[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
EDIT: the issue below is fixed: i un-paired and re-paired and it began working. not sure why it doesn't do it right the first time. i was talking about a plantronics voyager pro if anyone is curious.

original post:

bluetooth question- on some roms i can initiate voice commands from my bluetooth headset by pressing and holding the headset's button. also i can redial by double-tapping the headset button. this doesn't seem to work for me on the latest version of evervolv. does it work for anyone else? did it ever?

(just for background, bluetooth pairs fine and phone audio (and media audio) work fine through BT headset. also voice commands work fine when not using BT.)
[EVO 4G Original Development] Kman355:
Well picture messaging still doesn't work, no multi tasking and my battery is being drained. Anyone else?
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
MMS works fine for me. Not sure what multi-tasking means. And I can get a day out of a stock battery with moderate use.

The issue I *do* have is sound:

I am observing the same issues on 3/10 nightly, and the same workarounds seem to apply.

Well they did fix the phone FC, but the sounds problems did not go away. So there goes that theory.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Kman355:
Didn't mean tasking, meant touch. I keep messing up without multi touch. But the battery I kinda understand, I'm on 2 years without a replacement at all and it's constantly being charged and used. But this mms thing I don't understand. It's says new message in the notification bar like a text with attachment would, but when I open it, it just disappears.
[EVO 4G Original Development] iamonyx:
i feel like a bit of an idiot right now. i'm on the 3/15 nightly, and can't seem to figure out where to enable system vibration. it isn't under the sound options. pretty much, when setting the notification settings in GO SMS, it doesn't vibrate and gives me a message about how system vibration is disabled. anyone know how to turn this on? i've never come across this issue before in any of the previous nightlies (was on 2/18 prior)
[EVO 4G Original Development] taadow1030:
Do you mean haptic feedback?
[EVO 4G Original Development] iamonyx:
no. this is notification vibrations. which is what is weird about the whole thing. i know i can enable vibration in the default messaging app. but when using go sms, i have to disable notifications in the default messaging app so i don't get dual notifications. but either way, i still get the message in GO SMS saying that system vibration is disabled, and it wont vibrate when a new text message comes in... even though it is set to.
[EVO 4G Original Development] I Like Soup:
I must say, the 3.16 nightly is burning through my battery something fierce. Several times I've caught it going from ~70's or 80's down to around 15% within an hour. And I don't see anything notable running that should be doing this.
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
3/12 wasn't too hot either see attached. (Black dome kernel FWIW)

Technically the battery made it a day, but from a usability standpoint, basically half the battery was used up in a one hour browsing session.
[EVO 4G Original Development] HunterZ0:
Anyone know why per-process "battery usage data isn't available"? I've had sudden, unexplained battery drops with this ROM as well, and it would help to know if it's a specific program/process that is responsible.
[EVO 4G Original Development] copekyle:
I originally switched to this ROM because I wanted to give it more functionality in my Ford Sync System. When I first flashed, it was the 2/13 and it allowed the Message Access Protocol (MAP) that I was looking for. I have been flashing nightlies since that moment and when all the changes came about for 4.2.2, I lost almost all functionality in Sync. I can still use bluetooth calling and and bluetooth stereo (which the stock evo did)but I have lost the MAP and the ability for my Sync system to recognize Pandora on my phone and control the application. So can anyone tell me what changed between 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 in the bluetooth stack that broke things for my Sync system? Is there any way to take the exact bluetooth from 4.2.1 and integrate it into 4.2.2? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I like this ROM but this is a deal breaker. :(

Thanks

I thought 3/16 was pretty good for battery life... Until this happened:

Within an hour I went from making it thru the day, to "Holy crap where's my charger?!"

Granted I'm on stock battery that's a year and a half old, but jeeeeeze lol. All I did was use Instagram and then XDA. Beyond that I'm using BlackDome SBC kernel on AssWax 998/max and I do have the Seeder APK running. Maybe one of those is to blame?
[EVO 4G Original Development] TroNit:
Im not running evervolv but still evervolvs base I using blackdome SBC, battery looks good for me.

