Hi , i have had this problem like a week now, i have tried everything and my android os still taking a bite out of my battery, using almost 40-60%, giving me like 7-8 hours of almost no use. Please i dont know what to, im running CM7 stock kernel, and i keep getting this problem.
PS. Im experiencing also ADW EX launcher restarting, does someone know hot to fix this?
Did you try a re-flash of the rom?

I factory reset today, and im having this problem like ago, came from MIUI yesterday and those problems came back to CM7.
EDIT: I see in OS monitor that the process of settings Storage is alive using more that 2% but less than 15%, is that normal?

Are you running the latest cm7? (as in its 2.3.5?) Pretty sure that bug was fixed past 2.3.3 (I could be wrong)
Edit: After reading a little on their wiki (its been a while since Ive used Cyanogenmod) I found out that If you are running a "stable" version you are on 2.3.3 and that's a bug on android's side.

im running the latest nightly, with stock kernel, but my phone was working good, since the update to 2.3.5, i think the problem is an app, but i dont know if its really an app, because is something in the OS, so i dont know if it is an app of the system, i dont really know, but i want to fix this problem.

Wipe and reflash and do not install any apps. Verify if the problem is a app or not. Also do not run widgets or anything else, basically run it as close to stock as you can.

hey boricua! i did it when i wiped and i think is an app because of this, while i had no apps, i disconected the phone and my stats where "normal", android OS taking less than 10%, i then started to TiBu restore my apps, and i came back to the same problem i had in MIUI last week and in CM7 two weeks ago

To be honest i wouldn't know. I don't like AOSP roms on the Galaxy S phones. To be honest haven't been on CM7 since nightly was 2.3.3 (been a while). But from my experience Native roms work better for longer periods of times. But I9000 ports work well enough. I also like Audience chip support.

ok changing a bit the topic, do you know if the GB bootloaders are running good with aosp roms? because i would like to try Stock GB on my cappy, but i dont like the idea of flashing the bootloader because i dont want to lose the ability to change between roms.
I believe it is, but your kernel might have to change. I do know both CM7 and MIUI have a few kernels to chose from, some might be limited to a specific bootloader. Again I could be wrong.

I'd wait til CM6 becomes final. 2.1 IMO just doesn't run well enough on G1's hardware. The speed is there, but apps get killed too easily for memory.

There is a lot of good custom ROMs. Go check The Rom Bible and look at the ratings of every ROM there. You will find something good.
And I agree that Eclair is usable, but not to fast. You have to set up a swap partition to run it good enough to be a daily driver. However, you will not find as fast 2.1 ROM as stock Donut. G1 has too little RAM memory (processor is good enough). But something for something - if you once see 2.1 ROM you won't want to go back, trust me .
If you're looking for speed - check Dwang, it's very good.
BUT! Very much depends how your son will use the phone. If his gonna do a lot of multitasking and play with the phone 24/7 then he should stay on 1.6 or start reading how to really set up an Eclair ROM to run smooth. If he is really casual user then almost every ROM will be OK for him.

2.1 sucks for multitasking. My widgets update 5 minutes late on average and sometimes they never do and I have to open the app to get them to update. Horrible.

that problem went away for me as soon as I ditched all Widgets that required a background dedicated service.. rather than just using the widget API to update from application data.

Interesting.
If he's anything like my son, he'll be using the phone for messaging. I would definitely avoid Eclair and Froyo for now. No need to root it - stock 1.6 is fine for most everyday purposes. If he starts to want to install tons of apps, then you can root and start investigating your options.
lol that happened to me my first day having the phone >.<

Installed and seems like this ROM is solid....no bug(s) yet....nice
Confused
This is supposed to be a blurless rom, correct? I loaded it last night, and def still has blur in it.... When I get home I'll have to see if it actually deodexed like it promised. Even Contacts are still blur...
I will say that it's FAST though..

All of the current ROMS have *some* level of Blur. Since we cannot bypass the Moto Kernel, there are some levels of base code that just have to be there.
Tranquility, Apex, zapX, and Rubix 0.5 were all built on the 2.3.15 release and then removed as much of the blur components as they could and still have it function.
Fission & Rubix 1.0 built from a base that came out of the Droid2 SDK which appears to be very stock Android and therefore, they are a little more 'blur-less' than others. Which is both good and bad. Time is showing that some of the blur components have some nice functionality that people are missing when they go completely blur-less.

