Battery on 2.3 for me is pretty good. It worse so far than GB but that was with dodavas kernel. I'm still getting better than stock, which is a plus. I'm still figuring out ICS, was setting up icons and accidentally created a folder, so that's sorta new implementation of something you couldn't easily do.
[HTC EVO 3D] Master_LU:
Mickey found this ics mms. Don't remember where I got it. Any way I been using it since 1.8. Works great, no issues. Was wondering if it could be baked in.

Let me know when you find out. The only thing i have come across is a modified phone apk in the theme section but I never tried it out. You have to push it to system and some other stuff I wasnt interested in doing at the time. Haven't taken the time to look for it, it honestly isnt that big of a deal with me but if there is an ez fix im game
[HTC EVO 3D] GrndSers-Rcng:
Thats the same thing I found... But that file is for a GB Sense rom and it doesnt work for ours...

So uh, what's the trick to squeezing battery out of this rom? I get like six hours :/
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Well my friend we are SOL :D
[HTC EVO 3D] brotski:
I'm not 100% sure but I was having problems with Facebook stuff a few days ago and someone suggested I spend a dollar on the program haxsync from the market and since it has been working wonderfully. I get all my notifications, facebook pics, all I was missing but it did cost a dollar. There might be something free out there but the dollar was worth it to me.

Several have commented about our battery life, so I thought I'd throw out my	opinion...

I am running v2.2, stock kernel.

I am a moderate to heavy user (moderate during day, heavy in evenings).

My phone is generally off charger 17-18 hours daily.

At end of work day, I have approx 75-85% battery remaining (11-12 hours).

By the time I hit the bed, phone usually has 35-45%.

Stand by time is great.

Screen on time seems a little heavy on the battery.

But, overall, I couldn't be happier.

Thanks, Mike! Awesome work!
[HTC EVO 3D] dysolv:
I can say the same for 2.2. However, on 2.3 my battery life was pretty abysmal!
[HTC EVO 3D] PrinceKagato:
I am on 2.3 right now and my battery life seems to be just as good as 2.2. I have been using the stock battery because for some reason my aftermarket batteries drain so much faster than the stock one. I have a 2000mah battery and with MeanROM it doesn't last long at all. Perhaps I should just keep it on the phone for a while but my stock one lasts me all day, even at work (12 hour shift) where Sprint reception is horrible since we only have 2 towers in this crappy town.
[HTC EVO 3D] dysolv:
Do you get/send MMS with this?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Going to the Sprint store now to look at the Evo 4G LTE before I decide on the Samsung. Hope they have a running model that I can test the camera, etc. Don't be mad if I come home with one. :eek:

On the bright side, I'm KEEPING my Evo 3D regardless.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] dysolv:
Keeping the 3D, and continuing to develop MR are two completely different things. Here's hoping for the latter!
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
If I wasn't going to develop for it, I wouldn't keep it. I need the trade in value and there's no other reason to keep it. Of course, if I can't get Sprint to cut me some sort of discount, the point is probably moot anyway. I don't think I can eat $700 hoping I can make up for it in donations. That's about how much it'll be after taxes, case, and screen protectors.

Mike

[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
Wouldn't you rather wait a couple weeks until the S3 is released so you can compare them side before making a decision?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
The unsubsidized price of phones is ridiculous. That's as much as an iPad. They arbitrarily set the price so high so the two year contract seems like a small price to pay for such a "deal" on the subsidized price. Just like medical bills, if everyone paid full price, the price would have to come down to reasonable levels.
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
Weird double post. Sorry.

Dirty Wipe?

In the OP When talking about updating your rom he says to do a dirty wipe. What specifically does he mean by dirty wipe?
[HTC EVO 3D] mkokotovich:
Dirty wipe might be a bit of a misnomer. It's more of a dirty flash, I'd say. I think he means flash the new ROM over the old ROM without wiping or reseting your phone first.

So if you're running 2.2 and you don't want to have to wipe/reset your phone before you upgrade to 2.3, you can skip that step and just flash the 2.3 ROM. All your 2.2 apps and settings will be left in place.
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
that means you can just wipe cache and dalvick instead of a full system, data wipe. if you run into issues with a dirty wipe then you should try a full wipe and see if the issue is resolved before posting about the issue here.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
It's $549.00 from Sprint with no contract. $3.00 for screen protectors. That must be one hell of case you're looking at.

You might be able to buy out what ever you have left on contract to get $199 price.

My wife has my old EVO 3D running MeanROM and I have the EVO LTE 4G. Both nice phones. Very different from one another.

