I did the 3g signal boost hack that you can find in the 4g signal boost forum and in less then a couple of hours I noticed that my battery life went down quick.. before on a full charge I was getting like around 17 to 18 hours a day.. but now im only getting like 8 in a half hours on a full charge.. I am on the SuperNova1.5_DK28 rom.. and I use Juice Defender.. and I keep blutooth and GPS on all day long..
I just wanted to know if anyone else battery sucks after doing the hack, or am I trippin??
Did you do the 4g trick as well? And did you have 4g on? The 4g trick will probably hurt your battery life when in it is on in low or no signal areas. I don't know why the 3g trick would affect your battery.

no I didnt do the 4G trick because I NEVER use it.. but im using it right now to tether and its BLAZIN fast. its damn near like using comcast. lol
so im gonna try the 4g trick right now.. and just use 4g when im tethering..
but on the 3g.. I even did the battery clear thing that I read on a diffrent forum. and it still came back with only 8 hours fully charged.. im probably gonna change to a diffrent rom in the next few days so hopefully it changes it back to the way it was..
Can you give me a link to the signal boost hacks? Im interested in trying these out
Thanks
so has anyone tested wireless n with the incredible yet? is it working in these roms like cm7 and skyraider? if so when u use 3g hotspot does it put out wireless n as well?

It definitely works, but the general consensus was to leave it disabled because the speeds were not that much greater. Once the increased battery draw was taken into account it is really not worth it.
Gotchya thanks man

Yeah, I can't even come close to maxing out my g connection with my phone. So the shortened range/worse battery definitely not beneficial to me, at least.
sorry for the bump but ive been trying to see if there was an OTA update with the Wireless N working. ive heard a couple different things like it has better range to pick up wireless signals and some have said it has worse range. i dont really care about download speed...

How do you enable the Wireless N on the Dinc's? Kinda important to me cause I cannot enable just N due to Dinc using G. With my router if I can enable N only I can connect up to 450M within the network.
Well, I gave my Epic to my mother and right after doing so, she wanted Netflix. So...I hooked her up with stock EF02 (w/ root) and now she's complaining about the phone being dying "super ultra quickly" - her words.
Hell, she's even using a 3500 MAh battery and it's still only lasting like 6 hours WITHOUT use. (yes, I've tested and made sure the battery wasn't the problem, it's definitely the EF02 leak.) I can put her back on EC05 but it'll leave her Netflixless.
P.S. I noticed the battery drain only occurs when there is low signal (ie: roaming and switching back to Sprint, etc.)
P.P.S. She has GPS off, volume on vibrate, no WiFi is on, however, Bluetooth is on.
which EF02 release is on her phone
Deodexed or Odexed
im kinda new to the epic scene, was on evo for along time but considering the extended battery, and non use. might be a kernal specific issue. more info info if you have any
also one thing i forgot to mention was ive noticed on any sprint cdma phone, when its jumping from signal to signal, kills the battery fast. a quick fix might just be to get "roam control" on her phone. saves my battery
I'm getting awesome batt.life , 7hours, screen on 1h40m, wifi about 30m at lunch, volume LOUD, some youtube, uploaded some images, 50 text messages, uploaded an image with bad signal, didn't kill the batt... EF10 modem, no crash yet, about 2 days using this, no problems, love GB for the epic, even if its a leaked version...
_dit::: make sure your not using the dk28 modem, It won't allow phone to go into deep sleep, just a heads up, only has a problem on GB roms...

This could be a issue. Also like someone else said roam control could help. How is her signal at home? Does she have a internet connection? If you answer poor signal and yes to high speed internet call sprint tell them she has very poor signal in her house. They wil send you a Airrave for free I did this and batter life has been great. Also look at EF02 Plus by ChrisG been the most stable for me. Last but not least disable all services mentioned in randomkings post.

I tried to get an airave just last week, it was a no go, they said they have diffrent units now, and can't give them away, Ill try again this week. They told me no problems in my area, so...
Edit: plus there is no montly charge anymore, only a one time fee for the airave, $129.??...

