[Q] Mik's CM 7 Gingerbread wrong battery temp. reading issues - Optimus One, P500, V General

Hello,
I still consider myself a noob so maybe the fix to this has been posted somewhere already.
I installed Mik's CM 7 2.3 aka GB.
Great performance and speed. Mik you are awesome.
One of the issues i noticed is that it does not give me correct battery temperature readings. When the battery is hot to the touch it gives me around 39 Fahrenheit or 4 Celsius. Can any body guide me in the right direction.

I have had this issue with several apps. They don't seem to be able to read the battery temperature properly. I suggest you to use batteryminder, it's free and you can find it on the market. Very good battery app...

[Q] Benchmarks?

Does anyone feel like posting their benchmarks on the custom ROMs they are running? I know not every GTab will run the same but I would like to get a basic idea of what the hottest scores are. Thanks.
TNT Lite 4.3.x with stock kernel is ~40 fps (Nenamark) and ~2300 in Quadrant. On average.
There are definitely higher scores than that, with some of the other modded ROMs.
2200 with vegan 5.11 Benchmark Atuntu
Thank you guys for posting your benches. I had seen some one some where, posting that they get 60fps. Any one getting 60fps?
there is guide in dev forum where you can get up to 77fps, but the recomended is under 75.
You might mean the frame rate. The default is 50, but TNT Lite and gADAM up the frame rate to 60. At least one mod ups it to 77.
That's not really a benchmark, though - I assumed you meant something like Quadrant.
Im running caulkins rom and clemsyn's kernel #6. I'm averaging around 2400 on quadrant and 3000 on smartbench. The only thing faster on smartbench is overclocked xoom
It looks like most of the new ROMs run pretty fast. If i can get 2200-2500 in Quadrant I will be happy.
I get a little over 3000 qudrant

what ROM/mods you are running?
i got several scores in the 2400s today and one personal best of 2518.
@johnboyjr
Are you bull****'n? 3000? i havent seen anyone say they are hitting the 3000 mark. I'd like to know what you're running too. Did you overclock? I dont think i want to overclock mine.

I have the same setup on my gtab... got 39.1 fps in nenamark, and 2399 in quadrant.
I just set my gtab up today so it doesn't have much on it yet.
There is a post in the development section by chengu that has a loopback fix that enhances read/write speeds on the internal SD. This makes the I/O part of quadrant way faster. I have posted on that thread vegan stock 10x average is 2500+. With the loopback fix its a 10x average of 3100 with peaks of 3333. So no its not BS but really how much do quadrant (or any other test) effect daily functionality.? It is great for bragging rights though, especially to xoomers.

Fyi: restart your tab 5 or six times, I know I sounds weird but it takes that many to streamline it completely. Let it stabilize after boot and then power down, wait 20 sectonds and and power on. It wil take up to six minutes on first boot and get less each time.
It uses boot time to write changes.
Have fun ;-)
loopback fix like others have said
Is there any down fall to using the loop back fix? Heat issues or failure? Why isnt anyone implementing this into their ROMs?
No adverse side effects that I have noticed. Most people have noticed a slight increese in playing video from internal memory and web browsing cashed sights. Read the thread its full of good info.

[Q] Galaxy ACE unstable battery...

I've been having problems with my ace since i bough it. The battery is very unstable... it seems that it drains incredibly fast and always at the same amounts... for example. When the charge levels is at 50% it drops to 35% in 2mins and it always happens when it reaches 50% or so...
I m currently using the cm7.1 unofficial port but this behavior existed since I bought it with froyo.
With the images I attached you can probably perceive the problem more clearly...
If you wonder if I calibrated the battery the answer is yes... and I did it as guided...
I don’t really know if this is a known issue or has been reported already but I haven’t found anything yet so please help...
Thank you so much...

I have same problem , too.
My battery is very unstabile.
For exemple.. i made 20 pictures...and before charge levels is 72% after pictures is 52%....
Yea but those falls in the battery charts are just to drastic...
I wonder if this is desing related...

Hello
If you still have warranty on it just ring them up and tell them that there is something wrong with the battry. they will replace it for you. That is what i done with my galaxy ace
Thanks

It's a hardware/system problem with the battery reporting. Temperature is in 5% steps and battery sometimes in 10% steps. Voltage shows 4mv charged.... wtf? A battery replacement will not work.
Root users maybe try tinkering with the init.goldfish.rc file, it's related to battery.

