im on hardware 002 but since flashing to 3.30.651.3 i have notice battery drain with screen on on freshes 3.4.1. Would the best solution be to go back to freshes 3.3.0.1 or if i can should i downgrade back to 3.29 if i can, and stay on fresh 3.4.1.

Are you getting bettor or worse battery life with fresh 3.3.0.1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SilentSummer:
It seems (now that 3.4 has been isntalled for some time) that battery life is a tad bit worse then it was with 3.3.

[EVO 4G Android Development] wingzfan:
I went back to 3.3 last night and Im in the middle of calibrating my battery again. Im about to "stress test" it running what I usually did with 3.4, playing music through bluetooth headphones using wifi. Generally I could do this about 6 hours on 3.4 and have roughly 60 % left (extended battery). We'll see later how everything compares.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neo3D:
I agree!!! Not a tad bit but I get about 20% less runtime on average.

I thought there was something wrong with my battery, but I think it's Fresh. :(

Hope there's an update soon!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sidezero:
Just downgrade to 3.3.0.1 and you'd be all set.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsschappell:
Switching back to Fresh 3.3 reigned in the runaway Android system battery usage that I had on 3.4.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brianwilcox:
I can testify that this is true. I downgraded yesterday and my battery life is great again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bball77:
Sidezero,

What were the settings (ROM, kernel, etc.) for your Evo when you got 96 hrs before you had to recharge?

Thx
[EVO 4G Android Development] wingzfan:
HUGE difference. Listening to music through bluetooth for 3 hours and Ive dropped 6%. No calls but about 30 texts and 3 emails.

On 3.4 this exact usage dropped me about 20%.

Now the question is are the devs gonna maintain 2 versions of roms?
[EVO 4G Android Development] apollooff320:

I hadn't really installed anything except pandora at the time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
I thought I had decent battery life with 3.4.0.1, but I thought there was a one Fresh ROM which was killer in the battery life, but can't remember. I get roughly a day and 8 to 10 hours more with 3.4.0.1

I may go back to 3.3 since it is already in my sd card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrwicked:
Do I need to do a full wipe when downgrading to 3.3? I rooted and went straight to 3.4 and I am experiencing bad battery life.

are you guys using any of the newer kernels with 3.3.0.1 ? im looking for the best battery life since i dont play games on mine. Gonna try Netchys netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass-universal (More Aggressive Undervolting)
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
NOPE - just wipe each cache and not the data and flash it over the 3.4.01
[EVO 4G Android Development] randymac88:
I was seeing more battery drain on 3.4, so I flashed back to 3.3 and my great battery is back. But, the camera on 3.4 was noticeably better than 3.3, so I don't know if its just an update to match the hardware.

Wouldn't patching a kernel such as Net's null any difference in battery life difference from 3.3.0.1 to 3.4.0.1. The ROM doesn't affect battery life, the kernel does.

Fresh doesn't update until an OTA or something of the like is released. Hence, not for a while... stop asking!

[EVO 4G Android Development] cds36:
i think it has everything to do with the 3.30.651 and your hardware version. I have 002 and seen a big difference since downgrading to 3.3.0.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomh1979:
there was just an ota pushed out, thats why people are asking about when is it getting updated

previous version was 3.30.651.2, which is wha

the current fresh 3.4.01 is based off of, however the newest release is now 3.30.651.3, so yes people are asking for updates for a reason.

thought you might want to know this!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
.3 is a patch not a full upgrade hence why flipz hasn't made a whole new Rom .3 was just a kernel and software tweek that's why it was only a 6mb update and not a 150mb Rom

Sent from my Evo at the edge of hell
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
Yes and no. Yes it will slightly fix battery drain in terms of what the kernel uses but the netframe is different between the two roms because of the camera hardware so it can still severely drain your bsttery. This is the reason that ricsim has two roms out one with 3.29 and another with 3.30 for hw 003 and 004 respectively.

anyone else getting random reboots while playing youtube/flash? at first i thought it was the youtube app but then it happened in the mobile youtube site, then again through another non-youtube embedded flash video played in a website. it just reboots the phone instantly.

there's no way to replicate this as of yet. sometimes i can play a whole video fine but i would say 5-10% of the time it'll reboot randomly. it doesn't happen when playing a video file with Gallery or Rock Player though.\

This is with 3.4.0.1. I don't recall having this issue with the prior versions of Fresh. I've done a complete wipe to fix a battery drain issue and the problem has carried over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsschappell:
Last night I turned off wifi and all that when I went to bed which is what I usually do when I want to see just the raw battery drain without use (wifi, bt, 4g, 3g, background data are all disabled). Before 3.4.0.1 I wouldn't drop one percent over night. After upgrading to 3.4.0.1 doing the same thing would drop it about 15-20%, regardless of what kernel I tried.

Last night running netarchy's latest beta kernel, 0% drop in battery over 7 hours so it has returned to what it was. WiFi and the 2% drop were from this morning's checking of mail. K9 is a hell of a battery hog.

So I don't think the kernel really has much to do with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tracerit:
0% drop over 7 hours, but you probably lost like 10-15% just using the phone casually for the next 10-15 minutes. i've noticed this pattern.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsschappell:
You may be right. I'm going to charge it up and play a radio stream while I drive to work. That would gobble up about 30-40% of the battery on 3.4.0.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
How long is the drive? 30 to 40%? what else do you use while you are streaming radio? I have never seen that much discharge of the battery ever in short or an hour drive to work.

