I understand that, I posted that because I hadn't seen anyone mentioning that their phone wouldn't boot at all past the splash screen with non-3.70 roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
ok i just compared his phone and mine again. here's what we have:

my phone: 15:36 hours since unplugged and it's at 24%

his phone: 13:00 hours since unplugged at around 80%

The usage break down - the only difference i see is i used the maps which it says used 67% of the battery, even though it only used 5s worth of cpu time and sent/received less then 10kb of data.

none of it really makes any sense as to why his phone is getting so much better battery life then mine. he's getting something like 4x the battery life i am.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
I haven't been able to switch back to HTC kernel #17 since flashing the latest radio, wimax, and nv. Didn't flash the new PRI or anything, but anytime I try to go back to #17, it sticks on the white screen. Boots up just fine with netarchy 4.2.1. Very strange.... and this is on Evio 1.6.2

Thought it may have been the kernel file, but even when I flash the original ROM file with #17 included, it does the same thing
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Ok I'm gonna let u know something after 13 hours and he's down 80% that's becasue he's not really using his phone. When i was using #17 kernel the longest time not charging was 3 days, and now I'm using ziggys 12/4 kernel witch i get about 24 hours. Its a big drop in the batery life but i get no lag in my 3d games. Ok now getting great battery life as i said before is how u use ur phone and depends witch kernel ur using. Kings kernels Making phone calls, texting, and getting on the net and other apps i use cuz of my kids. Battery last for days. I don't use GPS apps unless I'm driven to some were i don't know how to get there, i don't use 4g unless I'm in Houston i live south of Houston and there is no 4g, i don't use auto sync if i want fB to update i will just click on it to to update, on setcpu my profile start from 100% battery and go down. From 100% i Max the processor and the speed goes down as that battery goes down to save battery. Don't get me wrong even with kings kernels the fastest i ran down the battery from 100% was 3 and half hours to 0%. But that's with really heavy use.

I like not haven to charge my phone but I've tested the kernels with battery life so i got a hang with what they can handle. My advice is from what I've done and trying to help if it don't help sorry.

I have posted screenshot of everything I'm talking about if u want to check them out go to

Hi Calk,

Happy Holidays to you and your and congrats on the newborn.

Confirmation number: 3S925449WV031162P

Cheers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
whatever it is, i think it was something I installed. I did a complete wipe last night, let the phone fully charge and then unplugged it. After 8:30 hours the battery is down to 83% and thats after i used the phone a few minutes to update some of the default apps.

So now i just have to figure out what it is that i've installed that was sucking down the battery. Is there any app i can use to easily post a list of everything i've got installed? Just thought i'd share what i have in case in helps someone else also getting poor battery life.

And is there a better way to figure out what's causing the drain other then reinstalling things one by one and waiting to see if the battery goes down? it'll take me days or weeks to do that unless i get lucky and happen to install whatever's draining the battery towards the beginning.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tattoocat:
I so can't wait till Calkulin updates and makes a new rom with Gingerbread. I love his ROM!

Good luck with the newborn and we understand the delay.

[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
dj - you're right, he wasn't using the phone much. But neither was I. That's my complaint. Even when i barely use the phone at all my battery is dead before a full day is over. But check out my reply just before this. I seem to be getting battery life closer to what he's getting now after i did a full wipe. So i think whatever's going on is something i had installed. now i just have to figure out what.

9:07 hours and battery is at 82% (wifi,4g, bt all off)

[EVO 4G Android Development] jpinedac77:
wrong post
[EVO 4G Android Development] boliviano3:
You should take a snapshot of the actual battery usage breakdown to get a better idea what of what's using the battery. That photo just tells us how long the phone's been on since the last reboot but not since the last charge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
If u read what it says on the screen shot they show not charging sense that from when I un plug the charger not from last boot. There is one screen shot of what ur talking about look at the other screen shots and I'll have ur answer.

sent from the moon on my EVO 4g
[EVO 4G Android Development] boliviano3:
I'm not sure if I understood you correctly but if you're talking about in the screenshot where it says "Not Charging," that's just the status of the battery it doesn't mean not charging since. If that was the case I'd still be @ 76% after almost 40 hrs since my last charge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Lol, that's too much dedication man but thanks! You are the man Calk! Looking forward to the new release as always.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
You will be waiting a while for that one! Lol....I'm gonna say probably 5-6 months. Unless HTC magically releases the official update quicker than that. Froyo took them about 3 months to port over and that was fast for them. It's not just a quick copy and paste, especially when Sense UI is involved....

Yeah that will be awhile out less HTC surprises everyone in the universe and rolls out 2.3 in next few days, b/c after they roll it out its another month at the least before they release the source to it.

hopefully it will come with the new sense, one would expect it to at least.

[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
Calkulin, so sorry I am late bro. I've been super busy and out of the loop for a few days, and you go and have your daughter early!! :D Congratulations man, I wish you and your family the best. I hope that I and other XDA members and give you a little bit of extra joy during your already amazing experiences.

TO those who said you would donate, please do if you havent already. I know that Mac_Evo already has, and some of you others may have already also. Sorry that I was not on top of this as I should have been.

To those who were not a part of the early "Calkulin Baby Donation Fund" but want to help him buy a present for his new daughter from his friends at XDA, please feel free to donate something now. Even $1 helps if thats all you can give.

Everyone, please select "Gift" in paypal so that they dont take any of his money from him :D. OK, guess thats all I need to say. Everyone, lets give Calk some money to buy his little girl something from his XDA friends :D Thanks again to all who donate, I know that Calkulin will really appreciate it!!! God Bless and Merry Christmas to all!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rkd2398:
Calk congrats on the baby! I hope you and your family have a great Holiday!

Still a n00b and I have a question. I am still on Calk's 1.6.1 and was looking at the kernal on my phone. It says that I have 2.632.24-king-havs-OcUv. I thought that 1.6.1 had the HTC #17. I wanted to make sure the bugs were worked out in 1.6.2 before I flashed to it. So my question is will switching to the HTC #17 Kernal be better for my battery life, or should I switch to 1.6.2?

Thanks again!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] VisedMonk:
He probably isn't using his phone much. Have you tried a different kernel? Sometimes that can make a big difference, because some are set for performance and some are set for better battery life.

I flash Calk's v1.6.2 w/ Ziggy's kernel and I get a full day - about 17 hrs - of light-to-moderate usage out of my phone.

So I went ahead and flashed 6.2. Why does set cpu only say my cpu is 998?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] boliviano3:
1.6.2 comes w/ the stock kernel which can't be oc'd, just change the kernel if you want to oc
[EVO 4G Android Development] rkd2398:
Gotcha, so 1.6.1 had kings kernal, that's why it could be oc'd. Thanks for that info.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
So it's been 19:40 hours now and my battery is at 64% - this is the longest my battery has ever lasted. Normally by now my battery would be at 20% or lower.

All i have done is a full wipe and i did NOT reinstall any of my apps, other then just updating the apps that come with calks rom.

So it seems like one of my installed apps was draining the battery. So i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how to find out which app, other then reinstalling them 1 at a time and watching the battery after i install each one. Installing them one by one and watching the battery can possibly be pretty time consuming. So i was hoping someone might have a better method. using system panel or the default android battery usage hasn't been helpful so far.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Spare parts should help out and install the apps one by one and monitoring with system panel
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
What would i use in spare parts? Also, i had system panel installed previously and i wasn't able to tell from that what app was making excessive use. Nothing really showed up as using a lot of cpu time. I'm willing to reinstall it and try again. Just want to make sure i'm using it correctly. Maybe i was mis-reading something before.

btw, this battery usage is without setcpu installed. I haven't installed that yet.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
because spare parts allows you to see partial wake lock which would speak to battery drain. Plus system panel also allows you to track cpu utilization which also would speak to battery drain just my two cents
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfbo:
So after reading good stuff about this ROM I decided to give a try, I wiped the data, cache, Dalvik, then flashed this ROM............ on boot up it'd just freeze up.

Any ideas?

I just flashed updated radio combo pack yesterday could it be related to that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Could be if you are on stock kernel. Make sure you wipe factory wipe twice and try again and just flash the rom only then reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfbo:
Should I change the Kernel first then? Not sure if I'm misunderstanding you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Nope, you can just do a factor reset and flash the rom. Whatever the factory kernel will be included
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfbo:
No changes, stuck on first boot up screen, never moves onto boot animation. Thnx anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mediocrates:
Flash netarchy's cfs nohavs and you will be golden
[EVO 4G Android Development] frozndevl:
I saw something on one of my feeds that sprint is pushing out slightly different updates for the different hardware versions. Will 1.7 take this into account it will it just bee a one size fits all?
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
How do i view/use 'partial wake lock'? Also with system panel i never saw anything that was using a lot of cpu. If you look at some of my past posts you'll see almost everything was listed as using 0.1% of the cpu. I never saw anything in system panel that showed up as a big drain on the cpu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
I have my twin nephew's birthday to go to this morning, so I'll post v1.7 based on 3.70 a little early and do the change log this afternoon when I come back.

[EVO 4G Android Development] meatgel:
That's pretty vague. You should elaborate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doncabezon:
Thats BS. I have a 0002 and run this rom with no problems. Kernels!! Thats what makes a difference in any rom. I use Netarchy 4.1.9 stable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gokuman56:
Can you put the kernel .zip here, I went to netarchys kernels and there are a lot to choose from. The first one I chose ruined my wi-fi and no matter what I flashed, the wifi got stuck at obtaining ip address. This ROM wont get past the EVO 4G Bootscreen
[EVO 4G Android Development] 2k4mach:
running just fine on my 003 hardware
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
First boot is LONG always the case with any rom. let it sit and should come up fine after awhile. If it doesn't you need to make sure you wipe davlik and cache, if you did that then try full data wipe then flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
Thank you! Up and running with no problems. 0002 Hardware. Coming from a different ROM (stuck there because of radio update) = full wipe prior to install.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
you don't have to convince the masses that Calk's ROM's are tight, we already know!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
well there have been several people complaining about battery life, myself included. This the first time i've ever had the phone go over a day. So at least in my case it seems like whatever was causing the battery to go dead was some app i installed. Just posting this to document what's happening, in case it can help someone else improve their battery life. if/when i figure out which app was causing the drain, i'll post that. I was hope i'd find a better method for finding that app other then installing them one at a time and watching the battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
,more than likely it is an app, so if you find out what it is, please post back again so we can 86 that bad boy. This rom is tight if you were to flash it and not install any apps, you wouldn't see any battery drain, but who does that? appreciate you updating us on your experience and glad you were able to troubleshoot and get this bad boy back to working for you

I have donated this morning. I have used 1.6.2 for a couple of weeks and my battery life has been great. I will update to 1.7 in a couple of day. I haven't had a chance to play with the wifi and hotspot tether yet. Do I need to do anything special? As a Noob probably a dumb question being this is my first Smart phone and only had it for a couple of months. THank you very much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smiznith:

[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
coming form 1.6.2 with radios and pri from the last OTA wipe cache and davlik, on first boot it sat at the animation screen for awhile then rebooted itself.

hopefully this time it works and finishes the boot. If not I'll have to full wipe.

Edit:

Well it came fully up the 2nd time but didnt load but 1/10th of my apps and then rebooted on its own again and hung at the white evo screen.

gonna restore and try again

Even after unistalling OTAswype from TiBackup and reinstalling the Beta I get FC's every time. I searched and only thing I saw was people just using the OTA swype and sticking with that. I would like to stay with the Beta version personally but can't get it to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
did you try and use Calk's format all script and then try installing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Ugh u lost me there. That would completely wipe the phone, then when I install 1.7 the stock swype would be installed, still leaving me little lsot at this poitn how to get back on the beta since uninstalling it via TiBackup and deleting the apk fromt he system folder via root explorer didn't do the trick since FC's still happen on the Beta when i install that.

Had to Delete the file libswypecore.so in /system/lib too get it to work. Back in business with Beta Swype that has the mic button.

I actually didn't even check to see if the stock OTA swype had the mic on it or not....oops might be moving a file around again. ha
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
nice! i was going to say something like that since you have to push that as well as the APK. i heard the OTA has the mic, but haven't confirmed in person
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Well once I find out the differences between the OTA and Beta I might just stick with the OTA to be easier with all the Rom's from now on out.
