[EVO 4G Android Development] lawdog1:
Thanks to all of you for the tips. I do charge it overnight, and did clear the battery cache before installing this rom. Really, I didn't even know what it was, just cleared everything that could be cleared to be safe since everywhere I read people say clear this and that LOL. I even switched from clockwork mod to Amon-ra and recleared everything and backed up to be sure i saved my wimax keys before flashing this rom. I've used it for 2 days now with the same result. the battery drains quickly all day. Not just at first. Also, if my battery were bad, wouldn't I have noticed this same problem with the stock Sprint just 2 days ago?

I'll try the reboot/reset battery procedures, but am not so optimistic since like I said, just 2 days ago it was fine with Sprint Stock. also, I haven't installed any apps other than root explorer. I had more apps installed on the stock sprint than this custom rom. I assume Calkulin did a great job stripping this rom of battery hog apps, so I'm pretty much running it how he intended it to be right now until I figure this out.

I could go all day with moderate use on the Sprint stock. Usually about 20-30% by bedtime with decent use (mostly phone calls/text and a little web). I only use Gmail so my sync options are the same. I just rebooted my phone so not sure if that messes with the battery use stats. Battery use right now shows mostly android system/cell standby and then phone idle. Partial Wake usage shows Tango on top (not sure what that even is) at 3m 11s with a short blue bar. Everything else is hair thin. I'm going to remove Tango regardless since I don't even know what it is.

Thanks.. Anything ok netarchs cfs havs.. Most aggressive?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawdog1:
I'll start doing that. I've actually had this since release day so I am very familiar with the battery. I did the setting tweaks that were proposed on PPCGeeks many months ago and that greatly improved my battery life over the default settings. I relied on my phone for business mostly so I never wanted to put custom roms on there in fear of my calendar not working. But now I am changing professions so don't really care and decided to go with this rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smiznith:
Try this... Turn off always on mobile data under settings - mobile network. I still get my notidications (heytell, gmail, wordfeud, etc) but battery life substantially increased! Went 24hrs unplugged, got down to 16%. Send emails, txt, used google maps (battery drainer) and had wifi on all day.. Also im using sbc #132 kernal with the trickle charge

[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
I didn't look to see if the phone was going to sleep or not, but i did notice turning 4g on results in the battery draining VERY fast. Decided to leave it on last night for a little while since sprint increased their coverage in LA so that i get a good 4g signal at home now. Left it on for a less then an hour and the phone dropped by 15% or so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawdog1:
Haha, yeah, that's the trick from PPCGeeks I was referring to earlier. It really seemed to make a difference on battery life on the stock rom. It's the first setting I changed when I first booted up with Calkulin. I never noticed any issues or problems with it off and am not entirely sure what exactly it does other than waste the battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawdog1:
I wasn't sure what Tango was, and didn't have it with my previous stock ROM. I decided to remove it and googled what it was. Seems like there's a problem with it causing reboots on certain model Evos. I wonder if this is at all related to what others are finding with Calkulin's latest rom, and if Tango was in his previous versions.

food for thought:

It has been in the last 8 versions. From that website which is from 2 months ago "Good news! We just released an update that will not make your HTC EVO crash when launching Tango."
[EVO 4G Android Development] kamiller42:
In a related battery consumption topic, anyone have any ideas how to fix the battery eating suspend process? When that process gets hung at 100% CPU, your battery dies in a few hours. It is a very annoying bug.

In fact, I would guess that if a kernel developer fixed that problem, many of these "ROM X drained my battery in just a few hours" complaints would go away.

Yes, suspend did get hung up my EViO recently. Not EViO's fault. It's an Android thing. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11126

100mv script

If your phone can handle Calk's 75mv script but not the 150mv script, you might try the file below.

I just edited Calk's script from the 150mv file. Put it in /system/etc/init.d via terminal and rebooted. No more random reboots and tearing like the 150 script for me.

I would appreciate it if someone who understands the script would look at it and point out any errors.

Edit: link removed.

