Random crashes, really need help - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi there,
I have my UNI for about two years now and most of the time I really love the device. It still is faster and has a better screen than most of the other phones out there even today. There is one problem though I really would like to be solved.
I have tried all roms out there and all radio's with varying results however my phone keeps crashing a lot. And when it does soft rebooting it doesnt always help. There are multiple things that can happen and I'll desicribe them below:
- Sometimes it all works just fine
- It can show the bootscreen and then hang on it forever
- It can show a completely white screen forever
- It can show the bootscreen and then suddenly a messy screen filled with random pixels
- It can show the boorscreen and then suddenly a screen with horizontal stripes/beams on it in most of the times two different colors.
- It can show the bootscreen and then the second bootscreen (its mostly green) and then show a fully green screen and stay like this forever.
- Sometimes when it crashes the battery gets really warm
- Often after one of the previous symtoms the phone doesnt do anything anymore when pressing the soft reset butten (expept a small red flash of the left led light)
What sometimes works to get it booted again: get the battery out, put it back in and connect it to the power loader
Also just waiting for a long time seems to help
I always thought it might have something to do with the battery (the original one has the 40% problem) so I bought others. An extended one from dyna, and two others from cameron sino. The crashes and results vary with all batteries. With some it seems to be more often than with others but with none of them it works flawlessly. I have just ordered a new dyna one but somehow I doubt this will solve my problem.
I also have dropped my phone pretty often so there might be something wrong with the main board? I have tried to reproduces a crash by gently (but not too gently) deforming my phone, pressing on it and moving the lid, but that doesnt seem to lead to a crash.
I really would like to know if there is a way to find out why it crashes. Are there diagnostic tools out there with which I can check the hardware? I really would like some help!
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Hi Mano
Hi Mano,
I guess you are also facing a similar problem like mine. Well you are lucky you are getting an answer since it took me a quite a few hours of searching and nail biting agony to finally realise that, the part of your ROM is corrupted and nothing can be done to get it fixed unless you change the main board.
It suxs but that the truth bro. Hope you can fix it or buy another set.
regards,
techx

Thanks for replying!!
Is there a way to check the integrity of your rom? Then I could check if it is that... I guess I could buy a new main board off ebay or something...
Happy new year!!
Regards,
Mano3

fixed!!
Hey guys,
I solved my problem! So far it is running for two days without any crash! I use the program Pocket Hack Master to set the CPU speed at 312 MHz. Keeping it at this speed keeps my phone stable. When I really need the proc speed I can set it higher to do what I want to do and afterwords I set it back to 312 MHz again. Not the most practical but for most functions the memory is the speed bottleneck anyways.
Hope this helps others!!
Greets,

I cheered to early... Problem still there I now bought a new one off ebay, lets hope that works

temperature problem

I tought I had a boot problem on my Elf, after days with sw related troubleshooting I found out that the CPU crashes with normal temperature. At startup it stops right before you have to type the PIN code for the SIM card, unless its cold - then it works like a charm! Now we live separate lives, me in the livingroom and my htc in the fridge!
Sounds familiar to anyone? I expect that some hw replacement have to be done but I have no idea what could cause this fault. It came suddenly at normal use.
Are you serious? You're actually saying you keep your phone in the fridge??!! For real? And as unbelievable as that sounds....it works fine there....and crashes the moment you get it out?? Like for real??
Are you sure you didn't flash a new rom or something...or changed something after which this has started. I've seen some weird issues...but this one surely takes the cake.
lol... sounds funny !
Seems complicated but you can always move to the north pole, hitch a ride with santa when he comes................
Ok enough joking around and let's get serious: if you can take the touch apart completely because you must have it filled with dust etc. and it heats up because it doesn't have enough refrigeration result: power off or crash. There is a tutorial on how to do this somewhere here. I had the same issue with a nokia some years ago and even used bluetooth to make calls from the fridge untill someone told me why.... you can't do it wrong there is a tutorial
disassamble
Yes, I've sees the turtorial and saved it as a favoritt! I also disassambled it once to see if theres a obvious reason for this behavior, but it seems all good. I might try again and look for hotspots, and clean out whatever I can find. It is over a year old, so it would be believable that dust generates the overheat.
By the way, I allready live half way up to the north pole at aprox 66 degrees north - northern norway! Not so cold to day, +6 Celcius!
lol...ok then. All the extreme temperatures apart.....If your device is over a year old....might I suggest a hard reset then. If could be some phone malfunction. A hard reset might just put it back together again. Of course....do backup all your info first.
yeah
I did the hard reset early before I had any chance to do a backup as a init to my trubleshooting. It might give a tad faster phone, but that could be because there is nothing more to process!!! Sees like the temperature is more critical. It works fine for an hour or two then its right back to the frigde...
I did suspect the battery, that it could generate to much heat because of its age, but the batterytime is all fine and it doesnt feel very hot!
time will show... Just waiting for the Touch HD to get over its "publication-over-price", and the my Elf will live happily ever after in my drawer (Sorry if thats a four letter word in this forum)
away from the funny posts above a technical question did you use any program for overclocking before this happen eg battery status
No overclocking!
The phone is all original settings and software. It happend when the when I was on the phone and the "battery low turnoff"-interrupt occured. I put in the charger and tried to restart the phone, but it stopped right before the PIN-code meny. The backgroundlight responds to the buttons when it crashes. It seems that its just waiting for the SIM-card init-rutine.
But if I've coold it down and get it up and running, it still crashes when it reaches normal temperature. As the temperaure rises it respons slower and slower at buttons etc. In the end it all stops and it stays "where you left it"! The on/off bacgroundlight function still remains intact, but you cant use the power off function on the same button. Only soft reset - and go to bootleg(RGB-window) - and then power it down with the power off button. Then it goes to fridge again...
I shall try to clean it inside later on even though it seemed all fine when I had a look earlier.
Replaced the motherboard
If anyone out there still is interested; I sendt the phone to a serviceshop some days before the guarantee time ended and they gave me a new motherboard in the phone. So insted of having a broken Elf in my closet I now have a up going and working elf in my closet - for what its worth!!
LOL! ok well I live in Africa.. summer temps. from 25 - 35 Degrees C are the norm and I've never had a problem like that, hehe.

