[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawke591:
It really depends on if the phone was made before the ota release date and whatnot. You cn request that it come with 2.2 instead of gb. This method may not work for everyone but I know that it has worked for the friends I have around my area. They saw what happened and wanted to try it and its worked for them. If you feel that its a longshot at getting the right phone

Then by all means stick with what you've got. I just was willing to try anything to get rid of gb. But now I'm running cm7 with a tiamat kernel and am very happy. Little side note: I actually didn't break my phone on purpose.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgotgame816:
I see your method and point so I am in KCMO AKA Kansas City MO doing some research online and from Best Buy they have an HTC EVO for 99.99 in white Android 2.2 and even called them to confirmed but doing some thinking and playing around on the Android Market SPB 3D its Awesome since I cant root my phone but I pay the 14.95 that way my phone is not harm and I have my warranty still but i am sticking with SPB 3D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawke591:
They just came out with the revolutionary root for gingerbread. Look in the android dev section and you'll find it. It works too. I rooted a friends phone using that method and he had absolutely no issues with his phone. Even though my usb cord had a short in it there was no problem with it that made it brick even though it disconnected multiple times. Id have to say that it is a very safe root method. So check it out if you're still interested in root
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelongyp:
Hi all,

i know this question has been posted many times but it didn't really help for me. I've flash my phone to 2.3.4 and root it with CF-ROOT. I checked my phone storage and internal memory is still left with 700+M.

However when i install apps by running APK or installing them from market, it keeps prompting that there is insufficient storage.

Its definately not any issue with the market because i used the new market and the old one and even running apk direct, it still gives me the same problem.

Is there a hard limit in the phone that sets some memory for internal use thus i can't use the 700M left?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxwookie:
Not my device (I'm running an original Fascinate with custom ROM), but have you tried booting into recovery and wiping the Dalvik Cache?

Once you do this and reboot the device, it will take a few minutes to reach the main screen as the cache has to be rebuilt.

It worked for me, though I had to wipe the darn thing several times as I was reinstalling all my apps.

Hope this helps,

this is the only reason i hate CM7. it drains battery like hell. yes, im already using "conservative" cpu governor and have JuiceDefender installed.

when i was on the stock LG rom, battery life used to be about 3-3.5 days on normal usage. after flashing with CM7 (the latest stable version), i need to charge it every night. if i do a lot of net surfing, battery will last for only 15 hrs.

is there some other gingerbread rom with which i can get back the normal battery life?

btw looking at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1137142&page=4 , one says he got 25 hrs of battery.... are CM roms so battery hungry? i really used to get 3 days of battery using the stock LG rom....... :( but its froyo and i cant go back to froyo....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
First, you can go back to Froyo by flashing the stock ROM through KDZ. But all your data would be wiped out. Take backups.

And regarding battery backup, I think 25 hours of battery backup on moderate-heavy usage is fine. I'm not sure whether we can get 3 days on froyo with the same usage. I didnt use froyo much as I immediately rooted my phone and flashed CM7 based ROMs.

On Andy's ROM with Andy's kernel, I can get 25 to 30 hours with heavy usage, with 6 hours of sleeping period in between. So it is 20-24 hrs of almost constant heavy usage.

horrible battery life

flashed rjtchn's cm7 just now. And havent even restored backups yet. And as I surf on xda now on my wifi, battery is decreasing by 1% every 2 mins in front of my eyes.... it was 100% at 5.35pm and its 89 at 6.04pm now..... WTH is happening? Also to mention, I had bought my phone only a month ago with incredible battery till I started flashing Roms...

I'm using. Rover theme. Does that have. Anything to do with battery?

I had wiped battery Stat when my phone was in 100%, then I flashed the rom, rebooted, and then connected to USB mass storage for 20 mins to do transfers. ( it got charged again). Anything wrong in this process?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
go to settings>about phone>battery use

check to see what's eating up your battery. it might be an app that's causing it (especially Google maps)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fratermus:
I am wrestling with battery life. Not being able to run 24hrs on one charge seems silly to me.

To use some round numbers, from best to worst given my standard usage patterns: {0}

48 hrs (2% per hr drain) -- stock LG 2.2 ROM rooted, crapware removed, SetCPU onDemand 122-600. Consistently runs 48hrs on a full charge.

24 hrs (4% per hr drain) -- stock ROM as it came out of the box.

18 hrs (5-6% per hr) -- CM7 RC1 unchanged. It seems closer to 5% per hour when I set onDemand in CM perf settings to 122-600 and tore out the launcher (using the delightful Zeam instead)

I can go to sleep with my OptT on the bedstand and wake up 8 hrs later and it's dropped from 100% to 60%.