Just wondering is there a way to turn on the boot animation sound
[EVO 4G Android Development] gadgetluva:
Notifications are slower; they're not push usually. When you wake your phone, it re-establishes the 3G connection and allows for notifications to come through as data gets synced. What I've noticed in my extensive testing is that sometimes apps will update if you have them update periodically (e.g. hourly or whatnot), but oftentimes they will fail if you haven't touched your phone in a few hours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtruty:
If you stream Pandora or anything else while the phone is sleeping, the connection will shut off after 10-15 minutes when "Always on Mobile data" is deselected.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
What you edited was the section for the undervolt module for the stock kernel which was used on v1.7.5 and below, that won't affect the voltages for the Ziggy kernel found in v1.7.6+

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] atapia984:
I like it a lot. Thanks. Can you put something together using this icon with that Gas Battery meter? I would really appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eg1122:
Yeah the phone should use more battery when 4g is on but when the phone sleeps it should not drop that fast...like I said leaving 4g on prevents the phone to sleep therefore battery life is terrible...I switched roms (fresh evo 3.5.0.1) to investigate this further and the phone does sleep while 4g is on and the phone enters sleep normally and battery life is better with 4g on than in calk's rom. In general I like calk's rom more than fresh, but this one little bug is driving me nuts. Hopefully calk reads this and looks into it.

FYI...I'm on HW 003 and my gf's evo's HW is 004 and both have this issue with it. I'm going to try older versions and see if this issue is still present.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
let me know when you are throwing it out the window so i can catch it :)

Dunno what problems you are having. Without being more specific, i'd say do a full wipe if you haven't already done so. if that doesn't fix whatever the problem is, you might want to consider putting the phone back to stock rom and seeing how it behaves. if it's not working right with the stock rom, then sounds like you might have a defective phone and you should try and get it replaced.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
Sure. I had the gas gauge already, just had to swap out the google talk icon. I didn't flash it to test it but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Let me know if the icon doesn't look right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
ah ok. This isn't that big of a deal for me since i dont really use the 4g all that much. Plus if i am at home, i can use my wifi instead which is faster anyhow. I'm sure caulk will fix it at some point though. I'll just leave 4g off until then.

1.7.6b or like me 1.7.5 or 1.7X or different ROM all together that you have much life out of your battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] axiapc:
OK so is Sprint Hotspot strickly 3G?? Caz with 1.76b I cant get 4G to lock in a signal. I do turn on the 4G first, get a signal locked and then click on Hotspot and when I do that then the 4G starts to scan endlessly..

Any fix to this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bpqow:
Use the wireless tether app included with the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
Not sure if you were talking to dj or me - i'm the one who posted the screen shots a page or two back.

I've got the latest version of the rom installed. I was getting much worse battery life a few weeks back. I did a full wipe of the phone and reinstalled the rom and for me, that drastically improved my battery life. I easily get 2 days of use now, but that's light usage. Send/receive a couple of txts, a few minutes of phone calls and updating an app or two, maybe playing a game for 10 minutes. Prior to the full wipe, i would get maybe 15-16 hours out of the phone with the same usage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
By setting this setting to off, you will indeed conserve battery life. After 5 minutes with the screen off, the radio turns off or enters some sort of sleep mode. No data can be sent or received when it's set this way.

If you're using the googlemail app, it doesn't follow this setting, and still maintains a connection with google so that push mail works. However, any other app or email program should not be able to transmit or receive. If wifi is turned on, then that will be used for push mail instead. That is of course, assuming the wireless sleep policy is set to always on.

So, unless you're using wifi, leave always use mobile data to on, but configure the apps themselves for more conservative usage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] axiapc:
haha yeap that did it.. thanks. Dam RR locally filtered me so now they can stick it with my wireless 4G LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] polkadots:
I think I've finally joined your company when it comes to standby battery life.

I wiped everything under the sun last night, flashed 1.7.5, flashed the zip to remove Sense and the zip to bring back the search button and rebooted.

I haven't done a lot else...setup Facebook, setup Gmail and synced everything...that's about it. Took it off the charger about 18 hours ago...1 hr 20min of awake time today with pretty light usage and I'm at 72%. Love it.

Now...will come the real test. I plan on switching from ADW to Launcher Pro and reloading all my apps...and then I'll run the same test again tonight. I also plan on doing a full wipe of everything and reflash. Everything should be great.

