So i definitely don't think my battery usage is normal. I've been using aggressive freedom since Sunday and it really hasn't gotten any better. Now mind you I have had the EVO since the first week it came out so my battery could just be shot.

But anyways here's what im looking at.

Yesterday my battery life while streaming Pandora in the morning for this long only dropped to about 79 percent.

And to answer a few questions yes this was a fresh install. Yes I use amon ra.

I got rid of stocks and news in htc and my Facebook is only set to sync once a day so i have no clue.

Thankfully I can charge my phone at work.

Anyone got any ideas?

Your Android OS usage should not be so high. Mine is normally at 2%. You may want to try Better Battery Stats -

[EVO 4G Android Development] ItsDon:
Did you wipe Dalvik as well? That and Cache both need to be wiped. That said, Mik did state that upgrading won't always work and a clean flash is always best.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerryGNYC:
Did you also wipe the Dalvik cache?

If you're using ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM), you should wipe both cache and Dalvik at least twice (I used to do it 3 times, now I use Amon Ra, and recommend "upgrading" to it...")

HTH,

It would be nice if someone with the know-how and time could come to the rescue with this issue.

I tried streaming a 720p mp4 to my ps3 and the video just stopped and refused to play while the audio played like normal.

I believe the problem is in the video part and not really the audio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Regardless, the art of flashing is to "bare" one's self to another, therefore my spelling/grammar was proper and perfectly executed. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerryGNYC:
Maybe we should start a thread in the OT forums - Semantics and Rationalization

Ya think? :D

Is that what they do for entertainment in your neck of the woods? :p

Yeah its weird this is actually the first day I've seen it at the top of the list normally its my display is like 79 percent and i only have it up a quarter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] guitarjockey:
I think my phone just might not like aggressive freedom. I was reading that the evo and some of the new galaxy phones when having a high android system in battery drain was mostly kernel related now allowing the device to go to sleep. Was actually on the front page of XDA today. I think I might switch to more freedom. I was running stock freedom and I didn't have amazing battery live but it was alot better then this for sure.

I should have taken a screenshot of my phone before it died but I charged up to 100 percent at 11 and at 4pm it was dead, I was at work tell 3 so I barely touched the phone.....

I had that exact issue a few times today as well. Fresh, wiped install with aggressive freedom. I was running WiFi at the time of the connection issues if that matters.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nevell:
Speaking of connection. I can't make calls while roaming. I have everything data shared and it includes roaming but, I always get "Welcome to Verizon Wirelease your call can't be completed a dialed please hang up and try your call again" I've tried profile updates but that doesn't fix it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
Love this rom so smooth. I upgrade to latest radios and my battery life has improved I tried using kernels but it doesn't play nice with my camera. Unplugged for 12 hrs and im at 48%. Great work mik also coil great work with your themes. Really has me not wanting a new phone thanks guys.

Unable to send or receive pics

I am unable to send or receive pics through MMS. I had this issue before and cannot remember the fix. I flashed to 2.56, did full wipe as usual first, but unable to send or receive pics.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lifeuw19:
Jadeboy... I ended up flashing as you suggested and following your instructions, using Amon RA.

Also, while reading the article you linked on task killers, I installed WatchDog. Upon dl'ing it and watching some things, I keep getting notified that my "wallpaper" is a problem. thing is... I've only got a picture of my children up. It's not animated or anything.

Could a simple picture be the problem?

I did, install an custom lock ring. Would that be considered "wallpaper", in this instance?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

See attached...

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Interesting that the wallpaper would be considered a problem, the lock ring should be included in that, I wouldn't think. Maybe try to save the image as a different type. What type is it saved at now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] beezy69:
just flashed this coming from cm7, scrolling through the home screens and stuff it seems kind of slow...how do i make it more "snappier"...also any other tips and tweaks for this rom would be appreciated :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerryGNYC:
As I belong to the paranoid IT guy group, I suspect a possibly less than benevolent process. I just checked my processes using Task Manager (by Houmiak), and I don't have a process called wallpaper. I'm using one of the HTC wallpapers. Don't see anything in running services, either.

Tested - set a .png file as background using Astro to open it in the Gallery app. No process named wallpaper.

