Guest luckyauto Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Well I've been running this ROM for 4 days now and whilst it's very stable, it's absolutely KILLING my battery. I'm losing around 15-20% per hour. On V3 I was losing 1% per hour so it's back 1 step I go! I've tried the battery fix but it hasn't helped. yes , me too , did you find any solution.... or we can flash back to v3 or release 1 , may i know which have the best batt life , v3 , realease 1 or other pls advise and thank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alert_bri Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 yes , me too , did you find any solution.... or we can flash back to v3 or release 1 , may i know which have the best batt life , v3 , realease 1 or other pls advise and thank I have Stephen's Froyo v2.2 release version 1 installed and SetCPU to properly manage processor speed... I'm going to stick with this combination until I see a future release version which fixes battery life and green strip on youtube videos without screwing up auto- rotate of screen. V1 with SetCPU is really good enough imho... It will be interesting to see how the official O2 release compares when it ships. Loving my Streak more than ever... Take your time Stephen & co, you've done a fantastic job so far! Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Brian There is NO battery problem with v.1.1.1 How can my device work normally and have the same battery life as v2.1 and you have problems?!? The ROM is very good! There is something else that kills the battery but it is NOT the rom itself! Yesterday I played NFS Shift for 40 min and my battery went down only 1%!!!

Guest RedSlug Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I wonder what people with battery problems are installing that causes the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Us3Less Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I wonder what people with battery problems are installing that causes the problem I'm wondering the same thing myself as I am also facing this problem in V1.1.1 ..... Fully charged , went 2 sleep , woke up 6 hours later with 70% , no missed calls or sms , background data was off ..... Anyway , Stephen did a great job with this ROM and problems like this , I'm sure will be solved in his future rom ..... The best solution i can think off now is 2 do a factory reset which I'm quite reluctant to do with all my apps and data inside . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alert_bri Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) Ok so I'm on 23 hrs and my battery is at 75%. No battery problem on this rom Any Apps? lol Seriously, it would be helpful to have an app which tells us which apps are devouring processing/ battery power... Otherwise these anecdotal reports are not too useful. All I know is, with SetCPU installed, I can at least optimise the CPU governor to conserve power more effectively when the screen is off for instance. It really helps battery life.

Guest Stephen Hyde Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 i get very very good battery life over here too on 1.1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Niner86 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Charged at 7am yesterday morning and still going at 40% the now, amazing improvement! Mr Hyde! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeiger Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I wonder what people with battery problems are installing that causes the problem It makes me wonder too, i mean i have install all of steve's version of rom and till now i don't have any major issue with the battery usage, to me it seem to be improving. In Amdathlonuk case losing 15-20% of battery life per hour its a bit too extreme. I am just suggest maybe its some app that is cpu hungry that could be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OrionBG Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 About the battery problems! I do both CWM factory reset and Dell's Factory reset, every time I flash a new ROM! I always wait till the battery is below 20% to charge it and always charge to full. I don't use any backup software! Every time I start with a clean install and thus far I have no problems! Thanks Stephen for all the excellent work you are doing to make the streak better! Now there are only better video codec support and an OC feature and it will be the best!

Guest mrmrmrmr Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 For info, in case no-one has tried this, v1.1.1 works with bluetooth keyboards. If (as in my case) you have an apple bluetooth keyboard, the trick to pairing it is to search for the keyboard, enter a pin of choice (eg, 0000) then immediately after hitting connect, key in "0000" on the keyboard and press return. Now I have no reason to take a laptop anywhere for note taking or blogging ! Steve, you have PM on way. :) interesting. I have amini bt keyboard. but it came with an android software named blueinput (from tekosoft). without this software I can't use the keyboard. when I try to pair with key 0000 it does not connect. how do you use the keyboard after pairing ? (which input method do you select ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have rebelsim, but not sure I qualify as very experienced (yet?). Absolutely loving your commitment to getting the best out of the streak and can't wait for CM. I am plucking up courage to swap out the internal sdhc card for a 32gb one - but can't work out whether the build.img has changed from 2.1 to 2.2. Anyone know if this changed with Steve's 2.2?

Guest Sader0 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 hey guys anyone having orientation sensor issues on 1.1.1 ? Have no orientation whatsoever after install. Toggling on off does not help.... thanks for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adzman808 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 i'm so new to all this, never had a droid b4 (ex winmo guy tho...) had the streak just over a week... second hand handset from ebay, 1.6 was on long enough to check phone worked, straight to 2.1, then immediately to 2.2 v1... for some reason (music i think & labyrinth didn't work) 2.2 annoyed me so back to 2.1, but lack of flash (sole reason for going to droid) was killing me, so back onto 2.2 v1 i digress... is there any reason to for me to go v1.1.1? i fixed my music problem (i thinki...) i found a version of labyrinth that works great the youtube stripe doesn't bother me nor does video quality battery life? i'm a low volume user, but lets say 5 mins on the phone, 30 mins wifi, 1 hour of reading kindle, 20mins of games (chess, solitaire etc) = about 30hrs batt life so my question? what benefit will i get from v1.1.1?

Toggling on off does not help.... thanks for help Yes I have some orientation problem. Some apps are stuck in portrait sometimes and I get as well some with landscape 180 degree wrong. Problem is I can't reproduce it properly so that I have useful information for debugging (it comes and goes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
