1- Hello guys, I have an T-Mobile USA HD2. I love it but it freezes like crazy, 2-3 times a day if not more. I ran Task 29 to delete every possible trail of previous roms followed by a hard reset but nothing. It will still freeze.
2- I also have a lot of signal problems. Its constantly changing from 3G to Edge on the same location. I know that is not normal so I spoke to T-Mobile and they changed the SIM card but it will still change the signal back and forth. I re-flashed couple of radios but nothing, I only accomplished to drain more battery.
3- BSB Tweaks is an awesome app but there are issues with the Rotation Option. If I enable Rotation to the "Start" -> "home screen" the photo album and music will be affected because the already come with landscape support. I tried to disable the landscape support for these using a registry editor but did not find a way.
Is there any solutions for these problems? Any help will be very much appreciated, not only from be but as well from others with the same or similar problems. Thanks in advance to all of you.
Note: I noticed the recently released TMUSA HD2s come with a yellow reset button. I bought my back on March when they sold out Nation wide with in the firs 4 hours and it comes with a RED reset button. This might explain a lot. If you know something please share. Thanks!
I would like to know if there is help for freezing issue.
I also did Task 29, flashed few different radios, few different roms incoluding stock, and it still happens. If my phone freezes I have to try for 20 minutes to restart it, as it hangs everywhere starting with bootloader, to manila.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
I had a similar issue as well and it turned out to be a cab file I had installed that was not compatible for my ROM. I had to go through and isolate which cab it was by using the date it was added and when I noticed the issues.
When your phones freeze....does it do it radomly or while trying to access or carry out anything specific. Your problem could be caused by any number of reasons but giving as much detail regarding your problem keeps you from getting so frustrated trying all sorts of fixes. Out of curiosity what ROM's are you both currently running?
I am currently using Elegancia ROM from August 23. Before I was using Energy ROM. I tried newest, stock Rom for T-Mobile HD2 but it didn't solve the issue.
I tried reinstalling HSPL, but it didn't help either.
The problem started after I put Ubuntu 0.2 on my sd card. I was playing with it for a little and it suddenly rebooted my HD2. I though, OK, no big deal, it's just in infant stage.
So I booted Windows again (energy rom with 2.12 radio) but it hanged while Sense was loading. I wasn't able to get it back to life after few reboots so I did a hard reset (vol up/down power on) It worked fine.
My problem mostly happens when I run android and when it reboots for some reason I can't get back to windows. It hangs, sometimes it hangs on bootloader before it even shows me radio and data version!! sometimes it goes past bootloader and hangs right after sense launches, and sometimes it is perfectly fine.
It also seems that when I just use WinMo it is fine, I can power down, and soft reset without major issues. But after running android I get that issues, especially when Android crushes.
I am thinking that android may be corrupting some WinMo files, but how is that possible? Android doesn't have access to NAND so technically it shouldn't prevent WinMo from booting on bootloader level.
Please let me know if you need me to explain more.
Thanks for your help

PS. I don't have any custom cabs installed at this point. I have super fresh and clean installation of elegancia rom
Yeah...Android may be the culprit. I have shyed away from trying it because I have talked to quite a few people (not on XDA) that have tried it on the HD2 and they have the same issues. The Android OS really makes the HD2 unstable. I personally am going to hold off on the Android bandwagon until a little more time passes, after all WinMo works just fine for me. Try just running on WinMo and see what happens. Based on what you have said, it runs fine as long as you are not using Android
yeah, it's is good idea to stay away for some time. But Android development needs testers. If no one is willing to test than there will be no improvement.
What I can't understand is that even after I do hard reset I still get freezes.

Yeah I agree with you on Android development needing testers. I do rely on my phone a lot for work purposes and I can't always afford to have the phone freezing up constantly.
Are you hard re-setting with the Android OS still installed?
Technically it is still installed but it is only present on the SD Card, and not anywhere else so it shouldn't matter. Next time I get freeze I will try to remove SD Card before hard resetting.
I tried booting few times with SD Card taken out, but it didn't help.

