12 users posted that they had problems with their battery. Of those, 2 had more than 10 posts and none of them were able to provide conclusive evidence. Most of it was "SBC destroyed my battery". No pictures, no evidence, no proof.

SBC will shorten the life of your battery for sure (you'll have to buy a new one sooner), but there's been no proof that it actually causes the stuff mentioned here. Also, no one has even come close to taking into account that anything that's massed produced is bound to have units that are faulty and end up malfunctioning.

I've been using SBC since the day after I bought my Evo (It's easy to remember, I bought my Evo on New Year's Day), and I've never had so much as an inkling of a problem. I'm using it now, in fact, and I always will.

Netarchy 4.3.4 SBC-CFS-Havs-More or Tiamat (latestest version) w/SBC if I'm running aosp. All my nandroids have one of those two kernels. I highly recommend them to my friends who are just starting to hack their Evo.

The only results I've gotten are days like these: http://www.flickr.com/photos/absolutzerogi/5635211381/

Use SBC or don't use SBC, but don't buy into the hype either. People still truly believe that Elvis was abducted by aliens. Those people are idiots.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
There was a new post about someone's battery bulging just a few days ago. They're still popping up on occasion but no one cares anymore, people have already convinced themselves one way or another about it.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
The problem is... these are common problems even if you don't use SBC. Battery bulging? I have had that happen on quite a few dumb phones... that proves nothing.
[EVO 4G General] nate.spangler:
I used one for about a week. Then flashed a new rom which the kernel included didn't have sbc. Within 2 days my battery completely died. No physical damage just wouldn't power on anymore. I've been a little scared since and stayed away. We consider you an expert... what's your opinion???
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
Need more info, can't make judgement on such little info
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Flashing ROMs and kernels can sometimes give unexpected results, that's the risk you take and why every ROM thread has the typical disclaimer. I'd say 98% of the time you'll be fine though, its best to read into the dev threads for any reported problems, then decide for yourself if your ok with flashing something. As long as you can get into recovery your ok with any bootloops or bad flashes that have happened. Always remember to dos nandroid backup or have one on your sd to revert to if anything undesirable happens.
[EVO 4G General] fadimo305:
My brothers battery bulged also but he was not running an SBC kernel.plus if u have a an otterbox case and an advance sprinkler system u shouldn't worry aboutvyour house burning down :)
[EVO 4G General] fadimo305:
Then it was not SBC just like a normal battery DONT LEAVE YOUR PHONE CHARGING FOR TO LONG.also don't overheat the phone(playing gunbros while charging and overclocking)
[EVO 4G General] fierceeagle2003:
Thanks bro ;)
[EVO 4G General] fierceeagle2003:
Hey once again I'm sorry for bringing up the same stuff, but thank u for replys it was a big help ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BlackElvis79:
In wondering if there is any app for android like the Big Brother app for iphone. Its an app that takes a front facing picture anytime someone enter the wrong unlock pin. Its hella cool and i think has alarm and gps abilities also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
A close one is seek droid.. No front facing pics tho. But what's cool about that one above all the others is that GPS doesn't have to be on. You can turn GPS on remotely... do a data wipe.. see the call logs.. and of course, gps mapping.

Will a 32 sd card work with my rooted desire.?
[Desire General] Pitbull_Raven:
I don't see why not, but don't take my word for it.
[Desire General] Meaple:
I think with 32GB there are a few problems, not with the stock rom though (as far as I know).
[Desire General] tbaxter08700:
Well il try it and see. How do I copy ALL data of my sd to put on my new one as it only shows my pictures and such, no app or games. Thanks
[Desire General] dneill2006:
Using A 32GB Class 4, works fine.

