[Q] Updated Radio, Now Android OS is Draining Battery BAD - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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)

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.

[Q] constant restarts and bootloops

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?

I'd update everything you can, and try a different kernel :\. I think your phone may just be VERY picky with kernels. A friend of mine has a phone that ONLY likes one of the older HTC kernels. Anything else gives him reboots constantly. Hope that helps

I also have this issue. It seems to happen with heavy usage when the battery starts to warm up. I have been on Damage Control, Fresh, Virus, MikFroyo....It doesn't matter what I run. I am just living with it for now. Kinda afraid to make it stock and get a new one. I had a friend root mine so I am not sure if I could do it myself. Just never tried. Anyways ....know what you are going through.

Epic is shutting down and won't power back on without pulling battery?

Does anybody have any idea what would cause my Epic to shutdown several times a day and won't power back on without pulling the battery. I have tried doing data factory resets, Odin back to stock, different Roms and it keeps doing it. I've purchased a new battery and it still happens with the new battery. Anybody have any ideas or words of advice to help me fix this problem? Thanks in advance.
Are you rooted and running a overclock or underclock? If you have it set to 100mhz with the screen off some phones have trouble waking up from that. Also, if you are rooted, try going in to your CWM and wiping battery stats. Its under advanced. Make sure you do this when its fully charged.

Yes its rooted. I have never messed with clock speeds, so it shouldnt be an issue with that I hope. Ive also tried wiping the battery stats as well in CWM. It first started when I flashed Syndicate Rom Frozen a few weeks ago. So I have tried several other roms since then and I still have the same problem. I even purchased a new battery and still have the same issue. Im lost in this one. Im not blaming the problem on Syndicate either, I was just letting you know when I first noticed the problem.

What happens when you open the keyboard? Does anything light up? Or does it just continue to stay off?
It stays completely off and blacked out when I open the keyboard. I have to pull the battery in and out to get anything.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
And youve gone completely back to stock without root. No difference?
Also, the kernels that you have run, are they overclock kernels? What about the one your running now? If so, I think they are overclocked from the get go and possibly set for 100mhz on the low end. You might want to try and find SetCPU on the website here, (there is a free one) and set it to raise the speed on the low end. Also add a profile for screen off that changes to 200-400. It would be free and relatively easy to try.
Yeah I have used Odin to go back to stock. Then flashed new roms. I will try that program out and let you know. I'm using the new Viperrom Synergy now and its still happening. Ill try the SetCPU and let you know if it works. Thanks for all of your help.

I might be wrong, but I think the newest ViperRom is set by default at 200-1000. To reach the 1200 mark, you have to use SetCPU. Same for going under 200 (which is known to cause problems for some folks when the screen turns off).
I just wanted to say thanks for the help. I wanted to update you and let you know I finally found the problem. For some reason it had something to do with restoring my apps and data through Mybackup Pro and Titanium. I finally just started taking out different steps of what I was doing and finally just downloaded all of my apparently directly from the market and the problem went away. No more blackouts. I don't know why that would cause that problem, but it did. Thanks again for all of your replies and help.

Anyone else having complete "fail" on latest CM7?

Way back in the 30's I was getting fantastic results with CM7 and tiamets kernel. I recently wanted to go back to it until the Sense 2.1 guys ironed out a few more bugs for me to comfortably daily drive them. I installed n63....had issues 7.0.3.1.... had issues.... n65.... had issues.
By issues I mean random restarts, force closes, 3g won't stick, overall signal for 1x was horrible, no amount of gps fixing would keep my gps locked in or lock better than 20 meters and mms won't work.
I tried stock kernel, tiamets, SZ ect.... clean install, clean wipe, reinstall apps from market vs restore from TB. Tried the mms fix, gps status app, msl reset trick, you name it I have tried it. My phone does not like CM7 right now at all. It's like feeding a baby strained carrots.
I was just curious if anyone else is having similar "no amount of tweaking will fix it" issues. I had to go back to Konis just for some sanity after 3days of this. I know all these Roms that are not based on actual Evo source are experimental but can a guy get some CM love?! lol
I am having pretty much the same issues on my evo. Tried just about the same tweaks to try to rectify them. Right now I'm going to under clock and see if it helps. I noticed a lot more things residing in memory after a restart than usual, including fota kill which is a cm product. All I think I can do now is fire up catlog and see if anything is obvious. I'm no genius so likely I'll just send it in and hope for the best. I was almost sure my hardware was failing, but now not so much.
Haven't had any issues gonna try the latest stable build of cm7 I always use amon 2.3 for a full wipe a lot of the time that fixes issues for people .

Well, n66 after a day on tiamets 4.0.1 kernel seems stable. Let me know how the undervolting goes. I tried vipers v2 and it started freezing after about 20 minutes. The -50 script did the same thing. -25 actually worked out pretty well right up until this morning. My alarm went off and I hit snooze and it threw it into constant reboot.
I'm going to run just n66 with 4.0.1 all day no script and see what I get. I dunno what has changed for my phone but it seems to have leveled out. *knocks on wood*

Cm7 is running great for me. Used nightly 65 for a week with no problems. Flashed 7.0.3.1 2 days ago and it is running like a champ with sz 2.1.0 cfs. Did GPS fix back on nightly 30 something and it has been fine ever since. Maybe you just made your phone mad and its retaliating lol. I do have the receive mms problem though . Tried multiple fixes for it with no luck.
Update* just received an mms with 7.0.3.1 and it worked

Well 66 plays nicely, but I think the mms bug where you can't receive, but using 3.3.7/4.0.1 with bsm v2 and it plays nicely.

