Since last night i've started to experience a lot of timeouts. first it started with a vb message saying the site was overloaded, then it became an under maintenance message, and now i'm seeing the site is just timing out.

The site should be back to normal. There is occasional overnight maintenance at around the time you posted. If you are still having issues, please post a tracert to xdaforums.com, so we can see if the delay lies on the route to the server, or if it's the internal networking.

I just got a Desire HD with Cyanogen and in settings > info ... I don't see the build number. I tried using those secret codes (*#*#1111#*#* and family) but they do nothing.

What's wrong? And how can I get the build number?

PD: I just saw that I have term emulator, maybe I could get the build number from there?

I had 2 4gb microsdhc cards that didn't work when trying to root my Nook Color. One was a Dane-Elec and the other was a Kingston brand. I then bought a 4GB Sandisk, which finally worked. I'd like to buy a 16GB card now. Which card/class is the best? I was looking for a 16GB Sandisk Class 10 card, but couldn't find anything.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I've been trying to sort through some threads but I am not seeing a real definitive answer to this.

I recently switched over to the series III rom to give it a go from CM7 and last night at full charge I unplugged it just to wake this morning at 14% batter left. This is the identical issue I had with Myn's Roms. Myns I had a wake issue, this one showed 8 hours unplugged 1 hour wake which I played some Rio before sleeping lol. Still both same end result.

My question isn't so much how to fix it or improve it because that question HAS been beaten to death. I am just curious as to what makes the Sense Roms do this specifically. CM7 I was getting really good battery life leaving everything on.

Also, is there an app that actually monitors usage? I don't feel Spare Parts or the stock system reading is telling me everything I want to know about what's using my battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I'll see if I can be definitive for you....:)

My guess is that you have a wakelock issue and if you are using baseband 2.15.00.11.19 in conjunction with PRI 1.90_003 I'm willing to bet that is the culprit. Downgrading the PRI to 1.77_003 takes care of it, by the way.

See the above response

I wish I had an answer for you as to why that is. I can only assume that synchronizing with email, weather, social networks, etcetera could be major factors.

I had bad battery life with CM7

SystemPanel Lite & aLogcat are very helpful. With aLogcat, there is realtime monitoring and you should pay attention to anything displayed in RED repeatedly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
hahaha thanks for the definitive break down.

I have downgraded to 1.77 and it's still pretty bad. Again, not really looking for solutions but more of a reason as to WHY the difference.

thanks for the app suggestions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
You're very welcome and I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Enjoy your weekend, my friend...:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VegasEvo4G:
One more app suggestion for ya--

Watchdog

It monitors apps and processes and alerts you if one goes rogue on you eating up your battery. I have found that in conjunction with system panel to be a great monitoring system.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
If you can do it, because I don't know how yo use your phone, turn all your data off unless you actually need it.

I do this now, since I found out I can go 2-3 days without a recharge, if I don't need one. I don't use data much, anyhow, except my weather widgets and the times I go on my browser
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
My usage consists of call text and facebook lol. The clock widget has weather so that too I suppose. Never use 4g. Maps on rare occurrence.

Is there a simple button for data? Without going to settings every time?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddlmr:
If you never us 4 g try miui. I consistently get 20 hours of use regardless of what I have turned on. Good luck!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I like miui standalone apps but the whole iphone-esque layout I cannot stand.

I like sense. If it was an issue with I NEED battery I would go back to cm7. I would rather go beyond adjust your pri, and disable half your phone and see if there is a specific reason sense roms go all Monica lowinski on your battery. Haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
You're on koni's elite III? Does that come with come with '4g' as one of the toggle widgets in the notification pulldown? If so, you can modify that so that 'mobile data' (3g) toggle will replace the 4g toggle. (if you don't want to do that, you can put a widget on your homescreen by going to add a widget, then scrolling down to 'settings'. Once you hit settings, you'll be presented with more options, 'mobile network' will toggle your 3g on and off at will)

