so today i got one of those crazy auto reboots on my phone. it turned off, i turned it back on, unlocked my phone, and it turned back off....repeated this process for about 10 times. did a few battery pulls, and nothing.
now my phone doesnt get passed the HTC screen. spent over 4 hours on trying to fix it and nothings working. flashed EVERY rom available for the phone along with different kernel combinations. still nothing. i am a very patient person but COME ON! this is getting ridiculous. im a pretty "important" person, if you will. and i know i have tons of calls and texts i cant get back to that are probably important.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know asap.
HTC ville here i come
My phones been running hot as of today..I hope it doesn't end up like yours. Gonna go stock when I get back home. Gonna even wipe the phone internal memory just to see if there mite be something causing it to suck.

Which recovery did you have installed?
This can actually get closed now
I charged the battery all the way then took the battery out. Let it sit for a few hours then wiped, reflashed another Rom and it went through smoothly
VERY weird.

Anyone having an issue with their TB shutting off or reboting? Mine in the middle of a youtube video. My wife had her's reboot when it was just sitting there. No new apps, task killer, nothing. Is it just buggy cuz it's new?

ive never had that happen, but i have had the screen trip out, like its spasing and u cnt use it at all, gotta put it to sleep then unlock it and it works fine again..
is it stock? no root and/or roms?
yes I had those same problems, so I was still within the 14 days return poilcy and I took mine back. So get this I had this superman who didnt wanna exchange my phone. Trying to do a reset telling me that android phone reset at times by them selves. I told him that I already spoke to Verizon and they said I could exchange my phone no questions asked and I wasnt leaving till he did so. So take off ur superman custome and exchange my Phone.
Mine did this when I was running unrooted on stock firmware . No problems since rooting and using other roms though.

Shut-off, reboot then Shut-off again...
Mine did this last nite/this AM? When I went to power on it got to the Thunderbolt splash and shut down again...had to plug it in even thought the bateery was at 87%!
Think I will go try the Root and custom ROM route..
Yeah I'm thinking buggy software. Guess I'll wait and see if it does it again.

I've had it happen a couple times in the last few days.
Stock rom, unrooted
One of the times i was around %58 on battery and after the reset it was at %13
I got the extended battery....still had plenty of juice. I am beginning to think the issue is O.S. related. Seems to hang sometimes when I unlock it or start an app. Kinda like it is stalled for a second or so. Watched well over an hour of youtube today and it didn't shut off like last night.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yeah, just had this problem last night while using Pulse. It didn't fully rebooted, just went to the white HTC screen and back..... No Thunderbolt booting animation... First time ever. Pulse has crashed on me a couple times too, so I'm gonna blame it for now.

Mine rebooted twice this morning after installing the new Google Maps update. I powered it down for a few minutes, then restarted, and it's been fine since.

Well now having a look at running apps, I see what the issue is. It loads all this crap that your not using! It's in the background waiting. Why? I watched as it pulled up apps that I never opened. This it why verizon reps keep telling people to use a task killer. The os is not being utilized properly at all on this phone.

i H.A.T.E. when they do this. they did the same thing with my Galaxy Tab when i first bought it
I'm having the same issue - phone either turns itself off or reboots itself randomly. I reboot my phone 3-4 times a day swapping out batteries. I'm running stock. Didn't want to have to root, but if people who are rooted and running a custom ROM aren't having this problem, I may have to go that route.
Get system panel from the market and check out all the crap that's sitting in the background. It's a wonder the phone runs at all.

Hey all bought my wife a photon last week. It would lock up or turn its self off like once a day and the only way to fix was a battery pull. Took it back and got another assuming some hardware issue, however her replacement(which was brand new not refirb) just did this. It is uprooted and completely stock. The battery isn't dead. Just curious if anyone knew what could be going on. Thanks so much.

When I first got my photon I had that issue but the 154_5 build fixed that. (On most phones anyway) so you might try flashing the latest update from Juggs in the Dev section. See if that helps you any. Or you can check the build and see if you're on 45.3.7
Hi,
So as the title states i have 0 data [3G/LTE]..
Background:
This afternoon my rezound went dead and wouldn't charge.
So after 6 hours on the charger and no turning on my girlfriend came home with her rezound. i popped the battery in and it started right up except it wouldnt boot all of the way.
After a few tries i wiped and tried again. Still no go. So i wiped and went to flash a backup and sdcard wouldnt mount. After a few unsuccessful tries on device and computer i pressed reformat. That got the SD working.
I downloaded a few roms both ICS and GB wiped and installed. None will provide me mobile data. It sees wifi networks just fine.
My girlfriend has both LTE and 3G and i have full cell bars.
WTF!?

Well this sounds to me like a phone specific problem. I've heard of people's batteries going dead and not charging again, but I've never heard of no data before. If I were you I'd take it back to verzion. I heard they're offering people galaxy nexuses as replacement phones for people who have problems with their rezound!
Hope I helped!

IM not trolling I had a no data issue leaving work and was going to mention it. The only way I fixed it was a full reboot. Also after I rebooted I was stuck in cdma prl. Changed it to cdma/lte and it started working. The weird thing was it said data was on but no 1x 3g or 4g. Toggled everything and nothing helped cept the reboot.
Also atleast HTC doesn't make you wait for over a year for a barely updated version of the same thing and make you feel like you need it (Apple)

Wow. Well I'd just take it to a Verizon rep at one of their stores and see what they have to say because the battery problem is definitely a recurring problem with other rezound users. I don't know about the no data problem though. I've heard of people constantly dropping data, but I've never seen someone who doesn't have it at all.

How about if you leave the charger plugged in? Hopefully you can get the opportunity to get it restored to stock and have it exchanged under warranty.

It does it with charger too. But ONLY really does it while moving it
I CANT get it to even turn on now, It will viberate and show samsung and then shut off
I can get it into download mode for a sec and it will flash and turn off
The power button got mashed a little too hard.
If its store bought, its a warranty issue.
If its Craigslist or ebay you have to pull the whole thing apart and reseat the silver button in the case correctly and reassemble.
I've come across a few phones that have this defect.

Sprint is ordering me a new phone. My question is, hopefully the phone will not have the latest OTA installed. Is there a way to stop the OTA when I go to activate the new phone? Hopefully it wont just install no matter what.
Thanks
It's possible that the newest version will already be put on there before you even get it.
Otherwise if it's not on there, when you get the ota, let it download and the just don't install it when it ask. Simple as that.

Had my Sprint HTC EV 4G LTe for 5 weeks. Rooted phone after week 1. No problems until week 5 when I had left it in my windshield mount for 2 hours in the sun. After that there were several unexpected re-boots then after executing a "Mirror" app it froze. Any attempt to reboot phone gave continuous white HTC screen with vibrate or boot loop. Bestbuy junked it out replacing the phone. New phone is now updated with new OTA update waiting for new root code... No indication that Bestbuy detected "tampered" screen with root.
Otherwise very happy with phone!

Rooted my exchanged EVO as well. Had no trouble w the exchange at best buy either, but was before ota update. The girl doing my activation didn't turn over my new phone until after all the updates had been performed when the phone is first powered on. Snatch it from them before they accept HTC update is all I'm saying.

Yeah I dont trust them. Worst case if it comes with the new OTA I'll just do the HTCdev unlock and root. From everything I read it puts me back pretty much where I was with root and s-off.
