I've been using this Kaiser phone for about a week now and it's seriously starting to piss me off.
I won't go into the details here, I just want to ask, is there a way to retrograde Windows Mobile 5 on to this phone?
Cheers.

LOL,, that made my day!!!! Everyone and their grandmother is trying to get a flawless WM6.1 version and you want to downgrade to WM5.0.... Awsome!!!
What's wrong with your phone?
As it comes from factory you should not have any problem (if it does something unusual like hanging or dropping calls, just return it, there's something called warranty).
You can download updated HTC apps and all kind of utilities from P1tater or AllTheWay sites on 4shared, if you want.
You can download official WM 6.1 ROMs, they work fine.
You can try any of the cooked ROMs, done by the dozen of cookers here. Some of them have small flaws, but you can see how the device performs with another settings or applications.
Guys you don't want to make him angier then before.

If the phone makes you that angry just take it back and get a flip phone.
As I remember, kaiser came with wm6.0, I don't think you can get any factory wm5 for kaiser.

Ok. There are quite a few, but here are some...Dunno if this is an issue with the hardware (don't think so) and I'm actually using a Vodafone branded device if that makes any difference.
Phone lock bug
Locking the phone sometimes puts the device in a limbo state where it will not respond to any screen input, but will respond to the keyboard. Clicking the unlock screen item has no effect in this state so the phone can't be unlocked without using the keyboard
Calendar reminders not showing up on Today
Noticed this yesterday, that events occuring in the next day or two were not showing up as an item on the today screen calendar summary. It only showed up when I actually went into the calendar and the event, and then exited the application
So fu*king slow
Ironically, the well publicised slow video doesn't really show up on my Kaiser. The camera works at a good frame rate (when used in good light) and video recording and playback seems as fast as my old Trinity...
BUT
Every other fu*king aspect of the phone is slow from responding to clicks on icons to playing games which worked very well on the Trinity (mainly Celeris Virtual Pool).
I asked if WM5 could be installed on the phone as I believe the first two issues could be allieviated by this old (but perfectly useable and properly working) version.
Any ideas / suggestions welcome.

YOu want to sell it? I'm looking to buy a replacement TILT if you are looking to sell.
If I can't resolve the issues then yeah, it'll be put up for sale.
Vodafone v1615
I also have one of these, and have never had an issue with it freezing like you have descibed. I would suspect it may be a hardware issue with yours - suggest you get Vodafone to replace it - doesn't cost anything! I'm perfectly happy wit mine

Cheers...Can you tell me which ROM versions you have installed on your device.
Would really appreciate that. Thanks.
From what you are describing, these issues appear to be software-based. I have an AT&T Tilt, and from day 1 it was plagued by sluggish response and screen freezes. Now that the cooks have had 6+ months to play around with Kaiser hardware, there are several custom ROMs out there that can resolve/minimize the problems you described.
Before you go so far as to get rid of the phone, I would suggest you read up on the ROM Upgrading section of the Kaiser Wiki (linked in my signature), and determine if you are willing to go through the steps required to unlock your phone and load custom ROMs.
I have flashed no less than 30 different ROMs in the last 6 months, and I must say that I settled on Dutty's Apr 09 build 2.5 weeks ago when he released it. Video playback is still choppy (hardware issue affecting all flavors of the Kaiser), but can be lessened by purchasing and installing CorePlayer. I have had no freezing issues since flashing to this ROM.
Thanks for all the useful comments...Have known of Dutty for some time and have flashed his ROMs on previous devices.
Looks like he's come up with the goods again...
One final question (I promise) is there any simple way to backup an existing ROM installed on the device. I've used Kaiser kitchen before, but is there an app that just reads the ROM and saves it in a state where it is simple to reinstall afterwards?
Not so angry anymore
Thank you and goodnight