Using badass 998 / deadline
[EVO 4G Original Development] chrisstl:
Thanks for the tip! I'll give the badass governor a try. Also think I just need to go ahead and order a new battery as well because that's probably the main issue. Oh and I removed seeder because I couldn't notice much of a difference with it running or not.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Graphic Anomaly:
Anyone have really low notification volume? All other sounds are normal. I can go into notifications and every one of them is extremely low volume. I switch to ringtones, and they are loud...really weird.

This is with a clean install, and I have never plunged in a headset.

I'm on 3/13 nightly.

[EVO 4G Original Development] iamonyx:
same on the 3/15 nightly. i found holding down the power button and changing the sound option to vibrte, then silent, then back to vibrate, then back to regular fixes it (at least until reboot)
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
I think something happened to the base build recently that impacts Evo battery life.

I just dirty-flashed back to 3/9 and things got better for me.

Kman355 first complained of battery drain on 3/14 and more have spoken up since then. Then again kman355 may have just been commenting on poor battery life of JB ROMs generally. We didn't have multiple users complaining about this until the 3/16 nightly. I know 3/10 was fine. I was looking at the changelogs between 3/10 and 3/16 and nothing jumped out at me. Most of the commits have been specifically aimed at other phones. I saw a few things in the 3/11 changelog that might be general enough to affect Evo users?

Note 3/9 is a good milestone for Evo users since it fixed the Phone crashing issue.
[EVO 4G Original Development] copekyle:
I can confirm that I am on the 3/10 nightly and have not experienced any battery issues. With everyone experiencing them, it made me actually go check to see what nightly I was on because I haven't noticed a problem at all.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Graphic Anomaly:
Somehow while playing around and picking sounds, it just fixed itself. Not sure if I went to vibrate and back again...could be it. I'll reboot and see if it sticks.

EDIT: Just rebooted, and its still loud. Guess its gone now... weird.

Does anyone use PDANet?

I can get bluetooth tethering working but not wired USB tethering. ("err=82" , google turns up nothing.)
[EVO 4G Original Development] zacnking:
I did on cm7 but since have just used wireless tether a random one but works fine
[EVO 4G Original Development] I Like Soup:
I went back to the 3/10 nightly and my battery is back to normal with everything else seemingly fine.
[EVO 4G Original Development] chrisstl:
Same here. Only wiped system, caches, + boot partitions 3 times and then reflashed 3/10, BlackDome SBC Kernel, and latest gapps. All my apps/data persisted and I haven't had any wild battery % drops. :thumbup:
[EVO 4G Original Development] copekyle:
I hate bumping my own post but can no one shed any light on this?
[EVO 4G Original Development] maherov:
I'm actually interested in this as well. Got a new car and i have very minimal control on music applications.
[EVO 4G Original Development] I Like Soup:
This issue has just cropped up this morning, oddly. It was working fine yesterday and this morning I noticed a notification via the LED and not the sound.

I've tried this to no avail as of yet. I'll keep messing with it and see what happens. I went back to the 3/10 nightly to address the battery issues I was having. Of course, I'm still getting random reboots, but that doesn't bother me so much.
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
Looks like FM radio and flashlight ( "torch" ) support is in latest nightly (plus something about Bluetooth audio system?). As always I won't be sure these apply to Evo users until I actually flash it which I am not in a hurry to do right at the moment..
[EVO 4G Original Development] copekyle:
So my phone automatically updated to the newest Gapps today(4.3.2). The gmail application does not work and it seems like my market is not recognizing my account either. I uninstalled the updates and it still wouldn't update my marketplace or email account. Had to delete apps and reflash in recovery. So just a heads up, don't let your phone auto-update these apps.

