I updated to rom 3.35.651.2 (official rom) about a month ago. I added all my warez and tweeks. Everything was working awesome until about 5 days ago. Now it's all FOOBAR.
I have to soft reset my phone several times a day (more than 5) just to make it usable. Else it just stalls and the screen shows bits of different things thats going on.
For example, on the home screen, i try to open a txt msg, and it shows the body of the txt msg, but the top and bottom bars of the home screen. That's it. It lags so bad only a soft reset will correct it.
I'm not sure what's going on but i read a while back others were having similar issues with the update. Did we figure out if that was a bug or is it just a few unlucky people?
I run memaid to clean it up and it still doesn't help. I was using spb back up but that doesn't work on this rom either, it just hangs although it appears to create a file, and the file is then unusable (the backup).
What are your thoughts?
Just so you have a better idea of how bad it is, i just made a call using one of the spb phone suits. It's the picture calling deal. I click on the tab to show the pictures, i click on the picture and the phone dials and the call goes through.
The problem is that unlike it did before, i can't even pull up the call status screen, which would normally come up on its own. During the call, i can't even switch to it, it's stuck on the home screen.
The call ends, and all you can see is the same thing since the call started, the selected contact highlighted. And it's stuck there!
Any ideas?
thanks
Flash a DCD titan [6.1] rom.
Dunno what you did, but it seems to be the installation [update of registry] that causes the phone to become so damn slow. Custom roms are lean and mean.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of doing but i'm a noob with the custom roms. I read up on them when I updated to the latest official rom, but i was confused
I guess i'll have to try to figure it out again.
Thanks for the reply.

Anyone run into the phone not answering the call when you hit the answer button or wnaswer on screen? Any fixes or ideas?
yep... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370483
Tried to get started with narrowing down which app causes it but the thread fizzled. I ended up flashing to a newer DCD release and then only installed the bare bones apps I needed to get by and it's working fine so far.
Me too

I have been having the similar problems. I can answer if I hold the button down a really long time or hold the slide at the end until the screen changes to the phone app. Usually I get a missed call though. I initially thought it may have been S2U2 or S2UP but after using and uninstalling both no resolution. I got no fixes or ideas as of yet, just uninstalling apps and seeing how it responds. On a positive note taking off all these apps has increased my standby memory considerably
So what you guys are saying is that out of nowhere your phones won't answer a call?
Or did you like flash a ROM and then wasn't able to pick up a call?
One thing that helped me was to change all ringtones to WMA on DCD's ROM's because MP3's dont seem to play all the time for a weird reason.
Also I changed the settings on my phone. In the the EPST I changed a setting in the Modem menu. I changed the Slot Cycle Index to "0" instead of "2" and it answers the calls faster.
These are just some ideas as I really dont know what issues you are having.
I just posted a long winded update to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370483
Ultimate fix for me (experiencing non-answerable calls) was a hard reset. I'm blaming the AdvancedConfig tool or some setting it exposed to me to tweak.
i've had the same thing happen in the past so i would be interested if this gets figured out. i never figured out what it was, but since I back up nightly w/ sprite backup, i just restored the most recent registry backup and it took care of the problem both times it happened.
same happened to me - i couldnt answer a single call and had to call back whoever rang me up.
REALLY annoying.
i repaired it very easily, however.
i um...accidentally.. dropped my phone off a roof and the new one answers calls very well!
this also solved all the other problems i had with my earlier phone.
go figure!
I am having the same problem...hit the green talk button or the answer button and nothing happens. I have to call everyone back...so what I am hearing is that it is the advance config program that is causing it and a hard reset is the only option to fix it?
that appears to be the case - at least in my experience.
Hey yesterday i noticed a major issue. I was sending quite a few texts and in turn receiving quite a lot back. However after receiving about the 1st four messages they no longer began show up and my tone didn't go off. The only reason i noticed that something wasn't right is because the screen lit up and when i went to inbox there sure enough was an unread message- even though the screen never displayed a new message!!!
Today I'm still experiencing the problem...along with an obviously related issue. Ocassionally when i click on messaging it simply won't open and i find myself soft resetting the phone or turning it off and back on.
Obviously this is a major problem for me!...Please help me! Everything else is fine!
Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/
bump!
i got the EXACT same problem, it is so annoying..
it shows no number of unread messages at the enveloppe on the today screen, however when you go in the message boxes there clearly are some unread messages, both e-mails and text messages..
is there ANY way to fix this? it's so incredibily annoying!
Have any of you tried removing some old messages?
I know I had some trouble with messages opening slow, but when I deleted a bunch of messages (and emptied the "deleted" folder), it worked great.
tried that just now with no luck, works on no other panel either..
I deleted my messages too and also uninstalled xperiatweak as ive heard this can cause problems...i havent yet had a chance to check the progress but as for the messaging tab opening up i dont seem to get that issue anymore *touch wood*. I
have noticed however that i get the occassional overload of device.exe errors and i mean overload...once one pops up about at least another 5 do! Even if i press send report or don't send report...it happens. I end up pressing the panel key :/ There are some definate bugs that need sorting.
Actually still no luck with xperiatweak gone...i got quite a series of device.exe errors and then after they'd gone i went to click on messaging and once again nothing happened...nor would contacts show! i think i may need to hard reset the phone!
megh i'd hate having to do a hardreset, don't want to lose my installed appz and having to install plus configure them again >_<
ive just done a hard reset...which i agree is a pain! But wow i forgot how fast the xperia is...i think im going to keep which apps i install to minimum and only install what i need. Obviously the error has been picked up from somewhere... What apps did you previously install? Maybe we have something in common?
torch button, mplaylist manager, neoFTP, pocket scrobbler, remote touch, skype, total commander, xchange r8, youtube panel, google panel, windows live panel... oh yea and tomtom7..
probably some stuff i left out due to them already being uninstalled.. maybe they left some traces in register i dunno..
pardon my french but f*ck this, i just did a hard reset too, will install the english rom too.. stupid dutch windows mobile.. (i know it's not the languages fault but it's an ugly language )
After hard reset...it has just happened again. I then thought it might be vistahide battery as come to think of it it didnt happen before that...been sending testers after getting rid of vistahide and everythin else ok. But i only have the new panels installed...no other add-ons now! So god knows!
Still experiencing this problem from time to time...very annoying! Hard resetted twice and no luck as such. It really is very annoying as i often miss messages if i don't see the screen wake-up Please...anyone know a solution or have this issue? Thanks
Bump .
Anyone?....
"zoelucker
Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/"
noticed it happens whenever my mobile got a full bar 3G receptions... what about you guys?
Yes ive noticed a random wake-up and ive thought 'oh that must be another message with no sound grrr' then i look in messaging and no message...so wasn't that and was jus a random wake-up.
It is really starting to irritate me now and today my alarm didn't sound when it's been fine since i've got it! I wondered if the problem was connected? Do you think the new update (well not officially released yet)...the new rom or whatever would solve the problem? Please any light on this...the messaging one is my main problem because I can just set another alarm clock but for messaging...its what a phone should be able to do. Thanks.
Seems like there are few people who are experiencing this problem.
I have the same problem as you all are. I've tried emptying the message but no luck.
If hardresetting doesnt work, then the problem doesnt related to any kind of software we installed?
yea i hard reset twice so i know it doesnt
Its driving me mad now! Its the only issue i have with it and its a real shame because i love my X1 otherwise. Do you think the new FW will solve my problem?
I was receiving messages fine 20 mins ago and then 5 mins ago i got a random screen wake-up but thought it was a message that hadn't come through properly so i tried to go into messaging but it wouldn't open up....i tried everything. clicked it so many times. changed panels. nothing. in the end i had to soft reset the phone :S
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
same problem
all the same..

