Recently, my hd2 has been getting very, very hot and the battery is draining in a few hours.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is it going to be a case of replacing it?

Have a look at the processes. See if there are any abnormal processes that take up huge chunk of memory.
If problem still can't be identified, perform a hard reset. That should solve the problem.
Which radio are you using? Started experiencing something similar after upgrading to the 10.5 radio.

2.08.50.08.
Im going to re-flash, and see if that will help at all.
any abnormal heating means there'z enough current flowing to actually raise the temperature of the device, i cannot believe just allot of open apps are able to do that.
if hard reset doesn't solve, it's a clear case of waranty replacement
Maybe is due to storage card? Try removing your storage card or use another card.

Done.
I know for a fact my memory card has something wrong with it, it doesn't always work in the phone or my SLR.
But could it really cause heating?
I had the same symptoms that you mention: overheating, fast discharging of battery. The new memory card was to blame - I formatted it using the phone utility and voila!
try that and report if it helped...

Indeed, it worked
But now the phone is with Tmob being fixed... Backlight wont go off, at all lol
I'm having the same issue. My HD2 has all of suddent started heating up and the battery discharges quite quickly, from 100% to 15% in the space of 3 hours. I have tried a hard reset installing the ROM again (which I have done loads of times before) formatting my 8GB SD Card and also using the 2GB SD Card which came with it. Another thing which I have noticed is my Internet connection has dropped dramatically, I no long get push emails off my exchange server and send/receive of my IMAP email takes ages even on WiFi.
I have reported this to HTC already, I guess my next option is to report to Vodafone, good thing I still havent cancelled my insurance that came with the phone. Wonder if offered a replacement I would still opt for the same phone or go for one of the android HTC handsets, any suggestions?
This has happened to me, however Format FAT32 is a fix, but I chose to just scandisk the card. Found a couple errors, and I deleted the temp files and fired up Haret. All is good again.
Long story short some errors on the card happen and a quick scandisk/chkdsk should fix them and Android should be happy again.
You can perform this on your computer or with any storage card tools in Windows Mobile prior to launching Haret.
Hope this helps some people...
Just an idea, can we add a chkdsk command in android boot loader?
I have same issue before.
SODs are caused by sd card errors?
i didnt realize that.. is it really only errors on sd cards that are the cause of SODs? or are there other underlying factors affecting SODs such as mayb speed class of SD cards?
im using the class 2 8gb which came with my hd2 and my phone gets SODs despite having the same setup as many people who are using the same android build as others who do not have SODs and have used android back-to-back for days without falling back to Winmo..
I'm no expert or anything but I use the 16 gig SD card that came with my HD2 and I've formatted it, I've tried every trick I know with the sd card ad I still get SODs, I'm going to keep looking for a fix here. I'll post back if I find one. Let me know if any of you do.
thankx,
Kn0t
the android boot loader should already check all the mounts before mounting them.
i would say try a different winmo rom..
im using the miri cht one with 2.12 radio.
I think every time we boot android the card is automatically checked for errors! I have seen it in the test that scrolls while android is booting!

The problem is actually in the format of the SDCard (fat32) and the way files are organize when we transfer/save/backup files onto it. A scandisk plus a defragment will make a difference. I always do it when I transfer music files, take pics, make backups o just installed a new build. even the fsck finds non-contiguous files every time you boot android (pay close attention be4 the sound is loaded)
and you are right, the sdcard is checked for errors but not fixed. what the bootloader get "automatically fixed" is not the sdcard, but some files which might not be configured/located where they should. I recommend a scandisk and a defragment everytime you load a new build/change many files. u will notice the difference.
So which chdsk/defrag program do you recommend ?

