I'm coming from the Yoshi rom, and I'm not having any battery drain anymore.

Rom runs fast / smooth. i've flashed the OC kernel works pretty good,

at the moment of writing i'm doing the following (witch can also be done by users that report battery drain.

use your phone till it says that you need to charge (probably 15%)

now follow these steps:

1) Turn OFF phone

2) Charge till it says it is FULL

3) Start in RECOVERY, here WIPE battery stats

4) RESTART android

5) USE phone heavily. Don't worry if it drops too fast. Use it till the Android system turns OFF automatically

6) PLUG IN your charger, TURN ON android and wait till it is FULLY charged again. (It is better if you don't use the phone at this charging up)

now after disconnecting the charger, you should have 100% for some time.

I hope this works for your battery drain, I did this when I came from yoshi's rom cause I had some battery issues, and guess, it worked for me :)

Now the only issue I have is, when I press on the mobile data icon (in the top bar)

the data-connection goes on and the icon indicates it's on.

But now, when I press it again to disable the data-connection, the data-connection goes away, but the indicater says it's still on, when I press again it goes off, or when I click on any other icon in the topbar, it goes off.

It likes it's a refresh problem?

and I can't connect to wifi that ha a password on it.

It says, connecting, getting IP, disconnected :(

Not sure what's wrong here, hope you can help me out :)

Tethering

Hello again. I just wanted to say that this is the smoothest rom I've ever had on this phone (including the stock cupcake!). I'm having fun just swiping through the homescreen panels! Lol.

Only problem I have is that tethering is not working at all. Neither USB nor wi-fi hotspot. Any feedback about that? Wifi tethering was working on v.2.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
Try thie http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-pdanet-zEij.aspx . This is PDANet, smart program for USB tethering and works without issues on this excellent ROM.

in about an hour cronos 1.6 will be out!!!!!!!

get ready!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
From where you know it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Assuming Cronos 1.6.0 is close to stable without major issues (I'll watch the feedback in the Cronos forum today), I'll try to port tonight when I get home (in 12 hrs from now).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iliaskone:
from his official site.you can look yourself if you click on the first post "thanks to feeyo for ..."

he wrote a post before two hours and he sais that cronos 1.6 will be out in about two hours.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
could you please rephrase your post? i really want to get this. i've been suffering from fast battery drain also and i think we got the same issue. i didn't understand the part where you say something about theme chooser? so a different theme drains your battery? and putting it back to regular fixes it? sorry i haven't played with theme chooser yet so i don't know if there's really an option there that says "Regular". i'm charging my phone right now while off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
This is an interesting post. I am copying it from a guy named MartijnGP from the Cronos forum:

"Cariers for sure make a difference. The phone also uses much more power to maintain radio connectivity in area's of bad reception. Full-power GPRS connections are generally the most power efficient.

Om some cariers, there's a big difference to be seen when you change how the phone looks for carriers. To do this, open the dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* (4636 = INFO). Don't press call. The 'Testng' menu pops up. Select Phone information and scroll down to where it says 'Set preffered network type'. You can change the way the phone scans for signal here.

In order from power efficient to battery raper:

- GSM only = GPRS only, no attempts to connect 3G

- GSM auto PRL = GPRS, 3G or HSDPA, scanning only for known telco's (yes, it knows your telco)

- WCDMA preffered = GPRS, 3G or HSDPA, scanning all available telco's even if it can't connect. Waste of battery.

- WCDMA only = 3G or HSDPA, force a high speed connection, even when it's not available.

I have mine on GSM auto PRL and it connects to G/3G/H. But the radio draws half the power compared to WCDMA prefered, which is the default value. GSM only is great for when you know you really need to conserve battery."

To those suffering from battery drain - at least in my case, whenever I observed unusual battery drain I was always able to pinpoint it on a rogue app, most recently - TuneWiki prevented the phone from sleeping, draining 50 percent of battery overnight (doing nothing).

Hi, I have recently tried cronos rom and is amazing! No problems so far except for a minor one: how i can sync facebook friends (mainly their pictures) with my contacts' list?? Any ideas??

