Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 had the best battery life, i guess this new kernel isnt as great.... i went back to netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1-cfs and the battery is a lot better.. (im too lazy to go back to 3.2.0)
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
I know that battery life is really dependent on how much you use the phone and what you use it for calls, games, internet etc. But with the Netarchy kernel 4.1.9.1-cfs whats the battery life like, how long does does the battery last for? And are you using setcpu and if so, what's your settings?
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
so far running KingKlick CFS#9 kernel, no setcpu or overclocking app and this rom is running smooth like butter.... havent tested battery life yet since its gonna take a few days to get true results with charging and battery almost dying... Performance is great, no lag, good quadrant scores so far

FYI anytime you just flash a rom or kernel the first few hours or days the battery life will be horrible.. give it a day or two or a few charge cycles before complaining about battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Just for the record, I'm not complaining about the battery life. All I'm saying is that at the time i made my earlier post, I was going on 7 1/2 of battery usage with 23% remaining on minimum usage. Now as long as the battery makes it through my workday of 8 hours, I'm good .. which I know it would. But if someone posts that their getting better battery results then I want to know what they did to get them...whether its flashing another kernel or getting some app off the market. It's all about helping one another. And if you flashed a rom and someone was getting better battery usage, i'm sure you would want to know what they did too.

We posted what how many hours etcc what we were getting with the stock kernel and another person posted what they were getting better battery life with a custom kernel. So please tell me how's that complaining?

So please don't say we're "complaining" when we're not!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmarcus:
3.2 ftw. 5pm and 80% battery life left. Been up since 6:30. Minimal use, though. A bit of web browsing, email, a few phone calls, Only on 4g for a few minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
wasnt directing that post to you... just speaking in general.. trust me I'm trying to figure out how people are saying that they are getting over 24 hours before charging ( even though i know it has to be off of hardly no use at all, im talkin 1 phone call and a text message status )... best battery time ive had on my evo is about 16hrs i think..

best thing to do is change all background data off if possible, check weather manually, check email manually, and twitter, etc ... facebook is a battery killer also, and the htc peep after the latest OTA update is constantly running.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
I think all of the custom roms built off of the 3.28 release have superior battery life
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Oh ok that's cool...lol. Yeah if people is getting like 20hrs of battery life they must not be using the phone minimum to none at all. I am going to flash some kernels and see how the results are.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DarkManX4lf:
Anyone notice that *2 doesnt work? Every time I try to call customer service through *2, it will just crash the phone app. I havent tried the other * numbers....

Also I do have manup revolution theme installed....not sure if that is the culprit....
[EVO 4G Android Development] five40:
Yes I agree.

They are fibbers, trying to get us to stop enjoying our evo's
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpmaniac87:
Haha, but they have screenshots- but I agree, the usage percentages are usually very minimal things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DualSportDad:
I was getting about 14-15 hrs a day when the phone was stock. t still seems to be the same with this Rom. ill give it a few more days and see what happens and if t doesn't help ill try flashing another kernel.

I mainly want better battery life so I can use navigation apps more when I go to the woods wig mg jeep or my bike. I also like to surf the web while on my lunch break at work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sterlinron:
So I finally got my HDMI cable for this thing, and it doesn't seem to be working. I looked in settings and don't see anywhere to activate it. Am I missing something, or does it not work on this ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalmenance:
I am a moderate to heavy user and when I get a day's worth out of battery I am fully happy with that, which I am getting with this rom right now just fine.

I do use advanced task killer pro to just shut things down from time to time

also I have setcpu running reg with one profile set for screen off-cpu down to 245mhz and get no lag when turning on, works great for me and saves a ton of battery from what ive seen.

Anyway, great rom and with the Riptide9's glass theme on top of it, It is super great looking right now!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dipster:
Yea, nothing workin, i guess i have to wipe everything and try from begining. I guess I've depending on nand back ups too much.

Oh and just to chime in on the battery, with 3.3 and the stock kernal with moderate usage, as in 2 hours of voice calls and some good amount of facebooking/web browsing/ about 1 hour of mp3 playback im at 41% and 10 hours 30 mins since unplugged.

Pretty damn awesome Flip! You really do rock!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Team Scream:
Ok so I did my first update via fresh updater!

Was a total success as far as I can tell.

The only (2) issues I had was when I rebooted after updating from 3.2 to 3.3, none of my screens were populated with widgets or apps or shortcuts.

I was a bit freaked at first, but I just rebooted again and everything showed up.

Then, once I rebooted for the 2nd time, all of the icons were duplicated (one on top of the other), so I had to touch/hold and remove the duplicates.

Everything else worked out perfectly as far as I can tell.

all of the apps I deem critical are functioning, and I did NOT wipe anything prior to updating.

Here are a couple of questions.

my PRI version indicates 1.34_003

my PRL version indicates 60670

my Kernel version indicates 2.6.32. 15-ge2fb08e / htc-kernel@and18-2 #11

are my PRI and PRL the correct versions?

Also forgive the newbness, but what exactly is PRI and PRL ?

Thanks for any guidance, I would really appreciate it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rounders93:
2nd day with this setup, heavier use and 16+ hours of battery life...pretty good imo. Here's what i'm running. Lemme know if you have any questions.

Fresh 3.3.0.1

htc kernel that comes with it

setpcu, 998 max 245 min, disable perflock, no profiles

umm everything else is default i think...if urs is setup like this battery should be amazing and you shouldn't have a problem lasting 15 hrs w/ medium use 20+hrs w/ light use and 8-10hrs heavy use
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotsthemagicinme:
flashed this in hope for better battery life

couldnt believe the first boot time/general speed

also, smooth mods works great over this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lath19:
I've been running this same set up for a week and battery life has been very solid. Unplug at 7a and by 5p I'm usually at 50% with moderate usage. With the stock kernel on this rom I was down to 20% or so. I also reset the battery stats after flashing kings 9.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lath19:
Search the thread. This is a really easy fix.

Hint: you need to install an app from the "fresh removed apks" folder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Queef Gurl:
Hey Ya'll, just flashed Fresh on my Evo a few days ago with the stock rom and am enjoying it so far. Few if any crashing issues and the battery life is decent.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aj74:
I did try restoring a nand backup from a week ago...didn't help.

It seems the keys aren't backed up?

I used my insurance , the replacement phone should be here in couple of hours.

I will come back to the forums for advice when it does.

I really would like to avoid looking my let's again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mountainbyker:
Thanks! & 2 questions

First of all, this is the first ROM other than a stock one I've installed. Your instructions were perfect and it installed flawlessly so thanks for all the hard work!

I've seen many posts about improved battery life but so far, after a few days of running the ROM my battery life seems to be the same as before. I'm running Juice Defender and Advanced Task killer. Are those still needed with this ROM?

Regarding themes, I can't seem to find any other than the vanilla lock. Are there others somewhere?

Thanks!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tboneheath:
Love this rom it is awesome good barry life thus far love the smooth movements of everything just saying thanx
[EVO 4G Android Development] heyman123:
As of Froyo 2.2, task killers are not needed. reference here.

and I also use Watchdog to monitor and alert me of any malicious/rogue apps that are eating up my resources and then from there, I can utilize the built in task management from Android to kill it, if necessary.

2 awesome app I use to improve battery performance:

- SystemPanel - paid version

- Tasker - paid version <--- ESPECALLY THIS ONE!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] djdisturbed:
Its just as easy to tell them to install the sprint app from the removed folders as it it to tell them its an app in there b/c maybe other people would like to know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
I posted this over on King's Kernel thread, but in case anyone on here using Fresh might have the same problems, and perhaps an answer?

What is a good way to tell which one, BFS or CFS, is the better one for your EVO? Reason I ask, I had a strange problem happen three times now where my phone went crazy and overheated. As it is still working, I guess it is still ok, but don't want it to happen again.

I am using Fresh 3.3.01 Rom. As I have been switching between kernels on and off so much, King's BFS/CFS 9&10 and Netarchy Fresh BFS/CFS 4.1.9, and the overheating problem did not happen on a continuous repeatable basis (caught me off guard), I cannot say at this moment which may have been the culprit. I will be more alert now to which kernel I am using from this point on though!

What happens is this: I use Gentle Alarm for waking up. It is the closest good Android alarm clock to G-Alarm on my old WinMo HD2. I am very poor at waking up in the morning, so need a good alarm clock. Three times now, after hitting snooze a couple of times, the alarm suddenly locks up and keeps playing, thus causing the phone to overheat. As I said, I have problems waking up, so takes awhile for me to finally fully wake up and hear the alarm when it has locked up. I have to turn the phone off, or pull the battery to shut it down.

So could the kernels be having compatibility problems with Gentle Alarm? Or the code for BFS vs CFS have something to do with this? Of course I will also check with the GA dev as well, could be his latest updates, but wanted to ask on here as well if others had this problem.

Also, I do use SetCPU. I have it setup as 115200/245 performance for normal and charging/full, screen off (100% priority) at 245/245 conservative/powersave, and temp >45 at (90% priority) at 480/245 conservative/powersave. But I imagine this wouldn't have helped much as an app at fault was running and causing the system to heat up.

Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mountainbyker:
Thanks very much for the links. The article was great, I had no idea android worked like that. Tasker looks sweet! I uninstalled the task killer and I'm curious how battery life will be with that app gone. Plan to check out tasker tomorrow.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
gonna try using my phone without a task killer for a few days to see if that improves battery life.. i got 12hrs today with almost no usage today.. using kingklick #9CFS kernel .. this kernel is running good with no FC's and no lag..
[EVO 4G Android Development] metickulous:
Hey guys, I'm truly, truly sorry if this has been asked or gone over before but there are a lot of threads for me to go over. Does your MIUI rom show the Sprint tab in the Android market? Myself and other devs are working on the Droid port and trying to get the market to function properly. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Just releized this is not the MIUI rom port thread. Sorry! If you read this and know the answer please let me know. Thank you!

Hey Guys,

I've been running this rom (3.3) since it came out and haven't had any problems. Friday I drove to Chicago and was using google nav and I noticed that with the screen ON, my phone would randomly reboot after about 30 minutes. It did this the entire trip on a charged battery that was plugged in (and unplugged)

If I turned the screen OFF, no reboots, Nav worked fine (voice only obviously). Or I kept the screen off and turned it on only for a few minutes at a time, no reboots.

Any ideas on what could be going on?

(And yes, I installed the rom after a 2x wipe of everything)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
Two kernel

Is there a way to see what is the difference between two htc kernels which fresh is using in 3.3 and 3.2.

I am running 3.3, and I can keep phone overnight and it looses about 13% drain in the battery, but previous to 3.3 was extremely efficient in which i keep it overnight or go standby, and it uses very minimal battery.

I wonder if htc is going to release yet another kernel fix which really puts phone to sleep if people follow battery extending schema such as no background data, no animations, Bluetooth off, screen brightness to the lowest settings and stuff like.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RavenII:
I didn't want to post about how terrible battery life is because I'm sure someone will flame on, but go screw yourself in advance.

So ever since I updated to 3.3 battery drains insanely throughout the day. I'm talking about having 33% after 6 hours of being on stand by. I don't get it. I've tried different kernels and still, what can I do to help figure out what is causing this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sterlinron:

Not Going well

Ok, I am coming from a rooted stock 2.2 rom.

I wiped, system, cache and the other one.

installed the fresh rom.

it continually rebooted.

I installed the radio update,

it was working for about an hour.

I decided to install the vanilla.

it booted into recover and will not boot again.

I wiped everything again.

Install the Fresh rom.

it boots to the Fresh Evo screen for about 3 seconds and reboots.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] RavenII:
I'm not rude, see, that wasn't directed towards you, and I genuinely appreciate the suggestion...I'll give it a try. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
Tracerit,

Excellent suggestions. I had Y5 app running which monitors Antennas and turn on/off my wifi based on if I am close to my home/work/dad's wifi nearby, and this app appears to keep my wifi on all the time even my phone is fast a sleep.

I have disabled the app to see if it actually improves my battery life while it sleeps.

I am really thankful for all the wonderful people on this forum who has made my experience of owning EVO and Moment worth it.

I am so thankful for people who takes time to release their own ROM and spends hours, so we have awsome ROM and fixes compare to what Sprint puts out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mario23:
The battery question has been discussed at length and with various solutions over last week. Read back a few pages and you'll find all your answers.

Don't flame me...
[EVO 4G Android Development] lordbater:
Ok, Update.

The phone was rebooting itself several times before trying to install fresh.

I left the battery out for a few minutes and tried it again, it booted up normally.

I made one phone call and it rebooted.

Now, it won't do anything.

as in nothing on the screen at all. I tried multiple batteries. When I plug it into my computer it says it is installing drivers for my qualcom device..

I'm guessing this is what they mean by bricked?

my question is if I take it to the sprint store, are they going to know what I've been up to, or would they possibly think that the OTA update bricked my phone like so many others?

Thanks

Andrew
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Pertaining to other kernels on Fresh 3.3.01, what is the consensus for speed, reliability, and battery life?

King BFS 9 or 10

King CFS 9 or 10

Netarchy BFS 4.1.8 or 4.1.9

Netarchy CFS 4.1.8 or 4.1.9

They all seem pretty good. But I do notice that King's files are usually larger (CFS #10 is over 6 megs), and has a ton of different governors to select under SetCPU, where Netarchy only has the typical 3.

Any thoughts folks?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shyfe:
anyone notice that when you hold an app icon down on a home screen to remove it, the black remove bar that comes up on the bottom is not rounded, but when you hover your app icon over it such that it becomes red, then it turns rounded. seems like a bug to me.

[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
I have been keeping with this thread, and can't seems to understand why 3.2 kernal was so efficient at the battery then 3.3.

For my usage, it makes sense for my wifi to goto sleep after 15 minutes of ideal time since I don't have any background data turned on, and most of my activities on my phone is I want to initiate, and not the phone to initiate for me.

I do everything manually such email and calendar refresh, so I want my phone to go practically dead when it goes dark and overnight to conserve battery. Only thing it should do is to have connection to tower for the incoming phone call.

If you have already installed the newest radios and wimax all you have to do is install newest fresh

Flash the latest wimax fully reboot
