Do you know how to get theme chooser installed on this rom? I have been trying to find a way. Maybe I just missed something easy though.

[Nexus S Android Development] cpitzu:
huge battery drain

i've been using nscollab ever since it came out and it was and still is rock solid. over the past 3-4 days i've had nasty problem - the battery get's drained overnight :mad:

last night for example, at 2AM i had 71% and this morning, at 8AM (just 6 hours later!!!) my battery was at 0% :confused:

now i can't see what draining the battery as i start the phone with the cable pluged. in stats there is nothing wrong - i have the same old percentage for the different services.

does anybody have any idea how i could debug this. i don't think it's battery related (i'll check the battery today on a professional testbench just to be sure) nor hardware. probably it's something software related - i have ~30-35 apps installed - same apps i've always had, even before this strange issue.

any help is more than welcome as i am puzzled by this issue.

PS: i don't want to do a complete wipe and reinstall everything. i've done a wipe cache and all other usual stuff that people know of. i need some "professional help" if a may say so :p
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Try wiping battery stats,long shot bur I got better battery life after doing it and go through all your apps and stop letting them retrieve stuff like Facebook refreshing and news notifications,something is over hauling your phone

I use system panel to keep an eye on misbehaving apps and when it comes to the data misbehaving your going to have to find the hog also if you went into latitude you must sign out properly for it to stop running,good luck and please report back when you get it

I'm getting an issue where after receiving a phone call, the phone freezes. Bah! Everything else is great though. 1.2Ghz ondemand works pretty well. Smartass governor for me is still variable in speed and sometimes unresponsive.
[Nexus S Android Development] 3rdcoast:
Slow to fully wake up WiFI?

Great ROM so far with livable battery life.

But, when waking up the phone in an area where I have WiFI the phone quickly wakes up WiFI but I won't have full networking for up to a minute. The colour changes to green when it's ready but in the meantime I might have already opened an app that either stalls or times out due to no networking. If I wait longer it works fine.
[Nexus S Android Development] eiabea:
have you tried to change the wifi settings under advanced --> always on?
[Nexus S Android Development] AndrewWalker613:
I installed the kernel and I cant open the CPU governer anymore through the cpu settings. are you using setcpu or something?

Everytime I click it, it FC's saying cyanogenmod had failed.
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Some ppl had that issue about cyanogen settings not working. But after installing set CPU it started working...
[Nexus S Android Development] 3rdcoast:
I can't find those settings. That is a setting I've done on another ROM (miui I think), it was a suggested setting to improve battery life due to a bug in cell data.

I'm looking in the wrong place or I don't have that setting any longer. I know I've been there on other roms.

edit-> would that setting be available or not based on the installed radio? I'm using XXKD1 which solved the radio dumps I was getting. I'm willing to try another radio if it's suitable for Canada GSM and doesn't dump like I was seeing in weak signal areas.
[Nexus S Android Development] DumbUglyDragon:
Should be available regardless of radios...

Not in here?

Setttings>Wireless & networks>Wi-Fi Settings>Menu Button>Advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy
[Nexus S Android Development] 3rdcoast:
oops, don't I feel like a dufus. That's where it is. I need breakfast.. :)

gracias.
[Nexus S Android Development] eiabea:
sry didn't knew the menu items in english xD

@frank: i saw that "MarkVis" fixed the 2g/3g toggle bug :) is it possible to fix this also in this awesome rom? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] 3rdcoast:
No worries, I forgot where the setting was. I changed radios but have the same problem with a delay before actual data flow. I now have the sleep policy as Never. It would seem that this will lower battery life but we'll see.
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Does having a "screen off" profile in setcpu actually work?. Battery life seems the same. Have screen off profile with 100/400.
[Nexus S Android Development] Tzorg:
Mathkid says that you may actually end up with worse battery and recommends that you don't use setcpu profiles with his kernels.

The kernel should be tuned enough to stay mainly on 100 when idle. You can check whether that's the case on setcpu info tab, time in state.

