HELP! My phone gets hot and restarts! Please look for more info inside!

Hello dear friends!
HTC let me down Kind of stupid phones indeed at least desire...
I have my phone for quite a time now, it is rooted with unrewoked, clockwork recovery and s-on. I flashed many different roms in the past and everything was brilliant. In a pas half-a-year or so I stayed with only one ROM - MIUI-Au. I kept updating it to the newer versions and so on and on. Never had any random reboot or something. At least maybe it was because of some strange app or something else. But now it started to reboot randomly and constantly!
Phone gets hot abit and it just reboots, and never comes to android homescreen again, until I put out the battery, hold it for few minutes, pop it back and then it boots. But as soon as start to play music, or run a game the phone gets hot abit and reboots again. and so on and on. I thought maybe it was a miui issue. So I tried to flash different roms, but guess what? None of the even boot! The main screen shows and with the same second it bootloops again and forever!... (
Even from recovery it sometimes reboots randomly. So i managed somehow to flash my miui back and it at least boots. But it is very unstable now, I barely can use my phone now
PLEASE WHO CAN HELP ME????
My warranty probably out of date, and my phone is rooted, I dont think HTC would accept it...
any thoughts? friends?

What have you set the CPU max to?

Thank you for response! Appreciate, really!! I didn't set it, I left everything by default I think! Because as i said, i even tried flashing different roms, not only miui.
What else could be? By the way, with stock froyo rom If I remember correctly, sometimes it became extremely hot, but I didnt get any reboots from that. But now, it gets just a little bit hot and it seems that this causes the reboot...

Now what I just noticed, I get reboots even when the phone is idle. And it is not even warm!

If its not getting hot then I'm confused lol. It sounds like a actual hardware fault. Sorry I can't help with this one

try and get it taken back to stock if you dare.
The phone hasn't been out 2 years yet, which is how long the warranty is.

Thank you! But is there any possibility to fix it without HTC involvement? Maybe it is not hardware issue ? Can it be because phone is rooted and I flashed many roms to it ? I didnt try AOSP roms since reboots started, I will try to pop in Cyanogenmod or other and see if I will get reboots.
Would rerooting my phone and updating my recovery fix the problem?
and Note: yesterday I tried to S-OFF my phone, but I can't even do that with my unstable MIUI. It rebooted in the middle of the process..

I had a similar problem, apparently it's not uncommon on the early revisions. I sent mine to HTC and they replaced the mainboard.

Thank you for answer! But what if my phone is bought through a contractor?
Can just call HTC and ask the for repair? Or should I contact my contractor first ?

Just give them a call and they will try to help you out. I had a very good customer service experience with them when my desire had some issues.
They will require a proof of purchase though. If you managed to get the receipt from your "contractor" (I am unsure what you mean by a contractor), then there should be no problem.

Sorry for misleading word, I meant T-Mobile. I bought my phone under contract. I think I have a receipt. I even have whole box and stuff of the phone somewhere in my drawer.(just sayin ). So how is customer service of HTC? Poor, good ? I heard you need to tell them that you did a factory reset and that didn't help. Is that true. Also if I will unroot my phone, will they know it was rooted anyhow?
Ahhh....this overheating issue seems common. How they can release faulty phones?? No clue.
thanks for answers mates!

In Singapore, HTC service is really good. Phone was still under warranty.
It took me just one (real) call to confirm a repair order. The first call I was just checking to see what options were available to me.
The second call was an actual repair request. And the third call was me pestering them for a pickup date. heehee
In Singapore, repairs were done via courier. They picked it up and 1 working day later, they sent it back.
Naturally, you will probably need to impress upon them that you tried everything to fix your phone (which I hope you did which includes proving to yourself that it's not the ROMs fault).
You will definitely need to reset everything back to zero. In my case, I downloaded an RUU to totally reset everything back to STOCK, which included removing clockworkmod recovery. You WILL need to create a goldcard for this though so bear in mind that it's not exactly a case of a simple flashing procedure. At least not if you don't already have a goldcard.

