I've done a search on this, but peoples problems seem to be different from mine.
I have just the normal clock on the nexus that came on android 2.1 I think. Now I have no alarms set, yet it goes off every morning around 8... Very annoying when I don't actually have to get up till later.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to turn this off? Like I said, I haven't actually set an alarm, I actually deleted all the alarms that were on it...
Help would be appreciated
PS: Nexus is not rooted or anything as far as I'm aware.
Do you have any suspect apps running in the background? I'd wipe
How do I check this? I didn't install any And what do you mean you'd wipe?

by wipe he means do a factory data reset ... (menu-setting-privacy..)
i would imagine that you would know if you were rooted or not
Well I bought my nexus off someone else. Does it do anything different when you are rooted? Mine just starts up with what seems to be the original android 2.1 . And would resetting be the only way to get rid of this alarm then? I'd lose all my downloaded apps?
Thanks for the help and I hope I don't come across too dumb. I've just never rooted a phone before so I don't know if its supposed to do something different.

If you got it from someone else then the first thing you should have done is factory reset it. I'd try that, that should absolutely fix it.
Also to know if you're rooted, when you reboot to the first boot screen [the still image of the colored X] and there is a picture of a padlock unlocked at the bottom then you're rooted. If it's not there at all then you're not rooted. It will be very noticeable when you reboot.
Ok so my hero keep turning off by itself. This is not the first time it happen, it'll be on then it will just turn off by itself. Even worse sometimes the led light will be flashing for a new message and when I press the menu button to unlock it, it restart automatically. It mostly restarts itself when the screen is dark and i always press menu to bring up the light or to unlock it. Is this mean my phone is now defective ? I mean this happened before on some other 2.1 ROM too so idk what it is. Can someone tell me how to fix this????? I've tried almost all 2.1 Roms Aloysius, DC 2.07.2, Trevs Damage, ZenHero , RegawMod (themed) and Fresh 2d. the only rom that didnt restart my phone was the Fresh 2d with the very first audio fix by Avalaunchmods but i already erased that out of my computer.
Hmmm, not much to go on. I had experienced a similar issue back on early ROMs, but it was so infrequent I never really cared.
Try a Nandroid Backup and then flash to a 1.5 ROM and see if it continues, if so then yes the phone may be defective.
Also try different 2.1 ROMs here, and let us know if anything changes.
Dude, seriously do you need to have such a big font? Its not necessary....
i didn't catch that, what did you say?
lol mr big font
this happened to me last night, i wasnt even touching the phone and this happened, but its been the only time and ive been using 2.1 roms for a while now...i think this even happened once or twice when i was on stock...
coming from windows mobile, im used to things like this.
This happens on my sisters stock phone frequently I don't really care to look at it though.
Big fonts aren't nice. Stop using them
Try a different ROM. You may even want to revert to stock for awhile, if it keeps rebooting you should return the phone for a non-defective handset.
LOL @ RTessi

My sis's is on stock, and she has the problem
Funny thing is my phone is the only one without problems, and it's the only one that's rooted.
i don't know what we're yelling about loud noises
i got it fixed now, i think, i've had Fresh 2.0d for a few days and this problem is gone. oh and sorry for the big font lol i did this post in class on my phone and i didnt preview or look at what font i was using
hey guys.
i have a tmobile hd2 and i've noticed that my phone wont go past 50% with memory usage without having to restart itself. its very annoying. it happens after ive been using the phone for a while or been using the wi-fi router. my touch pro 2 never did that to me though so im wondering whats wrong.
help?
thanks
sorry to bump this but can no one help me?
Is it getting hot? Mine gets warm after using WIFI router. Once, only once, and I have no idea why because it hasn't done it since then, it randomly rebooted. I understand that higher temps can cause issues with the HD2. I'd do a search but I'm too frazzeled after a long day of work.
it cant be the heat...my phone gets warm but not hot once in a while. when it resets itself, it doesnt have to be hot to do it.
and when it does reset itself, it forgets to start the gps so i have to reset it again
i hate when it does it...is that normal to not go past 50% ram usage? does anyone elses do that? im gonna call and get a replacement but does anyone elses HD2 not go past it?

