OK, so I'm a noob (to evo) and can't post on the dev thread for the Alliance 7.7 ROM so I'm going to throw this out here and hope for a response.

I tried RLS1 and didn't like it, there was some functions that irritated me so I went back to 7.7.

I like 7.7, I've got it stable, no sense reloads and I love the functionality.

However, my battery life is atrocious!!! I thought this was supposed to help save batt life??? I burned about 50% batt life in less than 3 hours in sleep mode!??

What did I do wrong??

I've been experimenting with Task Killer, Juice Defender and other supposedly power "saving" apps and settings but I haven't found the "holy grail" yet.

I'd really like someone to point me in the right direction if at all possible..Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] tony0691:
Did you try calibrating your battery when you first flashed the rom?

Try downloading the battery calibration app by nema from the market.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration

What PRI do u have? If you go into settings and about phone (I'm not exactly sure if that's the correct path) it should tell you. If your running something newer than 1.77 some phones have a wake issue where it wont let the phone sleep with newer PRI's. Try downgrading to 1.77, the wake issue should then be gone.

You can get PRI 1.77 from here just make sure you backup your WiMax keys before you flash, you know just in case something goes wrong. : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

Maybe its one of the apps that your using that's not letting your phone sleep hence your battery drain. Spare parts on the market should show you if any apps are keeping your phone awake.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidapps.spare_parts

Or your battery is going bad? I was having such horrible battery life with my Evo that after a while it just couldn't hold a charge anymore. I purchased a new one and all is well now.

Try an AOSP rom? AOSP roms tend to have better battery life than Sense roms. They don't have many services running in the background eating up memory.

I can't think of anything else anymore but hope this helps! :)
[EVO 4G General] dgomez720:
Our of stupidity but, how exactly can you back up your WiMax Keys? Where can you go? Lol sorry, feel free to troll on me for asking that
[EVO 4G General] tony0691:
Lol Oh no none of that. I don't troll on anyone for not knowing something, we've all been there. Are you using amon ra recovery 2.3? If so, boot into recovery, go to backup/restore, nandroid backup and then it'll give u a list of things you might want to select to backup. Just unselect everything, select wimax and then select perform backup. It should take a couple of mins and then your done.
[EVO 4G General] dgomez720:
Actually I'm using ClockWork Mod 2.6 just seemed easier to me than AmonRa. (weird I know). but ok, nand back up and just select the WiMax info??
[EVO 4G General] billbowers:
Also, v7.7 had an undervolt script built into it that some phones, mine included don't like. Might try flashing alliance rls2. Had the script removed.
[EVO 4G General] shaw_2112:
thanks for the info, I think the battery calibration helped a little, only 30% depleted after about 8 hours with moderate use.

I found I do have a newer PRI, version 1.90_003

Before I go messing with it, what is the PRI and what does it do?
[EVO 4G General] shaw_2112:
one of the reasons I didn't like RLS1 was the way they had the personalize button set to open the Kingsrom website. Did they change that, or is there a way to change it?
[EVO 4G General] shaw_2112:
oi, I had things going pretty well with 7.7 but it started getting glitchy and slow. Don't know why because once I had everything running smooth I didn't mess with it anymore. Reboot helped for a little while but started glitching again shortly after.

I decided to go to RLS2, it's running smooth but my lockscreen shortcuts have dissapeared and I can't get them back, any ideas on that??
[EVO 4G General] dgomez720:
You might try going into your personalize settings and select a different lock screen, I know there are a couple that take that certain option away LOL I use the weather one with the app selector or the wallpaper with the app selector. Hope it helps
[EVO 4G General] shaw_2112:
no good, lock screen isn't displaying the way it should, tried several and nothing changes.
[EVO 4G General] shaw_2112:
Did a factory reset and the lock screen is working correctly again. There must have been something that glitched when I restored my settings.

Tried restoring my backups and it the lock screen isn't right again. So I guess I either live with it or start from scratch again..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaypr9:
Anyone have problems with the front camera showing yourself upside down when using qik? I tried using qik with my wife and she comes up fine on my end but I'm upside down on her end.

