This thread is all about the Time without service battery drain :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=772571&page=3, page 3 is where the air plane mode "fix" is introduced.

There doesn't seem to be a perm solution as of yet though.

forgot to paste this in ... I couldn't find ORM .. but did find DRM and some information about it as well:

(from http://blog.ericdives.com/?p=646)

Kill The DRM, Kill The Media Hub:

(As of the October “DI18″ update, there’s been a debate on how effective this is at extending your battery life; the DI18 update resolved a “sleep” issue that has extended many folks’ battery life. I’ll keep this here though for the time being, just in case.) Turns out the activation of the Media Hub has meant the death of a lot of people’s battery life. The resolution suggested so far has been:

“Home” – “Menu” – “Settings” – “Applications” – “Running services”

Scroll through the list, clicking on the black entries below any gray entry with “DRM” and “Media Hub” (after a fresh power off/power on, there should be two) and choose “Stop”.

Mind you, you’ll see a lot of other stuff running there as well, some of which you might think you don’t need (you actually do need the Google Talk service for GMail, for example). Kill that stuff at your own peril; I would suspect that most, if not all of it, is relatively harmless. It’s only DRM’s constant polling (every six seconds or so, according to one post I’ve heard) that has contributed to rapid power loss.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
No worries, I thought I was missing out on something.

DRM is another culprit, you can either disable/uninstall or block the service from starting up with your startup mgr of choice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Be careful there. I just converted the zips, I don't support recommend them. I just replaced the scripts.

Having the same radio problems with this one as Bonsai, I've tested both and can hardly send a text to save my life. I go to send it times out and fails then i get the error message did not send, yet they still recieve it. Its frustrating because I really wanted to run either of those two. Not sure if it has to do with the AIO and how it auto wipes/cleans but i can run ViperRom and Nebula just fine..
[Epic 4G Android Development] JojoSteez:
I am also having this issue and I realize it's a DK28 bug. Going into setting used to work for me on an earlier version of midNIGHT, but since 3.0 when I go into settings and toggle, it says turning on and then error. I have to reboot for it to work. Not a big deal as it reboots in just a few seconds.

Side note, is it still needed to put in airplane mode after a reboot to fix the TWS issues? I have just been doing it anyway. While it's in airplane mode, I usally go into settings and turn the stop the DRM service. It's just become habit when booting up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
So I flashed from 3.0 to 3.1 and went from Epic battery life to litterally watching it tick down a percent every minute or two. :( Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
Man fixing the gps with the mls or whatever was a pain but worked

It seemed to work fine. Battery charged and was fine. Flashed to 3.1 (settings shows 3.2 btw) and battery went south quick.

OOOOH, with Viper I take it off the charger and leave the house at 7:00AM. When I come home at 5:30PM I still have anywhere from 75-85 percent based on usage. And that is in a server room with between one and two bars of signal strength on my phone. Might want to seek out a few more tweaks :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Just out of curiosity, some people on this thread are talking about the DRM content running and draining battery life. Does anyone know what its function is and if this can be unstalled completely? I saw a post that someone said just delete or unstall it but I dont want to wreck my stuff.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:

[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
Funny I needed to use my ThinkFree (downloaded from the Market) after reading this.

It does NOT allow you to write/create. I hadn't checked until now, so the original does, the market doesn't.

Now, I need it, not in post at the beginning, so brewsbro, any way you could

post that app??

I will push the Thanks button for you!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] brewsbro:
My first upload. Hope it works?!?!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
I got it, downloaded fine, and hit the button - thank you.

I had seen this in one of the large conglomeration of files. Wasn't sure what

it was, so did not reload. It would make it more convenient if they would

just label it better for us hackers as we move around our files!!;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
Two things

MikeyLee - DRM runs with the Media Hub that is used to rent movies. This was a Samsung update the end of September. I have hesitated to delete all files they discuss just in case I might want to use something. I will never rent movies to watch on my phone, but might have a tie to something I want to use in the future. I just go into Running Applications, select and turn off, just in case. If something is in there that says Media Hub, do the same.

And as far as the ThinkFree apk that brewsbro has, I downloaded and tried to edit. Can click on box in excell, check edit, but allows no input. I will probably go to the Help forum to read, but looks like you can read, send, but not input

info into the excel sheet I was trying to use. If something useful comes up, I

will report back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
I will upload the correct file when I get home.

I'm on viper (cuz of theme and a2sd) and the only way I'll get those numbers is to not really use my phone lol. I'm getting 8 good hours with moderate/heavy use. couple phone calls, moderate texting, check pulse news for 25 minutes, browse market for new apps, and use miren browser. I'm always on wifi with 3-5 bars.

Longer the screen stays on, faster the battery drain...

midNIGHT ROM v3.2 Announcement:

My wife will be undergoing major surgery next Wednesday. As such my attention will be on other things for a week or 2 while she recovers. I wanted to get one more update out for sure prior to this happening.

midNIGHT ROM v3.2 (Build Your Own ROM Edition)

This will require 2 package downloads. One will be the Base ROM and one will be all the options. midNIGHT ROM v3.2 is based on bonsai v2.0.1. I have removed ABSOLUTELY ALL NONESSENTIAL APPS. This is a truly naked edition. You will then simply flash the options you want. I figure this will be the easiest way to please everyone as I won't have time to build and support multiple editions. You the user will now be in charge of deciding what you do and don't want on your midNIGHT ROM..

