HI
wonder if anyone can help me.
Ive had a few problems with my phone ever since i stared to change the roms on it. Something i have just put up with as it goes with the flow. Anyway just recently my phone is really being a pain no matter what rom i have installed . It just turns off or freezes and has also now started to play silly games like all of a sudden everything starts opening on the phone, and sometimes the screen dimms to black then goes off and wont turn on unless i leave the battery out for a good five mins. anybody got any ideas about this all help would be welcomed.
JUst updated the Radio rom to the lastest one i could find on here seems to have helped a bit.

Have you disassembled it or got it wet? One of the hardware buttons may be stuck. Are they all working?
No all the buttons work ok mate. this evening ive tried a different rom and it seems to be ok ill run it for a few days see if it improves or goes back to being a pain.
I was wondering if it could be the battery its about 12 months old now (due an upgrade an dthinking of the diamond), Phone normally gets fully charged every couple of days.
ok heres what iv done about a month ago i was at my friends house
and decided to conect to the wireless network shortly after loading the home page the wireless disconected. i was unable to turn wireless on after that and since then my systems just litteraly shut-down 1 by one i lost abilitie to send sms. then i lost abilitie to even answer phonecalls id click answer and it would disconect straight away. and then this morning i turned it on and it just goes to instant white screen i cant even load bootloader it only shows a whitescreen no matter what i do. i cant think of anything else to try iv had a look on the forums and everyone just says to load the bootloader by pressing camera button and power button but it still goes to whitescreen the led at the top of the phone flashes red then about 2 seconds later goes to whitescreen my computer doesnt even pick it up now either is the phone just "dead" or can it be recovered?
alright heres an update to my atom so far iv managed to get rid of the whitescreen but cant for the life of me get past this new screen its just rainbow lines it looks as though all the lines on the screen going top to bottom have been coloured a diferent color
anyone know how to fix it? iv tried camera plus reset button and same thing

hi, just curious as to how you manage to get rid of the white screen, incase this happens to my unit/device as well?
ahaha yea im still trying to work that out myself i mean the phone still boots up and it can still recieve calls but only get a plain screen with multi coloured lines across it so cant use anything whatsoever or call anybody cause cant type anything in the screen i even bought a new screen adn have the same problem not sure if theres a way to totaly wipe the system and reinstall without having to use the atom screen or not if there is i would love to be told how to do it
For some reason, my G1 fails to wake up when the screen is closed. if i boot it with the screen closed, the video is all messed up. i've been running it on RC29 cuz my wifi isnt working and i havent been able to activate it.
also, my wifi is not working. this is a probelm cuz i dont have data and i cant activate. anyone help?
bump.
anyone?
*points* you're on RC29...>.> I'd suggest upgrading.
You know you can skip the initial setup process with cupcake ROMs and higher. Maybe try a donut ROM? Experiment a bit ^^
Does the phone work properly with the slider open? If so, you might have a bad connection between the body and display module.
I've recently aquired a T-Mobile G1 that refuses to run the backlight with the screen closed, and also freezes up if you close the screen - the device works flawlessly if you keep the slider open.
I've got a friend who's good at tinkering with stupidly small things, so I'm ordering a replacement for what I think is the problem part from eBay and we're gonna see if we can fix it....
I have to say, I am real close to getting rid of my HD2 and going back to the basic Samsung Comeback in my drawer. I had the AT&T Tilt a few years ago and loved it but just couldn't afford the bells and whistles package that you needed to fully enjoy it. I've since switched to Tmobile and now am able to afford the full unlimited everything package to enjoy this new HTC HD2.
However, over the last few weeks, this phone has gotten increasingly worse. I installed the Cookies Home Tab only to uninstall it a few days later cause it really slowed the phone down. I also installed BSB Tweaks which also did nothing but slow the phone down as well.
So for the last three weeks or so, the phone has been ok speed wise. Upon turning the phone on, it takes almost four minutes for me to be able to open the phone and make a call. I can open the phone, select a contact and hit send, but it won't actuallyt dial for about 3-4 minutes. Very Very annoying. Now as of ten minutes ago, when I wake up the device and slide the unlock, it goes to the start menu...well sort of.. This is kinda hard to explain so I'll do my best....
Instead of the phone going to the normal HOME screen, it says START in the upper left corner and has an X in the upper right corner, however, it still displays the lock screen wallpaper and the slider to unlock is stuck either left or right (whichever way I slide it.) If I tap the X in the upper right, it brings me to the HOME screen. Now if I push the windows key or tap START, it does the same thing as when I try to unlock it only I have an unresponse HOME screen displayed. If I tap the X in the upper right, it closes the START menu that it thinks it has opened and I can use the HOME screen again. Basically now I can't use my programs!!! WTF. The only programs I have installed other than what came with it are CHT editor and Visual GPS. Sorry for the long post but I'm really frustrated here and hope someone can help. I tried SOFT reset a few times and I don't want to do hard reset because I can't back anything up right now being unable to access any programs at all. Thanks in advance.
Joe
Did a soft reset one more time. It seems to be now, that the area where the battery indicator, signal strenght and volume adjustment are, are now unresposive. Everything else works fine except that one tiny little spot of the screen. I can now access programs again. If I use Opera and rotate the screen, that top portion, which is now the side, works fine. So it has to be something related to the notification bar. Any ideas????
Joe
Backup what you want to keep and do a hard reset. I've had my HD2 since the first week of April and have been using Co0kies Home Tab since 1.7 came out without the problems you have. Start fresh and see if you have the same problems.
Try to disable Sense to see if you can access your apps so you can back up what you need.
hard reset time.
install a custom rom man, my hd2 was exactly like that and that fixed it up good!

Have a browse over at the custom ROM forum, look up how to install HSPL onto the device, pick a ROM from the many threads and flash a new one. They are far far faster, they have no unnecessary programs on them and they go like a rocket.
If you get stuck come back here and I or someone else will endevour to help you out.
I would post some links to the downloads but I am on the HD2 on an EDGE connection at the moment.
Let us know how you get on.
If you are going to flash a custom ROM, you might want to go to the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 section of the forum as you probably have a T-Mobile USA HD2. All the ROMs in that section should be compatible with your device while some in this section will brick your phone.
you dont need a costum rom to have a smooth hd2...
i've got the stock 1.48 rom..and i'm pretty happy with it..
i think a hardreset will redefine your htc-experience
and yeah: i'm running cht since 1.6 and had never such problems...

Thanks for the everyones input. I don't get online to much because I work two jobs so I just checked this thread today. The screen completely went out on me 20 minutes ago. The touch doesn't work at all. I tried soft resetting it and leaving the battery out for a while to no avail. I am going to the shore tonight and plan on checking out the ROMS when I get there tonight. Im willing to lose whatevers on the phone at this point just to get it running properly again. I'll post back with my results or if I have any questions. Thanks again to all who responded.
Joe
Ok so I got impatient and didn;t want to drive to the shore without my phone just incase there was a problem. I did a hard reset and my screen is still unresponsive. Im guessing the phone is shot???? What the heck could have caused this. The last few days when it became unresponsive I just removed and reinstalled the battery and it would work for a few hours. I figured it was software related but I guess it must be hardware related. Any ideas????
Joe
try it for a few hours WITHOUT the sd card plugged in...see how that fairs and lets us know.
I left the battery out of it all day (about 17 hours) and when I put the battery back in and turned it on I still got no response fromn the touch screen. All the buttons work though. I'm gonna take the SD card out and leave it on overnight tonight and try it in the morning. Im really upset that this phone has started to slowly fall apart on me.

What the other poster meant was to try and use your phone without the sd card in it.
If the sd card is failing then it will cause problems on the phone.
Left the SD card out of the phone with it on for over 24 hours. Still no response from the touch screen. All the buttons still work. My only guess at this point is that the Digitizer must have failed. Anyone know where I can get a OEM digitizer for a good price? It looks like ebay is around 60-70 bucks.

Hey guys had my phone like a week or so and already it seems its faulty able to see lockscreen try to slide up moves a few cm's a time and never fully unlocks, able to use camera button to access phone but still unable to click anything via touchscreen other then lockscreen.

still unable to use.
seems a little bit like my problem with TS, go and read my answer in "How is your optimus holding up" thread
my phone came back from service with new software, but i had to send it back again, coz it's probably a hardware failure
...i would send it back.

my phone came back from service about a week ago, everything seems fine so far
