After some negotiating with my girlfriend I decided I’d buy an Android phone, an HTC Desire from PDAShop.be, where I’ve bought my previous HTC Touch 3G.
As always, the delivery of the phone was quick and soon I unpacked the phone and started playing around with it. I improrted contacts from SIM to phone and linked them to Facebook and Twitter contacts. Piece of pie. I also installed some apps and games from the Android Market (no paid apps here in Belgium, yet) and fiddled around with them, as I also did with various settings in the HTC Sense UI.
After a few hours playing with the phone, I went outside with the phone in my back pocket of my jeans, and I heard the HTC startup again. I thought that somehow I managed to press the power button by accident. Nope, the phone restarted several times on different occasions.
When I went to sleep, the phone was on and the battery was almost charged to 60%. The next morning, 8 hours later, the device was turned off and when I charged it via USB on the PC, the battery was fully drained… 0%!
I then called HTC support, and the kind person on the other end of the line listened to my story and told me I needed a hard-reset of the device. From the mail he sent me:
With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button. 2. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button. 3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER. 4. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP

I tried that, but the phone just wouldn’t complete the hard-reset. So I called PDAShop and they told me that I could bring the phone in. I removed my SIM from Mobile Vikings and put it in my other phone and drove to them.
To my amazement the guy at the shop managed to hard-reset (without a SIM) the device, and stress-tested it with some rapid movements, changing styles in the UI, setting up a Live-wallpaper. The device didn’t freeze… So I drove back to home.
I put my SIM back in, and voila… the device started to hang on me again. I even tried the hard-reset with the SIM with no luck whatsoever. I contacted PDAShop again and the same person helped me further. He said I can send the phone back to them and they will replace it with a new one…
I really hope this isn’t becoming some part of long tragedy waiting to happen. I really want to enjoy this Android phone, as I am fed up with the current status of Windows Mobile on my brilliant HTC Touch 3G.
Hey
Sorry to heard your story, you must be very unlucky :/ . If it's of any comfort, my desire has a mobile vikings sim in it aswell and functions excellent, so it's probably a faulty model.
Sorry for you, it's probably a faulty device or a faulty ROM, either way, my phone and the ones of multiple other person works fine so keep hope!
I would advise you to recontact Coolbleu (aka pdashop) and tell them that you went there they did reset it and tested it but that it didn't fix the problem. I would be surprised if they wouldn't offer to give u a new one. (I bought several phones at coolbleu and I've always been happy with after sale support) BTW I'm also using Mobile Vikings (but on HTC Legend) and I don't have any problems with it at all.
@JonasDroid & @Cooki3s:
Good to know that, because the person at coolblue received some disturbing calls from people with MobileVikings SIM cards. How old are your SIM cards?
@All Thanks for the support, I really hope my next Desire will be somthing that I can actually enjoy
Will keep you posted.
Cheers!
I tried a hard reset again, but without a SIM and SD card inserted. This seemed to work.
I then did go through all the settings in the wizard and rebooted. Then I shut it down, inserted to SD again and I went into Settings > SD and Storage, unmounted the card, formatted it, and rebooted the phone. I stress-tested it for a while, and then I shut it down, inserted my SIM and it still works.
Could it be that some corrupt data on the card caused the instant reboots and faulty hard-resets?
I'm going to charge my phone and test it throughout the day to see if it still hangs/reboots on its own. Fingers crossed!
EDIT:
I spoke too soon... a few minutes later and the device was shut down when I tried to bring the screen back up. Now it reboots until it hangs itself... I don't hear the startup-sound either when it come to "Quitely Brilliant"
The phone will be sent back to pdashop!
Edit2:
I narrowed the problem down to a device-specific issue... It shuts down/freezes/reboots randomly even when no SIM and no SD card are in the device... I really hope the next device I'll receive doesn't have these issues
Have you got any apps installed on it? If so what? I had issues with some apps that changed the APN when the internet wasnt being used.
its a faulty device

