Alright I updated the recovery img to 1.6.2 and then reverted to stock 1.5 fw, which boots fine. Once again I preformed all wipes in the options as well as the uid fix and then ran the flash. It now just shows the black htc screen and hasn't changed in about an hour. every now and then it will restart back to the black htc screen and not proceed further. also I have seen people mention they have problems with app2sd but I am not currently nor have I ever used it. any ideas as to what could be going wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
Sorry to hear your having these issues. Waiting an hour? man thats persistance. Reminds me of myself. We gotta get you goin' here:D

1st Try the boot w/o being plugged in. This can be a problem during initial setup...

2nd Get back to me in pm or here, ill be looking for you.

3rd Appreciate the persistance. I support all my stuff 100%, and i wont give up till you do:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pandam00nium:
Same issue here. I can't get it to load up. I've tried multiple sd cards, wiped and fixed the uid many times. It just stays stuck at the black HTC screen. :/ Oddly enough it happens when I try the Fresh Toast rom as well. Only DamageControl boots up properly. I have no idea why this occurs, but I guess I give up since it's a headache to deal with.

This rom looked very nice too. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
I have a question about OC Roms... this one in particular...

Is it OC'd by default or do I HAVE to run one of the 2 pre-installed widgets to get it to OC? If the widget has to be running, does it have to be on my home screen or is it just run it one time, then save settings in it and never have to run it again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] meth84:
1st problem in 3 days set oc widget to screen off 245-3something locked phone up.....wouldnt even load sprint....restarted several times and upped clock to no screen all in 500s and bam works great again.......lol so guess only problems ive had is its a hero and not a evo lol...thanks again for the rom...loading the beta version now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
I hear you since it takes so long to load. Well sorry your having dificulties. Are you on the beta or the original btw?

Toast Kernel is set to a safe default. Lower than stock for obvious reasons. You need to set up an oc widget if you wish to manipulate clock speed.

Yeah, mine wont run 768 for some reason, while most everyone else can. But i KNOW thats not the rom soooooo............all i can say is t&e:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] meth84:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
right on. appreciate the prompt and accurate feedback:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pandam00nium:
I've tried both. The lengthy booting normally occurs after the black htc screen right? With DC and I believe Fresh roms they appeared to load up after the sprint/white htc screen. I've waited around 10-15 minutes at the black screen.

I've tried various roms from these forums and I can't get any of them to load other than DC 2.8.1. I've created new partitions on the sd card, wiped all the necessary things and fixed the uid. Is there anything else I'm missing here? Cause I didn't have issues with old fresh roms. Creating a new partition gets rid of the whole a2sd issue right?

So something's a bit fishy if DC is the only rom that wants to boot properly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrclark5688:
Still no go with the phone not plugged in and once again reverted to stock which boots fine and had no problem with damage control as others have said. I'll try to flash some other find and see if I have any problems with those but Ive gone from stock to modacos 1.5 to damage control with no issues

Re: [ROM]DamageR_5.0 a.k.a F1n1$h3R(

Just download the beta. So far so good. I had already pushed the fb and calendar apk's. So far no spontaneous reboots, which was an issue earlier today.

Thanks again for sharing your amazing work. By far the best rom I have used.

You may need a donate button:)

Just want to say awesome rom and i'm currently downloading the beta taking forever people must be swammping the server lol but just waiting for the download to finish so i can test for ya and see if i can't help some one out like all the great guys and gals on here have helped me. i noticed there seems to be alot of problems with a2sd and i know from expericene that if you try to flash 2.7 over treve dconfig you'll get a boot loop due to treve uses 2.5 and it clashes with 2.7 for some reason (not sure what it is but it's a problem) hope that helps some one

you might have one of those heros that dont like to be overclocked to 768mhz try the 710mhz [KERNEL]Toast-godmode OC .29 kernel for DamageControl/based roms that might help you out. my problem is here app2sd was putting it...maybe try wiping card clean and starting over

The battery is is very poor. I'm not exactly sure why that's the case since the EVO doesn't report the screen as a large draw. For example, I unplug my EVO, connect my Bluetooth headset and listen to a podcast for 10 minutes. That drains the battery to 92% from a full charge.

You will most likely have to carry a spare battery to get through the day, with light usage.

I'm hoping its an optimization issue and they can fix the battery issue with an update. Fingers crossed.

hmm, alright i mean this is big for a person who is out 24-7. (arnt we all) i wonder if it has to do with anything similar to what the hero had when it was released.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ministersin:
My battery life is not perfect. But people always have this problem. I was a G1 owner and everyone complained about the battery life when it first came out. And then slowly after a mont or two everybody stopped...why? Because the battery life got better with time. From 5 hours or so to 9 or 10 hours.

