I've seen threads with this issue or that issue, but no single thread yet dedicated to issues that have cropped up for HTC Vivid users since the ICS OTA update.
I run stock-- No root, no custom rom, just stock the way it came from AT&T.
The phone has been wonderful. Battery standby time was phenomenal (on a full charge, I could expect to take my phone to work around 6:30 am, and see a minimum 60% to 75% left when I got home around 5:30 pm). I never experienced random reboots, crashes, etc.
Then I updated OTA to the new ICS using standard AT&T procedure-- This would be the official release, downloaded and installed last week.
Now, if I reboot the phone, I have to wait while it installs updates it already had when I installed ICS. This is a minor incovenience, but annoying.
I also see noticeably less standby time. I'm lucky now to have 50% left when I get home from work.
Most alarming, though, is the nightly crash on the charger. My dad is in and out of the hospital with heart issues, so turning off my phone to charge it isn't really an option. Every night since I updated, my phone random reboots on the charger (last night it did it twice).
So now I'm seriously wondering:
(1) Is anyone else having these new issues since updating to the official ICS release?
(2) Is there some way I can "downgrade" to the more stable version my phone had before (the extra features and tweaks aren't worth the tradeoff for stability and standby time)?
Thanks to any and all who take the time to consider this post and reply accordingly.
Why not try downloading the official RUU since you are still locked,
http://www.htc.com/us/support/vivid-att/downloads/ and install it
sounds like something scewed up when you uploded the OTA update via phone.
A little more detail...
I think it's important to note that these random reboots I've been getting since upgrading to ICS are only partially random.
They only happen when the phone is on the charger and "on." I recall a "charge death" issue with my old Samsung Captivate that perhaps I'm experiencing now with the upgraded HTC Vivid?
I know the obvious workaround is to charge it before going to bed, take it off the charger, then top it off the following morning. Perhaps I'll try that before doing the upgrade over again using the RUU. It's perplexing due to when it happens-- I know the phone doesn't require a full 3.5 hours to charge from, say, 35%, so it's some sort of charger keep-alive that must be forcing the reboot.
I'm still curious, though, to learn if anyone else is having these exact same issues after upgrade.
Thanks, Pumpiron579, for your suggestion! I've just downloaded the RUU and have it ready when I decide to try the update again.
I've upgraded to the latest ICS from AT&T and am not experiencing any of the reboot issues that you're speaking of. I put my Vivid on a charging dock and it goes into doc mode and is that way when I wake up in the morning. I even have it trip an alarm at 7AM. If it's rebooting overnight, I'm not aware of it. In GB there was a screen that told you the up time and sleep time. I can't find it on ICS otherwise I could confirm whether or not it is rebooting overnight.
As for battery life, it doesn't appear to be any worse than GB for me and for today, It's been on the battery over 1.5 hrs and still at 100% battery.

Select the Up time counter for more details
Thanks for that, homeslice, but I don't see overall up time. With GB, there was some counter that could show the hundreds of hours that it has been up since the last reboot.

I've never paid too much attention to this...but when you go in and click on the battery time underneath the battery level, there's another uptime below the graph that i figured was total uptime?
I updated with the RUU and have had no problems with my phone what so ever, I have had no reboots when chargeing and the battery life is about the same for my phone.Also my phone is stock with bootloader locked.
My battery life seems to be about the same. However, I am getting a better LTE signal - 3 bars vs 1-2 bars before the upgrade.
The one thing that I've found to be an irritation is that before the upgrade, any photos attached to emails were automatically saved in a folder accessible by the Gallery. After the upgrade, they are saved in the Downloads; and that folder is not accessible from the Gallery. I have to use a file manager program like Astro to manually move the photo file to one of the Gallery accessible folders.
If there's a way to fix this, I would be all ears.
Battery life sucks after ICS upgrade
after I upgraded to ICS my batter life sucks, it used to come for a day, now its reaching 15% before evening.
Is this a known issue, is there a way to get a better battery life
Thanks
everything is fine fore me except the android is upgrading part every power on.
is that a problem?

