I had something similar happen after the OTA 1.47 update, somehow my notification sound for facebook got changed to some random song off my mem card. I just found the settings for it, changed it back and it never happened again.

youtube constantly failing to play.

when froyo ota was first released I installed it and everything was fine but I kept having problems with youtube. some videos would play but most would say sorry this video cannot be played. I did a factory reset and still got the same problem. the only change i have done is the move any apps2sd mid. could this be the cause. as anyone else experienced this?
Same thing here. I don't think it's anything you have done, the app just sucks. I had a HTC Hero with 1.5 with this problem. Then, upgraded to 2.1 and the problem was gone. Now, with HTC Desire I'm having the same problem again with 2.2. The videos usually start playing if you keep hitting 'play' for a few times, but they might also stop while playing.. Very annoying.
I wonder how widespread this problem is?
Looks like almost everybody with 2.2 have this problem (including me)
yeah me too
Same here...

has anyone tried using a 2.1 youtube.apk on a 2.2 rom?
Try turning off HQ. Anything I wanted to watch on youtube kept throwing up the same error but once I turned off HQ it worked fine for me.
At least its not just me then. Disabling high quality is no good to me. It helps to play the video but it looks and sounds a lot worse.
I hope they fix this somehow.
Yup, HQ disabled fixes this, but its not very usable solution...

I would try if you tell me where to get it.
I have the same problem and after observing it it seems it tends to happen when the data connection is not so good.sometimes my wifi drops and I can see when it happens looking at the lights on the modem.when I am on gprs videos don't play generally when the signal bars go down.

My connection is perfect. But it still happens so I'm certain its the app.
I dont think that its because of the connection too. In my case it always happens at the near end of a video that it stops playing and an error appears.
Is it just me or have this new radio rom 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2 fixed this playback problem? Just flashed it in my LeeDrOiD 2.0a and tested few videos. Not a single fail/errors yet after 10+ randomly selected videos. Can someone test this too?

If I where u I'd wait a few days and let us know how it is. Because when I factory reset my froyo it works fine for a few hours then the problem starts again.

I was already running this rom with 2 older radios, and both had this issue. I'm not saying this new radio fixes it, but I really hope so.
Anyways, I continue testing and will report if there's errors or not.

I flashed the new radio but i still got the problem. Im using the official froyo rom.

HELP!!! Restarts after 10 seconds

I've had my evo rooted since i got a replacement back in oct 2010, never had a problem flashing roms, and trying different ones, i was running MikG 1.0 - 2.2 rom without a problem, the other day my phone fell on the carpeted floor, battery came out and everything, so i put it back in and powered on the phone, but i noticed, it just kept restarting after 10 seconds it was all booted up on the lockscreen, i can go into the phone and everything but it keeps restarting exactly after about 10 seconds.
Tried different roms but keep getting the same problem. Unrooted phone, and it was working fine, got it rooted, and kept doing the same thing, so i thought it had something to do with the kernel, so installed a different kernel from savaged-zen, but didnt get further the htc evo screen, so installed stock kernel, and then it was working fine running MikG 2.2. Decided to restart the phone, and then again the problem came back, doing the same ****, so this time i installed a stock rooted rom, and so far its been working fine. It seems my phone doesnt like any other roms but stock ones anymore.
Can someone please tell me wtf is going on? Thanks in advance.
Wow, thnx for all the support, you guys are great!!! (sarcastic)
What recovery are using? What mainly does it happen with? So at least the phone boots into a rom?
Also take a look at the SD card it could be loose. That happened to me on my hero it fell and kept getting boot loops the finally took SD card out and put it back in properly.

Im using latest amon ra, it boots up into the rom but prolly about after 10 seconds it restarts, i could go further into the phone if im fast enough, it doesnt do it when i go into recovery or try a stock rom.
Im gonna check on the sd card, when i get home, thx!!!

huh? why would he want that if he's rooted?
Because the hboot is used for newer installs and if its not right everything will not work correctly.

