HTC HD2 - Few issues - HD2 General

First off, the phone is new, received it yesterday, I'm a UK user, here's the info.
ROM - 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
ROM Date - 01/11/10
OS Version - 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version - 2.5.1921161.0
I think that's everything, lemme know if you need anything else.
So basically my weather widget won't update, says there's a connection error although I'm connected to both Wi-Fi and 3G. Also, I had to reset to factory settings as the phone lagged, then froze completely, leaving me no option but to remove the battery. I then restarted my phone and none of the hard-buttons would work. So I did a factory reset and all working fine. Except my weather update isn't working now. It has updated to my location a few times but now refuses to do anything. I've had a quick look around the forums but nothing has been helpful so far.
If you haven't guessed I'm a fair amateur user so please put things into laymen's terms haha
Thanks

Hi,
Try updating QuickGPS, then pop outside, run GoogleMaps and wait for the GPS to lock on.
This cured mine when I had similar.

Well my location has updated and the weather is updating all of a sudden. However my location is not the Scottish Borders as opposed to Newcastle........

hey there
Your going to have to Install a new ROM on your phone, for the crashing and resets, the original OS (operating system) on the phone is a piece of **** when they built it, so what youll have to do is install a new one basically from one of the developers on this site that has made one. Its fairly simple and easy to do. message me if you have problems

Thanks. I've PM'd you

Backlight comes on then phone freezes, any ideas?

Hi guys, wondered if anyone here can help me out,
My phone is now running the latest orange ROM update:
OPERATOR VERSION: 7.130.1.174
ROM VERSION: 1.30.90 WWE
ROM DATE: 02/24/06
RADIO VERSION: 1.03.00
PROTOCOL VERSION: 42.36.P8
ExtROM VERSION: 1.30.174 WWE
Ive now updated to the new software with PUSH email included. I thought this was going to solve a problem ive been having with my phone.
Ive tried looking on here and no one else seems to be getting the problem.
I have been an SPV over since the classic and I purchased an SPV M5000 around a week ago, it all works fine, except at around 3:30pm - 4:30pm every day, the phones backlight comes on. Apart from yesterday when it happened twice, at 4:30pm and at 10pm!
Everything seems normal until i try to look at some text messages and i cannot see them, they are blank. I cannot load anything else up either, eg programs,I then click on the OK at the top right.
I was curious so i tapped SETTINGS and then MEMORY and the following is displayed:
See attachment SCREEN SHOT 1
The slider wont work, and I cannot do anything, so i switch off the device using the normal power button method, no soft resetting or anything, and then put it on again and i get the following screen
See attachment SCREEN SHOT 2
Now i make sure that there is plenty of program memory free as you can see by the screen shot, there is over 20mb free, so i dont understand why this is happening?
After a soft reset the phones fine. I havent got any extra software loaded, i havent messed around with the ROM settings, the registry of anything, its just been upgraded to the latest orange ROM.
This problem also happened with the previous ROM version so its not because of the latest orange ROM.
Any ideas how to fix it guys? Any help would be really appreciated.
(Apologies for the image size, im at work at we have no decent image editing software installed.)
Many thanks.
Think i fixed the problem
Well i cant believe no one else had the same problem as me, think ive fixed it tho.
I installed the great program called GSPocketMagic and this closes down the programs instead of minimizing them.
This seems to of done the trick. The original problem only happens every now and then, usually when i forget to close the programs down, or i get a few texts followed by phone calls whilst leaving other programs running to.
Just thought id let you all know!
Loving the SPV M5000 now, even sold my O2 XDA Mini S now!

Frozen screen when calling

Hi. I've had these problems with my htc hd2, I've had the sms probs, but that got fixed after talking to you guys And now when people call me, or I call other people it freezes, im able to stop the conversation (which doesn't actually start), reset the machine (red button on the back or pull-out-battery) and then call back... This is really annoying, it has happened twice today, one time yesterday, and one time every day before.. I don't call people or receive alot of calls, but always the first call "****s up". Then its ok for the next call. Doesn't happen to anything else (yet), only calling. It's not that big of a problem, but my bills are keeping to get longer seeing that I have to call back all the time. :/

