This just started happening for me. I was texting (and i have the text suggestions that drop down enabled) and the actually letters where no longer visible as i type. but they actually send as text it just wont show up on my screen.
about the same time i noticed that programs (even just the contacts) where taking 30+ seconds to load.
I run windows 6 and im over clocked to about 260mhz from 195.
i tried soft reboot a hard reboot and pulling the battery for 20 or so minutes. i can text normally some of the time but it always seems to fall back into the invisable text thing
should i reflash or what?
i ended up reflashing and everything works fine. im glad it was not a hardware issue . if this ends up happening to you back up your contacts to your sim ASAP i ended up loosing a few because sim manager was not working properly, oh well. yet another reason to keep everything backed up

Guys,
I'm pulling my hair out over this. My MDA Vario has often rebooted itself and i've always put it down to a glitch of one form or another, but today it has been rebooting every few minutes.
Each time it reboots a text message i've read reappears as NEW, as though the phone doesn't register me reading it before it crashes and reboots. If I delete this and other messages, within minutes once it's crashed and rebooted they will all return like a CACHED memory or something.
I don't know what to do.
It seems as soon as my screen dims on power save, it won't come back on and within a few seconds the screen goes white as it is rebooting.
Sometimes reading this message or doing anything in the message application causes the crash, sometimes it's happenign even without me doing anything.
HOWEVER - once i've turned off the power saver dimming the screen, no reboot is occuring. I've gone into the messages, read and deleted this message among others, and no reboot. If I manually turn the screen off though, within a few seconds it reboots.
What is going on ?!
i have the same exact problem! I changed the battery the day before yesterday and it has not done it since, but im not sure if it solved the problem as sometimes it does not restart in one whole day!
I've had my unlocked Cingular 8525 for about 3-4 months now, and never really had a problem with it. At first it worked great, but recently more and more when i have it open to text and then close it the screen would get garbled and messed up, easy fix of just hittin the end call button a few times and it would clear right up. Well friday my phone apparently decides it has had enough of me.. It froze up. So as a fix all on my part i just ripped the battery out and put it back in, worked fine for a few seconds then froze again. So i thought maybe it was because i had so many text on my phone (over 8000 in my inbox and around 7300 in my outbox), so i started deleting all of those. After doing all that it continued to freeze and lock up in the middle of doing things. It has been doing it since friday morning now, and i have no idea what to do to fix it. It had all the original 8525 rom and os and everything on it, i just flashed to Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 3.0.1 a few hours ago, and it worked perfectly...for like 45 minutes. Then it went right back to freezing all the time, when it freezes it doesnt have to be in standby, i could be writing a text, or clicking through a menu, or changing a setting, ANYTHING. I love the phone but idk what made it start doing this, i didnt change a single setting and i have never uploaded any programs or anything, just the stock progs from cingular and i uploaded a few ringtones. I have read that it could be the storage card, but it seems odd that it would just start doing it after the card i have has been in for months now (Sandisk2.0G). Idk what it could be, im at a loss..
ok guess my phone is just jacked then...
My old Alpine used to freeze up with TomTom (before they patched it to 5.21) because of the SD card problem, but I don't think it's related to the problem you're having.
It sounds more to me like a hardware problem - do you get any other symptoms exhibited by the handset when you get the freezing issue, or does it just happen without any warning?
Have you tried installing something like acbTaskMan to monitor your CPU usage and maybe log to a file to see if there's any excessive CPU usage before a freeze?
Hey everyone, I'm not sure whats going on with my HD2. Last night I was transferring my stuff from my fuze to my HD2 with PIMbackup, and it went well but after a little while it started acting a little weird. I transferred about 1200 sms messages, which I'm thinking makes it act a little weird because of the amount but I'm not sure. Then I started getting an error report saying a problem has occured with services.exe, and after that it froze and would not turn off, so I had to take the battery out and put it back in, but then the same problem happened again ten minutes later and I did the same thing again. And just now about 20 mins ago it froze and I did the battery thing again, but when it started back up it was very sluggish and I checked task manager but there were no programs running. I am confused about this because I got this phone yesterday and since then I havent really used it since I havent unlocked it yet, I have at&t, but I did install a program from the marketplace called wallpapers, but I'm not sure if thats the issue
I appreciate any help
did you transfer programs and registry settings? cos tarts not a good idea even between roms on the same phone, let alone across different phones.
no all I did was use the PIM backup and restore utility to transfer over appointments,call logs, contacts,messages,speed dials, and tasks. I dont think it transferred any registry files or anything
anyone know a fix to this? If not, will hard resetting my device do the trick?
Also, if I hard reset the device, will i lose all the stuff the phone came with like the transformers movie and programs, should I also remove the sd card while doing the reset?
any help is appreciated
The transfer of backed up SMS files, on occasion, can have a seriously negative effect on a "new" or different device from which they came and/or originated.
Try downloading an application called, MemMaid, and run the "Advanced Cleaner" which can run quite the detailed scan of all your system files, various cache folders, and much, much more.
Your device is fine, just a little cluttered I'm sure.
Ok, now I'm scared. I dont know wtf is going on, for some reason my phone wont turn on, I did a soft reset and the phone came on and it was sluggish, so I left it alone and it went on standby, then I pushed the lock button and it didnt turn on, the buttons just lit up, nothing else. So I took out the battery and put it back in and loaded it up and it was sluggish again, so I pushed the lock button to put it in standby and pressed the lock button again and the screen didnt turn on, but after a minute or two it turned back on, weird The weird thing is that after the error report for services.exe comes up and then the phone goes back to normal, no sluggishness.
So I just wanna know if I should hard reset it, or return it or what?
Definitely do a hard reset before trying to return it.

