What are you using in regards to apps?

right now I have these apps loaded:

-Google Voice

-Handcent

-facebook

-PdaNet

-Slingplayer

-Spare Parts

-twitter

-WordFeud

I have everything optimized for battery, sync and after last night's charge...back to 100%. I am thinking it might be a hardware issue with the charger?

Did you update with the leaked HTC "unofficial" version of Froyo at any time? I am going to do a full data wipe and try this one more time...but if it happens again I am going to become a EPIC owner I guess.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Reliablesand:
Okay. This battery life sounds awesome, but I'm not getting anything near this.

I'm using ra recovery 1.8.and I wiped data, cache, and Dalvic before flashing fresh 3.2. I'm currently at 15% after 6.5 hours with 1.5 hours of that me using the phone. I've had less than stellar performance with baked snack 1.7 too. I just don't get it. I don use juice defender setcpu or anything like that.

I did also clear battery stats. Could that be part of the problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kthejoker20:
I turned off the GPS, and I get tremendous battery life.

Try it, that might narrow it down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yutlin:
I never installed the "unofficial" Froyo update so we can rule that out. As for apps, I installed these on top of Fresh 3.2.0.0:

Launcher Pro

Beautiful Widgets

Switcher Pro

Contacts Widget

Facebook

Slacker

Newzbin

NPR

Spare Parts

EStrongs File Explorer

I'm going to try the following:

Wipe everything

Install Stock 2.2 Kernel

Install Fresh 3.2.0.0

Not install any apps

Not setup any sync accounts

Wait a couple days to see if sleeping bug crops up

This issue in really frustrating!! I wish there was a tool we could use (beyond Spare Parts) to diagnose what is keeping the phone awake.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mylasthope:
I'm having this problem too--not authenticating! Any work around?

im sure noone cares, but teeter cant be installed.. is this an incompatibility issue with the rom, or because of froyo? thnks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Are you trying to "install" it? or copy it into /system/app?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tracerit:
how do i install this ROM? first time to installing a custom ROM...

do i just drag all the contents of the ROM into the SD card, boot into hboot and choose Recovery and flash the Fresh ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnsonwcjw:
+1 This issue has been driving me nuts.. It happend to me running AVA, Fresh 3.1.0.2, and now Virus with the exact same descriptions u describe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
Leave it as zip do not extract it. Then yes just use recovery to flash zip fresh Rom and probably wipe data cache and dalvik since your not on fresh currently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yubby:
Same problem here to had to set it to sprint only. No roaming

[EVO 4G Android Development] prettyboyrob2007:
can someone help me. the htc FM radio wont install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aversusb:
All we are sharing is the faceboook app. Do you use google voice as your voicemail? What is your SMS client? The only thing that I can see every now and then in Sapre Parts is that the Dialer is taking up a ton of the "Network" time and has a longer red bar than blue.

This reload I did a data, cache and dalvik wipe x2. I have not removed anything from Fresh 3.2 using Fresh Kitchen. Nor have I added any apk's back from using Estrong.

I have added two alarm clocks (gotta get up for work!) via the clock widget, twidroyd Pro, Facebook, ChompSMS and Spare parts. So far I have charged back to green and removed from USB and rebooted. No 100% awake as of yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rcubed3r:
My 3G is EXTREMELY slow after loading this ROM. I just rooted today for the first time, so I expect I am doing something wrong. Everything else seems to be running fine right now.

Do i need to update my radio or anything else?

I am seeing ~50kbps DL speed!

Thanx,

Ron

**** STATUS UPDATE ****

so far this rom is running faster than lightning, good battery life, went 10hrs today and still had about 45% battery left before i put it on the charger ( might be going out for the night and need a full charge just in case ).. after setting up True Apps2sd by partitioning the sdcard and setting the swap size to 128mb ( i didnt activate swap by using any swap app at all) and using kings #8 bfs kernel, this Evo is running faster than i can keep up with and NO LAG at all..
[EVO 4G Android Development] flying_low:
Anyone else getting a force close when hitting the gallery button in the stock evo camera? This roughly coincided with the upgrade to 3.2 but im not 100% sure on that. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aversusb:
for those of us with the 100% awake issue right now, I was curious what the .smithmicro. was in spare parts. Did some researching and SmithMicro made the VVM app for Sprint. So I removed the visual voicemail app in Fresh kitchen. Rebooted and no awake issue for now. Will report later....