I think the information you are providing is just a bit to little. you have explained your problem but you are not telling what radio and rom you are using.
in general have you tried a hard reset? or is the problem also there with your sd card in the phone? people have problems with phone freezes because of sd cards. especially the larger cards.
Oh yeah, sorry, I'm abit new to this.
Rom: 1.66.409.1 (NOR)
OS: 5.2.21869
Radio: 2.06.51.07
I always use a SD-card which is the standard 2gb which came with the phone, i could go some days without, and see if it works. Unless you have any other ideas?
Haven't tried a hard reset, doesn't that mean I'd have to upgrade it again?
I suffered from this last week & almost tested the bounciness of the phone I got so annoyed with it. As you'll see from my postcount I am an absolute noob but...I removed a couple of custom taskbars I had installed & bizzarrely everything returne to normal. probably a complete coincidence which I'm sure the experts here will confirm
Clever.. But "Custom taskbars" what did you mean by that, I'm more of a noob than you ;b
Hi, the taskbar is the info' strip display at the top of the phone. The standard one is a "clunky" black & white design. I installed some fancy, coloured ones which I now know should only be installed on HD2s with winmo6.5."whatever number it's at now" installed. Mine is a stock 1.66 ROM with winmo 6.5 device. Like I said the two may be completely unconnected but - touch wood(Ooh err missus), I've not had a call freeze since uninstalling them. I can't believe I've been outnoobed either lol! Best of luck...
Oh, yeah I've got the stock "black 'n white chunky" one :/ so there must be something else
I'll keep an eye on this thread for updates, of course I tempted sodding fate & the bloody thing locked up on me about half an hour after posting my reply. Cover off & soft reset & we're off again but this is soooooooooooo annoying when it does happen. best of luck to you.
Dunno if this is alowed, but Bump? (bring up my post )

what upgrades are you talking about? if you've installed any apps or customisations then you'll have to reinstall those after a hard reset, but otherwise it will just blow away all your info and give you a clean slate to start from with whatever ROM/Radio combo you have. definitely worth doing if you haven't done that yet.
otherwise maybe try upgrading the radio? or another ROM if that doesn't work...

Try flashing to one of the latest Radios.
I had this problem when I was on a very old Radio 2.04 with the latest custom Roms.
Well, I have the latest rom, and thats the only rom I can get :S and isn't the radio upgraded with the rom ? if not, where do I upgrade the radio ? (radio: 2.06.51.07)
radios are in one of the stickies in the ROM forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
if you want info on how to flash it then read thru the relevant stickies
Finally understood and downloaded/flashed a new radio (2.08), after hours of reading and decrypting "nerd language" (no offence of course). We'll see if it helped tomorrow, if I have no probs tomorrow it *might* have been fixed!
TMOUS user here. Have had the HD2 for a total of 5 days. Making phone calls, it freezes repeatedly. I will receive a phone call(feel it vibrate, try to answer, and it just locks. Can still hit the Home button and hit HD2SoftReset, but this really sucks.
R:2.08.50.08?2
G 15.34.50.07U
D 2.10.82076 8G
Hopefully that's the radio info you need. It is a stock TMOUS rom. Installed a handful of Apps, and loaded up some music on my microSD card. Any suggestions?

Has anyone with USA T-Mobile_Leo HD2 users get an System update today?

