Leo getting very hot

Recently, my hd2 has been getting very, very hot and the battery is draining in a few hours.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is it going to be a case of replacing it?

Have a look at the processes. See if there are any abnormal processes that take up huge chunk of memory.
If problem still can't be identified, perform a hard reset. That should solve the problem.

Which radio are you using? Started experiencing something similar after upgrading to the 10.5 radio.

2.08.50.08.
Im going to re-flash, and see if that will help at all.

any abnormal heating means there'z enough current flowing to actually raise the temperature of the device, i cannot believe just allot of open apps are able to do that.
if hard reset doesn't solve, it's a clear case of waranty replacement

Maybe is due to storage card? Try removing your storage card or use another card.

Done.
I know for a fact my memory card has something wrong with it, it doesn't always work in the phone or my SLR.
But could it really cause heating?

I had the same symptoms that you mention: overheating, fast discharging of battery. The new memory card was to blame - I formatted it using the phone utility and voila!
try that and report if it helped...

Indeed, it worked
But now the phone is with Tmob being fixed... Backlight wont go off, at all lol

I'm having the same issue. My HD2 has all of suddent started heating up and the battery discharges quite quickly, from 100% to 15% in the space of 3 hours. I have tried a hard reset installing the ROM again (which I have done loads of times before) formatting my 8GB SD Card and also using the 2GB SD Card which came with it. Another thing which I have noticed is my Internet connection has dropped dramatically, I no long get push emails off my exchange server and send/receive of my IMAP email takes ages even on WiFi.
I have reported this to HTC already, I guess my next option is to report to Vodafone, good thing I still havent cancelled my insurance that came with the phone. Wonder if offered a replacement I would still opt for the same phone or go for one of the android HTC handsets, any suggestions?

Phone keps freezing

This is starting to become a constant issue and very annoying that i have to turn my phone off and back on. Also it lags like crazy and yes i check task manager nothing is open. This phone is an amazing piece of hardware but has a terrible software built into it...WHy the **** didnt HTC fix these issues when they released it on T-mobile they had 9months...

do an experiment. Try taking out the Micro SD card for a day and see if it still is having latency issues.

Mine only does that because my sd card is full of music and gps software. So it's to be expected if yours is the same. I was told by HTC if I want to keep music on my phone I should have it on the phone and not on the sdcard. Because every time you plug it in or turn it off it forgets where the music is stored on the card and what music is on there and has to refile everything.

Yes, It's the sd card...it sucks!

Terrible Phone
My first phone kept freezing even after I Master Reset it. I did that 3 times. My sd doesn't have anything on it except for the preloaded pictures that were already there. To keep my phone from freezing, I have to "End All Task" every time i use it. It still froze. This became so annoying. Finally, i got fed up. I felt i got a defective phone. I went back to the TMobile store and got the phone replaced... Got my second phone.... was so relieved... for a few days only!!!! Until the second one got defected too. The vibrator stopped working and the weather sense thing was weird. It kept displaying a moon when it's like mid-day with the sun out bright and shiny. Browsing the web was hell. I Master Reset it.... same thing... today, I went back to TMobile to return the phone. Don't be fooled by the looks... the inside is rotten!

Windows Live/Hotmail.

I use to have freezing issues as well until I stopped windows live/hotmail from synching my mail automatically. I have my hotmail setup manually now. I've not had any freezing for several days now and I do not have to close ant apps with task manager. In addition, my battery life is greatly improved.
By the way, I am using the sd card that came with the device. Hope this information helps.

Thats the thing i dont have my email set up to automatic, i have gmail set up on manual...

My phone never freezes anymore. I upgraded to a ROM that gets rid of the HTC messaging client. Thank God!

