Yes I have used every radio for the g2! I will try to manually delete it, redownload, and efs wipe! I don't believe anything is wrong with the app tho cause I have ran every rom we have on the forum for at least a day and never had this problem...ever...not even once.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Never really looked.. so i am showing it was awake all the time.. literally 100%.. what could it be? How can i figure out whats keeping it awake? Under partial wake i show facebook is a big one

Edit: Attached a screen shot..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Yep, you've got wakelock. Are you overclocking? Using the screen on/off animations? The combination causes wakelock sometimes. You can try getting rid of unnecessary apps and seeing which is causing it, or doing a full wipe and reinstall to see if it was a bad flash. It could literally be any multitude or combination of things, or it could simply be a bad app keeping the phone awake.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] qpop:
I strongly suspect that is app related.

In spare parts see what is keeping your phone awake.

I'd recommed doing a Titanium Backup (dont forget to backup SMS with SMS backup and restore) then use Guhls G2 Superwipe, re-flash latest nightly, and run stock for a day or three without any user apps. I can almost guarantee your battery life will be fine. Then the process is just re-adding apps through titanium until your battery starts getting hammered.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
I still see this issue as well, i always back out and re open and it works, but yea im on a fresh superwipe and efs wipe and it still does it. Cant explain it, rather annoying at highway speeds in rush hour lol!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Sweet merciful jesus batman! Def wakelock , whats your top batt consumer??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Thanks for the replies guys.. Its not going to be too hard to figure out what app is causing the wake lock since its my wifes phone she doesn't really have very many apps.. Just wish i would have thought about looking there 3 weeks ago..:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
So I did all that last night. I'm out driving to figured I would test it. Still loses gps every five minutes or less and an app restart the only thing that fixes it :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PJcastaldo:
It was either Facebook app that was glitching and keeping the phone awake it was the top of the list but i deleted it and re installed it and now its not even on the list... or the pregnancy app which i deleted because it never seemed to close.. (FYI my wife's phone) Either way its much better now..

screen shot attached at 72% battery.. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
Still having the issue with my phone going into stupid mode after being in sleep mode for a while on wifi. When you call my number it just rings and rings. Will not even go to voicemail. Can't receive texts either. Only way to get it to snap out of it is to turn wifi on and off.

Not sure if this is a wifi calling issue, kernel issue, or just an issue with my router. Wife's blackberry is flawless on wifi.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flotion:
Sounds like a kernel issue, not sure about the missed texts. Try a wipe
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
That looks better!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Alot of cool commits updates in this last nightly. My G2 seems like it was before, like TOTALLY AWESOME.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I think my favorite would have to be this one: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6621

Now I can set my screen animations to fast and still have the cool CRT screen-off animation work :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
In the latest nightly the vibration on a keypress happens upon contact instead of after u lift finger. BUT THE BEST is that u can now finally got into spare parts and change the animations to FAST WITHOUT breaking the screen on/off animations. That's a huge deal to me cause now that all the transitions are fast the phone feels twicw as fast! Yayaya!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
Notice the break where I have no wifi or no cell service.... this is during sleep. I am assuming this is why I am not receiving calls and texts. Just not sure why this is happening. Anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
What's your WiFi sleep mode set to?

And what's that little picture of the android in the top left of your screen for?

Also, and this is a total longshot, but could it have something to do with the DHCP on your router or phone? Maybe the phone is losing connection and when it tries to regain connection the router denies it or something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
Wow, this latest for the RGBA8888 recovery graphics commit is horrible!

Reducing the graphics buffer flipping from mostly hardware-accelerated GPU graphics to cpu-based graphics where they're CPU converting 16-bit to 32-bit graphics for each pixel while the full-facilities for OpenGL-accelerated (shader) conversion (or graphics driver conversion) is available.

Translation, recovery graphics now slower, takes more memory, and takes more battery for unnoticeable increase in color range.

Was this really necessary?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
No changes to the DHCP on the phone, but I will check the router at home. Sleep profile is set to never.

