Hi.
I have to soft reset my HD2 all the time because it often lags too much.
I will now list the things which makes me wanna reset my device:
- The HD2 lags so badly, that most actions take up to 5 seconds.
- One application can crash (mostly HTC_Messaging), and I have to soft reset.
- When I write messages, the keyboard has a input lag of 5-10 seconds.
- Screen wont turn on when I push the buttons
- The device wont unlock when I slide the slider, it just stops up.
Now this happens each time I upgrade my ROM, and I am currently using Artemis now.
The programs I've installed each time is:
- FingerKeyboard
- Touch X reset and wifi
- Touch X button icon in messaging
and now I use WMLongLife also.
My SD-card is an 8GB card.
So if someone could help me, I would be happy.
(Sorry for bad english.)

Start again. Install nothing and just configure settings.
Does it run slow and crash then?
If so you have problem that could be harware.
Try another ROM and if the same then I think you need to return the unit.
If all runs fine on a clean, vanilla phone then you are doing something in the install process that is causing the instability.
Try installs one by one to the phone mem and check operation each time.
NB. Some background info would have been helpful. ROM version, Model etc!

The problem is that I can't predict when its gonna happen. It can happen randomly, and then I have to restart the phone. After the restart, everything works normal and perfect.
This can happen upto three times a day, some days it wont happen at all.
Currently using 2.10.531.7 Artemis, but this also happens with the stock ROM. The newest one that is. My radio version is 2.06.51.07
Its kinda difficult to run things vanilla phone, cause the applications I use, I need.
for me htc messaging has never crashed...
i suggest you to flash a stock rom, 1.66 for example and try it without the sent button.
if there are still problems, u can try using mtty or send it back for repair...
edit: i had the problem where the phone was freezing while loading for a long time (over night), and the display won´t turn on. Switched back to manually update Facebook, Twitter and Weather, and had no more problems since...

Well I think its crashing.
That's what I usually use when I lock the screen. So sometimes when I try to unlock it, I just get half of the messaging program or nothing, on screen. And I cant do anything.
When I try to click the Home-button, it respons in some seconds and Home-screen is all laggy.

When you lock the phone apps still run in the back ground as if asleep and when you unlock they attempt to restore themselves as they were before the lock.
You have something clashing installed and that is calling the registry at the same time as something else. Remember when windows full size used to do it?.
I think you have a badly written piece of software installed (either preloaded or installed by yourself) and suggesting starting from vanilla is a way to issolate it!
i've also had similar problems as you. after hard reseting a couple of times, i noticed that the intermittent lag began after i started syncing my phone to my PC and myphone. it turns out that my terrible management of appointments, messages and contacts was the root of my problem (several duplicates of everything, and almost 5000 text messages). i suggest you attempt to work your phone a couple days without loading up any PIM information, archive messages and remove duplicates (sktools is excellent at doing this)
i suggest you do something similar, it really helps. i was able to get my device to prrform as well as when i still had the vanilla ROM
best of luck! your device is better than you think!
Also, use the Task Manager, and close applications that you don't use, especially the Internet browser and applications that use data connection. These ones can really block the phone when connection is intermittent.
Yet again, I'm left dumbfounded by claims of "serious" issues with this device. I just don't understand how almost everyone has a "story" regarding the HTC HD2 being SLOW or LAGGY. Fortunately for me, I haven't soft reset my unit in 46h 5m 19s and everything is still running flawlessly.
your phone sounds faulty or something. for me.. even with the Stock 1.66 ROM i had, it was working pretty fast n smooth. now with Dutty's ROM, its faster n smoother than ever. i love this beast
I never have these problem! I used Official or Clean EX HQ roms and never got these problem!
Try a Task 29 and flash with 1.66 Official or Most popular Cook ROM
Pa49: I have only installed the programs which I have listed in the first post. I guess im not the only one using them.
Kev007: I usually have a lot of textmessages when I dont delet them, but thats max 2000. I dont sync my phone with my computer, so no uneccessary contacts or something either. Dont even use calendar, so have no appointments.
Reignzone: It is really bad. It can happen upto three times a day, and I just cant use the phone at all. Just sliding the home-screen to see all my shortcuts takes maybe 10 seconds. I could film it with a camcorder next time it happens so people could see.
The same thing happens each time I've installed a ROM. So it has clearly something to do with the phone and not with the software I've installed.

