I have SetCPU also installed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandalf15:
fix not working

but try this:

after using gps turn it off in settings, then reboot the phone

since two monts no SoD
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_Jack:
Yes, you're right and that is the workaround I used, but who wants to have to reboot their phone every time they use GPS? :(

My solution was to upgrade to a Galaxy S II and give the Desire Z to my GF who has little use for GPS. :D Thanks for nothing HTC!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drogacho:
Hi,

Some news about this problem?

I have installed the last radio, do the fix of "WORKAROUND GPS drivers" post, and the "sleep of death" returns again.

My DesireZ was unlocked with GFree and rooted with Unrevoked method. I was read something about the reason of the "Sleep Of death" is a underclock problem. Well, the frequencies of my htc desire are: 385 for the minimum, and 1024 for the max. And the SOD returns again.

I start to think that this is a hardware problem. (battery problem?)

Thanks again and sorry for my bad english!.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_Jack:
That didn't work for me either.

I'm sure that has no relevance to the problem as it also occurs with the stock ROM.

Increasing the minimum clock frequency seems to have worked for some people but made no difference for my phone.

It's nothing to do with the battery. I tried 4 different batteries. Some people say a different MicroSD card makes a difference but again I did not find any improvement on my phone, even after changing to a Sandisk class 10 card. I am sure it is a fault with the GPS hardware. I was hoping there would eventually be a workaround in software but I've given up now. :(

My advice is to try and get your phone fixed by HTC under warranty if you can. Good luck.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasa66:
I've been following these threads but this is my first post here.

Just want to let you know that I got my Htc Desire Z from service couple days ago. Issue was SOD with GPS.

It seems that HTC has some knowledge about this since my IMEI has changed (board changed) in service and no SOD after since.

It seems there is HW bug and I encourage you to send your devices to service to get this fixed.

Happy HTC desire Z user again..:D

AGPS Patch HTC Desire Z 3.1 & 2.2 | Tentative Support

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472870

I try this for 35 hours now, GPS is still on and no SOD since the patch. I have used Navigon and Google Maps several times to force a SOD.

I will give notice if a SOD happens. And if not, i will give feedback after a week or later.

Maybe other try out, too?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
Tried the AGPS Patch.. rebooted phone.. had GPS *off* and got a SoD within 30 mins. I get them roughly once every 2-3 days. I've gone as long as a few weeks without having one before, though, so I dunno. Running an ICS ROM, though it happens no matter what I use.

It's either hardware or the radio I think.. nothing else makes sense. I've tried different kernels, different frequencies, different clock speeds, different CPU scaling rules, etc. Nothing helps, nothing is consistent, seems random.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DLH007:
Hello,

Now after 7 days, the SOD happens :(.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
Thought I'd update this thread with my personal experiences the past few months.

So, like others in this thread I've narrowed down the issue to GPS. If GPS is used by an app it will SoD at some point while the phone is in deep sleep. If, however, after using GPS I turn it off and reboot, I am good.

So my only option is to reboot after using GPS or feel the wrath of an SoD randomly. It sucks but at least I know the exact cause and a workaround.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telenut:
Same problem occurs on my girlfriends phone.

It seems like the only solution is bring back the phone and hope they give back an other one without the problem?

Had anyone luck with an other ROM?

I could give the godspeed kernel a try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847724

But then I have to root the phone (How to convince a girl to let you root her phone... hmm :p )
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PPjev:
Changing the ROM didn't help me. The thing that helped me, was to change the phone by warranty.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Nope, I've tried a large number of ROM and kernel combinations. Some seem to work ok, for a while. But they all SOD eventually. If you have the opportunity to get a warranty replacement, do it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
I just choose not to use GPS unless I know I'm going to be rebooting my phone :P

A crumby trade off but at least you won't get SoDs.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Pretty much. I just turn on GPS when needed, then reboot when I'm done. Stupid thing to have to do, but it works ok.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firthmj:
Another Desire Z user having SODs.

Was on the stock Vodafone Gingerbread ROM, and rooted and reflashed because of the SODs.