Every Windows pc comes with its scandisk and defrag utility.
according to some peeps at computer forums
you should NOT defrag a thumb drive or sd card, because its a different tpe of memory than hard drive and may cause some sideffects.
cna someone confirm that?
I formatted my SD card. Upgraded my radio. I took everything off of MT SD card that was windows mobile. I just left music movies and android and I've been running android 19 + hours with zero problems nor sods.

it doesn't make any sense, this two thing isn't related at all. hard drive type and defrag. data just fragments, no matter hdd type, format. so you need to defrag it.

Thank you for this tip. I had installed Modern Combat: Sandstorm and put a good amount of music on my phone, and after that I was getting SOD's fairly frequently.. I'm attempting this trick now to see if it has any positive effect.
I don't know if this will help anyone but it works great for me. In addition to repairing errors when I formatted my 16 gig class 2 that came with the phone I set cluster size to 64 and its always ran fast since with no sod. I don't see that much of a storage loss. Barely using 5 out of 16 gigs on the card with almost 3 gigs of music loaded.

I also don't know if this will help anyone but I used to get the SOD to happen ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I would get lucky for a couple hours but then they would happen sometimes every TWO minutes. I have 3 different SD cards. One stock 16gb, one class 4 8gb. and a spare 16gb. I tried everything I found here from switching to a faster card. reformatting. Using a higher cluster size. Nothing worked. Then I tried switching radio's from 2.08 to 2.12. PROBLEM 100% fixed. I havent had a SOD in over two weeks. Ive read that the radio is NOT a fix for this problem but for some reason it fixed it for me.
HELP ! I have read dozens of posts on here about Wifi...
I have got the same problem.... My Ace I just flashed 2.3.3 Villain with Odin and when I try and connect to my Netgear router (HTC Wildfire S and San Fran) are fine...
All I get id obtaining IP address etc, then phone disconnects....
Screen times out after 1 min then SOD ! (Switches off)
Hold power for 10 secs phone is back on, still no wifi...

MY SOLUTION FOR SOD...
Hey all... I am new to this forum. I own a Galaxy Note GT N7000. I am using stock JB rom. I have been having SOD's since 3 months. Even wen i was on ICS. I have tried many custom roms, changed kernels, got my phone bricked n got a motherboard replacement under warranty. Guess what... SOD persisted. I was goin mad. I tried usin phone without external SD, overclocked my device to 500 Mhz.
And hell... SOD persisted. Have been through almost all forums regarding SODs.
What helped was... changing WIFI settings.
Go to... Settings... WiFi... Go to options menu.... click ADVANCED...
CHANGE... "KEEP WI-FI ON DURING SLEEP" option to "NEVER"
Bingo....
No SOD... since last 4 days.
Hope it helps. I know some ppl are havin SOD even without using WIFI.
But for those who r using WiFi, its worth giving a try.

nice revivial of a 2 year old thread
and this is the hd2 android q and a section not the galaxy note section
and it looks like your just a spammer
reported
I have 3 SD cards that I alternate between when trying the various Android builds. I noticed a pattern that the last couple of builds that had really poor battery life were both using my 4GB Class4 PNY microSD card. No matter what I did using that SD card the current draw was always really high. Using Current Widget with that card I could never get anything below 56ma. So I took the same build and recreated it on another card. Went from 56ma current draw on standby to 7ma with just a card change. Guess I'm not going to use that one any more. The stock 16gb that came with my Tmo US HD2 and a Sandisk 4gb class2 both seem fine.
maybe faster data transfer means more power consumption.
id assume.
or the card is defective

just use manufacturer format utility for that Class4 card, do a full format on your computer (not on the phone) and try again.
also, try to avoid file transfer operation onto SD card using phone-PC connection. try to use SD card reader for this.
The real reason isnt the sd card... your sd card works right. Just reboot your Android 3-6 times and every sd card will have 7ma try it out

Did the format utility thing. Never formatted it from a phone. I've also done the reboot thing 5-6 times and it just never drops down to 5-7ma like my other two cards.

