same problem, hope it will be fixed.......

No issue here, phone runs perfectly since 2.1 update.
Are you sure it's not because of the JIT Hacks ? Because that's definitely unstable.

JIT hacks? It was updated official, twice... & two times tha same problem occurred

Yep. Definitely didn't use the JIT hack.

I do occasionally have this problem. Mainly if I have the phone plugged in while on the phone, doing anything else with the phone while on the phone or sometimes even when I'm not on the phone but the phone is plugged in... it'll just reboot.
Pisses me off seriously. I've formatted this phone many times.. I've formatted the SD Card many times. Its annoying as hell.

I had JIT but reflashed.
In the beginning I believed it was JITs fault but i still have reboots daily.
Abot 2 or 3 of them daily.
And o have FC from gmail storage and gmail app.
Sent from my X10a running X10i fw

Well, that's another 2 back-2-back booting. As soon as the phone was done loading. About to unlock and boom. Crashed and booted.

It seems to be a hardware problem rather than software or Android problem Did you remember if your HD has fallen in the last days? Try to make it work in Windows or try to hard reset your Phone if everything goes wrong. Maybe you are lucky. With my previous phone I had similar problems.
it isnt a hardware-problem, in windows mobile is no problem, i have tried the last 30 minutes without freeze
and no, my hd2 has not fallen, till yesterday 5 pm were everything ok, without any freeze in last months
I get that occasionally too. I have just reported sometimes as many as 3 times before it behaves.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
me too
happens to me too, from time to time.
freeze last about 2 secs max.
Im using evo kernel (20?, oct) and the android 2.2.1 build.
okay....it was a silent death of my TS ...
now under windows mobile wont work too (with original wm build...)
i wrote htc support for repair/change of the phone...i hope they will answering fast *cry*
iAm also having this problem, iThought it was my android build at first but iTried a different one and it still continued to freeze. Then iUsed wmo for a whole day and the freezing attacks continued.
I am having the same problem myself!
Whenever I use the red power button, whether it is for waking up out of standby or using a long press to activate the Phone Options menu, the touch screen stops working.
I have found that waking up the phone, then quickly putting it back to sleep and waking it up again gives me about a 90% chance of it working. So I have to press the power button 3 times in quick succession to wake up my phone now.
I hope I won't have any serious long term effects on my phone, but I'm definitely going to be talking to HTC and T-Mobile about this soon.
it happenned with me also when im using 16 gb memory that come from the phone. but when im using smaller one (8gb class 2), it work fine. maybe 16 gb took long time to read.my suggestion try it with smaller capacity or you can buy new one with higher class(6 or maybe 10)

Most annoying posting style ever.
iRecommend selling your HD2 and buying an iPhone.
Have you wifi on ? If I use wifi or wifi hotspot then after the phone wakes up I always get a touchscreen freeze it's definitely not the hardware.
Tried G sensor fix? i.e. editing AK8973Prms.txt
This has something to do with android on the hd2 eventually causing it, I work for tmo n see all the issues with the hd2 n this has never been an issue so I thought it was just me when it happened to me I just exchanged my hd2 and its fixed but now I see more people having the issue n the only thing thats common is we use android

iRecommend for you not to replay if you dont have a solution to the problem at hand.
I think it's due to the G Sensor. I have meet this before and have some test on my HD2. I found that if some application running on G Sensor, it may cause the freeze, ie GPS, Google Map, Compass. I am not sure this is due to my setting.
I shut down the G Sensor by Gscript and the script below found in XDA and seems this help. I hope this can help you too.
1. Create a script name 'Stop'.
SU is required, input
mv /system/bin/akmd /system/bin/akmd2
killall akmd
save this script and run, it will shut down the G Sensor.
2. Create a script name 'Start'
SU is required, input
mv /system/bin/akmd2 /system/bin/akmd
/system/bin/akmd
save this script, and you can run this to restart the G Sensor while u need it again.
I dont' know whether there is some widget or application to control the G Sensor better, but you can try this first to check if G Sensor cause this problem.
I found if shut down G Sensor, the GPS won't work. If anyone have idea how to make GPS work without G Sensor please advice.

