Hi guys,
I just got my Xperia a few days ago and I noticed that my time is always delayed!
yesterday, i didn't look at my phone for a few hours and when I did, clock was delayed by an hour! I thought I was still early for an afternoon meeting but it turned out that I was late 30 minutes!
I didn't think anything of it, I just adjusted the time, maybe i had it wrong to begin with since the phone is still new, but this morning it was late again! by 20 minutes.... so I said, there must be something wrong with it?
adjusted the clock again and took a look at it after 2 hours late again by 10minutes!!! aaah!!!
Is there any fix to this?
I did a search and the HTC diamond has the same problem...the fix for the diamond is hotfix...will this work with the Xperia as well?
Any other way to fix this problem?
Help!
Thanks!
got the sameproblem since a few days... dunno what it is.
no one knows what the problem is?
still no one?
there is a a few threads on this topic on the forum, search it
there is no fix other than try the today panel for about 5-10 mins and then go back to whichever panel you were on. not sure why but that sorts it out, until it happens again. for me it happens every 3-4 weeks
the alarm isnt affected by this, also when you click the clock it will show you the latest time, i think its a screen update problem.
let us know if the HTC fix works here.
Thanks...I did try to search but no real solution...maybe I gave the wrong search words.
Most definitive answer I got was yours and the hotfix....maybe someone else can point me to the right direction?
I also noticed this....the panel time was delayed and then the time on the upper right copied the time on the panel?
What I did was I removed the clock on the panel, now my time is only delayed by 5minutes.
I'll try your suggestion.
Thanks!

Time on my Xperia is wrong mostly 7 minutes. When i synchronize it with SynchroTime it is usually 422-423 sec delayed. After synchronization within 5-10 minutes the clock again is back the 7 minutes :-/ Also clock on the panel (any) and the tray bar (upper right corner) often show a bit different time (the tray one is delayed 1-3 minutes). Can not realize what is caused this. Any idea how to fix it?
go to \Program Files\Panels\SonyEricssonPanel\ open config1.ini or config 2 and change SummerCity to 1...

I also had clock delays on my phone, sometime 20 minutes, sometimes 5min., sometimes 2hours...now I think its fixed.
This is what I did, I removed the clock on the panel, yes, because I was experiencing the same problem as yours....the panel has a different or later time than the one on the top bar, what happens is everytime I go to the panel top bar always adjusts to the late time on the panel...so I removed the clock on the panel.
Next, I was forced to hard reset because of a program I installed kept on stalling my phone for some reason.
Now my time (on the top bar) is always on time.
Maybe the solution was just the hard reset? but I still did not put time on my panel, I don't want that problem again!
Hi, I hope this is where I ask a new question. My HTC Snap had been working perfectly up until last this morning. Whenever I go to any app (i.e. PIE, Mail, Start button, etc.) my Snap reverts back to the home screen as if I had tapped on the back key, but this does it by itself after a about 15 seconds.
It never did that before. The last thing I installed yesterday was the TCPMP player, but I don't have any other type of mods on my phone beyond the install of a few apps, and again it was working fine last night.
Tried soft reset, but issue is still there. Afraid to do a hard reset thinking that will deleted everything including Sprint added apps.
Has anyone experience this? I want it to stay in the program until I decide to close it. It's now a pain when loading web pages and it jumps back to the home page. Help please from the experts!
**** UPDATE: RESOLVED ****
I found the issue. Somehow the Home Screen setting was set to 10 seconds. Bumped it up to 5 minutes.
I'm in between surgery so thought I'd post a quick question where the answer is puzzling me.
Basically, I'm in wonder if this has happened to any other soul?
Picked up my HD2 when I came out of Theatre and it simply would not switch on.
Thinking it may be the battery that had run down I connected it to a power source to charge and noticed the Orange charge indicator did not light up.
Next I took out the battery and reinserted, then pushed the power button......
Still nothing.
Thinking was it a problematic battery (although it still should have switched on when connected to a power source) I exchanged the battery for the spare I take around with me.
Still nothing.
Finally, I reinserted the first battery and once again pressed the power button.
This time it fired up and loaded without any issue.
I checked the battery level ~ that indicated 56% still remaining.
So I am in puzzlement as to what may have caused it's temporary death.
Has any other had a similar experience?
Edit 01 ~ 24 Feb 2010
It would seem that to some (myself included) there is a fix that does indeed cure the problem and that is by using the software application MemMaid.
Others have tried SKTools but MemMaid seems to operate much better at terminating the freezes.
Unfortunately MemMaid is not free and seeing as HTC will not budge from this being a 'users personal settings' that is causing the freeze our only course of action at the moment is by using MemMaid.
However, please do note..... Not everyone has benefited from using MemMaid; why that is the case could be down to some individuality ~ a different setting, installed software, routine notification, etc. etc.
In other words first try the free trial version of MemMaid and if it seems to cure the the problem then do consider investing in it.... besides all this it is a great piece of software.
You can get hold of MemMaid here.
Word of Warning.....
Ensure you set up MemMaid correctly. I spent ages with member wacky banana throwing many personal messages between the two of us like fervid lovers until finally wacky came up with a setting we could use.
Below is the settings to apply to MemMaid:-
In your programs section you should see 2 icons, one called Memmaid Quick Clean and the other is Memmaid.
Click on the Memmaid icon and a window opens.
At the top left corner it should say Quick Cleaner but this is not relevant for now.
Put a tick in the the following options (the list is scrollable):
- compact ram
- windows temp files
- temp files
- ie cache files
- ie history files
- opera cache
- dead shortcuts
- duplicate notifications
- dangling notifications
- invalid notifications
- rebuild notification queue
- recycle bin
- google maps cache
Press the CLEAN button and wait for the tool to do its job then press the close button.
Next, on the bottom right of your screen, click the Tools option. From the drop-down menu choose CLEAN SCHEDULE.
Tick the following items:
- on soft reset
- daily (here you need to scroll to the right to select the icon with the 3 dots in it to set your schedule)
- show report (optional)
- show progress (optional)
Click DONE on the bottom left corner on your screen and job's a good 'un!
Edit 02 ~ 24 Feb 2010
Member jonbaker76 came up with a few extra tips to help alleviate the problem:-
1). Install MemMaid and follow settings provided by Beards & WB
[*]2). Disable the alarm (use G-Alarm maybe)
[*]3). Turn off Facebook updates
[*]4). Turn off Weather updates
[*]5). Turn off Internet Time Sync
[*]6). Wait a while before carrying out a soft reset, your Phone may just wake up

Guys,
We are starting to find a pattern building up here relating the problem with Sense.
Some users don't have problems with ROM 1.48 but others Do/Did (I used to) so we can't say v1.48 was okay.
However, it's the later ROM's which seem to have the greater of the problem which could relate to an issue with Sense.
i.e. Although evident in v1.48 it was not as strong but with either Cooked ROM's or updated ROM's the problem has been magnified.
A few Guys have now tried using their HD2 without Sense and report a stable platform.
What I am saying here is if you have the problem and you can afford not to use Sense then try running your Phone without it for a trial and see how it performs...... With enough info we can pass this on to HTC.
I had a situation where I switched the phone back on (from standby/power saving mode) only to find it was dead. To get it running again I had to perform a soft reset and, like you, I found that I had plenty of battery remaining. This happened only once in three weeks of usage and I'm not sure what caused it.
James
I had a similar issue a few days ago.
I picked the phone up and pressed the power button, but nothing happened. I did the same as you and assumed that it was flat (despite me being a charging maniac!) I plugged it in and got no charging light, so I popped out the battery and put it back in. It turned on first time then.
I wasn't really concered as it's only happened once in over 3 weeks, and I'd only recently upgraded the ROM so I was ignoring any little foibles like this.
Maybe it's a little more common than I thought?
this has happened to me twice since upgrading to the new recent rom.

Big brother watching us...
Beards,
Did you have any diary appointments or alarms set on the device today that you did not immediately cancel on notification or multiple alarms set/going off? If you did then this is probably a notification queue issue locking up the phone, forcing a reboot.
This symptom was very common with the TYTN when it first came out and drove me absolutely bananas!
Long shot but let me know.
WB
No... nothing was left to tie the Phone up.
I remember checking everything before I went down to Theatre earlier this morning.
In a way I'm pleased it's not an isolated case and that others have experienced something similar (sorry Guys, I don't wish it on you ~ just a little relieved I'm not the only one).
I know HTC monitor the 'Camera Problem' topic (they've told me this directly). Maybe they have some super-duper exra-terrestial monitoring machine that can achieve the Dynamics of masspoint collections..
Yep, I too have had this issue.
Was using phone normally, left it on stand by by pressing the power key. Wanted to make a call, it did not turn on. Opened back cover to do soft reset, did not turn on, started sweating..., swore at the phone and took battery out and then replaced battery and pressed power button and what do you know, booted up like nothing happened.
Am using original shipped UK ROM. Have not upgraded.

