How can you expect a serious battery reply on a rom that exists only several hours?

If you really want to know battery lifespan you should flash rom, clear battery stats and use it a few days.

Me? when I am in a flash frenzy I change roms every day or two and I don't expect anything from battery. Heck, I don't even bother with calibration.

When I am not rom hungry anymore, and have time to calibrate the battery and get decent stats, I usually find out there aint much difference between builds...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Ok cool thanks so much about to flash October 30 Gigglebread now
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaibar:
Don't forget to look for all the goodies- most of them are hiding in settings/cyanogenmod.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Ok cool I will and I am on it now like how I can still be on the phone and net not sure that worked with the last nightly I had I wanted to ask you does leaving all animations on drain battery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jgro1976:
I've had nothing but trouble with the nightlies since October 9th. The volume toggle on the pull down bar doesn't switch between all options, ADW seems really slow/laggy, etc. So for now I'm sticking with an early version. I even tried wiping/flashing, still had issues.

Is this "gigglebread" worth it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TmobileDash12:
Have you tried a complete wipe?

Fastboot erase system -w

Format data/system/cache

Wipe dalvik

Format SD card?

Then let it boot and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then reboot and let it sit again?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Gigglebread is cool just don't like the battery its super smooth tho and you can use launcher pro its makes the ui more faster and stable then the adw
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jgro1976:
I did try a complete wipe, yeah. I didn't format my SD, as I don't think that's the issue since I went back to an earlier build and it's working fine. And I don't have ADB set up at work (where I do most of my tinkering) so am unable to do a fastboot, unless it's possible to do that from within recovery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] raheelk:
Keep in mind if you do a fastboot erase system -w, you'll need to install recovery via:

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TmobileDash12:
Uhh, I'm pretty sure a fastboot wipe wouldn't wipe his recovery image...

So I don't think that's necessary.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Wrong. Recovery is on a different partition. Fastboot wipe does not affect recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] raheelk:
Oops, my bad. Nevermind then.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jgro1976:
I have another question...and it never used to do this before, but I have multiple gmail accounts, in the past it defaulted to the correct one in the market, but now it keeps defaulting to a different one, and I've purchased a couple apps under that one by mistake. Is there a way to set it to one account and not have it revert back to another? I don't want the market to use any of my other gmail accounts but my primary.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
This happens to me too and it drives me nuts.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rk0:
Grab the new market. Fixed the issue for me
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Already using the newest market. I think...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Is the new market in the 240 nightly it seems to have google apps installed already in it without having to flash the zip in recovery

Not sure if this is new standard first time flashing 240 nightly threw rom toolbox in past all flashes was three recovery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] esincho:
If u don't do a full wipe u don't have to install gapps every nightly u know
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Even if you do a full wipe you don't need to reinstall gapps because they're still on /system.

Only if you wipe and are coming from a non-aosp rom do you need to reflash gapps.

Or if you did a fastboot wipe.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Thanks you to but I did a rom toolbox flash from miui installed 240 nightly from my sd card could only select one file and it did everything and it booted up into google account set up without me flashing google apps not sure if miui is aosp or not
[myTouch 4G Android Development] laggo:
miui is aosp based
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
O idk that do you know what a vanilla rom is I been searching online can't fine and start up answer on other forms
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Vanilla is aosp. MIUI is based on cm.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Thanks just to be clear sense and miui is not vanilla? Or is it anything cm and aosp based is vanilla
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Sense or touchwiz or motoblur are not aosp/vanilla. Cm is and MIUI is based on cm.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Thanks so much I understand now wow so most of bloat ware and battery drainage is caused by the carriers not keeping the rom in a vanilla state such as aosp or other cm based roms they completely redo the rom and put there spin on it wow thanks alot
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Yeah that's exactly it. Sense roms are about 300mb or more while aosp roms are about 100mb.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Yup and you really feel that 200+ mb plus lol like actually gaining weight lol I like the light weight ones I am loving nightlies battery life is great even when I had my cliq dext it was wonderful as well

I like miui look but can't keep it long term idk its a great rom but something about nightlies that I love
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I bought my glacier right after it came out and it took awhile before cm was available. Totally worth the wait.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Yeah your right I just got mine recently and I came from a cliq dext I forgot to look up the rooting for the phone before buying it I had to downgrade than root I guess everything happens for a reason I respect the people who put up the command line roots because cliq was a one click z4root app

Glad I learned something first flash I think was a stable cm
[myTouch 4G Android Development] infraled:
I've had the exact same issues that you have described and it feels like the nightlies are getting progressively worse. I tried doing a full wipe a couple weeks so but the problems persisted. Now i'm having a problem with the wifi cutting in and out so i'm about to do another full wipe with the latest and hope for the best.

