Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to test which one might be bad? Any app you know of that can monitor things and tell me if a rogue app is killing the battery or if the battery is bad?

I was running mik 1.1 and was using it pretty heavily with gaming and downloading stuff. The phone died after about 7 hours. I thought that maybe the rom or cwm or something else might be killing the battery. Something strange though is that, like I said, I ran the battery until the phone shut off. Then I left it off and put it in a wall wart charger for about 8 hours and the status light was still orange. My gf had the phone and told me once she left it plugged in overnight and in the morning it was only at like 50 something percent. I thought maybe the charger went bad so I gave her another one and she didn't say anything else about it. I'm starting to wonder if maybe the phone's battery has a weak or bad cell. I kinda doubt that there's something wrong with the charging circuitry of the phone but there could be, anything is possible. I will probably take it to the repair center and tell them about it and see what they say. I tried looking on htc's site for oem replacement batteries but couldn't find anything. I found lots of aftermarket but I didn't want to go that route.

I don't know if it would not be a good idea or not to try and use my original evo battery just flipped over. I suppose if that's the only thing I have to try and troubleshoot this problem then it will have to do.

Can anyone give me suggestions or has something similar happened to you?

Now let me see if I can find that evo battery..........
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
Spare parts, in the market if not on your rom by default, had a battery information tab that will indicate battery health as well as what kind of plug the phone detects when charging (usb, ac, or none)
[EVO Shift 4G General] c00ller:
Like danaff37 said, spare parts can be useful. Also try CPU Spy, free from the market, which shows what % of the time your CPU spends at each frequency, but this actually more relevant for determining if your phone is properly sleeping..

For proper charging you can get an app like CurrentWidget or Battery Monitor Widget which tells your the current consumed during usage or current injected during charging, as well as the voltage in mV. Full charge should reach around 4200 mV, and when charging the current should be around ~800 mA for lower % battery left.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
Thanks for your input. I found the evo battery and did the same thing as before. I ran it until the phone shut off and then put it one the (same) charger and went to bed. About seven hours later, it was still orange charging. Both times the phone was off. Now something that could be a possibility is the charger is weak or bad. When I put my evo on it, it charges seemingly fine. I should try using the battery until it shuts off again and use a different charger and see what happens. Six to eight hours charging, with the phone off, coming from a dead battery, on a Motorola charger that has a rated output of eight hundred milliamps at five volts. I have others at different output rates and a two amp charger intended for an ipad. Some might say that the charger is too much for the phone. The charging circuitry only pulls as much amperage from the charger as the phone was designed to. Now on the other hand if I put a smaller output charger on, say one hundred and fifty milliamps, it will take longer to charge the phone than usual. "They" say trickle charging is better. Whatever. I will post my results if I find any. Or, I just might trade the phone in for a nexus s or an evo 3d.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Since the latest update to CWM phone-off charging finally works again but the light never turns green. It charges fully but with the phone off the LED never turns green. It's not just you.

EDIT: If this is not the actual question I apologize. The posts were far too long to actually read ;)

