My 4g constantly requires a battery pull once a day, this is my 4th evo and all of them are the same. evo freees, have the pull battery to get it back working again, getting tired of it and it's not rooted.
What's the cause for this and why haven't htc produced a fix?
Also I'm thinking of picking up something else cheap and selling my evo, Motorolla photon or htc evo design? what's a better be?
What's the resale value of my evo 4 g/ 120?
Are you updated with the latest OTA? Have you done a factory reset recently?
Yes, all my evos freeze.

I would try rooting it and flashing a good, solid ROM like MikG 3.11.

I had 3.0 and it frooze too, it's either all the evos freeze or its a program I'm running.
Can someone comment of the other phones?
It's something your doing, because the EVO 4G has been around almost 2 years and never heard of anyone having that problem before. And even if someone did have that problem on 1 phone, it wouldn't happen on a 2nd, let alone 4.
So I highly doubt changing to a different phone will help you at all.
Mine freezes occasionally, usually when I'm impatient and try to do a bunch of stuff right after it boots up and is still loading. Other than that, no freezes or other problems. It could be an app that you always have installed, maybe you should try factory resetting and see if it still does it. If it doesn't, slowly reinstall your apps until it does, then you'll be able to narrow down the problem more easily.

That being said the EVO Design 4G is a nice handset, my brother has one...with little rooting or 3rd party ROM support as of yet...I don't think there's even a forum for it on XDA.
Only time my phones freeze is when I try to do something right after boot b4 the media scanner finishes running or when I try to push the clockspeed past its limits just to see what will happen like the time I clocked the evo to 1.6 and it would freeze the bootani and need to be restored or on the et4g I tried clocking it to 2ghz and it would boot but then go to sleep of death once the screen goes off gotta pull the battery to turn it back on
Yeah, I've had my Evo since launch day, and the only time I have to do battery pulls is when I've tried clocking too high, or running a really experimental ROM.
The problem is on your end, I would say. Good luck. There's already good advice posted here.

More than likely in your case its an errant app causing freezes maybe something sideloaded from a 3rd party market that's not compatible with your device or some kind of mod or tweak you've used

If he's unrooted/stock, I don't think there are many apps/mods that would cause this kinda behavior.
Sent from my PC36100 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
There are tons of apps and mods you can use unrooted, you can sideload apps on any rom by checking the unknown sources box and downloading and app from the internet and installing it even if it isn't mean for your device, and there are many mods you can do to unrooted devices such as 3rd party launchers, some scripts that can be run that don't require root, changing the SD read ahead cache, setting up profiles for CPU clockspeeds in apps such as setcpu or something similar, plus he mentioned he wasn't rooted then said he was rooted, he could be trying to use an app that requires root on an unrooted device, the possibilities of app conflicts on a rooted or unrooted device are near endless, especially if you use sideloaded apps that are cracks or warez such as games

Hi, i dont know if you guys notice it already, but the evo has a latency on the screen response.
For exp., if you play a instrument on it like drum or piano, the sound will delay after we touch the screen, so it makes it impossible to play music on it.
I would like to know if is there any way we can set the screen response latency. My evo is V2 with froyo2.2 non rooted.
Thanks.
In compare to the iphone, the iphone has almost 0 lantency.
Have you tried a different kernal? I went from the stock HTC kernal to Netarchy's kernal and everything was greatly improved when it came to screen response (and many other things as well).
Edit: Just noticed that you weren't rooted. I would suggest rooting your phone and THEN flashing a different kernal. The trouble of the rooting process is well worth it in the end.
If you root and flash a kernel with a fps fix such as netarchy you can ditch the input lag. The fix for 60 fps essentially doubles the refresh rate of the screen giving you better touch response and at the same time allows the evo to display more frames per second.

Wouldn't that mean you can't charge your phone anymore? I'd say you have about 8 hours to get rooted, find your rom of choice, pick a kernal, and a theme if you're really adventurous.
After that, it's going to look like a black rectangle.
You should be able to accomplish it using these two apps from the market.
adbWireless (for adb) and WebSharing or AwesomeDrop (for transferring files onto your SDcard wirelessly)

I know its early and I'm all for sticking it out with this thing but just wow. Apart from having to reboot it at least every day if not every day, I came home today and the thing wouldn't even turn on. It must have locked up in standby and I couldn't get it to wake up. I had to hold down volume up and power to revive it. I'm wondering if its some app I have running in the background so I uninstalled a few and will see. Is this common or am I the unlucky schmuck.
I have not had anything that bad.... just a few FC's ..Maybe an app or launcher?
I get hundreds of fcs but not restarts... I would return that pronto. My fcs usually consist of XDA and Facebook...

