I have a 8125 and It crashed on me. Now whenever I try to boot it up nothing happens, no power on at all. But if i take the sim card out it boots up just fine.
I took the sim card out of the 8125 and tested it in my RAZR and it worked.
Any Ideas?
Thanks a ton guys.

It might be that you still have an old %V SIM card? Not sure if that would effect the WIZ but some phones just don't work with 5V SIM cards - only with the newer 3Volt SIMs. You could ask Cingular for a replacement. I guess every store could help you with that!
Also: try (if possible) another SIM card from a friend or from where ever and see if it works.
How exactly did it "crash"? What did you do after the crash? Have you tried a hard reset? Are you running a custom ROM?
Well I bought the phone online and it worked GREAT for about 3 days, then I was at work and it kept turning off by itself. I would restart it and it would sometimes boot up fully (about 1 in 3 tries). I watched it and when it would shut off by itself the screen would fade to white then power off. I did a hard reset and that didnt do anything.
I also tried going into boot mode and installing the rom on the HTC website. That failed to help either.
I then tried to install the "Love" ROM i believe its called, but my phone crashes while trying to install that.
Any Ideas?
Thanks again for the quick replies!
Did the phone come with a carrier ROM, or did it come with a custom ROM? Do you have a warranty? Have you contacted the seller?
It may be easier to get a refund and/or new phone, since it may have been a bad unit from the get-go.
The phone came with the cingular ROM, Im not sure if its still under warranty since i bought it from a guy on the net. Im guessing its not. Any idea how much HTC will charge if I send it into their "Out of Warranty" repair shop?
thanks!
This is happening to me too. I have HTC wizard (cingular 8125) with the current rom from the HTC site. I was using the phone in landscape mode, then shut the screen, and the phone just turned off when it closed. Then I went to turn it back on and it just faded to white after the cingular screen. Last program i installed was either BTaudio, or GPRSStallWorkaround.cab (i know, should've just edited reg). Any thoughts?
PS haven't tried taking out sim yet... will try
edit: tried w/o sim, same thing no luck
Hello everyone, well, I will explain my problem, The Wifi in my Titan used to work great, but as it is a little old, it have some hardware problems, actually the answer green button doesn't works, but I have no problem with it, the real problem is that the Wifi switch don't want to work anymore, I now it because after some days after it happened, I open the phone, turn it on, and try the switch, it only worked with a very big preassure, but now, after some days, it's fully dead, I have allready tried using the 10 Buttons Comm Manager, but when I click the Wifi won't work, there appears the dildo-like image in the top of the screen but only about 2 seconds, and then it just go and the Wifi is still of, so I'm asking for your help, what can I do? Thanks in advanced.
Ah, I was forgetting to tell you that here in Mexico there are no service for any HTC because it is not usual to see here one of these excelent phones.
You won't get wifi to work if the switch is broken in the off position. Your only option is to get a new one.
My wifi used to work great until I upgraded the phone to the MR2 update. When it restarted, it would do exactly as yours. I would turn the switch on and it would keep the wireless icon in the top of the screen with no connection to a wireless network. I tried to go back to MR1 update but to no avail. I took the phone to Verizon and they told me the wifi chip must have burned outduring the upgrade and that it was not their problem and would not replace the phone. I had to go through insurance and pay $50 to get another phone.

Same problem here. It seems to be more then just coincidence here. It cannot be that so many people are having the same problem at almost the same time experiencing the same symptoms.
We need to find out what is in common between all of us in order to find the solution.
I have searched in the past, with no luck, for instructions on how to dis-assemble the Mogul. Maybe the hardware switch can be replaced? (assuming you have the stomach for such things)

