So, I am not getting any good battery life from this rom. And i am ussing netarchy 4.1.9.1 kernel. So far I am only getting 6 -8 hours of usage when i am using my phone moderately... texting, news, minor facebooking, some browsing. I can use the phone to do all these things in under 7 minutes and sit the phone down for another 10 mins. I may lose around 1-3% of battery within this 20 min period jus bcuz i was using it. I a have setCPU profile that underclock to cpu to 300mhz wen screen is off. Today i stayed woke until 7 am (im in chicago) and woke up at 6 pm. i charged it to 82%. and once i woke I had 31% of battery left. evidence is in attachments. also wenever i charge the phone for an hour or full charge (mine only take 2 hours to charge now. i dont think this is normal) it will hold at that percentage for at least an hour before dropping. then after that it is down hill from there... and once it hits 30-35% it drops rapidly dont even last 2 hours if i use it lightly. im thinking replacement battery?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
I have the aosp fm radio if that helps all you do is install like an apk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ElAguila:
I am not sure if anything happened with the update profile. After almost 10 minutes the updating profile message went away and said nothing more. I just sent a test message from my friends phone with a 300kb photo attached. We will see what happens.

Update: Well that one didn't download either. I am hoping it is an issues on Sprint's end because I have tried to update profile again and it is still just sitting there. This wasn't happening a few days ago so hopefully it is something with sprint and not something requiring me to repace my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
From 8-12 for sure, but probably for the entire time you were having this drain, your phone was not sleeping correctly. Your cpu usage was way up there with zero device usage. I suggest charging, then restarting, using system panel to "kill all" even system, apps on startup about three times as soon as you can after the phone boots, then leave it alone for a few minutes. Then check to see if your awake time vs. up time is the same. If it is, repeat the reboot kill, if it isn't, then you most likely won't experience that drain again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lljovell:
Is there any way to prevent some applications from running in the background because I use system panel to kill all apps but after a few seconds they start running again. Apps like pandora, voice mail, and messages.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonyh703:
wow my battery life has doubled (at least) since using this rom... i was on a earlier version of fresh, switched to burnt droid 1.2 and was only getting like 12-14 hrs batt life... i got 30 on my first charge using this ROM!!!! (could have helped that my PRI and Radio were updated as well, but still... fresshhhhhhhh)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ElAguila:
Well still no luck with downloading the mms. I don't think it has anything to do with this rom because I had had it on before and I just wanted start with a clean version of this rom and that is why I did the factory reset. I gues I will restore my nandroid. I will wait until tomorrow on the outside chance it is something with sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
I can confirm the mms problem. I just sent myself a picture and it's not coming through... it doesn't even register that there is a message coming.... just disappeared from existence.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Scratch that... I just didn't wait long enough... message came through without a problem (just a little delayed).... I'm using handcent if that helps you in troubleshooting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
Sucks because I really wanted to start using last.fm more often. I wonder if it's the kernel?

Tbh, I like the performance/battery life of this kernel and don't feel like experimenting with others.

Let me know if you if you ever figure anything out and I'll do the same.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
I've wondered if it is the kernel, and I think it might be, but I just got battery looking stable with the stock kernel so I don't wanna screw around with it right now, ya know.

If I do get antsy and flash something I'll post though
[EVO 4G Android Development] tekeeladude:
Gmail sync problem is due to gmail update. Google is aware of the problem. This is not a fresh specific problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimbobtexas:
Ditto. Awful life with this ROM, on 3 different kernels. I wiped everything today (cache/Dalvik/Batt stats/butt), and will give it one more day. I LOVE the ROM, but when I lose 40% of my battery in 2 hours, it's useless to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] macmill:
I am starting to notice a battery change as well from 3.3 to 3.4 .. On 3.3 stock it

was a little better than 3.4's -- I switched to net 4.1.9.1 on 3.3 and was getting

crazy awesome battery life. So I tried it on 3.4 it was not as good as I would

think :(. I am currently on stock right now and I am not really happy with the

results as far as battery life. I might try to going back to net. I did do the

calibration, and wiped battery stat when fully charged on both kernels. I hope I

figure something out =) I love the rom overall though, very smooth and good

looking. I smile everytime the splash screen comes on. ^_^ AND I TOO WIPED

MY BUTT
[EVO 4G Android Development] crowly100:
I can't install angry birds, air traffic control, google sky maps, and I know FM Radio was an issue. Does anyone know how to get these things to install. Also the stocks widget is gone I use that a lot. Text and sms work fine everything else seems normal. Thanks

