[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OlympusGod:
I am using Super Z Sense enhanced v3.1 with incredikernel installed. I've used my phone for around 10 minutes of browsing, and the rest of the time the screens been off. It's been unplugged for 3 hours 20 minutes. I unplugged it after fully charging it and now its at 68%. The display has been taking up 79% of the battery, even though the screens been off most of the time. What do I do?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
lower the display?

and every ROM displays things differently. If your battery isn't affected don't sweat it. I personally haven't run that ROM so I can't help you there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OlympusGod:
It is on miminum brightness, and my battery is greatly affected. Not using my phone I have maybe 12 hours of standby battery life.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbbrad:
I'm having the exact same problem..... backlight is turned off and my display is using 79% of the battery.... I'm in cyangenMod 6.1...

any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
I've replicated the results with a brand new battery from Verizon (after several charges, the capacity should be fine now) and both CM7 (Build 45 from Gridlock) and Uber Z RC2 and several different kernels. I think this is just the design of the phone, or I got two defective batteries in a row :mad:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andassaran:
There's an important piece of information missing here... Is your Incredible's screen the SLCD type or AMOLED type? SLCD screens don't use any more power due to what's on the screen due to the type of backlight (same light illuminates the whole screen), whereas on an AMOLED display, each pixel is its own source of light. That's why on an AMOLED display, darker themes offer better battery life as the pixels aren't having to light up as much to display the content.

Might need that info.

Another important question: 3G or wifi for most of the day?

I can get 6-8 hours out of a standard battery running on 3G with wifi disabled, but if I am on wifi I can get 18-20 hours...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbbrad:
I spend most of my time in 3g.... I'm in the nightly cm6 rom with #21 kernel now and I'm getting the 20 hours I was hoping for.... life is good.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OlympusGod:
Wifi on maybe 20% of the time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I had the same things running Z ROM's. I switched to Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, and the display is low, right now 7%, and same usage patterns. 3G all day at work (8 - 5), Wi-Fi all night until morning.

Maybe a phone call a day, maybe...emails/TweetDeck/texts/web browsing otherwise. It seems that that's the way Z ROM's on this phone run...?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andassaran:
I too have this problem on any aosp rom ive ran on it whether it be gingerbread or froyo. The display will take up a good 80 percent battery life, making my Seidio 3500mAh battery able to barely able to get through the day. However, on a sense rom the display takes maybe 5 to 7 percent and the battery will last 3 or 4 days. I was wondering if anybody managed to figure out a solution to this, as I want to run gingerbread but can't due to the battery issue.

My incredible is of the slcd type. Any solutions worth trying?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] advaitan:
having the same issue with CM7 nightly builds... display using over 70% all the time... terrible battery life. otherwise CM7 seems very stable, thanks to all those involved in making it happen, you guys rock!

any help with the battery/display issue? thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teejmiller:
Don't forget, these are percentages. Each rom/kernel combo calculates the percentages differently. Your may be getting actual better life, but the meter says 70% of the total usage because the Android System and other services aren't using nearly as much battery vs a stock kernel/stock rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andassaran:
The problem we have here though is that the battery life is greatly affected. Stock battery gets maybe 12 hours standby on a fresh install and screen mostly off. My Seidio 3500 barely makes it through a full day on any aosp rom yet lasts 4 days on a sense rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Sync

Another couple players in battery life besides display are frequency and quantity of accounts synched, as well as GPS on/off.

Not magic bullets to battery savings since Display is the resource hog in this instance, but you may (should) be able to squeeze several additional percentage points out of the battery by tweaking the synch quantity & frequency, as well as toggling GPS to off unless it's needed.

Mindblowing if the 3500 doesn't last a day on a full charge.

Absent that, I've read varying opinions on whether the xx.9 radio is a battery eater.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andassaran:
I figured out my solution. Update your radio. 2.15.00.07.28 doesn't like aosp roms, so I upgraded to 2.15.00.11.19. MUCH better on the battery life (doesn't run my Seidio 3500 dead in just one day, more like 3 now) although as a previous poster suggested, the percentages in the battery life display are just that. Percentages. The display still shows ~50% of the use, however the life has returned to normal.

Link to radio images: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/category/25-htc-incredible/

And I know some of you are wondering "How in the f&$* can the radio affect the displays power usage?" To be honest, I don't know the answer to that either. I just tried this on a hunch and it seemed to work. Full day of not exactly light use (browsing while wifi tethering, some bright sun use as a navigation device, texting all day) and no forced attempts to be frugal with power (letting the screen time out on its own instead of immediately poking the power button, accidentally left wifi on most of the day, automatic brightness with a lot of full sun use...) and I'm still over 60% after 14 hours. Your mileage may vary.

UPDATE: It's still pretty bad (running MIUI at the moment) :( I'm totally giving up and I'll save this game for my next device.
[EVO 4G General] n1ghtl1fe:
i gave up on it as well. good game but evo is considered high end in most situations and it barley runs it
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I hate to beat a dead horse but the EVO's GPU is pretty low end in the high end smartphone range. But what I really want to say is: the fact that the Desire HD (which has roughly 3-4x more power GPU wise) is considered a mid range phone makes it pretty obvious that this game is overly intensive. What's the recommended specs? Tegra 2?

