Hi,
Hope somebody can walk me thru on fixing issues on my HTC HD2 with American Android. It always crashes or my the screen turns blank when the phone is on standby. I have to set the screen or light to come off after 30minutes and so i can touch the screen again so it does not come off. I just dont want to overuse the battery and keep re charging. I hate the fact that when the screen comes off, i have to do battery pull out then turn it back on to windows then boot to android which gets a little frustrating.i wish i can just get rid of windows software and just stick with android once the phone is turned on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Consider a different ROM, I have no experience with the ROM you are using, But I expect it works very well for most.
There is a great choice, and providing you follow the instructions should work well for you
Don't forget there are 2 different types of HD2 and the ROM's are slightly different for each type

Hi Folks!
New in the world of WM STD I have the following issues I can't find a solution to. Probably anybody can help cause the solution is nearer than I think...
From WM 6 Prof. I am used to turn on my device with the power button and turn it off, or at least the screen, by pressing it again. With my Snap I just can turn the display on with the power button. Turning off doesn't work for me, I have to wait until it turns dark on it's own. Is there a way to turn the display off by pressing a button like on WM Prof. devices?
I searched for lowering the battery warn level. Right now my Snap starts blinking when the battery is below 20%. In my eyes much too high and with WM Prof. I had the opportunity to change that in the settings. I couldn't find anything similar in WM STD. Is there a way to change it?
Are there any news about flashing a SPL 1.24 Snap? Hard SPL or Jump SPL. I'd prefer Jump SPL, but I would appreciate any solution to get a custom ROM.
Thanks a lot in advance for reading and probably answering!
Cheers

Just to be on the right side: Is that just a thing I see as a problem, is there no solution available or probably I wasn't able to explain my problem properly...
Please let me know.
Thanks

1. There is no way to turn off the display manually..good old non-touch technology
2. First i thought 20% iss to early too, but after it starts flashing, my Snap have only 5-6 hours left on normal use. Typical for rechargable batterys i guess.
3. i have no idea

Thanks for the answer. Yes, I guess the "turning off the display" way only is possible on pocket pc's, if you come from normal mobile phones it's what you are used to...
True about the 20%. Anyhow I wondered if it is adjustable...
Thanks!

Recieved my HD yesterday, and this is the symptom of the issue:
When the phone reaches its screen timeout (whether its 30 secs or 10 mins) period it the phone turns off completely. It is not possible to then turn the phone back on using the power switch or any other way. The only way the phone can be turned back on is to take the battery out and put it back in.
Initially i thought maybe it was the battery and somehow it didnt have proper connection with the copper contacts. However if i turn off the screen timeout off completely then the phone stays on and doesnt turn off. So as long as the phone doesnt go into power save mode or screen timeout its fine and stays on. Its also not the power switch as the switch works fine other wise.
I rang HTC support, spoke to some clueless call centre lady who tried to tell me it might be a proximity issue. I dont think it is as i dont have any issues when making or receiving calls. The problem is for some reason screen timeout causing the phone to completely shut down. I have searched on a few forums and cant seem to find anyone else with this issue.........FML
Forgot to add, i have also done the following:
- Reset to factory default
- Checked for udpates (get a message saying my phone is up to date)
- Made sure phone sim cover and battery cover are properly secured
Nothing has worked so far

