Well I got my phone a little over 2 months ago. I have the HTC Evo Design 4G on Boost Mobile. Running ICS.
Android Version 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version 3.6
Well a few weeks ago i had my phone stuck in a boot loop. Well needless to say ever since then its been acting funny. I got it out of the boot look my going into the HBoot and doing a factory reset. Well that worked for a little bit then my phone would kinda reset itself. like when you first turn your phone on and it sets the desktop up. I know not the right words to use. But anyways it did that for a while. Now my phone just reset itself. Like i lost all my pics and lost all my custom ringtones. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue with their phone. I also get the voicemail icon come up randomly too. Even when I do not have a voicemail. Lately my phone seems kinda sluggish. I got it from best buy and got the protection on it too. I wanted to see if there is a fix or if this is a known issue with the device. Any help would be appreciated. If you need anymore information about the issue please let me know.

I lost my HTC Desire 2 weeks because the screen coating was messed up, when I got it back, it turned out that they didn't even fix the coating!
So I sent it back again to the repair service of HTC.
Screen looks all good now, and I even noticed they updated my android version to version 2.2!
The weird part is, my phone resets every few minutes, it doesn't matter if my 3G is on or off!
I hope you can imagine how frustrating this is, first lose your phone for 4 weeks, finally get it back and notice the software being flashed wrong, well at least that is what I think
I searched up google on this problem, and they said the problem got fixed when they sent the phone back to HTC to re-flash the phone, problem is, I really don't feel like waiting another 2 weeks just to use my phone!
I got the idea to just install a custom ROM on my Desire, but I don't even know if there is a decent one that has Android 2.2 AND HTC Sense interface.
Does anyone know if these are available? I would also like to know what you would do in my case, maybe it's just better to send it and have it fixed and all, but if I can do it myself, why not?

Okay, so a few weeks back I rooted my Atrix. All went fine. After a while i started having some major issues. I couldn't get a lot of apps, because my devise was not supported on the markets. I started getting dead spots in my screen, and it just started just glitching out all the time. Also, some apps that I KNEW were supposed to be on the market I couldn't find on my phone.
Today I decided to factory reset. I backed up my contacts and photos to the sd card (for some reason it still deleted my photo's). I reset my phone. Now, I have a whole lot more problems.
Most of the dead spots are gone, I still have one, so that I will say is a non issue. I cannot update my phone. There is an update waiting for me to install, but when my phone goes to do it, it installs about 2/3rds of the way and then rolls back. No clue why, it just says the update cannot be installed.
Firefox and facebook (and others, these are just the ones I use the most) are non existent on the market place. I know they exist, but i cannot find them. I really am not sure why, but this is annoying. Apps are force closing all over the place.
I know there are other things wrong with it, I just can't think of anything else without bursting a vessel.
My phone has basically become useless. I am really tempted to see how many pieces I can get my lawnmower to turn it into. Any help at all will be very appreciated!
Oh, I have an ATT Atrix.
same thing happened to my sisters atrix

Hi,
I tried to upgrade my ROM on my Motorola Defy, quite a while ago now. Once completing all of the steps and the new OS was installed everything seemed to work fine, however I couldn't get a signal from my phone. I reset to factory and still, no signal. Luckily I had just bought the phone, had a very friendly salesperson, and he just swapped the phone out for a new one, no questions asked.
I have recently been getting the bug to root my phone again. However, I'm scared to death that I'm going to fudge it and be left with the same issue. I never really found any info as to why the phone did what it did, or how easy it would have been to fix. I'm wondering if anyone has come across this problem?
Thanks!

As of a few days ago, my inspire has learned a new trick.
but before I explain what is going on, heres the situation im in.
Ive Been running Icecoldsandwich for about a month now with some random UI/hot reboots here and there which is to be expected, no big deal.
however as of about 3 days ago, my inspire started to fully reboot from the white HTC screen, Werid, but **** happens so i ignored it.
Now it is doing this about every half hour,no matter what, i dont even have to touch the damn thing and it does this. Im Beginning to think its a hardware issue.
Heres what Ive tried so far
-battery pull (nothing)
-was using BLN which uses more power in standby so i upped voltages a bit (nothing)
-disabled BLN (nothing)
-disabled/enabled start up tweaks (getting desperate)
- restored an old backup of black ice which never had this issue ( STILL REBOOTED WTFF)
-some other stuff that i cant remember
Now i have an PD98IMG.zip on my sd card which was made when i originally rooted my phone and am about to restore that, but I have a feeling that wont help.
The only thing i can think of is that its a hardware issue, because after restoring that backup this issue shouldve disappeared and Im really at my wits end. SO before i throw the damn thing across the room and smash it, can anyone PLEASE help me out.
Im not new to the whole rooting game so dont treat me like a noob, ive been messing with this phone for a while now and this is the first time ive had an issue like this, which seriously appeared out of nowhere for no reason. Ive been on Ice cold sandwich for over a month now and this just started.
Thanks for any help/advice, If anyone has encountered this issue please contact me
PS: sorry to make a thread about this but ive searched both inspire &desire hd forums and came up empty handed.
You didn't mention anything about your micro sd card. Will it boot without the card inserted or using a different card freshly formatted? Corrupt cards or cards that are almost full can cause hair pulling issues.
Hmmmmm. That's a very good point you bring up there. My cards got over a gig left on it but hasn't been formatted since I rooted the phone.
I suppose I'll try that though since im out of options.
since I had to make it a "goldcard" will there be anything I need to do after I format it to make it work correctly?

Also, it does boot without an SD card, I'll see if it turns off with it out

Does not matter if it is a gold card. Will not affect anything. If your phone does not reboot with the card out then most likely it is going bad, has corrupt files, has apps or widgets moved to it that really should have been left on the phone. Or you used a backup app to restore system files that may be causing issues.
If having the card out allows your phone to run without reboots I would format that card, wipe that phone, reinstall a ROM and start clean and fresh.
This behavior could also be caused by a bad battery. Are you still using the original? A lot of them were pretty crappy.
well It still reboots with no sd card in it so I suppose it isn't that.
As for the battery, it is the original and that would make a lot of sense cause I leave it on the charger a lot.
my sister has the same phone so ill have to swap batteries and see if that makes a difference
thanks for the advice guys, I'm months from an upgrade so I really need to get to the bottom of this.

If it does turn out to be the battery, I would recommend an Anker brand replacement. They are pretty good and cheaper than the Seidio ones.
well I can rule out the battery cause I switched them and it continues to reboot.
I'm beginning to think it's the radio because it doesn't seem to reboot in airplane mode and it seems to reboot more when I'm driving, perhaps when switching towers.
I'll experiment with a few different ones and see what I get

okay everyone well its been some time now & I am still dealing with the same BS.
It has recently come to my attention that im not the only one dealing with this problem so I want to refresh this thread & perhaps get some new advice & options.
heres where I stand:
ive tried everything from roms-radios-batteries - everything in between. adjusted voltages, & every single setting available.
What ive found so far is that this issue is almost definitely signal related, when in airplane mode my phone Does not reboot.
ive also been advised that removing the sim card stops the reboots as well.
ALSO, I turned off 3g/4G for a few hours with only 1 reboot.
however I feel that was due to a different reason cause normally my phone reboots at least once every hour if not more.
im losing my mind & am about to smash this POS if I cant figure something out.
Is it possible its ATT related?
Should I return to stock? (unroot) -(really wanna avoid that)
WTFF. please, someone help! im going nuts!
Again any advice would Def be appreciated, & if anyone else has this problem please chime in & state your position.
sorry for the long post, (trying to be thorough)
& Thanks in advance

I have done a few searches here and been searching all night. My company is moving from Sprint to Verizon and as our salesforce si out in the field I selected the razr maxx for the battery life.
I got mine yesterday as I am the systems admin and started to play with it. My fault for what happened totally but I'm hoping soemone here can help me.
I installed a Launcher Pro based "HTC Sense" clone, an HTC sense flip clock and the Agile Locker. After this I got the update for 6.5.1-73_SPU-11M1-2, (Im guessing thats right as I took it from the screenshot http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Jsh9vl.jpg?139d23 there, but Im fairly certain it was 6.5), The phone totally froze on the Dual core boot screen. It was like that all night as I passed out. When I woke up I foundf out how to hard reset the phone (http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=49625). I then tried to uninnstall the apps but the phone signal and 4g was shut off and the live wallpaper (stock one) was all funky. I decided to factory reset it. I factory reset it but not the memory card.
After all of this its still freezing totally (right after I skipped the verizon remember my contacts stuff) so I got back into it and reset it again.
This is where I am now. I am going to try to set it up again, but if it keeps freezing thats not gonna be good.
On another note, I would LOVE to try ICS on it, but I dunno if thats such a great idea on a phone that seems to be broken despite factory resets.
Im sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area. Please let me know if I should repost or move my post. Thanks in advance for anyones thoughts or help!!!
EDIT: I have factory reset it and its still frozen. I am going to have to return it.
