Hi guys, I tried searching and did not find any answers so I am hoping someone will be able to help.
A few weeks ago my HD2 (TMo US) was running great with CHT 1.7 and all other sorts of apps from XDA installed. When CHT 1.8 was released I took the leap as I loved v1.7 and thought v1.8 has got to be even better. I was right and all was perfect with the world UNTIL one dreadful day my phone froze when I was flipping through my pics with the Photo tab. No big deal I thought. Did a reset and tried it again to see if it was a fluke. To my dismay it was not and it happened whether I started the HTCAlbum app directly or used the Photo Tab. I thought it could be CHT 1.8 so decided I would wait for CHT 1.8.5 which was going to have all the bugs fixed. I did the ROM update to 2.13 and installed CHT 1.8.5 figuring a clean install would solve the issue. Sadfully that did not help. I did a hard reset again, DID NOT install CHT and Albums kept freezing after a few seconds. Sometimes I was able to get back into Sense but other times I had to reset the phone.
I figured it could not be CHT at this point but may be a SD card access issue. After another hard reset I formatted my SD card as that was where the pictures were stored. After loading the pictures back onto the card, I got the same results. I then moved the pictures from the SD card into main memory and same results. So some searching on the internet led me to a few post on HTCAlbums crashing but no luck in locating a fix. I also tried searching for a HTCAlbum cab file with no success. Just to be clear, nothing happens when accessing the SD card in any other way. I can read/write/browse in any other program as much as I want as fast as I want with the SD card or Device memory. Other pic viewers work flawlessly as well. Only when accessing pics with Albums causes the problem whether on the SD card or Device Memory so I am lead to believe something is corrupt with the HTCAlbums progam/files.
So after this novel I have two questions:
1. Do all the files on the phone get recreated with a hard reset?
2. Does anyone have an Albums cab file they can share? (Chefs please help!)
Suggestions are welcomed
If you hard reset the phone mate it will send it back to when you first got it or flashed a new rom, so will be fresh it will delete all data,contacts, pictures etc on the phone so back up, I think HTC album will be cooked in and not available separately unless you ask in a ROM thread
That is what I thought but even after 4 different hard resets and a TMo ROM upgrade I still have this stupid issue.
I guess it's worth asking in the ROM forum or learn how to load a custom ROM.
Thnx...
I made a post about this very thing last week...
For 3 months my phone worked great Not a single problem, other than my stupid mistakes.
Then out of the blue the HTC photo album just started locking up. After countless hard resets, and reading some of the replies on my post, I thought it might be a bad pic file. I removed all the pics and it still locks up when scrolling through the pics, and sometimes when starting the camera. I'm at a total loss on this one. I hope someone can come up with something.
For now I am just living with it, because I really dont want to take the phone back and take the chance of getting a piece of crap referb that someone ells had even more problems with.
me too.
+1 funny thing is i didn't even know that we had an album viewer until i hit it twice on accident and it came up then proceeded to crash. i found anotheranother place that offered a cab but it wouldn't install so it was no help and now i can't find it again.
I flashed the 2.13 ROM again last night and now the freezing happens ONLY when the Albumsearcher.exe is scanning for images. If use the file explorer to open an image the Albums program will read from the image files no problem and flips through them quite fast from both the Device and the SD card. The moment I start the Albums program or the Photo tab and tries to pull up the thumbnails, I get an error message for either Albumsearcher.exe or HTCAlbum.exe and my SD card is not visible until after a soft reset.
I can't say it is a SD card access issue as it happens only with Albums or more specifically Albumsearcher.exe? What I do not understand is why after the crash the SD is no longer visible on the device?
i had the same problam , i tried new roms still keep hapening
my solution was task 29 and now it works like a charm
if you do task 29 back up everything
and do you r home work
hope that helps

you my friend
are leading me down a very dark path....lol
I started to read through the HD2 T29 thread and it seems it will solve my problem. This is what a hard reset should do in the first place. I still have some more reading before I take the plunge as I am not clear if I can use the tool without HSPL as my HD2 is all stock and would like to flash the stock 2.13 ROM. I also thought I read somewhere that if you flash a custom ROM you can't go back to stock. Does not seem right but I am heading over to the ROM FAQ threads so I don't screw anything up.
Thanks again bud for showing me the light
no worries mate , but according to my understanding if you install hspl it will avoid you r warranty
also have a custom rom downloded and the suitable radio allready insatalled
let me know if you want any more help il do my best to help you out
I will have to install HSPL and with 9 months left in my warranty period I think I can like without the Albums program. If I have more issues then I may change my mind.
That being said, I will take you up on the RESCO PHOTO offer. When you have the chance can you either post or email me the files? I will PM you my email.

The problem is with the sd card take off all your pics and save them to your computer. The problem is with the pictures sytored on the sd card, it causes crashes of the albums program. I went through 2 new phones,before that i discovers the common problem the same sdcard was used. I got rid of the pics and that fixed the problem.
hi i have attached the manila file with will tell the devise to open up resco insted of htc album, you will have to get resco your self as i cant give it to you according to forum rules sorry
copy the manila to windows directory and overrite exsiting file then soft reset
do this at your own risk , this has been confirmed working by me and other users where i got the file from
always back up the phone before modyfing anything
ps
and also put this the windows folder
you wil have to extract the file out of the zip
Thanks for the files. I found the RESCO app so no sweat. Rules are rules

I got my htc cruise about ten days ago. Camera was working fine.
But four days ago, i got the message the camera could not be initialized. I read on this forum that it sometimes helped to remove the battery for about 15 minutes. So that's what i did. And guess what, it worked for about 1 day
Then i kept getting the message the camera couldn't be initialized. Removing the battery didn't help anymore.
Then i hoped a hard-reset would do the thrick. Windows reinstalled and everything went fine. But now the camera icon is missing from "Programs". I tried to start it by going to the photo album and pressing the camera icon. Nothing happened. Then i use file explorer to go to the exe file. I found the camera.exe file, i tapped it but nothing happens.
Anybody have a solution?
Return it asap and get a new one
Camera issue
Hello,
I got this problem 5 days ago too... Very strange! Tried most of the procedures said here in the forum and none worked. The weirdest thing is that the camera just stopped working from one day to another, i clearly remember of not installing anything during those days.
I am very pissed about this issue! My problem is bigger: I bought it at UK while travelling and currently I live in Brazil (no support center around here).
Do you guys really think that its a hardware problem? How can that be if some other people already said here in the forum that a few days or weeks later, the camera went back on?
Anyone else can help us with this issue?
Regards
Try that one, worked everytime the issue happened for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391455
Thats quite strange! My Storage Card is 40% free...
My problem is bigger now... After 2 weeks of "could not initialize" issue, my camera simply doesnt start anymore... I tried to lauch the application directly from the camera.exe but it doesn´t work either...
Don´t know what else to do...
radio rom upgrade?
did you upgrade your radio rom to 1.64.08.21 ?
if your answer is "yes" you should downgrade to Murata radio rom (1.58.21.23) ..
don't forget to backup your data, because Murata Radio does hardreset after downgrade..
No. I use the original Radio ROM (1.58.21.23).
I dont wanna try to change the ROM yet in case I need to send it to service.
I tried to install the Nadavi New HTC Camera and didn´t help in any way. But I noticed that, after uninstalling this patch, the camera exe files went back to the old versions. I tried to uninstall them (the original ones) or delete them in the File Explorer, even in safe mode, and windows mobile wouldnt let me.
Kenhas, looks like Im in the same point as you (exe is not working either). Did you happen to make yours work?
Any other soul could help us in here? (btw thanks for the help given by everybody!)

have you tried to delete the /DCIM directory from your storage card and soft reset ?
if your exe is broken you probably need to hard reset.
I formatted my storage card (8 gb) and soft reset... no deal
My exe is broken now. Do you really think the hard reset now is going to fix it? Before I had the "unable to initialize device", now I don´t have anything
I installed both Microsoft Portrait and Coolcamera to try the camera, they get quite the same error.. something like "failed to get camera"...

I don't know if those tools share the same camera dlls, but if that is the case, a hard reset might fix things, otherwise, it means it is a hardware failure, and you will need to send your phone back to service.
FYI, when I faced camera issues, I installed the NADAVI WITH FIX cab for Kaiser , and that version only made the camera tool work again (although for me the rear camera was not working due to the storage card issue)
Maybe try installing that one first before hard resetting

Hello all,
I'm kinda frustrated with my HD2 device at the moment. It worked perfectly fine until a few days ago.
It has begun to freeze _very_ often. With some ROMS it can't even boot up. It freezes when I have to enter my PIN. On other ROMS it is guranteed to freeze when using ActiveSync/Exchange.
Using HSQL, I've tried L3v5y, XannyTechRom, and MIRI. All with the same result.
Have you got any ideas whats wrong with my device?
Any help will be much appreciated.
I have no idea about whats wrong but this has been a common issue/problem for many members...I don't think I saw this many issues with the HD...I dunno whats wrong with HD2 or the ROMs that it starts freezing for some...maybe the HSPL is buggy? I dunno to be honest.
maybe you should install a stock rom in between or go to MTTY and see if that fixes the issues for you.
Overall tho, its frightening to see how many people have freezing issues with Sense after flashing a couple of custom ROMs...I'm afraid it might eventually happen to everyone and thats why we need to find out what is causing this.
BTW try to format your SD card and then flash a stock ROM without the SD card and see if there is any improvement...my guess is that it will work fine again (for a while at least).
What I have figured out is that with different roms the behaviour is different, depending IN WHICH ORDER you have the links in the autostart folder.
Right after flashing it should be ok and if you install than other programms the startup interfears with the startup of htc-sense
Finaly I have the best result (on my device with the programms I have installed) keeping the htc-Sense startup as the LAST item.
You can change the order with sk-tools (Autotstart items).
You can check this (If you have a chance to access):
- Make a reset and do not enter the pin code of your sim card (on my device this was making a difference, if you do not have a pin code maybe you should take out your sim card that the phone cannot connect)
- Go to the settings and unselect in "Today" "HTC Sense"
Than you should have the normal "speed" of the device and you should be able to start sk tools and change the booting order.
It looks like that - depending on the start up order that applications - processes are waiting for each other and using nearly 100% of cpu power and you have therefore the impression that the device is frozen.
I am sorry I do not know how to change the startup order without sk-Tools
Best regards,
dingolino

When you flash lots of cooked roms, they get "bloated" and the devices started hard-resetting for no reason. this is because of files from old roms being left when the new rom is flashed.
MTTY allows you to enter the device on bootloader and use service commands to format the file system on the device so you can remove all rom files before flashing a new rom!!

basicly it will format your system and make sure you don't have any files from older roms left on the system which might cause this issues.

i tried too l3v5y's ROM and it didn't work. But maybe, your pb is not exactly same as mine.
Do you you a 16 GB card ? for me, it's certainly cause of pb because i can use every rom without sd card
Try to ask more to sternas but i noticed he prefer keep his cook secrets
Try to install "official" 1.61, make HR after boot. After next reboot connect with PC and flash with any cooked ROM. I had the same problems like you and this helped me...

Try deleting the folder "\Application Folder" on the storage card using your PC/Laptop, and reinsert the SD card into HD2. I assume you are using ROM cooked with Manila version that has the document tab.
Let us know if this works for you. It took me a long time and many flashes to figure this out. I suppose you have configured your HD2 for emails or MS Exchange pushmail?
Edit : If you already experience the slowdown caused by inserting the SD Card, MAKE SURE you reboot your HD2 before re-inserting the SD card.
I had this "freezing during startup" with a number of roms (always after I installed my software) and since that I am always "tweaking" it by the startup order as I described it and was able to solve it!
I do not think that it is hardware related in the amount of cases which are reported. And I am also not a strong believer of this "flashing" and mtty discussion (it could be a solution is some cases but I do not think in this relatively larger number of cases which are reported).
For most of the rom cookers it is not the 1st rom cooking they are doing and the HD2 is not the 1st HD2 device for HTC as well. This is the reason why I do not think that there is a principle rom problem nor a principle hardware problem
Manila Sense is a complex pcs of software and the startup is therefore more complex.
Depending on the tweaks the rom cookers are doing on the XIP and other WM internals there could be a timing interfearance during booting and this is creating the trouble for Manila Sense startup (network, phone, etc.).
Reminds me to the "good old days" with ATART-ST where you had dedicated tools to rearrange the startup seaquenze of the Accessories
At least i think it is worth trying it, you cannot loose anything.
But I played not only with the finaly boot order of htc-Sense (the last one) but also I put other elements in a different order.
Sometimes it was helping to install Panolauncher and put it before HTC Sense startup - I had the impression that just having another application before HTCsense made an improvement to "give HTCSense" more time.
Does not sound like science but a little bit like Voodoo ...
My Autostart folder (only the applications)
1. poutlook.lnk
2. BTTrayCE.lnk
3. De|WMPTempFolder.lnk
4. PKG.lnk
5. Lotus Traveler.lnk (installed by me)
6. LotusPRUploader.lnk (installed by me)
7. Panolauncher.lnk (installed by me)
8. OM10QS.lnk (installed by me - Opera 10 beta)
9. HTCStartUp.lnk
Good luck

Hi,
sounds to me like you have flashed so many times you HD2 has become "Bloated"
this is where for eg, Rom X is 110Mb, and then you Flash Rom Y which is only 100Mb.
When you do the flash there is 10Mb of residual files left from the previous rom., when this happens often you get strange things happening like you describe and worse, your device can start hard resetting for no reason!!
Go to this thread (swap the ** for tt ) h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616422 (I cant post links yet!!) and it will fix your issue. (The thread has been shut as there has been a big argument over it, something to do with a disagreement over drivers!! - how gay!)
I can honestly say, although i have only joined recently, i have been a user of this method for about 6 years, I personally know the Guy who opened the thread and i would stand buy him 100%.
Although the thread is closed, i will help with queries via PM if you like!

I tried deleting the \Application Folder folder and reset the phone.
Of course this equaled a hard reset as all system data stored was in \Application Folder.
So I removed my storage card and did a hard reset so that the system data will not be stored in the storage card.
Hopefully this will be make the device more stable as such.
use the mtty to format ur device first, then flash the rom u want to flash.
I have encountered the same issues just like u, after use the MTTY, so far so good.
the post is kind of complex, but it is worth to have a try.
Just today i went to listen to some music and after a few seconds the music just stops, initially i thought it was because i had it on shuffle once or something but i didn't change any settings at all, everything looks to be ok and everything else is working as normal, the only thing i can think of is that i downloaded MemMaid quick clean but i didnt delete anything i shouldn't so cant think why this is happeening as it was working ok yesterday!
My phone was flashed with Laurentius Ultimate Power WWE ROM and is stable..
Anyone any ideas?
Same problem here. I don't use MemMaid, so the problem must be somwhere else.
I use Miri Xtralight ROM.
I had that problem a while back. A hard reset sorted it out, i think it was something i installed..not sure what
Soloution !!
I had the same problem and I contact the them and here what they said , and worked :
If you are facing problems with your audio player, I may suggest that you do a hard reset and and then install the update. Please backup your information before doing a hard reset as this will delete all personal data. Also please try the following suggestions regarding how the music is stored on your SD card. Please try this option – Make sure that all the mp3/songs on your device are in one folder and this folder should be placed on the ‘root’ of the SD card(so when you double click or tap on the SD card you should be able to see the Music folder straight away). You may more than one folder on the sd card say Music1, Music2… and each folder not exceeding 200 mp3/songs. Also please download the User guide if you haven’t already done so for your device from the HTC website for some useful information. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC
Please Help, I'm using HTC_Asia_TW_1.66 stock rom on my HD2, after installing some apps and mods, it won't boot after a soft reset. I restored the system by SPB backup to earlier status and then all comes back, the phone works again except the photo tab remains blank (black).
Maybe that's because I didn't make a "full backup" but only "system" level by SPB, may this lead to miss something on restore?
Here is what I have now : In the right side there is still counter showing "1/99" (means there are 99 photos?) but nothing shows up. The camera icons on the top-right side are still there too, and they works. HTCAlbum works too. On the bottom the two menu text remain "phone" and "menu", which belong to the home tab.
All other tabs work just fine.
I tried to delete the album cache files but no luck.
As mentioned I got system backups from last stats, I'm thinking extract something from it to replace current files (exe, dlls ?) but I've no idea about what to do~
Any helps are very appreciated...

I have no idea what caused it, and would love some help.