So the switch turns the phone off and on again, or just off?
switch turns phone on and off any other time but after screen lockout kicks in it doesnt do anything, i have to take the battery out to turn the phone back on.
In a normal scenario if i want to power the phone down and then power it back up again then it is fine
Hope that makes sense
It really sounds like a software issue.
Is your DHD branded or unlocked?
Maybe try install some of the custom roms from arround the forum.I use LeeDroid 1.2 and it works like a charm.
Go to "ROM Development" thread. There are a few HOW-TOs on the top. There is always a risk u mess things up but it's small and from how it sounds, u don't have much of a choice anyway good luck
Its a branded "Orange" phone from the UK. I think im just going to return it and get a replacement and if i still have issues then ill try your suggestion thanks. Really disappointing, Desire HD seems to be riddled with issues.
has anyone faced the phone switching off even when it's screen locked? This happened a few times to me.
1st scenario is when my phone is in a waist pouch which is a little tight for this model. when i take it out of the pouch, i either find it off or waiting at the sim unlock screen. this is caused by pressing the power button accidentally.
2nd scenario is after charging over night, i wake up to find the phone asking me to key in sim unlock pin (it will not be completely off because whenever charger is plugged in, it will power up). The phone was screen locked before i charge it and i did not touch the power button by accident unlike scenario 1.
which ever the scenario, by right the power off button shouldn't work whilst in screen lock right?
The same scenarios happend to me, sometimes more than once a day. Very annoying.
I too have this issue, especially the overnight charging one, which is annoying because then the alarm fails to go off!!! After convincing 2 other people to get the Trophy 7 they also experience this.
I called HTC support in the UK yesterday and all they could suggest to me was that I reset the phone settings, which I've done, and of course ended up needing to put all my settings back in which is extremely frustrating when I expect that it won't fix anything.
I really would recommend calling HTC support in your country and logging a call, because the guy told me that I was the first to report it.
You can get the phone numbers from the htc website, which i cannot post the URL to since I'm a new user, but I'm sure you can find it. Go to "Support" -> "Customer Service" -> "Support by hotline"
Of course, you could not call them to report the issue, but then they'll think that I'm the only user in the world with the problem and not actually resolve it!!! It's going to take you about 10mins and they'll keep talking to you about windows mobile 6.5, instead of windows phone, but the more calls logged = greater chance of resolution.
I've had the turning of when it's in my pocket, but i've never had it turn of overnight when charging.
at least not that i've noticed
Whilst experimenting with android on my touch pro from the very beginning when you couldn't enter a sim code, i've removed it and i'm to lazy to set a new one
All the problems (screen freeze of crazy dancing icons of phone shutting down) solved after FLASHING newest WWE ROM from this forum. Maybe helps, but U have to decide and do it yourself or not.
This has happend MANY times on my trophy aswell.. I ended up turning off the sim lock code (That way the phone starts up again after boot and your alarms etc works)
Yup, I've had the "pocket" thing also happen to me, more than once in the same day... quite frustating.
Qtek S200 (HTC Prophet) After ROM update, its now shutting down whilst in sleep mode
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but recently I upgraded my s200's ROM using the CD utility that came with it. Its now running Build 14928.2.2.0 of WM5.
Before the ROM update it has never done it once.
Some people said they got the problem when it went into lock screen, my lock screen is fine. It will only do it when the phone is in sleep mode, if i disable the "power off" timout setting then its absolutly fine aslong as i dont press the power button.
Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem?
Somebody did mention about flashing the rom from one of OS's on this site, but all the ones I have found contain dead rapidshare links.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
My solution on Trophy is simple, using a Casemate case on my phone. It makes the off button so stiff, that it's hard to shut off.
I guess I never realized why it was such a pain in the case to shut off... this MUST be the reason. Also, since I now have two Trophy's (one for developing roms), this other one I just bought has been through hell, and it's difficult to half press the camera button to focus. The Casemate case I have on my good Trophy makes it far harder to press the camera button, but my year old Trophy that I've always had doesn't suffer from any problems with its camera button.
This is the newer version of the Casemate case I was using on my HTC Trophy. I don't know if this will help you with your older phone, but maybe Casemate makes a case for it. Since it's an older phone, it will be difficult.
Ok, so here's the full story;
I dropped my phone a month or so back, and the LCD broke, so I bought a new LCD/digitizer on eBay. I've replaced screens on heaps of phones/cameras before, and this wasn't that challenging (HTC actually provide a video tutorial on disassembly/assembly), but now that it's all back together it has some serious problems.
The first time I turned it on it was fine - I went through WM6.5, booted into android no probs, made a call and turned WiFi on to test connections, but after about 15 mins it froze and I had to pull the battery. Now I cannot turn it on. most of the time, I turn it on and it brings up the very first splash screen for the ChuckyDroid ROM I have on it, but stays there. Occasionally it will load further, and VERY occasionally it will get all the way into WM6.5, but 90% of the time, it will turn on, load the first splash screen, then vibrate 7 times before freezing completely.
I've read about this problem on other phones, but haven't seen anyone provide a working solution. I am positive that all the assembly has been done correctly (especially seeing as people are getting it on their stock phones, HD2 included), and would really like any help.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
I think the motherboard has problem when you drop it. The device will vibrate 7 times if NAND error. Usually when the device gets hotter or warmer, NAND become unreadable. This is the error that many users have even myself.
To temporarily solve this, you can take out the battery, and put your phone in the freezer for 5 minutes, then take it out. Put the battery on. Then turn the phone on. It will work normally if the bottom part stay cold. So make sure you have a bag of ice to cool the bottom down while using.
Another way is send the phone to HTC and request a fix... cause this is motherboard problem.

I just switched from the HTC Desire to the HD2 and installed android on it.
I compared the two phones and I noticed that when I click on a button of my desire the screen will turn on instantly. On the HD2 however, when I press a button first of all the backlight goes on but only shows a black screen, then after 1-2s my lockscreen finally appears.
I think theres a problem with my HD2, but did someone also noticed this or could compare his HD2 to another android phone? I hope there is some sort of fix for that although it doesnt seem like a common problem
thank you
follow this thread for more info your problem.

reboot
try rebooting your HD2 a few times, this might fix it
As far as I'm aware it's a problem with all Android ROM's on the HD2. I have used WP7 and have got none, but then with Android ROM's I get it.
Well that was before my phone bricked itself.
Why don't you flash Task 29, before Android Rom.
