I just got this HD2 phone for about 2 weeks and are having some problems with it. The problem most troublesome to me was the non-responsive or even frozen screen. When I made phone calls, I could not get the Keyboard and End Call "soft" buttons respond to touches - actually, all soft buttons on the screen froze. I could only end the call by pressing the red hard key. I need the keyboard to pop up to enter the PIN/code to access my voice mail.
As a matter of fact, the HD2 screen often times is very sluggish and even non-responsive when I browse web pages or a few pages deeper into some program pages (i.e., a few further on provided links). A recent example was when I installed a .cab file, and was asked where to install it: Device or Storage Card, I had to try more than 10 times to change it from Device to Storage Card!
Anyone has similar problem? Any suggestion will be much appreciated.
If you have BSB tweaks installed. Do a search. It's been talked about. But if not, then Might be a defective unit.
Yes I do have BsB Tweaks installed and per your suggestion I searched it and found "Screen Sensitivity" and "Phone Slide Cover" which I changed back and forth and they made no difference to my problem.
Again thanks to your suggestion, I did a few more searches deeper into other posts (I forgot there were many pages to search... and I tried using different combinations of key words) and I found the solution!
It was a post by bluenubian [OP] who suggested in another post to set "TAP time" on BsB tweak to OFF....well, indeed, "this helps another nooooob like me!" PROBLEM SOLVED!
Thanks to both of you!

Ok, I've been using Magic Button for about a week but lately i've been encountering some issues that seem to happen every day.
I'll have a few applications open, or through general use (phone, text, etc) there will be other things open. Sometimes when I go to close everything, or close the programs that I don't want to use/have open, I get stuck on certain screens (for example the phone keypad screen) and cannot return to the 'Today Screen' at all, even if I hit the little House icon or go to Start - Today. No matter what I hit, where I go, there are no running programs, I even close Magic button and still cannot get back to the 'Today Screen' until I do a soft reset.
How is this happening and how can I stop it? It's really annoying to have to do a soft reset whenever magic button screws up.
This is a cingular 8125.
Thanks.

Phew - I thought I was the only one. I seem to have a few funnies with MB on my O2 Mini. I think you will be able to get back to the Today screen from the Start menu option, if you have it there.
I've just put MB on again the other day, but I think I'll prolly take it off today.
No your not but i'm surprised more people haven't posted about this, I couldn't find anything when I was searching. How is this such a great program if you have to soft reset every day???
I tried hitting the Today option in my Start Menu and that doesn't do the trick either. Trust me i've tried hitting every program in the book only to just waste more time trying to close them all.
Anyone have a fix, solution, beta, anything?
I had the same issue but found that the red 'hang up' button would reliably get me back to the today screen
Hope this helps

I had the same problems so stopped using magic button. Try wisbar - same as mb but does not have those problems. Version 1 is free. For a simpler solution use smclose which just changes the minimize button to close button and of course there's vj okbutt which you can map to a button to close an app. (and smartskey as well!)
I've posted several threads about this problem, here and on Modaco. I find vBar is a bit more stable than MB, but even it has problems. I'm told InClose and SPB PocketPlus don't have these problems...
magic button acted funny for me, too, so I went to xbar. Another big plus with xbar (for me) is how easily it's accessed without having to pull out the stylus.
The first day i installed magic button it worked perfect. after letting the phone sleep all night it's gone crazy. All kinds fo freezing. Mine seems to have something to do with magic button being installed on the sdcard instead of in the main memory because it keeps telling me at startup that it can find the require files, even though it's running.
So i diabled autostart and tried just manually starting when i boot up and have had fewer problems. But still problems none the less.
I really don't like the fact that the close button is only set to either-or. It would be nice if we had a close button AND a minimize / put program in background button.
is there any program like this? I wonder how hard it would be to modify the source to do that.
Try the Cyberon voice speed dail, you can close a programm by speech. is on de MDA vario. no los off extra memory and no problems.
Magic Button
I have not experienced any problems at all with Magic Button and have found it to be the best Task Manager for closing running programs, and I also like the fact thast you get an 'active' decktop.
One thing I have noticed since I started running the new o2 ROM is that the Phone icon is ever-present, whereas on the previous ROM it did not stay on the screen permanently. Generally impressed by the speed of the new ROM, but not having any major problems with Magic Button.
I must be the only one who DOESNT have a problem with MB, I've had it since I got my HTC Apache without a hitch I installed it on the main memory and it seems to work quite well with allowing me to keep certain apps alive i.e. phone app, agile, etc.

