1 is probably not a good idea, since sometimes Airplane mode sticks.

2 has nothing to do with saving battery, but okay..

3a does nothing if there is no network connection (assuming sanely written programs)

3b is stupid and shouldn't ever be used.

You want to save battery? Turn off wifi when the screen goes off. You can do this automatically with Setting Profile Lite or Tasker, probably some others. I've found that the wifi sleep setting doesn't do anything for me, I can continue to ping the NC for 10+ minutes after the screen goes off so clearly the wifi is still up.

And watch Spare Parts partial wake locks and see if you have any misbehaving apps. I find that Maps with Latitude enabled misbehaves without a network connection and constantly is trying to update or something, so I cleared data on Maps to get out of Latitude on that device. CPUSpy will also show you how much deep sleep is ongoing.

The NC is going to use at least 10%/hr at low backlight doing simple tasks, I've seen it use up to 25% overclocked playing games.

While asleep it uses about 1% every 3-4 hours. Could probably do even better if you don't have a boatload of apps and widgets like I do.
[Nook Color General] madjsp:
Grab "Where's my Droid's Power" or whatever the application is called, and see where all the power is going.

He said the battery widget is to see if it is asleep, and see what the consumption is like.
[Nook Color General] sebanoel:
Hello,

You are right about battery logging.

i have to test the two applications you mention both:

1. "And watch Spare Parts partial wake locks and see if you have any misbehaving app"

2. "Where's my droid power".
[Desire HD General] libero4ever:
Hi, I have a problem with my htc hd desire.

I made ​​the release to get root permissions. I followed the procedure that I found on forums and everything was successful.

After a few hours from the mouth of the terminal has started to shut itself off (it goes off does not restart) I tried different roms but nothing to change the same problem. This problem has already happened to me ever after the release I put the original fw and I sent the phone for repair. After a few days I was sent and it worked, but after he had again made ​​the release appeared again the same problem.

I would like to know why this happens and if you can fix without sending back the phone for repair.

Thank you for your attention

Hi Everyone

I was hoping someone would be able to help me out as I’m a total Noob!

I have an HTC Desire on the Orange network in the UK. I started to get a few problems with my phone shutting down and restarting, my GF’s brother had been recommending that I root and flash a different rom for a while, and seeing as he has a Desire on the T-Mobile network and had never had any trouble with rooting his phone or any of the roms he used I decided to give it a shot.

I followed everything in Linkslovesandroid’s noob thread found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084

I first tried CyanogenMod7 on GF’s brother’s recommendation, worked ok for a bit but I had problems with constant shutting down and restarting over and over again, is this called bootlooping? The only way to stop it was to remove the battery, even then it was no guarantee. Other things were going wrong like the screen freezing, certain buttons were unpressable etc.

I gave my phone to him and he couldn’t explain why such weird things were happening as his Desire experienced no problems at all. He suggested I try something different like GingerVillain. GV never loaded or booted up for me, I wiped data / factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, installed zip from SD, the rom would then install okay but when I rebooted the phone never ever got past the Alpha Rev S-off screen. This happened when I tried to install GV 2.5 and 2.6, I see that 2.7 has just been released but don’t see the point in trying seeing as the other 2 versions wouldn’t work.

I then tried Oxygen, again, worked ok for a while but started giving me random shut downs and restarts. Once I was driving down the motor way using sat nav software and the phone just shut down! I had to find somewhere to pull over to restart the sat nav software and again it restarted itself! Lol!

One day my phone went into an endless bootloop, no matter how many times I took the battery out the phone just wouldn’t stay on, I had to flash a new rom just to get the phone to fully boot up! I went back to CM7 but have the same old problems, so now I’m using MIUI and I’m still getting shutdowns!

What is wrong with my phone? If anyone has any ideas what I might’ve done wrong, or whats causing problems please offer your suggestions! I don’t really like the sense Roms, I’d like to try GingerVillain but I could never get it to install! I just need my phone to be stable enough to know I can send an SMS to someone without it restarting! If you need to know about Kernels or radios or anything please just ask me (and tell me where I can find out!) Like I said, I’m a noob when it comes to phones!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynard80:
Same kind of problems here. Random restarts (no shutdowns) on various roms, including the original stock froyo. Happens mostly while installing stuff from the market.

Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Sounds like the motherboard is faulty/hardware error. Send back to repair. Usually the kernel can cause problems and OCing (restarting), but you said, that it happens randomly on every ROM, so that means it is more likely a hardware problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonAlbion:
I had this too, same symptoms sent it back to HTC, duff motherboard, back in 14 days and all working fine.

Only thing is it got reset to original contract so had to pay to unlock it and then root etc.

But well worth it!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Hi Guys

Thanks for your replies so far!

So is it likely that my motherboard was faulty all along? I used to get random restarts sometimes when I was on the sense that came pre-installed on the phone, but nowhere near as often as I get now I've rooted and flashed new roms.

Is it possible that I've damaged it in some way? That could get me in some trouble because when I rooted I'd have voided my warranty, if I send it back to Orange as faulty now they'll know and could pretty much tell me tough luck!

I've heard you can unroot and put your phone back to how it was, but they'd still be able to tell wouldn't they?

Has anyone ever sent a phone back for repair through Orange UK?

Thanks again for your responses so far guys!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynard80:
For me it turned out that the SD card was corrupt in some way. Repartitioned and reformatted it, and this does help for now. Might try that first, before sending into repair.

Good luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
I agree. If you have system files on your SD and if the SD gets corrupted you might get the result you've described.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
That's interesting, the other night when I had such a severe bootloop that I had to flash a new rom just to get the phone to fully boot up, it only booted after I'd removed the SD card.

