This is my very first post here, so bare with me.
I'm a dutch guy who bought a German HTC Mozart.
The firmware I've got is the original T-Mobile DE 1.28 firmware.
Now, whenever I start the camera app it puts the phone to sleep immediately, then wakes it up again, starts camera, goes to sleep again and so on. Sometimes it stops this very quick cycle but if U try to unlock the Startscreen, the camera app is still on and it goes right back to sleep again or shuts down the phone entirely...
I'm getting rather frustrated by this, anybody here know what I'm talking about??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
best regards,
Rico

has anyone come across the problem that when you move to say 3g from gsm or back or you loose signal as your in a bad signal area and then get it back, the phone actually looses the radio says "operation failed" and relocks on to the signal?
mine will sometimes loose the signal need restarting and on the boot screen will show NOGSM when its clearly installed as it worked 20seconds ago. i have tried many types of radio rangeing from 1.07 to 1.41 and all their varients. i am at a loss why my phone just looses it and then forgets it has actually lost it untill i try to make a call or send an sms. no calls or sms's can be received by me whilst the phones done this and it does it a hell of a lot.
sometimes it also just looses the radio half way through a call or data call.
anyone got any ideas?
i have a m3100
IPL 1.04
bootloader 2.10oli
and the XDA live OS installed. however it does it on any OS i have tried so far. and thats alot of them.
Same for me.
Same problem for me.
Often I get the message "operation failed" or "the phone is not ready, wait 15 seconds and try again". Thought it was a problem with the new 1.38 radio, but it seems to be something different.
i also get all those error msg's. i have no idea how to fix it either and no 1 here seems to have a clue either :-(
i Had the same problem with mine it due to hardware i guess. Your phone might have fell down or something then this kind of problem starts I fixed mine by opening my phone up and fixed the arial part properly
torrentulla
is there a guide you follow for that or can you give me any tips to do it myself?
thanks

I fixed my phone almost the same way as Torrentulla did. I'm my case it seems that something was damaged when I dropped my phone a few weeks back. I discovered that when I pushed at a spot right below the flashlight that the radio kept coming up all the time.
These are the steps I took to repair:
Remove all 4 screws (very small torx) at the back of your hermes
Remove back
Put a little piece of paper on the "pressure" spot
Put your phone back together
Turn it on and enjoy!
I hope you'll manage to fix yours aswell!
Phone sometimes shows No GSM, fails to ring
Hey guys, I posted this in the dead hermes thread, but decided to post it here as it's not really bricked. I think it may be a faulty component or something.
My phone was working fine this morning, then in the afternoon I noticed I would have to try to make a call 3 or 4 times before it would go through, it kept on giving me the error (Can't connect, or something along those lines).
Then, I checked my voicemail and found that I had 10 messages from people who had been trying to get in touch with me, but my phone hadn't been ringing.
The kicker came when I soft reset my phone and all of a sudden No GSM popped up! I soft reset it again, and it was gone, and worked fine for a couple of hours. Now its back to not ringing again.
I flashed radio 1.41.00.10 about a week ago, and have been running fine with no problems since. I haven't flashed any rom's in the past week, and this problem just started yesterday. No new software has been installed (except Pimp my black v0.1).
I don't know a lot about the radio, but I didn't think it could become corrupted during regular use, I thought you could only mess it up when you were flashing the phone. I wonder if there is something wrong with the radio? Could the hardware be faulty? This phone is about 8 months old and hasn't had any problems up to this date.
I'm going to flash radio 1.40.10.0 again and see if that makes a difference, but I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing this.
Sorry this post was so long,
Thanks

