Just a quick re-visit to the "OS Monitor" questions.... I have gone into settings and checked the Enable Root Access option, and can edit the scaling and upper/lower CPU settings. In the options menu, I see a box for Set at Boot, but it is darkened out and can't be checked. Is there a way to get the settings from OS Monitor to stick, or do you need Set CPU to get the settings to stick on a re-boot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Let's see..

I started with Warm Donut, then Warm Eclair. Google then decided to throw a curveball at me and changed from baked goods to something that was COLD.. Frozen Yogurt. Warm Frozen Yogurt = yucky.. So I changed my naming convention to TwoPointTwo to humor google..

Thankfully Google has come around and named their latest iteration of Android Gingerbread which tastes better warm then cold :)

With that said, It will be "Warm GingerBread"

Thanks. Updated first post.

I'm going to test this right now to see. That would always happen to me, and I assumed it was because of my 3g dropping out, due to "mobile data always on" being unchecked. So when my screen would time out, within 2 songs or so it would stop streaming. There is a setting in Pandora that forces the screen to remain on. I checked that box, and Pandora now plays seamlessly. Down side is the screen stays on. I'm going to disable that setting, then confirm that it stops streaming. Then ill re-check the "mobile data always on" and see if that stops oft from cutting out. I'll post back

Just flashed Twopointtwo and I must say so far its my favorite. I especially like the blacked out market. Now I have only used a couple other ones but this one really stands out. Great work Myn. I will be donating. Looking forward to updates and future work from you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
So as long as the screen remains on this will not happen? If so, then I guess I'll keep my screen on.

I don't like ADW because it drains the crap out of my battery. I've swapped my evo out a few times in search of 0004 and on every single one the battery died fast with ADW. I removed it on my last evo and BOOM battery life was better.

I also noticed that my phone would get real hot when I installed the Theme Launcher Pro. As soon as I remove it, it would cool down and be fine. Guess I'm sticking with the stock Myn sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Thanks, I'm interested to see the results of your test.

[EVO 4G Android Development] djorijun:
yup,

As soon as i removed it BOOM, battery life increased. Weird I know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:


Results of test:

1) played Pandora with my original settings(mobile data always on UNCHECKED, and in Pandora, auto lock set to OFF, which keeps the screen on). Streamed fine, without dropping out. 3g remained on.

2) turned auto lock ON(so screen times out), in Pandora's prefs. After 3 songs, about 6 minutes, it stopped. Finished song #3, would not start song #4. I turned the screen on, and saw NO 3g symbol at first, then after couple seconds 3g came back, and Pandora resumed. So Pandora stopped due to loss of 3g, because (what I assumed) mobile data always on being unchecked, which results in 3g radio shutting off after a couple minutes of screen off.

3) left auto lock Pandora ON ( so screen times out), RE-CHECKED mobile data always on. Streamed Pandora, the screen timed out, and Pandora streamed seamlessly for 6 songs and started the 7th, so concluded it would continue to stream, because no settings were turning off the 3g radio.

Conclusion: Pandora will remain streaming as long as it has 3g. So screen has to be on, or mobile data always on has to be checked.

I assume this could be the same for slugbug, and the reason it works at home on WiFi is because it has a constant internet connection, and nothing turns it off.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
In my experience - yes. With the screen on, streaming music does not stop.

And for me, it serves two purposes - music all day at work, plus I'm plugged in, so when it gets to 100% I don't get a big drop to 90% after I unplugged cuz it charged while in use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kraenesk:
I see a lot of posts using smartass with no screen of profile. But I have tried smartass many times on my hero and Evo and never had any luck with it. Always end up with a 245-245 power save screen off profile.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
I concur :)

I have an app called Quick Profiles. One of my settings is "work". The screen goes really dim, the ringer/notifications go silent, the volume goes medium. I sit down, plug my phone into the charger, put my headphones on, and I'm good to go for the day. Also nice with the screen on makes it real easy to pause and/or skip a song.

Same with car profile - screen on, brightness high, volume one notch from fully cranked, plug in car charger and aux input and I'm jamming out. AND when calls come in it's easy to answer (screen is on), their voice comes through my speakers and I am handsfree.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:


Sweet, I'm going to try that quick profiles app. It sounds rather useful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brol1k:
you dont need to set those profiles and set the governor to smartass. The kernel itself will UC itself when the screen shuts off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
hhhmmmm something doesn't jive with what i experience with display off ...

i have mobile data always-on unchecked

i have 3g on

i have email set to sync/pull every 5 minutes

i hit power button to turn off display

i sent myself a test email from my pc

5 minutes later, with display still off, notification green light blinking

i turn display on and test email was sitting there

need data (3g, 4g or wifi) to get email

4g and wifi were not on

thus - my 3g was on the entire time with display off

so turning display off doesn't turn 3g off

at least with my setup

EDIT: does Pandora ever ask, if you leave it unattended for a long time

"are you still there?" and if you don't respond, it shuts down ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
You SHOULD NOT use the Profiles if you're set to Smartass (in fact, you can't...if you have any Profiles enabled it'll default back to On Demand).

