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?

Way 2 solve all HD2 Problems !

It's been over 6 months with my HD2 and this period was plagued by numerous problems.The essential function of any mobile is to make phone calls and sadly this was the area most affected.Many times my phone will drop calls,mute itself,freeze screen,make it impossible to answer a call and to disconnect a call because of frozen slider etc...etc...to name a few...
But i have solved all these now and my phones call functions work flawlessly.
How?I removed all tweaks and customizations by Factory Reset and Memory Card formatting!!
After that i installed only the software's i absolutely require,one at a time,watching out for problems.In fact i have just 4-5 customizations in my HD2 now...and i am happy.

Haven't had any of your problems with my HD2 and have installed loads of customizations, apps and ROMs.
What a usesless thread...

going to say, i've had zero problems with my HD2, i bought it 2nd hand, and i've tweaked it to with an inch of its life! I have a good few apps installed aswell. This phone seems to get alot of unnecessary bad press at times and i'm sure most of which is user error...no disrespect intended there though mate.

Yes, I have to agree with you too - I've got plenty of customizations, and very rarely get any problems !

I have countless number of tweaks but only a hand full of apps that I actually need.
Never had an issue.
Make sure you put system tweaks and mods on the internal mem. Won't have a problem after that.

I've got 30+ apps (only one of which is a game), countless reg edits, Resco Contact Manager which totally takes over calls and dialing, as well as contacts, which you would think could potentially be quite problematic and I've never had an issue with stability.
I've never understood the stability issue thing, just stay away from stock ROMs and you'll be laughing.

I'm on a stock ROM and I'm still laughing. It runs for 2 days on battery, no lockups, has all the stuff I need installed, and many many tweaks.

I bought a patio set a week after I bought my HD2, it didnt work until I erected it, now it works a treat.

which isn't very often

I have stock ROM and plenty of tweaks and apps and I haven't faced any problems till now. really stable. I remember way back I was using htc touch with slower processor and wm 6.1 and I faced a lot of problems that Op described.

wow...overwhelming response...
I stand corrected because this problem came up again today morning:When a call came in and I slide to answer, the slider got stuck to "answer" while the phone continued to ring(without sound).The entire screen froze and I had to wait till the call got disconnected to use it again.
I was thinking this problem had disappeared after i removed all tweaks but there it is again.
I have searched the length n breadth of this forum and google too but without a solution..
Help me friends please....

Same applyes to me,most of the PDAs Ive used were much worst than my HD2 including My Iphone.this thing can function same as a computer + few other things, so must expect few slight glitches.

So any solutions for the problem friends?
1.)When a call came in and I slide to answer, the slider got stuck to "answer" while the phone continued to ring(without sound).The entire screen froze and I had to wait till the call got disconnected to use it again.
2)Also when I do answer,after around 40 seconds,i cannot hear the person at the other end.The calls stays active till i end it.The other person can hear me but.This happen with random calls and in both incomin n outgoin.
I was thinking all the tweaks were messing up with the call function...but...
UPDATE:I got reply from htc to install System Update from website today.But wen i try 2 do that,Invalid Vendor ID error message is coming and the update aborts itself.
All problems solved after i updated my ROM to 1.66 ! thank u everyone

[POSSIBLE FIX] Random Rebooting! Grr

***EDIT***
Well it would seem like my random reboots have gone away. Thanks to Tubgirl for the suggestion, but using Hastarin's 7.5R kernel with NO overclocking, AXI etc, it's finally stable once again.
In fact, I used that kernel with Darkstone's latest 3.2 build and the battery is crazy. I am getting approximately 7 hours of battery life for every 10% of the battery. That's with BT, data and all syncing turned on and basic use. That's around 3 days of life for a light user. Didn't even get that with winmo!
So for me - the moral of the story is stick to the clean, non overclocked kernels. As for speed, I cannot tell the difference (I don't play any games to be fair though).
***END***
For some strange reason, my phone randomly reboots at completely bizarre intervals when running Android. I can't put my finger on what it might be. So some questions!
- Does anyone else experience this?
- I'm running VBN RC3 Minimal WM ROM, might it be this?
- I'm running the 2.14 Radio is it this?
- I'm running mostly Mdeejay builds could it be them (happens with all of the one's I've tried)?
- Is it likely to be piece of android software?
- Is there any way I can find a log to see why it's rebooted?

Random Reboots
I have been experiencing this problem for about a month now. I have tried numerous roms and android combinations, as well as changed radios. The problem still returns no matter what combination I try. So I'm kind of

Could be a problem with your battery. Try replacing it.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App

i had same problem.. what i did was fully drain my battery, than recharged it fully on off mode, with cable plugged in turned it on that charged again till i saw green LED light
since than it worked nicely no random boot
give it a shot id say
cheers

My HD2 has never done it, but my mates has.
He contacted HTC on Thursday and they are repairing it under warranty.
It is a well known issue that affected around 3000 handsets in the UK apparently. They call it the "heat related reboot", and it involves replacing the motherboard and another component.
His has gone back, they sent a courier to collect it..

