I recently have been experiencing problems with my HD2 freezing and lagging.
I decided to get rid of the stock ROM that came with my phone. I installed the HSPL 3 on my phone and it is now at 2.08 instead of the 2.10 it came with. I installed the Energy ROM build from Aug. Cant remember which one. For about a month the ROM gave me no issues at all. Then suddenly i started getting freezes as I once did on the stock ROM. I flashed the ROM again and still freezing. I backed up my data on the micro sd card and re-formatted it but the HD2 freezes without the sd card installed. also many times I have had to pull my sim card out to get the phone to respond to my finger. also when i recieved a text message the phone froze.
When i boot into android the phone is fine. no freezes. some lag but no freezing at first. now i get random freezes as well. I just installed the latest Froyostone build from Sept 29 V 3.1 on my micro sd card and it as well has been freezing. Before I installed this new version I was running a clean froyostone version and that too was freezing.
im beginning to think my phone is bad! My sim card is old. Ive had it possibly 4-5 years now since i first signed up with tmobile. ive tried just about every tip available to fix the freezing issue and nothing works. the phone freezes at bootup with a new flashed ROM. freezes on the stock ROM too. Tried the task 29 flashed with radio file.
currently on my HD2 I have the following
SPL 2.08
Radio: 2.07.50.27_2
ROM: Energy Aug 28 2010 WWE
for Android
FroyoStone Sense - Version 3.1 (29-September-2010)
I flashed from the 2.10.50.26 to 2.07.50.27_2 using the task29
I have tried many radios. the stock, the 2.07.50.27_2, 2.08.50.05 and the latest 2.14.50 radio. ALL freeze on my phone. I read on some threads that radios cause the phone to freeze but all of them are freezing. 2.08.50.05 i got my best performance. 3G was very strong indoors and download speeds were through the roof but when i ran android i got the robotic voice so i changed the radio back to stock.
Sorry for all the mixed up info but just wanted to say what I have gone through. The phone will work fine for awhile and then it just freezes. Also another weird thing is that when the phone freezes and i do a battery pull it boots back up right back where it left off. like it did a system resume. it wont say HTC Loading HTC Sense it just goes right to the lockscreen and freezes. WTF!!!
so please anyone have any info for me? because no matter what ROM and/or radio combination i use the phone freezes and even without the micro sd card installed. yes my card is a class 2 and i heard on th htc forum that they are replacing the class 2 cards for class 4 cards but that doesnt seem to be the issue here because the phone freezes without the card.
when i flash the ROM or radio i do not have the sim or sd card installed. I also tried the elegancia rom and i loved it but same thing. freezing. I dont have any apps installed on the phone except for GRemotePro which is installed on the storage card and the phone was freezing before i ever installed that app.
So if anyone reading this has solutions or links to other threads on here please help me by leaving them! I have done a very extensive search through this site for solutions and done many of them with no luck. I hate to call tmobile and go through the hassle of getting another phone especially because i paid 300 bucks for a NEW phone and I dont want to send this one back and get a refurbished unit. I want a NEW working unit in which i originally paid for to begin with!!!!
HELP my fellow HD2 users! I love this phone!
i hink you should download nrg's newset rom but flash the radio he recomends
I'm also having the same issue, and looking for a fix. as what i observed, its a hardware related issue, not software issue.
Did you get any solution after that? I like this phone but it failed me...
I just installed WP7 on my HD2 and it restarts every 20 mins or. No error messages, everything went smoothly. Everything is working as well, although I haven't activated my phone yet. Is this normal behavior for an un-activated phone?
EDIT: Actually it restarts more like every 15 mins now. It also deletes all my info I set up (email, contacts, etc).
Maybe it is the SD card. Did you try another one?
I only have one SD card. I was running android on it fine this morning but I just read in the instructions that some SD cards aren't compatible. I guess I'll go buy another one.
Yes you sd card is not supported
check DFT release log its mentioned there
with some memory cards you will get random restrarts
Yeah, I'm experiencing similar behavior right now. I installed WP7 last night and at first it wouldn't read my SD card, after doing a full (boring and long) format to FAT32 it was still not getting recognized by WP7. I hard reset my phone with the card inside and VOILA! It was finally recognized. Then I moved some music from Zune on to it and went to sleep. Woke up this morning and there's was no music in my phone, did a soft reset and music appeared! But now it just keeps restarting randomly. I'm using the original 16gb that came with my HD2 and I can't afford a new SD at the moment!
Dammit! Phone restarted with the 8GB card...
Thread moved to HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A and General
I am having somewhat of the same issue. however mine only reboots when phone is in sleep mode and upon rebooting it resets everything. But if you turn the phone off and back on, all settings returns. I am not sure if this is an sd card problem because the sd card I have is one of the sd cards that is supposed to be on the list of working cards and also the rebooting is not random, only happens while phone is in sleep mode.
It's happening to me also!! I'm using the sd card that came with my cell... any solutions yet?
Yes there is:another card.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Yeah only solution is to get a different card. I traded my mother my 16GB from my HD2 for the 8GB from her MyTouch/Magic and I haven't had the restarting problem ever since. I hope to upgrade to a good 32GB or a 16GB that works in the future, but for now 8GB will have to do.
Radio
I had this same problem when i tried the radio from the thread on how to flash to WP7.
I solved my problem by simply updating my radio to the latest.
There is a TMOUS radio thread in the winmo 6.5 dev section.
Reflash WM7 again and it solved my problem