The little android is Simple Sound Profile Widget. I am a former blackberry user and that is the closest thing to sound profiles as they are on blackberry. It never even registers on battery usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
That's not good! Now why would they do something like that?!?!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
It is a conspiracy! Ok, no... but any idea why 134 has no changelog? Does the bot build without any new changes?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Yes, it will build without any new changes
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Dude really??? Take a look at the time of the readings....@10:46 both speeds were @ 3.something, while after 11 they were @ 6.6 and 6.4....those are not huge differences. The reason for the 3mb/s difference is probably network traffic.

You should see slower networks basically from 5 to 11 pm due to heavy usage.

Btw at best I get 4.x, but most of the time I only get 2.3 download....so. your bad speed of 3 i'd take anytime....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
My MMS is dead. I can send, but not receive. I've restored stock and it worked. So I copied the APN. It just doesn't work with CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
I still don't even understand your translation lol. I would like to know why they would make a commit that made things worse from every angle. I doubt that happened. Were probably just not seeing the good side of it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nooge9:
Is your phone number set?

Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My phone number

I had the same problem as you (I am also on Bell). For a while, my MMS wasn't working. Magically at some point, it just magically started working...I *think* it's cause my number wasn't set before, but I could be wrong. If this doesn't help, then I'll dig around my phone more for you. I can confirm though: MMS works on Bell Canada with CM7.

My voicemail notifications still don't work though :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I set the number and it still does not work =(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
Finally went back to n125 and my battery life is back. This was with heavy use this morning and moderate the rest of the day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
I've been on 129 and my battery life is significantly worse than my earlier one, I think it was around 123 or so. I'm using Battery Monitor Widget and while normally my battery drain is ~35-40 mA, the past few days using 129 the drain is more like 90-100 mA.

I tried using OS Monitor to see if any processes were contributing to high CPU load, but none really stood out.

I can't tell if the problem is necessarily from the nightly or from some app that was updated around the same time... can anyone provide more feedback in regards to battery life with recent nightlies?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
WOW. I unfroze the stock messaging app and mms works again with handcent and go sms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
only feedback I can provide is that I agree! I have been noticing much shorter battery life for the past several nightlies. I have also been reading more and more people reporting the same. I haven't found a solution myself, am thinking about tracing back to a nightly where batt. life was good for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] david279:
They're adding bluetooth pan tethering soon. Any advantages over wifi tethering?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
Only thing I can think of is battery life
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
I remember the old days with the G1, it was used to keep the phone from heating up. But that was when we used the wireless tether for root users app, before we had native tethering. With wifi tethering the phone would cook! But, like the poster above me mentioned, it uses less battery, but you'll get a lower bandwidth. Unless that's changed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Odd, I rebooted my phone because GPS was plugging away for *way* too long (according to the notification bar icon) despite killing everything that might have been using it and despite the battery percentage being at 88 when it powered off it showed as 99 when it came back on.

Any ideas on where to look or what would cause that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
Anyone is getting random shutoff? my phone just randomly shuts down for no reason :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Mine doesnt shutdown but if i try to power it off it wont stay off, just restarts....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
That should not be happening. What nightly are you on? If you are on the latest you probably need to format system and data before you get your power off working properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
Do you have the google music beta player installed? I installed it cuz i got invited but the player made my phone shutdown after locking it twice in ten minutes. I uninstalled it and havent had the problem since. on nightly 133 btw
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
no i have not installed any new app since #129 :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
Hmmm not sure then. I have not had any other random shutdown or reboots on any 7.1 nightlies
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Stop whining about it and get a new phone. You are the only person I've read about who has this issue, and I'm beginning to suspect it's operator related or it's your hardware. Cyanogen and company can't fix a problem that invariably doesn't exist, especially since rather than providing logs and being useful you've chosen to just latch on to this issue. We are aware you like being the pariah, we're aware you don't like cyanogen roms, but does it ever stand out in your mind that a lot of your posts with what you believe to be bugs are only experienced singularly by yourself?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csolanol:
I have the same issue. Look at this thread. I am testing the workaround posted in t-mobile forum that is linked there. Hope it helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
I guess I spoke too soon about my battery woes with recent nightlies. I have rebooted without wiping anything, rebooted and wiped cache and dalvik, both didn't decrease my battery drain. It was still around 80-120 mA battery draw. But after last night's charge from ~3% battery left, today I'm seeing my usual 36-37 mA current usage :) Odd
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Have you tried using the app GPS Status to reset A-GPS data?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Why don't you do me and you both and just block me cause I'm sick of hearing your mouth everytime I have an issue.