Disregard wrong post.
Well, finally after some research, without any results, I decided to work my self, so I disasembly the back of my Titan, rid of the useless swtich and build a bridge with a copper wire from the terminals and now it works perfectly!!
Of course the problem is that is it too dangerous and to be honest I don't recommend to do this, but if you try it, you will have to be prepared with a 10 buttons comm manager, because with every reboot, the wifi wil be turned on, I know that this is not a good solution, but here in Mexico there are not service for HTC.
Hello dear droid pro users, i bought a droid pro from ebay and just received it yesturday (Live in Kazakhstan, central asia). The phone i received reboots every 5-15 minutes with no particular reason. Here's what i tried to do, non of it helped:
1) Factory reset the phone from the phone settings - did not help
2) Hard reset by holding R and M button and swithching the phone on, then going to a reset and erase cache procedure - did not help
3) Updated the software through internet connecting the phone - did not help
3) Swithing between global mode/GSM/CDMA modes - did not help
4) Unmountind SD card and working without SD (maybe SD card was bricked) - did not help
5) Unmounted SIM card and used without network (thought it was conection issue) - did not help
6) Tacked off the battery for 1 hour - did not help
7) Did all procedures step by step done in followind post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923552 - did not help
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or i just thow the phone away Thanks in advance
Try to flash the original firmware using RSD Lite
original firmware megaupload.com/?d=H6ZYY4QE
В личку писать можешь на русском))
I think the initial run of phones was so-so quality wise. I have a reboot problem as well that seems to be linked to either the GPS subsystem and/or the charging subsystem.
Probably call Verizon at some point and ask for a warranty exchange.
One interesting point is that it does not rebbot when it's charging. Could a battery replacement solve this problem? Or it's the phone's power management problem?
I doubt that in this problem to blame the battery. In any case, flashing the device does not hurt. If firmware does not help then the problem is really in the gland.
I blamed the battery too, and found this kind of rare battery from someone else and tasted it... did not help. After several fission ROM'ing and flashing with no results, it's 98% problem of the phone hardware.
i had the same problem with my motorola droid pro verizon ,what i did was i went to verizon and told them about situation they send me another device also pre owned (phone is on warranty) and replaced phone has na issues everything works just fine . no reboots , no power off, no hangs .i tried everything like mentioned i 1st post did not help. i think is a hardware difectived or phone has a virus on it ...
Well you're lucky, I don't have Verizon (Vodafone) in my country
Hello Joeystarr,
did you ever find a solution? I have the same issue here... bought on ebay. Probably some sellers thing ebay is where to sell crap. Very bad.
Is it worth spending time digging and flashing or whatever?
edit: I solved using updated rom. Now locked once a day and that's it...
Thanks!
Hi guys,
New owner of a S4 (GT-I9505 international) here with a problem. 2 days ago I noticed the screen wasn't rotating anymore. I used to rotate it portrait/landscape in applications like Camera or Internet (browser). The moment when it started to bother me was when looking at pictures with the phone in portrait and the image was landscape. Trying to rotate the phone didn't help. It was frozen. I called a buddy of mine who has some experience with Samsung devices and told me to verify the "Auto-Rotation" settings. It was all OK and enabled. Then he suggested turning the phone off and pulling out the battery and SIM card for 5 minutes and putting it all back. This didn't help either. Finally we got to the point where he told me to enter *#0*# in the Phone dialing application. As you might already know, this code gives you access to the "testing" hidden utility. There I tested all the options available. Everything was fine except for the Sensors and SensorHub Selftest.
In the Sensors section, all the tests failed, starting with the Accelerometer and ending with the Temperature. I uploaded screenshots taken during the tests. Please remember this started 2 days ago. Before this it was working perfectly. I don't recall making and major changes like updating any OS components or installing/running stress utilities related to sensors or device behavior. After doing some research online and reading about other people's similar problems I got to the point where I started to suspect a problem with the MCU (Micro Controller Unit). This component, according to Samsung, controls all the sensors and reads raw data from them without accessing the AP (Application Processor) this way extending the battery life. I believe the problem is here because it seems odd that none of the sensors are working all of a sudden. Can this component put the sensors into a sleep state and shut them down completely? Might this be the case here?
Below are the solutions I tried in order to revive the MCU and finally the sensors. I was all without success:
1) Turned off the phone and pulled the battery and SIM out. Put the back in after about 5 minutes. Result: sensors not working.
2) Reset to factory-settings from the settings option while the phone was in the working state (turned on). Result: sensors not working.
3) Rooted the phone, installed Clockwork Recovery, made a full system and applications backup and then installed custom ROM (two actually: PACMan, Google Play Edition (4.3)). I did this in order to exclude a problem related to drivers in the stock Samsung ROM, even if it was logical that Samsung being the owner and manufacturer of the device might have the "best" drivers and applications for inquiring the device components/sensors. I am aware this ended the warranty for me, but can I know it can easily be undone. Result: sensors not working.
4) Restored the original stock Samsung ROM. Result: sensors not working.
The utilities used for sensor testing were: Sensor Kinetics and Sensor Tester. Both can be found in the Play Store. On my wives phone, which is an old HTC Desire, both utilities picked up the available sensors and created graphs with the results. On my S4, I only got blank charts/graphics/results. In Sensor Kinetics for the Gyro for example, the message was "Waiting for the Gyroscope sensor...", just that, stuck.
If there are any other guys (or ladies!) out there who encountered this awful experience, please reach out and tell me if you found any practical solution, any other then just taking the device back to warranty. I'm open to any suggestions.
Best regards,
Andrei
Most likely a defective device ... can't you claim warranty and sent it back?
Sounds like hardware failure. This would be an issue for Samsung to solve.
Sent from my GT-I9505