Some times after flashing too many kernels I see that they don't stay at 100 when idle, an early sign that I need a full data wipe and ROM reinstall :D
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
They will never stay at 100 but will fluctuate around 150 to 250 if using ondemand governor I found that ondemand is the best for battery life because of how it handle the kernel throttle,interactive will give you a little more speed and reaction because it doesn't bring the speed down as ondemand does

For each its own but for a good mix of performance and battery choose ondemand and for performance choose interactive or if you really don't care about battery choose performance,it will keep your CPU at the Max

Try them all and find what suits your needs
[Nexus S Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
would be awesome to see nightly 207 or later included because they finally fixed the 2G/3G toggle!!!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
My buddy here at work is happy to hear the 2g 3g toggles been fixed I personally don't use it because I either shut my data off or on but those who have a very restricted data plan use it
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
I just took of the profile in setcpu. Cuz i noticed yesterday that battery dies a little faster when profiles are on.
[Nexus S Android Development] gioyann:
Did use "on demand", that was great! But 7.5 is faster as I can feel after few days...
[Nexus S Android Development] sTiCkY88:
my screen turns green every time i turn on the screen..

is it because my brightness is too low or voltage too low?

if it's voltage how do i raise it?
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Use Setcpu to raise the voltages. You can use proton app also.
[Nexus S Android Development] sTiCkY88:
oh great thanks..

raising the voltage doesn't help :/
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Try reflashing the rom, kernel. Wipe data/cache/dalvik
[Nexus S Android Development] slayerXcore:
new update soon to match all the cm7 changes?
[Nexus S Android Development] sTiCkY88:
i've been doing that since 1.0.2x

lol.. doesnt work.. think it's just my screen.. lol..

everything displayed turns green for a split second then back to normal..
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Weird. Send it to samsung. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] eiabea:
should i update to. 41 or is it possible that we will see an update this week? :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] jodtalingchan:
Something to do with voodoo color adjustment.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
This should work, download voodoo app, go into gamma menu, select Alt. Setting

Sent from the future to put right what once went wrong.
[Nexus S Android Development] sTiCkY88:
i tried increasing the brightness.. doesnt seem to happen anymore.. for now.. i set minimum 16.. :/

oh and will try alt settings at the same time too.. :x

Need to flash KD1 radio I think.

[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Been having this since .41 was released, Had it in KD1 and i updated it to KF1, still the problem persists.

Can it be because of the ROM?
[Nexus S Android Development] benrees21:
Maybe but I'm not too sure about radio issues, sorry I can't help more.

[Nexus S Android Development] hachoo:
Finding this ROM less stable for calls, texts with less battery life. Speed wise it seems more nippy though.
[Nexus S Android Development] EonHawk:
I read somewhere once that these get created because of bad signal. That's all I can really remember from the article, but basically, don't worry. Just delete them off the SD. I get these a lot too, and the bad signal might be true, since I spend 60% of my day in an area that has piss-poor signal. I just delete them, every now and again.
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
That explains it as i get very bad signal in college. Thanks!:)
[Nexus S Android Development] rip_noob:
It's up to cyanogenmod and not frank.
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Never ask when updates are going to roll out,LOL...

But it sure would be nice
[Nexus S Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
getting a lot of reboots from texts due to the BLN thing. can't believe almost no one is talking about it here, but people are all over the reboots on the CM7 nightlies threads...

Frank, can you look into the reboots and blinking BLN? Some people say the later nightlies like 209 has fixed some profile stuff to hopefully resolve reboots.
[Nexus S Android Development] zaidaiman:
I'm not sure my sudden crash because of BLN, but all I know is every time I've put up some music or videos for few minutes to probably half an hour later, it will crash.

And oh, extra notes, I've done full wipe, including my storage.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
For now - no crashes, voodoo sound improvement does very good job.
[Nexus S Android Development] SovereigN7:
Just wanted to clarify my confusion with roms, kernels, and basebands.

- Android versions are dependent on the roms (nscollab is 2.3.5), and the 2.3.6 is only available on the stock rom by this thread.

- Baseband (radio) are sometimes dependent but can also be installed via update.zip through cwm

- Kernels are totally independent (assuming they're compatible with the rom).

