When is Sprint changing terms again? Have they recently?

Because...
I want to drop them and sell my Evo.
I can't deal with the battery life on this phone anymore, no matter which ROM I use, and how much I tweak SetCPU and/or JuiceDefender...
It's a great phone, but I am going to settle for a little less but allow my phone to last more than 1.5 days (at best, with minimal usage)
If somebody could let me know I would appreciate it dearly..thank you
Mike

I have no idea when they will change their TOS again but I'll gladly give you $100 for your evo..

Who could possibly know if/when Sprint would change their TOS?
Battery life is great on the Evo. I charge my phone every 35 hours or so.

Battery life isn't great on the Evo, don't be that guy.
But, any modern smartphone isn't going to last 1.5 days with heavy usage, except maybe a blackberry.
If your only complaint is battery life, sell your evo and buy a bold or something.

Battery life is the same across all smart phones, not sprint and their last change was earlier this year, you won't c one anytime soon. Get a bb

35 hours??
You do know your EVO has internet capabilities.. right? (you must not be using them if you're getting 35 hours! )
But yeah, I use the crap out of my phone and I average 20 - 24 hours..

I have never heard someone complain about a smart phone only lasting a day and a half. You seriously can't charge while you sleep?
I mean get any phone you want, I could care less, but man, you are strange.

Who's flaming you? Looks like everyone is being pretty civilized so far.. man if you think this is flaming you should look up the "WTF WIFI?!?!" thread, or the "is CM6 overrated?" thread, although I think the second one got deleted already.

It's not final, it's 'stable'
There would be a very disappointed community if CM became 'final'

Fresh 3.2.0 with the standard kernel.
This was with some general facebook, browsing, texting, talking etc. I would say moderate to heavy use. 7 hours of use out of a single charge is pretty damn stellar I would say.

Actually, it is final..
It's CM6.0.0 final. The next release will be (presumably) 6.0.1

ok, that's impressive.. 29 on, 7 awake.. nice
I'm still curious if you realize your phone connects to the internet though.. (and I hope you have a sense of humor)

I'm not aware of any modern smart phone with a fast processor, touch screen, multiple wireless radios, etc. that can last through a day of heavy use. Not iPhone, Evo, Galaxy, etc. Like any mobile device, you learn to manage power. When I am out and about on my laptop and not using wifi, I turn it off. I lower the screen brightness, etc. When I need to use it, I turn it on. Leaving everything and anything turned on is like leaving all the lights on in your house while staying in a single room at a time--wasteful of power.
I keep a charger by my bedside and one at my desk. I charge my phone overnight and with regular use (checking emails and texts as they come in, maybe some light web browsing on the can, etc) I am usually around 40-50% when I get home after work. If I am using it a lot or end up someplace with poor reception like a basement or a control room that is surrounded by ducts and wiring, I will either turn off data or use the charger at my desk to top off at some point during the day.
I have yet to have any problems with this since it's a workflow that evolved from my personal uses and needs. Yours may be different. Maybe you drive a lot and use GPS or music streaming. If so, get a car charger. If you are away from all outlets and not in a car for large parts of the day, maybe grab a spare battery off ebay. At least you have the option. Some smart phones don't even let you swap the battery in emergencies if you want to. I've found Evo pretty much on par with other phones with similar hardware. Just turn off radios not in use and keep chargers or MicroUSB cables in convenient places like nightstand, desk, car.

7 hours out of a single charge sucks, my iphone 3G got 1-2 days on average with heavy usage, but I didn't want to be an Apple fanboy anymore, so I went HTC, and HTC batteries SUCKKKKKK
Anyways, I hope Sprint changes terms soon so I can PEACE OUT

The extra battery is something I have not yet done, but I do have my charger with me and one in the car....just feels like it stinks having a phone that has died much faster than any of the rest

Best battery life ROM

Hi all,
I absolutely need a ROM to survive about 16 hours, whit medium level of usage: 2 or 3 short calls, 3g always on, intensive gmail usage, Twitter and browser often open... and maybe some light game during a flight...
Witch ROM do you suggest?
Can I survive?
Thanks!

