just a quick one, my X1 with standard software has started to randomly reboot which is getting on my nerves!
Its also losing new messages when it does this. so any ideas before I test its bouncability on the wall
If you have installed an app recently, or can pinpoint something you've done, try to uninstall/undo that.
I would personally hard reset (search on the X1 board for the how to via the hardware keys, or just choose Clear Storage from the Settings/System menu).
Make sure you've at least sync'ed all your data to your PC first. Then connect back up, and contacts etc will be restored.
If you haven't already, try SPB backup (or Resco's , or Sprite's) - they are all time-limited trials so no problem with a quick backup-restore sequence. You can choose just about anything to backup from your device with these.
If you're feeling adventurous, consider trying one of the more popular ROMs, you won't look back!
I've tried the custom ROMs in the past but decided to go back to stock.
Already hard-reset it and was still doing it, and now I've gone to update it (its back to stock) on the SE update service and its still rebooting.
Its now stuck on the four colour screen!!! I am really hating this phone
I've now managed to get the Stock ROM on but when it comes to installing the Stock SPL both my pc brings up a blue screen (never done before) and phone dies again.
I've also noticed when I clear storage it turns off but won't come back on, only way it does come back on is by removing the battery
Any help guys??
mine kept doing this. Sent it to SE and they replaced the mobo.
yeah gone today, see what happens
Had same problem while using stock and custom roms . Then i searched xda for stable & fast rom and i did it. Not advertise but i really like 826x rom =)

I know this is my first post here but I've done my best to search the forums and I haven't found anything that looks like it helps me.
I just got my AT&T Tilt yesterday. It came unlocked (I'm using it with T-Mobile) and has an HTC ROM installed as well as various other apps (Ms. Pacman, TomTom 6, SuperDoku, etc.). I had some issues with it locking up yesterday (similar to what I'm experiencing now but to a much, much lesser degree) when I was playing around with it but those issues somehow corrected themselves.
This morning I installed the Tilt keyboard fix that TaurusBullba posted on here back in June to fix some mapping issues. Since I installed and soft reseted, everything has been going kinda haywire. The Wi-Fi turned itself off and I can't turn it back on. When I slide out the keyboard the orientation stays in portrait mode. When I try to shut down the phone using the power button it hangs forever. Now, actually, half the time I press the power button nothing happens at all.
I've tried uninstalling the CAB but that didn't fix anything at all. I'm afraid to try a hard reset because, from my understanding, I'm going to lose everything that came pre-installed on my phone for me. I should probably also add that last night I installed the Google Maps CAB with no problems whatsoever. Is there some simple solution I'm overlooking? Thanks much!
I would advise that if you have tried soft resets to try and resolve the issues and it hasn't worked, then perhaps a hard reset?
It sounds as if the software you have installed as either caused the problems or exacberated them (ie made them worse).
With hard reset it wipes everything back to when you got it. If you are able I would suggest that you plug it into the computer and make sure ActiveSync backups up your contents. You may also want to use this get all the files on the main memory either to the storage card or to you're PC.
As this is yo're first post I don't know how au fait you are with the above that I have mentioned
The preloaded apps will be reloaded again. You won't have an empty ROM if you do a hard reset. It will be as if you just flashed the ROM again.
Thanks for the replies guys. I went ahead and did a hard reset and it looks like the only thing I lost (or at least the only thing I miss) was TomTom. I've already reinstalled that using a link I found on here, and everything seems to be good to go.
I still have no idea what might have caused the problems though, so I'm afraid that they might come back or I might repeat some dumb mistake I made. I guess I'll just have to live with that for now.
clear storage / hard resets no big deal, just expect to do it every other week while you're finding all the cabs that work (or dont work) for you..
I generally clear storaged every week when i first got my tilt until I found all the app's I liked that didn't have side effects
hey everyone i bought a tilt, but i've had some problems and wonder what these might mean, its been 2 times already this happened,the phone would refuse to wake up when i push the power button, but the led's would blink, bluetooth and service led, also when i have done some reg edits or installed some things i've had the phone freeze at startup and had to take out the battery and start it up again to get it going, and once in a while when i do a soft reset once in while it thinks my battery is low when its actually like 90 percent and shuts down my phone, but once i turn it off completely and turn it back on its fine.
IT means a lot of things since you started hacking the registrys and installed some stuff.
Exactly, what did you hack and install?
I would take this as an opportunity to flash a new rom to it...
After reading up on how to hardspl it etc.
I too agree that something went wrong along the way in the process of doing some mod. First step would be to hard reset the phone. Be sure to stick the stylus in the reset button and soft reset when the "Installation will begin in 3 seconds" dialog box pops up so you don't have the ATT bloatware. If you really want to flash a ROM I would recommend the new ATT ROM as it is FAST! (Again, be sure to soft reset when the box pops up to avoid the bloatware!)

