Wavesecure is now working after upgrading ROM
Thanks for the heads up, actually.
I think if they can get the application to autostart from boot, it will solve this problem?

Hi
I have HTC desire running neophyte 1.7.1
I have purchased wavesecure but it malfunctions
The problem is that while the HTC is locked you can take the battery out
After putting the battery again the desire comes up without the lock thus you are not protected
I have downloaded a debug version and sent wavesecure the info but still (~ 2 weeks) there is no resolution
The company does not refund the money
My advice save your money for working application

I was curious and just tried that. Locked my phone via the web interface of WaveSecure, turned it off, removed the battery for 10 seconds, then pop up the battery back and powered it on. As soon as the Android booted up, the WaveSecure lock screen showed up.
I think in your case the problem is having a custom ROM installed. I'm running stock Froyo and WaveSecure runs without any problems. I do not regret a bit the money that I spend on it.
PS. Something strange, when the lock screen is up, you can press the Home button and you will actually get to the home screen, but after 2-3 seconds, the lock screen shows up again. I think I did not had that before. Probably of the Froyo or the OTA update after it causes this. But this is not a problem, it works perfectly.

hello. i have bought a desire few days ago. yesterday i notice a problem. i have search the internet but havent find anything similar.
when i press the power button to turn of the screen after i press it again to turn on my screen sometimes the screen turns green and i cant do anything.
this thing doesnt happens all the time. but is preaty annoying and i have to remove the battery.
does anybody have an idea what is the problem
I think it's a hardware failure. Best way is to contact HTC Support.
i am not sure if ita hardware problem. because i notice that moso of the time that this happens is when i lock my screen when an application is open.

I don't think you'll find that's an unusual thing to do! I do it all the time, and have never experienced the problem.
As has already been mentioned, chances are it is a problem with you particular device - especially since you haven't had it for long. However, it could be an app causing the problem, so I'd suggest a factory reset in the first place and see how it performs in a more "vanilla" state.
If it behaves itself, start adding your apps back in again, and hopefully you'll find one causing the problem.

Dave
i have already did a factory reset a nothing change. i thing the problem is with the lock screen after i press the power button.. i install no lock now on my phone that disable the lock screen and seems to work ok now.
one thing i forgot to mention is that the problem apear after i did a factory reset.
if this was a hardware problem shouldn't be happening all the time?
i just send an email to htc and inform them with my problem.

Turn it round the other way - if it was a software problem, it would be happening to everyone using the same ROM as you.

yes i know that. but since i disable the lock screen. the problem dissapear.
Today I took my phone to the shop I bought it and after half an hour of trying to show to the guy there what's was the problem. He gave me a replacement.

Hello everybody, i'm fresh new.
Also on my htc desire I have this problem, if you are able to use the device, without see the screen content, you can also shut down the phone. I say shut down because the problem disappear if you stop the phone (or leave the battery) for some minute. it's like all the meroy needs to be lost.
I had this problems some months ago, I unistalled one-by-one the apps, and it worked, now I have installed (during the last 5 months) other apps, and from 3days ago it restarted with this problem.

Do the same procedure like before: uninstall apps until problem disappears.

I am doing but I'm not sure it's the best solution.
I think it is related to some apps, some software problem, but I removed almost all my apps.
I noticed also that if I press the lock/unlock button for some secs, the problem there isn't. But it happen again (most of the time) when I put the device on charge, without turn it off, then when it finished it's a little bit hot and the display doesn't work.
I think it's a problem of the lock button, not software.
what is the name of this app?

I think is a problem related to the memory of the phone. Because I don't have new apps on my Desire.
If I move all my apps on the SD Card, it never (almost) happen...but if some Widget, on the phone, starts in background..
when I push the bottom at the top...the display doesn't switch on.

screen problem
Hi just wondered if anyone else has had this problem bought a desire a few days ago seemed to work fine but it has begun to act a little strange from time to time. from time to time the touch screen will not work just locks up, also the screen goes crazy flipping from one screen to the next, came with android 2.2 but upgraded it to android 2.3 from the HTC official site using HTC sync thought this may stop it, it does not happen as often now but still does it have to turn the phone off then back on again for it to work, anyone got any ideas on this and how I may cure it Thanks for your time.

I have had an HTC Desire via T-Mobile UK for a couple of months. It runs Android 2.1 with HTC's Sense interface. I have made no modifications to the phone. This evening the phone would not turn off so I removed the battery. Then it would not boot.
When I press the power button, the screen comes on, the phone vibrates (once) and I get the red ring -- and that's it. It sits with a blank screen apart from the red ring/disc.
I have tried removing the battery (that's the only way to switch it off), removing memory card and SIM. Still nothing. Then I tried a factory reset by clearing the memory, which appeared to work -- but no improvement. It remains stuck at the red disc.
Is my phone goosed? Is this a hardware fault?
The only thing I did before this problem was to try to install Swype using a APK file via my memory card and installing a third party app installer. The app installer did not find the APK file on my memory card so I couldn't install Swype - but I noticed a lot of forced closes before I tried to switch off. I presumed switching off the phone would resolve this. Then my problems began...
I don't think it's f***ed... try a hard reset, if that doesn't work flash an original HTC rom again.

does the triangle look like this... /!\ if so press volume up and tap the power button.
hope this helps! good luck!
The device has been factory reset. Several times. No difference. Maybe a new ROM will cure it. I'm surprised that a ROM could be so easily corrupted. This "red ring of death" on an HTC Desire might become more common in the months ahead.
OK. I promised to report back when the problem was resolved.
I got the phone back yesterday, one month and three days after I sent it for repair. The company I sent it to (the one I had the warranty with) could not fix it so sent it to HTC.
The device has a new IMEI, which tells me that the motherboard was replaced. It was, therefore, a major hardware fault and not an OS/software fault.
I'm not sure if it was a coincidence that I was messing around with non-standard software (using a non-Market source) or whether this goosed my mobo but my mobo was most certainly goosed.
So, for posterity, the red ring of death on an HTC Desire (and possibly some other handsets) is, indeed, a ring of death. The phone is f*cked.
The red ring you talk about seems to be some kind of error screen on T-mobile handsets. As far as I know, a non T-mobile handset has a black screen with 4 triangles, 1 in each corner.
Glad you got it sorted though

its no error screen it is part of the t-mob boot up process
Ok maybe you guys can help. I'm having the strangest problem.
I'm running cyanogenmod nightly 151 and last night I was using the torch widget on bright for a little while and the battery died. Charged it back up and when I unplugged it in the morning it rebooted to white htc logo screen. Booted up normally and as soon as screen times out it reboots again. It did this a number of times so I Did a complete wipe and installed an older nightly, same issue. Full wipe and installed a stable rom, same thing. Then I noticed when I leave it on the charger I don't have the rebooting problem, only on battery power, so I replaced the battery. Same issue. Then I noticed that if I constantly use the phone it doesn't reboot. Only when the screen times out. Set the time out to 30 mins and left it idle. 30 mins later it rebooted. Turned off the "screen off animation" thinking that was the problem, no luck. Flashed back to stock official tmobile rom, same issue! Tmobile is sending me out a new phone and battery but just for curiosity sake and so it doesn't happen again, any ideas on what it could be? Definately gonna avoid that torch widget in the future! Thumbs up to tmobile customer service for their no haggle "overnight me a phone for 5 bux" customer service!
To sum it up, when phone is on charger no problems. When phone is running on battery, anytime the screen goes out, either by hitting power button or by it timing out, it instantly reboots to htc logo.

Flash a fresh version..or a stable one.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA Premium App
Yea I flashed 5 different ones, first I flashed back to the previous release that included a different kernel, then the stable rc1, then the stable before that, then I flashed the stock rom with root. There's nothing on my phone now except stock software and root. As soon as I hit the button to turn the screen off it reboots. The real question is what exactly happens when the screen goes off that the phone isn't liking? Its speedy and everythng works great for as long as the screen remains on. Its gotta be a hardware issue if I've tried so many different roms right? Or is there some core piece of software that nightly 151 changed that none of the other roms I'm flashing are changing?
Update: if I have music or navigation on and I turn the screen off the phone doesn't reboot until the song ends or route ends! Lol wth is up with this? It only reboots on idle? Maybe processor drops too low?
Update. Phone stopped rebooting every time the "screen goes off / all processes stopped" and now only does it very randomly, almost hardly ever. Its like its repairing itself lol. Htc cyborg! New phone should be here tomorrow. I was really hoping to figure this out though. Oh well
Hi,
Recently, my Desire HD has crapped out during the process of changing my back ground wall paper. It restarted and some how the screen got stuck on lock screen with the screen being totally unresponsive. I can tell the device is "semi-working" as the top bar shows that the phone does all its start up processes and the top lock button works (although it is with a delay).
Is there a reason why this is happening?
Any solution to it? (Yes I have gone through google for 2 hours without solution found)
If I have to resort to hard reset, is there any way I can back up my messages + things in the phone aside from programs before resetting?
Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance!
frozen lockscreen
my desire has done the same thing since rooting and using android rev rom. the only way i got mine to respond was to drop the battery out then put it back in and reboot with the charger plugged in and switched on. as soon as the phone is on, unlock it and use it. this did the trick with me. hope it helps.
Hi i have this supper anoying problem after 5.0.2 update! So basicaly What it does is when ever i will pick up the phone it would turn off like the screen would dim (not rebbot or shut down) and after a little tapping on a screen it would turn on again and sometimes when it does that it would glitch a little. While typing this it happened twice its sooooo anoying idk what to do now if i wont find any solutions i will just buy samsung galaxy or something like that. Also my carrier is Virgin Mobile thanks
Same problem, same phone.
Definitely annoying! Seems random but especially while rotating for me. I have not been able to dig up any solutions thus far.
Check out your proximity sensor settings in the HTC testing app, or try Gravity screen. Mine did the same thing a couple times, also clean off your screen at the very top left, if you look real good you can see the sensor just under the front camera hole in the glass, also sometimes a screen saver will mess with this sensor. One more thing is the stock lock screen can cause an issue similar to what you are talking about, hope one of these help yo out, cane0716

hi
thanks for information i already gave that phone to my friend and i think he fixed it by actually having different lock screen i currently have samsung galaxy s5 its wayyyy better lol
Phone turns off during use and will not complete boot unless plugged to charger even when the battery is almost full.
This error started last night after I did factory reset because of observed phone lag. I did mistakenly "wiped internal storage" but got the alert of "no OS during reboot", so I restored from my backup from SD.
the phone started properly but went off during initial setup and will go back off each time I tried turning it back on. I thought it was battery so I plugged it to power.
it did boot but will go back off once I have few touches on the screen.
I had to leave it plugged to setup my accounts else it will go off.
I'm using its Wi-Fi to send this message via my PC because any 2 - 3 touches will switch the phone off.
once it does that, it won’t even boot to bootloader before it goes off again unless plugged to power.
what I do to solve this please??
