I've read in other forums of this problem but have not been able to find a solution (not entirely true).....when I turn the phone on in the morning, it just keeps restarting without going to the home screen. Sometimes it take 2 reboots sometimes more. The only way it will boot up correctly right from the start is to take the mem card out, so I think that's probably the problem, but it's not a corrupt or problem card. Once the phone starts and I put in the mem card all is fine.
I want to try to format the memory card from the phone, but don't know how to. Anyone else know how to do this? Also any other suggestions or solutions?
I got this once. Somehow i got the phone on. I just took the card out and put it in when its about to restart. Mabye it was luck, but i dont know. But if you get your phone on again, I would certainly format it (clear storage)
Does your phone ever act up again after that? Mine still does. It turns on fine without the memory card in. By the way, how do you format the memory card on the phone?
Mine rebooted all the time until I removed Facade. Hard Reset the phone and didn't install it and haven't had the problem since. I know Facade isn't "compatible" yet with WM6, but other than rebooting it worked fine.
Really....I'm going to try that and see what happens.
For those that have this problem, it's true. Once Facade is uninstalled and a soft reset, the problem went away....
I had this happnen to me for the first time today. I had the phone off all night (was testing another device) and then when I put my SIM back in and powered up it went into this reboot cycle. powerd off, even took the battery out still no luck.
Then I took the SIM out and tried to power up and it came right up. Powered off and put the SIM back and it worked agian first time.
Not sure, but maybe the SIM was not fully seated... since this was the first time I actually took it out since I get the VOX...and this was the first time I had the problem...

I had the same problem, although I never installed Facade, Initially the phone was fine and the it started re-booting on startup. I saw a suggestion of running SKtools and removeing duplicates in the Notification table, this worked for a while, then it came back again.
At first the only cure appeared to be to re-boot without the sd card inserted - inserting it again after the phone was running (it even had the same problem with a blank card inserted)
I then read abot someone putting the phone in Flight mode before turning it off - this also solved the problem - better than removing the card each time.

After hard reset - lost option to store attachments on storage card
I had the same problem and solved it by hard resetting the device. However after the hard reset the option to user the storage card for email attachments has disappeared from the pOutlook options screen.
The SD Card is OK and I tried to solve it by a new hard reset, but it is still not resolved.
I would be very graefull for the one that has a solution for this.
I have the same problem with my SD card.
With the card inserted the phone keeps rebooting.
With the card removed it starts normally.
When I insert the card when WM6 is running the card is normal accessible.
Tried an other card and also a 1 Gb card. Same problem over and over.
I'm going to try a Kingston card.
If anyone has a solution, I'll be happy to hear it.
i have my microSD inserted when i power on my Vox but didn't have this problem. what rom version do you have? my rom version is 1.15.405.2.
I have a friend with a similar problem. Would appreciate any further input on this situation. Has anyone taken a look at Paul's (from Modaco) answer to soft reset loop????
Check it out and see if it does anything. Want to know if that'll fix it before I take the phone off his hands.
Hi all,
Like many Vox users, I've also suffered from this problem.
I've noticed two scenarios which helped me solve the "boot-loop". Hopefully they'll help others.
I once had a GPRS monitor application installed to my strorage card. Re-installing to the phones memory helped me.
Also, when I had bluetooth turned on, I powered down, powered-up again, and the phone booted okay!
I think theres a few variables involved in this, and no single "silver bullet". Hopefully HTC will provide an official fix soon.
Michael.
Friends,
Thats all humours. Don't need to remove/install any software. All work fine except you reboot and remove your SD card.
Its simple: if rebooting occurs, just remove SD card and once booted, reinsert SD card, simple! nothing else need to do.
Its true that its a bug with WM unfortunately; i don't know when would it be resolved.
i have tried to boot up with 512MB & 1GB sd card but never had this rebooting problem. Maybe you can let me know your current rom code version and i will try to verify the problem?
I have got the same problem my phone keeps on restarting...
when i put the mem-card after restarting it is being opened as storage card 2, and default storage card option asks for turning on the bluetooth.
Re: Rebooting of Vox
Hi,
Had this problem once (and drove me nuts!, I was out on tour, no PC access nothing).
I formatted the SD Card (Its always better to use a card reader and format it from a PC.
Another I had this problem (hope you are not as dumb as me ):
I use TPC and set it to ultra slow . So every time I booted up, the CPU was not simply powerful enough to cater to the power requirement and rebooted. I had to do a Hard Reset. Hope you have your contacts backup before you go for a hard reset

