[Q] Phone Suddenly hanged and now donesnt work properly - HTC Desire S

Hello Guys,
Tuesday night i kept my phone on charging, next morning the phone didnt repond on the wake button, tried several times no help, removed the battery and restarted the device but it took it around 30 minutes to boot up, but the touch screen didnt worked at all, i tried to format the phone via bootloader (after pulling the battery)on first try no result same issue..non working touch screen, after formatting again it started workign smoothy, but i am again facing the same issue today, phone wont start up, and same issue with non working touch scrren.... cant even pickup an calls.... Need you help on it.. I m on Stock rom 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 overlay non rooted.. and help or i need to go to gallery to resolve the issue

Hi Zeus,
Firstly - Never, ever pull the battery!!!
There - over and done with. Pulling the battery runs a high risk of causing permanent damage to the eMMC chip. You should (I have never locked up my phone so badly that this doesn't work) hold down the Power, Vol+ and Vol- buttons until the phone shuts down on its own.
You say your phone is no-rooted? I guess that means that you have not run any kind of mod on it, obtained S-OFF or anything else and the phone is, basically, as you bought it? If so then I would recommend that you simply go via HTC or your service provider to obtain a replacement.
If you have not felt the need before now to unock/root your phone then now is not really the ideal time to start doing so if you have a warranty still.

If you are in Mumbai (as on ur profile) , You can visit the HTC Support Centre @ Borivali (Thakkar Mall, near Borivali Station) - http://www.htc.com/in/help/service-center/
Please Note : They will most probably repair the phone (I don't think they replace the phones here in India after the initial 15 days period in which u can claim the Dead on Arrival policy).

Thanks for all the Suggestions,
Have read all the issues regarding emmc chip being fried on Desire S, but being out of town for some day, didnt had any choice but to try, however i let the battery drain completely yest.. recharged the phone to full and then booted again.. and its working fine as of now (didnt worked earlier).. without any issues from last 5 hrs.. lets see how it holds, havent yet installed any of apps yet.. guess will wait for another day or two to see the software fails again to hold.
went borivali, but its not yet started (confirmed with customer care of HTC) still being completed..
but yes.. will visit the Dadar branch if any issue arrises afterwards

Glad to hear its working fine as of now.
Btw , regarding the Borivali Service Centre . . I have been there last month & it is well up & running !

Been there on Friday evening at around 6 but it was closed....then I inquired on customer care which told me its non functional as of now... Will check tomm....
The phones working f9 now...no issues in past 2 days...hope it holds

Guys, I have seen this kind of problem with one of my colleagues phone (Not Desire S but Wildfire S). The reason was (assumed) pretty weird though, it was because of some electrical problem. Whenever he would charge his phone at home - it would start having this kind of problem, but when he charged it at office or through his PC - the problem would vanish!
Although I am not sure if yours is the same case.... but then could be..
Another thing: I got my phone's mobo replace free of cost from HTC (Salora) when it was under warranty even though it was S-Off, Rooted - so I think HTC is a bit lenient in India

The issue it seems has vanished, no issues as of now..no hangups or freezes and yes....both the time the issue arised when the phone was in charging.

