sry for the late submission..but I wanted to give some decent suggestions..but first... I'd like to contribute to the retardation of the battery debacle we have here...hence the lovely pic above.

Now for what I've gathered from reading 100's if not 1000's of post since I've become a member:

Some recommend to first let the battery drain completely and then give a full charge>boot to recovery and wipe battery stats.

Go through 2-3 cycles of battery life; try not to charge until battery is 10% or less then give a full charge.

Come back and post your results. - without patience and observation, you can not truly comment on the condition of battery life from a freshly flashed rom.

Additionally, considering the other elements like keeping auto sync on, other apps that access data, gps, bluetooth, display settings, wifi, # of calls/data/sms... and not to mention overclocking or underclocking...etc etc...

I think that anyone trying to compare one's battery life to the next person's EVO will have an inaccurate assumption about their own day-to-day use of their EVO.

The only way to really test consistency is by having everyone try the same exact agenda and THEN post results.

Pro Tip: Go to the upper part of this thread and search for the "search this thread" button and then hover over and click advanced search and click. THIS IS LIKE MAGIC ISN'T IT? Like OMFGWTFBBQSAUCE!

It is my recommendation that if you havent already

FLASH LATEST NIGHTLY + cm6 snap v1 no setcpu

i am 53 fps 4.83 stdev

linpack 43.704

quandrant 1210-1350 just hit 1421
[EVO 4G Android Development] amw1972:
did all that...still no joy...
[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
if your rooted just use titanium, if it gives you a error hit menu and download busybox update or something along that line
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnathan9:
I've tested this several times by flashing previous nightlies, RC1, and so on.

protocol:

wipe /data/cache/davik-cache (yes, I wipe everything XD)

I'm seeing a consistency in a video recording issue when I try to capture video via MMS. I get a mere 1-3 secs of recording and then thats it. I've tried to change teh quality of the recording ONLY in regular video camcorder since I can not see the options while in MMS. - I changed it to a MMS standard but I still get 1-3 secs of video recording only.

I've yet to log any results. Can anyone duplicate this problem?

:confused:

I would benefit you if you are rooted to update to the 1.47 xxxxx so you have the new radio and wiimax radio dont make life hard on yourself!
[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
I just did it got a timer of 30sec in left corner went all the way through recipient says they recieved it
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnathan9:
Yikes. I must have a setting out of order then. **scratching my head** :confused:

Question.

Are you already in stock MMS and then hitting menu>attach>video capture - Are you doing this and achieving a full 30 seconds?

OR

Are you going directly to camera and recording MMS low 30s and then attempting to send?

Your feedback in invaluable.

Thank you.

Wow

.

Okay......I might not be the SMARTEST guy in the world but what does 73% of total power used have to do with "having the screen on that much?" Its 73% of your total power use.....not 73% of the time the power was used. Hence....the screen uses the most power TOTAL of all things monitored. You could have 50 hours of battery and still have a 73% total use coming from the screen. Extend it by installing POWER MANAGER v 1.6.2 from the market. Best screen / backlight / bluetooth / wifi power manager on the market. Allows you to set profiles based on you CURRENT power situation (AC, USB, Battery.....etc).

But seriously.....what is so difficult to understand about this concept?

PS CY.......i have ran each and every nightly update and the RC1. This thing kicks serious tail.

As an aside....does anyone know why the CAR HOME app has, on the second screen, empty tiles that you can't do anything with (like add Slacker or Pandora).

Thanks guys.

With turbo you can expect quadrant scores from 2100 to 2500 depending on your phone and overclock. Basically your heap is amount of memory allocated to running processes. You can adjust it in cyan settings>performance settings.

Oh, and CM final. Keeping things simple. I did the nightlies up to 6.0final. I'm good on them for a while :D haha

ahh.. you're on sense? hmm... download the app, alogcat, and just run it before trying to tether and then email yourself the output and post it on xda. i'm not sure if troubleshooting an issue on sense in this thread would be wise ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ameetmedi:
I know.. Feel free to remove my post... I am sure I will be back to CM6 soon enough, Miss my 60+ battery with 7.6 cfs , so i thought I would give it a try on the Sense ROM. ONe of the best thinks i like on the Myn mod is the black keyboard, perhaps there is a way to get the keyboard back on the CM6 and then i am all set.

So I give an unbiased opinion, and I should crawl back to where I came from? Thanks for adding nothing to the thread. I wasn't expecting a response like this, and I apologize that I made you get up off of your knees to have to type that awesome bunch of nothing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Semantics:
Okay, a little more info. I am using the latest nightly, which is perhaps why I am experiencing the problems that I have mentioned. I'm not going back to .76 or whatever to flash the final and it will not load on my phone. I know the nightlies are experimental or whatever, but this has been my experience and its not user error.

It was not my intention to rile up the fanboys, I was simply stating MY experience.

