I had some occasionally but before I updated, but I guess this is normal for windowsmobile (its my first ppc).
Yesterday I updated my Xperia with the SEUS (Its an unlocked phone so the update came directly from SE and not for example from vodafone).
Since then my Xperia froze a lot. Today I had to remove the battery and reboot for at least 5 times. It always happens on the today screen when I hit the start button. The start menu appears and then the phone just freezes. The backlight doesnt dim or turn off after a while, and the powerbutton also doesnt respond and the only thing I can do at this point is removing the battery or soft resetting. This often already happens shortly after booting.
I didnt install a lot of apps after the update, but I´ll list the here anyway, maby it will help you help me
-Nitrogen
-Syncmate driver
-G-Alarm
-XnView Pocket
-Taskfacade 4
Now I really dont know what to do. Id flash a custom rom since I know it optimizes some things, but Im really new to this and dont even know how to flash a crom or what roms can/should, cant/shouldnt be flashed on my X1.
I hope youre able to help me
this the official R3A?

I would guess so since it came from SE through SEUS as the TS states.
Are you sure you're on R3AA? I thought this wasn't available on SEUS yet...
Check settings -> system -> device information -> customer information.
I flashed the generic UK R3AA (obtained from XDA-Devs here) at the weekend and so far I'm really impressed. R2AA was a bit slow at times, and froze alot. It never felt comfortable, if you know what I mean.
Early experiences with R3AA for me are really good. Phone feels much slicker, landscape switching is fantastically quick, menus seem to work more quickly (in 'settings', for example), windows folder opens in explorer much more quickly. Basically the whole thing feels better.
I know this is purely subjective, and I know many have said not to bother with R3AA which has ended up as little more than a maintenance upgrade, but I do think it was definitely worth it...for me at least.
Yeah, its the official R3A I installed it through SEUS (Sony Ericson Update Service)
Im really sorry for doubble posting, but its 11 pm here and I need my phone or Ill oversleep tomorrow >.< (No I dont have an alarm clock atm)
The phone freezes literally every time now when I hit the start button, except when Im fast enough and press it right after booting. Its totally useless like this
Already tried a hardreset (pressed both softkkeys and put the styls in the softreset hole) but it didnt reset the phone. What else can I do?

It may be a bad backup or certain application which causes that, IMO.
I had such experiences, that a certain app was slowing down the phone horribly.
I managed to do a hard reset now, first I pressed the wrong key combo (duh´)
So now my Xperia is working again. Its strange that it shows me Sodtwareversion: R3AA007 now, since I had something with R2A before the update (or is that normal?)
Anyways Ill now backup my stockrom if I find the time and flash a custom rom (The video tutorials are awesome)
I think this thread can now be locked. Thanks to everybody who tried to help me
I did find R3AA rom alittle unforgiving when it comes to software conflict as compared to R2AA.
I have PointUI, and apparently the applet I build will causes the R3AA to hang, when it was working fine on R2AA (albeit alittle unstable at times, but not as bad as R3AA). When I patched my applet to ensure it freeds up a certain chunk of memory instead of holding it for next processing, the applet works brilliantly on R3AA again, and even more stable than before.
So I suggest that you install your apps one by one and see which one hung on you.
Do you have the latest Version of G-Alarm? Please check the developer's board at http://forum.ageye.de/ for this problem. This happened often.

Seems sun_dream found yet another build, hes saying is pretty fast, i cant wait till he releases it, heres the link to his blog post
edit:heres a mirror thx to homam_france
He has sent me a beta, which I will be testing sometime between today and tomorrow. I will post some feedback on this. Stay tuned!
I hope the shell won't distort the OK and X Buttons anymore

Great, I just installed Xplode's R3. But i want to try it too.
egzthunder1 can i test it too?
i better get my BA fix up ASAP, the hardware buttons are not so responsive, it seems I am going to be busy flashing
Well,
Day 1 after flashing sun_dream's latest. So far, very fast and stable. Here are the main points (in my opinion anyways)
*Titanium seems a lot more responsive than before (I still don't like it though )
*The removal of windows and menus animations make the device respond faster overall.
*Unbelievably responsive kinetic scrolling.
*The honeycomb is actually usable now!!
*Settings were put back into categories (Personal, System, Communications).
*Battery life seems good, no major drainage.
*"OK and X" bug fixed and working fine!!
*Wifi nice and steady (still need to test PIE8 and Iris Browser).
*Transparent Top bar looks awfully nice! (too bad the programs replace it with the Black bar)
Things I did notice were as follows:
*The Wifi icon seems to be getting cut off from the bottom down. In other words, you can only see half of the icon.
*Power in the Power Settings doesn't show a percentage anymore.
I still need to do some further testing (e-mail setup, etc), but overall this rom is superb!
Will report back later.
Good Job Sun!!!!!
he sent me a beta too but got a big problem...my cradle ain't working anymore!

You can always use mtty and flash via SD.
hey Egz...I'd like to try that but I need my cradle so I need to go to a local phone store first thing tomorrow. I tried to fix the cradle myself but ended ruining it more so how is the 2117x build vs xplode's r3? 21169 x2 is so buggy so I flashed my BA back to wm6.1....

I havent' had a chance to test xplode's R3, but sun's is a very nice rom (so far anyways). I still have to test BT (headset and GPS).
One thing I did notice also, is that it seems that data transfer via AS is a lot faster than in previous builds... I guess M$ finally did something right
You can read the rest of my review in my previoius post. Good luck with your craddle situation
A little further testing...
*I purposely soft reset the device and it took approximately 1 minute to wake up completely and loading PointUI Home 2. So, it has a very fast wake up time!!
*I set up my g-mail account with no problem.
*I don't use SMS, so I cannot test that.
*Lock application seems a bit faster and more responsive than in older builds.
*PIE is a bit faster, but I still have other browsers that I like to use. I will test YouTube later (with both PIE and Iris).
Left to do...
*Test BT connection with headset, and GPS (Pharos BT receiver).
*Test IR/BT data transfer... (I have to find another BT and another IR enabled device to do this)
*Must finish going through the settings to ensure that they all work.
Will do more later...
ok seems like 2117x is a lot stable vs the older wm6.5 builds..waiting for your BT test result...

BT = Bluetooth?
if so, it's always a trouble-maker
i found strange issue with lockscreen, when you have locked your device and pressed power (entered standby) and recieve a call the answer lockscreen part does not show upon device resume, this bug does not happen when device is locked and not on standby - you may try the scenario yourself, i think that this bug is present in 21169 too (no matter sun or my roms)
tested various rom configurations, rebuilded about 20 times this rom, but this nasty bug stays
as of now I am very contented with wm6.1 v3.02 by sun_dream. I need to use my BA so I think I will just wait for a more stable build of wm6.5
Well, I tested (tried to pair really), my GPS receiver, but no dice... For some reason, the device either looses connection or just flat out does not recognize the pass-code. The BT headset, on the other hand hasn't given me too much trouble. It paired up nicely...
@xplode,
I'll give it a shot, but I don't normally use my BA as a phone (unless I am traveling)... which I will do on Monday, so I'll let you know then.
Still stable and no SR so far, except for one time when I was using wifi and my device went into power saving mode (turned off the screen) and afterwards, it would only have a black screen... had to SR there. I tried to recreate the situation on a few occasions with no luck... I guess it was a one time thing.
More reports to come..
well i had the same thing today, blackscreen - only fixed with hard reset
soft reset gets me back to the black screen
This appears to be a secret and private talks thread
Why are others kept in dark about the build 2117x? Once its disclosed that such a build exists, every one gets interested in trying it. If there is a reason for keeping it hidden from others for the time being, better use private messages. Just my two cents.
if we just talk about it, Microhell can't do something about it... now if we link to it here DIRECTLY, then xda-developers is in Trouble.

