I flashed the ROM to my wife's phone and it was running fine up until today. Now it switches screens on its own (only to the left). I was thinking it could have been an app she downloaded but she said she hasn't downloaded any new ones in two days. It's only Sense UI that does it. She force stopped it, cleared defaults and is using Home. Now it's not happening.
Any ideas? She has it with her at work so we can't really mess with it right now but I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues.

Its a problem with the usb port and the magnents in the trackball. It will start by scrolling to the left only when plugged in but after more time it will constantly do it even if its not plugged in. My wife and I had the same problems and they sent us 2 new phones the next day.
Visit a Verizon Tech store or call them up.
Ok... I wasn't sure if it was hardware or software. She said it's been fine all day, but she hasn't charged it. Looks like I'll be downgrading back to stock and exchanging it if I can.
*I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. It's running Ivans 1.0. I just called Verizon though, when she's here with the phone we're going to go over some trouble shooting and hopefully they'll send over a new one.
Yea, I took both of our phones in along with the usb cord and showed them what was going on, no questions asked they replaced our phones with the v3 leak. Now I have root and loving it also.
Good luck you shouldnt have any problems getting new ones.

First off: Let me clarify that I searched the forums but could not find any thread that described my problem. If this has already been answered, please help me close this thread.
I'd been running the Desire V5 Android build with Jul 23rd zImage for a while now without any problems.
I recently started having lag, slowdown and non-responsive touchscreen (I'd have to wake my device many times before it started responding). Last evening, it stopped responding completely. I pulled the battery and booted back to Windows, only to see that that touchscreen wasn't working even there!
Worried, I flashed the shipped ROM for my T-Mo HD2 - no SPL (RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship) and the touchscreen started working again.
I thought everything was fine and started Android, and found that the touchscreen stopped working.
Now, even reflashing the shipped ROM doesn't seem to do anything.
What can I do? Should I do a Task <what>? Has anyone seen/had this problem before? I'm hoping it isn't defective hardware.
Ok, got it working
Ok, I got it working again.
1. I did a Task 29 using (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781&highlight=Task29, ShaDrac's repack).
2. Flashed a ROM (I used the T-Mobile stock ROM, but I guess anything else would have worked too).
Hope this helps if someone else faces the same problem!
I wonder why this happened, though.
Im glad you got it fixed
Maybe you can put a [fixed] or something in the thread title to help others?
Just a thought

Guess I spoke too soon! The problem is back, and this time I didn't even boot into Android. Guess it's the hardware. I'll just have to install the stock ROM with SPL and go back to T-Mobile!

I have the same problem. Right now, I think it's the hardware. Just sat down the other day with my HD2 in my pocket. Maybe it has been bent or something like that. I don't know....
the same thing is happening to me..at first if i locked my phone and the screen wudnt respond..now it wont respond at all..i tried flashing it..still not working!!..has to be something with android..i installed a new android build the day b4....or the new cookies home tab replacement...i installed that too...dont kno wat to do now...
I have had the same exact problem.. the touchscreen stopped working when my friends and some chicks were taking pic (EMBARASSING ) ).. and i even tried it on windows mobile, didnt work. tried that yellowish button in the back of the phone to reset it.. nothing happened.. so i plugged in my phone to charge up (IN WINDOWS since i couldnt boot into android.) It was charging the whole night, and when i woke up the issue is gone, havent had it at all after that.
i am almost positive its hardware; you all are describing the same exact problem i had a month back. i finally had enough and called htc, found out the phones are warrantied for a year and sent it in for repairs. took about 3 weeks and my phone was back, 100% fixed and cost me nothing out of pocket (well except the cost of shipping the phone to them). instead of fighting it, call htc......i was so glad when i got this problem fixed it was so damn annoying! good luck all
Thread moved to Q&A.
I had the same problem a few months back. It is certainly hardware. I had this problem before android was available on our hd2's. I task29'd it, flashed to stock rom, and reverted to stock spl. Nothing fixed it so I had to send it back to T-Mobile.

