Has anyone else experienced this ????
I have an O2 XDA II with 1.72 , 1.14, and for no apparent reason it just decides to turn itself off, needing me to remove the battery. Instead of starting normally, it hard resets itself :/
Any advice welcomed
Just had that happen twice. It didn't turn off though; it locked up hard. The soft reset button would leave it on a black screen. Once I removed and replaced the battery, it was hard reset. Both times it happened on airplanes, maybe it's allergic to them...
What softwares do you install to your XDA2??
if u installed Pocketplus, remove it...
it caused your XDA to be death...
No Pocket Plus in my case, don't like it. I have several programs that provide the same functions, but had not caused a problem in the past.
Do you have a link to some evidence of the Pocket Plus problem?
Hello,
I've got the same problem with a new one. Just sent it back for exchange.
The only software it might have caused problems is iStatus, which worked properly on my old xdaI before.
So however if you've installed this software as well this could be a solution ...

xda2 hard reset
Had the same prob. too, fixed it by getting rid ofpocket skype.
i seemed to have cured the problem. although i'm not sure which cured it.
The XDA seemed to start hard reseting around the time I :
a) bought a spare battery from PDAMAODS (1400mAh). Am now using the original again
b) upgraded the roms from
1.66WWE (now 1.72.00)
1.10 (now 1.17)
can't remember (now 1.72.126)
c) adjusting the power settings to turn the device off after <5 mins for both battery and external power
I now have have the power setting set to constantly on, have put in the original battery and cleared the ext rom of ALL programs, and it now works fine, although battery life is now crap, as to be expected.
Hope this helps ppl with similar problems :/
Only time that my MDA-II has to hard reset is when I set Bluetooth function on. Maybe there is a bug in Bluetooth

Hi all menber
I have O2 , normaly i using it no problem , but from 3 days ago , it often power off when i put it in the pocket ??? please help me
Thank you
When you say power-off you mean the little light stops flashing? Don't worry about the screen turning off, this is normal, the phone will continue to operate.
Just as long as your litte green light keeps on flashing all is well.
I've had a similar problem where my XDA switched off completely while its in my pocket and even during a phone call. Some time it takes two dozen attempts to switch it back on. I thought it was battery power but when i checked level in power settings it was 3 quarter full.
Has anyone experienced this problem, my XDA is one day old.
Thanks in advance.
I was going to ask a similar question. My problem is my XDA works fine while in the house but after a trip in the car 80% of the time my xda has no green light flashing then when I turn it on it acts like it has had a soft reset. I am wondering if this is a static problem.
My XDA Details
32MB Version
Special Rom 3.17.3
and radio 4.21
:evil:
We've seen all sorts of weird issues when an XDA loses signal for too long. You may want to upgrade Radio Stack if your version is rather old.
I have Radio Stack 4.21.00 is this the latest ? :shock:
I too suffer from this.
Sometimes i go to turn my phone on and it does a soft reset.
Never considered it resetting itself if it lost radio signal (using the latest stack)
Checking that sim flap is correctly place may help, if i bang mine then sometimes it resets (suspect that the sim card switch is being jolted)
Sometimes (it already happened more than 10 times in 3 months), when I place my QTEK 9090 in the Broadit Actice Car Holder, the device freeze :
it cannot be turned on, the power light still flash green (no charge) and if I call my number with another phone I get an unreachable error from the operator and my qtek does not wake up.
Soft reset does not work.
Only hard reset :evil:
Anyony has the same problem ?
Cheers,
Olivier.
Having the same problem, looks like it only happens when it is sunny...
Don't have the answer yet. Some say you can change your device at your shop. Haven't tried it yet.
Yep. Same thing here as well!
I thought it was caused by software I have put on it (Pocket Plus or something). I never thought the Brodit active holder would be the problem. But as I remember it always happens when I put it in it's holder :roll:
I have installed rom 1.40 and till now still haven't had a hard reset with the carcradle...
