More like condensed the name down to Overclock.apk, it kept saying it didn't know what program to open the file with. Dunno why

what did you rename it to?

 

[mysticmead]

Well I installed Overclock at 73% about 9pm. Was at the bar doing some web browsing and a few texts hoping to get the battery to the 50% marker and see if Overclock made any difference....Unfortunately same scenario, hits 50% and off it goes dropping like nobody's business. I'm going to recharge, wipe battery history and try again tomorrow I guess. What are the odds of this just being a bad flash of the gumbo kernal? I know I'm probaly the only on running stock rom here, but if other people are having the same issue on fresh and what not.....

Another thing I've noticed is that if I don't reboot my phone every couple of days the free RAM starts to drop off. It will start at ~85mb, hang in the mid 70's for the first day or so, then mid 60's, then drop to the high 50's.

you know.. I wonder if its the location bug that is eating up you free memory as well as your battery. that was one of the things corrected by Fresh 1.1.. this link is about the stock weather widget not updating.. but the reason why it doesn't is what I'm talking about.

I am using the flipclock. I'll look into that a little more after work tonite. But what about the other folks here that say they are running fresh but having the same battery issue?

most of those seems to have been resolved with overclock or a reboot.. then again.. maybe it's just a bad battery...

So say I just got rid of that clock and went with Beautiful Widgets, would that fix it if it is the problem? Or would I need to delete the HTC location services from system/app also?

 

[mysticmead]

no idea.. you might want to ask Flipz over at eithger XDA or at his site geekfor.me

I WAS running fresh 1.1, and my battery was still being ate up. I had SetCPU at 528/160.

Now, I am running Panake 0.1, awesome awesome rom, without SetCPU, and my battery does amazing.

Do you have system tray? if so what is your free ram with pancake?

My battery life is sucking a little bit lately, I have to charge half way through the day while I'm at school and then when I get home around 6pm I'm at less than half battery life again. I unplugged it this morning at 7. Can someone direct me to a link with a walk through on using the spareparts app to check for awake time and possible draining apps? I've been searching but can't find what it is i should be looking for.

how good is your signal while at school? if you have a weak signal, then no matter what, your battery won't last long..

 

[DanielWalker]

the signal is never good but never roaming either.

when you have a poor signal, the phone boosts the power a little in order to reach the tower.. 1-2 bars means you burn through the battery a lot faster... even twice as fast as someone with 5+ bars.. I had piss poor signal, then I got an Airave.. I now have 5-6 bars at all times in my house (and half way up my driveway).. my battery was lasting half a day.. now it goes all day and with little use 30+ hours
