Hello all! Obviously I am new to this forum, and I hate to open with a tech question, but here goes:
I have a SCH-i500 that was through US Cellular, and I have a major problem with the dialer causing serious battery drain. I had this problem before (had to do a hard reset), and I had found a solution at that time, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was, nor can I find any info on the subject unless it's related to HTC phones. I also remember that the screen randomly flashing on while locked is related. The dialer is causing some sort of a wake-lock and persistent CPU usage. Now, my dialer battery usage cannot be blamed on the length and number of calls I make, because this phone is not in service. It is an old phone I use for accessing WiFi, and as a GPS speedometer for my motorcycle. So there are NO calls being placed on it whatsoever, since I have seen that used as an explanation for the battery drain almost every time I have come across this issue somewhere on the internet. If anyone has any ideas how I can force-uninstall the dialer completely, or at least disable it somehow, I would be eternally grateful. I know this problem can be resolved, as I have done it before as mentioned earlier. Someone has to know!
