Battery update

Okay, after the annoyance yesterday with my battery performance, I have decided to hold of anything major until after Christmas and try "burning in" this ROM/Kernel/Modem/battery...

I totally wasted my battery to 0% last night and then tried to charge it up fully. Only got to 64% before I had to go to bed, and it lost about 20% overnight (6-7 hours roughly).

Came to work and fully charged it back up to 100% whilst turned on.

Then proceeded to perform a bump charge (100% whilst powered on, unplug and turn off, plug in and wait for 100% and left for extra 5-10 mins, unplug and power on, wait for full start up to complete and then power off and plug back into charger and wait for 100%, left it at 100% powered off for 30 mins, unplugged, powered back on, wiped battery stats and then performed a reboot for good measure)

Just went to lunch and made a 5 minute or so call as I went.

WiFi - On, GPS and Bluetooth - Off

1hr 30m since unplugged (Currently at 98%)

Display 47%

Voice calls 31%

Cell standby 14%

Phone idle 7%

So first thing I am seeing is that it "appears" to have calmed down.

Not seeing the WiFi being a large percentage of the battery use (I have connected to WiFi at home, and WiFi at work)

Also noticed via Elixer that the CPU is only currently handling 30 processes & 16 services.

I didn't write it down, but I am pretty sure that yesterday I was seeing 2-3 times the number of processes running.

Anyway, thought I'd provide an update.

Going to leave as is for the Christmas break, give it a couple of times to run down a bit and charge back up to see if it settles into a good running.
[Captivate Android Development] Felklaw:
I'm pretty sure he said the reason was battery.
[Captivate Android Development] xxfullmetaledxx:
I had this exact same problem as well. I also had to download almost every app I wanted twice due to unsuccessful installation. Tried the "fix" above and I can confirm (at least for my Captivate anyway) that it works. I changed the gps settings to the recommended and although it takes a few minutes to lock, I've never had better accuracy. Overall, very well done and thank you for the great work and support Adam.
[Captivate Android Development] pimpnmaxima:
Yeah I felt that it was a little hard on the battery but didn't have any concrete proof so I did not bring it up. We will see if it helps the battery but I lowered 1200 & 1000mhz voltages by 100mv and 100-800 by 125mv. It has seemed stable for past build so I will report back probably tomorrow with results.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Not to be the rude shrude...... BUT i gotta ask. How are you building these ROMs adam? Right click wonder or from dumps off the phone :confused: I say dumps because of the build prop issues :(
[Captivate Android Development] punisher2008:
Thanks for another great update adam :) still loving this ROM

just still experencing some battery drain issues but nothing that carrying around an extra charger would fix
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
from zip. My bad

Got it. I tried the toggling the signature. Still no joy. However, I can go to green recovery menu using the Power Button long press menu with no issues.

Weird.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
I did the GPS tweaks, deleted the data, and the phone rebooted (is this normal??).

Now stuck at the swirly hands of doom for what's been about 5 minutes...

Hmmm I have a buddy on Perception that says he's getting FC all the time too. I might have him try that.

Where or where are all the stable ROMs at??? Cognition Beta 6 seemed to be the best ROM I've used. It worked with no issues. But supposedly development on that is going to end.

Axura sucks battery.

Perception crashes.

Haven't tried Assonance yet.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yep, same for me. See my last several posts.

I'm going to give SentiroN's 1.4.3 kernel a go later on today as was suggested in an earlier post.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am not sure I know what you mean? The build.prop issue was bc I was trying to experiment for you guys to try and bring an even higher resolution look(though not really needed) and forgot to change it back. A good amount of work and research goes into each build. What is a right click wonder? I don't think I used either of those methods to fix the VM notification;)
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Im curious to see this vm fix
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Battery issues

For those having battery issues answer me this.

Do you guys want the cool flip animations, blazing fast speeds and overall awesomeness, or would you rather another run of the mill ROM?

Try these ideas:

1. disable the animations

2. set up wifi scan times

3. lower your clock voltage

4. Disable 3g when you know you aren't going to need it.

I am just not sure what else I can do to help with the battery. I try my hardest to keep this ROM as light as possible only giving apps I feel accent the ROM. I created a custom black theme to help give the super amoled display a rest. I don't know what else I can do. There have been several complaints about the battery sucking. I am sorry. I do this for free, keep that in mind. I do not ask for anything in return,(although greatly appreciated) and I get asked for stuff 24/7. I try my best to balance these things and provide a very fast, stable ROM.

That's all I have.

Thanks

-Adam

Initially, I didn't think I would like the green in the 2.5.1 but it has grown on me. I don't know if it's my phone since this mfer wants to act crazy lately.... but i don't have any vibrate/haptic or whatever, when I press any of the keys on the bottom.. Not a problem, I just want to know if it's my phone (excuse to get a new one :p) or something.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Haptic feedback works fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Have someone give you a call then!:p
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Other than the animations there's no difference in this ROM compared to Cognition (which IMO is the most stable ROM around- I'm going back to it).