Questions and Answers Section for BA Forum. Post Your Questions Here.

@All,
As a celebration for my 1000th post, I decided to open a new thread based on Tweakman's idea, which seemed to work very well in the Development and Hacking Section. The idea is simple, a single thread for all Questions, Problems, and Concerns regarding Blue Angel. This includes, but it is not limited to:
[highlight]*Problems with Flashing.[/highlight]
Can't get your device in bootloader? Did it freeze during flashing and now it doesn't get past the 4 colored screen? Are you a complete noob and need some guidance as to how to flash? Etc.
[highlight]*Have questions about which Rom is best?[/highlight]
[highlight]*Want to install software but don't know if it is compatible with your BA[/highlight]
You get my point. All the questions that I have seen/answered over the past couple of months are just repetitions of posts, threads, and things that are readily available on the wiki or in other threads. However, people are either lazy, don't know what a Wiki is / where to find it, or just flat out don't know how to search (or read the forum rules for that matter). Having something general (in this case a sticky) that says "Hey, if you have a question, you can ask here" should draw enough attention and start minimizing the number of new threads and posts opened by users (both new and seasoned). This way, we will be able to keep the development threads a little cleaner and smaller... hence making the site's search function work a little better in the process.
@Seniors,
Kinda like the Q&A team, I will need your help in trying to keep the influx of questions to a certain level by answering them as we see them. None of us are logged in 24/7 (or at least some of us aren't ), but if you guys see a question, please try to answer it. I know that xplode, Chef_Tony, markanthonypr, red_hanks, sun_dream, imatrix, +Que_PPC, motisu, and others normally try to keep this under control, but if we centralize it and contain it, we will have a cleaner forum.
Reserved for future use.

hi
hi specialists
my friend has Blue Angel,he has strange problems.
in (sounds & notification),it didnot saved after changing any parameter,we tried by reflash the rom again,but nothing changed,also we reinstalled radio 1.15 but no change,also the ring tone of the msg is discontinue or irregular when played,and some times didnot wake up (of the device) when recieve a msg.
this is strange issued problems but in mine (BA) every thing is ok,this problems only in my friend (BA),I mate PDA2K.
any ideas?any suggestions?
thnx
notice:when we down grade to wm 6.1 every thing is ok

