I have all the latest updates for radios and Pandora sounds fine!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxassassinxx:
i've heard that flashing the entire update (radios, wimax, pri, nv)

causes the uptime on a lot of roms. i think your best bet would be flash the 1.77 PRI in calkulins thread. ive kept 1.77 pri and NV and my phone is just fine running myns RLS5 right now as a matter of fact. good luck hope this helps man.:p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
Im not having any up time issues. My phone sleeps just fine, its the android system that is taking up over 90% + or my batery usage and its made my battery life crap.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muppetman462:
Hmm...that's odd...I flashed the rom via Rom Manager, did a few optional updates with it, and the only thing I had to do was flash the 132 radio, my phone great, no FC, nothing.....Hell, I should take this phone into the local sprint store to show them how the SHOULD RUN!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxassassinxx:
hmmm well this is my solution and it come straight from netarchy in his thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719763

and ultimately thats really what it sounds like man, flash a different kernal if you really feel the need to do something besides a PRI downgrade, but i firmly believe that myns RLS5 is just fine.;)

try downgrading the PRI and NV then post back worse case scenario you have to upgrade again and that takes a whopping 5 minutes :P
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
My big thing is that my phone is sleeping just fine. If you look at the second post and click on the link you will see screen shots of my up time and awake time which is like:

up time is like 46 hrs or some **** and awake time is like 6 hrs. So my problem is that the "Android System" is taking up 90% + of my battery use. I generally get a little over a day of lite to moderate use out of my battery but since I flashed rls5 its only been like 7 - 12 hrs(not that I am complaining) but I would just like to figure this out. Also some thing else I noticed was that in the spare parts app under network usage the top selection is "0" and when I click on it it just says "process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly. and please try again?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
could this be related to the gingerbread menu upgrade? I have that flashed. Do you or have you ever?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxassassinxx:
i read your post, have you tried downgrading yet. im almost guaranteeing it will improve battery life the new 1.90 updates dont play well with a lot of roms causing ridiculous battery drain. now regardless if it shows its from the android system/networking problem or not im not knowledgeable enough to answer that, but my android system runs at 19% running myns rls5 and the 1.77 PRI and NV updates just saying..you might really want to consider just TRYING it ya know?

um its possible like i said somebody more knowledgeable will have to answer that but I'm pretty sure he will be ok if he downgrades PRI and NV. its not like its difficult or anything :P
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
I dont, or ever have. :-(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxassassinxx:
i think i figured out your problem, its your kernal. i just flashed the same kernal as you and now currently have 90% android system and have horrid battery. flash a new kernal. or keep the one from myns install it seems to have better life than netarchy's

Edit: just saw your sig, dont you know sbc is bad for your battery:P go read up man save it!

REedit: just checked battery stats again my android system lowered back to 32% still not what i had originally with myns stock installed kernal from rls5
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
I love the SBC kernels and have read almost every post about them frying batterys. So I ordered a 3500 and am waiting for it to get here and then I will switch kernels. What is the stock kernel that is running with rls5? HTC kernel 15? Thanks for doing the testing. I have 4 kids and got pulled away for awhile. I think I am going to flash the stock kernel for rls5. Do you think I should still downgrade my PRI? I also hit the thanks button. I really appreciate the time you took to figure this out!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbailey1986:
Let me just chime in here to shed a little light and knowledge.

Your problem is 3.70 base Rom. It's not a sleep issue. Probably won't be solved by changing kernels. Doesn't look like bad battery life since the phone had not been charged for 42 hours, that's almost 2 days.

If you ask me you have what most ppl are looking to get, which is a full day of use and more. Now correct me if I am wrong but how is going 2 days with out charging a bad thing???

The android system high %'s is a 3.70 issue which has affected a lot of ppl on the forum. The issue has several remedies but the easiest is to just reboot directly after charging the phone. Some ppl have said changing the pri back to 1.77 solved the issue, others have said updating their radio solved the issue.

Please give me a little bit more information so I can research more in depth for you...

