So basically, my hd2 is not running smooth at all. Every time i do a rom update and then restore my contacts/messages/settings it keeps getting frozen and unresponsive. So I have to restart the device, but I don't know why it should be restarted anyway, isn't is kind of super fast?!?! So, now, when I recently updated my ROM, the device is so damn slow, that even after typing my PIN it takes a minute to launch htc sense and everything. When I'm moving through the tabs it's so damn laggy i can't stand it. . Is anyone else experiencing this????
To be honest, and I'm no expert, it sounds like you have some serious phone problems, probably out of your control. Not to sound like a pessimist but given how everyone else seems to be ok with the HD2, could be either a major rom/radio problem or hardware failure??
I've updated my hd2 using the official rom from HTC and, apart from the occasional lag i get from WinMo, my device runs sweet as a a proverbial nut. Especially as I have run the tweaks suggested by the forums here.
Given that you have said that you've upgraded the ROM and it's made no difference, the only thing i could suggest is possibly send it back under warranty?
Obviously, I'd wait and see if someone with more know-how has a better explanation, i'm merely giving you my POV.
Hope you get this sorted ASAP. A properly working HD2 is a marvellous thing.
All the best
To the OP,
There could be so many causes for your problems. I would start as follows:
- Take your SD card out and see if the phone boots and is not laggy with the card out
- If this does not work take a look at the SMS threads on here and see if the solutions there help you
- If no joy then read the Hints @ Tips thread on here, if you have not already done so, and pickup on the cache move tips, using the task manager to close open files, etc
- I that fails look for the thread "HD2 Died - or did it" and implement the solutions in there
- If that does not help and you have been flashing a fair few roms then hop over to the MTTY thread in rom development and see if that helps.
Plenty to be getting on with.
Hope you get it sorted.

My power up to sense loaded time = 55 secs.
Any different?
thanks for this quick reply. I am using Energy Leo ROM, but I don't think this could be the problem, or is it? Because I have performed a hard-reset now and it's running quite smooth again.. But the question is for how long.
Two questions I have now:
-does it happen to anyone, when you try to wake up the phone, screen doesn't wake up, only the keys in the bottom start to glow? It happened to me from time to time
-does anyone else experience missed key taps? When I tap something from time to time it just doesn't get recognized so I have to "retap" it...

I have experienced question 1 and 2.. however not alot or not frequent.. I tend to think that this is just a computer and computers do crash depending on whats going on.. The missed screen taps only happens once or twice when its playing up. I do have a screen protector on though so whether the dust, oil or screen protector is causing that is a different story, but isnt a big problem for me to remove the screen protector to find out.
so, the latest problem.. my hd2 had been running for ~16 hours without any problem now, but in last 10 minutes i had to restart it twice, because the screen stopped responding after i wanted to type new sms in a conversation (first time) and after i had a pop-up message about new sms (second time). As said before, I'm using energy rom, latest issue (17.2.). Could the problem be, in fact connected with this rom or specifically with sms software?
using cooked roms you can generally expect a few lockups and restarts.
Also, the screen not powering up, just the hard keys backlight is an issue across the board, from custom roms to official roms. Some roms seem to do it, some don't, but one that doesn't do it to me might well do it to you.

It has been mentioned before that if you have a large number of texts stored, it will take a while for it to allow you to reply to a text. (It has to go through the database, check for the texts sent by the user, then arrange them alongside the ones sent to them by you, then put them in chronological order, then display them, this takes time)
but i would presume the device should be working anyway (but slower, of course) and not flashing the display and being "frozen" ?
The frozen issue with texts is all in the SMS thread I pointed you to earlier. Solutions to the phone freezing are in the HD2 Died thread, again as I pointed out earlier.
How many of these potential solutions have you tried? Tryy these things first then come back if they don't work rather than make assumptions about your ROM.

