when u use phone battery will drain and with wifi on even more..

reduce brightness and check for background processes..

i too have a drain problem but i can live with it seeing this rom gives sense 3.5..

if u want only battery life than u have alternatives like cm7 but its non-sense.
[HTC Incredible S] clandes:
Tested a few of the new ROMs with Beats and got finally stuck on this one. It's smooth and quick and after a reboot and a freeze while playing around with FontChanger and some Tweaks it now runs stable as well.

Suggestion: would it be possible to get transparent status bar tweaks to work with Blue Sky skin as well? Would be awesome as I prefer blue to green :D
[HTC Incredible S] LorD ClockaN:
you must have something running in background

set your phone to airplane mod to eliminate radio and ril as consumers of battery.. and test like that for 10 mins and check the log
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
I cannot live with short battery life. It's extremely fast drainage for me . I wiped it clean and shiny and didn't install any much of the apps. but it's like wtf ? 9% for 15minutes of music ? and that sucks seriously .
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
why dont u get a new battery? ur battery might be faulty
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
Thought that after flash to ken's kernel become better already ? still persist ?
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
DUDE you must have a faulty batter becasue I listen to 70 mins of music at night when I sleep and I still wak up with at least 86% of my battery after a full night.

Very weird man...
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Yes , still persist. Stupid battery. lol . it's like leaking 500+ mAh per minute if I play music . I think seriously battery problem . I'm going to try going back S-ON and claim my warranty. battery problem sucks.

ken's kernel saved my ass when the dumb phone is in sleep state. lol ... giving up this time. losing too much sleep and time trying to fix this annoying problem .
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
I remember someone said CurrentWidget doesn't fully support IncS. Unlike DHD, -40mA is the lowest IncS can read.
[HTC Incredible S] mandeep294:
no, i have reached upto readings of 32 ma(sleep) with arhd

[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
thanks . I had alot of trouble. you solved one of my doubt. my last doubt is that , why are they random charges on my phone .

Like :

-48

-48

-40

-192

-50.

the 192mA part is eating alot of battery at a single shot -.-

Yours is like the ideal battery drain that anyone ever wanted :O
[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
3th time my phone spontaneously turned off while charging. Only way to restart was pulling out te battery and put it back. CPU freq are stock.
[HTC Incredible S] ankanb:
Spent around 12hrs on NiK 1.5 with the new Lord kernel, and was running out of juice way too fast.

CPU SPY showed that the phone spent no time at all in Deep Sleep and 4-5% in the lowest frequencies and spend almost 85% of the time at 1152MHz.

Compared to this - with the same setup and apps, on ARHD (with Sense 3.0 mod) with its default kernel the phone spends close to 60% of the time in Deep Sleep and hence the battery life is considerably better.

It must be some of the Sense 3.5 components as I don't have any other explanation.

Have switched back to ARHD for the moment but am keeping a very close eye on this ROM for the future :)
[HTC Incredible S] Shinobee:
as for me i normally do is format my SDcard first then copy all zip file to SDcard..

Once all done, I will copy all .zip file to SDcard...

Reboot and FIRST THING.... NANDbackup

Then wipe with ARHD super wipe....

Then flash the ROM, it's work charming...
[HTC Incredible S] mandeep294:
Ur battery drain values is under CM which is light and doesnt use much resources..

on d other hand this rom is heavy and also a lot of processes r running in backfround.so i think these battery characteristics aren't possible with nik's rom.
[HTC Incredible S] Shinobee:
Honestly how long you got your IncS?

Is true maybe is your battery faulty..

Is this problem even you use other ROM?

Maybe for the last try... flash other ROM and try it out if your battery still drain like this... then go Sim Lim tower get new battery lol
[HTC Incredible S] darkidz555:
for me i think i juz go back to nik roms 1.0 more stable and realible haha ^^ cuz i also having reboot sumtime need to take our battery also i go to nik v1.0 and flash rcmix vivo latest giving me more stable and strong in battery mod. i can notice v1.5 is realy eating alot of battery for me also b4 i use nik v1.0 and rcmix kernel my phone realy can hold the battery for around 1 day with music and data connection.btw there not much change in the v1.5 also mostly change log is for telus user only. luck515 why dun u try v1.0 and flash rcmix vivo kernel and report
[HTC Incredible S] lundberg512:
I dont think any rom on incredible s can get that low Ma like Lords pic...got some friends on the dhd and they can get that low on that device. The lowest i got is around 18Ma (on cm) using battery monitor widget.
[HTC Incredible S] BWA80:
Hi!

