Coming from RC1 to #3. I am going to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache. Do I need to wipe batter stats as well? From what I've seen, I don't think it ever made a difference whether I'm coming from Stock to RC1 or any ROM to another ROM even though I didn't wipe battery stats. Does battery stat make any difference between different ROMs?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
There is a fancy little zip that removes ADW and installs the stock launcher....I flash it everytime after flashing a new nightly. :D I have attached the file for you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Wipe data/factory reset wipes battery stats.

90% from the dialer and I haven't even been using it? why does this happen?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tackleberry:
Thanks. I'm not sure what kernel I have its whatever came with the nightly rom 2. ill post my findings in a few more charge cycles.

It does say cyano kernel. Also battery stats say my dialer used 62% of my battery???

Is there any way to replace the vertical battery for this with a horizontal numeric battery like the old ROMs?

On #3 now...can't seem to lock to google on wifi...other connections work. Any ideas?

#2 battery on stock kernel is downright amazing!!!!

I just realized it as I'm flashing pershoot's latest...with back up arg it's takingk for ever. going to flash #3 as soon as that is over.

Anyone having issues with WiFi on #2 with stock kernel? I can't seem to connect.

Do you use autobrightness?:p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Just flashed #4 just fine. Everything seems to be working. Flashed stock GB launcher over it as well.

this is what i needed to know :) im gonna flash this right now
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
That's why I post. Give people one person that's tested it lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tackleberry:
Must be the culprit. My dialer battery usage is down to 59% since I posted about it. Tomorrow should be a better battery day. I'm gonna stress the device out tomorrow and see how it goes.

Hm,seems the latest commits from 21 february not merged with new build :confused:

Allways have "linse" lockscreen instead of "lense" lockscreen style.

The new camera options and tweaks also not availabel at build #4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I'm having a problem with wifi calling with build 4 ....stuck at connecting. I've also flashed the newest radio from the other recent thread in Development so not sure what it is...could be the network too. Can someone with build 4 try their wifi calling?

Edit: a reboot fixed it....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Yep it worked good for me. Although I didn't require a reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aM-:
seems like every problem we have now, need to reboot 1st & it will fix by self. i'll stay with CM7 build #3 until stable version release.

Looking at your screenshot it seems that everything is higher res or sharper or something. I thought it was just how the shot was scaled at first but comparing it to the shot a bit further down and the icons on the bar at the top are smaller. How have you done this I like it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
either manually editingyour build prop, or downloading lcd density from market and lowering the value from 240 to anything less. I use 160-195, most use between 200 and 220

Thanks, will give this a shot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Untouchab1e:
I think you're right. I got two or three commits merged yesterday and neither of them have showed up yet, meaning incognito mode is still broken and so is the german keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,commits should be available at build 4,but they aren`t.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Ok not sure what's going on......I cannot connect to the google cloud (all gray connection icons). I was #2 when I first noticed. Since I have gone comple S-Off via gfree.zip. I have flashed a new radio out there and updated to #3 along with pershoots kernel built 2/16.

Before #3 I could connect to google with non wifi connections (I thought it was wifi issue). But now no connection turns green. I can connect to internet, and make calls, just no data sync.

I did not do a comple wipe when doing all this, just flashed on top. Should I try to reinstall gapps?

Thanks for your help!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WarBird87:
i have noticed this with #32 and now #3, that my battery stats only show Cell Standby, Phone Idle and Display... it never shows android system ever...... is that weird?

Can u use any gapps?? If FC its not installed and try acounts and syn maybe its off

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
So, will today's release (link below) of the HTC code for the Desire Z bring anything interesting to our nightlies? I don't know much about these things, but was curious! I remember way back when, before the G2 was released, marveling at the Desire Z's insane boot-up time from the deep sleep (or whatever). Will that ever be a G2/CM option?

http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-releases-new-source-code-aria-desire-z-desire-hd-and-mytouch-4g
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WarBird87:
All my battery status is showing is cell standby at 50% phone idle at 44% and display at 6%... it rarley shows browser and never shows android system...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
There's nothing to marvel at, it's Sense. There are Sense ROMs available if you'd like it back, but I highly doubt that CM is going to get much of anything Sense-related.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I remember my phone doing that on an earlier nightly. Doesn't do it on #3 now though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
Oh, oops - that's just a Sense feature? I never liked sense, so there's no way I'm interested in moving to it. I was mostly just curious if the release by HTC would bring anything new to the plate. Thanks for clarifying!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Yeah, I mean Sense has some cool features, but it's extremely bloated if you ask me. Every time I use a Sense phone, it feels sluggish (even if it's clocked 200 MHz faster than a stock G2, like the MT4G). That fast-wake feature you mentioned sounds neat if you like putting your phone into a deep sleep, but the problem is that most people don't realize that it's only sleep. It also causes most people to think that their phone actually boots up in mere seconds, which isn't the case at all. It ends up behaving more like a blackberry than an android phone, since you have to do a battery-pull just to reboot the thing.

I don't dig it :)

Im on # 1 with pershoots and am getting the best battery life ever! two days deep without plugging it in

2d 16h 30m 38s on battery ....31% left...:eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
What's your usage like? I'm considering trying pershoot's kernel to see if it improves battery life (which is good, IMO, anyway).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
sorry, still not clear whether you're using stock battery or one of those ebay 1800s?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Just flashed #4 and see how it goes. #3 was doing good for what I need...except had a phone recorded video playback issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
All this battery talk makes me chuckle. If you guys would only look at the changes between the nightlies... The effects on batttery are minimal. The commits are mostly changes in translation, mms app, etc... except maybe for the gps changes have very little potential of causing battery fluctuation (and even gps is unlikely because it not on majority of the time). The battery is more affected by usage (if you visit feature rich websites, expect drain), apps installed and how much one plays with them (words with friends drains my battery big time, I think they screwed something up. The cpu doesn't feel like its idling when you're thinking of a word), and not allowing your phone to learn your batt after flashing. Once again, you can't expect to flash every night and have good battery statistics...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
Indeed... that's why I asked earlier about aegentirony's usage who said they still had battery life left after over 2 1/2 days. In general, battery life has been consistent since I start with CM7 (maybe #18?).

And, you're right, if you're flashing every day, you won't get a good feel for how the battery will last. I almost always make sure that I don't even care about the battery life until I've at least completely charged my phone after flashing an update.

But if aegentirony is getting over 2 1/2 days of life with moderate to heavy usage with pershoot's, that's something I want to investigate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
The only thing you can control is your own trial and error. Don't go by other people's usage because there are so many variables that its impossible to duplicate. I prefer pershoot's as well but that's my opinion and may be different than someone else's. If you want to know how a particular combination performs then flash, let the battery die, wipe battery stats, charge to full, and then run it for at least 3-4 days... but of course by that time you will be 3-4 nightlies behind... :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] umaro:
I totally agree with you guys regarding everyone's battery life/usage being different, but is there any reason why we can't copy over the battery stats between nightlies to keep up with nightlies and yet not have to re-calibrate our battery with the new nightly?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
there's personal usage, then there's highly unusual performance (2-3 days without charge). I think those scenarios justify asking about specifics, such as type of battery being used.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
A few times when flashed mods and tweaked around I had to re add all of my widgets to the homescreens.. it happened to me twice or thrice a few weeks ago.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
maybe with this,someone can now port the sense camera app,that is actually decent,much much unlike google camera app which pretty much makes me wanna smash the camera glass and vomit in the pithole..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
We can only hope....

I see what you are saying...but I think that you would still get less than stellar battery life....think about it, you are loading the stats from a different configuration...I just don't see that going over well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
The battery % finally got merged!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
I'm having "clock" take up some partial wake usage and "maps" too.

I don't have an app named clock (I use clockr evo) and it has never shown up under partial wake usage so I doubt its that. I don't have maps latitude check in enabled so idk what is making maps take up partial wake usage. Any advice?

On a good note 10h low usage and on 78% I think that's pretty decent.

Sent from my gSpot2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
That battery life sounds great!

Are any of your GPS/Location services turned on? That would be why maps is using battery.

As far as the clock goes....if it says its using power, then its on your phone, so remove the stock clock app....under titanium backup for me it is called [ALARMS]Clock 2.0.2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
According to my running services its called NetworkLocationService in maps. What would I need to turn off so this service stops automatically running?

