JJ Freezes on Arrival of a new SMS

Now that the honeymoon period is over I have started noticing a few problems with the JJ. The most serious I noted is that when the JJ has gone through some use after its last soft reset it tends to freeze when a new text message arrives in the in-box. This does not happen when the JJ has been freshly soft reset and only when some time has passed since it was last soft reset. Since I have set the unit to vibrating alert on receipt of a new message the vibrator continuously starts operating and the phone freezes. To stop the vibrator you need to do a soft reset again.
Anybody had this problem??? I am planning to do a hard reset and see what happens.

Definitely related to some software that you have installed. I use sms everyday and havent faced any such problem.

Yes it does freezes your device when you receive new SMS, some time even I lost the SMS which was coming tru,..
Once I lost the MMS Account itself, then had to go for softreset and got it back again...

I've had the same thing happening. Very annoying. That's just Microsoft as we know it. We can't get out of the habbit of frequent softresets.

I did a complete ROM upgrade today and I replaced the Arabic ROM which came preinstalled on my JJ with the english version as available at the clubimate site. Without installing any 3rd party software I tested the SMS freezing problem and unfortunately it is very much there. This at least proves that no 3rd party software is to blame for this.
Now I am thinking that maybe I will have to dispose of the JJ as I so much depend on text messaging. The worst part is that as the JJ freezes on arrival of a new SMS the message itself is also lost and after doing the soft reset you can never tell from whom the message was.
I will really appreciate if anyone can help
Kind Regards

If you have an SD card inserted try removing it and see if the problem persist.

What i dont get is why this problem is unique to a very small percentage of devices. Many of use the device for SMS quite frequently and dont face this problem. I wonder what the triggering factor is.

I have this problem since I updated my ROM.

I posted this a few days back that the Jasjar tends to hang not all the time but most of the time when a new SMS arrives and in fact the SMS is also lost when you recover after a soft reset.
I thought that I will re-post this question because now more users would have had more experience with their Jasjars. For me this problem does not seem to go. I have tried even a hard reset and the problem keeps coming back even with no third party software installed.
I shall be obliged if anyone else who has had this problem may kindly post his views because this may put some pressure on the people at i-mate to come up with a fix. I fear that since this problem is being faced by a very small minority of JJ users a fix may never see the light of the day.
Kind Regards

I have a himalaya device with WM5 and have the exact same 'sms-lockup' problem.
Also, somethimes all the incoming calls are forwarded to my voicemail, even when my phone ison and the signal is strong and im not using my device. This can only be solved by a reset or after i made a call myself. Till that time no-one could call me!
The problems started when i installed another WM5-rom and a new radio-rom( 1.18 ). This was the first time a upgraded the radio-rom, so i think this could be the problem.
Im going to install the older radio-rom ver1.08 (recommanded in combi with WM5 by buzzdef.net). I hope this solves it!

I to have the same problem... Every time you open a new text message or even after sending message and when you get delivery report it freezes and you will have to reset.. but if you are in the middle of a call the phone still works fine but not able to use the PDA part because its freeze...

Have installed another, older, radio-rom( 1.08 ) and used it for almost a week... no freezes sofar!! I dont know if this rom can be used for a Universal device...

Just uncheck the "turn off device after..." option in battery settings and this problem will go away.
This was pointed out by user Khaled in another thread.

im also experiencing this after i upgraded to Second Edition. my Himalaya tends to freeze when receiving SMS. applications starts to slow down but will eventually recover after the SMS receipt notification, no need for softresets. i also noticed that currently, it would take about 10 seconds before SMS notification appears in the screen. im sure about this because i would know that an SMS is coming because my computer monitor, adjacent to my XDA, would flicker. so the turn-around time from the flickering of the monitor to the SMS notification would last around 10-12 seconds. is this normal?

I was so fed up with the SMS freezing problem that I sold my Jasjar, albeit at a much loss and exchanged it for a new one.
Just my bad luck the problem is also there on my 2nd Jasjar. It is exactly the same as the one I have sold. When I get a new SMS the unit freezes and has to be soft reset. Please note that this does not happen every time but say 1 in 10 times. Anyways this makes the whole system very unreliable. When your phone is in your pocket and an SMS causes it to freeze you will never know if now somebody tries to make an urgent call because your unit is not responding.
I have also tried the remedy / fix mentioned in this fourm to to Uncheck Turn Off Device but does not work.
My only hope is that this problem is fixed in the next ROM upgrade.
In the meantime I am evaluating prospects of leaving the WM platform altogether and going for a Nokia 9500

a friend just adviced me that it was my Radio version that is causing the problem. 1.18 has a lot of bugs including this freezing issue. so he suggested that i reflash my ROM and go back to Radio version 1.17. could somebody point me where the bug issues of 1.18 are listed here in the forum? thanks

SMS Automatically Sending?

