Battery......

Hi all,

I have installed the last cyanogen no my milestone, and I have a problem:

I have 2 battery the original motorola battery and another compatible battery.

When I use the original battery the phone recognize it, charge and discharge, and show me correct status,

when I use the compatible one I have always the batteryicon with "?" and no show status of battery,

I have tried with BatteryCalibration, or remove and reinsert battery while charger was connet, but nothing.

someone can help me????

Thank's

You mean this?

It is called PowerTutor.

Try disabling 1% battery steps.

Go to CM settings > interface > status bar tweaks > and uncheck the option.

I think that should work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
I've turned off Network Location and removed SetCPU. But my battery still droped 20% in 6 hours.

WhatsApp seems to used the "most"...

But with that being said, it used only 6 minutes of my 6 hours...

And what's this Google Service could be?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GZ20TT:
Not sure about that - but also maybe check your sensor usage.

A few pages back I had the dialer sensor going for 10 hours overnight that drained my battery a fair bit.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Like I said b4,the cause for draining my battery while the phone is idle are Whatsapp and Minimalistic Text.

I have tried Whatsapp once but it turns out I have more friends on Android using Talk and friend using Gmail chat or Gtalk chat client on their PC.

I have been influencing alot of friends to get Android just so I can use Talk to send them msg (I have paid for unlimited data already) instead of SMS.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
20% in six hours is good.

5x6 = 30hours

So, kabaldan´s phone digitizer is broken? Nice time to donate some money :)

Look:

http://phandroid.com/2011/06/22/gin...-atrix-4g-brings-fully-unlockable-bootloader/

"motorola starts unlocking bootloaders"

Maybe there is a way to port to other phones... who knows.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kv1dr:
He said that his battery drops for 20% in six hours when idle. So, his phone would works on battery for 30 hours only if he didn't use them.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kv1dr:
I read on this forum, that motorola says, the motorola's phones, which gets updates in Q3 of 2011, they will also gets unlocked bootloaders. I don't think Milestone will get any updates. But who knows. Hope dies last.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Same here, dont think moto will release milo unlock, but others phone unlock could help understand the process.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Original Droid (US version of Milestone) has the bootloader unlocked at the first place.

If the Suxkorola really starts unlocking bootloader as promise, it's no harm to unlock all the way back to the legend one - the one which saved them from bankrupt

But who knows...let's see

Need to see the real thing rolls out before believing in them
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] percival_74:
Same here.

And sometimes, instead of default ringtone, another one (not assigned for that contact) rings...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
It is not. I believe Bryanchung said it drained 20% for doing nothing during his sleep when he wasn't using his phone at all.

I recalled in previous RC version that first came with the 1% percentage, my overnight battery drain for me after 7 hours 30 minutes was only 8%.

So to have 20% battery drain while you are sleeping is not normal.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Have you assigned custom ringtones with standard android ringtone picker or other apps? Because:

(content: method) If I use the default android ringtone picker: 50% correct ringtone and 50% default one

(file: method) If I use TonePicker and then select tones with Root Explorer: 50% correct ringtone, 20% default one, 30% custom ringtone assigned to previous caller

Note that all my ringtones are in ogg format and located in system/media/audio/ringtones with correct permissions

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] w4tchout:
Hi all,

I made the jump from CM6 to CM7 and must say I really like the new features. I've got one problem that might make me go back to CM6 if I can't resolve it:

Ever since I'm on CM7 RC10, the phone randomly loses signal and prompts me for the sim code again. Problem is as long as I don't enter that code, the phone won't have any signal.

Also: after booting it takes the phone about a minute to prompt me for the sim code and for the SD card to be initialized. I found out I can manually make it prompt by pressing the "dial emergency number" button on the lockscreen. As soon as it shows the dialpad it prompts me for the simcode to unlock the simcard.

Am I the only one with this silly problem? Does anyone have a solution at all??

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Did you flashed the proper baseband file for your country?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] w4tchout:
I haven't changed my baseband as I am in Europe (Netherlands). Apparently the right baseband should've already been applied to the rom right??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Don´t know, I was using another baseband.

But you wont lose nothing trying :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] w4tchout:
I flashed the German baseband, still the problem persists :(

Any other suggestions??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
When I first switched from CM6 to CM7 I had plenty of problems. A "simple full wipe" did not help, I also had to format the SD-Card, but after that everything worked fine.

I put music and pictures back in place on my SD-Card, but nothing else. As far as Apps go, I installed all of them from scratch, just to be sure.