I get lags too when twitter is updating in the background. You would think a 1ghz processor could do two things at once
Backup your miscrosd. Try a microsd format. Restore your data. See if this helps.
T-Mo US HD2, still completely stock. I was having some issues with sluggish animations, applied many of the tweaks in the sticky threads here, things got better. However, it was super super slow to switch into some applications (SMS *always*, others occasionally).
Eventually I wondered about that fancy Swype keyboard and tried switching back to the full qwerty. All that disappeared and it moves like lightning now, I have to say.
I haven't played with updating Swype or maybe at least loading a ROM without it that I can do a regular install on top of. However, right now I don't miss it .
Lag issues
I have no idea what is causing your issues, but if it travels from one rom to the next, it may be your sd card.
I had an issue with lag in swype and other apps.
I noticed when I popped out the sd card the device instantly unfroze.
I then copied all files except App data and reformatted the sd.
No issues after that.
Hope this helps.

Do you know if you've been using rmnet builds or ppp ones?
could also be things like radio/winmo rom combo, radio/android build combo. I don't trust speedtest.net either. It seems to give higher than actual readings.
Check my sig and if you don't mind the initial setup time and having a stripped down winmo rom, try out that combination. I recommend either of the android builds there. I can confirm fast market downloads on both. Currently using the MIUI build and I get fast speeds. (MIUI is a little buggy at first, but once it settles, it's good enough to be a daily build)
I've tried the rmnet and the ppp version. The weird thing is its just the Market thats slow. Browser is super fast, and any app requiring data its super fast, just the market is slow. tried many radios but wont help.
I guess one thing I haven't tried after this market speed issue is changing the win Mo rom.

i think it's useless chaning the winmo rom to increase market download speed. on my device, the market is slow too. so why everyone thinks this must be a problem of the device? maybe the market IS just slow!
When I say slow I mget, 3 min to get 1.3 MB download ..
Before it would have taken literally 20 seconds..
Its slower than what is used to get on edge

Even with WiFi it's slow for me.
Same problem here. Market has been slow for me on all builds that i've tried. No matter if i try via Wifi, UMTS or whatever. Speed must be around 15-30 kb/s.
I remember reading about an article some weeks ago, that german users were experiencing slow dl speeds with the market. Google was trying to fix that, but don't if they really did.
edit:
Found the article ! It's in german:
http://www.n-tv.de/technik/Android-Market-macht-Aerger-article1283961.html
15-30kb/s ...thats exactly what im getting......
is anyone else experiencing this kind of speed.....
is there any fix???
I have this same exact issue. I thought I was the only one with this problem. I tried different builds, winmo, and radios still get really slow market speeds.
It took me a full 2 minutes to download an app about 500 KBs on wifi with speedtest speeds of 6 mbps +
can any devs chime in....
any idea what might've went wrong
slow market download fix
I have had the same issue but resolved it by unmounting the sd card. when the sd card is unmounted the market is 10x faster and downloads are normal. unmounting the sd does not seem to affect the android os either. I sure would like to know why this is though. Anyone have any ideas?

