[Q] Automatic hard reset problem - HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my HD7.
It automatically hard resets itself, it did this before i flashed Deepshining, but that didn't help.
Now i have a 32 GB sandisk in it (the correct compatible number) and it didn't change anything, but the card works great.
Now, does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
I will be flashing a new radio, because i notice that when network is on, its sometimes soft resets itself, but only when my card is loaded with games, apps and music?

HI,
same problem there. Much interested if someone helps!!

Messenger wont open!

This is the second time this has happened and I cant figure it out. I was running the 2.17 rom the first time. Then I now have Shoguns new beta rom and same thing has happened. I cant text or anything including mms, but that has never worked since I got this phone. When you try to open it nothing happens at all, like it ignores you or something. Other than that and the bluetooth not working anymore its all good.
Any ideas before doing another hard reset?

what all apps have you installed since installing the roms?
I installed all the apps on the ext rom installer but this happened before those were installed. The only programs I can think of that are the same is Opera, Total Commander, and tcpmp. If it helps any I was messing around with Omap trying to see if I could squeeze out a few more mhz and I froze it up. Come to think of it I cant soft reset unless the storage card is removed or else it will freeze on the omap program. Anyways I dont see how the entire messenging program stopped working. Any way this could be related?

Just in case anybody cares about this thread I found out some strange info. With the storage card out everything works again. Put it back in and its all messed up. Also I cannot boot it up with the card in the phone anymore it hangs on the omap screen. Any way to make that screen not come up everytime? I couldve sworn it didnt used to pop up everytime I rebooted before. Card is not bad it works fine. I wonder if the program that turns the phone into a card reader has something to do with it?

Happen to me few time. Just start messanger from startup menu and it will work again.
I have had a similar problem with Messaging. Usually it works fine, but sometimes nothing will open Messaging will not open with any method, from the Today Screen item (it highlights, but never opens), the Mail buttonhas no effect, and the Start menu item has no effect. I found that deleting the Inbox.mstxxxxxx folder from the storage card would allow it to open again. Also, the phone would not see the MiniSD card, and create a "Storage Card" folder then the real storage card would be called "Storage Card 2" and that would also cause Messanger problems. This has happened in the past on this phone as well, without any custom ROMs and with multiple MiniSD cards. I took out a reg hack to show the ext ROM in the file system and it seemed to help the problem.
Just FYI this is on an 8125 with a SanDisk 1gb MiniSD card and Shoguns current public ROM and the 2.47.11 radio.
I ended up doing the hard reset anyways, but its good to know there may be a fix for this. I did see the files but they would not open and said the program was missiing or something like that. Its all good now thouugh, but thanks for the info. Im sure itll happen again.

Tytn II freezing/ hanging in standby

Hi all - I have a weird problem for which I am hoping people here would have a resolution. Recently bought a Tytn II,
ROM Version 1.81.415.4 WWE
ROM Date 10/29/07
Radio Version 1.27.15.32
Protocol version 22.51.88.13W
Using with a 2 GB memory card
Now, i have noticed a few times that the device just does not come out from the standby mode - the Green LED indicating that the GSM is on is flashing, but when I try to call into it using anothe rphone, it indicates being switched off or not reachable. I try to start is using the power key, or any number of keys without luck - the only way out is a soft reset.
I have seen some people quote a similar problem, but not inding a resolution there, am posting this up here
Pls help - I am extremely reliant on this as a business device and will get stuck if it behaves like this
Have you tried a hard reset? I know some radio's/ROM's have this issue
mine started doing that a while back and I found that it was a combination of my phone automaticly reciving an email while it was asleep and this program I had that gave you points for AP's and cell towers I forget what its called after I got rid of that program and changed my email to retrive manually the problem stoped
What apps would I need after a hard reset ?

Hi - thanks for the valuable advice. I would do so - however, another problem is compounding the same - I got this from a friend, and dont have the getting started CD that comes with the pack - can you tell me about, on a hard reset, what apps would I need to reload from the getting started CD? Or would I not need the CD ? I have all the other contact data with me on Outlook, and the other files I have copies of on the computer, so I don't plan to use a backup/ restore.
The only thing I have noticed that gets changed is the sensitivity resets to default usually which can be changed back in KaiserTweak or Advanced Configuration. I would say if you have never done any ROM or Radio changes to the device, and its a new phone its probably got something wrong with it. That gives you 2 options. 1 - take it back and get it replaced if you can, or 2 - follow the WIKI and change you ROM/Radio, but read WIKI because you will need to HardSPl before flashing anything.
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
I have the same issue once in a while. In my case gwes.exe hangs at that point which after that i have to soft reset. Still have no fix found though
I'm sorry but my fix wont work for you as its only for people whose phones only crash in standby there is no gwes.exe hang associated with it. Obviously it only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
@nlel
I allready tried a hard reset but the problem returns after a certain time.
The gwes.exe does not hang when using the device, it only hangs when resuming from standby and does not allways occur.
Well in your case its very obviously a software or hardware problem and nothing to do with the SIM and/or settings which impact the SIM. I don't know what else to suggest if my solution doesn't help I don't know what else you can try to do btw how do you know gwes.exe is crashing when resuming from standby.
When it happens to me (because of phone band type set to auto) I cannot see what is happening on the phone at that precise moment as I have to soft reset. There is nothing that is obviously crashing at the same time.
By the way gwes.exe according to MSDN, its Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem. GWES loads display drivers, printer drivers, and touch screen drivers, maybe you have a hardware fault.
Does it happen to both your Tytn II's?? and have you tried my solution or a new SIM ?