Unfortunately I bought it second-hand and it does not have any warranty. I guess it's one of those moments I wish I had patience and gathered more cash to buy a new one from the store. Anyway, it's my bad luck. I had it working perfectly for weeks after buying it. I will use it like this for the time being..
i´ve got the exact same problem since yesterday...
i think i´ll take it to the shop for warranty
I've got the exact same issue. All sensors are having the same issue. None are working,
I found out because my camera app was not switching between landscape and portait any more. All pictures are saved as landscape...
Called Samsung Netherlands and they told me to wipe my phone (still latest original stock ROM) and try again.
Making a backup now using Kies... and will hard reset it afterward and check the sensors.again.
Probably not going to work... So I have to send it in...

Hi there. I had same problem with sensors and MCU test failed, so i took phone to service. They said its hardware failure and replaced main board. Im picking phone tommorow and we will see...
Hi guys,
I took mine to a local phone service, not the official one, but they are an affiliate. They could not figure out exactly what the problem was so they replaced the logic/main board just for testing. It was all working fine. They called and informed me of the findings. Given the fact I don't have warranty for it, they suggested to send it to our main service in Bucharest where they have a more sophisticated testing equipment. It is possible to get a more precise answer regarding the defective component and maybe a less pricey solution to the problem. At this time, the only viable option is to get a new logic board in place, which is about to set me back 250 USD. I will get an answer from Samsung in Bucharest by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
I will get back to you with my final solution... hopefully something not so expensive
@darklord, @eweu: please post back you findings. Maybe in the future when some other unfortunate owner finds his way in here, will have a better understanding of whats on the plate for him.
Thanks,
Hard reset did not work as expected. Going to drop it off at a local official repair center....
S4 Sensors failing
I have the same problem with my S4 GT-I9505 device not auto-rotate, air gestures with gyroscope and accelerometer tests failing. S4 been back for 3 weeks to Samsung for repair came back and failed again after 1 week

After installing some other ROM's and playing with different CSC's I have no sound and even no wireless and only Edge speeds on some ROM's. Restoring from backups, wireless came back and HSDPA+ also, but no luck with sound what so ever. Now, I have a tablet more or less. Thanks Samsung, this is great!

I have the same thing here
all sensors are broken because of SensorHub BIN FW Version: AT0199999
then i try to update firmware with *#2663# it failed.
I have the same problem with my S4 GT-I9505.
Suddenly the device do not auto-rotate, and no air gestures with gyroscope and accelerometer are working.
The SensorHubTest end with FAIL.
Mid december I got one OTA firmware update and I didn't notice any problems first.
A few days after newyear I notice that my auto-brightness adjustment did not work properly.
Can't remember if auto-rotate didn't work when I notice the auto-brightness problem.
But finally I am here because I searched for sensors problems.
I did the SensorsHub Test with *#0*# and it ends with FAIL.
It seems that there is a problem with the 4.3x firmware.
With 4.2x all was fine.
Can anybody confirm my thoughts - that the firmware is broken and not the MCU itself?
What can we try? Downgrade? I read that one was lucky with "factory reset" but it didn't helped to revive the MCU of my device.
Thanks for reading
and answering

