Don't get me wrong, I love Myn's ROM and this thread is in no way a "lets derail Myn from his glory thread."
For one, my android system is running at 96% and I have absolutely no idea why. I flashed Calkulins new radio pack about 3 weeks ago along with his ROM and had no problems at all. I then switched to MIUI for awhile while I was waiting for RLS 5 to come out and since flashing RLS 5 I have had this problem and can't get rid of it. It doesn't matter what kernel I use, I still have upwards of 90% android system usage of the battery. I would like to figure this out or I may have to switch roms.
Another thing,
For some reason, after I just recently flashed to Myns RLS 5 Pandora sounds like it is playing out of a tin can. I have the higher quality settings turned on and it still sounds like crap, way worse than it did on any previous ROM. I'm wondering how I can fix this?
These problems are really starting to irritate me and I would very much love it if someone would help me out here.
Thanks

I have had the same issue with the android system taking up 90% + or my battery as well and it started after I flashed Myn's RLS5. Here is my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908167
I just posted this with pics. Also I went under network usage in spare parts and it seems that "0" is taking up all the usage and dont know why?

I have all the latest updates for radios and Pandora sounds fine!
i've heard that flashing the entire update (radios, wimax, pri, nv)
causes the uptime on a lot of roms. i think your best bet would be flash the 1.77 PRI in calkulins thread. ive kept 1.77 pri and NV and my phone is just fine running myns RLS5 right now as a matter of fact. good luck hope this helps man.

Im not having any up time issues. My phone sleeps just fine, its the android system that is taking up over 90% + or my batery usage and its made my battery life crap.
Hmm...that's odd...I flashed the rom via Rom Manager, did a few optional updates with it, and the only thing I had to do was flash the 132 radio, my phone great, no FC, nothing.....Hell, I should take this phone into the local sprint store to show them how the SHOULD RUN!
hmmm well this is my solution and it come straight from netarchy in his thread

and ultimately thats really what it sounds like man, flash a different kernal if you really feel the need to do something besides a PRI downgrade, but i firmly believe that myns RLS5 is just fine.
try downgrading the PRI and NV then post back worse case scenario you have to upgrade again and that takes a whopping 5 minutes

My big thing is that my phone is sleeping just fine. If you look at the second post and click on the link you will see screen shots of my up time and awake time which is like:
up time is like 46 hrs or some **** and awake time is like 6 hrs. So my problem is that the "Android System" is taking up 90% + of my battery use. I generally get a little over a day of lite to moderate use out of my battery but since I flashed rls5 its only been like 7 - 12 hrs(not that I am complaining) but I would just like to figure this out. Also some thing else I noticed was that in the spare parts app under network usage the top selection is "0" and when I click on it it just says "process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly. and please try again?
could this be related to the gingerbread menu upgrade? I have that flashed. Do you or have you ever?

i read your post, have you tried downgrading yet. im almost guaranteeing it will improve battery life the new 1.90 updates dont play well with a lot of roms causing ridiculous battery drain. now regardless if it shows its from the android system/networking problem or not im not knowledgeable enough to answer that, but my android system runs at 19% running myns rls5 and the 1.77 PRI and NV updates just saying..you might really want to consider just TRYING it ya know?

I love the SBC kernels and have read almost every post about them frying batterys. So I ordered a 3500 and am waiting for it to get here and then I will switch kernels. What is the stock kernel that is running with rls5? HTC kernel 15? Thanks for doing the testing. I have 4 kids and got pulled away for awhile. I think I am going to flash the stock kernel for rls5. Do you think I should still downgrade my PRI? I also hit the thanks button. I really appreciate the time you took to figure this out!
Let me just chime in here to shed a little light and knowledge.
Your problem is 3.70 base Rom. It's not a sleep issue. Probably won't be solved by changing kernels. Doesn't look like bad battery life since the phone had not been charged for 42 hours, that's almost 2 days.
If you ask me you have what most ppl are looking to get, which is a full day of use and more. Now correct me if I am wrong but how is going 2 days with out charging a bad thing???
The android system high %'s is a 3.70 issue which has affected a lot of ppl on the forum. The issue has several remedies but the easiest is to just reboot directly after charging the phone. Some ppl have said changing the pri back to 1.77 solved the issue, others have said updating their radio solved the issue.
Please give me a little bit more information so I can research more in depth for you...
Edit: Also let me state the facts here, please don't discredit someone else's work by saying a certain kernel,Rom, theme or recovery will damage a device. The sbc was a variable in ppl batteries being damaged and no one has proven that the kernel has indeed damaged their phone. Only here say...
I don't know if sbc is good or bad as the team I am working with are still in the testing stages with no clear answer, which probably won't come for months.

