Crazy Data Usage!

I'm experiencing huge amounts of data transfer from the Media Storage Android Service. This after a fresh wipe and install and only happens with Froyo by Laszo I replicated this multiple times. I'm talking hundreds of MB within a half hour. I don't have the google backup service enabled and I haven't even installed any apps from the market.

I actually received a message from T-mobile stating that my data will be throttled for the remainder of my cycle due to going over the 5 GB threshold. My data usage was minimal until I installed this ROM :(

This seems to be a serious bug in an otherwise great ROM. I'm hoping nothing malicious is going on here.

I'm on the MT3G (32b) with the recommended partitioning scheme.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
That isn't typical. I just checked and I've used about 100MB in the last two weeks. You might want to check your apps. One thought that comes to mind is the latest Titanium Backup has a new feature for backup to Dropbox.

[G1 Android Development] elmoojps:
This is after a fresh install after wiping and no apps installed (that didn't come with the ROM). Also this does not happen with any other ROM. Also all the data transfer is inbound to the phone.

frequent freezes

after i upgraded to 5.1 i get random freezes. i always have to restart and they keep coming back.

no apps installed either. couldn't get a logcat either, the phone was just too freezy.

it was fast when it worked though.
[G1 Android Development] ForTehWolf:
I first I thought BiffMod was the definitive froyo ROM for the G1, but this ROM is so smooth I think it might be one of my favorite ROMs, i'm getting speeds faster than donut
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Like always, this ROM is running very fast. However, my battery life hasn't really been the greatest lately. I installed ezterry's ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S kernel, since the kernel that came with the ROM caused a lot of random reboots and freezes. I even lowered the CPU speed with SetCPU, and I still have crappy battery life.

Any suggestions on how to increase battery life? I always reboot my phone after having it plugged in via USB cable to the computer, but I don't reboot it after removing it from a wall charger.

Thanks!

By the way, that Honeybread theme looks pretty cool. I'm gonna try it. :D
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
while having ezterry's kernel...charge up your battery upto 100 percent..make sure it says charged...not 99, but 100%...and then go to recovery and wipe battery status...keep it connected on the charger...until it boots up...wait about 20 minutes and disconnect it and let it die all the way...until it automatically shuts off..when it shuts off...turn it on again and connect the charger and charge it for about 8 hours straight...try not to use it...so try to plan it out, so it would just charge overnight...and after that....thats it.....TIP: dont charge the battery when its midway...i.e. 50% or 30%..or even 70%...just charge it when its 15 percent or less upto 100 and your battery will last soo much longer...give it a shot =)
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
For me it is quite the same especially after using bluetooth.

I tried all tricks that I could find at xda forums, but I could not get the battery to last significant longer.

I even tried the latest 2 versions of Ezterry's kernels without success.

One could think the battery is just about to die.:mad:

For now I went back to biffmod rom with the latest kernel from Ezterry.

Much better battery life while using wifi or gps and almost no battery drain in standby.

This means I only have to charge once or twice a week when only checking emails, writing some sms, little internet, and some phone calls per day.:D
[G1 Android Development] Pvanwelt:
I thought the drains had to do with the 27.08 kernel ? Rather then with the rom ?

But your battery life improved after flashing the biffmod 27.08 ported rom ?
[G1 Android Development] NLJ:
I think that both probs can be solved by flashing attachment from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11632544&postcount=853

@sisterchick

Great job again with that HC theme! =o)) Thanks a lot!!

Now I'll try to put those in my source tree
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
I think battery drain mainly depends on software (apps, services...).

So for me it's no problem to see battery load decrease while using the phone.

But I suppose the phone to sleep when I set it to sleep.

With biffmod there is almost no load decrease when the phone sleeps.

Since I don't use my phone constantly (no facebook, no twitter, no frequent syncs of my account)

I experienced lazlos rom to have sudden drains (~20% per hour) even in sleep mode (screen off) and with the same apps installed.

BTW:

elmoojps stated a huge data usage though actually not downloading or syncing.

I had a similar problem with lazlos rom until I installed DroidWall.

Since I have no flat (prepaid card) I lost ~10Euro in ~1h after a short checking of email and leaving mobile data switched on.

I did a fresh install of the rom v5.1 (superwipe, no addidtional apps) and

time I switched on mobile network it startet to download something.

Only DroidWall stopped this.

So when something is constantly trying to access network (even in sleep mode), it will shurely drain the battery.