well i guess i need to reflash, i had the first att rom, the one that came with the phone, but i upgraded to the new rom as soon as i saw it, but i did a sprite back up of the old rom and put the backup on the new rom, would that have caused problems, because when i did reg edits and such before i never had problems

I don't trust backup programs to be able to restore my device after I've significantly changed my phone's operating system. Putting things back the way they were may have ill effects on new registry entries and such that a new ROM invariably makes. Its like saying you've upgraded your computer from Windows XP to Vista, and you want to take a tape backup to restore your software. If you want it done right you need to reinstall everything so it is configured for the new OS.

I have to reboot my Tilt daily b/c it becomes uber slow. It takes FOREVER to respond to anything. Some things don't even respond. I have taken off everything that wasn't stock. Even reset the phone back to factory settings. I'm on WM6.1 the ONLY program I have running is Active Sync and I have to have that running for work.
I emailed HTC and they said to upgrade to 6.1 to which I told them I already was and they never responded. Is there an app to reboot my phone every day at a certain time? I'm about to throw this thing in the trash.
This is my 2nd one doing the exact same thing.
Oh wait... Can I volunteer my trash can?? I have never had that problem. But then I don't run stock ROMs.
So, if I upgrade my ROM it could potentially fix the isuue? Got a recommendation on a ROM to run? I'm not to up on that stuff.
First step: Flashing your First Rom (For Noobs) "read read & read again"
With regards to ROM choice it's a personal choice and you will find the ROM you like.
Take a read of the ROM threads.

Sweet, thanks!
I never had this issue, and i'm running the HTC stock ROM.
Well, I finally said screw it and decided to quit being a wuss and install a ROM. I wanted to try the HyperDragon IV, but the download link wouldn't work. So, I did this one http://sakajati.com/blogs/2008/11/hyperdragon-iii-raphael/
Been up and running for about an hour. Just getting my exchange email accounts finished and populating. So far so good. We'll see how long between reboots I can go.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
you should reboot daily anyhow
I have had my TyTN II with stock rom for over a year now and I have never had to reboot without it being my fault, ie. installing something that doesn't agree with my device. Mine runs happily along all the time.
I have SK Tools installed and with it comes FreeupRam, which I run periodically to....well....free up ram...hehehehe.
Often some plugins do not agree with our devices, causing havoc, resets etc. This was my problem at one time. Now I am running Spb Mobile Shell and it is sweet, snappy and I have it customised just the way I like it. I found that phoneAlarm and HTC Home Customiser were the biggest culprits. Since I removed them and started using Spb Mobile Shell, I do not have those problems.
I also recommend that you purchase a programme called SafeMode. You set the time in seconds to boot into safe mode. It displays when the splash screen appears. This has saved me lots of frustration and unnecessary resets.
Here is the URL where you can buy it and it is well worth the US$12.95!!!

Never
i never had this problem, i may restart my kaiser after 10 days or more, i am using Athenos WM6.1 ROM
Nope... My last flashing/hard reset was about 4 months ago, I have ~40 programs installed and don't usually reboot more than once every 1-2 weeks, unless it's because I've installed/uninstalled/changed something that requires me to.
Using original stock 6 ROM, no need to reboot. But i noticed that from time to time Kaiser just turns off, wtf?
Is that because of the ROM i'm using, anyone with similar experience?
phone goes off, no questions asked. I tried to shake sim card holder, suspecting it has something to do with it. Sometimes i have to remove battery for a while, then hold reset with stylus, then to turn it off. Can it be fixed maybe, or will flashing help?
Thanks

