DSOD - touch - almost daily - anyone else?

**codyppc** · #1 (**permalink**) 12-17-2007, 10:30 AM

as my user name says it all, i am a fan of ppc. i have had my issues but the DSOD is the worst. i have know idea how many calls i have missed due to the phone being like this. it is driving me crazy.

i have gotten a DSOD almost every day since my 30 day return policy expired. sometimes i would get 2 or 3 DSOD's. i started friday and did a hard reset and just ran the stock apps. in fact i didn't even load the sprint tv, on demand, or IM apps. the only thing i have running is my push email (4smartphone). i dont know if something is wrong with my phne or not. it has been droped once before but that was 3 weeks before i had any problems. i think i will go and get it swaped out at the service and repair center today. what a pain.

has anyone else been getting this DSOD on there touch?

thanks, cody

I am a noob. What is a DSOD?

Dark Screen of Death. and I have gotten it once. It was just sitting there. I think my battery may have gotten low causing it but I'm not sure. I did a soft reset and all was better after that. let me know how that turns out for you. I'm still in my 30 day window and not sure if I want to keep the touch or the motoq9c sprint sent me both to evaluate. there are things I like about each.

the things i know were NOT the problems where...

battery... i have two OEM batteries. i switch out when i get home for the afternoon shift. i really never get below 50%. the one today was with a 90% battery.

apps... nothing but stock. and most of those have never been ran.

memory card... i use this just for storage. really only access it like once a week. no apps one the card. just backup cabs and important docs.

reg edits.... the last two weeks i have been running the device with NO red edits what so ever.

thanks, cody

I've experienced it a handful of times. I'm sure the next firmware update will fix this issue.

I got tired of mine DSODing so I exchanged it within the 30 day limit. Its been a week now and no problems at all. The original phone had a manufacture date of 10/17/07, the new one has a manufacture date of 11/09/07. Maybe HTC had a few bad factory runs in October and now have it straightened out. if you do a ##786# you'll be able to view the manufacture date. I have a feeling that HTC had enough complaints they may have quitely fixed a problem in the manuacture process.

Mine was manufactured 11/8/07 and I've been getting the DSOD more often lately (twice yesterday, but once while it was on)... My memory card also loses stuff.

Smile and knock wood when you say that!!!
Just Kidding..
I had the same problem and exchanged mine for a manu date of 11/25 and no issues at all...
Have it tweaked out and unlocked and maybe once in a blue moon get a lock up or slow down...