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.
every time i go to make a call, the on screen pad locks up. it doesnt matter if i type a number in, select from the contsct list or use the recent call log, they all lock up as soon as i press the talk button on the screen. tried with the hardware button but he same thing happens, the whole phone locks up and i have to reset it. after several resets is might work, or im presented with the 4 coloured blobs that rotate. sometimes i have to wait 20-30 seconds or anything to happen and it might dial, or sometimes ive waited 5 minutes for it to start dialing. im using generic HTC rom 1.66, on an unlocked handset (factory unlocked) on t-mobile UK. ive tried reflashing the phone and it resolves it for maybe a week, then the problems start again. this is now my 9th re-flash!!
still have this issue, although its a lot better since upgrading the radio to 2.11 and using CleanEX DsE v15 ROM. interestingly, if i delete all my text messages, the problem goes away!
when you bring up the dialpad, or open it by clicking a contact, it loads the call history and message history and what not into the offscreen pages. maybe its that taking time to load,, are you one of the "save all 6000 texts" and make 100 calls a day type users? that would explain why hard reset cures it for a while.
i am a heavy txt user, and what with the misses beiing on t-mobile, i call her a lot (its free for me to call her). i have now started archiving my messages on myphone, i think part of the issue was i would delete the messages, then myphone would download them all again. issue seems a lot better, but i still think with a 1ghz processor, i should be able to store my messages on the phone without it locking up
Every once in a while for the past month or two, when I receive a call, my X10 will vibrate and ring as normal, but the screen will be blank rather than presenting the caller ID and call answer buttons. Sometimes when this happens, it'll eventually show up, while other times I simply get a FC message regarding the phone app.
In the time since I first experienced this, I have upgraded my stock 014 firmware to 016 through SEUS via Rogers, and then this past weekend I rooted the phone to R2BA023, and yet it still happens.
I have disabled both Facebook and Twitter sync in the settings panel, and have tried changing my ringtone all to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced something similar, and maybe know what may be causing this?
I'm going to attempt some testing with various 3rd-party apps uninstalled, to see if it may be some sort of conflict, but I find it odd this has persisted through firmware updates and complete OS re-install (root).
Hi - Yes I've had this happen too.. not very often, but seems to be when I'm in the middle of doing something else.. Think it was when I was in Handscent SMS when it happened today.
Same it happen to me, i just beat on it until it blink up the damn slide. Which 9 out of 10, i will miss the call thanks to the stupid slide still being as slow as before the update.
OT (so apologies)... my swipe is super fast since the update... Are you running any task killers or anything.. (I'm not...)..

I generally do, but it still pisses me off. I have a feeling it's just SE's version of the phone app, but I can't be sure.
I'm using Phonebook 2.0 as an alternate contact manager, but calls still come through the default phone app, and I'm not sure if there's a way to change that without a custom ROM.

Yeah have noticed this issue sometimes. I am on generic R2BA020 uk firmware.
When the phone rings, the screen lights up but I cant answer cause the screen is a Blank blue screen for like 5-8 seconds. After which the slider pops up allowing me to answer. Never had this problem on the older firmware.
I dont use a task killer or handcent.
