Use BetterBatteryStats to look for any unusually high wakelock times.

Do you know what your time since charged was? (I wish it would display total time since charged there...) The "since charged" definition seems weird and hasn't reset on my phone in ages... I've tended to use "since last unplugged".
Pandora appears to be your #1 wakelocker. eBay mobile seems to be pretty bad too.
NetworkLocation wakelocking can be eliminated by unchecking all of the location features in Settings except for when you want network location/GPS.

I assume you were listening to Pandora during that time, in which case, that wakelock is normal. Playing music from your device will also hold a wakelock when the screen is off. If you weren't listening to Pandora at all, then something is wrong.
Whoa. Why the heck is eBay holding that wakelock . Check your notification settings and if it's still holding it, clear its data and try again. Otherwise, I'd uninstall it. I always use the browser to access eBay anyway.

No. In the device settings, turn GPS off until you need it and leave network location checked/enabled. Go into Fancy Widget under weather settings and UNcheck/disable GPS location (GPS is unnecessary for weather updates), verify that network location is checked. Then, I would recommend changing your refresh settings (to update less frequently). I'd bet you have it set to update more frequently than an hour. I also use Fancy Widget and mine is set to 3 hours. This should take care of your network location wakelock (unless another app is also updating with network location).

BTW if Wifi is on but not connected, in Froyo it seems to scan way too often regardless of build.prop setting. Netloc should wakelock less if wifi is off.

Hey ent i noticed after trial and error that phone stays on 100mhz while charging ?but when disconnected it hits deep sleep and there has been no bad wakelocks.wonder if thats y we get slow charge

I installed BetterBatteryStats because I was curious as to why my phone always seemed to drain so quickly. I am rooted and running infused 1.5.3. I have very few widgets, one that actually accesses anything, and don't do much but surf the net or the forums in the morning. I would unplug it at 6:30 and go to work. By about 8 or so I would already be at 90% or less. That was me hardly using it. Well I hope I got my answer. Apparently Beautiful Widgets was KILLING me on the wakelocks! I wish I took a picture of it before I uninstalled it but jesus it was bad! Thanks for the good info I'm gonna keep an eye on it and see how it does.
Oh funny thing is, I was not even running Beautiful Widgets! I use Fancy Widget instead lol.

No, slow charge is a few other things. ALL android phones wakelock when charging.
The phone shouldn't count CPU/screen/etc usage against charge current at all but it does. It seems to do it less so on GB. Still does it, but the spikes seem lower even if I crank stability test. Gonna be a while before I can test a navigation run.
Seems like on GB, difference between screen off and running stability test with screen on is about 200 mA. Haven't tested in that much detail on froyo. Another way of putting that - putting the screen on and cranking CPU will reduce charge rate by at least 1/3 of the 600 mA charge limit.

[FIX]Your GPS will work! Update!

Here is a flashable fix for GPS. It will put AngryGPS into your system folder.
This is the only thing that has worked for me with every ROM I've tried.
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/GFYVVOWRB0
Reboot to recovery
Flash Zip
Reboot.
Go outside. Test GPS with an app that requires it. Give it some time to lock on.
I take no credit for this. It was sent to me by a friend. Just passing along.
Update: thanks atb1183
what black magic is this?!
wow, phone use to take 30s to a few minutes to get a lock. this and other roms
then i make a shortcut (add > shortcut > activities > angrygps> ...angrygps)
run that, click on tracking test
another 10s and i get gps lock. now all apps get gps lock almost instantly.
i can actually get gps in my work building that cant even get 3g, 4g, edge, or even voice signal without repeaters running.
I hope other devs include this sorcery in their roms as well. and somehow make it run automatically daily to ensure awesome GPS

This method will get you a lock inside in seconds with like 5 meter accuracy. You can make the shortcut using launcherpro. Other launchers may work. Thanks again atb1183!

Yes, with every thing I've ever tried it will lock but it takes 5-10 minutes. I have tried various tweeks that have been suggested with libtestmode, gps aids, and gps status. None seem to make any real difference.
When I saw this thread I just flashed the zip on top of what ever state it was in, and again I don't see a difference.
So I'm wondering if there are optimal settings needed to take advantage of this zip.

I had a semi fresh flash of octaine on my phone before flagging this, nothing special and it worked like a charm. Maybe reflashing to clear all of the other things you tried will help.

Get GPS Aids Donate app, download new LTO file. Also, calibrate compass and pitch and roll using the GPS Status app.
Allow 10 to 15 minutes for first lock either outside, in car, or near a window if indoors.
Report your results here for further diagnosis.

Also, there were some great posts from cnote/jager/etc earlier when I was having a lot of GPS trouble. I'll post links when I get to a computer.

I rerouted my GPS through a Sony system instead of googles. Seems pretty snappy but i'm still testing everything...

I pulled lbsTesMode.apk from an old ROM. Using supermanager, I went under apk manager, sleceted lbsTestMode.apk, then activity and selected the shortcut icon the first entry (.lbsTestMode) to make a shortcut on the homescreen. Went to my homescreen, selected the new icon; went to SUPL/CP Settings and put supl.google.com for the server. Then I dialed *#*#INFO#*#* selected phone information and scrolled down. I hit the refresh button and checked what was in the SMSC box. I then replaced that with 07913121139418f0. Since then my GPS takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get a lock. On some phones you can make those changes by dialing *#*#3214789650#*#*, but for some reason I get an FC when I dial that (it's service mode).

[Q] Anyone else cannot confirm OK with PackageInstaller ?

No idea if this is a ICS custom rom thing, but I remember it happened on stock as well.
When trying to install an .apk from sdcard (sideloading), I get the PackageInstaller confirmation window. Sometimes the right side where the OK button is, is non responsive (left side on Cancel can be clicked). After some trying, it works. Now, I have no idea what causes this, but it's ****ing annoying and seriously makes me want to throw the phone up the wall.
Anyone else noticed this ?

Did you enable installation from Unknown sources?

I'm the developer of Lux. PackageInstaller shouldn't have any issues with Lux installed provided you haven't turned off 'compatibility mode' in settings.

You might have to wait a couple of seconds before Lux disables itself. Lux needs to poll to check the current foreground app and disable itself. It polls every 3 seconds, unless it has detected the same app a few times in a row, in which it slows polling down to 9 seconds.

No problem. I wish there was a cleaner solution, but alas the Android API doesn't provide an intent which warns apps that a secure view is being shown.
Really Android should be drawing secure fields above everything else, rather than disabling the view - whoever thought that was a good idea isn't very intelligent.

Hi,
Any one noticed bad GPS reception after upgrading to latest ICS? Usually it takes Maps 2 to 3 seconds to lock to GPS, not it takes 2 minutes.

I use my GPS everyday for work. I have noticed from 2.3.6 that it takes longer to locate my position and it says "follow the route" instead of starting the directions. If I start driving it kicks in and works fine. At least it hasn't crashed on me. I had something wrong with 2.3.6, it would want me to set it to manual network time in the middle of driving somewhere. I will try those fixing and let you know.
