[Q] Nexus One reboot when using 3g

hello guys I have a nexus with one gingerbread 2.3.4 and when I use the 3G network after 2-3 minutes the phone restarts. with this bug I can not use Internet
any ideas? Thanks!

Yes. Me to.

What ROM and/or kernel combo you guys using?

I have the stock rom ota gingerbread 2.3.4, nothing changed, full stock. I recently tried miui 1.5.20 the problem is the same. may be a hardware problem?

Does the phone get hot to the touch on the back? Does the phone still reboot if you turn off 3g data and you go exclusivly Wifi?
Had the same issue with my old Nexus 1. Called HTC support and they immediately said it was a defective board. RMA'd and got refurb, but at least it does not reboot when I use 3g.
Good luck.

thanks jhsiao36, think if I update the radio version 5.12.00.08 can change something or brought it in for service?

I didn't help for me. I tried the 5.12.00.08 radio and it suffered from the same 3g reboots. But when I disabled 3g and used Wifi, never suffered from reboots.
If the phone is still under warranty, definitely encourage you to call them. HTC's customer and tech support is the best I've ever seen. They replaced it no questions asked, even though my phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked.

+1 They are awesome to deal with. It really makes me sad that they are starting to lock down their phones, because I won't buy a phone if I can't run custom ROMs on it.
But with the radio, I highly doubt flashing to 5.12 would help. Google released the 5.08 radio with the OTA update to Gingerbread. If 5.12 was any better, I'm sure they would've included it. There had to have been a reason they stuck with 5.08.
If you aren't afraid of losing anything, or already made backups, you could try the passimg method of giving you a completely stock install. See if the problem occurs with that as well. This would rule out software vs hardware.

No one can really solve it?

I really don't think it can be resolve without sending it back to HTC for a replace/repair. As I said in my previous posts, I've tried 3 different ROMs - stock, cyanogenmod 6 and 7 - all exhibit the same issue - reboot when on 3g, but perfect if on Wifi. And yes, it will reboot even on a freshly install ROM (no apps installed).
HTC knows of this issue and they will replace/repair. I got a refurb and it works perfectly - stock, cyanogenmod 6 or 7.
Sorry, probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but search on <insert your favorite search engine> and you will find that this is a fairly widespread problem.

Thank you for your answer! It does not work, had sent a factory repair.

After several tests, on Monday I sent the phone in for service. I think it's a hardware problem, maybe a bad batch of motherboards.
my S / N: HT05... and your?
I will tell you just back from assistance.

Did you ever overheat it? I believe that the N1 has a problem if you really push it that it can overheat. Once it happens once it will happen again and every time it takes less and less to cause the reboot. Eventually it reboots just with 3G.
I was running mine in the car-mount with GPS, Google Maps (3G), screen on brightest, on a hot summer day while charging ... and it rebooted. Didn't think much of it but then it started rebooting every time I used GPS and charging.
In the end it was pretty near useless ... rebooting all the time. I sent it in twice (the first time they couldn't reproduce the problem) and the second time they replaced the board. Problem solved.
Now I am very careful not to overheat it.

[Q] WTH just happened?

Hello! I'm new here. I've been browsing the forums for a couple of months now so i finally decided to make an account and this is my first post .
OK. now my question.
so around probably around 15 minutes ago i picked up my phone and it was working fine.
like 5 minutes ago, i picked up my phone and it was turned off. i figured the battery might have died or something. I go to turn it on, and it won't turn on. i took the battery out twice, and still no luck. After about 5 minutes, my phone decided to turn on by itself.
It works fine and everything, but still, can someone possibly explain to me what just happened? lol. i figured it would be hardware related, but if the information is needed...
My phone is rooted
The rom it currently runs is RoyalThunder 2.1. i flashed it yesterday.
So thanks to anyone that can explain this. like i said, my phone works. but i want to know if this has happened to anyone else.

honestly, i've never heard anything like this before. i have a galaxy s i9000 rooted and it has similar problems, the screen would turn off and i can't turn it on until i pull the battery and reboot.
so, not sure, but glad it still works fine
and by the way, welcome to the XDA forums

and thanks

Touch screen issue

Around yesterday, after I got off work, I noticed my touch screen was acting a bit abnormally. The whole right side of my screen stopped working, everything in the column directly above the search button (even the search button itself) doesn't work.
I made a quick video with my webcam showing a touch tester app. My hands got in the way for part of it, but hopefully it's enough to show the problem I'm having.
To anyone who sees it, what do you think? easy fix? need a replacement? has anyone had this issue with their shift, or any other phone in the past? I'm hoping it's as simple as something coming loose on the inside, or the touch screen needing a recalibration.
I plan on stopping by the Sprint store today after I get off work today. Hopefully they play nice with the fact that I'm running CM7, though they shouldn't pay any attention to that.