Could your power button be sticky, or jammed?
Well, I didn't notice, it just sits on the desk, and goes off, then sometimes i just press power and it turns on, sometimes reset button needs to be pushed and/or battery removed, then just power button and it goes on again. I was suspecting most on sim holder, but testing it with fingers couldn't produce similar error. I'm really considering moving to athenes rom, but must figure out backup system in case i want to go back to stock with current settings and programs.
i know alot of you all dont want me to start a new thread but my phone is acting crazy and i need help ASAP its giving me plenty of problems but only going to ask to help a couple....
1.) i installed psShutXP Power key on my phone and it worked great and actually still does but after it has been on my phone my phone will soft reset at any given moment(mainly when im on a phone call)...i have uninstalled and installed to see if that was the problem and unistalled again and still no fix please help on this problem first
2.) sometimes when i hit my power key to wake up the phone from sleep mode it gives me either an all black screen or an all white screen so i will have to put it back to sleep and try 2 or 3 times
P.S. i own the htc fuze from at&t in the US and same ROM as it came with...PLEASE help and dont flame and i will not add another thread of this kind again
No worries friend. This site is here to help.
Your best bet is to try a hard reset. This will wipe the device and set it back to factory fresh state. Just like you took it our of the box.
The downside to this is all of your data and programs in memory will be wiped out. The SD card will be fine, but to be safe, remove it befre you hard reset.
To hard reset, do the following:
1. turn the device off.
2. press and hold the volume down and Enter Button (round one on front)
3. Soft reset and keep holding down volume.
4. follow instructions on the screen.
Since you are faced with this, you may want to try flashing a new ROM or deleting some of the ATT "bloat" that comes pre installed. Check here for new ROM advice. Check here for a lighter set-up of the factory ROM.
Good luck.
Doug M.
is it any other way i might be able to fix without hard reset...just want that to be a last resort
P.S. my phone have seen some water it fell in outside during a rain storm so didnt know if that would have something to do with it also but this also happen a couple of months ago
It sounds like you have already tried the normal procedures. Your best bet for future stability is to start over. If you follow one of the 2 guides in my earlier post, you will have a much more stable device going forward. It takes a bit of time, but is worth it. Once you get the hang of it, it gets easier.
Doug M.
just try to hard reset it. you always can go back to factory ROM.
now im using wm 6.5, and my device performance is spectacular. XDA is the best.
thx guys.....i will try the energy rom 3 wm 6.5 that i have heard alot about
energy rom is a good choice and my current rom .
don't worry , once you figure out the rom scene you will hard reset all the time and will learn how to backup your contacts and texts .
a good thing is that nrg's rom even has a good restoring program built in . Pim restore . i use it religiously .
If you run into problems flashing another ROM or the phone still "acts" up, the drop or the water may have damaged some circuitry in the device.
You may need to restore to a factory state and send it in for service.
thx guys i was out of town.........but yea i got a replacement coming in so back to the drawing board with adding all the software i had on the old one to the new one but once again thx
my phone would turn off randomly and when slid it shut. bent the battery pins out a bit and all good now. just thought I'd add that as a possible problem/solution
lol wish you told me a few days sooner i just filed insurance claim and got a new but thx anyway because i might just have to do that with phone....im not hard on phones just bad luck if you know what i mean
Other things to do in the future if you come across similar problems:
1. Uninstall the last app you installed prior to having the problems.
2. See if problem is still there...
3. Repeat 1&2.
Always back up your data... There are some very nice backup programs available.
If above doesn't work.
Hard Reset and load programs one at a time after hard reset until problem reappears...or hopefully does not reappear.
If you load a bunch of apps on your phone, it can be more difficult to narrow down because of the amount of changes made by each app it may not return to the same state after uninstalling a program. That is why Hard Reset can be your friend...
Ok, first off ive scanned xda and cant see an answer to this specifically, hence the post.
Love the Kaiser-14months and using L26 Diamond Build
Lost the phone one night while worse for wear and bought another on ebsay-cus its a great phone. This morning new phone and where the problem begins-
Phone arrived. Good nick and standard O2 rom is onboard- no issues. Had my sim in for a while, and texting/phone/apps are normal. Now i had an old Sprite Backup file from my old phone from March so i straight away tried to back up. I didnt consider any other factors.
Now however im stuck. The phone boots. The L26 screen and music come up but eventually i hit a new message on white screen:-
"The device is unable to boot because you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source.Press send to rest your device... blah blah"
Pressing send,doing nothing or hard resetting the device just keeps me going on the same cycle. I take it because i backed up a new ROM, i should have flashde this phone first. Never thought.
Can i get back to basics again?? Help.Im using a Palm treo at min and hate it.
