Anyone experiencing this? My phone turns off by itself all of the sudden and can't be turned on unless I soft reset it..
yeah it happened once yesterday kind of strange but it was the first time so I don’t think it’s a very big problem
I've experienced it 3 times now. I will try a Hard reset to see if it helps
Can all 3 of you list the applications installed
I have never had this problem but if the 3 of you come together, you might find all 3 have a program in common installed and that is what is causing it.
I have only installed AmazeGPS..
installed only Sygic McGuider if the other also has installed a nav program that auto runs if you disconnect the usb cable from the pc or remove and replace the memcard then it has something to do with it but dont really thinks so
I've noticed the phone isn't actually off as the green light is blinking because of a SMS. But the phone doesn't react to any keys pressed
happened to me as well.
Its a rom bug.
Sometimes the screen switches off. I have noticed it though when i leave the gallery open, or if the phone switches off when using the camera.

Yesterday and today I have had a little issue. When I turn it on it boots up fine and when it gets to the htc screen it dims and when it is fully booted the backlight is pretty dim and the slideout does not make a sound nor does the screen change orientation?? I try to turn it off and the hour glass just spins and I have to remove the battery. I have tried soft reset with no results, but if I do a sync it clears it up and all works great?? I have not tried a hard reset thought I would check with you guys first for any ideas???? Thanks

if you've installed 3rd-party apps, i'd remove one at a time to see if they could be causing the problem... if that doesn't work, then a hard reset may be the best route. good luck!
Thanks I will give that a shot. Must be something at startup.

i had the same problem after tomtom frozed up my device. soft resets just resulted in nothing working but it also boots fine when i'm connected to my computer using activesync. i used the backup program that came with with phone and went back a week and that seemed to solved the problem.
Thanks I wish I had of tried that but I finally did a hard reset and that worked. I also left tomtom off for a bit and see how it goes. The only thing different is I traveled one time zone and when I returned all the trouble started. My computer also switched time zone when I synced???? Wierd....

I have had the same problem with my vodafone V1615, was working fine, first hing that seemed to happen to me was i plugged in the wired head set and the screen switched off and would not come back on. Did a normal reset and came back on but power button would not switch the phone off or on. TomTom and Sprite backup both would not work along with other programs.
Tried several soft resets all exactly same, boot up but wont run and power button not working, also the screen stays dim.
Only thing other than the head set was i plugged it in to TomTom Home but did not download anything, i did try a backup using it but that failed.
Anyone else managed to clear this without hard resetting as my only backup is just after i got the phone before i installed the full UK maps so a real pain in the ass.

I tried removing all third party stuff one at a time and soft resetting and still the same problem you have. Once I did the hard reset it was fine...Pain in the A.. wish I knew what the glitch was????

what did you do *before* your diamond stopped turning on?? unless you had a completely unpredicted system meltdown of your diamond for injecting it with super high voltage. it is rare for it to not power off unless you did something ... so please elaborate so we can assist better.
Ok, yesterday i use the phone like anothe normal day, in the night i turn off the phone, and in the morning, when i tried to turn on, i have this problem, for example, when a tried to do a soft, hard reset, the screen is in black, when a conect the phone to the usb the screen is black, is, i left the phone alone, in 3 minutes the black screen again, i don´t know why.
any LED activity when plugged into USB?
I think it is a major manufacture problem
I had the same problem, taking out the battery waiting a while and inserting it back, will solve the problem for some time but it will happen again.
Finally I sent it to the HTC support center.
I don't understand why HTC didn't recall.
If you'll search this forum you'll see the same problem in different stages, some times it's a blank screen but the phone will ring and some are just freeze.
Hi, I've had my Diamond for about a month soon and it started earlier this week by not wanting to come on at all. Been taking out the battery for a few days but eventually got fed up and did a hardware reset tonight. Not long after that it just suddenly turned itself off and I couldn't get it back on again. I thought I'd pack it back into the box it came in and send it back tomorrow and took out the sim card. After that it came to life again.
Happened to get a call after that and that call was suddenly disconnected without any reason.
So I am not very happy with this phone at the moment. Would appreciate any advice or if you know for sure it can't be sorted maybe I should send it back and ask for another one?