[EVO Shift 4G General] kristiniverson:
Forgive me, I am truly a newbie to Android after having a BB for 8 years. This battery thing is killing me. I am on my 2nd Evo Shift, the 1st one wouldn't last for more than 2 hours with barely any usage so they gave me a new one. This one barely lasts 5 hours. I am barely running anything. I took it into the store and they thought I was going to be running all these programs, but I kill everything. They told me the "battery trick" about turning off the phone and unplugging it and plugging it back in 10 times so I did that but I am not getting any more life out of the battery. My display is constantly using at least 70% of the battery it says even if I turn it down very low or if I set it to choose its setting. Do you have any advice for me? I am not running a task killer, I kill all the programs I am not using. I have no widgets running because I am afraid to use the battery, I only have 2 screens out of the 7 with things on them. I am being help hostage by my cool phone that I want to use but am scared to kill the battery! (sorry for the long post)
[EVO Shift 4G General] ravenwing:
Ok if you use a lot apps just close them after (for stock 2.2) . Even on stock you can literally stream music and movies for about 4-6 hours. (sometimes a lot more) . The background info that runs doesn't use a lot of juice , but if you want you can go to your home screen any of them hit menu (but not with the app drawer open) select settings go to accounts and sync turn off background info and just turn it on manually when needed such as the android market . You can also turn off the auto sync and just manually choose to sync , like in the clock (and gmail etc.) it will say no weather after you click it , just hit menu you will see a little sync button option to sync and voila you have weather . So when you visit the market it will automatically ask you to turn it on (background info as will all apps that need this) . And the screen on any android is a battery killer . So when not using your phone simply tapp your power button to turn your screen off and lock (and to keep from pocket dialing lol) . But if all you do is text , emails , and web surfing (surfing drains more but no where near as much as streaming) you can literally do that all day , the screen will actually suck the most power . If manually turning off your apps is too much . Just turn your phone off (not just the screen) and on . If a new app didn't turn off after you start your phone back up you know that will be a problem later . So when not using your phone turn off your screen it will last soooo much longer . I only make a call or two and a couple of texts maybe a few minutes of internet with opera mini . My battery lasts over 24 hrs , but I barely use my phone . Hope that helps .
[EVO Shift 4G General] ravenwing:
BTW if you have a bunch of apps running in the background video games etc ... and you charge your phone all night and in the morning it is not charged . You should probably turn your apps off :) . Or simply power your phone off which shuts off most apps . Then turn it back on . The phone should not take all night to charge , it should only take an hour or 2 . 3 hours max .
[EVO Shift 4G General] arachnomancer:
i suggest watchdog lite,it monitors cpu usage and alerts you when 1 uses more than your max threshold.if this helps,please click thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G General] RickNY1971:
When you changed ROMs, did you do it with a full charge? If not, your battery stats file is probably messed up.. Ive used Battery Calibrator free from the market in the past to fix that problem.. I believe a brand new battery on the Shift shows about 4200mV when fully charged or just slightly below that.. Run the app, when it gets close, calibrate (which essentially just deletes the battery stats file and creates a new one)

Oh, and in other news, OSAMA'S DEATH. BOOYAH
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
The fact that anyone is still considering a Samsung Phone after the update mess reinforces my theory that people love to be screwed over by companies.

And the Osama is a good news bad thing.

On one hand he's dead, on the other it doesn't change anything for anyone and he will be seen as a martyr by his supporters.
[Epic 4G General] ksmullins88:
Ya they can speak for themselves. I'm never getting another samsung phone again.

They have awesome hardware, but the software and cust support blows. And stupid things that should be perfected like registering every button on a keyboard or working led lights or a kickstand, shouldn't be an issue on 500 dollar phone.

If they dont screw us over with variants samsungs support wont suck as much
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
@the Samsung part, I honestly can't really decide. The GSII is just nice, in my opinion, and I know about the update mayhem but the fact that we've gotten a leak for Gingerbread this quickly gives me a bit hope for the moment.

The Evo 3D is a great phone, and honestly the only reason I didn't choose it was because I like the new TW4.0. Specs wise, Evo 3D wins hands down. But just remember, it's all opinion.

@Osama, yeah, his supporters could be a problem, but without a leader still helps. I mean, after Hitler's suicide (even though it was around the same time as the war ended), his supporters seemed to fade. I don't know; we can only hope for the best and that the death was fortunate.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Samsung hasn't done much to prove that they will be able to put enough pressure on Carriers to test updates to get them to users in a timely manner.

Hitler's suicide was a completely different scenario, a country/regime cannot function without some sort of leader, terrorist/guerilla groups can simply fracture and are largely self-sufficient cells.

Also Hitler's supporters didn't so much fade as flee to South America and try to start a fourth reich, just sayin'.

Okay well maybe a tie.

GSII has a better resolution and thinness, but the evo 3D DOES have 3D, and I've seen how well that works xD.

Then again...the evo 3d has only 8 GB storage on the sd card. Dammit, I gotta word these things better. ._.

Otherwise, same similar 1.2GHz dual-core proccessor, 8 MP camera, etc

[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Evo 3D has a higher resolution.

960 x 540 vs 800 x 480.

Performance wise the Evo 3D pulls ahead in some tests while the Galaxy S pulls ahead in some, its mostly a toss up. The difference is nowhere near 1st gen snapdragon vs hummingbird.
[Epic 4G General] gmadez:
I'm pretty sure S2 will kick harder, but Evo's 3D features + higher res screen + the fact that 1st Evo had one of the greatest dev-communities makes me think I will go HTC next time.. =O
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Oh okay, didn't know the GSII's resolution hadn't improved other than the Plus. I feel pretty stupid atm lol

[Epic 4G General] epic4GEE:
I want to know the same thing....higher res crappy display, a chip set that hasn't shown us anything in real world tests, the whole 3D gimmick deal, and will be locked down in some way or another. The sgs2 is completely unlocked and is all straightforward non-gimmicky no frills hardware.

