Problems with my hd2 - Help Please

So basically, my hd2 is not running smooth at all. Every time i do a rom update and then restore my contacts/messages/settings it keeps getting frozen and unresponsive. So I have to restart the device, but I don't know why it should be restarted anyway, isn't is kind of super fast?!?! So, now, when I recently updated my ROM, the device is so damn slow, that even after typing my PIN it takes a minute to launch htc sense and everything. When I'm moving through the tabs it's so damn laggy i can't stand it. . Is anyone else experiencing this????

To be honest, and I'm no expert, it sounds like you have some serious phone problems, probably out of your control. Not to sound like a pessimist but given how everyone else seems to be ok with the HD2, could be either a major rom/radio problem or hardware failure??
I've updated my hd2 using the official rom from HTC and, apart from the occasional lag i get from WinMo, my device runs sweet as a a proverbial nut. Especially as I have run the tweaks suggested by the forums here.
Given that you have said that you've upgraded the ROM and it's made no difference, the only thing i could suggest is possibly send it back under warranty?
Obviously, I'd wait and see if someone with more know-how has a better explanation, i'm merely giving you my POV.
Hope you get this sorted ASAP. A properly working HD2 is a marvellous thing.
All the best

To the OP,
There could be so many causes for your problems. I would start as follows:
- Take your SD card out and see if the phone boots and is not laggy with the card out
- If this does not work take a look at the SMS threads on here and see if the solutions there help you
- If no joy then read the Hints @ Tips thread on here, if you have not already done so, and pickup on the cache move tips, using the task manager to close open files, etc
- I that fails look for the thread "HD2 Died - or did it" and implement the solutions in there
- If that does not help and you have been flashing a fair few roms then hop over to the MTTY thread in rom development and see if that helps.
Plenty to be getting on with.
Hope you get it sorted.

My power up to sense loaded time = 55 secs.
Any different?

thanks for this quick reply. I am using Energy Leo ROM, but I don't think this could be the problem, or is it? Because I have performed a hard-reset now and it's running quite smooth again.. But the question is for how long.
Two questions I have now:
-does it happen to anyone, when you try to wake up the phone, screen doesn't wake up, only the keys in the bottom start to glow? It happened to me from time to time
-does anyone else experience missed key taps? When I tap something from time to time it just doesn't get recognized so I have to "retap" it...

I have experienced question 1 and 2.. however not alot or not frequent.. I tend to think that this is just a computer and computers do crash depending on whats going on.. The missed screen taps only happens once or twice when its playing up. I do have a screen protector on though so whether the dust, oil or screen protector is causing that is a different story, but isnt a big problem for me to remove the screen protector to find out.

so, the latest problem.. my hd2 had been running for ~16 hours without any problem now, but in last 10 minutes i had to restart it twice, because the screen stopped responding after i wanted to type new sms in a conversation (first time) and after i had a pop-up message about new sms (second time). As said before, I'm using energy rom, latest issue (17.2.). Could the problem be, in fact connected with this rom or specifically with sms software?

using cooked roms you can generally expect a few lockups and restarts.
Also, the screen not powering up, just the hard keys backlight is an issue across the board, from custom roms to official roms. Some roms seem to do it, some don't, but one that doesn't do it to me might well do it to you.

It has been mentioned before that if you have a large number of texts stored, it will take a while for it to allow you to reply to a text. (It has to go through the database, check for the texts sent by the user, then arrange them alongside the ones sent to them by you, then put them in chronological order, then display them, this takes time)

but i would presume the device should be working anyway (but slower, of course) and not flashing the display and being "frozen" ?

The frozen issue with texts is all in the SMS thread I pointed you to earlier. Solutions to the phone freezing are in the HD2 Died thread, again as I pointed out earlier.
How many of these potential solutions have you tried? Tryy these things first then come back if they don't work rather than make assumptions about your ROM.

after 3 months i still have the issue with missed strokes.. even after the latest energy rom update :\
anyone?

Phone Malfunctions Coming out of Sleep

Hi,
Couldn't find anything in the forum, but it could be detailed a 100 different ways...
I'm having a problem where my x10 won't come out of sleep properly - it doesn't happen all the time, but often enough for it to be super annoying...
Basically I cannot get it out of sleep - the screen will turn on, but without backlight, and without the ability to interact with the touchscreen. to get out of it, I have to pull the back off the phone, and pull out the battery.
So in short, I'd say the digitizer and the backlight frequently fail (together) coming out of sleep (everything else 'works')
Anyone else had experience with this issue?
P.S. I'm not rooted.