Good advice. My phone has not been running smoothly all day long after reflash.
Here's what happens to me and why I havent been bothered by it.
Basically the phone has been working top notch since I flashed it. No hiccups etc.
There are certain instances when I turn off my phone at will, and turn it back on the MAGLDR screen starts, then the DFT splash shows up and it reboots once or twice and then boots up fine like nothing.
I have not had any reboots while on the OS at all. Just when Im gonna turn it on, and has only occurred three times since WP7 was flashed. I dont lose settings or anything like that, everything is intact AFAIK. Anyone else?

Are you using the stock sd card?
OK, I have 1 question regarding accepted SD cards.
I'm not having this reboot issue but want to make sure if I understood correctly.
I have a kingston 2gig class4 card.
I have formatted it in windows, put the card in the phone (with wp7 installed) and made a HARD RESET (using vol down x 2);
The phone started superbly, I have wifi access with SD inserted.
about phone shows 1.6GB free space now;
When I connect the phone to zune software it reports 900 megs free
When I pull the card out and insert it to winxp sp3 it reports it has 200 megs ALL.
I know about how to format the sd back but I just want to understand how WP7 uses the SD card.
Can anyone explain? What partions does wp7 creates and how it manages the SD spacE?
What's with the different reports about free space (about phone and zune ? )
Thank you
i had tested for the forum with my SDcard 2Gb and my phone only restart so if a have my 16Gb SD HC my phone is OK !! and work fine !!

You're right!! Using the newest radio it works like a charm!

It was working fine for 1 day, then reboots after turn off and turn back on.
Fixed that issue: I'm on Android now

Solved the rebooting issue for me to. Thanks for this little fix. Running LEO512 with stock card here.
I installed MCCM GB V2.0 Gingerbread HoneyComb Sense theme [kernel tytung_r5] and for the beginning everything worked fine. But after installing some apps and rebooting, the phone app gave robotic sound and asked for force closure. I tried to reinstall, reboot several times but same problem exists. I formatted sd card with SDFormatter 2.0 completely. Still prb exists. What am I doing wrong or is this a general problem everyone having? HD2 details as follows: WM 6.5 Build 1.66, Radio 2.10.8, HSPL 2.08. I would very grateful if someone could help me out with this prb.
How did u flash your ROM ?
Did u use CWM or DFT method ?