Have a 2GB EXT4 on it which also works fine.
[Desire General] tbaxter08700:
Ok thanks for that mate. Any idea how to do the above question?
[Desire General] dneill2006:
The way I did it was;

Make a nadroid backup on the old card

Backup old card to PC

Partition the new card

Copy everything to the new card

Then restore nadroid backup

Should look like nothing has changed, apart from having more space ;)
[Desire General] mrtiggleworth:
i'm using a 32gb class 10 lexar and it's working a treat for me. sorted it out with gparted ready for my rom.

no problems here.
[Desire General] tbaxter08700:
Right I have no idea what's happening but I have formated the new sd and partioned it. When I copy all my files from my mid SD only some will copy. I mean it shows then all but then if I put it in my phone there not there and when I plug it back into the pc there not there. Very strange. And its important ones like the backups and ROMs. What can be up?
[Desire General] dneill2006:
Sounds like a fake china one from eBay...

They trick a smaller card (2GB for example) to look like a 32GB
[Desire General] tbaxter08700:
What scams. I ordered it from England tho? Any way to tell for sure? Thanks
[Desire General] mert_im:
Yea it works ;)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
There is a tool you can run something like h2testw that you can run on the whole card to see if there's any errors. I ran it on one I bought which was duff
[Desire General] GTRSkyR34:
Worked fine with 32GB ADATA class4 on stock pre-rooted Froyo.

I tried on GingerVilain, it's work, but it is slower of Froyo.
[Desire General] tbaxter08700:
Right cheers for all the replys will do some more testing without it partitioned and such to see if it is defo fake.
[Desire General] tbaxter08700:
Right I gave bought a new card which admittedly is a cheap one again although it says on there website that it is tested on h2testw and is fully functional. But I have had the same problems as before so decided to run h2testw on the card and it says the card is likely to be deffective. Is there anything else apart from it being a dodgy card again. I can't belitd sellers can say they are ok when there not.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Seeing this photo from an unboxing post. It shows the Sensation running Android 2.3.3. This means it does not have the WiFi security fix that is in v2.3.4.

To me, this is one more reason why I'm waiting till the Sensation is unlocked before buying one. Because I need to be able to quickly apply updates via custom ROM if the carriers are slow in releasing them.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Someone else mentioned in the DHD thread, that Google were fixing stuff server side also to encrypt things.

I'm sure we'll get an OTA soon enough if it needs to be fixed.

You should direct the question in Q&A
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevlars9:
Hey I have a question. I just rooted my device and flashed a stock rooted Tom / kernel.

However now it seems as though the recovery (CW) is not sticking? It would just boot into the.Google screen and just stay there, and now it just boots back into the bootloader. And clockwork is nowhere to be found. Any ideas? And thanks in advance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
The stock rom will overwrite recovery on boot - this is done automatically. To prevent this delete/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh

Sticking at the Google screen is an issue with the ROM/Kernel combination you've chosen. Re-flash CWM and re-flash your ROM. If you're interested what's "sticking" you can likely adb shell logcat and see what is hanging or failing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevlars9:
Thank-you. Will I have to repush the recovery and than rename the file? Or can I just edit the file the way my phone is now?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
If you're rooted as long as you can boot you can rename/delete the file. Otherwise just:

-Flash CWM

-Flash your ROM (or boot if you can boot without issue)

-Rename the script (/etc/install-recovery.sh - name it whatever you want) - you'll either need to remount rw or use something like root explorer to make it easier

-You'll likely need to flash CWM again. You can do this via Rom Manager or manually via fastboot

At this point it should "stick" in the sense that it will not be overwritten on boot any longer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevlars9:
One more question where is the location of the script that needs to.be edited in root explorer. As in the location.

Seriously thanks!

Hey everyone,

I just put the cyanogenmod 7.0.2.1 on my HTC EVO 4G about a month ago. At first it was working fine, now it will just randomly restart not while I'm ever using it, but when it is sitting idle it will just restart at odd times. Has anyone else had this issue?

Everything else with the ROM is working awesome. Please Help.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
No issues here, why don't you come up to date and flash the stable 7.0.3.1. Are you running any custom kernels by chance?