To begin with I was very happy because I thought I'd solved the problem and all I'd need was to buy a new SD card, however a short while later it happened again with no SD card inside at all!

I decided to give Ginger Villain another go hoping that removing the SD card after "install zip from SD card > reboot" would allow it to boot up, it didn't. Never got past the alpha rev screen.

How will I know if I have system files on the SD card? Should I maybe try the G-Parted stage of the noob guide again to reformat the card and create the ext-4 partition?

Thanks again for your time and help by the way!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
If your rom requires an sd-ext partition than it stores system files on the SD. Try a rom that doesn't require that. I would go as far as bringing the phone to stock just to verify if it's the phone or the SD. Bringing it back to stock is a requirement for you to return it for servicing if you realize that it's a problem with the phone not the SD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Hi Paul, is it only stock roms that don't store system files on the SD or can you recommend a rom that doesn't require an ext partition as I'm not too sure what I'm looking for? I realise that I'll have to unroot before I can return the handset but if there's another custom rom out there I can test before unrooting that'd be good!

However, if you fully recommend returning the phone to stock to test then that's what I'll do!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
This ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896213 doesn't require SD for system files.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynard80:
I'd first try the complete stock rom with a completely formatted SD card. You can be completely sure that there isn't a software problem with a custom rom.

If this doesn't work, try replacing the SD card. This did help for me.

If still no succes, send it for repairs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Thanks for linking me to that rom.

I did a bit of reading about roms that use ext sd partitions and have so far concluded that its for A2SD so an entire app can be run from the sd card instead of internal memory.

So anyway, I've just installed the Redux rom you linked me to that doesn't store sytem files on the sd, first 2 boots had a sudden shutdown and restart! I'm on the 3rd boot now, it's holding okay but I need to put it through its paces to see how long it can go and what sort of performance it will allow before it starts shutting down on me!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Hi Reynard. If the Redux rom I've just flashed (less than 10 minutes ago) doesn't use the sd for system files, then if it keeps rebooting on me would that diagnose a faulty motherboard as reliably as using a stock rom?

I'm gonna unroot and flash a stock rom soon anyway, that way I can be sure before I send it back to Orange for repair, although apparently there isn't an official Orange UK stock rom available so I'm just gonna have to get as close as I can and hope they don't notice!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
Probably there is a ROM just that it hasn't been leaked so I hope you won't get in trouble.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Haha! Me too!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Dayamn! I didn't have a reboot all day on Redux, got home from work and installed Sygic sat nav software and the phone rebooted 3 times just while downloading the map! I had to remove the battery once as well.

Decided I'd just test Google maps navigation while driving to pick up the Mrs from work and it shut down on me :mad:

If I can get hold of another sd card to test I'll see if it makes a difference, but there's not really a lot more I can do now other than unroot and send it back to Orange. The strange thing is that it never used to reboot half as much on the stock rom the phone came with, and it never did it while I was sat nav'ing ever. It just used to happen randomly when I was texting or web browsing. Odd.

Where might be the best place to find the closest to stock rom for Desire Orange UK?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Just wanted to update you all.

I found my original SD card that came with the phone, I fully formatted it and then did a completely fresh install of Redux and performed the same tests and got the same results. Still crashed and rebooted! So that tells me it's the phone and not the card!

I'll be restoring to stock and calling Orange tomorrow to get a replacement / repair.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out along the way, your time and effort is very much appreciated!

Hi guys,

I made a goldcard and tried installing the stock ruu, it seemed to work but when I hold vol down and power on it still says:

AlphaRev

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT 6.93.1002

I read on the Alpharev website that recent versions of Alpharev aren't overwritten by stock ruu's hboot so it must first be downgraded. I used android flasher to flash the Alpharev downgrader, then it just froze at the "why so serious" screen. I was advised to flash the stock bravo hboot found on the alpharev website, which I did and then I was finally able to install the ruu. Obviously I've done something wrong and I'm guessing its flashing the stock bravo hboot...

Would it be okay to use android flasher again to run just the downgrader image, and then using fastboot flash the ruu again?

Any ideas? I don't want to risk sending my phone back for repair still saying S-Off!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Okay, I kept reading through XDA and found a post by Dzumagos advising someone to do exactly what I just asked, use Android Flasher to run the Alpharev downgrader image and then reflash stock ruu, so I grew a set and tried it myself!

Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.001

Voila! I'm now back to S-ON, so now I feel I'm ready to call Orange and tell them about the constant shutdowns and restarts, which have still been happening on stock btw, the phone also feels really hot too!

I just hope the replacement they send me is issue free!

Thanks again to everyone who helped out in this thread and in the orange uk ruu thread!

Cheers everyone!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Haha! I rang Orange and they told me I need to buy a new battery!

I don't understand why I should pay for a new battery so they can diagnose a faulty handset but oh well. They're quite cheap on Ebay, I'm certainly not paying Orange for one!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Just to tie this up finally...

After a lot of messing me around, Orange finally told me they weren't interested in repairing my phone cos I'd had it for over 6 months, so they put me in touch with HTC.

HTC customer services were way more helpful than Orange, they arranged to pick my phone up by UPS the next day, repair it and send it back. They picked it up last Wednesday and I got it back on Monday, seriously fast turn around! All tested and working fine! Awesome service from HTC I think! I was hoping they'd include a note to say what work had been carried out, or what the exact problem was but there was no explanation in the package they sent me, just my phone in perfect working order!

HTC put the original Orange rom back on the phone, so before I start flashing any new roms again I'd like to see if there's a way it can be extracted as it'd probably come in handy for a few people on this forum.

Thanks again for everyone's help in this thread!

All I can suggest is that you contact HTC again and explain that your phone still has the same issue. As long as it is under a valid warranty they have to fix it for you.
