Almost 100% Awake Time

Since I upgraded to DamageControl 2.09, I have been experiencing almost 100% awake time, and my "Sync" icon is constantly being displayed.
I didn't have this issue with 2.08, so I'm wondering what I can do to clear it up. Is anyone else having a similar issue?
Thanks in advance!

Is it unplugged from the wall/charger/computer? Have you stopped playing with it long enough to let it go to sleep?

Yep. I leave it sitting on the table most of the time... Seems like it's constantly trying to sync something, but I can't figure out what/why.

go into settings/applications/running processes. I bet obex service is running thanks to calendar and come.htc.bgp. If that's the case, killing that process is the only fix I've found. It's a bug in the Sprint 2.1 ROM upon which DC is based.

Odd, I'm running the same ROM and not getting this bug. Try wiping and reflashing. Don't install apps from backups. Install apps from scratch and only pick the ones you need first. I ran the ROM without any of the apps I like first and I've NEVER had this issue. Then I started adding apps directly from the market without using Titanium or any of the other backups. Worth a shot... for science, right?

Yeah, I decided to re-flash it last night, and it seems to be working fine now. uptime is about 15 hours, with awake at around 1.5 hours now. Much, much better.

Wow! Subcypher is right! I haven't used titanium backup since loading infinitex's deodexed sprint ROM and I have no problems with 100% awake time.

Do not Restore Apps with Titanium Backup

This will give you horrible battery life. I already tried it. Restored all my Apps, and I just got the worst battery life. Wrote down all my apps, Hard Reset, and Installed them. I'm good to go now. It's just an advice. Remember that the restoration of the apps will come with remains of the older phone the apps were.

I can see that happening, but I'd think that it would have to be certain specific apps. Were you able to troubleshoot or weed out specific apps causing a problem? Did you only restore apps or also system data?

Only Apps. I think Juice Defender and most of the ones that required personalized settings were the ones that were causing the problems.

I need to get my Slingplayer loaded up and Titanium Backup has all the info.
Anybody know how to extract the info out of it for the login info for Slingplayer.

I'm having trouble seeing how Titanium Backup could be behind an issue like that.
Is this all circumstantial?

No. As I said before. I used the phone 1 whole day with no apps, just pure stock, and then the next day I used Titanium Backup and restored all my apps, and my phones battery went to hell.

I think the question is whether there is solid proof that restoring any app at all will cause you to suffer battery problems or if it was something specific you recovered.

I'm still skeptical, but what the hell, I bit.
I did a factory reset, and am going to use App Brain to re-install the apps, then restore the data over top of them from my Titanium Backups, because I'm lazy.

Nevermind, I see this was already asked.
Did you restore with data or just the apps? Because I could see how restoring with data could introduce problems.

This seems somewhat unlikely. Anyone report back with a wiped phone and clean-installs yet?

Ya to the op try app and not app+data. I bet that solves your problem. Wipe battery stats and record them for proof.

This is not proof. Correlation is not causation! I used my epic for the first day and it had a great battery life. Today I have horrible battery life and my time without signal is about 50%. I have not restored anything with titanium backup. I think you may be jumping the gun on the cause of your battery issues.

it may cause a problem like that if you restored the apps from a previous different device

So, I'm seeing better battery life today, but I don't think it's related to my wipe, because I still restored all apps + data from my Nexus using Titanium Backup.
I made sure not to restore flash though, and set the facebook app not to auto refresh, and didn't install the twitter app at all, since I dig the tweetdeck beta. I set the built in samsung facebook and twitter syncs to 6 hours this time vs 3 hours before...
And really, that's the only things that I can think of that are different. From about 7:30AM to 11:30, I had about 80% battery life (according to the bar). This includes some web browsing, and playing the angry birds demo for a bit. Charged the phone for an hour via my car charger during lunch, and when I left at 4:30, it was still at about 80%-ish, which is a huge improvement over yesterday.

Too late its Bricked

Never had a problem here. I always use Titanium to restore my apps. I've done one-by-one, and full batch restore.

[Q] Hello guys I'm new here.