Turn your WIFI off then put it to sleep, works for me 100% of the time.
Same problem here. All ROMS based on HTC Sense freeze. Press the turn off button once and wait for 5 or 10 mins, and then the phone doesn't come back from lock anymore. This issue doesn't seem to be happening with any Nexus one Roms.
I have tried all possible solution, WM roms change, SetCpu, etc...

If press turn off button while it's freeze, it's hard to come back from lock. While it's not freeze, press any key while the phone is locked, if the screen is not come back, I still can touch the screen and the unlocked screen will be come back again.
I think it's a problem that the screen won't turn on immediately after we press the button, but at that moment, the phone can receive our control by touch the screen. If it's freeze, touch screen is not work, so keep dark. But if it's not freeze, the screen will be on. So I think it's the problem to solve the freeze problem.

[Q] Problem to dial with FreeX10 Beta 3

I might have found a bug in FreeX10 Beta 3. Have used this ROM a couple of days now and I'm very happy with it. However, today I discovered a quite nasty bug. All of a sudden I couldn't make a normal telephone call. The phone seemed to work normally, but was completely silent. Like you have a bluetooth headset connected and forget to use this. Nothing happened at all, and no call was made.
I could terminate the call and make a new one with the same (negative) result. I had to reboot the phone to solve the problem. By then everything was Ok again.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
( I had to formulate this bug report as a question in this thread since I'm not allowed to post in the development thread)
no, i'm using it for a few days now, and made several phonecalls. and all was very well. never had a problem with it

[Q] Samsung Galaxy 5 i5503 suddenly turn off

I'm using android 2.1. The device suddenly Turn Off, the only way to turn it on is by remove the battery.
After that i upgraded it to android 2.2 using KIES, the same problem still happen.
Need help, Please.
can 't understand your problem please mention more details(it turned off when you are running a specific app. or doing a specific action and when it turns off you mean that never turns on again unless you remove the battery ) and i 'd like to know if your phone is a middle east version because i 'm from Egypt and my phone version like you i5503 and it has no firmware except the 2.1 version and its sucks

I5500 here...
While I did not had this issue with stock 2.1.1 ROM, I had it with 2.2 (tested with NEE, XEU & PHB). After putting the battery back in and restarting the phone, my icons and widgets just disappeared from all of my virtual desktops on device. After trying to browse all my installed apps I go the loading beach ball of death. I've waited for half an hour and finally fixed the issue with a factory reset. No it was not the redraw lag... icons just disappeared and refused to appear again no matter how much I waited for them The same thing also happened after my phone self-restared itself without any intervention from my side
It looks like it could be a better idea to stick with the MAD Team releases of FroYo which have some issues fixed. As for me - I switched back to 2.1.1 even it is somewhat limited by features comparing to FroYo. It was maybe some incompatible app that messed up my FroYo, but it is strange that one week after going back to 2.1.1 I had no issue like this even using the same apps. Time will show ;-)
To moderator : double posting. could you please remove this one...
i have same problem with my Galexy 5 (GT-I5503),my phone randomly power down,my firmware version is 2.1-update1
please help what was happend for my cell phone

[Q] Phone dials in speaker mode?

hey all,
I am not new to roms or kernels, etc. I have been addicted since my G2.
For the life of me, in the last two days, I cant figure out why my phone goes into speaker mode when I dial a number.
I am sure there is an easy fix. I was using Cognition 1.51 but went back to 1.42 and am using speed mod T27.
Is there a setting I am missing out on?
Thanks for you help, I am tired of having to remove from speaker mode and am close to doing a full wipe and install but would like to avoid this if possible
Edit: I cleaned the USB port and although it was clean, its seems to have made a difference, although it still happens on most calls. Could this be possible?
I am too having the same problem...this is frustrating
Hey there!
Same thing just started happening for me today
Although it doesn't affect all the calls and all numbers, but certain numbers, when they call me, I have this problem
Also, a reboot doesn't help, and the pattern is erratic.
Meaning sometimes the same number calls me, it happens, but sometimes it doesn't.
HEY GUYS!
Do you use GOsms pro? There is a bug report that the version dated 29 Aug messes around with the speaker calls, and the symptoms are consistent with what I'm experiencing, after just updating two days ago
I have updated to the 31 Aug version and will observe if there are anymore such symptoms. Keeping my fingers crossed!

i use Go SMS....I will update it again right now..Hope it will fix
Check the Cognition thread folks,even after updating GO SMS it still happens, even people who don't use GO SMS have this problem which would lead me to believe it is a bug with this latest version of Cognition that needs to be resolved.

