So i have a verizon fascinate and am currently running cm7. (first tried the stable release but niw a nightly). Im eeally liking cm, but since i got it my battery life is garbage. Basically the drain seems to come from either the android os sercice or cell standby. Whenever i leave my phone inactive for a while, when i wake it up the battery has dropped a lot and tge phone is very warm. I have been modding this phone for a while, but im no android programmer. Purely based on the forum searchi. G ive done on the issue, it seemsblike cm7 has an issue with my modem or radio.
Extra info: my 3g/2g signals seem fine (always 0% time without signal). Wifi connectivity seems fine. Im also running glitch's kernal altho the problem has persisted with and without it (i did do a kernel cleaning first). I used the "go from anything to jb vanilla" guide cuz i was having issues switching to mtd at first (sry dont have a link rite now but it was on xda) . I get occassional force closes, but not really a problem. When i did a titanium back up, the very first time i flashed cm7 i Did restore system settings, but i did not do that every time since then. Ive done a fresh flash of the stable mod around 3 times trying different stuff, but this one is niggtly as i said, and each has had this issue.
If looked around a lot, and wgile this seems common, no one has posted a consistent solution or explanation to the problem, so thats what im looking for.

You could flash jt's vanilla gb rom. That has good battery life.

I have had the standby battery drain on every CM7 version and Kernel tried so far including 7.1 stable,7.0 nightlies,JT's Vanilla,and PoolParty. It's even worse if I shut phone down and don't plug in. It will drop 50 to 75% overnight with phone not on?
Has done it with undervolting,overclocking,and voltage control not even installed. This is first time I have seen others having similiar issues.
I think this is a known issue for all MTD roms on the fascinate, if I'm not mistaken.

I lose only 5% to 10% overnight on CM7 never really notice how much on MIUI cause I never ran it long enough. I guess every phone would behave differently for MTD's or maybe you have an app or mulitple ones that refreshes frequently(Fancy Widget comes to mind).
Well that really sucks, because i do enjoy cm7. But this also means if i go back to a touchwiz configuration like stock dl09 i shouldnt have these issues right?
But before that, has anyone who had these issues tried anything (ie kernels or maybe standby mode power conservation setting, etc... ) that have at least noticeably improved your battery life? Right now mines pretty unbearable (im talking 8hrs while on but totally inactive), but if i can get it up a little i might b able to manage.

I am also experiencing poor battery life. I just flashed 7.1.0 yesterday and absolutely love it. Was using com rom for a few months, but a friend said to try out cwm 7. I used to get about 6 - 8 hours of Pandora while at work and today I only got about 4 before my phone shut off. I'm going to try completely killing battery and charge with phone off tonight an see if it's any better tomorrow.
Any other suggestions? I'm not a noob when it comes to custom roms and flashing (I used to flash the **** out of my G1) but there may have been something I over looked when switching to cwm7. I wiped everything a few times before flashing including battery stats and dalvic.
My battery life is actually really good. Running latest nighty, undervolted -75 across the board,stock kernel, and no overclocking.
Just can't figure why I lose 50-75% of battery overnight when phone is shut down and not charging?
I have the same issue with CM7.1, turning phone of at 80% battery at night to find it at 25% at morning
Is there knows solution?
I'm posting this here because I hope some devs might be able to get a handle on the problem. I think it has something to do with the launcher.
Since I upgraded my phone to a 2.3.4 ROM, I've had constant problems with its randomly rebooting, or occasionally just freezing. (I say "rebooting", but it always gets stuck in a boot loop, and so it might as well be frozen.) The first ROM was Synergy, but I've had the same trouble on Warm, and with three or four different kernels (OC'ed and not OC'ed) on each of those ROM's. In some configurations it's better, and in some it's worse, but I've nearly always had the reboots happen at least once a day. Sometimes it happens while charging, sometimes while it's not; sometimes it happens while I'm touching it, and sometimes when I haven't touched it in hours (kind of annoying when it's my alarm clock--I missed a meeting last week). There's not a lot of consistency in when it happens, though I should say, for the record, that I've been using Launcher Pro the whole time.
Obviously, I'm not the only one with this problem: for some, like me, it started with 2.3.4 (including, in many cases, the stock OTA); for others, it started when the phone was first released; while for others, it's never happened at all. The fact that some people haven't experienced it at all may mean hardware has something to do with it, and I even read one account of a guy who took five different phones back to Sprint for replacements before finding one that worked right.
After searching high and low, I found a thread on the Sprint Community forums that suggested editing the data.prop file to keep the launcher in memory constantly (Look here and scroll down to post #9.). I tried this a couple of days ago, and it hasn't fixed the problem, but it did dramatically reduce it: I went from rebooting every two hours to rebooting once or twice a day.
I've noticed one other interesting thing: a couple of months ago, I started playing Godville, and I've been propping the phone up next to me and letting it idle with the screen on (while on USB), so that I can glance over every once in a while to see if anything is happening in the game. I've noticed that, every few minutes, the home screen wallpaper briefly replaces the app I have open; it happens so fast that I can't tell for sure if the whole launcher is coming up, but I suspect it is. I wonder if this constant yanking of the launcher into the foreground might be the source of the instability.
my mind is like..... blowwwwn

