Battery life sucks

Battery life is in the toilet for me. My N1 was fully charged as of about noon yesterday. Not really doing anything on the phone and it ran itself all the way down and turned off some time while I was asleep. Alarm didn't go off and I woke up about 45 minutes late :-(

On FRG83 I could go at least 24 hours without a charge.
[Nexus One General] inlogan:
Yeah it seems to be a Handcent issue. Gmail still glows white for an email and Trillian is glowing orange when I get an IM, but Handcent isn't making it glow any color anymore.

I submitted a bug report on the Handcent forum. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
Mine always opens the call log, regardless of what was last open.

[Nexus One General] pclewis:
To get Phone to open last usage, you have to do something in the section. Dial some number and it will then open next time to the dial pad. If you just close it, it will return to the last open action - contacts or something.
[Nexus One General] Rrrracer:
Anyone noticed anything in terms of hardware graphics acceleration? I saw someone posted earlier that XDA in the stock browser was still choppy.

Not all benchmark apps have been updated for GB
[Nexus One General] juggaknot77:
I mentioned earlier in this thread that my trackball notification wasn't working, well 12hrs later it's back to normal.

Other bugs though I found is that ADW EX is not working correctly.

When I try to make any changes in the ADW setting I either get a black screen, the settings menu freezes or It just wont let me change anything.

Hopefully this is a just a compatibility issue and the developer does a update to correct this.

Also I noticed that Launcher Pro has a bug too.

The 3d app drawer is very choppy, almost unusable.

Is anyone else out there having issues with these 2 launchers?
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Some of my album arts don't show anymore. I read that somewhere that Gingerbread made some changes to the way the pictures are displayed. Any ideas?

Nvm. I think I made a mistake somewhere.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
It's smoother than the CM nightlies, that much I can tell you.
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
Actually, you're wrong.

Romain guy just tweeted this:

I just tried with a couple of apps.

Internal usage of Adobe Reader went from 3.x MB to 140kb!!!

Pocket Legends, my largest app, went from 10.x MB to 70kb!!!!

DUDE, THIS IS AWESOME! I'm looking at saving ~100MB of internal space here!!!

Apparently they redesigned the Move2SD API, and dramatically reduced the app code you need to keep in the internal memory.

Kudos to Google for this. :-)

I'll probably gonna stick to my N1 for another whole year.

EDITED: most other apps didn't reduce so drastically. Angry Birds now takes 280kb, Talking Tom takes 1.x MB, Skype takes ~800KB.

Still, I'm with 60+MB of free space, compared to 20ish pre-GB.
[Nexus One General] Big Smooth:
I am using ADW free and I haven't had any major issues. It does seem just slightly slower than usual, especially when running a live wallpaper. Also, I got a FC yesterday, which I almost never had with Froyo. I don't have any problems changing the settings, though.

Several people have complained about LP's 3D drawer. It seems like a fix is needed there.
[Nexus One General] Big Smooth:
Great tip. It didn't affect most of my apps, but I will take any savings I can get.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
The moving apps back and forth doesn't work for everything, but it did get Flash down to 60kb from 7.3mb!
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
That doesn't make what I said wrong, it is separate consideration and it is in fact still correct. That said it is nice that they were able to save a little more space from apps on SD, although for me it made very little difference. Most of my apps were the same, angry birds saved the most and a couple of my apps I tried to do this with lost the app2sd permission at some point, so I actually lost some space by moving them to my phone and not being able to move them back. So for me it worked out to no real difference.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Are you talking about Adobe Flash? I can't move this app to SD at all.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
You only need to delete the shell script that does the actual checking and replacing, no need to delete that file too.
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
True (at least part of it).

But even though you can't see in the drawer, Amazon MP3, Voice & Books still show up in the "All" apps list from the "Manage Applications" Settings menu. I.e. they didn't really save space with those.

As for maps, you're right. It reduced from ~10MB to ~3.5MB.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Oh god, so awesome! Gingerbread just keeps getting better!!!

Also saw big savings with NESoid, SNESoid, Rockplayer, Opera Mini, ShootMe...
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
Me neither.

And also Adobe Flash Player has like 10MB.

Though checking the coments, it apparently does move to SD:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer

How do I do that?!?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I am indeed. If you have root, fire up a terminal and type su, followed by "pm setInstallLocation 2" and try again.
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
Oh ok, you need to be rooted.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Download "ModInstallLocation" from the market.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
No, you can do it via adb shell as well without the su command :)
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
That is what I said originally, Amazon MP3, Books, Twitter, and Market are taking up space that they would not have needed to had the update included the most recent versions. I never said those were examples of apps that we saved space from.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
very cool new thing then! I just moved and re-moved most games and saved like 80% space on each ... Angry Birds (both versions) and MiniSquadron/MiniArmy ... great !

Unfortunately I moved Flash to my phone before remembering I had used Titanium to move it to SD .......... Titanium = no more root access gah!!
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
I tried, but it still requires root. Thanks, though.
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
That's using the debug mode thru the USB cable?

I've read about never tried, though.

Now I have a reason to. :)
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
Not sure about the rest of you, but I'm getting some seriously incredible battery life :) . (coming from CM 6.1.1 stock kernel)
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Is this a new Gingerbread feature??
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
Not really, it was available on Froyo already:

http://www.webkitchen.be/2010/10/06/android-move-your-apps-to-sd/
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Thanks for the instructions. So I don't get to choose which app I want to move and which app I don't want to move to SD?

Just curious, what's the advantage of having more internal storage in the phone? Does it make the phone run faster?
[Nexus One General] albundy2010:
If you're rooted you will be able to move stuff like flash to SD. You can install one of the move2sd apps for root and be able to move just about everything to SD.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
new App2Sd api works for:

Angry Birds

Angry Birds Seasons

MiniSquadron

Fruit Ninja

Adobe Reader
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I think I am too... I have had my phone plugged in a few times today doing other stuff, but my battery seems to be kicking serious as at this point.
[Nexus One General] sdmackie:
First 24hrs

In 24 hrs I have found:

-One Hard Restart (reading pure messanger on desktop)

-No Lock no longer wakes up using trackball (huge bummer-may need to root if no update for this app) As a fix, I am using widget locker, and can only wake phone with volume controls.

-I find my wifi at home is constantly dropping, which never happened with froyo. So some wifi connection problems at this time :-(

-Using adw launcher ex, which is still crashing a couple (4) times a day, on average

-Overall faster ui, looks sharp too!

-had been using keyboard before and am using it on horizontal

-Had to flash newer bootloader to upgrade manually

Nexus One (unrooted)

Fido Wireless
[Nexus One General] deenn:
In the keyboard, holding '.' And sliding over to the symbols still works, but i can't see the pop up :p

So i am not able to see to which character i am sliding :(
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
I think that command sets the default installation locale to SD.

If you want, I suppose you can later move the app back to the phone.

Well, any app that's moved to SD still require at least some KBs of internal storage in order to run. So, the more space you have, the more apps you can install. :-)

I've also had some issues when having less than 20MB of free space. Not to mention the annoying "you're running out of space" notification, in several cases I had received a SMS which could not be saved due to lack of space.
[Nexus One General] Bohemus:
Loving the update, no problems so far. Smooth and fast, definite improvement over Froyo. Looks great, obsessed with the screen off animation, kinda wish it would do the same animation when turning the screen back on. Feels like having a whole new phone.
[Nexus One General] DarsVaeda:
After a really complicated update procedure from a german Vodafone with still Froyo 2.2.1 I finally got it.

Started from scratch, had to wipe all data. But was worth it.

Everything is much smoother now.

Also the UI looks more polished.

Only glitch I had so far was that in the unlock pattern screen the track did not show up even thou I could unlock with the pattern.