I am on cm6 and snap 7.6. I tried flashing the last two nightlies overtop of cm6, and my camera app fc as soon as its open.

Everything else works like buttah
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
It might be turbo. Have you tried flashing snap right after the nightly? Or a wipe might be needed. When you flash cm it replaces the kernel with the stock kernel. This might cause problems with turbo enabled.

Yup, you were right. I cleared everything and reflashed and everything worked. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
So I'm actually going to be bringing my phone into Best Buy to try and get it fixed/replaced. They're going to send it away for a couple weeks and stick me with a loaner phone. I don't know what I'm going to do without my CM6!!

Backed up my nandroids to my laptop so I can restore back to CM6 when I get my/an EVO back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
If you get a new/different EVO back, I strongly suggest not restoring nand. It has the ID of the old phone, and may potentially cause more problems. I just set up a completely new, fresh installation and restored apps via Froyo and the Market. Any missing apps I just synced with AppBrain. Just a heads up.

[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Especially since amon backups up your wimax.img now.

PS make sure you unroot, cause if its going to HTC good luck getting a replacement when they see its rooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Hmm... Didn't think of that. Restoring with Titanium Backup should be fine though, right?

I'm using Clockwork at the moment... Didn't realize amon backs that up now. I'll have to switch to amon when I get the new phone since I don't want my WiMax to get screwed up every again.

Also, I'm restoring the phone with the 1.39.00.05.31 RUU to make sure it's Stock (I didn't do S-OFF). I'm using that version because I want to be able to use SimpleRoot to re-root if they tell me that they can't guarantee me not getting stuck with the loaner phone.

A bit OT now but here's my problems with getting my phone fixed:

I got my EVO just before the first OTA and it broke when I installed the Unrevoked version of that first OTA. So that was MONTHS ago. I've been getting screwed over by this whole ordeal since the EVO is STILL not in stock at any Best Buys near me. I missed my 30 day exchange window because nobody had it, now I have to send it in to Best Buy (I bought the Black Tie protection) and they'll spend 2 weeks max to decide if they can fix it. Otherwise I get a new one... In the mean time I'm stuck with a loaner. I've gotten mixed stories about what happens if I do get a replacement. If they mail me one, reserve one for me, if I'm stuck with the loaner while I wait, if I get to use my old one while I wait, etc...

Anyone have any experience with Best Buy insurance? A PM would be nice. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
I've seen isolated instances where a Titanium Backup restore bonked 3G. Just to be safe, I recommend the long approach.

Also, to partially shed some light on replacements...

I did the whole insurance claim route and they sent me a brand new EVO, Nova 003. The thing is, they didn't guarantee or promise a new one. But, it's apparently Sprint's policy to replace with new ones, if possible. Just keep that in mind.

[EVO 4G Android Development] locozildjiangodx:
I am a former employee of Best Buy Mobile (left on good terms etc etc) and have seen this a lot. Here is the process:

Bring in your phone, OH NOEZ IT DUN BROKED!, send off, tap foot for 2-4 weeks...then 1 of 2 things will happen.

1) they actually fix your phone, wooheee!

2) It will reach 30 days and you get to go into the store for a brand new one. problem is there are no brand new ones. so then its up to see if their manager is good. what we used to do was make exceptions, so, for instance (and again this is case by case not policy etc), we would give you an epic if we had it, and, 30 days or not, we would get you an evo. so if its over we would make an exception and switch your epic with an evo or what have you. if you have other questions PM me
[EVO 4G Android Development] RickBaller:
Forgive me if this has been addressed earlier in the thread but has anyone experienced slow and roughly inaccurate GPS performance. It seems like since moving to CM6 my GPS takes longer to fix a location and it's usually a couple hundred yards or more away from where I actually am. Has cyanogen addressed this at all for upcoming revisions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
some people are having issues with gps cache. there's an app (i forget what it's called), but it wipes it clean and you can download the gps info all over again, leading to quicker locks after the initial download. i'll update this post if i can find the app.

im running a modded cm6 & snap turbo from magnus (link here)

if i go to just a reg cm6 nightly.....would i have to do a 'complete wipe' even though his rom is based off cm6 or can i just flash the newest nightly over his rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:
Hey Don!! lol You can try but the best way will always be the clean install. I know its a pain but Its worth it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kollock:
I'm pretty sure if you flash snap and enable turbo mode, you have to full wipe to ditch snap. You also need to flash flightly+immediately flash snap, or you'll get teh boot loopz :>
[EVO 4G Android Development] DonRSD:
hello there fellow blu man :cool:

im going to TRY to just install a nightly over the rom i have.

when i 1st did the modded cm6 install i had to flash a nightly....boot the phone then go back into recovery to boot the mod rom & snap turbo.

