Bougth this on May 2010 in the Philippines. Been to the US and upgraded by Desire to Official Froyo (OTA) and works fine after a few days. But now, every 5-10 minutes of extensive use, the phone restarts and hangs up during boot.. Need to remove the battery, and let it cool down for a few moments before it can restart correctly. Sometimes there are black outs too. this all happened after 2.2 update. Never been rooted.
Any idea how to fix this?

Why make it your problem? If its all stock send it to HTC to repair for you.

Hello,
I have a strange problem with my HTC Artemis (O2 XDA branded, bought in Germany, no lock)
It behaves unstable and indeterministic.
Unstable means that it crashes/stucks or turns off.
Indeterministic means that it happens when i plugg it to charger, when i'm syncing, when a phone rings, when using applications/tomtom or just i arrive to work and i find the device off.
When it crashes or i find it off, the biggest problem is to boot the device. It takes me typically 10mins, when i'm always trying to press the power button, push the reset button or unplugg the battery for a while in random order until i bring it to work.
After first crach, the device also often crashes or stucks again during the boot process.
Once, the device was so dead, that it took me two days to bring it into bootloader mode and then i could at least flash the ROM.
All these was happening with ARTEMIS TOUCH 4.01 WWE - LITE NO CUBE.
Yesterday, i switched to ARTEMIS TOUCH 4.02 WWE - LITE NO CUBE (burned FW twice) without installing any other applications and the problems are still here
My personal feeling is that it is getting every week worser.
When i bought the device (eBay), there was original FW with Win Mobile 5 on it, i immediately flashed to ARTEMIS TOUCH 3.01(?) WWE - FULL WITH CUBE, i can only remember that that time I had a problem with gsm radio - from time to time i found it stucked/off - to bring it to work i had to reset the device. So i flashed to 4.01 and this issue was away, but approx 2months ago, the above described behaviour has started and nowdays i'm fighting with it 2-3x a day.
so, can anybody help?

I have a similar problem, what's really strange to me is, that as far as i can recall it started happening 2 months ago or so also!! weird huh...
my device simply reboots from time to time! even while i'm making a call.
the weird thing about these reboots is that when it comes back to live i do not have to enter my pin to enable the phone! everytime i perform a manual reboot (by software, using the pin or remove battery) i have to insert my pin to able to make a call...
i have upgraded from 3.01 full touch to 4.02 full touch about the time it started, i have now 4.02 vanilla touch but problem still occurs from time to time.
any ideas?
Im another one to join this boat!
Bought an MDA C 3, two days ago, bought of someone from gumtree.com.
Worked fine for the first hour, and then locked up - nothing on the screen, no LED. Only way to get it going was to remove battery and then press power button.
I upgraded the ROM from the original t-mob UK WM5 to mechles fine release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371182
The lock-ups / crashes have now become rarer, on average every 4 hours (before was every 1 hour).
There is no pattern to them either, although I have saw the screen trun all corrupted just before it happens. The last one was caused when I pressed the 'start' button.
I'm on a T-Mob contract, and lost my Kaiser, got ripped of when I tryed to replace it by a tosser on here for $375 Thief on the loose thread, and was hoping my luck had changed when I bought this one!!
It is T-mob branded and I wonder if there isn't a fix on here, would T-Mob repair it under warranty??
same "issue" with no entering of PIN after reboot. But not always

I have been using this rom for a while and sometimes, without any visual warning the phone freezes up. This is particularly ennoying because there is no way to check wether it is working or not. Every other function or software keeps working ! The phone is just not receiving any calls or sms. So you can miss an entire day of calls and sms without knowing... Only when trying to call somebody the dialer says 'Dialing...' and nothing happens. No connection.
A soft reset is needed to get the phone working again.

btw, now i'm again trying to turn the device on, it's again stuck. grrr
Hello,
i had a few weeks ago a similar strange behaviour.
After changing the sd-card I had problems to turn the device on. After a hard reset it began to boot but hang.
The I flashed back to original O2 ROM. Then I had a unpredictable behaviour. Somtimes no sound. Sometimes I cound not be called. Sometimes Error message "no sim card". After every reset i had an other error.
Hard reset and flashing was no solution. Removing battery for less than 4 hours has no effect.
Then I wanted to send it back for repair. I took of the battery. The next day I wanted to try a last time and surprise: The device works fine without an error. Its hard to believe, but the removal of the battery for more than 8 hours was the solution.
Now I use it for 5 weeks without a problem.
regards
Andre
It is Happening to my device too!!
It stucks every 2-3 hours!Tried many of the cooked ROMs but nothing.Also tried all the radio roms for 1-2 days.still the same!
It stucks with no particular reason.SOmetimes in s2u2 sometimes when am receiving a call.... etc.
Had the pin problem too for 3-4 times!
I will try your sugestion ANDRE and we will see!
Also i will try flashing the original rom,cid unlock and then flash the cood rom twice!
Fingers crosed....

now, i will try to flash back original german o2 rom
I think mine is sorted now, thanks to a new battery.
Installed it on Wednesday and hasn't died/crashed once since then.
I did notice before that the battery was getting warm, and I stuck the handset on the vent of my AC in the car, and this seemed to make the phone more stable.
Got one from Deal Extreme or try the XDA shop.
It worked for me!!
bricked or not?
did my device get bricked?
last friday i wanted to change firmware and during step1-cid unlocking (device should never been cid locked) pda got stucked. So i unplugged it and since then i cannot turn it on or get it into bootloader mode.
the only proof of life is when I take away battery and plugg it to power supply, then the red diod turns on and off for 1/2sec.
any idea what to do?

