Hi guys,
I upgraded today to an HTC HD2 and I'm loving it, but I'm having a bit of a problem. I was using "The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile" to sync an iTunes playlist to the phone... my computer completely locked up after another app threw a wobbly, so I had to force a shutdown and reboot. Since I did that, the "Music" app crashes HTC Sense. Nothing else is giving me problems, just "Music"
I've tried resetting the device, removing all music, resyncing, and I can't seem to get it to work...
Any ideas?
Hi,
you could try to remove/rename
\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AudioManager_Eng.vol
That helped me when I screwed my Music Tab last week
My Mac also crashes every time after a few minutes of syncing. When first removing the phone and then shutting down the Mac hard (button) there are no problems on the phone, but it's annoying becasue only approx 10 songs are synced every time,.

A few days ago my device started acting way too slow. Then it was unable to perform the most simple task. I flashed it again (Touch Essential 3.5 by that time), and it returned to behave as usual.
The problem started after setting partnership, when I tried to sync calendar. Everything else sync without problem, but calendar synchronization never ended and forced me to stop it manually. After that, the unit was unable to start so only solution was to perform a hard reset and reflash it.
I did that 2 or 3 times. I even changed the ROM, but I'm still unable to sync calendar (which is lame because I REALLY need it !).
Any suggestion or idea ? An HTC Touch without calendar is like having a slow Ipod.
Thanks in advance,
G.
I also tried without SD. It worked for a few minutes (I've got around 1000 appointments, may be a bit less), but then again, it stucked and died, forcing me to hard reset.
I'm thinking about buying another phone, I'm devastated...
Still waiting for your help, guys. You're my only hope.

Hi
I'm having so many issues with my new HD2 i think i must have the unit they were using for footie practise in the stock room.
Anyway i got my unit from Handtec last week. It has been completely unstable but here's a list of what's happen just this morning...
The Sense music player, previously working fine stops working after i placed some additional mp3s on the sd card - pressing the music icon on HTC Sense results in HTC Sense restarting - every time. Only resolved by a hard reset.
Multiple occurrences of "A problem has occurred with device.exe" , i think generally when i try to turn on the phone connection but i'm not sure of this is always the cause or not.
The phone radio connection goes off and wont turn back on despite going into comm manager and pressing the on/off soft button multiple times.
I press the power button button to bring the phone out of stand-by and it goes back to stand-by a second later, over and over again. I haven't even got time to slide the unlock icon across the screen. Then finally after a number of attempts it will either stay on, or put itself through a soft reset without me having initiated it.
How long does it take for HTC Sense to load on others phones? It can take mine minutes to move from the Loading HTC Sense screen to showing the actual Sense interface.
After a hard reset and allowing the device to fully boot up, i promptly got "A problem has occurred with device.exe" as soon as i tried to turn the phone radio on. this is before doing ANYTHING else after a hard reset.
I then got "A problem has occurred with filesys.exe" when trying to get weather for the first time. then the device shut down. Then it went back to the behaviour of going to stand by 1 second after turning iton. This is all within the first 2 minutes of a hard reset.
I really haven't one anything to this phone. It still has the same ROM that it has when i received it - 1.43.70124 from memory. I would tell you exactly except at the moment its refusing to open the 'Software Information' screen in Settings-About Phone. It just freezes up instead (that's a new bug in the last 5 minutes, woot!)
Does anyone have any ideas? i'm hesitant to put the 1.48 rom on in case i need to return the unit and they refuse due to me changing the rom.
Thanks.
My advise is to flash it with the same ROM version. Maybe the ROM is corrupted. If that still doesn't work, get a replacement.