after 3 months i still have the issue with missed strokes.. even after the latest energy rom update :\
anyone?
I am not sure if this has to do with using Android or not, but sometimes my HD2 decides to reboot itself unexpectedly, on WM as well as on Android and I can't really find what's causing it.
But what happens is, after switching itself off, it switches itself on again and hangs on the HTC logo, sometimes with or without the following info:
R 2.10.50.28_2
G 15.40.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
I am using stock ROM that came with it, i assumed it will be stable by itself but it reboots itself randomly sometimes just like on Android.
Does it have to do with the Radio version (i changed it from 2.07.xx). I tried 2.12.xx before and had same problems.
I should note that the only way for it to run again is to remove the battery for a while and then put it back. If i remove it and put it back briefly it will still hang.
Anyone is familiar with this strange behavior?
Thanks
ME too
I have the EXACT same problem. It only started for me after using android. now whenever i run Android it will unexpectedly reboot and sometimes hang like yours. It also does it in WM though not as often. I was able to notice it might have something to do with data connections bc if i run android but only use wifi it seems to be fine. I tried changing Radios WM ROMs and Android builds i even hardspled my phone again but nothing solved it. The problem needs to be talked about more. it got so bad for me I bought a Desire and gave up on my HD2 for the moment. Keep this thread up.
sounds like i have to follow
I hope not!
I notice if i do heavy download on wm or android i get it. But it could be that the phone is too hot? But it's not alarmingly hot tbh.
I hope more people can shed light on this.
Thanks for your input.
Yeah this is what seems to happen to me too, i start a downlogsd it gets a bit warm then freezes or reboots and gets stuck. However it doesnt even have to be a large download for me, a simple cab file or youtube video sometimes. And as far as heat, this never used to be a problem and i know for a fact my phone used to heat up way more before without a problem.
Maybe the qualcomm chipset go in "safe mode"..i remember that for first start tickle the orange led and after the device freeze or restart..maybe your device overheat. Try to touch cover's device or install a battery status monitor software. If you have changed radio, return on the original status. In case the restart happen always, make a backup using Pimbackup, and do an Hard Reset. For first try to use the telephone without the memory card and test the stabilty. If is all ok, you have to provide to format your SD card in Fat32. Try also to change the HSPL with the original SPL.

Forums Restored from Backups - LOST DATA - PLEASE READ
As many of you may have heard, we underwent routine maintenance on our Database Server. Upon rebooting the Database Server, it refused to boot and all indications are that the RAID 10 (what is RAID? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID) array failed.
We have restored the Forums from a 24 hour old backup. We know this is not ideal, but at this point, the chances of recovering the failed array are slim.
We sincerely apologize for this. In fact, this maintenance was intended to boost the redundancy of our database setup and lightening strike.

Thabks. Back to the subject, today i tried downloading on wifi a 150mb file on android and it rebooted byitself.
Then i tried to play a wmv video file on WM stock ROM and after 6 min it rebooted.
So its starting to look more and more like cpu/heat problem, anyone having these issues?
So does anyone think this might have something to do with all the overclocking in those android builds we've been using?
After 45 mins of install HD2 still hanging?
Hi, I just installed FroyoSense by darkstone
Release date: 07.AUG.2010
I don't know if this is the latest (probably not) but after 45 minutes of install the screen has in the top left hand corner tiny small text (excuse my lack of knowledge here) but no scrolling text as I expected, its now like 50 minutes, how long should it take?
Any help please would be appreciated, thanks

New to the HD2
So, I just bought a used HD2 a week ago. It was having similar problems in WM. I took it to a local store, and they said that is just how WM phones are. I've flashed HSPL and different radios and ROMs, installed Android, but still have trouble with freezing and rebooting on it's own no matter what I do. IT happens the same in WM or Android. Is there any way to find out if these might be due to hardware problems caused by the previous owner?
I got the same problem, when I do a lot of things on the same time on the HD2 it hangs or reboot. During de restart of the phone it hangs on the White screen with HTC on it. I have te take the battery out of it en than reboot again.
When I listen music and Internet the same time it almost always happends.
It happends on WM but also on Android, I tryed different ROM's and Radio Version's but nothing worked. Also tryed to work without SD-card, but still the same problem.
So I have no idea how to solve the problem...
I hope someone now's how to solve it...
Sorry for my bad English but I hope it's clear

Ok having waited for 2 hrs, I shutdown and installed FroyoStone v2, this time the tiny text appeared and faded after about 5 -10 seconds and the screen has gone blank, is this normal? No scrolling text, nothing, I going tpo re-boot and will keep you updated. Thx
If you read the previous posts you would know this thread has nothing to do with the problem youre describing. I understand the confusion of the title but pls read the thread first.

