Help please. I was running WP7 and the phone started giving me problems when trying to wake it up and slide away the unlock screen. I thought it may be a bug in WP7 so i reformatted the SD card and flashed back to 6.5. During the first boot the screen functions fine, but as soon as it locks, and I attemp to use the slider on the lockscreen, the phone is unresponsive. Tried soft and hard reset..Phone works fine until the first sleep.
I am starting to think its hardware related but i dont understand why it works fine until the first time it locks itself.
I'm having the same problem. And the freeze also started after trying the wp7 Rom. Even when I'm on win 6.5 it still keeps freezing the screen after first lock. I hope it's not a hardware problem.
Hardware problem, just got back home from the post office to ship mine out. Many threads on it. If you are under warranty, revert stock rom and SPL and send it in. Please answer the poll in m sig below so we can have some good data on which ones are breaking.

From reading this i guess you had a problem before you installed hspl? you may have a got a reply sooner if you had typed the first part of the paragraph as well as the second . Start from the very beginning and go way back past where you installed hspl and tell uncle M3PH what is wrong.
Well, when before I installed it it was been weird every time i pessed the key to go to the lock screen sometimes iwhen I went to unlock it, it would not slide now it is just getting worse.
I'm going to sleep now so I reply in the morning thanks alot mate.

Sounds like the phone is busy with a background task. The text messaging app can cause this as can the music player or album app when they are scanning for new files. HSPL would not cause this. Try backing up your memory card, formatting it and inserting it into the phone with no data on it. Let me know if the problem persists then (this is only a test to prove if i'm right or not).
It sometimes works now and sometimes doesn't from the lock screen.
did you perform the test that i asked you to do?
I was having the exact same problem with stock ROM 1.66 (so far the only ROM I've been using). I thought it was a hardware failure, but then I turned off all the screen locks there possibly are (Windows classic, Windows standard, CHT's screen lock and even PhoneAlarm's screen lock) and without any lock there is no problem.
Then I've installed S2U2 and so far I've had only one 'freeze' which could be undone by pressing the 'on/off' button, which is a big improvement. Still I need to test this a little longer, because sometimes freezing comes unexpected.

Yes I did, It's working a little bit now not good tho it is still frustration I rang up phones for you were I got my phone from and they sent me an Email with some software to install onto my HTC which apparently should stop it doing this but so far I have not recived the email.
what's the software called?
I don't know I have not received it yet they didn't tell me on the phone.
this is a new problem for me. I have been using the most recent Dutty ROM together with Mdeejay Android ROM without any problems. All of a sudden, when I try to unlock the screen after STANDBY, it just wont register my touch, as if I am not touching it. It boots up fine, and on the first unlock works fine, but when the screen lock goes on again (after every standby) it just wont unlock. So I am stuck (I use Exchange and our policy forces the lock after standby, so I have to use it - and its worked fine for ages).
If I boot into Android, it works fine, the unlock works fine, yet strangely when I try to shut the power down, THAT screen also doesnt register me touching it.
I have hard reset but even before I load an app or do anything, the problem exists.
I also reflashed a DUTTY ROM. Same problem.
I tried CHT lockscreen - same issue. After Standby, screen doesnt register my touch.
Anyone have any ideas?
Same problem for me.. Restoring a backup image after being forced to hard reset this morning and now suddenly my HD2 won't wake up after sleeping. Pressing my end key only lights up my buttons but I have to pull the battery to reset. I'm thinking it's related to me having CHT installed, yours however might be a different problem.
I had something similar. It was right after I had installed CHT 2.0 and was looking to make the top and bottom bars transparent. I found a cab that claimed it would do this and installed it. Sorry, I don't recall what cab it was and I have deleted it. When I rebooted Sense would hang and if it got into a lock it would only move the slider a little where it would stop. Luckily, I had done a backup that morning right after I installed CHT 2.0 with Sprite so I restored and all was well.
I don't know if this is of help but I figured I'd throw it out there.
it wakes up, but wont register when I try to swype the unlock screen.

