Full Wipe

I know it's in a pain in the ass but I highly recommend that those of you who are experiencing issues with GPS, data or battery do a full wpe and a mean a FULL wipe.

The past few days I've been experiencing a few issues, data and gps specifically. Yesterday I decided to de-lazify myself and flash back to stock, formatted SD card and all. I rerooted and flashed CM7. I usually use TIBU to retore apps+data (I NEVER do system). This time though, I restored the apps only and not data. I basically wanted everything fresh, as close to an out of box experience as I could get. Well after doing this my data speeds are more consistent and my GPS locks within a few seconds (the icon no longer disappears). Although it's only been about 24 hours my battery life seems better as well.

This will probably keep me from flashing everyday but I'm sure I'll have more consistent performance :cool:.
[HTC Inspire 4G] KaLiBLeeK:
+1.

This is why I quit flashing the nightlies :) I refuse to flash ROMs over old ROMs without doing a full wipe first. I approach things kind of like my desktop/laptop; I never trusted installing Windows 7 over Windows Vista, or something like that...because the chance of something getting fudged up seemed far too great. Spending a bit more time on the front end to make sure everything installs cleanly has usually proven to be worth it. Especially since there are plenty of tools/apps available that allow you to backup your apps/settings and restore them after you've installed a new ROM.

As an aside; is Gmail formatting fixed in this most recent nightly? Haha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] daandman:
How do you do a FULL wipe? I usually wipe data & dalvik-cache.

Also, should I flash gapps? The 1st post says we can, but isn't really clear about whether or not we should.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
If I use a nav app like waze, google maps, the initial start of the program doesn't turn the GPS on for me. I have to back out or exit and start it again. Then it works. GPS status doesn't do that. Like something isn't telling to app to initially turn the GPS on. I did a full wipe before flashing the other day. Not sure what would cause this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
I think everyone who runs CM7 has experienced this. I wonder if this has been submitted to CM team on their website.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
I feel better knowing that it isn't just me. :D Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] KaLiBLeeK:
If you don't flash gapps, you don't get the Android Market...so I'd advise flashing it.

Wiping data/dalvik should cover you; I've been using this, it's a clockwork flashable zip that saves you the trouble of going through all the menus and wiping everything manually:

[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I am really concerned about the poor battery life. In exactly 1 hour I've drooped 20% battery. In that hour I streamed some music, browsed a few websites, and made a 3 minute phone call.

I have tried multiple radios, clearing cache/davlik-cache/battery stats and no improvement. The battery life is good when its sleeping, but when I use it its pretty terrible. The big hitters seem to be cell standby and android system. When I was stock, the big hitter was always display.
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
Also true for me

And what settings do you use for really nice battery (not just in cpu, but in other areas as well).
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
I use the built-in cpu controller. 1.2 and on demand work best for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigt305:
I was also going to ask whoever's getting good battery life to post their Cyanogenmod performance settings. And what overclocking/underclocking options are recommended for the Inspire on at&t, if anyone has an opinion.

I just got off a 30 minute phone call in which the battery dropped from 84 to 65. I'm a fan of this mod but the battery drain is pretty bad. I'm on the stock radio from the Super 1-Click root application.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
I'm on Nightly 39 and voice search has been working well for me thus far.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Any discussions on fixing the excessive battery drain? I get up to 50% for cell standby. With other rooms like coredroid and stock cell standby is maybe 3%. and I know it's not misreporting because battery life in cm7 is so much worse than coredroid and stock.

I really love the speed look and feel of cm7 but I need better battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
I'll say I tried CoreDroid for 2 days and the battery life wasn't much better in my case.

Also as far as the battery usage goes IMO thinking logically Cell Standby SHOULD be larger than the display esp if you haven't used the display a ton. Your phone is always receiving signal and in standby mode a lot when not receiving data/calls. CoreDroid ROM told me earlier my display was using 60%+ of the battery when I had hardly used the phone due to work load today. However the cell standby should of been much higher due to low signal at work. I don't think what it displays as the percentages has anything to do with the life of the battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
Are you dropping calls or just losing audio? I found that I was hitting the hold button when I put the phone to my ear.

Its in an odd place, that is probably why. Other than that, I'm just as clueless as you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
My wife and I can go a couple days between charges in an edge service area. Hsdpa is when the battery is getting killed. I caught mine hopping between umts and hsdpa (not just the icons) and that will certainly kill the battery. I'm on the popular dhd .27 m3 radio right now. Seemed to do good yesterday. Well see today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alvinswim:
I'm getting decent battery, as long as stock would be.. after 17 hrs yesterday i was down to 25%

and yesterday was a very very heavy email day on 2 gmail and 1 exchange. also a few hundred texts

oh also I'm in an all HSPA area, had some fluctuations to regular 3G during the day.. but its new york city..

overall i think the batt life is decent.

Last night my battery dropped from 29 to 4 overnight. The only widget I have going is fancy widget, same as when I was running sense. I've calibrated the battery and have been running it for a few days.

On sense I would lose between 5-10% overnight. Same widgets and all. I'm using the stock radio currently. I'll give it a few more days and then will test the generic gb radio. I have run other gb roms with this same radio and had great battery life.

I restored my apps and only certain app data...along with things like clock..contact settings etc. Only essential things...didn't restore any system settings...and my GPS is a champ now ...locks fast.