Hey guys, i recently updated my rom to Farias WM6 - Crossbow one.
and this morning i tried to send an MMS which failed, changed the mms settings tried again.. failed..
and now if i put my sim-card back into the wizard my credit gets drained through text messages automatically being sent..
i can just leave my phone on the side and it will vibrate saying "message sent"
any ideas what is causing this?
do you think a reflash to another rom would fix this?
thank you, i really like the wizard, so much infact i bought a GPS reciever for it today.. and cant use it due to my memory card being busted (so cant install gps software) now the phantom thats sending texts..

If you are happy with the ROM, try hard re-setting . I was assume that would fix it. If not, then a new flash may be necessary. Let us know what happens!

i thing i learnt was that even without the sim in after resets etc it still happened.. i just reflashed t-mobile 2.26? cant remember, its the one reccomended..
and now it isnt happening i am going to try the xda one i think, and see if that happens again.. if it does i willl just stick to the t-mobile one i guess..
will keep you updated as i lost £3 credit due to this problem.. and i wouldnt wish it upon anyone else.

yeah I haven't seen anything like that happen to anyone else so my guess is that it was a bad flash. Flashing a new WM6 ROM should not re-produce the problem, hopefully. Good luck bro.

Well ive stuck to t-mobile 2.26, just added some programs, done some registry edits, moved icons around from programs -> settings or programs -> programs/tools etc.
added Tomtom 6, and its all working nicely.. no automatic SMS sending, got a few glitches to work out with things like the wireless today plugin not showing wifi, but yeah

Every call (incomming and outgoing) through speaker automatically

Hi ,
I've searched about every forum I could find, but m problem is:
I have the x1.
Installed the tweak, Spb Mobile shell, Fring, Slide2unlock
I have the newest rom update.
Every time I get a call OR when I make a call my sound automatically goes through the speaker. I don't want that.
I want to decide if and when the call is going through te speaker.
I disabled s2u but it did not help.
Am I missing something?
Please do help.

I did a hard reset today.
then afterwards I found the problem to be solved.
but afterwards some of my previous settings were gone
so I have restored to before.
I still have the same problem for which I now know is clearly a software issue.
Could it be caused by slide2unlock?
please help

i have slide 2 unlock and no issues for me.
so you can probably rule that one out. \i cant help you with anything else tho

Well I'd hard reset and slowly install programs and change settings until you find what is causing the problem.

think that is the only option left.
unfortunately I did that once
the basic setting were completel different than now.
maybe someone has an answer.. otherwise.. dang...

I called the xperia service number today.
It seems there is an update of the ROM availlable.
BUT NOT FOR T-mObile phones...
Anyways.
they also stated one option: hard reset.
damned...
I'll try that and back-it up after every bit of installed software.
Maybe the problem will show up...
hate it when these type of things happen.

HD2 randomly turns off and others problems

My HD2 randomly turns off when it wants to. Theres no set command or application that causes this. Usually it turns off when I make a call. The screen will show I am calling someone, and sometimes I will get away with making a successful call but now its getting much more frequent where I am thinking I am talking to someone and I dont even know that the phone has turned off. It usually happens more when I am making the call and less when I receive the call.
The phone also turns off because of the slightest of heat building up. Using Co-pilot for more than 20mins will cause the battery to heat up. But its not just Co-pilot that causes it, sometimes if its just being used for relief from boredom and and browsing through pics and emails, then it heats up a little and that will be enough for it to turn off.
Everytime this has happened, the HD2 resets, comes to the home screen(where the time and network is shown) and then resets again. This will repeat 3 to 4 times and then it either freezes on the white HTC screen with the red writing at the bottom, or it will just freeze on one of these screens that appear turn by turn to get to the home screen. In this case, what I have to do, I have to physically take the battery out and then turn it back on.
I've tried finding solutions in this forum and for some other problems that people have experienced (not the same as mine, but slightly different), experts have said to perform a hard reset whereby it brings the phone back to the factory settings and everything is wiped off the phone. I have tried backing everything up but it wont let me back up my contacts. Using ActiveSync it says, I must need outlook contacts configured but I dont understand. Can someone please tell me how to back up my contacts.
All of these problems are giving me constant problems daily when I am using my phone and is putting this amazing HD2 to shame.

