Hey,

Cell standby is the time that your phone spends on screen off while being connected to the cell network. Try flashing a newer/updated radio and see if that helps improve your power management by the wireless cell signal.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
How do I know what radio to flash and how do I do it? Thanks for your reponse.

Theres a pretty useful (although not necessarily perfectly complete) list of radios.

To install, follow the guide there. Basically just download the file, rename it to 'PC10IMG.zip', put on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader (NOT CWM Recovery). and it will recognize the .zip and accept the update and let it install. Be sure to note before you do this what radio you're currently on and make sure there is a download available so you can go back to it if need be.

Before you do this, its best to look at all other options to see what could be draining battery such as wonky apps, or unused radio connections, or wakelock issues.

Fwiw, I'm on CM7 too and my 'Cell Standby' is generally in the 30%-40% range in my battery stats, but I get very respectable battery life. You should look into other causes of your battery life as well before just jumping into new radios.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostZini:
You need to set more profiles with setcpu. Low battery is a good one but, yeah u need the newest radio. Also need taskiller. Auto kill while phone is off. My battery life is supreme

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Don't recommend task killers. They're worse for battery and performance, especially in 2.3 (GB has good RAM management), than not running them. They spam kill necessary tasks and don't let background processes properly run out.

If you want to weed out the rogue processes, download Watchdog Lite and see which processes are using the most CPU and RAM and try getting rid of the bad ones.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostZini:
You must be kidding. I use Taskiller, and its golden. My phone is fast, no lag, and everything works speedy when i need it. It autokills what i want when phone sleeps, has kill button widget to kill things constantly tryin to run. You freaking crazy.

I had my phone running all day at 1.2ghz and used it heavily from 7am-3pm at work and because of setcpu profiles and my taskiller, i never dipped below 40% range. You need to check yo facts about this ish.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
You need to settle down. Your claims of battery life with "heavy usage" are susceptible to an unquantifiable number of variables other than task killer usage.

There is no reason to use a task killer with 2.3, I don't think you'll find anyone familiar with how 2.3 operates that thinks a task killer is better. I haven't seen a person promoting task killers heavily since 2.1.

I think that everyone has their own way of setting up their phone, and whatever works for you works for you, but I don't think that a task killer is the way to fix OP's issue. Identifying problem apps etc is.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostZini:
How can you argue that the processes that run in the background shouldn't be killed. They are a constant drain on power levels.

G2 w/ meXdroidMod GingerMex Ghost Chilli
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
I think El Goog can argue better: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html

Sure Task killers give you the sense that you are controlling the variables, but what's to say that those apps don't start again without you knowing? Android was built with this in mind and rather than allowing the processes to keep running, they are placed in a low level state of hibernation until required. They are ultimately killed off automatically when Android calls for it. It's really down to personal preference and there really isn't a need to get so defensive about it. It's just the way it was designed.

@OP: Give us a list of the apps that you have installed since observing your battery limitations. Perhaps there is an app in there that you use that is set up slightly incorrect or is a known resource hog.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shady503403:
i agree taskillers should be used.. but i do also agree some apps run inthe background or stay running when you exit them or don't fully exit. this is why i use fast reboot. basically kills all the apps.. with cm7 i actually have fast beboot for long press on my search button.. since i never really use my search button.. works like a charm. when im done playin a game, interet or facebook mostly i'll use it to kill everything.. works great. and also if you don't use 3g\4g then you'll notice battery life is amazing.. i have an extended battery chichi one, and dont use 3g.. i get off work, texting all day and have beluga up and open all day.. about an half hour of browsin internet. 30\60 minute of calling.. and i usaually am around 60 at the end of the day on the worst... just my 2cents.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
Task killers may seem like they do their job, but these newer versions of android have a built in task killer. Just Google it and get your answer. This is a good discussion though. I mean what else is sugghested? I don't believe I have stuff runnikg in the background. What are some your guys profiles? Or tips?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
I've got the usual. I mean I use plume and that syncs every 2 hours. I have lookout running in the background without GPS on. So I don't think that it could be. Beautiful Widgets syncs every 3 hours for weather. The battery is just consumed by the cell standby. I want to decrease that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Thanks for supporting my theory with the link. Exactly what I needed. I do agree he needs to not be so defensive about it lol.