Sorry if I overread it at some point, but you speculated at the beginning there could be some faulty app causing this, but you never meantioned performing a full wipe. Have you full wiped yet? Just to make sure it is indeed no software problem.
greets

Thank you for your answers. At the moment I have SuperNova classic ROM. ( 2.3.3 + Sense 2.1) But my phone crashes again and again, it is so annoying and causes me so much trouble.
I never tried a reset or unroot and return to original rom. Im just wondering now, would this help to remove or at least remove those reboots?
Today I was in my work and i was keeping my phone in my jeans pocket. it got hot as u would expect when keeping in pocket and suddenly it rebooten, then it went into a bootloop and started to bootloop 7 times in a row quickly. then again and again. It became very hot at that time.
For the interest, what exact hardware faults causes these reboots and why phone gets even hotter if you keep it on boot loop. If I keep phone cold, the rom usualy stays normal, without reboots. but as soon as I start using my phone, texting or calling for at least 5minutes of using it just reboots.
as I said- really annoying thing :S
I remember my happy times with miui, apps and no reboots Was fun!
cheers for helping!

I would give full wipe / factory reset a chance, and maybe RUU.
At least try it before sending phone to htc.

It is hardware problem, search forum. Fresh ROM without SD card, enabled WIFI and GPS, running G navigation, back of the phone is warm - restart after few minutes.
Maybe someone know how to read info form the phone right before reset? We could understand why the phone is reseting and hopefully add some patch.

Reboot-loop experience
Hey,
i had the same problem over the last few months: In the beginning my phone restarted only when it got hot, but it got worse over the last few weeks, in the end i was not able to use two apps at the same time (music and mytracks) or even to surf the internet longer than a few minutes. The problem did noticeably decrease when the phone was cool - tested by putting it on a fan or in the fridge. Yet, Skype was regularly killing it. As i really love my phone (and especially the AMOLED-Screen!) i did not want to resign. The battery cover contains some metal which is supposed to enhance heat dissipation - so i attached a little thermal pad to the hotter bottom of the phone to improve contact with the head spreader. Unfortunately it did not entirely fix the problem. Yes, it improved the situation a little, but it got even worse after a week or two - in the end i had to turn it in.
So i decided to take it to the Telekom-Shop. They were very kind and told me they would call the other day to confirm that the replacement would have been shipped. It took a few days longer, but i got a phone with the AMOLED-Screen! The employee said it was a used mainboard in a new case, completely refurbished. They only replaced the main unit, i kept the battery, sd-card, charger and so on. Now i have a working Desire again!

Similar?
Hi i on the other hand have similar problem, qiute anoying one, my desire, cm7 hboot, s-off, insert coin cm7 rom, have phone freezing in diferent situations, sometimes its working sometimes just freezez and i need to get battery out and turn it one and sometimes several times in row to get it working again???? RUU and go to give phone in service? plaese advice?

For those who have problems with GPS on HTC ONE X i make a tutorial how to fix this.
This method work perfectly for me,and for other users.
If you are not scare to open your phone fallow this steps like in tutorial.
Method 1
1: open your phone to reveal what is inside
2: pull up those connectors shown in photo
3: close back
4: everifing is fix
Method 2
Instead of pulling up thouse pin ,use a soldering iron and put some soldering on the spot where pins touch the antena .
THIS WORKS BECOUSE AFTER THAT THE CONNECTOR APLY MORE PRESURE TO ANTENA AND NOW THE CIRCUIT IS COMPLETE
Hope this will fix all your problem with GPS, WIFI, Signal
PLEASE GIVE CREDIT IF THAT HELP YOU TWO!!
Link with tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfH48nbCFE4&feature=plcp
I will put a link here that will show you how to open your phone corectly.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jZ-nelmWAI in this is open only with hands
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-vdrbiBePA&feature=related here is open with right tolls