Hey homam,
Thanks for kicking things off
First of all, which OS were you having problems with? This is important because it could have been a bug in a rom that could have been fixed in a later version.
@mark,
I know I can count on you, buddy I need help from the mods as well though. I cannot redirect posts to here and/or close threads
My BA, keeps turning on from standby, by a light shock! I maen, if you press the Power button, and then you knock gently on it's back, it turns back on!!
I've set to "Lock all buttons except the power button", However, I still have this issue.
Well, I must confess that once it dropped off of my hand, and it's the result of that...
Any ideas?
by "it turns back on" i assume you mean it wakes up from stand by, it doesn't really start like after a soft reset, right?
since the BA's only battery activated wake-up is in the cradle and we are not talking about soft reset, my first guess is, the battery is not to blame.
have you checked whether you can use your camera at all time? i mean, the camera_detect does not usually run at all times but if the camera connector is a little lose, from now and then it could "discover" the new camera hardware and wake up, that is unlikely for normal devices, but if yours had a crash before...
you could refer to this site for checking possible hardware reasons:
http://www.land-of-kain.de/ppc/mda3/disassembly/
the hardware things aside, there are also many possible software reasons for the device to wake up on:
- update of titanium weather
- automatic email checking
- cell broadcast
- if bluetooth is on
- if beam is on
- automatic update of any software...
plus of course the usual:
- incoming call
- incoming text message
- incoming mms
- upcoming calendar event...
so please check the possible software wake ups first to make sure this is really a hardware issue, because that would be a shame, that could be tricky to solve.
or let me put it this way, if it is really the moving that wakes it up, you have the first BA with accelerometer
EDIT: last but not least, it could only be a bug, maybe a hard reset or change of the rom could also be a way to go, since spontaneous waking up is a known bug for BAs
Chef_Tony
If there was only a way to hack the hardware and make this work at least on Edge. I can live with everything else, but its a shame paying for a full unlimited Internet service and only getting G connection Sighhhhhhh
Ok, I had to let that frustration out !!!!!!

Wow! Tony! I really appreciate your complete answer. I mean it.
Yes, as you correctly assumed, I meant wake-up. It just wakes up and continues the routine WinMo operation; no soft-reset occurs.
It's less than a year that I've replaced the battery with a new one. I remember all the funny things used to happen when the old battery was dying. But non of them were similar to this one.
It can't be the Camera. Well, I'm able to use it all the time, and the "camera_detect" has been always loaded in the processes whenever I've checked it. About the looseness thing, ummm, I'm not sure. I tried to knock on it to see if it's more sensitive than other parts. I think the upper part of the device is more likely to wake it up by an easy hit (like knocking). but it's the whole upper part, not only the camera section nor the camera button.
Unfortunately, the software possibility, is unlikely to be the problem:
I've used many ROMs on my lovely BA which 3-4 times of them taken place since the wake-up problem.
The software and the usual reasons you counted, do wake it up. but shakes, too.
Finally, to be honest, I'm agree with you! This is the first Blue Angel with accelerometer. yeaaah! I did it!
I bet my friends that I can wake my BA up, without touching any buttons or screen! It's fun this way, but I comes to be annoying when I put it in my pocket or just put it on a table! and it wakes up... consider the forced battery consumption, unwanted screen taps if I don't lock the screen. God bless A_C! and... .
I know it's a hardware issue (((((
@raizaM: My Thought.... Have you ever taken it apart? One of my BA's had 3 loose bolts inside. All 3 were from what I think is the Radio/Antenna part at top. However, in my case, I had a rattle going inside. Thats why I put it apart. You might have something loose inside, causing a connection to arc when you knock on your phone. If you do deside to open it, there is a tutorial on the wiki on how to.

Hey mark!
I had that same issue a while back, but with only one screw (also from the same area as yours).
@raizaM
Just to knock off Chef_Tony's theory out of the table completely, try to erase camera_detect.lnk from \Windows\startup and SR your device. If Chef was right, then your issue might be gone. However, I would follow markanthony's advice and take it apart in case Chef's idea doesn't work.
Oh man, your not my hero anymore LoL.. and here I thought I would be the only one with a mechanic inside my phone.

Well, it kept me entertained when my BA would run out of juice
Thanks for your kind advices.
Actually, I tried to remove "camrea_detect" from the startup once, but any way, I gave it a shot again... no success...
Frankly, I'm a lil bit afraid to take my lovely BA apart... :-s... What if... :-(
But, I guess sooner or later I need to do so. so what the heck... lets do it.
Maybe I'll do it tonight. Guys please help me through it. I don't wanna loose my Angel!
Ton'y link provided in the previous posts, would be my start:

any more advices?
raizaM: You're not going to go that far deep. Only remove the cover. If you look at picture #4 on that link, the top green area has about 6 bolts all around it. Those were the ones that were loose on mine. 2 of them were rattling inside the phone. I still can't believe they didn't cause a short circuit. You don't need to go down into the camshell area. Do you use the sliding keyboard? If so, you could have a bad flex cable. But, don't worry about tha for now. Just remove back cover and carefull inspect for loose bolts. Don't over tighten them.
all the master please help, my BA strange,,,,, the screen suddenly go dead after actived wifi or playing game, its suddenly dead, and i must push power button to turn it on again through proses like softreset, that in battery power. but if i conect in charger power mode, i turn wifi,playing game, its normal, the BA still on and working normal,
please2,,,,,if someone knows the problem please help, im desper now....