I have the same issue...i'm using energy rom and i noticed that lately its freezing like hell...at least twice a day...!! NRGZ already notice the freezing issue and is trying to solve it...but it still crashes. I'm constantly changing the rom as he updates...and right now i'm running the August 25.
Sometimes it crashes while being turned off...and i need to take the battery off to restart.
I had the same issue,all i did loaded a diff rom and formatted my sim card problem solved
I did format my SD Card many times. Did not help. I used recommended FAT32.
Yesterday my phone froze when I was trying to add program shortcut to Sense... silly.
I rebooted phone, it booted fine, but hang as soon as I went to check my TXT messages. Rebooted again and it is working fine until now.
I currently have Elegancia ROM with 2.12.50 radio, have not been using android for couple of days, but it is still there on my SD Card.
It is getting a bit frustrating. I wonder what else I can try to make it stop freezing.

My phone rebooted again yesterday.
I couldn't boot to windows for the next 20 minutes... I tried about 10 times before it worked. 2 or 3 times it booted windows and froze as soon as I clicked on one of sense tabs.
I haven't played with Android for past week and the freezing problem is still an issue. I even removed andorid form my SD Card.
When all this happened I was just using skyfire to browse internet.
I am hopeless at this point. I have no idea what else I could try to make it stop rebooting and freeezing.
Any ideas?? I would greatly appreciate any help.
PS. I recently found a thread about a tool that searches for corrupt files on Android devices after clean flash, is there something similar available for WinMo?
Here is the thread I am talking about:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/fixflash-rom-flash-verify-and-repair-tool/
screen doesn't respond to touch
I just started having this issue today. I have used darkstones most recent build from the 18th. it has worked perfectly till today. I use energy roms. i just installed a older rom today still have the same problem. this problem appears weither in droid or winmo. All the hard keys still function and the phone can receive calls. Thanks for any help you may be to lend.
my phone just froze again.
All I did was take it out of my pocket and unlock screen, and there it is: FREEZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Funny thing is that Android doesn't freeze for me... it crashes sometimes, but never freezes. It is only WinMo that freezes on me or doesn't boot. Android always boots.
I really wish the NAND was accessible so I could flash Android to NAND and forget about WinMo

you, me and 17,000+ HD2 owners are all wishing for that exact thing
Your issue with the freezing/rebooting is stumping me too. You've flashed different ROM's, including stock, done hard resets, checked the battery pins, reformatted the SD card and even tried running the phone without the SD card inserted...do I have all that right? The fact that it doesn't show the symptoms when running Android just makes it that much more mysterious. I'd say it all points to a hardware issue, but if it doesn't act that way when you're in Android, that (probably) shoots that theory out of the water. But, at the same time, running task 29 and reflashing different ROM's should also have eliminated any possible software-based causes, so....
the only thing that comes to my mind is micro SIM card. I did an upgrade on my ATT account to get iPhone (traded for HD2) and those fu...ers at ATT wouldn't let me keep my regular sized SIM card. I had to use my old SIM card and cut it's inside to place micro sim in it. I used a regular sied SIM to hold micro SIM in place.
I don't think however that this is a problem because I believe my phone froze few times before I did that SIM card swap besides, I have no issues with phone calls or reception both in Android or WinMo.
I am clueless at this point.
I just got another Android version and will try it to see how it works. If I have any problems I will try using my wive's SIM card to see if it helps with freezing and WinMo booting.
KML
EDIT: ANDROID just rebooted itself. 2 minutes after clean installation. geee, I am leaning towards Hardware being the issue.
What I did is:
1. open browser
2. go to google
3. search for speedtest
4. open speedtest.net
and Android rebooted itself and now my phone can't go past Tmobile bootloader logo (pink square with 'stick together' letters)
I will put different SIM inside now and try everything again

Good call, that's about the only other thing to try. However....have you tried running WM with sense disabled, to see if it still has the freezing/rebooting issues? That might at least narrow the problem down to something sense-related (which is easily the most common cause of any software-related issue on this phone)

I have NOT tried that but I will. The problem is that I often can't get past bootloader logo...
I modified my post above so please read it (I mentioned Android crashing)
thanks for all your suggestions
I just tried different SIM card. Phone booted fine to WinMo, and froze as soon as I clicked on Messaging tab in sense.
I will try to disable Sense for now.
I disabled Sense, rebooted WinMo launched Android repeated operation of trying to get to speedtest. Site launched, but phone rebooted after a while.
I am getting to conclusion that some software including flash causes my phone to reboot and then I can't get it to boot again..
Right now my phone is stuck again on bootloader. I already tried rebooting twice.
What I noticed is that every time my phone freezes it gets a little warmer in the lower left corner
What hardware is located in that area?

