also keep in mind that your mainboard in the hd2 could be the problem. Had those reboot issues in winmo 6.5 (sometimes when doing nothing but mostly when watching youtube/cpu intensive service).

So i sent my phone to a repair center, they replaced the mainboard and since my phone doesn't reboot > sod whatever again ;) and believe me there are an load of faulty mainboard around sadly :(

Second that, this girl had the same problem and she just got a warranty phone (new)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] redevilz:
I had no problem what so ever when using windows rom, and I used whole bunch of them.

Had freezing from time to time but never reboot issue.

I've searched and there is a whole forum and issue on the HTC Desire rebooting constantly....

The phone rebooted itself just now even with the 800mhz drop.

I am going reflash to stock wm rom and then back to the most stable Nexus Android rom and see what happens from there.

Those of you who haven't had this problem yet let me inform you that this problem doesn't start right away after you flash the rom, maybe couple of days or a week after it started.

Let's try and get it sorted out~!

same problems here, using mdj gingerbread 1.3

but its always freeze while running heavy cpu load apps like games, earth, youtube etc

tried donwclock to around 800 mhz but dont solved =/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] belon_cfy:
Same problem here , randomly reboot.

I m using JDMS 1.62 , only happen on android , WM rom is working fine without reboot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] redevilz:
Well it seems I am not the only one having this problem here.

Anybody running Nexus rom and still having random reboot issues?

Or anyone running Android on SD card without and random reboots?

Could it be the the data on the phone is rewriting the wrong information and causing it some process to fail and to reboot?

It doesn't seem to be the hardware fault(then it would happen alot more often as hardware fail will be permanent and problem would show more frequently) although I have read on the Desire forum people have been sending their phone back for motherboard replacement with mixed results.

Currently reflashing again!

I've had one reboot happen to me this past Saturday but haven't had one since then. No real major issues at all with Nand.

Running Topia HD NAND Build. Runs smooth as butter.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Anárhér:
im giving up the mdj gingerbread, i was flashing dft stock, but dont solve the problem.

My hd2 keeps getting hot and then freezing all the time. Its not the battery, its in the area of the sim card

what i do? its fault of my hd2 hardware?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hendr1k:
nand work great... never reboot may be there is a compatibility issue with your hd2...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] redevilz:
I did a clean install of stock windows and then flashed to Nexus nand which I believe never crashed on my HD2 before.

It is hard to predict what is causing this problem but with the power of deduction I think it is the Desire based nand rom that is causing it.

It's only been 12 hours but looks solid and no reboot so far.

I will use it couple of days and see if it keeps up.

Like I said the problem only happens after few days or weeks later.

Could be something to do with using the phone, installing the app and etc.

I do miss the desire functions and skins though.

Anybody having issue try switching to the Nexus rom, its pretty light and stable.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] redevilz:
Could be a factor

This could be one of the factors.

The phone has slightly different specs depending on the carrier and brand right?

It would be great if we can gather data on which type of phone is doing this.

Mine is non branded pay as you go HTC HD2 in UK with 576mb memory.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] inasar:
I think mine reboot while I was not looking. LOL

I am using the RAFDROID ROM and it has happened to me once only.

It was strange. The phone was beside me on the bed and suddenly it reboot. I think at the time it was sync-ING. I have a sneaky suspicion that its the sdcard.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] redevilz:
I can confirm after 24 hours of using the Nexus rom had no reboots!

Will report back again tomorrow night.

I am sure it has never rebooted, I keep my phone next to me all the time even while sleeping under my pillow. LOL
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dee-Key:
Still no reboot?

I have [02 JAN]-=MDJ Revolution HD v.2.2=-[SQUASH][kernel:MDJ S9.1 OC] and it's killing me!

It happens especially after I go to sleep. Wonder if it could have something to to with the "Alarm Clock PlusV2" app that I've got, since it tends to happen only when that is active. But that would be just weird.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] redevilz:
Crap!

It rebooted again.:mad: Running NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9a_NAND

I think it was after 3 days of use.

Not when the phone was used but when the phone was on stand by with wifi on and auto sync on.

Could it be app crashing it?

Battery was pretty low as well.

Anybody test the phone without the sim card?

