P/B go.to apps the open spare parts and see what's consuming the most battery. Also dl CPU spy and see the percentage of deep.sleep CPU time

If you haven't rooted and.gotten off of the stock rom, you'll likely never experience decent battery life.

I average 1-3mA draw @idle and screen off on CM7. I also run a 20% oc.

how can you tell what's running? i have app killer and use it everytime i finish with something on my phone to make my battery last.

n/m, i should have read alittle more before posting.

this seems to be the place to ask the question so here i go. I recently tried to root my epic 4g and didnt do it right. Does anyone have a link that will help me or some kind of pointers. This is my first smart phone that i have tried to do anything with.

HTC has me pissed off right now. They really fucked things up with the Thunderbolts on the May 12th update. And now, nobody can seem to release gingerbread for this beotch.

Im tempted to figure out how to root this damn thing... but I wouldnt know what to do with it once I did.

Run this to restore to factory then root. This will WIPE/ERASE EVERYTHING.

Current Widget on home screen showing 110 mA draw at phone wake. I see the same no matter if the phone is sleeping or awake. App use makes it go up but at idle or sleep it stays 68-150 mA

[Pokulski-Blatz]

If.you open the widget, you can see what's in the foreground and background. If something is in the foreground that you know shouldn't be, kill it then screen off. Wait a few thescreen on to see what your draw is.

I did this and saw no real change in anything, I hardly have anything in the foreground anyhow.

Your phone is constantly hunting for signal. Update your prl and make sure you're using the recommended radio for cm7 on the evo.

So I have to flash back to sense to update and then flash back to CM7?

Note for CM users: CM users will have to update their PRL through a Sense ROM. At this time CM does not support EPST codes.
-Do a full Nandroid Backup,
-after you do your Nandroid Backup wipe the Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Data,
-then flash a stock-based ROM (i.e., Fresh, Myn's, etc.),
-update your PRL,
-and then do a Nand Restore back to CM.

From what I was reading there is no way to update prl while on cm7

I stand corrected and I'll admit, I'm not super familiar w/ Sprint since I'm an ATT user. See which radio you're using then check it against the list I linked to. If it's an older one, you may get better results w/ the latest.

Looking at the img's you posted, you're getting deep sleep most of the time as you should, it just appears that based on one of them that it's searching for signal/towers frequently and that'll cause drain.

Try this, go to dialer and press *#*#4636#*#* then touch Phone info

Tell me what Signal Strength shows xxdBm xxasu also what's showing under Set Preferred network type.