Happened like 2 times to me, I leave it for 1 min and press again and it works.
No big deal.
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...

Normally I need the phone there and then, but worth a try waiting... I just upgraded to the latest FW, so hopefully it's the last time it happens...
Thanks!

Hmm.. tried the waiting option... left it for more than 10 min, and all it did was stay frozen and drain my battery...
Might try a full re-flash

Strange. I thought a Firmware upgrade would have sorted it. Do you have any apps installed that may be relevant, a lock app or anything? And did it do this from the moment you got your phone?

It started happening fairly soon after I got the phone... couldn't say when, but it's now happening really frequently - at least 3 times today already...
I don't have any apps I could pinpoint, although I'd guess it would have to be something I installed fairly early on.
Strange that it's getting worse though.

Hmm, it seems that this has happened to a few other people online, but mostly with HTC devices. Do your hardware buttons (at the bottom) wake it up differently at all?

Thanks for the links...
Yeah, the HW buttons wake up fine (at least from what I can tell) but they're basically useless when the phone is stuck on the lockscreen
I did a full re-flash last night, so hopefully that fixes it...
It had better since all of the backup programs I had faith in failed me completely... man I'm annoyed... have to spend a bunch of hours putting everything back on my phone and setting it up again.

Vibrant Home Button Fix

My Vibrants home button just stopped working. I have to tap it like 10 times to
make it work and then it just stops again. I know its a known issue and i am sure
alot of your guys had this problem as well. Are there ways to fix it? or no.

I have never heard of this issue, what did you do to cause it.. What did you flash?
Did you drop it?

Where are these "many people", because I have also never heard this one?
Not saying it's not true, but I'm pretty active reading most of the major threads and haven't seen this as an issue before.
I would try flashing a different ROM just to make sure it's not a bad flash. If that doesn't clear it up, you can be sure that it's hardware related.

I had the same issue with my first vibrant. Call tmobile and get a replacement.

Bump anyon else experienced this ?

I experience this every once in awhile. I really think its just lag. I find myself pressing my back and menu button multiple times. But its usually when I have multiple apps running at the same time. But its not often of enough to call it broken. It was a orginal hardware lock phone.

I have this issue with the menu button sometimes. It doesn't feel like lag because the buttons don't even light up. Seems to be more prevalent on froyo roms.
***Swyped onto XDA via Vibrant***

So the conclusion is that its a software issue or hardware?

This problem does exist maybe not with the majority of users.. but I too suffer from this problem every now and then. Sometimes my home button will work flawless and sometimes it can be a pain in the ass!! literally becoming unresponsive to the point of multiple taps in order to get some response. I'm sure its not lag because this even takes place at the home screen with literally nothing going on in the background.

Had the exact same issue, it is software. In my case I've been using the Zeam launcher, it was NOT Zeam at fault, rather the Gingerbread Launcher Free that came loaded with my ROM. I found a post with the same symptoms from someone who was using LauncherPro. After removing the unused launcher (Gingerbread Launcher free) and rebooting the home key is behaving just as it should.

im willing to bet its not the same for everyone
if you have a screen protector on (such as realook), i guarantee that is your issue

In my case, it was the overclock settings with Setcpu. remove overclock to see if ok on yours.

i have same issue, sometimes really bad response - i use button remmaper for remap search to home and i have 2 home button now

lots of freezin goin on up in here!

long story short i went from an old GB to an ICS. didn't care too much for it so i went back to this one. loved it but i noticed that when i went to reboot none of the options worked. also then noticed that it would freeze at other times too and the only way to get unstuck was to put it to lock the screen and unlock it.
thinking it was the rom i switched again to this one just a trial and error. well its doing it on this one too. but now i can't even unlock the screen.
unless im missing something, i am doing all this through cwm and doing a data wipe and cache wipe each time.
what else can i try to get everything rectified
edit: and no, my digitizer is not broken as it has worked for well over 2 years as well as when i had the ICS rom up until the past weekend!

