I got a serious problem with this rom.
My xda2 hanged (can't switch on) twice and hard reset when I plugged the power supply.
Anybody had the same terrible experience.....
I suspected it's the bluetooth problem cause I started using my bluetooth headset again last few days....but not sure....anybody got some clue????
Cheers,
Chris
After upgrading to this .187 O2 ROM, My XDA II is really slow all over the place. I deleted the O2 Active User Interface thing and that seemed to stop it from being slow when turning it on and off.
Yeah, happenned to me too... hard reset twice in 2 days!!...just after upgrade to this rom...
My xdaii just didn't react to anything, not even the power button, so i did a soft reset... but it did a hard reset instead :s.
after that i changed to a belgian ROM (1.72 too) BUT kept the radio from the O2... and i wasn't able to send/receive sms after that, so i completeley installed the belgian rom to get rid of the O2 one.
see my post about it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12656
EDIT : looks like other people have a proble with the ON/OFF button under this rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12690 :| [/url]
The issue of the Xda II not responding to anything but hard reset happened to me two or three times, but I was on 1.60.44WWE.
The first time, I reinstalled almost everything to see if a particular program crashed the unit.
The second time, I narrowed it down to GPRS Tweak ... but still it happened.
The last time, I took out a program called SpaceReclaimer, that clears away cached & temporary files ... and this time, perhaps it was pure luck but the problem hasn't occurred since, it's been more than 6 months now.
I have no solutions, but just to share my experience and compare notes, perhaps the new ROM came with an app which messes with system files in background and causes this to happen. Well, at least that's what I suspected what happened to mine as I remember using SpaceReclaimer quite often before those hard resets.
Hi all,
I was wondering whether you have installed any program after the ROM upgrade or not? Coz I have no problem with my customized .187 ROM at all (what I have removed all UK O2 CABs, put some HK and AUS network settings and edited the config.txt). It works like a charm! The only 2 possible reasons I can think of for your problem would be 1) program(s) installed after ROM upgrade or 2) ROM is not correctly customized/upgraded. If worst comes to worst, phone is still messing up, try to do a SD-card ROM recover and redo the upgrade.
Hope my opinions can give you guys some hints on how to fix the problem.
Cheers!
I am using the latest HTC ROM in the UK with Radio v. 1.03.03.10. When I restart the unit in the morning after switching the power off overnight the phone is off enough times to be a nuisance if I do not notice it. Occasionally it switches into flight mode when the unit is on as well, but this seems to be happening less frequently. I also sometimes have difficulty making outgoing calls, ie the call ends before even getting connected, and redialling will not work until I switch the phone off and back on again. Is anyone else having these problems? Is this an issue with the radio ROM? I have read about the difficulties with the latest Radio ROM upgrades on the forum, and if a Radio ROM upgrade would solve the problem I would appreciate some advice on the best one to go with for use primarily in Europe, with occasional travel to the US and Japan.
Hi, Sorry to hear about your issues, I and a couple others here have or had the problem with the phone being off/flightmode after turning it off, then back on.
Theres a another post about this somewhere..I was just too lazy to find it before I posted, and last I checked a true fix hadn't been found.
If I am correct it shouldn't occur if you only do a softreset, and if you look at your signal bars when you shut it off, it looks like it turns the phone/radio off during the shutdown process...that is normal I'm pretty sure, cause even when it worked correctly it still shut the phone off before a power off, I think the issue is related to the startup process and it isn't correctly turning it back on.
I have had it work fine for the longest, and then when I installed some software it quit, after the fresh installation of software it has worked again, also I notice if I power off the phone while its charging and then power it back on, it always works correctly.
I haven't had any actual incall/call issues myself I can't say if a Radio upgrade would help with that, but I don't suspect a radio only upgrade would help with the flight mode being on after a power down, but I am far from being positive, I think its installed software/ROM related, sorry I can't be of some real help, I'm dealing with it myself..its aggrivating to me, I have forgotten to turn flightmode off and missed calls for half a day untill I looked and noticed.
Start the improvement way by upgrading the Radio ROM
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Here you can find the 1.20 ROM, extracted from JASJAM ROM. Try to install it on your device.
Tell me about this.
Thanks for the feedback and the suggestions. Most helpful.
yes - i get that too - constantly (on a t-mob vario) - i get bumped off the network at least 5-10 times a day and it takes me anywhere between and 10 minutes to get back on. i also get bumped off systematically every night (i am always off when i get up).
calls too are a disaster - an average, it takes me 3 or 4 tries to complete a call when i have full network. (sometimes as much as 10-15 tries)
took my sim and put it into a magician and all went away, so *suppose* it could be a 3g thing, but i am really not convinced because the hermes does have a 2g radio as well (so it should fall back onto 2g whenever 3g fails...)
Not a Fix but a Working Solution
I started having the issue of the radio being off on startup a few weeks ago.
So I invested($10) in a copy of SK Softwares Scheduling Manager SKScheMa.
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?skschema/m_skschema.html
This has a powerful scripting language and one of the script commands is "GPRS on"
I created a shortcut in the startup folder to a GPRS On script. and since then I have had no more problems.
i´ve the some problem, what do you do for no more problems ?¿?¿
thanks
Thanks for this. I will give it a try. Do you know by any chance if this also provides a way to have the phone ring through the speaker when it is connected to a Bluetooth headset?
>Thanks for this. I will give it a try. Do you know by any chance if this also provides a way to have the phone ring through the speaker when it is connected to a Bluetooth headset?<
If you are refering to SKSchema, then this should be possible. You can create a script that runs when a call is received.
The script can then instruct the phone to play a sound file.
We turned off the UMTS service and reverted back to GSM and that seems to have solved the issue.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
J.
Just a slight update to maybe help find the cause, I had created a backup with spb before the problem occurred (minus pim data and emails not sure if it mattered) and after having the problem arise again and a few other issues, I decided to hard reset and try out the backup I made.
After installing my backup the problem was gone, and then I got bored the other day and installed some software, and I think removed some, and I had it happen once again after I had ran memmaid 1.72 and rebooted.
I don't know if it the software installaions that are causing it..but one thing that has been a constant is the memmaid, and it could even be my fault.
Is anyone having this happen to a basically oem device?

