I personally own a E4GT so im somewhat un-familiar with the evos. I have rooted Evo's before without issues, but, i rooted a buddy's this weekend, and ever since hes telling me that with wifi on his battery will drain in a matter of hours, and while on the charger cant even keep up with the drain. He is also telling me that everything seems to be slow. I also removed some apps, but none that are important, just sprint bloat crap.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi.
I don't know if this is an issue with the phone's hardware or my service provider.
First my phone was working beautifully everything was fine until one day I accidently dropped my phone and after a couple of hours the data was playing up. But I don't think that dropping the phone would do such a thing.
Any suggestions?

Define horrible..
i've had somehow the same issue until ARHD 9.7.2 ..
when the phone was stock my 3G connection was blazing fast and reacted instantly ..
After flashing roms the connection become slower at reacting but the speed tests was still the same ..
however after i installed 9.7.2 the 3G speeds has been faster than ever for me!
I noticed that I have to reset the phone allot. If I am in an area with no reception for a while then go back to an area with reception it wont automatically reconnect and the LTE stays off sometimes. I have to reboot the phone.
The same problem is with signal strength too, it will not reconnect automatically sometimes. My 4G LTE does this allot. It does become annoying. I am afraid to get another phone in fear it will be worse then this one. I already had to exchange my phone and am running out of exchange days. (14 day period)
My first M8 I got on June 30 was slow, incredibly laggy and very buggy to the point it was nearly unusable. That first M8 had a mind of it's own. Maybe it was the first gen, I do not know. This replacement phone has been good to me minus the fact it sometimes drops calls and gets SUPER warm RANDOMLY even when ALL the apps are closed. The new phone is MUCH faster with the same settings and runs much smoother.
These connection issues are bugging the hell out of me, my iPhone never had this problem and would always reconnect fast. I do not like the S5 and I like the HTC but I do wonder about it's quality control and the quality of the internal components inside.
I hope its not hardware. I hope an update fixes the issue I'm constantly restarting.

good day - i have not had any of these issues with the m8 at all. has been snappy since day one. i have had little to no connectivity issues either. i have gone from way out in the country back into coverage, 2g snaps on immediately, then 3g, then closer to the city, 4g. my wife and i have a family plan and both devices switch within seconds of each other. different phone, she has the g2 but zero connectivity issues there too. we are in northern IL / Chicago market so it might be different. might be a dud phone? i do not think it has to do with hardware quality though. i went from an htc incredible that i had to replace a speaker in after 10 months but had no other issues with, to an incredible 2 that i had 0 issues with, to a S3 that was awesome, to a note 3 that was great, to the m8 which has been wonderful. my wife went from a blackberry that was crazy solid, to a S4 that was total CRAP, to the G2 which is amazing. if you can i would try and get a new one?

Hey, thank you for the response.
I went to T-Mobile today and they Factory Reset my phone.
I left to mobile and they told me to come back within 24 hours there is a failure
I ended up having a buggy phone with artifacts and flashes similar to an overclocked GPU. T-Mobile told me it might fix the phone.
Tomorrow, I am going back for my 2nd replacement. I like this phone, it works much better then my first phone but the connection problems are extreme and it starting to feel like faulty hardware. My first phone was full of lag, it was factory reset and lagged on the machine as well. The machine(a laptop) even had to be restarted.
Some guy had same issue and replacing sim card fix it. You should give it a try

I read (in the note 3 forums i think) that data dropouts were an inherent problem in android 4.4.2, and the code was fixed in version 4.4.3. Don't know if it applies to this phone as well, but if its an android system problem it could be.
This problem is really annoying happens too often.

Yeah it's happening more often that I would like but it's not a daily thing
Hi all
After connecting back to the internet when the Nexus has not been connected for an extended period of time, the nexus becomes nearly unresponsive / severely laggy for several minutes. During this time, the nexus receives every single notification that it normally would have received during the time it wasnt connected to the internet - which I think it mainly the reason to blame. The thing is, this issue definitely did not happen on KitKat. I noticed this immediately after upgrading to Lollipop last year and it was so bad I reverted back. I then recently upgraded to Marshmallow a couple weeks ago and it has the same issue. I really would love to stick with Marshmallow, but it's extremely frustrating to have to wait 2-5 minutes every time I pick up the tablet before I can start using it.
The alternative of course is to set wifi to stay always on which eliminates the problem (unless I actually power it down for extended periods). Of course using this setting eats through my battery and I'm 100% I had wifi set to only stay on "when plugged in only".
Has anyone else run into this issue? Better yet, any thoughts on how to prevent this from occurring?
Thanks!!
I have been using this gr8 piece of phone since few months but still I have noticed quite slow wifi tethering to laptop. When I test the speed on the phone it's very good, but sadly when I connect it to my mac the speed decreases very badly.
I used other android phone, it worked fine.
I am on 4.0.3 and using two users on the device.
Any clues