You don't have your ROM in your sig, so I don't know if you have a custom or not.
For sure, you phone crashing that fast is a shame and not normal.
If you are running a custom ROM, try getting on that thread to see if someone has or had the same issue. Sometimes these things happen and fixes are pretty fast if the chef wants to keep an audience.
If you are running stock, you might consider giving a custom ROM a shot, especially some of the "Lite" versions out there.
Be sure to Task 29 between any flashing to wipe out all previous data. Spare bits hanging around can interfere with a new ROM in unpredictable ways, including developing a crash pattern specific to your device that doesn't happen to other users of the same ROM.
Please keep us informed of your progress, someday another might have the issue and be looking for your solution, even if that is a hardware warranty exchange
hmm, i can see the rom version and everything on my sig... =/
im running the stock rom.
i wanted to go to a custom rom but then i hate having to update the rom every time a new one comes out. you know? props to the chefs who do that though!
i just had it exchanged. it was too annoying to keep going on like that
Looking for some advice/help. I got my wife the Evo Shift a couple of weeks ago. Her phone has not been rooted and other than a few added apps the phone is completely stock. The phone reboots on her 4 and 5 times a day. She does not have any kind of task killer installed so that's not it. She plays Angry Birds a lot and uses Pandora quite a bit. I have also installed Sound Manager for her. Other than that I can't think of anything that would be helpful for trouble shooting. I have searched here and through Google and have not seen any info of others having this problem. I am not sure if I should root the thing or return it to best buy. I have the Evo and previously the Hero and am no stranger to rooting or custom ROMs. Just really did not see the need to root it since my wife has no idea about any of that. Any help or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.
root and install nfinitefx's or mik's rom; you'll have less trouble than if it was stock.

That's what I was thinking. I am a little worried its a hardware problem though. I guess I could always flash back to stock and return it if that doesn't fix it.
hell return it ya got nothing to lose but a headache
Did you try a factory reset?

Not yet. I did get some more info from my wife though. It only happens when she is at work. And she says she get some sort of "radio error". I'm starting to think it might have something to do with the building she is in. She had my hero for a couple months before I got her the shift and had no problems. It had CM 6.1 running though.

im running mine stock and rooted and dont have any problems with reboots. sounds like a app is probably screwing something up
i had a similar problem with one of the streaming media apps i used to use a month or so ago i cant remember the name but for some reason if i lost signal it would crash the phone and need to be rebooted
i took it off and installed tuneinradio and it worked better anyways
My shift was rebooting itself 3 to 4 times a day, I just rooted it and it seemed to stop rebooting itself for a day. Now its starting to reboot itself again, but not as often.
I am almost convinced its a hardware problem. Sounds too rare to be anything else. Maybe bad memory or something.

I had a freezing issue with my phone which people suggested possible due to pandora and bluetooth. Perhaps you have the same issue?
Anyway, try to find "bluetooth for automotive" settings for pandora and turn it off.
I wouldn't recommend rooting your phone if you think its broken. You might just end up breaking it further and render your warranty void.
If you can't fix it, get sprint to replace it.
i dont need a signature
This may be resolved by now, but I got my shift previously used. When I first activated it, I was getting some radio errors and I could not make calls or send sms messages, but the email worked fine. I contacted Sprint customer service via chat from the website and they did something from their end to fix it. I had to turn off my phone and she said now wait till I tell you to turn it back on. I waited 5 minutes and when I turned it back on, everything was fine. So I would take it in or contact Sprint and see what they say. As for not sure if you wanna root it for her, I would definitely recommened it, she doesn't have to take advantage of all the advanced tweak that some use but it will just make the phone a lot smoother and easier to use. IMHO.

Thanks for the input. I think I'm going to go ahead and root it. After keeping an eye on the situation its seems its only happening when she is at work. I can't imagine it will fix it but I think its worth a shot.
I think I fixed mine. I tried to use navigation and it kept force closing, that was strange because I've used it before with no problems. I googled around and found some info that if you had another text to speak engine in your phone then uninstalled it without setting it back to pico as default it would cause nav to FC, which is what I had done. So I set it back and checked "Always use my settings" in the Voice section of settings, nav started working and the reboot issue went away for the past 7 days.
I don't really know crap about phones and most tech stuff for that matter (heck 99% of what is said in these forums goes over my head) but I think why this fixed it is either nav or some app was trying to use pico or something and when it couldn't the phone would get an error and reboot itself. I may be wrong (probably am) but maybe she deleted something or changed a setting some app needs and that is causing her problem. Hope this helps in someway or at least gives you another direction to start checking.
greetings. about a week ago, I noticed I was missing a lot of calls, and not receiving texts. I can call out and send texts, just cant receive anything. well today I had enough and took it to the sprint store. after 3 hours of them working on it, still nothing they went as far as trying my number on a different phone, and even that phone couldnt receive calls then. (never rings). lastly, they gave me a new phone number for my evo, and still cannot get calls. so, I along with them are super confused. is it my evo or the number that's bad? they ordered me a new phone to pick up on Tuesday, but I'm not convinced it'll work. anybody have any idea what on earth could be wrong? I'm running pure stock. oh yeah, Google voice doesn't work either for getting calls, but it can receive texts. wife's phone on our account works just fine. so weird. thanks guys.