Two days later and their back (I tried the EliteMOS ICS version from here)

Not aware that I've been doing anything with GPS most of the time, but its possible that something's been using it in the background)

Was going to give up on the phone, but perhaps I'll try again with GPS off (assuming the disable is easy to find)

Is there a good guide for reverting the phone to as close as possible to stock in case I need to try and get it replaced?

Thanks

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauroKTD:
I'm gravedigging this thread as i'm not sure whether it's the case to open another one.

I recently flashed Flinny's Andromadus build 21, passing from 4 months with Mimicry 1.5 and 1 year with stock Gingerbread.

This deep freeze issue never happened to me before, so i suppose it's not an hardware fault: but still it did happen a couple of times, and both when i needed my phone (and was far away from my pc with Logcat to check wether any life signal came from it).

Anyone have a suggestion for what i can do to solve this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightblu:
How to (re)initialize GPS hardware similar to booting?

Hi,

sorry for gravedigging too, but i have the same issue and it seems like this never got solved, or even a reasonable explanation, and i want to add my experiences..

I have exactly the most common description you find here and in http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=204452881 (and some more places), my phone runs absolutely stable when never enabling GPS, it runs stable when GPS is enabled and i'm actively logging GPS tracks (have done that for 8+ hours continuosly), but when i turn GPS off again (or have an application running which uses GPS only sporadically) the phone SODs within 0-3 hours after having GPS powered up.

I was on many different ROMs (stock, CM 7.2, AOSP 4.2, Flinny CM 10.1, some modded Vision, and finally IWLT CM7 875 with pershoots kernel) and the issue is everywhere the same, i also tried various clock freq settings.

Trying some logging programs i see that the phone really dies completely because logging stops when it does.

What i still need to do if it is possible to connect via adb and do a logcat after SOD .. but i guess there won't be any output..

The workaround is as described here, always reboot the phone after using and disabling (so no background app sporadically enables it again) GPS.

So this seems to be an hardware issue, because not too much people have this problem and different ROMs do not change anything for most.

Furthermore, some report that the problem disappeared when it was sent to HTC for repair .. but what could this be ? Although it really seems to be a hardware bug, or at least some differences in hardware, the problem seems to be solvable by software (because a reboot avoids the SOD later).

So i'm wondering, is there a way to initialize the GPS hardware like android does it when it boots? So i could just run a small shell-script instead of having to reboot my phone? I have a rooted phone and some solid experience with linux, but not too much Android knowledge .. thought of something like unloading/reloading the gps kernel module or something like that? Anyone got pointers for that idea, or further ideas how to an initialization like the booting process does it?

I'm really wondering what may be the cause of this, i just can imagine something like the GPS firmware having a bug/flaw, drawing too much power when the GPS unit is not shut-off correctly or something like that ..
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
OOPS! I messed up in odin when flashing my first rom, with my new $200 phone my dad bought me two days ago. As you can imagine I am extremely sad, and I need some help. Anyways, I think I did something in Odin that messed up my modem.bin, which explains why i have a circle with a line throught it on my notification bar where the signal status would usually be. So, I thought, the DJ05 update has modem.tar, and I flashed that with Odin, but I still have that same circle with a line through it. Plz Help
[Fascinate General] godihatework:
Flash in PDA. Not phone.

Good luck.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
yes, if you are lucky PDA will work... Try it and if it doesn't work, there are other things you can do.

But if you're not going to read and respond to this thread. I'm just wasting my time typing this out for you.
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
Been doing

Thats what I've been doing, I flashed it in PDA before flashing the rest of DJ05. I have read, and Im not just posting this without looking.

-Dan

Edit:

Do I need a PIT file to flash the modem, because I haven't been using one.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
No, you don't need a PIT file with the modem. What did you flash initially that started this problem? There may not be anything you can do.
[Fascinate General] BrwnSuperman:
Sign up for the extra insurance. Step on your phone, pay the $80 deductible and get a new phone. Cancel insurance.
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
Well, I rooted it, installed clockwork mod, and then the SuperClean Rom. Then I decided to go back to my Nandroid backup, but that was unsuccesful so I went to do something in Odin (I think I was trying to restore to DJ05 again). Please tell me all of my options. Im already extremely upset, and the phone was bought off Ebay N.I.B so there is no option of that insurance.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Do you know exactly what it was that you flashed via Odin and how you did it? Was it something in this forum, another forum? Was it something for the Telus Fascinate? Did you use the phone button or pda button when flashing?
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
To be honest, I really cant remember what I was flashing, I as probabley trying to re-install DI01. It wasn't anything from Telus or the Vibrant, it was specifically for Verizon. And I always did it in PDA. Except today I flashed the DJ05 modem.tar using phone. Hope thats not bad.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
That would be the problem, and there isn't a fix as far as I'm aware.
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
Ok, well even without that, my point is I did this about an hour ago. And even before every flashing in phone I had this problem. :confused: I am so upset.
[Fascinate General] nir36:
Please post in the relevant forum next time.

Thank you.
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
My apologies. Any Updates?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
If you flashed via the Phone button at any point, your phone is no longer usable or fixable unless someone has found a fix that I haven't seen yet. Whether the problem started before you used the phone button or not, using the phone button pretty much guaranteed there is no way to fix it.
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
Im a NOOB so I might not be right, but here is my argument. There have been people with the same prob. that pressed the phone button before. Theyre solution has been to flash a new modem.bin. I just want to know WHY after having the same problem as other people, and taking the same solution my phone still doesnt work. I don't know, maybe im just not willing to take a broken phone as an answer.... but...
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
As far as I know, no one has recovered their phone after flashing the modem via the Phone button. Any links to support that?

Right now Im going to Odin restore DI01 stock to my Fascinate and then try and OTA update via Wi-Fi if that is possible.:cool:
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
You can't update OTA via wifi... That contradicts itself. And if you are flashing to stock DI01, what are you hoping to update to? DL09 isn't available yet.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Have you tried flashing the all in one di01 by adrynalyne? That may be you only option.

Also, samsung gives a warranty, you might be able to take it to vzw in worst case scenario.
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
Welk as I read on x.d.a today dl09 was officially released for download by ota. Im 90% sure
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
And yes I have,tried the all in one aka fix all di01, but nothing good happend. But maybe that's because I flashed without a pit file.one more thing, is it possible that clearing dalvik cache will help?
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
No pit won't do anything. Call vzw and ask about activating/troubleshooting your phone.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
I'm 100% sure it was announced today, but it hasn't started rolling out yet. And you have to be connected to the network to receive an OTA, so that isn't going to happen
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
Ok. But Please if anyone has any possible solutions, please post cause I NEED this phone to work.
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
Well, I got the signal working :):):) , but the only thing is I need to update my prl, as it got corrupted, and Whenever I try to plug in my phone cdma workshop, in diagnostic mode, it says failed to connect to phone, please help.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
You can't do *228 option 2? You can download it manually from http://www.roamingzone.com/prl/#Verizon but if you can't call out to get the new one, you may still have a broken phone.
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
Im flashed on Cricket. And I was never able to update with *228 opt.2 even before this prob.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Is it possible the phone you got from ebay was messed up?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Or that it got messed up when flashing it to Cricket?
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
No I used it on cricket for about a week after I bought it. It was practically new in box.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
wtf is cricket?
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
Cdma carrier, pretty popular near my area.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
So you flashed a rom for a different carrier on your verizon fascinate?
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
No, he flashed a different radio onto it so that it connects to Cricket's network instead of Verizon.

I thought i had a perfect Nexus S with none of the other problems people have reported.

That was untill earlier today when making a call.

Every now and then i could hear my own voice echo :confused: ... anyone else had this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
there's 2 type of Echo

Echo via your cell phone provider (tower issues)

Echo when making long distance phone calls (line issues)

Echo from the phone of the person you called (you actually hear yourself after the sound goes out of the Receiver, and back into the Mic)

so which one it is?

I'm guessing option 3.

I say something and then a second or less later hear myself repeated.

Hi everyone,

I need some help with pairing the bluetooth with my Touch2.

