[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
The amount of time that a person spent talking on the phone doesn't necessarily give you a good idea of how much it has been used. I don't talk on the phone often - maybe a couple of two or three minute calls here or there. When my boyfriend is out of town (about every other weekend) we talk for a while, but other than that I don't use the phone part of my phone very often. I do abuse the crap out of it though.

Even if someone talked on it constantly, it wouldn't mean problems would occur. My first two Evos were brand new. The charging port broke on the first one within a month. The second one had irreparable software issues that caused me to return it within two weeks. I've had this Evo for almost a year and it was refurbished.

I do know that there are dialer codes that will give you more information, like if it has been refurbished or not. I don't know what the codes are or what information you'll get from them, but it's a place to start. Maybe you can find them through a Google search or something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
I agree with plainjane on this. I use about 45 minutes per month on my phone. Sometimes I use less than that. However, I am a text and data whore. The first phone I had was brand new because I bought it the morning the Evo was released. Six hours later I was robbed at gunpoint and my phone was stolen. So I got a replacement. It spent some time as stock and then I rooted it. Phone worked perfectly but I had dropped it a few times. The case was cracked slightly but nothing too visible. Then I cracked the screen. So I got a third one. And this one has been physically treated like a baby but has been flashed to hell with various ROMs and software packages.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] BravoMotorola:
I don't think it's worth it. I've only heard of really weak Android "viruses". I hardly see the point of antivirus for Android. As long as you stay on the Market and don't download anything that seems extremely weird I think you're ok.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] facetubespam:
I have Lookout and just have it running in the background and doing weekly scans and backups. You don't have to see it, and it doesn't even eat battery power.

For me, better to have it than not. Just in case.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] 2leaponover1:
I was at the Android BBQ Cyanogen panel and someone asked this. Straight from the Master's mouth, unless you are going crazy downloading unknown sources from China you do not need it, it's ineffective.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Honestly, I think this is a bs statement for anyone to make. Any time you connect any device to a computer you risk a virus migrating/transferring/infecting that device. Any time you download anything from the internet, no matter the source, you risk a virus. Just because it came from the Market does not mean it's clean. Similarily, just because you flash a new ROM doesn't mean any virus you had will be gone. Wiping is no guarantee unless you completely wipe everything, which nobody does.

Many years ago people did not care about, or even know about, anti-virus on their home computers.......yup, big mistake! System crashes, personal information lost, important files lost/corrupted, remote management, identity theft, etc.

There is nothing wrong with employing anti-virus on your cellphone. It's an internet/wireless/network connected device, and should be treated just like any other such device.

Personally I use Lookout Premium. I have found it works well for me, and uses next to no resources. I can't speculate on other anti-virus for phones such as AVG as I haven't used them. The best offence is a good defence.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Gutterball:
Yup Caleant is right. As a matter of fact they just recently(maybe a few months back) took down like 20 or more apps from the regular android market and some were quite popular too for being infected. I believe they were all infected with the dream virus or something like that. So that other statement that guy said about how you only need it if your installing from unknown sources or apps from china is complete BS!

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] geekygrl:
And then the same as any Linux kernel it will be succeptible to rootkits and various other security issues - how often is the Android kernel patched? (go have a look over at exploit-db...)...also there is java on top of that Linux kernel...therefore....

Another vote for using it here - I am running Bit Defender - its uses little to no resources and no battery and it is definitely better to be safe than make assumptions ;)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] WiredPirate:
+1 for Lookout, it actually has alerted me of malicious software and aborted the installation once before. Here is a good and recent example of just how easy it is for malicious apps to be downloaded from even the Android Market.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] matthew5025:
I did not use antivirus for my other phones as they either had very slow processor (backflip) or very little ram (x10) and they did slow the phone down. However, with the atrix, I do have a antivirus (lookout) and find it useful. I mean, come on, what do you lose? Also, i tried avg once, it flagged superuser as an unsafe app and told me usb debugging is a unsafe option. It was SO annoying i uninstalled it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ApexZeph:
I froze it with titanium with no negative effects so far. When I had an evo3D I had a kernel that blocked it completely from communicating with the network and even if installed again it would be unable to connect to anything. Any developers know of a way to get this done with our phones?

For all of those unaware of carrierIQ its a logging program for usage stats run by a company hired to get user stats for carriers. Its methods are extremely intrusive it can read KEYPRESS logs as well as has access to just about every scrap of data on your phone. Do a Google search. Big brother stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
it isn't in the juggernaunt rom i believe the developers already removed the process. the evo 3d has a locked boot loader. Samsung does not like i said try removing it with Titanium back up if it fails well nandroid. I'm actually looking in titanium back up myself. You can actually download the roms and open with 7zip or winrar go to system and see if its there.

Did you notice any battery performance improvement?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelus359:
Hi everyone,

This is my first post.

I have thoroughly searched forums, trying to find this information but I'm having a really hard time finding any coherent answers, and even harder time finding any actual statistics.

Initially when I got my evo4g recently, used, it's cellular standby was taking up 45% of the battery. I got juice defender ultimate, and downgraded to 1.77 from 2.15 for the PRL and NV, which dropped that 45% down to 4-10%.

I've tried both cyanogen, and synergy roms. The interface for either is both good, so it's a wash to me. I underclocked both to 128mhz idle and 768mhz regular. I also disabled

On Cyanogen I tried savaged zen kernel, and stock kernel. I have not tried tiamat. On Synergy I tried golden monkey, and aggressive freedom .9. I use smartass governor.

On synergy, I used setCPU to create a profile to on screen off, to set clock speed 128 to 384, with ondemand as the governor, while using smartass as my regular governor, with 128-768 as my stock speeds.