I honestly love the sbc kernels so I am showing no disrespect to the dev that put these together. My phone also loves the net kernels so Im not going to change at this point. Once you look at my screen shots from my post you will see that my battery only lasted 7 1/2 hours with lite to moderate use. Also there is another screen shot with the awake time and sleep time. One of they other things I noticed was that in the spare parts app under network usage the "thing" that has the highest usage is "0" and when I long press it to see what it is it just force closes. If you see my signature then you know what I am running.

Thanks for all your help in advance!
There is definately a problem with the rom released 1-7-11.
It will not allow installation of google usb tether program and the file explorer always seems to be working (spinning graphic). I do not think the previous rom had this problem but I can not be sure. Tried other non myn roms w/o problem, retried myn's and reconfirmed that there is a problem.
It seems that he changed a few things and had some sort of side effect.
Somebody should try running ps, ps -aux or top from a bash terminal to see what is really running. A look at the error log would not hurt either.
Interesting that you couldn't install that. I'm not sure why. The spinning I believe you are referring to is where ads would be. Myn added adblock to the role rls5. Most apps with ads (astro,xda, alchemy, etc) will display the loading circle instead. You can remove adblock. Just search the threads.

Have you tried the reboot right after charging? Also I read some where to go into airplane mode and then turn everything back on. Also when all else fail, not sure how you got to myn's but for the sake of safety do a fresh install of it with a wipe on everything. May also want to try caulk's format all zip.
Try the reboot then see, if that fails fresh install and then see.. let me know each time...

I had the horrid battery life after upgrading to Myn's latest and the treo update radio pack. Downgrading my PRI didn't fix it. It was the kernel. I was having random browser fc also.
Went back to HTC #17 kernel and all is well. Try swapping just your kernel.
I'm used to using a Sense ROM as my daily driver but since CM7 RC1 came out, I've been using that one. I flashed the 07 SavageZen kernel and for some reason or another it's horrible battery life compared to the stock on that comes with the ROM. I couldn't figure out a way to see if I had a wakelock issue since the ROM has no details such as total up time vs wake time. I've tried looking at Spareparts but honestly I can't decipher how to find which app is wakelocked...
Before you flame and troll, I did search and I've seen posts asking about wakelock but never really a solution being posted...
In spare parts battery history, then partial wake usage. That should tell you if you have a wake issue with an app. It's kik messenger for me so I just force stop it when I'm done using it.

Hi everyone,
I just recently rooted, and flashed CM 7.0.3 to my Telus Desire HD (signature has phone details), and after the first day noticed SIGNIFICANT battery drain; overnight on Standby it would drain 50-70%!
I installed the Current Widget and it showed throughout most of the night it would average 140-360mA of drain! Checked the Battery Info, and it showed ADWLauncher to be the highest source of drain, along with Sensors.
I'm just re-conditioning the battery now, but this has gotten me concerned. The phone is brand-new, along with the battery.
ADWLauncher is key to the ROM, so can't really disable it. I wiped Dalvik, Cache, User, before and after installing CM, so not sure what else I can do...
I didn't want to install any ROM that has HTC Sense components because their app permissions give me goose bumps (Sense UI = asking to be hacked), so that's why I went with CM. Also used it on a Moto Milestone, and it ran beautifully on that phone.
Can anyone help please? I'm at my wits end
I am unable to directly solve your problem, but I have some thoughts that could potentially solve this problem.
Firstly, what is the state of your ADW desktop at the moment? Try clearing all but the Current widget and see what happens. Another thing to try is disabling all of the 3D effects and such in the menu.
On a final note, ADW is not a core part of cyanogen-mod, you can just install Go Launcher, for example, and it will completely replace ADW. That is another thing to try.
Let us know how you get on.
I'd suggest installing a very lite launcher from market..even lighter than Go Launcher or Launcher Pro, setting it as default and uninstalling AWD with Root Uninstaller.
However, that's the not-curious way of dealing with the problem. AWD should not be consuming that much in CM. I remember Kalabdan had done a great job on the Milestone. Try to find out if your AWD can be upgraded. If all else fails try out the CM RC1 which has been out for a while.
I'd recommend wiping data+cache and formatting the system partition before flashing a rom.

