is it possible that because i had a cpu governor set from an older kernal still active, that it could cause big problems for my battery [i had some smartass governors from net 4.2.1 and changed back to 4.1.9, also bfs to cfs] and ive been noticing my battery dying beyond rapidly, from 100 to 40 in just 4 hours with nothing more than a few..hundred.. texts, but usually that only eats up about mabey 20% battery, and the governor was the only thing i could find to possibly cause to problem.
It's possible that an application is keeping your phone on wakelock.
Download system panel and spare parts so you can see which app's and using all the juice up. I highly doubt its an old governor from another kernel.

probably shoulda mentioned, i checked all that, im not new to my battery dying but its just never been so horrible in my life and that was literally the only thing out of the norm i could find anywhere. could it have been a bad kernal flash? it was probably the first time ive not flashed after a fresh install and mabey something went wrong?

Are you overclocking? If it is set too high, the phone will lag and freeze. 998400 Hz is the normal stock clock speed.
It could also be the HAVS. I had bad lag with first iteration of HAVS in version 4.1.2.0. I have read others have experienced the same. Try flashing version 4.1.8.0 bfs and see if that doesn't help.

Re: Lag Issue
It could be a runaway IQFD process.
If i had to guess ti is probably the IQFD problem that many people (including myself) are having. currently i ahvent seena permenant fix but i ussually power down remove the battery put it back in and reboot and it seems to take care of it for a few days.
Maybe if more people start aving this problem someone will figure out if there is a way to prevent it.

It most likely is.. for the time being I switched to Kings #6 and have no issues
yea i have it happen less with Kings #6 but it still happens it just seems to take it a while its weird. At first i thought it might have something to do with all the new fun stuff that was recently introduced (HAVS BFQ BFS SVS) but someone said they are getting this with a stock kernel if this is true then i am at a loss for what it could be. i know i never got this issue until the above was introduced.
Iqfd issues here as well. Sometimes simply killing all processes with SystemPanel works. Sometimes it doesn't so I have to reboot and pull the battery.
What is IQFD anyways??
...in 1943, I killed a drifter.
I had a similar problem with random lag and other unexplanable problems when using any bfs kernel I tried. Finally came to the same conclusion that a lot of others have come to. Bfs doesn't work very well, great for benchmarks, but sucks for everyday use. Since going to Netarchy's 4.1.9.1 cfs kernel I haven't had any of these problems.

I think it's part of an embedded software package that gathers information for HTC and Sprint on how and where we use our phones.
As a base comparison, while I was running the stock HTC software (3.70) I could go 15-17hrs a day on a single charge. My typical day was to unplug the phone at about 8am and plug back in at about midnight. My average usage of the phone would be a little time in Angry Birds, a lot of crossword puzzles with an app called Shortyz (typically 2-3hrs a day), a lot of texting and email and some phone calls. Sometime I would have some usage of Google Nav. Wifi would be on 100% of the time, even when not connected to a network. When I finally plugged the phone back in I would typically have between 20-30% of the battery life left.
I flashed MikFroyo last week. Initially I did not wipe the user data first. I did wipe cache/dalvik. Updated profile and PRL on first boot. Everything was working fine, however, battery life was terrible. My typical battery life running MikFroyo has been 7-8hrs. About 1/2 what I was getting. And, with a typical day keeping me out of the house and away from a charger for 15hrs or more this is not a good situation. I am still using the phone the same way.
A few days ago I thought maybe the better actually had more life but the battery status was reporting it wrong. So, I wiped the battery stats, ran the battery down to 0 and then fully charged the phone. So far, I am getting the same reporting on the battery life.
Yesterday I had 100% at noon after another charge and by 6pm I was down to 20%. I love this rom and would like to keep running it if I can figure out how to get my old battery life back.
Thinking that it may have had something to do with the full wipe first I reflashed the rom, this time I did a full wipe/cache/dalvik twice before flashing the rom again. Battery life is still horrible. This does not make sense to me with MikFroyo using the same kernel as the HTC software and with all the bloatware that was removed plus my use of Titanium to freeze even more useless apps.
Anyone have any ideas what I can check to try to restore my original battery life?

It depends what is causing it.
I just checked again and the uptime and awake time are only a few seconds apart. So, it appears that I do have an issue with the phone remaining awake after it turns off the screen.

Can't give you a battery comparison as I am on a 3500 mAh battery with netarchy 4.3.1-cfs-nohavs-nosbc Kernel.
You may want to flash a new Kernel and see if that helps as well. Won't be an apples to apples comparison with the stock sense with stock kernel, but if you are looking for better battery in general, I know that it has definitely improved mine.