The only instability I have is with the browser locking up (not force closing, just not responding to input), and that seems to have started after updating to 3.0.1 (but before installing Flash).
i haven't had many fc's at all...maybe 5 or so since I bought it wednesday.
Overall its been running really smooth
Don't get me wrong.. its smooth as butter but closing the Facebook app is almost always a fc not to mention the launcher reloads often when old apps are closed. I am rooted as well with the latest update

Yeah most of the instability, if not all, are just apps that aren't fully compatible. I've had my fair share of FC, but its all app based.
Aka Facebook, etc.

Device hardware can of course vary or be faulty, but these problems (force closes, not foreclosures lol ) are mostly due to buggy software and user error.

So i tried flashing the original .apks i had themed then it bootlooped so i sbf'd to the old froyo, so im stock right data/factory reset too. entered my twitter stuff and the old blur social widget still isnt working correctly, am i the only one having these problems?
edit: reflashed rootedgb.zip working fine now lets see what happens when i re-flash gbrooteddeodexed.zip

maybe sony changed the cpu frequency table in the new kernel, would account for the reboots
2.3.3 fixed it for me.
Just to be clear my phone does not reboot it shuts off and the only way I can get it back on is by popping the battery and putting it back in.

That is your punishment for using task killers
The only possible reason to use a task killer anymore is if for some strange reason you want to kill your battery as fast as possible.

I've had resets after quitting games too.
I only had one random reboot during phone call (-_-)
But except that everything's been fine.
I've had two random reeboks since getting the phone.
Once on 2.3.2 and once on 2.3.3 whlist using Opera mini.
Opera Mini also randomly closes on me way too often, I think a lot of apps aren't fully compatible with 2.3 and it causes the OS to spaz out and shut down.
cpu's are designed to reboot if they detect any kind of extreme (heat or high/low frequencies ect) some cpu are very sensitive to very high or low frequencies, if sony has changed the tables, it could be somthing as simple as a big jump in the frequency at high load time that is making the cpu reboot the device, check the log function in setcpu, i think you maybe able to change the frequencies, i know with my DHD and the same cpu, i had some reboot issues when the devs started messing about with the tables
I am currently running EH06, stock/deodexed and am experiencing seemingly random reboots. I was curious to see if this issue is memory leak related, and from general RAM checking, I believe it may be. Of my available 342 MB of ram, RIGHT NOW my phone reports 241 MB taken up, I have seen that value getting up into the low 300's at it's peak, and unfortunately I haven't seen it immediately preceding a reboot.
I decided to check the memory usage from the command line, and when I run 'free' via the bash shell, of the 350400 KB (342MB) of potential RAM - which matches nicely with what the phone is reporting - I am being told I in fact have 321 MB of RAM taken up. Now I'm no Linux/Android guru, but that doesn't seem right.
So I opened up a bunch of apps, visited a couple of websites, backed out to the home screen and rechecked my numbers. I am now at 302MB/342MB according to the task manager app, but 338MB/342MB according to 'free'. Using the 'Clear Ram' button, I was able to knock it back down, but I have seen it in the past few days not drop the used RAM amount upon pressing that button...
I'm experincing similar problems , it seems every day I need to do a reeboot to keep my ram usage down cause when I first boot , let everything load ... then kill tasks I have around 180 free but after about a day when I kill tasks I have around 80 free and I need to reboot for peace of mind I don't know what it is but I hope I get fixed ....

The paid "Full" version of Memory Booster allows to to set (raise) the minimum RAM threshold supposedly. I just got it and will see if I change it and install and run a bunch of apps if it prevents the reboots. Huh, I got the "Full" version but the minimum RAM threshold is set in the MB RAM Optimizer app. I will change it from 15% to 35% and see if it stops reboots tonight.

I've been getting these "random" reboots with all of the GB leaks. Been looking at my logcat but I can't make heads or tails out of what the messages mean. Currently using catlog for the logcat reader, never seen anything under the lowest level "what a terrible failure" but get tons of stuff under the next level up "error".
currently running eg22.
Would love a thread detailing how to do anything with this that might help figure out what's causing these issues.

Great John, let us know. The free version is great for seeing what is REALLY using your memory. Not the little bit the stock task manager kills. Apps are constantly loading in the background even if you haven't used them in months. If you go to Task Killer in Memory Booster Lite you will see this "ninja" apps stealing your memory. This is what people keep calling memory leaks. They are real apps loading.
