[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversify:
I am currently 1.6.0 and I love it. the only problem I have is that a couple of games won't install any more. I tried 1.6.1 but it went nuts with constant FC. But I didn't do a factory reset on it before I install it. I read on a couple of forums that the rom does work better if you do this. It did for me too. So I wonder if I should try a higher streakdroid rom for better result.

My question is; what is the best streakdroid rom? Is the highest one the best one or the more experimental one?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Each one brings new fixes and sometimes new issues. I'm using 1.7.0 and love it. I did a refash to stock 309 then upgraded to 318 then 1.7.0 before in did any configuration. Zero issues for me I'm not using the perfmod btw

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archeob:
I upgraded from the stock 1.6 to Steve's 1.6.0 rom a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. It's such a massive improvement that it was worth it to spend a few days reading about it first and risk bricking my phone to install it.

Since then, however, I try to keep up to date with the newer versions and there are so many people with issues like the boot loops, instability, FCs, lost wifi, etc. that I keep asking myself if it's worth it to upgrade. I don't want to spend hours reinstalling everything as well. This is a 400$ device after all, and thechnically it's not under warranty anymore so is the reward really worth the potential risks?

Can anybody share their impressions with 1.6.1 and 1.7.0 versus 1.6.0?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversify:
Thanks Archeob, you worded it better than my what I was trying to say. I love 1.6 too. I tried the 1.6.1 but it went crazy with FC's. But maybe again because I didn't do the factory reset.

So a a list of con's and pro's per rom would be great if available?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeProcopio:
looking for stock camera app from the various roms out there...

stock Inc? Evo? MIUI? and if you could post up pics too, that would be great....

CM, which I'm running atm, uses the stock AOSP crappy camera...yeah it works, but would like a nicer UI....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildland:
I'm interested to see some responses as well - I briefly tried out CM6.1 stable and I thought the photos from that camera app looked better than the Sense camera photos. I'm not too worried about the interface as long as the image quality is good... BTW, is there a relatively easy way to switch out camera apps between ROMs that you know of?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Sense ROMs won't run AOSP cameras, and vice versa. That said, you can download the EVO camera from the Virtuous section of ROM manager. IDK about flashable AOSP cameras.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeedragon:
I like the stock camera app in Skyraider Athena (think it's the HTC Sense camera) but when I'm feeling artsy :-) I whip out RetroCamera. Very cool app, ad supported and lots of fun. Just make sure you go into the settings and enable high-res pictures, else you'll get tiny little pics not good for very much.

It does take a bit of CPU to "develop" the pictures after you snap them but it's done in the background so you can keep shooting and it will just buffer them up.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blcklab:
I prefer the EVO camera because it has touchscreen spot metering.

I'm currently using Inc Deck gingerbread and the SOAP is lacking. Not bad, but nothing special.

I Rooted my phone.

Installed ClockworkMod rom manager

Tried (numerous) times to do a backup, but it always says "can't mount" or "can't open" and fails.

I've lost my bluetooth and vibrate in the process.

I am (and was already on) EA28 when starting all this.

Can anyone help a confused newbie???

I'm not any idiot, I'm a software developer and ASP.Net web developer. But all this Linux style command line stuff is beyond greek to me...:confused:

I'd like to get to the point where I had a known-good backup and could try using the DL30 leak.

I have Odin working on my laptop but have uninstalled "superuser" in an effort to get vibrate and bluetooth working again. As I said, it's a mess.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
I would follow the "beginners guide" to use the one click root method to get root back. Then flash the stock DL09 that's in the forums using odin to get to a point where you can push DL30 out.
[Fascinate General] Linden13:
Open ODIN, go get a DL09.md5.tar from the development section,

Take your battery out

Plug in the USB ** While holding Volume Down** (thanks for the save Superchunk)

Once in Download mode add the file to the PDA on Odin

Press start

It will erase EVERYTHING HOWEVER bring you back up and running

Alwasy a good idea to keep that file handy incase this happens again, just re-flash

***Note once you flash DL09 to fix everything, your again NOT Rooted, your back to Stock!!!!

(Just on what i use, i've always rooted my phone using http://forum.androidcentral.com/verizon-fascinate-rooting-roms-hacks/33899-how-root.html)

[Fascinate General] rvgraham:
Thanks!

I'll try that when I get home. Never had DL09, went from DI01 directly to EA28, which seems to be a bit of an orphan.

Following your advice(s), what should I be doing to protect my ability to get back to a state where I can use Verizon's updates when and if I want to?

Now I have some issues, if that's the right word. Successfully onto DL30, but one of the last instructions on that files was for installing new_cwm.zip.

I don't see Rom Manager in my apps list, though Superuser is there.

Can I install CWM from the market now, so it will show in my apps? Or will that just corrupt the right one that is there(???) but not visible?

