I'm suffering HEAVILY screen freezing... help me plz! - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

First of all I know screen freezing is a common problem that's not solved yet, but I really can't hold it any any any any more...
I got my HD2 just several days before(not t-mobile edition), now I'm using mattc 1.6b with 2.12 radio. Already replaced the original PPP with RMNET.
I don't know how about your situation, but my screen freezes about every 5 minutes, about 20 seconds a time, and if I turned my GPRS on(I'm not using 3G yet), it freezes almost EVERY 5 SECONDS... It's crazy
I can barely use my HD2 now, if there is no network connection, what could I do? I really don't know how to do, could somebody give me any advices?

It's a well known issue related to the G-Sensor. I can only recommend turning off screen rotation and trying other Android builds.
Edit: Here's a good thread to look at too, maybe one of these solutions might help you out. (link)

Thanks a lot, I'll try it.

try to boot the andoird as soon as you boot the WM it did help me or that issue

I was experiencing freezes with chunky droid, last night I changed to the latest vbn rom (full rom) (says he cooked in the power and performance tweaks) booted it calibrated g sensor, booted android no more screen freezes.. Using mattc 1.5c.. I didn't change my andoid rom..

I am using the same rom. Infact the last few roms I tried I never experienced screen freeze - it works seamlesslessy perfect. It could be your SD card. Reformat it and reflash again

all the advice you need is in the thread for your build ...i promise

Reformat ur sdcard with SDFormatter V2.0, will solve ur problem...

remove the setCPU app and disable screen rotatation if you don't use it, i have no screen freeze at all after that

Yea. The setcpu gave me a lot of freezes too...

ok screen freezes is a known issue, and we do not need another thread on it.
Peace,

Walking dead.... I can't be the only one

Ok I'm using newest energy cht rom radio 2.12.50 and shubcraft froyo android build with 384 zimage....
Heres the problem that I have had all week my phone works fine when I am stationary minimal screen freezes great speed but when I get up and walk with my phone and try to use it the screen freezes almost every time then the entire phone freezes. I have also noticed this on elevator and when I step out of my car.. this is weird and I know it can't be just me as its been going on for a week now.
So to sum it up stationary best phone ever...walking phone dead and I wanna slam it on the ground.

try the desire v5's zimage, no freeze at all
Im having same issues,with all the version i have tried, including V5 aparently this screen freezing is a known issue and makes the use of Android in our HD2 very very frustrating.
ive upgraded my SD to a class 6 and still suffering from it
Im wondering if there is a program that causes it or its just the OS...
in any case We have to be patient ,im sure pretty soon the amazing developers will come with a solution.
might be a screen rotation issue
Just came back from street, again same issue.
I thought it may be the network connection that was affecting the phone, so i switched to Airplane mode and turn off automatic updates,still this didnt help...
so im beginning to think this is related to yes,either the screen rotation (maybe as we walk it does affect the sensor )or gps..

I've just learned to deal. Its better than SoD's or being in Winmo and having to pull the battery out.
I actually noticed it today as I went from a dark room to a very well lit room so Im with u guys it seems its either rotation issue or light sensor issue andvi have no doubt in my mind the devs will have it fixed in no time just didn't see it mentioned anywhere else so figured it was worth a mention. Thanks all I'm so glad I'm not alone on this one.

when in windows mobile make sure to disable all battery and back light settings and in android change blacklight settings and sleep setting to stay on
I am having the same issue - using ChuckyDroidROM + shubCRAFT CM6RC2, basically when I start moving or even moving the phone the touch screen becomes very unresponsive and sometimes even the hardware buttons don't function properly. At first I thought it was just my device until I saw this post...
Think its a bug with manusfreedoms 384mb ram enabled Zimage dident get this problem using past images.
sure it will be sorted next image release.
I thought i was alone in this case too !
We are not a lot with that screen touch lag, so maybe we did something wrong. Here is what i found so far :
-Changing build don't rix the problem
-tried another radio, another rom...nothing.
I tested 27/07 03/08 cotulla zimage, now manufeeedom 382mo zimage-nopc, the problem is still here.
changed from a class 2 to a class 4 and seems to be worse. (!)
You are right, it seems to be worse when i am moving from one room to another so maybe it is gsensor related.
Right now it is hard for me to type that text,
Don't know what to do... buy a class 10 sdcard ?
I just got my HD2 today and got android set up. I'm noticing the same thing as everyone else with the unresponsive touchscreen. It happens every time I tilt the phone to try to change the screen rotation. Usually hitting the hardware button allows it to respond once again, but it happens quite often.
hey hey hey first and formost i see u guys all hav the same issuse what i dont see is ur device info along with the rom, radio, android verison, and the location ur android is stored ... i have the lates verison of droid v5 also energy with cookie full and my radio is 2.8 i believe android is on the sd card and running smooth ... now that the intro is out of the way hav u guys read what was needed , reason askin i found the thread where the question and answer is... and yes u guys are the only ones... now please do a search go up to the first thread of android on hd2, and good day to u all
Wingtytn, can you be more precise in your answer ? I am a quite long user in Xda, always try to help when i know and i never ask a question wich have been answered somewhere. I don't think i have the noob profile you seems to write. If you think about formatting sdcard, of course i did. I have a 2.08 radio, latest shubcraft build with manufreedom 382mo zimage. My rom was changed to a light android dedicated one, the latest chuckydroid rom. Just don't know what else to do and waste a lot of time trying to fix that from myself.