Followed the instructions for the headphones, everything happens as it should (red and blue light flashes alternately on the headset), but the phone won't see the headset.

Later I saw on the headset box that bluetooth version is "V2.0 + EDR", on the other hand on my Touch2 box b'tooth version is "2.1 + EDR and A2DP".

Is the difference between b'tooth versions the reason that they don't pair, or something else causes the problem? :confused:
[Touch2 Accessories] Nicholaszeng:
Long Press the power button of blutooth headset,then search headset in the Touch2.

Good luck!

I'm sorry for my English!
[Touch2 Accessories] ticovman:
I managed to pair, but first i had to replace the bluetooth headset because it wasn't working properly. I was lucky my friend had the same b'tooth headset, we tried with his and it was a success. It was a bit hard to convince the guy in the store that headset wasn't working properly before i bought it, so everyone: TEST YOUR ACCESSORIES IF YOU CAN IN THE STORE THE VERY MOMENT YOU BUY IT.

Thanks for the answer anyway ;)
[Desire HD General] kalagas:
Hello guys...

I have DHD rooted so I was searching some files with root explorer and I found this:

In sys/android_camera there is a file with name sensor.

So I opened this file with Root Explorer (View as text) and inside I saw the model of camera sensor that DHD uses and it's the OmniVision ov8810 8M...

After a little search in the web I found the official description of this sensor and you can find it here http://www.ovt.com/products/sensor.php?id=61#specifications.

From the Product Specifications you can see that the sensor can take video at 1080p.

So I assumed that we have the hardware but we miss the software...

Am I right???
[Desire HD General] Nadeo4441:
Interesting. It can even take 720p in 60FPS, which would be veeery nice.
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
Ohh, interesting...
[Desire HD General] nex7er:
This does not surprise me. HTC is well-known for hampering their cameras. Maybe in an OTA later on or some crafty XDAer will check this out. I suggest PM'ing the ones who got 720p on the various other phones so they can check this out.

By the way, if my thoughts are correct and my eyes don't fool me, it says "10 @ Full"... even though I'm thinking this is full 8mp @ 10fps recording, this just does not seem real. No way in hell. :P
[Desire HD General] bobale:
1080p? Honestly? I mean, it barely manages to capture 720p@30fps*, let alone 720p@60fps, not to mention 1080p. I know DHD is one of the most powerful phone today, but I seriously doubt it has enough grunt to record at anything over 720p. Of course, I would be very glad if I could be proven wrong, but I'm affraid it won't happen :).

Most of all, I would like to see it record video in 720p@30fps properly, especially in low(ish) light conditions.

On the brighter side, the image sensor does seem to be able to record in VGA@120fps, 1080p@30fps or indeed 10fps in full res, but I imagine it would require pretty fast memory card.

*Or it could be just stock SD card write speed limitation, but I doubt it.
[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
gsmarena.com has been bashing the DHD's camera, in their latest review of the SE arc they even say that DHD is worthy of a true 8 megapixel camera comparison

i'm not on the latest rom so i can't tell if they've really made any improvements on the camera quality and i haven't been taking enough pictures to judge but i think there's no point in having 1080*60fps if the quality of the videos is ****
[Desire HD General] bobale:
They said DHD is not worthy of a true 8 megapixel camera comparison. Corrected that for you.
[Desire HD General] sengork:
DHD can't match the quality of my 7mp camera. Lenses make all the difference, megapixels alone are pretty useless.
[Desire HD General] kalagas:
I use a custom ROM that is based in 1.72 and I have a class10 MicroSD and the video on 720p is very good with no lags...

So the thing I mentioned in first post is that the hardware seems to be capable to shoot in 30 @ 1080p.

No if the phone with all other parts is capable is another thing that some developers could answer...
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
Bang on!

But as a phone I fell DHDs camera is good enough, well for me anyway.

I would certainly like to see how the phone would handle 1080p recording lol, just for fun.
[Desire HD General] leppie:
The CPU does not support video encoding above 720p 30fps.
[Desire HD General] kalagas:
Only the dual cores that comeing up to future phones support encoding above 720p??

That's strange... HTC put different hardware in the same device???
