[Q] Major problem with Skyraider 3.3 ROM and battery!!

I am having several major problems with my phone ever since I tried flashing some new stuff over the Skyraider 3.3 final ROM!! Everything was fine, except for the extremely excessive battery drain after I installed the ROM the first time. Then I flashed a splash zip and also the blue battery circle zip and last but not least the #5 kingxklick bfs kernal. Ever since then my phone has gone berserk. When I hold down my power button, not only does the screen for all of the options(hibernation, power down, reboot, etc..) not come up, it just goes straight to my bootanimation screen and it boots back up. Also, the excessive battery drain has gotten worse!! So, I booted back into recovery and did a restore. This seemed to stop the craziness of my phone, unfortunately it still just reboots when I hold the power button down and the excessive battery drain is still going on!!! Anyone have any suggestions? I'm afraid to do anything else because it seems that I have done enough for right now top screw it up!

Make sure you're not overclocking more than your phone can handle (if at all).
I'm running this same combo (SR 3.3/Kingxkernel BFS #5) and it's working quite well for me with good battery life.
If you choose to reinstall, do a complete wipe/cache wipe *twice* from the recovery menu before flashing.

First of all, Thank you very much!! I know this is a dumb question, but how do I check to see if I'm overclocking? I don't know how to do that, obviously. Ha.

that rom is dependant on radio, and HBoot being up to date. If you don't meet both, you will have problems. I had all sorts of issues with 3.3 when I installed it only to find you have to have s-off, 2.15 radio, and .79 Hboot. The reboot problem is more than likely the Hboot, anything below .79 frow what I understand will not support the new hibernation modes, which causes the reboot.

I was using the hibernation mode every night since it came out on .77 HBOOT with no issues. I only just now updated HBOOT cause I got bored and wanted the newest one lol.. But yeah, was I just lucky? :/

for some odd reason i have no data. no 3g, 4g, only wifi. updated profile and prl. Did the ##data# reset in edit mode with the PRL. Shut off and let sit without battry for a while.
Any ideas?

Don't resort to flashing radios you can really screw up your 4g.....Did you try factory reseting your phone but back everything up first and see if that works if not try flashing a stock rom or a ruu.

Update Profile/PRL. If that doesn't work, flash a stock RUU and Update Profile/PRL. If that doesn't work do a ##786# reset. That should get you up and running.
If you still have problems post back and I will point you in the right direction to fixing your data profiles.

I also have the same problem using myn rls4, but have net 4.2.1 cfs HAVS more kernal. Out of nowhere the data will just cut out and stop working. I will try some of the suggestions in the thread.

Did any of out suggestions work for you?

well i went back to CM 6.1(newest build) and about 45 minutes ago it happened again while i was at the bar. guess imma go to a non rooted RUU to see what happens

not to be "that" guy but one bump for a hopefully permanent fix.
As much as half of us have a rom flashing addiction. I cannot do this every day lol.

If that doesn't work. Call sprint and tell them your phone is having really slow data and it's going in and out tell them it happened after updating your phone through system update then they will say it's due to software update and they will send you a replacement next day.That is my suggestion because you don't want to screw something up that might be noticeable trying to fix your current evo just get a new one and start over with everything updated. I hope I was helpful

I did this, using the debug menu once. I reset all data and then it wouldn't update my profile so I couldn't access my 3G and the web data was gone. I tried to update my profile/prl and it wouldn't, kept timing out.
Every time I would reboot the handset it would try to update automatically but fail. It turns out the rooted rom I was on, (Fresh EVO) was interfering with the update. I flashed the stock RUU...then the phone attempted the same update profile, and afterwards it was back to normal.
So try going back to a stock rom, and then if it doesn't automatically try to update your profile, go to your settings and do so manually, should do the trick.
Basically do what APH noted in his post...sorry must have skipped your posting.

This same thing happened to me on the Hero. I RUU'd back to Sprint's crap and then called them. They walked me through some things and then told me to take it in. The repair guy did the same thing I did (RUU and then data fix) and it started working. So, if all else fails, RUU and bring it back to the store.

thank goodness i have a long weekend. Guess if the new PRL update doesnt fix this then ill head over.

Phone stays awake

Im not a noob but this is a problem that i cant solve. I had to jus recently re root my phone. Flashed my 1st rom and phone would show same time for up and awake time sometimes awake time would be a fraction of a second more than up. ****in weird. Pulled battery... problem still persisted. flashed a few other roms also restored a nandroid(jus a week old) to see if it would stop. no go. Maybe I need to re root again?
stock htc kernel 15
rom- currently mikfroyo 4.30. tried calk's evio 1.7.7. and my nandroid back up was calk's evio 1.7.5

Do you have the latest raidios updated? Alot of people have been having issues with the NV and PRI being 1.90. Try downgrading that and see if it helps

my pri is only 1.34 so maybe i should try the latest radios

Also, do you use 4g? There is a known bug, that when you turn 4g on, and then toggle it off, that the radio remains scanning, and holds a wake lock. So you have to turn 4g off and reboot. Just throwing some things out there.

I am having this same problem, I thought it might have been some thing in Juice Defender... but my screen setting is set right and everything... I have to manually shut the screen off by pressing the top button... if I dont - it just dims to very low brightness and stays on...

I am having the same problem as well. Never had but had to switch evo's due to my old one dying. My new one always stays awake. I have tried four different rom's, same thing. I killed my old one updating radios so I am hesitant to do that again. Any other ideas? My am out and this phone is almost useless in this state. The battery life is down right atrocious. I hate to get rid of it but if this can't be corrected I won't have a choice.

[Q] Flashed Myn's Warm 2.2 (RLS 5), 4G radio not working

I flashed the ROM a few nights ago and followed the instructions regarding flashing the new Radio pack but after noticing that 4G just wouldn't turn on I tried going back into recovery and flashing the .zip again. Still didn't work.
Eventually I restored the previous backup because of an unrelated data-loss incident. I restored the backup I made of Warm and tried re-flashing the radio .zip but it still wont work, anyone care to point out what I'm doing wrong?
I've tried searching the ROM's thread but "4g" must not be long enough to search for, and "radio" yielded no help either. I would've posted this there but evidently I need 10 posts before I can post to the Dev forum(A new rule?).
Thanks for reading!

What's your phone information(build,kernel,hboot)?

I thought that stuff was controlled by the ROM developer. It's on HTC kernel 15, build is warm 2.2 RLS 5.

As it turns out, last night I was able to turn 4g on, but I'm no longer able to do it now. Anyone know what's up?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I had the exact same problem as you. This just happened out of nowhere which is even more weird. The rom was working fine and then all of a sudden it just stopped allowing me to turn on 4g. I get the scanning then disconnect really quick. Or I get turning on and turning off over and over again. It shows really quick.
What I did was I flashed back to stock with an old nandroid. I went to a area without 4g and tried to let it connect. Of course it couldn't. I then updated my profile 4 times. I flashed back to another rom and it is working again. Still a little buggy but way better than not being able to connect at all.

I have been bouncing back and forth between his and mikfroyo. You go into settings and go to system updates and update profile. When it's done hit ok. Do that a few times and restart the phone. See if that works. It took me days to get mine working again. I think it was from flashing from rom to rom all the time and updating and upgrading the radio's that caused the problem. I don't think it's his rom that is causing it in my case at least. Good luck

My standard process when flashing roms and kernels has always been and will be when im done with the flashing . Setup widgets and where I want them , apps , general settings etc etc etc . Then perform Update Profile followed by Update PRL . When those processes are done I usually let the phone settle down some then do a reboot . Again let the phone settle down from the reboot . Then check your 4G connection it should work . My only advice is to stick with roms running off the newest radios . That way you cut out flashing radios causing possible issues with 4G .

