Apologies if anyone has posted about this already. My XDA IIi has developed an interesting characteristic; it skips a second every now and then, resulting in it gaining about 2 seconds every 10! Does anyone know what is causing this?? is it a virus or buggy software??
regards
Chris Norman
The only way to check that is to run the phone without any additional software, if it still displays these problems then its a hardware issue.
Hi Cruncheeee,
Did you fix this problem? I've just got exactly the same thing. Everything is fine apart from the clock gaining rapidly. As you say every few seconds it jumps 2 seconds.
Cheers,
Mark

me too, just discover this problem.............**** !
Hope someone come up a solution..............Thanks in advance !
Has anyone hard reset to rectify this problem ?
I don't know how to fix the problem as such, but i noticed my XdaIIi slipped out of time every so often, so i got a free little program called SP TimeSync 2.2 that updates my time from one of the atomic clocks.
If your sat watching the clock, in the settings thing, sometimes the clock hangs, then skips to the time, making it appear that it has skipped time, where as it actually just stopped updating the screen for a second or two!
XDA Clock gaining
Hi, I never fixed it as such - just hard reset the device which stopped it. However, afterwards I wondered if it could have been caused by PocketZenPhone (I remembered I'd changed some PZP settings just prior to the problem). May be worth un-installing PZP (assuming you use it).
Cheers.
Update:
I tried the work arounds (SP TimeSync etc) and I got quite good at finding websites with the time on but eventually I gave up.
I never found out what was causing the error, but a new ROM release from O2 gave the push I needed to do a hard reset, load a new ROM and rebuld my XDA IIi
It was first major update and I haven't mastered all the things to backup, I kept my contacts and appointments OK through ActiveSync but lost almost everything else so I'm now adding back the apps I'd grown used to deleting the O2 junk they supply but.....
the clock is now telling the right time again!

I'm running Black 2.5 as my ROM, but it's happened on all ROM's, including the Cingular stock WM5 rom. The keyboard just stops working. It comes back sometimes on it's own a few minutes later, and always after a soft reset, but what causes it?
Does this happen to anyone else, and is it a hardware issue, or a software issue?
Does happen to me sometimes. Had one this morning. Not only k/b, but the scroll wheel as well.
Keyborad not responding
Hello,
Have same problem after flashing rom.
I thought that maybe I did it wrongly but also my friend discover this issue.
From time to time external keyboard not responding and on-screen keyboard is working but DEL key is also dead.
Also other buttons like green/red phone keys not respondig.
Sometimes problem disapper automaticaly sometimes I have to reset phone.
Any solution?
Has anyone found information on this problem? I have had my 8525 for about 6 months now and this has happened to me on the original shipped ROM as well as both Black 2.5 and 3.0.1.
It happens usually during texting, and like stated previously, sometimes it comes back on its own, and sometimes it takes a soft-reset to get it working again. I am able to finish the typing using the SIP before soft-resetting.
I haven't paid attention to whether or not the scroll wheel stops working or not. I'll keep an eye out for that. Also I can't figure out what's triggering this problem. It seems very random.
I would start to think it's a hardware problem since I have seen it on 3 different ROMs, but so many of us are experiencing the same issue.
Happens on my Vario 2 sometimes. I've put it down to me using the keyboard whilst the CPU is bogged down too much, and it just doesn't 'see' the interrupts coming from the keyboard I/O controller, and then it loses its sync.
I usually just soft reset at that point, because I can't be bothered to wait and see if it comes back
I have it sometimes when using IM and PIE. Closing PIE and waiting a couple of minutes usually brings it back.
The title says it all. This is a survey to gauge the magnitude of the problem among the early adopters of Touch HD.
Please cast your vote only after you have AT LEAST 1 WEEK of experience using the device.
Thanks and cheers.
Mine hangs quite often, when typing SMS very fast. Also it hangs constantly, when browsing in landscape mode with opera. Very, very annoying.

