Hello all,
last week I got my new HTC Magician, here in Austria so called "T-Mobile MDA Compact". Unfortunately I have the problem, that my device freezes from time to time (at least 1 time a day). This happens most of the time when using the T-Mobile IntelliDialer, but sometimes it happens even when I do not use the device at all.
When the problem occurs, I am not able to make or receive a call, the upper status LED is gone as well (no signal, no blinking).
When I got the device I had ROM 1.13 installed, but after I heard that maybe this could cause the problems, I installed version 1.12 from T-Mobile site, but still have the same problems.
Now I am really out of ideas, don't know what to do. It seems I am not the only one with this problem, so I am afraid it hase no sense to switch the device with a new one @ a T-Mobile shop. Or do you guys have a "good", normal running Magician w/o this bug?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Greetings, Matthias
Helle again,
As you've got the same problems on rom 1.12 & 1.13 and you got it just for a week I'd say go back and get another one. There are people with simular issues and I guess there are much more users without it, like myself.
So my advice use your warrenty, make a backup of your contacts etc. first with sprite (trial version is available) or AS or whatever, saves you a lot of times. I won't restore the apps just reinstall, maybe it is some combination of a faulty program & with a backup you get that back as well. And it gives you the chance to determine, if possible, what's causing the freeze.
Good luck, M
ok, then thanks again
Today I made a ROM update @ T-Mobile. If that did not the trick (I will look for errors the next days), then I will use my warranty and change the device itself. I hope they don't send it to technical support somewhere, but give me another one instead...
Greetings and thanks for your infos, Matthias

Hi,
I have been using my Magician for almost 8-9 months .. moving from ROM version 1.11 to 1.13 WWE BigStorage (radio 1.11 to 1.13 as well).Recently (last 1mth or so) I start to notice that I have a strange problem similiar to you, my 'radio' would 'hang' where I cannot receive or make calls, can't even receive or send SMS. However, my signal (the top bar signal strengh) will still work. This is really fustrating .. because the PDA still works, I won't know when my Magician 'hangs' ... (at least until I try to send SMS or make a call).
I've downgraded to Radio 1.11 & ROM 1.11 ... I'm still facing this problem, but not as often (sometime once in 2 days). The strange thing is that my wife who is using a Magician as well, is facing the same problem (symptom arrise almost the same time together). Both our phone used to be fine.
So far, no luck trying to locate the source of the problem, and I don't think both our magician's hardware got screwed at the same time ... I have a feeling, it has something to do with GPRS ... gut feel ... but cannot confirm.
Anyone face this problem and managed to solve it, I would appreciate any pointers ... Many thanks!
Note : I don't install additional ROM software such as CallerID, etc ... I only use intellidialer.
Hello, you could be right with your GPRS feeling, I have it as well...
Is the LED of your device blinking, when you have one of these freezes?
Hi guys,
Don't know if this gets you on the right track, but a few months ago I had major memory problems with my magician. Thought it was a virus, probably was one or two today plug-ins that consumed all of my memory very rapidly. Think of plug-ins like OO journalbar. Didn't look at the led blinking I just soft-reseted to solved the prob. for a few minutes. Very inconvenience when you're navigating in a car.
