How do you condition your battery? Every thread I've seen about, half the responses say it works, half say it doesn't, so I'm curious what you do.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] castuis:
Mugen is a great battery but fyi its not actually a 1650 its 1400 same as the stock but it overcharges to around 4.25 volts when properly conditioned so it takes a bit longer to drop to the cutoff voltage so it basically gives you the same life a 1650 would, I dont think a true 1650 would fit in the phone and allow the door to shut its a pretty tight squeeze even with the 1400, But yeah great battery you should be happy with it, we had a R/C hobby shop for years and Mugen was always a favored choice amongst people who were spending upwards of $1000 on their vehicle, ok just my 2cents
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Interesting, I'll give both a try when I'm finally feeling motivated.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
Well I go based off what Seidio recommends on their site(read it when I was looking for an extended battery). When you get the battery charge it right away. keep it plugged in 2-3 hours even after it has the fully charged green light,unplug it and then let it discharge fully. They say to do this the first 4 or 5 charges to maximize the life of the battery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
That would make perfect sense! I think I used the same Kernel on both roms!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gillaney:
After all my *****ing...

I figured after all my *****ing on here about battery life I would write something positive. I recently flashed to nightly #35, had a full charge, clean wipe, reset battery stats, and just got about 25 hours with moderate use and finally plugged it in at 5%. I think that's great! Can't ask much more from a battery so small. So thumbs up to #35. Thanks guys!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
I think the battery conditioning made a difference for me. With normal usage (no games, email, txt, gtalk, and a couple phone calls) i was at 44% after 23 hours.

But i am using pretty aggressive automatic back light settings and CPU tuner which turns off 3G when the screen is off, and during that 23 hour period i was almost exclusively using WiFi at home.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
Oh great. Well i guess no harm to install it. Wish koush would fix the charging while powered off issue :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gillaney:
Yeah, that's pretty aggressive stuff going on. But impressive, none the less.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] k0shi:
Ok sorry for being a noob but I been off of xda for a while anyways my question is where is the option to show battery percentage in status bar?!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mikejet:
if you install a theme that does it. like i use mixer and it shows the percentage
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
What's the largest vm heap to use in build.prop? Upping it is allowing lwps to run that previously fc'ed. Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I think that's a phone issue, not koush's. Someone will figure it out sooner or later...

Lol I look for that every new build. It's not in yet.

Thanks.

I bumped the vm up to 64, and i haven't noticed any downside. Set microbes as wallpaper. Just waiting to see if it freezes. Im gonna go download a nexus s rom and see what its set to in there, should probably be the same.

You may have inadvertent helped me resolve an issue i've been dealing with for weeks. :) thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Lol glad it helps, its been an ongoing prob for me too thank daneshm90 I'm at 56mb but not sure I can edit it from the phone as I am out and about.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Im gonna see if zinx will give some input on it for me. Theres probably a reason its set to 32 by default. Maybe he can shed better light on it for us. I've never had this wallpaper run for this long before. Seems fine now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] k0shi:
thank u sir.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] leo221:
from my past experiences with stock roms and CM6, power widget GPS toggle will only set to allow or disallow GPS radio. when GPS is "allowed", it doesn't turn on until google map app is started, no gps icon appear in notification bar if no map app is actively running. when google map or navigation starts, app starts gps radio. when map app quit, gps goes off. if GPS is completely disallowed, google map uses wifi/cell locationing only. when navi starts, it request to allow GPS.

In CM7, not sure if it's notification not reporting correct GPS status or google map doesn't correctly activate/deactivate GPS, that's a bug to be fixed.

hope my explanation makes sense. I loaded CM6 RC2 for the time being.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
Anyway to turn off the haptic on the unlock screen for CM7? i swore i saw it before, but couldn't find it. maybe i had it confused with when i was using Widget Locker
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
That makes perfect sense. For now I'm sticking with my original guess of the icon sticking.

fastest method for settings restore after full wipe?

