Caulkins flash - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I flashed my phone last night with caulkins new rom, and can't figure out how to get the best battery life out of it. It has been unplugged for about two hours and I'm down to 75 percent with lite usage. Also where I'm at the cell service isn't the best, so I'm sure that is playing part of it. Thanks and I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong spot.

Give it a day or two. I noticed that when using the kernel he included that if I let it drain down and then recharged it that it seemed to get battery life after a day or two. Also, try other kernels. All kernels to different things better than others. You just need do some trial and error and see which one gives you the best life for your needs.

Anyone found out what kernel works best with it for battery life. The kernel it comes with isn't that great on battery life. Sorry if this was already posted.

Unfortunately, there are no definitives, and if you aren't getting good battery life with the stock kernel with warm2.2, you might want to start looking at some battery tweaks.
There is a thread over in the Evo 4g General forum, the title is "2.2 ultimate kernel review :: Updated 11/6/10" and the OP is skydeaner. His site also has one of the battery "fixes" if its not holding a charge correctly.
Unfortunately, I can't link to it, since I'm still a newbie poster, but, some of the higher rated ones are Kings #11, and the new Net 4.2 kernels.

Im having good luck so far with Nets 4.2.1 CFS more aggressive smartass universal.
There were a lot of people complaining about the awake time of the 4.2 build, so Net tried to tweak the 4.2.1 to have the great sleep time of 42 with the great awake time of 4.1.9
I havent had the phone awake alot today but with light use I have gone from 100% at 8 am to..... 75% at 10:30pm This was no browsing or games, just phone for about 5-10 minutes and maybe 5 minutes of texting only 1.25 hrs awake time total so far.... so very light use today. But ive NEVER had the phone stay 75-80% inot the evening.
I REALLY hope the awake performance is as good as the sleep performance. We'll see how it does tomorrow under some stress.

Just for a baseline, I just put my phone back to root to take it back, I've lost 50% over about 26 hours of moderate texting and usage with just JuiceDefender running.
I have Kings #11 and my battery blows. I drain 25% in less than an hour with moderate use. This is off topic but when you enable your 4G does it automatically turn off on you. I think my 4G is broken and just want to know. I may need to reflash it.
im runnin it with stock kernal and i have no complaints. I just took a screenshot showing like 43% left off charger for 14 hours and talk time was like 1hour and 23 mins. Plus iv used it to play mabey half hour of games and half dozen text. Il see if i can get the ss posted.

Better battery life out of an extended battery?????

I have an extended battery (2600). I was wondering, what does everyone do to get the most out of their extended battery if you have one? I'm hoping to get tips and or tricks from my fellow EVO users. If you have nothing positive to say, please don't post.. Any help is appreciated.

Are you rooted?
I use the stock battery on my rooted Evo and it lasts all day.
It really does depend on weather your rooted or not cuz on my stock battery I can go about a day in a half maybe a couple hours less MAYBE but then I have a Seidio 3500 mAh that can go exactly 2 days 1 hour and 38 minutes with heavy heavy use and also on a charge of 93 percent
So again are you rooted?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712990 check that thread, ever since i followed the steps my battery life is so much better. its been off the charger since midnight and i browsed fb for like 30 minutes, texted my wife n browsed the market for a bit and its only down to 89%. btw im using the stock battery.

You may wanna give another ROM a shot and see cuz battery life may very between them. As well as kernels.

Any stock kernel will not charge any extended battert correctly. I experimented with this for the last month.
I found an app called boot manager and now have 4 roms installed on my phone. At night I boot into a Froyo ROM with a SBC kernel and charge it, then in the am, boot into my Gingerbread ROM.

Yep. If I don't use my phone it will last all day and lose about 1.5% every two hours. I just recently switched to my current setup and am still not used to it. I'll unplug my phone at ~95% and head out the door. I'll pull it out of my pocket a number of hours later and see that it's only down to about 93% - 92%. Before I switched my setup I would've been down the low 80's if not lower. When I use it my battery depends on what I am doing with it and what I have my scaling set to. Using my phone for things like texting, facebook, email, and some web browsing on Skyfire, which is what I would consider heavy use, it goes down about 3.5% per hour. Yesterday I went to my little niece's dance class and I used my phone to record video of her entire 60 minute dance class. Battery went down about 30% percent from that but that's to be expected. I remained out of the house for another 8 hours after her class and my phone still had 50% battery left by the time I got home. Wireless tether eats up my battery. But Thats because I am usually tethering while texting and testing launchers and such on my phone.
I do all of this on a stock battery. So I can only imagine how much I'd be able to do with an extended battery.
I get 30+ hours on my extended battery 2600 from sprint. LOL on warm 2.2