The TS issue is kernel related, that's why using an older kernel say the no speedy one should fix it. This is also the reason why this issue is being seen over multiple builds.

Thanks a lot shu8i, i will try an older zimage than the 27/07's cotulla.
Edit : Mmh exact same problem with the 23/07 zimage Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY. That is weird.
I will order a clas 10 sdcard and see what happen...
Try the game ”Runners”. It uses both the camera and the g-sensor and freezes mad anytime, anywhere. Huge affirmation to the idea it's a bug of the g-sensor's or otherwize the screen's drivers.
DuperMan
Me too with screen freezes, i had tried all builds and same result. I think this is a problem with SD access because i noticed more freezes as more apps opened in backgroud.
Try to calibrate the g sensor
Found something ...
try disabling auto-rotation feature (settings -> display)
It works perfectly for me now.
Can you confirm that works for you too?
Did you dind a way to calibrate g-sensor on froyo?
Why the auto-rotation feature hangs so much for us?

(Possible solution) Freezing Issues

hardik119 has found out that going to account & sync and disabling background data has stopped his device from freezing and it has also stopped mine afer 1 hours use. Before it was freezing about every 5 minutes. With doing this I have also disabled setCPU, auto screen rotate and removed gsensor.dll in windows mobile. Please try this out and respond if this has worked for you because maybe we can get a perminant solution. Thanks and also thanks to hardik119 for his extensive testing and possible solutions he is finding all the time Android is usuable on my device hopefully will be for everyone else aswel. Also sorry for opening another thread but there doesn't seem to be any action on hardik119's original thread.
maybe suggested solution works...but...wot is android without data background?
If you disable background data, doesn't that like stop gmail and weather and such updating automatically??

As has been suggested above...that is kind of /fail.
I'd prefer to live with the occasional few second freeze than not have constant updates.
I applied the RC 7 and my screen freezes are gone. Using this image with mattc nexus 1.0 rom,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756513.
Pretty sure he's just looking for testers to confirm the association. That way developers can narrow down the cause of the issue and possibly fix it. Stop whining about the "solution" he suggested.
Touchscreen freezes still exist
No freezing issues as long as you get the right WM build and android port. Mine is 100% freeze free thanks to the awesome devs here at Xda.
I have auto screen rotate on and still no freezing or SOD. I am using Darkstone's 2.1 build full time now.
Fyi.

Giving some details about your setup, WM Rom, Current android build/zImage radio etc. might help people participate more. Data connection does cause some freezing but if your saying you were getting freezing every five minutes before you turned it off, then something sounds wrong as mostly people are reporting little or no freezing.
You mention the G sensor and this is a known problem and a work around is to calibrate the G sensor in WM before turning on android, this has helped me.
I also find the kernel has an impact, I found freezing in all the undervolted/ overclocked Images, although Michyprimas latest kernel is the best to date, I have not had a freeze yet.
I found that the stock ZImage from 23rd August had no freezes in my setup.
I've no doubt that the sd card is playing some role and you may wish to experiment with changing that.
Im sure you've tried all this but you need to have the latest Hardspl V3. Do a task 29 to wipe your nand. Install a very light WM ROM, Im using my own WM 6.5.5 ROM but there is a better one by Miri V18 extra light and of course the one listed here such as chucky's ROM etc.
Format the SD card before installing the Android ROM.
Use radio v2.12.50.02.
Try Xcelsior ROM when I tested it I found it very stable.
If you already tried these thing and have had freezing every five mins, then I would suspect your sd card, but its just a guess.
There is a thread somewhere by cotulla asking for participants to isolate this problem so you need to submit your findings there (again if you have not done that)
Thanks for the tips currently using maths 1.5b Rom with 23rd kernel
Hspl3 & radio .12 aswel also tried with calibration on the g sensor in winmo and also deleting sensor.dll also using energy light but have also tried with Miri light the only build I haven't tried so far is the one you mentioned so will give it a go. Thanks

where to fing the original zimages not the overclocked
touch screen freez reason
I nenarly identified the reason of touch screen freezing ,,it is possibly in the touchscreen kernel ,download figure race from market and the touch screen fresez due to random pess of touch screen with both hands ,I think this is the main problenthl

23rd august is very stable, you also get usb sinc working and HTC sync.
You need to download the corresponding modules to extract the BCM and TUN files for wi fi to work.