Here's the link to 7.0.3.1 just flash over your current rom and wipe dalvik-cache.

http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/update-cm-7.0.3.1-Supersonic-signed.zip
[EVO 4G General] beaukincade:
Oh thanks, been really busy with work, and hadn't had time to check for any updates. I appreciate the help very much. DL'ing the new ROM now.
[EVO 4G General] GatoL0c0:
Upgrade to the newer version. Maybe it'll help? Definitely clear cache & dalvik when you update.

Evo 4G / CM 7.0.3.1 - Tiamat 4.0.2 SBC / XDA Premium
[EVO 4G General] misterzeno:
I was running CM7 and went to a different Rom because of the reboots and been fine since. Tried all the usual things but phone would still freeze and reboot. Last one I was on was nightly 65. There are also a few threads around about the ROM bricking phones that it makes crash. As usual, nandroid if things don't work out.
[EVO 4G General] beaukincade:
What ROM did you go to?
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
That's non sense, bricking phones say whaaaaat. I've been running cyanogen roms since the G1 and I've never heard of cm bricking phone's. Don't let this person talk you out of cm lol.

If cm bricks your phone you're (1) an idiot, or (2) shouldn't be rooting your phone in the first place.
[EVO 4G General] beaukincade:
Yeah I like the CM7 ROM, but just can't take the restarts. I am going to upgrade to the newest stable release and see if that fixes it. I would like to stay with the CM7 if at all possible.
[EVO 4G General] beaukincade:
Swype

after the update I notice swype is gone, one of the stock features I like, anyone know where to find that again?
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Its probably still there you just have to open a text window long press the text box and hit "input method". Once you hit input method swipe will still be there if it was installed.
[EVO 4G General] beaukincade:
no its gone and won't let me use titanium backup to reinstall it either
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Do you have the latest titanium backup version? If you can't get it going the swype apk is all over the place lol. *wink wink*

Get the latest version (beta) from their site.

[EVO 4G General] misterzeno:
I have ran many different roms and CM7 was the ONLY one that caused my phone to reboot many times a day. A quick google search can show you threads about owners who had phones that bricked after running CM7. I never said it was gospel, I just dont need my phone rebooting multiple times during the day and it was way more often when I had wimax connected. CM is a great rom but its not the second coming of Android and not worth my phone rebooting during the day.

And I am running Smooth N Sexy V1.2 A sense ROM that looks like gingerbread.
[EVO 4G General] Deefburger:
Reboots

I've been through several ROMs now and the reboot problem appears to be not a ROM issue!

Here is the story. I had started with Baked Snack, very good, but I wanted more battery and to try CM and get away from Sprint messaging update nag.

CM worked great, I updated to 7, until the reboots started to happen during heavy use of Angry birds.

So I restored to early CM 6.x, and reboots continued off and on every few days, getting progressively worse.

So I tried Warm 2.2, same issues.

I went back to CM7 and still trouble.

I went to Fresh and It was fine for a week, and then on Friday, (I noticed that Friday was significant), reboots again.

So after a month of this the reboots are so bad that I can't use the phone. I called Sprint, de-provisioned the EVO, went back to my Palm, and then unrooted and went back to Stock ROM, but with no Cell access.

The phone is stable now. As long as it's off the Sprint Cellular network!!!

All of the reboots were related to cellular activity. Messages coming in, ads being updated, calls coming in, tower switching, roaming, or worse of all, no tower signals at all.

I will post back here if the phone remains stable without cellular. But all of the research I have done on the issue has pointed to cellular access. I am on wifi and all the apps and functions are working without issues so far. I am starting a dialog with HTC to see if there is a hardware problem.

The reboots also caused heat in the general area of the SD card...don't know what else is there but I do know the cellular antennas are on that side of the phone. Leaving the battery out all night, after an off state recharge would help stabilize the phone for a while, including cache wipes and factory resets.

But once the phone had been on for a while, or Friday morning would come, the reboots would continue.