Since I ditched these plug-ins eveything is fine, tried them afterwards of course & noticed the memory leaks.
When you're not using anything like those apps. it must be something else. Maybe there's something on the forum.
Cheers, M
I thought about some apps or plugins as problem source too, so I refreshed my device without installing any additional app to it -- no success. So I still have these hangups, even if I have no tool installed...
Sounds like really s..tty problem.
Does the use of gprs or phone functionalities make any difference? what happens when you skip the ext-rom installation (hard-reset & soft-reset just before the customization kicks in) & go for basic WM2003, without all the TMO apps&branding?
M
... tried this allready, but without any difference, device freezes serveral times a day. I would say it's a hardware fault, can't think of another problem source.
Yesterday I spoke with a T-Mobile tech @ T-Mobile support. He told me, he is not aware of this problem and he always had "good" devices. And he updated my ROM to latest version...
Since I still have the problem, I will change my device now and see if this makes any difference!
haimat,
I think exchanging your magician is the best option, the techi might be right in saying he only encountered good ones. Haven't found much error reports like yours, so the rest must be good (look at the bright side). Hope you can trade it directly without any hassle & enjoy your magician for the rest of it's lifetime.
Found some people with a universal with simular probs. didn't read all posts though there were so many. So can't tell you how it ended, it's about a JasJas that hangs and hangs and ...
In the meantime good luck with the change of your device.
Cheers, M
I really think this deserves a thread on its' own.
I've been having some real crazy headaches and problems with my phone lately.
I updated my phone to TNT 5.0 with touchflo. I have WM6.0 with IPL / SPL 2.26. GSM is 2.25 and my OS is 6.0.0.0. I have no idea how to check what my radio rom version is... I am currently with Rogers in Canada. I installed lokiwizb to unlock this phone.
Simply put, I'm fed up. I get the "colnot.dll, clocknot.dll and repllog.dll" files all the time! What's wrong is that the "touch" on my phone is a bit screwy, either doing things late or not tapping at all.
The worst is that my phone either has poor or no reception at all! Forget about calling today, it just doesn't work. And I realised this week that I had dropped calls and calls that were just not picked up. Afterall having messages from days ago when the phone is on me is not such a good thing.
I've actually dropped the battery status plug in a while back because I had problems with that too.
What can possibly be wrong with the phone. I upgraded it to WM6 and put on cool roms to make it more appealing and in the process, it turned out to be a nightmare.
And CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME what that hard "tock" sound is everytime I hit a key???
Is there a radio rom I should install to get better reception? Should I downgrade back to some other rom, maybe even wm5? Is there a way to overclock (not over 240) my phone without any problems from the application? If it's not the htc rom, is there still a way to get the weather plugin? That is a really nice and useful item.
Please, anyone that could fix my phone is a champ. I'm just sick and tired of these problems.

