Re: [ROM] Feb-15 MeanBean v3.06 | 3.16.651.3 | Mods | Batt saver

Yea I was actually just about to say that.

Last I heard the only way to stay on an unlimited plan is to not sign a new contract, which means no subsidized phone. But actually if more manufacturers take note of the nexus 4 and how it constantly sold out for months. That might be doable.

Although better at times inside than ours don't fall for the grass is greener situation when it comes to buildings. It is always situational based on the building type, where you are at inside, and where towers are. We have a 35k sf production facility and in some areas I can get 4G fine, others not. But that holds true for my employees that have VZ, ATT, and TM.

Just a word of caution that everyone's mileage may vary. Our building has portions that are block, and metal with limited windows in the shop areas.

We actually set up wifi through out for our guys so they could keep connections and not have their batteries drain.

Not going to take years. Sprint is going to start repurposing the old iDen spectrum once they shut down Nextel this summer. And they won't be switching over, they will be using both the 1900 and 800 for maximum coverage.

The buildings here in Florida are tough due to the sane reason: hurricane protection. BUT... I had AT&T for years here and as soon as you step inside any building, you'd drop your call with AT&T. As soon as I switched to Sprint, I could hold a signal and talk in the same buildings. Not sure about data, but that's true for all AT&T customers here. They all drop signal in buildings and I walk right by them and never lose a call.

I've been running MeanBean since its first inception. I remember battery life went into the toilet and it was due wakelock issues. It was fixed a few revisions ago and I see that a lot of users are having great battery life. A build or so ago, mine started draining down by end of day at idle.

I just did a factory reset and complete wipe. Reinstalled 3.06. I've been unplugged for 90 minutes and down to 90% already. I installed Android Tuner as suggested by some of your posts. I see repeated wakelocks PER second:

07:24:32.500 PowerManagerService( 594)

acquireWakeLock(4120b770): PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK , tag=NetworkLocationLocator, flags=0x1, pid=1090, uid=10021, mUserState=0x0

Any idea what this process might be about? Can anyone help me out with diagnosis? I see that other people have also mentioned terrible battery life recently but obviously I have no idea if our causes are related.

Hey Mikey, what's your take/first impressions in the new HTC One that's was announced yesterday? Non-removable battery...No SD card...Ultra-pixel camera...sense 5(aka Windows 8 tiles?) Basically, I want to know if you think IT will be your next phone? I LOVE your ROMS sooo much, I'll get whatever your next phone is.

The thing I like the most about the new ONE, HIGHEST resolution when compared to every other high end smartphone currently on the market. My least favorite would be the non-removable battery, I miss never running out of batteries on my EVO3D(I HAD 4 WITH EXTRA CHARGERS!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Looks like a great device. If HTC would release it in full s-off form, I might consider it. But I've said before, with the games HTC plays with their development (s-on crap unlocker, inability to release source code) this may be my last HTC phone. What I don't like about the HTC One is that three capacitive buttons is already not enough. Now they've dropped it to two (back and home) which is a travesty as far as I'm concerned. Also, 720p on a 4.7 inch display is already beyond the limits of human vision. IMO, 1080p is far beyond the limits of human visual acuity and the extra pixels can only cause more battery drain. I like the idea of 4 processors but honestly, I can't think of a single situation where I ever have to wait for my Evo LTE (unless it's from waiting for data on the "not now network"). That said, the HTC One would certainly give you bragging rights. :)

That's my take.

Agreed! I've been with HTC since the start of Android. (G1) I think it's time for a change. But it seems most phones are going to only 3 buttons. I like having a captive menu button... All though they holding of the recent apps/home isn't to bad now that I'm getting used to it.. Lol

Re: [ROM] Feb-15 MeanBean v3.06 | 3.16.651.3 | Mods | Batt saver

Pardon my ignorance on this. But why don't manufacturers get rid of capacitive buttons altogether? I thought that's what was being leaned toward. Just build the capacitive buttons into what's displayed and show them when needed.

