cm7 running hot

Hey I installed cm7 last night (beta4) runs great even my GPS works fine (took forever to find my location the first time.
Anyways before my phone unless under searoius use would only heat up between 98-100 degrees f. Now just having the screen on and its bewltween 104-107. Its not really a big problem just wonder if any one else's is running hot.

I think a better measure is how many degree above room temperature.

Before it was 20-25 above room temp. Now its 25-30 above room temp

Mine has a little bit hotter too

I just cannot get into my head that quarks will make 2.3 to work on my phone faster then motorola engeneers 2.2!
Is quarks a genius or motorola needs to kick some lazy as**. Or both LOL

both for sure, BUT motorola will have to do some sort of QA. (Of course we know about all problems ) - but it still will be more stable than a beta rom like CM7 (not saying its bad, but i guess many "every-day" users may encounter problems..
secondly Motorola has to make sure every additional feature works like it did before. Like motobloat, or the (only awesome feature) bluetooth tethering via DUN/PAN, which the DEFY (even with Eclair) has, without needing to root.

you can mount a battrey extend maybe

For you that dont know. Quarks already made latest CM6 for LG gt540. And it worked perfectly...

Come on guys lets try to stay on topic. Im just trying to figure out if there are just a few of us running hotter or a lot of us and if there are what we may need to do to fix it.

What sbf did u flash before install? Nordic? I had tmoble ota update to 2.2.1 then I did cm7 mod. Under clock to 300 at 27 600 at 42 800 at 52. I stay between 28 and 32° c

I was on the leaked T-Mobile SBf when I installed cm7. Think that may be what's causeing the heat up?

So do I, but I think AWD and other apps may cause the high cpu usages rates. Also turn down the cpu frequency may be a choice

I have overclock at [email protected] and now the temp showing is 38 degree with setvsel but I do not feel hot when I touch the back of thephone. When phone noting use its always under 30 degree,

Same for me too. Very hot with 4.1.

[Q] Battery drain - rooted, but on standard ROM

Hi all,
I've got a slightly strange one here which I wasn't expecting.
My Arc S was on .6, downgraded to .4, rooted, then upgraded to .6 with root still on. So I'm on a stock ROM, and have even removed a ton of unnecessary apps - otherwise, everything is as it should be.
However, where I previously got 2 days out of my Arc S, I'm now getting only about one. As before, I have background data, Wifi, Bluetooth and virtually everything else permanently turned off.
As I'm on a stock rom, and the same one that I was on before I rooted, is this normal and/or expected?
Thanks in advance,
schnide

Download a boot editor, or check the KERNEL, if you are using the stock kernel is normally. Idk how you can stay 2 days with an arc, without charging. Check the brightness.

Heck, im suprised how anyone can keep the battery last even for a day. If i fully charge the arc s, unplug it and then just leaves it there, the longest i can get is ~10hours.
I heard that arc/s battery will get better over time, maybe thats why, coz i only got mine like 4 months ago...

You can save power using apps like "green power" and cie but I'm impressed by the autonomy of your arc. Mine survives 1 day and two hours when I don't use it. You also can reset the battery stats on recovery but it's an extreme solution...

It's known issue, worse battery performance is because of .6x version

I conditioned my battery when I first bought the phone. Conflicting reports say this doesn't do anything with modern batteries, but I've always done it and had better battery life than some.

Install supercharger, use a task killer to determinate what apps are running on the background and kill the unnecessary ones frequently. I'd suggest you to install another kernel and arconium if you have unlocked bootloader

[Q] Jellybean or Kitkat?

So I've this Z1 Compact and I charged it to 100% when i got home (the first charge) since its Li-ion and cause I've read everywhere that you don't need to keep it plugged in for 6hrs straight I din't let it.
The next day morning itself I found Kitkat update and updated. But it seems the battery drain is far more on Kitkat than on jellybean as per reports from a whole lot of people who get upto 7hrs screen on time or more on Jellbean and I manage barely 4-5hrs max even on wifi.
Kitkat was supposed to have better battery life, as is the case with most other phones and that's why I din't give it a second thought and updated, now I'm thinking of rotting and flashing back Jellybean stock rom, what do you guys think?
And from the last 2 days, camera app is also behaving a bit odd, in manual mode specially, its hanging when i click a photo and the photo doesnt get saved, to avoid a reboot i just lock screen and turn on.
So any suggestions?

Stock KK here, rooted and debloated but bootloader locked. Yeah, JB have better battery but difference is not significant maybe 30min. difference in screen time. Nonetheless phone can still survive a day of heavy use and still go home with a juice to spare.

