Just wondering if anyone else has or is experiencing any of these issues.
Had a HTC TyTN II for about a year now (I think).
Sometimes turning it on, the screen doesn't sync properly. You get the waivy lines, and have to hit the power button a few times to turn it off and back on, eventually it turns on properly.
Device cannot read MicroSD cards.
I'm thinking one of the cables that connects the top part of the device to the bottom is coming loose, however, I knoticed that when doing hard resets, it lowers the frequency of this happening, until the device gets filled with data and apps... This is the second time ive done the hard reset to make it usuable.
Super odd... Typicly if a hard reset fixes it, it woulnd't be hardware issues, but I still have issues with the MicroSD card.
Just wondering if anyone has any hardware failure stories.
Tried changing spl's and radios yet ?
sorry for the hijack but do you or anyone else have an issue with a bluetooth headphone. i've tried different bluetooth devices and on incoming calls if i use the bluetooth to answer the callers hear a loud screeching sound for a second. but using the same headset if i press the answer button on the phone the screeching doesn't occur. i've tried 3 different headsets and all had the same issue. any ideas??
SPLs?
I havn't modified the firmware or anything whatsoever. Running HTC firmware. No special addons or mods..
Then your warranty should come to the rescue - see what they say!

Then if it's a HTC TyTN II, the warranty is just over a year (I think it was about 15 months on mine) so it'd be worth contacting HTC pronto with your phone to hand to see if you can get it fixed under warranty. Let us know how you get on.
Wow,
So I noticed that the MiniSD card reader has been going lately. Card goes in, it doesn't recognize it. have to put it in 20 times to get it to recognize it.
ANYWAYS....
I decided to take the card out, cuz its pissing me off and almost pointles. BAM the phone became super responsive. When u hit the power button the screen turns on instantly. When your on a phone call and press hangup, it hangs up normally (there was a 10 second delay before that it would take to turn the screen back on and hang up the call).
So I think its JUST the microSD slot thats fried, i think since its kinda working, it was causing freezing issues and caused the phone to freeze, etc...
I don't care that it doesn't work. Ive sent stuff in for warranty before, I always get stuff back in worse condition then i sent it with new stuff broken. I cant go without exchange push for longer than 4 hours at night, so im going to live without the microSD card. lol
Thanks anyways guys!

Wow indeed. Maybe the problem is related to the card itself or whats on it. Try backing up the card (using its usb reader) then reformat it in FAT32 and with the phone totally powered off insert it. Boot up and see how the phone then performs. If this still proves problematic and you don't want to get it fixed under warranty there's not much anyone can do to help I'm afraid.
Card is fine! Tried 5 others, lol.
maybe some pins are crossed or something inside the slot.
Mine is having same problems exactly. sometimes if i reboot with the slide open it will work ok sometimes not wtf
Weird... thats odd that someone is having the same issue...
OMG ITS THE Y2K9 bug!!!

hi,
about 2-3 times this week, my tilt would go to sleep, but when i press the power button, it would not wake. i know there is still power because of the blinking green and bluetooth light. any suggestions on how to fix this?
I think that's the "Sleep of Death". Do a search for it. For me, I did a hard reset and it went away.
Good luck!
happens to me also. So annoying, next time it happens call yourself and see if the phone wakes up or if it jumps straight to voicemail, i'd like to know mines hasnt done it in a while. I think it happens when you have it plugged into the wall for a long period of time and its sleeping. Like that night when you're sleeping.
I've had that problem a few times but its mainly only when its on the charger at night that it happens. What I've been doing now is just not turning it off at night when its charging that way the alarm goes off in the morning. Some people don't like it on as the screens not completely off and the light drives them nuts.
are you within the 30 day period, as in a new contract? I am on my 4th phone, the three before this one all had the same problem not waking, hopefully you are not past the 30 days and can trade it in, you could always try installing the new ATT rom, it might fix your issue I have heard it helped some, if nothing else its worth a try.

