It's a few to list.
1)Light leakage from almost the entire bottom of the phone alligned with the 4keys. The search key also have light leakage.
2)Charging port about to go out. If I'm transfering stuff to my computer or usb tethering it I softly bump my phone it disconnects then reconnect and ask the four usb options. I stopped using my usb and use the external charger.
3)Forced to use Verizon roaming lol my data speeds were always over 1mbps but later went to .2-.56 max even around 3am when data should be tops. Verison i get great speed but don't signal drops a lot.
4) Today my phone randomly shut off on a 80-86% battery no led showed up on when I put the charger in. I tried my OEM battery and my Extended battery and still a no go had to let the phone sit for like 10 minutes then try again. This isn't the first time my phone has done this and I wasn't even using it pick it up to send a text realized it was off.
That's the main prob should I call sprint or asurion. Sprint tries to give me a hard time like when i called in for my blackberry and my first evo that had software issues before I rooted they keep repeating if we don't find something wrong with your phone your going to be charged and would you believe they charged me :-( $100 for a phone that I didn't root and had problems with they did credit me like $50 back after me complaining. That's why I'm kinda trying to make up my mind about sending my phones back. I guess its cause I'm young lol jk but what should I do and I'm tired of that blackberry the phone can be off the charger for 3 hours and die with network off horrible battery they even gave me a new battery and the thing dies faster than me evo before rooting. They keep telling me the same thing over and over check your settings and talking about it might be the battery knowing they just gave me a brand new battery and the freaking phone heats up. What would you do in this case?
Strap a fake bomb to your chest and go into the Sprint store demanding a new phone.
Worked for me last time.

ok guys i'm lost, my wife evo rooted w/ s-off, its been rebooting alot today. she's on baked snacks 1.8. I just moved her files to the sdcard and uninstalled the hack adobe player for hulu and put the original on. I then rebooted the phone and now it shows the HTC EVO white screen, it then vibrates quickly 5 times, go to a black screen and w/ a green flash. I then went into recovery and clear the data, reboot but still 5 vibrate and nothing. I tried going into recovery again to do a nandroid, but it doesn't go into there either.
i think that might mean overheat. take out battery and put both under a fan for a while.

lol surprisingly no but I was bracing myself. I see you found my other post. I had to show her that I was doing everything possible to find an answer It's been 7 hrs since this problem happen, I had her fully charge the phone last night and left it unplug (battery was still in) same thing is happening this morning.
I just took the battery out, I will leave it out for awhile, don't think that would do anything, but I will try anything.
Anyone know if this will be covered by the sprint insurance? my concern as well is that the phone has S-Off
This happened to my wife's evo while I was playing angry birds gonna bring it to the store tomorrow.

Wondering what's going on with peoples Evo lately... Mine stopped working for 3 hours then came back on.... I went to sleep this morning and left it on the USB charger...Woke up and noticed that my supersonic was off and went through the normal routine of trying to get it back on..(battery pull, tried booting into recovery, pulled SD card, tried different charger) all to no avail.... Get to the store and the tech tells me my battery is deformed (even told me to feel the buldge, which I did not feel). Their solution was for me to by a new battery...they wouldn't replace and im covered with the TEP....just as I was about to purchase the extended battery cause they didnt have the stock battery, I push the power button and my phone boots... Walked out the store baffled but the phone has been working ever since...
I been reading similar stories and my simple question is what the hell is going on...

Probably something with the kernel, that seems to be the common denominator so far.
Almost all of us hack our phones in some way: rooting, flashing roms, flashing kernels, adding programs (like hulu, wireless tether), etc etc. Since our battery life sucks anyway, many of us charge our phones multiple times per day. Li-Ion batteries aren't exactly known for their stability. If you Google it, you'll find that they've been acting funny and blowing up for nearly a decade (the oldest news story I could find dated back to 2002).
Since we run our phones really hard, sometimes the battery bugs out for a little while, or dies completely. It was recently blamed on SBC kernels, but we're talking a very small percentage of users experiencing problems. However, it's the nature of the beast that sometimes the phone just has a mild heart attack and comas out for a bit. I would still replace the battery or at least take it easy on flashing things for a little while.
As our phone grows older, we have more and more options on what to do with it...and that's just super but over-flash too much and one line of code doesn't make it and boom, your phone doesn't turn on for 3 hours. Software is a fickle *****, so have fun but be cautious. Always check your logcats and battery monitors.
Thanks for this very logical explanation... Ordered new battery just in case....and will take heed to your recommendations..

Just saw you said your battery was deformed... yeah, that's why you don't use kernels with sbc. It's pretty stupid to honestly.
Check out a video on youtube of what they can do when overcharged.
And definitely get rid of that battery. That's not something you want to be using.

maybe you should enlighten him that batteries aren't perfect nor are they any where near invincible, they come and go, just like cars, just like power supplies, just like anything. Relax with the NAZI, "SBC OMGGGGGGGG" that's all, it's every thread and it's all opinionated. And no, I'm not going to argue with 4.2 charge full dangerous 4.3 read this site, then dip your oreo while doing a kickflip, no, just relax with the opinions that's all...
my phone literally just died on my desk
for absolutely no reason
the battery is charged, so that's not it I was using it less than 30 minutes ago and just picked it up to watch a video... nothing... did a battery pull... nothing
out of deperation I tried using one of the USB jigs that I have used in the past on older galaxy s to get into download mode and it worked
now to try to find a stock odin flashable image, even though i'm debating on just returning this phone... just dying like that in one week is unacceptable and reminds me of the issues the G2x had

damn it.. if this is ANOTHER G2x-like fiasco.. I'm gonna return this and say goodbye to Tmo... it's their retarded request that the hardware be changed for their network instead of having the normal exynos CPU
didn't hear of any issues like this for the original SGS2 international/AT&T versions

