hey guys.
i'm experiencing something weird with Pandora. I always stream over WiFi (no other choice) and typically while having the phone plugged in to the charger. but i like having music while i shower so i was putting pandora to stream while the phone had the screen off just sitting there on the bathroom (Away from water of course).
for a while this worked fine, but a couple of weeks ago something happened that makes pandora stop playing. sometimes it stops and never resumes playing until i turn on the screen and press play. sometimes it skips from song to song only playing 1-3 seconds of the song.
this only happens while it's in the shower. i've tried having setCPU's profiles for screen off but on and off, and same thing either way.
what is causing this? can i fix it?
When using Pandora on the computer it will ask you if you're still there after a certain amount of time and if you don't click yes, it will stop playing until you click it. Maybe it is something similar? I play mine while I set up for work for about an hour or so with my headphones, but I haven't a long period of time without skipping a song or changing the station, so I haven't had the issue.
Pandora will skip to the next song if you loose data for a second. Probably dont have as strong of a signal in the bathroom.

i dont think that's it. the bathroom is within 15 feet of the wireless router. the phone gets all bars
I have the same issue, and the signal is strong.
Are you running any profiles that underclock the CPU when the screen is off? I stopped having that issue when I stopped using setcpu.

Are you running Juice Defender? If Pandora is not on the list of apps, you will lose data connection when the screen goes off.

I had setcpu profiles to overclock the phone with screen off...but that was the first thing I disabled in trying to diagnose the problem...
And no I'm not using juice defender or any othersuch program...
So what else?

Are you running 1.5? Mine would do something similar on 1.4, but 1.5 fixed it

If you are using a kernel that undervolts it is possible you are losing signal even though you have full bars. In fact, that is the reason that I no longer run the undervolt kernels. The problem is that you have full bars when the screen is on, because when the screen is on it is probably not undervolted. Once the screen goes off though, the undervolting kicks in, and when the phone is undervolted to less than stock voltage it significantly reduces the sensitivity of the radios. I have a 5 mile stretch on the way home that I get about four bars on with a stock kernel and never have Pandora drop a song or stop. If I run an undervolted kernel, on the other hand, Pandora stops repeatedly in that 5 mile stretch, not playing any more than 10 seconds of any song, unless I keep repeatedly touching the screen to keep it on.
Im using king clicks #6 I believe...is that one of them fancy kernels things?

The default battery-saving measures of Android include turning off WiFi after physical phone innactivity (meaning, a few minutes after the screen turns off). Some ROMs let you change the WiFi sleep policy, some don't.
I'm going to try this out today...got a lot of research to do so I'm going to run pandora with screen off and unplugged at the library...lets see how it goes...

I am running stock 3.29.651.5. Ever since I updated, my battery performance has decreased, my web browser has become very choppy, and overall, the phone just isn't as responsive. The previous build ran beautifully on my Evo. Anyone else having issues?

PEACE,
YES!! It appears that my browser cant even get some pages (or it takes forever to load ---for instance XDA). I use Gtalk (I know most of you consider it BLOATWARE) and i barely can connect or 3G or 4G. My best connection is Wi-Fi which is good--when I'm home...not so good when I'm at work. I've ran the wimax test on my phone through Terminal Emulator and it stated that my wimax keys are still in tact and i have installed the latest radio...*shrugging shoulders*

I am running rooted stock (myn's I believe) with no issues... my other evo is stock 3.29 and had battery issues for the second and third days running but has since smoothed out....
Edit... using Sprint Lovers stock-ish 3.29 from over at ppcg
I have rooted odexed Rom and I can't rip out the Sprint bloatware. It's driving me insane. DC 3.6 can't come fast enough

I'm definitely having issues with gtalk..I can always connect via wifi but for some reason 3g has issues. I can connect with other 3rd party apps though, like beejive and trillian.
I am also having some issues. Used to get around 20hrs or so under moderate use. Now it seems to be more like 12 possibly 16. I get a very weak signal at work and this new update seams to drain much quicker. been thinking about rooting. Have done a lot a reading but not 100% sure how to do it yet.
same problem here. So I read elsewhere to check your Accounts and Sync in the settings. The update reenabled sync for stocks, weather and peep....which once I turned back off, my battery is fantastic!

I can't signin to GTalk since the update. I cleared the data, but that didn't help. What exactly does GTalk do?
Yeah already turned the sync back off. Gonna try rooting with unrevoked. Seems pretty simple to do.
I have had stock everything since I purchased my phone, no rooting or anything and have never had any issues with my phone at all. Since the 3.29 update, I think my phone is actually running better. The screen transitions on all my programs seem smoother, even the 4G load animation is smoother. Battery life is the same as before, crappy but I use my phone ALOT for work. I just don't know if I am just lucky or it is becuase I am using the phone as it was intended from Sprint.

Just a question, not being a smart ass, but what made you join these forums if you haven't done anything to your phone? I'm truly intrigued by the different things I can do, and I like reading about what I can possibly do.
I've been having an issue with audio applications.
If I pause a song or podcast (whether it be in the stock Music application, Google Listen, or Audio Book Player), leave the application for a while, and return there is a very high chance the song or podcast will restart from the beginning. Likewise if I do the same in Pandora the application fill crash on me.
This is mostly annoying because 90% of what I listen to on my phone are podcasts and lectures. Not being able to easily pick up where I left off is irksome.
Has anybody else had this issue?
have you tried pulling out the battery? i had alot of problems with the phone after update and so did my parents. after i pulled battery it starting working alot smoother and battery life has been alot better.

Well normally you would report bugs to the app developer, in the case of apps. But in this case I don't know, because I haven't had any of these problems. Haven't done any podcasts but I use Pandora, last.fm, or Slacker radio for about an hour a day. I use it for a half hour on the way to work, pause it since I don't use my phone at work for anything but phone calls, then play from where I paused it 8-10 hours later for the half hour drive home.
I'd try a hard reset. Sometimes updates don't work smoothly. Just look at the Sprint forums shortly after the 2.2 update. Tons of issues that were fixed shortly there after by a hard reset. I haven't noticed any issues, and my battery seems to actually last longer, when the screen is off. I just got 12 hours with several phone calls, wifi, bluetooth, GPS, maps, navigation (for a short time), and the biggest battery drainer: games. Still had 12 percent, and it probably would have lasted at least 4 hours if I just let it sit. I leave all my email push and have facebook sync enabled.
Anyways, from my experience, nothing seems broken, its faster thanks to no fps lock, overall better performance, and the battery lasts longer, though it seems to run down a bit faster when in use compared to before, but it barely loses a charge while sleeping, so standby time makes up for it. (as long as you let it sleep, which in my experience, starting with the G1, is the real secret to best battery life. Let it sleep as long as possible. Constantly messing with it, switching the screen off, only to pick it up five minutes later is horrible for battery life. Use it, let it sleep, pick it up again in an hour. If you can that is...)
Was pretty choppy until I flashed netarchy kernel. But still getting alot of FC on Internet, when I use the back button it FC.
I had issues at first but after time and 2 or 3 reboots, all is smooth.

Im trying to find out what is draining the battery on my EVO EVEN WHEN THE PHONE IS WITH THE SCREEN OFF and SUPPOSED to be in STAND BY MODE (using the power button on the phone). I have SETCPU installed to LOWER the CPU to 245/384 when the screen is off.. HOWEVER THE BATTERY SEEMS TO DRAIN .
This afternoon I charged he batter till the green light came on. Made one phone call for 10 minutes and then later another one for 10 minutes.. I do have GPS and BLUETOOTH ALWAYS turned on since I use them all the time WHEN the phone is on for various APPS and my bluetooth earpiece and car adaptor... After those 2 calls the phone is down to almost 70% from 100%...
I have SYSTEM PANEL and also JUICEPOLTTER, SPARE PARTS and MINIFREEMANAGER installed and the programs are set according to what I have been reading on here...
SPARE PARTS tells me the phone has be MORE THAN ONE DAY with sleeping and the most used app is ANDROID SYSTEM. I look at SYSTEMPANEL and UNDER MONITOR HISTORY I can see that even when there is NO DEVICE USAGE, I still have around 15-30% CPU Usage (is this normal?). I also have it set to get email etc automatically.. some every 2 hours and some software every 4-6 hours.
What could be causing the battery drain? What is the best program to use to see the cause?
Im also not 100% sure SETCPU is using the screen off profile.. HOW an I tell this??? Any help would be appeciated...
Have you tried turning GPS off? If it's not actually being used, it won't drain the battery much or at all. However, if you're actually using it, it will.
If you're using navigation, that's a big battery killer, as it does constant GPS + a large amount of data transfer.
One thing you can try is to open Spare Parts, then go to Battery History and choose "Partial wake usage" in the top box. Things with partial wake locks are generally the biggest idle battery users.

I read in another forum that there was a bug in the Facebook application that was causing the application to refresh its information several times an hour instead of once in a while at specific times.It would use power and bandwith when the phone is even in sleep mode with screen off. They also mentioned that there was a fix already issued for this. I cannot find the link any more to source it for you where I read this.
My stock EVO runs for days with the radios turned off until I need them.
Sometimes, if it ain't broke ...
My evo has been draining fast without all that on and well it's annoying. The only compensation I have is owning 3 batteries.

