[Q] Phone allways restarts in silent and vibrate mode - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The last 2 weeks I had a lot of problems with my desire. First I flashed it again to get more space, by using the sc card. This time trying the CronMod script for CM7, which seems to be working.
But new I got another problem. No matter how the ringetone settings is, it allways start out as silent and on vibrate. I want it to remember the actual settings. I have tried to flash both CM7.1 and CM7.2 several times, but it doesn't help. The way solution I found until now, is to flash the stock rom, which I don't want because of the space problem.
Is this a bug or what, and is there anything I can do to overcome it, cause it's pretty annoying?

[Q] Desire reboots

Hi people!
My HTC Desire has a annoying problem, being that it reboots spontaneously.
Well, maybe not really spontaneously.
I believe that it reboots when I (should) receive a call or message, maybe also with push notifications, but that I don't know.
I tried but can't reproduce the problem by calling or texting myself with another phone. But I does happing when people call or text me, not always tho.
With 2G only of Wifi, I have not experienced the problem.
It began while being on MIUI (with a 3th latest radio or so/beta/nog directly after a update). Because MIUI began to irritate me with its speed and bug now and then, I wiped it all and flashed CM7.1 STABLE, incl latest radio, and installed my apps again.
Still reboots.
Flashed a way older radio. Still reboots.
Pretty important, it does NOT get hot.
Facts:
- 3G off, not experienced a problem
- when 3G off, sometimes no signal
- does not get hot
- different radio's, different roms
- slipt out of my hands and fell in a bath, got I out before it even hit the bottom. This happened two of three 2 days before the problems began
I read about HTC reboot problems on Vodafone NL a while ago.. I am on this network, but the posts are not recent..
I read about HTC Desire reboot problems while using the phone, after it's getting hot (2010 posts).
I did had reboots a few months earlier, but that was a bug on MIUI.
Anyone an idea what the problem is?
Make a complete backup and change rom. If problem persits, go back to stock. If desire still reboots, call HTC.

@OP Try a different ROM.. try both AOSP and Sense, if you still get the issue try return it to stock (RUU) and see if problem persists.. if it does then it's a hardware problem and call HTC.
Change rom

I was having reboot problems with LeeDroid. Installed Tristan202's kernel, fixed it right up.
Are you undervolting or overclocking? That can cause random reboots when the system can't distinguish the actual signals from the random noise and interference, wither because it's too fast (overclocked too high) or too weak (undervolted too low). Bump up the voltage and/or reduce the clock speed a little, and see if that helps.
I didn't do anything with the clockspeed or so. The max CPU frequency is adjustable in CM7, but left it on 998MHz. I'll try 1075 now?
The link to Leedroid is a froyo. But I like gingerbread. HTC even made a gingerbread rom (available on htc dev center).
And the phone had worked normally on gingerbread.
An other problem I had for a longer time.
Sometimes the phone only uploads and doesn't download (as I can see by watching the arrows). So I internet connection doesn't work then. Putting it on flightmode and back does solve the problem.
The tristan kernel:

I've got same problems. After rooting my HTC Desire and installing Revolution ROM, it has worked well for about 24h, then i was surprised with disappearing all my data (contacts, messages, settings, was needed to log in back to google, sync was off), so i set up everything again, after few hours of normal work, i noticed that i have to enter SIM card PIN code. ok, done. After few more hours SIM card PIN code again. So i reflashed with another custom ROM and phone started to reboot each time at SIM card pin code enter screen, or after finishing booting. Few minutes ago i tryed to reflash with another ROM, which i used to have few months ago and which was pretty stable (Reflex), and now im stuck at HTC boot logo
HBOOT 0.93
Radio 5.11.05.27
Use a RUU, make sure it's the right one for your phone or that you have a goldcard.
I would try Oxygen Rom, it happened to me in the past but it was fixed a bunch of releases back.
Hmm,. running on 1075Mhz now and no reboots since.. while being on 3G and receiving a few calls and (whatsapp) messages.
I don't want to bump into conclusions to fast, but at least it's remarkable.
Or my phone is dryed up.
(@random_factor?) IF the 1075Mhz setting is the solution, how is that possible??
And I just hit the trackball to enter my phone and tadaaaa: reboot
RUU Bravo flashed.. First flashed hboot stock. Still on alpharev bootloader and S-OFF, so if phones still reboots, I must not forget to flash the stock bootloader... hehe. I will post the results ofcourse of the stock rom ofcourse.
[EDIT]
Being on stock rom/radio, I just had another reboot. Guess it's safe to say it's a hardware problem..
1Ro try to install non-A2SD Rom. it'd worked for me.
Funkypotatoe, I've installed the RUU for my phone. So I'm on the original froyo with original radio, so no a2sd and I'm not using android's original apps2sd now.

yeah, call HTC and request a pickup, hopefully you'll get a Desire S
also make sure your bootloader is back to stock (did you flash the downgrader before you ran the RUU?) if you've just got everything stock after the RUU, apart from the bootloader (if you're still S-OFF), go to my guide and there's a section about still s-off after RUU, do the 2nd method since it's quicker and safer..... and if you're already S-ON just ignore everything I've said and call HTC
Yes I'm still S-OFF.
I've checked your guide: Nice work!
I in doubt of if I should send it to HTC, because of the water incident. There are little white strips in the phone and on the battery that turn red when in contact with water.
The strip on the battery is redish, just from wiping it with a 'wet' towel (there were here and there little drops of water). The visible strip in the phone is still white. Don't know if there are more strips inside the phone. I would suck if I send to phone for warranty, and get as a result: waterdamage, 35 euro research costs.

[Q] Wifi activation => Error

Hi there,
Just wanted your point of view regarding something really strange that happened to me yesterday.
(btw, I looked it up all over the forum + google but still unabale to find a proper answer)
So basically, I droped down my phone, which crashed on the floor but nothing really serious. Ever since, every time I try and turn on the wifi, it says "Error".
I've tried rebooting it several times and still get the issue.
Do you guys think the wifi chip could have been broken? Is there any report log I could find using terminal or root explorer?
Phone specs:
Virtuous Unity v1.29.0
Android 2.3.3
Phone rooted
Bluetooth does turn on
Thanks in advance for your help
Try flashing a different rom, back up your current one first, and check out if the wifi is working without restoring any apps.
Did you ever fix this? I did the exact same thing, dropped onto hard tile. Wifi error and couldn't read data partition.
Randomly after a day or 2 it fixed itself and was fine for 2 weeks.
BUT...just happened again today. I wiped caches, reflashed ARHD, fixed all permissions. Data partition became readable again (not sure which of those fixed that) but i still get "Wifi Error" when turning wifi on.
Any help/suggestions much appreciated.

[Q] IceColdSandwich 4.0.3 - 1.4.0 on Desire HD, phone keeps shutting down

Hi,
So yesterday i was walking the dog listening to some music when my phone just died. I booted it back up again, listened some more and it died again. When this happened i was running version 1.2.0 of said mod, so i decided to try the latest.
Seems like i have this issue there aswell Everytime my phone goes into lock it shuts down. Anyone have an idea what can cause this? my phone is almost a year and a half.
Update: Removed my memorycard and no problems so far, will try to format it and let you know.
Update 2: Formatted SD-card, seems to be working again now.
Update 3: Nope, its back again. Any ideas?
Thanks to everyone for any help on this

Try installing the test version of 1.4 and do a full wipe before that.
You should also try and flash any other ROM (maybe even stock) to make sure it's a ROM issue and not some HW fault on your phone.
Do we have any chance to have a 2wcr kernel for this great ROM?
I have the same 1-2 times per day after calling with
Virtuous Quattro RC3
so maybe a bug in ICS ?
Have been running without any force shutdowns for over 24hours now, so it might have been temporary for me atleast.
I got no problems so far with ICS on DHD, flashing from 1.2.0 to 1.4.0 without full wipe. I think different phones get different issus with same ROM. Maybe the installed apps are a reason for that.
I had that bug, but I was running Gingerbread at the time. The problem worked itself out, around the same time I upgraded the SD card. That might be a cause, maybe re-seat the sd card? Might be loose or something along those lines.
I'm running 1.5.0 and mine keeps saying no network and keeps rebooting itself????

[Q] Massive time drifts, any ROM.

First of all, hello everyone.
Few days ago I bought used htc Desire phone. In the next day I noticed that my clock drifts off the real time.
It takes 68 seconds for a minute to pass and it realy pisses me off, since I've missed so many classes in past few days because of that.
I've flashed numerous ROM's and nothing changed. I've been trying with 2.2.2 stock, 2.3.3 stock, Mildwild based on oxygen, Runnymede AIO, Runny RSK, some ICS roms etc,etc,etc. Every damn time that happens.
Before every flashing I perform full wipe and wipe dalvik cache. I even falshed stock hboot to CM7r2 in hopes it would change something. The only solution is app ClockSync but since i'm not on Data plan I can use it only when I'm home.
Is there anything I could change in software of whatever to make it count correctly? Also I tried TimeZone Fixer but nothing...
ATM I have installed official CM 7.1
very very strange behaviour
hboot will have nothing to do with time...only modifies partition spaces. it's strange that it's occurring on any rom, which makes me think it's something to do with phone's internal clock.
there should be an option in settings-> date and time-> automatic
make sure the automatic option is checked, it should poll the network provided value, don't think it uses any data?
I've checked, unchecked it and it doesn't change the time at all. Is it possible to change phones "Automatic time" source?
Don't think you can change the source as it's from your network provider. Only thing I can suggest is to reboot after you've re-selected that option.
I don't want to sound dismissive, but you could use a proper watch and alarm clock if this strange problem persists. The solution is not always within the phone

Weird Stutter/Lag on lolipop

Okay so, first off, I'm not much of a noob in flashing ROMS and tools, I've had a bit of experience with a Samsung Infuse before, now I got this Note 2 and TouchWiz pissed me off, of course, now I need a lolipop ROM, I used ODIN to root and install TWRP recovery, also flashed a 5.1.1 "RESSURECTION" ROM, tried CM12 too, now the thing is, I'm getting a weird lag, this lag occurs randomly, lasts 2-3 seconds, followed up with a weird vibration, yes the vibrator vibrates the fone whenever this lag occurs... Now I tried a lot of stuff, except unlocking the bootloader because I'm not sure if it'll fix it or not, also after a while I noticed that it didn't detect my SIM card, could it be that my phone is refurbished? Everything else works ok but the lag makes it unusable.. The lag occurs on both CM12 and the other ROM so I don't think it's because of the ROM.. I'll revert to stock Kitkat using ODIN, but I really need to fix this. I tried Google for solutions but I can't seem to find anyone else having the same problem... So please help me out here mates
