[Q] Phone Running 100% [Solved]

I've tried several different ROMs (AvaV10, Cyanogen, Fresh, NonSense), along with different kernels (pretty-much any that I could find), and I simply can not get my phone to sleep. It's always at 100%, no matter what I do.
In Spare Parts I'm getting:
Other Usage - Total in all time:
Running 100.0%
(everything else under 10%)
Partial wake usage - Total in all time:
Android System ~35%
UID 10027 ~20%
(everything else under 10%)
Network Usage - Total in all time:
0 - 100%
Dialer ~40%
Android System ~50%
(everything else under 20%)
So now my question is, what is the "0" that shows up at 100% in my network usage? No matter what I change, I can't seem to get rid of that "0".
I'm on:
HBoot 2.10.0001
Radio 2.15.00.11.19 (I've tried 09.01 also)
Newest WiMax, PRI, and NV.
AmonRa Recovery v1.8.0
Multiple wipes on everything, nothing works.
The problem started about a week ago, and I simply can't figure it out. I've changed everything I could think of. I was originally on Radio 09.01, and I updated, but this was after the problem started. I also updated my HBoot from 0.97 after the problem started. Nothing seems to be working.
Note: I've also tried airplane mode, this does not help.
Solved using Calkulin's wipe method

I'm getting pretty good results from my setup.
1. Myn's Warm rom rls4
2. New kernel- I just downloaded last night but the battery stayed on 100% for quite a while. Here's the link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876590&highlight=calkulin's
3.Riptide9's ColorNclear theme with several of the addons, speedo batt, blue dialer, launcher pro (the update for warm2.2 themed).
I myself have tried probably every rom out there that has working 4g, I dont see owning an evo and not having 4g, and found this one to be the best. You do have to do an update to the wireless tether, can be done through the app itself. Hit me up if you need assistance. If it is the batt life you're primarily concerned with, this kernel is supposed to be awesome. Check it out, mine is overclocked to 1152000 and it still stayed at 100% for a good amount of time after being taken off charge. If you try it and like it let me know. I like to know that I was able to help someone.

Try removing your SD card and see if it still has that issue.

I suppose I should have mentioned why I need a fix so badly...
I'm only getting ~4 hours of battery life. I go into work at 6:30am and when I leave for lunch at 11:30, my phone is dead (with absolutely no use).
I need to figure out what this "0" is in "Network usage" because that's what is keeping my phone awake 100% of the time. Like I said though, even Airplane mode doesn't fix it (I don't see why something is using my network in airplane mode).
I tried removing the SD-card, that didn't help.
I've already tried the kernel that you linked to, that didn't make a difference... Same issue, my battery just drops.
If I'm doing something, I can literally just watch it drop in front of my eyes. If I'm using the phone (browsing the web, checking email, etc...) it drops one percent about every 20-25 seconds (I get something like 40-45 minutes if I'm using the phone before it dies).

maybe you have a faulty batt. I dont know.

Have you tried completely starting from square one?
titanium backup, then wipe everything, wipe again, and flash the stock rooted rom (or maybe even the OTA and re-root later).
After flashing, reboot your phone but dont restore your backup yet. See what happens, then slowly restore apks and files, etc, one at a time and see how the battery acts.
I don't know what the "0" means, sorry. But maybe this will help you figure out what is causing the problem.

You need to do caulks format all as it will wipe everything that the recovery misses. Hope that helps

Excellent, I got it working!
Performing Calk's wipe, and doing a fresh install seems to have it working again. I was thrilled to see that I wasn't at 100% after setting my phone down for 20 minutes to let it sleep.
I've been installing apps one by one hoping that something doesn't break it again.
I still have no idea what was causing the problem, but it's fixed now. Thank you for the help everyone, especially Craigbailey for the advice and Calkulin for the fix.

So I'm having this exact same problem (100% time running), but Calkulin's format all did not work for me. I ran it, flashed a brand new ROM, and I was still at 100% run time. I did nothing other than sign in to google, and download spare parts to check my run time.
Any other suggestions?

First remove the battery let it sit for 5 minutes outside of the phone... At the same time remove the sd card and put it back in... Then after waiting 5 minutes put the battery back in. Then do the format and all should be good... I too had this problem with original senseui rom that was rooted and solved this problem through sprint and thats what they told me to do and it worked... Oh and also try setcpu and a screen off profile with the right kernels should extend your evo battery to 30 hours or more depending on phone usage! I have cm7 nightly with savage zen bfs kernel and with setcpu I'm getting 30 hours on a regular batstat says 37 hours has been my max awake time... So doing pretty good with that give it a try and with cyanogen you should try performance tweaks to underclock your rom.