But actually I'm not that deep in it to figure out the problem.
[G1 Android Development] InquisitiveG:
My battery drain issue was worst (10%+/hour) after disconnecting from any charger (wall, usb, car) and even reboots didn't seem to make any difference. That all improved on v4 of this rom to between 1-2%/hour. When I upgraded to v5 it increased to 3-4%/hour, but a huge drain when making calls (about 2%/minute). I have many days I am on the phone for 50+ min. I flashed ezterrys latest kernel (ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip) but did not notice any difference. I went back from 28.25 to 27.08 radio (because cell standby was very high on battery usage chart) seemed like some improvement, but only marginal (when on phone now about 1% to 1-1/2%/min. I have tried the wipe stats while plugged in fully charged then run till it quits then charge full again several times with no change. Only apps I added are email.apk (I use exchange email) and maps (I keep gps off unless I need to use navigation, but only when I can plug into car charger).

Here are a couple more I found on the forum.

[G1 Android Development] Jurai:
On the battery drain issues, I've always noticed a higher battery drain when using any of the 2708 kernels / roms. There was a lot of talk about it in ezTerry's initial thread for awhile. It's pretty much a trade off, run a newer faster rom with extra ram, or take better battery life on a donute/eclair rom. There definitely is a battery issue somewhere in the chain but I don't believe anyone has ever singled it out.

You might consider buying an extended size battery?
[G1 Android Development] mahroze:
Flashed it over my cm 6.1 DS seems to work fine ginne give more feedback over time :):):):)
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Been testing the battery drain using Battery Mix and that app showed Beautiful Widgets as being the single most battery draining app I had installed. After that Whatsapp. So I removed the weather widget from my homescreen just to see what would happen. Unfortunately the Battery Mix app itself is also a pretty heavy battery drainer so I unstalled it for now.

Yesterday I fully charged the phone and went to bed. Seven hours later the battery displayed 99% charge. What I usually find rather strange is that the power indication drops very very quickly when using the phone after I wake up. So within 10 minutes of use it's at 93% for example, and then settles again.

Now it's 15 hours since unplugging and granted I haven't used the phone much but it's at 72%. With Bluetooth and Wifi on, GPS off.

That's not a massive drain in my opinion. When (actively) using the phone the power depletes rather quickly. But I easily make it through the day (unless you're using navigation, the drain is amazing when doing such a thing) so it's no biggie for me. The RAM-advantage easily outweighs the disadvantage you might have concerning battery drain.

Found this great hc bootanimation but the images are not mdpi size hence it takes much longer to boot :/

If someone wouldn't mind resizing I would much appreciate it.
[G1 Android Development] BuddhaTeh1337:
i really dont understand this current obsession with honeycomb.

as far as i can see, there hasnt even been a really fast or stable gingerbread ROM for our old ass g1's. =/

thats just my opinion though.

@sisterchick nice theme! it really does flow well. i'll try it out.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Here you go...I had my tools out, so I knocked it down 66% to MDPI and optimized. I DIDN'T TEST IT. Let me know how it works!
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
you proly haven't try the one on my signature, so far is the one of three versions of gingerbread I found around, and the more complete and responsive, using it for 2 weeks (& few mods), so far, so good :)

P.S sorry for jumping in here:o
[G1 Android Development] tagm:
Totally agree. IMO any Android version above 2.0 that gives me stability, speed and compatibility is good enough.

Laszlo's Rom seems to be one of the few to provide all of that, but that is only after one day testing it.

I have experienced more then once that roms give issues after a couple of days of use, so lets wait and see.
[G1 Android Development] metalfangs:
Ran into few issues. The first being that you zipped the folder entirely not just the contents :) After rezipping though I noticed that the image is skewed upon booting, I am assuming due to the image not being large enough? I could be wrong but from what I just read the images should be 480x320. I attached the 'fixed' zip.

Also in regards to the honeycomb 'obsession' .... I just happen to like the way it looks! Problem?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
The original images were 480x480 and I resized down 66% to about 320x320, the recommended size for Dream/Sapphire so that's not it. Perhaps the problem came when I optimized? Give me a few minutes and I'll resize them again without optimizing. Sorry about zipping the folder. I was in too big a hurry!

EDIT: In doing research, I found someone else has already ported this animation to the G1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973924
[G1 Android Development] thisishoot:
is there any way to clear the app data out of the internal phone memory? i started with 296 mb and after a week of use on 5.1 im down to 265mb. Thing is, i didnt run the aio patch(am i suppose to? i have apps on sd-ext) so is actual app data is still on internal right? should i do a complete wipe reflash and run the patch?

i search the forum but i really didnt find a answer for it
[G1 Android Development] :
Reflash and run options 2 4 10 from Fr's AIO patch to move dalvic to sd-ext which will free it back up, there have been mixed results running this once your phone is setup so you can try before you wipe but probably best doing a full wipe and restore.
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
You could try getting CacheCleaner NG from the market. I use it every once in awhile, and it frees up a couple MB on internal and external storage every time. I'm not exactly sure if this removes app data, but it should help at least a little bit.
[G1 Android Development] :
It removes cache and temp files, to remove app data would be somewhat counter productive.
[G1 Android Development] moises93:
Hey I have a problem with your rom, every time I reboot or turn off my phone all my installed apps disappear! :( I thought it was my launcher but I tried others and same problem!

