Hoi Pipeloi my fellow HD2 and other HTC owners
This is not just a poll its kind of a petition for the official SMS bug Fix
that HTC "wont" try to Fix...
The bug only shows up when you have 20+ smses of one or more contacts. Sense reloads these smses for no reason en slows down the device.
you can do a little trick for a faster load but that wil not help mutch : when you open contacts smses press send and there wil be a popup just press no and voila all smses are quickly reloaded...
Vote: Yes please HTC please...!
Vote: Pfff never mind... my next device will not be a HTC Phone...
Vote: I dont care...
If this Poll has over 1000 or more votes i wil send it to HTC
and lets see what thy gonna say then
Probably will do similar thread about HTC give everyone a free HD2 Device.
With the same result.

Haha now that would be a sweat deal for us
i'm in
my sms works great, but i vote yes for those who have probs with it, cause i just cant imagine a life without sms >.<!
and i want an awsome windows mobile sms app, the standard winmo one gets boring and htc messaging suxx too :/
Just to clarify the only issue I have with SMS and writting in general is that damn ghosts typing where every button on the keypad randomly gets pressed. Even more annoying when you have swype!
Is this what you are referring to?
mine is ok, but I voted for those with issues

well i don't have that problem... you my try this for the gost typing
the fix we want is for when you gonna type a sms the prev smses are reloaded and therefor slowing down the reaction time of the keyboard..
Oh I see. I had that with my previous decide so I took it back and threatened to cancel the contract, the next one did the same thing so I gave them one last chance. Its now all ok.
I still join you in your pain though and voted.
Thanks for the link I'll check it out now
Yes indeed. I truly hope they are going to fix this SMS issue.
I voted yes and did call HTC about this problem and did mention to them that i am not the only one with this issue. They told me we don't care what message boards have to say lol
Well i hope they still do something about this
I'm in! This has got to be fixed FAST!

Ok thx -- its done
I'm not sure if this will help, but when I flashed the official O2 Rom 1.72.206.3 a few days ago, the sms delay problem seemed to have dissapeared. I tried two contacts that have threads of around 100 sms messages with no delay at all.
I'm using the new O2 ROM (1.72.206.3) aside from it being absolute CRAP the SMS issue still persists. Among other things, which are much more annoying, like the constantly skipping music (even with hot-fix), but nothing more annoying than my phone locking up and belching out its load ass ring-tone while vibrating it's self to pieces if I don't pick up fast enough, which obviously requires me to remove the battery, something I have to do at least once a day.
I'm still using a stock ROM because I'm debating my next move, which is likely to be that O2 are going to get this phone shoved up their ass.
I'm tired of this device, I'm also tired of watching my old iPhone 3G (which my wife now has) working flawlessly, like it did for me. I'm also still puzzled to why I made the decision to get a HTC HD2 when the iPhone 3GS would have solved all my gripes with the original iPhone 3G (being slightly slow).
Rant over!

