[EVO 4G General] wrathx:
My wife and I just bought two EVOs a week and a half ago, and I quickly became interested in improving the battery life on the phone. My first attempts were rooting my phone and installing OverClock Widget, and using minimal settings when the screen was off. With that change alone, and comparing to my wife's phone from a full overnight charge, my phone was able to make it 14-16 hours with moderate use. My wife's phone would die after 8-9 hours of moderate use. Granted, there's obviously going to be a difference between my moderate use and hers, but even testing with screens off and letting them idle for an hour, there was a definitive difference in battery consumption between our phones.

I went one step further and installed CM7 Nightly 12 just yesterday... already I'm noticing even further improvement in battery life, but the majority of those savings are when my phone is idle. Overnight, my battery only drained 7%, whereas my wife's drained much more than that. My battery has been at 39% for the past 3 hours at idle, so I imagine that with my version of "standard usage", I would be able to possibly get higher than 16 hours of usage per charge (can't wait until I do the full calculation testing tomorrow!).

Here are some observations I've had in all of this:

1) Check out Greenfieldan's list of battery tips and tricks. Some of these are very simple and actually had a significant impact on both my phone and my wife's phone (especially shutting off data and disabling auto-synch). I'm new to the forums, but this is one of the first things I checked out. This is a great place to start.

2) Battery consumption is obviously affected by how frequently you use your phone, and what you are doing with it. I say this because it's easy to read threads about what techniques work and see mixed results, but I don't see alot of people really admitting how much or how little they use their phones. I'd say I'm a more conservative user of my phone, but I still have my texting, browsing, and even occasional streaming, GPS using and general fiddling. So in other words, your mileage may vary with any given technique.

3) This is my personal opinion, but think about when you ideally want to be charging your phone, and try and anticipate usage around it. It sounds strange, but I've come to my own conclusion that an optimal charge for me (not necessarily possible, but optimal) will give either 12 or 36 hours of usage time. This is because I like to charge my phone overnight, so if I get 18 hours of battery life, I'm unfortunately wasting 4-6 of them. If I get 24 hours of usage, then that means that by the next morning, I need to charge again. So I plan ahead and charge at night, and use through the day. This was particularly useful when I first started with the phone and was getting a max of 8-9 hours. I'd know when to unplug, and how well it would get me through the day.

Anyway, at this point I'm rambling, but since it is still very fresh in my mind I wanted to share my thoughts. Hopefully this helps. :)

(Btw, apologies for the huge post!!)

[EVO 4G General] Greenfieldan:
Sorry it took me so long to reply.

Anyhow, from my testing on mine and three other phones Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo has the best battery life (although some of them were right on par with it). Specifically his RLS 3 and RLS 4. Did you try Warm Z? Because the battery life on that ROM is no where NEAR his 2.2 ROM.

Also, Sense CAN be a major drain on battery. If you make it so it's not syncing all the time/doing the random shenanigans it defaults to I'd argue it's better than AOSP (based on my experience with both).

Yes, your Kernel might have been an issue. Do you know which one you were using? HAVS? CFS? BFS? Etc.

Just for my phone comparison, CM7 (which I am running now) requires me to charge my phone at least once a day. Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo was every other day/every day and a half.
[EVO 4G General] Abricr:
You can set juice defender to turn on data to sync at set intervals; anywhere from 15min to every couple of hours. If you can stand to wait 15 minutes for that email then I would recommend it. I personally like not being interrupted every time I get an email.

Also, make sure your kernel and setCPU aren't trying to both control the same thing. I really like using a kernel with HAVS so I avoid apps that also try to modulate my CPU.

I've tried warm 2.2 and really like it. Although I think I'm getting slightly better battery with Azrael X 4.0 with netarchy 4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc and ultimate juice controlling only my data and WiFi connections.

Also,the 3500mah battery is worth every penny if you don't mind the extra thickness.
[EVO 4G General] knightwolf123:
i owe setcpu and screen off seting for my battery life
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I read Greenfieldan's step on the forum here about a week ago, and jsut the HTC Method of battery calibration alone changed my battery life completely.

I also dumped Advanced Task Killer.

In another thread, I rad that CM is the worst drain on a battery and I personally think the guy that wrote that is sadly mistaken. Even with all the steps taken in Greenfieldan's guide, Sense based ROMs are battery killers. They are the worst, by far, and I average battery drain at about 15-20% pr hour, even with screen off.

The #2 killer, is having your screen on. Waiting for that next text to come in with the screen on is not worth it, so turn it off when you're not using it.