Flash the rom and straight after (don´t let it boot) flash the RCMIX v6 kernel.

---

BTW, I tried the default kernel for a bit and then flashed RCMIX v6 to compare, and I have to say rcmix makes the rom alot more smoother and faster!! you can feel the speed boost :D Lords kernel is young, only baby steps taken for the IncS, but it will evolve no doubt.. ;)

..just my 2 cents...
[HTC Incredible S] jeweettoch:
It looks like the freezes occur while charging, am I right? So far all freezes (resulting in pulling out the battery) with v1.5 i read about here were during charging.. could that be a problem?
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Try Klquicksall's kernel . The kernel posted in the main page. It certainly improved my battery life by a little bit provided I uv by 50mA using incredicontrol and didn't mess with the OC.

giving the settings a go tomorrow in school . (which reflects on normal usage) :D
[HTC Incredible S] buller22:
yes I always charge my phone when I install a new ROM, but have also tried without charging, with the same result

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

I will try this later tonight :)
[HTC Incredible S] jeweettoch:
Thnx, i switched to RCMIX v6 as well, see if everything goes well tonight while charging.. I can't really say i notice a difference in speed or smoothness so far..
[HTC Incredible S] buller22:
this did not work

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

and this did not work

I think it has something to do with uc, my phone is not fond of uc, but I write to nic about it
[HTC Incredible S] nikhil007mmus:
Do one thing backup sdcard format it then and try the installation instructions again .. try flashing some other Rom.like virtuous and then reflash with full wipe and everything . Or if the phone is freezing attach a logcat here il chk it so I cn rectify the problem
[HTC Incredible S] Shinobee:
I am changing to RCMIX3D kernel and test it out...

Will report back how my battery goes..
[HTC Incredible S] buller22:
Thank you Nik, can I find instructions on xda on how to create a logcat I've never tried it before
[HTC Incredible S] LorD ClockaN:
Just wanted to mention than inc kernl is copy/paste of my AOSP kernel and it's not the kernel causing the drain!
[HTC Incredible S] BWA80:
For me just swiping through the home screens is more fluid with rcmix, with lords kernel its jiddering and sometimes freezes for a millisec´s or so.. :D not much but i see it :D

and in other scenarios it feel more smoother and faster.. or my mind is just playing tricks on me.. :D
[HTC Incredible S] LorD ClockaN:
just change the governor.. there are plenty to chose from
[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
Yes, but will it fix the freezing problem when charging ?
[HTC Incredible S] husky69:
I can confirm that - same here. No real problem, just a little annoying.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Thanks for that overview, Nik. I'll look into that, too :-D

@ Luck515: A battery monitor with very little overhead and power consumption is "Battery Monitor Widget" by 3c. It has so little power footprint that you easily can run it in background / daemon mode, it has hardly any effect. Pro version available, but free version should suffice, too.
[HTC Incredible S] buller22:
yeeeeeeeeees :D:D:D finally I was able to install your new ROM :D, it helped to format my sd card, so I am now getting updated from the android market, a review of the new ROM will come tomorrow :)
[HTC Incredible S] husky69:
Same here last night. Good luck my wife got up in time, so nobody was late today...

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

M glad that worked for u ..:) hope to get the review soon :)

Probably gna make the next version Rom manager compatible so u cn get an update OTA :)
[HTC Incredible S] fazalali110:
"luggy"??? ROM speed is pretty decent! Thank you Nikhil for all your hardwork!

I went out for a drive earlier and it took much longer to get a GPS fix (about 50-60 seconds) but that was on the first use. Now I get a fix in a matter of 5-10 seconds.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Just unzip and copy to the SD card, they are just JPG images :)

Anyone else have an issue with the new boot animation?? The down animation works fine for me... I'll look into it.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Mine would be the same...

Sense 3 roms I have no issue.

vu, etc..
[HTC Incredible S] 0987363:
very nice!!!!!

thx
[HTC Incredible S] nikhil007mmus:
First thing I've been working on the Rom to make it good .. I never use the factory reset option myself so I had never tried it Neways I will look into it as I get time 3 days I had time now I don't atleast make the weekend come .none of my official testers have reported any problems regarding battery life .. for other users if you want to change the Rom go ahead there are no compulsions ..

