Random Reboots On Idle

Morning, all. I am having random reboots on idle. I'm running MeanRom 4.0, and before you guys flame me, I wiped cache, dalvik, and system three times each and did three factory resets just for good measure. I didn't restore system data with Titanium, only user apps and their respective data. It's only happening when I'm not using my phone, and it's boggling my mind. :confused:

I'm attaching a logcat so someone smarter than me can hopefully get to the bottom of it. Mikey, I realize you're super busy making awesome Android stuffs, but can you take a look at this for me?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] winkynatedog:
Probably a stupid question, but I am on V3.5 ( I know I'm behind, I've been busy). I always do a full wipe instead ofa dirty one and it seems to work for me. I'm just wondering if I'm doing it right and what a full wip actually is? Here is what I do: Cache, Dalvic cache, system, and factory reset. I dont believe I need to wipe internal or external memory do I?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cherylbaker:
No one is going to flame you for your flashing method but maybe for but reading.. lots of us are having this same problem and it had been talked about over and over... So all I can say is welcome to the club
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
I am on 4.1.1 and (knock on wood) insmod haven't had that issue at all. I dirty flashed from 4.1 in fact I have only been doing dirty flashes. Hope that helps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Nygel:
Are you on the latest firmware update, that will determine if you are s-off or s-on. Well if you are on the latest then do a clean install and just let the apps install from google.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
check to see the files that are modified in the zip.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
What do you mean by "Adding apps the the HTC music app"??? Your able to add third party apps the the music app???

A bit confused:eek:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] seewhyphotos:
Timberwolf actually responded on his thread that he found the problem and will be pushing out an update.

He doesn't use the Car app, so it didn't come across as missing from the app drawer. That's what us users and testers are for!!!! <GRIN>

Great theme by the way, if you like blue.. very well done..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
not yet....Ill give it a go...I run Rom Cleaner after every flash of Mean and it removes the HTC Music app related stuff. So maybe i have to leave it in there in order for this to work?????
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robec1981:
I am S-On. I haven't taken S-Off for fear of bricking my phone. Lol

So I'm good to just install the new firmware and reflash no problems?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
If you go to the HTC Music app you will see a bunch of shortcuts at the top, you can remove them by long pressing on them (except for the first one). After removing the ones you don't want, click the menu button and press "add application shortcuts" to add new applications (any) to that panel. Once you do this, now you can go to your Car App and if you don't see the application in the first page, swipe 2 times and you should see a "music apps" area and you can select the one you want to activate. The next time you go to the Car home screen you should see that app there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Natodu:
Can we use the circle battery zips from previous versions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
Nice, thanks bro. The only downside is that Ill have to start letting the HTC Music app install and not remove it anymore with RomCleaner. Oh well....Give and take.....

Word......
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
This is totally by assumption: If you are on MR 3.5 and up, you shouldn't use anything that came from previous (3.4 & under) versions of flashable zips (MODS)

With this I'm not saying that the ones you do flash from earlier versions won't work, but you run sticking to MODS tested and designed under the firmware you currently have.

lol true, there are some diseases we need and some we don't... this one just made it on the list of "Do's"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Lots of errors from PowerAmp. Also some dalvikvm errors. Looks like a misbehaving app. Not sure if Power Amp is the cause but maybe try clearing data/cache on that app and reinstall it.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parmend:
Was wondering if our camera software can put images side by side . For before and after photos .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Open HTC Music. Press Menu, choose "Add App Shortcut".

Any app you add there should be accessible via the Music Apps in the Car app.

I think you could even add non-Music apps if you wanted - make it like a program launcher.

Is it possible that the audio/EQ changes are affecting the operation of PowerAmp? I know that was an issue with all the Beats Mods on the OG.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kinny89:
I'm having this same issue and have been having it for a few iterations of MeanROM. Can't figure out how to fix it. :( I've done everything you've done as well. Today alone it's randomly rebooted 4 times since I took it off the charger at 9 am, it's now 1 pm.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SRQ Rick:
You were too nice.....lol!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
Does anyone has an issue getting access to the 4G LTE network? does it show on your phone as 4G when connected?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
I'm trying.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I find it odd that all but two people who are reporting random reboots have less than 25 posts. Not saying anyone is stupid or there is any conspiracy... just find it odd and wonder what the link might be. Maybe newer people with newer phones are not updating all the way (have previous firmware) or the new kernel for 2.13 isn't flashing for them. Most random reboot issues are caused by kernel incompatibilities and as long as the new kernel is being flashed, there shouldn't be any reboots going on. And nothing has really been modified since 3.5 that would cause random reboots. Worst that any of the ROM mods should cause is a FC.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
Been on ur latest for 3 days mikey I don't get any reboots all is well. My phone just has trouble sleeping but I got a lot of apps like fb Twitter instagram so I don't blame ur Rom :) only issue is just the update Prl/profile is gone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
It's not missing here. And I'm on 4.1.1.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adma84:
I never understood those cartoonish mods. I actually like the sense look :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Strange... this person posted here and only has 3 posts. How do you get around the 10 post minimum?

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
Did you delete or freeze any apk? That is strange.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
I don't think I did.. I installed the nightly and I noticed it was gone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Wasn't il Duce talking about 3 Spyware apk's that would cause that if removed/frozen.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31452456

The OP in that link has 3 apk's listed that are causing the loss of the ability to update profile/PRL if they are removed/frozen.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
You have to put 2 of those 3 apks removed back. Read Duce's post.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
I don't get this one. When I dirty flash, the stock battery app will reset when you restart the phone in that the time resets to when the phone was last restarted, not when it was fully charged. I restarted the phone a couple minutes ago, so the app shows it on battery for the last couple minutes, even though the phone has been off the charger since 7AM. When I clean flash, it doesn't do that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thekenster:
SysteUI

Mikey, have you done anything special to the SystemUI.apk in the last couple versions? I have always dropped my own battery png's in the drawable-xhdpi folder before flashing your rom and never had any problems. Only mod ive ever done. Now when I do that, at boot (Clean or dirty flash) I get "Unfortunately SystemUI has stopped" If I say ok, rom boots up and seems to run fine. Thanks for any heads up, 4.1.1 running smooth!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
Well I thought about what u said and just reflashed the nightlie its back now :) tank ya
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kinny89:
I've lurked here for years, I've never really had a reason to post until I got my Evo 4G LTE. I'm S-ON. My kernel version is 3.0.8-01680-gb6402b4root@ABM030 #1 SMP PREEMPT. Baseband 1.05.11.0606. and 2.13.651.1 build number.

I've tried a factory resetting, redownloading the file and trying to flash that one, clearing app caches, deleting most unnecessary apps. As I type this the phone just reset again. I love the ROM and your work, just trying to figure this out. This problem started for me after I left version 3.4.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shellguy:
Does anyone know if there is a way to get to Polaris and the others on the newest rom?

Will
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Is everyone that has this issue S-ON, running the previous baseband version?

I wonder if that could have something to do with it. It could be that the prior firmware doesn't work properly with the new base (on some devices).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yeah, me too and definitely no disrespect meant! Just wondering if the newer phones might not be unlocking or taking the kernel flash, or maybe people who are new to the Evo 4G LTE aren't updating via the latest methods. Just looking for a trend. Now, I do notice that you are not on the latest radio. Are you s-on? Seeing an old radio leads me to believe it is definitely possible (probable in fact) that you have the old kernel too. Flashing this ROM which is 2.13 based while on the old kernel is known to cause issues. Let us know whether you are s-on or s-off and we can help you get the latest firmware as I think that might be the problem.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
Agreed. I took the plunge and upgraded to 2.13 firmware with 1.19hboot S-ON because I was already 1.15hboot S-ON in the first place. I did a clean install and never have had any issues.

I wonder if everyone has updated their firmwares and if they have done clean installs after to achieve this. Also, I would suggest flashing the boot.img again from fastboot just in case (even though I know Mike's ROM has a workaround for this)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lazer9:
Ok, New HTC EVO 4G LTE user here. Just converted from Verizon/DroidX to Sprint.

I'm rooted/unlocked via panda or whatever... Running TIBU so to be able to restore all my apps. Latest TWRP installed and backup done.

My problem: Both Mirrors in the OP for some reason halt at about 6% to 12% on my work connection. They will start out flying at 1.7mb/s then fall off to nothing. :(

I haven't been having trouble modding my Tablet (Asus TF300T) via various other mod's links. Any suggestions or help in getting this damn thing to download?

Thanks :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Try this -

Do a nandroid backup of Data only.

Do a Factory Reset, and Wipe System, then flash the latest (I recommend 4.1.1).

Boot up, and the apps should be there. Then reboot into recovery and restore data. That *may* work, or it'll just restore the data that prevents them from showing up, and you'll just be back where you started :rolleyes:.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kinny89:
None taken, you're doing ME a favor by even releasing this ROM so and I have the utmost respect for you.

I'm S-ON, I didn't want to risk bricking my phone trying to go S-OFF. My phone lists my current Kernel as 3.0.8-01680-gb6402b4root@ABM030 #1 SMP PREEMPT.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twist:
Can you elaborate on your data issues as I have been having 3g issues off and on for about a month and sometimes its actualley the local sprint towers but today I am at work which is a ways away and am not getting any 3g, updated my profile prl etc over WiFi and still no 3g today. Might just be a coincidende with sprint having issues again but its weird. Also when I am on WiFi I will be super far away from it to where it should of already dropped but when I turn my screen on it shows the WiFi for a sec then it drops off like when the screen is off it dosent update the data connection.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I thought the ROM wouldn't even boot if you had the old kernel on the new base? If the ROM boots, I'm pretty sure the kernel can't be the issue, unless the ramdisk tweaks you did weren't flashed and somehow those are causing issues because the kernel wasn't flashed properly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
I have the ap called QuickShortcutMaker I have looked at the so-called "Polaris" ap and cant seem to figure out exactly what it is. I know its supposed to be an "Office" replacement of sorts but it doesn't look like it is a full ap to me.

I did a clean install of v4.1.1 to get the "Download" ap but other than that I don't see any other hidden aps now showing other than this one.

I am curious does anyone have a list of the "hidden" aps that folks are talking about?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kinny89:
Here's my phones information.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Don't know, I never tried running the new base on the old kernel but I'm sure you're right. I should have looked closer at the kernel ver... it's the correct kernel. BUT, running the 2.13 base with the old baseband can cause troubles of its own based on the reports I've seen. So Kinny, I think you need to do the stock ROM/relock dance and take the OTA to get your firmware updated. I'll see if I can find the best thread with instructions to do that... unless somebody else beats me to it. Might be tricky now that you're s-on with the new kernel with old radio. Probably will have to fastboot flash the old kernel along with the old ROM.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xanmanz31:
S-OFF isnt near as scary as you think very straight forward if you know how to follow directions. its about as risky as flashing a rom anyway.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Sure, I can list them for you. Give me a few minutes (unless someone else gets to it first).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
I was getting a couple reboots a day until full wipe and 4.1

Got reboots on 3.9 and 4.0 but both were dirty.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robec1981:
I have the same information and the same problem, so if you're looking for a pattern, it might be here. Anyone else having the same reboot issue with this phone information?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yeah, you've got the old firmware (baseband) too. I think that's what's causing the random reboots. I'll have to add a note to the OP that you should at least update to the latest radio. I presume taking radio alone will fix it and you probably don't HAVE to go OTA and take the whole thing. Lemme see if I can find that thread with the radio firmware that will flash via s-on... I'm in the middle of uploading 4.2 so if someone beats me to it, I won't mind. ;) I'm talking about the flashable (via bootloader) ZIP that will bring these guys up to the new 1.12 baseband.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
That's my thread, and you can't update the radio with either if the new HBOOTs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kinny89:
OK thank you. When you post the link, I'll flash the radio and report back in with you and let you know if that fixes my problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fgr:
It will probably FC when you press the recent apps button also.

I have the same issue, posted about it many pages back, and spoke with Mikey briefly also. He thought it has something to do with the compression of the file, but didn't see why it would have changed with the recent versions. I assume, like me, you've been doing this since day 1.

This fixes it, but unfortuately is much more time consuming:

1) Drop your pngs in SystemUI.apk

2) Use apkchanger and select "Optimize images inside apk".

3) Wait forever it seems like for it to finish.

4) Drop SystemUI.apk back into rom and flash.

No more FC's (at least for me).