I did do a brief test of Void forever and like the cleanliness of it. But development appears to be ended so no hope of BT working well or battery optimization. If I had an extra T500/509 I'd send it to the dev so he could continue testing. I did run it for a few hours but after I tested BT I didn't have the heart to go install all my crap on it for extensive testing. {EDIT: going to try it out today and see if I can hit 48hrs with it}

I am a big CM fanboi so I would love to hang in there with Mik until BT and battery are better. I mentioned battery drain in a (pre-CM7RC1) thread once and it was not well received, so I haven't mentioned it again until this thread.

If BT and battery don't eventually get improved (and I assume they will) I'll stick with the stock, rooted ROM.

I'm on gingerlol with paolos kernel. I use my phone for a few messages a day and about 1 call per day. Playing around with the phone depends, somedays more somedays less. Battery lasts 2 to 3 days. Can't remember having more juice on stock froyo.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] spellspark:
Same here! :) Just remember to change the governer to sth like on-demand or conservative! ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ElGeorge:
Well... reading you guys talking about 2-3 days of battery life makes me think that I'm either doing something wrong, or my battery is a bit damaged, 'cause the only way I could think my Optimus One would last for 2-3 days would be with no use at all.

I got this phone from a friend who had owned for only 2 months and the phone was already rooted and with a custom ROM already installed (Light 2.2.2 which is fairly close to stock). With that ROM the battery would last for a day max.

Shortly after I started installing other custom ROMs and testing them:

- Devoid Froyo Final: The most responsive ROM I've tried, but I had horrible battery life with it, with only around 18 hours of bat with moderate use and 3G on.

- OpenOptimus: Seems a bit laggy to me, and battery life was not even better than Devoid's

- LOL 1.4.2: I finally settled with this one. The ROM is pretty responsive (although not as snappy as Devoid) and at least with this one I can have a full day of battery life (sometimes a bit more).

I must say that I always keep an eye on apps running in the background and stop those I know I don't need always running. I also use Titanium Backup to "Freeze" apps that I know I won't use on a daily basis (like Google Maps and Navitel GPS).

The other thing I'd like to mention is that I keep GPS off (unless I specifically need it), but I always have data ON, either via Wifi when I'm at home, or 3G when I'm out of home. My Wifi Sleep Setting is set to "Never".

The only two apps that I know are working regularly on my phone are:

K9 Mail: Receiving mails for 5 Gmail accounts (all configured as PUSH so that shouldn't drain much battery)

Whatsapp: Receiving messages from friends and family, but that app is also PUSH so battery drain should be minimal also.

Overnight drain with Wifi On is about 5%

What do you guys think?

BTW... probably during this week I'll flash one of the 2.3.3 based ROMS (GingerLOL). I hope that being a "LOL" Rom it would be as stable as my current one.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fratermus:
Not a long test, but I did put all my apps back onto void #forever for an apples to apples test.

Set it on my nightstand and we both slept for 6 hrs. 100% down to 66% in 6hrs, for a drain rate of 5.7% per hour. Gack.

I suspect the real killer is the broken CM7 bluetooth stack in our devices at the moment, but since I use my phone gets used as a wireless mp3 player most of the time I really need it. When CM7 for OptT gets a fix for BT I think It will be nearly perfect for my needs.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
my battery life isnt that good either. but then again more performance=less battery life
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kawaiiDango:
Void #forever is truly the best rom I have ever tried.... The best thing on it is that its "void" :) and u can choose which stock aps to install. Thnx a lot guys for recommending me this rom.

Rjtchn's rom had better performance. Quadrant score was 1005 without overclocking(i don't remember the exact). Void's score is 840. But it has incredible battery.

Its the first rom I have ever seen with cell standby having the max bat. usage on 2g network. (all others had android system). That means just by putting on flight mode, things would go even better
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fratermus:
It's a balance issue, I guess.

I was researching another issue and so set my phone (as described below) down for 20hrs 23mins and it is now at 84% battery. 23.3hrs / 16% battery usage = ~0.75% per hour.

Compare that with 5-6% an hour I was getting with CM7 on the bedstand. I suggest that CM7RC1 is , despite it's general wonderfulness, not providing 6x the performance for 6x the battery drain.

I am a CM faboi and have done the "buy Cyanogen a beer" thing on his site. I eagerly await CM7 going gold for our devices, and I hope the battery/performance balance is on parity.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] fratermus:
Further thoughts on the matter.

1. As of 6.5.6 (AFAIK it's that verision) the SCO/phone bluetooth functionality works. This, along with battery drain, was a big deal for my use.

2. Bluetooth, even unpaired, still represents 25%-33% of this ROM's battery consumption in my case.

I'm testing out a Tasker profile that turns off BT if it's unpaired for X minutes, currently set to 3. It works.

If I can get drain down to 3%/hr or less I think I will be able to use CM7-RC as a daily driver.

Why? It's smooth (like CM6 in menu scrolling, flinging, it's not choppy like other GB roms.)
