This is causing me to have to take a charger with me everywhere. I am not rooted, and it is not an app I have installed, as I have done many resets with no apps installed and I didn't even sign in to Google. They are always the same. I took it to Sprint and they tell me that is normal. If it is, why have two separate times? Seems redundant to me. Plus, on my EVO 4G and my Hero, my awake time only equaled out to be about an hour more than how much I used it, and that would be over days. My battery is going to **** and I don't know what to do. I didn't have this issue with my other 3VO(swapped for a broken earpiece) and now I'm wishing I would have just dealt with the broken earpiece. Sprint is being a ***** about fixing THEIR screw up!
I had this issue when I left wifi on. Turned it off, problem gone.

Thanks. I will give this a try. Does anyone have an idea why it does this? It was never an issue on my EVO or my Hero.

Alright, so this phone is becoming extremely frustrating.
The very first day i got the rezound I had it for literally five hours right from the store and I figured i would restart it to freshen things up after messing around with setting up my home screens.
Upon my phone turning back on, it booted up to the lockscreen... froze... turned itself on and then restarted itself and it LOOPS... it does NOT get past this point it bootloops the process
So I pulled the battery a few times, then did a factory reset in hboot and the problem fixed itself, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe it was just a fluke so i reset everything back up... now three days later... I restarted the phone... upon turning it back on... SAME THING... BOOTLOOPING for no reason
I have never tried to temp root my phone or do anything whatsoever. This is a 100% legit phone but its becoming extremely annoying. Im returning this thing to VZW tonight and exchanging it for another one but im torn between exchanging it for a different rezound or just straight up returning it and waiting for the nexus december 8th to come out.
There have been ALOT of reported problems with this phone from my bootlooping... dead pixels... horrible battery life... etc
Dont reboot it anymore. There is an app in the market called fast reboot.when you need to freshen the phone just push the icon and it wiill get all the free memory in about 10-15 seconds.

im supose to be locked into a phone for the next 2 years that i cant reboot because it bootloops?
I have seen several people with boot-looping issues.
I'm not one of them and I don't think it is rampant with this phone. As for dead pixels and horrible battery life - those issues are even fewer and far between.
I wouldn't say there have been ALOT; probably a normal percentage of definite defective units mixed with people being unfamiliar with "how things work" on a phone like this.
..... my $.02
yeah im returning it at VZW tonight for a new unit... if the second one has any issues at all that have been described on this forum so sorry i gave them two chances... returning and waiting for nexus
You also gotta realize your hearing about a ton of issues with the phone, because only people with issues are posting about it. The other 90% that dont have issues arent posting.
Anytime a new phone comes out about 10% of them are duds with the same problems you are describing. When the nexus comes out their forum will be full of threads about problems with that phone. Read thru the android forums and no matter what the phone, you will see complaints about the phone. i have been reading them for years.

I had the phone for about 7 hours three have been fighting loops. My temporary solution is to disable LTE and put my standard size battery in the device ? I don't know why, but I have a hunch that my specific device may be verry sensitive to heat issues.
I called Verizon and they show the boot cycling a known issue and that it was submitted to HTC.
The phone does not seem overly hot to Me so my hunch could be wrong

Well my first Rez was a dud. It got as hot as 130F at one point! Returned it, now this second one will boot to a certain point then bootlop!! My evo never did this ****!!

Ok here's what I did. I shut down, removed the 4G sim and rebooted. It fully booted with no cell service of course. I went into the LTE switch and set it to CDMA auto. I shut down, re-inserted sim, booted up and it's working. Not sure if all that was necessary, but that's what I did...

Bootloops = Heat
In my experience, Bootloops are a result of heat. The phone heats up (or the radio heats up), the phone reboots on the thermal warning, but the bootup time is not nearly long enough to cool down a phone that hot, so once the OS (or kernel) loads to the point where it starts checking for thermals, it sees a heat issue, and reboots.
I have this on my DInc which I was hoping to replace with a Rezound because of these bootloops, but of course I am going to have sit and see if this subsides (or what the Nexus people say) because ...
... you are right, you do NOT want a phone for 2 years which bootloops when you use it for 15 minutes. It is hell.
What is causing all the heat on your phone ??

I asked and called Verizon again. I found someone with a little more info.
it seems that an above average amount of devices where sent out with a corrupted OS.
The corrupt Rom is having issues with its signal acquisition and causing issues.
its heating up from consistently trying to cycle thru signal acquisition etc etc.
I kinda believe they have nailed the issue- as we booted up the device with no back cover on,and bam!- a perfect phone that functions without the reboots ( Obviously no signal),but it works.
I have a replacement coming Tuesday.
Hmmm i think mine has something like that. BUT i dont do it so much.
Had the same issue with mine last night. Removed Sim disabled all network services and replaced Sim and it worked when I enabled networks again. Mine has been set to cdma only also. I think it might be an issue when authenticating with Verizon that somehow crashes the phone.

Let's hope that is the problem since I haven't had it and would hate to see it be a hardware problem. That is something that can be fixed with an update. I think phones are getting to thin for their own good. Cases problem don't help either.
For what it is worth, my phone is charging, streaming music, and I'm on the internet with auto brightness on. The temp is reading 100F. When I first got it, I was trying to kill the battery so I streamed Netflix over 4g and it got warm but never rebooted. Hope they figure this out for y'all.

