I'm on cm7 #14, 0004 evo and I used bfs latest non sbc kernel and unplugged today at 8am with 100% then by 1:42 pm my phone was dead with light to moderate texting. No wifi or GPS and my brightness is usually pretty low. So that was with bfs. A Guy told me to try cfs latest gb non sbc and once again I had 100%, no usage at all in 20 mins it went to 90%. I'm not a genius but I don't think its sleeping. When I check spare parts it doesn't show partial wake usage or anything that would grab my attention. I love you guys work by the way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnnychimpo:
Yep new kernel working much better on 0003. Thanks! Evolution hardware version 0002

Sent from my rooted Evo...duh.. MIUI rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rain91:
I'm running the same ROM; latest kernel does have the USB mount fix.

CM 6.1.2 w/wimax-alpha2
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Very odd. No one else is reporting this issue. My phone sleeps without a problem. I'm on CM7 build 13
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Very odd man something had to be draining it, something is acting like a zombie and killing my batt. I'm going to let it run again since I just pulled it off charger I'm on the cfs non sbc still.I will let it run overnight and report tomorrow. Fyi I'm using the savagedzen setting on set cpu clocked at 1190 mhz no screen off profiles. Thanks for responding man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hckyplayer024:
I have similar issue, my battery is draining excessively quickly. Im on build 14 with BFS SBC. No random reboots or anything of that nature but my battery is draining like crazy. I checked spare parts and found nothing unusual. I've only been wiping cache and dalvik when flashing nightlies so maybe thats the problem but Ill try with a fresh wipe later tonight
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Are you overclocking as well?

[EVO 4G Android Development] thedarksavant:
I'm not saying you are not having problems, but if you are not using an SBC kernel then even though you think you unplugged at 100% there's a chance you unplugged at 90%, so you lost no battery in 20 minutes.

Without SBC, the first 10% of your battery indicator is pretty much useless.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
I have a battery percentage widget so I leave my phone on at least 15 mins past 100% so I know I'm not pulling off at 90%. Plus when I'm rocking the. 35 default kernel(yesterday) my battery lasted at least 15 hours moderate usage. So in pretty sure its something going on. Also I've never ran a sbc kernel on my phone so I kinda know how my battery should act/last etc. Lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] hckyplayer024:
No overclocking. Kernel is naked (no setCPU)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
I think you both should post logcats so the devs can look at it. There may be a similarity in the hardware you're using (like your 0004 with Nova screen) or something similar.

Could be a bug that few people have. Just a suggestion.

[EVO 4G Android Development] JasonK75:
I'm having the same battery drain issue too. I'm on CM 7 nightly build 14 and using the new kernal that came out today (SBC cfs gb) and after barely any usage it was down to 30% after 4 hours. I rebooted the phone to see if that helps and go stuck on the splash screen. Had to do a battery pull and reboot into recovery and delete both caches. Even now, I just dropped 15% in 12 minutes of XDA app use.

It looks that cell standby and phone idle are causing the most drain to battery. I would do a logcat but never done one before so I would need some instructions on that.

Going to band back to stock kernal for now...I'll keep an eye here because having these two powerful kernals come together is an awesome thing!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bwcorvus:
If your not running an SBC kernel, you should pull your charger off the second it hits 100%. Once it hits 100% it stops charging. The 15 minutes you are leaving it on, is actually using your battery. I know this doesn't help with your problem, just a little advice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
Using the new 004 Froyo kernel with CM6 6.1.2. Normally after a day or so bfs kernels slow down for me, but this is the fastest I've ever seen my phone work. There's none of the input lag I've normally gotten with bfs kernels. Scrolling is VERY smooth.

Also, using a live wallpaper is not slowing my phone down like it has with cfs kernels. I'm getting my hopes up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JasonK75:
Another new glitch. The wimax was flashing that I had a new email, but when I hit the power button to bring up the lock screen it would do nothing. After awhile the phone rebooted itself?? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Please try the following and let me know if it works:

CFS-SBC-FROYO: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13857065/Savaged-Zen/CFS/Savaged-Zen-V003-CFS-HAVS-SBC-WiMAX - Froyo.zip

CFS-NOSBC-FROYO: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13857065/Savaged-Zen/CFS/Savaged-Zen-V003-CFS-HAVS-NoSBC-WiMAX - Froyo.zip

GPS is a known issue in CM7. What's wrong with Bluetooth? Other users don't have a problem with it and even one of our devs connects to his car via bluetooth without any issues

I'm noticing a trend of battery drain issues on CM14. I am on build 13 and I have no drain issues. I'm actually seeing the best battery life ever on this build. I also suggest you consider overclocking less aggressively.

As you know CM7 is still in nightly status so while some builds may be great, others may not be so great.

