I've got my new Tilt from AT&T a couple of weeks ago. I love it so far!
However, I do have one concern. Five-six times already I saw my phone restart/reboot on its own. Has anyone experienced this? How common is this?
Additional info:
1. I don't believe this is due to any programs I installed: the first reboot occured on the first day before I had a chance to install anything.
2. There seems to be no correlation with the battery charge level, as I saw it happen with a fully charged battery.
3. It doesn't matter how long ago the phone was restarted: at least one restart ocurred within an hour after I rebooted the phone.
4. In most, if not all cases the reboot occurred when I was using Internet Explorer. This might be a coincidence though, as I have been using Internet Explorer most of the time!
And there was nothing unusual about the web sites when the restart occurred: absolutely no pattern, seem to be a totally random event.
What I would like to know, is this something I should simply blame on Microsoft (or Sun Microsystems for that matter) and get used to, or is there something wrong with my particular unit and I should replace it before the 30-day money-back expires?
Thank you!
I only had one random reboot in my month with the Tilt. I was changing views in SPB Imageer and suddenly... POOF! No problems with reboots before that or since then.
You're not alone
I've had the exact same thing happen to my Tilt as well. I have Duttythroy's big rom and I saw two soft-resets on my Tilt within a space of 6 hours a couple of days ago only. That was the first time and its not repeated that since.
I've had it for about a month or so now. The only thing I have "abnormal" on my tilt is that my trusty old SPB Backup that I've had since my good ol' days of XV6600 does not for some reason perform a backup if I set it to save the backed-up file in the memory card. It just hangs!!
So, I have to backup in the main memory, which thanks to the Godly Tilt is still around 130 megs free after 30 or so various program installs, and then move the file over to the memory card.
If anyone out there has some pointers suggestion for me to resolve this, I'll appreciate it.

Never seen a spontaneous reboot in 2 months or constant use. I use Spb Backup daily to microSD never a problem, check for latest version is all I can suggest.
Three weeks old unlocked TyTN II with stock WWE ROM. No hangs or resets.
never had a random reset
hey,
I've had my tilt for approx 1 1/2 months and never had a random reset. You might want to take it back and exchage it just for piece of mind. Just my 0.02.
Automatic reset? I cant remember one ...
never happened to me before
I had it happen to me on my VarioIII after only 10 mins! i wasn't even using it as I'd put it in my pocket. I only noticed because i felt the small vibrate as it reboots. I never had a single thing installed. It's never happened to me again though (as far as i know) in the last 4 weeks.
Thanks to everyone who replied! Sounds like it might be a good idea to replace the phone. My only fear is that the new one will have some other issues. But since majority of the users seem to be happy with their phones, I guess it's worth a risk!
Thanks again!
Spontaneous reboot? Never. Are you sure you didn't get one with Palm OS on it?
LOL.
My experience
I have had my Tilt for about 2 month. I have a lot of apps installed and reg. tweaks. I have had one or two freezes that required soft resets and zero spontaneous hard resets. Your situation sounds like mine with my old HTC pda2k - hard resets all the freakin time. Some on that unit were cuased by a defective high capacity battery, some not. I would definitely return it for exchange.
3 Kaisers in a row rebooting!!!
I bought a Kaiser a few weeks ago and have had 3 of them swapped and they all do the same thing. They reboot randomly throughout the day sometimes every half hour. I returned it for a credit and am sticking to my trusted Jasjam. Very dissapointing!!!
Also the keyboard keys are a lot stiffer than the jasjam making it very slow and tiring to type on compared to Jasjam (Hermes).
Cheers.
Htc Tytn II for 3 month and never had a problem.
no problem here
neither me had ever such a this problem .
i think my friend you must check for any 3rd party app you have installed in your phone..do a hard reset first to try it clean of any other software..
if it'snt something like this,you have to return it back to store for send it to service to fix it or replace it with a new one
Make sure the battery cover is completely secure. The only time I had an issue I discovered that the cover was loose.
stock att rom with the bloatware...no hangs no re-starts.
Well, two days ago I went back to AT&T and replaced my Tilt. So far so good: no restarts!!!
Never had this problem either. Using Dutty's V3 final rom.
The kaiser was probably one of the biggest pains in the asses I've ever dealt with, and probably won't be doing anything HTC for a long time to come.
It's a 8925 tilt that I got right when it came out. Got the unlock code from att and been using my tmobile sim ever since.
Sometime last year, the speakerphone died.
Then, earlier this summer, the phone just up and quit one day. Would give the tricolor screen and say there was no ROM.
Great. Switched to my backup $10 nokia and it's been great.
Decided to try again yesterday. Updated to the latest radio. Tried one of the cooked up 6.5's. Already been on hardspl 3.56 since last year.
And it's been chaos. Initial bootup froze up at the HTC screen. I gave it 20 minutes, and then did a hard reset. It booted up, imported my sim contacts. Then it went on to setting up the internet, and froze at 0%. Reset it, and it freezes at the HTC screen again. Again, hard reset. 10 minutes later, I'm finally booted and setup. Install Google Maps. Works fine. Few hours later, I pull my phone out of my pocket, and the screen is lit but displays nothing. Buttons are lit up too. Frozen again. Reboot it again, and it's like I hard reset it. Had to initialize the phone again, reinstall Google Maps.
Wake up this morning, and again, blank lit screen. Right now, it's seemingly functional, but I haven't done anything to it. From power on to booted takes roughly 4 minutes. Absolutely unacceptable.
Reflashed it, and it's behaving no differently.
Anyone else experience this before?
No, mine has been perfect in all aspects. I would suggest trying another HardSPL version & a standard HTC WM6.1 ROM & see how things run.
You could just be unlucky & have a bad device but it could also be due to bad ROMs & HardSPL version.
Hey all,
I posted a while ago about my phone having died and only having red flashing lights...I managed to solve that- thanks for you help, but now have a completely different problem.
Since then about a week has passed and approximately every 36 hours the phone seems to crash. When I take out the battery and turn it on again it invariably hangs at the Ericsson logo screen. When I then leave it off for a period of time (between 2 and 12 hours) I either find it starts to work again, or that I'll have the red flashing lights and have to leave it for longer.
When it does start working, it always seem to have been hard reset and I have to go through the set up again.
It's possible heating the battery speeds up how long it takes to start working again (although I've tried it with 2 batteries so I'm not sure why that would work) - and I'm not sure if that is actually the case yet or not anyway.
- It's very frustrating to lose all of my contacts daily, but I don't want to give up on £250 worth of kit... any ideas?
Thanks so much