i dont see why if im running a cm6 nightly now from a few weeks back why i wouldnt be able to flash right over it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
You might be able to. I don't know why a rom would recommend flashing over another rom. Sounds fishy unless your using that method to fix components that are broke. Its like oil. Can you just keep pouring more into your engine. Of course. But when problems arise you're gonna wish you took the time to just flush it. :)

But if you don't want to, then go right ahead and flash over it. If it uses the same base it should work. But I can't guarentee there will be no hiccups

Does cyanogenmod turn this on? Do I need to do something else to enable it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Semantics:
I'm not making any argument. I merely stated the experience I was having, and was told things like crawl back under your rock. I never bashed anyone, I said I was getting terrible battery life, and I was. The minute I said this, people piled on saying its user error, I'm nuts, its the fastest ROM on earth, etc. My comment was for the person who told me to crawl under a rock because my initial experience wasn't fantastic.

I said it before, I really wanted to use this ROM for an extended period. Perhaps because I had to flash a nightly, my user experience is not what it should be had I been using the final version, and I was sincerely disappointed, because I've been reading this thread here and there for over a month trying to get through all the posts, and the vast majority seem to think nothing compares.

Sorry if I offended anyone, as it was not my intention.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jones79:
When my new Evo gets here (old Evo + concrete = glad I bought insurance) I definitely want to give CM a try, my question is this, can I load this Rom / Kernel for my general use, and when I travel to a 4G area do a full wipe and load a sense based Rom / Kernel that has working 4G, then full wipe and flash back to CM when I get back home? Will this cause any problems?

Thanks in advance for any help.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ISSMER:
Jones79,

No issues...that is what many do...
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
i was actually referring to the "fanboy" comment, but anyway...

it sucks that you found it to be troublesome. it's the first i've heard of it being like that. honestly, as passionate as we are about cm, we are just kind of confused to hear this since it's not only new, but unrelated to the rom. the only laggy issues i've heard of was fixed by changing some memory cache settings on the launcher or vm heap size. that's all.

i still recommend you give cm another try (i'm not a drug dealer, i swear). any issues you come across, shoot me a pm, and i can help you get it up and running smoother than a cucumber.

what error are you getting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jones79:
Thanks for the quick reply! I can't wait to give it a shot! Looks like CM has quite the support following too if people run into problems, which is a huge bonus.

Battery life on the 10/3 nightly was fine, but charging told unusually long...very long. I had my phone on charge for six hours this morning and was only about 87% charged. I decided to revert back to CM6 stable for the moment.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nize2beme:
bluetooth

been a while since I used CM6 b/c of battery life. I think it's finally at the point that I could use it again (plus I am getting my 3500mah in the mail any day now) but I still see there is a bluetooth issue. I flashed the nightly from two days ago and it ran through 80% of my battery in 3 hours of no use (I was taking a nap). I checked spare parts and saw the phone was on 100% and the bluetooth was on 100%. Now it wasn't connected to bluetooth, never had this problem w/ leaving bluetooth on with FreshRom either. So is it just me? It's pretty much a manila flash, used CM6, no extra kernel on top or anything. Turned off bluetooth and got 3% drain in the next 3 hours! any fix for this, dunno if I want to risk forgetting to turn off bluetooth one day and next thing I know stranded somewhere w/o any battery left or a charger.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
I have experienced the same issues and I don't think there is a fix. I only use my bluetooth while I am driving, but the drain isn't that bad for me. Perhaps it is because use setcpu to lock the processor at minimum speeds when screen is off?

I have CM stable w/ snap 7.6CFS (no turbo). I get about 30 hours on a typical battery cycle normally.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Not just you. This issue has been around for a long time and doesn't seem like anything is being done about it. If you have to use BT a lot or if you like to leave it on just in case, CM6 is not the rom for you right now. Hopefully it will be fixed eventually.

I've seen a lot of posts that are basically complaints regarding the battery life of the nightlies.

I don't mean to disparage the propensity for productivity and helpfulness in this thread but I would just like to state that if you have an issue with the nightlies, you're flashing them at your own risk.

I've been fine with 6.0 for a while now, when 6.1 comes out I trust that it will be an improvement.

If you're too impatient to wait, try one of the sense roms that are known to have better battery life.

The thread is titled "6.0.0 - 8/28" for a reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Hey, so would anyone care to refresh my memory on the current state of auto brightness for the screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
Until I see a test as comprehensive as Shift's detailing bad battery life, I have a hard time believing anybody about the topic. I'm a pretty heavy user, but a charge will last me about 12 hours. That's with at least 4 hours of screen on time.

Would I love for it to be more? Of course, but I bought some backup batteries and I charge my phone when I can, so it's not too big a deal. If I leave my phone alone, the battery life is great. A little under 1% an hour on 3G.

I couldn't justify the clunkiness of Sense to get potentially better battery life.
