Which games?

I'm playing a fair bit of Strikefleet Omega and haven't noticed any lagging. I've played a little Dungeon Hunter and didn't notice anything there either, but could try going further into the game. Same with Nun Attack. I'm glad to try another one or two to test.

Battery

(I just realized I quoted the wrong person)

"Has anyone figured out a solution to the battery drain issue? This is killing me. I used to be able to get a day and a half on a charge, now I'm plugging in around 3pm."

I posted the question several days ago, and have spent a lot of time trying to establish what the big drainer for me was, and I believe that it was WiFi (which I am not fully understanding).

My "Connections Optimizer" setting is "OFF" but I found that when leaving my home (or any other site where I had WiFi set in the phone) it would start running the sync for minutes at a time which would burn through 5-10% of the battery. My usage/history would show that the phone was "awake" for a long duration of time even with the screen off. Yesterday I manually disabled WiFi when leaving my home for work at 6:15am and manually re-engaged it at about 5:30pm after getting home from work. EVO didn't touch a charger until 11:30pm and I still had 43ish% battery remaining.

I'm not a super heavy user, but I took calls throughout the day, texts, a couple of manual FB checks, a few checks on XDA, and have two email accounts set to "smart sync".

I didn't think to take a screen of my history yesterday, but I will do it tonight and re-post. This is more the battery life that I was accustomed to with my EVO.

Oh, and I am s-ON, version 2.3 MeanBean if that counts for anything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] egooch:
I completely forgot to turn off google now. Thanks for the reminder. For a half day, i'm talking about from 6am until about 3pm. I guess that's 15 hours and i'm sitting around 30% with modest use on the phone: email, phone calls, no games. I used to go home around 5, and would plug my phone in at 10 every night, even though it didn't always need it. I can't even make it to the end of the work day now.

I turned google now off. We'll see how today goes.

My battery life was amazing until I started playing Ingress! Damn those enlightened! :banghead:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
Haha, now i am confused. Are you saying from 6:15am to 11:30PM and are at 43% is bad? That pretty good if you ask me. The gentleman wanted a magic fix for his battery drain without any information. Any number of things could be killing the battery.

all threads need this sticky:

BATTERY DRAIN???

1.Turn off Google Now, Google Now is the Devil!!!

2. Turn off WiFi when not in use.

3. Uncheck Facebook live sync

Report back once these are done

Thank you :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NeuroticHitman:
I think that you are misunderstanding me. 43% after that long of a day is AWESOME! I am quite pleased with the improvement that I noticed. I was merely stating that the WiFi was what was killing my battery and to make sure that it is off. No harm no foul.

Google Now--ALWAYS OFF

WiFi--Manual

FB--Manual

Thank YOU.

Just thought I'd add my $.02. I'm on on meanbean 2.31 and I travel from Pittsburgh to Ohio (50 min trip) twice a day. I've been testing this since 2.3. I've had 0 issues with nav. None. I have an AWESOME connection the entire way. I pull about 2.3mbs down on 3g. Perhaps lack of a good connection is why some people are experiencing problems and others aren't?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bennyboy78:

Hey guys.

Long time user of XDA, but I've never needed to really post anything until now.

Mikey, I LOVE this ROM, but ever since the update to 1.9, my bluetooth has stopped working correctly. It'll connect to other bluetooth devices, but when it comes time to take a phone call, the audio completely cuts out and my phone sorta hangs... it takes a minute to press anything on the screen and if my bluetooth is connected, I can have the call come through the speakerphone, but not through the phone headset or the bluetooth headset.

Any suggestions on what to do? My phone is as stock as you made it; no extra apps or anything of that nature... although I did uninstall the Google Books, Movie, and Plus apps... but I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Hixman:
Or, Menu/Settings/Wifi/Menu/Advanced change 'keep WiFi on during sleep' from always to 'only when plugged in' or 'never'
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eddy0090:
Is there any way to turn off haptic feedback in the calculator app? Can't seem to find a way to disable it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
When I test mine I am on a WiFi and what I do is put in an address, then it sets a route. At the top you can hit the street in green and it will go turn by turn. At some point it just stops responding and either closes or I have to close it myself.

I have also tested it while driving and it does the same thing after a couple of minutes.

I did a complete clean install last night, installed '0' apps or any theme and started Maps, searched an address and navigated to it. Same result. I even just used Nav and the same result.

Telnav works flawlessly but I really don't care for Telnav

Hello, Just dropping in while I'm at work. I'm wondering if anyone is seeing an increase in dropped data connections on the latest build. I realize that it my be due to upgrades here in Nashville but it has really increased the past week or so.

Thanks for anyone that has a minute to comment and if its an old subject, sorry. I'm a couple of weeks behind on the tread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nivarm09:
How did you get those icons our what theme are you using?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
Hey Mikey -

FWIW, I updated my version of Power Toggles today and it now correctly supports the reboot features (restart, recovery, etc) - I know that some of us stated that this wasn't working before and I know that we can update this ourselves but I know how you are about wanting things to work correctly, so thought I'd mention it.

