Re: evo randomly rebooting

Mine rebooted itself yesterday while I was on a call and had gps on. I thought it might be related to that, but I'm not sure. After that, I turned gps off and I didn't have any issues that I noticed for the rest of the night.

I've been getting great standby battery performance lately, so didn't put my phone on charge when I went to bed. When I woke up my battery was almost completely dead. I checked and my awake time and up time were the same, to the second. I put another battery in it and it almost completely the depleted it in less than 4 hours!!

During this time it randomly rebooted many times. It was also starting to get hot. I went into OS Monitor and noticed that "people" was using about 30% cpu. I tried to kill the process, but it wouldn't die either. I disabled facebook contact syncing, but it didn't have any immediate improvement, but that was the last thing I did before it stopped happening.

While troubleshooting, I uninstalled ATK, droid locator, unrevoked, overclock widget, and wifi tethering in that order. I was about to do a hard reset, but went for a bike ride first listening to music. It hasn't happened again and everything is back to normal now. I'm not sure what the culprit was. I'm pretty confident that it wasn't ATK though, because that was the first thing I removed with no improvement.

I'm confused, but at least it isn't happening now. I hope it doesn't start happening again, because there are times when I really depend on my EVO.