Yes & no. Backing up your ROM on the device is fairly simple. However, it will be raw data & must be converted thru a pretty straight forward & fairly simple process. But there is nothing ATM that will dump the rom as a nbh that can be immediately flashed.
After being stuck in bootloader mode (noob error not following proper Hardspl instructions) without a working backup ROM for quite a few hours, I managed to restore my phone using Mtty and then install the Vodafone stock WM 6.1 from 29th Jan 08.
Why didn't they just ship this bloody ROM with the device
Bugs seem fixed and theres a slight speed increase too.
Classy upgrade...I'm no longer angry

Hello people,
I have a serious issue with my Wizard. After a lot of searching, trying things, etc, i still can't get it fixed I'm ready to give up because it's driving me nuts :/ So anyway, i bought replaced my dead battery a while ago. My Wizard was rebooting constantly and was more or less useless, and after trying a lot of things i concluded it was the battery's fault, so i replaced it.
After that i flashed to a TNT Professional ROM, and all was good. Or at least, that's what i thought. My reception was almost completely gone, i had no reception for most of the time and the times i had reception it was almost nothing. So i flashed back to the 2.19 radio, wich should be stable and one of the best. This didn't changed an awfull lot
But the worst part, my Wizard continued being unstable, even with my new battery. But this time my Wizard doesn't reboot, it crashes to a white screen. The white screen doesn't appear at once, the screen kinda fades to white, line by line. Weird stuff. So i decided to flash another rom, the WizFlo one (with Manilla).
This rom proved to be even more unstable, and still had the white screen problem.
I've had just about enough of my Wizard right now and i want to flash back to the original (T-Mobile WM5) Rom, to see if that solves the stability issue or not. The problem is, ever since i have the WizFlo rom, i can't flash anything. Not in XP, not in Vista, not in normal mode, not in bootloader mode. I can use Active Sync/Mobile Device Center, the Wizard will connect but won't sync data. And it won't flash ROM's, since i get the "PDA doesn't respond" or a "isn't connected" error :S My PDA does give some error, but the text balloon doesn't display correctly so i can't read it :S (yes, there is a WizFlo fix for this, but that doesn't even install..)
So now i'm stuck with a non-working ROM without the option to flash another rom. Can anyone help?
Hi Johrizz----
Well tell me...
Does your wizard is fine... working but!!!!!!!!! Suddendly!!!!! the screen begins to dissappear line by line and becomes white.... then stucks there and it needs to soft reset!!!??????
Well you hava battery issue your battery is bad!!! dont works!!!! turn on your device fine.... unplug your battery suddendly you see that the screen is getting the same but shutdown of course... so maybe the "new" battery shows full charge but nop! isn truth your batt is lying!!!! hahaha
I felt Like Dr. House
Try to use your old battery full it! at 100% then downgrade to the original then upgrade again to Wizflo if you want... everything with the batt at 100% dont do the upgrade process with your new batt anymore you will gonna brick your phone...
try to find a new one or try your new batt with other wizard maybe witha a friend's wizard. if your friend's wizard starts to ****ed up is your batt if is not... see it at your back case again... i have one with the same problem and when I saw that is not the prob i saw that my batt dont assets very well in mobo and scratch a little the terminals on batt and on the device diassemble it and i see the pins on the device werea little pushed more than normal... and buy a new back case these two things help me a lot without buy a new Battery cell.

I'm not quite sure i understand your English, but i don't think it's the battery. I mean, i just got a brand new one from the store :S Oh and flashing worked perfectly with the new battery, the "PDA not responding" thing is only since the WizFlo ROM. (But the crashes were even before that)
However....
Do something... if works or dont... try another thing...
Dont come and reject all!!!! Dr. Chase!
hahah I like Dr. house
Oh, really? You're not helping
Amazing!!!!

