I love this phone.. I really DO!! But I use it for business/pleasure..
Pleasure it seems to run OK..
Business is the problem here.
OK here is whats done to it..
Rooted the phone, got Titanium, backed it all up, got Rom manager, did a nandroid back up.. Applied Fresh's Rom, then applied the Blue theme, and finally applied Prolauncher.
Thats about it besides a few apps I like.
Here is the problem..
I am sitting in an Air conditioned room, my phone is either plugged into the usb to the computer on charge only.. I am making calls on my phone for my business..
After a while it will start to get pretty hot.. Last night it got to a 109 degrees (F)
But just now it started to not respond to my finger presses.. Eventually I had to pop the battery out.. Now I am NO LONGER plugged into the usb for charging.. And after another 30 or so minutes.. SAME THING
This is really a dissapointment.. Anyone have idea's ??
THANKS
Did you wipe the phone before flashing Fresh?

Yes of course..
I would also like to add.. Here in FL driving in my car, and using the phone, the same thing happens. If it gets to hot I notice it stops responding.. What is making these things over heat?
I think most of us here play our games, listen to our music, but using the phone seems to eat a lot of resources or requires a lot from the CPU? hence locking up?
Thanks!!
Try adding a profile to setcpu to limit cpu usage after it reaches a certain degree and set the priority to about 70-100 and party around with the settings

I would check to see if anything is eating up cpu cycles and preventing your phone from sleeping. That would explain the overheating and the sluggish performance.

Ok so I just rooted added a few apps for root nothing that I know will drain my battery, ok so my battery goes down like 10% each hour doesnt last, thats just sitting in my pocket, any ideas

Are you running stock Rom? I suggest using an SBC kernel..
more info needed what programs have you added. something maybe causing a wake lock issue.
rooted my new EVO with unrevoked3,then installed netarchy-toastmod 4.3.1 kernel and my battery lasts all day with moderate usage
I doubt rooting it made your battery worse. there are many rom choices and apps to help you out. With rooting comes tinkering and it looks like its time to tinker. Look into an app called Spare Parts and another one call Autostarts

The other issue is your battery stats may be off if you did something odd during rooting. There are several ways to fix that, the generally accepted way is to charge the phone while its on, turn it off completly, then:
1: Unplug phone when light is green
2: Plug in the phone
3: Repeat 10-15 times
I had the same issue, and this is what I did to fix my battery.
1. let the phone die completely, IE when the phone cannot turn on at all anymore.
2.Leave the phone off, let it charge overnight.
3.Verify that the phone is at 100% by going into settings->about phone->status
4.Power the phone off.
5.Boot into recovery
6.Wipe battery stats.
This should fix the issue, if not then consider using a different rom/kernel combo. I myself am personally using CM7 and suffer maybe 40% drain at most with my phone in my pocket with a typical 12 hour shift at work.
**Also, turn 3G off if you aren't using the internet, facebook, or Gmail ect ect. You can still recieve phone calls and text messages using this method. I believe there used to be an option to only have 3G running when the screen is on but i'm not 100% sure if this is still available.**
Yeah like I did that crazy charge thing I read about where you let It die and it helped for a bit and now thing just goes down like 20% after 30mins of just sitting in my pocket

I've been constantly battling sleep issues. I am on PRI/NV 1.77 and latest radio. I tried downgrading to 1.77 just recently to see if it would fix it and it hasn't, but I'm staying put.
Running latest MIUI and Savage 1.6 kernel.
Spare parts had been showing on average 50% running time even though my screen on time would be something like 5%. I had read that ideally these ratios should match, since it means your phone is properly sleeping.
Spare parts shows paltry wake locks of just a few seconds or minutes for Android System as the top app. I've killed all my widgets and even tried airplane mode and don't notice too much of a drop. After getting rid of all updating widgets (minimal text and the MIUI cal widget) and stopping google calendar sync I'm currently at 30% running vs 5% screen on. I've basically got everything that would run in the BG disabled -- set cpu, system monitor, etc. Is this a "good ratio"? Any other ideas on debugging what seems to be an obvious wake lock? I've looked at logcat and don't see a thing that looks interesting, hardly any activity. Am I just being crazy or does it seem like I still have a wake lock?
Thanks for reading
If you've constantly been battling sleep issues, I would start looking at rogue apps that may be causing Android System processes to act up.
For instance:
I was battling a sleep issue with before knowing about PRI 1.90 causing it. Went so far as to reinstall my ROM wipe wipe and wipe some more before finally figuring it out.
In another instance I was battling sleep issues because of HTC's Facebook for HTC Sense. It was causing constant sync and I didn't notice because the sync icon would eventually go away, even if it took around half an hour.
One more instance, constantly changing governors with SetCPU was causing Android System process to use up a lot of CPU and my phone would become sluggish, and only after opening SetCPU and closing it again would my phone return to normal.
I would definitely start out by figuring out what apps you may have running at all times that aren't native to Android, then go from there. It sucks but once you figure it out, good times!