I have been a computer nut for 30+years and I solve issues for a living. I strongly suspect the radio hardware or firmware as the culprit in this reboot issue. Every other account of this has had similar connections to the radio use.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Agreed 100% , I've been rooting since the day it first became available and never bricked my phone or got stuck in a boot loop by just flashing a "rom". If I get reboots its because I either flashed a kernel or a very unstable rom. It makes me laugh that you think "CM7" is causing the reboots. You say its CM7, I say it's idiots who probably don't follow directions.
[EVO 4G General] misterzeno:
Dude its all good, no need to call anyone an idots because we all can have different experiences. Any ROM thread in the dev section has reboot posts some have resolutions, some go to another rom and some seem to be hardware issues. Just like you have been rooting since day one like I have doesnt mean that CM7 is NOT causing my phone to reboot when no other ROM does not.

Your welcome for me allowing me brighten up your day by making you laugh, dont take your personal experiences and spread them across every user like its the ONLY experience.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Im not saying cm roms make sense look like windows 95 lol, and I also don't think cm roms would keep me from jumping ship to a 4.3" iPhone 5 neither. I'm simply saying you're pointing the finger at cm being the cause I'm saying imo its 95% user error that's all. When do you hear of experienced users complain of cm (stable) causing reboots or boot loops? Don't worry ill wait....
[EVO 4G General] misterzeno:
Once more sir, I spoke from my own personal experience. Plain and simple CM7 was causing my EVO to reboot, and especially when it was on wimax or multitasking. Even from a clean install without restoring anything except for logging into google on the device. I spent 4 days troubleshooting the issue including trying different versions and nightlies. Oh yea..and before you ask the temps were normal on the device no higher than any other time.

But yet again another know it all here on XDA. Dam i must be dumb as **** to been flashing my phone since the froyo root method was released and never had another ROM give me that type of issue. The ROM is not worth me going back to the stock RUU and swapping hardware to since that seemed to be the the last variable after my troubleshooting. Not a big ****ing deal...my phone didnt agree with CM7 like I have seen a small number of other users out there. You dont see me around ROM threads always *****ing and moaning about issues when resolutions or known issues are posted on the first page or doing any other nonsense that I will guess others on here are doing that you may be referring to.

Obvious you are one of those XDA "experienced pros" that are quick think someone has no idea what they are doing with their phone. Post count doesnt mean everything bro.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
You've been flashing since froyo I've been flashing since 1.5 G1 hmmmmm let me think. I will say this though :-)
[EVO 4G General] misterzeno:
You win, you obviously have the bigger nerd e peen. I should go back to a flip phone. *Bowing to phone gawd*

You wouldn't be as much as an ass if you happen to suggest ONE resolution to the rebooting.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I did suggest one my good man, I simply pointed him to a stable 7.0.3.1 which has a **** ton of commits (fixes) since the version he's running (7.0.2). I haven't seen him come back in here with more reboot issues since 0_o
[EVO 4G General] misterzeno:
Tried that build...same results for my phone. Next suggestion god.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Lol funny! Open up a thread post your issues in Q&A and we'll help you. Try different recovery, make sure you have all the latest prl, radios, wimax etc, start from scratch fresh flash (wipe everything) the list goes on. I don't consider my self a "dev" but I do have some skills/knowledge to help others. If you're serious about getting to the bottom of this why don't you turn off phone, start up adb while your phone is plugged via usb, and run a logcat. The logcat will tell us exactly what's causing the reboots.
[EVO 4G General] js2393:
misterzeno, you're not the only one. I've had to resort back to stock Sense (although rooted) to prevent the reboots I assume are caused by CM7. Like someone previously mentioned, this has not always been a problem. I ran CM6 with no problem for months and then around the time CM7 came out, I updated, and ever since then I've been having reboot problems on ALL ROMs, but I use stock because I rarely get reboots even though they still occur.

