random crashes - P3300, MDA Compact III General

my htc p3300 started to give me random crashes, hanging spontaniously without any reproducable scenario.
Sometimes it happens when the device is in power-saving mode, sometimes during connection to PC while being charged, once it gave me during the phone conversation.
The About shows:
CE OS 5.2.1238 (build 17745.0.2.3)
I can't remember which ROM it was exactly, but I downloaded it from these boards. I hate using original French versions hence I started to look for English one. Oh, and when phone boots it gives T-Mobile boot screen.
Anyways, I did a hardware reset, and it was running without a single crash for a whole day. Till this moment. It crashed again, software reset didn't work, had to do it hard way.
I contacted the vendor, and they are OK to send it for repairs, but it's gonna take around 3 weeks, plus I am not sure that they will be able to reproduce the problem, and what I am also not sure in, is that they may simply reflash the ROM with standard French version and be done with it.
So I am trying to get some help and opinions while downloading Mesche's vanilla v2 ROM to give it a final try.
Any ideas and comments are welcome
d3sp

no ideas, anyone?
I flashed with vanilla custom rom, and I only got 1-2 crashes so far..
Also when it crashes, sometimes the screen goes gray or dirty white-ish
and I can see vertical stripes on it..

I have exactly the same problem. I think the problem has to-do with cpu temprature. When its a hot day, I get it all the time. I think I am going to open it up, and check if the problem is with dirt inside.

sounds like a over heating problem, the screen usually goes dodgy if it gets too hot (same with most LCD screen products).
Do u have a program to show the temperature? (i use BatteryStatus, so get the temp from there).

thats really strange, i doubt it's a temperature that makes him sick
for example, it went dead last night, it was not hot inside my house, but the phone still went dead, so I had to hard reset it
I am facing the three weeks of horror without my artemis (( since I am out of ideas and going to send it to repair to manufacturer

Seriously.
It may be some software you have running on it. What all to you have? And, are you running the original ROM or a cooked ROM? You may have to warranty it if everything is stock.

Well, i just reinstalled fresh new vanilla something ROM that I took on these very boards.
The original ROM is in French, so that's not an option for me.
And yeh, my artemis is still in warranty, so I'm going to exercise that option, I'm afraid

Warranty time!... Unless you are good in taking the phone apart and fixing the loose wire connection, I would recommend returning the phone if still under Warranty. If out of warranty, then you have to pay to get it repaired. The warranty is for 12 months from first day of service. If you are not sure whether phone has warranty left or not, call the AT&T Phone Repair at 1-800-801-1101, and give them the IMEA number printed on the back of the phone under the battery. AT&T will then tell you if your phone is still covered or not.
Good luck..
I was afraid of that...
Thanks for your help!
A friend of mine had this happen to her JasJam. I pulled it apart as per the video instructions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsljpn74SW0) and checked all the connections were good and tight. Also, if you search these forums you will find a thread on this subject where a couple of other chips in the phone are mentioned. I made sure these were not loose, and reassembled the phone. It fixed the problem....so far. Good luck!
Get in the bootloader and check it for bad blocks (info 8). If there are some you can attempt to fix them (task 2a) provided you have Hard-SPL installed.
Not a guaranteed fix, but something to check before sending it in.
Had this problem, reflashed phone back to 'offical' tmobile rom, and sent off for repair.
Had a 24 month warrenty, so came back.
Diagnosis was 'main board failure'.
Said it had been repaired, however a brand new one was delivered

If you decide to send off your 8525 for exchange make sure you flash back to OEM ( AT&T) rom. If you leave any cooked rom on they might not honor the warranty work. If you are experiencing white screen at all times, place the unit in a zip-lock plastic bag and leave in freezer for 5 minutes. then turn on and flash with AT&T Rom.

Runaway CPU process and/or battery overheating for an unknown reason?