Do youy use any other roms? Do you hard reset?
This happened for the very first time to me this week on my tytn 2. Fixed it by taking the battery out. Had my phone for 6 months.
my alarm didn't go off this morning for that very reason....good thing I have 2 other alarms...lol
I thought my problem was charging related, but I didn't charge it overnight...
I have had the same problems too , on my fourth phone now . What has seem to of helped was removing the micro sd card , doing a hard reset and for the last 4 days , had no further "sleeping" problems .
it would be interesting to find out whether you all have been using micro sd cards in your phones ( THIS COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM) Or should I say a faulty sd card could be causing the problem .
also some interesting points regarding the same topic here

When I had the first three phones I was just typical "Joe Consumer" I had no idea about this website or any of the cool stuff I have learned here. So consequently I just knew there as a problem and it was pissing me off so I kept taking them back and swapping. If the 4th didn't work I was going to go with the iphone so I could have something to use when I travel to check email and other BS. But the 4th worked and all is well. Although sometimes i wish I would of got the Iphone just because of battery life and it is alot faster with applications than my phone at least. But I cant take that feeling of being in a Jail Cell every time I hold that thing...........
You may remember me. I posted a thread before about 'sd card failure'.
I stopped posting because the problem was gone. until now.
I was listening to same music when I got a notification that my battery was low, then my Kaiser hung, I soft reset it and then it stopped reading the SD card.
I tried a hard-reset, no go.
My PC is reading both (a 1 GB and a 8 GB micro SD card) without any problems
Any ideas what happened?
I going to find out how I fixed it the first time, but I’m afraid that it was an accidental repair.
Have you tried accessing the sd card on a PC to ensure the events of the hang did not corrupt the card in some way?
Yes I have,
to be sure I formated the SD card. Didn't work.
Guys, sorry..
The Kaiser is reading the sd-card again.
I hate it whene I dont understand what is wrong.
Sorry for the ****like English
Thanks for help anyway
All HTC phone types have this same problem. It does not occur often, but when it does all you can do is re-insert, and re-insert, and re-insert... until suddenly the problem is gone again. I don't think anyone knows what causes it, but taking the card out and putting it back in 10-20 times seems a sure way to fix it.

Good to here I'm not the onlyone with this problem.
Thanks for de replays
You all didn't mention what brand/size/type card? I had this problem with every HTC phone I owned, EXCEPT the Tilt/Kaiser. I'm on my 10th month now with -0- problems.

Exact same here. Just not 10 months yet
I have had my Vario III for almost a year now (used to have a Vario II before this), and I've never had this problem before.
All of a sudden yesterday, my phone screen just went dim. I didn't install anything new and it didn't fall or anything. Since then, I cant use the power button on the side to switch the screen off, and the phone simple wont charge. I've tried doing a soft reset many times.
While the phone is restarting, the screen starts off bright as usual, but while in the loading process (10 secs after it starting rebooting), the brightness goes down approx 60-70%.
If I keep the power button down for a while, I get the option if I want to switch my phone off. If I say yes, the loader keeps spinning and the phone doesn't switch off, regardless how long I wait.
The phone is still usable and all the programs still work.... but its not charging and screen wont turn off. What should I do?
By the way, I haven't changed the ROM. I still use the original ROM that came with T-Mobile.
... And you didn't drop it right? Sounds like there was a hardware failure for sure...
Any Ideas?
My phone ran out of battery now. Still not charging. Its my only phone and its annoying me. I don't know if its the ROM thats gone buggy. If I need to change the ROM on it, I HAVE to get the battery fully charged right?
I cant think of any other possibilities. Any ideas would be great.

No, I didn't drop it. I was just using it normally and it just decided to do that. I wasn't connected to the internet at that time either.
Well the ROM on the phone wouldn't cause it not to charge. The ROM is obviously not even taken into consideration when the device is off and charging (or in your case, not charging).
Have you tried different cables to see if it is working, i.e. USB vs wall-charger?