So heres the story, My Mom was due for an upgrade. We researched and researched until we were about MAD. And we finally decided on the Droid x2. She finally recieved it in the mail today and we got it activated. The thing is buggy as mess. You can simply unlock the phone and it randomly brings menus, the internet browser, and apps up at will. It brings up the power off and Air plane mode options when the power button has not even been touched. Heck, it even pulls up the Calender app when you click on the Market Application. She is very dissapointed and we don't know what to do. Should she:
1. Maybe wait for an OTA that addresses these issues?
2. Do a factory reset?
3. Return the phone and get a refurb/different phone?

Return the phone and get another brand new one. There's definitely something wrong with the touch screen. You can try a factory reset first, if you like.
Indeed - Do #2 while calling Verizon for a #3 replacement. It sounds like you got a seriously screwy X2!

I think I fixed it! I read earlier on droid forums that Moto Blur is bad at memory management so I downloaded Advanced task killer and killed all the apps currently running. Since I have done that no weird things have happened.
EDIT: NEVERMIND!!! UGH..
Definitely exchange it. Sounds like you got a bad phone. The X2 should not be acting like that at all.
you still have a problem / issues
task killer is not the answer
Ok guys its all good now. I got on the phone with Verizon and they told me to take it to my local Verizon store for a replacement. After a head ache of a time with a bunch of goobers who didn't even know how to use the blasted things beside doing a factory reset we got a brand new x2. Its running like a dream with absolutely no problems. She loves it!
Thanks for your help!
I have random reboots just got it off the charger and rebooted.i was with t mobile and had g2x that had similar issue if it continues I will return it.

I just got mine today. I had 3 droid x's that had to be exchanged due to DOA warranty replacements. They finally sent me a DX2. It would not activate. When i touched the droid it went thru the activator and constantly pushed the one key. there was no keypad on the screen. they are sending me another one. somehow i took it to the verizon store and the guy just touched it and it worked fine. Now i get it home and its laggy as hell. I think im going to send the first one back and keep the replacement. Anyone have issues with this as of yet?

Exactly what was happening to my Mom's DX2. Phone was imputing commands when the screen was not being touched. Took it up to Verizon and it worked beautifully for the guy. We waited till the manager came and she got us a replacement. Its working great.
Well i have had it up to my ears in these replacements. Im really getting to know the fedex guy. while i was seeing if anyone else had these problems the phone screen started going glitchy on me. It was blinking and went to the dialer and the browser just sitting on my desk. I think there is only one alternative to this. The customer service manager will call me tomoro to check if i have everything working. I can almost guarantee it will not be. either she exchanges it for something else with a 4.3 inch screen. they told me that it can only be exchanged for something in the same range and they offered me a vortex. I dont know how they even compare in the same universe. I think ill complain enough and go to the store and see about getting another phone, or i will just take my business over to sprint (which they can see from their store in the mall) and get a nexus or an evo. Im tired of this replace after replace bull. Anyone else have these thoughts?
So, I guess I will be returning to Sprint today to exchage my photon yet again. This will be my 3rd time taking my phone back. I upgraded from an Evo that never gave me one problem and it was my rooting/flashing/hacking guinea pig.
My first phone had a screen glitch and would look fuzzy after it warmed up from normal use. This one has been shutting down on me after it sits idle for a few minutes. I will use it for a while and it fine. I set it down and come back a few minutes later and its off and wont boot. I have to pull the battery on this thing 10 times a day. However, if I have it docked or I am using it everything is fine. I have recently flashed the new update and rooted hoping that would help but it hasnt.
Crazy to think I have had 2 phones both with problems and my buddy hasnt had a single problem with his.
Sounds like a bad batch or one heck of a coincidence. Mabe try getting Sprint store to order you a new replacement instead of getting another one from their current inventory. When the Photon works properly it's a great phone. Regardless Sprint will make it right.
Yeah, I cant complain about Sprints service so far and I do like the phone regardless of the problems I have had. I just hope the bugs get worked out and it gets as much support as the Evo. I was so disappointed with the 3D, which is why I went with the Photon.
My sister had a similar problem with the Moment, she too had it replaced 3 times, the forth one worked fine. One of my EVO's 4G had the infamous charging port disconnect/breakage issue and had to be replaced as well. So far the Photon is okay except the call bug, but thats no longer a problem after doing the steps outlined in the development section. Hope you get a good replacement.

