I sent my TP back to HTC to fix the audio. They replaced the "main board". Since return, the GPS no longer starts up. I think the hardware is functioning, because in GPStest, I see 4-5 yellow or green bars suggesting it has found sats. But it continues to say "GPS starting up"
Google Maps sticks with "0" satelites or gives a message that te GPS is not installed.
Tried all the reg tweaks, but I don't I'm getting the GPS started up to be able to experience the GPS lag problems.
Regretting my Purchase every day

Hey,
So after having browbeating my phone for 1½ years (and recently started bragging about it) something major has finally happened. Shouldn't have jinxed it.
Basically, it pushes buttons in random order. The things that happen (and can start to happen all the time, even before I enter my PIN):
Volume going up
Volume going down
Connection manager opens
Camera turns on
Switches between modes while in camera (panorama, burst etc)
I'm unable to try out if I can access connection manager and camera through volume up/down, but if that's possible then I'd say it's a problem with the volume up and down buttons on the side.
Also: I've lost all connection what so ever with my operator.
I recently flashed to Energy Phoenix 2.0 feb 26th build - Sense 2.1 21892 and it worked as normal for 1½ week. Then today I received a text, and then I lost signal and all the button mashing started happening.
It drains 50% of the battery in about 2hrs, leaving me think that it's doing something even with screen off laying on my desk.
Just now I flashed to Energy Leo feb 26th build, 21892 Sense 2.5 version and it's still all weird.
Anyone know what's going on?
UPDATE: argh, clicked the wrong button and lots of text disappeared
anyway. shortly: the buttons stopped working altogether for a short while, and it stopped ****ing around. Then they started working again and the ****ing around resumed. At one point I couldn't navigate away from the volume screen because of horrendously fast changes in volume. I've tried hard-resetting, but it wants to start up the camera the moment i'm done calibrating my pen resulting in canceled "first-time-installations-scheduled-after-hard-resets", with angry red letters.
stoopid phone
I Had the same problema, but worse, i have the same problem with the keys but also now the led of the flash of camera still on
So the ligh is always on, also when the device is off, i dont know what to do because im in mexico and no many people know abaut repair this phone.
I hope anyone can help thankss
Anybody experiencing the "quick search" box coming up at random. I've had this issue since flashing to JH7 (both the unofficial samfirmwares version and 'real' version).
It literally goes crazy, goes to the quick search screen and blinks like 5 times, then stays on the quick search screen, until i press back.
I had this problem with the home button on JF6 and it went away in JH3 but now appears to be back for me in JH7
Ever since I left stock my search screen randomly pops up. I truly can't find a pattern. I used to think I was accidentally hitting it but I've seen the search screen pop up while the phone was just sitting there while plugged into the computer.
I've gone days without it happening and I've seen it happen multiple times within a day. It's very odd and bothersome!
I have the problem as well and I'm not rooted so I think its just a issue with or without root
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I think it's a hardware issue.
First phone I got, has this problem with "home" button, sometimes 10-15 times/minute. Changed after 2 weeks, home button is fine but "search" button coming up at random, and also has random shut down issue (4 shut downs within a hour). Changed again, now this phone is perfect, no shut down anymore, no search button issue.
BTW, all three phones run stock rom, not rooted, update to JH7 yesterday and so far no problem at all.
i'm the OP, and now it happens less than it was before. haven't changed ROMs--been running Cog 2.2 Beta 7, but this has been happening ever since JH7.
i notice it gets super crazy when using the stock browser. what i've done is seriously press it manually very hard when it happens, until it goes to voice search. then do it again and again. thinking maybe the button is stuck down there.
I've got an HD2 running Android. I installed iheartradio and it works fine most of the time. But, intermittently, most often after I make a phone call and hang up before it's answered (purely anecdotal but that SEEMS to be what happens), the radio won't work any more. I can press the play button, it tries, but no sound. Eventually, I get a popup that it "can't connect to server"...
I've toggled the wireless off and on, and looked at other settings, but I don't see any indication of why it'd suddenly stop working.
I'm not sure it's the same problem but sometimes when this happens, pressing the play button is ignored. Pressing repeatedly has no effect.
So far, the only way I've been able to get things working again is to power off the phone and reboot...
Ideas of what I should check/change?
Well, I see this problem just sat here like a turd in a punch bowl...
I presume this means it's just another app that mostly works most of the time on the HD2 running Android. And when it fails you just shut the phone off and reboot...
Hi,
After switching from my old trusty Desire, I'm beginning to regret getting the One s!
Anyone else having reboot problems? Mine hard restarts at least twice a day even if left completely idle (as it just has having been on charge for the last hour).
Wifi - Stays connected to access-points long, long gone. Was connected to my home according to the settings screen 5 hours after I left home. Data then stops flowing. Solution is to turn off and back on wireless.
HTC gave me a rather poor response. I have exactly the same apps (bare the new sense) on the new phone as the old, less even.
Anyone else having the same issues? I guess it's a software issue, but I want to return it if it's a faulty handset.
Thanks.
I think you should do a factory reset and then try the phone for a day whithout doing any changes to it. If it still restarts you should really send it back.

i have exactly the same problem. sometimes my device reboots without doing nothing. i had this on my black device and on my grey device after i gave the black one back. i contacted htc and the woman at the chat support just said it is a software problem and i should do a factory reset. to do that i should remove the battery (lol). because of that i think htc-employees are really unqualified.
same issue with wifi here.it stays a few hour connected without any problem. then it disconnects and doesn't reconnect.only if i turn it off and on again.It doesn't appear evertime wifi is on but it is annoying.i hope htc will fix this soon

Certainly sounds like we have the same issues. let's hope HTC are listening and fix soon.
I have also some reboots. I think at least twice a week. And always when the phone is on standby. I hope also that htc will fix this soon =)
Not only with phones, but look at Windows or games, they also have bugs at start, but with time most of them get fixed
Mine also only reboots in standby. In my pocket, on the desk, etc. It's never done it during use, and I do use it a lot.
WiFi problem is noted. An annoyance, but no deal breaker as long as I have the WiFi toggle on the home screen. Guess it will be fixed when developers get their hands on the kernel source.
Had the phone for one week come Friday, and had one shutdown (not reboot) this far, and that happened as I was surfing multiple tabs in dolphin. Guess the phone ran out of operating space and had to clean itself out in a bad way
Got mine today so will let you know.

Had the same reboot issue since 2 days (at least once a day). I have the phone since 10 days. The last program I installed was "adfree". I couldn't use it as I have no root rights yet but didn't uninstall it. Finally I uninstalled it yesterday and no more self reboot since. Hope this helps.
I've had the reboot problem on several occasions. Twice the 'One S' has even got stuck in a reboot loop (after login the phone restarts as soon as I try to start an app or report the error). This problem seems to be related to some problematic app running in the background constantly restarting itself and not the actual phone or ICS.
SOLUTION (worked for me):
1) Reboot the phone.
2) When 'HTC One S splash screen' appears hold down 'volume down' to enter safe mode. (Note: If you hold 'volume down' while powering on the device you may end up in a different mode. Don't panic just choose 'reboot' or 'power down' by navigating with power button and volume buttons and try again.)
3) The text "Safe mode" will appear in the lower left corner of the screen.
4) Login and uninstall any app that may be causing problems. Reboot the phone and see if the problem has disappeared, if not repeat 1-4.
Hope it helps!
Just wanted to update this thread on my reboot problem. Since the OTA update the other day, I've not had a single reboot, yet. The wifi connection / disconnection problem seems gone as well.
this is happening to me as well. Once I turn on wifi/ wifi calling the phone searches for a network then freezes up and reboots.. it keeps rebooting until I turn off wifi. This all started for me when I got the OTA 1.78 update. No idea how to fix it. blah!
That's odd. I can confirm that since the update (more than a week now?), I've had only 1 reboot whilst in 'Dolphin'. I was getting them at least daily before even when not using the phone. It's reboot in standby. All my wifi issues have gone. Wifi now seems to work perfectly.
I use the phone quite heavily. I'm pretty convinced that the update has fixed or at least significantly improved the issues I was experiencing. Let's hope it didn't break thinks for others who were not having the issues in the first place!
<oh, and btw - I do use internet calling (only in the last week though since the update)>
I've got a weird issue. I'm running the stock T-Mobile ROM with the only real modification being Swype as my keyboard. Sometimes it seems the phone will get very warm and stop responding. I can still open the home screen, go through apps, etc, but Internet/Data will fail to work. I can access the dialer, but it will refuse to dial. When I press a text box for the keyboard to come up to type, nothing registers within the box as I type. Using the home screen widget to turn on and off wireless and GPS, those buttons stop responding as well.
Has this happened to anyone? I'm close to performing a factory reset to hopefully rid this issue. Rebooting the phone seems to fix it, but it has happened about half a dozen times within the past 2 weeks now.

Best bet is to factory reset which, of course, will dump all your apps, settings, etc etc... An even better bet is to root and install a custom ROM; but that is your call.
Another option is to get a task manager / battery monitor and see if a specific app is causing your phone to act up. Look for things like most time on or most CPU usage or most battery consuming, depending on what app you use.
Agreed. Try a factory reset, or send it to HTC.
