Horrible battery life after flash of new radio? - Hero CDMA General

How do I restore my phone to original so I can start over? I am getting horrible battery life now with this new radio version and I have tried multiple roms. I made a nandroid backup when I first rooted my phone I just need a little bit of info on how to restore this version and will this version send my radio back to normal? I am not sure that is the problem but it started about the time I did the flash to the new version and I would really just like to kinda "start over" to get rid of any issues my flashing all these different roms may have caused. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

welcome to xda. there is a search thread button on the top right of the forum it will find all the keywords you type so that should help you. always search in the forum before starting a new thread so we can keep clutter down. anyways the radio isnt messed with by alot of things because it is very risky and it is also in a whole different partition so a nandroid will not restore it.

download the stock and flash it. goodluck. be very careful with radio.

I didn't try looking around on the forum for the way to flash it back. I have become very proficient in messing with my phone so I am not worried about bricking it, but thank you very much for your help.

This is really weird, I just noticed my radio version is 2.14.05.02.03, from what I have read it is supposed to be 2.14.04.02.03 and it does not wanna seem to flash back when using the signed version of the stock roms... I dont get it anyone help me?

that is weird. someone made a typo lol. anyways try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644004&highlight=radio&page=3 go to post # 28. DL and try to flash. i made a different update-script so maybe this other one will work for you.

It isnt working though since the flash a week or so ago I have been getting terrible battery life and I cant figure out what is wrong... I have wiped, tried about 4 different roms and nothing changes the battery still drains like crazy. I also tried a rom with like no programs running and made sure that I had nothing running that could possibly kill the battery.
I tried that one as well... Still says the same thing, this is really odd, I really think this is causing my battery issues. I flashed both that one and the one on the main page, do you think possibly that the problem is related to this. The only radio update I ever flashed besides this downgrade was the one that Flipz posted to go with his Android 2.1 rom... This is really weird I am really getting worried that I am gonna be stuck on this radio version forever now =(

well the new radio is almost never going to cause worse battery life.it has everything the old one does but it should poll towers less. 99% of the time its going to be the rom. what rom are you using?

I have been using pancake .1 I love the rom it is very basic. Only things I keep running besides what is normally running is official Facebook app, Google Voice, and Handcent, besides that I have killed every app to try and find the culprit of this problem.

in "Battery Info" it gives only basic info on status, current level, scale, temp, time since boot, and a few more unneeded values, nothing about individual pieces of software.

Do you have Spare Parts installed. You should be able to get info from there. Do you have GPS, Wireless, or Bluetooth on? I have the updated Radio and while I am sleeping I am only using 9% of my battery. With my stock ROM I was using 35% I have everything off except mobile networks and when I go to sleep I turn that off. I do not over-Widget my homescreens or have email checked every 5 minutes.
Maybe try Damage Control V1 or Fresh Rom 2.0. I know DCv1 is great as long as you follow soome of the steps on remving one of the applications.

Nothing conclusive in any of these threads, and I am beginning to worry...id really like my old radio back.

It's an issue with the new radio. Your phone is constantly looking for a GSM signal, preventing the radio from sleeping. Either need to flash the old radio, or upgrade to a 2.1 ROM and follow my guide.

Well, I am on Fresh 2.0c now and my battery life seems better. It was literally going down like 10% or so per hour before, it is back to normal now like normal for 2.1 roms. I reinstalled the radio a few times and I read in other threads that even though the versions wasnt changing in settings it was really changing. So I think it is fixed now but I still got my fingers crossed.

Even if your battery life is better now, you still need to follow the guide to change the Preferred Network to CDMA auto (PRL) otherwise your phone will still be wasting a good amount of battery searching for a GSM signal... I'm on Fresh 2.0c with the new radio and I'm only seeing like a 20% battery drop over 7 hours with normal usage.

