Hello People,
I know some people have already brought these up but thought i would post them.
I have a HTC HD2 from vodaphone. Current issues I have and HTC are rubbish at fixing and responding to anything. I raised the issue on there website and they responded quickly but when there solution did not fix the issue they havnt replied in a month.
1, SMS, EMAIL, any data service randomly stops working for no reason. Give no indication and has stopped but has signal and will make, receive calls.
2, Random slow downs. With nothing open on the phone and nothing open, the phone freezes. When replying to a text or email i can type and then the phone randomly stops displaying what im typing on screen. The keyboard shows that I am still typing but nothing in the message. Works if i close the message and start again.
3, Lock Screem randomly stops responding and alot of the time will not lock.
4, I get random messages about the dialing modem not responding and have to reboot the phone.
5, Cannot download/install roms from the htc website. Says its not available for my device when i put the serial number in.
Ive had to use the rom for htc from here and use the gold card message to just update it.
Info -
OS - 5.2.21869(21869.5.0.82)
manila - 2.5.19211619.0
ROM - 1.489.405.2(71294)WWE
ROM Update - 11/18/09
Radio - 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol Version - 15.28.50.07U
Hope somebody can help as Im getting close to putting this phone on ebay if i cant rely on it to send sms's.
Do you have installed htcAddicts CleanRam? Despite putting Manila, CommMgr, etc in the exception list, cleanRam shut down my data connection after every run. So, if you have it installed, deinstall it for a while and see what happens. Maybe this does not work for you, but for me it surely did. Oh yes, and BTW do not install the HTC's Sim Card hotfix because this will update your radio to version 2.06 etc and this will also interfere with data connection and the loss of it.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I dont have clear ram installed. This happens with no other extra software installed thaen the default htc stuff.
Also forgot to add -
The cursor also moves to the top line about 3/4 across when I switch to the numbers input screen from letters and causes me to put the symbols halfway through th etop line of text.
If you're after official ROMS then it's up to Vodaphone to release updates, not HTC.
The reply fro HTC to my origional issues (including the pink boxes on the camera) was to point me to a rom they wont let me download and then not to respond after I couldnt download it. Seems like a a very bad company to me but I will contact vodaphone about it.
The hotfixes dont seem to work for the SMS's either.

Thought I'd try out the 2003se Windows.
Personally, it doesnt look much different to the OS my XDA came with.
... but at least it got rid of all the O2 crap they put on.
Here's the problems:
The phone app still wont close down. It wouldnt clost on the original OS, and still wont on 2003se. Other phone apps work fine, but the standard one just wont close.
Also:
I can phone other phones with no problem (haven't tried SMS yet), but for some reason no one can phone me. It goes straight to answer phone.
I've done a forum search for both problems, but cannot find anything.
I've had the same problems.
When registering, i just found that my Radio version is much higher than these listed on site - maybe it is a problem with that?
I have the problem where at some point, the phone program, and SMS suddenly stops working properly, messages do not get sent, the phone does not dial numbers.
A soft-reboot fixes it, but it happens a lot...
My ROM version is 1.72.0WWE and radio version 1.17.00
I have a really annoying problem with my Orange M3100 (hermes).
Intermitently, but almost every day now, the phone freezes up when a text message comes through, i.e. it will not switch on from standby mode.
I have to reset the phone, and I lose the text message. It can really screw my day up if it was an important text!
Does anyone else have this problem?
I'm looking for a ROM upgrade, but afaik there haven't been any releases from Orange yet. Do any of the other ROMs (i.e. HTC TyTN) have newer sections? I'm guessing it may be a radio ROM problem, but can't be sure of course.
Also hoping crossbow leaks for hermes soon, in case that sorts it out.
Let me know,
cheers,
Joe
I used to have this problem with my Universal.
I had removed the "Messaging" icon from my today screen to make space for other today plug-ins. Since the day I had put the Messaging icon back on my today screen, not once has my device frozen on receipt of a new SMS.
In case you too have removed the messaging icon from the today screen, I strongly suggest that you put it back.
Hope this helps and regards
I had a similar problem with an old MDA2 in which case it was caused by an incompatible SIM card which was old (Version 1.0)... I went to my Cell provider and they exchanged my SIM card with an upgraded one (SIM Version 3.5) and all my SMS problems went away!
My 2 cents...