A few things:
- running kavanna's WM6.1 080408 ROM
- the phone is pretty much idle (I'm not actively using it when this happens)
- I am *not* overclocked (stock cpu clock)
- the phone/battery is probably 2-3 months old
- no strange processes other than the stock ones that come with the ROM that run on startup
- I carry my phone in my pocket, so it typically happens when I am carrying it like that.
Every once and a while, my phone suddenly gets very warm (on the battery side). At that point, it typically becomes un-responsive/freezes and I have to take the battery out to reset it. During this time, while the battery/phone case is hot, I can drop 20-30% battery charge in a manner of minutes.
Since I have to do a hard reset typically, I can't tell what process is stuck (if there is one) and/or what else might be happening behind the scenes. I take the battery out, reset it, power back up and all is fine.
This doesn't happen often, but it happens enough to where I would like to see if anyone else has this strange gremlin pop up every once and a while.

Yeah, I did a search but I couldn't find any definite answer given that my battery/phone were basically brand new.
Hopefully the solution is that simple. What's odd is that when this doesn't happen, my battery holds a good charge for days. Go figure. I wonder if I can convince T-Mobile to send me a new battery...

i had only had my phone for about 2 months when this started happening. Since i did not know what the issue was, i naturally called them to troubleshoot, they ended up sending me a battery as a replacement, no charge.

Yeah, looks like I am going to have to BS a little being that I have a cooked 6.1 ROM on it. I doubt that they will support that given that they only have 6.0 out right now (officially that is, yes?).

You shouldn't have to get them to "send" you one. Just go to your nearest T-Mobile Store and tell them that you've been having trouble with your battery overheating. After enough banter, they should be willing to give you a new one free of charge. I got a new one out of them last year with hardly any effort.

how are they going to know which ROm you are using? just tell them that the phone locks up and when it does, you feel the phone getting very warm, also tell them that you've already done a hard reset and let the phone set after the hard reset without any 3rd party software and it still locks up

Just called and here is the status:
- The battery is only warrantied by T-Mobile for 3 months (I've had the phone for 3.5 months, so they cannot warranty it). However...
- The battery is warrantied by HTC for 1 year, so I have their number.
- T-Mobile is sending me a new phone in case this is a hardware issue (does not come with a new battery, however).
So, I'll try the new phone with the original battery. At least I will get a new phone with no scratches on the screen (can put my screen protector on). If the problem still persists, I'll then contact HTC (have their support #) and have them replace my battery.
So, all should be well 'cept for the fact that I have to reload my ROM again along with all of the settings. Oh well...

make sure that you re-install the original t-mobile ROM on the phone you're sending back. otherwise they may end up billing you later on, for "non warranty" part

Compact IV Frozen on T-Mobile Splash Screen - HELP

Anyone able to assist. I have searched the forum.
After my compact froze I did a soft reset only to see it hang on the T-Mobile splash screen (white background, pink dots). The ROM details do not even appear in the bottom right hand corner.
I have upgraded my ROM with Hard-SPL, a Radio ROM and Dutty's 1.8 ROM but that was weeks ago.
Not even a Hard-Reset sorts it out.
Cannot see how the new ROM would be causing the problem as it has worked for a few weeks.
Luckily followed all the instructions and have 1.40 Olinex Hard-SPL on the phone. Just need to wait for home so I can plug it into my laptop. What I do from that point on will be the subject of a further search of this board later.
Any assistance?
Since you already have Hard-SPL, try first flashing a stock ROM.
See here for available ROM's: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Upgrades
Let us know what the results are...
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I cannot get my Compact to sync with my PC in order to add a stock ROM. As I am frozen on the T-Mobile screen the Mobile Device Center does not connect to the Compacy.
Are there any work arounds?
Oh well back it goes to T-Mobile with the hope that they do not identify that the ROM has changed.
Happened to me before as well.
Start your Phone in bootloader mode. Means you hold down the Volume down button while soft resetting. Then you get to the red, green, blue, white screen. In the bottom it says "serial". once you connect to the PC it switches to "usb" and now you can flash ANY ROM you like. I replaced mine with the same ROM I had before....
Don't know what happened to cause this problem. But I got it solved that way.
Let me know if this worked....
Cheers for the reply Staty.
I was able to get the USB connection to work but after reloading the ROM the phone has gone off and stayed off. Can't get any splash screen now.
But you were able to completely reflash the ROM?
Or did it stop along the way?
Did not stop along the way. Went to 100% and was met by the finished screen on the PC. However the Compact does not turn in now.
So you try to turn it on but nothing happens?
Did you try hooking the phone to the loading cable and then turn it on? Maybe a problem with the bettery?
Besides that I got no idea right now.
Which ROM did you reflash? The same you used before?
Hi,
You must download full rom (with radio etc.), the best original. Doesn't matter which one. And hard reset after that.

