My kickstand broke in 1 use. -_-
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saltwater Hero:
Mine kicks out on its own now. Any flexing at all of the case and the kickstand pops right out. I'm sure it will break here in the next few day. I'm a lil frustrated that I have to be careful when putting my phone back in the holster or the rubber comes right off. This should not happen with any RUGGED style case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ariel7978@gmail.com:
I still have my ZAGG screen protector on my phone and had the oil slick too. The baby powder trick got rid of the oil slick.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
Nope, number one rule of forums is READ. missed that one did ya?

Plus, whats this "cross-posting" you speak of? methinks you made that up :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Accessories] LoungeLizard:
Between the rubber coming loose on the sides whenever you touch it and the POS belt clip, this thing is going back. I am glad I got a little bit of a discount. My first and last purchase from Otterbox.

sent from my Warmed Up HTC Evo
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
mine fits perfectly, nothing comes loose when you press the rubber..Awesum case..Trident going on ebay, unless someone here wants it!
[EVO 4G Accessories] ClevelandWheeler:
I have heard both ways, ether you get a good case and love it or its crappy and you hate it. I should have mine this week and I hope mine is a good one. It my first otterbox case so it needs to make a great 1st impression.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saltwater Hero:
One great thing about this case is that I can holster it with the screen facing out..latley I've been just leaving it facing out now. I don't have to worry about the rubber edges coming undone now.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
My kickstand shattered today. Called them. Getting refund.

Great case, sh*tty kickstand. It's like a lover with a great body and an ugly face - you wouldn't mind sleeping with them, but you don't want your friends to see you out with them either. the rest of the case works and I don't really use the kickstand very often anyway, but I just can't stand the idea of going around with a broken case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
yeah, that kickstand is a POS; surprising they would put such a ****ty one on a premium case..they should have just made a cut out so you could use the one on the EVO, or, spend another 50 cents and make a better kickstand...

oh well, awesum case otherwise, isnt it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
Sir, i've seen no less then a dozen posts with nearly identical content. give it a rest. we get it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
my inside shell hasn't been clicking "closed" properly, so I called them today, and they are sending me out a new case, (supposedly)

good customer service, if it actually shows up!

still waiting on mine, usps said it shoulda been shipped today so I should see it after thanksgiving now...lol wounder if I will get the free stand they are giving away?

Hi,

how much free RAM do You have on official 3.14 WWE ROM?

On previous, official 1.66 WWE ROM I had about 160-170 MB, but on 3.14 I have only 105-115 MB free!

I have only CHT 2.0 beta installed, on 1.66 ROM I had CHT 1.8.5.

Is there any way to fix it (besides downgrading to 1.66 ROM)?

Share Your free RAM figures.

What do You have installed and running in background? Do You use CHT?

T-Mobile HD2 is a different animal, so it cannot be compared to "normal" Leo.

Either way I am using 30 MB more than both of You. I am starting to wonder why...

when you will install the latest 3.14 stock Rom, your actual spl version will be update to the 3.03.0000 version automatically (as long HSPL is removed)!
[Epic 4G General] storytobetold:
(I'll preface this by saying that I am well aware there have been a million threads about this, I'm sure, and I'm even more sure that there will be a million more. And I have searched, and searched, and searched some more, and I still feel the need to post this question. Flame me if you want. I'll use the flames to heat up some tea, or something.)

I bought my phone last Thursday, it got lit with service Friday. I went over the weekend and into Sunday with stock ROM/kernel, and decided to mix things up by rooting my phone and using the MixUp kernel to see if I could get better battery life.. and it didn't work too well. I mean, life went up a bit, but not noticeably so (maybe twenty or thirty minutes?)

After that, I flashed Syndicate, which had Xtreme Kernel. I calibrated the battery as instructed inside of Clockwork and went with it for Tuesday.. took it off the charger at 8:00 and it died around 4:00. Kept the same kernel and flashed Epic Experience and the attached JuicePlotter shot is where I am at right now.

My usage today has been light browsing and that's basically it. I've got the processor underclocked to 600 with SetCPU, and JuiceDefender and Superpower have been preventing any data from going on when my screen is off, and for the last two hours I've been listening to MP3s using the in-built music player.

This makes me cry considering there are people on here saying they're able to get much more life out of their battery, even with BT and WiFi etc. I'm aware that each phone is different and all that, but still.

All that said, is there a problem with my phone/battery, is this par for the course with the Epic, or should I just stop whining?

Thanks in advance for any help/insight.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
A couple of things...get a task killer app so that you can kill the drm process which eats up a ton of battery, calibraing your battery takes 2 or 3 times going from full charge to zero and also, since its a new phone it takes charging to full and letting it get down to complete zero a few times before you will see better battery life no matter what else you do

Edit: oh and also definitely do the airplane mode toggle as well
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Also, for each new Kernel you flash, you have to calibrate the battery.

