Best Battery Life To Date

I've been experimenting with some of my settings--syncs, antennae (on/off), etc., and I've been able to get the following battery usage. SetCPU 128/499.

I'm not a power user--I use the phone, SMS, MMS, email...the standard usage, but I don't listen to a ton of music and I play non-graphic/action games like Wordfeud.

When I'm not using the phone I turn off data and wifi. I even turn off background sync if I remember to. All my animations are off...you get the idea.

Granted, my phone habits aren't for most of you, but I was on a quest for great battery life with a modest amount of screen time--I was trying to achieve over three hours of screen time and it looks like I made it pretty easily. I should be able to get to 5 days with roughly 3:20-3:40 of screen time.

I don't always use an austere setup; like I said, I was on a quest. If you routinely play Angry Birds, use google maps and navigation, these stats are not achievable--but I just wanted to show you what's possible if you ever need to go for long periods without charging.

Merry Christmas everyone--and Merry <fill in the blank> for those of you who celebrate something else :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
Yes, I use Amon Ra's. It may be all moot anyway, because for the umpteenth time in the last 2 days, the whole thing has frozen at home screen #6. Upon reboot, I'm taken to home screen # 6, which has no app icons on it, but I'm unable to do anything. The screen is frozen there. I can't open a thing, and the Rosie is gone at the bottom. I can hear text notifications coming in; I can hear Emails coming in; I can see these notifications in the top notification bar, but Sense isn't responding to any touch.

Admittedly, I'm getting rather tired of wiping, reflashing, then redoing all my personalized settings 4 or 5 times per day. I'm going to have to go to another ROM, because this one is just causing too many of these weird partial lockups.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
This happened to me yesterday even after nanding back to a nand I had from three days ago I kept getting same issue had to start fresh which takes time. This all happened when I had to pull battery because phone froze.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
That's the common denominator here, too. This happens, it seems, only when I do a battery pull (or when I change out batteries to charge one and use a fresh one).

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

In trying to diagnose what might be causing this, can I ask if you are pulling your battery with the phone still powered on, or do you power down your phone first, wait till it shuts off completely, then pull the battery?

I confess that I have always pulled the battery while the phone was still on (but the screen off), so I'm wondering if this might be causing the problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
OK, everything is restored. Powered down the phone completely, pulled battery, re-inserted, powered on and...success! Everything seems to be OK.

So...WAS the problem my pulling the battery while the phone was still on (but with screen off)? While I can't say for absolute certainly seems so. I'll know further when I do another battery pull in the next day or two.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
Bad news. I had to do a battery pull because I had been using the phone so much to restore, and guess what? The problem has RECURRED! Dammit! I'm frozen on home screen # 6 and now have to start ALL OVER from scratch. Again.

Because I really don't know where the problem lies, and because I can't keep spending 3-4 hours on this several times per day, I'm afraid I'm going to have to try another ROM. This is just too unreliable.

What's frustrating as hell is that I follow the wipe instructions as explained here, yet this damn problem recurs. I'm sure it has something to do with my data that's being restored, but in order to even begin to figure that out, I'm going to need days, and I don't have the time with Christmas 2 days away.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
My phone froze couldn't turn off by holding power button I had to pull battery to turn it off. Once I put battery back turned on phone the boot up was pretty quick never boots up this quick. Then I was stuck on the lock screen but no way to unlock phone.

Everything was working perfectly then I set it to fastboot and it resulted in a boot loop with no mikg splash screen but just normal EVO white screen...battery pull, nandroid restore and back to normal...anyone else have the boot loop when using fastboot enabled?

Just so you know...I was running the blue glass theme as well as resetting the camera back to not using the volume button as shutter control

Anyone know why my HTC calendar won't synch events from Facebook... I'm using the HTC calendar. It used to have little triangles on the days when there was birthdays... Since I've flashed this to 3.0 its not synchronizing
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
Just flashed MikG 3.0 a couple of days ago and I have to say, I am very impressed. A couple things that stick out:

- I like the bar at the top of the screen that indicates my battery charge level. Kind of slick. I set my LCD density to 200, the first time I've ever done that on a MikRom, so maybe that's why I'm seeing this, but I assume it's standard for everyone right?

- Baked in fonts is awesome and works great. When I would flash fonts on older builds, it wouldn't affect the Sprint banner on the lockscreen. Now it does. Very nice little feature that makes a big difference.

