I love this phone but this crashing its doing my head in. Ive heard so many people have this issue but no ones knows how to fix it. What happens is...
You recieve a txt you press the on button you swipe the unlock and it just sits there doing nothing. You have to pull the battery out and its a tad annoying when you have to take the case off to get to the battery cover.
I think its the HTC sense causing this as ive taken it off and im using spb mobile shell 3.5 and its working ok
Any help would be very grateful.
Cheers

Can't say fixed completely, but it's much better after performance tweak
I can't say that my TMOUSA HD2 never crashes anymore, but I get much better performance with very few crashes after implementing the following registry tweak which comes from the 3rd sticky link on the HD2 General page. Also, even with the tweak, SMS performance is not fluid:
*Leo Hints, Tips and Registry....
37. Boost Performance:
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS
Change - CacheSize to 4096. Works for some and not for others though.
I have not flashed my ROM and do not plan to do so for some time because I don't want to get off of the stock ROM until I see a few more bugs worked out.
Please let me know if this registry change improves the crashing behavior because I might increase the CacheSize another 1 MB to see if the performance improves.
HTH
PS: I meant to also mention that my phone was doing the exact same thing as yours. I went back to TMO and they said it should probably be replaced but they didn't have any in stock and they didn't know when they were getting anymore in. After reviewing many of the posts from new purchasers (including yours), I think the new phone will have the same problem and the only way to fix it will be for the MFG to post a hotfix. So rather than losing the few apps and customizations I have already made, I'll just struggle along until a hotfix comes out.

thread in HTC Diamond subforum.
Tried this one on my Xperia and well,
when i get incoming call and press answer key, it starts transmitting my voice faster then original Xperia phone program,
but it has no feature to fast search for contacts by typing numbers in.
And it freezes my phone, when i have Phonex open (when i search for contacts or other) and i try to call someone, the call goes through, but instantly freezes my phone, so i have to take battery out.
Problem might be that i haven't uninstalled the original phone program, but i don't know how to do that.
I started to wonder, what program is the FASTEST for answering incomming calls ? Any ideas?
Btw, i'm new in this forum, so HEY!
I have Xperia and i want to get the most out of it.
I had HTC Diamond but didn't like it, so i returned it after 6 days of using it.

I have a french Xperia with an english version of PhonEx & when I click on the left button to open the dialler, PhoneEx appears but locked, I have next to click on the closing cross at the upper right to clsoe the PhoneEx Dialer !
& when it starts the first time to be loaded in memory, I have a crappy screen
Who has also these issues, otherwise, it is a really beautifull application, if soemone has a workaround for my issues, I will buy a license I think.... I already reported these issues to IconSoft
I have the same problem

Ouf, I fill more confident to know that I am not the only one guy having this issue :lol:
By the way, I hope that IconSoft will fix quickly these two bugs & that you have also reported this issue. More they will receive feedbacks on this issue, more they will be able to classify the urgency level of fixing it. For sure, if they fix these two issues, I feel this product as the next winner apps on WinMo....
I also have the same problem with my HTC Touch Pro (Rapheal) with Phonex 1.2 when pressing the phone button. Got it to work temporarily but turning on inesofts dialer then OFF then going back into phonex settings and saving, but its speractic. still hangs.. Great new features in 1.2 but this hanging issue is getting on my nerves.. They just need to work on these two issue ALONE and not try to add more features and release a rev with these fixes.
I am using it for a long time and very impressed of quick and smooth work, very useful application!
In my experience, the Touch HD Blackstone Dialer (here is a lot faster than the Xperia dialer although you have to slide to answer.
Haven't tried any other dialers.
FYI: I had decided to hard reset to see if Phonex 1.2 would exhibit the same behavior, it did not. THen I restored from sprite backup and began uninstalling apps and or disabling them, Today I discovered after disabling memaid (DinarSoft) service / auto start that implimented its speed enhancements for memory on reboot low and behold PhoneX 1.2 Did NOT Hang any more..
I have not tried rebooting again to be sure it stayed stable, but thought I'd mention it..
Also I UNinstalled Mortscript and related scripts I had running.
Would be interesting to see those of you who do have the problem were running these or similar applications and if disabling them resolved the problem.
Good Luck..
High CPU usage
HI,
I have another problem with the 1.2 release on my Xperia. After installing 1.2 my battery drains much faster. After a look in MemMaid I see that PhonEx.exe is between 3,5-9% CPU usage 90% of the times I check.
I have talked to Iconsoft and the are aware of the problem om some devices and it will be fixed in next release.
Next release (1.3) is scheduled for release within 1-2 weeks which is good news. They also mentioned that some new features will be implemented, like "Slide to unlock" in the caller ID screen, jippi
id agree with xperian above , the hd dialler is a better alternative.
as is the yota dialler (which unfortunately doesnt have slide to answer)
i tried this app and didnt like it, i also dont like their cheap and nasty attempt at marketing by encouraging users to spam forums
A simple but important question:
Do You changed your original ROM to a self-made?
Yes?
What ROM did You use? (Link would be fine)
why You flashed your ROM?
do you experience more performance?
known problems?
would You recommend it?
No?
do you think about doing it?
bad experience with doing it?
Yes, I changed.
1. Touch of HD 2.2 Full Edition.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
2. Because I had to choose one and this seemed to be good choice. (And it was!
3. Yes, my hd seems to work faster.
4. So far I haven't noticed any problems. Sometimes the device won't show thumbnails of pictures in file explorer but it's not a big deal as you need just to change folder and all is fine.
5. Yes, it is worth testing. You should not be disappointed.
No:
1. I do think about changing rom but since I have customised and performance tweaked my HD already I wonder what a cooked rom will do. I know a cooked rom will likely perform better than official but what about a tweaked official with all your customisation and performance tweaks. What's the advantage?
2. Not tried yet.

