Alright, so I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I was at a track meet yesterday and had a friend record a video of my race. When I got home, I turned on my phone and I got the boot, but then just a black backlit screen. I tried leaving it on overnight, wiping the cache, but no dice. I have a backup available from 4/23 but will it erase my video that my friend took yesterday?

No because the video should be stored in your SD card. You'll be fine.

Great, I restored it and my video is still there. Thanks.
No problem. Happy to help.

After being on a few websites, I found a few people saying that this problem seemed to be hardware related, however I now know this is not true, as a hard-reset has managed to get functionality back again.
Anyway, I was taking pictures on my phone today, and I've only had it for two days. I took about 7 pictures with the flash on, and the saturation edited a little bit to give my pictures more colour, ect. Anyway on the 8th photo or however many it was my phone decided to turn off. This only happened if the flash was turned on, however if I went into the flashlight application the LED's worked fine... The only way to fix was by doing a hard-reset + the phone wouldn't turn on unless I removed the battery. As of now, my camera is working fine, but if this happens again, what should I do?
I heard of that. It seems to happen sometimes when the battery is low. Try charging your battery and see if this happens again

Ah, thanks. At the time u was suffering from a low battery, and I was out on the country roads about 20 miles away from my house, that's a big help because if it happens again I know not to reset my phone. Thanks mate.

OMW the drama of that title.
I was expecting a Bollywood script. Damn it, i want my money back
i had exatly the same problem on my desire hd with leedroid on.
i would take a photo, the first couple would be ok then bam the phone was off. to restart the battery would have to be removed. i cleared dalvik, etc and eventually reflashed with no change.
i gave up then all of a sudden i was getting sdcard unextpected eject on mp3 playback.....
this kept happening so i put the card into my pc and ran scan disk, no probs.....
i then decided to put my other 16gb card in and put that card into my archos a5a. when copying over i noticed the proccedure would freeze, then all of a sudden my open disk would show up. the card works fine when cool but as soon as fast moving data and lots of it (8mp pics for example) it would fail.
im currently waiting for a rma on that card as i have noticed it has a five year warrenty (pny) - could this be your problem?
Hey. Can someone please help me figure out why my phone reset itself, and if it is recoverable (doubt it but thought I'd ask)? I'm running Swagged Out Stock 1.9.0.2 (with all the features), and I had some problems with getting stuck on the boot screen, so I planned to swap in CM7 just to see how it compared. I guess my phone knew my plan... was planning on the swap today. The battery died late last night and I didn't bother to plug it in. So I wake up this morning and plug it in, turn it on... ALL my data is gone! My contacts, text messages, app data, everything. It was like I just fresh installed SOS.
Why would the /data partition be wiped? Is there a possibility that the phone got confused and is ignoring any data I have in /data, is it possible to check and recover? I doubt it but I thought I'd ask! I installed this ROM on the 19th so I have a backup from then, so I only lost 2 weeks of messages, but still, I'd like those 2 weeks back if possible!

Hello, I don't think theirs a way to recovery that if you didn't have a backup of it. And as to why that happened I'm not sure, It's never happened to me and mines has died completely a couple of times. As to what you should do now is just restore that 2 week old backup its not that bad of a lost. From now on always make sure to make a backup more often. =\

Hi all!
Since a couple of days my HTC DHD has been freezing up. Most of times it happens when i take it out of sleep mode. The bottom buttons (home, menu, back and search) do light up, but the phone doesn't respond at all. Sometimes this also happens when using the phone. The screen moves slowely, like a frame every couple of seconds before it freezes up completely. Only way to get it back on is taking out the battery and put it back in. I have installed Cyanogenmod 7.2 about a week and a half ago so i thought the problem might lie there but i switched back to Cyanogenmod 7.0 (which i have been using for the past 6 months or so without any problem at all) and the device still freezes up. This happens twice of more every day! I have wiped everything and updated all my apps and the problem still occurs. I'm really clueless on how to solve this problem.
I can provide a logcat but i have never used that before so i'm not sure on how to do this. Even then, how can i make a logcat when the device freezes up and i need to take out the battery?
Any help would be much much appreciated!!
Thanks!
Did you do a full wipe; all caches, Dalvik e.t.c

The best way to get a logcat is using adb and perhaps a terminal emulator.
Try using the phone without the sd card to see if the problem persists.

