My phone has to be restarted about every other day. Stuff just starts disappearing off the home screen and taking forever to do anything. Would an upgrade to 6.1 help this?
Are you on a stock Rom?
Since an upgrade will install a brand new Radio and Rom... Yes, it should help this. (so might a hard reset) However if your issue is Hardware( doesn't sound like it) or some poorly written app you have installed (could be) then the upgrade wont help unless you replace the hardware, or dont install the bad app.
So.. Yeah go for it.. It should help. If you havent flashed before.. READ the instructions so you can avoid major headaches or a bricked phone.
My Stock Verizon Phone locked up often... (once or twice a day)
Upgraded with DCDs most excellent Rom, Now my phone is solid.
I am having problems with my screen it wont touch I did a rom upgrade on it to see it will go away but it didnt so I am stuck on the first screen tap the screen to set up your windows and it stud there what can I do the screen was working perfectl until today how can I solve this problem please emergency
Try using Scott's Reloaded 4 ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444342 I used the "loaded" version and it doesn't prompt for the screen calibration. Have you tried a hard reset? It sounds like it might be a hardware issue, but I'm no expert.

tried hard reset already but when it starts the screen windows mobile 6.1 and it says tap on the screen I tap and it wont pass that I cant get into nothing what can I do .. I need my phone omg..
This can be caused by an OEM conflict. Try flashing either the stock rom or a clean rom like DCD's, then after it boots, if it still doesn't work, take out the battery for 5 minutes and then try to boot it back up, if it still doesn't work I would say you probably damaged the touchscreen and will need to go in for service unless you want to try the repair yourself, it's a very slim piece of plastic that I believe goes under the screen.

Hi and thank you I tried hard reset and the screen still didnt work I am still in the same position how do you clean the rom like DCD becasue my screen its still stuck in in the area where it says tap on the screen so windows can continue and it stays ther its still there omg...
by clean rom he meant a rom that doesn't have a bunch of junk on it. DCD's newest rom is a nice one. Have you tried reloading a rom from your carrier? try the official rom first. or better yet maybe you should take it back to the store to see what your options are before you go voiding any warrenties.
everything was fine, no problems with the phone at all, than I installed Duttys 4.1 rom and ever since the camera doesnt work. I got the camera to work once since then by un-ticking the camera tab from the Touch flow, soft resetting, then ticking the tab again but now thats not even working. I have installed 2 diferent roms since then and it still doesnt work. also the photo album doesnt work from that tab anymore but does in the program list where as the camera doesnt work at all.
Any help would be great
Have the same problem myself and have yet to find an answer
I found a guy that used advanced config to change one of the camera settings but I tried it and it didnt work
When you flashed the ROM, did you put the phone into boot loader manually, or did the installation software do it?
the installation software did it

I tried that myself and it worked for a while (a couple days) then the camera stopped working again. That trick has not worked since that first time. I have changed roms a couple of times and still nothing.

Same here. Also I did accidentally install a rom with the wrong spl and had to hard spl after installing the rom. I think I went from 1.14 to 1.56 or something like that. I had a green tint to the screen until I did the hard spl. I have installed many roms since then and have not had a problem. I did not have a camera issue before this but the camera did work for quite a while after the spl issue. Hopefully this makes sense what I am saying.
so you are saying your camera was fixed after you "re- hard SPL'd" your phone?

