almost anytime I get drain like that or a warm battery, it is an app, not the ROM, not the kernel. the biggest culprits are usually Maps/Navigation or YouTube.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Just about to post the exact same thing. Not the ROM, it's an app on your phone draining.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mgrmitch:
Setcpu Settings lost

Downloaded 2.5. Everything working great! I have the lost setting for setcpu. What are the best settings for this new kernel.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Ughhh... Alcohol :eek:

Yeah, check my site... xROM Baby! Waiting on intiatial feedback from bro1k before I release it to beta.

Im very sorry you are seeing this. Have you looked at battery stats to see what is causing this?

I can assure you every time someone complains of this sort of issue its a run away app or its bad reception. Take a look at those first.

As you can read the reviews; this ROM has exceptional battery life.

Yep!

Indeed!

I would let it be... I did everything needed to make the ROM perform optimally the way it is. As few people said earlier... Set it and forget it, lol :cool:

[HTC EVO 3D] tjmontan:
Scott, will battery life on X be better or worse than CleanRom? I see it is for power users but was wondering if that means ---those who want speed or those who want battery ? Again great stuff..
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Its in testing... I honestly dont know yet. Lots of factors will determine that and they are simply unknown at this time. When I release it I should have more info.
[HTC EVO 3D] hypersonicx:
Battery Drain

I'm not sure what's going on. My battery stats are fine and no app is causing the drain. Maybe It's bad reception.

Looking forward to your next ROM though and will stay on this one in the mean time. Trying to decide this or senseless LOL.
[HTC EVO 3D] kenneu:
Just for grins, I installed bcblend .03 and setcpu. I have tried smartassv2 and ondemand and I noticed something interesting... Charging from a PC cannot keep up with drain when using the phone for various tasks. Even though plugged into my PC and it indicates "charging", battery monitor widget reports a "negative" charge rate and the battery still drains slowly.

I have it set right now to "on demand" with 152 as my upper end... I'm going to try it for the rest of the day and see what happens.

I know that pc usb ports don't provide as much juice as the wall plug (at least in my experience). The wall plug can keep up with the demand, however. Using it for the rest of the day may be a bit more telling....
[HTC EVO 3D] jbermi:
also, using USB from pc, I have noticed this both on the OG evo and the 3D, the battery will run warmer than normal, and charging via USB keeps your phone in a wakelock...so if you are using it while its charging via PC you will see that drain will not keep up with use. has nothing to do with kernel or anything, its how HTC phones act while plugged into the PC, from my experience...

sms app intermitantly not associating contact name

Anyone else notice that the messaging app isn't associating contact name intermittently. I have not had this happen on stock but on clean and wstb this problem occured I use Google, Exchange, Facebook, and Linkedin
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Very interesting!

Hmmmmm

I have not seen this issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] kenneu:
I've never noticed this before. I've read about users complaining that their phones would still drain on USB but this is my first experience with it happening. I had an OG Evo as well and didn't notice it on any of the kernels or ROMs I tried.

Perhaps it is a coincidence, but I did notice it right away and I use my phone while plugged in quite frequently.
[HTC EVO 3D] brol1k:
Isn't this happening in xron ROM also? I believe it is tho.

Question for ya what keyboard are ya using?

[HTC EVO 3D] jbermi:
most people won't notice it, unless they are really looking for it. only time I am usually plugged into the PC, i am using android commander. it just depends on how heavily you are using your phone while its charging...playing angry birds would be a good example. lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:

Quick question rom updater keeps force closing.. and the thing is I was on 2.3 and went straight to 2.5. Get the 4000 mah battery and you would stop *****ing about the battery ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Sometimes ROM Updater force closes when trying to preview screenshots. Is that what you mean or is it something different?
[HTC EVO 3D] btkgator:
This is prefaced by the fact that I am a noob....Does that mean if you have 1.5 you could use the Android Commander instead of the SDK tool to flash kernels? Or for that matter even to root the 1.5? SDK make me a little timid. :confused:

any1 elses stock screenshot not taking pics?

it was working in 2.4 but just tryed a screenshot on 2.5, it says it saved in camera shots but nothing there.

edit: nevermind rebooted and its working now
[HTC EVO 3D] kenneu:
Another observation with bcblend. I'm on setcpu with min 384 (default) and max 152xxx. Phone has refused to power up twice. I had to remove the battery to get it going again. I'm going to flash back to the original kernel. It certainly could be setcpu or something other than bcblend specifically, but I was doing just fine with the previous configuration. I should have left well enough alone. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Right now, IM using bcblend and I have pushed the CPU to its max before things start fo force close and I dont see that issue. Its running very smooth! I am using VOC though instead of setcpu. That could be the issue?

kernal question

your site says 2.5 has freeza’s modified Stock Kernel v4a

but here it says mWalt Kernel

Which is it and does it matter?
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Complete wipe is recommended. You may very use it without just cache wipes but if you haven problems then go back and do a full wipe and install.

Virtuous Over Clock Daemon. Its here somewhere on XDA. I dont have a link at the moment.

What?

