Inconsistent battery life?

First, thanks! This ROM is smooth and quick and pretty and I've only had one reboot. Doesn't really bother me.

HOWEVER, after flashing yesterday I had almost superhuman battery life. Something like 20% in 6 hours with medium use and poor signal.

Today though, I'm at eight hours and just hit 10%. This is probably unrelated to your room specifically, but what causes this? I was fully charged when I flashed your ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Get a wall charger. If you charge strictly off usb, pull the battery when charged.

[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
If you're looking for a way to reduce ram leakage induced reboots, you can push the attached script to system\etc\init.d.

This is Juwell's latest ram script that I've been using for the last week with somewhat noticeable improvements. For the life of me, however, I've lost track of where I downloaded this script from. :rolleyes:

Let me know if it helps.

I also used option 1 to confirm no homescreens were saved in memory after disabling in launcher pro. Hit menu,preferences, advanced setings, memory usage settings, and uncheck the use homescreen cache box. Run the v6 supercharger script again and hit 1, and then any other button other than y.

Google Framework FC's.

Anyway to get rid of them? Anybody? I really like this ROM and want to stay on it, but that one is driving me crazy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
You're only suggesting this if someone isn't using the V6 SuperCharger Script right? Don't know too much about scripts, but trying to learn them as I go ;).

Love everything about this rom except the random reboots. This seems to just be a gingerbread issue and is seriously making me consider going back to randomrom plus 2.2.1. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Hawk is great, I have been running it for about a week (not running v2 yet), and I have had no serious issues yet. I still get random reboots every few days, not a huge deal but it is a bit annoying.

Battery life is impressive.. Results below.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sevenjays:
I did restore bluetooth settings and I think the wallpaper and maybe wifi settings when I had the problem. I went ahead and did a factory reset and this time haven't restored any settings, just apps + data on the apps I use most frequently. So far no problems. I'll stay away from restoring any settings for now. It's not to big of a deal to reconnect bluetooth and wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Mybackup and Titanium each seem to have issues some times restoring alternate settings under different roms. It's never quite predictable.

Try the script I attached a few posts back.

Yes only use one. They will compete.

:D

UPDATE: Just for anyone who hasn't noticed my new thread, I've posted up Transparent Messaging .zips. The "Black & Blue" will be built into the next RandomROM revision. Technically it's Gray & Blue... I'm working on making the gray darker. Anyway, the thread is here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
Finally flashed and so far I'm lovin it! Great battery life and this is my 1st RandomROM but sure as hec won't be my last. Restored all my apps & data from Urban Decay EG22 and I haven't had a single reboot. Everything is runnin fast, smooth and snappy. Will be bac with more details after I've put in some work with it and will also give thanks when I get bac to my cpu.

Rooted and Booted Super Epic.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] turbosocks:
alright, back to comment a bit more since I have had this new setup.

Yesterday I had the Battery % issue where after a reboot, it dropped ~30%. I assumed that it was actually 30% higher and it would either go back up or just hang at 1% or 0% for the remaining time. I rode it out throughout the day, hoping this was the case. It powered down at 0 and judging by % only, it should have lasted a lot longer.

I had ZERO issues with google framework force close until I let the battery completely drain, which is weird?!? on boot, I used to have it freeze up and FC Go launcher ONCE and then it was fine.. Now I get 3 Framework FC's in a row, then its fine. (I am not worried about the FC's only when booting, just noting it)

Now my battery (even after a battery stat reset) is stuck at 100%..

I haven't had ANY random resets thus far (that I know of anyway)

I DID try the Sprint Hotspot yesterday for the first time!! Works AWESOME. thanks so much for that, I always had ****ty reliability with the wireless tether apps for rooters.

also tried the GPS last night. worked great, locked on quicker than when my phone was 'stock' or with the last ROM/modem.

I really appreciate your work on this ROM and you personally responding to questions/concerns. Thanks SO much for this, I will most likely stick with your ROMS in the future, I am so happy with this one!

If you need a tester for anything in the future, I would be more than willing to help out with any of your projects. I am available all the time.

Best rom by far, love everything about it.

Running rom for 5 days. Having no problems with random boots or FC's.

I avg 5 hrs max per battery and I lost my email. Gives me a error

"sorry use *#9900# to take log. all else is great very happy.

Battery life has been constant for me since i've owned the phone with various

roms. I use 3 batteries per day.

Anybody know why my text messages are only showing up in Google Voice now? I don't think it is related to the ROM itself, but maybe the way I installed it. I am running HAWK v.2, but this time when I installed, I deleted all user data and am restoring apps as I need them. Up until now I have always gotten text messages in the text message application. Any ideas?

LOVE the ROM, btw!! Excellent work, as always!

[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
Is that for the V6 memory app?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
Oh Ok cause when I flashed the JournalingOFF.zip, I started to get something like what you described, but since your on JournalingON default, I don't know why that is happening to you.

[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
No that is a separate script. I also asked earlier about using both scripts, but you're only suppose to use 1 at a time.

dja2k
[Epic 4G Android Development] ehurt152:
Yes you need to change your settings in google voice. I had the same thing happen to me. Do it from a lap top.

Also, you may want to delete google voice from your phone, then reinstall. You'll still get your voice to text messages.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
For those having battery draining issues, have you guys ever calibrated your battery after flashing? I use Battery Calibration, free from the market, and I've seen great battery life. Could be the modems too, I find that EH06 works best for me as EG22 drained my battery faster.

dja2k
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
That is actually a preset standalone RAM tweak. It works well. You don't need V6 to run this one. V6 is run through Script Manager and you pick the settings. The one I posted you just flash it and you're done
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, I use Battery Calibration by Ne'Ma and it seems to work great. I always have it installed now since I test so many ROMs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
Have you tried calibratin ur battery? Also, what is ur setup (screen brightness, 4g, wifi, gps etc? Are you overclockin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaounit:
go to voice.google.com on a computer

click your phone number on the top right, it will take you to settings

under phones tab make sure "Receive text messages on this phone" is checked

it happens when the google voice app tries to integrate your sprint number with gvoice number again. drove me crazy the first time it happened to me
[Epic 4G Android Development] carnivalrejectq:
anyone have any idea why i had that cool crt animation on the first bootup and play around but havent seen it since?!? i was messing with lock screens , did i turn it off? im lost cuz everything else works besides these random reboots where the phone refreshes its self but doesent actually reboot.....but i miss the crt animation! lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
Aight I kno half of yal gonna make fun of me for this question, but I gotta ask. Can I flash THIS just like a regular kernel and continue on like normal or will this mess something up?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Make sure under Settings>Display that your animations are on.

Should work as it is another GingerBread. Doesn't seem like it changes much, if anything. If you try it, report how it performs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] h4kudoshi:

[Epic 4G Android Development] biodtl:
Great rom, very happy with it.

I have been getting increased Google Framework FC's over the past few days. I tried Fixing Permissions with no change in behavior. I do restart the phone once a day. I did install the Gmail app from market, and have auto-sync on.

The FC's occur in multiple places:

Twice on first boot

Once every time I dial

Occasionally at end of call (I think if the recipient hangs up first).

Any suggestions?

I should add that I am running the EH06 modem from the acsyndicate link
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
Honestly I have too! Before I wasn gettin any FC's or reboots at all now I get the EXACT samething u mentioned above EXACTLY like u stated it. Jst started happenin lastenite after I flashed Chris41 EH06+.....but othber than tht RandomKing this ROM is the SH*T!!!

Rooted and Booted Super Epic.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
For those of you that are receiving Google Framework FC's, there seems to be a problem tied to either Auto-Sync, Google Calendar, or Gmail. None of which I utilize, and I have not experienced these crashes. Out of curiousity, I've delved into the differences in the GoogleServicesFramework.apk of EG22 and EH06 to see if I could determine any improvements and if the EH06 version will function in EG22.

I have not confirmed any changes regarding these activities, but I may test it regardless.

HOWEVER! I have confirmed drastically increased support for GTalk video. Something no-one seems to be able to make work with EG22.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Try flashing back to the kernel that hawk v2 came with.

make a copy of EH06PlusKernel.zip.

rename is hawkv2kernel.zip

open it with 7zip (free) have to use that because windows zip will screw up the zip file

then open randomrom-2.3.4-hawk2.zip (again with 7zip)

dbl click on the kernel folder

copy the files from the randomrom zip kernel folder to the newly created hawkv2kernel.zip

close both 7zip windows.

copy the hawkv2kernel.zip to your phone and flash, that will restore the kernel that came with hawk v2

see if that clears your sudden FCs after flashing the EH06 kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] turbosocks:
reporting back in again to keep on top of my comments on this ROM.

I re-flashed this a couple times after having FC issues.

I seemed to ONLY have FC issues after I tried flashing any new .zip files like the transparent MMS app .

I have started messing with JUST the apk and not using a .zip to edit it without any issues with FCing.

So far, on the 'fresh flash' I have set everything back up the way I wanted it. I have tried out most of the google apps without any force closing. I went to the included email app instead of gmail because it seems alot nicer and the black theme (personal preference)

I have done a Titanium restore on about 40 apps without it causing any issues.

