[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hookguy:
I've managed to get a reasonably good battery life by changing to shubcraft 2.0 and upgrading my SD card to a 16gb class 6. Previously had a 2gb now I'm getting 3-12ma on standby - not too bad.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] totochiro:
Hi all,

I have a question about this battery life.

With the latest version of Android builds, do we really needs CeT CPU ?(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419), Or the battery drivers allready do the same job that this Cet CPU?

And, the most important, do you know if we will need it for the Nand, which seems to be coming quite soon...?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hookguy:
It is claimed that you don't need set CPU for the newer builds but I still use it just in case.

Also when nand gets finished you should still use set CPU because it helps maximize the battery you've got.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] totochiro:
Yes I think that there still might be a little difference, I nearly stay the entire week end with my battery, for the first time (without using it to much):D
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
Hey all,

Another question from me. I want to change the boot screen of my ROM. I have been able to change my splash screen. But now I want to do those two things here:

- I want to replace the orange "Windows" screen

- I want to remove the HTC Animation and sound

Thanks!

MadMatt
[Windows Mobile] NIKOSXRI:
1)To remove animation, just disable the animation package (HTC animation)

2)To remove sound delete the HTC-QuietlyBrilliantBoot.wav file (in operator package folder) or replace it with a no sound file.

3)The images for the orange screen are inside the runcc package.Try to replace them with same size and resolution images.
[Windows Mobile] Wild Child:
Orange Windows Image is located in a couple different places...I guess you would have to search your kitchen to find exactly where it has put them,but in mine they are in:

SYS: Redist_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_800

OEM: OEMDrivers

EXT: RunCC_1_2_1_0

Search your kitchen for these names:

welcomehead.192

RunCC_default_bg_480_800

RunCC_default_bg_800_480

You may also want to change these items to match your replaced images

All runcc_progress-XX files located in runcc

All PB-X files located in oemdrivers
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
Thanks I'll try it :)
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
Thanks for helping and I tried it out, but now the boot screen displays very (don't know exactly how to say in English) "compressed" on the bottom of the screen :s This happens only in first boot. In second and later boots it just works :)
[Windows Mobile] NIKOSXRI:
Maybe this happened because you did not do a task29 cleaning before.
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
And that is? :) Sorry, I'm still learning ;)
[Windows Mobile] NIKOSXRI:
Task29 makes a format in your phone and clean all the files from previous roms.

Otherwise these files are cleaned only if you hard reset your fresh rom.

Thats why I think that previous files were not all deleted and thats why after you hardreseted your rom the picture is fine.

This is for my phone htc hd2 I dont know if there is any for your phone.
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
Thanks, and how can I perform this while flashing? Can I build that in in my ROMs? That would be great :)
[Windows Mobile] NIKOSXRI:
Well I just tried it and for me works fine.

I attach my photos to compare with yours.

You must take care the run cc photos to save them as progressively compressed.I done this with irfan view which is a free program.

Welcomehead.192.png is the first part of the runcc process and can be a different photo as you see in my files.

Welcomehead.192.png and Runcc files can be 480x800 and not only 800x800.
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
How do you mean, save as progressively compressed? Can you please tell me how I should save the files. The save options are quite advanced for some extensions...

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile] NIKOSXRI:
In Irfan view you open the image you want and when you click, >File, >Save as and you select the jpeg option, then the possibility to save the jpeg photo as >save as progressive jpg, arises.

I dont know if this is really needed but the original run cc files are saved this way.
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
Thanks! I hope this helps. My HD Mini is charging now, preparing to be flashed! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jephyb:
My neighbor has an Airave installed in his house which my Evo is picking up the mobile signal from. Because of the many issues I encounter while I am on that connection (not receiving texts, not receiving voicemails, lag during calls) I do NOT want to be connecting to his Airave at all. I've tried "update profile" and "update PRL" while outside of the range of the Airave, however the problem persists once I enter the vicinity of it again.

I have tried the PRL hack by using Verizon's towers, however that is an unacceptable solution. I have also tried contacting Airave support in hopes of a blacklist option for the Airave, banning my number from connecting but unfortunately there is no such feature. Does anyone have any recommendations or solutions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
I don't know too much about the Airave but I do recall hearing it has a blacklist option. Maybe speak to your neighbor and ask him to block your phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
There are different types of femtocells. I would recommend speaking with your neighbor, finding out what type of device he has, and volunteering to perform the necessary research.

