Hey guys.. I love Android. I've ran so many different rom's and CM6 Nightly's n such on my Nexus One and I really love the phone. I love this HD2 also tho.
I've been using the HD2 with DarkStone FroYo for the last 10 Days or so. I must say I LOVE the HD2. It's a great phone, I love the screen and it's size, but hard buttons all being one piece of plastic was a bad move but thats about it.
Basically here's my issue. I have screen freezes that are a few seconds, or up to 10 allll day long. sometimes it will freeze and wont go into sleep mode for up to a minute (at least a few times a day) I lose my Data signal at least 10 times a day also. Sometimes it comes back, other times I need to Toggle Airplane on/off and my signal will come back.. Basically it's very smooth and awesome, then just craps. and this is extremely often and very random and it's starting to get very irritating. I wanna go back to my Nexus. I've also tried SkinnyEVO and had similar problems.. Are there any ROM's that are smoother and more stable, screen freezes and data drop-outs are really starting to irritate me knowing I wouldn't have these issues on my N1.
Should I wait for Nand to get going, should I try a few more ROM's. Is there fixes for these issues? Any info or suggestions would be great. I'd love to use this for a Daily phone, but in the current state it's a hard call.
Man Try MCCM 1.6 with updating kernel hastarin 8.5
it doesn't freeze at all.
everything work no bugs at all.
camera with zoom , face detection.
it is an awesome build
which radio u have and wim mobile u got ?
Darkstone has not updated his build for quite some time. Definitely try an updated build with latest kernels before giving up on the ole HD2. The touchscreen freeze has been eliminated with the newer kernels. I've been using the Motodroid build which has very good performance with the best working camera; no green tint, full 5 mp with working wide screen mode and shutter sound is selectable (which I have not found in any other build).
I don't know what MinMo build. I'll check, but I have the latest Kernel for the HD2. Kernel 2.15.50
I'll check what WinMo after work. Thanks for posts. I'll report back later
Do try a newer build, like the others said. I upgraded mine to hdone and replaced the kernels and i have yet to have my phone screen freeze. When i was using every other build with the old kernals, it froze all the time. Don't give up on your hd2 yet!
I think you have hit on 2 major issues the first screen freezes has been pretty much solved with the latest kernels with the g sensor fix. So try Hastarins 8.5 or mdeejays latest.
Second the data problems still exist but has been much improved with Letamas Ril Wrapper and other ppp tweaks ,see Letamas thread. if you try one of the newer roms they might have all above already in, so worth a try before going back to nexus.
I've been following Android on HD2 since August, and I've gone from all your problems and more to almost none (touch wood: my phone has begun to freeze today after three weeks of no problems - I'm hoping it's an installed app issue).
They are getting better and better and it's only battery life which remains an issue (for me).
Everyone's going to have different results depending on Radio/Location/Operator, but personally the MDeeJay Sense Revolutions (both types - Froyo and his other one), have worked very well for me, on Energy ROMS (currently the barebones one).
I can't promise Android on HD2 will always be flawless, but your two biggest gripes are certainly solvable on the right combination. (I hope!)
Change your SD card to a Class 6 and let us know.
Give up on the HD2, go back to the Nexus, send me your HD2
Scan my signature for my setup - I find it the best after changing at least 15 builds, 7 WinMo ROMs and 4 different radio combinations.
PS I am really stubborn guy, so that tells you that I've tried all possible combinations with above count of builds, roms, radios - and so far this one gives me what I want: HD2 with the Build that is smoothest and more stable than any Android phone I played around with so far... including nexus one
Thanks for all the information posted here guys. I appreciate it. I'll try mdeejay's latest and see how things go. (all of mdeejay's are Sense UI) I want stock Froyo
Another question. Can I copy everything from my Android Folder, to a New Android Folder for the new ROM I'm about to try, and have everything be exactly how it is now on DarkStone, or will that not work?

Titanium backup is your friend there. google for the wiki and read up on how to backup and restore.
Oh and if you don't like Sense, that's fine, just install whatever launcher you want, press the home button and it will ask you what launcher to use, tick the box for "use this by default" and sense won't come back to bug you. You can also remove the lockscreen slide by deleting the "HTCLockScreen.apk" via adb.
Just also to backup what others are saying, later builds like the one in my sig are far more reliable and useable, I get no data drops or any of the other problems you experience currently.
I know how titanium and all that works, thanks for trying to help though.
I just figured since everything is in the Android Folder, couldn't I copy it to another Android1 folder and boot to that build, and everything be there. but if not. It's ok. I'll just titanium backup everything instead.
I'm thinking about trying out BiffMod 1.2