Thanks for your replies! Sorry for the late response but had to install SDK and get it up and running.
@ GuyInTheCorner, Yes did all that except for a full wipe. Don't want to loose all my data.
@ Teichopsia, Ok did what you said and i have Logcat running now. Just tested it and it seems to be working. It's huge tho with only a couple of seconds running! Now i have to wait for the device to freeze up again and i can get to my computer while it doing it. As soon as that happens i will make a logcat and post it here.
Thanks for you help so far!
You've changed roms without full wiping? Try it without the sd card to see if there is something in the sd card causing the problem. However, you will probably need to full wipe. If after the full wipe problem persists, check without the sd card, if so, wipe the sd card.
The logcat will help figure where the problem is, but I don't know how to read one.

Meh, chalk one up for you
I agree with Teichopsia, do a FULL WIPE without SD Card to see what happens and take it from there

Ok, so it took a while but my DHD finally froze up again while i had acces to a computer. So i did a logcat. Results are in the Logcat.txt file. I hope anyone out there can read it and figure out what the problem is. Many thanks in advance!!
I started a thread for a similar problem ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734707 ) but the behaviour you describe is identical to what was going on with my DHD.
Try disabling Wifi and see if it stalls up on you - Mine runs great so long as Wifi is turned off. With it turned on I get random freezes, and the screen not turning on with the backlit buttons lit. Removal of the battery is about the only way to get it to respond again.
I tried changing ROMs, kernels, recoveries, radios and bootloaders with varying results but nothing seemed to fix it.
I ALWAYS full wipe and clear any files relating to the previous ROM off the SD card when changing ROMs.
On 2.2 ROMs Wifi would just turn itself on and off, the phone would not freeze though. Wifi was mostly un-usable as data didn't seem to transfer 80% of the time that it was turned on.
On 2.3.x ROMs Wifi started out doing the same thing as on Froyo, but after about a week it started to freeze the phone and would not return from sleep.
On 4..0.x ROMs Wifi would generally cause a complete freeze of the phone almost as soon as it was turned on.
I hope you find a solution. Mine is the 24 month warranty.

Thanks a lot for your quick and thorough reply.

Sounds exactly like my problem. I see you have done way more research on this problem then me looking at the thread you started. So i guess the problem lies in the WIFI hardware then. If so, i could send it back for repairs. I also have 24 months warranty. Problem i have, my device fell into a bucket of water when i had it just 3 weeks (about 16 months ago) It never gave me any problems tho! Worked just fine until now. All my warranty labels turned red. I could pull them out and replace them of course. Or tell HTC that it got wet during rain and it was in my pocket. But that wouldn't be honest now would it. A friend of mine has a DHD as well but he tells me he never has this problem which makes me guess the problem only occurs with some builds of the device.
I have been using my WIFI a lot lately for tethering on my laptop. So i will try your solution of turning WIFI off first and just see what happens. Also i will go back to stock rom when ICS becomes available. See what happens ten.
For now thanks a lot Max-E-Moose for your help. I will update this thread if something occurs or i find a solution. :good:
Did u check for apps installed on sd. Try moving them on phone memory if u have space. That can help