After finally flashing my phone with EVIo Cailukin's Rom I have endured some problems and I've search for them and coudln't find anything. I rooted my phone with the latest UnrEVOked program. Noticed this morning my phone was running 100%...
upon other problems, my phone internet speed is lagging. and my battery is really hot!

I tried the removing the battery thing, and I'm still getting 100% run time, with a nandroid restored rom, and 2 different newly installed roms. I am so confused now. Anyone have any suggestions?
UPDATE: Looks like my phone is not at 100% run time anymore. All I did was redo Calkulin's format_all, flash a new ROM, and then reflash the new radios and PRI, and now my phone is not 100% running anymore.
Yay!

CPU usage through the roof, may be causing the reboots, any ideas?

So I hve been going nuts trying to figure out why my phone keeps rebooting. I'm in another country so getting a replacement isn't an option for me and it seems it hasn't helped some people anyways (After a while it comes back).
THe only constant I see is that the CPU usage after maybe 30 seconds after the phone comes on stays at 95-100% all the time. Only thing that makes sense is that the phone is shutting itself down before it melts down.
This kinda makes sense since it seems the more I try to do the more random the reboots become.....and battery life is beyond horrible. I did the steps to increase battery life and battery life is making this phone virtually unusable off AC power (EXample: Leaving from my Brother in laws apartment and travelling 10 floors down to my car results in 89% battery left. Phone is dead within the hour if i use it and 3 or 4 if leave it idling.
I tried killing all the tasks that te phone starts up with but nothing change the CPU usage. I thought maybe it was the kernel but I flashed the latest one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...RI+version+PRL [the undervolted version]. Not sure if that would help (THe info in this forums is so scattered and disorganized it makes my head spin.....and I'm a techie).
Also try flashing the combo package of the latest radio, PRI, NV etc and that doesn't work also....CPU usage is still through the roof.
I just got this a few days ago. I'm currently on:
HBoot 2.10 [s-off]
H/W 0004
Basband 2.15.00.11.19 [I was on this before I was rooted]
Kernel version 2.6.32.27-SBC-net-4.2.2-less-havs [email protected] #19 [Just flashed] ROM myn's Warm TwoPointTwo 9RLS 4)
Software: 3.3-.651.3
PRI Version: 1.90_0003
PRL Version: 60662
Can I get some help from people smarter then me. I'm at the end of my rope and I'm not convinced a handset swap is going to fix my issue esp. since this was BNIB straight from Sprint and other people who've had this issue and had a new phone seem to somehow have it later.
If i leave it alone it will reboot on its own eventually. If i switch from airport to turning on the cell data, reboot, turning on wifi......reboot, toggling 4g.......reboot, After a few web page searches......reboot, open up an application.....reboot.
This isn't temperature related as far as I can tell.....The app I have monitoring temp has seen this happen at 25 degrees and sometimes less.
PLEASE HELP

Ok.. firs tthings first..
when your phone is unstable and rebooting, dont use an undervolt kernel. Undervolt kernels provide less power to the CPU at set frequencies.
In my case, I discovered undervolting CAUSED reboots, because my phone couldnt handle anything under 950mv... there is such a range in the quality of the components that theres no way to always say yes, undervolting this much will work with every phone.
so 1: Use stock kernel ( for whatever rom your using.. also use a well established rom, not one of the 'hey, last night i got bored and made this' ones.. it may work, but it may be so buggy its what is causing your crash )
2: do a fresh install. run the phone with 0 apps added, see if it has the same issue. If it does, may be the phone itself. If it doesnt, its one of your apps.. install one at a time, and see if it improves.

and you made two posts why?

Didn't know they would move it. Posted in the wrong forum and they moved it as well. lOL. My bad.
I've been on a stock kernel up until I started trying different kernels. I will try the other one then.
My CPU usage is the problem I think. I have both memoryusage and system monitor and both report the same thing.....95-100% usage constantly. If I could resolve that then maybe my phone would work properly.

