So Android OS has a bug - HTC EVO 3D

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-os-what-is-it/
this is crazy no wonder are phones battery dies fast, I wish the devs in xda can find a solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290020
^^^^^link to actual thread

From my understanding, this is an Samsung driver/kernel problem (not really clear as to which one) and doesn't affect the Evo 3D. Also, I think this bug prevents the phone from sleeping, which isn't a problem in the Evo 3D.
I could be wrong. I'm tired and haven't read most of it.

That's one hungry bug. Interesting to read though. Thanks for the post, u haven't heard about this.
Sent from my double barrel Shooter. BANG!

Just skimmed this via the xda app and not sure I agree with it all. I don't see this happening on my phone nor did I on the EVO 4G. I use system panel pro to purely monitor battery and app usage. Never use any task killer as they do more harm than good.
Just would of thought if this was a real issue it would of been pointed out before now.
I don't agree with using the stock OS battery usage though to guage it though as its not detailed enough.
I'll wait till xHausx or Net or another respected dev looks into this before really taking a side.
Just the bug they explain with CPU getting pegged seems like it would of been found by now if its real.
Least the fact my EVO 3D sleeps just fine. Prolly a Samsung issue. Yet another reason to not buy Samsung. Lol

Never ever had an issue like whats described in the thread, on my EVO4G. Though I wasn't around for the GB update to it so if it came after that OTA then I would of missed it.
The thing with going by the Android OS % use thats built into the OS by default is that sometimes some apps that get stuck will get tossed into that %, making it missleading. Hence why I use SystemPanel Pro and have monitoring on so I can track detailed use of everything and it breaks down the system use too so you can see what process of the system is running the most. I've seen times where Android OS is high but then check System Panel and its not at all abnormal and its really a App that has gotten stuck.
regardless I have yet to see anything close to this happening on the 3D which leads me to think its not really an "Android OS" problem in itself as much as its to do with the manufactures modifications to he OS and kernel more likely.
I will say though most of the time that I have experienced any battery drain it has been an app that is continuing to chew CPU even after backing completely out of it and not using it for 10-30min even. Seen it with the xda app sometimes and it seems completely random as sometimes when i back out of it, it closes the app fully and it no longer is eating away at CPU. Also seen it in my DBSTalk app too, both clean installs also.
---------- Post added at 07:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------
EDIT:
I might be taking back what I said about it not being in the EVO3D here. Just checked systempanel and looked at a weeks worth of time frame when looking at the "suspend" process and there is in fact 1 day where that process is higher than the rest and battery life is worse that day too.....
Will keep a closer eye on that process and see if I can catch this real time doing it myself.
still looking forward to Treve, xHausx, or any other respected Dev to chim in on this from an EVO3D perspective and get their thoughts on the thing as a whole too.

[ADDON] CM7 Dewonkificator [v1.4 03/17/11]

OK, I have written an app to attempt and stop call wonkyness on CM7 builds. Specifically the phone locking up when making and receiving calls.
It's my observation that it's the mic that causes the phone to lock up and so this app opens and closes the mic every minute to keep it "fresh". It's a long shot, but I can't seem to duplicate wonkyness with it enabled so I'm posting it for other to try.
Now after a few positive comments to help boost my confidence in the app, I've made it's own thread to make it easy to track comments.
Just install and run (or just reboot as it auto-start on boot). To disable, uninstall it.
Please post your results!
Change Log:
Version 1.4
Made service more persistent by adding notification bar. Turns out, Android was killing off the service when memory was running low causing wonk to surface.
Version 1.3
Can only be installed on internal memory. Needed to make sure the service can started up on boot. (Thanks to mjukis for pointing this out)
Version 1.2
Only dewonkificates when screen is off to avoid conflicts with any apps you may be using.
Removed debug logging
[Post edited because the wonkyness is still there and this .apk works fine to fix it]
Dude.... As best as I can tell in 20 minutes' time, this damn thing seems to actually work! Gotta tell ya how skeptical I was....but I'm pretty flippin' pleased right now!
Good looking out!!
Much appreciated for this app.
While it's still too early to say it's 100% working, so far so good.
I have had the wonk since build 3 to 23 (except for 16).
I will keep testing and report back often.
That's great news and I'm happy that it looks like it's working for people. I was on the edge of rolling back and this was a desperate attempt to fix it.
Agree with the op. Can't say for sure its the miracle I've been waiting for... but 4 calls in (admittedly 2 from myself, ) no wonks. When I'd expect all to be wonky
If this 'wonklessisity' continues you will surely become supreme ruler of xda!
Will report back soon.

