I love my Touch Pro - really I do, its got all the features I want currently (except a digital compass would be good with some AR software, but that's not important roght now).
However, having got my first TP back in February I am about to send my handset back yet again as it has died again.
The first handset had a serious problem with battery drain and switching itself on (ie screen on) when not in use - I posted here about this at the time (clicky).
The o2 UK repair centre (Anovo) first of all said they'd fixed the fault, but after two weeks the phone was doing the same again - I did confirm this was not a software issue by running it ofr two weeks without any of my usuall applications on it.
So it went back again and was returned 'No Fault Found'.
At this point I demended a replacement handset. The replacement I received (a refurbished unit) had a speaker fault - crackling whenever the speaker activated, ie before a call connected and during.
That one went back as well and I ended up with an SE X1 for a while. OK but not a Touch Pro (and wouldn't run my legitimately purchased Tom Tom Nav 5 s/w). This was because o2 UK said they had no more stock of the Touch Pro and wouldn't be getting any more (why? too many problems with it?)
Eventually I got a call from o2 after numerous letters of complaint saying that they were going to exchange the SE X1 for a brand new boxed Touch Pro.
I have had this brand new replacement since August now.
About a month ago it died on me again. It just wouldn't switch on. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery resulted in the flash on the back flashing, the handset vibrating (as though it was starting up) but nothing else.
Connecting the charger resulted in the flash on the back flashing bright about every second.
A hard reset would not work at this stage.
After a couple of days I heard the 'battery low' sound from the drawer that it was stashed in. SO tried a hard reset again - nothing. Tried a hard reset again with the charger plugged in and it reset and cam back to life.
... for two weeks...
then it died again.
This time is very similar to last with theflash falshing thing, except that if I try a hard reset it seems to go through the motions but without the screen coming on (ie the vibration. The beeping sound. Click the volume down and it pings again as though its starting the reset, then about a minute later the vibration again as though its restarting after the reset). But the screen doesn't come on at all. And the lights don't light up on the front buttons or the keypad.
Unfortunately I didn't have myMobiler installed on the handset so I couldn't try connecting to it from my PC (myMobiler did try installing but as I couldn't click the 'OK' button it didn't complete).
So. Are my four deaths of the TP unique or has anyone else had similar problems with this handset?

Not I.
I have had my Touch Pro (AT&T's HTC Fuze) since December 2008 and I have not had a single real problem with it. I say "real" because I have had times when I couldn't get a GPS lock and of course the phone is slow sometimes, but that's what I've come to expect from HTC.

you need the 1.14.25.35 radio. and a different rom. maybe atts 5.11 rom if you want to still keep it stock. 1.14.25.35 is atts radio too so that stock and wont void your warranty as well.
Fuze Died Today, I Think
I've used this fuze since December of 2008 and have been quite pleased with the performance. (considering that it IS Windows) My signature radio works quite well in the mid west North America and travels well through different data protocols. Like H to Edge to GPRS and back to 3G again.
Today I flashed a new rom via usb and now it won't pass the splash screen. That flash appeared normal in all respects. Tried several hard resets (to the bootloader screen) and have tried to re-flash a different rom via micro sd card.
I've begun to think that this may be a hardware failure and would appreciate any advise for troubleshooting. Keep in mind that device will NOT connect via usb.
my screen went white a couple days ago. it would end up showing the windows logo for a while then a white screen. i hard reset a few times but nothing worked so i reloaded atts 5.11 rom and now it just stays at the "initial setup of the touchflo interface may take serveral minutes please wait" screen and wont get passed. i saw another thread about the white screen months back but i cant find it again. im just gonna wait till they have tilt2s and claim it under warranty. im gonna miss having flash, i use it to light up everything, but im sure a larger screen will make up for it.
Well I now have a bit more info on this since the phone cam eback from 'repair'on Saturday.
All they had done at the repair centre was to 'reload software' (their words, not mine). ie I guess they flashed the ROM again.
It worked for a day, though I guessed that was more coincidence than anything - after all, when this handset first did this a few weeks before it suddenly started working again a few days later.
Luckily in that time I'd remembere to install MyMobiler this time, and so when the screen died I connected to my laptop and fired up a remote view of the phone.
The screen itself was dead, but everything else seemed to be working on the phone - except that while the screen was dead I had an error displayed on screen. The error was "MicropERROR" as attached here.
So I Googled the error message, and what a shock a nice long thread on XDA-dev about it. Seems it s a fairly common problem with the Diamond, Touch Pro and Touch HD. Joy!