Task killers use up RAM and CPU to sit there and spam kill apps that keep restarting. They will keep restarting because they are trying to finish tasks they're assigned to do. If you just let them finish running, they will complete the process, and sit in RAM, no longer using CPU. At idle, my background processes are using

1%

of my CPU and I have 75% of my RAM available. There is no need to run a task killer to stop processes. I used to be an avid task killer user, until I realized that it is causing more harm than good.

So what kinda numbers are you talking about here? How much battery is cell standby taking up? and how are your battery life numbers with a normal day's use?

The only thing I could generally recommend without knowing more is dropping your clock down to 1ghz. I use these profiles:

Battery <100% 1017 max / 245 min ondemand

Battery <10% 768 max /245 min conservative

Battery <5% 368 max / 245 min powersave

Screen Off 368 max / 245 min ondemand (I sometimes have wakeup issues if I set to 245max or use the powersave scaling)

Temp > 42*C 768 max /245 min (necessary for any OC I think, good to stop your phone if its getting towards overheating)

Also, using a standard screen brightness lower than 100%, or just autobrightness can help. The best way to cut down on cell usage is an app like Juice Defender, which turns off your 3G data when the screen is off (and enables every 15min (or less/more) for updating). This is really useful if you don't turn your phone on/off every 1min like I do for text messages (turning data on/off often causes more drain than just leaving it on). Unfortunately, Juice Defender isn't updated to work on 2.3 yet :( .
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
Honestly, it's trial and error. Try underclocking back to 800MHz if you have OCed and see if that helps at all. If it is in fact just cell standby that is sucking your power dry, then backup your phone with NANDroid and get the latest radio. Flashing radios are less complicated than ROMs since it is easy to flash an older one over a newer one if you change your mind.

I believe a list of radios was posted earlier but I will try to track down a larger list for you.

Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Partially true.

Nandroid backups don't backup your radio, only your ROM. Flashing your radio is completely independent.

But yes, it is easy to flash back and forth between radios. Just be careful that you flash proper radios and have an escape plan to go back to your previous one (aka have your old one in a flashable form also) in case the new one doesn't work.

Here's a list of radios for the G2 I recently used: RADIOS. But as I said before, I think there can be other issues other than radios at play here.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daganb:
RAM will use the same amount of power regardless if it is 100% full or 5% full. Task killers are useless, linux can manage its own memory just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Exactly. The link previously posted explains it pretty well, but here is another good one:

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

Keeping processes in memory is not going to kill your battery life. But I would think that using up CPU cycles to kill the process unnecessarily, only to have it respawn (more CPU cycles) would actually consume more battery then if you left it alone.

I haven't seen any convincing argument that 3rd party task killers should be used (and solid arguments against them). They are mostly just a vehicle for the developers to take your money.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
Ahh, I didn't know that! Learning something every day :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mylenthes:
With all the talk of task killers I have to say that while using a task killer for a day, I noticed no huge increase in battery life. So if it does actually increase battery life (which I believe it doesn't) the increase is very minimal and it is almost pointless to waste your time for such a small gain. The increase I received as I went from 100 to 20 was about 30 minutes. The first day with no task killers I also went from 100 to 20. The increase can also mean nothing as there are many many variables that affect your battery.

I have always toned mine down from within Settings on MIUI and CM7. I've recently turned it off all together due to the same problem. It's getting increasingly heavier, and there will be times that it'll hang - it has lasted up to five seconds before for a simple keypress. I think that my vibrator is dying (I always want to giggle at that).

I have always wanted my haptic feedback to be barely noticeable, just enough to know that the touch was registered. Like a soft click. Instead it feels like my Evo is a monster truck revving its engine. Not enjoyable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevenet99:
I have just rooted my phone recently on my Droid X using Z4root and it worked fine. Then I backed up my phone using Titanium Backup, which also worked fine also. Then I installed ROM Manager and then flashed ClockworkMod Recovery within ROM Manager. When I click on Backup Current ROM the phone reboots fully without going into recovery. So I open ROM Manager and click "Manage and Restore Backups" and there is no file there.

I tried clicking "Reboot into Recovery" to see if I could select it there and the phone just reboots back to android without going into recovery. So then I turned off my phone and held down the home+power to go into recovery which works. When I'm there it doesn't have an option to backup my ROM. I don't want to flash this ROM I want to try until I can backup my current stock ROM, in case something goes wrong.

