Dear xda,

It is absolutely inaccurate to post battery findings right after a wipe and flash of anything. Many people seem uneducated on batteries and what helps with the charge.

If you wipe at say 50% juice, I expect your battery to drain fast. Your pulling the stats therefore confusing what the battery is actually at. Before you complain about battery, you should really have at least one charge cycle in.

If I wipe, its done at 100%. Some people might not agree, but hey, I've really never been one to complain about battery so maybe I'm doing something right :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] hoopsdavis:
Thanks, I appreciate it.

I just posted my settings a couple of pages back and they work well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Dear barnacles10,

Many of us do understand that. However, having the Android system keep a wakelock of 80-100% is not normal. It is killing the battery even if not touching the phone.

If I open setcpu and don't touch the phone it is constantly running at 384 even if the min is 245 and the phone is not being used. This is not a normal behavior and it concerns us the users being affected.

We appreciate your input but we also want you to understand what's happening. I know it is early to complain on battery life and personally I'm not complaining about that. What I'm complaining about is why Android system is keeping this wake lockand keeps running all the time. Until then, our batteries will keep dying in a couple of hours.

I just did a full wipe and I'm testing as I type this. I will continue to test and report results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorgeszabo:
I'm seeing this as well. Since I have turned off lock screen gestures android system is not keeping the wake lock.

I left the phone unplugged overnight and after 9 hours I had about a 10% drain. I don't know about everyone else but that seems ok to me.

[EVO 4G Android Development] amw1972:
Am on RC2...and have been experiencing problems installing apps side load OR from market. I'm in the process of re-formating my SD card. I have been told that it is an issue that was noted. Was there any OTHER fixes?

Also, I wasn't able to upgrade certain apps.

was wondering if anyone can link me to the post or posts that addresses these issues?

Or will the format of the SD card take care of the problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I feel I must chime in on this topic...

I was experiencing the same battery issues, as well as gps lock issues, with the stock kernel and tried all the normal techniques to eliminate it, to no avail. To experiment, I flashed a different kernel (ZenDroid CFS 0.9) and wiped dalvik and cache. Upon reboot, like magic my android system use was WAY down and i used navigation successfully for half an hour.

Not saying the kernel is the problem (each phone is different, who knows if this is just me), but figured this was worth mentioning so that others may experiment with this. :)

Edit: forgot to mention, I have five lockscreen gestures active (but not the second set of sliders).

@ luisrcastillo & 12many

i've been running a fresh, stock (not even signed into google) cm6.1 rc2 build and i'm getting ~40% and higher use of the android system. lockscreen gestures is enabled with one gesture. keep in mind, i'm not even using the phone for anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JasonK75:
I tried the GPS Setup advice from a few pages back and wanted to report that it didn't work. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
I'm not sure what's causing android system wakelock/battery burn, but I dinked with it long enough (stayed up til 3am last night)...I was starting to get a little insane over it. Went back to nightly #177 to take a breather for a couple days. Hopefully the issue gets narrowed down by us users....the devs already have enough to contend with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
yea, i think it's got to do with the gestures. when i turned them off, i got more manageable numbers (~15%).. i'll take a look at it in more depth as i get more data from other users and share my findings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SleepyS40:
Alright, I rarely post in here but I thought I would chime in.

Fresh install of rc2 coming from the nightly's. I have 2 gestures set. But no 2nd set of sliders.

I can post my setcpu settings if you want. I also feel that I use my phone a decent amount. But as I type this my Android system has gone up another 3%. Either way, I feel that my usage would cause my battery to be used.

[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
15% is a huge improvement. I might re-flash RC2, then try all suggestions that were made in this thread (turn off gestures, reset SetCPU auto detect....etc). I'll report back after a day or two. :)

4G on CyanogenMod

Hi, I just have a quick question. I downloaded Cyanogen Mod via Rom manager and installed it on my unrevoked rooted EVO and I'm absolutely loving it. My question is how can I get 4G on this or do I have to sacrifice 4G for the beauty of the awesome CyanogenMod Rom???? :confused:

Thanks

Does it work on the Sense ROM?