Nothing, but one time the pc detect the phone, but later nothing.
No Led activity either on mine when it went dead.
When the Phone goes dead, try cooling the phone down as much as possible, and try starting it up again.....
There is a problem with the HTC Diamond in that it can cook itself (excessive heat), due to the auto over temp function crashing and not switching off the phone..... (That's what I have been told at least...)
I know over around 5 Diamonds so far that have had this issue, where the symptoms slowly get worse...
Have a look at this thread....

PLEASE P.M. me if you have any of the symptoms described in the thread...
I have been TRYING to get my Diamond fixed under warranty now for 2 months with little success... And I kinda need to know how wide spread this problem is to proceed any further.
could not turn on after blank screen ...
Hello,
I've had the same issue as rmorera, and after I hard reseted the phone all went o.k.. BUT after I reinstalled part of the small apps I use, the phone started to go off again. So, the problem seems to be in the software ...
I believe the cause might be the SRS WOW which I use. I installed the .cab, then the .reg file provided (ufortunatelly I don't remember from which thread I got the files ...). And shortly after, the phone stopped working. I uninstalled the software, and now it works! Could it be that the SRS WoW did this?
I tried to reinstall the SRS WoW and I found that if enabled for "Internal (Stereo)" instead of "Headphones" it gets my phone shut when the WM blanks the screen. If I select the "Headphones" options the issue seems to disappear.
Still, the SRS WoW damages the volume buttons action, but I think this issue is on another thread ...
hello guys, i hope someone out there can help me
I got an HTC Touch Diamond from my friend, he gave it to me and told me that it didnt work for several weeks, and that he wants to get rid of it and sold it to me for some bucks.
It never fell down, is in great physical condition etc, so i thought the problem has to be due to the rom/software.
the device behaves really strange.
- Sometimes, when i turn it on, the screen keeps black, but the rom loads, and when it's loaded, it shows the homescreen, but without backlight.
- Sometimes, after this happens, i try to do a hard-reset (voldown, center, reset) but this doesnt work at all! I know how a hard reset works and how it looks like, but it wont work on this device
- Sometimes, everything works well, the device loads his content, the backlight is on and i can flow through the tabs. That's the point when i try to flash the rom. But i cannot manage a proper active-sync connection.
When i plug it on my pc, the device manager appears (vista) and tries to sync etc.
syncing works, but the connection only last for a few minutes (3 to 5) then it shuts the conection down.
also i should say that the light of the keypad behaves very strange too. Sometimes, there is no light at all, even not when the device is off and plugged in for charging. sometimes, all 4 buttons are lighting, but the center is not. and the last case was, that only the phone-button (left down corner) was lighting, screen was black.
I really dont know what to do. I cannot manage to do a hard reset, it just doesnt work. I push the voldown and the center button, then push the reset....but the display doesnt show me what i want to see (the white screen with the warning message...)
Also, when i try to format the internal memory in the options, the phone can't do it, the rom freezes and the touchscreen doesnt work anymore.
Also updating the rom/hardspl and radio wont work right now, because i cant manage to get a connection with my pc that last long enough
Please help guys! :'( Thanks in advance!
I think you can flash the rom from the Internal Storage. Try to search for it on the ROM section. In this way you won't be dependant on the active sync connection. The only problem with this is getting it on your internal storage in the first place. You could disable the active sync and use the other option (device drive or something like that).
hi you should try this... it works for me. the problem is not the same but i think it may work for you to

Tonight my G1 displayed some very odd behavior. It was running normally and I pressed the power button to make it sleep and I set it aside. About half an hour later I picked it up and tried to turn it on by pressing menu. The phone gave no response other than lighting up the five buttons on the bottom. I tried sliding the keyboard out and the keyboard lit up as well, but the display remained black. Plugging it in via USB to my computer did absolutely nothing (no sounds, no notification light, etc.), and I got the same result when I plugged it into the charger. I finally decided to take the battery out in order to turn the phone off, and then put it back in and pressed the power button. The phone booted up normally, and now everything seems to be working in proper order. I am slightly concerned, however, as I have never had this behavior in the year that I have owned my G1. I am running Cyanogen 4.1.999 with the Hard SPL boot loader. I am unsure whether this behavior has anything to do with the mod and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar. I do realize that if my phone is bricked it is my fault, and I want to determine if this was simply a freak accident or if I need to do something differently with the phone.
first of all if your phone was bricked you wouldn't be able to use it. as for your problem it doesnt sound too serious so if i were you i wouldn't worry about it. but if it does happen again reflash your phone and if it happens after that, pitch it to cyanogen to see if there is a problem with the rom.
I do realize that it isn't bricked now, but I am worried that this behavior could mean that I am pushing the phone too hard. I am mostly curious as to whether or not anyone else has experienced similar behavior from their G1.
Turn off compatibility mode in spare parts.
don't worry this is a common problen It happens to me all the time any hero I flash plays nice for about a day. and then boom no problems with cyan!
I had the same problem, but unfortunately my G1 is still not working properly.
In the morning, turning off the alarm I left the phone for 5 minutes. An attempt to turn it on did not work: there was no reaction on display, although the buttons were lighting up. I restarted phone taking the battery out and now I have following:
- keyboard fully closed: no reaction/black display, buttons are lighted up
- keyboard open: I can do everything: change ROM/make call/write messages/Internet/GPS/... - everything what is possible to do with rooted G1
- keyboard partially open (visible only lowest row with such buttons as ALT, SHIFT, SPACE): similar to 'open' but with changed orientation
Can anyone help/advise? Did almost everything: ROM changed, full wipe, recovery
Really need help guys. My SGS is doing REALLY funny things...
I just got my SGS a few days ago and so far all I've been doing is installing aps on it (no messing with rooting/flashing).
Today, I was trying to get Keis to work. I reinstalled Keis and unplugged and repluggeed my phone a few times and managed to get it to recognise.
Here's the problem, now it ALWAYS says USB connected on the top left hand corner. Everything seems ok except after a few minutes of the screen turning off, I can't turn it back on again. Absolutely no activity. If I try to turn it back on immediately after it goes off, it can come back on again.
Things get weirder. If I remove my battery or turn it off, I can't turn it back on again (it flashes a loading symbol in the middle of the screen for half a second then nothing happens). To turn it back on, I have to plug it in and wait for the charging screen to come on. THEN it comes on.
I've tried doing a factory reset but nothing changed... Is there a hardware fault? Perhaps flashing will solve the problem?
ps. When it's off, I can enter download mode but not recovery more unless I plug it in...
Sounds like a hardware problem on phone, But I beleive its more of a Grounding problem with your usb. Can you try it with another port or computer? Also does your pc/laptop have a grounding pin for its power supply? I noticed I get odd power spikes when I travel to asia as their power is not always good. You can always buy a surge protector for your computer and one for your samsung charger. Other then that see if you can get new KIEs (I Don't EVER use it as its crap and never reconizes my phone)
Also if you want to kick up a storm, get the thing replaced as it sounds like a phone hardware problem as it should not crash when you take battery out. Could be battery but better to change the whole thing.
Try activating USB DEBUG in settings. Check the option and restart.
It should solve the problem. You can UNCHECK again the option and the phone should work also without USB debug activated
It will happen again, it seem to me a problem with some USB port, or some cables, activating a *waiting for USB* option BEFORE the ROM loading
Thanks
Thanks for the advice guys. Last night it suddenly started behaving itself after the 10th or so hard reset *phew*
Very strange problem and I think I will stay well clear of Kies from now on... Samsung make a good phone but lousy software...
