take a peek a few pages back.....i ported over the 1.7 OC kernel and using your suggestion, fixed wifi.

while everything works and it allows you to overclock, i didnt see that much of an improvement in battery life.

i dont know where to begin really. i agree that battery types, apps, usage, etc all have an impact on battery, but on 3.1.5 i would get 20 hours easy. on 3.6 with the same kernel i get maybe 8 with an identical set of variables.

i understand disabling a bunch of features like 4G, haptic feedback, email/social app syncing would improve my battery life, i dont feel like i should have to limit my phone just to be able to use it.

thats like driving my mach 1 down to get my mail...

frankly scott i am amazed at what a great rom you put out with really nothing to work with.
[HTC Rezound] dmoses1969:
I know it's been posted several times including once myself. I have tried everything to use a custom wallpaper on the lockscreen but it never changes. Says it does but really it doesn't.

Just tried wiping Data,Cache,Dalvik 5 times using latest AmonRA for the Rezound and reflashing starting from scratch. Didn't restore anything, tried adding custom wallpaper again and still no go.

Any ideas.

uhh yeah, stop wasting your time :p. its more than likely broken in this unofficial leaked ICS build

or get widget locker. there is a sense 3.5 lock screen skin and it will allow custom wallpaper

or be the first to figure out how to decode sense 3.5 M10 files and change the wall paper in fusion.apk

why on earth would you want to do that? :eek: thats like the best feature of ICS and you can swipe from left to right to close the windows

[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
heres my question..this may be my first 4.0 rom i flash, and i see the bluetooth fix for louder speaker, etc.

my question is, is this just for audio streaming, like music, etc? if i flash Nils' file, can i still use a bluetooth for in call?
[HTC Rezound] DbZ Gokuu:
Oh I thought you meant go launcher its self, not the long press home option. I'm not sure about that then. I know some launchers can customize what happens when you touch the home button. But I'm not sure about go launcher

[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Yes. To get bluetooth streaming, somehow it lower the volume of the speakerphone.

If you flash the fix, bluetooth streaming is broken, the speakerphone is louder, and you can still use bluetooth for calls, but not voice dialing.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I believe JoelZ9614 released another audio fix for BAMF .9 that fixed the speakerphone volume while retaining BT streaming, anyone try it with this rom?

I have the 3.7v battery, no heat issues, and excellent battery life on this rom. My only issue is that the send/receive frequency of my exchange account randomly resets to every 15 min instead of push.

Extremely stable and smooth rom. Thank you for the hard work.
[HTC Rezound] jskolm:
This fixed the speakerphone volume for me, but I can't test the Bluetooth streaming as I don't have a device to test it with.

I think mine is actually getting better as time goes on. I use facebook, I've played some games today for about 45mins, I mean check this out:

There has got to be something different or wrong with some of youz guyz'. I'd really be curious to know if after a new complete wipe/flash, don't try to screw with it with any of these cpu tweaking programs and let it settle after it's initial sync and see if it is as good as this. Then, start installing some of those apps and see if you can figure out if one/some of them are causing it.

[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
Any huge advantages to upgrading from gb yet?
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Asking for someone to give you a subjective apples-to-apples comparison in battery life is an

exercise in futility and frustration!

2 years of smartphone ownership have taught me this! :D

With the OEM battery, I can make my Rezound last anywhere from 4 hours to 12 hours. On my extended, I'm averaging about a full day + a night of sleep.

With Juice Defender Plus, I can push the OEM to around 16-18. But that's not actually using it, that's just keeping it alive. On the extended, the longest I've pushed it was 41 hours and I was at like 25% battery, so I definitely could have hit 50 hours. Again, this was with Juice Defender Plus. Best $2 I ever spent in the Market. But that was during the 10 cent promotion Google had. I may drop the ~$5 to get the Juice Defender Ultimate upgrade, for even more battery savings.

So as you can see, asking people about their battery life is a pretty horrible way to gauge your own. Bottom line: the longer the screen is ON and the more you use 4G, the faster your battery will drain.

Also, the Rezound will drop the first few percentage points pretty quickly, no matter what ROM. It seems to just be the way the device behaves. Scott is also aware of this behavior so I'm assuming that's normal... Maybe someone should put this in the OP of the thread "Rezound Issues List". I've also posted a picture in that thread of VERY strange charging behavior of the Rezound (strange to ME anyway).

Here is what the OEM battery does when you leave it plugged in after it has hit full charge:

As you can see, it fluctuates. Perhaps that is something built in to protect the battery. I hope so.

Of course, I'm not saying kernels can't have problems. But Scott definitely would have caught it by now. And my argument still stands, even if it turns out there's a problem with a kernel. One person's idea of "medium" usage could be, I mean WILL be, completely different from yours.

EDIT: And I should state that this is with no changes to CPU clocking or voltages. As it should be very clear to all of you by now, there is nothing that can reliably control those elements yet. Kernel source for HTC ICS ROMs is not available yet. So stop bothering with kernels. Use stock. LOL

EDIT 2: And I have

awesome

4G in my area.