Calkulin's E4GT v2.0.1a VS Blazer Rom[12/11/11][v2.0]

They both claim to have great battery life and smooth operations. I am currently running Calk's 2.0. I get over 10hrs for my phone, depending on the usage. And the standby time is amazing. Now I am interested in Blazer 2.0 but I would like to get other peoples comments and opinions before I try it for myself. So, Blazer Rom[12/11/11][v2.0] VS Calkulin's E4GT v2.0.1a!!!! BEGIN!!! "ding ding".
Please and thanks to all.
Im running on phantomhacker's blazor rom and i get about 1% stand by time. With moderate usage (texting, light internet browsing, like 2 5 min phone calls) i got 1 day and 5 hrs. I could have gotten more but i couldnt afford my battery dieing so i had to charge it at 15%. With heavy usage of streaming music via pandora over wifi non stop, texting, and lots of xda i get about 14 hours with 3 hrs of screen on time. I havent taken screen shots but ill take some today at the end of the day.
Edit: mean 1% every 6 hours on standby

.....
I've tried an older version of Calkulin's rom. Didn't like all the rows and stuff with the apps. It was too cluttered for me but much respect to Calkulin. I can't give anything but love and respect to developers. For me the Blazer Rom is faster and better battery life. The best battery life so far of any rom I've tried.
Lately I've been testing out this technique on calibrating the battery and it works well for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273
I tried 2.01. I like everything about the ROM, but it didn't work well on my phone. I experienced worse battery life than stock. With the phone stock, I was having no problems getting through a day on one charge. I think in the time I've had my phone (2 weeks after release) I had to charge it during the day maybe 2 times. Once I put Calkulin's ROM on, I never made it through a whole day, or even close. I suspect the performance tweaks may push the phone to greater battery usage. I was looking for better battery life, not worse.
I had lots of problems with hot boots. If I made a call, I'd get a hot boot after about a minute. If ambient temperature was really cold, I could maybe get 2 or 3 minutes. I got hot boots using various apps, and in some I got none. The phone became unuseable for me. I flashed back to stock.
I suspect that my cpu is not very tolerant of higher temps. YMMV.
I did like the ROM though. I like the 5 buttons on the launcher, the 25 apps in the trays rather than 16, and no CIQ.

No oc or uving, this is complete stock KL1 kernel they way it came with the phone. I actually had great battery life (about 17 hours) on stock, but I switched to other custom kernels and didnt have so great battery life. So, I was looking for a stock kernel and in the end made this one and flashed today. So battery life should be like stock.

Thanks. I am getting ****ty battery life also. I have tried everything, faux's, bullet, synergy's different versions, Gideon's UV scripts, underclocking, undervolting, with complete wipe, different roms, you name it. I still I lose 20+% battery per hour while I read on my phone. 10-11% if its idle. Completely ridiculous. Just tonight I thought of trying the stock kernel. Plus anytime my phone is awake, the top portion of my phone gets hot. I'm hoping its a kernel issue.

That sounds really bad. I was getting horrible battery life on other kernels but not that bad (i got around an average of 7-8 hours on custom kernels). However, one thing about stock kernel is that once you flash it, you have to give it 2-3 days -sometimes more- to get full capacity battery life (around 17 hours heavy use for me).
I'll test it out. My only concern was that the phone would warm up for no reason. The only time my phone can save battery is in flight mode. 7 hours in flight mode take about 5-8% battery. So the issue is most likely radio/kernel related IMO. Even having sync/data off didn't help much. I also average 7-8 hours. It's just that when I have the phone on to a dark screen with white text on it (opera mini, it has no fancy stuff, good reader browser) I would lose at least 15% in about 45 minutes. This is with no music, no data activity at the lowest brightness setting.
So this is my battery life after the first day. I would say today was lots of heavy use for me. Usually around this time im charging from dead, but with this kernel I still have 30 percent left to go. So about 15-16 hours on one charge with heavy use .I've tried all the custom kernels and this is the best I've ever gotten....
This one helped lots. I unplugged my phone at 1AM (100% charged) and then put it in flight mode. At 7AM I turned off flight mode and had used up 1% in 6 hours. From then till 3:30 I went down to 50%.
shehrammajid,
Thanks for the stock kernel. I am also trying to learn how to build a stock kernel. I have made a post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22845175
Can you please take a look at my steps and see where I am going wrong? Also can you post the guide you followed by bubby323?

Battery life poor except for stock

I give up.every ROM I run just doesn't have the battery life expected. Am I expecting to much? Not even Cauks or blazer el29 doesn't give the battery life as stock.don't get me wrong they are all great roms but at least for my device not battery friendly. I'll post some battery stats from BBS if anybody has some free time to see what's going on. I'm on Cauks el29 now.I format everything before flashing and I use cauks format all many times. I'm on the verge of staying on stock roll my eyes.

