Random reboot issue of HD2 - HD2 General

Well, I have read many thread relating to this but nothing about HD2, so I will show my case.
My HD2 reboot randomly in day, however, after a lot of test, I could point out *WHAT* cause
1. Too hot: When I first buy HD2, although phone could get hot but It never reboot. However, now It will reboot if get hot (too easily). So question is If replacing battery solve problem?
2. Too many applications (RAM issue): The fact not too many, let me show you example, I open SMS, opera with 1 news web tab, google maps and then bingo, *REBOOT* So what s go wrong with my HD2 in this case???
These 2 reboot reason have nothing to do with ROM or Radio or something software relating, I have install nearly every ROM in forum for HD2 (stuck 2 weeks for this test) and no ROM solve problem.
Recover after Reboot:
Well, it really tricks to turn on phone after a random reboot, It stuck in welcome screen and stay there forever how many times I try. The only way to turn on HD2 again is removing battery, let it out for about 2-3 mins (less than will not solve) and then put it back, turn on the HD2 get work again, boot normally. This is really suck, I must assume
----------------------------
So are there any chance to fix these problems without sending HD2 to manufacturer. Any hint is highly appricate
Thanks for help

I had the same problem yesterday. After seaching xda-forums, my conclution is this:
The 3G connection causes the problem. How? I don't know? Can anybody explain?
I disabled the 3D connection and have had no more reboots in 24 hours....

I´ve had reboots with some rom/radio combos.
i just avoided the roms that gave me reboots and the phone has been pretty stable since,
dutty, energie and artemis have all been quite stable.

HTC Magic (Sapphire) keeps rebooting

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

HTC Legend suffering Standby on Death (SOD)

hi all,
i having my 1st Android phone (HTC Legend), but my set suffering Standby on Death (SOD), not sure if the right term. When it on standby, I not able to wake the phone; only way to remove the battery and on the phone again.
However, during it 'freeze' mode, try calling the phone; won't ring but caller doesn't get any engaged tone keep trying connect tone.
Please advise if any1 experience the above or any steps I can do.
** Try searching the web, only found SOD on Win phone.
Cheers.
Edit/Delete Message
The same thing happend to me yesterday, for the first time (I pulled out battery to reset it). I had a few random resets last few days, but I do use my legend for app development testing, so i'm not sure if i somehow provoked the problem.
Offtopic, but just looking at logcat output of a normally running Legend you get impression that there are a lot of unfinished stuff, especially HTC applications (news widget is terrible)
I'm also seeing the same random resets on my Legend. Not sure what when wrong. I have a bunch of apps installed but I don't know if this relates to any of them.
It happened again just now. Restarts on daily basis now
just make a hard reset
Ok. I did a hard rest. And i don't want to install any apps, let it run in vanilla flavor for 2-3 days and see if it happens again.
If it does, that means it must be caused by one of the apps installed before
I had some SOD's, but after a complete clean and reset to original setting, everything disappeared.
Maybe it was a problem coming from installed software...
clean reset, wiped out everything. reset after 15hrs of up time. i'm going to RMA this thing
Hi all - first post here...
I have not long had my first HTC handset - and I really like it, but nearly every day I get this 'SOD'...as described here.
I had to remove the battery to wake it up again only this morning.
I have noticed, that it only seems to do this when it can't recieve the weather data (under the HTC clock)? the handset never seems to hang etc while it has this data?
Have others seen this? Could it be a bug?
Why not bring all SOD threads to one?
As I see all SOD's are same on all devices.
There is bunch of symptoms but if you have sod than you are experiencing some or all of the symptoms.
General help is to hard reset few times than flash shipped ROM then hard reset again few times then flash your favorite custom ROM or leave shipped, and reset again few times. And finaly set network to GSM+AUTO in Phone band configuration. Or try to change SIM with another network operator.
All of this helped some people but there is many who did not solve the SOD with this nor anything else.
I know I am posting in more than one thread same thing and it is not double or triple or X posting it is just help request for people who could finaly understand what is problem and help us all.
Sory, and thanks in advance.
Weather is not problem on my device, I did try turn it off, disable auto update of everything .... no difference.
Even I leave it connected to USB and it have the internet connection all time and I do not have SOD, I have DIM of death screen dims not turn of and if I disconect it and pres power to go to stand by or to turn off screen I can not power on device until i pull battery out few times - 4 - 5 timesto be precise or sometimes even more.
I got a new replacement unit and it works fine since. I guess my old unit was really defective
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
I have had to have my handset replaced now. My SOD contiuned and then the Mic gave up and no-one could hear me in calls - made it unusable as a phone. I also had battrey issues where the phone wouldn't charge and the battery meter read wrong.
All seems fine with this replacement handset.....

Maybe I have found one of the reasons that causes the boot up freezes

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.

Screen goes crazy after a few minutes.

Hi all,
I've recently switched to Android Roms on my HD2 after years of playing around with WM on it (as well as older HTC phones). However, this is the first time I ever encounter this problem:
After I had installed my first Android ROM (NexusHD2 v2.3; later updated to v2.4) I have been having a very weird problem with my touchscreen.
After a few minutes of reboot and working on my HD2, the screen goes crazy. It becomes uncontrollable, it starts switching from one tab to another, it becomes unresponsive to my taps, it won't click where I tap (it taps somewhere else), also it starts opening apps by itself (tapping by itself).
What is weird is that after a few seconds of this craziness, the touchscreen returns to normal functioning.
I searched for this problem online but couldn't get anything. I tried another ROM (Hyperdroid v9) but then after a few minutes of the flash, the same crazy behavior started.
This problem is really starting to make me hate my phone. Typing on the keyboard is the worst; and forget about browsing (clicks links randomly) or even gameplay.
I really hope someone could help me out. I hope this ends up to be a software issue. However if you think this is definitely a hardware one, do you have any suggestions on how I could fix it?
(I live in Lebanon, and in my country sending the phone for service is out of the question)
Sorry for the long text but I'm really getting desperate over this thing..
Best,
I'm going to switch back to WM6.5 in order to check whether this is an issue from Android or—hopefully not—a hardware one.

HTC 10 (verizon) reboots randomly.

This may seem like a noob thread (which it probs is) but my issue is probably rare in htc 10 phones. You see.. my htc 10 just randomly decides to reboot from time to time. I've noticed some pattern to it but it still does not help. The reboots occur randomly. Some days, no reboot at all. Other days, it reboots so many times. Reboots more noticeably while watching videos (I got the phone knowing this problem). So, a logical person might say, "Hey, why don't you reset to factory settings/why don't you flash stock ruu/use htc repair tool or sync manager." To which, I reply, "I have done literally everything I can except getting it s-off and flashing custom rom on it. And the best part? when I select repair on htc sync manager, it says, "No software available for your device""
It may be a hardware issue. Most people say that it could be related to battery. If it were related to battery, the phone would just completely shut down and restart. However, in my case, the phone hangs or freezes for about 10 seconds and is unresponsive till it finally shuts down and reboots. I've put in safe mode as well but still no luck.
I've completely gone into zen mode now. I don't watch videos anymore xD
Help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