Thanks for the reply.
So, this is a bad ratio then, i'm not nuts?
I kill EVERYTHING then sleep and i'm still seeing the issues. Is there some more fool proof way I can guarantee nothing is running before sleeping? My guess would be something syncing more than it should have. Should I try toggling everything app's sync off and then sleeping?
Ok, turned off sync, slept and the top UID was 10018, which on my phone linked back to Google Service Framework. I'm clearing data, turning off sync and watching again to see if it has issues.

Interesting, I had that UID 10018 problem before and I never figured it out. It maybe Google Talk, Gmail, or even the Calendar. You may have to try clearing caches of one or all three to really see.
Cleared data, sleeping didn't improve. I slept with sync off after clearing data...i'm at a loss. I have next to nothing starting up. The only thing I can think is that Spare parts is reporting wrong information. You'd think it would be fairly easy to determine why the phone is not sleeping. If i don't even have sync turned on and it's still not sleeping as much as I feel it should be, I'm at a bit of a loss :/

Under battery........what are your Up Time and Awake Time looking like?
Identical? minutes apart? seconds?

I'm not sure how to get to that in MIUI, in battery settings i jut see my minutes since unplugged. No Awake time.
What's a good ratio for awake/screen on? I really wouldn't want my awake time to be more than %120 of the screen on time. This can change if you regularly use the phone while the screen is off (music playing, wifi stuff, etc). At least, I'm pretty sure having the wifi on will increase your awake time.

hmm ding ding ding.
Turned off wifi, did a quick 15 minute test and now my awake/screen are right in line....so what gives? Why does wifi prevent my phone from sleeping? Since i'm running MIUI i have to have wifi set to never sleep otherwise you get random reboots...feel like i'm between a rock and a hard place now :/

That's just how it is for all AOSP kernel using roms. Their wifi sleep mode is absolutely terrible. On the plus side, it seems as though it doesn't use an absurd amount of battery to keep the wifi on.
I think this is an ec05 thing. I never noticed out until ec05. What happens is, after talking on the phone for 30 minutes or so, if anything wakes the screen like another call or like today a low battery warning, the phone will freeze. Sometimes I can still talk and other times the call will drop.. I have noticed that sometimes when I hang up it will freeze and I will have to pull the battery and reboot. usually it is plugged into a charger, but also does this just by itself. It is not the wake from sleep thing, as I have had that and this is different.. Like the thing is getting to hot or something.. I am currently running a stock rooted only ec05. I have re ch lashed and all and I still have this problem here and there. It isn't every call and I can't reproduce it over and over.. Any ideas or things to try to narrow this down...
Thanks.
I've noticed this as well, both on bone stock, and on SRF 1.1.1.
Are your overclocked or undervolted? This could be causing funky cpu frequency jumps you otherwise normally don't see and causing your phone to freeze or even reboot.

Hello,
I need a simple app to help with an overheat problem on my EVO.
Let me recap the problem simply, when the phone gets too warm it will shut down and vibrate five times and then blink the green LED. The phone then cannot be turned back on until the battery has cooled down.
I have found a half solution, if my phone is in Airplane mode then it will not shut down even when it is warm. So, to avoid shutdown, I need a simple widget. The widget should be 2x1. On the left side, a simple battery temp monitor. On the right side, an airplane icon to let me know if the phone is in airplane mode or not.
What I need the app to do is to automatically switch the phone to airplane mode if the the phone gets above a user designated temperature. The only exception to the automatic airplane mode should be if the phone is in a current call. Seems like the phone will let me finish a call before shutting down due to heat. Hopefully the app can throw the phone into airplane mode immediately when the call ends. But if that exception is too difficult, the primary functionality would still be worth it.
This is my first app request, so I don't know if I'm being specific enough. I also know that other people can use this app. Hopefully someone out there can help us all out.
Thanks
There is an app called tasker that should be able to do that for you. At least untill someone can build an app for you.

Not sure what your doing to over heat the phone, but I would try to fix the problem instead of usong a work around. It sounds like you have an inefficient kernel or its too far ovrrclocked. I'm thinking continual use in this overheated state will cause unrepairable damage to your phone.
Just looked at Tasker, from what I can tell it does not have Temperature as an event.
And the problem cause is not my kernel, from what I can tell. I've tried a few different kernels on a couple different mods. I've tried underclocking and under volting. Nothing seems to help. From what I've read, I might have a faulty sensor.
I had a hell of a time with cm7 and the jit compiler. Poor battery life and running warm even when browsing the web. Not sure what your running but it may be as easy as tapping a checkbox.