Mine has been randomly rebooting for about 2 weeks now.
It usually happens once a day when running Winmo or Android. Sometimes when it reboots I get a rectangular box across the bottom of the screen for about a second. I dont know if this is caused by the Radio Rom update or it is just coincidence.
I have swapped the battery but it has made no difference.
It's driving me mad.

I have sent them an e-mail describing my issue, quoting you I will see what they say. Hopefully they will sort it soon because my first year of warranty expires in one month!

Oh also, if I send it back for warranty, I suppose I'll need to revert it back to the 02 defaults and remove all traces of HSPL! Is this possible?

i have this problem too, under android and wm. Still testing to find out hwats causing it but looks more and more a heat issue, eventhough it does not heat that much.
unfortunately dont have warranty so not sure what i can do.
when i have an audio or video stream, or navigator thats when it happens mostly. but i had random reboots as well for no reason.
is there something on WM we can use to find out whats making it reboot?

i get this issue every once in a while when i go to sleep and wake up and its booted up in windows? its happened about 2 or three times but doesn't happen every day.

Me too!
I'm also experiensing this. It started just when the whole android hd2 thing started. I have this problem no matter what radio/rom I'm using (except from stock). Reboots in win. Android gives SOD/reboots. I've tried some reasearching in to this and found out that when I flash back to original rom/radio it's stable. Between every flash i do Task29.
I've tried different memory cards and even swapped the battery with a collegue.
Still the same. Funny thing if it suddenly are many people experiensing this problem..
Could it have something to do with android experiments?
Bad thing is that it would be difficult to send it in for repair since it's working with original rom/radio.
You should all try to flash a stock radio and rom to see if it still reboots.. Mine don't..

I use the same VBN ROM but this build [build]20.09.10||JDMS 1.3|FRF91 Latest Stable Nightly||RC11 WITH AXIS! and Radio 2.12. I dont have any problem (reboot, sleep of dead, no robot voice...)

I switched to the latest hyperdroid v1.6 and have not had this problem yet although It did happen to me a lot when I was running different builds (cant remember which ones sry) Try switching builds and also make sure you turn everything off in WM like bsb tweaks and radio all that stuff. Its weird but it helps considering that everything gets turned off when u hit clrcad.exe anyways but it has helped the stability of my builds.

Alot of us seems to get these reebots in win also...

I wonder if it's got anything to do with the overclocking with setcpu? Hmmmm....

i had this exact same issue , bought phone of eBay so had no proof if purchase . phoned htc they said its 100% covered under warranty , they had it back for repair for 5 working days . they also replaced the external casing as it had a few chips from a drop , they pretty much returned a brand new phone apart from the serial number sticker tomtom no longer recognised the device id so i had to reactivate my maps , so they have at least replaced the mainboard . top customer service ! give them a ring its worth a try they can only say no

nice is there a way to check warranty online? i also bought it from ebay? where you located?

i'm also experiencing this random reboot phenomenon.. happened only after i started experimenting with Android on my HD2.. now the reboot issue happens with WinMo as well.. i've been using the same radio, ROM and same builds..
btw, since jonboyuk mentioned it, i did play around with "setcpu".. could this be the culprit??

Hello..
I've noticed that my HD2 also reboots sometimes in Android. I haven't used WM for a long, so I really don't know if it also reboots in WM. My question is though, is this a hardware issue? Never had this sorts of reboots before starting this Android @ HD2 game. An answer (or just a thought) to this question, will help me, since I have to send my HD2 for a repair tomorrow, cause the microUSB slot is broke. But if the reboot issue is a hardware fault, then I should also report that, to the repair center.
Thanks.

[Q] Android NAND - occasional pale screen

Hey,
I've got the HD2 running extremely smoothly with the NexusHD2-Gingerbread v2.2 build.
Since moving to android and trying out WP7 I have been experiencing an issue where after a whole day of running perfectly I will turn the screen on to find everything is washed in white - it's like the screen turns greyscale but in white so everything is still visible and works but in white.
i don't seem to be able to find this problem anywhere else but it has happened with all the android nand roms and the WP7 rom - a soft reset fixes the issue. I'm currently using radio Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 and have switched around but haven't found one that fixes the problem...
Any thoughts on what could be causing the problem??
Thanks, Luke.

I have the same problem sometimes. Will be glad if someone can explain!

Ive also experienced this, disappears after reboot or sometimes if i turn the screen on-off a couple of times, kinda weird.

Glad to see others are having this problem - seems to be so rare but I cannot find a solution. Would be interested to see if it still occurs now with standard wm6.5.
Anyone else experiencing this or have some idea of a fix?

i too have this problem.many times screen just go off like greyscale.can anyone help?

One more with the same problem...

Never had it with my currentrom (Hyperdroid) until I've read this thread.
Bump for wisdom.