Do a hard reset and your troubles will end. It works for me

Easy, 'GSM is 2.25' is your radio version presently installed on your phone.The most stable Radio Rom version commonly preferred is Radio Rom version 2.19.11 UK or 2.69.11,download and flash to check if you get a better reception a fewer missed calls.
As per other file pop ups,its better you reflash again and try the other latest TNT.1620 Series Professional and not the touchflo.hope you'll get a much better performance and no troubles or even try out the latest XMr5 Rom.For overclocking,download 'Batterystatus' install and use.
Cheers !
Revenge of the notifications!!!
Hey Zabra,
Thanx for your reply. I am trying to install the TNT 1620. But these notifications are very annoying. So far it looks good, but as far as performance goes - too early to tell.
Do you know how to at elast turn off the clonot, calnot and repllog notifications???
I'll try to install batt status now. Hopefully, it'll work better than the last time!

P.s. - what about registry edits? I would like to know if there are any that haven't been included on this rom.
I was on the phone with T-Mobile Support (611), regarding my HD2 and the issues that I am still having with this device. The rep. stated that T-Mobile is aware of the issues on the phone and that the 1st ROM update did not resolve them all and caused some new ones.
She stated specifically this new update would resolve the issue of the device hanging after you try to wake up the phone...also, the "unreliable data connection" issue is still prevalent (I still have this problem - and I have tried everything I can think of or read about). She stated that there are other fixes that they are working on to resolve with this new update.
I could not get a solid time frame, but she stated that it should be pretty quick, given that they issued the first one within a short time frame after the HD2 release.
Now, I'm not sure if this means an upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.3, but I wouldn't count on it. I just hope it is released soon. This device is so nice and so awful at the same time. Constantly I experience little nagging issues that make using this device such a hassle.
Have you tried just flashing it to one of these custom ROMs?
No I have not yet tried the custom ROM yet on the HD2. I like the way the T-Mobile ROM are, I just am getting fed up with the "unreliable data connection" BS. Also, the phone (since the ROM update) has been running slow and I don't think that is acceptable with the 1GHz snapdragon on this device. My only other issue is that the speaker phone stops working because T-Mobile added some stupid software to the device. If you dial 611, the software pops up and tries to solve your problem via webpage and stops the speaker phone from working till you restart the device.
While that is a short list of issues, they are major issues in using the device. But I think i will wait till this 2nd update comes out...if it does not resolve my issues, custom ROM here I come!
I belive flashing NRG will solve your issues It did mine.
Which issue did it solve? The data connection issue?
Data and freezing as well not to mention the phone just flies now. flashing a new radio fixed reception issue
well I will give it a try and see if it resolves my issues as well. I figure we have about a month or so before T-mobile releases the 2nd update. I know I will not be able to last that long with these issues. It is just a pain in the a-- to flash ROMs every day...I'm not into doing it all the time. I would like to find a good stable ROM and run with it. It just takes too much time flashing and reinstalling all those programs and changing the settings to where I like them all (too much work).
Like I said it is a shame, i really like this device on paper, but in the real world is just has some serious issues. I thought i would get a year or two out of this device when i bought it, now I am already looking to swap this puppy out. I'm looking to see what is coming down the pipeline. I refuse to go with WP7 (feels like the step backwards with it limitations as compared to WM6.5 - and i don't want a device that clones the iPhone of 4 years ago)
Anyone other suggestion on custom ROMs?
NRG 21911 is very solid and you don't have to flash everyday it has xda uc and pim backup witch will back up and reinstall all your software I did it yesterday in about 20 min. I refrain from flashing during the week. the the first time it will take about an hour just read all you can on it. 670megs free space on device 13gigs on sd and 300 megs of free RAM
I'm downloading the 23121 Cookie Dinik Glass version right now...I'll let you know how it works on my device. thanks for pointing me in this direction, appreciate it!
tmobile rep told me the same thing after I had a warranty exchange, she said to expect the update soon as there are alot of people experiencing problems with the current software. Although to be honest after running Android on my HD2 I dont think I ever want to use winmo again.
are you getting everything to work with Android? i did not think they have a fully functional Android ROM for the HD2 yet
They're all the same...
My biggest complaint is the bad data connection. Paying too much money for crappy connection. I can't even get connection in my lower level of my house. I think every carrier and cell phones all have their own problems. My two co-workers, one with Droid and the other iPhone have similar problems. Droid keeps freezing 2 warranty phone exchanges so far and iPhone looses connection frequently. iPhone guy wishes his would freeze so he could get a replacement. So it's not just me.
Help me please
So i tried to install android, and on gthe web it said i needed to install hpsl well my phone had it set to 2.10 they stated i needed 2.08 or earlier so i did it but the install still didn't work !!! How can i return my phone back to 2.10 and still get my warranty back

i read on pocetnow that android is being worked on on xda. seen a couple of post too, but there is always some component not really working. is there an official android post where all the kinks are worked out? i would like to switch if thats the case. thanks.
Wow is all I can say about that NRG ROM....it is great! does everything I have been looking for, no data connection issues since last night (I'll report back on this issue as time goes by). It's fast and very stable (so far, but hell I'm impressed), and I did not even use most stable version the 21911.
The UI is great, I love the three pages of app slot, everything is within one or two finger stokes this way. It also gets rid of the apps that I don't want (ie TelNav, etc...) but keeps most of the apps that I do want...I can always install cabs for the programs I want from the official ROM. Plus it has cooked into it all those sweet tweaks and settings. Great work, I'm not even waiting for T-mobile to release the 2nd update any longer.
Thanks gtrplr71 again for suggesting this custom ROM, it's so nice, I don’t even think I will be trying out any other ROMs.
I would not get hopes up of a 6.5.3 upgrade. Could you imagine the Technical support nightmare if they had to troubleshoot 2 different OS versions?
This is one reason I think Android and Linux will really take off in the future.