So the phone is now back with 'o2' again for another 'repair' this time with the attcahed screenshot enclosed. I have been warned again, though, that the Serra is out of stock and if they can't repir it I may have to select a substitute. As far as I am concerned there is no substitute - there is no other phone at the mo with the Touch Pro's features (hardware keyboard, VGA/WVGA screen, A-GPS, g-sensor, WinMo, runs TomTom Nav5).
I fear the worst again, and fear I'm back where I was in July with an impossible choice to make thanks to o2 UK discontinuing the Serra / Touch Pro after a few months of supplying it.

well i got my TP back in March.09 and last month i have to replace the mother board and the back speaker other than that all is good so far
but i was so frustrated with HTC support centre (which is the main one in Taiwan ) real unpleasant experience as you all may know
Cheers!
Time to send mine back
Just had an issue with my last one, it was only 5 months old and the screen started looking like it had a vertical hold issue. Just got my refurbished one in Wednesday and now it is doing the same thing after playing games on it for 5 minutes. The speaker phone is crackling too for some reason and when charging it at night it's like the screen will not fully black out. I am wondering if I even want to try another one of HTCs products or not. Nice phones but to many headaches it seems.
I have just purchased an Optimus 3d and hate to be the first to report having random reboots especially while copying large data from internal SD to the external one (per 3 trial to copy an +300MB file to the external SD i have 2 reboots). The phone seems stable while plugged in (both AC or USB) though. Problem usually occurs while the screen off. I have it 3-4 times a day while not copying a file.
These are the things I've done to see if the problem would be fixed with no luck.
- Installing different ROMs (v10b, v10d and v10e all custom)
- Factory reset (to make sure no 3rd party app cause this)
- Trying different SD card (using no external SD seems to decrease the reboots, but they still exist )
Now trying to use an official ROM and will see if the problem will be fixed.
Edit: Tried with the official v10d, and still the same
Any suggestions?
[FIX]: The GB update fixes the problem
Am I the only one having this issue?
I get 2-3 random reboots a day too, usually while it's in standby and doing nothing

Sorry to hear that.
I was among the lucky ones when purchased the Optimus 2x. It was perfect without any issues. And now, just paid my due
could be a faulty phone, had mine since july 1, and hasn't rebooted once, even with all the mods etc
Noticed mine rebooted by itself yesterday,1st time i know of,i have had the phone for a few weeks now,hope it doesnt start doing it regularly..
I've had one or two sleep of death and one or two reboots during the month+ I've had it, nothing major but I think LG got something messy in their ROM just like with the O2X, hopefully it wont turn out to be a hardware fault.
Ive had mine reboot randomly too P925g(rogers/thrill version) also once and a while all my bars will drop and i will have no signal couple minutes later and its back up
I get 2-3 random reboots per day lately
Quick question, do you have Bluetooth switched on when it's doing this?

No, bluetooth always disabled in my case...
Im thinking that its a hardware fault
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA Premium App
not happened to me once ?
i have had the phone since 3 days before it was released in the uk ..
i have most roms and all seem to work well i even tries copying a file bigger than 300 mb between memory cards and no reboot either ... so i have no idea ...
this is interesting as i am having the same issue as well. but mine isnt rebooting.. its turning off completely. i come to see the phone and its off.
only had it for like 4 days now!
Maybe your SIM card is corrupted??
Try with another.
same problem
I had the same problem. I can tell you that you can't fix it by yourself. Your phone is broken. I used the LG VIP service to get a new phone and problems are over now. This is a hardware problem. Will never fix by reset or re install. Tip. Don't use the guarantee service of your provider but do it via LG. The most providers will keep your phone and send him back without doing anything on it because the problems is not when you turn your phone on. Good luck.
i suspect a sim card issue as well. mine currently randomly shuts off completely... i've seem issues with bad sim cards causing reboots ... but again mine shuts off so ...
I'm having the same problem with mine, I've replied to a thread on LG's forums and now I've sent LG a email because I'm starting to get worried about the phone. I've had problems with signal but after a long talk with T-Mobile CS I managed to fix the problem where I couldn't access internet when not at home on wifi, it was set to use orange signal instead of T-mobile all the time hehe.
I'm wondering how would a sim card cause a phone to reboot? I've been using phones for several years and the only problem a sim card has caused is no signal and in old days loosing contacts.
