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

[Chasjr_72]

Lastly the battery life is not as good as v1.3. I am down to 69% after 4 hours of normal use (much worse than with v1.3).

Long story short - it seems something changed in v1.4.



I loaded the new v1.4 ROM last night and my battery is dead all ready today. I did not take it off the charger till around 9:30 am. I received no calls and had push mail running that's it. I had v1.2 installed before. I did not do a hard reset after flashing.

I forgot it is also very warm to the touch.

I think it is a good idea for everyone to religiously do a hard reset after flashing. Is it overkill after other flashes have worked before without a hard reset? Maybe. Is it worth doing to eliminate that as a possible solution so that cooks can concentrate on proven problems? I think so.

The battery on this rom has been great with the Telus radio... i think you might want to recomend that first, because I have had the best battery time since I got this phone, once i upgraded the radio, and loaded this rom, I still have the same problem with some of the games... (pipes in particular is the worst) like i told you before it freezes the timer... you cant do anything for a few seconds, then the timer resumes missing the seconds that elapsed, and you can play, for a few seconds anyway till it happens again.

If it is warm to the touch. Something is running or wrong. WIFI is on, Bluetooth or GPS. I have flashed twice today (with my 30 minute customizations) and I am still at 81%.

Kevan -

Hard reset did not seem to do the trick. I am going to go back to v1.3 and see if there is any change. Or I might just hard reset again without adding anything back or maybe both

Either way I will report back with what I find.

Ya I just dont understand it, my battery has always not been the greatest but thats just a common problem with these devices but this has been pretty bad, to test I flashed Mightys new Rom and after the same time im still at 90, so its either a tweaak or something is running in the background that im not aware of, I ho estly dont care cuz I have a charger everywhere i go, work,car,home, and I absutely LOVE this rom so ill deal with it and eventually I know Kevan will do something that fixes it.