Fastboot wipes have been mentioned a few times on this thread, and I hope I'm not cluttering the thread to ask the following:

I'd like to know what your quickest, most-efficient method is for restoring your settings, etc. after a full wipe (a la fastboot system -w).

for me, using a combo of sms backup, call log backup apps plus titanium, fixing perms, etc. it takes maybe an hour. just wondering if i'm missing a more simple, automated solution, and if so, might be worth sharing on here for the rest of us.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I'm personally a big fan of MyBackupPro as opposed to Titanium. Much better interface and easier to use, imo. Restoring data is always risky because it can also restore some of the bugs you were having.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
microbes still crashes at 64. not as much though. Im gonna try and go higher. we have plenty of ram.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
I'm running 96 right now
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
freezes at 96 too. i dont think i would want to go any higher than that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] everest.deth:
As it goes for other apps/widget and performance wise, is there any point in increasing the vm heap? :confused:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
MyBackup Root is free on the market. It works great.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
How do you change it? The highest option is 32 for me
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
change it in build.prop.

although, im not sure if its actually changing. Might have to modify it in cmparts somehow. to enable it in the cyanogen settings menu.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
Thanks in build.prop what am I looking for? Is it labeled vmheap or something similar?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m

But be careful.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] everest.deth:
Does the microbe wlp stay longer (in between each crash) after u increase the vm heapsize...cause if it does that way we'll know if altering the build.prop actually changes :D

[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
Ya its dangerous...i changed it back on like nightly 3 or something and rebooted, good thing i had a nandroid cuz it didnt load after that
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
no. Im up to 128 right now. Nothing is different. It runs fine until you open an app, then it freezes. Does it with adw, adw ex, and lp.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
Thanks, I will. I always pull it before I modify it so if anything goes wrong I can just push the original back up. So do you think increasing it to say 64 there will be any performance boosts?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] everest.deth:
I dont really think so...i think in fact option was havinh some fc's with the launchers

I believe so with every increase I can run more frames on my live wallpapers at 32mb I could get 6 frames at 96mb I'm getting 56
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
No, microbes freezing, I believe
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
I haven't had any fc's, just haven't noticed any real change. I've been reading about the whole Dalvik VM thing, and 64 shouldn't be bad, but theres really no point in it. If you see improvement in the wallpaper fps, good, but thats probably the only thing that will see improvement, and i'm not sure why its happening.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Its not FPS it's total frames in the animation.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
this should probably get ts own thread.

I decompiled the apk and im looking through it now. Hope i find something useful.

Maybe in a later build? There's a pink CM7 theme that goes directly to the theme Chooser once installed from the market. Maybe this could hold you down for the mean time :D. I don't know if it will change all the stuff you want but it will definitely change some stuff to pink LOL :p

[myTouch 4G Android Development] jggimi:
Try a full wipe -- I'm on #39 and have up to 30 minutes. I've instituted the practice of full wipe/factory reset and reformat of /system, since restoring takes only about 5 minutes, and wiping /cache and the Dalvik cache won't eliminate all detritus from prior builds.

-----

Of course, now GPS isn't working for me. No sats being received again.

There were several GPS related changes yesterday, including one or two for the Glacier, and one that fixes the GPS status icon remaining on when the GPS is off. Perhaps the commits were still in progress when the source extraction for the nightly build began -- or perhaps there's some status condition on my particular phone causing it. Or my restore of user apps and data from TB caused it -- that includes restoring data for apps that use location services.

Anyone have functioning GPS with #39?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Im not getting gps either. I don't have a god reason why for you though. Kinda odd. looks like gps isn't even trying to power up.

Even GPS status from the market doesn't seem to help.

Some of my apps were mysteriously removed after flashing 39. Won't let me reinstall. Looks like full wipe for me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I am on 39 and have no GPS issues (GPS status came up fast).

It may because I am on a flashover ROM install and not a clean wipe/install.

On the other hand, I am having WiFi connection issues similar to those I have had in the past after several flash-overs. It may be that some of the carried-over stuff is why I am not having GPS issues but am having WiFi problems.

Thinking of doing a full wipe, but with all the number of posters who are having GPS issues with 39, I may want to use 38 again or wait on 40 tonight.

WiFi (and sometimes Bluetooth) is the main problem I have had with multiple flashovers - wish there was a shortcut (uninstall - reinstall WiFi apps, etc) procedure to fix it without having to do a full wipe, as everything else is OK.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Weird, I've never had wifi issues or Navi issues. This is a flashover as well, probably my 15th or so in a row, but haven't had a single issue thus far. (knock on wood)

I was considering a full wipe but like you said, based on the number of reports I think I'll wait for a few.

GPS Status isn't showing any satellite data at all. It's as if it's not even on.

adb logcat > c:\logcat.txt

Right?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:

adb isn't detecting my phone at the moment so i did it through terminal. hope it worked.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
Southern california. It's working fine with an older build with all other things equal?

I actually have been flashing almost every nightly and the only problem I've had is wifi eventually disconnects itself when on for a long time (i.e. Overnight). This is so minor that it doesn't really bother me though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Hmm, I'm in the SF Bay Area. Also been flashing nightly (20 builds or so with no wipe) and my wifi works fine. I leave it charging all night with wifi never sleeping when plugged in. In the morning it's still connected.

Maybe it's your router?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
it worked, but it doesn't tell me anything i need. It show it turning on and everything, so i have no idea whats happening.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Weird. I turned on navi and gps status (which you probably saw) but gps status doesn't show any satellites as visible... If I weren't sick as a dog I would go for a drive with the navi on and see if it eventually picks it up.

I just did a full wipe and upgraded to build 33 a couple days ago. Since then, Gmail will not update with new email even though I have it set to sync automatically in the background under the "accounts/sync" settings. The only way I can get new email is to manually sync it each time I open Gmail.

Has anyone else experienced this? How can I fix it?

Thanks!

ok cool, thanks. I thought about sending him a pm but didn't want to bother him as I figured there were more appropriate channels for an end-user like me to follow.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
Definitely possible. I didn't really spend too much energy on that since it's just a matter of turning off and then back wifi from power widget.

Will probably look into it more once we get to RC and if it's still happening.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
I've actually been having a different issue with gmail. FC's after every flash.

I fixed it with the attached apk, witch also automagically shows pictures without any user input.

Might help you as well. Just rename it to gmail.apk and

adb push Gmail.apk /system/app/
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Since you just set up on a fresh wipe I would try clearing gmail data in apps settings and a reboot. If that doesn't work try a factory reset. There are also 5 newer builds to try.

I'm assuming you've already played with your wifi sleep policy?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
Sometimes it's the simplest things that we overlook... Set the sleep policy to never sleep. Will see if issue still remains. :)

I missed some of the system settings after I did a full wipe around 31...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cangri87:
go into settings > accounts/sync > click on gmail > make sure Mail box is checked.

that should fix it. thats what did it for me when i had issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
lol, there's so much to reset you never really know what you missed. I have mine set to never sleep when plugged in.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Zinx got back to me about the gps. Phateless logcat showed the issue so he knows whats going on now. No eta on a fix, but its in progress.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Awesome! Now that I finally got adb working again :rolleyes: I was watching the logcat.

It looks like it's having trouble resolving the gps servers and then when it does get a location "injecting" it (whatever that means) fails. It does find a coarse position though...

I barely know what I'm looking at so hopefully that means something to you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jggimi:
@option94 -- Thank you for following up with Zinx!

I know we're not supposed to contact devs regarding the Nightlies -- they peruse the various threads to take a pulse. But in this case it's really nice to know that a developer is aware of it and that a root cause appears likely. Mostly because an eventual fix will likely resolve other GPS-not-functioning--quite-properly issues.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
<zinx> yeah

<zinx> E/libloc ( 1487): loc_eng_inject_injection failed.

<zinx> ^^ will make it wait up to 12.5 min for a lock

And its true that cm guys usually dont want to be bothered, because look through this thread, 334 pages of bug reports. That would drive them nuts. I figured that since it was an issue everyone was having, and we had the logs to prove there was an issue, it wouldn't hurt. I wouldn't go making a habit of it though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
Using 39 nightly on a full system wipe.. GPS is working perfect here. Have been using it all day with maps driving around.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
turn off wifi and network location. See what happens.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Weird... I'd try a full wipe but don't feel like setting up again. Everything else works fine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
I think those that think its working are just using network location.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
I'll turn off wifi and network location and test it. Normally with network location you can tell because it gives a large radius for the accuracy. But my location on maps is quite precise.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Navi won't work at all without GPS, so if Navigation works (NOT MAPS!) then GPS is working.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
Just did this using gps essentials. Map started in tulsa, ok. Gives a toast saying network unavailable, gps indicator shows up, then brings me to my location in orange county after about 5 seconds.

I think this means my gps is working?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Like i said, it was just a guess. I had no proof one way or the other.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
Confirming that my navi is working as well.

Sounds like it's not an issue specific to the build. Maybe need a wipe?

But now my gps indicator is stuck. Haha
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Yup, your gps is working fine. Maybe I do need a wipe. I'll wait and see what Zinx says.

lol, mine has always done that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
zinx thinks the issue was from fixing the gps icon sticking. If your icon is still sticking, somehow you dont have the fix. this is very weird.
