Product, the above paragraph does solved the second paragraph issue. Did it last night, tested it, and it's solved the issue of keeping the phone awake.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Good to hear :)

Some people said doing a completely fresh install (wipe everything) prevents it from happening in the first place. That's why you don't install a new version over an old version.

The new Evo's have a different camera in them, plus the software for the camera is different. The kernel is also different. There is also some hardware setting XML files in the new 3.30.XXX.X ROMS.

It's NOT my batteries, or my phone....

Sorry to add more to the battery drivel, but I did some testing, and it's neither my battery or phone, so it has to be something in the ROM or kernel.

As I've said, the first 2 days R4B and Ziggy 471 were brilliant, giving me amazing times. But Late Sunday I started noticing some crazy ****e. So with 3 batteries, all the same age and average usage, I decided to use 3 different chargers/methods; wall charger (the kind that holds a battery and has a USB), HTC plug-in (came with the phone), and USB off my laptop. The results were identical.

If I look at my phone while it's plugged in, the battery will read 100%/4.19 or 4.2V. On my batteries, that's always been a full charge, and HELD at that level when I unplugged the phone. Now, when I unplug the phone it immediately drops to 4.08V or 4.09V, goes to 96% immediately and drops to 93% within minutes regardless of activity (or NO activity).

This happens with all 3 batteries and all 3 charging methods, so it is definitely not the batteries and definitely IS something in the software.

I'm going to swap kernels this morning before leaving for work to see if that's the culprit, but I have my doubts...:confused:

Anyone got some input? (And in case it means anything, I'm on HW0003).

Thanks....

Should put a Myn's Warm Donate app in the market for like 5 bones, as I hate paypal, I never donate using that but then of course google would take a 30% cut of myn's work which would suck. Maybe have it have a PKI attatched that plugs into myn's updater, and makes beta releases show up in it...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Quick2822:
When your phone is fully charged, unplug it, turn it off and plug it back in. Let charge for another 10-15 minutes and unplug then power on.

That usually fixes the issue where the first 6%-7% drop quickly. It has to do with the floating charge system.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
The initital drop to around 90% is to be expected. Yea....I've been able to get it to NOT happen, but I don't fret or worry anymore if it DOES happen.

How fast is your battery dropping AFTER the first 10% and when it is idle? Is your awake and sleep time different?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Like others have said, the initial drop is normal. For me (Ziggy's also), the plummit from 100%-90% is really quick. First few days with Ziggy were awesome like you said. Then it got bad. Today it's not that bad. I'm on the bus right now listening to music and it's dropping like 1% every few minutes with the screen on (starting from 90%). I'm at 86% right now.

EDIT: I flashed the newest radio (9.01) and PRI (1.77_003) but I doubt that has anything to do with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Where did you get the spare batteries and charger? Did both batteries and the charger cost $15 together, or were they $15 each? I assume it was total and that you got them off of ebay, but want to be sure. If you got them on ebay, what model/brand should I be looking for?
[EVO 4G Android Development] madsquabbles:
this issue has been around a while. to fully charge it you have to turn it off and charge it. the software charges up to 100% and then doesn't start recharging until it gets to 90%.

there's a post somewhere with an email from htc that explained it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Thanks, but...

The drop may be normal on most EVOs, but it's never occured on mine. From the get-go I've been able to unplug, and hover around 99% for at least 15-30 minutes, then experience a very slow, 1% incremental drop. Especially after calibrating the batteries, this has always been the case...until now.

I just flashed HTC #17. I got the same thing; shows 100%/4.2V plugged in, with an immediate drop to 93%/4.051V when I unplug it. I just turned it off and will charge it OFF until the green light comes back on...

It turned green within seconds, which it shouldn't have done if I was truly at 93%. This is screwy. Booted unplugged, and it shows 98%/4.091V. Even screwier.

Plugged it in and it immediately jumped to 96%/4.147V. This is not normal (but then, neither am I...). Leaving it plugged in until it says 100%, then leaving for work.