Hello guys, it is great to finally find some place like this online!!!
I have a LG Revolution by Veriwon Wireless, and as you can see in my nickname, I really hate LG Revolution because I cannot delete any of stupid bloatwares that have been installed on my phone nor call or go to different menus within two seconds.
The phone is getting slower and slower and I'm almost about to have a mental breakage... I once thought about throwing this #$#$ out and get a free, txt and camera (no video) only LG Glare or something....
Guys do not direct me to weird codes and all that but can any of you here help me through the process of rooting the phone and putting? flashing? the ROM please? T^T
I once tried to do one-touch rooting or whatever but my phone kept on connecting back and forth while after I ran the one-touch rooting program.. and nothing worked. My phone is just too slow to do anything and it takes 5 seconds to actually go to a call function.
I paid freakin 300 for this and I wanna get some use of it.....
How do I root this and put on gingervolt or whatever???? T^T
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAVE THIS POOR KID!! T^T
And just FYI.. I have a Windows 7 64bit Desktop which I tried to root my phone with but ended up failing.

Sounds like this is your first smart phone. To try and help speed out and stuff get Advanced Task Killer this will help kill the apps once you're done using them. Use the link the guy above me provided to root it once you're done You'll be able to get into CWM once you're in there make a Backup before you do anything. Once you're there then you can install a ROM such as GingerVolt which the link for this is here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326542 For the first couple of days after you've flashed GingerVolt your battery life won't be as good as it is now until the Phone is use to the new settings which you should notice more battery life once this is done sometimes worse.

Yeah, root it (follow directions EXACTLY !!!), and then Gingervolt it. NO Bloatware & once you have done both, you will have the confidence to use the Stock app installer to replace anything from the stock ROM that you want to.
Ed

I did mine for the first time last week and if you follow the directions its a snap. You will be amazed at how the phone will perform one you install gingervolt rom.
Just be patient and follow every step. Don't be like me and forget to put the phone into USB De-Bugging and Internet Connection.

Welcome. This is a great forums, and most people are here to help. Good luck with rooting, as mentioned, if you follow directions to the letter it is very hard to break anything...and if you do, these guys are awesome at getting your phone back and running in no time at all....

Follow this, except don't use a task killer. It will actually just kill performance because your phone will just restart everything the task killer closes, which drains the battery and lowers performance. Task killers are evil and for people who don't understand how android drops apps into inactive mode when they're not displayed on screen and doesn't use much of the phone resources (unless of course the program has been killed and the phone has to actively restart it).

It all depends on the permissions that are set for the app. Like I play Cut the Rope on my phone once I'm done I'll kill it with my task killer but it won't restart itself since the permissions aren't set to re-run the app once it's killed.

If worried about apps restarting get Gemini and change the startup permission. Have to be rooted though.

I'm not worried about them restarting, because 90% of the apps that a task killer would kill are apps that I use on a regular basis anyway, so they would be restarted by me launching the app. My point was that if a program isn't on the screen, it's dumped into the memory and remains idle until you go to use it. It uses very little phone resources, so killing the apps doesn't improve your phone much. Using gemini prevents apps from starting automatically, but they start and continue to run when you open them. But since it wasn't idle in the background, certain apps take forever to start, and that's even more annoying. Bottom line, root your phone, add GV2.0, don't use task killers or gemini. They're just a hassle, drain your battery, and provide no improvement to your phone.

I still use GV and my phone starts to get laggy. I use Gemini to kill apps and clear my cache alot.

I posit that doing that is why your phone gets laggy. I'm on gv2.0 with zram enabled and using rom toolbox pro to set min/Max to 245/1501 with smartass governor, and i have had 0 lag since flashing 2.0. I flashed it within a few hours of MT posting it too

My phone isn't laggy at all and I use task killers to kill apps frequently on a daily basis. I'm on GV2.0 1501/546 or something not sure of the exact number for min. But my phone runs perfectly fine when I kill apps with a task manager.
Anybody recommend a certain app to set Cpu with that's free?

So after you are rooted, and swap out your ROM with something decent, then lastly I suggest a name change...

Phone randomly gets hot

Hi,
My HTC one is running the android revolution rom for a couple months now, however recently I notice that at night my phone get super hot and the battery drains quick.
Has anyone else ran into this problem?

weird you might want to flash the newest revolution rom, my guess is that there is an app running in the background. game perhaps? i would just recommend a fresh install with 4.2.2 =D

Sounds like you have some naughty apps or system processes misbehaving, you need to find out which ones they are, try installing the watchdog app and set it to monitor system processes as well.
Also a good one is wakelock detector.
John.