I hate they removed Search and Menu buttons though and it has serious issues with WIFI for a lots of folks (including me). Most annoying is, I'll be half way to work and notice it's still on the WIFI from home and won't let go (And won;t do any data) until I shut the WIFI off and on again.

Other than that, it's a very elegant device.
[HTC EVO 3D] SRQ Rick:
if I had a facebook "like" button I would hit it.
[HTC EVO 3D] energizer1389:
So by wiping only cache and Dalvik I would retain my downloaded apps and settings?
[HTC EVO 3D] aypanthony:
Great Rom!!! Because of this Rom, I may delay my upgrade.

FYI, I am on HBoot 1.5(stock rom/kernel), so I used Flash Image GUI(in Market) to flash kernel and then flashed the rom. No problems and works great!!

Donation incoming....keep up the great work!
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Yes. I have done nothing but dirty flashes since one of the first releases and my phone works great with Mean ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] aypanthony:
correct
[HTC EVO 3D] mwjames1985:
any reason why leedroid tweaks bootloops the rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Have to be sure you are flashing the right version 4.3.1
[HTC EVO 3D] PrinceKagato:
HTC Phone?

A little off topic but if anyone knows its you guys. Anyone know if HTC will be releasing another phone on Sprint with a slide out keyboard. My wife is due for an upgrade but really likes her EVO Shift and is a big fan of HTC. She really wants another HTC but with a keyboard. Anyone heard anything through the grapevine?
[HTC EVO 3D] mwjames1985:
i heard they wouldn't be making any more slide out phones..but who knows

the latest version i see is 4.0.3.... if there is a newer version could you link me to it?
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
havent heard anything but with HTC wanting to focus on highend to mid range devices that are all about the same look and spec wise i dont think it'll be very likely. but i could be very wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] brotski:
Congratz! Welcome to the fray! Not everyone with 1.5 s-on can get ICS to work without bootloops without a little more work to downgrade of s-off, so you're one of the lucky ones.
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
i'm s-on with hboot 1.5 and can flash all the ics roms no problem. never thought i'd be considered a lucky one with s-on lol. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] PrinceKagato:
Same here, lol
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Couldnt find the thread so here a db link

http://db.tt/24Dtirpo
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Not usually. I usually just do a thank you here every once in a while. I always feel like replying is a little "spamish".

I may. I looked at the Evo 4G LTE in the store though and it really does have zero shutter lag. With that pet peeve out of the way, there's not as much allure to the Samsung any more. I prefer the shape of the Evo (not a fan of rounded edges) and I was surprised at how thin and light the Evo is! I did find out while I was there that I could pay to upgrade early so I already paid the $125 premium to get my upgrade date set back to today. Takes 24 hours to go through so if I decide on the Evo, I'll have to go back tomorrow to get it.

Well, let's break this down. Either phone with a 32 GB SD card is $599 so you're already at the $600 mark. Add 6.5% sales tax and with tax alone, you're at $639. Add a $30 case and you're at $669. Screen protectors $15 (I don't get my screen protectors out of the bargain bin at the dollar store) and that's $684 out the door. Pretty close to $700 and that's assuming they don't charge any activation fees!

I guess it's a moot point now though because I just paid $125 to get the $199 price. So we'll see what happens.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Sounds like something my WiFi watcher script (in the MeanROM ICS init.d folder) might fix! That script specifically watches for when the WiFi says it's connected, but no real connection exists.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] PrinceKagato:
Hey Mike, my wife and I upgraded our other 2 lines a few months back and they indeed did charge us an activation fee. But they billed us for it instead of having to pay right then and there.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I agree on the price, but really, all that stuff is overpriced these days. I'd spend $700 on an Evo 4G LTE before I'd spend that much on an iPud!

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Some things you may want to consider before you pull the trigger...