No, I have an unlocked telstra phone and I had flashed my rom a couple times without needing to hard SPL my phone and never had a problem with flashing roms or the camera. It was only after I flashed to a rom that needed the phone to be Hard SPL'd and I didn't properly Hard SPL my phone before flashing the rom. I got the wierd "green tint" to my screen and realized that i had incorrectly Hard SPL'd. I quickly realized my mistake and then did it correctly and then the newer rom worked fine. It was a couple weeks later that the camera stopped working. I can't remember if I was on the same rom or not from when I Hard SpL'd my phone.
Sorry if this is hard to follow.
My thought is, did my upgrade without properly Hard SPL'ing my phone damage the camera or is it something else. Again, I have since properly Hard SPL'd my phone and flashed many roms since without a problem except the non-working camera.
well I don't know but I hard SPL'd my phone the day I got it with the 1.56 HSPL and I have used may roms on this phone. The rom I installed when this happended was duttys WM6.1 rom

I was trying to revert to an older Hard SPL 1.14 and install an older rom to see if that did the trick. Anyway, in my haste I screwed up and installed the older Hard SPL 1.14 and forgot to add in the older Rom so I ended up with the green screen of death. I couldn't get it to connect via activesync and put it in bootloader mode and re-Hard SPL'd it to 1.56 and the green screen was gone. I was about to go back to the Hard SPL 1.14 with one of Duty's older pre 1.56 Roms but thought I would check on the camera again one last time.
Now the camera works. Again, this is not the first time I have gotten the camera to work and I have no idea how long it is going to last but it is working and I am not going to mess with it anymore right now. I will leave the Hard SPL 1.56 and Miri's WM6.5 Rom that I have on the phone alone and see how it goes.
I know this is not a complete answer and I don't know if just re-Hard SPL'ng will work but it is worth a shot. Again, I downgraded first 1.14, screwed up the phone the went back to 1.56 and the camera started working again. At least I know that it is probably not a hardware issue as I have no where to send it back to for repair. All is well in Wisconsin for the time being.
Well two things:
1st can you just tell me exactly what you did, step by step. If I understand you correctly, I have already tried this but there may be a step or 2 that I missed. please include the roms you went from and two also
2nd, just called HTC and they said my the #'s my phone still has some warranty left and they will honor it in the states (I will reflash to tesla rom and the stock SPL before I send it)
Thank you for keeping me up to date on what you have done to get yours working. If your camera fails again, just call the # on the US HTC customer service site.