The Sense Music Player on my HD2 crashes everytime it's tab is selected when there are music files on my memory card. Since I need music on my phone, I disabled the Music Tab and got Conduits Pocket Player instead. Works great, and is fast and smooth.
Never had a problem/error message on my HD2.
I'm also using the 1.43 ROM, got mine from eXpansys.
Try doing another hard reset and see how it goes... It shouldn't be spitting out fault messages after a hard reset...
The sense music player seems to have a problem if you load too much music into a memory card at any one time.When I first got my 16 gig microsd card, I decided to fill it up with music, and when the sense music player tried to scan what was on it, the whole sense interface just froze and I had to soft reset ny phone.
I found a temporary solution to the problem by having the computer connected via ActiveSync and just transferring the files over whilst the sense music tab was open. This way, the program can sorta scan each song as it is being added rather than bomnbarding it with a whole heap of songs at once and causing it to crash.
By doing it this way, I've managed to put around 7 gigs worth of music on my phone. I hope htc fix this soon as well as it is obviously another bug with the phone.
Hey, don't be disheartened; my first set was like that as well. device.exe error on the first boot up, and pretty much your experience. Slow Sense UI loading, unstable device, etc. Get a new set if you can.
You only have one option- send it back
It's patently a hardware or initial ROM fault. Don't bother with trying to flash a new ROM, just get in touch with Handtec for an RMA

Thanks for everyones advice, its appreciated.
Attempting to flash the same ROM onto the device is a good idea, too obvious to occur to me! Out of interest, if I was to flash the 1.48 WWE ROM and it didnt fix anything, would it allow me to downgrade to the 1.43 WWE ROM again? or would the installer scream at attemptoing a downgrade?
It may well be a hardware error though, there's so many things going wrong. But then you would think a hardware error would stop it working at all. Maybe its some dodgy memory... well im going to try flashing 1.43 for now and will wait for advise on the upgrade followed by possible downgrade idea (in case i need to return it - trying to avoid that as im in Oz and trying for a replacement to the other side of the World at Xmas just sounds like a bad idea).
Thanks
stick on 1.43 and just wait until an official update has been released,
Why would you want to put yourself into such situation. Don't mess with the device. If you flash it with 1.48 and fail to downgrade whatever the reason is, you will void the warranty. Flashing 1.43 should tell you if it's a software or hardware error. If it's not a hardware and 1.43 solved the issues, you're free to do whatever you want with 1.48

I also had this problem, found it was nothing to do with the above, there was just one song that it didnt like the file name off. It had % and a few other sybols in it, changed the name it was fine.
Just wanted to update my own thread.
I tried reinstalling the 1.43 ROM completly as suggested and it seemd to solve most of my issues for a few hours then they all started showing up again along with more new ones... but...
I then went and bought a replacement SIM card from my carrier as my old sim was 6 years old. Put it in the phone and hey presto, my HD2 has magically come good! About 48 hours now, and considering i couldn't go more than a few hours previously without having to pull the battery, soft or even hard reset, im calling it fixed!.
Now i have no idea why an old sim would affect parts off the system that are not to do with making phone calls but all i can say is a new sim has solved all off the freezes, glitches, basically evrything. The device is just stable now. So my advise to anyone who thinks they have a bad 'un, at least try replacing your sim before returning it.
Oh and the old camera patch seems to be good as well.
I do love a happy ending.
LOL, windows mobile is never stable, I buy it just for fun.
you might want to edit the title of the thread now that your problem's solved so everyone can learn from your XP

Yep, if there is a foreign letter or some odd character in the title/artist/album of a song, it can cause manila to crash

