Sometimes my Nexus starts OK but other times it gets to the lock screen and I can't get beyond it. I am rooted and unlocked. I have run the latest straight stock but have also loaded CleanRom and Slim Rom. I am currently on Slim. Regardless of the rom, I have inconsistent start-ups. Sometimes my 2013 Nexus (wifi only device) works fine but at other times it gets stuck at the lockscreen. Very annoying! It got a new motherboard about a year ago. This problem has been going on for at least 6 months. Any thoughts?

I got my 3rd, brand new Desire today.
The 1st one would get really hot and reboot on me when i played angry birds or movies or used the GPS. It stared out 3 months after i got the phone.
I had the 2nd lasted 2 weeks before the GPS just would not lock at all, no matter what i did. The GPS was dead. The phone also got very, very hot not long after opening google maps or gps status.
The new one, Desire the III shell be its name, also gets very hot when i use the gps or play games. How long will this one last
This one is also PVT4, the other where both PVT1. What does this mean? also how do i tell what screen i have?
UPDATE: 07/03/2011
so after trying almost every ROM and kernel for the Desire i have found that i still have issues with the phone. I can not use setcpu and, like my original desire, i have random reboots when using the GPS.
Setcpu
I can not install the app at all. As soon as its installed i have app crashes.
I am not trying to OC here. A few 100Mhz is not a great deal anyway and with most ROMs Quadrant scores around 1100-1250 at stock, what ever that means. I wanted to use setcpu to take the min clock down to 1xxMhz when the phone is not used to save battery.
GPS
Same as the 1st phone. It get very, very hot and randomly reboots. This can happen in as little as 3min or xxmin.
I have a brand new htc battery, came with the phone, and no gel/hard/cover.
Can i really be this unlucky

Do you have any case or cover on your phone that might causing heat to get trapped between the layers? Both soft and hard silicone cases can cause your phone to get overly hot. Also are you using a stock rom or a custom one? Since it may be the kernel or a overclocking tool causing the cpu to run faster and hotter than it should be, led to your phone rebooting when it gets too hot. On average how long does your phone last from full charge to dead, when not in use, could be a duff battery.
The more you use it the hotter it will get, this is normal. So long a it doesn't reboot you'll be fine

nope, had no cover/case/gel thing on the 1st two, only screen protectors.
i only found out about ROMs when i started to have the problem with the 1st one. It was stock standard for almost 5 months. I only began using a ROMs to underclock the CPU to see if that was the problem. Ran it at 600Mhz/700Mhz for 2 months before i had had enough and took it back to a vodafone store. With original RUU
The 2nd was only ROMed on the 3rd of march. I kept it stock 1st because i was studding and did not have time to play with ROMs and 2nd because i wanted to make sure it was working. So i just used the phone while running around normally.
The day before i started looking for a ROM i had issues getting a GPS lock. The following day i could not get the gps to work no matter what i did. So again turned to a ROM/Radio to see if it could solve the problem. No luck.
Had a go at Vodafone and they said because i had an issue within two weeks of getting the phone i could change it. Luckily a store near me had stock. So here i go again, round 3.
This phone is supposed to be for my sister I have a Desire HD

Although in the past you might have got a GPS signal inside, I can normally only ever get a GPS signal outside, and I mean outside. I have heard about lost of problems with the Desire and GPS. The new Desire that you have is the latest release. Also the Desire always get's hot, you could boil an egg on mine, however mine has never Re-Booted due to heat...

I always test the GPS outside/out doors for at least 20min.
Sounds like you got some really ****ty Desire's and a really run of bad luck. Luckily I have never had these issues at all. As for the PVT4 business and your screen, most likely you will have an SLCD screen and PVT4 I guess is the security for the hboot, just a guess like.
I've always thought that my Desire was really cool, like if it is just running with checking emails, using the phone, light stuff really, it never gets hot at all or what I consider hot (where you can tell the difference on the back of the phone). The only time it gets hot is when I play a game for a really long amount of time, but even still, it never gets as hot as when it's charging. I have overclocked my phone to 1190MHz and it is fine. Also my GPS is fine and works when ever, inside or out.
I guess I got a really lucky Desire or you guys are really unlucky?
I can relate to the GPS issues. When the GPS didn't reboot my phone, it took a good 15 minutes to lock.
Took it back. No smartphone for 3 weeks

I have just discovered I have this GPS reboot problem... For the first time on the weekend I decided to use the Google Maps GPS navigation. I bought a nice windscreen dock and everything...
First time it worked for about 3 minutes and then rebooted. From that point on I would only get a maximum of 30 seconds GPS navigation and then a reboot... I've tried everything I could find online about the problem including a full wipe but the problem remains...
So freakin' annoying! I guess it's going back to HTC....
Same problem here.
when using GPS for 1-xx.min the phone reboot.
Have tried every romes, radio, wipe all, formatet sdcard..
tried to caught the problem in LogCat.
I just cant find the problem!
it makes me crazy.
I think it's probably a temperature problem.
If I remove the battery and let the phone down for a while, navagitionen will work for about 10-20 minutes. if I open the navigation with the same after the reboot it will only works for 1 or 2 minutes.
OP, you are either a complete idiot and don't know how to use your phone or you are very unlucky. I think it may be the first option. I know at least 20 people with desires who have NEVER had a problem. Use it what it's meant for and stop ****ing with it.

Thanks for your awesome solution! You complete IDIOT! what a nice tone you choose to write in at this forum - really mature! start helping people instead of asuming the worst of them. This is NOT my first smartphone and I do in fact know how to use it. As a matter of fact I work with developing programs for phones and other microprocessing units, and have never heard of or experienced this problem before.
Instead of complaining why don't you start HELPING people!?
Same poblem here dudes but i csj live with it. I have seen Desires that restarts themselves when surfing on internet or when calling.

