Has anyone experienced their TP crashing during normal operation, and found the only way to recover is through a hard reset?
That's what happened to me last night. I'm running a stock HTC ROM that I upgraded when it came out (two weeks ago?) and the device was working without any problems up until then.
Last night though I was using Opera to browse a website and it suddenly became unstable. I closed Opera and found it wouldn't re-start so I performed a soft-reset. From this point on the device wouldn't go past the boot screen (displaying 'HTC Touch Pro' with the red version numbers - not even getting to the animation). I attempted to soft reset a few times (and even removed the battery for a while) but it still would not boot.
So I performed a hard-reset and restored a backup, whereupon it now seems ok again.
To give a little more info:
- the device was fully charged (had been on charge via USB all day)
- TF3D not installed - standard WM6.1 with SPB Phone Suite installed
- Browsing over wifi (bluetooth and HSDPA connection were also active)
- Running Opera 15613
- Just before the crash, a bug appeared whereby typing a single character into a website textbox (using the slide-out keyboard) would cause that character to be repeated a large number of times on screen - this has never happened before
I've always run the device with the stock HTC ROM and never had any issues like this.
Anyone had anything similar happen?
Yep, just had to hard reset then restore sprite...I was trying to play a song through tf3d and it froze. Soft reset only lead me up to the first screen that states radio version...yaddah yaddah yaddah...hard reset 'solved it'.
Does your phone got hot?
I had a problem while browsing over wifi. To boost the speed i changed power manegment to best performance in wifi settings and phone got hot in few minutes, opera crashed and soft reset didn't help either. But for me removing betery solved the case and also cooling the device a little.
hope this helps

It gets warm sometimes, however in this case I'd only been using the device for a few minutes, so I think it was still cold.
I tried removing the battery but that didn't help.
Seems to be behaving itself since then though.
I got the same problem nearly every day. After a few hours (up to 12) it gets frozen. Only hardreset was possible. I got this problem since a view months. I'm trying now to leave one after another program not installed after every necessary hardreset. Currently i'm suspecting either WM6.5 itself, vAlert or some other mortscript apps. For now i don't installed vAlert and there is no crash since over 24 h.
The following programs are innocent:
- tf3d
- pointui
- SmsReportsEraser
Surprisingly enough, I had the exact same problem just the other day. I got my TP about two weeks ago and was still looking around here learning the ropes of flashing etc and the differences between it and the Mogul. I kinda liked the business card reader that came on the stock rom and couldn't find it as a cab anywhere so I was undecided on flashing a new rom. I also didn't like the TF3d so I wasn't running it. I was using the regular win today screen with spb weather and Phone Suite installed. Worked fine like that for over a week. I got a text message on Tuesday and the TP froze up, so I did a soft-reset. It got frozen on the boot screen just as you described. Fortunately I was able to in hard-spl from the micro disk to unlock it, then I installed NFSFAN's custom rom, also from the micro disk.
Not related to the topic, but I really like how that new rom functions. I added the telus radio as well and now the battery at least makes it through the work day. Before I had to charge it mid day! Only thing I miss is that stupid business card program from the stock rom. If anyone can point me to a cab I'd really appreciate it. I get so many cards its a pain to enter them all manually.
Thanks,

I just started having this problem a couple of days ago. This has happened twice now. Warm-booting did start the reset process (I would get the splash screen), but it never got past that.
i think theres a thread about this somewhere. The cause isnt known but they are trying to pinpoint the problem. Bad rom chip, software problem etc
I've also have been affected by this and its a pain... having to setup the device again.
Mainly this problem has to do with tf3d2 in my case as i try to save a contact each time it will free. So i have to manually enter a phone number and store it.
I guess its better than a hard-reset
I returned my old GS3 and got a new one today and I rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed TWRP all with the one click method from beanstown. Then, for the last 4 hours, I've been trying to transfer my rom file/gapps/kernel zips and they will not transfer and I feel like I've tried everything. The error I get is "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." This happened on my old GS3 but I was usually able to fix it with a reboot. And now it's doing it on my new GS3 stock rooted but reboots aren't fixing it. It obviously is a driver issue because it isn't working on my new GS3, but I've tried reinstalling the drivers to no avail. I've rebooted about a thousand times and it still isn't working. It basically starts copying, the green progress bar goes about an inch to the right, freezes for about 5-10 minutes, and then gives me the error message. What can I do to fix this? I know I can transfer through wifi but that'll make it take a long time and I might get a corrupted transfer, plus I want to get this to work
Well hooray I fixed it. The solution was to use a different usb port, which I tried about 4 hours ago but it turns out my third usb slot was the winner
Hi all. 1st post here.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my Galaxy Tab 2 lately. I rooted it a long time ago. Never had trouble with it. A few days ago, after charging it, I tried to start it, but when it starter, after a minute or so, it restarted. Normally the tablet only did that when it was froze due to many apps or processes being used at the same time. The problem is that the tablet never started properly after that one time. It's on some type of infinite loop. It starts, stays on for 1 or 2 minutes and then freezes and restarts. Well, i thought what most people would think at the moment: "I need to reset the tablet". I went to Recovery mod, made the format, but when the tablet rebooted, everything was untouched. No format. Odd to me. I then tried to return to stock. If it after that the problem was still there, at least I could be able to call for warranty. Odin gave me a lot of failed errors when I was trying but there was once that it said "Pass". Rebooted, still the same. Updated the recovery, tried to format, still the same. I'm running out of options right now. I don't really know what can be the problem and how can I fix it. I thought that if there was a way to format it like in recovery but using my PC it would do something (or not)
I appreciate any type of help.
Hi,
I have a iphone 3gs which i purchased from eBay long back and.. Long story short, now I have multiple problems :
1> The phone doesnt show/have the IMEI # and neither does any other details like firmware etc.
2> The phone randomly gets restarted continuously almost every 1min.
I tried replacing the battery thinking the issue with restart would be with the battery but still it doesnt stop. Due to this issue I am unable to install the IOS software as it gets restart frequently and the installation stops in the middle. I am now thinking it might be problem with the 30pin charger cable (viz., not genuine) that i am using but not sure. Can anyone help me on how to fix this issue of restart and to get back the IMEI# on the phone again. Any help or suggestion would be really great.
The situation is following: For two months the device worked flawlessly. Some time ago, my phone started to randomly hang and reboot. I was unable to find any pattern with these reboots - it could work through an hour of stability test and fail when I was reading a book. Lately, the situation got much worse - the phone may reboot many times right after OS boot up. I thought the problem is with my sd card, but when I removed it, nothing changed. I also tried to update the ROM I use(It was fulmics 2.0, so I flashed 3.0). And I noticed, that reboots may happen even in TWRP(luckily, none happened during the installation of ROM).
The questions are:
1) Is it possible to properly diagnose the cause of the problem? If not, what may be the cause?
2) What to do now? I believe the only possible ways are to replace motherboard or take phone to service(and they essentially will do the same thing - just replace the motherboard)