hello there ,
1.14 radio is the problem ,
try to flash new one which is 1.16 in same form
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529031
or try to get into 6.1 and then Hard Rest with out Upgrade to dutty ,
seems problem in driver...
best regards
I havent had 1.14 on my phone since the day after I got it...
I am not very good at step by step instructions but you have obviously done a lot of flashing already, I will keep it short. Again, this started out as a botched attempt to downgrade my Rom to an older WM 6.1 Rom using the old 1.14 Hard SPL. You might not want to do this as it will temporarily screw up your phone. If you do, here are the steps I took. Really not too involved. Please read all steps first.
1. I synced my phone and downloaded the older 1.14 Hard SPL and flashed it.
link
2. That screwed up my phone "Aweful Greenscreen effect" and was not able use activesync anymore for flashing. I then put the phone into bootloader mode by powering off the phone. Hold in top power button until it asks if you want to power down. Yes. Then when you power up hold the volume down key and the power button at the same time. Make sure your USB cable it still plugged in. Your phone should now be in bootloader mode.
3. I downloaded the most current Hard SPL 1.56 and ran the HSPL Wrapper Blackstone 156OliNex
4. After that the Green Screen problem was gone and when I checked my camera it worked. I took a couple of photos and no problem. I opened it first with the WM Camera Program button then with the Manilla tab. When I used the Manilla tab it had to map the camera/videocamera button as we as find the photo album. After that it has showed up in Manilla normally every time I go back to it. Again, we will see how long this takes.
Thanks for the info on possibly being able to return the device for warranty reasons to HTC.
Hopefully this helps and my links work.
if you don't mind me asking, what dutty rom did you install because this all started for me when I insalled duttys 4.1 WM6.1 rom
Update
When I said I took the phone all the way back to stock, it wasnt 100% true. I loaded a stock HTC rom not a telstra rom.
with that being said, today I got the RMA # from HTC to have the phone repaired so I downloaded the newest updated Telstra Rom and loaded it onto the phone.By the way, My phone did not have the newest Telstra rom on it ever! When the phone was done, I started to prepair to load the newest stock SPL to go along with the rom when I notice the camera works..... What the hell?!?! I try loading a custom rom on it (miris 6.5 rom), camera still works! Hard reset the phone, camera still works. I don't know what this means but my phone is back on line with all features!
Thanks for everyones help and input
Keep your eye on it. It is almost like it slowly looses the connection to the camera and then has a hard time remaking the connection once it is lost. Then you have to do something drastic to get it back. I wouldn't mind so much if it only happened every three or four months but so far I have not been able to keep the camera going past two weeks without loosing it again. Keep me posted if yours goes out again.
Well that didn't take long. Camera is dead again. Going back to WM 6.1 and SPL 1.14 to see if that makes a difference. "unable to initialize" then camera and album disappears from TF3D.
What I ended up doing ( and I did it more then once cuz I tried to load a wm6.5 rom on it) was as fallows
starting with many different wm 6.5 roms, radio: 1.13.25.24 and HSPL 1.56
step 1: I flashed the newest telstra rom (Telstra_WWE_1.59.841.6_Radio_52.64.25.34_1.14.25.24)+
step 2: hard reset
step 3: flashed this custom 6.1 rom (gave up on trying to find a 6.5 rom that worked), L26 ultimate V3.55
step 4: hard reset
step 5: synced to my PC
step 6: loaded all my cabs (soft resetting after every 2 or 3)
Now Miris 6.5 V26 came close to working but when I would sync via PC or Microsoft My Phone it the camera bug would come back.
I am at about 18 hours without the bug. I have soft reset, changed the battery, synced the phone to my PC, called, received calls and text so far...
Hey guys,
So my touchscreen totally died yesterday, wouldn't respond to any touches at all, hardware buttons still worked however.
Assuming this was a hardware fault I was just going through the motions to book the phone in for a repair, first step was to restore a stock ROM from the SD card, i was previously running hspl 2.08 with one of dutty's recent ROM's.
To my surprise the stock rom has fixed the screen so this was obviously some serious rom or spl error (I tried a hard reset yesterday before coming to the conclusion it was hardware related)
I thought I would post my findings in case it helps anyone else, and would be interested to know if anyone has come across this before, do you guys think this must have been an spl issue if a hard reset didn't fix???
lancemate.
thank you
this just happened to me its after 7pm pacific time htc is closed and im going to try it now
it did not work my touchscreen has still failed and if its because i should remove the spl then i havent done it yet and how do i do it if the touschreen is gone
ok i did remove the spl and put back the stock telstra rom still touch screen failure, so tired of working with winmo crashing hardware and software, i went to android twice and came back to winmo because its what i know, i just keep getting let down, before this the latest let down was winmosquare, i dont know how much longer i can hold out for windows phone 7, i just may go evo 4g
Yesterday the touchscreen on my HD2 began to stop working correctly. It is a T Mobile US version. It wasnt dropped or exposed to water. If I play with it for awhile it will start to work again but only for a few minutes. This started when I had a NAND version of Android installed, I thought it may be something with the Android build so I flashed a different build and it still was not working. I then performed a task 29, reflashed HSPL, and the latest official stock rom from T mobile and the screen was still not working correctly. Is there any easy fix for this? If not what parts will I need to fix this correctly?
If you search around, this is a hardware issue - a faulty "digitizer" (connected to the LCD) - is known to the HD2 and other HTC devices. Fix = replace the digitizer. Repair by HTC is a good solution, if your HD2 is in warranty (which it very well may be in). I have this issue and have sent mine for repair.
yeah mine is on its way to me , becouse of the faulty digitizer
I am having the same issue.. I installed an android nand rom yesterday, everything was working perfect, then i used mass storage to copy games and as soon as i unplugged it, the touchscreen stopped working!! I thought some files got corrupt and tried reinstalling android, then stock win mo rom, and still the problem persists... any solution???