Hi, i am a owner of a sch-i545 phone, and i have the same problem with the phone: no response of any sensor and a fail on test (or upgrade firmware) of the sensorhub.
At this time i was tried a lot of solutions: i was flashed stock firmware, custom firmware, and of course a factory reset (by the way, the first time with this problem was when i did it a single factory reset), its still broken the communication with the sensors.
I get back to life the phone when i upgrade the phone from 4.2 to 4.3 (sadly) and get lost when i update the binaries in super su (previously rooted with vroot).
Yesterday i give the phone to a technician (a close friend of another best friend), he will test the phone on this weekend to determine what is the problem to try to fix it.
When He fix this phone, i will post any news!
Regards.

Thanks for your answer. I have hope that the next firmware will fix it.
What is strange that none of any reseller/privers know this problem. It seems that also Samsung has no knowledge about this special error.
Well if the next firmware didn't fix the problem, I can replace my model with a working one, that is what the guy at the phone shop offers to me.

Same Problem Here
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum so be nice :angel:
I am having the same problem in that none of the sensors are working which indicates that it is a connection issue or the actual hub not working or the firmware and not the individual sensors themselves. I have thought about this and looked around and to me it seems like there are only 3 possibilities for the problem:
1) The SensorHub BIN FW Version is out of date and needs to be updated manually (not through *#2663 as it doesn't work)
2) There is a connection issue e.g. the cable from the sensorhub to the motherboard is loose or broken
3) The sensorhub is broken (not the sensors)
I will try to find the firmware files and see if I can do a manual update. If that fails I will open up the phone and see if the cable is connected/broken. If I still cannot solve the issue, I will have to take it to the shop and hope I can fix it off warranty (I bought it second hand)

Thanks Dan for your reply.
I assume that your S4 shows the same behaviour as my one and the phone is still working fine.
The sensorhubtest failed and your light sensor for automatic adjusting and the sensor for turning the display are not working.
What is really strange that I went to a vodafone shop in Hamburg and ask them if there is any other one having problems with the S4.
You know the answer? They where wondering and telling me that this is wierd and they heard the first time of such an issue from me.
I showed them the device and showed them how I test the sensors. *#0*# funny they didn't know this combo
I hope that you succeed and share your knowledge,
with best regards.

Its rare that i have an issue i cannot solve on my own, but this one has me stumped. last friday, i took the newest update on my OP6t 8/256 to 10.3.10 (unlocked, bought from OP directly). After the update, i lost cell service.and signal. i am bootloader unlocked, and eventually ended up using msm tool, which did not resolve my issues, despite wiping and relocking my device.
now, i am back on 10.3.10 and i only have some service when i am on wifi. i have cleared network settings and also manually added Tmob which errors out. i have tested the sim in my old Axon 7, and it works perfectly. also, the settings menu appears to show another update still, but it is not clickable. anyone have an idea? Thank you in advance for any help!
On that last screen where it shows your MAC address does your phone still have a IMEI ? (Don't post it, just it should have a number, yes or no?)

It still has both of them. (Dual sim). I have an axon 7 that lost it's EFS partition, so of course that was one of the first things I looked at. Having had that happen before, that was one of the first things I backed up when I got my fajita in 2018.
well, even a new sim card did not fix whatever has gone awry....
update: i took it apart, and pulled the shield over the board. tapped around. put sim in, it didnt work. rebooted with the sim still in and it worked almost all day. set it down on my desk, network disappeared again. pressed on the back just below and to the left of the camera hump, and it came back. worked for 5 min before stopping again. picked up a op9. but i will attempt to fix it later down the road. im guessing either the antennae is loose (checked all coax to ensure they were seated) or one of the multitude of drops, albeit in a good case, broke something beyond repair.
Update: after ordering a new sim reader and evaluating the phone some more, I realized the signal antennae was on the verge of breaking. Moving it with a nylon spudger finished the job.
Update 2, replaced snapped off gray coaxial and still had no network. Realized the other coaxial connector had popped loose and felt like it was seating, but it waant. So issue resolved not at all the software. It was the other coaxial connector. It felt like it was seating, but was not. Fixed and working well now. Woot. Thank you anyone who helped!!