EDIT:::

I am an idiot... this happened at the same time I changed a password that is somehow linked to my email password. I had no idea I changed my email password until even my Thunderbird was broken... then I knew we had a real problem! haha
[EVO 4G Original Development] blz_phnx:
Lol
[EVO 4G Original Development] blz_phnx:
Has anyone flashed new nightly to confirm torch?
[EVO 4G Original Development] justgonecrazy:
Just downloaded the latest nightly and torch works fine.
[EVO 4G Original Development] I Like Soup:
Would you let us know how the battery life is?
[EVO 4G Original Development] Rammv:
Have you tied black dome 2.2 kernel works great with this rom.
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
3/28 seems promising. I haven't been through several charge/discharge cycles mind you, but at least it doesn't lose 2% per minute during heavy interactive use like 3/16 did. And I can already tell it sleeps better: as a very rough comparison 3/16 lost 20% overnight, 3/28 lost 8% ..
[EVO 4G Original Development] HunterZ0:
The changelog at dl.evervolv.com shows nothing since 3/25. Is the changelog broken, or have there been no changes to the daily ROMs since then?
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
Changelogs have been broken lately, but that doesn't mean no changes have been happening.

Check out http://review.evervolv.com

The initial view is "open" items that may or may not appear in future builds- not very useful except maybe as an 'early warning system'.

To see commits that *have* been merged into the code base (and therefore affect the nightly builds), click on the link at the top of the page that says "merged".

Loven me some nightly goodness sweet ROM thanks for the daily treats!
[EVO 4G Original Development] something_new:
A few post back someone mentioned that their was no global vibration (sound and vibration for received text) downloaded market app called simple sound profile widget now get both sound and vibrations using go SMS just every once a awhile the sound notification gets routed to the ear price but i still get the vibrate and don't miss revived messages. Currently on 03/28

Edit: if after making or receiving a call the notification sound will get routed to the ear peice speaker all i have to do is push the volume up even tho its at max and notification will return to the loud speaker just have to remember to push volume after every call
[EVO 4G Original Development] :
I'm not one to build 'stock' from source, but I just booted up a stock EV build and it really runs so smooth. Of course, my last nightly was 3/21... But still. I suggest compiling from source for an even better experience.

Yeah, samesies on Cam here. As far as GPS on my end..... It won't lock on me at all. Mind you, i use my device for music and its not carrier serviced.

Open Browser, click the top right corner where it lets you view all your open tabs (may have to scroll up or down for this to show up, it'll be to the right of the address bad), click your menu key, then click "New incognito tab".
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
Somehow I had never used this app until now. The one thing that really jumped out at me after just using the app for a short time was how much network traffic Google Maps was initiating even when I wasn't using the phone. Turns out I had it set to "automatically update your location from this device". Apparently this means like every 5 seconds, I'm not kidding.

Since I'm on wifi most of the time this wasn't really noticeable (other than the tiny arrows that kept showing up in the wifi statusbar icon), but in a bad cell signal area I can see this might have battery implications.

If this behavior bothers you, you can start by turning off that feature. To be really thorough, the thread linked above contains detailed advice on how to make Maps (especially Latitude) stop waking up your phone all the time, specifically see this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29420959&postcount=7059.
[EVO 4G Original Development] I Like Soup:
Do you know if this would mess with the features of Google Now? I really like the thought of having my phone do some of the latest and greatest whizbang stuff, but not at the expense of battery. Then again, I haven't had any battery issues since I went to a different nightly build, but when I travel, this may be a consideration to conserve battery.
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
Well, yes, this is very closely related to the proper functioning of Google Now, and since Google Now is a major reason an Evo user might want to try this (or any JB) ROM, it probably is worth delving into the specifics a little.

I'm pretty sure that the normal sequence of steps that you follow to turn on enough location services for Google Now to run *causes* the "Automatically Update your location from this device" setting to become selected. However I can confirm that subsequently deselecting this setting still allows Google Now to function even while creating less activity in the BBS logs.

For those wondering where this setting lives, this is actually a per-account setting that can be exposed by going to Maps.. Settings.. Location settings.. [Background Location Reporting section].. Report From This Device. Note there is similar item below it that is specific to Latitude. Google Now works fine even if both are deselected.

Honestly I haven't finished researching exactly which location settings are *required* for Google Now.

Certainly one of the required ones is allowing apps to use Google Location Services. (To review, this is is a per-device setting found by going to System Settings.. Location access .. Wi-Fi & mobile network location. This must be checked or Google Now will not work.) I don't know exactly what the battery implications are here if any.

