Setup Application (first boot)

Hi all,
I tried searching the forums for this particular weirdness but could find it.
I recieved my HD2 last week and had the crackling ear piece problem, with no help from T-Mobile i decided to flash the device with the latest HTC Rom it corrected the problem and everything is working fine.
There is one little thing i have noticed though which is weird, when booting the phone for the first time when it had the TMO rom it gave me a pre-setup application or firstboot application whatever you want to call it.
With the new HTC rom it doesnt give me this when i hard reset is this normal?
Thing is when i turn off the phone for a brief moment it shows the same setup application as running in the background?

switch teh phone into airplane mode and you should find the background app comes to teh front and you can complete it.

wouldn't a task manager allow you to switch to it?

[Q] Help! auto/random reboot and stuck

Hi dude?!! I dont know if you ever experiences random reboot.
I got my phone not responding (when touch power or menu button) and i could see the Samsung logo hazy. But always resolve by reboot (hold the power button for 8 seconds)
I didnt root or apply lag fix. Is this probably cause by certain app ??? i use some of optimizer or tweaking app.
Usually this happen when i didnt touch my phone over 2 hours. This is very annoying to me. How could i resolve this problems. Does anyone know? please share!!!

Me too
Hello, I have the same issue.
My phone is rooted and i'm using the rom: I9003XXKB1 from Movistar ( spanish operator ).
Compilation number: FROYO.BGKB3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
The phone freezes randomly and i need to force a reboot holding the power button.
Sometimes it directly reboots alone.
Greetings.

Funny ****, got the same issue on my i9000 on 2.3.4 JVP with CF-Root... also had it on Froyo 2.2.1... this sucks big time, any input or hints appreciated.

Try a new fw first and post the results. Dont add anything else then observe. If all else fails, take it to where you bought it from and get a new 1.

I occasionally have a random reboot as well though I haven't had any again after disabling the live wallpaper i had running from GO Weather.
Mine is a GT-9000 / 2.3.3 stock /I9000XXJVO/GINGERBREAD.XWJVH/ stock kernel at the moment
Didn't have the reboots/freezes before the last standard KIES update though.
You said "i use some of optimizer or tweaking app."
I'd say start by disabling/uninstalling all stuff that you don't really need.
Check if there are apps configured to run in the background and disable those as well

I ever think that maybe cause by bad memory management in Froyo, thats why i use that kind of tools.
But, i'll try to get rid of it, and lets see.

Everybody seem concern to latest Gingerbread that actualy still trial ROM
Buts every feedback really needed for I9003 sake.
I have upgrade to 2.3.4 and getting worst after 10min idle. But with some trick from this forum getting better and now still evaluate.

Try this
Select all animations from display menu
go to Settings>Display>Animations>All animations

Hi utkarshshrivastava, i did it. But still no hope
is it related to battery calibration or something like that ???
Now, iam back to xxkb3 an experienced with this reboot issue again
just rooted and use some apps like TitaniumBackup, Go Launcher Ex, Go Weather.
hmm...just dunno how to figure this out, not only with latona, the other device in other brand also experienced it.

[Q] Time Issues

Hi guys and girls,
Been using WP7 about a week now and one niggling little issue is doing my head in. Sorry if it has been mentioned before or is covered under some other issue, I did try a search and got nothing relating to it.
My issue; the clock on the phone keeps jumping to random times.
I am using YukiXDA latest build and could find nothing relating to this isue there either.
Would like to know if others have had this problem and what have they tried to remedy it?
Is it a ROM issue or is it a hardware issue?

Okay, An update
This is happening when I reboot the device.
Is there something in settings that I am missing, or is there a registry setting I can change?

do you have your "date & time" settings set automatically?

Yes

Yes time setting is automatic, even tried setting it in the registry.
It got that bad yesterday my phone reset itself to Jan 1980.

It sounds like the battery *may* be ****ed up, I have no idea about the htc hd2 (I've only had mine for a couple of months), but on my old phone(s), some of them have had that "time resetting" too, and the people at the tech support said the battery needed to be replaced.
Sorry for hijacking your thread:
I have a similar error with my phone (yukixda v4):
If I send myself a text message at say... 01:35... it's sent 01:35, but the one i recieve has the timestamp at 01:34... this is both with and without automatic time settings..
any ideas?

Truth is no matter what is causing this... TWO big issues for me when choosing a phone software set up.
The phone knows what freakin time and date itis
The phone nor the software on should destroy batteries
but thanks guys it really was fun to play with.

Don't use automatic, mine does the same if I set to automatic.
I thought it was something with Giffgaff as I would set automatic and the time would be right but later on during the day it would be some crazy time and date.
Set to manual and your clock will be fine

dunno about any of that but, i do know that if i boot in to MAGLDR is gets buggered up, doesnt matter if the time is manually set or auto set, it always buggers up, dont boot to it and all is good
, at least for me anyway

I'm having the same issues. Time and sometimes dates getting screwed up. Only started happening to me about a couple of weeks ago now. But it's frustrating at the least. I've switched mine to manual setting at the moment. Gonna see how it goes over the next week.
One thing though, it isn't happening to my wife's HD2. She is using the older version of WP7, I'm currently on Yuki's more recent NODO version...

as per my post above yours if you use magldr or even the bootloader it gets messed up, so dual booting droid may be a reason, or using bootloader / magldr to charge, other than that i dont have this issue

Not got dual-boot on my phone, neither do U boot to magldr to charge... But it's happening to my phone every few days so far. Today it was out by 28mins. I want to see if having it on manual time/date does any better...

i also have a problem with my hd2,
9 times out of 10 when i reboot the phone the time and date will be wrong with no pattern i can spot (started to do this out of the blue- no updates or new roms).
im currently running with a cooked win mo image and android on the sd card.
battery still has a respectable life although seems to run out quicker than it once did so i may purchase a new one. (the old one is just over 12 months old)
also my phone has started to freeze on pin request after receiving a text so im gonna try a new image too
if anyone else has seen problems like these and solved them drop a noobie a helping hand pleeeeaaasseeee....

