GSM working in this rom? Its not in the OP but that does'nt mean it is'nt working. Just a yes no will suffice thx in advance.
[HTC Rezound] luke61456789:
I believe its not bud
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
It should be because it's based on a Global RUU leak. Replace Verizon's sim card with the GSM one and you're good to go. That's how I used my phone outside the U.S. last Summer (even before global ruu was released).
[HTC Rezound] olorolo:
Thx for responding I was hoping a gsm user would answer but thx for the quick reply anyway
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
There was lots of talk about GSM a while ago in here, you might want to dig back through, I was thinking most of the from from, not real sure tho, sorry I can't help more.

I'm sure when Nil's sees your port, he will let you know for sure

Edit,

Type GSM in the search this forum, happy reading, tons of results
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
GSM has been reported as working by a few users. I have not used it myself but....
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
The app called "4G Toggle" is simple and the best one to toggle between 3G and 4G.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
This seems a little excessive, especially considering my screen has been off, the phone is just sitting next to me at my desk. Solid 4g connection, it's not constantly reconnecting or anything (and I think the radio would show up higher if that was the case)

Google Now has been disabled for weeks, so that's not it.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
open maps>menue>location> uncheck everything.

open google now> go through setup process> hit menue> google now> turn off>check the box that comes up with the notification.

that helped me a lot!
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
In the upper left-hand corner: what's running? Looks like maybe two things and maybe one is some kind of player?

...just a thought.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Right, the screenshot reflects a music player running which I had just started when I noticed the sad state of my battery.

The important thing to note is the 80% Screen when the screen was off the whole time.

The % really does not matter much. What was the amount of time the screen was on?
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
+1 to that app,

Very Helpful to get details on who the battery hog is
[HTC Rezound] Outta:
Just fyi if anyone is wondering this is the best rom for our phone.

Now you can stop crack flashing, :) yw.
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Did you tap on the "screen bar" in the Battery Use chart to see how long the screen was actually on?
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Yes. Just under 2 hours. And like I said, it was sitting next to me the whole time, and I guarantee you it wasn't on for more than a couple minutes only a handful of times. Does not add up to 2 hours screen time. Which is why I'm doubting the accuracy of the display. I'm trying the battery meter someone recommended earlier in the thread and doing the exact same things with my phone today (which is mostly nothing!)
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Maybe that thing was happening where the screen is off but the lights for the buttons were on and it was considered screen on time and was killing the battery?
[HTC Rezound] punman:
The buttons weren't on.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
I may be speaking out of turn, but I assume any little bit helps so ...

... I showed an 80% battery use for screen-on when it wasn't, when I was battling my Google Now problem. Once Google Now was disabled (at least traffic) and Maps no longer cached/updated my location, the phone went back to normal including the screen-on issue. I suspect that the Google Now implementation is still wonky, but if you are having these false positives on screen time and battery consumption, check to see if your maps is reporting your location/caching it/etc and if google now traffic is on.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
As I reported initially, Google Now is definitely disabled. GPS pops on once every 3 hours, (I can see the blips in the GSAM battery graph,) when facebook or something is updating, but it goes right off.

I think I may have found the culprit. Poweramp seems to be keeping a wakelock active even when it's not playing music.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
Same issue here. I disabled google now, and location setting in themaps app, but GPS is using 12% battery. I have no idea y. The only thing that should be using it is HTC clock. But that's every 3 hrs. And during school, I have data turned off, cause I only have 1 bar and it kills the battery. And GPS has been on 5 times, and keep awake for 12 mins and GPS is 13mins. Usually my maps batter dosage is like 4% so I think that's eating my battery. In 7 hrs of school, it should of only came on 2 times. Every 3 hrs since that's what I have the clock set to.

I'm getting 1hr of screen on time ans 10 hrs of use.
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
I use PowerAmp and it does show up under Running Apps in App setting but it uses very little power. The player is not actually on so I have no idea why it does this and you can force stop it but it will return again later. It seems to have something to do with Headset Micro Service, whatever that is. It does not seem to affect my battery in the same way it affects yours. I use PowerAmp at least 1 hour everyday while I'm walking and also another program that tracks me on GPS during that same time and together they drop the battery from 98% to around 85% typically.

