[Q] Reboot on install

Hi fellow HTC Desire owners
I have this problem i have been having for a couple of weeks now,
it started after i installed AuraXtSense 8.0 - or w/e its called
and i couldnt be arsed to do anything to help it, before now
The problem consists in, my desire reboots when im installing an app,
not whilst downloading, but just in the very start of the installing process.
I can install some apps, angry birds etc. - and thank god for that
I have tried with different ROM's, both /w and w/o sense, and MIUI aswell..
I have the latest radio, so that is probably not the issue, - or i dunno, i dont even know what the hell that one does :s
I hope you can help me, it would really be appreciated

Try wiping the rom I had this issue when my phone was rooted and that fixed it.

[NEED HELP] WLAN/WIFI Problem at DESIRE Z

Hi guys,
maybe somebody may help me with the problem.
I am a owner of the Desire Z.
Done a Update to 2.2.1.
Used this faq for downgrade and rooting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
Afterwards i ve installed the recovery of http://www.klutsh.com/ .
First everything worked fine (WLAN etc.)
Cause i installed different Apps (Titan Backup, SMS blocker etc.) through WLAN.
Cant tell what happened but now i am having the following problem:
- Does not connect to my WIFI AP even if it worked quite well before.
- When i turn on WLAN through option menu the icon/symbol does not appear at the upper Part of the phone.
- Even closed APs (not mine) aren´t shown at the menu for the WLAN configuration.
- It is still possible to establish the internet connection to my provider and this one still works proper.
What am i doeing wrong?
Which further Infos do you need to help me with this problem?

Sounds like something you have installed has broke the WiFi as it was working when you first installed the ROM.
My advise would be to back everything up, do a factory wipe & then start again. This time after installing each app & its backup checking the WiFi.
This way you will find the app which is to blame & can get rid of it

You are wright with your solution of the problem.
I think this would help.
But i thought that there would be a easier and less time intensive solution like.
updating kernel, radio or something else.
Or am i wrong?
Because your solution looks more like trial and error which would takes a lot of time again.

The issue is that something is broken in your phone and it's not a common problem (you may be the only one who is experiencing it), so there isn't an accepted solution for it yet.
If you nandroid back up your phone as it is now, then wipe, you should be able to identify what app you installed or what you changed to break WiFi, from there if you wished you could restore the nandroid backup and work on fixing the problem. If you share what you learn it might be of help to anyone who runs into a similar issue in the future.

Edit - never mind, misunderstood the question.

actually i am sorry i can t tell to 100 % what changed the seetings.
have done a wipe and tryed some ealier backups which i have done before.
In one Backup the Functionality was still given and i hadn t to install from the beginning again.
If i will have again the problem i will write here a report.

[Q] HELP: my HTC Desire reboot/freeze/hangs when I use a cooked ROM

Hi guys:
I am really desperate now... my phone only seems to work with the official ROM, everytime I rooted, and installaed a Cooked ROM (GB ROM) very soon (in a minutes of using it) it will hang or freeze or reboot.
I explain all backround:
1. firstable I have my desire working for awhile with many cooked ROM (Froyo), after months,the phone started to reboot everytime, so I have sent it to the SAT, and they changed the motherboard. and give it back to me.
- The new motherboard is
PVT4
HBOOT 0.93
MicroO 0,51d
2. I rooted it OK (using unrevoke methos)
3. Flashed a cooked ROM => then is when the problem starts, everything after falshing is OK, but after a few time of usage with the cooked ROM, then the phones starts to freezes randomly.
some further info:
- tried with Neophyte ROMs Reflez 2.0.9,2.1.0...2.1.6 => same issue
- tried with LeeDrOiD V2.5.0 FINAL | 28th May l Official => same issue
- tried with LeeDrOiD GB 3.0.6 => same issue
if I go back into the offical ROM (by unrroting method) using the "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed" => Issue is NOT reproduced!
- In all cases, I did try to keep ONLY apps coming from the flasehd ROMs, to make sure any app is causing the issue.
- I have tried using another miniSDcard (8GB class 4) => same issue!
Is it anything wrong with the new motherboard?
Is there anyway to check logs or trace why is freezing?
Any clue?
Thanks for your advise!
best

I have the same problem. I have noticed that most times my desire freezes when I download something over mobile network. So maybe the problem is in A2SD? I'm going to try with Cool Kingdom Rom, because I already have EXT4 Partition.

Thanks a lot Deivino for your comments.
Please keep me posted about what happens with your "Cool K. ROM"
hope your issue is gone then.
Mine still present, I can use ONLY the official ROM.

So I had no luck with Cool Rom. It still freezes, but much less now. Also these freezes are very random now, mostly when screen is off. I haven't flashed jet the newest radio and ril, but I don't think it would fix it either. I was thinking about unrooting, but when I did, I got less than 30% battery error with full battery. So I have no idea how to fix it or what is even causing this freezing.