I would just like a stable Android os with all functions working without the constant reboot!

or is it really my phone that is the problem :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Raging_Dork:
I was using jdms 1.6.2 on sd card with no random reboots on a 8gig class 6 card. I switched to the nand build and changed to the stock 16gig card it came with cause I thought I didn't need a fast card anymore and started getting random reboots. I switched it back to the 8gig card still running nand build without reflashing and it's been up for over 12 hours no reboots. So I don't know if it's cause it's a class 6 card or something is wrong with my 16gig card. Hope this helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Esaj2:
I MIGHT have found a solution to this problem!

Here's a little story about my HD2:

I bought my device about a year ago. The device was equipped with stock Winmo 6.5 with WWE 1.66 (sadly I don't remember the radio number). No problems with it. After a while, I decided update to the latest stock ROM WWE 3.14 (radio 2.15.50.14). Everything worked fine, exept I started having random reboots on idle. The phone didn't reboot on use, only in idle (sleep mode). It could stay on as long as 4-10 hours, or as little as few minutes.

I started to look solution to this problem, but couldn't find it. Then I decided to get a custom ROM, which was one of the Artemis builds. The rebooting issue vanished.

Couple of days ago, I decided swith to nand Android ("Stock" NAND Android ROM). Everything worked very well, exept the rebooting problem came back. :mad: I tried differend Android versions, radio versions and everything else. Nothing worked.

Now we get to the part which could fix this problem once and for all. Not only in different Android builds, but also in Winmo 6.5 and possibly in WP7.

The solution is to change the automatic network selection to manual! Since there is no clear manual selection in Android, you have to go to settings and manually select the preferred network from the list. I don't know if this is the permanent solution, because it's impossible to choose one and only network, but as long as the reception is good and you don't reboot your device, it should work. I haven't tested if the manual selection disables when rebooting the device. However you can always manually select the network and by doing this you should avoid random reboots on idle.

So the problem shouldn't be in your device, memory card or your custom ROM. The problem is somehow related to the automatic network selection. The actual problem could be in the sim card, or your service provider, or even in the ROM, but you can fix this by manually selecting the network.

This fix also worked with the stock Winmo 6.5 with WWE 3.14 (radio 2.15.50.14) where I had these same problems in the past.

I have now used the HD2 for three days without rebooting. :) I hope it works for everyone else as well.

Couse of the reboots

I think I know what couses the reboots on my phone.

The reboots only happen when i am on 3G. I know this becouse when im at home i dont have 3g but at work i have 3g. And reboots only happen when im at work.

Anyone that can confirm this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aasgevi:
I can confirm.

I have the same problem when I am on 3G. Now I have permanently disabled 3G and everything is working fine!

I also had the same problem when using Artemis ROM.

Kiitoksia tosi paljon Esaj2! Thanks a lot, Esaj2!

I'm pretty "late to the game" on this topic, but I still wanted to thank you for your wonderful advice about the HTC HD2 rebooting problem.

I also live in Finland (Hyvä Suomi!) and have an HTC HD2 on Saunalahti (still running stock WM6.5 - version 3.14).

It started to have overheating problems about six months ago, and I finally took it to be checked. The service center didn't say exactly what the problem was, but they replaced the entire motherboard so it seems there was something pretty seriously wrong with the original.

After that, it hasn't gotten nearly as hot (although it does get pretty warm pretty quickly when I'm surfing the net or watching videos), but immediately after I got it back from service it started randomly rebooting MANY times a day. I researched the topic online and found three possible causes - bent battery contacts, old SIM card, faulty SD card - but none of these seemed to be the reason for my rebooting problem.

Then I discovered your post today. I immediately manually switched the network to GSM and so far, so good! Plus, I have gone from one "bar" of reception to four!

Hopefully this fix will continue to solve my rebooting problem because, even though it's getting pretty old, I still love my "Leo" and hope to keep it for as long as possible. (Maybe someday I'll even get brave enough to try putting Android ICS on it!)

So, thanks so much again! YOU ROCK! :good:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordjish:
Hi Guys,

I am running the the latest Axura ROM (2.2.5.7 I believe) and have now purchased the premium versions of the following Apps: ROM Manager, Titanium Back Up & Launcher Pro.

With all this awesome capability, what should I do in the way of a back up to restore my phone if something ever happens? Basically my goal is to be able to go into recovery and restore my phone totally if I FUBAR it.

Please keep in mind I just entered this world as of Sunday starting with Rooting and then ROM flashing : D

Thank you for all your help now and in the past!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
From another post I made:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordjish:
Well I just backed up my ROM through ROM manager... I have another one in there too dated Saturday (when I first flashed) which I assume is my stock vibrant ROM...?

I do have the Pro version of Titanium... how would I back up everything for a one click set-up?...If I did that should I just delete my ROM back up in ROM manager? Trying to avoid unnecessary redundancy and the wasting of precious space on my phone : P
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
Go into Titanium and click on Backup and restore and than click on menu and then batch and then select backup all user apps. then run batch file. You also have the choice to back up system data as well. I would not recommend deleting any of your backups in Rom Manager. Just backup all of your apps(and system data if you wish) and you are good to go.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordjish:
Thanks all!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
Why is that? Nandroid backups are very large, and if you're playing it safe and making a nandroid each time before flashing a rom, you will run out of space very quickly. You should always keep at least one (for me its my most recent, stable, daily driver), but it certainly is NOT necessary to keep all of them.
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
Anyone know how to keep the capacitive lights on even when the battery is below 10%? I disabled the energy saving mode in the settings but it doesn't seem to effect the outcome. I don't mind getting down and dirty and modifying some system files. Just don't know where to start. Thanks.

Hello, I am kind of new to all of this. I was wondering which custom ROMs have working 4G. It is hard to know because none of them say, except for like one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
Pretty much all sense roms
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 993:
From what I've seen, any ROM that is based on Sense will have 4G working. Take a look at the device FAQs & stickies on this site and search as much as possible to get up to speed. This community moves quickly, but the variety of customization is staggering.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoogle:
All roms based on Sense in the title will have working 4g. A hint that the rom has sense is that the title will usually give the latest version number (e.g. 3.70.xxx).

Any rom labeled AOSP or Gingerbread will NOT have 4g.

[Focus General] Fairtrade128:
If i have successfully used an sd card in my focus, can i use it on my computer again? (after formating of course)
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
Not unless you can reformat it inside a Nokia/Symbian phone. Whenever you format a card in WP7 it uses the SD Card's security feature to lock the card to the phone. Unfortunately, Nokia dumbphones and most smartphones running Symbian (which is mostly Nokia anyway) are the only devices commonly known to be able to read and format a microSD card that has been locked using the SD card security.
[Focus General] Fairtrade128:
well now...thats not cool...
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
As ****ty as it is, it's something they have documented in the manual (yeah, I know no one reads them) and they've always said they don't support "user-replaceable storage". In the case of the Focus, it's "user-expandable" and even then they suggest that it is done at the time of initial purchase. Of course, with there being all but zero easily available certified cards (worse-so when talking about cards available at stores), this is nigh-impossible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rockstarar:
What do you guys think?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
if you have the patience, wait and see. there might be more phones and ones which you like.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rockstarar:
But what if nothing does? i cant wait ANOTHER WEEK. besides, if it gets announced next week, it wontbe out for a while.
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
CES is a few days away, you might as well wait at this point. What's the rush!
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
It's get updated to the newest version of WP7? I don't really expect any mind blowing devices from Microsoft at CES, otherwise there would be a leak or something by now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Then why the hell are you asking us?

The DVP is cheaper than an HD2, and is a better phone in almost any way.

The only time I'd recommend getting an HD7 is if the person is on a budget (since it's in T-Mo stores you can do an installment on it) or they're ignorant and keep saying "but it's 4.3" dude!!!"

At that poing I figure the battle is lost and they should just do what they want to do.

I say get the DVP if you can, or wait for what's coming out at CES. I don't recommend the HD7. It's quality does not compared with most other WP7 devices...
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
I agree with N8ter, the HD7 isn't doing WP7 any favors. That said, I wouldn't choose the Dell either but rather go for either of the Samsungs or LG devices (model depends on where you live).

As for waiting until CES - sure you can wait, but like you said yourself, even if there is something amazing announced that's all it is - an announcement. Actual release would be a lot later in the year. Personally though, I don't think we'll see much improvement in terms of hardware for another 8-10 months. Microsoft (and OEMs) put too much time and effort into the 8x50 series to throw it all away so soon after release and start releasing the mythical dual-core handsets.