Sounds like what you need is an extended/extra battery.

I avg ~16-18 hours per day with usage similar to yours BUT the places I spend the most time (work and home) I'm connected to WIFI. When you say 3G always on, you mean you'll never be on wifi or just never changing the setting to use 2G? I NEVER turn my 3G off. I'm using Cyanogenmod7 BTW (nightly #21). Nightly build #13 had the best battery life of all the Roms I've run so far....

I can't use WiFi... maybe I could switch to 2g only, when I don't really need 3g... cm7 was horrible about battery live starting from the 2.3.3 version, but I haven't tried last nightly build...
also MIUI seems to be good, what do you think?
Sent from my N1 using XDA App

for me, the best in this...... SuperAOSP...

i never get more than 6-8 hours of battery, dunno how some of you are claiming 16 hours. maybe on standby

Hit 50% right at the 12 hour mark. I routinely get 16 hours. I check fb, twitter, send texts, browse forums and talk. Hopping on wifi def helps. I never get any less than 12 hours, even with CONSTANT use

When you don't you the phone, Use a widget to turn off data connection. Also GPS. Buy an extended battery that is the same size of the n1. Cm7 seems to be pretty good for me right now. Rc2 version not night lies.

Give MIUI a chance. Either from RoDrIgUeZsTyLe or the vanilla miui here: http://miui-dev.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?15-Google-Nexus-One
Personally, battery is not the only reason I've stuck with miui for a couple of months now. Overall I find it very stable and other features like the nice notification bar etc. keep me from moving to other roms. The only thing I hate about miui is the whole iphone like default launcher but that is easily fixed by using launcherpro or adw

I can easily get 16 hours out of MIUI. Usually at the end of day I have around 25% to 35% left. I am running version 1.3.11 at this time. Soon to be upgrading to 1.3.18 as soon as the language pack comes out!

Meh, ok on the stock, rooted 2.3.3 ROM and im getting amazing speeds.
I think it would be easier to spend 20 bucks to get an extra battery than to flash a whole new rom though.

I got an extra battery from HTC because my other one didn't seem to last very long. They sent it to me for free since the phone was still under warranty. Changing batteries isn't such a big deal, but managing to charge the two of them is kind of a balancing act. Charge one at night, then swap them in the morning and charge the other one in the morning. use it during the day swap in the evening and start over again. lol. Personally I'd rather find a ROM and excellent use of SetCPU and power manager to get the most battery life out of one battery.

I'm now using nightly builds of cm7 with redstars latest kernel and I finally have a good combo, good battery life and no problems, though I haven't tried without dewonkficator.

I'm testing MIUI right now and it seems very well: today i had medium/low usage and I'm on 14 hours and still 26% left. Tomorrow I'll test more intensive but it seems that Miui is the best choice!

On that day, I was at 2 hr & 17 mins of 'active' display at the time. I avg about 2 1/2 hours of "screen on" time each day.

I too will say I get a constant 12hours to 50% mark on a regular day. MIUI and CM7 latest.
Although, I saw Wildmonk came back to the scene and am testing his latest cm7 kernel mod on #25, and my goodness. Yesterday seemed average. But today, Going 9 hours unplugged and only went down 20%. Hoping this isn't a fluke. Will need another day or 2 to truly tell.
If anyone else is wondering, try wildmonk. I'd like to know what other's find.
( control your background syncs! They are battery hungry by default sometimes)

I just hit 15 hours use with 4 hours and 35 minutes display-on time. But 8 hours of that was me sleeping. And this all was on WiFi which makes an enormous difference.
Typically I get 2.5 hours of display time a day.
Running cyan 6.1.

I used to have a 16 - 20 hours per day using MM CM7 ROM (with WildMonks Kernel),
But sadly there is one problem with the ROM (Facebook update) and MM left us for another phone
Right now, I'm gonna try SuperAOSP and PureGoogleMod to test the battery life

Here's my batt info
I've been messing around with fitsnugly's CM7 build and different kernels. I took this one just some hours ago using latest redstar OC 1152 kernel; I never run it that high on normal usage, though. More than 24h's of battery . It's pretty good, ~ 1% or less drain in idle and overall good when watching videos, etc. I just created this account to share the info, I mostly just read and browse (I can't post links yet ), so the img address is imgur.com/nTfqz

Is anybody else using the LEAKED GINGERBREAD ROM on their EVO? Thoughts? Opinions???

