Hey,
I've had that issue myself.
Do yourself a favour, take it back to your carrier / wherever you got it. The bottom line is the mainboard needs replacing.
After trying countless ROM's, Radio versions and different navigation software, I gave up and took it in.
First my carrier reflashed the same RUU and gave it back to me. That didn't help. I took it back and they sent it to our local HTC rep's in SA, which then replaced the mainboard.
Don't waste your time on trying different things. Take it back, you'll be saving yourself countless hours of pain and disappointment in the longrun.
Dear mr norris,
Thanz for advise... iwill send it back, tq

hi all!
Just talked to a close friend of mine that has a Desire branded with 3 in sweden.
She told me right now that she is going to send it in for repairs just because 2 errors that seems like they are software related more than hardware related.
First error: When she calls the dialing tone keeps on playing even when the person she calls has answered the call, also keeps on playing in the background after she has finished the call.
Second error: When she is text messaging someone specifik the message can sometimes be sent to a completely different person .
These two errors seems like it's software related , or at least i think so. The guys at the 3 store here in my swedish community tells her that there is an update she hasn't done, but when i checked it her phone is up to date with (OTA) froyo and the latest radio officially released by HTC for the european market.
If anybody has a tips or a solution for these problems i would be grateful
/Michael
Noone that has any clue? Can it help to make a factory reset of the phone or do i need to root it and flash a custom rom maybe to get rid of the problems?
Very strange problems... factory reset might help, might not. Rooting to flash radio and/or rom might to, but would void your warranty, and it's hard to explain your (her) problems are not root-related so I would advise against it.

Okay, well maybe better for her to try and do a factory reset then and if that doesn't help i should advice her to send it in for repair?
I think that's the safest way to go. No use in wasting warranty on a broken phone.

Of course it's not, the reason i thought that could be one way to test my theory of trying other roms was that i thought i could relock the phone like winmo and get the warranty back.
Thank you for the answers
You can relock. Didn't consider that. But it seems a lot of trouble for something warranty is invented for. ;-) But if you want, you could.

Hi all,
Since today my desire will show the uploading arrow flashing as if it is using data but the download one never shows any activity and no apps or internet pages will load. The app market says it cannot connect as if the mobile internet was turned off. My WiFi works fine but my mob data does not. Any ideas what the problem may be?

i had this problem with a de branded (with froyo 2.2 .ruu download) orange handset could not get it to work spent 2 hrs talking to orange about the problem no reason given or found, if i did reset then go into recovery console but do nothing for a while then battery pull it would come back for an undefined period of time phone ended up in a bowl of water orange care are replacing it
Thanks for the advice mate but I don't have the luxury of a replacement handset as I bought the phone off the net and stuck my own sim in it. Mine is a de branded Vodafone running 2.2 froyo Rom. Any other ideas that might help me cure this problem?

Quick update: the data seems to work ok on a g signal and the download problems seem to be just with the h signal downloads

Are you certain that it isn't a network problem?

This is what it is sounding like to me.
Phone, Vodafone and have them check their side? (Also, how old is your sim card?)
My sim card is about a year old now. Do you think I should be checking it out and possibly getting a new one?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I seriously doubt your SIM card is to blame if it was working ok previously.
One thought that does occur to me is are you regularly using MMS? If so, do you have a separate APN for MMS set up?
I'm just wondering if perhaps your phone is trying to send an MMS and continually failing.
Regards,
Dave
i didn't mean put it in water i just said that's what happened to mine so i couldn't get it sorted and looked like it would have been sent back
Hello,
I usually switch between Leedroid and AuraxTSense roms and they have been quite stable until the last few roms i have tried.....
Recently when i am listening to MP3s the phone either reboots or freezes and for the last two days using AuraxTSense rom my phone has switched itself off through the night and i need to remove the battery to start up....sometimes it will reboot while sitting there.
I also have a MIUI rom which i have been using and it works great with none of these problems.
Anybody got any idea to what is happening?
Cheers.
It's a problem with all desires. Look at the general section. They all start rebooting eventually due to a faulty motherboard. You need to send it to HTC for repair.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I didn't know that.
So i will need to unroot and will probably be sent back one of the newer phones without the Amoled screen?
I have UK T-Mobile contract....can anyone point me to where i can unroot my phone please?
Appreciate it.
Thanks for the reply
If you look on the den sections there is a list of ruus run the t mobile one with HTC sync installed. Should unroot. Call HTC they dont replace the phone only the motherboard.

