Solved my poor battery life problem!

I don't know if this is common knowledge or not but over the past few weeks I have had HORRIBLE battery life using the Das BAMF 1.6.2 ROM and I thought it was the ROM or the Kernel.
I realized around the same time that my battery life went to crap that I had also flashed to the new leaked radio.
Tonight I flashed back to the stock radio that comes with the phone - and VOILA! Battery life is amazing again - overclocked to 1.5 ghz and using smartass governor.
So if you haven't tried this give it a shot.

tried that that hasnt worked for me. im getting about 7 hrs of use on either 3g or 4g with extended battery. tried all different kernels. same battery on stock and cm7. dont know what else to do

wrong section...
and not true.
Das Bamf 1.6.2 i was getting 2 days ish with the leaked radio.

LOL of course it's true. What do you think I am doing, lying?
Is it going to hold true for everyone? Who knows.

Amazing battery life? What do you consider amazing? I can go about 10 hours with some pandora use and a bit of texting.

New leaked radio is required for GB ROMS :-(

Yeah with the extended battery and froyo based das bamf I was getting over 30 hours while on 4g the whole time. Using the battery sipper kernel. That was the best. On das bamf latest gingerbread now. Definitely less battery life. Also I toggled to 3g only and now no matter what I can't get 4g back. It's the first issue I've had with the 4g since I got the phone. Strange.

I had the same problem in a way.. juice defender must not work as well with GB as froyo, but it disabled my 4G and wouldn't give me data back.. reboots didn't work I was stuck on 3G.. so what I did was toss the phone in LTE mode and 4G popped up.. might wanna try it

Yes, it's true for YOU. But what's true for you is not for everyone else.
This phone is in alpha stages. We are all beta testing this phone for HTC and Verizon.
I have great days and horrid days. This morning? 10% battery per hour with the screen off. Battery pull. I have an extended battery.
Lets all keep testing this phone and perhaps we will all have a great phone in the end.

I fixed mine too. I bought the extended battery.
Just joking.

its VERY possible, because of the extended battery.
i have das bamf 1.6.3 with leaked radio and the stock bamf kernel and the extended battery. juice defender and i also use super manager pro to kill tasks when i unsleep the phone. i also turned off 'Enable always-on mobile data' (settings -> wireless and networks -> mobile networks), turned off auto-sync under accounts and sync, changed all my accounts to manual sync, and turned my brightness down. I get great battery life but i dont think i could ever go back to the stock battery (even though i want to so badly because this thing is FREAKIN HUGE).
hope that helps some people

Cool. Thanks for the tips.

lol true! haha...

also... SetCPU is $1.00 from the app store and you can set a profile to underclock your processor when you sleep/lock the phone which would definitely save some battery life as well, haven't got around to that yet but still working on it.

Gingerbread

I would like to go back to ginger bread has anyone who hasn't switched bricked recently?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

When I first read about the bricks I switched back to froyo, I stayed on it for less than 72 hours before I switched back to gb. So far my experience has been great not a single random reboot and everything works as it should. I'm more hesitant of messing with system files as I normally would be but I think I can hold off tweeking if the trade off is a complete gb sense experience.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

I don't see any problem with switching back, since the intiial bricks (3-5 people?), I haven't heard of anyone else bricking.
Just be sure to wear your tinfoil hat when flashing.

I don't think there have been many (or any) bricks since the announcement

I'm running CM7 gingerbread just to be safe. Ill switch back when the dev who originally posted the warning says we are good to go back.

Yes. Call volume is a tad bit low (not a problem for me but may be for some people who are hard of hearing, or work/live in a noisy area). Absolutely no problems with 3G and 4G works by just switching from 4G to 3G, getting a strong signal, then switching back.

It works plenty well enough to use daily. The battery life wasn't great for me. since being on Das Bamf 2.0-5 I've really started to like the new Sense bits so I couldn't go back to CM7. Plus the battery seems to last forever on 2.0-5. If my phone takes a dump I guess I'll at least be able contribute a broken phone to the crew trying to figure out the problem.

From what I've read, you'd lose 4G, which is a deal-breaker for me.
I'm waiting for the next leak of Gingerbread before going back.

You don't lose 4G. I have had a constant 4G connection for almost 42 hours. The only time you may "Lose" it is when rebooting but all you have to do is switch to 3G and back.

I'm not sure where you've read it doesn't work. I've used CM7 in a 4g area and it worked fine. Some may have had problems with 4g not working or hand offs between 4g-3g but for the most part it works.

Yep 4g working fine with 223 radio for me with CM7.

CM7 is fine. 4G handoffs are fine, everything works fine so far. Haven't found any issues yet. Only small annoyance is after I get off a phone call, the screen wont respond to anything unless I lock the phone and unlock it again. But that only seems to happen if the other person hangs up first.

For me it takes under 5 seconds. I don't know how others are faring but it really doesn't matter where I try to get a lock it comes up almost instantly.

Phone shutting off during the night.

So, I've got this annoying issue where my phone decides to randomly shut off in the middle of the night while charging. Well, of course it turns back on, but to the battery charging screen. The problem is, I need my alarm, and for two days now I've woken up late due to this. I'm on stock Froyo, UCKH1. Rooted and CMWed. Does anyone know what could be causing it?

My thought on this is that the phone could be crashing from something. Check what apps you have running. Have you ever noticed your phone reset during the day.

Back to stock recovery and unroot. If it still does it, bad phone. If not.....

It's not a bad phone. It's something software related clearly, but I've done stock recovery. I feel the next update will fix a lot of things, including issues not everyone has, so I'll just wait it out and get a real alarm.
EDIT: One of the biggest issues I've seen with this phone is that the Froyo it shipped with was kind of half-assed. I mean, it functions, yeah, it works, but does it work like it should? Not really. The Froyo on this phone is buggier than a picnic taken over by ants.

[Q] Service drops

Hey guys,
I'm running InfinityROM on my Charge. Throughout the day, I'll look at my phone and see that there is no mobile data (4g) coming to my phone, theres no bar to judge what is coming in or anything. If I turn mobile data on and off sometimes it will come back after 4-5 minutes, otherwise a restart brings it back. But it gets really annoying trying to get on the internet for a quick answer and it turns out to be a 10 minute procedure to get what I needed. What's going [email protected][email protected]?

For some reason maybe the Sim went bad.

I've been having that problem too. Seems that its been getting better through.

I feel like it may be infinity rom, once I installed it the service drops began, I lost root access, phone has just been overall freaking out. Should I just reroot from scratch? Or just do another rom?

You should try tweakstock rom, it's the best, very stable, not service or lte drops. Infinity has quite a bit of weird issues. I have tried infinity, eclipse and tweakstock, I found tweakstock is the best since it's very close to stock rom.

For now, i would agree with the suggestions of Tweakstock. Until Eclipse is fully finished (with Eclipse Parts) it is the best.

Service drops are not typically associated with any particular rom really. It may be a network issue in your area, a sim card problem, etc. - but it's extremely doubtful that what rom you are running would influence this. I suppose I can only speak of tweakstock, but I've done nothing to it that in any way changes service/connection functions compared to plain-old stock.

Yes, the previous post is 100% correct. This service drops has something to do with your radio and hardware. I would Odin back to stock with PIT file, then try and see if you still have the issue. I had this issue in the beginning and I was a noob then, I called Verizon, they first send me a new SIM card, that's not working and finally they send me another phone, still same issue. then GB 2.3.6 leaks arrived and I flash this before the OTA....and yes it fixed my call drops issue. And that is the last thing I heard of calls drop for my Charge. Yours maybe different but in order to pinpoint the issue go all the way back to original stock and if the issue persist then call Verizon for another phone.

Just a general statement,but if I knew my data was going to be this bad i would of just stayed on 1.7x, because its not even dropping still says im connnected just no data, comes and goes, more goes the comes...tried the APN trick nothing, still same old problems!

data has been i think, a little better on 1.88...will report back i had to set up the apn cause it is based off the Asia rom i believe.. but so far decent, Im at work so i can't test much

1.73 gave me one data drop. I get 3 or more daily on 1.85. Perhaps that's why it's a leak and not official. Did the dual apn trick this morning. Haven't lost data yet, fingers crossed. I have seen a good amount of posts saying 1.88 is better in this regard.
