[Q] Two issues - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hello everyone!
I encountered two problems with my HD2 having installed Gingerbread 2.3.7 Nexus-HD. The first one; sometimes, I don't know sure why, and what causes this, but when I lock the phone and I try to unlock it( immediately, I didn't try to wait for longer) it doesn't unlock, but the display turns from dark(as locked) to a little bit grey, as if it would work, but I cannot see what I am doing.
The second one, sometimes, I think after I run a game, or something that requires more power and I press the HOME button, when I try to enter the Menu, it flashes continously.( as if it would change rapidly from Menu, to Home screen)
Where these problems might come from and what can I do in order to fix them ?

Really sounds like a hardware issue, try pressing the buttons hard and releasing a few times.
Did any liquid get on the phone ?

Had alot of this issue on slow dying sdcard. My experience is your card have some problems. Try to check your card windows pc, start CMD and type- chkdsk (drive letter of sd card): /x /f or try to format your card with sdformatter pc freeware.
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium

You can try flashing the rom again. Before doing it, remeber to format your sd card. Try other roms too. If the problem persists in evry rom, then try a different sd card. after this the only problem will be your hardware.
Give a thanks if you found this Helpful

I don't think it is a hardware problem, beacause it worked all fine a few days ago, and the phone didn't took any damage in this time. I have this HD2 from a friend and when he gave it to me, I wanted to reinstall the ROM,bacause I wanted not to appear anymore his google account. I am a beginner in HTC and I installed this ROM following a tutorial, but I am not sure I did eveything all right. I wonder how I could erase everything and install a good,stable ROM from scratch, but I need an exact tutorial for this.
Meanwhile, those problem solved by themselves, but now I get the same freezing screen when I try to call or someone calls me. I can hear them, but it just freezes and I cannot do anything, unless I remove the battery. It doesn't happen all the time, but very often...
LE: Right now I'm trying another ROM, I installed a version of CWM of 150 mb( as requested by this ROM) and wiped everything and now it is installing hyperdroid CM7 v5.5.2.
I have to say that with the previous ROM I tried to remove the SD and the same error, so I thought that changing it may be a solution.

big problems

I have the phone for almost an year without having any problems at all.
Approximately 1 month ago i installed a theme (from this forum) and it worked perfectly untill i decided to change it with another one (also taken from the this forum).After the restart the main screen froze and the touch flo was not active.I could only scroll the menu and acces it.
Also, i could't change the wallpaper.
After this, i tried a hard reset and apparently everything came back to normal EXCEPT: the internet connection didn't work at all no matter the settings i've made and from time to time a "dont send" error popped up. The error was : AudioManager_eng.exe.
After this, i updated my rom (from the htc official website) and had another hard reset and still NOTHING.
In fact i noticed other errors as well.When i tried to acces the mussic tab - audioManager_eng.exe error appeared, when i open wm another wm error appeared.
PS: i also had the storage card formated hopping to solve the audiomanager_eng.exe error (no result)
What should i do now? I feel like i tried everything ...
PS2: i am sorry for the possible mistakes
english is not my mother tongue. Also please try explainig a sollution in simple terms so i can understand step by step what i am supposed to do
thanks
please help....
Have you tried a hard reset to restore everything to default? Or removing theme which started all problems? When you flashed a new rom you may have added more problems, especially if you didn't follow this guide. Depending on what rom you flashed your SPL may not match causing incompatibilities. Does the screen look distorted when you start/boot up phone? Does this discolourization go away when you press power on/off? If so you have a mismatching SPL. Read and follow the dummies guide to see if this fixes some of your issues.
I didnt flash the rom.I had an upgrade .This one: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
And YES, i also had not one hard reset but 4 or so.Can that harm the phone?

Suddenly experiencing the weirdest problem.