So far I just finished fully re-conditioning the battery, and have wiped the batterystats.conf file via ClockworkMod Recovery, and also wiped out the cache just to let it re-build just in case.
I checked out reviews on Go Launcher for Desire HD users, and a lot of people report seeing a higher battery drain with that one, than others like ADW. I think I'll wait to see how it behaves after re-conditioning first, and see if there is any improvement. If that fails, I'll give Go Launcher a try.
Do you think I should install one of the new CM7.1.0 nightly builds to see if it helps? I've read a lot of forum postings claiming to see marked improvement in performance and battery life after upgrading to it...
Cheers!
Well, after doing everything in my last post, battery life has improved, but it's still draining faster than what I think it should be...
I've attached my currentwidget.log file to this post so you can see for yourself the drain I'm experiencing.
I'm new to using a rooted device and installing custom ROMS, and I love it!
I've loaded the latest Blackout ICS version 3.0.0, and am really impressed by how well it works. I immediately noticed that battery life is better than anything I've used previously, always different versions of Gingerbread. So that's a big improvement straight away. As others have highlighted, it's a bit laggy at times, but I overclocked the CPU and it runs much more smoothly. Even just 1.2 GHZ produced a noticeable improvement, and I'm now on just under 1.5 GHz, which I gather is a safe setting. I was worried about this affecting battery life, but if it has it's barely noticeable. I suppose it only runs at the fastest speed when it needs to.
The only problem with the ROM is the auto-brightness, which jumps up and down even in fixed light conditions. Not sure if the developers pick these threads up, but that is really the only issue I've found.
As the DHD seems to be the only device not to be getting an official port of ICS, I'd definitely recommend giving this ROM a try.
With all these other devices getting updates, is it likely that more fully working ICS ports for the DHD will be on the horizon?

You should also try AOSPX and Nik Project X. The first one is stock ICS and the second one is ICS with Sense 4.0. I tried both of em and they work flawlessly on my DHD.
Haven't tried Blackout yet because I saw in the thread that there were still quite a few issues to be solved.

I like the look of Nik Project X, though the final post on the forum raises an issue with not being able to get HSDPA data speed. I'll keep tabs on that forum and maybe give it a try.

Hmm, haven't really paid attention to that (I 'm mostly on WIFI). I 'll do a speedtest when I get the chance.
Edit: Did a quick test and I 'm getting 3,6Mb down / 1,6Mb up (inside a server room right now so not the best connection). Seems quite normal for my network (7,2Mb is max speed I can get from my provider). Of course the max HSDPA speed is alot higher but that 's something I cannot test.
Hi,
I've just installed, and recovered my apps, as i've wiped battery calibration i cannot talk about it, but OC is excellent. Even in default frequency the desktop turns without any lags, but as you mentionned, sometime there are some lags (typing on keyboard for instance) but i guess it's linked to the OC profile changing , try in performance instead of on demand, this should solve that.
Regarding the brightness i agree , it seems it change on "i don't know which parameter" from bright to low brightness.. so i've installed Bright day app to set the brightness along the day at low value and i've set on the main desktop the brightness widget to up from system parameters to push it up when i need, then bright day will recover the setting after a while..

So after few days of testing here are my feelings :
Takeing account of deamon set to 1,2Ghz, i can still reach 1d and half near 2days without charging , with a light use :
Allways connected to network though HSDPA (as i take train it often check the network to change the connected cell)
Playing 20-30min 3times a days to Pirates of carabean (3D game multiplayer so connecting to the network)
Surfing a bit
no music
no video
With an harder use i reached 1d wake up to sleep:
still same network condition
playing double time at least (1 to 1,5h 3times a days)
Surfing more (1h)
no music an no video
using battery eater apps (windguru) a bit
to resume my feeling on battery is excelent, i've noticed a light improvement on idle battery drop, a bit accelerated over time (due certainly to used app remaining processes.
Let's go now to the issue i've noticed :
-Back tactil button doesn't work on phone screen while it works everywhere else
-Using smoth rosie to supersmooth show a light display trouble when reducing the app drawer windows (doubling the reducing animation)
-Light keyboard trouble doubling the A letter some time (like if the touchscreen has been typed twice when its not the case)
-blackout tweak shortcut from top task bar doesn't linked (need to go through the app drawer to access it)
-Folder creation missing from widget/app shortcut addition screen (or i didn't found it) , i use the moving app on another icon to create it (i don't know if it's the ICS new way of creating folder on desktop)
The plus i've found (don't know if it's an ICS feature) : create a folder in the lower task bar : can jump from 4 shortcut to full app contained in your phone accessible from the locked screen : I loved that !
The overall impression is really great and for an old phone that "doesn't give a good experience of ICS" following HTC, i feel this ROM fullfill my expectation from ICS on my Desire HD !
Many thanks to the Blackout team !

