ok, does the htc evo 4g lte have an ambient temperature sensor, if not this sucks, is there a way its built into the hardware and we can get it to work on ics or jelley bean

ghost investigations, because ambient temperature is great for detecting ghosts...i did alot of research on this and its something like....some smartphones have them, which ones i dont know, and its been deprecated in later builds of android, but there might be a way around it i dont know

The battery temp sensor is there to keep the battery from overheating. It wouldnt do any good for air temperatures.
Honestly, I dont see much use to a sensor for the air.

Agreed...especially because the accuracy of an air temperature sensor would probably be compromised due to the heat generated by other internal components. I live in Texas though, so my phone's internal temperature is usually about the same as the air temperature anyway :thumbdown:

OK, I have written an app to attempt and stop call wonkyness on CM7 builds. Specifically the phone locking up when making and receiving calls.
It's my observation that it's the mic that causes the phone to lock up and so this app opens and closes the mic every minute to keep it "fresh". It's a long shot, but I can't seem to duplicate wonkyness with it enabled so I'm posting it for other to try.
Now after a few positive comments to help boost my confidence in the app, I've made it's own thread to make it easy to track comments.
Just install and run (or just reboot as it auto-start on boot). To disable, uninstall it.
Please post your results!
Change Log:
Version 1.4
Made service more persistent by adding notification bar. Turns out, Android was killing off the service when memory was running low causing wonk to surface.
Version 1.3
Can only be installed on internal memory. Needed to make sure the service can started up on boot. (Thanks to mjukis for pointing this out)
Version 1.2
Only dewonkificates when screen is off to avoid conflicts with any apps you may be using.
Removed debug logging
[Post edited because the wonkyness is still there and this .apk works fine to fix it]
Dude.... As best as I can tell in 20 minutes' time, this damn thing seems to actually work! Gotta tell ya how skeptical I was....but I'm pretty flippin' pleased right now!
Good looking out!!
Much appreciated for this app.
While it's still too early to say it's 100% working, so far so good.
I have had the wonk since build 3 to 23 (except for 16).
I will keep testing and report back often.
That's great news and I'm happy that it looks like it's working for people. I was on the edge of rolling back and this was a desperate attempt to fix it.
Agree with the op. Can't say for sure its the miracle I've been waiting for... but 4 calls in (admittedly 2 from myself, ) no wonks. When I'd expect all to be wonky
If this 'wonklessisity' continues you will surely become supreme ruler of xda!
Will report back soon.

Currently I can't see any measurable battery drain. Dewonkificator doesn't even show on the About phone->Battery use screen. Increasing the time between dewonkification might be work, but since battery doesn't seem to be a issue and we don't know what the source of the problem is I don't think its worth risking or investigating.
I also believe it have something to do with the mic, since all apps that use it have the same freeze, and it seems to work for me. Thanks

Wonky just visited me when my wife called. Installed your dewonky app for testing.

This bug is the reason I got off CM7 nightlies, so damn annoying. Maybe this is a Gingerbread thing rather than a Nexus S problem cause the Nexus S is supposed to be rebooting itself while in calls as I'm sure everyone knows.
How the heck is it possible that while screen-off, my battery usage is between -401 and -495 mA? Is this normal? GSM version btw.
I had an android HD2, it uses average of -3mA
I know this sounds stupid, but have you installed any apps? HTC has said most battery drain issues are due to "bad" apps. Maybe do a nandroid, wipe data, and perform the same test from a stock clean ROM?

Might be an obvious question but do you have a Live Wallpaper enabled?
check your battery use in the settings. That'll help narrow what the cause is. Also keep an eye on your signal strength. Switching between roaming an not roaming takes a toll on the battery. Weaker signals also mean the phone is working harder to keep the signal. You can also go to Applications -> running services to see if anything instslled is keeping the phone awake.

Same exact problem here. My HD2 would use anywhere from 2-6 ma on idle with the screen off. This was running a non-sense ROM of course (CM7 or Vanilla 2.3).
My 3VO is still stock and it idles at anywhere from 40 to 300+ ma. It makes no sense. My HD2 got far better battery life with a much smaller battery.
I think once we get rid of stupid ass sense and get a clean AOSP/CM7 build, things will be much nicer.

Practically, how much is your battery life dropping? Example: 100% to 60% in 2 hours? And what was the phone used for in that duration.
For example, If I charge my CDMA EVO 3D to 100% at 9pm and unplug it and leave it idle overnight, it goes from 100% to 98% by 7am. So, on idle, it drops 2% in 10 hours.

From my understanding, this is an Samsung driver/kernel problem (not really clear as to which one) and doesn't affect the Evo 3D. Also, I think this bug prevents the phone from sleeping, which isn't a problem in the Evo 3D.
I could be wrong. I'm tired and haven't read most of it.
That's one hungry bug. Interesting to read though. Thanks for the post, u haven't heard about this.

Just skimmed this via the xda app and not sure I agree with it all. I don't see this happening on my phone nor did I on the EVO 4G. I use system panel pro to purely monitor battery and app usage. Never use any task killer as they do more harm than good.
Just would of thought if this was a real issue it would of been pointed out before now.
I don't agree with using the stock OS battery usage though to guage it though as its not detailed enough.
I'll wait till xHausx or Net or another respected dev looks into this before really taking a side.
Just the bug they explain with CPU getting pegged seems like it would of been found by now if its real.
Least the fact my EVO 3D sleeps just fine. Prolly a Samsung issue. Yet another reason to not buy Samsung. Lol

Never ever had an issue like whats described in the thread, on my EVO4G. Though I wasn't around for the GB update to it so if it came after that OTA then I would of missed it.
The thing with going by the Android OS % use thats built into the OS by default is that sometimes some apps that get stuck will get tossed into that %, making it missleading. Hence why I use SystemPanel Pro and have monitoring on so I can track detailed use of everything and it breaks down the system use too so you can see what process of the system is running the most. I've seen times where Android OS is high but then check System Panel and its not at all abnormal and its really a App that has gotten stuck.
regardless I have yet to see anything close to this happening on the 3D which leads me to think its not really an "Android OS" problem in itself as much as its to do with the manufactures modifications to he OS and kernel more likely.
I will say though most of the time that I have experienced any battery drain it has been an app that is continuing to chew CPU even after backing completely out of it and not using it for 10-30min even. Seen it with the xda app sometimes and it seems completely random as sometimes when i back out of it, it closes the app fully and it no longer is eating away at CPU. Also seen it in my DBSTalk app too, both clean installs also.
---------- Post added at 07:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------
EDIT:
I might be taking back what I said about it not being in the EVO3D here. Just checked systempanel and looked at a weeks worth of time frame when looking at the "suspend" process and there is in fact 1 day where that process is higher than the rest and battery life is worse that day too.....
Will keep a closer eye on that process and see if I can catch this real time doing it myself.
still looking forward to Treve, xHausx, or any other respected Dev to chim in on this from an EVO3D perspective and get their thoughts on the thing as a whole too.

Perhaps, that's not funny though and rather rude. There was no need to use such a term, as there is plenty of other things you could have said.
All flaming aside, the guys are trying to say something. There is no real way for the ROM to be the cause of a continuous hardware problem such as that. "Getting Warmer" makes sense because of things the Kernel may be doing or RAM intensive background tasks , but a camera button creating an electric shock because of a ROM no. To prove this point (and what you could have done before making the thread specific about MeanROM) is flash a different ROM, and see the problem still persisting

If I take it to Sprint, would my insurance(TEP) cover it even though I rooted? Also, I understand that ROMs should not cause severe hardware issues but, as I'm still a newbie, it was something which I needed some suggestions. On a side note,I've been running the ROM for a few days now and the issue went away after I removed battery and has not come back. The ROM is great and the battery life is amazing, 4 hours of Netflix on 3G at 50-75% brightness for 90%. My battery then lasted another 5 hours on the last 10% with a few calls, texts, and data.
Thanks to all for the suggestions, will keep looking into it and continue reading.

no sprint will not support the phone if they see if its root. they will tell you to reload the stock software. the only way they would support it is if you drop it in water or something where the phone didn't turn on anymore. because at that point they don't know or would know if it was rooted.

I'm trying to use the light sensor in the EVO 3D as a condition in Locale to activate when my room is dark. Unfortunately, it seems that the lowest amount that the light sensor will report is 10lux in 10lux increments even when my room is nearly pitch black and I cover the sensor with my hand. According to the specs reported by Z-DeviceTest the sensor has a resolution of 1 lux. So I'm thinking that this might be a software issue. I'm currently on CyanogenMod 10 - GANGNAM STYLE with its stock kernel.
Is there anyway to increase the resolution of the sensor? I need to be able to detect when the ambient light is less than 1lux.
Thanks!
Does anyone know if this is a hardware level, driver level, or rom level setting?
My device doesnt go below 9 or 10 either. Actually the light sensor sucks. It only reports 3 or 4 values. Something like 9, 11, 140, and 160 i think. Kernel wont help u since its the crappy htc sensor.
I can't imagine that the sensor can't tell the difference between 10lux and 0-1lux. It must be a software issue of some kind. Maybe this is done to improve battery life be limiting the changes to values to those that will cause the screen brightness to change?
If there is a way to lower the minimum value retorted to 0-1 lux so that it either reports the values accurately or just rounds down it would really help reduce the likelihood of false positives with a Locale profile.
Does anyone anyone have any ideas on how this might be done?
