Hi guys,
Until today, I was more than happy with my Raphael, and all of the sudden, it started crashing in the middle of all calls!
What I've tried already:
* Turned it off
* Removed the battery & memory card
* Soft reset
It keeps happening!!! I don't want to do a hard reset, since I'm on a business trip and my backup is on another computer...
Do you see any other choice before the hard reset?
(I need to be honest, and tell you that I haven't looked in the rest of the threads, I'm in Buenos Aires airport with low battery issues...)
Thanks a lot in advance!

I have, in the past, been able to take out the battery and sim card on my XDA II to swap between them (Phone unlocked). However, the other day, whilst watching a video in Windows Media player, it decided to hard reset itself! This wasn't much of a problem as I could restore straight away, but that night when I came to switching my sim cards around It started up from scratch again, losing all my settings and programs. Does this happen to many others? Because I swear I should be able to remove battery/sim without having the system reinstall.
Thanks in advance
i would make 100% sure that all programs you can close are closed
and put the phone in flightmode before switchen the sim
Thanks bud, will try that next time!
Has anyone experienced their TP crashing during normal operation, and found the only way to recover is through a hard reset?
That's what happened to me last night. I'm running a stock HTC ROM that I upgraded when it came out (two weeks ago?) and the device was working without any problems up until then.
Last night though I was using Opera to browse a website and it suddenly became unstable. I closed Opera and found it wouldn't re-start so I performed a soft-reset. From this point on the device wouldn't go past the boot screen (displaying 'HTC Touch Pro' with the red version numbers - not even getting to the animation). I attempted to soft reset a few times (and even removed the battery for a while) but it still would not boot.
So I performed a hard-reset and restored a backup, whereupon it now seems ok again.
To give a little more info:
- the device was fully charged (had been on charge via USB all day)
- TF3D not installed - standard WM6.1 with SPB Phone Suite installed
- Browsing over wifi (bluetooth and HSDPA connection were also active)
- Running Opera 15613
- Just before the crash, a bug appeared whereby typing a single character into a website textbox (using the slide-out keyboard) would cause that character to be repeated a large number of times on screen - this has never happened before
I've always run the device with the stock HTC ROM and never had any issues like this.
Anyone had anything similar happen?
Yep, just had to hard reset then restore sprite...I was trying to play a song through tf3d and it froze. Soft reset only lead me up to the first screen that states radio version...yaddah yaddah yaddah...hard reset 'solved it'.
Does your phone got hot?
I had a problem while browsing over wifi. To boost the speed i changed power manegment to best performance in wifi settings and phone got hot in few minutes, opera crashed and soft reset didn't help either. But for me removing betery solved the case and also cooling the device a little.
hope this helps

It gets warm sometimes, however in this case I'd only been using the device for a few minutes, so I think it was still cold.
I tried removing the battery but that didn't help.
Seems to be behaving itself since then though.
I got the same problem nearly every day. After a few hours (up to 12) it gets frozen. Only hardreset was possible. I got this problem since a view months. I'm trying now to leave one after another program not installed after every necessary hardreset. Currently i'm suspecting either WM6.5 itself, vAlert or some other mortscript apps. For now i don't installed vAlert and there is no crash since over 24 h.
The following programs are innocent:
- tf3d
- pointui
- SmsReportsEraser
Surprisingly enough, I had the exact same problem just the other day. I got my TP about two weeks ago and was still looking around here learning the ropes of flashing etc and the differences between it and the Mogul. I kinda liked the business card reader that came on the stock rom and couldn't find it as a cab anywhere so I was undecided on flashing a new rom. I also didn't like the TF3d so I wasn't running it. I was using the regular win today screen with spb weather and Phone Suite installed. Worked fine like that for over a week. I got a text message on Tuesday and the TP froze up, so I did a soft-reset. It got frozen on the boot screen just as you described. Fortunately I was able to in hard-spl from the micro disk to unlock it, then I installed NFSFAN's custom rom, also from the micro disk.
Not related to the topic, but I really like how that new rom functions. I added the telus radio as well and now the battery at least makes it through the work day. Before I had to charge it mid day! Only thing I miss is that stupid business card program from the stock rom. If anyone can point me to a cab I'd really appreciate it. I get so many cards its a pain to enter them all manually.
Thanks,

I just started having this problem a couple of days ago. This has happened twice now. Warm-booting did start the reset process (I would get the splash screen), but it never got past that.
i think theres a thread about this somewhere. The cause isnt known but they are trying to pinpoint the problem. Bad rom chip, software problem etc
I've also have been affected by this and its a pain... having to setup the device again.
Mainly this problem has to do with tf3d2 in my case as i try to save a contact each time it will free. So i have to manually enter a phone number and store it.
I guess its better than a hard-reset
Hello Everyone,
Thank god for this website!!!
PLEASE HELP! URGENT!
My 02 XDA Atom was playing up, everytime i kept starting the phone it would hang on windows startup window causing me so much frustration i hit the phone smashing my screen :-( so hard to buy a new screen and replace it. When i replaced it the phone obviously kept hanging on windows startup. i must of done a soft reset maybe 20 times and the last time i must of accidently hit the power and reset buttons at the same time and the phone did a hard reset and i lost everything back to factory default aahhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Unfortantely i had very vital information on it such as sms's, contacts, appointments etc. Im absolutely lost completely without this data. And no i didnt do a backup other than the occasion hot sync to my laptop.
Does anyone know or can they help with the recovery of all this information. The info seemed to be stored on the phone and not on the sim.
i hope someone can
Thanks Everyone

Hi,
You could try to connect your phone to your PC as an external HD and do a recovery with some app like Recuva

Hello everyone,
I've got my prophet G4 for may be 3 years, but I just stepped into Custom ROM world for a few days. I've done the hardSPL and upgrade my phone to WM6, using the first version of this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374155 Thanks to varanusvincent for creating this ROM
I've got some problems with my prophet and finding ways to fix them:
1. My camera, If I set it to save pictures to main memory, everything is fine. But when I set it to save pictures to my SD AData 1gb, when I take pics, the camera shows the previews as normal, but if I press power button to set my phone to sleep mode, and turn on again, the picture in the preview is gone and isn't saved into my SD. I lost heaps of good fotos just because it is my habit to turn off the phone by using that power button.
I tried to use the HTC Camera 4.11 (ELF/HTC Touch) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314798 Seems like the problems has been fixed but I just dont want to use that software due to some battery problems...
Changing another SD card can't help.
So is there any way to solve my camera issue ?
*Note: It's not a ROM's bug coz I tried with 4 difference ROMs but the problem still there.
2. The Vista ROM I'm using may be has a bug in the SMS system. It doesn't get and save the SMS centre mobile number. I always have to do it handly whenever I restart my phone. And seems like the Wifi has some connection problems, too. It hardly connects to my network and sometime suddenly disconnect its self.
I'm using Vodafone New Zealand.
By the way, any suggestion for the best Vista touched ROM ?
Thanks for any helps guys
Hard reset helps alot after flashing
Have you hard reset the device after flashing the ROm?
I tried to reset by pressing the reset whole.
I'm not sure is it hard reset or soft reset. Can you tell me a bit more specific
Thanks
I've seen a ton of "Sim Card Not Detected" threads here and elsewhere, but I think I'm having a different problem. It started yesterday, when my phone spontaneously rebooted (just looked over and saw the boot animation!) and came up saying "No SIM card", when it had been working fine a minute or two before. Since then I have tried:
* Rebooting, many times
* Reseating / cleaning the card, many times, both while powered on and off
* Cache wipe
* Factory reset
* Reflashing from factory image (m4b30z)
Here's where it gets strange. I get no GPS lock in Pokemon Go (grey pin in Google Maps, I haven't installed a dedicated GPS tester yet). I also don't seem to be able to rotate the screen -- I have checked that Auto-Rotate is enabled but it stubbornly refuses to change orientation when turned. All these things worked fine yesterday morning, so I have to assume the failures are related.
If a factory image flash doesn't fix it, I'm guessing it's not going to get better, but I'd at least like to know what kind of (hardware?) failure could lead to all those things going wrong at once. Is it worth bringing to the local repair shop (out of warranty, obvs) or do I just leave new Android iPod at home forever and start phone shopping tomorrow?
Sounds like a hardware problem since the software changes and resets did not resolve the issue.
If the screen and body are in good shape, I would look for a used Nexus 5 with a smashed screen and working motherboard to perform a motherboard swap. It's very easy to do.
Iam there too, seems last update broke something, iam switching to a custom rom
