[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ferrari0788:
My battery life is very inconsistent lately. Yesterday my phone lasted all day while doing more then I usually do. I used WiFi, texting, calling, browsing and even streamed NFL Sunday Ticket for more than using 3G/HSPA+ and the phone lasted all day from morning until I was ready for bed. I should also mention that auto sync and background data was also on. Today I barely used the phone and my battery was at 20% from 8am to 12pm.

I'm using setCPU and AutoKiller.

mattc 1.7 RMNET

radio 2.12

WINMO Energy Rom

Is anyone else having issues like this, with the inconsistent battery life? Any ideas on what I should try?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Yes there's a thread on the android developers forum where everyone is trying different things to lower the battery usage.
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
first off, i love this phone. no joke, but the battery is well...laughable to say the least. on my HD2 running android, i get double the battery life and they HD2's battery is a 1200 battery, the EVO'S is a 1500. and android boots off the SD CARD and has NO POWER MANAGEMENT on HD2'S. my evo dropped to 54 percent battery today in 3.5 hours. no wifi, no bluetooth, no GPS and no 4G...all im saying is... WHAT THE ****!
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
It gets better. Load up some custom kernals + setcpu and you'll get great life. I'm running CM6 + snap 8.2 and it lasts the whole day with moderate use.
[EVO 4G General] edufur:
There is plenty of info on battery issues with EVO.

First... I would recommend rooting.

Second, use the FRESH build based off the new OTA leak.

Finally, change Settings / Mobile Networks / [uncheck] Enable Always-on

Then... ALWAYS keep your WiFi radio on. Add your home network if you have one... and wherever you go, add whatever hotspots you are in proximity of.

And if you ever consider doing a new build, backup your WiFi access point data via Titanium Backup before you do.

That should just about cover it... You will get a full day of use PLUS some out of that battery.
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
i am im running KINGS #9 kernal, regularly clocked at 499200 min and 65820 max, and when the screen is off i have it set at 245 min and max... im gonna buy a nother battery. one of those 3500 batterys...they go for like 10 bucks on ebay
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
i rooted my phone within 2 hours of purchasing it...i will look into what you mentioned later. im gonna condition my battery for the 4th time in 5 days..
[EVO 4G General] jigglywiggly:
PS those 3500mah batteries on ebay for 10$ and the same 2000mah batteries.

If you get one, get a seido. I just bought 2x1500mah batteries from tuttoit, great backup batteries... charger too 9.96$ shipped.

Oh and I am getting great battery life with snap and cyanogen's rom.
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
yeah i am going to look into all the batteries, and i love sense, that is why im not on CM6. all my other phones are running it (G1, MT3G HD2). now that i have a phone that runs sense naturally, i dont wanna change it. i love sense! and this thread was just a way for me to vent about my crappy battery.... lol
[EVO 4G General] edufur:
When you rooted it, did you also flash the newest radios? Trust me on the fresh build.. it rocks... but also, most importantly, use WiFi whenever possible... and turn off "always update"... those are all the most important.
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
yeah im running the latest radio, and i dont have wifi where i live/ work =/
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
is it really that hard to search for info ? there is a post about battery live everyday some times more
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
im not saying i need info, im just venting right now. you buy the BEST phone available, youd figure the battery would be the best too right?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
After about 10 hours I was at 50% with moderate use.... not too shabby. I have always-enabled turned off, setCPU at 1190/245 then <85% 921/245 <70% 806/245 <55% 729/245 <40% 615/245 <25% 499/245 and JuiceDefender
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
lucky bastard... lol
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
lol these phones are great but until we see some great advancement in battery technology, the battery life wont be
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
that is exactly what im trying to say man... lol.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
No when I got my evo I was clearly.told and shown a doc from sprint (the manager over mobile area is a buddy) to tell everyone to expect 6 hours of battery life with normal use. I was able to squeeze out 8 - 9 myself. I know people say conditioning the battery is a waste of time . IMHO do it I noticed a nice increase in battery life. I have to laugh at people who get pissy about battery life when they are holding a mini PC.

Myself i avg. 18-20 hours a charge with normal use. I have 2 backup batteries so I don't worry to much about juice

from the fade
[EVO 4G General] SouthernEvo:
I really dont feel the Evo is a bad phone h, hell I love the damn thing . I just feel HTC kinda screwed up things in the process . One telling customers to expect 6 hours of use is alittle of a joke . Who the hell only works six hours a day ? Or is that six hours also include you getting up getting ready for work then coming home before you go to bed ? Second , its pretty clear the Evo has a bug in its charging system . People have reported that using stand alone wall chargers to charge the batteries they are getting improved life out of the batteries (Sorry I have never removed a battery from any cellphone I have had in the past to charge it and not gonna start now) . Third yes the HTC Evo is litterally a pocket pc with capabilities most phones dream of having . Then why the hell did they give it a 1500mah battery ? Thats like strapping a 55 gallon drum of fuel to the space shuttle and saying "Yeah this outta make it" . Sorry for my rant had to get it out (plugs phone in to charge again) LOL
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
OP, I like you, you're funny :D

A couple things..

1) Why do you have your CPU governed below 700mHz while awake??? You won't save battery that way, your phone runs at a gHz, use it!!

2) Setting your min/max both at 245 on sleep will actually decrease your battery life and your phones wake up performance, maybe not much. Capping your phone at 245 when asleep makes it a harder transition to awake because it makes that sudden jump when you wake it up. Setting your max somewhere over 600 on asleep, and setting it to OnDemand will ease the transition from sleep to awake.

There is no shortage of battery life tips but here's one: The auto rotate function polls for g-sensor status like once every 15 milliseconds. I use a switch on my homescreen to turn it on when I want it and keep it locked in portrait when I don't need it. This will help conserve some juice :)

I'm only scratching the surface here, I'm sure you do realize what a wealth of info there is on the subject already. FWIW, I use the crap out of this phone and I consistently get 20+ hours out of a charge. Good battery performance is achievable!
[EVO 4G General] brownmc77:
20+ Damn, what rom and kernel are you using? Im kinda having the same problems too. Im limiting my phone tryin to get better batt, that ****ing sucks. I just want to use my damn phone, without much sacrifice. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
Why the hell do you have 4 phones running the same OS?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I run CM6 Final with the kernel it comes with. I also use Juice Defender but I'm not ready to fully endorse it yet, I think I can do better than 20 hours.. lol

A few tips:

In menu>settings>location UnCheck "use wireless networks" (you can leave GPS checked, it only turns on when an app needs it)

The more widgets you use the more widgets will be updating, using more cpu cycles

Turn off all haptic feedback and vibrating when you type

Switch auto-rotate off when you don't need it

Set WiFi Sleep Policy to "never" (that option is in the Spare Parts app)

I disabled updating on my weather and news

I only use gmail for email which arguably uses less battery than an email app that polls at a set interval

CALIBRATE CALIBRATE CALIBRATE your battery

Set brightness where you need it, not on auto. SwitchPro for brightness level, ftw

Also, understand that the EVO seems to drain faster when it's full and VERY slow when it's under 15%, I've seen my phone take over 6 hours to drain the last 10%

LWP's are typically pretty good at sucking juice

And before anyone starts saying "I bought this awesome phone and I can't use anything because I need my battery to last"..

Look, it's an amazing mobile device that does a lot of really cool things. It's not designed to do all of them all the time. Pick the things that are important to you and work around them. Keep your expectations realistic and you'll be delighted with the EVO and the amount of juice you get out of it.
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
****...your lucky...i guess i just might carry an extra battery around...idk
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
oh yeah bro i know what your saying, and trust me im doing all of those things, im going to turn off auto sync, that is what i did on my HD2, i just totally forgot about it now... haha this thread is becoming really funny lol. i wasnt looking for tips (but thanks to everyone that gave me them) i just wanted to vent hahah
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
i dont lol my evo is running sense ;)
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
NP ;)

I was offering those up to whoever, seems like a few others in here seek to get better battery life also. But yeah, I know you were just venting. I'm impressed someone is finally mature enough to vent some frustrations without turning this place into an e-warzone :p
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Usually not the OP but the people that ensue.
[EVO 4G General] mikeDCMDVA:
Sell it, that is what I am doing

HTC is not known for great battery life I have heard
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
i cant sell it im in love with it, i've just compensated the poor bat life by bringing a usb cable wherever i go :)
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
yeah i've been a member of these forums for a while i think i have over 600 posts so i know the etiquette of xda...im not gonna start a thread thats like "OMG I HATE THE EVO THE BATTERY SUCKS YOU ALL SUCK FFFF UUUUU CAUSE THE BATTERY SUCKS" lol.

even though the title kinda suggests that? im not sure lol
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Thank you

That was truly funny, for the second time today I have literally lol'd reading xda, sitting at my desk, supposed to be working.. :D

i have a stock evo and the battery life is horrbile, i know its the battery but sprint tech told me battery was fine, im a bit tight on cash so i have bought another battery yet, my cousin however gets almost 3times the battery life on his stock evo and my poor sister can barely go half a day on her epic, these companies needs to start testing the batteries more thoroughly

isnt the epic supposed have some kind of battery save feature??

Is there a way to find out if you have done the Lagfix on your phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpesigan6:
check your quadrant score. if it reaches to the 2000's, then you got it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
One surefire way is to download Quadrant from the market and run a benchmark. Depending on which lagfix you've ran (ext2, ext3, ext4) if your scoring at 1500+ in quadrant, you have a "lagfix" working....stock is more along the lines of the 900's range...
[Vibrant General] OREGONMX:
This is driving me nuts! All of a sudden Eclipse won't let me install my app on my I am working on to my unrooted Samsung Vibrant There are no errors in the app and it uploads fine on my Cyanogen Moded G1 running 2.1. I have not changed anything on my phone or in the project and because it uploads just fine to the G1 I figure it has to be a problem with the phone (although some, but not all of my other apps I have in eclipse upload to the phone just fine). I uninstalled the app, restarted my phone, restarted eclipse, restarted the computer a thousand times but every time the console just keeps giving me this message:

[2010-09-13 09:31:35 - Image Viewer] Uploading Image Viewer.apk onto device 'T9591e92523f'

[Vibrant General] rpcameron:
Which version of Eclipse and ADT are you using? The latest SDK update that was just released has problems with Eclipse 3.6. The updated ADT (0.9.8) is reported by Google as only working on 3.5, not 3.6.
[Vibrant General] OREGONMX:
Hmmmmm- that's a good question. I did update ADT in the midst of this whole debacle but I can't remember if it was before or after I started having problems. It's weird that it would work with some projects and not others though. I will see if I can downgrade to the old version and see if that fixes it. Thank you!!
[Vibrant General] tremechus:
I'm getting the same thing on my captivate.

I can install the apk to a magic running 2.2, a Droid X running 2.1, and multiple emulators, but not the samsung.

I can install other projects, just not this specific one. I'm not sure where to look to see what makes it different though.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant General] thedarkpassenger:
I don't have these problems on my vibrant - I can hit run in eclipse and the apk gets transferred and loads automatically. I have no clue what could be causing the issue you guys are seeing. Could something have changed in later revisions of the device?
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
I had Eugene's hybrid rom installed a while back and the eclipse console would report a successful install of my program; however, it would not only fail to launch but also be nowhere to be seen on my phone. There would literally be no trace of the program on my phone despite the supposedly successful install.

I went back to stock via Odin and the problem disappeared. I don't know whether the rom was the culprit and am too tired laying in bed right now to do an empirical study to find out :O
[Vibrant General] tremechus:
In my case it turned out that I had two activities with this attribute:

android:label="@string/app_name"

apparently the eclipse plugin doesn't like to push an app with two app labels.
[Vibrant General] ecpcorran:
I am having this problem on my Vibrant as well. I think a prior installation of the application failed...

If I recreate the project with a different package namespace and transfer the files from the old project over then I am able to upload the application via eclipse again.

I'm not sure how to clean out the prior install. I too am running an unrooted phone...

Not sure if it is related, but since this started happening, my phone has been dying overnight and won't boot up unless I remove the battery AND sim card. Thankfully I have a good internal clock. I've been using my phone as an alarm clock so this has been quite inconvenient.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunaysv:
Hi,

I am new to the Android game and I got the HTC Aria few days back.

I am a big fan of the Sense UI. The main reason I got this phone.

My question is that why doesnt the flip clock on my Aria actually FLIP, like it does on other HTC phones with the Sense UI as shown in the videos.

Am I missing something or is something wrong with my phone.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevina90:
you know what... i never noticed that...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunaysv:
I noticed it after using it for about 10-12 days, I looked around on Youtube and other places to see if the FLIP actually happens as shown on the video commercial. But it never does.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan92084:
i've seen it said that only their winmo phones had flip animations
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunaysv:
I am pretty sure that I have seen the clock FLIP on the HTC hero which is an Android phone.

Edit : I looked around a bit and found that the Old Hero Roms have FLIP on it but not the new ones.

HTC/AT&T could have removed or disabled the animation.

Is there any way I can get my Flip Clock to actually FLIP.

Please HELP ! I really want that thing on my phone.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thundervore:
The flip animation was replaced by the weather effects animation i believe.

To my knowledge you cannot have one without the other. Ive also noticed that the weather animation pauses all animations on the homescreen when active such as the HTC sync app or the HTC battery meter app.

I do know that all windows mobile phones with sense UI does flip but do not have such extensive weather animation.

thunderstorm animation is my favourite :D
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunaysv:
@Thundervore

The Thunderstorm animation is Awesome !

But when you say that the weather animation has replaced the Flip animation.

Is there no way I can get the Flip animation on my Aria?

Probably get the widget pack from an Old Hero ROM or something like that ?

Is something like that possible ?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maroon Mushroom:
I would much rather have the flip animation than the weather animation.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shark0807:
Before the Aria I had a GSM HTC Hero. Soon after I got it HTC released an incremental update that removed the flip animation, claiming that the flip used too much CPU resources and slowed down the phone.

I liked the flip animation as well, and I personally never noticed any sort of performance difference between the two versions. I do know that if you kept your HTC Hero on cupcake, someone released a .apk that gives you back the flip animation, but the last time I checked there was no solution for eclair SenseUI.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunaysv:
Aww man...

I have tried everything.

Fancy Widget, Beautiful Widget and even the .zip from the link posted above.

Nothing works ... there isnt a clock that will flip.

I saw a video on youtube where Flip Clock is available on HTC Windows phones.

Thats kinda stupid.

I hope there is a port or something.

I wouldnt mind working on it if pointed in the right direction.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shark0807:
Just to be clear, the HTC Hero (GSM) was the last HTC android phone to have an actually 'flipping' flip clock, and they patched it so that it wouldn't, and there was never a 2.1 flipclock that actually flipped.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maroon Mushroom:
There's got to be a way to port an older Sense widget with the flip animation...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevina90:
well i tried.. and failed... I flashed the flip from desire hd port but it sort of worked... not really. It looked like a big blob of overly sized numbers.

So I tried resizing all the pictures, and failed. This might be because I am deodexeded right now. Can someone else with a odexed sense rom flash this in recovery and see if it works? Please? Also do a nandroid and report back to me. If it works, I'll post it on my sense clock mod thread.

tried the flip on regular fr06. there was just a grey box where the clock/weather widget would be.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ichirumama:

I am considering moving from AT&T (Tilt2 TP2) to Verizon. I LOVE the ability to optimize my experience with custom ROMS and apps. Anyone who has made the move NOT like Android 2.2 (or 2.1 in case of X) over optimized WinMo Roms?
[Droid X General] dryice1049:
Compared to the tp2 the X is way better multitask all day and super fast. What sucks cdma only being able to do voice or data not both unless wifi is available. The camera is night and day better and having a flash is great. Battery is weird but so was my tp2 with custom roms. And as for roms these phones perform quite well without unlike my tilt 2 which for me was horrible with atts rom so all you need is root and some themeing on the X. I miss having a stylus from time to time but that's it. Hope that helps.