See my post above

I recommend using SetCPU to set it up conservative. Something is failing in out script where it is not setting the governor to conservative and we are looking into it. You will see a faster drain with on demand which is default now

Like I said a few posts above, the users reporting the battery drain issues are all on build 14 so something tells me that it may be an issue with build 14. I'm on build 13 and I have no battery drain issues, my phone sleeps just fine, and I got over 12 hours yesterday with heavy usage (flashing kernels, over 2 hours of display time, 15-20 minutes of youtube, heavy texting, gmail and tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
I will take your word luis because when I was using the 0002 bfs on build #13 cm7 my phone got me from 8am to 5pm with HEAVY use so I too am starting to believe its #14 cause I flashed it first thing in the morning and that's when it died by 1pm with light use. So I'm going to believe its a bug in cm14. Thanks for the fast responses. But with this kernel and ALL the nightly builds I am having to wipe cache and wipe dalvik to get rebooted properly so I try not to reboot my phone at all lol. I do have the nova 0004 I think someone above me mentioned this so I'm saying it again just in case.
[EVO 4G Android Development] paranoid android85:
pretty cool, i was unaware savaged-zen had a setting on setcpu:D what is the difference from the other settings?

*nm found it. minimize wakup issues
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
New Build 1/27

Head over to our download mirror: http://mirror.munkibizness.com/

0.0.3 -> 0.0.4

- Numerous tweaks to BFS (should smooth out scrolling issues for *some* people), tweaked dirty_ratio/dirty_background_ratio, and minor CFS tweaks to increase responsiveness

- Adjusted Savaged-Zen gov to minimize wakeup issues

- Reverted THP patchset

- Reverted Classic RCU

If you don't see all the builds try again later in the day. I ran out of time to do the last two

Known issues:

1- Bluetooth issues with MIUI. Right now we are working with Bigrushdog from the MIUI team to get this fixed ASAP. Stay tuned as we make progress!!

2- File transfer speed via USB. This is an issue that's happening to all 2.6.37 kernels (seen in the desire and Nexus One forums in XDA). We are actively working on getting this fixed ASAP. As a workaround, you can download a third party app from the market called Multi Mount SD Card. This will bring the normal speeds we're used too
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
I'm loving the new bfs have SBC froyo kernel so far. This is literally the first bfs kernel that has worked well after 12 hours. Jury's out on battery life. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Yeah Brandon put in some good tweaks. My phone has never been a fan of BFS until this build
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Luis is it possible for a kernel to increase 3g speeds because call me crazy but on the stock. 35 cm7 kernel in my room the 3g isn't all that maybe about. 54 kbps and when I use you guys' kernel I get 89 kbps to almost 1mb. I swear i haven't changed spots and yes I know my service in my house is terrible lol. But I get better speeds oddly enough.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
Yeah, people have seen that to be a side affect of 4g compatible kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] phyba:
I decided to run this kernel without setcpu as my phone was sluggish. I tried all governors and got the same results. Now my phone is quick and battery is great. Think ill stay away from setcpu for now
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
what version of setcpu were you running? What ROM? Also, were you running BFS or CFS? I am using SetCPU and it is not making my phone sluggish at all
[EVO 4G Android Development] INebilim:
Your phone might be sluggish because of the screen off and on governors as well as the underclock you put it on. I noticed that SavZen governor is really sluggish upon waking up but fine afterwards. to avoid any wake up issues you need to set the min freq to 422. when i has mine on 384 i kept getting reboots regardless of what governor i had it on. the driving governor i found to be the smoothest is either conservative or smartass.

of course theoretically, smartass is supposed to make all SetCPU profiles obsolete

and like Luis said it could also be BFS vs CFS
[EVO 4G Android Development] phyba:
Using cfs and had screen off set to 245/245. But its running great now. Using this with miui rom and havwnt had a reboot or FC yet. So ill stick with a setcpu'less phone for now lol.

Kernel is nothing short of a masterpiece. Best also kernel I've used since savage 1.6
[EVO 4G Android Development] phyba:
I guess I could try smartass with no profiles
[EVO 4G Android Development] qubanaso:
CM7 AlphaV9

what kernel do you guys recommend for this version ive tried 002 havs but i get FCs off the bat
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Masterpiece...I like that. Thank you for the great feedback

You should download the latest version which is 0.0.4. According to most users it is very stable
[EVO 4G Android Development] thedarksavant:
I'm running v04 BFS for GB with SavagedZen scaling and 245 min, 998 max. I've had no wakeup lag at all with this new version. Nothing short of buttery smooth so far.

