Hello all. Kinda new here, but I've been flashing my hero with roms from here for a while now. My latest attempt at a good rom is the VillainROM 12.0.0, this is my first time with a VillainROM, and I don't know if this bug exists in previous versions. In my opinion it is a very minor issue, but maybe not for someone else. I'm not a developer, so I don't know what could be causing it, and I don't know if I should be reporting bugs on the VillainROM site, or here, so I'm going to start here...
I downloaded the ROM from the VillainROM12.0.0 thread...
Install was flawless, worked perfectly.
The ROM runs extremely well in all functions, so no complaints there.
The only issue is a slight (10+ seconds) hang when I press the power button to turn on the screen to unlock it and the WiFi connection has timed out. Other ROMs I've used, including the stock ROM would come out of this sleep mode, and then try to reconnect to the WiFi, and they've done so with flawless success. However, this ROM does not, at least not for a minute or so.
This is how I can reproduce the problem, and it takes a while. I usually plug my phone into a charger at night and let it charge over night, and unplug it in the morning to head off to work or whatever. Once the screen turns on on its own after the external power source is disconnected (which all ROMs have done) the screen is unresponsive, and all buttons are unresponsive. The screen remains lit up on the lock screen stuck for at least 10 seconds, then goes black, then pressing the power button to turn the screen back on will restore the phone to an unlocked state (assuming it remembered the swipe action from when the screen was locked and stuck) but takes about another 5 seconds to come back on. This only happens if I have the WiFi radio on while the phone is sitting idle for an extended period of time (long enough for the radio to automatically go into its sleep mode perhaps?).
Here's the info from my phone...
Firmware Version: VillainROM9.0.0
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-ninpo-freqtwk{AT}titan-dirty-b7a296faninpo{AT}titan #39
Build Number: VillainROM12.0.0
Software Number: 3.32.405.1
Browser Version: 3.1
I'm not sure if this is just a fluke, if I should reflash and see if the problem persists. Anyone else able to reproduce this?
Again, if this is the wrong forum, please feel free to move it, and thanks XDA, this site is an awesome resource!
PS... I had to replace the at sign with {AT} in the Kernel Version due to Forum restrictions (It thinks it's an outside URL and I'm too green to be able to do that...)...
Are you running setCPU or OC Widget?
It look likes the lower CPU frequency is too low. Open SetCPU or Overclock Widget and increase it a little.
If you use profiles, in SetCPU:
> Check if you have a "Sleep Profile"
> Check if its frequences are too low.
> If yes, increase it.
It normaly happens when you have a 19Mhz - 2XXMhz on-demand sleep profile.
Increasing that 2XXMhz to 3XX or 4XX may solve the issue.
If not, try to reflash, or use VillainROM IRC at their website.
First your radio is a bit old. Try upgrading to the latest radio from here:
http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=323
Second, especially regarding the wakeup issues, try my kernel for VR12 from here:
http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=1928
It has no wake-up problems even @ 691/160 (what I used) as well as better battery life and performance....
Turn up your minimum set cpu speed.

Pulser has no problems waking up at 19MHz with my kernel. Stable Min/Max frequencies are unique to each phone it has nothing to do with the kernel.
In theory I agree with you completely. But in practice with each kernel I get a different wakeup "performance" using the exact same frequencies. I always prefer setting the min to 160Mhz, but like many many others, in most kernels - including your kernel which comes with VR12 I get heavy wakeup issues which disappear only @ min 480. In other kernels (such as those by Radu) these wakeup issues still exist but are less pronounced (very very rare).
For me and others which have given my kernel a shot there have been no wake up issues @ min 160Mhz. Battery life and responsiveness also improved according to those who have tried my kernel (and optimizations).
BTW "my" kernel is just the HTC official kernel release + OC enable, so its more HTC's kernel than mine.
Like you said it is device dependent, ROM dependent, user dependent, everything.... I am just saying that until now I have not gotten any negative feedback on my kernel, and I think people should give it a shot and decide for themselves. Hopefully they will also be kind enough to share their experiences with me, so if there are problems I can try to fix them.
Thank you all for the suggestions. I do not use any OC utilities, it's the ROM as it was when I downloaded it. Barely any applications installed (some games, auto task killer, handcent...).
I've updated the radio to a version I found in a SenseHero 2.1 thread, but that radio broke MMS and some other data network features. I am in the US, on AT&T (I know, no 3G, but I'm ok with that ), will the radios listed work propperly on this network?
I was also able to reproduce the hanging issue by turning on the WiFi, browsing around the Market, and then exiting the market and turing off the WiFi. It seems that during the switch to the mobile network from WiFi is when something funky happens. Is there a way to get logs to show what might be going on?
