I've been searching through the forums to find if my problem is the same as others. When running applications which are installed on my memory card they seem to be very, very slow and almost come to a complete freeze. I'm not sure if this is the memory card (bought from Ebay) or a general performance problem of the phone.
I have the O2 version with the original rom installed.
Is it the phone or memory card?

Ever since I put in a 2gig memory card my 8525 has gotten very slow to wake up. Without the card it comes out of sleep almost instantly. With the card installed it takes 2-3 seconds. Any ideas on what might be causing this issue?
I'm running the vp3G v2.0 WM6 ROM and the memory card is a SanDisk 2.0gb MicroSD.
Also I have to reboot the 8525 after inserting the card to get it to recognize it. Is this normal?
Clear Skies,

Seems like something you have installed needs to access it on the card first. Check what programs you have that is most likely to run in the background and it's probably installed on the card and not the device.
I am getting the exact same problem except all i did was move my pictures and videos to my sd card... I have no other programs etc on my phone. please help
Same problem (solved)
I had the same problem and found that the advice of ThaiM was correct.
The offending application in my case was Garmin Q that seem to need to access the micro SD before allowing the phone to wake up.
Now wake up is quick but the unistalled Garmin Q is complaining that it can't find the garmin.exe. probably something in the startup folder of registry, should be able to sort that out.
Thanks for the solution
Hey all,
I'm having a hell of a time keeping my N1 running during any intensive reads/writes on the memory card. I'm currently running MoDaCo's ERE27 Root with the himem kernel. The device was not resetting before it was rooted. I'm using a 16GB Class 2 SDHC from Sandisk. Currently I don't have another SD to test it with. Until I can get one, what's the consensus on this? Bad root? Bad SD? Bad device?
what do you mean with intensive reads/writes? i have the same sd card (which is labeled as class 2 and is fast like class 6 ). i have transfered a 2gb file from pc to N1 without a problem.
Say for instance, if I've taken alot of new pics, when the Gallery writes alot of new thumbnails, that has crashed the phone, though not always. Copying large caches of files on or off the device always crashes the phone. Using Doubletwist to read the N1's music library has crashed the phone. Scanning the SD card for errors in Windows has crashed the phone (and as a matter of fact, scanning will ALWAYS crash the phone).
I had the same problem with that same configuration. I flashed cyanogens rom and the problem went away.
I have read a lot of posts and threads on this forum. I see a lot of people have the same issue with their HD2 freezing and generally playing up.
I read the RED button reset models were possibly a bad batch but this is not really confirmed.
I read about the issues with the memory cards that were shipped with the phones as being faulty. So I decided to remove mine and put my sms and ring tone on the phone memory. So far going onto my 2nd day I have not had any issues with the phone. Before this I would have intermittent issues with SMS tone not playing when receiving messages, the phone itself just freezing up and having to perform soft resets very often.
Now I spoke with HTC and they are not wanting to send out a memory card replacement. So it seems as some get a replacement and some don't, not sure how this works. If the 16GB class 2 cards are in fact defective everyone should get a replacement.
Now I am not 100% sure if the card itself is defective or if the hardware in the phone possible defective. But I would rather test another card 1st then have to send the phone in and wait 4 weeks to get it back.
I do however have some questions.
1. Storing your sounds on the memory card is this a no no, or should it make no difference in the way the phone behaves? I mean if I have my sounds stored on the memory card should the phone work exactly in the same manner as if they are stored on the phone memory, with no freezing occurring etc..
2. I have noticed that battery drain has been halved when no memory card is present in the phone. Now is this normal that when the memory card is installed that battery drain is doubled? I have tested this with the phone in standby mode. Without memory card the drain is 1% every 2hrs. With memory card the drain is 1% every 1hr.
3. What class memory cards should be used in the HD2? Seems like the class 2 cards are causing issues or maybe the ones sent out are just plain faulty. What are the recommendations as a minimum class 4? or should I go with class 6,8,10?
The ROM is stock, hardly any applications installed only IGO8 and SPB timer. This the is the Telstra 9193 (Australia)
I have copied my data over from the memory card and formatted it. Will try it again to see if it makes any difference but I suspect not.
yes, your phone uses more battery with memory card in. Something to do with polling it.
I agree that htc should give everyone new cards. I am not sold that the card is the whole problem, but since I got a new card and new phone (5 days), I have had zero freeze ups.
I don't think the speed of the card matters a whole lot. Even a decent class2 is going to be faster at data transfer than the phone can handle.
Handset freezing or re-starting? Try a 2G sim to eliminate problem
My handset was returned to HTC for investigation 3 times with similar symptoms and I finally resolved the issue! I am on T-mobile UK network post pay sim. I tried a 2G sim card just to rule out a sim card issue (as I only had a 2G pre pay), and this 2G sim worked fine with no handset crashing, re-starting or freezing.
I deleted my Hotmail settings and re-entered, as it became apparent that my settings were trying to constantly download ALL 7,000 e-mails I have in my inbox!!! I later installed, ensuring that only a maximum of 50 e-mails were downloaded.
Not even the HTC technicians could get to the bottom of this one!
same here with similar issues, deleted all my emails that the hd2 was sync too and my freezings stopped. it also do it before during any syncing. Turned off full weather animation, any widgets i didn't need, and so far so good.
Hello Ya'all,
First and foremost, I would like to thank the forum and its members for the great supply of information and technology.
Device: HD2 is currently running YukiXDA's Windows Phone 7 ROM
Storage Device: Sandisk 8GB Class 4 MicroSDHC
Issue: I flashed my phone with Windows 7 after formatting the SD card with SD-Card formater for optimal results. The installation went perfect, the SD card was recognized, etc. and everything was working perfectly. I added pictures and music to it, no problems; however, when I put an additional album onto the HD2, the phone started freezing and rebooting quite frequently, with the occasional Storage card error; thus, I assumed (and read) that adding a little more music would patch up the problem. I tried it and to my surprise, the rebooting decreased, but the problem still persists. I know some of ya'all are probably wondering: "Go buy a new SD card," However, this is one of the cards that is known for being compatible quite frequently; thus, I can't be too sure whether I'm just wasting money or not. Any help would be appreciated.
This might sound hilarious; however, after updating to blackseven mango, my phone has not rebooted for the past 6 hours (It is infamous for rebooting every hour or so). I am going to test this out one more night and see what the problem is. I'm sure it is not related to the roms; however, it would restart with every NoDo Rom, but for some reason, it hasn't with this one.
sd card
Its most likely your SD card I personally have never had any problems with restarting and I have the Samsung SD card that came with my us hd2

the adding of music is the key, ive found that my card has portions that are fine, in fact its super quick and stable, but if i go and install something it will start resetting, if its the same issue as mine then keep dumping 50MB of junk on it until it becomes stable, i honestly do not know why this works unless WP7 is so sensitive to IOPS that even the slightest hicup will make it reset

Hi
I have had problems with alot of reboots, up till 5 per hour and some times when booting it just get stuck on a white og green screen so that i have to pull the battery. But that was untill i found this yesterday, i filled my phone up(from over 10 gb free to only 2gb free) and now it is running sooooo smooth not a reboot yet
So people with random reboots might noth have to by a new sd card. ???
Wish i found this before i ordered a 16 GB class 10 hehehe
Just a quick report back on this, after filling my sd card up with music i only had ONE reboot last night in stead of rebooting many times per day else it has been running all smoth.
So i must say this is a great result by just adding music to the phone
HTC HD2 with cm7 hyperdroid
Hi my phone randomly reboots a lot ive rooted it and flashed cm7 hyper droid- v10.4 "estatic eagle" android version 2.3.3 build #GRI40 a long time ago but now recently it just started randomly rebooting. i believe it started when i tried to update the rom from rom manager to a newer cm7 hyperdroid but for some odd reason my phone also doesnt reboot into recovery mode to put a new rom on it. please help. its getting irratating. thank you
Hi,
My HD2 is very frequently locked up after turning the screen on. I see the unlock button, but it doesn't unlock... Mostly after a minute or the device becomes responsive again. Also running Android from the SD card very slow (not usable). I found out that when I remove the SD card, it problem is gone. I bought a new SD card (32Gb samsung), but it has still the same problem. I have also installed a different ROM (Windows Mobile 6.5), still the same. The SD card can be accessed, music and navigation works also from SD.
Does anyone know what can be wrong?
Nobody has experienced this problem?
I found out that it is manilla.exe that's locking the system. It runs at 99% of CPU resource. But now to find out why. I'm afraid it's a hardware related problem, because Android from SD is also very slow.