Well from the Video it seems as though it might be a hardware issue. But I've been wrong before. I would try flashing a different Rom to see if the issue persits. As for the taking it into a Sprint store while running CM7, I wouldn't. Not unless you know the people very well. They might try and blame the issue on you rooting the phone. And or flashing a cstom Rom. You can try and recalibrate the screen by going into Menu-Settings

You really should RUU before you take it back. There's a good chance they may notice and say that since you rooted you've gotta deal directly with HTC.
EDIT: Yeah, what quick typing Prboy said

I try

Alright, thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to flash back to stock, just as long as they don't try to make me update saying it's "the root of the problem"

they would only say that if you run the RUU for froyo but why would you do that when we have a RUU for gingerbread

What would an RUU be? I'm not familiar with the term.
Doesn't the gingerbread update lock me out of using any custom Roms?

It resets your phone to factory lock, all locked and everything. And the gingerbread update has been cracked. Just gotta downgrade to 2.2 and then s-off and flash a 2.3 ROM. Even the stock rooted 2.3 if you want.

Well, they determined the phone had moisture inside of it, so I'm out of a fix from them. There's bound to be moisture, living in Washington and all. >_>
I can't justify paying $100 to replace a phone that's almost a year old, I'd rather hold out for something newer, ...if only Sprint would get a phone at Droid 3 quality!
I guess I could take a look at the problem myself.

Goi back and argue with them. You've got nothing to loose, unless you really did drop it in water. They tried to pull the same crap on someone I know with an EVO4G. We just say there and said prove it. After about an 20 minutes of arguing back and forth they finally said "replace it this time without charge" . But just to be clear his screen was defective. He hadn't dropped it in water or anything. I say go back and argue eith them. Or even try a couple of differnet stores.

I agree with the above poster
"Moisture" is just a bs excuse. Don't let them push you around. I was having touch screen issues too, and I took it to the Sprint Store. They ended up "giving me" a refurbished Shift for $35.

Kit Kat OTA users...

Hello All,
I've lurked for a fairly long time, however I have come forward from the darkness to share some problems brought to light from the KK OTA update.
It Sucks.
There is no way around this. It's laggy in every menu. When im typing anything out, whether its a text, or an email or even into a search bar Its always chopping and lagging behind a couple seconds. Its a pain to hit the home button to back out of apps or just go get out of something that stopped responding for no apparent reason.
Also, as a small business owner, It is imperative that i stay in communication with my employees and family at all time should anything arise.
The KK OTA has failed miserably in this function. I have had it happen almost everyday for the last month since i downloaded it and installed it on my device that there are periods of time in between me receiving messages and sync data(email, push notifications, etc) that can be quite long. I have noticed that sometimes i just plain don't get my text messages for hours at a time. I'm a hard-working, geeky, IT guy 100% of the time, but Im a father first. Its not okay for me to not hear back from people regardless of what the situation is, and then I step out for air at night and go for a cruise, and then all of my texts and push data suddenly hit my phone all at once, sometimes anywhere from 3-6 Hours later!!!!
Its not my reception. I have a full 5 bars at my residence and at least 4 everywhere else in town, and average speeds of 45 Down and 30Up. My brother and girlfriend also have Note 3s and experience the same and even some different issues. My girlfriend's note 3 cant stay charged longer than 6 hours. even with the phone having all the apps closed and RAM cleared and the phone in complete Airplane mode. Its gotten to the point where she always has her charger with her! We feel like iPhone users! We've gone as far as to buy 3 extended batteries and everybody gets to keep one as a spare. Often times i have 2 spares in my backpack and I swap batteries once a day. My brother has had issues with his keyboard failing to work at all and requiring an actual reboot of the device and yesterday he called me to tell me that his speaker stopped working and after 3 reboots the speaker was functioning normally again. What causes this?
To sum it up, I knew there was only one way to remedy this situation and I was dreading it. I had to call Verizon. I had to tell them that the OTA update had made my phone worthless and unusable. It was an even further long shot, but i had to request and demand a replacement Note 3 with Jellybean on it and NOT KIT KAT.
The phone was overnighted yesterday and it arrived this morning. It came with Jellybean. Flicking through the menus and settings I had forgotten what the speed had felt like. Crisp, concise and without the slightest hesitation. The main purpose of this replacement on JB was so that it could be rooted and the stock apps could be frozen through TiBu and a nice aftermarket ROM could be installed. And that's just what I'll do. I've kept my Sim in my old phone and made sure WiFi stays off on the new one until the old one is backed up and Im ready to root the new one. I cant take anymore chances with these stupid OTAs
Briefly after i had taken the OTA, I had attempted to use Kingo and vRoot(I had been out of the phone mod/root scene for a while) To my surprise it didnt work. Then i realized the boot loaders had changed and were blacklisted and there was no going back.
I've been stalking all of the similar "4.4.2 root method? threads for the last few weeks and all of the responses led me to this obvious conclusion.
Lesson Learned. READ XDA BEFORE TAKING OTAs.

Note 3 junk now.
My Note 3 after OTA:
1 in 30 chance of not seeing "mobile network not available"- and actually making a phone call.
Random reboots
Short battery life
Hot
Crappy visual voicemail trial hard to disable
Overall, my Note 3 which ran perfectly before the update, is junk now.
VZW only has one answer- refurb.
How's about a fix!

I with you. Was so excited about the update until i got it. Phone havent been the same since. I have to hit airplane mode about 10 times a day to get 4g back. The phone button just hangs and take forever to respone. The whole phone now is very slow. I calling verizon when i get a day off. Really thinking about ditching samsung altogether. Their not what they use to be

I know Samsung can do better than what they're doing right now. But the simple fact that Verizon was 2 months late to the KitKat party with a ****ty OTA to boot makes my blood boil. Currently running Hyperdrive Rom and I have not regrets.
:laugh:

So any suggestions? Really don't want a refurb if possible for their screw up but i need a phone that works. The guy at the vzw store did tell me a fix was in the works Just wait?

Hey guys, I experienced many of these issues as well but have since resolved them.
First, any auto killers that you are running will lag the system big time! I dont know the technicals of why this happens but I experimented on my phone and it happens. SO AVOID AUTO KILLER APPS.
Second, this is in addition to the above suggestion. If you still have problems, a clean re-install might solve it. You can simply use kies or the verizon upgrade app which you can download with a little google search. Repair the installation or install clean (even better) to clear these issues up.
Again, I don't know the technicals but this worked for me after a good amount of experimentation and it's working fine until a root is available.
Best of luck!

RMA Cracked Corner. Received LTE version as replacement.

So I was one of those affected by the Shield corner crack issue and got my replacement this week. I was out of town so I didn't open it for a few days. When I did much to my delight I noticed it was the 32gb LTE variant. This happen to anyone else or did I just get lucky?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2842175 Towards the end of this thread, 200 people lucked out. The rest get 16gb versions.

I received the LTE upgrade replacement as well. The down side, OTA 1.2 has completely borked the tablet. Random lock up's and rebooting. I'm a little surprised they are having so many issues getting this thing slightly stable.

I'm using a wifi version, but 1.2 is working well for me. Maybe a factory reset and or reflash of the update will help. Also are you guys having to send the tablet out before getting the replacement sent?

I have the LTE version and 1.2 works great on my device.
What did you do wrong?

Opened the box, turned on the tablet, updated to 1.2, factory reset, use = Crashing non stop as well as MANY others posting on the official forums. This is with no apps installed as well. My WiFi only on 1.1 runs much better, but is cracked to hell. (have to mail that out tomorrow....note to self)
Also pretty sad you can't disable LTE, you have to activate airplane mode to turn it off. They STILL have not fixed OTG charging (sigh). The processor mode gets stuck till reset after it sleeps on any mode. I have read on the official forums that gamestream got screwed for many people as well. Game stream still works for me, but the tablet loves to crash coming out of console mode.

I have no problems with the 1.2 ota either

At least if there are a ton of bug reports, a fix should be pushed relatively quickly.
Give it time guys, Nvidia will get it there...and if they don't the devs here likely will.

Would be great to have a kernel dev working with the Shield tablet. This would allow using the stock rom as a option. The problem with the shield is so many of its features require the stock rom to work (at least right now).

Got my shield 32Gb LTE since 4 days, did the Oita to. 1.2 and rooted it.
Can't find any problems with it, battery is fine, no fc’s, sod's just a fine fast tablet.
