[Q] Problem with WP7 Roms or problem with the phone? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

I have some odd problems with my HD2 after installing two different WP7 roms (HD2O & XBMod) and am wondering if this is an issue with WP7 running on the HD2 that is universal, or is there possibly a problem with my particular hardware.
The main issue is that if the HD2 is moved (turned, twisted, etc.), it will revert back to the home screen and flicker and sometimes the voice activation app starts asking me to speak a command. It doesn't matter what I am doing at that moment. It is happening in both roms.
Are others having the same issue?
I apologize if this is a known problem, but I could not find any info. Any suggestions?

sounds like its hardware related mate, you could try reverting back to a WM6.5 ROM see wehat happens there, id SD flash a stock original ROM which will revert your whole phone, SPL included, back to an original state
then if that works ok start again, HSPL>Radio>magldr>WP7 ROM,if none of that works then its definitely hardware
to be honest the flickering sounds more like a hardware issue...

Walking dead.... I can't be the only one

Ok I'm using newest energy cht rom radio 2.12.50 and shubcraft froyo android build with 384 zimage....
Heres the problem that I have had all week my phone works fine when I am stationary minimal screen freezes great speed but when I get up and walk with my phone and try to use it the screen freezes almost every time then the entire phone freezes. I have also noticed this on elevator and when I step out of my car.. this is weird and I know it can't be just me as its been going on for a week now.
So to sum it up stationary best phone ever...walking phone dead and I wanna slam it on the ground.

try the desire v5's zimage, no freeze at all
Im having same issues,with all the version i have tried, including V5 aparently this screen freezing is a known issue and makes the use of Android in our HD2 very very frustrating.
ive upgraded my SD to a class 6 and still suffering from it
Im wondering if there is a program that causes it or its just the OS...
in any case We have to be patient ,im sure pretty soon the amazing developers will come with a solution.
might be a screen rotation issue
Just came back from street, again same issue.
I thought it may be the network connection that was affecting the phone, so i switched to Airplane mode and turn off automatic updates,still this didnt help...
so im beginning to think this is related to yes,either the screen rotation (maybe as we walk it does affect the sensor )or gps..

I've just learned to deal. Its better than SoD's or being in Winmo and having to pull the battery out.
I actually noticed it today as I went from a dark room to a very well lit room so Im with u guys it seems its either rotation issue or light sensor issue andvi have no doubt in my mind the devs will have it fixed in no time just didn't see it mentioned anywhere else so figured it was worth a mention. Thanks all I'm so glad I'm not alone on this one.

when in windows mobile make sure to disable all battery and back light settings and in android change blacklight settings and sleep setting to stay on
I am having the same issue - using ChuckyDroidROM + shubCRAFT CM6RC2, basically when I start moving or even moving the phone the touch screen becomes very unresponsive and sometimes even the hardware buttons don't function properly. At first I thought it was just my device until I saw this post...
Think its a bug with manusfreedoms 384mb ram enabled Zimage dident get this problem using past images.
sure it will be sorted next image release.
I thought i was alone in this case too !
We are not a lot with that screen touch lag, so maybe we did something wrong. Here is what i found so far :
-Changing build don't rix the problem
-tried another radio, another rom...nothing.
I tested 27/07 03/08 cotulla zimage, now manufeeedom 382mo zimage-nopc, the problem is still here.
changed from a class 2 to a class 4 and seems to be worse. (!)
You are right, it seems to be worse when i am moving from one room to another so maybe it is gsensor related.
Right now it is hard for me to type that text,
Don't know what to do... buy a class 10 sdcard ?
I just got my HD2 today and got android set up. I'm noticing the same thing as everyone else with the unresponsive touchscreen. It happens every time I tilt the phone to try to change the screen rotation. Usually hitting the hardware button allows it to respond once again, but it happens quite often.
hey hey hey first and formost i see u guys all hav the same issuse what i dont see is ur device info along with the rom, radio, android verison, and the location ur android is stored ... i have the lates verison of droid v5 also energy with cookie full and my radio is 2.8 i believe android is on the sd card and running smooth ... now that the intro is out of the way hav u guys read what was needed , reason askin i found the thread where the question and answer is... and yes u guys are the only ones... now please do a search go up to the first thread of android on hd2, and good day to u all
Wingtytn, can you be more precise in your answer ? I am a quite long user in Xda, always try to help when i know and i never ask a question wich have been answered somewhere. I don't think i have the noob profile you seems to write. If you think about formatting sdcard, of course i did. I have a 2.08 radio, latest shubcraft build with manufreedom 382mo zimage. My rom was changed to a light android dedicated one, the latest chuckydroid rom. Just don't know what else to do and waste a lot of time trying to fix that from myself.