Yeah, typ0. Fixed now. Matters quite a bit. mWalt2 is what you should see.

What kernel would you suggest I use to overclock my evo using 2.5?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] aoaleman:
First thing I would check is the actual SD card and its housing unit. I doubt it's a software issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Its your SD Card. Format it or something. Its not a ROM issue. Its a hardware issue.

Evo or Evo 3D? If you are on Evo 3D then I suggest the bnice kernel.

Indeed!
[HTC EVO 3D] Lrod0175:

Yes, but quadrant scores are very inaccurate at best. Its not a good measure of performance. Try linpack instead and you will see the diff. Also, you can feel the diff on kernels just with day to day usage.

[HTC EVO 3D] Lrod0175:
No doubt, formatting the sd card will give him a fresh start and also will avoid any potential card errors in the near future, however he might want to mount it first and copy what is important for him, like pics and any other pertinent file.

Just in case, these r the steps I follow to properly format the sd and install a rom, for those having sd card errors and want to format and start fresh:

Copy what u have in the sd card to your computer.

From your computer, format the sd card and check for errors as well.

Copy your rom back to the sd, install it.

Reboot, set your Evo up.

Copy the files u want back to your sd card.

At 1800 my Evo lags and battery drainage is bad as well, understandable thou, but the performance is not good on my end with oc, on the other hand if I keep it at 1500s or below that it works great, I'm at 49 % on my battery now.

Scott, I'm trying to load a different kernel, bc's v.03. I have 1.5 boot so I've been doing it through fastboot, but just leaving it as a zip file doesn't work. Should I change the name of the zip to boot.img? Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
No, you are doing it wrong. After you enter fast boot you have to go recovery....

Follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17660133&postcount=1877

I know they work because I just walked someone through them on my website chat.
[HTC EVO 3D] balistc:
Sorry, I went into recovery from fastboot, just like the instructions. I have flashed an older 2.3.3 rom that changed the kernel, but when I try that bc zip file it doesn't change. It looks like it went thru the zip right in recovery.

Never mind, I flashed the kernel with the rom and it changed! I would usally flash the rom then reboot and let it load up. For some reason it just wont work when I flash the kernel after. It would leave the old kernel and I would lose wifi just like it said in the instructions.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:
Skype?

Scott, I really appreciate all the work you put into this ROM. I have been using it for a while, and it is working great!

Yesterday, I tried to use my Skype app, and the option to make a video call is no longer there. I don't know if it's a problem with Skype, or if it's possible that some of the camera tweaks in this ROM aren't compatible with Skype.

Has anyone else had issues with Skype video calling no longer working? Any recommendations as to what I should look at?

Thanks again!

[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Your following the instructions 100%? I have walked a few people through it on my website and they had success. Maybe you can join chat on my site tonight and we can try there?

Try the attached ZIP. Its the Cam from 2.4.... If that doesnt fix it then I am note sure then... Also, to be safe, wipe cache / Dalvik before installing.

Im at work so I cant do much of anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

He he, I don't use Skype that often either, however, I might now. I think that video feature is cool. Which, BTW, see my above post, yes, it is an option and it works on my CleanROM 2.4.

Glad I was finally able to help someone!

I just tested Skype from the market and had no issues at all with Video on CR2.5. Works as intended.

Final conclusion: Skype is fine, ROM is fine.

Ok what I will do is migrate that hack to the 2.4 Cam and then push it via ROM Updater later tonight... If I have time.

You can install the 2.4 Cam if you want. Maybe someone can post it as zip. I just deleted it from the post I put it in for testing this Skype issue. Let me see if I can recover it real quick.

Nope its gone... Maybe someone else can post it. At work now...
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:
I usually do a complete wipe before flashing, but can't remember for sure if I did when I moved from 2.4 to 2.5. I just tried loading a different ROM (Eternity) and my Skype works there. I'll do a complete wipe and try starting fresh again with 2.5 (I prefer your ROM to others I've tried) and report back as to whether it's working.

Again, Scott, the level of support for this ROM is incredible. I am going to feel stupid for wasting your time if it ends up that the issue was caused by a dirty flash, but I'll let you know either way.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:

Keyboard and Lock Screen Issues

Anyone having keyboard and lock screen issues?

My keyboard doesn't work sometimes when text messaging or using the internet browser. I have to use task manager to close those task for it to reset.

Also, I can not change or use any icons on my lock screen (its blank with a pull ring).

Thinking about reverting back to 2.4...

Despite the minor issues... I think you guys do a great job with this ROM!!!

Correction: Swype is the keyboard issue....just switched to gingerbread or touch
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Did you apply any themes? Lock screen issue sounds like a corrputed or incompatible rosie.apk which would result from a theme being applied. Don't know that for fact.

And I will take the credit for the ROM ;) lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Trueno7:
nope....no themes
[HTC EVO 3D] taappel:
I've had problems with swype on the 3d even back when I was running the stock rom. I noticed if I change the input method to the htc keyboard and then back to swype it unlocks the swype keyboard and I'm able to use it again. Now I use SwiftKey X and I like it much better.
