Spontaneous reboot

Got my phone last Wed, and until 5 minutes ago it had been flawless.
Was sitting on the desk next to me, and spontaneously lit up, vibrated, and rebooted.
Everything seems to be fine, but was a bit strange.
Anyone else seen this?

I see it when using the music player

I've had this quite a bit, twice during phone calls too. Once it gets regular I do a factory reset and it sorts it for a few days. I'm also getting the capacitive buttons not responding but a reboot sorts it. I'm tempted to send it for repair but half of me thinks its just buggy release firmware.

The odd thing is I wasn't using it at all, and nothing was running. It was just sitting there with a dark screen and all of a sudden the boot screen came on.
If we were seeing lots of posts like yours I'd agree it's probably a common problem, but in your case I'd swap the phone. I'll definitely be monitoring closely.

Mine has rebooted twice in week and a half of owning, and also sense crashes about once a day, i go to unlock and its the HTC white screen the sense comes up loading....

I also have problem with restarting/reloading. However, it is a bit different situation. I get white screen and sense UI (and maybe everything else I didn't check yet) reloads. By my observations, it happens after I do stuff on a phone for a very long time (1 to 3 hrs). After such extensive use phone becomes even hot to the touch at the bottom of the screen. Then all of the sudden when I exit some program to go back to sense UI I get white screen and sense UI reloads.

I had the same issue with my first two sensations. I found out tho it was because of the 16GB SD that I was using from my MyTouch 4G. Once I reformatted the card inside of the sensation it never rebooted again.

oh really? i may try this.

Coming from the LG G2x and leaving with reboots as one of my main issues, this is extremely disheartening news!!! I hope HTC releases a firmware update soon as the G2x was pretty obvious that it was a hardware issue since the Optimus 2X STILL suffers from the issue with no word from LG about a fix coming.

Sounds to me like there's more than one cause of reboots. I'm using the stock SD and my phone doesn't get warm. I haven't seen Sense restart and I wasn't using it when it rebooted.
I have ordered a 16Gb SD though so appreciate the tip.
It's good to keep this thread going. I'll update with any new developments.

I've had 4 Sensations and my wife has 1. Not one has rebooted or had Sense restart/reboot. Might be a certain couple of apps causing it.

I really think that sense ui looks amazing...but i wish it would have came with Android 2.3.4 AOSP/Nexus S style...I guarantee half the stuff that's wrong wouldn't be an issue.

Same here too!
I have not tried yet the factory reset.
Also mine has a very weak gsm signal compared with other phones. Practically I have 0 signal where other have full!

Had the same issue so I formatted my SD card. Had no issues for the last 6 days. no reboots, nothing. Sence 3 has so far only crashed when messing around with unsuported 3d games, but that is my fault. Sence is very stable.

I had that issue as well. Getting from tmo a new sim card solved that issue for me.

I have three sensations on my account. I got all three at the same time. I noticed mine was rebooting couple times a day while the other two were not rebooting. So I exchanged mine and got the replacement about a week ago. So far no reboots at all. I would say if it is bothering you and if it is rebooting pretty often then you should exchange it.

Sense restarts after installing/uninstalling apps w/new Market!

I updated to the new Market and it works perfectly BUT - Sense seems to restart after I leave the Market and have just uninstalled or installed/updated apps. Is this normal behavior? I've been using Launcher Pro for most of the time I've had the phone and this is extremely annoying. I understand why this is happening since on HC 3.1 the launcher refreshes/restarts after installing/updating apps to make sure widgets are updated, etc. HOWEVER, Sense takes too long to restart where as the stock HC 3.1 launcher is fast.
Anybody else having issues?

I have the original market that came with the phone (didn't look right to call it the 'stock market' )..and I still have the same issue. Sense always reboots after any install.

Not experienced any issues at all with the Market - old or new

I got new market no issues.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

Using the market that came stock on the phone and no restarts with any app install or exit of the market.

Hmm. So it's a mix. I wonder what causes it then, maybe having a certain app or widget installed?

I have problem with sense restarting but not sure if its after an app install..

What ROMs are people using? Do you have apps disabled with temp root?
I'm on the one on my sig and not temp rooted so no apps disabled

I get a sense reboot most times but not all. Most of the time when I install an app from the market and press back multiple times before the software catches up, it reboots. And just now. I uninstalled an application, and hit the back button and sense reboots. And if I just view the market, browse around and hit back to exit, it didn't as well. Maybe it's sense's way of soft rebooting?

It keeps happening, it's driving me crazy. Happens on installs, uninstall and updates.

Complete stock, never rooted or anything..

This happened on my wildfire. It had something to do with the app being installer onto the SD card.

I am on the market that came with the phone and no issues how did u get the update?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

I do not recall Sense restarting on the original market. With the new market I have seen it happen 80% of the time. For me though it seems to happen if I either go through things too fast or spend to long within market. If I pop in and out I have not seen a reboot yet. Not something I have really tried to force just what I have seen thusfar.
Edit: Phone is stock

I uninstalled the new market, doesn't seem ready for prime time or the would have a update in the market. It didn't show updates for me.

Do you guys have the Spare Parts app installed and changed the way it manages memory? I changed it to aggressive and Sense would restart each time I hit the home button. I changed it back to normal and it hasn't happened since.
If you guys haven't, then maybe try installing it and manually changing it to normal.

Was the new Market for me. I uninstalled it and it seems to have fixed the issue.

Skyrocket lags

i have a new skyrocket , well under my 30 days they replaced it because of screen then over heating issue , this one lags , i noticed the lag mainly in the text massege app, anyone have the same issue or did i get a 3rd bad phone ? my last one lagged as well , just wanna make sure if they got a batch of bad phones?

Try flashing a custom ROM. Ive never had any lag problems.

what LAG are you speaking of.....scrolling?, Loading?, be more specific so others can say if they had/have that problem.
personally i have not seen ANY lag on this phone until i installed Go Launcher<<<
which will will cause some lag.

What I mean is a freezing when I go to my text masseges. It will lock for a second. I only have 3 apps. Nothing in the background running

may just be a glitch sort of thing......unless your last one was having the EXACT same lag with the messeging. i would say load up a ROM or even reflash the stock rom that you have and it may go away.

Thats No lag. It's take a sec or two to open. The cpu needs time to react.

2 seconds to open an app IS LAG......lol
weather its an app drawer or messaging, mine opens in just under a sec everytime..........
but im on a custom ROM and using ADW Ex.

It's not even 2 seconds. It's like it's hanging up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Does it lag during calls and hang up?

That's so weird... as soon as I press messages, it snaps into action and is open before I can even react.
There's something obviously wrong with that one. Try rooting it and running a custom ROM, if that doesn't help, then exchange it.

No lag here.. rooted and stock rom and overclocked... Insane speed..

Well it doesn't do it all the time now. But my.original one did it too. It's way less than a second. It must of been all in my head because everything else works very fast so I think I'll wait till I see my update to the 2.3.6 & go from there.

Problem Fixed . called texh support explained whats wrong & they were very nice even though i was over my 30 days by 3 days , they called a store went off on them because they denied me the exchange & told them to do whatever i want done because they have to make me happy . LOL so i went & said I've had it with the black one & got the white one & couldnt be happier , thank you all for all the help

i think there isn't lag but it's slower coming from an i9100.
scrolling isn't as smooth, and the messaging app is a little funky at times too.
but idk the difference is negligible they're both awesome phones

Flash Sky Ice Cream Sandwich Rom is Amazing!

Mytouch 4g slide keeps freezing

Hey all, i don't know if there's already a thread about this but i did a quick search and didn't really find one about my problem.
Anyways, my girlfriend has a mytouch 4g slide and it keeps freezing on her. If she's in a call, she can stay in the call but won't be able to hang up or use the screen in any way until a restart. She is completely stock. This is the second mytouch for her with the same problem. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Well when I was stock, I never had any problems like this. I have heard about people having screen freezes with regards to the call screen, however. It could easily be one of the apps that she downloaded. It might be worth it to try a factory reset if the problem is persistent. Not to mention that sounds like a pretty annoying issue.