Currently I can't see any measurable battery drain. Dewonkificator doesn't even show on the About phone->Battery use screen. Increasing the time between dewonkification might be work, but since battery doesn't seem to be a issue and we don't know what the source of the problem is I don't think its worth risking or investigating.
I also believe it have something to do with the mic, since all apps that use it have the same freeze, and it seems to work for me. Thanks

Maybe watchdog would be a better app for checking. Would give us a better idea of CPU use. Also juice plotter may help see prior and after install battery consumption

Wonky just visited me when my wife called. Installed your dewonky app for testing.

This bug is the reason I got off CM7 nightlies, so damn annoying. Maybe this is a Gingerbread thing rather than a Nexus S problem cause the Nexus S is supposed to be rebooting itself while in calls as I'm sure everyone knows.

Battery uses WAAAAAAAAAAY to much?

How the heck is it possible that while screen-off, my battery usage is between -401 and -495 mA? Is this normal? GSM version btw.
I had an android HD2, it uses average of -3mA
I know this sounds stupid, but have you installed any apps? HTC has said most battery drain issues are due to "bad" apps. Maybe do a nandroid, wipe data, and perform the same test from a stock clean ROM?

Might be an obvious question but do you have a Live Wallpaper enabled?
check your battery use in the settings. That'll help narrow what the cause is. Also keep an eye on your signal strength. Switching between roaming an not roaming takes a toll on the battery. Weaker signals also mean the phone is working harder to keep the signal. You can also go to Applications -> running services to see if anything instslled is keeping the phone awake.
Can you guys post some currentwidget readings of yourself?

Same exact problem here. My HD2 would use anywhere from 2-6 ma on idle with the screen off. This was running a non-sense ROM of course (CM7 or Vanilla 2.3).
My 3VO is still stock and it idles at anywhere from 40 to 300+ ma. It makes no sense. My HD2 got far better battery life with a much smaller battery.
I think once we get rid of stupid ass sense and get a clean AOSP/CM7 build, things will be much nicer.

That's all "normal" if you can call it that. Display taking up the most, but still in standby the readings are very high, but I guess sense does this seeing as more people have this problem..

Practically, how much is your battery life dropping? Example: 100% to 60% in 2 hours? And what was the phone used for in that duration.
For example, If I charge my CDMA EVO 3D to 100% at 9pm and unplug it and leave it idle overnight, it goes from 100% to 98% by 7am. So, on idle, it drops 2% in 10 hours.

[Q] What caused my sudden overheat & battery drain today?

Hello,
I've had my GS II for about a week, and the battery life has been pretty stellar, except for days where I work at the office. For some reason, there, the battery drains at about 2x the rate than in other areas. A very similar thing happened with my Captivate, but the battery lasts longer with the GS II.
However, today, at around 1PM, my phone started heating up so that it was hot to the touch, and the battery drained 60% in about 1.5 hours. Something went terribly wrong. And even plugged in, it was draining faster than it could charge!
How can I find out what happened? I don't want this to happen again.
The only thing I did was listen to a podcast with BeyondPod, but I do that every day at work over lunch. So, nothing new in my utilization.
Any ideas appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon
(AT&T SG II, stock, unrooted)

I had a similar experience today. I was talking on the phone when the top of the phone got really hot. Like it hurt my ear to hold the phone against it. And then the phone rebooted. Since then it's been running phone. Need to figure out what caused it though. Might be a similar issue. But my battery life has been pretty good though. Can easily make it through a day with moderate to heavy use.
I am running CM 7.1. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. But even if it did, there is no way I am going back to stock.