i have the same issue, and i suspect it is related to 3G/H. if it is on edge/wifi, i think it won't restart
See here
My HTC HD2 keeps restarting too. Sometimes it seems random. Sometimes I can get it to restart again and again. Today it was taking a picture. Everytime it was focused-RESTART! AAAARRRGGGHHH. I am gonna have to send her back.
Oh I have everything standard. Latest updated ROM from HTC site. This phone is sending me crazy. I think my wife is gonna leave me now cause I am geting so grumpy!!!!! Lol, my phone just restarted while playing a video. It doesnt even seem hot. Annoying thing is my last phone was a cheap one and it kept playing up -3 different phones over 6 weeks- so I went all out and got an expensive one. Damn...............
The things you mention OP increase mA draw so could be as simple as battery issue.
im having the same problem, its mostly when the device is warm but i donno how to find that out.
after it reboots sometimes its stuck on the htc logo, sometimes it manages to get to the htc sense but it reboots afterwards.
it only works again when i leave it off battery to cool down.
is there a way to monitor and log its temp?
I am suffering the same. I have try many things... still suffer either random hang, random reboot, random hang at boot. So far I have try
- Flash other rooms
- basic or custom as Energy
- Flash back stock Rom
- Change SPL to newer
- Flash again custom and stock
- Check battery pins and ensure they are not bent
- Flash newer radio
- Flash again basic, custom and stock roms
Now I am trying to leave the phone for few hours without Battery, Simcard, memory chip...
Nothing working for me. Still random hangm, reboot or boot problems.
Unfortunately I have the exact same problem. Please let me know if there is any progress. Thanks
I#ve had the sae problem. HTC repaired it by changing the mainboard.
regards
Bernhard
I have this problem as well. Exactly the same with the random restarts, and restarting after restarting, especially when trying to view Youtube videos.
So it IS a hardware issue and HTC has fixed it on newer phones? So everyone with the old phone is just screwed?
Mine is even a Telstra version from Australia and its been having these problems since I got it used. I guess I got screwed buying it used.

I have the same problem, and the person from HTC told me that the main reason can be the motherboard.
He also told me not to keep the HTC 24/7 working, and to trun it off for a few hours during the day/night, cause the device itself doesn't have a cooling system and after the motherboard gets a high temperature during battery charging, using etc it can damage the device
I only had it if i opend too much storage consumpting apps at the same time - does it restart right after reboot again when you just open the browser and nothing else before?

Phone keeps randomly powering off!

Hi, been away from the forum, as i have just got back from holiday
i am having a prblem with my desire.. i went to florida, left my phone at the theme parks, desire s, zte blade, ipod touch in the car for 8 hours in around 30-40 degrees. since then, my desire s has been faulty.
my touch, and zte work fine, but my desire has a major problem now. it works normal in use, but when i lock it and put it into sleep mode, when i try to unlock it , it will start up the whole phone again. basically, it powers off on its on randomly in sleep mode.
The problem is really annoying. it is also very common on the desire hd..
http://www.google.co.uk/search?sour...360GB360&q=htc+desire+hd+randomly+turning+off
Im running leedroid port from dhd. i thought the rom was the problem, but it isnt. i flashed other roms, hydrogen, but the problem still exists. shoud i test the stock unrooted ROM?
i dont think it is a software fault anyweay. the phone was working fine for 2 weeks running leedroid, then suddenly i have the problem now.
i have emailed htc, and awating a reply now. so will i need to get it repaired? or replaced as a faulty unit?
Hmm.....does sound like the heat has done it in....damn!
Although there are plenty of other countries where the temp is close to this all the time, you would have thought....
Try installing close to stock ROM with no apps installed, (Yes perform wipe). I'd suggest installing battery moniotr widget and get iot to log full details (including apps), force log in sleep mode so that you can at least see when it dies and what temp it's at when it does and what apps are running at the time.
Although does sound like warranty return issue (at least this way you get a new motherboard and possibly even a new device)...(you might want to check the recommended running temp levels in the warranty book first - just so that you get your story straight)
Positive note: at least its still functioning so that you can re-install RUU etc and mask S-OFF before returning it?
ps
Mines done this a couple of time over the last few months...although I always figured that I've hit the buttons in my pocket?

