will this battery issue be resolved???? 2% battery problem!?!?!

this is the only issue i'm having with this ROM, i can last a whole day on 4g constantly, but when it begins to die, this can be really annoying

It does require some modification but not more than your phone needed the first time you flashed. As someone else said you may need to flash a PRL and you MUST change the mms settings or you won't be able to send mms. Just follow the instructions on the Cricket forums

Ramjet,

I installed that modified bassini zip. How do I know it installed anything? Is there any changes I can look for to make sure it installed?

Thanks,

I'm no expert but have the LTE and got to play around with the Samsung and I wouldn't trade the cameras in a million years. When a flash is used both cameras take the time to snap the photo and without the flash the LTE takes an instantaneous picture as well when using the button on the side of the phone. The biggest difference is the LTE photos are much crisper, clearer and have truer colors.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, if you play something in HTC Music then press the menu key and select sound enhancer, the menu should look likt the attached screenshot. The speaker should also be louder due to the xloud enhancement.

[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Does it work with Pandora or the Google Music? I never use the HTC music player.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The Sony xloud enhancement should be universal. AFAIK, the other enhancements (SRS, beats, Dolby) only apply to the HTC Music app, but maybe banccalif can comment on that.

Thanks for the personal reply Mike, and thanks for all your great work on this ROM. I know you and the rest of the team have put a lot of your personal time and talent into it.

The problem I have is that with exactly the same apps and settings on a GB ROM and MeanROM ICS, I'm getting way less battery life with MeanROM ICS. You may be right in that perhaps one of my "must have" apps just doesn't play nice with ICS but plays OK with GB... if I can find the time to do the comparisons, starting from a factory reset state and adding apps one at a time and checking battery life, maybe I can find the culprit... or maybe not. :confused:

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I'll believe it when I see it in person, with both phones in my hand. It's amazing how many people claim the Evo 3D shoots instantaneous pictures too! I guess a half second delay means "instant" for some. There's not an Evo 3D on this planet that has zero shutter lag; nothing even close. The fastest I've ever seen is about a half second delay. In the videos I've seen where the Evo 4G LTE is shooting pictures, the same exact delay is there.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] nolimit06:
For me using the camera button the lag is a lot more noticeable than using the onscreen button. Alot of my pictures come out blurry because I do not have the steadiest hands in the world. Is there a better camera app or anything to fix it?
[HTC EVO 3D] ronyoung08:
Which ROM has better battery life MeanRom 2.17 or ICS?
[HTC EVO 3D] Adanedhels:
thanks

Thanks Ramjet,

So it appears this enhancer only applies to HTC music and doesn't attach to the Google Play Music though it does appear that that one does have a enhancer not sure it is beats on it....

Anyway to enable these enhancers on Google Music?

Thanks again,

I think there is a program that will allow you to play your google music through the htc music player.. I read about on goodandevo.net which is now pocketables.com.. anyone have any first hand experience doing this?

Nevermind it's not exactly what I thought it was.. it just lets you download your music from the cloud to your sd card.. and it's not even free.. you probably uploaded your music to the cloud so you probably also don't need this.. http://www.pocketables.com/2012/02/get-your-music-from-google-with-cloud-music-sniper.html

No one said anything most likely because you are experiencing something that the majority of us arent. Not to ignore you as if you dont matter but we cant help you with what dont know. There was that issue a few releases ago, but you are the only person as of late with this problem that ive read (im on this thread several times a day). I have never had an issue with incorrect battery readings, so im stumped.

Remember Mikey is the sole developer, he cant answer everyone so we try to make it easier by helping others with what we know. Maybe someone else can chime in on how they might have gotten around this
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Rom, leedroid, beats mod, add beats is how I have normally done it. Although I have made a mistake and dis it in this order and everything worked just fine
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:

Yup...I can't play my 3D games on this ROM! I'm also noticing battery life is not as sweet at meanROM GB v4.2. Needless to say I went back to GB. Downloading meanROM v4.4 now.
[HTC EVO 3D] xblackvalorx:
Thanks, gonna try it out next update
[HTC EVO 3D] SRQ Rick:
I totally agree with you about the EVO 3D. It has driven me nuts for the last year. Really my only complaint but it is not the same with the LTE. You will see for yourself soon enough I'm sure. And remember that the Samsung and the LTE when taking a picture with a flash both go through that red eye reduction lights flashy thing before the picture is taken. Samsung is not any faster. If it is faster without the flash, its not by much.....there is nowhere near a half a second. I'm guessing the videos you've seen are pictures taken with a flash. Both are considered "zero shutter lag".
[HTC EVO 3D] fearwillkeepus:
I flashed leedroid tweaks and lost 4x5 on homescreen :/
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
That's where I stand, also: I wanna hold both phones in my grubby hands.

