Anyone seeing poor battery life with the latest stock ROM? Wife is complaining her battery life it terrible. Charge at night and down to 50 by lunch time with hardly any usage. I have checked for running apps and nothing but the usual apps in the back ground. Google Maps is constantly coming on after I force close it, but I notice that with my Evo 3D also. May have to just get her on a tweaked ROM and see how that goes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
seems it depends on the phone, some users say it is ok, some say it is awful, ymwv.

i'll take a look at it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] misery in motion:
Is the phone's 3G/4G and GPS left on at all times? If so then I'd say your wife's phone is experiencing typical battery life. Google Maps cannot be "killed" or closed. If you force close it, it'll just restart itself soon after. It'll run at all times unless you remove it completely.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lambofgod13:
When did you flash the rom? It takes a cpl days for kernel to settle in. You should recalibrate battery then drain till phone wont turn on and then fully recharge a cpl times during the first week. I always get bad battery untill the kernel settles in. Check to see if your having a wake issue to.

my evo is the poo!

A lot of people here seems concerned to have the latest version on their phone but it looks like it has a few bugs: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/151506-anyone-having-issues-latest-update-2-3-5-a.html

Does a fix exist?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vdubtx:
3G on only when not at home with Wifi, GPS always on. Have had the phone since launch and am well versed on the "typical battery life". The phone with the latest software was not normal battery life for what we experienced the last 1.5 years. Almost back to how bad the battery life was with the launch software and a few updates after. 4.24 was the last update I put on her phone and she could easily get a couple days use(not used a ton, mainly texting and phone calls etc.). With the update to 4.67 the phone had a hard time going a half day before needing to be charged(again, not used a ton). Full wipe, data, cache, dalvik...

Had this ROM on wife's phone for a week, maybe 10 days. From my experience, plenty of time for the kernel to settle.

No worries. I flashed her on a 4.54 ROM and yesterday seemed to be pretty good on the battery. Overnight only lost 8%.

Thanks all for the help.

i did the update to 2.3.5 not being rooted. am trying to root again and i can't . Can someone help me up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tekn010933:
Guide can be found HERE

Everyone is different, I did not want to go back to 2.2 instead just to 2.3.3, have to read the guide through. Works absolutely well with me,

Does anyone know if we have the FULL RUU yet?

I'm having the same battery problem with 4.67

and my battery life is weird! this seems to be a new development (I flashed the new rom as soon as it was posted).

The phone seems to be HOT now while it is idle. Could it be an app I unstalled or updated?

I dont really want to go back down to 4.54

Suggestions?????
[EVO 4G Android Development] misery in motion:
Sounds like a process is keeping your phone awake and the cpu is cycling processes non-stop. That's why your phone is hot, cause the CPU is ripping away at something or it's staying at a constant high frequency and not idling at all.

Could be a kernel issue..
[EVO 4G Android Development] AlvinT:
Re: Battery Issue

So ... how do I find the problem process? When I look at the Apps "running", from the Settings Manage Applications, here is what I get:

K-9 mail

Zagat

Gauge Battery Widget

Weather Bug

PVWmdrm Proxy

Maps

com.smithmicro.DM

Google services

Voicemail

swype

and my Kernel is

2.6.35.10-g4b48846 htc-kernel@and 18-2#1

Wanna suggest a kernel? ... I'm using the 4.67.651.3 CL239764 release-keys I got from this thread

(Or maybe I should be using a different ROM; I want stability and battery life most, but I like the google apps and use some of the others).

Thanks for the help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] misery in motion:
Your kernel should be fine, I don't think that's an issue now that I know which one you're using. And the processes you listed I know that PVwmdrmProxy, PVwmdrmService, Maps, com.smithmicro.DM, Google Services, Voicemail, and Swype are all standard issue and aren't to be concerned with.

A suggestion I have is downloading the app called System Tuner. In it you can view what resources are being used (both memory and cpu) by applications, processes and services. It might be able to give you a clue as to what is going on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
i've never had a problem with the phone getting hot with the stock rom during my testing. i would also try turning the phone off, leaving it off for a while and turning back on, seeing if there is a change
[EVO 4G Android Development] AlvinT:
Battery issue

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, especially regarding the existence of the System Tuner app.

I decided it would be easier to wipe stuff, reinstall / reflash the ROM, and put back all my apps with mybackup pro. And voila .. whatever the problem was, it's gone now.

There was other weirdness... sometimes the phone would just reboot itself, while it was on a desk; and sometimes after a pulled battery the reboot process would go into a loop and I had to wipe the dalvik cache to get it started... I wonder what that was about. Maybe a tiny gremlin.

