Is my phone broken? - Desire HD General

My wifi wasn't working today, it kept connecting to null..
(on android revolution hd 7.0.4)
so i pull the battery out and reput it back in, it worked and all but this time after 5 minutes or so, the phone restarted it self...
quite random, so then I took the battery out, blew in it etc.. and now it's stuck on the HTC screen and won't boot into ARHD.
anyone know whats wrong?
Thanks.

If you had å back up. Just restore it. It looks like software related problem. Otherwise full wipe and flash the rom again.
Hope it helps

After perma root phone won't shut down completely.

After getting perma root and installing Bacon bits 0.3, when I want to turn my phone off completely it instead just boots back up into the recovery. Does anyone else have this problem or have any ideas how to resolve it?

I am apparently having this problem as well now. I never noticed it before and even after a battery pull my phone seems to boot back into recovery. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
One thing to note is that you need to make sure that you don't have it plugged in and charging. It's known to boot on its own when you do that. I'm not sure if that is a bugged feature or not, but I also have Bacon Bits installed and can shut down fine.
Although, my phone stays on all the time.

Ok just tried to turn off my phone with it unplugged and it did not turn on to recovery. So kind of a boo bug for now but I am sure that it will get worked out.
Heh... I'm guessing you all have Clockwork Recovery installed? That's the problem. At least, when I switched to the test keys recovery, it wouldn't constantly start back up with any power regardless of how I shut down.
hmm..i have baconbits installed and dont have this problem. ill look into it

[Q] Elocity not waking from standby

Hello all,
Received my a7 a few days ago and was noticing sometimes it wouldn't wake up when it went to standby. The green indicator on the top of the device became solid instead of blinking which I assume means its not in standby anymore, but the screen remains blank. I thought a factory reset would fix the problem, but it didnt. I installed dexters mod last night and it did nothing to fix the problem. Any suggestions? Should I send it back or is there a fix for this?

You can't send back while you have custom ROM. Revert to stock ROM and try to reproduce the problem. Install 2-3 applications and check. Then install a few apps again.
I think it's app fault.

I just installed the new firmware and its doing the same thing, even before installing any apps. Gonna send it back.

Mine did this briefly, I removed power cord, pressed reboot button with paperclip, then went to recovery mode and did factory wipe. I've been good ever since. This did not help until I tried with cord out for entire process.

[Q] MT4G won't sleep with Sense

Hi
I have a rooted stock ROM/Theme MT4G which I noticed last week that it stopped going to sleep. If I set the timeout to 15 seconds (or anything) then right after the timeout is reached the screen sleeps and then within a second immediately comes back on (to the lock screen). It keeps doing that no matter what settings I try. This of course kills the battery life with my screen being nearly 100% of use.
I thought it was related to an app update so I removed nearly everything I could to no avail. Thinking that it was something related to the ROM I decided to try a different ROM. I installed CM7RC2 and low and behold the same problem persisted. I had to disable trackball wake for this problem to go away. I then tried several other ROMs and the problem still remained. I've attempted the various Royal* ROMs and the same problem persisted. Any Sense based ROM was problematic since I had no way of disabling Trackball Wake so I'm now running CM7 (nighties).
The other snag I'm having is that I too have the problematic power button but in my case I have to REALLY press hard to operate the power button which of course is annoying.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this sort of problem?
Thanks.
Did you check out the Cyanogen mod 7 in settings ?
I did. That's what I'm running now.what exactly are you suggesting? Thanks.

I have the same exact issue, ive been trying to get some devs to add the disable trackpad wake option in sense roms but so far nothing so right now i use either royalginger or royalmiui im on miui but i really miss sense :/
I had the same thing. I booted into recovery and wiped data and cache and flashed again and everything worked.

I must have done that a bunch of times already but nothing worked except CM7 because I can disable the trackpad wake function. I wish Sense based ROMs allows for disabling the trackpad...that would be greatly appreciated. An even more helpful feature is the ability to remap the buttons.
Is it possible your trackpad is defective? DO you notice other odd behavior that could be related to it?
If your using google voice its the application doing that you can fix this on cm 7 by moving the application to the Sd card.

I believe this is a real hardware issue... It seemed that the optical sensor in the trackpad is broken and it's always sending signal to the kernel telling that it detected activity but in reality nothing was going on, so the kernel can never go into power saving mode.
Sense UI is a CLOSED SOURCE software, there's nothing you can do to patch it.
Since ALL MT4G are still under the 1 year Manufacturer's warranty, you should call T-Mobile/HTC to get it fixed or just get a replacement....
Ok I found a solution for us mt4g owners with the messed up trackpads, you are gonna have to flash virtuous unity rom v. 2.39 and then apply this patch:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28766802/Virtuous/trackpad_disabled.zip
This patch was made by one of the developers of the rom chrisch1974 specially for this issue, so good luck =D
Same problem, but found work-around
My phone (MT4G) has the same issue but I know why it happened. I got caught in the rain and although I had the phone in my pocket, it got wet. Everything works except that. I left in a bag of rice overnight to no avail.
Anyway, when I press the power button to send it to sleep mode, it just comes back to the lock screen. If I let it time out, it goes out but comes right back to the lock screen. Sounds familiar?
What works for me is holding the home button (the one with the sensor) and, while still holding the home button, pressing the power button once. It is then that I let go of the home button.
Works, but sometimes I have to repeat this charade a couple of times before it sticks. Usually have to repeat it when I don't fully press the home button.
Anyway, hopefully this will help someone that is stuck with this phone and is unable to get a replacement.