If you do want to modify the pull down toggle, and you have Root Explorer, or another root level file explorer, it can easily be done. I don't think koni's III comes with a widget.txt file already, so you'll need to make one. I'll upload the one I use, which toggles GPS, Brightness, airplane mode, mobile data, flashlight, and sound, so you can use that as a reference, or modify it to you're liking. Once you have widget.txt made how you want it, you need to put it in /system/customize. You can do that using root explorer, or

adb remount

adb push widget.txt /system/customize

adb reboot

here's a list of what you can add to the notification pulldown toggles (6 at a time) And here's a link to the original thread, by JsChiSurf. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836721&highlight=notification+toggles

(don't forget to pipe delimit them): Spelling must be exact, capitals matter. No spaces, and use | to separate them.

Code:

toggleAirplane

toggleAutoRotate

toggleBluetooth

toggleBrightness

toggleFlashlight

toggleGPS

toggleLockScreen

toggleMobileData

toggleScreenTimeout

toggleSleepMode

toggleSound

toggleSync

toggleWifi
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Disabling "Always On Mobile Data" is helpful. When you're not actually surfing the net or using data, it'll sleep saving you battery usage.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
THere is a widget for data on Koni's three. Long press your screen/widgets/settings/mobile network and you'll get the data widget.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
@k2buckly that's some great info, I appreciate it. Will hit the thanks button when I get on my pc. Gives me a new tinker project lol.

As well as others.

So my question still stands but I think we have established the culprit. Mobile data. Now what makes the sense roms so prone to mobile data usage vs other roms causing accelerated drain?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batman58:
Go search in the Mik rom thread about IQAgent and IQRD. Google them as well. IQAgent is a nasty app Sprint uses to log information about you that they shouldn't be doing.

People are deleting them wirh root explorer or freezing them with TB and having some luck. I deleted them and it really helped my battery life. At least check in to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
This app makes it a pain but I will. Essentially I would like to get enough tweaks and info to make one thread possibly a sticky for this issue.

This seems like the similar issue of the vibrant. We had to freeze all the drm, functions because they were always talking to samsung for verification. Regardless of having licensed products or not.

I would like to get to a point where we can get these wonderful sense roms to be basically fully functional with respectable battery life. Maybe just my own opinion but I don't think its right we have to essentially disable our phones down to being no better than an old flip phone.

I don't mind doing the research and leg work either. Im a year late on the evo so I need something to do haha.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madflasher:
To go along with all the other handy advice. Here are some simple steps and explanations on how to help battery drain.

http://androidforums.com/1383478-post1.html

Read up and take some or all of it and try it out...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batman58:
Nice, some pretty good info in there,.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
This is the holy grail of what i was looking for. I am sure it was in the 1000+ page thread somewhere but I never found anything that explained the CDMA radio usage. I always found "turn off data". No offense to those who posted, the help was appreciated but I was just looking further into it then most do. I am more of a "why" person then a "i don't care just fix it" person.

As I said I am about a year behind on having an Evo so some of this info is DEEP into some searches.

Excellent read, I am going to try these out and have watchdog and system panel going. Before this read I have my phone pretty close to the 1% idle, I doubt I'll maintain that but it's close to satisfactory.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graphic Anomaly:
The best advice I could give is this...If you want a "Sense" based rom, I would recommend MikFroyo. The community has gotten so big, that he now has his own site themikmik.com. The reason I feel this is the best rom, is because everything is repacked, cleaned, optimized, and tweaked to the max...which makes for basically, the fastest Sense rom experience you could possibly have. There are also plenty of theme's, if your not one for the stock look (I actually am).

If you don't already use a custom Kernel, I would recommend netarchy-toastmod. His Kernel's have always been great for me, and with SBC charging too. I just ignore the SBC scare tactics. I've been using SBC since it came out, and have not had one single issue.

But the best answer to the "Why?" I could give you, is...USAGE. Unless there is and actual software/hardware issue your having, then all that's left to blame is your usage. Radios that are on, the signal strengths of them, monitoring software in use, and just simply...how much you use it. Which brings me to another point...it's cool to use stuff like Watchdog, or System Panel to see if there are issues, but after that I would recommend getting rid of them, as they themselves eat battery. I'm not saying the destroy your battery...just that they use it. And the more you have running...the more it gets used. The only "active" monitoring software I use is Battery Monitor Widget. It is probably the best app to monitor your battery/usage that exists.