LOL,
no idea why.
Installed any tweaking software??
Sadly no - and I've tried it with 2 different roms too

Heh, don't know.
Maybe some other rom's installation messed up something....
hmm... I faced the same problem...
So.. I did have to send it for repair :S ....
maybe i have the same problem... many roms tried, many soft and hard-reset, but the lifetime cycle of the phone before to re-flash the device is at maximum 1-2 days... now i'm trying the tips about quickgps (maybe could be correlated) on the thread in this forum... but the most probably truth i think that could be an internal memory rom damage... if anyone find a soluzion about this problem via software i'm here...
I seem to be having the same problem.
A week ago i tested the latest roms with winmo 6.5.1, after several roms i settled with a rom with build 23081, enabled htc sense, played around abit and went to bed and put the phone to charge. when i woke and touched the screen, the phone immediately froze.
After removing battery it froze again in SE boot screen and after second removal of battery the phone hard reseted it self.
The phone has been freezing and flashing itself ever sense, sometimes the uptime is minutes sometimes over day.
Currently the phone has survived 3 days without a spontaneous flash, the only difference is that i didn't bother to enable htc sense last time it flashed. So i enabled htc sense once again and will see if the phone survives a day.

i had approximatively also the same problem... i'm trying to understand what is the reason of this instable situation... gps location? memory? graphic instance that use HTC sense? is heavy to understand... if anyone could also find the right solution...
was having the same problem tried the method in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290 and it is working on my X1 so far

Did the "task 29" do anything?
I tried the method suggested but no change besides hard reset. And the X1 froze about 12h after that...

ye mine did it again aswell this morning
i just tried hard reseting then install a stock rom then hardreset again and install a custom rom, will let you know if it works
Do you guys often use Opera Mobile?
Ahah!
Very encouraging to see other people had the same difficulties... and I suppose that it's just a question of making sure a fresh ROM flash works properly.
Sadly mine has reached the stage where it's no longer working for 'a day' before crashing... it's just pretty much dead.
Now I can bring up the tricolour screen if I'm plugged in, the ROM then begins to flash off the memory card, but crashes half way through every time.
I have tried this with 2 batteries, one of which (which I have used once and was working fine but only lasted 2 days before breaking) now does nothing whatsoever. The other lets me get half way through the flash every time.
- I can't send it back on the warranty until I reflash it myself (and I don't have a receipt anyway) so I'm going to go find a high street mobile fixing place and see if they can help.
hardresetting then flashing a stock rom (R3A generic) then hardresetting again then installing custom rom and hardresetting, definately fixed my phone, has been working for more than 2 days now it usually stops in less than 1 day.
FYI - high street phone guys managed to reflash the device for £15....it lasted 4 days but has just died again.
I bought this phone hardly used from Canada and was simlocked so I did all the hard spl'ing, sim unlocking and all the other "ings and installed the brilliant DonSalari ROM worked beautifully for around 7 months and I took care of it. I never installed anything else of messed about with any settings.
But two days back after heavy usage the battery almost died and I came on put it on recharge and now its going into the reboot loop.
I hard reset it, reflashed the radio, took out the battery for hours and a lot of other things I read about here and none of them work.
It will sometimes boot up and become normal for a few minutes and after a while go back to its cycle. Currently it wont even stay on long enough to hook up to my PC. But sometimes holding the reset button helps and that was how I was able to reflash the radio
Anybody got any ideas. My phone is still newish and I seriously cannopt afford a new one now
Any advice would be more than welcomed
Thanks in advance
You could try the radio 10.00.25.05.
As least for me, all radios but 10.00.25.xx makes my diamond keep in this reboot loop.
I'm trying to figure out why that happen, but it seems that no one knows.
Hi, i've just got this same problem
had this phone for a while now, about 15 months, just finished a phonecall 5-10 minutes ago phone reset, thought how odd, and now it just keeps resetting after the loading screen disappears, have now hard reset it, and still doing it.
will try flashing a new radio see if it solves it
i have radio version 1.17.25.09 using 2.07 shaks which have been using for the last 6 months or so i think without any troubles!
*edit*
flashed 10.00.25.05. seems to be working now
annoyingly i hard reset first and i've just had a new harddrive on my pc so lost all my contacts
thanks