The removable battery is annoying, but not a deal breaker for me. In theory, I'd like to carry around an extra battery, but I've just never consistently done so. Instead, I carry around a charger. As long as I can simulate a battery removal in case of a bad crash (I'm told you can by holding power for ~10 seconds), then I can live with it.

I don't know about the shutter lag. I was certain I'd read that the EVO LTE 4G was much much better than the 3D in that department. Again, I will have to see for myself in person.

If the lag is the redeye (as someone purported above), wouldn't turning off redeye in settings resolve that (or at least improve it)? Shutter lag does indeed bug the crap out of me!
[HTC EVO 3D] rigmort:
Just flashed this after a superwipe and am loving it. I got bootloops with the included kernel until I installed Chad's RLS1 kernel.

2 small problems, and sorry if I missed something in the last 400 pages:

1) 3D camera doesn't work -- just get a black viewfinder screen.

2) Weather lockscreen says "No weather forecasts available" even though I have the Weather app configured correctly.

Edit: Never mind, had to go into Location settings and turn on Google Location Service setting. Weather working fine now. Just need to figure out the 3D camera problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Besides those minor issues, this is like having a new phone. THANKS MIKEY!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
I've had the weather problem. Try these three things:

Make sure GPS is turned on.

Go into Settings -> Location and make sure everything is checked in there.

Restart the phone.

(Sorry, I don't remember which exactly resolved the weather problem, but those are the things I recall doing.)
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
3d camera does not work with Chad's kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] rigmort:
Is there a fix? My phone bootloops with the kernel installed by MeanRom ICS.

And once again, sorry if I missed the answer somewhere in the last 400 pages ;-)
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
The fix is to downgrade your phone to HBOOT v1.4 and S-OFF or use the wire trick to S-OFF your HBOOT v1.5 phone (the latter is what I did last week). Then you can use the built in kernel without the boot loops. That fixes the 3D issues, and also fixes the USB storage connection break.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Right. The ICS leak came with an annoying scrap of code that literally said "if battery is less than 25%, then add 6% to the battery level in the notification bar". That made the notification bar show 6% higher battery levels than other screens like "Settings", "Power", "Usage". I ripped that fake 6% code out and checked the rest. There is nothing in the code as supplied in the ROM that could cause ANY discrepancy in battery % readings. I checked them all, and they all get their readings from the same place (now, after my fix).

So my feeling is, maybe you installed Leedroid tweaks or some other tweaks or theme that broke my fix... or (more likely since yours is not 6%), you installed something that is interfering with the battery meter(s).

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
I read that and LITERALLY said loudly "WHAT THE F#@K???" (Yes, I swear out loud using cartoon characters!) Why on earth would they write that into the code: just to make the battery life seem better than it actually is??

Does that mean that when you get to 24%, you suddenly jumped up to 30%??

Sorry, Mike, that is not "annoying" on Google/HTC's part, that's dishonest! No?

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Yes. That's EXACTLY what it means! Crazy right? You could watch the battery go down to 27, 26, 25, 30, 29, 28... And worse, when it got to 21% on the notification bar, you'd get the popup saying "you have 15% battery left".

The only thing I can figure is maybe they put that code in there as a test or for some sort of debugging, and they forgot to take it out.

Then again, they made some other truly horrendous mistakes. My favorite is HARD CODING a complete data disconnect between 12am and 7am. :rolleyes: That was a lot harder to fix because it was tangled all through at least a dozen places in the code in SystemUI and Settings.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] EindhovenOne:
Mike, other than trying a third complete wipe and re-flash of 2.3, what else would you suggest to try in regards to the battery just draining super fast? I already tried 3 cycles of the method you suggested of letting it drain down below 15%, powering off, then back on and recharging the battery but to no avail, sir.

Also, no matter how many power off-power on's I try, the WiFi still shuts off when my screen shuts off and comes back on when I power on. The settings are set to WiFi never sleeping and the router is good to go.

No mods, no tweaks, just MRICS 2.3...it is definitely faster and snappier than 2.2 but I took my phone off the charger at 7am, and at this posting it is at 42%

I'll keep trying the drain-power off-power on-charge method and see if it pans out but I'm just wondering why I'm having this issue to this extent.

[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
Have you seen this article?

http://www.pocketables.com/2012/06/...original-evo-camera-go-head-to-head-part.html
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I think you (and maybe one other person) must have something installed that is prone to runaway CPU. If so, 2.3 will probably drain faster than prior versions because of the runaway process and the fact that the CPU goes full bore. People say "plain MRICS" but 95% of the time, there is no such thing unless you do a super wipe, install MRICS, and then you never even put your gmail address in the phone. Some people say "plain MRICS" and then I find out that after they install it, they literally restore their entire DATA partition which brings back their old dalvik cache and other "stale" tidbits. Or they restore their apps and data from Titanium. Even just activating your gmail account on the phone will start a restore process that, sometimes, even installs old stuff (apps) that you didn't even know were being installed.

