rubiX Focused 1.6

Well back to battery issues for me. Went to bed with 50% battery and woke up late because when your phone is dead the alarm can't go off. When I got it to boot it still had the battery manager history for the last 9 hours loaded. 34% cell standby, 32% bluetooth, 30% phone idle & 4% display. I took my phone off the charger before bed to test this out.

I had this same issue with 1.0. The cell standby is a glitch & a battery drain. I have my phone set on custom saver with off peak at 10:30pm to 6:45am. Actual phone operation during that time drains the battery more than saving it.

Back to .5, which I have better battery life on, unless you have a fix.

i agree with this....5 worked soooo perfect for me..then i started to notice the bettery problems with 1.0 and now again with 1.6..it just doesnt seem to be lasting like it used to...and yes i wiped date and cache...actually i started over and reinstalled the 2.3.15 leak then wiped again and went right to 1.6...i wonder what could be causing this
 
I don't know how many times it has been said or has to be said, but the cell standby reporting is a graphical glitch only. It is not really on cell standby all that time. I'm not sure what is draining your battery, and it very may well be that some app you use doesn't like Focused 1.0 or 1.6. But it is NOT your phone being in standby. I went to bed last night with my phone at 30% battery. I woke up this morning with my phone at 20% battery. My cell standby still reports high.
 
I am having the same issue.. I didn't install any apps and battery drained twice as fast as normal.

If it is a graphical issue, why do some of the newer roms not have it? And why can't the glitch be fixed?

+1 for battery drain. I went to bed with 80% battery.. at 5:50 my alarm went off..it was 10% lucky i set my alarm early..or it will just die before it went off

I have never understood why people dont charge their phone at night...lol.
 
i dont even have any apps yet..i dont restore anything i just try a new ROM..dont install anything for a couple days so i can see how it works...and im not talking about what the battery manager says about cell standby im just talking about how the battery seems to not last as long in general

Now that is a good question. One that I can't answer. I don't know how that all works, so that's a question for the developers. I definitely understand the concern there, and I would think twice about the ROM if that was happening to me as well. But it doesn't happen to everyone, so it baffles me.
 
I have a feeling it may have something to do with the baseband. I heard that the baseband changes if you ever did the ota update. I never did. Rooted 2.1. Sbf'd 2.2. And then started trying out each and every rom. A few of the newer ones have had this battery issue for me. ZapX, KennedyX, and SSX are 3 of the ones it doesn't happen with.

I would like for someone to figure this out soon.

Thanks for any help regarding this.

My battery has been great, and I haven't updated to 2.2 via OTA.
 
+X to worse battery

I too have seen a steady decline in the battery life moving from .5 to 1.0 and now to 1.6. On .5 I was able to get between 25-28 hours on a full charge, on 1.0 it dropped to about 16-18 hours, and in the short time I have been on 1.6 I seem to be getting about 12-14 hours.

The applications and widgets I have installed are fairly constant and I have not installed any new applications that run in any form of persistent or polling fashion. While I don't have anything I can point to as a potential culprit (battery stats show cell standby and phone idle consistently as the top two items by a double-digit %age) it seems that battery life declines rapidly the more I talk on the phone.

As a point of potential information, recently I had a day with no phone conversations and at 10:00 my battery was at 40-50%. The next day I had a 30 minute phone call and at 10:00 my battery was down around 20-30%. All other behavior was the same. In other words it appears that that 30 minute phone call ate a considerable chunk of battery.

I'll try to tighten up the battery vs call stats over the next few days and report back but is anyone else seeing something similar? Are those of you who are saying your battery life is quite good spending little/no time actually talking on the phone? Those of you that are noticing a decline in battery life do you think you spend at least some portion of the say actually talking on the phone?
 
I really love these roms but coming from .5 its kind of a mixed bag.

The undervolted numbers were higher then the ones I was using on .5 but kept getting reboots and lockups.

Anyone having an issue with Launcher Pro and Unread Gmail counts not working? My unread SMS seens to work but GMail will not show up.

Other then that everything seems awesome, a bit of a shock what was Blur in .5 thats not longer here but ill get use to it.

Testing out the battery today and see exactly how long I get on 1.6.
 
Do native(without the use of RingDroid) individual ringtones for contacts work in this release?

Individual ringtones for contacts is still broken in this release.
In fact, the list of known issues for 1.0, minus a few, are still there. More info here:
UNOFFICIAL Known Issues – Focused 1.6 — sephtin.com

Interesting... I use Mabilo Ringtones and definitely have a seperate default ringtone and individual ringtone for my girlfriend...

That might be the case... I was on the leak but sbf'd to stock 2.1 and ran the OTA before re-rooting, so I did receive the baseband change. Also, I'm not sure what people are considering "bad" battery life. Before ever rooting or anything I was getting 8-10 hours of battery and was unhappy. After rooting, Battery Left reports my full battery life as somewhere between 15-16 hours. I can, however, get more like 25 hours out of it if I leave it on overnight because it uses just about no battery to get through those 8 hours. I think 15-16 hours of actual use is a pretty good battery life. The people that are complaining about battery life seem to be the ones that somehow got 30 hours before. Getting 16 hours on a smartphone seems to be quite good to me.

edit: Also of note is that for 8 hours of every day I'm at work where I'm going in and out of 1x and 3G coverage, so I'm sure it's using extra battery to do that.
