Battery Life....

I was having battery life issues with the 022411C build and hence switched to 030511 built by retaining the data.img from 022411C (all standard versions), but last night my battery went from 55% to 4%. Any suggestions?

Thanks to cope, warren & everyone for all the work done on this SD build to get it working successfully for most of us here..........

Running 120311 on a 080311 data.img and 3g is silky smooth.

Only issue is Angry Birds crashes (never installed b4) remember reading something about SD ages ago but can't find it?

Hi there... some feedback about the widescreen camera. It seems like depending on what language you're using the layout of the camera app menus gets distorted (fonts too big causing issues). Also it seems like the settings menus in the video camera are hard to use... maybe it's only for me but check it out.

There's a thread about it here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=975196

About GPS

I am on 10/03 build, stock 3.14 WM ROM. First start of GPS and navigation is ok, but in second use of GPS and navigation, location service is not working.

In my logcat i found:

GpsLocationProvider W Filed to enable location provider
navngo E GPSFunctors: isGpsProviderEnabled=true
GpsLocationProvider E set_position_mode failed in startNavigating

My battery life is excellent 60 h normal use and I still have 16% thank you for nice work. My radios are always off except 2g/3g and I am using "system panel lite" to manual kill running apps before device lock.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
yes data counters work fine in our build.

they do not work on mccmjoons gingerbread (which is actually OUR BUILD, just ripped off from us, and modified... and not modified well either.. as you can see.. even data counter apps wouldnt work)

YES the kernel supports extended battery... i think.. may not be 100% sure, but I believe that info is in the first post somewhere.

Another great build, top stuff

Not sure if this has been mentioned, my led light remains on from start up, any way of swiching it off?

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
One of your apps might have gone crazy.

Get CurrentWidget from Android Market and check your battery drain.

In Standby it should stay under 10mA/h.

If it is above that level you have an app running that drains your battery.

Get a task manager aswell and when you find the drain is high, use it to check which apps are running.

That way you can find the culprit.

Having Wifi, Bluetooth or GPS on could also drain your battery.

If you don't need it you should also use 2G mode instead of 3G since 3G needs more power.

If you don't expect any calls at night put your phone into "flight mode".

Charge your phone over night and you will always start the day with a fully charged battery.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
It has been mentioned. Countless times.

Take some time and read a couple of pages in this thread.

Especially the first page. Thoroughly. Oh and while you're at it, also read the FAQ.

You could try "LED me know" app from Android market.

Pluggin in and out the charger cable also turns off the LED. Don't know if it has to be connected to a PC to work or if connection to the wallcharger is enough.

There are also other methods to be found in this thread. Don't know how they work though, since I am happy with the LED me know solution.

Feed back after a week-end…

Hi guys,

I'm back for small report.

For the remaining problems I read lastly, here's my experience :

- data drop : no problem about that, for a week-end use, I have no problem with this point for now.

- gps unconnectable : no problem either. Maps & Navigation work without any lag or problem.

- my previous lockscreen problem [with the previous version only] : now, the lockscreen works [with the version 10 march, my device never locks].

- batterie life : erm…not better or worst. Same results for me.

- data consommation : I dunno if my phone wanna connect with Google server, but the data icon is quite always green. =\ [and my consommation increases a lot]

That's all for now. =]

Battery Life

I Installed yesterday the 03/12 with an new and fresh data img - very good build

Everythings work fine and stable. This is the first Rom who i dont have a WiFi Drop.

GPS works fast - a found a Signal after 1-2 Min.

The new Camera ist great and look pretty good.

All apps works great on this Build.

...but a have 10-12 ma drain on Standby and this is a little bit 2 much.

Adanced Task Killer works in the background all other (WiFi, GPS, 2-3G) are off..

and YES a Reboot a couple times :-D

Anny solutions?...

Thanks and keep up the great work - nice build!
[HD2 Android SD Development] t-mizzle:
Lose the task killer, reduce your display brightness, pick a darker static wallpaper and always wait for a few days/reboots before you try to measure power drain.