Yup... tried different chargers and different wall sockets.
The problem I explained earlier did happen before, about a month ago, and it had same symptoms. And even then it happenned for no particular reason. But after soft resetting it a few times, it sorted itself out. This time, nothing seems to work.
Man that stinks. I hate to say it but it definitely sounds like a hardware failure

Well... Good thing I sync'd my phone last night and transferred all data onto the memory card.
I'll just keep working on it, see if I can figure something out. If I do, I'll post the solution here for future reference. Till then, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanx
Ok. So just about every roms that I've tried on my G1.. I get the same issues. Be in a hero rom, 1.5,1.6,2.1... whatever.. there's a couple probs I run into that are starting to become extremely annoying.
FREEZING - all the time. Every day. At least 20 times. Requires battery pull and waiting 5 minutes for reboot. ANNOYING.
Phone randomly shuts off... I bet all can see why this may be annoying.
Battery meter at <70%... phone freezes.. battery pull.. then its at like 1% when I turn it back on
EVERYBODY I talk to says "all they can hear is background noise" and can barely hear me. Tried all 3 G1 radios with NO success. And no.. there has been do damage or water damage to my phone. This started when I put the newest radio on, so I downgraded to the previous one and the issue still stays.
Idk... I know it seems like I'm just complaining.. but I suppose my question is.. WHAT IS THE STABLEST ROM YOU YOURSELF HAVE USED in the aspects of freezing, and random reboots?
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
You've got hardware problems. You could flash every ROM out there and it won't help.
The first thing I would try is to eliminate the SD card from the equation - either try a new one or try running without it.

Could this be why my sd card won't mount either? It won't mount under any cirumstances. The "mount usb" doesn't even come up in my notifications. But these problems have persisted with a few micro's of mine.. but they are all old and have been used in my G1 successfully before. Is it possible that they're fried? Fat32 and ext4 access & write from the phone works. Same thing if I put the micro in an adapter and into card reader in my comp. I've flashed maybe at least 30-40 roms PER sd with partitions, etc.. and they're all no-name brands. All classless too. (Not C6 or class 4, etc).
Any input appreciated. Thx!
5 days old now and 2 recurring problems i have noticed.
1: Sometimes when i unlockthe phone the lock image stays halfway and then the phone hangsand then i have to hardboot it.
2: I travel a lot and change sim cards. So when i land and change a sim card and make a call the other side cant hear me. So i have to restart the phone and then all works well.
Both these issues are recorded not 100% but have happened to me 3 times in last 5 days.
Anyone facing similar issues.
I assume this is just Windows and maybe within the next couple of updates this MAY go
Can't quote on the multi-sim issue but having my phone sinmce 21st Oct i've never had the Unlock problem you're stating. I've had the phone crash on me twice i think, but that was simply the screen becoming unresponsive (both time whilst in the MarketPlace. Hmmm.....)
You could have a faulty unit.
I have had the loss of voice issue a few times now.
Phone someone up and they cant here me. Also if I go to put it on speaker phone it doesn't go very loud.
Take the battery out, put it back in and it all works again.
Is this a hardware or software fault ????????
My guess of it happens at random then its not hardware. Its a software glitch. Also for me it happens when the battery is low.
Yes the screen has become unresponsive and then had to reboot.
Don't remove your battery just keep the on/off button pressed for long. It works.

This happened to me also, the speaker phone is very very soft, you can barely hear it I hope they fix this on the next update.
Market also crash on me earlier, just blank white screen, had to turn off and on again.
did you turn up the volume on speakerphone? or was it using the same level as everything else?
first couple of weeks I had several times where an incoming call I couldn't hear the other person talking. This happened about 4 or 5 times in the first week, but hasent happened for about 7 to 8 days now so I'm wondering if it was one of the HTC hub updates I've recieved.
If it happens again it's going back to the shop