Tried hooking it up to the loading cable, the charger and still no luck.
Have no idea why it will not start-up. Do not even get the white circular light when plugged into the charger.

Yep done all that. Compact still dead. Changed ROM about 3 weeks ago, no problems just stopped working altogether. Was able to connect it to the PC to update ROM again but now nothing.
Not sure how having Hard-SPL on the phone is gonna help when the thing wont turn on.

Here wot fella.... Yesterday i called t-mobile cause my mda was running kinda hot for some reason, With no effort the lady said it shouldn't be getting that hot (like she could feel the heat over the phone lol) "i'm going to send you a replacement for tomorrow morning" Today, So me thinking a refurbished phone and no screen protector, i asked if they could send me a screen protector, No she said, i'm sending you a brand new phone "in the box" so all the bits will be there.......
Brilliant i get a new mobile..... Here is the best bit....
UPS turns up this morning with a brand new phone.. the guy asks me for the old phone ONLY, didn't take back old batt, headset...etc put it in a bag and away he went......
So i get a brand new phone (BOXED) and get to keep all the old accessories.
So the moral of the story is..... RMA your mobile, tell t-mobile its over heating and pray too god you get the same woman on the phone that i did...!
P.s..... Out of curiosity, Which cooked rom was you using...!

Thats really wiered. Looks like there is more broken than the ROM. Did you try taking out the battery and keeping it out for a little time.
Try to turn on the phone without the battery in it - so all the power in the condensers etc. will be gone.
Keep the battery separated from the phone for a couple hours and then try it again.
I was having the trouble back then, that the more often I tried to turn the phone on while it was broken it turned off itself even quicker. after I left it without touching it an hour it took longer to turn off itself again.
P.P.S and remember so say its the bottom part off the phone or they may try palm you off with its "the battery"...!

Called them and put on my nicest charm with a young lady. She actually read out a T-Mobile notice release that said there was a known fault with the phones over-heating during charge and large downloads. It said that customers should be told that it is safe and a software update coming out soon would sort it out.
I told here the phone no longer worked and she said that they would replace but I should keep all accesories and the battery. I said that as it doesn't turn on it could be the battery and she agreed to a FULL replacement.
They are sending it to my work on Monday and will take the old one away.
Thanks for the advice, was really worried they would want it back for testing BEFORE sending out a new one and they may find my Custom ROM
All good though. Thanks again.

I am pretty certain it'saphone fault now and absolutely nothing to do with ROM's. T-Mobile are now thankfully taking it back.

HELP! My phone gets hot and restarts! Please look for more info inside!

