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?

[Q] Help wanted from Android Wizard!

I know this is not the right section for this, but I wanted to ask anyway since us noobs in de General Section can't figure it out, and this is the hangout spot for our android wizards!
edit: guess the thread got moved...
Problem:
A number of users have problems with some process taking up 100% CPU all the time causing massive lag and battery drain!
Using OS Monitor we have identified the process to be /init. We tried all sorts of things but nothing helps. After a reboot or hard reset the problem disappears, but comes back after a while. It would be great if some android expert could point us in the right direction!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826507&page=3
Thanx in advance!

Thread moved to General.

bump
Can I bump? Is it allowed?
Anyway I just bumped....lol

i dont have the link you can use google to find it but there is a massive thread on this over in the offical android forums, it has been running since 2.2 came out (maybe even longer cant remember) and its not DHD specific affects lots of devices and it seems to be an issue with android itself that google needs to sort out
imo try reflashing the device with the RUU, if that fails then your out of luck cause there is no solution to it at all

Please Someone Help me, What is wrong with my Phone!!!!

Alright im not going to lie to you, i dont know much about the adroid build but i managed to figure out a way to install adroid on my phone
HTC DESIRE
mod version: darkstone HD2 Froyo V3
Build number: DeFrost HD2(A0SP FRG83+CyanogenMod)
Okay so everytime im on my phone, i always lose internet connection when im on 3G, like it spans for about 10-15 minutes and then it will disconnect me. Then i have to turn on airplane mode and then turn it off and it will enable my 3G again, if i turn on the 2G network, i can use the internet for alot long but it still manages to disconnet me along my 3G. So now im mind boggled of why it constantly does this for no reason.
I tryed updating my radio but when i tryed putting the different radio on my phone, my htc screen would just stay at the 0% and it wouldnt upload onto my htc. So i had to take out my battery and start from square 1 again. Also does anyone know why my battery life is so terrible?, i fully charge it and it only lasts for about 6-7 hours at most. It frustrating because i absolutely love the adroid vs my windows 6.5 OS. So if anyone of you can please help me with this problem.
Do i need to install a new build? or tell me how to correctly update my radio, something, are my apn settings wrong? like i just dont know. So if anyone can help me, it will be greatly appreciated, thank you

Mate - this is the HD2 forum. You should be asking here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=594
Very few people in the HD2 forum will have any clue as to what your problem is. More people in the relevant forum will have help for you.

[Q] Android Crashs On/After Phone calls

Hi everbody,
i'm a newbie within the Android on HD issue. I have read many threads but i didn't find a solution about my problem.
First i have tried the 'AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.5 CM7' SD-Version and i have the following problem.
If i get or take a phone call the display goes black and there are no reaction on key presses or so on. I think the android is crashed.
Only accu on/off will help
Did anyone have some i idea about the reason.
Best Regards
Superelmo

This issue is known by user, you can digg up on ACA build topic.
You need to put minimal freq of cpu to higher then 128 to possibly fixed it.
Imo, i had similiar issue in latest build, manage to fixed somehow by using Setcpu app or you can do that in system part of Aca build.
You can try this:
Put Governor on Interactive
Put Min Freq on 245 and Max on highest possible(or keep default value).
On setcpu if you use put mark on "set on Boot".
Cope is working hard on ACA build, he will fix issue for sure in next builds.
But if you cant fix issue, for now ill recommend you NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.0 SD which for me works perfectly(this build is based on kernel Tytung version 11).
Link NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.0: https://sites.google.com/site/nexushd2android/nexushd2-gingerbread/v3-0/download
Topic link(its in NAND section but he also provide us with sd builds there): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
I hope this help you.

and please, next time post in the proper forum, there's a Q&A forum for android just for that purpose. and you can always ask in the build's page, because users who have experienced similar problems will be able to answer you faster, since most of them would subscribe to the build's thread.

OPen the base Band Switcher,It is in advanced option in the settings.Choose an appropriate one.Another thing about hanging up.The 8th march build by quarx is buggy so u might want to wait for the next nightly

Thanx a lot.. i read a few posts and found the answer to it..
the problem i am not facing is that whenever i keep the phone idle for some time... the signal bar on my phone goes colourless hence internet stops(full signal remains) .
Its shows full signal along wid the E sign (although i use 2g) but its colourless instead of the usual blue hence i am unable to do internet on the phone..
i then have to either reboot the phone or toggle the mobile data On/Off option to get it starting again..
I read that somewhere 3G stops after being idle to stop excess data usage .
can this problem be solved without such hassles of togging??

do please excuse me, as im in no way a real guidance to your issue. As im a newbie and using a miui version, and not a cm.
but in case im mistaken, theres an option of saving battery (at least in stock rom of the defy) that makes wifi signal go out after 30 minutes when the screen goes off.
Even more, lots of battery optimizers have that option, and may be (im just expeculating right now) thats the case in that cm rom you have....
Try going to the battery settings and disable the "power save" stuff.... and test if it keeps on happening for you.
Remember that wifi costs LOTS of energy. and youll have to ask yourselve if isnt better to just toggle on/off the button and get much more time of "awake" phone instead of having your phone die because you go to sleep and forgot the wifi on.

First check internet is working without install any software after flash your phone.....I also faced similar issue but after I found out one of my software(call master) is the reason for that issue..
So try this one
