HTC Desire series

At 6:20 this morning my HTC Deisre HD decided to reboot itself with all the accompanying clatter and silly noises. WHY?

Hi Trevor

Great to have you on the eForum, Welcome!

The Android System is self monitoring and will shut down processes to protect itself or recovery vital resources.

It may be that the phone had become very low on critical resources, perhaps lots of updates running at the same time?

So the Android system would restart itself simply to clear this bottle neck situation to allow the OS to recover.

If this happens more frequently then there may be an App that is hogging resources or is conflicting with the system?

Or it may point to a Hardware issue if it starts doing it several times a day!

If this happens come back to us first! There are some things we can try before a Repair is required!

Thanks for your reply: It had run some app updates the previous evening, so I think it was upto date, and relatively happy. It was just me at 6:20 that wasn't happy :-). It's done it once before, some months ago, so no panic yet. Thanks.

My Desire HD constantly reboots itself - a lot of the time while it is charging. I've tried removing apps that have been installed since it started but it hasn't made any difference. Is there anything recommended that I can try to resolve this?

FYIW - i had this issue. I spoke to Vodafone who said they couldn't help.

I spoke to HTC who took the phone in and sent it back a week later, good as new.

They said there was a fault with some motherboards that could overheat causing the phone to reboot. This was outside the year warranty as well (in June last year)
