Hi there, i've got strange problem with my HTC HD2 last night. Before 17.01.2012 everything was working fine..
So it's the story:
AS everyday i plugged my hd2 to pc to charge up battery and i went to sleep. Next day when i woke up, i realised that my hd2 has frozen(?). I mean i needed to take off the battery and put it back to reset it what was strange bcoz it happened 1st time to me. After reset my signal started to behave strange. I hadnt signal for almost whole time [never happened before to me] or just 1 line for a while. It was very sonwy outside so i thought it's bcoz of weather. When i went to school still had signal problems [weather was ok already], tho i could make a call to a friend, but i cant send any text-message since morning. Atm i have same problem like during morning @ home [weather is still fine..]. Tried to update radio, made hardreset on my android, and finally installed back my windows mobile rom, nothing helped.
Did anyone encounter with simillar problem with hd2? If yes how did you solve it (if you managed to.)
ps.
soz for bad eng/grammar
i suppose you are running Windows on your HD2?...i have not experienced signal issues on my HD2, but i have experienced constant freezes. since you have already reflashed your HD2, i suspect the problem is more of a hardware issue. Have you tried another SIM card and see if the signal is ok?. It might be your SIM card, or the SIM connection. If that doesnt work, im afraid its the antenna that is faulty. You can replace your antenna or send it for repair in this case. Meanwhile, if you dont have a spare phone, you might want to use some wifi based call apps(skype,etc).
hope this helps and good luck mate!
-cheers
Is it anything like this thread is talking about i.e likely to be a hardware problem:

you copy&pasted the dots in the link so its a 404.
do you happen to have the real link?
i would be quite interested in it since i am facing similar problems right now
Not everyone flashes their phone, but all of us suffer from bugs.
I thought of starting an exclusive thread just for discussing the bugs present on the official SGS2 Firmware.
With the experts here, hopefully they can be clarified, resolved and become history
So, i'll start with the bugs i found.
My firmware version is I9100GDDKL1
First issue
When i get a call and answer it, the screen times out, as the proximity sensor signals it to. But often AFTER the call, and after i take the phone away from my ear to hang up, the screen does not come back again, instead it goes blank black. The call is still on as i am not able to press the end call soft button.
Pressing the home key OR the power key have no affect, it last for 10-20 seconds maybe and then it comes back on its own AFTER the person on the other side hangs up.
Any ideas? This is a sensor, or a software glitch?
Second Issue
Sometimes the phone just loses connectivity. Alot of times its within the city. Its odd, because normally others using the same network do not face this issue.
I have to then manually re-connect to the network.
What issues can these be?
Third Issue
I have noticed this twice now. Phone starts acting funny, as in no signal and does not restore it. I restart it, but when i do, the entire home screen and app drawer is gone. Its blank. All other phone functions work just fine.
I restart again a couple of times, but no luck. So i finally open the back cover, take out the battery, sim and SD Card and put them back again. After that when i switch it on again, it works just fine.
Software or Hardware problem?
This thread is a great idea i think.
My firmware version is I9100XWLP4.
I have only one issue, the same as the first issue in the op, been using this firmware for about a week now, and thats the only problem i have come accross so far.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jesse
My PDA is i9100XWKI4 and GB on it.
First two issues are happening with my SGS2 also, but twice in a week or thrice in a week only. I think proximity sensor have some HW issue.
For calls, even phone shows good signal, but calls are dropped, before I thought it was the problem with other end party, but realized that it is SGS2 problem.
My firmware is i9100xxlpq and I have none of these issues. Maybe you could try flashing the rom I'm using.

We can solve alot of issues by simply flashing it, but i wanted to know if there is some way that we can solve them with simpler adjustments/enhancements?
Also if we conclude that something is an hardware issue, then we should just go to a service center and get it corrected, shouldn't we?
There isn't a great deal you can do about most 'problems' if you stick to stock & don't root or run custom firmware.
Short of sending it back to Samsung. Who will probably only flash the latest firmware (if there is any) if the problem isn't hardware related. Which you could easily do yourself.
Rooting/running custom firmware gives you the ability to solve problems that otherwise wouldn't be fixable (and definitely produces problems that otherwise wouldn't happen as well sometimes obviously).
I don't disagree with you that rooting/ flashing custom roms will solve most software issues or atleast lead a way to solving them.
All i am saying is, that is there a way to solve some of these problems otherwise.
Also we can find out if our phone has an hardware issue, because if some problem is too uncommon, then it probably IS isolated and can be a hardware fault.
I think all do update their firmware. I Infact changed to the latest one recently, but it didn't do any good.
I am not against flashing man .
Just keeping it as a last resort.

ICS BUGS thread search please we dont need another one .
Hardware is relatively simple if you do not have a problem on GB firmware then it is not hardware .

This is not for ICS alone.
You mean to say there can be NO hardware fault at all?
I have absolutely no idea what is going on with this. Currently when i try and turn on bluetooth it will sit and think for about 15 seconds like it's turning the radio on, then just fail and go back to thinking the radio is off. When i try to activate wifi it does the same, but says error.
I am running neutrino 2.7, but was seeing this on 2.6 as well. I did a full wipe and re-install last night, and installed apps one by one to try and find what broke it. I thought i had identified google voice as the culprit, but with that uninstalled and almost no other apps installed bluetooth and wifi broke this morning.
if i flash a radio it will fix it maybe once in 5 tries, and only for about 20 minutes or so, then it fails again.
this started last week around the same time AT&T started throttling my data for going over 3.5gigs. No idea if that is related.
any ideas, things to try, etc?
Make a backup and flash the stock rom and stock radio for that rom, see if it still happens. I've read of others having wifi and bluetooth problems, you may try reading in those threads.

Problem!!
you resolved the problem??? any idea???
nope, not yet. I've tried other kernels, and other versions of neutrino (was on EE, tried GT), nothing. Even with a clean wipe it's being dumb.
Downloaded the stock AT&T rom in fruitcake form, going to try that next.
From some reading i think there might actually be some phones with a hardware defect where some soldering wears out and starts messing up the bluetooth/wifi. I'm praying that isn't my phone because i'm well out of warranty.
i have the same issue on CM9 as of yesterday. no amount of wipes or different CM9 roms helps, haven't tried any GB roms yet though.
check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205775&highlight=wifi+error
i've read that.
flashed stock AT&T rom today, still have problems. not amused.
backing up my data, formatting all sd cards, wiping everything and trying again.
I'm with this problem too, Im running morrisoft rom since last month and I didn't any update, change configs or flash anything before It starts, so wierd...my wifi+bluetooth was working at night them in the next day it wasn't anymore lol..
(it happened today btw)
i ill try change my rom and see what happens...
same issue on a completely clean wipe. pretty sure at this point it's a hardware issue and not software.
I'll try the "fix" posted in the other threat at some point.
clean wipe has no effect. Wifi will sporadically work, bluetooth won't. I'm pretty sure based on how inconsistent the issue is this is a hardware issue. Not amused at all. No warranty left on this phone, and no upgrade until october.
This must be a pretty common problem. I had the exact same issue as OP, tried everything to fix it and nothing. Thankfully, I had an upgrade waiting for me. I tried to send mine in for warranty repair but no dice because of the bootloader being unlocked. (I even flashed it back to stock so that it didn't say "UNLOCKED")

They didn't want to repair it because they knew it had been unlocked? Are we talking about motorola?
same thing happened to mine..... it was a hardware issue, had it replaced...sorry..
My Moto G4 suddenly restarts at any time if I am using the phone, most of the time it happens when I receive a call.
I have tried various ROMS, even stock firmware, still facing the same issue.
I have the XT1643.
Anyone else facing such an issue?

Which baseband do you have? Do you tried without 3rd party apps on stock rom too?

I have the 'M8952_70030.25.03.62R' baseband.
I have tried without any third party apps installed, facing the same issue.
If in case it was a baseband issue, I would be interested in flashing the latest baseband.
Would you be kind enough to point me the right direction?

Same here.
I tried every rom. The problem still presists.
The problem is noticeable when battery is below 70 and while receiving calls.

You do have latest baseband version.
This issue happens when phone gets heats up and battery stops responding (power cut) to lower the heat radiated.
If im right according to your telling ill suggest you to take the phone to service centre. It is more a hardware problem then the roms itself.
How do i know?
Simple, experience.
My friends g4 plus suffers from same issue(not on calls but heat issue) and service centre guy told us this reason.
Well i may be wrong as information is incomplete.
Fill in this :
Battery temperature.
Background activities.
Mostly with calls and other than that (if happened).
You told all/most roms, may you name some with build date and what/how issue existed in all of then.
Also battery supply voltage(use my device app).
Try the same issue like this :
Plug in your phone charge it and play heavy games.
If device reboots you got your solution, if not then recreate the scenario and tell us exactly what happened.

Thank you for the suggestion, I guess I will take it to the service centre, seems more of a hardware issue.
Anyways, my phone is still in the warranty period, but I have flashed it.
Will they service it for free if I flash stock firmware and relock the bootloader?

No,
Once you unlock your bootloader the warranty is compromised.

Yes, they will take your phone and money from your pocket and will repair it.
If you can now, try to flash the stock rom with build no. NPJS25.93-14-8.
I also had similar issue(it shut down on receiving notifications) with build no. NPJS25.93-14-4 (even on custom roms I flashed over it) which got fixed in the NPJS25.93-14-8 update.
Now again the issue reappeared on NPJS25.93-14-10 version.
Hence I flashed the complete NPJS25.93-14-8 using fastboot and now it's working fine(both on stock and custom roms). Maybe it had something to do with modem version or bootloader(unlikely).
Tell me if it worked.

My phone shuts down while playing something through speakers( like while playing music, ringtones etc.).
It doesn't powet on itself but i have to turn on the device by myself. Is it a hardware issue?
Also my camera flash isn't working fine. While capturing only yellow led blinks. But while using torch both the led's are workung fine. What the crap this device is??

If you haven't tried clean flash, do that. Flash the NPJS25.93-14-8 version.
Else it highly seems a Hardware issue.
And yes, this device is a crap. Heating issue, lag when recording video, random shutdowns, etc. But development work for this device is great.
I also have my earphone jack not working which apparently required to change the whole motherboard to fix as claimed by service center guy. And unlocked bootloader void my warranty so it's been this way for long time.
I had the same problem and I did everything. change rom, from kernel I did everything possible with software based speech and searching in forums I found that it is a battery failure, check if you still have the warranty. otherwise you need to buy a new battery only this way the problem is solved
I hope you solve your problem
I just solved it today and it goes great, greetings:good:

When i was on 14-8v , i started having these problems. Therefore i flashed lineage os 14.1. but problems are still.
While playing music it's not necessary that my device is going to be turned off, but sometimes it suddenly turns off by itself.
And my both leds are working fine while using torch, but at the time of capturing shots the white led does not blink, only yellow led blink. If anyone knows plzz let me know the solution.
Same here

I'm on A17, don't seems to experience any random restarts. You're saying that you've got a machine replacement, do you mean you've got a new phone via the service center?