Hello there my first post here on XDA
Just wanna talk about the update 4.0.2.A.0.62 on the Xperia Play. I downloaded the flashtool and do I flash the phone in flashmode or flashboot mode ?
And do I tick ' clear cache ' as well ?
Thanks !
Flash mode (hold search button while plugging in, power button lights up green). Cache shouldn't need to be wiped, but it couldn't hurt.
Thanks for that just finished with the update. But my Xperia Play froze and rebooted as well !
What's the problem with my Xperia Play even with the update 4.0.2.A.0.62 ?
I thought this update would fix the freezing and reboot issues.
I even had freezing and reboot issues with the previous version as well.
Hello again.
I am so frustrated with this phone ! I have the r800i and I was playing Dead space and was playing for only about 2 mins and then the phone froze and rebooted.
This happens all the time whenever i'm playing a game or it'll just freeze randomly when scrolling through the menu.
I have sent it to the Sony Ericsson Service Centre and i've sent it 2 times to them for repair.
The freezing and rebooting still happens.
I have updated to the latest firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 and was hoping that this update would fix my phone. Luckily it hasn't
Please someone help me it makes me so mad and sad at the same time
What can I do.....?????
Take it back to the shop and ask for a replacement as it sounds like a hardware issue.

Hi there.
Yes I have tried a class 10 SD card and still it's the same issue. It freezes and reboots.
i dont have the issue you are having, and they sound pretty bad; you should try to use the flashtool, reflash 4.0.2.A.0.62, wipe everything, dont restore any of your old apps, then just download 1 game and try, see if that cause a problem. also you can try a lower class card see if that resolves your issue. if none of that works, i would suggest get a replacement unit if thats still possible
Yeah it is bad cause the new update is not working on it as well.
I've sent my phone 3 times to the Sony Ericsson Service centre and they still haven't been able to fix it.
I just hope they give me a replacement.
I dont think so

Yeah it has to be a H/W issue cause what happens is that they fix the phone it turns on and everything but it's when I start using the phone like gaming running app and stuff like that's when it freezes and doesn't turn on.
It looks like to me that something inside my Xperia Play is causing it to freeze. Obviously a Hardware Issue.
When I open a app or play a game it freezes after about a minute so it looks like something inside might be causing the problem but the Service centre haven't replaced anything inside my Xperia play.
I was wondering if I could tell the Service Centre to open up the xperia play and see what's causing the phone to freeze?
Which part would it be ?
The thing is i've had to send it in 3 times now and they still haven't been able to fix my Xperia Play.
Freezes and reboots and sometimes doesn't turn on and that's only when I play games on it for more than a minute or so.
I've updated to the latest update 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Thanks !
So does anyone know what I can do ?
Am I the only the one on this forum that has a faulty Xperia Play?
I bought mine online from 02 about 2 months ago when it was £150 in white and that was the 16GB version.
I just got mine from Dial-A-Phone and seem to have a rebooting problem when plugging in the mains charger. The phone is only 3 weeks into the contract!!!! I will certainly be calling Dial-a-phone to get this sorted.

I have even used a class 10 SD card and still have the same problems.
Which brand do you use?
Do you think a class 4 will sort the problems out ?
Amittedly I have not updated to 4.0.2.A.0.62, so will try that first and report back. I have tried playing a few games and all seems ok. For me it is just when I plug mine in to the mains that it reboots and only sometimes at that. Very strange indeed.
Oh right.
I just can't believe this is happening.
What were Sony Ericsson thinking when they were making the Xperia devices ?
And I say Xperia cause this is a intermittent problem on all the Xperia models.
Well most of them anyway.
Basically my Lumia 900 will not connect to the Internet even though I have full bars of LTE. This is not the first time it happened. It happened a few days ago and I rebooted it a few times and it started working again. This time I have rebooted it over 20 times changed the sim and it is still not working. I went to the AT&T store and the employees said they sent back over 7 defective lumias with the same issue.
I took out the sim and put it in my new iPad and LTE was working fine. I hope this defective is not spread across so many more devices or there will be a lot of unhappy customers.
Hey there. This might sound a little basic but do a master reset, and one more master reset immediately after. I had that problem for maybe a week and its a weird problem with COU provisioning. Also send the COU team an email about the issue, they might do some stuff on the back end as well for you.you are an art employee, right? How else would you have this phone

Happened to me too. I just popped the sim card out while the phone was on. Put the card back in and then turned the phone off and then back on. Hopefully that fixes it for you. Did for me.
Nokia needs to put a soft reset button combination like the iPhone has since you can't do a battery pull. A soft reset is needed at some point in time on all smartphones. Not having a method to do it is a big error IMO.