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
I will attach a few screen shots with GPS test results after i fix the antena.
I will mentioned the sky was clowdly and it was raining
I m not responsible if anything happens with your personal phone
This method worked perfectely for me

Excellent - this is the only thing that actually fixes this hardware issue.
I follwed your tutorial. Bought a pack of 5 plectrums off EBay for 99p to open the HOX like you did in the video.
Best 99p ever spent.
A lot better than sending phone away for 2 weeks only to hope it may be fixed.
Took 5 minutes, did it myself and don't lose all your data like you do sending it to HTC.

As I mentioned in another post, I had given up hope on my GPS, but didn't want to send off my One X due to root, custom ROM and stories of long waits without the phone actually being fixed.
This fix worked perfectly for me.
If you are having GPS problems and have the nerve, I suggest you try this.
Gabrielvl, thanks again.

Didn't really notice a difference for me (HTC One X Intl) and on top of that, i broke a wifi pin and damaged a network pin....
All seems to be working (GPS is still a bit weird), does anyone know if wifi will work properly on one pin and network on a slightly damaged pin?

You can try to soldering a wire from brocken pin to antena. If u can do that your problem will be fix. I know for sure becouse a friend happening the same like you and he fix with a wire

I dont have a soldering iron and i'm not gonna buy one just for a pin. I havent noticed any wifi problems, I still connect to 2.4GHz and 5Ghz and speed is still the same and with the network, its on 1 or 2 bars but i am inside and it usually is on that anyway and the GPS is not fixed, if anything, worse. But again, i am inside.

If it would work properly on one pin, thew would only have one pin to start with.

Soldering wires is not a good solution, they will act as antennae, which are a specific length tuned to the desired frequency.

Outside the gps was pretty good, the wifi is only one one pin and i notice no difference. GPS gets about 20 inside (used to be about 25-30) and outside i get about 35-40 (same).

OH GOD GUYS PLEASE STOP this is the same thing that I saw back in the Desire HD forums, and it ended poorly for pretty much everyone.
Do NOT try this unless you are out of warranty, the GPS antenna connectors are VERY thin and VERY weak, and it is VERY easy to SNAP them!

You are right..,is not a easy job to do. I manage to do that becouse i have some experience with hardware,and i know wend to STOP ,not pulling to much...

ONE MORE TIME TRY NOT TO BROKE ANYTHING

Hello,
i registered to this forum to thank you.
My GPS what not working at all from months. I did exactly what you descibe and it's now OK.
I must warn everibody because opening (and reclosing) a HTC One X is very touchy. So do it only with experience. At a moment i was thinking i would have to buy a new HTC but a manage to reclose it properly.
Bye !

[Q] Plz Help Guys

Hello Guys,
I dropped my phone in the washer for less than a minute and its screwed right now ! I kinda got it working ! The screen turns on and i can get into the recovery. But it doesn't boot up to the ROM. I am on VIPER ROM. I have already tried resetting the device. I re-flashed the ROM as well without any errors. But the phone doesn't go past the loading screen .
I am extremely dissapointed and i cannot afford a new toy. I cannot send it to HTC, the watermark damage is already done. I have opened up the device, cleaned all the contact ribbons or flex cable as well. Still the same problem. Please advice guys ! Is the mother board broken ? it doesnt make sense cause the ROM installs fine. I did plug it into the computer in recovery and got all my data out. Yes i am SOFF as well. What are my options here guys .
Best Regards
Mathew

First of all stop using it and then turn it off for a week

Backup everything via nandroid and flash a stock ROM.

I'd agree to return to stock (RUU if one is available for your version) and if the phone still doesn't boot, you probably have a hardware failure.

