IDK, do you buy them from the same person each time? You may wanna consider buying them elsewhere, or try to get refunded and buy another one. That's really curious...

All are from different shops, online , some of them are 3 yrs old and two new from different shops.

@Raghujadhav20
I think it's not the Android OS but the buttons. Order a back cover which basically has slots for the buttons. Thus probability of them being pressed when in jeans pocket - starting a Facatory Reset - should get reduced dramatically.

Just a thought, not a solution. Did you try without Sim, wifi, Google account, Location/scanning, BT everything off at the same time? If not, try it.

[Q] gps keeps failing

Hi,
Can anybody help me with this? My gps keeps failing. A reboot sometimes works, I've tried running quick gps but this makes no difference, Sometimes it will reboot itself after it fails (sometimes repeatedly!!) normally when using copilot 8. It doesn't seem to be an issue with copilot as google maps and chartcross gps also fail to work.
rom htc 3.14.405.2(04666)wwe date 29/09/2010
radio 2.15.50.14
protocol 15.42.50.11U
os 5.2.21913(21913.5.0.94)
many thanks
Does it fail in all usage situations (indoor, outdoor)?
Do you use Quick GPS?
Did you try another Radio ROM?

Yes
Yes
No, I've not changed radio.
I tried again last night. Co pilot worked for a minute or so then lost gps, then "gps back, determining position..." then rebooted itself, repeatedly and did freeze on boot up once. I soft reset it and tried google maps, it found no sats and rebooted itself, tried again and it was ok for about 10 minutes on copilot then I had finished my journey... It's infurating I do know! Would it be worth trying a different radio as I've not changed it from stock and it's only recently benn misbehaving?
It's still misbehaving... Is there anything in the registry that might cause it?
This may be a bit too drastic, but a hard reset can rule out the registry as the culprit.
I'm trying to avoid a hard reset if I can. I'd have to reinstall the modified rom if I did wouldn't I? (from htc website)
This is really getting me down now... Last night co-pilot worked for 10 minutes then without warning or apparent loss of gps phone rebooted, then without opening any apps or even touching it, it rebooted itself 4 times. I'm thinking a hard reset has got to be tried..
Forgive my ignorance, but if I hard reset will I have then to reinstall the updated rom and patches I installed from htc late last year to remedy daylight saving issues etc and will I be able to reinstall paid for software from marketplace without buying again?
Can anyone help please?
I've read about the rebooting problem with other users. This was caused by bent battery pins.
Did look at those?
thanks. battery pins look fine to me. i will try a hard reset, i'm just wondering if i can reinstall my paid for marketplace software or will i have to buy again and i presume i will have to reinstall htc patches and updated rom after hard reset. please forgive my ignorance. it threw a fit this morning too. i switched it to silent for an hour whilst at a funeral and when i came out battery was totally discharged. it was about 90% beforehand. it seems to be dying!!!!!!
Does nobody know, please?
i am sorry to say that ur problem is the same with mine,and i think its main board broblem,i open it and remove the gps part and then restart the phone,the same problem the phone keep freezing and restart it self,so i think its mainboard broblem,i bought another used hd2 ,and the old one for parts,
sorry to say this

Thanks for the bad news but I think you may be correct.... I've hard reset it and the gps and rebooting side of things is exactly the same, but now it also seems to be eating the battery(COMPLETELY drained in 16 hours with approx 15 minutes of calls made and a brief use of copilot and googlemaps) and I've not installed any additional software or made any changes from "out of box" condition apart from reinstalling my contacts and the latest version of facebook.... It now also is not porting facebook profile photos into contact list even though I have recreated the links.... I have emailed htc but had no response from their "crack" support team as yet (it's only been 26 hours so far). I only got the HD2 in August last year so hope that it will be a warranty issue. I seem to remember people having issues with facebook contact photos but can't find the posts. Can anyone help??
Well, an update. After 3 months and the unit going back to the repair centre FOUR TIMES and a TWO replacement units I appear to have a working device again. HTC repair centre seem to be totally useless. I've had no info from them regards any repairs that have been carried out. Each time it went away for repair it was back within 4 days so very little testing was done.(I did find out on 1 repair the speaker and the wireless card were replaced....Why???) The first replacement unit took 2 weeks to arrive though and that had absolutely no gps.......The second replacement took 3 1/2 to arrive but so far the gps is ok but I still have no facebook profile photos in my contacts list....... Any ideas how to rectify this??

[Q] Exchanging defective Note tomorrow - What is the best way to restore?

Hi all,
I have a defective Note (charger/battery acting up). I want to exchange it tomorrow.
Currently, I have installed apps, emails, etc on the phone. What is the best way for me to restore it to defaults (factory settings) without connecting to the computer?
I've been looking around the settings option and I can't find anything.
Will I have to use Odin to restore?
This phone has never been rooted or anything like that.
Thanks!

I had the same issue, and I took it back to BB, my 2nd note is slow, nothing like my first one. youtube video's are jittery, apps i have to keep hitting retry to connect for example the market and youtube. Hope you have better luck with your 2nd one!

Oh damn.. sorry to hear that. I actually rooted it right now just for testing it. Unfortunately, I was unable to UNroot .. but I've uninstalled Superuser which I think I'll be safe when it will be replaced.
This note works perfectly in terms of speed and those stuff. It is just the charger + battery. I probably think its connected. First the charger, when you plug in the wall, it won't charge. You have to unplug-replug for about 10 times and it will charge. With regards to battery. It does not even last 8 hours (7 hours idle - 1 hours of LIGHT use). You can use it 1.5 hours straight of light use before it asks you to replug it to the wall. So yeah .. its either Charger or Battery.
Wish me luck
i may be having the same issue

My note seems incredibly slow... and on some other threads, people are thinking it may be by color. What color was your first and second? Mine is the black/(blue.. whatever) but bestbuy said that they dont return for color...

Phone freeze + auto factory reset

Last Saturday, my 2yr old child was playing with my screen lock lumia. Next thing I see, it display a factory reset. It's ok for me since I sync my data mostly online, not a real damage.
But after the factory reset, the main problem happen. It doesn't fully functioning, icon doesn't display right. Next thing I know, freeze and factory reset again. it happen 3-4 more time but mostly functioning ok after reset.
It seen ok after that. Except when I try installing back the app from marketplace, after about ten app, error msg displayed rejecting the app installation. Phone is giving feedback back can't even go into the dialer. Next few minutes, restart and stuck at nokia logo, on-off and it's back to factory default.
Happen few more time after installing app every time. The last try, use the phone half day, fully function. Error, restart, stuck at nokia, and factory default again after trying to install app.
Now, it's at Nokia Care (authorise service center).
It's horror for me since happily using it for 3 month. Could find anyone posting the same problem, maybe it is a hardware problem. But a bit of concern since it is just a 3 month old phone.

Hmmmm, 2yr old child + 3month old Lumia = Disaster, Maybe your child managed to get the device wet in some way? A lesson learnt the hard way unfortunately, At least its now in good hands and hope it's all sorted when you get it back
Sounds like a hardware problem. Did your child drop the phone, or did he eat some parts? (okay, just kidding on the last one).
Still not ok
Just got it back from Nokia Care yesterday, the problem is still there when installing back my apps. Will sent it back this afternoon.
I can use it as a phone, but a smartphone that cannot install app, useless.
Fyi, no water did got into my lumia & my child never put the phone into her mouth. I have a 3yr old 3gs (pass to my wife after buying lumia) and ipad which my child use more often, no problem at all.
It seems like the problem my HTC WM had but that happen after 2++ yrs of usage.
Getting frustrated because I know it is hard to explain the problem.
Thinking of selling this phone if the problem cannot be solve.
Just send it to Nokia Care.
Manage to get my Lumia to be error-ed, show it to the Nokia Care personnel. When she try to on-off the set, it 'factory reset'.
They said they will change the phone board.
Will update when I collect my Lumia 800.
Now, I'm happy...
I had the exactly same problem with my Lumia 800.
I set a new passcode and forgot the passcode later
After enter several wrong passcodes, it said it will do a factory reset, i clicked Ok.
Then I have the exactly same problem with yours.
So your kid is innocent
I'm going to give up this piece of ****! Too many troubles with phone since I own it.
Nice to hear this is not just my problem.
Although, it really a big problem when this occur.
Really need to be careful when factory resetting the lumia.
Hope you didn't give up the phone, it really is a nice phone.
Nokia should be aware of this problem.
Just sent it for warranty claim as I did.
Though I'm still waiting for them to repair the phone..
if any one want to have a good windowsphone you will buy an htc windows phone like titan , nokia phone not good windowsphone
Pick up my Lumia yesterday, so far running fine.
Manage to install back most of the apps without problem/error.
They change the main board of the phone.
Won't be setting my phone with pass lock after this.

