No matter how much or how I calibrate my battery, it almost always drops to 97% after unplugging. Some times it will stay at 100 and stay at 100 for about an hour. Also, you'll be at say 50% and reboot the phone and be at 12% for 5 hours.

biggest frustration is the visual voicemail. i see a missed call, i see i have voicemail, but when i click "play" on the voicemail it says it can't play the voicemail.
only way to fix it is to power off phone, power on, then the voicemail will play. same problem i had on my old samsung flip phone 3 years ago. promised myself i would never again own a samsung phone but the Epic was the best phone available at the time. sigh.

That fix seems beyond annoying lol. I can understand the frustration behind that although there isn't that much voicemail in the world to be frustarted over unless you almost never answer your phone calls.

while at work (roughly 10 hours a day with commute) i rarely answer my personal phone. unfortunately that's when many people (or services like the comcast setup crew, etc.) call.
i end up rebooting my phone, just for voicemail, at least 4 times a week. i don't know if it's something i did (just running stock Froyo EB13 - rooted with EXT4 file system), an app i installed, etc., but it's odd to me that it happened on my old Samsung flip phone on Verizon and now on my Samsung Epic on Sprint.
ready for the rumoured Gingerbread update to officially drop (actually ready for source to come out so i can finally switch off of the stock firmware - for some reason i've been holding out flashing a custom ROM until gingerbread. probably silly of me, but that's what i've been telling myself).

i've never ever had that problem (knock on wood). Maybe a bad flash or something. try updating your voicemail app and make sure you have 3g when your checking your voicemail.
For the battery issue, nubecoder wrote something that can be implemented into kernels for a fuller more complete charge. I don't know which kernels incorporate this.. i'm currently on bakedsnack and it does have it. battery is superb.
When you have to completely close apps (market) just to get data to connect. Its as if its false 3g -_-

I have had this happen to me twice. I was more on the line of thinking that it is an app that I installed. I hadnt thought it was the task killer set to killing an app that would do this. I will turn off Auto Kill and also do an inventory of apps that I installed since I noticed the shutdowns.

I used a task killer on my Nexus One because old habits die hard. So when I moved to the Droid X I still had this habit. I quit using ATK this last Friday and havent had a single glitch or reboot since.
Could this be the case for others with reboot issues? Maybe, Maybe not.
If you have a task killer installed try uninstalling it for 2-3 days and see what happens.
I have never used a task killer but I had the same issue. A factory reset nor an .sbf restore from a brick changed it. My new phone just shipped yesterday as a replacement.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I was having atleast 2 reboots a day and when I deleted my task killer last week I haven't had any problems my phone is actually faster with out it. I think the task killer stops programs to make your phone run effectively.

I have been having the same issue. My phone will just rest to the animation screen not the motorola M. At first I thought it was chomp sms causing it cause a few times as sms texts would come in it reset. So I removed chomp but issue was still there so I wondered if set cpu was the issue cause I am ROOTED. So I remove that. Issue is still there. I done two factory resets and no help.
I do not see this being a hardware issue...... Tho if it is please someone enlighten me....
Reason is if it is software then I can wait til 2.2 or custom rom...
Please any help or insight would be great. My exchange period with verizon is ruining out. Don't want to return a item with proper hardware.
Please assist thank you.

I haven't ever used a task killer on the x, and still had the same issue. It got slowly worse, up to 2 or 3 reboots and 2 or 3 freezes (battery pull required) per day. Verizon shipped me out a new phone, and I just got it yesterday.
edit: the speaker's a good bit better, too. Not great, but definitely distinctly louder than my original one.
Any idea if I was to un root it if it would matter? Or if rooting did cause this... Is the damage done then?

Hi guys. I was on the Motorola Droid X page, under owner support, and came across this:
"The battery charger shipped with this device is a high rate charger specifically designed for your DROID X.
Other chargers might take longer to charge your battery, cause your calls to fail during charging, or cause your phone to continuously power cycle."
I know that I had been using my BB Storm 2's charger with my DX since they both use the same connectors, unaware that the charger actually made a difference. I also noticed the shut-down/restart issue, and had called VZW about it twice, prompting the tech to send me out a new one. I only found this tidbit by chance afterwards. Maybe myself and others might be doing the same, and unknowingly creating a power issue...just my $0.02

did you wipe your SD cards when you flashed the new rom? I don't have this behavior but I did have FC's and such because of some files on the SD. I have NONE of this behavior. Something is wrong for you, nothing is wrong with JI2 and freezing/rebooting.

I used to have this problem all the time too whenever I tried to use the gps, but since I've applied the leaked update that problem has gone away. But it seems like you're experiencing the issue at more random times. Have you noticed any particular pattern? For example, whenever you try to play music in the background and read a website at the same time.