just did the same thing, I had turned on the screen sensitivity one and the tap option right below it.
Change them back and you'll be ok. Not sure which of the 2 settings caused it, so you can try each and see which one is the culprit..
If you look it up on the forum elsewhere this problem has been mentioned before. You have to turn the tap time option off and your incall screen buttons will work.

yep, that's why I was trolling/searching for my issue and found his thread, but I figured it out mostly on my own...thanks for the tip, now I know which one was the culprit...
I am using the T-Mobile US version of the HD2.
Whenever I make a call the dialer screen stops responding to touch, that includes the entire screen, not only the dialer buttons (sometimes if I rub the button it will respond, but most of the times it won't).
If I press the home button during the call the screen starts responding to touch again, but if I go back to the dialing screen its stops working again.
If I end the call using the hard button the dialer screen starts responding to touch again.
I hard reset the phone and the problem disappeared and then after a few days started again.
The proximity sensor works fine during the call and turns off the screen if I place the phone next to my face and turns it on again if I move the phone away from my face.
Anyone has a fix for this problem?
i had the same problem with one of energy's roms, but with all the flashing and different cabs, i never isolated the problem.
flash and rom and install your cabs one by one?
do you have bsb tweaks installed by any chance?
Same problem here, HD2 T-mobile dialer not responding
Same exact problem here.
Using the US stock HD2 T-mobile ROM with HTC sense Today's plugin disable (using spb pocket plus, phone weaver and Pocket Breeze instead).
Once I initiate a call the screen stops responding.
I used Kaiser Tweaks to change the dialer to the "Windows Mobiel Dialer"... now, the screen works fine, but when dialing a number I can't see any of the contact information. Also, with windows mobile dialer the proximity sensor is not working, so my face keeps activating buttons on the phone now.
Need help here!!!
I have BSB installed.
Also have many other cab's installed, so can't tell when or which software caused this.
Also, when tried to enable HTC sense again... the phone crashes... tooke me another 2 hours of reset'ing untill I was able to disable Sense and revert to windows 6.1 today's screen.
Turn off the BsB Tweak "tap time". That causes this problem.

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!
The HD2 dialer is working again
Thank you!
Any idea why the WM dialer is not showing the contacts?
The fix worked, but...
That fix worked, the problem is I like the tap delay setting. without it I launch programs by mistake almost all the time while scrolling.
I tried to play with the registry value the fix changes:
HKLM/System/GWE/Touch/Filter/Minimumtaptime
the initial value is 0, the tweak changes it to 30, I tried lowering the value all the way to 10 and still every time the dialer screen stops responding while talking on the phone. It works fine once the value is reset to 0.
Does anyone know how to change the tap delay and stop the problem from happening? The answer might be found if we know why does it only happen in the dialer screen? Maybe there is a registry value for the dialer that is causing a conflict.
Thank you johncmolyneux!!! Enabled this recently to see how it worked and noticed the dialer stop responding, searched the forums and found this. Thanks!
Works like a charm!!
thanks, been looking for that for a long time...
changed BsB tap settings to off, soft reset, and now the HD2 touch screen works again during a call, so I can use the speaker and dialpad
Thanks a lot, Worked like a charm for me! Strange thing to include that tweak in BsB though - maybe works for other models/ROMs..
Heartfelt thanks
I recently updated my stock ROM and encountered this problem. After searching the forums I found this solution. MANY THANKS Mr M!
Hi guys. I've been trying to search for this problems i've encountered on my X2 and i simply can't find any answers for it.
I have few minor problems which i want to ask.
1. My device keeps on charging even if the led image says that it's already 100%. I only assumed it is still charging because it is well written on its Status right above the led image.
Is this normal, and is there a way to fix this if ever? I'm worried that my battery gets overcharged if i wont to anything about this.
2. Sometimes my camera button fails to work. It happened several times now that when i try to activate the camera using its button on the right side the camera doesn't appear right away. Another thing, sometimes when i'm trying to take pictures and i pressed the camera button, the camera will just pause for a while and then green square boxes will appear on the screen. No image will be taken. Is that normal? or my camera is having problems?
3. I also noticed that the contacts are filtered by to view all contents (sim and device contacts) by default. I set mine to filter it to be able to just view the device contacts but whenever i open the contacts it reverts back to its default filtering which is "All Contacts". It is very useful at least for me to use the device as the contact's handler because my sim has limited memory and is divided into 2 parts. The first part is the one that appears and the other one can only be viewed if you disable the first part and make the 2nd part available by using the sim services embedded with it. So what i did was i copied all the 1st part and the 2nd part sim contents to my device and i was planning to hide them and use the phone's memory as the handler for contacts.
It was then that i realized the filtering problem. RIght now all copied contacts from my sim appears as well as the other part of the sim which is enabled. Which makes a lot of duplicated contacts (one from the device and one from the sim).
Is there away to make the phone permanently filtered in the device contacts?
4. I saw some of you guys teaching some members here to edit the phone's registry. Can i request for a 3rd party software to do that. Or can i just go directly to the mobile's registry and edit one of it (I don't know to do that by the way :-I )
5. Lastly, is there any way to activate the screen in order for me to unlock it? when the phone is locked and in stand by mode i can't seem to find any buttons to activate it. I am unable unlock the phone because the slide unlock button is not appearing.
What i'm doing to activate the slide unlock button is to press the power button or to slide the qwerty keyboard. I was hoping there are other ways to do it though just like on old phone wherein you can press the menu button and the asterisk key .
One last thing to end my post, please give me a Total Commander link too.
All replies would be very much appreciated sir/ma'am
To the moderators, please lock this thread if ever i violated rules. I just can't seem to locate any answers for my queries that's why i decided to created a thread with all my questions in it.

