Battery drain problem

Hey all,
On a couple occasions now, my Diamond (Telus CDMA) has refused to wake up from standby. After a soft reboot (by pressing the little button under the back cover) I can see that the battery has drained very quickly. The phone is also noticeably warmer than usual. Seems like it's getting stuck in some sort of processing loop and burning battery while it's at it.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks,
-Michael

the same thing has happened to me twice! phone was fully charged last night, woke up this morning and battery had drained completely and turned itself off.
any ideas?

Did you have bluetooth on and visible?

Not at the time.
I've since purchased some bluetooth headphones and now have BT enabled, but I've not had this problem in a while.

i had that happen to me once too, never again tho.

I have a setting, which I do not know the purpose of, but I unchecked it.
Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items -> Time-Out of Today
(I have a dutch TD, so the translation may be not exactly correct).
Could it be that the TD is automatically reset by this setting?
Maybe it is also because ActiveSync became active and is draining the battery?
This is a tip from someone else:
DISABLE ACTIVESYNC NOTIFICATION
===============================
When I start up the Touch, ActiveSync is running. I stop it, but sooner or later it will show up in the Tasks running again.
I did the ActiveSync Fake server Trick(Fake IP, Set schedules to Manual, etc..), but that didn't help.
Here is the Fix:
In the windows/activesync directory there is a file called “CtrlLog” file, in the file I noticed that at certain times it would say “KeepAwake” so I knew there had to be something trying to keep ActiveSync running.
I download an app called “Task Manager by FdcSoft”, cool little app for Free, it showed me all the processes running in the background. The one that caught my eye is a process called “repllog.exe”, because it had an ActiveSync icon next to it.
So just messing around with “Task Manager” I went to “Notifications” and noticed there were three “repllog.exe” in the notifications list towards the bottom. After disabling and enabling “repllog.exe” one by one, I believe the one that is causing ActiveSync to keep restarting itself is the “repllog.exe” that has an Argument named AppRunAfterTimeChange(must scroll to the right to see it). So I disabled that particular “repllog.exe” and did a Soft Reset.
I no longer see ActiveSync in the Task Manager list unless I connect to the PC using a USB cable.

You could try asynckiller, this little cab does the same thing...

I used also asynckiller, but that did not work for me.
Still Async came sometimes active and asynckiller did not stop this one.
No I do not use asynckiller anymore, but disabled the one mentioned in my previous post and the problems have not appeared again.

[Q] Turn off data and keep MMS?

How can I do that?

You mean on your plan? or on your phone?

On my phone. Right now, I have a gophone sim in it, and I don't want it connecting to the internet as it keeps using up money everytime it does.

I think APNdroid has that option. The only problem is it won't always cut off data unless you go toggle airplane mode or reboot.

You need data to receive pictures.
Question is irrelevant.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Well then bassahaulic, how can I make it to where data turns on ONLY for MMS?

I would like an answer for this as well. I don't want my data on all the time - it drains my battery. However, if someone sends me an MMS text while my data is off, I don't even get a notification. I don't even get the text once I turn data back on. I don't find that acceptable either.
Is there a workaround so that your data doesn't have to be on 100% of the time just on the possibility of receiving a MMS text?
Also - the same applies to when I'm on WIFI. I tested it out by having my wife send me one. On WIFI the phone screen turned on when the MMS text was sent (and I assume when I would've received it), but no notification. On 3G - I received the MMS Text.
I am currently using Handsent as well

here you go its called toggle data

install it, run it and reboot

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try and did what you suggested (ran it with data off and then rebooted) but once I turned data back on, it wouldn't go back off using the toggle . Man, that would've been awesome if it had worked.
Any other suggestions?

I found that "APN OnOff" by Curvefish works perfectly for what I was looking for - can turn data off and still get MMS texts. Now to actually download the picture I need to turn data back on, but at least I know it's there, and that makes all the difference.
Only draw back to it is that you have to go into flight mode for the switched settings to take affect. I'm okay with that little nuisance though. Much better than rebooting the phone.
Thanks for the suggestions. This is a great forum.

Why can't we just go into plane mode and keep WIFI on? AM I missing something? (Maybe I just asked a super dumb question)

In plane mode you can't receive calls or texts.

If you dont want to shut off phone all the time you can install this
Here's an app that will launch some of the codes(phone, service menu, gps etc) that you can use... like the 1st option with phone/battery/usage info that u can hit and just shut off the radio then turn it right back on..its a pain in the ass put hey it works..lol

APN changes can take effect if you toggle the airplane mode... ie:
hold the power button
turn it on (radio off)
hold the power button
turn it off (radio on)
Worked for me when I used to use APNdroid anyway.

Well I tried using APNOnOff. Thought it was working (using plane mode) but if I left data off for an extended amount of time I would need to restart the phone to get it going again.
If I used that code program, does it turn off all data or are you saying flipping that switch would make these APN toggles work without rebooting?
Why did you stop using APNdroid?

If you use that code thing you can turn on & off the radio so you dont need 2 reboot every time, thats what i did b4 i went 2 I9000XFJM6 Rom.
I dont use APNdroid because I had read different people giving issues with messing up there data, so I just have been using the toggle data.

