My phone worked perfectly for a few days with ADP1.5H r3 on it, but now it refuses to boot, it seems to be looping forever. The blue android logo comes up, but the "shining" animation stops moving after usually 1-2 seconds, then the screen flashes back and the same thing repeats over and over again. I have already tried a wipe earlier, but now I'm having the same problem again. Any clues on what causes this or (better) how to fix this?

Are you doing Apps to SD? It could be your card.
Did you move any caches?
Do you have any nandroid backups? (just fastboot flash if so)
Did you recently try to update to anything and fail?
Try to use the update.zip again. If that doesn't work then start over from scrap.

Wipe worked for me. It was sticking on the Android flash screen, but worked after the wipe.
Yeah, a wipe fixes it. Later today I stumbled upon a thread which suggested the problem is the "Contact Owner" app that doesn't play nice. Can anyone confirm that?
In answer to binary: yeah I do apps on SD but I've been doing that since ADP1.1, so I doubt the card is the problem. Didn't move any caches. Yeah I have a nandroid backup, and all the updates I did went smoothly. I had the whole system working for about 2 days until this happened (probably, because this was the first time I rebooted since installing Contact Owner, though I can't really remember that 100%)

Contact Owner caused my phone to go into a reboot loop, but that was on the 5.02H build. I haven't had the guts to try it on JF1.5 or 1.5Hr3. If you look through the market comments for Contact Owner you'll see quite a few complaints of the same issue.
Hi there,
And sorry for reviving this old thread. I am the developer of Contact Owner an I kinda need your help in debugging this issue. I got a small number of messages from users of custom builds a while ago (about a month or two) but thought it was an issue with those builds.
Now it came back to bite me in the ass, as it seems the HTC builds in various countries (Canada, Sweden, South Africa) have the same issue: the phone goes into a reboot loop. I've tried (and failed) to install a custom build on my dev phone (almost bricked it) so I'm going to ask nicely if someone is willing to debug the issue for me. Please, please, please!
All that's needed is to install and run Contact Owner and if the device goes into a reboot loop, simply attach it to USB, run 'adb logcat' and then post the output. To recover from the reboot loop, simply start in 'safe mode' (hold Menu down while booting) and then uninstall Contact Owner.
I suspect the problem lies in SQLite, because I've seen similar complaints from Klaxon users and that app also sets the alarm message (which then ends up in a SQLite db, I guess). The Alarm Clock app that comes with Android also does that but I imagine it's because the message set by Alarm Clock is always short and has no newlines. I also don't think the issue is in Dalvik code, because the device should not crash if managed code causes an error.
TIA,
Paranoid Android.
Had a strange problem happen just now, my phone was acting wierd and lagging, I decided to reboot, when the phone finished booting a small transparent box in the bottom left corner said "Safe Mode". Seemed like everything was working fine however the text would not go away. Anyone had this problem running a 2.1 ROM?
Just want to see if this could lead to other problems or if anyone may know what caused this?
BTW. I'm running Darch's 2.1 v4.1 Legend ROM since it was released and this is the first time that this happened.
I have had this as well. I rebooted and it went away.
I've been searching this form for an hour or two now and still haven't found my issue, so here goes.
Just got an HTC Inspire 4G off of ebay and it arrived today.
The seller had mentioned that the phone was freezing / rebooting, but I figured.. that's because he's not running cm7, right?
Charged and booted up the phone and it turns out that the problem was a little worse than I first expected. I only experienced occasional freezing, and it only rebooted once, but there is a worse problem.
The phone loaded up fine, looked good, but tapping around on the home screen I got messages alerting me that system apps (htc sense, launcher, and even com.android.phone) had stopped responding or had shut down.
I hit the menu and go to settings. I scroll down the list and the entire list goes black. I hit home and it goes to a home screen, but with no launcher or icons. Basically, every few taps, the interface goes out. If you are on a menu it blacks out, if you are at home or press home after the menu blacks out you will get anywhere from pieces of icons / widgets to just a blank desktop. The live wallpaper even keeps going, but all of the interactive stuff quits. The disappearing menus didn't usually give app closed messages, they just went black. The home screen only gave app closed messages sometimes.
I thought this was a software problem, so I managed to root the phone and flash cm7. Everything booted good, but it still had the same problem of weird disappearing menus and home interfaces. I went ahead and flashed gapps and got the little intro thing about setting up my Inspire 4g that starts when you first boot your phone. I clicked through that but when it gets to connect wifi, the phone entirely freezes and I have to pull the battery.
I flashed inspiremod and nothing changed, tho that's for something else, so I'm not sure that's entirely relevant, but I was trying everything I could think of.
I'm definitely no expert on hardware, but it almost sounds like a ram problem, like it doesn't have enough to keep all of the interface going all the time and shuts it down or shuts parts of it down to work.. but I don't want to believe that. I'm really hoping that it's a software problem.
I got the phone at a good price and it came with an otterbox, so I won't be too disappointed if I can't get it fully functional, but it would still be a bummer.
Any help / advice / suggestions appreciated. Thanks, guys!
EDIT: I cleared the cache / dalvik cache before flashing / reflashing cm7, which I did once or twice
EDIT 2: Now if I leave it on the intro screen where it freezes it reboots after a minute or so. Gonna try flashing a different mod.. see if that helps.
That was a long post. But it was good, you gave a lot of info.
The cm7 zip that you downloaded, check the md5 checksum, make sureit matches whatever is in the op (first page) or wherever the md5 is, maybe where you downloaded it from. If it doesn't, download again.
Then,
from recovery,
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions(except sd card)
Flash zip/rom.
Check if it works. If not, try using it without the sd card. If not, come back and report.