As far as I can tell you get the android is upgrading/optimizing every time dalvik cache is cleared..which from what I can tell happens on every reboot with a Rom that's not deodexed..like the stock Roms. Get on a Rom that's been deodexed and this won't happen. Otherwise enjoy the feature lol

fix battery issues
Sorry to hear about the random reboots, and I hope a solution comes around. I personally have found no reboot issues at all. There is a problem with using Bluetooth hands free though, you can't press the call button on the device to make a voice call because Android removed the voice dialer so now you just hear a beep.
In regards to your battery, install Advanced Task Killer from the market. In the settings, set up the recommended kill list, the aggressiveness, and activate auto kill. I've been using it for a while and i can go all day with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Pandora, and other apps. After 10+ hours at work i get home with 35-40% battery still. Hope this helps. It also has a widget you can out on a homescreen so you can simply click and it kills what you set up already.
I used to have some random reboots in GB, turned to be an app or a widget that caused the problem. I did then a wipe amd installed minimal apps that I needed and didn't have the problem anymore. Then I started to install other apps one by one monitoring which one might be the problem, but I couldn't replicate it nomore. It was in the same time I experienced multiple (if not all of them) launchers and widgets so I don't even remember what I really had on it. This also might be for battery life too. Now I only use sense and the stock widgets and adw ex once in a while, I have >180 apps installed and no reboots and also battery life is very good.

Twice while streaming pandora over bluetooth I've had the phone just die. My music shuts off, screen is off, phones not responding, have to pull the battery. Also I've had issues with music skipping on bluetooth. Also third party apps won't show contact pictures that rely on Facebook. Worked fine before the
Update. Im considering wiping it and reinstalling everything.

Total newbie...delete if necessary
Downloaded the update last night and haven't sleep trying to fix this (OCD )...
I cannot see any updates on FriendStream event though I have my FB account linked to it.
I removed my FB account from "Accounts & Sync" synced it again received a notification "Allow HTC sense to access your FB account" and before Im able to click it the program keeps running and adds my FB account. Go to FriendStream and nothings there...
Found my issue
I have uninstalled few apps, seems to be that drained my batteries all day, now it looks better

I am having the same issue. I am working with HTC on this issue. I have no idea what is causing this. You will find that it does it more frequently, not only when it is charging.

So are we able to go back to the Original Stock/Shipped Rom if we don't like this update?
I saw some things I liked about it in the recent reviews, but others that I didn't.
I have an international S3 LTE i9305 (unrooted) and took the OTE update to 4.3 a few weeks ago, after much deliberation about whether to risk it. In the end it was more finger trouble than decision, I hit the wrong button when I meant to postpone it again!
It hasn't been too bad since the update but there are a few issues. I have googled it of course but much of the information relates to the i9300 not the i9305, and to the earlier versions of the update. I only got the notification of an update in Jan 2014 so I guess its a later build and maybe some of the original bugs have been fixed (or replaced with different bugs!).
Issues I have noticed:
Audio playback skips quite frequently regardless of which player I use or whether the file in on the internal or external SD card
Battery consumption is worse. After a day of light usgage I could previosuly still have 50-60% battery, now its regularly down to 30% or less.
Wireless charging behaviour is odd. If the phone is still powered on its works as normal (phone displays wireless charging message, screen goes off and charging light is on). If the phone is off it used to display a wireless symbol something like a battery with circles around it, then the battery with the remaining charge level in green, then the screen goes off and the red charging light comes on until its charged then the light goes green. Since the update it doesn't display the wireless symbol any more, it just displays the battery symbol but its all grey like its at 0%. Eventually the screen dims then turns off but the charging light doesn't come on. It does seem to charge normally like it did before though.
I am using an HTC USB power supply with the wireless charger. When I used the Samsung one sometimes it appeared to be charging but after being left overnight the battery level had barely increased. It sometimes does the same thing with the Samsung charger plugged in ie not wireless.
I have 3 (dumb) questions. I apologise for my lack of knowledge!
Is a factory reset likely to fix any of these, or alternatively make anyting worse?!
I have the options checked to backup settings to google and automatically restore. If I do a factory reset, what happens? I think I did it once and it downloaded all my apps from the Play store automatically but how much of the settings will be restored? I also have MyBackup Pro which should be able to restore a lot of stuff but not the app settings. I have a lot of stuff installed so I don't want to go through the pain of setting it all up again if its not going to fix the problems anyway.
I have included all the versions numbers below from my system info, can anyone tell me what they mean?
On the plus side, since the update my phone remembers Swype it the default keyboard and I don't have to select it every time I turn the phone on.
Small update - I enabled the CPU usage overlay in Developer Options this morning to see if it would tell me anything, then disabled it again because I couldn't even read it. Since then the audio playback seems to have been OK, but its only been a couple of hours.