I've been using it for 2 days and so far I have nothing but good things to say about it. The battery life so far has been top notch. My phone has currently been off the charger for 15 hours and 2 minutes, and I still have 41% battery left. It's very responsive. Everything works on my HW003 Evo. The one problem I have discovered so far is that when I record a video, once I'm done it force closes the video app. But the good thing is that the recorded video is saved intact and I can re-open my camcorder app immediately if I want to record another video. So it's really not a big issue. Other than that everything else sems to be working very smoothly. I have Go Launcher EX running on top of it and everything is super-fast. So far I'm really loving this leaked ROM. What about you guys(and girls)???

Well, I took it off the charger just after midnight last night, and I woke up at 7am. So 7 of those hours it was resting. But since then I've been to the gym and listened to music the whole time, sent a few texts, received about 30-40 texts from twitter, browsed the web for some of the links, viewed some android central youtube videos, updated some apps in the Market, made 2 phone calls, etc.. The point is with my last ROM and kernel, normally I'd be at about 15% battery by now.. There seems to be a noticeable improvement. But I posted this thread because I'm wondering if it's my imagination or if anyone else is having similar experiences.

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.

Where's a link for it? I wanna try this out and put in my .02!

Fyi my g1 only lasted 4-6 hours on a charge using stock battery, I turned off the radio and let it sit in my sock drawer it stayed on in stand by for nearly a week on that same battery.
These threads bragging about battery life are just BS, im sure if I want all day not using my evo I'd also get 16+ hours on a stock. I typically get a good 14-16 hours using my 3000 mAh battery and being constantly on my phone.
I noticed a lump in my battery last night (SBC maybe?) And now im back on the stock battery, this is my 3rd time today its back on the charger, my point? None but these threads don't mean a thing unless there's any really useful information to significantly extend the battery, especially to us users who do use our phones and not just let them sit idol all day.

Last I checked there's a few in the development forum, but they are ports and a work in progress and have a lot of things broken. As son as there is a stable gingersense im all over that.

I loaded the leaked 2.3.3/sense 1.0 that tmartin put together. It is 100% functional for me. Some people were having issues with the screen staying at 100% brightness, and the camera acting strange. I think that may have been a variety of factors, wipe quality, hardware number, and screen type.
The rom was flawless for me. I have a 3500 battery and used my phone like a crackhead for 15.5 hours before the battery died. I was web surfing most of the time, and reading the leak thread that hit over a 1000 posts in a day before the op locked it up.
I am now using the misfit gingersense rom, and it is working 100% for me, apart from some very minor black on black text when word suggestions pop up using swype.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036930
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035438

I flashed the tmartin 2.3.3 sense leak as well. I liked it for the most part...but it wasn't anything really special...some menu changes and it did have the nice fast boot feature. Sense was still a little sluggish when scrolling through home screens. I flashed back to cm7....what I do miss is the stable 4g that I do not get with cm7 final.

Wtf are you talking about!?
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.

This post was not just about battery life. That was just one aspect of it. I posted it to get feedback from others who are also running the ROM put together by TMartin from the leak. I still don't get why people get so funny acting when it comes to others talking about how long their battery lasts. If you don't like it or don't care to hear about it then move on, as it may not be for you. But others may be interested to see if it improves their battery life. Remember, every post here isn't catered just for you. The world is bigger than just you. Anyway, I use my phone quite regularly, whether it be browsing the web, viewing video, texting, listening to music, etc.
I also forgot to mention that I'm using the stock battery.
For those who asked where they can find the download, here ya go. It's linked in the first post:

Dude, your battery might have cancer. You should do a battery self-exam at least once every month. It's best that you do it in the shower so that the battery can hang low. Make sure you roll your battery through your fingers to check for any abnormal growth or lump.
If you feel a lump or that the shape of your battery has changed at all, don't hesitate to see your doctor. Remember, catching battery cancer in the earliest stages gives you a much better chance at survival!