Android screen inversion problem

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a problem with android on the hd2 where very occasionally on waking the screen up the colours become inverted? I couldn't find anything on the forums about it and it doesn't go away unless u reboot. U can still use the phone completely fine, it just makes things difficult to read.
I don't remember having the same problem in winmo which makes me think it's linked to android as I've only been running it on my handset for about a month.
I am using the cyanogen 6 android froyo rom with chucky's Droid rom for win and radio v2.10 (just in case that makes a difference!)
Next time it happens I'll try to get a screenshot too!
Any help/ideas on how to fix it would be much appreciated!

I also had that problem before, happened to me about 3 times with shu8i's previous build. But when you take a screenshot of, the screen shot is fine. CM6 related I guess but dont have clue. I just reboot
Same as above, couple of times on shui8, not a real pain, just rebooted.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Occured to me once on a sense build on Energy WM ROM.
Had to reboot to fix it
hmm guess its not necessarily android related then, and if the screenshot's coming out fine could even be the hardware! just seems to be happening to mine more recently, however since putting this post up it hasn't happened (of course!)
Cheers for the help guys, like you said its just an annoyance more than anything, just hope it doesnt get worse

I've had it once in FroyoStone V1, rebooted and then everything was fine.
inverted screen
hi guys, i've also experienced this problem, I was running at the Feather HD rev.3 at the time (great build BTW), and had this problem two times. As far as I am concerned I used my phone as usually ,so there is no root of this problem I am aware of. Obviously it is not even build related. I also attach screenshot.
I got the same inversion 4 times now with FroYo 4.6.
1/2 year with WiMo I didn't got it.
First I thought this occurs when unplug the power cord
but 1 hours ago I got an inversion just going from standby
to work.
This happened to me only once, while using sense ui, locking the screen and waking it. Rafdroid Desire HD Rom - MDJ Kernel
Can someone merge the thread with this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11161353#post11161353
same inversion
Hi, I have the same problem till reflashing to android, now I have MIUI and it happens approx. every 2nd day od use. Do somebody have any advice to this yet? Maybe it's related to version of RadioROM...?

screen blacking out

Hi new to hd2 android. I have tried multiple roms and and droid builds ,but the problem I am having is after I format my sd card with the sd formatter that I was recommended I transfer the android build to it let it boot up. After that I reboot it and set everything up ,and 99% of the time I will set the phone down and when I go to pick it back up I hit the power/end button to turn on the screen and I get no screen I just get buttons lighting up. Is there anything that I am not doing or doing that is causing this. Please help. I am no stranger to electronics as I modify about everyone of them that I own ,but I can't crack this one. I've been working at it for over a week keep getting the same result. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance

It would help if you added your WinMo ROM/Radio and the Android build this is happening with?
Sorry I am running the elegancia gtx right now with the froyostone sense 3.1.7 and the 2.10.50 radio ,but it has done it with numorous builds
Me too
I have the same problem and i have tried several different builds and am running chuckyRom
I have tried the chucky rom and the ozdroid rom as well with almost every single android build that is half way decent. This sucks I would love this phone to be up and running good. Now I did have the combo of chucky rom with the same radio I have now with the hyperdroid 1.6 and it ran for a few days with no problems ,but the darn battery died quick. I haven't been able to get it to work properly since.
Hit the phone button it will wake up faster

U have advanced task killer installed?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
I'm having the same issue, and yep, Advanced Task Killer is installed and running.
same here
i am having all those same problems and i have tried it with and without ATK
I do not have task killer installed not any version of any of the task killers. If a android build has it in it I go in and uninstall it.
Try changing your sd card. I saw some cards (such as team branded) exhibit that behaviour.
Same problem here tried changing the SD card and same thing happens.
Might have found a fix for this for now. All I did is turn auto rotatescreen in android display settings hope it works for you guys.
I have just started using the newest Energy rom with tmobile usa radio and I was getting the black screen of death. After a bunch of messing around I set it to the compact start menu and turned off sense in windows mobile home options and now the problem went away. YMMV
In the middle of reading all the posts here yestarday I glanced at motoman234's sig and I decided to try his setup and so far twelve hours later still no black screen of death. I don't know if it was my winmo rom that was causing it for me or the radio I was using ,but so far so good. The touch screen seems a little laggy which I wish wasn't there ,but again happy to have a setup that is stable.