Hi there,
I have a Palm Treo T850. I upgraded it with the 28014 ROM. It works pretty well, but the device hangs several times a day and I need to reset it every time.
Any info about that?
Thanks in advanced,
Wilson.
That sent me shock vibes buddy when I saw you mentioning 29XXX...lolz
Anyway I suggest you to change the radio along with its spl. Try changing the ROM if that doesn't help either.
same problem here...
it hangs, remains frozen on standby clock screen....
everything is OK when using stock 6.1rom
could it be related to mem card perhaps? i used it without mem card but with older 6.5rom - it worked without freezing...
i've just remembered that now
Mine doesnt have a memory card, and it crashes all the time - needing me to take out the battery - so that's not it.
Other 6.5 builds for me havent been functional in different ways so this one, other than freezing a few times a day - has been the most functional of the other builds on this forum. Crashes are annoying and sometimes I miss calls due to not knowing the phone has slept with the fish.
Its been a while since this one was out so I was hoping to see a new build or two to try and improve the reliability but nothing for the past month.

Hi everyone. I wanna tell you about something weird happening to my HD2 lately that’s really pissing me off. Every once in a while, when I wake up my device from standby or for instance after receiving a text, I’m not able to unlock my phone!! I try to move the slider all the way to the left or right, but the screen is totally unresponsive. It’s like my fingers aren’t touching the display at all.
I therefore turn the screen off and on again several times and eventually I happen to “resume” the screen sensitivity and reach the homepage. The phone is not frozen since it works fine when unlocked, just the screen.
Even more weird is the fact that if I remove the battery and restart the device, when I get to the PIN Code screen I’m still not able to enter any digit since the screen is still unresponsive and I have to do the whole display off/on routine several other times till it gets sensitive again. This problem is starting to happen more and more frequently and with several ROMs.
At first I thought it was rom related so I switched from “Miri v17.4” to “Energy June,11” and then to “HyperROM Ultimate v12”. Nothing, nada, zip. The problem still remains. Then I tried running Miri v17.5 with no extra apps installed, like BSB or CHT or whatever because I know sometimes programs can have incompatibilities with roms so I tried to keep it as stock as possible, but that didn’t solve the situation either.
I performed a “task 29 by doloop” between each flashing and tried many radios as well (2.10.50.28_2, 2.10.50.26, 2.11.50.20 and now I’m on 2.12.50.02_2).
I’m really desperate because I don’t know what’s causing this. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
Sorry for the long post, I tried to describe this issue as accurately as possible.
Thanks.
Many people are having this problem. Many topics about it too, but no final solution.
In my case two things seemed to help: adjusting light settings (turn off automatic adjustment) and taking out SD card and putting it back in, and/or change the SD card to a faster one.
I even reflashed my phone and the problem persisted until I was finally able to put back a stable backup.
First off thanks for your reply. I just checked and automatic backlight adjustment is on. Are you saying this problem might however be ROM related? Some time ago when I was using MIRI v16 this problem occurred just a couple of times and I didn't give it too much attention. I was wondering if the touchscreen might be faulty and therefore in need of assistance..
I don't think it's ROM related, well at least not in my case. I didn't have any problems using stock ROM and an 8 GB card, until I bought a 16 GB card (the exact same day the problem occured for the first time, I just didn't realize it could have something to do with the card, until I read this forum and found my own post about the screen not being responsive dated May 3rd, the day I started using the card ).
I installed Cookie's Home Tab 1.8.5 (on my card) and the screen became unresponsive again and I had a lot of problems uninstalling it, because of that screen problem. So I did a hard reset and the problem still persisted, couldn't even use the wizard because the screen wouldn't respond.
I think it's a combination of hardware and software problems. Hardware meaning SD card and software meaning power settings (automatic light adjustment), maybe the way the software is written to the SD card, I don't know.
I've got it working now, but I'm a little afraid to do any more tweaks and I would very much like to use the light adjustment settings.
So I'm still testing and maybe some day I'll buy a new SD card class > 4. The 4GB card, class 6 seemed to help the last time I hard reset my phone.
Yeah I get your point but still I wonder why has this issue just happened to show recently. With the older ROMs everything was working fine and none of the above ever occurred.
That leads me to 2 conclusions:
1. Newer ROMs (mixed updated packages from different sources) are less compatible with the phone and thus create a new series of problems, mine included (just take a look at some of the latest rom changelogs to see for yourself what I mean). All of this not to mention the extra complications that programs such as CHT have caused..
2. The screen has became faulty. Maybe in the earlier phases the problem just happens occasionally and becomes more and more existent as the touchscreen module “degrades” (or something like that..)
Just yesterday I turned my phone on and the screen was unresponsive (I’m running miri v17.5). I tried removing the SD Card and disabling the auto backlight adjustment but none of these helped.
Anyway, here’s what I’m gonna do in the next days:
I’ll flash MIRI v16 which is a ROM I don’t remember having this particular problem with and I’ll see how it goes. Should the unresponsiveness occur again, I’ll go with a stock ROM (the one the phone came with).
If both of these tests fail then I’ll send it in for repair.
It goes without saying that I’m all ears for any advice/help you guys can give.
Thanks.