I layed on a flat surface and noticed it rocked a little bit, so yea it has a slight deformity. Dr. Abu ghraib can have a look at it tomorrow.

I flashed it and been running it for a few hours now. Its alright, nothing ground breaking or impressive. Im kinda disappointed about no vertical battery or the on/tv off effect like the asop roms have. I thought I was gonna see that in gingersense. No big deal though, its same ol sense on gingerbread. I did notice some improvements in the browser. Fair enough, its cool, but still a little buggy.
Screen dimming works for me BTW, on my 0003.
Tomorrow will be the real test as far as the battery goes.

What bugs have you noticed?

I Finally Did It! (24 Hour Battery)

I have been desperately trying for SEVERAL months to find a way to get my Samsung Epic to last ONE DAY. Many of you might say thats EASY but not for me. You see I am a POWER USER. Not one of those send a few text message, listen to some music, play a game or 2 users. I actually TALK on my phone a LOT.
I purchased a Yoobao 2800 MAH battery a couple months ago, thinking it would solve my problems and to my dismay I could ONLY get about 5-6 hours with the way I use my phone. So I began searching for apps and configurations that would help me achieve my 24 Hour goal and yesterday I finally found a configuration that works.....
My Results
Battery Life 25 Hours which included 4 HOURS OF ACTUAL TALK TIME W/ BLUETOOTH USAGE
Including 3 email accounts (2 Yahoo set to 1 hour check and 1 Corporate "PUSH" email)
A WHOLE GANG Of TEXT AND PICTURE MESSAGES...LOL
What I Have
Samsung Epic w/Yoobao 2800 MAH Battery
Running Stock Rooted EG22 (Leak) and Generation X "Green" theme.
What I used
Set CPU:
Set up profiles for maximum battery save when screen was OFF and when battery went below 30 percent
Juice defender (Free Version)
Tweaked for maximum efficiency using advanced settings
What I did
Themed everything as dark as possible (Go SMS Pro, Go Dialer, Go Contacts)
No Live wallpaper (Ovious...lol)
My Findings:
Contrary to popular belief....Tasks running in the background IS NOT the biggest source of battery drain. HAVING YOUR SCREEN ON IS! I was having NO success with any of the top task killers so I STOPPED USING THEM ALTOGETHER. All they seem to do is run constantly in the background (Even when the screen is off) killing apps that will RESTART themselves anyway after a few seconds. Juice defender works in a different way. By cutting off the data connection when the screen goes dark. That means any time Ii was on a call and the screen was dark, my data was cut off. (I dont usually need it when I am on the phone anyway) During this entire process I had a rather light wallpaper on my phone. so Im sure I could probably have saved a lil more battery if I wanted to.
Hopefully this will help some people get more battery life out of their epics. After all, whats the point in having a great phone if you can only use it (the way it was INTENDED) for a few hours.
Good Day To All!

lolz
im runnin ec05, srf1.2 rom, bright red & black theme(transmattered reds made by me) pulldown animation, stock battery, no memory mods, live wallpaper(my theme is mostly transparent so the live wallpaper is playing almost all the time), play pandora average of 4-5hrs a day, constantly checking fb xda email market(i have 120ish apps lol), & i get about 13hrs a charge...
you should try those changes on srf1.2 rom if you already havent... some people running similar setups have reported 2 full days or more...
but instead of set cpu you should try voltage control

Pretty sure when you get a phone call it shuts off 3G anyways. Atleast whenever My phone rings my 3G symbol vanishes completely.
Congrats on the 25hours though

I dont think thats true... I've been on a call using speakerphone and 4g data at the same time... I think 4g data still works if you are on a call
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

The key to good battery life is making sure your phone is sleeping properly when not in use. If CPU Spy shows 100Mhz much higher than deep sleep, then you got something that is keeping your phone from sleeping. I had a problem with some HP printer monitor on one of my computers pinging my phone constantly on my wifi network that would kill my battery if I let it sit with wifi on at home.