Exactly my opinion! This post could be mine
What's the advantage? Want to know it too, thats why i opened this thread!
Not YET, but I will later. I would like to be completely familiar with the stock ROM first in order to be able to have a good feel on whether there is improvement.
Honestly, I'm so satisfied with the stock ROM already. Don't seem to experience the problems that some describe, such as it beign slow, etc. I have no freeze after about 10 day of use so far, I find it very very fast.
I do want to flash a cooked ROM because I hope to see improvements in a few areas:
a) inability to make SIM contact hiding registry change stick. I understand that at least one of the cooked ROM has fixed this.
b) occassional stutters in music playing. Not sure if this problem is fixed in cooked ROM.
c) When selecting album, the storage card entry will show up only after I have selected ALL, wait for a while, then go back to reselect. Even then, the Storage Card entry does not always show up. Not sure if any cooked ROM has fixed this yet.
d) I don't like having the battary icon on the TF3D taskbar. I like it to show the date/time instead. Not sure if cooked ROM has fixed this.
e) The standard ROM has switched off the screen orientation UI switch. One needs to switch it on before we're able to assign Rotate Screen to a hardware key. I understand that at least one of the cooked ROM has rectify this.
f) I never like HTC task manager, and had always used Wktask in the past. If the cooked ROM uses Wktask and disable HTC task manger on today screen, I would consider it a plus.
g) I don't like the default calculator skin either but I never use this simplistic calculator anyway. Having a proper skin is nice though. After trying out Panomaric Calc, I think I'm going to stick with it.
h) I wish pressing hardware button twice does not result in dialing the last dialed number as it does now. I know we can lock the device to prevent this from happening while the device is in our pocket. However, once the phone is unlocked, it is easy to dial the last number without me realising it. I wonder if any of the ROM addresses this issue.
i) TF3D color. I wish we have an easy way to frequently change color for every tab, not just the home tab. I also love to see the 3D glassy taskbar and bottom bar back. If anyone know of any ROM that has that, please share here. I know I can flash all of them and find out for myself, but would be nice to know from those who have already tried.
j) I wish the TF3D music program is able to assign songs to a playlist more efficiently. ATM, I have to show the music on the screen, then click menu/add to playlist. This is too laborious. Or perhaps there is an easier way that I'm unaware of?
That's all I can think of ATM. I'm sure it's a matter of time before some of the cooked ROMs make these improvements.
So, I definitely will flash, but don't know when and which ROM yet.
1. Dutty's v1.1 HD Rom
2. Because I'm a flash-a-holic, and Dutty's been making incredibly fast and stable roms for a long time. Based on new 1.19 official rom, which has bug fixes and Dutty has tweaked performance.
3. Hard to say. Except for the annoying freeze problem, I've been fairly happy all along. Mainly, I trust Dutty -- the hodge-podge of settings I was using didn't seem as stable.
4. Only one - once in a blue moon, closing a lot of programs individually & sequentially from the home screens top right task manager button will freeze the device. Another user said this was reproducable, and Dutty is tracking it down...
5. Oh, heck yeah!
In conclusion i must say, that im not convinced yet...
Someone who knows the device good enough should just Hard reset the device and customize and tweak it for his own, with the applications he or she likes and the tweaks he knows (!). This way he or she will get a device completly known by the user.
BackUp this state so you can go to it back everytime you want. TADAAAA you have YOUR personal perfect device ROM
Hi there,
i recently upgraded to the wm6.5 (21500) and i absolutely love it.
But i experienced some rather unpleasent slowdowns and temporary freezes when browsing the web/switching panels or writing messeges.
Sometimes the phone won't give any reaction for about 10-20 seconds and after that the CHome menu is lagging and the overall performance is really bad for some time.
I think this happens more often when turning the screen.
I tried several cache setting which did not solve the problem. other than that my chaches are optimizes for better performance.
Because i did not find anything useful about that i am asking you:
1. Am i the only one with that problem because i screwed something or is it "normal" on wm6.5?
2. Is there any way to fix it/any good "pure" wm6.5 rom?
Haven't had problems with WM 6.5 except for a few bugs with the CHome items that sometimes got screwed up, but no performance related issues. I actually thought it was faster/smoother than other 6.1 ROMs I tried
What ROM are you using?
I had 1.01.W4X.23-BB...and I say had cuz my phones out for repair
Thanks for your answer.
That is exactly the ROM i am using.
My Memory is always around 40-50% full, which seems quite ok.
I don't know what may have caused this... maybe my customized CHome.
I actually don't have any exotic software installed. Just some CHome customizations (switching off CHome won't change anything) and no performance-eating software.
I found out that the performance goes way down when entering a program (like calendar) and typing something into a text field in landscape mode (with the hardware keyboard). When switching back, it is all stuttering and even sumtimes theres the bottom bar in the middle of the screen like in vga mode.
If i just knew what the cause is. I don't want to hard-reset again xD
Ok so i just bought my new HD2 Just arrived last week, And Yah its freezing like most are, I have heard numerous fixes to this I guess flashing Roms or installing apps. I dont know if this thread is in the right category, but can someone help me fix the phone so it doesnt freeze everyday when i use texts and run smoother overall? I dont know how to flash roms or tweak any of these replies can someone help me please? I tried Custom window home tabs app but it got rid of the home screen so i took it out.. please someone help me .... i have yahoo, aim and msn messenger email or just reply on here ? thanks guys
try HR-hard reset.
1.turn your phone off
2.press and hold volume up&down buttons same time and turn your phone on
it will reset and restore it to the factory settings
This should help
I was in the same position 4 months ago... it's a steep learning curve!
In no particular order:
1. Get your phone and PC hooked up with activesync.
2. Learn how '.cab' files work - you basically just transfer them to your phone (I use activesync) and run them to install various things.
3. Get Resco Registry - this is a registry explorer which I find very intuitive and useful for changing registry values.
4. Have a look around this site, notably the tweaks threads, and see what you like.
5. When you are comfortable with the handset, look into upgrading your ROM. I started on Vodafone 1.43 ROM, but have since upgraded to Vodafone 1.66 ROM. It is very easy to upgrade to official ROMs (at least it was for Vodafone) - I image the manufacturers will give you a step-by-step guide.
6. Get Cookie's Home Tab!
Can you tell what ROM/Radio/Manila version you are currently on?
(Go to settings/about phone/software information)