Galaxy S III Not responding

Hi everyone,
i don't know if someone already encountered this but sometimes my GS3 does not respond when i try to wake him up. (it's not turned off just standby). The screen stays black en nothing works. One time the screen did woke up but i couldn't unlock it because the touchscreen didnt work. It could not be turned off and the buttons didn't do anything! The only way for me to get out of this was a battery pull!
I did not root or modify anything on this phone because i like the stock samsung TW for the first time .
Did anyone else have this problem? And how did u solve this? Thank u.
Possibly due to an app you have installed.

Thank u i didn't thought of that. Is their an easy way to find out wich app this could cause? I still find it very weird. If an app is not compatible than it just shouldnt install intead of breakin the phone right? XD
This happened me last night as well. Couldn't do anything other than turn the phone off, and when it came back on it was fine again.
Unrooted as well. Would like to find out how I can prevent this from happening again?
if you are not sure about the root cause of the problem better factory reset your mobile

Yes, if it happens again than i will try that. But i already sent the unit back from were i ordered it. They will send me a new one because its their policy to send a new one if something happens in 2 weeks.
So i will see if it still occurs with the new one otherwise its one of my apps. Than i will install only a few apps and see what causes it. If it doesnt occur one more thime than the unit was faulty. Ill keep u guys updated.

Did it happen once? My phone had it like 3 times so thats why i sent it back. But if it still occurs with my new phone than it must be one of the apps i got Luckily they got DOA policy. I asked if it includes ''the phone does not work as it should" and they said yes send it back u will get a new one yaay but now i have no phone
I had this. After a hard reset, multiple times, and configuring with no accounts (no samsaung account, no google, nothing), it still happened. I ended up returning the phone and I've not had a single problem since.
I think it was either faulty memory or a dodgy firmware flash (more likely). Either way, I didn't care to find out and now it's all good.

Fingerprint sensor not working afyer 2 days of use

So I've been using the s10 lite for 2 days and wanted to add a new fingerprint, just to find out that the finger registration process gets stuck at around 20-30% each time. I dont have any type of screen protection on my phone..I have tried adding a fingerprint in safe mode.. using a different finger/hand.. but nothing helps. Iwas able to add a fingerprint during the initial setup, and than the phone received a system update (with April security patch) so I'm guessing its a software issue?? Anyone else with the same problem?
79 users have read the post and noone took a minute to delete and try to add new fingerprints?? God bless.

I got 3 with no issues.
Maybe you have a niche problem that 79 users dont have, and if you snoop around you'll find the whole subforum is dead.
You're better of at your local repair shop.

I changed my fingerprint 3 times without any issues. I suggest you should do a factory reset and check again. If the issue persists then go to a service center if possible.
I've done factory data reset 3x..it doesnt help.. tried uso g different fingers, angles.. nothing works.. I will be returning the phone.
The screen also makes a clicking noise when I press on the place where the fingerprint sensor is. Totally disappointed.

Familiar with the concept of mass production and how there could be faulty products slipping by quality control?
You picked the shortest straw, unlucky. But to be disapointed in a niche error and completely rejecting the phone for it..
It happens,
Return it, they'll check it out and if it is a factory error then you'll get a replacement for free.