Is this right?
[Nexus S Android Development] tankmaster90:
I've just had one or two random reboots. So its pretty stable for me, dunno why everyone is having so many problems.

I would say batter life is not up to par as it once was. I think .38 was like my best battery one. But then I've used my phone a lot, to many variables.
[Nexus S Android Development] gioyann:
NEVER, in three intensive-usage days, had a reboot! I'm running this ROM with Matr1x 7.5 and never had important issues.

Battery life seems good, like previous version, but I used the phone too much to have a reliable statistic!
[Nexus S Android Development] akshayf:
Anybody here got a working sim toolkit app?
[Nexus S Android Development] zaidaiman:
Ok, problem lies with undervolting the CPU.

Revert back to stock setting and it turns out fine.

No sorry. Have not had one for a while. Is there not anything on the internet or market?

Anyone uses SetCPU with this ? Any tips or any guidance. I have never used one. But feel like trying it and want to try it :)
[Nexus S Android Development] :
just use cm7 settings performance section made it conservative it works well.if you dont touch the phone it uses 100 mhz instead of 1000.i got 8 day stand by with 40 minute phone talk.
[Nexus S Android Development] kirdroid:
You can overclock it to get better performance. I would suggest toying around with values to see which works best. You can also set profiles to underclock when battery is low\temperature is high or overclock when charging.
[Nexus S Android Development] Wingzer:
Anyway to make the boot animation shorter?

Seams to take forever
[Nexus S Android Development] imneo1:
the boot is slower because of the kernel.

if you want it to boot faster, flush Netarchy 1.2.5
[Nexus S Android Development] Wingzer:
Cheers for the info
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Do not close the phone :) , The Perfect Solution.
[Nexus S Android Development] reddv1:
How long is your bootanimation time? mine is 15 loops. I think it also depends on how many apps you have installed.
[Nexus S Android Development] Wingzer:
I haven't counted but I recon it's around the same maybe a bit longer.

Think I may of just being used to the stock animation being quicker.

[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Netarchy 1.2.5 kernel may improve boot times. 1.2.8 Includes updated voodoo drivers which imo is worth the slightly longer boot times. Will however look further into this.

No NSCollab update requires a wipe. Unless it specifically states that a wipe is required.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
thanks.its not so bad to re install things :)
[Nexus S Android Development] sweetpiggy:
are you sure? com.android.phone go in crash loop when you switch 2g/3g (and vice-versa) with default toggle (in notification, o in widget). It's a cyanogenmod bug :(

factory reset to solve. use the setting page to switch 2g/3g

oh yes....

first problem is the kernel....

second: put all your app in sd, your nexy will boot in 30 sec

yes.... 1.2.5. is faster, or the voodoo kernel

All cyanogen suffer that problem that's just one of many reasons why I love nscollab,Frank has the best of both worlds and it sure makes for an awesome stable build
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Were you running matrix on cyanogen mod while experiencing reboots
[Nexus S Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
im experiencing reboots on NSCollab 41. It's Matrix 7.0

It's not a kernel issue. If you notice the people on the CM7 Alpha thread, people have been getting reboots since 203 or so. It has to do with teh baked in BLN. People get most reboots after texts (I think it happens with GoSMS a lot), and emails.
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
In addition, try v8.0

See if it helps
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Did you try turning it off using the BLN app?, I use handcent and never had the issue. Try going into settings in Gosms and turn off led blinking option.

Think its the voltages, Just means that the kernel was specially modified for this particular ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] akshayf:

2. Add the SDcard speed tweak from Nexus MV

3. Add the HSDPA speed tweak from here

Thanks again :D

Frank was wondering if you could add the new radio KF1 on the next release of nscollab

And if we were to update to the new KF1 radio would we loose the radio tweak,thanks

Edit the answer to that would be yes the tweak is built into the rom

If all goes well, update tomorrow!! ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
frank please make sure you have 212 nightly for the next update. the blinking BLN baked in support is removed. Thus BLN is controlled solely with the neldar app. Too many people have complained about reboots with blinking BLN on CM7.
