HD2 firmware 1.66 german hangs up device

Since german firmware version 1.66 my device sometimes stops working while not in use . Only solution then is to soft reset via the button near the battery . I have no tweaks in use.
Anyone else has that problem???
I´m curious since I hadn´t have the problem with 1.48.

no problems here.
flashed 1.66 on 02.02. and no lockup till now. have installed some minor things after flash, softreset once, still running without issues (4th day without reset). on 1.48 i had to sr every day cause of the "sms issue"...

Are you sure ??
I had the same issue til i knodest that i had 2 cabs installed, screen sensitive and vibration cab, now is ok here

i've also a german device - but unbranded. 1.66 firmware runs very good.
maybe you should try to make a hardreset.
good luck

Same here. I've not at all any problems with 1.66 in German. The device runs totally flawless and it seems as if all bugs are gone... In my opinion the device became with 1.66 what it should have been right at the beginning when HTC started to sell it for ~€600,-
I'm kind of heavy-user - I use my HD2 every day more than 3 hours, have installed quite a lot of apps (~30 at least) - have never encountered any problem or freeze. Do a hardreset and keep in mind what you install to your phone - 1.66 itself definitely is not responsible for your issue...

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
I will try a hard reset

there still seems to be a major issue
when you watch the discussion on the subject in handy-faq.de.
I personally do have some trouble with this too.
Did anyone investigate where this could come from?
The device is idle for 1 - 2 hours in the pocket, if you press a button, the button lights are on but no reaction. The only way is take the akku out and reboot.
I am running starbase64 ROM latest version and am getting sick with this.
Any ideas guys?

[REPORT] Phone "locked" into sleep, display/ring off

This has happened three times since when I own the HD2 (less than a month), so it's definitely seldom.
I try and turn on the display, usually by pressing the power button, and instead of seeing the lock screen, the only thing that happens is that the hardward buttons light up for the preset time, but the display is off, and there's no way to turn it on. Trying to call myself results in either getting a "user unreachable" response, or a ringing tone form the dialing phone, but no sign of life whatsoever on the HD2.
Only way to solve it is opening the cover and reinserting the battery (stupid and useless reset button).
I never tried to drag the "invisibible" lock switch where it is suppsoed to be, to see if I can unlock the device anyway.
Am I the only one it happened to?
Just for the record, these were the occasions when it happened:
1) Checking the phone after a "tasks" reminder was supposed to go off (and didn't)
2) Checking the phone when I knew it had very little battery left
3) Just now, phone is at 67%, wasn't doing anything particular, maybe I had totalcommader with registry plugin opened, but didn't change anything in the registry

I have had this problem many times. I never had it on 1.66 wwe rom but recently flashed to a 2.07 cooked rom and started experiencing. was so frustrating. I have now flashed to another rom - fingers crossed. Which rom are u using btw?

I had the "sleep of death", when it won't wake up from idle, a few times when my HD2 was on the original 1.48 WWE Hong Kong ROM. Now, after flashing to HSPL and using Merlion LEO v1.90 and flashing the radio to 2.07.50.27_2, it's been much faster, smoother and super stable.

I've had it a few times too, but I *think* I haven't seen it again since flashing my current ROM.

I can confirm this happening on the OZRom 1.20.
Very frustrating lock up!

Same thing on ROM Xanny Evolution 1.3.207, Radio : 2.08.50.05

Same thing just once on 1.48 ROM

I am using a custom rom based on 2.02 (if I remember correctly)
Never had this problem on the previous shipped 1.48 ITA, but then I've been using custom roms for most of the time so maybe it's just chance

I thought about posting in that thread instead of starting my own, but in my case the "sleep" regards just the display, the hardware buttons light up, the phone appears to be receiving calls even if has no signs of life, and as soon as I reinsert the battery it starts alright, so it seemed a different problem to me

Frozen screen when calling

Hi. I've had these problems with my htc hd2, I've had the sms probs, but that got fixed after talking to you guys And now when people call me, or I call other people it freezes, im able to stop the conversation (which doesn't actually start), reset the machine (red button on the back or pull-out-battery) and then call back... This is really annoying, it has happened twice today, one time yesterday, and one time every day before.. I don't call people or receive alot of calls, but always the first call "****s up". Then its ok for the next call. Doesn't happen to anything else (yet), only calling. It's not that big of a problem, but my bills are keeping to get longer seeing that I have to call back all the time. :/

I think the information you are providing is just a bit to little. you have explained your problem but you are not telling what radio and rom you are using.
in general have you tried a hard reset? or is the problem also there with your sd card in the phone? people have problems with phone freezes because of sd cards. especially the larger cards.

Oh yeah, sorry, I'm abit new to this.
Rom: 1.66.409.1 (NOR)
OS: 5.2.21869
Radio: 2.06.51.07
I always use a SD-card which is the standard 2gb which came with the phone, i could go some days without, and see if it works. Unless you have any other ideas?
Haven't tried a hard reset, doesn't that mean I'd have to upgrade it again?

I suffered from this last week & almost tested the bounciness of the phone I got so annoyed with it. As you'll see from my postcount I am an absolute noob but...I removed a couple of custom taskbars I had installed & bizzarrely everything returne to normal. probably a complete coincidence which I'm sure the experts here will confirm

Clever.. But "Custom taskbars" what did you mean by that, I'm more of a noob than you ;b

Hi, the taskbar is the info' strip display at the top of the phone. The standard one is a "clunky" black & white design. I installed some fancy, coloured ones which I now know should only be installed on HD2s with winmo6.5."whatever number it's at now" installed. Mine is a stock 1.66 ROM with winmo 6.5 device. Like I said the two may be completely unconnected but - touch wood(Ooh err missus), I've not had a call freeze since uninstalling them. I can't believe I've been outnoobed either lol! Best of luck...

