Help Android crashes only on certain locations

[niels2308]

Hello,

I'm experiencing some very strange crashes on my HTC Sensation. The crashes occur exclusivly if I'm inside my university buildings. The phone shuts off completely without any warning. If I boot the phone after such a crash some things are magically changed: System time, system date, battery charge level, signal strenght is down, and GPRS is the highest available data-link. No error-log is given at reboot. But here is the catch, if i'm at home or anywhere else I'm experiencing no crashes whatsoever.
I think that the University 802.1X WiFi has something to do with the crashes. The phone is unable to log into the network (all credentials and settings are right) if I don't supply my "reference-password". Untill i do that the phone endlessly tries to connect to the network. Forgetting the network doesn't help, powering off the WiFi doesn't help either. Crashes keep occuring.
I did a soft factory reset, and updated to ICS and still it crashes within 3 minutes after boot. I have run out of options, I have no idea what can be causing these strange crashes. My phone is now as usefull as a brick.

Greetings.

hi Neils,

can't really help, but if your problems started after update to ICS, I don't think you are alone.
After I updated about 5 days ago, loads of random seemingly unrelated probs.
There are very many complaints over the various Android Forums. Quite a lot seem to be around wifi being on or off.

For me for example I use Go Launcher, and when I turn wifi on when at home for example, evry time phone goes to sleep/stanby HTC sense launches itself, followed byGo launcher. Then Go launcher works OK.
B ut when I turn wifi off, the HTC sense kicks back in and I have to use that and change back to Go launcher.

No idea what the problem is, but there are plenty of others with issues around wifi and ICS.
