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?

Hi

Had the same issue along with Apps FC'ing. Tied Factory Reset as well as an RUU update but nothing worked. Returned the unit and got it replaced. The new one is working just fine.

Had the phone for over a fortnight not encountered this issue myself.
Have you tried removing any self-installed apps and seeing if this still occurs? Could be one of the apps causing the problem.
nope.. i didn't - but I only have "standard" apps.. so they just need to work.. otherwise i cannot use the phone..
I haven't had any random reboots yet, have had it for 4 days now. How often does it reboot?
I had it about once a week
Mine reboots a lot, but only when Im doing something. Just minutes ago when I was using the browser, and just before when playing some game. Also it stayed all night in some kind of rebooting state, had to unplug the battery.... Had also to remove an unlock app that I think it was causing constant reboots...
It has original os.

oh no... not again!
I went through 4 Desire HDs because of the reboot problem. You would think HTC would sort this on their newer devices. It was a well known problem in the past and recognised by HTC too.
This also affects Legend, Desire, Desire HD and now Desire S
I have my desire hd for three weeks and it rebooted only one time and that was caused by poor irc app. Perhaps you should first uninstall your crap apps before bashing htc?

are there any RUU files there that we can flash to have the phone s-off?
I have the same problem in my phone it restarts 3 times in the first day
really I am fried its general problem from HTC
pls anyone can advise me what I do
For me, HTC Sense have restarted maybe 5 times in the last 2 weeks. It is not a complete reboot, but some error in HTC Sense that requires a restart of the software. I have sent reports using HTC Tell and the error is an exception regarding some bitmap that does not fit in memory. I guess this will be fixed eventually.
We haven't got that issue ever, Maybe you can refresh your device with other customized ROM.
I've had this problem, seems to be with HTC Sense itself since it's not a complete reboot and it recovers fairly fast. All the more reason to root and flash Cyanogenmod when an exploit and build comes out, this is my first Android phone and I'm not really enjoying Sense at all.
I suspect it might have something to do with memory card access. I plugged it into my laptop through removable disk mode and got an error message, and noticed it crashed when I tried to launch gallery which obviously accesses the memory card to find pictures etc.
So far I've sorted out memory card errors and I've removed all Sense widgets from the home screen and I don't seem to have any problems anymore!
For me this seems to somehow relate to alarm / clock settings, usually reboots shortly after this...
I had a reset when I was talking for more than 5 minutes
I've noticed it seems to stop when I'm using one of my own wallpapers, not an HTC Sense one.
Need help please! I'm experiencing random deadspots on the touchscreen of my Desire S. But the thing is this "Dead zone" seems to show only on the keyboard when I'm typing. When I press a key , it doesn't respond no matter how hard I press it. This mostly occur on the letter "A" and "N" on the keyboard.
I don't know if this is hardware or a software issue because Locking the phone and immediately unlocking it solves the problem. After waking the phone again, the so called dead zones are gone.
Btw, I mostly experience this issue when using Virtuous 2.37 and MIUI rom. CM7 didn't gave me this problem, so is it possible that this is just a rom related issue? thanks!
I have been experiencing the exact same thing. Except it is always on 2 letter keys that are next to each other. It has only done it a handful of times, but I'm worried incase its a hardware issue.
Anyone got any ideas?

Which keyboard do you both use?
If by chance it's the same one I think that you're answered your question.
Try changing keyboard set if it still happens

i had this problem when using swiftkey x, when it was hppening it was keys a and s not responding so i switched to the stock htc keyboard. the keys then moved to c and v...
very odd
I already tried different keyboards, Swift, Android keyboard, Gingerbread, Perfect keyboard and now touchpal.
I encounter this problem only for two keys, letter "A" and "N" .. I have no idea if this is a hardware issue, But i remembered that it never happened to me while using CM7 rom.

i wish some1 knew if this is a hardware issue or not... the most annoying thing is that its intermittant. i have only have it happen a total of 5 or 6 times in the last 2 months. it lasts for a few minutes then goes back to normal
Having dissassembled the phone many times.. me thinks it is not hardware. If it was it would be persistent. Try this and report back: download nicky paint from market and try to paint the whole screen with the brush. Failure of the touch screen connector (which causes dead spots) appears in horizontal 1 cm zones in the whole width of the screen

I've downloaded an app called touch test. I think this does the same thing. I wonder why it keeps happening though. It's really annoying not being able to trace it to a particular cause.

Try Flashing This..
Flash it (Keyboard_Flashable.zip) If You like the original htc keyboard without arrows..
May be the prob is with ur ROM..
I wish there was some definite way to tell if it's a hardware fault or not. With me it's always 2 keys that are next to each other. Done it about 3 times now. 1st it was letters a and s. Then g and h. Then then yesterday x and c.

Hi,
I was using my phone HTC ONE S, and suddenly the 3 bottom buttons stopped working?
Iv tried a factory reset, holding all 3 for 5-10 seconds etc but nothing is happening, it lights up etc fine but no response what so ever.
anybody else have this issue?
unbelievable, after 4 factory resets and messing around, i install smart task-bar so i can actually use the phone . 20-30 mins into using it out of nowhere the soft-keys at the bottom kick bak into action, im so baffled
If I were you I would report this to HTC
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app
yh ill message them about it.
Do you guys reckon its a software or hardware problem?
madness, the problem reoccured, the Buttons work flawlessly, then suddenly will cut out, it makes no sense :S.
Ill contact HTC about it but if theres an easy solution which means me not going without a phone for a week while they repair, would be great :/
Does a restart fix the problem? If not I'd imagine it being a hardware fault.
But you could try to factory reset the thing and see if that helps.
Are you on stock rom/kernel or custom? rooted? recovery? Changed hboot or anything?
haven't rooted or anything, the factory reset doesn't work either , after a while it will just return to life until the next time they decide to become unresponsive.
Iv contacted HTC, but i expect replies to be slow over the xmas period
Just got my handset about a week ago. Got an update to 5.02 and OK Google seemed to be working fine until a couple of days ago whereby I have now noticed that it's not there anymore.
Just me then?
Same here

Im amazed more people have not noticed or had anything to say about it. I can recall something about it being removed when the handset was first released because of battery issues I think it was but then I understood it to be real activated.
Now all of a sudden it's gone again.
Might want to uninstall updates and reinstall, it's still there just reset my phone couple days ago ago and set it all up again today.

Seems like actually it's still there.
It just does not show on the search widget anymore but if I give the command it works.