Hi guys
I'm a NRG rom user, com5 build and suddenly I'm experiencing the wierdest problem, which I can't solve by myself. Let me explain what happened.
I flashed the latest rom but also went back a couple of versions. I always flash with the flash util which has the task29 feature build in. What happens is that when I flash a rom, all goes well, the complete process including the XDA_UC auto install process. After that everything is okay and everything works. But when I restart the phone all processes are starting to fail loading. Strange thing is that when I remove the storage card and reboot the phone everything is back to normal again. But as soon as I boot the phone with the storage card in everythings fails. I even had white screens of death when booting with a storage card mounted. I also tried dutty's latest rom and mirri's latest, all have the same problem. This problem appeared all of a sudden, all the cabs etc worked like a charm before, so the problem doesn't lie in the cabs or the files autoinstalled during the xda_uc.
A weird solution to this problem is to flash the latest dutch official stock 1.66 rom which is available for the hd2. With that one everything works, also after a reboot. So I can't use a custom rom anymore. Could this be due to a hardware problem? And if so, how can I explain this to HTC if I want to try to send it to them for repair?
Ow and of course I tried it with several other microsd card, all having the same error, so it's not a sd card issue.
I would relock and the re-unlock your hspl and see what happens. That is indeed a weird problem (that you can't send your phone in for).
Good luck

sounds like a defective phone!!!!
Yeah, that was my idea too. I tried relocking and reunlocking it with HSPL, but that doesn't matter.
But the problem is, how do I explain this to HTC if I want to send the phone to them for repair? I can't tell them that the problem only occurs when I install a custom made rom.
Pfff okay, I found the solution. It wasn't a hardwareproblem after all. I went through a terribly long trial and error procedure but finally pinned the problem down to only one cabfile, named HD2MemTweak found in the registry tips and tricks section of the general forum of the HD2.
I'd installed the lastest official 3.14 rom and installed all the cabs I was used to. But noticed, after several reinstalls, that when I installed that specific cab and rebooted the phone, everything went wrong. So I installed it without that cabfile and allw as working fine again. Then reinstalled HSPLv3 and installed the latest NRG Cookie Classic rom, which works fine again.
So that was the problem indeed. But one thing is strange of course, is that the mentioned cabfile used to work and suddenly stopped working. Could this maybe have something to do with the fact that the latest roms were build on the new 3.14 official rom? Who knows.....

[FIXED] black screen on hboot/recovery and camera issue (FIXED)

During an update, (PASSIMG.zip) in hboot I selected yes (to install) then about a second later, my screen
turned black and now, the only thing I can do is to boot in the installed stock rom (FRG33).
My english is not perfect, i'm sorry for that.
1. I Removed my battery after a while. (about 10 minutes)
2. Inserted the battery back in his place
3. Power down + vol down and I'm stock, I can navigate in
the menu but I can't see anything...
Anyone know how I can get my screen back ? OLED vs SLCD ?
Note: I can boot in my rom, the rom is unrooted, my phone is unlocked.
(And yes, I tried to flash recovery and another rom without success. And I can't
find a way to flash hboot again (bad signature)
I'm using the last version of hboot and radio.
If anyone have an idea of how I can fix this, this will be really appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm starting to think than my /dev/mtd/mtd0 is screwed up.
Anyone know where I can get/or generate a image of a normal mtd0 ?
At the moment I'm running debian sid dand SuperOneClick seem to freeze
after trying to chmod rageagainstthecage or psneu..
Note: Yes my screen work when the boot is completed. (but not in hboot/recovery)
bad spl ?

