I don't know what the heck is going on with my HTC HD2, but the reboots are getting quite annoying.
Furthermore i noticed it happens when i utilize the cpu heavily.
Mostly with streaming video or playing games.
Have done multiple hard resets, rom updates and even custom roms but nothing seems to work.
Sometimes my phone even reboots(soft resets) after watching 5 whole seconds of youtube
So even directly after a hard reset the problem persists.
I'm totally confused right now(because i have tried everything i could do to fix this problem).
I am thinking could it be the battery not giving enough juice for the task? overheating ? or just faulty hardware?
what do you guys think?
because i noticed that the problem is happening more frequently over time.
Edit: it rebooted even in idle a moment ago (1th time) ???
Similar issue with youtube freeze and reset
I can validate your frustration. I am having problems with my HD2 freezing up as well and doing a soft reset on it's own. So the YouTube app opens up the HTC player and then it will play a few seconds and then freeze up. I also opened an MP4 movie file and view it with the HTC player and that also froze it. Last but not least, I have TomTom and that froze it after 15 minutes last night.
I have seen some postings that Tmobile and HTC will be releasing a new rom to fix some memory leaking issues so perhaps that might be it.
It started happening about a week ago for me. Please post any solutions you might find.
I am on:
OS v.5.2.21889
Mania v.2.5.20121412.1
ROM v.2.10.531.1 WWE
Radio v. 2.08.50.08.2
I have done some trail and error, played around with coreplayer and i noticed that when i set the video quality to FLV medium quality in the buildin youtube app in coreplayer i won't reboot that quick anymore, but after a couple of seconds it will eventually still reboot. If i set quality to high quality/high bandwidth i will reboot much faster (so this let's me think about some kind of memory leak/buffer overflow).
Furthermore luckly i don't have any problems with playing mp4 videos in coreplayer, i have tested this especially because of the youtube reboots, and it will keep playing for 1,5 hour without any problems, so maybe you could try coreplayer and see if that's a solution for your mp4 problem ?
But eventually it would be nice if these problems where sorted out so that the device will work like it is supossed to be
Already tried a TASK29 and a flashing a stock ROM from your SD card?
Ye, have tried task 29 (between each roms, i do use task to make sure that the phone is empty.) and when i went back to my 1.72 stock rom i did flash it from SD, but still no luck.
this happened to me today as i was logging onto the net. it did a full master reset.
Same thing happened to me after the unit froze. I pulled the battery, put it back in an it went into this continuous loop of starting up, going through the first couple of screens and then rebooting. What I eventually found to be the problem was that I had inadvertently bent one of the battery pins when I put the battery back in, not much but just enough to where it wasn't making contact. After I carefully straightened it out the issue was gone and it fired up as usual. I love simple fixes, of course this was after I task 29'd and reflashed which didnt correct the problem.

hmm i only got the problem while i'm watching streaming video through 3g and on usb > active sync > pc data connection / some (cpu intensive) games
with wifi no problems at all, it plays youtube for more then a hour without a reboot, and i tested it multiple times to make sure), and booting is just fine without a single hickup