Yes. Some can't send at all. Some have data drop in and out while sending and some have no issues. Seems weird to me since the hardware is supposed to be the same for the most part. I think apn and radio combo has the most to do with it.

Love this ROM...
This ROM would be my daily driver if the Wifi hot-spot worked. Has anyone found a work-around or fix? Wifi Tether didn't work either btw. I know it's WIP by the devs but they said it wasn't a major priority for them (Boooooo lol) Fingers crossed for v3.2
As noticed recently in the official thread, i've also noticed the magical battery jumps, i first guessed it was linked to the battery calibration wipe i've done before to flash the Blackout3.0 rom, but i can sometime still see this trouble also.
It happen even phone is in use but every time inbetween 30 and 5 percent of battery left. it goes down to low then readjust it to an higher value without any reason.
The phenomen come back lately less often, but maybe devs can check this out. I'm running on a SFR Desire HD recognized as an incredible S on the 3.0 rom.

hello and thanks to anyone reading this.
Ok so I've searched what feels like a million places and finally am comming here as a last resort. I will try to be detailed in everything i have tried up to this point so sorry if this gets a little long. I hope this clears up problems on this phone for anyone else with similar issues.
So the problem is that i am experiencing major lag on this phone. Let me specify. Mostly during games, which some are unplayable. Now that being said, I have not tried many games but here are some specific ones that have had some problems:
Nova 3 (which I am unsure of compatibility due to mixed reviews), The lag makes the game unplayable, online and offline
Modern Combat 4 (lag isnt too bad but still makes the game hard to play and not fun),
Shadowgun Deadzone had a wierd blur effect which made it unplayable --- fix : I had tried chainfire which fixed it but also disabling hardware overlays fixed this issue --- this is just some background info maybe it helps maybe it doesnt.
I have even noticed some lag on vector, a non graphicaly intense 2d game.
Some lag occurs even on the home screen as well (mostly when the device is first turned on and the home pages have not been loaded into ram yet, but this still shouldn't happen).
I know this phone has a weaker graphics chip and processor than the international version, but with the adreno 225 and the snapdragon s4, this device should be able to play these games and not lag on the home screen.
specifics: power saving mode is not turned on, I have tried to disable hardware overlays and force gpu but neither did any good (execpt shadowgun listed above). I have tried rooting and installing chainfire, this didnt fix the lag. I am on stock android 4.1.1 right now (rooted).
This phone is nearly new, about 2 months old.
So I guess my next step would be to overclock? does anyone think this would help? My point was that this phone stock should not have these problems and maybe I just got a bum phone.
Ok so thats the main problem, another, I have recently experienced battery drain. With all radios off, the phone not used (in my pocket, turned off) I am experiencing about 8-10 % drain per hour. - I dont know if this is normal but if any suggestions please let me know. While in use (browsing internet) I get about 40 -50 % drain per hour.
Thanks again to anyone for reading or providing help. Any suggestions are appriciated.
After I used my S3 for a few months, maybe 3 or 4, I also began to experience great lag and choppy performance. I was disliking the bad battery and the general slowness of the ROM so I flashed another ROM. I would suggest you flash an AOSP ROM such as the M snapshot of CM10.1 and see if that runs any smoother. I noticed a huge battery life increase and a much better performance. If you still have lag issues after an AOSP ROM, you most likely have a problem not related to the ROM. If you find an increase in performance with the AOSP ROM, but you prefer Touchwiz, look for a different custom ROM that is Touchwiz based. These ROMs will likely have a smoother performance and a better battery life than stock ROMs. Also, about your battery drain issue go to Settings > battery and see what is using a lot of the percentage.

Alright thanks for the help everyone. The solution is that Gameloft did not optimize this game for this phone. So change the buil.prop, and the game runs like butter. For anyone wondering, the solution is to edit build.prop and change the:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus --- delete watever you have and type in "Galaxy Nexus"
ro.product.brand=google --- be sure this is lower case.
Thanks again. I hope someone finds this useful
(as for battery life, I dont know whats wrong)

Where is the build.prop located? And what else might might be effected by changing it?

The build.prop is located at /system/build.prop
The only things that would might be affected (for this specific build.prop change) are other apps that read your device name / type, such as the play store
The play store would be affected in that it would show more apps possibly, and apps compatible with the nexus
I think it crosschecks your device name against other stuff too though, so dont quote me on that
