HTC should get their QA department in fucking order. It's unacceptable to think that AAA phones are buggy, leggy and act like this. Is anyone running gingerbread 2.3.5?
My HTC Desire has done this since I brought it. I brought it when they first came out and I can't deal with out a phone for like 3 months while it is sent off for repairs so I am just never going to buy a HTC Phone ever again. I have owned 7 HTC Phones and 4 of them have died from manufacturing faults. I do like HTC's phones but their build quality is really bad.
I am now having this same issue. I am located in the United States, and my cell phone carrier is US Cellular. The phone continues to overheat and reboot itself. If you take the back cover off, the bottom left corner below the battery gets very hot. I can kind of judge when the phone is about to reboot due to how hot this area is. I had a software reboot done by US Cell, this didn't fix the issue. Time to send it in for repairs, wish me luck!
I have the same problem. It was sent to 3 Network who re-flashed it, returned very quickly but as soon as i installed a few apps and tried Google Navigation, it did the same as yours. Also my phone could not be used whilst it is on charge.
Total disaster and to make matters worse, it has been in the HTC repair lab for nearly one month now. No phone for 4 weeks and it's still ongoing. I have a HTC Desire HD as well, but that phone seems to have no problems so far.
nd i suugested it 2 my gf who bought it nd overheats widin fucking 10 mins...fucking htc fucked me...i m in bangladesh...no customer service here :( ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
If this video didn't help you fix your broken htc phone or you just want to cut your losses and sell it you should try listing it through REMOTE LISTER. Its sooooo easssyyyy. In under 10 min you will be on your way to getting a new phone. CHECK OUT OUR CHANNEL NOW!
I have the same problem but it only happened when I went to Tanzania (cause it's really hot). But when I'm at home in Cape Town it's fine. It's pretty annoying.
My phone is doing the same thing..Ive had it since may... I tried reinstalling it, doing the clear out thing and that made it 1000 times worst, I cant even get my home screen up anymore...its so annoying having such a great phone but not being able to use it due to it always restarting/... im going to try return it tomorrow or get it repaired... :(

My "Desire" is still resetting up to 10 times/day. On charging, browsing, navigating, playing. Any time. I don`t want to bring it to HTC service and wait for 5 weeks. I like my phone, but....i begining to search another device with Android.
Yeah, I do have the same problem. Sent it back and they switched the antenna?!?! LOL! I guess I have to send it back, and I hope they will fix the motherboard.
@siscopiso Thanks! I hope they can fix the problem :S
If they won't, do you think the problem will get worse, because to me it only happens sometimes when i for example plays a high-prestanda game for a while. How much would it cost if I had to pay for it??
@adamal93 no Idea, well for me it was happening not that often first but then after I updated my google maps it went berserk exactly like the video. it does have something to do with heating but I'm not sure that the heat causes the restart or not (which shouldnt anyway)...mine doesnt get THAT hot anymore after they changed the motherboard!
@siscopiso Strange.. Very well, I have sent it to reparation, and I hope they will fix it. I said to them that I believe it's the motherboard, and right now they are waiting for some parts to be delivered, blablabla. I hope it doesn't take many months, because I promise that when I will get it back, it's probably outdated. :/
I had the same problem on my Desire, when I launched Google Navigation it would reboot in loops, maybe restarting over and over again, mine has gone back to HTC UK for repair, I hope they fix it.
Thanks siscopiso, that's exactly what I'm doing. I've attached the youtube link to the notes that accompany the faulty Desire. I note that there are quite a few Desires doing this now.
@siscopiso thats what they are doing to mine... I love the Desire, but recently it's had me wanting to throw it against a wall withh all the self reboots!
@siscopiso repaired twice changed mobo twice and now a week later its rebooting again, not even in a overheated environment, just a phone call and aircon blowing on it.

I have the same problem.....and I live in Bangkok! It's even hot in the winter!!! haha.
So, I take it that the problem is the motherboard. I've had my phone rooted so I'll probably have to pay for it myself. Hope it's not expensive!