So onward, until the next problem. Might look at the barebones rom of MIM... I remove as much of the sprint bloatware as I can, along with footprints, twitter, blockbuster... and I might even try deodexed this time :)

Cheers to all
[EVO 4G Android Development] misery in motion:
Glad to hear things cleared up.

Only go with deodex if you plan to theme and/or apply mods. Odex is better for speed/performance/smoothness etc..
[EVO 4G Android Development] AlvinT:
4.67.651.3 rooted roms

OK, then I will stick with the odexed.

Question: what is the difference between your bare bones rom and Brad560's? Looks like when I flashed the former I got the same software data in "about phone", kernel and all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] misery in motion:
We use the same base rom and kernel. It's the changes we make to the base rom that makes them different. The same goes for just about any Sense 1.0 rom out right now.

Whats the latest rootable stock RUU?

Im thining of unrooting and then rerooting my evo... been having reboot issues with the last 4 roms ive tried... and yes, ive redownloaded it many times...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mk2munky:
You might be able to get by with this ROM. Otherwise, wouldn't the latest RUU do it for you? The only thing is, this ROM is rooted stock, essentially. I'd got with the deodex version, just given your scenario; although by the same token, it probably doesn't much matter. Also, if you do the RUU route, you will not currently be able to root then, should you NOT be given a replacement (no software as far as I know of can root 4.67 currently).

I'm not up on this, but I'd think anything prior to 4.67??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nagrom Nniuq:
If you are S-OFF, it's fine to run any RUU, as you can always revert to whatever you want.

As far as your issue goes, it shouldn't be related to root at all. More likely an app that you have that's unstable, or you haven't done a clean install of the stock ROM.

So I rooted a friend's evo about a year ago and it is running:

So I personally use CM7 nightlies for my phone, but my dad uses Bluetooth and that doesn't work well with CM7 for whatever reason and I'm thinking of reverting his phone to a stock-rooted ROM. But from what I read, I'll have to install a Hotspot Mod/Hack to get free hotspot? That means I need to use the deodexed version, right?

And a quick side-question, what is CRT Animations?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Digitalkarma:
this information is probably not relevant anymore, but there is a workaround to deodexing those 3 apks. i don't know why i felt tempted to type 'ignore' after it wouldn't deodex but..i did and it deodexed those apks. just go to deodex single file and type 'ignore'. when i cooked and flashed the rom, those apps worked like normal.

so there ya go, a quick alternative instead of fetching the apk's from the market, but its probably better to update them anyway..

reported this over in Misery's thread- Smith.apk is related to some sort of HTC logging, it is safe to remove.

[EVO 4G Android Development] misery in motion:
Updating your HBoot will not mess with your S-OFF NAND security setting. I also obtained S-OFF on an old HBoot (when it was current) using unrevoked and have since then been updating my HBoot as releases have become available. I've not ever lost S-OFF or had any problems. I'm currently on HBoot 2.18, the latest just released.

In fact I accepted the latest OTA letting it update all the radios etc. When it was done I reflashed my custom recovery (RA-supersonic-v2.3) and viola, good to go. I've had no trouble flashing ROMs, including my own that I just released with the new OTA base 4.67.651.3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:

What are the chances of getting the new kernel in flashable zip? Or does anyone know where I can get it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmolavi:
Is this the same as an update.zip (sorry, still somewhat new to the whole ROM flashing thing, only done it a few times). If so, does it maintain s-off and root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
yes it is, same thing. i know it maintains s off, root, i have not attempted it root yet. still testing..
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmolavi:
Thanks. I recall the last OTA someone (I think it was you) released a rooted update.zip...made the process a lot easier as no re-rooting was required. I'm not averse to doing it again, but if it can be avoided, I'm all for it :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deejaydark:
Wait a minute... So the deodexed rom won't be rooted & if I flash it I won't have root... So what I'm getting at is that this rom will be as if I got it brand new from store just with a new update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
if my memory serves me right, the actual update.zip was not rooted, it came straight out of the phone, as far as re rooting this may be the case after flashing an ota onto a rooted device.

as with any ota, read up on the posts here and in general, see what other users are using, and the general rule of your favorite rom developers will eventually incorporate the update into his/her rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmolavi:
It was you :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319881
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
to clear up confusion:

the ODEX and DEODEXED versions of the rom are rooted.

the UPDATE zip file comes straight from the /cache folder on your phone after it is downloaded. it is not rooted. all this will do is update you to the latest build, and as in some cases you may lose root?

yes flashing this rom will have you up to date, maybe even better than the store as they still might be on 4.54
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
yes, meaning the whole rom, i thought you meant just the update.zip file, my bad..

all dev's will use either the ota file or a stock rom as a base for their updated 4.67 rom's might take a few days, or whenever the dev's schedule makes time.