The TS issue is kernel related, that's why using an older kernel say the no speedy one should fix it. This is also the reason why this issue is being seen over multiple builds.

Thanks a lot shu8i, i will try an older zimage than the 27/07's cotulla.
Edit : Mmh exact same problem with the 23/07 zimage Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY. That is weird.
I will order a clas 10 sdcard and see what happen...
Try the game ”Runners”. It uses both the camera and the g-sensor and freezes mad anytime, anywhere. Huge affirmation to the idea it's a bug of the g-sensor's or otherwize the screen's drivers.
DuperMan
Me too with screen freezes, i had tried all builds and same result. I think this is a problem with SD access because i noticed more freezes as more apps opened in backgroud.
Try to calibrate the g sensor
Found something ...
try disabling auto-rotation feature (settings -> display)
It works perfectly for me now.
Can you confirm that works for you too?
Did you dind a way to calibrate g-sensor on froyo?
Why the auto-rotation feature hangs so much for us?

[Q] What does it mean when HD2 hangs on startup?

I am not sure if this has to do with using Android or not, but sometimes my HD2 decides to reboot itself unexpectedly, on WM as well as on Android and I can't really find what's causing it.
But what happens is, after switching itself off, it switches itself on again and hangs on the HTC logo, sometimes with or without the following info:
R 2.10.50.28_2
G 15.40.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
I am using stock ROM that came with it, i assumed it will be stable by itself but it reboots itself randomly sometimes just like on Android.
Does it have to do with the Radio version (i changed it from 2.07.xx). I tried 2.12.xx before and had same problems.
I should note that the only way for it to run again is to remove the battery for a while and then put it back. If i remove it and put it back briefly it will still hang.
Anyone is familiar with this strange behavior?
Thanks
ME too
I have the EXACT same problem. It only started for me after using android. now whenever i run Android it will unexpectedly reboot and sometimes hang like yours. It also does it in WM though not as often. I was able to notice it might have something to do with data connections bc if i run android but only use wifi it seems to be fine. I tried changing Radios WM ROMs and Android builds i even hardspled my phone again but nothing solved it. The problem needs to be talked about more. it got so bad for me I bought a Desire and gave up on my HD2 for the moment. Keep this thread up.
sounds like i have to follow
I hope not!
I notice if i do heavy download on wm or android i get it. But it could be that the phone is too hot? But it's not alarmingly hot tbh.
I hope more people can shed light on this.
Thanks for your input.
Yeah this is what seems to happen to me too, i start a downlogsd it gets a bit warm then freezes or reboots and gets stuck. However it doesnt even have to be a large download for me, a simple cab file or youtube video sometimes. And as far as heat, this never used to be a problem and i know for a fact my phone used to heat up way more before without a problem.
Maybe the qualcomm chipset go in "safe mode"..i remember that for first start tickle the orange led and after the device freeze or restart..maybe your device overheat. Try to touch cover's device or install a battery status monitor software. If you have changed radio, return on the original status. In case the restart happen always, make a backup using Pimbackup, and do an Hard Reset. For first try to use the telephone without the memory card and test the stabilty. If is all ok, you have to provide to format your SD card in Fat32. Try also to change the HSPL with the original SPL.

Thabks. Back to the subject, today i tried downloading on wifi a 150mb file on android and it rebooted byitself.
Then i tried to play a wmv video file on WM stock ROM and after 6 min it rebooted.
So its starting to look more and more like cpu/heat problem, anyone having these issues?
So does anyone think this might have something to do with all the overclocking in those android builds we've been using?
After 45 mins of install HD2 still hanging?
Hi, I just installed FroyoSense by darkstone
Release date: 07.AUG.2010
I don't know if this is the latest (probably not) but after 45 minutes of install the screen has in the top left hand corner tiny small text (excuse my lack of knowledge here) but no scrolling text as I expected, its now like 50 minutes, how long should it take?
Any help please would be appreciated, thanks