Just after buying my diamond I changed to hardspl, radio and rom, and it was like your situation, just after a few days working I had to hard reset, because it starts to auto reset. After the hard reset, everything was fine again for a few more days. Then I tried to change the radio to the more used one, 10.00.25.05. The problem was gone until some days ago, when I decided to try Security Unlock and 1.17.xx radio, and the problem was back. I reverted to 10.00.25.05, everything was fine again, except the wifi, now I can't connect to the internet, just to local network (no problems with other phones using the same wifi hotspot).
Before chaging back to 10.00.25.05, I have also tried a lot of things, many hardspl, mtty, different roms, security unlock, removed security unlock, diferent radios, but the only ones that really worked were: 10.00.25.xx and 10.02.xx. With 10.08.xx radio I could partially use the phone, but sense 2.5 didn't worked and neither phone network.
Now I'm using 10.02.25.32 for 1 day and a half. No problems until now, no resets, network and sense working fine, battery is good (it's 75% on the second day). I'll try for more days and see if everything is ok.
Sorry for your contacts
That happened to me once, now I always backup my contacts in internal storage and also in 2 computers. Lots of version, good that PinBackup writes the date on the file, easier to see which one is newer
Thanks for sharing your situation. I'm trying to figure out what can be done to solve this problem, more experiences is more information for my "research"
lucky I had a backup from december so still got most of them!
I may try a few radio's next week since i've got a lot of free spare time at the mo.
may try a few different roms as well and see how it goes!
Finally solved this and all it needed was a good 15 hour recharge and now its back to completly normal
hrmm, mine starting rebooting again earlier, again just after a phonecall, although this time i was driving and i didn't answer it but it kept rebooting, taking the battery out for a few minutes and its stopped now, will try flashing a different rom next week and see what happens
i'll leave it to charge overnight too, i did try a different battery incase it thought the battery was low as i'm using the offical extended one, but still did it with the original
restarting prob...
hello same problem here too..plz provide me the link too..for the radio 10.02.25.32

Well the hd on my computer fried not long after posting my last message so I didn't get time to try out different roms/radio's
still using the 10.00.25.05, since i've last posted its been fine, however it has started to reboot itself sometimes, battery showing as 30/40% starts rebooting then battery shows as 2%, although i've recently been moving between houes and haven't had time to charge it properly.
i've also noticed HSPDA recention is a million times better with this radio, I have another diamond (well my partners) and she barely gets good reception with HSPDA, in our home i generally get 2-3 bars and she can't get anything, she's using 1.17.x.x strangly she's never had the phone restart with her, and has been using that radio longer than I had been.
also for the radios, you can either search for the thread or click this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
Hi there,
i just want to know who had the same experience as i had.
We're talking about an HTC m7ul, CyanogenMod, Unlocked
I was trying "Dubstep Hero" as the phone suddenly freezed, even the sound was stuck.
Then it turn off without any warning.
First i tried to reboot it normally, nothing happend.
I guess, the battery should have had about 40%.
Next Chance i thougt would be to reboot into the Bootloader / Recovery (VolUp+Pwr).
Nothing happend. Then i tried to charge the Phone, no red LED came on.
I let the phone on the stock power adapter over night and gave it another try.
Still no reaction.
After that my last attempt to get it back to life with attaching it to my computer.
Nothing was recognized, "lsusb" wasn't able to find anything attached, which could be some kind of phone.
I also tried the variant with pressing buttons for several minutes, without success.
The Phone was about 365 days and 2 hours old.
Here in Germany there is a warranty of 2 years so i returned the phone where "Saturn" will send it to HTC or some other authorized Service Partner.
Hoping that it will be back soon and i don't have any issues about the custom ROM or stuff like that.
btw...
I tried to get an OnePlus One from Coolicool.com. Don't ever buy anything there.
I still got nothing, my only luck is that i paid with paypal.
They even have not shipped it since 3 weeks! Support promised, shipping has already been done...
Next Tuesday i will try to get my Money back.
Finally my Question to u:
Have u or Have u Had the same problems / issues?
Did your Phone came back to life?
What have you done to bring it back to life?
Sorry for my english, it's not that great
Hope you figure out, how things are meant to be..
