[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m52power:
Here's the story, Please read. I don't think anything like this has happened to anybody else...

Running CM6.02, unrevoked forever (s-off)

Using my 8GB SDHC card from my old phone (It's about 2.5 yrs old)

Over the past few weeks the SD card will randomly go corrupt, I can't recover data and must format it.

SD card went corrupt again 2 days ago. This time it refuses to format. I tried formatting it in the phone, and 2 laptops, no go.

I ordered a new SDHC (class 6) from newegg and it's in the mail. I don't have any other SDHC cards to use.

In the meantime, today the phone was acting weird so I decided to reboot it. The phone gets to the CM6 boot animation andd gets 2/3 through it and then it loops over and over, never getting into android OS.

Did a battery pull, removed SDHC card completely and it still won't get past the CM6 boot animation.

OK... so I go into bootloader and perform a "CLEAR MEMORY" in hopes to get the phone to boot into CM6.

NOW the phone doesn't get past the lock screen, it just sits there forever.

Another battery pull.

Getting desperate and I go into clockworkmod and hit "clear data/cache" and it pops up lots of errors that it can't mount the internal volumes!!!:confused::mad:

Is this a very bad sign, wtf have I done and is there anything I can do to get it to work without a SDHC card??
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdavis42:
I have seen something like this before. Here is a useful link
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
I wouldn't be to worried about it at the moment. You might have a brick till you get a new sdcard, but once your new one comes in the mail you should be all set. If your still having issues after you get a new sdcard then you might have problems.

Is it possible to install any rom or the RUU without a SD card? I won't have that SD card for days......

For whatever reason now instead of showing the Dinc splash screen it goes straight to FASTBOOT. It looks like bootloader but has options:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m52power:
A friend let me borrow his SD card. I flashed a new rom on my phone through clockworkmod. Everything appeared to go fine, no errors. Reboot phone and it is still stuck on the HTC splash screen.

How do I rebuild the internal partitions through ADB using parted?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m52power:
I was able to format 2 of the partitions and now I can atleast wipe data/factory reset without errors. When I wipe dalvik cache though I get an error:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(file exists)
Dalvik cache wiped.

Loaded a rom (ruby) and it still doesn't get past the splash screen.

parted shows 3 partitions, I only formatted the first 2

print
Model: MMC HYNIX (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 8095MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

Should I try formatting the third?

Long time "researcher" here on xda, keeping up with trends and techniques. Took the plunge and tried some roms this week after deciding to root it and go figure I get stuck unable to mount that 3rd partition.

Hi,

I'm looking for a safe web site to unlock my Xperia X1 from Rogers Canada.

Anyways, thanks.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
I just use the power widget for data instead of juice. Don't mind clicking it once before and after I turn the screen on. Also don't always use data when its on..
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
I do that also, but the fact that juice only lets your stuff sync at a certain lengthy interval is what really makes it awesome. If you just disable the data period, your stuff won't sync correctly
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
I only have mail to sync and with that if I go into my mail it syncs. I go on Facebook on the browser so I don't use the app and deleted off my phone. Also I don't use Google mail or friendstream which is all deleted fully off my phone. So I don't have to worry. And most stuff that syncs on here to a set time will have a sync button or sync when you use or go into it anyways. So why not have it just sync when you actually check it? My 2 cents.
[EVO 4G General] bludragon742:
Great guide; good job!
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I just turn off the background data, we have more than enough RAM to even need a task manager, I agree it sucks cpu usage and its tedious to close apps constantly and its only needed for low RAM phones these days anyway. Getting +6-8 hours use from a smart phone from moderste use is great Imo. I get great battery life already without much tweaking. I dont get what's the point of underclocking since the 1 ghz is one of the main selling points. I enjoy the obscene speed of the phone. Keep the screen dim and stay off the live wallpapers. Good write up!
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:

[EVO 4G General] Biofall:

[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
Thanks y'all! Please vote on the poll and rate so more people can see this for longer :)

Glad it's helping :p
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Anything that syncs has an option somewhere on the widget or app. All you do is hit the refresh button and updates. Same with mail. I go into my mail and it then syncs. So if its that important for friendstream or Facebook to update and sync to a certain setting then by all means juice is for you. Just a waste of battery.
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
Say for example I have:

Weather widget on homescreen, fb widget, friendstream, news widget, two mail apps in background, google voice for vm...

-To name a few. If you use all of these, then you wouldn't also want to:

Refresh weather widget by clicking on it, which pulls up the menu, then clicking refresh - then clicking on your fb widget, which brings up the menu, and hitting refresh - going to friendstream, clicking on it, menu, refresh - same for news widget - same for mail apps - google voice...