Your problem is unrelated to this thread.
So far we have more and more people having the related issue on WM and Android. We need some expert to help us pinpoint the problem.

i have the same issues.
I can add also playing videos for longerthan 5-10min would make the phone reboot too weither its WM or android.
Today I was in the Store where I bought mine HTC HD2, because I was sick off it. They told me that is was a familiar problem with the HTC HD2. They also would repair it free for me. I didn't do it yet because first I have to delete my HSPL etc.
I asked them also what the would repair to solve te problem, he told me: the will do a complete bodyswap. So everything will be renewed, exept the tochscreen and front.
So I guess it is a real and serious hardware problem....
Why we dont hear people conplaining about it if its comon?
I find that very odd.
Someone could try PMing one of the devs in the forum and linking them to this thread to see if they could shed some insight or at least bring more attention to the issue.
Well I live in the Netherlands and on the Dutch HTC HD2 forum, I heard some people complaining about it. But the salesman of the store said that it is a familiar problem, so that sounds to me like a regular problem. But indeed it's weird we doesn't hear more people complaining.
Maybe the most of the people think is normal with WM, but I am really sick of it...
Hi guys .. Well I recently got my HTC Desire Z about a month ago, and still like having it for one week or so, I've had this problem that my Desire Z keep going unresponsive when its looked .. That is to say, when its locked and I press the power button to make it light up so that I can unlock it, nothing happens .. its doesn't light up .. In such a condition pressing or doing anything doesn't make it light up so that I can unlock it and use the phone .. My only option is to take the battery out and re-insert it and then turn on the phone .. This happens on average like once a day ... Also, I havent really figured out what may be causing this .. it just seems random ..
Other than this the phone works fine in every respect .. It locks and unlocks fine and there's no major lag or anything at any time ..
Any ideas what may be causing this ? Does it sound like a hardware issue of a software issue ? Could an application be causing this ? I admit I installed like 50 apps on my phone within the first 24 hours, and have been installing more apps regularly ..
I would return it for a different device. i do not have this problem and havent had any problems with my G2. good luck!
Do you by any chance use a custom rom like CM? I have had this same problem with some of the earlier releases of CM7, and eventually fixed that by doing a full reinstall with wiping Data and cache as well.

What he said!!!
Not to be mean but this is the second thread in two days that references a common problem with multiple threads to it.
Google or search HTC G2 random lockup freeze battery pull.
There's a few things you can try but ultimately there is some kind of design flaw with the phone that affects quite a few units. G2 is not the only one either.

Nope, I'm using the stock OS, and stock everything else as well .. I haven't started fooling around with such things yet ..

So are you saying its a hardware issue ? If its a software issue, can I maybe flash the stock OS myself ?
The cause isn't known. Its pretty thoroughly discussed here (with my personal thoughts on the issue at the end of the thread):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908095
And more recently started threads about the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995415
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986204
I personally think that its either software related, or combination of software and hardware, as I've seemingly been able to fix the problem by flashing a different kernel.
Most DZ's don't have this problem. So if you are still within the exchange period, I'd return the phone for a new one.
I would try a factory reset and use it without installing apps for a day or so and then re-install your apps one a day until you find the problem. When Skype first came out I had the same issue. If it's still the same after wiping it then for sure take it back.
Well so I called HTC Support about 10 days ago, and the guy whom I spoke with told me to go into the Applications area in Settings, and do a 'Clear Data' for the application named 'HTC Sense' .. there were two applications in my case with this same name, and he told me to do this for the one which has 'HTC Corporation' written under it .. This essentially restores the desktop configuration to the factory one .. That is, all widgets are placed as they were originally, and the wallpaper is the original one too ... I did this and for the past 10 days, my phone has reset only 2-3 times, instead of happening every single day ... I still use the phone just as much as before ...
So what could this mean ? And what should I do now ?

