Currently using 23563 version. Any of you guys see this when using IMPlus version 7.7.1? It appears like the contact names are overlapping.

NRG,

Just wanted to say I love your ROM's. I don't see how you crank them out so fast, but I am glad you do.

I flashed the newest ROM today and when I used the Settings Exporter/Importer everything updated except the Home Tab settings, I don't know if this is a bug or not, just letting you know.

Thanks

Ok, so first of all let me just say that I love the Energy ROMs. Out of all them this one is definitely the fastest.
However, WHAT IS UP WITH THE YOUTUBE HQ VIDEO PROBLEM. I just dont understand it.
All the tweaks and fixes that have been made and all the different releases that have been put out yet Youtube is still broken. I just got the May 4th release and it still locks up the phone. Like I said, I love these ROMs but the Youtube problem is really ruining it for me.

Does anyone else have issues with Facebook synced contact pictures changing during calls. Pictures revert back to an old saved picture. My pictures are up to date but once a contact call and I answer it switches to a different picture. This has been happening to all ROMs. I'm on the 23rd build now.

Each time I flash a ROM, here are the steps I take to maximize battery life:

1) Network to CDMA only.
2) Location to 911 only.
3) Change backlight settings to auto, rather than stock 100%.
4) Set active sync peak times (M-F 7:30a-5p) and set the off-peak sync to every 2 hrs.
5) In BsB tweaks, I enable power save mode.
6) No "push" internet favorites anywhere (IE: links on home screen, favorites, or internet tab)
7) Never have on WiFi
8.) Bluetooth is never on either.

Things running which affect battery life (for the worse):
1) FB tab
2) Wxr tab

I am using the Apr 23rd 29101 Sense 2.5 standard ROM. Now, I know battery life does improve over time due to the phone "feeling-out" the battery, so to speak. Nevertheless, this is now at the 12 day mark, and no matter what, after unplugging the phone fully charged at ~7:30a, by 4p I'm down to 65% or less.

I have noticed something though, which pertains to both the battery issues, and the memory leak I mentioned a few pages back...I may FINALLY have a possible cause:

I noticed that the ROM doesn't start to drain battery and slow down until I've made a few calls. So, I tested my hypothesis and made a few calls, after each I checked the full task manager (in tools), as well as my memory usage. When I make calls, the "phone" application shows up in the task manager, and then closes when I end the call (as it should). So my hypothesis was wrong...until I made another call which was interrupted by an incoming call, which I answered. As expected, it put the other person on hold, but after ending both calls I noticed the "phone" application still listed. I then made another call, and voila: TWO instances of the phone app were running. When I ended the other call, one went away, but the other remained, leading me to believe that the memory leak is due to multiple instances of the phone application remaining open.

Also, while I cannot attribute this directly to a battery/memory drain, I have noticed that there is a program called "gwes.exe" which has a red x icon next to it. This program is always running, and seems to be very high up on the CPU/memory allocation lists. What is this program?

Hope this helps!

Any chance for a change log for the may 4th versions? Aside from the battery/memory issues, the Apr 23rd incarnation is serving me quite well, and it's hard for me to resign to upgrading without an idea of what's different...obviously. In other words, I like to know what's in my Kool-Aid Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, every custom rom has this problem. Its not something that can just be fixed overnight.

While it does take some adjusting to get the maximal battery life, I've tried out a number of custom ROMs, and there is no "wait a couple days" excuse for others; they just seem to last longer. Don't know what the cause could possibly be, but its been the case since the first NRG build.

For me the more services that I turn on the more the battery drains. aGPS, Facebook/Twitter updates, email, weather. They all consume battery outside of browsing and making calls. Also for me, where I am located makes a difference. I turn off my data while I'm in the office because of poor reception area. The worse your signal, the more the phone has to work to find a cell tower.

I also think this is a general issue with Sense (and smartphones in general). If you are going to be using these services constantly then your best bet is to get a larger capacity battery. The NRG Rom series is typically going to include more than other ROM cookers so I think you have to take it as it comes or use another ROM, or not use Sense.