When at the blue recovery screen I notice at the bottom in yellow a message is displayed "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command. Wondering if this is my issue. I also notice in recovery it gives me an option to "apply sdcard:update.zip" but I don't see an update.zip on my sd card, so I'm not sure if I should select this before being able to backup my stock ROM. I'm afraid to flash the ROM before knowing this current problem. Can anyone help me with this issue? I am new to the whole root and ROM hacks, but have been researching in depth and taking all precautions so I'm trying hard not to brick my phone. Thanx in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Pneuma1985:
First off update.zip is just an update.zip package. Could be anything thats an update and can be flashed. Yeah...not sure why rom manager doesnt work for you but all the same your better off doing it from recovery anyway. You can make backups in recovery you don't need rom manager just use rom manager to manage your backups it will see them no matter what! It will allow you to rename them as well so they are easily identifiable also. If your rom manager works youll be able to name the backup before hand! If you ask me rom manager doesnt update the roms fast enough anyway they are usually like 2 days behind! Good tool either way but not so good at replacing roms as recovery does a better job. I have never had one problem using recovery but I've had a problem every time I try to flash a rom using rom manager!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevenet99:
Okay I figured out that the ClockworkMod Recovery must not have flashed properly or something bc I was just at the dev's site and the picture of the recovery is different than mine bc it's green and has many more options to choose from. Plus it says ClockworkMod Recovery on the recovery screen and mine doesn't. It's blue and says android recovery at the top. When I open the ROM Manager it says that I have the ClockworkMod Recovery but I don't. I even tried reflashing but it didn't work either. So how do I get the ClockworkMod Recovery to flash correctly?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dicrism:
Hiya,

So I bought a Dell Streak off Craigslist that happened to support T-Mobile AWS 3G. I didn't do enough research to realize that the Android 2.2 update was only out for unlocked and AT&T Streaks, and since the AWS Streak isn't supported by Dell, there's little to no chance of an official 2.2 upgrade.

This morning I decided to try flashing DjSteve's ROM, and after trying several Clockwork recoveries, I found an older version, 1.8.1, I believe, that wouldn't just sit at a blackscreen. It wouldn't flash either Steve's 1.5.1, 1.6.1 or 1.7 ROMs, so I decided to use FASTBOOT to flash over the baseband Steve recommends for 1.5.1 and higher of his ROM.

The ROMs still would not flash, and when the Streak boots back into the Stock 1.6, I have no cellular connection whatsoever, get strange warnings about my battery and charger not being supported (even though it wasn't plugged in) and in Settings > About, the baseband shows up as unknown.

I thought about trying to flash an AT&T baseband, and then flash the ROM, but I don't think this would give me my 3G back. I did not make any nandroid backups and I can't seem to locate the original AWS stock baseband to flash back to.

I also tried flashing StreakModRecovery using FASTBOOT, but neither 0.3.2 or 0.3.2.6beta work, they just sit at a black screen similar to what ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 does.

I just want to get 2.2 on my Streak and have my cellular and 3G working again.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks much.

I was only able to find information about rooting the AWS Streak 2.2. It's possible I missed it, and if so, could you please point me in the right direction? I have been looking for a few hours, both on here and Google.

My Streak is:

Firmware version: 1.6

Baseband version: unknown

Kernel version: 2.6.29-perf

OEM version: GAUSB1A111933

Build number 9158

After attempting to flash the baseband, 4.AMSS for v1.5.1+, from the downloads section on streakdroid.com, I lost my cellular connectivity, Baseband shows up as unknown, my button LEDs flash randomly and the device tells me my battery or charger is broken even though it's not plugged in.

Also, I am not able to update. I can't get either a recent version of ClockworkMod or StreakMod to flash correctly - they just show a blackscreen after selecting Update package from SD Card from the Dell recovery (vol up + vol down & power), option 2. I was only able to get an older version of ClockworkMod to work, and that still would not flash DjSteve's ROM. I got an error code, Status 7.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
!! 119 is yet another new version

could you please provide a nandroid of it? it's yet another version that's completely unique to the AWS streaks

The baseband you flashed only works with froyo builds, since you're currently on a 1.6 build it shouldnt work. You need to update your streak to an official 2.2 build to get back connectivity and as a prereq to flashing streakdroid
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dicrism:
I suppose that makes sense that a 2.2 baseband doesn't work with 1.6.