Thanks guys, but my messaging icon is still on the today screen.
Not sure about the sim card. It's the one that Orange sent me when i bought the phone, so I'm assuming it would be compatible. How can I tell what version SIM it is?
at least on mine it has V3.5 in big letters on one side of the chip...
@ Joehood
Did you manage to resolve this issue or are you having to live with it happening occasionally?
I have noticed this on my device and it occurs only occasionally but when it does it always coincides with a SMS being received and when I'm in the middle of writing one.
Do you have any 3rd party apps that may be causing this?
I have running, PhoneAlarm and PhonePad. I am currently running SPB Mobile SHell but this has happened before installing this. Also occurred in WM5 and WM6.
I figure it might be PhoneAlarm so might try living without to see if this might be the cause, but find this a very useful app.
i got a similar problem on my JASJAM, not being able to send messages right after receiving a message. used to have the phone crash after receiving a message too. i've upgraded my radio and ROM (now using Black Majik and radio ver 1.43) but the problem's still there. still hoping and looking for a cure, hehe...
Whenever I've had this problem, it's been because I'm connected to a bad wifi connection when the text message came in.
If its a good wifi connection that is working properly or if I have no wifi connection, it doesn't happen.
I have a G4 T-mobile Vario (Wizard) that doesn't want to perform any of its "phone" functions. i.e. no calls in/out or text messages etc. The phone itself is on and is showing a full signal but when you try make a call it will start dialing and almost instantaneously hang up again, occasionally with some beeps to imply the call has failed. Has anybody come across anything similar? As far as I know the unit hasn't taken any knocks and all other functions are working okay.
Any help would be appreciated
*Update* Even the GPRS works! I don't understand!
similar problem
im almost having the same problem, mine goes from full bars to zero and back again while the cpu stays at 100% with no signal, yet somehow i can still get edge and connect to the net?
Have you tried flashing to a later radio version, like 2.71? It may solve your problems
ive tried 4 different radio versions.. it seems to me that the software that runs (service?) on the phone at startup that enables it to make voice calls keeps crashing and restarting and ive tried this on 5 different roms too and same result, it usually takes 5 - 10 soft resets, but it pops up and sometimes keeps crashing indefinitely and sometimes it eventually connects.. any ideas?

phone is blacklisted. imei banned
imei blacklisted?
Hi,
I am having the same problem as the first poster of this thread.
My phone is a T-Mobile Vario
SPL 2.021.0001
IPL 2.021.0001
Radio 02.19.11
Protocol version 4.1.13.09
Rom version 2.21.2.6 WWE
Rom Date 3/9/06
Basically, I have what appears to be full signal strength. I make a phone call and it says "dialing" then immediately says "Call Ended" with a 00.00 time for the call.
If the imei is blacklisted is there any way I can get it un-listed?
Or is there some other fix I can use to get it working?
Regards,
John
What is a Blacklistet IMEI? Is it a stolen Device?
G4 with no phone ability
Hi,
Still have the problem posted in my earlier post.
I have tried to contact T-Mobile here in the UK using the "contact us" page, rang the numbers - nothing!!! Their phone system does not work.
They have a phone number listed where you supposedly can register your phone as lost or stolen so they can blacklist it, but the phone number does not work! If you are on T-Mobile you supposedly can phone them using 150 but that doesn't work either! So I can't phone them to ask if my imei number is on their list and if so how I go about getting it removed.
(I bought the phone off e-bay last week, and guess what? The seller hasn't responded to my e-mails asking if he ever made any phone calls using this phone!)
So at present I have a semi BRICK, the PDA part works perfectly well, just the problem with the phone bit.
If anybody has any ideas about what I could / should do next regarding the phone, I would like to hear them!
Regards,
John
Have you tried flashing to a new ROM? Its unlikely that it will work, but perhaps it will solve your problem.
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.
Hi all,
Just after some advice. I bought a HTC HD2 when they were first launched. I upgraded the phone to 1.66 via a goldcard method (? the turkish release that came out). Since then the phone has not been upgraded. My wife is the main user and is still expriencing intermittent problems with the phone. Main ones being--
1- The Proximity sensor doesn't work that well. When on calls she sends random DTMF or hangs up on the caller. Seems to be her cheek on the keypad. I tried a screen lock app (name?)- but that caused other problems with the unlock intermitently not working.
2- If I enable HDSPA high speed comms it sometimes locks her SMS outbox
3- When composing SMS, it sometime locks so you can't compose. You have to wait quite a few seconds before trying again.
4- Other minor niggles.
When the phones works ok- it's very good. When the bugs kick in she wants to launch it thru the window. It's mostly used for business hence the need for reliable operation.
Anyway is it worth waiting for HTC to come out with official Ver 2.x software, whenever that might be. Or should in pick a ROM from the Development page and load that and hope??