Right, now i really don't understand what you're saying...
First of all,always flash with a fully charged battery,check if the battery is fully charged.
Secondly,Flash on a WinXP machine,its highly recommended,Vista still has problems.Activesync is not required for flashing.So either disable it and delete the partnership with the phone and delete the profile.Diable Anti Virus/Firewall before flashing and try to close as many programs/applications running in the background through Task Manager.Don't use pc for any other purpose like Microsoft office or surfing the net during flashing.
Connection errors are mainly due to weak or dead battery,so confirm you have a good and fully charge battery,your new bought battery cud also be faulty,either recharge your old battery and check it out or borrow/bye a new battery of renowed brand.
Whitening of screen cud be due to many reasons,like weak battery,Flex cable underneath the screen may be faulty or detached or Digitizer of the screen going weak.
Sarcasm....
Hahahaha I have read your green (blue?) square at your signy...
I dont Understand... your not helping me Zabardast!!!

So, I was just using my Diamond to take a photo. After taking the photo, I went to take another and it said "Could not initialize camera" or something like that. I reset the phone using ResetManager, but when it came back on, the screen was not displaying anything and none of the LED's are working.
Now, the phone is working, but I can't see anything! I know it's working, because when it turns on, it vibrates, and if I plug it into my computer, it functions as a USB drive (I can see files on it).
Why is my screen suddenly not working? I tried removing the battery and putting it back in, didn't help. I tried holding the red reset button, didn't help.
Any ideas?
I'm using the most recent version of Dutty's rom (ignore what my sig says).
...quick update:
just reset tried to do a hard reset on the phone (hard to do since i can't even see anything on the screen) and turned it on.
when it came on, the LCD is working, but there is no backlight. there is a message saying something like "microp version mismatch 0" then "please upgrade latest microp firmware"
after that, it goes to the normal touchflo home screen, but there is no backlight.
i am going to try to load the latest (v3.4) version of dutty's rom to see if that works. if not, what should i do?
ok just got off the phone from someone at HTC USA support (866-449-8358).
he had no idea what the problem was. had me to a reset though the settings (clear device storage)
phone turned back on. still no backlight after completing all the steps.
then he transferred me to the "repairs" department. the guy there told me that he only deals with hardware repairs.
the repair dept told me that they didn't know what to do either, and told me to ask on www.htcwiki.com
apparently no one at HTC USA (or at least, no one i've talked to) knows about this problem.
ugh now what do i do?
What happens if you flash it with the latest original rom just to test???

haven't tried that because i don't have a copy of it...where can i download the latest official HTC rom?
at present, everything functions on the phone EXCEPT for the backlight & key LED's. the strange part is that the center (OK button) white LED does still work.
by the way, i got an email back from HTC tech support. here is what they said to do:
Thank you for your inquiry on your Touch Diamond.
I know how frustrating it can be to not have your device function the way it should. If you have any Third Paty Software on the device I would suggest removing that as a start. If that has no effect on the issue, we can hard reset the device. This will reinstall the operating system to the device and determine if it is software or hardware related. If this does not fix the issue, the device will need to be repaired.
Please follow the following steps to perform a factory default reset:
1. Press and hold both the Volume Down and OK keys (the bottom key on the left of the phone and the center, circular key on the face of the phone).
2. Insert the stylus tip into the reset hole at the entrance of the stylus holding slot (as if you were doing a regular soft reset). Once the screen goes blank release the stylus.
3. When a prompt on the screen appears asking if you wish to clear all data on the device, press the Volume Up key as indicated by the prompt.
4. Allow the device a couple of minutes to fully restart and let all device customizations finish before touching any button or tapping on the screen.
HTC Repair’s number is 1-888-617-1113. The hours of operation for HTC Repair is Monday through Friday 8 AM – 8 PM EST.
I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

