I've heard of a lot of rooted android users on the HD2 have had some issue with freezing. My Hd2 froze every time I put it to sleep, and I had to take the battery out and reboot android (exceller's android loader does an excellent job, as in you can have access to more than one android build on your HD2 with it's multi-boot program.) But I think i found out a solution to the cause of this freezing, at least for me! I hard reset the phone (I don't use winmo, so it's not an issue for me to wipe my phone to factory settings.) and then i unchecked 'auto adjust backlight' and put the back light to a 100%. I haven't had a freezing problem since.
Tested on android builds:
2.2 Froyostone sense
2.2.1 HD2NexusOne
cyanogen MOD 6
I hope this helps with your issue ;p
that means it wasnt frozen, just the backlight was off
point it at a light source and it would be visible again

I've tried 3 different roms and while in standby my phone freezes. The screen goes black and won't come back on, and eventually the buttons won't even light up. Is this a known issue or could I be doing something wrong? I am running all stock windows mobile.
Thanks in advanced.
should post this in the Android thread.
However, I'll give you my $0.02. I've noticed there is a lag in my build as well. Sometimes it won't seem to wake up. Often I just need to wait a bit and it wakes. I've read that two things can be causing this: 1) autorotate in android (you can turn off in settings, but I kinda like it) and wrong ROM. Peruse the 'droid threads for good ones, everyone likes Miri's.
This happens to me too. I've tried a few of the recent builds and when I put it on standby and wait 5 minutes I get a black screen and nothing but backlight.
EDIT: Reformated storage card and so far so good. Give this a shot
Been months since i last was on xda, is there a ****tional android rom now? SWEET! Where do I finde it, wasnt able to find anything by searchin on the forum.
Had same problem. And got solved after reflash my radio to 2.11.50.26_** and ROM to ChuckyROM GTX + CHT 1.8.5. Also formatted SDCard(so i also used a fresh android build).
So i would also suggest formatting your SDCard to FAT32
I formatted the SD and the problem remain. I noticed that (in my case) if i start android from WM Explorer, i dont have the problem. If i start android from Android Windows Boot, the phone freeze in standby. Give it a try, dont have to modify anything. Good luck!
I have not heard of no one posting this problem I am about to post. I hope I can get help with it. The last Standlone android build I used that worked for me was the first one by dan1j3l called LeoFroyo-1.0. I have been trying to test out everyone's android build and for some reason for each build after it creates the data store and I see the boot screen the android screen say's "powering down" and my hd2 automatically shuts off and then i have to turn it back on which then makes it go back to windows mobile. It is annoying to having tried each build and the end result is my device auto- shutting down on me after the boot screen. What should I do to resolve this problem.
This problem reccurs on every single build you use? odd.
and it actually boots into android? past the boot logo/splashscreen?
Hmmm... its most likely not androids fault, make sure youve HSPL'd your device, update your radio ROM to something past 2.08 and throwing on ChuckyROMdroid (as your windows mobile ROM) would perhaps help.
Also, format your SD card to FAT32 BEFORE using any android build, and make sure your battery is charged?
My personal setup is:
HSPL3
ChuckyROMdroid
2.10 radio
ShubCRAFT 1.4c
make sure to run clrcad before HaRet, and that's about as much help as i can give off the top of my head
I have a Tmobile hd 2. It has hard spl on it. Can I go higher than hdspl 1 on my tmobile hd2? I tried the formatting numerous tiimes. I thiught it had to do with something in the startup file. It's just weird how as soon as the boot screen finish loading and I see the android screen interface my device vibrates then it notifies me on the android screen that it is powering down or it just vibrated then power down automatically. It's a real tease.
It is mind-boggling that this single model can cause so many different type combination of problematic behavior, isn't it?
Makes me feel guilty sometimes, that I suffer no serious setbacks running android with my combination so far.