data over 3g and WiFi is working perfectly.
It's network related. They better pay this months bill for you. Call Sprint and find out.

I've had a similar problem lately of not getting calls. I'm not missing all of them, but at least once or twice a day, all of a sudden I'll get a nerw Voice Mail, yet the phone never rang. And, I've had people tell me that when they call, it goes straight to Voice Mail
I just attributed it to having WiFi only on, although that is just a longshot guess on my part.
Ive been unable to receive texts girl 3 days now. Anybody find a fix?

what's wrong with that Rom? damn, now that I think about it, I ran that Rom and realize my problems started that day. is there a reason why that Rom caused my no calls/texts issue.

yea. when calkulin upgraded from 1.77 (great rom) to 1.8, he added a bunch of ## codes directly in the menu. but somehow the defaults were messed up. i had this problem too. it affects any rom you flash after. just full wipe and reflash calkulin's, then get your msl from msl reader, and go to the dialer. then type ##data# and select edit. make sure mode of operation is on auto. then, DO NOT OPEN SETTINGS. just power off phone, and flash something else (maybe even calkulin's 1.7.7.)

@OP
the problem isn't with your phone, it's with your account. i ran into this a few times while i worked for Sprint, and there for all the issues that came up, the only fix was to delete the account from the network in its entirety and start from scratch. sometimes there's just some corrupted code that no level of tech support knows how to do anything with that just needs to be re-written.
i'm surprised that they ordered you a new phone even though using a different device didn't work. i think it was just a move to make you feel like they're doing something for you tbh. make sure that your line is comp'ed until the problem is resolved. you could probably get your whole bill paid, but you're more likely to get half of it (i'm assuming you only have two lines) covered. my recommendation is don't get greedy, just ask for your half.
goodluck!

thanks for the info. yeah, only two lines on our account. I'm not gonna be greedy seeing as I'm the one who caused the problem (flashed the rom) I just want a working phone now I'm real curious to how long that's gonna take. I'm mean if its my account, a new phone won't solve the issue right? could take Sprint awhile to figure this all out. grrrr. and its all my fault.

don't think this is a rom specific issue, it's most likely the network.
I'm having the same problem on savage-zen rom rc2...
What may help is updating your radios, prl, etc. I haven't done that in a while, not too sure that it will make a significant difference though.

I had the same problem running Evio 1.8. I tried a number of things (including different ROMS) but what seems to have fixed it was to reflash the radio. I reflashed the PRI 1.77_003 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485&highlight=radios and my phone has worked fine ever since. Once you're in recovery (amon or clockwork) flash the zip (PRI 1.77_003) and reboot. It will flash the radio and reboot. It might solve your problem.

just letting you know, the pri is different than the radio, and we are talking about evio 1.8 starting problems like this for many, including me.

so do u think its worth rooting again, and trying all that, or wait till I get the different evo and see how that goes? to be honest, I didn't want a different phone. I really liked this one and do you think them giving me a new number affects any of these trouble-shooting efforts? thanks.

If you have the time I would try my suggestion and or dkdude36 suggestion. He is correct in that the PRi is not the radio. I was in a hurry to type out the message. But I do mean the PRI, and I use the 1.77. You'll have to root the phone again, and nan-unlock. Then install a ROM and a recovery. If it doesn't work you'll have to restore it to stock before you return the phone so it will take some time to do all that. I was running Evio 1.8 for a while then one day I couldn't receive calls. I tried many things but the PRI fixed my phone. It's really up to you and how much time you have.
calkulin's evio 1.8
dkdude36 i think is right, i had the same problem a month ago, had to call *2 for help.
want ah guess what rom i was running....evio 1.8!
now i'm on Eternal Prophecy 5.8 got to read the hole thread, zero bugs!