So i am having issues with this ROM and was wondering if anyone is having the same issue. Well i see that my awake and run time are the same and spare parts is showing 100% usage on the CPU.
ive tried using all the different kernels to no success.
any help would be appreciated.
Myn's warm 2.2 RLS 5
updated radios
kings 11

I've installed Myn and my 4G doesn't work. It switches between on and off really fast and then sometimes it'll go further and scan, connect, disconnect, and repeat.
Specs: myn's warm TwoPointTwo (RLS5)
Baseband: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel: 2.6.32.25-netrarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass
PRI version: 1.90_003
PRL version 60674
NOTE!! I've already checked if my RSA keys have been lost and they haven't.
Any tips would be grateful, I'm going to flash Fresh tonight and hopefully it works.

Jj, and SouthernEvo, thanks for the tips! I cracked the glass on my phone and just got a replacement, when I flashed the radios I didn't get the images the dev said I would: "While the radios are flashing you'll see a little green arrow phone icon for a bit afterwords, Wait on this. You will then automatically be taken back to recovery."
If this time around it doesn't work again I guess I'll try flashing a re-downloaded Radio package!
running_onCode, seems that we might be having the same issues, did you notice anything strange while flashing the radio package? Like I said on this second Evo, when I flashed it I paid attention and didn't get any green exclamation points.

I have this problem as well. I've used the app that checks for the RSA keys and it says I'm good. I've also checked via a console app.
What happens is exactly like everyone else here. Once the WiMax radio is turned on it'll scan for 3-5 seconds, then it says connecting to Sprint for about .5 seconds, then it says disconnect, and repeats. I've flashed and reflashed with the latest radio pack at the top here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 . I did that so I could run Myn's Wyrm RLS5. H boot has not been flahed ( think I have a really old version). I've tried different ROMs and there is no difference. I tried going back to my previous ROM and it still didn't work. I tried updating Profile and PRL 5x and doing a shutdown>reboot and there was no change. Any help would be great.

I tried

Yeah, it seems like we do have the same issue. I'll flash Myn's rom when there is a fix for the 4G or maybe it's just our phones? I got tired of waiting so I flashed MikFroyo and everything is working. I was using 4G a couple minutes after leaving my house yesterday.

Yeah I'm thinking of just flashing another ROM, can't get much help without posting to the ROM thread itself and I guess I can't do that anymore!
It's too bad though, the first time around I had amazing battery life, but this time it's a lot worse

Are you using Titanium Backup? I had the same problem when I used TB, I would wipe everything, flash Myn's rom and them restore all my apps using TB and 4g would not turn on at all, RSA keys were intact but no 4g. I actually did a Nand backup before running TB and after using TB and trying to restore Nand 4g still would not work!
It actually took a while before I figured out it was TB borking the 4g (3-4 installs and reboots). I had to write down all my backed up apps and download them one by one
Hope this helps!

As a matter of fact I am using Titanium! So I should flash the rom and install the apps one by one or what? That's not really something I'm looking forward to

I doubt it is titanium, I had the same problems with RLS 5 not getting 4g. Have used titanium on Calks, Mik, and Azrael without having 4g scanning / disconnecting issues. There was a fix for this a couple weeks ago, somewhere. Too much for me so I moved on. Ricsim said that battery life is 97% driven by the kernel, not the Rom.

Bump! Anyone?

