games. have fun!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:

re: reboot time

I guess what I'm looking for would be more along the line of a hibernation mode, like on a laptop or notebook. It really wouldn't be rebooting, just powering down, and before someone suggests it, no, screen hibernation doesn't cut it, the device is still on and active.

AutoKiller Advanced System Tweaks

For those using the advanced tweaks on Auto Killer and aosp's 3/26 build, duce mentioned earlier that some of AK's tweaks may not be necessary as aosp already includes the function. I checked aosp's 3/26 build.prop, and the following two lines are included:

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=80

Thus, AK advanced system tweaks "UI" and "Network" are redundant to what aosp is already doing on the 3/26 build.

*EDIT* Not sure if enabling them on AK will do any harm. I had them enabled for a couple days now and it didn't seem to hurt. But they are redundant.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Likewise, had them enabled since the update landed, haven't noticed any problems.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
Thanks for the info. Have you tried the Battery Tweak? I enabled it after installing. When my battery got down to ~30% it started to drain supper fast (1% every few minutes) and started to heat up. I immediately disabled the advanced tweaks.

I also unistalled MIUI Weather. That was the only other thing different with my system and I thought maybe it was trying to update itself even though I had data turned off. Anyway, after everything normalized, I reinstalled MIUI and haven't seen that behavior, so now I think it may have been the tweaks.

Also, I noticed now when I plug my phone in for a recharge, it takes much longer than it did before. Last night it took a couple hours to charge 25%.