More to come soon.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Medic,

Thank you for your time and support to this ROM its truly appreciated, and best wishes to your wife, she is a strong person for what I can read and I know she will pull this off successfully.

You also have a great team of supporters that will make sure to field any questions, so go in peace!

Thanks! Outstanding work like always!

All the best to you and yours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brewsbro:
Best wishes to you and your family.

Currently lovin' v3.1. The only way to have v3.2 is to wipe everything including data? If we do not wipe, will the backup/restore part of the AIO process return the phone to the way we had it(apps and data), except with v3.2 base now? It looks like bonsai 2.0.1 is not needing a manual wipe of anything.

edit: I think I am confusing market apps with system apps. Thinking they were all and one.

im 2 pages late quoting this, but I had a similar experience with v 2.7 of midnight and some older versions of bonsai as well. i figured that since midnight is based on bonsai, the same problem persisted. but this has only ever happened twice to me (once in bonsai and once in midnight). In my case, I just restarted the phone (because I was running ubuntu on my phone and wanted to ensure the vnc server was completely dead). upon reboot, my bat which was like at 40% was around 16%.

i havent had the issue again since though in a very long time. also, my batter life with midnight 2.9 / 3.0 is excellent. I havent upgraded to 3.1/3.2 yet.

[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
your best bet if it didnt work after the 9xwipe, flashing v3.2 would be to flash v2.9 and then after the first boot go back into cwm3 and then 9xwipe, and REflash v3.2...

Thats what i had to do with v3.0 and v3.1. let me know how it worked for ya.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Heelfan71:
I didn't wipe. :eek: Just flashed over 3.1 and works fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] done12many2:
Same thing here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
These bad flashes are probably related to CW3. I have not had any issues but I know Randy_T has a few concerns about it. It will do for now so be patient and good things will come..... With that said, you could always odin back to DK28 then root with cw2.5. You can always flash from CW2.5 to get the rom up and then reroot with CW3 later.

3.2 Works Excellent for me. I had Lag issues with 3.1 and they all disappeared with 3.2. Nice job!

3.2 is working well so far, the lag issues in 3.1 are gone. I have had FC issues in the past which I fixed by going to CWM, clearing cache and dalvik, fix permissions. Try that if you guys have any FC issues.

Im having the same FC issues with about phone under settings. Is there a solution to this cuz i didnt see one. If so how? everytime i have ever odined back after v2.9 it does an endless boot loop so i dont see that as an option.

update: I forgot who posted it but just for future reference for someone haveing this problem, the FC's happen because you have to go back into cwm and start flashing the stuff you want to make the FC's stop occuring in about phone...

hope this helps somone else...

Battery life

Just wanted to update regarding the air plane mode switch on and off (after reboot) and switching to sprint only network.

I am a light to moderate user, my phone went 1d 22hrs 17min. Before the popup said, yo you be needing to charge this MFer.

In that time I did these things

10 calls (ranging from 5 - 45 min)

32 texts

couple times on FB

Weather updates every 1/2 hr

checked email few times (I don't have that setup for automatic)

market browsing 3-4 times looking at top paid and free downloads (20 min or so; it think 2-3 times)

Now the biggest battery drain is the screen, where it used to be cell stand by / time without service (settings -> about phone -> battery usage)

I charged last night; took it off charger when it reported full at 9pm. Its been just sitting and I have 82% after 12 hours.

I also charge exclusively via a USB port from my computer and no longer use an electrical outlet, I have seen my charge last longer that was as well.

So again; in settings under wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> system select -> sprint only then any after reboot. Toggle air plane mode.

Hope you find this useful
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdubz:
Ok, I can't confirm that this works because I got impatient last night and installed Bonsai. Wow is it fast.

While I understand why the author doesn't want to include many apps, Bonsai included all the standard apps that most people use which makes it ready to use out of the box.

Although I would have liked to have tried midnight, I'm going to stick with Bonsai.

Change Log:

All the bonsai fixes (except the new power down menu)

Removed Launcher Pro (Just get it off the Market)

Restored default browser

Removed Voice Search (Just flash it if you want it)

Restored My Files

Removed TW Live Wallpaper

Added Bubbles and Raindrops Live Wallpaper

Added Calendar From Fascinate Leak (Adds a few new options)

Removed Most Ringtone (Just flash the ones you want)

The Following Apps are removable:

-------------------------

Quickboot

Titanium Backup

Google Voice

You Tube

Typo Clock

Swype

Google Talk

Spare Parts

------------------------------

Notes: I realized not every one was excited about creating their own ROM. I personally like the idea of the build your own ROM but I can understand why it could be intimidating to newer users. If I do the Build Your Own ROM again perhaps I won't cut it so deep and leave more basic apps. Regardless, I wanted to make sure everyone was covered. The above Release (midNIGHT ROM v3.2 Standard Edition) is the more typical release people are used to. I hope those that didn't want to build their own will enjoy this effort. Please be aware that aside form the apps either removed or restored these releases are IDENTICAL and both based on the new bonsai v2.0.1 release. As usual please be sure to THANK mammon88 and Randy_T for all their hard work.