Try a hard reset and let us know how it goes. Don't worry, I've never actually heard of anyone bricking their device with PIM before
only the buttons lighting up when you press power is well known and called "sleep of death"
theres a thread in normal hd2 section called "hd2 died....or did it?"
have a read of that.
well i did a hard reset and everything went back to normal, it mustve been one of the programs i had installed, which were the bn ereader,marketplace,those games.
Seems like the SMS client likes to barf all over itself when people get a lot of texts going. I had about 2k texts going and my phone acted all kinds of crazy. I deleted most of them and it works fine again.
thats what i was thinking too. So does anyone here know how I can transfer all my text messages without it messing up my phone?
I had my Surround lock up twice today requiring me to remove the battery. Once while searching in the marketplace and another when I was typing in a text message. Anyone else have any freezes yet?
I'm only on day 2 with mine, but so far no freezes here.
i've had mine since nov 8th and i haven't had any freezes yet. has it done anything else?
I had a couple freezes 2 days after buying it requiring me to pull the battery once, but other than that, its been running every day since then without a reboot just fine.
I did install several applications from the marketplace which did not work until i booted the phone so perhaps that had something to do with it. Made me wish for a stylus and a reset switch though! Some things never change...
Mine just froze one time after downloading a program and I think it had to do with low signal strength so the download hung then the phone was frozen. Other than that smooth as can be.

I've had the Market freeze a few times on me too, but that's it so far...and I did pull the battery
Ive got a new one for you. The microphone on mine stopped working.... I was in the middle of a call and I could hear "hello...hello..." but he couldn't hear me. I did a power cycle and still no go. So I took the battery out and restarted it and it decided to work again. Now the battery was pretty low, but not dead you think that the noise cancelation crap in the phone could stop working with a low battery?? That was a new one for me
Constant Freezes and Reboots
Mine began locking up after I installed about 20 apps in one day. Then it would randomly reboot itself. Then it got bad, It would reset to default: no apps installed, no accounts, no contacts. But the wierd thing is, randomly it would come back with all my settings. I contacted HTC throug email and got a reply within 20 minutes. Told me to do Hard Reset because OS got corrupt somehow. Hold Volume Up & DOWN while powering ON. Options come up on screen to Hard Reset. I have since reinstalled every app as before and it works flawless now. Loving my Surround!!
I had my first reboot today, I was typing in a text message and it hung on the letter "I" then when dark after 30 seconds or so. It immediately botted back up and has been fine ever since. Strange...
My Note 4 (SM-N910V) fell out of my backpack and onto some leaves padding a rock, about 3 feet up. The phone went black. I tried to turn it on and it vibrated but stayed black and had that light blue led going. I saw that before when changing the screen out once but didn't get both connectors connected, so I thought it was the screen. When I got home, I slowly removed the old screen and found one of the connectors was knocked off somehow (I guess I didn't push it on all the way?). So I pushed it back in and pressed the power button and viola! I have my screen back. All good, right?
So I sent a text and thought nothing of it until I went to send another one and then I noticed the text I sent wasn't showing up on the screen. It only showed a text from much earlier. So I resent the same text and the little chat bubble appears for literally a fraction of a second and then is whisped away like it never existed. I sent a "test" text to myself and saw the same thing happen. Then a minute or so later, my test text arrives. When I press on the notification for it, the text messaging window opens up like it's supposed to but there's no text!
To make the situation even more weirder, when I try to go online using either data or wifi, I get a "server not found" error. This happened on Firefox and Chrome.
I tested the phone with a different screen and the issues were still there.
I changed text messaging apps from the stock app to Textra and the same thing happened with the texts. And like before, they came through. When it did, I shut off the phone and restarted it to see if the network would still see the text as being unread, etc. and right after bootup, I get the notification of my test text. When I open the stock text app to see it, I see nothing but the same texts described earlier.
This is weird. Any suggestions?
Is the sim card good? Is it seated properly?
Examine closely for more damage especially the mobo.
Clear system cache if that fails, try a factory reset.
No joy? Try reflashing the firmware.
You may have damaged the mobo...
I appreciate the suggestions and was just about to start what you recommended this morning blackhawk when I noticed the date and time were way off. It was reading 8:04pm, June 7, 2021. I turned on the automatic date/time setting and everything went back to normal. I was able to access the internet, got gmail notifications, and was able to send texts. Somehow, the drop knocked the date and time off. I'll play around with it today and make sure everything works as it should.