Here are a couple of links to v1.6.0. It seems stable to me with few bugs. There may be an issue with the way the phone switches between 3G/2G/wifi - either that or my network connection is weak tonight due to local weather.

Tethering doesn't seem to work on 1.5.0, tried both usb and wireless with a linux client (ubuntu). Wireless hotspot doesn't activate at all, just responds "error".

Flashing V.160 now.

Looking to have some changes

Flashed (wipe Dalvik cach only) and I think that the speed is not good as V.150

My Videobox app get FC while V.150 did not

The screen on/off is very strange, I don't know how to say but it looks like the way of LCD screen On/Off. --> change setting in Spare part to Fast

Also, the expected Advance Call settings did not have.

is there any one help me to get it ?

wow great rom! really appreciate the fact that the camera is now fully usable. Thanks for all the hard work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nobooya:
I think Sygic FC is rather related to android 2.3, than this rom itself. I have same problem on ezterry's gingerbread and ginger yoshi.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I'm not sure. When Capy and I were working with Feeyo on the cam last September and October, Feeyo was able to get the cam mostly working on Eclair 2.1. His best guess at the time was that there was something that needed to be changed in the media profiles and/or the Camera.apk. Maybe he was right and maybe those changes were made for GB 2.3. For now it's a mystery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I haven't had any problems with it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Do you mean there is a newer version of CM parts / extras out?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liderzre:
What about camera? ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
It works. Take a look at the 1st and 2nd posts. It will tell you the settings you need to make it work.

"This feature is buggy. Here is a work around. Enable 180 degrees rotating by going into CM Extra -> Display -> Rotate 180 degrees (make sure screen off and screen on animation are selected). Reboot. Then enable all window animations by going into Settings -> Display -> Show All window animations. This seems to work most if not all of the time."
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
It's working for a few of us at least. You need to give it a test :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Ok, I will take a look and see if I can update.

issue with 1.6:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Questions. I am still using 1.5 but I don't think it will make a difference for my question.

I read about some games (angry birds) not running while on the sd. Right now when I try to run Angry Birds it FC's. So I thought I would move it to the phone but I don't know how. If I go to the application manager I only have the option to move to SD card I assume that is because it is on the sd-ext and the manager thinks the the SD card is the only option. When I try to move it to the SD card I get an error There is not enough storage left. Not sure why it thinks this as there is a lot of space left on my sd card. My thought was to move it to sd and then move it back to the phone and hope that it would move it to the actual phone and not the sd-ext.

Can some one give me a pointer on how I should be doing this.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I tried something different with the lights to see if I could fix some of the issues. I may have created a problem with the led on charging. I will see if I can figure it out later.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I don't know about Games but some of my apps when I installed into sd-ext, if I go to application/manage, the options is move to phone (with the click in the right). The rest always is move to SD card.

As I remember, with GB rider ROM, I also get this error too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I think Feeyo might have said that wireless hotspot will probably not work assuming we don't get twilan source.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
It's not as easy as that. Someone has to update the Phone.apk. It's on the issue list.

I'll try flashing / pushing an earlier version of the Phone.apk that worked with an earlier GBRider Cronos release but I am pretty sure the phone will not be able to receive or make calls then. It would be great if someone could test this out on their own. If it creates FCs all you need to do is to flash / push the current Phone.apk and your phone will work again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
It means that I need to port the phone.apk from V2 to flash. Just backup the current phone.apk in order to revert right?

Can u give me the earlier version of phone.apk to test now? I deleted the older ROM already

Tks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
To flash v1.6.0 first try wiping dalvik only if you're coming from a previous version.

Also, you'll need to flash carz's 614 MHz kernel listed in the 1st and 2nd posts after you've flashed the rom if you want OC.

Linpak went from ~3.9 with v1.5.0 to ~4.2 with v1.6.0 on my phone using carz's 614 MHz kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I am at work and don't have access to my files or roms. The download link for v2 is in the 2nd post. You could download, unzip/extract the Phone.apk file. You'll then need to push it via adb or put it into an update.zip and flash it. I am not sure if you could use something like Titanium backup to install it over the existing Phone.apk in v1.6.0.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I have a question for people running v1.6.0.