Also no profiles. Just let'n the guvna do it's thang.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brokentoaster24:
for me, all versions have run smooth.. until the first lock up. i've experienced freezes on 002, 003 and 004 that make my phone all sorts of not happy. i've tried bfs and cfs. i'm running #15 cm nightly.

anyone else have this problem? I've wiped dalvik in between flashes and freezes hoping for a fix but it doesn't seem to help
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
That's unique, do you have BT or wifi running or anything when it happens? Could you get a log cat or if it reboots do a cat /proc/last_kmsg ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Which is the 0.0.4 kernel that was updated on dec 31st? Is that supposed to be 1/28?? I do see versions 0.0.4 1/27... whichone is the good one lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
They're all correct lol, not sure how those got the date of December 31, 1969
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Thanx bro! Lol, i was like wtf haha i thought i dl the right one, good deal man thanx!! I downloaded the dec good o 69 one :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Haven't had bt or wifi on, but I did change wifi to never sleep. I'll try to replicate the results later and pull a log cat. I'm at work currently and need my phone functional :p

You've made the world's first time traveling kernel. Let's see Snap beat that one. :-P
[EVO 4G Android Development] paranoid android85:
Thank you! This is the first bfs sav-zen that likes my phone!
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
battery doing bad so far im letting it die first

cleared battery stats

flashed kernel

phone was rebooting a lot around 6 hours off charger (cm7 13&14)

went back to cm7 v.0

charged it to 81 around 448pm

now its at 12%

background isnt on

GPS isnt on

just Twitdroyd

Collin's update is running.. an while im typing now it just restarted on me again (cm7 v.0)

an again restarts at 6hours

Edit: battery jumped to 15 when it rebooted itself

should i just clear everything an start new?

heres my LogCat

http://www.mediafire.com/?r0hlv1wyf2hemin

went back to cm6
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Collin's update? Are you referring to Collin's battery tweak? If so you shouldn't use that with this kernel. This kernel has HAVS and it is known to cause issues with Collin's tweak
[EVO 4G Android Development] busties:
Is there a fix for the lockscreen on miui? I have to touch my screen first to even bring it up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
I'm using v004 BFS with the Savaged-Zen governor, no profiles, and my lockscreen works perfectly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] busties:
I thought they said we have to use the froyo kernels on miui.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pastert33:
That's correct.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Is savagezen governor best one to use with the 0004 kernel on miui? Seems to fix the lockscreen issue.

Miui and Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
So I tried all different governors and set the minimum speed to 422 on setcpu and still get the lockscreen issue on 004 bfs no sbc on miui. Any ideas as I really like this kernel.

Miui and Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] js417:
same here but no biggie im sure it will get fixed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MarkGbe:
any chance of getting a no HAVS kernel, no SBC, CFS kernel?

Thanks for the great work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
So now I have no lockscreen issue set on ondemand and have minimum at 245. Weird. Maybe it just has to settle in a bit.

Miui and Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
This is an issue that's been happening to the epson panels. We are investigating the problem and will try to get it fixed soon

This works for some users. We are still investigating as this only happens to epson panels

That's in our plans. We are looking to automate our builds because right now we have 8 kernels. Adding a no HAVS version will add another 8 so it is a bit of overload (developing the kernel, responding to forums, compiling, packaging, signing, uploading, etc.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
I'm not sure which panel I have, but I had that issue on each kernel of these I tried till the bfss 004 one. For some reason it did it the first few times now it must have settled in as I am not getting it anymore. Weird

Miui and Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] MarkGbe:
sounds great. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
ok ill try it later without the collin tweak

is that why is was restarting between every 5:45-6 hours off charger?

i actually sat in front of my phone an waited around 6 hours off charger

first time as soon as i turned screen off went back to turn it on it froze i pressed the wake button 2-3 times then it restarted back around 5:45 hours off charger

did a battery pull to restart it

an did my logcat help in any way?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrDSL:
Thanks for letting us know about the screen issue on epson panels..its happening to me but the battery life etc is so good now I am dealing with it..

thanks again for all the hard work!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
I have been running v004 for over 24 hours and have not had a single reboot. I suggest removing the tweak and wiping dalvik and cache twice. Also set your WiFi policy to never

Thanks. Another user reported that if you use the screen on animation on CM7 this won't happen
[EVO 4G Android Development] NyghtGT:
I got really stupid when I flashed to v4 and forgot to reflash my cm nightly and screwed a lot of thinks up...went back to a nand of cm11, and flashed cm11, flashed v004-bfs-nosbc-wimax, been up and running with no random reboots, no issues, and only secks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
Which 004 though? Which one you have? An should I let my battery die first?

So its stop tweak

Reboot to recovery

Clear cache

Battery stats?

Flash 004

Reboot

Let battery die

Charge battery is that it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
Which ROM are you running? if it's CM6 or MIUI, then use the froyo version.... If it's CM7 or Evervolv, use the GB version. SBC will give you better battery life, but make sure you INFORM yourself about it.

The steps you detailed above seem about right, just make sure you WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE, BOTH of them.