[Q] Need Help Resolving Few Issues

Hey everyone. I haven't been working with custom ROMs for long, so I'm a little lost with what I might be missing here.
Phone:
Sprint HTC EVO 4G
Cyanogenmod 7.0.3.1
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel Version: 2.6.37.4-cyanogenmod-01338-g0374804
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.0.3.1-Supersonic
Build Number: GRI40
Problem:
I recently updated from CyanogenMod 6 to CyanogenMod 7. Since then all heck has been breaking lose on my normally happy Evo. I was extremely pleased with CyanogenMod 6 due to better battery life, faster operation, better features than stock, etc. However, since the update to 7, I've been experiencing the following problems... but I do have to say 7 it's beautiful!
Battery life now sucks... BAD!
* Went from 1 charge a day (or less) to multiple per day and there's less software on it than before.
* Battery history indicates the radio is consuming 48% of battery.
Data has been terrible and now no longer works at all.
* I no longer have even 3G, but only shows white "1x" on status bar.
* Wi-Fi is now the only means I have to consume data.
4G/WiMAX commonly doesn't stay connected either or allow data.
GPS is out to lunch. It skips all over the place and loses signal every few seconds.
Questions:
Do I need to update the radio?
If so, where do I find either the latest or appropriate version for use with CyanogenMod 7?
Are there updates to 7.0.3.1 that will fix battery life & other issues?
Some forums were saying to run PRI, but I haven't had that since my phone was stock. How do I obtain that?
Given my phone's info above, would you recommend I install or update anything else?
Thanks in advance for all the help!

Update all radios. Check my sig for a link.
Flash a rooted Sense ROM, based on the Evo (this disqualifies MikG, Director's Cut, Synergy and other Sense 2.1 ROMs, because those are based on the Evo Shift (I've had issues with Shift-based ROMs not reprovisioning data). Update PRL. Reboot.
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code (download and use MSL Reader from the Market to get it), Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. Let it reprovision, but when it says "Updating PRL" hit cancel.
Wipe everything in recovery, flash ROM of your choice.
Use 3G Supercharger if you want.
You can try those things above to see if they do any good.

Try Deck's as suggested above. He is a great ROM developer and often updates. I personally use SavagedZen kernel when on his ROM. For a flashable GPS fix, see my sig.

For battery try out a different kernel like tiamat 3.3.7 or 4.0.6, SZ 2.2.1 those seem to be the best ones you can try the sbc versions you'll get a little more life out of them you can find them on kernel manager from the market.
You can check this out for your radios.

@Shadow,
In order to answer you actual questions:
YES! Update your radios from Calkulins thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
Grab the latest update, youll be happy. This will update PRI as well.
There is a RC1 of CM 7.1, which is pretty good. Based on 2.3.4 which is just improved GB. Though it is not considered a stable release yet, if that is what you are looking for.
Considering this gets your signal working proper you should notice imedeate results for battery life. I would recommend the Battery Calibration app from market, follow instructions.
The above GPS link is good, exactly what you should look into. I recommend the Qualcom 1.1 works great every time. However, after flashing new radios check your GPS again to see how it is working. Once that is solved, get GPS status from market and check out all the features it has. It can clear GPS cache, download "assistance data" and give you a precise time it takes to lock on to better diagnose GPS issues.
Lastly, you may want to consider doing a clean install, doing a FULL wipe using a wipe all .zip and clear user data, cache and dalvik. Not sure if you did this the first time, but it helps to avoid any errors from leftovers from your previous ROM.

Since you are going to update your radios, I would recommend updating it thru HBOOT just update with sprint lover's rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153
Just load up the PC136IMG and let it update and then install the rom of your choice afterwards or nand restore a back up of your desired rom.
Personally either way you update should be fine, but HBOOT seems a bit safer.

Wow, you guys are amazing!
shawayne21, thanks I appreciate the recommendation. However, I'm not currently in the market for another ROM. I just want to get what appear to be mostly radio issues resolved. I have tried several other ROMs when I rooted my EVO and immediately fell in love with CyanogenMod. I will keep this in mind for possible future ROM explorations though. Thanks again!
TropicalBrit, thanks a lot for that repost. There is so much content on this site that it's difficult for a noobie like myself to pick out what the most appropriate information is for a particular situation. However, as time goes on and I get more experience I assume that will change.
I will perform the items TropicalBrit reposted and let everyone know how it goes! Thank you immensely to everyone who took the time to help me out! Cheers!

Sounds like you might need to perform a complete and thorough system wipe, preferably using one of the formatting zips.
Then reflash your rom, flash a better kernel, and download your apps fresh from the market.
I've had great success with Tiamat 3.3.7 sbc and Savaged Zen 2.2.1 bfs sbc, running the same baseband as you on hardware 003.
