Help for noob! - G2 and Desire Z General

Hello!
I recently rooted my Desire Z because of the sense restarting issue on the official gb rom. Started off ok with Virtuous Sense but it started randomly restarting the phone quite often - a few times a day. Tried fresh wipe with no apps, no luck. So installed old official 1.84 Froyo (not greedy, just want a working phone with Sense) rooted by rmk. I still get the same problem.
Pretty much ruled out a rogue app.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks in advance.

So it's the whole phone restarting ? Could be a loose battery. Try wedging a little bit of paper (perhaps folded a few times ) in between the top end of the battery and the case, to try and make sure it keeps contact.

Thanks for the reply. The battery seems tight and it's only started happening since I rooted though.

I had this happen every day before I rooted. It has happened after from time to time but mostly on Sense-based ROMs.
I don't know if it's coincidental but at least for me on MIUI and CM it seems to happen less frequently (maybe once every second week).

hey bro that used to happen to me alot too
in my experience it only happened to me on the original rom and on cyanogen 7 rom. try the wiping everything and using different type of rom like maybe miui or something that is not sense to see if it helps.
hope i could help

Thanks for the replies. Have done a clean wipe of virtuous sense and it has yet to restart. If it does, I will take your suggestions and try a completely different Rom - though I will miss friendstream!

Nope. Keeps happening. Gonna try miui but surely there must be something I'm doing wrong here. Open clockwork, choose Rom and select clear data, cache and davik. Anything else required?

you first flash the rom and then wipe data, cache & dalvik?
...i would suggest to wipe before you flash the rom
and you could also use superwipe (flash it through recovery):

In Clockwork, you make the selection to flash the ROM, then it asks if you want to wipe. But the wipe actually does occur before the ROM flash. That is what the OP is talking about.

ah ok... so he doesn´t boot into recovery and wipes manually sry for misunderstanding, but superwipe is a good idea anyway....

Thanks for replies. Yes, wipe takes place before rom install. Installed miui.us. Very nice, but same problem. There must be something I've done. Anybody any ideas?

The only other thing I do when installing a fresh rom is fix permissions in rom manager... worth a try I guess

Which version of cw recovery do you use? you could try to install a older one (3.0...)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I use the newest version. 5.0.2.7 I think.
Did the fix permissions thing and no crash so far. Will repost tomorrow see how it goes.
Many thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.

Aaaarrrggghhh! Worked fine all day. Put it in my pocket when I got home from work. Took it out, pressed the power button and it turned on! It only ever happens when it's turned off. I've never had it reset when in use.
Any other suggestions?

This market issue is annoying already, is there a fix for it?

Ok I know im not the only one to experience this but it happens ALL THE TIME NOW. Whenever I get an update or want to download a new app. It downloads then when it gets to 100% it just stays there!! Then I have to click cancel and keep trying till it finally installs. And all those downloads that didn't install the apk goes into your downloads folder on your SD card. This seems to only happen with ALL the extra kernels. Im just wondering if there is an easy fix that I've overlooked cuz I have checked everywhere and just can't find one. Thanks ahead of time for any help with this.

I've experienced this a few times but not consistently. Has this happened on multiple roms or just one? If you haven't already, I would go into Applications and force stop the Market, Clear Cache then reboot. You could also try flashing the latest gapps found in the CM 6 RC 2 thread.

Yes this has happened on multiple roms, ONLY after a flash a oc kernal though. But thx I will try that.

Issues with Royal Glacier

Having some issues with the Royal Glacier ROM
I have version V1.2 & Froyo Faux123-V0.9.3 Kernel

Video camera lags at times

I thought the ROM with this Kernel was the best to slove the issues?

How long have you been having issues and did you use titanium backup to restore apps? That is the kernel that came with the Rom, have you tried any others? I am not sure why you would be having FC isuues or lag. My suggestion would be to wipe cache and dalvik cache and then reinstall the rom over the top of your current one. If that doesnt work, you can try a full data wipe/factory reset. Royal Glacier v1.3 will be out soon. You can also try that.
I did not back up apps as I was ok with downloading them again, since I don't have that many apps on my phone. I believe the kernel was not on the ROM when I flashed it over. I read the thread about changing kernels, which I did.
I followed all information to the teeth when I rooted my phone, if i do a full wipe my phone will still be rooted S off correct? ROM first then Kernel, correct?
Typically one would try to run fix_permissions when FCs happen in a known stable built.

My thread says nothing about changing kernels. Yes your phone will still be rooted after you wipe.
I am having an issue when im on edge my phone reboots itself when getting or sending data. has anyone else had this problem or is there something i can do??
The issues I'm having have to do with the camera. Everytime I take a picture it seems to mirror it. And another is when I try to send an mms video, the messaging app fc's. are there any known fixes or are these bugs? Can someone point me to a fix so that i can solve my issues?
Sorry, I read the wrong title on the thread. These issues are happening to me in Royal Ginger 1.6

What version are you on? Have you changed kernels or done any mods, or are you just running it how it came?

I'm on Royal Glacier 1.3 and the only thing I get on FC is my market. It does that over and over. Also I get an upside down screen. happened on Both things happened on 1.2 and 1.3
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
it wont let me edit yet, but forgot to say, I am useing the kernels that came with the roms, I didnt try any other, also I did a full wipe before going to 1.3, cleared all data
My suggestion for both of you would be to give the stock kernel from post #5 in my thread a flash and see if that helps anything. Make sure to wipe cache and dalvik first. That at least gives us a starting point to try and figure out what is going on. Thanks
I formatted the system from step 5, I didnt do that the first time and I believe that fixed the upside down screen, mostly just having a prob with the Market FC'ing, so I will run the stock kernel to see if that will fix the Market FC'ing, I will run this stock for a while and let you know the out come of it TrueBlue_Drew, Thanks
Update: I have ran the stock kernel all day and no Market FC, Normaly it's random but hasn't done it at all today so far

hey just wiped my ice glacier data and also the cache and flashed royal glacier v1.3, followed by flash of royal glacier blue theme, my maps and navigation do not work, I tried downloading maps from the market and it says : Duplicate Provider Authority, any advice?

My Evo can't boot

This is my first time trying to flash a rom into my Evo 4G , i did it before with my 3D with out problems.
Now I root my phone I got S-OFF Now I did Nand back up or whatever is call, and then I tried to install a rom,
everything went good it install the rom but when I reboot goes to the white screen HTC EVO 4G and stays there for ever!
I restore my phone and try to do it with different rom, I did it and same thing happens, it gets stuck on that screen!
Im trying to follow a little tutorial I found here but they dont explain much or they are old with diffent way to root (I used the new Revolutionary way)
and Im just a noob on this. also Idk if i just start From the begining Im lost! plase help. Thanks
Make sure to wipe everything but your sdcard before you flash the ROM and see how that goes and if you get stuck at the splash screen you could try pulling the battery and going to recovery by holding down volume and power then try to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Did you partition your sd card that will help it with speed.

Actually the Pyramid ROM with Sense 3.0 is way faster than GB stock. I haven't even installed Launcher Pro Plus yet because I am enjoying the new Sense.

Check this thread out but i don't think you need to do a 2gb partition I use 1 gb and its more then enough room unless your installing like 1000 apps.

tried a clean install ? wipe cache/data/dalvik cache from cwm. Never restore data, only apps when you install a new rom.
ive done that. problem still exists...please help
Do a real clean, install.
Task 29
Flash magldr
Flash cwm with right partition
Flash rom and wipe everything before.
Make sure if the rom uses a sd ext partition. If so make sure it's big enough 1gb should be the best.

No you can use only. The normal a2sd.
You would just need one in your sd card.

i hear you man but i want a fast 3d rom and this is the fastest ive seen. thats why i didnt go with 1.7. could anything else be the problem
You can try to overclock your ROM but it won´t make your phone/freezes better ...sry
wtf do i have a penguin telling me he knows my ip address n service provider?..btw whats causing my sense to crash. after i download an app or return to home screen it loads for a minute
Your rom has less free ram and kills the launcher.

i hate to keep bugging you but how do i fix this?
You could Flash another cwm Partition.
Or you install a Task Killer app and let it kill all apps except the important ones to you every 15mins etc

I'm using the Tegraowners ICS v169 when it stopped working but now I'm on v170 Default kernel and other stuff. It worked for a second then turned back off so most likely not a hardware problem.

Do a full wipe by going into recovery> backup and restore option> click toggle backup and restore of internal storage(/data/media), Then back to main menu, click mount and storage menu > format /data. Be warned, this will erase and delete everything on you tablet, therefore you need to flash some ROM afterward.
