[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
The google apps that were updated around that time were the Market, Maps, and Gmail.

It's strange that some folks in the DFW area were able to get some restoration of battery life just by reverting gmail. This has not been reproduced elsewhere. So, I can only conclude, that's really weird?

I have both uninstalled completely and reverted gmail. Yesterday, with the older gmail, on 3g, I lost 22% in 1h20 min, which is ridiculous. I have also tried reverting to the old Market. Others have reverted maps. Those don't seem to work either.

I'm just glad there is very active interest in getting to the bottom of this.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deliamber:
It could well be that some folks encountered some increased battery drain coincidentally due to applications or updates, perhaps on T-Mobile in areas unaffected by the HSPA+ drain issue and on other networks entirely. That would explain why their issues were corrected just by making application changes (rolling things back, disabling automatic sync, etc.)

However, those would be problems distinct from what's been pretty definitively identified as a widespread T-Mobile network/tower issue in many of their "4G" coverage areas, and the one most people are reporting about. It's unfortunate that it ends up causing confusion about what the root cause of the problem is, when really they're probably completely different problems to begin with that just happen to have the similar effect of shortening battery life.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wraith404:
That makes sense. Thanks for the response (and to the other couple of people who also did). I took a scorched earth approach and rolled back apps and set 2g. I guess I'll go ahead and let my apps update again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deliamber:
EDIT: Sorry wraith404, your earlier reply went in as I was composing this.

I very much doubt it. As I reported upthread, I tried uninstalling updates and even completely wiping my phone. I also tried completely uninstalling Google Maps when that was initially suspected as the issue. Others have tried similar rollbacks of suspected applications and updates with no impact.

Even disabling data completely (as futuremonkey reported) doesn't solve the problem. That means if it were an application issue it'd have to be a problem with one of them hogging the CPU. No other way they could cause such severe battery drain. Yet the battery usage stats don't show evidence of that. My phone's been off the charger for nearly 5 hours, and GMail (2.3.5) is only responsible for 2% of the power consumption since then. Not to mention that if it were a CPU hogging issue then switching to 2G only for the cell connection, even with data disabled, shouldn't show the dramatic improvement that it does.

We also have reports that T-Mobile engineers are aware there's an issue, and are working on a fix. The new thread posted at T-Mobile support soliciting details from those affected supports this as well.

In sum, there's widespread evidence indicating a configuration problem with many of T-Mobile's HSPA+ towers, and very little to point to an application issue. On the contrary, a lot of testing and investigation has ruled out an application or OS problem as the cause for most people.

That doesn't mean that some folks might have unrelated application issues that also cause some increased battery drain, and which they've found they can fix by rolling something back or disabling cell data use, but those would be separate issues. Confusingly coincidental and seemingly similar yes, but not with the same cause.

Testing it out in Portland. Thanks for reporting.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsloop:
I can only say what testing I'm aware of, but the Portland OR market and, I believe, Corvallis tested much better today.

There's no guarantee it will stay better, and I have no idea about other markets, but I've been on 3G since 12.30p and I still have 53% battery left.

So, while the problem is gone for the moment, there's no guarantee it will remain that way.

I'm attempting to get more information from my contacts, but as of yet I don't have anything.

k i have a Evo 4g and i was flasing a rom and now the rom doesnt load... just the lockscreen apears then the phone restarts....i did a nandroid back up and tried to restore the back up and same thing happens...

i formated everything and even the sd card and i have that same problem... i also get the 5 vibrates and green light problem sometimes... i have recovery...

what should i do flash PA36IMG.zip from hboot???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
What ROM was it?

Did you totally wipe EVERYTHING (Except the SD Card)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baronsamedi:
it was the mikg 2.1 +3.0 rom... yes i wiped everything except the sd card...

whats weird is the lock screen shows up then just restarts and keeps doing it....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
First of all, go back into recovery and wipe everything in the wipe menu except the SD card and then flash a 'rooted' stock rom (whether ODEX or DE-ODEXED is irrelevant). A link is in my signature. If you can successfully flash a stock rom then it is safe to assume that your current rom is corrupted somehow. Also, what radios & kernel are you using with your current rom? Are they compatible?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baronsamedi:
i almost feel like when the rom tries to read the sd card it restart..... i did switch sd card same problem
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baronsamedi:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Try downloading and flashing the Synergy rom. It is almost the equivalent of the one you were trying to flash. Let us know if you are successful or not. Disregard my previous post for now, please.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
It could be and that is why I always suggest a re-partitioning & re-Formatting of SD cards from time to time. Do you happen to have an ext4 partition set up on your card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baronsamedi:
no i dont think i did.. i might of just formatted it loaded up the rom... should i back it up and Format it??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
If you are unable to install any other roms, then yes, back up the contents of your card and then, especially if your recovery is amonRA v2.3, re-partition it while in recovery. You should see 'Partition SD card' in the recovery's menu. You will be asked to set a size for the SWAP, ext2 and FAT. If you want to simply have use of the entire card as a FAT, enter 0 for the SWAP & the ext2 partition. If you have lots of 3rd party apps and you plan on installing a rom like Synergy or it's equivalent, you may want to set up an ext3 partition. If you plan to use a Synergy-like rom, I 'suggest' you set up an ext3 partition in this manner:

0 for SWAP

either 1024 or 2048 for the ext2

the rest for FAT and after the process is complete, select 'upgrade ext2 to ext3'. All of this is done from within recovery.