But my thought, and backed up by Spare Parts, was that something was keeping the dialer from sleeping. Hoping it is voicemail
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
ive been meaning to delete the sprint vmail app, and just use google voice for that reason.. since its always running in the background.. but Advanced Task Manager is killing all my apps every 30 min, and it makes a difference with performance
[EVO 4G Android Development] sqweez:
here you go...kings kernel...love it..battery life is insane and no lag

[EVO 4G Android Development] gotanykush:
For u people with 100% running I also had the same problem and it use to drive me insane as well, I would re flash my Rom and keep checking every 10 min if I would have 100 running. After a few hours it would always happen. Figured out it was my gmail. I wiped data or cache through applications and everything worked fine. Try this and let me know if it fixes your problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yutlin:
I take it you mean via Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications.

I'll give this a shot the next time I hit 100% CPU usage (just restored Nandroid so it is bound to happen again in a day or so).

I also found a whole thread about a very similar problem with the Hero here: http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198716
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
I was having serious battery drain with this ROM (even after re-wiping cache + dalvik). I then installed the app Auto Task Manager (not Advanced Task Manager); I also uninstalled SetCPU. Thus far, no more battery drain, even at screen off. Previously, I'd have like 5 - 10% battery drain even at screen off.

Attached are screen shots of usage rate; 23+ hours uptime, 16hrs unplugged.. battery is at 36%
[EVO 4G Android Development] Alanmw86:
no 3D gallery or am i missing it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] muncheroo:
just got 48 hours with minimal use. A+++ would do business again. Very curious what HTC did with the new kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Yup. Not only from camera but from the gallery app as well. 3D gallery works.

[EVO 4G Android Development] forceOnature:
I solved my 100% awake problem by turning off my Exchange sync and then turning it back on again. My phone has been able to sleep ever since doing that 48 hours ago.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yutlin:
No Exchange sync here so must be a different issue.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jones79:
When I first installed this ROM I was getting less than 24 hours of normal use on a single charge..

Made the following modifications:

Turned off GPS and Network location (not that hard to toggle it on when you actually need to use it)

Installed SetCPU and left the default scaling but added 1 profile

Screen Off - 100% Priority - 245 Min and 245 Max On Demand scaling.

18 hours since changes applied and pulled off the charger and I am at 53% battery with normal usage. (Maybe a little above normal usage, my daughter has been playing games on it through out the day)

Screen Shot Attached.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tracerit:
ok so i'm finalizing my new ROM, i'm going to stay with Fresh but I just have a few questions:

1. I installed the netarchy-toastmod kernel to get the uncapped FPS (version Revision 4.1.8-cfs edition - Fresh3 Compatible). This is the best kernel to use with Fresh that won't cause any conflicts?

2. If the battery life isn't good with that kernel, how do I flash back to the stock kernel included with Fresh 3.2.0.0?

3. If a new version of Fresh comes out in the future, do I just use Fresh Updater and update? Will this wipe my data?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Darian89:
I just have 1 question as well, is there a way to get wired tether to work on this stock OTA? I have wireless tether and it works perfect but I want wired tether to work as well. So will I have to flash netarchy's new kernel or kings kernel....if so which 1 works?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrod7:
Same here is there anyway with this rom to get sprint hotspot and USB tethering working? I get a 67 error message. Im mainly going to use USB tethering. Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Great battery life there no matter what, but that screenie shows that you barely used the phone...

Still great life tho, just hope it holds up well with usage once it's released and modified

Where can I delete and install sprint wireless hotspot.... pls need that asap... on other rims I used to delete it then install it an it works after that... now I can't find it so I can delete it. Where is the sprint hotspot files, so I can delete it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Albymn:
What up with the set CPU?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jones79:
I guess "normal use" is relative to the user :)

Battery life is about twice what it was before making the changes however.

I'll put it through some "above normal" usage and see how it does.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aniv:
I am not able to duplicate your experience. Gallery works fine here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] murdercitydan:
Everything works great, though I'm waiting to see this awesome battery life that lasts over a day. I get about 10 to 13 hours with pretty low usage still.