If you have bluetooth file explorer turned on, it will show as a storage card
i had it long time ago with one of the official htc roms.
The solution is to make loose the simcard-slot in the middle of the booting.
Vox will turn off.
Close and start the phone again.
It should be over then.
Re: Official ROMs
Yeah! The official ROMs suck! actually the best solution will be to switch to a custom ROM from Dr G/FH / fireburned, they are much much better feature wise/ battery backup wise and speed wise. I think HTC should try using one of those ROM as there official ROM
Hello,
Almost a year ago I purchased my Kaiser (an Orange Kaiser) ans started to flash my phone.
I have already used several ROM avaiable here: Dutty (sevearl versions), L26 (SEVERAL Versions), Hyperdragon, Mobile vista, etc, etc, etc. Have already tryed several versions of the Radio firmwares. 1.24, 1.57. etc. Also, have already tried almost EVERY Hard SPL avaiable and so far I had the same problem:
Few days after flashing the Kaiser starts do slow down its performence. For ex: I press the Call button and it takes 40 to 50 seconds to enter in the touchpad screen. Sometimes it don't even enter the the call screen.
It get worst: sometimes I get no signam from the phone even if i'm side by side to a antena (where any other phone have a strong signal).
The only solution: HARD RESET. I mean, after a hard reset it looks like its other phone. Strong signal, fast response.
I can't possible imagine that I'm the only one here with this kind of problem. Does anyone knows how to solve? Does anyone here knows ehy it happens?
PS: I have already tried configurations with diferent programs. I have already tried with and without S2L2, With or without HTC Home (most without), With and without pocket launcher, with and without today agenda and SPB calendar. Can only think that this is problem with something in the ROM or the radio since every single configuration had the same performance issues.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks

I had a faulty SD card that was giving me similar problems to this. I think it was due to Coreplayer and Audio Manager scanning the faulty SD card for music and the read speed was really really slow on the card. Everything would grind to a halt. I bought a new card and everything was fine after that. You could also try formatting or removing the SD card to eliminate the card being the source of the issue.... but you'll probably turn around a say you don't have an SD card
Good luck...
Yeah recently I got this issue. The filesystem on my SD card for corrupt somehow, and I was unable to access anything on it via activesync (my pc) and my phone.
So I just installed some prob( i forget the name) and formatted the SD card, then re-flashed. And since then it's been quick as can be
Hey guys,
I've been having this issue as well. I have not found it to be my storage card as i have tried 4 different cards. i have put the cards on my BJII and it works without issues. I also have found that with some of my early L26 Flashes i would just ride it out and it would work again.
However i have not had my HDIII Pro for that long but i'm hoping that it would would do the same.
If someone does find a link to what is really going on i would greatly appreciate the advice.
Thanks
Also, I actually believe if you text message a lot (i mean basically excessivly) as my brother does, the device will slow down.
He has my older Hermes, and he has unlimited texting, but within 2 weeks he would have sent 1500-2000 text messages and recieved about the same ammount.
By that time his phone would start lagging and being a pain, so I would usually just do a new flash (or hard reset), since deleting that many texts normally would probably take 48 hours haha.
Anyway when it gets re-flashed everything runs normal and fine. But whenever the phone gets cleared everything is smooth again
So maybe it's the amount of text/emails you have? Idk
Going to test the SD card. I have a 4Gb SD card but I'm actually only using 1,4 Gb, so I can use a 2Gb with no problem.
This going to take a while since the phone starts to slow down after three or four days, but I'll let you guys know if it solved.
Thanks!!!!

