htc diamond freezing

Hi!
i am new here, and i do have a problem.
I have my HTC Diamond since 2 weeks, and it is blocking (freezing) once per day: the device is on standby, i try to turn it on, but nothing happens, always a black screen, not even the restart button works; the only solution is to remove and put back the battery.
the issue is that if someone calls me during this "freeze", he gets that my phone is ringing; but i get nothing; and not even a missed call after i succeed to turn it on.
- ROM version: 1.93.479.3 WWE
i highly appreciate if somone can help me with this problem.
thanks,
Tony

I've had this exact problem, but the reset button on the back does work when this happens. I'm in the US on T-Mobile in NYC using a European Diamond. I work in a building that has very weak T-Mobile coverage and I've found that I only get the problem when I am at work. On the weekends and at night, the problem never happens because I am usually in an area that has either no coverage or good coverage. I have not eliminated the problem, but I have discovered that setting the network type to "GSM" and the band to "UMTS(850+1900)GSM(850+1900)" reduces the incidence of the problem for me to once every few days. I'd love to hear a good solution to the problem as well.

sounds like a problem with the Radio, it could be that the weak signal is causing the phone problems.
Try flashing a newer Radio version, and make sure all the settings (as Drachen said) are correct.
If you arent happy with Flashing a Radio, then send it back and get a repacement (chances are it will have newer firmware)

I have the exact same issue as you have. I had basically tried all sorts of ROMS, be it stock or cooked. It seems that since the upgrade to all v1.93 roms, this problem became more frequent.
Check this link here. I posted some screenshots of my problems there.
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=102551
I've tried Vic's rom, Swift's roms, stock 1.93 rom with stock spl etc.. all with no success. it would be stable for the first 1-2 days after flashing, but immediately after that, it will happen like twice a day.
Like your case, I'm having this "whitenoise" screen (instead of a blank screen, which i used to have at times also) and I tried calling myself from my land line. I can hear the ringing but my phone does not respond.
So since then, here's my suggestion.
DISABLE your TouchFlo3D. Use default Today screen or SPB Mobile Shell. Thats what I did and I haven encountered a single issue since then for 2 days straight. Try it for a day or two to see.
Base on my analysis, our Diamonds has a defect on the 3D gpu chip. Cos corruption only occurs on programs using the HTC 3D driver (e.g. the OpenGLES api from Koush) while normal 2D functions is perfect.
I am waiting for the next ROM update to see if it fixes the issue before I send in my set for repair before my warranty ends, but I feel its gonna be hard to replicate the issue to the service engineer.

I'm going to wait until the end of the week to declare that the problem has been solved, but I'm having a LOT of luck with the latest radio ROM (v1.00.25.BS14) since it was posted on Fri morning (for me), and have had no freezing problems through the end of Tues. Tony1313, try upgrading to the latest radio ROM on the radio ROM thread in the development forum for a while and see if it helps you. Another set of eyes on the problem would be good.
knave, I don't think the cause of the problem for you is the same as it is for me. I haven't gotten any graphical glitches yet on my Diamond and I've only seen the snow screen you're talking about once when charging overnight (in the 3 months I've had the Diamond). As I mentioned, the crashes only happen in one location (my office) and never happen after-hours, weekends or on vacation. The two things I did to reduce the frequency of problems (that helped) were to change Exchange Activesync from "Automatic" to "Manual" during work hours and to set the bands in the control panel as above. All that makes me believe my problem is radio/reception related.

Hi Drachen I did a similar thing to you except I set it too GSM + AUTO it solved my SOD problems completely. Here is my story.
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 freezes many times each day, even if im using it with no sim card. i don't even know what to do.
i have a stock rom.

I bet you got the 1.93 ROM and not 2.03, go update to it!

My problem is:
when a turn it on, it just show htc background and that's all
who faced with this problem?

Help me with my g1

My g1 have big problem, it loss signal all day, most the time. I tried turn on air plane mode and turn off, or retart the phone, wipe, up another rom, up newest radio version, use 2g network only. But it doesn't work.
It loss signal random, i can't control or do something to have signal again. even i change many other sim cards. but i discover one thing: seem this problem related air plane mode. because in some rom version, i turned off air plane mode but it didnt, even i restart my phone it still on. i must take out the battery for long time and put it again.
Some time it have signal again but it only for short time.
How can i fix this problem, please help me.

please someone can help me. my phone isn't a phone anymore

hhmmm...Try to upgrade to the latest radio for g1. If that doesn't help, maybe your rom has messed up apn settings or the service in your area dropped.