There's a HD2 Android section in the original HD2 area (euro hd2 section).... but it is a work in progress. There are still a lot of issues and kinks. It will be a while before it works as well as a native android phone. But the progress they've made is unbelievable. It's great having both winmo and android on my phone.

your welcome don't forget to make a backup with pim backup to your sd card and use xda uc once you get things settled. Have fun!
how does the xda uc work? i could not figure that out, when I ran the app it stated that i did not have that file on my storage card...but it appeared there somehow.
Also, the incall record does not seem to work at all. when i lauch it (after I connect or before I connect a call) all I get is a blank lined page (note pad page).
And, is there a list of the added and removed apps somewhere? I could not find it in the ROM thread.
As for the 6.5.3 upgrade from T-Mobile, i don't think it will happen either and right now, after trying the NRG ROM...I don't care. I'm not even going to try the T-mobile 2nd ROM upgrade. Now with Android comes along on the HD2 (fully functional) then i will surely set up a dual boot situation on my HD2. That is like the best of both world.
(xda uc)-you wont notice anything different It will run and monitor the phone for new settings when you decide to flash a new build it will auto run and import settings and apps.

tip = turn off second hand on clock in CHT misc settings sync errors happen if you dont
You can PM me if you need more help!
I believe there are significant HD2 users who have updated thier handsets with (official) ROM 3.14. Following your ROM update are you experiencing any bugs? If yes, let us report them here and simultaneoulsy suggest any solution (if so).
I have FIVE HD2 handsets, between me and my colleagues which we bought simultaneously (it was with ROM 1.48). Four of us updated to ROM 3.14.720.3 on 5th November and ALL the four of us are witnessing these similar bugs, which suggests that it is an anomaly with the said ROM 3.14.
I am listing few important such bugs (and possible solution) here:
1). "Weird scrolling": This is withnessed specially while scrolling programs (>Start). And it CAN BE CORRECTED with suitable registry tweaks. (Its here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629388)
2). YELLOW TINCH: Camera NOW has a YELLOW tinch, which is even more conspicuous with AUTO FLASH on. Also I observed that the picture quality is NOT appreciable if ISO settings are AUTO (as compared to ROM 1.48, with similar settings!!!). Lowering the ISO to 100, does help, however yellow tinch is not yet solved.
3). The Long Press End Key (power off) is many a times UNRESPONSIVE (actually it is responding with a significant lag), such that when we long press it once it does not respond however when we press it immediately again, it then pops up the power off menu.
I have already reported these bugs to HTC and am awaiting their feedback.
Whats your experience??
I have the weird scrolling.
Along with a camera problem posted in my other thread.
Read SMS messages still marked as unread. See my thread about this.
Also experiencing the sudden change of time, clock and date. Is working now after turning off all the automatic syncs described in other threads.

Either change the registry manually or download and run a cab file.
I used the goldCard to install it,besides the scrolling my WIFI is worst than before,I think I will install back the HSPL.Im going back home...to my previous ROM I think it was awsome.
My date set itself to October 2010;
Had a buzzing noise and then it reset itself;
Will not send SMS on first attempt - but is sucessful on second attempt.
Any ideas?

I have also upgraded to the 3.14 rom this week. Previously 1.48 original vodafone rom with hotfixes.
Everything has been perfect, no poor scrolling, no yellow camera.
However since yesterday I cannot the phone via USB. The option to select
activesync, disk drive, or internet sharing will not appear.
going into the usb to pc settings everything is fine.
But when I connect to several different pc's and with different cables they all say "usb device not recognised"
however the device charges perfectly.
Very odd. I have to keep taking out the sd card and putting it in a reader.
anyone else experienced this?
Alarm setting
The biggest thing i have found so far is the setting of the alarm, if i tap on the alarm tab on the home page it just flashes on nothing happens?. To set the alarm i have to go "Start-Settings-More-All Settings-Clocks & Alarms".
Also on the home page tap the time and nothing happens, they all worked on rom 1.66
Anyone have any fixes??
While listening to music with earphones, I cannot answer any call......When someone call me when I'm listening to music with earphone plugged in, after pressing the call button, nothing can be heard, nor the caller can hear my voice.
My Location Weather Not Updated!
Since I has upgraded my HD2 to the latest ROM version 3.14 and I start having this issue that is "My Location" weather not updating via GPRS, 3G and HSPA mobile network! Its only updating via WIFI! Others country weather was updated fine except "My Location" weather! Strange!!! Has been contacr HTC Customer Support and they just no solution to this and said will passed my case to the technical support team and get back to me soon!! I even bring it back to Vodafone Ireland and reported Network Problem. Exchange new unit for me but the problem still the same! was fine before with the ROM version 1.66 WWE! hmm..I am having wrong time changed issue too!! NEW not necessary GOOD and OLD not necessary BAD!
Thank the universe I did not upgrade to 3.14. Still on 1.66 and running smooth. Only issue is time jump but hopefully this will be corrected somehow sometimes .....................
A week or so after installing the 3.14 ROM I suddenly have no sound via the internal ear-speakers. Possibly a driver issue, but can't figure out a cause for this problem. I now have to perform my phonecalls with a headset.
Hmm, the update has been available for some three weeks now. Yet, the number of issues reported and their frequency seems rather low.
Could it safely be concluded that the bugs reported here are incidents rather than structural problems?
And how about moving back to the previous ROM should the new one appear buggy, is this possible at all?

