[EVO 4G Android Development] Sweetlittlehugs:
So I flashed this rom last night. Charged my phone overnight as usual. Took my phone off the charger at 6. Its now 8:30 and my battery is at 8%.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Did you do anything else? Mods? Did it actually charge? The rest of your setup will help too, ie kernel, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sweetlittlehugs:
When I took it off the charger it said 100%

I flashed the pink theme but no other mods yet, I haven't changed the kernel.

Between 6 and 830 I made a 30 min call, checked 2 news apps and sent 2 text messages.

GPS has been off, wifi was on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Been away for a while what's the deal with beta 4.6 what changes? What's new? Can someone shoot me a link.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstn76rs:
Just click on Mik's sig. 4.6 is a basic stock looking rom just optimized. I'm currently waiting for more mods and themes for it. It's odex or something like that so we have to wait for mik
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Hmm...Well I'm not sure then. I did have that happen to me one time with one of the Myn ROMs, but never tried to really figure out why. That was also when I first started flashing ROMs and I knew absolutely nothing, now I just so next to absolutely nothing :p, relatively speaking, to all the other guys/gals in here.

Did you happen to check to see what was using all the battery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
My initial flash of the ROM had similar battery draining results. It was not the ROM but a combination of a couple little things that caused it. Since we do not know your set up I will give you some general ideas.

If you are using ClockWorkMod as your recovery everyone in this thread would recommend that you switch to Amon-Ra. You can get the link to the image in my sig with instructions on how to install it. For giggles I would also redownload the 4.5 zip package. Once you switch to RA I would recommend do a full wipe, clear cache and dalvik. And reflash the ROM.

Once you do that I would downgrade the PRI from 1.90 to 1.77. Again, there is a link in my signature to download this. When you go into the recovery to flash this you should clear cache and dalvik again before flashing this update. In the same session you can flash the pink theme. I would clear cache and dalvik again before flashing this file.

Finally, Sprint has a nice support article in regard to the battery life. You should go to the Sprint support site and follow the tips in the article.

If you are still having issues after that you might want to install OS Monitor and Battery Monitor Widget from the market so you can monitor what your phone is doing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
Yes, 4.6 is a further optimized odex version that looks like the stock software. You can download it and give it a try at themikmik.com if you would like.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ibcenu:
There was a commercial when I was a kid, that would have lyrics something like....

Anyway, the thing with Mik. He does do it better! Amazing, simply amazing.

I've tried other roms, but mik's is like an old shoe (meant in a good way) no matter how many you try on, theres always the pair the feels best.. go Mik!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sweetlittlehugs:
According to the battery info the "android system" used 45% of the battery.

I'm using amon and I never upgraded to 1.90 because of issues I herd of. I will try the recomended apps. I'm not saying I ever got awesome battery life but this is a drastic reduction.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Any fixes for the HTC tasks widget?

Mine is still cutoff at the bottom....

Thanks all.

[EVO 4G Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
downloading this rom :) cant wait to try this out :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Check this link out that I posted a while about about battery stuff. And also the stuff mdixon said is good as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
You should always flash radios by themselves. I would do the theme seperately afterwards.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Still nothing for 4x5, sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I'm not using an ext3. Weren't you talking about the apps in .android_secure?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well in one of the posts someone mentioned something about the android secure folder, mentioning that angry birds was there. I was just replying to the post that you said something about not being able to find your apps with a root explorer. Anyway, apparently what we had here was a failure to properly communicate. :p

It's all good, my .android_secure folder is empty even though I have the setting checked to show hidden files and have angry birds installed. I was just curious what other apps went to that folder and why. I thought it was mainly used for the froyo version of a2sd? :confused:

Ah well not too important.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
It is used for froyo a2sd and mine is empty even though I know I have some apps in there (including angry birds). I thought you found where they were. No biggie.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well figured out how to see what apps you have in there. You have to go into recovery and do a usb toggle and then you can see your secure folder. The only app I have in there is angry birds. Going to check now what it does if I mount it as disk.

EDIT: You can see what's in there that way as well, maybe this isn't news to anyone but me. :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgipson:
I searched the thread but didn't find anything, what is or what does the * Sprint Hotspot/USB tether hack (my port based on vaelek port to claks work)" do. Does it mean we won't get charged for using Sprint Hotspot. Thanks

And by the way this is the smoothest most responsive rom I have tried yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
Thanks, I'll take a look at it a little later. Still on same charge from Saturday night, btw, left wifi on on purpose today, and still am not below 20% battery! Will post some screen shots later! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
No, it means if you DO pay for the hotspot, you flash that and it removes the "hack" that gives it to the rest of us for free...