Ok cool. Now at least I have a backup plan. My battery lasts SO MUCH LONGER with data "off". I went back to Toggle Data to give it a try with plane mode toggling. So far it's working great.

[Q] SIM recently removed, verify identity

Out of nowhere when i rebooted my phone i got a messege on my phone saying "The SIM card was recently removed, sign into your account to verify identiy" I try loging in but it says its wrong. I cant do anything with the phone when its like this. I found a work around with a custom lockscreen if i turn on airplane mode as soon as it turns on. but its extremly annyoying not being able to use the home button!!! So if anyone has a fix please tell me D:. Im rooted and safestraped on a deoxed version of the stock rom (well i think it is) I just got the phone last night, i started having thease issues later this morning though.

Its a known issue with the RAZR and the Droid 4, the only solution is to hard reset the device.

If anyone is curious I actually found a temp fix for this!! What you do is you restart your phone, as soon as it turns on, quickly turn airplane mode on. Your phone works perfectly now...its just useless. SO TO FIX THAT. You must then go to wireless settings and turn on wifi. Our main goal is to remove your email from accounts, in my case, it was my verizon yahoo email. I think its whatever email shows up for you to verify. If you try removing it over wifi though it will have a server error.
So since you can at least go in the market now (or google play now or whatever lol) you should download an app called LockMenu (free version) that will replace your lockscreen and it has a slider to go directly to your home launcher, once that works fine you can turn airplane mode off. (Your home button and notification bar dont work right now btw) In any case now that your phones data is on again you can now just go to accounts and remove the cursed email.
Now just reboot, and you shouldn't have the error!

Hallelujah
I signed up for an account just to say Thank You to Artic.Light!! I was customizing my phone and while setting up my gmail account activity feed my phone froze up. Upon reboot I received the "SIM card removed" message and was completely f-ing devastated. My GF is 9 months preggers and was out and about in heavy rain so communication was critical. I was freaking out and scrambling for like a half hour looking online for someone who cracked the code. After finally finding and following Artic.Light's instructions my phone is back up and running fine and I could not be happier!! Mega Huge Thanx!!!!

FIX
I found a fix for this. Do what the guy said and put the phone in airplane mode. Reboot the phone and turn it back on. Airplane mode should still be on when the phone comes back on. Simply go to the dial pad. call someone, it will give you a message about airplane mode being turned off, just ignore it and complete the phone call. Stay connected in the phone call for about 2 minutes to allow the sim card to refresh. and thats it.

Nick, did your solution continue to work after fixing it and then powering off? Unfortunately, it did not for me. I'd been using the power off in airplane mode method, then after powering on, make a call. I typically just call me voice mail and hang up after a few seconds. Your suggestion gave me hope but after leaving the call open (with my work phone) for several minutes (and trying it a couple times, it reverted back to the same issue.
Does anyone know why they don't just fix the bug?

Wi-Fi stuck on turning on

Hi guys!
I am having issues with the WLAN on my HTC One m7..
It's stuck on turning on.
Can't turn it off, can't turn it on.. Can't bypass it by using airplane mode or anything like that. I am running a custom rom called soul by xiaoxiang, it's a Chinese rom that I can barely understand since I'm Dutch..
The rom ofcourse has built-in kernel mods.
I used TWRP -> Advanced -> File Manager -> data/misc/wifi to delete the wpa_supplicant.conf and files like that, have tried deleting some other files, nothing seems to fix it.. It's just stuck on the part where it's 'loading', in the quickmenu it looks like it's just turning on, except for the fact it's stuck.. When I tap the 3 dots below WLAN in the quickmenu, it says it's off in the top, and I can go to the 3 dots and only tap Advanced, the others are just greyed out..
When I go to the Settings menu, it says Airplane-mode Off, Wi-Fi Error, Bluetooth Off, etc. So it doesn't say it's either on or off, it just says Error. I can tap the 'switch' of the Wi-Fi on the right in the Settings menu, but it will just become greyed out when I tap it..
Any help? I'm trying to avoid a factory reset because when it still won't work then I will have lost all my apps and data and need to use mobile data to download it again which will cost me a lot of money..
Can't send it back, warranty overdue.
Related topics without fix (I've searched for a long time before deciding to post it here, there are some people especially with rooted/custom rom htc one m7's who have a similar problem but there is no fix):

Question Since I upgraded to android 12 I'm not getting notifications when the screen is off

I got the android 12 update a few days ago and after a few day I noticed that unless I turn on the screen I don't get most push notifications, as soon as I turn it on I get them all at once.
This is disastrous, what is causing this? How do I fix it?

Are you using mobile data or WiFi because sometimes the mobile data will not work if the screen is off and try to reset your phone settings.

I'm almost always on wifi, I'm going to attempt a reset of the phone settings but I'm doubtful

After a few hours I can confirm that resetting the phone settings did the trick, I have absolutely no idea why that would be the case but there we go

Yeah, sometimes the settings would corrupt the entire phone's system because the phone cannot handle the customized setting we did so resetting it would help the device.
