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?

00.008.06 liquidE rom issue

Hi guys, i have a weird issue with this rom, i've been using it for like 4 days now, but lately i've been getting random reboots, this happens when the phone freezes up out random, it shows the battery icons with a ? mark and the phone responds to volumen up and down commands but thats it, also the screen and the capacitive softkeys stop working when this happens to, and when i press the power button it restarts its self, i've alrdy wipe data+dalvik+cache and nothing the device keeps on behaving the same, im about to just re-flash the rom, from my acer s200 experience, acer phones tend to have random isolated issues to specific devices/hardware, and mostly these issues are hard to reproduce, anyways i might re-flash the oem rom today, il see if this fixes it or if its just another issue that the rom it self has, as its a beta release, any suggestions will be great appreciated.
edit: i have reflashed 10000 times it still does it, my last option would be to flash 1.6 but meh i like 2.1 better =]

hic, can u help me up rom acer liquid from 1.6 to 2.1 thanks .

It's most likely the ROM, but, still could be the kernel. I have been using the rooted kernel only, nothing else. Actually some lowmemkiller settings. I was not able to test if removing the threshold settings (I forget what the other thing was too) before I sold Liquid.

I can report bad use of the digital compass, when in navigation with google maps or (f.e.) copilot 8.
Gps receiver says that i'm going forward, but digital compass says that i'm going backward.

Stupid compass
Yes, I have the same issue in Navigation. The compass is fine in Google maps app though

Problems with streak on froyo 2.2 - slow

Hi Gents
after picking up a Streak (UK version) - prev. person had installed froyo 2.2 (DJ_STEVE build) on it, lots of problems, and i've wondered how i can revert back to 1.6 as i can't live with the issues.. In general:
- touchscreen extremely laggy and stops input.. i.e. (freezes). I don't know if you attribute this to general lag.. but if it were lag, it would eventually allow input.. but what i find is 30-45 seconds before it responds again to click something.
- A reboot fixes this, but it re-appears.
- A general factory reset fixes it, but it re-appears.
- When i do a factory reset, when it resets, i have a choice of ADW.Launcher, Dell Streak launcher or Launcher Pro. Choosing any of these doesn't mitigate the laggy behavior or stop it.. although it is less frequent (the lock ups) in LauncherPro then the other 2.
I can't really go 15-20 minutes without it freezing the browser or any input, so i ask if there is a way to go back to 1.6. I can live with many bugs, but not one that stops me using a major portion of the device ..which is really input.

Google sesrch for upgrading downgrading 4399 and you should find it. You have to use fastboot which means yoy have to install a driver on your pc but besides that its easy. Then you can follow the norrmal upgrade path to the official 2.2

[Q] HTC official Rom update (O2 users)

Probably a bit of a long shot this but is there anyone out there using an O2 branded HTC HD Mini, has just upgraded to the official ROM version 1.38.206.4 and trying to run Copilot Live8 version 8.2.0.407 with European maps?
Since the ROM upgrade, 2 issues have surfaced. The first is that screen orientation refuses to use the device settings and defaults to portrait.
The second occurs when navigating and a 'clear turn' situation arises. Just before the turn, up pops this little horror - *General alloc error. There is not enough memory to run CoPilot. CoPilot will will now quit*. It quits and when you re-start, it opens in 'Safety view'! Disable 'Clear turn' and it continues navigating with no errors.
I've tried a hard reset and clean install of CoPilot (on the advice of HTC) which made no difference whatsoever despite being back to factory settings and bare bones.
I've tried just about everything and I am in dialogue with both companies and getting nowhere fast. Can anyone give me some idea as to what might possibly be going on here?
Many thanks,
Andy.

the updat worked fine for me

you could try taking the phone back were u got it from and just say it messed up on its phone

I9000 software official update

I just switched on my computer and was notified that there was an update to kies which brought it to version 2.3.1.12044-18. I decided to upgrade and then connected my phone and was notified that there was a firmware upgrade.
The upgrade gave me me,
PDA JW4
Phone JW4
CSC JW5
I cannot say what the changes are, or what effect it will have on the operation of the phone as it's only been upgraded for 15 mins.

By all reports the only change (from CSC JW4 to JW5) is an upgrade of Play Books. Certainly I haven't noticed any other difference.

I updated too, wonder if it fixes the touchwiz issues since 2.3.6... hmm

I couldn't say. I've been using Go launcher since 2.3.6

I'm the same and hence why I wondered if anyone out there has noticed. Such a shame that a multi billion pound corporation can't get their own GUI working properly; it's like a bad joke.

Can you tell us what are the problems that you have found? With my limited expertise I haven't found any problems.
Thanks.

Ok, the update prior to this one had major freezing issues on the homescreen; literally an random times you can find that the homescreen freezes as you try to swipe between pages; it can freeze after you've exited an app. The freezes can last for 10 to 20 seconds and nothing you can do short of removing the battery will elicit a response from the phone. As soon as I started using GoLauncher I've had no such problems and ergo Touchwiz must be the culprit.

I experimented these troubles but after I have done a hard reset it is now solved.
I reinstalled almost all applications I have been using previoulsy (which were kept during initial firmware update done through KIES but lost after the hard reset) and I discovered that :
APN ON/OFF was not compatible (but was present after initial fimware update)
This was a possible candidate to explain the troubles encountered.
The other candidates are the 2 applications not reinstalled :
- Beautiful Widget (From Getjar)
- Quick Settings
There is another guy who complained about JW4 and who performed a reinstallation of all his applications one by one and said that troubles started as soon as Beautiful Widget was installed.
For the moment (so for Several weeks) I have not had any freeze.
Additional Info : As I saw Cut The Rope experiments was available for Free at Getzar I reinstalled Getzar and .... First Black Screen !!!
Regards
Olivier

Hmm, I only had Beautiful widgets installed briefly and I don't have APN on/off installed. Not heard of quick settings... at any rate I never had the issues until the update so it must be touchwiz or a samsung tweak as Golauncher works perfectly.

Never had BW or APN on/off installed so they weren't the problem. I also did a hard reset and still had the same problem, which I experienced as a huge lag, not a freeze.

Exactly the same for me : I had not any trouble until I update firmware to JW4.
But since I have done the hard reset and not reinstalled Beautiful Widgets (weather wallpaper + meteo widget), JW4 is working very good, it might me a sort of memory management issue which happens only if specific confirguration.
Please not also that When I said I reinstalled all applications it was from the market, no from a backup up.
Also no root performed (as before) so I couldn't blame any kernel ...