Just tried to install oclf in Nero beta 2 and it kept coming up with error message: unable to due to device busy. I followed all of the steps that I was given to the letter.oes any one know what means or how to fix it? I have never run a lag fix before and am quickly starting to feel I was better off just leaving it alone. Any help is appreciated.
It might mean it's not compatible with the rom.
Not sure I've never used Nero.
It works I'm using it but I've never seen this error before

It means you have apps installed on your sd card. You will have to move them to main app storage first. I think it is:
menu...settings...applications...manage applications...on sd card.

Thanks so much for the kind replies. I ended up unmounting my external sd card and than mounting it again and for whatever reason it now works . Oclf is installed and appears to be running as the device is much faster than it has ever been..
Make sure battey is fully charge or 42%.

EDIT:
Had to disable oclf as things just went haywire.Phone just started lagging like it never had before. I should say just not loading and had a couple of black screens. I disabled the oclf and also the EXT2 etc. and things got back to normal. WOW just checked and had 82% battery left and did CWM back up and all of a sudden about 10 mintues later I had 12 % left!!!! I use Battery Pro and have never had a problem with it.I have no idea what is going on!!!! Any one else have this situation? Any ideas what could have caused it or what I can do to rectify it?
That was too bad experience for me. I noticed today that the apps I moved to sd card, wouldn't respond and they also disappeared from the programs list but they were listed in remove programs list. So, I went a step further and looked at the contents of my sd card just to discover that everything was lost and returned to factory default folder configuration. All my photos, music, etc. are gone. The card isn't dead but only erased. It still has some folders but I assume they are the default data folder that were created when the programs are accessed.
Now, I removed the battery today without shutting down first. Could that have caused the problem?
Any way to recover my data back?
You could try to recover them the the program "Recuva " its very good freeware. I'm pretty sure its windows only, best of luck.

I am currently running active file recovery and had no luck with quick scan. I am now running thorough scan but I don't think it will help.
nope, only folder structure discovered but empty. Too bad but it shouldn't be like that. Some corrupt files would be acceptable, but thw whole card????
As andy suggests I would try recuva anyway you've nothing too lose and it may work even where the other didn't.
Hmm, happened to me once on a crap sd card.. Had to reformat and suddenly the read/write speed drop drastically, around 150Kb/sec on class 4 card.. Luckily, i happened to keep my old class 2 sd, works like charm.. I think it had to do with the conditions of the sd card..
what did u do to yr card that made it happen that way?
like what the others said, try running it thru recuve to recover the files then run a scandisk on the card
As said, I removed the battery without shutdown or dismount. I believe that's what has caused the problem.

I don't think that's what caused the problem as i removed the battery a few times without shutting down and never faced this issue.
One time i got an error message and i could not access the files on the microsd. The solution was to run a checkdisk and fix any bad sectors.
I always backup my microsd at least once a week for a rainy day, i strongly suggest you do the same from now on.

+1, I have Titanium Backup, run a full backup (User apps + Data) every night and backup the card (using Simple backup on Ubunutu) as often as I remember then if i lose or damage my phone I can feasibly recover everything.
I was getting message from PC when I plugged my phone on USB from day 1. The message was that the card need to be scanned for errors and so I did that all the time. Last time I plugged my PC to cradle I got the same and the scan fixed some errors. If the battery removal didn't cause the problem then it should be that last scan. Maybe my card was faulty but not completely. It's the stock card.
Many users reported that their card died while they were using their DHD (most of them if not all got a Samsung microsd in bundle).
I use a SanDisk class 2 that i have for two years as it's more reliable and transfer speeds are higher than Samsung.

I know this but mine hasn't died. It has been doing this from the first day. It's working though. Can't tell for sure what has caused it to be erased but it was done in seconds.
Fortunately my photos were synced on the PC and so I recovered them from there.

oh this.
its likely caused due to when u mount yr sd card to yr pc and fail unmount it properly from the pc b4 disconnecting it.
Try photorec - if the data is physically still on the card, it will find it. No fancy interface but imo the best file recovery program out there
