hi all, as the title says my hox + is repeatedly crashing n rebooting. this has been happening since yesterday. the hox was fine in the morning and then randomly started playing up in the afternoon. the phone is completely stock n locked. its not the power button as when I enter fastboot the phone stays on n doesn't even freeze. it went flat after a while so I left it to completely flatten over night. its been on charge for a while now n its still rebooting even without me turning it on, it turns on by itself.....freezes.....then reboots.
any ideas guys?
really don't want to pay for insurance again n I now know it takes takes 2 weeks to replace a lost phone so god knows how long it will take them to look at a phone
"pay for insurances AGAIN"?
Does this happen randomly? Or it happens all the time? If you will be enough desperate, you can always try a factory reset as this looks like a software bug.

yeh ive tried factory reset in fastboot and also erased cache command. im going to try a rom now ive got it to stay off n charge. it will only stay off selecting power down quickly, if I select power off in bootloader it restarts. it does seem like software though as it doesn't auto reboot in recovery or bootloader
well a new rom ddnt work.....n of course I cant find an ruu anywhere

you can try increasing the voltage for the CPU...
does it show something on its screen when it reboots?
cant do anything. it would boot up fully...then freeze after 5 secs or so then reboot and do the same again. Ive claimed for a new phone now tho. I couldn't find an ruu after trying a new rom so insurance repair wasn't going to happen. the phones gone now n hopefully a replacement will come soon. guessing I had a bad refurb last time iclaimed

like its said in the title, my titan resetet itself twice! without any obvious reason.
the first time the titan didnt react to anything so i removed the battery, when i startet it again -> get started stuff
the second time i just turn the titan off when i restarted -> get started
its pretty anoying and i wanted to know if anybody has the same problem or knows an answer
thx
Memory full ?
What your device memory nearly full or about 8GB full ? Some devices have a bug when this happens. The last deployed firmware resolved the issue for me.
mhm im not sure how much was full but it could be...
i will do the update and see if it solves the problem
thx for the tipp
edit: great ive wanted to update my phone but during the process it fails. at the point when the phone is restarting my pc doesnt recognice it anymore...
zune is waiting for the phone to restart and the phone shows this "connect phone to pc" screen but nothing happens...
You can try to update your firmware with the lastest version with a recovery tool here:

It worked for me but you'll loose all your data.
ok thx i will wait a few days and look for driver updates mabay this will fix it and i can update the normal way but thx
My phone keeps shutting off and I barely have anything on it. Pretty annoying, thought it was a defective phone, not sure after reading this.
edit: after doing a factory reset my phone is still shutting off. Going to get a new replacement today.
I read on another thread that cleaning SIM card and reseating it solves that. Hope this is not too late to help others.
Any similarities to this?

I just had my first reboot for my Titan. Incoming call but no sound. Hung up, and the phone immediately rebooted. First and only time it did that. Hopefully it was an isolated incident.
FYI: I have about 4GB free on my phone. No other issues.
i think some of you getting it wrong. my titan doesnt reboot it reset itself like a hard reset, everything is gone and i have to go trough the whole settup again...
this happened twice altough it havent happened in the last days i want to update my phone but its impossible for me right now because when my phone restarts during the update process zune doesnt recognise it anymore.
ive already deletet and reinstallt the driver and i ran the official microsoft fix without any sucess

Mine did this twice this week. I think is something with network connection.
Everytime I took it from pocket or car, turned it on and call in seconds.
Sometimes I got restarts while using the bluetooth connected to my car.
Something it not good with HTC radio.

