True Story

Last night I got home pissed off at my Evo's battery performance(or lack of). I started looking at the 3500mha batteries. I was mad and *****in about the dam thing. Then, right before ordering a new 3500mha, I found this thread. Initially when reading the first post it was confusing so kept reading on. By the 3rd post I started laughing, by page 3 I was laughing so hard my wife started looking at me weird. By page 7 I could barely hold my phone up to keep reading. You made my day(or at least the night) HondaCop.

Tenia que venir otro K-bron boricua a hacerme reir como un mamao. !!Que viva Puelto Rrrrico pu-ñeta!!!!!

So I want to help the development of this great discovery and create the very first(or 2nd) official No battery drain Rom for the enjoyment of the community. I will put together all the great work of the people contributing on this thread in 1 single Rom. I will call it "FUHTC-NODRAIN" Beta XXXX1. Will be built from the ground up(literraly). I am currently looking for beta testers. Will also have an idiot proof page with all the step by step instructions.

Download: FUHTC-NODRAIN-XXX1-Beta

disclaimer: I have no programming experience, my life time computer time is less then 100 hours(1 of them reading this thread) and I have never eeever come near a custom ROM(BS!). So use at your own risk.:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] energizer1389:
Wow, the mirror app is awesome. Ive stared at it for 60 consecutive minutes and still no battery drain. Who ever developed this should go work with HTC. I will include it in the "FUHTC-NODRAIN" Beta XXXX1 Rom.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Link?

I took the day off today so I could try out your rom and maybe help with troubleshooting.

Please post the link soon, I don't want to have wasted a whole vacation day for nothing!
[EVO 4G General] energizer1389:
I found a way to root 2.2 OTA update. And it works awesome with all the NODRAIN Roms. Here are step by step instructions:

Get a disposable cup. 16oz preferred (Evo is big)

Pour in some soil. Miracle growth preffered.

Sit your Evo over the soil with at least 25% of the body in the soil.

Water it at least 2 times a day for about 2 weeks. Filtered water please.

Update(Thanks Nebenezer):Stick some toothpicks on the sides of the Evo to avoid it sinking deeper while watering.

If you follow these simple instructions you will have not only 1 but several roots. If you have a NODRAIN Rom you should have 100% battery during the whole 2 weeks process. You can also enjoy the mirror app during the process but only if you have it installed in the phone and not the sd card.:D

Download: FUHTC-NODRAIN-XXXX1-Beta.zip
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Cool, thanks :)

Also, you forgot a step in your rooting procedure. I had to stick toothpicks in my evo to make sure only 25% of it was in the soil, otherwise it kept sinking down every time I watered it.

I charge my phone up to 99% then unplug. Works for me.
[EVO 4G General] energizer1389:
Ah, I suggest you read this whole thread. Believe me when I say you will be amazed.
[EVO 4G General] mgraham361:
You're losing the advantage of having 100%. Follow the steps of the OP and you'll get 100% battery charge 100% of the time. It doesn't get any better than that. Simple math tells me that's better than your 99% method.
[EVO 4G General] 00_MACKIE_00:
Ok so I have found another small issue. When I leave my Evo off, the backlight doesn't work? Will this be fixed in the next version?
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Looking into it, but I'm afraid it's not as simple as one wishes. I can see conflicts with the mirror app.
[EVO 4G General] energizer1389:
I was thinking, is it possible to turn the mirror from the mirror app slightly so the sun's light can be reflected into the battery so we could potentially charge the battery while in the mirror app without being connected to the wall???.

This would be huge. We could potentially reach 200% charge.:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] darkcovers:
I'm unable to update my PRL to the newest update with this method.

Can you fix that in your next update because I'm getting really bad service in my area lately.

I tried to nandroid backup, but realized I've lost the ability to do almost anything with my phone. I can't mount my sdcard. I can't go into recovery. My touchscreen is unresponsive.