First of all try the newest radio from here:
http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=323
If 6.35.15.14 does not work well for you, try either 6.35.15.11 or 6.35.15.01 - If I am not mistaken they are all from the latest HTC release from different parts of the world, so one of them should work well for you.
If you want to get a log for the problem, use the adb logcat. Another simpler option to try and isolate the problem is check if reflashing the ROM (after a backup and a full wipe) solves the problem. Also check if the problem exists in other ROMs.
I have flashed the radio with the latest from the site as suggested (6.35.15.01 was no good when I flashed with that one before, caused all kinds of problems with MMS/SMS, and other network fuctions, but I didn't try that radio with the VillainROM). MMS and such still work, so that is good. I'm going to try to reproduce the other issue tonight, but that may have fixed the issue... I'll update the thread with the results.
Looks like the new radio did not solve the problem. Is the next step the new Kernel?
Sorry for the long delay in response...
The problem is still happening. I have now flashed with a different ROM (Chronos Droid 2.1.2) and the problem persists. However, the lockup doesn't seem to be as bad... Am I the only one with this problem? Should I change my wireless network settings to GSM only? Or leave it on Auto? I'll play around with that and see what happens. It just seems that changing from the mobile network to the WiFi network (and vise versa) is when the problem happens...
Nope, that didn't help. When I went to GSM only, I had no data network connection, and when I went to WCDMA only I had no connection at all. On GSM/WCDMA Only I have both... I wonder if it is something with this phone and the .29 kernel? But then wouldn't everyone here have this problem?
I have this issue too, using ninpo's kernel. I am going to increase my min freq but it's already at 3xx - fingers x'd
I don't see this being a kernel issue, I have a feeling its just a wifi issue on the new rom bases.

Please let me know what happens.
I did not have these problems using the SenseHero ROMs (older Kernel), only Villain and now Chronos... :S I don't use any OC apps, just leave it all stock from the ROM. If I use one and increase the speed at sleep, (probably an obvious answer) will this drain the battery faster?
Still hanging. Does this have anything to do with wifi's android default sleep behaviour?
I'm having all kinds of lag issues when network queries are starting, especially during MMS/SMS operations. Could be a Handcent update, but the default messager thinger is also quite slow. I'm tempted to go back to an older ROM, this is getting frustrating...
So I hve been going nuts trying to figure out why my phone keeps rebooting. I'm in another country so getting a replacement isn't an option for me and it seems it hasn't helped some people anyways (After a while it comes back).
THe only constant I see is that the CPU usage after maybe 30 seconds after the phone comes on stays at 95-100% all the time. Only thing that makes sense is that the phone is shutting itself down before it melts down.
This kinda makes sense since it seems the more I try to do the more random the reboots become.....and battery life is beyond horrible. I did the steps to increase battery life and battery life is making this phone virtually unusable off AC power (EXample: Leaving from my Brother in laws apartment and travelling 10 floors down to my car results in 89% battery left. Phone is dead within the hour if i use it and 3 or 4 if leave it idling.
I tried killing all the tasks that te phone starts up with but nothing change the CPU usage. I thought maybe it was the kernel but I flashed the latest one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...RI+version+PRL [the undervolted version]. Not sure if that would help (THe info in this forums is so scattered and disorganized it makes my head spin.....and I'm a techie).
Also try flashing the combo package of the latest radio, PRI, NV etc and that doesn't work also....CPU usage is still through the roof.
I just got this a few days ago. I'm currently on:
HBoot 2.10 [s-off]
H/W 0004
Basband 2.15.00.11.19 [I was on this before I was rooted]
Kernel version 2.6.32.27-SBC-net-4.2.2-less-havs [email protected] #19 [Just flashed] ROM myn's Warm TwoPointTwo 9RLS 4)
Software: 3.3-.651.3
PRI Version: 1.90_0003
PRL Version: 60662
Can I get some help from people smarter then me. I'm at the end of my rope and I'm not convinced a handset swap is going to fix my issue esp. since this was BNIB straight from Sprint and other people who've had this issue and had a new phone seem to somehow have it later.
If i leave it alone it will reboot on its own eventually. If i switch from airport to turning on the cell data, reboot, turning on wifi......reboot, toggling 4g.......reboot, After a few web page searches......reboot, open up an application.....reboot.
This isn't temperature related as far as I can tell.....The app I have monitoring temp has seen this happen at 25 degrees and sometimes less.
PLEASE HELP
Ok.. firs tthings first..
when your phone is unstable and rebooting, dont use an undervolt kernel. Undervolt kernels provide less power to the CPU at set frequencies.