Same issues here. Market slow as hell, plus, can't donload from awesome drop or dropbox.
I guess I can't unmount my SD card since I'm running apps on data.img, right?
Market itself isn't slow. Slowness is somehow from our devices. Downloaded today angry birds lite with my hd2 and GF's galaxy s and galaxy was ready under 1min when my hd2 took 20 minutes! (and then failed to install until did unmount trick)

Yes we can!
Go to Settings -> Sd card -> Unmount
after Home -> Market
Slow market (but fast internet) problems could be caused by your Google account not being sync'ed properly to Market. Easy way to check (if you're in a country that offers paid apps) is to see if the "Top Paid" category exists in Apps/Games sections. If not, then you have market sync problems.
Only way to fix it is to 1) clear *all* Market data and cache (easiest to just delete /data/data/com.android.vending), 2) reboot, making sure that Market isn't running in the background when you do finish rebooting, 3) open up the dialer and type in *#*#2432546#*#* via the dialer keypad. If done properly, the entire line will disappear and after a few seconds a "Checkin Successful" notification should appear. 4) try logging into Market again... if you can see paid apps again, then problem fixed
If not, then try also deleting your Google account settings and re-signing in, then repeating the above steps again.
My downloads in the market via 3G or H are okay. I get about 2MB per minute.
But if I try to download something through WiFi it doesn't work anymore. It stucks at "Downloading...".
But the trick above from aussiebum did it a short time ago, as I had the same issue. Thanks

This really work! Download skype (8mb) and it took less than a minute. But phone reboot upon installation. Not rebooting but kick me back put to the blue android logo with thing flying around it. App didn't finished installing.
I went into cyanogenmod setting, application and change the application setting from auto to internal. After that, skype installed successfully then phone reload android logo again but skype works now. Will test other smaller app to see if this will strike again.
Thanks for the tip tho.
Update: just try pandora (1mb) and angry bird (11mb) and phone didn't restart. so size no issue here. Might be that skype install system file or something which cause the phone to reload/restart...idk...
Hi all, I just wanted to give a BIG thanks for the tip to unmount sd card. My d/l speeds in market went from 20-25 kb/sec to 300-400 kb/sec with 3g/H. With wifi, now is about 30-40 kb/sec consistent. Amazing tips!
I'm on T-Mobile USA, with bangsters 1.5 build (PPP), and my winmo rom is nrgz oct. 8 dinik cht. Radio 2.15.
Hello, this is my first post on XDA-Developers forum. Hope I placed in the correct section/forum.
I flashed my HTC HD2 with NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G from Tytung which I will render thanks for making the ROM.
Everything works fine, except of Google navigator, this app freezes the phone. I need to remove the battery to shutdown the phone and boot again. First i have run Android from SD-card and also then Google navigator froze the phone. Thought this might have to do with running Android from Sd-card. Was happy with Adroid, so flashed the phone with the NAND version. Still the same problem with Navigator.
When running Navigator, can search location and location is also found, but when driving in my car, and the Navigator is following with the GPS it freezes. Screen doesn’t react and also the hardware buttons doesn’t react. At this moment the phone is really warm. So did install Setcpu and underclocked the CPU. Tried again and the same phone freezes. This time the phone wasn’t so warm, seems the underclocked did his work good.
Tried many other applications/games and no problem at all. Example the game Asphalt 5 HD works fine and the phone doesn’t seems to get very warm. (CPU at normal speed again)
Someone having the same issues or a solution?
Sorry for my bad English
I have exactly the same problem with my Leo - I tried several Android ROMs - same result. Bute I also had freezes as WM6.5 was installed so I think it`s a hardware problem as other Leo`s seem to work fine with Google Maps Navigation. On Monday I will get my new Leo - After flashing I will post any news as soon as possible.
CU!
My English is poor, but too XDA worship. So come learn, support.
Thanks for the reply. I had no problems when Windows Mobile 6.5 was still installed on my HTC HD. Also did not found a solution yet.
What the meaning of the last reply is??