I'm using the Ziggy Dec 5 CFS Beta. Yesterday I was stunned how well my battery did using aggressive Profiles. Today I'm completely BLOWN AWAY by my battery life using Smartass. 3 1/2 hours moderate use and I'm at 90% and not one thing - even Angry Birds - is slow!!!!!

Truly un-f-ing-believable!!!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kraenesk:
Never had it work well I've tried many times. My battery life always takes a dive. I would chalk it up to all phones are different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Nevermind...Double posts
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:


I agree with you there. With my normal setting of mobile data always on Unchecked, my email still syncs fine. Somehow, I think the mail apps will briefly auto turn the 3g on to sync. If I put my phone to sleep, wait 10 minutes, then power the screen on, 3g is initially not there (in notification bar), then re-appears seconds later, indicating it was off. Yet emails sync fine. See if the 3g is also off for you, after letting the phone sleep for ten or so mins. Also, will Pandora stream ok for you when the screen times out. For me, it plays a few minutes after screen off, then stops.
[EVO 4G Android Development] globen:
I don't know why my phones battery lasts longer when I plug it in to my laptop and charge it vs. regular outlet? I unpluged my phone at 2 pm and it is now 5 pm and only lost 4%. Anyone know why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] INebilim:
because you havent used it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wuclan48:
Are you using the computer at that time and unplugging the phone as soon as it is fully charged? That would be the reason.

[EVO 4G Android Development] globen:
No I unplugged at 86% and now at 82%. And yeah I'be been using my phone and the cell reception isn't that great working at a high school.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
My gmail auto syncs and my enable always on mobile data is unchecked. I can send myself a test email and the phone blinks before it even gets to my pc.

I don't think email syncing will correlate to how Pandora streams music. One is syncing the other is streaming. So I'm not sure we're comparing apples to apples here.

I don't know, but there are several options to get around it so it's not a problem for me and actually ends up working better. I tend to see the bright side of things :)

Custom Kernel Question

I am considering flashing a custom kernel (Ziggy's Bravo BFS) to see if I can get some improved battery life. Also, from what I understand that kernel is good for gaming. However, I am completely unfamiliar with custom kernels.

Once I flash it, how do I get into the settings? Is that done through terminal?

Sorry if this has been asked/answered already. I did a search and didn't find it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:


Agreed, sir. Two different things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chris17house:
Two things I notice.........

1) I have working bluetooth on every release besides RLS4 (any suggestions?)

2) My battery indicator is inaccurate. For instance, I may have 68% battery left, but when I reboot my phone, I will have a higher percentage left.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Well technically - you don't have to change any settings at all.

I would try the kernel for a few days with nothing changed.

If you want to look at or change the settings, the easiest way is with the setcpu app. You can also us os monitor (under misc settings) but that doesn't give you nearly as much info as setcpu.

I have setcpu "frozen' and now only use juicedefender.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cavediver:
I see you're using the stock HTC kernel, so my solution probably won't help you, but after I switched to Nets cfs less aggressive kernel my streaming issues similar to yours listed above stopped.

Perfect! Thanks for the help. I'm gonna give it a shot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:


Don't flash the bravo kernel, I don't think that's for the Evo. Get the one that says Evo, right beneath the bravo one! (unless you do in fact have a bravo)

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
The problems I had were totally my own doing. And the post that is linked from the FAQ assumes several things that I did not know. For example - you need to install the correct sdk tools, the phone needs to be in Charge mode (I was in disk mode). And while I have used dos prompts and commands in the past, it's been a loooong time, so it took me/us forever to get to the and directory on my pc that had the sdk tools. Once we got there and I was in charge mode, it was a breeze. (this coming from the person that followed spoon fed directions and that has a firm grasp on how to copy and paste code - ha!:D )

I am NOT dissin the FAQ post link, it just didn't work out well for me. I thought I had researched enough but I didn't know.....what I didn't know :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Your "battery life" is just a calculation done by the phone. When you reboot, new things are running, which changes the results of the calculation.

[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
I had a problem once with roaming and getting a Verizon message. I think it happens sometimes when u update a pri or prl. Call Sprint and tell them u need your profile reset, then pull your battery for 5 minutes to disconnect your radio from the towers. Turn it back on and you should be back to normal roaming.
[EVO 4G Android Development] keebler021:
Actually I know how to use all of these and have tried multiple settings and solutions, from wiping battery stats, changing SetCPU, changing autokill settings, disabling data always on, the plug/unplug trick, different kernels, to wiping a couple of times (and yes, before you ask I did dalvik and cache). I even switched to Amon Ra temporarily to make sure that the wipe was being done correctly. Still having issues with battery. This is actually probably the 10th or so ROM I've flashed and the first I've ever had battery life this bad with.