Hey, thank you @thompsd. This was driving me crazy on my phone. I finally took it back to a TMobile store for replacement and they put me on the phone with support before they would issue a replacement. Of course I was bewildered when they had me take out the battery and put it back in (which I had done a zillion times) and the phone suddenly worked. The person on the phone told me that it was fixed because I had to keep the battery out for at least 90 seconds. This made absolutely no sense, but it was hard to argue with success. I walked out of the store with my head hung low in shame.
Tonight, sitting in an airport lounge waiting for a flight, I noticed that my phone was hung so I pulled the battery to reset it. When I put the battery back in and started it, the phone went into the reboot loop -- displaying the boot screen for a couple of seconds and then shutting down and rebooting. I pulled the battery for 90 seconds. 120 seconds, 5 minutes. No joy. Realizing that this solution made absolutely no sense in the first place, I decided to search around again.
I found your reply in this thread and looked at my battery contacts. One of them was bent. I straightened it out, put the battery back in and the phone booted right up. Now I realize that when I was on the phone with TMobile, I must have put the battery back in that one time in such a way that inadvertently straightened the pin.
Hi all,
I have (maybe) the same problem with my HD2 i.e. when it is "doing something", well not idle, it sometimes restarts itself and then usually will not get out of the cycle of crash/reboot untill I remove the battery and wait for a few minutes before starting it again.
This is always more frequent if I am using a serious application such as sat nav. It also has only happened when the unit is connected to power, either on my desk or in the car (different power sources), but disconnecting it from the power after the cycle has started doesn't help.
I have assumed from the symptoms that it is caused by overheating and so leaving it switched off for a period allows it to cool.
I have got a return packet from Vodafone to send it for repair but I am loath to do this as it is likely to take 10 days and I suspect I might either get a recon unit back or "no fault found".
Does anyone think this could be battery related? If so I would buy a 2nd battery and test it.
Cheers, Gordon
I can confirm having the same problem.
Using BattClock (which shows a.o. the battery temperature) I was able to establish that the resets and reset loops happen once the battery temperature exceeds 31-32°C.
Contacted HTC support and received reply that the phone qualifies for repair.
PS. My wife just suggested providing me with a cooler bag, so I can enjoy reset-free phone during summer heatwave...
I had similar behavior, but it was due to the new ROM release (4/28/10). I loaded the official T-Mobile release date ROM (2/19/10) and the problem went away.
L.B.
Yesterday my battery charge got very low and shut the phone down. When I turned the phone back on without charging it kept rebooting time after time. I tried plugging the charger in but that didn't help. I took out the battery and put it back in and that still didn't help. I finally caught it when it was rebooting and pressed volume down and got the phone in bootloader to at least stop the constant rebooting. I left the phone on the charger and after about 1/2 hour I pulled the battery and put it back in and the phone was fine.
I am not wanting this to happen again. Maybe I will go back to an older ROM.
if i have some luck i will receive my phone tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
i will let you know what has been repaired and if this solved the reboot problem.
today i received my phone back from the repair center.
The repair letter says that the display has being changed because it was not functioning anymore? (but when i sent the phone in the display was working like it should).
And the youtube problem is still there
Im having the same problem! i figure it was the battery overheating...or the rom or even probably a not compatible radio.....try to change all of these and is still restarting when ever it tries to connect to any data or internet usage. Ex. youtube, downloading of files from the internet, Remote Desktop even Microsoft My Phone still restarts.
even when i used to make/receive phone calls it would restart as soon as i picked it up to talk. but for this i had a solution witch as of now is working fine with out a problem.
if anybody else has this problem with the Receiving/making calls this should work.
1. Go to: Start/Settings/Connections
2. is the "TASK" tab choose "Manage Existing Connections"
3. In the "Modem Tab" has for options to choose from, normally is on "Auto", this was the problem. you would want to get it OFF AUTO.
4. Try all the other " voice Stream options Shown" and see witch one works for you without giving problems, and save. Im currently using "wap.voicestream.com." witch is the second option after Auto.
Well i hope this works for you guys if ur having similar problems, its actually work for me. GooD luck! hope this helps.

is it possible for me to know where can i get this ROM??
(official T-Mobile release date ROM (2/19/10).
this week i will receive my phone back for the 2th time.
Hopefully they have found the faulty component of the phone.
I will keep you informed
OK my Atrix just rebooted 2 times today. This is getting pretty annoying.
I saw few Threads on the forum about reboots already but couldn't find an answer weather or not replacing the phone fixed the issue for people who had it. And thought the pool will be useful to see what the current situation is. Should i replace mine or it is software related and all phones have same issue??
Some of the reboots are can be missed bu user as they happens when phone just idles the good way to check is to: do dial
*#*#4636#*#* and go to "battery Information" -> Time since boot:
If you see that this time is less then what you think it should be(you know when you last rebooted).
On the side note i saw few threads where people where complaining about the battery life, an it might be connected as those reboots do reset the battery timer.
What about an option for something like
Had random reboot issue, didn't do anything about it and haven't had another one
I vote for that one..
Was it completly random, or you where installing something/playing game/using app etc.
Also is it possible that you didn notice it? Mine rebooted atleast 3 times where i found out that it did only after checking service menue (battary information->Time since boot)
i have been using it for 2 weeks and not a single random reboot
Have had mine for a few days and have not seen or felt one random reboot...

