Sprint hero restarting after 2.1

I have installed several of the 2.1 roms out there. Each one that i install causes my phone to randomly restart. Is this a common issue with anyone else? As soon as I go back to 1.5, the restarting stops.

I am having the same issue on the stock 2.1. The only answer I have gotten from HTC is hard reset. But I have already done this twice. So I am going to root my phone and hopefully get rid of this problem. It only started after I updated to 2.1.

Silly question perhaps, but are you completely wiping data and dalvik cache before flashing any of these 2.1 ROMs? Sometimes this happens if you don't do a full wipe before installing new ROMs.

I'm having the same issue, and I did a full wipe, installed several different roms and finally settled on aloysius

i've had the same problems with every 2.1 rom with the exception of darchdroid.
for me it usually happened after i placed a phone call and tried to hang up
and yes everything was wiped before flashing....

im having the same issue i knew i wasnt the only one, has anyone figured out why this is???

I am getting that error trying to install ZenEXP.

Same issue here, only mine's been doing it out of the box, as I got mine the day the EVO was released. I've rooted it and attempted to install several ROMs hoping to get rid of the issue, but had no luck so far. Never had the luxury of having 1.5, as mine came with 2.1, so I just thought it was the phone, honestly. Interesting to know the issue doesn't occur with 1.5...
Anybody got a copy of the stock 1.5 from original release? I'd like to give it a shot.

I do not have any issues that have been listed here. I am running fresh rom and everything is working great.Just wanted to make sure all views arebeing represented in this thread

hmmm....had a thought, did the phone get really hot when it happened....cause that is what happened when i was on fresh....

You won't be able to go back to the stock 1.5 original. That has been tried already by a bunch of developers here and it didn't work. You would probably be able to flash a 1.5 ROM (browse way back into the Development pages forum here), but since you had stock 2.1, there's no way for you to go back to stock 1.5.
For all the rest of you, not sure why you are getting random reboots, but as mentioned in the previous post, sometimes the Heros do that when they get overheated or overworked. It would be best to root and start with a very stable, non-overclocked ROM. A couple of the most stable and reliable stock-based ROMs here in this section are DamageControl 2.09.1 and nfinitefx45's Stock 2.27.651.6. I recommend you try either of those out if you haven't already -- hopefully that will fix/solve some of your troubles.
Please report back if any if you have success or more problems with these...we want to make sure you get the help you need

overheating is defiantly not whats causing my restarting. im not trying to thread hijack so ill provide a link to the thread i started about this same issue. in my thread i have attached bug reports (i think thats what they are) and now i have stopped receiving help just when i provided the info needed to see whats casuing this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684727
Im not any good at code so i cant read the big reports well. but i believe its a hardware issue because there is a small presentage of people having these errors and i cant seam to get anyone to be able to reproduce this if it doesnt happen to them.

Sorry, I don't understand much of the code myself. And I think a handful of our devs here who understand all that coding have already moved on to the EVO. I read your other thread too but don't know what else to suggest. Wish I could help more. You could just be one of the unlucky few who got a bad, buggy phone right out of the box.
Have you thought about just calling Sprint customer service and asking for a replacement phone? Certainly with all the trouble you're having it may be worth it. I think even if you don't have the insurance plan, a replacement phone is only around $35.

@chromiumleaf, yeah sadly i think its time for a different phone.

mytouch 3g slide restart itself occasionally after root

I didn't test the device before I rooted it. Now even since I rooted the phone, it reboot itself occasionally when using eugene's legend2slide and SlideM rom. Anyone else have similar problem? I also want to mention that I installed DroidFontsfallback.ttf to the /system/fonts/ after I rooted the phone or using those custom roms. Could the font be the cause of the problem?

.
noticed the same problem i dont know what it is

I have noticed this as well. I went from stock -> ENG -> Legend2Slide -> ENG -> SlideMERoot2. I forget when I think I first started noticing the reboots the second time I had the engineering ROM on - but - I didn't keep the engineering ROM on the first time for more than a few minutes, and I only kept Legend2Slide on for about an hour, so I may just have not had it running long enough to reboot itself those times.

Mine is also rebooting randomly.
Last time it was when i changed it to the camera it lagged for a second and then just restarted.

Move posts to Android Dev thread
Don't remember seeing a "Bug" thread, so maybe start a new Bug thread for things that happen after root. Just a suggestion. Thanks.

Same deal here. Its been doing it for a while I just haven't posted anything about it. I'm rooted but on the stock rom and get the reboots every once in a while. Yesterday it did it twice but not today. If I remember correctly I was listening to music and when I stopped the song and hit home that's when it rebooted. Maybe something to do with low memory I'm not sure though as I didn't see the available memory before it rebooted.

Have you guys thought about going back to stock and checking on this to see if it is the phone? If it is return it to t-mobile and get a new one. I have flashed all the available roms and this has not happened to me at all.