Is this a known problem? Im using CM7 not sure if thats the problem does anyone know if stock works ok?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Avelnan:
The same happens to me too. I'm using stock since on on 2.3.3.
[Motorola Droid X2] primetime34:
I am having some issues with widgetlocker. It seems that about 1 out of every 10 times I hit the power button to turn the screen on the stock lockscreen shows up instead of the widgetlocker screen. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] kegman913:
happens to me too a little less frequently though, maybe 1 in 15 or 20. no clue btw
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Are you using the supercharger script? I am, and found that the two don't play nicely together. I'm guessing widget locker doesn't have high enough priority, but what do I know. I switched my settings down to megamemory one and it helped, but not enough to keep it.

Supercharge script > widget locker. IMO. I had to pick one...
[Motorola Droid X2] kegman913:
I also noticed that widget locker enables while im on the phone forcing me to unlock it to hang up the phone. I contacted the dev and he said my settings are correct so its the phones fault. yay chalk another one up for this pos phone.

There are plenty of file/folder encryption apps for Windows, and quite a few for Android too.

But which apps works on Android and Windows? So that I can encrypt a file on my phone, send it to my computer, and decrypt it in Windows. And the other way 'round, of course.

Anyone have this problem. It always force closes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Dylan Wilson:
So, I have my brother's old MyTouch3G 32A, and I was trying to fix it up a bit and root it so I could use SetCPU and stuff

Well. First thing I do as an HD2 Android user is check out CyanogenMod, clarify that it's a 32A, follow instructions, and run into the Model ID issue, so I head here and check out tutorials and learn about GoldCards and such

However, after fastbooting an image from CyanogenMod(the wrong one, I used 32B on accident x.x), I come to find that the touch screen is no longer working, so I do more research and find that since the phone has a headphone jack it's apparently the 32A 1.2 that's pretty much identical to the Fender one

and now whenever I do a GoldCard using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=548218 and the unlockr tutorial, I'm still getting the Model ID error

So. Thoughts from anyone?

my only thought where I could be dun goofing with the gold card, the tutorial is quite confusing, I'm actually using my HD2 to get the CID too because I can't really get in to turn on USB debugging(and I left my data cable at home so I'm using Terminal Emulator from my HD2), if that matters, and the other thing that confuses me is the order of string reversing and adding 0's

(eg. if I get 123456 from my phone, do I do 003456 and THEN reverse it, or reverse it and then it becomes 004321?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Dylan Wilson:
sorry for the double post

using this tutorial http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Fender/1.2

remade the GoldCard (and removed my human error with the CID by using the site linked in the tutorial), etc. still "Model ID Incorrect!"
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Use this tool and save yourself time :0)

http://www.vorbeth.co.uk/

(goldcardtol)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Dylan Wilson:
I tried, atm I don't have the data cable for my HD2, and the bad update made the MyTouch screen unresponsive so I can't turn on USB debugging or get past the initial setup screen

so. as far as I can figure. the Model ID error is related solely to the Goldcard, so I will post my method for making a goldcard and would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me where I'm going wrong

1. Format MicroSD to Fat32, default allocation size, uncheck quick format

2. put in HD2 and go into terminal emulator and type: (as superuser, don't know if it's neccesary, but can't hurt right?)

cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc*/mmc*:*/cid > /sdcard/mmc_cid.txt

3. put MicroSD back in PC, copy mmc_cid.txt to Desktop, reformat Microsd(same options as before)

4. go here: http://hexrev.soaa.me/ paste mmc_cid's contents to it, and copy the code that website returns to the online goldcard maker, download from email

5. open HxD(as Admin), open goldcard.img as disk image(512 sector size), open the physical disk of the microsd as disk and uncheck read-only

6. in goldcard.img, Edit->Select Block, type in length 170, copy

7. in Removable drive(MicroSD), Edit->Select Block, type in length 170, paste

8. save, add sappimg.zip to my new goldcard, put in phone, VolDown+Power, receive error after a minute or 2

--edit--

also, here's this stuff, I keep seeing it around when checking other threads, maybe it will help mine

