Is anybody experiencing poor battery life on build 8? I flashed build 7 from cm 6.1 the night before last, and it seemed to be about on par yesterday, but today after flashing build 8 my battery is running out much more quickly, and I am hardly using the phone at all. It couldn't be related to the fact that I forgot to wipe cache/dalvik when flashing build 8 over build 7, could it?

Other than that, everything seems to be running smooth as silk, although I haven't checked the GPS. Most excellent considering it is still just a nightly.

My GPS now works like a charm. Thanks guys. Credit to jstiel on CM forums for the find.

I'm stunned, these steps actually fix the issue. Doesn't make sense because nandroid completely reimages all traces of 6.1.1 on the phones internal memory. All I can figure is whatever is causing the issue *must* be happening somewhere on the sdcard.

Tried this, not sure if I used 6.1.1

Did not work.

I used 'cm_liberty_full-6.zip', 71.9 Megs

I'll keep trying...

Where in cm7 would I enable showing the battery percentage in the battery icon?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
This feature isn't in cm7 yet.

I triple confirm this. IT F WORKED!!!!!!! O_O
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
i found that my battery life was quite good ....

this was one of the items I believe that was enhanced with Gingerbread.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
I have build 8 as well... Really fast and smooth.

On my Aria, GPS test locked 9 satellites in less than 3 seconds. It actually seemed nearly instantaneous. Unbelievably fast.

I didn't do anything special - just tried the new ROMs.

Well, smack me with a wet noodle, it WORKED!

Makes no sense to me...

For some weird reason all of the google apps crashed. I deleted them and re-installed them.

But.... Awesome GPS now.

Thanks!

Im running build 8 and LED seems to be working. One problem though. I looked around and saw that cm ROMs notification LED is supposed to be red. But when I receive a notification from Google Voice, the LED blinks green. Is there a setting where I can change the ROMs LED notifications from red to green?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i dont even get a notification light when i text my GV number?
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
Regarding pixelated icons, please take a look of the attachment in which a html shows some of cm7 icons and cm6 gb theme's side by side.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
exactly what i was talking about

it seems to try to be higher quality but fails to probably scaling issues
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
Thats my last name! Powers......SERIOUSLY. Good lord, thats wild.... hahahaha :eek:
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^ that's pretty crazy and very random that I said that . anyways....back on track here. Can't wait to see these new changes coming to the liberty here. New touch to focus overlay? and electron beam.....crazy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaboose01:
electron beam is the CRT animation that plays on lock/unlock. the update just fixes a issue with screen fade out with the animation turned off or completely disabled.

and the overlay just hit a snag from the commit comments i just read. seems like it was prematurely committed to the repository before it was worked out.
[HTC Aria Android Development] boxcar8028:
Yeah, just flash n237 vary nice and smooth. Running cm7 stock and liking it. Vary snappy...
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
In regards to the DC kernel issue, DC has narrowed it down to the fact that some change made when going from Android 2.3.5 to 2.3.7 is causing SOME users problems. I sent him the dmesg and logcat of the problem this morning, so I think he will look at them tonight to figure it out.

With regards to the higher battery drain with the stock kernel, it's because there is no underclocking. The minimum frequency is 245, which is excessive when the phone is idle, thus draining the battery at a faster rate.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Thanks for pursuing the issue.

Even though I'm apparently one of the lucky few that has not had WiFi issues with 8.9.1 so far, there's obviously an problem.

Yea, even though I only clock down to 200 min, the difference between that and 245 is quite noticeable in battery drain.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
No problem. All credit goes to drowningchild though.

200 is a perfect minimum for me for screen off. It isn't laggy on the wake and it still conserves a good amount of battery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
theres nothing i can see in the dmesg/logcat except wifi cycling on and off thats it :\

im just boggled by that it effects only some users

i do not see any data(cell) issues in the logs at all, which confuses me why that dies also, i want to know what you users, who have the issue, are using/doing with anything that could effect wifi

attn1 says there were NO changes that should cause this at all...and you can see i havent changed anything that would cause it, it could even be your routers being weird & causing issues

