Problems with my hd2 - Help Please

So basically, my hd2 is not running smooth at all. Every time i do a rom update and then restore my contacts/messages/settings it keeps getting frozen and unresponsive. So I have to restart the device, but I don't know why it should be restarted anyway, isn't is kind of super fast?!?! So, now, when I recently updated my ROM, the device is so damn slow, that even after typing my PIN it takes a minute to launch htc sense and everything. When I'm moving through the tabs it's so damn laggy i can't stand it. . Is anyone else experiencing this????

To be honest, and I'm no expert, it sounds like you have some serious phone problems, probably out of your control. Not to sound like a pessimist but given how everyone else seems to be ok with the HD2, could be either a major rom/radio problem or hardware failure??
I've updated my hd2 using the official rom from HTC and, apart from the occasional lag i get from WinMo, my device runs sweet as a a proverbial nut. Especially as I have run the tweaks suggested by the forums here.
Given that you have said that you've upgraded the ROM and it's made no difference, the only thing i could suggest is possibly send it back under warranty?
Obviously, I'd wait and see if someone with more know-how has a better explanation, i'm merely giving you my POV.
Hope you get this sorted ASAP. A properly working HD2 is a marvellous thing.
All the best

To the OP,
There could be so many causes for your problems. I would start as follows:
- Take your SD card out and see if the phone boots and is not laggy with the card out
- If this does not work take a look at the SMS threads on here and see if the solutions there help you
- If no joy then read the Hints @ Tips thread on here, if you have not already done so, and pickup on the cache move tips, using the task manager to close open files, etc
- I that fails look for the thread "HD2 Died - or did it" and implement the solutions in there
- If that does not help and you have been flashing a fair few roms then hop over to the MTTY thread in rom development and see if that helps.
Plenty to be getting on with.
Hope you get it sorted.

My power up to sense loaded time = 55 secs.
Any different?

thanks for this quick reply. I am using Energy Leo ROM, but I don't think this could be the problem, or is it? Because I have performed a hard-reset now and it's running quite smooth again.. But the question is for how long.
Two questions I have now:
-does it happen to anyone, when you try to wake up the phone, screen doesn't wake up, only the keys in the bottom start to glow? It happened to me from time to time
-does anyone else experience missed key taps? When I tap something from time to time it just doesn't get recognized so I have to "retap" it...

I have experienced question 1 and 2.. however not alot or not frequent.. I tend to think that this is just a computer and computers do crash depending on whats going on.. The missed screen taps only happens once or twice when its playing up. I do have a screen protector on though so whether the dust, oil or screen protector is causing that is a different story, but isnt a big problem for me to remove the screen protector to find out.

so, the latest problem.. my hd2 had been running for ~16 hours without any problem now, but in last 10 minutes i had to restart it twice, because the screen stopped responding after i wanted to type new sms in a conversation (first time) and after i had a pop-up message about new sms (second time). As said before, I'm using energy rom, latest issue (17.2.). Could the problem be, in fact connected with this rom or specifically with sms software?

using cooked roms you can generally expect a few lockups and restarts.
Also, the screen not powering up, just the hard keys backlight is an issue across the board, from custom roms to official roms. Some roms seem to do it, some don't, but one that doesn't do it to me might well do it to you.

It has been mentioned before that if you have a large number of texts stored, it will take a while for it to allow you to reply to a text. (It has to go through the database, check for the texts sent by the user, then arrange them alongside the ones sent to them by you, then put them in chronological order, then display them, this takes time)

but i would presume the device should be working anyway (but slower, of course) and not flashing the display and being "frozen" ?

The frozen issue with texts is all in the SMS thread I pointed you to earlier. Solutions to the phone freezing are in the HD2 Died thread, again as I pointed out earlier.
How many of these potential solutions have you tried? Tryy these things first then come back if they don't work rather than make assumptions about your ROM.

after 3 months i still have the issue with missed strokes.. even after the latest energy rom update :\
anyone?

My home screen keeps rebuilding!!!

This bs is pissing me off. i just started having this problem after flashing Cyanogen's latest rom. and this 1.7.0 recovery i changed my ROM back to superbad1.2.4 because its based on test 4 or 3 but not 7 lol but i still get this rebuild home screen everytime i push my home button...and fixes pleaase help

I assume you mean the home screen is having to reload into memory? If so, have you enabled compcache and/or enabled the "Launcher in memory" option? If not, both are located in Spare Parts.
Also, pardon the backseat moderating, but this isn't really a development thread, rather, a phone-specific general question. In this case, I assume, the phone in question would be a G1?

worked great. thanks alot.

