I have been trying my best to diagnose a two-fold issue, both a SoD and a "Hot Pocket" (random phone heat ups) issue. It appears I have found the cause(s) of at least one of them, maybe both.. Miren Browser and non-stock email.apk
My phone was in sleep mode for well over an hour when it began heating up again and would not come out of sleep (hardware buttons light up, but screen stays off). This time I was next to my PC, so I did a "top" on it via ADB and found this:
Two important things to note:
1) My phone had been asleep for an hour prior to this
2) My phone had just come back into range of my wifi router (wifi was enabled).
After killing Miren browser, the email app FC'd on me, but the phone immediately came out of it's SoD the second I killed Miren. The email app FCing may be unrelated, although I don't recall it FCing on me before this.
EDIT: It appears the email FC was related, as reverting to the stock ED01 email.apk prevented all stability issues and greatly extended my battery life, even with identical email settings.
Subsequent tops (after killing Miren) revealed this:
Genie is the news and weather app, which is likely updating at this moment.
and this:
Anyone know what gm is? Google maps? If so, that should totally not be there, as I had not started it.
EDIT: gm is Gmail, which I do use, so that makes sense.
and finally this:
I've never used google Docs, ever. So it seems the stock google apps are draining the battery for no reason whatsoever, seeing as I've never run Docs, yet it is still taking up major CPU time. I'll be freezing that right away.
I'd like to know what "com.google.android.gm" and if it is safe to freeze it as well. Anyone?
For those who wish to diagnose their own phone the same as I did, here is the quick and dirty:
Please post your findings, as I'd really like to get to the bottom of these Hot pocket and SoD issues on this phone.
Cheers

For those who wish to diagnose their own phone the same as I did, here is the quick and dirty:
- Turn on USB debugging via handset settings
- Run: adb.exe shell on your PC
- Type su <enter>
- Type top -m 5 -n 3 <enter>
Please post your findings, as I'd really like to get to the bottom of these Hot pocket and SoD issues on this phone.
Cheers