Unfortunately, AOS often falsely reports high. Sometimes high AOS usage is fine, sometimes it's not.
I've gotten some of my best battery life with AOS at 60%.
Can't tell what happened to you without some statistics.

Yeah, this sounds very similar to what happened to me, but with stock ROM.
Two follow-on questions:
1. If it's ROM-independent, then could it be something in the hardware that's short-circuiting? Like... the cellular chipset, or perhaps the modem firmware?
2. Can you explain what about CM 7.1 is so superior to the stock rom, which I'm finding pretty fantastic at the moment?

Unfortunately, I don't think I can go back in history, can I? It's a new day, with a new charge... and I'm imagining that the battery meters reflect today's activity, not yesterday's disaster...
Sh1t happens. That's the way it was with multiple Windows Mobile phones I had in the past and it is obviously the way it is with multiple Android phones I have now. Usually a quick reboot of the phone will resolve the problem. As long as it didn't happen again persisitently, you are fine.
The cause is somewhere some app or service was stuck in a bad place that uses a lot of CPU or data or both. This will cause phone heats up and battery darin faster. Unless you have full dev environment and logging on the phone, it is virtually impossible to track it down.

Yeah, but does this kind of thing happen to iPhones and WinPho phones? Just curious. I am trying to convince friends & family that with the GS II, Android has finally reached parity with iOS. Perhaps not quite yet... ??
i never had battery drain but once in a while I do notice my phone gets hot on the back cover in between the SGS logo and the camera while I'm using it. If I put it down for a bit, it cools off. I figured it was just hot from use and I never thought anything more of it.

What make you think GS2 is any better than other Android phones in this regard? Anyone can make a mistake or two in programming and it is impossible to write bug free code.
Remember, latest Android Gingerbread OS is 2.3.7 and we are at 2.3.4. There are a lot of bug fixes (and new bugs) in each incremental release from Google alone. On top of that you have Samsung's customization code and various apps you installed.

It does happen to iPhones for sure. We switched from blackberry devices to the iPhone, at work, three months ago. We had five different devices experience similar heat and battery issues. The cause is typically from apps or services that sync with online data.

Cyanogenmod 7 ROM Review

If you have a DX2 this ROM is a MUST!!!!!! You have to down load it! Why Motorola would let Verizon fill the phone with some so crap is beyond me. Stock, the phone was a little buggy and made me wish asurion would give me back my cracked DX. It was choppy and the 512MB of RAM got was used up quickly with all the BLUR (Yes its good now but 512MB isnt enough). Stock google with no blur equals a dual core phone that flies!!! Take your time, follow the directions and you will never look back!!!

Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
alright well so far what i have noticed with this rom (and i came from the most recent version of eclipse) are the following:
1.) Battery life is much worse than before. i used to have 70 to 80 percent on days i wouldnt use or touch the phone and it would sit in my pocket for 90 percent of the school day. i barely touch my phone in school and when i got home today after practice, i was already down to 30% which made me slightly depressed.
2.) ive noticed there are small amounts of lag sometimes with the phone, granted when i was running eclipse, i was running speedy and a 3g script.
3.) i have had a little trouble with the gallery but it might just be the fact that my memory card is starting to poop on my face because its overstuffed to the brim
so now for a few questions. can you run any of the good scripts with cm7 because i really dont see alot of this speed that everyone keeps talking about compared to when i was running eclipse. is there also a way to increase the battery life like delete the file that saved the previous battery stats?
thanks for reading btw
Regarding your question about scripts, I believe the general consensus is that the scripts that we had run on the other ROM's should not be necessary.
However, someone in another thread posted this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21689117&postcount=3 and claims it helped w/ his battery life. He doesn't say by exactly how much, but he seems happy.
I haven't had many issues w/ battery life and I've seen improvement over the Eclipse rom, but you might want to monitor your current battery usage for patterns.
thanks! but yeah ive also noticed with this "hacked" cm7 recovery that when i try to install it it wants to force close, and when i click wait, a few seconds later it says install success! and when i click recovery mode it just shuts off and never reboots. whats the problem?