Verify the rom your flashings MD5 checksum.
To eliminate any apps that may be causing your phone to get hot, do the following.
Go to your internal memory and clean up anything that you do not need, so pics, music and videos i would keep, or copy them off, delete everything else that you don't need. *Make sure you leave a working ROM to flash on your memory* (I personally do a good clean up every third flash, so i delete every folder and just leave the ones i mentioned above and a flashable rom of course)
Reboot to recovery and perform a full wipe (Data, cache and dalvic cache)
Install your rom.
Don't install any extras at all
*Do not restore anything whatsoever*, no advanced restore and no titanium
Allow the phone to boot and don't install any apps, just sign into your Gmail and keep it like that for a day.
No overclocking / underclocking no undervolting / overvolting of any kind, keep it on stock kernel.
Turn off unwanted wireless connectivity when not in use, ie: GPS, NFC, WiFi, Mobile Data.
If your phone gets hot after that then I would say that it could be a problem with your handset.
When it's charging or your running an app the phone will get hot, thats a given but if you follow what i've written then your phone shouldn't get too hot.
Good luck m8

Use this app and see which apps getting energy

My theory is that it's bad install. It happened to me on few occasions.

[Q] Any GPS fixes?

I'm really starting to miss the GPS rapid lock from my Thunderbolt. As soon as I'd start maps up that thing would pinpoint me in my bathroom. Since I've gotten this bionic, it won't even lock on me in my house and it's slow to do it even when I'm outside.

If you haven't tried it, TopNTP is a good app to try. It updates/changes the gps to use only addresses in your area to cut down on the fix time*. It's not instant like you referred to on your thunder bolt, but I've found it to help a lot in my case.
I'll come back and post a link if i run into one again.

I think that helped a little. It locked on in a couple of minutes. The first time I tried it today.

A couple minutes is really slow, I couldn't say mines ever been that bad, unless of course i was in a position where i wasn't going to get a lock at all.
Just curious, what's your bionic running? Stock ICS, JB? Rooted, ROM'd?

There's not much else i could help you out with, unfortunately. I'm running the same setup as you, and usually get locks in about 15 seconds or less.
I've seen some people mention a free app called gps status i think. It can time how long it takes to grab a lock, and clear & grab new settings for the gps.
I haven't had a look at it myself, but it may be worth a shot if you get a chance. If i find anything helpful, or for some reason start needing to fix mine at some point, I'll pop back in

Might have fixed itself. When I was in Rockford with my parents I uninstalled maps and reinstalled, next thing I know it was locking on instantly.

If you run into this again, I'd recommend a couple troubleshooting tips.
1) Boot to recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions. Reboot.
If the issue persists
2) Force close Maps and wipe it's cache and data. You'll have to re-configure Maps as you like.
3) Download GPS Status & Toolbox. Download the GPS data in here before opening Maps or Navigation. This should get you quicker GPS fixes. It's free in the market btw.

I'm having trouble getting my gps to work on cm10.1, I restored a previous backup of 10.1.2 and it didn't work. I've dirty flashed, wiped everything and reflashed, cleared the cache & dalvik, gps status clear, rebooted to stock and it worked, and the gps worked before I installed the backup. Running the latest nightly. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem I posted under CM10.1 ROM topic. What I ended up doing is I boot back to stock (Icarus, actually) and ran GPS Test app. Confirm the baby worked. Went Safestrapped booted back to CM10.1 (slot 1) and ran the same app and this time it worked. It's almost as if there's something "stuck" in the hardware despite using a different ROM.
I just say the lockon was quite a bit slower in the Bionic. My old Droid (original) locks on in about 15 seconds. Bionic under stock ROM locks on in 35-39 seconds, and CM10.1 locks in 43 seconds.
I'll try the recommended app and see if that helps.

Problem is intermittent. I tried that recommended top BTM app and did not see any noticeable changes I reverted back to factory and there are no changes noticeable either. The phone just sometimes refuse to see any satellites the GPS test app shows 0 satellites. If I reboot the phone the GPS make sure a few satellites brawl with low signal and it takes about 2 minutes to get a fix. This did not seems to happen under Ice Cream Sandwich.