At least one model Airave does allow you to prevent specific devices from acquiring signal, but I don't know the model number, or if they all permit this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Put a thick metal wall between your house and his. Also, if his signal is so bad that he needs an Airave, doesn't that mean your signal sucks as well?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jephyb:
He recently moved in and I remember having no problems with my signal before hand. Maybe his phone just sucks with reception, who knows.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
Talk to your neighbor, post your results. You should be able to blacklist your device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadiestone:
How to stop logging into your neighborers Air-Rave.

Ask your neighbor “Has you internet connection been slow? When he says “yes” tell him that it's the Air-Rave. Tell him with every cell connected to his Air Rave it slows down his internet speed. Ask him if he has set it up to be restricted access? Basically he is providing a free cell tower for Sprint. They don’t tell you that it can be restricted when they give you it for free. Tell him to call Sprint, get to technical support, and tell them you’re having issue with your Air Rave. They will transfer you to Air Rave support. They will walk him thru how to do it. Once he does that if your number is not on the list … no connection. Problem Solved!

How do I know this works??? I was the neighbor with the unrestricted Air Rave and my internet speed was WAY down.
[EVO 4G General] d12bn:
So I'm looking at buying a EVO and wondering about battery life. I have a Hero and can usually make a day without charging. Stock rom, wifi on, not many calls, checking email/facebook frequently and some internet surfing is a normal day.

How will the EVO battery match up?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
When I first got my EVO the battery life sucked. I probably got 6 hours at most out of it. Now with the way it's set up it lasts well over a day, which is much longer than my Hero ever lasted.
[EVO 4G General] Ezintn:
My experience so far is Evo is much better except for calls. Calls seem to eat battery real quick.
[EVO 4G General] HUSKERS:
It is the exact same battery and uses much more power(bigger screen, 4G, .....) But does have more ROMS in the future and updates always help battery life.
[EVO 4G General] ImmortalLuD:
I had two Hero's on my plan, and now two Evo's...

The phone will eat more battery when the screen is on, and you are browsing the internet, (especially with 4G turned on), but otherwise, I seem to get better battery life than I did with my Hero's! :)

Rooting and flashing a ROM with a decent kernel will usually give better results.

I've had mine on today for a little over 13 hours, with full screen brightness, live wallpaper, and 4G on... I could never achieve these results before.
[EVO 4G General] shui147:
The hero got horrid battery life I had to carry 2 spares to last a day ...but I use my phone a ton my Evo lasts just thru the day ....

Batteryleft on my Hero projects 46.47 hours under full charge. It's my daily business phone. Running 2.4.0 from flipz. OC widget under clock to 246 when screen is off.

On my EVO, I took batteryleft off the phone. It is what it is. It doesn't charge the battery right, sometimes I'll unplug and it'll drop 3 % pts. I attribute it to the supplier wanting to limit G access, wanting to hype and spin about the "First". But it does make Iphone users quiver (mostly due to their ignorance), with the big screen and Hulu.
[EVO 4G General] edscholl:
my wife went from a hero to a evo, and battery life appears at least as good.

as a nice bonus though, the hero battery works in the evo so you can carry that as a spare while trying it out.

My older Evo hardware 0003 used to SUCK.. Im talking 6-7 hours with medium use..

Then I got a newer 0004 hardware Evo.. I don't think it changed a DARN thing with battery, but my battery surprisingly is lasting a good 8-10 hours now..

But I don't care, I got the extended RED BATTERY from ebay, for 20.00 bucks.. Comes with a new back (not the UGLY Siedio back either, its smooth and conforms perfectly, plus it has the same feel)

Now my battery lasts about 2 days.. plus you don't even notice it bigger really and IMO since a phone is for well.. A phone and not a show off toy (even though I actually think it looks better with the bigger battery) I want to have a long battery life :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musiccontrolsus:
I've had my Desire (Bravo) for a long while now and I've been using the LeeDroid Rom's ever since Froyo was released and T-Mobile weren't forthcoming with a 2.2 of their own.

I've recently recieved an OTA from what I can only assume is T-Mobile with their 2.2 release.

when trying to install it, it had signature errors. I then disabled Signiture auth in the clockwork recovery settings, then it had assert errors.

i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong or if i can actually load this OTA rom at all?

