iGuidance seems to be super slow when doing anything, even pulling up menus. Just extremely unresponsive. I tried this with and without an active GPS connection, with and without GPSGate and Astro's launcher running and nothing seems to change.
Is this a common issue with this phone or the ROM? I'm running dcd 2.2.0
did you redirect gps to COM2 port. makesure u have green 'G' logo on today screen. i had same problem.
It's taking data from GPSGate no problem, even routing but it seriously takes forever. Just to click a menu button takes a good 4 seconds to get to the next screen.
This is on a fresh dcd 2.2.0 flash, so it's not a bloated system. I'll try dcd 2.2.6 or another ROM and report back if it helps.
This was a side effect of 2.2.0, 2.3.1 is fine

For thoughs who have had problems with tomtom freezing up a few times at the beginning.
i was messing about with tomtom 6 and always had that dreaded freeze at the beginning. I usually keep my bluetooth off (as tomtom usually activates it)and on this occasion i decided to keep it on before activating the tomtom program and didnt even see any freezes. I hope that helps some people. I only thought of this cause as noticed during the freezes the bluetooth flashey light didnt come on and only come on after program was running fine.
If someone has worked it out before me sorry for repeating it but didnt see it when i was searching the forums.

I've been fixing this by pressing ok button when it freezes up and switch back to TT via taskmanager to continue working
I've always 'fixed' this by turning the power off and back on again, that sorts it 95% of the time. I do the same with the bluetooth though, never have it on, so woudl try that, except the lock-ups have gone on WM6.
yeah i know about the green or red dial button. but i noticed i dont need to do that if the program starts up fine and works most of the time.
This problem is present in new Rom with aku 3.3.1?
And in wm 6?