Thanks for the update. Good to hear you're happy with HD2 now .
First off, I hope this is the right place for this and that it wasnt posted before
Ive got my Leo now since 4 days and have noticed a strange bug. When I have the phone connected the pc via usb and afterwards (after unplugging of course ) try to listen to music in the music tab of sense, it cant find the files it had scanned in its library.
The music files are still on the memory stick and I can see them in the explorer and play them in nitrogen (or any other player) but the sense music tab simply doesnt find them anymore.
This also cant be fixed by restarting sense (switching to standard windows home screen and back to sense)
After a soft reset the music can be found again by sense.
If its of any help: Im on the German Tmobile stockrom becaus, well to tell the truth I was to lazy until now.
Hope you can help me
Mine also does this. Not sure why it looses the music library.
When you connect your phone to the PC via USB Storage mode, it practically disconnects the SD card from your phone so Sense notices it doesn't have the music, cuz it doesn't have the SD card in. So, it kind of sticks to the fact that it doesn't have an SD card even after you disconnect.
Anyway, if you give it a little time, it will be able to play the tracks again, cuz it will search eventually. Disabling and enabling Sense works for me, but again, after enabling again please give it a little time (5-10 minutes) to find all the files.
I know its annoying but...i don't know any solutions.
it has happened a couple of times to me too and I solved it by killing the audiomanager_eng.exe process. When I go back to the music tab, everything works again.
Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but Ive got a new question:
In the newer Sense builds my music is found without a problem after disconnecting my phone from the pc.
The only problem that still remains is that Sense doenst play the last track from where I paused it, but from the beginning. The strange thing is this: When I go to the music tab it still displays the right time where I last paused, but when I press play it goes back to the beginning of the track. This is mostly annoying when Im listening to podcasts.
Is there an easy fix, like changing a registry value or something?
I just connected my earpieces (Creative EP-830) and entered the music tab. Then I started to play a song, put it in sleep mode and all of a sudden it starts to skip songs from 1 to the next but it's also fast forwarding every song! Also when I press pause to stop it, it just continues again over and over again when I press pause. Not only this, it also started to call people when I wasn't even touching it. It was just lying on my desk!
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks.
Installed HTC HD2 Music stability fix from HTC support page ?
I'll try it out and report the results thanks!
yo, any results by now?
if i connect other headphones than the stock ones, it occasionally calls the last number i dialed when i put it in my pocket with screenlock on (only when sense music player is active). >_>
too bad i can't recreate the problem since it only happens once in while, but its so annyoing.
could this be related to voicecommand? even when i disabled it, it sometimes reenables itself, when i put it in my pocket.
im running Miri & DINIK ROM v17 (awesome) btw, don't know if it is much of help.

The bug returned but after using the htc music fix again it worked as normal again. So you could say it's working.
Two days ago I had the same issue with my device.
Didn't know about the music fix, but i found the problem!
I changed all the audio-file associations with the help of coreplayer - with the result, that sense lost it's "files" ... with the same behaviour as you described!!!
another problem occured: None of the sounds were played ... after noon i saw that i've missed several calls, tasks, appointments and so on..
if hadn't recognized that, even the morning alarm would've been of no use!!
i was lucky having a complete systembackup - transferring it to mSD, double clicking and configuring some minor settings - and voila my system ran like nothing happened...
in short - it's probably a re-association problem of sense's services with the audio-formats! (yes, i tried uninstalling an rebooting! )
Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me out with this issue I've been having with my Galaxy S3 Neo.
Some time ago my phone started to randomly crash internal android services and processes. It kept working after reboots until up to a point. The things that didn't work properly were Music apps, phone and (so I figured) all apps that somehow are connected to audio. A factory reset did not fix my issue.
I brought my phone to a local repair shop and they fixed it with some sort of factory reset, which they told me was done over reinstall by PC.
It worked for a few months and I had no problems at all.
Now, since a few days, my phone starts acting up again.
I don't get the crash reports like I used to get, but it's 'dying' nonetheless.
It started with the Facebook app not working anymore, it kept 'looping' the 'setting up facebook'-message and crashing the locations process, so I deleted the app.
That helped for a bit.
Now:
- I can't call anymore, it hangs.
- I can't listen to music, it hangs.
Again, any sound/audio related apps make my phone crash or hang.
The Music app, I can start it up, press play and it just doesn't respond. It says it's playing, but the counter remains on 0:00.
The weird thing is, that when I hook my phone up to my Bluetooth car stereo, it plays music fine.
It seems that whenever the phone is trying to connect to the speaker, it has issues...
A factory reset through settings didn't fix it, and neither did a hard reset in recovery mode..
Help is required!!! Please!!!!
I tried CWM, wiping everything, put CM12 on it, but no luck. Could it be that the speaker(s) is (are) dead and Android can't work properly when that happens?