Ok, sorry for the noise, I was able to perform an update via 766a101ae02c.signed-passion-ota-60505.766a101a.zip (renamed to update.zip) and I powered off my phone.
Removed the battery to be sure there is no power at all.
and using some screenshot found on the web.
I was able to perform the update (blindly, this word exist ?) and the phone rebooted
and asked me if I want to update again (google update) I selected yes, the phone rebooted
and, VOILA, I can see again the crappy X logo with an open lock at the bottom.
Thanks again (ok for nothing, but if than can help some people...)
Yes, shame on my english again.
fblodroid
My guess is that you have an SLCD Nexus One, and the passimg installed the .33 HBOOT which doesn't work for them.
I had the same problem when flashing the MIUI-AU rom, screen went black,removed battery and replaced but the phone was dead,I was already thinking which phone to buy then when I connected the N1 to my laptop miraculously the X logo appeared and the rom launched ok
At the moment my phone is working again but I'm still having a camera issue.
About a 1 1/2 month ago I experienced this problem, no flash, no camera, just
a black screen when I try to run anything than use the camera.
Then a day, I was walking on the street and I checked to see if the flashlight was
working and obscured magic occured, the flash was working again but not the camera,
I wiped my phone again, repartitionned my SD card and installed a new rom and the
camera was back to normal.
Now, about a month later, (the problem started yesterday) i'm having the same issue.
I'm persuaded than this problem is related to a firmware problem, something related to
my /dev/mtd/mtd0 (hboot, perpaps ?) I don't know exactly where the camera firmware
is writed in the phone memory (nand)
I wiped and flashed again and again a lot of rom last night and today and the problem
still exist.
No camera/flash at all.
I'm thinking about returning the phone for warranty issue but like I said before, the
phone is unlocked... perpaps I will try to black the screen again and send the phone for
warranty... this way they cannot see (without fastboot) if the phone is locked or not.
If anyone have an idea of what I can do... a rom to recommend ?
Today I tryed to revert hboot without success...
EDIT: At the moment I'm running a rooted rom based on FRG83G.
fblodroid...
Related to my camera/flash problem:
Hum, I think I found the problem, this is hardware related, something seem to be
badly connected in the phone, I tryed too apply some force on the right border of the
phone with the flashlight ON (I previously looked on the web to see where the "contacts/plugs"
are located on the pcb (teardown pictures) and after applying some pressure, the light came ON
and now I can open and stop the "flashlight" mode.
teardown on the way ? I'm thinking about it... but i'll try to flash another rom again to see
if my camera is back.. (like in the past)
EDIT: No camera for the moment and the flashlight app light on the LED only if I select
the option "High Brightnes", ON/OFF are working with this option selected.

FIXED
After a complete teardown of my phone, and a lots of cigarettes..
I found two cables not correctly connected to her pin.
I made a picture, hum, an ugly picture of which cables.
http://img121.imageshack.us/i/icedqlubgg4zzbv2huge.jpg/ (in the red circles, the two pink dots)
And yep, now my camera/flash are working perfectly.
NOTE: the phone is not easily to dismantle, this is at your risk and peril. (time: about ~25 min)
Thanks again and please, ignore my english. I'm thinking about starting a thread
related to this problem. Should I ?

Hi, I have a HTC Desire GSM PVT4 (HTC__203), with the exact same issue as what is described in the original post. When I boot in hboot or recovery the screen is completely black. When I boot in the normal rom the screen works fine. I reflashed a number of RUU's successfully, but the problem remains.
The misc partition is not part of the RUU images, and I did re-flash the misc partition in an attempt to downgrade. Any idea where I can get an image for the misc partition for my device, or where I can generate one?
Thanks,
Hans

Hey. I have the same issue you had with the camera, black screen and forced to close when running it. My flashlight works perfectly thoug.
I tried wiping and reflashing diferent ROMs, stock and Cyanogen with no luck. I also followed your lead and disassembled the phone to check all the connectors but the problem persists.
Any idea for me to try? Thanks for your posts anyway.

Did you managed to fix it ? Be sure to check all the plugs, at best unplug everythings
and disassemble the phone entirely.
Mine is still working perfectly after two years.

Gingerbread 2.3 problems.