Tried hard reset? Tried reflashing the ROM? Tried getting a replacement?
Mine hangs often but I can live with it as it is my secondary device and I don't use it much.
Mine hangs occasionally but i found most of the times was "Active Sync" fault, simply close it and it stops hanging
So far, more than 50% of you are saying it never hang even once. This is amazing! I had never thought in my widest dream that it is so good.
I've mine since the 5th of November... so it's about 3 weeks today... and I’ve already forgotten where is the Soft Reset button...
I think that you should include in the poll, another option, something like the 2nd and 3rd options, but that it bothers us.
Since we paid a lot of money for HD and it does not work as it should, it is really annoying and it bothers us.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortuntely, posters are not able to make this change. Can our moderator help?
Never
I clicked 'never hangs'.
Strictly not true. Have found that if CorePlayer is open, and i try to manually switch off, it won't. Subsequent attempts also fail (even after closing CP), and the only fix is to press the power button a few seconds and turn off. (i guess this is one 'below' a soft-reset but dunno).
Also strange is that if it auto-shuts down with CP open, generally it turns off, but when turned on CorePlayer has no video, and must be closed and opened to fix.
i guess the 2 issues are related to Coreplayer's incomplete Qtv driver - and will be soon fixed.
Else has never hung (2 weeks use) which is brilliant compared to my last PDA (ipaq) - tho' it was often the fingerprint reader that hung. btw i would pay more for the HD with biometric security. i think this is needed, given the amount/type of data most people have on their devices it should nearly be illegal to make 'em without .
I've select never, however I've had a couple of application issues... 1 with network settings and the other with a 3rd party application which both caused application crashes.
How are you defining a hang? WinMo crash screen (application dies) or device becomes unusable and requires a soft reset? My phone has never crashed that bad I've never had to reset it.

Freezes. Not responding to user action, or so slow and unuseable that it requires a soft reset.
So far, one out of four are reporting that freezing occurs frequently, but more than 90% of us are not bothered by this. Any more vote?
Interesting poll!
But i have to mention, i'm absolutly sure the freezing problem is on every HD. It's just a question of the installed software, the running applications and their kind of use.
If i play the whole day SPB sudoku i have not to report any freezings and i'm lucky. But the HD turns me crazy while writing the whole day SMS with permanent freezes.
Just a joke!
surely all these freezing problems will be fixed once we get cooked roms?

On my Athena, the freezing problem largely disappeared with ROM updates from HTC, but the cooked ROM were far more stable.
So, I believe the same will happen here.
I've had mine for a week now and get regular freezes - mostly when using opera and particularly with opera in landscape mode. Also get freezes when typeing emails although these usually sort themselves out if I'm prepared to wait a while. Every now and again it seems like the wireless connection stops working (i.e. the progress bar for loading a page freezes and won't load any further although all the other apps seem to be ok) - soft reset seems to solve each time.
The most annoying problem for me though at the moment is that I have to close all applications before connecting to my laptop via usb or the running apps just crash as soon as it connects - again probably an activesync issue I guess.
I have never used a cooked rom before but you guys seem to swear by them so hopefully one will come out which sorts these issues - or maybe HTC will post an update.

Have you tried Netfront browser to see if that works better?
potential Freezing solution-worked for me
Don't laugh......this has worked for me. Go into Settings-systems-screen-clear type-uncheck enable clear type
I also have no aftermarket keyboard loaded-just using what came with device....no more freezing during SMS.
I cant get the auto name feature to dump into the SMS or email field when I type the name though

For those of you who became so frustrated with the freeze and voted the last option, could you all try out this solution and see if it work?
I decided to rename the thread because it seems many people have this problem, and people are posting solutions that worked for them ..
Im using Android build : Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution
If you get a network problem, try doing one of these :
Enable Airplane mode, wait for a while, then Disable it. [tgtoys]
Get a program that shows CPU usage, and try killing each program one by one to identify which program is causing your network to hang. [Gushfevah]
--> Gushfevah mentioned that STOCKS was causing a problem, try killing this first.
-------> Gushfevah suggested using System Panel Lite, try using that and comment if it fixed your problem !
Try a Hot Restart, fixed mine once.
I dont take credits for any of the solutions that worked, thank the people who replied down here that tried to help me fix my problem.