Oh, yeah I've got the stock "black 'n white chunky" one :/ so there must be something else

I'll keep an eye on this thread for updates, of course I tempted sodding fate & the bloody thing locked up on me about half an hour after posting my reply. Cover off & soft reset & we're off again but this is soooooooooooo annoying when it does happen. best of luck to you.

Dunno if this is alowed, but Bump? (bring up my post )

what upgrades are you talking about? if you've installed any apps or customisations then you'll have to reinstall those after a hard reset, but otherwise it will just blow away all your info and give you a clean slate to start from with whatever ROM/Radio combo you have. definitely worth doing if you haven't done that yet.
otherwise maybe try upgrading the radio? or another ROM if that doesn't work...

Try flashing to one of the latest Radios.
I had this problem when I was on a very old Radio 2.04 with the latest custom Roms.

Well, I have the latest rom, and thats the only rom I can get :S and isn't the radio upgraded with the rom ? if not, where do I upgrade the radio ? (radio: 2.06.51.07)

radios are in one of the stickies in the ROM forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
if you want info on how to flash it then read thru the relevant stickies

Finally understood and downloaded/flashed a new radio (2.08), after hours of reading and decrypting "nerd language" (no offence of course). We'll see if it helped tomorrow, if I have no probs tomorrow it *might* have been fixed!

TMOUS user here. Have had the HD2 for a total of 5 days. Making phone calls, it freezes repeatedly. I will receive a phone call(feel it vibrate, try to answer, and it just locks. Can still hit the Home button and hit HD2SoftReset, but this really sucks.
R:2.08.50.08?2
G 15.34.50.07U
D 2.10.82076 8G
Hopefully that's the radio info you need. It is a stock TMOUS rom. Installed a handful of Apps, and loaded up some music on my microSD card. Any suggestions?

Phone keep restarting by itself ??

Ok so my hero keep turning off by itself. This is not the first time it happen, it'll be on then it will just turn off by itself. Even worse sometimes the led light will be flashing for a new message and when I press the menu button to unlock it, it restart automatically. It mostly restarts itself when the screen is dark and i always press menu to bring up the light or to unlock it. Is this mean my phone is now defective ? I mean this happened before on some other 2.1 ROM too so idk what it is. Can someone tell me how to fix this????? I've tried almost all 2.1 Roms Aloysius, DC 2.07.2, Trevs Damage, ZenHero , RegawMod (themed) and Fresh 2d. the only rom that didnt restart my phone was the Fresh 2d with the very first audio fix by Avalaunchmods but i already erased that out of my computer.

Hmmm, not much to go on. I had experienced a similar issue back on early ROMs, but it was so infrequent I never really cared.
Try a Nandroid Backup and then flash to a 1.5 ROM and see if it continues, if so then yes the phone may be defective.
Also try different 2.1 ROMs here, and let us know if anything changes.

Dude, seriously do you need to have such a big font? Its not necessary....

i didn't catch that, what did you say?

lol mr big font
this happened to me last night, i wasnt even touching the phone and this happened, but its been the only time and ive been using 2.1 roms for a while now...i think this even happened once or twice when i was on stock...
coming from windows mobile, im used to things like this.

This happens on my sisters stock phone frequently I don't really care to look at it though.
Big fonts aren't nice. Stop using them

Try a different ROM. You may even want to revert to stock for awhile, if it keeps rebooting you should return the phone for a non-defective handset.
LOL @ RTessi

My sis's is on stock, and she has the problem
Funny thing is my phone is the only one without problems, and it's the only one that's rooted.

i don't know what we're yelling about loud noises

i got it fixed now, i think, i've had Fresh 2.0d for a few days and this problem is gone. oh and sorry for the big font lol i did this post in class on my phone and i didnt preview or look at what font i was using

[Q] Android Freezing Problem

Hi, I love Android on my HD2. But everytime I install a new build, the same problem is occouring everytime. And I hope that when I install a new ROM the problem will go away, this is not the case.
the problem is this, when I put the phone in lock for a short or long period of time, the phone freezes, and I have to remove the battery and restart in order to get it working again. Now, I have been trying Gingerbread, but the problem still occoured.
I am using NAND to install BTW. Also, I was told to use SETCPU to fix this issue, and set the dropbox to 'smartass' I have done this, and the problem does not go away.
Any ideas? If you can find a solution I will give you loads of thanks!

I sometimes have a slight freeze upon waking phone and cant slide unlocker but its only for a few seconds and fine after that.
Try task29 and then reflash magdlr/rom etc see if it helps in your situation.
Also what apps are you installing each time you install rom, Something may be causing issue on your phone.

The problem is not that the touch screen frozen, but that the phone will not wake, sometimes it has the blinking green LED at the top of the device.
Thanks.

I install TypoClock And SetCPU. Also, some marketplace apps like quadrant and advanced taskiller.

Bumpety-bump-bump.
Anyone have a solution?
D:

i take it you've also upgraded your radio version as well? when i first fiddled around with android i had the famous sod or sleep of death..wherein the device wouldn't wake up. i ugraded the radio to 2.15 and that fixed the problem. haven't had a freeze ever since.

I have the same problem. Dose any one have a solution for it?

I dose have a solution, as stated before, upgrade your radio.

Ya sounds like an outdated radio. Upgrade to 2.12.50 or 2.15.50