Charge it to full, boot off, boot up in Clockwork, go to Advanced and Clear Battery stats. Reboot the phone, use it until it runs dead and shuts off, than plug it back in and charge it to full with the phone on.

Every time you flash a new kernel, you have to do that process so the battery calibrates to that certain kernel.

Also, try Baked Snack, it gets the best battery life for 2.1 ROMs.

http://www.bakedsnackshack.com/source/

Download Bakedsnack1.6 and Step 2.

Make a backup.

Wipe data/cache

Install 1.6

Boot the phone up

Reboot into clockwork

Install Step 2

Boot the phone up.
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
I have to have a car charger if I go anywhere. This phone dies so fast with normal usage. Do anything crazy like turn features on, surf the web, or increase brightness, and I am lucky to get 2 hours. I have multiple batteries, both have the same result.
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
2 Hours..? Whaaaaa? Lol.

When I calibrate my battery, I turn EVERYTHING on, screen brightness all the way up, Pandora running, every widget I can fit on my screens set to update at their quickest setting, screen set to 30min (Though I never let it shut off). Bluetooth, GPS, 4G running (I don't have 4G here, so it just keeps searching, which drains it more than if it was connected). And running the Maps Live wall paper to use GPS.

When I do all that, I can't get it to even die under 4 hours.

Hopefully you were exaggerating with saying 2 hours lol.
[Epic 4G General] storytobetold:
Thank you guys for replying!

Sh0wNuF: I killed the DRM service today and used ATK to kill errant processes throughout the day today to no avail. I also used the airplane mode toggle to try to limit my time without a signal.

SemiGamer: Thank you! I did do the clockwork step as I said in my first post, but I will try to install BakedSnack and get back to you guys as to the battery life.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
From the looks of that juiceplotter graph, your data is constantly on and destroying your battery. What is the point of having juicedefender if the data is constantly on?

If you set up the phone properly, and there are a MILLION threads on this which state a MILLION times to disable DRM and toggle airplane mode as a mere baseline beginning, you should lose at most 1% an hour when the phone is idle without a data connection and the screen off.

Now it looks like you probably have the data on constantly with emails rolling in, facebook auto updating every 5 minutes, weather checking every half hour and other things that are just destroying your battery life. If you need your phone to do all that nonsense, then you will be crying for the rest of the time you have it.
[Epic 4G General] storytobetold:
Thank you for your reply, but as I said in my first post, I was using both JuiceDefender and Superpower to make sure data was off in the background, and as I said in my most recent post, I did disable the OmaDrm service as well as enable/disable Airplane Mode to lower my TWS.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Thats fine, but your data aint off. Look at that graph you posted. Every little blip is either data being accessed or the screen turning on. The line should be smooth if there is no data and no screen on.

So there are two options, either you are constantly using the phone and its the screen killing the battery, or you have juicedefender set up all wrong and its the data killing the battery.

If I remember correctly, any spike below the line is data, either wifi or 3g and any spike above the line is the screen turned on. So from the looks of it your data is literally never turning off and you are checking the phone and turning the screen on and off pretty frequently.

What are your settings in juicedefender?
[Epic 4G General] storytobetold:

[Epic 4G General] MLHickey:
I have almost identical batter results as you. I do use the phone fairly often to send messages but the screen brightness is all the way down and I use set cpu on the froyo beta leak. I reset battery stats and also (perhaps you could look into this too) checked spare parts for any rogue programs. Does yours say the screen takes up most of your battery even if you barely use it?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I would up the Schedule to less often and turn off the traffic toggle. Also, I wouldn't doubt that your phone is never going to sleep. If you have spare parts check the Battery History. If you listen to music with the phone, the service started by the music player, CorePlayerService, keeps the phone awake constantly for me. I ended up making a simple kill music widget using tasker to fix this issue.
[Epic 4G General] jocala:
I bought a wildly overpriced Samsung stand/battery charger from Amazon. My wife & I each start the day with a charged Epic and a spare battery. No worries :-)
[Epic 4G General] storytobetold:
Used BS 1.6 w/ step2 kernel today. MUCH better battery life but my phone was acting just a bit wacky (locked up and required batt. pull twice or three times)

Not the biggest fan of the aesthetics of the ROM.. but I'll live.
[Epic 4G General] MLHickey:
When you say much better battery life exactly how much? My battery dropped 20% today while not being used and Display was still at 60% (I turned the alarm off twice). I'm running the Quantum ROM which could have something to do with it but the battery is horrible for me. I can't get more than 8 hours and that's if i barely use it. I have spare parts and no apps are partially waking it. Just Wifi and sync. No GPS, brightness all the way down. The main thing that bothers me is that display is always #1 even if i don't use the phone at all. Any thoughts?
[Epic 4G General] Despiadado1:
I've ran both Quantum and Viper Froyo roms and aside from making my phone hot enough to fry eggs, the battery life was not good.

