The important thing to back up is your efs folder. I would also recommend obtaining your unlock codes even though you are probably not thinking you will need them, you never know and is simple to get them before flashing to 2.2, whereas unlocking the phone after is a bit of a tedious process.

I'm kind of wanting to turn on lagfix. Is there a way to do it without doing a system format?

Whenever I enable it in Clockwork it says that i have to do a format first.

Love the ROM but hate the battery life.

10% an hour.

5% an hour on Cognition.

That's double the usage.

Now, most everyone here seems to want to ignore the elephant in the room but... this ROM could be the best if this battery thing was figured out.

Please don't complain to me about extra chargers and such. It shouldnt matter (for the record I have 3 batteries and 4 car chargers). I don't know why everyone is so opposed to TRYING to make this better.

What is Axura doing that Cognition isn't, that uses twice the power? This is what I cant figure out. I use the ROMs exactly the same way.

Well it seems that there is an issue with restoring things from a titanium back file. I am not sure what In 2.5.1 was causing it but I have been running all day issue free but I had to reinstall my apps from the market instead of my back up.

Tex...is this the drain you see when actively using the phone or idle. The only time I see 10% / hour is during full use...meaning display is on all the time. Normal idle is 1%/90 minutes with WiFi connected everything syncing normally just not using the phone.

Cog is better but not that much in my experience.
[Captivate Android Development] ageros:
I had issues reloading my apps with titanium on 2.5.1 at first as well. In the end I removed its permissions from super user, killed the app in the task manager and tried it again, then after that it found my backup and was able to restore properly.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
So a few hours ago I drained the battery fully, recharged to 100% and deleted batstats, then bump charged etc... and the battery still seems to be draining way faster than usual. I made sure to turn off everything that auto updates and syncs except Gmail, Yahoo, Facebook. I lost 7% in just 8 texts and ~3 minutes on facebook + ~20 minutes stand by. I was on Perception 9 before this and I would lose at most 2% battery doing what I mentioned.

Also on Axura 2.5 I went to bed with the phone at 100% and woke up with 90% :confused: I used to lose 2-3% before this rom over night.

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Boobie Watcher:
let it settle in a few days man, im getting great battery life.....i woke up at 8 this morning been ****ing with my phone all day long ....iits 12AM right now where im at and im still at 70%

edit: make sure you turn the wifi sleep policy on so when your screen goes off it will turn off wifi....and disable 3g when your not using it!...seems to enhance my battery a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Yeah I did the wifi thing and ill try the 3g thing as well. I also reduced all my voltages by 200 too see if it helps
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
I1910? where did you find that? :)

BTW, seems like the official froyo updates are causing device failures left and right. First Vibrant in Canada, now Sprint in the US. Good thing we have a nice, stable ROM here. I experience what others have mentioned, battery life, when compared apples to apples, isn't as good as other ROMs. Still, I like where this ROM sits in terms of overall performance, and appreciate the hard work that's been done on it. Different people are looking for different things in a ROM. Personally, I like the slow pace of change compared to some other developments and I like the involvement of Adam in this thread.

This worked for me:

move the Titanium backup folder from the External to the internal SD card and then update the software and it will see all your backups usually at the bottom of the list in Backup/restore. Hope this helps.

com.android.phone FC'ing

This is my first flash of Axura....been on Cognition, Perception, Darkys, and Assonance with no real issues. Of course flashed to stock/master cleared before installation. Same problem prior to restoring any missing apps or data.

When I try to make a voice call I get about 2 seconds of voice and then it FC's with "com.android.phone" has stopped unexpectedly. Any ideas? (stock JK4 included with ROM).

When it FC's the signal bars disappear to the circle with slash through it and then eventually come back to life.

Otherwise, killer ROM.

Funny story: I'm getting itchy to flash my phone, so I've been researching ROMs. Well, I'm already on Axura 2.5 and love it. don't necessarily want the VM notifications or the theme. So what do I do?

Every time I find a ROM I might try, I just can't bring myself to do it. maybe I'll just reflash 2.5 for the hell of it.....
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
If you do not have experience flashing firmware via odin I highly recommend not doing it. Even me with experience bricked my last device using that same firmware.

