If the problem persists till monday I will, but I'd like to find a solution other than replacing it as it usually is such a hassle.

realy dont waste your time finding solutions
you may find a temp solution but you will never know it you complete solve the problem or not

Yeah but it just might be a software problem..

that's easy if you didn't unlock the bootloader try factory reset
so if it's software problem it will gone otherwise it's a hardware problem

NTP
Found out in the logcat, that when you've selected automatic time/date settings. The htc Cha Cha couldn't pull a correct time/date from the NTP server. Maybe this is the cause of the random reboot. Ive changed my settings and i've for a 2 hours no reboots...

Hmmm, it's weird though.. I've been using auto time/date without any issues for the past 9 months. On stock ROM, SuperOSR, CM7 and CM9. You could try a factory reset (erasing all data) and check if that clears it out. Other than that, it might be radio related.

This is fix the issue? I have been having abnormal restarts with my ChaCha right after I bough it.

It was not the ntp, but the launcher with the sense engine.... I have replaced them with go laucher and removed the stock launcher and the sense engine with root uninstaller.

So removing sense and replacing it with go launcher fixed it for you? I had the same issue with my HTC chacha the very next day I bough it, did factory reset a couple of times and even flashed a new stock ROM through RUU but nothing helped, I feared it could be a hardware problem but since installing cyanogenmod 7 my phone has worked flawlessly. Every time I go back to stock I get abnormal restarts. I have written HTC about this, the only help they offered was to "factory reset" the device. The logs show kernel panic before every random restart.

[Q] sensation crashing during unlocking the screen

Hi there guys!
i just bought a htc sensation a month ago and make its s-off an flashed also a custom rom (senseless rom 1.2)
now my problem its, that the phone is rebooting sometimes, when i try to unlock the device from sleeping.
i push the power button, the phone doesn't react, so i push a second time. after pushing 2nd time, the display splash on and at the next moment off.
2 seconds later, i got the boot-splash of the device.
anyone had this problem already?
EDIT: this problem was coursed also before s-off, therefore i choose this section to disks about! =)
I'm having this problem as well. I have not rooted or s-off'd or anything else. Stock rom, most apps from the market. This started happening the other day when I installed an update to version 2.3.4. This is happening several times a day and is getting extremely annoying!!
hi,
i just followed this problem again.
i am using now the Beast Rom, and the phone has still this problem.
any ideas?

Try flashing ARHD 3.6.1 from Mike1986 very stable, good support and fully operational. way better than stock.

Defrag your micro sd card and fix file system errors. Uncheck enable fastboot and turn off your phone then turn it back on again. Lastly, try not to use "kill all" in task manager. Hope it help you guys.
Crashing as well
Same here with crashing.
During unlock, when using GPS. It's now several times a day. The device has become unfit for purpose. Will try the SD card trick.

Random phone lockups

Ive been having some random phone lockups where the phone becomes unresponsive and the only way to get it back is to pull battery and turn on again.
I'm on virtuous inquisition 3.0.
Just wondering whether this is a rom issue or hardware. Has anyone else had this problem?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
I am running the same rom and it's running great for me. Did you super wipe before you installed the phone?
I think is the rom, I had the same problem with the coredroid Rom. I'm now using the insect coin rom and the problem is gone.

Yeah used the superwipe script from another Rom's page. I might try wiping fully manually then see if it fixes it.

Running VI 3.0 with 3.24 firmware. No lockups. In the first 6hrs, the rom needs to settle. Whenever I rebooted, my screens would jumble and the Nova restore widget function wouldn't work. I had to redo my screens at least 3 times yesterday. But a full 12 hrs in, the rom settled. And I never had a random reboot or lag.