Does this happen to you ?

Lately I've been really annoyed with phone, for some reason it just randomly reboots for God knows what reasons! Is this common or even a known issue ?
Are you running stock or a custom rom and kernel? I've never had a reboot with stock or on Starburst with lostkernel.

I dunno man, if that isn't happening without some 'aftermarket modifications', umm, I'd swap the damn phone. That isn't normal. I never get reboots unless I am overclocking on perf gov with everything maxed out...and that's pretty much it. If you are getting reboots just sitting there or dicking around on the internet that would be more than enough reason for me to take it in and swap it out...especially if you can reproduce the it for them.
Thanks for the replies guys, to answer your questions no I'm completely stock running stock kernel and it happens whenever I'm online or some apps will trigger it. I'd hate to restore but I think it's the only way
Ive had it a couple times.
It started after uploading app from market installing it while I was deleting one at same time
device crashed reboot took place.
From that point a had a couple reboots within days Touchwiz error displaying automatically going to phone keypad no escape from it.
I ended up doing factory reset fixed it all is well
did you by chance take an SD card out if another phone and pop it into that phone? if so, back up whatever data is on it, and try formatting it (if that cures the reboots, obviously something on the sd is corrupt and not cooperating with the system... dont restore anything from that backup you took after formatting) I would then try a facotry reset if the previous doesn't work. if the factory reset doesn't cure it, I'd swap the phone.

Thanks guys, I installed all the apps I could to the sd card. In other words all the apps were in the internal memory and that seems to fix the issue.
I'm not rooted and I'm getting random reboots.

Random instant reboot?

I've been on aokp milestone 5.2 for a few days and I didn't know if it was related to the rom or something I did or whatever but I'll be texting or on Facebook or doin something and my phone will just go to the boot animation of the pink unicorn. And I should probably mention that the colors are out of whack for a few seconds before it goes back to normal and boots up.
Edit: Everything's still there when it boots up everything's where it should be and nothing is missing or anything it just literally reboots instantly without warning or notice.
Edit: Could it be that I'm using advanced task killer? I figured it was okay since it was on the high security level setting, just throwing that out there
Thanks for any help.

No solution to this? It's the same as when I posted this thread, 100% random as far as I can tell. I don't notice anything specific that I'm doing when the reboots happen either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got no help but I can say that this ROM ran totally smooth for me for a while and then suddenly got laggy, and apps have begun not responding regularly.

It is usually either a kernel panic or running out of RAM. You could try the V6 Supercharger for the RAM issue. As for the other I would always try odin clean stock then root and flash ROM and do not restore any data. Download and reinstall 3rd party apps fresh.

Use to happen to me also when i was on AOKP. I only noticed it when i was listening to my music tho....all my VC settings stayed the same after it booted back up so like you said it was just a random reboot. I installed V6 and that worked for the most part. The reboots did start back later on down the road tho.....

If by stock battery you mean the battery it came with then yes. I'm also running aggressive settings with v6 supercharger.
My only real concern was if it was damaging my phone in any way, or if something had already been damaged. But as I've said I really can't see anything out of whack aside from the reboots and colors. (the colors get inverted or negative or something for a few seconds on pink unicorn boot animation then goes back to normal and boots up)

Sorry for the double post I didn't see this one til just now, but I'm going to try that right now, thanks.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
This also happens to me. Same way. But usually when backing out of a text or when ending a phone call. Stock battery. V6 and no v6. Stock kernel and nyan, sammi, and shadow. What I noticed about the reboot is that it doesn't scan sd card or media.
Kang this UNICORN!!
Solution to this is to go back to a TW based rom...try sleeper or the peoples rom, joy and profit

Frustrated

My Google Music app freezes and won't play after a few songs and I have already followed some advice to fix it, but the issue keeps coming back and my other issue is the Ringtone I selected keeps being disregarded and goes back to the default Ringtone. Can anyone help? I am currently on Frankenstein rom, but I have had the same issue on other roms as well.