[Fascinate General] solido888:
Cwm its a recovery which is flashed through samsung stock recovery. If you download the proper cwm file (which can be found in the dev section) you can power your phone off, then hold down both the volume up and down buttons, then while holding those buttons press and hold the power button til the samsung logo comes up. Blue text soul come up, which would be the stock recovery. You can then flash the cwm file (which you should have placed on your sd card) via the install .zip option in recovery.

Rom manager of available through the market.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
Using the search button would be a damn fine start as this has been addressed before!

I believe the solution is to create an empty file with the name shutter.wav and copy it to the Windows folder.

Plugging 'shutter sound' into Search yielded this thread, which in turn references an even earlier thread.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Ok, so I'm no newby to this but I have a question. I've had my captivate since shortly after launch and have been flashing since then. I recently did a warranty exchange and got my new one in today.

The sticker under the battery is different from my original, so I am guessing it's a Refurb and not new. The Rev # is 1007 which is what I had. But when I got into service mode and check the RFCAL DATE is it 01-08-2011. My current 1007 rev phone has an RFCAL DATE of 07-11-2010.

I'm curious if anyone knows if this means hardware was swapped or something like that? I've probably flashed my phone 200 times, literally, and the RFCAL DATE never changes.

Any ideas?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tErbo b00st:
So I have been searching and trying to get exceptional battery life ever since I got Android 2 years ago. I have tried so many different roms and kernel combinations and have always had "decent" battery life. But I keep seeing people claim 30+ hours of "moderate to heavy" use, and am completely baffled by how they achieve this.

An outline of my average current use

-stock Sprint battery

-CM7 GX.10

-v.0.0.5 SBC HAVS CFS Savage kernel

- conservative governor, 245 min clock 1036 max clock using built in CM7 settings

- no task killer, but I am running Auto killer memory manager (to tweak Androids built in memory management)

-minimalistic text widget updating weather every hour

- sync gmail, contacts, calendar

- gtalk running

- calendar widget

- 25% screen brightness

- wifi, 4g, & bluetooth off (I never use 4g or bluetooth, and turn wifi on for a few hours when I get home at night)

- sat on and "use location" enabled

- about 50 messages per day (gtalk + sms)

- 1 hour total of phone convo (off and on)

- 30-60 minutes web browsing and/or games

With this I can go from 7am unplug to 10pm plug in...but just barely. This is the best battery life I have gotten, and it's still nowhere close to what some others claim. I don't want to use ultimate juice as I don't want to loose gtalk and push gmail. I would LOVE to be able to switch 1x data on while the phone is sleeping, but i'm finding out the evo radio can't do this?

Am I missing something? Any special tricks to double my battery life? Any of the typical responses to improving battery life I have tried/checked. I have read way too many threads on the subject, and everyone is the basic "check away time vs up time", "wipe batt stats", "turn off radios", etc etc. I have thoroughly examined what has been using my battery and network, and can not find anything out of the ordinary. Plus this battery life has persisted through multiple roms and kernels, so I don't believe I have any type of "leak" from a rogue program.

I can not fathom a way to DOUBLE my battery life, but I see too many people claiming 30+ hours to think they are all lying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjreyes:
Can't prove it but I got 34 hours using Caulkin's 1.7.7 with HTC #15 kernal and autokiller set to Optimum... then again I'm a light to moderate user

I also disable backgrounds so I am not syncing anything, using the stock battery .. people can " lie " but I was shocked to see how long it lasted
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjreyes:
If you go to Settings, Wireless & Networks, mobile settings, Uncheck the always enable data.. what this does is turns off your 3G after 5 minutes of not being used to conserve battery even more.

maybe those who claim they get 30+ hours battery life use extended battery. i say this because i've been using the ebay extended battery and i get like 30 (real heavy use like streaming videos) -35 (moderate use) hours. i don't talk or text much.

on the stock batt, as far as I remember the best i got was like 20 hrs with very little use. that was on Myn RLS4 with net 4.2.1 kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
30 hours is possible. But not with heavy use and stock battery. No matter what you do
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Here's what I can say:

Back before CyanogenMod 6.1, Snap 7.6 came out. During beta testing of Snap 7.6, Shift was able to get well over 36 hours on a single charge, and got the some of the highest Quadrant scores if I recall correctly.

Now, I don't particularly recommend going back to CM6.0, or Snap 7.6 for that matter. Snap v9 is in the works and is due out "soon". Until then, try just the CM7 nightlies and their kernel.

For me:

8-12 hours of battery life.

CM7 nightly

stock kernel

Gmail, GVoice, Vontacts, Calendar and Exchange mail/calendar on Push notifications.

Plume checking Twitter every 30 minutes

Automatic brightness

BT off, WiFi on for 1-2 hours

no task killer of any kind

Android Agenda widget, Plume Widget, Beautiful Widgets 4x1 home weather (updates every hour), BattStat widget, gTabSiMiClick widget, SetCPU widget

NexusKang LWP

SetCPU: 384min, 1113max, conservative. Screen off: 384-422. Battery <50%: 384-806. Battery <90%: 384-998.