Has anyone with a USA T-Mobile_Leo HD2 users get an System update today?
it happened at 12:05pm Pacific time.
I was in a middle of a call and it stopped, and when I looked at screen it said "Downloading System R2.0850082 G15 ??" and the rest I could not get was too fast for me to be able to write down? I was chasing for a pen and paper before the screen changed but I got as much as I could?
I think I am going to keep my camera handy for next time? This is the second update I received in the past few days? I wish I had an option for downloading now or later? seems rude! I was after all in a middle of a call!
But after it finished it restarted it self to the orange windows boot screen and stayed there for about 5 minutes and then started loading HTC Sense UI of which took a little longer than usual. after that it was operating as usual, I went to Software info tab, the following was listed;
US T-Mobile_Leo HD2 O.S version 5.2.32441 (32441.5.0.61)
Manila version 2.5.20121412.1 ROM version 2.10.531.1 (82076) ROM Date 02/23/10
Radio version 2.08.50.08_2 Protocol version 15.34.50.07U
I think that's the same as what was there before today's update?
Is there any way to get more detailed log of all the updates or changes since the first turn on of the device? Maybe there is a way of printing or coping the registry and other important info?
I live in Las Vegas anyone else here or anywhere else in the USA get an up date?
I didn't get any update. I bought my phone on release date.
my os:5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
manila: same
rom date:2/22/10
rest is the same
do you have any other programs it could be?
microsoft have never implemented the updates feature. you would be the first person ever to get a windows mobile update for any version of winmo.
TMOUS Las Vegas here.
No update.
Do you have the same revision as his? mine is different.
I'm from NY, I called T-mobile regarding my Internet on the phone yesterday night..It was kinda slow. And the agent I was talking did a update on my phone..She told me to take the battery off while she send the update and after like 10min my internet was 5x better. And I'm using Kumar's 1.5 Custom Rom
Btw my OS Version is 5.2.23554 (23554.5.5.0)...Mine is lower than urs :S
Does this mean anything ? Like my phone is outdated or something ? Sorry for the noobness
The OS version on mine is 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87). Rom date 02/22/10. Weird.
Everything else is the same as the OP
Actually, that's not too unusual... considering the T-Mobile USA model has the option within the software for OTA updates to be provided via wireless carriers. However, the fact that it's only specific to ONE person... is very strange.
Part of the reason for a potential update to his handset could have been "problem" related. As in, the system detected something "out of the ordinary" and then prompted him for some form of a system update.
Then again, that would suggest that the Windows Mobile OS is so advanced that it literally adapted like a neurological organism. Which would be crazy... RIGHT?
Well I can't tell you if the update is from Microsoft? I just assume all updates come from T-Mobile or HTC? That's why I am here trying to find out what it is? also when I had an update from T-Mobile for my Shadow1 phone it would prompt me to continue? and the US HD2 Leo rudely did what it wanted?, as I explained before, I was in a middle of a call when the call dropped out? and made a sound? and when I looked at screen, I could see part of the call screen on top right but the rest of it was dark grey background with white letters/text saying the following;
"Downloading System R2.0850082 G15 ??" and some other stuff as well but the screen changed after that so I can't say anything more specific?
I got this phone on the 29th of March 2010, and it is "Stock" with the exception of "BattClock", "Trapster", "Bing" and "Windows Live" that I downloaded from the phone.
I called Tmobile on the 7th of April because I was not able to make calls or connect to the Internet? , I could actually look at the screen and watch it change from 3G to Edge to no signal in a matter of minutes?, it would happen 4 to 5 times an hour, and then it would stop for a couple of hours then it would star all over again, but I also noticed the same thing happen on my Nokia with the Antenna Bars going from 4 bars to 0 none? as well as my wife's Samsung phone? so I attributed that problem to a cell tower? I got a Trouble ticket from tech support, one for each phone assuming the more trouble ticket for the same condition the faster it might be fixed? so it could be the updates are for that? don't know? but my Nokia nor my wife's Samsung phone have not restarted but they are different O.S. they are Symbian?, but my US HD2 has had two updates so far?
and I am looking for a way of "Documenting" any changes, mods or updates?
As far Today's update one thing I have noticed is that I have 4 bars and 3G is solid!, it does not matter if I go outside or anywhere on the property?, before this it would vary all over the place depending where I was moving or not moving? there is a definite difference from yesterday, a better difference for sure!

I noticed that xzero101 has a Kumar's 1.5 Custom Rom and I have a Stock ROM if these updates are from Tmobile for Tech Trouble Ticket Fix could it be if you have a custom ROM it might not allow you to get Tmobile Fixes?, I am speculating? I have no idea? I am hoping someone here with advance knowledge of these Rom's will know if that makes a difference?
Why did the OS build version jump so much? I'm on stock tmous ROM and didn't see anything new.
OH, maybe I need to be on the T-Mobile network? -- although PAYG doesn't have data support.
3G speed Test after update?

strange...

that is weird, I noticed mine rebooted in Phoenix today for no apparant reason. Thought it just crashed but I wasnt paying close attention.
Maybe t-mobile is doing a test update to see if they can do it. remember windows mobile still not dead so i wouldn't be surprise
No update here in Denver.
Nothing here, I wish though...

A Few Problems - Texts, Vibration, Other Stuff

Hi all, I've had my HTC HD2 since about Jan/Feb this year. When I first got it, I loved it! However, the past few months I have hated it, yet managed to "bear with it".
For example, it takes an age to load a text message once I have 15-20+ texts from a contact. Once it's loaded it then takes an age to reply. So, for the past 3 months or so, I read the text, come out of it, compose new text, add the recipient, add the message etc and send. Not a major problem, but rather just be able to hit reply, and ta-da, start composing a reply.
Another problem, I'm unable to send picture messages! I managed to send a few when I first got it, but now I can't send or recieve them! Spoke to my mobile provider (Virgin Mobile) a few months ago, went through all the settings, and everything was set up correctly!
Today, the final straw, the vibration has stopped! Turned it off and back on, checked settings etc, nothing.
On top of that, I must get an error report almost daily! Sometimes I'll get 2 or 3 in a row! It's getting so bad, I daren't install any apps etc. At the moment, all it's used for is texting, talking, and Opera. Not exactly using it's full potential! Battery life is also dire, but that another issue....
Anyway, just got off the phone from Virgin Mobile, and they believe the slow texting is a software issue, and should contact HTC direct. They also thing the vibration may be related! (somehow I don't think so).
They suggested a possible software update. How do I do this? Where do I download it from etc? TBH, they were pretty useless and offered no help what-so-ever.
So, I'm now asking you guys. Please help me! Really thought I would love this phone, and the one my mate has (a few years old now), was what persuaded me to get one as I loved his. Yet since owning one, it's been nothing but a ball-ache, and just a paperweight TBH!
TIA
Mat
Country?
ROM version?
Radio Version?
you can check them by sliding all the way to the end and scroll down to about phone and software version?
The txt messaging thing is a big problem, screw Virgin they got no clue, the vibration could be software ya never no, if you're on sock (ie what came when you bought the phone) I would suggest a custom ROM so much better performance wise
I', on virgin in the UK there tech team are a freaking joke
Put a decent ROM on your phone and most of the issues will disappear. Especially the SMS one, which pee'd me off to no end when I was running stock ROM.
I'll get the info in a min. Everything is standard from when I first got it!

Live in Tapton, work in Brampton mate. You?
Live in North Wingfield, work in Sheffield....
So, how do I put a new ROM on my phone? Where do I get it from etc? Will I lose anything?
Look in the HD2 ROM Development forum, there's loads and loads of ROMS. Read this first though if you've never flashed a ROM before or could do a bit of damage. It's easy as pie though once you get your head round it.
cheers fella.... gonna have a read of that now
sorry for sounding dumb, but where do I download a ROM from? I have the excel sheet from that link, and I was thinking of this ROM:
ROM Link: [WWE] LEON v3.0 - OUT!! by sharky IIRC
when I click the link in his sig, it just takes me her

Hi.
for LEON ROM, go down on that thread and look at post #4

Issues with my HD2 (Optus Australia - Italian Fone)

Been having some problems with my HD2 as of late. If this is the wrong forum to post, please point me elsewhere.
Purchased original one via Mobicity - turned out it was a HK version. I dropped it and smashed the screen, so got a replacement one (purchased thru Mobicity again) under my insurance.
Not sure the origins of the second fone though. When it arrived, it was in Italian. Had to send it back to M/City to reflash it with (what I believe to be ) a WWE version.
Details on startup screen:
R 2.00.51.07
G 15.30.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
Have left the phone as-is after it was reflashed with an English ROM and returned to me. Has worked perfectly for about 8 months. Recent issues only occurring last 2 months or so.
Issues having lately:
* Randomly reboots itself - completely randomly. Sometimes, while not even touching the phone, sometimes while typing a text or browsing the net.
* Battery usage lately has been horrendous. Hard to pin an exact figure on it, but it's MUCH MUCH worse than usual, over the last 2 months.
* CONSTANTLY dropping signal & Data connection. I can watch the data/signal symbols switch from nothing, to G, to 3G, to H, and back again within the space of seconds. On occasions, when the data-conn drops out (but fone signal remains), I go into connection settings and find the Data Settings slider is switched off! I must manually go and turn it on again... which sometimes works, and sometimes fails to stay on.
I HAVE manually gone into the settings and told it to update to the latest data settings from my provider (Optus) and it always responds that I already have the latest settings.
Often, the only way to get data connection back is to manually reboot the whole fone.
Sometimes, while browsing a simple website on the fone, it will drop connection. I live in Brisbane. Optus advises Brisbane has absolute FULL coverage, until you start going outskirts. I can be in the city centre gardens (no big buildings to block signals) and still not achieve full "H" or even "3G" speeds... most times only achieving simple "G" speeds.
This is obviously not right I HAVE contacted Optus about this, and they suggest it is an issue with the phone, as they insist they have full coverage brisbane-wide.
I have also noticed, in the last 2-weeks or so, that Cookies Home Tab is not working correctly all the time.
On occasions - but not ALL the time - on my home-page CHT displays appointments that are already passed days or even weeks ago.
Sometimes, when adding a new appointment (either manually in the fone, or via the MyPhone website and synching), it will not display at all in CHT.
I know there is a new version of CHT, but some of the technical info on the website sounds like there can be issues with not correctly un- or re- installing it.
I've still got a couple of months left for my manufacturer warranty.... I'm not keen on reflashing with un-official ROMS until after that period has elapsed... then i'm keen to go for it. If that is my only option, then I will consider, but would prefer a "genuine" fix first.
Can anyone please offer some suggestions, hints, experiences ? I haven't been on the forums for months, and now the HD2 thread is some 10-episodes of 30+ pages, so I have no hope in hell of reading thru all that hoping to find an answer.
Suggestions please for possible reasons, or fixes, or a different WWE English ROM to flash to ?
Note also: My serial number does not appear to be Asian in origin. I have tried to d/l the Asia Pacific, the Worldwide, and the HK latest ROMS... but it fails upon serial number. I have not tried, but I assume my fone is Italian model, hence any ROM that I flash must be d/loadable from another source, not the HTC website.
Please also note: I'm not - at this point - interested in running Android, so (without wanting to sound ungrateful) if any help could avoid suggestions of that nature please.
Thanx in advance for any assistance.

D 1.66.76641
Have left the phone as-is after it was reflashed with an English ROM and returned to me. Has worked perfectly for about 8 months. Recent issues only occurring last 2 months or so.
Issues having lately:
* Randomly reboots itself - completely randomly. Sometimes, while not even touching the phone, sometimes while typing a text or browsing the net.
* Battery usage lately has been horrendous. Hard to pin an exact figure on it, but it's MUCH MUCH worse than usual, over the last 2 months.
* CONSTANTLY dropping signal & Data connection. I can watch the data/signal symbols switch from nothing, to G, to 3G, to H, and back again within the space of seconds. On occasions, when the data-conn drops out (but fone signal remains), I go into connection settings and find the Data Settings slider is switched off! I must manually go and turn it on again... which sometimes works, and sometimes fails to stay on.
I HAVE manually gone into the settings and told it to update to the latest data settings from my provider (Optus) and it always responds that I already have the latest settings.
Often, the only way to get data connection back is to manually reboot the whole fone.
Sometimes, while browsing a simple website on the fone, it will drop connection. I live in Brisbane. Optus advises Brisbane has absolute FULL coverage, until you start going outskirts. I can be in the city centre gardens (no big buildings to block signals) and still not achieve full "H" or even "3G" speeds... most times only achieving simple "G" speeds.
This is obviously not right I HAVE contacted Optus about this, and they suggest it is an issue with the phone, as they insist they have full coverage brisbane-wide.
I have also noticed, in the last 2-weeks or so, that Cookies Home Tab is not working correctly all the time.
On occasions - but not ALL the time - on my home-page CHT displays appointments that are already passed days or even weeks ago.
Sometimes, when adding a new appointment (either manually in the fone, or via the MyPhone website and synching), it will not display at all in CHT.
I know there is a new version of CHT, but some of the technical info on the website sounds like there can be issues with not correctly un- or re- installing it.
I've still got a couple of months left for my manufacturer warranty.... I'm not keen on reflashing with un-official ROMS until after that period has elapsed... then i'm keen to go for it. If that is my only option, then I will consider, but would prefer a "genuine" fix first.
Can anyone please offer some suggestions, hints, experiences ? I haven't been on the forums for months, and now the HD2 thread is some 10-episodes of 30+ pages, so I have no hope in hell of reading thru all that hoping to find an answer.
Suggestions please for possible reasons, or fixes, or a different WWE English ROM to flash to ?
Note also: My serial number does not appear to be Asian in origin. I have tried to d/l the Asia Pacific, the Worldwide, and the HK latest ROMS... but it fails upon serial number. I have not tried, but I assume my fone is Italian model, hence any ROM that I flash must be d/loadable from another source, not the HTC website.
Please also note: I'm not - at this point - interested in running Android, so (without wanting to sound ungrateful) if any help could avoid suggestions of that nature please.
Thanx in advance for any assistance.