I've the same problem on my HD2 on Android Rafpgina 4.2 Rom
It freez by about 5/10 mn using Navigation
Trying other Radios = same problem
Could you tell me if the change of your HD2 resolved the problem ?
It should suggest a gps chipset problem
Yeap, still the same problem and I can't figure out why.
I've tried more than 10 different apps, but allways the same. After some time the phone freezes. I remove the battery, start the app and after a while, the same.
I tried working with battery only or with car charger only, still the same.
I removed and brought back all my apps with titanium backup, still the same.
I have a suspicion that when it stacks and after rebooting, if I leave it in peace (I mean don't do anything with the phone, just keep it without running any app), for some time (10-20 minutes), then it starts and keeps the gps app more time, than the time of the initial freezing. Maybe this is a symptom that could ring a bell to an experienced guy...
Anybody, any ideas?
I use Leo with nand froyo 2.2
I do not ues google navigation, support.

If you are using gps navigation software on sd card, try format micro sd card with FAT32 and DEFAULT ALLOCATION SIZE option, do not choose allocation size such as 32,64 or any other except DEFAULT.
Try it and GL.
@gunjahman,
Thanks for the URL, I will follow that thread also.
The software isn't installed at the SD card.

Then free up your phone memory as much as you can, move everything you can on your sd card which is formated with FAT32 and DEFAULT ALLOCATION SIZE.
That was the exact issue I had with my phone.
iGO and Aura worked fine in the beginning but Google Navigation would freeze the phone at random times. Only solution was to pull out the batt.
Mine became worse when iGO and Aura also started loosing GPS lock and the only way to get it working again was to reboot.
In the end I sent my phone back to warranty and they replaced 'a board'
Working fine now.
Sorry, that I didn't replied earlyer. To busy with work and other things. I delivered the HD2 to Vodafone so they can hand over to repair, get a suggestion back, because they told this isn't within the guarantee. The printboard need to be replaced. I think they mention the motherboard and they told the battery gets to hot.(total costs €285,-) This isn't what my complain was, so answerred back that the phone freezes when enable the GPS module and not the battery gets to hot. Told the battery gets warm, because the phone get warm. Waiting now for an answer back.
Better late, then nothing. This is solved for me, found the same phone on marketplace a few months ago.
Thanks for helping me.
Alright, so I have posted on this before, and thought I had it solved... WRONG! So the problem is anytime I go to use data without wifi, it'll reset the phone for some reason. Already tried every radio, and that didn't do it. I've tried 3 different SD cards, even without cards. So if I never setup a data connection the phone works great. As soon as I setup that connection it just starts rebooting. VERY annoying! Especially when trying to show it off lol.
Can anyone chime in on this? Is this normal?
very odd, actually, i would have said nope never heard of it up until 3 min ago when i downloaded a program from the marketplace, left my screen on and didnt touch it and zap, of it went, up to then ive never had an issue at all, i hope it doesnt persist. I think its unlikely an SD issue, but it could be, if you can always reproduce the issue then its likely a system bug, if its random then its more likely to be memory/SD issues.
Hi guys i had the same issue on my TMOUS device and i still have it... but its only when i use my 16gb san disk memory card
So that is SD card issues for yourself then,
intrestingly ive worked out that if i fill up my card a couple of hundred MB more i dont have the issue, take the files off again and it has problems, So ive run it through some tests and there is nothing wrong with it, i can only assume that for one reason or another the OS does not like a particular portion of the card...even though i cant find any issues with it, all i can assume is that there is some performance issue in that sector, not enough to create errors on the PC but below what WP is needing.
Wow that's strange... And yes, I can replicate the same situation consistently. It's always Data for some reason. I just can't tell if it's upload or down
Ok one thing I do notice... It will reboot MUCH easier with specific radios. Others will last much longer before they reboot.
try dumping a few 100MB of music on, if its anything like mine it may be enough to get it working,
To be honest there is so many different stories on here with various issues, including one from myself i dont think there can be a single answer, if a different radio works better than thats one step, try filling more of your SD that another step, keep building it up until you get somewhere, dont think there is much more i can suggest im afraid, sorry!
Hello wise xda guys.
Any ideas why my hd2 freezes after some time, when I use gps with osmand or maverick (or a couple of other software I tried before and unistall). It freezes completely, and I have to remove the battery. While it is working (before freezing) everything works fine.
[Another symptom (maybe irelevant) is the very slow gps fix (the first time), which deosn't really bothers me (I'm a patient person). I'm just writing it here because maybe there is a relation]
I use: Froyo 2.2.1, mod: Cleandroid 2.55, MAGLDR 1.13.
Otherwise the telephone is more or less stable
thnx
Same issue it seems...
Going to re-flash WinMo and test there.
I'm having the exact same issue lately and it is not funny/safe at all.
I first had it happening in google navigation all the time and now in iGO and Waze.
Can this be from Rafpigna's undervoltaged kernel or be a hardware issue?
Unfortunately the device freezes completely and doesn't give any error.
Does a log exist somewhere?
Any help is more than appreciated!
Yeap, still the same problem and I can't figure out why.