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.
I check the md5, and it's good. I just did a factory reset and wiped cache and dalvik.. I'm unsure what you mean by format all partitions except sd card. I don't think I know how to do this with clockworkmod.
Started up without sd card and it still has the same problem. Looks great until I touch the screen, then everything disappears except the wallpaper.
Reboot in recovery and do it from there. You'll find format all partitions at the bottom... well, maybe. Cwm has an option to reboot in recovery, and I think if you press and hold the power button, select reboot and it will also ask you if you wantto boot into recovery. Cant remember if cm7 has it, it should.
After you wiped those, flash the rom. Stay in recovery and search for fix.permissions. Reboot.

Just did that and re-flashed cm7, but the phone was still having the same problems.
I then repeated the process with a MIUI ICS rom and it seemingly worked for a little bit. I got a "Maps has stopped working" message, but I was able to slide back and forth through the home screens, and the menu came up. After I tapped though the menu a bit it started being weird again, but with MIUI the weirdness is different. It looked like the screen was divided up into 20 something smaller screens tiled across the display with messed up looking bits of screen in them.. weird..
If you are wiping correctly then I am out of ideas. I would say try a GB rom, however that is a strange issue and just might be a hardware problem. Tough, Im not sure.

I've tried cm7, which is 2.3, and I've tried a 4.0.4 MIUI build and one other sense rom that didn't work well at all.
I'm wiping and flashing the same as I did on my LG p509, which works beautifully with cm7.
If it is hardware, hopefully it's something simple like the battery, and not bad RAM or anything serious..
Maybe if I keep at it I'll get it.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Np. Keep us updated.

I ordered a new battery for it, and that fixed the random reboots, which had been occurring more frequently, but the other problems were still there.
I flashed and re flashed and formatted and reinstalled a bunch, but still no luck. I then decided that I might take it by the local cell phone repair shop and see if they could fix it.
In preparation, I used aahk to flash the stock ruu with everything how it was when I got it. After booting it up, it seemed to be working ok.
I still get the occasional menu glitch, but it's so infrequent it's not an issue.
The phone still freezes up quite a bit when I'm using it, but it's nearly a useable device now!

Have you tried changing out the sd card? Having a bad sd card can cause all inds of odd issues
I booted it without an sd card before and couldn't tell the difference, but it had a lot more issues than just freezing then.
I haven't tried it since those other issues have stopped. I'll try that when I get home from work.
So Ive been having issues with my Htc One X and I decided to send it back to Htc (through warranty) to fix the issues... The following are issues I have encountered with the phone on Jb..
Phone randomly reboots after selecting an app
Background Wallpaper would just disappear and turn black
I would select to use an app such as Instagram for example, and it would pop up for a second but then go back to home screen each time
Text messages would come hours late but say received at an earlier time
Keyboard would disappear when texting
Signal would drop to no signal because the phone is "preparing sim" (like when it first comes on) (which is randomly)
Htc Sense would randomly close along with process com.android..etc. (see picture for screenshot, notice task bar has also diapered. )
After the pop up notifications of Htc sense or whatever crashing or stopping I would have to press ok like 50 times to get it to stop popping up..or try to hurry up and restart before it comes back up
Can anyone explain what's going on??????? I have sent my phone to Htc multiple (at least more than 5) times to be fixed and before this time it was a refurbished device because they messed up my usb port on my original phone. I do not run a lot of apps and even with some apps uninstalled it still continues to act like this and I would usually have to restart.. I wish I could unlock boot loader and flash new ROM to fix it.. but they always send it with Jelly Bean installed from stock.
That's quite a collection of issues! Since the phone is bone stock, I'd just try a factory reset, then installing a minimum of apps, and see if the issues still occur. Or run the phone in Safe Mode, and see how it behaves. If its still acting up, send it back again.

Could not honestly tell you, maybe it is some setting you have on the phone. Or may be it is a genuine hardware issue that needs to be repair or replaced. If you sent it 5 times, you should be able to get a brand new phone. I know with AT&T, after the third time, they will replace the phone with a comparable phone
I seem to have really strange issues with this phone.
I've tried both C-Rom and Cyanogen and both of them have these same issues.
When I first turn on the phone, it will run, but everything will stutter around at about 1-2 fps for about 2 minutes. I can confirm that this happens even with no 3rd party apps installed.
Secondly, half the time when I go to grab the phone and just check notifications and so on, I'll unlock it and try to press something and it'll be frozen. I have to wait about 2 minutes before I can do anything else on it. The only thing I can do in this time is lock the screen, but not unlock it. I can tell it frozen at a low level because I have a system setting in C-Rom to play a sound when the battery dis/reconnected and that doesn't play while it's in this state. Has anyone else been experiencing this? I've already completely wiped the phone completely once using the return to stock guide and these issues have not been resolved.
Had the same problem with stock ROM or tried with GPE? Might be a hardware problem...

Are you still having these issues or did you find a fix for them? I have the Boost Mobile one, but are you suggesting that I could/should put the GPE ROM on here?
Isn't this a memory usage ( ram ) problem that's been mentioned?
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app
The first part (FPS issue) happens to me, whe the phone boots, the FPS go down, bad, but the phone works ok, if i put the stopwatch app (CM11) time runs normally but the screen refreshes every half second or more.
Now, the second problem, about the phone freezing whan it wakes up, never happened to me, but i have to recognize that i had a few (2 or 3) reboots just when i waked up the phone and one time it just freezed with the screen off.