I dont think its that serious. I think its a software bug with the battery meter freezing without knowledge of it. When it freezes without indication, we end up continuously using the phone till the battery completely discharges without knowing.

i replied in your other thread... I was able to reflash the kernel and the phone booted right away without having to wait for a charge like it would have if the battery was completely drained
Finally took the plunge and flashed Calk's ROM on Thursday. I had rooted when I first got the phone a few months ago but was hesitant to flash a ROM. I used to flash different ROMs all the time on my Evo but for some reason, I just haven't on the E4GT.
First off, I have to say that I absolutely LOVE Calk's ROM. The main thing I want out of a ROM is speed and battery life. This one does both flawlessly. I touch an app and bam it's there. My battery life has almost doubled since flashing it also. The little extras like percentage battery mod and the screen-off CRT animation is just icing on an already delicious cake. So thank you Calk for making an amazing ROM!
As for the modem, I used to get at least 5-10 LoS a day before I switched. Even with the LoS daemon, it would still reboot at least 4 times a day. The daemon at least helped most of the time by resetting the radio back into a usable state, but it was mildly irritating.
So far, since Thursday, I have not had a single LoS. Ironically enough, the most LoS used to happen at my Sprint store where I work.
LOS 5-10 times a day I would have done returned the phone I tell ya what.
Good to hear.. Would you mind doing a quick test for me with 4g? It's to test incoming push messages when the radio is off.
So, when 4g goes to sleep(ZZZ), can yous end yourself an email and see if it wakes up and gets the email?

I work for Sprint, so I'm used to problems. I'm not irritated like most people are by device issues. I tend to put up with it until a fix is found instead of complaining and threatening.

Not in 4G coverage, though I was last night. If I go into town within the week, I'll certainly test it for you.

Thanks. I'm supposed to visit a Sprint store tonight, this issue has me sticking to 3g 100% of the time now and I tested it with two phones both on the leaked EK02 modems.

With 4g on and good service. The test is for push notifications(gmail for example).
So, let the phone sit for a couple of minutes until the 4g is idle(ZZZ state). Just let it sit for a minute or two make sure it is in idle for a bit.
When in idle send yourself an email, usually they come through in seconds. Let me know if this happens or if the phone continues in ZZZ with no email coming through.
took like a min or 2 to get the email so not to bad

Yea, mine will stay in sleep mode and not receive anything until Either I or an app requests internet access. I guess it's good news that it isn't happening with the new modem. Still sucks that it's happening to me.
i ordered a verizon nexus off ebay for a decent price. physically it looked great but the battery life has been pretty bad. overnight i can get it down to 3% an hour discharge just sitting there, but when i actually use it i'm lucky to get an hour and a half screen on time. and that's using an underclocked kernal.
also, it seems that no matter what rom or kernal i use i get a freeze once a day where i have to pull the battery. not an SOD but the screen is on and frozen and the phone is totally unresponsive. stock or custom rom, stock or custom kernal.
did i get hosed with this phone?
PS i ordered a new samsung battery just in case but it didn't help
We need more information. Sound like user error?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
how in the world did you come to that conclusion? and what other information would you like? this isn't even close to my first android phone
ok more info.. LTE off. bluetooth off. wifi off. screen on auto (i know the auto isnt' the best but i need to be able to see the screen when i'm out in the sun) couple of phone calls, couple of texts. checked FB a few times. if i'm using the phone for 5 minutes i can watch the battery go down 2 ticks.
also some times when i wake the phone up it lags like mad until i turn off the screen and turn it back on. raised the minimum CPU speed but it still does it. also the phone does go into deep sleep and doesn't seem to wake itself often
ok my phone just froze in recovery too. something is not right here
My guess is main board. My first GNex had little flaws that I thought were just software/New technology problems - NFC tags were often hard to register, reboots at random, power button taking a few tries to activate from time to time, device freezing at odd times. Then one day it just wouldn't turn on. Still under warranty, got it replaced, and now realize how defective it was.

i guess since i'm not the original owner i'm probably out of luck. guess i'll contact the seller and see what happens
i think i kno whats causing the lag ! i cant really say but battery life ! to get rid of the lag install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5rb3ZpdC5wLmZvcmV2ZXJnb25lIl0.
let it fill ur sd card and when its about 90% or so done ! stop the filling and do "release free space" then reboot bout 3-4 times ! ur lag should be gone !
it worked for me , cant really say it'll work for u ! but give it a shot
edit- DO NOT USE THE PHONE (no sms,calls NOTHING) while this procedure is going on, or else itll freeze and get stuck on bootanimation (at times ) ! and prevent it from going to sleep ! do 10 min for screen timeout in display settings !
That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
Someone else try it! lol

Can attest to the app "Forever Gone" doing its job. :good:
well it looks like its a moot point anyway. i bought this phone so i could go prepaid when i left my job but verizon is ridiculous with their plans. they won't let me put the nexus on a prepaid plan , but they'll let me get 300 mb of data for 80 bucks a month! bunch of thieves. i guess i'm gonna get a nexus 4 and tmobile prepaid
I feel ya man, this is probably my last Verizon phone, bought it off contract too so I can leave anytime B)
Verizon's 3G has gone to hell in many places, like Sprint-speed, I mean 4G my record is about 33 Mbps down, but I live in an "Extended 4G Coverage Area", A.K.A. no 4G and barely any 3G, where I'm lucky to pull 200 kbps down...
T-Mobile doesn't have this problem, and I don't need the exclusive Verizon coverage anymore... Looks like I made up my mind lol, no I'll be here for a while.

That doesn't matter. The warranty goes with the phone, not the owner. As long as its under warranty they will replace it.
