Seriously preformance issues

Hi.
I have to soft reset my HD2 all the time because it often lags too much.
I will now list the things which makes me wanna reset my device:
- The HD2 lags so badly, that most actions take up to 5 seconds.
- One application can crash (mostly HTC_Messaging), and I have to soft reset.
- When I write messages, the keyboard has a input lag of 5-10 seconds.
- Screen wont turn on when I push the buttons
- The device wont unlock when I slide the slider, it just stops up.
Now this happens each time I upgrade my ROM, and I am currently using Artemis now.
The programs I've installed each time is:
- FingerKeyboard
- Touch X reset and wifi
- Touch X button icon in messaging
and now I use WMLongLife also.
My SD-card is an 8GB card.
So if someone could help me, I would be happy.
(Sorry for bad english.)

Start again. Install nothing and just configure settings.
Does it run slow and crash then?
If so you have problem that could be harware.
Try another ROM and if the same then I think you need to return the unit.
If all runs fine on a clean, vanilla phone then you are doing something in the install process that is causing the instability.
Try installs one by one to the phone mem and check operation each time.
NB. Some background info would have been helpful. ROM version, Model etc!

The problem is that I can't predict when its gonna happen. It can happen randomly, and then I have to restart the phone. After the restart, everything works normal and perfect.
This can happen upto three times a day, some days it wont happen at all.
Currently using 2.10.531.7 Artemis, but this also happens with the stock ROM. The newest one that is. My radio version is 2.06.51.07
Its kinda difficult to run things vanilla phone, cause the applications I use, I need.

for me htc messaging has never crashed...
i suggest you to flash a stock rom, 1.66 for example and try it without the sent button.
if there are still problems, u can try using mtty or send it back for repair...
edit: i had the problem where the phone was freezing while loading for a long time (over night), and the display won´t turn on. Switched back to manually update Facebook, Twitter and Weather, and had no more problems since...

Well I think its crashing.
That's what I usually use when I lock the screen. So sometimes when I try to unlock it, I just get half of the messaging program or nothing, on screen. And I cant do anything.
When I try to click the Home-button, it respons in some seconds and Home-screen is all laggy.

When you lock the phone apps still run in the back ground as if asleep and when you unlock they attempt to restore themselves as they were before the lock.
You have something clashing installed and that is calling the registry at the same time as something else. Remember when windows full size used to do it?.
I think you have a badly written piece of software installed (either preloaded or installed by yourself) and suggesting starting from vanilla is a way to issolate it!

i've also had similar problems as you. after hard reseting a couple of times, i noticed that the intermittent lag began after i started syncing my phone to my PC and myphone. it turns out that my terrible management of appointments, messages and contacts was the root of my problem (several duplicates of everything, and almost 5000 text messages). i suggest you attempt to work your phone a couple days without loading up any PIM information, archive messages and remove duplicates (sktools is excellent at doing this)
i suggest you do something similar, it really helps. i was able to get my device to prrform as well as when i still had the vanilla ROM
best of luck! your device is better than you think!

Also, use the Task Manager, and close applications that you don't use, especially the Internet browser and applications that use data connection. These ones can really block the phone when connection is intermittent.

Yet again, I'm left dumbfounded by claims of "serious" issues with this device. I just don't understand how almost everyone has a "story" regarding the HTC HD2 being SLOW or LAGGY. Fortunately for me, I haven't soft reset my unit in 46h 5m 19s and everything is still running flawlessly.

your phone sounds faulty or something. for me.. even with the Stock 1.66 ROM i had, it was working pretty fast n smooth. now with Dutty's ROM, its faster n smoother than ever. i love this beast

I never have these problem! I used Official or Clean EX HQ roms and never got these problem!
Try a Task 29 and flash with 1.66 Official or Most popular Cook ROM

Pa49: I have only installed the programs which I have listed in the first post. I guess im not the only one using them.
Kev007: I usually have a lot of textmessages when I dont delet them, but thats max 2000. I dont sync my phone with my computer, so no uneccessary contacts or something either. Dont even use calendar, so have no appointments.
Reignzone: It is really bad. It can happen upto three times a day, and I just cant use the phone at all. Just sliding the home-screen to see all my shortcuts takes maybe 10 seconds. I could film it with a camcorder next time it happens so people could see.
The same thing happens each time I've installed a ROM. So it has clearly something to do with the phone and not with the software I've installed.

I get lags too when twitter is updating in the background. You would think a 1ghz processor could do two things at once

Backup your miscrosd. Try a microsd format. Restore your data. See if this helps.

