Hi,
Did you flash a new rom or something recently? How old is your battery? If possible....try changing the battery and giving it another shot.

it's a new battery about 2 months or something
yes this is a new rom i flashed it yesterday !
Thanks for your quick response

Hmmm...there you go. That seems to be the problem. Perhaps you'd want to go back to the thread from where you downloaded the rom and check to see if anyone else has had similar problems on their device. Or maybe try to get in touch with the person that cooked it. You can PM them or something. I'm sorry but beyond this....I cant tell you what to do....I've never flashed a rom on my device. Still learning Perhaps someone else on this forum can guide you.
Good Luck

Thank you but i don't think the rom is the problem,
I entered the boot loader and tried flashing 2 different roms and the same thing happens right before the HTC welcome screen "the animated picture where HTC logo appears" the device turns of !
so what is that !!!!
any help please

mine like the fridge!
For troubleshooting, try to cool it in the fridge for some minutes before you turn it on. If this helps, then I have no idea what causes the fault! But you are one step closer by knowing if its a hw or sw issue

If this helps, then I have no idea what causes the fault!

lool
I tried what you said but didn't work too !
I think it might be the RAM or something .. what do you think ?

could be
I've red somewhere that its a RISC controller in the Elf. If so; it contains a RAM itself. So even tough I'm not a specialist on this things I belive that it could be a internal fault in the RISC or the multiplexer to the external RAM or the RAM itself. These things are all a motherboard issue that needs a replacement - in other words a new phone!
If its a SW problem it should work fine with the orignial ROM. On this field I shall keep my mouth shutt 'cus I know nothing about phone/smartphones!! I do think you should make it to the bootleg whit any ROM.. I belive!

have you tried to hard reset
1) Simultaneous press and hold "Power" and "Camera" key.
2) Press "Reset" once with the stylus and then release all keys.

Yes I've tried hard reseting !

That's a relief

Have you tried flashing one of the original roms onto your device? If not....give that shot. You'll find a list of all original shipped roms on the wiki.

I'm not sure
If the mailfunction started after you ROM-flashing "upgrade", then its more likely that its the software. But I know nothing about software on this things or what the symptom may be if theres a missmatch on the phone configuration/model and ROM.

guys I've tried everything even original roms
I think i've to change the board !
Thank you all

help

i restart my pphone but it stayed in the "windowns" screen instead of the home screen no matter how many times i restarted it, so what should i do now !!!!!!

I think it would be helpful if you provided addition information about your phone like what ROM you're using, etc.

um.... i cant even go on to the home screen so cant really tell.....

hard reset

Which windows screen? Titanium? Or the boot screen?
What were you doing when it happened? What happens when you pull the battery out for 10 minutes and put it back in?
We really need more details to help you.

Thx for the reply. Moving to that thread now. .

Wierd Problem!! GOT PICS!

when i get this problem in the phone it doesnt make any sound when someone call or when the ringer is set up and i need to restart it so it will be fine but this problem has been showing up for 3 month and i got no idea what is making it!! and it makes my phone sometimes freeze and heat up :S

Are you currently on the stock ROM?

Yes T-mobile Stock rom 3.14

Have you considered trying one of the custom WinMo 6.5 ROMs? If this is an issue with the stock ROM or any recent updates then I'm certain the chefs in the WinMo 6.5 section have addressed it.
I'm on tytung's NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.0 currently and have been flashing different Android ROMs since I got my HD2 Just some food for thought.

I upgraded my ROM from T-mobile center but still no effect and im abit of new in this and i dont know how to do cooked ROM's and i dont want to brick my HD2 :S

Have you tried a hard reset (factory restore)?
You will need to backup your contacts etc first but this will fix any software issue you have.
If the problem persists after that, it is something more serious.

Yes already did 4 times!!! and backed up all my stuff with PIM Back up

anyone help?

Sounds like a hardware problem. this is a warranty issue.

also, you might have selected something wrong in the gsm/cdma settings, check your network settings.

Well, if your phone is out of warranty, and you don't have insurance, I am sorry to say you are out of luck. This must be a hardware issue.

Try installing different roms to check if its not just a software-bug. if that doesnt work your digitizer is probably broken.

sorry to bring bad news mate, but my first guess would be that your digitizer has failed. Unfortunately it's a relatively common problem with the Nexus 4. To rule out easily the software, just boot the phone in recovery mode and check if the touch screen responds properly in there. If not, i wouldn't even bother flashing other roms or doing a factory reset: your only option remains sending it in for repairs... or you could always try replacing the screen by yourself.
Here are some other threads that deal with the issue:
