You guys should also keep in mind that you should let whatever kernel you install have time to settle in, like a good 3-7 days before judging it to be not worthy. I have had some suck the batt like crazy, but after 3 days or so when it sets in i would start getting awesome batt life. Also all evo's are not created =, even if you have two identical phones with the same rom and kernel results may be totally different.

I've been running RLS5 since 1/7/11, with the same kernel that I've used with RLS4.

With RLS4, I was getting at least 1.5 days worth of battery life with moderate usage. RLS5, same exact kernel, I go less than a phone call before it drops 10%. Tried many other kernels with no improvement. I'm inclined to believe it's something with RLS5 that is doing this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] j0ckinjz:
At first my phone sucked with RLS5. It was laggy, battery sucked, and was just unusable. But then I just reflashed it and kept stock kernel and now it works great all around.

Wow, that sounds like one of those fake commercial product testimonies lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] SUTHRNFRIED:
I too had bad batt life after trying a few of the suggested kernels then I flashed kernel 131 from the SBC thread. I did a batt calibration also and so far with testing I only fell 2% in one hour with no use VS almost 10% with no use with the suggested kernels also with a batt calibration.

Not using setcpu, just letting the kernel work. 131 is a more aggressive havs kernel which is pretty good for evos and it also uses trickle charging. Not using calks batt tweak either.

As I've been writing this on my xda apparently I have only dropped 3% VS almost 6% with suggested kernels.

In summary...that's what's working for me so far and I'm pretty pleased.

Also PRI is 1.90_003

Need some help with ADB.

I have searched, read articles, watched videos, downloaded files, extracted, and so on.

I cannot get ADB to work.

Can someone give me advice as to what I should do next?

I downloaded and extracted the SDK files to the C:\

In the command prompt I am typing:

cd\

cd android-sdk-windows\tools\

cd android-sdk-windows\tools\adb devices

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

How the heck do I do this ADB?
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankpreyes:
All things being equal, the kernel has more to do with battery life than any Rom. As was mentioned previously, it takes some time for battery consumption to stabilize once you install a rom/kernel or a different kernel.

My studies have shown that the HTC 17 kernel is about 25% better than the HTC 15 kernel, whether or not you are using rls 4 or 5. The number one battery drainer, assuming you do not have any apps which are abnormally syncing, or you do not have wimax polling, because you forgot to get rid of all 4G widgets, is your 3G radio trying to establish and/or re-establish a connection. If you have 0 - 2 bars for your 3G connection, you will drain your battery at excessive rates. Check my signature out for the combination of radios etc., needed to run the HTC 17 kernel. There is nothing wrong with Myn's rom, when it comes to battery consumption.

Most of the problems blamed on Myn's rom are either operator error when flashing the rom, installing programs which inadvertently consume battery because they poll the 3G radio too often, or program combinations which result in conflicts (wakelocks). To create a pristine Evo, Delete all Data, cache, and Davlik cache, flash Myns rom, then the 17 kernel, the older PRI, then the radio. Do this flashing while in recovery. Do not boot back to your phone until all flashing is completed. Then add back your apps one by one, making a nandroid every five apps. Check out your system using battery monitor widget. You should now have one sweet battery sipping evo. There are many more pieces of info available by me and others (Lowtax, Persnlmanager and other senior members).

To reduce your battery drain due to poor cell tower coverage, you can download a program called roam control from the market, or you can change your PRL to connect with Verizon's tower's :D

I know they can't hand out everyone a new phone, but come on. I even called their executive hotline that they laid out for consumerist.com readers. That's like, the highest you can go without hitting Dan Hesse himself. The guy I spoke to was definitely more understanding than the [literally] 6 reps I spoke to yesterday for 2 hours. But it all came down to, "we don't send out new phones ourselves as replacements. It's up to the store what to do". But that doesn't make any sense because I can't force the store to give me a new phone. They're corporate and they're saying they can't do this and I don't believe them. If the store gives me a new phone, it costs them $200. Corporate on the other hand should be more responsible than that. He said "we USED to give people new phones but it's not done like that anymore".

Since he was familiar with Consumerist.com, I pointed him towards this article and he kinda just shrugged over the phone:

http://consumerist.com/2011/01/how-many-non-working-smartphones-before-you-just-give-up.html

The guy in the article sounds exactly like me right now. Even the same timeframe.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
that seems isolated to your setup. I have gone over 24 hours of battery life with about 3-5 hours of usage/dispaly. If your phone can't hold a charge, that has nothing to do with a kernel. Are you charging usb or A/C? you might want to download system monitor and find out what is eating your battery
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drakhar:
Not impossible.

Here's my latest battery stats... 43.5 hours uptime, 4.25 awake.

As you can see by the Cell Standby, it was using way more than it should because I have really crappy service at my house (0-1 bar).

Streamed Pandora for about 2 hours (doesnt show as awake time since the screen was off), 2.5 hours of web/XDA browsing, approx. 100 texts, 15 mins of phone calls, several Quad, Linpack and FPS2d runs as well.

This was running RLS2 Beta with CFS #11, no battery tweak.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
no offense man, but basically you had your phone unplugged for almost 2 days and only really used it for 4 hours
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drakhar:
You can view both of those screens under Menu->Settings->About phone->Battery->Battery use
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drakhar:
Yes, I know that. It was actually closer to 6 hours with the Pandora streaming, it just doesn't show as awake time.

