My battery life is still kind of crummy.. after 8 hours at work, I'm at 40% or less battery.. with moderate texting only usage.. no internet, no facebook.. just texting.. somewhere around 150 messages sent, equal of received.

I updated from 9.6 without wiping, going to do a full wipe and install 9.7 see if it helps.

Any chance of getting powertop installed by default? Would make tracking down my battery issues alot easier.. :)

Otherwise, everything runs great and I LOVE the new bootscreen.

Thanks!

Love your work Hero, but I think the kernels need a little more time in the oven.

Wiped clean, installed 9.7 Was only getting 40 fps (not really complaining about that) UI had some lag in it, and some of my apps randomly FC.

Flashed netarchy 3.7.1 kernel and all my problems went away. Not sure what impact this will have on my battery life, but I highly doubt it will make a huge difference.

Ive said before that i am going to work on htcs official source and build it up. that will most likely remove your errors as i think too many people are forking into toasts source

edit: whoever post a mirror gets a cookie. some people cant use romuploader

Tried, this with no luck. I am able to browse the web on the wifi. I even made sure to kill the VVM service between tries. Still getting the General Failure. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattykinsx:
Alright, I'm gonna go into some more details now because after trying this my battery life did not improve.

After 3 hours and 23 minutes of the phone unplugged, I am at 58% battery life.

The phone spent most of that time in my pocket.

I don't use IM programs [as they suck so much battery I don't even understand why they're offered on phones] beyond the Google Voice App.

The "Up time" for my phone is 3 hours 4 minutes as I type.

The "Awake time" is 32 minutes.

The only two mail accounts I have synced are gmail accounts. [push services]

Wifi, Bluetooth and 4g were off, gps was on, during this time.

I received 5 text messages and sent 2 in this period of time.

2 phone calls spanning 3 minutes total.

I received and sent a total of 21 google voice texts via the app.

Any app that you can set to check the server [such as Facebook, twitter, ap mobile etc] is set to hourly or longer.

I forgot to mention my phone was "muted" throughout the 3.5 hour period.

My screen on is set to 15 seconds.

My brightness is, at most, 25%.

My service where I was at is never less than 3 bars.

I am running 9.7 with kernel 2.

I'm not blaming this rom/kernel because, to be frank, this has been my experience with this phone. Give or take a few percentage points.

I can't even conclude that it must be an app because I've had this same battery performance previous to having downloaded any apps. [both when I first bought the phone and when I installed 9.6 and then 9.7]

Anyone who's willing please, lend me some assistance.

I love how I have an issue yet only one person comes along and replied trying to offer some advice. You'd think the rom creator would be in there trying to assist me, but no. That's how you lose supporters and donations. I have one simple issue (I hope simple) and would like some assistance getting it resolved. I never had this issue until I come on to this rom. I do love this rom, don't get me wrong. I would just love some assistance on getting it resolved PLEASE!

I have posted multiple times in this thread, even included screenshots!

Thanks!

I actually hope nobody helps you because the way your comming off is that hero owes you something.

Please move on, the community doesnt need any more ungratefull assholes, we have too many as it is
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
This isn't a full time job for me. Believe it or not i am not on my computer all the time. Im on my phone right now. State your problem and ill give you a response. Im not gunna scour through the threads while im at a friends house.
[EVO 4G Android Development] regulator207:
wow that guy sucks. good job hero_over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lzlaxhacker:
1st off, hero_over has done a great service for all of us by creating this ROM in the first place, and doesn't owe you any sort of service.

2nd, complaining, and posting in a giant sized font is not a good way to get people to help you.

3rd, I'm pretty sure you mentioned your issues were resolved in 9.7, so that is probably why nobody bothered to help you anymore: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7246499&postcount=1597
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
Okay, somehow during the flashing process, I lost my Gallery apps (both HTC and 3D--I keep both for various reasons). I have the HTC .apk laying around, but would anyone be nice enough to link the apk for the 3D one? I used to have a zip from fresh that I would apply that would replace all HTC apps with vanilla ones, but I can't seem to find it.

It would be much appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Albaholic:
Here you go

Apk's are located in the system folder inside the zip file
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
Thanks much, friend!
[EVO 4G Android Development] masbirdies:
Try the suggestions to SEE if you get improvement.

Reboot the phone 3 times...each time letting the phone sit around 15 minutes. This does a lot of things.

