I don't flame unless being flamed, and even then, I'm pretty passive...anyhow, thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a gander at previous posts, I was having a hard time believing I was the only one. This Rom is every possible form of kick ass, and I don't want to switch. I hope I could find a solution...

That's BS

[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
I am running Fresh 3.3, and get decent use of over 24 hours if I keep the WiFi Policy to goto sleep after 15 minutes.

My usage is which I have set my phone to contact any data apps when I need it rather then apps pushing data towards my phone automatically, and it works wonder for me.

Last night, phone went to sleep, and turned off the wifi after 15 minutes, and battery hardly showed any usage.

This is hardly scientific test, but everyone has to come up with their Android Optimization which works for them based on their usage.

I use Juicedefender and UltimateJuice to make my phone go dead between the hours of 1am-8am. I get 1% battery drain every 6 hours if my phone is not on the charger.

My phone is at 100% Running after going from 3.2 to 3.3. I did a full wipe and am now getting this issue.

I have been trying to read through this entire thread. I have been to Fresh's site and I have downloaded what I need to root the Evo and then to flash the latest Fresh Evo. I am getting my Evo today and I do have one question. Should I do any ota updates(PRI, PRL, firmware/software updates) before rooting and flashing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino0131:
Mine's been sleeping fine with any kernal ive used. Stock was sleeping fine, as well as netarchys, and kings #4, #6, and #9. Besides the normal recommended wiping, have you tried wiping battery stats?

[EVO 4G Android Development] wuclan48:
well you'd be wrong. I get over 24 hours on every charge with an average of 6 hours up time. That's mostly wifi and texting plus some 3g and phone calls. On weekends i can get 36 hours.

Edit: this is on 3.3 with the stock kernel. No setcpu/juicedefender/task killers.

Edit2: i'm currently at 76 percent battery with 5 hours unplugged and 2 hours up time, all of which was 3g, wifi, and music.

Thank you. I will continue troubleshooting the problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] maddogv6:
After i did my Fresh 3.3.0.1 update w/ new HTC kernel from Fresh 3.2, i too experienced less than 9 hrs worth of time. And that too with minimal usage (about using the phone for 1 hour in total that day making phone calls and checking mail here and there)

Someone suggested to Wipe the BatteryStat after you have fully recharged the phone (i did this through Amon RA recovery wipe option). Damn, what a difference! I just went through 2 days 3 hrs and still have 25% left.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
How bout some screenshots to prove it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE HIS STATED CLAIM .. wifi can be a night and day battery saver with great connection. if hes home most of the weekend and using wifi then i can see that ..

i was at buffalo wild wings and jumped onto their wifi while watching the football games and i dropped maybe 5% in 2 hours and i was texting and refreshing espn widget most of the time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
Im just saying how bout some screen shots to prove it. I have had some good hours on the phone but not with alot of uptime.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
True. Somehow when my phone sleeps at night, I have lost 13 to 15% charge when phone has no external data connection other then talking to tower for incoming voice call. Last night, I have only lost about 2% battery charge if I enable wifi policy to goto sleep after 15 minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gofer75:
I think it's quite funny how anytime someone states their experience with the ROM and it's battery life being great, that someone has to dispute what they are saying and ask for proof. Why is it necessary to have a picture to prove what many people are saying? If you read this blog regularly (as I have since I got my EVO on release day) then you will see that there are many things to do to improve your battery life to the levels that I and many others apparently have gotten to.

I am not trying to start a flaming war or get into any arguments with anyone, I am just saying that it is very much possible to get your battery life to be as good. For me personally, the method of charging fully (while off), then wiping battery stats and charging again til the green light comes on has been the best fix yet! I honestly got over 32 hours of moderate usage until I got to 15% battery. I don't have screenshots to "prove" anything, because I don't need to. I know what I got and I am just stating the facts that I have.

On another note, while I rarely post, I have been an avid flasher of ROMs since my Windows Mobile days and I couldn't wait to get my EVO to start with something new. These forums have taught me so much and I freaking love Fresh!!!!!

Congratuliations on never using your phone to make calls. Might as well get an iPad.
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Hey!!!!!! I just got 10 days on one charge!

Of course, I had the phone turned off 9 1/2 of those days.......

(LOL, sorry just HAD to say that as an attempt to LIGHTEN UP THINGS on here).

Sadly, all the "toys" on our EVO that makes it a totally fantastic phone, are also its Achilles heel as well. And yes, there are ways to help the battery last longer - but that means TURNING OFF every feature that made our phone so awesome.

I, for one, am not willing to do that. So, I just live with the EVO the way it is, and hope someday for a true fix. In the meantime, I have an extra Seidio 1750mah battery for long trips, and battery chargers for my car, at the coffee table by my couch, and one by my bed. No biggie. Besides, I am a weaker with "the need for speed". It don't matter if its my car (which I used to race in SCCA), my PC, or my phone, I WANT PERFORMANCE. So what if my car gets 1/4th the gas mileage of a Prius? At least I get there faster, and with a sh*t eating grin! And isn't that what matters anyway? We have in the EVO, a kick butt over the iPhone phone. Finally at last, I don't have to hide from the cult of Steve Jobs! And come on now folks, don't bash ANY dev! It is their custom work that helps attribute to the EVO being better than any fruit phone!