Hi, I to have an HD2 in Oz from Mobicity - though never got an Italian version. To be honest, the only time I had an issues like those you are talking about was when I flashed new roms WITHOUT 'Task 29' first. Look it up. It kind of "cleans up" your phone inbetween cooked roms. But as you have only had Official roms on your phone, this might not be the issue.
To be honest, I don't think you Task 29 anyway until you put HSPL on your phone (this allows you to put cooked Roms on), but as soon as you do this, you void your warranty. Now you can take HSPL off before you send it back, but if your phone was to die BEFORE you took it off and then you sent it back, you'd be ****ed if they managed to power it up.
As you're under warranty, I'd send it back to be fixed and explain the fact that they had another rom on when you first got it.
Ra-ey
ps. You may want to quickly check online to make sure you are running the most uptodate Rom for your phone on the HTC website.
Hi,
Did u try hard-reseting your phone by pressing the volume up and down and the power button at the same time. Usually fixes many issues relating to yours. It might have been caused by a programs problem which corrupted main system files.

Thanx guys for responses.

Not yet, no..... will go through that process tonight. Was just worried that hard-setting it MAY end up back with the Italian settings (on the off-chance it still has an Italian ROM, but has just been set to display in English) ???
Can anyone identify the ROM details in my original post, as being WWE (I assume this means World Wide English?)
I cannot find anywhere that lists if those numbers mean WWE or English ?
Further to this... i just found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791436
This is almost exactly what my phone is doing too, so I suspect it may be the same cause.
One thing I forgot to mention in my original post here, is that sometimes, after the fone reboots itself, it fails to boot up again and all the handset buttons fail to respond. The little red reset button does not work either.
Doesn't happen EVERY time, but occasionally, the only way to resurrect the phone is to remove the battery for 30 mins or so, then reinstall and try again.
Obviously a very real issue - and it seems a known one - perhaps time to return for warranty fix or replacement.
Thanx all for responses in this thread - I will monitor the other thread now for further news.
when you hard-reset it reverts it back to the last rom you had, if it was WWE then it would reload that.
Remember when someone load's another rom on your phone it complete (kinda) erases the old rom and replaces it so there would be nothing that would revert it to the italy ROM.
R 2.00.51.07 (Radio Version)
G 15.30.50.07U (Protocol version)
D 1.66.76641 (ROM Version) could be anything
Usually the Italy ROM only has one language in the rom so my guess would be it has the WWE, by looking at the numbers above no-one would be able to tell you what you what rom it is.
Hope this helps

Thankyou mate.... that makes it a lot clearer
Will try the hard-reset method tonite and-reinstall only the apps (if it ok to use that term, for WM programs !!!) that I need.
Have also been given a link to the latest WWE ROM to flash, from Mobicity, so will hard-reset, to clear any crap, then re-flash with the new ROM.
Just curious... I know I should remove the memory card when resetting/reflashing (i'm not doing dual-boot with Android), but should I also remove the SIM card too? Eg: Get the background system installed and running, then power-off, insert SIM, power-on to get the network specifics up and running ???
My Guess
I have a Telstra HD2, running the latest Telstra ROM and CHT 1.8.5. The phone reboots regularly of its own accord. Seems to be related to overheating as the base of the phone is quite hot when it reboots. If the phone get really hot, it will not re-start (stays at white screen). Have had to put the phone in the fridge to get it to work.
I don't know if this is related but I have a cradle that I use to connect my HD2 to my work PC. If the HD2 is running SenseUI, after the HD2 was been in the cradle for a while, the HD2 re-starts. This does not happen if I disable SenseUI. It seems that the restart only occurs after the battery reaches 100%.
The restarting occurs with CHT 2.0 beta as well.
When I get a chance, I'll do a hard reset and see if that fixes the problem.
Cheers
Hmmmm....... seems to be a recurring issue with some of the "newer" phones. My original phone - before I dropped it and smashed the screen - never had any of the issues I'm currently experiencing
I've read somewhere on here that the rebooting issue is suspected to be from early-production snapdragon processors..... which SHOULD be an immediate warranty claim, in my opinion.
I will try the hard-reset, and then a fresh Official ROM install, to see if it solves it.