The only two mail accounts I have synced are gmail accounts. [push services] Change this to manual retrieve

Wifi, Bluetooth and 4g were off, gps was on, during this time. Turn GPS off as well as 3g

Any app that you can set to check the server [such as Facebook, twitter, ap e mobile etc] is set to hourly or longer. Set these to once a day or manual

Do you have SetCPU? Set it up with profiles. Make sure that when you sit there in SetCPU....the meter stays on the minimum setting almost all the time. If it is spiking, you have something running that shouldn't be.

Try this and report back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] masbirdies:
That's totally ****ed up...

You spoiled brat!
[EVO 4G Android Development] afitchguy07:
I apologize for coming off so rude, but you have to understand I already posted multiple times... days ago! At least now i have all of your attention. If you are to make a donation, i feel you are expected to get some sort of help after 3+ days from initial post of issue, don't you think, or am I wrong? Put yourself in my situation. I understand it's free, but it's not free once you make a donation. Then to not receive support from ANYONE, not just the creator is a little absurd IMO.

anyways, if you're at a friends house, you don't have to take time away. Like i mentioned in the PM i sent a few moments ago, please look at it when you get a chance and at least get back to me. That's all i ask.

As for the issue, i had it starting in your first rom i've loaded (9.6). After loading 9.7, they seemed to temp go away. Now it's back. I am unsure if it's the ROM causing it or maybe a conflict with certain apps. I really enjoy your rom because of it's stability and battery life, that is why i considered donations to you and your work.

The issue: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7228415&postcount=1453 & http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7218908&postcount=1436

Again, thank you.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, it isn't always the same images/videos. After i reboot, it seems to change which ones it decides to not display/play.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Albaholic:
That's odd, what happens when you try to press on one of the photos that aren't displaying correctly?

Install alogcat and try pressing on one of the photos to see if any errors show up in the logs. Could be your SD card going bad. Does this happen on other roms?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lzlaxhacker:
Listen, you should have posted when the issue came back. Last we heard, before your rude large-font post, your issue was fixed. Posting that the problem re-appeared probably would have helped you get a response. Also, even after donating, you don't get any sort of special treatment. That would be like donating to the American Cancer Society, and then requesting special perks from them. It would be a different story of hero_over said donating actually gets you something extra. As for your problem, you appear to be the only person who has it with this ROM and it seems pretty minor. Can we get some more details about your phone, like what kernel you are using, what sort of apps you have installed, radio, hardware revision, what kind of sd card, etc...so we can narrow down what could be causing the issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] regulator207:
This isn't the thread to discuss this, but you are ignorant to the definition of donation. How does it feel being so self-entitled? As far as I know the donators did not hire hero to build this rom, nor did they donate expecting support.

Hero doesn't owe you jack ****. The XDA community doesn't owe you jack ****.
[EVO 4G Android Development] afitchguy07:
the issue just came back today. as i said, it was fine for a while.

The camera on my phone is not a minor issue. i use it for on-site developments i have to survey and take pictures to sketch and draft them on the computer. i understand you may say just buy a camera, but i would like to try & keep items to a minimum if possible and the phone has a camera so why not utilize it.

in addition to the information i've already posted in the previous linked post, here is what you requested:

kernel: 2.6.29-Godmode jdubz@hero-over#1 (stock with 9.7)

baseband: i've already listed in previous posted link above but here it is again 1.36.00.04.02

firmware: 2.1-update1

build number: 1.47.651.1 baked 9.7

hardware: 2

apps:

astro

bettercut

fb (not used since i loaded 9.7 and issue still occurred)

fox news

fox news radio

handcent

notes

statefarm

quadrant

quickboot

rom manager

root explorer

shootme

Ti backup

that is all that i have installed on my own that didn't come included with his 9.7 release. the sd card is stock 8gb sandisk HC.

My 4G went out the window since starting this rom (9.6 and 9.7) as well. I don't use it much anyways, but i thought i might throw that in there. The mac address is fine and reflects it just fine. Other than that i'm unsure.

Thank you,

If anymore info is needed, please let me know.