I have never "downgraded" anything on my phone, always update my PRL & Profile, and have not ever had a software/hardware related issue. Then again, I don't flash much...I just stick with the things that work great. (:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sador74:
You better try Azrael X v.40 rom, it give you a long battery live and also after you unplug your phone it takes a long time to start seeing any change on you battery status icon. I tried different roms and this one has everything working,my make concern about roms is "battery life" and speed. Also with this rom I always have wifi on, use wireless network as location, Background data on, auto sync on,exchange push mail on, weather sync on, and live wallpaper on. so far that's my setting and I can go through the day with a single charge. (I'm not doing advertising on this rom, I just want to let other know about how good is in Battery life.
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
I'm planning to create my own custom rom based on 2.1. I have tried the Android Kitchen but have had no luck, I get lots of errors about java exceptions, etc. Please could anyone tell me a WORKING way to deodex the stock rom.
[GT540 Optimus General] patryk95juve:
Try wait some time... kitchen try use old smali version and deodex rom correctly

or

Try xUltimate deodexer (find in google :P)
[GT540 Optimus General] despotovski01:
Why don't you just remove the odexed apps? It's easier than deodexing.
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
So that means removing, Phone.apk, Settings.apk, and pretty much every system app.
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
I am trying this script but getting bootclasspath errors. If I could retrieve the bootclasspath then i would have no trouble de-odexing. Thanks

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CMoney87:
That is the animation for flashing the phone from flashtool. It happens after the first time you reboot after upgrade and should usually stop after about 2-3 minutes unless you messed up the flash.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CMoney87:
Once you redo the flash make sure everything is done before unplugging and then be patient as it takes a few minutes to calibrate everything after the flash.

That animation is normal and nothing to worry about. It can take up to 5 minutes to finish and reboot but if the flash is incomplete it could hang there. Wait for flashtool to say for you to unplug and reboot. You probably just got ahead of yourself and something didn't finish right. Reflashing everything should fix it for you.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wess0:
it doesn't work and they show me the same picture :( :( :(

View attachment 558132
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CMoney87:
Again you need to be patient. That animation is supposed to happen. Its the animation for "flashing" the phone, hence the camera!

Leave the phone alone after you finish flashing. The whole process of the first boot can take more than 5 minutes or so.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wess0:
i make sure about it and i use flash tool and original ROM and wait for it more that 30 minute but the same picture is appear to me for a 10 second and then back to SE logo and hanging :( and when i use SEUS it told me that there is an update and i thought that mean the software doesn't install on it although that it told me it install :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CMoney87:
First flash whatever FW SEUS is trying to give you as an "upgrade" then wait until its done and leave the phone to boot and calibrate. It may take a while but if the flash is complete it will start. Then use flashtool to flash whatever FW you want and again you will need to wait.

Your problem if its hanging itself up is that the flashing was incomplete. If your USB cable is plugged into a hub then disconnect it and hook up to direct USB port on your PC. Hubs can sometimes transfer to slow and mess up the flash.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wess0:
Im still waiting for a 10 min !!!!!! and the device is not support and still stick on SE logo !!!!!!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wess0:
i connect it to the portal USB and waiting for along of time does it take more than 30 minute and i know what flash tool and SEUS do but the device is till of sorry but this is my first flash for x10 i was used x10 mini pro and it was more faster in flashing than x10 :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CMoney87:
The flash is incomplete. You need to redo the flash following my instruction in the last post. It sticks on that animation for a long time normally but not that long.

The flash replaces every system file so each flash wipes the phone. Make sure in flash tool you also select 'wipe user data' or it will get stuck on SE logo if you are changing from 1.6 - 2.1 I bet that is your problem if the flash really was complete.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wess0:
i check the 'wipe user data' on the flash tool and it didn't work i tried every thing :eek:
