Hi everyone, I like many others updated to 2.3.3 and now I have a very buggy evo 4g. Problems such as speaker phone turning on ramdomly, screen wakes up for no reason and can't put it back to sleep, volume rocker no longer works when asleep, and other minor quarks. Question is should I take it to sprint and have them try to fix it before I try my first root ever, or simply proceed with the root and hope the issues go away after root? Thanks for the help.
My guess would be that it is hardware problems. But I would root it anyways and see if a custom ROM fixes your issues. Only knowledge can come from rooting your phone so try it out and If it doesn't work then unroot and grab a replacement. Nothin to lose really

Thanks but I thought you couldn't unroot 2.3.3 as.of yet? i could be wrong tho.
I say go ahead and root and flash the thing. My GF's Evo started acting wonky after the OTA updates so I was pretty sure that it wasn't a hardware issue. I rooted and flashed Synergy on her phone and it's been alot more stable with better battery life according to her.
ok if all else fails i guess i flash the stock rom, and go to sprint? though not fully unrooted i shouldnt have a problem right?
Yeah I guess they don't have an unroot option. As long as you flash a stock ROM and make it look stock 2.3.3, sprint shouldn't hassle you.

Thanks guys for all the feedback but today was an all time low for my evo. Every bug i mentioned occurred today plus some new ones such as screen unresponsive and phone turning off. I dont wanna take the chance of ending up with a buggy rooted evo that i cant get serviced because it cant be unrooted. I think the best is hope for sprint to give me a new phone, and root a new(refurbished most likely) evo. Thanks again.
Seems like everything you described is software related. Root it and flash a different rom and you will be good to go

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?
bump please help

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

ive done all of that, and now i notice massive battery drain ever since i updated wimax and radio, so iw ent back to an older kernal so i could flash myns rom rsl4 or w/e and the ophone is restaryting every time i try to set restrictions in afirewall, half the time i text it restarts, it gets warmer to the touch. i dont even try running games now. its bull****, i need to go back to stock evo rom and unroot and bring it in for some new ****.
my phone does that too on almost all kernels. so does that mean my phone is bad? should i get it replaced?

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.

What have you flashed lately? Radio, wimax, pri etc? What have you tried so far? Did you try wiping everything(data,cache, davlik cache) and reflashing just your rom, no ad ons? That's what I would try, if you haven't already

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

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.

My daughters att gs3 screen keeps turning on and off all the time all by itself. its all pure stock, NO root, stock rom still.
Data block on her line.
She doesnt have much installed in it and i dont want to reset it. is there anything i can install that will tell me what is causing it?
I know there is a better battery stats app. Not sure if it needs root? Imunsure it will help as its a bit confusing to read thru all the readings
Strangely mines did this for a day and it killed my battery. Hasn't happened since then though. Glad I wasn't going crazy. Mines is also stock no root or anything.

This is happening on my phone too, and when the screen turns on by itself it won't time out, have to manually lock it. Thought it was something to do with smart stay but mine is disabled. I flashed a custom rom yesterday and noticed it still happening. Carriers hardware support thinks it is a hardware issue and want me to rma my phone.

I think your only option is reseting the phone to make sure the phone doesnt have hardware issues. Try a fresh stock install from odin.

So over the weekend, my phone started rebooting on its own..Thought it was a ROM bug, but every ROM I switched to (Even clean backups) would have an issue with locking the phone (Lockscreen would come back on within a second) and automatically shutting down/rebooting.... So I Odin'd back to stock and sent it to Samsung... Should I have any worries about them being able to see I was rooted at any point? I know this is such a noob question, but I just want the damn thing fixed without issues. Thoughts?

Simple answer, no they will never know, descriptive answer lol, 9x out of 10 sammy never turns the phones on, u will probably get a completely diff phone back, all they do with these is either wipe and reflash if its a software issue, or junk for parts and refurbs if its hardware related, I've never seen an issue with any Hercules warranty because of rooting
