However, the point of my post on the last page was that at home and the surrounding area I live in, I get a marginal signal at best (I also have one of the NEW Airvana Airave femtocells that does 3G - the samsung does not) and that made a bit of a difference, however, last week I was out of town and had nearly perfect coverage and was pulling 2.5 days on a charge consistently. Even my wife noticed it on her regular phone that her battery was doing better. One thing I noticed though since I'm back home is that my screen turns on by itself a lot. Didn't do that in Charleston at all. It has nothing to do with the ROM, rather it is becasue the phone is switching between the signal it picks up randomly from a tower and then back to my Airave. I can duplicate it 100% by walking out to my street and then back into my driveway and it will do it at almost (within 2 feet) the same spot every time. The constant turning on and off of the screen WILL drain the battery faster. So why then do we get less battery life and some get worse than others? Well, like I mentioned (see my Faqs post in my sig line) things like eye candy also affect how our custom ROM's perform. Look at a stock rom...pretty plain, right? Thats one of the reasons you get better battery life out of a stock ROM. change to CHT and Dinik and you get LOTS of eye candy which pushes the phone harder. Its a tradeoof and the small price we pay to have "better" looking and functioning phones - the way they SHOULD have been in the first place. I personally like the "darker" roms because that doesn't take as much of a toll on the processing. Not sure about the GTX, but it seems like all that "white stuff" would make the battery drain faster. Just my opinion as I have not tried a GTX flavor. Another consideration is that the ROM's we are using are not specifically designed (from the core) for our phones so there is a bit of a tradeoff there as well. NRG and many of the other chefs have done a fantastic job of making them work and kudos to them for doing so. Without them, I'd be having some seriouse phone envy for my daughters Droid Incredible. (which, BTW, gets crappy battery life too) Overall, I've been VERY happy with the Sept 4 24xxx CHT build, but, since I'm back home now and bored, I may flash to the 9/8 CHT and give it a go. But yes, the batteries (particularly if you are talking about the same ones I posted about, DO make a difference) So, I'm glad someone else is trying them too and I'm interested in your long term use experiences.

F-IN ROCK SOLID. NOT ONE CRASH YET, NOTHING HANGS, and battery gets me an average of 2 full days between charges even with my normal use. Oh, and didn't NRGZ mention it was fast? He was right. I forgot I DIDN'T overclock this time. Didn't need to...

Something must have been running in the background to lose 50% battery overnight

Hmmmm...
May have jinxed myself today. Was bored and tires of cleaning windows...the glass kind...so I thought I'd give 09-08 24xxx CHT a try. weeelllll. I installed all of my usual cabs manually as always and in the usual order that I install them and I've had two SOD's so far in the last 30 mins. Thats a first for me since early July. So far one of the SOD's was a black screen variant and the power button would not work so I had to soft reset. The second one was a screen freeze while I was trying to get to my email folder through sense. The third - yep, a third one now - was another screen freeze but rotation would work. Just couldn't navigate to any other screens. ************************************************** *** Other observations. I think one of the big differences between this rom and the 09-04 was the "finger friendliness" of 09-04. It seemed that the scrollbars were a little wider and the "kinetic" was a bit more responsive. But, living life on the edge, I have to give this one a chance before I flash back to 09-04 so I'll see how things settle in for the rest of the day and maybe tomorrow. Will report back with some more findings. now...off to clean some windows... David |

Ive tried the sept 8 release since Sept 9 and im waiting for NRGZ next release then im going to try it and if i dont like it as much as the sept 4 release,which is my favorite so far,im flashing back to sept 4 24XXX CHT Dinik Glass rom because it was more stable and also had the link to rom fixes included,which was left out of the Sept 8 release.But im going to stick it out with the Sept 8 release until NRGZ next release and if its not a rather noticeable difference then back to Sept 4. On a side note i personally dont like Arkswitch.It has given me issues and caused problems for me on many different roms.I wish NRG would try a different task mngr like the mmtask manager, or xtask,or any other task manager.Id like a different task manager and see if memory or stability increases.Just a thought. |

@lbcary
Thanks for the info. The HTC folder was fixed a while back (had to do with the documents tab that has since been removed by NRG), however, I was not aware of an issue with arkswitch, so I will follow your advice and give it a try. I'll post back with what happens. So far, since my last post, I've had several more SOD's resulting in soft resets, so I'll try that before I pass final judgement on it. I'm also not ruling out a bad flash so I may wipe it, redownload the rom again and then reflash. Thanks for the tips and advice. David |