I don't know where you got the idea that most phones are freezing, because if that was the issue this phone would not be nearly as popular as it is.
* If you got the phone from your provider go to them.
* Try a hard reset, make no changes (tweaks, software installs) and see if the problem is gone. If so then something you did is causing the problem.
* Find a stable ROM in the development forum and learn to flash, it's very easy.
Just finished the new ROM update, few things I have noticed, maybe there are solutions, ive read have not seen them addressed to a point that I understand.
Have not had a chance to interact via sms, but I normally type using the phone pad, and man they messed it up, i have to go half the speed as before, very laggy on that part, any way to have a cab that will revert back to just the typing? I know the update was to fix the OS selecting the last message, and you had to click on the type area to see what you are typing, but before I could type at normal speed on the old OS.. any thought, in simple words on how to achieve this?
I know they have changed the way things scroll up and down when your looking at lists.. its more snappy and some times very choppy or almost like it gets stuck for a moment and then jumps to end.. especially when ur scrolling on a small list. and read the top or bottom, before it slow down and come to end, now it snaps, is there settings for that some where?
Thank you
basically what you are experiencing... is the touch screen sensitivty that has been screwed with by t-mobile tech department....
for some reason.. people on these boards "claim" that it is a improvement, although the majority of it's users who have downloaded the new update has complained nonstop about this certain issue... basically what had happened... was they were attempting to fix something that no one had a problem with... they screwed with the sensitivity so that it would be more pleasing to previous Iphone users/ Casual movile users...
some people seem to disagree with me on this issue (for reasons I CANNNOT EXPLAIN... I call it ignorrance....) but the FACT IS... the screen is MUCH MUCH worse then it had been prior to the update... and what proves my statement even more... is that T-Mobile themselves has removed the update from their own website... stating that they released the rom with many errors and bla bla bla... the whole update was a mistake.. THANKFULLY.. we do not have to use some cheap alternative and hack the registry to get our p[hone screen back.. it's gonna come back fixed after they update their own update...
so yea.. just "deal" with it temporarily... we'll get an "official" fix soon

great, so now i have to wait for them to do a new update, to then reinstall it and then spend another 30 min reconfiguring my phone again to my liking since there is no settings/ email settings slash phone set up back up system like nokia has.. wonderful,
has any one noticed that when you looking at example a long list of items that you want to scroll a tad bit it lags a bit.. like studders when moves, if u go full scroll or fast.. it moves fine, but slow scroll its choppy?
yes the new typing is very messed up.. very..
perhaps you misunderstood my reply... but yes they have noticed changes in the scrolling... (which is due to the screen sensitivity....) not quite sure how you missed that.......

I saw on a diff thread which I cant find now, a cab that allows you to edit the reg files and control the sensitivity of the buttons, any thoughts on that?
or possibly installing the sensitivity cab from the old build?
is that possible?

The sensitivity cab from the old build will reduce sensitivity, and isn't recommended on the new rom. The thread with the sensitivity tweak for the new rom is now a sticky at the top of this section, but here's the direct link:
