[EVO 4G General] stinkbud:
I have had less than impressive battery life on my evo as well. I am using baked snack .7 rom which is supposed to have excellent bat life.

Looking at that list the OP posted of apps he hasn't re-installed, i am seeing that we have 4 common apks...Astro, Square, Fring and The Weather Channel.

I have a feeling it may be TWC that is eating battery...I will try uninstalling this and Fring.

I also notice that he has several live wallpapers. Having checked systempanel, the only thing that is really pushing CPUs is live wallpaper. I am also going to disable that for now.
[EVO 4G General] VSack:
Please keep us updated. I'm interested to hear your findings.
[EVO 4G General] kamiller42:
I use Damage also. I get good battery life. In a stock configuration, there is still one massive battery drainer on my phone, 4G. I turn that on, and battery power drops like a rock.

I had 4G on in the office. (The area around the building is 4G, but not inside. ) I had an almost full battery at 10am and 50% by 12:15pm.

FYI, I do have the radio patch installed too with Damage 3.2.
[EVO 4G General] nYdGeo:
ChrisDos, this is an excellent thing that you are doing. Sometime soon, by adding an app or two at a time, you'll find the battery assassins. I appreciate you doing this, and look forward to your discoveries, especially since my phone is rooted yet. It will be wonderful to know in advance what the main culprit or culprits are so I can ditch them.

I'm basically in stock, as-shipped configuration, and with light usage I'm getting maybe 6-8 hours, less if I am active on the phone, and we know that I'm not alone.

Now we just need one of the slick developers figure out how to root the Evo in such a manner that it can be restored 100% original and undetectable. My brother can do that on his phone, don't recall the model and don't know how its done, but could be very handy in the event of a warranty issue.

Thanks again, ChrisDos!
[EVO 4G General] brennen.exe:
I'm not trying to hijack the thread into a "show your battery usage" thread, but I... I... I thought that it might be useful and-- Anyways, I'm on the stock (1.32.651.1) rom from flipz; haven't found a rom that really caught my attention yet. I'm not a media whore, but this snapshot is after 3.5 hours of usage that consists of phone calls, vpn access, wireless access, gps, remote desktop, text messages, emails, web browsing, and a lot of music. Screen was taken at 44% battery life according to Spare Parts.
[EVO 4G General] _Phantom_:
Thank you for doing this!
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
Dude.......that...is...awesome.

I've had no luck with battery. I've been playing Battery Nazi the past few days and still no luck. Three different ROMS, killing stuff every hour, only turning on the network radio when I need it...it's like being in a jail cell with a barred window that opens to a mini golf course and go-kart track. Every thing I want to do is within reach, but I just feel trapped!
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
I run on stock, but I download several apps. I use Adv. Task Killer in low security mode and turn off basically everything that stays off, and leave only "Conectivity Service" and "IQ aGent" or w/e, running. With this I get a good 10 hrs of decent usage during the day with battery to spare.
[EVO 4G General] MechaWolf:
Why didn't you just look and see what the difference were between your apps and your wife's app collection?
[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
Well, my wife only has like ten apps installed, and I have, well, about 120+ installed. So there must be an app in there that was doing the battery draining. Just don't know what it is yet.
[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
Well, I still haven't located the culprit app yet. But having the phone on idle for 15 hours resulted in a 10% battery drain with all services turned. Though I'm at my house and and it's connect to wifi and not using 3G at the moment.

But yea, turn on 4G and you can literally watch your battery life being sucked away. I don't have 4G here in Denver yet, but I think I'm going to go with the siedio's 3500 mahr battery so I can run 4G for extended length of time.
[EVO 4G General] athlet1c:
When I did alogcat it seems to show Bluetooth file transfer going even though I had it disabled.. Also Fring is a common APP I share on your list...while running 3G My battery life is pretty bad on several Roms . If I use WiFi it seems to last longer.....End result its running Data consistently in the background some where
[EVO 4G General] CentroniX:
Any rooted Evo can be "restored 100% original and undetectable." Just run the RUU. Not like we're installing mod chips or anything! :D

[EVO 4G General] lookout4theyeti:
I came from a G1 to the Evo, and that phone had pretty bad battery life as well (t-mobile did lots of free battery replacements due to issues). I was rooted running eclair roms. Here's some tips that helped me.

Go to accounts>sync. Turn off news and stock sync unless you absolutely must have it.

If you sync Facebook, set it to sync just once a day (or sync manually if you use it just for contacts). There's no need to sync statuses when we have a Facebook app (at least I don't need to).

Those are the few things I've noticed that I can take from my g1 experience. I ran the Evo phone the past two days normal, and just switched all this stuff today to see if it helps as much as it did on my g1. I hope it does, and I recommend trying it to see how everyone's mileage is.

I also believe fring is eating a LOT of battery. I'm leaving mine connected for now cause my girlfriend is on vacation and its our only way to communicate. I will try logging off for a while next week and see what kind of change it makes.

Hopefully none of this is redundant, just wanted to contribute some.