No, I just flashed it to sd. and another problem with my phone is I cannot flash anything radio, wm custom, etc. when i start to flash anything via active sync, RUUCustom starts bootloader on the phone, shows the progress bar (bar stays at 0% always) and it stays for approx. 2-3 minutes and gives an error "connection error" and goes to recovery stage. I remeber last time I just falshed HSPL. That's it. Since that time I can't flash anything like radio, magldr etc. That's why I flashed android to sd by just copying android folder to sd and running clrcad.exe and haret.exe. I'm a novice and don't understand much. But I have general idea. If anyone can help me to sort out above problems, I would be very grateful.
Got the same problem with that build. I heard that it's caused by some sort of memory problems, Anyway I didn't found the solution.
Could be left over data from previous build, delete data of the apps that keep crashing.(Dialer, Dialer storage), reboot, try again.
Hi!
I put my MAGLDR on my HD2 and tried tytungs ICS ROM, was not happy with the performance, went back to Boxmax GB Sense build, but after restoring data+apps the phone will start rebooting every few minutes.
I boot andorid from the SD card, so I tried a few versions of the ROM, v8.5 and v7 ([BoxmaX.S3.5.v8.5][Runny HTC Sensation XL][Kmarc2.1 + KTytung r14]).
Same result, sooner or later it'll start rebooting.
The weird thing is that I got another HD2 which is set up identically (magldr+BoxmaX.S3.5.v7) and is working perfectly for months.
I'd appreciate if someone could give me a few ideas on how to debug this?

When it reboots, is it when you're heavily using the phone? Do you feel the back of the phone getting warm before it reboots? Do other SD ROMs work perfectly? Logically since another HD2 with the exact same setup works fine, I would assume that it's something to do with hardware but I don't really know why something like this would happen so suddenly (assuming it worked fine before you changed the ROM)

Ah, some more info: Phone was working perfectly with wm6.5+haret, and with magldr+ICS (albeit with ICS bugs) but no reboots ever though it was always overclocked.
As to reboots, they happen for no reason, even when on stock frequency. I don't even have to use the phone, it'll be sitting there sleeping and I just hear the boot up sound.
And here we go: swapped the sd and sim cards, and it is rebooting even in the other HD2, so it's a software OR SD card problem.
I'll move my data to another SD card to exclude it from the equation, but I doubt it's the card.
Ok, so my procedure to setting up a rom is:
after the 1st boot, either log in in to google or not
install TB, restore apps+data
use MyBackup to get SMSes back
Only after or in the middle of that does the rebooting start happening, once it starts it's game over as I only get a minute or two before reboot.
My idea is that something I'm restoring is causing it, but have no clue what it could be.
My last backup was in ICS, but I have no clue how could that be a problem, apps are apps :|
I'm only backing up/restoring regularapps+data not any system stuff.
How could get to the logs from the data.img? Maybe they'll give me a clue about this?

Hmm, so if it reboots after you restore then perhaps you're right, it may be a problem with something you're restoring. Apps may be apps, but some apps are different for ICS and GB (e.g. YouTube, Launchers, Google Chrome etc.) so it's quite possible it may be causing a problem. Try doing the following:
Fresh install the SD build
Restore apps which you KNOW are the same on ICS and GB. This includes all games and many other apps.
For apps which you aren't sure about, download them for the play store.
Manually restore specific app data for the apps you downloaded
Hopefully, if the problem's to do with an app being restored, this will sort it out.

Could be, but I only had ICS running for 10 day and did not install any new apps. I don't have any games
Fresh install the SD build

Done that ~10 times.
With different approaches. (Restoring more/less)
Tried both newest v8.5 and v7 (gf's [email protected] is running the v7).

Yeah, I'll have to do that. I'll see if have the backups before ICS and just put the latest data.
What a chore
Tried another SD card, same happens, so at least I know it's 100% software fault.
How could I check the logs?
Hi guys I have a small problem ...when i turn on my phone i type PIN and i confirm it after 1 sec or so of loading my phone reboots and its happening over and over again even when i turn off the phone it turns on on its own i have to remove battery then i can go to recovery.... i tried to turn on phone without SIM and its working without problem .... i know that it could be SIM card problem i will try another if i will have a chance ... but any other suggestions? actually wiping everything or reflashing ROM or even flashing another ROM didnt help me...

hi. after my battery is over, after charging it, my desire z havent worked fine anymore because it's rebooting everytime after some seconds in the OS.
what can i do to solve this? i've changed the ROM from andromadus audacity b4 to mimicry and the problem persists.
i dont know what to do more and hope this is not hardware!
there are some way to debug the boot from adb or anything like that?
