I have different problems with my HTC Desire.
1. Bluetooth won't be turned on. After trying to turn it on it switches back after a few seconds.
2. The time/clock is running too slow. Each hour it's about 5 minutes before the actual time. I now set it each hour with ClockSync, but that's just a workaround.
3. Phone gives "No signal" a few times a day. Only when device is off. As soon as I turn the device on it connects with my T-Mobile network in a few seconds.
Are these problems related to each other?
I tried different ROM's and also different Radio versions. All with the same problems.
Could it be a hardware failure?
Reset it to stock then send it back for repair. If this happens on various ROMs, including the stock one, it must be a hardware issue.
P.S. - If the phone is set to "take" the time settings from the mobile network operator, it could be their fault.

A lot of times lately I'm losing my 3g Mobile Network, my signal strength will be a full 4 bars and I still get the issue. Usually if I reboot the phone it will come back. I'm starting to think it gets lost after it connects to WiFi and then when I disconnect WiFi. Anyone having this issue? If so, are there any tricks to getting this to stop?
My phone is completely stock 2.2, no root.
I'm not sure which of these events may have triggered my intermittent lack of 3G connectability but these are the only changes I've made since this started happening:
1) Upgraded to Froyo.
2) Performed the .dun trick to allow 3g Hotspot. (Although I never use it, I tested it a few times but this problem happens without the Hotspot turned on.)
Did you do a factory reset after the froyo update?
Sent from my Incredible using tapatalk.
Nope, I used the SD card method before I got the OTA. Have never done a factory reset.
I have this as well, be it im on a different carrier (Cricket) but it appears in all stock htc froyo builds.
My assumption is that is the radio being used. of how HTC's implementation of Froyo interacts with the radio.
I switched radio's and havent had it occur on me while in the OS yet, and it does occur sometimes on boot still, but if it loads on boot it seems to stay up and stable.
My trick is to turn airplane mode on for about 30 seconds (30 seconds after i see the airplane icon), then turn it off, i assume this reloads the radio, when the brings 3g back.
I can also read my nv settings with qpst and reflash them back to the phone with no changes, which causes the radio to reload as well, and 3g ALWAYS kicks back on.
Also updating the PRL (even if its the same PRL) seems to work as well (assuming this is due to the reboot, which reloaded the radio)
The radio i am using now is:
2.15.00.09.01 - Seems pretty stable, except the occasional one of at boot, which is fixed by airplane on/off.
From what i can gather this nothing to do with custom roms, as many offical Verizon customers on Official NON Rooted 100% completely stock phones have this as well.
Hopefully HTC/Verizon will fix this in a MR update.