This is absolutely true and was the same for the D1 except it wasn't Blur, but you can't build AOSP for D1 either without using the extract-files.sh to pull all of the proprietary components that make the phone work.
It's a basic truth about phone firmware.
can anyone tell me how the contacts list comes up aosp style or blur< i noticed blur has a thing to merge my phone contact with fb and twitter< without having to use the same name on fb and my contact info. please let me know thanks guys!!

I hate to say this, but maybe you should post this on either droidworld or another forum with an active thread. I doubt you'd get much support over here, not sure why. Tranquil. doesn't seem to be popular around here. I didn't see you mention trying a nandroid restore.... did you?

Its running pretty damn good for me. And since I have Tasker set up to sync my data every 30 mins, my battery life is great also. I'd imagine it would be even better if I set it to sync every 45 or 60 mins.
Love TranQ3.0, and I never thought I'd be saying that.

So far, I've had like maybe one or two glitches.... sometimes after a reboot the boot screen gets left on the lock screen, so you can still unlock your phone, but you have to guess where the sliders are.
another is that the calendar widget doesn't work.
Other then those two, the rom is FAST, stable, and battery life has been great. Worth it to me in my opinion... It's not an ASOP "experience" though... it's more like a hybrid.
Like it so far though, it's my daily driver.
Edit: Also, this applies to STOCK people (running the 2.2 OTA).... I was odexed, completely stock..... installed this rom with ease: no wiping, no formatting, nada. AND it deodexed my phone for me.... LOVE THAT.

I have bought tasker aS well (the stock rom doesn't let the os sleep when gps is enabled so I bought it to turn it on and off for all my apps)
Now I like your idea of syncing every 30 but I use google voice exclusively. And the voice app. Does that mean if I turn off my sync I won't get my messages in a timely mater?

This rom also doesn't seem to sleep when wick is on. Am I missing something? Anyway I do see how this can save a lot a battery with the screen dining and everything. I had to wipe my phone to get it to work. Last time I tried when I booted every system app was force closing. I feel like this is a little slower than rubix but way faster then stock. Could be too the drawer just doesn't feel right. Too bouncy for me to use quickly. Ill probably go to pro launcher. But if I don't want to how do I customize the 4 apps at the bottom? Its driving me nuts

You can always go back to stock, but you never will once you play with some lagfixed kernels and custom roms. I thought this thing blew the iCrap out of the water stock, and its amazing now. Overclocking sounds cool, but unless you are a gamer and actually need the extra clock speed, i'm not sure its worth the effort. I have had ridiculous battery life just using 1GHz and Voodoo lagfix. I would def recommend you try P9.5 (perception) as I have no problems with anything and the best GPS ever.

No disrespect meant to the other ROM devs. I am a DG fanboy and found what I was comfortable with and haven't looked around at all, but I know there are a lot of people out there that like roms made by other devs, and I'm sure they are just as good.

Alright. Finally got back home and got it flashed. Seems fine. Battery life seems a little shorter. I only have about an hour with it. A few questions, what is Blinky? And what is BLN?
bln is back light notification. it can sometimes be turned off in recovery if the kernel has a modded recovery. basically if you get a text email or other alert the phone will put on the soft key back lights. i dont care for it because im never looking at my phone at it is never in a visable location for the lights to catch my attention. basically if i can see the lights im probably about to unlock my phone anyway in which case i can see the notification in the status bar.
blinky is an app that has something to do with bln but it didnt work when i tried to use it.
give the battery a couple days to calibrate. the batstats file can get all screwy making you think you have battery drain. if you charge the phone while it is off and then start the phone the two battery meters should be close to each other. if they are not then the batstats are likely off. you can clear them in clockworkmod recovery. over the coarse of a few days you may see the battery life appear to get longer.
i believe the accepted procedure for calibrating is charge to full. clear batstats. charge to full +1-2hrs. turn off phone and charge to full again +1hr, turn on phone and charge to full.
but i tend to just clear bat stats once and use the phone. im not gonna dis anyones method but i see no point in the calibration thing.
so i just flashed cognition 3.04, and i love it. so much smoother and faster. i was tired of waiting for the officail 2.2 froyo release. the only thing that i dont understand is that it says that the unlock screen should be the stock glass pane swipe thing. but its not. its just the standard froyo unlock screen. not a big deal just wondering about it. so i guess thats my question.
More people requested stock lockscreen over the glass one. It's really upto DG to change whatever he wants in his rom. I guess he likes to satisfy all his followers
yeah i am not upset with the lockscreen. just wondering if i missed something. its a really nice rom. now i am wondering what else should i add to the phone. i want to keep this rom but maybe overclock it next.