Well, I can't exacly tell why but I get the same feeling about extra software.
After a hardreset or ROM upgrate (now Cing 1.34/radio 1.16) everything's fine. I deactivate ActiveSync and install some extra software (PocketZenPhone, Total Commander, Regedit, TomTom). After a few days still everything's fine. So I install some other software (SPB PocketPlus, Jetware, a today- and phoneskin) and still everything's fine for a few days. But then on a (not so) fine day: it hangs! The phone doesn't react or TomTom is hanging on the startup screen or the whole device is freezing. Why? I don't know, softreset and everythings fine for a few days.
I notices a few situations while it happened: first when I connected the carpower adapter and second a few times while receiving a phonecall (in my carkit and on poweroff).
Uninstalling everything doesn't seem to do the trick: it still hangs now and then. Also I dont have the patience to hardreset and use my device clean, without extra programs for a few weeks. But I guess in that case everything would be ok (?). But a device without the extra's has no use to me...
My feeling is that the installing the extra's causes a instability in the registry or elsewhere. I also have the feeling that the hardware causes certain instability: the gliding keyboard, the screen (alignmentproblems), the buttons, the SD-card, the network cards, bluetooth... (I had my device in repair with HCT because of the too easy gliding keyboard, the stylus, and the instability with TomTom, but those problems are solverd for now, exept for TomTom). So much hardware, so much software, all in one small device...
A small addition to my previous post: I think another possible cause for instability are the famous memoryleaks. Starting and stopping programs in my opinion never clears the whole memory, in spite of "real" programstoppers like SPB PocketPlus. After working a few days this could cause a freeze (?)
I've been having this issue for a month or so now. I've tried hard resets, various ROM's, etc. It's intermittent, and I have not been able to establish any sort of pattern. As you can imagine, this is frustrating.
I'm on Sprint, and am under contract for 9 lines until February 2010. I am to the point that I want a different phone, but I need to have email. I do not want a Touch and I'm not too psyched about going back to a Blackberry.
Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem, or for a different phone that I can use on Sprint's network? (I have to retain email functionality)
I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about, but I have a similar problem. I am running the same ROM as you (DCD 2.3.2) as well as Radio 3.27, but I am on Verizon's network.
I use S2U2 to lock my device, and occasionally when I receive a phone call I am not able to answer it. The caller ID feature does not work with these instances and all I see is my Today screen while my phone is ringing. The left soft key says "call status" but I have no way of answering, nor seeing who it is that is calling. This is quite frustrating/annoying and I have tried many different combinations in the settings (power suspend on/off, direct draw on/off, etc.) to no avail.

Standard testing protocol...load the OEM 3.35 package, do not install other applications or tweaks, see if you still have the problem. If not, install applications or tweaks one at a time, waiting sufficient time to determine if the problem reoccurs, and when it does you have isolated the cause.
There are a couple of threads on this from a few weeks ago, we started trying to figure out which application was causing it but the threads fizzled...
The app that it looked like was at fault was Advanced Config, but it hasn't been confirmed - do you have it installed?
As of right now I'm running the newest stock ROM and still have the problem.
I have no applications installed.
I've been doing IT work for 10 years but can't nail down any source of this issue via my own experiences or through searching. I am stumped.

If you have the problem with the stock ROM with no tweaks or added applications, maybe it is a hardware problem. Try getting Sprint to exchange the equipment under the warranty.
Anyone have a solution to this? I had Adv Config, and removed it, but the problem persists. I have progressively begun to remove the last installed programs, resetting each time, but it does not seem to help. I would do a hard reset, but I did not back up all of my info yet. Any help would be appreciated.
Full Disclosure: I don't want to tick of the advconfig guys so I am saying this up front again... It's not confirmed that advconfig is the culprit, but so far, it's a very common factor.
Uninstalling the app didn't work for me either... had to hard reset (too the chance to load the latest DCD... 2.3.2 when I did it). You're going to have to save off what you need and then do that I am afraid.

Take the phone to a Sprint store, they will give you a new one if you have the replacement insurance plan... I think is about $7 a month or so...
I had a friend that was having similar issues, and that is what he did.
He hasn't had the problem since (about 3 months)
Ok, so, I used Sprite backup and backed up my data, then did a hard reset, and of course the problem went away. After doing a restore the problem went away. After a little trouble shooting I narrowed it down to a program called "Bennec83 New Battery Icon (White)" . I have yet to put all my programs back in place that I removed (5 total), but I put this one back on, and the problem re-appeared, I removed it and the problem went away. If It starts to happen after I replace the other programs I will report back here.
that's interesting. I did not have that program installed when I had the issue. perhaps there is a certain combination of registry settings or DLL files or something else that causes this (I am no where near smart enough when it comes to these thing to be able to speak with authority on them).
I hope someone can eventually figure this out once and for all, though my phone still works great after my hard reset a few weeks ago.
Just for the sake of it I put Advan Config back on my phone and what do you know, the issue returned again with that program too. I am guessing that these programs aren't playing nice with one/some of the other programs that I have installed as well, but I am no authority either.
My problem is intermittent. Sometimes after a hard reset or a fresh flash it is fine for a while. Sometimes it's a day or two, sometimes it is fine for 2 or 3 calls and then goes back to the usual. Have to press and hold the green phone for it to answer.
This is happening on stock and custom roms. I do not have the insurance policy but what kind of warranty does the phone carry from the manufacturer?
All Sprint phones come with a one year warranty. Within that time you can take your phone to a Sprint store and they'll repair or replace it for free. If they replace it you'll almost certainly get a refurb. Also, any replacement you get will carry the balance of the original warranty or six months, whichever is longer.
Going by what you're describing I'd say you could get a replacement as long as the Sprint techs can replicate the issue. If you're having a spell where it's doing it for days at a time, try to get to a store ASAP so they know you're not crazy. Of course make sure you're on a stock Sprint ROM with no third party apps installed so they can't blame it on faulty software. Good luck.
Has anyone suffered this problem? Phone rings, I pick up the call, the screen shows connected and starts the call timer but you cant hear anyone the other end. hang up the call and the phone freezes with only a soft reset (taking battery out) works. I have a T-Mobile contract handset and was running the 1.43 rom. I thought maybe flashing to another rom might help so tried the 1.48 update but still having problems. I have hard reset and installed no software but still have the problem. Any ideas guys.....
Since I cant see this problem on the forum I'm guessing its hardware related. I guess I'm going to have to find the original T-Mobile rom and flash it back before returning.
hey, I had the same problem and had even started a thread today. I went for broke and did a hard reset and this has solved it. Back up all your info and hard reset and pronto good to go!!
I wish it was that easy for me. I have hard reset 3 times, the last time I didnt install any software just in case one of my apps was causing the problem.
Everything seemed fine for a day or so then someone called me and it crashed again.