I hate Microsoft's messaging client and i like HTC's client, so i don't want to turn it off but it is so slow if you have lots of messages.

my phone was freezing every day and even did a few resets and nothing. finally flashed a cooked rom and almost all the problems went away. i started out with energy's rom and that thing was crazy fast, no more lag at all. now im on dutty's (just because its oem looking) and its fast and problem free, phone never lags and never freezes on me like it used to and its just as fast as energy's. so i suggest that to everyone here having problems. since i was in the same boat. im still using the oem sd card also.

Thoughts on DVP crashing issues

I've had the phone for about a week now, and it's been really crash-prone and unstable for the first couple of days. I previously had an HD7 for 4 weeks, so I immediately set up my DVP like I had the HD7 set up.
It was so buggy, I hard reset at least a couple of times in those few days. My most recent hard reset was on Sunday, and lo and behold, I didn't experience any crashes for 4 days!
That started me thinking. The difference between the previous hard reset and the current hard reset was that I hadn't loaded many apps or any mp3s yet - so I loaded the same amount of MP3s as I had before (about 8gb) and immediately any new programs started crashing! In fact, I think just about anything that wrote to the disk exhibited errors, from newly downloaded and installed apps to existing apps which does disk I/O. The marketplace crashed all the time while downloading or installing apps.
My best guess as to the cause of the issue is that the SD card is corrupting data. As long as you are using the internal storage, everything runs fine - but once data is written to the SD card, things are getting corrupted. I'm not sure about this, it's just a guess.
At the OS level, the internal storage is combined with the SD card into a single logical disk - AKA JBOD in RAID terms. I'm not sure about the OS-level algorithm it uses to determine whether or not to save to internal vs SD card, but my guess is that it writes to the internal first, then when that is exceeded, it writes to the SD card. Even after removing some MP3s, I still had crashes, so I'm guessing that it doesn't overwrite the same sectors that previously held data until all the "fresh" sectors have been used (ie it was still writing to the SD card).
If this is the case, then the culprits could be either A) Dell's crappy SD card drivers corrupting the data or B) a crappy quality SD card corrupting the data. Given their recent QC issues i'm inclined to think it's B - but I hope it's A because that would imply a software fix as opposed to having to replace hardware.
Either way, I'll write a program to test my hypothesis: It'll create a test files of a specific size and then read them back and check that the test data is correct.
Thoughts? Has anybody else noticed similar behavior after filling up their storage?

I suspected the SD card as well, which is why I included the remaining storage space in the options in the poll at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891295
That being said, some others have said that doing a system reset on their phone did not fix the crashing problems. There are 2 major unknown variables here of course - when the phone is using the SD card vs. internal memory, and whether everyone is experiencing the same type of crashing.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if there were multiple causes for the all the crashes people are experiencing - most likely the SD card may be responsible for some of those, while other issues are causing more crashes.
Impossible to tell at the moment, though. But perhaps the reason why people associated wifi with crashing was that they were using the wifi to load more data than they were over 3G?

I've thought about the apps too. AP mobile is one that is involved on my list. Shazam, yelp, where, are others. I an make my hd7 crash with each of them. However, that does not eliminate sd card. Optimal read/write access speed will probably impact crash, lag, and performance.

Based on this thread it sounds like it's probably more of a driver issue.

I've used those apps on the HD7 and I don't think they ever crashed it - not nearly as often as the DVP crashes.

That and also at a much higher rate than 3G typically.

I don't know if I would agree with that. I would hope that drivers would be the same on all devices. To have 1 fail and 20 not fail....is it driver? I would be curious to know what the failure rates would be. Sure we see alot of complaints here on this forum....but there is not a whole lot of traffic about failure of the DVP. All in All, I'm happy with the DVP. I also have a HD7...and I'm happy with that. I have them both sitting here...and when I make a decision to use a phone of my choice...I've chosen the DVP.
With all things being equal, if I get into a fight, the DVP can be used as a weapon.

I've used up quite a bit of storage but the only time I seem to get a crash is when I enable WiFi, otherwise my DVP seems to run stable.

