Well, ill start off by saying "Im james! "
I recently made the switch to android because i absolutely love the capabilities and the functionality. I got myself an Incredible. Rooted and and installed Redemptive revolution and got sucky battery life. Then yesterday it starts raining and gets really cloudy. I lose my 3g coverage about an hour into the storm. Im guessing this is normal? Well i decide to install Myn's two point two, with kinxklick's LV kernel in an attempt to get better battery life.
My current standing: Im running Myn's 2.2 with LV kernel and my 3G is still timing out and crappy. My brother's Dx gets Fair signal during the storm, should i be worried about my phone? Ive wiped several times and i still get like 60 kbps down while he gets above 400 kbps.
So my questions are:
1. Is there something wrong with my incredible? Or is the X's signal generally better then the HTC's?
2. What ROM and kernel combination would give me the best battery life?
Its at :
Android System: 70 %
Display: 16%
Cell Standby: 14%
During the time writing this, my 3G has dropped at least 6 times. Is it normally like this during cloudy rainy weather?
Thank you in advance, and i Love the site by the way!

Lou's #4 is kicking ass with both his and warm.... fast and smooth, battery seems to be killer also.
Your going to heat this 50 times, but this is in the wrong place.
Nothing is (probably) wrong with your phone and its best to try several combinations. I am using MIUI to great success.

0) This forum is for discussion of development issues, not "which is right for me" or "how to use" issues... this should probably be posted in Q&A or General.
However, I hate leaving a question unanswered, so:
1) Signal strength is not related to which ROM you are using, and rather which radio. Look in settings->about phone->Software Info->Baseband version. The 3 current radios are 2.15.00.07.28, 2.15.00.09.01, and 2.15.00.11.19. Depending on your location, one of these three is the version you should use. BE CAREFUL - FLASHING ROMS IS VERY SAFE, BUT AN ERROR FLASHING THE RADIO WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
You could also try *228 to update your roaming as well.
2) This is constantly debated. Typically, horrible battery life is the result of an app running constantly or keeping the phone from sleeping. How does your awake time compare to your up time? Personally, I find that CyanogenMod 6.1 with incredibleK's kernel #18 gives me best battery life... I usually charge it every night to be safe, but can comfortably go two days of moderate use without draining the battery.

Sorry about the wrong forum, but im in the middle of flashing skyraider (3.5?) with King klicks #6. As for awake time and uptime, it used to be roughly the same. Give or take a few min. Ive speed tested on warm, and it still hasnt passed the 100 kbps mark Hows Cyanogen running for everything else?
Also, i cant get passed 1x on skyraider, it stays on "Turning on"
My radio is 2.15.00.07.38
Double check, my awake time is exactly the same as my up time.(Edit: Nevermind, i locked it and now the uptime is 2 min more than the awake time.)

That is a sign that either (a) you are literally using your phone 100% of the time, which will indeed suck batteries down very quickly, or (b) you have some app that is constantly asking for attention and wont let the phone sleep. By comparison, my uptime is 11+ hrs, and my awake time is about 3 hours. It's awake when I am using it, but it sleeps other times (can still receive calls/email/sms in this state). If your phone isn't sleeping when you're not using it, battery wil suffer.
EDIT: If you just rebooted, then it will of course be equal. You should check after you have been booted and running on battery (not plugged in) for a few hours.

No that doesnt work
Try a new radio. Legit, it will probably help a lot.
Research how to check an md5 sum before you actually flash it through hboot, but past that you're set. If the md5's don't match, redownload.
I suggest the 11.19 radio (The new EVO radio). 9.01 also worked well for me, but the EVO one works wonders. I also have a wannabEVO phone, so that might just be me.

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.
Myns warm two point two RLS 5 pri/nv 1.9. Phone has been on 5 hours standby. I have 24% left, what's the problem? I haven't used it much st all since I'm currently at work. 6% without a signal so that isn't it, then what is? Anyone got any ideas?

Do you have wifi or 4G on...? 1.99 has been said to cause battery life problems with people. You can try downgrading to 1.77.
Go to settings/about phone/battery use and see if there are any apps running at the top of the list. My phone was awake all the time and I found "Flight View" to always be at the top of my batt usage so I un-installed it. I also went to settings/applications/running services and closed out a bunch of apps that I didn't need running.
Since I killed the flight time my battery time has gone from 10-12hrs at the most to a steady 16-18. Over the weekend I got 32hrs on a charge which has never happened before.
Wifi for 2 hours and awake time was 1 hour.

