Uk HD2
Right heres the story; please bare with me....
managed to drop my hd2 a while back whilst jumping up to help a lady carying a baby who tripped. the phone turned off immediately but came back on once i hasd removed and replaced battery. the phone would then switch off randomly, or at least appeared to. to turn the phone back on I would have to remove the battery, replace and switch it on. which worked for about a fortnight then the screen wouldnt work. I knew the phone was working (if nto the screen)because it was synching with my exchange server. (perhaps it was the screeen all along?) so I put in an insurance claim for the damage and got my phone back however
on receipt the phone wouldnt boot just a white screen. I did tried the phone a number of times and eventually gave up decided to return it. I was just about to send it and tried it one last time and it turned on.
however I still get repeated the phone turning off randomly, with a battery out and repace as the only way to get it working. it will often require this a few times as it freezes on the white screen or occasionly just get the green HTC. sometimes when the phone works it has really really poor performance, no scrolling, video playback is terrible etc.
It appears that during the repair the phone software has been updated to
os 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
manilla 2.5.20181527
rom 3.14.405.2 (0466) wwe 09/29/10 I cant find a rom on the htc website with this date??
radio 2.15.50.14
protocol 15.42.50.11u
which has few things im not keen on such as a split volume control for system and phone, i cant use the camera as a torch anymore....
I also played around with changing the hspl to 2.08 and trying an andriod build that works fine on the wifes hd2 but occasionally this will regulalry fail to boot on mine?
so can I hve peoples opinion on
1. Is this a continuing phone issue not fixed the first time
2. Was the new rom not installed correctly hance the boots, freezes and bad performance?
3. other ideas as to what the problm is to steer the repair if I go back down that road.
should I just put spl 3.03 back on and send it back
cheers for reading and keep up the great work.

3.14 roms will fall apart stability wise when the spl is NOT , 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl
However, for me I'd be straight back to stock and straight back for further repair from what you've said.
Somebody else has the same problem as me. I don't really think there's a fix for it.

Yes I think its going back, just going to be difficuilt to convey the issues with the handset.
I didnt imagine it could be the spl due to the lack of boot with the 3.03spl, prior to going to the 2.08hspl, athough it would explain the poor video performance, however I just watched a film for testing purposes without a glitch... just need some consistency.
I think something inside is on its way?

Btw by any chance does the bottom of your HD2 ever get really hot?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
yes very hot. often.
usually using wifi.
Like say the bottom part under the battery plate thing? I think something that's housed there is the problem as I have the same problem and its hot in the same place too.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
thats exactly the place. thouht it ws due to gel case so i take it off for a long browse. i think the wifes gets hot too though, although she has same case...
my n95 + n96 did it too so i thought it ws normal
Yeah that might be a problem with all HD2's but wouldn't know possibly. My HD2 can work perfectly and then I'd just pop it in to my pocket and white screen again. Usually a soft reset (little button under the cover) will do the job but then sometimes it doesn't work for a few days (like it is now).
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
when you say wont work for a couple off days you mean you just get the white screen for a few days instead of a full boot? like when I got it from the repairer.
if so what causes it to start working. that's why I think something is not quite right, its like something is not seated correctly.
I get the same blank phone when its in my pocket. we must be hot in the trouser department lol.
Yeah like it'll stay on the white screen for a few days and won't do anything. Then sometimes it'll just work for a day and then go back to the way it was before. It's so weird. Nothing ever happened mine either. Have you ever had any problems with some parts of the screen going blue or anything?
Oh the hot trousers crew, you know what causes hot trousers? Having a big ****. Haha
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
i ve the same problem
@ skelly
Ive not had this happen for a few days now so I'm not sure what to do if I send it back they will just say its working fine... so i think I will hang on to it, unless its a problem that s gets worse with time. so has yours got worse over time or is it just random?
I really like the HD2 so I dont want to be without it but dont want to risk it getting worse.
cheers for your help

My phone became unresponsive yesterday. I was able to flash the stock ROM and HSPL back to 2.8000 before I sent it back.
I talked to the tech for a bit and he said that this is a common problem they have encountered. Maybe I'll have a replacement by the end of this week.
I flashed 8 different ROMs with no success.
How old was the phone before it went out? Screen separation/button issues or did the screen just stop? Drop it or some other physical damage?
Had the same problem, Updated to new rom 3.xx whatever and the phone went dead.
Workaround found
I found a work around, I have only tried this in android. Press the power button to turn the screen on, Then when it comes on it will not be responsive.
However if you turn the screen off then back on and try and unlock it it will respond and also i have noticed if the phone wakes it self up it will be responsive again.

+1. I too got annoyed to be using such a crappy workaround.. So called up HTC and sent the phone for warranty repair yesterday. Lets see how it goes.. I bought the phone off craigslist and HTC confirmed that its manufacture date was June'10.
I also put a note with steps to recreate this error. After some reflashing ROM/ Radio, my touchscreen started working again, but when I pressed Power button first time, the screen froze.. So I put that down in the steps.
Got my new phone... Quickly went back to hspl3 and back to android. the problem with my old phone was a loose windows button.

What exactly did you tell them when sending it in? Did you just tell unresponsive touch screen or what? My phone's touchscreen was not responding at all, but for some reason it started working again using the power button trick.
This is what happened to me:
I sent my phone to HTC and those idiots just flashed a fresh OS and sent it back as-is. I had sent a paper with steps to recreate the error, but the jokers are dumb enough to not even read it.
Called back HTC and they are sending a prepaid label to send it back! Wtf.. company run by idiots..
I have the same problem here. The trick doesn't work for me
I have same problem ... it's completely unresponsive now.
I'm sending it back to HTC
BTW, this could be the reason why my touch screen died

SECTION 7-WARRANTY RETURNS
As much as I would like to say that it doesn't happen, the HD2 does indeed sometimes completely fail because of user error, or just plain hardware faults and must be returned to either T-Mobile or HTC. The warranty process can be a scary one, especially if you HardSPL'd your phone or installed a custom ROM. But fear not! You can get your device back to stock rather easily! In this section I am going to cover the more common HD2 failures and their solutions, as well as how to revert back to your stock carrier ROM and SPL for warranty purposes. Now, this guide assumes that you bought your HD2 from a T-Mobile store and that you are a T-Mobile USA customer. If you purchased your HD2 through an online reseller, or are not with T-Mobile USA, the only option you have is to send your device to HTC directly and have them repair it. See the bottom of this section for more info.
Q1-MY TOUCHSCREEN DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE! WHAT HAPPENED? DID SOMEONE SET ME UP THE BOMB?
A-Where you running Android? For some reason, there seems to be a connection between touchscreen failure and running Android on the HD2. No one currently knows why it happens more often under Android, but it does happen. Please run Android at your own risk. If your screen fails under WinMo, it's more than likely just a strange hardware quirk, and not because of what you are running.

No matter what build, what OS I put on it, I cant do ANYTHING with out it freezing.
AND I MEAN ANYTHING....what ever i do, what ever app I start, 2-5 mins later the phone freezes.
what sucks ever further is no matter that WP7 ROM I install, it refuses to boot past "GO, GO, GO"
I've tried task 29, different radios, still no gold

To solve some heating you need to remove the SIM card. But whats a phone with no SIM right
The only way to fix it it to either doing it your self or send it to HTC and once you get it back, sell it.
I had the same problem, once I get it back ill sell it and buy an iPhone 4G. I love the HD2, but it freezes so much.
Call the repair service.
still doesnt work, its pretty much dead now, wont even boot into winmo sometimes and cant do anything on it anymore...atleast i dont have to worry about getting rickroll'd cause it usually freezes after 5-7 seconds on most YouTube vids

im having the same problem but it started after my HD2 fell on the ground facing the screen down.. after that my phone started freezin randomly and i have noticed that it get stuck when there is a little press from the back near battery pin and near SD card if i keep the phone without any press on above position it stays as long as it get pressed again is there anyone out there knw wht is happening to my phone
I have the same problem, what usually works for me is to pull out the battery and let it rest for around 2 minutes.
Then pop it back in and let it load the ROM. After the ROM loads.. wait at least 5 minutes before you do anything.. it usually holds on, but there's always the hang somewhere after wards
It is really frustrating.. any specific hardware fault, maybe I can fix it myself.

You can buy the board and do it yourself if hou want to. You just need a small hex head screw driver and to be very carful taking your phone apart. I can not remember tbe exact location of it but there are links to some leaked official HTC training videos on desassembling and reassembling the HD2 here on XDA, but the videos are on pocketnow.com. The board recuires no soldering abilities as it has the camera and screen have ribbons that just plug in.
i suggest checking the battery pins also, make sure they are straight and shiny!

yea im gonna send it in, turns out the main board is overheating and that mean its pretty much dead...if the back gets really hot and it freezes on you, chances are your hd2's not far from death
RE: disassembly video
here you go. in case you feel brave enough to do it. it's pretty easy. i just bought a new htc HD2 for $105 after i drop my samsung captivate...i bought it knowing the screen was faulty and use this video to help take it apart. afterwards the screen is more responsive now

I have the same problem and that is too irritating... Pins are straight and shiny
The only way to fix it is to uniformly bake the board at 210-220*C/430*F (but no more that 230*C/450*F or the PCB will start incinerate) for 20 minutes, (thermostat controlled oven (for toasts) or better infrared heater, NOT MICROWAVE!!!), this will reflow broken connections and solve most cases of freezing. Keep your eyes on temperature, open oven after 20 minutes and let it cool down, don't move anything until in cools to room temperature. Start heating from room temperature and slowly bring it to peak temperature during first 15 minutes and keep for last 5 minutes peak temperature (about 210-220*C).

Ive had 2 HD2's and its been the same problem for both.
No matter what rom i use on my hd2 it ALWAYS freezes(I was having the same issues with my first hd2 but eventually the screen on it stopped working and i sent it back for warranty and got a new one)
Ive flashed 2 other hd2's that belong to some friends and i did the exact same thing to their phones that i did to mine and they dont have any issue.
I dont know what to do and why am i the unlucky one
Please XDA Community i come to you for Guidance! I know this phone can be amazing but why is it being so stubborn!
Can it be SD related?
Does the area beneath the battery shell, behind the phone, feel particularly hot? If so, it's likely overheating (HTC calls it a current leakage... something?) and if you're under warranty you may wish to send it back.
Otherwise, there are fixes (suck as devising your own extra heatsink, reflowing the solder).... but it's non-trivial.
Does it freezes while using any particular applications, and what happens when it freezes???? I mean does it get to normal by itself or you have to pull the battery out and restart your HD2.
I am asking this because I was also having the same issue with my previous HD2, and then I came across this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189544
which explains a lot about bad blocks which affect the android build.

yea sorry im just at the point where idk what else to do.
Lemme be more specific about this.
Theres times where it would actually boot up to where i can make a call but only for less than a couple minutes most of the time. There are times where i get lucky and it stays on for a good while ( couple hours ) and it'll stay that way as long as i dont use it. It freezes up starting up just about any app so i have this odd feeling it might be my sd card. But then i dont understand why the next thing happens. After i remove the battery and put it back in and boot either 1 of the 3 happens.
1) 1EFATAL HIT 1
2) Gets stuck on Go go go
3) gets stuck after go go go when rom tries to boot up.
Only thing i can do to get it to boot up again is take the battery out and leave it out for a good 10-15 minutes.
I tried Task29 and reinstalling magldr, cwr, and Rafdroid Rom and i still get the same crap
The Phone gets a little warm under the cover sometimes but its right were the micro sd is located
I'm having the same problem. My HD2 will freeze if I play games on it causing me to pull out the battery and when I boot it up, sometimes it will freeze at the MAGLDR screen, will freeze as soon as the rom boots. Right now my phone seems stable and I'm only using it for texting and making calls and nothing else for the fear of damaging the phone any further. I have a TMOUS phone btw.

Last question to u, that when u had ur stock windows rom in ur mobile , does any thing happened like this.
if not, then the problem is not in your mobile or sdcard, the problem is in the method u are intalling by.
1)try to get back to windows mobile.
2)install hardspl4 - 2.08 (not Hardspl3 - 2.08)
3)install magldr 1.13 (not magldr 1.11)
4)install clockworldmod recovery 3.0.0.5 (if ur rom is a cwm rom.)
5)Now flash the rom.
6)give it a try, if not any issue, then
7)push the thanks button. .. lol

That's actually the same thing I do.
Alright I know this might sound ridiculous but it seemed to work ( so far ). After 6 hours of trying to get this phone to work I decided to try something I saw on another thread. I got an icepack and did a complete install while having the phone on the icepack to keep it from getting warm. To my suprise it worked... I'm using my phone now with no issues yet and its been about 12 hours and it hasn't frozen yet. Although it did do a random reboot once ( I have a few bad blocks so I'm guessing that might be the reason). But Yea this worked for me some how. I'll update on any issues I get as soon as I can.

Same problem for me. My hd2 always freezes with any sense ui android build. MIUI and Nexus HD rom works fine.
My simple advise is... reinstal windows. And try again.
This worked for me when i started with the HD2.

Hi I had the same problem, but I sent my phone for repairs and it never froze again. According to HTC they just replaced the main board. But before I did that I actually flashed the official RUU (windows 6.5), and it continued to freeze, so I was quite sure it was a hardware problem. Indeed after repairs my phone didn't freeze anymore.

I also had 2 x HD2 which did this.
Froze when got to hot, or if using gps or mobile data.
Sold it 2 weeks ago, now own Desire HD and it's BRILLIANT!!
So now ive been running rafdroid on the phone without an sd and it runs.. but laggy since theres almost no space left in phone and it isnt getting hot. It only gets hot when it operates with the SD inside.
anyone know anything about that?
same problem
i have the exact same issues. the phone freezes every time it boots, be it magdlr nand, sd, wm 6.5 anything. however my old hd2 had no problems at allbut i broke it changing the screen digitizer and lcd.
(the white plastic on the connector that connects the lcd and digitizer to the main board broke.)
im pretty sure the reboots are mother board related but i don't know if telling tmobile or htc that will do anything because the phone is old. (i got this other hd2 from a guy on craigslist.)
I had the same freezing problem with my HD2. After all the research I've done, none of them worked. Then i put the phone into the freezer for a minute and took an ice pack, placed it on the back of the phone where CPU is located. While holding the ice pack, I re installed the ROM and at the and freezing issues were solved. It never froze again.
I hope this solves your problem too.

