Not really a bog deal I hope but it would be nice to avoid it altogther.
On a few occasions I have restarted the phone i note that after the splash screen it goes to the wallpaper and "loading sense" appears at the top with messaging or some such in the top left corner where it says "start" normally.
If I do nothing it will stay like this and not automatically load the Home screen - ie screen will go dark and even activate screen lock [I have looked for various lengths of time!]
If I touch any button or the screen at this stage it will go to the Home Screen and the screen works fine.
Anyone else get this irritation and anyone know why it happens and/or how to make it boot into the Homescreen normally all the time?
Thanks
what rom are you using?
I had this exact issue myself. Not really a problem, as I just touched the screen and Sense appeared immediately. It was obviously running, but the screen hadn't been refreshed for some reason.
All I can say about it is that I've not had it since upgrading to a newer ROM. It did happen on 1.66, but now I'm using a Dutty ROM (v0.8), which is based on one of the v2+ ROMs.
+1 I get it on stock 1.66 WWE, I just press the X and it carries on as normal.
I am using wwe 1.66 stock rom on an unlocked phone on voda
I get this whenever i restore a prior SPB backup file. I always have to load it twice then it works for some reason.
I've had this issue before and think its to do with the messaging app, as mentioned above hitting x in the cormer works.
Doesnt seem to be HD2 specific though as its also happened to me on my old Polaris
I got this from time to time.
Look at the soft keys. When it happens with me, I always see the soft keys of Messaging. I suppose Inbox is trying to connect. I just press the home key to call up the home tab.
I get this from time to time, doesn't seem to be any particular pattern to it. But as above touching the Screen/Start seems to clear it.
So is everyone just going to leave it?
Could it be a program in the Startup folder in Windows?
Ever since I installed pocketMax's PhoneAlarm, it happens every time the phone is booted up.
It does goes to the home screen after about 60-90 secs.

It all started when I upgraded to a new rom. So the first thing I did was ditch the rom and install a new rom. I was running Black 3.0.1 and now updated to Black Satin.
The time it takes to lock up seems to very. I have had times where I could leave it for 4hrs and then hit the power button and it comes to life, other times I can have it sit for 30mins and hit the power button only to find it won't wake up. When it is in its locked up state, it won't even receive calls. It just sits there with the top right led blinking green. Its really getting frustrating.
In order to get it to come back I have to push the reset button on the bottom of the phone with my stylus.
I have been reading as many "lock up" threads as I can on the forum and so far it seems that most are to do with Push Mail. Which I don't use.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
I dont know if its a ROM issue as my does this sometimes (dont know about incoming calls as i dont get that many anyway) I am on the stock T-Mobile rom
I dont use push mail either
doesn't happen much to me (now i said i bet it does it all the time )
I think it seems to do it when i havnt soft restarted it for a while, so it could be that the lock up is due to memory or something and it just needs a soft reset to clear it down
I also have this problem, only a soft reset makes the phone respond. This happens sometimes when the phone has only been reset an hour previously.
It also happened once during the night and caused my alarm to not go off, so I only made it to the office for 10:30!!
Did you guys find a solution or did the problem just go away?
bump
got the same problem.
For me the problem went away only after I installed a new radio and new rom. I honestly don't know what was causing the problem. But it went away and I am happy. There might have been an issue with an installed app, but I never did find any app that directly caused the issue.
im wondering if its just me..
most times, when the phone comes out of sleep, after i slide to unlock, it just hangs. i dont even get to see the clock, sometimes, it just shows a black screen, and sometimes, all i see is the lock screen..stuck.
i can push the start button, and it would work as normal, but i cant go home.. and everything else related to sense...music, settings, message, ..just crashes.
i always have to reboot phone to get it back to normal.
could there be something making it crash? ..and does it happen to anyone else?
yes it happens to me from time to time. sometime HD2 just lies on my desk and 'fall asleep'... cannot turn on the screen though all the buttons light up.
when this happens i have to call from my HD to turn HD2 on and when it's on, it's unstable, and i have to reboot it.
same problem
I have exactly the same problem. it just crashes for no reason. sometimes when WiFi is on. sometimes after I synchronize. sometimes if only plugged out of the charger.
it was in version 1.48 and kept happening even after I upgraded to 1.66
I hope this has a fix or something or atleast a way to restart sense because the Windows button works, phone works, except the volume, the turn off and the settings in the start menu..
help!
thank you in advance.
Same problem here. Freezes at the lock screen and the lights appear from the buttons. Occurring with worrying frequency now. Twice in the last three days. Any ideas?
folks, do report your issues here .. i have a feeling that this is a known hardware issue by HTC and they are just keeping veru quiet about this.