it seems i don't have a pressure point on mine as the radio is working as and when it likes. which is not alot
gotta sort it out somehow, will take it apart and see if theres anything obvious.
I have the same problem too, phone sometimes shows NO GSM on startup and sometimes it works. Here's where I posted : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306073
Now its not even showing NO GSM it just says: NONE, NONE
Also, I noticed that it will only last about 6 hours on a full charge before the battery is absolutely dead.
I'm beginning to think that it may be my radio 1.41.00.10
It seems strange that all of these people are suddenly having this problem now.
Whats the warranty like on these devices? Is it a 1 years parts and defects warranty? Or is it some ****ty 90 day warranty?
As it is my phone is a piece of garbage, not worth using at all, I am very disapointed in it.
It's a hardware problem.
Hi guys,
I'm experiencing the same problems since two months and I've been struggling with all kind of OS, ROM, RADIO and bootloader, without even gettin close to solve them.
My phone randomly loads the RADIO (otherwise I get the "No Gsm" message), even when loaded, the connection is not suitable and my phone is often unreachable on the net. The battery life is very short because the phone always looses the signal and then seraches till he find it, before loosing it again.
So I disassembled my phone and did a lot of testing with hardware connections. I have found that the motherboard connection with the flash/scroll module isn't stable at all. You can easily move it and find that this affects the phone ability to load the RADIO. It seem strange but it's true. I can't solve the problem and I'm very upset with HTC because of their hardware components lack of quality. I would like to try to change the module to but I can't find a place where i can buy HTC hardware parts.
So I'm going to change my pda, I'll never buy HTC anymore.
Any help?
Has anyone figured out the problem? If it is hardware, what "pressure" spot is it? I tried, but wondered if I'm not in the right place.
In my case it was a spot right below the flash/scroll-part. As said earlier, i put a piece of paper on the spot and reassembled the phone. It still works excellent after a week!
My dopod can't connect to the mobile network as well, but only with the 3 network. It seems fine when being connected to an Optus network. Have you guys tried using a different network simcard?
I'm not sure if mine is a physical problem but maybe a setting which i need to configure so i can connect to a 3 network. Help anyone?
ROM version : Pro BLACK 3.0
ROM date : 01/04/07
Radio version : 1.41.00.10
mine also works just under the flash with the cover off, but if i hold it too hard then the screen goes all white and doesn't work, until i can get the case off its a hit and miss game at the moment.
thanks very much for the tips and help

I cannot agree with this more.
I am sick to death of this phone. I had one of the first in the country for normal sales and spent weeks arguing with HTC who flatly denied the screen alignment issue. EVENTUALLY I got them to fix this after referencing posts in this forum.
I continued to suffer the "coma" software issue - why is it so F*((&&^ dificult for a device to wake up when its auto-sleeped?
And finaly, to top it off, I have been suffering this problem. I cannot express how mad I am. Did I buy a cheap phone? NO. I have had nothing but problems with this phone and will NOT buy another HTC.
Oh and if anyone knows how to repair a failed Radio upgrade, please help me! I don't have any choice but to use it until the IMate Ultimates come out.
Due to seeing this radio problem I thought I would try downgrading the radio from 1.4.summint or other (the latest) to a slightly older version. This was of course before I saw this thread. During the downgrade the installer stopped at 15%. Now no matter what I do it sits at the IPL/SPL screen (3 colour bars+white). I have done the obvious i.e. follow the installers error procedure (remove the battery).
Device: HERM200
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
Please help me be able to use this for another month or two at most - i hope!
Thanks guys