Your lucky you get that far lol.. I don't get any waking up. Plus I now uninstalled S2U2 and still no change. Disabled all locks of any kind and still frozen with sleep of death with in 1 min of hitting power to sleep it. I REALLY don't want to to a hard reset and install everything from scatch.. UGH.
weird update...
It has something to do with which key i witch the device on with. If I use the phone key, I can swype the unlock. If I use the power key, it doesnt register.
Another related issue: when i hold the power key to switch off, it wont register me touching power off or reboot etc. so I have to take the battery out to switch off. Its the same in Android.
Anyone know? Hardware issue?

im having the exact same issue. I have flashed 3 different roms and flashed to the newest radio (2.15).
I started out using energy rom, didnt help. Flashed a newer energy rom, didnt help. Now im using the dusk rom, same issue.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!
It's a quite common digitizer problem lately... it seems the HD2's digitizer is failing on some units, possibly because of usage with android? my father's device acted the same way, only it sometimes did register touch and other times, not.
My device doesn't have these problems, yet. But seeing that a lot of people here are experiencing these issues, and with the notion that I use android pretty much all the time since I first booted my device, i'm pretty sure i'll experience it soon as well..
Make no confusion thou, the assumption that android effects the digitizer are purely my own thoughts on this matter, no such thing has been proven and the conclusion that android is effecting our HD2s is based purely on the statistics of touch screen failures in the last few months since android has been made publicly available in a working form.
EDIT:
Those seeking A solution, as far as I know, the only solution is sending your unit to HTC for repairs, you'll get it back with a note that says that they replaced your digitizer or your screen, at least these are the reports I heard from the other folks whom followed this procedure.
Good luck.
HTC HD2 Screen Lock
I have only used Android a few times on this 'phone and it has a standard HTC/O2 ROM installed so it must just be a problem with the top part of the digitiser. With android running the unlock is at the bottom and is unaffected.
Is there any way of testing the digitiser before deciding whether to get a repair sorted,

A friend was complaining to me about something like this since last week. I could not figure it out so I went ahead and installed Android cm7 and still have the same issue.
Until I read this post after searching through the forums all over Screen now unlocks perfectly fine but only using the green Phone icon. If I try to wake the screen with the red Power button, the screen is unresponsive.
Thanks for the info.
Already happened tome its a hardware issue can't be fixed so if you still have warranty on ur phone send it to htc for repairs b because it tends to get worse n worse soon other keys will start to give in I think that's one reason why most android phone been switching to capacitive buttons because hardware causes this sorta issues and send it in for repairs to get it fixed

