Thanks for the help. Didn't flash the radios since didn't want to brick the phone. I'm assuming they're up-to-date, though as it came from the stock sprint GB firmware. Just recently rooted 2 weeks ago and went to CM7.1, but wanted a more Sense feel. Oh well, everything works so far.

just came back to report that I am getting 3 full days of heavy use on my evo

ive got mikg 2.59 + more freedom kernel

I even run 4g for a few hours throughout the day.

now keep in mind this is on a 3500mah battery.

the phone is running so fast and smooth.

"Does someone have an alternate Download Link for 2.59 ?? My dwnld keeps failing on mikforums"

You need to D/l it on a computer and then push to your phone d/l straight from your phone wont work...

2 things. First, a few if you asked me to report back how I liked the Epic 4G Touch that I upgraded to last week. So far, it's friggin amazing. None of the normal Samsung crap (lag, file system issues, etc). Phone absolutely screams. Have NOT rooted yet, haven't seen a glaring need to yet. Here's hoping Mik does some of magic for the E4GT in the near future...that'll force me to root.

2nd, fresh flashed 2.59 on the Evo and gave it to the wife (to replace her OG Epic piece of crap) and so far she's loving it. And that's saying something, cuz she's picky. Doing this will keep me hanging these forums too. :D As usual, great job Mik!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Dubez:
2 quick questions, how do i disable the screen capture function on 2.59? And can someone direct me to a link or how to properly calibrate my battery?

Oh and I may need to update my radio, my signal has seem to have gotten real ****ty in the last month or 2.

Thanks in advance

Follow instructions for flashing radios very carefully.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wisiwyg:
Just something we should all be aware of... the solar cycle is changing for the worse for radio reception. The last several years have been 'good' for radio transmissions, with little solar flare activity. Solar flares disrupt the electromagnetic spectrum - disrupt radio waves. We are coming into an increased time of activity, with the next several weeks being a high point as one of the largest sun spots recorded rotates to face earth. It is as large as 17 (maybe it was 7? read the article a couple of days ago - regardless - really big) earths currently and will be facing earth for the next several weeks. Facing earth isn't the problem, but if it releases solar flares, then we could have problems.

So, over the next several weeks, if you've been living on the fringe of reception, it is likely to get worse with no change to your phone or provider. Mother nature is acting up.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Graphic Anomaly:
In my mind, there's no way that's with "heavy use". I'm running 2.59, with "aggressive" Freedom, and also use a Sedio 3500 battery...and get about 24 hours of "heavy use"...and consider that to be good. The reason I say "heavy use", is because in that 24 hours, I average about 6 hours of screen on time, and 6 hours of talk time (with Bluetooth)...and those are the two biggest battery killers. That's also why i don't believe in posting screenshots of the Android battery stats, because It's meaningless, unless you know how much screen on time and voice calls were used in that time. I mean, I could post a screenshot of like 2 weeks without charging, if I never used my phone. I also always keep Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, mobile data, and sync on all the time. That's what I consider to be "heavy use". I'm very happy to get a full day of use, without charging...and thats why i use an extended battery. (:

Help

My phone has been restarting after playing any kind of game for a few minutes. my phone would heat up sometimes and restart or no heat at all and stil restarts. At first i thought it was the rom so i tried other roms and it still does the same thing so i went back to mikrom because i like this the most. DO you guys know what is going on here? Why is restarting all the time when i play games or intesnse Facebook surfing on the internet browser not the app?

Are you using any custom kernels other than stock? If so, you might want to try a less aggressive one or go back to stock. Good luck!

My wife's EVO was doing this (totally stock). It only happened under "heavy use" like yours. Sometimes you'd have to let it sit without the battery for a few minutes, otherwise it would bootloop or black screen/5 LED blinks. Sprint swapped it for her, no more problems...

Okay em I missing something? I have MikG 2.58 rom which I thought is the latest. WHere the heck is this 2.59 you guys are all talking about???

Also, can someone point me to the right direction.

My girl's phone keeps running out of internal memory because of to many apps so I want to partition her phone and use aps2sd. Anyone know what thread has directions regarding partitioning?

And lastly, she bought a micro sd card from target a while ago and put it in her phone. The funny thing is she got an 8 GB thinking it was more then what she already had. She doesnt know what class it is so I wanted to know if their is a way to find out.

mik great job!!!! been running 2.59 since it's release and getting amazing battery life

Update: sorry if some people got the wrong impression so I will give more detail on usage: standard battery, charged 3 times never to full charge; one for 20 or so mins, about 1hr, 1 hr 30 min. screen on time was a little over 5 hours at time of screen shot, so moderate usage.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Neitmrh15:
Wierd, I thought it was GPS but I turned it on and off and it didn't effect anything. I went into location settings and turned it on and off again and it went away. It's 2.58.

Please realize that every time the graph shows an up-angle that you are plugged into a power source and the battery is being recharged... You can see the period of time on charger by the green bar at the top of the blue lateral bars, with the blue bars indicating active use time. During the 2+ days, there are indeed 2+ days on battery, along with 3 1-hour or so sessions recharging the battery during those 2 days.

