NO. Switching off the Mobile network in Wireless & networks is turning off data.

I too miss the colored GMail notification icon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Ok for what it is worth here is my input on the battery, and I get great battery life.

1. Turn off auto sync

2. Turn off location, there is no reason for it to be on.

3. I have a bt but don't use it all the time but i only have bt on when i use it.

4. I don't use 4g much cuz of the battery drain. Its fast and everything but on every rom i have tried sense i got my evo its the same thing with the battery drain.

Right now I'm using ziggys kernel no were as good on the battery as kings #10 and #17 but i can play my 3d games with no lag now. No matter what kernel i use i use calk's cpu settings plus i add 2 and adjust 1 of his pre set setting. On change screen off too 128/ 128 powersave. I added into the profiles calk has 50% battery and 100% battery. On ziggys kernel at 100% battery 1190/1190 performance on #17 998/998 performance. Wait changed the 80% too, 1190/998 performance. 50% 998/528 conservative.

The point I'm getting at is that with the setting I use with ziggys kernel playing my games texting and phone calls and getting on the forums I get about 24 hours before i have to charge my phone. I took my phone off the charger last night about 11pm and I'm down to 60% battery. If i was using kings #17 kernel i would still be about 80% right now. On kings kernels i get anywere between 48 hours to almost 72 hours. And i have posted screen shot of this a couple weeks ago and i have some new ones just haven't posted them yet. There on my photobucket. But hope in some way that helps.

Also do not use a task killer because it runs the battery down more then it helps u. I use a app called hot reboot witch take only a couple secs to restart my phone. Don't do it often but i have just when i want to. Plus i use a app call cache cleaner witch i got from mikfroyos rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Here are some new screen shots I just took some more and my 3d baseball game is addicting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
ok so maybe i should try kings 17 or ziggy. But i think there's something seriously wrong with the phone (or battery) at this point. The phone went from 100% to 4% in under 7 hours. I let it charge up a bit to 30% and in the space of 10 minutes or so it dropped down to 20%, and that was after i restarted it too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
if ur wanting good battery life kings kernels r the best for that. I'm using ziggys kernel only because of my games. I wish I could have speed like ziggys and battery like kings. But with kernels u get one or the other.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
did u read my post on the last page? that should help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] palmdude:
Yes, it is a serious suggestion
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrnamster:
Turning off 4G and Data roaming in Wireless & networks/Mobile networks and disabling some items in Accounts & sync has helped improved battery life for me, however, I don't think this is a rom/kernel specific issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
turning off auto sync, 4g, wifi, blue tooth, and location. does great but what the point of turning off the data? ok on wm turning off data helped alot but it makes no differents on android.

kernels have alot to do with with the battery life along with and setting u turn off as i said.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mrnamster:
To improve battery life even more if you're in a pickle. I usually keep it on unless I'm low on battery juice and away from a charger, like if I'm out on the slopes snowboarding.

I'll try King's kernels as you guys suggested, thanks.

EDIT: Looks like King's kernels are offline and his account deactivated :(

No #17 only goes too 998mhz
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
In that case I can understand that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
To me I say yes kings kernels has the best battery life but I can't speak for everyone cuz everyone has there own opinions. Yes u can use that profile 245/245 and calk all ready has a profile set like that for u. And running at 998mhz till 15% will calk's setting he has in the profiles. To me that's a battery drain. I added a couple profiles to lower the speed of the processor as the battery goes down so that it does not kill the battery.

I picked up a new HTC battery. Popped that one in, did the calibration and the battery lasted for 24 hours easily, and that was with BT turned on.

Been about 3 hours now since the phone was last charged and it's down to about 85% now. So i think either the other battery was bad, or maybe the battery data/stats were bad and it needed to be re-calibrated.

I also ordered a stand-alone charger for the battery from seido. So i'm going to use that the charge up the original battery and reset the stats again and see if it lasts any longer. If not then i think it'll be safe to say it was a bad battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
where'd this new one come from?
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
what is the difference between the kings BFS and CFS kernels? I looked at the thread on kingxklick but i didn't see anything explaining the difference.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrnamster:
You can do a Nandroid backup prior to installing the new market.

I have flashed Calk's black splash screen with other ROMs (Myn's) and it has stuck since with no need to reflash (since other ROMs don't have one). Unless you're talking about the big X splash screen. That one is sweet.

BFS #6 is working great for me! Excellent standby life with the screen off.

Makes me want to get an extra battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
well wait until i recharge the original battery, calibrate and reset the battery stats. after thinking about it, it seems strange that the battery would so drastically go bad so quickly. I would have expected it to gradually get worse. So once i charge up the original battery and reset the stats, i'll let you know if battery life improves or not.

Then again, an extra battery didn't cost that much - under $15 on amazon
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrnamster:
That's not bad for an OEM batt. I've always had extra batts for my previous HTCs since they're usually energy hogs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
That wasn't an oem battery it is an htc battery. figured an htc battery would be more reliable then an oem battery.

4g not working

Im fairly new to all this but my only problem is my 4g is not working at all. i will check it to turn on, it will sit and thing then turn its self off. does anyone know how i can fix that?

I have used a hand full of other roms and i must say good job on this one im loving it !!

switch kernels, means the kernel your on isnt playing nice with your rom and phone. with calcs rom i found nets universal 4.2.1 less smartass, 4.1.9.1 universal cfs and kings cfs the latest one works amazing with 4g on
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpinedac77:
Hey im a noob so please excuse any stupid questions. With the 1.53 version 4g connected for me. Was it supposed to connect and not get the actual 4g speed or the 4g wasnt supposed to connect at all.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
I have been using the kernel that came with the Rom which gives me unmatched battery life while the phone it is at sleep with the data on all the time. I can go about 3 hours on sleep mode with data on and loose no battery life at all!, BUT while the screen is on, it drops like a percentage or 2 by the minute!