Cheers!....will check it out.
I'm having a problem with an HTC Desire from Australia being used in the US on AT&T.
My father had this phone for a very long time. Since stock suited his needs for so long, I never bothered to S-OFF. Recently he was running out of space on his phone. I got S-OFF, flashed Supernova Rom and partitioned his SD card with 4ext Recovery, giving him 1.36GB to play with. Everything seemed to go fine until 3 days after the Rom upgrade.
His phone's mobile network keeps turning off and staying off. When I go to the quick settings tab, in an attempt to reset the mobile network, it doesn't allow me to turn it back on nor off. It's like the option is disabled. The only way to reset the network is by going in and out of airplane mode, but after time, even that one becomes disabled. The only way to reset from that point is by a full reboot.
I was getting com.andoid.phone force closing on me but I have fixed that by uninstalling facebook. I have tried 5 different radios so far and each one has the same problem. Works for 15 minutes to an hour then shuts off the mobile network. Leaves nothing but an X and no bars and never reconnects on it's own.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please fill me in. I don't know what I should try next.
Maybe its not software issue but hardware? Try to backup actual ROM(e.g. using Recovery) and install official 2.3 HTC Sense and find out if problem still exist.

Thanks. Will give it a shot. I'll check back in with results.
Go to settings/wireless and networks/mobile networks and check if you have access point names configured. I'm pretty sure that the upgrade deleted them and if it's like that do a fresh install.

If you need to restart connections you may not need to reboot. There is a utility in Play store called Restart Connections which does a reset of your connections. It works for me when I am in a low signal area and phone gives up after sometime.
I'm having problems with my HTC One X. The problem was that the WiFi kept switching off whenever I was consuming data (the little WiFi symbol at the top of the screen would disappear and then reappear a second later). This meant that if I was using YouTube or sky go, the video would constantly stop playing and then restart. My phone was sent off to HTC for "repair" and its come back in a worse state. The WiFi symbol continually disappears whenever I'm using it now, meaning that the WiFi is switching off. If I try to download apps from the app store, the WiFi will cut out numerous times during the download and the percentage bar will say "waiting for network" until the WiFi symbol reappears. It's even cutting out if I'm surfing the web. This isn't a problem with my broadband at home because I have numerous other devices that all work fine on the WiFi. I've also tested my phone on a different WiFi network and have the same problem. So the issue clearly lies with my phone. Has anyone else heard of this problem and is there a way of fixing it?

Are you using a different rom or are you with htc original software ?
No, I'm on the original software. I've never rooted it or anything like that. Its an unbranded UK one x.

Try to see on the original package of the phone the s/n (only first 4 letters), you should see HTXX...
XX stands for 23, 25, 26...tell me the number you have!

Ok I understand about the letters but mine says HT 2B. I thought it was supposed to be 2 numbers. Any ideas please.

As I suspected...all the devices HT23 seems to be affected by the "wifi problem"!
Start wifi from the phone and wait it connects then try to gentle press in the area at the top of the phone, on the right, near the volume button (under this area there is wifi card).
The wifi should never disconnect until you keep it pressed! Try!

That solution doesn't work with mine unfortunately. Its already been to HTC once for repair and they've apparently done the fix for the well known WiFi problem that you're referring to. It would appear that the fault with mine is something different. I've arranged for them to take it back for repair again. They've said that if they can't fix it this time, they'll replace it.

I got the WiFi problem 6months after purchase, what I did open it up and glued some foil onto the WiFi copper plate and put it together been working perfect ever since. If that fails after some time ill be soldering 2 wires from the pins to the copper plate done deal, my phones been rooted couldn't be stuffed taking the chance with htc repair.

Have you ICS or JB? Because I've found an issue in wifi when I was on ICS...wifi seemed not to work, but once I turned on the bluetooth the wifi magically worked (both wifi and bluetooth turned on--->wifi working / only wifi turned on---->wifi not working)!
However with the update to JB this issue was fixed.