The mail and google voice update in the background, and unless you want them always checking, or going in when you remember and telling it to refresh, the best option is to limit when it has access based on YOUR schedule.

The point of widgets is one-look convenience. Two clicks to sync a widget, taking you off the homescreen, defeats the purpose. Maybe not for you, but most people.

Now, adding all those up, that would be about 15 taps on the screen, taking all over the place, just to have your apps/widgets do what they are supposed to do. No thanks. I would rather click zero times, and have EVERYTHING sync at one time, in intervals of my choosing.

To each his own I guess :P
[EVO 4G General] c_l021:
You use setcpu with kingxkernal?
[EVO 4G General] SayWhat10:
exactly what is the background data?

what data gets synced in the backgrounds? and if u turn that off, when does it actually sync that data?
[EVO 4G General] Bizdady:
You would manually have to sync data.
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
No I've stopped using it with the kingkernels as per his request.

EDIT: It's supposedly HAVS kernels in general.

JUST BUMPIN THE THREAD.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
To clarify, "Always On Mobile Data", when turned off, lets the 3G modem go to sleep after the screen has been off for 5 minutes. It doesn't interfere with anything like email or any other application that requires an internet connection at that moment because it turns on on-demand rather than being on all the time and wasting battery.
[EVO 4G General] JayStation3:
Great thread... I have found a good tsk killer called "system panel" it cost a cpl bucks in the market but its worth it... Old task killer apps stored working when froyo was released... System panel still works, plus it gives you a lot more control over your phone by telling you what is using what from your battery... In conjunction with juice defender... Too have the best offense to defend your charges!

Sent from the MATRIX... while plugged into my EVO... using the XDA app... from a galaxy far-far away.......
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
I've had system panel pro since the day I bought my phone :P
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
I'll add this to the OP, thanks for the clear description!
[EVO 4G General] Drew5150:
Wow, this is awesome man. #1 is a huge discovery for sure. we just got 4g here recently and I started having this huge battery drain problem. I have been monitoring my phone with system panel and found "suspend" to running my cpu full bore 100% of the time.

if your search for suspend you can find a few threads here and over at androidforums. no one had seemed to find the issue of why suspend is always running. but it is for me definitely being caused by 4g as you describe.

I didn't think it was 4g because I found a wimax process at 0%

but after playing with 4g and your ideas here I can make this suspend start and stop at will now.

some screen shots of system panel with the suspend issue on.

here are some screen shots after finding this thread last night around midnight and killing 4g and rebooting.

thanks, this saved me from loading up an older nandroid that I didn't have this issue. but now I know its not rom or app related.

here is what I did to stop suspend/4g from running. I keep mobile data always on unchecked. and I use a 4g toggle from switch pro (well not anymore)

I turned off 4g through my toggle. reboot phone, suspend is still running and the phone will not sleep. I then go into settings - wireless & networks - mobile networks, I then check mobile data always on and then uncheck it. suspend will now stop and phone will sleep. data always on check and uncheck only works after a reboot.

anyways I think this find is awesome! and maybe we should mention that this 4g problem and this suspend process are one in the same. as it seems people have been having this suspend process problem for months on end with no solution.

I really didn't think it could be 4g as I saw wimax process at 0% and a simple reboot didn't end it. I thought it had to be an app.

thanks bro :D
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Don't use the WiMax toggles. Just having one on your homescreen will turn it on even when you reboot. If you decide to use WiMax, turn it on and off in Settings -> Wireless & Networks, and then reboot when you're finished, or it'll keep searching for 4G network.
[EVO 4G General] Drew5150:
thanks, but I got all that from the first post. which is why I quoted it and wrote in my thread that I don't use the toggle anymore.

I was trying to explain how I had stopped the process, verifying the condition with out making any changes.

If you search for suspend you'll find threads on it. But none I found link to find 4G as the culprit. Now I see how it works and that 4G and the "suspend" process are linked.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
hey i am having a HUGE problem. my battery is attrocious (3-5 hours, light use, 4g on). this is obvously something to do with the phone itself. i just got a replacement, but the sprint tech made me keep the same battery. i dotn think it correctly set up for the new phone.i need to know how to recalibrate a battery, and maybe improve on life. anybody? how do you totally recalibrate a battery?
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Charge the phone till the light is green. Unplug for a minute, plug it in until it goes green again. Repeat about 10 times. Boot into recovery. Wipe battery stats. Reboot.