You need to change you're SD card. I had gone through the same problem with A-Data class 4 sd card...but large waking times randomly spoiled the whole android experience....so much so that I gave up android...
But ever since I went back to replacement 16GB samsung SD card (which is ironically class 2) things have improved...and the phone wakes up instantly..
Also upgrade the kernel to hastarin v8.5.1 of ur build..it just solved all Data issues for me..maybe it will work for you too
I'm using the stock 16GB Class 2 Samsung that it came with. I have a 16GB Class 10 in my Nexus if we want to compare. but I'm not sure how large the SD class will really change things. Maybe a little.
I came to the HD2 from a Nexus.
I love my nexus... but wanted a larger screen.
Originally I had all the issues you commented... Id already sold my N1 so I really had to work on the HD2 working how I wanted it.
After flashing different roms, radio's, androids and kernels Ive finally landed where I am happy and in just the recent weeks with the tweaks the devs have done to their kernels my phone is rocketing and would never go back...
Only thing I do miss is the trackball and its colored notifications.
OP, you asked about overwriting your files, here's what I did...
I backed up my whole SD Card to my PC, so that I had my full working phone backed up just in case.
I then overwrite the contents of my old Android build with my new Android build, ignoring the data.img file.
Then re-booted, and Voila! EVERYTHING (apps, settings, wallpapers etc) came back, but my ROM was faster and smoother and upgraded.
This was switching from one ROM-maker to an entireley different one (both were Android 2.2 though).
If this had failed, I could have wiped my SD card, and made a choice between trying a fresh new Android, or using my SD Card back-up. If I'd had to go fresh, I'd know my Google Account would hold my contacts and purchased app settings. The AppBrain app is also useful in this regard.
Have fun!
im in a similar situation. i got me a secondhand nexus one, to try how android runs on a native device. i walked around with it for some days now, and i think im soon going back to my hd2, cause I CANT GET USED TO THE SMALL SCREEN ON THE NEXUS XD
really. not.
android on the hd2 runs almost as smooth as on the nexus one, i dont even cared in choosing the right build for my hd2, i just picked froyostone, and thats it xD
so yea, in the end, the only thing i really love on the nexus one is the awsome trackball, with its different colours :3 omg i want that on my hd2... ;(
i was having the freezing problem when i was using energy rom with the stock sd card when i flashed to the newest tmobile rom all of my freezing went away so if you have that problem try the newest tmobile rom it worked for me
When I first had CM 10.1 everything seemed to be working fine and dandy and then I started to update it straight from my device up to my current version 10.1.2.
Recently my nexus 4 seems to be less smooth, sometimes apps just randomly close and it will say, _____ app has closed, or something like that. Normally I'd fix it by either clearing all my recent apps or restarting my phone.
Also, the one thing that had me annoyed was that my emails never send out. They used to before, but now its stuck on the sending... when I check the status. I can receive mail though. I am using the gmail app.
I don't know so far these little things have been bugging me. What would be the problem here? I was even considering going back to stock but really like the custom navigation keys. I have my back button on the right inside of on the left and its much more comfortable for me that way. Is there anything else that will allow me to customize the navigation buttons?

Do us all a favor, and please, upgrade to CM10.2, or at least a 4.3 ROM.
I had recently had my phone flashed to the best carrier for the area im in ad noticed a few problems. im rooted with cm11 but sticking with the stock debloated rom. the carrier flash had actually cased some issues initially with the screen turning on and fully lighting up, but when i started flashing new roms that issue was fixed. I thought it had fixed all my issues, but as I found out yesterday, my call log is still completely null and void. it shows no calls in or out, and ive made plenty. but the bigger part is that I dont even know about a missed call until I get the voice mail notification. ive tried apps to record them but im guessing they work off whatever stock files control that and thy read nothing as well right now
has anyone had this problem or possibly know of a fix?
Me too!

I am also experiencing the exact same issue. Rooted Vzw g2 on page plus. I've searched phone for a log file that looks like it corresponds to the call logs but no love. It is a little obnoxious as I have no idea who calls me if I miss the call.
Have you found a solution?
me, too!
Any insight?
I've not found a thing that will help us, I've found others experiencing the problem, but no solution. I'm running a stock debloated rom and i think therein lies the problem. Something that was removed that was seen as bloatware is most likely what actually tracks the call log. I've been searching for a rooted bloated stock rom, but to no avail. I ran a few other roms and had a call log, but the roms overall sucked and i like the ui of the stock especially the camera app....I'll keep looking, but hopefully someone in the know sees this post and helps us out
I was flashing different stock roms and differet Gapps and whe it boots into the backup scree to set the phone up the number it was showing saying my sim was already set up wasnt actually my number. I dot know where or why the number was coming from. but alas, my call log worked ad on called id's it still showed up as the right number. so i began puttig all my stuff back on it and updating things and something i updated chaged that and now im back where I was without a call log.
i dont know what files i had flashed excatly, so now its just a guessing game and lots of flashing..
I am running through the same issue, no recent and missed call history, my messaging is fine. The G2 was rooted and flashed to PP. I am wondering if you have solved the problem, if so, could you please share your solution, very much appreciated.

