rebooting/freezeing problem

i have a tmobile wing. it randomly freezes while using it, fades to white then off, turns off
sometimes only way for it to come back on i have to take out battery and put it back.
when i turn it on sometimes itll loop the tmobile thing, maybe make it to the windows mobile green page then turn off and try again.
ive reinstalled the tmobile rom, installed open touch, still the same thing.
i read about the memory card having a loop porblem so i took it out, still. tried installing total commander and renaming the file but it wont let me rename it.
thought the screen ribbon or another wasnt in good so i took it part and made sure i put everything in good.
maybe the fact that a pin that touches the battery it broken? see how they make an arc or so. and the 1 is broken. is that the problem maybe?

That may well be the case. The first thing to try is to plug the phone to the charger and see if the phone works properly. If it does the next thing would be to get a new battery.
I had the same problem and it was solved by installing a new battery.
Best of Luck

yes it does do it while plugged into charger. a little less though.
and ive noticed that when i try to fix the back cover, doesnt fit right so it pops off on 1 corner, i take it off and put it back on tight, from me pressing down the phone likes to freeze and reboot.
ive been thinking about a new battery. i guess ill go ahead and get one then.

[Q] Hd2 having seizures!!!

Hello,
I've had my hd2 for about 6 months now and about a month ago it started randomly crashing. I'd have to take the battery out and reset, but when i'd start about 1 out of ever 4 times it would show the inital launch screen, but the numbers in the bottom left would never come. So i'd have to remove the battery again and reboot.
Then it started happening more frequently. Random restarts, crashes, and the phone didnt like to boot at all most of the time.
Last night, it gets really bad and i am able to get into the phone once. After that it freezes always when you initially power on, you see the boot splash, but no numbers in the bottom left, no moving forward.
AND NOW when i power on, the screen stays black, and it just vibrates and will not stop at all unless i remove battery. In fact, as soon as i pop the battery in, it starts doing this.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anybody

Try doing a HARD RESET.
If that does not help it means you have a damaged HD2 motherboard, try contacting T-Mobile or HTC for a replacement.
I'm 100% sure it is a heat problem. I do have the same problem. With my HD2 disassembled I checked that "freezing" the motherboard make my phone boot without a problem... and it worked properly as long as it stayed cool.
I'm trying to replace the motherboard by myself as I do not live within the USA...
Hope it helps.

Same exact problem here, although it happens less often for me. How do we keep the motherboard "cool" so it won't happen? or is this a sign of motherboard going bad soon and it'll be replaced sooner or later??

I think it is a sign of a dying phone... or at least a dying motherboard.
Maybe (just a theory) these are signs of a "cold joint" similar to what happens to the Xbox 360... and the way to fix it is to "reflow" the motherboard... but we need a more technical point of view on this one...

Thanks for the replies. I have tried the hard reset, but it just vibrates with the screen off still, no success in any attempts to do anything. I guess i will have to contact htc since i did not purchase the phone from tmobile.
I did notice before this happened that the phone was getting hot after even a few minutes of use. So i have to assume it is a damaged motherboard or whatever it is inside of my precious hd2 that makes it bring me joy.
Now i am joyless and sad.
Back to the old 2g iphone
*cries*

Im having the same problem too,its not even 3 months yet since i got my phone.can i still have tmo replace my phone?istill need to flash it back to the original shipped ROM.right now ive been flashing it with diff custom roms and still having the reboot issue.
Sent from my HTC Windroid using XDA App

Black screen?

My phone was working fine, picked it up just now to check calls etc screen wouldn't come on. Hit the power button the lights come on a notifaction came through and started flashing but still the screen wouldn't come on. Pulled the battery and restarted the screen lit up like the static on an old TV then went of again.
Whats wrong?

Mine freezes up sometimes, screen won't come on, go to pull the battery too
It's possible something got corrupted when you pulled the battery - try clearing caches from recovery

Buggy ROM, are you running Lollipop?
There are many bugs in LP at the minute, if you upgraded from KK it's advised to perform a factory reset to get rid of a good number of bugs, KK leaves behind rubbish files that cause problems
I factory reset mine but occasionally get the black screen problem - known as SOD or Sleep of Death - phone goes to sleep, doesn't wake back up

I had same problem... sometimes it look like the light is very low... suddenly the screen went dead.... samsung replaced the screen.

Yes I am running lollipop I already had done a factory reset and cleared the cache. Happened twice again today. I got this

When I pulled the battery, tried a couple of times and it eventually worked. I may be wrong but I think there is a lose cable connecting the screen.

I'd get it repaired under warranty if you still have it, factory reset should have fixed it if it was a ROM bug, could try flashing a stock ROM again, but I think that's more likely to be a hardware issue

Yep, just came across a massive thread on Android Central about this issue, seems to be very common.

Any update on this, I think it might of been the case causing issue. I had one of them cheap plastic cases on it, it was so tight I had issues pressing the buttons, and when I took it off back cover and everything pulled of. Anyway I replaced it with an S View case and all has been fine. Could it of been the case?

Guess it's possible if it was extremely tight - not sure what's directly under the body of the actual phone, you'll have to give it a while and see if it happens again
Hopefully not

Bought a weird s5, any help much appreciated.

Hey
I recently bought a used G900H (seller said the box was only opened and phone not used but doesnt seem right)
So it looks mint, just like a new one would. Is certainly not a fake one too, passes all the tests, works very fluently and scores 42000+ on Antutu. Just flashed lollipop on it and all is nice BUT :
I tried to use s-beam and generally nfc - toggle turns on and phone thinks it works but doesnt, cant transfer anything, nothing happens at all. Same for IR (infrared), app thinks it works but it doesnt and I looked at IR transmitter through a camera and it doesnt light up as it should when being used. Blue led indicator flashed though.
SD card works but a couple of times a day promts that sd card is blank or unsupported, then eventually starts working again. SOmetimes promts it is safe to remove by itself.
Battery cover was 10/10 but just after what was like 5 times I removed and put it back on to interchange sd cards etc, 4 small cracks appeared on it,a piece of it even has fallen out and left a hole near a side.
I was also having battery drains but disabled some google services and battery is fine (by the way I have checked and the battery is genuine one)
What is happening ? I would appreciate any information

try to do factory reset wipe data etc. then download cpuz to be sure that it is real g900h (exynos).
after all if still having issues probably the phone has been damaged from the seller ..

I've had multiple factory resets and tried multiple roms, I am not new to android and this is in fact a genuine exynos model.

Everything points to a fake unit, or at least missing some hw. Did you download antutu yourself or did it came pre-installed on the phone?

I installed antutu myself, did all the checks, phone is 100% genuine and software wise works flawlessly. Also checked with Genuine galaxy app etc - passes just fine. Camera is incredible and speed of the phone as well. Also I have flashed G900H firmwares successfully so I wouldnt have succeeded that on a fake device. So in the case that seller had the phone damaged, what might have been done to it ?

Lollipop is very bad.. It made ud return the phone for repairs as it is so bad.
The nfc is located at a weird point on the back..
Battery drains like an insane... 30 percent pr. Hour here from time to time

I have also had terrible battery drain prior to disabling some services.
Here are some screenshots of what I had, maybe someone knows what might be the cause of this activity ? Battery was draining 100 to 0% in a few hours. I have now disabled these services using Disable Service app and can get through the whole day with heavy use no problem.

Wierd battery problems...

Hello everyone!
Well... the story of my Nexus 4:
I have my Nexus since June 23, 2013. In 2016 it started acting up... It randomly shuts down(It will not reboot, only shut down). Power button needs to be pressed hard to power up(to lock-unlock as well)... so I have decided to change the battery. Bought one from a trusted website(they claim is original) for 17,95€. Replaced it. From my tests it was worse than the original. Phone still randomly shuts down , battery % spiking... it would randomly drop 5-10-15% (same for charging). Then I rooted the Nexus and installed a custom rom - Nitrogen-OS-mako-20161230(it will still randomly shut down but not that often). After just 1 month the battery swelled up. Replaced it within the guarantee. Same thing happened after about 3 months to the second battery. I searched on the internet for fixes but no luck... I disassembled the phone again and I installed the original battery that came with the phone and replaced the usb port(maybe this would fix it?)(no it didnt... but it fixed something tho... the power button works smooth again.. dont have to press it hard anymore.. whaaat?), flashed back the original rom 5.1, no root only unlocked bootloader. Still getting random shut downs... at this point I have no more options.
3 days ago I rebooted the Nexus into SAFE MODE. Battery is at 40% after almost 3 days! No random shut downs. WHY?
Can someone explain to me why the Nexus is working like the first day in SAFE MODE?
I have to mention that the Nexus had no apps installed... only the stock ones when it shuts down so... eliminate the possibility of an app causing this.
I dont use it as my main phone but I do have a SIM card in it. I only use an app when I go to the toilet which is Twitch and it works fine in safe mode
So what is safe mode? Why safe mode is so kind to the battery?

Nexus just rebooted by itself into normal mode while it was charging... wtf!!!!!!!

Nexus just rebooted by itself after 43-44 hours (100% battery down to 60% in normal mode).

After just 15-20 min Nexus just shut down by itself doing nothing on it.. just found it like this... what can I say... F... LG and F... this phone... Thread can be closed... If you have the same problem as mine has.. dont bother... F... IT!! Go get a new phone.

I'll advice you to go to your official LG repair store for battery replacement, batteries online are not reliable at all.
Ps: Safe mode in android is just your default apps and settings but no 3rd party apps that you have installed so technically its less resource consuming and hence better battery life.