For some reason WiFi sucks lots of battery on Axura. I have it on all the time on other ROMs so I'm not using it any differently.

As with OC/3G/Animations... I'm not using Axura any differently than any other ROM and yet, it sucks the battery for some reason.

I'm confident there's SOMETHING in there that's killing battery. I don't think the cool animations would do it, especially when it sucks it on idle, too.

You're doing a great job, don't get me wrong, and I think I know where you're at with this "IDK what to do" thing... I 100% understand. I'm still just saying that I don't use it differently and yet it can still suck more battery than any other ROM.

I'm not a developer, I can't trace this and figure it out.

Maybe it's WiFi, is all I can see from what I've seen. Does ANYONE here always keep WiFi off? And if so, do you get poor battery life as well?
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Well........... I guess what i meant was that i didnt really think you had a BOX or linux that is. Either a VM or dedicated box. That would be how most "dev" work gets done. Right click wonder is just that. Right click and open the folder and change a few apps and maybe framework. edit build prop and what not. Just wanted to clearify ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I actually have a VM and a dedicated Linux box. I really enjoy working with both. Deving Axura is just a hobby. I am currently a CMS Engineer and finishing my studies as an Information Systems Security Engineer. I work and love computers each and every day and love to try the latest and greatest hence the reason I have an Android and dev for Axura.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Its just cause its a vibrant rom . Vibrant roms suck battery life for some reason .
[Captivate Android Development] guccit3ll3m:
battery issue (adam)

I wasn't trying to coment abouyt the battery issue in a negative way and by far i like axura over other roms i have played with on my friends devices. Just letting it be known that there was a significant change of battery drain from 2.2 to 2.5 . As one other said its pretty simple to carry a car charger or usb cbale in the car. I would much rather have the awesome axura rom over any plan rom. my friend has perception on his device and he is switching to axura even knowing the batterry issue.I will say with 2.5 (havent flashed to 2.5.1 yet) I put a much more simple background on ( more greyscale) kept wifi off ....gps off sync off and changed battery controls in voltage to -50 on all five levels and im seeing a pretty good difference just in the past few hours. If i have anewer device is it reccomended to clear battery stats?
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
I havent even put it on my phone lol how do i change wifi scan times??

Normally i like dark themes but i think im keeping the gray statusbar for a bit
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
don't worry, that wasn't aimed at you in general. I just see a lot of complaining about this and that. I personally love 2.5.1 and run it daily on my busted device(new one just came in again today). It was more of looking at the users for an answer. There are things that can be done on the users side to help the battery as listed in my last post. I just cant do them from where I sit.
[Captivate Android Development] punisher2008:
Also am experiencing these problems as well but at least we can still get into CWM but does make it a pain to have to pull the battery each time
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
I haven't heard of that...

Well regardless, even though Axura is cool, battery has to last me all day. I can do without the animations. What I will miss though is the cool icons, colors, and theme.
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
Battery Issues?

Personally, I want all the pretty stuff like the awesomeness and things, but I'm awesome and I can accept nothing else lol. I sometimes get bitter about the battery but I just went and bought a second charger for the house and the the car. I don't know about any of y'all but I use the hell out of my phone. Watching videos, browsing the interwebz, hella texting and phone calls, so I'm not surprised the battery doesn't last until I get home. Personally, IMO and with all due respect, if the battery is that much of a problem, run stock w/ nothing else to enhance the experience and STFU...because as it was stated many, many, many, many, many times before in this thread (and possibly others) that these ROMs are BETA...they've never been released to our carriers (at least not to AT&T) of course there's going to be some issues here and there. I haven't had an issue that hasn't been fixed by either Adam or one of the many wonderful people in this thread. Hell, I spent all of last night trying to unlock and root a Tmo G2 and I felt like I was cheating on all of you. Anyhoo, sorry about the rant but sometimes, you know, I have to give my 2 cents

So if you want all the stuff that stock offers in battery, stability and yadda-yadda-yadda do the following:

1: odin flash to stock

2: Master clear

3: insert battery/ sim

4: use the phone to your hearts content
[Captivate Android Development] makitel:
2G / Edge Signal strength

Before I call AT&T, I thought I would throw this out to all of you to see if there is someone else having the same issue or a consensus:

Since I flashed 2.5.1 my 2G signal strength is very up and down. Areas in my house I used to have 1 to 2 bars now show as a gray signal bar or a circle w/ line through it.

In my computer area, which usually floats to full bars or 3, I'm floating between 1,2, & 3.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

I am sorry, it is the wifi sleep policy. This is done by going into setting>wifi>hit your menu button, advanced and select your option of liking.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
ya, the settings stuck after a reboot. im just really surprised that my phone is working correctly with all six levels at -200. does undervolting need to be enabled somewhere else besides the voltage control app? it just seems like the app says its working, but nothing is actually changing, and i would think with the settings i have the phone would be unstable.

by the way, does this rom have a kernel that supports overclocking? can't seem to figure out how to do that one. thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
I knew that already Adam thanks, i thought it was about something else. I have mine set to when screen is off.