it has happen to me 2 times in one month, first time i was listening some musique some one call and as soon the call ended it Freeze.
Another time the phone was on stand by and some one call, and could not answer the phone just freeze.
Why why why Is HTC brilliant
I have the same problem with my WWE HD2. It seems to be linked to music playback off a slow microSD card. I used to get the bug with a Class 2 16GB card if I happened to be listening to music while I received the phone. After tha call ended the playback would resume normally but after a while it would start to stutter (reminds me of a similar bug in the original Diamond, infact) and eventually stop. After that, the phone would just stop responding to any inputs.
After popping in a Class 6 8GB card the issue is gone.

Interesting you mention listening to music but for me the crash happens when the phone is in standby, caller id shows, then I hit the answer button and the call timer starts but I cant hear the caller. From then on, I can hang up and then a complete freeze. I wasnt listening to any music, the ring tone is on the phones memory not sd card, so not sure about the sd card connection. After my last HR I didnt install any software except resco file explorer and microsoft my phone. I still get a crash.
I was going to return the phone back to tmobile for repair but it sounds like its software related rather than hardware.
Flash,
Have a look at this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468284 , act on it and see if it helps. Phone lockup in the way you described happened to me a couple of times when I first had the phone; no problems now.

What do you mean by "not closing down the radio" ?
Daniel
Sorry, I forgot the FM bit. In the past I used to listen to the FM Radio and pull the headphones out and the handset I thought automatically closed the FM app down. Any calls recieved on the handset after this would hang the HD2 after picking up the call. Up until the phone rang the HD2 would perform as normal, it was just an incomming call that triggered a crash. You could even make an outgoing call without a problem!
Now I close the FM app (by using the standbye icon on the app) first, then pull the headphones out. Not had the issue again.
Not solved for us that this happens to everytime... i can reset myphone and try to call right after the reset and it still happens.... I cant make a call or recieve a call at all lol
I had the same problem with radio rom 2.06.50.04 and 2.07.50.27 and miri's rom 6.5 v4.0.
Flashing to dutty's HG v0.8 rom with radio rom 2.07.50.27 solved it.
I had the problem with Dutty's v.06 and now have it with RoMEoS Rom....Don't think it is the Rom, and thought it was an app I isntalled until the OP said that he still had the problem with it even with no apps installed...

