randomly soft reset - Off-topic

Hi!
I tried hard reset, I don't install ANY program - doesn't change anything.
My XDA working fine for 3 months, but since 1-2 weeks randomly soft resetting, when I pressing the turn-on button. This event is 0 to 10 times/day.
Before automatically resetting, the incoming calls fail. When I have a call, then my XDA not ringing and looks like my phone turned off.
Only one suspicious thing occurred: I dropped down my XDA to the floor, but I can't remember when. (Before the trouble, or after the trouble.)
Is this a hardware problem? If the answer is Yes, then how can I repair my favorite XDA?
Or my be radio stack problem? Do You think, this trouble repairable with a radio stack upgrade?
If You have any idea or free book for this tell me

speakerphone bug

after i upgrade my pda2k to 1.22, sometimes i cant hear voice when i make a phone call, i have to reset it and it will be normal, anyone have same problems?
Me too
I came across the problem today too, I had to reset to be able to hear a voice on calls. Not sure what causes it. Might have to go back to my old ROM :roll:
i ran into this, but not just on speaker-phone mode. i was unable to hear anything when i canned 3 or so phone numbers. after a hard reset it worked great again. this has happend a few times since the rom upgrade.

i think you need do the hard reset, just soft reset will be ok.
I am using xda IIs, with the same problem.. soft reset did the job, but happens once in 3 days...
I had something similar to this which was solved in an earlier thread. Not sure if it may be related.
For myself and some other users this happened after using the headset, it turns out that this is a known problem whereas the phone still thinks the headset is plugged in even after removing. Stuck the headset jack back in and moved it around a bit. Never had the problem again. Just a thought.

My Kaiser is dying; possibly PointUI/virus related

The following (long!) post was originally posted at the PointUI forum, but I thought it best to cross post it here. I've tried to organize it as best as I can and appreciate those with the patience to read it and the good will to offer help.
------------------------
My AT&T Tilt (HTC TyTN II) is basically out of commision right now, and I can only track the source of the problems back to the latest update of PointUI (v1.02b, Feb. 4th 2008), as I've done nothing else with the phone since. However, seeing as how I've uninstalled PointUI and the problems persist (and are getting worse), I suspect a virus is afoot, or some other lovely problem.
Since the update, I've experienced the same problems as everyone else on this PointUI thread (system hangs on "running apps" screen and randomly), but in addition to that, several other things. I am running the stock AT&T ROM without the bloatware. These have been my symptoms for the most part since then:
Periodically, animations between menus would slow down considerably and sometimes freeze for a moment, even when I had nothing else running in the background. This would happen for any menu: the cog, the bottom bar, favorites, etc.
The touchscreen would stop working (usually, only within PointUI). This usually happened when animations would slow down, but it would also occur alone, randomly. The hardware buttons would still work during touchscreen failure, usually, but sometimes they wouldn't, and I would have to soft reset.
Sometimes, the power button wouldn't work, and I would press it several times thinking I didn't do it hard enough the first few times. After ~20 seconds, the screen would turn itself off and on. When the screen was on, it would not responding to touches.
The PointUI top bar that appears when using any application would, at random, not work. By this I mean when I would tap it, it's like it wasn't even there -- the Start menu would come down, or the volume control, date/time, etc. depending on where I tapped it. Also, the top right button (red X, or the check mark) would not display correctly in programs or the today screen (a check mark when it should be an X, etc.), randomly, and would not be responsive.
Yesterday (Feb. 23rd), things took a turn for the worse. Here's what happened:
When I started up Tom Tom, the screen went completely non-responsive. Only buttons would work.
After exiting Tom Tom (in an attempt to restart it), the touchscreen would continue not to work, both in PointUI and regular old Windows.
Shortly following this, buttons would stop working, and the entire phone would freeze up. Couldn't turn the touchscreen on and off. I did a soft reset.
During startup, when it showed the AT&T logo, the screen dimmed itself to the lowest brightness setting (it never does this). It would remain this way all the way through the bootup process and into Windows as well, never getting any brighter. Even after going to the backlight settings and increasing the brightness, the screen would get brighter, but would never turn off.
Once in Windows, the touchscreen was completely non-responsive. Buttons would still work, but everything would move really slow.
The screen would never turn itself off. Also, when pressing buttons, the screen would never get any brighter.
After mashing the buttons a bit (in anger, yes, but lightly), the touchscreen alignment application came up, asking me to touch the screen in a few places. This worked.
Then, a call came in. The screen froze during the animation for the notification of an incoming call. Also, the phone started to ring, but within 1 second stopped. However, it would vibrate nonstop (my phone is setup to ring and vibrate at the same time) till the end of the earth!
At this point, none of the buttons would work, not even the power button. Did a soft reset.
This was followed by the same exact symptoms ~4 times (touch screen not working, never turning off and staying at the same brightness level, etc). Outgoing calls would work ok, but each time, a call would come in and freeze up my phone.
Eventually, after several resets, the touchscreen would work without having to mash the buttons to get the touchscreen alignment app running. However, it would still freeze on incoming calls (only).
Somewhere between all the resets, I realized that sliding out the keyboard would never switch the screen to landscape. I can still type and my text would show up on-screen, and screen taps still work properly (even touchflo), but all of this would occur while still in portrait mode.
Lastly, the power button would only work once. It can turn the screen off, but not back on, ever.
Somewhere, between the resets, I uninstalled PointUI, which did nothing. I also tried running Sprite Backup, which would never open (and still doesn't at time of writing)!
Before the PointUI update, none of these symptoms were present (earlier release was v1.01b, used since early January). After the update, they began creeping up, getting worse over time. I have installed nothing else since the update, and have only ever sync'd the phone with my computer to charge it.
Today (Feb. 24th), it started getting a little worse...
When I make calls, sometimes the microphone doesn't work at all. I can hear the person I'm calling, but they can't hear me.
Sometimes, the green phone button won't start the phone application.
Power button isn't turning off the screen anymore at all.
This is the current status of the phone. Weathered, battered and beaten, it marches on, still capable of opening the HTC Audio Manager and playing my MP3's in consolation.
Any help regarding the source of these issues is greatly appreciated.
Some additional notes/summary:
I am running the stock AT&T ROM without the bloatware.
I haven't dropped the phone or let it get wet.
I may hard reset sometime this coming week, probably Monday. The first thing I'll do is reinstall PointUI v1.02b, and maybe TomTom. We'll see how that goes.
You know, the more I read this post, the more it seems like a virus.
Man... just hard reset/flash a new rom and be done with it.

