Weird freezing on htc hd2 android 2.2 sense

Im using darkstone's android version on my htc hd2 tmobile 1024mb with 2.12 radio, hspl 3, newest chucky rom gtx lite and every once in a while my phone would freeze up for about 10 secs then resume functioning. This is very annoying and frustrating so i was wondering what can i do to fix this?

mine does it too with a completly different rom..
i think it is because when the screen is off it goes into a "sleep" mode where the cpu gets throttled back to save battery..
when you push the button it takes a few seconds for the cpu to load everything up and resume the phone..
its probably because your loading everything off the sd card and its alot slower then the inernal memory.

this is a known issue on all builds thus far.
try disabling autorotation in display settings. this fixes it for some but not for others (me)

Some people say problem is less when they calibrate g-sensor in winmo before started android

I've had this issue on every build as well. Usually for me it gets worse progressively to the point I have to un-install or add a different build. Thankfully when it happens there's a build that is released that I haven't tried.

mines done the same on all builds tested and I am constantly changing it, but downloading 160MB every 3-4 days is getting a little old... I'm going to look into a faster micro SD card..

I had freezing issues like everyone else but mine was when i restarted the phone at once it loads up it would freeze at the first sync. Other times would be during any game play or any cpu intensive app. i found it to be a combo of things. i realize that the sync freeze was due to the hd2 trying to grab all my 120 emails for the gmail app. so i went and deleted al my emails and it hasn't freeze since. i also disable full weather animation, turn off all unneeded sync like stocks, news, and disable any sense widgets that i did not need, also turn service provider to manual and not auto. My phone hasn't freeze once in 5 days ( fingers crossed) versus 3 or 4 per day before i did this. hope it helps someone

[Q] Wake up lag

With every android ROM I've tried so far, I always experience a lag from when I press a button to when the screen switches on.
It's always at least 1 second long, and sometimes much longer.
My question is: 1. Is this normal? 2. Is there any way to stop it?

1. Yes that's completely normal, I have also had this on every ROM
2. No, not that I know of, but some kernels have less lag. For me, michyprima's r11 gave a lot more lag than my current kernel hastarin's r7.6. Now it's barely noticable, with only like half a second between the button press and the actual screen wake up

Hastarins latest kernal is pretty damn nice. Wake lag is minimul

Did you ever try with another key than the End Call key?

I have the same issue, other keys doesn't work at all. For example, display turns off
- I hold (press doesn't work) the End call key, after couple of seconds the display turns back
- I press any other Key, display is "locked" means I have to wait like 10-30 sec until I can hold End Key to turn the Display back, that's very annoying.
This happens in this Miui builds, like "mccm SE 2.0/2.5 up date version build"
I had before FroyoStone Sense - V3.1 build from DarkStone which didn't had this problem. Didn't try the 3.2 build yet. For me it was a build issue.

I always had this until i used Phiremod Android
Its brilliant! Works like it should.
Go try it! NOW!

I think it also depends on the unit. A friend of mine only got his hd2 last month. We have the same android build, setup, sd, winmo rom, radio...but his hd2 wakes up fast as in fast. It is like it is running native on android. No matter what build he use, it wakes up the same. And his android reaches upto 2 days with moderate use, with me it is 9 hrs only.

Battery Solution the **FINAL POST**

UPDATE Dec 9:
ALL i did was use Autoboot (Exceller Multiple Build Loader) set at 3 seconds
Try this setup if all else fails
Rom: ChuckyRom Lite HERE
Radio: 2.15.50.14 HERE
Droid: HyperDroid 1.7 HERE
AutoBoot: Exceller Multiple Build Loader for Android/Ubuntu HERE (Comes preinstalled in ChuckyRom)
PLEASE KEEP LEAVING RESULTS AS I TRY THEM, AND CAN UPDATE THE FIRST POST

I have been reading and in a recent post I read HAVE THE BUTTON LIGHTS ON WHEN U BOOT ANDROID and u will save battery and its true try this!
AGAIN, PRESS A BUTTON IN WM AND HAVE THE KEYPAD LIGHTS ON.
THEN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BOOT ANDROID.
I AM CURRENTLY GETTING 3MA WITH SETCPU
I had to try this twice before it worked but THE KEY IS TO BOOT ANDROID AS SOON AS THE KEYPAD LIGHYS TURN ON!

