[Q] Touchscreen Acting Weird - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This could be a kernel/rom combination issue but I have noticed lately that my touchscreen starts acting up. I was running Myns rom with Nets kernel and decided to give SBC a try. Wiped, flashed, booted and everything thing appeared fine but once I unlocked the screen, it became unresponsive and actually started opening icons on my homescreen that I wasnt even trying to press. Now its possible its hardware issue (i hope not) but it seems to only do it on certain occasions. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
Thanks.

are you on rsl4 myn? or the rsl5 beta ( for the rom? )
I have tired both Ms79737 and netarchys kernels with out issues. Also what is your PRI? and what versiion ROM are you on? a 1.90 PRI can cause issues ( like lag that can affect the screen ) with a 3.30 rom. 3.30 roms need the 1.77 PRI. 1.90 PRI needed a 3.70 rom.

Running PRI 1.77 and Myns RSL4. I sure hope it isnt my phone. Im gonna try flashing back to Nets kernel and see if the issue goes away.
Its really strange. I can sometimes fix the issue by turning the screen off and back on.

One thing could be a too aggressive HAVS kernel. Which one were you running?

I experience it occasionally, when I swype it leaves jagged lines too, a reboot fixes it

Yeah, I was running the more aggressive version. I'll try the less aggressive and see what happens. It's definitely a kernel issue cause I have been running the Rom as stock and have not had an issue.

Flashed the less aggressive havs. Seems to be working just fine. Ill keep testing and let you know if it happens again. Otherwise Ill just keep using the less havs kernels. Thanks again guys.

I do have a rebooting issue. My phone will just randomly reboots and gets stuck in a rebooting cycle where it keeps rebooting when its at the boot screen or as soon as it boots upand I just have to pull the battery to fix it. It's not related to the new OTA or PRI for me. I've had this problem before and after root, tried different rom's, radio's, pri's etc., replaced my sdcard. I've tried many different things and can't figure it out. I've read on other forums that others are having the same problem and both Sprint and HTC know that many are having problems. Supposedly HTC is working on a fix, but can't determine what the cause is yet. The only thing I can think of is it's related to a heat issue, but have no idea.

Might be a hardware issue
No issues here either, i'm rooted with Fresh ROM. Sucks to hear though!
I've had them both happen intially on the 1st day but its fine now. Not sure why it did.
It overheated to 50c+. Still even at the norm, its 4c higher than the 3.26 roms which averaged at 37c, This ROM varies from 40c-42c.
Only using Celsius because I look at the (deactivated) Wifi Tether's temp gauge.
Sprint sent me out another EVO and battery.. Said it might be an issue with hardware rev 003 but hell if i know...
i had this happen twice yesterday, only when i was forcing roam though.
When my phone's temperature hits 46 Celcius it will reboot. Got to let it cool down before it work stay on. This is just surfing the internet on warm/hot summer days. Very disappointed, I am.

[Q] [Custom Kernel Issues New Evo]

Just got my Evo replaced. I had an early 002 version that OC'd to 1228 24/7, ran great, only 3 point touch. I could run each and every kernel released without problems. My USB Charging jack busted and phone wouldn't charge so sprint replaced it. Rev 003 of course. My problem is that every custom kernel i try , i get re-boots, even at stock clocks. Well not full reboots, like a sense reboot. I can use set CPU with all my same profiles, set at 998 max with the stock kernels, and have absolutely no problems. Same CPU settings, or even removing set cpu all together i get the reboots with Kings and Netarchies kernels. I haven't tried them all, but a lot of them. No pattern to the reboots, just randomly happens. Any ideas? Has anybody heard of others with this problem? I can OC to 1192 and it doesn't increase the frequency of the reboots. It doesn't feel like the same stability issues i've experienced with previous high Overclocks. My 002 felt bulletproof when it came to tweaking. i hate that i broke it. This 003 feels fragile
I don't care.

It happens when not overclocked. at stock settings with custom kernel. I know its a lot of rambling, but i think it is all pertinent information. But i have not tried CM6 with the new EVO. Didnt really care for it, but willing to try it for diagnostic purposes. Maybe it'll win me over this time.

i don't use sense based roms or kernels, but i assume this may hold true for them as well.
I've had a couple times where i flashed a kernel that afterwards prevented flashing other kernels. i was unable to successfully flash any kernel (even known good versions...ie: the same .zip i had used in the past).
once i did a full wipe and that fixed it.
the other time i restored a nandroid and after that i could flash as expected.
good luck.

