Okay, I know there is a billion threads on this but I have multiple questions. My first is; I am using juice defender after flashing myn's warm 2.2 with battery mod ana I'm only getting 1.1x so I just disabled it. I am not getting great battery life at all. About 5-7 hours, moderate use. No 4g, no bluetooth, and sadly wifi times out so I can't use that.

setcpu i use it at 800 mhz and i run 11 hours no problem and screen off set to 345 i think its well worth the money

try using other kernel that myn's post in his thread.
it's a trial and error process, but I got 15 hours with 5 hours up time using ziggy's kernel.
I was going to say the same thing. I'm using net 4.2 cfs bfs more havs smartass. Getting great battery life and if you flash a kernel give it about two days to let it set in. before you flash it fully charge it, wipe cache, then wipe battery stats, and then flash it.

i dont understand how people get great battery even when using this phone,i have ava froyo v8 rom and using stock kernel, i have tried netachy and kings kernel on previous roms but never got past 2 hours max of use, people get 24-30 hours up and 3-6 hours awake, what do i do?
use bakedsnack 1.7 ROM.. it provides an awesome battery life, my evo last about 32 hours under normal/moderate use

Hey guys, im using MikFroyo 4.4, stock kernel, no app killer. Im getting about 15 hours of what most would consider light-moderate use.
Im wondering what i can do to extend this without losing features. Is anyone getting better battery life and if so how?
custom kernel? overclock/underclock? other tweaks?
Thanks.
I use an SBC kernel (SBC #15 v7 from MS79723). There's rumors that it causes battery meltdowns, but from my experience I find that highly unlikely. I've been unplugged for 11 hours and I'm at 60% with what most consider moderate usage (about 100-150 texts, some light web browsing, a phone call or two, a few levels of angry birds). I'm also using Slayer's Cyan Dragon theme which looks badass but I'm not sure what it does for battery life (lessens it, makes it better, i dunno). The set up seems to be working pretty well after a couple of days of the kernel reading accurate battery stats.
I also reboot every morning when I wake up before I unplug to close any programs I still had running from the prior evening. Hope that helps.
Cool, anyone else using the same? different? Thanks guys
I too have been using SBC kernels for a while now with no problems and excellent battery life. Im also running a rom based on Mik's. Im using the 131 sbc kernel and i could not be happier. I also run setcpu for a screen off profile.
There are many different ways to conserve battery do a search. I believe HTC admits we should only get like 6 hours use. Try different kernals and see what works best, but give each one a couple charging cycles before deciding. The setup im using is great but peoples phones react differently.
Thanks for the input guys. I have been searching but i wanted some direct input.
Do you guys use app killers/memory managers too?I was using auto memory manager, but decided it was having little or no benefit at the cost of occassionally having to reload the UI.
Also what does SBC stand for?
Thanks everyone

I do not use anything but set cpu. Do a search for sbc theres a thread that gives all the explanation of different kernal terminology but im not sure exactly where it is
Ok cool, yea i looked it up last night and figured out what things like SBC and Havs are.
So what kind of battery life are you guys getting?
What kernel are u using with setcpu? you cant use that with stock kernel right?

You can, you just can't overclock on the stock kernel.
Kernel:
Netarchy 4.3.1 cfs-havs-sbc
Set CPU:
Screen off - 245 min 576 max
Screen on - 998 max 245 min (conservative)
Juice Defender:
Data turns off when screens off, reneables after unlock only. Enables every hour for 3 minutes to check email and such.
Task Manager: Quick system info task killer widget (only when I need to free memory for a heavy game)
Been listening to radio.com app over Bluetooth headphones while connected to wifi for 3.5 hours. Down to 76% from full charge.
Normal daily use for me is 200 texts, 50 or so emails, hour of calls, 2 hours of web, and at least 30 minutes of games. I take the phone off the charger at 7:30am and I can go till midnight no problem.
Friday I did a reboot at 10:50 am from a full charge and at midnight I was at 62% with a little lighter usage than listed above.
Thanks, sounds like the two most used kernels are netarchy and SBC. Any other good ones?

Welcome to the scene. Sorry for the smartass comment, literally just read the sprint echo announcement and had some anger to get out. Try mikfroyo with either launcher pro or adw ex for serious speed and smoothness. I prefer launcher pro for the sense like widgets without the sense like lag.

Does anyone have any problems on the evo? I am currently running myn's warm rls 5 w netarchy latest cfs, no havs, no uv, no sbc. So far it has been pretty decent. I am using it as I type. Are there any ways to test benchmark statistics wise what is too low for the evo. My current 1152 cons setting gets me in the 40s hr use wifi at home and a full time job. Whats your experiences w similar?

