Thanks! I agree with everything you said :D

You have the same usage pattern I do minus the Social network things and that is what I see. Here is my general battery results and thoughts...

The kernel does seem to be tuned to only run with the 3.7. Your post stated and proved the same. Also, I envy you because you have TWO to work with that were different, lol But seriously thanks for taking the time to troubleshoot. This is the most definitive and clearly stated set of results I have seen. I am now done racking my brain about the battery concerns, lol. We now have proof.

Overall bugs are minimal. There are about a 1,000 people using this ROM. If you take the number of nuances and other one off situations the ratio is less than a couple percent. You rarely here the people that enjoy the ROM and dont have any issues.

Going forward I am sure when HTC releases the final product and we get our hands on it we are going to be really impressed. Thats when the real fun will begin, lol I cant wait!
[HTC Rezound] tprime76:
It will be interesting to see what is done with the Kernals, more than anything else, when HTC releases ICS on the Rezound. The ROMs will be the creative part with each dev in terms of cleaning up what junk VZ loads up and their own styling, but the kernal is the most interesting part for me since the carrier usually leaves that part alone and you really get the chance to see what the mfg wanted.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yes I agree...
[HTC Rezound] shermanpat:
I might be blind but where has the option to allow non-market apps to install been moved to?

I am still running 2.1 there are a few bugs but overall stable enough for daily use. Just have to get enough down time from work to feel like flashing 2.2 or what ever maybe be out when I get said time.

Thanks as always.
[HTC Rezound] WhotahnHTC:
The non market app option has moved but for some reason it is not present for some until after trying to install a non market app, when they are directed to the setting. It was talked about earlier in the thread somewhere. Try installing a non market app (not by TiBU but by using a File Explore program). You should be told that it is a no no and then taken to where you can change that in settings........which like I said seems to not be there until you try to install a non market app. If you have been flashed and running the ROM you are on you may want to do a clean flash for this to take. I''ll try to find the discussion from before.

***EDIT**** Here is part of the earlier discussion. You can look before and after this post to get the whole discussion. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21843559&postcount=995
[HTC Rezound] shermanpat:
Thanks!

Yeah I have been using ES File Explorer and when I get the prompt I click setting and its not there have tried a few times with a reboot too. Guess that gives me more of a reason to move to 2.2.
[HTC Rezound] Andro X:
I love this Rom but its rocking my battery. I have the regular stock battery. Every other Rom I get 3 to 4 hours on screen time but I'm at about 1 hour and 15 minutes right now with 20 percent. I dont have any new apps or anything. I barely have any apps actually so idk what's causing it. I've been running all your ics roms and haven't had this problem until this one. Idk I just figured I'd report it though. Thanks for you work on these roms.

[HTC Rezound] brockeverly:
I love this ROM (2.2), but found a few issues (at least with my phone).

9/10 times, a long hold on the power button and hitting power off will not work. After hitting power off, everything shuts down but the status bar. It will sit with the status bar on until you battery pull.

Verizon MHS no longer working. Says error every time I try it, this worked the first couple days then just stopped. *edit* restored previous backup with ti and its working again, not sure what changed

Taking a photo now does not allow the photo to save and causes the camera app to crash. The photo is shown on the screen until you hit home, then when you attempt to open the camera the screen goes black. If you close the task with the built in task manager and try to open the camera it will just go back to the home screen after a few seconds. This also worked up until today. *edit* restored previous backup with ti and its working again, not sure what changed
[HTC Rezound] WhotahnHTC:
Yep, not the first one that has had that issue. A new fresh flash should get ya fixed up.
[HTC Rezound] SHIDOOBY:
So i tried to install this rom; After doing everything correctly with a factory reset and flashing the rom it sat at the HTC screen for about 10 minutes. I realized something was wrong and wanted to fix it. I then pulled the battery and held the volume down and power button to go into recovery.. it booted into the hboot and before I could press the volume down to go into "recovery" it's running the hboot and asking me to "start update" and then restart my phone creating a vicious cycle of nothing.

