Very bad battery life and over-heating

This evening I decided to flash the latest version. At that time, I had about 90% battery remaining.

After I flashed it, I started to setup my wireless settings to use wifi and then add my google account and proceed to setup the phone and play around with it.

Anyway, despite using wi-fi, the phone got hot too like it was on 3G.

After 3 hours of playing around with my phone (reinstalling apps from backup and also downloading newer version from the net), the battery indicator showed 15% battery life left. :mad:

Try install this app called FasterFix. It will help make Satellite locking faster.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Did you try calibrating the battery? I'm at 60% battery after 4 hours and 30 minutes of usage on Wifi (Facebook and XDA mostly).

no trouble with maps & gps lock here..

btw, how to check ext4 works after i converted from ext2 and ext3.. (vadonka method)..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
As I said before, your issue is that you are trying to mount the share to a folder that does not exist. In your case /mnt/cifs/<sharedfolder>.

Under RC4, CifsManager is able to mkdir that folder for you before mount.

Under RC4.1 and 7.0.0 release not.

The commit to be blamed is this one:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,4436

I'll revert it for the next build.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
the latest cronos ginger rom based on a daily build what used kabaldan for testing. he is not releasing CM7 from this source. i do not recommend to use cronos full ROM, but he make a few good performance tuning.

here is the modification list of cronos and what is the difference.

removed system apk's by cronos:

adwlauncher. cmwallpappers, developement, protips

added system apk's by cronos:

ganoptimizer, launcher2

added zipaling to /system/bin

removed 07app2ext

modified 10overclock file (it is very different from the stock cm7, take a look)

deleted some hashmarked row from init.mapphone_umts.rc

he is not loading modules at early boot, so the sdcard mount problem what is solved kabaldan is persist!

changed memory management and some values in init.rc (this also interesting)

added extra ntp server to gps.conf

replace almost all system font (it is not bad)

cronos release missed some important modules, like the proper ext4 module, cifs, nfs, nls, tun, ... (on the other hand many modules older than the final CM7)

libraries also outdated!

he had some cleanup in build.prop (nothing important, just like a "makeover")

the conclusion is, cronos have a many outdated system apk, binary, script, library, etc... the only interesting difference is 10overclock and init.rc.

if you just merge them with araxis merge or any comparsion software you see the difference.

my advise is use the final CM7 and if you wish modified this two files like the cronos way.

here is the two file comparsion report, just take a look:

http://www.vadonka.com/android/10overclock.html

http://www.vadonka.com/android/init.rc.html

the differences is highlighted in booth side
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
New Final Release of CM7 is a lot better than RC 4.1, all the problems I had with RC 4.1 are now gone. Well done nadlabak. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Hell, this is actually much bigger issue than I have initially thought.

No one noticed broken mkdir command in all CM builds for any phones since 7.4.2011? :eek:

I'll have to do a new build sooner than I thought.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Thanks for all your work, men.

I though Im not that retarded, but, will see :D

Hope can help :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
This is a bit off topic but I couldn't find the answer elsewhere. I was trying to install CM7 on a friend's phone so I turned it on and put it into recovery mode (triangle with exclamation mark screen). When I press volume up + camera to enter Motorola Recovery menu, it doesn't work. It's stuck on the triangle screen.

I've done this a thousand times on different phones and I never had this problema before. The battery is full and even plugged in a wall charger it won't work. Has anyone ever experienced this issue? What can I do to make it work?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] droid13:
Downloaded and installed ... Approved. Every day that passes I am more a fan of Cyanogen ...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ROBINGAZI:
Could your friend's phone be on a different bootloader? if this is the case he could have different key combo to get into recovery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Probably a faulty button.

In the handy dandy fixes thread click the install AOR at boot link.

You'll be able to load AOR without using any buttons.

