I'm about a gnat's eye away from putting a .357 inch hole in this friggin phone! :mad:

I wanna be clear I don't think it's the ROM... but I don't know for sure. I started from my clean install of DE 2.0.P1 and I uninstalled beautiful widgets. I noticed that when the phone starts booting, the screen goes off and then comes back on before finally going off for good... all during the bootup process. Beautiful widgets was apparently killing and then waking the screen when starting up the weather widget. After uninstalling, the double screen-off on boot went away and the capacitive lights being stuck on stopped too. I thought I was out of the woods until I noticed that my XDA Premium icon went away and even though it still worked, it had the default Android icon. I'd remove the icon, put it back, and the orange XDA premium icon would appear but every time I reboot I lose the icon again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. So now I'm in the process of yet another clean install.

I'm exhausted... from flashing. :(

Should be good to go
[HTC EVO 3D] jbermi:
if you have moved the app to your SD card, it will do that everytime. its a known bug HTC hasn't addressed afaik.

there really is no need to have any apps, on the SD card IMO...
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Jeezuz. You just saved me a half day's work. That was it. I didn't move it to the SD card on purpose (I never do that) but I must have fumble-fingered it there somehow. I did "move to phone" and now it works.

Maybe I'm just too old for this. :rolleyes:

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Yeah, I was just about to say that happens with the XDA App and others that install to SD card. Specifically its an issue with Sense's Rosie Launcher loading before the SD Card is ready to be read. You can change skins and then change back to the skin you are on and the icon will be normal.

This is an HTC issue but I have not heard anyone complain about it in a while.

Other than that... How are things running now?

Yeah, it's a Rosie thing. I remember asking about it when I moved from stock rooted 2.3.4 to CleanROM because the stock rooted 2.3.4 update seemed to have fixed it and I assumed that some of the tweaks caused it to reappear. I'm just dealing with it for now. I'm assuming that Sprint's announcement to remove CIQ will result in another update, hopefully with a fix fo that as well. If an app is an issue, I just move it but other than that I found a few workarounds like switching skins and force stopping Sense (although that can cause problems sometimes.) My only issue with this ROM has been a wakeup lock if I leave WiFi on and let it go to sleep. If I do that it will either power up to a frozen lock or the buttons light up and the screen stays black. I had developed the issue on DE 1.3, tried wipe cache and dalvik, didn't work, factory reset, didn't work, wipe and reset flash DE 1.4, didnt work and reset and flashed DE 2, and the problem persists. I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't something in the radio or something. In the above all wipes and resets I did 3X before flashing just to be sure. For some I used twrp 1.1.3 and the reset/wipe/flash of DE 2 was with the twrp 2. So, if anybody has any suggestions, bring them on. I'm hoping it's not hardware, I got my 3D from telesales before launch day and I don't want to get the dreaded HBOOT 1.5:( if I get it exchanged.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
You have almost the exact same issue that XDAMikey has. I use this device for podcast listening at bedtime and my wifi is always on. I never have this so maybe its not related to wifi?

We talked about some stuff ealier but were unable to pinpoint the problem. He was to try some more troubeshooting and report back. Lets see what you guys have in common. I would be very curious.

Also, if you could run a logcat when you are locked up, and send it to me that would be great. I would like to compare yours to his.

[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:

Not yet. I still have copies of stock roms too, and I haven't tried them yet. I did flash a nandroid from last month ( DE 1.3) to test TWRP 2, and didn't really run it more than a few minutes and went back to my nand of DE 2.

[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
If I were you I would try a couple of the following to narrow this down....

1. Run DE 2.0 with no apps other than aboslute esential apps (like for work or something). If that passes then slowly app load.

2. Run Standard 2.9.5... Its as solid as they come. If your device glitches up wiht that ROM you gat a bad device. Unlikely though.

3. Run bone stock rooted (I have one on my site) and see how it works.

Thats what I would try.

