Hi people,

I'm surfing around this forum for a few months now and found some very helpfull software, thanks for sharing this.

I own a HTC S730 for 14 months now, the telephone always worked great.
2 months ago the problems started, the telephone starts crashing by downloading e-mail (E-mail with standard Outlook and some IMAP4 mailboxes) and sometimes with phone calls during more than 3 minutes.

When the telephone is crashing it is getting warm and turns off.
When i turn off the telephone again it works normal again, i only miss some call history, text messages and e-mail like it's resetted to an earlier time, 1 hour earlier or something.

After that i have searched on many forums for an answer, but i couldn't find one. I decided to flash the telephone and install WM 6.1 the dutch version from this forum.

After the reinstall it worked well for just 1 day, after that the problems returned (also with other versions of WM, i've tried this).

Finally i decided to sent the Telephone to HTC support, they just updated the sofware and replaced the cover. This had no effect, i still had the same problem so i decided to return the telephone again.

The 2nd time they did a boardswap, so you'll think the problems are solved now.
I've recieved my telephone yesterday, i have installed it today and now the telephone is crashing again.

Does anyone have the same problems with this telephone? i'm getting frustrated of this thing but i think the people who read this post will understand me.

If you have any sugestions feel free to post.

So to summarize your post:

- Phone crashes with both original and modified roms
- Reinstalling seems to temporarily solve the issues
- A boardswap didn't solve it either.

Apart from the last point, this all appears to me it is a hardware failure. This means you now have had 2 different phones which both crash? Are you really sure they actually changed the board and just didn't tell you that they did? Is the IMEI number (*#06#) still the same as on the box? (different board = different IMEI).

The only other thing that I can think of for now is your SIM card. It may be faulty, which possible renders the S730 unstable.