It's a hardware cpu sensor calibration issue, according to Sprint tech Lokifish Mars. Search for my thread in Evo General.
I avoid shutdowns by keeping battery temp < 39°C.
mine overheated when i was charging and using hotspot/tether, somehow after i wiped my sd card and everything else and installed the rom again it never overheated again.
somehow the more apps get installed the more the chanse some of them be are gonna be running in the backgroung, who knows...

Some phones overheat and shutdown regardless of installed apps, rom, or kernel. My Evo consistently shutsdown at 39°C, even when running bare aosp w/zero apps installed.
It's only an issue for me when playing games, using the phone in high ambient temps, and flashing mods. Keeping the battery & cpu cool with a fan or ac vent is the only way I can flash mods or roms.
Elixir is a free app on the market, you can make customizable widgets (1x1 up to 4x1), one for temp, the other to toggle airplane mode.
I use it to monitor temp, battery, cpu freq, and cpu %, and to keep an eye on ram.
Works well.
Is anybody else having issues with their ET going to sleep and you have to pull the battery to get it come back up? I thought it might have been my setcpu settings. So I cleared them and uninstalled it. I tried the midnight rom and the starburst rom. I tried the stable and exp LosKernel. None of these got rid of this issue for me. Randomly through out the day I can try to wake the phone up to use it and nothing happens. After a minute or two I have to pull the battery. I am currently testing the stock kernel.
Thats weird, the only time that happened to me was when i had setcpu, and i tried putting "screen off" value to 200/200.
You should install setcpu again, and make screen off value 500/500, and if you dont have the issue, then try making the value 200/500, if you dont have the issue at this value, then leave it as is.

I agree it is weird and I am not sure why it is happening. If it stays okay with the stock kernel then I may wipe and try the viperrom.
Yep happened twice the other day... Im on stock rom with lost kernel..roooted i put setcpu to 200/1200 after waking my screen for a minute used google came back 3 min later and phone was either off or wouldnt wake .. I had to pull battery twice.
I setcpu up to 1200/1200 never happened again.
This is a nice phone but very touchy.. Seems alot weird things goin on for some Et users.
Worst of all for this phone is Los or just weak /radio signal in general ..which is a samsung issue.

Why people still insist on screen off profiles amazes me. When you hit the power button to wake it - the phone is stuck at 200MHz, you do realize this? If snything else is going on while it's stuck at 200 or SetCPU doesn't sample the phones state fast enough, it never gets out of 200MHz and locks up. Just like any other processor does when you overload it.
All the background processes going on even when the screen is off and somebody thinks setting the CPU max to 200MHz is a good idea? That's just asking for it. Not to mention the screen off profile is known to cause this issue. Notice how Virtuous, Viper, Cyanogen, and many other developers don't use one in their native OC daemons? There's a reason why. The phone sleeps just fine without it, just let it do it's thing.
Don't use offscreen profiles (the kernel is smart enough) and avoid using task killers, as those are likely to be the second leading issue.
I am having the issue even with setcpu uninstalled. I still have not found out what is causing it.

Just wanted to throw this out there: beware mislabeling this problem. The setcpu issue causing the phone the permanently lock up and require a bat pull is one issue, yes; slow screen wake up is a different issue. Sometimes if you hit the power button, the screen will not wake up on the first try. If you wait a few seconds and push in the button again for a second or so, the screen almost always will come after. Coming from a mo-pho, I actually had the stupid no-wake problem requiring bat pulls, so I'm extremely paranoid about by e4gt doing this -- but it really has been good about eventually waking up every single time...just try my instructions and see if it works for you, too.
Again, though -- setcpu issues may be a different problem entirely.
did you reinstall a rom and try it again or did you simply just unistall setcpu and try it. I say this because I had an issue when testing setcpu and my system still kept my cpu setting even after I unistalled the app. I had to reinstall the rom after wiping to get it to run properly again.
I think I have found the issue. I did a factory reset and installed the rom but I am getting an error now that is basically saying it can't read the internal storage card. So I think there are some actual hardware issues going on that need to be looked at by sprint.
how often has the sod been happening? I think i got it yesterday, but not sure.
Do you use setcpu?

This thread seems a little slow- has there been a solution found or are we isolated cases?
I reflashed the phone back to rooted stock and then flashed Blazer 4.1.
Got 2 SODs in the past week- one just a few minutes ago.
I tried calling the phone from another line, it rings but the screen is black and thus I couldn't answer it.
Power button and vol buttons work fine.
I had to powerdown and reboot.
Getting kinda frustating.