Forgot to add this was with titanium backup
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZOMBIES!:
Christ, I'm do confused when it comes to rooting, but I need clear instructions on the process. Everyone says use attn1 hack kit but its all in a different language to me plus. I this is being done on a MAC.
[HTC Inspire 4G] daandman:
Ok, I did a full wipe & restored my apps with TIBU, but not data. I still can't get a good lock with the gps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I'm going to have to disagree with you. The biggest battery killer by far in a any modern smartphone is the display. Of course, if you are in an area with a horrible signal, and it is constantly polling for a new signal, your cell standby might be higher than normal.

In my case, I was running CM7 I had a fully charged battery and reset my battery stats. I then proceeded to use my phone on and off for a few hours, in my house while connected to a strong wifi and a strong ATT connection. The cell standby was still significantly higher than display and everything else. When I was using the phone, I could literally see the battery drop a percentage point every few minutes of light browsing.

I then repeated the test running stock as well as CoreDroid. The display was the biggest battery drain by a huge margin. Cell standby was like 3-4%. My battery life was substantially better too.

So something in CM7 is causing hige battery drain because of the radio. Here's one theory. If you look at a stock Inspire or running CoreDroid, and go to Settings > wireless & networks > wi-fi settings. Then press menu > advanced. There is an option there called "best wi-fi performance." when I tried that setting when I was stock, I noticed significant battery drain while browsing the web on wifi, similar to what i see on CM7 now. Looking into what that setting does, it's known to be a huge battery drain (and even says so when you enable it.) The reason I mention this is because that option doesn't even exist in CM7. I don't know if it is hidden, or maybe only available with Sense. I'm wondering if CM7 has that setting turned on by default, and there is no way to turn it off? That would explain why I see a huge battery drain on wifi, but battery drain why sleeping is very minimal (like 3% overnight).

Does anyone know if "best wi-fi performance" is somehow enabled on CM7?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tankers:
I seem to be dropping calls more than I was with a stock based ROM. That and an apparently weaker Wifi signal strength have been my only complaints.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
I for some reason am not seeing this "HUGE" battery drain that you are.. I get 20+ hours out of my battery. I am on wifi when ever available and bluetooth is always on. Now I know we may be totally different users but I am constantly on my phone for whatever reason whether its checking emails or txt msgs or gtalk or taptalk ... then we have to add in angry birds when I get board or actual phone conversations.. but am getting better life with CM7 than say gingerbread sense roms where I am really lucky to get 12 hours out of them, even if I strip sense out of those roms. This is why I keep coming back to CM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Are the specs in your sig still up to date, with respect to CM version, radio version, and kernel?

I was running CM7 and have tried multiple radios, but not that one, because when I flashed it originally it killed my HSUPA. I tried the default kernel and the LordMod kernel as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
The radio specs are yes. I am on #39 nightly now and as for kernel its whatever installs with it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] juannicolas:
HI!!

First of all, I love CM7 and I will thank all the people who contribute with this project. Keep the good work.

Now, my question, I bought a HTC Inspire and I loved it but I don't know which radio version to us. I roote my device already using bubbys simlple root and right now have RADIO-26.06.04.06_M.

I was researching about he radio battery usage and I found this page with a lot of radio versions:

I would like to know, with my device and CM7 what would be the best radio version to install or use. I don't want to try any and brick my phone. I would very much appreciate the input about this from all you gurus.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
Use stock radio or even 26.06.04.14 is a great radio as well for me anyways.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
In my case, it's dropped calls. Don't know if it's my cheek hitting the end button or the network. Seems to be happening frequently though, not so far today so we'll see.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tmt64:
I thought i was dropping a lot of calls at first but it was actually my cheeks hitting the end call button. I even blacklisted a couple of numbers by accident by holding the button down... make sure your ear is covering the Proximity sensor so the screen turns off properly against your cheeks.

Btw what's the recommended radio for cm7?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
This makes sense and may very well be my probably. Oddly enough when I purposely tried to drop a call with my cheek I wasn't able to.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tmt64:
Haha I tried to do that too. It only drops when you're not paying attention i guess
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Maybe I will try that radio again even though it broke my HSUPA last time. Have you updated your RIL files are or you running the ones that came with the ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] daandman:
I still can't figure out what's wrong with my GPS. I've re-flashed lots of times with a full wipe & the issue keeps coming up. I thought maybe it was from the restore since every time I initially flashed CM7 the GPS worked great, so I restored just apps with TIBU & no data, and still the GPS messed up after that.

So I tried again without TIBU & just installed apps all manually. GPS was working well for a while, but at some point it had trouble getting a lock within under 500 meters. So it looks like it's SOME individual app that's causing it, but I don't know how to narrow it down any further - installing each app individually then checking the GPS would just take way way too long.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kaimie:
Whats a good APN setting for this rom? My network keeps switching from H to 3g. I'm using whatever radio they suggested for the Android Revolution 4beta
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
I had that radio and had the same issue with cm7. Switched to the .27 m3 radio and it has been awesome for me so far. Google cyanogenmod wiki ace and it has the radios right there in p98img.zip files ready to go.

Have someone walk around with you and repeat everything your phone says really loud.

Or check out the kernal with the audio boost. There is really nothing that can make the system speaker louder, only the headphones.

im only clocking in at 2.2ish but 1.6up so the s-off is working great but i could pull 3.3-3.5 at night before.

my main concern is the GPS lock. thats been my only issue. Im going to update the bat fix posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=984337 but when i used GPS status to find out how well it is locking i and only find 1. im using DPS for BT and hardwire and it seems to work great for hard wire but BT i recommend leaving the volume on the phone a bit lower and controlling with the BT controls. bit of distortion. I used a plantronics voyager PRO+ at work when im bored, but have the moto HD-10 for the gym.

Id prefer a RC over nightlys but id really like the gps fix and possible HP+ fix...

other then that awesome job! Thanks DG!