I thought the above was the reason we DIDN'T have WM viruses?
Virus + Hard Reset = Problem solved?

I agree, at least that way you know if its hardware or software related and you stop fighting a losing battle

That's why I haven't bothered with any of the anti-virus programs out there. Why bother having a constant drain on the system resources when you can do a hard reset, and restore all the cabs & hacks in under 30 minutes?

Just an update here, my phone started acting up again ~5 days ago: freezing on incoming calls, not switching to landscape when sliding out the keyboard, never turning the screen off, etc. 3 days ago it got better, and I was able to run Sprite Backup and tried to restore the phone back to my pre-PointUI days. It had to reset, and on that same reset, Sprite didn't run -- the phone just booted into Windows, and all my problems came back.
Last night, I got a call that froze up my phone again. So I reset it, and by surprise, Sprite Backup ran and started restoring my phone. Now it's back to the way it was in January, and everything works perfectly! This backup was made before I ever installed PointUI.
Bottomline, no PointUI, no problem.
However, I should say that with v1.01b, I never experienced any of these issues. Because of my experience, I'm not giving any test versions a try, but I may install 1.03b, when it comes out. Definitely doing another backup before that too.
Thank you everyone.
Sounds to me more like a hardware issue, perhaps with your SD card.
I had the same issues you were havingh, but without ever having installed PointUi on my Kaiser.
I was using Dutty's Rom version 7 with radio 1.27.xx
only installed aps : TomTom and SPB brain training
So it would seem this is a WM or TomTom triggered issue....
My Kaiser just started doing this very same thing today. I'm running the standard AT&T WM6.1 ROM and have been successfully since December 07. I have a 6GB SD card with TomTom on it, also have had no issues until now. Today, the screen didn't switch into landscape upon sliding the keyboard out; the camera freezes and/or is unresponsive; power button doesn't work (on OR off; with or without SD card inserted); couldn't pick up a call earlier today; TomTom freezes when loading; WM player freezes while loading media.... I have not installed any apps on this thing since January. Seems to me like some memory corruption going on, possibly page file related.
I *did* notice that I had about 45MB worth of temp internet files cached and cleaned those up earlier today after these symptoms started. Didn't fix the problem though, but being low on main storage may have contributed to the corruption problem.
I had hoped I wouldn't need to hard reset my phone but here we go....