MMS problem outside USA

Hi! Copes or Warrenb, I have the same problem with MMS. I'm from Spain, and it seems that the build works better with t-mobile users. I opened a post on this build in "htcmania" because I think It´s the best I have tasted.

Only do not send or receive MMS. The APN is well. I lowered the maximum message size to 300 k in GOsms but I have not found a way to do it in the native message application. Does not work to connect and disconnect the 2G and WiFi connection .

You are the best ;). I hope to find solution to the problem. Thanks:confused::confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] naoussa:
Thanks

i will try but i dont think this is a solution.

I use mccm build before warren fix the camera tint an a have only 2ma on his build - but i hope warren fix this whit the new kernel.

Wow, just made a FIX permissions after another random reboot only to be greeted by an unending wave of FCs, what a great feature... :mad:

It also gave me the wipe data Info, the one where you can hit -"I feel lucky".

If I make a call I'll lose my 3G Connection - I did not have this problem withe the 03/05 Build.

Any Solutions?

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] happyfree:
Great build

After one-day use, this new build seems to be equivalent to my "old" version: it's very fast but I still have the data drop issue (it appears when I go from a 3G to a 2G area).

Anyway, I'd rather have the latest version of Android. And if I understood correctly, it will be easier to change the build next time without having to install my apps!

Does someone have an idea where is the option to block an unknown call (as it is written in the changelog)?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
I am on the March 12 build, and have to say battery drain is simply amazing. It drains so slowly compared to the last builds. I did create a new Data image, but that was actually unintentional, as I deleted my old one by mistake. But after setting it up again, I have to say perfection...

I will say I am having the known GPS issues, but I wont dwell on that...

oh man, what a monday... :(

Data issue…

GPS & MMS

Hi

I still cannot send or receive MMS. See post 2174 from Deviljf.

I changed the gps.conf file as well as my startup.txt file to match my country code za. GPS works perfectly the first time I use it. When I try to use it a second time it does not find a GPS lock unless I reboot the phone. Then again afterwards it does not work again.

Are there any solutions for this as I do not want to reboot my phone every time I need to use GPS.

Ronny.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Luke15153:
How long do you wait for GPS getting a fix?

It may take several minutes until the receiver has collected the data it needs. (almanac ...)

This morning I have to wait about 5 minutes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] t-mizzle:
No disrespect but...

mccm never had a build of his own. it was copy of cope and warren so you had that low power drain form cope and warren.

The power drain reading of 2mAh is very, very circumstantial. Don't seriously expect to reproduce it consistently just as I seriously doubt you could consistently maintain it. There are simply too many variables to accomplish that.

This is the end of my reply to you, the rest is observations, conclusions and a personal rant directed in general direction of things I dislike on this thread:

We all expect the new kernel to improve things but nitpicking about power drain is a bit too much nitpicking to be doing.

I doubt that any one of us, including myself, is able to maintain all the same parameters, even over 24 hours to draw conclusions.

Personally, I can't imagine myself ever having the nerve to ask, much less demand.

Here is an idea, everyone that insists on dropping the idle power drain by 1 mAh, should make 1 donation for each mAh they want it lowered by or hit your inner mute button.

Rant mode: on

I am tired of crying babies having high expectations as if the devs here are on their payroll. These same babies troll every page with LCD density, LED status and angry birds SD card moving questions. What's even worse is that the questions are still patiently answered by our awesome devs and members. But the #%$# keeps happening on every page for ^%#^%# 250 pages already! If you are too lazy to read the faq, at least have the decency to read the previous page! Chances are, it's been answered for the 16328th time.

No, I am not a know it all, I wasn't born knowing everything, I was guided by common sense, I spent a little time to read the faq and the thread. If I am getting frustrated by this, I can only admire Cope and Warren because it must be extremely demoralizing to deal with it day in day out.

Rant mode: off.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go shake a baby.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
QFT, I have felt the same way multiple times and I have even been called out on it like I'm the bad guy. Some of these idiots couldve easily copy and pasted the exact question they posted in the search bar and got their answer. Then there are some people who should not be messing with custom roms on their phone at all.

