Problem after problem with HD2.

Hey guys, I love my HD2 but recently ive been having some terrible issues.
I text alot and it really irritates me that when i go to type a text it takes 30 seconds to allow me to do so, it will just be completely unresponsive for those 30 seconds.
Then also anytime i go to change the keys to " £ $ ? symbols and numbers it jumps the cursor back randomly so im still typing before i realise its typing in completely the wrong place.
Im also having the phone do random things without me letting it, it removed the lock screen by itself which i cannot get back and before that it was automatically changing the background and the weather service would randomly select strange citys?

Hi,
sounds like things have gone askew, maybe if all else fails you can do a hard reset (ensuring you back up any data you need first).

That's the SMS load delay bug that has been discussed a lot on these forums. It occurs whenever you have more than a few messages from a person, and the phone tries to load all the old sms messages from that person, but it does it extremely slow. HTC may or may not be aware of it, the hotfix on their site for SMS doesn't seem to fix it. At the moment, your options are to delete SMS history, or to disable HTC Messaging and using Microsofts default SMS (requires regsistry hacking).

Some people have reported that they got an overly responsive screen, I would suggest you try and replace your phone (or simply return it like I did because you can never trust a SMS message has been sent when you send it with HTC Messaging, another bug without solution). The wether
services choosing odd cities might be because of yet another bug that fails to correctly pinpoint your location for the weather app.

I have this fault, and I think it started after the text messaging hotfix, I am going to uninstall; that fix and see if it solves the problem. Have you installed that fix?

Nope, that didn't fix it - is anyone else experiencing this? When I click on the ""12#" (symbol) hey, the cursor jumps back to a point earlier in the test message. Usually it jumps to the last place that I pressed that button.
This only occurs in the HTC SMS Messaging.
I uninstalled the SMS hotfix and restarted the phone but it's still occuring.

Got the same problem here with the cursor jumping back using "12#". I have installed all latest official HTC updates, but none have solved this problem. Really annoying ;(
Anyone got a workaround or custom fix for this?

You can use myphone to back up and archieve your text messages regularly. This will then delete them off your phone but you can still access them on the web if you want to. Keeps the number of messages low and solves the delay problem.

Me too, i got the same problem!
The last thing i installed was the sim contact update.
But at the moment i dont know if i have the problem before that update..

to type immediately without the 30s delay, simply press send and then no then tap again and you should be able to immediately type.
I do also have the number/symbols bug and it annoys the hell out of me! would love anyone that could find a solution to this!

Weird problem in SMS app

Whenever I tap on a message to reply, i cant simply tap to insert text, if i do it take away the cursor and highlights the last message in black. Or, I open then message and have to wait a few seconds for the last msg to be highlighted in black, then enter my text.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks.

I'm not sure whats happening with this bug, but I had this happen on 2 HD2s that I've had so far. It happens with both Swype and the regular HTC keyboard. Sometimes, I'll just be tryping, and all of a sudden, the screen will jump, and highlight a previous message (turn black) and then I have to tap the lower part of the current SMS message to get it refocued back again. Very unusual bug and I hope there is a fix for it.

I can start typing, but as you said it jumpes back. Then I must scroll down again.

It's the crappy HTCMessaging app. It has never been properly sorted since the HD2 came to be. Just do what i did and install a ROM that doesn't have that utterly ****e app on and you'll never look back

Do you know of a ROM for the T-Mobile USA HD2 that doesnt have HTC messaging?
Or is there a way to remove it from my current ROM?

Same thing happens to me today, I start typing, it jumps to the previous message and highlights it in black. Ugh, annoying!

same here
have the same bug and my HTC is becoming very slow..even when there is no application running in the background..have to soft reset atleast once a day..so much for the snapdragon and RAM

Same problem as I have - it's very annoying. Running the 1.66 SEA ROM, with Swype installed - although the problem began before I installed Swype. I find what actually happens is that the phone registers the keypresses, and if you tap on the write message area, those keys you've tapped appear. I believe I read somewhere else on the forum about this problem, but couldn't find the thread. Any suggestions for alternates to HTC Messaging?

[Q] Swype on my Hd2 dissapeared??