[Q] Is anyone suffering from constant reboot after Nand flash?

Hi guys.
Thanks for the great work you guys achieved!
I have been enjoying my HD2 much more these days.
I have been testing and flashing the nand roms on this forum and it seems all the desire roms are giving me a random reboot on my phone.
Not constant but at least twice a day.
I've uninstalled(or not installed any) apps or killer tasks.
The most stable nand rom I used without crashing much was the nexus rom.
Has the bug from Desire creeped into the nand rom based on Desire?
I've searched the forum and it says it could be corrupt data on the SD card
but I've cleared and formatted the SD card many times.
Any ideas what is causing the crash?
One key point is that my phone is in a flat where the signal is not very good so it is constantly looking for signal from the provider.
Apart from that I have all the HARDSPL 2.08, MAGLDR 1.11 installed and never had a issue flashing the roms.
Any advice or solution would be grateful! Thanks~
are you using an overclocked kernal? cause sometimes it happens when you are using it at full speed and starts rebooting itself, imho...
+1 on the Kernel theory here... Not all silicone is created equal, some phones can take the OC, some can not. Try and throttle it down with SetCPU.
Are you freezing up before the reboots??

Not just overclocked kernels, undervolted kernels also don't work well for some people.
OP: which build are you currently using?
Install SetCPU and dial it down a little. If you don't know chances are you are not OC'ed, but that doesn't mean your CPU isn't taking some pain. Bring it down to say.... 800 and see if it holds on. Worth a shot.

Okie thanks for the quick reply
Currently I am running DFT stock Desire rom.
I think I flashed the phone with every nand rom on this forum....lol
The phone will just reboot when left alone.
So I don't know if it is crashing or freezing.
Sometimes it reboots while charging and sometimes just on standby doing nothing.
Doesn't seem to be getting warm but maybe I can't really feel it as it is bloody cold in my room.
I will try the SetCPU option and see what happens.
It may as well be something that simply occurs randomly. I flashed jdms nand 2 days ago & it worked great, yesterday tho I had to reflash wm coz I needed to reinstall copilot & deactivate it so I could get it on android. Once I went back to jdms nand, I started getting random reboots. So I went ahead & reflashed a 3rd time & its been stable once again.

It may also be just something it does early on, give it some time to settle...

i dont have this problem, i testing my rom on 3 days without sim-card. And it work well.
Thanks for the help guys!
Dialed down to 806 MHz.
I will report tomorrow if it reboots or not.
I get really jumpy when my phone suddenly vibrates on me...lol
i had it 2day for the first time, dont know why . im using the standerd rom from cotulla. i had it on the table while i was on my laptop n suddenly
it reboot itself
Yeah its scary coz you never expect it.
Imagine you are on your own watching the Ring or something and the phone jumps up!-_-;;
also keep in mind that your mainboard in the hd2 could be the problem. Had those reboot issues in winmo 6.5 (sometimes when doing nothing but mostly when watching youtube/cpu intensive service).
So i sent my phone to a repair center, they replaced the mainboard and since my phone doesn't reboot > sod whatever again and believe me there are an load of faulty mainboard around sadly
Second that, this girl had the same problem and she just got a warranty phone (new)
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I had no problem what so ever when using windows rom, and I used whole bunch of them.
Had freezing from time to time but never reboot issue.
I've searched and there is a whole forum and issue on the HTC Desire rebooting constantly....
The phone rebooted itself just now even with the 800mhz drop.
I am going reflash to stock wm rom and then back to the most stable Nexus Android rom and see what happens from there.
Those of you who haven't had this problem yet let me inform you that this problem doesn't start right away after you flash the rom, maybe couple of days or a week after it started.
Let's try and get it sorted out~!
same problems here, using mdj gingerbread 1.3
but its always freeze while running heavy cpu load apps like games, earth, youtube etc
tried donwclock to around 800 mhz but dont solved =/
Same problem here , randomly reboot.
I m using JDMS 1.62 , only happen on android , WM rom is working fine without reboot.
Well it seems I am not the only one having this problem here.
Anybody running Nexus rom and still having random reboot issues?
Or anyone running Android on SD card without and random reboots?
Could it be the the data on the phone is rewriting the wrong information and causing it some process to fail and to reboot?
It doesn't seem to be the hardware fault(then it would happen alot more often as hardware fail will be permanent and problem would show more frequently) although I have read on the Desire forum people have been sending their phone back for motherboard replacement with mixed results.
Currently reflashing again!