Perhaps you've got a lemon Phil and you need to bring it back to O2. I'm using the same device with the same rom and the same hotfixes. I have zero lag on my sms messages no matter how long the thread and my music plays fine. I think your other problems may be down to settings and tweaks which is something WM users need to get used to (although most, like myself, enjoy the tweaking very much). My wife is happy with her iphone 3GS too, but I think the HD2 is far superior for my needs. I'm not trying to start an HD2/iphone debate, there are already too many on the forums, I'm just saying that given a propper device with the propper tweaks and mods, you've got one envyable phone there.
You guys who don't have this problem, what ROM and radio do you have?
So, long story short, I had a Nexus One, which I loved EXCEPT for the fact that my coverage was horrible, half my text messages didn't send, the battery life sucked, and the screen was getting burn in and had weird color saturation.
So I got an HD2.
And, coverage is great, in fact it's the only phone on any carrier that I have ever seen maintain a 3G signal in my dads house which is like in the forest lol. No dropped calls or unsent texts. Love the screen, love the music player, love Sense UI, etc. BUT...
No matter what I do, I seem to have the same problems...
1. Applications not opening. This happens most frequently with Opera. I've tried the stock ROM, the new 2.13 stock ROM, and ChuckyRom. And while for a day or two there are no problems, after a little bit I just randomly get error messages opening Opera (and some other programs) saying there isn't enough memory or a file is missing. Sometimes if I close everything in the task manager it will open but sometimes not. It always works again after a reset. It's REALLY frustrating. I don't really want to do crazy stuff with the phone, I just want everything to work. So any ideas how to fix this?
2. HTC Messaging. After a couple days, when I have a few contacts with 100+ messages, there is this AWFUL delay before I can type a response. Same as above, I tried a few different ROMs and after a couple days it's the same thing.
I know these seem like little things, but when I want to go to the browser and literally 2/3 of the times it just won't open without a reset, or when I go to reply to a message and it won't let me type for 30 seconds, it's just really annoying, all the time. So any ideas to fix this, whether it be different ROMs, or registry changes, or anything, please let me know.
Ugh I can't wait til someone ports Android or WP7 to this fantastic hardware lol.
i had the same problem that you were having until i used a custom rom. i figured everyone that was having lag is when using the htc messaging so i found a rom without it. its a pretty basic rom without the htc sense ui on there and that solved my problems. you should just try out different roms to see which one works best for you
Try using kumars latest ROM 2.0 with htc messaging disabled. No lag at all.
Sure the phone has a big screen. Yes it's easier to see things than my Wifes Dinc. No I dont think it is worth it, lets review.
All these issues/problems? happen rooted or not, or rooted without removing Bloat.
Rooted with Following Bloatware removed,
Blockbuster
City ID
Amazon
Youtube
3G hotspot
NFS
Issues........
Keyboard puts period in instead of space when typing, especially when typing fast. Had all features turned off like spell check, etc. Got so bad it would put a period in when I hit the H key or something, and I had to type real slow. Then there would be a delay in typing. I would start typing away and there would be no animation or...typing in the text box, then it would seem like the phone woke up and all of a sudden an entire sentence shows up.
Screen would not recognize touch. Could not unlock phone, could not scroll, if my finger got close to the screen it would select something and open it, but not scroll. Even though I was not touching screen. At times No response. Cleaned screen, cleaned hands. Tried clean hands, dirty hands, sweaty , etc. all same results.
Extreme slow response time. I would unlock phone, select app drawer, it would take 20 seconds before the app drawer would open, or if an app would open, or if the cursor would let me start typing, I had gone through 2 days of dealing with that BS.
Speaker. Oh this one is good...
So one day I notice the phone vibrates, yet no audio. So I check the volume, yup its up, check settings, ok all good. So I decide to play a song, its playing but just next to nothing for volume. I fiddle a bit and said Eff it, I reboot the phone. Audio is back to normal. Seems every 2 days or so I need to reboot the phone so I can hear any audio from speaker.
Random Lock ups.....
BT drops and then phone shows speakerphone button highlighted and BT button highlighted yet no audio from phone call from either BT or Speakerphone.
Unrooted bone stock with only a few apps on phone,
Same **** mentioned above.
Im tired of this. Can someone tell me what I need to do to have a stable Dx?.
Currently the phone is not rooted, and I am still experiencing issues.
I have documented these issues with the Big V as they happen, but have not done anything but order one for my wife gee looking forward to that mess, she loves to load up the apps.......
Try wiping your cache partition from recovery mode. If that doesn't work you can use the now available sbf to get your X back to factory. Now leave the bloatware alone and root again.
I agree with TF. try wiping the phone (I would suggest complete flash if possible) and see if same stuff happens.
I think you may have a bad phone. If the software reset doesn't fix it, See if VZW will exchange it. I've not had any of the problems you describe. And the fact that you are having screen/touch issues, and there was a small batch of phones with screen problems, tells me you may be one of the "lucky:
Don't have much to say, i've only had one reboot and that was bc of rogue app and i had on complete freeze but my battery was less than 10% while actually on this forum, other than that it has been smooth as butter for the most part. I came from the DInc and wouldn't switch back for anything