T-Mo US HD2, still completely stock. I was having some issues with sluggish animations, applied many of the tweaks in the sticky threads here, things got better. However, it was super super slow to switch into some applications (SMS *always*, others occasionally).
Eventually I wondered about that fancy Swype keyboard and tried switching back to the full qwerty. All that disappeared and it moves like lightning now, I have to say.
I haven't played with updating Swype or maybe at least loading a ROM without it that I can do a regular install on top of. However, right now I don't miss it .

Lag issues
I have no idea what is causing your issues, but if it travels from one rom to the next, it may be your sd card.
I had an issue with lag in swype and other apps.
I noticed when I popped out the sd card the device instantly unfroze.
I then copied all files except App data and reformatted the sd.
No issues after that.
Hope this helps.

Sense Keeps Restarting

im using fresh 0.2. and sometimes it happens maybe every 2 hours when i unlock the phone htc sense shows its starting up again like if it was ended. i always have it open and im not really sure what might be ending it.. any help would be appreciated

The Task Killer is doing it. Stop auto Kill

I've read a few posts stating that the task killer apps are causing the sense crash. I have removed mine two days ago...since then my phone still reboots when ever it pleases. while on a call, while im sleeping, in my pocket. just seems to do it when ever it feels the need to make me regret my purchase.

if your not on the stock rom then don't blame the device.
also, the app 'spare parts' can cause sense to constantly reboot if you have selected:
activity/process management > aggressive

thanks this solved it for me. It was the spare parts messing with it. The custom rom (Inspire 4g- CoreDroid hd v4.9) came preloaded with parts on there. i personally never had a need for parts.

internal ram full, phones freezes then reboots

ok so this will happen quite often to me after messing with customizations or just using different apps. I exit apps that stay running correctly (at least ones I know I need to). my ram will fill up, or almost up and then the phone will freeze for a few seconds. when it comes back up I open system panel and close all inactive apps and anything else I feel needs to be closed. this will leave me with 50% or less free.
usually i'm not concerned, but twice now my phone has rebooted due to this. this happened once back in june and now just today. I had navigation up and when I knew where I was going I woke up the phone to exit it, but the phone was frozen. so I put it down and it actually keeps giving me directions. then I heard the start up tone, I didn't bother to look just put the phone in my pocket. a few minutes later it reboots again. again I didn't bother cause I did not need it. when I did need it I found it with no cell or 3g reception and no icons loaded up. reboot the phone manually and all is fine.
I am rooted with the latest fresh rom. but I have only been rooted for 6 days and I have been getting this memory issue the whole time I have owned the phone(release day purchase). including one reboot before rooting.
I keep reading that we should not have to worry about memory and that android takes care of it by closing apps when new apps need the memory. is this really true?
usually I keep it free by using system panel but I forget sometimes. I haven't used task killers as I read mix reviews and I like some things manual anyways.
so, is this normal? am I doing something wrong, or is there a setting I need? do I just need to go get a task killer?
what are the best task killers? and is there any programs I should not kill? or whats the optimal way to set these up?
thanx for any help you can give me

Try using Advanced Task Killer (there's a free version in the Market) and change its security settings to low, then start killing processes you don't need.
While Android is supposed to have good RAM management... Well, as you can see, it's not that great. Generally, if I get under 100MB of RAM available, I tend to go on a killing spree... Of processes.

GT-i9000m has been locking up recently to the point of removing the battery.

It went from extremely rarely doing it to three or four times just the other night in the span of a few hours. I can't reproduce it on command but it happens when I lock the screen and put it in my pocket. Then sometimes when I take it out it is entirely non-responsive, even the power button doesn't work. I have to remove and reinsert the battery.
It could be ADW Launcher or WidgetLocker since those are the only two programs always running, but I was hoping someone else experiences a similar issue. It hasn't happened when I normally lock it yet though, so it could also be the proximity sensor maybe?

Having the same issue (on Bell as well), but not running either of those two apps. Was almost to the point of returning the phone and then installed JM7 and it's been better, although not perfect. Last night it locked up with NoLED displaying an icon, so I've deleted that app to see if that's the issue. It hasn't locked up today, but it did reboot a few hours ago seemingly at random. :shrug:

Your internal sd card might be failing like all the other i9000m phones I see on this forum bricking themselves .

Oh, that doesn't sound pleasant at all...
I'm outside of Bell's 30 day exchange period plus I've talked for over 30 minutes, so I'll have to go through Samsung if it completely breaks. On the plus side, a phone from them should be three button recoverable.
Although I can't be without a phone for weeks, I hope it's not the SD card.