My typical day on this ROM is about 13 - 14 hours. I charge the phone during the night, reboot each morning, so I am usually starting at 98%. I start out with the exercise routine I discussed above for 1 - 1.5 hours (the screen is usually off during this time); might have 1-3, 10 minute calls and a text or two during the day; check a few gmails a day; play on the internet, play store, etc. maybe 30 - 60 minutes; play solitare for another 15 - 30 minutes; read at night in bed for 30 - 45 minutes. So when I look at the battery stats, it is usually between 13 - 14 hours, screen display (the largest user) is usually 2 - 3 hours. Anyway, when I hook it up to charge, it is generally at about 25 - 40%. I have noticed that if I keep the Dolphin Browser open, even though the screen is off, it will start to drain my battery so I always try to close it when I leave the internet.

Since I live in a fringe area, I keep the phone in 3G mode but use my WiFi at home; I toggle to 4G if I need the speed if I have a strong signal; I have most of Nils' Power Saver Settings checked (in Apps), and the Power Saver Mode turned on (in the pull down menu under Quick Settings); I keep my Screen at 20% inside and might toggle it up to 50% if I need it outside.

Based on the prevoius post, I just downloaded GSAM and will start seeing what Apps are using but after trying SetCPU and several other things that mess with governors or set profiles, I just keep uninstalling all the other stuff and coming back to the stock Nils ROM which seems to give the best battery life.

Now if Nils could just invent a stock size 1900-2000 battery that is cheap and actually works, we would all be in great shape. Nils, surely you can create a virtual battery for the ROM. It would put you even higher up on the pedestal we all have you on.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Do you have PowerAmp set to use its lock screen? I think that might be what's keeping the phone "awake" even when it's not playing music. I turned it off and we'll see if my battery is still draining ridiculously.

I'd like it to use the built-in ICS lockscreen (there's a checkbox for it) but it doesn't work on this version of the ROM. I believe it worked on the Sense 4 ROM and previous versions.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
OK, I have developed a virtual battery and placed it in Apples iCloud.

When I can provide a link you will be able to access it, run from it and even remove the physical battery to make the phone lighter. Totally eliminates the need to charge so you can even get rid of your cables.

Now if you believe that I have a bridge..............

[HTC Rezound] punman:
Verified using PowerAmp's lock screen was causing immense and absurd battery drain.

Solution: in PowerAmp, un-check Settings -> Lock screen -> "Enable Lock Screen" and "Enable ICS Lock Screen"
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Even the non-ics lockscreen?
[HTC Rezound] punman:
The non ICS lockscreen was actually causing the problem. The ICS lockscreen doesn't work, so it's better to leave it unchecked as well.

I charged my phone up to 56%, then I unplugged it and rebooted. The battery percentage showed 20 after the first reboot. I rebooted again and now it showed 10%. I rebooted once again and it showed 9% and it quickly going down while I'm typing this. I hate my phone for that. Is anyone experiencing such weird behavior on the phone/battery part?
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
ya a little.... my prob is with the gps, but i noticed too that when im browsing internet/ on fb, i watch the % drop by 1 every like 45sec- 1.5 mins....
[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
Quadrider10, are you using Nil's ROM as presented, or the SebastianFM kernel that's listed in your sig?

punman, glad you got it sorted, it may help others using Poweramp.
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Great find!

It wasn't a problem for me because luckily it was never enabled.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
Sabastiansfm. I think I figured our y tho. I leave my data off but my wifi on so I think the WiFi is trying to grab the network and get my locations. MIA try and turn both off and see how it goes. But I do notice that just typing on this forum this message, my batter went from 100% to 95%, and it only took me 3vmins.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
Here is my opinion. You can take it or ignore it.

Based on your signature, you have OCed you cpu and gpu and you expect the battery life to be what?!?!

Go back to Nills stock kernel and see how it affects you battery. You can't get both.

Please create a separate thread( and I think you have it) so people can respond to it there. This has nothing to do with Nills ROM.

Thank you.

BTW There is also this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1641415

Out of curiosity, is anybody's messaging app deleting or masking mms/text group threads older than 30 days? I have the auto-delete option turned off and all my threads with group conversations only allow me to see back 30 days when I know the conversation go months back.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Quad,

I thought it had already been established that Sebastian's kernel doesn't play well with this Rom.

If you insist on running a custom kernel (and there's nothing wrong with that), I would suggest DSB's latest global kernel. It ran great for me, set to Lionheart/SIO @ 1677 mHz/192 mHz.