Thanks for input. I've actually done all of that multiple times Even complete un root re-root. Since i couldnt use any custom kernel at all, my 2 week old evo suddenly had a bad usb port so sad. I got my new one today and i've been at 1267 for the past 2 hours.. Awesome!
Ya i have frequent and random reboots running Ava v9 with kings 10 cfs. Plz help. Any fix?

[Q] Laggin, Freezing, and Making me mad!

Ok, I'm finally reporting this Uber annoying problem.
My phone will just lock up for anywhere between 2 and 15 seconds. I thought this was maybe a bad backup from titanium, so I stopped using it. I cleared my SD card, I've tried multiple roms, I'm formatted everything including SYSTEM during each different ROM install.
It seems the issue happens after I use SMSBACKUP+ to restore my txt messages. *EDIT But I've had it happen without installing SMSBACKUP+ EDIT* Handcent has been force closing on me for weeks as well. I just removed Handcent, and installed ChompSMS. The problem is still happening.
It happens very randomly, and without any cause that I can tell. I'll hit the power button, and unlock the screen, and then the touchscreen is completely unresponsive for seconds at a time. The touch buttons (home,back,etc) are also unresponsive. Then all the sudden, the phone will try to catch up to every one of my touchs.
Also, whatever it is is killing my battery. Yesterday I installed MikFroyo, and the phone was good for over 12-15 hours. Then I charged it, and something in the past 2 hours caused the issue and completely drained my battery in those 2 hours.
I've had this problem with
FreshEVO (multiple versions)
SprintLovers
Burnt Droid (multiple versions)
Ava-Froyo
OMJ's EVO
BakedSnack
I've also tried ASOP mods like MIUI and Cyanongen Mod, and as far as I can remember, the problem didn't happen with them, but I really would like to have my 4g work.
I just want my phone back!!!!
Well I don't know what your problem is exactly, smsbackup seems to be a culprit. You can check spare parts for wake lock issues. Are you using an SBC kernel?
I reccomend CM7, and you can use CM7 w/ WiMax [based on build 24] <- can be found in the development section.
First backup your apps and data. Then flash calkulins format all, then flash your rom and start from there it should work

I've used every kernel I could get my hands on, thinking it was the problem. I've been using stock kernels for the past 2 months now with the same problems.
I just haven't heard anything else bad about SMSBACKUP+, but I have read some issues with locking up, freezing etc regarding SMS in general.

Do you use 4g a lot? Do you reboot the phone after turning 4g off? The reason I ask, is because there is a bug with 4g, on any ROM, rooted or not. After you turn the 4g radio off, it will continuously scan, and it errors out. Download the app "aLogcat" from the market. Turn 4g on. Turn on the logcat, so it starts reading. Shut your 4g off, and go back to the logcat app. Watch all the red Wimax errors pop up. Endlessly. This causes a wake lock on the phone, so it doesn't sleep. Up time and awake time will remain the same, after turning 4g off. The only way to stop the wake lock is to reboot the phone.
Also, I have never really had that cause lock ups or freezes, it just drains the battery three times as fast when those wimax errors are occuring. Just something to check, wish I had more to suggest/offer for ya.
Here is a link with some info and other links on the issue.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11008
Some people say that it doesn't drain your battery, but I found that to be inaccurate. It certainly does for me, and the phone never sleeps when it happens. So even if that isn't what your main issue is, it's good to know about anyways, if you didn't already.
EDIT: Also, what PRI version and Radio/baseband version do you currently have? The latest? 1.90 PRI and 2.15.00.11.19? If you are on the 1.90 PRI, try downgrading it to the 1.77. The 1.90 PRI is definitely known to cause issues that you speak of on some phones. Just anothing thing to double check. Here is an attatchment of the 1.77 PRI. It sounds like you don't have anything to lose by trying. Everyone's phone acts differently with different software and what not.

Nope... Complete stock roms, with little to no apps. I can only think to point at bad hardware, the base sms operation, smsbackup+, handcent, or titanium backup. All of which I'd had issues without one or the other installed.

You know what... I think you're on to something. Because an hour before this started happening today, I turned 4G on to see if I had service where I was, (I did not), but I did not reboot the phone. I'm going to play around with that idea before installing any other apps on my freshly installed mikfroyo.

I've tried every different radio combination. Just recently (last week) I've downgraded to Radio 1.36.00.04.02 and PRI 1.34_003.
It's currently looping the Wimax errors... I'm thinking that might build up in an hour or two and cease the phone. We'll see.

Dang!! That's an old radio / pri combo! I've never rolled back that far, so can't say much about it, but are you sure that's not contributing to the issue? Maybe it doesn't like the 3.70 build.

[Q] Screen often twitches and freezes..