Sounds like you need to go to another sprint store

Hey whats up everyone. Ok long story short, I got the evo3d the first day it came out. Also rooted it with the first solution and never installed a custom rom for a while. Now a while back I started experiencing problems like when i touch a number key it either presses another, or sometimes enters it twice. It basically is making the phone impossible to use. I then figured maybe it had something to do with the original rom and the phone being rooted. So I then installed ViperRom as so many people have good things to say about it. The rom worked good for about a week or so and then the problem came back with the buttons just having a mind of its own. Now sometimes it will work with no issues for hours on end, and sometimes it just goes beserk from the get go. If anyone has experienced this and can please suggest something as Im ready to just call it in lost and have them send me a new one but if I can fix it I would much prefer that as I plan on just having it flashed to boost anyways since I've never used the 4g since the day ive gotten the phone.
Thanks in advance
Frankie
I had this problem with another phone and I reinstalled my keyboard, because that's what was causing it.

It sounds like you've got issues with your digitizer. The only sure fix is to get a replacement.
response
Do you think maybe just trying to flash it back to stock would resolve the issue or possibly trying another rom? It happens so sporadic and only started after I rooted the phone. Also, to the poster above how do you reinstall your keyboard?

You can try to return to stock/unrooted and see if you can repeat the issue. And I didn't mean reinstall the keyboard, the digitizer is part of the touch screen assembly, so if you can repeat the problem for a sprint rep, they may give you a new/replacement phone.
Flashing back to stock, flipping kernels etc... Didn't fix mine. I had to get 2 of these 3d's until the 3rd finally worked. It's the digitizer.

TL;DR check the last post
Has anyone else been experiencing random reboots lately? Mine seems to be intermittent, i used my phone for three hours straight two days ago and everything was fine. The damn thing just rebooted on me three times in the span of about an hour, two were within ten minutes of each other. I'm running cleanROM v1.4 with no cpu control apps, and I haven't changed anything in about 1.5-2 weeks.

I'm running CleanRom 4.5 and have only experienced 1 random reboot. My girlfriend on the other hand is running stock gingerbread and experienced 5 random reboots yesterday. I asked her what she was doing at the time, and she was of no assistance. Definately something to keep an eye on!
I got pissed and wiped everything, then reinstalled CleanROM DE with only the apps I use frequently and everything has been fine so far, haven't had one yet. Maybe it was a buggy app or something else because during this time my extended battery said it was at 80% then after one of the reboots it said 17% and I was like wtf? After the clean install it said 66%!

Are you s-off ? if not make sure you are flashing the boot.img after installing the ROM. Or if you are on GB firmware your installing the firmware patch if installing an ics ROM.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Yea I have, it's nothing that simple sadly. At first I thought it was a buggy app so I wiped /data and only installed a few apps I use constantly, but it still happened. So I did a fresh install of the current rom I was on and didn't install any apps or restore any data, but it still did it. I just flashed another rom without restoring anything to see if it still happened and it did. I had an idea that it may be the latest radio image that caused it so I flashed to the one before the latest leak, but it still does it.
I'm currently in the process of flashing the original GB RUU to see if it still does it. If it does then I know it's definitely a hardware problem. If you couldn't already tell yes I am S-Off
So the RUU didn't fix it but it did lessen the reboots. Now when I wake the phone up while running Gingerbread the data connection will take a minute or two to connect and will drop out sometimes while the screen is on.
It rebooted on me last night. Also during the night it did a factory reset (or I did it in my sleep!) because when I woke up the phone was at the "choose your language" screen and after I left that all my downloaded apps were gone.
I also just got the OTA adr6425lvw_2.01.605.11-1.02.605.6 but it won't stick.
WTF is going on here? Do you guys think I need to do an insurance claim?