I guess my question is.. how easy is it for me to return my Desire to stock? I've been having recurring issues with downloads and updates from the market refusing to download successfully etc and its starting to annoy me.

Whilst waiting for this reply i'm going to do a full wipe of my phone and install the LeeDroid 2.2f_A2SD to see how that goes.

Many thanks to any of you that help/suggest.

NOTE: yes i have looked at the unroot section in the guide in this forum but I am not completely savvy with the Goldcard thing. (I've never had need to use one before)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You can't install OTA updates on a custom ROM, they are only applicable to stock ROMs

To go back to stock, download this RUU and just run it with HTC Sync showing connected on your PC:

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe

Once done, you should be prompted to get the OTA updates. This WILL wipe your phone, mind
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musiccontrolsus:
Many thanks Eddy, This clears it up a little for me. Though I'm abit apprehensive to do this as i hear some RUU's disable the ability to root?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmupi152:
you cant get ota updates if your phone is rooted.

in order to get your phone back to be not rooted you need to install using RUU.

but I dont recomend on doing that, because if the ota update was importent enough thay would put it on the next rom, just download a new rom, maybe AuraxTSense

For some people, custom ROMs just aren't that important - me being one of them

Sooner or later you will be disappointed, as froyo doesn't solve the low memory problem at all...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musiccontrolsus:
eh? what low memory problem? Froyo is much faster and stable than the 1.6. the 1.6 suffered if you have more than 3 apps open. froyo only seems to suffer once you have more than 10?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remmyhi:
Agree, but not comparing 1.6 to 2.2.

Saying "disappointed" I thought about the 135mb available to install applications on Desire - try to install Navigon, some Gameloft games and you are done.

Thing is that although having Froyo a2sd the memory is shrinking very fast.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musiccontrolsus:
ahh yes, I agree with you there, though I do beleive you should be able to set a auto install to SD if available. you can get rather large if abiet expensive SD cards nowdays so should alleviate those problems.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheik_yerbouti:
But not all apps can be moved to the SD card through FroYo A2SD. It depends on where the developer of the app wants it to be. But with A2SD+ available on many custom ROMs, all user apps will be installed in the SD card.

Hello everyone

I'm having an issue with not being able to install a particular app, angry birds. The problem is that during the original install my evo decided to take a **** and which left a half installed program.

Since then every attempt to install despite the version gives the following via notification:

Angry Birds Installation unsuccessful.

This error is pretty generic and doesn't give me much help. Is there any log file to which more detail is written to? I'm thinking that I will have to manually remove all of the files that were installed. Does an adb have a control file the same way a deb or rpm would that I could pull this from?

basic info:

Evo 4G

android version 2.2

kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e htc-kernel at and18-2 #11

Basic sprint ROM, not rooted

I'm trying to avoid having to flash to get it installed but I know that would work.

Any help would be appreciated

Try installing a monitoring app and see if your init process is hitting the CPU hard. I haven't heard from any other mt4g users with the same problem, but lots of.desirehd users have it.

I also have seen my suspend process eating 50%+ CPU when the phone is locked/screen off. Haven't found a fix for that yet though.

I've also gotten into the habit of restarting my phone once a day, right before I take it off the charger in the morning. I've turned off quick boot, which I read somewhere in the forums can affect battery life. It's been pretty good the last few days. I'm at 68% now off charger for 9.5 hrs with moderate amounts of wifi, web browsing, email, and 3G network usage.

yes the battery is lame...but this is a known issue with HTC...the 3.8 screen drains a lot of battery also the constantly searching for HSPA+ and 3G...

I do notice when screen is off....this phone still drains battery !!! bad =(

left over night at about 65% left in the morning I got red blinking led saying phone is below 10% .... 50% gone!!!

I think restarting the phone after a full charge is a good idea....also maybe turn off quick boot?

*update* yes I found that when you have a bad signal and it's jumping between E and H ... this eats up battery

also installed Advance Task Killer (for froyo) this helps~ now from 8am my phone can last until about 4pm getting about 3~3.5hrs more life

It depends where you live.

If you get a good antenna signal, your battery will last.

At my apartment signal is low, so phone is constantly between UMTS and GPRS, plus phone is trying to hold H, so that drains the battery.

between -101 dBm and -107 dBm (where -110dBm is the edge of the signal/loosing signal)