@April 1,
The reason is rather simple. If you release something that has bugs and things (something you would consider a pre-release), you will have an enormous amount of people asking the same questions over and over and over and over.... and over again (kinda like it is right now but worse).
It is a lot easier to develop something when the beta testers are finding all the minor things and not hitting themselves on the face with major bugs that might require hard resets and stuff.
We are not trying to keep anyone in the dark (that is why we are reviewing this build), but sun_dream will release it when he deems it is ready for public use. So far, he has not made mistakes (at least not many) in his ability to judge when a rom is suitable for release.
Just be patient... this should be out soon
So Im VERY new to this, first Windows Mobile phone. And this is my first post.
Right after receiving my HD2, I was disappointed with my purchase. I loved my Android powered G1, and fell in love with HTC. But when I got my HD2, the texting was terrible, and my phone kept freezing. After talking with a few friends about this, I was referred to this site.
From there, I did some research, and have learned a little bit. I decided to upgrade the ROM to the stock T-Mobile 2.13, through a link I found on this site. At the same time, I loved the interface of the CHT and CHTE, so I loaded those. Also, at the recommendation of Cookie's thread, I loaded Chainfire HD2 3D Driver Patch V2.0.
Well everything feels better, Ive started using Swype, and I havent had any freezing issues. I couldnt be happier...
But I recently notice (I dont do many phone calls, or talking. Im more web, email, and text) my incoming call screen isnt popping up. My phone will ring, I pull the phone out, and I see my home screen, and it is unlocked, like it should be when an incoming call comes through. I start tapping on the screen, and where I tap, icons/buttons start popping up. The "Mute" button, the "Answer/Ignore" bar, and SOMETIMES the caller's ID pic (if Im lucky enough for it to be someone who has a pic).
Now, this doesnt happen ALWAYS, but it does happen here and there. Ive also noticed, that the function that blacks/locks the screen when in call, against your face is running funny.
Does anyone know if this is related to my ROM? The 3D Driver Patch? CHT? Has anyone had anything similar???
I DID do a search, but only in this TMOus HD2 General sub forum. Should I be looking else where? Sorry for such a novel. I just felt that I should provide any possibly necessary info, since Im kind of clueless to this phone modifying world.
TIA.
Hmm...if it were me I'd definitely start with uninstalling that video driver and see if that changes the behavior.
Also, are you using the stock lockscreen or do you have CHT lockscreen enabled via CHTE? If you do have CHT's enabled, then next you might want to switch it off and see if it helps.
I don't know for sure that either of those will resolve that, but that's where I'd start troubleshooting.
After your new rom finished flashing, did you perform a manual hard reset (as recommended by most chefs)?
I've found that there is more chance of the rom being unstable if you dont.
(flashes dont always take first time, no clue why, but i'd estimate about 1 in 10 flashes just isn't stable, yet the next flash with the same rom is stable, , , I've also noted similar results when installing an OS on my PC, , , sometimes it just doesnt wanna take properly.)

I read somewhere that the "unleaked official ROM" caused more problems than it was worth. I got the 2.13 ROM on the leaked version before it was made official and it has been working great since. I read that they made more changes and then made it official and that it was causing phones to be bricked and most phones ended up worse than they where before the the upgrade. The only "negative" thing i experienced was the screen sensitivity but it appears that the cab featured in the sticky at the top of the post fixed that!? Kinda strange If all else fails Factory Reset and try again. I always like to take a baseline reading. When my phone began acting screwy I would restore and run it stock for a few days to see if problems persisted...then after about three or four days slowly begin installing things...
Thanks for the responses! I will start with sirphunkee's suggestions. As I was typing, I started thinking the Driver Patch was a good possibility. Also, I have noticed that the phone doesnt just "sleep" the screen when I put the phone to my face, it locks. Im assuming this is something to do with CHTE's lock, because as sirphunkee mentioned, I am using the CHTE lock, instead of the stock.
Im going to start there, and see what happens.
Also, I did NOT do a manual hard reset. How would I go about doing so (yes, Im a HUGE noob. More of a car guy)? Im hoping I wont need to do this, as Im assuming I will need to restore all of my contacts, reorganize them, and reset everything else, as if the phone were new out of the box... Correct? But in case that is necessary, how do I do so?
As far as the leaked or official version... I couldnt find it on T-Mobile's site. I read a thread here, where it had been there then removed, due to people having issues with the download. I then was searching Swype or something, same forum, and found another thread, where someone had a link to the download through T-Mobile. Kinda hard to explain, but I will see if I can find the link, and the thread.
Thanks again guys! I really appreciate it. And thanks for taking it easy on me.
I just tried to post the links. I found them in my browser History. But because I have such a new account, I cant post.

Thanks for the effort though, you'll be able to put up links after just a few more posts (it's listed in the forum rules...hint, hint). Also, toreone already threw up a new thread in this section with that link for everybody, so don't sweat that
EDIT: oops, missed the rest of your questions there. The hard-reset is exactly what you said...resets the phone to factory-fresh condition. Yes, contacts will have to be reapplied, but sorting really shouldn't be an issue depending on your method of backing up and restoring them. I highly recommend using the built-in Microsoft Myphone utility for that (and it's wise to let it back them up regularly too, just in case, I just have mine set to do it each night while it's charging).
You can perform a hard-reset a couple of ways:
1. on your settings tab, hit "menu", then "all settings", then "system". You'll find an icon in there titled "clear storage". Run that, use 1234 as the code, and it will do its deed.
2. with the phone powered off, hold both the vol up and down buttons at the same time, and then press the end/power button to turn it back on, then it will take you into the same hard-reset process as the first method.
Hi guys!
I'm experiencing a serious problem with my X10: Using the stock camera app causes (50% and more of times) a reboot of the device
I'm still stuck with the R1FA016 firmware (Spanish, Movistar) and i thougt this could be the problem since nobody seems to have a so bad experience
Today i tried the Vignette app on the market and the bug is still there... what could be the problem?
Thank you.

If you're using a task killer, check out you are not killing any camera app.

Then, try one more thing: uninstall ATK, reboot the phone and let it handle the RAM as it is supposed to.
Perhaps ATK is the culprit! I know it caused me a great deal of problems in the past, until I finally realised that task managers do more harm than good on android operating systems.
@sleepyManX1
the update is out already try OTA update......

I also have this problem with my desire, apparently after a search in XDA, problem exists in Nexus one (which is like HTC desire anyway) and HTC G1, G2.
seems no solution yet, I flashed my phone and installed the latest radio and a custom rom, still no solution.
hope someone can fix it
sleepyman x1 i too am on the same firmware as u and get the exact same problem im on three network uk, iv tried everything and nothing seems to solve it,,,, the only thing iv found that helps the camera bot up next time is when finished using the camera is to press the back button to exit camera mode and not to use the home button,
hope this is some help to you,
any updates of this would be great, the update doesnt seem to be there for my reigon yet, ( According to SE anyway ) they pretty much told me to sit tight and wait for he 2.1 in the last 4 mths of this yr

Be sure that i'll keep you informed
I also have "reboot" problem, but my phone reboots random - sometimes when I use Google Maps, sometimes when finish phone call, even sometimes when the phone is idle. I tried factory reset several times, updated to latest firmware (currently R2BA026) but no luck.
These days I will go to my local SE support center, I have no choice ...

Try switching the date on your phone a few days ahead so you will probably update it usually helps. Can you go in and look what software you have? For the latest firmware is 1.25.405.1
The updated is only for unbranded phones.
My unbranded phone is 1.14.405.2
I don't see any updates available. Do I need to upgrade? If so, how?
(I just set the date to 14 October, I checked for updates. Nothing happened)
My phone is unbranden to and have same 1.14.405.2 number.
I try to move date and nothing...
I have contact HTC and they like usual send me this...
Dear Branislav,
Dear Mr.Branislav Thank you for contacting HTC. Kindly check the capacity of the SD card if is full, remove any 3rd party application and soft reset the device: Soft reset: Remove the battery, then re-insert it If the problem persists please back up your data and Hard reset the device: Hard reset: While the phone is off, press& hold on the Volume Down button, press the power -while the volume down is still pressed- Release Volume down, then follow the on-screen steps. Note: A screen with 3 Androids will come up, Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP. If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again. Please note that you can contact us via support line For further details, please go to....
Thanks for that.
Excuse me while I rant ... wtf???????????????
Really? This the best they can do? I must have done this 30 times with my Windows Mobile phone. I should have kept my resolve and not brought another HTC phone. The triumph of hope over experience.
I'm not going to do this because I am sure it won't help. I must have tried software update shortly after I bought the phone, when it was in this pristine state. I could spend a day backing up and restoring the phone, and losing things like call history and spelling to no avail.
Does anyone have a better idea, or should I see if I can return it as a POS phone and buy an iPhone?
ITT: Noobs, Noobs everywhere.
It may depend on the region.
If your phone is rather new the update might not be visible when you press the check for update button because the changes are included in the rom.
Have fun with that POS iphone.