I did... It's working now...
I am not sure if this has to do with using Android or not, but sometimes my HD2 decides to reboot itself unexpectedly, on WM as well as on Android and I can't really find what's causing it.
But what happens is, after switching itself off, it switches itself on again and hangs on the HTC logo, sometimes with or without the following info:
R 2.10.50.28_2
G 15.40.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
I am using stock ROM that came with it, i assumed it will be stable by itself but it reboots itself randomly sometimes just like on Android.
Does it have to do with the Radio version (i changed it from 2.07.xx). I tried 2.12.xx before and had same problems.
I should note that the only way for it to run again is to remove the battery for a while and then put it back. If i remove it and put it back briefly it will still hang.
Anyone is familiar with this strange behavior?
Thanks
ME too
I have the EXACT same problem. It only started for me after using android. now whenever i run Android it will unexpectedly reboot and sometimes hang like yours. It also does it in WM though not as often. I was able to notice it might have something to do with data connections bc if i run android but only use wifi it seems to be fine. I tried changing Radios WM ROMs and Android builds i even hardspled my phone again but nothing solved it. The problem needs to be talked about more. it got so bad for me I bought a Desire and gave up on my HD2 for the moment. Keep this thread up.
sounds like i have to follow
I hope not!
I notice if i do heavy download on wm or android i get it. But it could be that the phone is too hot? But it's not alarmingly hot tbh.
I hope more people can shed light on this.
Thanks for your input.
Yeah this is what seems to happen to me too, i start a downlogsd it gets a bit warm then freezes or reboots and gets stuck. However it doesnt even have to be a large download for me, a simple cab file or youtube video sometimes. And as far as heat, this never used to be a problem and i know for a fact my phone used to heat up way more before without a problem.
Maybe the qualcomm chipset go in "safe mode"..i remember that for first start tickle the orange led and after the device freeze or restart..maybe your device overheat. Try to touch cover's device or install a battery status monitor software. If you have changed radio, return on the original status. In case the restart happen always, make a backup using Pimbackup, and do an Hard Reset. For first try to use the telephone without the memory card and test the stabilty. If is all ok, you have to provide to format your SD card in Fat32. Try also to change the HSPL with the original SPL.

Thabks. Back to the subject, today i tried downloading on wifi a 150mb file on android and it rebooted byitself.
Then i tried to play a wmv video file on WM stock ROM and after 6 min it rebooted.
So its starting to look more and more like cpu/heat problem, anyone having these issues?
So does anyone think this might have something to do with all the overclocking in those android builds we've been using?
After 45 mins of install HD2 still hanging?
Hi, I just installed FroyoSense by darkstone
Release date: 07.AUG.2010
I don't know if this is the latest (probably not) but after 45 minutes of install the screen has in the top left hand corner tiny small text (excuse my lack of knowledge here) but no scrolling text as I expected, its now like 50 minutes, how long should it take?
Any help please would be appreciated, thanks

New to the HD2
So, I just bought a used HD2 a week ago. It was having similar problems in WM. I took it to a local store, and they said that is just how WM phones are. I've flashed HSPL and different radios and ROMs, installed Android, but still have trouble with freezing and rebooting on it's own no matter what I do. IT happens the same in WM or Android. Is there any way to find out if these might be due to hardware problems caused by the previous owner?
I got the same problem, when I do a lot of things on the same time on the HD2 it hangs or reboot. During de restart of the phone it hangs on the White screen with HTC on it. I have te take the battery out of it en than reboot again.
When I listen music and Internet the same time it almost always happends.
It happends on WM but also on Android, I tryed different ROM's and Radio Version's but nothing worked. Also tryed to work without SD-card, but still the same problem.
So I have no idea how to solve the problem...
I hope someone now's how to solve it...
Sorry for my bad English but I hope it's clear

Ok having waited for 2 hrs, I shutdown and installed FroyoStone v2, this time the tiny text appeared and faded after about 5 -10 seconds and the screen has gone blank, is this normal? No scrolling text, nothing, I going tpo re-boot and will keep you updated. Thx
If you read the previous posts you would know this thread has nothing to do with the problem youre describing. I understand the confusion of the title but pls read the thread first.

Your problem is unrelated to this thread.
So far we have more and more people having the related issue on WM and Android. We need some expert to help us pinpoint the problem.

i have the same issues.
I can add also playing videos for longerthan 5-10min would make the phone reboot too weither its WM or android.
Today I was in the Store where I bought mine HTC HD2, because I was sick off it. They told me that is was a familiar problem with the HTC HD2. They also would repair it free for me. I didn't do it yet because first I have to delete my HSPL etc.
I asked them also what the would repair to solve te problem, he told me: the will do a complete bodyswap. So everything will be renewed, exept the tochscreen and front.
So I guess it is a real and serious hardware problem....
Why we dont hear people conplaining about it if its comon?
I find that very odd.
Someone could try PMing one of the devs in the forum and linking them to this thread to see if they could shed some insight or at least bring more attention to the issue.
Well I live in the Netherlands and on the Dutch HTC HD2 forum, I heard some people complaining about it. But the salesman of the store said that it is a familiar problem, so that sounds to me like a regular problem. But indeed it's weird we doesn't hear more people complaining.
Maybe the most of the people think is normal with WM, but I am really sick of it...
Phone freezes no matter what I try. Stumped
I have a question that seems not to be able to get answered where ever I post it. so please forgive me for posting here if this is not the correct place. I have been trying android from the beginning and I've tried everyones builds. from winmo to droid and different radios to find the right combination. The problem i keep running into is that my phone freezes up no matter what i do. I tried the letama .2 & .3. This problem even occurs in winmo even with the sd out. I may get a full day out of it with no problems then the problem returns. Right know i'm running MDJ Froyo revolution v.1.3 and winmo ozrom 5.10 wwe and radio 2.10.50.26. Also, wipe the sd clean every time i switch builds or upgrade. Haven't figured out how to do logs yet. still searching and reading to try and teach myself how to be more useful around the forums. Thanks and I appreciate all the hard work the DEVS put in. That's why i follow the rules except this time.

Obey the rules!
Naa, just kidding. But if your phone's freezing even in WinMo there's something really messed up. Did you try to make a task 29 and flash your ROM again? That might be helpful.. If not, turn your phone back to original standards (ROM, HSPL, Radio must be as given by the factory) and go to your retailor to use your guarantee if you still have.

I like you sense of humor. thank you for taking the time and commenting. there has been 30+ people that have viewed this and haven't even responded. But, some can ask like where is the download link and we all now where its at. always at the beginning of the thread,but they get all kind of replies. It just makes no sense to me when someone has a legit question they can't get much help. don't really understand that. Thought we were here to help each other.I don't believe that its an issue hardware issue. i believe its more software than anything. It comes and goes. My phone was going thru a period where it would reboot all by itself with no apparent reason. Then all of a sudden it stopped it and hasn't done that for 4 to 6 weeks.
really 97 views and no insight.
you tried the stock factory rom?? It might be hardware. You will be surprised a tiny drop of water inside your phone will slowly mess up your phone through a long period of time.
Are you on tmobile? I will try to look for a stock rom for you.
BTW, what do you mean by freezing? it hiccups or you have to do a battery pull.

btw, your title is a curious one, that is why you have many views and received little to no response. If they can't help you they won't post anything. But I will try my best to see whats going on.
if your suffering from the freezes in winmo and android then you I think that you need to forget about android for the time being and concentrate on getting a stable WM set up........
If you havent already done so then try a hard reset and see if that helps.......
try booting and running your phone with and without your sd card........
with and without your sim card........
if it still happens after the hard reset then you will need to reflash your WM rom, if you plan on using the phone mostly for android then I would opt for a basic rom like the energy reference series or one of duttys roms.....
there are many reasons why your phone might freeze and you need to spend time trying all situations to figure out what makes it freeze..........
if it still happens after the reset/reflash then we can only assume that it is a serious problem which may well require a warranty replacement.....
if your suffering from the freezes in winmo and android then you I think that you need to forget about android for the time being and concentrate on getting a stable WM set up........
I have tried all that you have suggested. The curious thing to me is that it seems to come and go. It first started with the energy rom and it's also happened with dutty's as well. if you guys know how to pull logs that devs need is possible you could give me a run down on how and then maybe i can find out if it is hardware. My phone has never been near water. i'm very careful about that. I'm using ozrom now. This is the 3rd HD2 i've had. the last one lost all touch response. I just have a feeling its software, but i just have a gut feeling on that. Thanks everyone though for your input i greatly appreciate it and keep it coming.
BTW, what do you mean by freezing? it hiccups or you have to do a battery pull.
I have to pull the battery. Then i may have to leave it out for a minute or two maybe longer then replace battery before it will load windows. it will just show the splash screen.
was this happening even when you were running the stock rom?
Have you tried to reformat your SD Card? I have two, and when I used my original card received with my HD2, TMOUSA, it would freeze. Since I reformatted and use new and old card, no problems for over a month.

YES

yes. I have two the 16 that came with it and an 8. it happens with both. I reformat every time i switch builds.
I see that your using radio 2.10 and that caused my HD2 to freeze a lot. change your radio to 2.12 or 2.14
I use the same Android build as you but with the elegancia gtx wm rom with radio 2.14 and after upgrading the radio the freezing (SOD) stopped.
I started using the radio 2.15.50 and have had no problems whatsoever. Also unchecking auto rotate and auto britghtness helps. Sometimes redownloading and installing your Android helps if you got a bad download the first time.
Update
now runnning enery extreme from 11/5 and mdj desire hd with his newest kernel smartass and the only time it freezes in during a call. usually anywhere from 5 - 15 minutes into the call. Anyone have any insight two a possible solution?
This is what I would do:
1. Task 29
2. Flash a slim WM ROM such as the one mentioned in my signature.
3. Flash a NEW RADIO...at least 2.12 or even higher.
3a. Install NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL. Just answer and make calls. Period.
4. Test that build for two days. If I have freezups, then my phone is bad and I would flash the stock rom and radio and return it. If it does not freezup goto 5.
5. Completely reformat my SD card to Fat32 32kb (or 64kb if you think it affects stuttering in music).
6. Since you and I are both in the US, I recommend getting an Android that has a built in TMO MMS fix such as the new MDJ build (with link to MMS fix) or the fine MooMoo build or even Bluetopia.
7. Test the basic features in Android for two days minimum and see if I get freezeups (after disabling auto-rotate and wi-fi on the Android build as well as completely shutting off all radios in WM).
8. Be glad I got this far, and slowly reinstall my apps, testing each thoroughly for freezing.