So I have tried both 4.2.1 and 4.1.9.1 and did not get a good battery at all while sleeping.

But I have come to a conclusion that the batteries woes are related to some apps that are being used specially if restored by titanium backup. I was getting terrible battery results on this Rom and every other I tried lately. SETCPU seems to do nothing for me, so i just to go without it.

So, I flashed this Rom fresh/wiped and ONLY setup all my accounts (3 gmails, 1 exchange, weather-for once a day, and HTC Facebook sync and Google voice app-configured of course) and man, the battery issues were over!

I went over 29 hours use and over 4 hours of uptime on moderate use. Something I could never accomplish since I got the phone when it came out.

I have been adding my apps 1 each full charge and discharge to see which was causing the battery woes, but so far so good.

Hope that helps someone. Sorry for the long post too. :-)

EDIT: i forgot to say thank you for the suggestion, i will be trying those kernels too, maybe i will get better battery life with my new found method using better kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4redstars:
Do you use Switch Widget pro or any other widgets that toggle 4G? I had one with this rom and until I removed it's cache data I was getting major battery drain.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
I forgot to mention, i am using HTC sense. so i used the 4G toggle that comes with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sparhawk6:
Thanks. A workaround I guess, but there needs to be a fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
try another kernel

see quote above, it seems to fix it if you use another kernel. :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] sparhawk6:
Hmmm. I too am using the default kernal provided by Calc, but I guess I'll try other kernals.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sparhawk6:
Which one did you use?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
I'm testing...i like to wait a few days and keep testing to call judgement on it.

I would try 4.1.9.1 universal cfs, first...and so on.

[EVO 4G Android Development] theoner1:
This here is still one of my favorite rom to date. Other roms are fast at the beginning or after a reboot but started to slow down after a few days of use, according to my observation. But not this one, it is fast and smooth even after a long period of time. Thank you sir!!!

Can you provide download to the modded hosts for blocking ad but still able browse web site while on 4g just like the one in the 1.6.2 rom? Thanks in a million!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
I guess i should be careful of what i ask for - talk about an explanation! :)

So in a nutshell, it sounds like I should just pick one version, try it out and if not happy, try the other version and see which ones performs the best for my personal tastes, since from what i saw in the PDF, it seems the main difference in the two kernel versions is how they handle the cpu workload/task scheduling.

thanks for the link.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sparhawk6:
Wow, netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1-cfs-havs-universal-signed.zip really screwed up my phone. I had to flash back to a backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
you should always do a nand backup before u do anything anything (i'm am tesing baked snack #6 as of today, seems ok so far, but a little laggy).

you should try no havs version of kernel since those seem to work with almost any rom and hardware version of the phone. sorry to hear that, since it is annoying having to deal with bad kenels.( i had few of those with other kernels.).
[EVO 4G Android Development] sparhawk6:
Ugh. Now my phone is hung at the white "HTC EVO 4G" screen after I did a nand-restore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
always wipe before restore (that used to happen me until i started doing wipes).:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrnamster:
LOL yeah. I had the same question and was overwhelmed. Just try them all out and see what you like. They say BFS is better for devices with less (than 16) processors.

Don't forget to wipe the cache too! I do that every time and have had no issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i never wipe before restores. the worst that happens to me is the dots just keep going and going. i just do a battery pull if that happens, boot back into recovery and initiate the NAND restore again and all is good
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
like i said before, i used to do the same thing, and one day it just starting doing the same thing you are experiencing. Wipe and clear cache before anything. I use the Zip Calk created call FORMAT ALL (located here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ikylelx99c49133) which is the best thing to do BEFORE you install a new rom from factory default or restoring any nand backups. I read that clockworkmod recovery tool has issues sometimes wiping data/cache/etc (altought i never have had an issue)...

hope that helps...i'm sure it will if you use it. :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] sparhawk6:
Oops. Didn't wipe cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
I run AMON 1.7.0.2 still and don't have those issues. Glad it works for you and anything Calk does is top notch
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
Just a heads up, you DONT need to wipe data or cache when flashing a kernel...

hope that helps...:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
ha! i always wipe when applying kernels. it just goes to show we all have our habbits etc and there is more than one way to skin a cat
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
yeah, but your way would be optimum. It is always best to start fresh (at least that's the way i try to do all my setups, even when new roms come out, i always install from fresh...I guess i got used to it from the Windows Mobile flashing days! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
I dont think it was a bad battery. I'm guessing the battery stats on the phone got screwed up or something. I charged the original battery in the charger last night and right now the phone is saying it's down to 80% and that's after 3:15 hours unplugged. Which is about what i was getting before. That's with BT and sync turned on.

Guess if i want to get a full day out of a battery, i'm either going to have to live with BT off and remember to turn it on when i get in my car/off when i get out, or i'll have to try some other kernel.

Hey,

thinking of picking up a 2nd evo as a gift for someone. any problems with the white evo? i.e. can i install calk's rom on it and pretty much do everything that i've done with mine?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
I have heard there are issues with the white one and screen leakage etc
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
Would the latest hardware revision of the black one be less likely to have this issue? although i guess i can pick up the white one and if there's some hardware defect, return it for a black one.

I was more concerned that i'd be able to root/rom the phone in the same way i've done mine. I figure if there's a hardware defect, i can just swap the phone.

I was actually assuming the white and the black were the same hardware and just a different case. Guess it's a good thing i asked.