Hold power button for a few seconds and swipe down to turn off/soft reset. Or go to settings app; under settings go to 'About' and push 'reset phone' for hard reset.
They are looking for a reboot option, not a full reset. Something similar to holding the home and power key on an iPhone.
This is the first WP with non removable battery so I haven't had to do it before. I'm sure there's a way. I know if you hold the volume down, camera and power when it's off it will restore the phone.
We've been getting serious issues too. I'm getting a new lumia tomorrow. Ive tried everything.

That's not a restore sequence. That will only place the phone in bootloader. If connected to a PC, and, a valid backup exists, a retire is possible. But that combination does not initiate a restore.
The only thing I've heard is extended holding of power key, ~10 seconds, initiates a reboot....not a reset or restore

If you hold the power key down for about 15 seconds, the device will power down. I had a freeze during the initial setup on my 900....that worked for me....
The Lumia 800 also has a non-removable battery. Here's how to do a hard and soft reset using hardware keys on that device. May work on the 900:

Those keys don't work on the 900.....Both combinations produce the same impact from a device that is power on...that is....off. The first action is the power slider....which can turn off the device. However, continue holding that combination will bring you to a OFF position. The same thing occurs with just holding the Power button for 10 seconds or so.
from an off position, I could not get those keys to react.
My data has been working great all day. Download a on of apps, browsed quite a bit to set up my bookmarks and downloaded music from Zune. My data speeds were around 25mbps all day.
Directly from the Nokia support site, reboot keystrokes.
http://www.nokia.com/us-en/support/...oting/?action=singleFAQ&caseid=FA132831_en_US
Hold power key, 8-12 seconds.
Out of the blue my Data started working fine. My rep stated thattheir Lumia 900's had problems provisioning correctly
Hello. I posted something in the ICS thread since I thought it was an ICS issue but... it seems the power button in my 4G Touch has suddenly stopped working. The phone rebooted randomly and then the key just won't register. It doesn't go to sleep, or turn back on or anything. Heck, I even did a factory reset (its a stock ICS) to see if that resolved the issue and no... No go. The button click so it doesn't feel like its broken or anything, though it has a good cover.
What could have happened? Is it ICS related or did it just... stop working? =/
i had the same problem with my og epic....the button was clicking but it wasnt working...took the phone to sprint and they replaced the phone...i guess it was from too much flashing...lol...after that i started using quickboot...

Power Button Not Working SGS4 Not Sleeping SOLVED
OMG I was at my wits end with this brand new phone. Power button worked fine but would NOT put the phone to sleep. Nor would the phone sleep on its own. Wakelock checkers revealed nothing. Then, by pure luck, I did something with the Android SDK which brought up the logs... and Lo! and Behold! I saw this:
Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished
Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished
Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished
Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished
Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished
Now putting aside the fact that it was "Finding out whether" not "Checking if," this told me what was up.
What had happened was that I had deleted the boot animation files and not replaced them. I THOUGHT I had replaced them, but I had not. Ergo the constant checking thereof.

SGS4? We talking the device or the ROM? You can also delete the boot animation from the /system/media folder and it will just use the stock Samsung boot animation buried in the ROM's code, my guess is you've got more going on than you think you do. You might want to take a look at this thread to see just what's up.