As far as battery life goes, I'll start with the obvious stuff.

1. Turn off GPS, Bluetooth and 4G. 4G is a complete power whore.

2. As for wifi, turn it off unless you are in a bad coverage area for cell data. If you are connect to wifi and set Spare Parts to never let wifi sleep.

3. For DRM there are 3 files you need to remove that will prevent it from running / reinstalling and they are DrmProvider.apk, DrmUA.apk, and SisoDrmProvider.apk.

4. Toggle airplane mode every single time you reboot without fail.

For a true test of whether your phone simply needs to be returned as "defective" you should wipe the device, dont setup a google account and let it run for a day after executing steps 1-4 above. It would be best to an apk for Spare Parts and SDX Stock App Remover on your microSD that could be installed using My Files. If you still have problems take the phone back to sprint (after restoring it to factory of course) and tell them it is defective. :)
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
Camera on the EVO made me cry, so bad i switched to the Epic, I deal with the battery buy purchasing 2 batteries and a charger on ebay for $9. now I have three batteries. I had like 4 batteries for the EVO
[Epic 4G General] storytobetold:
Here's a JuicePlotter graph from today for comparison from my original one yesterday.

I still wonder if it wasn't going to sleep because of PowerAMP and I didn't underclock today like I did yesterday.

There are a few other physical issues with my phone (slider seems a bit loose compared to my other phones: if I swipe with slider closed with a bit more pressure than usual, I can feel the screen move up and down; screen seems to slightly come up a bit when phone's tilted a bit, taps make you feel the screen go back down) that also made me want to consider exchanging it on top of the battery issue but if I'm getting good battery life I don't think I'll mess with what works, unless anything gets worse.

I just got my Droid 2 today and was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on preventing wear and tare and battery life. I rooted and now I'm looking for a good rom that runs 2.3.20, I'm looking for stability and usability, any suggestions?

Oh and theres a little blue tab sticking out from the back of the keyboard, it doesn't look like its supposed to be removed, am I correct?
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:
LOL @ the blue tab thing. Yes, its supposed to be removed. Just like every other electronic device nowadays has plastic covering it to be protected whilst in transit to its final destination (you). The blue tab part of that plastic is just that. A tab to help pull the rest of it off.

As for a good stable ROM, check out Fission in the development section. Its fast and the people in charge of it have a vast knowledge of the operating system on the phone.
[Droid 2 General] wyzzerdd:
The only reason I asked about the blue tab is because when I tried to pull it off it was much stickier and harder to pull off then the rest of the clear protectors which made me think "hmm maybe I shouldn't pull this off".

I'll try fission, thanks for the reply
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Droid 2 Information Directory:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=791227 (just so you can read up)

Fission is pretty stable and uses 2.3.20 but just look around in Droid 2 Android Development and you'll find ROM's read what they include and the comments will show you how stable they might be read and decide what your needs are and which one will do the most for you. (Or give some more information about which stock apps (if any) you use and like to give us an idea whether you need a Fused* type of ROM or something else).

*Fused is a Fission based ROM that includes lots of Blur for people who like the Social network stuff or need the D2 email app for business exchange email purposes.

I noticed some Kernels have different issues with wired headset.

Headset cuts my voice during voice calls

Auto dials and auto pulls call log

Headset button doesn't work

anyone notice strange behavior with your headset plugged in? Lets make a list of issues to make it simpler for devs to find a solution.

Any solutions? (one is to use stock kernel which is linked in this thread)

Post your issues with wired headset and please note which kernel is acting up. maybe we can combine code from different kernels to make one that works. (I noticed that some kernels have one issue but not the other)

Thanks for all your support and great work everyone is doing on the Epic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Isira:
Yes, I noticed the behavior between different kernels (using stock ROM). I know for a fact that with Xtreme Kernel, it disconnects my calls whenever I plug in my headset. The devs say to use only with ACS ROM, but given that the kernel is the bridge between the hardware and software, I doubt the ACS ROM would fix the issue.

I forgot what happened with the other kernels. I settled with Pheonix for now at the conservative governor (interactive sometimes leaves the CPU running at 100MHz and wont ramp up).

Seems we wont be getting any fixes for a while. All the kernel devs are having too much fun playing with Froyo. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] lucifermoh:
Glad I am not the only one! Lets see if we can work this out! Using your phone without headset will give you BRAIN CANCER! Plus its more convenient with a headset when I have to deal with clients.

[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
I can confirm that wired headset handling is kind of fubar in our community kernels. Samsung had made some bugfixes between DI07 -> DI18 versions, but those changes don't appear to have been added to the DI18 source code.

Have any of you tried using the stock DI18 kernel to test this? If it works properly, then we have to cross our fingers and hope the issues don't persist in the kernel shipped with Froyo - as it stands there's no way to know what changed to fix this stuff easily in our community kernels.