You might wanna try some different radio roms. Not really sure if it helps, but I guess the radio rom deals with calls etc.
Hmmm alright I will try that, I didn't think the radio rom's would freeze the phone...but I will try that as soon as I can get home.
Can anyone help??
I've had my leo for a while now and I love the phone with one major exception.....
Sometimes when I call a contact nothing happens then after an eternity, 2minutes, the call is placed. I have good network connection and have tried it with and without 3G.
When this error is present I also get a problem whereby I can't hang up.
This seems to be a software problem. I'm on the T-mobile network in the UK. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I couldn't find anything on the forums. I've tried stripping programs/software off and have tried both hard and soft resets. The problem appeared to go away after a hard reset but then appear again weeks later for no apparent reason.
I have the original ROM version (1.43.110.2) and no significant mod's apart from Cookie home screen tabs and a few simple registry tweaks.
Any help guys, I'm contemplating taking the phone back but will I just end up with a reconditioned model? Mine's in mint condition and I don't want to end up with some banged up phone.
Hi, Did the phone work before the reg tweaks and software installation? A new T-Mobile UK ROM was published on the 15th, it might be an idea for you to flash your phone, test it then tweak, if it doesn't work after you flash it then speak to T-Mobile. If it workls after you flash it but not after you tweak then there's your problem Here is the link to HTC's UK web site with the download. I'd guess that T-Mobile will have a link on their support site for it too, somewhere: http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=2.
Hope this helps.
Mine does the same thing. Also mine also freezes when I get incoming calls. After I talk to the other person, I can't hang up. It's frozen. I have to hit the reset button on the back or take out the batter. I have two HD2's T-Mobile US Versions on release day.
I did do some HD2 tweaks to turn on the LED when I get messages though.
I'm going to reset both devices and see what happens. Maybe the old softwares don't work on the HD2 even though it's for WinMo 6.5.
I really hope it work, because I hate to return the unit. It's a beautiful hardware.
Thanks CMMY, I'll try installing the new ROM as soon as I get a chance.
I didn't have the problem before installing software/tweaks; but then again it was only probably a couple of days before I played around with it. After I did a hard reset and reinstalled some software it was working fine for at least a week before the problem re-occured, which seemed quite strange. Today the phone is working fine but will undoubtedly return, the fault seems entirely intermittent.
Daily driver: I also have the same problem when recieving calls. I'll let you know how I get on.
Same problem here, my phone is 3 days old and I have to remove the battery to end most calls, did a master reset and thought that fixed it. Couple hours later it was back at it. I'm using a tmobile hd2. This seems to be a very common problem, hope they come out with a patch soon..
Same problem here, hope it gets fixed someday

I have this issue across diffrent roms, soft reboot does not fix it. just fixes itself after a while
Hi
Did you find a solution to this problem?
I'm using GSM HD2 Europe.
This problem start occurring after a while when I was using 29 Aug Energy rom.
After a reset the phone work ok for few hours.
When to problem start, the send physical button does not work.
if I want to make a call I must use the "phone" from the start menu.
When I try to end the call, the phone software stop responding, but the operation system keeps working.
In order to end the call I must remove the battery.
I when back to the original rom 1.66 from HTC site.
the problem still exist but less frequently.
(by the way the original rom work much slower then the energy custom rom.)
I’m wasting so much time on this phone, and I’m on the verge of giving up .
I will be happy to get some help.
Thanks

If you do not have BsB tweaks, but used tweak #44 in "Leo's tips and tweaks", this can cause problems for some.
can't hangup
I found the reason for this problem. (at least for the specific problem I had)
I'm using resco keyboard.
if I leave the Caps lock on after using the keyboard, then the "Send" HW button does not work, and you can't hangup calls.
by opening the keyboard again and releasing the caps lock the all work fine again.
I've also had this problem... Made me consider selling this otherwise great HD2, sometimes even running it over with a car
When I want to make a call, phone just won't dial - it freezes, but everything else works fine (only "phone app" freezes). So, I give up the call. Few minutes later, it unfreezes, and phone starts calling. Usually, from my pocket. Also, after a call, I can't hang up. I often ended up with removing the battery.
I tried everything...
Restarting the phone makes everything ok, but only for a few minutes.
Installing different app, tweaks, etc - nothing.
Removing everything and returning the phone to factory settings - nothing.
Then, I remembered to disable Sense. That was it. I have used the phone without Sense for months, and it didn't happen. Not even ONCE!
Can anybody here do anything with this?
I still want to use Sense because it looks awsome, way better than Windows interface...
You could try a custom rom. I have been using Dutty's latest and greatest without any of the problems you're describing.
