phone randomly does reset back to factory settings - HD7 General

need help... HTC HD7 radomly resets itself. This is a hard reset as I lose all settings and accounts. Any suggestions ?
Added to post: I also now noticed that after I have manually done the hard reset myself and started to set up my phone again with personal settings and contacts, it prompts me with a message at top of screen. It reads:
"To ensure you have the best experience we periodically need to reset your phone."
Of course I hit the cancel button. I also now notice that if I don't hit the cancel button right away, the phone will reset itself and I lose all settings and contact (hard reset).

After hours of burning up time and searching.... I found the instructions in XDA (search for DEMO version). The RUU I found works like a charm !! All issues seem to be fixed.

Thanks...I ended up finding it....
Anyone else seeing this problem? I read someplace where some stores ran out of devices and ended up selling their display model. The Display models would have the DEMO version on them.

Message program does not appear need help

I'm starting to have issues with my messaging program a lot lately and thought I can see if anyone has some sort of insight for this.
My Tilt is unlocked and my service is T-mobile. This problem occurred a few days ago and now I can't seem to open the program to check my email or even my text message (since its integrated together). I do not even get any alerts for this which is another huge problem. Would anyone know what could cause this issue? If it would be any help when I select the message program I notice its busy working but it does not open the program. Please, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem Twice. Do you have any mods on your phone or are you running the stock rom? In any case the only remedy I found was a hard reset. Good luck to you maybe you can find another route.
First off I AM Mr. Jimmy... Not you.. lol.
Now, soft reset if you haven't. Then pull your battery for 30 seconds and reinsert. If that does not work go into your File Browser go into your Windows directory find tmail.exe open it and see if it will open. If not time to hard reset. If yes delete your email settings and readd them and see... try a new shortcut if it works through windows.
Well time to bring this back from the dead. Since I continue to have problems not to mention I can't even access my SMS at all now.
dantegl36 - no mods at all I am running the updated ROM version thats out.
JimmyMcGee - Yes you may be the Mr.Jimmy but I have the name to back it up LOL Any case I've done what you've mentioned and yet I still have the same problem. Even a hard reset I tend to run into this issue at least once a month which is pretty lame.
Would anyone recommend if I just back up all my stuff including rom, radio, etc and just have the phone work off a home brew version instead?
I'll make sure i'm on top of this thread more. Thanks

I have the same problem yesterday after tweaking the hide sim contact and activate the burst & sport mode for camera. However, not too sure if the above tweaks was the caused.
Did a hard reset and its back to normal.
I have the same problem since yesterday night onwards. Didn't do any tweak or change of setting. This just happened out of nothing. Anyone can solve the problem? (other than doing a hard reset).

did you happen to install CE Star on the phone?
I did but it was about 3 weeks ago and the phone was ok.
I believe the issue lies with it. If you have not register your copy of CE Star, this might happen. To verify this, uninstall CE Star and see if the problem goes away.
its is CEStar issue. pls register your CEstar.
Registered and solved. Thank you!
Thanks......I have solved mine too......Well done !!

[Q] Distorted colors after ROM update

I updated to the ROM on HTC's website under software download. Now, I have distorted colors after a soft reset. Hard resets don't fix it either. The only fix that works SOMETIMES is if you put the PPC to sleep via the power button & then wake it back up. This sometimes resolves the issue. All 3rd party apps worked fine on the previous (shipped) ROM & I haven't changed anything. Before this msg, I tried all the avenues in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3638336#post3638336
although it's more or less for the newbs, which clearly I don't consider myself to be, lol. Hmmmmm............. Any clues? Thanks in advance
I had this same problem, but it was caused by trying to use a 1.56HSPL rom with a 1.14 HSPL. Once I flashed the 1.56, worked like a charm
Tried it both ways, bro. I was unsuccesfull everytime. Believe it or not, I would prefer a little screen that pops up & says "DENIED!" At least I would know that it didn't work. Lol, thanks for the reply, though.
Did you get this sorted out yet? If not PM me and I'll help you over AIM/MSN.

Common error which has been commented on numerous times. You can find help in cRaCKwHoRe's guide and also more info on it in the wiki here.
I'm glad to see cRaCKwHoRe is already helping you.
In future try a little research and read up on everything before attempting anything.
MOD's, please close thread!!

n hey tulsa is a nice place..
had been there fr ovr an year

No notification light

So the light works when charging, so that rules out a hardware issue (i also did the hardware test from the dialer and it was fine). However, I have the settings enabled and it doesn't work for anything. Tested both gmail and sms. Nothing. I do have 8sms installed and use that as my sms app, but I tried reenabling the stock prone and still nothing. Any ideas?