Many people have reported 100% awake time with the 1.90 and different ROM/Kernel combinations. There is debate on what it actually is ... I won't go into that but give it a shot you shouldn't have ill effects and I'm betting the 100% wake will be fixed. If not you can always go back to 1.90. If you search there are plenty of threads on this. It was just discussed in the Mik thread also. Calkin has a whole thread on it. I'm on xda app right now or I'd post a link its "all radio wimax pri versions" or something. Just grab the 1.77 pri zip and flash away. Let me know how it works.

I had an issue with battery life with the first MikFroyo I flashed and the PRI downgrade was the answer. Also a netarchy kernel helped even more.
I flashed PRI v1.77 and netarcs 4.3.1 cfs-havs-nosbc. Will let you all know how it goes. I don't want to jump the gun either way without giving it some time to really show me what it will do.
There is nothing wrong with the PRI or the rom! You should find what is keeping the phone up. It certainly is not a PRI!

Apparently there is still something going on. The Uptime vs Awake time seems to be more in line now but the battery is still dropping like a rock. It has only been off the charger a couple of hours with about 10min of uptime and it has already lost 25% of the battery.
So far today all I have used the phone for is about 20 minutes worth of calls and three text messages. Any other suggestions about what I should check?

List what Apps you have installed, how often you have stuff set to sync, etc.
What are your current awake vs Up times? Are you using it as much as your up time says?
Also, netarchy says
NOTICES: If you are noticing abnormally high battery drain and/or uptime, and you've updated to PRI 1.90, it has come to my attention
that this PRI has been problematic for a number of people, often resulting in large uptimes and/or poor battery life.
This issue affects people regardless of whether or not they are using a custom kernel
Downgrading your PRI and NV to 1.77 has been reported to resolve this issue.

Yep, I like it a LOT. I haven't gotten any FC or problems except with SetCPU but that was because I had set on boot checked. Everything else is phenomenal! It seriously is like SBC without the SBC, netarchy is the man. I'm off the charger for 3 hours today and at 90% after medium-heavy use (GPS, Gmail, etc).
With all the advice you're getting here (cannot necessarily disagree w/ anything altho I've had no problems on PRI 1.90)...once thing to keep in mind. Make sure you give any new kernel you flash 2 to 3 full battery cycles (full charge to dead back to full). You won't get a good idea for how it's working w/out a large enough sample size.
I seem to have run into some kind of battery drain issue. It occurs every few days and a reboot always fixes it for a few more days.
An example was this morning. I pulled the phone off the charger. I drove to a location about 10 minutes away, put the phone down and it literally sat idle for 1.5 hours. When I picked up the phone, the battery life was down to 62%. It started at 100%.
Most times when I sit the phone down for any length of time, the percentage barely dropa, maybe two to three percent.
As I said, if I reboot the phone, the drain will stop for a few days.
At the moment, the cpu is running 20% with the highest consumed by the xda app. Battery shows an uptime of ~85 hours with an awake time of ~20 hours. My current Current is 378mA.
My usage shows 23 standby. 23 wifi. 22 phone idle. 21 Android. 8 display.
These numbers, I think, are okay.
What else can I look at?
I am rooted, running VaelPak 3.1 on a nohavs nosbc kernel. I've also been running into a issue where I have to reboot the phone by pulling the battery because a reboot done through software doesn't complete. On the way back up I see a FC on System.
So, I have a work around but I really want to crack the mystery.
Any thoughts, anyone?
Rebooting now...
Sounds like something is running in the background sometimes and draining the battery. Restarting must kill the process/app. Personally id just wipe the phone and reinstall everything again. Idk if the PRI/NV issues only affect certain ROMS or phones, but if you look into the netarchy-toast mod thread its says that version 1.90 can cause battery drain issues. Since downgrading to 1.77 i have had no issues.
Ok but if you downgrade doesn't that mess up? Or no?

Well, I couldn't really say. I believe PRI and NV are scripts that can be applied via ROM Manager after your ROM load. That's how it works with VaelPak anyway. Can't say another the other ROMs as I've never run them...
So no matter what rom i load on my phone i get the same thing.... it will not wake up and i have to remove the battery. Now on stock its fine! but any rom.. and yes i have tried them.. numerous times.. Right now i have AOSP genocide 2 and its working the best. I can go 4 or 5 hours before i need to do a battery pull (sometimes). This morning i have had to do i battery pull twice but now it seems to be fine.
Now its not over clocking that is doing it. I have been all through that. My phone blazes when at 1.3ghz but will not turn back on ever with out a battery pull. right now there is no overclocking and voltage control is denied root. This seems to be working the best.
I really want something besides the stock rom. mainly because my phone is snappier and the battery life is wayyyyyyy better. So is it just my phone? Should i bring it into sprint and get a new epic?

