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
I have a US streak, un-modified, still locked and un-rooted.
Os 1.6, build 6601.
I was dragging an icon from my top-list to my home screen (screen # 5) when it happened.
My Streak appears to be caught in a repeating loop. The error code that is reoccurring is stating "the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly, please try again."
This error message pops up 10 seconds after I close it, every time. It only happens when I am on my home screen (so far), and it is crippling my phone. : /
I am unable to move through my home screens, click on any icons, or use any features at all when the home screens are visible. If I quickly select an application from the top-list before the message pops up, I am able to use that application, but only after closing the error message that faithfully pops up every 10 seconds after closing the previous one.
This has been occuring since around midnight yesterday, and doesn't look to stop on it's own anytime soon.
I managed to uninstall the application that I was creating a shortcut to when this nightmare began, in hopes of it ending this (to no prevail). Also I would like to uninstall the pre-installed dell rss feed reader, since there were two of those widgets on the screen I was creating the shortcut on. But I don't seem to have the ability to do so.
I'm in desperate need of help, and any and all suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Awaiting your responses,
Thanks,
Steven
Update - After a reboot (probably the fifth one) I'm unable to advance past the Dell Logo during the boot process and into the OS at all.
Removing the battery and rebooting again gave the same results.
Removing the battery and holding down the power button for 10 seconds before powering back up allowed me access back into the OS, but the repeating error remains.
Again, Awaiting any responses,
Thanks,
Steven
After an hour or so of reading, learning what the .acore process manages, and comparing other peoples problems to that of my own. I attempted countless times to "race against the error" as it were, and quickly remove the particular home screen I was on when this whole fiasco started, only to realize that my efforts are in vain.
No matter how fast I held the home button, or pushed the carrier button to bring up the home screen management window, the error pops up before I can click the little X and confirm removal of the screen. I've also tried other suggestions, including those that involved my contacts and their syncing to my G account.
I've decided to do a factory reset, the tedious process of reinstalling applications and re organizing home screens / widgets, syncing bookmarks, etc... wouldn't even of taken as long as I've spent tinkering with it all ready. Although, I'm all the wiser for it now.
Regardless, I would still be interested in any suggestions anyone might of had for this particular problem. Maybe someone else will benefit from them, whereas I was too impatient to.
Thanks again,
Steven
Granted I'm fairly new to android I've never heard of an issue like this, I would've recommended to boot into safe mode to see if some process starting at boot was causing this.
Also I'd recommend titanium backup just so next time you do have to factory reset you have a backup of everything.
Sucks that happened

Hey Peoples
Ive got android 2.2 (updated from telco) and i've noticed occasionaly the phone dialer will crash.
Someones it will not answer a call when I try slide my finger over answer (or hangup if i want to not answer).
Also after a call it doesnt always want to hang up when i press the hang up button, and the call stays connected.
The above problems are quite random but somewhat anoying. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problems ? And does anyone know of any other dialer software I should try using ?
Thanks heaps
Justin
I am having the same random problem. Randomly sms apps (the built in one and, i.e., handcent, stop working. Any suggestion or tip?
Factory reset would be my first step .
jje
Uf! I do not have such severe problems as justin911 (OP).
But I do get dialer crashes and after that the Dialer app is draining my battery thru partial wake.
Once it crashed when I was in contacts and searching for somebody, other times I got called by someone and after 2-3 sec of talk time my phone automatically hung up the call (I called him back 5 times, same thing happened, then I just rebooted the phone and it worked).
For me to get the dialer back and working normally I have to reboot the phone.
This problem occurs randomly and it started doing this in v2.2.1 (Doc's XWJS3+speedmod kernel), but thankfully up until now it only occured 3 times.
Hi!
I finally found a solution to phone dialer crashes (I did not have a dialer crash for over a week now).
According to marcedli and his post the solution is the "Memo.apk" file that needs to be in "/system/app" (everyone should have it, because it is Samsungs own app).
I did not have it because I flashed my own rom from Doc's Kitchen and I do not use it, but apperantly it is needed by the phone app.
I copied "Memo.apk" into "/system/app" folder, rebooted my phone and everything works now and I never had a dialer crash that it would then force my phone to stay awake.
If anyone uses the XWJS5 FW, here is the link to CWM updatable version for "Memo.apk" (or just extract the file and copy it using Root Explorer):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0A36K4P3
@justin911 (OP):
It is also possible that in your telco's ROM, "Memo.apk" file (it is "Memo" app in the app drawer) is not included, if it is included it is also possible that some other file was not included into the ROM that is needed by the dialer app or some telco's app is messing with the dialer app, not sure.