It seems that you have the backlight settings set to dim/turn off too fast. Go to \Settings\System\Backlight and modify the settings in there (particularly the ones labeled "On Battery Power"). Then, soft reset the device (stylus on the bottom).
Hope this helps.

not the setting, it got black scren, its dead screen after running wifi or application, suddenly goes dead, black screen,.
Have you tried with another battery? It sounds to me like your battery is about to die. It won't hold the heavy battery consumption of Wi-Fi and heavy CPU usage while on Games. Try with another battery. Also make sure you followed Egzthunders suggestion to change your Power Settings. If you still need help, post back and include more info about your device, such as, what version of Windows are you running and how old/new is your battery.

HTC HD2 hangs when too warm.

Hello Guys,
I'm very disappointed with my HTC HD2. It has been already 3 times for fixing various issues in the service but now another one has occured.
When is hot and I keep my device in packet or too much use downloading/uploading then it hanges but in the interesting way. Everything starts working very,very slowy and half of the touchpad screen is not responding. When I remove battery and start the phone again it still works very slowly and I cannot type even PIN becouse left side of screen is unresponsive :/ After some time 5-10minutes it starts working properly.
What I have tried is:
1) hard reset
2) different rom - I have uploaded Chucky ROM
The issues are still the same. When is too hot then the phone hanges and even removing battery does not fix it which clearly shows that it must be some hardware issue. I have read some posts on different forums and it seems that not only me having these kind of problems. Some people reported to exchange 2-3 devices to have at last some working properly one.
Do you have any clues or similar problems like me?
Thank you for all your answers.

sounds like you device may be defected, i'd take it back to where you got it from.
I mean i have had freezing issue before but its never been just due to it being warm

HD2 Heat causing freeze on soft reset

yesterday i had the problem lots of HD2 owner faced it, my device worked fine, but when i had to soft reset it, it always freezes on the white screen, and never starts up, every many times of taking the battery out, and start again, it finally started up.
i tried to soft reset it again and faced the same problem
i tried to flash the ROM again, but after many tries, i finally got it to flash, but the thing is that the problem wasn't solved, and the unit kept freezing in the start up, but once it started up it worked perfectly until the next soft reset.
but then i tried cooling the device against an AC, and the surprise was that the unis was able to start normally, every time with no problems when it was cooled
any one faced such problem with the device? i will try it again today at noon, when the temperatures are high.
I tried it again now, when the Battery temperature was 38.5, the devise did not start, when i cooled it down, it did start, and when it started the battery temperature was 35.5
can some one with the same issue confirm?
Yes I am having the same problem!
My fone did the same again last night and I'm going to try reflash it today - else the POS is going back to the shop! Not happy!
did you try cooling it down? flashing the ROM did not help me at all
Can this be a Battery problem? that the battery can not provide the required current when it's heated?
ok, i did these two experiments
1- i heated the battery alone on a air heater to almost 45 degree
and cooled the phone, but the phone did boot up normally
2- i heated the phone on the heater and cooled the battery, the phone didn't bootup
so the problem is defiantly with the phone not the battery :-(

Yes, onlywhen the phone was cool to the touch again did it boot correctly. However last night it did the same but would not reboot after leaving it for a while. I tried to do a hard reset but the phone hung on the HTC boot screen and would not go further.
This morning the OS booted but was totally corrupt - it looked like booting in to windows 98!! no graphics, no HTC Sense, no usual colour scheme and a whole whole of corrupt file messages. This happened each time I hard reset - and the USB port also failed to recognise any device. I think it's safe to say it is practically bircked and thus, Ireturned it to O2 today to sort out and give me a new handset! I think it is a hardware issue. Infact, I'll put biscuits on it being that vs software.
it is definitely a hardware issue, but the thing is, these are the first few days of summer in my country, the days when the weather is getting really hot, and i guess this is the first summer HD2 will experience, since it was released in the Autumn, so my guess is more and more units will get this issue as the weather get hotter in other countries
Hi guys.
Weird issue you are facing!.. Mine gets very hot on hard use.. today I tried a soft reset while it was hot and it started normally.
When did you bought your HD2?

