[Confirmed solution/work around] dialer battery drain issue on gingerbread 2.3.3.

Hi I don't know if this is the right place to put this info.
I see lots of people are having the dialer battery drain issue in pretty much every version of android 2.3.3. And I haven't seen a working solution anywhere other than upgrade to a newer version of android.
Any way, I'm using a HTC legend a gingerbread version 2.3.3, and I have always had the dreaded dialer battery drain issue.
I have found a work around that helps stop the drain, at least on the HTC legend 2.3.3 version I'm using.
In my case it is simply having the line
gsm.proximity.enable=false
In the build.prop
It would seam to stop the proximity sensor from working with the dialer part of phone.
The only side effect I have seen so far is that the screen won't turn off when u hold phone upto your ear, you can of course turn screen off with power button, at least from a legend point of view.
I hope this information will help others with android 2.3.3 on other phones that also have dialer battery drain.

Hi, here's a bit of an update for those that are interested, even though the proximity sensor has been disabled for phone calls after adding the line to build.prop, here is a work around to allow the proxy to turn off screen again.
Down load "proximity screen off" from the market, in the settings, select enable during calls only.
Now on my phone the other settings seam to be a bit screwy so you'll have to play with them to suite your device for the way you want it to work.
I am still testing to see how battery life is, but so far its looking good.
If you feel like it, I would appreciate some feedback regarding these mods.
Thanks

another point of attack
So.. It seems CyanogenMod team has identified these proximity sensor issues and actually fixed most all of them (on the devices they support). The answer is complicated and nestled into the code. But basically one could say there has been an omission of suspend and wake calls that now make MANY HTC devices not function properly. So, besides this there are SoD issues with some devices after a call.. Same type fix used to resolve and that one usually is resolved with an OTA fairly quickly... But ummm, why can't HTC users ban together and make HTC perfect their sources? They are after all the manufacturer and Sense roms are just copies of their source (modified here and there perhaps)... so the problems have been identified, solutions have been committed by an OPEN SOURCE team... good lord HTC, this has been going on since the Desire.. and just browsing I found Legend, Wildfire S and several others effected..
Great work-a-rounds btw... I just really think the consumers should petition on these issues as they are all related and fixable. Most just hear battery life sucks on the Android and assume their phone going dead after 5 hrs is normal... Well it's not. Just my 2c.

Well my friend , I was a noob about 7 or 8 months ago too, I did lots of reading and learning and used Google to find my answers.
But here's some quick help to get you started....
Before you do anything if you haven't already do a nandroid backup.
You are using ogos gingerbread so you must be rooted yeah, OK so next we need to find out how u rooted, if you went down the hboot 1.02 and unlocked boot loader method, that is great makes my job much easier.
Build.prop is a file located in the
/system/ folder
It is basically a text file that contains a list of settings/commands/startup options.
In my ogos rom the command in question has a # in front of it which disables that line.
You need to edit that file and remove the #. To do this I used es file explorer with root turned on in settings, then just went to /system and opened it with es file explorer.
Or you could get build.prop editor from market and add the line that way, however you need to leave out the = and put the stuff in front in the top field and the 1 In the other.
Simple as that....
If you are say hboot 1.01 and s-on then that's a lot harder for me :-(
You'll only be able to do it via fastboot method, reboot phone into fast boot menu volume down then power. Connect to your PC, it is properly set up isn't it yeah? use android commander to copy that file to your PC, edit file using notepad then copy it back.
If you done it right, good if not, ummm you might need to search for answers for to what you need.
You could always send your phone to me and pay me I only charge $100 per hour lolol

[Q] WidgetLocker wake on volume key not working

Hi there,
my power buttom is about to die, so I'm trying different alternatives to lock/unlock. Widgetlocker should allow to wake on volume key press, but is not. I have activated the "Easy wake" option, but nothing happens. I find strange that it didn't ask for special permissions as other wake apps do.
Im running stock ICS, still unrooted. Already installed tap tap app to wake and screen lock and off. Deactivated both apps to check if they were interfering with WidgetLocker.
Any idea? I'd rather not install any custom rom.
Thanks!