Edit: Also let me state the facts here, please don't discredit someone else's work by saying a certain kernel,Rom, theme or recovery will damage a device. The sbc was a variable in ppl batteries being damaged and no one has proven that the kernel has indeed damaged their phone. Only here say...

I don't know if sbc is good or bad as the team I am working with are still in the testing stages with no clear answer, which probably won't come for months.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
Here is a link to my original post with screen shots.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908167

I honestly love the sbc kernels so I am showing no disrespect to the dev that put these together. My phone also loves the net kernels so Im not going to change at this point. Once you look at my screen shots from my post you will see that my battery only lasted 7 1/2 hours with lite to moderate use. Also there is another screen shot with the awake time and sleep time. One of they other things I noticed was that in the spare parts app under network usage the "thing" that has the highest usage is "0" and when I long press it to see what it is it just force closes. If you see my signature then you know what I am running.

Myn's rls5

all updated radios

nets 4.3.1 sbc more havs kernel

Please let me know if there is any other information you need that will help you dig in. I am off to bed, as I have 4 kids that have endless energy (boy if we could just bottle there energy and sell it as an energy drink...rich!), I will check back in the morning. Thanks for all your help in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conductive:
There is definately a problem with the rom released 1-7-11.

It will not allow installation of google usb tether program and the file explorer always seems to be working (spinning graphic). I do not think the previous rom had this problem but I can not be sure. Tried other non myn roms w/o problem, retried myn's and reconfirmed that there is a problem.

It seems that he changed a few things and had some sort of side effect.

Somebody should try running ps, ps -aux or top from a bash terminal to see what is really running. A look at the error log would not hurt either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
Interesting that you couldn't install that. I'm not sure why. The spinning I believe you are referring to is where ads would be. Myn added adblock to the role rls5. Most apps with ads (astro,xda, alchemy, etc) will display the loading circle instead. You can remove adblock. Just search the threads.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbailey1986:
Have you tried the reboot right after charging? Also I read some where to go into airplane mode and then turn everything back on. Also when all else fail, not sure how you got to myn's but for the sake of safety do a fresh install of it with a wipe on everything. May also want to try caulk's format all zip.

Try the reboot then see, if that fails fresh install and then see.. let me know each time...

The 0 in spare parts in the android OS and it force close on everyone. Don't be alarmed by that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinetreehater:
I had the horrid battery life after upgrading to Myn's latest and the treo update radio pack. Downgrading my PRI didn't fix it. It was the kernel. I was having random browser fc also.

Went back to HTC #17 kernel and all is well. Try swapping just your kernel.

I know that when I take apart my phone and want to turn thepower on without the button being there, I have to push and hold right in the center of the little button press. You have to get it just right or it wont make a connection. Is the plastic button gone or is the actual electronics inside all messed up? Maybe you can open it up and try to press the button if all else fails.

I know this might be a stupid question, but did you download Android SDK. I think you need those files first before you use ADB then go into 3rd party apps and download the drivers if it does not install automatically. Most likely you'll have to force start the driver download. Mind you I have never done this before. I'm just trying to help.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Curious why you would back up all your apps and data every night? If you have tons of apps it will use a significant amount of battery. Obviously could be your kernel that your running as well, or the modem, or a number of other factors.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Try this. Do a manual backup of all ur apps and data and see how much battery decreases. This will give u an idea of how much battery this task needs. On mine, it doesn't take more than 1% to backup like some 45+ apps and their data.

On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. (It doesn't start...ever and I've done it about 25 times now)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralthirst:
when you install rom manager (the app from the market), you can install clockwork recovery through it. when you install clockwork recovery it puts an 'update.zip' on your internal memory. hitting 'reinstall packages' from stock recovery then reinstalls clockwork. so by reinstalling clockwork through rom manager, it makes sure you have the right update.zip and thus making it able to boot into clockwork recovery. so try uninstalling rom manager, reinstalling, and reinstalling clockwork.
