[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quocamole:
+1

i've tried almost every ROM available (literally) and it boilded down between baked and evio. i'm still switching back and forth but am leaning towards evio as it has more tweaks (dalvik moved to sd, haptic feedback removed from dialer and lockscreen, ability to remove sense and htc lockscreen, awesome notification icons, clear htc lockscreen, debug icon removed, reboot/recover option when power button is long pressed...). calk also seems like he's on the ball more.

as far as battery, i think the kernels will help with that more than the ROM. i swore by baked #6 for battery life, but am test driving king's #6 CFS and i may have a new kernel i'll recommend for battery life. i was dropping about 5-7% per hour on average daily use with baked #6; i'm currently averaging a drop of 3-5% per hour with kings #6 CFS. if you're a benchmark guy, i'm also getting higher linpack/quadrant scores (at lower frequencies to boot) w/ kings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:
I cannot find BS #6 anywhere. I have donated on the baked shack and never got access, so the only time I saw #6 was at install. I will try King 6 cfs right now. I have also heard this before.

I was on Fresh 3.3 and once I flashed NA 4.1.9, I kept losing my Sense homescreen option. Two fresh installs and same thing. I moved to BS 1.8....Hero and those guys removed all traces of BS from this forum and you can only get access to any of it from their site, which they drag their feet letting people in....Hence me looking to move on past BS.. and their BS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quocamole:
hero did not pack up and leave... he was booted by xda (i'll reserve my opinions about the matter).

try sending them a message through their webpage. i had to do the same after a couple of days of no response to my donation.

how are you liking kings #6 cfs?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:
Booted from here...hmmmm, can't imagine why. I finally got CFS 6 flashed about 10pm and went to bed. I woke up at 7am @ 85%. It was like 98% when I hit the bed. Charging to full now and see how it does today.

Anybody in the UK try this yet?
[Captivate Android Development] scott2ride:
I have used it. But Im In New Zealand not UK.

Seems ok

But after downloading the 129 meg setup file it then ends up downloading more files to complete the setup.

It took a LOOOOONG time to download them.

I have a reasonably fast connection and the 129meg took 2-3 min to download. The rest of the stuff it downloaded took about 45min to an hour. So I suspect it is fricken 10GIG. Either that or the server at the other end is very busy and slow.

[Epic 4G Themes] muyoso:
$10 dollars a month and they STILL show you commercials? That is beyond ridiculous. You can get an entire netflix subscription for less with zero commercials.
[Epic 4G Themes] wrich73:
Update on this..this app is well worth 10 bucks if you like to watch current shows (Glee, Family Guy, etc.). Being able to save the shows to your phone is sweet! Quality is fantastic (running CM 6.1 official) and the app scales with Restoggle.

I caught up on the last 3 episodes of "Terriers" and am in the process of watching the entire second season of "The League" right now.

It doesn't seem to limit how many shows you can download either and its all commercial free. If this app continues to add fresh content (ie "Justified" in January) to the already extensive list of better-than-basic cable channels, $10 bucks is a great value for being able to save and watch directly from my EVO.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ogkhaze:
Hey XDA,

I have a Sense ROM installed, but I would like to change out the notifications for email, messaging, etc - to the Vanilla icons, such as the smiling message bubble.

Is there any easy way to do this? Where would I push the files?
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
After a couple days of normal use I started getting frustrated that my battery wasn't lasting very long and that Android System was consistently the top entry on the battery use screen. Time for some investigation.

I got adb working and logcat revealed that my phone was doing a lot of network location fixes. One would trigger every couple minutes even when the phone was sleeping.

I turned off network location and the results are stunning. With two hours off the charger so far this morning, my battery still says 100%. Cell standby and Phone idle are now my top battery use entries, with Android System a distant third.

The problem, of course, is that I like using network location. On demand GPS fixes are slow and do not work in many of the places I want to use location. I want to figure out if the G2's Android build is just doing location fixes too often of if the problem is really my poor signal problems in most of the places I go. I wonder if my phone is constantly jumping towers, triggering location fixes.

This is where you all can help:

Are you experiencing high battery drain with network location on?

Is Android System at the top of your battery use list?

If you know how to use adb logcat, are you seeing a lot of network location fixes?

My next step is to try logcat with my G1 running CM 6.0.0 and see if it also does frequent location fixes.

TLDR: Turning off network location dramatically increased my battery life. Trying to figure out if the problem is caused by software or by my low cell signal.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Weaseal:
I had this exact same issue on the G1. I heard once that it was related to the GPS running frequently even when the phone was idle. Just disable the network location option and you'll continue to be good to go.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
Is it definitely not a 3rd party app doing this?

I leave network locations on and my battery lasts.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MrOtsKrad:
How funny you bring this up as I jsut did this this morning. However a little differently.

Ive been noticing huge drains. Well, I have the Battery Watcher widget, and have seen the Android System was taking up like 45% of the drainage with things like

VPN Services (huh???)

Google Backup Transport

Setup (again, huh???)

Network Location

Android System

Settings Storrage

HTC Checkin Services

Account and Sync Settings

All I turned off was Background data, and for the last 2hrs, my battery has been @ 100%, and Im running both Tweet Deck and Trillian with 3 - 5 accounts on each
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
I don't think it's a third party app because I turned everything off on the few apps I have that use location. I will definitely do some more testing by uninstalling apps this evening to see if anything changes. There is one app I can think of that could be doing this, but it was never a problem on my G1 (or maybe I just expected bad battery life on my G1).