It worked for me, but it is a lot of trouble as you have to apply OR again (it was stored on SD-Card).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Nothing here :(

Maybe is missing some frequencies.

You could try with "only 2G" option, to see if the problem persist.

A full wipe is recommended when switching roms.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] w4tchout:
Hmm, you might be right. I didn't format the SD-Card in the hope I wouldn't have to re-install all of my apps again.. I'll probably give that a try in the hope the problem goes away.. Cheers for your help :)

edit: ok, tracked the problem down. The problem has to do with Zeppelinrox's Supercharge script. Apparently the aggressive setting was a bit too aggressive. It apparently killed the service responsible for connectivity..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Yeah you are correct.

And no, 20% in 6 hours when phone is IDLE is NOT good. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
At most I'd only delete folders that the rom uses.

I don't get why formatting the SD card is necessary
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Does this mean high brightness (if set from the app first) won't work from the notification widget anymore? I'm currently on RC9

Also, can someone explain to me what the importance of the locked bootloader is anymore? How come these custom roms are working now even with a locked bootloader?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Flashlight: Because of wrong condition, the normal brightness was 1 instead of intended 100 - that is fixed in RC10. High brightness is 255. Whether normal or high will be used when invoked from the notification power widget depends on the flashlight setting in power widget options. Before RC10, that option was ignored because of small bug in the widget code.

Custom ROMs and bootloader: When it's locked, we can run only Motorola's official kernel. To fix the dsi bug, only one line change in kernel source was needed. If we could use our own custom kernel, the fix would be exactly that - addition of one line of code. To fix it via module, a kernel hack was needed - over 200 lines of code in use.

To add features like swap support via modules is extremely difficult. If we could be running our custom kernel, it would be as easy as one line change in kernel config.

The same goes e.g. for native usb tethering.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
That's precisely the same error I had!!

I was posting some pages ago, twice about how can I get the logs or the dump to post it to see if it can be helpful, but didn't get any answer.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] anditias:
Yup.. i want to get the logs too :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Interesting. In my RC9, the notification power widget flashlight was working perfectly, using normal or high depending on what I set in the flashlight settings.

Another quick question, does a nandroid backup backup apps that were moved onto the SD card?

Problem with mails

If i write a email in my phone, they never can send... someone have the same problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] w4tchout:
So the problem is not entirely due to Zep's script. Tonight I "unsupercharged" my phone, so those settings would be back to normal, and a phone call was still dropped as soon as my phone rang. A few other calls did go through, so it's definitely an improvement over when the script was applied. Perhaps the problem is there all the time, just Zep's script made it happen at all times or so..

I'll investigate further into it to find out what's causing it..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
With CM memory settings, secondary apps are in slot 4 and get killed at 24 mb.

With SC settings, those apps are in slot 3 and get killed according to the script you pick (between 24 and 26 mb in most presets)

Probably multitasking would be better for you (with 22 mb in slot 3)

Then again, you can always use custom settings of your own and figure out what works best for you

Hello my friends. I'm using rc10, upgraded from rc8. My gps is not working on either version, on the navigation app it always says 'searching gps signal' (or something like that). GPS was working on shadowmodbr latest beta.

Please help :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Yeah this is what I called GOOD battery life. Dropped only 8% after 7 hours, compared to dropping 20% after 6 hours, while phone in IDLE.

Only difference with my previous day was, I disabled Toggle 2G app. And manually set my phone to 2G via CM7 status bar. All other settings were the same. So it may not be WhatsApp or SetCPU giving the problem of battery draining. It was simply, 3G activated because Toggle 2G app was not working properly (I supposed due to app being killed with low memory).

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
CM7 RC10 still lags.... it seems CM6.12 is much more snappier ^^
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
where's the source code ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
How to get there (how I did it=the noobie way, no terminal and adb required):

Install "Super Manager" from market.

Click "Settings" and "Enable ROOT function".

Click back, and click "File Explorer".

Click the settings button of your Milestone and click "Switch System R/W" and select "R/W" (= Read/Write).

Then navigate to /cache and long click on the folder "logger" and click "copy".

Then go to root directory and long click on folder "sdcard" (this folder icon looks different than the other folder icons) and click paste.

Now you can mount your sd card to your computer and copy the "logger" folder.

Which files to upload to issue tracker:

Most likely, without reboot its the same filenames without the ".old" at the end. But I guess the files which are to be uploaded vary with the issue.

Its probably better to set System R/W back to "Read Only" after you copied the logger folder to the sd card.

