Ok has that anyone had this issue with their Orbit?
I had noticed that the keyboard was not giving me any predicted text choices while typing, so I tried to change the input method to no avail. So I decided to perform a sft reset to sort the problem.
Oh was I not happy with the result as for over 5 mins all that was happening with my phone was the screen would light up o2 screen, green screen then enter pin and reset and it would do this again and again.
So even after removing the battery for a few minutes not change once I attempted to start the phone. I even reset the device via the button on the side and it made no difference.
I was just getting ready to bite the bullet and sound off the o2 when I remembered reading on here of something similar happening so I searched and found a posting saying to try and press soft reset just after phone started. And guess what it worked after that so what I want to know is why or what I did to get my phone working again?
Any ideas guys, only thing I can add was the phone was plugged in to my workstation USB so was charging when the initial soft reset was performed while using Valksoft's space reclaimer reset option.
Thanks

Ok an update the phone is now doing this everytime it is turned off. And since the last time it occurred I have been unable to get the phone to work.
Any ideas, I believe it could be a registry issue with the phone as I had recently installed a couple of programs that worked fine for a couple of days then while installing a dictionary several programs were uninstalled in error.
So after installing again this problem has arisen. It is possible that this was not th cause as I hae noticed tat the last scheduled back up was on the 22/01/07 so Monday's was not carried out possibly due to this?
my orbit has also this bug. after a soft reset he is booting up till the pin entry and then a boots again and again. Up to 5 times
Yes, my Orbit sometimes needs to reboot 4 times before it will sucessfully bring up the Home Screen. Anyone got any ideas on why???!!!??
I had enough of it doing this so I have done a hard reset and the problem has gone now just need to set everything back as I want it as backup still had the initial issue once it was retored.
I guess it was to do with the registry but not sure what exactly, maybe redundant reg keys etc?
I've experienced same problem on my dutch t-mobile mda compact III.
Happend after installing different programs, but i can't find the exact cause.
when i remove the microsd (on which i installed the programme's) the device starts en doesn't softreset when phone screen shows.
At first i thought it had to do with programs that tried to connect to gprs before even entering the pincode of the phone. But even without pincode it keeps restarting.
Happend on my 1gb microSD once en also on my 2 gb microSD.
Hope that someone knows what the cause is, so i can prevend it from happening.
Resets caused by the Memory Card Fault
Look at the posts regarding the memory card corruption if you back-up the card format it and then put it back everything is fine for a while. Not puttting a My Documents folder on the storage card usually helps with this issue...
rebooting.
hi,
as you well understand there are only 2 possibilities: software and hardware failure.
Surely, you don't want to think about hardware failure, because in this case the solution is to send it back to seller or to service center. Except for the cases caused by battery and sd card. These are 2 elements you can replace on your own easy.
However, "instability" of the device normally caused by installed software.
The first thing you do, like it or not, if you have a problem, hard reset your device.
BACKUP your DATA before hard reset!
You can try to to remove software piece by piece, but could be time consuming thing and not necessarily lead you to a good result.
Radical approach is to return device to "factory state" - hard reset.
If after hard reset you still have a problem with your device like accidentally rebooting, address to service center or ask seller to to replace the good.
regards,
rebooting.
double post.
I had the issue once... card corrupted. Had a back up so formatted the card, put data back in, issue gone.
This has happened to my orbit a couple of times. But I think if I reset by pressing the reset button on the side of the machine it only resets once. Resetting after installing apps for example from the prompt is bad, do it later by pressing the actual button. This seems to work for me but only time will tell.
my htc p3300 has reset problm
my htc p3300 restarts automatically while im calling or using net it starts autuomatically it goes till green screen where it shows wm 6.1 then restarts again n again i dnt know plz tell me is it software or hardware problm
Since I've had my Artemis occasionally after a soft reset the SD card appears as not installed. I would have to remove the battery and sim etc, replace the SD card into the holder and start-up the phone and it'd usually be ok. The only trouble is lately it seems to be doing this more frequently and it is becoming more difficult to get the phone to recognise the card upon start-up again. Anyone else experience this? Have an cure?
i've had the same problem on my magican. The solution i found was to remove the SD card and place it back. It seems to me that cardreader's contacts broken.
Its big but you must read first.