Had to restart than the track appeared again.

No further problems until.
[Nexus One General] Rod3:
Not sure about stock, but I know you can enable the screen-on animation with CM7.
[Nexus One General] Bohemus:
Haven't seen the setting for it anywhere in stock. Probably will flash CM7 soon to test it out. On another note, does anyone know if 2.3.3 still has the MMS bug in the native messaging app where pictures aren't automatically resized, and therefore people on other carriers cant receive MMS messages sent from the native app on Nexus One?
[Nexus One General] samagon:
Moved apps from SD to phone and back to SD, got 20 extra MB.

Some didn't drop in size, probably have to be optimized by the developers to take advantage of it. Which will get annoying when I update apps and have to make that part of the ritual ..
[Nexus One General] enisoc:
It works almost as well, but one advantage of the double-tap was that after you corrected the word, it automatically take you back to the end of the text entry field.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
space-saving indeed. a win for GB

but root... cmonnnn root! I want easy rooting!!
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
I got a strange bug. Many of my previous movies I shot with the nexus one are showed with wrong orientation! The videos are all rotated by 90 degrees, so I cannot watch them properly. Any idea how I can fix this?
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
I tried this and was able to move Flash to SD.

Thanks! :)

The only other large app without move2sd in my N1 is Swype, so I tried to move it to SD too but it crashed. I removed and tried to reinstall but it wouldn't install. So I set Install Location back to '0', and it was installed succesfully.

I'll leave the install location to '0' (i.e. 'auto') for now, and set it to '2' on a demand basis.

BR,

Henrique.

PS: is Flash in SD 100% functional? I mean, it won't crash because of that? I tried to open a flash-enabled site and it is apparently ok, but I just wanted to double check.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
fastbook oem unlock

Wow, that was hard.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I've had Flash moved to my SD since the day it came out and have never had a problem with it :)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
As have I, it's fine there.
[Nexus One General] SHADOW-XIII:
After upgrading N1 to GRI40 I cannot see GMail on the market anymore but it was listed in "My Apps" in Market app.

I had 2.3.4, decided to "Uninstall updates" that rolled it back to 2.3.3 - while it removed it from My Apss market page I still do not see any GMail version on the market ...
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Thanks for that! I tried it and I got about 5 mb extra! Everybody should do this once in a while.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
Because everyone knows exacccccctly what that means???
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Any applications installed post Gingerbread will automatically have the extra app data moved to SD. This should include updated apps so there's no reason to move apps to phone and back after future updates.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
If anyone is interested they'll c&p it into a search box somewhere.
[Nexus One General] Brownbay:
Apparently, this is an issue with the Gmail app in the market. Google has pulled Gmail from the market and reports say that they should release a fixed version soon.

[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
I've not had any problems with the new Gmail, so I'll not roll back unless I encounter something

Also, I've noticed Android OS is using a larger proportion of my battery than it used to on 2.3.3
[Nexus One General] samagon:
Good to know, thanks!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Bloody hell, Firefox takes up 88kb (before data) with this new system. Awesome!

[Nexus One General] josbackus:
Trackball notification LED stopped working

After the Gingerbread update on my Nexus One I noticed that the trackball LED no longer works. E.g. the LED no longer flashes when new mail arrives, unlike before the upgrade. To test the LED I installed a LED Tester app from Market, and I can't get the LED to turn on at all.

Is anybody else seeing this? What could be wrong? Is this a bug? :confused:
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
bah this is silly, there's like 50 different instructions on unlocking the bootloader... none seem to work all of a sudden.

I'm unrooted and cranky!
[Nexus One General] Smoje:
Problems I see at first sight:

- Battery power don't charge until 100%, keeps until 99% (works well in 2.2.2)

- Car Home option is gone
[Nexus One General] Big Smooth:
Are you using 3rd party apps to control the LED notifications at all?