Also, I recommend using HTC Kernel #17. I get 15 1/2 hours with the following usage:

2 hours of music

200 texts

10 Facebook app refreshes

1 hours of phone calls

45 minutes of web browsing

The only thing I use SetCPU for is setting the frequency to 245/245 when the screen goes off (and to disable Perflock).

[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
I'm pretty sure that's in the OP explanations.

My aunt also has this problem with her Evo. I haven't looked it over completely, but from what I've found out through questioning her points to a faulty battery.

Thanks so much for this post u did basically everything on this post and got 8 hours frm moderate use

[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
does anybody have a fix for the 4g infinite scanning (even when 4g off?) i have heard of this happening and i am pretty sure it is happening to me. thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Download aLogcat from the market. You'll see right away if you have the issue if you see scanning on 127.0.0.1. It'll be in red. If you do see this, delete any 4G toggles off your homescreen. Turn 4G on, then off through Settings. Then reboot your phone. Should be gone.
[EVO 4G General] fceeviper:
Thanks for these good tips guys!

thanks for the tip. i have it bad. do i need to reboot every time i turn 4g off? that might suck

bump. anyone with a permanent solution or is this permanent or what?!?
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
If this is the case (which I hope it isn't), I say delete the 4g toggle off your home screen period and manually start/stop it through settings. Unless of course you don't have this issue and use 4g a ton.
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
No problem!

The answer is in the first step on the OP. You have to reboot it every time you turn on 4G

Juice defender does much more than that one setting, so I'd say no
[EVO 4G General] Vandelay007:
No, I know...I just mean in regards to mobile data, I should have been more clear in my question...I meant in regards to how JD only turns on data every 5 min....will turning off always-on effect this in a negative way

[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
It's not just the toggles. There's an issue with HTC's drivers. Toggles or not, 4G stays on even after you turn it off. After you turn it off, you have to reboot to get it to be really off.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
that REEEEEALY sucks. are any devs on it? how long has this been going on?
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
I've heard devs (and HTC) are working on it, but it affects every ROM, every kernel. Even completely stock, out-of-the box Evos.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
wow. is this a new problem or has this been happening since launch? i bet new bcuz i havent heard of it...
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
From what I've read, yes.
[EVO 4G General] afreed1:
After reading several threads about the suspend process/ 4g problem, I decided to take the 4g widget off my home screen. When I removed it, I found that there were 4 copies of it stacked on top of each other. I am not sure if this caused any problems but I think I have found issues with the states of two toggles being different in the past.

After finding the stacked 4g widgets, I found many other stacked widgets and icons.

Edit: After removing the extra widgets, my current draw in current widget seems to go back down to normal after toggling 4g.

One other thought, I saw in one thread that someone had the problem after toggling wifi. I had stacked widgets there as well.

Do you know if JuiceDefender "competes" with custom kernels like setcpu does/can?

I am trying a new kernel and I dont have juicedefender or setcpu running. Wondering if juicedefender will squeeze a little extra out of the kernel or if it's counter-productive.
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
Juice defender's only interference with setCPU is when you control the CPU with juice defender. Honestly, I would uninstall setCPU nowadays with custom kernels.

Hey and guys?

Just wanted to let you guys know, if you haven't noticed, about the new thank button. From now on if someone helps you with a post/thread/whatever, hit the "THANKS" button!
[EVO 4G General] slugbug2010:
I am not using setcpu, I have it "frozen" in Titanium, just in case I want to use it later. I really like htc17 and it works well with the screen off profile for that.

So without setcpu on, does juicedefender compete with custom kernels? I feel naked wihtout running some sort of battery jazz :p

My Thanks button is gone. I've only used it a handful of times. Maybe that's all the thanks I get to give?
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
I also have it frozen, and I get bad life with 17.

Juicedefender doesn't compete with the kernel as much as it governs it just like setCPU does, but only if you tell it to.

You only get five a day :P
[EVO 4G General] r.storm85:
Been getting great battery life with Myns rls3 with htc kernel #10.

Auto sync off

Always on mobile data off

Gps off

Wifi off unless home then only wifi.

4g off

Set cpu: main clock 768/225 phone is not sluggish at all.

Screen off 225/225

I would say my usage was somewhere in between light and moderate goin with OP opinion of them. With all this stuff off the phone works fine receiving emails, texts an everything else. Best rom/kernel my phone has had. At 65 battery after 14 hours means around 30 hours if i use it the same. Battery issues?? Not anymore!!

One thing that does kill my battery quick though is gps nav through gmaps. Around 15% drop in 15 min. Dont know if thats normal but only thing that burns through the battery

Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76