no issues here using netgear 2.4N router and an old belkin
[HTC Aria Android Development] mbudden:
The thing is, it doesn't effect only wifi. It effects both wifi and mobile data for me. The wifi or mobile data icons will be blue, but nothing will update or go through. The only way to retain data is to do a reboot, though it doesn't bother me as much as others.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
yes it happens with both wifi and data. Only fix being a reboot. no issues however with the stock kernel. phone ran much better with your kernel though :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] LightI3ulb:
I find it happened to occur more on days where I would be running errands or going out. Perhaps the loss of wifi, switch to data, and wifi search for an open network may have some issues involved.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^^i was thinking the same thing, cause when i walk my dog ill leave on wifi on and forget about that i left it on. that's when i first experienced both 3g and wife data lost. sorry...i should of posted in D's kernel thread
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
What if you toggle airplane mode on/off?
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
Tried it and it doesn't work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mbudden:
Same. It'll say it's connected, but no data at all.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
.

For me it happens randomly, and staying at close range of my wifi source. Not switching or anything. I have the problems with a Cisco router and also with a TP-Link one so my guess the problem aint the router config.

Likewise I can only access the logcat but I dont see anything worth sending.

My feeling with this problem is that after sometime of not using the wifi (I dont use data, so no idea) and then using it, it will choke in some mins. Of course, it doesnt always happens like that, but it just stops. The webpages on Miren Browser loads like a 15% and then stays there, I dont even get an error. Updates on Minimal Reader Pro just stop after a while from no data. It's like wifi froze.

Besides all that, I'm having a problem. If I dont play a bit with my phone after restarting, the phone will always freeze. Like restarting it and leaving it there, before Launcher Pro gives me the FC. It would always not respond to input if I forgot it around while booting up.

Ok, wifi died again, this time while the phone was idle for a long while... Meh, no idea, this happens randomly :/

Btw, when data dies, the wifi icon shows like connected even if I cant pull data. If I switch wifi off and then on, it'll show gray, like it cant connect. If it's sometime after wifi died, then the icon will turn gray. Like the phone doesnt know it lost connection (like Windows with a firewall event asking the user what to do)
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
I noticed the same happening to me as well. I Leave my phone laying around, then pick it up and the signal is dead, sometimes it comes back after toggling airplane mode on then off. If I leave the data on it will usual go off if I leave it laying too. But it all happens at random. Data has become very slow when it does connect.
[HTC Aria Android Development] brivette007:
I've noticed the same thing on mine, too. Very annoying.

237 with stock kernal
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
Glad to hear others are having the same issue.... Not so glad that we are all having to deal with it though. I have even went as far as format system, clean install with no apps. Still getting the intermittent no, or slow data, as well as signal drop problem. I'll keep screwing around with it and post back any positive result.
[HTC Aria Android Development] brivette007:
Flashing 242 now. Fingers crossed that the network woes are resolved...
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
flashed this afternoon....no issues with stock kernel...too lazy to bother with the possibilities of issues with the DC kernel....please let us know
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
those "issues" only seem to happen to a few people

no "issues" here
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
do you think the issues are by chance or are hardware based? For example, I had the issues before, do you think that there is a chance of them not happening again with a new flash, or if I had them before, I will most definitely have them again?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
theres no way to tell...i dont get the "issue", so i cant help especially with logs not explaining much
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
I only recently started having the data and signal issues. I have always used stock kernel and only started having them with 233 and up. But this 236 and 237 are the worst. I have been getting calls and not even getting a ring or seeing them as missed. But have had 3 -4 bars every time it happens. Then sometimes I get no bars and have to airplane mode on and off to get them back. Also, my data seems to magically not appear and disappear for no reason. Remember....this is happening on stock oc'd to 786 interactive or conservative..... makes no difference in the scaling plan.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
I haven't experienced anything like this on the stock kernel. Only with DC kernel.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
Honestly... It could be where I am @. I live very close to AUSTIN TX and they are supposed to be upgrading the network around here for LTE. Makes sense, but then again, I saw others having issues so who knows. I'm gonna flash 242 and report back tonight or tomorrow.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaboose01:
Smooth sailing on 242 as far as i can tell.
[HTC Aria Android Development] madsnake53:
hey i know im pre noob about this stuff but could it have something to do with the different arias like the a6380 or whatever? just a thought?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
242 acting much better. Data is consistent for me now. It wasn't just the network upgrade. It was the ROM. Been running it since last night with no problems.