Windows Mobile corruption on my Kaiser

Hi,
Over the weekend, my Kaiser starting giving the error message that it was running low on memory, and i suspect that it was due to downloading large files and the system cache filling up.
I tried ClearTemp and MemAid to regain space and it was a temporary fix.
How ever last night my Today screen was not displaying correctly (only showing HTC Home) and a SPB Wireles icon citing that both Phone Alarm and SPB Wireless were unsigned and incorrect parameters.
I decided to check my 8gb MicroSD to reinstall the applications but virtually all data on it was erased (except for the files in use on the today screen) It was only half full.
I cant even access the settings page to modify my Today screen as the 'settings button is no longer there.
Has anyone experienced this and / or know of a fix. I prefer to exhaust all avenues before i hard reset and build it back again.
thanks in advance for your input.
Dear friend,
your situation looks very complicated. I have never faced such a problem,but I am aware of some similar problems....but those problems are very rare,though.
First of all you need to do some back up if you can and format your memory card on your PC.
Then find some good ROM,I suggest a non modified,stock ROM and flash your device.
I know this can be frustrating,but this is the only way to get your device to work again.
Although I do not know what exactly did you do before that problem appeared,the solution is very simple...new ROM.Stock HTC ROM would be the best.
Let me know if I was helpful.
Best regards,
Alexander.
Thanks, I ended up having to hard reset.
I have currently defaulted to the stock Aus3 Rom but am looking at trying the the WM6.1 Aus3 rom, or even a cooked rom!
It will depend how much time i have to try and fix things if it goes pear shaped again! I dont want to Brick my phone!

Damaged SD Card Killed my Android Market

Hi guys,
Here's my problem:
I have a rooted G1 with Cyanogens 4.0.4 ROM and the 1.3 Recovery image.
On Friday my SD Card decided to damage itself on me. I had an ext:2 partition where I kept all of my cache and apps. Now that it has gone and destroyed itself somehow (I really have no idea how, as I was just using my phone as normal) I have lost all of my apps.
Also, I lost all access to the market. I get the 'A Server Error Has Occured' message and no matter how often I try it it has not started working since Friday.
I tried to re-format the SD card using Windows, but it failed each time. So, I decided to cut my loses and buy a new card.
Now I have an UNPARTIONED 4GB card in my G1, and the card itself seems to be working without incident. However, I still cannot access the market.
I have tried doing a factory reset - this didn't work. I have tried taking out the SIM card and putting in another one and swapping it back - this didn't work either.
I am wondering whether there was information on the old card that the market can't find, therefore is crashing on me?
I'm really looking for any help I can get here. I'm pulling my balding hair out.
Thanks.
OK, I fixed it with this:

I hope this post helps anyone else who runs into a similar problem.
this happened to me this morning i reflashed this would have saved me a lot of time

Wireless radio stopped working?

I am in Michigan and I have an AT&T Tilt flashed with the TPC Elite ROM (V10)from a year ago, with radio 1.70.19.09. It's been working quite well. However, I was tweaking some settings, did a soft reset, and now the phone displays "Phone Off." I have determined that the SIM card is not being read. I swapped SIM cards with another phone, with the same result, and my SIM card works in that phone.
I have been happy with the phone and want to keep it. Is this a likely to be a hardware problem rather than a software issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
what kind of tweaking...registry? . Have you already check your comm manager to see if your phone radio is on right?
If you still with that problem you should perform a hard reset.
Tweaking was through Advanced Configuration in the settings-system menu. Yes, I checked the comm manager. I believe the problem is that SIM cards are no longer being read or sensed; I tried another one that worked, but no luck. The radio would not come on, and the IMEI number was not read on that card, either. I tried using a piece of paper wedged between the SIM card and the metal guide for more pressure against the contacts...no luck. I also tried repositioning the 8 contacts for better connection. No luck there, either.
Any other ideas?
I finally tried the last resort, hard reset, which I was avoiding since I customized a lot of stuff, but it worked. Now I get to play around again.
good to know that you solve your problem