---

The reason I wanted to get into recovery was to use a backup I have created for this situation and I can't ****ing access it.. IM FREAKING OUT!!
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
You need to delete the PH98IMG from your SD card. Take it out of your phone if you can't plug the phone into your computer. Delete that file and you'll be good.
[HTC Rezound] SHIDOOBY:
resolved my own issue.. I had to use my own card and access my sd card.

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

yeah, that's what I did haha.. thanks for the heads up but i had to figure it out. I've never had to do a restore before, it's sitting here saying "checking md5 sums..." About how long does this take?
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
No problem. It's checking the md5 during a restore? Not sure how long that would take. What recovery are you using? I don't remember ever seeing it check for md5 on AmonRa.
[HTC Rezound] answerman:
Hey Scott... 2.2.1 has been 99.9% flawless so far. Getting about 35 hours out of the stock battery, same as GB for me (I'm admittedly a light user, but that's with no WiFi, 4G on all the time, Bluetooth on all the time).

Only one quirk I've noticed that hasn't been reported yet, and it may be more of an ICS issue in general. Still thought I'd report it just in case anyone can replicate it.

I use Handcent SMS. When I get a text, and it comes up on the lockscreen, it turns the screen on (like it's supposed to) but it's frozen. I can't unlock the screen or dismiss the SMS unless I turn the screen off and then back on. Minor inconvenience, but I assume you want to know these things.

Like I said, it may be a Handcent incompatibility with ICS or at least the ICS/Sense combination. Not a deal breaker by any means. Otherwise, this ROM is my daily driver, nothing bad to report!
[HTC Rezound] SHIDOOBY:
I use CW .. It's always worked great with me and I haven't had any issues thus far.

It's been doing this for about 10 minutes (this is exactly what my phone reads)

CWM-Based Recovery v5.5.0.4

Checking MD4 Sums...

Erasing boot before restore...

Restoring boot image...

Restoring system...

svlogd

it's been at that screen for about 7 minutes (I don't know what svlogd is) but I think i'm just going to wait here and pray it works.
[HTC Rezound] wstcoaster07:
Battery

I have the 3.7v battery and mine will last ~10hrs. I don't have the best signal strength so I assume that is why, but here is my info anyway...

I am at 10hrs right now looking at 10% remaining w/20min voice, 40m display (low brightness), wifi off most of the day, 3G area (kicks in to 1X with poor signal). Also, about 1hr of that was music through my speakers at work (screen off nearly the whole time). Of note, at least 2-3 of those hours I was in airplane mode (to help salvage the battery drain from my poor signal reception)

Not sure why it is so low, but just in case I ordered a new standard battery through Verizon and should get it in a couple days. I did do a full data wipe (actually 3 "all data" wipes in recovery just to be sure). Don't get me wrong, I love the ROM and will continue to use it... just wish I was seeing even half of the performance on my battery some of you are haha. I blame most of it on my poor signal.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Make sure you flash approprite boot.img.

I hope these little issues all get worked out by HTC in final release. If so I think we will have a pretty decent ICS ROM. But yeah, odd stuff like this can be one of two things at this point...

1. Incompatibility with the Newer OS

2. The OS still needs some work

Its near impossible for us to know with 100% certainty on this beta leak.
[HTC Rezound] SHIDOOBY:
Scott I'm curious, can I go from this straight to the GBE New OTA you have?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
If you dont mind can you answer this for my own knowledge? I generally get great signal everywhere so I get good battery which makes this somewhat difficult to troubleshoot all the time. It never dawns on me that signal could also be at play because i take good signal for granted.

How bad is the signal and did GB ROMS drain at the same rate with the matching signal strength?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
yeah, but just remember that if you want to flash back dont use the PH98IMG.zip method to flash boot.img. This is what the ROM defaults to so if you go that route it will change your mainver to the 2.x update. When you to to PH98IMG this ROM you will get a mainver error because this ROM was created with the mainver from the 1.x series ROMS.

When I get back from vacation I plan to do a mild update for this ROM. I will also update the mainver to 2.x as well so they will be at the same mainver and flashing back and forth will be easy again.
[HTC Rezound] answerman:
Oh right, and I wasn't complaining at all. Just figured you'd want to know to add it to the "bug list" if it can even be classified as a bug.
[HTC Rezound] gunz.jones:
3.8 battery and subpar battery life just sleeping. Down to 40 after mostly sleeping and texting or less. Percent a minute with screen on. Getting extended soon probably. But love the new taskbar and no systemic crash like from senseless. Can't wait for working also like Rom. Still not getting blue flash with set-cpu set above 700. Kills battery faster in clean Rom though than senseless. Just tired of fixing wallpaper. 2d rendering also caused glitches on some apps and games I play like ninjump and few others. Good work though sir. I am pleased even though I need charger at work.

[HTC Rezound] wstcoaster07:
On the GB ROMS I used to get around 15 hours or so (upwards of 18 if I did a lot of airplane mode that day). As for the signal, I will take more looks at exact signal strength today while at work and let you know. I can tell you that under the battery stats graphical depiction along the bottom i barely ever see the "signal" section as green, it is usually yellow (signaling weak reception correct?) The only time I did see green on that depiction was when I was home for the holidays in Orange County where I had great signal all day.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yeah, it sounds like the 3.8V battery bug is plaguing you. Im sure HTC is looking at this right now and learning from what we find with the leak, lol

Yeah, if your going to 1X...Thats pretty much telling me what I needed to know. That poor level of reception will kill a battery.

I wonder if updating your radio to the latest radio would help? Its hard to say though.
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
I live in an area with

great

reception and I never see more than 16 hours of battery under what I consider medium-well usage (like on the heavier side of medium). I try to keep the screen off as much as possible and set the time-out really low.

Whether it was my Droid 1 on Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread, SetCPU with all the profiles set as balanced as possible, undervolted

or the Rezound, stock and debloated, it' still 15-16 hours for both devices with all those variables.

Actually, I need Juice Defender Plus helping out on the Rezound to get that 15-16 hours a day.
[HTC Rezound] RagManX:
Finally installed this today. Getting about the same Antutu without overclocking the CPU that I did with CleanROM 1.5 overclocked to 1.7 MHz. Only thing I don't like so far in ICS is that every app I install gets automagically put on one of my home screens. Haven't found how to disable that yet, but I'm still looking. Runs super smooth, for sure. Thanks again, scrosler!
[HTC Rezound] JohnShaft69:
in market goto settings and disable that "FEATURE" there. easy peasy
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It's in market settings
[HTC Rezound] dbutters:
Unknown Sources?

I saw a few people talking about this several pages back; I have the issue where the option to install unknown sources doesn't show up in settings>security, but mine isn't even appearing when I try to install a dled app. Any thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] wstcoaster07:
Battery update

Alright so checked the battery a little more today and I am looking at an average signal strength of between -90 & -95 db for my network strength. After after about 3 hours of use I was already down to 65% (30 min of that was actually a phone call though w/screen generally off) As stated before, I don't believe it is in anyway related to the ROM and still plan on continuing to use the ROM.

I may try updated the radio but I think I will give it another week to see how ROMS/leaks develop. The phone gets me through a full day so for now I am going to try and stop re-flashing every other day haha.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
1. For the power off issues, make sure that fastboot is off. I had the same problem before unchecking it. Also, it can take about 30 seconds for the phone to shut off, so give it time.

2. No problems with photos here. Did you remove or freeze any apks? Might have killed something accidentally.

Cool. I can wait. Didn't even realize there was a new radio in the update. This is the headache we have not having a true S-OFF...