Same problem here...

Here's a crazy idea, why don't you root your phone and install
one of the MANY ROMs with this functionality available

That crazy idea produces a crazy behaviour on my phone: for the last 4 months, using a WIDE range of cooked roms, enabling the 3g connection produces a radio related fatal crash and reboot. Asked in different forums but no answer besides "sent it to HTC", wich I didnt because is out of warranty.
Official ICS release finally solved this. So no plan of going back to hours of research, test and fail.
Pretty crazy, uh?

Cyanogenmod for Alcatel OT-995

I'll keep it short for now and update this topic start as needed.
Here you can find instructions on downloading & installing a preliminary version of Cyanogenmod 10 for Alcatel OT-995.
I'm fairly happy with the progress I've made recently, though it should not be considered stable. Some features are known to be broken, for others it's your job to point out missing functionality.
Links of interest:
Installation instructions
Downloads
Installation instructions
Changelog
Issue tracker
Source code
Please read the installation instructions carefully
Most basic device functionality should be working. A list of known issues (incomplete):
Video mode camera overlay may bug; workaround: launch regular camera, switch to video
Occasional artifcats on window transitions
Hardware video decoding is unavailable, use MX Player or VLC instead.
Not implemented: HDMI out, FM radio
The custpack partition is used to store /system/app, that's why a separate CWM images is required to install CM10 releases. This also means it's backup/restore functionality is currently broken. Advanced backup might allow you to just backup/restore /data though.
You may mention any broken functionality here, but I prefer receiving an issue report here, as that allows me to keep track of things more easily.
Do check whether your specific issue has already been reported, and try to be as detailed as possible.
You should be comfortable flashing/recovering your device - if not, this might not be for you yet - wait until we smoothen things out
Bring on the feedback. I'm sure I missed something in the guides or release.
Disclaimer: I'm still working on a best-effort basis, every now and then my spare time is severely limited..

Nice - nice indeed.

many thanks for taking time and developing for ot 995.
it was just today that i had installed ics and now this??? my lucky day...
anyway, will help you in reporting bugs.... keep rocking.....

extra great news ! Iuss, i'm downloading it right now and flashing it Thank you very much for this release (even though is preliminary)
EDIT: I flashed it. Booting was quick. I was setting the phone and i restarted the phone.
So at first touch everything looks nice
- Scrolling is a bit strange (is scroll downward the screen goes up).
- The phone is charging and the LED is not lit.
- Camera works (photos, video, and panorama with some greenish overlay).
- Data not working. Confirmed.
- Wifi works
Tnx again iuss!

Thanks for the hard work, I'm sure this will be WAY better than Alcatel's ICS release. Just love me some jellybeans :silly:
Just booting it up now. Nice boot logo, I haven't seen that one before. Yours?

Yes, thanks very very much!

Very nice indeed.
Testing it right now

First of all. Fantastic job! Well done! I tested the rom.
My experience was
# My camera and video worked pretty good. It took pictures and video was working. Maybe a little problem with the focus on Video. And some greenish with the transition between taken picture and camera.
# Wifi, Phone works
# No Data/3G
# Led Backlight keys dosen't work when u wake the phone up from sleep. But if u change the light settings the Keys lights up, and works.
# Multi touch works good and responsive.
Thanks alot an keep up the good work!

It seems very nice, but I'm confused because I was asked to unlock my sim again which was done when I bought it months ago, and it didn't even work with that code. What could be the cause, and would it work if I went back to ICS?

You should adjust the settings for your screen brightness. What i did was that I used the quick settings widget. There's an option for brightness click that one, and the backlight keys should light up.

Awesome start...
Iuss, CM10 is great. It has a few quirks, but so far I am loving it.
I have run into one issue, I can't create a Google account. I ran recovery, booted CM10, and went to create my Google account under System settings > Accounts and there is no option for Google, just Corporate and Email. Am I missing something?
I was able to manually download Titanium and restore many of my apps, but several won't load. That's too be expected though. But being able to create a Google account is pretty important to me.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Did you flash gapps? If not do that,then see if you're still not able to start your account. I flashed it before I booted for the first time and not only did I get prompted to start/login to an account, most of my apps were reinstalled.

tumaini418, yes, I did (I followed iuss' instructions including the download links). Another odd thing that has happened is I have lost the ability to access SD Card through USB.
Fortunately I backed ICS before setting CM10, so I was able to Recover back to ICS, and I suddenly have access to my SD Card again. I'm going to stay with ICS for tomorrow as I must have a working phone, but I'll try ICS again later this weekend.