Same thing here, it use to happen 2 time in 2 months since new, but ever since i upgrade to 166 is happening everyday
I am really really disappointed with HTC HD2 he came out with some many bugs that i am after 2 months of hade and love affair really considering divorcing ones for all.
Nice looking screen but no reliable atall enough is enough
hello all
Firstly, not a hd2 hater, quite the opposite in fact. I love the beast.
However, I'm having a bit of a problem with it.....
Whenever I leave it in my pocket or overnight for a while, and go to unlock it,
It gets stuck on the unlock screen for like 30 secs!
Something similar also happens sometimes when I'm using the phone, e.g. to play a game or read something with MS reader, it will slow everything down to the point that my game is crawling or it takes like 10 odd seconds to change my ebook's page, and this will last for 30s-1min.
I'm running the 1.61 ROM and other than that don't really have any problems!
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? anyone found a workaround?
Would appreciate any help!
anyone else had this problem?
Phone won't unlock
I have a similar problem My HD2 unlock slider won't slide far enough left or right to unlock. The slider stays stuck in a position 90% of the way across. I can slide it to the other side by the same amount, but the phone won't unlock. the only way i can get it to work is to hit the end/power button (the only button which works), and then take the battery out.
Does anybody have any thoughts? I'm about to do a hard reset, but would prefer not to.

try flashing a custom rom. see my sig for all you need to know about custom roms.
Hmm, mine did the same thing yesterday after using SportyPal on a 4hr MTB ride. It performed great while out and about, but when I got home the unlock screen had frozen. I tried different things to get it going but ended up doing a reboot. Thankfully SportyPal retained my ride data and everything was cool. But I guess there are deeper issues causing more people to experience this?
In any event get rid of the lockscreen. it causes significant lockups and lags on the HD2. Take a look here and read the comments for an additional reg value: http://windowsmobile.mobilitydigest.com/disable-lockscreen-hd2-stops-freezing-its-magic/
mine freezes for no reason at times it wont get pass the first plash screen. i tried flashing just about every rom i can get my hands on and nothing works. i tried flashing android and my phone started getting really warm
I've been getting very strange/unwanted touchscreen issues for a while now. It seems to happen randomly and for hours at a time. When I press the power button to wake the phone and turn the screen on, I can't even drag the unlock slider to unlock the phone. It takes numerous wake/sleep power button presses until I can get the screen to respond to my finger. Sometimes I'll be typing and it will go crazy and highlight buttons back and forth quickly, usually two or three letters almost always off to the left side of the screen. When this happens I am unable to get it to stop or register any other screen presses. I have to press the power button and then press it again to wake it and I'm stuck at the unlockable lock screen. Only after repeated attempts does it finally get through and the problem will go away for a while, only to come back later.
I have used the program 'Dotty' to track the touch points and I noticed that it will sometimes show a multicolored touch point off to the left of the screen and it will jump around, and it won't detect any other new touch points.
Soooo I think my screen touch sensor is messed up somehow. Does anyone else have this happen? Seems to have started when I flashed the kernel to get rid of the 30 fps cap. I have recently flashed Fresh 3.1.0.1 and still have this problem, different kernel with that rom correct? I'll try to get a video up sometime to show this in action...
Yes, I've been having the exact same issue. I even did a hard reset, with the assumption that it was an app. My plan was to add them back slowly until I got the issue, the problem was it happened as soon as the phone rebooted on the reflash. I have no idea what the issue is, but its very frustrating.
I'm running 2.2 stock...
Some people have reported touch screen problems with netarchy's kernel. There is usually a revision to correct this problem for people who are experiencing it. I suggest you carefully read over the OP in that thread and determine what kernel is right for you. There is usually a version specifically for Fresh users also.
MIGHT i ask what widgets are you running??
i talked about it before when running the pre-official ota rom.
it was my htc music widget (half sized one) i had running on the home screen.. caused lag like a mofo, couldnt swipe most of the time, capacitive buttons wouldnt react, pressing the app drawer button wouldnt respond till 5 seconds later...
AS A MATTER OF FACT.
im running fresh 3.1.0.1 + latest kernel + music widget on home screen.. LAAAGGG like before. removing it makes things snappier again.
YEP. Its happening again.
when i ran the STOCK Official rooted rom, with music widget on home screen didnt produce this lag and poor touch input, even with kernel it didnt produce this problem.
Mine is fine, no screen problems!!! stock rooted rom!!
The phone has been working very well, no problems of any kind. It is rooted and I'm using Go Launcher along with Widget Locker for the lock screen.
I just updated the Widget launcher application and everything was working just fine.
However, the last time I woke the phone, the display was bonkers. The lower 1/3 of the screen was grey, over writing the icons for the functions located there on the home screen. When I scroll through the home screens, the lower 1/3 continues to be greyed out. However on close inspection, the underlying icons can bee seen and are activated with a touch as normal.
The overwriting seems to be somewhat of a repeat of the top 1/3 of the screen. With the moto lock screen there is a digital clock displayed in the upper part of the screen and that is showing up in the lower third also.
This greying out is more like a Ghosting effect. The screen also has a general background flicker in the upper section that is not greyed out or ghosted over. I did nothing like dropping the phone or dunking it. This does have what I would somewhat characterize as connection issue. BWDIK.
Does anyone have any idea as to what could have caused this to pop up as a problem? The new version of Widget Locker seemed to be doing just fine and I had configured it to take more icons in the ICS default theme. Everything was going great until it suddenly was not.
Suggestions or accounts of similar problems would be appreciated. I sure hope there is a cure. The phone has been great and darned capable. I'd hate to have to change it out.
Reboot your phone.
If that doesnt work, make a backup in Clockwork and wipe data.
If that doesn't work, it's hardware related.