I'm going to play with it some more when the next update comes out and try to find a quicker/simpler fix.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xanmanz31:
XO.... yeah thats my oh face for 4.2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Majin101:
Mikey!!! Man I just got in my car going to school and I get a ota notification UGHH now I won't focus hahah
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kinny89:
So are you saying I can't just flash the radio? I'd have to unroot/take OTA/reroot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Ugh. Sorry... I ain't been keeping up with the s-on radio flashing. Didn't realize it was only an hboot 1.12 thing. OK. OTA it is.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kinny89:
One other thing to note, the phone ever randomly reboots when the screen is off/phone is idle. It's never done it while I was actually using the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Polaris Office

Mirror

SoundHound

TuneIn

FriendStream (?) - I thought this was there (it might already be)

Downloads

Flash Player Settings

Has much changed between 4.11 and 4.2?

Do we need to flash if we are currently on 4.11.

Does it matter, I'll probably do it anyway... lol :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carrilloevo:
hey guys im s-on hboot 1.19 and running 4.1, so i need to flash boot.img again or just install the new 4.2 over without wiping?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lazer9:
*Bump* Please? :victory:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krid80:
guys, I've done some searching and have yet to find the answer. My wifi is still disconnecting in the middle of browsing or whatever. I had hoped that using the new OTA base would have fixed my issue but it has not. Is anyone else getting wifi disconnects randomly while the phone is in use?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kanizzle:
I was having that issue as well. Nothing seemed to work. I changed the channel on my router and haven't had any issues since.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krid80:
I would try that but I'm pretty confident that won't fix my issue as it happens on every wifi I use. Work, home, parent's house, etc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treetolber:
Any way to create a flashable zip to not allow the camera button to wake?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adma84:
except that pretty much EVERY router uses channel 6 by default. It's still a very worth thing to change. LOTS of interference on that channel
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krid80:
I suppose that is an option from the router setup menus at http://192.168.xxxxx ??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kanizzle:
Yeah don't think that would help you in that case. Sorry
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
you can change your routers channel number, on the play store they have an app that you can run on your phone called wifi analyer. it will tell you what is a better channel. i changed my to channel 1 and my wifi is alot more stable now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
The changes were addition of the camera button to wake the phone and OTA Updater updated to 1.0.1 (was RC8 in 4.1.1).

For the people on 1.05 baseband, I believe this is what you are going to have to do but someone who has done this please chime in as I've been s-off until 2.13 and have never done the relock/OTA dance. My understanding is that this is what should be done:

(1) Make a Nandroid backup: that will save where you are now.

(2) Relock bootloader

(3) Download 1.22 RUU

(4) Install the 1.22 RUU via your computer.

(5) When the phone boots up, take the 2.13 OTA.

(6) Once 2.13 OTA is complete, your firmware will be updated.

(7) Use HTC dev unlock again.

(8) Flash recovery like before (obviously you did that before if you're here now).

(9) Boot to recovery and restore Nandroid from (1) above.

(10) Reflash latest MeanROM ICS to be sure you get the MR boot image.

That should bring you right back to where you were but with the updated firmware, correct?

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Just follow the instructions in post 3.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
Where can I find post 3?? j/k.... :D

Thanks for the update Mikey, running 4.1, but been waiting for the camera wake. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You don't have to download the 1.22 RUU. We have the 2.13 RUU. That combines your steps 3-6 into just 2 steps - download RUU & install - Firmware updated!

But then the HBOOT will also be updated to 1.19, which may never be rooted. Catch 22.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Thank you. OK, so here goes (hopefully n00b friendly).

How to update firmware to latest if you are s-on and plan to stay s-on:

Make a Nandroid backup: that will save where you are now.

Relock bootloader (here's a video showing how)

Download 2.13 RUU (here's football's link to all shipped RUU's and here's post with a mirror link directly to the 2.13 RUU)

Install the 2.13 RUU via your computer (and here's a video on that process).

Once 2.13 RUU is complete, your firmware will be updated.

Use HTC dev unlock again and install recovery (instructions are in the OP here: you've done it once already if you're here).

Boot to recovery and restore Nandroid from (1) above.

Reflash latest MeanROM ICS to be sure you get the MR boot image.

If you're one of the people having WiFi problems, reboots, etc. check your baseband in settings/about. If your baseband is less than 1.12 and you are s-on and plan to stay s-on (you don't mind updating your hboot), you can perform the above steps to update your firmware and get back to running this ROM.

Mike