HTC Titan resetting itself out of nowhere..??
My Titan reset itself for the 1st time yesterday.. it froze first so i couldn't power it down I had to take the battery out, only thing is I have all my stuff (music, pictures, text messages..) u get the point. So after that happened and i pulled the battery out and put it back in and powered it up some of my apps were uninstalled and when i went over a screen to my apps i noticed something that said "applications install" or something like that, i had never seen it before. I uninstalled the mysterious app or watever it was and now when i try to open my people block on the start screen to find contacts it wont work.. wont open at all!!! this is the 2nd titan ive had and im totally confused as to what going on. I did unlock it with an unlock code. I dunno if that has anything to do with it.. Can anyone shed any light or should i just count my losses and trash it! it also deleted my email accounts in settings when i powered it off then on again.. I dunno if its a bug or wat, but im pissed tf off!! hellppppp!
so this guy came into my store who had a rezound, never once had a problem with it ever...then the battery died fully overnight because he forgot to charge it..
so when he woke up, it was dead obviously. he then plugged it in, and the orange light came on for 5 seconds...then shuts off. and nothing happens. this even happened when he brought it in for me to try. so i'm like, wtf, probably a bad battery maybe?
so i put in a good one we've got...same thing. so i ask if he's rooted or anything, he says no...but i did a search, and found some posts that when people had bad flashes of roms, it would stick at the white screen, and they had to restore a backup in CWM for it to work.
so i tried to see if maybe he was rooted...went into bootloader, hit recovery, and the phone just died. just shut off. so i was like, thats weird...so then i tried to do a factory reset....same thing, i hit factory reset, the white HTC screen came rgiht up, then the phone just died...and this was with a fully charged battery, too.
eventually we had to just call up and get him sent a refurb, but still, has anyone seen this problem? nothing i could do could get it to boot, and that's such a ****ty feeling especially if this guy said that he NEVER had a problem with any HTC phone, especially this rezound, until that battery died and it would'nt turn on again.
I've had that problem after a bad flash, but it still let me get into hboot and recovery without problems, so I doubt it was that. Don't have a clue what it could be though... at least you got him taken care of with a refurb. Maybe the inability to boot to recovery could be not having amon ra or cwm installed (never tried without one) and if he wiped /data or /system I don't know if factory reset would know what to reset to (again, never tried).
Edit: Also, with me, the phone never died. White HTC screen would stay up until I pulled the battery and it would still recognize the charger.
exactly! it's a problem after a bad flash. i wonder if this dude was lying and tried to flash something, his battery died, and it bricked it
I am currently experiencing the exact same problem; I was able to replicate everything you describe, including what happened when you tried to go into recovery or factory reset mode. I have NOT tried to root or do anything else untoward with the phone ... if anyone has any idea what I can do other than get a new phone and lose all my data, I would really appreciate it!
edit - there is one difference: my battery never died. I took my phone out of my pocket at 5:40 to look at it, and it was fine. I looked at it again at around 5:50 and I had the white htc screen. At this point I pulled the battery and started googling.
second edit - could the forced update have something to do with it??
nope, he brought his in before the update.
have you gotten anything to work? when we called customer service, they just replaced his phone for him..i hope it works out for you, man. maybe try to get into fastboot and wipe the phone, or something? i know i was able to get into the bootloader..maybe you can push a factory reset from the comp

If you want to at least get the data off of it you can try using testdisk.
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
I used it for my external sd card that wouldn't read in the phone or computer anymore and had all my nands and other backups on it. It seems like it won't work on Android but it will, but since I formatted it in the phone it didn't seem to have a volume name.
After you select the drive and it comes up with the partition table list, select [None].
Then select [Analyse]
I think that's when it will list all your directories.
You might be able to hook up your phone and get stuff off the internal card if you leave it at the white htc screen, not sure. But I have used testdisk successfully on a drive and the sd card that all systems said was unreadable and needed to be formatted. Anyway, it's worth a shot to see if you can get your stuff off it even if you have to return it.

Yeah I had a lot of white screen time when I had the Evo! A co-worker of mine had this happen on his Evo. It was from overheating. Now I realize this is the Rezound we're talking about but brilliant phones do think alike.

happened to me when the kernel didn't flash but the rom did. Had to boot into fastboot and flash a kernel through a command prompt on my PC.
Just finished dealing with this after a bad flash. I couldn't boot, couldn't flash a new rom because of the Mainver error and couldn't get into recovery. Finally fixed it by deleting the PH98IMG.zip file. That let me get into recovery. Then had to flash back from ICS to Gingerbread. The I could follow the instructions to fix the Maiver error.
I had heard reports that people had data loss issues from the battery dying all the way in the rezound? Something tells me running the RUU on the phone would have fixed it.

For the last two days my phone has been anything off at random... nothing has been changed... I'm on the cm9 nightly from the two days ago... this is the thing tho... If I gentely tap the phone it will shut off or shake it... so I figured maybe after time the batter is lose... but it also is turning off if it sits completely still...unless its playing music. It has not turned off since Round 8 ad I have just had it playing music this full time ...any ideas??
I already did a full wipe and re install and when I get home I'm going to Oden back to stock and redo everything.

My only suggestion at this point is odin back to stock 2.1.
Unfortunately this sounds like symptoms of hardware failure. I had a phone (cliq) which would do the exact thing as you described...the phone would vibrate shut off and reboot unexpectedly. I would open the physical keyboard and it would also shut off...this is totally hardware related from my understanding. But that is the worst case scenario.
Hopefully it is a software related issue in your case. Not much else i can say.

Overclocked? Voltages changed at all from default? If you have anything set in voltage control or setcpu, get rid of them and try it. You could also try booting into recovery and see if you can reproduce the problem. That should also help determine if it is software or hardware related.
If the phone is plugged in it does not seem to reboot. i have not had time to mess with it i will check it out this weekend. Weird because it only seems to be doing this at work? I have not had it restart on me at all while at home.
Also if i have the music playing it will not turn off. This weekend im going to oden back to stock and see how it goes. otherwise gonna try to deal with it long enough till the gs3 comes out, ha.

thanks for the response. and I found my problem already too, I had a bad power ribbon inside the phone that was torn.
Attempted the JB update, seemed to install (I also did it on my wife's) but on mine it must have failed and failed hard as now I am infinitely stuck on the "Asus Eee Pad" boot screen and if you try to shut it off it just reboots... endless loop. So, there is no way to even shut it down. It just reboots back to this screen! If I try to boot using power+volume down I get (1) wipe data and (2) Android and so I pick #2 and it says cold booting Linux but nothing happens.. ever..
WTF happened and how can I get out of it? Wiping data is not an option I want. Press reset button just reboots but it just reboots anyway.
did you try the reset button? that is the only thing i guess you could do, next to factory resetting... what about usb connections when your in the recovery?