I am fearful though, that when loaded, the when I use the phone it'll just annihilate my battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rkd2398:

Anyone have any screen shots of 1.7.7?
[EVO 4G Android Development] polkadots:
General question...I know (we know) that this ROM is above and beond outsanding when the phone is sleeping...but how is everyone's battery life with it not sleeping, and under moderate use - especially if you use Launcher Pro?

I know it depends based on usage, widgets, etc...but it seems that when in use the battery dies quickly for me...but I just want to know if this is common?

Calk, FANTASTIC work man! Truly outstanding. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jgalan14:
Thanks for the update downloading now :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] gadgetluva:
so far, so good on 1.7.7! Awesome job Calk
[EVO 4G Android Development] kdelinux:
ummmmmm since the theme and pictures of the layout have not be move around much since 1.7.X started, I am going to take a wild guess no..... Sorry, like many I am still installing the ROM now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hachiroku:
i hope you guys realize that just because on guy gets good life out of his battery it doesn't mean you will.

if that person lives in an area with great tower strength and doesn't move around much he'll have a long lasting battery.

for me, i work in an old brick, steel, and insulated building so regardless of anything i do by the end of my work day i'll have 30% battery. mind you i did not touch my phone all day, and it states i have 2-3 out of 5 bars of signal.

when your signal is low your phone boosts the searching strength which wastes battery to boost your reception.

best suggestion i can give you guys with battery problems? disable mobile internet at all times you don't use it. this helps with low signal area's as well and allows my battery to last 2-8x longer.

calkulin's rom helped my battery, but nothing spectacular. the upgrade to an 1800mah battery helped more than the rom update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] polkadots:
For example, I just ran a Titanium batch backup of apps and data (pro version) - 199 elements...battery dropped 4%. Is that normal? Maybe it is, I don't know?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kdelinux:
I agree. I have every thing but 2G on unless I need to get he net going.... thanks for the point of view, I could not say it any better
[EVO 4G Android Development] polkadots:
I think most people understand that the variables are too numerous to list...but I'm just generally curious to hear the observations of others. Like I said, when in sleep mode I was getting fantastic life - I've since reinstalled Launcher Pro and setup all my homescreens and reinstalled the apps I want. I am curious to see if that sleep life stays strong...and then see how well th battery does when it's in use. Just curious. :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] rkd2398:
No screens, but it looks the same as the other versions.

Calk, working smooth on my HW003. Doing a full charge and will post back tomorrow with stats. Thanks again for another great rom!!!!!:D:D

[EVO 4G Android Development] th3b055:
Great great rom, flashing new version now..

Small request though, could someone post a .zip file to remove the GPS icon? Sorry if it has been posted or asked before :o

One last request, but this is for Calkulin. Do you implement an "Ad Free App" type of feature in your Roms? If so could your remove it? Every Rom since 1.4 has had this. Only a problem because even when wireless tethering from phone to pc, certain flash sites, as well as flash ads in web don't load at all
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
Have you tried removing it via the settings/application menu or titanium backup?

I find it quite useful actually.
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3b055:
Never mind I just found out what the problem was, he does block the ads. Saw a zip file in the first page that restores ads (hosts I guess) in apps, but this seems to affect wireless tethering to pc as well

One step closer to perfection :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] hachiroku:
anybody know if PowerControlWidget has a button to enable and disable mobile internet? or should i post in the PCW thread?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
Regarding the ad blocking, if you know what's being blocked, you can manually edit the hosts file in /system/etc to remove the offending url's. Otherwise, regardless whether it's data on the phone or tethering, it ultimately gets compared to the hosts on the phone. If there's an entry, it will be blocked.

Anything more, and you need a full fledged firewall that permits block on a per app bases.

Yes it works over 3G & no you won't be charged. If you you want to use 4G to tether, though, you need to to use the Wifi tether app

Thank you. The game play was kind of choppy but it would do for work.no 4g in my area yet anyway. But its a great feature in the rom. In the next couple of weeks when I buy my extended battery and case I'm definitely throwing a donation Calkulins way.
