not at all.. here you go (in priority order):

temp > 50c = 422/128 (powersave) (priority 100)

screen off = 384/245 (powersave) (priority 98)

battery < 20 = 499/245 (powersave) (priority 91)

battery < 50 = 768/245 (ondemand) (priority 84)

charging/full = 1152/768 (ondemand) (priority 82)

battery < 100 = 1152/768 (ondemand) (priority 76)

i might change the "battery < 50" max limit as i notice some performance hiccups sometimes, depending on what i'm doing. as for when battery is less than 20%, performance takes a noticeable hit, but it's good enough to make calls and text, which is what i'd be using it for if i ever get that low.

lol as i usually use it a lot and have a tendency of staying out late some nights, having that ability to stretch to ~20 hours or so is definitely awesome.

Had me scared for a minute because I hadn't actually tried, but my mms works fine
[EVO 4G Android Development] trixr750:
I'm sure there are posts about this already but I need help or someone to tell me if this is normal. I'm running rc1 with the snap 3 kernel. Flashed the new radio recently and when I'm doing the speed test with the app... I'm getting only 50 mbs down constantly no matter where I am...

Is there something I can do to fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
Your "only" getting 50 mb/s? Turn your data connection off then on; then try again. If that doesn't work, restart your phone and try again. If that doesn't work, titanium backup your ****, wipe/flash rom then new radio then restore your stuff THEN try again. If that doesn't work, buy a puppy, eat pizza, hire a female "escort", climb on a roof then throw your phone back down on concrete and try again.

seriously though, reflash rom and radio and see what that does.
[EVO 4G Android Development] siverson612:
Like I said earlier I have GPS/Bluetooth off and sync 2 gmail accounts....no widgets at all. I refuse to turn data off like some people do because it shouldn't be necessary. With pretty much any other rom I leave GPS/Bluetooth/Data ON, sync and use both facebook and twitter widgets and get much more battery life than I do with CM6. I've looked in spare parts and nothing seems to be using a ton of CPU. They only thing I really notice different is that android reports the display as using a TON more battery than anything else. It's been said 100x in this thread that the display thing is normal. I don't know if I believe that though because the stock 2.2 ROM the display is in last place for battery consumption. I'm wiping and flashing the 8/3 nightly right now to see if I get any improvement.
[EVO 4G Android Development] engagedtosmile:
Installed the latest Fresh and its not nearly as fast as CM6. Kind of miss CM6 but having 4G will be nice. Can't wait for the Cyanogen team to get there.

I just did these steps now and my mms through handcent is still not working. Regular sms go through fine but when i try to send a picture, it just hangs and never sends. Is there anything else i could try?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gx1400:
i know i ran into issues with CM6 where /system doesn't get wiped, so all of the files there would do some hokey stuff with my system.

Use clockwork recovery and go into the partition menu, format /boot, /system, /cache, /data. now try to flash the ROM from scratch, this should be a totally clear phone now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
hmm... curiouser and curiouser..

let me know how it goes after wiping and flashing. try to stick to one build for a few battery cycles and see how it goes. if you can, try installing a system monitoring app and posting that up. that'll help in figuring out what's happening. i use this:

so guys have no been following the last 24 hours, I'm on the 08/02 nightly and just skimming through some of the notes does 08/03 have some bugs and is disabeling Protected Apps from the Market. I would like to know before I upgrade. Thanks in advance. Maybe I'll just wait for tonights build.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
you might as well wait for tonight's build. the cmsrc twitter feed shows some commits and merges to the main froyo build line. i'm not sure, but those might be implemented in tonight's compile. either way, it's only a few hours away...
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
Weird... after doing a full wipe, installing the 8/3 build and using Titanium Backup, my Chrome to Phone app doesn't work.

I did a Clear Data and set the app up again but still no luck... Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
try uninstalling and installing via the market or appbrain fast web installer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Paperninja:
I hope you guys don't stop working on this. I'd much prefer to use a senseless version of Froyo. Several reasons -

1) It's faster

2) 270 degree home screen rotation (not just apps)

3) I like the lock functions better

4) Bluetooth stack (Wii controller app works with this and I'm huge emulator fan)

5) Car Mode is better

So please, keep updating and steal sprint's 4g.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
I don't see it in the market... maybe I have to push that updated build.prop file?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
+1 ... except cyanogen is a man of open source. he's not going to steal sprint's 4g. he's just going to most likely implement clear's open-source wimax ;)

possibly. i can see it though and i'm running the latest nightly.

[EVO 4G Android Development] osi13:
Is anyone else getting frequent lockups? I feel like in the earlier builds with the V2 kernel I wasn't having any issues. Ever since the RC and every nightly after that I have been getting very frequent lockups. I have tried some of the earlier builds and I have been getting the same issues.