EDIT: when using the notes widget, as well, it stops showing the 'note' i've put on there. I'm assuming they are stored on the sdcard, too? Sometimes they show and sometimes they don't. This may or may not be tied to my initial issue.

accident post --
[EVO 4G Android Development] lzlaxhacker:
Don't sound so bothered by a request of information, I'm not going to search through your previous posts to find all of it. Honestly, I have no idea what would be causing your issue. You are the only one having it, so it definitely has to be something specific to your phone. My best guess is that something is wrong with your SD card. Maybe try copying all the data off of your SD card onto your computer, reformat the card, and copy the data back and see if that solves your problem. If not, maybe your card is going bad and you should get a new one, or maybe something is just funky between this ROM and your phone, and you'll have to just switch to a different ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rsh55:
Something is not right. I have my phone set to accounts and mobile on, GPS on, brightness auto, screen 1 min. and updates every 2 hours. I made the same number of calls and length, checked the long term weather forecast, answered 8 emails, no texts and a few minutes playing with apps. My phone has been unplugged 15 hours and I am above 90% battery.

I have found that market, and programs that actually use the GPS actively, are battery eaters. I downloaded 4 apps yesterday and played with Carr Matey and Layar and had my battery drain to under 50% during that same time frame.

I am not in 4g so that is never on and rarely bother to connect to wifi, although that should actually help battery life.

I do use task panel and have it set to kill virtually everything but HTC widgets/updates and system apps when the phone goes to sleep.

This rom has doubled the BL I had when I first got the phone. However, it seems that like any battery operated device the more you use it the less battery life you get.

PS: I do have the 1750 mah battery, although that would not nearly account for our differences.
[EVO 4G Android Development] afitchguy07:
I wasn't bothered at all. I was just trying to explain everything clearly so there wasn't any confusion.

I should have mentioned i already copied the sd card's contents off to my computer then formatted with fat32 and then inserted card blank. At this point i xfered only my nandroidbackup and 9.7 rom and flashed it allowing it to create all directories. I've tried using a different sd card and it was the same issues. But it was only this rom (6 and 7).

Is there maybe a setting i could check into by any chance?

If not i will wait and see what else is suggested.

Thanks for your reply and sorry again for the blunt post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lzlaxhacker:
hmm...you could maybe try re-installing the gallery app, or installing a different one, like 3D gallery. that might work.

edit: you may have to use ADB to remove/install the gallery app...not 100% on that though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigheadwillie:
I'm having problems with the battery indicator. It currently shows 3 out of 6 sections, but when I go into the actual battery menu it only shows 2 of 10.

When I installed 9.7 I did a full wipe of everything including battery stats.

I'm running 9.7 kernel 2, hw3, nova screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] illizit:
I would suggest replacing the SD card and see if the problem persists.
[EVO 4G Android Development] afitchguy07:
I just tossed a diff gallery on there and the same ones that show in stock gallery are same in 3D.

Im not sure if you caught when i said that the NOTES widget is sometimes showing my notes after i hit DONE. Sometimes i can create 3 or 4 and put like numbers for example on them and then you can flick through them. It works sometimes, but other times, i can make the same notes, and they sheets will flick but appear blank. This makes me think that they data for the NOTES widget is stored on the sd card, just like the images from shoot me and camera. Can anyone confirm this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] afitchguy07:
Thanks for the reply, but i already have tried that with no success, unfortunately.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chocmatic:
Hmmm....have you tried turning off the phone and booting without the sdcard then re-inserting it and trying again? Also, you could try moving your pictures to your pc and deleting the folder then copy everything back. This is just a suggestion hopefully it helps you out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lzlaxhacker:
yeah, I did catch that, which makes me think it has something to do with whatever process reads/writes information from the SD card. Not really sure how to fix it. You could try a different kernel...no idea why that would help...but its not like you have to wipe data to do it, might as well give it a shot.

About the custom kernels.... Can i jus flash one over or full wipe first

Thanks just tried that and nothing still not updating it. Oh and the kernels i jsut update over them and never had one issue

Did anyone find a fix for some phone's touchscreen not working after flashing Kernel 2. Three is working fine, but for obvious reasons I would rather use two.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
here is the regular 90 degree rotation. just flash over 9.7. its kernel 3 also

http://romuploader.com/index.php/1JkrC
[EVO 4G Android Development] jefftse:
I think I figured it out and please have someone to confirm this.