same issue
I am having the same issue. I flashed to pageplus, rooted and installed xdabebbs rom. I dont see call history in my recent calls app. Please let me know of a solution
No solution yet, see someone say it could be because of flashing, so how you do the flash, yourself or someone help you.
Find out solution, simply reflash NAM only, i used DFS.
same problem here.
@gjbwj what for you mean reflash NAM?
Running VS982.5 ROM if it maters.
Pretty sure it was something I restored with TiBU that caused it. My wife's phone has the same ROM but I didn't restore anything but apps on her phone.
I would rather not have to start over for what should just be one file corrupted.
I'm running 4.4.4 on a Samsung Verizon S5 paired with a Moto 360 2nd Gen running 6.0.1.
My notifications seem to be very unreliable. The biggest pain is that I can't seem to find any pattern to what happening. Here's what might happen after any notification comes in:
Vibration on the watch, followed with NO notification showing on the watch display.
Vibration on the watch, followed by notification displayed as I would normally expect.
Vibration on the watch, followed by a displayed notification, but the display comes 4-6 seconds AFTER the vibration.
Vibration on the watch, followed by a display of the PREVIOUS notification, which then flips to the current notification after about 4-6 seconds.
As I said, it's really annoying because I just can't seem to pin down exactly what's causing the issue or any sort of pattern for when it works, when it sorta works, or when it fails totally. This happens with all notification types to varying degrees. GMail, Outlook, CloudMagic, Hangouts, SmartThings... to name the programs I regularly get notifications from.
The only non-standard thing I'm running on my watch would be WatchMaker Premium. I don't have any app launchers running on my watch.
I've tried uninstalling outlook (as someone in the Android Forums suggested). I've tried a factory reset on the watch. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling Android Wear on the phone. I've tried re-syncing apps... Just not having any luck figure out what's going on.
Anyone else experience anything like this? Anyone have any suggestions/thoughts?
100% the same for me on my sw3. Sad that 1.4/6.0 doesn't fix it.
I've sent feedback via the app. There's also a couple threads about it on the official forum.

I suppose it's comforting to know I'm not the only one experiencing this. What phone/os are you running?
I'm wondering if upgrading to a new version on my phone would help at all. An 'expert' in the official forum said it shouldn't make a difference, but at the same time it shouldn't be acting like it is, so I dunno.
Just really frustrating cause "glancable" notifications is one of the big pluses of a smartwatch and right now it just isn't working.
Another question: Which service are you using? I'm on Verizon. If you aren't that would eliminate service as an issue.
(Yes, I know that service shouldn't be an issue... but maybe whatever programs/radio/whatever Verizon pushes on the phone might somehow screw with things??)
FWIW, I flashed a new 5.0 rom last night. After lots of effort getting things back up and running (mostly), I'm getting proper notifications. Not sure why, but something in the process of flashing got things working again.

Same issues with my Verizon S5 and 360. How did you downgrade the moto 360 from 6.0 to 5.0? I saw the forum about it but it wasn't clear.
So i've tried pretty much every ROM out and wanted to post my findings with Call reception,data issues, APNs, etc and see if anyone else on Sprint has workarounds or advice on how to fix issues. On some ROMs i can get data but can't get calls/texts. On others i can get voice and data and hear people fine while on calls, but they tell me i'm breaking up constantly.
ROMs with voice and data, but poor voice delivery while on calls:
Resurrection Remix
AOKP
Turbo ROM
Temasek(i think...been awhile since i've flashed and can't remember)
Roms with data(sometimes) but cant make calls/texts:
PureNexus
DirtyUnicorn
ROMs with working data and good call quality:
AICP
Mokee
TruPureX(yes, i know it's not a custom ROM just putting it here because there are no issues with call reception or data on Sprint)
I believe if we were able to manually set APNs for some of these ROMs we could possibly correct this issue but for some reason the majority of ROMs i've flashed say "APN settings are not available for this user". Does anyone know a workaround for this issue? Please post other ROMs that i haven't commented on or other findings/workarounds
I know this is a long shot since this is an old post, but I was curious if you ever found anything on this? I had gone through a bunch of the ROMs mentioned and had the same experience. The only ROM I have had success with and has been almost flawless is Turbo. Yet I have the calling issue where everyone says I'm choppy and cut out so I am having to switch again. Everything else except TruePure I have had data issues with. LTE seems to drop and then I have nothing, it's almost like it can't hand off to 3g. Then I have no signal at all.
I'd go with the stock ROM, but that just has some horrible lag when operating. If I could pull whatever make Turbo work over to another ROM that would be great, but I've never set anything like that up.
Can it be a problem if you are using a XT1572 or XT1575? Maybe you need to be ROM specific when it comes to your device model.
This is the most annoying problem. At this point most roms I try have everything but 4g.