I have tried V4, V4.1snap kernels, V3 stock, and V3 snap. I am only able to boot the V3 stock kernel and it seems like it locks up more than the V2 kernel. What do you suggest I do. I always wipe the cache and I have wiped all data a few times.

Is anyone else experiencing these issues. I really don't want to not use CM6, I have it customized exactly how I want it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nsolo1717:
this didn't work for me and my mms still hangs and doesn't go through. although, sms is fine. I also tried the other option suggested of going into clockwork recovery and formatting data/system/cache/boot. I then reflashed the latest nightly/gapps and reinstalled all my apps. Tried Handcent and still, MMS is frozen while trying to send. Not sending the message and hanging there indefinitely. I wish i knew how to get to the bottom of this because it seems i'm one of the few with the issue =(

Did you wipe and try fresh?
[EVO 4G Android Development] anujpuri85:
google talk

Anyone having problems with Google Talk? Every time I use the messenger a minute or so, the phone automatically reboots. Anyone know how to fix this? I've tried wipes and just about everything else. All else seems to work perfectly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
I may have just plugged it in right before reading that, since I plan to be out tonight >_<.

I do have this, whatever use that might be. I'll see if I can't remember to check that out before plugging in tomorrow, though. Hopefully the next nightly continues this trend, because this is considerably better than normal.

Nothing special here, either, I don't think.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shyfe:
anyone else have flash crashing? I can't fix it with anything (reinstalling, wiping)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsolo1717:
i formatted everything through clockwork and had to reinstall everything all over again. so i assume that would be a complete wipe. I literally had to start from scratch. Unless you are speaking of Fresh Rom? MMS still hangs frozen and never sends. SMS is fine though and working properly it seems

Finally Installing...

Guys.. @Cyan and @Forum.. I have only three words.. I missed it! I was on the Droid X and I can say I miss all of this.. I have been running the Fresh 3.1+ and just Nand'd it up! Flashed this and it's booting.. I can't wait.. One thing.. Wifi Tether works on this right>?

I agree with you on the MP3 drain. Still, those numbers look pretty good. What autokiller and accompanying presets are you using?

Swyped from my EVO via the xda app
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Im not mad at the numbers but I would really like to get that MP3 drain under control. It's really almost necessary if you do any traveling or commuting. I am really hoping that Cyan can shed some light on this.

The app is actually called autokiller. When you open it, the preset that I use, from the bottom up, is 170, 160, 150. You'll see what I mean when you download it. It's not a task killer in the traditional sense. It sets parameters in the system on when to start closing unnecessary opened apps.

[EVO 4G Android Development] clipcarl:
OK, I'm not buying that wiping the stats and cycling crap. (No offense to you personally, Shift, I'm just quoting you.)

Resetting the battery stats does not change the chemistry of the battery. The battery level icon might (or might not) be more accurate, but it does not change the run time one bit. The phone does not run out of charge because of anything in the stats but because of the voltage dropping below a certain level and how long that takes at a constant power draw is based solely on the the chemical properties of the battery. There is no way that resetting battery stats can affect that.

Even if resetting the battery stats were able to somehow alter the chemical reality of your battery, cycling the Lithium Ion battery also wouldn't have any affect on battery life (except to slightly decrease it over time). It is possible that it may make the battery gauge more accurate. Or it might not. But it won't make the battery last any longer.

Remember that this is a phone with a flashable OS and removable batteries. It's quite easy to change the battery, do a complete data reset or flash a new ROM (RUU) even with a stock, unrooted phone. Do you think that HTC expects everyone that does one of those things to root their phone, install a development recovery, reset their battery stats and cycle their battery several times to get normal battery life?

You are all too intelligent to believe in magic.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Screen on time in minutes is necessary in battery life posts. We should make this a universal requisite.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
I think HTC expects that people will buy their phone and use it like a normal person without any knowledge of flashing anything, wiping battery stats, recoveries, etc., and in turn, get pretty bad battery life as it is the nature of the phone unfortunately.
[EVO 4G Android Development] criccio:
I don't know how to get that, nor is it it important to me. The fact that I made it as long as I did and I'm at 39% battery shows that with how I use my phone, my battery life is amazing.

Worlds better then the pitiful life I got when the phone was stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
I agree with you wholeheartedly about it not changing the actual chemistry of the battery. What I am inferring, however, is that the reporting of the battery by the system may be off. After a few cycles (I don't mean 100 to 0, my mistake for not being clear), battery reporting gets much clearer. I honestly don't have enough knowledge to go beyond that, I have tested that it does slightly improve. I've gone from crappy 9 hour charges to 18+. I'm just sharing what worked for me lol.

nightlies

not taking any sides here, but to access the nightlies with rom manager, yes, you have to purchase the premium version. cant access them with the free one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alvintimothyjr:
http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/supersonic/
[EVO 4G Android Development] clipcarl:
I agree with you that it could improve the reporting of the battery by the system. But the actual run time of the battery has nothing to do with that.