It's almost worth it for the battery life, but if you could just fix a few things I think this could be my daily driver.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I just wanted to bring this valuable battery optimizing thread back to the first page now that we have root for the 2.2 OTA.

I'm sure there will be plenty of people happy to find this now that they have root, you know, because you need root to use this method..
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
And to the pleasure of someone around here today, this method is CHARGING PORT FRIENDLY!
[EVO 4G General] gmanvbva:
I'm getting the same thing...

Is this compatible with HAVS? :confused:

EDIT: BTW my camera is stuck at 0MP????

HELP!!!!
[EVO 4G General] Crotchety:
So like...anyone besides me lose their PRI 1.40 after trying this method?:confused:
[EVO 4G General] 00_MACKIE_00:
I just wanted to report another issue, my weather doesn't appear to be updating, its kinda hard to tell with this hack applied but I was not notified it was raining last night. Oh well, maybe I will go back to stock.

[EVO 4G General] bomix:
Humm.. This worked on my wife's motorola phone also.. so not just Evo's... interesting find!
[EVO 4G General] energizer1389:
I just received an email from HTC's lawyers stating that we should restrain from pursuing this method. They claim that this method makes them look bad and they are unable to recreate it. They have shown inability to produce power efficient devices. I have to sadly announce that effective today I will not pursue the development of FUHTC 100% no drain Rom until my lawyers discuss some type of agreement with HTC.

They did not mention anything about the mirror app so I guess who ever developed it should be fine.
[EVO 4G General] hyphymikey:

[EVO 4G General] Bob in Northern NJ:
First let me state that I absolutely LOVE the humor, irony, and sarcasm in your post. Having said that....Can you help out a noobie? Just exactly what are the steps necessary to turn off the phone after charging it? I would love to have 100% battery charge in the AM! The only way I am able to currently achieve this is to hook my phone up to the charger overnight. Since I am running ClockworkMod, I have to leave the phone on in sleep mode because if you turn the phone off and hook up the charger it boots into ClockworkMod recovery menu.
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
I'm uncomfortable with manually applying these methods. Is there an app or patch to automatically shut off, and restart my evo?

Can I get an evo clock dock, at the phone store?
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
My phone actually puts power back on the grid. I'm running my entire house off my evo and I even get a check back from the electrivty company every month. lolz
[EVO 4G General] newter55:
I own a captivate and an evo..i know I just could not make up my mind and hate money...but I get service pretty much everywhere between the two and when I use mobile ap I connect my laptop to both networks and get 7g service with an app I created that requires burning multiple twenty dollar bills each month....not in rc status yet so I cannot upload a link at this time

Anyway, this no battery drain method works amazingly well and would like to know if I may port this to my captivate and pass it along to the battery whining crowd in that forum...as an added benefit, gps seems to work just as well as stock with this applied with no further kernel modification necessary on the captivate.

btw...thanks for bumping this one I would never have discovered this old thread

?? Tannerite ?? hahah

You know I was wondering the same thing! How can I get my phone to shut down faster! After-all with our phones, we need ALL the battery we can get....

Then... I found the solution.... In Home Depot of all places!!!!

Stanley makes an external tool that's AMAZING! The phone-god's in Home Depot seem to call it.... A hammer, I think??? I dont remember exactly, but I can tell you this much.... Once i got the Mod applied correctly... I've NEVER seen a phone shut down so fast in my life! It's AMAZING!

It did take a bit of work on my part, but I finally got it applied!!! Instructions are simple enough..

With mild force, tap the... ?hammer? against the exterior of the phone.... and repeat until the phone turns itself off... Once it shuts down, you've successfully applied the battery mod!

I'm not real sure how it works.. I'm not an engineer, so couldn't tell you, but it was explained to me as having something to do with the kinetic energy... or was it magnetic energy? It's electrical, so it must be magnetic... yeah... thats it. Magnetic Energy...

