If my phone randomly shuts off/reboots, this means...?

Bad Kernel? Bad Radio? What?
I've used quite a few different ROMs. (Enom, Kang [CM], MIUI, and most recently, Rodriguezstyle's miui.)
But, the problem keeps happening, despite wiping between each ROM.
is it the radio? or the kernel? I think it might be, but I'm fairly certain I have the right kernel...and I upgraded my radio when I went to Froyo...
Gah.

I dunno about the kernel, but from what I've heard, if you have the wrong radio your n1 will be bricked. So I guess it's not the radio.

It's not a problem, I've been living with it. It's just rather annoying...
Maybe it's an app I have installed? Or things aren't...done right? Augh idk.

Change the Kernel and that will fix it, pershoot's worked the best for me.

Do you have to pull the battery when it reboots?

I've changed it to many kernels. Right now i'm using this one:
2.6.35.4-950mV-BFS-SVS-AIX-720p-Monks-082710

No. I will be chilling on the phone, and then I will randomly see the boot image.

if your nexus is still less than a year old, get a new replacement device

watch the logcat output (adb logcat), and also kernel messages http://bootloader.wikidot.com/linux:android:kmsg

Are you overclocked?

Not that I'm aware of. I don't even have setcpu installed anymore.
So unless the roms themselves overclock, then no. I upgraded my
kernel, but it has done a random shut off once since then. But it's
not that often. Not as often as it was at least.

Do you have more than one battery to try? My phone locked up or randomly rebooted several times a day when I was using Cyanogen 6rc1, but it only did it with one battery and ran fine with the other. The problem went away after I updated CM though.
My theory is that my "bad" battery is damaged slightly enough that it conflicted with something particular in that rom (also happened with 3-4 different kernels). I don't know anything about batteries, but if that's accurate, I don't see why a battery couldn't be damaged enough to conflict with all roms.
It doesn't sound like your problem exactly, but might be one of the simpler things to try, especially if you have a spare or could borrow one or something.

Try to extract the SD-card and Power ON the phone without it. If the phone works
well in that condition, problem solved.
Something like this happens to me one time, all I do was to format the entire SD-card
in my iMac with the Disk Utility, filling all the space with zeros (0) for be sure all the
data was erased correctly. Then I make the partitions again, flash a ROM and all
is fine now.
Good luck!

I had the same problem. Phone would reboot during many tasks. This would happen with any ROM even stock. I sent the phone to htc and they changed the motherboard under warranty. I noticed it first started to happen with robo defense and then other apps such as YouTube or browsing the net. I wasn't able to use the phone while it was charging or it would reboot.

I bought my nexus one in may. It got worse over time and i had it repaired in september

If you buy it off from google store, it comes with a 1 year manufacture warranty, call HTC and get a replacement device

I don't believe I ever filled out the warranty, can I still get it replaced?

Sorry for the double post, but I'm really curious...about the warranty thing.

This is my suggestion as well. A friend of mine had this problem. There was a corrupt video on his sd card that caused the entire issue.

[Q] Faulty Touchscreen has it been fixed yet?

Hi all, very excited about my HTC desire I bought my wife a Nexus one. Found that the touchscreen randomly fails and starts jerking around . After google it I found that the issue is very well known . I sent it for warranty repair, they kept it for a month and returned it with the same problem ... I come here now to ask whether you guys know if there is a fix for that or maybe a custom ROM that has managed to fix this issue?
Thanks

Its more of a hardware problems than a software problems. With that said I don't experience it as much on CM7 rom.

It will never be fixed. As he said it is a hardware problem and will always occur.

Thanks... oh well, CM7 it is then...

its been hitting me hard lately before i didnt experience any of it but every now and then i get some weirddd stuff going on

It's also better with a case. It prevent me from wrapping the tips of my fingrs around and touching the screen.
You our N1 sucks at multitouch

It happens to me when the phone gets hot using the navigation in the car... It occurs to me that if you can run some sort of screen calibration while is hot the problem will be less recurrent.
Also, I notice that the phone tracks 2 points on the touchscreen... so I would sacrifice one touch point if the one left works...
Would anyone know of a screen calibration app (or something) or how to deactivate a second touch point on the screen?...

Anything over 2.2.1 I believe, makes the problem a little less bad. But just so you know disabling multitouch won't help because back on 2.1 we didn't have multitouch and the problem was still there.