Normally you have to run AOR at least once to enable the function but I get it to work by installing the same temp command file that AOR would with the install OR at boot option found in AOR's froyo menu.

update for OpenRecovery (1.46) to support ext2/3/4 filesystems: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=OR1.46extfs_update.zip

Could anyone enlighten me how to update "AOR" with this?

It's supposed to work because it's based on OR 1.46, isn't it?

So... What to do? ... Do I need to apply the update.zip? ... or unzip it and replace the modules?... In AOR, there are more modules than in the folders provided by this zip!

Sorry but I am a bit lost , and also I wanted to try the ext4 just to know if is as better as it says.... cos' as much as I read about the more lost I get :mad: ... so I 'll try by myself and see what happens ;)

So... Could anyone please sort me out with this process, please.

TIA!

I know that my English is far from perfect, but is the "overwrite the files on your SDcard with the updated/added ones" instruction really so obscure?

how do i make sure apps get installed on my ext4?

i moved some of my apps to my sd i see my sdcard go from 11,77 gb to 11,75 gb

thats not suppose to happen?

and the left side of my screen is lagging behind the right side? if i scroll it looks disoriented

Battery use

Great work kabaldan!

I flashed 11.04.18 in the morning, seems solid as of now.

Although looks like it's eating up my battery. It's not even been 12 hours and I have 15% left now.

Consciously, I've used about 30 min to 1 hour of WiFi use, 10 minutes of Maps, 30 minutes of voice calls, and less than 5 texts. I was an stock 2.2.1 yesterday which gave me nearly 2 whole days of battery life with above average use.

I'm posting screenshots of my battery usage if anyone could help throw in some pointers. I changed OC value to 800 MHz (with set on boot) in CM Performance settings as my device was heating up as soon as I flashed the update. Also using LP, no other change.

Any other idea?

Tnx for help
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quintasan:
Could you explain what was broken exactly? If I understood correctly that TINY_TOOLBOX variable was pointing to wrong location, right?

Also, are there any binary build results which you could put as an update so people don't have to redownload the whole thing?

About your English, PROTIP: Sure it is not perfect (I wonder who can say his/hers English is perfect) but it is not bad either. There are some people who should just fcking learn to use a dictionary or reading and understanding what they just read.

I need to see the logcat of the crash, please post it here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=453
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
mkdir (make directory) was not working - various scripts and also apps failing because of that (even the new folder creation in Root Explorer was not working)

I've uploaded a whole new build because the 7.0.0 release build was online for not so long time yet, and I surely want the people that will be updating only tomorrow and later to flash the corrected build.

To fix this particular issue without any downloading, you can simply delete the /system/bin/mkdir symlink and you're set :).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukasb9000:
What does the symlink mean? Just delet the file mkdir to solve the problem or what? Sry didn't get that

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Chad_Petree:
so this is the final cm7 ? :eek:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Hmm, final...Yes and no.

It's CM 7.0.0 release.

Then there will be CM 7.0.1 or CM 7.1.0... first as RC, later release...

Version marking is overrated, if you'd ask me. Any software contains bugs and not all the desirable features are implemented at any point.

You know, there's either constant progress, or oblivion. Not much between.

is this rom stable??

its slower and less smoother and buggier than cm6

i wiped data/cache/dalvik and flashed cm7 with newest AOR

im getting reboots and games plays less smoother

screen became buggy

my apps arent getting installed on ext4 in my sd

did i do anything wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] osprey23:
Like the latest build. Hopefully there will be no more missing SMS.

Question for the gurus here. When I first wiped the phone and move to this rom, whenever I send SMS, the icon shows a droid, but after I updated the rom with new build, the droid disappeared and now show a blank icon only, see attached screen shot. Is there a way I can get it back without wiping? I kinda like the droid.

