Um, ok. I was just asking to see if there was something wrong with my battery/or something wrong with what I am doing. Either way, thanks.

Buy a cheap azz 3000 mah from ebay with cover and charger. It will set u back 10 bucks. I dont know if you can get just the charger. It takes twice as long if not 3 times as long to charge the battery. So it is trickle charging. Make sure to drain out ur battery til phone shuts off b4 charge. I charge my stock battery like this as well and have noticed a difference. Once battery is fully charged put in phone and boot to recovery and wipe battery stats, reboot and good luck
[EVO 4G Android Development] kris54241:
Only drain in order to reset stats ...its bad for battery to completely drain
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
You have to drain them when new a couple of times/cycle them to charge the cells correctly to get true mah out them. Is what i have read on battery tests.

Android System partial wake lock

Been running RC2 for the past couple of days and speed is great. There are a few minor things I am hoping to tweak but overall great ROM.

My only big issue is that the battery is dying really fast due to the "android system" process constantly in partial wake. Everything else is a tiny sliver of partial wake when I look under Spare Parts but Android system is like 50% or more.

I searched this thread and the forum at large but so far all I found were lots of references to Facebook and stuff like that. I have had no problems with Facebook using a lot of partial wake and none of the other tips (turning off network time, network location, etc) have helped.

Just wondering what my next step should be to determine what process or app is causing this. I can overlook little things like my preferring the HTC camera or whatever but this abnormal battery drain is a puzzle I would like to crack.

Any tips?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraginMagik:
on CM6 it seems

if you select the ZigZag...when you power up the screen you see the PatternLock and then your desktop

if you select PIN or PWD...when you power up the screen you see the SlideLock, then your PIN/PWD and then your desktop.

im getin the worst battery life ever with this rom!!! why!! i have the cmsnap kernel,set cpu set up and evereything..WTF!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeBrWade:
Ditto, wont' go away even if you kill that process it just comes back and FCs
[EVO 4G Android Development] neodorian:
Do what I did. Install Spare Parts and go to see what is keeping your battery in partial wake state. Hopefully it's something obvious like Facebook or Flickr or something you can easily delete. For me it's "Android System" which unfortunately isn't as helpful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freddyamazin:
Mine has been like that, awake time is MORE then the battery time which is weird I guess. I carry a charger everywhere I go so I don't really mind. lol.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nswenson:

I just bought a new sd card, wiped my phone, and reflashed CM6.

I restored a nandroid backup and while everything seems to be in place, none of the apps that were on the sd card (pretty much all of them) are not being recognized.

Is this a common problem with an easy fix? Please, someone make my day with an easy fix to this.

Google Gesture Search draining Battery?

i just looked at spare parts battery history and under the "sensor usage" item, i noticed Gesture search had a full blue bar, meaning i guess, that it's eating battery. my battery drain started about the time i installed gesture search, so i went to uninstall and saw there's an update that improves battery life, so i just updated and will see what happens...

Battery Killa

I love this Rom but its a battery killa fa real I think I got 2 hrs and some change out of it

And I wasnt really on it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Testrunner:
Battery

My battery was great with this rom (I'm up to date on the nightlies) until yesterday...

I moved a bunch of apps to my sd card and turned on SetCPU (no overclocking). For whatever reason this caused my battery to drain completely dead within a few hours WITHOUT me even using the phone.

After literally watching the batter meter drop from 100% to 50% in about an hour I decided to put all the apps back on the phones memory and removed SetCPU, rebooted the phone a few times and suddenly everything changed.

I am not sure what the culprit was but certainly Cyan by itself is does not have horrible battery.

Anyway, that's just my 2 cents.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xcopmanx2:
That's crazy. What were you doing during those two hours on the phone? I can use mine playing games for two hours and go down maybe 20%. Have you done a full wipe, and have you also tried the Sprint battery calibration method? I don't remember the link to the method, but maybe someone else does.

Finally, a real and legitimate answer!! THANK YOU!!

You are a rare breed my friend....awesome!

So now, if I run the commands in my terminal, it should be recognized when my phone is booted into fastboot??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
what the hell are you doing to it lol

i just wiped and reinstalled this morning and with NO TWEAKS no system monitor no autostarts no setcpu to UC WHEN SCREENS OFF etc etc

i still got 9 hours battery life with moderate to heavy usage. so you have to be killing it some how

with all my tweaks i do i get 27 + hours on a full charge
[EVO 4G Android Development] spiicytuna:
Put fastboot wherever you have adb and follow the steps. Should work just like windows now with the exception that your path to files won't be c:\path\to\file.

Now fastboot works with boot loader, so it goes something like this:

1. adb reboot bootloader

2. fastboot boot kernel.img

On screen if you issued the above commands you'd see it write the kernel to your phone and reboot. Follow the instructions on whatever you're trying to do and it should work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tranquilchaos:
I extracted fastboot.zip into my android-sdk-mac_86 folder...is that wrong? Should I have just extracted fastboot.zip into my home folder which is the android-sdk-mac_86 folder is...?

Also, enter lines 1 and 2 above before entering these commands? (to test if it's connected properly?)

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot

[EVO 4G Android Development] CentroniX:

Open a terminal

cd to the android-sdk-mac_86/tools directory

Execute commands by putting ./ in front of them:

./fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
./fastboot reboot

Boot phone.

Launch maps application.

Hit search button.

Enter "book store"

Locate closest book store.

Drive to book store.

Locate computer section.