I want to ask whether this cooling trial fixed freezing problem forever? suppose if u use your set for more than for hour streaming over wifi? never it got freeze again?
The best solution that you can flash back to WinMo 6.5 and run Android from SD Card.
I have the same issue... but...
Make a complete instalation with an ice pack?? Are u joking me?? It works??
well... i have not to lose... i will report if i try it...
I flashed stock rom and run android from sdcard. but when i press Haret.exe is going to HTC green logo and after restarting. some solution?
Similar problem
I have a similar problem. But with two different phones.
I bought LG Optimus One about two years ago. After a few months, some freezes appeared... I've sent it to manufacturer three times and every time they changed some parts... but nothing have helped. I've made some experiments (another battery, SIM card, MicroSD card, custom ROMs) and than I realized, that the problem occurs only while the mobile internet is ON.
This summer, my friend offered me used HTC HD2 and I bought it. He used to have Android there with no problems. After a few weeks, the freezes occured again. And again: I can surf internet all day by wifi with no problems, but when I tunr on the mobile internet (MI), the phone freezes. The back cover of battery is a bit hot, but this appears while long using the phone too without MI (without freezes).
I've tried almost everything to solve this problem: changed SIM card, changed SD card, everytime with flash of the newest ROM... nothing helped.
I'm not sure if the problems with LG OO and HTC HD2 have the same reason, but I can't believe I can buy two phones with similar problems without transfering them.
What aboutthat crazy plan of flashing with ice cooling? Does it work afret a few months too?
PS: Sorry for my English
Hi everyone! Unfortunately, my run with my T-Mobile G2 appears to be nearing it's end.. I've had this phone since November of last year, so fortunately for me, I'm still within the 1-yr warranty. I couldn't find a legit answer on the forum so far so hopefully someone will have the information I need to know now.
Lately, my phone has been getting crazy. Sometimes it would start pressing random things by itself. Apps would start by itself, things would type by itself, etc, etc. Then, at times certain areas of my screen wouldn't work at all, most noticeably the "y," "b," and "h" on my keyboards. And this doesn't matter whether I'm using the stock Gingerbread keyboard or Swype.
To answer any questions, yes I am rooted and I have been running CM 7.0.2. I tried to flash 7.0.3 to see if that would correct my issue but it didn't. I also tried to reset the phone via Privacy within the Android UI and via Recovery, both with no avail.
My question to y'all is how can I fix this if at all? If this problem is not fixable, can someone provide me with the MOST SIMPLE guide as to how to unroot and restore my original T-Mobile stock ROM if necessary for me to send it to claim warranty.. Finally, if I resorted to claiming warranty, does anyone know if T-Mobile will be sending me a refurb G2 or a new one or a completely different one?? Thanks ... This is EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE.
it happens to me plenty. keep the scroll pad on the side from changing angles in direct light or it goes nuts. if theres any water on the screen at all touch commands work funny. its errors in the optical touchpad and cpacitive screen technology, not the;phone itself.
edit: im stock if youre wondering
It happens even in the dark though. I think its problem with the screen.
Any word on this? the same thing is happening to my phone.
Hui,
I was also having this problem for some time and was reallythinking of replacing the phone until I finally got rid of this last week. To start with I think this is a software issue but I'm still not sure what sw is causing this. n order to fix it I had to install the rom again from scratch and did not restore anything from google. Because independent from whatever ROM I installed the issue appeared soon after I set up the phone. So if you wnt to give it try, do a clean ROM install or factory reset to your phone and then while setting up your device uncheck the option to backup and restore settings to your google account. I know that setting up everything manually does not sound great but it's better than the crazy touch screen.
Digitizer issues
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Digitizer issues, T-Mobile just replaced my original release date G2 because of it.
They will send you a refurbished model and you have to send yours back in within 7 days or they bill you $400 I believe.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I had serious digitizer issues last month and thought for sure that my G2 was finished. Come to find out I had gotten some oil on my phone, probably from answering a text or phone call while eating at work. I took it out of its case and completely cleaned it with a cloth dampened with peroxide...not soaked just damp, and now my phone is back to normal. Give that a try and rule that out first before you replace the digitizer or phone. Make sure you clean the inside and outside of the case/skin if you have one too.
I finally figured mine out. I guess the digitizer is really really sensitive to moisture. I usually take my phone into the bathroom with me when I shower in the morning, once I stopped doing that and gave the phone some time to dry out (in a dessicant container, but rice would work just as well) my screen is back to normal. I guess the steam from the shower was enough to bring up some bugs.
Hello,
I recently purchased a HD2 and shortly after flashing Android 2.2.1 onto NAND I began to encounter some freezing problems.
They seem to happen when I use the music player for to long and also when i'm playing apps for longer then 5 minutes or so.
Does anyone have some answers or a hot fix?
Information about the phone is in my Signature
I had similar probably shortly after purchasing my hd2. In the end I took it back to the shop. Turns out some sort of hardware component had failed. They replaced it, & rhw phone was fine after that. Is yours still under warranty?
Forgot to add you'll need to reflash winmo if you take it back to the store. Otherwise your warranty will be void.

That sucks. Do you guys think that that is the only problem?
I find that after a few days of use, the phone will freeze. If music is playing it will stop and just have a very buzzing sound. When I reset it, half of the time it will freeze right at the magldr screen right before GO GO GO! It seems as though right below the battery the phone got really hot, so perhaps it is a hardware component. I do find that these episodes occur at least once a week.
Unfortunately, this is my third HD2 from warranty (my first froze in WM6.5, my second got smashed by UPS during delivery... I hate UPS so much) all over a year and a half old.
I've done the whole Task29, I have completely wiped everything. Guess I haven't formatted the flashdrive anytime recently.
Also, I've tested all the different roms, doesn't seem like its specific to any one of them. There's ABSOLUTELY no way I'd ever put WM6.5 back on to see if it was OS specific. WM7 looks way too hard to figure out too, lol.
Any thoughts?
Thanks guys!
i had freezes, but at nand android they where much more offten, then in wm6.5,
i had back it to stock, and tried to heat cpu using 720p youtube videos and wuala it freeze and stuck. I have showed this to warranty service, and they have replaced mainboard, and now i have installed adroid, and no freezing, same how hot phone is. Trust me i have tried all roms, all builds, all radios, nothing will fix freezing... cpu soldering is dammaged... same like HP pavilion laptops DV6000 series...