Unfortunately, wiping (factory Reset) doesn't completely restore all of the files. As evidenced by other threads where people changed/removed some APK's and were left in a boot loop when they did a reset.
I'm still leaning towards you having a bad piece of hardware, but it would be better to rule out the software environment first. Thus, it may be worth learning how to flash the new SBF file. That should truly put your phone back in 'out of the box' condition.
To get outta the box you need to use the .sbf file then factory reset. Just using the.sbf leaves all apps and data. Have done .sbf from linux and windows with no problems.remember to *228 option 1 after to reactivate. Would give this a try then bring in for warranty if it doesn't solve it

you def have a bad phone...exchange it.
I've never had any of these problems, except for the ****ty speaker.
There is as 17+ page thread on Motos forum about the rebooting issue. I just jumped ship from Verizon and went with Sprint.
I could of handled the phone issues and waited for the 2.2 update, however working for Verizon I was in awe of the ****ty service by one particular Verizon store. On a Evo now with 2.2
Yes my phone is a beast. Much more so than the evo. I owned the DInc so yes i know EXACTLY how the evo runs. I definitely think there was an initial bad batch that went out, just like every other phone, evo and dinc, and iphone, and all the galaxy phones that went out. Im in love with this phone
sent from Shawn Micheals...The heartbreak Kid
mine works fine
Mine runs like a champ, get yours exchanged before the 30 days runs out. Simple and easy fix.
Mine is rock solid... works great... this should be a comfort to you... since all you have to do is exchange it for another one.. then you should be good!
Loving mine, glad I waited several weeks to jump on it, after the screen issues, speaker issues, I ended up getting a flawless device, speaker isnt like my tp2, but I havent missed any calls or had any issues hearing it like many others. After being burned time after time, think im gonna wait on pulling the trigger on every phone I get from now on!
this phone is definitely a beast, love it, coming from a Dinc, i have to say the X blows it out the water...
you may have a bad phone...
did u experience the issues you listed prior to rooting? if no, then theres your answer and follow the advice listed earlier about flashing the phone back
You're not by chance running a task killer set to kill everything are you?
Even though its certain this isn't the official release, I thought we should condense the topics and just post the your thoughts about the good and bad features this update provides.
Ill start..dk28 isn't that awful for me like others. The only problems I've noted was samsung widgets disappearing sometimes, home screen rotation lag, and a few checkers showing up in the browser when zooming in and out.
However, on the bright side, flash is very smooth, and there are better icons

GPS fubared?
No notification when charging usb
Hey guys i recently started having a problem with the back button.it will pick up half the time and then its unresponsive the time any ideas on what i can do?
Probably just lag. Which way did you flash dk28?
Btw, I came up with some other things.
1. Notfications are delayed (ex. Handcents icons in the top bar are sometimes delayed)
2. Keyboard delayed (its actually a bit worse than before)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
*Keyboard/touchscreen/captivate button lag/failure to register action/press
*Streaming music skips (last.fm) while doing anything else; like browsing the web.
*Slow orientation change
*No lineout on multimedia dock yet
*None of the unicorns and rainbows flying out of the screen that were promised by the legion of unrelenting froyo fanboys littering this forum for the past month.

Same here, I guess a few of us got lucky. Just very small things such as checker boarding. I don't have homescreen lagg though, or widgets that disappear.

GPS actually finally works for me with the update, I'm getting signal indoors in places I hadn't previously and it has yet to time out and require me to reflush the agps data or reboot the phone (used it all day today for work).

