We haven't got that issue ever, Maybe you can refresh your device with other customized ROM.
[HTC Desire S] ridley1000:
I've had this problem, seems to be with HTC Sense itself since it's not a complete reboot and it recovers fairly fast. All the more reason to root and flash Cyanogenmod when an exploit and build comes out, this is my first Android phone and I'm not really enjoying Sense at all.

I suspect it might have something to do with memory card access. I plugged it into my laptop through removable disk mode and got an error message, and noticed it crashed when I tried to launch gallery which obviously accesses the memory card to find pictures etc.

So far I've sorted out memory card errors and I've removed all Sense widgets from the home screen and I don't seem to have any problems anymore!
[HTC Desire S] Meiz-:
For me this seems to somehow relate to alarm / clock settings, usually reboots shortly after this...
[HTC Desire S] micdoc:
I had a reset when I was talking for more than 5 minutes :mad:
[HTC Desire S] ridley1000:
I've noticed it seems to stop when I'm using one of my own wallpapers, not an HTC Sense one.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
in which you've found your answer.....

I suspect that if your own wallpaper is stored on your SD it could be a bad SD card, try a new card or reformatting the current one.
[HTC Desire S] ze966:
mine crashes a minimum 2/3 times by day. sometimes (most of the times I guess) its when its accessing the sd - bought a new card, and still happen - but for instance today crashed when I was using (by mistake) the default messenger instead of handcent... actually I cant really find a rule so I can say that IS the reason. the best guess I can do about it, its that happen when is doing several tasks OR accessing the sd OR both...

I'm going to return it, its my 4th htc, and the first one with this problem, better said with any problem, the other were like switzerland clocks (hero, desire, desire hd).

the problem is that I cant think of an replacement that wouldnt be a htc :(
[HTC Desire S] j1mmy:
I'm having the reset problem too, together with random freezes, And even without any new apps installed over stock.

Funny thing is I had minor restart problems from 2 weeks ago since I have the phone but just today it completely died on me.

It seems however to not freeze or restart if I don't use it, and just look at it:mad:

Edit: After one factory reset it froze again, after another factory reset again, and after a restart it worked fine, so far that is...

weird thing is it froze up after the hard resets without any new apps installed
[HTC Desire S] ridley1000:
After a while of changing things about, I noticed nothing seemed to be stopping the crashing. I reported earlier that it stopped after removing all widgets and using my own wallpaper, but after a few days it started crashing again. Took it back to the shop, the only solution they could come up with was that it might be from not having the SIM card inserted properly. But they gave me a replacement anyway, and no crashing so far! :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Phone needed first hard reset!

My phone restarted for no reason this morning and stuck at the white HTC logo screen, this is the second time in 7 weeks that this has happened now, but the first time removing the SD card resolved the problem.

Annoyingly, this morning the same thing happened but, removing the SD card made no difference so I had to resort to my first hard reset! :mad:

Very frustrating!! Especially as I was planning on getting my device S-OFF'd next week, but, I'm now unsure whether I should invalidate my warranty myself, in case I might need it! :confused:

Any advice or comments very much appreciated.... :(
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
If you're worried about hw failure, don't do anything that will invalidate the warranty that you can't easily and quickly undo.

I had so so many more issues with the optimus 2x and the only thing I did was root and unroot with super one click. Got away with that. ;)
[HTC Desire S] yourmate:
just lost all of my post typed in the last half an hour...
[HTC Desire S] steladamo:
I have the same problem I am having the phone for just about a week. The worst thing though is that it is not actuallly restarting in my case, but switches off completely. I think has to do with the amazing 3G network of Vodafone Greece, cause often on my previoous windows mobile device the HTC Diamond 2, often was having a similar behaviour. As a matter of fact that was the reason why I replaced it with Desire S. Now I am facing sudden deaths and it seems not to be a hardware problem...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
A bad 3g network shouldn't cause the phone to switch off but simply fail to get signal only. I'd first suggest that you could switch the 3g network and see if the problem still occurs..