no but on a serious note man... many people have had problems with reboots since the launch of the 3D, which was 2.3.3 based. I doubt that was the issue (launcher, your update, your games... gnomes...)
i would say flash the RPM PGIMG86423million update whatever that number is for the bootloader update.zip, and see if that rids you from the reboots.
for me, i fixed my reboots by getting a new SD card... i had the same issue when i first got my 3D late in july. Did it both on 2.3.3 base, and 2.3.4... it occurred to me one day that a bad disk would cause system reboots... and not being able to change out the one built into the phone... i opted for the SD card because it was cheap and i wanted a better one anyways. reboots went away immediately.
it also never occurred to me initially that my SD had been bad for a long time... not just when i had my 3D.. on my previous phone (samsung moment with froyo), whenever i would move apps to the SD card, i would always get some kind of error message. trying to move them a couple times would always successfully move the app(s) to the SD card.. i figured this was a problem with the rom i was on (speaking of my samsung moment)...
then when i transferred my card to my 3D, same problem, along with the reboots, and a light clicked on in my brain and said "***k-tard, your SD card is bad. derp."
haven't had a single reboot since then. i even wonder if the paramount number of people having reboot issues on the 3D was due to HTC possibly shipping them with defective SD cards...
just something to mix around in your brain for a bit...
Yeah, I considered the SD card as a problem, but the reboots happen even when the SD card is mounted as a USB drive. Also, a bad SD card wouldn't explain why keeping the launcher in memory dramatically reduces the problem.
I'll be giving it a try.
Just a side note. I've been using the stock kernel lately and havn't had a single reeboot. I'm on synergy rom and since he put back in the stock kernel w/ no OC I've had no issues.
I may try that, but it would be sad to not to able to OC a rooted phone. I'm starting to wonder if it's a bad internal flash drive, though.
You should try a stock ROM to see if that solves your issue if that's doesn't work maybe you have defective phone

All my problems went away when I used Senseless ROM. I think the kernel in the ROM is stock. It's been over two weeks since my phone has frozen on me and no more random reboots.
Only stable kernels are tiamat and stock. All the others cause bootloops thanks to tryin to remove ciq
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I'm having the same reboot issues. I've noticed a few things:
1. Doesn't matter what sd card or how new, my phone reboots unexpectedly
2. Phone ONLY reboots RIGHT when the screen times out. Only on Android 2.3.4 w/ sense! It does not matter what kernel. Whatever I do, all reboots are directly related to sense on 2.3.4.
3. The only solution I have found is to deactivate the screen time out or gut HTC proprietary sense from the ROM.
P.s. I DO NOT have problemswith any ota based off 2.3.3

Nor for me. It causes daily hard lockups that require a battery pull on my phone. Tiamat exhibited this on multiple ROMs for me.
I think trying a largely stock rom is a must as a start to tracing your problem. So is incremental additions of apps, tweaks, etc. Basic debugging and defect isolation stuff.

What about bcblend by mwalt? Senseless rom has been using that for quite some time and I haven't had any issues. When it was switched to tiamat for a short time (2.5 & 2.6, i believe) I had problems with lockups and reboots. Reboots would occur when the screen timed out every once in a while.
Just curious OP - have you tried the phone on a newly installed rom without installing any side apps for a day or so and seeing if you have any problems? Back on my old nexus S 4g i had issues with a particular battery app that would give similar problems to what you are experiencing.
Tiamat has not been stable for me either. I tried many different rom and kernel combos and am still having the issue. I noticed it is mostly happeneing when the phone is plugged in. but it also happens sometimes when im on a call. So there has to be more than one issue one being the proximity sensor and i cant figure out the other ive hset charging profiles to 384max and 198 min and other low clock speeds to see if it would help. Also set a temp profile to underclock when its over 38.0 celsius. Right now im running olympus trinity xe titan i ran it for a few days with mild anthrax and it only froze/rebooted a few times a day. I tried the anthrax kernel and it rebooted twice the first half hour so i flashed tiamat last night. Im trying to give it time to settle in but it just rebooted again when i plugged into pc. I bought my phone used and rooted before i even activated it so i dont know if this is something kernel/rom related. I started another thread a few days ago about this and the few responses i got were people running stock romand kernel not rooted. So i guess all we can hope for is the devs to figure it out or sprint to give us an ota that fixes it since im starting to belive its a hardware issue.
If you're on titan freezas is recommended.