I still doubt I'll own either one thanks to sprints new upgrade rules. If I had to choose one of these awesome phones it would likely be the sgs2, for raw power and simplicity. Oh and the S-amoled+ display, that has 50% more subpixels which is going to make resolution look way higher......read the review its all there.
[Epic 4G General] professoroak:
GSII. The sAMOLED+ display is just too much to pass up. Going back to a lcd screen would be tough. For me at least... plus I love the whole ultra slim design. I am personally voting for a keyboardless sprint variant.
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
if the GSII comes with a KB. I just can't get rid of the KB>
[Epic 4G General] Wildheathen0341:
If the GSII isn't altered to much by U.S carriers I'll have to go with Sammy but if Sprint plays around with the original design it's the Evo 3D.

Thinness, no keyboard, and no Samsung updates is why I am seriously considering going Nexus - until I read the specs on the GS2 and know I

deal with Samsung updates and will have my big beautiful screen!!

And no keyboardis my vote

On last night's news - what crazy people will now do is scary, but he is a terrorist, and I cannot believe he existed this long, now in plain site in

[Epic 4G General] mrzood:
Whichever gets more dev support this time. Looking at you cyanogenmod!

So probably the Evo.
[Epic 4G General] KillerFu:
I think thats what it comes down to for me. Which one gets more Dev. support. Without the dev's I would hate my epic.
[Epic 4G General] epic4GEE:
Exactly...... we have great devs, yeah we don't have 8,000 spinoffs of the same rom...boohoo right? Wrong, we have few roms all unique and powerful.

Why do so many epic owners have evo envy, when we still have a superior phone at the end of the day?
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
Because it's not superior. It could have been, but Samsung and Sprint teamed up and crippled it.
[Epic 4G General] epic4GEE:
Other than getting to official froyo and official cm7 support....what is superior about the evo?
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
This has all been hashed and rehashed to death. I'm not trying to debate about it, i just know that i went through 3 epics to get one with a keyboard that worked correctly, but I only bought one evo and have not encountered any problems. I know you wanna defend your phone ( especially since you named your screen name after it, lol) but the fact is that it was poorly supported. Plus i bet the smarter consumers here stay away from Samsung after this.....

They have definitely fooled me twice, instinct, and epic. I wont buy another phone made by them.

And remember the whole Samsung John thing? Where the hell is he?

Looks like he made us out to be "johns"
[Epic 4G General] epic4GEE:
Its not really about defending my screen name/phone lol....the epic is simply superior in every way and my bud has an evo and my epic shows its superiority every time they meet:D

P.S. I know nothing about samsung john.....good for me I guess. And yes no need to continue this debate, I was just stating the facts. Now evo3d vs sgs2, is going to be who likes/needs 3d vs who don't.
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
I can see that you are young. Enjoy your epic.
[Epic 4G General] averroe5:
Well regardless of whether epic4gee is young or not, he is correct that the epic has superior hardware compared with the evo. A lot of people think the evo is better simply b/c of the namebrand recognition that the Evo name has managed to attain. There is nothing wrong with the Evo or the Epic. I have used both extensively but I prefer the epic as a daily use phone due to its gpu and media/game powerhouse capabilities.
[Epic 4G General] dandrumma:
Galaxy S2 easily gets my vote.
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
Hardware is just the beginning of what makes a smartphone a good product. Software and support are very important as well. I've never argued that the hardware wasn't better, however the support for the epic wasn't very good, in my opinion Samsung burned a lot of people by the lack of support and communication regarding the phone. The devs here make these phones as nice as they are, and the evo has support from the XDA community that the epic section can't compete with. Just being honest, so don't get hurt feelings over an internet forum about a powerhouse phone released by a company that doesn't care about it or the people who purchased it, thereby ruining what could have been the best offering Sprint had.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
The only reason the evo has a larger dev section here is becaue more people got fooled into buy infurior hardware.
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
And you have inferior spelling capabilities.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Ad hominem, classy.

