Oh. Okay. Right now the current says 58mA.

I'll flash the less aggressive as soon as it's done.

Edit: Nevermind. Post above me got it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Thx I appreciate the quick response. I tried 131 and honestly its the shiznit! Best kernel by far for battery life on my ext 2200mah. Only thing I noticed was slight 2sec hesitations in music with either pandora or PowerAmp. Could be my bluetooth fm transmitter too though (charging it tonight) :)

I just flashed V3 right now and charging as we speak :) I will test this one out and see what happens. Thank you

[EVO 4G Android Development] Hamspiced:
Ok few things i noticed while playing around.

Fresh 3.0.4.1

I ran 131.zip for a while, no issues. battery life seemed, to me, normal.

Ran SBC-Net-4.2.2-more-Havs

Let charge via usb screen off about 3 hours past 100%

Removed from charger within 20 minutes dropped to 50% batt.

Reflashed to 131.zip and charged overnight via usb.

Went from 9:30am to 8:30pm and im at 38%

Decent use all day, texting, surfing the net, and 10-20 phone calls none over 3-4 minutes.

Going to flash the newest version of fresh tonight, reflash 131.zip. then tomorrow ill try the new USB kernel.

Dont want too many variables between flashing if something goes wrong. Need to have a baseline.

[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
When you say you shouldnt see -mA except for one.. Does your battery have to be fully charged to get that? I just DL Battery Monitor from market was at 14% now at 34% unplugged for a few minutes and noticed quite of few -mA. Then after another min or so more positives showed up but random -mA for every 3-4 or so positive. If that makes sense... I forgot to take SS. Thx
[EVO 4G Android Development] NewZJ:
-mA means its draining
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
LOL. Got it.

On another note, I'm at 38 mA now. Looks like it's going down. I'll wait until between 0 and 20 before I take it off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Thank you. Just didnt know if that was normal. Just want to make sure. Still trying to learn the battery side of things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ccossin:
Would using OS Monitor to set profile to "conservative" be helpful in conserving battery?

Sent from my... Who gives a frak?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
One more question I promise. I have it plugged in with that ss above. Why would I see a -mA if its charging? Why would it drain while on charge? Thank you

Flashed the sbc 4.22 havs more kernel. Running myn's rls4. Newest radio versions. 0002 hardware. I cannot believe this kernel.. its effing awesome.

Charged my 3500 overnight as directed. 6 hours later at 84%. Amazing battery life so far. Running it through the paces now. Tethering, texting and making phone calls........

Thanks guys this kernel is awesome.

[EVO 4G Android Development] NewZJ:
your battery is HOT!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
whoa what is goin on there? which build are you on?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Hot? Its been that Temp since I got the battery. Battery doesnt feel hot either actually luke warm at best. Please explain.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Agfadoc:
So far 4.2.2 v3 has been stable w/3500 battery stock rom 3.30

1 hour 4204 100% with a avg of -92mA draw. Still sitting at 4204 though
[EVO 4G Android Development] link00seven:
I know there are a ton of posts here...I went ahead and flashed "SBC for New CM Kernel!!" do I need to also flash the 132.zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Dont think so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
Should I try flashing one of the SBC Netarchy kernels first before flashing the 131.zip file?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
I still have it plugged in while those ss were taken. New one above while still on charger.

[EVO 4G Android Development] NewZJ:
37.7-38.5c is 100-102f maybe your temp sensor is giving false readings or your actively maxing your processor, mine doesn't get that hot unless I'm watching hd videos in rockplayer
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Whats avg temp... I usaully run 245/998 oc widget. Light to mod usage on phone. But lowest temp I had was 34 using battery indicator pro
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
Nope, no need to flash 132.

Each one of those builds is its own kernel build. You only need to flash one
[EVO 4G Android Development] SouthernEvo:
Running Myn's 4 , 4.2.2 v3 , live wallpaper running and so forth took over an hour before it dropped to 99% . I think I will be sticking with this setup for a while LOL .
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
Thanks!! Gonna try this out tonight :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] NewZJ:
avg temp depends on ambient temp, if phone is idle it will be room temp, in 70f room with heavy charge and idleing I don't think it would hit over 90f
[EVO 4G Android Development] link00seven:
Thanks for clarifying! Looking forward to seeing how this works out. When there are new updates, how will I keep updating? Is that when I'll flash the individual build numbers? And for you guys running CyanogenMod...what "kernel" shows up in your Settings -> About Phone page? Mines 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod lcastillo@ubuntu #1 - so I'm just hoping that it took (I didn't look at what it said before I flashed this).
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohtc:
Im running cm and my kernel says the same thing.... I also don't remember what it said before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Do you think the less aggressive kernel will be out tonight? I was looking forward to updating my rom with it tonight as well as a few other changes but I don't want to unless I can put the less aggressive kernel in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TruSlide:
Whats the likely hood that his new sbc kernel, being as great as it is, degrades the over all life of the battery?

