Recently, my hd2 has been getting very, very hot and the battery is draining in a few hours.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is it going to be a case of replacing it?

Have a look at the processes. See if there are any abnormal processes that take up huge chunk of memory.
If problem still can't be identified, perform a hard reset. That should solve the problem.
Which radio are you using? Started experiencing something similar after upgrading to the 10.5 radio.

2.08.50.08.
Im going to re-flash, and see if that will help at all.
any abnormal heating means there'z enough current flowing to actually raise the temperature of the device, i cannot believe just allot of open apps are able to do that.
if hard reset doesn't solve, it's a clear case of waranty replacement
Maybe is due to storage card? Try removing your storage card or use another card.

Done.
I know for a fact my memory card has something wrong with it, it doesn't always work in the phone or my SLR.
But could it really cause heating?
I had the same symptoms that you mention: overheating, fast discharging of battery. The new memory card was to blame - I formatted it using the phone utility and voila!
try that and report if it helped...

Indeed, it worked
But now the phone is with Tmob being fixed... Backlight wont go off, at all lol
I'm having the same issue. My HD2 has all of suddent started heating up and the battery discharges quite quickly, from 100% to 15% in the space of 3 hours. I have tried a hard reset installing the ROM again (which I have done loads of times before) formatting my 8GB SD Card and also using the 2GB SD Card which came with it. Another thing which I have noticed is my Internet connection has dropped dramatically, I no long get push emails off my exchange server and send/receive of my IMAP email takes ages even on WiFi.
I have reported this to HTC already, I guess my next option is to report to Vodafone, good thing I still havent cancelled my insurance that came with the phone. Wonder if offered a replacement I would still opt for the same phone or go for one of the android HTC handsets, any suggestions?

This is starting to become a constant issue and very annoying that i have to turn my phone off and back on. Also it lags like crazy and yes i check task manager nothing is open. This phone is an amazing piece of hardware but has a terrible software built into it...WHy the **** didnt HTC fix these issues when they released it on T-mobile they had 9months...
do an experiment. Try taking out the Micro SD card for a day and see if it still is having latency issues.
Mine only does that because my sd card is full of music and gps software. So it's to be expected if yours is the same. I was told by HTC if I want to keep music on my phone I should have it on the phone and not on the sdcard. Because every time you plug it in or turn it off it forgets where the music is stored on the card and what music is on there and has to refile everything.
Yes, It's the sd card...it sucks!

Terrible Phone
My first phone kept freezing even after I Master Reset it. I did that 3 times. My sd doesn't have anything on it except for the preloaded pictures that were already there. To keep my phone from freezing, I have to "End All Task" every time i use it. It still froze. This became so annoying. Finally, i got fed up. I felt i got a defective phone. I went back to the TMobile store and got the phone replaced... Got my second phone.... was so relieved... for a few days only!!!! Until the second one got defected too. The vibrator stopped working and the weather sense thing was weird. It kept displaying a moon when it's like mid-day with the sun out bright and shiny. Browsing the web was hell. I Master Reset it.... same thing... today, I went back to TMobile to return the phone. Don't be fooled by the looks... the inside is rotten!
Windows Live/Hotmail.

I use to have freezing issues as well until I stopped windows live/hotmail from synching my mail automatically. I have my hotmail setup manually now. I've not had any freezing for several days now and I do not have to close ant apps with task manager. In addition, my battery life is greatly improved.
By the way, I am using the sd card that came with the device. Hope this information helps.
Thats the thing i dont have my email set up to automatic, i have gmail set up on manual...
My phone never freezes anymore. I upgraded to a ROM that gets rid of the HTC messaging client. Thank God!
I hate Microsoft's messaging client and i like HTC's client, so i don't want to turn it off but it is so slow if you have lots of messages.
my phone was freezing every day and even did a few resets and nothing. finally flashed a cooked rom and almost all the problems went away. i started out with energy's rom and that thing was crazy fast, no more lag at all. now im on dutty's (just because its oem looking) and its fast and problem free, phone never lags and never freezes on me like it used to and its just as fast as energy's. so i suggest that to everyone here having problems. since i was in the same boat. im still using the oem sd card also.
Suddenly and strangely my HD2 has been freezing and rebooting by itself for no reason (that i know of) and it heats up a bunch. My freezes generally happen when I go on YouTube, browse the internet, watch Transformers, or switch to Android.
I don't know what is causing this at all. I have over 10gbs remaining on my SD card and still a good amount of memory on the device so I don't know if it is a memory issue, I also always to task killer to shut off unused apps and keep a low display (both on wm and android)
I'm using the stock HD2 rom, all I have is HSPL 3 and for Android I'm using darkstone froyosense v3.2
If anyone can help me I will be extremely grateful

