Rom/ Kernel

It seems that the issue could be solved by switching to one of the cooked rom. Which one you guys suggest is good on battery and less buggy??
[EVO 4G General] mizzos4:
It all depends, if you want the stock Sense that you're used to, go with Myn's Warm 2.2 (still froyo 2.2) or MikG (gingerbread 2.3). If you want to test out AOSP roms, CM7 and Deck's are nice stable AOSP gingerbread roms. I'm currently running CM7 final with SavagedZen 2.2 kernel and usually get through a full day while playing few games (mostly wordfeud and wwf), checking emails every so often (with hourly notifications) and some browsing of pulse and newsweek. In addition to the normal volume of calls and texts. :)
[EVO 4G General] -viperboy-:
I would flash the latest CM nightly (http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/cm_supersonic_full-101.zip), latest Tiamat kernel with SBC (http://tiamat-aosp.com/ccount/click.php?id=104), and my latest mod (http://bit.ly/kI3zi4). Use Titanium Backup to backup everything you have now because you will need to wipe everything and then restore from Titanium Backup.

You need to flash all of them in recovery, I'm assuming you know how to do that? Flash the CM nightly and reboot. Once you are in, go back into recovery and flash the other two files. Also while you're in there, go to Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats, then reboot. Restore all of your stuff and set up the new ROM. Let the battery fully die and then give it a long charge. Do this again after the phone dies (don't plug it in while it's decharging at all so that you can calibrate the battery properly)

Also, set up my mod by using Terminal and typing "su" (no quotes), hit allow when you get the superuser prompt, then type "vipermod" (no quotes) and you will see my mod. Lower your voltages by 50 and see how your phone is. Don't save voltages until you have used it a little bit and made sure your phone didn't reboot or freeze (if you save and that happens, you need to download the reset .zip off my website to allow the phone to boot)

This should atleast help you out and point you in the right direction.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
As someone else mentioned, just buy another battery. I bought 3 batteries packaged with an external charger on ebay for $11 + free shipping. They aren't the red OEM batteries that you have, but they work fine (other than not communicating battery temp, lawl). I don't even use my stock battery, I keep it in the package the other batteries came in in case I need it when I sell the phone.

I keep them charged in the external charger (they take hours to show fully charged, but if you pull it out early it's usually shown at 95-99%), keep one in the phone, one in a case in my pocket, and usually the third at home charging.

Yeah, I tear through battery pretty quickly, but I don't hold back at all for the sake of battery life. I use WiFi at home, keep mobile data on when I'm out (4G if I'm on a rom that has working 4G), sync every hour, text, make calls, browse xda, use my phone for EVERYTHING. I might run through two batteries in a day, but at least I get to use my phone to it's full potential.

If you're not up for that, you can try a new rom/kernel. As others mentioned, download Spare Parts and check for partial wake usage.

Well.....

1) can't hold the iPhone "wrong" or you can't make calls

2) iPhone doesn't have flash player so you don't get the awesome experience of flash video or games.

3) Depending on the Rom..... Nav works great. Lol.
[EVO 4G General] Greenfieldan:
I have a bunch of battery tips in my sig.

Coming from someone who's had an iPhone, my battery life on my Evo (now that I know some tips/tricks/what I'm doing lol) is actually better than my old iPhone. It's totally your choice, but if you're going to do it primarily because of dreams of better battery life I think you'll be disappointed. Plus, something seems off about the battery life you're getting. It's unusually poor :confused:
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Personally, I can get 1day 10hrs out of my phone easily, stock battery.

CM7 + Tiamat kernel + Viperboy's scripts.

And personally switching cuz because of battery life to a phone where you lose a lot of features seems like a step down, but tis your happiness at stake.

Actually it was bad battery

Hey Guys,

This was a case of bad battery as well. After I messed with my roms and clean my battery stats by going in recovery battery performance was extremely weired. All of sudden my phone use to shut off, I was confused. I thought that these roms are not stable and are buggy. But then I took out battery I realized that the battery I was using was a cheap spare one which had gone bad. It started swelling a bit. I am sure the issue was with battery. If you look at the screenshot for the battery there are sudden drop. The sort of steady slope is my original HTC battery.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
that's like saying you're gonna cut off your genitals because you always have to pee....

lol.

Like others have mentioned try different rom/kernel combinations, if that doesn't work then your phone/battery is defective.

You can buy spare batteries for like $6 or $7 on ebay most of which are better than the stock battery. There really is no need for an extended battery but if you do want to get one make sure you don't spend more than $20 on it.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
That's simply not true. We get it, you like android, but don't spread ignorant, uninformed lies. I've had two iPhones and two android phones, and have spent time in multiple communities (android community, android central, xda, Mac rumors, iLounge,etc)

Ever Apple forum that I've been a part of has been just as helpful & friendly as the android ones.

[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I don't see any mention of a Super LCD screen in the specs on the HTC site, but on the evo 3d specs it says super LCD.

I really hope it's super lcd....regular tft just doesn't cut it even with the qhd resolution.
[HTC Sensation] EyeAndroid:
Ya I'm not really sure what type of display it is. I compared it to my HD2 and they look very similar, definitely not AMOLED. It seems like the colors are a bit brighter than the HD2 so it very well could be a Super LCD. But I do know the G2 is a Super LCD, but it doesn't look like the Sensations Display.

I don't know what to believe anymore. Attention SAMSUNG: STOP HOARDING YOUR GORGEOUS DISPLAYS AND SHARE WITH HTC - THANK YOU.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
It's a super LCD screen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrbXVHpnDMo

From 4:30
[HTC Sensation] EyeAndroid:
I know what its "Supposed" to be, but compare it to some other Super LCD screens side by side and it doesn't look all that Super.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Hmmm...you're getting me worried lol.

If this screen doesn't look nice (one of the biggest things to me), I may have to send it back.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Well it's most definitely a super lcd screen (35 seconds in), so it should look good. Maybe the qHD resolution (where it makes everything look smaller) is throwing people off with the screen quality.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJQEYiD5HU4
[HTC Sensation] EyeAndroid:
Still a S-LCD.

If you want a screen that's just gonna pop like no other then you need a Galaxy S2. But sometimes screen colors is not everything.

Like - do you like it when your GPS works? ALL Galaxy S series phones = FAIL!

Do you want a phone made in fisher price plastic? ALL Galaxy S series phones = WIN!

Do you want your phone updated to the newest version of Android quickly? ALL Galaxy S series phones = FAIL!

Its not all about screen color quality. To me, I consider more important things like build quality and actaully fast 4G. And the Sensation with Tmobile wins in both categories.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
GPS actually works great on the Galaxy S 2.

Yes the build quality does feel cheap but my Vibrant lasted many drops.

Samsung has been showing progress with updates but it's funny you bring this up after HTC just ****ed all of it's Desire customers.

Every body has there issues but please make sure you make accurate statements next time.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Try again...

http://thisismynext.com/2011/06/15/htc-desire-will-get-gingerbread-after-all/
[HTC Sensation] EyeAndroid:
Dude, the vibrant and the galaxy 4g have the same GPS issues + I've already seen reports of people with the galaxy s2 with the same issues again!

Galaxy s series, behold 2 anything Samsung never or took forever for updates. And please don't get me started on the well known lag issues on the 1st 2 galaxy s phones, world famous for lag.

But if you want your colors to pop, Samsung has it down.
[HTC Sensation] m918v:
Wow, people are seriously picking out all the details. Next thing you know someone is going to complain about the curvature of the screen, or how it's not really all aluminum. This phone simply can't give you all the great things that G2X or Samsung has to offer, but it does give you a perfectly working device that is probably better than your previous phone. It is a $500 device, but nothing is perfect. If you want something better than sensation then get the samsung, easy as that. I must warn you though something will come with better specs when the samsung device comes out......Maybe A "Super-duper Extravaganza Amoled Infinity X Infinity Super LED 3D Optic Retina Killer Flamingo-1Carat Diamond Glass Screen" screen. Now that would be something. :D
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
It looks great in person. I saw it yesterday side by side with my vibrant, my droid x, and a g2x that was on display and it looked better than my droidx, almost as good as the g2x, but couldn' keep up with the SAMOLED. It's a nice looking screen and quite frankly one of the nicest phones i've ever had my hands on. I'm definitely buying it.
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
I think the point was to not be so condescending.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
HTC came out the very next day promising GB for it's Desire customers. Samsung however really drags their feet when it comes to updates. I love my Vibrant but that's only because of the devs here at XDA.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I'm sure there are people with GPS problems with the GS2 but everyone I know and ever review I read states the GPS works great.

The Behold was a serious **** up but my Vibrant got Froyo long before my wifes HTC Mytouch 3G Slide and her slide released 2 months before my Vibrant. It depends on where you live and what carrier your on. Then again, I really don't care about updates. If I did, I wouldn't be HERE!
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Looks light years better than my N1's amoled.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austriker27:
Hi there,

So I am currently using an unlocked G1 on AT&T without having to pay any data plan (because they dont recognize it as a smart phone). However I can upgrade to an unlimited plan for $10 but because of the phone's band it would only get 2G.

So my G1 is dying and is super slow and one phone I would love would be a G2. Thus do you think I would be able to get an unlocked G2 for AT&T and still avoid having to get a data plan ?? Also as an added bonus, when AT&T fuses with Tmobile (assuming FCC approval) perhaps then the G2 would get 4g/3g speeds??

what do you guys think of this master plan to avoid data charges but then get high speed downloads when at&t buys tmobile ??

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
Look in the dev section there is a way to unlock, and the G2 has HSPA+ which pretty much is 4G

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
It's believed that all tmobile phones will still be limited to edge after the merger. Remember the frequencies it uses are based on hardware, they can never be changed. Unless they have a period where at&t will use both sets of frequencies, a g2 will never get 3g or 4g speeds on at&t.

That's why people were excited when the g2x was supposed to use both sets of bands, but it was not to be...

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hololight:
Att does use tmo compatible 3g bands in certain areas. I occasionally get 3g with my vibrant (unlocked tmo phone that I use sometimes with att) but I do have to admit that it is rare that I get 3g service in my area.

I also would be surprised if they just up and d4op all that tmo infrastructure overnight.

I would bet that all the tmo sprect4um came (will come) with the purchase.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austriker27:
Sweet so once I unlock a g2 I can get at least 3g speeds on at&T network?

Right now I get 2g speeds on my g1 and its pretty painful.

Although it sounds like tmo phones might be limited to edge which just be like the ultimate jerk move on att's part..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
I'm not sure about that one after the other comments, also I remember after my G1 I got an iphone 3G(bad mistake) and I unlocked it so I could use it for tmobile and I couldn't get 3G, only edge, so my best advice would be either switch to tmobile if you really want the G2 or just get an android for at&t

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapshot30:
Sooo why hasn't anyone mentioned the A7275 Desire Z version that will get AT&T users 3G? Just look it up. The Desire Z is the same as the G2 except for a few bands. The DZ A7275 model works perfectly with AT&T network, no reason to suffer and get the G2 without 3G. It is also known as the Bell Desire Z.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
Oh, well that solves everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Except for the fact that the OP will not have 3G on T-Mob with the Canada Bell Desire Z (A7275), if he in fact wants 3G now.

Plus the huge difference in price between the G2 and the Bell DZ, especially if the OP is qualified for an upgrade (which he probably is, if still on a G1). The Bell Canada DZ typically goes for around $600 new.

If you want an Android phone with keyboard on ATT, the Bell DZ is the way to go. But since the AT&T-Mobile merger won't even start to become a reality for almost a year (and maybe longer), I'd think hard about getting a good phone for NOW. And then plan to get a new device later, when the merger actually takes place.

EDIT: I misunderstood the part where the OP was saying he was using an unlocked G1 on ATT. I thought he was still on T-Mobile, and waiting for the merger. Never mind my comments above along those lines.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austriker27:
Gosh, well thanks for the info guys. That is most helpful- so right now I am thinking of staying with my at&t plan and maybe getting the bell canada g2 unlocked so I can still beat the system and not have to pay for data but if I do need it I can get the 10$ unlimited plan and get 3g speeds with at &T with a sick android phone..

I am also contemplating getting a bb bold 9700 as an upgrade (I get it free as a discount for work) for my phone.. BUT thats a whole 'nother discussion =)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeuout:
Thats unbelievable! 10 bucks for unlimited data? 2g or not....thats a good deal...personally id rather pay 10 a month and sleep well knowing its there. But at the same time you cant beat free....win freakin win baby!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Sounds like the Blackberry is from AT&T? If you put your SIM in any AT&T branded smartphone, they will read the IMEI off the phone, know its a smartphone, and add a smartphone data plan to your account (as per their policy). But if you buy a phone what is not AT&T branded (like the Bell Canada Desire Z), the IMEI will not be in their database.

