Hello
My HD2 Worked well for a long time, but now everytime I press the "sleep" key it turns off for half a second then turns back on and proudly displays the lockscreen without me pressing anything. There is no way to turn the screen off and go in standby mode anymore.
Obviously the battery drains so much faster from not being able to have the screen off and this silly problem actually makes the phone unusable
I flashed a few roms using HardSPL and now HSPL2. I'm currently running Artemis 11.0, the problem appeared may days after flashing while using Artemis ROM 9.0. A hard reset seemed to fix it but the problem reappeared. Today flashing 11.0 only solved the problem at first boot.
Anyone had that before? Not sure if it's software/rom related or not anymore. HELP
As far as Ive seen, its only you an me who have had this problem so far.
Honestly, Im relieved to see someone else with this problem.
I had exactly as you described, but using Axlor roms.
It worked fine for 1/2months, then all of a suddon the screen backlight wouldnt go off, but a reset fixed it.
But it got worse and worse.
Now nothing will work...
Ive taken everything back to stock, and i mean EVERYTHING! Not a single app installed.
And I still have this problem. I've tried it all.
I think its a warrenty job....
EDIT:
I also noticed the backlight will go off fine when the phone is charging, is that the same for you?
I just sent the phone off to Tmob today, to see if they can fix/replace it.
I'll keep you informed.
Same problem. Was running fine on stock ROM 1.66 then backlight did not dim and would not go into standby. Put into standby, screen goes off then straight back on to the lock screen. Since then have had other problems at boot, sometimes it locks on HTC white screen needing battery removal, sometimes launches straight into Navipanel and will not exit, HTC sense homescreen sometimes launches in landscape and will not go into normal portrait mode. Reflashed with different ROM's same symptoms persist so have returned to Vodafone UK under warranty, fingers crossed.
i've had this on early versions of the rom i use, the chef fixed it, making me think its the software, not your phone.
I experienced this issue when I minimised a game called virtual pool. Closing it in task manager would then allow me to permanently make the phone sleep.

How come Ive still got the problem after reflashing several times and taking everything back to exactly as it came from the box?

I too have had the navi panel problem.
Im praying they fix mine under warrenty
Yes the problem is exactly what you describe, hard reset and flashing to a stock rom doesn t fix it with no programm running in the background
Navipanel seems to be on randomly sometimes so can I guess it could be related.
I found a fix, after starting the phone, plugging and unplugging the usb cable to the phone WHILE THE SCREEN IS ON fixes it but only until the next restart
Considering sending it for warranty now.
Thanks for replies! If anybody knows more let us know
Update re standby problem
Got my phone back from Vodafone UK today. Was advised software corrupted and that they had reflashed and it had been fully tested and was now working fine.
On power up (even without SD card or SIM) it had exactly the same fault as before, when put into sleep mode the screen comes back on after about 1 second.
I tried the plug in and remove USB lead fix and this also works for me until the next restart so it would seem that this must be a hardware problem.

Ive noticed allot more people getting this problem. So its not only us.
Tmob are replacing mine, so Im guessing its out of our control now.
did any of you guys try performing a task 29 in between flashing roms? it may help

Actually no, I overlooked it.
Probably would have been a good idea
Prehaps thats worth a try Mr Opr

