I am having several major problems with my phone ever since I tried flashing some new stuff over the Skyraider 3.3 final ROM!! Everything was fine, except for the extremely excessive battery drain after I installed the ROM the first time. Then I flashed a splash zip and also the blue battery circle zip and last but not least the #5 kingxklick bfs kernal. Ever since then my phone has gone berserk. When I hold down my power button, not only does the screen for all of the options(hibernation, power down, reboot, etc..) not come up, it just goes straight to my bootanimation screen and it boots back up. Also, the excessive battery drain has gotten worse!! So, I booted back into recovery and did a restore. This seemed to stop the craziness of my phone, unfortunately it still just reboots when I hold the power button down and the excessive battery drain is still going on!!! Anyone have any suggestions? I'm afraid to do anything else because it seems that I have done enough for right now top screw it up!
Make sure you're not overclocking more than your phone can handle (if at all).
I'm running this same combo (SR 3.3/Kingxkernel BFS #5) and it's working quite well for me with good battery life.
If you choose to reinstall, do a complete wipe/cache wipe *twice* from the recovery menu before flashing.
First of all, Thank you very much!! I know this is a dumb question, but how do I check to see if I'm overclocking? I don't know how to do that, obviously. Ha.
that rom is dependant on radio, and HBoot being up to date. If you don't meet both, you will have problems. I had all sorts of issues with 3.3 when I installed it only to find you have to have s-off, 2.15 radio, and .79 Hboot. The reboot problem is more than likely the Hboot, anything below .79 frow what I understand will not support the new hibernation modes, which causes the reboot.

I was using the hibernation mode every night since it came out on .77 HBOOT with no issues. I only just now updated HBOOT cause I got bored and wanted the newest one lol.. But yeah, was I just lucky? :/

Can't find an answer to this on google or xda. Didn't know if I should post this in General or Q&A.
I have been using my Incredible since it came out. I quickly learned about rooting, roms, s-off... with no problems. I have been running Skyraider almost from the beginning.
Here is the problem: A few days ago, I noticed on the SR thread that there were updates for the radio and hboot. So, I went ahead and flashed them. Almost immediately I started noticing the screen becoming unresponsive. After a minute or two I did a battery pull, rebooted, and again after a little while, freeze and reboot. I also noticed that even when the phone is awake but screen off, it would wake itself up. The rebooting and freezing makes it impossible to use my phone.
I tried everything I could think of:
Nandroid restore (obviously didn't work since this doesn't effect hboot or radio).
Reinstalled fresh SR Rom wiping everything, including dalvik, and did factory reset.
Finally, I downgraded back to the hboot and radio versions I had before, still no effect. (Baseband version 2.15.00.07.28, hboot .79 ).
I tried installing another ROM (Uncommon sense) to make sure it wasn't a ROM issue, ..same problem.
Please, any help would be much appreciated. I don't know what my next step should be.
do you overclock at all?

No overclocking, I don't use setcpu, and I have been running the stock kernel. But it does feel like overclocking.
I wonder if the timing of events is just coincidence and its a hardware issue. I've had my Inc since June... rooted s -off in july and had no problems until about a month ago. I don't oc I use the new stock kernel but my phone hates change. Even flashing a small mod will cause rebooting.... and navigation always causes it. Phone heats up fast with these particular activities too but sometimes it will reboot at only 35c after a flash. I'm thinking hardware

Thanks,
You may be right.
For now things are working, let's hope they stay that way.
Basically when I install the warm 2.2 rom it will hang on the htc evo screen. I had flashed this rom earlier this morning and it flashed fine. Ever since I've flashed CR 6.1.1 this afternoon i've been having problems. Even my baked snack 1.9 rom is very slow but comes up after either sitting at the Green HTC text after it has booted. I had to power down the phone a few times to even get that to come up. Is there something I'm doing wrong here all the sudden? I am clearing davlik and partition cache, even tried to wide data/restore to no avail. I'm at a loss here. Anyone have any input here? As I type this, I just did a complete wipe and tried to install Warm 2.2 and it is just sittin at the white screen that says HTC EVO 4G. Powered down a few times and removed battery for a minute to no avail, still just sits at that white screen.
I am able to restore from nandroid. I am also able to isntall a few roms.
Thanks

Uh, what kernel/radios are you using? I had similar problems when I flashed the all in one radio combo in calk's thread.
That is exactly what I did too, flashed the radios. How did you resolve that issue? I dind't even think that would cause these types of problems.
I just put on Fresh 3.5 and it installed fine. I am using kernel 2.6.32.17-gee557fd (under it says [email protected] #15 (Which kernel would that be?) PRI is 1.90_003
Well I downgraded the radio to2.15.00.09.01 and I got past the white screen and into warm. THanks much!! I had no idea that a radio would just cause it to hang like that. So the only way to revert back to an old radio file is to install it? A nanrestore doesn't do that it appears??
Thanks very much

Im not a noob but this is a problem that i cant solve. I had to jus recently re root my phone. Flashed my 1st rom and phone would show same time for up and awake time sometimes awake time would be a fraction of a second more than up. ****in weird. Pulled battery... problem still persisted. flashed a few other roms also restored a nandroid(jus a week old) to see if it would stop. no go. Maybe I need to re root again?
stock htc kernel 15
rom- currently mikfroyo 4.30. tried calk's evio 1.7.7. and my nandroid back up was calk's evio 1.7.5

Do you have the latest raidios updated? Alot of people have been having issues with the NV and PRI being 1.90. Try downgrading that and see if it helps
my pri is only 1.34 so maybe i should try the latest radios