I'll post more later...

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Lol, so The EVO has so much ram it never gets used up and can never benefit from a swap file? You cannot be serious. The EVO's ram easily gets eaten up and causes the phone to lag. My home computer has 4 gigs of ram and STILL runs faster if I have a swap file set up. The swap file gives your ram room to breathe.

The chief problem I was having was with slowness in my homescreens redrawing if I had been web surfing for a while and came back to my homescreen.

To the fellow who said "I was the only one 'harping' on homescreen lag..." I would say that a senior member who has a problem with something and is looking for answers is hardly 'harping'. If insulting people makes you feel like a big man, have at it.

I am running a clean version of Myn RLS3 with the stock kernel after a full wipe. Without the use of the swap file, my homescreens lag after heavy web surfing. I noticed in cm6 that homescreen lag is caused by the VM heap Size being too large. I wonder what the VM Heap size is in Myn since the user cannot change it?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Ok, but Linux is not Windows. Windows likes to keep memory free. Linux fills up the RAM but allocates more memory to the application(s) that are actually being used. That's why you have random apps open when you look in a task manager. If you ran Linux on your desktop, you'd see the same thing. Google it if you don't believe me.

And for the record, you can change the VM heap size: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/increase-your-vm-heap-size-with-vm-heap-tool/

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Yes, I got them off eBay with the Buy Now option. It came with two batteries and the charger, the total for all was $15. The charger is nice because it will charge a spare battery and has a usb plug so you can charge the phone at the same time, too.

I bought from a seller in California by the name of chichitec / HTCEXPRESS.COM

@mitchellvii

i apologize if you take that as an insult. that certainly isn't what i meant.

but what i posted is the truth.

i've read every post in this thread,

and you are the only one that has mentioned home screen redrawing/severe lag/need swapper to make it work.

and even with posting that info more than once,

it appears no one else has had that problem.

so please accept my apology and remove "that has harped" from my post

and question about what do you have on your screens that would take any time at all to redraw.

since your situation appears unique, i am curious:

how many apps do you have installed and how much available space do you have in internal phone storage?

could you post screen shots of your home screens.

have you had this problem with other versions of Myn's?

how about with other ROMS? even after a full wipe and clean install?

can a failing SD card cause the problems that you are having?

again - i am in no position to insult anyone - that isn't my nature. sorry.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Not at all, go ahead :)

I forgot to add a few more things to the "saving battery" section:

- Turn off Always-On Mobile Data in the Mobile Network settings. This lets the 3G modem go to sleep when it's not being used (usually 5 5 minutes after turning off the screen), but doesn't interfere with your email or anything that requires a data connection in any way.

- Set Flash Player to "On Demand" in the browser. Go to Settings in the browser and scroll down to "Plugins".

Does this mean I can lose access to the 4g network by not using Amon-Ra?

How do I go about applying the hulu update I have it installed , I tried to use titanium back up to remove but I never get past the unboxing stage in recovery ...any help on this ..thanks...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
No, you won't lose 4G but if for whatever reason you need to restore your WiMax image, you can do it. Don't update your WiMax radio because each phone has a unique key and if two people flash the same one from, only one will be able to connect. And if that happens, you want something to fall back on. Just a note: Clockwork backups won't work with Amon-Ra.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Think you may have gotten Swyped, but it sounds like you're trying to install the edited flash so hulu will work? If so you need to remove install flash player from system /app and flash apk from data /app. Reboot and install edited flash. That's what worked for me. Hope it helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
awesome post product f(red)!

wouldn't another advantage for clockworkmod recovery be,

if you want to use rom manager,

as i don't think rom manager works with amon-ra, does it?

with amon-ra you do it all yourself, don't you?

i've only used clockworkmod recovery, and haven't had any problems.

how about unique RSA key - is that key constantly changing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
You're right. You can still use ROM manager to download ROMs and such, but you have to reboot into recovery and actually flash them yourself. ROM Manger will let you flash Amon-ra without having to reboot. Just open the app and go all the way to the bottom ("Flash Alternate Recovery"). The only thing is Clockwork backups won't work with Amon-ra and vice versa, but that's not really a big deal.