Hi there,
I have been using Styletap for a while and everything was fine, the Styletap Launcher and the applications i used were really fast. But all of a sudden the Styletap Launcher started taking a long time to load, by long time I mean around 20 seconds to load, so as you can imagine, it really becomes unusable.
The initial screen appears as fas as always, the problem is that I can not select any of my programs for around that period of time. I noticed the battery indicator in the palm environment appears for less than a second and then it dissapears, as long as the battery indicator is not there, I can not select anything. When it appears again, I am able to begin working in the Palm OS environment. I have tried unchecking the "battery" indicator in the preferences screen but the problem remains.
If I use any application icon directly, I get a blank screen for about the same 20 seconds and after that I get my Palm Os application on the TP.
I thought about the amount of free memory and started moving my applications to the SD memory (microSD). I am running with 47.5MB of free storage memory and 55.55MB of free program memory. Sound like enought to me but the problem remains, I made a soft reset after that but nothing happens.
Any clues that might help me?
Regards,
Looks like nobody else had this problem... just in case someone comes here from Google. My problem disappeared after flashing my Treo Pro to 6.5, do not know why but in stock 6.1 ROM Styletap and Garmin XT sometimes took longer than a minute to start!
Just update your ROM and you are done!
Just wondering if anyone else out there has similar problems with the occasional Freeze on there HD2. Mine occurs maybe once every few days.
I am running Xanny's Evolution 1.4 but have had the problem with other roms.
Radio 2.0.8 with 576mb hack
Seems to be when I am coming out of file explorer (Other Apps as well) into the Sense Homescreen I get the freeze. Symptons
Title bar still shows previous app (eg, File Explorer)
Screen otherwise is 100% sense.
5% clock time change (Eg just starting)
Weather animation just starting.
I only have installed
DST Time Patch (Live in West Australia)
Core Player 1.3.6
TomTom
File Explorer Ext
Phone Log.
Radio still seems to be working. Eg pressing a button will light up buttons and they turn off after x seconds.
Ringing the phone doesn't send it to message bank. It just rings out. My phone does nothing to indicate incoming call.
First test was to flash a factory rom first (1.4.3). Froze about a day latter.
I then performed an MTTY. Again froze about 2 days latter.
Current test I have disabled weather animation. Has not crashed since. Been 5 days.
My HD2 freezes to, running LynxEX 1.3 WWE, radio 2.08.50. I installed the
Rom in 01.03.2010, everything was OK for a few days until yesterday when it started to froze more and more often.
Radio is working but I can not answer because the screen and buttons are not responding.
I am still going with out a freeze. Disabled weather animation and seems good. Will leave it another week.
Due to it seeming to be caused when redrawing the Sense homepage and multiple animations I took a punt.
When does yours freeze?
Welcome to windows mobile!
Its a common thing, no need to worry.
If you have apps installed on your SD card then try to end them normally i.e. from the app itself, if you use a task manager to kill it it may leave corrupted files on the SD card which may also freeze the phone.
Waiting for Android.........................
Mine never freezes!
Mine hangs 40% of the time after unlocking the screen.....
Official 1.66 ROM UK
It happends when I try to do something fast, after I unlock the screen, or use coreplayer. So i uninstaled coreplayer, until now it works !!! ???
Now i miss coreplayer and would try to skip the automat screen locker.
I am a long time Win mobile users.
Gone from Polaris, HD and now HD2
This freeze is quite specific. Just on the homepage.
Anyway, Its been a week now and still no freezes. Looks like it was a combination of multiple animations causing a conflict.
I get various other cases of it slowly grinding to a halt then responding very very slowly. Eg 30 secs for an unlock. Usually core player.
Also, no need to install to SD card. Heaps of room on internal.
It seemed to freeze when coming out of File Explorer. Might have been an issue introduced with the File Explorer Extension addon??
Mine freezes from time to time, but always on screen lock.
lock is unresponsive, do a reset (battery removal)
then sense only responds to the left portion of the screen, several resets later it will come back to normal.
anyone else seen this ?
Freeze
Mine also would freeze every once in awhile? I turned off weather for other cities, has not froze for, this is 3rd day? Wierd?
I've noticed a few 'freezes' on the 'unlock' screen as well. I think it has to do with the phone searching for a network; when it locks it was switching from
3G to H or to G.
Just to register another user with freeze issues. 1.66 Stock WWE Rom with whichever radio is bundled with it.
I haven't had an issue in the 4-5 weeks I've had the phone until I decided to give Twitter a go using the HTC Peep application. I then got 3 or 4 freezes in 24 hours. Uninstalled Peep from the Sense slide tabs and later on that day installed moTweets, again keeping it memory resident and automatically checking for tweets once an hour. It froze again last night.
Now I'm (fully) closing moTweets every time I've finished with it, and so far no freezes. It's only been 14-15 hours but we'll see.
Zef.
I keep getting problems myself on my TMOUS. The phone has frozen over 6 times in the past 2 days I've owned it. Its quite annoying. Everything is stock. No custom roms or anything. I've reset it to factory settings 3 times.
Might have tracked it down
Mine seems it may be related to File Explorer.
Coming out of or exiting file explorer. Also crashes if fire explorer is running and plug a usb cable in.
Running file explorer extensions. Might be the cause.
Mine started freezing for no apparent reason a few days ago.
Using a custom rom for months with no problems then all of a sudden freezes.
Tried some different roms and they all seem to do it now.
Only way is a hard reset for me, soft reset it freezes too.
Personally I'm thinking its a hardware fault seeing how it was a sudden occurance and doesnt matter which rom image is on there.
Unless its a radio problem, not tried changing that yet.
Was it while doing a certain thing?
Start taking note of what you were just doing then post. IT might help shed some light.
Mine was getting to twice a day. I then noted what was installed and changed my behaviour. And it started crashing less.
Also change the SD card. Noted a thread where the SD card is related to strange behaviour. Make sure the temp one gets a full format.
Best idea is to run your phone as minimally as possible (Software and app's for as long as possible. Slowly introduce behaviour and applications and note when it starts to become unstable.
Okay happened about 5 times today, each time it was while trying to recieve or make a call.
Text messaging is fine, internet sharing is fine, only while making calls
radio 2.06.51.07 i actually thought i had put 2.08 on a while back so going to change to 2.07 or 2.08 and see if that works.
updated to radio 2.07 and reflashed energy rom. dont hold out much luck.
seems to get stuck still on soft reset. so has to be hard reset everytime
oh and thats with no apps loaded
lets disable the whole phone... and cross ur fingers for someone out there who can save this phone from windows... period.. stop saying i disable this and it works better now. disable that and seems pretty good now, BS. u know is BS.. have all those problems.. i still dont understand how people still buying HD2!!!! omg... .

lol.... whateva.
This has just happened recently, and was never an issue, but for some reason, every time now that I exit Igo on my Touch Pro 2, the top info of the phone (time, signal strength, battery level) is replaced by part of the igo login/logoff screen...If I try and do anything that requires 2-3 steps, phone freezes to the point of not even being able to shut it off. I have soft resetted, hard resetted, cleared all info. from the "saved" folder, and still the same issue...

Hi there, have you found a solution to this? I was using igo8 without problems for almost a year and now when press exit, the phone freezes.

