Hello,
I've started experiencing a weird problem with my Desire. Generally everything looks fine, but when I try calling somebody
instead of hearing "waiting tone" it goes back to dialer app.
And AFAIK I'm not available as well - I didn't check it thoroughly.
The thing is rebooting the phone (by rebooting device, switching airplaine mode on and off) fix the problem - for the moment - so I'm able to make a call - but my problem is that all the time I'm afraid that in a moment I won't be accessible by other people.
Other solution I've been using, is switching it to GSM only - and I think it solves the problem permanently - but since I'm using a lot of Internet I want to use 3G.
I'm not sure If it really is a 3g (maybe switching 3g/gsm) or other thing - I don't want to reset it default to just check if it will solve my problem.
I'm using original Froyo (from Polish Era) - I didn't do anything to my ROM, and I was thinking of trying maybe some custom (clear) rom - but since this was working fine - I didn't want to mess anything up.
If you have any suggestions how to fix it - please help. I've searched google and xda, but I didn't find a similar problem.
Generally I'm more than happy with my Desire, and I find it to be almost perfect, but this thing is affecting basic functionality, and I really need to do something with it.
P.S. I'm wondering if had something to do with Market, because it started the same day I was upgrading several apps at the same time - and probably because of the connections problem I restarted my device to finish everything. But I'm not really convinced that it was the cause of my bug.
Strange problem - haven't heard of that before.
I would suggest ensuring you have the latest Radio installed and/or also installing a clean rom but try the radio first.

Hey,
I know theres a lot of threads about htc/android phones freezing and crashing/rebooting but none of them really described my exact situation. And since it's getting worse and worse and driving me crazy, I wanted to ask for help.
As the title suggests my HTC Desire keeps freezing and crashing (sometimes rebooting, too).
It all probably started shortly before I first rooted my device, following the great sticky noob-tutorial. First problem was, that sometimes my phone wouldn't wake up from standby, especially after I a missed call (rooting didn't solve that problem).
Some time later, now rooted and with a custom ROM, I noticed, that sometimes when I wanted to use my phone, it showed the PIN-screen, which obviously means, that it rebooted quietly (don't remember if this also happened before rooting).
A few days ago it started to completely freeze, when connected to the charger. Orange LED showed it was charging but no reaction to pressing any buttons or disconnect the charger.
Since yesterday it also crashes randomly in standby mode (can't wake it up) or e.g. when watching a video (just freezes the device, no reaction to button-pressing, screen stays on etc.)
now I am running the stability test with the charger connected - no problem for 1h10min til now...
The ROM I am running is the latest cool sense (problems also existed before the latest update)
No modification of CPU (I used to use SetCPU but since I thought that would cause the problems I uninstalled it -> no improvement)
What could be the problem here? (And how can I solve it, of course?)
Anything else than a full wipe, which could help? (that would be my last option...)
Thanks for helping...
it just happened again -.-
I was just backing up some apps with titanium backup and in the middle of scrolling through the list - freeze!
dunno what to do...
is this hardware or software related?...
Hello.
It would be pretty easy if it is a soft problem. This kind of problems are usually dealt with by installing another ROM and see if the problems persist. So if you want to try and eliminate the last option, go and install another ROM, it can be a Stock ROOT-ed ROM, Sense or anything.
The fact that you mentioned your phone was crashing even before rooting got me thinking it is a motherboard fault. I've read some threads in which people had the same problems, and in the end they all got to the same conclusion: motherboard fault. The only resolve with this is to get it to guarantee.
So first of all try installing another ROM and if the problems persist, you will need to install a RUU and see if this one eliminates your problem. If not then I don't know if there is anything else you could do, besides getting it to the guarantee.
I wait for your progress.
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
The funny thing is, that I didnt have those problems with this ROM in the beginning. Everything was fine, that's why I was using it the whole time. But as I said before, it became worse by and by... thats why I thought it could be an app or so...
that would be a recent list of apps: appbrain.com/user/marioiram/
Cannot even sync my newest list, because after freezing while watching a video, it froze again shortly after reboot... still getting worse
Try reinstalling the ROM or installing another ROM.
hm.. just when I was thinking about following your advice, my desire stopped freezing xD
no crash, no freeze oder reboot since my last post.
I even tried to force it by watching videos, playing games, connect to the charger etc.
everything is fine... strange.
Will see for how long
Well this is good news. Just keep in mind what you can do if the rebooting comes back. Hope it doesn't
Well, it did xD
Now even shortly after reboot. I'll try ROM changes as soon as I get home but there's something I noticed: it often freezes when it's supposed to display a whatsapp notification and sometimes it seems there's a problem with the sdcard (just bought a new one because my old one went nuts). Sometimes the notification 'sdcard was removed unexpectedly' (translated from German) is appearing, but after waiting a few minutes everything is fine again...
Well I'll try some stuff when there's time...