I have the same results, I went crash free for 2 days without WiFi I wanted to test it and turned it back on and it crashed within a few min.
I have a replacement coming from Dell but I doubt they will have it fixed. I'm hoping it would be something that can be fixed by an update.

Mine crashes too!!
I too am experiencing many of the issues that have been posted on this forum (crashing w/wo wifi, while in MP, or when an app needs data from the internet). Twice I have reached in my pocket, hit the power button to bring up the lock screen and nothing happens - just a blank screen. Hence had to pull the battery and reboot.
A couple of other things I have noticed that I am not sure I have seen on the forums. Does anyone else have a DVP where the top left edge and the bottom right edge are not flush with the bottom of the phone? It is slight, but I noticed it on day one. Also, I have a heck of a time with the accelerometer sticking. Sometimes it refuses to go back into portrait mode. No mater how I turn and twist it (360 deg).
Anyone else experience this?

I used to use the power button to get to the unlock screen, but after fumbling with it a few times in the dark, I switched to flipping out the keyboard, which does the same thing. And while it did often take multiple presses of the power button to wake the DVP, I have never had to pull the battery.

I've had the DVP since November 8th, and had it crash on my severely enough for a battery pull maybe 3-4 times tops. This is both on the "engineering" phone and the "retail" phone. The only difference I have with you guys - and this is pretty significant - is that I hacked my SD card pretty much within the first couple of days of getting it. I've upgraded to a SanDisk class 2 16GB.
Now, I haven't particularly filled it up; in fact, I have tons of space free. But, I'd like to set some facts straight:
1) The DVP has no internal storage. Just a few megs (~16MB or so) just so the OS can run if you pull the SD card. Nothing new here; we've seen this during the first days of the SD card hack thread.
2) If you fill up your storage, and applications request for IsolatedStorage, the request will most likely fail if you have (close to) zero storage free. If applications don't check for that, it will probably crash. I don't know if this is necessarily happening, since I don't have a crashing device to observe this behaviour, but that's one hunch. Some of you have said that the HD7 did not crash when you filled up the storage, which might throw my theory out the window.
3) The SD card used in the DVP is also a SanDisk - I tend to trust them with storage reliability. If it is indeed a driver issue, then Microsoft might have some share in the blame as well - MS writes drivers for the OEMs for WP7.
What we need to do is scientifically reproduce the issue. Instead of general data corruption, another thing to check is to see what happens as storage gets filled up.

I attempted to do just that - I wrote a storage test app and ran it on my DVP, and it encountered no issues.
The app wrote test data, filling up 95% of available free space (around 13.3GB), then read it back in and verified the data. I'm now fairly confident that it's not the SD card or the storage drivers that are responsible for the crashing.
I did however, encounter issues trying to download the Rise of Glory game. I had turned wifi off, but it's large enough that it requires wifi or sync in order to download and install. Once I turned wifi on and retried the download, the phone crashed on me.
Let's see if we can verify the wifi + marketplace issue:
1) make sure phone wifi is off
2) connect DVP to computer, run Zune
3) via zune sync, verify that you can install a large game or app on your phone. It has to be one which you haven't downloaded before, as I don't think you can force zune to reinstall an app it knows you already downloaded.
4) disconnect the phone
5) verify the game runs correctly
6) uninstall the game on the phone
7) turn phone wifi on
8) go into marketplace on the phone
9) reinstall the same game and see if you have any issues with marketplace while downloading (freezing/hanging/etc)
10) if everything's still ok, verify that the game runs correctly

@Zaijian
I tried reproducing your flow on my DVP and it didn't crash. But, what is strange is mine freezes (only twice so far) @ random right after playing and trying to get to some other app or switching between app. This tends me to side on the memory as being the culprit or some other component being the culprit. Most likely could be memory related and how WP7 manages to kill an app. Is there a memtest kind of thing we could run on this DVP?