Well, it doesn't have anything to do with that normally. I suppose if you had rules in setcpu for example based on the battery percent remaining then in that specific case having more accurate reporting might change your battery life one way or the other.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flyingwolf:
Yes I understand that, but the program itself, is free, if you want the advanced functionality, plop down the wallet busting 3.99 and pay for the premium license.

I did, one of my best purchases.

According to appbrain I have currently 290 dollars and some change in paid apps on my phone.

Full disclosure, out of those 290 worth of apps, I probably downloaded a good 90% without paying for them, liked them, found a good use, and paid for them.

The rest, simply got uninstalled.

But seriously, you drop 400 bucks on a phone, spent another 4 to get an app to make rom switching easier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clipcarl:
Silly question, but have you tried with the built-in SMS app instead of Handcent?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Premaximum:
Love CM, but with the dailies my battery life is absolutely awful. 100% to a dead (yes, actually turned off) phone in 7 hours without any media playing, any internet browsing, with two phone calls and seven texts is just ridiculous.

Its not a phone at that point, its a voicemail box.

I'll switch back once Cyan has fixed this issue, but for now I'm out.

[EVO 4G Android Development] alvintimothyjr:
I'm happy with Cm (nightlys...all nightlys) and snap2...I get excellent battery life and performance ...my only issue is car mode activating upon reboot....I can't figure out what's causing it. Hopefully the 4g functions will be available by the time San Diego gets the technology.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mayonesa:
must be something you are doing because i have never had this problem with any of the nightly

if i dont use my phone the batt drains normal.. i do turn data off plus i make sure nothing is running in the background.

it drain when i use it like it should.. i do use SetCPU so i know that will use up some of the batt...

but nothing like that... like i said, it must be something with your phone or something you are doing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraginMagik:
- i do not believe that wiping the battery stats will change my batteries chemical compostion. (but that would be a nifty trick)

- do you know/understand what is being wiped? (and don't say 'the battery stats')

- i do not believe HTC expects us to do it...else it would be in the manual. then again, honda doesn't produce cars with less than 3" ground clearance. but folks that modify their car have to deal with different issues don't they?

- i do believe in magik. the tooth fairy herself told me that puff the magic dragon was in charge of all battery wiping BS and the easter bunny was designing an application to allow you to remotely extend your EVO kickstand.

whats the first question the IT guy asks you when you have an issue? "when did you reboot last?" if you knew how many times folks never came back to us afterwards you would understand why we have folks do it. it saves everyone time and money...if the issue is significant, they will be back.

sometimes its easier to provide a non-technical solution for base level troubleshooting.

if you wish to understand more about the battery table, then simply ask.

yea, i'm hoping cyanogen can comment on what's going on too. also, i'm going to check out autkiller. seems like a useful app.

it may not matter to you, but it's a good scale to compare to with others.

true. either way, we both agree that there's something off about the battery, whether it's the reporting or a leak(s) somewhere.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Premaximum:
Full wipe + cache, install. Next day, 7 hour battery. I was getting great battery life on the nightlies being released just before the RC1, but ever since that its just been getting worse and worse. It could be Facebook + Twitter widget sync, but I'm syncing the same as I always have. Battery is just draining worse.

I hate every other ROM out there. I can't stand Sense, it actually pisses me off to have to use it. I really want CM.

anyone else having an issue where apps that you purchased on the marketplace ask you to " buy " them again instead of an install. i just did a complete wipe data/cache and flashed cm6 and everything i have bought is now acting like it never happened. I searched the forums and only thing i could find is ppl saying protected apps not showing up. But for me they are showing up , but it's saying i never bought them
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
You didn't back them up in titanium??? If not, the only thing I can think of is (if you have one) go into recovery and restore a previous nandroid backup, install titanium, batch/backup/ then wipe,re-flash, download titanium again, restore batch (only apps).

If you don't have any nandroids at all, you just might be sol bud. I'd say wipe/flash re-install everything once more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsolo1717:
i have a rom manager backup from yesterday. Hopefully that will work. Let's see, thanks for the tip
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
Alright, that'll work. Just use titanium as I said to backup your apps in the restored rom. When your in the backup, make sure your market still shows your downloaded/purchased apps. If it doesn't, that may mean something's wrong with your account but fixing that would be far out of my league lol.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
New observation. Not sure if this happens on everyone's phone but it has happened to me two days in a row now. When charging the phone to 100, the charge percentage disappears from the lockscreen and the battery gauge appears full at 98%. Once the charge hits 99%, the charge amount comes back on the lock screen and the battery gauge looks like it's charging again. The difference between 98% and 100% is probably about 20 minutes of charge. I'd be willing to guess that people have unplugged the phone when the battery gauge looks full thinking that they've hit 100 but the phone is actually at 98%. I know I have fallen for it.
