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.
Actually I'm one of the devs for handcent SMS and delete handcent and then install from market. See what happeneds

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.

My girlfriend's HW003 Nova EVO is in a state of random reboot. I have run out of ideas.
It is not OS dependent, meaning I have gone through 3 different ROMS including stock rooted.
There are 6 log files below. They are logcat files right before the phone kills the connection.
Knowing that the ROM is not the cause, I am down to Radio, WIMAX, GPS, WIFI, or CPU/MoBo.
I executed the gpsclrx command and it had no effect on the random reboots.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Have you exchanged your phone at a Sprint location? What have you done?

I have some random reboots as well, thought it was related to temp but after a while that seems to not be the case. Happens on every ROM and seems to happen 9/10 times when browsing. Stock Browser / Dolphin HD. Reason I thought it was a temp thing was I started noticing a light spot on the screen, evidently above the processor, and so I figured something had to be happening with it all.
Have been meaning to start calling around about it and see if it's something Sprint can replace or not. Am more than prepared to pay the deductible, but I haven't really made steps to get to the bottom of it.
It's strange because when I think I realize what is doing it, it ends up not really seeming to be the case. It all started happening when I had a bad wipe / flash (clockwork) and it started happening then. Lost my RSA Certs (not a huge thing, obviously something I'll need to address at some point but currently using CM6 so I'm not really "missing it." But that's when it all started happening. So I guess in that regard, the WiMax shouldn't necessarily be an issue ... or so I would think. Happens when on WiFi and off, happens whether GPS has even been turned on at any point or not so I figured it had to be some CPU issue but not necessarily due to heat.
Know this probably doesn't help, but I thought I'd post.
have you tried seeing if it reboots with out apps installed? not sure if she uses setcpu or other similar type apps that could cause issues. I used to get random reboots too especially when i would run certain apps while i was over clocked.
and this may be a stupid question if so sorry but you are wiping between roms and you are NOT restoring system settings from a back up after you do correct?
Exchange the phone?

If you have setcpu installed, I need you to go to the info tab, scroll down and tell me what value is next to memtotal. It should be 425000.

The reason why I was asking you to check the info tab for the memtotal value, is because on my phone, currently I am not having a problem and the value is 425000kB , but on my girlfriend's phone, it registers only 424840kB.

Alright, will look for the one on these boards.
Hate to even go here, but I really never used a logcat before; but my phone just rebooted and I went immediately into the logcat and just like when I launched it at first there is just a wealth of information. I see it says ;
D/alogcat ( 521): stopping ...
D/alogcat ( 521): resumed
Might sound dumb, but am I to assume that's the point the log stopped and began again, due to the reboot? Would think it is .... on to that setcpu I guess.
edit: seeing that stopping and resuming in multiple spaces, guess that's not it. =/

I think this may be a HARDWARE issue...
Hello xda folks,
Long time reader, first time posting...
I'll try and condense this down, everytime I try to post something xda says I'm not logged in, so I'm keeping it short out of re-writing frustration.
I'm HW003, I lack setcpu, so I can't really check my memtotal, but I believe that in short the flash mem/nand memory may be getting damaged or corrupted by flashaholics like myself. I'm curious to see in any non-root users have experienced the completely random reboots like some of us here.
Let me be clear about one thing, I'm describing random rebooting, not consistent bootloops, at least they weren't at first.
Initially, I thought this problem was a byproduct of OC'ing, or overheating the unit, but I have flashed every combination of rom, kernel, OC/stock, hboot ver, etc, virtually anything I have some control over, and the phone still reboots. Ive even rolled back to stock unrooted, and tried bone stock 2.2 but the phone keeps throwing a fit.
Everything on this phone hardware wise screams "I was manufactured on the cheap, and put out to stores on the quick", so it stands to reason there is some kind of failure taking place.
I'm no expert, but I've flashed this thing A LOT. Probably around 100 times.
It also seems to be getting worse, as it often sticks in bootloops now, not just random reboots. Causing me to have to flash it on an even more arbitrary basis!
Next step for me, is rolling back to stock 2.2{Again}, and sending this bad boy back to where it came from, and wait for my POS replacement and its new set of shenanigans. I will root the new one once, pick one rom, and flash it once...
It will be difficult, but I will be attending Flashaholics Anonymous.
We can do this together.
Anyone have a more logical answer?
I honestly cannot find the cause of this. I Have tried everything in my power to try to fix this problem but absolutely nothing seems to work. When using my phone regularly (only on froyo) my phone will get very very hot and then start a reboot loop where it keeps rebooting and rebooting and rebooting. I have the official 2.2 update. Currently not rooted but S-OFF. I wanted to see if the root was causing any problems but im still getting the reboots. I Love my Inc. and i love the AMOLED screen. I want to be able to fix this problem so i dont get stuck with a ****ty replacement. PLEEZ HELP MEEZ
first thing would be to tell everyone what ROM you're on and if you're running setCPU.