Could you say me if there is a CM9 build which should be totally functional?! It help me to wait CM10!

There is a Alcatel official ICS rom that iuss fixed so that anyone with this phone can use, but no CM9.
I almost forgot, the same rom is available in a tweaked and stripped version also. Thanks to mistercheese.

That was supposed to work, seems I had my brightness control set to 'half' (or whatever it is) - then it does work. Will replace the proprietary liblights - it appears to be broken and/or depend on framework hacks.

As other said, you either forgot to flash gapps, or used the wrong CWM image when flashing.

Previous releases (CM9 included) had less functionality.

iuss concerning the phone asking for a sim pin. I got the same thing when switching from airplane mode. It's a popup. I tried to enter a pin I used in the screen lock before, but of course that wasn't it. It's very confusing because my sim has never had a pin to unlock it.

this release works only with proximity sensors,this is a minimal version of our application,but the next update (will need a least 1 month) will works even without proximity sensors and it will contain a new function (sense lock screen with full weather animations that will looks 100% like the stock sense lockScreen,this will be the first real sense lockScreen),so please keep an eye on our thread.

Good to lock but unlock is unstable (sometimes reactive, long or inoperable) and home key can still unlock screen...

Great app, very useful, dude. I have detected these problems:
You have little translation errors (Préférences-->Preferences; secondes -->seconds)
Can you reduce the sensibility? If your pocket isn't very tight, your phone can be unlocked and cause problems.
There is a lag if you are using the CPU Governors Smartass and InteractiveX. I think you can't fix this, but would be better if you put a notice about this potential problem.
Tested on Gingerbread 2.3.7 (Xperia X8, custom kernel).

Testing now, will use throughout tomorrow and provide feedback in the evening. Really great idea for an app.

So, tested it on my Galaxy Nexus (Maguro/GSM, CM10 Stable). At the moment it seems to be a bit unstable, no FC, but sometimes it doesn't really work.
The first time I switched it on, my home button couldn't bring me to the home screen, just flickered and still on the screen of the app. Only back button or app switcher worked.
Would be nice if you put a option (yes/no) for a notification icon on the status bar.
Is it possible to use the proximity sensor for switching on again or does it drain battery too much?
By the way, if you need translations, I could offer German
EDIT: Tested app version seems to be version 1.0 as shown in the app info. Please add a version number to your downloads and somewhere in the app for easier comparison. And as always, if it is not to much effort for you, please upload also to Google Play, so all installations get your updates quickly.

Works very responsively. A few transityion errors for me and the shake to unlock is a little off.
Tested on HTC One S S4 4.0.3 ICS

Initial use is great. I like the idea of being able to pull phone out and unlocking without any input from me. Check what I'm after and replace in pocket, and locking again with out any input from the user.
Things I will be watching the next few days are unwanted wake ups and battery drain.
Would like to see this stick after rebooting. As it is now, you must start service with every reboot.

Hi Steph310,
you said unlocking is unstable,with which values on the "unlock time out" menu ?
home key should unlock screen only when the phone is out of you pocket,is it?

it is normal that CPU Governors(Smartass) causes problems, the low frequency while screen off can cause such problems
"If your pocket isn't very tight, your phone can be unlocked and cause problems." ==> it should work with ~5 centimeters of height,this is related to the proximity sensor's limitation(but i think it is enough)

OK

The app works flawlessly, but at a point it is too much. I, sometimes rest my finger over the sensor when using the phone in landscape, and it turns the screen off.
(Search on where the sensor stays on Sony Xperia S).
I know it is a beta testing now, but both the UI and the icons need an update.
In summary: Works flawlessly; the idea with it is a no go for me and my phone; UI and icons needs update.