Exactly the same behaviour here!
I bought my first hd2 back in March when they first launched. Somewhere down the line that hd2 malfunction it wouldnt let me use my camera, kept getting a error message. It would freeze on boot up screen. So I called tmobile and swapped it out... I receive this hd2 and all was well until the update. I updated and I started having sense problems sense will always refresh itself after I would tap into different windows and folders. And sometimes it will not refresh itself it would say sense unable to launch or something like that. And I would have to pop the battery. I reflash back to the original rom which was 2.14 i believe or 2.12 and im still having the sense problems. Ive flash a custom elglancia max sense and still a sense problem android mode works like a charm but its a battery hog. Is there a way to fix the sense problem that ive missed in anyone of these fourms

Had this as well, after some tweaking i got the PC (note PC) to update its driver for the phone - ie it(the PC) updated the drivers that was altered on the phone acc the new ROM.
Yes,
Again my alarm is not working. It was the same with 1.48, 1,66 and now with 3,14. Totally unpredictable!!!!
After flashing 3.14 the "BePolite" (Quiet ring when pick up) isn't working regularly. Usually, the first call after its off/on is going well, than function works from case to case (no dependence traced). Checked at RUS and WWE roms without any apps. Some people from 4pda.ru confirm such behaviour, some not.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Another interesting observation I have had is that while setting up mail accounts, when we setup any GMAIL account, its has IMAP in AUTO SETUP instead of POP3, which subsequently can not connect. To correct this, one will be required to setup the GMAIL account MANUALLY entering the POP3 setting as pop.gmail.com, as recomended by GMAIL team.
Is it that HTC has developed this ROM so carelessly such that they have done a typical "COPY-PASTE" error, while they would have ported the gmail seetings from their ANDROID based ROMS (which they may have developed for HTC Desire!!!), otherwise how else one would justify such an error??
Been having some problems with my HD2 as of late. If this is the wrong forum to post, please point me elsewhere.
Purchased original one via Mobicity - turned out it was a HK version. I dropped it and smashed the screen, so got a replacement one (purchased thru Mobicity again) under my insurance.
Not sure the origins of the second fone though. When it arrived, it was in Italian. Had to send it back to M/City to reflash it with (what I believe to be ) a WWE version.
Details on startup screen:
R 2.00.51.07
G 15.30.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
Have left the phone as-is after it was reflashed with an English ROM and returned to me. Has worked perfectly for about 8 months. Recent issues only occurring last 2 months or so.
Issues having lately:
* Randomly reboots itself - completely randomly. Sometimes, while not even touching the phone, sometimes while typing a text or browsing the net.
* Battery usage lately has been horrendous. Hard to pin an exact figure on it, but it's MUCH MUCH worse than usual, over the last 2 months.
* CONSTANTLY dropping signal & Data connection. I can watch the data/signal symbols switch from nothing, to G, to 3G, to H, and back again within the space of seconds. On occasions, when the data-conn drops out (but fone signal remains), I go into connection settings and find the Data Settings slider is switched off! I must manually go and turn it on again... which sometimes works, and sometimes fails to stay on.
I HAVE manually gone into the settings and told it to update to the latest data settings from my provider (Optus) and it always responds that I already have the latest settings.
Often, the only way to get data connection back is to manually reboot the whole fone.
Sometimes, while browsing a simple website on the fone, it will drop connection. I live in Brisbane. Optus advises Brisbane has absolute FULL coverage, until you start going outskirts. I can be in the city centre gardens (no big buildings to block signals) and still not achieve full "H" or even "3G" speeds... most times only achieving simple "G" speeds.
This is obviously not right I HAVE contacted Optus about this, and they suggest it is an issue with the phone, as they insist they have full coverage brisbane-wide.
I have also noticed, in the last 2-weeks or so, that Cookies Home Tab is not working correctly all the time.
On occasions - but not ALL the time - on my home-page CHT displays appointments that are already passed days or even weeks ago.
Sometimes, when adding a new appointment (either manually in the fone, or via the MyPhone website and synching), it will not display at all in CHT.
I know there is a new version of CHT, but some of the technical info on the website sounds like there can be issues with not correctly un- or re- installing it.
I've still got a couple of months left for my manufacturer warranty.... I'm not keen on reflashing with un-official ROMS until after that period has elapsed... then i'm keen to go for it. If that is my only option, then I will consider, but would prefer a "genuine" fix first.
Can anyone please offer some suggestions, hints, experiences ? I haven't been on the forums for months, and now the HD2 thread is some 10-episodes of 30+ pages, so I have no hope in hell of reading thru all that hoping to find an answer.
Suggestions please for possible reasons, or fixes, or a different WWE English ROM to flash to ?
Note also: My serial number does not appear to be Asian in origin. I have tried to d/l the Asia Pacific, the Worldwide, and the HK latest ROMS... but it fails upon serial number. I have not tried, but I assume my fone is Italian model, hence any ROM that I flash must be d/loadable from another source, not the HTC website.
Please also note: I'm not - at this point - interested in running Android, so (without wanting to sound ungrateful) if any help could avoid suggestions of that nature please.
Thanx in advance for any assistance.

Been having some problems with my HD2 as of late. If this is the wrong forum to post, please point me elsewhere.
Purchased original one via Mobicity - turned out it was a HK version. I dropped it and smashed the screen, so got a replacement one (purchased thru Mobicity again) under my insurance.
Not sure the origins of the second fone though. When it arrived, it was in Italian. Had to send it back to M/City to reflash it with (what I believe to be ) a WWE version.
Details on startup screen:
R 2.00.51.07
G 15.30.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
Have left the phone as-is after it was reflashed with an English ROM and returned to me. Has worked perfectly for about 8 months. Recent issues only occurring last 2 months or so.
Issues having lately:
* Randomly reboots itself - completely randomly. Sometimes, while not even touching the phone, sometimes while typing a text or browsing the net.
* Battery usage lately has been horrendous. Hard to pin an exact figure on it, but it's MUCH MUCH worse than usual, over the last 2 months.
* CONSTANTLY dropping signal & Data connection. I can watch the data/signal symbols switch from nothing, to G, to 3G, to H, and back again within the space of seconds. On occasions, when the data-conn drops out (but fone signal remains), I go into connection settings and find the Data Settings slider is switched off! I must manually go and turn it on again... which sometimes works, and sometimes fails to stay on.
I HAVE manually gone into the settings and told it to update to the latest data settings from my provider (Optus) and it always responds that I already have the latest settings.
Often, the only way to get data connection back is to manually reboot the whole fone.
Sometimes, while browsing a simple website on the fone, it will drop connection. I live in Brisbane. Optus advises Brisbane has absolute FULL coverage, until you start going outskirts. I can be in the city centre gardens (no big buildings to block signals) and still not achieve full "H" or even "3G" speeds... most times only achieving simple "G" speeds.
This is obviously not right I HAVE contacted Optus about this, and they suggest it is an issue with the phone, as they insist they have full coverage brisbane-wide.
I have also noticed, in the last 2-weeks or so, that Cookies Home Tab is not working correctly all the time.
On occasions - but not ALL the time - on my home-page CHT displays appointments that are already passed days or even weeks ago.
Sometimes, when adding a new appointment (either manually in the fone, or via the MyPhone website and synching), it will not display at all in CHT.
I know there is a new version of CHT, but some of the technical info on the website sounds like there can be issues with not correctly un- or re- installing it.