Thanks for taking the time to post this i appreciate it. I have tried it all. It appears to be getting better. I have been using MDJ's kernels since he posted them with his desire hd build. I have always felt that it was software related and not hardware. It appears to me to be caused maybe by the data drops from ppp. Not sure though till i teach myself how to do that. thanks again though.
Turned out to be a hardware issue. Got my new replacement and it works flawless. Can't believe the fun I was missing. At least it was a great learning experience.
Sent from my HTC HD2 Desire using XDA App
First of all, thanks for the awesome threads on how to mod the HD2!
I have two hd2's and the first gingerbread 2.7 is up and running with no problems for the last week. The second hd2 I bought was in ever nicer condition and I installed the software in the same order. I have this rom on it:
NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.7_NAND_(Android-2.3.4)_update
and the 2.12 radio
Now the phone will randomly lock up with the sim card inserted, usually right after I get to the home screen. I have noticed the phone freezes right when it recognizes the Tmobile network. I have tested my sim on the other hd2 and have no problems. I reflashed Windows Mobile and have tried different radios along with a task 29 cleanup and reinstalled 2.7 and tried 2.6 for fun...
I'm stumped and think I might have bought a hardware problem. Any thoughts? I think I've exhausted similar threads for an answer.

Sounds like hardware issue to me, I have this problem on my HD2 but it seems to be any time I do anything that challenges the CPU at all, like browsing netflix films, I get an FOD and have to do a battery pull. I am sending in to HTC for repair.
Make sure your device is in warranty and then see about sending it in. Make sure you flash complete stock from SD before though to get your device back in warranty, if you have any questions on doing that ask here.
Also, just for grins, try a completely different ROM, not just an older version of the same ROM, and see if it does it.
I had similar issues with a slow 8 X sd card, replaced it with a faster card and the problem has gone.
Try a clean and reflash including task 29 and full format on the sd card

Why would the SD card have any effect on his WinMo ROM and NAND Android ROM freezing?
Thanks for the ideas guys.
This phone just keeps teasing me. The working phone is so awesome that I hate to give up...
So, I can go to clockwork recovery and do a factory reset, and then when I reboot, the gingerbread 2.7 rom is still there and working fine without the sim. Then...
Just tried the hyperdroid rom with and without sim. Without sim, it works great, with sim in sometimes I can get to the dialer, but when I dial a number it acts like it's going to make a call and then freezes. I have been able to send a text when the phone booted once so I know it can send info through the radio??? I might have to sell this phone to someone who knows what in the heck they are doing! It's like a hot girlfriend with a nasty personality.

Try erasing everything! That is to say flash task29, then MAGLDR, then CWM, then Android,
or just try Android from SD and see if it still does it.
Progress!!!
Ok, so the SD rom boot seems to have helped, and it seems I'm so close to a stable hd2 now...
Here is what I did:
1. I unzipped the sd version of the 2.7 (or 6?) tytung gingerbread rom to the sd card.
2. Performed the AD recovery to get the phone to boot to SD and picked the file from the sd card.
3. Got really confused when the hyperdroid rom still booted, but happy that I could have the sim card in the phone without an instant freeze.
So here is what I have on the phone now:
I've tried various radios
Android Version 2.3.3
Kernel Version 2.6.32.15_tytung (you know the rest)
Mod Version Hyperdroid
I was estatic I could load the sim card and I made an actual phone call.
Now the tmobile network seems to be cycling but the phone reads the sim card as my phone number. The 2.15 radio seems to recognize tmobile the best. The problem now is that I want to get rid of hyperdroid and just have the gingerbread.
The second big problem is that wifi is cannot be turned on, it's just reading "error", and I still get some good freezes.
I beginning to get the feeling that this is an issue above my head. I'm going to try to get rid of hyperdroid, see if that helps the wifi issue and if nothing works, on to the next phone...
Can anyone point me to the forum that explains how to get rid of the hyperdroid?
Used task 29 to reflash nand
Ok, so I used task 29 to get rid of the hyperdroid on the nand and it boots nicely onto the gingerbread 2.7 rom. Wifi and the cell network can coexist for awhile and then the phone freezes. I tried a new radio with no luck....
I guess that's it. I really needed a phone with access to data and not a android "touch". It will go on ebay, unless I can get some more posts on the forum. If someone wants to post it for me in the classifieds I'm looking for 160 shipped anywhere in the US, sent usps priority mail. It's in perfect cosmetic condition, except for a tiny scratch on the battery door plate. No wear on the buttons.