New to the HD2
So, I just bought a used HD2 a week ago. It was having similar problems in WM. I took it to a local store, and they said that is just how WM phones are. I've flashed HSPL and different radios and ROMs, installed Android, but still have trouble with freezing and rebooting on it's own no matter what I do. IT happens the same in WM or Android. Is there any way to find out if these might be due to hardware problems caused by the previous owner?
I got the same problem, when I do a lot of things on the same time on the HD2 it hangs or reboot. During de restart of the phone it hangs on the White screen with HTC on it. I have te take the battery out of it en than reboot again.
When I listen music and Internet the same time it almost always happends.
It happends on WM but also on Android, I tryed different ROM's and Radio Version's but nothing worked. Also tryed to work without SD-card, but still the same problem.
So I have no idea how to solve the problem...
I hope someone now's how to solve it...
Sorry for my bad English but I hope it's clear

Ok having waited for 2 hrs, I shutdown and installed FroyoStone v2, this time the tiny text appeared and faded after about 5 -10 seconds and the screen has gone blank, is this normal? No scrolling text, nothing, I going tpo re-boot and will keep you updated. Thx
If you read the previous posts you would know this thread has nothing to do with the problem youre describing. I understand the confusion of the title but pls read the thread first.

Your problem is unrelated to this thread.
So far we have more and more people having the related issue on WM and Android. We need some expert to help us pinpoint the problem.

i have the same issues.
I can add also playing videos for longerthan 5-10min would make the phone reboot too weither its WM or android.
Today I was in the Store where I bought mine HTC HD2, because I was sick off it. They told me that is was a familiar problem with the HTC HD2. They also would repair it free for me. I didn't do it yet because first I have to delete my HSPL etc.
I asked them also what the would repair to solve te problem, he told me: the will do a complete bodyswap. So everything will be renewed, exept the tochscreen and front.
So I guess it is a real and serious hardware problem....
Why we dont hear people conplaining about it if its comon?
I find that very odd.
Someone could try PMing one of the devs in the forum and linking them to this thread to see if they could shed some insight or at least bring more attention to the issue.
Well I live in the Netherlands and on the Dutch HTC HD2 forum, I heard some people complaining about it. But the salesman of the store said that it is a familiar problem, so that sounds to me like a regular problem. But indeed it's weird we doesn't hear more people complaining.
Maybe the most of the people think is normal with WM, but I am really sick of it...

[Q] G-sensor of HD2 doesn't work when installed andriod

My G-sensor function of HD2 can't use after installed Andriod. I changed many other ROM versions to try if its available ,but still it doesn't work. The game teeter show that can't find G-sensor facility in your phone and will quit..
Could you please help me and suggest me some solution, it depressed so much.
My radio version is 2.15.50.14.version FRG33
only HTC, not T-mobile.
THANK YOU!
me too ,it diever me crazy!!!
help!!!!!!!!
Try Calibrating the G-sensor in windows mobile, maybe that would work
it does work in WP6.5 ,but when I switch to Andriod ,no matter which version,system can't find G sensor... I depress me so much,cus it seems like a brick without gravity function.
Why dont you post which android version you are using and or ask for help in that versions thread?
I have the same problem, I've done all that I was able to do but nothing happened..
G-sensor works in WM but doesn't into android.
HTC HD2 LEO
Radio : 2.15.50.14
excuse my poor english
Well I am using the T-Mo US HD2 and have HSPL-ed it and put Android on it using the Evo Carbon Rom from Motoman, and the G-Sensor Calibration works perfectly to set it, and Teeter works flawlessly as well (Just tried both after reading the thread).
I would have to agree with the above postings, you might want to look at the threads of the roms and see the whats working, whats not, or check to see if a app you installed might have corrupted or changed the default app. But if you have tried multiple roms and still have this issue, and not in WinMo, I would have to speculate you didnt clean your SD card of prior files.
same problem here. need help!
I got the exact same problem. mine is a tmo-us hd2. g-sensor works fine under wm no matter if it's stock rom or custom roms. cannot detect g-sensor when switch to android. tried several different android roms resulting the same.
btw, i did format my card every time before installing new android rom. when i put my card in my friend's HD2. g-sensor works fine under android on his phone. clearly, something is not right on my phone, but everything works fine under wm.
Me TOO ~~~~~~~~~
i have the same damn issues at first i was using a custom rom then i stock back my leo phone then try installing android using MOTOMAN234 EVO CARBON REMIX V0.5 but still no G-SENSOR !!! I Dont see hows its the phone when evrything works right when im in windows mobile DOES NE ONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS???
Thanks a lot for your suggestion ,Let me try if it available on my phone.
UP please ! I'm going to be crazy.. Same issues :'(
I also have the same problem on my replacement TMOUS HD2. Both G-sensor and light sensor is not working on Android but works flawlessly on WM. On the original HD2 I didn't have any of these problems. Did you all recently purchase the HD2 or got a replacement of it? Anyone knows if there is a recent change of hardware in the HD2? I got my replacement right before Christmas.
Same problem here its definitely not SD related as I'm running from nand now and still nothing has anyone figured it out yet.........
Is there any developers reading that could possibly offer us their knowledge? I just don't understand why it doesn't work for such a small handful of users,

Could someone (a dev) please take notice of this thread and maybe take some time to see what the issue might here? We would also like to enjoy fully functional Android on our HD2's
Would be much appreciated...

NAND MAGLDR causes Touch Screen and keyboard errors

I've tried a few NAND builds. They're cool. However on everyone of them, when I am using the keyboard, I notice the phone thinks I've touched a different key (usually on the other side of keyboard). For instance, I'll hit the O key, and the phone thinks I pressed V or D or such. Or I'll tap one letter, and the phone registers 2 to 5 different keys pressed.
Has anyone else seen this? Any solutions?
Reflashing HSPL fixed the issue.
Updated title to be more descriptive
Are you charging while this is happening?
Nope. I noticed that could happen back when I had just WinMo on phone. I noticed if I use the cover that came with phone, and make sure not to touch any conductive part of the phone, it works normally.
Personally, I think your screen has developed a fault and it's just co-incidence that you're trying NAND builds. I, too, thought that it was Android that was at fault, I sent my phone back to HTC and they replaced the screen.
See my thread here.
ignore this
del
10chars..
Bump. Anyone have any idea?
Confirming the problem, I took these steps.
Task 29 Phone and formatted SD card
Install MAGLDR
Install a nand ROM
Problem remained.
Task 29 and format again. MAGLDR again. Another ROM, problem remained.
Task 29 and format again. Flash stock WinMo ROM. Problem gone.
Task 29 and format again. Flash ChuckyDroid and HD2ONE sd ROM. Problem gone.
Seems to me a problem with the MAGLDR / nand builds. No one else has had this? Any solutions?
Reflashing HSPL fixed it.
Also seems the Swype beta was causing similar issues. :/
Tried MAGLDR 1.12 and problem persists. Reflashing HSPL didn't fix the issue earlier, though it helped.
Does anyone have any ideas?
This really sounds like a hardware problem to me man... Try returning for warranty.

It's not hardware. Cause I can run Android SD builds and Windows and have no issues. Perfect operation of the touch screen in all the SD and Win builds. Perfect precisions too. Any build using the NAND and MAGLDR has the problem happen after a couple of minutes.
I can switch between the various types of builds and produce (or resolve) the problem consistantly. It seems odd to me the problem would only exist in MAGLDR use.

I'm sorry I had misread your post, I thought you had the same problem on WinMo but you just meant in Android with WinMo still in NAND.
Right. (Wish I could delete my previous posts and consolidate them properly.)
Also, it seems the screen is bit more ... charged when I'm using MAGLDR. Like there's a slight more "static charge" to it. I'm thinking it's some sort of driver issue or something. :/ It becomes really noticable once I install Swype (beta and nonbeta), so maybe Swype is changing a value or something that accentuates the problem.
Does anyone know how to contact the DFT team directly?
My touchscreen actually went out after flashing a NAND build. Heres the thread. If you could, chime in. Im trying to make this a known issue.

I do not know whether this will work or not. But try a NAND build with SENSE in it. Sense has a function of "Calibrate your Screen". Try and recalibrate your screen.
I know for sure the build "imilka's Vision Sense v3.0 (HD2Z)" has this feature. The link for this build is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898708
I hope that resolves your issue.
Are you certain about this?

[Q] T-Mobile HTC HD2

Hi i have a T-mobile HTC HD2 and i need some help. I have tried many builds including NAND and SD card android builds and also windows 7 but i seem to have a problem with my phone constantly freezing inside android or even when im trying to load MAGLDR sometimes it does a weird vibrate about 7 times. This is my main issue i tried to do task29 and restore everything and retry flashing it over but the problem seems to still occur i was wondering if anyone has a similiar problem and can help me diagnose whats wrong. It seemed to work fine before no freezes i dropped my phone several times I am not sure if that would cause it to freeze a lot or not. Thank you
I would highly suggest flashing everything back to stock and seeing if your warranty is still in effect, sounds like a possible hardware failure.
