Does anybody have an idea why my phone drains lots of battery and constantly reboots, but only when I'm in an area where the signal cuts in and out (like a basement)?
Does the radio use more voltage or current to try and find a signal?
Thanks for the help. It's driving me nuts! lol

yes it does, and i believe it reboots to try to restart the radio and see if it can find a signal that way.
Ironic if it's a deliberate action to find signal in that it makes the software look extremely buggy. Too bad there isn't an option that's like
Freak out and reboot if there's no signal. [Uncheck]

I've used the Google navigation for a long time, and never got a problem. CM7 stable was installed, and works well for a month. I'm in NY state.
However, yesterday, I found GPS deviated northward for about 100 feet,and not always, sometimes could get right.
When I drove west to east, the screen showed me I was driving across buildings...
I can barely drive without navigation, Could somebody help me?
I'm not a native English Speaker, so sorry for my poor language.
Thank you
anybody met that?
Is this a constant issue with it showing your location incorrectly? You could try a different radio as that is what's communicating with the GPS.

Thank you
Could you recommend one?
I'm personally using the leaked evo radio (4.08). I would recommend www.dougpiston.com, go to the radios section and try some out. I usually test radios by looking at the signal strength in settings>about phone (lower dBm means stronger signal), the speed test app and GPS test is a good one too.

I've had that happen to me before, I restarted the phone and it never happened again.

I had that happen to me with one of the CM7 nightly builds. I noticed it was fixed after I flashed 10.05.06 radio and a newer nightly.
God, I've tried the newest radio,but still have the problem
Icant seem to find a way to force my g2 to stay in "4g"
Ihave full conection it just keeps bouncing back and fourth
Between 3g and 4g .. any help?
I dont know but all the roms do that and it does that to save battery, if it stays in 3G it means its just saving battery but when you go to an app that requires the web it goes to 4G for fasters speed.
So basicly devs made it like that to make your phone save battery.
My guess, dont quote me on that.

It switches whilst iam using the browser
And ialways get page load fails
Its switching as itype this
And when iuse my tether it still switches ..its rather annoying
What I did was download the app any cut and make a shortcut to the phone info setting. Once in there just switch from wcdma perferred to wcdma only and that should do it

That happened fo me too. But I was getting the speed without the icon...it was only when it switchdd that it would f up. I just switchdd radios and downloaded the 4g app pack and it helpdd but didnt fix (only happendd with a couple roms) and on other roms it will say 4g but its a 3g speed...and that ciuld just be the nature of the beast...
Can't believe no one else in the know has commented on this. You c ant force it. PERIOD. That is not how hspa works. The phone plays a small part in the switch but MOST of it is up to the towers discretion. The tower switches you to hspa when the data throughput warrants it. This is a fact not just some crackpot theory. Save your time!
Lol to the person who said devs made it that way. Not making fun just laughing

What amount of time are we talking? Mine takes probably 10 seconds or so, which is a really long time for something loading (even though it may not sound like it when typing here).
I would say almost a minute
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
about 6 - 10 sec is avrg... 1 min ?? i would check my data info to make sure ur phones on the up and up
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
would it be caused by slow network? I usually get that problem when I'm in such GPRS or jamed 3G network
I'm not really sure because I don't have a data plan on my HTC G2. I just use wifi the whole time.
And it really takes about a minute to load.
I don't think itss because its the slow connection, it has to be something else.
Any suggestions on what I should do?

Sometimes, when I go into buildings (like a movie theater or college class room) my phone gets hot and then the battery just drains crazy. I have Sprint Optimizer off and I don't think it is Rom related because it dosen't matter what Rom I use, this happens. My guess would be that it is constantly trying to find a signal or something...if that is the case, what do I do? I shouldn't have to put my phone in airplane mode when I go into a building. Let me know your thoughts or solutions....Thanks!

Do you HAVE signal when this happens? Could it be an app running your CPU and wakelocking you? Is GPS trying to get a fix for something?

If that's Columbus, OH, your phone has been taken over by the ghost of Bo Schembechler. Quick, hit it with a hammer!

I do have signal.....but it is very very slow....I don't know if its a app running...I always keep gps off unless I need to use it. Next time it happens, is there something you recommend that I do to help find out what is causing the problem?

You can use CPU Spy to see if your phone is staying awake or sleeping. Also, Better Battery Stats will allow you to check for specific wakelocks.

To the OP, if you use these make sure you un install them when you're done with them. They reduce your battery life because I think they make wakelocks of their own.

For me, battery drain and excessive heat remind me of one thing - heavy data use. This happens to me when my drop box is automatically uploading my gallery, while signal is bad.
If this were happening to me I'd be looking for apps that are auto syncing or auto uploading data and change the settings.

I usually just turn off data and im good....theres widgets that let you turn it off and on with ease.... toggles even....
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Just wondering if anyone knows why when I turn of data especially, my phone can go 24 hours in one charge but leaving data on all the time diminishes the battery life. Is it a modem thing? I always had battery issue but turning off data seems to help a check lot. Thanks in advanced.

Do you often leave the coverage area? Because constantly searching for network when there is none will eat battery. Also If you have data on it will allow background apps to use the internet, which consumes power as well.
You probably are getting a much stronger signal when it isn't trying to stay connected to mobile data.
The weaker your signal the greater the battery drain. Often when you enable data you get a weaker sig.
Also make sure its not set to wcdma only.

I'm in pretty good coverage area.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It is pretty normal for you to have more battery consumption with the data on than off. I had a myTouch 3G slide that could go for 3 days if I left the data off. Check to see if you have any apps that are being synchronized too often because that could be causing your phone to die quicker than normal.
With data off apps can't update(refresh) right? That should keep them from waking the system up.

Try having wifi on when possible if you dont want to disable data.

Still use it for an alarm.

If they are set to sync they will still try. You have to turn off sync. But if they can't get out they still don't transmit so still less battery use.

Yeah that will probably fix the issue. When I was on TW, under the battery tab, I noticed that my phone would wake often during the night. Now with the data off, it stays asleep longer. I think ill have to use something like juice defender that enables and disabled data automatically