Are any of the app settings backed up to my google account? If not is there any way to back them up so I don't have to configure everything again, without being rooted?

Your Google account does not back up a lot of things - settings for downloaded apps and among other things SMS texts. I use the free app Mobile Backup & Restore from Trend Micro.

I opened a similar topic few weeks ago, did a full reset, mainly for problems regarding the battery, haven't noticed significant changes, my only solution was changing the battery with the original extended, 3000 mah, now I can reach evening without problems... But with the regular 2100 with heavy use I wasn't anymore able to get past 6 pm.

Well. That depends on individual usage. It could be helpful to know screen on time, network connection, used apps/sync.
Always after update it's suggested to perform factory reset. About backup... Well. Tons of apps work better after clean install on newer version of OS. Ofc I'm not taking about small updated related to bug fixes/optimalisation but upgrading from 4.1 to 4.3 for example. It cost less effort than searching which app cause the problem and usability of Rom in our android devices.

I'm on 13.0.1.0 (India) experiencing extremely slow charging, constantly dropping VoWiFi and missing the option for dark mode in some apps. Overall experience feels a bit laggy too. Is this just me or everyone is facing this? I've factory reset but it's no use.

So I have to endure this until it (hopefully) gets fixed in next update or is there any solution?
Go back to 12.5.9 . Maybe you have to format data (lost of all your settings). Search for "downgrade" ....
Update: Apparently the Slow charging issue goes away after one full charge-discharge cycle. It's charging as fast as before if not faster.
The charging logic which decides how fast the battery can be charged needs accurate information about the battery state. After an update a calibration seems to be necessary which is done by a full cycle (complete discharge, then fully charge). Before a calibration the battery stats may be inaccurate.
The fastest part of charging is being done in the area 10-50%. If it does not know in which area it is, it seems it assumes that it is in the 90-100% area where only slow charging is possible, or just says "don't know anything" and only charges slow for safety reasons. That makes sense.
After OTA update on my note 10 pro max, I got shocked after finding out those bugs on this update :O Though Magisk root was gone, I had to flash it again :/ but the system gets stucked after a boot. While magisk root was installed, it happened every time. Can anyone suggest me any good options? I've done hiding the magisk app, but it didn't worked.
Hello!
Is fast charging not working at all on custom 12.1 ROMs?
After trying a few ROMs based on Android 12.1 I noticed all of them are slow charging the phone. :/ I was a good boy and formatted data, wiped partitions and installed the latest firmware between them all but that didn't change anything.
Hello, I am currently with the Rom Evo, look, it is curious, the fast charge is present, but until reaching (so to speak) about 60% of battery, after that the charge changes to slow and it takes much longer in end up. I don't know why, it's like a half fast charge In addition to that I am noticing something strange, the phone turns off before reaching 0 battery, with android 10 that never happened to me, but with 12 yes It turns out that I bought a new battery and the same thing happens so I think it's the roms

It's definitely the ROMs since now I am back on MIUI 12.5 with unlocked bootloader, orange fox recovery, magisk manager and the charging is working properly again without any fuss on the original cables and chargers.
I guess that the 12.1 need some more time to mature.