Im currently running calkulins evio 2 rom v1.8
(however this is not a rom specific issue for me)
2.2
2.15.00.11.19
htc kernel #15
3.70.651.1
1.90_003
While using the phone sometimes in texting, when swyping words, in the browser, in apps, or otherwise.. the screen just.. with lack of better words, "WIGS OUT"
it twitches as if there were 5 other fingers or someone else tapping the screen near the top and the screen twitches and halfway slides, then will just become unresponsive.
To fix it I have to just turn off the screen, then turn it right back on and unlock the phone and its back to normal.
it happens, probably 1 out of every 5 times I unlock the screen and start sending a text. its really starting to rack up though since I use my phone all the time.
I can provide a lot of information,, but,. any ideas so far?
thanks for your consideration.
That happens rarely to me on CM7. Are you overclocking at all? Perhaps re-flash the rom?
since im on calkulins rom im actually underclocking right now.
im not using any governors including setcpu or battery savers, because the script and profiles are built into the rom.
That being said,
Today alone, I have ran EviO 1.8, MIUI 1.24, and warm TwoPointTwo
and this problem has transcended each change of rom...
...
that means its a hardware issue.. right?
:/
How long have you been on the roms? They can be laggy the first 2 days or so. Are you using the pre-installed kernel?
when it first started happening i was on warmtwopoint two and had been on it for probably 2 weeks. the other roms it happens the whole time, from the beginning.
its been going on for almost 3 weeks now.
when on warmtwopoint two i think i was using the preinstalled kernel.
on miui i was using netarchy #11
and the preinstalled htc #15 kernel included in calkulins.

[Q] Updated Radio, Now Android OS is Draining Battery BAD

Ok guys, here's the thing. First My Phone Specs:
Android 2.2 Baseband 2.15.00.05.02 Kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e
Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1 Software 3.29.651.5 PRI 2.15_003 PRL 01115
Previous PRI was 1.70 don't remember the rest Sorry
I updated last night to the Radio that comes out on the NEW 2.3 update. The only reason I updated it, was because both my siblings Evos (stock unrooted 2.3 update) have better reception than mine, and I actually have NO signal at my sisters house, yet hers is Perfect. I updated the radio off of ROM manager (a first) only because other evo owners said it was a good update.
Since then, I unplugged the phone at 7am, went to school, played music for like 13 mins, sat in class (low/bad signal - Nothing New always like that), and by 9:40am I had 50% battery. NO USAGE AT ALL. Main consumption was Android OS which didn't even exist in the battery info page prior to the update (I had and still have Android system, and both appear there) at 40% of the battery usage, then the normal ones.
Phone was dead by 11:50am
Although the signal is poor, Mon-Wed same schedule, class, and usage (NONE), I had 89-85% at 9:40am.
I click on Android OS, and I get NO information at all. It was never there before, and now I have Android OS consuming all the battery, and the Normal Android System at about 10-13% normal.
The weird thing is, it's 2h33m17s since unplugged, and Android OS is at 2h11m12s 31% Data sent 11.43 KB Data Received 903.75 KB and my battery is already at 53%. At this rate I'll have to charge it 3 times today, with NO USAGE. Android System is only at 13m.
I have restarted it several times, didn't work.
What do you guys suggest?
If I were to do the OTA Update would that fix it, if it has something to do with the radio update I did?
I know there isn't a root for 2.3 yet, but I'd rather wait with a phone that's actually usable.
I know the update removes Root access and Roms and all, BUT doesn't it also overwrite any Flashed Radios?
Sorry for the Long Post, but I just wanted to explain as much as I could to help you guys Help Me.
Thanks in advance for the Help Guys
Have you checked running services/apps that may be hogging alot of resources such as CPU and/or data? I am rooted so i dont have all those damn services running on CM7 but when i wasnt rooted, I would always end the BS that didnt need to run. Always left background data off unless i went to the market and auto sync always off too. If you dont have anything that appears to be hogging resources, just backup your apps with titanium backup and factory restore. I've have had a few problems that the factory restore just took care of. And doesnt take that long really. 15 mins tops and everything was back to normal. Just make sure you know your gmail account. Almost forgot mine the first time. lol Let us know

I did check it, but it was all the normal things like Tasker, Lookout, and some normal one.
The weird thing is, why did it all of a sudden happen after the flashed radios, and why did the Android OS all of a sudden appear out of nowhere?
I really thinking of just doing OTA update if I have to go the Factory reset way. I know it will kill my root, but Unrevoked should almost be out with a solution.
Just thought it was really weird how it happened after the radio combo flash. I would also just like to solve it and stay on my current ROM for now. Whatever solves it you know.
Why not just downgrade your radios?
Also I would flash the radios from recovery or get the PC36IMG.zip you can flash from your bootloader I don't trust ROM manager I use to use it but had nothing but problems also you should change recoverys to ra Amon 2.3 some PPL have problems with cwm I did and never looked back .