I just posted this in another battery thread but I think the real key is booting Android as quickly as possible and not really the lights so much as I have achieved similar results just using Exceller Multiple Build Loader app and not even touching the keys/lights. C/P from the other thread-->
Tried different techniques to get better battery and found that even on the same build with exact same setup would give varying results. Here's my setup that I would like others to try and post their results. SetCpu with screen off profile set to 245min/max 100 priority and whatever main profile you like; but use conservative preferably or interactive for best battery performance. Any task killer that auto kills all tasks with screen off (be sure to add SetCPU to ignore list). And here is the most important step, use an auto android booting app with minimum boot time setting. I have been doing some experiments with this and found that if you boot into Android as soon as possible, it seems to give better battery performance as opposed to playing around in WM then booting Android. Have tried this with several WM/Android combos. For the first time ever I'm able to get comparable battery performance out of Android as WM. I'm running a bare bones WM (but should work with and WM rom) and using Exceller Multiple Build Loader app set to 3 secs. Even running several sense builds I was able to achieve 3-7 mA draw during standby according to current widget. Took my phone off the charger at about 6:30 a.m. and it is now 11:15 and I still have 25% battery left after pretty heavy usage on standard battery. This is as good or better than what I usually get from WM! Hope this helps.

This was the one thing that was ruining my Android on HD2 experience. I finally got this step right after a few tries.
I've been using it for two days now, and getting consistent 5-8mA readings on standby. There's definitely something to either booting Android quickly and/or hitting the back button to turn on the LED backlight on the buttons.
I just checked my phone, and it's reading 5mA.
And I don't even have SetCPU on my phone. Should I try it out?

I think HTC winmo sense is the culprit. I disable the sense in winmo and get very low Android battery usage during standby. Sometimes around 3mA.

I also suggest to disable sense and put wmo in offline status.

why should turning off sense be good when it comes to battery usage under android? this would mean winmo and sense are running in the background of android...which is not the fact!

You had to try this 2 times before it worked yet you claim this is the final solution for battery drain problems?

i agree with you guys but let me just throw this observation into the mix here. i've read somrthing here in these forums regarding the sd card that came with the phone had something wrong with it ( don't really remember the exact issue ) and if you swapped it out for another sd card, there would be less SODs and a better battery as well.
i've tested this as i have a 4gb sd card and have had no problems whatsoever. everything runs smooth as silk. and, once again, the battery life is great.
NOTE: i do use the keypads lights on trick as well.

Please re-read the post. i updated

Most of us don't need to do keypad gymnastics to get those same results.
Just use the exceller boot loader and set it for 3 or 6 seconds. Having stuff turned off till you need it is a great way to preserve the battery.

Ya thanks for the comment, i was doin this in between class so i didnt have time to just try the Excellor Boot Loader!!!
Updated the First Post Thanks!!!!

well now we hav almost 48 hrs of battery life on android... and moreover i info radio 2.14.xxx is better than 2.15.xxx in battery life...

Not working for me
Sorry thats all not working for me
i'm still having about 60 mA with VBNROM reloaded - 2.15.50.14/ Bangster 1.5 / Scandisk class 2 - 8 GB
I realley tryed everything and have read a lot of posts. I'm really distressed at the moment.
The best battery cosumption i ever experienced was with mccm 2.5 But that one was not stable for me.

1. Are you using SetCPU with a 245 max screen off profile? 2. Are you disabling WiFi, data and GPS when not using it? 3. Are you using a auto task killer with only SetCPU and Current Widget in ignore list? Also, I don't have 3g in my area but if you do I guess it could account for increased battery drain. If you're in an area that is in/out of coverage, this will cause higher battery drain as well. I get spotty coverage where I work and the battery drain is terrible.

