Hey,
does it happen while running normally or while booting up?
I guess it's important to know what ROM you are using ... maybe you got something wrong while flashing your phone ...

Probably a hardware issue, you need to send it to htc for repair , so go baxk to stock
sent from my htc desire running aurora v03
Flash back to a stock Rom first and see if it still reboots.

Basic case of motherboard problem. Go back to stock and send it to HTC for repairs and they will change your motherboard.

[SOLVED] Camera+flash+proximity sensor not working

EDIT: SOLVED THis was a hardware problem, solved by htc
My Proximity Sensor, Flash Lite are Not Working Now... And the Camera has become worst.. it is taking lower than VGA type images...
Do you think that the camera and sensor and flashlight are wasted or.. it is a software problem which can be solved
How will I know that my phone is BRICKED...
This is Happening With me
My desire is not waking up by pressing the power button and track ball..
It is happening again and again tried many ROMs aosp's too.. Different kernels..Even different recoveries.nothing is woking out
It is also happening with and without the a2sd scripts of different types..
After everytime this happening I have to reboot my device and after rebooting it works well but as i puts it on sleep be pressing power button and leaving it for few mins again same thing is happening ....
Despite of all this Battery is working just fine..
Only ONE thing is WORKING, as i'm using ext recovery. After the freeze happens I restarts it into recovery and do USB UNBRICK.. than it works flawlessly foe cou[le of hours or may be for one and half hour... then again the same type of freeze is happening .. It is happening with me from last two days..
I think my desire is getting USB BRICKED again and again..I don't know why..
Have you face this problem and may be know the solution..
: Now I've installed RMD recovery which seems to be far stable than others specially 4ext recovery..
: Today I've installed revolution 3.0 from tamirDa the ROM and it is working good...But instead of having 160MB internal space..I am having only 35MB space.... even after flashing leedroid's dalvik to ext.. it is only 133MB..
: I can live with all above as my desire actually started a little functioning ..
But as soon I restarts my phone weather in recovery or normal the phone starts after very long delay and says that battery is 0%... in normal mode it again shows 0% and gets power down..
: Again when I restarted it in recovery and in advance menu put mount on sd, ext, system, boot.. and restarts the recovery it starts very quickly and shows battery as normal.. and after that in normal boot.. it surely takes time but shows the battery as normal and starts functioning...
One strange thing is happening... after all thing phone is flying like hell..so smooth so fast never saw this before...and the battery is going upto 2days normally...
May be this is because I've not installed any extra applications..
My Problems are
1. Internal Memory is 35MB only(I have 1GB of ext4 part.)
2. Phone is taking too long to boot in recovery and Normal too
3. I am not able to downgrade or upgrade hboot..it is stucked at cm7r2
4. no rom except aosp's and revolution 3.0 is working
Here is What I've tried
1. In fastboot mode oem enableqxdm 0, and oem eraseconfig...In windows command prompt
2. Changed several recoveries like 4ext, clockworkmod v5, RMD, 4ext touch by android flasher and command prompt too
3. Tried a AOSP rom mildwild and revolution3.0, Runnymede Ai0 5.0, by wiping boot, system, cache, dalvik, factory reset, ext and everything came along in the list...FULL WIPE CLEAN INSTALL
4. reprtitioned sd card by gpartedlive cd
5. tried changing hboot..both from command prompt fastboot and by putting image zip on sd card.. both says successful but hboot didn't changed..
6. tried flashing stock htc ruu's ... phone stucked with the attention kind of sign
7. to solve battery 0% issue tried mounting all mounts inrecovery then it worked but long time .
since all this i've not estarted my phone.. it is working well but...as above..it is not working
can someone help please
Use HBOOT downgrader and flash stock hboot. Run HTC GB RUU to get back to stock.
Start again from scratch.

htc replaced the entire phone or just the parts...and how much time it took
They replaced the part. The whole process took 3 weeks. I live in iceland so it had to be shipped abroad and back which added some waiting time

Need some advice...