I was thinking it might be a over heating problem but then since it always does it when it's doing nothing and I'm nowhere near the phone I'm not sure it is.
Well, actually this problem found me!
When I've changed the rom for first time, I got this problem moments after first flash. Now, I've switched to V10j, and today when my phone was connected to Car Kit through bluetooth the phone restarted, I made reconnection and the phone restarted again, then I made wipe for data and cashe(For first time), but when I connect it again I got the same problem.
Now, I will see, if it keeps happening, I will use LG Tool to recover.
Edit: I did what I said and evrything goes fine.
I used to have 3-5 reboots a day, but only when phone is NOT connected to usb, charger or pc, dont matter.
Now it's gone up to a reboot every 20-30 minutes, still ONLY when usb is connected, when it's connected it can connect for ages it seems.
The major thing that changed in my phone is the 10k update that came in about a week ago or so, but I cant really recall if the up in problems started just than, as most of the time i'm using my phone through OSP.
First i thought the problem didnt occur when the phone was running any program (eg. in my car i usually have heytell app running) but tests proved me wrong.
other odd things are that recently i cannot do updates or download thru market anymore over wifi, i have to turn wifi off or else it will result in an update or download error. Strangely enough the phone software came in thru wifi no problem.
Tech support suggested a hard reset of the phone, but i read now that this dont solve the problem, i'm not looking forward to a resetm because when I do a full backup thru lg suite, and it dont work either, gives me an error with 0/8 back items finished and telling me that not backed up items are removed from the the restore list (jeay!).
any suggestions are wellcome!
Just got my phone back from service, I was assured by LG that they have tested the phone and the phone is fine, I checked the firmware on the phone and it is V10B, I was told that they (LG service center) don't have the V10J,what rubbish!!! I will have to upgrade the phone myself, so I did, I installed all my apps, NO ROOTING, my wifi is set on never, I know some PPL have been suggesting to switch it off, well, I paid $738,00 for a smartphone, if I can't use the smart features of the phone then what is the use gettnig a smart phone? anyways, I put a web cam on the phone to record, this morning I went through the footage, the phone has restarted 4 times, I started the recording at 11:00 pm, at the 3:05 am one restart, then at 4:08 am, 4:16 and finally at 6:15 am, this is a major fault in this phone that is supposed to be top notch, I will be calling the service center today to see what excuse I will be getting. I have wasted hours in installing re installing and trying fix a problem that should not be even there, also taking the time off to take the phone to service and then to pick it up.
Hi XDA
I have a bit of a problem with my Smartwatch. I have tried every single 'fix' out there (self proclaimed techie, I usually google my problems first. making a post is a last resort). I got the watch since Christmas, and I've been working on it since
Heres my problem
I use a Feiteng N9300+ (S3 clone) and my smartwatch would pair to it, but disconnect every time I turn on the watch to check the time then reconnect around 5-10 seconds later. Apps wont work, they used to (with sheer luck, approx. 4% of the time) but after I formatted my phone apps don't show up at all.
I tried the watch with my Viewsonic G Tablet and it works, so I've narrowed it down to a faulty bluetooth chip within my phone, or a software related problem. Its probably the software
Any fixes? (I've tried Bluetooth keep alive and around 10 other apps, and around 20 'fixes' )
Thanks in advance
Hi, I bought a used Verizon Note Pro 12.2 SM-P905V and when I got it, noticed that the wifi is very flaky. Initially, it connected to my router fine but took 9 hours to load 120 apps when I signed in to Play using my normal Google account. So I did a factory reset, and then it wouldn't see my router at all. Restart router, factory reset device, no dice.
In the notification shade, wifi icon is always green as if it's on, but when I go into settings, the toggle is off. When I slide it to on, it turns gray and after a minute or so goes back to off. Multiple hard resets, still the same issue. Occasionally, it will "see" the routers, but this only lasts for a few seconds and then they are gone.
So I decided to flash the firmware. I did not complete another factory restore before I embarked on this, but had only just gone through the initial language screens and signed in on the tablet with a brand new Gmail account that had nothing on it. So I downloaded official 5.1.1 ROM from Sammobile, installed device drivers, installed Odin, (followed some great instructions found on XDA, thanks), got the tablet into download mode, connected to laptop and Odin on my laptop showed connection was live and it began to do it's thing. So I left it alone for 30 minutes and when I came back, Odin read "all done!" (or something similar) highlighted in green , and the tablet had restarted, so I assumed all is good.
