Battery and Speed - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Day three on the Rom and speed is no longer an issue. However, I am still having issues with the battery draining quicker than stock. Any recommendations, especially from the folks who are getting 15 hours.

Change the performance settings to battery and see if that helps.

I'm sorry, as this rom is new to me, how do I make this change? Will the phone still be peppy? It took a few days for the phone to settle in, and I would hate to lose the performance.

Always read the opening post, then read it twice in case you missed something....

Well I've never tried it so can't say. However do you have a rouge app maybe? Do you have a lot of Widgets on your home screens? Did you turn off background data,gps,etc?? All these play a major roll in battery life. Did you do a fresh install?

Fresh install. Wiped even everything three times. Only widgets are the clock and Google Music. Of course the phone lists the screen as 70% of the usage.

I'm going on 24 hours with 55 percent remaining.
Some days battery kicks ass, others it drains rather quickly. I'm gonna blame it on network changes.

Big battery increase..

So I use my phone quiet a bit like almost constantly and I usually struggle to get 5-6 hours out of my phone.. I had done an avs antivirus pro scan and deleted a few useless sprint apps (using avs antivirus pro if you go into tools and tuneup) then I did a battery calibration the next morning when I had 100%,(which I had done before) ive now been today gotten a little over 8 hours! (actually the final time I got was 8 hours 8mins and 8 seconds )
Just a tip dont know if this will be consistant for everyone post back your results if you try it!
(this photo isnt quite at 8 hours but that 1% of battery life lasted quite a long time!)

Best I've gotten so far. That was during an average work day, heavy usage before and after work with moderate usage while at work during smoke breaks and such.

Or you could just turn off mobile data expect when you need it.
I'm going to see what I can get with it underclocked to 750mhz(second core disabled) and mobile data turned off.
This is on Rock rom, with the 1.3ghz rom from it, and I uninstalled moto portal and task manager.

You posted on the kernel thread that underclocking to 750mhz disables the second core. I tried it on multiple kernels and it gave me similar results on all of them, in battery life and benchmarks.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
That only worked on that one kernel.
I'll be making another soon

The worst observed battery life was about 3 hours when using the phone in a poor signal location and doing lots of web surfing. Max battery life observed so far was 37 hours just about 5 days ago.
I had good improvement after killing Sprint apps too. I still need a bigger battery through....

Another screen shot proving Insanely good battery life

This phone has the battery life locked down probably second best to the DROID razor max

You're on pace for 20 hours according to this.
I broke 60 hours with my OG EVO on CM7, and consistently got 40. That said, I'm still happy with this battery life! I just need one day and I'm happy.

It's a big step for HTC and android
Apparently the scepticsicm on sealed battery backfired
The og evo ALWAYS HAD CRAP BATTEEY LIFE. UNLESS ON A EXTENDED BATTEEY.
I'm not sure what alien programmed your og evo, but I found them all to be junk for battery life and I owned least 15
I still say in my opinion the evo lte has the s3 beat in design looks battery life all of it.
It's a very good phone

My best on my OG evo was 3.5 days (battery 0) of normal (light) use.

I remember seeing some screenshots of insanely good battery life on the og evo then finding out the ones who posted the screenshots had extended batteries lol
This is with just over 3 hours of screen on time. My record is 6 hours of screen on after 16 hours, with about 15% of battery left.
Probably the best I've gotten so far after using it all day.

My battery is nor bad when I use the phone to make calls or sms but when I use it for browsing using google chrome or chatting using whatsapp its become very bad it dropped about 20% / hour when I use it for browsing with the screen setting on automatic. I'm still running stock thhough . Any input on how to make it last longer? If I use the phone just to make calls and sms it can last me more than a day.

What I would do is adjust your brightness manually. I work 3rd shift though, so my brightness is pretty much always @ 15%. The screen is what eats up the most battery, so logically using less backlight will lower that.
When I watch movies over netflix I lose about 15-20% an hour. 5 hours of streaming video is pretty good.
Ow okay, thx ill try that. I thought is the data transfer that eats up the battery as the phone get hot when theres data transfers going.
Anyway I want to try to install the mean Rom as most people says it has a battery saver function that supposedly make the battery life a little bit longer.

Kudos to the Pimp My Rom app

I have a rooted N2 with a stock rom. After installing the pimp my rom app- alpha version from Google Play... I am getting tremendous battery life. 3 days without a charge (moderate to light use).
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Pretty sure that is just the phone and large battery . I get two days in one charge and moderate to heavy use without that app. Mind adding some more detail as to what you are doing with that app or what songs you use ?

I get roughly 4 days of standby and 4 hours screen time between charges.

Exactly. I barely touched my phone today. 38mins of screen time. And that 38mins was CSR on lunch. With the battery on the N2, you dont need any fancy battery saving apps.

Was also at 32%. If I hadn't of charged that little bit, it would have been at around 5-10%.
My intent was to speed up Stock. What I got was both speed and increased battery life. I/O tweaks, Kernel, sysctl, process priorities and much more.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I've gotten 5-6 hours of screen time already on my phone, and I could probably go almost 3 days between charges during the week if I really wanted to.
How is it?

A bunch of build.prop edits and init.d scripts, 90% of which are placebos, the other 10% of which are probably already in any ROM or kernel you're running.

Screen on time JB

Anyone know of an app that shows the exact screen on time for jelly bean like how it used to be displayed in previous android versions? I found one a while ago but I can't seem to find it again.

I think gsam battery monitor will give you the screen on times. Or flash one of the aosp Roms and it will be in the settings. Not sure why htc took it out.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yeah I seen that in a couple aosp roms. I always ditch them tho because I don't have great battery life on them and my radios act slower. There was an app that literally replicated the regular screen on time thing.

You'll get nice gains with ROMs using dark modes available in settings or inverted gapps. I prefer the one click option in settings. May help narrow your search.

folks I have come to the conclusion that this CLASS OF PUNK is merely trolling. he has some simple issue for anybody else, yet it is pancreatic cancer to him. he has one of these issues almost every week, and I have responded every week. you will never get a response as to your suggestion helped or his issue being resolved.
from everything I gather, he is just making things as difficult as possible for himself. most of his issues could be resolved by him actually reading the Super Everything Thread. i dont think he wants to be helped.
I know this is a thread about helping people, not a thread about how many thanks you can get. but it is a courtesy to let people know that you issue was solved.
Dude i thanked the first guy who gave me a reply and alot of times when i don't respond is because i am working sorry for any convenience And as of now still i get little more battery juice the jellybamsandwich gave me around 3 hrs of battery juice so that's a plus sorry guys for not responding