[Q] Why does Mytouch freeze and reboot on battery, but not when charging?

The Stock Mytouch 4g started behaving oddly a couple of days ago with random reboots. Then yesterday it would just turn off completely and the only way to restart it was to pull the battery. At first I believed it to be the battery, so I switched it out with a friend who also has a Mytouch 4g and the same problem exited. The behavior would go away when I plugged the device into an outlet. I decided that I would Perm root and run a custom rom with another Kernel to see if that would help things. However in order to do so, I needed to downgrade to 2.2.1. After downgrading to 2.2.1, a different problem appeared. Instead of randomly shutting down, it would randomly freeze on the screen and then reboot. This time the problem subsided only when it was plugged into an outlet and I took off Sleep mode and screen time out. After perm rooting, I installed Clockwork via rom manager. From there, I installed Bindroid's rom using Unity kernel. At first, there were no problems at all - I played around with it for an hour without any freezing or rebooting. I thought I had solved it, so I put in on charge and went to bed. I woke up, it was still fine. I decided I would do a battery calibration. I wiped the stats from recovery and then installed battery calibrator from the market. I don't know if that retriggered the issue or if the issue was just hiding in the back - waiting to attack... The phone is constantly freezing when off of charge - its even happened a few times while I was in recovery mode.
Stats:
GLACIER PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.85.2007 (PD1510000)
MICROP - 0429
RADIO - 26.03.02.26_M

Any help would be much appreciated.
I hope you are still under warranty. Sounds like hardware to me

Unfortunately, I think so as well. As for an update on the phone, I switched radio firmwares, put in different roms, and mixed and matched kernels - all having the same result. I also cleaned the battery contacts both on the batter and on the phone.
I ended up just listing it on eBay.
Try slipping a piece of paper under the battery cover. Maybe its loose and is allowing the battery to lose contact?

I thought it was the battery as well, but unfortunately it was not. Interesting, I found that if I am on a phone call or downloading a large file it doesn't freeze or reboot. So I guess if the radio or wifi is actively engaged it won't freeze. Also, if I play some games it won't freeze as well. However, as soon as I stop doing something that really engages in the phone it will freeze. For example, if I quit out a game and just scroll around - or if I start typing something in the browser or on gtalk it can just freeze. Most of the time it won't be booted up for more than 5 minutes, unless any of the above is performed. I don't know man - just an odd problem. I am thinking about flashing the Windows Phone 7 rom and see how it works out.
Try a fastboot wipe to really wipe the slate clean.
If that doesn't work, I say flash a PD15IMG.ZIP of froyo and see what happens. Just make sure you have a visionary apk to get root.

I think I might have bought your phone on ebay (papichulo?). Anyway I have the same exact problem. Freezes 5 minutes after booting no matter the combination of ROM/Kernal/Hboot/Recovery.
NEVER freezes in recovery/Bootloader though.
Let me check out your wifi/games/charger theory and see what happens..

Oddest thing. It wont freeze as long as its busy. Even simply playing music in the background does the trick. This is the oddest problem I've ever encountered..

[Q] Nexus 4 Freezing frequently

I have been using my phone for more than 4 months now.
Till now everything was fine, but 2 days I noticed my battery was draining very quickly and yesterday suddenly my phone started freezing while using it. The only way to reboot is by pressing the power button for 10 seconds. I also noticed that it never happens when the phone is charging. I phone is running stock rom. I tried reseting it but still it is freezing. So I wiped the entire phone memory and flashed the stock OS again. But the problem is still there.
Somebody please help me. :crying:

Funny I'm also in the same situation. Recently restored from a backup ( from 301k nexus 4 to my current 303k nexus 4) and lately ive been getting a load of lockscreen sleep and my phone constantly restarting or I'd have to hold power for a few seconds.
Just wondering if maybe i should reflash rom as a whole? ( i already reflashed kernel if anything.)

You could reflash the factory image but first make sure this isn`t caused by a runaway app/widget. Most of these problems are caused by user apps most of the time. Install BetterBatteryStatts and cpu spy for app behaviour and cpu deep sleep.

Earlier when I used to restart my phone, the battery app used to show a huge drop in charge, but now the battery app resets itself and shows that the device was on battery only since the restart.
I am getting frustrated, now whenever my phone is inactive for 10 mins, the phone wont unlock and it crashes

I hope this is what you asked
Another thing I noticed is that the phone works perfectly when it is plugged in and when on battery, it wont hang till battery level reaches 91%-93%, but after that as the battery level drops the crash interval becomes less. When it is around 25-30% the phone sometimes freezes even during restart. Will it be a battery problem?