I get this problem all of the time and I will tell you it has nothing to do with root. In fact, I'm not sure it is even a software issue. I have done multiple factory resets to try to troubleshoot the problem.
There is a thread at AndroidForums about it that I am currently running, but I can't link to it evidently. Look in the Support section for the Incredible.
How did you update? You're running a 2.xx radio, right?
If your problems are surviving a full wipe + RUU, the most likely culprit is that your hardware is failing.
It's a full wipe stock 2.2 and yes I have the newest radio
I was having the same issue with my phone on Stock 2.1, Stock 2.2, custom ROMs, etc. No software updates/configurations would make the random reboots stop. Anything that taxed the CPU seemed to cause my reboots. The easiest way to reproduce was to just start GPS'ing somewhere. Within minutes, the phone would go into a reboot loop that would usually only stop after a battery pull.
I took the phone into VZW while it was doing a reboot loop, showed it to them, and they put in a replacement order for me. The replacement (yes, it's a refurb) has been rock solid over a few days of heavy use. I read that if you had an AMOLED screen, then you're replacement will also be AMOLED.
tl;dr; - random reboots on stock ROM with no mods is probably a hardware failure. Go with a refurb.
Decided to go to VZW and order a replacement. They told me it would be a new phone and not a refurb but I don't trust them. Anyways it comes Thursday. I shall report back my friends. I still find this problem to be so odd
ive had my phone since august, rooted nand the whole works a week after i got it. everything was fine until about a week ago, now the phone randomly restarts, 3-5x a day and sometimes will get stuck in a bootloop. this always most definitely happens when im playing games, for more than 10 minutes if that. also when im trying to flash a enw rom, when it tries to boot up and get to the setup page it will restart almost as if its over working on starting up and then burning out. its sometimes warm to the touch, if i put my phone in the refrigerator for 10 min. i can get through flashing a rom, any ideas?

Sounds like the you are running something that is interfering with your home app and causing it to frequently close... you will see this screen right before it loads back up, correct??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Craig is right. When the home app fails, it has to relaunch, causing the warm twopointtwo load screen. It's happened to me once or twice. Before my little troubleshooting thing down there, keep in mind that #15 kernels DEFINITELY work with updated sense roms like myn rls5 and mikfroyo 4.3. #15 is Sprint's most updated kernel and you can find ones that have been modded and customized right there in the forums in the development section.
Anyways, if the #15 kernel installation doesn't work:
here's what I'd do.
Do you have a custom home app installed (such as launcher pro or adw launcher)? If so, uninstall and re-install them. If that doesn't help, go back to the stock home and see if the problem occurs there. If not, then you know it's a problem with launcher pro or adw. If it continues or you don't have a custom home app, proceed to step 2.
Step 2 is to backup your apps and data using my backup or titanium backup and do a factory reset (not reflashing the rom, just a factory reset to erase everything). Yes, it's a pain in the ass, but this is how the troubleshooting process is. If it continues after that, go to step 3.
Step 3, reflash the rom as it could've been caused by a corrupted file on a bad flash attempt. Since you already backed everything up in step 2, you won't have to do it again. If the reflash should not work, move onto step 4.
Step 4, the rom download itself is corrupted. Go download it again and reflash it.
If that doesn't work, then I don't know. RLS5 is made to work with PRI 1.90 and all the other updated stuff from Sprint, so if you're completely up to date then I couldn't tell you what the problem was.
Hope that helps.
thanks for the tips, i'll give them a try today. hopefully it clears up

If I look at the power control widgets, it shows WiFi being on, and when I click it, it says that I'm not diabling WiFi. This has happened to me twice now, I haven't tested to see if it was actually on or not though. Clicking the power control widget again enables WiFi and the correct icon shows up.

ill do it, but i didnt know that my wifi connection had anything to do with my profile..
jut did it and it replied "no profile updates available"
i found a quick solution, i just enabled the wifi sleep policy to like 15 miniutes. So if my phone is going to sleep or on standby, after 15 minutes, it will go to 3g. I know the problem is when its connecting to a network for a long time the wifi freezes. So i just stopped allowing it to do so.
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 .

Oh also if your on the gb radios you should probably be on a gb ROM.

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 .

I'm currently dl Ginger-AleV4 to try it out, I prefer Fresh because that's all I've had, and many ppl swear by it. If anything a temporary fix would be good until Fresh comes out with it.
Yeah, I'm on XDA looking around since like 4 hours ago, and studying for an exam I have tomorrow
Thanks for your help
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.

I notice the extreme heat on it too. It really sux. I went from having awesome battery life since Sept '10 on Fresh, and went to losing full charge in 4 hrs using my phone as a paper weight after the radio flash.

I actually just finished downloading it, and just waiting for my phone to get a charge so I can start wiping, and flashing.
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.
Thanks Guys

I think it might be running the GB Radios, yet not running GB ROMs.
I'm taking the plunge into Miks ROM and see if it works.
Thanks

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

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.
