Hi there,
I have a Palm Treo T850. I upgraded it with the 28014 ROM. It works pretty well, but the device hangs several times a day and I need to reset it every time.
Any info about that?
Thanks in advanced,
Wilson.
That sent me shock vibes buddy when I saw you mentioning 29XXX...lolz
Anyway I suggest you to change the radio along with its spl. Try changing the ROM if that doesn't help either.
same problem here...
it hangs, remains frozen on standby clock screen....
everything is OK when using stock 6.1rom
could it be related to mem card perhaps? i used it without mem card but with older 6.5rom - it worked without freezing...
i've just remembered that now
Mine doesnt have a memory card, and it crashes all the time - needing me to take out the battery - so that's not it.
Other 6.5 builds for me havent been functional in different ways so this one, other than freezing a few times a day - has been the most functional of the other builds on this forum. Crashes are annoying and sometimes I miss calls due to not knowing the phone has slept with the fish.
Its been a while since this one was out so I was hoping to see a new build or two to try and improve the reliability but nothing for the past month.

1- Hello guys, I have an T-Mobile USA HD2. I love it but it freezes like crazy, 2-3 times a day if not more. I ran Task 29 to delete every possible trail of previous roms followed by a hard reset but nothing. It will still freeze.
2- I also have a lot of signal problems. Its constantly changing from 3G to Edge on the same location. I know that is not normal so I spoke to T-Mobile and they changed the SIM card but it will still change the signal back and forth. I re-flashed couple of radios but nothing, I only accomplished to drain more battery.
3- BSB Tweaks is an awesome app but there are issues with the Rotation Option. If I enable Rotation to the "Start" -> "home screen" the photo album and music will be affected because the already come with landscape support. I tried to disable the landscape support for these using a registry editor but did not find a way.
Is there any solutions for these problems? Any help will be very much appreciated, not only from be but as well from others with the same or similar problems. Thanks in advance to all of you.
Note: I noticed the recently released TMUSA HD2s come with a yellow reset button. I bought my back on March when they sold out Nation wide with in the firs 4 hours and it comes with a RED reset button. This might explain a lot. If you know something please share. Thanks!
I would like to know if there is help for freezing issue.
I also did Task 29, flashed few different radios, few different roms incoluding stock, and it still happens. If my phone freezes I have to try for 20 minutes to restart it, as it hangs everywhere starting with bootloader, to manila.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
I had a similar issue as well and it turned out to be a cab file I had installed that was not compatible for my ROM. I had to go through and isolate which cab it was by using the date it was added and when I noticed the issues.
When your phones freeze....does it do it radomly or while trying to access or carry out anything specific. Your problem could be caused by any number of reasons but giving as much detail regarding your problem keeps you from getting so frustrated trying all sorts of fixes. Out of curiosity what ROM's are you both currently running?
I am currently using Elegancia ROM from August 23. Before I was using Energy ROM. I tried newest, stock Rom for T-Mobile HD2 but it didn't solve the issue.
I tried reinstalling HSPL, but it didn't help either.
The problem started after I put Ubuntu 0.2 on my sd card. I was playing with it for a little and it suddenly rebooted my HD2. I though, OK, no big deal, it's just in infant stage.
So I booted Windows again (energy rom with 2.12 radio) but it hanged while Sense was loading. I wasn't able to get it back to life after few reboots so I did a hard reset (vol up/down power on) It worked fine.
My problem mostly happens when I run android and when it reboots for some reason I can't get back to windows. It hangs, sometimes it hangs on bootloader before it even shows me radio and data version!! sometimes it goes past bootloader and hangs right after sense launches, and sometimes it is perfectly fine.
It also seems that when I just use WinMo it is fine, I can power down, and soft reset without major issues. But after running android I get that issues, especially when Android crushes.
I am thinking that android may be corrupting some WinMo files, but how is that possible? Android doesn't have access to NAND so technically it shouldn't prevent WinMo from booting on bootloader level.
Please let me know if you need me to explain more.
Thanks for your help

PS. I don't have any custom cabs installed at this point. I have super fresh and clean installation of elegancia rom
Yeah...Android may be the culprit. I have shyed away from trying it because I have talked to quite a few people (not on XDA) that have tried it on the HD2 and they have the same issues. The Android OS really makes the HD2 unstable. I personally am going to hold off on the Android bandwagon until a little more time passes, after all WinMo works just fine for me. Try just running on WinMo and see what happens. Based on what you have said, it runs fine as long as you are not using Android
yeah, it's is good idea to stay away for some time. But Android development needs testers. If no one is willing to test than there will be no improvement.
What I can't understand is that even after I do hard reset I still get freezes.