My charge lights have been flashing back and forth from green to orange when I am in the car. What does that mean? Cheap car charger?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tristandespain:
Sounds like it. I would try a different one and see if it makes a difference. I bought the cheapest one I could find and I've never had that problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achvala:
sounds to me like a bad connection somewhere :eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Critical Detox:
From my past experiences the orange and green flashing light means the device has reached a critical temperature and charging ability has been suspended momentarily until the device reaches a suitable temperature.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
Agreed. However, I think we should email HTC on this matter... I would like to know every possible factor of why the light turns green. why it turns red. Also, I would like a change as well.. I would like it if the light didn't stay green while the phone is plugged in and I just get a message. I would like it to blink in some way like 3 fast flashes. or something like that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil_bono:
Could be temp. I live in AZ. It was 102 today. I think I was charging and surfing a bit. I have never seen my OEM charger do that tho. I will swap back and see
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil_bono:
Second that.... Changing the light during charge when new SMS message
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
oh after you just said that... IT IS the temp. lol. IN OTHER WORDS. keep the phone cool. can't leave it on a dash or in a car. it will overheat. It has NOTHING to do with the charger.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil_bono:
Keeping anything cool in Arizona, in July, is not easy! I can't walk outside with the phone for five minutes without it getting up to 100+ degrees. If its in the sun for even a minute... Forget it.

It has been over 100 for something like forty days in a row.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rememo:
I thought I'd start a new thread so the photos wouldn't get lost in one of the other case threads. I received the Aegis today. My wife and I both have the Charge and I bought Commuters for both, so I was able to install the Aegis on my phone and take comparison photos for those of you wondering about the differences.

I have to thank moondrius again, since I believe he was the first to post information about the Aegis, which lead me to purchase it instead of waiting for the Kraken 2.

Aegis:

Dislikes: More difficult to put on the phone than the Commuter. If you plan on swapping batteries often I wouldn't recommend this case. Lack of protection for the hard buttons. Silicon port covers are a bit harder to open than on the Commuter.

Likes: The grip coating on the hard case. The hard case support on the top of the phone. Extra protection on corners of phone. Cover over speaker.

Notes: While the grip coating makes it slightly more difficult to slide in and out of a pocket, the flares at the top of the phone make it easy to grab when you need to remove it from a pocket. A nice little design feature. The Aegis DOES have a cover for the HDMI port. I'm not sure what the holes are for on the back of the Aegis. Heat dissipation perhaps?

Commuter:

Dislikes: Silicon easily separates from the top of the phone when phone is grabbed from the top. Hard case is slippery, so it slides off of sloped surfaces and can slip from your hand.

Likes: Hard button coverage, although dust and dirt could still migrate under the protected area. Silicon port covers are easier to open than on the Aegis. It's a bit easier to slide in and out of a pocket. Case is relatively easy to install on the phone.

Notes: The Commuter is a more svelte case than the Aegis. The Commuter DOES NOT have a cover over the HDMI port.

On to the photos (the green case is the Trident Aegis). Sorry that they're a bit out of focus, my eyes were tired right after work. I also apologize for the hair and dust, but with six furry beasts running around, keeping the phones hair free is impossible.

Commuter silicon can separate from top of phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Smitty9803:
Great side by side comparison! I'll be getting one of these within the next week after I make a decision. Thanks for taking the time to make the write-up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
Nice post. This pretty much sums it up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kgbeezr1:
Could you comment on the ease of button presses? I have the Commuter and while I like the case a lot it makes the power and volume buttons very hard to press, I have to use the edge of my thumb and give it a good jab.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
Its very easy to hit buttons with the Aegis.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeuswsu:
Thanks for this. This confirms that I won't be buying the otterbox for sure, since I hate hard plastic. I like my current Incipio, case but the trident case looks like a good alternative.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
I have a quick question about the Commuter case. It looks like there is no way for the baclights for the buttons to shine through the case, is that correct? I really like the looks of the Commuter case but I am trying to figure out if covering the backlights is worth it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rememo:
You are correct. The hard buttons are completely covered, so no back-lighting will come through.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
That is what I was afraid of. I really like the Commuter and it would probably be the perfect case for me if the backlights were visible. I am not sure if I am sold on the Aegis. It looks a little too big and with the plugs being harder to open it might get annoying.

I like the Incipio Silicrylic case as well, but that one has no HDMI cutout which is kinda strange. Not sure what to do at this point, but great review!
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
My Otterbox commuter came in the mail yesterday. Here are my thoughts:

1) The Otterbox was super easy to install and looks nice. I like how the Samsung logo is covered because of the continutity of black.

2) Wow, this is a a chunky case! It is much thicker than I thought it would be. I definately wouldn't want a thicker case.

3) On the other hand, this looks extremely sturdy (One guy dropped his on off his bike going 75mph and the phone was fine). I'm not surprised.

4) The bottom physical buttons are covered but still have a really good feel to them (possibly better than having them not covered). However, at night I will have to get used to the positions. I was surprised how I instinctively knew where the buttons go without looking anyways.

5) Plugs and other buttons are easy to access. On button is actually easier to press now.

6) Slides in an out of my pocket with ease.

7) Decent grip in my hand

Overall I'm pretty happy. It was chunkier than I thought from looking at the pictures, but it also looks a lot more solid. It has a much better hand feel without feeling bulky in my pocket.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
I almost went with the Aegis, but after looking at a video review of it, I decided against it because the case looks HUGE, plus in the video they said that it almost doubles the weight of the phone. I think I have only dropped a phone like 3 times in my life so I don't need some huge case to protect my phone.

I like everything about the Commuter other than the cover over the buttons. I like to be able to feel the buttons and have the backlight (especially once we get BLN support in future ROMs). So I decided against the Commuter as well.

I ended up going with the Incipio Silicrylic case. The Incipio would probably be the PERFECT case if it had the cutout for the HDMI port, but since I don't have any plans to use the HDMI port in the near future I don't think it will bother me at all. I should have my case in a few days so hopefully I like it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellisz:
I am guessing that none of these cases are easy to remove? I seem to be swapping batteries a lot lately and would need to remove the case on occasion.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
The Kraken II looks easy to remove. Mine should be here any day now so I will let you know. The Otterbox commuter is not too hard to remove. The Aegis is a little odd to put on but after doing it a few times its not a problem at all.

Quick, someone let HTC know that this random Guy who has been rooting phones for 3 whole years has found the mysterious secrets to better battery life!

Their Masters degree holding researchers and developers will be surprised at that one. :eyeroll:
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
It seems counter-intuitive, but, I swear that my E4G got better battery life when overclocked. Sure, it wasn't on the performance governer to do that...but I've beared it out many times.

Race to wait man...the sooner a CPU is finished with something the sooner it can get to idle.

edit: the more I think about it I think it's only fair to admit that I only compared stock kernel to havs/UV kernels when oc'd....
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Yes the faster it gets to idle... but theres also diminishing returns. The faster you push the processor the more energy it needs to reach that speed.

(Not saying your wrong, never really tried it)
[HTC EVO 3D] SH4YD33:
How about undervolting while overclocking?

EVO 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
1136-1152mHz was perfect....but if I tried 1190 it would drain far faster than usual. most of it burnt up as heat, I felt it. But 1136-1152 was perfect. I tried underclocking for battery gains...it still ran perfectly usable as low as 528 or 548 or whatever it was....but I never got the kind of gains I thought I would, in fact, I never noticed considerable gains in battery life, even that low for a while....

As we all know for some peculiar reason not all smartphones are the same, even of the same make model batch, etc etc etc....so YMMV, a lot, but, OC'd to 1152 running CM7, smart ass governor, (HAV/uv kernel) (with the screen-on lowest freq being whatever was the first above 245...345?) I got far better battery life than stock...once again, not fair compared to mere stock, but, even underclocked I didn't see noticeable returns....

gb source by 7/29

So with the official 4.5.91 finally being populated to everyone through regular channels (not our awesome quicker than the maker methods :p). We gain the right to demand from motorola to release the source, as according to GPL, if someone ask for the source they must release it.

Thanks joe for finding all the info on the specific lincese

Q: Why should I care if moto releases the source or not?

A: Do you want AOSP rom, and CM7, maybe MIUI. all of this are dependent on the source. otherwise is super mega complicated to create them. And available source guarantees more devs.

So what is the plan?

Simple, the plan is to demand the source, a lot, A LOT! So they dont pull the same stunt they did with 4.1.83 update. The source for that became available last week!

So we are going to do this 2 ways! The official way, and the troll way.

The official method to request source is by writing a letter to motorola mobile to the following address.

Motorola Mobility, INC.

OSS Management

600 North US hwy 45

Libertyville, IL

60048, USA

The letter of course:

I ___________ write to request the release of the source code for the following software:

The 4.5.91 firmware update for motorola Atric 4g, the webtop included in the update, and any particular software included in this update that follows GPL licensing.

The second method, the troll way. Is simply to flood the motorola forums and requested there!

Tell everyone about this effort, we need source code right away!

on twitter use this hashtag #tsib #gpl