When I tried the savaged zen kernel, the vipermod was only able to undervolt .25mv. Any greater and it locked up. .50mv would work for a while, but then just randomly crash. I don't know the undervolt rating of golden monkey, but it is not flexible. Aggressive freedom is pretty heavily undervolted.

I'm making the assumption that my device doesn't like HAVS, given that, or savaged zen is pretty aggressive in the first place. I'm unsure.

I disabled rotation, screen brightness is set to minimum, and am still not getting acceptable battery. I'm a fairly heavy user. Currently, it says 64% of my power is my display, even though it's at minimum.

I'm still tethered to keeping a charger with me, which really sucks given that the 12v adapter in my car is dead, and I drive a lot.

Often when I'm using my device, I can drop from 45% charge to 15% charge in an hour. It's a fairly new replacement battery. I read 4200mv in rom on it. I've tried resetting my battery stats.

I don't really know what to do. As of currently, the only thing that drains more

than 10% is the display. When the display is off, and I don't touch the phone, it drains incredibly slowly. I've dropped from 100% to 58% in the last 4 hours with intermittent use, haven't made a single call, and have sent a total of 3 text messages. I've lost a full 15% of my battery watching 5 3 minute youtube videos before.

Would cyanogen, or synergy be recommended for max battery life, and given cyanogen or synergy, which kernel would be optimal for battery life, and is there anything I can do to make my minimum brightness display use less power, short of not being able to see at all?

What kind of replacement battery, and where did you buy it?

It is possible to buy a "brand new" battery that's been sitting on the shelf long enough to not be very good. I would guess there are also counterfeit batteries out there (although I do not know this for a fact). A poor quality or old battery might be causing this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelus359:
Actual HTC branded battery from sprint. I didn't have to pay for it. I still am trying to figure out why my display says it's taking up two thirds roughly on minimum brightness. I currently am on synergy with juice defender set to aggressive, with min brightness, and freedom v. 9 aggressive.

Would Cyanogen with Savaged Zen or Tiamat use less?

I may have to end up buying a bigger battery? It's often dead 10 hours after I take it off the charger.

I know nv and pri 1.90 have problems. How is 2.15? I currently have 1.77.

Sorry if I talk on circles.

Also, are the v6 supercharger script, and it's associated scripts worth looking into?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I personally think juice defender is just another parasite. You should turn on/off your radios when in/not use manually. The smartass governor is used basically has a built in screen off profile making juice defender or setcpu irrelevant. the 2.15 PRI is nice, I'm using ti with no problems.

I average 2 days on stock battery:

CM7

Tiamat 4.1 > smartassv2 governor

Vipermod: -100mv , 825mv floor

And aosp will always have better battery life than sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckoadiyn:
Right now my display is at 42% for 11 hrs and I'm on the latest radio pri nvm and prl and don't have any crazy batt drain. And iv heard decks Rom is bad ass idk guess it is what you prefer. As far as v6 you will hear and read mixed results I use it on setting 7 just cause it kills apps that won't kill forever or don't exit right

Ps +1 to juice defender never helped me and i now use system turner instead of set CPU cause it can create a script for CPU usage unlike set CPU.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovekeiiy:
I'll just piggy back off this thread. I'm need some other suggests or help. My battery is draining unusually fast lately.

This was thirty minutes of use. I was listening to Sirius NFL radio through Dolphin HD. The battery was at 90% when I disconnected it from the charger

This is twelve minutes after I stopped listening to Sirius.

I had my brightness settings to lowest possible. I work at night, so I don't need very bright.

I'm running CM7 Nightlies; currently on 11-10-11 (#250) with CM7's kernal. Set Governoer to Performance, CPU set to 245 min, 1113 max. I have the seidico 3500mha battery. I find these work well for all the video media I consume at work--Netlfix, NFL Game Pass mobile, Plex, Hulu, Sprint TV, and so on with HDMwIn. I also do some gaming with SNESoid with Sixaxias Control or Wiimote Controller. When at work, the phone is on a charger all but about thirty minutes.

I was using Tiamat 4.1 and wasn't having nearly as rapid battery drain with the same settings. I went back to the stock CM7 kernal, because Tiamat caused flash player not to work properly in either Browswer or Dolphin HD.

I've tried wiping the battery stats and draining the battery completely after flashing the updated CM7 nightlies. I just having done data wipe at this point. I haven't tried using the original 1500mha battery either. I akso turned off the back up data to google servers. The only things I have are 3g/2g raido, All other radios are off unless needed. No vibration is off except the one on boot. I do have auto sync on. I also use WP clock live wallpaper. I have all animations off.

I don't expect my battery to last to the day or days. I use to get a good eight to twelve hours with normal use--email, IM, web, phone, and light media consumption.

Any ideas?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelus359:
I installed Amon Ra's flasher instead of clockwork, then went into recovery, wiped everything 3 times over, including battery stats and dalvik cache, installed cyanogen mod, installed savaged zen kernel, installed gapps, did first bootup, and have since had better battery life, atleast for the last few hours. I've been on wifi the whole time though.

I can only undervolt 25mv on Savaged Zen, any more and it locks up. However, on the freedom kernel for sense, I used the aggressive setting, with SVS, instead of HAVS. Is tiamat SVS? If so, would I be better with a manually undervolted tiamat, instead of savaged zen?

I've read some things about evo deck having better battery life than cyanogenmod. However, I don't know which version of CM7 they based it off of, CM7, or CM7.1, and I also don't know if these claims are actually true. Can anyone confirm this?

Why is juice defender a parasite? CPU cycles? The "3%" it uses, is much less than the 35% cellular standby that I've been seeing, due to piss poor signal.
