OK, so trying my very best to be a good noob, I spent the last two days scouring threads and posts to see if anyone had my problem before. No dice, so here I go. If I have this in the wrong section.... Shoot me. just flashed to a new rom. ICS from team blackout. Love it a ton. Seriously had to tweak the processor a bit, but it runs smoothly now. The problem? The battery stats are insane no matter what I do. My extended life battery is toast, I accept that, so I switched back to the stock battery which is now lasting longer than the ext did. But here's the problem. Run phone down to any power level. 15% or 1% doesn't matter if you kill it. Plug it in to charge. Charge till it gets round about 34% and unplug. All of a sudden, I have anywhere from 80% to 99% battery life. But it runs through that in almost no time. Then it will get down to about 28% and spike to 43% without ever seeing a charger! What gives? I would like some dependable stats. Please, let me know what kind of info you might need to get me going. I'm running an HTC Inspire 4G with the latest release of team blackouts ics rom.

Where would I look for that info? Are you talking about the clockwork recovery? I have whatever version is the latest for Advanced Ace Hack Kit.... which is currently on my Linux partition. I believe the last update for the root program was in November 2012. But at any rate, I'll take any pointers on looking for the info and updating it if necessary.

First, give 4ext recovery a shot (at least, I've personally had issues with CWM recently). Get the free app from their website. If you like it buy the app from the Play Store. It will install the most up-to-date 4ext recovery.
Second, redownload the ROM (just to make sure the download is valid) and reflash it from the updated 4ext.
Third, sometimes batteries just get old; if the problem persists try buying a new one. They're not too expensive.
Ok, I'll give this all a shot and get back to you. One question though: the rom is from Team Blackout's link, so when you say valid, what does that mean? And should I do a full wipe of my phone? Also, I seem to be getting a full day out of my stock battery suddenly. (Which wasn't happening with the stock rom) The only quirk is that jump in % when I unplug it before it charges. It discharged like a normal battery today, though. At any rate, I'll go get that stuff you mentioned.

There's several ways you can make sure that the file didn't get corrupted during the download. Re downloading, md5, and opening the zip and seeing if there are folders. You could use any of those.
Please post in the correct section

Ah I see. Thanks for moving me where I need to be. As for the stats, had a very busy week and never has the chance to do any of the checks you recommend. But in the last couple days it's seems the problem fixed itself. Getting more life out of my battery and the stats don't Spike anymore if I have to unplug the phone before it's finished charging. So all in all I'm a happy camper again. Still need to buy a bigger battery to get some serious life, but I can make it with 12 hours. Good to know what steps to take if I run into any other problems, though.

You could buy the powerskin for the inspire. I think they are still blowing them out for $0.01.(yes one penny, not a typo) I use one and it is great. It's a case with a battery built in. The case battery has more juice than what can fit into phone so it lasts all day with heavy use no problem. You just push a button when your phone is almost dead and it charges it back to full with energy left over.

Just talked to a friend from vzw, he told me that if something happened he will hook me up with a replacement for my tbolt.
I've been using gb radio since the 1st day it was leaked, i have no problems on my phone, just some random FCs but that's given.
Since we don't have a solid demographics on how many people got bricked, Im going to take the risk and see if i get bricked.
This morning i just got into a bootloop but looks like its just the battery giving false stats. Its been more than 6 hours now in my external charger and i assume battery doesn't hold charge anymore, Im going tommorow to vzw to have it replaced.
Question is, will logcat be enough to monitor my phone in case i got bricked so i can pull some important data regarding how it happen?, that way we can find a clue on how to fix a radio-bricked tbolt.

Lol you obviously didn't read his post. No risk involved.
I hope someone could shed a light to my questions.
1st. How does the radio firmware work on our phone? Does it work like a driver where it acts a mediator between the roms(software) to the phone's hardware.
2nd. What are the possible trigger to recreate the bootloop of death? There are some cases that my phone overheats because of non responsive apps and ever since i flashed on GB rom there i times i can feel my phone hot, which could be the case from some of the boot loop victim that they fried something inside their phone.
3rd. What are the chances that same bootloop of death could also occur in froyo radio? Just because vzw officially released the radio doesn't mean it has same risk like the leaked GB radio. It is like how HTC manufactured the phone, they tested most of it but some are still lemons.
Everything is in theory right now, there are no fix because it happens in random and the reason is still unknown. I'd choose to participate for the fix instead of waiting for someone to figure out the fix. We all do take a bold step in rooting our phone, flashing different roms, putting our faith on the battery that it wouldn't fail during the flashing process. Once we modified our phone from its stock settings we acknowledge the risk, and that risk is the one of the few factors the fuels the development of the rom/kernel community.
I've noticed several repacks of the GB radio:

I just called verizon 611. My phone is not bricked and still functioning properly, but i told the operator that my phone constantly reboots( I pretended that my phone was bricked), i was passed to higher level tier support and they said they will be sending a new phone to me and there will be an extra envelop where i need to put my old phone to return to them. The call only took me 10-15 minutes and I believe VZW is aware that Tbolt has this issue even if its GB or the stock froyo rom.
i reverted back last night but i will def be back once things are more stable.. i already miss it
After booting with the *fixed* charging issue, I opened up ROM Manager and was prompted to update to the latest version. 5.0.0.10 I believe.