Thanks for the reply.
Hmmmmm, regarding my query on the contacts filtering, i'm sure there is a registry tweak to for that. I was trying to look for it last night but i wasn't able to locate it.
Perhaps there are geniuses here that can do that for us.
Registry Editing to make the contacts filtered on "device contacts" by default. The default by the way is filtered as "All Contacts"
I had a good look around before posting this thread, so if it's a duplicate, apologies.
I flashed the stock 3.14 ROM for Vodafone HD2 and I'm pretty happy with it, except the phone screen doesn't work properly. Everything else seems to be ok, and I like the extra buttons the new ROM provides on the phone screen, but when I make a call, the screen freezes so I can't use the keypad or the end call button. Is there a fix for this please?
Thanks in advance, as always!
A
maybe bsb
There is a setting in bsb tweaks that caused this on my phone...was "tap time" i think...took a ton of searching there is so much here on this great site...anyway i had to turn that setting off, and it fixed it instantly...before that nothing on the touch screen during a call would work...i think tap time was it, if it wasnt that it was one of the other settings in BSB...good luck
edit--from what i understand it is just a registry tweak, to prevent accidental clicking on links....it could be the current registry value you have set if you dont have bsb installed.
Just tried the BSB fix - it works, thanks!!!
Same here. I am sure glad that I found this thread!
I have noticed the onscreen end call button not working for a couple of weeks. As the other poster, inconvenient, but not a disaster, as I could use the physical end button to end the call. I wondered though, if something was wrong with my touch screen?
Then today, while on a call where you hae to choose from the damn menus, I pressed the onscreen keypad button, and nothing happened. I could not figure out any alternative way to open the keypad, so I could not complete the call.
When I got home, I first tried a Google web search, could not find an answer. But a search on XDA brought me here. Great to find this thread. Unchecked that option in BSB, rebooted, made a call, the keypad and end button work.
Now the question is--has anyone notified the folks who make BSB Tweaks, about this problem. If it is a problem that occurs with many phones, they should perhaps remove that option. If it is only a problem with HD2, and others find the option useful, there should be a warning that pops up, about problems with that option on the HD2.
It should probably be in the thread about BSB Tweaks as well, to warn HD2 users from checking that option. Has that been done already?
Sorry to be such a novice but what is BSB?

BsB Tweaks is a tweak app for Windows Mobile as is Touch Tools. Touch Tools is more spacific to the HD2 though. Go to HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 themes & apps forum and do a search for them, you will be glad uou did.