My problem now... Boot time has increased TREMENDOUSLY! I swear, I think I've pressed the power-on button at least a dozen times now! It's been 10 HOURS!!!! I know the Evo's have long boot times, but it should have booted by now, right?

Update...

after careful examination it appears that I'm now stuck in a boot loop!

My WiMax light lights up, but the damn phone appears to be in a boot loop! After the WiMax light goes out, all I see is the boot-screen!! I don't know exactly... but the new rom I loaded just before applying the ?hammer? battery mod, apparently has a really nifty boot screen to it!! I makes the screen look like its badly cracked!!! I don't know who the graphics designer is that made this, but DANG! He REALLY knows how to make it look 3D!!

How do I get into recovery so I can do a Nand-restore if I can't get past the boot-screen?

Should I take my phone in to Sprint and have them look at it?

hey guys, I'm a newbie and I have a problem that really irritates me, I have bought an old X1 running windows mobile 6.1 German, I wish to install an English or a French OS, the problem is that my USB cable just don't work, I've tried several others on many pcs, still having the same problem, isn't there a way to install HardSPL without using the USB cable? another question; is it really necessary to install HardSPL if I want to install an original SonyEricsson's ROM, please answer me, I just don't understand a word of german language, thank you, please.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebigakure:
u dont have to hardspl if using original rom. but u still need a working usb cable. how can u install without a cable? OTA?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR KH:
i was thinking of the memory card method.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
Why not using USB Cable, though the fake one is not expensive.

You can also salvage from your other gadget, mine Ext. HDD

Do u insist using Storage Card?

Okay, I'm not sure if it will work or might destroy your X1.

When you doubled click (Execute) the HardSPL you'll found "RUU_Signed.nbh" extracted. Maybe you can place that "RUU_Signed.nbh" to Storage card. And then execute bootloader, like flashing ROM.

*Notice* It's only my idea. I have no guarantee about this because I've never done this.

Maybe you can PM the expert (the creator of that HardSPL) first.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dna_voluntatis:
U just get an error when installing hardSPL?? I think your computer USB got a missunderstanding or uncompitibility with another USB driver, maybe u should to install a new fresh computer with USB 2 installed, then try this to hardSPL your X1, worked on me, hehehe
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny4911:
DO NOT try and install hard=spl via sd card

it WILL fail and you could breaak your phone blah blah!

well, i've solved my problem guys, thanks. I've just bought a fake usb cable.
[EVO 4G General] jdh012400:
I know one of the major concerns regarding the EVO has been the battery life. It was the reason that I rooted my phone in the first place, granting me the ability to rip out bloatware to conserve battery life. It wasn't until Saturday that I got around to noticing the rooted version of the official 2.2 release. All I did was download the ROM and delete all the apks/odexes I didn't want from the zip file, load it, charge my battery. Currently, I've been going almost 70 hours and am still at 60% battery life under normal use. That's a significant increase. The best I ever got was after the rooted second OTA at about 40 hours pushing the battery down to about 10%. Have other people been seeing battery life increases like this?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
No, we have not. Quit bragging.. ;)
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Serious? Experiment with more use of battery life
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
I have noticed better battery life but not as good as you say. I've tried many different roms and kernels also.
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
do you actually use your phone on a daily basis? do you have any emails being synched? gmail? exchange? do you use facebook? browse the internet every 4-6 hours to see whats news on BGR or usatoday/cnn? do you text msg.. etc etc

if i leave my phone sitting i can have great battery life too, don't get me wrong i'm not trying to bash you, just trying to understand how you use phone so i can guage if this can apply to me. i know people who haven't installed one single app on their evo yet, usuage is different for everyone.....
[EVO 4G General] bullshark_the_real:
Did you say 70 hours? Is that a typo? That's 2.916666666666666666666667 days and you've only dropped 40% battery life?
[EVO 4G General] bisby:
I was super nervous when I suggested the evo to my aunt's family over the iphone 4. AT&T doesn't even have 3g where they live though. Asked them if they had any battery issues with their 4 evo's and they looked me like I was crazy. Then I found out that they all only had like 1 app installed. They get great battery life on their stock 2.2 phones. If I play around with my phone, and I do, I usually am riding the red line by the end of the day.
[EVO 4G General] jdh012400:
I don't use my phone that much for phone calls, actually. Several hundred texts a month, several megs of data a month. It's synched with gmail, I have a separate phone for everything else (work). At work I'm always on 3G, at home wifi. The only time it's not actively connected to a network is when I'm sleeping (sleep profile is only for the alarm). Outside of synching, I use the internet for random browsing periodically, usually sports related, or anytime I'm not at home or work and want information.

When I put this ROM on, I stripped out over 60 files from the zip file (almost 20megs) and only installed about 8 apps that I use regularly. After I configure my phone for all my settings, I remove all the widgets everywhere and setup just three screens with my widgets.

Even though I'm in Dallas, I rarely use 4G (the higher wavelength doesn't penetrate well in the urban areas I work or live in), only turn on GPS when I'm using Google Maps to drive around, and never have both wifi and 3G (Mobile) on simultaneously. I have my profiles setup so that the only time my screen brightness is above 0 is when I'm in my car or on a need basis (separate Bright profile).

I probably would have rooted my phone eventually but I did it about the third day I owned it because of the battery life. Most of the settings and ways I use the phone revolve around making sure I don't tax the battery. My real goal was being able to leave home for more than a day and not having to worry about minimizing my usage of anything, and now it seems I've easily done that.

Hi

I currently have a 200meg per month plan, in NZ we dont have the beauty of massive data plans. Anyway this has been fine for the past 4 months of my N1 but lately as I keep upgrading ROMs I seem to be using more and more.

For some reason on RoDrIgUeZsTyLe ROM I was geting random 40meg blocks for no reason which stuck out when I was only averaging 5 to 10meg per day. I am now on Cyanogen RC3 and still get the odd 5 to 10 meg block.

Just last night I turned everything off, email, twitter, facebook and so on and still I downloaded 3meg and uploaded 3meg using 6 meg of my usage according to 3G Watchdog. Looking in spare parts / batery history / networkwork usage apparently nothing displayed in there used it.

Is there any other app that can tell me what is using my data?

Thanks

Hello All

firstly, thank you to every person who already knows how to do the following. i love the work you do, keep it coming.

i was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of how to make custom ROMS for HTC Desire.

every rom i seem to download always have loads of stuff thats great but always missing one or two things that i cant live without from the stock rom, so i want to take a look see if i can work it out.

any reading material you have would be great.

thank in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daelyn:
First of all, there is a little box on top called search. You where notified about that one when you signed up.

If you plan to publish your ROM/ROM's here, to cut it short do this;

There is a forum section called Chef Central. Read the sticky "Some Advice" in that forum. Then read the sticky on top of Desire Development. Then get begin modding the other ROM's available, so you get a hang of how they work. Then, cook away and test thoroughly.

For example can i use winmo for an hour then switch to android?

Will i brick my phone?

Any tips will be appreciated!

I cant help because I have no interest in android, - im pretty sure you cant brick your phone with android though......
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
Before you do make sure you do a backup just in case. It will run directly from your storage card but you can switch between the two whenever you like. There are useful threads on xda which should make it easier for you .

Pocketnow.com have a video on how to run froyo on the hd2-Check it out!

Don't be nervous you can brick your phone by installing the wrong radio/rom but the android port is a pretty safe bet.. Good luck

Okay I have been looking since before launch and havent found anything that came close to what I wanted until now. I purchased the SlipGrip from ebay and I love it. I got the one that said it was for the platnium case and it works great with my innocaseII. The mount is sturdy, the swivel is very adjustable and the thing mounted just right so that I can use AR apps like Layer and it offers a nice typing surface right next to where my hand is on the wheel ;)

Here is the link to what I got -