I wrote a wifi transfer testing app and ran it overnight - it transferred 4GB over my wifi (from my desktop to the phone) correctly and without incident.
So, i've confirmed that:
A) there's nothing wrong with writing a single large file to the file system
B) there's nothing wrong with transferring data over wifi
My next tests will be:
1) simultaneously writing multiple large files to the file system
2) simultaneoulsy writing files to the file system and transferring data over wifi
3) some sort of memory test to see if memory is getting corrupted

WiFi seems to be the issue
Not much question that mine locks up when WiFi is turned on. I have been experimenting with this issue for the past few days and while having WiFi on causes random lock-ups, not having it on makes it run without any issues.
Fortunately, most of the areas I use my phone have good 3G coverage so WiFi acting up is not a deal breaker but I certainly hope they are able to fix this with the impending update.
One consideration is could there be an app we all have that uses WiFi that is causing trouble? Has anyone had issues with this from a fresh device? I seem to recall having it lock up early on before I put many apps on it.

My problems seem to occur when I'm going through the marketplace and downloading via wifi.
I verified with my test app that wifi can transfer a large amount of data without errors. This leads me to believe that the wifi itself is not the cause of the issues, but that wifi in combination with other factors may be the cause.

I thought so too but I left the WiFi on and rebooting without accessing Marketplace has been causing lockups as well. In fact, I just noticed it was locked up after a reboot 10 minutes ago and, sure enough, I left WiFi on. I didn't so much as unlock the screen after the reboot although I have also had it lock up while accessing Marketplace.

I'll test using wifi simultaneously with local disk I/O and see if that causes errors.

Android 6.0.1 bugs manifest S7 Edge!

Hello i just bought this amazing phone after coming from Note 5 with android 6.0.1, and it really bugs me that all the bugs i had in 6.0.1 are still there.
The first one is wierd performance in some 3D games, mainly talking about angry birds 2 that slows down after playing for a bit, same happens on Note 5 on 6.0.1 but NOT in lollipop.
Audio cuts in half when playing games, it seems like a new gameservice feature, so far to combat it and the weird color change when launching a game, is to disable the gameservice via package disable pro.
Some animations are not smooth and either too fast or too slow.
What bugs did u encounter?

The Play Store is super slow when I'm on wifi, but every other app functions just fine... it's driving me nuts because I can't download my apps or update anything without burning through my data.

every Android phone have slow Play store since it`s not using cache.

I had 2 issues (well 3) but not sure its Android 6 or Samsung Phone issues:
a) I had to try 3 different microSD cards till one worked - they keep showing up as corrupted (even tho they work ok in other devices) i noticed the bigger the SD storage is the worse it performs (had to use a 16GB as the 64GB Samsung card didnt work - the phone would see it but wont let me create or move any files on it
b) probably a result of the a) issue - as my camera had settings to save pix on the SD card - my camera stopped working - everytime i opened it it would say: failed to open
tried everything but only a factory reset fix it
c) the phone got frozen on the weather page and literally nothing was working - no back buttons, up/down buttons, power off - nothing - it stayed like that 15 min until i performed a battery removal simulation (hold volume down and power button for 20 sec)
Other than that ALL ok - screen is weirdly sensitive - sometimes i touch an app and it acts like long touch?!!
A bit scared of these hiccups

I reported to USA support all those issues, as mine local support stinks bad. it seems that camera app is the major complain and have issues with that, a fix probably will be soon and hopefully will eliminate over processing with HDR.
Now i hope they will release fixes asap for all other issues as well.

Are you sure you don't just have a bad phone? Using multiple cards and having issues with all of them seems like there might be a hardware issue with the card reader.

No problem here with my 64gb sandisk microsd. Which speed class do the cards have and additionally which formatting?
But as already said, it may be that the card reader of your device is simply faulty.

I've done everything
Cleared caches/data, cleared caches from recovery, factory reset, tested the router, everything.
The WiFi works fine when I browse the Internet or download from Galaxy Apps store.

I've solved the issue to my wifi problem after fiddling around. Turns out my router was relying on the DHCP server to assign IPv6 addresses and there was some sort of issue with that, so I switched it to auto-configuration and now the Play Store works again

Same here

You should check your router settings and make sure it's assigning IPv6 addresses automatically. That was the cause of my issue. It occurred to me after I connected to my university's wifi with no problems.

Remix OS - no WiFi on reboot.

Hi, I'm back again with more craaaazy questions!
I'm finding since my recent fresh install of Remix OS that often when powering on the console, the WiFi option is switched off. And not only that, I cannot seemingly switch it back on. I don't think anything is wrong at the router end - we also use laptops, tablets and other gaming systems which connect just fine. And not only that but this seems to be an issue at the console end - the switch on the taskbar is off and I cannot turn it back on. This now results in me powering the MOJO down and then rebooting the system. It's a gamble then whether or not it will reboot with the WiFi working, as even after a reboot it may not restore the WiFi option.
Is there anything I can address to remedy this? What could be the cause? Thanks.
....again....

When mine was acting pretty much just like that, I did two things: moved two other wi-fi devices away from its general vicinity, and rebooted my router. Not sure which one fixed it but it's fixed.
Seems the MOJO is not well shielded against RFI. Not only did I have this problem, but a Roku streamer connected to the same projector will not function if the MOJO is powered up.
Rebooting your router periodically, say once a month or so, is good practice anyway. Leave it powered down for a few minutes just to make sure all its caches get cleared.

Thanks again for replying. Will give this a go.
We only have a fairly small living room, and there's always something nearby connected to the WiFi. I didn't realise the MOJO is prone to this issue. Thanks again though Kevin.

good info was having this issue also with CM12.1 thought it was maybe the rom

Yes it does seem to be the case. If the missus' Amazon tablet is nearby when booting up, the Mojo won't connect. If I move it like 6 feet away, it's fine.
The Ouya was similarly limited with wireless connection.

Oh interesting, my Mojo is right next to a wireless telephone maybe that's why I have this recurring problem? And likely my cell phone using wifi is right next to me as I do the reboot as well.

Actually I have realised over time that there is definitely an issue with WiFi on CM 12.1 and also Remix (I have installed and used both at one time or another). Sometimes when booting up it seems the wifi module simply doesn't load. I usually find if I do a quick reboot using the shutdown app that most times it will then boot up with it in place. Otherwise, I take my cue from the notifications area, and if the icon isn't there then to me the module hasn't loaded at boot time, and no amount of juggling other devices connected to WiFi will change that. Simply put, it's either a bug of the roms or the Mojo itself. I cannot say for certain as I have never used the stock OS, but I hear that people who do use that have not experienced the issue.

Unfortunately a quick reboot generally doesn't work for me. In fact, I have no idea what works, wifi just "eventually" reappears again.

With Remix I have found it has to do with the micro SD card. Remove it and it boots fine. Which was not important to be because I was using an external HDD.

Thanks for posting this. I have removed the 32Gb card I had installed, which was doing nothing anyway, and we'll see if it makes a difference.

Well, not wishing to curse anything here by saying this too soon, but I have to say that after removing the SD card I have indeed had no bother with the WiFi on CM 12.1 on my MOJO. I am most confused, but very pleased that it seems to be OK now. I must have rebooted the device a dozen times since removing the card and each time upon reboot the WiFi has been working as it should.
Have to thank you for posting up this little fix. I don't I would have even tried this without someone pointing me in the right direction. I'm gonna keep an eye on it and post up if anything changes, but so far we're looking good!

Quick bumpage to say, I'm over a couple of weeks in and since removing the SD card I've not had a single issue with the Wi-Fi on the MOJO, and I use it every day with many reboots. For any users still struggling with this issue, I'm using CM 12.1 now rather than Remix, but this fix works. I use a 2Tb hard drive with the console so there was really no need for the SD card. I was very happy to remove it and put it in my new phone.
Thanks again for the solution.