I can add few things to this since I experience loss of signal multiple times every day:
I have 2 G1s. On both of them it happens:
1. Using different ROMS (CM, Super-D, OpenEclair)
2. Using different recoveries (RA 1.5.2 and 1.6.2)
3. At different times of the day
4. Using different radios (older radio and the newest one, sorry I can never remember the numbers)
5. Across different states ( I took one of them thru 5 different states and it kept loosing signal)
What happens is that I start a program that requires data (twidroid, FB, Gmail, Market) and I see my connection get stuck on the uplink, go away completely and restart the radio. Another way it will do it, is that it will stay on blank screen (or downloading screen) and there will be no uplink or downlink shown)
Tried: wiping, re-flashing radio, re-flashing rom, getting rid of few apps.
Anyone with any insight on this? I can get a log next time this happens if anyone wants to take a look.
Thank!

i tried many diferent rom, radio, and recorvery too. but it still doesn't work?
Now i discover that any connect in my g1 seem doesn't work. wifi can search but when i connected it can't open any page even google. gps can receavie signal, bluetooth can turn on but no one can see me or i can' connect to my headset bluetooth.
May i think it is mainboard's problem? i opened my g1 and see anten signal very perfect, don't have any space or something like that.

[Q] Signal Issues

I have been having intermittent signal problems on my phone for several months now and it's extremely frustrating. I've read through quite a few threads trying to find a similar problem, but nothing seems to provide a solution. So here goes my feeble attempt to explain what's going on...
For starters, I am in Canada on the Telus network. The phone works fine when I am traveling between places but doesn't work at all whenever I am at work or at home. Other places seem to knock it out as well. It hasn't worked at work since I started having the connection problems back in February or March. The same goes for at home. Anytime I am in between the two, which is a five minute drive I can switch the airplane mode on and off and it will usually connect to the network. When the Network drops, I still have signal bars, but get the "emergency calls only" instead.
I am running CM 7.0.3, and have updated the radio to 5.08.00.04 as well as 5.12.00.08 both did not to anything(I am now back on .08). I was on CM 6.1 when the problems started, and have been updating through the release candidates up to the latest stable CM still with no luck on figuring out what is causing the problem. I have done full wipes, as well as installed different ROMs trying to find what's causing this.
Could the SIM card be the culprit? Even if it seems to work fine some of the time?
I'm completely out of ideas, and sick of not being able to use my phone, as an actual phone, while I'm at home or at work. Any suggestions or ideas/questions is appreciated to figuring out what is going on, I'll answer the questions as best I can.
Thanks,
Chad

I'm having the exact same problem as you: only "Emergency Calls" at places with thick walls (is that well said?), where I used to have good reception and where others (with same company) have a pretty decent signal. I really don't recall when this started, but also does occur with all radios and kernels I've tested so far.
I'm currently running CM 7.0.3 with radio 5.12.00.08 and kernel redstar 2.6.38.7-CFS.

Me three. I think its something to do with cyan 7 because its been since I went onto it that signals not been what it used to. Perma emergency only in my halls.

Nexus One drops data signal, reboot required

Here's the situation: For about a month now I've been having issues with my data not working on my N1. Presently, I'm on Paranoid Android ROM, but have tried fixing the situation by flashing SpazeDawg, experiencing the same issue. My phone shows bars, and cycles between H, 3G, and E depending on where I am, but it's faded out, not blue; like it's not connecting. I do have voice and texting, however. I flashed the new Korean radio months and months ago, but I tried flashing back to 5.08.00.04, with no change in result. I've tried resetting the APNs to default, which after a reboot fixes the problem temporarily. I've run out of ideas on how to fix this, or isolate the problem. I'd rather not get rid of my N1, but the more I work on it, I'm beginning to think it is a hardware issue. Tried a new sim card, too! Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

I've been having similar problems ever since switching to ICS so I think it's just inherent. I've found that toggling data off and on again fixes the issue most of the time. So it's quicker solution than rebooting but still not ideal. Hopefully a fix appears but in the mean time I'm willing to live with it. For what it's worth, I've found Evervolv to be the most stable in terms of lost connection but YMMV...