In my case, I discovered undervolting CAUSED reboots, because my phone couldnt handle anything under 950mv... there is such a range in the quality of the components that theres no way to always say yes, undervolting this much will work with every phone.
so 1: Use stock kernel ( for whatever rom your using.. also use a well established rom, not one of the 'hey, last night i got bored and made this' ones.. it may work, but it may be so buggy its what is causing your crash )
2: do a fresh install. run the phone with 0 apps added, see if it has the same issue. If it does, may be the phone itself. If it doesnt, its one of your apps.. install one at a time, and see if it improves.
and you made two posts why?
Didn't know they would move it. Posted in the wrong forum and they moved it as well. lOL. My bad.
I've been on a stock kernel up until I started trying different kernels. I will try the other one then.
My CPU usage is the problem I think. I have both memoryusage and system monitor and both report the same thing.....95-100% usage constantly. If I could resolve that then maybe my phone would work properly.

Hi, Android folks !
I just bought HTC Desire (seems like branded/locked by our local operator), rooted with Unrevoked, formatted 32GB SD card 1GB Ext3 + FAT (on SuSE Linux), and installed RC Mix S V1.4 (RCMixS_v1.4_A2SD+_BravoHboot).
System is very fast and stable, however, I have two major issues which render this phone almost unusable.
1) WiFi is not able to connect to any router, even located few meters next to me. Looks like WiFi doesn't work at all. I installed Blade WiFi Fixer, it didn't helped. Another "Fixer" also did nothing.
2) Battery drain is enormously HUGE. Quite interesting - during idle time battery drain is on acceptable level. For example, during night battery level dropped 10%. However, calling wipes out battery almost instantly. Just several phone calls (may be 15 - 20 min total) dropped battery level from 97% to 30%!
3) Ad-hoc network are not visible at all. Is this trick will make them work?
/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = HTCG1Default
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0
Before installing RCMix 1.4, I did factory reset, wiped out cache partition and Dalvik cache. I did not made GoldCard, however, and from the posts seen on this forum looks like it is not necessary.
PS. Before RCMix, I tried LeeDroiD 3.06. In spite of flashing zipalign first (before flashing LeeDroiD ROM), it bricked my phone - nothing happened beyond HTC screen.
Anyone can suggest me what to do next?
Well firstly, RCMix S is Sense and Sense is a battery drain. Secondly, change the wifi channel to auto on your router.
Firstly Sense is NOT a battery drain. I've lost 6% on idle in the last 8 hours on RCMix 1.5. That's on par with what I was getting with Oxygen.
Can you post what radio you have, as Gingerbread based ROM's seem to prefer the latest two, I believe they are optimised/tweaked to work better (most recent being 5.17.05.23)

It was set so from the beginning.
I have upgraded to baseband radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 as Cactus42 suggested.
There definitely one big improvement - I'm was able to connect to our WiFi (it wasn't possible at all before upgrade).
Unfortunately, one big issue remaining - connection to WiFi isn't stable, it dropping for no apparent reason in spite of very good signal level (iPhone works with the same WiFi without any problems at much larger distance). In Android settings WiFi sleep is set to 15 min.
Another problem - HTC launcher always crashes at startup, and after some time re-launches and everything seem to be OK. I don' use animated (live) wallpepers, just stock black colored picture.
Is anything else I'm being missing ?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).

If you're on RCMix 1.4 (I'm on 1.5 so slightly different set of problems) you can flash the RIL for the 5.17.05.23 radio:
http://www.multiupload.com/YXBZO2UH3R
Note - it contains the Adreno200 drivers we're using on RCMix 1.5 but as 1.4 already has them reflashing won't make a difference, also RIL's have been known to break the phone signal after screen lock, if that happens you'd need to reflash the ROM over the top again. The reason I've put this one up is because it's the only RIL I've ever had work and am using it now.
This was created by Baadnewz for InsertCoin, not me. I'im just re-uploading it as it's gone from his site.
This patch from LeeDroid forum - "Alternate WPA Supplicant - enable Ad-Hoc" (wpa_adhoc-signed.zip) - can it be flashed with RCMix S ?
RCMix S 1.5 Issues
I am sorry to use this thread but i also have some issues on the RCMix 1.5
- The first time i launch one app (ex: gallery, music, etc). This app close automatically, the second time works!
- The Locker rarely appear, i can just see my wallpaper and the drag bar. (After trying several times it works)
- If i try to create a mms, nothing appears to send, and when i try to send i get: ''messages stops.....force close..".
*Sorry my VERY BAD English, i am Portuguese and only comfortable reading, not writing.
Hi all!