I've had the newest version from Rom Manager for awhile now, and it works fine. Charges while off and everything. We've already got discussions on the new CWR in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242522 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242942
No problems here either
I updated to v5.0.1.0 and got no problems with it. I got 3 battieries so no worries! You wont brick your phone either if you run out of juice, theres a micky mouse way to "jump starting" your dead battery posted above. You guys should really invest $15 for an external charger and anker battery from ebay. The investment is so little for piece of mind.

I have always been afraid of upgrading after the last fiasco. I remember the problem occurred when you uncheck fastboot. But when fastboot was unchecked the phone would not charge. Knowing that fastboot is default on many ROMs, are you guys sure the issue has been resolved in the update? Did you try checking to see charging was happening when you actually uncheck the fastboot?

Well it works when when fastboot is checked. Meaning the phone actually is not off. But does the update allow charging when you uncheck fastboot?

+1 I updated to 5.0.1 as well and have no charging issue.
Am I the only one who's got worse battery life since the update?
I keep my brightness set low, bluetooth and GPS are off. My mail and Twitter are set to update manually. Weather updates every four hours, and I use only a few widgets (the weather clock and a few that toggle settings). I've got a solid LTE signal.
Before the update (and even after the 2.11.605.3 Gingerbread update that I'd got before Verizon and HTC pulled it), I could take my phone off the charger when I woke up, use it moderately, and still be in the green when I'd put it back on the charger at bed time. If I used it a bit more, maybe I'd be in the yellow, but I'd never had a problem going 18 hours or so on a single full charge.
Since the update, though, my phone can't get through a day without recharging in the middle. Even if I don't use it. Just sitting on my desk, untouched, I'm losing about 11% an hour.
Chances are the phone will re adjust through battery cycles. Also there are power saving options now if you go to the power setting. The efficiency setting works very well. Other than that I would wait a little longer before going about any tinkering.
And one more thing. You don't have a task manager do you? If so get rid of it. Android is incredibly efficient on managing its ram and tasks.

LTE? You're running 4G all the time? I wouldn't make it past late afternoon if I didn't toggle the LTE off most of the time and use CMDA (3G).
I'm stock and also having horrible battery life since the last update. Like 5 hours worth of battery with little use before I'm in the yellow. I'm giving up on 4G and switching over to 3G for good... maybe that will last longer as it did in the past
I'm tempted to do a factory reset

If my assumption is wrong on your knowledge of factory resets, i apologize and i'm not trying to insult your knowledge of these phones. That being said, factory reset won't allow you to revert to pre 605.5 software, as it just wipes the data completely and you stay on the same 605.5 you are on. If you are rooted already, make a backup and flash back an older release of the software that you are happy with. If you aren't rooted, now is a good time and then to revert back to past software haha
Hmm..sounds like someone should get an extended battery.I have one and never had a problem before or after gb.

Insult not taken... I'm well aware of what a factory reset is. And I don't care to root - been rooted before. Battery was much better before... so I figure its probably an app causing the drain - not playing nice with the update. A reset could remedy that.

I'm with mdeblaz. Getting through the day on the stock battery hasn't been an issue until the update. And I'll buy a new phone before I buy a ginormous battery for this one. I've had a couple of HTC phones now, and the Thunderbolt has been the most problematic for me. Maybe I'll sell it back to Verizon and get the Rezound. If the battery issue doesn't clear up on it's own, it's either going to be new phone or (for the first time since I started using Android phones) flashing a new ROM.
Anyone know a good Gingerbread ROM for the Thunderbolt that has Sense 3? I know I'm a minority, but I keep buying HTC phones because I actually like Sense.

