Well, its now 12:00 AM, 11 hours since my phone has been unplugged last. I'm sitting at 45% battery.

Since my last post at 3:30 PM (9 hours ago), I have done (wow how sad!) 2 text messages, 0 phone calls, took 1 picture, posted a picture to facebook, set an alarm clock, checked my CPU (usually at around 110 MB), and went on Catch for a very short time. So in 9 hours battery went from 62% to 45%.

Heres more info:

* I rooted 5 days ago, and have EViO installed for 4 days. I originally had FRESH installed for a few hours, then had CM 7 installed overnight, then went to and stuck with EViO :)

* I did a full battery calibration yesterday with Market App Battery Calibration from NeMa

* I have my weather widget update every 3 hours

* I have an HTC people widget, Astrid Task widget, Calendar widget, mixzing widget, photo frame widget (set to update every 30 minutes), touchdown e-mail every 3 hours, gmail push. I removed facebook widget yesterday (was showing 10 MB CPU usage?)

* JuiceDefender is set to only get online every 15 minutes if screen is off.

Android version: 2.2

Radio: 2.15.00.11.19

Kernel: 2.6.32.17-gee557fd htc-kernel@and18-2 #15

Calkulins EViO 2 ROM v1.8

Software number: 3.70.651.1

PRI Version: 1.90_003

PRL Version: 01115

And as far as having power management apps kill apps that will just restart 2 minutes later, the only power management apps I have installed are AutoKiller Memory (settings: Hidden app: 60, content provider: 70, emtpy app: 80 - not sure if my CPU even gets this low though), Juice Defender and Autostarts...nothing too strict?

Info from SpareParts:

Battery History:

Other Usage, Since last unplugged:

Running (20%) - 2h 19m

Screen on (12%) - 1 hr 22 m

Phone On (4%) - 28 m

WiFi On (23%) - 2h 34m

WiFi running (23%) - 2 hr 33 m

That makes it sound like my phone was on and being used actively by me longer than I remember...maybe I'm just going crazy? I couldn't have been on my phone for over 2 hours? - Not really sure what all of that means or if it was even helpful.

Need info from the wakelock option under battery history..
[EVO 4G Android Development] dschoenike:
same thing happened to me. did I do something wrong? no calls or texts for a week now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jefflovell:
sounds like you have lost your data profile. can you make calls but cannot receive calls? no signal bars when idle?

call ##3282# view > data profile > active profile should be 1.

to reset call ##(your msl code)# this will allow you to re-register your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dschoenike:
thank you for the reply. my active profile is 1. I took my phone to Sprint yesterday and nothing they did worked. even gave me a new phone number that didn't work. they're getting me a new phone Tuesday. what's really weird is they tried my number on a different phone, and that one wouldn't receive calls then either. strange.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4thephil:
Well, under battery history I don't see Wakelock. I do see partial wake usage, and here is the info:

Touchdown , then Android System, then JuiceDefender, then Dialer, then UID 10022, then Calendar and finally facebook

Here's something interesting. I saw your post and to reply, I unplugged my phone and brought it to the computer. Turned on the screen - battery at 99%. It took me 3 minutes to find the above information and type it out. My batter after 3 minutes of being unplugged is now at 93%. I literally watched it fall. It skipped 95% actually, went from 96% to 94%. Maybe the calibration did nothing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dschoenike:
double post...... sorry.........
[EVO 4G Android Development] Autris:
Im having the identical issue, no incoming calls/texts and stuck at 1x. Tried this, and then phone works for 1-2 days then quits again. Flashed the latest wireless drivers. Going to try and see if i can downgrade the radios to a previous version and see if it fixes the problems.

And no luck on the flashing a different version of the radios...
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4thephil:
So it's not my awake time. Just left phone unplugged untouched for 1 hour exactly. Battery was at 96% awake time was at 5m 20 seconds. 1 hour later, received 2 texts, turned screen on once without unlocked, battery still at 96% awake time 10 minutes 30 seconds. However, I was on the phone for 2 minutes to reply to the texts, and battery dropped to 92%.

Thanks. I have downgraded to 1.77. We'll see what this does. I took your advice blindly, without knowing, what does the PRI do? So far typing this message took 2% battery

I downgrade to 1.77, have restarted phone once. Didn't use it much until now, I saw I received 5 texts. I replied and sent 5 more in 5 minutes, my battery went from 27% to 17%... :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenifer:
Below copy of one of my post when I was having the same problem you are having……. Just keep EViO rom, try different kernels and make sure you wipe correctly before flash anything. Something that help was installing Amon RA 2.3 but, just be patience

I don’t think it’s just the battery is something during the process of flashing a rom , might be not wiping correctly, a corrupt file or a power surge but something is making the phone unstable…, I too had the same problem and try everything from unrooting, flashing dif kernels and dif room with no luck. The first time I had it replace by sprint and now the second time I tried most of the stuff this guy recommended on this post http://forum.xddevelopers.com/showth... (post #31). Definitely flashing Amon RA 2.3, backing up SD card, format the SD card and use caulkins "format all"card help a lot!!. But, I haven’t created any ext partition yet.

Currently Im losing 3-5% every hour w/ little to no use (everything off Wi-Fi, GPS, background..etc,) if I use internet, read emails or listen to music it will consume 10-15% every 30 min. Last night I flashed Netarchy Kernel Toastmod - 4.3.2-cfs-nosbc-havs-more and got somewhat better today but still I can’t say I’m back to normal. Also, the trick to calibrate the battery doesn’t work don’t matter how long I do it it will not turn green immediately

I will recommend to go setting>about phone>Battery>Battery use and keep an eye on the Android System % if it is over 3-7 % ( depending how unstable the phone is it can stay over 45%) your phone will drain the battery very fast.

Last, I noticed that my EVO sometimes will make a noise like old hard drive on computers do, obviously not that loud but if you pay attention you might hear it.

Here u will find all Netarchy kernels http://www.qap.la/~netarchy/

[EVO 4G Android Development] 4thephil:
Thank you. I will try this. is this right, what you are recommending: flashing Amon RA and a different kernel? Will these work with Calkulins EViO ROM?

I just checked my Battery Use in settings, Android System is reading at 35%. It should be 3-7%??

Thanks for the links as well. Can you be specific as to what I should install? Should I keep 1.77 PRI, and try the new kernel and Amon RA 2.3? Will EViO work just as fast? (Sorry, I don't know nearly as much as you :) )
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
Look in /etc/init.d, I believe it's called 10scalingsomethingorother. You assign a 1 to the governor you want and a 0 to all the rest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vacquero:
Battery levels between 90 and 100 are pretty unreliable. Also, when the phone has been asleep for a while, it seems that the battery level isn't immediately updated on waking (it reads higher than it really is). After a few minutes use the reading catches up. So, it looks like you used a lot of juice in a few minutes, but it was used over the sleep time as well.

A couple of people gave you some good advice. Uninstall the battery management programs and give the Android system a couple of days to settle in. After a couple of days, try a new kernel, and give that a couple of days. That way the system has a chance to settle, and you'll have a baseline for comparing future changes.

Every phone is a little different. It will take a little time to find out the combination that works best for you and your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vacquero:
mount system as readable in ES file explorer. Edit /system/etc/init.d/01cpufreq_governor and set the desired governor value to "1" and all others to "0". Save the file, unmount, reboot. The new governor should be set.

I use the process monitor widget (by 3c06 from the market) to check the governor and other stuff. The battery monitor widget is good too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4thephil:
So, I have since downgraded to 1.77 for both PRI and NV. I then wiped dalvik-cache and installed Netarchy Toastmod - 4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc then rebooted twice. We'll see how this works :) I'm worried only because I feel I didn't wipe enough or in the correct order? I have a Nandroid and a Titanium Backup just in case. I feel doing this would be better:

Complete Wipe

Use Format All.zip

Flash EViO

Flash Netarchy Toastmod - 4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc

Reboot

Restore with Titanium Backup apps and app data, to get back to where I am now but with a cleaner ROM..necessary?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
You're erasing digital data, not wiping your ass! :) Once is enough.

If you use the format all, there's no reason to do the complete wipe. In addition to what complete wipe wipes, format_all also formats the system partition.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hachiroku:
can someone please provide me with the camera.apk installer from this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joehunni:
You're always supposed to reboot immediatedly after flashing the ROM, the kernel should be flashed in a different recovery session. Not doing it this way can lead to issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] meatgel:
That's not necessarily true. I've flashed a ROM, kernel and the search button zip without rebooting between each -- no issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4thephil:
I did not do this - I installed in the same recovery session. Should I be worried? On the lookout of issues? What types of issues?
[EVO 4G Android Development] quocamole:
-1

i wouldn't say "most". i'm "IT support" (:D) for 7 rooted evos and all are running 1.90 with no issues.

+1

quick questions:

1. what recovery are you using? have you flashed amon yet? format all zip have had issues with cw. get on amon.

2. do you install any apps after flashing the rom? i'd just sync my accounts and not install any apps and see how battery is. that will rule out if any apps are causing the battery drain.

3. do you have mobile data always on unchecked?

task killers and jd don't do much in my experience. also, it usually takes about 2 charge cycles for the rom/kernel to settle and battery life starts to improve - when i first flashed evio 1.8 (or any rom), my battery dies in less than 10 hours with strange percentage drops (yes, battery was calibrated). after about 2 charge cycles, it lasts 16+ hours with about the same usage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4thephil:
I did downgrade my radio and PRI, any downside in doing so, other than possible better battery?

I wipe with Amon as I've heard of that, but go back to CWR as I like the scheduled nandroid backups every night.

I did (and always did) install Apps after ROM install. That's a good point, but on the other hand, I wouldn't use my phone without my Apps, so by default battery would be better :)

In settings, I have mobile data always on. In JuiceDefender, its on a schedule - every 15 minutes it connects to the internet to sync Gmail, work email, etc.

And wow, it takes 2 charge cycles? Seems strange to me, cause its all hardware with some software tweaks, why would more charge cycles alone change anything? On the other hand, I don't know anything about that ha :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] quocamole:
pros (better reception and battery life) and cons (worse reception and battery life) for older and newer radios are dependent on the phone and the location. use what works best for you. i've always ran the newest radios without any issues.

you may have an app that is draining the battery, hence would make it NOT a rom issue. just trying to do a little root cause.

"charge cycle" is the unit of measure i'm using but really, the newly installed rom/kernel need time/usage to build all caches, sync data, etc. again. if you pay attention to cpu activity, it is always higher (even when sleeping) when you first flash a new rom and/or kernel then eventually settles down.

turning off mobile data always on is probably the top 3 best way to preserve battery. i do understand why some people need to have it on though.

the last thing i can tell you at this point is maybe try fixing user id in recovery after restoring all your apps (but i recommend running it without apps for a bit to better understand what exactly is causing the battery drain).
[EVO 4G Android Development] joehunni:
Lots of devs recommend flashing ROMs, kernels, and other mods, all in different recovery sessions. I'm not saying not doing it will give you problems but it is a good habit nonetheless. Just like wiping cache and dalvik before any flashing, its just smart to take the extra step for the peace of mind. Plus doing it my way will allow you to know which flash broke something, if something actually went wrong.

[EVO 4G Android Development] 4thephil:
So every time you flash a ROM, your battery will take a few charge cycles to "get to where it should be". What about when you restore via nandroid?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rushco:
You should be able to keep sense and then change the icons to the gingerbread icons 1 by 1. I uninstalled Sense and use ADW EX with the gingerbread theme which changed all the icons for me. You're choice.

:confused: anyone
[EVO 4G Android Development] VisedMonk:
Yeah, that happens sometimes. I bet that your Market issue can most likely be solved one of two ways. The first thing I would try is go into the "Manage applications" and clear the data and cache from the Market. If that doesn't work, boot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik cache.

With your random reboot issue, it is likely due to the uV script that Calk puts on his rom. The first thing I would try is flashing the remove uV zip Calk has attached to the 2nd post. If that doesn't work, try a different kernel. Could be your phone doesn't like the uV and/or Ziggy's kernels. There are lots of options on the kernels, and I always like Netarchy's kernels when I was on a sense-based rom.

Hope this helps, so let me know if these fixes work for you. Feel free to PM me if you need additional help on this issue.

So far, only CM has been able to do this for me that's why I've been sticking w/ it but I'd like to go back to Sense for a while. I had Calk's 1.7.7 but that track feature alone made me switch.

you might want to try doing a factory reset and see if that fixes it. I've never had any issues at all rebooting. My guess would be something you installed is having issues. If you have the patience for it, i'd do a full reset and reinstall the ROM and see if that resolves it. If so, then you can restore your apps a bit at a time and see which one is causing the problem.
