actually you will still get phone calls and text messages. turn it off and the 3g symbol disappears, but you will still see your cell reception bars. i can't verify voicemail at this time. i believe this just kills the data.
i think its because sprint uses separate networks for data and voice.
I did a factory reset (not of the SD card, though) and pulled my battery and my phone is again sleeping. I'm not sure what fixed it -- I'm hoping it is pulling the battery, and I'll test that out on my wife's phone tonight.
If this all works, then maybe I can get my EVO back on track. Still, erasing all my settings sure did hurt, especially since I just got the phone the way I wanted it. Oh well.
I'll update in a few days when I find out the results of all these tests...
I am bummed after loading Froyo that I still have the issue with the "trickle charge" not working...I loose 12% of battery once I first unplug it in like 10min of use. Anyone else still have this issue? Anyone find or hear of a fix coming? I dont know someone personally who has an EVO and doesnt have this issue.
I did a factory reset and now my awake and up time are within 2 hrs of eachother FML dude I am soo ****ing tired of this shit with the updates... now I am at 65% battey at 1 pm after taking it off at 7 am and sending 5 txts
I lose 5-6% when I unplug the phone...within 5 minutes
Yeah I'm sorry, I spoke too soon. My phone's still wiping battery like it's going out of style. I just assumed that since it resumed sleeping it'd be fixed -- but it's only sleeping 25% of the time now. I don't know what to do about it except hope a patch comes soon.
I was having issues w/my battery draining due to the phone always awake. I did a hard reset on the phone & followed the battery saving tips that are in this thread. My last app I installed was FB 1.3.1 & noticed my phone not sleeping causing my battery to drain fast. I uninstalled FB yesterday, charged my phone, and as of right now my battery is at 47%.
16h 29m 3s since unplugged
Up time 20:32:18
Awake time 2:57:50
My phone is finally sleeping since I've uninstalled the FB app 1.3.1 and I'm not seeing my battery draining like it was.
Everyone should take note that the FB app may appear to be 'closed' or you may not have ever opened it. But, it may still be running in the background since it was 'activated' to sync as part of the 2.2 update. To check this, go to Settings / Applications / Running and see if FB is, indeed, running on your phone. If so, hit the Force Close / Stop button then do not sign into the FB app again. Use your browser to do your FB stuff, works better anyway.
