My phone just turned off on it's own today. The minute I turn it on...5 sec. later it shuts down again. It continues to do this now all the time. I reinstalled the ROM from bootloader...no problem here
I don't think it's was the ROM (Seatone: SONE 2.1) as I went through Seatone's thread. (& yes, I hard reset after ROM install)
But what I'm trying to figure out is, which app was responsible for this event?
Last Installed APPs
• Magic Mobile
• SensorScroll v.05
Checked above APP threads with no issues that match...
Not saying it's the above apps but I'm just mentioning what things I did last in order to figure this out.
Can those who's devices went through this same phenomenon please share.
Ok, use a program like AdvancedConfig to edit the display timer and see if that works.
When it starts back up again, it doesn't even get passed the flash screen.
Don't worry about that, i've reflashed the device and everything is working. What i'm wondering about is what caused it to get like this?
Might be something was wrong in the rom, preventing the phone from charging. So it might just have been empty...
Just my 2 cents.
Hey
I have a problem, my phone keeps rebooting, i have rootet it with the Hero Rom, and yesterday everything worked perfectly, but when i wanted to use the camera i little while ago, the phone restarted. So i thought i would try andd do a phone reset, but when i did, the phone keeps restarting, it shows the HERO logo, and then kind of reboot, the screen goes black and its showing the HERO logo again. It keeps doing that until i take out the battery.
Can any1 help me with this problem? any suggestions will be appreciated, im kind of desperate
Per
omg i having the same problem...did you fix your phone yet?
I'm having this problem too Anyone have a solution? My HTC Magic just keeps showing the "htc" logo and refreshes every ~5 seconds. Tried taking battery and microSD out, no luck. The last app I used was Alarmania.
i wonder if i could download a different rom to a different sdcard an then load it up to my MT3G
Issue Solved!
I just called Rogers and spoke to a very helpful Rogers tech support rep. This is the solution he offered and it worked for me:
1. When the phone is off, press and hold the Home and Power button until the phone comes on.
2. You should see a little icon with an exclamation mark. Now press and hold the Home and Power button again.
3. You should see some instructions and some options. Use the trackball to select Factory reset. This will erase all your phone's data, but if you're in the cloud (ie your contacts are with Google), you should be fine, you'll just have to reconfigure everything (ie mail accounts, keyboard calibration, home screens, app downloads and preferences).
I hope that helps. I just spent a very unhappy 12 hours without my phone.
FYI: I have a non-rooted Rogers HTC Magic with no mods whatsoever. The problem started one random night when I wasn't using my phone, it just got stuck at the HTC logo like it was about to restart, and it just kept refreshing the logo.
dang my phone is rooted
Another 24 hours later and I have the same problem. My phone went into a perpetual restart last night, it just got stuck at the boot screen, so I had to do a factory reset again. Any advice on what I should do? The nightly factory reset is not a solution.
Spoke to someone on another forum with the same problem. This problem seems to happen when you use alarm clock apps. The problem happened to me whenever I was setting an alarm in Alarmania or Alarming. I'll try the phone without an alarm clock app and keep you guys updated.
I've been doing a lot of research on this the past week. I did not have this problem on my sapphire until after I rooted my phone. I've tried 3 different android custom roms. They all seem to work well at the beginning and then the random reboot occurs maybe a day or two into regular use.
Whats seems to be interesting is I've heard a lot of people in the US say it was after the 1.6 update. So I'm going to try using 1.5 again to see what happens.
I haven't even tried the HERO Rom. I had no interest in it I just wanted my phone to run faster. This could be an underlying problem in the android OS. It could also be the crappy HTC quality starting to come out .
this is the first thread that I've seen someone who didnt have a rooted phone with this issue. Could mean it IS a hardware thing.
Anyways I'll keep you guys posted. Its a crappy problem for sure.
try using another sd card,format a new sd to fat 32 ,copy paste the custom rom you want,boot into recovery mode,wipe data,wipe cache and flash the rom,that works for me.

I can confirm this. I have a mytouch 3g, and with 1.5, the camera was working fine. As soon as I got the OTA 1.6 update, the camera would cause random rebooting.