Are these freezes ONLY happening when running o/c? If so, then your hardware might not like o/c speeds. Please clarify that it is not an o/c issue due to the information you provided above.
If you're stable and having no locking issues on stock, then flash ROMS/kernels and of the bat start boosting to o/c speeds then seeing instability, how/why are you ruling out it's not a o/c or hardware limitation?

I don't think sprint will swap your phone out just because you can't manage stable o/c speeds on your phone. LOL
Sounds like you need to do the classic Wipe 3X before flashing.
Sorry guys i should have been more clear. I am not a noob i always wipe 3x. It is not a O/C issue. I have gone through all the clocking and my phone just does not like it.. I can live with that. What i am saying is even when not O/C and denying all access from anything that could effect my processor the ROM's Still don't work right. They freeze even with NO O/C at all! Every one of them. So i am thinking i just got the bad end of the silicon?
Also i relies Sprint will not just exchange my phone.. But im sure i could come up with something lol.
Well i really like my epic but i am thinking of switching to the photon if i cant get the ROMS to work right. I really wanted to wait until next year to upgrade.

It's not the overclocking that causes your phone to go into sleep of death, it is the low end. 100 Mhz causes sleep of death on a lot of phones on a custom ROM. Set your minimum frequency to 200 Mhz and you will be fine. Don't change any of the stoick voltages.
Try using stock speeds (400-1000). Then work your way incrementally in both directions to see which frequency(ies) cause your issues. Each phone is unique, so find the sweet spot.
I get the black screen of death about twice a month running twilight 1.1.1. My phone runs 200-1000 with no undervolting and set on conservative. I'm just too lazy to bother playing with settings since I'm holding out for SRF 1.3 to release.
I have a really frustrating problem with my HTC Evo.
My battery doesn't even last me 6 hours.
The battery was never great but now it seems to be much much worse.
I can charge the phone to 100% and 20 minutes later it will be at 70% with little to no use.
I checked the battery use list and the display is using the bulk of the battary at 48%.
I don't see any rouge apps that are consuming my battery.
I noticed that the Up time and Awake time are exactly the same. This doesn't seem normal.
The Awake time should be the time the phone is actually in use, right?
I have tried many times to calibrate my battery using the BatteryCalibration app but it doesn't seem to help.
In the Battery Calibration app it lists the current charge at 8% with 3647mV.
The mV amount seems quite high for 8% battery left. Shouldn't the mV be closer to 0?
I am using Scott's CleanRom 1.1

It seems like a wakelock issue. I am not sure how to fix it. There are a few threads about it though. I know you have to enter some commands in terminal emulator and that will fix your problem.

You can try to do that, it might work. Just to be honest with you that rom is a bit old. Maybe you can try classic by tommytomatoe or sos by swagstr or team nocturnal rom. Let it run for a day or two. Then if you don't like regular kernel, you can try Calne's kernel or chop suey.

Battery problems with HTC
I'm also having charge retention problems with my HTC phone, but I thought it might be partly my own fault for using so much tethering. I tried to drain it all the way to see if that would help, but it doesn't seem to have done much. Almost no use of the phone today, and it's already dropped a lot. However, I think the more serious symptom is that it doesn't seem to charge above 80% or 90% even on its happiest days.
As regards the usage meter, that's pretty clearly bogus. Right now it shows that the usage was Cell standby (57%), Phone idle (36%), Android System (5%), and Display (2%). Nothing about the apps I briefly used. There are a couple of apps that will sometimes show up, but usually it's just about like that--and useless.
My carrier has offered to replace the battery, but the charge is about the same as breaking the contract two months early--and that is what I am inclined to do. Nor do I forgive my carrier for having dropped HTC phones. They should have checked more carefully before they sold me this dog in the first place. Everything good I credit to Android, but everything bad is HTC. At least that's how I feel about it.
The phone is not that old, but it has always been problematic and HTC has never been helpful. I would start another 'I hate HTC' thread, but that's apparently against the website's policy. I saw one such thread as I was cruising around, and it had a bunch of posts in the few minutes before it was locked. Anyway, a list of all the problems this phone has given me would not be amusing...
Have you tried setcpu with custom profiles, change kernel(check posts for good ones for your rom), when you flash do u wipe battery stats?