Hello all,
Im using this android build : Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution
Can someone please tell me how to fix my network connection problem ?
It was working fine yesterday but it suddently stopped working today ...
It shows 2G with a green arrow pointing downwards and a white one above it pointing upwards ...
I cant use the market, email or weather.
For example, weather says :
CONNECTION ERROR :
Sorry, but the connection dropped while your weather information was downloading
Please help !!!
This is a known problem. All builds using PPP data are experiencing drops, search through the threads.
To temporarily fix put your phone in airplane mode and then turn back to regular.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
i have problems with cellular signal too on the same version
although its a great build, i'm facing natwork drops and connection failiers, some off my calls are hunged during talk.
radio version 2.12.50.02_2
I changed to MDJ Froyo Revolution 1.5 yesterday (love the build BTW) and had this random problem. (white arrow up, green arrow stuck on down) My phone became verry laggy, Airplane mode didn't work to sort it out, and all i could do was restart the phone.
When it did it the 3rd time i used "System Panel Lite" to see what was running, and the CPU seemed stuck on 99%, i killed everything in the list, and straight away it was fine.
Next time it happened i once again opened up System Panel and killed apps one by one. The one that made everything ok was "Stocks" which automatically runs on start i presume.
I restarted again and waited to see if it did it again, sure enough after about 1/2 hour using various internet apps it locked up, so once again i killed the Stocks program and it ran fine again.
Thinking that quite obviously something was wrong with the Stocks application i went into the Sync settings and Stocks was not set to auto sync, but it had the white sync circle next to it as though it was trying to sync but hadn't completed.
Anyways, i manually synced it, and since then i've not had a single problem since last night.
I don't know if its a co-incidence, and i'm still trying my hardest to get the data to freeze, but it hasn't as yet after a good few hours using Internet related features.
Will keep you posted on this.
2.14.50.04 radio btw
@Gushfevah:
That's an interesting solution (sort off), I'm going to give that a go now!
Was pretty fine today ... Just a few hours ago, I lost the internet connection ..
Nothing is bringing it back again .. Im waiting for the internet signal to comeback so I can get System Panel Lite and check for a solution !
EDIT
When I check 4G in wireless and networks ... it says 4G failed ...
Is that the problem ?
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Can someone try this when they have a problem ?
Plug your phone into the charger, then do a hot reboot ... it solved my network issue ! well for now atleast ...
I will try doing this again if it stops and reply back here with the results !

I think system lite panel is a good way to see whats using up the CPU for network data .. probably jamming up the whole thing in the process.
When I got my few mins of network availability, I rushed to the market place to get it .. Well until now I dont have any problems after I killed some apps using panel lite ..
Im going to add the on the first topic
Not had chance to reply again till now.
I used to use the Hot Reboot as it was the only was i could re-establish the data connection, as airplane mode wouldn't work when it froze.
Once i found i had the System Panel and realised what it did i decided it was worth a shot.
Not had any Data Drops so far, but i've been using WiFi mostly since, and reconditioning the battery.
Gonna keep an eye on the system panel, and may buy the full version for the logging an reports to see whats hogging the CPU if it happens again once i switch back on the Data.

Hi all,
I've recently switched to Android Roms on my HD2 after years of playing around with WM on it (as well as older HTC phones). However, this is the first time I ever encounter this problem:
After I had installed my first Android ROM (NexusHD2 v2.3; later updated to v2.4) I have been having a very weird problem with my touchscreen.
After a few minutes of reboot and working on my HD2, the screen goes crazy. It becomes uncontrollable, it starts switching from one tab to another, it becomes unresponsive to my taps, it won't click where I tap (it taps somewhere else), also it starts opening apps by itself (tapping by itself).
What is weird is that after a few seconds of this craziness, the touchscreen returns to normal functioning.
I searched for this problem online but couldn't get anything. I tried another ROM (Hyperdroid v9) but then after a few minutes of the flash, the same crazy behavior started.
This problem is really starting to make me hate my phone. Typing on the keyboard is the worst; and forget about browsing (clicks links randomly) or even gameplay.
I really hope someone could help me out. I hope this ends up to be a software issue. However if you think this is definitely a hardware one, do you have any suggestions on how I could fix it?
(I live in Lebanon, and in my country sending the phone for service is out of the question)
Sorry for the long text but I'm really getting desperate over this thing..
Best,
I'm going to switch back to WM6.5 in order to check whether this is an issue from Android or—hopefully not—a hardware one.