Edit: It comes for free with the ROM... You only flash if you already pay for it..

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
That is correct, mik hacked the sprint hotspot so that it's usable without having to pay sprint. I think it doesn't work for 4g and the wireless tether does or vice versa, can't recall. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: Aaron beat me to it and apparently I didn't read your post correctly. It comes with the ROM hacked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Good to know, thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
You are correct that sprints 4g wireless tether doesn't work... But its WIRED tether that has a problem... But if you want 4g wireless tether we all use "wireless tether" from the market and I don't use wired tether but id imagine "easy tether" would work just fine...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yeah I would use wireless tether as well. I don't even get 4g in my area :(, yet, anyway so either way would be fine for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I use wired tether and it works fine on 4g. Don't think you can use it at the same time as wireless tether though.

Edit: I'm talking about the app "wired tether", not the built-in USB tethering.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I don't get 4g either :-( I have the hotspot widget just cause its easy but I also have wireless tether... Its just dependant on what I feel like using and whats faster at the time...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgipson:
Thanks for all the quick responses. I wanted to use it but I thought I would get charged by Sprint if I did.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
To make it perfectly clear, you will not get charged. It won't work on 4g though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
Maybe I got lucky. I flashed the radio with three other zips. Everything has been solid. I did make sure to clear cache and dalvik before each new flash, though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
Yes, themikmik.com is going to be his new site. It just has a links page for now, though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Did it got to another screen anter rebooting but before the ROM? I think when updating radios it goes into a different recovery screen between rebooting and the ROM. Maybe double-check the new radio stuck?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
Has been running fine since I did it back last month. It did not go to any alternate screens upon reboot. Just a little longer than normal boot but was all good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
You did not say whether you did a full wipe of user data and cleared cache/dalvik. I think that would still be my suggested starting point.

Also, from guys that have been doing this longer than myself and I am sure know better, it is suggested that you flash the radio seperater from anything else. In case you decide to reflash the 1.77 radio too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ibcenu:
Netarchy kernals & set cpu question

Do they not play nice any more?

I was on mik's awhile back running both just fine. Now when I add 4.3.2-cfs-havs-more

then I set up set cpu.... phone runs fine, but will not boot at all? Did I miss something or am I doing something wrong... thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
How does your phone run fine if it won't boot ? :confused: If you're stuck on the white splash screen, it could take a full minute or 2 before it goes. Or try wiping cache and dalvik.

Edit: Maybe your SetCPU settings are messing with the boot (if it's OC'ed too high). If that's the case then try this from the SetCPU thread:
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Everytime I try to update profile or PRL my screen just goes black....

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Oh they SO play nice together! I run set CPU and nets sbc more... And they play very nice together... But I have no boot issues so I can't help...

Edit: If ur stuck on white splash for longer than 2 min then just pull the battery and try to restart as normal and see if that works...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
So don't update :p. I've had issues updating also. It's hit-or-miss and I don't really get why sometimes it works perfectly and others it takes forever to do nothing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sweetlittlehugs:
I'm a little ocd so I wipe everything before I flash anything, I also never flash more than one thing at a time. I'm going to try a different kernal. Should I start over and reflash the rom or can I flash a new kernal with just a full wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
When I used it, it was fine also that's why I figured maybe he OC'ed too high and set it to boot and that's why it may not be booting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
If you just want to flash a kernel then just wipe cache and dalvik then flash it. Do NOT full wipe to flash a kernel or you will have no ROM.

Edit: If you want to start fresh, follow this guide by mitch: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10985680&postcount=8440

[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Not gonna lie I read full wipe and didn't even think about him losing the ROM and everything else... So seriously... Good catch

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sweetlittlehugs:
Right, don't use format all. :-)

Thank you for all the information
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Thanks. It just popped out at me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
If you mean calkulin's format all, it has been recommended not to use that even if you do want to wipe fully. Sometimes it causes issues. Instead, use Amon_RA's recovery and wipe all manually (as per mitch's guide). Either way, good luck and keep us posted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
That's only with an hour and a half of up time...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...

Yeah I saw that too but, of course, jade beat me to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Is this with the stock battery?? :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Yup it is... But I've been lookin for my ballistic case to buy and I'm down to 34 now... Using it just destroys it... It's like -560mA while in use

Edit: 1 hr 50 min of up time and at 34%

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Ya. When someone figures out how to make it not eat battery while screen on, he's gonna be a celebrity.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Hell yea he is... I just don't understand... I played on the internet for 20 min and lost 10%... That's just outragous... And OS monitor is set at 691-245 and screen off is 245-128 so its just sickening that I still get that kinda drop...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sweetlittlehugs:
I'm actually a her. :-)

When I say full wipe I just mean all data/apps.