Edit: I am running it fine now, just a really bad first attempt at that firmware.
[Captivate Android Development] NeonMonkey:
OK, so when I was running an earlier version of axura my battery life was great, but since i put 2.5 on it, I can practically watch the battery run down, I can barely get a 8 hours of light use. Before I flashed I had a full battery as well. Does any one know what I should do?
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
I actually had heavier use on Cognition than I did Axura and it still outperformed it 200%.

Axura, I maybe sent/received 10-15 texts and other than that it was idle, and over 3 hours it sucked down 10% per hour.

I then installed Cognition, ran it 5 hours, sent/received maybe 100 or more texts, some facebook and web browsing, as well as downloading all my apps again... 5% an hour.

Those are just smoke and mirrors rules for ANY phone. As I said before, I don't know why people want to ignore the elephant in the room.

Fact is, and I'm not the only one to say this on the thread... You use Perception or Cognition, and switch to Axura, and your battery life goes to sh*t. Got nothing to do with "settling in", a 200% or worse battery life swing isn't coincidental.

The question is... What does Axura have that Cognition doesn't? Nobody can answer this?

Animations? Cognition has those too, just a different effect.

Black theme? If anything, Axura should use LESS battery for this reason

Blinky? I've disabled and uninstalled it and it made no difference.

????? What else?

Do people not believe in chargers for there phone? I believe they are boxed with them for a reason...
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
How about the Vibrant base which DG switched from for the battery drain reasons. I am looking into that right now.
[Captivate Android Development] rockettman:
I have been holding this in for a while now and I know that Adam is working on this BUT!!! People need to really stop *****ing about battery issues. I would completely understand if your battery only lasted an hour or 2 hours BUT the fact is that on average your battery will last you 12-14 hours. Why do you need it to last more than that? I mean, do people really not sleep are they not anywhere that they can plug it in a charger of some type (like a car)? What do you do when your laptop battery dies? You PLUG IT IN! People need to realize that these phones don't have internal charging mechanisms like cars do and that their batteries are going to get used up when your phone is not plugged in. Personally I feel that this is the best ROM in terms of overall performance and stability and now looks (thanks Adam). Adam works his tail off to try to please everyone and get things done to make this phone better for everyone, yet there is more *****ing about things not working than anything else. Read the threads...there are a lot of good information in them for people to get answers to their questions. And for GOD sake...plug in your phone!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Well put and much appreciated!:)
[Captivate Android Development] gin032:
So, based on my testing, JL2 and JL3 were good. JL5 was a no show, but I'm going to say that JP3 was my preferred option as it "feels" stable and consistent now. Not much between some of them, nothing is ever perfect. Just completed a GPS in-motion test (at -13 walking the dog) and, while obviously not having to deal with fast motion, it tracked accuratly. Perhaps I'll test from the car on a trip to the beer store later ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] yzlvr:
Probably not related to this rom, but do you know why my phone would shut down when not in use for a while? It has done it with other roms also.. I am using the stock+Voodoo stable 5.x kernel with jj4 modem. (The rom is faster and battery seems better so far with this combo). Other roms with different kernels did the same.

Also is there a way in the phone app/call logs to just display all phone calls always? It also displays text messages there. Menu will only display missed or outgoing, not both. It also defaults back to all... maybe I should try a different phone app...

Ginger Clone 2.2 Final R5

Why do you need that? Your sig says you are on gingerclone???
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I dont consider that to be "fact" at all. I am dropping 1-3% per hour with the type of use you list. I have used Perception and Cognition and I do NOT get any different battery life on this ROM. I have not replaced the kernel or the modem so its not something I have done to improve it. Why is there such variance...no clue but go over to either thread and see how many people complain about battery life.....its no different.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
This thread has started to turn into a pissing war just like all the other ROMS. It's really too bad. There's battery drain. The ROMS aren't perfect (which is why I suggested and it has repeatedly been suggested to have all the modems and kernels (as well as previous builds) on the main page with flash instructions so people can mix n match their own combos.

Tex has battery drain. We can try to help him find a solution or be not nice and say how great ours is (I really don't know until 2.4 my battery ALWAYS sucked). If you aren't contributing to the solution, perhaps silence is better?

