Anyone have any idea as to why my USB tether only works on 3g and not on 4g?

My problem is, ill be connected to 4g but as soon as I enable USB tether it kicks me off to 3g. I've searched the forms and can only find information on an error 67(which is not my problem)

Ty!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Marlowr05:
I know that on most roms it will do that. But I never had that issue on freshs time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Saturn2K:
It's because this hack that enables the Sprint tethering doesn't work for 4G. To tether 4G, you'll need to use a third party tethering app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dag16:
Nope, I didn't set for overclocking, I don't see the point for my phone use. I actually only used setcpu for dropping max clock speed

Help!!!! Massive Battery Consumption

I've been using Fresh ROM's since July and LOVE them!

I have been experiencing massive battery usage since 3.4.0.1

I am using the Fresh ROM, Manup's REVOlution theme and Fresh's clock and ASOP lock zip.

I'm getting too much Android system usage compared to every other ROM Flash.

I'm only getting like 3 to 3.5 hours of battery compared to nearly 8 before. My cell stand by has actually gone down lately as well so the radio isn't doing it that I know of.

Any ideas from these screen shots anyone?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Marlowr05:
I have found that the new Rom for me anyway has the best battery life by far. Also make sure you have always on data turned off or unchecked. That will save you a massive amount of battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] captivate:
overall, great rom and the extreme amount of stability and speed as expected from Fresh.

Definitely gonna be using this one for a while
[EVO 4G Android Development] tracerit:
where do i turn this setting off? Settings > Accounts and Sync > Background Data and Auto-sync?
[EVO 4G Android Development] billyapd21:
Can you still use the HTC Clock with this file? I like the Vanila lock screen but I also want to keep the HTC Clock. Is there any way of doing that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ssolomon:
Will that affect any mail/facebook/weather sync or does the schedule for those things supercede having the data not set to always on?
[EVO 4G Android Development] secondechomatt:
what's up with the Market? I did the cache wipe and I still am having issues dowloading apps and updating apps.

I know this isn't a fresh issue, but just lookin for some help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SilentSummer:
Battery life has been amazing with the last 2-3 Fresh ROM's. I haven't even bothered with a custom kernel for some time. Also I have left SetCPU disabled for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eaglesw00t:
Im actually experiencing just the opposite of many of you.

I installed 3.4 just Saturday.

I charged my phone Sunday night, and didnt use it, and by the time 8:30am came along Monday morning, I was at 56% battery.

I changed my battery to a different one. Charged my battery last night at 11pm, and took the phone off the charger. As I write this, at 9:30am, its currently at 49%. I havent made any calls or texts. I havent installed any apps yet. I have gps and everything else turned off. There shouldnt be anything at all running whatsoever besides my battery meter. I didnt even install a task manager, just to verify battery life.

I guess I should fully wipe with Amon Ra's and reflash? I flashed and wiped with clockwork, so perhaps it didnt fully wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_sheets:
got a question i have the newer phone and have had trouble with setup for root but worked it out and have root but when i install the rom im getting a error is there a fix for the newer phone i know some of the threads say to use the stock kernel is there a way to use stock with this rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
This has been the best ROM as I got close to two days yesterday, and I have been very happy. Very stable, fast and just works. I have everything manual such as I manually sync my corp email +2 Yahoo + Google account when I am not at my desk, and checking stocks, texting, browsing and some game time.

When it sleeps overnight, I get about 2 to 4 % usage with WiFi on, and 3G off. I am using Y5 which remembers my favorite WiFi access point, and keeps WiFi on/off. Do turn-on 3G when I need it like driving, and sitting in long traffic light.

This is by far the best ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rezidual:
I'm also having issues with the Market. Ever since upgrading to 3.4.0.1 it has been acting up. I can't update or dl any apps. I tried clearing the cache partition in Clockwork and clearing the data from the Market app to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dplante:
this rom is hands down the best in battery life and performance, i just tried Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo rom but it drained my battery in like 3hrs and the performance wasnt the greatest, i went back to freshs yesterday around 5ish pm and the battery was still at 78% at 11:30pm, AWESOME!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Marlowr05:
To turn off always on data. Go to the home screen. Press menu. Then settings. Then wireless & networks. Then scroll down to mobile networks. Click on it. Then unchecked always data on. It should not affect things like your mail or anything that is set ti sync. I use k9 mail and have it check every hour or so and no problems here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] secondechomatt:
same here, this is a sprint/google server issue. They are aware of it and are working on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Marlowr05:
I am wondering is there anyway to get the force roaming option just like in cm6. Also when in cm6 and virus Rom when I hit the power off button to get the options of a fastboot. Recovery. Restart. Anyway to get these in fresh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vdubtx:
Anyone else having trouble with Chrome to Phone? With my latest flash of Fresh yesterday, have not been able to get it to work?? Also my data speeds are very slow. May have to go back to a prior kernel or something.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jefbal99:
Here is a Zip you can flash from recovery that adds those options to the reboot menu. It was previously posted in this thread...

Toss into the root of your SD, then reboot into Recovery and select the zip. I wiped my cache and dalvik before hand, not sure if that's required.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rezidual:
thanks for the heads up secondechomatt. could you let me know where you got your info from so i can keep on top of it and know when it's fixed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmblalock:
I wonder why it's not affecting everyone... I haven't had a single issue with my market as of yet
[EVO 4G Android Development] Marlowr05:
Awesome. Thanks for that and sorry I dint catch it earlier lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] st1ngr4y:
I went back to 3.3.0.1... felt like 3.4.0.1 was buggy and battery life wasnt as good as it previously was.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Marlowr05:
Is there a hack or files I can use from cyanogenmod 6 to get the force roaming options.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ingenium13:
It won't affect apps that manually check for updates at a set interval, but it does affect apps that push, including GMail and Google Voice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] secondechomatt:
The data/market program issues are fixed now. It was isolated to the great lakes area and all of Florida. What was really funny was that it didn't affect all EVOs, rooted or not.

I got my info from the sprint forums.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsschappell:
For some reason, I can't flash it. It aborts due to no signature.

Facebook Fix:

To install the new Facebook app, go into ES file explorer and remove the apk from your system app files, or uninstall using Titanium Backup. Then reboot your phone. Now go into the market and install the official Facebook app.

To get contact syncing:

Both the new app and the "for HTC Sync" app do it. The best thing to do is disable it in the new, official app, and just use the "for HTC Sync" app for this. To do this, and to remove duplicates in case you had both sync, open the app, hit menu-settings-Sync Contacts, and either hit don't sync or remove.

[EVO 4G Android Development] N00dle:
Try reading back a few pages, or all of them for that matter. the Rom is not broken.

Oh and for all the people wondering about using the normal HTC bar at the bottom instead of espresso just use a stock root safe rom then. Don't hate on flipz or fresh just because his rom doesn't use the standard. I love espresso and that is 1 of many reasons I use fresh as opposed to the stock root safe rom.

Contact Groups

I know we used to have this ...somewhere, some version...

When you opened PEOPLE and clicked on MENU then chose VIEW, you could select which GROUPS showed up. Now it shows "Google" and "Show auto Gmail contacts". I know I had a choice previously of choosing which label groups showed up. For instance, I have groups in Gmail for my contacts as Family, Friends, Work, Non-contacts, Restaurants, etc... I would like only the groups I choose to appear in my contact list in PEOPLE, such as not-choosing the Non-Contacts list, and allowing the rest of my Gmail labeled GROUPS to appear. I looked around, and cannot find anyone else who has a clue as to where this option as gone. I know it was on the HTC Hero, and I know I had it in 1.5 or 1.6 and maybe even 2.0, but I don't see anyone else mentioning how to get this option back. Anyone??

WHHHHAAAT FORRRREEAL?! I need to try it, so many bad things I hear about

installing Advanced task killer.

You recommend anything that will backup the apps besides Titanium. I use titanium

but it becomes a hassle having to install each one individually when restoring, anything

out there to avoid such thing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmblalock:
I've always used advanced task killer and its always gave me a huge increase in battery life. I've never had a problem.

- Mike
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
Task Killers are useless you have your apps setup right. It only helps with apps that have running services running on background which can, most of the times, be disabled by unchecking the right option on their Settings (e.g. Disable Notifications on eBay app, Disable Backup on Astrid, etc.) Improperly auto-killing tasks such as Tango, Tikl, Kik, will break it in the sense that it will not work unless you physically have the app opened, which means, they're useless.

The Task Killer itself is a running service, which means, that having that on is consuming more battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmblalock:
While that is somewhat true, there are many things you can't turn off in the settings. Regardless of what you say, the task killer has helped my battery life greatly. For example, here are the apps that I have my task killer killing:

google search

mybackup pro

superuser

voice dialer

sprint football live

youtube

voice search

pandora

qik

rom manager

fresh updater

news

music

xda

I am sure those 14 items starting up every time my phone reboots and running in the background use way more resources than does the task killer app itself. My battery life confirms this very evidently. Of course, the things that I want to run in the background and that I don't want to start manually are not being killed by my task killer (swift key, market, gmail, messages, voicemail, facebook, clock)

Anyone notice that when on a phone call if you place the phone face down the speaker does not come on automatically like it used to?
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
Actually, those are not running services. They're just apps that have been allocated in the memory so that they can start up more fluidly. These do not consume any battery unless ey are active. The running services, at are consuming battery are found in the Settings>Applications>Running Services.

I recommend you download SystemPanel from the Market and monitor the apps that are consuming battery. You'll understand what I'm talking about then.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmblalock:
I'll check that out, but if I leave those apps running that 'aren't consuming battery' then I loose several hours of battery time. So apparently they are using battery somehow...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
2.2 manages that now, anything before 2.2 probably needed a task killer, if your killing tasks in 2.2 your actually decreasing battery life wasting cpu cycles
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmblalock:
I think the task killer does a better job. If that was true then why is my battery life significantly better with the task killer than without it? Answer me that.

Ok i have my phont rooted and i have Fresh Evo 3.4. I have a quick question when i click on Fresh Updater and click on Tweaks and it shows a theme to download. can i download all those themes and change them at will like HTC Scenes?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
if you say so, your applying windows logic to a linux world

no, you have to flash like anything else, there is no hot swap for themes other than flashing
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
My only answer would be that one of those apps that your task killer is killing is running a service in the background and by killing it you are also killing the service. As I mentioned, check your running services and make sure to disable those you don't care about. For example, Astrid Tasks has a backup service running in the background by default. I disabled it by going to the apps Settings and disabling that option. Now it doesn't run the service anymore. You don't need a task killer to prevent those services from starting.

Android always keeps some apps on standby, it's normal and won't consume any CPU. It actually imrpoves battery life by reducing research time when you do utilize these apps. As the above person mentioned, you cannot apply Windows logic to Linux. It's a completely different infrastructure.

I used to worry about those same things like you when I first started with this OS.

Get SystemPanel and check which apps are consuming the most CPU when idling, those are your culprits.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Noxious Ninja:
Titanium Pro? It automates the process and has worked flawlessly for me. It was the first app I paid for on my Evo.

It's actually analogous to the disk cache in any modern operating system. If you have unused RAM, you might as well put something you're likely to use soon in there. Windows works somewhat similarly to Android in that it will leave ended programs in RAM until something else needs the RAM - it just lumps all of this into an opaque "cached" category instead of telling you exactly which items are there.

Granted, Android is a little different in that it doesn't actually completely kill the processes until memory is needed, but it's close enough.

Thanks guys, I will give Astro a try first and then if worst comes to worst I shall

I am using Setcpu only on screenoff. min/max-245 and it took three hours for a

percent to go down. I understand that smartass profile automatically sets the MHz

feel a lag when I turn it on, and when sleeping Pandora runs like a charm.

I don't know if its the Rom but my 4g is not working. My friend will b in the same room n he will pick up 4g but mine just stays scanning. Anyone know how to fix this ??
[EVO 4G Android Development] cruecu:
I'm not usually the type of person to jump on here after a day's use and claim "greatest battery life ever" on a rom, but I love this latest Fresh. I've tried baked snack (which was very good), used almost every king or netarchy kernel, used the 2 previous fresh roms before this one, and used stock roms and kernels. I have to say that my phone is giving me insane battery life right now on this rom and included kernel. I have the phone underclocked at all times down to 691 and the screen off profile. With a cheap, ebay extended battery, I haven't lost one bar after 11:45 up time, 1:30 awake time. Extended battery or not, that is insane.

My phone was having awake issues over the last few weeks on every kernel and rom, stock included. I reformatted my card and did a full wipe on the phone before installing this fresh rom. I obviously know the battery life and performance is getting a boost because I did these wipes and formats, but if it isn't broke.....I'm afraid to try anything else because this is performing so good and sleeping perfectly. Thanks for the hard work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cruecu:
Of course my phone is not sleeping just minutes after I typed all that. Unbelievable. I haven't opened one program. I give up. I really hate this phone sometimes. I can't do anymore than I've done to fix this problem. Any solutions?

Yes 3 suggestions,

look at battery usage - spare parts

kill the keyboard, and browser

use OC-widget with notifications on to non(semi-non)intrusively monitor sleep mode (upon wake). Cause you can tell it to act while sleeping.
