It all started when I upgraded to a new rom. So the first thing I did was ditch the rom and install a new rom. I was running Black 3.0.1 and now updated to Black Satin.
The time it takes to lock up seems to very. I have had times where I could leave it for 4hrs and then hit the power button and it comes to life, other times I can have it sit for 30mins and hit the power button only to find it won't wake up. When it is in its locked up state, it won't even receive calls. It just sits there with the top right led blinking green. Its really getting frustrating.
In order to get it to come back I have to push the reset button on the bottom of the phone with my stylus.
I have been reading as many "lock up" threads as I can on the forum and so far it seems that most are to do with Push Mail. Which I don't use.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
I dont know if its a ROM issue as my does this sometimes (dont know about incoming calls as i dont get that many anyway) I am on the stock T-Mobile rom
I dont use push mail either
doesn't happen much to me (now i said i bet it does it all the time )
I think it seems to do it when i havnt soft restarted it for a while, so it could be that the lock up is due to memory or something and it just needs a soft reset to clear it down
I also have this problem, only a soft reset makes the phone respond. This happens sometimes when the phone has only been reset an hour previously.
It also happened once during the night and caused my alarm to not go off, so I only made it to the office for 10:30!!
Did you guys find a solution or did the problem just go away?
bump
got the same problem.
For me the problem went away only after I installed a new radio and new rom. I honestly don't know what was causing the problem. But it went away and I am happy. There might have been an issue with an installed app, but I never did find any app that directly caused the issue.
I have a major problem with the slide lock function on the HD2. When the screen is locked, if the device is placed flat on a table (screen up), the screen lights every 30seconds, then dims, then goes off, then relights again.
This is killing my battery life. I haven't been able to find any other reports of this on this forum.
There are no notifications waiting on the phone while this is happening.
The only modification I have made to this device is to disable the HTC messaging app (using Zenyee's cab).
Anyone have any ideas?
Have you installed any other software at all?
Hmmm, now it has stopped doing it. Randomly. After doing it non-stop for 3 days, it suddenly stopped.
There's a lot of that kind of stuff going on with the HD2 ROM.

It's not the "HD2 ROM". It's some buggy software that you installed on the phone yourself.
The phone does not do that out of the box (or with the official ROM updates.)
Try to think back to when it started happening, and what you'd recently installed. Uninstalling may not solve the problem, as you can't guarantee that all the changes will be backed out, but try to remember what you installed that caused this problem and uninstall it. If this doesn't work, a hard reset will probably be required.
Hello
My HD2 Worked well for a long time, but now everytime I press the "sleep" key it turns off for half a second then turns back on and proudly displays the lockscreen without me pressing anything. There is no way to turn the screen off and go in standby mode anymore.
Obviously the battery drains so much faster from not being able to have the screen off and this silly problem actually makes the phone unusable
I flashed a few roms using HardSPL and now HSPL2. I'm currently running Artemis 11.0, the problem appeared may days after flashing while using Artemis ROM 9.0. A hard reset seemed to fix it but the problem reappeared. Today flashing 11.0 only solved the problem at first boot.
Anyone had that before? Not sure if it's software/rom related or not anymore. HELP
As far as Ive seen, its only you an me who have had this problem so far.
Honestly, Im relieved to see someone else with this problem.
I had exactly as you described, but using Axlor roms.
It worked fine for 1/2months, then all of a suddon the screen backlight wouldnt go off, but a reset fixed it.
But it got worse and worse.
Now nothing will work...
Ive taken everything back to stock, and i mean EVERYTHING! Not a single app installed.
And I still have this problem. I've tried it all.
I think its a warrenty job....
EDIT:
I also noticed the backlight will go off fine when the phone is charging, is that the same for you?
I just sent the phone off to Tmob today, to see if they can fix/replace it.
I'll keep you informed.
Same problem. Was running fine on stock ROM 1.66 then backlight did not dim and would not go into standby. Put into standby, screen goes off then straight back on to the lock screen. Since then have had other problems at boot, sometimes it locks on HTC white screen needing battery removal, sometimes launches straight into Navipanel and will not exit, HTC sense homescreen sometimes launches in landscape and will not go into normal portrait mode. Reflashed with different ROM's same symptoms persist so have returned to Vodafone UK under warranty, fingers crossed.
i've had this on early versions of the rom i use, the chef fixed it, making me think its the software, not your phone.
I experienced this issue when I minimised a game called virtual pool. Closing it in task manager would then allow me to permanently make the phone sleep.

How come Ive still got the problem after reflashing several times and taking everything back to exactly as it came from the box?

I too have had the navi panel problem.
Im praying they fix mine under warrenty
Yes the problem is exactly what you describe, hard reset and flashing to a stock rom doesn t fix it with no programm running in the background
Navipanel seems to be on randomly sometimes so can I guess it could be related.
I found a fix, after starting the phone, plugging and unplugging the usb cable to the phone WHILE THE SCREEN IS ON fixes it but only until the next restart
Considering sending it for warranty now.
Thanks for replies! If anybody knows more let us know
Update re standby problem
Got my phone back from Vodafone UK today. Was advised software corrupted and that they had reflashed and it had been fully tested and was now working fine.
On power up (even without SD card or SIM) it had exactly the same fault as before, when put into sleep mode the screen comes back on after about 1 second.
I tried the plug in and remove USB lead fix and this also works for me until the next restart so it would seem that this must be a hardware problem.

Ive noticed allot more people getting this problem. So its not only us.
Tmob are replacing mine, so Im guessing its out of our control now.
did any of you guys try performing a task 29 in between flashing roms? it may help

Actually no, I overlooked it.
Probably would have been a good idea
Prehaps thats worth a try Mr Opr

Thanks for this workaround. Now with the urgency gone hopefully somebody finds a lasting solution without the need of sending it in..
I have same problem guys after 4 months using. ...and my HD2 is unusable with no standby. I mean battery gets weak during 2-3 hours. Whats your guess guys is it software problem. Cause Im afraid of this is hardware prob because after reset goes my device in wrong state.
Help!
Sadly I'm running into this same error with my t-mobile hd2....getting serious power drain...can anyone confirm if the task 29 helped at all? Mine won't stay off for more than 30 seconds.
** Found out the google easy sms beta app I was running had a service which was causing the app to come out of standby...uninstalling this app cured the problem.
For me, it was a sd slot problem. When i removed the sd card, phone always waked up after 0.5 seconds, and card was detected as bad.
Now the SD slot was changed (under guarranty) and it work fine, no wake up if sd slot is empty.
Any update on this? My HD2 starting doing this today as well
And I have no usb cable at work to 'trick' it. The only option is to pull the battery which I don't want to do. This is ridiculous. Am I going to have to hard-reset the damn thing to fix it?
FYI I didn't do *ANYTHING* to my phone in a couple of weeks (no new apps, etc.) and it started doing this out of the blue.
You hit the red 'end call' button and it goes black..then comes right back on.
The odd thing is it *thinks* its plugged in because the only screen setting I can get it to acknoweldge is the 'backlight level when charging'. So somehow my phone thinks its plugged in even though my only usb cable is back home.
Grrr. No registry tweaks or temp files I can delete to reset this behavior?
Hey Xda,
For some minutes now my phone is acting real crazy.
If i turn it on (out of standby) it normaly goes to the Slide Lock Screen.
It Does but after a few seconds (even without sliding) it goes off into Standby mode again.
If i slide i doesnt goto the Sense home Screen it just stay there and goes into Standby.
I tried re-installing the device, i did and the phone works for a limited amount of time and then it happens again.
I have a CleanEX UDT HyperROM v15.0
Hope i can get this fixed =(
Oyeah this is the first time something like that happend to me.
The phone is not even a year old,
Thnx all.
Have you just installed the custom ROM? If it keeps happening regularly even after soft-resetting, there are probably conflicts between your ROM and certain other programs. You might want to choose another ROM or go back to your previous one.
I seem to have the most bizarre issue that started happening last night. Ive been running XNote v3 and AEL kernel fine for a long time now.
Whenever my screen turns off (when i hit the power button or the timer runs out to turn screen off) The phone will after x minutes, either auto reboot or turn off (without shutdown animation)
It then remains off black screen and you do not know this unless you try use it again as you cannot power it back on at all, no sound and the phone is off as if you call you get voicemail.
Anyone any ideas what it might be?
I cant work out if it is software/ hardware related as nothing has changed software config wise and i have not done any updates.
I was thinking of maybe going to a stock kernel and see how that lives.
Its very easy to replicate and the only way to bring the phone back to life is to take the battery out.
If i am using the phone its perfectly fine, no reboots, freezes etc. Its only when screen is off.
OK since no one replied back but a lot of people viewed i thought i would provide an update.
Since factory resetting it
changing battery
wireless charging
removing sim
removing SD card
changing rom
changing kernel
changing back to stock
remove root
boot loader etc
all failed! a new replacement motherboard fixed the problem. i am unsure what caused the fault as it was working perfectly for over a month.