How do you calibrate the battery?
[EVO 4G General] fallentimm:
Read damage control thread. Post two has amazing info. They are best with battery by far. Dconfig is great
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
My biggest suggestion:

Get Autostarts from the Market and USE IT! It is NOT a task killer, and it doesn't run in the background! You can set the permissions individually of when apps are allowed to launch, and there are tons of conditionals (i.e. "text received," "wifi turned on," etc).
[EVO 4G General] nYdGeo:
Once again, to really take advantage of this app you need to root your phone. I do plan to do this, but there should be some way to still make a substantial improvement on a stock Evo...well, maybe. Sprints bloated, locked-down implementation make it difficult if not impossible.

I guess when the froyo Cyanogen for Evo is ready, it'll be time to root.
[EVO 4G General] fallentimm:
What Would cyaogen for evo give us that we don't already have:confusged::confused::confused::confused:
[EVO 4G General] daqq:
20hrs+ since unplugged, I still have 68% battery left. I also have a 2nd battery, that I haven't yet had to put in. I've managed 40+ hours with 20% left, although much of the time it sat idle. With both batteries, I can manage 3 days unplugged, with no problems, unless I start using it heavy, in which I'll get a little over 2 days. I let my Evo stream music over pandora for 4 hours, at about 90% volume, and only used about 15% battery.

Treve just updated this it looks like rotation causes barry drain because it keeps compass open. I'm testing it now my dcpowertop is lower i could live without rotation for battery I'm testing now
[EVO 4G General] lookout4theyeti:
I was looking through the Settings>System update menus. Any chance having the "HTC Software Update">"Scheduled Check" enabled be contributing to our battery loss? I'm gonna let my battery drain completely again, recharge and uncheck that option and see if I notice any difference.

EDIT: Not sure if this has been posted yet

http://community.sprint.com/baw/com...log/2010/06/15/battery-tips-for-new-evo-users

Some tips from the sprint forums. Seems that google talk signs in and runs in the background at startup eating up battery, among other things. I never even thought to check that out when I was using my G1.
[EVO 4G General] DSwarP:
Just thought I would add something here based on my own findings.

The People Widget seems to have been the culprit for me. Don't have any explanation as to why, but someone in another thread suggested removing it, so I removed it, and went from getting 6 hours out of my phone to getting about 20 hours out of my phone.
[EVO 4G General] nYdGeo:
Its just that his ROMs are the favorites of several people that I know. Beyond that, just rooting the phone, being able to control exactly what is installed, what is launched at boot, the ability to use utilities that cannot be used without rooting, etc.

There are several posts of folks that are getting great battery life out of a stock Evo, and its usually done by turning it into slightly more than a flip-phone by turning everything off. To me that defeats the entire purpose of getting an Evo.

Having been a Blackberry user for a long time, and being able to have all the bling (that they have), running numerous apps, messengers, utilities, etc, and being able to easily run for 1-2 days on a charge doing whatever I want when ever I want, now getting 6 hours on a charge with my Evo running less and doing far less seems kind of counter productive to me.

I don't know why yet, but everyone that I know with rooted phones, mostly using Cyanogen ROMs, are getting much better battery performance than I am while doing much more on their phones.

I'm still searching for that...anything, that helps me get better battery life without making my Evo just a phone.
[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
Actually, if you read my first post, I have everything turned on except for 4G. I'm getting amazing battery life now. I've reinstalled about 90% of my apps and I'm still only loosing about 5-10% every 7-10 hours. Though I do have all social networking removed from the phone since I'm not into that (privacy is an amazing thing). In my opinion, with the exception of 4G, a badly behaving apps seems to be the number one cause of the battery draining.

As for CyanogenMod, well, I used his ROMs after JesusFreak's on my G1. He makes an outstanding mod, no doubt about it. But I have to admit, I'm extremely impressed with DamageControls's ROMs right now and I don't think I'd switch at this point in time. And it's not just me, DC's ROMs seems to be the most popular for the EVO right now. Though I'm curious what Toast and the rest of the Dev's run.
[EVO 4G General] fallentimm:
Damage control rom really gives themost options. Their dconfig app lets you tweak everything from apks installed to how kernel works. Is amazing how much battery they are able to save. Turning rotation off helped my battery ALOT too. They have other good info in post two. Root and go with dc you won't be disappointed
[EVO 4G General] reyrios:
Thanks! This is one thing I have not tried yet. I have it on my phone, but I really don't use it that much. I will try the Folder Starred or the Folder People to access my contacts faster. Widgets are a big battery drainer.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
google chat was one of my culprits. i didn't even think about it cause i don't use gchat, i use meebo. once gchat was disabled, i noticed a difference.
[EVO 4G General] reyrios:
What is good battery life???

What would you consider good battery life? 12 hrs, 24 hrs, 36 hrs of normal use?

I am averaging from 26hrs normal use to 34 hrs or low use. Normal use is checking email when they arrive, receiving/calling with talk time of 2 hours/avg a day, GPS sometimes on, 3G, watching occasional video for 20 minutes or music for couple of hours.

I have done most of the tricks to conserve battery, used my widgets wisely and drain my battery to 0% and charge it overnight while the phone is off (once).

I am not using ATK, since I believe it causes more problems that it solves. I am using Startup Cleaner so when I reboot it kills programs that would normally want to start on the background (just like in Windows).

Another trick I learned is to log out from Google Talk, specially if you don't use it.

Last, which I don't know if it helps or not, but I am using "Setting Profiles" app (similar to Locale, but cheaper) and it helps tremendously if you create a profile for low battery and disable a lot of thing automatically so the battery doesn't drain as fast for the remainder of the battery life. This app is amazing for other things as well, like automatically setting your phone to vibrate if you have a busy appt in your calendar.

Anyway, here are my latest shots. Notice I have a awake time of 11 hrs, I think that is pretty good (42% awake) and an uptime of 26 hrs with 10% battery (which should give me an avg of 20 minutes extra.

opps... I cannot upload photos since I am a newbie!!
[EVO 4G General] nYdGeo:
Thank you! I am an Adroid-noob and did not know that. I got the idea from my brother, but he has a different phone and the way it was rooted left evidence. He said that this would not be the case with my Evo. That rocks!
[EVO 4G General] nYdGeo:
ChrisDos, sorry if I was confusing. I meant that throughout these various forums and even other forums are people getting decent battery time but doing it by reducing their phones to flip-phone like ability. I read your post well, and that is what I want!

Due to recommendations, I'll now probably try Cyanogen's Mod and DamageControl. Speaking of which, since I don't know how to find out elsewhere, is DamageControl 3.2 froyo-based? Does DamageControl get OTA updates like the Cyanogen does? Its not a deal-breaker, but its just convenient.

Thank you for the information, the recommendations, and for sharing your experiences!
[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
DamageControl does provide the same type of download tool that Cyanogen does. It's bundled with their ROM and it can also be downloaded from the Market.

DC is not Froyo based at this point in time. The camera's do not work in the Froyo builds yet due to the Devs not having the driver source. Though hopefully HTC will release the source or a driver is developed that can be compiled against the current kernel that the Devs are working on.
[EVO 4G General] holob:
Guys, remove the HTC 'People' widget off of your homescreen. There seems to be consensus that this widget downloads MASSIVE amounts of data in the background at all times, causing not only massive data usage but horrible battery life.
[EVO 4G General] TurboX2:
Its definately the people service..

I dont have facebook auto syncronization enabled anymore and the battery life has improved drastically... there are other posts on the forum about this,

[EVO 4G General] lllDreadChiclll:
I installed SystemPanels, Autostarts, and Setting Profiles as well as removed my ATK and I got 25 hours with moderate use on my HTC battery. Today I'm using one of the knockoff ebay batteries and right now I am at 12 hours and still have 70% left. That's amazing to me and much more better than my Palm Pre or my Samsung Moment got. I have GPS on as well as WIFI. And I have only calibrated my battery and used these programs. I think Android does a good job of delegating what runs and what stops when it needs.

Something happened with my HD2. USB charging functionality works, but connectivity - not.

Computer shows message "USB device not recognized"

Tried on different comps, XP, Windows 7 - nothing. Soft reset, pulling battery, changing options on USB in Settings didn't help.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
You have ActiveSync (XP/2000) or Windows Mobile Center (Vista/7) installed?
[HD2 General] toreone:
Have you tried a different usb cable?! Anyone you know have a HD2 you can test it out on?! If something doesnt work on my HD2 I try it on my girls just to double check?! When you plug it in do you get a the option of choosing active sync or hard drive?!
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
Another thing it could be, and I need an answer to this myself, is that when you first plug the phone into the PC, the device presents the option of ActiveSync or Data Transfer, with an option of "Do not show this again". If someone selects Data Transfer, and clicks Do Not Show Again, how can this be reversed or undone? I have a user that cannot Explore through ActiveSync because he likely selected this option.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Jimbo, you can re-enable that in settings-connections-USB to PC, there a checkbox there labeled "ask me first about USB connection..."

DocAlex, did it connect properly in the past? If so, I'd start with toreone's suggestion and find a way to test with a different cable and/or PC.
[HD2 General] AlexMD:
Yes, installed. Also tried different cables, one of them was it's OEM cable.

Manipulated with USB setting on phone - didn't help.

Checked wet indicator - it's white.

Did nothing with - on some morning, after full night charging, connected to USB and got it. Bluetooth sync works on same computer...

Looks like USB controller died :(

So - some time USB controller can die ...

I am trying to locate a developer that will create a custom app. that will track/log unsuccessful attempts to unlock a G1 using the CM 5.0.8 ROM.

I would imagine that there is some ability to log this, and would hope that it was not an incredibly difficult process.

I am willing to pay for the development and testing, and the developer can retain all rights to the final project if they want to sell it.

If you feel you are capable, and willing to talk further contact me.

I need this done ASAP.