If you have a vista based machine, It will correct the filesystem errors automatically, and you wont have to reformat...
Works great for me, My desktop is VU64, and my lappy is MCE2005. All the flashing happens on the laptop, and transferring files to the SD (Music & Movies) via WMP happens on the desktop.
Idem
I have same problem.
I try to found confirmation in italian dedicated forum , nobody has had the same problem.
After any minutes where the kaiser freeze , i do not have the same problem.
As is autoconfigured.
Now i used selfmade rom (by official italian rom, and hardSPL 3.29).
Sorry for my bad english
Hi guys,
I am having a problem with my phone, i've researched everywhere but it seems that no one is experiencing the issue as me, or at least I couldnt find anybody.
The thing is that one day after syncing my phone, when I unmounted the sd card(in the correct way) and I inserted it in the phone, the phone started to freeze everytime I locked it, once I locked the phone it became unresponsie, everytime. I can turn on the display but it doesnt respond to touch, the digital buttons either. However, if I get a notification it does show up in the display, so the phone its not dead.
This behavior happens with every card I have, ive tried with 3 different cards and everytime I sync them to my mac my phone responds this way.
I did a factory reset, I wiped everything and installed different roms but the issue remains. I also formatted the cards several times.
For the phone to work correctly it has to be card-free or with a sd card that has never synced with my computer.
I uploaded a video to make the problem more understandable, Im really desperate so any help will be greatly appreciated,
thank you!!
Edit; Sorry, I dont know why the youtube thumbnail doesnt show up here,

If the issue only happen AFTER you sync it to your PC that would make me think to look at what files you are syncing and how you are doing it. What are you loading on to your sd card? What class is your SD card as I have seen cards with a class less then 4 can cause issues.
Yes I thought of that, im just syncing music, and its the exact playlist i've been syncing before with this phone. I did a virus scan and nothing. Maybe a file suddenly became corrupted, but there is no warning about that..
I've tried with class 6, class 4 and class 2, all with the same problems..
I forgot to clarify that yesterday I synced the same files and for a while everything worked perfectly, I was able to play my music, etc. But all of a sudden I opened the camera app and the phone freezed, It did this everytime until I removed the card...
I appreciate your help, thanks

Sounds like maybe the virus scan is not detecting it. Are you syncing it while the card is in the phone? I would try that with blocks of music until the problem pops up and then you can slim it down from there
zelendel, thanks for your help, I did try those things and the problem remains.
However after trying different things I discovered that the files are not the problem because I synced all my music wirelessly and everything worked perfectly. Until I connected my phone to my mac without syncing and unmounted the sd-card.
My guess is that there is a problem with the mount-unmount mechanism, it may be a hardware issue I dont know. Its weird, because once I unmount, the sd-card prepares and the phone identifies it, but after that I cant open any music application, camera, etc and once I lock and try to unlock the phone, it freezes as I stated before.. Im lost
What do you think? any ideas?
thanks again!
Same Thing here in Xperia mini St15i Please Helpppppp?!
bump. come on, no one? i cant run aosp roms because of this.

Sorry, something that is confusing....if you are unmounting your sdcard then that is why that you cannot open files..it is unmounted. What happens when u pull your sdcard out? unmount it from settings>storage and see how the phone behaves....if works smoothly then it might be a slot issue....
If your phone rooted?
Its stock rom? Hace u ever do something to ir? Probably its hardware problem.