- Like the inverse color option for the notification pulldown

- I'm running the stock HTC kernel for the first time since rooting my phone, and my battery life seems just as good or better as it ever did with Freedom or Chop Suey. Anybody else seeing this? I'm kind of surprised. Per battery monitor widget, my phone sleeps while using wifi between -19 and -22 ma consistently, which is slightly better than what my phone would sleep at with custom kernels and honestly as good or better than any of the AOSP kernels. Amazing work.

1024.

Longer answer; somewhere between 128 and 2048. You may see benchmarks appearing to improve all the way up to 2048, but reading ahead that much does come with a little cost, and you probably don't want to tune the whole phone just so your gallery thumbnails will appear to load quickly.

I have the same set up as you. I use 1024. It works great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hTc_Newbie_77:
Have you synchronized "fb for htc sense" in your settings? I'm running it just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Raistlin1:
Awesome, thank you for your input/experience on that. I will give 1024 a try, glad you responded cause I was gonna pick 2048.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Graphic Anomaly:
+1 Exactly my experience also...to the tee. MikG 3.0, with that sweet battery bar...ROCKS! (:

I am also getting really nice battery life/ma usage with the stock kernel. I'm starting to wonder why I never gave the stock kernel a try. I do kinda miss being able to choose the governor and clock speeds, but apparently I don't need them. (:

battery life ? chop suey kernel

I'm getting impression that 2.61 had much better battery life, however i flashed choop suey kernel. First 10-15% rom chews threw batter life like lightening after leaving phone charged overnight. Is that a kernel issue or rom issue. On stock rom is this happening. If rom issue i'll have to go back to 2.61 as i had awesome battery life on that one. I just like honeycomb lock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
That is a combination of proper calibration of your battery and it's all the kernel, nothing to do with the rom.

So you saying i should reflash with stock kernel vs chop???
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dmaxx67:
I noticed with my EVO on this ROM that after I flash ROM and kernel the battery will have a quick drop for a couple days. Try to run battery down to 25% and charge up for a couple days and u should notice the drop diminish.
[EVO 4G Android Development] culaponk:
Thanks,

I like this rom, smooth and fast

I hope will support it in future
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Let me put it like this....

The hardware in our phone has a fail safe for the battery. Once the charge hits 100% it turns the charging off till it reaches about 95% then turns back on. Your phone will still show 100% and the light will be green but if you happen to pull it off when it's at the hidden 95% then when you unplug it will drop fast. Now if your using it really heavy also then it can be down to 90% or lower before you even notice it.

Can this be fixed.. no. There use to be sbc (slow battery charge, or trickle charge) kernels in the froyo days. But no one making kernels has attempted to recreate the coding for this charging because it could potentially be bad(exploding batteries or batteries that loose the ability to hold a charge).

What I do to keep the upper end of the battery % is I bought two 1900mA batteries including a stand alone charger. I switch out the batteries instead of plugging in the phone. The wall charger will charge a battery to a more true 100% and because there is no power draw it stays that way even after the charger stops. I can stay in the 90% range for a good hour with heavy use using the battery swap method. I highly recommend this way.

hey guys, hows everyone?

hope ur having a good holiday weekend :)

im playing around with the evo again

anyway i can change the icons on the rosie ? mainly the right one for the Personalize.

can't change the shortcut for it in the settings/tweaks

also anyway i can have the 5x4 icons in the launcher? (5 vertically and 4 horizontal)

and what about a stock battery with percent % mod ?

thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] culaponk:
To change shortcut just press hold and change custom apk

You can use UOT to change the battery or just goto tweaks and choose Statusbar Options/ Battery Options and choose a battery text style.

I was using ChopSuey-v.9.2.7-UNIVERSAL on MikG 3.0 and I'm trying SUPERSONIC-SENSE-AnthraX-2.6.38.6-REV_003 since early today without any issues until now, seems best kernel I ever flashed on my evo.

I seem to have an issue with the ROM, I can't seem to restart my phone at all. When i go to restart it stays at a black screen, only way I can get it to come back up is flashing it again in recovery. It kinda sucks cause I change batteries throughout the day, and have to reflash it every time. Anyone else experiencing this? if so what did you do to fix it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
Ah, the same problem I and one or two others have had. This happens whenever I (and they) pulled the battery, even after fully powering down the phone.

I've been using Anthrax with MikG 3.0, and I'm seeing something weird.

When I set the governor to smartass, it will stay at 245 MHz for a couple seconds, then cycle up a little, eventually getting to 998 MHz and then cycling down. It keeps repeating this pattern maybe every 20 seconds. I notice it when I just have SetCPU running without doing anything. If I change to Ondemand, it stays at 245 MHz like I would expect.
