i'm just bored to death with sense...we've had a real busy month with all these sense 2.1 +3.0 releases and it got real crazy and now i'm spent...i miss the days of my G1 and vanilla android....i want to get back to that simple smooth fast user-controlled UI...in fact, i think the only thing i prefer on sense to aosp is HTC's calender widget...i am not a fan of ADW or LauncherPro...prefer the stock launcher...

btw - keep us updated on your battery issue with the GPS/Navi...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ydnandy:
Looked into this behavior a little more... seems like the battery bug (shows depleted icon when full charged) may have fixed itself, maybe after a reboot. I haven't seen the problem since the first night when i flashed this, so it could have been something funky with changing the theme.

My battery still drains pretty quickly on this stable build... based on the advice of @quocamole, i looked into spare parts to see what was keeping my phone awake. Looks like its Maps and Touchdown (which i use to manage my work emails). The android battery manager touchdown has only used 2% of my battery (i'm down to 73% remaining after only 2hr 30 min). Maps has "kept awake" the phone for 10m 31s with cpu total at 3m 47s. Touchdown has kept awake of 19m 28s, cpu total of 6m 27s. Phone has been idle for 41% of the time, cell standby 47% (no time without signal), display 8%, maps 3%. Seems to be dropping quicker than usual... i've been using Touchdown for a long time, so not sure whats going on with it now... might try to re-install it.

I think GPS has always killed my battery.... i just got in the habit of using my car charger whenever using navigation...
[EVO 4G Android Development] spencer88:
I posted this in the Q&A forum, no response.

I'm running Deck's stable 1.2 ROM. I'm having issues with the GPS, it just never locks on when I go to pull driving directions.

I tried the dialing the number, inputting my MSL code (from a sense rom) and then nandroid back into my Deck rom, still didn't fix it.

I also read that Deck's 1.2 has the latest, working GPS drivers, so I don't think that should be the issue.

Does anybody know of anything else to try?

Also, my GPS works just fine in a Sense ROM.

[EVO 4G Android Development] raphenucleus:
That was one of the first things I tried, but I couldn't get it back to the way it was before. Regardless, I'm fine with the way it is now.

The "Join" function is an AOSP thing, so you wouldn't have seen it in a Sense ROM, like Fresh. That's odd that it reverts to "Do Not Sync" upon reboot; I've never seen that before. You could try going into Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Facebook and select "Clear cache"; if that doesn't fix the problem, try "Clear data" as well. If the problem still persists, uninstall the app, and reinstall it from the Market. Don't restore data or anything from Titanium Backup or any other backup program you're using, just set everything up anew.

You could try installing some of the other GPS drivers from this thread and see if any of those work for you. One thing to note, though, is you'll have to reinstall them every time you flash a new ROM and the GPS doesn't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
My GPS also didn't work after flashing the gb-evo-deck ROM. After some reading, I tried all of the GPS drivers in the other threads and none of them worked for me. However, what did work for me was this:

1. Made a nand-backup of my gb-evo-deck ROM.

2. Flashed a stock (or rooted stock) factory 4.24.651.1 ROM.

I used the rooted, deodexed one in xHausx's thread. Flashing the ROM installed the latest, factory Evo GPS driver.

3. Verified that the GPS works with this ROM (it did).

3b. Make a nand-backup of the factory ROM if you like (I did...who knows why)

4. Restore back to the gb-evo-deck ROM, and re-test.

It works. Sweet I hope that this helps someone.

Thank you for your time.

[EVO 4G Android Development] peterpunn:
I'm having a strange battery problem. As others have reported, battery life has been significantly lower than I got with Deck v1.0 on the same Tiamat kernel (~12 hours as compared to ~30hrs with similar usage). When I go to battery usage on the Battery Monitor widget, it shows the biggest culprit is Google Maps, with 42% usage. Makes sense that if I take that 42% away I will go back to my previous battery life.

Now I haven't actually used Google Maps all day. I did open it last night for a few minutes but then killed the app with the long press of the back button. Any thoughts on whats going on?

Do you mean that there's a lag between when you hit the power button and when the screen turns on? If so, it could just be the screen-on/off animation. When I enable the screen-on animation, no lag.

Well while we're all on the subject of navigation I have a question. In the " maps " app or any other app with a map (Google maps) how do u get the 3d effect? U know where the buildings pop out. Anyway back on topic... I've been running 1.2 since released and I've had zero of these problems. Been awesome. I'd love to chime in at times but everyone send to b on the ball. By the way if anyone is looking for a good theme then I would recommend mixer here on xda. IMO the best ever. My favorite thing is the animated notifications.

nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!

1.2 stable absolutely hates 2.2.1 Savaged Zen kernel. It gives great battery life, but big time glitches. Wakelocks, random reboots, freezing if the phone is turned on while plugged in.

Has anyone else had similar troubles? Has anyone found a nice stable kernel with good battery life for this ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrReptar:
The stock kernel is actually pretty awesome, give it a try .

[EVO 4G Android Development] luigic81:
Try using vipermod to OV by 50mv across the board, this will stabalize the kernel, or just use stock kernel, i like to OC higher than 1113 and I like sbc, otherwise I would be on the stock kernel myself
[EVO 4G Android Development] raphenucleus:
I'm running SZ 2.2.1 as well and everything is working great for me, except the battery life has not been as good as it was on the past builds of Deck's ROM. So kind of the opposite experience you've been having. But I've been playing around with different PRI, NV, and GPS driver combinations and battery life seems to be pretty good again, but I need to run it longer to be sure. For the problems you've been having it sounds like you need to raise the voltage of the kernel. Try flashing ViperMOD and try increasing the voltage by 25mV. Give it some time and reboot at least once after adjusting your voltages, but if that doesn't work, try increasing the voltages again. If increasing your voltages doesn't help with your problems, then I'd say try Tiamat, GoDm0dE, or the cyanogenmod kernel. But I've seen people report similar problems on SZ and increasing the voltages fixed it for them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GreenTea420:
Thanks guys. I'll flash ViperMod tomorrow, change the voltage, and report back. For now, time to hit the sack and catch some shut eye.

