hi guys, well i just woke up not to long ago hearing my TP restarts by its self, when it did, the task bars were like grey instead of the EnergyROM theme, my Lumos icon looked bizerk and the screen was at full brightness, the connection wizard was launched for some odd reason, scrolled to my Pictures tab and i found like 4 pictures that looked blank O_O, i decided to shut off my phone and guess what? it wouldnt by pass the boot screen, i had to hard reset it manually....what could cause this problem? did anyone else had this problem?
yea, i got the same problem earlier, but only the restart part. everything else is fine.

I don't know if I just never noticed this since I just got the phone on Friday but every time I slide out the keyboard, it'll show the landscape home screen for a few seconds and then open up the phone and I have to hit home to get back. Same when I slide the keyboard back in. I have changed a couple things like the clock, icons, slider, landscape icons, and so that the portrait left softkey opens contacts instead of phone. Any ideas? Thanks!
im actually having the same problem, everytime i open up the phone say to respond to a text message or something the phone screen (dialer screen) pops up and i have to close it and then go back to my text message inbox.
anyone know whats causing this?
This is a known problem that HTC needs to do something about. Some of the custom ROM's tend to do this with less frequency.
Same problem here! Have had the phone for around 3 weeks, just started happening yesterday.
Any solutions?
Thread isn't getting much attention.
I flashed NATF's latest Raphael RoOM (4.1) around a week ago, and I haven't had the problem again.

I believe theres a reg edit for this, but you must re enable it after a while.
Hi i had thesame problem, is something to do with animated taskbar icons, uninstal them and see whats hapened
so basically i haven't had any problems with the phone yet, i switched it off last night, got up this morning and switched it on and it froze on the black screen where it's supposed to say 'loading touchflo 3d' or something? i don't think it actually reaches that part though. i can see the start button, icons, and bottom menu but it's frozen. everytime i restart this happens now. what should i do :/
edit: is there any way of retrieving my contacts (if i can't actually load into windows)? ..before hard resetting
nevermind i'm too impatient, did the hard reset and the device seems to be working fine so far
Yeah theres a website through Microsoft...its in beta but works..
It allows you to backup all your contacts, emails, txts, pictures etc to your microsoft hotmail storage....

Hope that helps for future issues.
OK, so, i know the topic sounds confusing. But my wife's mytouch 4g's battery died the other day. so, we charge it up then turn it on only to find out that every widget, every app, etc is gone from the screen. all that is left is the live wallpaper. apps and everything are still on the phone but all the links to the apps and various widgets are gone. just blank live wall paper screens. so, she manually puts everything back like it used to be, rebooted the phone and now everything is gone again. WTF? anyone know why it is doing this and how to make it not happen? she is against installing any custom ROMs (i'm working on bringing her to the dark side of android). thanks for the help.

The first thing you should try before you do anything else is a factory reset. This sounds like a pretty weird software bug. If it continues, call T-mobile and have them send a replacement.
Is this her first Android? Is she restoring data and settings from another phone through the use of MyBackUp or similar programs? Sometimes using these programs to restore data can cause strange behavior like this, especially if that data is coming from a different device.
On first boot after the factory reset let the phone sit for a solid 5 minutes before setting up. There is first boot "thinking" going on...
EDIT - if you lucked out and got the "good" screen and don't want to warranty replace it you could always root and use the stock nandroid restore found somewhere in the mytouch 4g development section. I'm fairly certain that a factory reset will solve your problems though.
that happen to me.... power the handheld down and let it sit a good few minutes and then boot it back up... all the homes screens should be back to normal.
idk whats up maybe its a bad batch of MyTouchs T-mo recently recieved but i had to send mine back as it kept rebooting itself multiple times a day
Hi,
I've only had my Nexus S for a couple of days and loving it so far, but this morning I had a problem. Here's how it happened:
When my alarm clock went off I hit the snooze button and turned the screen off, went back to sleep. 10 minutes later the alarm went off again later as expected and so I hit snooze again and turned the screen off like before. 5 minutes later I decided to get up as otherwise I would have been late for work, so I go to my phone to disable the alarm as otherwise it would be buzzing when I'm in the shower and the missus would get annoyed. The problem however was that I couldn't unlock the screen! I was jabbing at the power button repeatedly to get it to come on but no response at all. I ending up removing the battery. I should also add that my phone was plugged in a the time as I'd left it charging over night.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I will try and replicate the problem. Here's how my phone is at the moment:
All my homescreens are bare apart from the main one where I have a 4 shortcuts, google search bar and the analogue clock widget. Apps I currently have installed are: Ebay official, facebook official, Twitter official, 3G watchdog, Fruit Ninja, Angy Birds, Live Holdem, Google maps, Gmail Unread Count, Movies, TV Guide.
I'm hoping that this problem was just a one-off.
Thanks
sort of same here. i bought it last thursday and today i can't use the lower part of the screen, right where the phone, menu and browser icons are. Space bar won't work when writing text, etc.
If anyone knows how to fix, pls share
The device is stock 2.3.3, i9023XXKB1, didn't root.

I have been using Nexus S for 4 months now, and I do have random reboots once in a while. Did the phone well work after the reboot?

I never had responsive problem on my phone other than the phone just freezing... Maybe theres something wrong, go ask Samsung.
unfortunately i also have such a problem now! since this morning my screen does not respond on touch correctly...it is very hard to unlock the screen (have to do it very slowly, bar is jumping like crazy) and after that it seems like the screen is reacting even on any reflection, suddenly the status bar is coming down, if i am in a menu, it always scrolls down and up...damned, that sux!
any ideas what i could do? or is this a case for samsung support?
ps: i did not flash anything in the last days, i even restored my nandbackup, that i made after 2.3.4-update (no custom kernel, no nothing), but that did not change anything...
I've had my Z3 for about two weeks now, and all of a sudden last night I noticed it constantly restarting itself (at least once every few minutes). Along with this, it no longer showed that I had anything in the Album or Walkman apps, and several home screen widgets were blank. A lot of other apps won't open, and there's a lot of lag overall. I tried connecting it to my computer, but the software said --it just restarted again while typing this -- that it could not connect. I noticed a couple of days ago that the screen showed nothing but static for a second, an issue I've seen around these forums but brushed off since it only happened once. Has anyone else had this happen? What do I do? My phone is basically unusable at the moment and I intend to keep the power off to keep it from constantly restarting. Thanks for your help.
Factory reset it if it still has issues, then exchange it.