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rionline:
i do not know what everyone thinks about ext4. if journaling is enabled...the system gets slower with this filesystem as with ext2.

cm7 slower and less smoother???...no, i cannot confirm this. it responds well on heavy load. we need a bug-free kernel that is all. cm6 has its bugs too.

and i had never a droid icon in my sms app! ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nico101:
@kabaldan can you post list of kernel modules needed by system to run? I don't use ext fs so I know that this module can be disabled but what with rest ? Memmory is precious for me on new CM7 roms I can't even open an mp3 in filemanager (after doing that fm closes and get's me back to the root folder on my sdcard).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
you're using new kernel with DSI bug workarround ^^

try to use old 0.04 kernel (november kernel) & switch off DSI bug workaround in (Cyanogenmod settings > Display > DSI bug )

:D:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
i definetly not recommended to use the older kernel. the new arabic kernel far more stable and have a few issues but the older kernel is very buggy compare to the latest. the DSI workaround cause only screen tearing but it is not much annoying but the older kernel causes random reboot freeze, that is very annoying.

Hi.

Amazing rom.

I experiment one issue with this release (18b) and the previous (rc4).

When you open the default browser and load Google page and enter something on search field and click nothing happens. Still stuck like no connection.

If you do the same search on Google Widget search you Will see all the results.

Anyone experiment this too?

And how fix this?

Hi Kabaldan,

I noticed that the Media Sync option in USB mode is missing. Is there a reason why it was removed?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
My latest experience with the new "CyanogenMod 7.0.0 0.08-11.04.18b (Android 2.3.3)".

I have run a few of the CM7 RC3/4 releases, but I've been reverting to CM6 as it runs rock solid for me.

New option to set sys.keep_app_1= in build.prop works great. I've been using it to keep google listen running, which it does at all costs. It does seem that it is impossible to get Listen to quit on it's own, so I'm not sure yet if it is worth the memory trade-off when I'm not using it, but I'll keep experimenting with it.

Google Maps continues to be trouble. It runs very well right after a reboot, being very snappy and responsive, and also quick to download maps for the screen. However, after the phone running for a few hours, opening Maps becomes frustrating as it lags... it will crash sometimes, but usually it just runs very slowly. Using the search is difficult. At another user's recommendation, I have tried turning of the GPS functions, and then opening maps which does make it run much better. But as soon as you enable GPS, its back to slow. Rebooting always puts you back to running great.

If there is a log file (or running Log Collector) would help, let me know.

Otherwise, things seem good. Generally snappy and fast... Like I said earlier, CM6 runs great for me, but I like the feature-set of CM7 better, so I always keep coming back!

Thanks for all the effort that is being put into this...

WHY IS LAUNCHERPRO Slow in opening and closing?

I know someone is gonna answer with something that will make me feel stupid, but still :)

I just moved from CM6 to Froyomod to CM7. I LOVE it. But it feels HEAVY for sure. For example, opening and closing Launcherpro is very heavy, unlike CM6 and Froyomod. Is that normal?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
I'd say it's a little less zippy on CM7 than CM6, but I wouldn't exactly say it's sluggish. I run with no more than 5 screens but usually 3, one or two widgets like news and weather, and set my LP memory usage preset (Preferences > Advanced) to very low.

I've just had my milestone apart to fix the power button and it was WELL FURRY IN THERE! Lol.

Anyway.

Is there any way to customise the time at which the wifi sleeps beyond just screen off and never when plugged in?

Having switched it to sleep when screen off for the first time ever I am flabberghasted to find that I now get 30 to 40 hours battery life on both the 04/10 and the 04/18b roms so I'm wondering if there is a way to tell it to only wake up the wifi adapter when an app is requesting a data connection regardless of the sleep state of the phone? Having the wifi sleep when the screen is off means I miss emails untill I manually wake the phone and thus wake the wifi...

I'm thinking this will give a better balance of mails/widget/app updates received to battery life than just a choice between 15 hours with every single update and 40 hours with no updates while only using wifi.

Whatever this wifi chip is, it takes up a ton of power.

I wish I understood how to code this stuff for myself.