So the card is corrupt? Because when I stick it into my pc it reads it perfectly fine, no problems or slowness.
My phone has stopped recognising the card completely now, but when I started the phone in safe mode using iLauncher it recognised it surprisingly. I'm suspecting there may be a piece of software or a setting stopping the phone from recognising it. I'll have a read through that link some more tho just in case there is a solution.
If anyone else has another solution then it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Update: I've tried another 2 known working SD cards and neither of which are recognised by my device to it looks as tho its an issue with the phone and not the card. Has anyone experienced this before?
I've the same problem. I use 2 SanDisk cards, 512Mb and 2Gb, both of them seem to disappear as I boot the device. It hapens 50% of times and begins when I installed the HTC ArtemisSDEnhancement program.
I've tried to uninstall and reinstall several times and to format the crad but the errors continues at the 50% times.
When the P3300 reads the card I notice an abnormal slow response to any input and at the end it hungs for a big while. If you leave it alone it comes back but I usually need the phone now and I must have to soft reset.
I'm about to hard reset and try again but I don't have time.
Well I hard reset my device before I was going to post it back to o2 for a replacement and surprise surprise its working fine again!
That was 23 days ago and since then its behaved perfectly. I've installed the SD enchancement just in case but not certain if that's made any difference. Finger crossed its the last time the card starts disappearing.
This happens on my MDA C3 too now and again.
When it does, a soft reset does not solve it.
I have to take the battery out and then reinsert it.
After powering up the problemis not there.
Anyone know why this is happening as its really inconvenient to keep taking the battery out.
Thanks in advance.
BTW, one thing I have noticed, it seems to happen more often after a registry value change if that help anyone???
Turned off the phone last night, returned to it this morning (6+ hours) with "Power off - shutting down" on the screen. I ended up pulling the battery and booting from cold.
The phone turned back on with no problems, but 45 minutes after turning it off again - it is displaying the same screen and not shutting down. Pulling the battery, turning on and then turning off the phone immediately has the same problem.
Tasks running before the shut down are normal, I have almost no 3rd party apps installed yet.
Ideas anyone?
Sounds like a similar problem that I and a number of others seem to be having. The bad news is that there doesn't seem to be a simple fix at the moment, but the good news is that with it happening to increasing numbers of us, hopefully it will be remediable in a future update.

Hi there,
What main post are you referring to for this issue?
If you could please direct me, thanks.
I'm having the same problem, last week I was turning the phone off and it would turn off in half hour or so.
This morning, I turned the phone off, and it has been "Shutting down" for about 3 hours now...
extremely frustrating!!!
Try to install "aLogCat" application. This app could show Android log files.
And see if you can spot something there ...
I also have this issue. I took out the battery.
The thing is ... after turned on ... you can turn off without any problem.
unmount sd card before shutting down.
Will change it from never to shutting down to shutting down in <10 seconds

Had the same issue when I first got my desire from T-Mobile. SD Card later failed on me, and after getting a replacement from T-Mobile, the phone works perfectly and shuts down instantly. So my guess is that your problem is the SD card. You could try walking to the retailer and try to get a replacement SD card. When mine failed T-Mobile even gave me a 8gb one instead of the orignal 4gb
Im 99% sure its an app/widget causing the prob. I had the same, but its gone when I uninstalled most of my apps. Not sure which app caused the prob though...
I had that problem. After a hard reset it is not present any more. So i guess that some app caused it. Couldnt tell wich one.

It might be harder to diagnose than uninstalling/killing something and trying again, as it might be due to memory leaks, services, other tasks. I've read that it might be related to the backup to sd card which happens from time to time, so unless you're in the middle of a backup then you'd not have a problem (assuming there is a connection). You can only tell over time.
HTC Desire won't power off
I had the exact same problem. I only had 2 widgets active: 1 was the Handcent SMS widget the other was a Battery widget from mippin.com. I changed the Handcent widget to the program shortcut but did not uninstall and uninstalled the Battery widget. Now it powers off with no problem
i have the same issue with my desire.. i have a 8gb sd card in there.. which is nearly full.. maybe thats an issue?

Menu > Settings > SD and Phone Storage > Unmount SD Card
thanks for that.. is there any downside to doing a hard reset? is that setting - privacy - factory data reset?

Once I tried to unmount sd card and then it wasn't possible at all to shut down the phone. I had to remove battery
hey buddy, try to remove quick links like back light and soft reset, it works also try with flash light same...worked with me..good luck. or try toms power off zip.
DESIRE doesnt turn off
It sucks..all night long, this morning i found out it was still in the process of shutting down..turning off the cell phone should be a priority program,all others tasks must shut down..i think HTC should make an update since a lot of users experience same problem.
It used to hang at shutting down with me too. But, and I have no idea what changed, it now shuts down just fine. Weird stuff!
I shut mine down last night. It used to take about 60seconds to shut down but last night it just said "shutting down" for hours. I left it to see what happened. 11hours later it still said "shutting down". I picked it up and was going to open it up and remove battery. I obviously didn't want to do that to get dust and crap into the back of phone. As soon as I turned it over to remove back the screen went white! HTC. And it started up. ? ? ? coincidence or did me moving it around cause the restart after 11hours?
Anyway, I can tell it now has 237mb free (using advanced task killer to check memory available). It never normally has more than 150mb free. Maybe there is a memory leak somewhere in Sense UI? It seems the longer you have used thephone without a restart, the more likley it will hang during shutdown.
I hope HTC are aware of this issue. I logged a support call too, as I'm sure many of you did.
anyway, shake the phone around a bit before you remove the back to see if that helps. It did for me after 11 hours of being stuck on "shutting down!" screen.
Oh by the way, I had unmounted the card befre the shut down in the hopes it would be quicker than 60seconds. It made no difference!
i had this issue also.. a factory reset fixed it.. i think it was an app i installed did the damage.. some mentioned unmounting the sd card first but i tried that and it made no difference..
Hi, hope someone can help...
My Desire wont shut down - it goes to the shutting down screen then when I wake up the next morning, I unlock the phone and it's still on this screen. I know someone else had this issue but can't find the thread on here...
If anyone can help or bump the other thread that'd be great
thanks
I had a similar problem shutting down recently. It took about 10 minutes for the device to finally shut down.
Anyway, I tried reseating the battery and all is fine now...
See if that works for you!
reseating - does that mean take it out and put it back in again?

Yes.
In fact, I remember I was so angry waiting for it to shut down, that I just pulled the battery while it was shutting down. Then I put it back in. Didn't have problems since...
hmmm - tried that and it seemed to work - but 5 mins later tried to shut down and it's still stuck on the shutdown screen.... any ideas?
cheers
Suggest you try a hard reset. If you still have problems, then consider claiming your warranty...
I went from it working perfectly to then taking ages to shut down and now it just plain refuses to shut down. This happens even after I've done a hard reset. My thinking has now changed from 'rogue app' to 'dodgy micro SD card because the problems only happened after I swopped my 4gb supplied card for an 8gb Class 4 PNY card from Play.
Other than that I'm head scratching
I had this problem, i found that killing all open apps with Advanced Task Killer before turning off solved it
Something you could try is unmounting the SD Card (apps->settings->SD & phone storage->unmount SD card) before shutting the phone down. That fixed the problem for me from not shutting down after 10 minutes to a nearly instant shutdown.
My Galaxy S3 hardly ever (if at all) displays a "Application not responding" message. Instead when an app is not responding, the phone freezes up for a few minutes (3-4 mins?) and then reboots. Sometimes it just goes into what seems like a permanent boot loop. That happen very infrequently though.
It's not any specific app. It happens with any app I have running that doesn't respond. I'm running stock+rooted 4.2.1. I have seen a few other reports of this happening, but no solution. There is some thought that this could be related to some IO problem. Maybe freezing while attempting to write to the SD Card or internal storage. I have s 32GB Class 10 SD Card. And I tried removing it. It happens even without the SD Card.
It's quite infrequent, but all the more annoying since I can't nail it down to any specific action on my part. Once it happened while I was on a call. The phone rebooted and then continued on the call! Of course I had missed the intervening 2-3 minutes while it finished rebooting.
Any solution I may have missed? I really don't want to factory reset my phone. It's not that annoying.

Try to uninstall 1 app and then reinstall it again see if that helps