If I remove the clock app will it remove my alarm app too?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tackleberry:
i cant remember for the life of me where i saw this, but didnt this rom have a built in screen shot app? if so, what was the procedure, all i can remember is vol up was one of the buttons to press but i could be totally wrong. i also am not sure if it was even for this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
That is not part of CM. Just download ShootMe from the Market it works great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aegentirony:
My usage is generally pretty light...During the workday ill make a few calls, send a few texts...watched about 30 mins of a movie at lunch...random market browsing etc...oh and music all the way to work this morning...

Stock OEM battery that came with the g2

mostly moderate...more usage at night because im busy with work during the day..but i have been running #1 since it was released along with pershoots kernel...2/18/11 i think...

i agree...usually 2-3 days in everything becomes clear as to how it will perform...BUT i have flashed a couple nightlys and noticed battery drain right away...whether it be maps or whatever...

Stock battery full rooted g2 on Cm7 nightly #1 with pershoots 21811 kernel...

i run at no more than 900mhz and never have issues with anything.... i did have the gps issue but #1 has that solved....

Oh btw...

2d 22h 7m 53s on battery = 23%:eek::D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I believe that if you remove that clock app you will lose your alarm clock. Does the other app you use as your clock not have an alarm clock built in? If it does then what you can do to test it is download titanium backup free from the market and backup the stock clock 2.0.2 app and then remove the app from your phone with titanium backup and see what happens with your other clock app.

As far as the NetworkLocationService in maps, do you have "Use Wireless Networks" or "Use GPS Satellites"checked under Menu/Settings/Location and Security???? If so, then those would both need too be turned off so that the service stops running.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
:eek::eek: Woooooooow, now that is god like. Just curious, do you use any widgets or any extra apps that require syncing? Other than default, all I have is Fancy Widget and E-mail (assuming you sync gmail, contacts, calendar by default)....personally I always turn off the picasa sync first thing after a new flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
Thanks I managed to stop the maps service. As for the clock I guess its because I have an alarm setup and that's what's taking up the usage. I turned it off now I charge back to 100% and let it drain to see how the usage goes. Thanks for the help.

So if nightly rooms are supposed to be updated nightly, why hasn't any updates showed up for me after about a week? Now I am kinda new to this. I am looking in the rom manager for it, is that the right place?

Might be a noob question but how do I wipe battery stats if the phone is dead? Plug it back in, reboot to recovery, wipe then charge?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
You have enough juice to boot into recovery, wipe, and restart...

Hold vol down and press power then scroll down to recovery using the vol key and press power.

and to quote: "Change I18771078: Battery percentage on status bar - done right!"

ha ha .... "done right!" I noticed in the referenced screenshots that we'll also have the option to disable the clock too?? Didn't see it in the changelog, only in the screenshots. Does anyone know if that will be changed too or am I just oblivious and we can disable the clock now?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Nope, no updates or anything, but you can set "compatibility mode" to OFF (it'll help with some apps, but not all). That's the price you have to pay for higher resolution; many apps aren't built to scale with it so they simple look funky or outright broken (like the rotary lockscreen).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Nothing you can do besides emailing the developers of the said apps and tell them to code better.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] southpaw773:
this has been an issue since 2008 with the G1. SMS messages sometimes fail to send and it is not rare at all. you have to long press and tell it to resend. it would be nice to have the device try to resend as long as signal is/becomes available. nobody has really had much to say or do about this. the stock sms system/app needs some love from Google, maybe some dev tweaks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
For real. I know everyone's meaning of moderate to heavy use is subjective but that's crazy.

Whats the signal coverage like? Are you using all bands or just 2G, are you even using data?

Do you keep your phone on airplane mode? Clock speed? lol

I mean, after figuring out that Google voice was the cause of my insanely high android system usage my battery life went from roughly 9hrs to about 14.

No airplane mode, all bands for data used (crappy coverage too here in Columbia SC) Crap ton of txts a day...like around 150 or so, maybe 3 to 4 calls and web surfing off and on between classes. Stock G2 battery also.

Edit: Whoops..and that was after being on RC1 for a full charge.