For those of you who is having problem with ##data##. You must turn off 4g; turn on wifi and connected. It worked for me when I did that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
well i can say that it is 80% most likely an issue with your sdcard. seems to be corrupting your files. try loading up your stock card with pictures and see if the problem persists. also if you backed up your apps using titanium try to do a full install without using titanium. titanium sometimes doesnt play well. but im pretty sure thats an sd specific error
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2thejx5:
Thank you! oh one last question do you have any idea where i could get the htc news widget that works with this rom? all the ones i try never install
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
adb push it then restart
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2thejx5:
just tried your kernal you gave me and it just pretty much put the kernal 3 which is great but it didn't do anything against the 270 degrees sadly

A few questions

Hey all,

First, I really like this ROM and this is my first custom ROM (coming from the Blackberry World). Anyhow, I have several questions. For some reason, my accounts/sync will not open...it just says it was forced to close. It worked when I first flashed this ROM, but then several hours later, it showed this message. I mean I can pull my mail manually and weather seems to update, but I can't access my accounts to reset anything. Any ideas or thoughts?

Outside of this, my EVO is really running very well.

Thanks to the Dev and the XDA community!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] masbirdies:
Try...

Uninstall and re-install fresh from market. That worked for me!
[EVO 4G Android Development] masbirdies:
I had this problem once before on my Samsung Moment. I don't know where these are on the Evo but find the picture thumbnails and delete them....letting your gallery rebuild.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
9.7 is TOPS!!!

after 10 hours off charge i still have 92% battery lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
What kernel are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] huoter:
Luckily I previously made a donation to Hero for his work and in exchange I get to play with ROM's early so I have been running 9.7 for a couple days now and love it!!:D

Forgot my charger yesterday and didn't plug in till 10 pm last night and still had 25% battery left! Then again I have SetCPU > Screen Off set real low and my main profile at 128mhz minimum and max set at 1113mhz
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
1 that came with the rom i tried 2 but i lost touch screen
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
yea i have setcpu to ramp down to 128 when the screen is off and to ramp down @ 50% battery life too
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
Hmmm..

Can anyone that was having problems with google goggles force closing on 9.6 confirm that it works with 9.7?
[EVO 4G Android Development] huoter:
I just downloaded (Personally I have no use for it) and tested. Program force closes and is the only one I have experienced.

Time to uninstall :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] jefftse:
Are you serious???? What is your setting on setcpu????
[EVO 4G Android Development] stewie-droid:
Please post a systempanel screenshot. NO WAY!!! unless your phone is seating idle with no use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
Reinstalling it works for some. FYI.

True, I rarely use it, but it makes me think that it may affect other apps at some point.

I'll wait 'til this weekend to flash 9.7, since usually flashing keeps me from getting work done because I'm constantly tinkering. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] huoter:
LOL so true! Every time a new update comes out I am completely distracted for a good hour or two
[EVO 4G Android Development] masbirdies:
I have 2 bugs that I can't figure out...

Posted about this previously and saw a response or two stating they had the same but never saw a fix.

1. HTC widget downloaded (get more HTC widgets) does not work. It shows I have Notes installed, which I don't....and when I download a new htc widget, it seems to download and then install but the new widget is not accessible and no where to be found.

2. Sync with Google for contacts is not working. I get a message that it is unable to sync at this time, try back later.

Both of these items appear after 3 clean attempts to install .9.7 (including no restore of my apps).

Any clues for fixing???
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
LOL@huoter :)

I have no self control. I flashed 9.7 and kernel 3 with no wipe. The kernel shows as 2.6.29 jdubz@hero-baked#8. Isn't that the same that came with 9.6? Were there no changes to it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jefftse:

[EVO 4G Android Development] jefftse:
Thanks man. How's the battery life treating you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenags:
So you need to install the kernel and ROM separately?

Masbirdies- "2. Sync with Google for contacts is not working. I get a message that it is unable to sync at this time, try back later.

Both of these items appear after 3 clean attempts to install .9.7 (including no restore of my apps)."

Same here-

Well I did a re-flash and in the initial setup, I was able to set my sync times and what to sync. However after I restored everything using Titanium, it won't allow me to access it again...still getting the forced close message. This part is important, because email is how I communicate. Again, it will sync if I manually do it in the app, but will not push the mail out. I only have a Gmail (of course) and a Yahoo account. Not so much concerned with Facebook or Twitter.

And I have the same issue with Goggles as well.

Any ideas?
