Default Some small Q's

Now, I know that this rom is still in an early Alpha stage, but as a test I left it on, unplugged with wifi on, not connecte (having that irritating bug where it won't connect to anything), to see how long the battery lasts, and I noticed 2 things.




A. Should the battery be draining this quick, when it was not used for the 24 hours which it lasted on battery? I mean, no apps were running, and it wasn't even connected to wifi, I usually leave wifi on on my phone by an accident and I don't notice it draining the battery that quick...(my only explenation although I dunno if it's right, is that while it's not connected and there are networks that it knows and can connect to in range, that it is constantly TRYING to connect, and thus draining the battery?

B. It says that it was constantly awake, but if you look below, the screen was turned on like, 2 or three times throughout the day?


Any ideas about these? Anyone know a fix for wifi? I tried wifi fixer from the market, but it didn't work (looks like all it does is reset the wifi) (and please don't suggest the changing channel thing on the router, cause I can't do that in college). Also, calendar won't sync with my email, says sync is down, try again later, and in accounts and settings, it doesn't say sync Calendar, it says sync com.android.calendar...? I tried wiping dalvik cache and reinstalled GAPPS V11...but nothing, still won't sync


Thanks guys.

I would say that is not normal. I watch my graphs loosely from day to day and I never see that sort of drain.

I will also say that mine is never awake for that amount of time. There were a couple of small blocks in the middle of today where it was awake but the screen was off, but for the most part, awake and "screen" on were grouped together.

You might check to make sure you don't have some background task running eating up CPU and battery...

PS: I also leave my wifi on all day, though since it's pretty broken it's rarely connected to anything useful. But even if it is, I can get a good day or two out of the Touchpad with light to moderate use.

Hey man. I'm really glad you posted this. i think we this community can get a lot of this thread if treated right.

I was wondering if you would be willing to change the Tittle on this thread to something down the lines of "Battery Comparison and Issues" Reason being, I think you and I, and many more, can benefit from this by collecting and discussing some issues we are all having.

I was think that this can be an image posting thread of battery status and performance.

Here is mine. (shown Below)

I've compared mine to yours and yours is definitely abnormal. I'd be concern too.

I'm also, well at the least I think I am, experiencing some battery issues and I would like to clear that up by examining other touchpad battery status' and issues.

What do you guys think about this graph? Safe and normal?

Again, let me know what you think about that idea. I look forward to your reply! See ya.

Try the gapp fixer utility, it might fix your syncing problem. The link is in one of the development threads. Sorry I can't help you with your other problems. Good luck.