I haven't seen that Facebook issue. One other thing. In spare parts I have activity management set to aggressive. Could that effect battery life or does that help battery life. I also notice in spare parts that I See programs that I don't use ruining that I didn't see before.

From your list I can only see two things I would kill these programs and wait and see what happens.
WUNDEREADIO
FACEBOOK
Everything else must run. For me Slacker radio kept my EVO on all day long eventhough I was not using it. The new version seems to fix that issue. I am guessing your problem is WUNDEREADIO. I would reboot (resets your battery information) kill Wundereadio. Then go to Settings, About, Battery and monitor your Awake Time vs Up Time. Write down the numbers. Turn off your phone and wait 10 minutes. You should see a gap in time. If so then it is Wundereadio.
Good luck
I think slacker and wunderradio were in the list because I just used them.. wunderradio inst in the list today.. BUT SLACKER is but not in the partial wake.. its in background ...
I changed my backlight setting from auto to using a widget that has 8 brightness settings and it is on the 3rd setting.. I dont know what the AUTO backlight was setting the screen at...
I also adjusted the MINIFREEMANAGER according to some settings I found online..
also I have SPARE PARTS set to AGGRESSIVE... would that have anything to do with it??
Check systempanel first thing when you wake up, but go into monitor, then history, and switch plot to top apps. It will tell you exactly whats been using the battery/cpu when there's been no usage.
As you know, the bt sucks a lot of battery, if you really do use it often, with a bunch of apps, you may want to consider tasker, which can be set up to turn bt on only when your on a call, or using certain apps.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
Will tasker turn on bluetooth when a call comes in? IE will it let the bluetooth earpiece ring so I can answer it from the bluetooth earpiece?? also can I set tasker so that when get in my car, it will KNOW I am in range of a bluetooth speakerphone and it will turn on BT and connect??
I leave BT on all the time for these reasons....
Looks like tasker wont do anything for me with Bluetooth. The earpieces take too long to connect when a call comes in or I make a call and some even auto answer when they connect which I don't want. I wonder how much battery drain Bluetooth and GPS use if left on but idle?
Sent from my EVO4G using Tapatalk.
Yeah, it would have depended on how long it took to pair. Still try checking the apps through systempanel after a few hours of non-use though. That should help.
And gps doesn't use much until its being used for something, but bt is a constant drain.
Double post
On my old tp2 Bluetooth didn't the battery much. I guess it does on the evo

OK so I have been running for the past day and 1/2 without blutooth turned on.. I only have 3G and GPS turned on. Still it seems the battery drains faster then it should. I look at SPARE PARTS and it doesnt show anything out of the ordinary on PARTIAL WAKEUP. I have SETCUP to 384/245 when screen off. I do use SYSTEMPANEL to look at what is running and it does show a LOT of stuff such as SLACKER, SOUND HOUND, JUICE PLOTTER, etc... what else can I do for battery life.. I left for work at 8:00 and when I got to work at 8:15, the battery was already at 90% without doing anything....
Aldo how much battery drain does BT take if I leave it on? its a pain to remember to turn it on when I get in the car and turn it off when I leave...
Sorry if this has been answered, I searched and found nothing.
While going on a trip I attempted to use the GPS while my phone was plugged in.
Seems like a common enough thing to do.
Anyhow within an hour my phone got so hot that it shut itself down. Didn't realize it was getting that hot or I would have shut it off before then.
Also, I am having sound issues. The phone is a bit laggy and if I'm listening to music it will interfere with the sound when I flip screens, or when the phone goes to sleep or wakes up.
Is anyone else experiencing these types of issues?
I am using the kernel that it came with...
Also setCPU -> OnDemand
Min: 200
Max: 1000
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Folks,
My phone seems to be guzzling battery when playing mp3s using the new music 3.0. I think I can get about 6-8 hours of music playing which seems pretty low with nothing else happening, screen mostly off unless I have to pause it, and set cpu running at 245mhz when the screen is off.
Looking at the battery use stats in Gingerbread (I'm currently using oxygen 2.3.3 ROM) it seems that the phone is pretty much constantly awake which I'm guessing isn't a good thing. If I stop playing music then the phone seems to sleep OK.
So is it normal for the phone to remain awake when playing mp3s? If no, is there something that could be causing this or a way to try and stop it. If yes, is there something I could try to get some battery life back?
Try another music player. If it's still happening then I would say that's normal. I get about that time on my phone.
i don,t think Desire can be used both as a phone and Music player , itd bound to die out in 6-8 hours
Guys.
Thanks for the replies.
I was able to use my touchHD as a phone and music player, with about 2x the battery life I get on the desire.
I must admit that I wasn't expecting such a big difference between these two devices.