no one has a solution to this problem? am i the only one who is having the microp firmware error and a non-functioning backlight?
tell you what. i'll offer $40 via paypal to whoever can give me (correct, working) info to fix the microp firmware error.
I had the same problem you had. It had been going on for a couple of months. Screen which stayed black after ending a call or after some time of inactivity it also stayed black after pressing the power button. When I soft resetted my diamond it vibrated, but the htc startup animation didn't show up, also after several soft resets.
I got my diamond only working by taking out the battery. Sometimes even when I put in the battery in after some seconds, it still remained black when I turned it on. Most of the times I had to take out the battery and leave it out for some minutes. After 5 or 10 minutes I put it in and it started the normal way. But after half a day or so I got the black screen again and had to remove the battery again.
I use original Dutch stock rom 1.93 with some tweaks. Nothing special or so....I managed to install a remote control utility so I could see the screen on my laptop. One day I got the exact same error you had. So I called HTC support in The Netherlands. They sent me an email with an UPS receipt so I could send it to EuroTwice, which takes care of the repairs for The Netherlands and Belgium. I could track the repair online and noticed that they couldn't find any error. I got my diamond back last week and when I turned it on, guess what....the screen remaind black. It did vibrate when booting, but the HTC startup logo didn't show up again. The repair ticket (the paper one I got with my diamond when I got it back) also mentioned that they couldn't find any error whatsoever and that they hadn't modified a thing on my device. Bad ****.
I then remembered that I had an extra insurance/warrenty I bought that together with my diamond, just in case. I went back to the store (something I should have done much earlier) and they tested it again, but because of the extra insurance/warrenty I got a brand new diamond. This one works perfectly. Tweaked it again and my screen doesn't turn black anymore. Haven't soft resetted my device in 4 days now.
So I should suggest to go back to the store and demand a new one.
I attaced the screenshot of the error I had...Btw...I bought my device on july 27 this year and got an new device last week. Normally you can get a new device here when the product doesn't work as it should within 3 days or something. It's worth a shot....

wow long story. so i guess i'm #$^$ed at this point.
i can't believe no one knows how to fix this, when it's obvious some sort of software/firmware error - not hardware.
i've offered a $40 reward for anyone who can fix this problem, but no bites so far.
i bought my diamond online back in june or july...i doubt the store will cover it with warranty. maybe i need a new phone
Maybe you can send the screenshot I made to HTC and ask them how to fix this. Or at least refer them to this thread. You said you bought it online. From a webshop or 2nd hand on ebay or something ? If you bought it in a webshop it's worth contacting them.
Furthermore I don't know how the legal stuff works in your country, but in The Netherlands we have a kind of protection for customers when it comes to products and their economic life. This means that for some devices the manufacturer has to repair it for free. For instance a washing machine or television. You can expect that it lasts for a minimum of 4 years. If it breaks down after one year or so, you can take it back to the store and they have to repair it. The vendor has to prove that you are to blame for the malfunction of the product, but in 99% of the cases they simply can't. Good luck with this matter.
http://www.htc.com/sea/CS_Mail.aspx
I'll pass on that screenshot...but who knows if it will help. HTC hasn't been too helpful so far...
anyone have any more info on how to maybe fix this?
anyone? anyone?
i'm still stuck with a phone that has NO BACKLIGHT!
i also just realized that the Wi-Fi is no longer working.
grrrrr....
ok $50 to whoever can fix the microp problem on my phone!
Have you installed the original rom yet?? By a full reset the original rom is not comming back only your duttys. If you did not flash it yet with original you should do it. When the problems after this stil occur you can send it to a repair shop. Normaly this is then under waranty.
No point of discussing when original rom has not been tried.
You can download original rom from the HTC site.
Grtzzzz
Hey man be sure You´re not the only one with this prob...check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423475
I got this error on saturday n till yesterday I was tryin to find out somethin to fix it....the conclusion is - yesterday I sent it for warranty repair
Even with no display and buttons I flashed stock 1.93xx ROM and also stock 1.93 SPL - nothing changed...problem remained. I was unable to do Hard-reset ´cause "reset button" didn´t work. And very good notice - a few days before this stuck I couldn´t turn on wi-fi. I didn´t realize that it has somethin with this problem till now - I see You got same symptoms
Really didn´t find the solution so only way was to send for reapir to authorized service. Off course like a warranty service n I hope that I didn´t lost warranty - couldn´t proof if flashin of stock SPL was really succesful - but PC didn´t show any errors after the whole procedure...
First I was afraid that my creen is broken, but it is only theTouchFlo...
did you ever see this?