Keep up the great work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Mikey has answered this a few times.

1. JB uses a bit more battery than ICS

2. Google Now adds to drain. If you don't use it, turn it off.

3. Wifi on all the time takes a percentage of the battery. If you are not in a Wifi zone, disable it, as well as seeking for a weak or nonexistent connection can drain battery too.

4. A weak 3g or 4g signal can drain battery, as the phone uses juice searching for a crappy (Mikey's words) signal.

5. Avoid any non-MeanBean mods

6. If you use Facebook, turn off contact sync, or limit it to one day.

7. Until a source drops, there won't be any new kernel modifications.

8. Mike's updates will always be roughly 600mb.

9. Yes you can dirty flash, but clean is always recommend if you have issues.

Hopefully I guessed any additional questions you might have.

;)

Good luck!

No 4g by me, buy my 3g is no better or no worse. Check to see if sprint is updating service in your area. My guess is yes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AndrasLOHF:
Mine was acting the same way last week. I had just rooted and installed MeanBean the weekend before and thought I must have botched something in the process. This past weekend my texting and phone service was especially horrible. Much to my surprise yesterday as I was driving home I noticed I was connected to a 4G signal now. =)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
Yes, Settings>Sounds>"Vibrate feedback"

Uncheck that....In my opinion, haptic feedback is just something else that adds to a phones battery drain, so why not just turn it off.......:good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
This does not disable haptic feedback in the calculator app just FYI - I too, have noticed this but I don't use the calculator that often so don't really care that much.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
My bad, your right.. I never really use it either.....I guess theres no turning off the feedback for the calc......

Not really a fan of holding down the home button and getting power options, is there a way I can change it back to Google Now?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ambassadordave:
Just to add to this, I did a complete clean stock install this morning. I used xHausx's stock rooted Rom, factory reset wipe in TWRP, then skipped all account setup (accepted Google location items) upon boot. I ran Maps as the first app, searched for my destination and selected navigation. Full crash to Sense within moments, far worse than the patch Mikey gave us to try yesterday.

If Mikey's done trying, then it's time to call Sprint and register this issue until they, HTC, or Google releases a fix. This issue isn't MeanRom related, although I really appreciate Mikey's efforts to resolve it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
We already have Google Now accessible via half press of the camera button. So the long press of home was already a duplicate. If you want to turn it off, see post 3.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
I totally know it's not Meanbean related. It's happening on all sorts of phones that got a JB update. It's a waiting game or go back to ICS.

Unfortunately, you're one of the many people who suffers from battery drain, or a battery-time much worse than ICS. Until source drops, or someone can get rid of wakelocks like HS_MGR, your not going to have many options.

While I hate to admit defeat, I couldnt take it any more. Battery drain, GPS, problems, FC's, proximity sensors etc. While I didnt experience all of those at any one time (except for poor battery), it was always something. Weather its MB, or SuperJelly, or any other ROM; its the JB OS not the ROMS fault.

Flashed back to MR6.5.2 yesterday and I couldnt be happier. Great battery life, no hiccups, and all of the features from ICS that didnt carry over to JB.

Im sure JB will get sorted out eventually, but I can wait. Until then, I have an awesome phone again :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] egooch:
All this was already done except for the Facebook sync. I will shut that down and report back. I have only made 1 phone call today, unplugged my phone at 6AM this morning, and am already down to 46% (it's 2:30 PM). Been in meetings all day, so very few texts, and no gaming or web browsing whatsoever. Thanks for the advice. We'll see what happens.

Beats is working fine in 2.4, including the headset selection and sound enhancer settings. Are you flashing anything else?

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
BTW, this was what convinced me to go fapple. I still have a slight preference to have all the associations visible/changeable in one place (app associations). Problem is, they don't work right. I even tried to fix the above (by adding youtu.be links and such) but like most of the linkify stuff, it's spread all over the place and not easy to fix so it actually works right. I decided enough is enough. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kalvan:
Mike: In version 2.0 you increased the sound volume, is there anyway that this could be customized? I find that the new volume is much too loud when using my headphones (Sennheiser HD 201). I often have to keep the media volume at only one or two settings above muted and occasionally I'll run across a song where even at the lowest volume setting, it is still too loud.

I just tried my Beats and it's working fine on my end. Did you do a dirty or clean install? I was able to go to Settings/Sound/Sound Enhancer and change the Beats to whatever Profile I wanted. Great work on getting us Fapple back and the long press home screen option Mikey. You rock dude!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smegma2004:
I thought I was the only one that happened to! I would recomend flashing the no camers wake and no camera search from within the rom. the button being pressed all the time was killing my battery. then I took a very sharp knife and was able to pry the button up from the side it was jambed on and now it works fine. Good luck to you, hopefully you will be abke to get it unstuck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
If you are dropping that fast, it has to be a week signal issue. Put your phone in airplane mode for an hour and see if you still get a big drop. If you don't than that confirms its signal related and not program related. If you are in buildings all day with metal roofs or reinforced concrete you will get significant battery drop. Unfortunately there is no fix for that except a different carrier.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
The usefulness of the camera button is reduced quite a bit if you don't have a case. With a case, it's perfect, but if you run naked, it gets pressed too often (easy now). ;)

Hopefully we have enough options to make most people happy but that's why the options are there: we all use our phones a bit differently.