GPS broke again, haven't changed a thing. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmblalock:
I have a similar problem, battery life on mine is great as long as I don't use GPS or Maps, GPS and Maps KILLS my battery life.. like 1-2% of battery per minute in use. I know GPS has always used a good amount of battery, but at this rate, with a 100% battery charge I wouldn't even get an hour out of my battery! I know it was never that bad. I have tried 3 or 4 GPS drivers and all yield the same battery drain 1-2% per minute.

I really love this rom, the speed and functionality is great, I just wish we could get all these battery issues fixed between the GPS drain, Wake-Lock Drain (seems to be fixed after I did the fix posted in another thread), etc. I was getting much better battery in Fresh's 3.5.0.1 sense rom. I switched because I wanted speed of AOSP, and I figured it would bring even better battery life being that there isn't as much bloatware.. seems I was wrong about the battery though..

I haven't used Maps yet, but my weather app uses GPS to give me current conditions wherever I am and it updates all the time. I see the GPS symbol run in status bar and seems to take less than 5 seconds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
Here is my graph from Juice Plotter last night. No wakelocks from Spare Parts, and when I look at settings->battery usage, it doesn't show that my phone was awake during this time at all except for the random syncs from time to time. I'm not saying it's related to this ROM because this seems to be a recurring problem for me on AOSP roms as of late. I am at a loss. Maybe it's the Vision GPS driver? But others are using it with no issues, so that can't be it right?

I've seen this happen on CM7 Nightly builds, CM7.0.3.1, and now Deck. GoDm0de, Tiamat, SavagedZen, makes no difference. I guess I'll just try a different GPS driver and see if that helps at all. I love AOSP but I might have to give it up.

Google Goggles

But Goggles doesn't do the "It was the one that prevented calls/sms/mms at certain times"

You probably mean Silent Sleep or something like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
I saw an earlier post about the weird lag when pressing the power button to wake the phone up, and together with part of your post, I do indeed. If the phone starts up (post flash, etc) while it is plugged in, once fully booted up, I click on the power button to get to the lock screen. Sometimes it does nothing for a bit and then wakes up. Other times, I get the lock screen, but its kinda warped...it doesn't look right.

Either way, I can unplug the phone and either immediately open the lock screen (exhibits normal behavior), or if its at that warped lock screen, I press once to sleep, and then again to open normally. It is very strange.

I did have one random reboot coming up after a ROM flash, but that was it. Otherwise I haven't really experienced any other issues. I'm not really aware of any other AOSP, SBC 2.3x kernels to try, although I'm sure that they are out there. The kernel that came with this ROM ran quite nicely, but I have seen a nice increase in battery life and a small performance increase with the SZ, so until I hear some folks raving about another awesome kernel, I think I'll stick with this one.

Thank you for your time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
Thanks, that's not it. Google Goggles is an application to recognize stuff by taking pictures with it. I found that Cyanogenmod made it part of his framework. I don't think an APK exists for this.

Home Screens saved

Hi all,

First off, thanks Deck for an awesome rom. I like it!

I'm still on 1.2b though (haven't had any big problems, got GPS working, and only have the wakelock on call issue, so haven't been flashing every 12 hours as some have :-))

I'm now looking to put on 1.2 stable, gapps 6.11 w vm, but wondered if I will lose my home screen(s) layout when I go back to load everything via Titanium Backup.

I get used to having everything in a spot, and would love to do a full wipe, install 1.2stable, gapps, a gtalk, then run TB and bring back all apps plus home screen links.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

I was on 1.2x and am now on final. Was getting a lot of awake activity while screen was off on both versions. Also would lose substantial battery overnight... 30%-40%+.

Flashed Tiamat 4.0.5 SBC, charged to 100%, took off the charger and went to bed. When I woke up 8 hours later it was still at 100%. Sitting at 68% now after ~15.5 hours, several phone calls and a bit of texting. Though I'm still seeing some awake activity when screen is off, there was a long period without any earlier in the day. Beginning to think it's cause by google chat messenging.

[EVO 4G Android Development] raphenucleus:
UPDATE: I didn't notice this earlier, because I had only used the phone in areas with good reception, but when I was on the combo above and went into an area with poor reception, the data connection would act a little wonky. The 1x or 3G icon would refuse to show up in the status bar and I would often get a message that I was on international data roam; this is in an area at work where it usually connects to 1x and has a slow connection, but otherwise works fine. I also noticed that the radio acting wonky caused increased battery drain, so instead of using the combo above, I'd say use a newer PRI and or NV. I upgraded my NV to 1.90_003, keeping everything else the same and that seems to have resolved the wonky data issue.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was the HTC Vision GPS driver causing it for me too. I hope the CM7 driver fixes it for you too.

I really like SavagedZen. It has HAVS and SBC, which I like to have in a kernel, and it's given me the best combination of battery life and performance out of any of the kernels I've tested (SZ, Tiamat, and CyanogenMOD). Obviously, if you've read any of my statements above, I wasn't getting the best battery life, even with my beloved SavagedZen kernel, when I first flashed to 1.2 stable, but I think I have that issue resolved and my SZ kernel is performing as well as ever.

It's been reported that backing up your current configuration, flashing the rooted stock 4.24.651.1 ROM, using the GPS on that ROM, then restoring back to your current configuration fixes the problem. See this post for more information and more specific instructions.