LoL ! its pretty clean inside too, i used a good amount of detergent and fabric softner as well. At least it smells good.
anyways, i wiped the whole system, has just the TWRP, i am trying to find a RUU and stock recovery. Hopefully that should fix it all
I will report soon
Matt

RUU Didnt fix it
Hey guys,
I waited over a month, tried everything, RUU etc, etc... Still not working. If i Install a new ROM, it says everything is installed, but stays in the boot screen till the battery dies ! Any help ?
Thanks

Did the RUU actually install completely, or any errors? What was the result when trying to restart after RUU install?
Some folks have had varying results with smartphones damaged by water, by taking them apart and cleaning contacts carefully with isopropyl alcohol or similar products. But its very possible the issue is cause by corrosion in a location you won't be able to access.

Hey !
Thanks for the reply, I never got any errors with installing the RUU ! or anything i install from the fastboot goes very well. No issues at all. But once i reboot to the software, it just stays in the bootscreen. My phone was the sense version, after trying multiple RUU i decided to go to dev edition, and it installed no problem ! i could see the google edition logo and everything
Now regarding corrosion, I had taken the device apart and cleaned it a month ago with iso alcohol ! The only thing i noticed was a slight corrosion on the flex cable contact, which i promptly cleaned. The flex cable was the top right hand side on the motherboard !
Thanks
Matt

If RUUs install but don't boot, I have to conclude its a hardware failure caused by the water damage.
Since you've dried it out and cleaned with alcohol, I don't think there is much else that can be done.

Hey !
I am afraid so, so much money spent on this phone! My first and best HTC phone i had to date ! I am on Note 4 now, not bad but i really miss swiping feature to open custom app while on sleep ! That was probably the best invention ever for customization. Its like i need this app right now, i just swipe the screen this way and i am in the app ! If i can get another HTC m8 for under 150 i am game lol

but the first sms is not working (it's not showing on the screen at all. only the second sms)
also, the wifi is not working (wifi software in the system doesn't detect anything)
any suggestions to repair the phone ??
sorry for the langauge, i know it's bad

about the wifi , what is to be done ?? replace something to get it working ? (like what ? )
the wifi seems like a lagging in the software (it shows white screen when i open wifi to search for access points) .. would it work if i reset the system software ??

After water damage there's high odds you need to replace the total MoBo to get it fully functional again which would be a very costly repair in the HTC One M8. Might not even be worth it. You could try it yourself, but good luck getting a motherboard from somewhere. It's a scavenger hunt for these.
Protip: Don't take your freaking flagship phone with you to the shower. I wouldn't see why anybody would ever do that.

Yes, but let's face it: it's obvious the HTC One M8 is NOT waterproof. Saying it's not a smart move taking this phone to the bathroom is an euphemism. You should never have to say: if only I hadn't.. cuz then it's too late.

Screen fades to black/Flickering (Issue)

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere but i haven't found it. Has anyone had this issue where your phone turns on and it just fades to black? I've found a few people online have this problem. I had to send my phone back and just got a replacement yesterday. It seemed to work fine for a few hours. Then i went ahead and rooted it and the problem came back to this new model they sent me. I wonder if it's a DPI or motherboard issue when you root. I have read that it is a batter issue. Another person says it's the motherboard. And another even says it's the screen that need replacing.

Mothernoard and LCD. I'm guarantee this for You. I had the same problem with lcd, but it was broken. But i had almost the same symptoms mate. So, probably you'd buy a secondhand G3. Maybe ... I dunno right now how much will cost you a new mother board with the LCD. I'm really sorry mate ? ? Take care ??

Hey, I had a similar issue then I disassembled the device and checked the connectors, board and other components, then I procceded to only reassemble the device and it now works perfectly! I believe it was bad connection maybe caused by dropping (guilty lol)

No need to call LG company
No need to replace any part of your smartphone
No need to pay for anything

I find this implausible. It is most certainly a hardware issue. Software cannot fix a physical hardware (overheating) problem, although it can manage power more efficiently.
What tests did you perform before and after in order to fix the problem on the device to which you refer?