I tend to chew through about 10% battery in a regular 90 minute train journey playing music and sending the odd SMS or making a 1-2 minute call. I use poweramp player.
I think that's not bad!

That's more like what I'd expect. I was watching things closely yesterday and I got less than 4 hours of mp3 playback with no calls, texts or web (except weather updates every 4 hours and Gmail background checking).
I think I may have found the culprit though. I was running widget locker with the phantom media controls widget. It appears that this may have resulted in 2 copies of the music 3 app running and draining the battery. Have removed both apps and I'll see how things go.

Yes 4 hours to a dead battery just through music seems excessive.
Hope the above works for you. What is your standby battery drain like? I found android status app useful for keeping an eye on running processes
To find out the battery drain in standby, you can use battery monitor widget:
https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw
In standby drain should be about 4-8 mA, not higher.
Things looked a little better yesterday.... fingers crossed.
I checked the current and it's 3 on standby. And at the moment this jumps to 60 when I have music 3.0 playing and the screen off.
Does that sound about right?
Thanks again.

Noticed an issue, thought I'd see if anyone else was seeing it. I don't know if it's isolated to Netflix or not, but it is the only time I've had my phone freeze up on me. I have had it happen twice so far. I don't know how to recreate it though. I'll play Netflix for a while, and then all of the sudden it freezes. I have to pull the battery and restart the phone. Once frozen, it won't accept any input.
Hey. I just had the same problem as you. I was watching netflix and within 10 minutes, the epic 4g touch froze and none of the button worked, not even the power button. I had to removed the battery to reset it. Then it happened again 1 hour into my movie on netflix so I decided to search and saw your post. This is the first time my phone has ever locked up like this.
I use netflix all the time and haven't had it happen to me.
If you look at the Netflix app I'm the market, you will see this started with the latest app update...its the app not the phone. Glad I didn't up date mine...still works great.

I have the latest update, and it still works fine on my phone.
I did have this once in a while. Maybe once a week? Exact symptoms as you describe. I couldn't repeat the bug consistently. Although it seemed to happen when watching more than 45 mins on the phone.
As of the latest update (a week ago), I haven't seen the problem come up actually. It has something to do with the app, not the phone.
Since having the issue I have done an update or two on Netflix. I have been watching a significant amount of video using it too.. I think i'm over 10GB on my plan lol... Anyway, I haven't seen it since. Must just have been Netflix like many of you have noted.
glad to find this post. I've had the same issue on my AT&T GS2 and was about to return the phone.
It's odd to me that an app without root access can freeze the phone and all buttons so easily. Doesn't speak well for the phone's stability. Perhaps something's overheating...
Netflix locks up, no buttons or anything work. First time I pulled my battery to reset it. Didnt think anything about it. So I noticed my phone was getting low on battery so I hooked up my charger and went back to watching X-Files. After an episode and a half I had a little bit of a charge so I pulled the plug and moved to my desk to work while I watched. Couple mins later, blam...lockup. This time I held the power button down and the phone did reset itself, but then I noticed my battery was at 6% when it had been at 60ish before I unplugged it. Then oddly enough, it started climbing about 1% every ten minutes. Wtf?
So anyway. All that novel of a post us to say that i've tested and can recreate the lockup regularly while watching on battery, but haven't had it happen yet when connected to the charger. I'm running unnamed ROM with no other mods or themes. Is it possible this has something to do with CPU profiles changing as the battery drains?
I just wanted to add that the same thing happens to me as momentary.
I'll be watching Netflix while plugged in (USB in this case), phone locks, have to remove the battery, reboot and the battery reads almost dead. It'll go from like 70% to 7%.
This has happened 3-4x.
Anyone have a solution?
I have two sgs2's in the household, its happened on both phones.
Has happened to me on stock,midnight,and unnamed.
Netflix is a buggy app in general. I had to use an old version until recently because it would freeze on both my phone and my CM7 touchpad.
Calkulin 2.9.1 EL29. I have a hunch that this happens only while using Wifi. I've been testing Netflix on 3g and have yet to run across it. It sucks because I only use Netflix while at home and work, and at home I have a lousy 3g signal, especially while downstairs...
Anybody's phone locking up while using Netflix on 3g?
I have been having the same problem for the last few weeks, I usually use 4G on battery and it does freeze on me occasionally. When I am out of 4G, I use 3G with no issues so far. I have yet to use it with WIFI to see if that could be a problem as well.
I hook my phone up to my TV via MHL and run Netflix off my Wifi...
First episode of Deep Space Nine always plays flawless.
Second episode typically locks up the phone and stutters the last half-second of audio until I reset it.