I hope this post helps, let me know if you need more help
[EVO 4G Android Development] BIGWORM:
Anyone else having market fc on them while running 004 on cm7 latest nightly? I was using the cfs gb nosbc version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
nope... clear the market cache, i dont think it's kernel related
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
thanks im flashing cm7 build 17 as i type

im going to wipe dalvik an cache TWICE just to make sure

flashing cm_supersonic_full-17.zip

an Savaged-Zen-V0.0.4-CFS-HAVS-SBC-WiMAX-GB-signed.zip

u didnt say battery stats so i didnt

im going to restart it afterwards

let it die

sounds good thanks hope this works
[EVO 4G Android Development] paranoid android85:
i didnt think flashing a rom with kernel was necessary. i do when a new nightly is out, but if i want to just switch kernels i just flash the kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
i would, flash the ROM, reboot, then go back into recovery wipe both caches and flash kernel... just for safe measure, that process never gives me a problem

as for the battery stats, wipe them after you let your battery die
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
crap i already wiped the dalvik an cache im sitting in recovery about to flash rom

we need IMs lol

ok ill flash reboot an still clear it just incase an flash kernel like u said
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
So spoke too soon....still getting lockscreen issues with v4...on miui....tried all suggested steps and still getting it.

Miui and Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
It's fine that you wiped caches before flashing the ROM... it prevents problems, I do before I flash every nightly....

Let me know how it went
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
Oh ok i did it before an after .Well battery is dying pretty fast I stooped it at 90 an went out my door been 15 minutes I'm at 79
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
Are you running setcpu by any chance?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
Negative I never do an I didn't use the Collin tweak either I did what he said an I guess I failed
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
you could try setting up a couple of profiles..

screen off - 245-422- conservative

battery <101% - 245-998 - interactive (you can try different ones)

SetCPU is free for xda members, i didn't know that so i bought it lol

have you checked for possible wake-lock issues?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
Really? Didn't know that an I haven't tried any of those at all I'm going home to get setcpu an Install it an how do I check my wake? I dud select phone sleep in spare parts
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Definitely use SetCPU and change your governor to conservative, smartass or SavagedZen. You can check your wakelock by going to spareparts > battery history > select partial wake usage from the dropdown
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
in spare parts go to battery history and from the top pulldown menu select 'partial wake usage'... then check for an app that has unusual partial wakelock (too much blue, lol)
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
Well not a lot of blue everything seems fine in there
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I tried version 0.0.2 (I think?) on CM7 nightly #11 and had the weirdest issue. I tried waking my phone up but it wouldnt wake up. Not even the bottom lights turned on. I knew it was on since the Wimax light was flashing. I had to remove the battery and I also wiped both caches so the problem might go away. It worked great for a couple of mins but then it happened again. Im not even overclocking it. Ill try version 0.0.4 in hopes this went away
[EVO 4G Android Development] Decimation:
Question

When you say free to XDA members do you mean developers or members in general?? How can I get a hold of it??
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
i believe members in general, like i said i bought it before i heard of this... you will have to look for it in xda (i'll try to find out exactly where)

EDIT:

here's the thread <<<

Like i said u can get it for free, but I encourage you to show support for the developer, of course that's if you want/can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] paranoid android85:
beat me to it;). yeah i strongly suggest buying this app in the market. its only $1.99 plus you get regular updates
[EVO 4G Android Development] Decimation:
Fair enough, I'll donate to the cause. I noticed in the release notes that it doesn't mention gingerbread compatability. is it safe??
[EVO 4G Android Development] paranoid android85:
yessir. the only app so far ive had problems with is quadrant. enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
it's safe enough, lol

seriously tho, i have yet to experience any problems in CM7 due to SetCPU
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
Using setcpu battery dying fast still might just go back to cm6
[EVO 4G Android Development] paranoid android85:
Have you calibrated battery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
i dont think so

show me the green pastures on the other side plz
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
maybe try a fresh install?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BiddingWar:
did twice still acting like a ex wife

Factory Reset

Recovery

Cleared Dalvik an Cache

Flashed ROM first

Reboot

went back to Recovery

Cleared Dalvik an Cache

Flashed Kernel

Reboot

check Spart parts wake usuage

nothing wrong (not a lot of blue)

did not use Collin's tweak just SetCPU

set up a sleep(screen off profile i made) was between 245-384

"Battery <" 100% 998 max- 245min

checked "Enable"
[EVO 4G Android Development] paranoid android85:
You should calibrate your battery before you go to sleep tonight. Fully drain your battery until your phone turns off...leave it off, but connect it to the charger over night then in the morning before you turn on go into recovery wipe battery stats then reboot and your battery should be good
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tenny:
I upgraded to the CFS SBC build today (.04) and my Wifi wont' turn on... flashed it twice cleared the cache / davk... :(