Since a few months ago, my Desire has been having two major issues:
- Huge battery drain in 2 to 5h time (unable to identify application responsible, powertutor reports android system or os - can't remember -, while built-in battery usage monitor reports either display or cell standby - the second appears especially when the phone is idle and supposedly sleeping). The few times I enabled airplane mode, I got double battery time, though it doesn't come close to former normal battery time.
- 3G connectivity loss, when going through no signal areas or when the phone is forced to switch between GPRS and 3G and vice-versa.
Regarding the second issue, I've already tried to enable GSM (auto-PRL) and the result is practically the same as having 3G enabled. Only factory resetting after enabling the former setting and choosing GPRS only, in Settings works in no signal downtime.
Nothing I've tried takes care of the battery draining issue, even hard-resets. I've already flashed different roms from Eclair to Gingerbread, from unrooted stock to root stock-based: no real change.
So after this rambling, my question what is more likely either some hardware malfunction or a software bug in the android system or in some application?
Anyway, I'll try to use systempanel or watchdog to try pinpointing the culprit.
Thank you.
Flash latest radio
Also worth thinking about the kernel, I had a similar thing to you, and it was because I flashed a different kernel to the one packaged with the rom.
I would also try a full wipe, ie cache, data, system etc. in recovery and installing something clean eg oxygen rom.
The suggestion above about the radio is definitely worth trying also I would check that your current ril is compatible with your radio version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902752
Hello! Sorry for not answering sooner.
I have been running the latest radio for at least one month, and it hasn't changed that much the issue.
Also, at some point, I did try another kernel, having seen that suggestion elsewhere in the forums. It also didn't change much.
Finally, I have also tried flashing and using the clean oxygen gingerbread rom. The battery time improved a bit, but didn't go back to normal.
Still, after seeing the results of systempanel monitoring, I will try flashing oxygen rom again because, perhaps with 2.3.4, whatever the issue is, it might have been fixed.
Try to calibrate your battery:
1.) Load phone till full when on
2.) Turn off and load to green led
3.) Turn completely on, turn off and load until green led appears
4.) Boot into recovery, wipe battery stats and now use phone as normal
No warranty for any damage.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Did it start when you flashed something new?
Hello!
That is possible. However, I have flashed and formated the phone many times since then and there has been no change.
Also, I have been monitoring the cpu usage through systempanel as suggested in some other threads, throughout the last weeks and in average, there's no installed application going further than 10% cpu usage consistently. When seeing the history of usage, at the top I have the system process, which has an average consumption of 0.2% over one week.
So, the phone seems to be working normally, but when using the currentwidget app to see the current drawn from the battety in each instant, at the best I get 50-70 mA, at the worst I get 700-800 mA. On average, 300-500 mA consistently.
I think something is draining the battery consistently much more than normal and also causing the baseband or the radio subsystem to crash, when switching from 2G to 3G or vice-versa.
I have done everything suggested in this thread, except for flashing a new clean oxygen rom and I've got no result.
What could be causing this: some hardware problem?
Thank you for your patience.
Maybe try the battery in someone else's desire, that you know functions ok, and their battery in yours? Perhaps the battery is dying?
Since I haven't been able to find anyone with an HTC Desire and I can't be certain if the problem is with the battery itself, I'll just send my Desire for repair to HTC.
Hopefully, they'll find and solve whatever the problem is.
Thank you all, anyways.
I have fulmics 5.3 , kernel 3.4.0., D855 version.
Day before yesterday I started losing signal for no apparent reason. This never happened before. I can't make a call without dropping signal (there is little reloading icon on the bars). One more thing I noticed is that when an app is opened (standard messaging app , fb messenger app ) app somewhat flickers when signal problem happens. Like it loses all the things inside the app frame like texts, contacts in fb messenger etc. Sometimes signal "holds" for two minutes and sometimes it doesn't last for 20 seconds.
So far I tried turning airplane mode on and off, restarting , resetting the sim card, I tested the phone with another sim card and tested my sim card in another phone (it's good). Also I tried changing from lte , gsm/wcdma , gsm only but with no luck.
Can someone help me because this is now a big problem. Should I try to do the fresh ROM install? I didn't installed or changed anything in last few days...
Update the ROM to the latest build and test it again, actually Fulmics is running v6.9.
I will do that today. The weird part is that I had version 5.3 for like maybe 6 months and this just started happening now.
Same here.
It started doing that two days ago (2017-02-28)
Rom 5.3 build MRA58K/Kernel 3.4.0-perf-gdcg0dd0/Security patch 2016-03-01
It seems it's doing that only when the battery is under 50% tho'... or when the phone gets hot / which it does when it starts loosing signal.