Realistically, I'm hoping for devices running the same SoC but with improved cameras and 32+ GB storage before the next real wave of devices, but I'm not really holding my breath for that either. The sad thing is that there are phones coming out now doing 1080p video whereas all the WP7 devices struggle (more or less) to encode (not to talk about decoding) even 720p with good framerates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I agree, I don't think we are going to see anything mind blowing until the fall at the soonest.

dvp is not cheaper than the hd7, you can get it for 70bucks at walmart right now.

I know you hate the screen, but what are you basing this whole "dvp is better than the hd7" rant on?

Same OS running on less memory. Dell doesn't have the greatest track record on phones, and the dvp has been plagued by issues causing 2 delays.

I say that if you are gonna get a new phone every year (most of us do), then on t-mobile you have 2 choices (for tmous anyways).

HD7: hd2 with wp7 on it instead of winmo, 16gb internal storage (via microsd).

DVP: physical keyboard, less RAM then the hd7, but I think the internal storage is nand so that is a positive.

I was ready to jump on the dell bandwagon, but the device has had so many problems just getting released, that I decided to go with what I knew (hd7).

Everyone bashes the screen, but when I show the phone off, I don't get any comments on the screen being washed out. I get, "wow, that's a big screen, no wonder you can watch tv and movies on it."

If you can get your hands on a dvp, then play with it and go with what you like. But Tmobile stores do not have them to try out and only the 2 MS stores in the USA have them to play with, otherwise you have to order online.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rockstarar:
everybody says that, but the hd2 doesnt have 720p recording and it has a 65k color screen vs 16m on thehd7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Don't feel like going over the anatomy of touchscreens.

To the person talking about Walmart prices, don't be ignorant. Walmart prices are double subsidized and if u cancel the line you pay two etf fees (450 total).

You have to be dumb to think those prices are comparable.

Hd2 is 199 from T-Mobile. Dvp is $149 with contract from dell (16gb model).

Why I think its universally better is pretty obvious if you have read my other post. Don't feign ignorance in this thread. I'd hate to assault this one with mega-quotes...

EDIT: Also, the HD2 hardware supports 720p video recording, but Windows Mobile 6.5 does not. 720p recording was disabled in the hardware. So much for that... They use the same cameras. They even have the same pink tint bug that the HD2 exibited.

I don't think Windows Mobile 6.5 supported more than 65k colors. All three phones (HD2, Evo, HD7 use the same TFT LCD panel).

Good job thinking the differences were hardware differences instead of OS/System limitations, though!

EXAMPLE: The Omnia II was released with an AMOLED display that supported 16M colors, but since it ran Windows Mobile 6.5, it was limited to displaying 65k colors. Sound familiar?

Windows Moile 6.5.x on an HD2 = 65k colors

Android on an HD2 = 16M colors
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
The HD7 is $100 from Best Buy. My girlfriend got one from there and loves it. It's a little lighter than the Venue Pro, a little thinner, has twice as much RAM, the same CPU, the same 16GB microSD storage, a better camera even with the red push, better flash, and feels much more solid in my hand than my Focus. The rubbery back is actually really nice on it. What are your specific complaints about the build quality?

What's the Dell's screen like outdoors? I know it's regular AMOLED rather than SAMOLED and those generally don't perform well in the sun.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Read the other thread where I made fairly extensive posts about it.

And the LCD panel on the HD2/Evo/HD7 has worse Viewing Angles than an AMOLED or SAMOLED screen, worse color saturation, and bad contrast as well.

It's not like I didn't carry around both my HD2 (as a media device, it can sync Zune Pass Subscription content) and Vibrant for months after I upgraded my phone.

There are comparisons on YouTube...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTrmfc1It4E

Sorry, but there's no comparisons between those two display panels. You only need to watch the first 5 seconds of the video to see.

The Venue Pro is bound to weigh more because it has a slide-out keyboard, BTW, but it's easily one of the best constructed phones of 2010. The HD7, not so much (build quality is not on the level of the HD2, even).

The HD7 certainly doesn't have a better camera than the DVP, and the speakers on the HD7 is pretty bad.