REFER TO POST #6261

Also:

Check this out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vlug:
i jus did what u said, up time and awake time are a minute apart. I dont think this is the prob tho. Look at my attachments again, pg 626, u will notice that my up time and awake time are 20 hours apart. and just now i had the phone off the charger for 20 mins and no use. Dropped down to 97%. idk wtf the problem is. I even do the method wen u give it a full charger turn it off and keep puttin it back on the charger until the LED turns green. that doesnt solve anything either
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
is it easy to make the manup theme work ???? i might flash it in a few, but it seems like a lot of stuff to do
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
damn im just a lil mad right now.. tried to flash some evolite theme, and that crap just messed up my evo.. apps2sd not working properly.. lost ANGRY BIRDS app, and cant download it or any protected apps from market anymore.. wtf.. smh ... did a nand restore and that aint helping either... smh

---------------

and on top of that, setcpu is bugging out... market not showing any of my previous downloads, some apps not working right.. smh.. this gonna be a long night !!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
might have to do a full data wipe and just start from scratch..
[EVO 4G Android Development] ElAguila:
Well I am pretty sure my mms problems were sprint related. I realized that trying to send an mms from a friends sprint phone took almost 10 minutes to send a 330kb photo and I never got it. Tried this morning and it went great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wisiwyg:
Try out new Netarchy-Toastmod's new kernel...

I'm using the 4.2.1 CFS BFQ HAVS More Smartass Universal kernel (yes, smartass!) found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719763

It is giving me the best battery life/performance mix I've seen with Fresh's 3.4.0.1 ROM. Even with improvement in battery, i'm getting 33-35 on Linpack and 52-53 on fps2d.

I can't wait to see where the meter will be pegged tomorrow morning when I get up...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
try wiping cache/etc in apps under settings for market. Also i have moved off of using setcpu all together other to set kernel preferences. sometimes a wipe of the market info gets it back for me. APPS2SD??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Again, the Device category was high, and that doesn't show up ok up time vs awake time. You most likely won't have this problem again

Severe battery drain problem on 3.4.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toomuchgame441:
Just more confirmation that this update may have to be passed up, will be waiting on newer update to fix some of this current releases issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
No issues here... To what issues are you referring?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmblalock:
I did a full wipe and reflash and Gmail has been sync'ing fine since I did it last night.. if it happens again I'll let you know!
[EVO 4G Android Development] flickmaker:
No issues on my end. 3.4.0.1 is running perfectly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmblalock:
Besides my Gmail sync issue that was fixed with a reflash I have no problems with this release its running great! I do feel the battery life was better with the previous release though..
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Thanks very much for checking... I'm sorry you had to go through all that... I figured everybody saw this post from tekeeladude.

Google has fixed whatever they broke and it seems to be sync'ing fine without a wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmblalock:
Well, either way, at least it's fixed! I must have missed that post.. doh!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastfreddy7:
Ive been having a lot of issues with the android market since going with fresh 3.4, downloads and updates take for ever to start, wont download for an hour or longer sometimes, and other times it will download to 100% and then never install it. Anyone having a similar issue or know how to fix it? I love the fresh roms btw, thanks flipz!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
wipe cache for the market in settings - applications - market

No worries... just know that your sacrifice to the greater good does not go unrecognized.

No issues here either. I also noticed slight improvement on battery life on my end. I don't know what people are complaining about.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Retiredfinally:
I have used Fresh ROM's since my first Android, a Hero and now on my EVO. I have tried several different ROM's and all of them have issues in one form or another but Fresh can always be counted on to have the cleanest, no nonsense ROM around! I have donated once and plan on doing so again, his work is that Good!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lokko21:
Has anybody sort out the MMS problem not receiving I can send but not receive....
[EVO 4G Android Development] toomuchgame441:
These issues, just to point out a few from the last few pages of this thread alone.

I love Fresh ROMs but its just a few more problems then I'm use to. Like I said earlier, Fresh ROMs are among the best IMHO, I'll just stick it out with 3.3.0.1 which is running perfectly for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Try turning your phone off and back on (as in reboot). This seems to be a Sprint problem (as explained earlier a page or two back by the person that initially reported the problem).
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
MMS is a Sprint issue, not a ROM issue - nobody else is having it but that one guy and he stated clearly that his problem went away a day later.

Battery drain is a problem with the Netarchy (or other third party) kernels and has nothing to do with the official Fresh release.

Android Market was a glitch from Android which was reported fixed by the same person that you quoted.