BTW - I'm still on stock kernel oc'd to 786 as usual.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
Installed nightly 242 with DC kernel 8.9.2a and my data seems to be back, however not quite like before....I am unsure if it is the changes made from 8.9.1 to 8.9.2a or if it is just my area. next significant nightly I will attempt both 8.9.1 and 8.9.2a and see if I get data on both and which one seems to work better, but I would encourage people to head back to the DC kernel if they had lost data before because it seems to be working again for me.

also if someone wants to try 8.9.1 with a new nightly and see if they get data. If not try 8.9.2a and report back

-Mike
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
Could everyone please post OTHER kernel issues in their respective thread. I'm sure many people are getting confused....including me. This thread was supposed to be for cm nightly discussion only. Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Nightlys only should be posted here and drowningchilds kernel at his thread, simple. Stock nightly kernels can be posted here. Hope that helps the confusion. Don't know of that's right but makes sense to me. i'm running n242 and nothing else and everything is running great. No wifi or data problems what so ever. GPS works and everything else.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
^^^Agreed. Stock kernel is working great for me as well, with the exception of the not-so-great battery life due to no underclocking :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
My battery is not so good either. I had to charge twice yesterday, w,hich is usually no the case. Once is usually the standard, up until 242. I can deal with it though since my data is good to go.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
.

Meh, for me I never had better battery life xD Or perhaps before it would be just horrible. I left the phone (with stoc n242) all night disconnected from power but with wifi always on and it ate like.... 5%? That's nothing. With previous it would it like 50%. The phone is waking up less, I dont know why but my mails are already there waiting for me. :happyme:
[HTC Aria Android Development] brivette007:
My battery has been terrible on about the last 10-15 nightlies that I flashed, either kernal.

Battery will go from 100% to 65% in ten minutes of on time. Battery use says that the display is the culprit. I have auto brightness on.

On a side note, I did break the digitizer about a month ago and replaced it. Maybe I covered up the light sensor or something, making the brightness screwed up and draining the battery. Not sure.

I'm keeping auto brightness on because I need the soft button lights off. (They bleed onto the screen now when they're on.)
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
I bet that is the culprit...what I would do if I were you is take the digitizer off again, and put a piece of tape over the buttons on the inside and sharpie the tape black. then turn auto brightness off and use the status bar brightness slider
[HTC Aria Android Development] Divino:
Auto-brighness is ok, all you have to do is change default values to less-drayning setting!
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
N242 broke the GPS. It doesn't even lock anymore. The icon just sits there blinking, then disappears, then reappears and continues blinking.

Edit: clearing maps data seems to have restored locks, but the issue of the "lazy" icon is still there.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
.

All working fine here with GPS. I would even dare to say that it locks faster.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
The gps breaks for me when leaving it toggled on all day. Then when using maps app it would lock then not follow me and then gps icon goes away. Id have to toggle GPS off and on to work again. i've cleared cache, install, and uninstall and full wipe. Still had that GPS issue. It did the same within the last of nightlys 2.3.5 and now into the 2.3.7 :( so now I just leave it off until I have to use it and it locks within seconds and follows me. no biggie.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
what you describe is exactly what i'm experiencing. however, it only started happening for me after 242, where they had that new gps commit.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
Flashed back to 236 and GPS is lovely again. Fast locks and the icon is accurate.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^ i've got to do this because GPS is really messed up for me on n242.

Edit: wiped cache & dalvik then flashed n236 and it seemed to fixed it. Could have been a bad flash to begin with on n242. Don't know.
[HTC Aria Android Development] pcrat:
OK, on the link for the nightlys, Here

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly

I have the HTC aria, i had the old cm 7.0.0-RC4 but since Aria ( or Intruder) is not in there for phone brands how do ya know what ones to download for the aria?

Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
The Aria/Intruder/Gratia all fall under the codename Liberty.

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=liberty
[HTC Aria Android Development] pcrat:
ahh ok thanks much appreciated. so any thing change in the latest, since way back?

before i flash.? is it worth it, or just bug fixes.?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Theonew:
You could check the changelogs here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=liberty (just tells you most recent). For the most part, the device boots faster, a few UI changes, many bug fixes, a few more options, later firmware, and a few other minor stuff.