Cheers Ben! Love how your always here to help!
I'll try installing battery monitor widget , and go back to stock, s-on
So do you think it was the heat that damaged the phone? My ipod touch and zte blade were left in the car, but they work 100% fine
I've checked the warranty thingy, it says do not expose battery to 60 degrees or higher.
But to be honest, I dot really know how hot it could get in the car... Florida is very hot!
I'm just waiting for a reply from HTC now
The phone works fine everywhere else, its just this problem.. I tried cooling the phone by switching it off and taking the battery out, and leaving it for an hour.
The thing with this problem, is that it is entirely random! It sometimes last ages in standby before the problems occur, or within 10 minutes.
How can I prove it to HTC??
I wouldn't worry too much about your phone doing the same once in a few months or so
Mine is happening at least 6 times a day!!
I'll try to keep the thread updated to how it all goes

Hello,
Could have been the heat, but could simply be a faulty motherboard....either way a new device might be a good thing, 1/2 way through your warranty period.
Don't know how hot it gets in cars in Florida....but I know that it can kill pets let alone phones!
Cheers, not worried about my phone, just trying to relate that's all
You're just going to be have to forcefull in your email and exaggerate...even
best of luck

Hopefully I get a reply soon tommorow!

Though my phone was not left anywhere where temp was extreme, mine is also doing this since this week,, Also a few months old and I blame the apps installed . I ahd battery monitor and suspected just that prog..
I have not yet gone to a clean rom yet but selectively remove apps till I find improvement....
Meaning there are others with the same problem !

Yeh, some of them have the same problem after a couple if weeks old (not exposed to heat or anything) what causes this problem?
How often do u have this problem??
My old Nokia 5230 has the same problem
Mine has the same problem and has never been exposed to extreme heat. I think the power button is faulty and after some use it get stuck some times and closes the phone down. I started pressing the button with less force and the random power downs stopped happening.
What happened? I have not found a relationship yet. It seems random too me so far. If it happens once more i will go to factory default plain htc stock rom (i have not fiddled with the device or rom)
If it then happens as well i know enough. I will see and report me experience in due time.
Btw its android 2.3.3 build 1.47.401.4

To be honest, I think its more of a hardware problem!
My phone was running fine on stock and custom roms for 3 weeks, then it just started last week when I left my phone in the car
A lot if desire hd users had the same issue as us!
I'm awaiting a reply from HTC now
Will update on what they say.
the heat probably was the culprit
my phone reaches around 45c at times due to the high outside temperature here,but i don't have any problems so i guess yours was heated more
but if you can, try changing the battery it may help
Random shutdown
I also suffered from this. A new Radio + ROM + cleaning some apps has solved the problem.
Thanks for the replies everyone!
I received the following e-mail of HTC today:
Dear Oliver Loh,
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC Device.
I understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with rebooting and random restarts.
I believe that the reason for this is because of a hardware issue.
In order to rectify this I would like you to perform the following actions:
) Make sure your device is fully up to date:
Menu - settings - about phone - system software update - tick box - check now.
) If possible test the device with or without a (new) battery, SIM, SD card.
To assist you further I have attached links to the HTC Support Site which will enable you to work through the above step by step:
http://www.htc.com/uk/support.aspx
Once the above has been completed you may be required to do a factory reset, for your convenience I have detailed the steps below:
) Restarting or factory resetting your phone:
Restarting your phone (soft reset):
If your phone is running slower than normal, an application is not performing properly, or your phone becomes unresponsive, try restarting your phone and see if that helps solve the problem.
Please remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, reinsert the battery, and then turn the phone on.
Performing a factory reset (hard reset):
Note: Factory reset will not remove the data and files that are in your phone’s microSD card.
Factory reset is not a step to be taken lightly. It will permanently delete all your data and customized settings, and will also remove any applications you've downloaded and installed. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a factory reset.
Performing a factory reset via settings
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons:
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button..
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE or (Factory Reset), and then press POWER.
4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.
Should the above solution not resolve your query please can you confirm the following and reply to me:
1) Has the device been recently updated/upgraded or changed:?
2) Has a new application been recently downloaded:?
3) Please can you turn off all applications and UN-install any which are unessential, As they may be causing issues:?
4) What have you already done/tried to troubleshoot your issue/s:?
5) When did your issue/s occur or re occur:?
6) Is you device or applications fully up to date:?
Should the above fail to restore your device to full working order, the device (MAY) need to be sent for repair.
I hope that this information meets with your requirements, should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.
If this response has resolved your query, and you have no further questions please close this ticket by following the link below. Upon closure of the ticket you will be invited to complete our Customer Satisfaction Survey which should take no more than 1 minute to complete.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Sincerely,
Robert