At work: avg 20-35 / 11-15 Mbps

At home: avg 6-9 / 5-7 Mbps
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Ok, after reading all the posts and the interactions, my personal observations, observations of those around me, etc etc etc... Observations of other ROM dev threads...

I think its a mix of the kernel, applications, possibly signal strength, and hardware variances.

What I dont think it causing this? Anything I did or any other developer did to the ROM to tweak, tune, or otherwise optimize it. As a matter of fact I did not do any optimizations on this ROM at all. Its almost bone stock except for some read ahead tweaks for the file system and ZIP align on boot. So... To eliminate that... I need someone to go into /system/etc/init.d/ and delete whatever tweak file is in there. Pull your batter, replace it, charge to green and test it.

If someone can do that I can quickly elimnate any error that I made. But honstly I am pretty damn sure its the OS / kernel / or something in the applications people are using that are simply NOT friendly with this build.

So someone with bad battery go delete that file and report back asap. I have another build I need to complete and dont want to make any knee jerk reactions.

[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Look at how little Scott has his screen on. Look at the inversely proportional battery life he has. ;)
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yeah, if you notice the people with battery issues. The phone never sleeps. Henc phone gets hot. Thats why I am asking people to use programs to see what is keeping it awake.

You are 100% correct in everything in your post. Let me expand even further for you...

The perceived issue that the battery drops percent real fast for the first few minutes is actually a a fallacy. And you even proved it with your own screenshot. Let me explain... (And I wil not put this in my OP, lol)

The reason you see the battery go up and down a few percent points while it hits 100% is because, like you said, is a battery protection and designed to do this by HTC. Once you hit 100% the green light triggers and battery immediately starts to discharge. Then once it gets to a predefined point it will start to charge again... Un til it hits 100... then back down... then back up... your graphic illustrates that perfectly for me.

So what the user sees is green light = 100% but when I pull it off the charge its already at 94% (or whatever) but thats because it really is at 94% and was only at 100% for a very brief time in the charge cycle.

Why do you thyink HTC does not use 1% increments in there battery or even post a specific number, yet instead they use a 20% increment? lol

They mask the issue so you never even see it on a stock ROM and will only see it on a custom ROM.

I can mask the issue too... And you will see 10% increments therefor your battery will stay at 100% for the first hour or so then drop to 90 then 80 then ....... BUt I like 1% better.

Hope that clarifies it for you?
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
That is not medium to light usage. That blue bar (as another poster) indicates the phone is wasting cycles on something or the display is on. And look how often that is. I'm willing to bet a Rezound with OEM battery with the displays on 100% of the time will probably only survive 2-3.5 hours (depending on everything else). But just screen on by itself? All radios off, no apps... Probably 2-3 hours. So for every minute you've got the display on, you can chop even more minutes off the idle time.

Clearly, this is not the case, based on your screenshot. If you have just the basic version of JD, change your profile off of balanced to a more aggressive profile. OR, change the schedule, if you can. Change the schedule to 30 minutes if you can. You might have to buy JD Plus though. With JD plus, I have data set to a 30 minute schedule for 2 minutes. I have a lot of other customizations too, but you can PM for my settings if you get JD Plus. You can see the options before buying, you just can't set any of them.

LOL no I meant someone needs to stick it in another thread, in the General section. Thread is called "Rezound issues". Because people seem to be flooding this thread with more general issues than that one. That must be because of your stellar support :D
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
eek. I didn't think of it that way. I was just trying to help provide info and thoughts to the issue to help make this Rom as enjoyable for everyone else as it is for me. :) :cool:
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Once again, you are 100% correct in your statements. Thanks for taking the time to point that stuff out. I dont hthink people understand how to read those charts. The only know that the declin in the graphs is "bad"

I agree about another thread but for the time being lets continue to compile info in this thread so I can do more analysis of data. I need as much data as possible to be able to come to a final conclusion and I already have too many threads to watch. Keep posting data and thoughts here.

I know how to weed out what is accurate and what is conjecture :p

(And I thought people posted in my thread because of my good looks! Now I find out its because of my support, lol)

See above, keep the data flowing.... OPnce I have enough info I will make a final statement on why we see vairances....

At this point... and I beleive to be full true.... The apps people are using are not tuned for the kernel / os. UNtil someone can prove me wrong then... That is my answer. As I stated and proved, as well as many others, battery life is good on this ROM with the programs I / they run. Therefor it leads me to believe it has to be an apps issue.

Or............. Or............

An issue where HTC tried to fix the 3.8v issue and they borked another function that does not affect some of us....

[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
Yea I see it on my phone all the time the light will be green but it will sometimes show 98 or 99 and then back to 100% I figured it was a safety for the battery.

Just wanted to report with Joel's latest fix, reconnected BT four times on my way home without issue and my speakerphone sounds good
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Right on, will do.

The bolded part is what I was kind of getting at earlier. If it was Rom/Kernel related then we would ALL be having this problem - just kind of how programs work. A=A and B=B - until you throw in C. lol That is why I suggested that someone with the problem re-wipe and re-flash everything and stop running these battery monitors and cpu tweakers, etc. Just bare minimums. If battery life is way better, then we know it is app related. Process of elimination.