Afterwards, go to the wipe menu and wipe everything in it including the card. Then copy a freshly downloaded copy of the rom you want to use and then flash it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baronsamedi:
i tried that.... now the sd card dont want to mount or format... and Synergy rom is doing the same thing it boots to the lock screen the reboots..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Baron, are you still S-OFF? If you are and if you don't think you need to re-flash your recovery, then I agree with HipKat that you need to flash the ruu. If your hboot version is 2.02/2. 10 then yes, flash the ruu with software 3.70.. If you have a Windows computer, you can download the exe version, connect your device to your pc and then run the exe.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Yep. Make sure it's called PC36IMG.zip and when you boot to Hboot and it does it's scan and asks if you want to update, say yes.

Be ready to flash recovery right after that, btw, so you'll have to get the PC36IMG for recovery on your disk after Hboot Runs RUU. Just let it boot up, if it will and then try to connect to your computer, and swap out the PC36IMG's

Whichever build I try boots up in safe mode. I can't seem to get rid of it and I can't install any apps. Also, I'm stuck with 150M CWM roms as I can't get in bootloader either. :(:confused:

Please help :o
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nemesis1278:
It sounds to me like one of your buttons is stuck or not working. This is why you can't get into boot loader and your phone goes into safe mode. You probably got condensation under the buttons which happened to me. It happens when ac is cold and you go into a hot room and condensation builds on the phone. What you can do is get a bowl of rice. Take the battery out, microsdcard out, simcard out. Now spray the buttons with some windex or window cleaner wipe it down and insert the phone into the rice. The rice will absorb any excess water and the windex will push out the excess water. You may need to repeat it a couple of times. Good Luck.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jetsetwilly:
Really appreciate the response. The last thing I did was give it a wipe down and I think maybe the wet wipe was a bad idea - will give it a try...

...in the rice as we speak...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jetsetwilly:
Ok, so I took it out of the rice and tried again, tried the hairdrier on it for a bit then after a few more attempts it went into MAGLDR and the vol up and down buttons would move the highlighted text (without going back to the beginning). Pulled battery and tried bootloader and it worked. In process of flashing shipped rom now.

It looks like you were right - must have been a bit of moisture under a button. Thanks a million!!! :):):):):)

What im curious is, is there a noticable differance in a 1.1 OC?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnueliafnak:
Which version do most people prefer? And it seems a bit complicated on the Kernel part. I know how to root, and unlock the BL, but when it comes to kernel's I'm not so familiar with it. I want to install it though to OC the phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
I tried both kernel's and haven't noticed any improvements in performance, but to be fair I haven't tested them extensively + they can be overclocked to more than 1.1 ghz

Installing isn't hard, you just flash them via CWM. Faux's thread has more replised so perhaps his kernel is more popular. You can try both and decide for yourself. But I think you need to wipe after each installation to avoid problems.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnueliafnak:
I thought I had installed CWM when I rooted again from that previous thread, but it didn't. Is there a specific thread for the CWM download? Thanks again!

Edit: Apparently I did have CWM installed? I booted into Android Recovery and it had the same options I used to root from the other thread? said Atrix 4g [version] goapk.com

im guessing thats CWM?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.brock497:
Yes, it is.

Edit:

In my opinion, the greater benefit of having one of these kernels loaded is the ability to extend battery life by using setcpu to do things like underclock when the screen is off, and such. As for speed, I get quadrant scores in the 3500s, ymmv.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
Yep, thats CWM. Download the correct kernel (d00 or 1100), put it onto your SD card, reboot into CWM, select "install a file from zip" or something like that, select your SD card, select zip, confirm installation.

After that reboot. If you have issues -> wipe data and reboot again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
Quadrant scores are awesome for boosting self esteem, but from what I use,- it didn't translate into real life performance increase :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnueliafnak:
Much appreciated guys!

One more question hopefully. Where can I find a thread if there is any with a listing of SetCPU profiles for OCing with a different Kernel?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
Faux has a bunch of different versions of his kernel with built in profiles. Besides that I haven't seen a list of standalone profiles. You can always make your own one I guess as long as you don't OC to 2.0 ghz :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnueliafnak:
I'm using his 1.1Ghz Kernel right now and the new Quadrant scores strokes my epeen, lol.

I didn't see any higher Kernel speed for Faux? I think his 1.2Ghz was "coming soon".
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
I thought the 1.2ghz was released already, but oh well... You can always set your own profiles, just remember to downclock based on CPU temperature.

If CPU heats up > 50 C - downclock back to 1ghz for example.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnueliafnak:
Yea, i just made 1 profile to downclock it back down to 1Ghz with Min 216Mhz at 50 C for temp. Priority 99.

Do you have any good profiles for battery management with this kernel? I couldn't find any around and the ones that are around are for the stock kernel.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
I don't use OC at the moment, but for batter management it's basically -

screen off = lowest CPU clock

battery < 30% = 1000 or 800 or whatever you feel necessary.

:D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnueliafnak:
I just lurked around the old SetCPU threads and got some ideas. Lowest I'll run is 750 when not screen off or charging, apparently thats the lowest it can run without being laggy.