[G Tablet General] muqali:
I've looked in quite a few threads, including the custom mix ROMs. What I want to know is who has knowledge of how this thing boots? I've noticed on the 2 droids I've messed with you upgrade them with an update.zip and basically an empty file on the SD card.

I'm guessing the update.zip contains a squashfs or something similar along with a kernel, but I don't know for sure. Who can explain exactly what happens on boot, what devices it looks for filesystems/loop filesystems on etc?
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
The best way to learn about this stuff is by tearing down existing .zip flashers and reading about how boot.img files are built and trying to build your own. :)

The boot process is controlled by the bootloader (the thing that displays the Viewsonic birds logo and decides whether you are trying to boot into recovery, APX mode, or a standard boot).

The ZIP files that you flash actually run a script that writes an .IMG file contents to one or more partitions.

Most ROM flashers have two images they flash - a boot.img and a system.img. The system.img is a filesystem image of the system partition. The boot.img consists of two parts - a kernel and a ramdisk image (well, and a boot header). The kernel is the Linux kernel that's been compiled to provide all the core system functionality for Android. The ramdisk image (which is a GZIPed CPIO file) contains the init.rc file that does all the initialization, mounting of the main filesystem images and so on.

Once everything is mounted and configured, the Android ROM itself boots up.

I recommend reading this page for more info:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

Hope that helps!
[G Tablet General] muqali:
That's more or less what I wanted, but for our device do you know the exact boot order? Mtd partitions then SD sd2 and maybe a USB disk? I'd really like to put a custom Roman on the sd2 and leave the rom factory.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I *think* (could be wrong) that both the externalSD (/sdcard2) and the USBDISK (/usbdisk) are mounted dynamically, via vold.

At least that's the way I understood it...

There's a thread here in this forum, about (dual) booting Ubuntu, that does something along the lines of what you're asking about...

Jim
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
rcgabriel,

When you do an nvflash (ala bekit's), does the contents of bootloader.bin end up getting stored permanently on the Gtab's internal SDcard? And, whenever the Gtab is booted, the code in that bootloader is the first code that runs, deciding, as you said, whether or not to do a recovery or execute the boot.img?

Thanks,

Jim
[G Tablet General] muqali:
Isn't the bootloader on one of the MTD partitions and not the sdcard? What I'm having the hardest time wrapping my head around is how this system boots in comparison to an x86 Debian 5.0 system.

The basic picture I have is that there is the rom/flash portion of the boot process and then the kernel and real filesystem are loaded and mounted. But using these custom roms, is it changing the flash and bootloader or just the kernel and OS? Meaning where exactly is the first thing the CPU hits to boot? Flash MTD partitions for the bootloader. Then is the kernel on the mtd partitions or on some separate partition on sdcard.

Since you can basically stick 2 files on an external uSD and send it into upgrade mode, can't you customize the filesystem contained in a zip and then stick it in and have a custom system with whatever you wanted added or removed?

Title says it all. Loving my nookie Froyo build but for some reason music mp3's that play on stock and nootered 2.1 don't work!

I get message saying sorry your player does npt support this type of audio file in stock music app

in doubletwist I get the message saying sorry the song you are trying to play doesn't exist anymore.

Do you it must have something to do with the build running off sd card? Is anyone else successfully able to play music on nookie froyo build?

I am wondering if this is my unique problem?
[Nook Color General] gemneye:
Similar (most likely related issue)

I never had a nooter'd system. I have only been using the SD version of Nookie Froyo.

Although I can play music (nookie froyo 0.6.8) by going through a file manager (ES File Explorer, Astro File Manager), selecting the song, and then choosing the music app to play the music... None of the music Apps (stock music, winamp, mixzing, etc), recognize that there is any music stored on the sdcard portion of the the Nookie Froyo SD Card.

I am unable to launch any of the music apps and play music because none of the music is apparently visible to the music apps.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fieser-Kardinal:
At first, i have some weird problems selecting Handcent as default messaging App at my Desire. (LeeDrOiD 2.3d and Stock RUU)

I have a Widget installed (SMS Unread Count) which displays my unread SMS on my Homescreen. In the Q&A of that Widget it says that if more than one messaging app is installed, it will ask me which one to use when i tap on the widget.

But that doesn't happen, it always starts the stock msg app.

Here's what i've done so far:

- Contacts -> Choose One -> Send SMS -> Set default dialog appears -> Set Handcent as default.

This works only if i'm in Contacs and select to send a SMS via Contacts App. Widget still launches stock msg app.

- Set notifications for both msg apps. As i received one, i got double notifications as intended. I selected the stock notification -> Set default dialog appears -> Set Handcent as default.

Works for Notifications, Handcent will get startet. Widget still launches stock msg app. :mad:

No i'm really confused and got no more idea what to do. As i tried another ROM without Sense (GingerVillain), all i had to do there was to tap the Widget and i was asked which msg app to start.

But that doesn't work on Sense ... please help me, this is really frustrating. :eek:
