I've been running Black 1.2 for some time. Love it. Never soft reset. Only hard reset it once. I'm using a Cingular 8525. What's weird is that it powers itself off randomly lately. 3 times in a row. It was pretty hot outside when it happened, so don't know if the heat caused it, but the screen would just die and turn off. Anyone have this happen? Any ideas as to what causes this powering down? The battery is full. It was just super hot out? Hmmm.
I would suggest you upgrade to a newer rom dude
take a look in my guide thread which has the latest ROMs listed.

I considered it, but since Black 1.2 was released, I never had a problem with it. Very stable. Could it now after all this time just all-of-a-sudden cause random power-offs? Also, I noticed the device likes to power-off when I slide the qwerty keyboard out and lock it in place. Not every time I open it, but it has happened a few times now. ROM related? Let me know. I'll probably up to a newer ROM tonight.
Thanks.

Ok, update: Seems that EVERY time I slide out and lock the qwerty the device shuts off when I go to reply in a messgae using Palm SMS Threader. Is it the device or the app?
I had the same problem with my old JAMin (Prophet). I would keep the phone in a case and then wonder why I wasn't receiving any calls, then check and see the phone having turned itself off. Reloaded it with a different ROM and the problem went away.
Yeah, that's happened a bunch of times now. Just recently did I hard reset my device, and all was running great like before. Just all of a sudden am I having this issue with power offs and the qwerty kicking the phone off when I open it.
I have the same problem and I have come to one conclusion because I can repeat it.
If you are closing or opening the keyboard, but you do it quickly (like slamming the keyboard shut or open), it will turn off. Also, if you squeeze it while it is closed, it turns off. And I have made sure im not hitting the power button.
Try it and see what happens.
Yeah, it does it when you slide it out really fast. Noticed that. Haven't been able to repeat it every time, but the times it does shut-off, its from sliding it open fast. Now to understand why this happens, since it didn't do this in the past.
Whenever my phone powers on, if I press any button it will automatically shutdown.
This started happening when I flashed Ricky's V24 Vanilla and continues to do so now with Kavana's Final 080408. Before I flashed Ricky's I had his 1.7 Rose, and before that was an older version of Kavana's. I have tried reflashing on both ROMs and Hard Resets.
Battery is brand new and fully charged. I am using jockeyw2001's modified bootloader if that helps.
THIS IS REALLLLLLY FRUSTRATING
Any ideas/help?

Flash back to an original rom, and follow with a hard reset?
Trying that right now, thanks.
Just flashed an original ROM and I still have the same issue. :/
It seems if I hold a button while it's booting up I don't have the problem. Also, sometimes when I just let it sit for a minute or two before I play with it I don't have a problem.
I guess it's a hardware issue?

Stylez has one, but don't trust him, he's a sneaky one
When I bought my refurb'd Dash, I had the same problem using T-Mobile's Windows 6.0 ROM. The only way I could prevent having it shut down was to wait 30 seconds to let the screen turn off after booting up. I was then able to use it, but the power button and camera didn't work. I returned it and exchanged it for another and never had the problem since.
Hi guys/gals.
Got a bit of a problem, and not sure whether it's the actual phone at fault, or the software...
Had the phone for about 4 months now, and have noticed this to get worse and worse... I'm pretty sure it's happened before on the stock rom, but can't remember whether it happened before I unlocked the phone to be able to install custom roms (not security/sim unlock, just a standard unlock to allow custom roms).
Anyway, this is basically how my phone's life has been: I got phone, used standard htc rom. Then, the spl unlocker came out, and I installed that about 2 weeks after it came out (waited just to check people had no probs ). Then, I installed one of the energy roms as my first rom. Installed a few other roms in between, then an updated energy rom etc. Then, I installed the official wwe 6.5 rom. Then, I went back to the energy rom. Currently, I'm using the 26th October (iirc) rom. As I said, not sure whether it happened when I had the official 6.1 rom on (spl locked), but I'm quite sure it happened while I had the official 6.5 rom on (spl unlocked). It has happened tho with all different custom rom images I've used...
Basically, what I've noticed, is that sometimes I'm replying to a text message or email, click reply, pull out keyboard, and it seems to cause the phone to power off. Pressing the power button starts it again. Sometimes, I've not been doing anything, and it's turned itself off. Sometimes, I've dropped the phone (even only a slight drop of about 1cm), and it's caused it to power off.
I've also had times where it's turned itself off, and nothing's allowed it to come back on, other than taking the battery out the back of the phone and re-adding the battery. Then, pressing the power button powers the phone on.
Is this a problem with the roms, a problem with the spl unlocker, or a problem with my phone itself? Am I best contacting htc?
Any advice welcome, as it's very annoying coming to use the phone, and finding it's turned itself off, or when I go to reply, I open the keyboard, and then have to wait for it to load up and power it on to reply!!!
Many thanks in advance
Hi.
It's very anoying for you..
I suppose you should try to (re)install the latest Hard SPL, and to install the latest Radio too. After it, make a hard reset. Next, flash with your favorite ROM And come back here to say us what happens.
See you, and good luck for these manips.