Most of the time, people are interested in the length of time you can go between charges.

I try doing a search with the search tool on the site but some of the threads seemed out dated and others had different approaches. I just needed the best way going about it. The douche baggery comment came from the fact that he took his time to give me a link on google and show me how to type my question on the search bar like I have down syndrom. That seemed pretty douchy to me.

Anyways, I guess in retrospect I shouldnt have asked the question on this thread. Just thought I can get a quick response that way. Sorry.

It's been a while since I've been in this thread but it looks like the same old place to me. You have to understand that he was trying to help and after a year and thousands of people asking the same question he was forced to make "the list". This list contains things such as the links you got. They are not meant to insult, but rather to be funny. After countless times of answering the same question he was just copy/paste the "answer". Some take it good and some take it bad. But don't get it wrong, this is one of the best threads to find answers.

I have the issue resolved with the wild swings to my battery life. If you look at the picture attached, the entire female casing for the micro USB housing was jiggly at first, then fell out completely. I was not able to charge my phone anymore at all after awhile. I suspect that with the charging port being jacked up, my battery never got a true or consistent charge towards the end of my phone's life. So I warrantied the phone and got a brand new one in a box from the Sprint store. After re-rooting my new device I am back on Mik 2.59 with Aggressive More Universal, and the InteractiveX gov set at 245/768. I am getting AMAZING battery life now. So with all my frustrations, it seemed to be a hardware issue and not the fault of Mik's awesome rom.

Hi Mik,

I've been using your ROM for a while now. I noticed that the lights on the buttons never goes off and that it is killing my battery. Can you look into fixing that?

Thank you,

I haven't needed tethering, so I can't answer that part yet. But I feel a tablet in my future, and it's not Tylenol... :D

I've been using More Freedom (Universal) for some time. Quick and stable. You may also want to try ChopSuey, it's good too. But you'll definitely need to test each for at least a couple of days for it to be a valid test. Every phone _is_ different...

Notification tone for the GMail app is now set within the app, and is under Menu / More / Settings / Account Settings / your email address / Labels to notify (at the bottom) / Inbox / Ringtone (phew...)

Hey guys, functionality wise I'm loving the rom so far, but I was wondering if anyone can offer a suggestion on how I could get better battery life. I was running the stock kernel for a few days but switched to the freedom aggressive kernel because of poor battery life with light usage. After giving this kernel a few charge cycles, I find I'm getting the same battery life that I was from the stock kernel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here are some screenshots.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
It looks like you've got something keeping the phone awake. If you look at your image you will see a solid blue line just blue the hours off charger. It shouldn't be solid. So you might have an app keeping it awake or something. You could also try the less kernel, maybe your phone doesn't like the aggressive. 40% in 2 hours is definitely not normal.

And as a matter a fact I am in the process of trying to figure out some of the same things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Looks to me like the battery is losing it's ability to hold charge. Specially you giving the info that it is the same on different roms.

Might need a new battery.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:

[EVO 4G Android Development] krwdre:
Thank you for the response. My battery life on synergy was good, meaning it could last me the whole day, but with that rom I had signal/data problems. With mikg 2.59 I have no signal or data problems but the battery is a an issue. I should also mention that I got my battery replaced.by htc a couple months ago.

As for the blue line on my screenshot, it's there because my WiFi was on during that time.

[EVO 4G Android Development] beepsilver:
I'm by no means an expert but I suspect you'll have the same problem. I don't see any problems from your screenshots which can reflect symptoms but not the cause. You might try doing an alarm dump using a terminal emulator (free in the market https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImphY2twYWwuYW5kcm9pZHRlcm0iXQ..).

Once installed and you're in the emulator, type:

cd /sdcard

dumpsys > AlarmDump.txt

Exit the emulator and find AlarmDump.txt in your sdcard root directory. You can send it to me or post it here--the file should show far more than your two images. I've seen a lot of complaints about Facebook apps, google maps (specifically latitude), the stock calendar and high frequency syncing causing battery problems. If I can't detect your problem, we'll get you squared away on another thread (Betterbatterystats) that is sure to resolve your issue.

I'll keep an eye on this thread tonight so we can see what you have. Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cbkham:
I should have added that my buttons light does turn off when the screen goes off, but it does not go off seconds of not being used.

2.59 questions

I couldnt find a 2.59 thread so I am asking here.. just 2 questions:

1. I set the default notification sound to what I wanted in the system settings. HOWEVER, when an email comes it I get a different tone. I dont know where this tone is set from. I cant figure out how to get a custom tone for email?

2. on the lock screen, I know you can use the weather theme to get the weather and put shortcuts on it, BUT is there any way to put widgets? I would like to put my agenda on it. I know I can replace the lock screen with WIDGET LOCKER and do this, which is what I was doing... BUT I kind of like the new lock screen.

Thanks...

[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
Did you make sure notification sounds were enabled in the mail app?

Yes.. and when new mail comes in, it does play a notification sound.. JUST NOT the one I set as my default notification... it plays a DING tone and I have no idea where it is getting that tone from or where it is set. When I was using a different ROM, you just set the default notification and it would use that in mail.

Maybe I am missing something?