My phone's stock firmware broke my power button

Hello everyone. I would like to know if anyone experienced this, and if anyone has a solution (or at least an idea why).
The power button of my Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) (SM-A750G) phone does not work at unlocking the screen (if it works in the rest of the functions such as opening the shutdown menu, entering recovery, etc.) when I am using stock firmware, but it works perfectly when using a GSI or any other custom OS.
Do you have any idea what could happen? It should be noted that this happened to me when my phone had the stock firmware and I had never modified my equipment at all... It just happened suddenly and for that reason I switched to a GSI. But now I would like to use the stock firmware, but I will not be able to do it with this "bug".
Thanks 4 the help

You mean unlocking or just turning the screen on an unlocked phone?
The app DoubleTap does away with using any buttons to turn the screen on/off. Simply 2x tap it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1_oD7zX7-SMMvesAWsh5_ADA

That's strange. Have you tried remapping the button? Are there options to do so in settings?
Possibly another 3rd party apk remapped without you being aware of it?
I been using this app for over a year. To spite the ad warnings, it has none. Uses almost zero battery, never connects with the internet and is rock solid stable. Saves button life just keep the screen pointed away from your flesh when in your pocket to avoid accidentally taps.
Note: I never gave it administrator privileges as I never use a lock screen. So not sure about its behavior in that mode of operation.

I tried the app a few moments ago and it seems to work fine, the flesh thing is apparently configurable (assign the volume key, which is the most similar).
Regarding the mapping or 3rd party apks using the button, I see it almost impossible, not only because I don't use any app of this type (that reassigns keys) but in completely clean installations of stock firmware this happens to me (and I don't have any option key remapping that I know of).
It's very weird, at least for me. Because not only does it "break" to unlock, but it is only with stock firmware and even if I change the kernel (I tried using the quantum kernel) the key does not work when turning on the screen. But with the GSI it works without problems.
I even googled questions related to Always in display, power or something similar and nothing, there seems to be no conflicts.

Make sure there's no remapping options for it in settings. If so it may be buried or under accessibility options... I've seen hidden Sammy drop down menus with no indication they are there until you double tap the top label. Swell.
Or simply bypass and double tap it!

Anyway, I am testing this app and if I see that it works I will be encouraged to install the stock firmware and by the way I will try to dig deep into the configuration in search of an option that I have overlooked

Do you have any idea what could happen? It should be noted that this happened to me when my phone had the stock firmware and I had never modified my equipment at all... It just happened suddenly and for that reason I switched to a GSI. But now I would like to use the stock firmware, but I will not be able to do it with this "bug".
Thanks 4 the help

It seems like I have a similar problem. Do you have any recommendations ROM for SM - A750GN?

Personally, the one that I liked the most (and the one that works best) is the Google official (Android 10): https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases But one problem is that it is very outdated.
Anyway, here is a list of some GSIs that you can check and test which one works on your device: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
And here is a tutorial that worked well for me to install GSI: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-workings-gsi-best-treble-gsi-roms-for-a7-2018.4069121/

Thanks! I'll try that

EXACTLY same problem here. I will not repet your words, I'll just say you described EXACTLY what is happening with my phone, a Galaxy A7 2018 (128GB RAM, Brazilian model - A750G/DS).
I can confirm that:
1 - Problem of screen never turning on after being turned off for the first time happens at all stock ROMs. Tried at android 10, downgraded to 9, couldn't downgrade to 8 because odin would not write the image, but the problem persisted on ALL stock ROMs up untill now.
2 - Problem DOES NOT happen at the TWRP recovery. Flashed TWRP just now, so I can flash a GSI, and I can turn the screen on or off as many times as I wish at TWRP screen, without any problem.
These informations corroborate, almost without a shadow of doubt, the idea that this is actually a software problem, not a hardware one. I'm gonna flash the google 10 GSI now, with quantum kernel V3 (seems to be a requirement, I would like to make as litle changes as possible) and post the results.

Having a hard time installing the GSI, gets stuck at bootloop all athe time...

Try this. You need flash a "GSI Boot Fix" to use a GSI on A750.