Hi all..
I recently got my HTC One X and unlocked the bootloader, installed Clockwordmod followed by flashing a couple of different ones to see which one I liked.. (All of them are snappy, feel & look great...)
Where the problem lies is when I try to play a game or watch a video (aka accessing the gpu) the system instantly freezes and then reboots..
This problem never occurred using the stock software only became apparent when I started using customs.
It happens with all games I've tried...
Problem is now what shall i do? I made the foolish error of not backing up my stock ICS.
My phone is unbranded, so perhaps I could use someone elses unbranded stock rom to revert back to?
Shall I unroot? Pretty bloody worried to be honest... what if i've broke it?
Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks in advance

Hey thanks for replying so fast.
I was just looking for what you suggested and cannot find it anywhere in the development section nor in the "everything htc one x" thread...
Am I being blind?
Also, do I just flash it like a normal room? (e.g. put it on my internal memory and flash through recovery?)
Thanks again

Superwipe wipes the system as well, going between different ROMs without doing this may be the cause of your issues. Back up and try it out

Adam, thank you for helping this far.
I have completed a superwipe along with clearing cache and wiping data, reinstalling stock rom and no luck. the problem still occurs... open up a game and it instantly freezes and reboots itself.
Argh, my stomach feels rough...
What do you think i should do now?
edit: just a quick update, have tried various roms and the problem occurs in all. superwiped everytime as well. i think its a problem with the gpu...
in the mean time if anyone else could chime in with any ideas/help would be v.grateful..
otherwise should i send phone back?

If you send the phone for repairs HTC will claim the mainboard needs changing and try to charge you several hundred for it because your bootloader is unlocked.
Try going to settings>developer options and toggling force GPU rendering

Have tried this too, no luck.
Any other ideas? The phone works perfect apart from this...
It's a new contract phone and comes with a 30 day fault return, couldn't I unroot it and give that a go? Would they know?.
Bump for this one last time before I try and get it replaced.
Any thing else I can do?

Mobile Data drops when screen locked

When ever I lock my screen, my data will drop resulting in me not able to receive any updates from any apps. I use whatsapp and messenger as my main form of communication, and I do not know when people message me as the data drops. As soon as I turn my screen on, the signal bar turns blue, and all my messages comes through.
I have tried reflashing several kernels and ROMS, but they all do the same thing.
Will wiping the SD card every time i flash a new ROM cause this issue? I have tried everything and nothing works.
Please heeelp
Thaanksss
Do you have battery saver turned on perhaps?. Sounds like its set to disable data while screen is off. Power menu in settings should sort you out

Thanks for your reply!
But there is nothing, no apps nothing. I just flashed the ROm and only installed whatsapp.
It still does that. The radio and mobile network works fine so it probably is not a hardware issue.
Battery saver is not an app, its a setting within the power menu, settings/power/power saver. You then have the option to to turn off various things when the phone sleeps. I'm on viperx 3.5.5 but most Roms will be similar to reach the battery saver settings

That is exactly my worry.
The way i flash is wipe sd card, then flash the kernel via fastboot then flash the ROM chosen.
Now i am not wiping SD card, just making a full wipe. Is there a way to fix this error? I locked and unlocked my bootloader, upgraded my hboot and it still doesnt work. What can i do :3
Don't flash the Kernel first sheesh !!
Do all neccessary wipes e.g. Cache/Dalvik
Flash the ROM.
Boot
Let it boot then back to recovery
Flash Kernel
Boot

Not sure if you've already tried this or not, but check this out
go to settings / data usage
flip your mobile data on / off
choose settings, enable Data Roaming, not to worry, your going to turn it off again right away
wait a few secs for it to 'take, then settings disable data roaming, now reboot the phone
hope this helps!

Why don't you try latest viperx, I'm using it and I know everything is working straight from flashing without having to change any settings. Maybe it can help with your camera problem too. If that doesn't help then only option really is back to stock and try get it changed or repaired under warranty and hope they don't notice that its been relocked. Sounds like you bought a bad one though if the camera and radio are faulty.

Did you mod/change anything?
There is a return to stock thread in the at&t General thread. It's really easy if you follow instructions. Might want to try that. It will put it back to stock and allow you to start fresh if the issue is software related