BTW, my efforts to fix the Google Nav issues were a FAIL. Only thing that seemed to help just a couple people was the raised heap sizes so I left those in. The last logcat I got via PM showed maps trying to load a java object that was 1.3 gigabytes! Maybe someone more familiar with the GL stuff could look through the code and find a fix but for me, it's a needle in a haystack. It's definitely a problem where it just tries to load impossibly large amounts of data (tiles) and then crashes due to out of memory errors. It's like certain circumstances just cause the nav software to try to load gargantuan data chunks without regard to memory. Gotta be a bug in either Maps or HTC's software. Don't know which.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Mike, did you revert the memory changes for maps/nav in the current version (2.4)? I'm running 2.0 still and no map/nav issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I addressed that in the post right above yours. The only change I kept was the larger heap sizes since those won't hurt anything and appeared to help a couple people.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Mikey,

Thanks for trying to fix the navigation, wish it would have helped. I guess I'll just use telenav. While testing your latest attempt it failed often, so I tried just driving around with maps open and no nav. Maps ran flawlessly the whole time updating my position and scrolling the map as I drove down the highway at 70mph. Never choked once, then I activated nav and utility immediately crashed. Oh well, hopefully Google will fix it.

Sent from my fast as hell phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Tell me a little about telenav. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info on it. Does it do most of what Google Nav does? Does it speak road names? Can you turn the screen off and it'll still give voice commands like Google Nav? What about if you switch to another app: does it still speak directions? Someone texted me while I was using Google Nav last week and I handed the phone to a passenger to reply. While she was replying, Google Nav kept speaking directions. Didn't know if Telenav will do all that. If it's good, maybe I'll just bake it into the ROM since it's free.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] obperryo:
Love the long press back to sleep... sweep left to right would be the perfect compliment... :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bennyboy78:
Personally I never use telenav since it isn't near as good as google nav. Last time I used it, it got me lost,tons of probe, etc. Maybe its a come long way in two years though
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eepyikes:
Sorry, just want to put in my 2 cents on the long-press back to sleep and long-press home power menu...we already have a power button for that. Adding multiple ways to do the same thing causes mucho confusion and is just sort of lamesauce. Also ends up in a lot of accidental happenings. That whole "in-between" buttons volume control in meanrom was a ballbuster that should have never existed, baby.

Awesome rom though, really enjoying it!

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Concerning Nav: used it this weekend for a trip and had a couple issues with the audio. I had an audiobook playing in Winamp (or in Play), and sometimes when Nav would announce a turn, it would crash Winamp or Play completely. If I used N7 media player, the audio glitched during the turn announcement. Basically, there's something whack with the audio server and I don't know if its Meanbean or just a sense/android bug. Anyways, just putting it out there...

Mike, I've been using Telenav free version for about 2 years and have no problem with it at all. Don't know if it's better than Google cause I've never used Google. It speaks with screen on or off and I have checked email and used phone without having to restart or it losing its place. Just my .02 ....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Everyone has an opinion which is why they are options. If they confuse you, just turn them off. Personally, I hate having to literally claw the phone, mashing the power button for 2 seconds to get the power menu. That's a great way to wear out the power button! It's nice to be able to just lightly press the home button to eliminate all the vice gripping.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Traceamount:
I have to respectfully disagree. Long press home is amazing and keeps from wearing out the power button prematurely. (Like other mods, camera button to wake for instance) Also, I personally can't WAIT to see the "in-between" buttons to return with sweep2wake. All the options (and them being optional thanks to Mike) are the whole idea of having a custom OS. Keep up the great work Mike!

- As for people with battery issues, mine seemed to take a bit longer than it used to, to "settle in", that and with google now off, and the power saver/app notification off, was getting pretty damn good life in my experience.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] obperryo:
I agree it can get too confusing, but you gave options to set. I did not like the in-between either.

But, it is real nice to just left to right sweep to wake when it's laying on the table and not even have to pick it up - I used it all the time in the prev ROM.

I never use the power button to turn it off... have always used Screen Off in the market. The long press back was a bonus to me, now I have an extra available spot.

hey not sure if this may help anyone with issues but it helped me with various issues on multiple different ROMs

i use twrp for all my devices and even my OG Evo although i had flashed with at least 3 different utilities

anyway even tho i use twrp recovery i also installed clockwork mod but i only installed it from market i dont flash it as the recovery but ill then run the Fix Permissions tab ... it takes aprox 2 minutes or more to run but it has improved many various issues from FC's to overall glitchy on multiple ROMs ( could be my over active imagination tho ) ... Twrp has that in the advanced tab but runs and completes in less than a second CWM seems to actually fix permissions ( if only i could run it on my wife )

anyway just thought id share and i apologize if i shouldnt have posted this

now to flash this latest Update