I called T-Mobile USA and had a replacement phone sent to me. I got the phone, didn't install any apps, and waited until I got the OTA 1.6 update again, tested the camera several times, and got no reboots. I flashed dwang's 1.6 ROM and I am still reboot-free.
this prob anyone got fixed??
hi there,
it seems as if i had the same problem. i got an htc magic with android 1.5 (swiss edition), i guess, and after i installed alarmania and had it alarming, it rebooted. instead of showing me the home screen, it just shows a htc brand and makes a sound, and repeats this after maybe 30 seconds.
i tried taking out the battery for some minutes, didnt work. i tried to go to safe mode (pressing menu and power), but it fell into the same circle, as well as when i tried to do a factory reset. i also tried to take out the battery for 20 hours, but same reaction.
does anyone have an idea what to do? ill try to call htc tomorrow.
thx for your help,
aeronaut
ps: please excuse my bad english, but im swiss. this is the only forum where i found similar problems to mine.

This won't help you at this point but there seems to be a trend happening. Could it be Alarmania!? My suggestion would be to not use that app as it seems to cause problems. As per the camera causing the same issue, I'm not sure if there is an update for your phones but I just recieved an update for mine (Rogers HTC Magic) and I also got stuck in a boot loop after installing the first update. I had to use a Mini SDcard adapter that I purchased at my nearest electronics dealer for ei. BestBuy. It came with a class 4 4gb SDcard and it fits on my keychain. Basically you can use this to put a new IMG on your SDcard and then reboot your phone into fastboot. The IMG will automatically install (just follow the instructions). One issue may be finding the new correct IMG that you need but I`m sure you won`t have too much of a problem finding it on an established forum such as XDA. Good luck
thx for your help, but im not able to "restart" my phone normally - as i said, not even the factory reset mode is working. any other idea without flashing the ROM?
flashing only
thank goodness I've made recovery image just before installing Alarmania - Alarms is the same
Alarmed Litle is one that worked but it crash every system start
I was having the same problem, but this, which I found on the "Canadian HTC Magic Gets Sense UI and 911 Fix" threat at androidguys.com
"If you're getting the never-ending boot screen, your phone is -not- bricked. you just haven't finished the second part. you NEED a micro-sd adapter. Turn the phone off (take out the battery), and have a micro-sd card adapter. while the phone is off, take out the sd card and plug it on your comp and delete SAPPIMG.zip from the memory card. Once that's deleted, you need to extract "HTC_Magic_Update_File2.zip" and move "SAPPIMG.zip to the memory card (it's got the same name as the first "SAPPIMG.zip" file, but the second one is supposed to be around 85mb, so don't confuse the two) after that, just repeat steps 3-8 from the first part and that should finish the update on the phone. (this part takes a while, so be patient)"
Cheers
Yes but it is only when "flashing phone was aborted".
It is not for "after instaling Alarmania" on a phone without
Sense UI.
Data WIPE not worked for me, only reflashing phone with my saved flash image (thank gooddess that I've backuped my phone beforehand) done the trick.
well, its funny, i understood the reset page on the htc homepage wrong - i called their hotline, and i was able to reset it. but some days after, i have the same prob. i dunno if it is caused by any other app i have installed during these days (i do not remember as well), but ill try to get a newer rom onto my magic
Okay, I have a weird problem. Everything I open the camera app, the phone completely shuts off. It used to work just fine a few days back. Even if its another app that's has to use the camera, it would do the same thing. I'm not sure if its some of the apps that I been lately?
P.s. I been using my phone heavily and the battery last a long time. 8 hours just using 40% battery life. Battery life expanding to 18 hours.
mhh strange .. i dont have annything simular ...you could try use barcode scaner and see if that its a sofwtare ( app ) problem or driver problem ... you also can try to reflash the phone with seus ... if that dont work eather there might be a hardware fault that cause the crash ...
good luck ( remember there is somthing calt warranty )
I've got this problem at the moment, using an X10i on R1FA014. The handset froze and shutdown when i opened the camera sometimes, so i got it exchanged only to have the same problem with a new, identical version of the phone. I went into my 3 store to see what they suggested, but apparently they suggest it's something to do with an outdated SIM card.
