Could it be the radio was flashed wrongly?
You might want to flash the radio.
See, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440503

Some people may have problems with this.
If you experience heavy bateery drain with that, i recommend you to downgrade to 3.21.90.
But for some, it works very well.

I have experienced very heavy battery drain in 3.14.
What problems do you have now?

The phone still on and off?

You can change the software totally by flashing to Onyx Micro.
That is the lightest rom and basically it has almost nothing, except for basic stuff.
So go and test it out.

hi
i did all the steps referred in this post and problem remains.
what is most strange is that despite i flash with all roms here and there, the provider logo stays, then the logo of the rom i flash.
has this something to do with my problem?

The provider of the logo is normal.
Its just for trademarking the phone.

This is a motherboard problem where your phone's frequency is scrambled. I have the same problem and now i am thinking about replacing the motherboard