Can somebody help me? Should I buy a mobile anti-virus, is that really necessary?
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON???
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT / UPDATE / SOLUTION:
I found the solution to this problem.
Like somebody told in this thread it is a software problem!
It seams to be an error in the ROM, that even a hardreset cannot restore.
So I flashed a newer ROM to my Diamond. It was the first time I did that, so I did not really know how it works. But at the end it was really easy.
IT IS JUST IMPORTANT TO READ ALL THE NOTES before you try to flash the ROM.
I upgraded my ROM from 1.93.xxx to 2.03.xxx but it is possible to reflash the same ROM to your device.
How it works?
Just go to http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=133&act=sd&cat=all
and download the ROM you like. At the moment there are to ROMs avaiable 1.93 and 2.03
So download the one you like (size: +- 100 MB), then READ and FOLLOW all the instructions if it is your first time.
yeah thats happened to me couple of times...it usually happens to me when i leave my diamond plugged in the charger over night...occasionally, the device freezes up or reboots over night (i know this because when i wake up, i get prompted with insert sim passcode screen)

I had something kind of like that except my screen output everything as if I was looking at it through a mirror, but the touch screen locations were still the same.

joking, have you tried to re-flash? cool it a bit (5-10 degrees)?

I have the same problem and cannot isolate why it happens, but it is a coincident it happens when plugged in charger.
Only way I found to clear it is soft reboot

its just a software related issue, not hardware (at least i dont think). But it happens to me very rarely...hasnt caused any issues.
It started 1 week ago on my phone...
I installed an Anti-Virus to check, but found nothing.
I did hardreset, now my diamond freezes less often.
But what can it be? And I dont know how to install a new ROM version, or how to complet flash the ROM...
And when I sent my diamond back to HTC this takes over a month to get it back, because here in Luxembourg they are so F***ING slow!
So, this is an edit of the message above:
I updated my Touch Diamond now from ROM 1.93.xxx to 2.03.xxx
It was kinda easy, you just have to go to the HTC Homepage, then to Diamond Support and Downloads.
THEN IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS IF IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME, so read!
I will tell you then in a few days if it had some affections to the problems I have with my diamond!
EDIT / UPDATE 1:
The phone seams to work a bit faster with the new ROM then with the older.
GSensor Calibration is already installed on this new ROM
New Version of Google Maps
And I think a newer version of Youtube.
Although some System Updates and Internet Sharing is now in choose-list when connecting to PC
Charged my G Watch R last night as I always do and put it on this morning. Noticed at my breakfast meeting that it had froze earlier on 6am when it was now gone 7.
Pressed and held the power button for 8 seconds to restart and now just get this:

UPDATE: Randomly as I'm writing this post the screen comes back to the normal face, I have a go to flick through my notifications then it freezes on email and won't move even when the power button is pressed but again is vibrating on notifications.
Obviously it will need to go back but wondering if anyone else has had similar issues?
Thanks
Try a full reset before returning it.

I havent had that issue? Odd for sure. Check over in the Moto section if anyone has.
In the brief moments the screen returned to normal I managed to initiate a factory reset, it rebooted with the LG logo and set back up but within minutes it went back to how it is in the photo.
Thanks for your replies.
Same problem as mine?

Blinking screen in dimmed mode
Skickat via Tapatalk
Our devices were meant to be together
My LG G2. Same situation. I just have to whack it on a table a once or twice and it goes back to normal.
I had that pixelated screen popping up once, while I was testing some heavy customisations on the watch maker app ... since I'm using faces with less objects I did not saw that weird screen.
I suggest to do a factory reset or to choose one of the default watch faces ... anyway, something else than what has been on when that stuff occurred.
I had the same issue with my first one
Mine did this after getting fully charged, i had it next to me on the table ready to be strapped on when it happened.
I am amazed you could reboot, mine did not even responded to the main button any more, got really hot also.
after an hour in the box (ready to be send off back to the retailer) it did a spontaneous reset, and showed 5% battery left. I turned it off and send it back, my second one developed the blinking issue in dimmed state, so also back, now on my third one. I do hope this one will be all right, i love it dearly! The recessed screen prevents the random activations i had with the LG G, bloody annoying when playing music with Music Boss, pause/play every few seconds when my sleeve touched the screen..
I wanted to post the photo of the crashed screen, but i am not allowed yet
Thanks for all the replies.
I contact Clove Technology where I purchased it from and they have replaced it, awesome service from them. New one is working fine so far, fingers crossed it stays that way.

Thank you
So far so good!
Got my new watch the other day. Works great so far, hope it will continue do so [emoji2]. Really like it !!
I got this yesterday when i tried to use Watchmaker watch face app for the first time. Reboot, happened again. Switched back to Facer. Haven't seen it again.
My match Same situation.
i need hepl.
I'm not sure if it might be an LG thing but I had the EXACT same thing start happening with my Nexus 5 a couple of weeks ago. The screen would freeze and be pixilated but the device would be working and ring and vibrate for notifications. I don't know what triggered it but coincidentally it was right after the lollipop update that it started to happen. A reboot usually (but not always) solved it. LG replaced the device as it was still under warranty.

Huh, that sounds troubling, but then again, this is the first time i hear of this on the Nexus 5, so maybe it is a software problem after all, I hope the soon to be release 5.0.2 will fix this, at least it seems to fix the battery problems some seem to have after the 5.0 update and the performance issues some see on the Nexus 7 slabs.
But as LG has swapped your N5 for a new one, i am very afraid they have a real quality issue in their production line!
S.A.M.E. ! :crying: I didn't do anything wrong with it and the screen just died after a nap.
Sent it back to Korea and it's fixed now.

Strange, for me it was the other way around: the pixelated screen just appeared out of nowhere... It did seem to respond to button actions, so I decided to keep the button pressed very long.
Result: it rebooted, and I have never had any problems since

Quick Note
i ran this device in safe mode and used for couple of hours on youtube over wifi.

Can you tell anyway to downgrade ?

"Hi Guys,
I've read this post a while ago, and I tried everything you said, but non of them worked. I have Samsung Galaxy S6, Gold, 128GB. Not edge. So, I read a lot of articles on the net and youtube. But my cell phone kept restarting from time to time and no warnings, sometimes it's just turn itself off without any warning. Most of the time I keep it on my desk where I work and suddenly it's making the song of rebooting or sometimes I find it just turned off, it could be deep sleep I never knew which of which. I tried every single solution to solve this, made back up, Restore factory defaults and it kept doing it.Probably you would say, uninstall apps that are causing the problems then I say, I have non. I only use What'sUp, imo, Tango. I don't have any other apps. It's just brand new bought from Verizon and it has of course Verizon apps and google, Samsung apps. I tried everything in the youtube, google but for vain. One day I was tampering with the settings and I found one of the settings with a weird message. I changed it then it is working 100% like a machine guys. Here is the settings and the warning message:
Go to Settings => Display and wallpaper => Screen mode => the default selection would be: Adaptive display.
When I reached this one, I read the following warning message:
"Optimize the color range, saturation, and sharpness of your display automatically. This mode may not be compatible with third-party apps."
This message draw my attention and I told myself, let's try this.
You can choose any other of the settings and non of them will show a warning message, so, I selected "AMOLED photo", I liked its colors more than cinama or basic, and voila...
I changed this settings since August 17, 2015 and I'm writing this on August 27, and never had even one restart or self turn off. it's now solid like a rock and working like a machine, very stable.. never better.
Please guys try this solution and spread the word if you find it useful.
Thanks a lot"
I'm having a somewhat similar issue. My S6 Galaxy Active is just randomly shutting down. Say I call somebody and they don't answer; I set my phone down after hitting the power button to lock the screen. Twenty minutes later I go to check it, and it's just off. I have to turn it back on and now don't know if I received a call or not (unless a voicemail was left) and it's very annoying.
This started out rare and has now become more frequent. At first it wasn't too often and generally only happened when the phone was "resting" on a desk or my bed with the screen off. In my last call with my girlfriend it shut down THREE TIMES during our conversation.
Now, during the conversation the phone was against my head so the screen was still off. I haven't ever noticed it happening with the screen on. This has started to happen within minutes of a prior shutdown, like 40 times a day, and it's insane. While I'm not 100% sure I'm about 90% that it only happens while the screen is off. It's not restarting, it shuts down completely and remains that way until I power it on again. It's not buttons being pushed accidentally as it will be set down entirely by itself and still shut down.
Another, possibly related, problem is that sometimes the screen is blank. I'll turn the phone back on and will hear the startup sounds, but there is just no picture. The screen is dead. I will have to force-shutdown the phone (volume down + power) to fix this. Sometimes it restarts with no screen again and I have to do this several times, but it always is fixed eventually. This happens much less frequently than the shutdown problem but is still an annoyance. I've also noticed some... flickering, while the phone is in use. This is even more rare but has also started to happen a bit more. I'm not quite sure how to explain it... a portion of the screen may compress, or "wrap" around. For instance, the bottom portion of the screen (let's say the bottom 1/8th of it, if you divided it with horizontal slices) will "wrap" and be shown at the top, distorted with random discolorations (generally purples, greens) along with sometimes being twisted at an angle. This usually happens for a few seconds and goes away.
My main concern is that I've taken great care of this phone. It has never been dropped outside of slight falls from pocket/hand level onto carpet. It's never been submerged or even gotten wet at all. On top of all that, it's an ACTIVE! It shouldn't really matter if it DID get wet; regardless, although it's an Active it's been cared for as if it weren't. This simply cannot be a result of physical neglect unless somebody is sneaking into my house at night to chuck my phone at a wall. The phone is... I'd say a year and a half old? I bought it when the S6 was still the newest Galaxy, I believe AT&T had somewhat recently obtained the rights to sell it. I'm sure I could find the exact date of purchase if it mattered.
I didn't want to make an entirely new thread for this, but I'm sorry if I've hijacked this one. If I should make my own thread instead I will, I just figured keeping the main boards clear of clutter was a better choice.
Thank you to anybody that can help. I'm guessing my only options are "replace it" or "take it in" but I'm hoping there's a solution. I know I can wipe the cache, factory reset, etc. I will add that I am very, very full in terms of memory; I might have around 500gb free. I'm not even sure what's really taking up all the space as all my music is in the Cloud, I'd have to check, I guess Apps? The Active not having an SD slot really sucks. I don't think low free space could result in shutdowns, I work in the IT industry and can't think of a reason why it would... unless something absurd is happening, like the phone is running out of RAM, trying to use SWAP, there's not enough space (although it would be pre-allocated and this wouldn't happen, no?) and so it shuts down? I don't know.
I'm thinking it might be as simple as a loose battery connection, as so far my tests seem to show that this DOES NOT HAPPEN while the phone is plugged in, so it seems like some sort of quick power failure? Unfortunately I am unable to check the internals myself as I do not want to void any potential warranty; I think I may have purchased the replacement plan and will be checking tomorrow. If I'm going to void my warranty it's going to be with a root, not exploratory surgery (at least not until I'm 100% sure what to look for). Anyways, thanks for any help.