Keep my fingers crossed! :roll:
I contacted pdashop.be (where I bought the broadit), got a repair number, and I sent the device. About 2 weeks later, I got a new broadit. It has frozen 2 times in about 2 weeks, but this time something new. It does not completely hard reset : altought I press reset while pushing ON/OFF button, the device makes a soft reset, just loosing date & time. Installed apps, contacts, calendar, etc ... remains. Strange :?:
Hi,
My XdaII was running 1.50h for some time without any problems, then last week it did a hard reset for no reason and so I thought I would look at the newer versions of the OS. I tried 1.60b and then ran the DOC procedure. Everything looked good. After installing a few programs it started to do a hard reset at least once a day. Then it started dying completely, when this happened the device would not restart at all. I tried leaving it for a while and noticed it getting pretty hot. The only way to breath life back into it was to take the battery out for a couple of hours. I read something in the forums here about SPB Pocket plus3 version causing problems, I also had the problem others had with notes not syncing so I decided to try ver 1.60a and upgraded pocketplus. This has been running for a couple of days now without problems.
Since the post above I started installing more software and after a while it just locked up again, as if it had died. I tried soft reset - nothing, Hard reset - nothing. The device then started to get warm and so I took out the battery and it hard reset.
I have the following applications installed.
spb pocketplus 3 new version - trial
Transcreative magic button
Flash player active X
betaplayer
calendar +
Codewallet PRO 5
The device had been ok for two days with just spb pocket plus installed.
Any ideas? I am worried about it getting hot
Thanks,
Tony.
my xdaII have broken housing.trying to fix it just a little (but no luck,must find housing now).I have sometime similar problem,completly dead and warming.problem was from display connector(caused by opening).if this was not very good connected,xdaII sometimes work sometimes dead and warm-up.now with flex firmly connected works fine.
Thanks gabiz_ro. I might get it opened up and checked out. I have a feeling the probelm is HW.
Tony.
I noticed earlier today my phone kept freezing.
the phone HAS been freezing on me recently, at least once an hour
but now every 3 minutes it freezes or resets itself. I have missed a LOT of calls and ttext messages etc.
today has been a disaster. i havent even synced my numbers and contacts. what should I do?
if you haven't installed anything new or tweaked just before the problem started:
as usual - backup and hard reset...
There is a free program called "pim backup" that will backup all your contacts, messages and call log. Then you can do a hard reset.
my phone freezes before I can even back up anything. its the worst
now it seems like if my phone is plugged in and charging, it gives no problem, but as soon as I unplug it, frozen.
im going to try to find PIM backup to see what that can do
wow now I have a bigger problem now. my phone fell and the transcriber cracked so only part of the screen works with touch BUT that was before I hard reset the phone and now the screen align is appearing but I cant touch all of the targets
is there a way to bypass this?
When its at the align screen you can plug it into computer and connect with active sync. Delete the Welcome shortcut from Windows/startup and soft reset. That should skip the alignment. Sorry to hear about the phone. I have a couple moguls if interested PM me about it.
I am having the same issue he was before he cracked his screen up.
I get freezing whenever the phone goes into standby and it will only restart with 2 hits of the reset button. Also it is a coinflip as to whether it will actually start up fully or just keep soft reseting for an extended period without ever loading up fully.
Anyone have any incite or ideas. I am running a ppckitchen vs of windows mobile 6.5 now. It is a kitchen version with few added programs. However I also experienced something similar to this issue with Titan Reloaded 1.3.4 as well but it stopped so I never bothered looking into it. Now this problem occurs about 10-15 times per day and it is frustrating. I am out of warranty and cant send my phone in because I replaced the housing myself.
Thanks
Dave
Also, I have US Cellular if you need to know that.