Default android picker, and they're all on SDCard /media/audio/ringtones
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] w4tchout:
update: it also happens when I initiate the call myself. The possibility of the service being killed due to lack of memory doesn't make sense now, as I am the one making the phone switch to the callscreen to make the call. On top of that, there's currently 40MB's of free RAM available. I suspect some kind of conflict which causes the service to be killed or something

ps. in which log would I able to find this occurrence?

Try to set MediaServer persistent and increase the query waiting time

Edit system/build.prop, there are 2 editable lines for making processes persistent, edit this way:

OR, if already set to another app,

sys.keep_app_2=android.process.media

Any help with my problem with the gps not working?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
thats impressive if you're doing only 2G on that. But what I found interesting is that if you're pulling data every 30 min, I'd expect your phone to be awake more..... odd that it's barely awake in your screenshots.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Yup. It was barely awake. :) I do not know why too. But yes, I've set TweetDeck to poll data every 30 minutes.

Hi, I have problem with Cut the Rope. It just closes after loading screen before the first level. Common issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Truthfully speaking, I was having problems with it too. I tried multiple settings using Zep's script and even default CM7 settings. But none could sustain the game memory usage I guess. As you mentioned, it closes after the loading screen. At times, I was able to play a round or two before the game closes.

So because of that, I went ahead to try another ROM. A ROM that I was with previously before I came back to CM7. I wanted to go back to that ROM to see how the performance is. Much to my surprised, the game ran smoothly as per default settings. So yeah... I simply had enough of trying to multitask on Milestone and yet my apps get killed. :(

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
It's strange, because I have no problems with this game on last CM. Yesterday I have finished first part of levels (first box) without any freezes and closes. it works perfectly.

(JIT off, Purging assets on, Lock MMS on, vm heap 16mb, Multitasking preset from SuperChargeV6)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
I have to say that I did not play with JIT and VM Settings though.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
Most games work for me with this settings (even Shadow Guardian HD, but it has to be played with Chainfire3D texture reduction options and there are some problems with big levels due to low memory). It's probably caused by vm heap size - bigger vm heap = more memory needed by one app's virtual machine.

(Text bellow is just my imagination about vm heap construction...)

So if Cut The Rope's vm need 68mb (and we have vm heap size set to 32mb) then we get three vm's instances which every need 32mb - 3x32mb = 96mb. If we can't free this amount of ram memory then app is crashing. If we set vm heap size to 16mb then we get 5 virtual machine instances, but every instance needs only 16mb so - 5x16 = 80mb and it is less then 96mb (as we need only 68mb ;)) and if we have 80mb ram memory free then app will not crash.

If I am wrong (it is very possible ;)) - correct me
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
I see. I've been using VM 40MB with JIT enabled based on Zep's signature settings. :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Paitor:
Thanks, worked with JIT off and vm heap 16mb

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Clearing of agps data solved it for one user at least. See http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=573

No gps/agps issues here. Gps (=when no data connection is available) lock in a few minutes, agps (=with data connection) lock in a few seconds.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
See this commit: https://github.com/nadlabak/android...mmit/5a16de61bdc8275be039a2f7addbcf9233f9cb54 (it will be in build.prop of the next build)

Using these properties (add them to /system/build.prop or /system/default.prop), you can limit the max file size of logs and also disable or enable the single log buffers.

This is repeated from 30 to 60 times every night, at random intervals

In the night I put the phone in airplane mode, and I haven't a data flat so I go online only via Wi-Fi. Is it possible to disable this automatic time update?

I have some problem with the battery life as well.

I bought a brand new battery (the old do the same), did the gauge reset and still I got the following battery life overnight:

5% - 10h 43m on battery:

Phone idle 45%

Mobile standby 34%

Maps 11%

Display 5%

Android System 3%

Android OS 2%

I think it's horrible, especially that it's only a standby result...

In real use the battery can be depleted in a few hours :(

An interesting thing though, If I restart the phone it shows a higher, 60% battery charge.

The rebooting thing usually works only ones, 2nd time the battery always discharge at shown.

Did you try to calibrate your battery with that app:

I'm getting very similar results, battery life 3~7 hours while doing nearly nothing (no 3g, max 2 sms, 10min screen on).

For me this started happening when I flashed some baseband, powertutor gives 40~60% of usage to 3g. And it's showing max power usage over 3g even when the up/down icon's are showing no activity.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
In PowerTutor, u can set it up to show u the last 1 hour, what have been using your battery. You can sort by the 3 way (e.g By average power over 1 day or 1 hour)

Then u can analyse from the chart which process or app is draining the most battery during that last 1 hour or 1 day.
