[REQUEST] Rom with optimized battery life.

So I have seen a few roms released in the last week, but I keep thinking to myself "When will there be a rom that's targeted to optimize battery?" If one of the awesome devs could come up with something that does just this that would be amazing.
TIA.

HOW?!?! I get a max of 12 to 13 on heavy usage.

If anyone does do this, I find that I get great battery life now after trying the CDMA/GSM fix (cant find the link).
Might wanna be something to look into for future ROMs. (From what I remember, the glitch shows the phone as looking for GSM networks while it's connected to a CDMA network. I followed the instructions to correct this and it's had a positive impact on my battery life. Getting near double the life now).

You guys are on 3G aren't you? I don't even get 2 hours on 4G with medium heavy usage.

Waiting to see if it makes a difference, though.

8-14 on moderate use to heavy is all you are going to be getting. I doubt you'll see a rom aimed only at battery life. Find a rom with sense removed (there are a few of them) or asop and further remove junk you don't use especially the social network **** and enjoy.

Are you referring to this thread?

You really don't even need an app from the market like the guy suggests in that thread. If you just dial *#*#INFO#*#*, then go to Phone Information, then scroll down to 'Set preferred network type' and select CDMA auto (prl) from the list.

what software is that use to show the CPU and Battery usage.
Thanks

Actually that CDMA/GSM fix, can it be applied through a rom? I'm pretty sure that's a built in phone setting where you have to dial through the keypad. Regardless, think of it this way. Processors and memory run off of voltage. The more it's in use the more power it will take. Now undervolting and underclocking the CPU is an obvious fix but also the memkiller settings. The more memory that is in use the more power is being taken up. This is why AOSP has better battery life than Sense under the same circumstances. With a more aggressive memkiller you can further increase battery life. I am going to build aggressive settings in my next release of my rom but for custom settings you can always get Autokill from the Market, assuming your phone is rooted of course.

I'm getting FANTASTIC battery life on the latest Fresh ROM.

Haven't tried setCPU, though it does look nicer.
And SystemPanel, which is excellent.

Has setcpu been updated with native evo support, or are people still rocking N1 settings?

You get OC Widget by searching "overclock widget" in the Market. However, I don't see the need for it since the EVO automatically scales the CPU clock, and we can't overclock.

I guess i should have tried spelling out overclock instead of OC (DUH).. lol, and i have heard that, and have no doubt that it is true, but some people are claiming it has given them some improvement in battery life... Maybe its just a placebo effect, but i am gonna run a few tests and see what i can come up with....
I read a post on another forum from a guy that sounded like he REALLY knew what he was talking about and said the same thing you did but with some pretty big words and tech talk to back it up. But hey.. its free, and i like trying new stuff... even if its so i can see it for myself that it doesnt do anything.

Am I the only one that realizes overclock widget and setcpu don't work on our phones? I have tried both on 3 different ROMs and checked through a adb shell the cpu usage while the phone was asleep and neither one works no matter what I set the programs to.

Awesome, I've officially made it >24 hours on a single charge! (Though I did plug it into my laptop for 3 minutes to transfer some stuff)
Started the monitor with a little less than 90%, and now I'm at 8%

Using the GPS for 15 minutes drained it the most, compared to other apps.

Post your speeds!

Well I figured since we are on the eve of the Thunderbolt I'd get this thread up and running. As the first LTE phone on Verizon please share with us the speeds you are getting, your location, and if possible a screen shot or picture.
Since I opened the thread I'll go first.

Very pleased with the results, guess Verizon doesn't want the same criticism as AT&T so they over compensated on the upload lmao. Ran the test 10 times, saw the upload as high as 38Mbps, and as low as 29Mbps. Download speeds varied from 7-15Mbps. not too shabby

holy ****!

6.31mbs download and 29.17 mbs upload speed. Near Philadelphia

I see that you have the charger plugged in. Is this because performing a single speed test drains the battery JK! I seriously want to know what real world battery life before I get this device.
Awesome speed BTW!

No idea on battery life quite yet. It was plugged in because it was just out of the box lol

Here's mine:
Location: Washington DC

Now THAT is 4g - props to Verizon for building a truly "next level" type of network.
I hope verizon ****s on At&t from a marketing perspective.