I flashed the new kernel but I keep getting a notification about android process media force closing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
Okay aaron, I'll piss you off now :p

My phone has been off charge since Saturday night. Nothing has changed since I posted my screenshots last night. For ****s and giggles, I decided NOT to charge my battery last night (stock oem batttery my phone came with), and left wifi on on purpose today to see what the hit was with it searching for a signal all day. When I went to bed last night around 1am, my phone was at 49%. When I got up for work this morning at 6am, phone was at 47%. Before snapping these pics and uploading them to my dropbox, I was at 13%. I do not use any task killers, or Juice Defender, or any other so called battery savers (I used Juice Defender in the past, but my phone never seemed to get emails during the day, and it took forever for it to either reconnect to wifi or the data network).

Running SetCPU with Max 1152, Min 245 Conservative, Screen Off Max 384, Min 245 On Demand.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
And the rest...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Se but you only had less than 2 hrs uptime... I'm a heavy heavy user...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
In almost 2 days, your screen was on for under 2 hours? Kills the stats a little, sorry. Still impressive but you didn't really use your phone.

Edit: @aaron Lol. We must be on the same page.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Sweet little hugs... Woulda never guessed you were a girl ;-)

[EVO 4G Android Development] TREmp77:
Also, he had a pretty normal drop of battery when using it...your first picture was at 5:46 and at 11% then at 5:53 your last picture your battery was at 7%...4% drop in 7 minutes. Thats just about the battery life that I get (maybe a little worse)...and I dont like it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
Yeah, I didn't use my phone a lot today. Usually when I am home, I would rather be on my laptop, instead of squinting at the Evo's screen. But I usually have 4 hours of uptime on my phone with a charge everynight. Phone is never placed back on the charger till around 10-11pm, and is taking off charge every morning between 6-6:30.

What is your screen brightness set to aaron? Mine is set at maybe a 1/4 to a little less of the onscreen bar. I do not use auto. Screen is plenty bright enough to read in direct sun at that level.

I know you are using a task killer. Are you sure you aren't killing a service that is automatically restarting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Not sure about that FC error. If it keeps up maybe just do a full wipe and reflash.

p.s. Not so many "hers" around here, welcome! Guess we gotta keep it clean now ;). Behave guys :D.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
In that time I was taking those screen captures, and uploading to Dropbox, so it put a tax on the system pretty quick. Also, I have noticed that under 25%, the battery seems to drop quicker, then say at 50%.

To be honest, I have been playing around with an Atrix for the past week. Wanna talk about some nice battery time, and oh yeah, some really fast hardware :D Unfortunately, its tied to a crappy AT&T network with abysmal hahaha 4G speeds (I am in Baltimore which has the 4G switch turned on, and can't even get 1MB downloads). I won't even talk about the capped 300kb uploads. So much for 4G :p The higher res screen is nice, but after using the Evo, the 4" screen just seems small. Can't wait to see what the Bionic's qHD 4.3" screen is like. And oh yeah, the major knife to the heart, MotoBlur :eek:

We need this mod modified to work on mik's rom. I miss seeing 1x when im actually using 1x.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Yes, I too have noticed SetCPU causing reboots if the OC is too high or if some profiles disagree with your phone's hardware. Symptoms are the phone rebooting as soon as the lock-screen appears and data sync completes, that's when SetCPU finally loads and causes the reboot.

That was a great tip on the safe-mode thing, I missed that!

BTW...This morning, I had Myn Z-Port loaded, went to work and phone battery was dead at lunchtime! Man that thing eats battery juice! And I had my favorite kernel loaded on top of it!

I sure hope Mik's themed and optimized version of the Z-Port shows me more love for my battery! In the meantime, I am waiting paitiently and have nandroided back to my beloved MikFroyo 4.5 and am sure the battery will be fine tomorrow:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
Wow, thats CRAZY battery time! And I thought 2.0 was going to be even more battery friendly optimzed. Of course, this Z Rom is actually made for our phones, so its sorta like a Frankenstein. Still though, I was playing around the other day with the Inspire. Sense 2.0 is sweet!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Heres an update on my battery life situation. Flashed back to prl 1.77 and life seems good again. Running nets 4.3.1 sbc havs less. No setcpu or anything else for that matter. Getting the pos ma charging after 100% like it should. Pulled phone off the chg last night at 11:30. With mod to heavy use thru the day, didnt charge again till after 3. Nearly 15 hrs, much better than the 6 I was getting. Id say a mixture of all the advice you all gave me last night did the trick. Thanks everyone. When I get to my computer ill catch up on the thank yous.

I made some other minor chgs as well, will update with those once I get to a computer.