The key to good battery life is making sure your phone is sleeping properly when not in use. If CPU Spy shows 100Mhz much higher than deep sleep, then you got something that is keeping your phone from sleeping. I had a problem with some HP printer monitor on one of my computers pinging my phone constantly on my wifi network that would kill my battery if I let it sit with wifi on at home.

The only way to do that with an ANDROID device is to power it off completely...LOL

In the bottom right corner up there 1day 8 hours at 39%. I run srf, genocide, juwe ram tweaks, and set cpu with profiles to run the frequency lower as the day goes on.
Edit: I see now that that is a very ****ty picture. Man I just can't get screenshots right at all..
Cd's or tapes?

Talking on the phone and the 3g network use the same antenna, so you can only do one or the other. 4g and wifi use a different antenna so they will still work for data while on the phone.

Its not the antenna its the chipset. Bluetooth and wifi share the same antenna but both can be used at the same time.

After I flashed the EG22 Modem and Leak I had a 25 hr battery, but now I get about 10 hrs. Weird.

I have juice defender but I never use it.

I saw roughly the same thing. Incredible battery life for the first day or two, then it would refuse to charge either of two batteries past 60%.

IS THAT WITH A STOCK BATTERY?!?
Thats unbelievable....

Until the newest RandomRom 2.3 Hawk I had the same problem trying to get my phone to last 24 hours. Now I have the RandomRom 2.3 Hawk installed with bloatware Removed, voodoo sound V9 module loaded, busy box pro and golauncher ex with over 100 apps also. 27 hours and I still have 14% battery life and that has been after using 4g for about 3 hours, flashlight for about 1 hour(teslaLED), played games for about 2 hours combined, sent about 40 emails, texted all day(about 150 texts), browsed the web for about 1 hour, watch some youtube videos for about 30 minutes and used navigation for about 30 minutes(coPilot). That is also with weather bug auto updating every hour and gmail sync'd to do its thing automatically. I am happier than I could ever describe now...I think I will finally leave my phone alone for a while now and stop flashing a million roms since I feel I have the best made for 2.3.4 now.

battery
I get about 18 to 20 hours of normal everyday use out of EG22 but i stay on wifi. on ec05 the most i could get is 6 hours, bottom line no matter what i tried. and thats with a stock battery.

I am getting incredible battery life!

I have to say that after some experimintation I am getting consistantly incredible batter life. For instance, I took off charger at 6:00 am at 100% fully charged this am. It is now 6:00 PM (12 hrs) constant MS Exchange updating, internet browsing, and about 2.5 hrs on phone calls, I now have 81%.
Some facts:
I am on stock KG5
the following definatly made the batter life wose:
Beautiful Widgets
Widget Locker Lockscreen
I have NO battery monitor programs like Juice Defender. In fact I have purchased Juice Defender Ultimate and I saw a slight decrease in perforance.
I have to following apps installed:
Sirius XM Premium online
App2SD Pro
Google Maps update
MLB At Bat 2011
Scanner Radio Pro
You Tube update
OI File Manager
Only downfalls of KG 5 is no video with the Google talk and Flash crashes with the browser. Tried KH1 and KH3, not ready for prime time.
Thoughts and comments welcome.

and?
so if you already have incredible battery life (by your definition and standards), what's the point of this thread?

so funny

At least post battery usage graph.

Come on guys, He was just trying to help!
Well, I've shifted to KH3 which gives me 3.5 days battery time. Haha!
Try KH3.

I think the problem is not the battery mate. You have the same problem than me. Talking two hours and a half by phone every day is nasty, I am sure you have about 80 mails every day like me. This is the real problem to solve, we have to work less so the battery will last more , and kick someone asses who are always calling us and giving problems

100 battery threads but i didnt yet find a clear answer if 2.3.4 improves battery life or not..i wait for the official release so i didnt use any 2.3.4 rom yet...

i too have awesome battery life! my phone was unplugged 13hrs 17m 15s ago and now has 88% remaining..... stock bvkg3 orange rom...

I'm tired of these threads. It's not like samsung sold some phones with good battery life and some without. They are ALL the EXACT SAME.
You can't have a 'better' battery life than another SGS2 user. You can't have a 'worse' battery life either. What matters is usage.
Anyone can get 'incredible' battery life - simply install any ROM such as cog or vr, and do a full wipe. Install only 10 apps, and use the phone sporadically, dare I say, use the phone 'as a phone'.
What I'm trying to say is that the people reporting 52 hours of battery life or what not simply do not use the phone as much as others do. If it sounds logical, that's because it is.
There is no 'magic pill'. I get 54h on standby because despite having 205 apps, I used betterbatterystats to uninstall the worst offenders. But today for example I got 6h out of my battery because I spent 3h hours with the screen on, 1 hour on GPS navigation in my car, 1 hours taking pictures with the flash on, 1 hour playing angry birds. 205 apps, endless memory resident programs, custom-everything, even my wallpaper is 3d with 16x MSAA through CF3d, what did I expect?
The whole Iphone comparison is also whack. I own an iphone 4. Sure when stock the thing flies and stays on battery like you wouldn't believe. But try to customize it and you'll find the same problems that you find on android. Plus, it's twice as heavy as my sgs2

I prefer using my sgs2 as a laptop, the battery life is still better than my acer.

I call bs. But while Im at it i get over 100 hours on my battery. On standby. Omg. I can't believe how long my phone lasts when I don't use it.
Or.
I used my phone 15 hours today. 5 hours screen time. Heavy wifi and cell data. .and snes emulator 2 hours. And I still had 30%. Omfg incredible. I can't believe it not butter. And these are my usual stats or the like. And I don't have a sgs2. I don't get to jizz my pants every day like you guys. Omg. This must be the most incredibly dumb post I've ever posted.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

Wow... so much anger in this forum.
There is a simple solution to all of u angry birds, when u see a thread with the word "battery" in it, run away as fast as u can, and dont look back, ur wasting ur time and others by posting useless angry replies, so cut the crap and grow up...
to the op, thanks for ur post it was helpful at least to me if that counts.

Wow. 4 hours. On a charge. Omfg. Incredible. I get about 7 hours. On a charge. I guess all that wifi/cell data, email sync, emulators and text make me a light user. Tucks tail between legs.
Weren't you just trolling in the atrix forums letting us know exynos > tegra2? How's that being tethered to a wall working out for you?

@cc999 Thanks for posting your experiance about battery life, don't bother about angry birds. They can't get laid than express anger on your thread .

@cigaro78 You are sooo wrong! The batteries are not all the same. It depends on many factors (how they are stored before shipping, and lotof thing).
Last year i did some test on 5 exact same new mobile phones (samsung omnia i900) and 2 of them have battery wear of 24%.
So the point is that you coud buy a new phone with some percentage of damaged battery.
Thats a first thing, the second thisng is that firmware (battery optimisation) could extremely reduce or extend battery life, depanding on optimisation.
I tried 5 firmwares, 3 of them 2.3.3 and 2 - 2.3.4. (all stock roms)
Best battery experience I had with 2.3.3 XWKF3 (2.3.3), and the worst on XXKH3 (2.3.4), but for some users 2.3.4 is way better for battery.
I can't get over 16h of normal usage at all. (1h phone talk, 50-80 messages, 25 emails, 30 mins on internet (3G) and about 20 mins of playing amtale). DIsplay usage is 44% (auto), 25% Voice calls, 10% android OS, Internet 9% Android system 8% etc...

I was quite chuffed with mine, 2d 12 hours! admittedly not heavy usage but moderate!

Lol sounds exactly like my usage.. I don't follow? Tethered to a wall? If you're referring to webtop I don't miss it one bit... And yes I troll the atrix forums frequently... I sold mine to my friend so sometimes I check on progress. And am I wrong about the tegra 2 vs exynos thing? Honestly i've heard arguments for both sides but wouldn't mind another opinion. Sorry to hijack.