I'm so confused... i was using swype.. it just popped out of nowhere
asked me if i wanted to use it, so i said yes because i really do want swype.. i restarted my phone later that day and now it's gone and i have no idea how to get it back??
If someone could help me out i'd be very happy

It should still be an option in your menu. Open any program that uses the keyboard, then press just to the right of the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen. The menu will open, and you can select Swype from there.

There's also programs out there to ensure swype remains the default keyboard after a soft reset. Can't remember which one i used but this seems to do the trick:

[Q] homekey setup on D2?

OK so I just got my D2 last week, and I have to admit its kind of a grows on ya thing. I also have an hd2 as my personal phone so im spoiled with the giant screen. D2 is much more responsive then my hd2 and dont get me started windows lame OS.
BUT....
Why is there no built in "home" key? when Im browsing there doesn't seem to be any way to get back to the desktop of my phone with out hitting the return button and exiting all applications.
Very annoying. And the whole bajillion apps running that can't be shut off. I bought an app that "freezes" them, so far so good. Why do I have to buy an app to open the cmd prompt?
and the searchsoft key. wtf nothing happens.
IS there any way I can hack and re-assign my keys to different functions?
I would like the search key (magnifying glass) to bring up google search any time i hit it, and my home key to always go back to the homescreen.
is this just me being a noob and cant git' r' done or is this a D2/android thing? THis is only my first week with the android operating system, I realy love it, really makes WM look like a pos. yeah and windows 7? it just ads more ghey to the old wm. stil sucks.
Any help would be nice thanks!

Are you using the stock ROM and launcher? or do you use launcher pro or ADW?
the home key should already be assigned to go back to the desktop as far as I know.

Hi yes I still have stock rom. Also my lockscreen doesn't work and when I push the keylock\power button it doesn't fully lock the screen as if I push the volume button the screen turns on. So im not sure what's up. Homekey as I said doesn't work anymore as well.isn't there someway to hack the phone to re assign keypad softkey function? Also none of these keys work on th KB as well. I still havnt upgraded to 2.3 yet. Seems like a hassle to unroot delete every thing and start over. Yes I have clockwork also TI backup pro
Any suggestions would be great

I don't use the stock launcher anymore. ADW and from what I hear LauncherPro both have preferences that change the home key assignment. I would upgrade to 2.3.20 though it's not a big of a hassle as you would think. I've sbf'd my phone twice and factory reseted everytime I upgrade a ROM. It doesn't take that long as long as you know what you are doing and you have backed up what you need. Google will remember your contacts and apps and settings if you tell it to. The only thing I have to setup are my non gmail email and a few apps that I have login info for. You don't have to unroot. You can just flash the new sbf and then re-root and you'll be updated (always flash with a full or near full battery) and I wouldn't be surprised if it fixed the problem. I've never heard of the soft key's not working on the stock ROM. They worked when I used it before we even had root.
The only way I can get my phone to wake with the volume button is to use "no lock" to turn of the lock screen. But if the lock screen is in place the only way to wake the phone is to press power and then use the sliders.

weird screen bug

This has happened twice today. I am using the phone and the voice typing display will not go away. I can use the phone.. .i can go to the homescreen, open apps, look at settings, etc, but i cannot close the voice prompt, and i can't use it.
It essesentially makes the phone useless until i reboot.
I am not sure why it is doing this. Not rooted nor unlocked or anything.. just stock.
The other thing it is doing is that sometimes when i wave my hand over the screen i will see the unlock screen. it will have the time and a lock icon below it ... if i touch the lock icon, it moves to a lower (on the screen) position and when i re adjust to hit the lock again it moves back up. Not sure how to screen shot this... maybe a video from a different phone.
when this happens, it will unlock by pressing the power button. I think this has something to do with the smart lock. DAMN google for forcing you to have a lock when you use Android Pay. Never had this problem on my Note 4 with Wallet.
Anyway, any help on either of these bugs would be appreciated

ok, i can reproduce the bug.
can someone else try this to confirm?
- with the phone screen off have someone send you a text message.
- swipe up directly to messages. ( use the google one, but i am not sure if it matters.)
- reply to the message with a google voice typing
- hit the power button to turn off the screen.
- Have the person text you again.
- open message by swiping up to it.
At this point the tap to speak screen will be there and not go away until you reboot.

no one else?
here is a video showing the problem I can't believe I am the only one experiencing this