Im tired of this F-ing phone freezing

it would just freeze randomly when left alone...and i wouldn't even know unless i push the standby key and it doesn't turn on or the time on the LCD is way wrong
worst is i cant get any calls while it's frozen and i can never recieve a txtmsg sent while it's frozen..even if i reboot the txtmsg will never be recieved
even worst is when it freezes while the lcd is on...it just sits there like that draining the battery
i cant figure out why..i report,as well as others, about this problem before but no one has any idea what's causing it
and no, there is no 3rd party programs running and yes this will happen on a clean cooked rom with no options checks off..i've tried everything...my only guess is that tmail.exe or the messaging system is causing it..but i cant be sure
does anyone have any ideas, i have to poke my phone 5-6 times a day when it freezes. is there any memory resident apps that can detect a frozen OS and force a soft reboot? and coders want to have ago at it?
What ROM/Radio/apps are you running? My Titan has never done that except when There were some reg entries I botched when I first got it.
No offense, but it is usually user error when things go awry, from adding bad oem's to the kitchen or messing with the registry entries.
A little more info is needed please.
Mine will freeze up if I leave the wifi switch on and then hit the power button to put it in standby. Or if I just let it time out and it goes into standby with the wifi switch on.
I upgraded to the VZW MR1 update and all is fixed!!
im running D.C.D 3.2.6 and radio 3.42.50
but this has been happening since before 3.2.X
no oems added, and like i said i would happen with a clean rom with no apps installed
i tried that to make sure it was a program i installed that was caussing it to freeze
i take it Windows Mobile doesnt have an event log or crash dump

Try radio 3.42.40 Some ppl were having problems with 3.42.50, but I used it for a couple of months ok.
Well, honestly, this is far out of my range of advice. I have been running DCD ROM's since I got my phone, and re-flashing has cured my no wifi/no bluetooth/no whatever problems since I started. Delete the kitchen package, restart your computer, re-download, build ROM and flash again.
Its not the most convenient option, but it will tell you whether you have a hardware problem or not.
I have had many problems with the no2chem rom I am running now, but in comparison DCD's ROMs should be solid. I suggest you re-download the kitchen and build again. Start fresh, then report back.

this happen with all radio's released since 3.40.02...i dont think it's the radio.
and i've tried recooking and reflashing with no success
wat it did try was this....i left the taskmanager running in process view and sorted by cpu usage..if i is a program i might catch it in action if the phone freezes with display on
and it did eventually...the program at the top wen it froze was tmail.exe @ 36% cpu useage...im not complete certain its the cause
and tmail.exe is a base OS file right? it's pocket outlook and i need it for TXTMSG
Do you have a lot of text messages saved? I have about 1500 saved... and if I keep more, freaky stuff happens... like bad restores with PIM and slow texting.
actually, i do about 4000
i'll archive them with PIMbackup and erase them
i'll report back

nope it didnt help...froze 4 times today
had exact same problem u did. did everything possible... nothing worked. turns out its a product defect that it crashes so brought it into telus store and they switched it for me.. since it was still under warranty if u have warranty i suggest u do the same... if not... im sorry mate this is not a software issue.
i had that defected phone for atleast a month.. and trust me when i say this.. i tried EVERYTHING. lol
actually its still under warrenty
i'll bear it and try and see if it is a software issue
i dont want to take it in for servicing if it's really not a hardware issue
the phone is pretty much new still
i might try flashing the official sprint rom and see if it fixes it
did you do a hardreset after each flash that you do. Cause if not you will have alot of footprint left over.
Only one app consistently locked my phone...
CorePlayer. I finally removed it after installing Kinoma Play (full edtion).
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
mine actually frooze when i have it in my pocket only. i found out that if the power on button is held down a long time, it might freeze light that. thats what i learned since i have it. it might strange weird but this is how it freeze with me.
DCD 3.2.6 and radio 3.42.50.

It may be because you are going into a weak 3G area whilst its in your pocket (which causes the problem when the phone auto-switches bands) the solution is to try what I suggest and if not entirely satisfied then perhaps try to update the radio.

well, maybe., but i dont use the 3g band at all, im not even using a data plan because i dont surf the web at all other than at home via wifi. if it freeze, i just reboot. im not that too worried about that as it happen really few times.

Do you not gt a 3G signal in your area or have you disabled it on the phone, you always have some type of signal going to the phone whether or not you actually run data connections.
If you are not using 3G then your must be getting an Edge or GPRS connection that you can make phone calls with. Its still worth setting the band type to GSM + AUTO even if you don't get a 3G signal in your area.
hang up etc
I installed everything in main memory and nothing but storage on card and doped to 49% on cpu, until phone is used and the around 55% , I dont know if that might help you but it did for me.