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

Just realized I hadn't donated yet.

Problem solved:

63A00015PH782161R

As far as the ROM goes, its been pretty rock solid considering its based on a leaked stock ROM.

I have had a couple of full screen blue flashes (fixed by turning the screen off and then back on. I've had one BSOD requiring battery pull. And just in the last day I've been getting this pwrcruise something or another has stopped responding pop ups. Has anyone seen it?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Thanks for solving that problem :D
[HTC Rezound] RagManX:
Thank you both. I was looking in the phone settings, assuming it was a feature of ICS. Didn't even think to check the market settings. Man, I feel dense sometimes. Only about 200 more apps to install so my phone is back where I had it this morning before updating. The smoothness of the upgrade makes it all worth it, though.
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
Same here.

Sent from my Rezound running CleanROM 2.2 Sp1.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I noticed its hit or mess.The difference must be the steps we are taking when we try to activate that feature. Here is what I do and it seems to have worked everytime.

0. Do not go to set up after phone boots for the first time.

1. Launch ES File Explorer and try to install an app. You should then be directed to the settings page and the option should be there.

I think the key is not going to settings when the ROM boots for first time. Go right to ES File explorer and try to install.

Thats the only theory I have come up with now.
[HTC Rezound] jeph0r3:
So is there any way to get this feature back on the phone? I have a few apps I need to install but can't because I can't find where to check Unknown Sources..
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
As far as I know you cannot get it back unless you hard reset.
[HTC Rezound] Argent36:
Ok - I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious here - but anyone else use GOSMS and not have contact pictures showing up? if I go in to People - the contact images are all there but they just aren't showing in GOSMS

I've tried wiping/reinstalling it etc

-everything works well except for Verizon mobile hotspot..security features dont work but it will work unsecured...

-also how is the OP and everyone else scoring above 6000 and the OP post shows 6500 and im getting the same speeds i did on gingerbread around 5500?? how is this?
[HTC Rezound] Argent36:
Thanks! that fixed it!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I'll take a Look at hot spot when I get home
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
cool no problem..how are you scoring so high in antutu when im still getting gingerbread scores??
[HTC Rezound] mykpfsu:
This is possibly a really stupid question, are you using the stock SD card? Just trying to think what one phone would have different. Mine was 6501.
[HTC Rezound] JohnShaft69:
thats a good point. ill re-run antutu after i ge tmy shiny new sandisk 64gbmicro sdxc card (class 6) tomorrow!
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
yeah stock sdcard..does it really matter?
[HTC Rezound] answerman:
Not sure what you mean about the mobile hotspot... using it right now to post this from my laptop, and I have it set up as WPA2 encrypted password. No problems with it at all.
[HTC Rezound] brockeverly:
Yes it does if the class is different, that will adjust the allowable read/write speed which will effect your score.

Try to restore a backup of MHS, mine stopped working as well and this fixed it. Not sure why as nothing had changed with it, but it worked. Used it all day today.
[HTC Rezound] mdisbrow:
Not sure if it has been noted or not, but I have a bluetooth headset that has a problem reconnecting after I shut it off the first time. The only way to remedy this is to unpair them and restart the phone.

Got extended battery. Much better. Half price plus my company discount. Yayyy. And a car mount. Happiness. Still an awesome Rom. Waiting for HTC our you on the next set of awesomeness to be setup.
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
Yup. People have been experiencing this. Including myself.
[HTC Rezound] gunz.jones:
Synch icon on constantly. Is it my hotmail, yahoo and Gmail, or just a bug?
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
well now im scoring between 5900 and 6500 in antutu and quadrant throws out anything from 2000 to 2500 but i de-sensed the rom and downloaded an app from the market that speeds up the sdcard write/read speed..dont know if those two things help or maybe it just needed time to settle...regardless sense less is better to me.