However, I expected that the flash process would have wiped the setup I had begun on the tablet, but it did not. And the wifi issue still exists. Looks to me like nothing has changed. So two questions for you:
1) Does this mean that the flash did not happen correctly?
2) Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this wifi issue? (LTE works fine but I don't want to eat up all that expensive data.)
Thanks for any help!
Wifi circuit has many components on mainboard and I believe it's beyond abilities of most users even professionals as you cannot find components and schematic to fix them.
Your best source is looking for this tablet with a broken LCD like this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/172145691764?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...069075?hash=item1a15927393:g:D8MAAOSwbYZXZKDb
If you don't have the need to LTE connection, Note Pro wifi mainboard SM-P900 also fit but you need rear camera for SM-P900 as rear camera of LTE won't work in Wif mainboard.
Any LTE Note Pro 12.2 like P907T( Tmobile) P907A ( AT&T ) mainboard will fit to P905V as they are exactly the same mainboard, except firmware, bootloader and software loaded into it.
I swapped a SM-P907A mainboard to a SM-P905V tablet, it works as an AT&T tablet because the software is for AT&T.
I purchased a verizon note pro 12.2 SM-P905V refurbished from groupon last October. For the last few months the wifi on the tablet has been very flaky. I have a number of devices and only this one frequently drops connection. I never upgraded from kitkat I and was hoping that this issue was software related. Seeing that moransw is experiencing the same problem with this same model but is trying to get back to sock kitkat gives me concern that a software update will not resolve the problem. The other problem I've been having lately is that the device no longer recognizes the stock charger, and will now only charge painfully slow. I've tried a different charge cable from a samsung s6 to no avail. Is the SM-P905V a lemon?
You should use this one to test your charger and usb cable
http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=u....Xusb+voltage+current&sqp=usb+voltage+current
If you're using correct cable and charger, current should be 1.7 A and voltage should be 5.3 V
Test with known working cable and charger, if nothing is different you should consider to buy new usb flex charging port, around $10.
These basic steps you should do first as nobody can give exactly an answer with many unknowns. It happens to many used tablets, not just this model.
These basic troubleshootings are easy done for simple problem of bad cable, charger or USB port
Try them first then post your results if you need more help for further steps

1) I am using stock kitkat rooted and I was experiencing the same issue
2) I found this thread regarding our tablet that seems to suggest a bug with wifi if you are using a Bluetooth device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-pro-12/help/wifi-disconnects-bluetooth-device-t2851406
I was streaming audio through bluetooth to my home surround system, I disabled the bluetooth radio and I haven't had an issue with wifi since. I now use chromcast to stream audio through my surround sound.
I have problem with my Nexus 6 (no warranty) from last two months. Phone is on 7.0
One night I noticed my phone says it is charging over USB when connected to the quick charger so it is charging very slowly (more than 8 hours from 0-100%).
I was using the Motorola Charger when it start to do only USB charge. I tried different "regular" chargers and multiple USB cords. All yield the same results. So it seems to be some faulty hardware but I don't know which part.
Also i noticed that PC has stopped recognize it when it's connected - it only show USB charging. I don't have option to set connection to MTP (alternative I found it in developer options - same result)
Already tried:
-different chargers
-different usb cables
-factory reset on marshmallow
-downloaded Nougat on phone
I sent it to 2 different repair centers of Motorola in India.
1 changed the port and still the problem persisted.
The other one was a more advanced service center. They took the phone for around 2 months and then they told me there is some hardware problem and it would cost around 60% of the device cost to repair the problem. (It is equal to Rs. 30000 which is more than even the price of a brand new OnePlus 3)
On asking the problem, they just kept telling there is some Hardware problem which they couldn't explain but they knew this would repair the device.
Now I'm a student. Somehow i bought a Nexus 6 that too when its prices were at peak (Rs. 48999) with my parents help.
I use it as my only primary gear. Now it takes around 7 hours to fully charge if kept on Airplane mode and that too without using it.
Its just a waste i am keeping because i cannot afford the repair and even cannot but a new Phone.
Choosing Motorola sucked! (I still trust Google and love it)
I saw TK using Nexus 6. I was much excited. I saw all his videos. It was fun but now even he has dumped the device.
Now i just keep on trying my luck on Giveaways by XDA expecting to get a device.
(I was too excited when they had a Pixel Giveaway by Rhinoshield but unfortunately i didn't win)
All my hope is XDA Giveaways coz i can only trust them.
If you find any solution to this problem please do reply here or mail me.
It would be of great help.