No offense, but you are kinda asking the same question of what to do, over and over. Several people have given suggestions. Have you tried them, and if so, what were the results?
As already suggested, one thing to try is factory reset, so the phone is clean. Use it for a few days with no extra apps and see if you have any SODs.
If you are still within the remorse/exchange period for a new phone (30 days for many carriers in the US), I would exchange for a new phone.
If you are not within the exchange period, but under warranty, you can try to send it for repair. But at least one other person on here did that, and the phone was returned as "repaired" with absolutely nothing changed on the phone, and with the problem still existing.
If you are rooted, or willing to root, I'd try a different kernel. On the stock Desire Z ROM, the Godspeed kernel removed the SOD problem for me.
well i am new here but i think this is the place to be...
anywayz i have been using Arc for a month now and Its the sexiest thing ever...maybe after Megan Fox..
but heres the problem...
Ever since i bought it...its been rebooting 4-5 times every day , except the 3-4 days in the second week . Sometimes it reboots , at others i have to switch it on . I used to have a W910i(osum) previously and even it rebooted 4-5 times each day , but with android it takes time and so is a problem.
Any ideas , any help , sumthing ?
Thanks .
P.S -ARC - All New Cult.
You could have a little read through there are lots of posts about reboots maybe your problems could be the same as others on here.
Sent via noahs ark
@OP There are 2 to three threads of this kind, please spend some time to read them all before you post.
@everyone, looks like we have too many "Rebooting" thread !!
@Mods please close these threads.
okay...well sorry guys...will check around and come back...
thanks..
Mine did the same and could never figure out why... so I installed LauncherPro (had license from my Nexus S) and installed Winamp for the music app and phone hasnt reboot since... personally I think there is a prob with the SE widgets as the Music Widget always force closed and it was always when playing music the phone rebooted on me.
Dunno if that helps?
my music app never force closes...so dunno if this is the problem..and i dont have any license for what software you are mentioning , It hasnt rebooted for 30 hours straight tho...
Try to increase VM Heap in Build prop to 40 it might help with FC's.
well i dont have any idea about what MVP says...(sounds kool tho)
Another insight to the problem that some of mah applications dont show after reboot...all of them are on the sd card..and i have to reinsert the sd card to get them back or i can move them to phone from the application setting and get them on the app screen .
Is this reboot thing a mem card problem then. This last reboot happened after 60 hours of hard usage (loads of sppedx3d game n wifi ).

hey , This tool or application you are talking about , can you explain what it does and how is it a remedy for random restarts ? Because i dont wanna fiddle with the firmware and dont want to do any stuff like rooting and jailbreaking .
THanks !
VM Heap is like Virtual Memory in Windows. When you increase the size there will be more space for the applications to work with. Less battery drain and less chance of reboot. But you need root and busybox inorder that application to work. People coming from CM7 would know about VM Heap. I'm not guaranteeing that this will work. There is a good chance though.
Uninstall from the phone the f*cking widget, like System Info Widget or simiClock or all other then working and not rebooting
This problem was my too, i make a factory reset and not install so many widget sofware. In the 2.3.2 Rom have a bug and not working good the phone with many widget's.
Sorry for my bad english.

Easy. Factory reset your Arc. If it still reboot in random, it's hardware problem, need replace the main board.
hi! i had 2 samsung phone and i hated both! thats probably last phone i get! waiting for nexus 5 to come!!!
btw i got few problems!
1-when pressing power bottoms it takes up to 1 minute for screen to turn on! even today i almost heart attacked toght my phone is dead!
2-keyboard lags a lot! like i press few keys it dens't vibrate ands tuck at showing key almost near when i end that word it just vibrate many times and show what i typed
3- my google chrom ONLY it stops for seconds and then a black screen and goes to app menu or home:! (forcecloses) when i go back it mostly comes back to where i was but sometimes when i like open a page 1mintues before and it closes i can't see the page or even 1 time it opened blank page!!!!! that's too annoying and it usually happens every 10 mins!
also today i saw some page blinking black white and stuck it happened again i closed the tab!
smart pause doens't work also! most of times it doesn't work but ofc it does in some conditions! and i tryed turning everything off expect smart pasue
have you tried factory resetting the device ?
my device is doesnt hav any problems but my friends device was lagging ... he reset it and everything is good now !

Smart pause can be used in good light conditions only, in a bright environment ... i find it useless nonetheless ... also i a factory reset doesn't help resolving certain lagging issues see if u can update the phone to latest version ...
I rooted my phone! + wantom lite! what happens if i still factory reset? removes root and completly factory?( damn wont lose apps+ stuff takes time to backup also! i can't update:S but will donwload new version of wantam lite tonight coz the one i ahve is almsot the frist version! lol and also after this happend i almost haven't use my phone for 4w eeks! thats crazy but im so sad and .... also have no diea what to do whit my phone anymore this phone made me forget everything about phones damn im so angry!!!
also my sdcard is burned lost a lot of apps!
If you have a custom rom report your problem to the rom's thread ... also the sd card burned by the heat?
How can u hate a specific phone when u are not running on it what it is supposed to run ... meaning stock software ... because those problems u mentioned are software issues which most likely occurred by lack of optimization of the rom u run atm ... i'm on stock and have non of those issues ...