HTC Pure suddenly gets sluggish

My Pure has gotten really crappy lately.
Out of nowhere, the phone takes forever to complete tasks. It took 3 minutes to open a contact to dial. It took 2 minutes to get to dial a number completely, and another 45 seconds before pushing the talk would start dialing on the network. It took me 30 seconds to open up SPB Insight. Another minute to open up Opera browser. Took 5 minutes to open up the Messaging app to try and text. Etc...
Also, it seems to not want to show me whose calling half of the time. It just plays my ringtone and the signal meter has the image of a phone on top of the bars.
I have not installed any new applications on the system in over a week. I don't have all that much installed anyway. I try to keep data on the sd card. I emptied out all messages and still no speedier.
What can be done to defrag or something to help this POS work better?
Thanks!
try a hard reset. thats what i would do.

are you using a stock rom or custom rom? i use energy roms and they all have pim backup cooked in. im sure if you just do a little looking around you will find a few different backup apps. ill see if i cant find the cab on my comp for sprite.
check this out. it will even re-install your apps for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582421&highlight=backup+app
stock rom is in use.
Yeah that application for backing up didn't work whatsoever. When it started up it went ape-crap with errors. Downloaded an update, same thing.
Any other ideas to keep from losing all of the settings, programs, etc, before hard-resetting?
yeah, lookup pim backup or sprite backup. some ppl like spb backup but i think it might cost a few bucks. im sure there are some around xda if you look, or just google those i just told you about.
Silly Question
Did you try a soft reset first before you leap to a hard reset? Just wanted to make sure as I saw no mention of simply soft reseting...

i was asuming he has already done that.
About 15 soft-resets a day with the occasional forced pulling out of the battery because it literally hangs for 5 minutes with the screen seemingly locked up waiting on something to open or close...
Just hard-reset the dang thing. Still as slow as ever. HTC has let me down for the second time.
You need to install a good task manager and find out what is running in the background.
what would be a good, free task manager to try?
Try sashimi for restorals. PIM back up is not for programs.
Well I did a hard-reset and it didn't resolve anything whatsoever. Must be device related.
But since it's bricked sort of, anyone have advice on a good, liteweight ROM to use on HTC Pure? May as well try to do that for the first time, since I'll have a replacement in a few days.
I like very little about ATT's ROM. Slim would be great.

if you are getting a warranty replacement i wouldnt flash a rom unless you want to flash it back to all stock b4 you send it in. if its insurance go ahead and flash away.
Guess I'll wait. Out of all the threads here on the matter, can anyone recommend a good thread for how to go through the steps required to get a Stock PURE flashed to another ROM?
Want to do it the easiest and best way possible.

Why does my phone shutoff?

Rooted my Hero and it doesn't matter which custom Rom I've tried(Fresh, Damage, others) my phone will shut off most of the time it goes into sleep. I don't know its off until I go to wake it up by hitting the end button. When I restore back to the stock Rom(still rooted) it works fine. I do a wipe and a Dalvick wipe prior to flashing. I'd like to get this figured out so I can use one of the nice Roms. Thanks.
If you're running A2SD and you have the Dalvisk on a slow sd card you phone can reboot or shut off. Try moving it off of the SD

Thank God I thought I was the only one. I searched but didn't see your thread. Weird problem.
Same problem here too since the new leaked 2.1 test ruu from damaged. The only 2.1 Rom that works for my needs without rebooting every 3rd or 4th time I wake it using the end call/power button is Damagedtrev 2.01, the updated 2.05 Rom in his thread just makes my phone reboot as described above. I don't have a link to his thread, but it would be interesting to see if it worked on your phone too. Other's have claimed a battery shorting might be causing this issue, but I'm not buying that. I've looked at /proc/lastkmsg for clues, but nothing obvious there. I hope the official Sprint update doesn't have this bug or sprint will be giving me a new phone. /end rant
I can't seem to find Damagedtrev 2.01
So I can't test it.
Here's the link to the thread.
I cannot post links, because of some restrictions,but here is the last part of the url.

I really hope this 2.1 ROM works.....I'm kinda sick of 1.5.
Edit:

Hey good news. I put the new SD card in after backing up the other one, partitioned it and copied the files and folders back on then flashed ALOYSIUS and so far so good. I have woken it up about 10 times in a row. Looking good.
I had tried that perticular Rom before with no success.
Interesting.....I'm using the 2 gig sd card that came with the phone....I wonder if that is my problem?
Well it started again. This was right after setting my Gmail and POP3 mail accounts. It shut off on the first sleep after this. Hmmmmm.
I'm re-flashing now and not setting up the mail accounts. Will report back later.

Well, my friend. You were correct! full rom of DamagedTrev_v201 works on our phones for some strange reason. And updating his ROM caused the re-booting to start again. So whatever was changed from 2.0.1 to 2.0.5 is causing our particular problem. I'm not a dev by any means and don't know much about his stuff, but this is encouraging. Perhaps someone can figure out what it is?
I did notice that ALL the other 2.1 ROM's I have used that cause my phone to re-boot from sleep mode, is that when I hit the menu or power button to turn it on, the lights turn on, then reboot phone. With DamagedTrev_v201 that doesn't happen. The screen just pops up to unlock it.....don't know if that helps, it's just something I noticed.
Heres to crossing our fingers that someone can fix this!
P.S. I wiped and went back to Gumbo 1.5c as that 2.1 ROM was way to slow for me and I couldn't get bluetooth to work and audio would cut in and out.

i would like to know if its a full reboot or just a soft like where it hes to the sprint or boot animation

It's a full reboot. The phone actually turns off when it goes into sleep. You don't know it's off until you hit the button to wake it up and the phone boots up.
Now for the good news. After re-flashing and not setting up the email accounts it was still shutting downconfused so I started looking elsewhere so I opened up what I thought was a likely culprit in Autokiller and none of the presets where selected so I picked Moderate and haven't had a shutdown since which has been over an hour. Fingers are crossed. I'll report back later.
That's it I've wasted way too much time on this. Phone works great on the stock ROM. They must have planted some devious anti-flash widget in this phone. I'll leave it rooted for now.
patkin, dude, I felt the same...I gave up on 2.1.
download, wipe then flash Gumbo-1.5c-BARE-signed.zip after it reboots, download and flash Gumbo-Sense-signed.zip.
You flash Gumbo-Sense-signed.zip over the Gumbo-1.5. No need to wipe or anything, it just adds to the ROM. Fast as hell and works PERFECT.

Glad to see your rebooting issue was fixed with this rom even though you went back to gumbo 1.5. In my mind, this just confirms that it is not a battery issue. I never use bluetooth and have never experienced any audio loss with this rom, but apparently even people on the same hardware and firmware versions have different problems.

That's it I've wasted way too much time on this. Phone works great on the stock ROM. They must have planted some devious anti-flash widget in this phone. I'll leave it rooted for now.

Yeah, got my phone beginning of march 2010 and I also think there is something in the 2.1 test ruu or hardware that is keeping the phone from functioning properly with an altered 2.1 rom.
Just wanted to let people know what happened to resolve this. I went back to 1.5 then when 2.1 official came out last week I said what the heck if I can't enjoy a rooted custom 2.1 I'll try the official and guess what. Same problem as the other 2.1's.........phone shuts off randomly! Except this time they are replacing it with a new phone. Yeaaah! I'm probably going Evo now though since I found out I can get a new phone. Anyone need a new Hero?
I'm having the same problem.. One question. Does DarchDroid automatically move dalvik-cache to the sd

3g / Mobile Web Not Working

Hi guys - hoping someone can help me!
I've found the perfect droid build for my tastes and battery consumption, but the problem is, my mobile web isn't working! The 'G' or 'H' icon appears, with the 2 arrows, and the left hand side one flickers on/off every so often, but I don't get a connection.
Now, I freely admit that I'm not very good with stuff like this, so I wonder if anyone can suggest some things to try and get my 3g up and running? I pay for unlimited data on my contract, so I really could do with it!
Is it worth swapping radio, or don't you think that will be causing it?
MDJ FroYo Streak Lite v1.1
Using kernel that comes with this build
Radio 2.12.50.02_2
Winmo ROM is Chuckydroid
Cheers guys
Bump.
It's not the APN settings as I've re-entered them. Any suggestions?
Sounds like the ROM, that specific ROM has had data issues. He's got a newer version, I'd download that and try it out, or back-up your ROM and plug-in a new kernel and see what happens.
Thanks man. I guess I'll try a different build - gutted though, as I love everything else about this one!
My phone has also taken to randomly restarting itself, or just switching itself off too. That's very annoying. It's done that on the last few rom's I've used. I might just go back to WinMo soon if it keeps doing it - it's pissing me the hell off, as for some reason, texts sent when my phone is off, don't come through when it comes back on.

well no recent ROMs i've used have had any of these issues. Check out my set-up in my sig. Maybe flash NRG and 2.15.50 and see if you still have these issues.

heating issues.

Hello. Am on pdateam wp7 7740 rom. I have realized that anytime I access the internet or do anything concerning internet connection the bottom part of my hd2 becomes very warm everytime. It sometimes makes it unable for charging. I want to know whether anyone is also experiencing this problem. And also how I can solve it. Thanks very much....
i to have had this problem. i did NOT have it with ANY rom prior to mango releases. i asked over a week ago if this problem had been addressed and/or fixed in recent releases and have not had any reply. after reading this i suppose the answer is no. as i said, i didn't have this problem with any pre-mango roms.
after i installed yuki & xbmod's 7720 zune updatable anytime i would stream say netflix or youtube for more than 10 minutes i would get the dreaded orange/green flashing led (read up real fast and found out it is an OVERHEAT notification)
one thing that i found is a slightly damp or very cold cloth on the back in the VERY hot area for just a few minutes will cool your leo down enough to start to charge again (leave the cold cloth on as long as you plan on charging after you get the overheat notification). i just love my baby to much to run the risk of burning it up so i went to android.
i REALLY miss WP7 but unless this is corrected or someone can tell me for sure i'll stick with android.
(if anyone knows if this has been resolved or knows a better workaround i'd really appreciate it as i detest the whole lengthy process of going between android to WP7)
cheers

whoops, didnt mean to thank you, ah well, have one on me
anyhow, the only time i get that heat issue is if i go crazy with wifi, day to day its fine, but if i start transfering 100s of MB of data it gets toasty!
Some one shld please help solve this problem.
have you tried messing about with different radios?
the reason some networks use different versions is because the settings suite some areas better than others.
Start with hardware radios as thats easy to change, then move to software radio starting with oldest, mango roms did have a newer software radiuo built in so that might be answer for you
I haven't had this issue since the first wave of roms released pre mango in January. Ever since mango this problem has been cleared up. I'm on BTTF rom 7740. Back on pre mango roms it would get so hot I could barely hold it. But now on Yuki & Xboxmods rom it NEVER heats up. Just my experience.

would you mind sharing what setup your running? because ive had quite the opposite experience ... pre-mango = no issues! mango (BTTF) = the above mentioned issue ...

ok thanks.and by the way,what's a software and hardware radio?..and can u please give me a list of compatible mango radios...
well, hardware radio is what you used to flash when dealing with WM6.5, you can find all the radios in the HD2 wiki or 6.5 development forum, that is easy to flash as all you have to do is stick it in tricolour bootloader, and flash via your pc using the customRUU, typically these are named
2.12.50.02
2.14.50.04
2.15.50.14
there are a lot more than that, different areas will like different radios, trial and error is usually the only way to go, for example, you may lose the heat issue but lose signal as well, or perhaps your battery life will improve or drop like a rock
The software radio is something windows phone brought to us, as far as i can tell the only way to change that is via flashing WP7 again, you essentially swap out the part00.bin from the install folder and replace it with a different radio version
a quick search on the windows phone 7 HD2 stickys should find what your are looking for
but these radios are typically called
5.52.09.16
5.51T.09.29a
5.65.09.11a
again, there are a lot more than those ive lists, i think there are about 11 in total.