As for the battery life, just how bad is the EVO compared to the iPhone?????? I never see that mentioned. Hell, they can't even remove their battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ailima:
I had this problem too, also with a Jawbone Icon. It was not the case with my two other bluetooth headsets ... however it was easily fixed by going into

1) settings->wireless->bluetooth settings

2) long pressingj on Jawbone ICON

3) unpair

and then I went through the whole repair/reconnect again

1) turn off off the headset

2) hold the call button and turn on until the red/white flashing LED

3) settings->wireless->bluetooth settings->Scan for devices

4) choose Jawbone ICON

5) click on Jawbone ICON in bluetooth devices to connect for the first time
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
i understand - but the consensus i feel is that if you want your phone to last - let is sleep (basically have a slow day)

if i actually use the phone to its entirety ... i average 12-14hours with android battery use at 40% or above :)

No Data connection recently

Hello, I am having a problem with my data connection. I live in MPLS and in the last week or so 4G has become active, that works great and wifi is fine. I went out of this weekend and now realize I have no data connection with out 4G or Wifi. So I am not exactly sure which update/kernal change might have caused the problem.

Fresh 3.3.0.1 with CFS #10 = no 3G Data

I tried backing it up and Cache/Davlik wiping

I tried BFS #7 no 3G Data

I tried Netarch 4.19 still no 3G Data

I tried cache/Davlik wiping and reinstalled Fresh 3.3.0.1 still no 3G Data

I am trying to avoid a full data wipe, I have tried searching the forum both under the specific kernel threads and here in the fresh thread and i haven't found anything really helpful.

Thanks for any help its much appreciated!

Update: Yes i use SetCPU

are you using switchpro or setcpu?

[EVO 4G Android Development] igotsthemagicinme:
hey guys i just had a few questions :)

is it possible to have more than 6 recent apps like in cyanogen? i found this to be a lifesaver in some instances.

(not directly related to this rom) what are the right side leds for? for the life of me i have never even seen them blink!

hm. my setup, icyww

fresh-jsROSIEmod(mms)-smoothmod-stock kernel. what kernel do most people use with fresh?

EDIT: forgot one hehe. i noticed that the window transitions only take place when using another launcher other than sense. is this intended, and is there any work around?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ingenue007:
ok guys i had terrible battery life off this fresh 3.3.0.1 install. here is what i did to greatly extend my battery life. i know the limitations of this phone, but if i can go through my whole work day and get home and have power till the end of the night, i am good.

here are the biggest helps for me:

1. setcpu with min at 245. make sure you enable the profile for screen off

2. turn off haptic feedback

3. turn off 'data always on for mobile network' or something similar. i have no probs with gmail, facebook etc.

i've left wifi and location on most of the day too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Yager:
I use SetCPU
[EVO 4G Android Development] atoy74:
lol. Yes, I love the battery pissing contests that some people want to get in to. The truth is battery life is poor when you use the device as intended. Thats bluetooth and gps enabled, making phone calls and texting.

On Fresh 3.2 (and any other ROM based on the leak) I saw excellent battery life using the phone as i always do. ...AND not just myself, many on these forums as well as people I know locally with EVO's.

All ROMs based on the latest official have shown poor battery performance. Maybe some people dont mind setting up SetCPU/Juicedefender/Tasker/Locale profiles to disable this or that over night but I like a simpler life.

since i can't search the thread for *2 b/c it's too short....

[EVO 4G Android Development] autoprime:
ive been very pleased with battery life on the newest rom. im used to flashing custom kernels and trying different rom combos.. sometimes getting pretty good battery life.. but this rom is by far the best on battery life.

havent had the need to run setcpu on this install. i have tweetdeck checking for updates every 15min(used to having this completely disabled on my epic.. and on the evo i used to set it to 30min updates). sync on.. data always on. and yes i use my phone quite a bit. ive had the same battery issues others have had prior to this.. but idk what changed after this flash.. but its great.

i had very fast drain for the first 15%.. and after that. it slowed to about a 4% drain an hour with average use. im very pleased with my evo at this point. i'd still like to get one of those $10 batteries on ebay as a backup.. but i no longer feel as if i have to not use my phone as much to get thru a day.