I've had this same trouble. It would happen to me when I would finish typing a text message and hit the send key and slide the keyboard close at the same time. I only really noticed it when I was running the energyroms, however I can not say for sure that they are the root cause of it, as I have waited till the message was sent before closing my keyboard ever since.
Well, since I wrote this message this morning, it's happened at least twice. Both times whilst the phone has been in my pocket...
I will try installing the latest hard spl. Think the radio I have is the latest already. Will also try a different ROM just in case it is energy roms which is causing it (but am pretty sure it happened with other roms).
Thanks for those suggestions, will let you know any outcomes
try Valkyrie. ^^
Well, I went through and installed the new hardspl (altho not sure if any different to the one I had, how would I tell?!). I then installed the image from josh, which had the latest radio and rphone.dll (or whatever the file is called) matched to it. However, doesn't appear to have made any difference. Still doing it...
Does anyone else suffer much with it, and it's just a design fault? Or should I contact htc? As surely it should just turn off when in your pocket?!
No-one else? I'm just the only person. Guess I best drop htc an email then...
my att Rhodium /tilt2 does it too
Ive been dealing with this for awhile now also.... , also return my phone for new one but this one does the same thing my radio is 4.47.25.24 and i have 1.6beta rom by josh build 21882.5.073 .
I have this new T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. I currently have the Stock European ROM (6.5) on it. Before that, I was using the TMO 6.5 version. My problem is that the phone randomly freezes/dies/turns itself off while sitting idle. And every time it happens, I either have to soft reset it or take the battery out and put it back in to turn it back on. Simply pressing the power button doesn't do anything. Funny thing is that this phone is a replacement that was sent to me by T-Mobile because my first device was doing the same thing (which I had for about a month). T-Mobile tech support was just as lost as me. Can anyone here help me?
I have the exact same problem! Have you found a solution or at least learned the cause of the problem ?
Phone turns off ramdomly
Hi
I have the same problem the phone is shutting down ramdomly without any warning and i have to use the power button to turn it on again
any solution guys ??
Did you task29 the rhodium before flashing the new rom?
Sometimes flashing the new rom doesn't clear the memory properly leaving traces of old files to foul up the operation. Flashing task29 before flashing a new rom will stop this.
After you flash task29 there will be NO os on the rhodium. You will need to pull the battery, Put it into bootloader and then flash new rom from PC or use sd card method.
Cheers...
I have exactly the same problem, 2-3 times a day, I need to soft reset it. The phone was working well until I moved from 6.1 (original) to 6.5; I believe the new radio has issues. Any recommendation, flashing the radio does not solve the problem.
I used to have 1-3 SODs a day. Now I have only one SOD a month. My solution was to remove compact framework 3.5 and that weathersolution where you can add new cities. By the way; I upgraded to WM 6.5. Before the upgrade I had no SODs.
Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I recently acquired a Touch Pro 2 (RHOD100, original HTC model) and having exact the same issue. There's no saying when it's happening, but always during an action. Had it when pressing the End key after a call, when pulling the Usb cable from the device, and during other things too.
Hardware seems fine, battery is firmly in place and contacts are fine, and clean.
Having factory WM 6.5 Rom on it. And like mentioned before, I also do have Compact Framework 3.5 installed since it's required by some of my software.
Anyone ever found a solution that's confirmed to solve the issue?
I'm sorry for bumping up an old thread but after doing a search this was the first one that was listed which isn't 'That old'. I have just bought one of these phones, brand new, from factory. It comes with windows 6.5 and runs the OS version for the phone is - 5.2.21887 (21887.5.0.86) The phone seems to randomly just shut off without notice and to be able to turn it back on again to use it, I've got to take the battery out and put it back in again, then it will be able to turn back on. When the phone does enter the state of completely turning itself off. I have noticed that my notification LED light does flash green, I don't know why it does this. But if anyone has some help for me to sort this problem out and enable me to use my phone perfectly then that would be great!
Yet again, sorry for bumping up an oldish thread
Hey there guys , I've been searching through the forum topics about my issue but so far I've found nothing close to my scenario.
A few months ago I bought my first HTC phone (M8). Its a great device for sure , despite the fact that I had to return it back twice.
First time it was a faulty microphone , so they sent me back a brand new device. Great isn't it ?
However recently I've noticed a few .... let me call them 'glitches' .
Let me give you some details on what I've experienced with the device:
Despite the issues that i'm going through ... the phone works great, but...
Sometimes the screen wont turn on when I'm receiving incoming calls (same goes for the alarm clock) but the phone is able to recognize touches - i've managed to pick up the call when I swiped the screen in the area where the "green" answer button appears .
The above issue doesnt happen so often but the thing that bothers me is the unlocking issue.
At first I thought that it was stuck or faulty power button.
When the phone is idle for some time and I pick it up and press the unlock button ... nothing seems to happen I've tried pressing it hard ... i've tried pressing it gently ... i've tried pressing it multiple times until the screen wakes up .
Same goes for motion launch unlocking .
When I use motion launch to unlock it the phone only gives me a vibration feedback ... and thats it until I try harder to bring the screen back to ''life'' .
(I can also press my security pattern buttons while the screen is dead and feel the phone vibrating , BUT NOT ALWAYS , sometimes is just .. dead )
I already sent the phone back describing the same problems and they just flashed the firmware , which did not fix any of the issues.
Stock Rom android 5.0.1 , not rooted
Soo what do you guys think? What can I do next .. is it android bug or a faulty unit ?
is it possible to be a sensor problem (proximity , accelerometer)
Already tried factory reset and dalvik cache wipe.
Any advice would be useful.
Thanks for taking your time .