Sup fellas
I doubt it is the phone itself. I have had mine running on the standard OS since I got it. I don't want to root unless the froyo update we receive is crap. I'm bearing the pain of not being able to save apps to SD until froyo comes out as an update for the phone. If no luck, then root.
As for reboots, none here. I have had the memory maxed out with widgets on 7 home screens with GDE running, phone running wireless GPS and bluetooth all at the same time and it did not crash nor reboot.
I think there must be some conflict that is in the adk install somewhere. It seems that this is a standard problem after rooting the 2.1 Slide MT3G.

Can a ROM interfere with HTC Sense?

First I apologize if this has been answered in a prior thread but my phone is my only internet access at the moment and my Sense has crashed making it VERY difficult to do any searching.
So anyway, today I went to unlock my phone and it was frozen. I did a soft reset and when it came on Sense would not work. I've been running the Elegancia GTX ROM for over a week now just perfectly then today sense crashed. So i wanted to know if reflashing the ROM could fix it or if its a hardware issue? any input would be MOST appreciated. Or any fixes you know of. Thanks.

Try this...

if your having that much problems with the rom, flash a new rom,
(i prefer core cell series) and when you flash it do a hard reset...
and it should be fine, maybe a program you installed ain't compatible with sense.

If the only issue is with sense (i.e. everything works just fine when sense is off), then it's defintely software related and not hardware, so you can rule that out.
What's probably happend is that one or more of the manila files that sense is "made of" has gotten corrupted or deleted. There's over 3000 of those files (if I remember correctly), so finding exactly which ones is probably impractical.
I would start by uninstalling any recently installed apps/tweaks. This may not solve the problem, but it's the easiest thing to try first. If that doesn't work, then hard-reset the current ROM you're on now...just backup any crucial data from the phone first, and catalog your installed cabs etc for reapplying afterwards. Then, if you still can't get sense to behave, go hunting for another ROM to try.
Also note that any time you flash a ROM to your phone, it's always a good idea to do a hard-reset immediately, before using the new ROM, just to help insure stability of the flash.

Hey thanks Phunkee,
I got it figured out. What it was... I was using the Co0kies HTE that came with the ROM and when I changed the 'custom operator text' and the 'main text color' (to red) it messes with sense. I dont know why. But yesterday I did a hard reset, it fixed it. So before I installed anything I decided to try that same step again and what do ya know...Sense crashed.
I think I saw something about using Red in the forum last night as I was looking for a new ROM but I may have dreamed that haha. Either way, I now know not to do that again. Im running the Omega Series Alexander ROM now, I changed the 'custom user text' (not to red, but still custom) and so far all is well.
Great advice though, thanks for the help! And ya I ALWAYS do the hard reset after flashing, and Task 29 PRIOR to flashing. Yesterday I was oping to avoid a hard reset just because I hate having to re-setup everything back to the way I like it.

Did you mention it to Steve? It might help him to fix it if more than one person is experiencing it...
For now I switched to Omega Series, getting the same speed and performance so its working out pretty well so far.

il let him know, i switched to omega gtx as well, much better battery so far

internet/data issue due to different rom?

Anyone here seeing some data issues on the D2 running Fission? I am in a major city, and it seem like I am kind of having some data issues since I starting running Fusion, specially when browsing the web. The internet seems to lag a bit, and connection seems a bit slow(good bit slower than normal). I got a message few times relating to the data connection. I want to say this could be a network issue, but my sister with a Droid Inc, says here data is fine? Any ideas?

Called VZW today up asking if there was an issue on their end, and they said no. Tech then told me to take out the battery for 10-15 seconds and they try the internet when back on. Tech said it could be due to the phone not properly switching from one tower to another. It did work, but about 2 hours latter I was having the same connection issue where pages would no open up, and data was a bit on the slow side. Did the same method again, and that worked. I didn't have this issue on the stock D2 rom, or with my Eris(well that always dropped 3G reception, this is full bars with connection problem). Could this be due to me being on Fission 2.2.2, or is it whole different matter not due to being in Fission? Thanks

Im running 2.2.2 and im not having that issue. My girl has a D1 and she gets the same crappy service i get i really dont think its the rom. And i dont think there is enough of a difference between 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 to have one get different reception than the other
Shot from my level 60 crossbow of awesomness!

Maybe it just my phone then? I guess will see what I can do.

Have your tried a root reset with a reinstall?

I have been having this problem, Data will just stop working all together. Text messages won't get sent or delivered. The 3G icon just shows uploading and not downloading or stops showing anything at all. I can't fix it unless I turn on Airplane Mode then back off or reboot the phone. Right now I'm running Fission 2.1 but I ran into Data issues with the default R2D2 rom.

So the issue your having is not related to a fission rom...

So, I may have solved the issue. I started clean again; cleared all data and status and stuff, then reinstalled 2.2.2, and then hard rested. Only thing I did different was not install the black status bar and all seems fine, and data seems normal.

I hate to say this man, but from my experience, the more "stuff" you throw on top of a rom, the more bugs your gonna encounter. And youll never have the same bug twice...