Tasker running, as well as SeePU++, DSP Manager, and Prey.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
with my combo (sig) i got 20 hours of moderate-medium use with 30% left. Those numbers really depend on how much standby u have. Also my battery life may get better after a lil while.

Also i noticed you keep GPS on. I keep mine off unless i need to use nav. Otherwise i let geotag/location based stuff use my data to get general locations. Itd prob save you a bit to toggle this when needed.

I use the Sprint Lover's ROM. On days of light use, I usually get a full day out of my battery. Sometimes more.

No 4g on, at home using my own WIFI. Very minimal use :) Stock battery btw
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jones79:
I would get rid of the Overclocking. Most Kernels out now perform better without it. Also run WiFi when possible and disable all background data sync. Turn GPS off until you need it. Black / Dark background and themes get better battery life.

I have not ran any CM7 ROMs, but seeing how they are all Beta still I don't think it is the best option if you are looking to improve your battery life.

The only non-sense ROM I run regularly is MIUI and I get easily 20 hours out of a single charge (usually have 15% left at 20 hours). The 20 hours consists of probably 1 hour talk time, 50+ SMS messages, light web browsing (less than 1 hour) Facebook browsing, XDA browsing. I rarely play games on my phone, but anyone who does play games regularly on their phone is not getting 30 hours of battery life on a stock battery.

The battery life you say you are getting is definitely too low for what the phone is capable of with your usage. I would try switching ROMs if you have tried everything else and are still getting poor battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
There is no "true" definition of "heavy user" so those 30 hour claims should be taken with a grain of salt.

The general consensus of a heavy user should be someone who's Awake Time is more than half of their Up Time.

Most of the people that claim to be a heavy user should be put in the category of moderate or even light user by a generalization standpoint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3chn0crat:
I use my phone a lot in a business setting. Emails, calendar, facebook, and web browsing on an hourly basis usually pretty heavy for about 8 hours a day. That said using Caulkin's ROM and the stock battery I would get ~24 hours as long as I didn't play games like Angry Birds.

With the 1700mha replacement battery I can get ~36 hours now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
I find it a lot more accurate to focus on AWAKE time vrs uptime.

I can go 48 hours on a single charge if I don't use it.

I find, on average, I get 4-7 hours of actual AWAKE time, meaning I am actually using my phone, before I dip below 20% Of course, that time will vary depending on what I am doing. Just watching movies, I will get 4.5-5.5 hours.

I leave bt on always and GPS.

Running Fresh 3.5.0.1 with stock kernel.

I think anyone should expect these types of numbers if your battery is calibrated correctly.

Also when testing, make sure to fully FULLY charge your phone. Losing that first Up to 10% will really leave you disappointed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamspiced:
I get 30+ hours all of the time. Here is how.

I found out that running the stock battery all the way down till the phone turns off, then recharging it all the way a bunch of times kills the life of the battery. As a result if you are having huge battery issues now, either go to a sprint store and see if you can get a new stock battery to start, or go to bby and get one of the 1750mah batteries. It is the same size as the stock battery with a little more juice.

Rom - Fresh 3.5.0.1

PRI - 1.90_003

PRL - 60675

Baseband - 2.15.00.11.19

Kernel Version - 2.6.32.17-gee557fd htc-kernel@and18-2 #15

Hardware Version - 0003

This combination alone, Stock fresh, PRI, PRL and Radio i hear is one of the best combo's for Battery.

as far as what i run.

I use Launcher Pro as a launcher, and i have straight Text Icons for my main launcher buttons.

I have absolutly no widgets running except for a clock.

For launcher pro i have 3 homescreens and thats it.

On fresh's notification bar i have GPS turned off, Wifi turned off unless im at home, Blue tooth turned off, Data turned on, and Sound On. Thats it.

I have Enable Mobile Network Always on turned off.

I have landscape turned off.

I use RA_Amon recovery

I use Handcent and Swype, i use Google Voice for voicemail service and i turned off automatic sync'ing

I ran Autostarts to turn off anything that i didnt need to run in the background that didnt look important. (When you run this, the area i modified is the section, Run after startup) Things i turned off were mostly anything that was sprint or HTC services, Facebook, Live Profile etc etc. Play with it, it varies with what you have installed.

Once in a while ill charge to full, turn off the phone, unplug, plug back in till the light turns greeen, Unplug and Plug back in till the light turns green, about 5-10 times. but i do this once every few weeks.

I dont use any task killer or mem manager. froyo does a good enough job of managing its memory.

Hope this helps...

Regarding governor settings... It's not enough to just state which governor is used. Each governor has it's own settings that can be further adjusted.

I'm using conservative too, but changed my threshold levels to provide more cpu speed swing depending on load than what the rom/kernel came with. Otherwise it was either at the lowest (during sleep), or at highest during even modest activity. For example, there's little reason for the cpu to be pegged if all i'm doing is composing an email. I've got the down threshold at 55% and up @ 80%, with 10% steps. Looking at the time in state file, I can see utilization of most cpu freq steps.