OK Guys
thanks to this thread: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
I now have it trying to boot the o/s. I get the message "No GSM" on the boot screen but when it boots up it asks me for my pin number and freezes. I guess its locking up because it has no "phone" part? According to the instructions in the other thread I am supposed to flash it again but I can't as the phone locks on boot.....
Any ideas?
*FINALY* got it back into pre-flash feck up situation. Sadly, this still leaves me with the hardware problem. HTC can go poke themselves until the cows come home. Im taking my money somewhere else.
Hi guys,
My girlfriend was complaining that her Vibrant kept turning off. I figured it was her first smartphone and she was just doing something silly to it. The only way I could re-start it was to take the battery out and put it back in.
Then it happened to me. Its actually happen to me a few times now, and now its getting annoying.
Today I was driving back from work, listening to a podcast and then the sound cut out. So I looked at the phone to see what was going on, and the phone was off. Again had to take the battery out to get it to reboot. Battery was at 65% when it rebooted.
Later that night, I opened up the browser and the screen froze. This time, my homepage loaded, and then it froze. Again, I had to take the battery out to get it to reboot.
These are the same problems that my girlfriend is having, so now I'm looking for some help.
Our Vibrant's aren't rooted.
I run Launcherpro, she runs stock Touchwiz.
Any help would be grateful.
Thanks
I found a Thread in the I9000 forum. It seems that it is a known issue with Bell Vibrant and Samsung and Bell are working on a fix.
The issue seems to be that when your in an area were signal is weak, the switching of bands causes the phone to freeze. I'm not an expert, just passing on the information found from other users.
But every time my phone and the gf phone has crashed, it has been in an area with weaker signal. My drive home is 5 minutes out of the city of Calgary, it crashed on my way home. My gf phone crashes in her locker at work, the lockers are in the middle of warehouse.
Once I find the thread again, I'll post the link.

I'm using a Vibrant T959 and I'm experiencing the same issues. My phone is set on GSM only but it random shuts off. I tried running a search on "shutting off" and "turning off" but wasn't able to find the old thread you've mentioned above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's annoying as I can miss potentially important calls and not even realize my phone is off.
Thanks,

Hi, im having a MAJOR problem with my HTC HD2. Every time i lock the phone, and turn it back on with the End button the touchscreen locks up and does not work. sometimes it goes on for hours, Unless i take out the battery which is getting quiet annoying..
I think its the New T-mobile Update, or could it be the HSPL? my friend said its software issues but im just not quiet sure, please help me!
DONT REPLY TO THIS THREAD, Instead, Reply here where me and others will post our ROM, Radio, and HSPL version.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841505
I had to send mine into HTC, and this is becoming a problem for many now, and it looks like it's growing. Try waking up with any other button besides the end key after a hard reset or battery pull, this is a temp fix at best, but occasionally it will still freeze. If under warranty I would suggest sending it in under repair and not mess with the new T-mobile update.
What am i supposed to do? Im using my Motorola RAZR until i find a fix or get a new phone which will be a very long time.
Hey,
I had the same issue, we should start tracking it so we find out a common problem, Try posting your HSPL version, rom, and radio in this forum and we can see if we can find a common solution.

Hi everyone, currently have a situation with my HTC HD2. I have the Energy Sense Rom and I just noticed a couple days ago when I try to slide my phone to unlock it, it won't slide at all. Like it won't recognize my finger and only way for me to do anything is take out the battery and put it back in.
Anybody have any idea how this could happen? Is the phone pretty much dying? It gets damn annoying when someone texts me and I can't slide the button over to unlock the phone. Sometimes I just gotta give it time then it would work but who wants to do that? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does this happen in any other applications apart from the lockscreen ?
Sometimes when it does unlock, I won't be able to pick any icon on the screen. Literally the whole screen wouldn't do anything at all. I can't push the start button, I can't click on opera, all I could do is lock up the phone again.
Gets so annoying! I'm gonna try to upgrade the custom rom and see if it does anything.
hate to say it but i think you are going to need to return your phone. likely hardware. this happened to me; hard keys worked but screen was flakey and then stopped worked. by chance, have you used android?

Never used android so I don't think it's android related at all. Just happened out of no where.
Everytime I use my camera on my mozart my phone shuts down completely and starts back up again, it also sometimes freezes, but only when I use the camera
Everything else on the phone works fine, and I have had this phone for 5 months now and have had no problems with it until now.
It is really annoying me because I cannot use the camera as it is guaranteed my phone will shut off.
I have done a hard reset and this didn't fix the problem.
I am not sure whether my phone is under warranty as I purchased it from ebay.
Please help I don't know what to do.
Anyone please?
Someone please help ?
Sorry for the late reply.
Send it to a nearby HTC shop and get it fixed. It could be a hardware problem.
How much will this cost?
warranty should cover it, the mozart does not exists for 2 years

yeah, this phone started 2nd half of 2010?