Why is that?

The issue may have arisen again, but I was on the market, so it not clear if that was the market issue many people are facing or it was a data issue.

Im not a dev or anything, but here is an example. I was having problems with a rom i was running last night, reboots and such. The very first thing the dev who made the rom asked me was if i was running a theme. Now, im not saying you shouldnt use custom themes or addons with these roms, but every device is different and will react different. And when your flashing 3-4 different themes over a rom trying to find one you like, or flashing addons then trying to undo them your gonna create some issues. Of course, and i remind you again that im not a dev, this is completely based on my experience, and opinion

I guess with themes that can make sense. I wonder what team defused has to say about this?

[Q] long time watcher and rom user. first time poster.

Hello my name is Xan Steel. I've been trying out roms on this forum for my Epic 4G. However I've run across a lot of bugs in this rom "ACS ICS V6". I would love to be able to post them in the development thread pertaining to the rom, but since I'm under the 10 post limit to post in a dev thread. I would like to ask how I go about doing this the correct way without breaking forum rules.
Thanks in advanced
Xan Steel

Tell us what your problems are here.

1st you have to have 10 post. Go to other threads and comment on stuff like the off topic forum. Then you should be able to post on dev threads. Or you can pm them and let them know.

Well as Neckberg has said to post my issues here (Thanks) I shall.
[ROM] ACS ICS V6.
Where to began.
I came from ACS SyndicateFrozen 1.1.1 I could never get 1.2 to run. And this ROM was based on GB. Really wanted to see what GB was like. SO after installing the ROM. Everything started out normal (no issues at that point). It was sluggish which made me wonder if Carrier I.Q. was still in the ROM. It wasn't listed that it was removed.
SO I started trying things out. Everything was going good until I turned on the Wireless WiFi Tether. It crashed outright. Tried again, and crashed. It would open to a black screen and then crash. So I did some digging, and apparently this is a known issue. So I got a different one from the market that worked (Open Garden WiFi Tether).
I installed Opera. I like Opera for it's desktop mode that actually works over Dolphins. I would type in a address, and hit go, and it would act like its going, and then stop and remove what I had typed. Tried again, and it would load a blank page. Tried a third time, and got the HTML header to load the page in a text format. Uninstalled and reinstalled same thing happen. So I left it alone, and about 3 hours later it had uninstalled itself/completely missing on the phone and market stated it wasn't installed. Rebooted phone, still gone. Not idea where it went. After reinstalling it again. it would do the same thing.
So I flashed and wiped X3. And reloaded the ROM. Thinking I have a bad load.
reinstalled all my apps and even though Opera is still doing it's thing I mentioned earlier, it hasn't uninstalled itself... yet.
Now after the reload of the ROM. Last night I lost cell service (couldn't make calls) but I had data. Which was odd to me. Rebooted the phone, and same thing. Had data but not cell service. After about and hour or so, I have cell and data back together. Maybe it was someone working on the tower in the area at 11pm, or maybe the ROM decided it would be funny.
Another thing I noticed. If you hit the menu button to pull menus in apps and on the home screens. They are white on black. White text and image, on a black background. Now if you go into any sub-menu from the main menu, its black on black. You can't read anything unless your lucky to have a bright white page behind it, so that it can try to bleed through some of the transparency.
The battery icon when charging in portrait goes from normal to skinny (blinking), while in landscape mode it goes from normal to fat (blinking).
Also two music apps is not really needed. One is fine. Trimming down on unneeded apps would help save on space. Also remove Carrier I.Q. if it hasn't been yet.
Adding that super brightness, is actually bad. Not thinking about it, it's actually crashed the video HW of the phone. On a plain white screen at max brightness, it starts to artifact, and if what ever your trying to do doesn't complete. The video HW crashes, and you get a pretty rainbow on the screen until you pull the battery. Basically acts like a dying or dead video card in a PC. Also it can (and has happened to me) cause screen burn in. If you want a image of it let me know and I'll post one.
Also Rom Manager does not recognize any ClockWorkMod Recovery, if you manually install the recovery yourself.
If I find anything else buggy I'll post and update here.
Thanks

Note, I haven't tried this rom myself.
No, carrierIQ is not removed on this rom, nor has it been removed on any GB rom that I know of. Still, removed or not, it won't make any difference in the performance of the device.
Any apps that you fine are useless can easily be uninstalled, even if they are installed system/app folder. Rom chefs correct attitude about roms is that they build for themselves first. I personally have 3 music players installed.
We don't have official Rom Manager support so that will be an issue on pretty much all non AOSP roms for the epic.
Your lack of service issue it probably a carrier issue and not a rom issue.

It's a good possibility since it only happened the one time, but since it is a beta, and I'm using it for the first time. I felt it needed to be brought up just in case it wasn't. Heh beta tested a lot of new software, and got into the habit of reporting everything, even if it looks like something else is the issue and not the software.
Many Thanks