Anyone else have these issues?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
I am only having issues with the pull down volume other than that I am good
[myTouch 4G Android Development] netter123:
I think it's been said, but in terms of toggle switches in the notification pulldown (like volume toggle), go into cyanogen settings, interface, notification power widget, widget buttons, then scroll to the bottom and select the options you want each button to toggle through. The way these are set up changed recently, so you have to select the exact options you want it to cycle through for the associated option.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Wow your the man its works its goes to a check off screen thanks so much man

Edit....

You can even add more items to toggle on pull down bar
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 0.0:
If you use the camcorder to record (not the ffc, but the back one) and put the quality on "high" and zoom in between 1.4x or so and 2.0x while recording, then stopping the recording, the camcorder freezes and force closes. Upon re-entering the camera app, it states "cannot connect to camera" until you reboot. does anyone else experience this? I know on the G2, it had the same issue.

upon looking at http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,9812, would this help in the above issue? please, someone shed light on this. thanks :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mustang00066:
Using latest nightly, tango has me upside down on the other persons phone. Anyone else?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cangri87:
Im having this same issue, but im on a older nightlie.. Havent updated to a new nightlie because every time i update and dont do a full wipe i've noticed my wifi gets screwed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] infraled:
Alright so after a full wipe the issues I had have almost resolved themselves. I'm about to try the toggle switch settings as posted above, but I still seem to have problems with the gps locking on to me. It seems like it is getting a position and holding on to it without refreshing. I have tried clearing it and fixing it with GPS Status but the issue persists.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Anyone have issues with voice actions? The mic doesn't respond half the time. Drives me nuts.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] netter123:
My wifi has been screwed up on all of the several nightlies I've tried (random disconnects that require turning wifi off/on to reconnect, stuck cycling through scanning/connect/disconnect, etc.). I've tried full wipes, and always end up with the same problem. I recently installed cm7 on my wife's mt4g, and hers has the same problem (happens at home and at other wifi spots).

From what I can tell, I guess wifi issues like this are a known problem and widely experienced by people on cm7? I've never tried a fastboot wipe through adb... Is there any advantage to wiping that way that might help?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] A23E:
I am on the latest Nighly and did not do a full wipe since N200. So far everything good, wifi very stable. Sometime I got 4G and wifi on at the same time (even wifi got full bar), GPS sometime on for no reason. I then run the Fix Permissions, reboot then back to normal. For the last 2 or 3 Nightly, I noted the battery drain fast. That's all.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] infraled:
The wifi keeps cycling on and off and this is after a complete wipe and install of the latest nightly.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] raheelk:
Yea, I've been having problems with wifi cycling on and off, I've given up on it for the moment. Can't find another alternative ROM that I like.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jggimi:
Flash goes bye-bye

While this news is, on its face, off-topic, there has been a history in this thread with difficulties getting particular releases of Flash to function with particular CM7 nightly builds.

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/11/09/steve-jobs-was-right-adobe-halts-flash-for-mobile-devices/
[myTouch 4G Android Development] corwest:
Meh... Good riddance as far as im concerned. Never worked that well anyway.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
I agree but it was still better than nothing. Not to mention it was always fun pulling websites up side by side against my friends which had iPhones

Sent from my Google Nexus 12... yep I'm from the future where Apple is no more!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] corwest:
Though this is true, I do hate iphones and Steve Jobs but it looks like a good decision on his part not to waste energy on Flash for iOS.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
which nightly is most stable and battery is great? the one i have now 240 is not that good battery anymore its kinda weak not sure if its the theme or background wallpaper killing the battery wallpaper not live tho
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I noticed that too. About 5-10 nightlies ago battery life was amazing but recently it has declined. Don't know what's up.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Agreed. Was getting like 24 hours, but now I'm lucky to get 12-14. :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Yup you both right its like confusing yesterday my battery soon as unplugged started at 99% right after I made sure I calibrated it after 4200mv its werid but hope new miui is good cuz I am not sure why nightlies are messing up
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
So your G2x was getting better battery life a few nightlies ago? Weird.... My G2x barely got 13 hours yesterday, unplug to dead. Maybe it's cm in general and not just our devices.

My glacier was literally getting 16 hours no problem until the last few nightlies. Thought it was just me and time to wipe again.