Well, at least it's a software problem and not a hardware problem, one question, did the same thing happen to you? that is, did your phone turn off before reaching 0? android 12.1 is beautiful once you get used to it, it would be strange for me to go back to 11 or 10, but if necessary I will

I switched back to MIUI at about 25% battery when I got bored of the slow charging.
Hello
Yesterday i had the phone around 65% at 01h00, in the next morning (around 7h20) i wake up to find the phone at 1%, no wifi/4G/bluetooth/GPS...etc was active, even the battery saver was ON. As you can see in the screenshots, android system drain battery around 400% !!! what's up with this behavior ? happened the 1st time last week (49% drained in 8 hours) the problem seems gone after i fully charge and than reboot, but still today happened.
The phone is almost 1 month old.
The 1st few days, i disconnected the phone from charging at 100% and went to sleep, after 6 hours battery is drained by 6% without doing nothing. is this normal ??? screenshot
ROM : crDroid 8, latest magisk installed+microg+magiskhide props config and fdroid/aurora modules installed.

well, that must a bug related to optimiztion of the rom, report it to the rom mantainer
Exactly what happened to me same ROM same phone but I didn't root it. it drained from 54% to 6% during the night, next day I switched the ambient display off and the battery became better but so far I am also looking for solutions to make it similar to miui
I feel the battery is draining so much fast when I start using the apps unlike miui but the room is also great and fast , with my light use it gave me 1 day of use and remaining of 10% with 120 fps (3.3%/hr screen on and 0.6%/h screen off )
today I will test it with 60fps

Wow, 3.3%/hr is seriously impressive for active drain, especially for 120hz. Can I ask you if you did anything special / your exact setup? I installed Ricedroid 8.0 + Sleepy kernel and applied the GMS Doze module + Naptime (as suggested by a kind poster on here), and this allowed my idle drain to go down to 0.2%/hr, but my active drain is still struggling a bit.

Ohh the 3.3%/hr is combined use, which takes account of both active drain and idle drain (through what I guess is some weighted average). But honestly, 6.7%/hr (or even 7.8%/hr tbh) is still pretty damn impressive, so I'll thank you for letting me know! Now I wanna flash crDroid haha.

I spent 1 day and half trying all custom roms in this forum because for long time I was on miui and didn't know how custom ROMs are now , after trying I found that all custom ROMs either are pixel flavored or very basic without any customization and I settled with Cr-droid because it offers best of both worlds less google and good customization options.
now regarding the battery after few days of using on 60 fps I have combined use 2.4%/hr and 0.8% screen off but I still feel that it drains fast during my usage compared to Miui , I have only used naptime for optimization do you advise me to add anything else for non-rooted device ?

MIUI very often switches off alarm (not clock alarm) and wakeups -- it's known for long. Your notifications often comes late when using MIUI. In real life situation, however you might never notice it, but it's there. It also sets higher priorities to known messaging, social media apps to receive notification/action faster than any apps that are outside "the list".
It's a good trade off for battery life compares to stock AOSP or lineage which put every apps on generic list of "optimized battery" based on your pattern. It will took a long before the pattern is useable.

I'm not sure about your possibilities on a non-rooted device honestly. I think Naptime can work on a non-rooted device, if you grant a few permissions through ADB first (if I remember correctly, the app itself will guide you through the process). Be mindful of which apps you're restricting though, as Naptime will likely cause delays in the arrival of notifications. You can whitelist apps through Android's battery restriction screen.

I think Naptime can work on a non-rooted device, if you grant a few permissions through ADB first (if I remember correctly, the app itself will guide you through the process). Be mindful of which apps you're restricting though, as Naptime will likely cause delays in the arrival of notifications. You can whitelist apps through Android's battery restriction screen.

Hmm I don't have any further tips honestly, not about these specific things. In my case, using Naptime already improves battery life by a ton over the course of a day (not wasting entire %s in hours of idle time is already huge).
Try and see if greenify or its replacements helps.