Thanks for this workaround. Now with the urgency gone hopefully somebody finds a lasting solution without the need of sending it in..
I have same problem guys after 4 months using. ...and my HD2 is unusable with no standby. I mean battery gets weak during 2-3 hours. Whats your guess guys is it software problem. Cause Im afraid of this is hardware prob because after reset goes my device in wrong state.
Help!
Sadly I'm running into this same error with my t-mobile hd2....getting serious power drain...can anyone confirm if the task 29 helped at all? Mine won't stay off for more than 30 seconds.
** Found out the google easy sms beta app I was running had a service which was causing the app to come out of standby...uninstalling this app cured the problem.
For me, it was a sd slot problem. When i removed the sd card, phone always waked up after 0.5 seconds, and card was detected as bad.
Now the SD slot was changed (under guarranty) and it work fine, no wake up if sd slot is empty.
Any update on this? My HD2 starting doing this today as well
And I have no usb cable at work to 'trick' it. The only option is to pull the battery which I don't want to do. This is ridiculous. Am I going to have to hard-reset the damn thing to fix it?
FYI I didn't do *ANYTHING* to my phone in a couple of weeks (no new apps, etc.) and it started doing this out of the blue.
You hit the red 'end call' button and it goes black..then comes right back on.
The odd thing is it *thinks* its plugged in because the only screen setting I can get it to acknoweldge is the 'backlight level when charging'. So somehow my phone thinks its plugged in even though my only usb cable is back home.
Grrr. No registry tweaks or temp files I can delete to reset this behavior?
Hi everyone, I just purchased 2 HTC HD2 phones from T-mobile 5 days ago and every thing was fine until 2 days ago. The phone that is mine started to freeze on the unlock screen / slide button, will not unlock all the time, sometimes it does sometime it doesn't. I have to remove the battery and reset to unlock. Both phones came with the same firmware version 2.13.531.1 but only my phone freezes and not my wifes. I read in the T-Mobile forums that, the latest update would fix my issue. So I update my firmware to the latest version (actually reinstalled latest version as it was already installed on phone, to see if that would fix issue) 2.13.531.1, to fix unlocking issues in the lock screen. But after updating several times and trying almost every thing I have read about in this forum and HTC's forum, like disabling sensing and cleaning the RAM removing locations from weather app and permanently deleting all text messages and emails, and disable autolock with cab file, Nothing has worked. I have 2 HTC HD2 but only 1 freezes. They both have the same firmware version 2.13.531.1. The only work around I have found is to deactivate automatic shut down in the settings menu to keep the phone from locking automatically sense it only freeze at the unlock screen/slide button.How ever this drains my battery alot faster because the screen only dims but never shuts off and its not a real fix to the issue. If anyone knows of a real fix please post here will I check again for any knew posts......................Thank you .
It might just be a defective phone.
I for one started on the (i believe its 2.10) firmware & then upgrade to the 2.13....HATED IT. They 2.13 which was supposed to "fix" certain bugs seemed to make mines worst so i reinstalled the original 2.10.
Im not sure if they do handset trade where you are, you could call the store and find out, if not, you could always downgrade the software to see if it works, or just flash a custom ROM....
Or wait on hole for a TMO rep and see if they can just send you a replacement (once you got through a bunch of troubleshooting that most likely wont work).
Good LUCK!
mine also freezes on the lock screen, is there a way to deactivate the lock screen during standby?

Go to google and type in "deactivate lockscreen on hd2"
Choose the second result...
Didnt want to get in trouble for posting the link to another site so i decided to play it safe....
Hello.
Appreciate your help please.
whenever my HD2 goes to sleep mode, and when i press any button to activate the lockscreen, there is a delay before the lockscreen appears. sometimes this delay is more that 6 or 7 seconds. did any body face a similar problem and is there a fix for that?
I am on a stock ROM and not using CHT.
Thankss
this is not normal; never happened to me when on stock. but, often this is from software installed or bloatware installed.
options in my opinion - uninstall programs. or hard reset. or flash a new rom; this latter one is probably best!
good luck.
Hi all I have a small issue. Since after I upgraded to lollipop I am experiencing an issue with the device locking.
Every time i pull down the notification bar from top in 10 seconds my phone gets locked. I will be reading my notifications and it will just lock, I cant keep it open for more than 10 secs.
This started happening after the update. The autolock is set for 2 mins so that's not the problem.
Please if anyone can help let me know and if anyone else experiencing this issue?
(Still havent tried reloading the new OS will do that if no other solution works)
Thanks
Did you factory reset the device yet? Try that, should work.

Thanks will give it a try and let you know.
So I figured out the issue. I did a factory reset and installed all the apps I had again and came to notice this happens when I install Nova Launcher and Tesla Unread app. Hopefully an update on these apps will resolve the issue.
Hi everyone!
I have a OP 2 for more than one and a half years now and never had any issues with it(stayed stock...) until recently. I didnt update the phone to the latest version and was putting it off, and today in the afternoon when I tried to unlock my phone it said the 'Fingerprint hardware is not available' and after unlocking the phone with the pattern, it IMMEDIATELY LOCKS ITSELF BACK !!! after split second it just locks the screen while everything is working like connection, wifi, messages, notifications, etc. but due to this I cannot access anything on the phone, can't go to settings and switch to onscreen nav bar buttons, can't force stop/wipe cache the com.fingerprints.serviceext either, tried restarting it several times, downloaded the update but can't even install it because the phone just locks!:crying: I have no idea what would fix it and I am avoiding a full reset and wipe on the phone(also based on all i have read, dont think it would fix it anyways)
If anyone knows whats the problem or has dealt with it or knows someone who has, please help me out here on how to fix this and what to do. I did not root it or flash custom ROM's on it yet and never had a flip cover or any sort of case so literally don't know why it happened.
Thanks in advance,
Max
Hi
I had the exact same issue with mine, I was on LineageOS and could access the logs so I was able to determine it was an hardware failure.
Went to a repair shop to replace the home button, and Bam it worked again.
If you didn't flash a custom ROM it is likely an hardware issue just like I had.