If that time without signal is ACTUALLY accurate, and not the classic 'time without signal bug' (I'm not sure if it exists for these newer ROMs at all), then yes, that's probably it.
If you a) have EVDO 3g and/or 4g turned on and
b) are going in and out of signal
that probably means that, wherever you are, you are typically having VERY POOR signal. Do you typically find very low reception bars around wherever you were?
One thing that murders smartphone batteries is low reception.
When reception is weak, the phone gets 'Louder' so that it can communicate with the tower. This requires a LOT of battery power to achieve.
One of the problems with the CDMA Samsung Galaxy S series is exactly this. If I'm in certain towns around my city (Buffalo, NY), my Fascinate battery goes in a few hours (fading in and out of reception, or just very weak reception the whole time, or at least going in and out of EVDO) from a full charge to dead.
If you're actually getting poor reception (as Sprint doesn't offer the best signal strength everywhere), but you usually keep signal (where some other Sprint phones won't, because their antennas can't get 'Loud' enough), your battery is disappearing as a result.
If you can open up Spare Parts app, look at Battery History, then change 'Other usage' to 'Partial wake usage', you might find a culprit killing your battery if you had a lot of awake time. Otherwise, I'd pin it on reception.
BTW, using WiFi instead of EV or 4g uses about 1/5 of the battery per data that you transfer, and the savings is even greater if you have very weak cell signal. Just food for thought.
Ok, it is definitely not an app doing it. I got kik messenger on lock down(force stop when done using) and why does it die fast on wifi too?

flash pri and nv to 1.77 and flash a different kernel. i use sbc, also after the first day u wont see better battery life , for me it takes couple of days. for the first like 2 days i get horrible battery life then like by 3-4 day im good or atleast getting better
Why are people using pri 1.77/nv 1.77 over pri1.90/nv1.90? battery drain, 3g speeds, gps locks?
thank you very much
Some people report a significant battery drain with 1.90 and find 1.70 more reliable, even when running stock.
Sent from my Evo using mikfroyo 4.5
cool. im running stock with some cosmetic mods. trying pri 1.77, nv 1.77 now. i usually prefer to have the latest though.
is 1.90 causing widespread problems or is it fairly isolated?
I know there were problems using the new PRI and NV with a ROM that wasn't based on the new release as well. Now that most if not all of the custom ROMs are based on that version, I'm not sure if there are any widespread problems with the current NV and PRI. I'm using the latest and haven't seen problems with Myn RLS5 or mikfroyo 4.5 (just started with that one though).
cool. the vibe im getting is that 1.90pri/nv works well with stock 3.70. ill run 1.77 tomorrow and see how my battery life does. i wish there were a place we could see changes made to the pri/nv files and compare them with each other...my battery life seemed fine with 1.90 but if it can be better with 1.77, ill take it. also like fast gps locks.
still craving input! thanks!!
I am actually running CM7+4G and had 1.77 and noticed that my 3G speeds were terrible. I was maybe getting .3 down and .4 up max every run. I flashed 1.90 and now my speeds are 1.10 down and .80 up. Much improved. I personally didn't notice a difference in battery life. Course I've had my phone off the charger a few times with over three days so unless I leave it unplugged forever I don't notice big differences. Using a 1750 MaH battery from BB.

I haven't had any issues running the 1.77 folks say faster 3g speed and better battery life so far everything been running great for me no bad slow data speeds.

yeah just download it out of the thread in the Dev section, and flash it like a rom, it will ask you to reboot your phone, it will then apply the "update" and the kick you back to the recovery and your done.

Do you update them both at the same time?
One after the other, I could be wrong.
Swyped from my sexy EVO.
Since my 003 Evo appears to work fine, but I get the most pathetic battery life regardless of the ROM, etc, this is of great interest to me. Can anyone tell me if the poor battery life that they experienced using the 1.90 was only related to a sleep issue...as in the phone didn't sleep properly with the 1.90?
I ask because my phone appears to sleep fine. If I leave it dark overnight for 8-hours, the awake time is under an hour.
Also if one wants to experiement with this, should the PRI and NV always be flashed together? The versions appear to match exactly so it would seem to make sensethat they go together.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

cool. the vibe im getting is that 1.90pri/nv works well with stock 3.70. ill run 1.77 tomorrow and see how my battery life does. i wish there were a place we could see changes made to the pri/nv files and compare them with each other...my battery life seemed fine with 1.90 but if it can be better with 1.77, ill take it. also like fast gps locks.
still craving input! thanks!!

exactly my thoughts..
is pri & nv the same? I was going to try and flash the 1.77 but I wanted to make sure that the prii 1.77 radio is all that I need to flash.
Thanks
No they aren't the same; you should flash both of them though.
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
Baseband version: 2.15.00.05.02
Kernel version: 2.635.10-Agressive-Freedom-v0.9+
PRI version: 2.15_003
PRL version: 60686
Any help would be appreciated.
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.

Have you tried flashing different rom? Or different kernel. Some phones don't like certain roms with kernels, try different kernel first because your most definitely have wakelock issue. Try to use amon ra recovery to flash.

Would you recommend I do that or follow this guide?
What other kernels would you recommend I flash to?

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.

Your battery may need to be replaced. I had the same problem, and bought another battery and my problems subsided.

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?