2 GB of RAM on the Sammy, and possibly a quad core too.

What happens when you flash a ROM and get boot loops on the Evo? No s-off to save the day.
[HTC EVO 3D] brotski:
As I read through this thread there are lots of people who have bootloop issues, so congratz for real. I've luckily never updated to 1.5 so it's never been an issue for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] PrinceKagato:
I thought the Samsung had 1 GB of RAM and a 1.5 dual processor. Have the specs changed? (Never mind was looking at the wrong phone, d'oh!)
[HTC EVO 3D] aypanthony:
Since I was a flash whore with my OG Epic, I tried to avoid rooting and flashing my EVO 3D.....oh well, happy flashing!
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
I wanna see the quad/antutu and an actual comparison. I heard the quad core was better in some respects but lost points to the dual in others. Interested to see what the verdict will actually be
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
With double the RAM I don't see how it could possibly be any worse. I think all of those benchmarks and tests were done on the 1 GB model.
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Hey Mike when you get a chance can you take a look at this thread and possibly lend a hand in this bassini bass mod? It has beats, srs, Dolby and xloud rolled into one. There are lots of us Meanies that use it and Predator says he needs a cdma developer to fix something so we can have full capabilities. I know you dont care for beats but even with %50 working the volume is by far louder through speakers and headphones
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you mean the last few posts in this thread, they seem a little confused. I haven't been using the lpa.decode=false setting since the modified version removes the build.prop file and the OP of that thread says that's only needed with a Virtuous ROM which is GSM. Predator says that CDMA users are only getting 50% of the bass effect, but I think it may be due to that parameter. I'm not sure what else we need that isn't already in the modified v10 version, so I'll just continue to use that for now.

[HTC EVO 3D] JAWSxs:
can anyone let me know about battery performance in the latest build? (2.3) I was about to switch to another rom when I was on 2.1, then 2.2 battery life came back to normal.

I see 2.3 went the way of performance again....is battery still ok? Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] sw99:
Hey Mikey, I'm no fan of Best Buy, but they've been offering a $50 gift card for the LTE and if Sprint is resetting you qualification date then u should be able to get the phone anywhere. And u can get the $50 screen protector you always wanted :D

Here is link to the promo and i see no expiration date.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchp...p=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Looks like the Sammy is dual core to me:

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/433346

And, the people in the Evo 4G LTE forum are happily flashing away both ROMs and radios (firmware) with the phone being s-on. The conclusion in those threads is that s-off is now a "who cares" and not needed.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Thanks! Didn't know that. Now that's a quandry: whether $50 savings is worth dealing with the walking dead in the Best Buy Mobile dept. Hmm. Maybe.

BTW, I prefer these.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
That was the same conclusion in the Evo 3D forums too until people started getting boot loops with s-on. If that weren't the case, everyone would have s-off long before it ever came to that.

I don't think anyone can confirm one way or the other if Sprint's will have the quad core. We just have to wait and see.

They changed the specs on the device after it was announced. It was initially announced with 1GB of RAM and a dual core. Samsung later upgraded it to 2GB of RAM and there is all kinds of speculation that it will have the quad core as well. All of this happened after the device was officially announced so there is no official word one way or the other.

We'll know for sure in a week or so.
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
Mike, I thought an even more annoying pet peeve was not being able to remove the battery without a teardown?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I don't see anyone (well, other than the same tiny ratio you get even with s-off devices) getting boot loops in the Evo forum. Remember too, boot loops were never a problem with 1.5 s-on on the Evo 3D either until the Virgin Mobile Virus fiasco. And that was caused by not being able to flash pieces of the firmware that were needed: not a problem now since the Evo 4G LTE'ers are flashing radio and other firmware with s-on now.

I also don't see any credible evidence of quad core on the Samsung. They're due out in 7 days which means they've already been built and shipped. I would think if they were going to be quad core, someone would know it! But you're right. On the off 2% chance that some miracle brings a quad core to it and the presumption that the quad core is incompatible with LTE is incorrect, we'll have to wait and see to be 100% sure. But I'd put the chances of quad core at about 2%. :)

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Yeah. Believe me... I haven't gotten over that. That's just plain STUPID! It helps seeing in the teardown that replacing the battery when it loses capacity is no big deal: just unplug the cable and replace. But not being able to carry and reasonably use a spare could end up biting me. I'm hoping that the capacity and quick charge capability will save me. But yeah, that could end up making me regret the purchase if I get one! No doubt about it.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Nobody says the quad core isn't compatible with LTE. It just requires a separate LTE chip (similar to current Wimax devices requiring an additional chip).

In any case, we know for a fact it has 2 GB of RAM at this point so that is something you probably want to think about before you pull the trigger.

Also, with several Nexus devices launching this year, you may want to wait for more info on that before you burn the upgrade.

You know what they say, nothing is ever a problem until it becomes a problem. I'm sure they're flashing away with s-on right now. I would not assume that means they won't need s-off at some point though. Maybe when the Jellybean ROM leaks and people want to install it.

Here's a hypothetical scenario that may not be too far fetched.. Say Google releases a Nexus Evo, based on the Evo LTE, and it ships with Jellybean. Sprint and HTC are lagging with the Jellybean update for the Evo LTE (just like they are with ICS on the Evo 3D). Everyone naturally wants to flash the Jellybean ROM. But for whatever reason, you either can't flash it at all or it causes boot loops.