If it's not software related then it is probably a ribbon cable/connector issue...which would help explain why people are seeing recurring failures after replacing LCD's and motherboards.
I followed this youtube video and it fixed my friend's flickering LCD...it took about 15 minutes total and cost $0... http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/lg-g3-screen-fading-flickering-fix-t3326092
If it doesn't work the 1st time you may have to add some thickness to whatever you put on top of the camera connector. I just used a rolled up label from work and stuck it on top of the camera connector, reassembled the phone, and it's been working fine for about 3 weeks now.
Good luck

Solution for fading and flickering
I found a Solution for the flickerinv issue, you don't have to put something between the cam connector and the case.
1. Open the phone
2. Remove Motherboard
3. Search for a hairdryer
4. Blow hot air on the whole Motherboard until it heats up and you can't touch it.
5. There's a chip which doesn't sit on the Motherboard correctly, heating up fix this.
I don't take any response for demaged Motherbard or so on.
Sry for grammatical mistakes, I'm a german guy. :*

I spent days of googling and there are only temporary solutions for this problem.
After testing my phone for 2 days in different conditions I realised that the screen is going crazy when the light is changing too much.
If you do a sensor calibration everything will go back to normal:
-enter in Hidden Menu (model dependent)
-select Device Test
-select MT
-OK to restart the device
-OK and do not touch the screen for few seconds
-go to Individual Items+Power (you must push power button when you select this item)
-select Sensor Test and take care to not block the proximity sensor when you make the selection
-you will be instructed to cover the sensor (usuallyy twice)
-go down to Backto the Main List
-select Normal Boot+power (again you must push the power button to make the selection)
The phone will be restarted and you will have a working phone (I have 8 days without any screen issue)

So, let me get this straight,
The problem with the G3's screen fading is a hardware issue related to the CPU/GPU. The fact that someone puts a paper on the camera connector and it works is due to the fact that the tension applied to the motherboard flexes it and it makes the BGA balls re-connect. The only way to fix it is to heat it up gradually ( I've used a professional Bosch Hot Air gun and some special paste ) and before reassebly, to put a metal plate with some thermal paste between the CPU and the metal case. This way the CPU won't overheat that bad, and it will be pressed into the motherboard, minimising the risk of this to reappear.
For any other questions contact me anytime.

Thank you for your instructions - surprisingly it worked. You missed a step - the menu should be ELT test after getting into hidden menu.

Did this and now have an insecure boot error, going to give a fresh kdz install a go

I followed the baking instructions and the phone seems to be working again. At 375F (solder melting point) for 7 minutes. Then I let it cool in the oven for 30 minutes before reassembling the phone. Seems to be working.

Maybe, Maybe not
I started messing around with the settings, and since my phone, right now, doesn't have service, I turned data off. Where the screen would eventually fade to black, and became unresponsive, It would darken a little bit, then snap back. I said hey, why don't I get a cpu app(I used setcpu). I lowered the speed to a little over 1900, made sure it was using ondemand(using noop), turned off automatic brightness(set it to 61%), and rebooted. So far no flickering, fade to black, unresponsive touchscreen, with no touch, installed greenify. I'm gonna let it charge, and see about the battery life(thank goodness I installed greenify). Yes the phone's rooted, and twrp is installed, and xposed is in, but never changed roms, just stock. When I get a carrier for it, and it does it again, then there maybe something there.

Hi all,
I had issues after I acedentilly fried mine using maps, spotify and wireless charging when driving with it in direct sunlight. I didn't realise until I nearly burnt myself picking it up. A few hours later it started flickering and fading off suggesting to is an issue either caused or effected by overheating.
Anyway i took it apart and baked the motherboard at 175C for 8 minutesminutes and it worked flawlessly for 3 weeks until it overheated agian. Did it at 200C for 9 minutes this time and its fine, see how it lasts and maybe get some thermal paste and make some adjustments to keep it cool