It was completely random although I'm sure something was running in the background that made it reboot. I've kept a very close eye on the phone since I got it so this was the only time it happened.
I'll vote once i've had my phone longer than a day lol
Had it since feb 22, no reboots so far. I would change it under warranty.

i exchanged a phone due to a faulty usb port the other day, had it 2 weeks and it just stopped working. never had a random reboot.
got the replacement on sunday, and noticed today as i was putting it into the locker at the gym it rebooted. only time i've noticed.
I'll check some more this weekend, but I did have an issue while in the music player in car dock mode. Music would stop playing, the phone appeared to lock up, then it rebooted itself. Happened a couple times in this situation. I thought it might have been tasker (as that was the last thing I installed). I did a factory reset, loaded up pretty much the same stuff as previous, minus tasker. It did the same thing once. Hasn't done it again. Will know more later this week when I have time to force the issue, if it's going to occur again.
So, this wasn't really random, as it occurred during a specific activity (car dock, music player). Right now, too many variables to pin it down.
My reboots have only occurred during music playing...ive done numerous searches to find a fix to no availe...i'll give it til the end of the week, do a factory reset, see how it does and go from there...what the hell i'll keep it until the 20th and take it back if it still occurs
Interesting, vote break out almost evenly, as half of the voter have reboots and the other half doesn't. Also i thought a lot more people exchanged their phones but looks like most people (including me) with reboots are waiting on some kind of confirmation of what is causing the issue. Is it software or hardware???
Mine rebooted also today while I was using the music player and the last app that I installed was an app killer watchdog lite. this is the first time I've seen it but it might have rebooted by itself without me noticing it
The culprit might be the music player but I wanna make sure if it will happen again during music play
I forgot where I read this but apparently there's supposed to be a fix for this but they weren't sure why it's not being pushed out yet.
I got my Atrix on Friday night and had it reboot several times, before finally freezing, then crashing while running an app. I took it back to AT&T the next day and switched it out for a new one totally free. With the second I have been having no problems at all, so I think it is just a problem with certain, random, handsets rather than a problem for all of the phones.
Atrix random reboot
Have had my Atrix for one week. The first 24 hours it rebooted 2X, the second day it rebooted 6X. I have been reading these and many other posts. Uninstalled Advanced Task Killer and phone stayed alive for a day. Opened the back and double-checked the insertion of the SIM card and it's been up for 44 hours without a reboot. I will be near an AT&T store on Sunday. Think I'll try a new one. I love the phone otherwise.
still haven't experienced any reboots..
Audible's app (version 1.1 from the market) FC's like crazy and finally caused a reboot last night,the first one since buying 10 days ago. There is a beta version of the audible app that is much more stable than their piece o' in the market.
SIM Card
So... After complete insertion of the SIM card I'm up 66 hours now without a reboot. Others should check their SIM card and post if it helps.
I haven't had a single reboot until today; it rebooted twice on me. I've had the phone since Feb 22nd.
The only thing that's changed is that 2-3 days ago my 32GB SD card came in. I'll do what the above poster said (reinsert SD card) and see if that fixes it.
EDIT: Maybe it is due to heat? I've noticed that, since I got my car dock, anytime I remove my Atrix from the car dock (while in the car dock I use Slacker Radio, Navigation, and a car dock application) its always around 58-60C. I have a SetCPU profile where it underclocks after 60C, but still that is extremely hot.
Has anyone else had any problems similar to the below? I've had my phone for about 6 weeks and its been fine apart from the standard issues others are having, it''s not rooted and apart from maybe 10 apps installed is as it arrived.
Today I noticed it was exceptionally warm in my pocket (Top shirt pocket not trouser) to the point where I was getting worried, when I checked the screen it had used about 50% battery in less than 2 hours! So I checked what was rinsing the battery and it reported Android OS, the screen and phone idle all as top players.
I decided to reboot to see if that stopped it getting hot, still the same used another 25% battery in 30 minutes. Shut down took battery out rebooted still draining the battery and getting hot.
At this point the strange behavior started when the phone rebooted it said I had 5 missed calls and a text message. Checked missed calls non there, tried to read text message and it wasn't there but the notification was still at the top so I accessed the message from there and replied. Went back to message inbox still no message locked screen and still reports 5 missed calls that are not in the call log!!!!
Battery has now died and it's only been on a few hours!
The getting hot thing has worried me more than anything as the phone wasn't doing anything......anyone got any ideas please?
Restore factory settings or use the pc suite to repair the phone.

