My battery survived the night, which gives me confidence that it will last at least 24 hours with my "normal" usage. I don't play games or watch videos on it that much, and when I do, it's only maybe 20 mins max for games. For video, I will stream some Netflix, but when I do that, I have my phone plugged in.

I am still happy with these results.

Right now, my battery is at 18% and has been off the charger for 1d 0h 40m.

Im on Decks 1.2 and i've triend all versions of this supposed fix from the OP. Gets rid of adroid system from battery usuage right away, then after a few calls, jumps back up to around 55% (im currently at 55% adroid system usuage after 1h45min).

Anyone else get this to work correctly with Decks 1.2?

Yeah, I did all that. Have you tried flashing back to what you had before?

Try that for now to at least get your phone to boot. What ROM are you using?
[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. 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.

Is that correct?

I've read a few success stories with this fix.

I do have a high android system shown, but my phone does not have problems sleeping. Just trying to figure out if I should bother with this. My battery life seems respectable. (high android sys may be from being plugged in overnight)

Radio: 2.15.00.05.02

The issue was I flashed the combo in the OP, rebooted back to recovery, wiped cache, and dalvik cache, then flashed GPS Vision.zip, then fixed UID mismatches and rebooted. After this the phone got stuck on the bootscreen for over 5 mins until I did a battery pull and rebooted to recovery.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
How do I do that? It seems like I am normally awake. I just started doing the dumpsys power command to check for wakelock and I always have "1" on the pokelock line if I use the phone in any way. It won't go away unless I force close the dialer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
the dialer should release the lock after a couple of minutes but often does not. Just type in su, then enter, followed by killall com.android.phone, then enter and it will be removed. Run the dumpsys again to see.

[EVO 4G Android Development] wryun:
My battery is almost dead with 1% remaining.

I got 1d 4h 30m out of it with *normal usage.

*Normal usage for me prior to this "fix" would usually last me from about 7:30am - 10:30pm (15hrs)
[EVO 4G Android Development] wryun:
Your Android System is using 41% of your battery, and your phone is awake more than screen is on.

IMO, I would say you can benefit from this thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
Ok thanks I will try this.

Even if spare parts didn't catch it, wouldn't settings-->battery info show awake time if my dialer was still awake? Or would it be totally undetectable by my system?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
No wake lock issue with you right now based on the graph. The awake and screen should be very similar but will never be exactly the same. That is the look that you want to see. If your awake line was solid but your screen wasn't then you would have an issue.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
looks like you were on the phone a lot with the screen off but your awake seems to be reacting consistently so I would say no. easy way to check once again from te type su,.then enter, dumpsys power, then enter. If your mlocks and mpokelocks have a value of zero, then you do not have a wakelock issue at that time. If one of them has a value of one then you do. If you do then from te type in killall com.android.phone, then enter and it will go away.

Try these, they are ripped directly from the recent 4.22 ota without modification. They have worked wonders for users of the vaelpak aosp gb rom. Just flash them straight from recovery. Wipe your cache/dalvik first. We whipped this problem two weeks ago.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Biggie Da Dansa:
i was hoping that after this update it would improve my battery . but at times it feels as its the same as before.. the android system jumps up and down at times.. i was in a bad area of service and my wifi was messing up so that could of been the reason. but even wen i have good service it seems as my battery's the same before i did the update.. and my stupid gps still ****s up at times. lol

this was about 2 or 3 months ago.. way before the update
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
Thanks man. I think that's for the gps vision drivers to help your phone accept them and for them to do their thing. You can't avoid wakelocks and sometimes they are needed, but when they dont release on their own when they are supposed to is frustrating, but at least you can detect them through the te and worst case scenario do a killall com.android.phone from the te and that will get rid of it when it does happen.

I always look at Spare Parts for battery info and am still seeing "Android System" listed there but I don't see it in the standard battery usage tool.. I do see it always at the top of the Sensor Usage in Spare Parts though and somewhere in there under the Partial Wake section too.

Does this mean the fix took or no?

Decided to do a little test to see if all this downgrading is necessary to get the Android OS off the list. My conclusion...it may not be. Yesterday I checked to see if the Android OS was on the list, it was. Then I let my battery drain all the way down. I then charged it to the green light plus about 20 minutes extra. I turned on my phone and low and behold, the Android OS disappeared from my battery usage list.

Maybe it's my Rom - PRI combo, Myn's Synergy 6/24/11 and 2.15 PRI. But that was my result.

Anytime I make a call the mPokelock "dialer" always stays on and doesn't release. My dialer is usually 6 to 10 percent which seems high.