Great review, enjoyed the video as well! I am so stoked about this rom! I just flashed it last night. I have not been this excited about my X2 since the first Gingerbread rom was released.
I do notice a big decrease in battery life but I am going to try and calibrate the battery and see if that helps. Also, I'm going to give it a few days too since I've been using the phone more than usual too setting everything up.

Random reboot theory

I have noticed something so I'll test my hypothesis over the next day or two.
When in have my case on my phone I get random reboots. Its a form fitting case. Nothing fancy.
When out of my case no random reboots.
I'll try without case for 24 hours and report back. Hope I don't drop it lol.

any results you get would just be random because people on stock get no reboots or VERY rarely, it simple as ALL JB custom roms we have are hack jobs, all the great devs are doing best can be done without official souce/drivers
crazy thing is man im having the same issue im getting reboots when it reboots ! crazy lol
Random reboots are because we don't have the stock kernel info
Confucius say... man who go to bed with itchy butt wake up with smelly finger
My phone stopped rebooting as soon as I got a nexus 7 and started using it more. I think it's jealous and wants a little more play time.
What size re-boots are we talking about here ?
I wear size 11..(grin )
Well so far my hypothesis is being ridiculed by myself and other, however....
Almost 19 hours with no case and NO random reboots.
I must conclude at this early stage that my size 13.5 reboots are in some way being caused by my skin tight case. Hmmm...I know the Kernel is an issue but I wonder if there is another element involved.
Guess I"ll have to tell wife I"m gonna have to buy another more expensive case to further me scientific research.
EDIT: My hypothesis was proved invalid. Literally the second after I posted the above it freaking REBOOTED! Oh well.
I'd add my tight case story to this.
I was using a tight fitting zenus flip case and my touchscreen was horrible at the bottom left area. I had a feeling it was affecting the digitizer because when I take it out of that case, it's completely fine.
I don't use that case anymore because I'm afraid it will cause permanent damage if left on for too long.

Although your hypothesis seems promising in reality they are called random reboots for a reason. I've gone a full week without a RR and then come last Tuesday I had gotten maybe 3 or 4 in the same day and then at least once a day until today. I literally changed nothing, updated apps like I regularly have for the entirety of the phone- in all honesty I've concluded that the reboots have no logic or meaning to their pattern- although I have found when many apps are open and the RAM is stressed at its near upmost capacity it seems to almost always reboot while scrolling in any app [reddit, xda, etc.]. This, is truly the only factor i have determined to be valid through experience.
TD;RL: Random reboots are random.

That's because you said it out loud and didn't knock on wood.

DAMMITTTT!!!! I knew I was missing something. Thanks for reminding me after the fact Bubba! :silly:
In my case, my reboots almost always happen when a play store update comes through. It'll be normal then lockup then reboot. Then ill get a notification that there is an app update(s)

This. Uncheck anything auto update related in play store.

The random reboots are exceedingly annoying. Mostly because after every random reboot, there is a 50% chance that when it reboots there will be NO audio during calls. All other audio works, except for calls. When this happens, the only way to fix it is to re-flash the rom in recovery - sometimes I need to reflash more than once for it to start working again. This of course makes using CM10 difficult as a daily driver for me, so I am hoping they fix this soon.

This is very interesting, because when I think back to every time it has crashed - there are one or more auto updates which happen immediate after the device boots back up.
I will try this. I wonder if manual updates can also cause a crash.

I think we can try anything but the simple fact is until we get code, JB will be unstable. I have gone back to ICS until or if we ever get an official release.
I do understand though the interest in trying the outstanding roms our devs are producing. I just need a stable Rom for my business use.

You're quite right, I disabled auto-updates, and just had two more random reboots anyway. That seals it for me, I am going back to CM9 for the time being.

Do you have "everything" unchecked related with the auto updates? My random reboots went away only after I disabled notifications. Only box checked now is "update over WiFi only" option, no more reboots, and the phone feels liberated.