Good battery life

Have I mentioned that I really like this ROM? Thanks again!

Just an FYI...I dialed back the CPU settings (Settings/Extras/Performance Settings/CPU Settings) to max of 528 and min of 160 MHz and it has helped my battery life a good bit. I also upped my compcache to 26%. Performance is still great.
[G1 Android Development] tidewaterns:
One more time....This ROM is awesome!! :D

I am running at 633Mhz Max and 122Mhz Min and I have my compcache set to 26%, lock home at in memory, lock messaging app in memory, and VM heap size to 32m. I pulled my phone off the charger at 6:45am and I have been texting and using the voice search to text with, made some phone calls, browsed the internet with wifi on, and checked and read some emails with gmail and the email app and my battery is at 85%. I am rather happy with that because that is a 4% per hour based on the fact that I use my phone a lot. I also charge my phone every night, whether it is on 10% or 50% it goes on the charger.

Radio 2.22.23.02

Hi,

Some discussions around the site have pinned down the reduced battery life to all ROMs with 2708 radio.

My questions is.. is it OK to install the older 2.22.23.02 radio onto a G1 with Laszlo 5.1? If thsi is not possible, is there a way to get this rom on the older radio? Or is there an equivalent rom for that radio?

I love this ROM, but the 8 hour battery life is a sore downer.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
AFAIK you can use a rom and install an appropriate kernel. Most important is that the kernel matches with the radio.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Strange, I never could get such a good battery performance when using this rom.

May be a silly question but can the usage of swap instead of compcache increase battery drain or is it just my phone (Magic 32b).

What apps do you have installed, did you manually remove/deactivate any services?
[G1 Android Development] tidewaterns:
I remember when I was using swap that my battery did not last as long when I switched to compcache. I have androidify, astro, barcode scanner, barnacle wifi tether, color flashlight, hootsuite (which runs in the background), email (which runs in the background), engadget, facebook (which runs in the background), fancy widget (which runs in the background),gmaill (which runs in the background), lookout (which runs in the background), metamorph, minimalistic text, mobile banking, music searcher, netqfree, nexus revamped pro, pandora, ringdroid, rom manager, soundhound, speed, test, square, taxcaster, trillian (which runs in the background), twitter (which runs in the background), voice search, xda, and youtube. I did not manually remove/deactivate any services.

I sometimes even run the live wallpaper listed in my apps and my phone never freezes and battery life is a little worse but it last all day. I only open the apps when I want to use them. If any of the apps startup in the background to update or whatever I do not close them I let them run. I have not had to reboot or manually stop any apps because of battery issues or memory issues. My phone started running better after about the 2nd day with 5.1. After I did the update, my phone was running kind of sluggish. I did not investigate because everyone says you have to give an update or a newly flashed ROM time to get the things in the background done. After the 1st day, my phone was a speed demon and multi-multi tasking. I just always make sure that when I am done with an app, I always hit back twice to make sure that I quit it when I am finished with it.
[G1 Android Development] :
@Tide - Another option is to go to settings/applications/development - Stop app via long press (long pressing the back button will kill foreground app)

And yes this is pedantic BUT after two days the only thing that so far has slowed on this rom is the contacts opening time (approx. 0.357 secs slower than an asop build) :D I did say it was pedantic ;)

Edit - Is anyone else having problems saving and restoring theme in settings/extras/user interface/tweak extras/save current theme? I name the file, click save and... Well nothing :(

[G1 Android Development] tidewaterns:
Yea I know that I just tap the back button twice out of habit.

It was not that it was slow for 2 days, but a lot of my memory was taken up. Do not remember why but after the 2nd day I remember the phone running a lot smoother and faster.

Hey Shadow! I'm not sure it's "nothing" or just invisible.The problem may be white text on a white background; hard to tell if it's functional or not. Is the theme you named saved to your SD card? NLJ is aware of that bug needing squishing.

Does anyone have problem with battery drain while on wifi? When I turn on wifi without charger with battery full, after few mins phone turns off and when I turn it on, says battery 0.

And if I wait about 5-10 mins and turn it again, says battery 100%.

[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
1. Just do a Nandroid backup, wipe, and flash the .zip in recovery.

2. For me, this is way faster than CM6. This is the fastest Froyo ROM I have ever used. And since ADW is replaced by LauncherPro, its way smoother. At least that's my opinion.

3. I haven't had any FCs.