The first thing that comes to my mind is your battery. Does it charge normally or is the LED sometimes blinking from red to green and back? How about battery consumption? There must be something wrong with either your battery or the connections, because that causes the heat, certainly when you're using battery draining apps like YouTube, Android, etc.
Hope this helps.
regards, Kuzibri
Try and remove the memory card and see if the freezing goes away.
sounds like overheating, search here on xda, there were few threads on this,
in the meantime install BattClock and check if freezes happen in correlation to battery temp.
my HD2 did the same thing. I eventually had to get a warranty replacement. Mine would freeze on occasion and then it just froze completely. Doing a Task29 and flashing a new ROM did not help.
if all else fails your best bet is to get a warranty replacement from your carrier

Yeah, that's what I'm considering doing.
As for connections, I've noticed that my input socket on my phone for my usb charger cord isn't grabbing the cord as it should. when i charge my phone the cord easily disconnects and wiggles around
I have an HD2(of course)...i have tried many many roms but am stuck with the same issue..I have random freezing issues..i have tried different radios, different classes of sd cards..tried adjusting the vm heap. but to no avail..i am currently using frankenstine rom it seems to be the smoothest but i still have freezing issues..when this occurs i can only pull the battery to reset it and sometimes when i do this i must pull battery 3-5 times to get it past the magloader screen.
i have asked this question in many of the rom threads that i have used but have never gotten a clear and definite fix..can someone enlighten me on how to cure this issue it is really becoming quite frustrating.. thanks in advance to anyone..
When do you have these freezing issues?
When you're watching a web video? Playing a game and listening to music at the same time?
If so, it's cuz you've run out of ram, so your phone will lagg to death. So get a task manager to close those apps.
If not Iunno what your problem is.
Note: Try not to pull out your battery, instead use the soft reset button. If you keep pulling out your battery, you'll mess up the pins.

it doesnt seem to be specific on when it freezes..but usually when only using 1 program at a time..i do use task manager.i recently installed words with friends and almost every time i try to open it, it will freeze.

yes the last time i flashed i used task29..someone once told me it was my radio..which ive tried to downgrade to an earlier version but that didnt help either..
I think it's ram. Reason being, if it is from opening an app, it may be the app is using too much memory for it to handle, eg. mega jump is one
Never tried words before though, but it doesn't sound like something that uses a lot of memory but Iunno.
Do you use desire hd or z builds? Those leave very little ram left.

my current rom is a desire build..what build would leave more ram?
i am going to try yet again to reflash this phone and task29 it..
Any non sense build will give you 210+ ram free.
what radio are you using? had some freeze moments when i first started fiddling with android. upgraded my radio to 2.15 and never had a freeze ever since.

ok i rewiped, reflashed, task29'd it last night and thought everything was a-ok until a few minutes ago when yet again it froze. i cant wait till tmobile comes out with an htc phone with the same screen size as the hd2 but native android cuz ill be all over it..this crap gets old quick..i cant believe i am the only one with this unfixable issue.
did you also fully refresh you sd card? not much point task29'ing, reinstalling android and starting over if your sd card is still full of cache/droid system folders/EXT/Dalvik and what not.
that being said, if you have had the phone since way back last year, a good proportion of the early ones had freezing problems, regardless of rom.radio, and a quick warranty swap was usually the answer.

i did use the recommended panasonic formatter..and also the cmw format,dalvik and cache wipe...
your other comment kinda makes sense..i have had this since i think February of last year.
so after speaking with tmobile, and actually reflashing windows 6.5 and having it freeze on me twice and today it got stuck in a reboot loop, I am getting a new HD2..i sure hope this one does not freeze as much as my current model..if tmobile would come out with an android phone with this big of a screen i would switch.
That was too bad experience for me. I noticed today that the apps I moved to sd card, wouldn't respond and they also disappeared from the programs list but they were listed in remove programs list. So, I went a step further and looked at the contents of my sd card just to discover that everything was lost and returned to factory default folder configuration. All my photos, music, etc. are gone. The card isn't dead but only erased. It still has some folders but I assume they are the default data folder that were created when the programs are accessed.
Now, I removed the battery today without shutting down first. Could that have caused the problem?
Any way to recover my data back?
You could try to recover them the the program "Recuva " its very good freeware. I'm pretty sure its windows only, best of luck.