Hello dear friends!
HTC let me down Kind of stupid phones indeed at least desire...
I have my phone for quite a time now, it is rooted with unrewoked, clockwork recovery and s-on. I flashed many different roms in the past and everything was brilliant. In a pas half-a-year or so I stayed with only one ROM - MIUI-Au. I kept updating it to the newer versions and so on and on. Never had any random reboot or something. At least maybe it was because of some strange app or something else. But now it started to reboot randomly and constantly!
Phone gets hot abit and it just reboots, and never comes to android homescreen again, until I put out the battery, hold it for few minutes, pop it back and then it boots. But as soon as start to play music, or run a game the phone gets hot abit and reboots again. and so on and on. I thought maybe it was a miui issue. So I tried to flash different roms, but guess what? None of the even boot! The main screen shows and with the same second it bootloops again and forever!... (
Even from recovery it sometimes reboots randomly. So i managed somehow to flash my miui back and it at least boots. But it is very unstable now, I barely can use my phone now
PLEASE WHO CAN HELP ME????
My warranty probably out of date, and my phone is rooted, I dont think HTC would accept it...
any thoughts? friends?
What have you set the CPU max to?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Thank you for response! Appreciate, really!! I didn't set it, I left everything by default I think! Because as i said, i even tried flashing different roms, not only miui.
What else could be? By the way, with stock froyo rom If I remember correctly, sometimes it became extremely hot, but I didnt get any reboots from that. But now, it gets just a little bit hot and it seems that this causes the reboot...
Now what I just noticed, I get reboots even when the phone is idle. And it is not even warm!
If its not getting hot then I'm confused lol. It sounds like a actual hardware fault. Sorry I can't help with this one

try and get it taken back to stock if you dare.
The phone hasn't been out 2 years yet, which is how long the warranty is.
Thank you! But is there any possibility to fix it without HTC involvement? Maybe it is not hardware issue ? Can it be because phone is rooted and I flashed many roms to it ? I didnt try AOSP roms since reboots started, I will try to pop in Cyanogenmod or other and see if I will get reboots.
Would rerooting my phone and updating my recovery fix the problem?
and Note: yesterday I tried to S-OFF my phone, but I can't even do that with my unstable MIUI. It rebooted in the middle of the process..
I had a similar problem, apparently it's not uncommon on the early revisions. I sent mine to HTC and they replaced the mainboard.
Thank you for answer! But what if my phone is bought through a contractor?
Can just call HTC and ask the for repair? Or should I contact my contractor first ?
Just give them a call and they will try to help you out. I had a very good customer service experience with them when my desire had some issues.
They will require a proof of purchase though. If you managed to get the receipt from your "contractor" (I am unsure what you mean by a contractor), then there should be no problem.
Sorry for misleading word, I meant T-Mobile. I bought my phone under contract. I think I have a receipt. I even have whole box and stuff of the phone somewhere in my drawer.(just sayin ). So how is customer service of HTC? Poor, good ? I heard you need to tell them that you did a factory reset and that didn't help. Is that true. Also if I will unroot my phone, will they know it was rooted anyhow?
Ahhh....this overheating issue seems common. How they can release faulty phones?? No clue.
thanks for answers mates!
In Singapore, HTC service is really good. Phone was still under warranty.
It took me just one (real) call to confirm a repair order. The first call I was just checking to see what options were available to me.
The second call was an actual repair request. And the third call was me pestering them for a pickup date. heehee
In Singapore, repairs were done via courier. They picked it up and 1 working day later, they sent it back.
Naturally, you will probably need to impress upon them that you tried everything to fix your phone (which I hope you did which includes proving to yourself that it's not the ROMs fault).
You will definitely need to reset everything back to zero. In my case, I downloaded an RUU to totally reset everything back to STOCK, which included removing clockworkmod recovery. You WILL need to create a goldcard for this though so bear in mind that it's not exactly a case of a simple flashing procedure. At least not if you don't already have a goldcard.
Sorry if I overread it at some point, but you speculated at the beginning there could be some faulty app causing this, but you never meantioned performing a full wipe. Have you full wiped yet? Just to make sure it is indeed no software problem.
greets
Thank you for your answers. At the moment I have SuperNova classic ROM. ( 2.3.3 + Sense 2.1) But my phone crashes again and again, it is so annoying and causes me so much trouble.
I never tried a reset or unroot and return to original rom. Im just wondering now, would this help to remove or at least remove those reboots?
Today I was in my work and i was keeping my phone in my jeans pocket. it got hot as u would expect when keeping in pocket and suddenly it rebooten, then it went into a bootloop and started to bootloop 7 times in a row quickly. then again and again. It became very hot at that time.
For the interest, what exact hardware faults causes these reboots and why phone gets even hotter if you keep it on boot loop. If I keep phone cold, the rom usualy stays normal, without reboots. but as soon as I start using my phone, texting or calling for at least 5minutes of using it just reboots.
as I said- really annoying thing :S
I remember my happy times with miui, apps and no reboots Was fun!
cheers for helping!
I would give full wipe / factory reset a chance, and maybe RUU.
At least try it before sending phone to htc.
It is hardware problem, search forum. Fresh ROM without SD card, enabled WIFI and GPS, running G navigation, back of the phone is warm - restart after few minutes.
Maybe someone know how to read info form the phone right before reset? We could understand why the phone is reseting and hopefully add some patch.
Reboot-loop experience
Hey,
i had the same problem over the last few months: In the beginning my phone restarted only when it got hot, but it got worse over the last few weeks, in the end i was not able to use two apps at the same time (music and mytracks) or even to surf the internet longer than a few minutes. The problem did noticeably decrease when the phone was cool - tested by putting it on a fan or in the fridge. Yet, Skype was regularly killing it. As i really love my phone (and especially the AMOLED-Screen!) i did not want to resign. The battery cover contains some metal which is supposed to enhance heat dissipation - so i attached a little thermal pad to the hotter bottom of the phone to improve contact with the head spreader. Unfortunately it did not entirely fix the problem. Yes, it improved the situation a little, but it got even worse after a week or two - in the end i had to turn it in.
So i decided to take it to the Telekom-Shop. They were very kind and told me they would call the other day to confirm that the replacement would have been shipped. It took a few days longer, but i got a phone with the AMOLED-Screen! The employee said it was a used mainboard in a new case, completely refurbished. They only replaced the main unit, i kept the battery, sd-card, charger and so on. Now i have a working Desire again!