I was responding to the person who said it was impossible for 50 hours of battery life. He didn't post any screenshots though.

If you use your phone constantly, your battery will not last. Everyone knows this.

You guys don't have to keep posting "you didn't use your phone". Yes, I did. For about 6 hours.

i have gotten this with pretty much any custom ROM, especially after 3.28 based ROM's, nothing special, worst case, just wipe cache for the market or cancel the download

all i am saying is that doesn't demonstrate real life usage, so my thoughts are it doesn't really help quantify battery life/etc, but as you said, it is possible

Ok,

I live in Baltimore and often I move in an out of 4G and the phone won't auto pickup. Toggle works fine. Is there a setting I am missing or do I need to remove toggle from notification.

Obviously in RLS4 4G would auto connect/disconnect just fine.

[EVO 4G Android Development] tmwilsoniv:
Sometimes it's easier to start from scratch. I am using XP SP3, so my suggestions will be geared towards that.

First, remove what you have installed thus far. Don't forget to go into Add/Remove programs to delete the SDK Manager (big file)

Download either the Android SDK zip or Windows Installer.

Download the Java JDK file for windows. Install this first.

Run the SDK installer and rename the destination folder to:

c:\android-sdk-windows

When prompted, open - run now.

For starters, install only the top line of available packages (Android SDK Platform Tools) "X" out the others. Let it do its thing and then close the SDK manager.

The trickiest part is now to create a path to the stuff you just installed.

On XP, click start, right click my computer, click properties, click advanced, click environmental properties. Highlight "Path."

Edit>>> Add to the end of this line of paths already there<<<

Don't over-write anything!!!

>;c:\android-sdk-windows\tools;c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools<

Click the O.K. buttons until you are out of those windows.

Re-boot the P.C.

If you have installed HTC Sync, the drivers will already be installed.

Make sure your Evo has debugging enabled and connect it to your P.C.

On your P.C., click start, click run, type cmd, hit enter.

In the Command prompt window type "adb devices" hit enter. It should show your device with its serial number. If it does, you're done.

Good Luck!

I've been using this rom for the longest and I don't know if it's the newest update of the rom or the newest update of google maps, but google maps has been KILLING my battery life after I started using the newest version of this rom. After 9 hours it has 25% left and it says that 90% of my battery was used by google maps and every time I try to turn google maps off it just restarts itself. Any advice? I really do not know what to do because it wont even let me uninstall google maps.

[EVO 4G Android Development] texasez:
If you downloaded version 8 of sdk, the files you need are in platform-tools file.

Go to that file on internet explorer and you will see adb.exe.

Highlight C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools in you title bar, delete it, and in the empty title bar type, "cmd"

This will open command prompt.

Type "adb shell" enter

# is what you should see.

type "exit" enter

"adb devices" enter

you should see "htc something"

you can now do you adb commands if you see your device.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsxla:
Once you install the rom, there will be a "optional" folder in your SD card, you can choose to install the apps from there, using Astro or whatever, you can also get some of the add ons, by looking at your apps there will be one called Warm Updater -

launch that and then hit menu->configration->Addon/themeupdatesettings->manageaddons -> then hit menu and choose Update featured addon/theme servers. then hit back back till you get the main menu of Warm updater and click CHECK NOW from there you can download any adds on you wish and it will flash it for you by rooting into the recovery <- where you initially flashed this rom - change log is just the changes you will be getting by default not to be mistaken by ADDONS hope this helps.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
You may want to see if you have Latitude enabled in Maps, that could be a cause. Also do realize that it doesn't mean 90% of your battery was used by Maps. It means that Maps was active 90% of the time your battery was in use (either way that is clearly a problem). Slight difference and that may have been what you meant anyway...Did you try stopping maps under running programs? If so, did it just come back and continue using battery?

Passed that, I always turn off GPS if I am not using navigation for anything.

another one blaming the ROM - geeez :)

yup, i flashed ziggy's latest beta when it came out and use it naked.

my battery circumstances are different - my grunt knock out the tax work and computer repair & remote assistance service is from my home - so i'm there 20/7 thru april 15th - and when i'm out at clients i'm not using my evo - except for showing it off ! - so battery isn't an issue for me.

then when i take time to myself, i'm always flashing, nanning, etc.

so i can never tell exactly how long i would get - but the way i figure it - i've always gotten at least 5 good usage/awake hours - that's plenty for me.

a lot of fans of that combo ! hard to beat that setup.

i saw others posted, if you still have issues, pm me ...

(bxphantom - please send me that email i sent you about adb. thanks dude)

i went into /system/etc and rename hosts to hostsORG

it gives me ads, but i support xda devs and watch tv with ads too ...

download it from the OP post #1 and put it in the root of your sdcard

then boot into recovery and flash it and reboot

when you start it, tap on the hour glass in the screen

if you have an issue, go to manage applications - adobe flash and undue the latest flash update.

then hulu will work fine.

Keep in mind that Sprint / Clear Wire have more 4G demand than available 4G spectrum in the Baltimore market. They are constantly tweaking and repairing. In Baltimore, 4G can be flying, grind to a halt, disconnect, reconnect, run at 3G speeds, disconnect, reconnect, disconnect, reconnect, back up to 4G speeds, etc...all while maintaining a solid -62 dBm signal strength. Don't assume that your ROM, radio, or RSA keys are to blame.