Warm Updater seems to work with Amon-ra. As in when you choose to apply a mod, it'll automatically reboot into recovery and flash it for you.

That's what a nandroid backup looks like on clockwork and amon-ra. The difference is that clockwork doesn't backup your wimax radio image. Plus clockwork doesn't wipe the dalik-cache correctly so you might have issues when flashing new kernels.

Flashed RLS4 BETA 1 this morning and pretty much been running it nonstop since. I still have 60% battery left after reinstalling and setting up everything like I like it. I am running the EVO 4G hardware 00002 with the HTC #17 kernel. I haven't installed any other mods or tweaks to my phone. I haven't got a single FC on acore or anything for that matter.

Pros:

Seems a little quicker than RLS3 (responsiveness)

Battery life seems about the same if not slightly better than RLS3

Battery percentage is A LOT easier to read

I like that the debugging mode icon is gone but debugging mode is still on.

Cons:

Toggles in notification shade become out of sync when using other toggle widgets or the menu

Would be nice if we could change the toggles in the notification shade. I would like mobile hotspot and 4G toggles added to it.

Would be nice if the toggles had some color. It is kind of difficult to tell what is on and what is off at a glance.

That is all I have experienced so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
That is remove htc lock. It is 100% clear. The OP was referring to one that has a little shading to it so it's a bit easier to see the slide option.

toggles in pulldown notification bar are just that - a toggle - not an indicator.

(yes - if you use pulldown toggle to turn on it will be in sync).

your notification bar shows what you have turned on.

earlier in this thread, there was a post as to how you can change the toggles

to the ones you want included. i think there are 13 and you can have 6.

and there was also a link to a mod that has green color in pulldown toggles.

hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akazabam:
all you have to do is toggle one thing to sync the rest. For example, if you toggle bluetooth with some other method, then toggle something else with the notification panel toggles, the bluetooth toggle will then sync up. Yeah, annoying, but it's a workaround for now.

You have 13 to choose from, but 4g and hotspot are currently not options. JsChiSurf is currently working on a 4g toggle, and I'm pretty sure a hotspot one eventually.

After using Ziggy's 471 kernel for RLS4 for 3 or 4 days, I have to say that although sometimes it decides to infrequently drop the battery quickly when the phone is being used, it is overall a very good kernel. The battery only went down 3% on a 10 minute call and overall battery life tends to plateau as long as you're not using your phone extremely heavily.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
I've seen some rapid and unexplainable (at quick glance) battery drops too. I've also had more slow downs (everything comes to a crawl) and then eventually goes back to normal.

My recommendation for the RLS 4 final will be to perform a full wipe. (data/cache/dalvik). I want my users to have a perfect experience and the only real way to do this is to completely wipe.

There were just a slew of major foundational features and frameworks changed in RLS4 that warrant a full wipe. Between framework performance overhauls to a new base, new Market and the addition of power controls. Lotsa stuff changed.

I've had a number of my gracious beta testers help me debug their issues and in just about all cases, a full wipe solved resolved them.

Again, I'm sorry for having to make everyone wipe data.

I've been fooling around with the latest beta and flashed the Riptide9 theme over it because I've always liked the theme. I loved the new Market in RLS 3.95b but after the flashing the theme the Market is back to the old white? Is the new Market in 3.95 just a color changed which was undone/redone by the theme or is there more that was changed that I can't see? It still functions so I don't know of any problems unless you hate white.

Yeah, it's the theme. There is a pic of the Market in Rip's 1st post - white and blue. When you flash an entire theme, it changes pretty much everything that came themed with the rom. The theme changes a bunch of the framework. If there are certain things you like about Rip's theme but want to keep the base theme that comes with Myn's rom, then you can try flashing some of the add-ons to rip themes instead of the entire theme. I had some success with that on rls3 and I'll likely try it again when rls4 comes out.