Awake times are most likely due to a theme or something that was put on the phone because only a couple of people are reporting it and nobody that is using a flat out Fresh install with no modifications (like a different theme or kernel)

The quote by robpet2 says quite clearly that a theme broke is apps2sd... which has nothing to do with the ROM

Jimbotexas says in the post that you quoted that he is having bad battery on 3 different kernels.

As I said... There's nothing wrong with the ROM. If you install a theme or a different kernel and have problems then the problem is not with the ROM itself.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Skippy38:
Ok I've tried every Rom on the boards and while some do look better than fresh (lowrider azrael for one) no one can come close to battery life and smoothness and just Damn this thing just works. Don't even know why I go elsewhere. Thank to Rom creator for a great Rom. Looking forward to the future.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Thanks, well stated. You just saved me the trouble of doing this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lokko21:
The MMS indeed was something else problem not freshhhh, cuz I went back to stock rom (just rooted) and I had the same problem, so come back to freshh 3.4.0.1, clear caches Handcent and Stock App and everything start working fine..... I love My Freshhh Evo.

YouTube crash?

Anyone else seeing an issue with watching a YouTube video, then upon exit, the phone spontaneously reboots? It happens every time for me...:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] kanyewest:
i think its a app problem, bcause im having that same issue and im on muiu rom.... when watching a video in full screen and u hit the back button on the phone.. it freezes then restarts the phone...

any one else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomh1979:
nope, worked fine for me apon exiting the app, watched me some phil defranco.

Thats weird, Youtube working fine for me...
[EVO 4G Android Development] adamspt2:
Just flashed 3.4 and it seems to be behaving a bit better with some things than my CyanRC6.1. However I do have two current issues.

I did install without a data wipe, hoping that I would be able to maintain my current installed programs. I get a frequent android.process.media force close. Also, ROM Manager is now not installed. When I find it on the Market and select it, the Market does some weird thing and automatically goes back to the front page for the Market. I figure if I can get ROM Manager back on, then I could flash 3.4 again after a wipe. I have cleared cache & data from the Market app and rebooted and that hasn't yet fixed the problem.

Which brings up a separate question. I was running Cyan and now want to try other ROM's. Do you basically get a ROM the way you want it, back that up, wipe and flash a new ROM and then rebuild it (as far as installed programs, screens, layout, colors, etc) and then back that up and start over? There's no easy way to carry over installed programs and visual settings between ROM's?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ElAguila:
I just want to emphasize a couple of things again. I was having mms issues. It was not this rom but something wrong on sprint's end. I tried sending an mms from another sprint phone that was not a smart phone and it took 10 minutes to send a 300kb jpg file. This was yesterday evening. This morning things were working fine. Also for those having issues check to see if you are running any apps that are task managers or battery tweaks. My friend was having issues and realized he had an app called juice defender running. When his screen would shut off(he had it set to 30 seconds), it would disable the 3g connection so the mms would not finish receiving or sending.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beandogg:
I'm having fantastic battery life with this 3.4 release. Thanks so much...it's as smooth as butter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
yeah i know.. tapatalk wont let me change the image upload resolution.. gonna post from the pc later on.. after the wipe im getting almost 25-30hrs with my extended battery with heavy usage.

yeah im getting great battery life after wiping and reinstalling this rom due to a theme borking up my evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Yeah, they really crippled the upload portion of the app
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
you must wipe

Use Titanium but only backup and restore the user apps... don't try to backup and restore user apps+data... If you do this, and disregard this warning... you will inevitably be back here complaining that something doesn't work (as evidenced by your initial statement that you're having problems after installing this ROM without wiping).
[EVO 4G Android Development] macmill:
NICE! Thanks for the recommendation I am flashing it right now as we speak :).

So far I have it 16 hours (moderate use) and still at 60%. I am going to try net

now! :):) Thanks again I hope it is beastly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i am giving net's 4.2.1 cfs aggressive kernel, first time, i will submit some feedback when i get more use out of her
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Hey guys noobish question... I notice now when i launch titanium there is a section that show storage space of the phone and the sd card. After flashing this Rom there is now an additional one for sd (a2sd) which I am assuming has to do with the dark tremor app2sd. Questions are what happens if that section runs out of space, can I still move apps to my sd card? Also what affect would this have if I used a rom that didn't utilize dark tremor how would I see what is in there and move it back? Thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] tracerit:
It won't let me enter "*2" in the Dialer. I enter "*" then when I enter "2" the "*" will disappear, the only way to get both shown is to hit the Delete arrow. Even then when I get "*2" shown, and hit Dial, the process "com.android.phone" will Force Close.

Anyone else run into this with Fresh ROM 3.4?
[EVO 4G Android Development] netmasta10bt:
.. its because sprint zone is not installed by default..
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
If anyone is having battery drain issues with the new Rom backup your device and apps , wipe , reflash the Rom , and then reinstall the apps that you know are not battery killers.

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
any apps you don't install anymore because you consider them killers??
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
Tango,live profile , pmessenger ,and other messenger apps , any other video chat software other than qik, all other Twitter apps outside of friendfeed , ( right now I only use tweetdeck ) and I might uninstal that also. If I'm not using it on a regular basis its not getting installed .. change the auto sync to the lowest or off for gmail, and other apps.

Just to show the difference I was getting about 12 hrs with extended battery with moderate to high usage and auto backlighting on .. after the wipe I'm getting about 30 hrs or more... no setcpu at all. Will test with setcpu in a few days

Also only use the stock charger , and charge phone with power off for at least 2hrs after light goes green

All of the sudden I started having problems with NFL Mobile Live. I click it to open it, then it just closes, no notification of force close or anything. I tried uninstalling the reinstalling with Titanium, but still the same problem. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] benshtc:
I'm looking forward to when Fresh releases a new ROM with some new goodies like unlocking the Sprint hot spot like in some of the other devs ROM's. I had to go back to 3.3.0.1. I only use Fresh ROM's because they're so solid I don't even bother testing others. My EVO has really only been Fresh and probably will only be Freshhhhh
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
you need to make sure you have the latest version..
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
If it's "all of the sudden" then it's most likely a problem with Sprint... as you can see through the last few pages, there have been intermittent problems with Sprint services that leads me to believe that they're upgrading their systems/programs.

Some common troubleshooting steps would be to

- makes sure you have the latest version (thanks robpet2)

- reboot your phone

- uninstall the app completely and reinstall

- wipe cache/dalvik

- if you feel so daring, do a full wipe (of course get a NAND backup first so you can come back)

- if you feel even more daring, put a standard Sprint ROM on your phone (again... NAND first!)

I might be mistaken but I think the sprint one is the only one that can be controlled with widgets.

If I am wrong someone explain how I can use something like switchpro to make it work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NSIDIUS:
I'm going to see if I can find the latest version. If anyone knows the latest version right off hand please do share, otherwise I'm off to searching.

I'm not so daring to do the last two options as of yet. Don't feel like restoring everything. :cool: Of course, you gotta do what you gotta do though sometimes.

Think I may go back to 3.3 for now, that one was smoother for me, better battery life too.

Thanks for the answers guys! Greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Worked! Got the new version from texting Football to 7777.

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fresh_KID_J:
Running on fresh Rom 3.4.0.1.. stock kernel was giving me good battery life but not as much as I waned.. so did some research n downloaded (netarchy kernel 4.2 haves more). Also downloaded setcpu n set it so on screen off its 128 max n 128 min on conservative. With my screen off my battery drains about 1% every 4-6 hours. I'll see how long it lasts with screen on n post it up

So it worked from sprint....

[EVO 4G Android Development] Marlowr05:
Anyway I can get the download link to the HTC kernel in this rom.....so far it's the best out there for me anyway. I'm gonna try it on (Virus airbourne) shhh dont tell fresh....so far fresh is the best, but i'm just trying other ones to keep up with options i guess. P.S. It has an awesome theme on the virus rom lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] netmasta10bt:
4.2 havs more caused my phone to not to wake. I switched to 4.2.1 havs more and its working well. netarchy suggests not using setcpu profile, because its not necessary.

without overclocking (no setcpu) I have 21hours on this charge and 45% left.

i posted the stock kernel on page 602.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dag16:
I was getting constant reboots with 4.21 havs more aggressive and setcpu. Phone barely stayed on long enough to allow me to uninstall setcpu, took about five reboots before I could do it. Loving fresh and 4.21
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fresh_KID_J:
U prolly had setcpu over clocking to high
[EVO 4G Android Development] Marlowr05:
Anyway to get the kernel for his Rom to run on another Rom. I love fresh but I am experimenting. I currently have virus airbourne Rom installed. Like it but boy oh buy when I have data turned on and actually use it my battery sure does drop fast. I went from 97 to 90 percent in a matter of 15 minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
Wow... people really need to do their research before posting... the first 10% is a buffer placed on the battery. It is by no means representative of what your drain will be after about ~90%. All kernels will show the same drop on the first 10%.
