HD2 ... "skips" sms! - HD2 General

I have a problem with my HD2.
Sometimes when i have my phone on my desk (with screen off/standby mode) i noticed that the backlight of the screen turns on but nothing happens... no notifications or anything...just turns on.
Today i discovered what it is. I texted a friend and in less than 2 mins he replied to me. The backlight again turned on but again there was no notification. I mean not at all. He sent me an sms but the phone doesnt display it! Also not in the messages neither in sense messages... (i am sure he did cause i called him and he told me he replied to my sms).
This means that i lost many messages....
Does anyone of you has noticed the same problem...?
If yes, is there a solution ?????

yes, it happens to me too, only i use hd instead of hd2. this sucks.

i had this issue before.
then i flashed the lastest firmware, currently using 1.72 firmware, and it is working fine now.
get the firmware from your local htc website.

I flashed the latest ARTEMIS rom v22 from the stock 1.66 and i just noticed that the phone does the same thing again....
So i guess it's a bug from the original messaging system.
Is there any solution to this...?
I start hating this thing..

Not Reciveing Calls/Text When Idel

Ok. I Flashed Tnt 11.0.0.3 Onto My Phone And All Was Good For A While. Well I Noticed That Aftr About 30 Minutes Of Not Being Used When Someone Calls Me Or Text Me I Never Recived The Call Or Text Nor Does My Phone Say I Missed A Call Or Anything. So I Tried Flashing The 2.71 Radio To The Phone From The 2.51 Still The Same Thing. So Then I Flash Tnt 11.0.0.2 Back On The Phone From What I Recalled Work Fine Still Same Thing Going On. I Tried Setting The Power Settings On The Phone To Where Only The Backlight Turns Off And Unchecked The Boxexs That Say `turn Device Off If Not Used For...` Still Same Thing Going On Any Advice Out There Or Any Simular Experiances? Thanks Btw I Typed This From My Phone Sorry If It Looks Sloppy Thanks
try using radio 2.19.11
so far so good, i flashed the radio you suggested and i seems to be a perfect fix so far, ill see in the morning, was that a wild guess or was there reason behind youe suggestion? thanks btw
it's the only radio that works properly for me. When I started flashing my phone, Of course I wanted the latest (you'd think latest and newest is better), but I had the same problems you did. When I found one that worked for me I stuck with it and have never been tempted to change it again.
well the problem is gone and solved. thabks. the only thing is that I never get a notification o voice mai. been an issue for a while not a big issue but any way to fix that. thanks
ive had the same problem since i got the phone, tried with many roms and radios and didnt work, hope this solves the problem for me too!
lilroud, the voicemail notification problem could be caused by some email client you have installed.. ive read about that problem in the forum dont remember where..
finally found this thread again, just wanted to say thanks, the problem is loooong gone, phone working like a charm

Problem with SMS sound (phone in standby) does this work all the time with any rom?

I've got an erratic problem with new SMS alert sounds not always playing when a new SMS is received.
I've currently got my phone setup to flash the led, vibrate and play a alert sound (glass) when a new SMS is received.
This seems to work just fine 60-70% of the time when the phone is in standby, but the rest of the time just the led flashes when a new message is received and the sound/vibrate won't happen until the phone comes out of standby. Now as the led can be hard to notice, i've missed the arrival of many text messages until the next time that I use my phone.
As this is an intermittent problem, I would imagine that it may be something that is hard to get to the bottom of, but so far it is a problem that I have encountered on the following roms;
Stock WWE rom for UK users from HTC website
Dutty 3.0
Dutty 3.4
Dutty 3.7 (manilla 2.1 edition)
As such, can anyone recommed a rom to me that doesn't have this issue, as my wife and friends think that I am ignoring them sometimes!
Many thanks
Spudgun
It happens to me as well, with several cooked ROMS!
I think it's a very important bug, you know, a phone not receving sms...
but most of people are too busy changing icons, colors or wallpapers...
so nobody cares about it !
Hellooooo!! We have a phone guys... someone can help???
Glad to hear that it isn't just me
This isn't just a cooked rom issue though, as the latest HTC rom does it too. On mine the LED will always flash when a SMS is received, but whether or not the alert sound plays is a bit hit amd miss.
Hopefully someone can figure it out
try disable flash light
too many application HD get confused
sms
There are many threads about this problem here and i think on diamond or touch pro too. Unfortunatly without any solution. I used 1.14 and now using 1.56 stock rom so i assume this has nothing to do about cooked roms. It's incredible but true: we have a nice expensive phone that can't always alert you for an incoming sms .....
Well known problem. Seems to be related to Radio and we don't have custom radios like custom ROM's. Unless HTC decides to fix this in a new radio (Like they finally released a hotfix for "audio stutter bug" a few days back) we are in a fix and out of options here
Ive found that since upgrading to the official 1.56 ROM its been absolutely fine ..
spud_work, I've flashed all of the roms you listed and am currently using 3.3. I'm not sure what causes the problem, but I do know that if I send an SMS from Manilla and just turn the screen off while still in sms, I don't get notified of a new/response message. If I exit sms back to home and turn the screen off, I get notified 100% of the time. You might give it a shot. I experimented with this theory while texting my wife back and forth. While in sms, 0% notified. Out of sms, 100% notified.

SMS issue with updated rom 1.66 WHY??

Hi,
I updated my ROM as soon as it came out in January.
I have been using my HTC HD2 on and off over the last two months due to its niggles but thought I would give the phone one more chance.
To my dismay again - I having issues with sending and incoming text messages.
For example
There was about a 3 hour window today where I suspect I was not receiving any text or sending any.
I noticed this because I phoned vodafone to give me an automated SMS message to tell me how many mins I got left. But after 2 attempts and left it for 90 mins, no messages came through.
I also sent out a couple of texts but noticed the delivery reports were shown as not delivered. These were two several different people.
So I thought this must be my phone then.
I switched off my phone and back on again, voila the messages I had sent were delivered 30 secs after my phone was switched back on.
I phoned up Vodafone again to get automated text message - viola the sms came within 5 seconds.
Question
What cause the cessation of incoming and outgoing messages in that 3 hour window? Could an app/update running in the background could have caused this?
Is this a common issue even with the latest official ROM update? Is there a fix?
Please help as this issue along with short battery life is making me thing whether to get rid of phone.
But I also love the other features of the phone - for that reason I want this fundamental feature of sending/receiving SMS message to be resolved.
Thanks -rant over
that sounds just like the original sms problem.
did you use backup software when you upgraded? with the wrong settings, when you restore it can cause problems by writing back some old system files.
could be as easy as a hard reset.
no I did not use any backup software. literally just installed the new ROM and then had to install all my programs manually in again. any ideas? it does seem like the old sms issue as the problem is much less frequent but annoying nonetheless lol.

Sorry to hear all your disappointing references your having with your HD2.
I not long after getting myne when had rom 1.48 and now 1.66 never have had any SMS problems(although a fix was installed by HTC straight away apon purchase)
I then installed a app to disable Sence Sms (sorry cant find where i got it from) being processed by Sence as it created a few limitations i liked in windows sms .
Any way by shifting the total responsibility back to Windows Sms functionality > i have never to today experienced a single problem with stuck sms.
I hope this helps.
but my problem is very intermittent. could a program running in the background cause this issue
I have an O2 HD2 which came with ROM V1.43 i had no issues with sms. I installed the V1.66 ROM...still no issues! It may be something to do with your network? might be worth trying a different networks sim card to prove???
I thought the same but i have no issue with my old phone. strange huH?

Can't make calls & won't hang up (HD2/leo)

Can anyone help??
I've had my leo for a while now and I love the phone with one major exception.....
Sometimes when I call a contact nothing happens then after an eternity, 2minutes, the call is placed. I have good network connection and have tried it with and without 3G.
When this error is present I also get a problem whereby I can't hang up.
This seems to be a software problem. I'm on the T-mobile network in the UK. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I couldn't find anything on the forums. I've tried stripping programs/software off and have tried both hard and soft resets. The problem appeared to go away after a hard reset but then appear again weeks later for no apparent reason.
I have the original ROM version (1.43.110.2) and no significant mod's apart from Cookie home screen tabs and a few simple registry tweaks.
Any help guys, I'm contemplating taking the phone back but will I just end up with a reconditioned model? Mine's in mint condition and I don't want to end up with some banged up phone.
Hi, Did the phone work before the reg tweaks and software installation? A new T-Mobile UK ROM was published on the 15th, it might be an idea for you to flash your phone, test it then tweak, if it doesn't work after you flash it then speak to T-Mobile. If it workls after you flash it but not after you tweak then there's your problem Here is the link to HTC's UK web site with the download. I'd guess that T-Mobile will have a link on their support site for it too, somewhere: http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=2.
Hope this helps.
Mine does the same thing. Also mine also freezes when I get incoming calls. After I talk to the other person, I can't hang up. It's frozen. I have to hit the reset button on the back or take out the batter. I have two HD2's T-Mobile US Versions on release day.
I did do some HD2 tweaks to turn on the LED when I get messages though.
I'm going to reset both devices and see what happens. Maybe the old softwares don't work on the HD2 even though it's for WinMo 6.5.
I really hope it work, because I hate to return the unit. It's a beautiful hardware.
Thanks CMMY, I'll try installing the new ROM as soon as I get a chance.
I didn't have the problem before installing software/tweaks; but then again it was only probably a couple of days before I played around with it. After I did a hard reset and reinstalled some software it was working fine for at least a week before the problem re-occured, which seemed quite strange. Today the phone is working fine but will undoubtedly return, the fault seems entirely intermittent.
Daily driver: I also have the same problem when recieving calls. I'll let you know how I get on.
Same problem here, my phone is 3 days old and I have to remove the battery to end most calls, did a master reset and thought that fixed it. Couple hours later it was back at it. I'm using a tmobile hd2. This seems to be a very common problem, hope they come out with a patch soon..
Same problem here, hope it gets fixed someday
same problem
all the same..
t mobile croatia..
cant make phone call
cant hang up

I have this issue across diffrent roms, soft reboot does not fix it. just fixes itself after a while
Hi
Did you find a solution to this problem?
I'm using GSM HD2 Europe.
This problem start occurring after a while when I was using 29 Aug Energy rom.
After a reset the phone work ok for few hours.
When to problem start, the send physical button does not work.
if I want to make a call I must use the "phone" from the start menu.
When I try to end the call, the phone software stop responding, but the operation system keeps working.
In order to end the call I must remove the battery.
I when back to the original rom 1.66 from HTC site.
the problem still exist but less frequently.
(by the way the original rom work much slower then the energy custom rom.)
I’m wasting so much time on this phone, and I’m on the verge of giving up .
I will be happy to get some help.
Thanks

If you do not have BsB tweaks, but used tweak #44 in "Leo's tips and tweaks", this can cause problems for some.
can't hangup
I found the reason for this problem. (at least for the specific problem I had)
I'm using resco keyboard.
if I leave the Caps lock on after using the keyboard, then the "Send" HW button does not work, and you can't hangup calls.
by opening the keyboard again and releasing the caps lock the all work fine again.
I've also had this problem... Made me consider selling this otherwise great HD2, sometimes even running it over with a car
When I want to make a call, phone just won't dial - it freezes, but everything else works fine (only "phone app" freezes). So, I give up the call. Few minutes later, it unfreezes, and phone starts calling. Usually, from my pocket. Also, after a call, I can't hang up. I often ended up with removing the battery.
I tried everything...
Restarting the phone makes everything ok, but only for a few minutes.
Installing different app, tweaks, etc - nothing.
Removing everything and returning the phone to factory settings - nothing.
Then, I remembered to disable Sense. That was it. I have used the phone without Sense for months, and it didn't happen. Not even ONCE!
Can anybody here do anything with this?
I still want to use Sense because it looks awsome, way better than Windows interface...
You could try a custom rom. I have been using Dutty's latest and greatest without any of the problems you're describing.

HD2 randomly turns off and others problems

My HD2 randomly turns off when it wants to. Theres no set command or application that causes this. Usually it turns off when I make a call. The screen will show I am calling someone, and sometimes I will get away with making a successful call but now its getting much more frequent where I am thinking I am talking to someone and I dont even know that the phone has turned off. It usually happens more when I am making the call and less when I receive the call.
The phone also turns off because of the slightest of heat building up. Using Co-pilot for more than 20mins will cause the battery to heat up. But its not just Co-pilot that causes it, sometimes if its just being used for relief from boredom and and browsing through pics and emails, then it heats up a little and that will be enough for it to turn off.
Everytime this has happened, the HD2 resets, comes to the home screen(where the time and network is shown) and then resets again. This will repeat 3 to 4 times and then it either freezes on the white HTC screen with the red writing at the bottom, or it will just freeze on one of these screens that appear turn by turn to get to the home screen. In this case, what I have to do, I have to physically take the battery out and then turn it back on.
I've tried finding solutions in this forum and for some other problems that people have experienced (not the same as mine, but slightly different), experts have said to perform a hard reset whereby it brings the phone back to the factory settings and everything is wiped off the phone. I have tried backing everything up but it wont let me back up my contacts. Using ActiveSync it says, I must need outlook contacts configured but I dont understand. Can someone please tell me how to back up my contacts.
All of these problems are giving me constant problems daily when I am using my phone and is putting this amazing HD2 to shame.
I forgot to mention, I have:
OS version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
manila 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.48.405.2 (71924) WWE
ROM date: 11/18/09

no i havent had any reply yet.was hoping i would. i dont know how to bump this thread either.
similar problem here,
- on my unit resets and reset loops happen when battery temperature exceeds 31-32oC
(BattClock has option to display this info)
- hard reset / ROM re-flashing did not help
- someone on this forum suggested checking the battery connector pins on the unit - supposedly straitening them may help

Dont know how to bump but I am BUMPing it like this so one of the experienced techies will read this and pass on some of their precious technological knowledge and shed some light.
Im having the same problems as well..... to the point i longer use the phone and switched back to my iphone. Im still hanging on to it and hope that android can be ported.... but man what a shame it could have been the ultimate phone.
I just phoned HTC yesterrday and asked them what they could do to help. I was told to do a hard reset (shock shock horror horror!) and see if it does anything. So after backing everything up and doing a hard reset I think my heart wanted to believe that this would fix the issue and so I performed the hard reset. Unfortunately right after, I had to use the phone to go somewhere and so I thought Id try using the co-pilot but before reaching that, it turned off.
I have been using it today and I still have those problems, its turned off randomly whenever it wants to. I have got away with making a couple of calls but that was because most of them have been incoming calls.
Plz technicians help me out....
Im thinking of calling htc and telling them to fix it, they said they could book it in?
i have same problem... randomly freez on startup screan or randomly resrat...
but i think if we never flash cooked rom, we havent this problems...
i think everybody who have same problems, have Europ hd2model with ramhack, and with lot of 3rd app.
so.. if somebody have solution plz make a thread...
coze i cant live with stock rom

Not all pal , Im from the Philippines and the same thing is happening with my HD2. Right now, Im just charging it while the phone is off . I phoned HTC Philippines since it is still under warranty and they said, they will need to repair the phone since the problem was the main board as they said.(Once you experienced that the phone heats up even when not charging, they believe it needs repair).
Mine is currently in for a warranty repair for random reboots. Even when at night it was doing it. I'm on stock rom and have never used custom roms. Interesting that when I called support they asked if it had overheated. or if it did it more when overheating - so I think the two must be related as far as HTC are concerned.
Hi there,
I own a HTC HD2 for about 7 months now, using it A LOT. Flashing rom's like crazy and never had any problem.
Recently I've been on a holiday (Mexico, very humid), since then my HD2 is having issue's.
Keeps freezing, screen goes black and then in resets. Often I doesn't boot which means I have to pull out my battery to get it going again (sometimes I have to yank out the battery 3 or 4 times for it to boot again). And yes, of course I hardresetted, re-flashed etc for several times.
Seems a similair problem.
I also experienced that in some cases, my HD2 vibrate's 7 times in a row when trying to boot (like somekind of error message for the HTC technies). Can;t find anything about it on the web.
Any of you guys experienced this as well??
Well I had the same problem.
Got to the point when I had to go back and use my old HD
Took it back to the store and complained.
The guy from the store opened it up, straightened the pins on the battery and it works like new now
Oke, I tryed that also, but maybe they are not straight enough yet. I will look again I hope that's the problem
