    Constant Sync Icon...draining battery...

    I've recently installed Project Elite V3, and since doing so, I have the sync icon in my notification bar constantly. This is draining my battery much faster than it should. I have a very high "Android System" usage, and my partial wake stats say that the phone is running 100% of the time (no wonder the battery life sucks). I've done just about everything I can think of to stop it including but not limited to, wiping and reinstalling twice, changing kernels, turning off auto sync, airplane mode. I seem to be the only one with this issue as no one else in the release thread has mentioned an issue. Any ideas how I can solve this?

    Thanks

    Unsure if this is related to my previous issue. I am not seeing any of the apps on my SD card in my app drawer. Not only that, but when I go to Settings>applications>manage apps nothing from the SD card ever finishes computing so I can't uninstall or clear data etc. I also can't install anything either from the SD card with TiBu or from the Market. Definitely could use some rescuing here

    LT* I'm sending you to the Rescue Squad area....these guys and girls are great.

    Are you restoring apps via TB after your data/cache wipe? If so don't use it restore via market sync. That would be my first recommendation. Wipe data/cache sync via market and report back. Somebody will be along to help you.

    Good luck!!

    If you go to settings>accounts & sync>press your gmail account, can you see what is not syncing correctly?

    Thanks so much for the reply. I can't seem to get the SD card to show up as storage. So now I can't load anything to the root of my card to flash it. I CAN see my pictures and music on the phone, but none of the apps seem to be seen. I tried downloading a fresh install of PEv3 from this site on my phone, but the DL was unsuccessful. any ideas? Thanks


    Edit: I managed to get it mounted through SPrecovery and got a fresh install done, I immediately noticed that USB and debugging came up, so that's good. waiting for apps to DL from market now. fingers crossed.

    update: I am finding that I cannot install anything from any source at this point. The market just hung and nothing installed. I've tried to restore one app from TiBu and it won't install either (yes I checked allow install from unknown sources). Not sure how I can lose the ability to install anything. I also just tried to mount my SD card, and it soft rebooted and now says "Process System is not responding" FC, wait, report . It's just hanging there. not feeling encouraged now...


    Edit: Battery pull fixed it, but still can't install anything...

    LT* you should format the SD card...that may resolve your issue.

    Back all the contents of your SD card on your desktop/format SD/ restore SD back-up to your card.

    Hopefully you can format the SD card.

    I may be able to do that, but I'm not sure it will help with my ability to install anything even in the internal memory. I've changed the install location to internal, didn't help. It seems like I have no installer package on the phone anymore. Also, when I go to manage apps in settings, it never finishes computing the size of each pre installed app. I read a lot of the threads with problems that other users have, and I've never seen this one before.

    Going to try and reformat the card, but I'm not sure it will help since I can mount it and see the contents in recovery mode. So frustrating.

    Actually, the synch icon issue seems to be gone with this latest reinstall, but now I have other issues.

    After a format of my SD card, there has been no change in the behavior. I did notice, that when it boots, the "bump" or vibration that usually happens is not. the boot is also much quicker than it used to be. Still need rescuing

    Edit: I just did another reboot, and it's definitely not booting properly. I get the opening animation, and then when it should hold and pulse the image (and the vibration and dimming of the image happens) it does not happen. Instead, the image pops up, and then goes immediately to my home screen.