EDIT: i did do a restore of mobile hotspot and it still doesnt work...i went into titanium backup and wiped mobile hotspot data then flashed the backup and that didnt work..i also deleted hotspot then flashed backup and that didnt work either.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Open settings sync and see which one is running
[HTC Rezound] answerman:
Apologies for a potentially dumb question, but... you're paying for the MHS service from Verizon, right? Trying to correlate your experience with mine... yes, I'm paying for it, and it's been working just fine for me. Just making sure you're not talking about Wireless Tether or something else.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

So far I haven't seen this issue, mine's had no problem staying paired. It's just a cheap $25 single ear headset for calling on, not listening to music or anything.

Not trying to sound like Scott's biggest fan here, honest... but I'm not seeing any of the issues that a lot of you are, which usually points to something being different about your specific setup. Could be related to conflicts with apps you have installed, multiple profiles, etc. That's the biggest reason some things work for some people and not for others.
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
no problem..and yeah im paying for verizon mobile hotspot and on every ICS rom it never works for me..not even with the backup through titanium backup.
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
I always do a clean wipe before flashing. BT still acts up on a fresh flash. Dunno. Maybe its the motorokr s305's. Same effect when tethering via BT to my laptop.

[HTC Rezound] answerman:
The one thing that may be different, I just realized, in relation to Mobile Hotspot working for me: I'm an Alltel refugee, assimilated into Verizon a couple of years ago. I still have my Alltel unlimited data plan. I wonder if that might have anything to do with it.
[HTC Rezound] gunz.jones:
Ruued to new boot and radio. Fixed android_info and back in business. Better reception. Synch icon finally disappeared. Getting set back up now. Thanks for your awesomeness. Can't stay away.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
When I do my benchmark testing I use the Internal SD card because I think that we would all get about the same results with that. Using an External SD card could really help you or really hurt you depending on the quality of the SD card. So as a control point I use the internal. I think everyone should do that just to level the playing field. I could easily go by a Class 10 and walk by even my best scores, lol

Also, I think Antutu should take out SD Card scoring. Its too lame!

Does the extended life battery require a different back cover?

Nah, I dont think thats a bug. Like NilsP said, look in your synch settings and see if something is just synching over and over.

Wow, whenever I say what you just said people think I am a prick. I wont say much else other than I agree with you 100% I could go into a whole lecture of why some people see bugs and others dont but it would be a dissertation and not a short answer...

I have not had a chance to look yet... I had to do some battery testing. Maybe later tonight I can test. Got a new Samsung Galaxy Tablet thanks to a very generous donator (sold it to me for $50). Its like new and has a few accessories. Stupid crazy deal to pass up. But anyways... You know what means :)

You like the new Radio better huh? No differences to me but I always get good reception.

-Scott
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Scott, are you talking about the extended for the Rez? If so, yes, it does require a different back cover.

As for Antutu, I almost caught your score. I hit 6576 last time. And that is a crazy deal for a Galaxy Tab. Is it a 10 or 7 inch?? And I haven't been able to put down my Prime since it came in the mail. This thing is constantly in my hands. :D

I'm running bored's RezROM ICS right now and it's pretty nice. It's so much like your ROM, just with some theme stuff, that it's too hard to decide between the two. Both of you guys do amazing work!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Its a 7"

The reason boreds ROM looks very similar to my ROM is we worked together on the base then split ways when we had everything working. He likes themed ROMS, I like CleanROM's... hehehe...
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
That's a damn good tab. Have fun with it! :D

And I know you guys worked together to get it all working. I watched the night it leaked when you guys where all working together to get it stable. My phone mood changes so much that I have to jump back and forth between your two roms. They're my favs so far. I just can't wait until HTC actually releases ICS so we can get rid of that damn blue flicker. :mad:

Can't wait to see what you guys come up with next :D
[HTC Rezound] Argent36:
Anyone figure out why this option dissapeared? Was trying to install the new experimental dropbox app but can't because Unknown Sources isn't checked (and not there)