I have got 5-10 down and 30-55 up

4.4mbps down and 31mbps up Northern VA

http://media.ziptied.com/members/files/12/speedtest.jpg
northern VA

1800 on Quadrant. Not that it means anything but coming from the Incredible it is definately faster.

here is mine, VZW is effin fast...
EDIT, re-posted pic, got even better...

Part of me is weary that once everyone starts to get LTE service on Verizon, it's going to bog down and not be nearly as amazing as it is currently. I definitely can't see how they intend to keep their upload rate at 20+ mbps lol

15-20Mbps down in Troy, Michigan.

I just clocked 15 down and 28 up in North Atlanta. Needless to say I havent gotten much of anything done at work.

Those are some big time #'s. I'm currently getting on average during peak hours 4.8 to 6.2 mb on the DL and a very steady 1.4 mb on UL with my Nexus One on T-Mobile. How much faster can you DL a web page? Does the phone react to those big DL #'s, can you tell the difference in speeds by watching the web pages DL on your phone???? Those are very impressive speeds, Is it worth changing carriers and phones for the increased speeds? Are the increased speeds going to give a better user experience?

A lot of these questions can't be answered right now. Wait until there is actually a decent amount of load on the 4G network. Give it a month or 2, then these speed tests won't be so astronomical anymore, and we can get a sense of how 4g REALLY is. (I hope the network really is that good and we can get something like 10d/4u on heavy traffic)

I think AT&T is on to us...

I don't know if this is just a local issue but it looks like the upload data speeds are getting throttled.
So here are some speed samples using CM7 (latest stable)

Speeds are still fine here. Probably just an issue in your area. The Tulsa market is always varying widely between 1Mb/s and 6 Mb/s. Fastest speeds are usually after midnight when traffic volumes are lower.

i just ran a test in the bronx and i got 2.84 down and .19 up. i had a similar issue yesterday but i thought it was teh network.
why would they do this now though, wehn they just releaesd an update to enable hsupa on stock roms...?

Yeah the download is fine... it's the upload that seems to be throttled (or very inconstant).

Nothing has changed. And I know for a fact that they are installing a **** ton of circuits daily to help the backhaul issue. There are too many variables to even guess why your speedtests app is giving you low numbers. I will say that they are doing lots of work so maybe its related ?

This is most likely.

I'm on CM7 7.0.3 and hit 2.8Mbps down and 1.2Mbps up.

I find the speedtest results to vary widely from test to test. Not sure if that's the network, the application, the weather, solar flares or cows jumping over the moon, but I wouldn't draw any conclusions without a long-term test. Just over a week ago I made a post asking about losy signal - turns out AT&T was upgrading the cell sites. Now I'm getting over 5MB down and 1.5 up. So be careful you don't go on a wild goose chase.

I was all set to flash another radio, because my signal was jumping around real bad.
Last couple of days, though, its stabilized.
Now watch, as soon as I post this, it'll start bouncing around again.
Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium

I wonder about the phone itself. I notice that My bars are constantly going up and down and I am not even moving. I also notice WIFI signal strength jumps around the same way. /Shrug...

I know chasing speed test can be a wild goose chase... I have satellite internet at home and dealing with speed issues is normal part of the day.
With that said I've noticed lately the my generally good upload speeds have seem to be restricted. Is it coincidence the slowdown is at a time when AT&T is rolling out updates to users... maybe who knows.

1. Tests vary. Fact of life.
2. It's AT&T... don't expect much and you won't be surprised.

Speeds wildly vary from place to place. Just moving a feet feet even makes a huge difference. This is why AT&T is trying to buy T-Mobile...to have the needed bandwidth to stabilize their data network.

About to purchase

Hey all, I am about to purchase this device for my wife (I have the G2X, a working one miracously) and was wondering if HBO Go and Netflix work on the latest 2.3.4 version. I am leaning towards the Sensation for her because she takes a lot of pics and records videos. It is my understanding that the picture and video quality are amazing. Can this be confirmed. Also, any pitfalls I should be made aware of would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Wait till October and get the Hercules. I'm pretty disappointed overall with this device. Sadly....
Issues.
Reception poor (coming from mytouch4g)
Battery ridiculous poor
But it's not all bad. I mean I'm sure in the future custom roms/kernels will get this device to reach its true potential

Thanks. I felt the same about the G2X, but the devs have really unlocked the potential of that phone. I would imagine the battery is going to be pretty bad with the Hercules as well (G2X isn't awesome). I was under the impression that the software update fixed the reception issue.