Sprint Hotspot - working great

Gmail - working

Gtalk - working

Custom Statusbar- working

Installed Black Transparent Facebook - working

GMaps - working

Navigation - working -quick, accurate lock

GVoice - working

Black Market - working

GoLauncher Pro - No force closes in 8 boots

Google Search -working

Battery Life seems to be going great in the past 8 hours considering all the restores/backups/installs/checking email/settings adjustments

Phone Stats/Mods right now:

Tegrak @ 1.2Ghz

V6 Supercharger @ option 9 (Mega Ram 2)

su superfreeze

Journaling OFF

Black Android background (to save on display drain)

Black Market (to save on display drain)

Black Mini Dolphin (to save on display drain)

Customized Swype with dark grays and some blacks (to save on display drain)

froze SNSaccount and SNS

android peeing on apple boot animation

Most importantly, everything is running smooth without a single force close since not flashing any Zip files AFTER the initial ROM flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaounit:
make sure under settings -> lockscreen settings -> general -> window animations that you have normal or slower. the crt animation turns off when you use fast window animations for some reason.

you can keep your transition animations as fast though
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaounit:
this rom keeps getting better and better. decided to odin the eh06 modem last night and my battery life has dramatically increased. 16 hours and sitting at 62%.

after odining i did start experiencing force closes on google services framework and calendar storage. tried fixing permissions but it didn't work. reflashed and it was still fcing on reboot. then fixed permissions again and it was all good.

Typically the a, e, or spacebar. Exiting the text/entry field and going back to it usually fixes this problem, and it only happens occasionally, so I'm not able to pintpoint the cause. Does anyone have any further information with this error?

I have now tried the following with no change in behavior:

Latest EH06Plus, Fix Permissions

Later today I may try a 3x wipe and reflash again to see if it clears it up. Will let you know what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
I reflashed the ROM and EH06+ now I have no FCs at all. I restored my apps+data with MyBackup Pro flashed The HoneyComb Explosion theme and still no FCs at all. I did a test and it turns out I only get the FCs when I try to restore data via CWM. My question to you did you restore data???
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
none really, force of habit from EC05 days where there are a lot more kernels and roms used different ones.

Installed the ROM yesterday, looks awesome so far!

At first, it had a cool effect when the screen went dark that looked like a TV turning off. I'm noticing today that it's gone.

Is there an easy way to get it back? I don't know exactly when it stopped doing the effect, but I was trying different lock screens yesterday after installing, maybe related? I also tried installing a different boot & shutdown animation, might that of overwritten it, if so anyway to restore it, or merge the TV off effect with a different boot anim?
[Epic 4G Android Development] henboffman:


Do you have animations disabled? That fixed it for me, you have to have some animations at least.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thebitguru:
I noticed the same thing. After reading @henboffman's comment I realized that I had tinkered with the window animation settings. So, I played around with it a bit and found out that setting the "Window animations" (Settings > Lockscreen Settings > General > Window animations) setting to Fast or Off disables that TV animation to speed up the locking.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
1. from what I understand this happens when you're running very low on memory. are you running lots of widgets, livewall paper, email checks, facebook sync, frequent weather updates and the like??

2. i did some searching; I could only find people taking about an app called no lock, also remember these apps will have to stay in memory to do the no lock and will eat up more memory and cause LP to redraw even more

This rom is running ALMOST perfectly for me. The only thing that isn't wokring for me is the built-in video camera recorder. Is that a GB leak limitation for now or is there a way to fix it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thehelios:
I loved Launcher Pro but the app reseting would happen way to often. On a fresh start, I could run Plants vs. Zombies or any other high memory game and when leaving it, LP would have to restart. Very annoying indeed.

I've been using a new launcher named ADW Launcher which is actually a bit quicker IMO and has a lot of the same features.

Video works fine for me; I think I have read that the SD card can cause the video not to work. either its nearly full or has a bad spot.

if it isn't full then, I'd take out the sd card and put it in a reader, copy the contents to your PC and format the card (FAT32) then copy the contents back and put it back in the phone.

there is also this thread, that has a tweak for faster sd card reading, some on that thread stated their video ran better/was fixed using it

Ive been running this rom with EH06PlusKernel / EH06 modem, superfreeze, v6supercharger script and journaling off. Over night I turn off data and wifi which allows me to still receive calls and IM's. An 8 hour night for me yields 0% battery drain. During the day at work I turn on data only when I need to use the internet or check emails, moderate phone calls averaging 2-3 minutes. From 6:30am to 3pm I normally loose about 10-15% battery. Out of everything, 3G sucks up the most juice. All the Rom/Kernel combinations Ive tried in the past have always left me at around 40% if I was lucky at the end of the day. Considering that I'm in a hurricane at the moment and expect to loose power at any moment, this is a big plus!

This thing ROCKS!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] h4kudoshi:
The reboots have always been totally random and still continues to do so. No set times really on how long I have gone. I've gone hours or sometimes 30 minutes in between the reboots.

You have made a top notch rom and I love everything about it. My phone has never seemed snappier!