I don't know man, I just think you'd be crazy to buy the Evo right now with a better spec'd device launching in a week. I'm sitting this round out (no LTE in my area but we have Wimax, so I don't want to be stuck on 3G, plus I like taking 3D pictures).

EDIT:

Quad core with 2 GB RAM headed to Sprint in a few months

http://pocketnow.com/2012/06/14/qua...ple-us-carriers-this-fall/?utm_source=dlvr.it
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I know. I hear you. But there's a reason that there are no 4G LTE devices with a quad core chip right now. We're not there yet. And I'm not sure I'd want to be the guinea pig for the first one released either! Plus, as a developer who's comfortable with HTC and Sense, I can be up and running as soon as I get home with it. So for me it's not about an extra gig of RAM or 4 versus 2 cores. It's about supporting something with my limited resources, and picking a device I'm sure will be popular. Those two things together say HTC.

Also, you and I both know that even IF s-on is a problem, by the time Jelly Bean hits the streets, someone will have already cracked s-off on the Evo 4G LTE.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
But, since Sprint has a 30 day return policy, Mike could still exchange the EVO LTE for a S3 after the 21June release date of the S3, couldn't he??
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I'm with you on the waiting since I have very good WiMax 4G as well, but there is something seductive about getting the latest and greatest, especially for a developer. I've worked in IT for many years and it seems to be pretty universal.

Having said that, I'm expecting that next summer when I've had the Evo 3D for two years there will be multiple devices releasing with Jelly Bean and the 800Mhz LTE that provides better indoor coverage. Although I was a Gold Premier member and can update for $199 until the end of this year, the way Sprint is going with the policy changes I'd rather wait until my contract is up and then consider all phone and carrier options.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] gonk24:
Another plus of Best Buy is that they don't do mail in rebates like Sprint. The rebate amount is deducted in store at the time of purchase. I've purchased the last 2 rounds of phones for the wife and I at BB just because of that.
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
I honestly don't know if s-off will ever be achieved on the new Evo. Look how long it took to get it on the 3D, and the new Evo is even more locked down. Combine that there will be a bunch of Nexus devices, an unlocked Galaxy S3, and an unlocked LG quad core with 2GB of RAM, and I don;t know that there will be very many people even trying to get s-off on it.

Whatever makes you happy, but I just think the smart thing to do would be to wait the 1 week when you can compare them side by side before you make a decision.
[HTC EVO 3D] gonk24:
Sprint only has a 14 day return policy now. Thank the iphone for that.
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
No, Sprint killed that 30 day policy a while ago. You only get a week or 2 now, and you have to pay a restocking fee. I can't remember if the activation fee is refunded or not, but it would not surprise me if it wasn't.
[HTC EVO 3D] xblackvalorx:
I'm honestly just unimpressed by the lte, only thing that makes it attractive to me is the camera.

I'm most likely waiting for HTC to release their next flagship on sprint or maybe something else but the s3 or the lte wont be my next phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
Thanks. Clearly, I haven't bought a new phone since the iPhone was released.

One thing I do, though... I live in NYC. They don't give you a a break on ANYTHING. I wait until I am visiting family (which I do frequently) in Lafayette, Louisiana, where they're much more lenient on policies like returns, etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
Just FYI - I'm pretty sure that Sprint changed their return policy to 14 days as opposed to 30 days in 2012.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Have to disagree with you on this one. :)

As long as there is an S-ON status, I'd be willing to bet that someone will find a way to set it to S-OFF. If HTC really wanted to lock down the phone, they would get rid of that status completely and just force the partitions they don't want users to flash to have security set on by default. And there would still need to be some type of engineering bootloader that could flash everything for the HTC developers and repair technicians, and it wouldn't take long for that to leak.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
The engineering bootloader for the 3D leaked before the device was even released. It didn't do any good though, because nobody could flash it without having s-off.

We got incredibly lucky to have s-off on our 3Ds. It takes perfect timing, and multiple OS boxes to "brick" your phone so you can downgrade, or some wire jumping pins, lol. And this wasn't even discovered until like 9 months after the device was released.

With the new Evo being even more locked down, and many more devices being released (we haven't even seen what Motorola will do now that Google owns them), it's a pretty safe bet that by the time the Evo LTE gets s-off (if it ever even gets it) there will be better devices for sale anyway.

I'm like you, I want LTE in my area, and I want a phone that works on the 800 spectrum. When I have that in my hands, that's probably when the Evo LTE will finally get s-off (if it even ever gets it).
[HTC EVO 3D] b1gsby_02:
Love the rom, Mike. I get about 24 hrs battery with medium - heavy usage. Thanks for your work!