MOD EDIT - Foul language removed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Can I remind all that if you have nothing constructive to say, best to say nothing at all

@amazinglarry - your post above is not the sort we want on XDA. Everyone has the right to post an issue whether you like it or not

@xsteven - if you find a post offensive, REPORT IT. Do not respond to it and break form rules with offensive language.

You are both lucky I'm in a leniant mood

Now back on topic

To have the screen display more color range so there's less color-banding on graphics.

Not sure why Recovery mode was so important for this (going by all the other matching commits that refer to 32-bit recovery mode). Even if this is a minor feature, the implementation is lacking. Doesn't use NEON (ARM's multimedia instructions), doesn't use GLES, ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
133 has been stable fast and has good battery life!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Hes not the only one, read 3 paages back. Give him a break man. The google navigation losing gps signal once then working fine is completly reproducable and only does it on cm7 for some reason. Myself and two other friends locally see the same results on all 3 of our DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Thank you smoke. Its weird cause some people never have the problem, and other people like me have superwiped/installed other roms and came back etc., and it still happens! It does not happen on ANY other rom in my case. So its definitely not the hardware. If I superwipe plus efs wipe and install CM (ANY of the 7.x) series, it happens as soon as it boots up. I make sure I have tried on clean installs to make sure it was not another app or a system setting change causing the issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarthaFokker:
I've also had this same problem on both of my desire z's. Google navigation just loses gps signal after 3-4 minutes. I've googled this problem and it seems to affect people on phones other than the DZ/G2 and not just cm7 either.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arzkkr:
Same issue. Works fine if I disable and reenable gps once.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
This only happens to me using Google Navigation. I have other GPS apps and this doesn't seem to happen with them. There is an area on the highway near my house that is a switching point between Edge and HSPA networks. It is in this same area that I experience the "GPS signal lost" message. I'm wondering If there is something related to the switching from one network to the other that is affecting the GPS data loss since Google requires a data connection for the Navigation app. If someone else that is experiencing the GPS signal loss could verify that it happens to them at about the same time and/or place that Edge/HSPA is switching it might help to figure this out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] real187:
been doing this too since RC4.

its the only workaround that i found, that realy works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
Would also like to confirm I am having GPS Problems. Wired thing is sometimes its perfect & others its, well annoying & losing signal every 3 - 4 mins.

I no longer have the Stock Radio though & when i get some free time I plan to go back to the stock radio & see if this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
I just figured out my battery drainage observations. Normally being connected to my home's wifi with Wifi Calling app enabled gives me 35-40 mA battery drainage. But recently this is more like 80-120 mA drainage. Earlier when I reported battery drainage was "back to normal," I was at work and not connected to Wifi, and hence not using Wifi Calling. I just tried leaving Wifi on, but with the Wifi Calling app disabled, still 80-120 mA drainage, so it's not the Wifi Calling app.

In conclusion, on recent nightlies, wifi in general is using more power than before, at least on my device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I've noticed a shorter daily battery life with the latest nightly. I installed a little program called "WatchDog" with its widget showing me my CPU usage. I've noticed back on nightly #125 I would have over 90% CPU idle, when today it wouldnt even get over 86% CPU idle. This (to me) transulates into better battery life from a high CPU idle percentage. Something is eating up CPU cycles in these latest nightlies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Are you using Wifi regularly? If you are, do you always have Wifi Calling enabled?

Also, for observing CPU usage you should try OS Monitor. It's just like Window's task manager, showing every process and the CPU load it is currently using in real time. For example, Wi-Fi Calling is always using about 6-7% load for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I very rarely use WiFi, I try to keep things consistent. I freeze WiFi Calling through TB (titaniumbackup).