Edit: Wow. At 3 hours and 10 minutes off charger now and still 100% battery. I hope I can find a third party source for this problem so I can use network location and get great battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
Yeah... I'm not using any location-using apps except what was preinstalled, with the exception of SpeedTest. Battery works just fine and I only see GPS if I'm actually using the app. I could do some logging later I suppose to see if it's being used more than I think, but the battery life definitely isn't suffering.
[G2 and Desire Z General] arich:
It's generally well known/accepted that turning off location services will show drastic battery improvements.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
I think there is a fair amount of debate on just how much network location does impact battery. Maybe it's just a matter of what sort of battery life people expect. I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to reduce the battery drain from network location, particularly by reducing the frequency of location fixes while the phone is asleep.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
It looks like network location is very different on my G2 compared to my G1 with CM 6.0.0. While the G2 appears to check the network location every minute, the G1 only seems to do it on demand. On demand makes a lot more sense. Does Google really need to collect where I am every minute of the day?
[G2 and Desire Z General] rUsTyRuSs:
Does anyone know if leaving gps on will render the same (or better) results, while facilitating it's functions on demand rather than random sampling via network location?

I read somewhere that leaving gps on, doesn't necessarily drain the battrery unless actively being used.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
When I leave GPS location on with the phone sleeping I do not see any location activity in logcat. I think GPS location is purely on demand.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
After playing around a bit yesterday, I don't think any apps that I installed are causing the constant network location fixes. That's not to say that one of bundles apps isn't misbehaving, of course. What I have noticed is that while the phone seems to do a location fix every minute normally, additional locations requests will occur when apps are actively seeking the location. It looks like all these requests may not actually be location fixes, but instead simply getting the location already stored in the system. Nonetheless, this is causing CPU activity and draining the battery.

I'm not sure where to go next with this, but am open to any suggestions.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BriEE:
Having this issue as well... android system is in the highest partial wake and when I turn off location services via network, it does it less. So does anyone know why location needs to keep going on and on?
[G2 and Desire Z General] chewy106:
When you enable Use Wireless Networks under Location, it prompts you that it will collect background data for Google. That's why it's a battery drain :(

Curious for anyone on the Sense ROMs - is there a way to get the weather widget to work without enabling Wireless Network Location? I have GPS enabled, and Fancy Widget worked fine with just that, but Sense won't update location w/o Wireless Networks enabled it seems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
FYI, this problem went away for me completely after I did a factory reset a few weeks back. The constant network location activity in the logs went away, and I've been able to leave network location on full time since then with no significant battery drain. The one thing that I may have done differently was that I never ran many of the bundled apps that use location after the reset.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BriEE:
How can I check in logs for which network activity runs?
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
Use aLogcat from the market or, if you are familiar with adb, use adb logcat from your computer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BriEE:
I have both options since I have quick system info and adb installed on my PC as well.

but what exactly am I looking for?
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
I don't recall what the exact entries are, but if you're having the network location problem that I was it is hard to miss. There were log entries that clearly indicated checking the location every minute, even while the phone was in sleep. It's probably easiest to check with logcat because you can let the phone sleep and monitor the log without all of the activity that occurs only when it is awake.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billabond1:
This is not necessarily captivate specific, but how slow does your 3g connection get?

In the evening at home I get anywhere from 2500-3500 kbps. During the day at work I am lucky to get more than 100 kbps. Signal strength is good in both situations.

I know it has a lot to do with network congestion, but at what point is it not acceptable? I sometimes even have trouble making a call during the day.

I am in the city of Philadelphia, so it not like I am in the middle of nowhere... might actaully be better there.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ludeboye:
Any place where I can find some and download it, I cant seem to locate the stock wallpapers included with the phone itself for some reason in my gallery.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] namansell:
They aren't in the gallery if you choose wallpaper instead of gallery after a long press they are there. But any picture will do best resolution from what I've read is 960 x 800
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] masterotaku:
Here's what I do...

1). I install one market app "Wallpaper Set And Save" and use it to set static wallpapers.

2). I create a folder on the internal SD called "wallpapers" and place all my wallpapers here. This is the default folder name that the app expects, so why not...

3). I use Google Image Search. With Google Image search you can find some 960x800 wallpapers (the native resolution of our phones wallpaper), and Google Image Search allows you to specifically search for a precise resolution.

I *ALSO* use Google Image Search and search for 1280x1024 wallpapers and use these as well. Why?? Because 1280x1024 and 960x800 images have nearly identical aspect ratios (1.25 compared to 1.2), so 1280x1024 images work with very little noticeable distortion. Wallpaper Set And Save will also auto-stretch images, so there's no need to manually resize 1280x1024 images. And there are BUTT LOADS of 1280x1024 images on the net.

[Droid Incredible General] tdiman:
I created a 32MB linux-swap partition last week on my incredible. I'm running CM6, latest nightly, and a swappiness of 30 (relatively low). Due to the good amount of internal memory I was hoping that this would just come in to play under high loads.

Overall I didn't notice a speed difference, probably due to the low swappiness.

I did have one major issue though. I keep a lot of FLAC music files on the sd card, and when playing these if the swap file would come into play (as probably happened when streaming bluetooth music) I would get massive skips. Thus, the great swap experiment has ended as I use this feature daily. I have a Transcend 8GB class 6 card, and sd card speed test app confirms class 6 speeds.

If anyone wants to play around, just reformat your SD Card with partition 1 being a large FAT32, partition 2 being either an ext3 (for SD-EXT) or linux-swap, and partition 3 being linux-swap, 32MB should be enough. Use swapper2 (free, from the market) to enable swap (or busybox, if you're so inclined).

Be careful, the default partition for the swap partition in swapper 2 is not your sdcard, and you will end up having to repartition your internal memory and RUU if you don't change those settings.

(another advantage of reformatting the sd-card with the SD-EXT partition, even if you don't use it, is you won't see the annoying errors in ROM Manager anymore).