Nope didn't try that. I just ordered a new Samsung 32gb class 10 SD card. Should arrive tomorrow. Will try that first. Maybe it helps.
Thanks anyway.
Any luck ONeils? Updatey?
Due to where I am situated, I have not had the opportunity to bring my phone in yet so am still using mobile data almost all of the time.
I didn't mention before, because I forgot about it, but have you tried using WiFix Manager from the market? I read in another thread that this solved a similar problem for some people.
I think the process is: install WiFix, install the fix from the app, then restart the phone. It should be that simple, if it works - it does nothing for my poor DHD.
Currently using JellyTime Beta 7 and I have noticed that I can turn my WiFi on, and use it for a while, but if I forget to turn it off then the phone doesn't want to wake up once the screen turns off. Wifi hasn't froze the phone entirely on this ROM... Yet.
The phone app is screwing with my phone, whenever i make a call and then hang up after the call has ended the screen refuses to turn off no matter what i do and the only way to get it to work is to restart the phone.
I have tried everything from installing modified APK files to fixing permissions and wiping dalvik cache nothing is working. The screen and capsative button are still on as i write this message. Its not a setting i have set because if i use the phone without making a call the phone goes to sleep after 30 seconds and I have repeated this 30 times testing with different apk. IT IS THE PHONE APK, mainly the the in-call screen (Add Call, End , Keypad screen) that causes it.
EDITR:
Post 6 has the answer, if anyone else runs into this.

dont want to wipe
guys please i spend almost the entire day on this. IT ANNOYING ME SO MUCH.
I wiped and installed stock using odin and still happened, reset and wiped everything and it was finally fixed. Rebooted and reconfigued everything and it was fine everything was working like i wanted tested by calling a 100 times after lots of reboots and it was working.
I was like now i have finally fixed it its tine to do a CWM backup using official 6.0.1.2
Rebooted and after a few minute i noticed the screen was doing the same thing, I don't know what else to do. It seems like it happened right after CWM backup, I don't get how that is possible?

Yes, OMG wasted the entire day and after everything it was one of Samsungs own products :crying:.
SAMSUNG DRIVE LINK YES IT WAS DRIVE LINK, so angry that I tried everything and it was a Samsung app, The funny thing is the app was never once opened during this entire time of reboots and reloads all that work for nothing.
Made a call used the end call button and the LED light on the buttons were on and the screen would not turn off, let it for a good 5 minutes with smart stay disabled. Uninstalled Drive Link and immediately noticed the LED light turned off and the screen finally dimed and turned off. Tested a few times and was finally working. Installed Drive Link again and then made another call and yup you gust it screen refused to turn itself off.
Drive Link Officially UNINSTALLED.
Hi everyone,
I updated my phone to marshmellow about a month or 2 ago. Things seemed fine, was running ok and never had a issue really.
Then on Saturday whilst in whatsapp the phone went dead and rebooted and started showing the optimizing apps screen. When finished it would then reboot and sit on the logo and eventualyl back to optimizing apps. It did this for over 24 hours whilst plugged in.
I then download the EU marshmellow rom for the D855 G3 from a link here, flashed that and reinsatlled everything and even felt it was running much better. Was playing spotify, pressed pause and when I came back to phone it was basically dead. Power cycled it and same story again, optimizing apps/reboot loop.
It's now reset again and running off network and just spotify and mx vide play on it as entertainment device to work/back. And the Cubot P9 which was a temp phone is about to get thrown at a wall as it's a terrible phone but served it's purpose many times.
Anyone experienced this before? is the cache faulty/memory or something and this is causing it to loose data/config and go into this eternal loop?
Thanks in advance.
This happens because UUID apps conflict, you need to uninstall all (only your apps), wipe data/factory reset, reboot, and reinstall one by one agaib patiently...
Someday i learned this...

Interesting, perhaps if I would out what I installed in the last week I might be able to work it out?
What is interesting is I setup my gmail account and didnt install apps and it's been all day. I think the last app I installed was Amazon Fire TV and then it went the following day?
So ranthe phone the entire of yesterday with only spotify and mx video installed and airplane to see if ok. Then after Dethful's recomendation I installed only what I need and moved sim back to phone.
Phone still running ok now. Hopefully it's good to go. Holding out for a daydream phone and anything with SnapDragon 821 or better so almost bought a Samsung A5 or LeTV/Elephone 1080p to tie me over. Relived phone might be fine.