I got stuck bootlooping related to the fb chat widget. As soon as it would load, sense would restart and after 10-20 the phone started rebooting.
Non stop. I got it to boot with battery cover off (no reception).
Cover on, it would restart as soon as the lock screen was up.
Battery pull, no help.
So I did a battery pull, guessed volume down +power and choose factory reset.
No fb chat widget and no issues so far

struggling radio = heat = reboot = still hot = reboot ...
Same as I currently have on my incredible.
They may be able to do something in software, but it is really hardware. the radio struggling to get a signal is not a software issue.

This is my second Rezound (I got this as a replacement from Verizon). Everything has been working fine for the past 2 months, but recently the screen won't turn on at random times. The screen seems to get stuck in the off mode and I have to do a battery pull to get it on again. Everything else is working when this happens, like I can hear people calling and hear emails coming in, but I can't do much without the screen! I noticed that it happens often when I'm in phone calls... the proximity sensor won't work after the first time I hold it to my head, the screen just goes off and then stays off. Sometimes (rarely) the screen will turn on when I press the power button, but then turn off as soon as the screen is touched (which makes me want to break the phone).
I hope this makes sense. Any ideas from anyone or I am on to my third replacement phone? Will they even replace my phone again? I bought it back in December.
They will replace it again, and it does sound like a hardware issue.
Sounds like you need a replacement

happened on my incredible on a few custom roms, and then it happened on my rezound stock not rooted too. it's an HTC issue, probably.
had the exact same problem on my rezound. busted proximity sensor. Verizon replaced it with no hassles.
Thanks for all the input so far people! I'll be getting in touch with Verizon.
I got my new replacement Rezound today and now have a new problem where the phone will not allow data connections. I finally got Verizon to let me switch to a different phone. This will be my first non HTC phone since 2004, starting with the i-mate JAM. I am so glad to be done with the Rezound finally.
damn sounds like u have bad luck with thus phone

I was having this problem consistently too with both GB and ICS when I was using custom kernels. So far, only the 2 most recent 3.0 ICS leak kernels have stabilized the problem to the point where I haven't had a reboot or freeze in a couple weeks.
I just picked up a Sprint GSIII today (exchanged my EVO LTE in for it), and twice while doing the initial charge, I've gone to wake up the phone and it has been turned off. Has anyone experienced this before? I'm not quite sure what is going on.
I have the ATT version and I have never seen this. I have had mine about 2 weeks now. I would pull the back cover and reset the battery. If that doesn't work return it to the Sprint store for an exchange.
I have the sprint version and haven't had this happen yet. Might be a defect. I'm on my 3rd s3 due to yellow screen and none experienced what u have experienced

One of 3 things....
1. Bad battery (replace battery)
2. Bad charger/charing port (check your charger)
3. Bad software (factory reset your phone)
Those don't work then take it back
Today I noticed that although I have my wifi turned off, from time to time throughout the day it randomly turns on without me doing anything. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking it may be some app or another turning it on, but I'm at work right now and don't really have time to troubleshoot it.

I too have noticed this. Here's a question that may blow away my theory - Do you use AT&T Smart WiFi?

Indeed I was using AT&T Smart WiFi. I just turned it off. We'll see if that seems to make any difference.
I use the dumb wifi (i set it on or off as I need to... need NFC tags now) and no problem what so ever.
Ok, so I stopped using Smart WiFi. I have not seen the wifi turn on randomly since.
Bet your battery life improved along the way...
Yeah, battery life has been improved. Although it's still not great. I'm waiting for a custom ROM to fix it, but Android OS uses like 54% of my battery. Pretty sure that's more than it should.

Hello,
So my T-Mobile HTC One has two problems.
Firstly, while restarting the two buttons at the bottom will keep flickering for about five minutes before the phone turns on.
Secondly, the phone's 3g connection (while abroad) keeps going on and off. This doesn't happen on any other device. Also, the battery life has really gone down recently.
What are my options for this getting replaced for a new phone and not one of their replacement phones? Last time, I had the HTC Incredible and went through like 6 replacement phones.
Thanks,
Crazysah
First off when you hold the power button the lights will flash and then it will power off.
That's just how the phone works.
The battery life sometimes can take a day or so to adjust. Mines is pretty good.
And on the 3g I wouldn't know since I get 4g or 4g lte 99% of the time and the other time it's just bars and edge data
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
No no. When turning on the phone, the two capacitive buttons on the button will flicker for a good 3 to 4 minutes before the phone turns on. Never used to happen.
The battery has been going down ever since I started using this phone in May.
3G going in and out only happens abroad, not in the USA.
3g is probably network related if it only happens abroad.

Yeah but doesn't happen on any other phone. So it is definitely a phone problem. What can I do?

I had the Purple tint issue with my first HTC One, and just got my replacement. The camera is definitely way better, no purple tint whatsoever, build quality is better than my first device, no gaps and the power/sleep button is not excessively recessed. But, I do notice the screen of replacement device, the second HTC One, is yellowish compared to my first HTC One. I have been on the fence if I should contact T-mobile, but sorta do not feel the need to go through the process of unlocking, unrooting, s-off, cid, firmware update and running a custom rom.