I had the same problem - it happened only 2 times for a week, but it was nasty enough (and in combination with the camera problem) to make me finally send my phone back for a refund.
Basically the symptoms were similar - I would leave the phone somewhere for more than a couple of hours only to find it somehow switched off or something. The buttons light up when clicked, but the screen remains black - only battery removal helps and after that runs like normal...
I have quite a number of calendar notifications etc. - this might be a good clue!
I have the feeling that this thread might grow as big as the camera thread. Perhaps HTC fix that with a software update as well ...
A friend of mine had this problem with his HD2 on Sunday morning. He was surfing the web with it when it froze up. When he took the battery out/in again it wouldn't turn on.
He called HTC and they came to pick up his handset on monday. I guess he'll have to wait to get it back repaired Maybe he should have tried taking it out a few more times first.

I had something similar this morning, I have been using the alarm for the last 2 weeks with no problems. this morning the screen lit up, i saw the notification on the top but there was no noise. as a veteran of WM i dismissed it as "typical". however, the screen then went blank, the buttons would light up but nothing happened. I reset the phone to no avail, button still lit up but no screen - mild panic. removed and refitted the battery and all has been well since.
won't be too chuffed if it happens again....

Beards,
Notwithstanding that this may be some kind of new software or hardware problem, I just wonder about the notification queue.
I would try using a copy of SKTools to clear the notification queue ( I think you can do other tweaks as well but it's been a while since I used it) and see what happens.
Did you have any missed calls you did not answer today (another possible culprit, linked into auto screen lock = disaster).
I am simply putting ideas out for you to try to narrow the problem down. Don't know if any of this will work.
WB
PS: Just had another thought; have you installed an application onto your SD card that is on-screen? Used to have this issue with a weather application, sat on screen but installed to the SD card.
If the phone went into sleep mode and the application polled the weather servers then it would die a horrible death. De-installing and reinstalling to phone memory solved the problem.
Again its a long shot but you never know.
WB
Ive had that same problem twice last night within th space of 1/2 hour and the today i ran fine up until about 5pm today, where it froze, I updated the rom on sunday from O2 1.43 hope this is not gonna be a problem, anyone know where to get O2 1.43 rom just in case I have to return

