Hi,
after I have upgraded to 1.72.00WWE from 1.66.01GER my Xda II now makes hard resets all by itself. This has happened several times.
I was still installing all my apps after the upgrade, the reset does not happen when installing a specific app. I did backups inbetween using sprite. But even during the backup the unit has done a hard reset.
Sometimes this happens after working 2-5 minutes and sometimes after an hour or so.
Not knowing if this is part of the problem but the blue LED for BT started blinking a few times without BT being activated.
Once I did a soft reset and I had the BT led blinking and a blank screen. Then the only thing one can do is a manual hard reset...
This is very very frustrating .
Any ideas?

Hi...im a n00b here but really need help
ok...i tried upgrading my SX56 to 2003 thru siemens website. I followed directions like it told me. I put the phone in its cradle, didnt pick up any calls (nor did i recieve any calls), and then BAM...it got stuck at 10% for like 30mins - 1 hour. so i was like, umm ok. it froze?
i then took it off the cradle and did a soft reset hoping it would fix the problem....but yet, i was wrong...it doesnt show anything. so i proceed to make a Hard-Reset. now its totally screwed.
is my device gone for good?
well, i then reinstalled my ROM using the Program i found here at this site. I used the SD-Card method. I put the files in my card, insert it into the device, and held down the power button while performing a soft reset. This is where i got to the FLASHING screen where i think its copying the files to my phone? well, after this was finished, it told me to make a COLD reset. i assumed it meant soft reset, so i did.
now, here the window screen shows
all it is showing is
G
R
A.30.09
that's it? and it stays like that. can sumone help me plz
I got the same problem. Check my posts, I'll check yours. It sucks not having the P/PC and only the bootloader. I still have not fixed my phone and my day of optimism is comming to an end. My fear of having a dead phone is slowly creeping up. Anyway, good luck with your problem. Val.
A cold reset means you unscrew the top of your stylus and insert it into the tiny hole on the bottom right of your xda, the one with the red mark on, press once which will disconnect battery power, leave for one minute, press again will switch it back on. This always needs to be carried out following rom upgrade.

No matter the rom i'd flash... the phone in quick period of time goes white (like after Soft spl)...have to make several SR and remove the battery for a short while for it to work properly again...
any ideas? smth wrong with hardware?

I'd guess something to do with the hardware...
I can think of no software issue that would cause that, especially not with different ROMs.

1. 80% hardware problem, main board screen cable CONNECTOR bad connection ( I hope so),
- the screen needs to be reset, by remove/disconnect the screen cable and reconnect after 1 minute.
be careful WHILE HANDLING the fragile heat-seal type ribbon cable ...
GOOD LUCK ~~~ ^^
i'd upgraded ipl from 2.13 to 2.20 recently...may it be the problem?

IPL/SPL shouldn't cause that! I suspect hardware...
If you go into bootloader, does it display normally?
well it showed...yesterday i tried to flash nvid...the progress went to 45% and then received an erroror and rebooted itself...after that the device wont switch on...i suspect the battery to be totally discharged... i tried to charge it but it does not...

Do any LEDs show at all when connected to the power supply?
no...any leads are shown...the device doesnt charge the battery
i've charged the battery...the phone still doesnt switches on...any ideas what can be done ?
My friend I had exactly the same problem with my old prophet.solution:send it back to htc.it was on warranty.they give me a new one.that is an hardware failure.sorry friend
I have a strange problem i am trying to track down, this ONLY started with 2.2 The hard part is that this doesnt happen everytime, sometimes when i reboot the streak it will either get stuck at the first dell screen and not boot further, or it will factory reset itself. Sometimes it will reboot on its own and do a factory reset. At first i thought it was the rom as i was using dj steve's, but then i loaded dell's 2.2 and am experiencing the same problem.
Before and after each install i have done the factory dell reset, and have also done the wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik from clockwork, and i still yeild the same results.
Does anyone have any ideas on what the possible cause of this could be? I have seen talks of reboots, but no talks of chronic factory resets.
Check if it happens when you bump the phone flat against a table. If so it is the battery losing contact. I had the same problem (but without the factory reset) - fixed it by sticking a piece of paper under the battery. Hope this helps.

unfortunately its not a battery issue. Most of the time, i initiate the reboot and when it boots back up it does a factory reset. I have only had it reboot itself twice with factory reset.
I'd be seeking a replacement asap
I had issues with my DS on the weekend after having it for only 1 day, but realised that SetCPU was giving it grief. After a full reset and without using SetCPU, no probs, up time is now 73hrs and counting

Thats kinda what i was thinking, except this didnt happen until i started messing with 2.2. However i do realize this could be completely coincidental. I am planning on putting this back to factory 1.6 tonight and running that for a few days to see if i still have the same issue. Was mainly looking to see if anyone else had the same problem, otherwise i would say it seems to be an isolated incident!
Actually, I have noticed another issue with my DS. Sometimes when I turn off and turn back on, the button lights turn on, but no Dell logo. Just sits there until I pull the battery..
Doesnt happen all the time, but it is very strange.