Thanks
Dave
I had the same problem kind of. Out of nowhere mine would lockup or freeze randomly. Usually after being in my pocket, after hitting all the buttons or squeezing it, it would work again (sometimes but usually after numerou reboots) but then lockup shortly after or flipping the case open and closed. Finally took the case off my phone and blew inside it today put it back together and havent had a lock up all day (1st time since i started havin the problem). It wasnt rom related as i had the same rom for a while, tried reflashing to different kinds of roms and radios but same random lockups. Somethin musta been loose
Well, I went to take my phone apart, probably the 8th or 9th time that I've done it and I ended up ripping the cable for the screen right off. So no more HTC for me for awhile. Unless of coarse someone wants to mail me a cable for free (im broke in college and my rent is due soon.) By judging by how easily the cable ripped I would bet the crease I found right by the rip had already had a slight tear in it.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know what the heck is going on with my HTC HD2, but the reboots are getting quite annoying.
Furthermore i noticed it happens when i utilize the cpu heavily.
Mostly with streaming video or playing games.
Have done multiple hard resets, rom updates and even custom roms but nothing seems to work.
Sometimes my phone even reboots(soft resets) after watching 5 whole seconds of youtube
So even directly after a hard reset the problem persists.
I'm totally confused right now(because i have tried everything i could do to fix this problem).
I am thinking could it be the battery not giving enough juice for the task? overheating ? or just faulty hardware?
what do you guys think?
because i noticed that the problem is happening more frequently over time.
Edit: it rebooted even in idle a moment ago (1th time) ???
Similar issue with youtube freeze and reset
I can validate your frustration. I am having problems with my HD2 freezing up as well and doing a soft reset on it's own. So the YouTube app opens up the HTC player and then it will play a few seconds and then freeze up. I also opened an MP4 movie file and view it with the HTC player and that also froze it. Last but not least, I have TomTom and that froze it after 15 minutes last night.
I have seen some postings that Tmobile and HTC will be releasing a new rom to fix some memory leaking issues so perhaps that might be it.
It started happening about a week ago for me. Please post any solutions you might find.
I am on:
OS v.5.2.21889
Mania v.2.5.20121412.1
ROM v.2.10.531.1 WWE
Radio v. 2.08.50.08.2
I have done some trail and error, played around with coreplayer and i noticed that when i set the video quality to FLV medium quality in the buildin youtube app in coreplayer i won't reboot that quick anymore, but after a couple of seconds it will eventually still reboot. If i set quality to high quality/high bandwidth i will reboot much faster (so this let's me think about some kind of memory leak/buffer overflow).
Furthermore luckly i don't have any problems with playing mp4 videos in coreplayer, i have tested this especially because of the youtube reboots, and it will keep playing for 1,5 hour without any problems, so maybe you could try coreplayer and see if that's a solution for your mp4 problem ?
But eventually it would be nice if these problems where sorted out so that the device will work like it is supossed to be
Already tried a TASK29 and a flashing a stock ROM from your SD card?
Ye, have tried task 29 (between each roms, i do use task to make sure that the phone is empty.) and when i went back to my 1.72 stock rom i did flash it from SD, but still no luck.
this happened to me today as i was logging onto the net. it did a full master reset.
Same thing happened to me after the unit froze. I pulled the battery, put it back in an it went into this continuous loop of starting up, going through the first couple of screens and then rebooting. What I eventually found to be the problem was that I had inadvertently bent one of the battery pins when I put the battery back in, not much but just enough to where it wasn't making contact. After I carefully straightened it out the issue was gone and it fired up as usual. I love simple fixes, of course this was after I task 29'd and reflashed which didnt correct the problem.

hmm i only got the problem while i'm watching streaming video through 3g and on usb > active sync > pc data connection / some (cpu intensive) games
with wifi no problems at all, it plays youtube for more then a hour without a reboot, and i tested it multiple times to make sure), and booting is just fine without a single hickup

Hey, thank you @thompsd. This was driving me crazy on my phone. I finally took it back to a TMobile store for replacement and they put me on the phone with support before they would issue a replacement. Of course I was bewildered when they had me take out the battery and put it back in (which I had done a zillion times) and the phone suddenly worked. The person on the phone told me that it was fixed because I had to keep the battery out for at least 90 seconds. This made absolutely no sense, but it was hard to argue with success. I walked out of the store with my head hung low in shame.