the same issue with me , is there is any solution for that .
Wakeup the phone using the send button.it will work
I had a strange issue recently with my build (below). I had a 'normal' data freeze and rebooted, but when I did, apparently a message was waiting and some appointment on my calendar was due. This seemed to really slow down WM and HaRET ran very slowly before booting Android. However, after Android booted, the touchscreen was locked and wouldn't slide out of the way. In fact, the screen darkened and shut off just as if I wasn't touching the screen at all. I did receive a phone call, which worked, but touchscreen was still unresponsive.
So I tried rebooting again. This seemed to lock up JMZ Dual Boot and not allow me to boot up Android. Moreover, it locked my touchscreen in WM! I have pocketshield installed, and after cover screen showed up, I couldn't move it away. I tried rebooting, taking the battery out for 5 minutes, etc. and no luck.
Ultimately, I resolved this by a HARD RESET of the phone. Lost my windows setup which will take some time to repair, but since I use Android most of the time, maybe it doesn't matter?
Anyway, posted this in case others are having this problem, maybe there's a theme.
editted: ok, touchscreen stopped responding again, in WM and Android, while the unit was just sitting on my desk. I'm now thinking hardware problem...
yes i have the same problem since a ~week. NO TOUCHSCREEN... i have flashed maybe 100 different roms, but no luck... even when i install the original vodafone rom with radio and downgrade to spl 1.48 it doesnt work... this must be an android issue i think.
yesterday i was in the vodafone shop and they give me an NEW HD2 ))))).
now im waiting for an solution about that problem and hope someone will fix it. untill that i will stay on WM6.x. i dont think, i will get another new HD2^^
sorry about my bad english! im german...
ps: when i started the hd2 there was an picture of an WORLD MAP for ~one second. maybe this helps. i think there is something in the front of the orange screen. something with "yes" or "no" option. but i cant see it.
Alright, so here's my problem. My touchscreen won't response to any finger movement. I could press the hardware buttons like power, volume and talk and it response to that but my problem is mainly trying to get inside my rom. I tried flashing rom via NAND and via clockwork mod and nothing helps. The G Sensor seems to work just fine because it rotates the screen when I'm inside my ROM. I could go back into MAGLDR but I don't think anything there is going to help?
Has anyone else experience anything like this and if so, what did you do to solve it?
had same problem, found a FIX
i have had same problem past couple of days. i was running darkstones SuperRAM_FroYo_V1.5 build with oz 2 cleanex rom. i know that every now and again it would be a pain to unlock the device with the agonising wait for the lock screen to show up but this time the touch screen would not work at all not recognising any movement and not dragging the unlock button across. i would have to take the battery out and restart, even some times touch screen would fail completely when in winmo too, got to a point when 3 days of working then not working and taking the battery out a million times to boot back into android to unlock the device, then touch screen died completely.
FIX- Hard reset
will reset windows mobile. all data on device will be lost.
hold down up-vol key and down-vol key, soft reset button and then power button till it displays formatting screen. follow on screen instructions.
hope this helps.

I have this problem and have found no way to fix it, I have tried everything except possibly going to the clk loader instead of magldr. when i put the phone to sleep with the power button is when i have the issue of not being able to unlock my phone in Android. I have tried task 29, going back to original windows roms, sd and nandroid, it is a hardware issue related to the digitizer as far as I'm concerned. I love my HD2 and really need to fix or find another one. I know this doesn't help, but maybe a little more insite if nothing else
I had the same issue. With my 1st HD2 it started as an intermittent problem, then eventually completely stopped working. With my replacement it just started to happen again. I immediately flashed back to stock tmo windows and the touchscreen would work so long as I did not try and put the phone on standby or wake the phone using the end key. If the phone went to standby on its own, the touchscreen would not work either. I changed the settings so that the phone would not go into standby at all. I then learned that locking the phone from the windows menu and allowing it to go to standby that way somehow averted the touchscreen problem. After 2 days, the problem seemed to resolve itself, almost completely. If I try and wake it using the end key, the touchscreen still wont work, but every other button on wake works. Also, putting it in standby with the end key seemed to not cause the problem any longer.
I dont know if the issue varies per person, but what worked for me was going to stock windows for a couple of days, then starting over with android. I guess it depends on how far along the problem has progressed.
Look at my thread in my Sig about the Unresponsive Screen Solved. This sounds exactly as that. And there are various workaround solutions through out the post.
My HD2 had been working fine for the 14 months Iv had it, woke up this morning to find the touch screen would not respond, tried taking the battery out and rebooting, still didnt work. So I plugged it into my computer to back up, and guess what the screen workks.
Take the usb out of the phone and it will work fine, untill you lock the phone and then it wont unlock again. PLug it back into the computer and I can unlock the phone and use it.
Any Ideas. Deperate for help as im away from home on business.
Similar problem here, except part with computer. Since yesterday, I can't unlock it When I turn it on, first time unlock works, and everything is perfect, but when I lock it, it can't be unlocked without pulling the battery out and restarting it. I tried reinstalling system, even removing hspl, and getting back to windows 6.5, but it's the same
Anyone have any idea what is the problem??
Thanks in advance
As far as I'm familiar with this problem it is the hardware problem. If you guys still have your warranties send your HD2s to HTC and they will surely repair it
If you're running Android or WP7 or only have HSPL on your devices make sure to get back to stock rom
Just found it in another thread try this: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3-PNYwpYeI