[Q] Unique Nexus One power up issue

Hi Moderators,
Please feel to delete or move this thread, if you find it repetitive. Apologies for starting a new thread.
Hi All,
I have a unique issue with my Nexus one. Sometimes it fails to reboot and then does not start even pressing power button multiple times. Sometimes it starts but then screen does not come up after the display time expires. Whenever it is ON, power button works good, ALWAYS. When it goes into the weird state, I am not able to put it in recovery mode as well. Whenever, I am able to put it in recovery mode, power button ALWYAS works good. Also I have seen that sometimes, even after boot-up it is not able to detect the SD card even when battery is at around 30%.
I have tried all the methods I could find related to "Nexus One power issue" here on XDA as well as via Google search. Sometimes the "remove battery multiple times while plugged into AC" works but at times it also does not help either.
I visited the local HTC service station. The guy there showed me that the small strip of Litmus paper on battery and phone has turned reddish. For normal phone it should be white. This indicates that phone was in contact with something acidic in nature. I tried swapping batteries with my friends and colleagues, but no luck. I have replaced the power button strip of my phone which seems to be trouble some as per the discussions here.
I have tried CM7.x, RCADS, MM super hybrid, eVil's desire port and of course stock 2.3.x ROMs. All seem to have similar issue one or another time. I have also tried Amon_RA's 2.2.0 and 2.2.1. Somebody told me to try with CM6.1 which I will try now if I am able to boot it in recovery.
My warranty is long gone, BTW. Also I bought my phone from US and it is not possible for me to go there again in near future. This issue cropped up approximately 3/4 weeks back. I have default radio.
Having said that, does anybody know what could be the issue with my phone? Has anyone faced such an issue?

Hi Moderators,
Apologies for posting this thread in this sub-forum. I forgot that question threads should be in Q&A section. Having said that, if its not too much to ask, can you please move this thread to Nexus One's Q&A sub-forum?

Just update d firmware wit any of the ones which r available here...m pretty sure this ll solve yor issue as I think its related to software not hardware...

Firmware update lol seriously ...try updating your radio to the 5.08 or 5.12 then flashing a stock rom and go from there

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I somehow manage to put my Nexus one in recovery mode by pressing power + volume down buttons multiple times. Then flashed the radio 5.08 on it. I already have CM 7.x ROM.
With this combination, my phone is working good so far. The power down issue would have reoccured by now. So it looks like my issue is resolved. I will use it for 24 more hours and come back if I am able to hit the power down issue again.
Once again thanks for the suggestions. As usual, XDA rocks. Had been experiencing this since good old Windows Mobile + HTC Touch days :-D.

I tested my Nexus one for past approx ~36 hours. In this time, I was hit by the issue mentioned in this thread twice.
Out of those 2, 1 was probably caused due to a soft reboot as I was able to get some output from cat /proc/last_kmsg but could not save it for sharing. The other one did not had last_kmsg entry so I am not sure what caused the phone to go haywire. The battery charge was ~30% when I booted it next time.
Now, I am on CM 7.x stable + 5.08 radio + Amon_Ra' 2.0.0 recovery and I explicitly have wiped the cache and Dalvik-cache via recovery. Since then, phone seems to be working OK. I will keep this thread updated if I am again able to get into the "Not able to power-on with power button" issue.

Wolfbreak V6 bug(s)

Hi,
I have seen this bug mentioned a couple of times in the development section, but haven't seen any solution
I experienced it a couple of times already and the only way to "fix" the issue is to reinstall the ROM
After about a week of normal use, the circular battery gadget disappears and I am left with the battery percentage alone. After that, any reboot would erase my Google account settings from the phone, the lock screen would be gone and the home button would stop working
I did *not* touch with the settings (I saw Wolfbreak claiming that the bug is due to the user playing with that) andf I really don't want to install the ROm for the third time
Any idea would be appreciated
Cheers

Post in correct section

AOKP for ATT

I don't have enough posts to post in the thread... but I wanted to say its awesome, but the back light setting for the capacitive buttons is not working. Also camera still crashes if you refocus too quickly. Reboot is required to get it back.

And that's why you're not allowed to post yet. Both are known, it's being worked on (the camera is a CM9 issue, but Task may fix it first, and if you don't touch to focus while it's focusing, it won't freeze). The backlight problem has been reported so many times it's not funny, so before you get 10 posts I STRONGLY recommend you spend some time reading the forums, and learning how to search effectively (hint: use google search and use XDA as one of the search terms).
Then your first experience won't be the flame-tastic one it would be otherwise.

I'm in kinda the same boat as you although I've done quite a bit of snooping on the forums and in the thread and have not found any answers to my issues. Just to get the formalities out of the way, yes I did a full wipe, and I've wiped each time I've flashed an update to the ROM. These issues have been present on each iteration of the ROM thus far, and was not present on stock.
Issue #1 - Notification LED stops working correctly if device is sleeping, the color works fine and will blink on the correct times to start but after a few blinks it either will go solid or stop blinking period.
Issue #2 - While listening to Google Music or local music with the screen off notifications cause the volume of the music to drop but then not return to the level it was at previous to the notification until you hit the volume rocker.

I don't have time to read through the entire 150 pages of threads. I was aware that it had been a problem, but the latest build was just released right before I posted that. I did not see anyone discuss them since the new post. But thank you.