[Q] Losing data connection

Let me try to explain... Tmob US rooted new HTC one S.. Running trick Droid 4.3..
For some reason I have I will not be able to connect to data. The indicator still says connected sometimes I see the 3g up arrow go solid. Other times it trys to send some stuff on HSPA but does not work.
I have done the research.
I have flashed the latest radio. TMOB one not EU
I have reinstalled rom with full data, cache and dalvik wipes.
I know there is some sort of radio problem from HTC.
But this problems happens a many of times a day and there is no indication when it is broken until you see that there is no notifications and / or you go to use your data connection.
The only fix that I have found that works is to turn the mobile network off then back on....
Stats: 4.03, Baseband 0.16.31501s.16_2_10.22.3150s.10L, Build number 1.78.401.2.cl58751 Kernel 3.0.8-01136.....
What is the best way that someone has found to fix this....
Thanks in advance...
Look in the forum for the fast dormancy fix.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
I have tried many things and still have the same problem...
Attempts:
- New Micro sim not one that was cut down.
- New Rom (TrickDroid 6.1) Full wipe, cache, dalvik
- Fast Dormancy comes as a tweak in Trick Droid. Did not help.
- Update the radio to the latest one for tmobile.
Now sometimes I also cannot make a call or get a incoming call.
The fix is to put the phone in airplane mode then turn airplane mode off.
Has anyone else seen this.....
What is a way that I can diagnose / debug....
I would reformat sdcard, maybe even with sdformatter--copy to pc first and have nandroids on pc too
Wipe System 2x if you don't already
Try Axiom or LeeDroid

Don't have that answer--sorry
If all this OP mentioned is done including the ones I listed, there may not be a solution atm--barring return/exchange. I have never had the wifi issues, so not sure why some do and some don't--
Well I am trying everything now..
I will update soon.
I am re-installing TrickDroid 6.1. (Fresh Download) (Tmob version S4)
- Wipe cache, Data, system
- Format sdcard, data, system, cache (This is the first time I have ever formated sdcard)
- Did wipes and formatting more than once.
- Made sure that I format everything...
- Made sure boot.img is correct. by downloading and re-flashing
- New Micro sim from Tmob - NOT one cut down....
- Made sure all data from SD card is gone...
Once I get back up and test it out some more I will let everyone know if it worked...
I am not sure what is the problem... Maybe something was left on the sdcard???
2 days without losing data i think my problem is disappeared randomly.. But my battery it drain so fast with data on

What did you do???
Full wipe etc??? Can you provide details...
Since I did all of the actions above... I lost data once.. But that may be because of my location at that time..
I was losing data more than that before...

Well,
I have to say it is a little better but it not fixed.
I cleared everything as seen above.
Now I only lose my connection maybe once a day.
I am not sure what to try next.
I see HTC released to source for the HTC One S.
So maybe the next version will have some other improvements that will fix this problem

You should try to toggle the fast dormancy

I will try it... Does T-Mobile support Fast Dormancy???
Also has any one tried a different Kernel instead of the one that comes with TrickDroid 6.2??

Since JB, keyboard and widgets don't load on reboot

I tried to find a answer but have been unsuccessful.
Since upgrading to JB whenever I reboot, my keyboard reverts to the stock keyboard and I have to go into settings to turn back on SwiftKey and then re select it.
Also on reboot, switch pro widget will not be loaded nor will audio manager profile switcher.
Any advice?

I recall having the same issue with JB at one point but I think after I RUU'd it stopped. I could be wrong, ofcourse. I know there's a bug with some settings switching back after reboot and I remember thinking this was part of that bug. But I was on Viper for a couple days a few days ago and don't remember it happening during that time.
I have the same issue. SwiftKey almost always is disabled on reboot and frequently overnight. Not sure if this is a glitch or some new memory management thing with the AT&T JB based ROM. Doesn't happen with my N7.
Running CR6.X - also happened with a ported ROM I flashed over the holidays.
Pretty annoying. Not really into RUUing at this time, since that has always been painful for me on other HTC phones. I have attempted clean flashes in an attempt to fix, with no luck.

Might, RUU up to 3.18/3.17, make sure your S-OFF and don't relock your bootloader. Report your findings.

There's a thread about S-OFF in the original android development section.
Ruu, is simple, download the exe and run it with your phone plugged in. Don't relock the bootloader.
An update,
I didnt RUU but I found out that if I power off and then powerback on it keeps the keyboard and widgets
I also had At&t send me a new device, but it had the same problem
the rep called HTC and they have never heard of this problem, but have no fixes, so that sucks
the end response was just dont restart the phone, power it off then back on

These phones have sort of a internal battery to hold settings and clock in place when the battery dies, I'm assuming that same battery died. I don't know how the network issue can be related, but have you tried scanning for networks? Do you find any provider while scanning?

Below is a Hboot which has the status set to LOCKED use if you need to ( move the PG58IMG.zip on your root of the sdcard and reboot into bootloader )