Not seeing this one either, lets me know right away though the notification bar as per usual.
However I am experiencing one very odd piece of behavior, If I open the phone to show the keyboard, turn off the screen and leave it sitting ... the keyboard LED blinks constantly. I'm not sure if it's an app of mine conflicting or froyo itself but it's fairly annoying.

That's odd...maybe your phone is actually damaged then

I personally went back to 2.1, rock solid and stable.
On 2.2, Screen rotation is slow as molasses, GPS is stuck on my work location and would not work at all in updating. Browser was a bit slower compared to 2.1. Hated the scattered, non-alphabetical applications folder, wtf?!!
I enjoyed the 2.2 leak but the little niggles weren't enough to stay on it.
I did like the coloured menus, and the ability to turn off 3G when holding the power button for a few secs.
I keep getting errors when connecting to Wifi. I will look down at the phone and wifi will be off even though i never turned it off, and then the notification toggle wont do anything, and when I go into settings to enable it, it says "error" underneath the Wifi entry. Then it takes a few tries to get it connected again.
I do like where Froyo is headed, but this is absolutely no where near polished enough for final release.
Edit: Having a fully working GPS is awesome though. 2 meter accuracy = Awesome.
Does anyone else have lag when trying to adjust brightness on the notification bar?

If you press menu > edit > menu again, there's an option for A-Z order.
Guess it doesn't matter now since you downgraded, but just thought id let you know.

I've noticed since 2.2 that when a caller hangs up, I get a single beep in my bluetooth earpiece confirming that the call has ended, which I like...didn't have any sound before that.
Anyone else having trouble hanging up during a phone call? I hit the damn End button at least 3-4 times before it decides to hang up.
I must be one of the lucky few, everything works great, and not only that it fixed all the issues I had with the previous 2.1 build. I've tried out just about everything I can think of wifi, gps, 4g, pandora, etc.
edit: Should add, I did a factory reset after I installed it, wiped everything the only bit I loaded back in was contacts.

Give the phone a few secs after the screen comes back on then press it. Works fine; if you immediately press it.. it doesn't hangup. Seems intentional..
Umm.. aside from no GPS now which I plan to fix by reflashing di18 then 2.2... I don't find any major problems. The keyboard does have a bit of a registration flaw but not too major..
The leds do light up whenever the screen is off.
And I don't think the brightness sensor likes my room light because it enjoys changing itself a bit.

I'm always weary about doing wipes, so to test if this is true, mid anyone else testing out this also to see if he's right? =P

I have noticed the Sammy widget thing and the slow screen rotations but I was intrigued by your bug. So I tried it. Definitely happened. I wouldn't say 'blinks constantly' though. At least not in my case. It flashed on for about 2-3 seconds every 30 or so seconds. Maybe even as long as a minute. Caught me off guard. I watched it for a bit then went back to reading this thread only to have it happen out of the corner of my eye.

Woah, just tried it. I had similar results. However, I opened the keyboard, let the flash disappear, then 2-3 seconds later it came back. And stayed there too, for about a minute or so!
Not really a big deal in my opinion; I honestly don't use the keyboard often due to its laginess..
When I first had CM 10.1 everything seemed to be working fine and dandy and then I started to update it straight from my device up to my current version 10.1.2.
Recently my nexus 4 seems to be less smooth, sometimes apps just randomly close and it will say, _____ app has closed, or something like that. Normally I'd fix it by either clearing all my recent apps or restarting my phone.
Also, the one thing that had me annoyed was that my emails never send out. They used to before, but now its stuck on the sending... when I check the status. I can receive mail though. I am using the gmail app.
I don't know so far these little things have been bugging me. What would be the problem here? I was even considering going back to stock but really like the custom navigation keys. I have my back button on the right inside of on the left and its much more comfortable for me that way. Is there anything else that will allow me to customize the navigation buttons?

Do us all a favor, and please, upgrade to CM10.2, or at least a 4.3 ROM.