Now in their defense there are two major obstacles people come across in this thread that even I have to admit. One the intro text that links to the almighty FAQ is tiny. It's cool, Cope wont change it, whatever, I dont care personally. But I'm sure that is a big reason that people skip/miss/ignore it. Second, this build is globally used, so ESL is playing a big part here.

Common sense however is multilingual so believe me you are not the only one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] happyfree:
Thank for your advice.

I think the Blacklist allows us to specify only specific numbers. In my case, I want to block all the unknown calls. So, I will have to use your app on Market but I hope it's not too much battery consuming....
[HD2 Android SD Development] t-mizzle:
Right on. English is my fourth language so I am aware of English proficiency problems. While it may be difficult it's not impossible to reverse the process of asking the question to reading the answer though it's not always possible.

There is also the issue of "geek speak" that can make it worse. For example, in one build there was the missing GPS file. The solution suggested was to get the file and put it in root/lib/hw. If you didn't have these folders on the SD card, you obviously have to make them. From Cope's perspective, it's a no brainer, like a reflex. I figured it out but for a poor non English speaking member, it's a difficult puzzle.

As for the front page font, it's not an issue for me but it could be for others.

The problem is that the answers are continually repeated in regular font as well. I am annoyed by this "let's just shoot for the last page and post" mentality.

Maybe I am wrong for expecting readers to "man up". Though I feel like some folks deserve to be irreversibly relegated to winmo 6.5 to gain a better perspective. I fear that if this escalates, Cope and Warren may simply give up.

At that point, most would likely get the much needed reality check but the cost of ruining a great thing.

When I picked up the case and spare battery yesterday, T-Mo guys annoyed me, tried too hard to sell me a Vibrant. It felt really good whipping out my phone and showing off 2.3...
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
I could write it in Polish, but ... who wants to learn a new language ? :)

I personally admire Cope for his optimistic nature which lets him not being downed by repeating combo: Led/Battery/AngryBirds

It's up to you guys - to maintain order here. I seriously stopped answering on /led/battery/angrybirds questions. Moreover - I stopped answering questions at all.

Dedicated bugtrack system is not an option here - voluntieers with ticket/incident/software development/ skills are quite rare this days.

Hi Straynart,

Seing that you are french with Orange just like me ... i'd like to know if you managed to have your mms working properly ?

I tried to change the User Agent to Android-Mms/2.0 or to HTC_Dream With no success, i also tried lot of APN settings..., i even tried to change the mms.apk... and i was only able to send/receive MMS once, but can't reproduce it...

Maybe can you pm me your settings ?

Oups I spoke too soon...

Actually, I rebooted my phone and then some apps that I deleted before have been reinstalled on their own!

And what is more worrying is that now my memory space is full (I had 200 Mo free before, now just 1 Mo free) even though the apps reinstalled do not occupy 200 Mo :(

What is my problem?

Do more widgets on homescreen spend the battery juice faster?
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
I can recall a similar problem a few builds back, the data.img appeared to be occupied to almost 70% when I came from a 500mb img and did not add any apps since then. Somehow it had lots of apps twice in system/data/apps (not sure, but there, where all the apps installed are located). They were not identical though, it appeared to me like the previous version of most of the apps...

Could it be that the backup function caused this?

Also talking about that, how should that actually work?

Just before I deleted my data.img to create a new one, I somehow expected that my apps would be there after the creation process as I did not touch sd-ext but they werent. I had to do a standard TB restore like I always do. Clearly it cant have any function when you keep the data.img, right?

Then on the other hand, I killed my install with the FIX permissions, maybe that messed with the backup function as well...?

No flame, I am just curious to know what I am missunderstanding or doing wrong :)

BTW, on the other SD now, everything smooth so far, I will report back...

Good question... I am under the belief it does but not nearly as much as I would think. of course a good way to test that is to use the current widget which has logging built in with a nice graph function. use it for a day and check the logs to compare against not using the extra widgets for a day.

i dont think that mms has ever worked in france on our build.. and I think it is due to incorrect mms provider settings. Can one of you please verify that the apn settings match those of your provider and get back to me?

if we have to change the settings in apn-conf.xml we will do this tonight.