Settings-> Wireless&networks-> Mobile Networks-> Network Mode

change the setting to just GSM only and see if the problem still happens?

If it does happen without a 3g connection then, I'd be tempted to try a hard-reset and run the phone with only standard market place apps....to see if the problem happens again.

If it did then I'd consider returning the phone and getting a replacement unit.
[HTC Desire S] Clauds:
Any news concerning this problem ? (restarts without reason)
[HTC Desire S] sandinistabr:
Still talking while "restarting"

Hi,

I got mine 3 weeks ago and I have the same problem. I tried a Factory Reset 4 times, each time testing a different thing: not logging into Google account, not customizinhg anything. The last time I just left it the way it was, but the problem was still there.

It does not seem to have anything to do with temperature.

I hope this is a sowftare problem, but since my unit is S-ON, it will probably take some time before I can use a custom ROM. Also, I cannot return it because a friend brought it from another country for me. Too bad...

Please keep posting your tests, let's try to find out what exactly causes the crash/reboot.

Update! Today I was talking to a friend and I noticed the white screen and the green htc logo. Then I noticed the call was still going on, it did not interrupt! The basic services (phone at least) were still running. In my opinion that's something indicating the problem might be with HTC Sense.
[HTC Desire S] _z_:
Any solution to this?

I had my Desire S for a couple of weeks and have had 6 - 7 restarts of sense in this time. Otherwise it's working properly.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Never had this issue but we should mail HTC about this.. It can be a temperature issue... i guess getting a custom rom can fix this.. maybe the stock one is planned that when its too much hot it resets... other thing that can be is a problem allocating memory... that if not enough ram it resets... that can be a dynamic allocating memory issue.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i have the phone for more than a month now & did not face even a single random restart

the problem maybe with the apps you have installed try uninstalling them one by one & check for restarts ,some apps are not written well & can cause reboots,so while downloading check for the comments on the app & see to it that it has many downloads & not download any random app

& also remember to manually restart your device atleast once a week once a week
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I agree with @kartkkt comments above and believe that he problem may lay with the apps If suggest that you hard reset you're device, don't install any applications and run it for a few days to see if you have any more reboots, this should determine whether it's a device or application problem.

If some occur It may then be worth reformatting or replacing your sd card and possibly even replacing your SIM card

This device has plenty enough memory and I don't believe that there is a problem with the stock ROM as suggested above.

Good luck, report back how you get on.....
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Well, my device never reset itself, but sometimes it resets the home screen... but not that it matters...
[HTC Desire S] _z_:
The home screen?

My resets sense, is that what you mean?

It's not a total reset and it not happen so often but it's irritating when it happens.

Thanks for your advices. I'm a experienced android user, it's my third, and i have tried a lot of things but if this isn't getting better i will do a factory reset and start from the beginning.

One thing I'm testing now is to not use fast boot,. I've used it a lot but off course i have restarted my DS totally to. I think that maybe fast boot can be my problem? I have turned it off and now it's over 24 hours without sense crashed, I'll be back and report if that is the problem.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Exactly, the sense restarts... but it takes some seconds to come back.. it happens ussialy when i uninstall something or when a program is force closed
[HTC Desire S] _z_:
Ok. Some people here in Sweden have reported the same problem.
[HTC Desire S] thangln:
My DS has this problem but after I enable Fast-boot, it has been gone, so I think you should try to enable fastboot and test...
[HTC Desire S] _z_:
I did that for a couple of days ago and it has not happen since then :)

Edit :

Wrong of me, I disabled it.