Ongoing 3G issues with Galaxy S3 mini

Hello guys,
For the past year or so I am having intermittent problems with my 3g connection. It just loses the connection with the mobile internet without any error messages and the only way to fix this is rebooting the phone. At first it happened every couple months but the intervals between connection losses seems to get shorter. The last few months it was every 10-14 days, now it's every 5 days. Since a reboot seems to fix this I don't think there is a physical defect on my 3g chip but the shortening intervals are somewhat worrying. I checked my APN settings multiple times and I've called my carrier's tech support several times but they too can't seem to find anything wrong with my APN settings. I'm currently using a custom ROM (OmniROM based on Android 4.4.4 with the Stagefright patch included) but this problem existed even in the original ROM so I doubt it's a kernel/driver issue. Is there anyone knowledgeable enough to pinpoint the problem or at least help me in the right direction because it's becoming a bit annoying and I dislike not being able to figure out WHY something happens. ^^"

The issue you have mentioned applied also to my phone, but it appeared for the first time after installing Omni from golden-guy. I haven't observed it on my stock rom. At the very beginning, I was able to mitigate the issue by turning airplane mode on and off. As you mentioned, the issue's frequency was increasing over time, leading to more than one signal lost per day. Airplane mode solution stopped working. I have also tried to kill (and got restarted) rild, as well as radiod - with no luck. Logs (I haven't checked kmesg) revealed nothing. I'm not sure the details of your issue, but I was loosing the whole GSM/WCDMA signal, not only the Internet access. Meanwhile, the system seemd to be looking for a network, draining my battery.
I still hope that the solution was to replace my SIM card with a new one from the operator. After that, about a month ago, the issue happened only once, and airplane mode on and off solved it. It's worth to notice, that turning airplane mode on took quite long time, about 30 seconds.
I'm having GT-I8190, Omni version 4.4.4-20151108, baseband I8190XXAMG (I'm not sure if it is distributed along with the rom, or maybe resides on different partition, and is not updated with the omni rom releases).

Did you check logcat? If you didn't then logcat might show what the problem is. And your problem sounds more severe than mine. I only lose 3g but I can still call and send text messages. A problem with the simcard might be possible but it could also be a physical problem with the simcard slot though I can't say why rebooting or turning airplane mode off and back on would fix that.

I just wanted to confirm that I have similllar issue with 3g data connection. S3 mini with I8190XXAMG4 baseband. Stock ROM used for last few years (without any significant issues with 3g data connections), upgraded to latest CM11 20151017 from maclaw/novafusion. I noticed that there are some glitches with 3g data connections. Sometimes I need to tap few times before connection finally is being established. Funny thing is that I have second s3 mini with the same CM11 20151017 and all is OK.
I tried a lot of another ROMs; fifferent version of CM11, OmniROM (4.4.4 and 5.1.1), CM12.1 - problem remains - issues with 3g data connection. Is there any solution to get rid of this 3g data issue?

Yes, logcat (main, radio, events) revealed nothing but just signal drop to 0%. At that time, I didn't know about kmsg and system logcat buffer, so I haven't checked them.

Just tried this, and it helped. Usually, when something is not working, people try to turn it off and on again.
I always had rare glitches with mobile data connectivity, and turning mobile data off and on again always solved the problem. I think our problems my be hardware related. I suppose my old SIM card could have buggy software, i.e. advertising to support some newer protocol, but actually didn't. After upgrading, the phone tried to use the new advertised protocol, and got confused, or made the SIM confused.
I also know about cases, when SIM card simply died without any reason.

I used Note 2 about two years, flashed different roms and never had troubles, but then my friend used it about 3 months on 5.0.2 custom and got troubles with gsm/wcdma. My next samsung phone become our beloved i8190. Flashed it from stock to 5.0.2 CM, than 5.1.1, after month got first Cellular bugs. Tried another LP and some KK roms, my troubles with baseband became more and more frequently every day, flashed different modems, changed much settings in system.. So I was desided that it's all HW problems, and hated Samsung for such failure. But one day just tried to install Project Noble, and all this troubles gone forever. So it's just drivers, which not optimised for new Android versions. 4.1.2 mixed with old TouchWiz after fresh and clean Lollypop feels horrible, but we can do nothing with it.

But if it's hardware related, wouldn't you think that rebooting our phone or turning airplane mode on and off wouldn't fix it? And did you see in the logcat log if something happened before the signal drop? Sometimes events prior to the signal drop can also tell something about the cause.

Hardware could also have its state, which may get corrupted and reset on reboot.