Why is that all the ICS builds that I have tried burn through the battery VERY fast? Am I installing them right? I follow the directions to the letter.
have u let the roms settle? by this i mean going through at least 3 charge cycles without a reboot, before judging battery life? if u haven't done this then u can't really judge until u do
So theres a settling in period? I didnt know that.
yup, 3 full charge cyclss is the generally accepted rule. If u just flash and use, i guarantee ur gettin crap life. The rom needs to configure battery based an ur usage basically

So by 3 cycles is charge to 100% then drain to 0?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
yessir, that is correct
I had a problem installing SKY-ICS where when I clicked camera or gallery it would say "Media Scanner Running" and then close. This sucked because I couldn't use the camera and it would leave a service open Media Storage. That service would drain all my battery and heat up the phone until I did a force stop. I don't really believe you would need to do 3 full cycles, just check your battery usage under settings and see what is eating the most battery.
I had the same media scanner issue. Tried 4 different ICS Roms over a week with similar results. I was burning about 25% / hour, so I had plenty of opportunity to run through full cycles. Couldn't get MS to shut off. Finally bailed and went back to stock unrooted today. MS hasn't been over 2% since. I really like ICS, but like my battery more.

I tried. I slowly added apps back one by one, and never restored data. Formatted ext. SD, moved files from internal, etc. Thought I had it fixed once after changing email from push to an interval. Media server immediately stopped running, but started again a few minutes later.
I think I've devoted 2-1/2 days of the last 7 to wiping, flashing, and restoring. Finally had to cry uncle before I get fired. I'm sure someone here can make it work, but it's got me beaten. I'd feel a lot better if I at least knew what was making media scanner run.

sounds like u didn't fully wipe emmc, just move files from it. Since u tried everything else, humour me. Backup both onto computer then thoroughy format emmc and external sd in cwm.

Okay I've recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G for about 2 weeks now & I am currently having some problems with my phone. I'm not sure if its my phone or the ROMs that I am flashing. The problem that I am having is that when I'm using my phone that has a full battery my phone just shuts off completely. I turn it back in on the battery is almost dying so I charge the phone. When its done charging I unplug it & continue to use my phone, but for some reason it keeps turning off on me. I can't use my phone at all because of this the only way I can use my phone is if its plugged in to charge. I thought maybe it was the ROM that I am using which was Valhalla FINAL so I flashed it again & I get the same result. So, I decided to download a different ROM which was HebrewValhalla3.5_AROMA & guess what I get the same result. I really want to use my phone, but I can't so if someone can please help I would really appreciate it very much!
So what do you think could be the problem is it the ROMs that I am flashing or what? Please give me some tips & what ROMs do you recommend? I really need anyone's help...Thanks

It's the battery.
Battery.....can buy em all day long @Amazon.com for $5.00
It can't be the battery because it works normal when my phone is not rooted

So you unrooted it and it works fine now?
Yeah it works fine like normal when it isn't rooted, but when I root it again it does the same thing

Well if you really wanna find where the problem is, assuming it's not the battery, try running on stock unrooted for a day, then flash just a rooted kernel, and then try a full rom.
Okay I will try that, but what would you recommend I'm kinda new to this stuff.

You should read this.

I would have to say its not Valhalla final because i am running it with no problems. I have 1day 12hrs 35mins on a single charge. With 38% left on battery. Simply rooting your phone would not cause massive battery issues. Gotta be something more going on.
just wanted to chime in. i was having the same issue, but my sgs4g has been rooted with froyo 2.2.1 since i took it to a guy to root it for me(i had bricked my first one ha!) when KD1 was still the thang. and just a few months ago i started having this problem out of no where, just as used described it op, except i haven't been flashing anything on or off it, and i thought it had to do with a shetty app i had installed. i put a 'new' battery in and had the same issue, eventually the new battery(which was a very sensitive 1500mAh i bought for $20 at a local phone spot) blew up when a gf sat on me while it was in my pocket. the batteries seem really sensitive, there's a warning label to not apply pressure to the battery and it's easy to do with the sgs4g. anyway i went out and bought a 900mAh from best buy for 40 bucks :"""( but it works fine now. battery slowly creeps to zero like its supposed to. i haven't flashed anything or changed anything app-wise, still rooted.
when i was having this problem i also found that there's a battery calibration app for when you flash a new rom, but it didn't help me. worth a shot when you flash a new rom though i reckon.
hope that helps!
Sensitive? Really? Lmao
That's a load of crap.
I have 4 batteries that i charge on a continuous basis with an external charger and 2of them have been thru hell and back and still work as good as new. And for your info battery calibration apps do nothing good for your battery.
I'm not saying they don't go bad cuz I've had several that have....but sensitive? I'm not buyin that.
I am an ironworker and keep my extra batteries in my pocket all day every day and always have one in the charger.
As for rooting your phone causing the battery problems.....not buyin that either....that my friend is in your head....or there's more to it than your telling us.