I forgot to mention, I have:
OS version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
manila 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.48.405.2 (71924) WWE
ROM date: 11/18/09

no i havent had any reply yet.was hoping i would. i dont know how to bump this thread either.

similar problem here,
- on my unit resets and reset loops happen when battery temperature exceeds 31-32oC
(BattClock has option to display this info)
- hard reset / ROM re-flashing did not help
- someone on this forum suggested checking the battery connector pins on the unit - supposedly straitening them may help

Dont know how to bump but I am BUMPing it like this so one of the experienced techies will read this and pass on some of their precious technological knowledge and shed some light.

Im having the same problems as well..... to the point i longer use the phone and switched back to my iphone. Im still hanging on to it and hope that android can be ported.... but man what a shame it could have been the ultimate phone.

I just phoned HTC yesterrday and asked them what they could do to help. I was told to do a hard reset (shock shock horror horror!) and see if it does anything. So after backing everything up and doing a hard reset I think my heart wanted to believe that this would fix the issue and so I performed the hard reset. Unfortunately right after, I had to use the phone to go somewhere and so I thought Id try using the co-pilot but before reaching that, it turned off.
I have been using it today and I still have those problems, its turned off randomly whenever it wants to. I have got away with making a couple of calls but that was because most of them have been incoming calls.
Plz technicians help me out....
Im thinking of calling htc and telling them to fix it, they said they could book it in?

Not all pal , Im from the Philippines and the same thing is happening with my HD2. Right now, Im just charging it while the phone is off . I phoned HTC Philippines since it is still under warranty and they said, they will need to repair the phone since the problem was the main board as they said.(Once you experienced that the phone heats up even when not charging, they believe it needs repair).

Mine is currently in for a warranty repair for random reboots. Even when at night it was doing it. I'm on stock rom and have never used custom roms. Interesting that when I called support they asked if it had overheated. or if it did it more when overheating - so I think the two must be related as far as HTC are concerned.

Hi there,
I own a HTC HD2 for about 7 months now, using it A LOT. Flashing rom's like crazy and never had any problem.
Recently I've been on a holiday (Mexico, very humid), since then my HD2 is having issue's.
Keeps freezing, screen goes black and then in resets. Often I doesn't boot which means I have to pull out my battery to get it going again (sometimes I have to yank out the battery 3 or 4 times for it to boot again). And yes, of course I hardresetted, re-flashed etc for several times.
Seems a similair problem.
I also experienced that in some cases, my HD2 vibrate's 7 times in a row when trying to boot (like somekind of error message for the HTC technies). Can;t find anything about it on the web.
Any of you guys experienced this as well??

Well I had the same problem.
Got to the point when I had to go back and use my old HD
Took it back to the store and complained.
The guy from the store opened it up, straightened the pins on the battery and it works like new now

Oke, I tryed that also, but maybe they are not straight enough yet. I will look again I hope that's the problem

No sound on voice calls

As the title says, I have no sound from the earphone during voice call. Also, when trying to call somebody, it shows on their phone but they can't hear anything from me.
The problem appeared suddenly, without any intervention from me.
I've tried, without any luck, the following:
- battery pull (several times, to be exact);
- SIM change (also switching operators);
- nandroid backup + data wipe + restore;
- I was running the SAFE 1.37 ROM and had it rooted. I flashed to "not so safe" 1.37 ROM from shipped roms, still nothing.
EVERYTHING else works perfectly on the phone: SMS, mobile data, etc etc.
I'm quite desperate at the moment as I feel I've tried everything I know and I'm thinking it might be a hardware problem that will require me to go back to the seller with it.
Has anyone else experienced this and solved it? I've tried searching on google and here on the forums, couldn't find anything.
Thanks for all your help.

Well I did go with it to the service center.
Should take them no more than 15 days to tell me something...hope it doesn't take that long, though....
In the meantime, if anybody knows anything about this problem, please do post...
It may not help me but it may help others.

Got it back from the service centre today.
Apparently it was just a hardware problem : they've replaced the earphone.
Everything back to normal now, topic can be closed.