I had this problem when I was using an old, slow 2Gb sc card. When I switched to a faster SDHC card the touch problems went away. I think the phone kept waiting for the slow sd card to respond.

Hi, new to the forum.
I picked up a Nexus One about a month ago and have been having the same touchscreen problems, with no solution out there anywhere, until now I hope. I'm gonna pick up a class 10 MicroSD and see what happens. I'll confirm it here if it's fixed.

What part of "it's a hardware problem" is so hard to understand? It WILL NOT WORK. So unless you need a new sdCard any "result" will be a placebo.

Relax mate, it maybe a placebo but it only has to work for him...
I appreciate the confirmation either way.

Back button does not work properly

Hi guys,
Ive searched and searched and it seems we do have issues with the back button I've yet to see if it's just a few of us or all of us with this issue. I just gave up my flawless DNA for this phone and I was hoping flashing a Rom with the new ota would fix the issue, That wasn't the case at all. Is it just me or should I just return the phone to att and get another one? In all honesty this would be my first flawed HTC phone.

Hey there,
thank god that it's not just me going crazy. Yes there is a flaw with the HTC One back button. I have experienced it few times after about a week of use. I have not decided yet what to do with my phone, I would rather wait and see if the issue happens again and if it does I am returning mine. As far as my tech knowledge goes and how I experienced it, it looked to me more like an software flaw, since the back button only malfunctioned when my phone was in heavy use.
Cheers,
Blaze

The new 1.29 update fixes that. I'm not sure when it'll be available everywhere. I got it when I installed the Android Revolution 7.1 rom today. The buttons are great now.

Alright thanks guys. I'm gong to give Revolution a spin to see if it works.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Never had an issue with my back button. Phone shipped with 1.29 though.

I have the same problem...let me try 1.29

OK guys, so I went to ATT and replaced my phone... I told the guy that my back button was not working properly and he said it was the first time he had heard that... I said right. I told him to google it, I then also told him about my 2 dead pixels and then he said OK LOL. So far it's flawless well except for 1 dead pixel... will see how that goes lol

[Q] How many HK owners are having data/voice issues?

A simple "yes" or "no" and where you are located should suffice.
Spent a total of 5 hours with Sprint between the phone and corporate stores since the first day this came out and today I was finally told the truth that all Sprint HK M8 owners are facing data issues.
To be specific(D.C. is a spark area) Every 15 minutes or so, my data/voice will drop regardless of what I am doing and pick back up anywhere between 1x and lte/spark 3-4 minutes later like clock work.
The lady at the corporate store let me see how my phone was in the red(see last pic). I went back to stock unrooted. Downloaded the .15 update. Updated profiles, PRLs, ##72786# data resets constantly and this problem still exists. The best that any representative could do is credit me $30 for my troubles(bull ****). Tried to get a replacement handset and they told me no. No one has given me any sort of "this will be fixed soon". Its always "well.....profile/prl/data updates cant fix this so a technician will look at your local tower"
I'm trying to get a rough estimate as to how many people are having the same problems
Here are pics for reference. This all happened with in 2 hours and continues to happen
http://imgur.com/a/5GeWu
Don't be surprised if you see this on other forums. Kind of going every where to see how many are having issues.

It's your phone. You need a replacement. I had the same issues, went into a store. They replaced my phone. No more issues.

That was my problem. They said they wouldnt swap phones because its not the phone's fault.

Im having the same issues but only when connected to my airrave.

No,
I did encounter issues when I first got my phone......... but did a system update the first day and all issues seem to be fixed ..this update does note that it corrects this type of problem .. on my phone anyway

Might want to have them check the SIM Card Reader. When I brought mine in after having the phone for a week, they told me that the issue were a result of the reader being busted. They replaced my phone right away with no issues since I only had it for a week. From what I hear is that the longer you've had the phone, the less likely Sprint will replace it though.

I'm heading over to the store again today to have them actually look at it.

They finally acknowledged that it is a handset problem. After looking at the service trends again I was red in voice and device was grey(don't know what that means). Crossing fingers that this fixes the issue but also Hoping that this isn't the only solution as it sounds costly

Grey means not enough data collected yet to determine anything.
I'm having bad issues as well as everyone else I personally sold HK and Non HK M8 too something is not right.. I'm to scared to order myself a replacement and not be able to achieve S-Off on it.. But I could buy the 25 dollar app to get it. Anyway Ive asked about these issues no response worth talking about. Hope to solve this soon guys...