Yeah I agree with you on Android development needing testers. I do rely on my phone a lot for work purposes and I can't always afford to have the phone freezing up constantly.
Are you hard re-setting with the Android OS still installed?
Technically it is still installed but it is only present on the SD Card, and not anywhere else so it shouldn't matter. Next time I get freeze I will try to remove SD Card before hard resetting.
I tried booting few times with SD Card taken out, but it didn't help.

I have the same issue...i'm using energy rom and i noticed that lately its freezing like hell...at least twice a day...!! NRGZ already notice the freezing issue and is trying to solve it...but it still crashes. I'm constantly changing the rom as he updates...and right now i'm running the August 25.
Sometimes it crashes while being turned off...and i need to take the battery off to restart.
I had the same issue,all i did loaded a diff rom and formatted my sim card problem solved
I did format my SD Card many times. Did not help. I used recommended FAT32.
Yesterday my phone froze when I was trying to add program shortcut to Sense... silly.
I rebooted phone, it booted fine, but hang as soon as I went to check my TXT messages. Rebooted again and it is working fine until now.
I currently have Elegancia ROM with 2.12.50 radio, have not been using android for couple of days, but it is still there on my SD Card.
It is getting a bit frustrating. I wonder what else I can try to make it stop freezing.

My phone rebooted again yesterday.
I couldn't boot to windows for the next 20 minutes... I tried about 10 times before it worked. 2 or 3 times it booted windows and froze as soon as I clicked on one of sense tabs.
I haven't played with Android for past week and the freezing problem is still an issue. I even removed andorid form my SD Card.
When all this happened I was just using skyfire to browse internet.
I am hopeless at this point. I have no idea what else I could try to make it stop rebooting and freeezing.
Any ideas?? I would greatly appreciate any help.
PS. I recently found a thread about a tool that searches for corrupt files on Android devices after clean flash, is there something similar available for WinMo?
Here is the thread I am talking about:

I just started having this issue today. I have used darkstones most recent build from the 18th. it has worked perfectly till today. I use energy roms. i just installed a older rom today still have the same problem. this problem appears weither in droid or winmo. All the hard keys still function and the phone can receive calls. Thanks for any help you may be to lend.
my phone just froze again.
All I did was take it out of my pocket and unlock screen, and there it is: FREEZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Funny thing is that Android doesn't freeze for me... it crashes sometimes, but never freezes. It is only WinMo that freezes on me or doesn't boot. Android always boots.
I really wish the NAND was accessible so I could flash Android to NAND and forget about WinMo

you, me and 17,000+ HD2 owners are all wishing for that exact thing
Your issue with the freezing/rebooting is stumping me too. You've flashed different ROM's, including stock, done hard resets, checked the battery pins, reformatted the SD card and even tried running the phone without the SD card inserted...do I have all that right? The fact that it doesn't show the symptoms when running Android just makes it that much more mysterious. I'd say it all points to a hardware issue, but if it doesn't act that way when you're in Android, that (probably) shoots that theory out of the water. But, at the same time, running task 29 and reflashing different ROM's should also have eliminated any possible software-based causes, so....
the only thing that comes to my mind is micro SIM card. I did an upgrade on my ATT account to get iPhone (traded for HD2) and those fu...ers at ATT wouldn't let me keep my regular sized SIM card. I had to use my old SIM card and cut it's inside to place micro sim in it. I used a regular sied SIM to hold micro SIM in place.
I don't think however that this is a problem because I believe my phone froze few times before I did that SIM card swap besides, I have no issues with phone calls or reception both in Android or WinMo.
I am clueless at this point.
I just got another Android version and will try it to see how it works. If I have any problems I will try using my wive's SIM card to see if it helps with freezing and WinMo booting.

EDIT: ANDROID just rebooted itself. 2 minutes after clean installation. geee, I am leaning towards Hardware being the issue.
What I did is:
1. open browser
2. go to google
3. search for speedtest
4. open speedtest.net
and Android rebooted itself and now my phone can't go past Tmobile bootloader logo (pink square with 'stick together' letters)
I will put different SIM inside now and try everything again

Good call, that's about the only other thing to try. However....have you tried running WM with sense disabled, to see if it still has the freezing/rebooting issues? That might at least narrow the problem down to something sense-related (which is easily the most common cause of any software-related issue on this phone)