The symptoms look very suspiciously caused by the installation of the landscape rotation tweak, TX Total Landscape.cab
I had installed this particular cab before but had since removed.
Same problem
I have the same problem with my hd2... but I did not installed the TX Total Landscape.cab.
I think the problem started when I tried the GTX white theme.cab... but even after its removal, the photo tab still doesn't work.
Is this a bug caused by Cookie's Home Tab 1.8.5???
I really don't know how to solve this...

Thanks Zentury, I think this may be the most possible reason. I didn't use the Tx one for landscape fonction but I do have installed another enablelandscape.cab. This one may cause the same problem. but I can't confirm this cause I've switched my stock rom to energy rom yesterday. thanks anyway!
I tried several ROMs - 2 of miri's, and 2 energy ROMs and all 4 of them lead to freezing of my ""pictures and video sense tab, even after a fresh flashing. I flash my device after I format my SD card, remove it along with the SIM, perform task 29 => ROM flashing and then hard resetting. I tried different compatible radio versions, 2 of the roms were with CHT...still the same bug - pics and video tab freezes few seconds after finding the pictures on my SD card. I think what is common in all these 4 ROMS is the presence of a screen rotating app - in the last ROM (Energy Reference) it is called just "Rotate screen". Anyone know how to disable it?
drkalo,
It's weird cause I'm using Energy's rom (JUN22 Cookie version) and the photo tab problem on the last stock rom is totally gone!
I don't think it's easy to disable the rotation from these cooked roms, maybe you can ask within the specific rom threads.
But I think if I have no problem with energy then you wouldn't... I'd suggest formating your SD card but you've done it. I suppose you copied files back to the card after formatting. Now it sounds like a file error. Did you try deleting any non-image files on your photo folder (DCIM) ? especially album.cache. Move out the videos too, they could be problematics. When using HD2's camcorder I've tried saving videos in other formats and that freezed my phone.
Dear noixdarec,
As you suggest I copied back all of my SD card content after formatting. I deleted the cache files but din't delete the whole DICM folder. Now I did that and then I made several new photos and videos and - VOILA! The tab works without freezing! Never thought of that and I thank you VERY, VERY MUCH! Mersi beaucoup!
Dear drkalo, je t'en pris (you're welcome) ! So glad that you solved your problem, have a good day~
Hi everybody,
I have got the LEO last week. I had several problems I could solve, but one big I could not solve yet.
It belongs to the Phone. After making a call, I am not able to make a second one. The application freezes, when I close it, I am not able to open the Phone again. Making a call from the history list is also sometimes something i can not do.
Can please somebody help me? Without the posibility to make easy and quickly calls the LEO is for me useless.
Thank You very much in advance!!!
i have the leo 4 7-8 months.never had problems.tried soft reset?if that wont help i believe that you must go 4 hard reset
maybe some program you put makes that.
If your LEO is giving so much problems within a week, you probably have a mondaymorning model.
Try to exchange it at the shop as it is not funtioning properly. (In EU this is consumer right)
If not possible,
What is it you have done to your phone allready?
You mention having problems and solved them, can you remember what you have done?
Has your phone ever funtioned without problems?
Try to do a complete factory reset or hard reset (look here)
Then format SD (first save data somewhere)
After reset/format does your phone function correctly?
Furthermore:
If you install apps/enhancements/skins, install all apps you need for your phone running on your device.
If you remove SD, your device should be able to startup without any problems, only applications you use besides the normal startup should reside on sd Card.
So for example:
Cookies home tab (becomes part of home screen)=> on device
Igo8 Navigator (Started manually after boot) => on sd card
Task manager (runs allways on background) => device
Games like experiment 13 => on sd card
[....]
if its brand new, get a new one, otherwise
backup
hard reset
if fixed, ok!
if not fixed,
try find an updated stock rom (if you want to stay stock) or get HSPL and flash a cooked rom.
If problem fixed, ok!
if not fixed, hardware problem.
Thank You for the replies. In the morning I tought the problem is fixed, but is not. Can be Cookies home tab a problem?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
well it could be cookies but thousands of people use cookies so its unlikely.do you have loads of stuff installed?
also, are you restoring registry settings when you flash? because you shouldn't do that when you go to a new ROM. registry settings backup is only really for restoring to the same rom after hard reseting.
I tried to found an official ROM update for my device. I found one, but the only change is the launching date. On my device is one from 11.1.2010 and I have found one from 4.6.2010. Does it make sense to update?