Even though my profession is based on absolute accuracy in detail, when it comes to finding out why the HD2 died I'll try any long-shot.
There were no programs loaded though and I know nothing was paged to make the Phone send any notifications.
I'll have a good check at possible programs/dll's later though.
Thanks.
I've had the same a few times. Probably the reason was overloaded main memory. I removed some mp3 files, but the situation wasn't change.
htc touch pro2 vs hd2... just got the answer!
a day ago... i was unsure about the upgrade. i had posted tis msg in xda but was advised by a senior member tat it was worth the upgrade n i culd find all my answers to the query here. here was my msg...
"hi all. with all the hypes surrounding htc hd2... n my htc touch pro2 fast losing its crown of being the best winmo device in the market... shuld i upgrade to the hd2? n watz wif the glass screen? wuldn't it crack easily? it's glass! appreciate everyone's take on this. the only selling point tat is tempting me away frm my pro2 is abt the speed... 1ghz vs my miserable 528mhz... sad. everyone's talking abt its blazing speed. is it tat obvious?!
then again there's tat camera issue... the infamous pinkish spot, which htc support claims it's related to the 1ghz dragon fella... software related... n restricted to only a selected few?! so it's like going2 the lottery n c who gets the infected piece is it?! bottom line is... my pro2 seems like a honda civic... n the hd2 is purportedly a nissan skyline, but wif so many question marks hanging over its head, shuld i still go for the upgrade? thnx!"
guess wat, after reading most of the threads here... i think i'll stick with the htc touch pro2. the hd2 has way too many issues... even worse than the camera thingy tat i knew abt... but the number of issues tat r highlighted here abt the hd2... is enuf2 make me say no to hd2.
This thread here reminds me to some issues with WinMo 6.5/Manila 2.5 ROMs for the Xperia X1: Over there in the forum, you can find quite some postings describing the "standby of death" problem.
Just very close to some of the other issues we now face with the "real" Leo, too. In fact, there are more "similarities" like the stand-by issue, and nobody was really able to clearly reproduce the problem as there seems to be no pattern. The same problems are not existing in WinMo 6.1/Manila 2.1 ROMs for the Xperia - but some in a WinMo 6.1/Manila 2.5 version, when I follow the thread correctly.
I do strongly believe that there are, underneath the hood of Leo´s operating system, quite some nasty bugs in WinMo as well as Manila. I cannot imagine another explanation why 2 totally different devices with very different hardware (parts) would show the almost exact same issues.
Of course, porting the Leo ROM to something like Xperia may bring some issues, but most apparently, most bugs are coming from MS and HTC, not the talented chefs here. (One more reason to look forward to custom ROMs for the Leo. No good sign for HTC though, frankly spoken...)
mine die this morning too ... alarm didnt go off
but press and hold the power button wake the phone up and alarm start ringing. Then I power it off, and all the other buttons does not turn on the phone other than press and hold power button = soft reset ... weird
Camera patch is out today
waiting for new ROM release
Same thing happened to me this afternoon. The phone wouldn't start up when I pressed the power button so I tried holding the power button down to force a soft reset. At one point all the buttons lit up but nothing more happened. Eventually I pulled the battery out, stuck it back in and then the phone started.
hello all
Firstly, not a hd2 hater, quite the opposite in fact. I love the beast.
However, I'm having a bit of a problem with it.....
Whenever I leave it in my pocket or overnight for a while, and go to unlock it,
It gets stuck on the unlock screen for like 30 secs!
Something similar also happens sometimes when I'm using the phone, e.g. to play a game or read something with MS reader, it will slow everything down to the point that my game is crawling or it takes like 10 odd seconds to change my ebook's page, and this will last for 30s-1min.
I'm running the 1.61 ROM and other than that don't really have any problems!
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? anyone found a workaround?
Would appreciate any help!
anyone else had this problem?
Phone won't unlock
I have a similar problem My HD2 unlock slider won't slide far enough left or right to unlock. The slider stays stuck in a position 90% of the way across. I can slide it to the other side by the same amount, but the phone won't unlock. the only way i can get it to work is to hit the end/power button (the only button which works), and then take the battery out.
Does anybody have any thoughts? I'm about to do a hard reset, but would prefer not to.

try flashing a custom rom. see my sig for all you need to know about custom roms.
Hmm, mine did the same thing yesterday after using SportyPal on a 4hr MTB ride. It performed great while out and about, but when I got home the unlock screen had frozen. I tried different things to get it going but ended up doing a reboot. Thankfully SportyPal retained my ride data and everything was cool. But I guess there are deeper issues causing more people to experience this?
In any event get rid of the lockscreen. it causes significant lockups and lags on the HD2. Take a look here and read the comments for an additional reg value: http://windowsmobile.mobilitydigest.com/disable-lockscreen-hd2-stops-freezing-its-magic/
mine freezes for no reason at times it wont get pass the first plash screen. i tried flashing just about every rom i can get my hands on and nothing works. i tried flashing android and my phone started getting really warm
Hi guys, this is my first post here and I hope someone can help me please!!
I got my phone 5 weeks no problem till last night,
basically when I am in screen lock state and then go unlock, I keep getting this anoying WHITE screen which coveres the whole screen and only on the top in narrow blue band it say "wiedges setting" to get out of this, I have to press the return button (on the right ) and it goes away , this happens everytime I go to lock position (after it stays in that position for 5 minutes or more),
Also I noticed even DURING my call after about 5-6 minutes through out the call this white screen appears and it ALWAYS goes away as soon as I press the return button.!!
so please tell me how to get ride of this?
if not, how to reset the phone without losing my apps and data? if I do factory reset is my apps will stay in andriod market, or do they also get deleted?
my phone IS NOT rooted phone.
what can I do, this is really killing me, as its everytimes into my face.
Please help me...
thanks so much
ps. is there any way that I can reset the phone to previously saved version! (3 days ago lets say),?
Sounds to me like an app causing this, as it seems it wants you to alter some settings.
Can you think of any apps you have installed since it started happening? It is usually always the fault of a dodgy app when you have issues.
I am not sure you can restore the phone back 3 days if you havent already done a backup.
Restoring your phone won't necessarily help as you will probably end up re installing the bad app once you are done.
I would try taking off some apps that you installed recently or anything you think might affect the screen.
Good luck and i'm sure someone else will be able to help
Biff.
edit: if it only started last night, is there anything you've installed just before it happened?
