advice for getting my awake time down (its at 100%)

I just recently noticed that my phone has a 100% awake time and I cannot find a reason why. The partial wake lock function in spare parts says nothing is keeping it awake for a long period of time... Any advice on how to fix this? Any help is much apreciated. Im running fresh 1.1 with gumbo kernal less agressive

USB charging does not allow the phone to sleep.

I rebooted my phone right after i took it off the charger this morning and monitered it throughout the day and it still was 100%...

Kind of a silly question, but have your recently installed any new apps? I know that my Facebook for Android keeps my phone awake quite a bit. In fact, I think I'm about to uninstall it if it still keeps it awake after I remove the widget. Anyone else have that problem with Facebook? Not to hijack.
Did you look in Spare Parts for the total times on Partial Usage?

it says it keeps it awake for a little but not that much I'll try removing that widget and see if it helps

It's not the widget. SOME Fresh ROM users see the same thing when they first flash the new kernel. A reboot fixed it for most.

if all else fails, backup your apps/sms and RUU/root/reinstall rom/restore

try removing the htclocationservice apk. my friend had this problem and thats how we fixed it.
rm HtcLocationService.apk in /system/app
you dont need it btw, android has its own.

No, its not the same as htclocationpicker.
get into your phone cd system/apps
do "ls"
and look for HtcLocationService.apk

sorry im kind of new at this, what do you mean by phone cd?

You need to remove it via ADB. There are stickies about removing programs. Check them out. Just make sure it's the right file.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

after doing a factory reset of my phone the awake time went down on my phone, this means it has to be an app or widget correct?

It could have been an app or widget, but it could have been a number of things other then that. Start adding your apps back 1 by 1 and see if they affect your wake time. I like i said earlier, we were able to fix it by the location service alone.

are you using any task killers?... i had to add clock, and calender to the ignore list.

ahhhh never thought of that! thankyou very much!

All ok now then?

I hate that a lot of custom roms include task killers by default as if the Hero keeps apps open. In the 1st place. I can't stand it when I can't be sure that the browser I'm minimizing will stay open while I'll reply to an sms. x¦

I think he meant a link to the market so we could just click on it when browsing on our phones.. I rather click than having to exit out of the browser and typing the app name ...
From my T-Mobile G2 ...

Get the same Error, on my Prime and on my Sensation with AR HD 6.2.1 (ICS and Sense 3.6)

Hi!
I'll check this asap
Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for your app!
The link with gCalendar is a great idea and I think you've made a great start.
The first thing I'm missing is the option to set the default for new alarms. Say I want a certain song to be my standard alarm. Now, every time I add an alarm I have to change the settings to that song and rising volume. If you could add that option that would be great.
Keep it going.

Hi!
Thanks for your feedback.
You may in fact duplicate an alarm from the main list by long clicking on it.
It will copy it fully, and you may then modify anything you want ;-)

Awesome! That should do the trick.

Thanks
Thanks for sharing your work, nice job.

Hey - is it possible to have the alarm play through the headphone jack only with this alarm clock? I have not found a single alarm clock that will easily allow me to do this - I wake up super early and don't want to bother my roommate!
UPDATE:
Oooohhh this is a BIGGIE - BE SURE TO ADD SUPPORT ASAP FOR NON-STANDARD DENSITIES! Cannot download from the market right now.

Hi!
ATM, this is not an existing option, but that would be worth investingating
Concerning densities, what is yours?

Do you mean being sure the alarm is correctly triggered?
Cause you should see the next alarm on your lock screen...
Maybe I could add something on the main screen (where the alarm list is displayed) and/or create a widget...?

Lightflow

Hello guys
Anyone of you got Lightflow to work on Note9?
If no, can you recommend an app like Lightflow?
Thanks in advance
/CK

Well, it works. But I disable battery led in the app, but it doesn't stop it. Everything else works. I use the same app version as I used on my old Note8 which ran without problems.

Try my app, its much better

I switched from Lightflow to your program a while back and although it works well, it seems to be missing some features such as alternating lights when two or more alerts come in.

It should alternate for more than one notification at the same time, disable battery optimisation, otherwise alarms wont be triggered.

Doesn't seem to do that for me and yes, battery optimization is disabled otherwise I wouldn't get the first notification.

Please add a debug file after you got the problem (2 notifications at the same time) again. (Enable debug under extras)

Is there a way to use the flash as a notification LED?

Since we don't have a LED, is there a way to use the back flash as a notification light? I don't see the accessibility feature on OS 9.06 and several of the apps don't work for me. TIA

Cleanslate kernel has that feature. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/development/kernel-cleanslate-op6t-t3860285

Have you checked "LED Blinker" app? IIRC it should have this function.

Great, thank you. I'll try this.
BTW, I did find an app that works, Missed call reminder, Flash on call. But, testing how much of a drain it will be. Will post results.

the screen thing worked but not the back flash. On a previous post I listed one that worked when you used an alternative flash method. It's pretty good so far. I'm just testing how much it will cost battery-wise. I'm going to try the CleanSlate Kernel too.