Maybe this conversation shouldn't really be in the evervolv thread (since technically evervolv does not even include any Google apps). But since we're talking about it, I'll just point out Google's business model makes it very desirable (for them) if your handset tells Google its GPS lat/long, what cell site it's in, what wifi access points are nearby, etc, as often as practical without becoming obvious to the end user. So far they must have done a pretty good job choosing default settings that keep battery drain and network chatter below acceptable levels or people would be talking more about this. But the BBS app we are discussing helps shed a little light on how *much* activity we are talking about.

To be clear I am not recommending people just disable these settings.

If in doubt just leave the defaults. They seem to work fine for most people.

I am just pointing out that we are discussing this in the context of a ROM that uses a lot of battery generally, certainly more than the Evo was designed for, so a) it's good to discover hidden sources of possible battery drain when things are working normally and b) the more wakes, the more chances for partial wakelocks when things go wrong. So if you *know* for certain you will never use Maps, Latitude, or Google Now, the page I linked to could be useful. If you *do* want to use some combination of those, you will have to do your own research on how to minimize their impact on battery life.
[EVO 4G Original Development] chrisstl:
The first time I ran BBS was over an 8 hour period while I was sleeping. WiFi, background data, and default location settings were all enabled. When I woke up I was shocked to find out Google maps had woken up my phone somewhere around 480 times... :eek:

I'm having problems running Chrome and Voice on multiple nightly builds. I searched this thread and others for help, but nothing seems to be relevant to my particular problem.

If I open either service by the notification bar or another program, hyperlinks etc., they work fine. However, if I click on the icon it will freeze and reboot the device.

I've tried fixing permissions, wiping data/cache multiple times, crying, and just dealing with it. None of them work. I'm convinced it's a problem with system free space, but that hasn't worked either. Please help guys. I love this rom and I want to continue using it.
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
Some apps (two of which you have obviously encountered) do this if you put their icons in the dock. Are you launching them from the app drawer or the dock? If dock, sorry, no workaround other than 'don't do that'
[EVO 4G Original Development] chrisstl:
Seriously?! So Chrome will work from the app drawer icon, but not in the dock?! :banghead: I did all the same things as the poster who asked this question, and finally gave up on it! Wow... :banghead::banghead:

Lol, this is strange. Going to test as specified and see how it works. I wonder, is this a problem with Nova Launcher or what?
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
Ok moving along:

1)

I tried the 3/31 nightly but netflix doesn't seem to be working despite this commit. Supposedly it fixes things for Evo 3D users but apparently it doesn't do anything for Supersonic. Actually I got "loading" (when trying to play a movie) both *before* and after 3/31. I didn't even know audio ever worked.

2)

I feel like there is an obvious solution to the usual Sprint 9016 SMS issue and I just missed it. I did try manually replacing the MMS system app with a MMS.apk lifted from CM 10.1 but it didn't seem to suppress display of the 9016 messages. (Reminder for you new to this issue using CM builds with Sprint's Visual Voicemail App: you *need* to be able to receive these notifications: the VVM app cannot work without them, so blocking these msgs outright is not an option. you want to be able to get them, you just don't want to have to look at them.) Handcent is usually recommended (at least by everyone who hasn't bailed on Sprint's native VVM app for Google Voice) but I would prefer to use a cleaner approach. deck totally solved this with CM7, not sure what my options are for CM 10 variants.
[EVO 4G Original Development] chrisstl:
I also use Nova Launcher Prime. I just installed Chrome Beta and it initially launched fine, and asked for its usual slew of permissions. When I closed Chrome Beta the first time my phone did a hot reboot, but after that I'm able to use it just fine. Strange... :confused:

I have read each commit carefully since 3/30 and I gotta say there is nothing for supersonic users.

Their has been small things i always look at the file size and the change log just flashed 4/11 and cell broadcast was added being the latest addition, I've noticed some kernel work also, that seems to be making things smoother but it may just be me, heck even flash works with Firefox browser
[EVO 4G Original Development] :
I think the commits from cyanogen were notable, although I didn't see what direction they went in, only caught a glimpse of hardware. But all in all, the 4/11 was still good, for the short time I ran it.