I think mine is related to heat.
Left it in my pouch and placed iGO in demo on a long roadtrip. After 15 minutes the phone was warm and the screen was frozen so I had to get the batt out again.
More than frustrating since I have a 700km trip to do on Thursday.
Not sure about the heat
I had the same suspicion, that the heat was causing the freezing ) funny language ah?).
So I tested it while keeping it cool (I protect it from the sun and remove the car charger), but still the same happened. After some time it froze again. (the phone was cold)
I have a suspicion that a possible reason is the rendering of the maps. I've noticed that I have the problem, mainly when driving a car, where the maps images should change more often. I kept it in my pocket and made a few hours trekking, with no problems. Though in my pocket I had the app running in the background and I only open it a few times, just to add some points on the map.

I'm also having GPS freezing issues, but probably way worse than you guys. I just got my phone from service center, but the issue still exists. I just quote my comments from an another topic:
I've now got back my HD2 from the service center. The GPS is now working, but not in Android. When I was using WinMo 6.5 with WWE 3.14 and 2.15.50.14, the GPS worked great. Fast lock, TomTom worked well and Google Maps worked fine. Then I decided to get Android again and after I installed everything, I discovered, that I had the same exact issue like prior the repair. The GPS starts looking the signal, if it doesn't find it, nothing bad happens, but when it does find the signal, it causes the phone to freeze. Instantly after the signal is found, it causes instant freeze. Screen stays on, nothing happens. What can cause this? I haven't yet tampered with the gps.conf settings, but I don't even think that it could fix the issue. I'm really going crazy with this.
Yeah, I'm thinking also its a driver issue. My current Android build is RAFDROID 4.0.2. And since this issue seems to be exatly the same, like before the repair, the GPS probably doesn't work in the earlier versions of RAFDROID. However something has changed in my phone, because the GPS has worked with nand Android builds in the past and even with RAFDROID 3.0. Now however, it doesn't matter which build I use, the issue always exists. Could it be caused because of the GPS module? I mean, does the WinMo 6.5 QuickGPS app save the AGPS data directly to the GPS module? So could there be some kind of corruption in the GPS module? I was having some sudden reboots, while using Google Maps and TomTom in the WinMo, but I was able to fix them, by hard resetting the device.
First time I started having this issue was, when I updated from RAFDROID 3.0 to 3.1. After that, the GPS has always caused instant freezing, when using GPS in the Android. Even downgrading back to 3.0, didn't solve the issue. Now I'm having this issue with all Android builds.
It's possible that my GPS module or "chip" could be somehow broken physically, but it's no point sending the device back for repair, because they send it back and say, "there's nothig wrong with the GPS". I'm really hoping it's not a hardware issue, because if it is, there's really nothing that can be done. I have still about a year left from the warranty and changing the module myself, will void the warranty. I just cannot understand why does the GPS still work in WinMo, but not in Android? Because if the module was somehow broken, should the GPS be defective also in WinMo?
I have tried flight mode, Wifi and 3G off etc. and the GPS DOES WORK. So the chip is not dead.
Just did some more testing on mine to try to find the issue.
I have always had a freez when I used google navigation with the sat image from the start in Android. But last week it happened in iGO and Waze which scared me a bit.
As a matter of test I installed WinMo again last night. Fantastic OS btw! and installed iGO.
Everything was up and running at 2am and I decided to let it do a demotrip of about a 1000km. The demo also sets the GPS receiver active.
I placed the HD2 it next to the fan of my laptop which is always on to generate some extra heat.
This morning at 10am the demo was still running perfectly.
Just reinstalled Android on it again. After 3km's in iGO 'gps signal lost' . I cannot get it back in any way. The GPS symbol is stuck in the bar above even if you disable GPS in the settings. So reboot is the only way.
This is getting very frustrating for me since my phone needs to work as GPS and may not fail.
Also a funny one is that it doesn't seem to matter on mine if the gps.conf file is on there or not ;-) lock time when the hd2 works is approx 1min

I'm having this same exact issue! However I just discovered that the local service center did not change the GPS module or antenna. So this might be the reason why my GPS doesn't work. The service center was fooled that the GPS works, because they didn't test the GPS thoroughly. YOU HAVE TO ENABLE FLIGHT MODE OR TAKE THE SIM CARD AWAY TO TEST THE GPS!. If you don't do this, you are being fooled believing, that your GPS is working, but it's not.
You guys should test your GPS, by going back to WinMo 6.5 and leave your sim card away from the phone. If your GPS can find the signal even without the sim card, congrats, your GPS is working. If you want to be double sure, enable flight mode and try again. If your GPS cannot find signal, your GPS module and/or antenna is broken and needs to be replaced.
Well my module is working.
Easy way to test it and no need to take out your sim or so.
Just use the cab file attached to this post. If you will start it the first time it will scan the ports so you can end up with a small error in regards to BT but it not a real error.
The tool will continue to com port 4 where the gps mod is active on.
Go stand outside and voila, mine starts to show bars like it should be.
I'm taking a different approach now.
Ckeared everything and also took a fully fresh formated sd-card .... (as I type now not working)

Thanks! You just saved my time a lot! I downloaded and installed that app and I was able to get a succesfull GPS connection and now I can even get GPS lock, when flight mode enabled or sim card removed. This was impossible before installing this app.
However it seems that we are both suffering from the same issue. GPS does not work for me in Android. It has worked in the past, but nowadays, it doesn't matter, which Android build I use, it either freezes the phone and only way to fix this, is by removing the battery or it doesn't find the signal at all. Sometimes the GPS stays on, even if I turn it off. The blinking GPS icon goes away only by restarting the device.
If you are using gps navigation software on sd card, try format micro sd card with FAT32 and DEFAULT ALLOCATION SIZE option, do not choose allocation size such as 32,64 or any other except DEFAULT.
Try it and GL.

Did anyone try this method? Looking at other threads I see people saying that only a warranty repair will fix the issue.
freezes
Hi. I had the same problem, i try everything formating sd, different builds and kernels. I disable "use wireless networks" and GPS work with no freeze.
Do you have a freezes on games?
did any one found the answer ?
is it a hardware problem ?
or a software ?
Thought I'd throw in that I'm having the same problem running hyperdroid rom on a telstra hd2. GPS finds a lock, works for about 2 mins then freezes requiring battery to be taken out to restart. I'm leaning away from a hardware issue as copilot worked perfectly on the same phone when I was running windows 6.5...
Just an update, after installing the new GPS fix from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100114

Hi all,
I'm facing the same issue reported in post #12. I'm actually using latest Rafdroid HD (Froyo Sense) build on SD. Do you think I can try the fix in post 18, also if it is for Gingerbread builds? Please advise.
Thank you.
