Hi guys,
not sure if any one of you have this problem? My set will auto reboot if my incoming sms is not read and when the vibrate in new incoming sms is set.
Did a full hard reset to reload rom, still there. Tested on a newly reload rom, still suck big time. But i do enjoy hard resetting and loading diffferent boot-loader to the phone.
Enjoyed this phone except for this crazy issue.
Going to get SE to replace the set. Hope it goes away.

well if this really is an issue, I doubt replacing the phone will help because it is most likely a bug in the firmware rather than the hardware itself..
why don't you try to fix the battery more firmly, so that the contacts to be made better. it may be the poor contact with the batter, so when your phone vibrates it restarts.
there's no way to be a soft error.
Got the new phone today. the issue so far is not happening.
The phone will vibrate then after awhile like 3-5 minutes then restart, or some time black out. When it balck out, you can heard a beep when you try the power button, then i will go dead till you take out the battery and restart.
The new phone definately feels much faster then the old one, even with all the same contacts and programs installed. So i believe it was a hardware problem. So far i did not see anyone with the same problem so i think it is a one off thing.
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 had my desire he for a week now.
Though everything is fine, I'm having problems with the sound. It was working fine before but after a day or two it would randomly stop. After doing a hard reset to set factory defaults the sound would then work again.
Today the sound has stopped working again...
What is causing this? Could the phone be faulty or is it an app causing this?
The sound was working fine this morning but now there is no sound whatsoever.
All installed apps were previously used on my HTC desire & HTC hero and never did I receive any problems.
Anyone else had any similar problem or what may be causing this?
I need an answer soon guys. I just spoke to vodafone customer services regarding the sound problem. They are saying it's faulty and needs to be repaired.
However I'm sure it does not need to be repaired as doing a simple factory reset will fix the problem.
Could an app cause this issue and stop the sound working?
When I make a phone call, the loudspeaker works fine...
Why is loudspeakers/phone calls working for sound but system sounds/alarms/SMS/music or even videos have no sound.
If I was to do a reset it would then work again.
Anyone have any suggestions before I return the phone for repairs?
Taking the phone in for repairs is the last thing I wanna do.
I know this won't help, I have had issues when the Bluetooth dropped off while listening to Music (A2DP). At first I was re-booting the phone and the problem was solved, then I decided to switch off/on my Bluetooth device and phone connection and it worked okay. However on a couple of occasions the phone has mysteriously gone into "Silent Mode" and I have no idea what caused it?
This is most strange, does restarting your phone also fix the problem or do you always have to do a reset?
I've not heard of this problem before...
Does the sound stutter before it goes off and does the phone lag at all??
I really couldn't tell you but I thought I'd respond anyway before you take it for repair..
Also have you tried setting all sounds to zero and then back to max again...does that work??
Wonder if volume locker app would stop this, or at least it should tell you if the sound settings have changed and then revert them back....just a thought.
hello guys just to confirm you are not the only one with that problem out there... restarting the phone works for me though try that! but yes its definetley a bug i have also had the proximity problem, wifi doesnt work and heep of other stuff so ill be returning the handset in the next couple days!
either way good luck with yours!

Thanks for your reply. I had to do factory default twice on it to get the sound back.
Funny enough just now I held down the power button to restart the phone.
It then restarted and the sound is now working!
I do not know if it will stop working again or how long it will take for it to stop working again.
I will keep you all informed.
At the moment all I can say is the battery is terrible.
It was 75% this morning and now it's around 25% and it's only been around 2 hours...
Do you find the phone to be laggy??

I did at first find it very laggy, especially when browsing through pictures, it was sluggish and would take ages to load the pictures.
Now, after enabling the USB Debugging setting, it was a smooth as butter.
Sound is still working! Battery is now 18% when it was 80% this morning!
And another person with the same problem.
I am helping my friend with his DHD and today he announced that his phone has a similar issue (and he says that the small speaker - for making calls - is working). He is on a stock rom, but his phone was originally from 3.
Do you know of any custom ROMs with sence which don't have this issue?
Do you think it would be a good idea to contact HTC about that - who tried?
Do you have fast reboot on? If you do try disablin that and do a restart of the phone. Maby that helps

Thanks for advice, but it didn't work . Even tried taking out the battery. Do you know if it's possible to monitor your hardware components in Android?
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
Hi this is my first post on the forum.I"ve searched for similar issues,but I didn"t find anything.I bought a HD2 last month and installed various android ROM"s,everything fine since last week.Now my HD2 have this issue:
-I make a phone call and after 2 seconds the screen goes black and freeze.If I want to activate the loud speaker I can"t because screen is black and not responding.I can have the conversation,I can close the conversation from power button,but screen remains black and non responsive.When I close a conversation the phone remains nonresponsive for 5-10 minutes,and after that everything goes to normal.
-I have this issue since last week,until then every android rom that I"ve installed worked just fine.
Now I have on phone HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.5_Release_Version
and I"m having this problem with every Rom that I"ve installed since last week
I start thinking that it"s a harware problem,I don"t know...
Is anybody else who experience this problem?
Thank you very much,and excuse my poor english.I"m a Romanian living in Spain
Nobody have this problem or a fix?I"ve tryed everything with different radios and ROMs...
strange. i don't have that problem.
I"ve just installed official vodafone WM 6.5 ROM for spain and I have "almost" the same issue:
-during call screen goes black and no way to open it.
-the difference is that when I hang up screen goes on instantly and no freeze.
What is that,hardware malfunction?
sounds like a hardware issue
I hope not...
I"ve noticed that if I enable the loud speaker in the first 2 seconds(before screen goes black),the phone is not freezing,and no black screen,everything just work fine as it should.
I"m out of ideas...
Edit:I am now on [CWR-CLEAN] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER HoneyComB V11 (30.Mar).
I see some people on this forum that have the same problem too.Nobody have a solution still?
Try an app from the Android market called 'Call Light'. It's supposed to keep your screen lit up at all times during calls, but what it has done for me is that when in a call, the screen still goes black when the phone is to my ear, but as soon as I take the phone away from my head, the screen lights up again instantly.
I had almost the same probkem as you do before using this app, except that as soon as the call was over, everything was back to normal (didn't stay black for the 5-10 mins after calls) now all is ok for me.
It might not work for you, but it's definitely worth a shot.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I have same problem, too.
But i never cannot unlock my phone, so i cannot install that app, too

Yeah,I"ve already do that but not works for me.Sometimes (few times),phone app run just fine but many times I got that annoyng black screen.To get back to normal I have to do a reboot or to make a call from another phone to my hd2,then screen comes back.I don"t have this issue with incoming calls,only with outgoing calls(when I call somebody).When I make a call I have to activate loud speaker in the first 2 seconds to evitate black screen issue,in that way screen stays on during call and after I hang up I have no freeze problem.
I have "call light" installed,unchecked proximyty sensor in menu and checkedd the option that makes the screen stay on longer during conversation.

HELP...... Stilll cannot use my HD2
BUMP........
Is this problem got solved yet?
Note that if you plug your cable to pc the phone will unfreez and will be laggy for secounds, did you try to change your SD card?
Solution
Everything difficult-is easier)
Just clean dust on the sreen,where sensor is situated.
ANd choose a ROM with Tytungs kernel 12.4v3 (with solved libsound issue) or a SENSE based ROM