Abt Indian developers I want some more Indians in here :)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I had no issues man, I went to bed last night with 88%, listened to music for 70mins and woke up this morning and still had 79% left, I don't think that's bad at all, battery life seems great to me...
[HTC Incredible S] bippo:
Camera and battery

My problems:

Camera (panoramic mode) not working, crash by first use, need reboot. :confused:

Battery in sleep mode using too much (from 98% to 75% in 5 hours, usually no change with first ROM).:confused:
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
wow. 70mins? that's awesome

I've tried to look for some solutions but since I'm not a coder I have no idea really how to fix it :P I did however find that some stated it could be wrong version of wpa_supplicant causing it. I don't know what version is in this ROM but they said version 0.6.10 of wpa_supplicant works.

Other than that.. amazing rom :D

Multitouch Problems Internet??

Hello!

I have a problem with the new cool ROM Version.

When I open the Internet program, at a few sites i can not create a new tab by using multi-touch (the website Decrease).

This is only possible via the Menu key.

It must a ROM Problem, because I've never had problems so .....

Can anyone confirm this one, or is this a matter of attitude?

Please help, thank you!

P.S.: Very very good ROM!!!!!

Greeting Hollux
[HTC Incredible S] zanef7:
I just noticed that sometimes in order to install an application I have to restart my phone.

For example, I have an apk on my sd card - i'll open it, and when the install button is on the left and cancel is on the right, I won't be able to press install... Anyone else?
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
It's kinda weird that you guys are getting some of these bugs, most of which I can't even seem to recreate... Have you installed any other mods than something by me and NIK??
[HTC Incredible S] LOSTLOGIC89:
Just tried this rom and i get a wifi error when i try to turn it on. I am obliged to go to another rm since i use wifi most of the times.
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Hey all , I'm back , I'm convinced that RCMIX v6 does the trick .

Here are my battery log over the night and its amazing .

@Lord , I appreciate all your effort done for your kernel and I will test it out tomorrow with the same amount of battery life and leave it to sleep over the night and see how things goes .

I know it sucks when everyone is saying that Ken's kernel is better when you tried so hard to custom make a kernel for us . Thank you so much for contributing to the InCs community . Me , compared to you is nothing , so I'm in no position to keep comparing your kernel to others and criticizing on it because both kernels has proven different reactions on different user's InCs.

Once again thanks :) will give a full test and get back to you .

@Nik , I don't know if its the Rom problem or what , HTC 's default alarm failed to wake me up and I'm late for school today >< . Haha . And just a minor bug I've found : the clock , pressing on "Show AM/PM" doesn't work . Haha nevermind thats a really minor bug though ..
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Don't give up on this awesome ROM. I've been complaining and moaning and *****ing about its battery because its fast drainage for me , but end of the day I still stick with this ROM because of its smoothness in a SENSE -BASED Rom and not AOSP rom..

You should really do a full wipe and reflash a new piece of it without using any titanium backup or whatever and I'm 70% sure that will do the trick to solve ur WiFi problems :)
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
like what itandy said. Current widget is having problems showing current for INC S, for DHD it has no problems to what you're seeing of 4ma (DHD) and 40ma (INC S) are vitually the same reading.
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
You need to change in setting,date & time, untick use 24 hour format.
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Yes ikr, finally im.convinced. haha . Thanks for clarifying two times with me - the idiot + burden .

Hey baste07, just wanna check with you , do you get freezes when you uv by 50mA ? Yesterday I uv by 50mA and I discover instability and I up back by 50 .

My whatsapp was hanging all the time and my girlfriend was like : " what's wrong with ur damn phone "

LOL . And when I'm listening to music and surfing web , its normal for my app to tell me I'm losing about 178mA / 100+ mA per minute ?
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Lol okay got it working ! :) hahaha ! Small problem:) thanks !
[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
I've been following these latest posts on the battery life and voltages with interest, not that I pay a great deal of attention to battery life in general since it's a Smartphone, not a Nokia 3200! LOL

That said, I can get over 2 weeks battery life on my Incredible S if I wanted to. Seriously. I can. Just put it into Airplane mode and don't turn the screen on. :D

OK, on a more serious side - I noticed a post about their droid not going into deep sleep mode. I had that problem and discovered that it was an app I was using. MSN Talk Pro (no longer available) that prevented deep sleep. Needless to say, I no longer use this app.

Another app I have discovered that uses more battery is Tapatalk.

Kernels - I have to agree with Luck515 that Ken's kernel performs better than Lords. Sorry Lord. I also found that with Lord's kernel, my WiFi was being turned off in sleep mode and reconnects when the phone is turned on. I'm guessing this was a battery saving feature? However, it's annoying. It takes too long to reconnect. Ken's latest v6 is very good but the small downside is that Ken has removed the WiFi cutoff extension, it's back to cutting off at -88.