Not for that long a period, no--unfortunately, I haven't been in a position where I could give up most of the use of my phone for that long. Once I have grades submitted next Monday, I can probably do more methodical testing.
I'm still freaked out by the way the launcher pops up every few minutes, though--has anyone else ever seen anything like that?

Moving to General
One of my favorite rom and kernel combo's is infected eternity with anthrax but random reboots are common for me with any sense based rom. I run MIUI with whatever aosp kernel and everything is flawless. Other than experimenting with kernels to find battery life, MIUI is the most stable rom I have used so far and is my new daily driver!

My evo also reboots and i havent rooted my phone at all. I did get a new SD card and that reduced the amounts of reboots i get! . Although, i still get a few every week.
hope sprint/person finds a fix for this soon.
Mine did it stock / rooted stock and viper ROM I an on fresh and so far smooth as butter ... Stock rooted was awful every time it would time out bam reboot

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me....I'm getting kind of desperate here! Basically my Atrix keeps randomly rebooting or getting stuck with the screen off (requiring a batter pull) . This happens about 10-20 times a day (my Atrix is far too unreliable right now to use as a daily). This seems to ONLY happen when on network (ie 2g/3g/hspa) and doesn't seem to happen on wifi. I can leave it on all night and day at home on wifi happily with no trouble but as soon as I go to work and leave it on network, the trouble starts. Its weird cause if the phone is doing something with the screen off (playing and streaming music over Bluetooth for example) it won't have any problems. Its only once I leave it at rest on the network that it turns into the most unreliable handset ever.
At first I thought it may be the neutrino rom I was running but I've since been using jokersax's amazing ics builds and the same problem persists. I did a full clean (format /data & /system plus cache and factory wipe ) and loaded on the latest beta build this morning, left it clean with zero apps except google (and xda!) and within an hour of getting to work the problem came back.
I am fully boot loader and network unlocked.
Please, if anyone has any idea I would be really grateful. I am tearing my hair out!

Why not try a more stable ROM first and see if you get reboots.You do realize some phones just cannot handle unstable roms like the cm9 builds even though they are great for some ppl it just doesn't workout also maybe you are using an oc kernel that your phone cannot handle.I would check both things first.
Try some a bit more stable.
cm7 ba2ft
wetdream
darkside
gingermod
If you get the same with those then maybe fastboot wipe and stuff like that so you can clear everything out
EDIT: flash a radio too

Hey,
Thanks, I'm going to try Gingerblur tonight... I had ruled that out as I have used darkside/gingerblur before and apart from the occasional reboot they were OK. The reboot was OK really, I know its a known issue with this model even with unrooted handsets, as long as its occasional and clean boots back to system again it doesn't really matter as I don't pin lock my sim (currently my problems are either a reboot every three minutes as soon as I switch the screen off... or, more commonly, the dead screen, needing that battery pull) .
I *suspect* that it may be the radio, but really need some solid advice on this because a couple of years ago I completely bricked my G1 by flashing the wrong radio and vowed never to touch radios again if I didn't have to....I am naturally very hesitant about radio flashing from that episode. Can anyone give me some decent advice on which radios i should be looking at for an unlocked ( but formerly Orange UK) Atrix? One very nervous owner here!
The other weird thing is that is perfectly fine when on a power source.

Hang on, I'm not making sense here, maybe it is these advanced ROMs, I was just surprised that neutrino (a cm7 based rom) also produced these reboot problems. Anyway, any advice on radios would be appreciated

As long as you flash atrix radios only you should be okay. I flashed just about every applicable radio on my brother's captivate and never bricked it.
I agree with you and previous posters, it sounds like a radio issue for sure.