Would be much more versatile that way, not to mention customizable. I would prefer more screen and not a bigger sized phone to get it.That's a good half inch of real estate there.

Re: [ROM] Feb-15 MeanBean v3.06 | 3.16.651.3 | Mods | Batt saver

I have always thought that removing all capacitive buttons from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus was a pretty bold move. And sure enough, they put them back onto the S3. They are moving towards on screen buttons, but I don't know if EVERYBODY is ready to accept it.

I, for one, like having my buttons on the bottom of my phone instead of on screen. But my tablet has no capacitive buttons, and my experience with on screen button wasn't nearly as much of an adjustment as I'd expected. Not everyone will feel the same as I do, though.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
The main problem is you lose screen real estate doing this. Without the capacitive buttons, part of the resolution of your screen now has to be used to display soft buttons. So now instead of having a true 1080p screen that is 1080 x 1920, some games/videos/browsers, etc will be 1080 x 1820 with the bottom 1/4 inch of your screen reserved to display soft buttons like the three line menu button, back, etc. So now you have to squeeze/crop full 1080p videos into something less than 1080p when streaming the video due to the screen real estate taken up by the buttons on the screen. If they made screens slightly taller to compensate (say 1080 x 2020) where the bottom ~100 (additional) pixels is reserved for the soft buttons, that'd solve the issue. But they don't, so as soon as you eliminate the capacitive buttons, we'll be overwhelmed with requests for "how to I get rid of the big bulbous back and menu buttons in my browser/game so it can use the full screen resolution?"

Edit: the touch panel on all of these phones is already one solid piece that is addressable past the bottom blackout and all the way down to (and past) the capacitive buttons. So all they'd have to do is extend the LCD screen beyond the blackout where the bottom ~100 (additional) pixels is addressable for "soft capacitive buttons". It would work exactly as it does now but instead of having "cutouts" behind "virtual hard buttons", there would be a (for example) 1080 x 100 LCD sliver separate from the screen where you could display any icon you like: Menu, Home, Back, Recent, Restart, Power off, Silent... whatever! Now THAT would be a real solution! Not only would that solve the capacitive button issue, but it'd solve the button brightness/light bleed problem! Only problem is it'd be a custom HTC thing... probably not usable by AOSP/AOKP ROMs.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bsober:
Oh more promises (lies) of networks that don't materialize? How long is everyone willing to keep paying for services you don't have and promises (lies)? Come on, everyone has a faster service than Sprint. So they have caps. We all should be masters at using wifi, and should be able to live within the cap. At least when away from wifi you could load a webpage. Unlimited usage on a network that doesn't work? What's that?

I swear Sprint has to be laughing at us, the gullible ones to continue with them. Granted I'd pay $500 for the Sammy S3 up front, but I can also then get truly all unlimited 4g and phone calls for $45 a month. Could use the $10 a month Sprint charges for whatever reason they do and put that towards the new plan which would allow me a 2Gig per month hot spot.

I loved playing with the phones the last few years, but I now have the Evo for sale and am jumping to a new carrier with a phone I can actually use.

Well EVERYONE isn't waiting and/or paying for service they don't get!! My entire area is blanketed in 4G LTE. I get 30mbps download sitting on my bed! Burning through over 30gb a month is not uncommon at all for me. And EVERYONE doesn't have faster service than Sprint. Actually, Verizon is the only decent carrier in my area. AT&T and T-Mobile absolutely suck where I live. Verizon is decent, but doesn't have the coverage OR speeds of Sprint. Lots of dropped calls with Verizon and their LTE speeds are at best about half as fast as Sprint's.