I am currently running active file recovery and had no luck with quick scan. I am now running thorough scan but I don't think it will help.
nope, only folder structure discovered but empty. Too bad but it shouldn't be like that. Some corrupt files would be acceptable, but thw whole card????
As andy suggests I would try recuva anyway you've nothing too lose and it may work even where the other didn't.
Hmm, happened to me once on a crap sd card.. Had to reformat and suddenly the read/write speed drop drastically, around 150Kb/sec on class 4 card.. Luckily, i happened to keep my old class 2 sd, works like charm.. I think it had to do with the conditions of the sd card..
what did u do to yr card that made it happen that way?
like what the others said, try running it thru recuve to recover the files then run a scandisk on the card
As said, I removed the battery without shutdown or dismount. I believe that's what has caused the problem.

I don't think that's what caused the problem as i removed the battery a few times without shutting down and never faced this issue.
One time i got an error message and i could not access the files on the microsd. The solution was to run a checkdisk and fix any bad sectors.
I always backup my microsd at least once a week for a rainy day, i strongly suggest you do the same from now on.

+1, I have Titanium Backup, run a full backup (User apps + Data) every night and backup the card (using Simple backup on Ubunutu) as often as I remember then if i lose or damage my phone I can feasibly recover everything.
I was getting message from PC when I plugged my phone on USB from day 1. The message was that the card need to be scanned for errors and so I did that all the time. Last time I plugged my PC to cradle I got the same and the scan fixed some errors. If the battery removal didn't cause the problem then it should be that last scan. Maybe my card was faulty but not completely. It's the stock card.
Many users reported that their card died while they were using their DHD (most of them if not all got a Samsung microsd in bundle).
I use a SanDisk class 2 that i have for two years as it's more reliable and transfer speeds are higher than Samsung.

I know this but mine hasn't died. It has been doing this from the first day. It's working though. Can't tell for sure what has caused it to be erased but it was done in seconds.
Fortunately my photos were synced on the PC and so I recovered them from there.

oh this.
its likely caused due to when u mount yr sd card to yr pc and fail unmount it properly from the pc b4 disconnecting it.
Try photorec - if the data is physically still on the card, it will find it. No fancy interface but imo the best file recovery program out there

Hi my hd2 is on a stock windows mobile rom and has a huge battery drain, every 1 minute or so i lose 1% of my battery and even on standby its the same.
Please can anyone help!!!! I have just flashed a stock rom from sd and have nothing on it and it still does it!
did you flash another radio rom? battery performance has a lot to do with it.
formatting your sd card could also help.
I've tried formatting my sd card and have tried flashing many radio roms right now im on the latest one (2.15...) and still it does it.
well the latest doesn't mean that it's the best for you. it depends on your carrier and area. but this wouldn't result in such a high battery drain.
sorry i can't help you then. i would try to make a freash install with task 29 and everything and if it's still not better try another battery.
Ive tried everything..no one knows anything about it
Thanks anyways
Would appreciate if anyone else has this problem too?
Sounds more like your battery is on the way out. Do you have another you could test?
Yupp, i have 3 standard htc batterys and 2 of them are brand new and still it happens
You did not say how long you have had the HD2, whether this problem has occurred from the beginning, or had just recently started. If it's been that way from the time you got it, it needs to go back to the vendor/seller for replacement. If it has suddenly started, what has changed? Other recent threads here note that a change in GMail was causing problems with high CPU levels and fast battery drain. I believe you said in one response that two of your three batteries have this problem. I assume that one of the batteries does not. If so, it sounds like bad batteries.
Sorry i meant to say that every battery that i try, it still has the problem. And also i brought this phone (used) with no problems and i put android on it, one day it turned extremely hot whilst i put it on charge, then what used to happen was whenever i left my phone on standby (screen off) my phone would switch off. But then i changed my charger cable and that problem was fixed but now i have this problem.
In that case could be the cable not supplying enough charge to the battery, or the phone reading battery stats incorrectly. Other than that I'm at a loss.
Tried everything :/
Thanks anyways I guess its just time for the bin :/

Are you using Gmail? There have been a lot of reports about overheating and battery drain from gmail accounts. Evidently there was some change in the way Google handles their accounts.
Nope, not using gmail
theres nothing on my rom as i just flashed it.
if you flashed it new and the problems started at this point you can try to wipe the battery stats in cwm. don't really now what exactly that does but it's worth a try.

Yeah, im using a stock windowsmobile rom so no clockworkmod unfortunately..
oh right. there was something with windows on this phone ^^ sorry already forgot that.
Hi, did you try the following?
Switch off the phone completely and then remove the battery for approx. 15 to 20 seconds. Then put it in again and start the phone.
When I used this procedure the battery drain was normal again.
BR rainer
tried that still no luck :/
Take out the sim AND sd card. Maybe one of them is going bad.
