[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamknuckle:
It also depends on how they are defining a day and a half. Are they talking about 36 hours of usage without being on a charger? I don't know many phones that can do that. Hell, I don't know anything electronic that could go 36 hours without some sort of power/fuel.

If they are talking about an 8 hour shift one day, then going home to bed, then waking up and going to work, and making it through another 4 hour shift, I can believe that. If they don't touch the phone hardly at all between the two work shifts (as I usually don't when I'm at home), I can see that.

My Evo on Fresh 3.2 only dropped 20% last night, as I left it in the living room when I went to bed and forgot to charge it. It was at 40% when I woke up, and I'd venture to say that under normal usage, I could get another 4 hours out of it when it's at 40%.

I also have netarchys 4.1.9 kernel, and setcpu set to set the processor to 245 mhz when the screen is off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikeIII:
Ok, so i tried completely wiping device cleared all cache and installed minimal apps. I will see how goes. The funny thing is that I took it off the charger around 5pm and when I looked at my battery status it says it's only been 53miin since unplugged and I'm already down to 68% of battery left. :confused: what's the deal? Maybe I have a bum battery already. Who knows. I'm going to drain it all the way down and see if that makes any diff.

EDIT: ok, I just realized that the timer reset after I rebooted my device. I forgot that it does that. Also I just wanted ton add that I did not do any type of restore from a backup program.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droga:
How is your signal strength where you are?? Having a weak signal will DESTROY your battery (trust me my battery goes down more than 10%/hr in a ****ty signal area but when I get to a good signal area it barely drops 3-4% (and this with bluetooth streaming music the whole hour)).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_hustleman:
ok today I reflashed the phone, didn't install any apps, went to work, had my phone on airplane mode for a while because signal strength SUCKS at my job so it drains my battery very quickly, but I ended up getting only 10 hours out of the battery before I had to switch.

I didn't install ANYTHING and still the same results.

I'm convinced, the EVO just doesn't have great battery life that people claim, it's decent for a smartphone, but nothing spectacular AT ALL!

ok, see no one told me this part.

I've just read many times that if you've flashed a lot of roms, you should wipe the battery stats

same here, I'm using a stock battery (have an extended life battery on the way) and there's no noticeable change in my battery life

yeah, I'll read where someone says "I get 48 hours with moderate use!" but when you find out what they did, a couple of THREE MINUTE PHONE CALLS and a few texts, MAYBE 5 minutes of web surfing, that's it. in 2 days that's all they did with their EVO - and then I think WTF IS THE POINT?!?!? Why would you spend 200 dollars on an EVO when you could have gotten a HERO for 30 bucks that does all those things you did in that 48 hours?

that sounds interesting, but how much is it?

I agree, either

A) me, my fiancé, my cousin, my 3 friends with EVO's ALL have defective units

B) the people who claim "moderate" usage are REALLY only having extremely light, barely any usage

or

C) these people are just telling boldface lies.

I've said this before on sprintusers and people argued with me all day saying I'M lying, but when you look at their screen shots showing this type of time, I poke holes all through their arguments, I've seen one where the poster claimed to have made a total of 40 minutes of calls, but there was no indication of voice calls in his screen shot, and android system only took up about 18% of the battery with cell idle and standby taking up the bulk of the juice. That alone tells you that the phone isn't doing anything and isn't being used.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_hustleman:
when I'm at work signal strength SUCKS, so I keep the phone on airplane mode

when I'm home however, signal strength fluctuates between 3 and full bars
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindakrazy:
First off grab baked snack or CM6 both these roms have given me the best battery life of all time, then grab juice defender and setcpu, make sure everything is wiped and you are not restoring any apps that might potentially eat your battery, set setcpu to 245 when screen is off and let juice defender set up its own settings.

Just with this i had my phone off a charger for 16 hours straight and am only now at 50% this is with regular use for me which means on average texting all day (i am 17 its what i do XD ) a few brief phone calls and maybe an hour worth of data/wifi usage

there must be an app doing this because i had the same problem as you on baked snack even until i wiped everything and started new.

Currently im running cm6 and during my first few hours of school i wont touch my phone at all and it will maybe...mayyyybe drop 4-5 percent

Hope this helped anyway :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_hustleman:
Baked Snack was the rom I last used, I just switched from their to fresh, I've tried damaged goods, baked snacks, I didn't and won't use CM6 because there's no htc sense and 4g is screwed up, so that's out the window
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuCkyCn:
You can try VaelPak "NonSense Rom" it comes with kingkernal BF8 I believe. Im currently using that rom and the battery life lasted a good 13 hours or so on heavy use (4g on most of the day/ I text a lot/ Youtube most of the day and used TuneInRadio as well). My Set CPU profile is set to 245mhz min and max at 100% priority when screen is off.

But my brother on the other hand is using Evio2 rom and currently the battery life is at 82 perfect and 16 hours up time since last plugged in. He text all day but thats all he does...

Those are the 2 roms that I've actually experimented with (battery wise)

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
For me battery life has always been close to the same with most ROM's I run but sometimes I do run into one that has a drain or what not..

You have to love the reports of people getting 2 days blah blah..

Urban myth to me! When I want to get two days out of my battery I just set my phone on my computer desk and come back two days later and BAM two days battery life...