Tex the only thing I can suggest is checking EVERYTHING lol (no I'm not making fun) Check and see what tweaks, lag fixes, sync frequencies, battery stats/drain (recalibrate).
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
TexUs - I have to agree with gocats7. I did not have as drastic of an experience while on Cognition or Perception. In fact, I felt Perception was very unstable for me. I really don't know what to tell you other than everyone here will try to help you determine what is going on. I don't want to lump this into "I guess I got a better Cappy than you". No one here is saying that.

As I stated in an earlier post, I try to be smart about how I use my phone. I plug in when I can and depending on what I'm doing (GPS in car, music @ work, etc). I use my phone. I don't baby it. But I also don't leave certain things on unless I need them. I have either wifi or data on all the time. I can make it through a day without charging. 12 - 14 hrs easily. "Letting the battery settle in" isn't a cop out. It's a true statement from my experience. Bump charge. Wipe stats. Let it settle in.

Don't do that - it's not healthy. Let it out sooner.

Sage advice, my friend.

Battery Life

Good Morning All.

Time for my final update on the battery life I have experienced.

Please, put down the pitchforks and the torches!!!

21h 50m since unplugged (45% battery left)

Display 46%

Wi-Fi 18%

Voice calls 15%

Cell standby 13%

Phone calls 6%

1st things 1st.

This is how I expect it to be.

I made a number of calls last night, few text and minimal web/market place browsing. I truly didn't put her through the ringer last night, and I have nearly got 24hrs usage which is great.

I had similar results on stock, and on Axura 2.3

Axura is the first custom ROM I have flashed (starting at 2.2) so I can not base my observations on any other ROMs apart for Stock AT&T Eclair.

I do notice though, Wi-Fi is creeping up again.

I have just enabled the Sleep on screen off setting, and believe that may help out too.

I do not want to have to manually enable and disable Wi-Fi everywhere I go. This is a smart phone after all, why should I dumb it down?

I also have got a kick ass phone. Why should I disable functionality just so I can have it last a day...

I know this is not a Blackberry or a messaging phone.

Mainly it ****s me that ALL the smartphone companies are releasing these large awesome screens, super powerful CPUs and piss ant tiny batterys!

Honestly, if they made this phone just half as thick again, but had a 3000mah or 3200mah battery, we would have the most powerful package available.

I am considering the Seido extended battery, but not sure about how much it sticks out the back (because of the back door clip we have, makes it harder to have a new back panel replacement like most other Seido offerings do.

Please don't take this as an offence against you Adam, I am honestly just providing information about my battery performance (which I am happier with now after the multiple drains and bumps). I don't know if Wi-Fi is misbehaving or if the amount it is showing is standard. I don't have anyone else to compare it against to know if 18% is normal.

Performance of the ROM is worlds above what the AT&T Eclair provided me <shudder>

Keep up your good work Adam and have a Merry Christmas.
[Captivate Android Development] philly fan:
Modem

Ok everytime I get ready to flash this an uh oh comes up :D. has there been a consensus on the modem to use. i see there may be shortfalls in the one included. Not trying to make this a battery issue. I keep powers adapters in my car in each room in my house and of course connected to my laptop. I think the modem choices and getting that right for GPS and the signal strength is a reputable debate.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
OP OUT

OP_OUT____
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
I think that'd be wise... Go back to a Captivate kernel would be a great start.

That said Perception does well on battery too and is i9000 based. But Perception has stability issues.

At 10% battery drain an hour, largely idle, it's only 10.

But even if I got 12, why do I need more?

Wake up at 7AM, go to bed 11PM. How many hours is that? 16. Cognition nets me about 20 hours which is excellent, Axura falls far short.

Again, "plug in your phone" is a ridiculous argument. If the ROM can be better, make it better. You guys are arguing against progress, here.

I haven't tweaked anything though... Battery recalibration is also not it either as I've previously stated, I have three different batteries. This is reproducible on everything.

Perception was unstable but the battery life was better is all I was saying, Cognition is the only ROM at the moment that has both excellent.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
I agree on the battery bump as well

+1 for your comments :)
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
+1, I agree with the battery cal.. mine does last a little better after a few days on a rom (over all I feel the rom seems more stable but that's either me getting used to it or getting it *just the way I want it*.

Good luck!