But HTC phones, for the most part, have larger dev communities thanks to HTC's open nature and above average build quality, but with the direction HTC seems to be taking that won't be for long.
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
That's probably the most true statement yet.

And yeah i keep it classy when an idiot who doesn't know what they are talking about puts up an incorrectly worded and spelled troll post.

Btw, the evo was the best phone when it was released.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Damn Wes, are you as big of a prick in real life as you are on the internet? BTW, you're the only troll I've seen in this thread so far.
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
So making true statements makes me a prick? I suggest you clean out your mangina before calling me a troll, i own both phones so I'm pretty sure that makes it ok for me to have an opinion about both of them. How about you stir fry? Do you own both, or did you just jump in here to be a baby because I made statements you don't agree with?
[Epic 4G General] faceless:
wait, which tests are the Evo 3D ahead in?
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
I have both. The only thing aout the evo I like over my epic is... well nothing. Yea they have more dev support but we have all the roms we need. Id rather have 2 or 3 awesome roms than a closetful of mediocre roms. In the end my epic is faster, has a MUCH better screen, and a keyboard. Its all about preference but as far as a general consensus of which device is better the epic wins hands down. If you can't see that then you must be in denial. Don't get me wrong its a great phone... but the epic is just plain better.
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
Good rebuttal, no name calling, solid points.

I agree with you on all of your points, and it is a matter of preference, I just prefer my evo, although if i were a gamer or someone who watches movies, on my phone, i would choose the epic every time.
[Epic 4G General] coke32:
official cm7 support... you act like thats not a big deal... evo's dev community > ours. its almost not even on the same level... so its hard to even compare it to. They have the top roms going in the right direction.
[Epic 4G General] Comando156:
I second this as my thoughts...
[Epic 4G General] cheema:
SGSII for me. It is really difficult to pass up on the Super AMOLED plus screen. In a Sprint store I put an Evo next to an Epic. Evo screen seemed washed out. Epic's screen was just beautiful. The pluses for the new Galaxy for me are:

1. Screen.

2. No locked boot loader.

3. Battery life.

4. Camera. The one on the Evo is garbage, even though it is supposed to be 8MP.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
Wah! Its called on-screen keyboards. Get used to it.
[Epic 4G General] Blad3:
the keyboard was the only selling point for me to get my epic. haven't had problems and can't live without mah KB.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
On anothr note let's talk about things we hate about both handsets lol for one, I can't stand that the camera lenses protrude and both phones lie on them. I hate the stupid infinie sending issue. I hate how my evo has a giant shadowy blotch of lcds because the screen sucks. Anything else? Lol I figure the things we hate about the handset will bring us together in distaste :)
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Also... one thing incredibly retarded about both phones... WHERE ARE THE KICKSTANDS!!!! 4.3 inches and no way for either phone to hold itself up. Its not a dealbreaker... but if the evo3d had it id give it more consideration. If the sgs2 had it, it'd be no contest.

Inb4doityourselfcuzimarandomwhotalksforthedevs
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Yes we all know the evo had a better development section. That's a given. But a lot of the roms look the same. You can only have so many roms before they mimmick each other. We have some awesome roms that all bring something different to the table. My wife had an evo I have an epic. I love my epic so much more. Its so much faster. I flash both phones a lot so I have tried many different things with each phone. We can debate this all day long but I know one thing for sure. More developers will start to come to Samsung when HTC locks down their phone so tight they can't get root. Ill be rocking my Samsung rooted with custom **** while the rest can have their 3d and be on stock.

[Epic 4G General] professoroak:
Sadly, "It's the software, stupid!" Again, the ONLY things I'm jealous of from the Evo are official CM7 and MIUI support and normal AOSP roms. But the "regular" sense roms for the evo can't beat our few yet awesome TW roms.

Hopefully this time around the GSII can get a bit more support in those areas with its proclaimed openness and trump the HTC competitor in every way, not just hardware! :)
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
I'm hoping once the Nexus S 4G comes out on Sprint and hopefully able to pull out Vanilla Gingerbread out of it, we would have our choice of either Vanilla Gingerbread OR CM7 for the Epic. I think that alone would pull us ahead vs EVO. The Epic would get newer ROMS before the EVO (via the Nexus S 4G) as new versions of Android are released, far ahead of the EVO.