Well when is the last time you used stock? And if it's been quite a while...consider having your battery checked out. Anyway, I'll continue as if your battery is fine from here on out. Basically, anything but stock tends to have a modified kernel. Even with all the battery tweaks, etc out there, there's a chance that the kernel itself might not play well with your phone. I'm not too versed in that, but I also noticed that the TouchWiz based ICS kernels/ROMs give MUCH better battery life than AOSP based kernels/ROMs such as CM9 and AOKP, etc. This is just basic stuff you might already know, but yeah, just go on and post your battery stats, preferably with a custom rom and a stock rom so we can see the difference and where it lies. Also, I'm running Touched by a Galaxy S3 on my phone and with moderate use (music for maybe a few hours a day, texting, don't really make many calls) I average between 8.5 and 11 hours from 100 to 0. Another thing I'd suggest is download CPU Spy from the Android market, or something similar if you prefer, and post screenshots from that on the custom ROM; the problem with AOSP and certain other GB and TW ICS roms that i've seen is that something prevents the processor from going into deep sleep mode, usually keeping it at 200mhz or higher. Lastly, when you use the custom roms, do you notice the phone getting really hot compared to the stock roms?
I'm assuming you know this but are you letting the battery cycle a few times before passing judgement? I usually spend a week on a rom before I decide if I have good/bad battery life... attached screenie is normal for me with moderate use on mijjhs goodness rom

I always had faster battery drains on ROMs than stock. I see all this awesome battery stats screenshots but noticed they all share one common factor, only 1hrs to 30min screen use. Come on guys why I would want that battery life if to get it I have to barely use the phone makes no sense to me.

Agree, everyone have different experiences, I haven't try that ROM yet, I will test it out later. Have a nice day/night sir.
Sadly I have to agree with OP.
And the previous screenshots at 59% with 1hr, 36 screen on is exactly the issue.
Hard to compare your battery stats with mine since screen on time for my phone will be 4+ hours.
Since there are no standardized testing anyone can do with any rom, any speculation on which rom has better battery life or doesn't is just pure bogus seat of the pants gut feelings.
If there were a standard test that ran like. 5 minutes of mail with 20 mails received, 10 minutes download, 30 mins of playing the exact same video, 13 music tracks of the exact same song all with screen, vibration, brightness, etc all at the exact same level, you could get a real test, but, alas, nobody has a standardized test.
For MY usage, stock clocks in at the same as or better than just about any other rom I've tried, including all the various super scripts out there.
I guess I just overuse my phone!

Another thing I'd suggest is download CPU Spy from the Android market, or something similar if you prefer, and post screenshots from that on the custom ROM; the problem with AOSP and certain other GB and TW ICS roms that i've seen is that something prevents the processor from going into deep sleep mode, usually keeping it at 200mhz or higher. Lastly, when you use the custom roms, do you notice the phone getting really hot compared to the stock roms?

Probably a good 2 weeks since on stock. I tried all ICS but i just used the kernel that it was packed with.THats a good time frame. What is the best kernel to run with roms?

I'm assuming you know this but are you letting the battery cycle a few times before passing judgement? I usually spend a week on a rom before I decide if I have good/bad battery life... attached screenie is normal for me with moderate use on mijjhs goodness rom

Wow thats some crazy battery life. yea ive been on it for a good week. pretty much i stay on it for a week or two and then i do a battery calibrate. what kernel do you use with the Mijjhs Goodness rom
Get a good gb rom and under clock that puppy to 500 or 800. Battery definitely lasts

Also if you use caulks roms flash his under volt script as well. I was using his -75mv script stable. Which equaled amazing battery life.

Sorry to disagree but that is not my experience at all... This is the m'ics rom and is typical of the battery life I get.

How did you get this type of battery life? please share the steps on how you rooted your phone up to the operation.
thanks man.

Thanks for your observation that I'm doing it wrong. What would be appreciated more than telling me your opinion would give me steps in correcting as to "what" i'm doing wrong

Things drain battery. This is my test off wifi for the most part using the phone as a phone with average use. Didn't even log in to Google on this one. Just proof that intensive applications, google services, and anything else added after a "factory flash" can manipulate battery life significantly.
Oh, and check out drain when I'm in less than ideal coverage. Noticeable difference. One huge factor to consider when diagnosing battery life.
It really depends on what you're doing with the phone. Obviously having brightness up playing heavy games with Wimax on will kill battery faster than someone on low brightness reading an ebook with wifi on. That said, i agree that I've had better battery life stock than almost all ics roms.
My life for Aiur

Truth to the last word.. I hate battery life threads too many variables.. I love the part about " using the phone as a phone " you crack me up B..:laugh:
