I have run this phone is every possible configuration and it still just reboots randomly like the rest of you are referencing.

Reboots in any of these setups:

1. Stock T-Mobile

2. Stock Rooted

3. Stock Kernal - BulletProof Rom

4. Faux Kernal - BulletProof Rom

5. Faux Kernal - Energy Rom

6. Stock Kernal - Energy Rom

7. Stock Kernal - Energy Rom with No additional Apps installed.

Changed batteries.

Just randomly reboots. 5-6 times a day. Especially when coming out of a Locked state. But most times its when the phone is just idle.

Want to LOVE this phone but this is KILLING ME!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Holy crap.....something new -__-

So my phone died ten minutes ago. I finally get home and press the power button, then think to myself "it died why am I turning it on again ?" (Forgot it was dead)

Then my phone turns on and its on 18%...

Yes I always wipe battery stats and even calibrrated my battery.

This phone is ANNOYING me even though I love it....worse than an ex girlfriend lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Guys let's get things scientific please.

Now what do you and I know from shutdown experience?

1) Shuts down when not on full charge

2) After restart shows wrong reading of battery charge

3) Happens on stock and custom roms and kernels

My theory is that

1) there is some glitch in the code left over by HTC

2) it wrongfully detects that the phone is out of charge

3) it shutdowns the phone to conserve battery (which is a normal behavior when phone is about 1-2% charge level )

Someone that has this problem many times a day please do a logcat so a dev can look over it. We actually have a chance to fix it.

Hit thanks if you agree :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Konowl:
Can we hit thanks for you pointing out the obvious? Keep things scientific? Hate to knock you off that high horse of yours but we kinda figured it was your hypothesis anyways before you pointed it out - thanks for being scientific though.

Anyways feugo - I manually wiped cache battery stats advert installed the xboarder 3.5 and managed to go through an entire charge without the shutdown. Not crossing my fingers but will monitor and report back.

Scientific enough for you?
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Great to hear, I'm running sense 3.5 and got about two reboots so far, but that's it just rebooted once each time. Not the usual 5-6
[HTC Amaze 4G] mcs117:
One thing i noticed, the battery percentage might be wrong. I hit 48% and it kept on dying on bootup. I plugged it in for 1 hour, turned it on, it shows 58%. I drain the battery and it shuts down at 40~ percent. I did a battery history wipe, but I think something else might be wrong... Anyone want to test this theory of false battery % reporting?

EDIT: Also, it might be the cpu is currently undervolted too much, which leads to an unstable cpu speed as that the battery gets weaker, the voltage also drops. Because of this, it can be leading to the too low a voltage which can crash/reboot the phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Konowl:
I'm curious what xboarder might have done in his rom that alleviates our rebooting problem - perhaps he found a cure to our problem without even knowing about the cure OR the problem.

I did a search on the market for logcat viewers, and there are a tonne - maybe download one and see what the log files say after a shutdown? I'll wait until I get my first one (hopefully never) and see what some digging resolves.

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

That was one of the oddities of mine - when it auto shuts down, the battery stats upon reboot are whacked. Not sure about the undervolting thing as mine has shut down even at 70% but you never know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Yeah hopefully x has fixed the problem even without knowing its there. Used my phone all day today on his sense 3.5 Rom. No reboots or issues at all. I'll keep u guys posted on my reboots and battery "wackouts" if and or when they happen
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Could it be a semi-isolated issues with a few bad devices that slipped through QA?

Also it sounds like it happens to you guys between 65-70% battery life remaining. Prob doesn't matter, just something that I noticed while reading.
[HTC Amaze 4G] steveruv:
I've had problems with mine shutting off and then it either takes a long time to reboot, or it will go to the android splash screen then shut off.

Did this a lot last week, but no reboots since this past Friday.

I'm on stock rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dnslammers:
I've had mine reboot in the middle of the night when it had been plugged in for hours. I'll see the "Tell HTC" icon on the screen when I wake up and I'll check the uptime on the phone and I'll see that it rebooted a couple hours earlier. It would have been fully charged at that point and doing absolutely nothing....

One other thing that the phone has done in the past coming out of Idle is that when I hit the power button to unlock the phone, my 4 buttons will light up but the screen doesn't. I have to hold the power button down for 3-5 seconds and then the phone reboots.

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

I downloaded a catlog app and have it set for warnings. I really don't know what I'm doing but if I can get logs to help devs I'll be happy to help!

My phone reboots daily so I should be able to get something. Does rebooting reset the logs? or is it just if I pull the battery out i'll lose the logs?
[HTC Amaze 4G] freakboy13:
Dude why are you even wasting time trying to figure this out....

Take the damn thing back. Don't let tmobile bully you around. If you are within your grace period, they can't say squat. Cancel your contract and... Go to another store!

This why I always tell people order via phone. Why? Because you can keep hanging up on the reps(i do this technique quite often) until you get routed to the right one.

Return the phone stop frustrating your self. Yes. Get another amaze.

My amaze is perfect in everyway, no screenbleed , no issues.

My phone does reboot every once in a while. But I have never had a phone that doesn't do this. 5 x a.day? That's bs. Once a week or so...meh normal I think.

Gl hope you get one that works its great phone
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Yeah I guess u have a point, mine rebooted 8 times in a row today. Battery read 65% shut down then said 16% and gave me a low battery warning. I went to reply to a text. Turned off. And kept doing it until I just pulled the battery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] steveruv:
Anyone ever get this after it reboots? Any idea why the battery icon is like that and what it means? Stock Rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
I am getting that same freaking icon. Funny, I had this phone with xboarder for a few months, no reboots, then being an old HD2 owner I went to NRG because I like his work, no knock on X, and that was fine no reboots or auto shut downs for three weeks. Then all of a sudden it starts doing this crap with the shut down.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Konowl:
Yeah I get the same thing after a reboot to be honest. Got a reboot today after 4 days with none after upgrading the ROM. Looks like the SGII will be my next choice.

Too bad, I love this phone. Way to f*ck it up HTC. Never touch your products again after being a diehard for 2 years.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
I was on xboarders bullet proof 4.0 with the 008 kernel and never experienced auto shut downs. I upgraded to X's bullet proof 5.0 with his new kernel and my phone auto shut down at least 5 times a day. So I switched back to 4, reflashed the 008 kernel, and same thing kept rebooting. Flashed recovery of stock, reboots. So I flashed the stock tmo kernel (twice) and am on stock rom. No reboots yet but it's kinda an odd issue being that 4.0 was rock stable until I flashed X's kernel. Even when I went back to 008.
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
I ran fix permissions this morning. No shut downs or funky batt icon. Thoughts
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
All these shuts down, it actually frightens me when I unlock my phone

I never have been afraid of using a phone -__-
[HTC Amaze 4G] daeboe:
I was about to suggest this. I fix permissions every time I flash a ROM. I let it boot completely first, then I go into recovery to fix the permissions. I haven't had any issues. See if that helps. I know after certain battery percentages, battery saver comes on and sometimes if it has an issue, it'll restart your phone or just hard shut it down if it crashes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Will try once my phone decides to auto shut down on Me again.

Thanks guys
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
Which recovery are you all using.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Konowl:
Ugh I'll give this phone a bit longer and try the fix permissions.

What's the quickest way to pull a log file after a shutdown? I get a **** tonne of errors when I look at a logcat program when it shuts down but not getting much details from it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
while on the stock back up i made and the stock kernel i got one reboot today, im going to try and fix permissions. this is wierd tho being i never got reboots before i flashed the bulletproof 5.0 with X's kernel. i was on bullet proof 4, ics themed rom, and beast mod with no reboots...so wierd
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
I agree. Totally strange. Never had any issues before but then all of a sudden the shut offs and gray icon appeared. Trying to read logcat but that's impossible for a noob like me. I fixed permissions thru ROM manager yesterday. Lasted all day no shut down until 8 hours later. I fixed permissions again thru recovery and flashed 5.0.2.6 recovery. Don't know if that will help but worth a try.

Update- went all day no shut down. Let battery go to 5% last night after flashing recovery. Cleared stats, fixed permissions, charged with power off all night, calibrated battery in morning again. No probs so far. 1 day and went all the way to 4% battery.

Running NRG. Stock Kernel
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
I don't know and searching sucks balls on xda app. Unfortunately I don't have access to a computer all day to search it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
I'm on the 5.0.2.6 recovery also. I fixed permissions and am on the stock Rom and kernel. No issues so far I'm wondering if this is a hardware or software issue because it just randomly started doing it. I feel like that's the case for others as well
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
Is this only happening on rooted Amazes or stock ones as well. Seems most you guys are all rooted and what not. I have never once had an auto shutdown and hope I never do, but I am all stock and was thinking of rooting soon. This may make me hold off though.

If it does happen on stock Amazes, then I think a bad batch made it out.

Sorry guys, that definitely would be beyond frustrating.
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
Totally random, I don't think It's hardware because I didn't have a problem with it for so long and then multiple people got it around the same time. So maybe it is an app that was updated automatically by market which would explain the sudden rise in complaints. Btw. No shut downs since Thursday night but did have grey icon for a few minutes last night. Happened shortly after I rebooted the phone after charging.

On logcat I see a recurring alarm warning but might as well be Chinese to me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
yeah im getting more more reboots....my phone has been rebooting about 25-35 times an hour for the past 6 hours.

this has ruined my life honestly. i need my phone for work and always have people texting and emailing me.

idk what to do guys ive tried everything :(:(:(:(
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
Something is going on like a virus affecting the phones ability to read its battery. Will go back to stock. Binary had lots of issues with reboots before but they cleared up. I had a shutdown again today but the problem seems to be easing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
I just noticed upon reviewing battery drain log that right before the shut down it logged that I was charging the phone. This is not correct. I hadn't charged the phone all day. So something is causing a shock? Thoughts?
[HTC Amaze 4G] killerjs:
did anyone ever find a solution to this problem? If not does anyone know if this problem is covered by warrenty if you unlocked your phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
It actually mysteriously stopped happening to me a while ago...ever since I flashed these ics roms the auto shutdown started happening again. About twice a day. Very annoying
[HTC Amaze 4G] aznvi3tric3guy:
When I was on android revolution hd 2.2.1 I had random shutdowns too. I switch to speed Rom and that's solves it
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
Mine was a defective battery
[HTC Amaze 4G] Anon1213:
Mine did that occasionally I just reflashed with a full wipe and i've been fine ever since
[HTC Amaze 4G] SirWizzAlot:
It still happens to me. I have to unlock my phone very slowly to avoid wake-offs. It still randomly powers off from time to time though.

Currently on Energy ICS w/ Sense 3.6 with Kernel to match.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sdv325:
I was and still having the same issue. For me it usually only happens when i have the OEM HTC battery in use, when the new Anker batteries are being used it doesnt just shutdown.

If i dont allow the OEM battery to fully drain every now and again i notice the issue happens more and more. However when i let the battery go fully dead, keep it dead for a few hours, charge it back to full and leave it plugged in for a few hours it seems to calibrate the battery.

pretty sure i have a weakened battery, once after i powered up the phone the battery icon was red with a exclamation mark through it. Let it completely die, fully charge it and it works again...for now

I also had the auto shutdown / random reboots which was very annoying. However, after upgrading to ICS the issue disappear completely.
[HTC Amaze 4G] killerjs:
new battery solved my problem, but my phone would only restart when it wasint connected to a charger
[HTC Amaze 4G] RussianBear:
I have also experienced this (just started on Friday): phone shuts down and the battery % is different on the next boot-up (that is, if it boots up w/o shutting down again). taking the battery out and putting it back in seems to help. i haven't gotten the grey battery icon yet, but i do suspect the oem battery as the culprit. have a spare chichitec battery from sensation that doesn't seem to do it. seems like a lot of people have this problem.

p.s. one thing i did notice is Swype would lose some of its settings, so i've uninstalled it and re-downloaded it as well. No shut downs since, but i still believe it's the battery.

update: it shut down again while opening the camera app. i've put the chichitec battery in to see how it fares.

I have a problem with installing custom ROMs. When I have installed it and try to launch it, it just hangs at the beats logo (HTC Sensation XE). So... What to do? I'm fully rooted, S-off, SuperCID etc.

Thanks!

What Rom u flashing ?????

Edit

How long do u leave it to boot ????
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
If you are trying to install an ICS ROM, you need to update your firmware also, or you won't get past the beats screen.
[HTC Sensation] andy1969:
i had the same problem and the above post is correct u must flash new firware before installing the rom otherwise it will hang on logo.

download latest firmware flash that first then install rom , i would also maybe use s wipe also after installing the firmware to give a nice fresh rom install.
[HTC Sensation] niiicola:
I know I need to update my firmware first, but if I do that, I'm in a bootloop. That's even worse.

[HTC Sensation] pauicardeno:
Hi!

I came from ARHD 4.1.10. I installed the new firmware, you can pull the battery out after installation finishes or even when it boot loops. Then remove sd card, use a card reader to manually remove the img file. Put it back, Then boot to recovery, superwipe, flash new rom :)

Be careful using an old ARHD version, make sure to update your 4ext touch recovery to latest version afterwards :)
[HTC Sensation] niiicola:
Thank you really much! So, I have firmware version 3.25 now, and for the roms I need 3.24. Can I install a rom with version 3.25?

I removed gv and removed my sprint number from it

I had a VM come in and instead I got a text saying I got a VM and the app shows nothing. I sent myself a VM from the app but it never arrives

sent from my Galaxy S 2 from Sprint on unnamed 2.0.1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
I had a similar issue ... didn't have GV installed or hooked up, but my Visual Voicemail wasn't working. I came across a post( you can search if you want to find it ) but it basically said to do the following, which worked for me. The issue was that GO SMS( or anyother 3rd party sms app, maybe even Google Voice ) was messing with the voicemail recieving the messages.

1.) Uninstall Go SMS, or whatever app you have.

2.) Go to applications, manage applications, and find the voicemail app, now force close it and clear data.

3.) Go to the about phone, and system update, and then update profile.

4.) Now relaunch the voicemail app

5.) Reinstall Go SMS( I never did that, just left it uninstalled for now )

After step 4 I started getting voicemails in my visual voicemail app again. I'd say try those steps, or whichever ones pertain to you, and see if it works after.

why is there no native Linux,

Why would you want to run a linux OS on your phone? It has much to small of a screen to do anything useful and a netbook is far cheaper than this phone is. And you cant actually use it as a phone if you are just running a linux OS.

Also you can install and run Ubuntu or a couple other Linux distro's if you want.
[HTC EVO 3D] commodore256:
Remember The VAIO-UX?

Some of us like to have a full Desktop OS in our Pockets.

I bet if the VAIO-UX (umpc) was $200 instead of $2,500 when it first came out, it would of sold like netbooks.

I hate simplified OSes! I can't get anything done with them and they're too gimmicky. I wanna actually get stuff done on the go.

I'm the kind of person that wants a full Desktop OS in my Pocket with a physical Keyboard and VNCs don't cut it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcurran:
BUMP: I totally agree. this chroot crap is lame and useless. It would probably be less work to just dual boot a native arm port of debian or some other distro, then all the work that went into chrooting live distro iso's. I don't understand why they already released ubuntu-arm and are now announcing ubuntu for arm as a separate project that doesn't look like it's even getting anywhere. If you don't understand why you would want a native install of linux on your phone, then you don't deserve to own that hardware, these new smartphones have better hardware then most cheap tablets and notebooks have nowadays anyways.
[HTC EVO 3D] unixon:
I agree to an extent. I think that Mint, Ubuntu, or even Arch would be painful on this screen because of the desktop UIs in contract to the 4.3 inch touch screen. But the gaps should be closed. If we have the ability to load any OS on our phones, #1. they'd finally be as good as regular computers #2. tablets like the Nexus 10 would actually be worth my consideration #3. we'd have a whole new way for devs to expirement. And maybe we could even close the gap between mobile and desktop OS's. Android does not have an ecosystem like OSX+iOS, W8+WP8. Ubuntu OS sounds nice but it isn't Android xD. I really wish that Google had some sort of desktop solution other than the Chromebooks. Android is the best OS I have ever used, and if they made a Linux distro that'd just seal the deal.

Hey everyone, it's true. I got a hipster white iPhone. And I love it!

Here's how it happened. I some how got water under my battery and it's cover (a decent amount) and I tried turning it on and charging it. It didn't start so I put it in rice, for two days nothing happened.

I needed a phone so I used my upgrade for the fruit phone. I noticed the battery life is amazing, like really amazing. I haven't jailbroken it yet because I'm starting to think its just waste of time. Unless your cracking apps...

Or tethering

Overall I couldn't be happier, I won't say I'm an I sheep because I don't even have iTunes on my linux machine so I only use pandora. But yes, I will buy the iPhone 5 unless the next nexus (jellybean 1) is able to feel as fluid as ios. No more exuces. Duces.

Oh yeah I found out the nexus battery got shorted out by the water so I just order the extended battery. So I'm braking my Optimus s and puting the nexus on. So yes I will still be around these parts of the Internet.

Also why is the iPhone forum here blank?

Feel free to post your android to IOS transition here I suppose.