My GF's stock Rezound reboots pretty frequently too... Mine never does, even stock it didn't. After the last fiasco with VZW and sending phones back and forth she's not going to want to swap it out again :-/

Edit: In the past 8 hours I haven't had any random reboots or radio problems (yet), but the battery stats still seem to be wacky (another symptom I forgot to mention). I had the phone off because the battery was dead and I was charging it at my cousin's house. When I left I turned the phone on and in a span of about ten minutes it first reported a reading of 40%, I opened an app for a few minutes and when I looked at it again it was down to 20%, a minute later it was down to 9%. I decided to shut it off for a few minutes, took the battery out and put it back in, then after I booted up it showed 55%! I also had my extended battery with me at the time which I thought was full but when I put it in, my Rezound just went to the white HTC screen and after a battery pull it wouldn't turn back on so I figured it was dead. I just put it back in now and tried to charge it, it's actually at 94%!
I'm currently on GB Firmware, running CleanROM DE v1.4. Before yesterday (?) I have been on ICS Firmware since the initial leak of ICS IIRC.
It just started this crap again about 4 days ago, I was getting one per day on ICS. I ran the original GB RUU four times (twice, tested it out for a few minutes and noticed that data kept dropping out, then ran it again twice) and it still does it.
Before I ran the RUU I was on ConROM when it started so I flashed Nils latest work, when it started to happen again I flashed the kernel in TWRP, when that didn't work I flashed it directly via HBOOT (extracted the PH98IMG from the zip), which still didn't fix it.
I'm beginning to think that I did damage the radios during the S-Off process since I was one of the people that had been trying to run the exploit since v0.01, also during the later tries I realized that I was shorting out the wrong pins at one point After I switched to the correct pins and used v0.02 or v0.03 it works and I had S-Off.
I'm about to go back to S-On and see if it still happens.....
Just came back from Verizon and they're going to replace it for free since it's covered under the MFG warranty since the phone is only 8 months old.
I love how clueless their employees are: I told a guy that my phone was rebooting constantly and that that it keeps losing its connection to 4G (then demonstrated that it had lost it's connection even though mobile data was turned on and when I cycled it it would re-connect), he was about to mention a factory reset but I said I had done about 20 factory resets (didn't mention RUUs or anything) before he even got the words out, so he passed me off to their "tech guy".
Here's the real kicker...
I told him that the data radio keeps shutting off and it reboots constantly. His response was "the what?!" I told him 4G/the internet connection and that I've done numerous factory resets and he then said "we'll ship you a new one."
This is about the 5th time and 3rd different store where Verizon's employees have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. Half the time it isn't even tech related, I've schooled them on their own products and promotions multiple times (namely the 2 month return policy before christmas and the half-off extended battery deal [2 out of 3 employees in the same store didn't know that one])! It's pretty damn sad when a customer who reads Android blogs knows more about the promotions than an official Verizon employee....

If a phone randomly reboots in your pocket, or while you're sleeping... Would you know? I had 7 origional droids, 5 bionics, a rezound, a gnex, and a galaxy tab. I have yet to own an android device that doesn't randomly reboot. I have had devices up tor 11 days without it happening, but inevitability, it happened. I think its related to ram. I never really looked into, but its just a hunch. From what I see on my rezound it is just the shell rebooting and not the device. You are just too much of a fanboy to see that due to many factors, especially fragmentation, that android is super clunky. It is also generally bugged. I am typing this on my bugged sense keyboard, from my bugged WebKit browser. What made android good was open source. It isn't like that anymore.