The device would not sleep or turn off the screen because the boot animation files were missing (which was my fault).
Hello guys,
I was in Crete last week and on the last day I had the dumb idea to take the device into the sea. (I knew it was water-proof but I didn't know that I should not put it into seawater)......
Note: I never kept it underwater for more than a minute and only below the water surface and not lower. All closures were closed.
After ~10 minutes in the sea it started to behave strange: Display went black and it showed no reaction to any Actions. I took it out of the sea immediately and cleaned it with freshwater. After 5 more minutes it started to vibrate for around a minute. This happened a few times when I tried to turn it on again. Finally I was able to turn it back on but after a short time it auto-shutdown for this reason: "Emergency shutdown. Phone is to hot." (something like that at least). Strange. It was not in the sun and did not feel hot. Whenever I tried to reboot it it turned of during the sony boot animation. After that I opened all closures and removed the SIM Card and the microSD Card. They both had small water drops on it :S I kept the closures open and shaked it really hard a few times to make sure theres no water inside the phone.
3 hours later without touching it a single time I reinserted the cards and was able to turn it back on but it shut down itself very soon for a new reason: "SIM Card has been removed. Rebooting.." Well.. I did not remove the SIM Card. After a reboot it shut down again for the first shutdown reason (to avoid overheating).
Info: During all that reboots etc I was able to enter cwm recovery all the time.
Another few hours later I decieded to restore a CWM backup I created a few days before. I turned it on afterwards and it still "crashed" during the blue Sony boot animation.
Another few hours later I was finally able to start it. Everything seemed to work ok. But then the haptic feedback issues started: Sometimes it started to vibrate for no reason, sometimes it did not vibrate when it should have and finally it's not vibrating anymore. Not even during boot.
I aready found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641694 where op described that it worked after shaking the phone. For me it's not working after shaking the phone.
Long text short question: Any chance to send the device back to amazon to get a new one? (I guess they can't detect that I put it into salty seawater?)
Edit: Forgot to mention that it had water fog inside the camera lens and the LED for a few hours...
Thanks for reading

if you are covered with warranty please do, it happened to me also (but this time i blame sony for lack of quality of service).. it happened when mine is still new i tried to wash it in the faucet then few hours later, haptic or vibrate doesn't work anymore, too bad i didn't have official warranty that's stupid on my part, but what do you know it supposed to be waterproof phone
Why didn't/don't you have official warranty? Country related?
It still doesn't work so I'm going to send it back. Ordered it on 31. January and had the Flash bleed bug also, if they accespt it and send me a new device this bug will be fixed also I guesss
Edit: Amazon wont take it, I have to contact Sony. Lets see what happens
Problem is covered by warranty!

Hello guys.
Today I woke up to some strange events happening to my phone.
I left my phone turned on while I slept, as usual. When I woke up, I noticed that the phone auto brightness wasn't working at all. It was stuck at the minimum brightness and it wouldn't change even if I pointed the phone at the sun. Rebooting the device did not fix the issue.
After a while I decided to pass some music from the computer to the phone with the cable. The cable kept disconnecting the phone, like it had a bad contact. I had a really hard time to put my music on the phone (lot's of phone and PC reboots).
Then, when I finally put the music in it, I plugged the headphones and tried to listen to music, only to be presented with lots of white noise mixed with the music. The white noise "changed" if I moved the cable thingy. Again, reboot didn't fix the problem. I plugged the headphones in my computer and they worked just fine.
I left the phone alone and went on my business. Some time passed and I noticed that the LED light had a permanent green light that would just not go away. I managed to fix this by rebooting in safe mode and booting back to normal mode. This seemed to fix it permanently since it did not happen again.
Now, I tried to use my GPS to play some Pokemon Go. While I was playing I noticed that I was not able to use the button that made the map point in my direction. I installed a Compass app and to my surprise, it said that I didn't have a sensor for it. My compass seems to be gone.
I went ahead and did a factory reset. It did not work. Every single of those issues keeps happening.
Then I tried to use the "refurbish" option on LG UP. I'm always getting "Error: Error Code = 0x2000, Can't decide current device mode
Any suggestions? My device is the European with stock firmware. My S/N begins with 604. I really didn't want to send my phone to repair, I know it will take ages. RIght now in my city it has been really hot (43ºC in the shadow), but there's really nothing I can do about the heat. This never happened with my Galaxy S4 Mini. Help?
That sounds crazy!
Any possible water damage?
Try going to the service menu and testing everything from there. This is done by dialing a code in the dialer app.
So for the international version it is *#546368#*815#
For the Dual sim version it is *#546368#*818#
I assume for the NA version it is *#546368#*811#

Hey, thanks for the reply. And I told you it's too damn hot here so the only water contact the phone might have was with my sweat.
As for the tests, the phone failed Barometer, something called TL wrong and the proximity test. The GPS itself was fine tho

In that menu, try going to Device Test and choose SAAT. Then tap on Service Menu Manual Test and then tap on Key and next tap on Test then Cal Start. This will help you recalibrate the proximity sensors. Use your phone after the recalibration to check if it works properly.

I guess it's time to send it for repair. At least my humidity thingy hasn't been triggered.