It's not HD2 related
The same issue happens to me (phone jump approximately 36 hours foward randomly)
The phone was a LG Optimus 7 on official rom but never managed to fix this issue (automatic date or not)

I have the same issue! It happened some months after flashing xboxmods v. 1.11 Rom. It can't be a battery problem because I use 3 different batterys ^^

Revolution HD 6.x Bootloop

Since upgrading to Android Revolution HD 6.0 and now 6.1, pretty frequently (3 or 4 times a day) my phone will automatically reboot and then get stuck in a bootloop process. Taking the battery out gets it all up and running again but its pretty annoying and drains the battery when I don't know its doing it in my pocket
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Actually, I have the same, but since 6.1.1. And I noticed it's not exactly a bootloop. It looks like a hot restart but then the ROM won't show.

Mine kept on waking in my pocket, trying to access the locations app. Flashed virtuous unity instead and find it superior in almost every way. Personal opinion only mind, but I did think arhd was very nice though

i also facing the same problem.. have u all tried to voice out in ARHD thread?

I couldn't at the time because of the ten posts required rule, by the time I'd got enough I was on a new ROM and had forgot to be honest. Plus I reckon my problem was caused by me trying to restore app data through titanium rather than a fault in the ROM itself but then again I could bee wrong... But I did try to find solutions to the problem in the forums and didn't find anything similar to my problem to no avail, not even anyone with something similar so I just moved on figuring that it was probably for the best. Worked out better for me in the end cause I got more practice flashing roms, learned not to try to batch restore apps just in case and learned the benefit of backing up your nice shiny new working ROM

Happened to me once while I was on 5.2.6. It's to do with the date and time setting. Try untick "automatic" and set the time and date manually. Once you manage to shut down your phone you can retick the the automatic option

maybe your phone cant Handel the overclock? try flashing the script to return the CPU to default settings in the same thread you got the ROM from.

[Q]HD2 Boot issue

Hi everyone,
I've got some problems with my good old HD2 but I don't really understand what happened and I'd like to know if some people could help me.
My HD2 was running successfully under WP7/Android, but I wanted to go back to WinMo 6.
It was very hard to flash it (never had so much problem), even with the official rom : long to boot, then animated HTC bootsplash freezing, reboot, displaying first bootsplash without red-written informations... frozen.
Only one solution : wait for a long time without the battery then it was successfully working. But if I had to reboot : freezing in the same way. (with official and custom roms).
Unfortunately, Marketplace were down the day I installed WinMo, so unabled to install my apps.
So I wanted to try new tango roms > 1E FATAL HIT.
If I let the phone cooling down it works again, but if I'm surfing the web my HD2 comes really warm (hard to touch the bottom without burning my fingers), restarts himself and > FATAL HIT...
Any idea ?
(Still the same sd card)
It's been a long time since he last overheated that way.
When I received it, I had some troubles to first charge it. The led turned orange for 1or2 minutes and then went off. I used a fan under the phone and it charged for the first time. Since then only overheating while flashing or under first wp7 roms. No warranty anymore.
I'm sure that the hd2 temperature makes the Fatal hit.
Thank you for your ideas

Maybe you should use task29, wipe the whole system clean, and flash lighter roms such as hyperdroid or any cyanogenmod or MIUI rom you like. Download a task manager too and see what is eating up your memory. Hope it helps.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
I did a few t29 in order to flash back winmo and then magldr, but it didn't change anything.
In fact, even the first boot in wp7 to configure the phone makes it reboot and the phone is a bit warm in only 2 minutes

It's a hardware problem which you really can't fix unless you're willing to take the phone apart. It's a fairly dangerous process and it's likely that unless you have a good amount of knowledge about the subject you'd break your phone completely.

Oh no I was fearing that kind of answer...
But why when WinMo or Android are running, it works well ?
The hardest part is booting (after a few restart freezing and errors), then it's rather ok.

I'm not really sure, but the phone should never heat up enough to freeze, even when in intensive use Sorry, but I don't think your HD2 has much life left in it

Thanks for your reply.
I think it happens every summer since I have it (2years) but I'd be sad to loose my hd2. I'm really proud to have bet on it, sure that it would be the best phone of all time, and it really is.
Brought me the best version of Windows Mobile ever, then Android, and finally Windows Phone.
I don't think there will be any other phone that could do that. It was powerfull (as much as the ones that are released today), and was out just in the good year (when htc was switching to Android and WP but using the HD2 as a reference, making us able to run everything.

I had the same problem, you can try this:
1. Remove the battery from the HD2 and check the middle pin of the row of 3 that should touch the Battery connections. This middle pin is probably offset to the front or even croocked.
2. Gently bend the middel pin back and straight up. (be careful not to break it)
3. Check if all pins are straight up now.
4. Gently reinstall your battery and recharge to full.
With me this happens every few months when I f** too much with the battery and it gets extremely hot. After this bending back its all OK and no heat problem anymore.