[EVO 4G Android Development] leeh41:
Was running fine with no problems until now. Having problems trying to update some apps. Getting unsigned error from market. Is it Rom related? Anyone successfully update to the new launcher pro?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nacomoon:
It's removed by default. To reinstall look on your sdcard for a folder called fresh-removed-apks or something similar to that
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Did you install a theme? If so try re- flashing the Rom and running it without. Fixed it for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tracerit:

You could use PdaNet from the market.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Psywar28:
You should not need it if you are running Fresh 3.x

There is an application in your app box called Wireless Tether.

Open that up and set it up. Its the same thing as Sprint Wireless Hotspot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Exchange works fine.

Questions -

Did you wipe before putting this ROM on?

Are you sure you didn't use Titanium (or any other backup restore) to restore settings?

Are you using everything provided - as is - from Flipz? i.e. you're not using a different kernel and you haven't installed any programs that may be interfering (whether you think it should or not) with the mail app.

If the answer to all these is yes, then it's possible you have an issue with your Exchange server or your local or corporate network.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
Does this ROM support wired tether, and would I need to install a program to get wired tethering?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
Probably best bet for wired tether is PDANet from the market...free except to secure sites...have to buy if you need for that too.

Why is my roaming not working ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyeballer:
Flashed the vanilla lock and clock (which I like), however it doesn't play with the alarm clock app. Anyone figured out a way to dismiss the alarm clock when using this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Veritas06:
Works fine with the Vanilla clock. You have to use that instead of the Deskclock

anyuone else getting really bad battery life? Mine's lasting less than 4 hours and I have everything turned off including GPS.

Off charger, checking email, playing MiniZoo, mild surfing, and I drop to 50% within 3 hours, am at 25% witiin 4 hours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyeballer:
Thanks for the reply, maybe I missed something. Under tweaks I flashed "Vanilla Lock and Vanilla Clock" - which gives me the lock screen with the clock. In my app drawer I still only have the default Clock app and Deskclock app, just as with stock rom, this is the normal alarm clock. Should I have flashed the world clock or Vanilla apps clock?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sf103100:
battery is very good on this rom problem is whem i have on automatic and when phone does switch to roaming and when i make a call i get message from verizon(i am roaming of verizon)

any one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I'm getting superb battery life. The minimum of 14 hrs on medium/heavy usage. I would suggest wiping and re-flashing the ROM imo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JOEOZUNA4U:
you need to uninstall HTC’s world clock...(if using an alarm app)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Testrunner:
I had amazing battery life but now it is horrible. I am not sure what I did. I am running "system panel" app and can't trace where the battery drain is coming from.

My battery has dropped 20% in the last half hour.:mad:

I did install Riptide's theme around the same time by battery started going down hill. I wonder if the theme has anything to do with the drain.
[EVO 4G Android Development] basso4735:
One thing I noticed is that after flashing this rom, the first boot, 3g would not turn on after wifi was shut off even though it was set to. I had to use a widget to get the 3g to "kick in".
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
I'm running Rip theme without problems but believe I read that others have had sudden battery issues after a theme...? Hopefully you can nand restore to pre theme and try it or at worst reflash the ROM to test theme impact. Good luck.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Jetdr:
This is not a problem with the Rom. Call Sprint and ask for tech support. They need to provision you're phone. I had the same problem and they reassigned me a new MSID number.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bielinsk:
I seem to be hit and miss with battery life. I got this just this past weekend and could not be happier. This is with some texting, some talking, some navigation, Facebook and surfing, a few pictures and some photos.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
I don't tiink deleting peep will solve the issue, LauncherPro (latest version) is the one asking for login credentials, not peep. I think they added the new widget auto-login feature to the latest version of LauncherPro.

If you're trying to diagnose high battery burn rate and you use Chat Apps, you may want to take a look at this:

Chat Apps / Battery Life
[EVO 4G Android Development] T Mac:
I noticed this morning that my awake time was almost as high as my up time. I checked spare parts and it was handcent sms. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it seemed to fix the problem. Just to be safe though I uninstalled it and started using the stock sms for now though. I'm now at almost 14 hours of uptime and i'm at 9% battery left. Not good since I've had little to no use. Hopefully I fixed the problem and I'm going to recharge after it's dead and try again. I was using kings bfs#6 and just currently flashed the stock 3.2 kernel and wiped stats.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JOEOZUNA4U:
well that sucks then.... i have always used adw launcher
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
I'm NOT using chat applications, not sure if that means twitter is what you're referring to or not, but the battery off charger so far has been abysmal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
I just went into running services and HandCent was running, I stopped it, figured I'd use it when I wanted rathre htan having it run in the background. Let's see if that helps.