Hello fellas
Same problem experienced here on two different Huwawei android phones -> sonic and ideos..gingerbread and froyo respectively.
Everytime the phones do sdcard I/O opps, all UI elements become unresponsive but bg tasks run coz they ring during incoming calls and texts.
The sdcard is the same...a 4gb kingston.
I know the sdcard works well because i've tested it more than once using H2testw 1.4 ....no flaws reported at all!
The card also works flawlessly on my nokia E63.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
sd card error ... guess so.
Hey there am too experiencing the same prob . When i insert the sd card class 2 the phone freezes , and becomes unresponsive until i remove the card ... Since dis post is about 2 yr old so guess there might b some solution to dis prob ... .... thankzz in advance
Hello.
just signed up, but have lurked and searched for a while.
I've recently updated my phone to the official ICS update.
And, i regret it. Loved it before, and should have gone with the old saying of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Phone is not rooted, and is on TMOUS.
radio is a pioneer deh-p6000ub
sd card is Lexar MicroSDHC 32 GB Class 10
I have searched here, and on google trying to find an answer to my problem, but to no avail.
I thought I had found it in the noob question thread, but nope.
Problem: SD card is giving me a lot of issues when plugged into my car radio's usb. I'm going to be as detailed as possible, so may be a bit of a read.
when first plugging it in, the phone doesnt recognize that its plugged in, stereo gives me "N/A USB" plug an unplug a few times and it works.
**already solved this first minor issue, apparently the phone has to be unlocked to register that the usb is plugged in now. wasnt like this in GB, minor inconvenience, but not a big issue.
once i get it connected it will register, and start playing.
then, while playing, it will randomly go silent for a second, then continue. will play at least one song all the way through while periodically going silent, then start the next, and after about 20 to 40 seconds, will just jump to a random song, play about 30 seconds of it, and jump again, rinse, wash, repeat. annoying.
When going through the menu's on the radio, its very slow. it takes about 10 seconds to load each folder name(one folder per line, 3 lines show on the screen at a time.)
Some albums will play fine for the most part, maybe just a couple of silent moments (we'll call it skipping.)
some albums are unplayable.
While listening to the music on the headphone jack, it works fine. no issues at all. only issue is that after plugging it into the usb, the phone itself no longer has saved where i stopped playing music previously through the headphones. always did before.
Probably related is the issues with the gallery. after being plugged into the usb and then disconnected, the gallery takes forever to load and be useable. cant access pictures or videos on the sd card for at least 30min to an hour. can take new pics and view them with no problem, but cant see the old ones. i can go through root explorer and access the pics on the sd card that way, but not the galler.
I have no need for a custom rom, i dont do enough fun stuff bc i dont have time. and the majority of what i use my phone for right now is music. and i cant use it for that bc of the usb issue. stock rom does everything i need it to at the moment.
What i have tried:
different cables.
I put the sd card into an old motorola droid i had thats still on GB and tried it on the car radio and it worked perfectly. no issues.
i did a factory reset to the sensation
i cleared the media app cache
did a soft reset.
deleted and completely loaded a fresh copy of the album that has given the most issue, changed nothing (was hoping that maybe that particular file was corrupt)
took the sd card out and reformatted it (the suggestion on the noob thread for slow sd card issues.)
tonight, i hooked it up to a completely different usb radio (dont know what brand, etc, it was) and it gave the same issues.
one difference was that after playing a song all the way through, it disconnected from the usb. and the phone showed that it was connected charge only, not disk drive.
this card is extremely slow on this phone, and i cant figure out why. been searching for over a week now.
i beg of you, help me before i break it. lol. i hate singing along to my favorite tunes at the top of my lungs in my car, and then the song cut off and having to hear how awful i sound.

While I am not sure how to help you with your USB music issues, I can help you get back to ginger bread if you like once you have s-off on your phone you could simply flash the firmware and ruu of your choice to have a stock ginger bread sense rom but, before we try that have you tried to clear the data from the gallery apk to see if it makes a difference? Also do you have USB debugging enabled? It sounds like your rom is having issues with mounting the sdcard efficiently. Do you have any apps that maybe trying to access the sdcard while it is unmounted, thus causing an issue?

I would suggest a simple solution of ruu... It installs fresh copy if ics.. But at the cost of losing phone data... It won't touch the sdcard though...

just cleared the gallery cache. USB debugging is not enabled, I enabled it for a couple days and it didn't make any difference.
no apps installed that should have any effect on sd card. running on bare min right now, less crap I'll have to reload after continuously resetting and deleting.
will save going back to gb as the last resort. would really like to enjoy ics, just this one issue I'm having.

will prob try this soon, at least before reverting back to gb.
one more thing I forgot to put in the first post:
the sd card is not encrypted as far as I know. and the encrypted sd card option is not selected in the storage menu. not sure if this has any bearing on anything, just thought I'd post it up just in case.
Well at this point a ruu would be the vest man for the job. Do you need a link to one or do you have one? If you need what's your network?

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid OK here is a link to all the ruus I can find for the htc sensation. And here http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...0U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_256085_signed.zip
Is the most up to date tmobus ruu that I can see. Make a backup of everything you can like text messages, ect. Anything on your sdcard will be safe. Once you ha e done that plug your phone Into the PC/laptop and run the ruu. It will flash the phone with the stock tmobus ics rom. And hopefully fix your issues good luck
Usual disclaimers apply, if you phone explodes, starts a revolution, Marrys a dog or leaves you late for work its on your head what you flash onto your phone is your call.

