My hd2 is acting weird this morning, the time updated itself but when I tap the weather nothing happens, the panel with the clock and weather seems stuck.
I took out the battery and it didn't help any. BTW I have a stock tmobile hd2
Just wondering if anybody else experienced this before I do a long painful restore
Thanks

I assume you mean a hard reset when you say restor. I would not do that just yet I would give it some time as it might be an issue with a server somewhere yhat did not update the time properly or some thing like that.
Mine skipped forward an extra hour; but that was easy enough to fix.

Apologies if anyone has posted about this already. My XDA IIi has developed an interesting characteristic; it skips a second every now and then, resulting in it gaining about 2 seconds every 10! Does anyone know what is causing this?? is it a virus or buggy software??
regards
Chris Norman
The only way to check that is to run the phone without any additional software, if it still displays these problems then its a hardware issue.
Hi Cruncheeee,
Did you fix this problem? I've just got exactly the same thing. Everything is fine apart from the clock gaining rapidly. As you say every few seconds it jumps 2 seconds.
Cheers,
Mark

Ahhh!! - I have this problem too and cannot find a fix.... anyone got any clues? for us.
Cheers
me too, just discover this problem.............**** !
Hope someone come up a solution..............Thanks in advance !
Has anyone hard reset to rectify this problem ?
I don't know how to fix the problem as such, but i noticed my XdaIIi slipped out of time every so often, so i got a free little program called SP TimeSync 2.2 that updates my time from one of the atomic clocks.
If your sat watching the clock, in the settings thing, sometimes the clock hangs, then skips to the time, making it appear that it has skipped time, where as it actually just stopped updating the screen for a second or two!
XDA Clock gaining
Hi, I never fixed it as such - just hard reset the device which stopped it. However, afterwards I wondered if it could have been caused by PocketZenPhone (I remembered I'd changed some PZP settings just prior to the problem). May be worth un-installing PZP (assuming you use it).
Cheers.
Update:
I tried the work arounds (SP TimeSync etc) and I got quite good at finding websites with the time on but eventually I gave up.
I never found out what was causing the error, but a new ROM release from O2 gave the push I needed to do a hard reset, load a new ROM and rebuld my XDA IIi
It was first major update and I haven't mastered all the things to backup, I kept my contacts and appointments OK through ActiveSync but lost almost everything else so I'm now adding back the apps I'd grown used to deleting the O2 junk they supply but.....
the clock is now telling the right time again!

Guys
I am facing a really weird problem which is becoming increasingly frustrating and driving me nuts.
I usually charge my phone overnite using the stock charger. The phone powers off after a while as per the the settings (15 mins I think) and stays like that throughout the night. But in the morning it fails to wake up totally. Nothin works. So, I am forced to soft reset it everytime this happens. This has happened quite a few times now.
Any ideas why this might be happening? This is killing me because the alarms dont sound and the phone is totally dead in the morning.
ps. I am using the stock HTC ROM (1.18, 07/22), on Cingular UMTS.
Thanks in advance.

Dude, I'm getting the EXACT same thing!!!! I'm using using the stock TyTN ROM! I have no idea what's causing it, or even how to fix it. I thought it had something to do with software, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I need help too!!!!
) .. that's crazy .. maybe this is the next SA ... jk ..
but seriously ... maybe there are more folks with this prob ... let's see if anyone knows any more details about this or how to fix it ..
And the really strangest thing is that this doesnt happen to me in the day .. it powers off and wakes up fine .. but then it's never powered off for that long ..
Mine seems to happen when it's powered off for a given amount of time. It's insanely annoying because I have to reboot, and I hate rebooting the phone.
I've experienced a lot less of this behavior since moving to the 1.20 radio ROM...
I'm at the 1.20 radio, and I'm still having the problem.
I too am having exactly this problem. I have flashed the Cingular 1.34 ROM but it seems that the ROM doesn't matter. (I notice the bluetooth and or wifi lights are still on, the screen just doesnt come back to life).
Hi, you probably already tested this, but your device goes into standby mode with WiFi on it will become locked and unable to power on.
But it has happenned to me this sympton without WiFi connected.
Cheers
check out this search...there are a few topics on this already

Well I used to think there was some truth to the freezing being related to certain apps... and I suspected on mine it was PhoneAlarm causing problems.
Last week I hard reset and re-installed everything except PhoneAlarm but am having freezing if my TyTN is not used for some time (does not have to charge to freeze!)... And yes, I do kill ActiveSync and WiFi when I know I will not be using my phone for a while. My conclusion is that there's more to this and that maybe a newer ROM from HTC will address this - anyone know what the status is on this??
BTW, anybody else having alarms going off constantly on re-boot or MS VC reading out ca. 2 weeks of appointments on soft re-boot?
I still don't think there is a definitive answer on this. I've heard quite a few things to fix it; but I don't really have any of the software that's mentioned. Someone said it was because I had Opera installed (so I uninstalled it), then someone said it was because of the ActiveSync Advanced Network Connection option (I unchecked that), last someone said it was because of SBSH PocketWeather, and to take that off the today screen. Well I'd rather not do the latter, so I'll test these two and see how it goes.
I think it's the today plug-in issue. I hard reset and left off PW and it didn't lock-up for 2 days. But like you, I like it a lot.
So I'll deal with resetting it.
For me, it's just Pocket Plus, Resco File Explorer and WA Lite on the Today screen along with the standard stuff .. really nothin that needs to connect to the connect to the internet .. and still ..
The one that caused the TyTn not to wakeup was Wisbar Advance. Since removing it, I've not had any issues with the pda not waking up from power off.
Ok, what are you using in its place?
Well after uninstalling Opera, and unchecking the check box; I had the problem again! ( So annoying (.
Well i'll post my problem too
I have missed class twice in a week because the phone alarm never rang in the morning. The phone was frozen and i had to reset it in both cases. I always leave it charginf over night and now i'm afraid to turn it off anymore for fear of never waking me up in the morning
Adi
guys,
I am suspecting the issue is related to the today's plugin. After a few days of experiments, I believe the battery level reading utilities such as SPB pockets plus or Resco today plugin might be the one we are looking for.
Not only uncheck it, but also un-install it, hopefully, would help to solve the problem.
Mark
I have no today's plugin, just the standard stuff, en i do have the same problem
Give the Fake Server Trick a try, which worked for similar symptoms on the old Axim x51v: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=112638
If your problems are caused by the same thing, then this is to do with Activesync launching itself automatically. This in turn causes windows mobile 5 to stop waking up from standby, requiring a soft reset. No idea why.
I did the FST straight away when I received my TyTN and I don't get any of the problems you describe at all. It's worth a go!
Hi guys,
I've run into a really weird problem with my magician.
Today I was in the middle of a call when I plugged the USB cable into the phone. Probably with too many programs running at the same time, as I plugged the cable in the phone hang. So I restarted the phone.
As soon as I restarted the phone, a whole bunch of reminders from last year popped up ... took a while to dimiss them all. Afterwards I noticed the clock has been running fast.
By clock, I'm not talking about the CPU clock, but the actual clock on the phone. It runs ~ 28% faster, so every hour I am like 18 min fast.
I tried resetting the device several time and it didn't fix the problem. The only program I've recently installed is Webis Mail ... but I don't think a mail program would screwup the clock.
Has anybody run into a similar problem? I hope it's SW related and not HW related.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
Anyone?
If I can't fix this clock problem, then I pretty much have to replace my phone. Having an inaccurate clock is ok for a regular phone, but for a PDA phone if my clock is 15 min too fast every hour, then it's pretty useless.
As a workaround, is there anyway I can get the time from my service provider? The standard imate ROM doesn't seem to support that option.
Any help is appreciated!
Have you tried a Hard reset, had this a few months ago and this was the only way to stop it.
Thanks! Yes hard reset and it did the trick. Still not sure what it was, maybe some of the registries got corrupted, but after the hard reset the clock's normal again. I restored a recent backup on to the phone and now it's working fine.
hello all
Firstly, not a hd2 hater, quite the opposite in fact. I love the beast.
However, I'm having a bit of a problem with it.....
Whenever I leave it in my pocket or overnight for a while, and go to unlock it,
It gets stuck on the unlock screen for like 30 secs!
Something similar also happens sometimes when I'm using the phone, e.g. to play a game or read something with MS reader, it will slow everything down to the point that my game is crawling or it takes like 10 odd seconds to change my ebook's page, and this will last for 30s-1min.
I'm running the 1.61 ROM and other than that don't really have any problems!
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? anyone found a workaround?
Would appreciate any help!
anyone else had this problem?
Phone won't unlock
I have a similar problem My HD2 unlock slider won't slide far enough left or right to unlock. The slider stays stuck in a position 90% of the way across. I can slide it to the other side by the same amount, but the phone won't unlock. the only way i can get it to work is to hit the end/power button (the only button which works), and then take the battery out.
Does anybody have any thoughts? I'm about to do a hard reset, but would prefer not to.

try flashing a custom rom. see my sig for all you need to know about custom roms.
Hmm, mine did the same thing yesterday after using SportyPal on a 4hr MTB ride. It performed great while out and about, but when I got home the unlock screen had frozen. I tried different things to get it going but ended up doing a reboot. Thankfully SportyPal retained my ride data and everything was cool. But I guess there are deeper issues causing more people to experience this?
In any event get rid of the lockscreen. it causes significant lockups and lags on the HD2. Take a look here and read the comments for an additional reg value: http://windowsmobile.mobilitydigest.com/disable-lockscreen-hd2-stops-freezing-its-magic/
mine freezes for no reason at times it wont get pass the first plash screen. i tried flashing just about every rom i can get my hands on and nothing works. i tried flashing android and my phone started getting really warm
Hi guys
dont know if anyone else is experiencing this - i think i saw a few other fellows mentioning this but my s7edge has moments (every 2 weeks or so) when it goes completely unresponsive - it gets frozen on whatever page i am at that moment (weather, play store, Facebook or whatsapp) and nothing else works (not even physical buttons like back, task manager or worse - power off/restart button)
the only way to fix it is to simulate a battery removal (vol.down+power)
when restarting it goes back like nothing happened
I was hoping the update they roll would solve this but guess not
what is puzzling is that it doesnt seem to be hardware related, but i just cannot figure out what the F is going on
has anyone else experienced this or has any idea what could be the culprit?

This happened to me one day when I was charging the phone. The stopped.
Sent from my Star-Tac
The only time I've seen this was when trying to get Helium backup going (which I still can't get to work).
I would suspect you've got some app that's trying to do some background process and freezes up, or grabs all the phone's resources.