Bottom line: I would advise you to update.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
I pushed gps.liberty.so in system/lib/hw from n236 to the latest nightly and it has fixed my gps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
The commit switches the gps mode to standalone when there's no supl nor c2k host set. The current gps.conf you are using doesn't have supl host setting, if you've never touched it. Try one of the two gps.conf files I attached - just push it to phone as /system/etc/gps.conf See if that helps. (I don't know, as I'm still using the old gps lib. :p It always locks within 5 seconds, even when it's surrounded by buildings.)
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
thanks ladios, but i've already tried editing gps.conf and adding the missing lines, namely:

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

C2K_HOST=default or c2k.pde.com

C2K_PORT=0 or 1234

doesn't make a difference. only thing that works for me is pushing the old gps.liberty.so.

i'm thinking the commit should probably get reverted or made supersonic specific (after all, he does mention the supersonic in the commit message).

---------- Post added at 04:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ----------

are you still using an aria btw? i've noticed you had some commits for the samsung aries recently.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
When you mean old gps.libs. How old are we talking here? Does anybody have the old gps.libs handy by any chance so that I can try that out also?
[HTC Aria Android Development] brivette007:
Since 242 (now on 249), the sound toggle on the notification power widget does not work for me. Each time you touch it, it doesn't change anything, and causes the widget to grow or shrink by a few pixels. Tried wiping and reflashing, but that didn't help.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^^ Maybe check your settings in Cyanogenmod settings>interface>notification power widget>widget buttons and scroll down and re-select what you need as in sounds and brightness options. Newest nightlys made it easier to toggle what you need and dont need now. Could be that some options are not selected because of the change. hope that helps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] SoCalHTCFuze:
Latest build and all is well. GPS could not get a lock using maps until after I downloaded the GPS Status tool and let it find all available sattelites. Now maps lock almost instantly. WIFI, Tethering and Bluetooth all flawless.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^^ what sucks is that you used to not have to use gps status app. At least in my situation. I pushed the firtst gps file that ladios provided and it seems to have done nothing. Gonna try the second one in a little bit. Im trying to figure out how to get the old gps.lib and maybe thats the ticket? :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
So, it's not that simple... probably more is going on behind the scene.

Some devices have their own settings apps. I just maintain the Traditional Chinese translations for those. I'm still using my aria, but not for long. Perhaps, I'd go for the new nexus.

The oldest one from htc stock.

I made a few zips for you guys to try. The libs are all built from source cleanly with `make gps.liberty`, so they should be safe... I mean the libs should (theoretically) have no conflicts. Anyway, NANDROID first!

(I think those filenames are self-expained.)
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^^ thanks Ladios, i'm gonna give a try and report back.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
What version or nightly is the 2nd GPS.conf from?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
I'm running the latest nightly and flashed the HTC stock gps file from ladios and I get a quick lock now. I couldn't even get a lock at all with latest nightly. Thanks button was hit :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
It's from me http://review.cyanogenmod.com/9551 and I'm using it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] TheFuzz69:
Same thing..
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Settings/Cyanogenmod settings/Interface/Notification power widget/Widget buttons/

Toggle the sound checkbox off and then back on.

Problem should be fixed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dagwud:
I'm running CM7.1 (not nightly) and my GPS just went wanky this last week. It was great at first, but it's recently been taking more than 5 minutes to get a lock, if at all.

I flashed the stock HTC file and got an immediate lock after rebooting the phone.. Of course, the phone crashed immediately thereafter. But it's been stable after the second reboot.

Many thanks and much appreciation.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaboose01:
Thanks ladios! Back down to 6 sec locks from 30+ sec lock... if it even found a satellite then.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Ladios reverted-src (the second one that he posted) gps fix also works with the latest nightly. 3-5 sec gps lock. Sweet
[HTC Aria Android Development] Sengfeng:
Tried that on mine, sound button's still broken...
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
in the settings/cm settings/interface/notification power widget/widget buttons:

scroll all the way to the bottom. click on "sound modes", and check all the options you prefer. this will restore the old behavior.

a recent commit allowed users to pick which options they wanted for the sound mode widget, but left most of the options unchecked by default.
[HTC Aria Android Development] TheFuzz69:
Cool, thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] kabell4:
Running n252 without issue. Also flashed HTC stock GPS and getting much quicker lock. Everything is much smoother.

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Shtsh:
What files did you flashed for fast GPS lock?