My English isn't so good :)
[HTC Desire S] Nos0x:
My Desire S seems to reboot every couple of days, always happens when I'm using the device, and it doesn't seem to be linked to any specific app.
[HTC Desire S] WibblyW:
Anyone seen any link between crashes/resets and being in poor signal areas where the phone comes in and out of GSM/3G coverage?
[HTC Desire S] thephm:
Personally I think you might be on the right track with this ... I've seen the phone "restart" a couple of times and each time it does so in seconds, faster that if I'd manually restarted it. And if this was the phone completely restarting wouldn't having fast boot off make it even slower (I have fast boot off on mine)
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
You'd also notice that the uptime sticks if it restarts by itself. Usually happens when i install some probably unstable apps. Uninstall it and it's fine.
[HTC Desire S] Quartzo:
It is very interesting but the HTC website doesn't exist support for HTC Desire S. See: htc.com/europe/support_select_product.aspx
[HTC Desire S] WibblyW:
Try http://www.htc.com/uk/help_howtos.aspx?p_id=391
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Had it happen once or twice. Fast boot makes no difference (always had it enabled.) It seems to happen when the processor overloads if such a thing is possible, eg I inadvertantly asked it to drive to somewhere it can't get to from England (America.)
[HTC Desire S] dchart:
I too have 'sudden deaths', randomly, it seems. Repeatedly, after getting the phone out of my pocket, expecting to be taking it out of stand-by with the powerbutton, I'm actually (cold-)starting the device (beginning with T-mobile operator logo, etc.).

Have tried factory-reset several times, even with not installing any apps nor customizing any settings at all: it still occurs.

I'm suspecting a hardware issue, more specifically, 'bad contacts'. I've managed to turn the phone off a few times by a gentle squeezing of the device near the part where the battery-cover is located. Once had it turn off on me by just putting it on the table. Apart from that, I've never had sudden death while not touching and not moving the device, only when taking it out of my pocket.

I haven't noticed it being connected to temperature or 3G issues, but haven't really paid attention to that yet.

I'm in the process of getting a replacement.

Dannis.
[HTC Desire S] mociulski:
I had exactly the same issue. The phone shut down a couple of times a day. I noticed also that if i tapped the phone harder with my finger it would also turn off.

Turned it in for warranty, where they replaced the battery, and it's been running fine ever since.
[HTC Desire S] htcdesires:
I have this problem too had desire s from June I bought for eBay should have warrenty still, think I should contact HTC and maybe I might get replacement and anyone how did you ask your HTC when you had this problem?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I had this problem at first, when running stock, a couple of restarts, used to have a pin set on my sim, so when it turned off and then back on it's own it wouldn't go back on the network until I noticed and input correct pin, so in the end I removed pin.

Since I've applied custom rom this hasn't happened

Edit

Happened this morning fist tune on custom, but as when running stock and it restarted was using the absolute radio application

.
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
actually I had this problem before when I was still using the stock ROM. It restarts once in a while by itself too... maybe like 1 week once or more.. but after flashing a custom ROM that problem doesnt exist anymore. I'm not sure whats the problem. Maybe try updating your stock ROM or use a custom ROM and see how it goes.
[HTC Desire S] MarlX:
Used to have mine restarts too. Opening an app switching to another restarts and it's really annoying. Then I received that HTC update (good or improved performance update something) and it's been 50+ hours now without crashing. ;)

*All stock btw.
[HTC Desire S] _z_:
I received the update three weeks ago and haven't had a restart since then. Before the update i had a couple of restarts a week.
[HTC Desire S] Meiz-:
Same thing here.
[HTC Desire S] stavoltafunzia:
I too have the problem of the sense rebooting itself 4-5 times in one day, and I haven't a clue of what can cause it.

I contacted HTC support and they told me it might be caused by some software installed: damned HTC support.
[HTC Desire S] DesisreS:
I never had this problem, but sometimes I exit an app like launcher pro and I press the home button, I'll get a white screen with only htc and then it says loading and then it is back to normal...

Maybe try another rom (if you use a rom)
[HTC Desire S] stavoltafunzia:
I'm on stock ROM
[HTC Desire S] WibblyW:
Isn't that HTC Sense restarting?
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
^ Yup that's just Sense restarting.
[HTC Desire S] darryl22:
the wife,s 2 month old one was constantly rebooting today until it completely died and now wont do anything.

has been sent away by the man in the vodafone shop
[HTC Desire S] A2Z:
Here's another Dutch DesireS user from Vodafone that worked for some months and now also occasionally restarts when powering on. I could also trigger the reboot by slightly pressing near the battery cover yesterday I reinserted it and today it seems stable for now...

[HTC Desire S] saphireangel:
Hello.

I'm a new Android user, my previous phone being the Samsung G600 (not a smartphone). So I was really excited to get my HTC Desire S earlier this month.

But since I bought it.... it has restarted / rebooted randomly on its own while I'm doing various things... and sometimes in the middle of using an application. :(

It has done this at least 5 times in the past 2.5 weeks. And I'm rather frustrated by it now.

Any advice for the complete n00b me with my HTC phone problem?

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] A2Z:
See other topics on rsndom reboots
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
How often are we talking?

Initially re-format SD card or maybe get new SIM

Try a factory reset and run it with no additional apps on, if it continues return it to shop and request replacement.
[HTC Desire S] saphireangel:
I haven't timed how often in between, although there was a day where it restarted twice on its own. But in the last 2.5 weeks it's done that more than 5 times.

Is there any other way besides doing a factory reset? My SIM card is a new one, but I've got quite a few text messages on it now that I need to save. HTC unfortunately doesn't seem to allow me the option of saving my text messages on the SD card or transfer it to my PC via HTC Sync.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rforums:
Just a noob sharing his thoughts..

I wanted to update my custom recovery from 1.1 to 1.2.

After searching in the forums, most of them suggested to reflash 1.2 using the original method (type a bunch of commands).

An easier method would be to use the signed recovery zip that mik_os has provided.

Just put the new zip onto the sdcard. goto the current (1.1) recovery, flash the new recovery zip and voila. Recovery updated to 1.2!

ok maybe im on the wrong thread but idk.

WTH?!?! is a new way of google shut us root users down?? i tried eveyrhing. wipe, reinstall nothing.. no luck

had a bunch of other problems with CM7 tho, so i might have borked the install.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] card0124:
It doesn't sound like anything on your end. There are two things your gonna want to do here. The first is check you sim card, where the gold part is. Look to see if there is something near the gold piece that looks like TM*****. If not then replace your sim card. If you do have that then call tech support and have them file a Service Request if this is something that only happens in around a 7 mile are, if it happens everywhere you are then your gonna have to have a trouble ticket filled for your line.

i already did all this when i had this prob on the 1st G2. so what im trying now is erasing everything, flash rom see if that works if it doesnt im gonna unroot, REroot flash rom. it doesnt work im sending this in for a replacement too :p (for the second time)

[General Questions and Answers] yeabilo:
I just received a new g tablet yesterday!

I charge my g tab until the light turn green without power on the g tab for 4 hours on my first charge. After the light have turned green, I turned on my g table immediately and continually charged for 11 hours more.

I have searched for these questions for many times, and each person has different answers and opinions how to charge Li-ion Polymer.

Someone said charge as often as possible

Someone siad Li-ion would not overcharge, but charging battery for long may reduce battery capacity.

My questions are:

1How often charge the g tablet after the 1st charge?

charge the g tablet as often as possible?

Or, only charge the g tablet when the battery low than 10%?

2Power on or turn off g tablet while charging?

3Does high temperature reduces the Li-ion Polymer battery capacity?

Does Li-ion Polymer battery reduce their capacity When the percent of battery is lower than 10%?

4Is it an necessary process to do a full discharge and recharge after the 1st charge? if yes, indicate period plz
[General Questions and Answers] jmdearras:
1. as often as you want. you do not need to discharge Li-ion batteries, like you did with Ni-Cad.

2. does not matter, except that it will take a bit longer to charge with the GTab on.

3. High temperature reduces rhe capacity of any battery. Should not be an issue with the temperatures a GTab will encounter

4. no