I have the same problem with my Atrix running cm7 ba2ft. Sometimes it does not respond when you try to unlock, and I need to take out the battery to turn it on again. I bought the phone couple of weeks ago.
another thing to look at would be the battery my friend had similar problems with his nexus and tryed Roms and radios I bought him a new battery as a joke and the joke ended up on me cause he hasn't had the problem since let me know if this helped you aswell

Same problem here. Very aggravating.
I am having the same problem. And I am 100% stock with no mods. I just installed OTA 2.3.6 so I am waiting to see if that helped.
Yeah, I'm really worried this is a hardware problem - I've been quiet these past couple of days testing the brand new GB radio and when that still had errors i then also tried the European one - the problem still persists. I have now downloaded every Atrix radio under the sun now so may try a few more...
This is quite frustrating as a) I really want to enjoy ICS as it really is a step up from previous versions of Android and b) I no longer have the option of selling this in its current state.
I'm also going to try a new battery as WikidClown suggested above, can't harm....I can pick up one on Amazon for less than a tenner.
One thing is for sure, I don't think I will be buying Moto hardware again!

i baught my atrix used. everything was stock. still had multiple reboots and battery pulls daily. on cm9 they seem to happen less. and the battery pull only happened once. but i know the issue must still be there. might try my wifes battery. her atrix has rebooted maybe 5 times ever. 3 since this last official update (she is still lock stock and 2 smoking barrels)
OK, trying a new battery is my last hope...I did a fastboot wipe this morning and for an hour and a half it was all going so well...but then the reboot happened.
I'm getting a bit fed up with this pos hardware...I can't even sell this thing in this state.

Anyone have any other experiences? I have confirmed that it isn't the battery...I bought a new batter and within 45 minutes it has rebooted once and done the screen off thing where it needs a battery pull. Complete crap.
One thing to note is that it does seem to get very warm on the back, although the internals ( behind the battery) don't seem so bad. Is there any way to keep the temp down aside from underclocking? All my roms have always been under clocked so I know that doesn't make any difference.
The other thing I might try is to use something like Noled so the phone isn't completely idle. Might drain the battery a bit unnecessarily though....why couldn't Moto have put in an amoled screen?
Anyway, will report back once I've tried it.

I used to get tons of random reboots and then I was told to get the app called "Wake My Android Pro". Settings -> Test Activity -> Auto Startup, and Stop Activity checked. Weird settings, I know, technically with stop activity checked it doesn't do anything, but ever since then I don't experience random reboots. This was a few months ago when I was on just CM7. I've always installed this app when I get a new rom and I've tried Neutrino, Darkside, Alien, Aura, CM7, Wet Dream, and currently on joker's CM9 beta 1 build and RARELY experience random reboots. It went from once an hour to once a month now. I'm also on the .36p radio if that helps.

The most annoying thing about troubleshooting a problem like this is that there is no immediate 'it worked or 'it didn't work' ....it's just a waiting game! Thanks a lot though, really hope it does work (and thanks for replying, was starting to feel like I was answering threads to myself!).

I have two galaxy s2s. one is i9100 and the other one is i777 on at&t.
SoD happened once on each phone. The i777 was running stock gingerbread and the i9100 was running resurrection remix 1.9.1 with the siyan kernal I believe.
The screen just wouldn't turn on so I just pulled the battery out (is it safe for the phone?)
This doesn't happen often,well just once each on each phone as stated before, but it does bug me as it makes me think there's something wrong with my phones, and pulling the battery out doesn't seem like it's good for the phone.
I searched around the forum a bit and saw other people are having this issue as well. And not just the galaxy s2, but other phones too.
only sleep of death in almost 10 months of use is when i tried xwlp9.
so no its not common
It's fairly common yes, a lot of people running non-stock ROMs get this. I had this ~25 times on numerous Resurrection Remix ROMs, but since v1.9 I haven't had this issue fortunately. If it's causing you a big problem, try fixing permissions from CWM recovery, that seemed to make a big difference when I was having the problem.
SOD usually occurs when the kernel UV the CPU or GPU a little to much. Not every device is the same and not handle same kernels, UV values etc
Sent from my GT-P6810 using XDA Premium HD app
From the sound of it, it seems to be a software problem.
I got it on the i777 which wasn't running a custom rom. But I think it could be caused by that battery management app that I installed.
anyway, my main concern is that if there's anything wrong physically with the hardware. ( having the SoD caused by software problem is much easier to swallow as to it being caused by hardware problem, as I can just reflash the kernal, roms, factory reset, etc. )
and did removing the battery while in SoD mode damage the phone?
It's normally a firmware issue, or a conflict between an app & the firmware. You'd find it's pretty rare for an 'untouched' (I.E not modded) phone running stock firmware to have SOD's. And obviously if you're flashing custom firmware that's constantly evolving/changing, then sometimes you're going to get SOD's, tho with most well crafted firmware these are fairly rare.
I reckon I've probably had <10 in the 8 mths I've had my phone & I've been running non-stock firmware the whole time save for the week I got my phone, which is nothing when stacked up against all the mucking around I've with my phone.
Edit to add - One way you can test to see if SOD's you're having are possibly hardware related is to do a completely clean install of stock firmware & see if they still happen. If they don't, then it's obviously whatever firmware you were running. If they do, then it might be hardware-related. Re: your question about pulling the battery after a SOD, normally this shouldn't cause you any problems (it's sometimes the only way you can successfully reboot the phone).
The only known SOD issues on I9100 are the old 2.3.3 (don't remember which one) and the XWLP9 kernel.
Custom roms... well. No need to elaborate I guess.
Most of them have undervolted settings as default.