The solution would be that you flash Darky's ROM or use Doc's ROM Kitchen.
I hope I helped you or at least guided you on a right track!
After two weeks I got the partial wake of Dialer again.
It woke up my phone for 3h and drained my battery.
There is obviously something else going on for these Dialer crashes.
i have the same prob.
i just do a factory reset and dialer crash prob disappear.
I'm having similar problems.
Sometimes, my phone just won't call anyone. When I call a number, there's just a long almost silent noise - and then it just hangs up without any error message. Almost seems like it doesn't get a "line free" signal.
Reboot fixes it, but it annoys the hell out of me.
Flashed to JPY via spoofed Kies...
Anyone got an idea what this could be? :/
It's me again!
And this time I'm for 100% sure how to fix the partial wake usage on "Dialer"!
"Phone/Dialer" drains your battery when you're making a phone call thru the dialer/call log/favorites and then when you finish your call you just push the "power" button to end the call and/or lock & turn off display (and you do NOT wait for the phone app to go back to home screen or you do NOT press the "back" button). The phone app is now still working in the background thinking you're still on the phone and it's waking your phone up.
To "fix" this when ending a call thru Phone/Dialer always press the "back" button or make sure that you're in your "home screen" and not in the phone app (dialer/call log/favorites).
And I don't know if the Phone/Dialer is still running if you press the "home" button instead of the "back" button.
And I don't know if "Memo.apk" fix helped.
And I'm sorry, but I don't know any other solutions for your Phone/Dialer problems.
i had this problems on 2.2 which made me go for a change....now i just flashed 2.3.3 ill test it out for the week hoping to get rid of that problem
I can't remember the exact error message but my phone will randomly restart and produce a SIM card error, prompting me to restart again. Things go back to normal after the 2nd reboot - this tends to happen every day.
I've searched all IceColdInsomnia - 7.0 AOKP forums and these Q & A forums as well to no avail :-( Anybody have experience with this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

I've seen this error before. It happens totally randomly. I've even gotten it with no reboot, all that happened was my launcher force closed. I would press OK to restart the phone and same thing - it would reboot fine. Then I just started pressing the back button to remove the error box instead of rebooting. I would be connected to the network so my SIM was fine.
I'm guessing something is triggering a faulty error message. Every time I had it there didn't appear to be an error but the dialog box appears anyway. I've since switched ROMs but if you can get a logcat when it happens (search XDA on how to do that) and pass it along to blackwing182 he might be able to figure it out.
It reminds me of when you suddenly kill the power on your PC and Windows tells you "Windows was shut down unexpectedly, now I need to spend 35 minutes checking for errors!" even though everything is fine
Hello everyone. long time lurker first time poster,
I've had my V20 since the beginning of July, I rooted it the first week. It had been running great (stock rom) until the last 2 weeks. The first thing that i noticed was that my Google Chrome and Play store were missing from my home screen. I checked the app drawer, nothing, then went to the application manager, still could not be found. Did some quick research and found nothing helpful. I eventually went through a "battery saving" app like greenify or wakelock (I can't remember) and found the application data. I was thankfully able to go to the play store through said app and open them, which placed them back into view in my app drawer. This was a strange occurrence but brushed it off as nothing.
Fast forward to this week and more issues are arising. More apps are randomly vanishing, I only noticed because one particular app I use to disable annoying services was gone and the stock settings came back. After getting that back to block the services my phone has become very laggy. still functioning just slow at times. I also get a random vibration with no notification or prompt showing on screen. This only happens when the phone is awake. It is not a full vibration just a quick buzz, similar to a single key press with haptic feedback turned on. This happens while nothing is visably taking place on screen and no input from me. I have checked all settings I can think of, but still am stumped. The last issue is with my mobile connectivity, at random times my 4G will have no connection. I thought it was just bad reception because wifi was working fine. I confirmed it is just 4g because while i was in a small area with blocked signal it dropped to 3g and worked fine, but as soon as it switched back to 4g boom no connection. I have tried rebooting several times when these issues occurred, toggled many settings and even uninstalled several apps I thought could cause problems. I am having no luck and cannot find any common problems through my research.
TL;DR
- rooted v20 running stock rom
-random apps being removed but still installed
-4G connection issues
-random <100ms vibration
-times of bad lag
short of flashing back to original any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
Factory reset to start.
Pull battery. Replace.
Hold vol down.
Press power.
HOLD powerbutton.
When LG logo shows, let go of powerbutton 1x.
ONLY 1X needed.
Re depress power, stat.
Select yes 2x.
Boots into TWRP. Factory reset.
If aboce doesnt work wipe all but external sd
Reinstall preferred ROM.
profit?