And yes - I'm a software support tech by profession. I do this all day long for our software. :D
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Direct Link?

I agree with you about all the CPU apps, etc. Who says they are accurate to being with? Im sure this is 3rd party software and a combination of kernel changes. Im positive at this point.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Since setting down the governor to conservative, I am running 15 to 20 degrees cooler. And today was about 15 degrees warmer for ambient temperature. Battery life is significantly improved. I have been using it just about the same about of time as any other day.

Wifi enabled and used it for maybe an hour total today for surfing the web, checking email, and looking at stuff on the xda app.

Took it off the charger at 7 am this morning and now at 4:30 PST I have 63% with the extended battery.

Just One lib, :) can confirm BT streaming still works, but i use BT almost exclusively so i have not noticed speaker volume decrease or increase :p

Can I flash over what I have or do I need to revert the entire lib and and etc folder?
[HTC Rezound] kraamerica:
I was also going to confirm this as I just got home. I am using a Jabra Freeway and I was able to make/take calls on this visor bluetooth device as well as stream audio. I did notice a difference in the phone's speaker volume as better (I can't speak to significantly) as I came from a Droid Bionic that had a very massive speaker volume, but it is defintely better than what it was.

Giddyup.

[HTC Rezound] rsage:
Not to be a contrarian :) but I'm convinced it's all kernel related at this point, not kernel + 3rd party apps (well, 3rd party apps could make it worse I suppose, but I believe the primary issue is with the kernel). Summary of my experiences:

1 - I am experiencing a much higher degree/faster battery drain than any GB ROM I've ever used. I've tried to duplicate my GB setup as much as possible on this ROM in terms of de-bloat, etc. I know it's still not apples-to-apples

2 - I experienced this battery drain immediately after flashing the ROM (and I did reset/wipe/flash kernel per OP instructions), and continue to experience it. The first couple days I was basically running this ROM stock (i.e. few if any 3rd party apps installed, and those that were installed weren't running in the background)

3 - My phone *is* sleeping appropriately

4 - My phone has *never* gotten exceptionally hot (though I don't really play games or anything that would normally tax the CPU/GPU)

5 - I only installed 3rd party CPU monitor apps after I had been experiencing the rapid battery drain for a couple days, and they all basically say the same thing. I didn't know that the accuracy of these apps was in question, all I can say is that the data presented by these apps seems to explain the performance I was already seeing

AND... I can replicate the battery performance of *both* those with good battery performance *and* those with bad battery performance:

6 - If I use my phone "lightly", I still can get very good battery performance, similar to what I was seeing on GB ROMs, which seems to match up with some of the screenshots of good battery life in this thread (most of those screenshots show very light usage)

7 - If I use my phone medium-to-heavy, I get insanely rapid battery drain. I'm talking 2-3x faster drain than on GB ROMs, which seems to match up with some of the screen shots of bad battery life in this thread

Summary (and I could be totally wrong): the battery is fine for me when the screen is off, it's what I've come to expect. When the screen is on though (even for something as simple as texting, emailing, surfing, etc.), this kernel kills battery faster than any I've seen. I do think it's possible that some users also have 3rd party apps installed which are keeping the phone from sleeping, which of course makes matters even worse.

I think this ROM is awesome Scott and I will continue to use it - thanks for putting this together for the community. I personally don't think these issues have anything to do with the ROM.
[HTC Rezound] nolimit78:
I have ran a freshly flashed Tim with nothing installed. Left it alone for 30min and checking every ten minutes and temps were at 120. But it's not this roms fault. It's ICS(new build)+ ota but not 100%. I feel this needs it's own separate thread to troubleshoot. Stop cluttering up this thread. :)

[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I think these are great observations and I will add them to my notes but...

Edited: I read what you said wrong and agree about 3rd party apps making it worse.

Your observations also confirmed a suspicion that I had... I am also convinced we have two completely separate issues. A heat issue and battery issue. And I also thought right away they may not be related. Your ntoes seem to indicate my theory.

Keep 'em coming...

At this point I am pretty sure there is nothing I can do to fix this except sit and wait for new leak... But so far I am extermeley happy wiht this build.

Also, I am hesistant to say this btu I think its a minority having these problems. Think about it like this....

1500 downloads in 3 days. Of that the frist 1,000 were in about 36 hours or so. maybe 20 people with the issue. Mathematically that puts us at about 1.3% of people reporting any type of issue like this.

I know those are not hard statistics because it does not account for those that... 1. Download the RMO more than once because they deleted it, etc... and 2. Does not account for the fact that not everyone can / will post.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I am getting phenomenal battery life when the phone is in my pocket. But it does drop quickly when I am actively using it, so there is an issue there that is due to the kernel.

However, I think people's sleeping issues are random. My battery dies within 4-5 hours of "sleeping" on Joel's rom because it never sleeps. Other people don't have that issue.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Who the hell is Tim? :p