and did removing the battery while in SoD mode damage the phone?

Thank you for the answer.
Since it's kinda hard to recreate the SOD. I'll reflash the rom and kernal and do a wipe and see if the SOD still happen

Or just flash the newer build. No SOD there.

Victorator, forgive my ignorance, but are you saying i should just flash the latest build, XWLPD, onto my fone rather than re-rooting it using a different kernel (i.e. CF-Root-SGS2_DX_SIN_LP9-v5.4-CWM5.zip) in order to stop the SOD?
Never faced such issues ever.
Sleep of death
Hi all, the SLEEP OF DEATH on android phones has even become worse; somebody said this issue is resolved in ICS 4.0.3; thats not true. As of now; i have a galaxy S2 i900, 1 month and 2 weeks old, running ICS 4.0.4 and I have been experiencing this problem lately and took back my phone for repairs last week, got back the phone yesterday and this morning the sleep of death happened 3 times in 1 hour. I took the phone for repairs again later this evening and i made it clear to them that problem still hangs around and i told them that if it comes back with the same problem, they got to give me a new one because it happens on some devices only and im dead serious because SAMSUNG knows about this issue very well and they do nothing. NOW CHECK THIS OUT: the new SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 features this disease too; i was in the queue with two S3 clients reporting this problem. Android is really bad at times; im moving to APPLE
Will keep you Updated

Hi,
I'm also trying to solve this problem, since weeks.
My observations:
SOD happens most on higher battery status (e.g. more SOD's at 80% battery then at 20%
The Phone gets hot after SOD and also before the SOD comes.
While loading the Phone SOD's happen more often
The battery status drains rapidly while SOD (cause of the resulting heat)
My SOD's are independent of kernel, rom, firmware or what ever.
I think it's a hardware problem, but I've no warranty and what to solve the problem without changing the mainboard. It couldn't be a really defective of an important part, cause the phone works apart of this SOD-problem.
Maybe we could find out together howto solve these anoying sod's
Hey. Im trying to solve the SOD problem myself cause its been happening every day and its really annyoing since the phone isnt even a month old.
I got the newest cyanogen mod running.
The phones model is GT-i9100
Android is 4,2,1
I still have warranty on it, do you think I should go back to stock, go exchange my phone where I got it and see if the new one has SOD too or should I just try fixing it first.
Also apps I use constantly : go launcher and dragonvale
I have a 8 gb micro SD inside as well, dunno if that could cause this.
Anyone who updated your SGH-I777 to ICS facing heating issues while downloading stuff from market or using internet over WIFI/DATA?
My phone has horrible heating issues after the upgrade from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3. Its terrible. My phone on GB was smooth like butter and never faced any kind of heating or lagging issues. but this ICS upgrade is just one ****.....
Please help me by sharing your experience while on WIFI or DATA connection.....
Mine has been doing that for a few months now. Since I started using AOKP. Anytime I use my phone for a few minutes it starts to get warm, getting hotter the longer I use it. I was worried at first, but got used to it. Like the camera whirring noise, I just ignore it mostly.
I am planning on getting a warranty replacement anyway sometime before the warranty runs out, so I haven't worried about it.
It could be a rouge app running all the time. Better Battery Stats will let you see if any apps are preventing your phone from sleeping. CPU spy will also let you see if your phone is sleeping. A rogue app generally causes battery drain too. I see the same battery life on ICS as GB for the most part.