If I read your post right... you are getting 40hrs of use from your phone with a single charge and its overclocked?...
Sorry.. I don't believe you. Not unless you don't use the thing at all. Are you on a 3500mah battery too?.
The only time I have ever gotten my phone even close to 40grs was with 4g and wifi off and barely used it at all... and by "even close" i mean about 29hrs
Well, that's your opinion. I spend 18 to 20 hours away from wifi and the rest around 12m internet. It stayed off the charger and lost 3% in 9 hours last night. 35 to 40 is my avg. I have made it 60 once but I was around my wifi all weekend. I was just asking if anyone has had issues underclocking the snapdragon.
Sent from my warm EVO
Oh, OK, so you barely used it, got it.
And underclocking, never found any advantage at all. I seem to get better battery not using any over or underclocking.
Well, I am using it lol. I am at work now. I have freedom at my job to use it an keep it w me. I have spent a lot of time flashing and dialing these roms and kernels to my liking and have great battery life now. Thanks for letting me know ur experience on underclocking. I didnt start this post to make mine seem amazing lmao I just started it to hear other experiences. I also had to revert to 1.77 nv/pri because I had 100% wake time. Since then it's been nice and stable.

Which .37 kernel gives the best battery life? I flashed Incredikernel last night and then charged the phone. This morning I used it for 10 minutes to check emails and the battery went from full to 79.
Oh, and I'm running CM7 RC2
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I'm also very interested in this. I just recently rooted/flashed CM7 RC2, and the battery life has been quite disappointing so far. Even with the unnecessary services turned off, my battery drains quite quickly.
I am rolling with SkyRaider 3.5, Lou's #8, an 1800mah battery and this morning, I shocked myself!
I left my house w/88% charged. Took my son to the dentist - used the phone for probably 44 minutes during that, just goofing off, reading, tweaking and whatevering ...
When I left the dentist office, 77%. Drove to work (1 hour) ... sitting at 74%.
I am also running the evo radio - which some say helps or doesn't - but I'm as happy as can be.
I turned off all of the memory management stuff and the phone is lasting longer...
I should also add - that I use Juice Defender, however when USING your phone, it is "defenseless". I find it to help me a lot with my "in my pocket" battery life. You still get txt and calls, you just don't get internet traffic.
YMMV
Where did you turn off the memory management features?
I've been using ziggys latest on Incredibly Re-Engineered Z and having great battery life. 14 hrs today off charger and was still at 50%.

I've been reading around the forums in different threads and Man there is a lot to catch up on since I've always been an Epic 4g owner and not an Evo 4g owner. I've found a few threads about battery life and so far have installed 4 roms to test briefly battery life and none are giving me the same as my epic or close to it which was 0-2% drop an hour when Idle.(Sitting on my desk on 3g or wifi) Gone through cm7, Miui(Currently on) and 2 of the new sense 3.0-3.5 roms (Energy and nocturnal)
Kernel currently Tiamat 3.3.7 and I've tried the latest one 4.0.1 or something.
So far i've found the Vipermod kernel undervolt tweak, V6supercharger Option 7 (used before), 3g turbo charge script, and also applying gps fix from Miui thread.
Any suggestions on other tweaks I should flash ? Is myns tweak out dated or needed from this thread? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/tweaks-for-superb-battery-life-in-evo/
I always freeze DRM but with the epic I found other processes starting with SNS to freeze, are these not on the Evo4g? or are they called something different? Also I don't see a System Update process that I used to see on the Epic and would freeze.
Calibrated method I use is charging to 100 percent and just using the Battery Calibrate app in the market. Its the first one that comes up when you search.
Any rom suggestions that I should flash to get better battery life? I need to use my phone for pleasure and work so everything needs to work except 4g and video recoding 720p. I need everything else operational.
Also any suggestions on other battery saving techniques would be greatly appreciated. I've got plenty experience with the Epic 4g but the evo 4g is so old school i feel like this device loves to eat battery way more than the epic when being used and when not being used.
FYI i have a moderate to heavy user.
EDIT: for those who could gain from this post, I'm going to be following Carhaulers recommended settings. Hopefully i get better battery life and everything runs smooth.
GB-evo-deck 1.3d or MIUI's latest creation
Tiamat v3.3.7-SBC aka the "LEE" kernel
Under Clocked @ 128/499MHz <<128/499MHz IS the new 245/998MHz>>
Under Volted @ -100mV total w/ IncrediControl
Results SO far and a Sense Question.
So as an answer to my own Question i've added the following items in my signature for my Evo 4g and I have no idea how this phone is operating so well at 128 HZ - 499HZ but wow its working smoothly. Battery is pretty sweet also. Still calibrating, drained it completely today and am charging right now to full with it powered off. Only time will tell.
I've had the phone off the charger for roughly 20 hours with no use for 50 percent of the time and the other 50 percent I was playing pandora, browsing xda/engadget, and playing 30-minutes to an hour of games. Not bad so far. Its better than it was before. Now this goes to saying i am uving like a mofo and underclocking.
New Question for those who read this, Is there a Sense Rom that will give equal if not better battery than what i'm seeing so far? and does COD tweaks work with sense roms?
MikG 2.61 rom works great and has great battery. Might want to try out Chopsuey 9.2.7 kernel with it as well.

Well im not so sure about this but.
Isnt the epic still on froyo?
Cause in my experience all the old froyo roms for the evo gave me way better battery life than the gingerbread roms.
I could get like 24-30 hours on myns warmtwopointtwo rom. Which is froyo. I only get anywhere from 12-15 hours on all the new gb roms.

The Epic's up to Gingerbread now, as of early November (finally). Froyo ROMs did get excellent battery life... I did like Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, paired with a Netarchy SBC kernel... An incredible combination. I can still match that on Gingerbread, but Warm was awesome.
