I came to check SMS and suddenly saw the device is off, tried to turn it on but the on/off button didn't work.
I removed the battery and put it back again, and only then the power button worked and the device booted.
Do you think it was a problem of the battery not touching right ?, but if so, how could it be that this didn't happen before, I didn't touch the battery for a week now...
I have this problem as well. It happens twice to me. These happened to me also if I install certain program. I don't have this problem if that program not present. I am testing it more before I "share" the program name.
kkchan, maybe you should tell me the program's name, so I could tell you if I have it installed too...
Hi,
The program is used to rotate screen.
I don't have such a program installed...
Man I hope it's not hardware related, I simply can't accept hardware instabilty...
I had similar symptoms after installing SRS WOW HD.

I have not had that problem on my HD yet....

I have encountered an unusual issue (bug?) on the HD and wondered if anyone else had seen the problem (and found a solution!)
First the issue:
When I rotate the device to landscape, applications initially rotate properly. However, after a few seconds the phone dialer screen appears (in landscape mode). It blinks once or twice (like the screen is redrawing) and stays there for perhaps five seconds before switiching back to the original app. However, even though the device is still held i landscape, the application is now in portrait mode too and the only way to get it back to landscape is to rotate the device back to portrait then to landscape again...at which point the whole cycle repeats.
Things I have tried to clear the problem:
So far, all I have tried is a soft reset, which I thought had cleared the problem at first. Sadly, however, it's back.
Repeatability and conditions:
I've only done one soft reset so far as I wanted to investigate a bit further first
It initially happened in Opera with GSen off (it is installed though)
It happens whether or not GSen is active
It happens in all applications, not just Opera (obviously GSen is active when it happens in other applications)
I don't have a HD (yet) but i've read somewhere that GSEN is not working correctly on the HD. There is suppused to be a tool called "Gyrator2" which does the same but is more stable on the HD.

May be an option, but I haven't had any problems with GSen and I seem to get the issue whether or not GSen is active. I have even had it in an instance where GSen had not been activated since the previous reboot.
Thanks for the thought though, I'll investigate...
please don't use GSen since it's heavily bugged atm for the HD.. Gyrator2 is an option even though consumes a lot of cpu power (device become slow whenever Gyrator2 rotates the screen)

Will the problem go away if you uninstall GSEN? I mean, not just making it inactive, but to completely remove it.

Annoyingly enough (in one way) I've not had the issue since I soft reset a few hours ago. I'm keeping a close eye to see if i can trap what I have been doing just before the issue recurs.
I have suspicions about PCM Contacts but have no good reason to, other than the fact the problem started at roughtly the same time as I installed the latest version.
Next step is to try removing GSen, as you suggest, but I want the issue to recur first to see if I can make some sense of what's happening...
The problem isn't with Gsen.
This happened to me while browsing, it just kept flicking back to portrait and then coming out of Opera.
As a result I thought I'd install Gsen and everything worked perfectly for about an hour. I left the phone (locked) for a while to attend to a few other things and then it started again.
Now I've not had the phone long 10 days or so but I have installed a lot of cabs and applications. At first I thought it might be a bug on the HD but unfortunately it could be anything.
What I will say is that I didn't have this problem before I added new tab icons (manilla), installed Schaps AC or changed the calc skin. Gsen was next on my list.
A soft reset seemed to work for me.
Hope this helps.

Switching the phone on and off seems to clear the problem for a while. Anyone solved this?
My solution
Just wanted to say that i had this exact problem.
Fugured it had to be a problem with som custom stuff i had installed, and so it was.
Started uninstalling backwards from the last installed thing, and found that the problem was caoused by a custom status icon cab I installed.
Named Colored Top Bar WWE ST.cab
If you have something similar, this could be the problem.
(BTW, I'm not bashing the author of this file at all. Everyone should know that installling custom stuff is your own responsibility)

i cannot conclusively say if it's a problem with GSEN or not. but i had the exact same problem with GSEN installed, but not activated. i couldn't solve the problem so i did a hard reset (i didn't bother uninstalling gsen and try it again). i don't have problems anymore, but i do have all my old applications installed, except for GSEN. i currently do not have gyrator or any other screen rotating app installed. i don't have a need for them at the moment. so i don't conclude anything, you can deduce from here.

I have the same Top Bar and don't have the issue you guys have been describing.
my problem is kinda similar but a little different, my opera works fine w/ landscape and portrait, but when I try to access My Faviorite in landscape mode, it would only display in portrait even though I was holding it landscape and the second half of the screen was still the page content. it's weird and I still didn't got time to do a hard reset first, any one experience this?
I have this issue (damnit), and I am using those color-top-bar-icons. However, I have never been using GSen, I am using gyrator 2. Can anybody confirm that it is top-bar-icons that's causing the problem?
I have the issue and I don't have the top bar colored icons installed.
I do have Gyrator 2 but the problem still occurs when Gyrator 2 is not running.
I don't know why it occurs and it goes away by itself...seems sporadic.
I got Gyrator2 on mine too, but I don't see people in Gyrator thread complaining about this happening...um...do I really need a hard reset for this?
(by the way, I disable all rotation and only enable the programs I used, of course Opera is disabled)
update from mine, I just did a hard reset the the landscape favorite in Opera still got messed up, so I restored my device and gave up. gotta wait for new official ROM maybe...
since yesterday my device turns the display off when i dont make an input for 2 or 3 seconds. this sucks massive, cause i have to press the button on top to reactivate the screen.
this happens only if not connected to a power plug. i found there some settings in "energy options" but the setting there ist alread to 10 mins!!
what could that be? i cant remember changing any settings
yesterday. help
update: weird thing. its not even the display. somehow also the device. coreplayer stops playing too. tomtom and phonecalls are working normal.
Same Problem here
Hi,
i have the same Problem ... since i flashed yesterday with "Davideuck_V-5 WWE".
I also installed the Diamond ATI D3D Driver for better grafix.
I've installed "Pocket Shield" which locks the Screen after being in Standby.
But ... when i press the Power Button just after the Screen went off, it turn on again with the last App running and not with locked Screen.
Very confusing.
Did you install any Driver or Tools?
no, nothing, i made no changes in the last weeks, i happend just out of the blue.
Now I made a hard reset. problem solved. but i have to install all apps again
with the Problem is solved for a while (and then appears again) after a Softreset.
But if You have to install all Apps again ... here's a little Tip:
SASHIMI => http://www.winmo-experts.com/index.php
There are also Threads here in XDA just search for "SASHIMI"
Also on Youtube => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANgzCqrcjHw
Just give it a try (if you don't allready know this Beatifull Tool )
Anyway => GOOD LUCK
Hello
My HD2 Worked well for a long time, but now everytime I press the "sleep" key it turns off for half a second then turns back on and proudly displays the lockscreen without me pressing anything. There is no way to turn the screen off and go in standby mode anymore.
Obviously the battery drains so much faster from not being able to have the screen off and this silly problem actually makes the phone unusable
I flashed a few roms using HardSPL and now HSPL2. I'm currently running Artemis 11.0, the problem appeared may days after flashing while using Artemis ROM 9.0. A hard reset seemed to fix it but the problem reappeared. Today flashing 11.0 only solved the problem at first boot.
Anyone had that before? Not sure if it's software/rom related or not anymore. HELP
As far as Ive seen, its only you an me who have had this problem so far.
Honestly, Im relieved to see someone else with this problem.
I had exactly as you described, but using Axlor roms.
It worked fine for 1/2months, then all of a suddon the screen backlight wouldnt go off, but a reset fixed it.
But it got worse and worse.
Now nothing will work...
Ive taken everything back to stock, and i mean EVERYTHING! Not a single app installed.
And I still have this problem. I've tried it all.
I think its a warrenty job....
EDIT:
I also noticed the backlight will go off fine when the phone is charging, is that the same for you?
I just sent the phone off to Tmob today, to see if they can fix/replace it.
I'll keep you informed.
Same problem. Was running fine on stock ROM 1.66 then backlight did not dim and would not go into standby. Put into standby, screen goes off then straight back on to the lock screen. Since then have had other problems at boot, sometimes it locks on HTC white screen needing battery removal, sometimes launches straight into Navipanel and will not exit, HTC sense homescreen sometimes launches in landscape and will not go into normal portrait mode. Reflashed with different ROM's same symptoms persist so have returned to Vodafone UK under warranty, fingers crossed.
i've had this on early versions of the rom i use, the chef fixed it, making me think its the software, not your phone.
I experienced this issue when I minimised a game called virtual pool. Closing it in task manager would then allow me to permanently make the phone sleep.

How come Ive still got the problem after reflashing several times and taking everything back to exactly as it came from the box?

I too have had the navi panel problem.
Im praying they fix mine under warrenty
Yes the problem is exactly what you describe, hard reset and flashing to a stock rom doesn t fix it with no programm running in the background
Navipanel seems to be on randomly sometimes so can I guess it could be related.
I found a fix, after starting the phone, plugging and unplugging the usb cable to the phone WHILE THE SCREEN IS ON fixes it but only until the next restart
Considering sending it for warranty now.
Thanks for replies! If anybody knows more let us know
Update re standby problem
Got my phone back from Vodafone UK today. Was advised software corrupted and that they had reflashed and it had been fully tested and was now working fine.
On power up (even without SD card or SIM) it had exactly the same fault as before, when put into sleep mode the screen comes back on after about 1 second.
I tried the plug in and remove USB lead fix and this also works for me until the next restart so it would seem that this must be a hardware problem.