Hello all!
I have a runbo x5 mobile as work mobile.
first question, the phone have internal memory abour 500mb and another 2gb called phone storage, and also SD card.
Now to the problem, I cant move apps to sd card just between internal and phone storage. photos saves to SD card.
Im sure there is other phones whit this type of storage solution but have serched forum and cant find any.
then the other problem, there is alot of language for system. And I use swedish so far so good but when typing the spelling and input keyboard there is no swedish, not to big problem tho there is 3 keys missing åäö, you can get them by long press a or o but takes time when you type text msg.
So can you get more language to the phone or is it just w8 for update.
system runs a clean 4.0.4 android, vanilla some may call it.
hope someone has a tip or trix for this

Try and test app 2 sd(belive its called something else now) and see if the app can move the apps you installed to the sd card. I used it before with succes on phones with low internal memory. And try with a third party keybord(swiftkey, slideit) or long press on space to change the language on the keybord. If it dosen't come up a selection go into the settings for input and keybords and install swedish as language. Thinking of getting this phone aswell and if you have any input on the phone it would be appreciated.
Hoppas du får det att funka

Brilliant whit the keyboard, now åäö works and swe dictionary works fine :good:
Still no luck whit app2sd (appMgr3) that app just tells you what app you can move to sd or phone, and when you press a app you get derected to systemsettings/apps/phone storage. You can chose app and move it but just to Phone storage or internal Storage. so eather built in SD card or phone memory, not SD card in SD card slot. will search for more apps and diffrent type of app handling, tho i dont know if its possible.
You can move movies and photos whit any file manager to SD card but not the app, and only 2gb mem on phone.
otherwise the phone is a great one, i work as a farmer and therefor I need a rugged phone.
good sound quality on calls loud and clear, and all I have talked to says the noice canceller works good as well so they dont hear noice in backround (the phone has 2 mics one for backround noice and one to pick up what you say)
the phone is fast do to "vanilla" android and overall strong signal to gsm/3g net.
battery is amazing, heavy usage i still have over 60% left on battery in the end of a day, normalusage (5-10 calls @ 3-5 min, some sms and check mail) normaly uses about 10% battery in 8 hours.
just ask if there is something you wonder.

Sorry for not replying to the original questions, but it's related to the phone.
I am really interesting in getting one, especially for outdoor usage. I would love to know what GPS chipset is mounted on the unit, because I could not find any info about it.
Since it's probably impossible to discover that , I would kindly ask you: how long it takes for it to get a GPS fix with no GPS-A aid?
As far as you could tell, is the signal stable in woods and in canyons, even urban ones? I mean... road with tall buildings. Do you get an accurate coordinates reading there?
As far as you could test.
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I have been using the Runbo X5 for two weeks now - so this is not an extensive test.
I use it quite a lot to play ingress, and must admit the GPS has some hickups.
Sometimes it finds me in a few seconds, sometimes it needs a few minutes to find my position.
I had a HTC EVO 3D for 2 years before buying the Runbo, and while Runbo's GPS is clearly usable, it seems to me it has more glitches than the HTC's.
Again, I tested only one Runbo and it has only been for two weeks.

The GPS antenna is pretty good but it has been placed in a dumb position, that is bottom left.
It is thought to be kept horizontal, to be used as a car GPS.
This is junk for an OUTDOOR phone - I want to geocache with it, and the like. Just try it: hold your phone with your right hand when you have a good satellite fix.
Then swap hand.
Your fix quality will degrade instantly.
It is a oudoor phone for right-handed only.

If you still have this issue: I solved it by modifing two entries in /etc/vold.fstab files (you need to be root to do that). Just find the uncommented lines containing "scard" and "sdcard2" and swap those two words, then reboot. It worked for me and now my external SD is seen as the "external storage" as expected.
Remember to move your data from the internal storage to the SD before rebooting or apps would not find their data anymore - they will search for it into the SD now.
If you just want my copy of vold.fstab I can attach it here.
Cheers