Just got an HKE no problems here. I actually get better signal and speeds than on my Note 3. No Spark just LTE

It's a damn shame. Flew through Milwaukee, Vegas, Reno, and am in lake Tahoe on vacation and it's the same **** everywhere.

Flash the roam only mod then the Verizon prl. I'm getting better signal now then when I was with Verizon. I also have an hk m8 btw.

Received my replacement at 11am(EST) this morning and have had zero drops or issues since then. Been at full service in Spark since then.
Will update this thread in a few days with my findings.
Sucks because I am afraid to root/s-off because everything is working but I miss my backups of apps(Ti Backup) that I have been working on for years and hate these damn ads and bloat ware.

Im in the same boat waiting on my replacement tommorow. Im looking at it this way. Make sure you have the latest firmware and there should be no difference. I guessing bad antennas in some and some are just lucky and got a good one. Maybe start a thread Rooted vs Non rooted with signal quality and maybe we can answer our own question?

I have been holding off a Sprint visit for weeks, but after getting voicemails without getting phone calls on numerous occasions, I will have to go to Sprint.
However, after completely unrooting my phone in preparation to go to Sprint, I might not root my replacement whenever I decide to go there.
HTC Backup is excellent, in my opinion, and it really helps we with my lack of Titanium Backup. I don't like the ads either, but I think that it might be time to throw in the towel on rooting my phone. I've gotten more than my share of rom flashes and whatnot.

I was given a replacement due to my original having a bad antenna. Ive had zero issues since getting my new phone
SENT FROM MY ROCKING HK M8

I just as got my second one In less then a week and it keeps showing data connection error or some like that

If you're having trouble with your HTC One M8 download the latest latest network performance test tool.
"dl3 . htc . com/us/sprint/network_performance_test_tool_v0.85.zip" <=== Official website I cant post link currently so remove spaces.
If you get a red screen with NG device you need a replacement. It's a known device problem so charges will be waived.

New radio seems to fix problems
I was having tons of data connection issues with my M8. I recently followed the posts on doing the recent firmware update (OTA for those of you not rooted) and it includes a radio update. The new radio seems to be working quite well and I haven't had any connection issues. Hopefully this works for you guys too.

Amsick you can get into big trouble for that lol

Delay in opening Air Command menu

Hi All,
So I got my Note 5 a couple of days everything works fine except for the annoying delay in opening of Air command menu once the Spen is pulled out.
The issue doesn't always happen and I noticed that its slow to open up only when the device has been on sleep mode for a while.There is no perceptible delay when I have been using the device and take out the Spen.
Was wondering if that's how it is or is there something up with my device.
Any pointers would be of great help.
Thanks.

I just got my note 5 and I have the same exact issue. There is a long delay after I pull the pen out and then once it finally comes on, the delay is gone. But when the pen is not used for a while and I try to use it again the delay is back.

Thanks Gso78 for the confirmation.
Mine is an Indian version N920G ,Since the issue is not widespread wondering if it has got to do with the variant.
Did you find any solution to it.Anybody else facing the same issue?
Regards.

I have the same issue since the time I bought it.

I also experience this. I don't use the pen much, but find it interesting that, like the OP, the issue happens only after the pen is left in for an amount of time. Then subsequent times in near time to the first, there is no/little delay. Suggests it's a software issue and in that case I'd expect most folks to experience this, barring some hardware revision or variances by carrier version.
Mine is a Verizon U.S. model for the record.
Curious if anyone has found the source of this issue, or how wide spread it is (seems not very wide spread considering how few people responded to this thread).

Just wanted to add my name to this list, I have the Indian N920G running Dr.Ketan ROM L8

Yes. I too have same problem. Indian version

Anyone got this resolved? I'm facing the same issue too.

No. I tried many times even after getting two updates. I have given to service center and calling them daily two times. One week over. They admit that the manufacturer didnt install a part. I think they called it "black tape" if i heard it correctly. MADE IN INDIA.

Motherboard fault they said. Replaced my piece with a Brand New One!

I have no delay, it comes up right when the pen is completely out of the phone. N920P here

They Repaired my phone (not replaced) but they broke back cover. So another 3 days of delay and frustration. And finally got my phone back working fine. Hope not to go service center anytime in future and i to switch to apple.