I am using the Gmail Notifier app for my mail notifications and when I attempt to "test" the LED notification it does not work; however when I actually get an email, it does work. My Google Voice and other LED notifications are also working fine.

I believe other people have had some problems with Handcent and other 3rd party apps not handling the LED correctly. I would turn any of those off if you are using them and see if the stock notifications give you any LED lights.
[Nexus One General] mindfrost82:
So are most of you guys using the ext3 Apps2SD and Cache2SD still, or are you just using the native Apps2SD and keeping your whole card FAT32?
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Gmail has been pulled from the market right now due to some nasty bugs. It isn't showing up for anyone. You'll have to wait until the fix it and release it again.

edit: I stand corrected. It is back, now version 2.3.4.1
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Native. I'm not using that other crap that people are constantly having problems with. Native works great and has never messed up for me, and now with this new file moving technique GB is doing, I should be pretty well satisfied for a long time :)
[Nexus One General] Smoje:
It's amazing how works move to SD to gain more space!!!! From 20 MB now I have almost 60 MB!

Car Home works from app list, but not from direct access from the desktop :)
[Nexus One General] Poolmunch:
Moving to phone and back took me from 20mb free to 80mb+

Anyone having issues with 3D drawer on launcherpro since upgrading?
[Nexus One General] Smoje:
Two more things:

- Usb debugger icon don't disappear if you uncheck the option

- Battery level is now 94% with USB connected and it's not charging (on the screen appears already charged) but indicator don't grow... :confused:
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
My debugging icon is the same. As for the battery, it'll start charging again at 89%. It's normal, and been that way since 2.2. It's to prevent overcharging.
[Nexus One General] k_myk:
Little off topic: Is it just me or fresh install of Android OS seems to run more smoothly after couple of reboots? :>

As for GRI40: First of all It's good to have working wifi on stock rom:) I love it, but I think stock 2.2.x was little bit more smooth... I could be wrong or could fcuk up something during flashing updates from good old frg33 (passimg)... Hm... Could I?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
There is only one method, fastboot oem unlock

Google for the fastboot .exe and drivers, and you're away. Takes 5 seconds to do.
[Nexus One General] josbackus:
Thanks for responding!

I'm not using anything to control the trackball notification LED. Mine is a stock unrooted N1.

It appears the LED is dead, as far as I can tell. Except the LED dying right after the upgrade is too much of a coincidence for me. It's simply more likely a software-related bug.
[Nexus One General] yunlin12:
My N1 always did this in charging. Even if it's plugged, it won't charge until it drops below certain level. I've seen it not charge even at 91%. I think it's a safety measure to not do too many charge/discharge cycle on the battery.
[Nexus One General] juggaknot77:
I stated earlier in this thread that my trackball notification stopped working after updating to GB and my ADW EX had serious issues when trying to change any of it's settings.

Well now both are working again perfectly, I guess you gotta give the update some time to get everything working correctly and I've booted several times already today, I guess that seems to have helped.

Also the battery life after updating is phenomenal.
[Nexus One General] Phone_Junkie:
So far my absolute favorite feature is being able to pinpoint exactly where I want the cursor. I always looked at the lack of this feature as a flaw in Froyo.

The animations are pimp too.

This has been answered a thousand times before, it is a bug in ClockWorkMod Recovery, so if you have ClockWorkMod Recovery which you do and so do all of us, anyone with a rooted Htc Vision has this issue, not really a big issue, and dont know if it will ever get fixed. Has something to do with HTC not having to release the code for there recovery, since its proprietary.

This is a known issue with ClockworkMod Recovery (do a search---this has been asked many times, including a new post just yesterday). You can find more info in the actual ClockworkMod thread, but in short, "the G2 boots into 'recovery' when powered off and charging to show you the charge icon. It's a special mode. This will probably never be fixed, because HTC's recovery code is not open source, so I would not know how to fix it." (Quoted from Koush, who developed ClockworkMod.)

If you don't want this to happen, you will need to go back to the stock recovery.