Cognition?
Thanks All!
Glad its not something stupid I had done
Updated goSMS and went back to using Cognition 1.40
All seems fine now, will recharge and reboot a few times and see if it happens again
I've had the same issue since i got the phone this monday.
I were ready to have it replaced and found this thread.
Updated go sms pro to todays version and it solved the issue.
Thanks!
Having the same problem too. I haven't rooted my phone (yet) so using standard Samsung rom. It happens on some (not all) calls and is annoying. Recently had other problems with the phone going into carmode by itself. Those seem to have stopped after cleaning the usbport. But the speakermode is persistent. Even after updating GoSms. It appears lots of users are having problems with the S2. This can't be a coincidence. Major flaw from Samsungs side imo...
Apparently after updating, it could happen again
Check out the changelog on GoSMSpro, it states:
2. Fix bug of call is defaulted to speaker(After update, if speaker is still on due to previous version's bug, turn off,it will be OK later)
Wtf?
For the record, it happened to me again today. Impacted one particular number, but subsequently same number called, the speaker was not activated..
Why oh why did they have to mess with calling
Mine is well and truly fixed now.
Back on Cognition 1.40 and Using Ragemod V2 T27 and the update to Go SMS and everything is perfect.
For me I think the GoSmS update was the fix but I reflashed before applying their update.
Problem solved is the main thing

[Q] Urgent************A116 operates on its own

Hi All,
I have A116, which behaving bit weird. 6 months back, while on charging, it started operating on its own, when I removed it from charging, it stopped. While on charging with that particular charger, issue was there. I changed the charger, everything was OK. Recently, on a ugly morning, I answered a call at 5 am and around 6 am I tried to make a call and found that screen is absolutely irresponsive. Sometime later it unlocked on its own, started operating on its own, like opening any random app or web or anything and does some random operation. Tried to power reset the phone half a dozen time no go, removed both SIM and memory card. still the same. This has completely wiped out my phone data (phone book, all SMS, photo, mp3's video's), factory reset in other words (on its own). I was told its battery issue, changed that too. no go. . This is happening not always, it happens for a while and then behaves normal and after 5 minutes old story repeats.
The best part it had wiped out avast anti-virus too....
Any one heard of this..? Any solution without going to service center..?
thanks,
Narendra

Thats a big problem i think you have installed some malicious app with root permission or this is the problem with your TP. I think there might have been a problem while your TP would have been updated.
Solution:-
1. Go to micromax service center and tell them ur problem.
2. Try to flash stock rom again with sp flash tools.
3. If you are already on 4.1 than update to 4.2 else do vice versa.
Important:-TP means Touch Panel
My solution will definately help you :good:

the problem you are reporting is common in most canvas phones with older firmware. update the firmware

it's easy. check this out.

use factory reset to flash the new firmware. (you can root and install recovery if you want)
I faced a similar problem some time back.
I visited the service center in Azadpur(or nearby Azadpur Metro station, do not remember the exact address) and they fixed it in 30 minutes of wait time. Try visiting their service center..I had stock ROM back then though..!!
High Voltage
when u get high voltage in your supply....
it happens like this.......
no need to flash again......

you got the same old stock firmware alright. but it's the newer one. Micromax has updated their stock rom many times since android 4.1
v1 - Android 4.1.2 Initial version. Lots of bugs. You could install Flipboard app and see the entire device bricked.
v2 - Android 4.1.2 Update. Flipboard bug fixed. Yet there was another issue, which caused the touch pad to malfunction while charging. other bugs include the app storage issue. you can't install apps in external sd card and storage space was very small.
v3 - Android 4.2.1. TouchPad issue was fixed. Apps can be installed on external sd card. OTA firmware update support was added but it doesn't work.
v4 - Android 4.2.1 Update - New Camera App. OTA issue was never fixed.
v5 - the newest firmware from micromax which was launched with Micromax A116i. No bugs so far.
Micromax service center must have updated your firmware to Android 4.2.1. version 3
Ur problem was because of charging...
Voltage problem not a software problem...
Use ur own charger without any extension or any external supply...
U will not face any issue like this...