No worries man, just thought I would make sure you knew it was in the change log. I personally am not using a OC/UV kernel because every time I have it has killed my battery. I just left Serendipity for that reason. I have run both Hardcore and Glitterballs kernels and I just never had good luck like others have had.
yeah i probably will leave it alone for now. but i feel i want to do more. any suggestions for other stuff i can add/do to the phone now.

That is the beauty of these phones; I was running Serendipity and just yesterday alone I had to charge twice because it killed my battery. I was running extremely mild settings so I would try and help my battery and it still died. That is why I went away from it, but my phone has been that way with all OC/UV kernels. On the other hand with Cognition I flashed yesterday at 85% battery (yes everyone says flash from 100% and I don't care lol) and after 14 hours I am at 70% battery with normal use for me. If I were on Seredipity or any other OC/UV kernel my phone just sleeping would die. It sucks how much of a difference these phones have between each other.
15% drop in 14 hours.....normal use... :/

If you dont cut out the rest of my sentence it says at the end "for me". So simply changing the rom immediately made my battery better because i had serious issues on serendipity. Please dont take a part of what i said and try to twist it around.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.

Sorry, wasn't trying to twist anything. Just surprised at what you would classify as normal.
I just like to look at the screen too much
Why so serious

I only speak for myself and my stats. I was using that point based on what i have had happen. I have used my phone more today than the previous couple because the battery lasted. On serendipity which is a good rom overall i would lose atleast 35% during the day with airplane mode on. Working in a clinic att does not work in my area so i keep it on to help savebattery. Too bad my phone hates oc/uv kernels.

well i havent charged the battery since i flashed it and its still at 42 percent. and i have been messing with it alot. so apparently my phone loves cognition. ha. but i was wondering if its possible to put the touchwiz app drawer back in. i liked it better since you can move the apps where you want.
And the oddest thing happened. I didnt have set up my phone, or download any of my apps. Everything was like it was before the upgrade. I cleared the dalvik, did a nandriod backup, flashed the stable rom and gapps twice! And both times got the same result. Want to know if this happened to anyone else or am luck/unlucky? Thanks!

If you don't wipe data you won't have to setup everything.

Hate to be a noob, but would that have any bad side effects? I personally don't anything harmful coming from this.

As long as you're flashing a newer version on top of an older version of the same ROM, you should be fine most of the time.
If the new ROM is significantly different from the old (Sense vs. Non-Sense, Eclair vs. Froyo vs. Gingerbread), you must wipe data (aka factory reset in recovery) before installing the new ROM. After that, you will have to re-setup your accounts and apps and such (this is made very easy with Titanium Backup).
Generally speaking, no. If you were to run into problems you would want to wipe data but you should generally be able to flash from 1 version to another with the same rom with just a cache wipe.

7.0.0 Stable???
I just updated from RC4 to the "Stable" version and I found it to be very slow with the pre-packed kernel and I can't even get it to run with the Decafuct #589 Kernel. I've gone back to running RC4 at 748 MHz....Completely stable and the only thing broken are live wallpapers. Anyone else have a similar experience?

The Hero isnt made for live wallpapers. Regardless of the ROM or over clocked speed. The hardware can't handle it. The only possible way that I believe it will work is that you have to sacrifice your gallery and basically ability to play games for live wallpapers to work perfectly. I can't remember the thread and if it were easier on my phone I would link you there but sorry.

No kidding....Learn something new everyday. I've never had much interest in using a live wallpaper because of the battery drain. The other day I decided to give it a try just for kicks, because the wife's using on one on her nook color, and noticed it didn't work.

The only live wallpaper I could run decent was plasma. Look for it on the market. Nothing fancy but its ok.
Yea its me again. With the
Modified Hero