Hi
Sorry if this has been cleared up in another thread, but I cannot find the answer to this problem.
I am running Gingerbread 2.3 (Cynogen) on my phone via the file manager method. Everything was fine until one day after I booted back into Android after a normal soft reset - The keyboard would keep hitting "Q" no matter what I pressed. I could not open The browser as I would get an error message.
I thought maybe it was the extended battery I was using, so I reformatted my sd card, re booted gingerbread and everything was back to normal.
Then last week it happened again. I dont remember installing anything new. It is also not the build Im sure, because this did happen a while ago on another Cynogen mod I used.
I am pulling my hair out wondering what to do. There is no point in reinstalling it because it will happen at a seemingly random time again.
Does anyone have any clue or suggestions on how to fix this??
Thanks

Maybe it's a bug in the ROM
Try different rom and see if this problem still persists, if yes, maybe a hardware problem related issue
Cheers
There are a few roms with 100% support for the official extended batteries(s). Your best bet is to go with one of them.

[Q] HD2 Freeze on data connection

Hi! I tried some Android Nand Roms on my HD2 and always got the same problem. Always I turn on my mobile data connection the phone freezes completely and I've got to pull out the battery. On Wifi everything works fine but I really have no idea what's the problem.
Ive installed HSPL 2.08 SPL 2.08 and the newest Radio version.
Can someone help me please? I allready searched the inet for infos but couldn't find anything.
What ROM are you trying? One thing is to make sure you are using the correct partition size, this is known to cause a lot of problems. For instance, if you're trying a Sense rom, you're going to need a larger partition for the build.
MIUI
I'm using the MIUI FutureShocks Rom Version 1.4.29 German
Android Version 2.3.3
Kernel 2.6.32.15_r9-gd0fb339tytung
I have no Sense and the partition size is 1024 MB
I'm assuming you're flashing with CWM?
CWM
Yes with CWM!
When you installed CWM which partition did you install... for instance, a common one is 150mb.... You may have flashed a CWM with too small of a partition for the MIUI build...
I gonna check this right now thanks for your help!
So... I tried to flash with a different partition size but it doesn't help anything.Still freezes after some seconds surfing with mobile data internet. On Wifi works great.

Did you found a solution? I'm having exactly the same problem, everytime I switch on the data the phone just hangs and freezes..
Thanks in advance
Me = this problem too, and as i been repeating for months:
1: Don't listen to muppets that say "do a task 29" - coz they think task 29 cures cancer!!!!!
2: Do a search just on XDA HD2 section and you will find literally HUNDREDS of people with this problem.
3: Do a google search for Android data freeze and you will literally find tens of thousands of people with this problem.
4: It will NEVER EVER be solved on the HD2....hence why, when i get some cash, i'm going to throw my phone against the wall and film a youtube video of me doing it....then buy something decent.
PS: task29 does not CURE THE WORLD OF EVERYTHING!!!!
Matt
Well, at least It's not only me, I'm complaining for awhile, never happened to me using direct SD builds, it usually happens when I port a nand build to SD, for now only happening with nand builds, what radio do you have?
Thanks for reply mate..

Sorry for digging the old post, but I think my experience may help
I've met the same problem recently, but let's start from the beginning, and the situation below is sorted by time:
Camcorder white screen
taking pictures freeze
when charging, navigation app freeze easily
play jewel star more than 30 mins freeze
Turn on data connection, can not last than 1 mins, freeze
After freeze, pull out batt and back on, Magldr freeze on "Go GO GO" sometimes
When entering System, freeze
The problem is getting worse, and I almost give up my HD2. I've done every softeware solution , but can not get any good result. So, I put my HD2 to the ShenZhen(China) mobile repair technician, and got the Qualcomm 8250 CPU replaced. Then, re-install my energy rom, and all problems are gone, like a whole new phone, without any freeze.
My phone is TMOUS, and the production date is 2010/JUN. I've dropped my phone on the ground for once or twice, which the technician think the main reason for CPU broken. No matter what, my HD2 is rebirth now.