Good luck.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
no reason to be sarcastic. im not oc'ed rite now. im under volted and under clocked to 1.18ghz and i never increase that unless i want to play a game. im under volted by -50mV.

i tried his kernel, and i was havimg so many probs with the cpu settings sticking. it was pretty smooth tho.

and sabastians runs awesome! what happned before is i uninstalled system UI, and that caused the crash. my mistake. nothing from rom or kernel.

i fixed my maps issue by turning off wifi too, but my battery gets drained so fast!. i started the day with a 100, then an it down to about 90 in the morning. shut off wifi and data, went to school. 7hrs later, i checked it an it was at 65% (thats just sitting idle in my pocket. i never touched it) then turned on data and wifi, checked FB for 5 mins on 4g, and it instanly droped from 65 to 50%. total up time is 8hrs and 25 mins, and screen on time is 40mins. keep in mind that i am under volted and under clocked to 1.18 and -50mV.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
I wasn't sarcastic at all. If you are not using Nills kernel you are kind of on your own. Go back to basics. Run latest RUU and get baseline for your battery than start playing with it it again if you want. You can go to the store and see if they will replace your battery.

Many of us are running Nills rom with stuck kernel just fine. There are so many different things that may effect your battery life. I on average get 25-30 hours during weekday because I'm in the office and 30-45 hours if I'm at home where I always get full bar signal.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Quad,

The phone was not designed to have both cores force-enabled. None of the kernels/Roms I've tried have yielded good results from forcing both cores into an always-on state. And you certainly won't get better battery life when the phone's hardware is spending all its time fighting with its software.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
i know. i always have 1 core off unless i want to play some hardcore games like nova then i force it on. b/c usually when i play games like that im home and dont care for battery life. that also when i overclock it.
[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
Excellent Battery Life

My last battery run was almost 60 hours (on stock battery). Granted I did very little on it the last two days, but I did chat, surf internet and make a few phone calls each day. If there were problems with Nils' ROM, I'd never would have approached 60 hours. Under heavier use I can still get an entire day on it and recharge each night, and that's really all I need/expect. If I need more time off the charger, I can swap out to the extended battery. I'd say Nils' stock ROM is doing fantastic with battery life.

It has been getting a little quiet in this forum lately, which is a good sign. It means all is working and very few problems. Thanks Nils and gang.

Quadrider10, have you considered just using airplane mode while you are at school? I work in radiology and use airplane mode at work because there's no point in trying to hold a signal while I'm surrounded by lead-lined walls. Works well.
[HTC Rezound] cmoshea:
Finally got enough posts to post here and want to say thanks nils, love this rom
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
Yea. My school sucks for reception. But I need to be able to recive texts and calls because of work and karate. I switched to dsb kernel, and am noticing better battery. How much, idk yet because I haven't charged it fully yet.

So I switched to dsb kernel and am noticing a little better battery. Bit I still do notice that it drains prety fast when I'm just browsing about and general stuff. No games.

If reboot fails try going into /data/apps and install it and see if that helps.

alright well im defientally getting a crap load better battery! but i still do notice that when the screen is on, it does dain pretty fast. today i was in kohls, and phone was in pocket and i was just listening to music, then i noticed my pocket getting really hot, so i checked it, and both the data arrows were on. i checked what i was, and it was maps and google services downloading location or somehting..... i restarted and it was fine. but my phone went from 80% to 60% in like 7mins.... but anyways, i wasent fully able to test it, because i was using it a lot, never fully charged the batter, then after that incedent, i had to use the gps and navagation becaue we got lost on the way home. lol. owell. i belive i got 5hrs with 1.5-2hrs screen on??

anyways battery problem solved. i just ordered the extended battery.

just as a reference point tho, what % does GPS use on your phones on an average day, and how many times does it wake the device? im trying to compair, and just want a refference.

but anyways, thanks everyone who was respectful and positive towards me and help me out! very much appericated. :D
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Nils,

Since the 6.3 update, it seems that my speaker phone speaker is much more screechy, if thats a word. However, if I'm using PowerAmp, the external speaker doesn't sound nearly as bad. Any chance it has something to do with the ROM, i.e Beats or some setting I'm missing? Or it could just be my speaker getting flacky. Do these music equalizers have any affect on the in-call speaker phone or just music?

Thanks for your sage advise.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I am not hearing that so the only suggestion I have is to try flashing v6.2 over 6.3 without a wipe and see if it fixes it.