I also had a battery problem. It was the facebook application that caused the trouble. I deleted all the facebook's data, and today I have no more problem
Thank you for all your replies, I tried resetting the phone settings and that made no difference at all so I did a factory reset...........just spent the last few hours re-installing everything and setting everything up .
The battery performance has gone back to normal but I think the phone is definately running hotter than it was, I can actually feel it in my shirt pocket now whereas before I could just feel the weight of it.
Total newbie question I know but now the phone seems to be running normally again is there a way to back it up exactly as it is? I.e. keeping all my K9 mail settings, installed apps etc etc, it's taken hours to put it all back and I don't fancy doing it again.

i think this have been fixed by a Touchpad Calibration update by service centers since late last month.
anyone can confirm this? i am about to get a 'grey market' phone that have the exact same problem. if the calibration will have it fixed, then i'm going to get it for sure
yea u can even install astro file manager from android market which helps keeping your application ..
Not much activity here eh?
I just want to find out if the touch screen unresponsiveness, overheating, and crazy menu/back button behavior has been resolved by the touchpad calibration done by SE service centers? Is there a way we can resolve, or update the touchpad drivers ourselves?
Thanks in advance!

please help...why did it happen and what can i do?
thanks
That faint 'ticking' noise is normal. Its probably the camera or something, but normal
thanks... but why did it happen?? and how can i prevent it from happening in the future?
Hi guys,
My beloved 64GB Green S6 Edge that i bought on August started today to randomly reboot several times a day. Sometimes in an interval of less than 5 minutes between reboots. My S6 Edge is on stock android 5.1.1 G925F and it has never been dropped or experienced this problem before. I don't recall installing any new apps for this to happen, but almost on a daily basis i get apps updates by the Play Store.
I have lots of lots of applications installed of all sorts. From Amiga Commodore Emulators to Nintendo Gamecube, and everything you can think of. Out of the 64GB i have 12GB remaining and they are most of them on apps.
The problem started today in the morning, i wasn't doing anything... just taking a photo on one of my classes. The problem was experienced several times when taking photos really quick out of the photo shortcut in the lockscreen. Though now today in the night it ... something new happened.... It shut down completely and instead of rebooting it didn't want to restart but was dead. I couldn't turn it on. Until randomly it turned some minutes later. I have not yet done a soft or hard reset and i am backing up my phone as we speak.
Is this a common issue with the S6 Edge??? What could be happening??? My phone had these applications and emulators installed since a month ago and i never had any issues. I bought it out from Amazon.
What should i try? I think it can be conflicting apps.
Thanks.
Maria
I forgot to mention that the phone gets extremely hot at the upper right hand corner. I just noticed this.
it restarted in safe mode, i'm going to try it again.... tomorrow and see if it restarts in safe mode.
I'm afraid you have waaaay too many apps on it which never close, causing the phone to overheat as it's never really resting.
I just re erased the partition cache and its been working fine for a day. Ill wait 3 days and see if its cured !
No, my phone kept on dying... Samsung told me it was defective, amazon issued a full refund for $800.