What I normally do is use an app called "active apps" I know the developer (not personally) through XDA and it pretty much does what OS Monitor does which also lists the running background apps. I freeze the ones I do not use.

But, its very clear to me that the latest nightlies are using more juice.

What I'll do on the next nightly upgrade is do a superwipe and clear all data, and see what my outcome would be in CPU usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
I ocassionally have that issue but chalked it up to the icon being stuck. I can usually tell a temp difference when gps is really running.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g1doobie:
xda mods are nazis
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Yep same here as far as gps working perfectly with other apps. Only happen on CM and only happens with navigation. VERY specific bug. I haven't tested since reading this post but from memory it seemed very random, no network switching. Sometimes I would start navigation and be in traffic and move 25 feet in five minutes and it would lose it.

Funny how since about 5 people have came out with this problem a certain someone has went back into his cave. Supposedly I was the only one and just love the attention.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
I see your point, but if it wasnt for such a proactive approach just imagine how much flaming and non sense would ensue. Out of all the forums i frequent xda is definetly one of the best policed. And trust me i aint brown nosing, im sure most of u can agree this place is pretty easy going.

On topic im going to superwipe and freshly install 134, since the nightly that introduced the screenshot menu i cannot power down my dz it just reboots. So ill try a wipe and see what my results are.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Dont sweat it dude, i seen your post and the reply. I had to speak up. and its an issue i thought was only on my device lol. Would be nice to find out if were all dz users or g2's or a mix, the more i see issues the more im thinking there are very slight deferences between the two devices. I might be totally wrong but im starting to wonder.

What the hell keeps causing random apps to start linking to my keyboard?? (Ex: Contacts will open when I hit C)

This happens a few times a week and requires a reboot to fix. It's fu**ing infuriatingly frustrating
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Hit the magnifying glass on your keyboard to toggle that on or off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I'll try that next time it happens. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Ok after a superwipe it still wont power off and stay off, keeps restarting. Gonna wipe again and try it with restoring any apps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Ok im at a loss, tried two wipes, all stock nightly 136 and will not power down and stay off. Check battery and terminals all looks clean and fine. Reflashed current bell radio...no change..

Any ideas guys? I need to be able to power down as i work in and emi sensitive location.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Still not working in 136. Even more, pressing the camera button doesn't open the camera app anymore :(

Edit: camera button does indeed open camera app still. I don't know if it was because I went in to CM settings > Input > unchecked and rechecked Camera button music control

Edit2: autofocus does work. At first I had to choose autofocus, close and reopen camera. But not anymore. I guess I'm just a scrub who can't get things to work right the first time =/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
I will also add that i pulled the battery and cleaned the usb plug with contact cleaner. I dont know what to try next..

One thing i did notice, when it boots up on the htc logo normally i used to get two vibes..a long followed by a quick short. Now it only does the long...no short. Anyone have any clue what those vibes mean? Also if i flash a radio it vibes twice when it reboots, but then only once after i reboot from the os.

Suggestions?

Edit: forgot to mention i flashed miui to try a different rom. Same issue. Anyone think a sense rom is worth a shot? :(

Edit 2: can you guys humour me and power down and confirm it stays off!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Solutor:
Hi.

Just tried the CM7 after long time.

And has the same hideous behavior when teetering connections:

The mac address is changed randomly whenever the tetherig is activated (both USB and WIFI), this doesn't affect too much the XP or linux clients, but triggers the windows firewall whenever the connection is established in Win7 (and I presume in win vista), and the public/home/work wizard is launched every time.

All this doesn't happen with the sense's wifi hot spot.

Seem incredible that this little thing is still not fixed.

Anyone has a workaround ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
Which superwipe did you use? Regular or plus version?

Mine stays off. OsiMood MIUI and on non rooted stock.

Also, when was the last time you flashed a radio?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
I used superwipe g2+, flashed two different radios last night hoping to fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shuka325:
Did you use any sort of battery calibration? I had that same issue a week or so ago after using a calibration tool. I wipes and changed everything i could think of and the problem persisted. Then in CMW i wiped battery stats and charged the battery full and havent had the issue since. Think it had to reset the stats or something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