Is it possible to just do an over all fix to the battery thing? I thought it was a bug that could be fixed by updates or something.

I've had some success with improving battery usage after freezing maps.
yeah, happens to my ace too.
after every full charged, it will suddenly drop to 80% about 5 minutes later.
strangely though, once I got the battery to discharge until 3% and it could still play music for another 3 hours. so I think it must be software problem.
i have done calibration twice, the problem still persist.
oh btw, currently i'm using cm7.1 grif and still loving it so far.

Irritating how it adds 20% right after you plug it in.

What do you mean freezing maps? The application you mean? What does that have to do with the battery? I'm curious.

Maps has a persistent service that's bound to suck some CPU every once in a while.

Which Has Better Battery Life? MIUI or CM7?

which has better batt life? cm7 or miui?
I used CGM 7.1 on my SGS i9000 and battery lasted 10-12 hours, no better no worse than the previous stock Eclaire ROM. But I gained 300 MHz in cpu speed. I use the SGS extensively during the day, mostly connected to HSPA network. Can't help you on MIUI since I didn't try that one though.

hey gustaftoni.. its ridiculous.. many people recommend cm7 over sense. they say sense is a battery hog and that cm7 fixes all battery draining issues. yet, when you install cm7, the first thing you notice is battery drain. i seriously dont understand why people make stupid claims like this.
So you own a Htc. I own a Samsung, so I didn't have htcsense. Maybe the Samsung rom was already optimized for a good battery life. Anyway I get the same battery life but with processor speed of 1300 MHz instead of 1000. I assume batt life would be longer at stock speed. Try an app like juicedefender or similar for longer battery life, that will sort much more effect than changing rom. Cheers
or set lower clock speeds when screen offs

hi bs.. can you tell me what files in my phone to edit to lower clock speeds when the screen is off? also, i have max clock speed at 768 and min at 245. i'd like to lower max to around 500. but the lowest option after that is 368. like i said, is there a file that i can tweak the max to a lower setting between 768 and 368?

...if you can (without stalling your device). The min for my SGS is 100 MHz and I'm already there. Besides some Roms do not support low speeds as well as other ones do. Just like overclocking, underclocking requires luck.
I have used both, and I can't say for sure, but I think CM7 is faster.

Don't think of installing juice defender. Instead of increasing battery life it rather decreases it by high usage!! Used it for about 2 months.. uninstalled it and felt much better, smooth battery..

BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, and/or GSAM Battery Monitor is the place to start... And by the way, CM9 is Android 4.0.x
This questions is kind of like asking "I get terrible gas mileage when I run premium fuel in my car, but good mpg when I run regular unleaded, why is that?"... The answer may be as simple as your "driving faster and farther"... What I am saying is a little more information is needed, because you are not giving enough in your original post.

Please read my last post and try some of those tools to see what's either keeping the phone awake or is draining the battery. There is nothing in the core operating system of any Android version that is going to drain the battery

[Q] [XGO][CM11] Battery Life

I installed CM11 for XGo from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/go-development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-11-0-t2627231
The battery life is not as good as the stock ROM, I have found. Is this the case with other people?
I used to lose about 7% battery through the day, now its like 12%. I can live with that.
But when I'm actually using the phone, it drops 3-4% every ten minutes. I have played with CPU governors and it's gotten a tad better, but I was wondering if anyone else has this problm and if not could someone please post a link to help me? or something...
thanks.

I believe NovaThor chipsets are already old to think that last Android version would create a real benefit. Google optimized Android for better RAM usage together with parallel processing considering the newer chipsets with more cores (that have Quad Core A7). I went back to stock (having the Xperia P). If you want a phone that works extremely well with Android KitKat (performance and battery) you should try to find one with chipsed anounced in late 2012 or 2013.
Ahh thanks. I understand its a loaded question, but which version of android do you think would be better for the XGo? Stoxk only goes up to jellybean, do you think cm10 would be better for battery life?
Thanks.
*bump
Pls just a quick question, is jellybean better for old devices like this?