And today i can confirm the problem has occured 8 times today. Now it can do the problem up to 3 times in a row, when the device is in use.
It happened this morning 3 times, 2 in the afternoon, and as i am typing now, i just booted into recovery and the phone crashed on me twice at the recovery screen.
I will reply to HTC and tell them i have the stock rom etc, and will s-on my device and send it for repair soon hopefully
So what's your uptime since you changed??

If the problem persists through multiple ROMs, it definitely sounds like a hardware problem. I'd return it to stock and have it sent in for repair under warranty.
Haven't read all replies... but this is a well-known battery fault (and isn't necessarily triggered by either heat or humidity... it is most commonly a manufacturing defect).
My very first HTC Desire S handset had almost exactly the same issue, only the battery from that handset would power off the phone only when the GSM picked up a signal (I.E.... you get reception, but the phone kills itself instantly. No reception, phone ran fine).
O2 replaced the entire thing under warranty (but I sneakily kept the battery to prove my theory). I placed that battery into my replacement handset, and behold.... EXACTLY the same thing!
Put the new battery in, everything works perfectly.
Bottom line: don't replace the phone, just replace the battery!

Hmm.. it does make a bit more sense that the heat could have affected the battery rather than the phone itself.
The battery is probably unable to run under low power that is used when put in sleep mode so it just cuts itself out altogether.
My hypothesis...
i have the exact problem!!
i thought i was the only one... mine turns off at least 3-4 times a day for no apparent reason.
at first, i thought it was the heat during the summer.. but now that the temperature is getting milder i dont really think thats the cause.
sometimes when i place it on the desk and i tap it or just bump it hard enough it'll turn off.
i think its more of a hardware problem then software.

That's sounds like a bad battery connection, I'd take it back under warranty {if possible} as the chance of a fried eMMC chip must be high!

HTC Rhyme power off issue

Ok, so my friend got HTC Rhyme, 2 year contract and all that. The phone worked fine for about a week, when it started having random shut-downs. She sent the phone to an official HTC repair shop, it was there for about a 20 days, and they returned it, stating that they couldn't find any of the issues she reported (random shut-downs, overheating problems, bad responsiveness, and stuff like that). But, they "put the phone under serious work load to test things mentioned". They reflashed the RUU.
2 week later, the phone has the same issues. We take it again, this time with a specific request that they change the complete motherboard, with the CPU, camera server, NAND, etc. She got the phone about a week ago, and it still has the same shut down issues. Should we request a new phone, or is there any other solution. And, does anybody here know, what could be the trigger for this problem.
Thanks.
Seems to me like the CPU is having problems maintaining the clock. That same thing happens on my wildfire when I overclock it to the max. It the phone is rooted try to underclock it. If not, you should definitely take it back and request a new one

i have same problems
random shutdown
There are two conditions for the occurrence
first - dockstation
second is - unlockboot and super user
but when i delete su and lock boot.....i have all the same shi......but after a while.....
SO i think problem with power lies in a dock....may be...
ps/english/for/my/sorry)
If you still have the option, I would advise you return the phone. My girlfriend has had the Rhyme about 6 months now and has had nothing but problems. Power cycling hers takes a minimum of 5 minutes (no exaggeration) to come back up At least half a dozen times a day it will show HTC white loading screen or just loading icon when she presses the Home key or back key, etc when she goes back to the main screen. It freezes a lot and gives the same HTC loading screen, etc. Overall, the experience with the Rhyme has been very negative experience and we haven't been able to fix it regardless. :/