Are you morons really that stupid
Get the screen out of the sun and away from hot surfaces you dumb bastards and it wont happen, it isn't a nand but a screen issue.
With stupidity like that you will be admins of XDA in no time

Erm what the f*ck? No need for that. Any actually, it's not a screen issue, it's an issue in earlier ROM's (well from what I've experienced). Like flash Cotulla's Desire ROM and it happens a lot. I presume you don't really like XDA due to your username? Banned maybe? Why would you even bother making a new account and just trollin'? That's sad, lol.
I only had it when the first batch of ROM's came out. Never withing the past month and a half.
It's like the screen goes negative.
But yeah, there isn't a clear fix for it AFAIK, you should back-up everything on your ROM and try an up-to-date ROM and see if it's still happening. I doubt it.

having the same problem as well
usually happens after i wake up, so during its idle time which is kinda strange
i also noticed it started happening after i installed cracked widget locker, any of you using that?

It happenes to my phone quite regulary but only running android roms, i think around september 2010 it happened the first time. I suspeced my phone, but even after getting a new hd2 it happens sometimes. It usually just happens randomly, not after specific actions. Sometimes it stays only for some minutes and sometimes it can be only fixed with a reboot.
I'd really like to know when this bug will be fixed.

I was having exacly the same issues with my old build. But since im using CoreDroid this problem has dissappeard.

+1 I've only experience this twice, and not since December, but I found it weird both times. I think both times were during a phone-call. A reset worked.

Same here happens once or twice a month no big deal though
Sent from my HD2

I'm currently running imilka's RAM Desire HD v2.0 since a month or so, the pale screen appears sometimes up to 2-3 times on one day and then not for several days. A reboot allways fixes it, sometimes it fixes itself after some minutes.
But i really find it annoying.

This happened to me in most desire/desire hd sense builds.
Now, I use the official hd2 MIUI and gingerbread seems to solve the issue.

SOD - Sleep of death problem

I have a problem with Sleep of Death in WinMo. When i put my Mini in sleep mode and I'm trying to wake it up - nothing happens. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Hello, did you manage to resolve your problem? I just started having the same problem. Hard reset did not help. I am going to reload latest official ROM.

I wait for your expressions after reloading ROM. I've hard reseted WinMo and even in Android - nothing happens. I'll reflash ROM after work.

I reaolved the problem on my mini by disabling htc lockscreen.
if u search how to disable it u will find it

PeGie: I re-loaded the latest shipped ROM (1.36). It works (so far). I'll add additional software one by one to see if there is some relation.
bruce2728: Thank you for the tip. However, I cannot disable it. I am using the device also for company e-mail synchronizing by using ActiveSync. The company policies force to use the screen lock and I am not able to change it.

if you disable htc lockscreen in the registry it defaults to the windows 6.5 one, so you will still have a screen lock
edit: forget lockscreen it happened again after a few hours

Guys, thanks for help. I tried today to turn off lockscreen, but it doesen't worked. I'll try to figure it out tommorow. I'm waiting for results of investigation of Sleep of death.

I uninstalled CleanRAM first and hard reset and I have no more problem SOD
(last 10 hours is normal) I do not know if I will again have the same problem, now works ok
HTC HD mini German ROM: 1.41.166.1

I mentioned that hard reset did not help. That may not actually be true. When I did hard reset then I immediatelly installed all my applicatiosn and changed all the settings I used to change. Some of the software or config change may cause the problem. However, it is strange that it began just few days ago. I was using the device almost 1 year without this problem.
Anyway, as I mentioned before, I re-loaded the 1.36 ROM today. Then I left all settings at defaults. I did not install any application. It is working correctly so far. I'll add app/config change one by one to track the root cause. It will take some time of monitoring but I need to identify the cause. My suspect #1 is my company security policy. That would explain the problem appearance beginning.
I already had some problem caused probably by my company security settings.

and to me it's strange because the last few days, so to say I did not use mobile phones, nothing new installed or changed settings.

I have this problem too. Since yesterday - started from failing to wake me in the morning. It's kind of weird, all of the sudden phone stopped to work correctly.
At last (judging by more people having problem as well) is not the hardware problem.
Anyone has any idea: this problem was known before, or it started in last few days?

I'm also having this problem. I've changed nothing on my phone since months and since yesterday it has this problem. I'm thinking of sending it for repair and wait what they will say about it.

I was using my HD mini for 10 months without problems. But today I was faced the same problem as you mentioned. I removed my battery and left my HD mini without battery for ~30 minutes. Then I put battery back and turn on the phone and everything works now ...

It sound really weird that this problem is popping out suddenly to a number of users, while before there was no symptom.. it would seem as crazy as a time-driven issue or something..
Before reading here, my 1st step would have been removal of lockscreen, then 2nd one going back to clean original installation, but looks like those moves are not of help..
Fact is that the only new software i installed is bsb tweaks whose changes may affect registry and corrupt system configurations.. do you all guys have bsb installed?
Let's try to figure this out together, missed wakeup and calls are really annoying, as well as removing the battery to make a phone call...

No, I don't have bsb.
And people are using bsb without much problem for the last year.
Some kind of millennium bug? Someone programmed end of the world in our phones?

i don't have bsb on my mini

I do not have BSB installed (actually, I have idea what it is). My Mini is stable 16 hours after ROM reload. It survived the night! I believe hard-reset would help too. I'll re-test hard-reset if I see the problem again after some app/cfg install/change.