When you're on 3G/2G only, do you get mobile data or do you get network errors?

All others things works also. I have 1.6.0.

I didn't. I was lazy :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
get the phone.apk from V.22, flashed it. But there is no advance setting. Don't know why.

Now I am downloading again V1 to check the phone.apk file.

Tried to push Phone.v30.1.froyo to my phone. It FC at the boot but after that, Phone still can make and receive call (of course, advance setting is available). Just the issue of screen when receive the call (like a box in the middle of screen)

Will check with phone.apk in V1 and feedback soon.

Flashed the phone.apk in V1 and it is same as V.22 and V1.60. So I don't understand why in V.2 I got the advance setting???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
I also did not wipe, and I do not have problems with 3G/LAN.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] milowke:
I'm still on the 1.5 version, and I have an issue with wifi.

I can't connect to wifi that's holding a password :/

It tries to connect, but it disconnects, and tries again, till I shut my wifi connection down.

How can this be fixed? i'm using the CARZ OC kernel.

Thnx in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
You may have to try wiping dalvik and then flashing again. If that does not work a full wipe and then flash may be worth trying.

I am not aware of people having wifi issues with v1.5.0.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] milowke:
Ok thnx, will try that :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
I think it is an issue with your router.

I am on 1.5 and my router has a password and I don't have any issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] milowke:
I have it everywhere :(

But i'm going to try what giant_rider said :)

I hope that it will fix my problem :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
Exactly, full wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
That is the known bug with wifi and data in the 1.6.0 release only.

To make sure you're not transfering data via 3G and eating up your data plan, you may want to turn off data/3G/2G before you turn on wifi using a widget.

I've got a led problem in 1.6

The led doesn't work anymore, (not even for charging) but if I have a missed text the trackball keeps flashing. Are there notification settings hidden somewhere, or is this a problem with the rom?

Did a full wipe before flashing.

Also, if you're still interested in fixing the backlit buttons, they light up for me after I change the screen brightness. But if I turn off the phone, they don't light up anymore unless I change the brightness again. Don't know if that'll help, but I didn't see anyone else mention it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
Excellent ROM. Space management is nice. Fast overall.

I'm only having problems with battery drain - very fast even if idle. From full charge, 1 minute unplugged = 99%. 5 minutes goes down to about 90%. 1 hour to 80%, and so on. Idle all the time. I have tried everything. Full wipe, remove SIM, sd card, and battery, recalibrate battery in almost all permutations. Maybe it's the radio? I'm on hboot-1.76.2007, radio-6.35.16.19, recovery-ra-magic32a-6.35-v1.6.2 through RadioSwitcherGUI v4.0. My previous ROM was the Cyanogenmod 6.1 so from the 3.22 radio. Was I wrong to RadioSwitch it straight? Is there like an intermediate step before changing to my current ROM? Anyway, I also erased recovery, userdata, system, boot, cache before flashing the new radio. I also had the SD card formatted before flashing the ROM. Another guess is my phone keeps on searching for signal abnormally. Many times I would just lose signal from full bars being geographically stationary. Will try to uncheck/check everything under the Wireless menu (2G to 3G, data, search for network, airplane mode, etc.). Only reboot would bring back the signal. Sometimes, "No SIM card" would also appear. Reboot is the only solution and it's a hit and miss thing still.

So, is it the radio? The kernel? The room? Or I just did something wrong?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
I also tried the *#*#4636#*#* thing. I noticed when I go to the (hidden) Menu, options are Automatic, Europe, Japan, Australia, and US. I'm from Philippines and I don't know what to choose so I select Automatic. This would still not bring the signal back. I would then choose different "radio bands" (i forgot what it's called). WCDMA preferred is the default. I would try GSM/CDMA auto prl and others. It's again a hit and miss thing in this part. Sometimes after choosing a different band, I would have to switch on/off data for the signal to come back. But after sometime, I would lose it again. I also notice that the setting always reverts back to WCDMA preferred everytime I reboot.
