[3-9-09] KK's Loaded ROM v1.8 Sprint and Others [OS 5.2.21015 Build 21015] [UC] - Page 44

pwrinxs · #**431** (**permalink**) 02-02-2009, 11:29 PM

I am experiencing great battery life on my first KK ROM. I unplugged a fully charged phone at 11:15pm last night. Woke up at 8 am with 92% battery left. Made about 30 phone calls mostly 2-4 minutes and a couple 5-10 minutes. Sent and received about 200 texts and had email checked every 2 hours (and also downloaded 150 old emails in addition to about 5 new emails every 2 hours).

It's been 23 hours and I'm at 11% charge right now. Great work! Also FYI: I am on the Telus 1.04 radio.

KK, I have a sprint diamond will your rom adapt fine or has anyone had any issues and does your rom do anything to speed up the camera at all? Thanks

No real camera tweaks. My rom cannot be installed on a diamond. When I have worked out most of the TP bugs I will build a Diamond Rom.

Did you kill TaskFacade or leave it running?

If you need info, or whatever let me know, be glad to help ya out.

I also had this problem today. I have not used my phone a lot. But I needed it and had to do a soft reset because it was taking too long to get back to normal. I did not have a problem with battery life. But that may be because I did a soft reset.

I didn't know what it was or what it did so when I saw the program running in the morning, I killed it. It never came up since.

Not a problem. I have removed TaskFacade from the next build. Looks like it was causing a number of issues. Battery life and slow downs.

Sorry to mention this again, but I really love your ROM. Great work. I am new (first ROM - with upgrading from 0.9 to 1.2) that I have flashed.

There is one bug which I found and mentioned before. I thought that it might have been a bad flash initially, but it happens in the upgrade.

If you choose a simple password lock to occur after a set time, you cannot manually lock the phone with that selected. Of note, I also choose long press end key to lock the phone. Is there a correction I can make in the settings to be able to do that?

Looks like this is a problem with the Long Press End Key application. People have reported this same issue with multiple roms and devices. It seems that if you lock with no password set, it works correctly. If you have a password/pin defined it doesn't work.

If someone finds a stable free app that will remap the button and work I will add it to the ROM. Any ideas?

Kevan -

Here is a battery update. Left work around 6PM and my battery was at 95%, A2DP music for the ride home (about 25 minutes) and a 5 minute phone call. Exchange push goes to every 2 hours after 6PM. No TM. Taskfade is off.

So now it is 11:48 and my battery is at 86%.

I know I said I would test Sprint Nav on the way home but I felt kind of silly having it tell me direction for a route I have been driving for years.

No issues with battery life here. I would say the best I have had so far.