Running Myn's 2.2 RLS4. Just flashed the sbc 4.2.2 havs-smartass
[EVO 4G Android Development] zerowonderboy:
Is there a 4. 1. 9. 1 cfs nohavs version of this because my Evo seems to do better on that kind of kernal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
OP #1 kernel #132
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
Dont have a 4.1.9.1 yet. Just 4.2.2 and 4.2.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
yes, running 95 but haven't seen the trickle advantages yet as i am pulling it off AC and i still see a drop
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
You can flash it if you want, but you'll get some screen tearing :(

update: Getting closer..I thought I could edit the charging directly a while ago, but that was just the power supply >.< now I have gotten to the set_charging directly and set in code to turn it off when it equaled 1 and 2. While typing that and testing it, i found out that it reset once I unplugged and plugged back in, but now I got it to keep doing it while its plugged in!

So...in theory I should be able to reverse taht code and we should have some insane charging with the screen off!

Now having said that, I now see the option to knock out 2 birds with 1 stone. Im going to set my voltage regulation right now. If I can get it to respond that regulation we'll be able to see +4.15V off the charger and support for extended batteries.

edit2: and I may have seemed silent (or just a tad bit) today, but thats because I've literally been working on this and nothing but this since I woke up till now. Glad to see things going my way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Fantastic :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
thanks for the update, and i don't think is complaining since we all figured you were in fact working on knocking this out
[EVO 4G Android Development] sd2649:
I wanna try!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
You wont want to try the build Im on right now. Im settting 90% as the new 100% and im gonna try to trickle charge on 90%. The reason Im doing 90 is because A) my battery was already at 85% on boot up and B) If it works on 90 then I know for a fact it'll work on 100.

And I went with % regulation on this one as opposed to voltage for some odd reason...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
f~ck yeah! we have trickle charging for screen on/off! Now I have to change the power supply when set_charging = 0 and we'll be all good (so that the battery percentage will update, if it doesnt update, then i'll only be able to control the trickle charging by voltage. I want the option for both) expect a kernel in a bit, I just hopped out the shower to post this.

Also, Im gonna need my extended battery users.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sd2649:
I'm ready! Extended batteries in tow!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
I swear that was the quickest shower....I'm pumped up! Will be posting in less than 20.

Ok, idk how im gonna approach this yet I did find out that I had a standard deviation on the values I wanted. I set the cut off value at greater than or equal to 90 but it charged over to 91, then cut off and went down to 89 then cut back on >.<
[EVO 4G Android Development] sd2649:
But my phone shows 100% at 4.08 volts... will it get me to 4.15 being you are basing charging on percentages now??
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
I'm not sure...with my logic on how this works, the reason why your phone shows 4.08V is because it can actually charge up to and maintain 4.2V but because how the charger is, it drops you down to 4.08V which isnt that bad for us using 1500mah batteries, but sucks donkey balls for the people using extended ones. This build will keep you at the voltage you are at while its fully charged. I did some aggressive voltage regulating on this one. Phones will be warm after using this, but they will in fact be full. Just set a really low CPU frequency for when its charging, that should help out a ton.

Download here

I havent even tested this out yet, just the 90% one and that one worked for sure. Ive maintained that 90% for a long time too. So we'll be testing this 100% trickle charge together.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NewZJ:
/cry won't have my extended for another 2 weeks

this new build safe for 1500 users?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
It's safe for everyone. All the phones can and do charge up to really close to 4.2V, the problem though is that they all drop from 4.197 to 4.0V overnight, which is what destroys the extended batteries but only hurts us a little. With this we will all maintain a charge of atleast 4.198V. They may not be our actually battery voltage but we will maintain that, which will keeps our phone charging and keep us at 100% both percentage and voltage when we first reach it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sd2649:
Sweet, flashing now. So what needs to be done about getting the extended batteries up to voltage?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
Well when charging the voltage already hits at the most 4.198V on the majority of chargers. Thats just the charging voltage, not the battery voltage. most of the time after 100% the voltage drops to something as low as 4.193V and when its doing that, the phone is no longer charging yet it still shows that voltage. I've removed that, so when the phone voltage drops, you'll see it. Now with this latest build when the phone hits greater than 4.198V and its at 100%, charging will stop. The moment the voltage dips below 4.198V, charging will start up again. So with this build, it'll maintain that voltage. Now Im here's the only thing im worried about: what happens if the charger itself cannot reach 4.198V. I have to watch my phone while its sleeping now and see the highest voltage it reaches while sleeping, then I have to make that the limit, I just used 4.198 as default. my phone itself has never reached that point tbh. I think extended batteries get that high though, so you'll benefit a lot from this one.