do you use ark switch task manager ? i found out that if you exit ark switch first and then trun on your igo8 you won't have any issue on exiting igo8. i had the same problem with igo primo and exiting ark switch before running igo primo somehow fixed it.
you can give it a try.
I have a custom rom on my tilt2 - Illuminati and as a matter of fact it comes with ark switch cooked in. However, i like MMTaskManager more so I removed its autostart feature. I felt that something has to do with using a custom ROM coz before when i was on stock rom Primo was running like a clock. Btw, I miswrote above. My iGo 8 installation worked and works without any problem. It is iGo Primo that I cannot exit properly.
Actually I sometimes have the same problem with iGO8 and so does my wife. I have a Touch Diamond 2 and she has a Touch Pro 2. Neither of us have ark switch...
First of all, sorry if this thread is out of place, but I'm not sure where else to turn.
My HD2 worked terrifically with FroyoStone 3.2, Hastarin 7.6 up until last Wednesday (5 days) ago. Then I started to experience, and have not been able to fix, serious TS lag issues.
Symptoms: I hit the unlock button, swipe to unlock, and the touchscreen will be responsive if I KEEP using it...if I pause for up to 3 seconds, the screen is no longer responsive. I have to relock the phone, unlock, and then swipe again to get it to work.
The touchscreen works perfectly fine in Windows Mobile 6.5. (Energy 2361X)
Attempts to fix: I've formatted the SD Card inbetween trying all of the following items-
1) Switch to MDJ ROM with MDJ kernel
2) Switch to Bluetopia ROM (0.5, 0.6 & 0.6.1) with Hastarin 8.0 OR 8.1
3) Switch back to FroyoStone 3.2 with kernel that comes with it
4) Update Radio ROM
5) Update to new Energy WinMo ROM -- after running Task 29 first.
Today, I purchased a new SD Card, loaded it with a clean install of Android, still have issues.
Also tried:
1) Turning off all LED notifications
2) Disabling Auto brightness in WinMo and Android
3) Disabled Screen Auto-Rotate
Honestly, I'm all out of ideas, and I hope someone in the community has a way to help out. I find it so odd that the touchscreen works great right after a "wake-up" as long as I keep it constantly stimulated...then fails to respond if I let it sit for more than three seconds. Is this a polling issue?
All ideas are appreciated. Thank you
UPDATE:
Followed another thread that suggests using the exact same WinMo ROM as the Builder -- matched my ROM with cmylxgo's WinMo ROM (author of Bluetopia) after another Task 29...no fix.
More Information
UPDATE 2:
Also tried 32K clusters and 64K clusters when formatting the card. Problem exists with either size.
There are G-Scripts to disable the G-Sensor and then re-enable it without rebooting.
If you want to jump to the extreme and want to remove all the sensors entirely.
Code:
su
rm -rf /system/lib/hw/*.sensors.so
Terminal
Thanks for your quick reply.
Unfortunately, I'm not the best with working with Linux/Terminal commands -- I tried typing in your code, and it returned that there was no such file/folder as -rf, and then I removed that section, and it said that it could not find the system/...
So obviously, there's something I'm missing, or an error in the syntax, that I cannot debug.
Any help is appreciated.
Are you having any data freezes or are you on an area with poor to no signal? I get really bad system lag when I loose signal while my phone is trying to download. Ppp will freeze and the phone will be unresponsive till reboot. Only way I avoid this is to turn off data if I got into a building I know I will loose connection in.

Updates
Thank you for your reply --
I checked into the disconnects being an issue by enabling Airplane Mode and seeing if I still had the same results, and unfortunately I do. I tried by disabling the Wifi and Mobile network separately, and still same issues.
But, here's an update on the issues:
Installed TYTUNG's NexusHD2-FRG83 V1.6, and this thing is very, very lightweight. Great battery life, great data (went to sleep, woke up, and not only was my phone still on...but I didn't have to reset data to check email...nice). The issues still remain. These are the newest things I've tried:
1) Remove Boxwave screen protector
2) Run from Airplane Mode.
I did however notice something really, really important: when the screen freezes, if I simulate a multi-touch gesture (pinch to zoom, etc), sometimes it wakes up! This is not a guaranteed thing (like 60%), but definitely something to work with.
Also, I noticed that one time that the touchscreen stopped responding, I tried the multitouch, no help...but I stayed on it. Multitouch tapped like crazy for a solid 6 seconds...then tried to shut the screen off -- and that button didn't respond. It was as if I saturated some bus of some sort that it had to clear out before it could finally shut the screen off.
Finally, I've noticed that the screen just needs to shut off for the touchscreen to unfreeze -- not go into a full lock situation. So, if the screen goes black, and I hit the lock key immediately, it'll unfreeze the TS.
Thanks to everyone who is trying to think of an idea!
i seem to be having the same issues as you right after i wake the phone up to unlock it. locking the phone is a habit for me to try and save as much battery as possible and also to not press any buttons while in my pocket.
im running a cyanogen rom and i changed the setting to allow me to unlock the phone by pressing the center windows key. i noticed that when the phone will not allow me to unlock it i can press the menu key and unlock it but i cannot use the touchscreen at all until i relock and unlock.
sometimes i have to do this a few times before the touchscreen comes back. i was thinking it could be my sd card but this started to happen today. i have been using android on my hd2 daily for the past 12 days without any problems. its weird that it started all of a sudden.
so it seems we still dont have a fix for the touchscreen freeze yet, right ?
Same problem here
Hi, I am experiencing the same problem.
Tried few versions of Android, The same problem repeated itself.
So I had to return to WM6.5 - there it works good. Only I have to reset the phone twice a day :-(
Hope someone will find brilliant solution for the sad problem that prevents using Android...
