Eventually I got it right.


*** As an UPDATE ***


Originally I had the n2c pre-8 v2, extended battery for many months. No problems at all! I tried to install the new noNueBar and that's when i started having problems.

So i've been running the stock sprint rom for about 24 hours now with the stock OEM battery. No problems at all. Going to throw in my extended battery and see how that goes for a while.

The issue was my phone would randomly turn off, freeze on sleep and never recover without pulling the battery, and occasionally the red light would be solid on when trying to power on the device. When the phone wouldn't turn on even with battery pull, i had to plug it into the USB (PC) and then i would get a reaction.

The reason I thought it was a short was because I had read about someone having a red light on and their phone not working. It was said that the red light = short circuit. Thus my reasoning. I am thinking (hopefully not) that it's the extended battery. But i only have a few days for it's 6 month warranty to cover it so i need to find out fast.

Thanks for all the help gang! Will let you know if anything else happens.

It is a good possibility that it was the radio.....I did the same thing had .5 and decided to give .4 a shot.....although I did not have the same issue as you, I was having a lot of problems with the phone....especially making and receiving calls....I took it up to the store and got a brand new one in the box..... have heard that flashing the radio more than a few times can affect it.....