You post that the update is only for unbranded phones. Now it turns out that you meant unbranded phones that are of a certain age. There is no need to be rude, not everybody can devote their entire life to the ins and outs of their hardware, you don't have to be a noob not to understand HTC software release policy.
If it turned out that HTC had suggested I do a hard reset on my phone to get the software updated, I would have tried to return it. I've lost days of time on the hard reset merry-go-round, and I'm not getting on it again.
(I don't really want an iPhone, but if the android thing didn't work out for me, there aren't many other places to go.)
(sorry for the thread derail, OP)
I just want to let you know that I perform hard reset on my wildfire and it seem to be better now...I just intall advance task killer for now couse it seem to be 3th part app couse problem...
and something else...before I do HR i check for udates and theres no one in the box and after HR I check again and there was 1.25.405.1 update available
I'am not install it yet couse I read somewere that people compare that couse some problems on wifi.
My lag is back..sh..t,mo..er f.ck!#"#%(/()&))=()=!!!!!!!!
Lagging is normal when you're using a F**KING task killer. Cus you're breaking the Android's super memory management system. Uninstall the task killer. Reboot your phone and enjoy its speed
Ok. but how to kill apps that used memory?
I never really noticed a lag on my Wildfire. I got the latest update a couple of days ago and I can say I did notice a slight improvement in performance. But as far as I know, every phone lags at some point, it's normal isn't it?
Check your software again and check what exactly your task killer is and isn't closing. If you want to get deeper, go check what services are running via the settings menus.
You have to also understand, the Wildfire is only an entry level model. It's not as powerful as the high end models, so there is bound to be some performance issues now and again. If you can't deal with that, get rid of it and go for something more powerful.
I know what I bay and wath for...I am not complaining about my phone performance,that laggs started 10 days ago and its not because my phone isn't Desire!
PlZ read this which explains why android doesn't need a task killer. It basically closes apps down after a minimal amount of time.

Hmm looks interesting...... So is the lag with every phone or only some of them?
Since flashing Duttys WM6.5 Leo Holy Grail ROM to my HD I have been very impressed with it's performance, 99% of the time it is responsive and stable and seems happy even though several programs are running. It has made my HD a really nice phone.
But every now and again something weird will happen, usually activesync reports a problem, or all of my contacts vanish, sometimes files on the device (not SD) cannot be accessed. So I soft reset and it doesn't boot, it will get stuck on the orange splash screen.
In total it has happened about 4 times since I flashed the ROM on Dec 29. It happened last night and eventually the device loaded the background picture, then popped up an error dialogue saying something about being unable to open a file, there was no mention of the file name. I did a soft reset and it then automatically performed a hard reset.
The other times the phone just hangs on the orange splash screen every time, causing me to perform a hard reset manually. Sometimes it will work fine for a good few days, or sometimes fail after only 1 day.
Its really annoying. I cant seem to get a HTC that works at the moment. My TP2 is rubbish, I've tried several ROM's and it is consistently unstable, so I go back to my HD which was always reliable... And now this happens.
please Help or I'll be forced to turn to the darkside and get an iphone and I really don't want to do that!
Why not just return to the "reliable" firmware version used previously?
I'm not a fan of custom roms or 6.5, especially on this underpowered model, it's definitely the most reliable handheld I own or have owned with oem roms though, especially without it's resource gobbling pretty face on.
Not really the most helpful answer, but i suppose i cannot argue the reasoning behind it.
In defence of this ROM it is BRILLIANT when it is working, i'd actually argue that the device feels smoother with this ROM than it did with the stock Orange UK ROM.

Have you tried asking your question in one of Duttys threads. You may get a better response. Also, try flashing a different rom
Thanks.
Since posting the message the problem has not come back.
I have been thinking that there is a possibility that my server was hacked, i noticed a few things had changed on the server, i also had notices when i logged in to facebook and paypal, informing me that someone from New York had accessed my account. the server and facebook used to have the same password.
Is it possible that the problem i had was caused by a hacker on my exchange server issuing a command to reset the device? i know it can do something like this to protect data in the event of a phone going missing.
what does the device do if exchange server performs this routine?
Please help me find this problem... i dont want to buy an Iphone!
Ok I tried a different Rom, this time i used one of KWBR's:
http://media.celogeek.com/roms/kwbr/..._5.7_Sense.rar
a month down the line and its just started to go wrong again.
this time, i find that the device slows down a little bit, prompting me to soft reset, when it boots i find that my contacts are missing, active sync will not load properly, it briefly flashes on screen but lower 1/3rd of active sync window is missing (appears transparent or black) only way to get contacts back and active sync working again is hard reset!
Anyone got any ideas what might be going on?
its been doing this now on both ROM's but i have no idea what may be causing it, as far as additional software i only install a few apps: Slimcontrol 1.5, Core player & GcZ2 (geocaching tool) which all have been running fine before.