but i cannot get into bootloader mode so no flashing from SD card or PC
bricked device
so my device ist still dead
is there any possibility to hard flash bootloader (when corrupt)? or the only way is to change the mainboard?

the good sign are the leds that means you have a very good chance...the guy made the piont...check the wiki
random crashes are often caused by hardware malfunction...sometimes the connection on the motherboard stuck,get broken or make a short-circuit...so check the hardware
Today my friend got his HTC Desire, attempted update to 2.2 (I think that's what he tried)...
before the update started, the screen went black. He cancelled the update and hard rebooted the device. Still no luck. there's nothing appearing on the screen at all.
The other features of the device all work, the phone works, and the touch screen is registering input, the reboot key combination appears to work, but the screen isn't displaying anything, and the backlight isn't coming on at all.
Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what can be done to make the Desire desirable once more?
Have you tried rooting it?
is it a branded or debranded Desire?
Can you confirm what it was he was doing??
It's a UK o2 branded Desire, he was attempting to debrand at the time.
We have tried both warm and cold reboots
This sounds like a hardware problem. I am facing the same issue, but it's sporadic. For me it started before I rooted (so I don't think it's related), and the screen went blank with a single pixel width white line at the top. After a while the screen would gradually go green. I found that it fixed itself after either taking the battery out or waiting a while. I'm gonna return my handset after I unroot it (t-mobile uk, locked), but will have to wait till I get back from abroad. I'm hoping the t-mobile update won't be out when I get back cos I want to be able to root it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
he's had it replaced by o2... thankfully he hadn't rooted it before the problem occurred, and they straight up swapped it for him
Hi,
Since a week or so, Im experiencing a weird problem with my Desire HD.
This is not always happening, but it happens very sometimes.
When I make a picture, the flash flashes, and the phone turns off... and it will not turn on by pushing the on/off button.
Only taking out the battery, and put it back in helps to get the phone starting up again.
After it is started up, the automatic blacklight adjusting is turned off, and the screen is on full brightness.
Does anyone else experience this problem either? and maybe having a solution?
Btw, it's not the SD, it also happens with a different SD.
Thanks in advance!
Greetz,
Joshoon.
Bump,
No one having an idea?
I only remember it happening the first day I bought it. Almost took it back for replacment, but then I solved it by removing the battery .
It never happened since, and the only thing I did after that was install the latest HTC update.
Check if you're updated.
I've experienced something close to this, only that my phone didn't shut down but just the camera app was closing anytime I tried to take a picture or record a video. Restarted the phone and everything works ok ever since.

My DHD was up-to-date when it happend.
It happend 2 times now.
I contacted HTC about it, there were not known with the problem, and the employee told me it could be a software problem, so they told me to do a factory reset.
Just did that, I hope the issue doesn't pop up again.
I'll keep the thread updated
Update!
Still had not the issue again, so HTC were probably right!
I still have that problem with shutting down phone after taking pictures with flash. I think it's battery related because it happens then battery is lower than 50%. All updates installed and I've done factory reset a couple of times. Anybody find a solution for this annoying problem?

I'm now switched to Galaxy Note since December, but it did not happen again with my Desire HD.
I also had a custom ROM on my Desire HD mostly after this all.
So you could try that too.
if your DHD turn off after take picture with flash, just replace battery will fix this, i'm tested with my DHD at 12/22/2013
I'm having this problem from stock ROM (unrooted) to latest rooted ROMs (Virtuous Sense, InsertCoin...). I've already have it's firmware reinstalled by HTC first and then board replacement the second time I have the problem.
The phone just shutdowns itself and I cannot turn it on again unless I pull out/in the battery or plug in the charger. There is one time that I can't even turn it on by doing anything but after numerous battery pulls I can boot into Recovery and restart in there.
Is this a hardware faulty? If so the do I have to revert it back to unrooted in order to have it repaired by HTC?
I'm living in Vietnam and there are authorized HTC support center here but I don't know whether the policy to deal with rooted phone is different? And also will I have a new replacement because it has been repaired many times
I have a similar problem with my g2. No matter what rom I flash the phone just randomly shuts down and wont start unless I pull the battery. Sometimes it take a day or 2 for it to happen, sometimes it happens with couple of hours it seems. Any thoughts?

Exactly the issue I'm having... this is a known common problem with Desire Z / G2, isn't it?
Anyone with the experiences dealing with HTC support can help me and others having this same issue?
I'm still looking for some experienced insights about this matter...
Any other have had this issue and did you return your phone to HTC for repairing and how is the result?
I am also having a similar problem, sometimes my phone just powers off. There is no warning or shutdown animation just one second its working fine next its a black screen and I have to press the power button to boot the phone back up. Now I don't have to pull my battery like the rest of you so it may be a different issue. It happens on multiple roms.
I've had my G4 for a few months now, never had any problems until recently. The phone just freezes, sometimes just a 'normal' freeze, sometimes half of the screen turns to black/noise. Occassionaly it reboots on its own, but most of the time the power button doesn't respond and I have to take out the battery.
The freeze occurs at any given point, typing a text, being on FB, playing a game, ..
Last sunday I did a factory reset and everything worked perfectly fine until today..haven't installed any new apps or anything..
I hope someone can help me.
Cheers.
Now it's just freezing/restarting every two minutes or so..

maybe its abou to get the infamous bootloop.. need to send it to LG to fix.
Mine did that and went into the bootloop a couple of hours later. It now is at a LG partner for repair. Better safe all data you need right now, just to be safe.