Glad your results have been stellar, but remember that YMMV, instead of assuming that the people that are having real issues are incompetent.

Still, awesome ROM and I haven't switched despite the battery issue. Looking forward to the fix :-)

[EVO 4G Android Development] Quick2822:
You can't teally kill apps in 2.2 -- they start back up. 2.2 has different memory management than 2.1. Task killers are, from my understanding, worthless on 2.2.

I'd wipe your cache, data and dalvik twice and reflash the ROM, then the kernel (assuming you're using another one).

I also recommend getting SetCPU, and setting it up so when the screen is off, the CPU stays at 245 the whole time.

[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Oh yes. With every version of it. I don't think it's because of this ROM though. There are many reports of it not working on a number of devices and ROMS.

Are you getting the cap at 0.4kb issue? That's my problem. My friend enabled access control, and it worked, but then I went back and it stopped working :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
I experienced the same issues. Something must be brewing in Google Land.

Thank you sir :)

There is a nice thread in the General section that talks about this initial battery drain. Basically our USB chargers trickle charge the battery. Where as wall chargers top it.

If it's been on the charger for awhile (> 8 hours) the intial drop of battery will be significant as the battery has been discharging for the time after it had been fully charged.

If you want to try something, Charge it up via USB to 100%. Remove the cable and begin using it for about 10 mins and once the battery life gets down to say 95% or so, plug it back in and charge it to 100% and immediately pull it off the charge when the light goes green. You'll notice the instant drop does not occur.

To remedy this, buy a cheap wall charger off ebay that doesn't discharge.

More discussion here

Thanks. RLS2 will have this optional feature :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] fsalazar504:
Ya I need to test this out. At first glance it looks as if my battery is draining faster than usual. I'll try the wall charger vs. USB charge and see if that helps. Did no set CPU changes or flashing of any kernels.

Hey Myn, I wanted to thank you for a couple of reasons.

First off this ROM is amazing, I used it for a bit before I started using my own custom ROM. It definitely stood out from most of the ROMS and the screen transitions are awesome. Ranks up there as one of my favorites!

I also wanted to thank you for providing the 3.29.651.5 Deodexed ROM, which I used as the base for my custom ROM. I was debating for a long time which ROM to use as my base (I did not want to use someone else's work as the base, wanted to make my own from scratch) and thanks to you, my ROM has finally not only come to light, but I was able to post it on here for others to use.

Thank you very much and keep up the good work. I am sure RLS2 is going to be awesome as well!

I haven't really taken the time to respond before as most of the roms here are impressive, but there's little original customization.

I have to say, this is a keeper for me. This is a phenomenal OS upgrade for me, I love the look of the OS, and although it may not be as "fast" as some of the other roms here, everything is working, and it really gives the phone a "new" modern feel. It really adds to my overall impression of my phone, this is what sense and HTC should have had from the beginning.

Kudos, and THANK YOU
[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
I just flashed this ROM a few hours ago and I love it already! The fastest Sense ROM I've tried so far. The battery life seems decent with the stock kernel so I'll give that a couple days before I decided to try the Kings one.

[EVO 4G Android Development] terrel_b:
Actually, I don't believe this is the case. The calculation should be the same regardless of what's running.

I think the issue actually has to do with the temperature of the battery. I thought I'd read somewhere that a change in the temp of the battery could affect the calculation of the remaining battery life. If that's the case, a reboot would likely increase the temperature as everything's loading and CPU's going hard.
[EVO 4G Android Development] philburkhardt:

Thanks for this feedback. So it seems we have found a use case where "Mobile Data Always On" being unchecked has an effect.

[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
First off, let me say that I'd be more than happy to document the procedure. However, the procedures that are out there are pretty accurate. They just assume you already have knowledge of how your operating system works (windows or in my case, linux). But as I told slugbug last night, I tend to assume people I am helping are novices and try to make things as simple as possible. So if you feel a more detailed explanation would help, I'll work something up when I have some free time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Actually I'm using ziggy's beta right now. I keep forgetting to update my darn signature. :)

I followed the procedure linked to in this thread. Being what I consider to be an intermediate user, the instructions that I printed out were clear and concise. I was not too worried, but would now be, based on reading what happened to slug. I recommend doing what I did. Print out the instructions. Make a nandroid backup (amon ra and clockwork) backed up my sd card and used the instructions for the terminal. Now I have more free space on my phone. Thanks guys for the education.