Mine Lags like crazy once every few days till the point I need to restart it. Any idea why this is do?

Hold your horses people....
before you jump about the lag, and or one click lag fix and such
first you have to investigate what is running on your phone.
just over the weekend (since XDA was down) i stalled over 400 Apps
my phone slowed down to snail speed, then i ran my Startup Manager software (many to choose from)
I suggest Startup Cleaner 2.0 then uncheck everything, leave only the apps that you want to run during start up
reboot your phone and presto, fast as new!
if you can find version 2.1 of startup manager that one is even better
keep note, start up manager apps are not the same as task killer apps
it only run once during start up, and it helps you easily select what should and should not run during start up, so it doesn't stay in memory after it runs
on the same topic
you should also configure your Task Killer apps to kill everything, and add only the wants you want to be running to the ignore list.
that will keep the phone working smoothly even without the "one click lag fix"
i'm still running stock on my JH2 i9000m

All gamer has a good sugestion here BUT we are going to get people flaming the fact that Android shouldnt need task managers.....
Ho hum..
TBH in my experience, I have found (after a couple of hard resets) that there appears to be a size limit for installed apps. Once I get over this size limit, I get LAGTASTIC, phone slows to a snails pace, then I remove a few of the apps and I am back at light speed again....
I cant say what the limit is, but I know when I have hit it - I would then uninstall a lame app or two and get back running.

Yes a lot of people "claims" that, but yet you do a search in Android Market, you see LOTS of Task Manager / Killer apps for every phone.
they were not designed for Galaxy S, they were designed long ago for all the other phones that had and still have the same problems of memory management causing lags
Android is not robust enough to survive without one
heck not even Windows 7 or Windows Mobiles phone

I just read that possibly the phone freezes while trying to find a signal. As this problem has only recently started, and I just recently moved into university, and many buildings receive little to no wireless signal, I think it's more than a coincidence. I'll try going to plane mode before entering lecture halls and basements.

i don't think that is the case with the Galaxy S
however back then my Treo 650 did suffer from that.

Is your DESIRE HD as slow as mine??

Hi guys,
Just got a Desire HD for my dad and boy am I embarrassed! It is painfully slow and it just shows everywhere! Screen swipes are delayed by 0.5 sec to 1 sec, opening apps are slow, scrolling through long lists is laggy oh my goodness I don't even know where to stop! Just really really awful!
I have a Desire that's why I know how it's supposed to function. Is it just my desire?? It's still unrooted and running stock rom, I am thinking of rooting it and all but I am hesitant because this is my dad's unit and he might have issues later on.
software running:
1.32.707.5
I tried the software update and it says I am up to date! Is there anyway to force the update to 1.7?
THANKS GUYS

The update has been pulled because of inconsistent performance. We should be getting another one soon enough.
Try switching on USB Debugging. Go to settings> applications> Development.
You may also want to disable Fast Boot. Go to settings> Applications.
Just so you know, the DHD is, typically, very fast.

I was playing around with it and turned on usb debugging and I don't know if it's because of that but it has become noticeable faster. Another factor may be because my dad still doesn't use the phone everyday and only for browsing without a sim. Phone seems normal after about 30 mins of playing around as compared to my previous experience. (Screen rotation before I played around was 1 - 2 seconds behind desire, now it's on par if not slower by a little)

Did some research and apparently I am not the only one with the same experience:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-846228.html
I think the usb debugging did the trick, interesting why this happened though..
I turned on usb debugging when I was gonna root and everything just sped up lol
Someone should put the thread above as a sticky.

i have the phone and i have no lag whatsoever! fastboot off,usb debugging on,20% brightness,updatess off(I CHECK MANUALLY ONCE A WEEK ABOUT)
I HAVE REVOLUTION SKIN(THE GREEN THING)
task killer i always kill all task before playing games or going to web
i hear that kiling all task before shutting down ,makes afterward the phone to bootup FASTER!

Why kill them?
The kernel will reallocate memory to the active app if it needs to anyway.

dont kill tasks, it does nothing of any use.

I disagree! The only way I can get lag-free experience is killing the unwanted tasks using up cpu cycles. Some apps just want to run and run regardless of whether you ever use them. And I'm not talking about programs sitting harmlessly idle in memory but about things like htc stocks, facebook, maps that get my cpu up to 30% though I never use any of those apps. Killing them gives me an hour or two of reasonable performance before they start themselves up again.