Ever download any wallpaper apps? Click any online adverts? Make sure install 3rd party apps is unchecked... And if you don't have Lookout or similar installed, IMHO, you should get one ASAP.

I'm not paranoid, they are watching, and are out to get me... :D

Hi. Welcome to MikLand! That's most unusual behavior for one of Mik's ROMs. We'll assume you did a full wipe (twice, you say?) with Amon Ra before installing... :)

Did you restore any apps _and_ their data using Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lifeuw19:
Currently saved as a .jpeg. Just noticed... it's 15.2 MB in size. Would the size be causing this? I'll have to resize it and save it as a .bmp... see if that changes things.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Ok... it's not the wallpaper. I took it off and put on just one of the stock, black ones. Still showing up a problem in watchdog.

My assumption... it HAS to be the lockring, right? Anyone know where I can pick up the stock one? I flashed the new one, so I assume I'll just reflash the stock and see if that changes things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dubez:
Im using the superuser that came with 2.56. I've tried everything and it wont open anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I think if you save it as a bmp it will be even bigger. I'm guessing that's your issue. You could just change it back to the stock wallpaper or any of the htc wallpapers and see if it happens again.

Any help with using nexus boot animation with mikg? What would I need to do? Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerryGNYC:
The boot animation lives in /data/local/ - hTC_bootanimation.zip - yes the case is mixed

1) Nandroid

2) Wipe cache and dalvik cache (my safety rule - CWM = x3 AR = x2 :))

3) Flash your zip if that's the format it's in

I flashed one I made at the UOT Kitchen (and I donated (happily) :)), but I had to rename the old zip, then the new one, after it didn't work when I rebooted. Found the names were different... Voila! :D

HTH,

you can always install the stock rooted ota on your phone to double check.

I'm my area sprint just sucks. Especially forthe last 3-6 months or so. Data just crawls and I have 4 different phones on my account and the all have slow mms issues once in a while.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbarry123:
the dropped connections started right after I installed 2.56. I am going to have to go back to 2.55 until something is worked out.

The rom is perfect though other than that!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Have you reported that issue here?

Also have you flashed any themes/mods/kernels/restored any data? Also what's your recovery and wiping/flashing process?

EDIT: Upgraded your radios?
[EVO 4G Android Development] silenthatred:
I'm thinking that is coincidental. I'm on 2.56 and no dropped calls or sms problems. And the MMS problem I had started well before 2.56 was even around. I just never really got around to fixing it until 2.56. :D

Did you change your radio? Custom PRL? Unless the ROM is flashing one of these things, which I'm pretty sure this one isn't, it kinda hard to blame a ROM for you dropping calls. It's like blaming Microsoft or Apple because your hard drive keeps crashing.

[EVO 4G Android Development] tatnai:
seems like a mixed experience on the wake lock issue. I was sleeping fine initially with PRI 1.77 on b2-b4, switched to PRL 01115 so thought I'd try 1.90 PRI again, and seemed to work fine (didn't really check for wake-locks, though, so might not have been sleeping). Upgraded to RC1, noticed wakelock. downgraded my PRI to 1.77, and my wakelock disappeared. still gone after multiple reboots, sleeps like a baby again.

so seems like some phones sleep fine, others do not. probably due to this being a test version, some phone hardware versions just are not going to like it.

as a side note, calkulin's undervolt script is not loading for me. people who think that it is working, did you check to see if it is really loading? may be placebo effect, my guess is it is not compatible with the gingerbread kernel.

OK, I just blasted through 15+ pages since Mik posted about uploading RC1.

I'm running the leaked GB radio, PRL 1.90, HW 0003, and stock MikGinger 2.1 RC1 kernel, and just noticed that I can't download received MMS.

I searched the thread for a fix, but everything seems to point towards this being cleared up in beta 3.

Should I downgrade back to the stock radio 2.15.00.11.19 through bootloader?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
no, it's ok. i've read through the same file. it's the script's code, not a log/output. the line you guys are reading is basically what the script does if it fails. "nothing works, so display SCRIPT FAILED on the screen", basically.

there's probably another file somewhere that shows the results of what loaded properly.
