Like 2 am last night, i was woken up the phone making a siren-like noise. I restarted the phone and it stopped. I tried to make a phone call this morning, and and phone started beeping again non-stop and is still going. I pulled the battery out, let it sit for 5 minute, put it make in and tried to make a call again, no difference. Started beeping again and still wont stop. Any body know what the hell is going on?
Thanks in advance!
It's a long shot but try Settings => Sound => Emergency tone => Off.

No... still can't make a call... still beeping :crying:
Hopefully you are still within the return/exchange period.

Did you try a complete wipe? It would suck I know, but you may have had an application go to crap on you. Example: Light Flow is great, but on our phones when the phone is off, it activates the solid green LED. It does this even after a restart. This is a known issue, but it was either force the program to shut down each time or uninstall it to fix it.

Dial the number in the screen shot and then Don't do anything! Your phone should reboot and it'll redo the hands free activation and look for a prl, let it do its thing. It should reboot 1 or 2 more times when it's done looking for its updates and then you should be all set

A few weeks ago my Evo 3D started to turn off on its own at random times andwon’t turn on until took the battery out. I did some searching around andnoticed that many people are having the same problem. Also, I have noticed thatmany suggestions were that some app is killing the phone. Well after diggingaround in my phone and un-installing all apps, the phone was still doing it. Inthe last few days I accidently shut the phone off by just moving the batterywhile it’s in the phone. After some more messing around, the phone does shutoff when I push the battery away from where it touches the metal prongs on thephone. If anyone else having the same problem can test out my fix, it would begreat.

If you search around, a lot of people did have the same issue you had. Your solution should work and has already been confirmed by others.

that sounds good, but i couldnt find this anywhere.
I guess I should have said "a few" people. I think a loose battery or bad connection can cause random reboots and shutdowns. If you search for those terms you may find some more threads. Here is the one I was thinking of.

i was having the same issue but i read on some posts that the radio was an issue
so i had the old radio on my phone i only flash the newest radio and since then i haven't got no reboots...already a month and my phone is working fine...
My problem is related to ambient temperature. If it is above 90 out it restarts randomly. I go inside and it is fine. This is related to nothing else.
I went to the park with my kids this weekend and had no restarts because it was 70 out. I was at the same park doing the same things a few weeks ago...it restarted every 5 minutes.
After 2 weeks of cool weather, it restarted today because I am wearing black jeans (it was in the pocket) and it is 80 out.
I am going to exchange it AGAIN--I had the same problem with the last one.
I had that problem with my 2nd EVO and they replaced it at the Sprint store. That was a couple days after my 30 days

Im having the same issues. Random reboots every hour on Vaelpak and eternity.
Now I am suspicious of the screen using so much power, and of the phones that are overheating. I was sitting on my couch watching the Bears disappoint me, and kept swiping my thumb upward on the screen as if I was unlocking it. To my surprise, without my fingers being anywhere close to the power buttons the screen turned on and unlocked! I have tried to re-create this and it only happens 1 out of every 10 or 15 times(swiping several times, not just once). If the screen is "off" it shouldn't be drawing any power, and therefor shouldn't come on like that. Might have found a bug! This also sort of leans on the volume bug!
i just tried 50 times and nothing happened.

what? lol i'm trying it now to no avail
I have only successfully gotten it to happen 3 times. All of which where after the phone had been idle for a decent amount of time.
hmm interesting...i'll remember to try and play around to see if it does anything..weird though!
Yea, I didn't even notice it happened at first until I realized I didn't push the lock button. I keep trying to get it to work again.

lol, you never know!
On a serious note, got it a 4th time. I let the phone sit a while, picked it up and started swiping it. Maybe it has to do with the proximity sensor and/or accelerometer being active?
stroking my phone and nothing is happening...
Waiting for the happy ending.
damn man, hate to say but maybe you've got a buggy phone..ive let mine sit fro like 20 min at a time, then i go back and try to do what you're doing..and no amount of touching or swiping wakes her up :\
Damn my phone! Ok, since both the issues my device has are minute and no one seems to be able to recreate them, I am going to ride it out.
If anyone else runs into this let me know! For now I am the oddball.

Caught myself whispering to it while swiping it. Now I have to get a psych consult...
Seriously tried it for 10 minutes straight and couldn't do it. Are you sure that you are not receiving a notification that is waking it up at the same time you are testing it?
And I like being able to turn the volume up and down with the screen off. But my phone goes in a beltcase, not my pocket.

I just tried this, screen is off, music through headphones, volume buttons work just fine. It's not all the way asleep if the music player is running. The iBeats buttons work when the screen is off, too. Although, if you pause for too long, it really does go to sleep, and then you can't un-pause without unlocking and hitting play.
Last night I was sitting down onto "the thrown" withe the phone in my back pocket....it caught somehow and flipped into the bowl. Screen was off....I immediately put it in rice over night....7 hours later I tried it....no go. She's dead. Dead I tell you!
The first power up went OK....here was a weird couple beeps, but it powered up, then when the OS came up it seemed like there were buttons pressed because it started to wig out. I immediately pulled the battery....next powerup it wen right into bootloader mode......but my computer wouldn't recognize it....third power up it' dead.
Totally sucks.

When it first started having issues and you pulled the battery, you should have put it back in rice for another 8-12 hours.
You should have gave it 2-3 days to dry.

I heard when you drop your phone in water the worst thing to do is to power it back up immediately after the drop.

This is right.. If you have any chance of saving the phone, never power it on for a day or so. I don't think rice works that well, i've dropped many phones in water and the best way I have found to actually save the phone is to put the oven on a very low heat, put it in the oven w / the door open, and then let it sit for a day or two.
YMMV, but if you turn it on and it starts acting funky it is almost always 100% dead.
First Cut a hole in a box. ...
Put the phone in the box
And put a hairdryer on low for 6 or so hours.
It is one method used for "baking tape"

agreed, my oven has a warm setting that's about 160-200 degrees. Works well to dry out electronics.
take the phone apart
remove motherboard
clean all contacts with at least %90 alcohol.
put back together and you might be working again.

good ole HTC....
What's your point?.... I didn't think they fully removed it on the last OTA anyway?...
If they did and its back, its not necc a bad thing at all so lets be sure to not jump to conclusions and assume its all bad too...
Last time they had issues with it configured poorly and would shut off data if phone is asleep after midnight or whatever...so far I haven't seen this behavior... So maybe they fixed the issues it had before?

True, and a very good point. I just thought i'd point it out just in case
I hate it. Every time you plug your phone in to a computer it tries to install the software, and if you let it it'll fubar your adb and fastboot drivers. Not to mention I prefer my phone to not whore out all my information to every computer it gets plugged in to.
But anyways, now that I've removed some of HTC's bloat I'm liking the update.

See if sprint will fix it. They can't tell if its rooted anyway until they fix it. I doubt they would make a fuss. If that does not work I can supply a screen for $60 shipped.