I have the same issue. There are times it takes me hitting the power button 20 times for it to finally light up but I can press buttons with it black. The weird thing is it does it on every single ROM but I havent noticed it on Stock...maybe I'm not using stock enough to see. I'll probably throw stock on there today and take it into sprint and let them replace it.
I have the same problem whether it's on stock or custom ROM (KK or L). I am pretty sure this is a hardware problem. Unfortunately, my m8 is out of warranty so HTC won't fix it for free. I read it some where that it could be a faulty proximity switch so shining a light beam to the top part of the phone may wake up the screen. I haven't tried it yet because every time it happens, I don't have a flash light handy. It is an annoying problem to say the least.
When this happens, I pushed the power button, the volume up button, and swiping the screens. Eventually the screen would wake up and every thing works fine... until the next time.
Its a ****ing pain in the ass.
however none of the sensor reading apps report a faulty/stuck sensor.
the wors thing... I've already sent my phone for repair, describing the problems in details. .. and it took them a whole f*cking month to bring it back to me with no results.
I don't think they will replace it because its a problem that takes time to be experienced...and no one is going to wait for it to happen. ...
Any other ideas?
Should I wait for android 6.0 or should I try a custom rom too see if these problems presist.
Fml I love the phone but this is frustrating.
I have the same problem I think. I just bought an M8 on Ebay. I am S-off, unlocked and rooted, using the Viper Rom currently. I have also tried AICP, the stock Tmobile Rom and a few others. Same issue.
If I double tap, I feel the screen vibrate, but nothing comes on. Then, I keep pushing power button a few times. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes I am too impatient to wait, so I just hold power and volume up.
I also know that the phone internals come on, because after that vibration, I swipe up and push the screen a few times. Then, when I am fiddling with the power button and it does come on, I do see that there is an app already on the screen.
I think this is a rare issue, as I haven't even been able to find many posts regarding this. I may have to get a new one if this keeps going on so bad.

I am experiencing the exact same issue with my M8. I have seen a lot of people stating it may be a hardware fault related to heat and internals but something about how it reacts seems software related.
I really hope someone who has fixed or uncovered the reason comes forward. At this rate I may be switching back to a S4 LTE-A.

I think it IS hardware related. I was able to return that one and got another M8. No problems at all.