Yup mine is bone stock not Rooted and it will lock up just siting there GPS, wireless and Bluetooth off in a very good signal area.

I haven't had this issue happen since I applied the flashable gps fix. Maybe it was an issue with an app that wanted to use GPS running in the background?

Mine has only frozen up once and it was at the end of a call screen turned off. I hit power and went to go unlock and it turned off again.. Would not turn back on but I know the phone was still on since I had apmobile enabled and it was still transmitting wifi connection. Oh I was using eugene's FrankenTwiz (underclocked to 400mhz)when it happened but same thing happened to my girlfriend and she had hybrid r3. Other than phone runs fine.
Ive had some odd reboots where I dont get a shutdown or boot animation or sounds, just freezes, goes black, keys light up, searching for signal boot process. Yesterday in maps trying to troubleshoot my gps. Stock rom,rooted, Ryan's lagfix.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Have the phone replaced. I had a phone that would randomly freeze and/or reboot. Nothing I did would fix it.
I talked to a T-mobile worker who had the same issue with one of the early demo-phones Samsung loaned to him. They just replaced his without every saying what the problem was.
I've been having this happen a lot lately myself, it happened to me before on stock ROM due to SetCPU, but now on the leaked ROM. I did not clean the SD card (internal or external), so will give that a shot when I have some time to copy files on/off the SD cards (one reason to dislike the internal SD is that I have to mount it to copy the files, ergh).
Is there anyway to make evo battery last longer

The usual popular ways involve custom kernals, specific charging routines.
As started above, the most effective way to find out is search the forums because there are literally thousands of post about that already existing

I can get my battery to stay at 100% for 4 hours is I have data turned off. That's 3g or 4g and WiFi. I turn it on when I go to check when I have the time then turn it off again. That's why the power notifications is a must have mod.

Use Wifi instead of 3g whenever possible. It makes a difference. Turn off 3g when you are at work this way you will still receive texts and calls. It really lasts. I'm on 19 hours with 37%.

I surf a lot on my phone...I mean a lot. I don't even use my PC anymore, and I probably surf the net for at least three to four hours a day (maybe more). Unfortunately, hours of surfing, even on WiFi, kills my battery. However, I have found that by turning brightness all the way down I can almost double my browsing time. It is a significant difference. You just have to learn to tolerate the dim screen, but for me it is very worth the trouble. And by the way, I have tried every trick I could find on this forum...moat made only marginal, if any, improvements. I use warm 2.2 with HTC 17 kernel.
Not much of a hack or trick...I know. But it is honestly worth it, at least for me.
[redacted] What are everyone's thoughts? So far for me, i feel it's i3 on steroids, and I feel pretty good about it. GPS didn't work at all for me on i3, and works well enough on bamboozle. I have done three drives successfully and one that gps failed after a few minutes.
Gives me much more hope for our gingerbread future.
Also... just now i experienced a new bug. Screen turned off while i had keyboard open and the keyboard backlight wouldnt turn back on till i closed it and reopened the slider. Never had that on any other rom.
Edit: don't post links to the rom... this thread needs to stay open. [redacted] i love reasonable discussion [redacted]

I had the same problem with i3. Haven't had it happen with bamboozle so far. I have had one or two lockups but I am pretty sure they are overclocking related with tegrak (tried to do 1.2 ghz with the default 1.275v, probably need 1.3v on my phone to be stable, and I'm not gonna pay for tegrak when hopefully source and new kernels are around the corner)

And this ROM is pretty good from what I've been using so far. After the modem settled in a little, 3G is somewhat about the same as EC05, where it was **** when it first got Odin'ed. Hopefully, it'll be updated to whatever is good about EG22.

I've been using it for about 24 hours; only issue I have is the daily briefing app crashes when adding a city, it force closes. No biggie really.
100% charged and stayed there for a bit; no weird jump down in %.
fastest ROM I've have used.
Here is my thought.
I live in Florida, and if a hurricane comes and knocks out power, I would like my cell phone to be able to send/receive e-mail/text, and phone calls. I don't want ANYTHING else to function like Facebook, Words with Friends, etc. to conserve battery life as much as I can.
Is there an easy way to do this in an emergency situation?
Freeze all the apps since you want email you cannot simply turn off data. Also note that there is a good chance power will be out to the cell tower near you as well. Generator power only lasts so long.

In an emergency situation you turn on airplane mode and toggle it once an hour or once every few hours to get messages. Power might be out for days, so you don't want data on all the time as its a waste and you prob don't need texts and emails immediately.

Keep in mind your TWS % is a big factor in battery drain. Also, if your area gets a direct hit, you most likely won't be able to call out. Texting will still work.

i was going to suggest this app. Juice Defender has preset power save options, it runs balanced by default, u can go up to advanced to save more battery and extreme to save alot of battery. You can also set up a custom plan to shut down pretty much everything but what u want.