Thanks for the help.
Could you be a little more specific as to how to make the backup and then restore?
I've restarted the phone several times. That won't clear it up.
Download droid2bootsrtap>install>flash recovery>reboot recovery
Scroll to backup/restore (use vol keys select w/ camera key)
Select backup, let it do it's thing
Select wipe data
Reboot
Thanks for the additional help.
That did not seem to get the job done for me. I still have the problem with the top third of the screen being displayed again as an overwrite of the bottom third.
One odd thing did occur while I was working on this. I had the phone connected to the charger. It was in "sleep" mode with a dark screen. I picked up the phone, pushed the wake up button top. and at the same time I disconnected from the charger. When the screen first displayed it was displaying correctly and clearly with no overwrite. I don't believe I have a failed display in the sense of dead sections or pixels. It seems that there is some cross connection in how it is being addressed so that the upper one third is being written twice, one of those being an overwrite of the lower one third. The icons that should be showing in the lower third dispaly are visible through the "fog" created by the overwrite.
I have contacted the local smartphone Mr. Fixit and ordered the new screen. The problem may be deeper than that though. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I like the way the phone operates and am getting to understand it after about a year of working with it. It is rooted with the handy WiFi tether operating, along with a few simple customizations. It would be great to get it sorted out as I don't want to go the upgrade route at this time.
Have you tried reSBFing? I had a similar problem, except the lower 3/4 of screen went black. Got an insurance replacement, but when i was wiping my old phone, i SBFd, and the screen worked again. Granted, i still had to send the phone in, so no idea how long it would've lasted.

Nothing to do with SBF'ing. The phone is rooted, and it worked the first time, several months prior to the problem.
I finally got the screen replaced and that part is working well. Nice and bright with no ghosting of another section. However, I now have developed a problem with the dialer turning off the screen when the call starts dialing. No capability of using number pad or even hitting the End Call button. Returns to the default lockscreen when call ends from a disconnect on the other end. still a great mystery.
Question: how's your camera working?