Does anyone have any idea which commit or change might have caused this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Trying again with the 240 Today if not good then back to old nightly looked 232, 237 or new miui tomorrow not sure how people get good battery life on miui tho

This is a nightly pic not sure which one

Edit I check the pic date I think it was 232 nightly cuz I downloaded 237 nov 1 and no nightly in between
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Holy crap...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Lol why you say that? And does the ics theme kill battery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pnut22r:
I can't dl 232. I want to give it a test. Can you post a link?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
This is the nightly page

download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=glacier&type=nightly
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TmobileDash12:
keep in mind that he didn't really use his phone much. look at the blue lines.

not sure but he might be using 2G only, not 3G.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pnut22r:
Thanks. The link on this page throws an error for the older nightloes. The mirrors must be down
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jojo7972:
Did anyone figure out which previous build was the most stable?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Yeah I was on 2g alot but I was using the phone plays games on it when I had it on
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Thanks does kik and live profile kill battery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Welcome. Don't know about that, check spare parts.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
How do I use it and know I went to usage and saw this
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Check out partial wake, network, and CPU usage.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Ok and if the apps are at the top in these three categories its the ones killing the battery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
More than likely. Pretty useful info, huh?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Yup seems good and I will use it nice thanks is there another app like it that has a better ui
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
I am kinda confused on why right after I calibrate battery it goes to 99%
[myTouch 4G Android Development] esincho:
Search like system info apps on market
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I've heard great things about system panel but haven't used it myself.

Temporarily uninstall the apps and see what changes with battery life. Let us know what happens.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pnut22r:
Phateless your the man around these parts... Which nightly do you use?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Thanks I just uninstall those two apps and I will get the system Panel thanks again
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Lol thanks, always the latest, I'm an addict.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Welcome, I'm curious to see what happens.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pnut22r:
Phateless. What are your favorite apps you use with cm7? For example, do you use a different dialer, messaging app, etc...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Yeah I reinstalled it now using system panel to monitor it

Edit...

Does anybody knows when 247 is coming out
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mniroy:
anyone know how to make front button can wake the phone? and screen on when message received? it is irritating bcs MT4G has a lot of button but only few can wake the phone. :(

edit: found it! try to edit glacier-keypad.kl on /system/usr/keylayout.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
What nightly are you on
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Battery drain still I guess it's the google voice and kik also live profile also that systempanel drained alot of battery

Still thinking what rom to use lol

Anyone tried the latest
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Try exploring the options for yourself.

Menu, settings, cm settings, input trackball wake.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Not sure what has happened to the battery life in nightlies does anyone knows what happens battery is lasting almost 8 hrs battery was lasting much long I also have a 1700 anker battery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mniroy:
of course i figure it out. but it just for trackball and volume rocker wake, what i want is all buttons can wake the phone not just the trackpad. nevermind, i have made modification to make it possible anyway. here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1343223

and for the sms wake up, use app called SMSAWAKE
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
You said FRONT BUTTON. I see what you mean now, probably build.prop or keypad file edits will do it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mniroy:
sorry for the ambiguous words, english isn't my native language. :D

but never mind, its solved now. yes keypad edits will do it. thank you. :cool:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
No worries, much respect for English as a second language! No respect for people who only speak English and still don't know how.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Hey which nightly your using and do you have any setcpu settings or kernel I can use to optimize battery life not sure what has happened with it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Some recent change has affected battery life, it's not your settings.

I run stock kernel with on demand governor and max at 1.3. Used to get 16 hours but lately only 12.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Aww man that's crazy I run on 768.max min the lowest all the time with interactive or darkside any solution or you have another rom you recommend
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Roll back about 10 or 15 nightlies ago.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Do you have a past nightly that you remember that was good? Because 10-15 is a big range lol And should I change the kernel to tdj?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I don't remember specifically. Try 238 or 227, let me know what you find. Don't worry about kernels just stay with stock cm.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
No problem! That's weird, wonder where it went? I say start with 238 and see how that goes.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
thanks again downloading 238 now

Same problem in G2x and Vibrant threads. And maybe the Incredible thread, lol. I forget.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaibar:
I tried once (had to :D) and got soft reboot.

Another thing that I noticed is the secondary ring animation has disappeared- not sure since which nightly it stopped working, though.

I been following cyan on twitter for 2 yrs. He quit Android at least 3 times ect. Each phone time is different too. U know most of them guys will have a G Nexus
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thederekjay:
That tweet says nothing about quitting... all he is saying is that they are starting on cm9 and build will roll out within the next couple months, so check back then ...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] esincho:
nevermind.. Not worth responding to
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Ok cool guess we just have to wait and see patience is a virtue :-)

Besides all that he said he is going to release 7.2 before totally focusing on cm9 hope they clean up everything from these nightlies

i think someone was wondering about if google+ worked when video chatting (the ffc problem). well, i tested it out, and it works! it didnt flip me upside down.

also, that middle ring problem that caused soft reboots, did that get fixed?