I had thought about that, but usually stay away from radios, since most problems arise from this. Hence THIS Post
I always used cwm, but have heard about certain problems which I haven't had luckily. I am on the older version though, which is recommended for radio flashes.

That was what I was really wondering. I thought it something to do with me being on Froyo instead of GB. Although the radio combos are out there, non of them said this, but it makes sense though.
My phone's almost dead again, and getting frustrated.
I'm really thinking about doing OTA, or maybe just trying Fresh's Beta ROM (GB) from the leak, then upgrading to the updated OTA one, once it is out.
What do you think about that?
Of course I would wipe everything before the ROM flash to avoid complications.
Thanks for your help
Go on xda or get the app there is already a rooted version of the ota if thats what your looking for there are way more ROMs on that site then on ROM manager .

Funny, I have the same issue. I'm rooted and was running Warm 2.2, upgraded to Synergy and was running great for 4-5 days on the nightly roms. 4G would connect then disconnect right away so I ran Calkulin's radio zip and upgraded all of them, 4G works!!! This was on Monday. Wednesday night phone was on my lap watching TV and it got real warm, I looked at it and I was at 15%, started at 63% when I sat down 25 minutes ago. I run Battery monitor pro and before I had this problem the mHa would sit around 100-200 depending on what was being done, not I can't get it below 400mHa. Even after I flashed the radios it was working fine for 2 days, then all of a sudden it's warm and my batter won't last, no other programs were installed.
I'm on mikg v1.03 and everything is working awesome for me.

I noticed the same battery draining issues. I think it was after the GB radio flash and not before.
I then checked some stuff and saw data in background running as well as Sync.
These were disabled before the flash but seemed to get enabled again.
Draining issue seems to have resolved itself. But I will keep an eye on it to make sure.

How is it in battery life, smoothness, wifi, and all other things?
Also, I don't need to flash a separate kernel right?
I'd rather not, and usually ONLY flash ROMs.

I'd rather not, and usually ONLY flash ROMs.
Thanks Guys

The battery is pretty good for a stock kernel I get about 9 hours of heavy use and everything is running smooth for me make sure you wipe everything and you should be good.
And no you don't need to flash a kernel it come with the right one its stock till they release the source code for it then the dev can give us some sbc, havs etc...

Just installed mikg v1.03 after a good wipe and it's still getting warm and draining fast. Only have Batter monitor pro installed and 2 hours after install it's using ~600ma. I'll let it sit over night and see how it does. If that doesn't work I'm gonna download the other radios and see what works best.
Any last recommendations before I unroot and flash back to stock? I tried all different radios last night with no success, I have never seen this before in on this phone and I have been flashing for over 8 months with it, I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue as it happend all of a sudden.

It's freaking Awesome man, looks Wise its WOW. Pretty Smooth, and Best of All, My Battery Problems are GONE. Yes, GONE.
I'll stick with this kernel, and No themes for now, the Sense is enough for my taste at the moment. Including the on off tv animation
Question though, I've been getting FCs on my Voicemail and some Google process (forgot to wirte it down). Do you know anything about that by any chance?
Thanks

Everything got solved with Mik ROM for me. Have you tried any GB ROMs, and do you have the same radios as me.
Thanks Guys

For the fc you can try wiping cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions for the permissions I use ra recovery its under other its called fix uid mismatch or something like that.
Hope that helps you.

I've never used Amon RA, but I guess I'll finally have to do the switch.
Can I get the Alternate Recover Amon RA that is on ROM Manager?
I've never wiped Davlik or cache when Im not doing a wipe, does it have any
negatives to doing that since Im not doing anything else? (very noobish Q, I know)
Thanks

Yes you can flash ra from ROM manager thats what I did I was just like you at one point dependent on rm but get the xda app and learn how to use it you will love this site.
And no wiping cache and dalvik cache won't hurt anything you can do this over and over with no problems and you would be surprised what that can fix also fixing permissions .
You will learn downloading ROMs from this site and flashing from ra recovery will give you better results just read the ROM install instruction and you will good to go.
I also have VR supper wipe zip. Thats what I flash before I install a new ROM and I never have any problems I'll try to find you a link if you want it .
If you ever need help PM me I'm not a dev but I'm on here allot and have flashed allot of ROMs and mods I try to give back to xda by helping PPL out .
I hope I helped you in some way.