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
After another day of fiddling, I've found some apps that appear to not play nicely with this ROM:

(1) Beautiful widgets. With BW installed, every time the phone boots, the display shows the lockscreen, goes black for about 1-2 seconds, and then comes back to the lockscreen. This on-off-on behavior is fixed after uninstalling BW so I no longer use it. Without BW, the screen just shows the lockscreen while booting and then times out normally and shuts off after a while. No more on/off/on/off. I think BW "pulsing" the screen like that was causing the capacitive buttons to stay on if the screen switches on or off at just the right time: possibly when the dimming of the capacitive lights was happening.

(2) WTSP weather. I love this weather app. Best on the market for temperature in the notification bar, radar, and forecasts. But... the latest version is buggy. Many times the phone will boot and never display the temperature in the notification bar and if you use one of the WTSP weather widgets, you'll notice it is stuck trying to acquire data. I went back to an earlier (October) version that I backed up w/MyBackup Pro and all is fine now.

(3) K9 Mail. The only issue here is related to (1) above. I have security cameras and if something is going on like landscape maintenance, the cameras fire off email motion alerts constantly for an hour or so. I'm not sure about this one but it looks like if K9 mail receives a pushed mail while the phone is still in the boot process, the capacitive buttons can get locked on too. I haven't done anything about this because I won't give up K9 mail. A couple lock/unlock sequences seems to clear the buttons being lit.

Anyway, that's all the data I have for now. I haven't had any more slowdowns/lockups since clearing up the first two items above but I'll keep my eyes open. The only remaining thing that I haven't quite figured out is that I occasionally get a boot that leaves the capacitive buttons on (dim) forever... until you unlock, lock a few times and at some point they'll go off. I think it might be related to (3). Seems like maybe it is something with the sick tweaks being "interrupted" by another process during boot. In other words, if some other process does something (not sure what) while the capacitive lights are being dimmed, maybe that causes them to stay on. Again, really vague on this one as all I have are guesses at this point.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Yeah, thats true. I normally work 1:00PM to 9:30PM. So I am up all night. I went to bed around 1:00am last night. Which is about 3 hours earlier than normal so I tried to prepare for this but you can never really prepare for getting up early...

On a side note....

I got my hands on WM3 last night (finally)...

and it plays GREAT on the video card lrod and Selders bought me!

You can OC that card from 800GPU / 1000Mem to 900GPU / 1150MEM. When you do that it actually outperforms the 4870x2 it replaces. ON WEI I got 7.1 on old card. With this card I get that but when Oc'ed I get 7.2. Not too shabby at all!

IM pushing it with a Core i7 - 940 @3.4GHZ (Engineering Sample from Intel totally unlocked) with 12 Gigs of DDR 1333 and DDR 1600 mixed and set at 1450. It moves a long quite nicely. Kinda shocked that a $100.00 Video card outperformed a 4 year old $500 video card.

But yeah, I am very happy with this set up right now!

[HTC EVO 3D] jbermi:
all I am really doing is swapping out files...I took the drawable-hpdi's from CleanROM standard...put them in SystemUI and framework of DE 2.0, then swapped the fonts folder out, htc.resources file, and settings.apk then the phone and htc dialer apks from standard...i think that gets almost all the blue out. I didn't do anything else...at the moment.

No, I do fresh installs when going from one to another with a full wipe/factory reset. I learned not to do this early on when I first flashed CleanROM 1.x. Everything was working fine from the day Scott posted DE as I flashed it that morning and out of no-where it rebooted and gets stuck.

[HTC EVO 3D] bwillet:
I had the same lockup problem with 1.6 (2 times), dropped down to 1.2, had the same thing happen yesterday. Different apps, yesterdays was while listening to slacker in the car. Music stopped, phone just had the "Android" splash screen. Kept looping on that same screen, had to pull battery, was fine after that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Hmmmm.... Maybe its the kernel... The core of the ROM is super stable. I know that for a fact. None of these issues were reported with the "Standard" version of Clean ROM. The only real change is the kernel. Other than that its just the themes from ROM Updater. Hmmm....