But the digitizer can brick from one moment to the other. In my case, i flashed miui and my digitizer was broken after that. Before that all was fine.
What i did to find that out, was to reset the phone completly. What means, back to WM 6.5. It's just an idea to do another trial and error. If it doesn't work in WM 6.5 u're digitizer is nearly to 100% broken.
Sorry for my bad english. May i could help u

thanks for the input, by again my digitizer is fine
it only stops responding when i try and reboot the phone.

hai bro,,,,,,
pls change the rom to gingerbread.....use asop roms i.e. non sense roms for less freezing specially when unlocking screen freeze...currently ics hardware acceraltion under some issue the xda members are working hard to come issues...wait for a stable daily use ics build release..........all ics rom are beta hence no hardware video codecs etc.....dont doubt your screen it works well ,,,my htc is 1.5yrs old it is fine.. dont doubt your digitalizer..it is fine ...only your kernels in rom make this error ..
i personal recommand to go with stable cm7 base builds...for better battery life and stablity...

and how do you go about rebooting the phone do you use the power/end key to bring up the power menu
if so
try downloading quickboot from the play store

every time i hold the power button in to reboot/turn off it hangs. i can't choose any of the options. if i hit the back arrow it removes the options screen but is still hung. i can hit the power button to black the screen but then i have to wait about 10 seconds to unlock it. if i try right away its still hung. but if i wait the 10 seconds or so it seems to be fine.
i know its not a big deal since i rarely reboot/power off. and now that i have that app it works.

thanks kam. i'll try those and report back.

ok full fledged lock up this time. had to yank the battery.
could there be something still lingering on the system even after i did a wipe of the data/cache? im not opposed to reinstalling the rom if theres something else i can run to wipe it further.
also after booting back up it reverted to monday june 18 8:32 am!

Hey, whilst it's great that you're trying to help, this is fundamentally wrong. This is an opinion based question but you're stating this as fact, which is misinformation and could cause confusion. Please choose your wording more carefully as the majority of ICS users DON'T have issues and I find it a tonne more stable than GB. Also overuse of emoticons

Since you say you aren't opposed to reinstalling the ROM, try that. If that doesn't work, try WinMo. I'm inclined to agree with Kameirus here, it sounds like a digitizer issue, and you shouldn't rule it out as a possibility just yet. Installing WinMo should be able to tell you whether or not this is your problem.

well i am on reinstall #2 of this exact rom. like i said since going to ICS a couple weeks ago this is my 4th rom within said 2/3 weeks. even up to the install of ICS i have had zero digitizer problems.
can i install winmo from cwm? if so does anyone have a link so i can give it a whirl?

ok reinstall #3 of that rom. this time it acted like the first time i installed it. the touch screen was responsive when choosing the options for installation.
the only thing i did was flash CWM 150mb instead of the 400mb i think was on there. not sure if that had anything to do with it but at least i would eliminate it.
ok up and running. i won't do any updates and see how it acts.
HA! well that didn't take long where's that winmo rom i can try out LOL!

Provided you have the right ROM for your device type (i.e. a TMOUS) then yes, it would work fine. I find his guides very good actually, much more noob-friendly than some of the ones here on XDA (general statement, not trying to say you're a noob or anything)

[Q] Does anybody have this issue?

My nexus 4 was bought about one month after it was released .
I didn't have this issue in the first three months ,but recently ,about in the past one month ,it occurred kind of frequently and randomly.
Here is the issue:
I lock the screen and leave it there without using .When I am ready to use it ,I cannot awaken the screen even after I press the power button several times, both short and long press ,as if my phone was powered off ,even though I know its power is still 50 percent or so. After a series of random press ,I give it a long press ,then it gets rebooting .
I have been searching on the internet and many Nexus 4 users have this issue ,however, nobody can tell exactly what causes this problem .Some say it is caused by snapdragon batteryguru and some say the battery is not firmly installed .
I don't know whether you guys have ever come across this issue ,what is your analysis about it and how you solve this boring problem...
Glad to see that I can find solutions here...
My nexus is running original android 4.2.2 and is not rooted.

sleep of death. long press (10-20 seconds) powers off/reboots the phone. can be caused by phones software, undervolting and apps.

i haven't got any issues like this, have you installed a rom? if you have try another rom, also remove battery guru as suggested