[Q] lcd problem lg optimus 3d

Lost touchscreen handling in upper and lower part of my screen!!!Pls Help!
I have a rooted device with xsba's custom rom (4.0.4). The problem started before this ROM. I am pretty sure that this is no rom issue. I have flashed the phone several times with numerus roms. Problem persists.
I already have changed touchscreen once because of a serius fall (broke) approximately 6 months ago.
These are all the facts. Before xsba's rom i used thiaiz o3d. (2.3.7). The problem started one day that i hadn't charged the phone up. When the battery fell under 5 % the phone went berserk. (Numerus button presses all the time)
I couldn't even reboot. When I finally turned it off by removing battery and restarted the phone the upper field of touchscreen of the phone never worked again.
Yesterday i failed to charge again.ASfter finally restarting the same issue appeared in the lower field of touchscreen. Please advice!!!!!!!!
Is there a way to solve this problem without changing the touchscreen?

Now , you need to go to developer options in the settings and enable show touches option. Then you touch and slide to the parts that don't work . If you see the line going there , then it's a problem with your ROM. If it's not , then you possibly have a broken touchscreen. Check the contact of the touchscreen ribbon and see if it's tightly sitting on the slot , press it down and try again.
If it's not working , you have no choice but to replace the touchscreen. You can buy one off eBay for 19 dollars and free shipping. It's made in China but it works well without problems for the past 6 months with my device.
Hope I helped.
Cheers!

If it's not working , you have no choice but to replace the touchscreen. You can buy one off eBay for 19 dollars and free shipping. It's made in China but it works well without problems for the past 6 months with my device.
Hope I helped.
Cheers!

HI did you ever solve this? I have the same problem, or very similar with middle and lower sections of screen dead, strange ghost touches and screen going crazy every so often, all started after I rooted phone. Was it just a broken touch screen? Cheers

Nexus 5 Screen Freeze

Was at about 30% battery and the screen froze as in it wouldn't take any touch events. The backlight would react as if the screen wasn't touched. It seems like the touch events just were not registering but the phone worked in the background. Kernel issue maybe? I have been using faux.
Something similar ....
I had a similar experience on the 15th .... took my N5 off the Qi charger and the screen froze when i tried to unlock it.
I hit the power button and was able to unlock and get a few touches in before it froze again.
I was finally able (after much screen off/on cycles) to get down to the developer options and turn on show touches & show cpu usage.
... background processes looked fairly normal when the screen was frozen(touches showed as frozen) ...
I was rooted, stock rom except for xda user Jishnu Sur's N5 camera mod and running a couple tried & true root apps(Stickmount & QuickBoot). Thought some software issue might be jamming up the digitizer i/o causing it to freeze.
Reverted entirely to stock (the Team Win recovery was also experiencing screen freeze - buttons worked fine) including removing TRWP and re-locking the boot loader!!
The screen freezing problem persists ... my conclusion is that it's a hardware issue. :crying:
It's possible you are seeing the same thing, but I haven't seen anything in the forums to indicate it's a widespread problem.
Returning it for a replacement phone ... :fingers-crossed:
Hi,
same problem here from France.
I already returned a Nexus 5, after multiple freeze I tried to format data partition via bootloader, (no rooted phone, following google instructions for stock reset) then the phone crash wile formatting, it never wake up gain.
When I get a new one from google after one or two week same problem appears, and it's append more and more often, since monday my phone crash one time more every night, and all the day today.
A this time I'm still trying to load it sine I came back from work seven hour ago, battery still at 49%.
I think it's and hardware issue too.
I'm very disappointed about Google and I'll never by anymore LG products.
Thanks for reading.

Freezes tend to happen on custom kernels specially if you under-volt it too much. have you done that?

Last week I had the same problem with my new NEXUS 5. IT’S TOTALLY A HARDWARE ISSUE.
LG products are however not so bad in the JAPAN market but still we are expecting a lot from LG technology.
LG services suck.
I am facing the same problem with my Nexus 5. Unrooted, bought 7 months back from India itself, was working fine till around two weeks back,when the lags, screen freeze, blacking out n all appeared. Got it repaired twice at the LG centre. They changed the front display touchpad as well as the charging connector strip. The problem still persists.