Faulty battery that wasn't faulty for 8 months?

Okay I recently wrote a thread about the random restrarts on my g3 that happened 10 times a day, but the things have gone too far. As i was having random restarts when I monstly use the camera but not only for about 5 days and some of those restarts were also shutdowns now the problem is more serious. Today i was intending to take a picture of something and as usual the phone restarted but STUCK on the startup boot "picture" that says that lifes good and then goes black screen and startup picture and black screen and so on. I wasn't able to use the phone. I pulled out the battery and tried again but it didn't worked. So as I went home i plugged the phone ot the charger and when i powered it on it started normally and tried to take pictures and there weren't any problems. So I think that this is the battery that is making this **** to happen. I highly doubt that this is software problem but from my quick examination i think that the problem is from the battery . What do You think. Tommorow i will go to my carrier and "ll try to explain them about this. But they are usually jerks who don't know anything about phones. They only know how to get your money.Anyways. Yes.

Are you rooted? Did you flash anything? Did you edit any system files? Looks exactly like when I bricked my phone. There is a fix. Check out this thread and the links in it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lg-g3-unbricking-steps-clarification-t3119844
Also can you access download mode or recovery. You might want to try them first.
No I havent rooted it or made any system modifications. This problem occurs only when my phone isnt charging. When iits charging even at 100% there isnt any problem
I've gone to my stupid carriers office and explained everything but they do not want to give me a new battery unless they bring the phone to the other end of the country for repair. This is extremely stupid. Now I can't use my phone because its totally "bricked". I xan only use it with my original dc charger if i unplug it the phone shuts off. Yesterday Ive decided to make a factory reset, but i wanted to copy my internal storage to my pc, but the phone won't turn on when its plugged to the pc. I don't know what the **** is happening with this 500 piece of pancake.
well i have finally decided to do a factory reset but after the anticipation and thinking it is a software problem it isn't apparently. Maybe i will just send it to repair and hope that i wait less than 20 days for it to come back. And i hope that they don't figure out the problem and send a new phone but i think it is the battery that is the problem. Anyways the modern technologys are the most incredible thing and the most getting you pissed of one. You pay 500 dollars+ and expect something good and there you go .
So did you do factory reset or not?
Btw, getting phone to repair center is a good decision, they'll see what's wrong.
I have been happy with my G3, only "minor" thing I don't like is the horrible backspeaker (coming from HTC One m7)