So what are the negatives or bugs with the kitkat update?

I know one of the positives is now you can get the bootloader unlocked
But umm does it still have a speakerphone issue? And did it lose some GSM frequencies or something for tmobile/att? And as I understand it.. it was last I heard unflashable for page plus/verizon? Or is that changed obviously cause of bootloader unlock?

My speaker makes a popping noise for pretty much everything I do, though a bunch of people have reported that as well I think.
My battery has gone to hell. With almost everything Greenifyed, SetCPU underclocking to 594 MHz, I'm still losing about 5% an hour. When I turn Location and Google Now off, it's about the same, so I've just been leaving them on. I have a 5000 mAh batter pack that I carry everywhere with me now.

The popping noise used to not occur on my phone, but lately I've been hearing it now and then.
I'll second the mention of worse battery life (although it was also not-so-great on Jellybean). I haven't gone quite as far as vjaamm has, but I've tried to maintain a decent balance of apps and battery life and still can't push a full day. The phone goes from full to 20% in about 11 hours, with 80 minutes of having the screen on.
Cyanogenmod definitely does better on battery life, but the current nightlies still have some issues to sort out (broken Bluetooth audio, spotty Wi-Fi for some, weird speakerphone issue, unknown "My Number" for some and the consequential inability to send MMSes)

Everything is working perfectly fine for me on KitKat. I keep reading about others having worse battery life, but mine seems to be the same. It's not better or worse. I don't have any popping noises, random reboots or heat issues.

Did you installed Kitkat via RSD or OTA?? because the ota failed to me, and i installed KK from a zip that i found here

This morning, I was listening to come music on my commute to work. It's about an hour and 15 minutes. My battery was done to 83%. I wasn't playing any games, not looking online or texting. It's kinda crazy to drop that fast just from MP3's. It never did that on Jellybean.
I wasn't streaming them. I was using PowerAMP and just using songs on my SD Card.
I bet the phone just didn't like the music I was listening to. lol

In my case, at least, your screenshots make the difference clear - your phone is barely awake when the screen is off; mine is nearly always awake, even with the screen and Wi-Fi off.

BL unlocked&rooted
KK installed using official file via RSD

Kitkat was working fine, and everything seemed to work as expected until recently when it started overheating, running the battery down really fast and then shutting off. When this behavior starts, you can't charge it from a car charger, a PC USB port, a portable battery pack and sometimes not even the official Verizon charger that came with the phone. All of this behavior started after KitKat. My daughter gave me her Razr M to use which still has JB on it, and I won't be upgrading it to KitKat. I don't think the M is quite up to Kitkat, or KitKat isn't optimized properly for the M. Cyanogenmod 11 runs much better, even with the few bugs it has.

i did a RSD now the unlock delay disappeared completely, but i still have the FC on storage option and i have to check if my battery life is improved

My wifes razr M is really starting to piss her off since the update. Reboots all throughout the day. SOD's (screen of death), and just general stupid behavior. Before I know it she'll be wanting a iphone or something.

I remember something like that happening when I had one of the verizon apps disabled. As soon as it was enabled again, the FC stopped happening. That was on Jellbean though.
I don't remember what the app is though. Sorry.

GPS locktime on Stock 4.4.4 (hardware based)

Hows the lock time of GPS of your Z1c? mine kinda long. And Nexus 7(2012) beats me hands down in locking GPS(hardware base)
I dont know but it seems lockin time of GPS on 4.3 is faster and better. I am currently on 4.4.4 and I notice it takes too long to lock and when it is locked, it goes crazy sometimes.

My mom and I got to travel via car. She has Nexus 7 2012 and my Z1c and both used sygic. The nexus 7 has locked in about 5 seconds steadily while y z1c took around 5-7minutes and it is also hit and miss. This was not the case on my Xperia L, Mini and W8

Do you use any kind of case for your Z1c? Because some case materials can block GPS and causes bad connection.
If not, search in xda for GPS mods. There are some which can improve your lock times.
Oh and btw: my lock times are awesome. So I guess its something with your phone/software in particular. Are you on stock?

Maybe you`v got firmware for another country every fw has own config about gps. Try to change gps serv for your country via app from google play. Maybe you have set on china for egz.

No. Ive got the exact region firmware for my phone because it is the exact firmware came from PC Companion. I bought it and it came with 4.4.2. I bought it from Sony Xperia Store itself. and Upgraded it to 4.4.4 using PC Companion

I downgraded to 4.3 and lock speed is way better. And no more hit and mis. By the way im using ofline not mobile data