I am going to stick with 3.4.0.1. I have seen better battery discharge if I use System Panel to kill all the process when the battery is fully charged. If I don't do that, I get a good day and overnight out of the battery. If I do kill all of the process, I do get good 30 to 40 hours of normal use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sidezero:
Are you on HW 0002 or 0003? If so why stay on a version based on an OTA Sprint has confirmed is not optimized for your phone? It's obvious that they never meant for anyone to run it on those hardware versions based on their release notes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cemzie:
anywhere i can find a flashable zip of the kernel from 3.3.0.1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsschappell:
About an hour and twenty minutes to commute. Today it was around 8% streaming radio and bluetooth, but I drove so it was about half the time (40 minutes), so a wag would be I saved about 14% on the battery.

[EVO 4G Android Development] N00dle:
does no one read anymore?

this isn't an issue with the Rom, this is Facebook for HTC and Facebook for Android issue creating their own contacts. Just go into the Facebook app and settings and uncheck sync with contacts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nacomoon:
I don't think I was clear enough, sorry. I took off Facebook for HTC from Accounts & sync and was only syncing Facebook for Android. What I am saying is that

JUST

Facebook for Android is continuously making new lists of all your friends
[EVO 4G Android Development] N00dle:
Still not a rom issue but I think once Facebook for HTC makes it's mark on contacts there is no way to reverse it other than one by one or wiping all your contacts.

You could try wiping contacts then make sure that FB for HTC is not syncing contacts then resync contacts with Google maybe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bhhandley:
Don't think you need to delete the contact...

Pretty sure HTC adds a note to your google contact which you can just delete to remove the links. Just go into your gmail, look at a contact that has a FB link and delete the note that looks like:

<sn>id:1234567890/friendof:9876543210</sn>
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nacomoon:
o no...you just need to remove HTC's FB from Accounts & sync to remove its "mark" from your contacts.

Furthermore, I installed FB 1.3 using Fresh updater so it may be an issue with Flipz patch. Doubt it though :D

I'm really just trying to see if anyone else is having a problem with Facebook 1.3 linking a new instance of the same profile to your contacts every time it syncs. My guess is that it just isn't removing/deleting the old one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] klbjr:
Just witnessed something weird. Was using Netarchy's Froyo rooted ROM. Restored all of my apps using MyBackup then decided to give this a try. Wiped everything and installed Fresh. To my surprise when after first boot & sync all of my apps were already pre-installed without me having to restore with MyBackup or Titanium. Is this a new feature of Froyo that I missed? Usually a data/davlich/cache wipe and installation of a new Rom deletes all existing apps & data requiring a restore or re-download.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ausch30:
1) Not everyone dislikes sense and with the additions that the developers put in their ROMS + themes + alternative launchers and stuff, you can use sense and not have it look like stock sense. Just look through the "post your screens" thread. Yes you can just have a rooted stock EVO, just flash the stock rooted rom.

2) CM6 has the toggles and I believe I saw a sense based ROM with them. Plus, I thought I saw a zip somewhere that you can just flash to get them. Do a search, you might be able to find it. Me personally, I just use Power Control widget.

3) There is another thread where someone wrote a script that removes all sense, not to mention, there is at least one ROM that is based on the stock ROM but has all the sense elements stripped out.

4) I used an earlier version of CM6 for a while but I've been using Fresh exclusively for the last few months so I couldn't tell you. I get around 30hrs of moderate usage with this ROM, I can deal with that.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ausch30:
From the OP

Changes from Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1 to 3.4.0.1:

* Based on a new Sprint OTA (3.30.651.2)

* New kernel by HTC (g0f673ed)

o Modified slightly to allow apps2sd and remount to work

o Has fps unlocked by default, straight from HTC's source!

* Upped MMS size limit to 5mb (thanks to calkulin)

* Added mod to prevent MMS from compressing image unless it's over 5mb limit (thanks to calkulin)

* Added mod to unlock Sprint wired tether so that you can tether straight through the normal USB menu when you plug in your phone (thanks to calkulin. If it's not working for you then you are probably missing drivers on your computer. Check device manager. Works on 3g or wifi only)

* Updated Wireless Tether to 2.0.5-pre-11

* Updated DarkTremor apps2sd to 2.7.5.2

* Updated Google Maps to 4.5.1

* Updated Google Search to 1.1.2

* Updated YouTube to 2.0.26

* Updated busybox to 1.16.0

* There were no radio updates or updates to any system apks or jars in this OTA.

* 3.4.0.0-3.4.0.1: Fixed a browser bug. Find the small patch in Fresh Updater if you were on 3.4.0.0 already

You have to format your sd card and then install Fresh, the instructions are in all of the Fresh threads and on this site

i have a 003 old evo (from a week after the original release), down graded to fresh 3.3.0.1 from 3.4.0.1, don't notice much of a difference *shrug*

there may be some difference between hardware models and battery life in regards to the 3.30 sprint kernel update, or all the difference seen could be in our heads; we all know how hard it is to really make a battery comparison, as how much time you spend with fringe service (getting reception, but not great reception) or poor service makes the BIGGEST difference on battery life irrespective of the kernel you are using.

also, IMO the camera is much better in 3.4.0.1. Took shots in of my kids in exact same location ten minutes apart, and there is just no comparison. going to be running 3.4.0.1 for now unless I see a huge hit on my battery.

if you are NOT using apps2sd, and are just using the google "move to SD", I use Titanium backup to move any app to the SD.

only thing to keep in mind, when you wipe Dalvik-cache, you will lose these apps. what I do is in Titanium backup settings I check the box to restore programs to their original location (this is NOT checked by default) and just restore missing apps after a flash, and voila, back to normal.

as far as other reasons to update, see the changelog in post 1.