Are ActiveSync connections allowed on your Exchange mailbox?
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
So after a full wipe, reflash and manually restoring apps things seem more stable for now. Android system is no longer keeping a wake lock. Only been running for about an hour so I will continue to watch this and will let you know if issue comes again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingFnerb:
Yeah, no problems with sense rom or if I use the touchdown app; which I really don't like.

Wifi isn't resuming after sleeping. Checking wifi settings it just shows scanning. Have to cycle the control in order to get it to connect again. For now I've just disabled the sleep policy. Anyone else having similar issues?
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
be NICE how hard is it to READ the OP ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
wifi works fine here after sleep :/ no idea
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Don't do it through settings. Go into the Email application itself and add the account; when you put in your email address and password, it will have a "Manual Setup" tab just below the password. Press that, then Exchange ActiveSync, and it will ask you for the specific information you wish to input. I needed to do this for my company, and while it never worked through settings, it did through the Email app.

With a caveat ... it didn't work with the one that came with the rom (it always said it couldn't establish a link with the server). I downloaded a "hacked" Email 2.2 apk from XDA (that doesn't require security settings), deleted the old one, then pushed the new one to /system/app through adb. I then set up the accounts as described above, waited for everything to be synced and downloaded, then reflashed the rom in recovery. Upon reboot it asked to create the security settings. If you don't want the security settings and are willing to tolerate an older Email version, you don't need to reflash the rom.

If you want the apk to push through adb, send me a PM and I will send it to you. I also found it a while back on the XDA forums, so with some digging you may find it as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cjayasuriya:
Not that hard I guess lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mayonesa:
I didnt want to add to rhis but I will say this.

No matter the post count or if its the 1st time you flash. I would imagine someone may want to know what they are doing before they start. Why would you flash uf you dint know everything about the rom?

Same idea should go with everything in life. Learn as much as you can before you start.

Random question; With this new Evo I'm stuck with only Amon RA as a recovery option. With Clockwork I was able to change the names of Nandroid backups so I could name one like "CM Base" or "Stock ROM" etc. How can I change names with Amon RA?
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
using a file browser & renaming them? with amon_ra they are in the "nandroid" folder on the sd card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenags:
Thats what I thought, but wasn't sure if renaming them would F them up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
that's a fair question.. but how else would you do it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenags:
With Clockwork you could do it in ROM Manager. Wasn't sure if anything was pointing to the standard file name that Amon was making or anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
I've been renaming them thru a file explorer such as Astro since day 1. Not one "F" up. :)

And how can you say you are "stuck" with Amon_RA, it's a great recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
+1 its a great recovery. i'd recommend it to everyone. some people shouldn't be relying on rom manager to do everything for them anyway.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Leukay:
Is auto backlight on? When you are using auto backlight, the capacitive lights turn off if there is enough light to see them without the lights on. If auto backlight is on, try turning it off to see if that fixes it. Or cover the light sensor

the stock cm kernel. at least until snap v9 drops

with which kernel?

the only other one i've seen anyone relatively happy with is the zendroid kernel

ill give it a go i guess. i thought the bcblend one would work well, it's also for miui.

Just have to say I can't use sense at all. I tried to while in vegas to use 4g, but I ditched it. Thanks for all the great work on this rom and all the nice little features that have made its way into it. Any chance of getting contact merging as a feature. That is about the only thing I do miss from the sense rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
not being able to merge forced me to organize my gmail contacts & maintain them. i'm much happier with a clean database of contacts vs having to merge everyone in sense.

can you check spare parts and see whats killing your battery. from my experience i noticed that in RC1 and 2, winamp keeps the phone awake. as soon as i took it off and used the stock AOSP. everything is back to normal. look for the rogue app. i can assure you the battery in RC2 is not unusually more consumptive.