However, I spoke to Ken tonight and he's promised to release another kernel with the WiFi fix back in within the next couple of days. I'll let you all know when it's ready.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
the only issue i experience when undervolting by 50mv is when i had unity kernel (which lord explained is because it has lower voltages defaults)

but for Ken and Lord's kernel i've had no problems undervolting by 50mV, but as said each phone is different and can't expect it to have the same results.

what battery monitoring app do you use?
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Battery Monitoring Widget :D . Previously I use CurrentWidget i changed to battery monitoring widget after i realised currentwidget doesnt display correct values.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
This morning my phone freezes again and cannot boot anymore. It goes straight to recovery no matter what I did. Finally this is what I did to recover the phone:

Backup just the data in recovery

Wipe the normal way

Flash the TSXL 1.5 zip

Boot the phone once and it was a success

Reboot into recovery again

Restore the data ONLY

Wipe cache + dalvik

Reboot and now everything restored correctly

This is the 4th times my phone freezes after installing V1.5. Yesterday I already uninstalled OC/UV Beater and was still using Lord Kernel. After recovering my phone this morning I flashed RCMIX V6 kernel. Let's see if it is more stable.
[HTC Incredible S] sdkim89:
Keep us updated! On another note, link to RCMIX6?

Battery life is generally good on Nik's rom with KLquicksall.. imo..

tested , 75% + about 1 hour of music + xda forum all the way drops my battery to about 55% , 20% (considered high)

however, when phone is in standby mode with mobile data off, battery is a tanker lol :D
[HTC Incredible S] muk12:
I flashed this ROM last nite- and I can connect my phone to home wirless WPA/PS2 but I cant get the phone connected to Enterprise Wireless connection which requires the domain\username and password to connect- Please fix this issue I have had this problem before on Virtous Unity ROM too -CM7 connects fine to Enterprise wireless connection . Thanks.

i faced random reboots with ken's v6 kernel. probably it's just me coz i uv'ed by 75 lol
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
wow how did you uv by 75. i cant uv . just simply uv by 50 brings me into unstable mode and hangs my whatsapp when i chat with my girlfriend :confused::confused:
[HTC Incredible S] BWA80:
Hehe, even you are lucky luck :) my IncS is so sensitive it will start whining and wimping and shutdown if i UV at all, not even -25 and it goes dramatic and freezes its ass up + it seems that i can only use RCMIX kernel, all the others i have tried bring freezing and problems.. i have a ***** of a phone, but i just have to please it and it will co-op with me.. :)
[HTC Incredible S] ankanb:
The apps that were preventing it were HTC Sense Components mostly (wakelock contained on Sense apps) - no clue why...

With the same set of installed apps, my phone happily goes to deep sleep with ARHD, so its the Sense 3.5 stuff :|

Will probably try the next iteration of this ROM with Ken's kernel and see if things are any better.
[HTC Incredible S] nikhil007mmus:
Bro is ur WiFi sleep mode on .. go to power ---> Enable sleep mode ---> set to never sleep

I dunno this time wen ive released the Rom everyone is all about undervolting and oc and all that y to do all that use the phone normally .. just as it is .. if u don't mess around with the phone it won't mess arnd with u with reboots and freezes .. one more thing is there are some folders on ur sd card where unwanted data gets stored like scripts etc. So take a backup and format sd .. reinstall apps , music and only some data u want and try ..

I have not had one issue since I've flashed the Rom and Lord's kernel is there in it ..

Weneva u get a freeze attach a logcat here , how to do thAt :

Download alogcat from market .

Install and run it

Weneva freeze occur if u have to restart after restarting go to alogcat open options say "pause" and then "save file" and ur done

Attach the file in ur post
[HTC Incredible S] TMarcus68:
@Nik do you have the patch for enterprise wifi fix?
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
What's your reason for UV? For me I think that when my phone is in sleep mode , battery is a damn tanker and it's EXCELLENT!

when i start usage, it's not anymore. Drain fast. But nonetheless , i already heck it and continue using the ROM :D. That's why I've a charger. I tried many things, flashing from kernels to kernels, full discharges, batterystats.bin wipe , reflash, anything related that will help battery drain when I use , I practically tried everything and I decided to UV to try to save a bit of my voltage loss.

yet it gives me hang with whatsapp and random freezes + reboot when it's uv by 50mA. Now I'm not on any OC and UV and I think it's just fine. Just that I should reduce usage of my phone and charge whenever there's a charger nearby . LOL
[HTC Incredible S] nikhil007mmus:
Yes 2 patches I've got will put up in an hr or 2 just woke up now