Does anyone have any good voltage settings for 1.4.3 1288?

so far im running like this with 12hrs unplugged with 81%, left overnight and been texting and a couple phone calls so far today

25.50,100,125,125,125 with noop

By the way, thanks to those that mentioned gvoice can handle the voicemail for the phone as well! Totally awesome!

Build.prop

I had to leave for a bit and was tracking the build.prop situation do we still need to address the situation? Can we just alter the file we have or do we need to replace it? What actually is the downfall of leaving the one that came with 2.5.1? Thanks in advance for whoevers help.
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Battery and other complaints

I have to say that I'm amazed by the battery comments. The Galaxy S phones are not known for their stellar battery life to begin with. That is fact. I'd much rather have a phone that is full of awesomeness, than blahness.

Adam has provided the best experience on my phone than anyone else. Cool animations, sweet tweaks and optimizaitons (black theme), GPS magic, etc. As stated in a previous post, I enjoy that I can "drive a Ferrari" around. That is the experience I want. So, because of that, I bought a spare battery (two in fact) with a charger.

Now, I do turn off 3g (H) when I know I won't be able to use it. I don't need the phone trying to make a connection and draining battery by pinging away at a connection.

I turn off wifi when not needed. I switch GPS on when needed and then switch it back off. Normally, my screen brightness is set at the lowest stock setting. I DO NOT run auto sync 24/7. I let tasker handle toggling auto sync for me on a schedule I set.

I do watch videos on my phone. I listen to music a lot. I take a lot of pictures. I shoot a lot of video of my kids. And Angry Birds has me hooked.

I use the phone how I want to and when I want to - I just try to be smart about it also. I plug it in when I'm listening to music @ work. I have it plugged in when I'm using the GPS in the car. Etc, etc ... you get the idea.

Be a little smart in how you are using your phone - or in what you are asking your phone to do. Adam has provided, IMHO, the best ROM available for the Captivate. And yes, I've tried Cognition, Perception, Assonance, etc. - not just loaded them up, but used them for a bit to form my own opinions about them.

Adam - I enjoy your work. Thank you. Please continue.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Disregard. That was a mistake on my end. It is intended only for those that updated the first build.prop I posted as I forgot to replace the pixel density with the correct value. If you did not alter it you are fine.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
I feel the same and do the same. Keep up the fine work Adam.
[Captivate Android Development] Felklaw:
Hi Adam.

Hope I haven't upset you with my battery comments either.

I honestly have not had major problems until just this 2.5 and it is more of me being a geek and wanting to work out how to fix it vs ***** about it.

I try to provide as much info as I can so hopefully the penny will drop with someone else also and together this Axura community can assist each other.

Further to my previous message,

3h 0m since unplugged (95% battery)

Display 65%

Voice calls 15%

Cell standby 14%

Phone idle 7%

This is certainly far more in keeping with what I experienced in Axura 2.3 and what I believe it should be.

I have not noticed WiFi appear (I have it on and am connected to work WiFi at moment) but that may just be because nothing has utilised WiFi yet.

WiFi always seemed to be about 15% usage yesterday and this morning when I had bad battery life.

I'm going to go to Android Market in a minute, and browse for a little and download something, then exit it. Lets see if the WiFi then stays consuming power (may be a hint) or if it doesn't register up until I finish the day (may have just needed the full drain then bump charge/wipe).

Will post an update in another 1.5 hours (will then have been 4.5 hours since charged and battstats wiped)

EDIT : Gah, dumbass moment there. Just realised I didn't even have WiFi turned on. Kinda ruins my baseline testing. Have activated it, so we'll see if there is any difference.

Ha ha, Well, I screwed up and bricked my phone...:mad: (Tried everything to get into DL mode... Ordered the JIG parts... No Captivate love for me for the holidays.) Oh Well. Really like the look of the 2.5.1 Adam. Can't wait to get it on my phone!:D

Hey adam, not sure if u remember. but you had given me your GPS magic trick a lil while agao. could u refresh my memory on what app to give me acces to the SUPL server and what address i needed to change it to. something like supl.google.com without ther www. or something like that. And also how to delete the files. I tried looking but honestly i might be daft and cant find it. Thanks so much. or anyone else who has the info

I agree. There is no need for a poll. Your work stands for itself. I started on Cog 2.3b6, moved onto perception b4-7. Then I found Axura, and figured what the heck. Haven't looked back since. This is by far the best ROM ever! Smooth, great animations, great battery (When I remember to get it setup properly first), & FAST!!!

This thread is the nicest (most level-headed) one I have found. I truly wish my phone wasn't bricked right now (My own fault, not yours in the least!) so I could keep playing with it! Adam you are responsive & knowledgeable, not fake in the least!

Please keep up the great work.

Only one request. I keep telling everyone that this phone does everything but wipe my own a--. Do you think you could add that into the next build? Then it truly would be PERFECT!!!!