Same with me, the so called robot voice, never had it once. And I've been using android from the beginning, also every build have always loaded up for me with no problem.
What battery are you using.. i had the same issue with the official extended battery.. it;'s a known issue if it's that ...
The whole time I have been using the official extended battery. I think when I started using the very first build I had the original battery. I will swap it and see if any there is any change. That is a good point.
There are some workarounds for extended batteries though:
You could ignore the readings from the battery in the kernel
Pro's: No need to swap batteries, able to charge while running android
Cons: Unsafe to charge while running android, inaccurate battery readings if they work at all
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7700703&postcount=1
Or you could cover the middle pin of the battery with a little piece of paper or tape
Pro's: Completely safe
Con's: you won't be able to charge under android, you'll have to reinsert the battery and boot windows every time you want to charge, inaccurate battery readings
It worked. Who would have thought the official Htc exteded battery would cause somethng like that to happen. I hope future builds have a way around this problwm. I am suprised nobody posted spmething regarding this. This phone is the best yet but I know having an extended battery is essential to it's longevity use in the day.
extended battery BP-E400 caused the Auto-Shutdown problem
hi guys, I got exactly the same problem you you guys encountering. I accidently swap back the original SLIM battery and the Android Froyo boot smoothly without auto-shutdown. I can somehow confirmed that the auto shutdown is caused by the extended battery BP-E400.
New ROM eliminated Auto-Shutdown problem
try this Android Mdeejay Froyo Sense v2.3 NextSense ROM:
(sorry, the link cannot be posted. Moderator disallowed. But you can google around with the keyword above.)
Works flawless with my extended battery. No more auto-shutdown. YeeHah....
Im using darkstone's android version on my htc hd2 tmobile 1024mb with 2.12 radio, hspl 3, newest chucky rom gtx lite and every once in a while my phone would freeze up for about 10 secs then resume functioning. This is very annoying and frustrating so i was wondering what can i do to fix this?
mine does it too with a completly different rom..
i think it is because when the screen is off it goes into a "sleep" mode where the cpu gets throttled back to save battery..
when you push the button it takes a few seconds for the cpu to load everything up and resume the phone..
its probably because your loading everything off the sd card and its alot slower then the inernal memory.

this is a known issue on all builds thus far.
try disabling autorotation in display settings. this fixes it for some but not for others (me)

Some people say problem is less when they calibrate g-sensor in winmo before started android
I've had this issue on every build as well. Usually for me it gets worse progressively to the point I have to un-install or add a different build. Thankfully when it happens there's a build that is released that I haven't tried.
mines done the same on all builds tested and I am constantly changing it, but downloading 160MB every 3-4 days is getting a little old... I'm going to look into a faster micro SD card..
I had freezing issues like everyone else but mine was when i restarted the phone at once it loads up it would freeze at the first sync. Other times would be during any game play or any cpu intensive app. i found it to be a combo of things. i realize that the sync freeze was due to the hd2 trying to grab all my 120 emails for the gmail app. so i went and deleted al my emails and it hasn't freeze since. i also disable full weather animation, turn off all unneeded sync like stocks, news, and disable any sense widgets that i did not need, also turn service provider to manual and not auto. My phone hasn't freeze once in 5 days ( fingers crossed) versus 3 or 4 per day before i did this. hope it helps someone

hello guys,
in several threads i found people with same issue, but there hasn't been started a discussion about it:
it happend now 3 times that my hd2 went out of battery during night. no problem i thought, but after plugging in and start the phone android gave me errors like force closing swype, sense and other apps... since the errors seem to be all about apps which ran before the phone shut down, i guess android killed the applications and make them unusable.
do you ever had this issue? it's really bad to know that you are screwed if you don't have a charger nearby when battery is running out and you have to do a fresh install of android! maybe someone has a solution for these forced closing errors - this will help a bit until android is able to shut down controlled without destroying running tasks... if there are threads around here which i haven't found with same topic, i'm sorry!!!
my specs are: goatrip android 1.0 rom, mattc 1.6b with sense (rmnet image)
p.s: hopefully you can follow my words (from germany)
Get hold of titanium backup, do scheduled full backup, and if u get force close issues do a full system data restore, trying to find an app though that will force a clean shutdown when battery gets to 10/8% though, as that would be the safest option until nand
sent from my HD2 running Android using the xda-developers app.
it did happen to me twice and to friend of mine once within a week...the problem is that even i have Titanium Backup in this case is useless as it is constantly force closed by android. almost all games disappeared from the phone as well as few other apps. basically android becoming unusable. the only thing different from your situation is that my battery did not go flat...it happened when battery level was around 50-60%. I do not know what my cause it and would be grateful for any tips how avoid those situation in future.
I've switched from windows to android for my htc hd2 and I've been experiencing a lot of freezing/hanging issues. I had no choice but to pull out my battery to restart my phone a lot of times.
Does anyone encounter the same problem after they change to android? Or is it like this? It's like, when i play a game, it'll hang sometimes. playing music halfway, it'd hang. or even using GPRS and it'll hang. =.= help!
btw, i'm using the SD builds. It doesn't really matter which sd builds cuz i tried quite a few and I'm still getting a lot of hangs randomly here and there.

Care to tell us more ?
Radio?
WM ROM ?
Android ROM version ?
Hi, I've been experiencing the same problems. I'm booting android through WM 6.5 through the SD card method. I've tried the AmericanAndroid (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652), a HTC sense ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954030), a MIUI ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058809) and Darkstone's superRAM froyo. They all tend to crash randomly after a while, and there's no way to solve the problem but pull out the battery... One reason suggested on the forums was that hot weather tends to make the HD2 overheat and crash, which makes some sense because I live in Singapore (that's tropical, btw). But my WM6.5 doesn't crash nearly as often...
O another thing: whenever I boot into android through SD, I tend to get high battery drains of about 60mA. One solution I've found was to shut down the phone, then hold the volume down button while booting in WM6.5. This brings me into a multi coloured screen (is it called the bootloader or something?), and I pull out the battery. After which I boot into WM6.5 normally and boot android from the SD card. That normally brings down the battery drain to about 10mA, but I'm not sure how this works/why it works that way/what side effects this may have... Besides this I follow all the standard procedures, so I'm not sure why android crashes on me so often...
Flash NAND Android ROM and all your troubles will disappear.
Please ensure rom you flashed is the appropriate one. Check ur devicd model, choose rom for ur device, read faq/explanation from chef who built thd rom. Check recovery partition required for your choosed rom. Yesss flash nand rom and flash into ur nand. If u prefer sd rom ensure ur sdcard is in good condition

hi,
1. try booting into WM6.5 stock rom, w/o any modifications. you should be able to download through the htc website
2. try using WM6.5 a while, see if it hangs/restarts itself. there shouldn't be the case if you're using stock rom.
3. if you still face the restarting/freezing problems even using stock WM6.5 rom. send your phone for servicing.
As my warranty was still valid, i sent my phone for servicing and they changed the whole motherboard of my HD2. Now my phone is running smoothly on both WM6.5 and Android.
The service that HTC offers in Singapore is quite good. You can call them to come to your house and collect the phone personally. If you need, you can ask for a loan phone. They'll repair and return your phone to your doorstep in about a week's time. I'm pretty happy with their efficient service Tell me which company will come and collect your phone at your doorstep and send it back to you when it's all good. Thumbs up all the way for them!
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the replies. I switched to NAND with hyperdroid by pongster, but the crashing persisted for a while. It seems that the connection between the SD card and the phone is the problem. There was once that I got ~60mA of battery drain, then I pulled out the SD card and the drain went down to ~10mA (I was running on NAND of course). I then went on to try a difference SD card (a 4GB sandisk), and the the HD2 stopped crashing. It has also never crashed with the SD card removed. Moral of the story: a very stable SD connection is essential if you want to use SD builds...