EVO keeps freezing / rebooting

Hi guys,
Hoping you all can help me. I installed Vipermod and undervolted 50mV. Running MIUI 1.7.22 with Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC. Also have SetCPU runnings with various profiles. Whenever I turn my phone on it'll work for a little bit and then freeze or restart itself. Should I just nand backup to without the vipermod, or is there a way for me to edit a script with the settings to remove the undervolt setting. I'm afraid of running a nand backup and the phone freezing in the middle. Thanks, appreciate any help.

As long as you have a full charge, a nand restore is usually a pretty fool proof way to fix any problems.
That vipermod is something most kernel devs don't mess with because of exactly what you are saying. There is some benefit if you can get it to work flawlessly, but it's hard to get it to do that.
I recommend a complete wipe, then restore your last nand. Again, just make sure you have plenty of battery whenever you restore a nand backup. The only thing that can really completely brick your phone is if it dies in the middle of doing something like that.

Here's Viperboys BSM_PSM_reset script, flash this in recovery if you get stuck in a bootloop.
Also, if you have the updated setCPU, goto the main screen and press menu, you'll see an option to download their "safe mode" zip file which you also flash in recovery
The BSM_PSM_RESET zip restores your kernel to its default settings, the setCPU zip you download restores setCPU to default settings as well

I believe this is heat related!!! I am getting intermittent, but daily reboots and every time the phone feels hot. Usually I get the reboots whenever the phone is working hard, playing a game or using google maps. I always wipe EVERYTHING when flashing roms and the last two day I decided to do some fresh installs of AOSP and quality Sense roms(all GB) and I didn't load any new apps after install. Guess what!?!?! Still getting reboots and the phone is hot when it reboots. I then pull the battery cover and put it on a cool spot or in front of the AC and it boots and runs great as long as it is being cooled. I've been a huge HTC and Android supporter since day one, but at 13 months old I shouldn't have to deal with this especially when I baby the phone. I hate to say it but I may have to switch to the evil empire. Their phones just work and keep working, oh and their battery last all day, maybe two days on one a single charge.
If you read this post because you are having the issue please make note if the phone is hot when it reboots. Allot of people believe this is software related, I on the other hand believe it is heat and hardware related. Unfortunately I refuse to lose root and go return mine... UGH!!!

No offense, really, but I do NOT understand SetCPU. People use it to overclock, for what reason?? Are you planning on Playing COD BO on your phone?? Or do rocket science?

[Q] Normal Stability?

Hello all. Ever since I got my EVO, I've been experiencing random restarts, even before I was rooted. Right now, I am running CM7.1 and Tiamat from kernel manager, and I probably have to do about 8 restarts and 5 battery pulls a day, no matter how often I use the phone. For instance, today I woke up and had to do a battery pull because the screen would not turn on. The light was also still orange despite the battery being fully charged. I unplugged it at about 8 in the morning and by 10 with no use, I had to pull the battery again because the screen was frozen off once again. Once I got it back on, the battery was down to 80%. I tried using it and half the apps would force close immediately, so I restarted... You get the picture. Some roms have been better than others, and kernels don't seem to make any difference, and I figured it was about normal. Then, I installed what is supposed to be a really buggy CM7 on my touchpad, and have only had to restart it once in the past 2 days, which makes me question how stable my phone actually should be. Does it seem like I should take it in to sprint, or is my experience about normal?
I also never overclock because of my already poor battery life and have tried underclocking, but don't see any noticible difference

bump. should I post somewhere else?

Run an RUU but stay s-off for the moment and see if the problem persists. If your phone begins working properly, then you can flash a recovery and flash whatever rom you want - but don't restore your backup. I'd start totally fresh if RUUing fixes your problems, don't restore your apps and data, just download them from the Market as you need them.
If the RUU doesn't help and the problem continues, take it in to Sprint. It's up to you if you want to s-on before taking it in - I've never heard of anyone getting problems from Sprint with s-off but without root, but I think it's a general rule to do so.
I hope everything works out for you!

I have heard and seen on here many times that random reboots are caused by battery problems, and bad software installs. Try calibrating the battery, also use battery monitor widget to see what ur batt temps are. Then reinstall all your apps, do not restore them then see if that helps.

I'll try an RUU when I get enough time to do some thorough testing. I have reinstalled everything directly from the market multiple times since I've had the phone, and also have used a total of four batteries with no change in behavior. I Will try the RUU soon though. Thanks for the replies

Sleep of death

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.