Then I went to an HD2. The first week I was so scared I had made a huge mistake because the battery would last about 4 or 5 hours. After I did as suggested and let the battery completely burn out and then completely recharge for about three cycles, the HD2 had the best battery I had ever seen. i could use it for 2 days and have 60% left.

Now I have an Evo. And the first stay (with constant use) it died after about 4.5 hours. But I am going through the process of draining and then FULL recharge of 6-8 hours and I'm sure it will be fine.

People think they plug the phone in an hour or two and it says 100% and they have charged it. My opinion is that it takes the battery a while to know what 100% and 0% are on any given battery. After it cycles through a few times it will actually have a true accounting of the battery life, power consumption.

That is all my opinion and experience. I am hoping the EVO has a similar battery life to the HD2. That would be perfect for me.

EDIT: And as for lag....the guy is obviously on crack and just saying stuff to say stuff. I doubt he even has an EVO. He's reading about Sense Lag on the HD2 which there was some) and passing that information on. Anyone who actually HAS an evo have any lag? I think not.

And if he thinks an iPhone 3GS in ANY way blows the EVO out of the water...he is obviously lying. I mean based on feature set alone. There is no way the iphone can browse as fast (4G...hello), operate as fast (gee isn't that processor almost twice as fast), take better pictures? No. Have a front facing cam? No. Oh yeah...that screen size on the iPhone sure is better than the EVO. WTF?

Some people's kids.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oak25:
I understand what you are saying. That was the only reason i am worried about buying an EVO. This author must have had all the applications syncing every 15 minutes. I have an apple itouch not sure how close the phone and this thing is but I like it. It is smooth and quick. (buts its not a phone). When it comes to android... Its about the experience that comes with it.

But this guy is positively being paid off haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
With light usage I had 36% remaining after 14 hours the other day. I think you just need to give the battery time to get adjusted. However, I have noticed that it seems to drain faster from 100-80% than it does from 80-50%.

Well I actually just recently noticed the same about my iPhone 3G. The first 10-15% go really fast.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewi3069:
My evo seems to do pretty good with the battery I can go the whole day without needing a charge but I do charge it when I get home. When I'm using it for games all day it drains pretty quick but at those time I plug it in... I don't know what they expect when your rocking a 1ghz processor, a 4.3 inch screen, and about every type of network connection you can fit in a phone... as far as lag goes on this phone I notice very little mainly when I'm installing like 3 or 4 apps at once... compared to my hero this thing is a rocket! And once Android 2.2 is put on here this thing will be smoking.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingpongboss:
My Evo lasts for 8-9 hours. That's 70% idle with screen off. Cell Standby at 40+% is killing my battery.

My motorola droid in the same time still has over 50% charge. There's no question that the Evo is a battery drainer for whatever reason.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notown775:
hate to say it, but once a fan boy always a fan boy. I used to have a win-mo device (touch pro) and i like it, then i moved up (should i say downgraded) to the instinct- worst decision ever. than i used the android platform on my hero. I'd have to say its leaps and bounds easier than win-mo.. My brother has an iPhone which i always play with when he comes over, and i think its a really easy interface to play with.. thats all. The speeds at which apps were open weren't any better than my hero. I also opened up maps on his phone and mine, and my location was dead on with the hero, the iPhone was 100meters. LOL.

But everyone needs to try other stuff out and make there own decisions, dont let someone who is obviously a fan boy tell you whats good and bad.

thats ur prob ur using bluetooth it will use more battery and then ur playing the podcast at the same time any phone u do that on u will use more battery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marctronixx:
the battery technology is a few years old. the cpu is 1ghz.. the phone is sniffing 3g/4g/wifi/bt plus the shiny screen and backlight all use power. the battery technology being used in this state of the art phone is not advancing as fast as the phones are...

the reason the top ~10% of the charge goes so quickly is due to the you taking the phone off charge.. the cells in Li-ION batteries are not created equal. some cells will get a stronger/longer charge than other cells. once you take the battery off charge, the cells that are stronger in charge than the others will feed that extra charge to those other cells, so your battery charge will fall down to around 90 or so pretty quickly out the gate.. from there the cells are all stable and equally charged and stay at a constant discharge rate for about ~87% to about ~55%.

once the charge falls below 55% the cells really start to lose their charge and the battery curve drops drastically.

when you "top off" the phone for , say, 30 minutes or so and you take it off charge and you see 100%. do understand that one or two cells have a fuller (my word) charge than others.. once the cells equalize, then you will see the tru charge (which will be much much less than 100%)...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misticjeff:
I'll post my findings here although probably no one will believe me. I'm not a fanboi since i've phones on three carriers.

My EVO will lose 2% per hour sitting idle which is fantastic. My HD2 loses approx. the same amount, maybe a little less.

I've found the EVO to be no more power hungry than any "superphone" i've used including the iphone 3gs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanFL:
signal strength also plays a part

one thought based on my experience with a palm pre and htc hero: signal strength.

My office has very low signal strength (1 bar or less). The battery seems to drain quite fast here. If I'm somewhere else with good signal, my battery lasts much longer. Same battery drain if you're going in and out of evdo / 1Rxx.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidkernel:
You can get better battery life by using SetCPU and having it downclock when the phone is idle. This will dramatically increase the battery life of your phone.

Consider getting the 1800mAh Hero/TP2 battery for $10 on eBay. I have one in my Hero and it increase my battery life from half a day to nearly one full day with constant usage.

lithum ions have cells in them that store energy. that energy is spread across the cells in the pack. i know exactly what im talking about sir/ma'am. kindly make sure you understand a post before attacking a member of this esteemed forum... #thatisall #goodnight
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy talk:
that's good, i'm glad we both realize lithium batteries store energy.

each lithium cell can old a maximum of 4.2 volts (3.6-3.7 is the max when looking for longevity)

take a look at any cell phone battery you can find. it will say 3.7 volts. yes, i realize the battery could be hooked up in parallel to add more capacity (and cells) but this is not the case with cell phones.

Battery tips for the EVO!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy talk:
nope. im 'thinking' what running the battery down to 0% does is give Android the voltage range it can operate in so it can better estimate battery percentage.

i kinda doubt that even... the only batteries that benefit from conditioning are Nickel cadmium batteries.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatnai:
while lithium ion batteries don't need conditioning, the way the phone reads the battery and the readout/% it tells you adapts over time. so I think everyone here may be right. when you run the battery down fully, then charge fully, you may be conditioning the phone (not the battery) so it learns what max capacity is, and what empty is, and thus may get better battery life.

see this article if you want tips on extending your battery life (and the author's take on battery conditioning and why I believe what I wrote is correct). I think we should easily get >24h out of our evo no prob. on my vogue (running android), what settings I run and what rom i am using has a huge effect on my battery (can vary from 9h tops to >30h); i'll hold my judgment on the EVOs battery until i've got it in my hand and have set it up the way I want it. I bet with minimal use 36h will be easy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofdeath:
battery life does get better

So first day I got my EVO I just played with it non stop and didn't turn off any of the radios (except 4G since I don't have it in my area), and it lasted like 4- or 5hrs. until it died. Which left me a little worried. But I did a full recharge, then the next day I played with it all morning, but I turned off the GPS radio (since I was inside and wasn't using location apps) and I played games, listened to pandora and slacker radio, downloaded and installed a slew of different apps and browsed the internet. I then later used yelp and the google navigation (turning back on the GPS) to take me to a new restaurant. Where I had dinner and went a watched a movie all the while the phone sat idle and when I got home the phone was telling me I needed to plug it in so about 8 solid hours of good use. Now the next day I again have played with it all day, listened to music, browsed the web, played games (but again the gps is off since I wasn't using it) and it is still going strong so I assume I'll get more than 8 hours out of it. So initially I was worried about the battery and while I will agree that it doesn't last as quite as long as I'm used to on some older phones I had, none of them had all the awesome features of this awesome EVO and over time I've been able to get a lot better battery life than the first day I played with it. So after reading the article aside from all the iphone bias, the major complaint of the phone was the battery and even though it is an issue, from my own experience I can only conclude that he used barely used the phone and hasn't given it a chance, nor taken any steps to prolong the battery life (like shutting off radios he's not using) or he got a defective battery. Any way I love this phone and anyone that may have concerns about it because of the battery shouldn't let that one aspect get in the way of all the other awesome that comes with this phone.

When I first got the phone I was getting about 6-7hrs out of heavy use. I rooted and flashed Fresh 0.3 which is supposed to help battery life.

I'm sorry for being so blunt...But anybody who is really having problems with the EVO's battery life then either

1. They got a defected device.

or

2. They don't know what a smart phone is and how to use one.

I get more than enough battery life to last me throughout the day, regardless has to whether I use my phone extensively for browsing and games, or if I just use the basics, call and text

Battery life is so up in the air ... it all depends.

Give me a decent phone and it'll be done with serious use. It just depends. GPS/Navigation will drain ... 4G doesn't seem that drastic from 3G in terms of battery drainage. Some people really get carried away when talking Evo battery life. Yes, it can be drained in less than half a day ... easy. What phone couldn't you kill in half a day?

Just depends on the circumstances ... and who the hell doesn't plug their phone in during the day on some occasions? Or in the car? You never know when you're going to get stuck at the bar ... so you prepare! You plan!

People want a reason to trash the Evo and the battery is an easy target. There should be some extensive comparisons between some of the top phones, time lapsed video of heavy use in long stretches ... exact actions / searches / browsing / length of video calls / maybe some nav etc etc and see how all the "big dogs" stack up. Who the **** knows, but some **** to put the **** to rest. I have no doubt that the Evo might dish out some extra juice for the display and 4G, but such things can be managed.