Hi Deivino
Since I've unsuccesfully tried with many cooked ROMs, finally I have decided to take the phone to SAT, which fortunately still on guarantiee.
Let's see what do they find...
good luck with your phone,
best

I managed to unroot my desire and now running official android 2.2 what htc provides and the problem still occurs for me. I don't see no other way but to send it to warranty.

Hi Deivino
I did the same, actually many things unsuccesfully as you see in my first post.
Finally, I sent it to warranty, and they gave me back already a new device!
Now, it works OK.
So, unfortunately, the issue was not fixed at all, either I don't know what caused the issue.

Try cyanogenmod.. it's THE singlemost stable ROM you can install on your phone. Never fails.

I agree.. never had an issue with CyanogenMod ROMs

Hi Guys,
thanks, finally I sent my desire to SAT, and they gave me back a complete new one!
So, with the old one I did all in my hands unsuccesfully as I explained in my first post, so I didn't try CyanogenMod ROMs therefore I will never know if it would works!
Anyway, thanks a lot guy for all your suggestions.

[Q] MIUI rooted Desire randomly restarts

So, I have HTC Desire with rooted MIUI rom for a while.
HTC Desire, GSM, MIUI 2.1.6
It was okay until 5th January. I have about 25 installed apps and anything was fine. Few days ago I noticed strange "Force stop" in apps like Twitter, Foursquare, Internet Browser.
Then the same started to happen with random restarts of the phone. The phone simply started, then restarted and entered into bootscreen loop, so I ejected battery and inserted and so on. Clearing Dalvik Cache doesn't help.
Also when I try to enter Wi-Fi settings it freezes and gives out "Force close application?" That's just ridiculous!
I have lately updated from previous MIUI version 2.1.4 because that problem started there, but with no changes.
Can you please help here?

i have always faced similar issues with MIUI , my phone doesnt like it
so i have simply stopped using it
edit: if you still want to use MIUI id suggest you stick with a stable version for a while rather than weekly updates

Well, it really might be like that. Seems like I fixed those issues by doing a full phone wipe and fresh flash. Which release can you suggest me?

Wich releases did you try before ?

I have MIUI on mine and flash each update. The biggest issue I have is that it tries to update and always fails with an E:\SDCard error in recovery. I just download and then flash the full rom (no wipes) and it works a treat. The one issue I have with 2.16 is that SMS messages disappear below my 'Better Keyboard' where they didn't in the version prior. I've switched to Android keyboard now but have yet to see if the issue persists. That said, it is by far the most stable ROM I've ever used and I'm running 40+ apps on it with zero problems.

As far as it is, it looks fine. No big problems at all. The only issue is that I backed up 5000+ messages back to phone, I like to store them there. Sometimes seems like it is a little hard for android to hold so many sms's.

[Q] Help: Gps not working as it should.

Hey guys,
My gps isn't working accurate.
First off it worked pretty good but when I changed to a custom rom (android revolution Hd) it didn't anymore.
When i use google maps, it takes a damn long time to get a fix on my position and when it does it stays accurate for about 5 seconds and then it starts to change to a street next to me then to another side... etc. . Also when i am standing still it jumps for my location to 50meters ahead of me and behind me, changing my speed to 20km/h ... I think you get the problem. Also the same problem on navigon (navigation software) it is constanly rerouting me because of the inaccurate position. So its not an application issue.
I flashed the rom as it should be, with boot.img through fastboot and zip file in cwm. Except for the gps there are no other issues.
Then i flashed the original rom in cwm with boot.img in fastboot, still the same problem.
I then tried CM10 and it became even worse... every 20 seconds it gave me a position update in maps and with navigon there wasn't even a update because it couldn't get a fix.
And i also used fasterfix on every rom except the original one (not rooted) to set my gps to europe.pool.ntp.org or something like that...
Now i am trying to revert to android revolution HD but first my battery has to be charged above 10% and it goes damn slow because of the bricked boot (made a mistake while changing form CM10 to And rev HD) Can't flash the and rev HD yet but does somebody in the meantime know a solution ?

Somebody ??
Could it be a problem with the kernel ? because i didn't flash one separatly

Does somebody has a solution ?

Unfortunately, I also have the same problem with rom coredroid and igo primo aid to some expert please
thanks

I had the same issue when I moved from Stock to the Modaco Ir5 Vanilla ROM, my GPS didn't even go as far as finding my location inaccurately, it didn't work at all. Hence I couldn't use my maps/navigation.
I am now running the Slim Bean ROM and everything is working great. I am no expert, but have you always done the usual 'full wipe data > clear cache partition > clear Dalvik cache' while flashing new ROMs?
For your charging issue, maybe try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646135

My phone is now allright but you i'll try the rom you are speaking about and see if the gps works better.
and... Also tried another kernel (eternity) but it still didn't work

I had this issue and had it fixed after sending my phone to service 3 times.
The first time they only did a reset, didn't help.
Second time they changed the wifi, GPS module, didn't help.
I sent them a recording of the problem on the third time. This time they changed the motherboard and it finally got fixed.
Remember to tell them that the issue is specially visible when GPS and WiFi are both on.
