I finally got rumrunner to work last night and several times today i noticed that data turns on by itself even though i have it turned off. It still shows as being off in my power toggle widget and in settings but i still see the little 4G icon at the top of the screen next to battery level. So i CANT turn off data without rebooting my phone. Anyone else have this problem?
No issues here. Are you still on the stock Rom?

Try clean flashing whatever ROM youre running. No issues here since exploit.

I'm still on stock rom. I dont want to install a custom rom until theres a stable one that i like. Plus, i take a lot of pictures with my phone and i want to make sure i can keep the htc camera app before i install something else. Maybe when CM releases a stable 4.3 rom I'll load that but I'm used to what i have.

Just flash a sense based rom. They are pretty much all stable... If you're referring to seeing users post problem it's the silent majority equation.
Do you have an app that requests data? I know sending a MMS and data off it will turn it on to send then turn off.

I would make a backup and flash andybones bonestock. It's as stable as they come and basically stock. See if you have the same issue on that. You can always just flash back.

I'll try that. And I haven't installed any new apps since running the exploit so I don't think it's an app issue. Is it possible that an old app was trying to keep data up but couldn't until my phone was rooted?
Does bonestock have the HTC camera app?

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 .

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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 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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

coming from cm10 nightlies, i want stock back. i miss some of the cool features that came with the phone.
what am i going to be missing from going from asop to stock?
what rom seems to be the most stable with decent battery life?
I have the exact opposite question, oddly enough. I see that CM10 nightlies are in a somewhat unstable state, as they are nightlies. I cant complain about their instabilities because of this, and that is fine. Some people say they are stable, Others tell me that since they are nightlies I shouldnt be using them as daily driver, and yet others (those posting in the thread) are having bugs and issues of the exact sort that I dont want to be encountering (like not being able to get wifi working, or google account sync issues).
So how did you figure out which nightly to put on your phone, especially when the preferred install method is full wipe/clean install?
I am also interested in the jellybean stock rom question. I dont really care for updates all the time but I'm growing tired of the random quirks and shortcomings of the tmobile stock firmware very quickly. For example, how the screen doesnt automatically turn on when you move the phone away from your face during a call, even though it does automatically turn off.

Does Xquizit include debloating? From reading the description, it looked like the goal was to remain as close to 100% stock as possible. I didnt see any mention of removal of the bloat that came with the phone.

Flashed latest CM10 nightly, must have been a corrupt download or something because now it flashes the "samsung" logo for a split second and then I get a black screen. I can get back into recovery, but I cant mount external SD card or internal storage. All it says is "usb device not recognized". All drivers are installed correctly, so I dont know wtf is going on. This requires further research, preferably after dinner.
I've been using the nightly CM10 for the past 3 weeks and I've had little to no issues. (And yes, I update daily.) The only reason I've considered going back to stock is for *possibly* better battery life. WiFi, camera, Google accounts sync, and everything have worked for me from the start.

So, I bought it on launch day and I'm getting desperate...
1) Wake screen after receiving notification (text etc). Pull down notification bar, back and multitask soft buttons grey out and phone will not respond. If I'm listening to music when this happens, the song keeps playing until I pull the battery or the phone reboots itself.
2) General lag is awful... More than half the time it has noticeable hangs switching apps or opening anything. I'm down to next to no apps that i've installed and have even tried removing just about everything I have with no improvement. Scrolling stutters about half the time as well. And the image you see with the camera open stutters badly also. Every once in a while it's buttery smooth for a few seconds then slows again.
Battery life is great and I love the form factor of this phone. I REALLY don't want to get rid of it but I'm at the point where it's more important to have a phone that's usable than have the extra screen size etc.
It's bone stock and I haven't tried a factory reset.
Suggestions?
Try the factory reset then go from there.

Or reflash the whole firmware using LGFlashTool. Might help.

Well, I did the factory reset and no lockups or reboots yet. It's still really laggy though :-/
Gonna give it a while longer but I'm thinking it's time to root. What's the "hot setup" for the tmo version of this phone?

Hot setup? Just use PurpleDrake.

I meant rom/mods. I've seen people mention 60fps mod for the camera but I was wondering if there was an international rom that worked with the d851 since we haven't seen any of the updates for this phone yet.

We have the only unlocked bootloader. There are no international roms. SkyDragon is a good rom tho.