My phone seems to be experiencing random lockups/screen freezes. These seem to be more frequent when I have the mobile internet activate and i’m in a lower signal area or when I try and end a call through my cars Bluetooth handsfree system but they can happen any time, even sometimes when rebooting the phone, pulling the battery after a lockup has occurred and switching back on, the phone will reboot but freeze once again on the unlock screen.
I have not updated the radio, I am currently on version 5.11.05.27, as I have heard all manner of stories about bricked devices, but could this be the issue or is it more likely to be the sd card, or something else completely?
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated as am going to break the back cover of my phone soon, with the number of times am having to pull the battery.
I've ordered a new sd card to see if that will make a difference. The last time I used CWM to create the ext partition, should I do it this way again when the new card arrives or try a different way?
try using gparted live cd to create a partition, but i do not think your problem lies with your sd card
have you tried another rom to see if the problem persists?
Ok, i'll try the gparted method next time.
Yeah the first rom I tried was Gingerburst, that seemed to be ok to start with but sense would crash quite often and then the screen freezes started, so I moved to leedroid and although sense never crashes, the screen lockups have continued. I have looked on various other rom threads and i noticed on the Insertcoin webpage there has been a lot of mentions about the latest kernals causing screen locks, so I might try Insercoins v1.1.3, which everybody seems to be reverting back to and see if I have any more success with that.
I have recently tried InsertCoin CM7/STOCK 1.1.3 and again I seem to be experiencing screen freezes which always seem to be happening when the signal is low or when travelling in the car so possible signal fluctuations.
Does anybody have an ideas on how to fix this issue, would flashing the newest radio help and if so what is the best/easiest way to do it? or could it be a kernel issue, if so what do you all recommend.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would have the freeze issue only in camera mode,otherwise its fine...probably some glitch in my phone,try full wipe n reinstall
I see that this tread is quite old, but i have the same issue with screen freezing. I was useing Leedroid 3.3.3 port on my HTC desire, for 2,5 month and then it started. Ive been trying everything form more than a month now (factory reset, installing aps one by one....) How did you solve the problem if you did at all? or what was the couse
Thx
Do you use software / scripts to control CPU frequencies / voltages?

Well i thought of this as well since the freezing started around the same time as i installed SetCPU (+/- a couple of weeks) but since the 2nd factory reset and installation of apps one by one i excluded the program but the problem still occures.
Also PowerAMP was a problem since i dont install it the freezing is not as ferquent (only every 2nd day not every day....)
I've read it somewhere that UV can couse the porblem, but i've never change that.
Also if i have more apps installed then dose my cpu required higher UV? If yes so then i can try to higher their default level.
I've tried my best with the search tool and google. But I cant find anything regarding my problem, thus I'm asking here (I keep finding questions from people who want random ringtone apps etc)
My phone has begun to randomly change my sounds for incoming calls, notifications etc. I usually note that it happen when someone calls and all of a sudden a random sound is played instead of the one I selected.
I've investigated a bit and found out that if I change the incoming call sound then just wait a hour or so. Then when I go back into settings again another sound is shown. And no, I haven't had the phone connected to my PC or anything like that (which I understand blocks the SD card and prevent sounds from the SD to play while connected). The sound change happens no matter how I set the sounds (via settings or via Sense/Personalize).
This just started to happen out of the blue. I've tried a full wipe of the phone while on ARHD 6.1.2. The problem was still there, did another full wipe and upgraded to ARHD 6.3.1, and its still there.
Did you try another ROM then ARHD (Such as MIUI for example) to see if it's still happening?
I havent had the time yet. But I will try. Though the problem began after a few month on ARHD 6.1.2, so my first thought was that it might not be the ROMs fault. But then again I could be wrong, will try another ROM and come back with my findings.
And I just found someone else with a similar problem; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21541054&postcount=62550
I've started getting this problem on a stock ROM after the latest OTA. Very annoying...
Hey guys,
I need your help here my G3 is acting up now and its really irritating me. So what happens is when im using the phone my WiFi will suddenly drop and I would have to wait around 5 minutes every-time this happens to me. I don't have a problem with my router its a fast router and works well all the time. Lets say i to go into a bathroom and when using the phone the WiFi will drop instantly and I've tried all the steps by forgetting the wifi and re-typing it again, factory resetting going onto my 2.4.GHZ and still receiving the problem. Is there ANY fix out there that can do it its really annoying me and i need it fixed. Please.
Thank you.
I'm no expert, but in my opinion (and assuming you haven't tried this yet) the first thing I would do is to do a hard reset. It is unclear from your post if the problem is occurring immediately after a hard/factory reset, so will assume you have added all apps afterwards.
If it is still happening after that (and before you start installing all your apps) then you have a problem with the phone itself. If not add all your apps back and ensure all have been opened/run.
If it starts happening again, then it might be an app causing it. Hard reset again and then add your apps back piecemeal (maybe 5 at a time - keep not of which ones you are doing) and open each one after installation (as installing is one thing, but the running of an app might be the cause)
This way, if it does start happening again, you will know which 1 (or maybe 5) app(s) is to blame.
As I said, I am no expert, but this is the logical way I would go about eliminating or trying to find the cause of an annoying problem.

I had a similar issue and the cause for me was having both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks SSID the same. If you have a dual band router name each differently. Hope that helps.

Update on the phone I did manage to do a factory reset and have fixed the problem thank you rjcb23
Weird though I did multiple factory resets and that actually managed to fix the problem aha. Thank you. : )
Hi guys,
I've updated the phone to the last global beta - 7.12.28 and noticed one big issue and a few other smaller ones. I hope someone might have ideas on how to fix them.
The WiFi turns on as soon as the screen is off. What I've done so far is to make sure no app has permission to turn the WiFi on (using the built in permission manager). I've cleared cache and rebooted the phone several times.
Another issue is the MIUI memory optimization is always disabled, no matter if you change it to something else or not.
And the third one that I can think of right now is the region - it always reverts back to China. Now this has been outgoing for a while, so it might be something with my phone.
What I've done on the phone is to root it and have Xposed install and active. I've also ran Unbloatmi, great script to get rid of apps you don't need. I haven't tried alternative roms like Lineage.
Recently I installed floppy kernel, but the wifi issue remains with the stock kernel too.
I'm open to suggestions
Issue resolved with the next update.
I suggest to you to use global stable. It's old, but global dev is always bugged for this phone. Do what you want, but my experience is bad
Yeah it's always preferred to use stable roms on phones in production environment. But I like to live on the edge And I got into the routine to remove most of the unnecessary apps right after the update. So overall - the phone is quite stable. But now it has the same MAC as my wife's phone. Go figure...