With the setup in my sig, and moderate to heavy use, in 12 hours, I only drop about 25% with a Sedio 3500maH battery.

With Sense, like I said, quick battery death.
[EVO 4G General] syypher:
I'm using CM7 - Nightly 12 right now + Stock Kernel...I also have set cpu to change cpu usage when screen is off.

This combo was my first combo I started trying (2 days ago when I posted this) to test for increased battery life. I followed what some of you guys suggested and let it "work into my phone." Instead of giving up after 1 day of test.

Results! Just yesterday I had my phone on for 14 hours and it was at 18%! That is a HUGE improvement. Right now it is at 65% and I've had it on for about 5 hours. That's really long compared to what it was before! Before I tried changing the ROM, kernel and using Set CPU I would be at the red right now or around 15%.

Thanks you guys for all the suggestions! Any further advice would be greatly appreciated! (Only sad thing is that my GPS doesn't work with CM7 - Nightly 12 >_<...) Other than that I love it!

[Dash 3G, Snap Accessories] Letitride:
Assuming that you have an AT&T 3g (working) Sim card in the slot and switched over to GSM Only mode - have you check your A&T GPRS and Proxy settings - as they default to the VZW-embedded Vodafone Sim card until you create new ones and switch them over?

Do you see the "E"dge icon for GSM services instead of EV/1X icon for CDMA on the display's top bar?

If those data settings, especially GPRS, are not correctly set or missing, it will switch off the data connection ....

To set them, google generic settings for the Windows Mobile 6.x phones, especially ones for HTC and/or Motorola and you should be good to go. Mine is using China Mobile's settings now when switched to GSM only mode, and worked great when I'm traveling overseas and here at home, it actually "roam" on AT&T and T-Mo's network (at expensive data rates, of course)

Hopefully, this is pointing you in the direction ....
[Dash 3G, Snap Accessories] Sea_Weed:
GPRS Setting

Those are Setting's for "AT&T" i cant find on web .I have Phone set to ( GSM Only )

Also i can See ( E ) in Header Bar Im in ( 3g ) area wich o see ( H ) on my Droid Header Bar

I see GPRS Option but not Shure What Setting Should look like in there i have removed ( Verizon ) .

If any 1 can point me in Direction for those settings would be great .

Thank You for Response

T-Mobile

Please read & try to follow the steps outlined in this earlier thread to allow edits for creating these new settings (as only SampleMMS ones are loaded with the 3VO or factory rom flashed)

There's another one about AT&T settings - try searching this forum (no proxy needed)

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-630281.html

Always backup and/or write down your default/original VZW settings just in case they are needed to recover from a crash without doing a hard reset and rom being flashed again, etc. etc.

Remember to un/check settings in the mobile IE and to reboot the phone so that all the saved changes are reloaded.

Has anyone come up with odin files for the modem, rom, etc for EA28 release?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigi1111:
Why? I suppose there could be some value, but if you want to remain at stock VZW you should be able to flash either the full DI01 or DL09 packages and get the OTA update, right?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfman4:
Correct, however it would save time to go straight to their last official update if need be. Also did they release an EA28 radio, or does the OTA use the DL09 radio?

[Omnia 7 General] Casey_boy:
Update it to what?

You mean you have version 7008 and what to update to NoDo? At the moment you can't - it hasn't been released yet.

If you mean you have 7004 and want to update to 7008, then this is available now. Try plugging your phone into your PC and check with Zune. If it's not available, then your carrier is holding the update back.

Your best option would then be to flash a carrier-free ROM. For which I have created a guide here

hey guys so today I finally rooted my HTC Legend, installed rom manager, made my backup using clockwork i believe? well i installed clock work, then i made a backup of my rom, now I tried to install CyanogenMod from rommanager and also installed google apps...

The problem is now..

When i turn the phone on it keeps looping on the blue logo with the elctricity going around...cant turn it off cant do anything, have to manually take the battery out and start it up again..

Im not sure how to get my original rom back on, but i tried to get into the recovery menu atleast..I can get to the fastboot, but when i go into bootloader, then click recovery it does everything normally, it shows the red triangle, I run recovery-windows.bat ( provides in Paul's tutorial at modaco ) and it says device not found..

EDIT: before I installed cyanogen, i disabled debugging mode for something, and I dont think i turned it back on :S I think it may have something to do with me not getting into recovery...what do i do! :'(

Put the Clockwork Mod Fake flash update.zip from the Development Forum on your SDCard and then go again in Recovery, until you see the red triangle. Then hit Volume up + Power and select flash update.zip. You should boot in Clockwork Mod Recovery then.