I believe that 'moderate' use is somewhat like what women think is 'average' size. In other words moderate to heavy use in reality is really "I didnt use my phone much so I could report these awesome battery stats"

There isn't a person on this planet that is going to use my EVO like I do and get a day and half out of my battery. I dont care who you are or what magically tricks you have up your sleeve.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydeaner:
The "magically tricks" could just be good processor speed/voltage management.

I set 5 profiles in setcpu. I will show them once i get my replacement evo today.

Using netarchy 4.1.8 with heavy usage i get a full 16 hours of actual heavy usage out of it. I wake up at 4 in the morning, work from 5-2 which most of the time i am on the phone on the internet over wifi or watching streaming videos over the wifi. from 2-4 i take a nap and then 4-10pm i am on the phone using it heavily again.until 10pm, and then i charge when i go to sleep at 10.

Make no mistake, when i am on the phone it is very heavy usage. Streaming movies from my orb server at home to the phone so i have entertainment at work, watching streaming flash videos from various internet sites.... we won't get into the details lol. Playing angry birds, paper airplane, trash ball toss or whatever it's called. Screen at 100 percent while i am on it. Every time i have to put it down and deal with a customer i hit the power button so the screen sleeps (and the processor dies down to 245mhz).

With average persons txt messaging, and actually having to work and everything else i can easily see how 2 days could happen easily.

Oh yeah and I run Vaelpak 2.0 rom. And at 10pm it is usually at 10 percent battery and it is screaming at me lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
So you use your phone heavy and don't get 2 days battery life? Same here! See we agree..

I use setcpu and all that jazz..Like I said I 'know' I use my phone heavy cause I'm the one using it and nobody will get 2 days of battery life using my phone the way I use my phone no matter what magical tricks they have up their sleeves.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
I get about the same 12-14 hours of use. I also use mine truly heavily. If you can get this amount of time out of your phone with actual use i would say you should stop tweaking and leave it. No tweak, rom change, magic voodoo dance, Apache smoke ceremony, or even living sacrifice is going to make it get 3x more life with your use. It is as much as you should expect. I mean why do you need your phone to go more then a full day with out charging. Why would you not charge it while you are sleeping?

The system monitor app i believe is 1.99$ i think it is worth it has helped me out a bit if i had to find an app draining battery or using a lot of CPU (it i how i identified when IQFD was forcing my phone to 100% cpu a while back). its a pretty nice little app to have for troubleshooting and answers a lot of the questions where people go ... i have this app and it lagged me and and i think it drained my battery, i did uninstall like 5 apps but i think it was this one can anyone confirm? .. you wont have to be one of them cause yuo will know you will be able to see it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikeIII:
so, since unplugging my phone after leaving work at 5pm yesterday i've done some web surfing, downloaded some apps from the market, used bluetooth to listen to music for two hours at the gym, read some news feeds for about an hour and made quite a few phone calls. I didn't put it in the charger when i went to sleep and when i woke up i used google maps and gps to get my location this morning, made a few phone calls and now my battery just drained down to 0 as i type this and the phone shut down. So about 15 hours of battery use is pretty good improvement from using the stock unrooted ROM.

Oh yeah, i should add that i just rooted my phone for the first time when they released the root for stock Froyo 2.2 a week ago and the Fresh ROMs are the only ones I've used so far. So, I'm pretty happy right now with the improved performance of this ROM. hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
so far seems that most people posting that use the phone are getting 13-16 hours of usage. much more realsitic gauge for you OP then the day and a half -2 days 30-50 hour some people exagerate about.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianBusby2038:
Yep System Monitor,the said version works great.I'm running Fresh 3.1.0.1 and Netarchy 4.1.8bfs and battery life is right in line wither the rest of you guys,about 12 hours or so of what I consider heavy use.Just plug it in before bed and always good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
I get four at most. But I'm on it all the way through the four hours. I get bored... :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_hustleman:
Umm, that's not 15 hours of use, you indicated that you slept, so that's hours you're not using it, I don't know how long you slept but if I assume the standard 8 hours, then that's only 7 hours of use.

Ok so I've been having some freezes these days , espically when I want to open an app , sometimes , after a while everything I tried to open opens at once. And when I soft reset , It boots up at stays stuck at the windows screen sometimes it continues , sometimes I have to pull out the battery and leave it a bit then restart it again.

It also gets very hot when it's stuck on the orange windows screen.

I didn't have this problem before , not even freezes the that , I've done a couple of hard resets before maybe 2 or 3.

its a widget for pre-set profiles, im guessing you set the rules for how you want the phone to behave, for example 100%ringer 25%media no vibrate or no ringer 100%media vibrate silent notifications and the widget just sets the profile

[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
considering the number of devices sold, we'll probably get 3.0
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
Gingerbread would be great and a good pr move on the part of samsung. My expectation is low though simply because they will want people to buy new phones. Gingerbread will be an easy upgrade too because out would be vanilla with touchwiz and widgets being addons. The Tab has similar hardware and it may get it, making a custom ROM likely.

[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Partly OT, but I didn't want to start a new thread as this is kinda related to original post.

For rooted vibrant users what is the best option to get froyo

- Unroot, remove root-required apps and then download OTA update

- keep rooted and root apps when downloading OTA update

- do not accept OTA and flash a custom froyo rom
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
I say #3... or option C... the last one. Usually these guys knock this stuff out in a couple days and either clean it up a little or incorporate more to it... Im thinking with the release of 2.2 you will see a lot more come to light, or at least we can all hope so.
