okay I've tried 4 or five different builds, 4 different radios, five different ROMs and still I keep getting random reboots on my HD2 when running Android. I have even tried formatting the three diiferent SD cards I have. I don't get SoD's and my phone is not freezing as others have reported, it will just reboot, occassionally getting stuck on the splash screen forcing me to rebot again. can anyone help with this?
If you've been resetting the phone by pulling the battery you may have inadvertently bent one of the contact pins causing an intermittent short. I did this and got a continuous reboot cycle, it would get into booting up then reboot. After straightening the pins all is good.
that was actually one of the first things i checked, but the pins are fine. it only reboots after running something that seems to be taxing like zooming in and out in maps or loading webpages
Has anybody else had a similar problem with android
this was happening to me and i figured out that it was the temperature...anytime the battery temp went over 40c, the phone would restart...even in WinMo

My G1 has recently started playing up. The problems first started with cyanogen 4.1.9999 - it would loose signal, but a reboot sorted this out and it may only happen once every two or three days if that. It was an unstable ROM, no biggy.
But then one day, after rebooting, it got stuck at the android screen then just turned itself off. This repeated several times before it just wouldn't turn on. I left it for a while and tried again later, it turns on, boots but no signal. Rebooting did nothing.
I reflashed (without wiping) cyanogen 4.1.999. and everything seems okay. But then the phone started crashing and rebooting rather a lot, and rather unpredictably. So I wiped, flashed the ADP rom and then cyanogen 4.2.1 rom. This process was a massive brainache - plugging in the usb cable managed to crash the phone within 2-5 min guaranteed, it automatically rebooted.
So here I am. Cyanogen 4.2.1 - after a complete sdcard format, wipe, ext3 repair and flash. The problems still persist! But it's temperamental, a lot of the time I loose signal still, it often reboots itself and hates anything plugged in the usb when it's turned on - making charging the thing awkward.
I used the log collector app to get these logs

At some point during those logs, the signal is lost. The log collector doesn't seem to retrieve a very long backlist, these were taken minutes apart but don't overlap, so I haven't caught a crash. I'm not sure if there are better ways to view logs/debug?
But it's all very temperamental. Occasionally it boots up and life is fine. But more often than not it will loose signal and reboot itself somewhere along the line.
Has anyone come across anything like this before? When it looses reception if I manually try an connect to a network it will say
"This SIM does not allow a connection to that network"

I've read that could perhaps be a problem with the sim... but the sim wouldn't cause reboots would it?
Any advise would be great. I bought the G1 off ebay just under a year ago, so no warranty.
I'm suffering from the freezing problem and even though I have tried several custom and official ROMS, the problem still persists.
After reading a lot of threads, I started experimenting myself with T-mobile HD2.
What I found is that when I soft reset my device although I have disabled HTC Sense the freeze that occurs in the splash screen never appears again (up to now I have tried over 15 times, without any freezes!!!!)
Something else I noticed, is that when the freeze occurs while I am in normal operation (HTC Sense is active and I'm running an application) some times I have and some I do not have the boot up freeze. Sometimes it refuses to start and I have to take out the battery several times before it starts up again. If together with the battery I take out the SIM card too, I have no boot up freeze (I didn't have the chance to check it many times).
Please, do your own tests too, and write down your observations.
Most of the time if you get a startup freeze it's because of something on your SD card, so I'm not quite sure why yours is intermittent like that...but, it IS WinMo afterall.
Before I figure out about Sense, I had freezes even without SD card.

Good morning all. I have a small amount of knowledge about this device (I’ve read a fair bit) but would still classify myself as a novice user. I am able to flash my device and have had android running for a while now. I have a few issues, and just want confirmation that I’m not doing anything stupidly wrong.
Firstly, I have flashed to a number of winmo roms, all with varying degrees of usability. I found them to be slow compared to android. All my rom including the last two roms, chuckyrom tabtastic and chuckydroid, have given me a few issues of varying degrees. They freeze a lot and require a soft reset or to pull the battery. Sometimes, if I try and restart straight away, the red writing on the first screen doesn't come up and the phone vibrates 4 or 5 times. Further to this, they may restart midway through booting up, or if I am transferring a large amount of data or using my phone as a wireless hotspot the phone also resets after a while. I have noticed the phone gets quite warm during this. Best results for a reboot come after pulling the battery and leaving it for 15-20 minutes.
Secondly, I have used a number of different android builds (all HTC based) and whilst generally the phone does not freeze when it is in idle mode, it freezes up to 15-20 times a day when using applications such as facebook, internet explorer, music etc. Is this normal?? I don't get any force close notifications. When people say it is “relatively stable” what does this actually mean – no freezing, 5 freezes a day, 50 freezes a day?? The device also freezes when syncing all data. Sometimes when I am in a call, if a change occurs on the device (text message or other notification comes in, even when on the move which I’m guessing may be location changes in the system) the phone freezes and emits a “bzzzzzzzz”ing noise (well, I don't know how well the word “bzzzzzz” conveys what I’m trying to say, but you may get the picture). All this in turn leads to me needing to re-boot, which then brings into play the issues of rebooting above.
The other day, I noted that the micro-usb cable had what appeared to be small burn marks on it, and the contacts inside the micro-usb cable were a bit corroded/eroded. I do remember a few weeks ago where my phone froze in the middle of the night whilst on charge and the phone became quite hot, possibly resulting in the damage to the cable. Yesterday, I got a new cable and woke up this morning with the phone quite warm again (battery temp was at 39 degrees). This was all whilst using android.
I have tried a number of different winmo roms and android builds, flashed radio, task29, different micro sd cards, formatted sd card etc. I am thinking of reflashing back ot the original rom and if I still have the same issues then sending away to get it fixed. Problem with this is that Telstra here in Australia claim it will be a month and that no replacement phone will be given to me in the meantime. I think I am paying about $160 a month at the moment – surely this is a bit slack not to give me a replacement phone in the meantime? Can anyone share their experiences with Telstra and/or tips when dealing with them?
Any help with the above would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
I've had my Note 4 for over a year now, and just the other day it started becoming unusable. I had noticed some minor lags here and there, and apps would sometimes freeze and force close. I then decided to disable some built in apps like Facebook. The phone was running much faster for a couple of days, and then suddenly went to hell. It started lagging very badly, freezing up to the point I'd have to pull the battery. It will often randomly reboot, and occasionally boot loops a few times before successfully rebooting. I've tried everything I can think of so far, I enabled the apps I originally disabled, wiped the cache partition, did multiple factory resets, and today got a brand new battery. None of these things seem to work. It will run fine for a few minutes if it's been off a while, but then starts lagging pretty quickly. I also had pulled the SD card before, but didn't notice any difference there. However, I did just notice that it seems to run completely fine without the SIM card in it. I have my SIM in my old S4 right now, and I popped it back in the Note thinking the battery fixed it, but it started freezing up again. I powered down the phone, pulled the SIM card, and powered it back up. I've been loading all of my apps on the Note no problem now over wifi (no problems so far). The SIM and SD cards are in my S4 and that runs completely fine. Is it possible that the SIM is causing an issue in only the Note? I'm out of ideas at this point and hoping that someone has some suggestions. Thanks!