Speakers stopped working.. need soft reset

This is my 2nd HTC diamond , with the first one I had heating problems.
Now with this one the first thing I noticed (only twice) is that it keeps vibrating on incomming sms until I soft reset.. well it only happended twice and looks good now.
But what really annoys me is that on random moments the speakers dont give any sound at all and the device needs a soft reset.. This has happend like 5 times now. Anyone else experiencing this same ussue?
Yes it is known and AFAIK unsolved problem...
I have the same problem. Soft or hard resets don't change anything. The sound of the system disapears randomly and only returns after a soft reset. First I thought it had to do with the scheduled mail check, but I could eliminate that as a reason. I also reinstalled the original ROM, that didn't help either. Hopefully someone has a solution, while my Diamond isn't that much fun when it gives no sounds.

"No sound" problem on my TD2 Please Help!!

Dear buds,
I've bought a TD2 with WinMO 6.5 lately. I had lots of bugs and fixed them all but one...
After some time from bootup (after 1 or 2 hours) the sound of phone goes off without a reason. No sound from speaker, headset or volume control buttons. However everything goes well instead sound. Phone vibrates when get call, notifications and alarms vibrate without sound etc. My only solution to get back the sounds is soft reset. After soft reset everything gets fine...
I think this is a sound driver issue but... If someone to help or show the way on forum please help (because I couldn't find same issue on search)
Thanks in advance.
If there aren't any other programs causing this by adjusting your volume levels, It may be a driver issue and you'll probably have to hard reset.
This is a common issue when flashing a new ROM without hard resetting after.
Dear Bruce,
Thanks for solution suggestion.
I hard reset three times until I bought the phone but nothing changed. I'm using the official shipped ROM and I didn't flash any other ROMs.
Extra programs list:
Klaxon
SKTools Lite
Garmin Mobile XT (Because my Copilot runs only after first installing then crashes forever)
Sportypal
Google Translator
Could that happen because of wrong flashing at factory or service etc.? I mean, this phone is a Vodafone version.
In Turkey, Vodafone signal often goes off and usually my phone gets stuck when the signal is off. Could this be the reason for unloading driver?
The digits of my phone are here:
ROM version: 2.16.468.4 (67041) WWE
ROM Date: 11.12.09
Radio Version:4.49.25.17
The fact that it works for a short while after soft reset perplexes me.
You have verified your volume is on when the sound turns off? (Sorry I have to ask this)
Any other programs running at the time is stops?
GPS software can conflict with system volume and backlight, so maybe make sure Garmin is set to dynamic settings.
Other than that, I really have no suggestions as a hard reset has not helped.
Perhaps hard reset, test for a while and see if it fails w/o any programs. Then install one prog at a time until you find the cause.
There is a slight possiblity that it was a bad flash and the driver is corrupt, which would mean reflashing the stock ROM.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
Dear Bruce
Sorry for very late answer for your last post
It's sure the phone volume is on
I've been examining the phone for one week and tried some possibilities and still no way for the bug
First I hard reseted again, then didn't install any other programs. After 6 hours, the same issue occured.
I uninstalled CoPilot (which I didn't use after hard reset) then soft reset and wait, just only some hours later, the sounds went off again.
After several soft resets, I decided to play music and monitor if it happens. Then BINGO! The sound went off just after poor GSM signal. When the phone lost the signal, it temporarily locked itself. After 2 or 3 issue, the phone sounds went off.
I think, phone starts a search after signal loss, then it tries to execute rest after 10 or 30 seconds either the signal comes back or not. After some trials it cannot reload sound .dll and sounds lock forever. But after soft reset, everything gets fine again.
To be sure about signal loss, I took the phone in flight mode for one day and wait for the same bug and the second BINGO came Phone didn't show the same bug.
After all, I reflashed the official ROM of TD2 and tried the same things but nothing changed. It's sure that the bug is not due to the wrong flashing the ROM.
For now, I'm sure that the bug occurs because of poor GSM signal of Vodafone in my region. So the question comes
Is there anything (such as a registry tweak or vice versa) to make the phone not to lock itself while loosing the signal and searching? Or do I have a way to increase the signal sensitivity?
Thanks for the worthful answers.
Regards