I press reset button and it just reboots and sticks at the screen. So, loops over and over back to the EeePad Screen. endless. no way to shut it off or get any further.
I cannot boot into recovery. When I do, I get a dead Andy with red exclamation.
I could try to hook it to my PC via USb but... when what IF it even would work?
This might only be solved by hooking it to my PC but have no idea what steps to do, software to load, etc.
You don't have an unlocked bootloader with NVflash, don't you?
If your adb recognizes your prime, you could force it to shut down at first and then restart it completely. but I fear that will not work.
I think you need to reset the device. luckily pictures and videos, music etc. is normally not erased when restoring firmware configuration.
If even that does not work, I think you are one case for RMA.
No unlocked bootloader, no NV flash.
Not sure how to "adb recognizes your prime, you could force it to shut down at first and then restart it completely"
BTW, pictures and videos are less of an issues, dozens and dozens and dozens of hours setting up and loading apps and making their settings just rght is the real loss if I have to wipe it.
So, I want to exhaust all avenues before any wipe is done.
i'm having the same issue. i've read elsewhere that somebody was able to exchange theirs at Best Buy. i've had mine since release, so I'm assuming that won't be an option for me. i've tried running the battery down until it shuts off. when i plug it back in and fire it up, it just gets stuck at the splash screen again.
yeah, it is crazy.. you cannot even shut the f**** thing off.
I want to try to salvage it of course. Did you try the wipe option?
i can't get to a point where i can even try to wipe it. my computer won't recognize that it's there, which makes sense (to me anyway) because it really isn't. it's completely unresponsive aside from the endless loop of boot screen.

so since your RMA anyway, did you try a data wipe first?
I bet there is a way around it, just need some savvier people to chime in on the steps using ADB or something?

Called Asus.. they said either data wipe or RMA this POS....
anyone with any other ideas?
did they inform you on how you're supposed to wipe the data off of a tablet that won't allow you to do anything but sit at a boot up screen? i don't care if i have to wipe the data, i have nothing on it that is that important.
i'm going to have to have that very conversation with them tonight.

oh thats easy.. hold power+volume down button and you should see at least 2 icons.. WIPE DATA or ANDROID.. just pick Wipe Data and give it a shot.
I want to hold out and see if someone can reccomend a way to ADB or sideload JB or something as I care about all dozens and dozens and dozens of hours and days and weeks of time I spent setting up apps and configuring that I will loose with a data wipe. If you dont care, go for it and report if it works.
yeah, i've tried that. i can't even get the icons to pop up. i'll try again tonight before calling, but i'm not all that optimistic. although i didn't try it this morning after running the battery dry. perhaps it would work now. we'll see i guess. worst case, i'm in the same boat that i'm in now.
i'd probably care more if i have spent that much time on it too. i've maybe spent a handful of random hours screwing around with it, so i'm not really out much.

thats not "recovery".. recovery and this are 2 different things.
My tablet is completely unresponsive. Talked to Asus and according to them the only option is an RMA. If you're able to get the data wipe prompt, you might have other options, but I don't know what they are. So I'm sending mine in.
Have the exact same problem. I can't get to the wipe menu at all. Tried to open an RMA online a week ago and haven't heard anything. Going to call them today.
For the past week or so the wifi radio on my phone has been acting up. Once or twice a day it will start to constantly cycle on and off. If I manually turn it off while it's in the "on" phase, it usually stays off. But when I go to turn it back on it just goes back into the loop, even if I wait an hour. The only way to fix it is to reset the phone, sometimes more than once (hard reset holding power and volume up). I rooted my phone over a month ago and haven't done anything else root-related since (no ROMs, mods, not even deodex). I did install AdAway, but that was at the time I rooted it and this just started happening. Not sure what could be causing this or if I just need to contact Verizon for a replacement.

I got a DNA last week and lose wifi when I'm on my patio, which never happened with my Galaxy Nexus LTE. In the house, the wifi cycles a couple of times a day. I would appreciate any input.
This happens to me no matter what network I try to connect to or where I am at.
Anyone else have this happen? I am ready to do a factory reset and I really don't want to since this phone doesn't have an SD card.

Did you install a custom ROM and/or kernel?
If custom, a kernel change may help.
If you did any tweaks like overclock, undo those changes.
But to answer your question, this hasn't happened to me.

I rooted my phone but have not done anything else besides install AdAway. I planned on installing a few tweaks like the battery percent indicator and location icon remover but honestly the whole odex/deodex thing really confused me so I haven't done anything else.
I am going to get a new SIM card today because my phone keeps saying it doesn't have one and I have to reboot once or twice to get it to come back up, but I doubt that could be the cause of my wifi issues.