I've tried altering the screen timeout settings, default camera settings and all sorts. The problem seems to occur most when i wake the phone from sleep and then immediately run the camera, but not every time. Really, really frustrating - does anybody else have this?
Couple of things that you should check..
1. Do you have any Task Killers/ managers running that might be screwing with things?
2. Did you install anything immediately prior to the problems starting? sounds like something's interfering with the camera app causing a fatal error..
I had the same problem about 60% of the time I ran the camera it rebooted. I forced an update/repair with the update service which wipes all your apps and settings. Same thing happend. A few emails back and forth with SE and they said there was a fault. I phoned Orange and less than 24hrs later I had a working replacement. I'm much happier now. Barcode scanner and Google Goggles all work nicely.
I'm having the same problem. When i try to open camera app via icon or camera button, phone will crash and restart or sometimes open and give the message 'camera not available'. I contacted SE support and they reckon that to date nobody has reported the issue. I seriously doubt that! They said to try and reset which doesn't work. Now they are ignoring my emails. This is the last SE phone i buy!
Anyone got a fix? I tried what everyone else mentioned but no luck so far.

Hi guys,
I really need your help. I have a I9000T on stock gingerbread 2.3.3 :
PDA:I9000TUBJV6
PHONE: I9000TUBJV6
CSC:I9000TUUBJV6
Buld info:May 7 2011
For the last 2 days my phone has been acting weird. I leave it, for some hours without using it, and when I hit the power button, for a split second I see the home screen, but the lock pattern screen is not there then all of sudden the phone just restarts. It did that 3 times in 2 days. When I look at the battery monitoring appl, it says it is missing data. So I am guessing during this time something happens with the phone. Something crashed with the operating system or maybe an app is causing the phone to crash.
Could it be a hardware problem? I don't really want to return the phone and I figure if it is a software problem, then I can deal with it, but it is a hardware problem then I have to return it. I bought the phone on amazon and I have 3 days left for a return, full refund.
If somebody has an idea on what the problem is, or how to reproduce the problem so that I can figure is out, please please help!
reflash the phone with full stock ROM with stock kernal and see if it happens, you can even try a 2.2.1 ROm and see.
I have already a stock ROM and kernel. All my updates have been trhough Kies so far. I was planning on rooting when I started having the problem.
By the way I just did a factory reset, but somehow pictures and songs were still there. How can this happen?
Dear reader,
I'm writing this thread because the WLAN/WIFI on my Meizu PRO 5 isn't working anymore. I recently visited another country and used and open WIFI while I was there. After using this for a couple of days my WLAN/WIFI suddenly stopped working and kept on searching for networks but not finding any. In the drop down menu on the home screen the WLAN button has developed a tendency to activate on itself while in the WLAN settings the WLAN is disabled and the button doesn't allow me to enable it. A factory reset did nothing to help with this issue and I've powered it off and back on after waiting for a couple of times now. Is there any way to perform a WLAN/WIFI reset or fix this problem?
I was hoping to fix the WLAN/WIFI by resetting it to factory data, when that didn't work I upgrade the firmware to the latest version and updated FlymeOS to the latest version. But unfortunately this all this didn't work. I've included a screenshot of the settings-about phone (These have probably changed recently since I updated the firmware.) Other roms like ResurrectionRemix haven't fixed my problem either.
I've included 2 video's of the behavior my phone is currently showing, they might give you some clue as too what is happening.
youtube [DOT] com/watch?v=yONBHhaOl-8
and
youtube [DOT] com/watch?v=RI_OemPTNmI
In the video above it almost seems that I'm able to enable the WIFI but yet nothing is happening and it's being disabled a few seconds later.
I hope you can help me with the problem, thanks a lot!
Hi, I tried to see the video but it wasn't available anymore. Did you solve your problem?

No unfortunately never managed to fix it. Bought a new phone because a phone without WIFI is quite the hindrance with updates etc.