I had a similar issue related to this. Basically it would boot to the dell logo, but wouldnt boot to the dell animation. I could let it sit there for 10 minutes and hold down the camera button and still get to fastboot, or volume keys and get to recovery.. Im pretty sure my phone is F'd so im gonna send it back.
Phone is randomly freezing, screen goes off and panel stays lit.
Pulling battery is only way to reset, wasn't doing anything special to cause a freeze.
It's almost like it falls asleep, but can't wake it up without pulling battery.
Few times I went to turn of screen, froze on me before I touched the power button. Other times were random, switching screens, backing out of an app.
Since there is no full root, I only have stock apps. It doesn't reboot, just goes dark and panel stays lit.
Is a reset needed ?
I read the other threads, but phone doesn't reboot. Phone is not on a specific app when freezing, and not getting error of any kind when it freezes, just dark screen and panel light on.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

I would try a factory reset and if that doesn't work then I would take it to sprint and swap it out.

This ^ had a similar problem with my OG only got worse
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Did a factory reset, first time through bootloader. Went through the process but didn't reboot. Had to manual boot through power button.
Started up fine, but since it didn't reboot on its own after factory reset, I chose to do it through settings. Cleared storage card also( nothing special on there) , figured it might help. Process went fine, just no reboot.
Decided to go with it, did the manual boot through power button again.
So far its not freezing, will wait anotherday or so.
Q. If phone is charging while doing a factory reset, will it prevent the reboot, even if battery has enough juice for factory reset.
Q. Will doing a factory reset wipe the cache, or does it need to be cleared in recovery before a factory reset.
Figured id ask if it happens again,
Thanks

My phone started doing this yesterday. I took it into Sprint and ask them not to pull the battery and give it straight to the tech or a manager. Of course be walks away to a sales person and he pulls the battery out then calls me over and asks if i want a tech to look at it. I said no cause the phone obviously worked now. About an hour later my screen became unresponsive. I took it back and told them not to **** with it just give it to the tech. The salesman verified that the screen was dead and told me to come back in 2 hours.
When i came back they told me that they couldn't find anything wrong with my phone. I'm on my 3rd phone now and they said that they will give me one more phone and that's it. I'm scared to get another one cause they have all been so messed up. I've only had this one for 2 days now so I'm going to hang on to it and see if it keeps screwing up. It already looks like I'm starting to have green picture problems to though.

same here havent got an answer, not sure if its a software issue or phone hardware issue , screen goes blank with the screen keys still light up,
did a factory reset its been good for now hopefully stays that way but what does anyone recommend if it happens again, take it back and get a new one?
Same problem here i have been to Sprint 3 times for this issue and every time they just say they will look at it and then do a reset and reflash and send me on my way... Never fixes the problem and they say the wont swap my phone till they can replicate the problem them selves... Pisses me off.
I just had it do it to me twice in last hour
Going to call Sprint

Software issue, keep your panties on and wait for root or an OTA.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
Hi.
My original would freeze and i had to take the battery out. and the resets did not work and it got bad worse i had to take the battery out 5-6 a day. the second one my gps, wifi would not work properly even after resets. my third one would not freeze but my phone display would go off then in 5 sec or so the display would be lit but it was black and my search key would be lit. I did 2 factory resets ad a hard reset and it did not fix the problem. I know the repair stores say they need to replicate the problem to exchange and will do a reset and send you on your way. What i did was that i took pics and video of the problem. and showed the rep at the store. first he had said i had to wait 2 hour for a tech to check it then i showed him the vid and he just went ahead and changed it. So maybe if you have a camera available do this at least you might have a stronger argument.
Had same problem. I my recommendation is either take a video of the problem, or what I did was as soon as this problem happens again just bring it to the store frozen, as soon as it froze I just went to the store.

i am having problems with the screen timeout setting itself to 15 and 30 seconds. also had a couple freezes where i had to do a battery pull. lets all just calm down and wait for full root and we will be able to fix all these software issues ourselves.
Just relax and wait for root. Or call a waaambulance

Hello,
My tablet S shuts down for no reason. I turn it on, and after a while (the time is always different) it shuts down. Does not reboot. Just shuts down.
Sometimes it shuts down right on the unlock screen, sometimes it let's me work with it for around one minute / one minute and a half - it depends.
The strange thing is that if I delete some apps, after it shuts down and I turn it on again, the apps that I deleted are there again. I tried to reset to factory but with no sucess.
Does anyone have a similar problem, or knows why this happens. Sony did not know how to repair it, neither 3rd party houses. One of them said it was the graphic driver, but i found that strange. Could ir be?
Thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same issue, also started around mid Sept 2015. Also not possible to remove apps or do a factory reset. Tried Condi's unbricker: nothing changed. Tried AIO scripts: nothing changed. I am clueless.... If you know more about this issue, please let me know. Factory warranty has just ended and Sony is charging me 195EUR pickup & investigation cost. Ridiculous!

Well, hell. Looks like we are doomed. It's really a shame because despite everything I liked the tablet and used it a lot to read e-books.
I guess all hope is lost.