i hear the newest epic update solves some major battery issues too.. cant wait to try that out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotsthemagicinme:
just wanted to concur with the first % slipping fast. my workaround is charging to max, then NOT TOUCHING IT for about 20 minutes. youll lose 5-7% still, but itll stick :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckyholmes69:
update on battery. still not as good as fresh 3.2/netarchy combo. after trying out several combinations kings 8 gave the best life, but other aspects of the phone became glitchy and laggy. so far with netarchy 4.1.9.1 cfs on fresh 3.3 this is not bad. no where near what i first mentioned, but with heavy use i get about 10 hours of life probably can push it close to 11 hours. when i mean heavy i am talking about tons of text, 4g, hours of websurfing/youtubing, wifi, and checking sports scores every other couple of minutes. with light use at this very moment i am 7 hours 35 minutes at 73% battery life and i sent maybe 10 text so far and probably looked at 1 or 2 websites. i guess it all depends on what you are trying to do and what kernel works for you. i am a heavy user (just not today because i had class and exam to worry about) and with the combo i first mentioned i got around 13 hours with heavy use with about 17% left, so if i can get 11 hours with this after heavy use i cant complain. so use what works for you, will work for some and wont work for most. obviously i am not gonna believe the guy that hasnt plugged in for over 3 days and probably never touched the phone to even use it. i get better information from people that actually use the damm phone.

Aside from the battery discussion, any answers to the above before I power up and activate my new Evo? ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
To all the ppl trying to save battery life sooo much why? I dont understand why ppl post the screenshots of there device working for "2-3" days w/o charge. I understand you turn off wifi, gps, and turn off sync for other stuff on longer incriments.. Whats the point? Might as well use it as a paperweight. Im sorry if I come out rude but I leave everything on for me except 4G and wifi. Whats the point in purchasing a $400 phone when you dont use ANYTHING on it besides rooting it... I dont know... I had a bad day today so sorry in advance. Just buy an extended battery.... Thats what I did. To the ppl lasting 2-3 days... I call BS or you just dont use your phone at all. I dont see how all these ppl can get 2-3 days on one charge. I use my phone quite a bit and last on avg a full day if not day and a half. Now if I dont make calls then ya I get longer life. But its kinda annoying ppl saying they get 2-4 days on a single charge and when you look at the SS all they used was 4-6% google maps... Wheres the phone use and other info?? I mean if I really wanted to I guess I could use my lan line to save battery life and take a ss of my evo when I have 3 days no charge... Just irritated and venting. Sorry... If you delete this post admins I understand. Just pissy about the post and ss these ppl are taking that are inacurrate at most.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wuclan48:
1. I was asked for a screen shot so I delivered them.

2. Those screen shots are from my average usage, which I stated includes phone/text/gps and I tend to use wifi much more than 3g and 4g (and that it's a huge factor in my battery life).

3. I never use my phone (or don't use it) in an attempt to save the battery. What you see reflects my actual usage.

4. I have all syncing on.

5. I turn whatever i'm using off when i'm done (other than gps)

6. I wiped my battery stats after flashing this rom, and did two full charges and draw downs. I believe this made a difference.

7. I'm sorry you had a bad day

great battery life

No, you shouldn't need to do any OTA before you begin flashing, best of luck to ya...its not all that complicated, feel free to pm me w/ any questions.

The only thing i use is setpcu to disable perflock and leave it at the min max settings. I don't have anything else downloaded and the battery drains normally when the phone is in use and almost not at all when not in use and i have everything turned on, 4g, gps, all that shiznit. so if ur battery is effin up post all your software info...here's a screen of mine
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Thx for the reply. Just curious what rom and kernel are you using? I have tried quite a few and only good one so far kernel wise is cfs 9. Im on fresh's ROM and I like the setup but if there is something better please let me know. I did as well wipe battery stats and did 3 full charges and discharges as well as following "HTC's rec battery tips" or whatever its called at goodandevo.net when they had it posted. Maybe my battery is turning to crap... But I do use the phone alot and get at least a full days chage on my ext battery if not day and a half. Any suggestions. Thx again and thx for listening to me vent.

side note: what should the "Android System" in battery stats should be about avg after no use overnight? Lately I have noticed close to 30-45% for me with no use and seems kinda odd to me. Maybe an app of mine draining battery faster then normal?

Sorry for the newbie question, hope you don't mind answering. I saw you told this other person the PRI was old, I didn't see anything when installing this ROM that told me when / how to update it. My battery is lame too, hoping maybe a new PRI will help me but don't know where to start.

Well I have a problem here. The evo I have came with the latest software installed which is Android 2.2, Kernel 2.6.32.15, software number 3.26.651.6. I follow the instructions found here: http://geekfor.me/faq/how-to-root-your-evo-4g/#more-1414

I get the white hboot screen and it says:

Checking..[PC36IMG.zip]

Then it says:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

At this point it is not rooted and the adb reboot recovery command will not work. What do I do now? Do I need to follow these instructions from the wiki on rooting 2.2?

If you're using HTC widget clock with Vanilla lock, you have to reopen the HTC clock and manually disable the alarm from in there.

You can't use the HTC widget clock with the Vanilla lock screen. You have to download another clock/alarm widget (like Beautiful Widget) to set alarms if you want to be able to disable the alarms from the Vanilla lock screen.

This is a known issue. One way around it is to install the vanilla clock and uninstall the htc world clock. You can do this via Fresh Updater. Look under tweaks and download the one that says vanilla lock - world clock + vanilla apps. This will also install the vanilla music player and the vanilla gallery.