Not sure about connecting to 3G with the Bell Canada Z on the $10 data plan. They might see that you are connecting on 3G , and take away that plan.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
I am using a Bell Desire Z on ATT and they are not able to identify my IMEI. I have had the $10 Unlimited Data plan on my account for years and despite using much more data than a typical 'dumbphone', I have not been charged or contacted regarding my data package. I get solid 3G coverage in my area and average about 500-900MB a month of data. (I don't tether and use Wifi at home)

On another note, I have used an ATT Branded Blackberry Bold 9000 with the same data plan. I did not buy it from ATT but they were able to identify the IMEI per the ATT branding. They didn't 'force' the smartphone plan on me and my data worked just fine. Please note though, that the BB push services will NOT work without a BB plan.

I've had the $10 unlimited data for about 3 years now and have used a handful of phones: HTC Fuze, Nokia E71, Blackberry Pearl, Bold and now the Desire Z. No issues from ATT, plus I love not being on a contract!

*Edit*: If you 'upgrade' your device through ATT and go with the Bold 9700, you MUST purchase a BB data plan and once you leave that $10 unlimited data, there is no going back so be weary before you sign anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swee08315:
I'm coming from a g1 on att.

I'm still on att but now have a g2 with their $10 data plan.

although it's still only 2g you feel notice that even internet is much faster on the g2 then it ever was on the g1. I'm only catching 2g, so that can't be why, but you will notice that it's much faster.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austriker27:
I have actually read quite a bit from here and the AT&T forums concerning whether att will read the IMEI number or not; basically it seems like for some people they do read it and force a smartphone data plan and others they dont. So its kinda like playing the lottery. But yes I absolutely adore my unlimited data for $10 (although I only recently added it for GPS because I moved; otherwise I normally just wifi with no data because wifi is everywhere). That being said I looove my g1 for allowing me to beat the system like that!!!

And actually after doing some more research I would want to the latest bb bold (like a 9780; I think i just mistyped earlier) and now after hearing about the 9900 (which actually sounds like a pretty decent BB, albeit RIM still about 2 years behind the trends) I am very interested in holding out for it as it should come out in Sept if they dont delay anymore..

I also like not being tied down as our family plan's commitment expired at least one year ago, so upgrading is pretty much out of the question unless I open up my own plan.. And just to make it all even more complicated, I get a 20% discount through work and also can get a BB for free if I sign a 2 year agreement.. Aww the options..

Either way I am sick of having to reflash my g1 monthly so and its soooo bloody slow. So I am debating G2, BB Bold 9780 or wait for the Bold 9900.. But thats another bucket of worms I need to figure out..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Att and tmobile have a while to go before or if they ever actually merge. Its up to the government to approve it after all. And remember att had to be split years back for having a monopoly over home phones which makes it even harder for the gov to get on board...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shady503403:
i work for att.

yes they can catch your and put a data plan ($25) by default on your account..

yes they also don't catch EVERYONE and add one.

yes people do get away with it for years.

yes att can read your IMEI and tell if its a PDA or not. just shows as "unknown manufac" so att cannot tell what make\model, but most the time can see its a smart phone..

but alot of people get away with 10$ non smart phone unlimited data plan that have smartphones..

my vote... take all the damn money you can from att. =D haha

if you can get away with it then do it.

p.s. heres a tip for anyone on At&t that wants the unlimited data they don't offer anymore. get an iphone, HAS to be an original. well just the imei number, call att and tell them to update the imei and move to the unlimited data plan. they only have unlimited data for the original iphone.. then use it on the account for a few days, then move to another smart phone of choice.. and you will be "grandfathered in" with the unlimited data for smartphone. =]
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austriker27:
no way!! Thanks for the info, thats awesome.. How much was the original iphone's unlimited data plan? And will that work if I do decide to get a BB? I heard you might need a special bb plan to use their push features..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shady503403:
Yeah it'll work with a bb.. once your on the unlimited data plan you always have it no matter what phone you use..

The original data plan for iphone is $20 I think.. but you'll have to move to the data plan avainable which is 30