@raycaster:
My experience has been the exact opposite of yours. I came to the Sensation from a MT4G and found the battery life and reception to be very similar. In fact, my Sensation's battery lasts longer than the MT4G's. Sorry to hear that your experience hasn't been great.
With regards to Hercules....after an extremely negative experience with the Vibrant, I have trouble trusting Samsung smartphones. Who knows, the Hercules may be the greatest thing since sliced bread when it comes out, but I wouldn't recommend Samsung.

Samsung sucks, my experience with their Craptivate and it's broken GPS, ****ty battery life, Don't get me started on touchwiz and the lag, rfs is the worst file system, I never ran it stock.
I love my Sensation, it's battery is outstanding, I get over a day with medium to heavy usage. I haven't flashed any roms yet because they all have bugs because of the early development. Stock runs great. All I plan to do is flash a deodexed stock Rom so I can then flash some themes until some custom roms are further developed.

Agreed, i think you got a bad device or maybe need to tweak a few setting to get the real potential from ur battery. also try getting your sim swapped. could be why ur having service issues.

Brand new sim and I compare it to myt4g with the same sim in and on the same wifi I consistently get 5 mbps faster with myt4g. I have since read in the kernel threads (I test beta kernels for myt4g and sensation) and it has just been discovered that not one single custom kernel has been efficiently handling both processors and apps such as setcpu are not functioning properly with this device. Long story short went back to stock kernel and battery is better. BTW what amt of screen on was that 20 hrs? I'm guessing nothing like i would have.
I have about 2.5-3 hrs screen on with about 90 min of music and still get 14 hrs out of myt4g of course I have demonspeed_MOD MIUI, on that device. Sensation 6-8 tops. That's why its sad that myt4g out performs this device (right now) I also understand the nature of development. We're still early. I was REALLY frustrated and it was evident in my post. I just expected more from a $500 device. Guess my standards are too high.
I'm not gonna get rid of it though. Too much potential. Sorry for the negativity in my previous post.
If you're not paying full price for it its worth the shot fornthe potential.

Throttled Data Speeds with 2.3.4

I've been messing with 2.3.4 and the latest radios and in places where I get 40+mbps I've been pulling 10mbps max. I have a feeling each radio update fixes connectivity but messes up the data performance.
Just reverted back to rooted OTA froyo 2.2.1 with 627r radio and the speeds are back to normal.
Anyone else seeing the same issue with the new OTA?

I can confim the reduced data speeds. My phone updated by itself.
I used to get steady 20mbps, now I'm pressed to pass 9mbps.
I will say though, the upload has improved.

I've ran over 6,000 tests over the last six months and this is 100% noticeable to me. Now back to froyo and stock radios gives me exactly what I've been getting before. Not sure if I could keep stock froyo radios and one of the gingerbread ROMs..

I don't mean to piss in your corn flakes, but I'm NOT seeing this. Not that speed tests even report remotely accurate numbers. Most of the time my downloads are WAY to fast to be supported by the numbers I get back on many of them. I have no issues getting 35 to 42 Mbit out to New York.

Allow me to explain.
Buffers in the Froyo kernel were outrageous and misleading. They caused tests to be misleading, and basically false.
The Gingerbread kernel has more reasonable buffer levels. Hence what you see is more accurate.
I can make a kernel mod that will change the buffers to see that you are getting 100 down, and 50 up. Doesn't make it true.

Actually I happened to have a Pantech UML290 AirCard and when swapping SIM from Thunderbolt, I'm getting the same exact speeds as what I see on my bolt. So at the locations where I'm seeing 50-60mbps I get them on both my computer AND my Bolt using Froyo and stock radio.
Yesterday, same location, 53mbps on my computer, 9mbps on Gingerbread Bolt.
Not cool.

I get all that except the fact that downloading using pantech I get 6.4MBytes/sec vs gingerbread radios where I get 2 max usb tethered to my pc. It used to be around 6MB/sec as well.
Look I'm not trying to downplay anything here, I'm glad that people are happy with gingerbread, I'm just reporting my own findings and sharing my recorded data with you. I would love to have both, but the major reason I bought bolt is the network performance...