I don't think it has anything to do with the app running...... Its a very fresh installation and after the boot, I have tested downloading the say 5 apps from Playstore.The top portion of the device heats up big time. I am an android engineer and have rooted and applied custom roms on the devices but I am not willing to do that on this device becoz the Stock GB on SGH-I777 (2.3.6) is the best i have come across in terms of stability and efficiency. So just badly wanna go back to stock 2.3.6 but online I saw ppl facing problem when they downgraded to stock 2.3.4.....
I am still repenting on upgrading the device...uffff damn it
The only time I noticed anything like that was when I put my phone in the
mobile dock and using the GPS and it was a hot day plus it was charging.
Once I plugged into the regular house charger it cooled down
(even though it was still charging).
I guess they have overlocked the device and thats the reason y its heating up
I don't over clock my phone. I run AOKP with Fluxxi kernel, and don't touch the CPU speed, voltage, or governor settings. My phone didn't get hot like this on SHOstock, but pretty consistently on AOKP it heats up when ever I use it. I posted in another thread about heat issues that at the end of the day I had 13 hours up time, and less than 3% was at 800 MHz or above. The most common was deep sleep, 200, and 500.
I don't worry about the heat anymore, I got used to it. Most of the time its just warm, but if I get downloading a big file it gets really hot. It doesn't seem to affect the performance or battery life, so I don't worry.

AOKP and CM9 with Fluxi Kernel very heat when I played Nova 3.
Ever since the first ics leak came out its been on my phone and have had nothing but heat issues some to the point i worpped my sim card and back cover. Yes warrenty replaced it (the phone) not the back cover. So it is just something to deal with till jellybean is released. Hopefully they will have fixed it.

I had some problem on all the ics roms except shishir Rom. It's been good for 4 days so far. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Or stay on GB lol. I really didnt like how buggy ATT ICS seems to be with some apps like WordPress
I would love to go back to GB but scared use the ROMS that are available online.. I have done lot unlocking and rooting stuff on devices but i failed one time and thats what is holding from rooting/unlocking the device. Also I have realized that the custom ROMs are always buggy.....
Some people have had heating issues on ICS, and others not. Don't really know what the difference is. I suppose there could be some differences in the hardware.
Anyway, going back to gingerbread is relatively safe. You can go back to fully stock, or you can go back to stock plus root. Each of these options would be by flashing the firmware with Odin from a windows pc. Neither of these packages contain bootloaders, so the risk is minimal, almost non-existant. The packages are UCKH7, Gingerbread 2.3.4, although there is a UCKK6 plus root available also. You can use the guides linked in my signature, the one for returning your phone to the store for straight stock, and the one for flashing firmware without incrementing the flash counter for stock plus root.
Custom roms vary in stability. Some are extremely stable. I would say that SHOstock2 is as stable as about any rom I have ever used. It's certainly good enough for every day use. It is ICS though, and don't know how your phone would do with it. I have seen a few reports of overheating with it, although my phone rarely gets even warm to the touch.
Just wanted to echo 1) my phone also gets hot when being used heavily (wifi, bt, gps, data, sync, all on) but not to the point of concern. And 2) the reco of shostock2 3.1.0+ for stability.

One of the most stable, smooth GB roms is UnNamed 2.2.1, which you can check out HERE. I used it for a good while, but wanted to try ICS. Excellent, stable rom, with themes available.
...its called fried ice cream.

I did try your odin but unfortunately it didn't recognize my device at all. So I juts gave up on using your odin. I am not sure why odin is not detecting my phone. I am using SGH-I777 AT&T with ICS 4.0.3. Any idea whats the problem. Please note that I have not rooted this device and its always been on stock firmware/software.....
i m on AOKP rom with my i777, it does heat up a little bit (lcd top part and back near camera) when i m using 3g, wifi is ok..i wonder if the antenna is around there so its causing heat?

You got it right. Thats exactly where I feel the heat on my device..... Trust me, I didn't feel any heating effect whatsoever when my device was on GB. So I m pretty sure that the hardware is all good and its the firmware/software thats screwing up the device.
Personally I found my phone got hot after setting up an exchange account on it. I also got massively reduced battery performance. Once I removed the exchange account operation returned to normal.
One or more of the apps (from the old GB install) that is running in the background causing it to heat up, I was ruuning into that issue when I first updated to ICS. I end up doing the factory wipe and reload every apps back on. Now I don't have that problem.