Try mdeejay sense rEVOlution 2.0 androind build with your vbn wom rom - works great !
Try this:
1. switch phone radio off in winmo
2. power off and charge until green light comes on
3. boot winwmo on vbn, then immediately click on EBL
4. boot into mdeejay sense rEVO 2.0
5. turn sense off and use LauncherPro
I get *very good* battery life now with avg 5-7mA draw as evidenced by currentwidget.

a few things to try
1
boot into android as quick as possible, 3 or 6 seconds
disable gps location in android
activate the lights when haret is loading
disable wifi & 3g
disable hotspot
disable sync
running htc sense? try a build without it
and many more attempts
im finally at 3mA in airplane mode, 5mA on phone, 7mA with wifi, 20mA with wifi & 3g

no need for keypad gymnastics or other weird and wonderful combinations - before booting into Android, just use KeypadLedControl to force the keypad lights to stay on, then fire up Android using your loader of choice (I use Android Loader, modified to automatically call KeypadLedControl to turn on keypad lights, instead of just letting it run on WinMo startup).
Been rebooting 5-6 times now with consistent low 5-10ma standby current.

The Solution....kind of ;-)
Thx for u'r replys.
I considered all u'r tips and sry dudes it didn't work for me I think the problem was related to the Bangster Build, even though i have been lonesome with my issues.
I changed the LED lib, and tryed to let the LEDs on while booting, set CPU is in condervativ mode/screen off 245min/245max 100% interactiv. And yep, GPS and Wifi where off. I even searched for any SD-Card related Problems in regestry. But Chucky did some great work i think. (i switched again concernig to faster boot)
At some time i think each Leo is different to the other. I changed to Hyperdroid 1.7 with 2.14 Radio and the results are definitely mind blasting.
12 hours on the road, did some surfing, some calls, 2 h musik.
Strange though i used the same kernel and same Radio. Something must have gone wrong by flashing Bangster or something.

[Q] Battery use always exceeds 200mA and wifi tethering doesnt work.

Hello, I have been installing android builds on my HD2 for months now, and have to say the recent development has really left me with a great android phone.
One problem I find I have consistently is that I can never get the kind of battery usage others speak of. Mine trends at 350mA right now which seems wrong cause my battery life isnt THAT bad. and I have never had a build thats had better than 10%->hour.
I'm using ShubCRAFT 2.0 with the hastarian r8 kernel, chunkydroid ROM and 02.12 something radio, i also have an australian HD2.
I keep my screen quite dim, wifi and bluetooth off, no over or underclock (since r8 doesnt support it), no auto task killer.
And while I'm at it my wifi tethering should work based on my build and kernel but every time i check it it says "Error" and third party apps are a no go either.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Also to all the devs, I love you, I want to carry your children.

i always make setcpu, max 619mhz min 254, screen off: max & min 254, auto task killer when screen off and i disable all auto sync, like facebook gmail etc.... im getting acceptable result, around 2 days with normal use

I had just finished reading that list and forgot to try the 3sec. boot which helped. I'm at 10mA now it makes no mention of the wifi tethering problem, any idea on the subject??
EDIT: It flew back up to 200+ after 5 minutes and hasnt gone back down since.

I get 14 Hours standby, but the phone is 4 hours aktivate! I use also chuckydroid. My radio rom is 2.12 and I use Froyostone series !

Screen issues

Is there anything I can get for the screen to work at all times? Sometimes the screen wont respond to my touch and its annoying...Is there anything to fix this?

Do you notice this at any specific times? Not necessarily times of the day, but after using a specific app, before using one, when turning the on screen, etc?

No it actually happend after a reboot...it happens often maybe its the ROM?

I had this problem, but it was due to the fact that I had SetCPU running and set my screen off profile to 128Mhz. So obviously, when I would turn on my phone, the screen would turn on after a small delay. I since bumped it up.

Yeah this could definitely be it. You generally don't want to run the Evo below 245.

Where is the screen off section? I am on ISC mode 7...phone seems a little laggy & still doesnt respond at times when touching the screen... I just installed the savage zen kernel 2.2.1 CFS HAVS+ running smartass governor & seem to be getting better battery life over the stock kernel.