Purchase book on using unix/Linux/OSX shell; They're all fundamentally the same.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ciumcium:
It doesn't make sense. Why, as soon as I flash 8/11 nightly, without any wipe, it works just fine? I'm willing to wipe everything if that would work, but I am afraid I will do that without any results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skeptron:
wat kernel do u all use with rc2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vudu:
What is your time with display on? That's the number I'm most interested in. Most of the time when I'm using the phone, it's to use the internet and that seems to kill my battery. I get about 4 hours of display time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CentroniX:
It makes perfect sense. Every night, things change. Settings are stored in sqlite databases. If the database is populated with what could now be malformed data due to code changes, they won't work. For all we know, there could have been a completely updated Bluetooth stack introduced on 8/12, which may have a completely new sqlite database and/or table structure that you are destroying when Titanium Backup replaces the databases. When you reflash 8/11, you have the appropriate databases and table structures.

As has been stated numerous times in the previous five-hundred-some-odd pages, test potential problems with a completely wiped fresh install before assuming there is an issue, especially when you use Titanium Backup. This is the exact reason we see so many posts where one thing isn't working for one person, and does for everyone else!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tranquilchaos:
Yo! Alright, so I restored a nandroid backup. Everything was restored but once again, apps on sd card were being unrecognized. So, I figured this fix would work. Here's what I did:

Last login: Wed Aug 18 20:24:06 on ttys000

drew-s-macbook-pro:~ drewsky$ ./fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

... OKAY

drew-s-macbook-pro:~ drewsky$ ./fastboot reboot

rebooting...

But upon rebooting, it didn't change a thing. The apps on the sd card are still not being recognized, WHY!?!?!? What am I supposed to do now?

Did I enter the commands wrong? I thought maybe I was supposed to run the command: cd android-sdk-mac_86/tools before entering the fastboot commands but when I tried that, it said 'No such file or directory'.

PLEASE, TELL ME THERE IS AN EASY FIX TO THIS!!!

I promise you, if you help me fix this, I'm on my way to the bookstore, just for you! ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] CentroniX:
Honestly, I don't know what your specific issue is or how to fix it. I was just giving ya pointers on how to use the fastboot zip you downloaded. The fact that when you executed the commands you saw "OKAY" and "rebooting" means the commands themselves were executed, otherwise you would have gotten a message saying the fastboot command was not found.

I'm on my iPad now and can't quickly reference your previous post, but I recall there was more commands you (or someone) posted before you got to the fastboot commands that where the end, including adb. In order to run the adb command, you have to 'cd', short for change directory, in to the directory where the adb command is located. No one but you knows where you unzipped the developer tools to. Was it your desktop? The downloads folder? You have to figure that out... Might be

cd /Users/drews/Downloads/android-blah-blah

Or

cd /Users/drews/Desktop/android-blah-blah

Or

cd /My/Sekret/folder/my/Brother/won't/find/android-blah-blah

Hopefully that's enough to get you in the right direction...

Not sure if this will help, but same thing happened to me going from cm r1 flashed to a different Rom.

I had my sdcard already partioned and apps stored on SD via froyo. But when I flashed new ROM, couldn't get any of my apps to load from market OR sdcard.

So, I backed up my sdcard on computer, wiped the card, formatted, re-partioned, and switched folders back onto card from computer.

Worked. Not sure if it was exactly what was needed. But had already tried everything else I could think of.

Good luck

[EVO 4G Android Development] IOInterrupt:
My battery life has been acceptable with RC2 and stock battery. However, I also wiped data/cache before installing the ROM and did the battery calibration afterwords.

On my first full charge I got just over 26 hours, but with pretty light use. Maybe one or two very short phone calls, 10 texts, 15 minutes of game play, and two hours of GrooveShark streaming via wifi.

Note, that this was without using SetCPU, JuiceDefender, or any custom kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bkfitz:
Anyone... Bueller.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Woah!!! How the heck did you manage that?

I've been using the CM6 nightlies since they started coming out (I'm about 2 days behind now though, for shame) and I've been getting better and better battery. I just installed SetCPU again for some aggressive CPU under-clocking when screen is off and battery is low to save even more battery, as well as so I could see how high I could get some benchmarks (Linpack 38MFlops with no tweaking other than SetCPU set to max values and performance mode). As it stands now I get great battery life. At least as good as my old iPhone 3G would.

I'm very happy and I can't wait for this to get finalized with the last remaining features integrated. At the moment my 4G is broken anyway, but I expect to get that fixed eventually and at that point I'll be wanting a rom that supports 4G. Also, while HDMI is a gimic really, I want to play with it. :D FM Radio... I could care less unless it did broadcast too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xcopmanx2:
Yeah, for me it works very well and has slightly improved battery life. Signal seems to be slightly better as well.

So I can flash back to my original NAND backup (right after rooting and installing the stock rooted 2.1 ROM), then do what (reason I ask is because it seems like there are several methods out there)... do I need to worry about using the 2.15 radio with this old 2.1 ROM?

Thx!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
I believe that the nandroid backups include radios... Someone may be able to confirm that though. In that case you'd be totally fine.

So you switch over to your stock and then you go to settings and then update your prl and profile and then flash back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
being on the rc2 thread, there's only the rc2 kernel. if you want the latest nightly, there's the latest nightly kernel (which is quite amazing, i must admit). the snap kernel is the monster kernel and it still has room to grow and polish. that's in the snap thread.

I think I lost LED notifications on the latest nightly but it could have been the RC2. Anyone else, is there a fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
i don't think we "lost" anything. this is my thought, but, if cm6 on the nexus one is any indication, i think cyanogen and his team may be incorporating led notifications as a system-wide setting, in addition to specific apps (such as handcent sms). this is entirely my own conjecture, but i'm basing it on past builds on other similar devices.

i hope i'm right because that would be total kickass.