As for the guy with the massive e-pen**, stfu because you're defending of CM7 as being absolutely perfect is not helping anyone. Clearly, there's something strange going on if multiple people are having problems.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Lol yeah OK Mr. 16 post, you shouldn't be allowed to give your opinion until you hit 100 post. I never said it was perfect I just said the people having issues/complaining are inexperienced like yourself (this is so douche bag ish) lol. Have fun getting that post count up I'm not responding to you anymore until you hit 100. Now go get that post count up jr
[EVO 4G General] misterzeno:
All good like I said before man, the rom is nice but its just not worth my time. I simply said I had the reboot issues and READ about users having coincidences of bricked phones after reboots. Im not going around bashing CM7 on here or any other forum, the ROM is fast and great to run AOSP on my evo but I already felt like I spent enough time troubleshooting the issue. I tried everything you listed except logcat and I am not going back to CM at this time. No need to be an ass when initially responding to people or assuming they are just dam clueless.
[EVO 4G General] misterzeno:
Wow, really resorting to the old post count dbaggery. smh
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
That wasn't for you it was for the guy above you.

[EVO 4G General] js2393:
Some of us don't live on the internet. And either way, you're resorting to "post count dbaggery" regardless of who you're comments are directed toward.

Here's a perfect example of how post count =/= intelligence/experience: I am actually a computer programmer, although I don't develop for Android (yet), so I have a bit of an idea of what I'm talking about.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Once again cool story bro. Anything else?
[EVO 4G General] js2393:
You tell me. Any more non helpful comments for us having issues with our EVOs?
[EVO 4G General] js2393:
My situation is very similar, if not the same. I used to have no issues with ROMs, but ever since I ran games (particularly Angry Birds and Words with Friends) on CM7 I started having reboot issues. Now, no matter what ROM I'm on, my phone reboots randomly and gets hot occasionally. I used to think it was an overheating problem, but the other day it rebooted and it was cool and idle.

I'm beginning to think it's a hardware-related problem because I've done full wipes, started from scratch (as in not restoring saved data for apps), resorted to the default Sense ROMs, etc. with no luck
[EVO 4G General] Deefburger:
Update Reboots

Update:

Stock ROM with no cellular access is still rebooting. All I did was play Angry Birds until it wrote to the SD, then Bang! Reboots.

There is a problem with heat or something near or related to the SD card slot. The Angry Birds test was to run the memory and processor and the SD card. Angry Birds stores it's data on the SD.
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Could be a bad SD card also. Or a bad partition. I've noticed if u wipe it SD card and repartition it that it fixes that problem. Also class of SD card plays a part if using apps2sd due to read and write speeds. Also there is a thread in dev section on defraging ur SD card and that helps alot also. Don't think its rom specific. I run cm7 and gf runs warm 2.2 both have themes on top and both get random reboots at times. Also has alot to do with kernal and which governor ur running and what low and high end speed ur processors set to. Just my 2 cents. Btw my post counts is higher than most so does that make my comments mean something.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Yes your comments mean something, you make a mean colored Facebook that I use lol.

[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
If your phone reboots on any rom, you know, it could be the phone. Evo's are known to have that problem.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yeah, I had that problem. Started out appearing to be a heat issue then just got to the point where any 'slightly' taxing proccess would do it. Nothing worked. Granted, might not be the issue of the OP ... but food for thought...

And, Dirk, stop being such a ****. :p

[EVO 4G General] q711179:
I am also having the reboot problem, and don't think it is the ROM. I am most always on CM7 but had the same problem, in fact worse while briefly on Fresh to update my radio and PRL. I have tried various kernels as well and same goes for varying number of wipes before flashing ROM and kernels. I agree that anything taxing for the phone will set the bootloop off and the phone may or may not be warm. Once it starts it is best to just wait and then not use the phone except for the basics ie; small usage apps or perhaps a phone call.

Just today I had the phone on CM7 nightly 83 with Tiamat 4.0.3 and the phone worked well all night with minimum use, in fact I had 71% battery remaining with the radio on all night (I work nights) for 13 hours, with no reboots. Then on the way home, gave g-talk video a go and reboot after 4 or 5 minutes.

Later today I will try a partition of the SD card and see if that helps.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