I guess I can kinda understand the frustration for those who don't get LTE, but was your area covered in LTE when you bought this phone!? No, it wasn't. Everyone knew what they were getting before they got it. Period. End of story. Blaming others for a decision you made isn't going to help anything. If it makes you feel better about yourself, then I feel sorry for you.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
About right. If one fell in my lap at no cost to me, I'd probably switch over to it. That said, I think it prudent to wait and see how it goes the first couple weeks after release. How easy will s-off be? How will the lack of removable SD card affect things? Now when someone gets stuck with nothing but bootloader access when something goes wrong with flashing and they happen to have a PJ75IMG.zip on their SD card, we tell them to pull the SD card out and delete it on the computer so you can get back to the bootloader. What will we do when you can't remove it? I guess there are other phones with no SD card slot and maybe those have better bootloaders where you can break out of the firmware load without needing to pull the card. Right now... lots of unknowns. The biggest deal breaker for me is another step backward on the capacitive buttons. Going from 4 to 3 was bad enough. 2 is ridiculous. It's not enough. The touch panel can support any number you want so why remove them? To be more like an iPhone?

Yeah, I feel a bit taken on that one, although I was always taught "don't pay the contractor until they've finished the work" so lesson learned: I won't be falling for any more Sprint "candy". When I got the LTE, I actually went to Sprint to cancel my contract to go with Verizon because Sprint service (around last August) got so bad the phones were almost unusable. The store talked me out of it by telling me that the reason for the bad signal was they are upgrading ALL the Sprint towers in our area getting ready for LTE and they were just about at the point of completion where they were going to switch on LTE. I looked it up and sure enough, my area was scheduled for December and all the other areas were getting done a month ahead of schedule so their story seemed plausible. So I decided to stay. Now it's almost March and not a word about any LTE service since last October. All the evidence pointed to the Sprint store's story being accurate and then it just dropped like a lead balloon. All those towers going down one by one, then coming back up. For nothing.

Curious wock locks

Good morning!

I've been methodically tracking down the reason behind the wake locks I've been having.

Two days ago I turned off all sync, wifi and BT. The device was very quiet and was in deep sleep constantly.

Yesterday I turned wifi back on and the only time the phone was awake was when I had the screen on.

I set the sleep mode on WIFI to never. I started noticing that WIFI would come on with the screen off and device would wake up briefly at the beginning of a wifi connection and again at the end when the connection closed.

Is it normal for wifi to wake the device up regularly when there is no usage or sync going on?

How can I find out what application is causing the wifi usage?

Hopefully somebody out there has been through this too. I just couldn't find any references when I searched for it.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EvoN00b:
It's a simple matter of Sprint making people pay for something they never get. It's real simple, I shouldn't have to pay for LTE service unless the area I live in actually HAS LTE service, which it STILL doesn't after numerous promises that it would be here "soon."

It doesn't matter if my area had LTE when I bought the phone. I bought the phone based on being told we were getting LTE and I was promised up and down we were getting it soon, that was in last March...guess what still no LTE. Same **** happened on my OG EVO. So basically I've spent ~ $250+ on a service I've never seen. That's major BS and IMO pretty much theft.

It sounds like you are talking about the $10 premium data charge, that is not an LTE charge or a Wimax charge. That is a smartphone charge plain and simple and always has been. No dumb phones or flip phones or crap ass phones pay this fee. The additional fee is charged because it is assumed that someone with a smartphone will use more data than someone with a flip phone. This charge helps keep data unlimited. I would much rather pay $10 a month for an expected more data usage charge than pay for tiered data like others charged, I know how you feel about not having 4g, but no where is this fee indicated that it is a charge for 4g. I don't have 4g at my house, but my 3g speeds have always been great, usually around 2mb up and 1mb down. After 4 years of having a 4g Sprint phone I'm excited that Memphis area is finally starting to get LTE around town. About 7% of the city has it now and hopefully I'll see it at my house soon. The speeds some are reporting are amazing. I haven't seen more than 9mb down on LTE yet but looking forward to finally crushing those speeds as the build out continues.