Tonight, sitting in an airport lounge waiting for a flight, I noticed that my phone was hung so I pulled the battery to reset it. When I put the battery back in and started it, the phone went into the reboot loop -- displaying the boot screen for a couple of seconds and then shutting down and rebooting. I pulled the battery for 90 seconds. 120 seconds, 5 minutes. No joy. Realizing that this solution made absolutely no sense in the first place, I decided to search around again.
I found your reply in this thread and looked at my battery contacts. One of them was bent. I straightened it out, put the battery back in and the phone booted right up. Now I realize that when I was on the phone with TMobile, I must have put the battery back in that one time in such a way that inadvertently straightened the pin.
Hi all,
I have (maybe) the same problem with my HD2 i.e. when it is "doing something", well not idle, it sometimes restarts itself and then usually will not get out of the cycle of crash/reboot untill I remove the battery and wait for a few minutes before starting it again.
This is always more frequent if I am using a serious application such as sat nav. It also has only happened when the unit is connected to power, either on my desk or in the car (different power sources), but disconnecting it from the power after the cycle has started doesn't help.
I have assumed from the symptoms that it is caused by overheating and so leaving it switched off for a period allows it to cool.
I have got a return packet from Vodafone to send it for repair but I am loath to do this as it is likely to take 10 days and I suspect I might either get a recon unit back or "no fault found".
Does anyone think this could be battery related? If so I would buy a 2nd battery and test it.
Cheers, Gordon
I can confirm having the same problem.
Using BattClock (which shows a.o. the battery temperature) I was able to establish that the resets and reset loops happen once the battery temperature exceeds 31-32°C.
Contacted HTC support and received reply that the phone qualifies for repair.
PS. My wife just suggested providing me with a cooler bag, so I can enjoy reset-free phone during summer heatwave...
I had similar behavior, but it was due to the new ROM release (4/28/10). I loaded the official T-Mobile release date ROM (2/19/10) and the problem went away.
L.B.
Yesterday my battery charge got very low and shut the phone down. When I turned the phone back on without charging it kept rebooting time after time. I tried plugging the charger in but that didn't help. I took out the battery and put it back in and that still didn't help. I finally caught it when it was rebooting and pressed volume down and got the phone in bootloader to at least stop the constant rebooting. I left the phone on the charger and after about 1/2 hour I pulled the battery and put it back in and the phone was fine.
I am not wanting this to happen again. Maybe I will go back to an older ROM.
if i have some luck i will receive my phone tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
i will let you know what has been repaired and if this solved the reboot problem.
today i received my phone back from the repair center.
The repair letter says that the display has being changed because it was not functioning anymore? (but when i sent the phone in the display was working like it should).
And the youtube problem is still there
Im having the same problem! i figure it was the battery overheating...or the rom or even probably a not compatible radio.....try to change all of these and is still restarting when ever it tries to connect to any data or internet usage. Ex. youtube, downloading of files from the internet, Remote Desktop even Microsoft My Phone still restarts.
even when i used to make/receive phone calls it would restart as soon as i picked it up to talk. but for this i had a solution witch as of now is working fine with out a problem.
if anybody else has this problem with the Receiving/making calls this should work.
1. Go to: Start/Settings/Connections
2. is the "TASK" tab choose "Manage Existing Connections"
3. In the "Modem Tab" has for options to choose from, normally is on "Auto", this was the problem. you would want to get it OFF AUTO.
4. Try all the other " voice Stream options Shown" and see witch one works for you without giving problems, and save. Im currently using "wap.voicestream.com." witch is the second option after Auto.
Well i hope this works for you guys if ur having similar problems, its actually work for me. GooD luck! hope this helps.

is it possible for me to know where can i get this ROM??
(official T-Mobile release date ROM (2/19/10).
this week i will receive my phone back for the 2th time.
Hopefully they have found the faulty component of the phone.
I will keep you informed