i got it like 4 months ago, but i am sure now that there is a hardware issue
had a same problem...
my solution was screawing the middle battery pin under cover...
the hd2 have must have Temperature senzor...
the hd2 have 3 pins under battery cover, 1 = +, 3 = -, and the middle pins is the 2 = ?
i think the middle or the pin nr. 2, is same as ACPI in desktop or notebook, Advanced Configuration and Power Interface,
Operating System-directed configuration and Power Management,
so if your middle pin is screawed, the powermanagement tell to device stop boot!!
or if the pin dont make a contact with battery - the powermanagement canot corectly detect the Temperature and the hd2 owerheat, then randomly restart...
its only my teory, my middle pins was screawed, im take it to the right position and my device worked well... but i want more and more and i broke the middle pin
after that the hd2 boot, and worked but when i want to do restart dont want to boot...
now my hd2 is in service center... so for all i want to say:
warrnig!!! dont youse the power or angry when u want to screaw the pin back
its only my teory, im not the electro technic...
sorry for my english, but i think everybody understand what i want to say
i know sucj hardware issues are unfixable, i am wondering should i get me a new HD2 or another phone
I got mine on contract in March - 1.48 ROM. but also had the issues in 1.66 prior to sending back.
Just awaiting for it to be returned - I'll report back to let you know if sending it away has fixed the issue. I'll be a mite miffed if they just flash the ROM and send it back lol!
had the same issue: overheating / reset loop / stuck on white screen
contacted HTC, sent for repair, received with new mainboard,
now works flawlessly

I had the same problem with mine on an UK O2 network. They took it back and flashed it. Sadly that didn't solve the problem. So I sent it back again and they replaced it with a newer model. This seems to have fixed it. Sadly looks like the early ones were crapy and had the same fault.
However mine still gets ruddy hot when connected to the anything in the car.
Bad job HTC :-(
Hi all,
Actually, there is CPU's overheating problem, not battery's. ALLMOST same problem you'll have if you'll remove cooler from your PC's CPU
My LEO shuts down at 38 deg. and cannot start again without cooling. Definitely, it's a price for 1 GHz processor - it should have less power demand or good cooling system.
Hi had the same problem mine also used to reboot on it's own when connected on pc and overheated. Going to contact HTC repair and send it back. I was wondering though is it ok if i send it back with a cooked rom and 2.10 radio or will they not change it cause i've switched that on my own? Any ideas pls?

Early model as in what date.month.year?
Regarding getting ruddy hot when connected to the anything in the car, it's the connector, IMHO.
I have problems too. My God, today is the first and really hotest day of the year in Germany.When I will back in Spain at 40 degrees celsius there my hd2 will be a bomb!!
My device is a German o2 hd2...

My phone freezes :(

Hi, i have a SGH-I337M, with the AOSP 6.0.1 rom with root, since i can remember the phone had been pretty much hot, i didn't care much back then since i use it a lot but recently my phone started to freeze, like the screen freezes and i cant do anything, not even turn it off, so i have to take off the battery let it cool for 20 minutes and start it again, then it works about 10 or 20 minutes and then again it freezes i think it might be related to the heat. Also some few times my screen has turned green and then white and others few times i can see some sort of colored strings.
I'm pretty sure its hardware related but i don't know why it happens and if it can be repaired, do think ill have to change the whole motherboard?
Thanks in advance
Graphics chip may be the problem You shouldn't let your phone overheat like that I think it's the graphics chip (because of the color artifacts) You can try to reinstall ROM (clean installation) and flash another modem&bootloader, or even flash stock ROM. If that doesn't help then your graphics chip is damaged...There is 'repair', by changing motherboard, but it can be very expensive (if you don't find another S4 with broken screen or something else with working motherboard)
I already reinstalled the rom (clean install) and yupp, it doesn't work, the warmest place in my phone is between the sim card and the sd card, so i guess ill have to change my motherboard X_X
Anyway, thank you very much!

Have you actually tried other ROMs, or are you just a negativist?

You should get CPUTemp Xposed module and stop letting your phone get hot! I usually stop screwing around with mine when the temp gets to like 50/60-something Celsius. And like GDReaper said, don't be a Negative Nancy, be a Positive Paulie and play around with other ROMs!!
my original phone screen did things like that after a pretty heavy drop onto a tiled floor. it maybe a good idea to have a technician diagnose your problem before forking out money for parts that might not fix anything.
Thank you all for your answers, i did tried to flash some other roms without success (I still have the same problem) i am afraid to continue playing with roms since my phone sometimes freeze in the middle of the android configurations when i reboot my phone just after the new installation and i don't want it to freeze in the middle of the installation of a rom.
I think ill go to a technician to see what can be done about it, ill keep you informed what was the problem