Well, I just went back to Koni's..............again. I was running 66 all morning with 4.0.1 and no script and while everything was working ok the battery was draining somewhat fast. It wasn't a wake issue and I even tested an hour or so on PRI177 with the same results. The battery was tolerable because Mondays are really busy for me so I know on a normal day I wouldn't complain but my data connection still drops to 1x a lot and I think the drain might have something to do with the connection searching constantly.
If I can get that Viper script moving along and figure out the data and signal drop I think I am getting somewhere.
@reaper, yes I am using Amon Ra latest and greatest.
Off topic, I love the Nand backup option. My Vibrant only uses Clockwork and even then it was not fully functional. Some of the basic options would brick the phone.
The latest cm7 stable works great.

flashing back to sense after "GPS FIX"
I have a few issues with CM7 and I keep switching back to Sense roms because they have been stable. If I do the GPS fix and stay on CM7 will my GPS still work when and if I go back to a Sense ROM?

[Q] Does your phone randomly reboots?

I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else..
However, this seems to be an ongoing issue with me and Android.
I've had the X10a and Nexus One .. both after only rooting it and using a different rom. While making phone calls and charging.. my phone would reboot..
Or playing a game on the phone.. it would reboot. I basically couldn't do anything without the phone rebooting. Which was sad.
Now with the Galaxy S2X.. This very same issue just happened to me moments ago.
Should I have never rooted it or changed the rom in the first place?
It was running very well before I decided to do so.. even while charging and talking on the phone.
Its funny because it just happened while charging.... I'm not even on the phone myself.
Does anyone seem to have any problem with this when using custom ROMs?
Because if this is true.. then I guess I'll flash the stock kernel and stuff back on the phone just to HOPE it doesn't occur then. :/
I've only experienced this after trying different roms and kernels. I flashed the stock kernel and the deodex rooted stock rom back at the same time and have had no such things happen again.
Imo, stock always runs better than any other rom. I always get better battery too.
My sensation was/is the same way, reboots, dropped signals and all until I put it back to stock rooted. Now it's fine.

Deebo took your bike too?
Yes I have had it more often on this phone though but it has been fixed by wiping the proper things first then flashing. If not then you might need to redownload the file.
If that doesnt work then you need to make sure that the kernel you are using is compatible with the rom
Also make sure that you are using the proper cpu software for the kernel.. Setcpu seems to work good for most but on Juggernauts new kernel they highly recommend Fauxclock .
I've run roms and kernels since we got root. Never had a random reboot or any other problem for that matter.

The only thing I'm worried about is if I continue to wipe and reinstall these customs ROM's that this issue could worsen, but you said that Fauxclock was highly recommended for Jug's Rom? I should try that out myself.
I've always done exactly what was written on the Instructions themselves.
But as for now. . I did a full wipe.. including my SD and the USB data and did a practice call for roughly an hour with me playing games and surfing. So far, there has been any problems. I hope this is perm!
I'd hate to waste another $500 phone D:
As far as the problem kernel with rom etc..
I am running Jug's rom straight. No different kernel's nothing.
I just had it happen to me last night. First time on this phone it has happened. It its stock, rooted. Happened while I was paying music in the car. My other phones with custom roms used to do it all the time.
I wonder if this has happened to anyone without ANY mods on their phone? =X

What exactly does that do?

Are you overclocking?
I am running jugs rom. Before I cleaned everything I did move a lot of apps to SD. Maybe that cause it but as for now I have no.problem. definitely report in the future should there be anymore.

Reviving old thread... I have a completely stock S2X running 4.0.3 and it randomly reboots or shuts itself off.
I'm trying to figure out if it's a wayward app or a hardware problem. Thinking of rooting and removing the bloatware.
I also saw that it could be a faulty power button, but it also happens by itself, sitting on a desk.

Root try new rom and kernel see if that fixes it.

Have you tried updating to jellybean? Mu phone used to randomly reboot on 4.0.4 probably once a day, and hasn't done it since I did. I am on stock rom.

Calkulin's E4GT 2 v1.6 bug?

I would have made a reply post in the dev thread but my post count is to low, sorry about that.
Also i read through a lot of the recent pages that pertained to version 1.6 with no answer.
After a few days of using this ROM i have noticed an odd bug. Throughout the day, my phone would be on in my pocket with out me knowing. The screen would be on and also wife, Bluetooth, gps, 4g... Certain apps would also turn on. I wear thick work pants so i don't believe my skin would have triggered this. The battery would obviously be drained with only being off the charger for 4 hours...
yesterday night, i noticed my pocket was red hot. So i went to grab my phone out to see what was going on. I have never felt a phone that was this hot before. I immediately took the battery out and let the phone cool off for a good half hour.
Just curious if anyone has noticed this before and if there is a fix? To be safe i am going back to my old ROM.
That is definitely not normal. Try a clean wipe and reinstall. If still getting this then check a program like badass battery monitor to see what is doing it. Again this is not normal at all and you are one of the only ones potentially having the issue so i don't think it is the rom in this case. Good luck and hope it corrects.

Definitely not the ROM. I've been using it without issues since it came out and by the number of people that use the ROM, it would've come up if it were isolated to the ROM itself. As the previous poster indicated possibly something running in the background. Did you in do a clean install from GB or Calk 1.5 (whichever you were on)?
My phone did something similar running on of the leaked ICS (non-custom) ROM's a few weeks ago and I remember just going into recovery, then wiping cache and dalvik cache. No issues since then. When in doubt start with a "clean" install and if restoring from TB, then restore apps only and no system data. This seems to play nice for me.
Good Luck.

I used calk's format all coming from GB. All of his ROM's have run great for me.
The best ROM i have used to date was his el29 v3.0.
I figured this was very specific, i will check out that battery monitor. Thanks for the input!