The limit should be 4.192V...now I gotta change it soon, Im gonna see what happens with it being on 4.198V though...
[EVO 4G Android Development] sd2649:
Ok, flashed and charging. I am at 25% now, so it will be a while. I am guessing I shouldn't leave this alone and go to sleep, lol?? If I see the hewn light, do I know its not going to explode? What should I look for?
[EVO 4G Android Development] HTCRALEIGHFAN:
when you see the light...pull cord and throw towards the enemy.

sorry no clue...lol!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
Well odds are that I'm gonna find something I dont like about this charging and will change it in about 20 mins. Im already making changes right now. Im not gonna make it check for the full value, im gonna make it check for 99% because I know that it will charge over to 100% and drain to 98% before it charges again. And I need to change the voltage regulation. So just hold on for a bit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sd2649:
Ok, charging up anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Same here haha

will see how it does..

i dont really have a problem with battery life thou...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
ahhhhahahahaha this is one of those times where i wish that i couldve thought of something like that
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hamspiced:
I second the not wiping. I only wipe cache or dalvik when an issue pops up. Then i usually wipe and reflash.

not had a major issue (read: bootloops) with any of these kernels tho.

I will say... DO NOT flash a battery Percent mod with a 3.7.0 rom... Just wasted a bunch of time because of that...
[EVO 4G Android Development] typeadam:
I just noticed a major problem. At work when I downloaded this I bluetoothed it to my phone and flashed it. I came home from work, hooked up EVO up to my computer, my computer recognizes it for a second or two and immediately disconnects. And in my notification bar, the ADB icon and USB icon both show up and disappear automatically. When I try 'adb devices' it says none connected.

Connected through my PC, the phone will not charge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
sounds like you are having issues with the USB being recognized, do an xda search for that, there are some commands to get it back, otherwise you might want to restore a NAND just in case. Otherwise, it seems isolated to you at this time
[EVO 4G Android Development] typeadam:
I just realized it won't charge through the stock phone charger either. I use the same stock HTC charger at home and work. It was charging fine at work about 5 hours ago. I just plugged it in, the charge light comes on for a second, says it's charging and suddenly the light goes off and the battery goes from charging to in use. Also the Batt Widget says discharging even though it's plugged in.

Is there any chance this could have somehow fried the part of the phone and/or battery that allows charging?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cb7tuner93:
Flashing latest for sense now, Will report back.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
Flash back to another kernel and see what's going on. Or turn off the phone and see if it charges. Or just wipe dalvik cache or somethin
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
more than likely your USB is acting up but i don't think its fried. search for the USB won't recognize in XDA

Edit: here is the link linky
[EVO 4G Android Development] typeadam:
OK, when I reboot the phone and plug it into the normal charger, it does charge. So that's good.

But, when I plug it into my computer again, appears and disappears and does NOT charge through USB. THEN if I plug it BACK into the stock charger it DOESN'T charge unless I reboot it.

Something in the USB is acting up.

Let me nand and see what's going on..

No still having an issue. I tried the USB fix and nothing.

Again, the phone charges through the charger but once I plug it into my PC, adb and usb icons come up for a second and they disappear. Also, Vista makes the sound that USB has been connected and immediately disconnected.

Before I restore my backup though, the SAME thing is happening in Recovery! I plug the phone into USB, the computer recognizes it and immediately disconnects! Should this affect Recovery as well? I'll try restore to see if that helps...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
Is that with you being on the charger right now? If so, AC or USB?

Yes that is right. I just didnt change the name in the .config file. But it is non havs

better than 131?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:

I was also at 100% at 9:57cst now at 91% at 9:58cst. Which is an improvement but it was still -mA when charging.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SouthernEvo:
Personally I dont see how it would really be that much of a difference when you weight things out . In one hand you have a kernel that is keeping the battery at a full charge through trickle charging . In the other hand you are charging your battery all the time eatting up life time cycles . Personally over the life of the battery I think you are gonna see they will end up pretty close to each other . Granted the kernel changes might degrade battery life over time but hell . The EVO has batteries all over the place for the thing , ebay alone is flooded with offical HTC batteries and chinese knock offs . Either way you look at it they are easy to come by and not that expensive . I say let use the kernel and get the most enjoyment out of your phone . In my eyes its like me owning a vette but only allowing myself to put 5 gallons of fuel in it at a time , if you can afford the vette you can afford the gas LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] typeadam:
I just restored my backup w/ the stock CM kernel and it works.. So I assume it's this kernel that's causing this... :( Sucks b/c I was really looking forward to this and reading everyone's posts I was hoping it would work! Maybe I could try the kernel that causes Bluetooth issues since not everyone has them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Pretty sure all the 4.2.2 cfs builds still have smartass gov. It isn't set as the default anymore but its still in the kernel. I'm using 4.2.2-more and have it set to smartass.