What other options do with have if they sent it back without fixing it?

did any of you guys try performing a task 29 in between flashing roms? it may help

Thanks for this workaround. Now with the urgency gone hopefully somebody finds a lasting solution without the need of sending it in..
I have same problem guys after 4 months using. ...and my HD2 is unusable with no standby. I mean battery gets weak during 2-3 hours. Whats your guess guys is it software problem. Cause Im afraid of this is hardware prob because after reset goes my device in wrong state.
Help!
Sadly I'm running into this same error with my t-mobile hd2....getting serious power drain...can anyone confirm if the task 29 helped at all? Mine won't stay off for more than 30 seconds.
** Found out the google easy sms beta app I was running had a service which was causing the app to come out of standby...uninstalling this app cured the problem.
For me, it was a sd slot problem. When i removed the sd card, phone always waked up after 0.5 seconds, and card was detected as bad.
Now the SD slot was changed (under guarranty) and it work fine, no wake up if sd slot is empty.
Any update on this? My HD2 starting doing this today as well
And I have no usb cable at work to 'trick' it. The only option is to pull the battery which I don't want to do. This is ridiculous. Am I going to have to hard-reset the damn thing to fix it?
FYI I didn't do *ANYTHING* to my phone in a couple of weeks (no new apps, etc.) and it started doing this out of the blue.
You hit the red 'end call' button and it goes black..then comes right back on.
The odd thing is it *thinks* its plugged in because the only screen setting I can get it to acknoweldge is the 'backlight level when charging'. So somehow my phone thinks its plugged in even though my only usb cable is back home.
Grrr. No registry tweaks or temp files I can delete to reset this behavior?
I find that my Minis' on/off button is unresponsive occasionally and I was wondering if anyone else felt theres was also?
Ive only had this issue when the phones locked and I bring it in and out of showing me my status. It appears the bottom icons have to light up before it will react to my press of the on/off button again.
Same for me ! Sometime I need to remove battery to restart using my HD MINI ...
Any solution ?
hi there
i think i have bad news!!!
my phone is Unresponsive sometime and some time turn display on show me you want turn off divece???

I have the same problem, sometimes, the button is not responsive. There should be a solution for it. Someone has to report to htc.
I have the same problem, i think that it is caused by either to many running applications or by a application that hangs.
for the most i just have to wait a minute or two and then it works again.
Last time i connected the charger, it also worked and i have also tried to call the phone from another phone. it also worked.

yes... I think it's because of many programs... I have this when I'm doing something and I push the button fast to turn of the screen and suddenly remember I forgot something and push it again to turn on... I think It's normal!!
sometimes it's anything but normal, but i found a soft reset (or hard reset for that matter) often is the solution. So it's most likely an application or process that hangs, leaving it for a few minutes and then trying to unlock it usually does the trick
Well first of all I love Android, but I have some problems. The first problem I have is the G-Sensor, it used to work, but suddenly it stopped working properly. Now when I want to rotate the screen I have to hold it the way I want it to turn for 20 seconds, is there a solution to this problem?
Now my second and most important problem is calling. I have multiple problems with it. One of them is when I'm being called while the phone is in lockscreen I try answering it but I have to wait ten seconds before it actually answers, mostly the caller is already connected to my voicemail. My second problem is the End Call button when is press it, it says ended but I also have to wait ten seconds before it actually ends the call. Does anyone have the solution to these problems?
For further information, I use Froyostone 3.2. And sorry for my poor English.
Could anyone please help me, sorry for the bump?
Also I notice that my hardware buttons light up randomly.
I also have the same problem. Well at least with the g sensor. Running android 2.2 the problem with my g senor is whenever I flip messages they will not flip back. (along with anything else that does flip) I've done the re-calibration on the phone and this is what happens.. x axis is fine y axis either stays all the way up or goes all the way down. When I start the calibration the y and x axis both go to the middle but after when calibration is done the y axis goes right back up or right back down.
Thanks in advance if any one can help.
The same thing happens to me when I'm trying to calibrate it. Also have you tried holding your device for 10-20 seconds the way you want to turn it? This solves the problem for me, but I would like it to happen a little faster.
I calibrated the G-sensor when I first put on Android, bad mistake, the Bubble just stayed at the top and nothing rotated properly. The Sensor worked fine in WinMo so I guessed I'd screwed it up.
Since read somewhere on here that you shouldn't Calibrate it in Android.
Had to reinstall Android fresh to get it to work again, but its been working fine since.
Was on froyostone 3.1, when I reinstated upgraded to 3.2, all is great
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Okay that could be the solution. Do you also know if I need to put a new data image on it. I would like to keep my old one, but I thinks the problem lies there or doesn't it?
You might be able to calibrate your G-sensor in Android. Click the calibrate button and place your phone screen down on a flat surface. For some reason, calibrating only seems to be working when you face your phone screen down. It did the trick for me, fixed the offset and it's working just fine now.

I tried changing the data image from 3.1 to 3.2 but the g-sensor was the same, i just used Titanium Pro to backup the data i wanted to keep and reinstalled.
Try the Phone on its screen re-calibrate as suggested, ive read that may work as Roeltjuh suggested, but that was after i had reinstalled
That seem to do the trick, thank you!
Does anyone have the solution to my other problems? Also I've noticed a new problem, sometimes my WiFi won't turn on till I reboot. In the settings menu it says shutting down WiFi. But its already been shut down, and because of the loading it takes to shut down wifi, I can't turn it back on and my data connection says that it will be turned on when my WiFi is shut down. So I always have to reboot.
Sorry for all the questions, but I believe some of them can be fixed and they're too annoying to ignore. And again sorry for my poor English.