Yeah, we tried a factory reset before and it didn't work.

Huh, I talked to her more about this issue and it seems that it only freezes during a call. She didn't realize it until I asked her specifically about it. So any way to fix this issue.

If a factory reset doesn't solve your problem, you have two options:
Root and install a custom rom (could be a stock rom problem, even though it shouldn't be)
Get it replaced under warranty

is the device completely frozen, or can she get the screen to turn on by pressing the trackpad or something? come to think of it, the sensor doesn't seem to work perfectly on my device, so sometimes when i want to hang up a call, i need to press the trackpad to get the screen to turn on. i have never had the device become totally unresponsive tho.

Well, she says the screen is on but nothing happens when she taps it. The only way so far to get her phone to work again is a battery pull.
This is already a warranty replaced phone for the same problem. I would root her phone, but she is in San Francisco and I'm not. She is also not very tech savvy so she can't do it herself.

Have her try using GO! Dailer/Contacts. I know this issue is based within the Call Out screen. But try using GO! It can also an out of Ram issue. On stock, the more widgets you use. The worse the phone gets. You'll see that HTC Logo all the time. My Uncle has this phone, and he's 100% stock. He gets freezes, and the HTC Logo screen after every app. Since the phone has the highest priority in a call, in can be using to much RAM. Then the phones doing a Rosie reboot with out the HTC scrreen.
If she wants to. Install Zeam Launcher. She won't have any Sense widgets. But it'll free up about 120Mb of Ram. Then place the call, and see if it lags.

After a warranty replacement for my old phone, I haven't had time to fight rooting and have been experiencing similar issues... Memory mgmt seems to be cause. Ive removed some apps and it has reduced issues.
On initial use of phone, I reset it, inserted a full battery and followed the general "let it set" rules for a fresh rom install. At first, all was great, everything worked perfect. But as I added apps, it grew less stable. Also seeing phone freeze when rebooting into recovery... Eek. Tried multiple sd cards, batteries, to no avail.
Gonna call for another replacement. Ugh. Wrty is up in a couple months...

I've had a couple of freezes happen to me during phone calls and I realize what the problem was. It was apps automatically downloading in the background from the Play Store. If an auto update for apps is happening and I receive a phone call at the same time my phone will become unresponsive for a few minutes.

So this GO! Dialer, would it help with the freezing issue? I don't see how using another app would help with the memory issue. Does Zeam Launcher require root?

Sense getting very slow, restarts itself sometimes

Hi Folks
I have a stock HOX, over the last month or two sense has been getting veeerrrryy sloooow, so slow that when flipping between home screens I actually have to stop and wait as the screens judder across. This usually happens when I start using the phone after not haveing interacted with it for an hour or two or when it has just been turned on if it was off for some reason...
Most of the slowness goes after a couple of minutes, except for on the home button, most of the time I press it and nothing hapens so I press again and again, then all of a sudden all the home presses act at once at the screens start flipping around like crazy!
Also if the phone is on charge and screen is off I usually have to press the power button several times before the screen will trn on again...
Another issue that seems to also be cropping up is, especially while on charge, the phone will jsut turn itself off! Sometimes itwill restart again by itself, sometimes it doesnt!
Anyone have any solution to get my phone back in good health?
Ta

Bah! Egg on my face! Clearly I didn't read attentively enough.
My apologies. Your options are to factory reset or RUU, if neither of those work, It's a hardware issue.

Factory reset. I would also try another launcher to see if it behaves the same. I (still) have problems with sense being choppy but ONLY when I use the Yahoo mail official app, for some reason slows down the system considerably. I stopped using it all together and use the stock sense mail app and everything is going well now. You might have a rogue app, so i would try a reset.