Well continue to report and I will get to the bottom of it. Also, if when stuck won splash.. can you grab logcat?
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
My feeling on the matter is that it is definitely kernel related with an overclock. I've never had this issue with any overclock kernel until actually overclocking. Also, it only happened while charging, reaching 100% and then discharging while still on charger.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Yeah. I agree with the kernel. Maybe its an issue. But.... On my side. I had no issues at all. And the Beta testers couldn't get it to lock either.

As far as the battery... Thats actually normal and by design from HTC. It should hit 100% for a brief moment in time and then start discharging to 95% then back up then back down...

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Getting the best battery life to date with this ROM. Even better than CleanROM 2.9.5... by a wide margin! Try using the process monitor in System Tuner to see which app(s) are drawing power. And be aware that if you are in a fringe area with data turned on and you are not around a WiFi access point, these phones can draw up to 1000mA (one full amp) just trying to acquire/keep a 3G signal! I've found this to be a common reason why some people say "battery life is great" while others say "battery drains quickly". The people who have quick battery drain are carrying their phones in/through fringe areas. A 1000mA drain trying to acquire a signal will drain your battery completely in under 2 hours. Sorry, but nothing a ROM can do about that: that's in the radio code. HTC in their infinite wisdom just lets the radios draw incredible current indefinitely trying to find a signal. I really wish they'd change that or provide an option to limit the current draw. That's a leftover from the Evo 4G because that did it too.

Here's an unrelated question while I'm here... anyone updating the Anthrax kernel to any of the Anthrax nightlies successfully, or is that not recommended?

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
All CDMA phones do that, even old school flip phones!
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
That makes this even worse! You'd think they would have come up with a solution by now. It only has that severe draw when searching/keeping a data (3G) connection so one way to solve this is to watch the data connection and if it has been drawing max amperage for say 5 minutes, at least toggle the data connection off and occasionally turn it back on (automatically, say for one minute every 4 minutes) to see if the signal has improved. Once you've been in a fringe area for 10 minutes or so drawing 1 amp, there's no reason to rape the battery continuously. An intermittent (automatic) search toggle would fix it.

I'm also not convinced this affects "all CDMA phones". I went to a concert at St. Pete Times Forum with some friends and I had the Evo 4G at the time and one of the other people had a Galaxy S. Both phones had no signal inside the forum and were roaming at 1x with maybe 1 bar. We both started at about 80% battery when we entered the dome and after about 40 minutes, mine was dead as a brick. The Samsung had only dropped a few percentage points and was still around 75%. So maybe all CDMA phones are susceptible to that, but I think software can definitely mitigate the problem.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] jbermi:
AFAIK...almost all CDMA radio chips are manufactured by qualcomm...so blame them. lol.

It's not the radio chip. It's the software that drives the chip. That's why we get radio software updates.

I can assure u that is not the rom, or kernel, there are other factors that could cause battery drainage, find out of any rogue apps going berserker on your system, mainly that's gonna be it.

Other things u can do is to turn off data on all the time, back up services ( I have that off) wipe battery stats, fully charge your battery, turn off your phone, unplug the power, wait until the green light is off then plug back the power and wait until you get the green light, that will refresh your battery.

I have found an issue with system tuner that is creating the cpu1 to go offline or to stay at min clock speed, the issue is ralated to Screen-off-behavior and Governors behavior located in the boot settings of system tuner, these two settings are used to change cpu clock and cpu governors when the screen is off, the problem is that when you are using these profiles (features) the folder CPUFREQ located in SYS/DEVICES?SYSTEM/CPU/CPU1 disapears, causing cpu1 to go offline completely or to stay online but at 384mhz, this issue causes a lot of lagging and a drop on quadrant scores of 500 to 800 points.:eek::mad:

The fix for those expiriencing this issue is to dsable the screen off profiles then increase the freq of the cpus, once u increase the cpu speeds the CPUFREQ folder appears in the CPU1 folder and cpu1 works properly, if you are one of the lucky ones like me with this issue do not use the screen of profiles for now( I already sent an email to the dev so he can address this problem) if you don't diactivate the screen off profiles and governors you are gonna have the same issue everytime your screen is off.

P.S: This problem affects system tuner with or without dualcores on all the time, at least that was my case.