Also, do you use 4g? There is a known bug, that when you turn 4g on, and then toggle it off, that the radio remains scanning, and holds a wake lock. So you have to turn 4g off and reboot. Just throwing some things out there.
I am having this same problem, I thought it might have been some thing in Juice Defender... but my screen setting is set right and everything... I have to manually shut the screen off by pressing the top button... if I dont - it just dims to very low brightness and stays on...
I am having the same problem as well. Never had but had to switch evo's due to my old one dying. My new one always stays awake. I have tried four different rom's, same thing. I killed my old one updating radios so I am hesitant to do that again. Any other ideas? My am out and this phone is almost useless in this state. The battery life is down right atrocious. I hate to get rid of it but if this can't be corrected I won't have a choice.
I'm running CM6.1.1 currently, but I've been having this issue since before I flashed that. The problem is that the phone, generally when it's been in my pocket (but not always) will lock up in such a way that I can't 'wake' it. The only way to revive it is to pull the battery and reboot.
Other than the phone being idle (in my pocket, on a table, etc..), I can't seem to find any pattern to it. Here's the changes I've made from stock:
Permarooted, subsidy unlock, and s-off via gfree (-f)
Clockword Recovery 3.0.0.5
Eng Hboot
Flashed new radio
Bacontbits OC Kernel (running 245-1305 ondemand)
CM6.1.1
Launcher Pro
1800MaH EVO battery upgrade
Problem is, I did all of this stuff at once, so I can't pinpoint when the behavior started. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Or even how I might track down what happens just before it goes kaput? I guess I could flash it back to stock and start adding things methodically...but what a pain. Also, I'm so hooked on CM, I don't know if I can ever go back to vanilla froyo! :-D
Thanks!
flash the pershoot kernel and see how that goes
it works p. good for me
*shrug*...can't hurt. No lockups yet. We'll see though.
On a related note, I found a somewhat accepted name for my problem...Sleep of Death. Thanks CM forums!
Pershoot seems to have cleared it up. Dunno why, but thanks!
Does Pershoot have a new kernel out?
My Evo running warm 2.2 rls 5 with nets 4.3.2 cfs sbc nohavs suv stopped sleeping so I decided to just do a full wipe and reflash the rom/kernel. After reflashing I did absolutely nothing to it (no apps installed, etc) to see if it would sleep and waited for an hour or so and still no sleep. Back to recovery, full wipe, flashed rom only, still no sleep! I had calk 1.7.1 on the SD card so I did another full wipe and flashed that and still it won't sleep!! I'm sure it's not some app because no additional apps are installed and i've never had this problem with either rom before. Any ideas what could be causing this? Let me know if more information is needed too!

Could possibly be that your phone doesn't like the PRI you're using. A lot of people had wake lock issues while running the 1.90 PRI, myself included. Downgrading to the 1.77 PRI solved that issue for me right away. I would suggest trying that, if you are indeed on the 1.90 PRI. If you're on 1.77 already, maybe try changing to 1.90. Just make sure when you're flashing the PRI, that you let it finish completely. Its like a radio flash, where you see some different screens and what not, so don't pull the battery!
install Spare Parts. Wait a day or so, then check the battery history in that app, particularly the partial wake usage.
Prl 1.77 seems to work nicely. 1.9 usually gives issues
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
prl is actually 1.34_003 so i'll have to update that and see if anything changes.
I'm attaching spare parts screenshots for the partial wake...see if that gives anyone ideas until I update the prl.
Even with the updated Prl it won't sleep. Any other ideas of what could be causing this? I'm not quite sure how to read the spare parts screens...nothing looks to be out of the ordinary for to me. Are there any other diagnostics tools i could use to see whats keeping it from sleepin?

I don't use spare parts too much, so I could be wrong. But where it says 'android system', i thought you can tap that, and it will show you a list of things that have been running. Not sure. As for other types of diagnostic and useful apps for this type of thing, you can try SystemPanel, OS Monitor, Watchdog. There are more, but I think those are the most popular. Are you sure you don't have a runaway app? This happens after a complete wipe (data, dalvik cache, cache, flash calkulins format all.zip) without adding any apps to the ROM? Just the apps that came loaded up with the ROM? Are you logged into facebook, and have it syncing a lot? If it syncs every hour, that could be a part of your problem.
I've reflashed roms and then simply skipped through all the setup screens and then locked the screen and just let it sit for over an hours and it would not sleep so I'm fairly sure it's not a run away app

Weird. When did this start happening? Any notable time?(any changes you made around when it started happening?) You already confirmed which PRI you were on, and that you updated that. Have you checked your radio version? Maybe if that is also old, as your PRI was prior, then the PRI and the radio aren't jiving. I would make sure that all your radios are updated at this point. All Evo radios, wimax versions, pri's, and nv's are on this page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 . You can flash a combo if you want, and flash them all at the same time. If it still does it after making sure that all your radios are updated, and you are using a rom with the latest 3.70 software, then I am at a loss and I apologize. Up to date radios, a clean install of a ROM after a COMPLETE wipe should yield an Evo that sleeps like a rock.
Sleep issue fixed!

Downgrading the PRI from 1.90 to 1.77 resolved my rooted EVO not sleeping issue. I am using the stock 2.2 ROM rooted with unrevoked.
Sleep issue also fixed
Hey,
Just wanted to say I was also having the issue about my EVO 4g not sleeping. I'd unrooted and then re-rooted my phone, and noticed my up time and awake time were the same. Downgraded to 1.77 and immediately my phone slept.
Back down to <10% awake time (thank GOODNESS) lol.
Preciate ya!
I would thank ya, but I can't...yet lol
Sorry, I'm a total noob, what exactly does sleep mean for a phone cause I'm having issues with my evo too with no battery life and I'm running on Myn r. 5