I'm gonna try that next time it happens. Easier than rebooting, then it wont bother me too much.
I had that problem once, and never saw it again.
One problem that just happened for a second time today is I cannot send or recieve MMS. HTC had me reboot the phone and call VZW support, of course they yelled at me for not using a task killer -.-
The reset worked, but I'm going to get annoyed if this becomes a regular problem
I have same setup and same issue. As soon as I made the EPST changes for tethering and hotspot, I started having this issue where I'd lose my data connection completely after disconnecting from my wifi when I leave my house. A reboot of the phone fixes it but it's still kind of annoying. It happens I'd say about twice a week.
My phone has had absolutely no problem connecting to Wi-Fi for the longest time. About a month ago, it started refusing to connect to Wi-Fi properly. If I go to the wireless settings, as soon as Wi-Fi turns on, it turns itself off immediately, and it keeps doing this over and over. I've tried different kernels (including stock), different ROMs, which sometimes fix it for a little while but it always goes back to this. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, or know how to fix it?
I am on my second International HTC one X and both devices would lose the carrier signal quit often... I would either go to airplane mode, or turn the network off and on and it would grab it again. Sometimes it would be good for the day and other times, I would have to do it a few times....
I wanted to think it was my carrier having issues (MTS in Winnipeg MB Canada)... however, this has never happened on my many other devices. Now I wake up today and turn on the mobile data, after awhile... it does not connect, under settings it says disconnected because service is unavailable. I tried reboots, restart, airplane mode, checking apn settings.... on my last reboot, it says No signal/emergency calls only.
So now I am fearing a hardware issue (but I find it odd it happens on both my one xs).
I love this device and aside from this potentially huge issue.... I have no complaints, so I will ask here and see if you guys have any solid input.. before I contact htc!
I also popped my sim in and out, as of right now...
Thx in advance.
**update: it almost seems like putting wifi on, knocks out my carrier signal.... after an hour of doing the above things, I turned off wifi, went to airplane mode and now my signal and data is there (it makes no sense) and it is quite a hassle
The weirder part is, it seems to only be in the morning.... once I am up and running, I do not seem to have many issues through out the day, but If I put wifi on long enough... It goes to no signal/eventually....
If I do not put on wifi, it either does not drop.... or I am not noticing.
I've just begun having network problems but I'm not sure it's related to your situation. I'm in Australia on the Optus network.
It happened suddenly yesterday. Service completely cuts out for extended periods. It will occasionally come back on for a short while (long enough to download all my sms) but will then cut out again. When the signal does briefly come back in, the signal strength is decent: it's an all-or-nothing proposition.
Did you manage to resolve your situation? Would be interested to know what resolved it for you.
I've had this phone since early April when it was released here and the is the first issue I've had with it. I haven't done anything new to my phone in the past week so I'm finding this strange. I'm running Leedroid 4.0.0 but I've had that installed for weeks without issue. I'm worried it could be a hardware issue.
I'm going to try reflashing it tonight to see if it's a software issue.
Hi,
I've been reading the other shutdown issue with interest from the start but I think that my particular issue is different and I'd like to know whether anyone else has my exact problem.
I'm using the o2 UK 16GB version 10A/234 and this is the problem:
When I reboot the phone and it gets to the lockscreen, if the network status is "disabled" on the lockscreen and I swipe to open, the phone shutsdown and can't be started again until I remove the battery.
If I wait for a couple of seconds when the lockscreen comes up, there is a little lag but the phone works as normal.
I can replicate this issue over and over again, so it is not a random occurrence AND this is the second handset that I have had where this exact problem is present.
Does anyone else have this issue?

I'm facing the same issue. Is your device rooted?
At first every (re)boot without being connected via usb to a charger or a computer would result in a shutdown shortly after I enter my pin. After a day of usage I cannot reproduce it anymore, although it still happens from time to time, for example yesterday when I tried to send a text while having very bad to no reception. When it happens I also have to remove the battery or hook it up to a charger, otherwise the buttons/screen would not respond..
I'm thinking there is a (firmware) problem with the chipset since it always happens when my phone is trying/strugling to connect to the mobile network. I installed an app which constantly writes logs to my sd, hopefully that will give me more information about what's causing the problem..
Are you also having bad reception when the device shuts down? My previous device (iPhone 5s) had normal reception in my house, incl. a stable 3G connection, always 2-3 bars of 5. The LG G3 is constantly strugling with the connection to the network and often switches to "emergency calls only"..

This happens rooted non-rooted, stock (no added apps) and always whilst connecting to phone network. Are you on same variant as me and if you leave it for a moment before putting in your pin does it then work ok?. I'm trying to get o2 to change my handset for another model (m8) but they just want to fix my one.

Yes I'm on the same variant. Still running the 10A firmware.
Sometimes it works, but I will do some more test this evening after work and see if I can reproduce it every time and hopefully get some usable logging too.
I think this is fixed in the 10f firmware update that I installed yesterday. I haven't had a shutdown since :victory:

i was facing almost same issue except my phone crashed and don't want to boot up, haven't edited anything just started bluetooth. sometimes it start sometimes it doesn't
now it doesn't want to boot at all even charge screen gets stuck
I have two Note2's both with the same ROM on, Temasek Cyanogen Mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-temasek-s-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-t3294601
One is perfect, the other often, 2-3 times a day loses all 2g/3g connectivity and has to be reset, resetting gets the connection back, but for a random time period.
I do not know if it is the ROM, phone, or SIM itself that is at fault, what is the easiest way to prove each one?
Thanks!
I would flash back to a completely stock rom and use it for a few days to see if the problem still occurs. If it does, it's probably a hardware issue.