So... we have to figure out where you are in all of this. First, can you confirm that WiFi is actually turning off by going to Settings, Power, Usage, and seeing if the blue line on the graph is actually broken? If so, you definitely have an app on the phone that is interfering with WiFi. We just have to figure out what it is. Perhaps the best test is this. Back up the phone and then wipe everything. Install MRICS and the first time you boot up, answer "no" or "manual" on everything and uncheck all checkboxes. Do not enter your gmail address or set up the phone. That'll give you just the MRICS apps with nothing else. You can connect to your WiFi but don't do anything else other than use a few of the stock apps. In that state, does WiFi still turn off/on with the screen? Does your battery still drop as fast or does it look better in that state? Once you try that test, you can restore your backup. The info you get on those tests will tell us a lot, either way they turn out.

[HTC EVO 3D] gonk24:
Still having trouble getting a full charge. Superwiped 2x before flash, wiped battery stats at 11%, then plugged it in. Charged 6hrs overnight and was at 76% this morning. Let it go another hour at home, then straight to the car for an hour with no usage. Went up to 78% in those 2 hrs.

Not sure what to do with it. Maybe try charging overnight turned off?
[HTC EVO 3D] woody296:
Really nice rom, everything working great for me. I've got wimax in my area and with my new found love for my 3d i can just wait till the smoke clears from all the evolte, ss3, nexus, bombs to decide if want or need anything better. I think this rom brings the old 3d a lot closer to the new stuff, at least on sprints old network.:D
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
It sounds to me like it thinks you're on USB charge rather than AC charge. Maybe some software is causing it to think you plugged it into a computer? Or a pin got borked on the connector? Sounds too much like a USB (computer) charge rate which is why I bring that up. If the phone things it's plugged into a computer, it'll intentionally charge really slow.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] EindhovenOne:
I superwipe everytime. I do the full data/reset x2, then wipe all partitions x2, then superwipe x2 each time. I know it seems excessive but I always do it to avoid any problems. Then I redownload all of my apps straight from the market, never restoring anything from TB or otherwise. I will give your method of troubleshooting a try right now and see what is going on,

I do know that I haven't added any new apps recently that would have deviated from the setup I have had on any of the past 6-7 versions of MRICS and I have always been stable without that crazy drain. In any case, thank you for telling me how to proceed and I will get right on it and report back. Thank you, sir.

-E
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
OK, but I fear it's something you are installing. Make sure you test it (as much as possible) before downloading anything from the market. Since the only thing that changed in the last version is the CPU up-threshold, more battery drain could simply mean that you are installing an incompatible app that goes rogue and eats CPU. On 2.2, the CPU throttle was only being mashed halfway to the floor when this happens. Now in 2.3, you've got full throttle so you notice the rogue CPU hog affecting battery more. Anyway, that's my guess since most of the rest of us aren't experiencing the huge difference you're seeing.

Alright then... report when you can, and thanks.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] EindhovenOne:
Thanks, Mike. Sorry to backup the thread with a dialogue, but can you or someone else recommend an app that tells which running app is using how much of the CPU? I have never had this issue so I don't even know where to start looking for something that fits the bill...

I have seen other use Better Battery Stats to track down rogue apps. I have not tried it myself, though I have read of others having success with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Checkout OS Monitor for real time usage, which sorts current processor usage by task, or SystemPanel Standard if you want to track battery consumption by task, both in the Play Store. SystemPanel Lite will give some real time information but doesn't have the history feature. BetterBatteryStats is also pretty good and there's a free version available on XDA.

I would guess you need to do at least a wipe from the recovery menu (aka full factory reset). I didn't use the "super wipe" script people refer to when I came from a GB rom to ICS, I just did the factory reset.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The beats .zip files in the MeanROM-ICS folder only update file(s) in the /system/framework directory to allow compatibility with beats. You still need to flash another mod to get the actual beats modifications. The bassini mod that has been posted several times in this thread will work, and there may be other mods available for ICS/Sense 3.6 that only flash beats.

[HTC EVO 3D] rigmort:
Thanks Knox. One more question: if I do the wire trick for s-off, do I also need to downgrade my hboot to 1.4 after that?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
No you don't. The JuopunutBear (wire trick) S-OFF method gives you a choice of the stock 1.50 bootloader or a custom JuopunutBear 1.50.5050 bootloader, both of which work just as well and are more current than the downgraded 1.4 bootloader.

If you are using 4EXT, you should make sure that you have RC4 or higher, since versions before that force S-ON (SmartFlash) in the recovery for HBoot 1.5 users and you don't want that once you are S-OFF.
