*** The Official HTC Desire (Bravo) Thread! ***

This wee chap turned up on my desk this morning!

Hi,

Anyone had a problem with the Desire switching off and getting stuck in a boot loop? it seems to happen when i use the Mobile network connection

Having to return mine to HTC and would like to see if it's a common problem, a quick look around the net does show other people having the same problem.

Or another question would be has anyone had a repair done through HTC?

Thanks

James
 
Did I miss something with the getting the Androids? One would be awesome on my desk next to Morph and my other two things.
 
Just tried to flash the radio, it extracts the radio and when it starts writing the radio an error quickly flashes up, something about no space left.


Anyway around this? I flashed the Oxygen hboot (i think its called) if that makes a difference

It is because the cache is too small to hold it. You need to do it via fastboot from your computer. I don't have the link handy because I am at work, but you might be able to find it by searching :)

There is also a program on xda-forums that does all this with a handy GUI.

Mine's away as we speak with pretty much this issue (the phone is only 7/8 months old). Doesnt always get stuck on a boot loop, but anything demanding whilst the phone was plugged in and sooner or later...reboot, sometimes getting stuck at that point (and you'd feel it getting pretty toasty)

Hopefully it won't take too long as you don't realise how much you use something 'til it's gone!
On the plus side, according to CPW's repair scheme, if it goes away and isn't fixed and does it again within 30 days, new phone time.

I'm with Orange so not sure how a reoccurring problem will turn out? Mines about 10 months old. Are you going through CPW then or direct with HTC?

Hopefully it will get replaced this time around, lol.

I'm Orange too but got it through CPW rather than directly from Orange. Orange basically just didn't care when I rang them - gave me a fault code but said speak to HTC; I could buy a replacement through them but it'd cost about £175. *as if Im going to pay that under warranty!*.

I'm doing it through CPW rather than HTC direct right now,as UK law states it's thier job to deal with it within the warranty period (and thier own policy states if a phone comes back with a fault within 30 days of a repair they'll replace it). Not to mention CPW repairs are through HTC anyway, as they don't/can't fix them themselves.

If its still not working, I'll be pushing the point on this, and requesting a replacement to another decent phone without this known issue, as I've had multiple units already with different faults. Like the phone but as I've got another 18 months of contract I CBA to deal with a failure every few months!

I expect they'll probably replace the mainboard, like most others. (And knowing my luck, the Amoled screen with an SLCD)
 
My Desire is still causing me problems with battery usage monitor. It maintains that every day 90% of my battery is used by Google maps. Google maps is not running, I've tried rebooting multiple times.

Why is it doing this?