Hey guys!
I have a serious issue here!
In the middle of the day, out of nowhere the phone turn itself of; i never detected that moment; all i know is that when i pick up the phone i find it turned off.
At first that happened when i was still running the stock ROM 4.0.4 unrooted or anything. The phone was in my pocket so i said maybe i touched unintentionally the power button and i dropped it.
However the last 2 days i am running a custom ROM JB CM10 flashed cleanly completely!
I am suspecting that this is no software problem cuz i know with software issues i elk have mostly reboots and not shotdowns.
I suspect that this is a hardware issue, most probably a battery issue; since after i return the phone ON, i can see the battery at 20 or 30% lower than what it should be!
I have wiped battery stats (i know that maybe does nothing) and wiped cache and dalvick and still nothing!
Any ideas/help/suggestions are welcome guys!
Thank you!

I'm trying to get an Incredible 2 setup for my sister to use on Page Plus. I already installed CM10.2 from @chillybean on an INC2 for my mom and it has been running flawlessly for over a month.
I'm just getting around to setting up the second phone and it's giving problems. I've installed the same CM10.2 and it works great when the mobile radio is off and using wifi only. When the mobile radio is on, it reboots, but only when the screen is off and unplugged from the charger.
They both have the 0622 radio. I've used the script from chillybean to wipe.
Does anyone have any ideas?
These phone were purchased as new units from ebay. They looked new, but I'm not positive.
i'm running the same rom and I randomly get reboots as well. I've just learned to live with it.
Hi all: I have been posting in the CM11 ROM for this device but I figured I would post my issues here and see if anyone has any insight or experiences.
I was on CM11 for 4 days with stability, speed and life was great. Last night I randomly got a reboot when looking at twitter. Fine, no big deal. 2 minutes later it happened again. Odd. I went into the play store and then it froze. I had to research and found out how to reboot it. Once rebooted, it would restart again. So, I went into TWRP, wiped Everything and then refreshed the ROM. Within 1 minute it froze again.
I flashed Stock and sure enough it froze on me. Noe I am annoyed and went to bed and figured I would deal with it this am. I plugged it in last night under 10% battery. Woke up 8 hours later and its at 14%. 2 hours since and its now at 17%. Clearly something is wrong.
Full disclosure---i bought a best buy geek squad refurbished unit and have done so many times with tablets with no problems. I am still within my 45 day return window and will probably just exchange for a new one since the refurbished price is the same as it was. Sadly, I wish they would give me a new one for the black friday price.
Has anyone had such experiences or have a clue what went wrong? Thanks
How did you flash the ROM? Tell each steps on how you flashed it. Did you mess with the CPU clock speed or anything? Did you also have any battery problems readings before flashing? I did a dirty flash of cm11 in which led to problems later, so I'm now on stock rooted and still works fine with no freezes. Probably tarp crashed? Happened to me.
I rooted via odin. I them used twrp manager to get the recovery and did a total clean flash. Wiped everything including system. NO I did not have any battery issues nor did I mess with cpu clock speed ( don't even know how ). All I did was use xposed to try the mutliwindow solution and downloaded lux and a material theme. Nothing out of the ordinary I don't think.

Either the battery is bad or could be something with the software. The only time when mine reboots is when I use to Much ram and it freezes. Other than that no problems.
I plugged it into another outlet. The outlet I always use charges me iPad and note 4 without a problem. I left for an hour and sure enough I got home and the tablet was at 100%. Yay. I started downloading my apps and noticed while still plugged in, the battery was at 95%. Odd. I took out the charger and Bam, rebooted. Off to best buy.
Wow it restarted and now shows 7 percent. I'll let you know what bb says.

Similar experience
I had a similar experience with my 2012 Nexus 7,it turned out that the connections between the charging port, battery and device were all faulty. They weren't soldered together properly when the device was manufactured (not as rare a condition as we are lead to believe either, regardless of manufacturer). I was lucky the I was able to take the device apart to check the problem without leaving any evidence that I had opened it, and I was able to exchange it. So from my experience, that kind of error always appears to relate to some form of battery issue. Also had it happen to me with a Galaxy S4, however it wasn't anything to do with the device itself, it was damaged connections on the battery.
I recently observed that my Note 7 have heating up episodes and eventually freeze. I suspected beta apps but I did uninstall all of them. It kept heating up and freeze so I did a full system reset and installed about 2 to 3 apps and it started to heat and freeze again.
Lately I also observed that when I use the camera heavily the phone starts to heat up again and freeze.
My note 7 is due for replacement on October 15 and I still have to suffer these problems for 19 more days.
Any solution on what to do?
Yes, do what they suggested in the recall - power it off and do not use it.

That's exactly what happened to me. I did replace it with Note 4 until new Note 7 arrives here ( Egypt ).
I think its the battery starting to fry chips .... solution - wait to exchange! My new one is perfect now for over 2 weeks.

I too have been having the problems you described, intermittently, freezing mid use, getting warm etc, but it has spells where it gets much much worse.
The phone wouldnt boot, wouldnt go into recovery, would partially boot then freeze, would not "hard reset" would not go into recovery, all intermittently.
I couldnt do a factory reset (which i thought might help) as although i managed to get to recovery (after about 5 tries) it couldnt read any of the memory, maybe this is whats causing the exynos phones to lock up, memory errors?
My phone booted about twenty minutes after the photo was taken, and im writing this post on the phone i was having issues with without doing a factory reset (because it didnt work when i tried) but itll be back sure as day, and ill be very frustrated. I hope my replacement doesnt do the same.
I'm using a new note 7 now and let's see how it will go. I'll update you. According to the store my note 7 fried a few capacitors so when it overheats, it freezes.