Happened to me too. Here's what I found....doing a master factory reset (power down phone,hold volume down and power at same time), if skipping through all the screens, not setting up any accounts, then they worked. If I was to master factory reset and setup accounts ie. mail, google, etc. rather than skipping, that's what was borking the lights. Tested 3 times to verify. So my recommendation is to master factory reset and skip through all of the setup options. Reboot phone and then go in and setup your accounts and you should be good! Let me know if the same thing happens to you.

Yup. Fixed it. Went though and did the HTC setup, but skipped adding google account or anything else (skipped dropbox just to be safe) and it works now. Now I just have to get everything just so again. Yay for me. Thanks for the help though. Someone should really make a sticky about this or PSA or something so people that do resets to fix 4.3 weirdness (like I did) don't have to go through yet another reset.

Sweet! Glad it worked for you, crazy thing is I bought the phone Saturday and it did this behavior before I even took the update. That phone did other weird things to. After the last factory reset it blew the camera! When in Zoe mode, try to take a picture and it would force close. Got fed up and exchanged for new one. The second one had no 4g period! Reprovisioned and all that good stuff, but no 4g anywhere. Went to a different store being as I was 2 for 2 so far to get another one. They verified no 4g, gave me another and all is good! Guess 3rd time was a charm, no weirdness with this one at all...bad ass phone to say the least! Glad I went back to HTC.

Question Oppo find x3 pro always-on display doesn't work after android 12.

Hello everyone, I got the update 2-3 days ago and among the improvements I realised that the always-on display does no longer turn on. I tried changing the resolution, turning the feature on and off, restarting the phone, nothing..
Anyone else with the same issue or with ideas how to fix it?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
do you try rest your phone
Have u done factory reset after update? It is advised to do so after major updates.

Not sure if you meant to type rest or reset, but I did try resting it, however I haven't reset it. I think I'll go ahead and do that

No, I think I'll go ahead and do it. I just wish that the built in back up feature was able to include the pictures/videos and the music, not only contacts, settings and apps.
Do you know a way to that on the phone itself? Because I don't have a pc available to me right now

Google drive upload? MS One Drive. They have an option to automatically bakcup any image/video from your phone. Btw. I suggest setting up applications from scratch - not using any backups.
I am having the same issue. It was working after the update but in my case, it stopped working after I factory reset the device. I hope they issue an update soon to solve this.
Today I received the update, I wiped the phone and the Aod stopped to work
I got my update this morning and was gutted that it broke the AOD, however, I found this fix in another thread, worked for me.
Hi, to solve the problem with the always on display you need to install this fix:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iDluKHpyeMUQjtK3ONS9lNrDy2bnynPs/view
and then restart the smartphone.
it worked on my find x3 lite (IT).
I hope I was helpful
I shouldn't need to remind anyone that installing the above is a MAJOR security risk.
I would also be very careful about it.
Worked absolutely perfect for me!
Me too, I uninstalled straight after, still fixed.
All fine here
If you have this issue then factory reset the phone but do not restore it via Google backup on setup.
If you restore through Google you will lose AOD.

Can I have more details about this APK (source of the APK, permissions, actions, etc.)?
There's a lot of Realme GT family users with the same problem with AOD, and should be useful if can solve the problem without the factory reset
Thank you

Sorry, I don't have any details, other than what was in the link I'm afraid. I'm normally super paranoid with this sort of thing. I suppose I trusted it because it was on this site
Sorry, I've only just realised I didn't give the link to the original thread, hang on . . .

Thank you for the kind reply.
Please in which thread/post you found this link? Posted from which XDA user?
I'm sure that you want to help, but I think it will better to be a little paranoid, to avoid security Issues
I scanned it on Virustotal, and it show in the certificate "Android Team" from "Oplus.com", and [email protected], but after a short search I didn't found a website or a confirmation about that's OnePlus.
Then it requires android.permission.CREATE_USERS (maybe to fix some rights problem that origin the problem), and another thing oplus.permission.OPLUS_COMPONENT_SAFE.
Thank you
Hi
On my Oppo Find X5 is it still not working with the fix. Is there any other way to have it? (the corner ring light not working)