I have NOT tried that but I will. The problem is that I often can't get past bootloader logo...
I modified my post above so please read it (I mentioned Android crashing)
thanks for all your suggestions
I just tried different SIM card. Phone booted fine to WinMo, and froze as soon as I clicked on Messaging tab in sense.
I will try to disable Sense for now.
I disabled Sense, rebooted WinMo launched Android repeated operation of trying to get to speedtest. Site launched, but phone rebooted after a while.
I am getting to conclusion that some software including flash causes my phone to reboot and then I can't get it to boot again..
Right now my phone is stuck again on bootloader. I already tried rebooting twice.
What I noticed is that every time my phone freezes it gets a little warmer in the lower left corner
What hardware is located in that area?
I loaded the Nexus One port of Froyo on my HD2 and everything seems to work flawlessly. Sound, data transfer, bluetooth, wi-fi and everything else under the sun.
I do, however, have one major problem: The phone function does NOT work correctly.
Sometimes it works just fine, sometimes it doesn't. When it works, that's it. It will continue to function correctly for the life of the uptime. When it doesn't, same thing. The only thing you can do is reboot the phone and hope that it starts working correctly again.
What happens when it doesn't work? When you attempt to make a phone call, everything sounds really robotic and high/squeaky pitched. When I say high pitched, I'm talking alvin and the chipmunks after inhaling helium. After attempting to make a phone call when the problem occurs, the sound/vibration across the entire phone ceases to work until a reboot.
I have tried a plethora of different radios including 2.08, 2.10, 2.14, 2.15 and now I'm on 2.07. I originally started using android with EnergyROM loaded but now I'm on miri xtralight. Nothing I do seems to make a change to this behavior. Whether I use the stock Hastarin 8.2 kernel that comes with Froyo or upgrade to 8.5.1 makes no difference.
I have seen other people who have this problem but I haven;t seen a cause/solution.
There seem to be so many people out there using the HD2 with android with no errors. Would anyone have an idea what is causing this?
Just a quick shot. Did you try formatting your SD card with the SD formatter?

I formatted the SD card through my reader on windows 7 before reloading android.
BUMP!
I've noticed a pattern here. If the first phone call of a reboot is made over bluetooth, the phone will always work correctly.
Well this thing keep frustrating me for a while and now i`m not so sure what about it.
My HD2 hangs when i start any of GPS related software such as IGo 8.3, Amigo or Primo.
Sometimes it takes a half an hour without problem and sometime it`s just hang when i want to create a route.
Screen is just freeze and only way to get it back is to remove battery and put it back again. Sometimes he just reset by itself.
I`ve tried 6-7 diferent version of IGo.
Tried it on several version of Dutty and Energy roms.
i`ve tried with 2 SD cards and tried to format from the phone.
All this i`ve tried with radion 2.15.50.
if you have any suggestion please respond what to do.
one thing i didn`t tried yet is to start navi software from Android but for now i would like to run Win Mo and some igo version.
Regards
I have Duttys V18 and the same ROM as you have. And I have not experienced the problems you described. So either it is a GPS problem (hardware) or a specific iGo configuration problem.
Did you use the same sys.txt for every iGo version?
Can you use Google maps without a problem?
HI,
i`ve tried several different sys.txt version even i take Igo from my friend which is running Primo without problem on his HD2 but in my HD2 have same problems.
Sometime it runs for about 45 mins without problem and sometimes hangs for a 2-3 minutes.
GPS hardware is OK because i`ve test it with some gps utility which comes with NRG roms and it seems OK.
When i start Primo finding satellites lasts maybe 10 -20 seconds which is great.
Have you tried the software on the stock ROM? If it still freezes then you may have a hardware issue, perhaps heat related as navigation is quite an intensive task.
There is two more things to try but i`m close to admit that it`s mainboard failure problem
1. to flash stock rom and try it
2. to flash android nand and to try somekind of Igo navigation for android.
Guys, i have the same issue,my HD2 hangs when i am starting iGO, i changed my Memory card to 16GB class4 in case if theres a prob with memory card, and still the same, i flashed many NAND Roms and had the same result, don`t know how to recognize AGPS hardware fault, i am going nutts, it gets hot when hangs in the bottom section back side down to the battery, in the memory and SIM card section, what to do? do i have to install Win mo or just consult a hardware engineer?, please assist and advise.
No good news!

Hi out of the blue my HD2 has started crashing (then rebooting automatically) when I use the popup keyboard , all other functions seem fine, however if I want to send a message or use IE , the phone locks briefly and then reboots as soon as I hit a letter on the popup keyboard and ideas?
Such a thing never happened to me.
And I used WP7 for almost half a year - first the DFT release, then a "Chevron" enabled one, finally a "NoDo" version. Everything always nice.
But, maybe like many other problems I read about, the source is an "incompatible" SD card.
Or, for that matter, a bad flash?
I had the same problem it was due to a incompatible SD card i reflashed with later rom and worked fine after that never had the problem again
Reflash the rom
Sent from my Schubert using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
try syncing to zune and copying another few hundred MB of music too it
i have a similar problem, over a period of time my SD card filled up and eventually it started restarting, dumped a bunch of music on and it worked fine
its a bit of a guess but i believe that the card i have has portions of dodgy sectors, they are not faulty and will work but for whatever reason the OS has issues with them
now this might just be me, but its worth give it a go, it works for me!
I've used win7 with 3 diffrent sd card i didn't that problem
Thx for the replys guys , It seems to have fixed it self , I took the battery out and left it out for a while and then rebooted and it was fixed , not had it since