I got for free about a month ago in my area just south of Boston. The only charge is if I leave sprint and don't return the equipment.
Ya I got an airrave in my home with 6 devices and I have a good sized hom and it covers almost full bars across the house, and yes they have a list of new policies and new devices they will tell you that they can't give it to you without you paying, just call again at least call 3 or 4 times, that's what I did and I got the airrave for free and I don't pay any extra a month.

And vibrates uses more battery.

She was on the EC05 modem and I upgraded her to EF02 modem. Do you recommend moving her up to EF10?
Btw, home signal is probably the best 3G will ever get. We went on vacation and our condo room had NO signal, that's where the battery drain was horrible. It's anywhere that signal is weak.
Is there anyway we can edit the batterystat.bin to trick the phone to have better battery life

ee03 modem seems to favor battery life but drops data and will need an airplane mode toggle. also i use no frills cpu control on demand 100/800.

Both EF modems suck. They drain the battery very quickly which is evident byy how hot the phone gets. EE03 is the way to go for battery life.

Nofrills CPU kept killing my modem. I uninstalled it and have no modem problems anymore. Gingerbread leak does not like external CPU controls.

No stay with EF02 modem. Also I am experimenting freezing some more apps that seem to be rogue when listening to music or streaming videos. But the last time I did this I lost the ability to send and receive mms LOL so it is a work in progress.
Does anyone know why the phone signal will constatly stay yellow in the battery status? I cannot get it to shut off. It never did this to me before the GB update as I have old screenshots showing a green phone status only every so often and the rest is a grayish color.
I was on the EF02 modem with Anonymous i3 rom for about 1.5 weeks before I knew about the modem crashes it caused. I did a fresh odin to the original samsprint ef02 leak then did a odin to the ee03 modem then decided to odin to ec05 as it seems most people are having good luck with that modem but my battery sucks! I keep it in wifi always as Im always at home or work, if not there I will turn wifi off. I have the sleep policy set to never for wifi... I am at my wits end.
snap01 is from a rom b4 the ef02 leak
snap02 is the AA i3 rom taken tonight
I got 2 phones and both have extended batteries. Did a comparison with EE03 and EF02 and battery life. The EF02 modem reached the low battery popup 3 hours before the EE03. Plus battery temp stayed mostly 3 degrees cooler in the EE03. Just try it on her phone and see if it lasts a little longer for her.
How did you get those snaps? I am on srf 1.2 and can't get them.
Thanks.

I use an app from the market called Shoot Me
Could it be that the battery would just drain faster in one place than another? It seems when I am at work I can never get a gps lock unless I go outside or have wifi on and the battery drains like crazy. At home I just have wifi on but the battery seems to drain slower??
Also I don't get the continous yellow colors on the Phone Signal at home it is green. The pic was while I was at home before I got to work. As soon as I got here its just always the various yellows!
install the ee03 modem and make sure you kill off SNS, DRM, and System updates whenever the phone is booted up. stock ef02 odexed runs fine for me

Well, I finally tried out my Mobile Hotspot service I subscribe to from Verizon. I will admit that the speed from the 4G LTE is nice on both my laptop and Transformer Prime. However, the battery life on the Nexus really took a nose dive after using this service with my Prime for about 1hr yesterday during a meeting.
Does anyone have some tips on conserving the battery during this type of use?
about how many hours can u get with wifi hotspot on?
i can get about 3-4hr on my nexus one with constant use... if its on but idling the phone can last 6-8hr
thats not using phone, just the wifi device tethered to the nexus one

Idling i get about 3-4 hrs....so i am thinking something has got to be wrong.
For those of you who have a good 4g signal, do you get better battery life on 4g or wifi? I have read some old threads on other phones and other variations of S2 and the general thinking is that wifi has better battery life but thats different hardware. I'm running stock rooted EL29 and battery drain seems about the same so far when I have good 4g.
I don't get 4g anymore since my work moved, but when I did, 4g sucked the battery like a baby on a bottle.
I always have wifi on, 24/7 and am actually connected probably 21 hours out of the day. I get an average of 18-24 hours on normal usage. I don't stream anything...

Second that I have 4g where I live and I also have wifi at home I have been testing the last couple days and it seems 4g has suck the battery a whole lot faster then my wifi
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Thanks guess I will just stick with wifi when I can. 4g speeds have nice peaks but they seem to be all over the place and at times slower than 3g