[EVO 4G Android Development] bparvin:
I tried searching but couldn't find an answer. I also didn't see this reported as bug on Fresh's bug report list.

I get the My location icon with a slash through it on the top bar. How do I get rid of it? I just switched to Fresh from CM. I did a data and cache wipe before and after installed 3.2

I have all the My location services turned on and it seems to be working (Google Maps finds my location without GPS on). I still get that annoying icon though. It isn't a deal breaker, but I'd love to get rid of it if possible

(Sorry if this was answered already, but I did try searching and checking the bug report on Fresh's site with no luck.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mr Ian B:
Incredible battery life with this update. I am at 20% left and over a day on battery life. Thanks, Flipz!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bielinsk:
I find the most helpful is the actual battery screen where it shows usage. Sure our phones can be turned on in airplane mode for 48 hours easy, but if you aren't using it, it doesn't mean anything.

I was able to get 29 hours uptime with 7.5 hours of usage before it powered down. I am very happy with that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
did you do a full wipe .. dalvik data cache .. twice wipe on each one ..

have you tried running a different theme
[EVO 4G Android Development] bparvin:
I ended up using ClockWork to do this ROM update. I did the data wipe and cache wipe. Installed Fresh and repeated the data wipe and cache wipe.

As far as themes, I am using launcher pro so I am not using a Sense theme.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
It's definitely handsent (sp?). i disabled it from running in the background and battery is MUCH better. Although, I'm aslo using Battery Booster.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JOEOZUNA4U:
all sense roms have it, if you turn your gps on the slash goes away buy you still have the location icon it never goes away... CM is an AOSP rom it has nothing to do with htc thats why it doesnt have it....
[EVO 4G Android Development] ProfessorBean:
a lot of people are not happy with there battery life i noticed, my battery was going a lot quicker then i wanted, i had just upgraded from an old htc touch, first gen with a custom windows mobile CE on it, the battery life on that was fenominal, i had it set up to 30 hours of on time with an avarage heavy use time of atleast 6 hours a day before needing a charge.. that little phone was a champ.. well the HTC EVO's battery is sadly lacking, however i found a thread stating a way to calibrate your battery.(apparently it has to do with how the L-ion charges each individual cell) i book marked it on another computer, i'll edit this post to reflect that thread. however i gained about 30% on my battery, after 5 hours of standby with wireless, 3g and gps working i had 75% battery left, before i would be around 40% after 5 hours

I just tried installing this ROM. I did a full wipe/dalvic/cache. Installed .ZIP and it just sits on the HTC EVO 4G boot screen. What am I doing wrong?

I tried another ROM earlier in the day and it did the same thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
you may not be fully rooted and nand unlocked. I'd say that if you've tried 2 ROM's and they both don't work....... common denominator is your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ncadden:
I've had impressive battery life since using this ROM. And I love the speed. I don't have much to base this one b/c I just switched to the EVO last Friday but I knew I liked Fresh's ROM w/my Hero & so I wanted to try it first. I haven't been disappointed in the least. I will say this though, as I had problems after installing this ROM the 1st time. By the time I did it the 2nd time, I also had ROM Manager running w/Anon's Recovery ready to go. I ran it, then wiped everything clean, before reflashing this ROM. Then I went through & ran each of the updates, one by one, instead of just the final one, b/c I had read some people having little problems here & there & having to go back & run another one anyway. I had Anon's RA running so I was able to use the updater.

Haven't had a problem since. My battery was still at 30%+ yesterday evening when I put it back on the charger, after being off the charger since 8 in the AM. I wouldn't have gotten a day & a half out of it but I do have a lot of things constantly syncing, along w/a charger next to the bed, so I really don't care if I get 1.5 days. Maybe back in college when I was hardly asleep, the cellphone batteries that lasted 3 days were great. But today, as long as it gets me through the days w/out being in the red, I'm good to go.

Can anybody help me figure out how to install the FM Radio app? I went into my uninstalled apps folder & hit install on it, but I got a message that said it wasn't installed. I tried a few of the others & they went right on, but when I went back to the FM radio one I got nothing. Any ideas?

Thanks Flippz. Awesome job.