Hi, I to have an HD2 in Oz from Mobicity - though never got an Italian version. To be honest, the only time I had an issues like those you are talking about was when I flashed new roms WITHOUT 'Task 29' first. Look it up. It kind of "cleans up" your phone inbetween cooked roms. But as you have only had Official roms on your phone, this might not be the issue.
To be honest, I don't think you Task 29 anyway until you put HSPL on your phone (this allows you to put cooked Roms on), but as soon as you do this, you void your warranty. Now you can take HSPL off before you send it back, but if your phone was to die BEFORE you took it off and then you sent it back, you'd be ****ed if they managed to power it up.
As you're under warranty, I'd send it back to be fixed and explain the fact that they had another rom on when you first got it.
Ra-ey
ps. You may want to quickly check online to make sure you are running the most uptodate Rom for your phone on the HTC website.
Hi,
Did u try hard-reseting your phone by pressing the volume up and down and the power button at the same time. Usually fixes many issues relating to yours. It might have been caused by a programs problem which corrupted main system files.

Thanx guys for responses.

Not yet, no..... will go through that process tonight. Was just worried that hard-setting it MAY end up back with the Italian settings (on the off-chance it still has an Italian ROM, but has just been set to display in English) ???
Can anyone identify the ROM details in my original post, as being WWE (I assume this means World Wide English?)
I cannot find anywhere that lists if those numbers mean WWE or English ?
Further to this... i just found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791436
This is almost exactly what my phone is doing too, so I suspect it may be the same cause.
One thing I forgot to mention in my original post here, is that sometimes, after the fone reboots itself, it fails to boot up again and all the handset buttons fail to respond. The little red reset button does not work either.
Doesn't happen EVERY time, but occasionally, the only way to resurrect the phone is to remove the battery for 30 mins or so, then reinstall and try again.
Obviously a very real issue - and it seems a known one - perhaps time to return for warranty fix or replacement.
Thanx all for responses in this thread - I will monitor the other thread now for further news.
when you hard-reset it reverts it back to the last rom you had, if it was WWE then it would reload that.
Remember when someone load's another rom on your phone it complete (kinda) erases the old rom and replaces it so there would be nothing that would revert it to the italy ROM.
R 2.00.51.07 (Radio Version)
G 15.30.50.07U (Protocol version)
D 1.66.76641 (ROM Version) could be anything
Usually the Italy ROM only has one language in the rom so my guess would be it has the WWE, by looking at the numbers above no-one would be able to tell you what you what rom it is.
Hope this helps

Thankyou mate.... that makes it a lot clearer
Will try the hard-reset method tonite and-reinstall only the apps (if it ok to use that term, for WM programs !!!) that I need.
Have also been given a link to the latest WWE ROM to flash, from Mobicity, so will hard-reset, to clear any crap, then re-flash with the new ROM.
Just curious... I know I should remove the memory card when resetting/reflashing (i'm not doing dual-boot with Android), but should I also remove the SIM card too? Eg: Get the background system installed and running, then power-off, insert SIM, power-on to get the network specifics up and running ???
My Guess
I have a Telstra HD2, running the latest Telstra ROM and CHT 1.8.5. The phone reboots regularly of its own accord. Seems to be related to overheating as the base of the phone is quite hot when it reboots. If the phone get really hot, it will not re-start (stays at white screen). Have had to put the phone in the fridge to get it to work.
I don't know if this is related but I have a cradle that I use to connect my HD2 to my work PC. If the HD2 is running SenseUI, after the HD2 was been in the cradle for a while, the HD2 re-starts. This does not happen if I disable SenseUI. It seems that the restart only occurs after the battery reaches 100%.
The restarting occurs with CHT 2.0 beta as well.
When I get a chance, I'll do a hard reset and see if that fixes the problem.
Cheers
Hmmmm....... seems to be a recurring issue with some of the "newer" phones. My original phone - before I dropped it and smashed the screen - never had any of the issues I'm currently experiencing
I've read somewhere on here that the rebooting issue is suspected to be from early-production snapdragon processors..... which SHOULD be an immediate warranty claim, in my opinion.
I will try the hard-reset, and then a fresh Official ROM install, to see if it solves it.
