[XPERIA X10 General] zm4:
No offence, but screw the flash tool...I repaired using SEUS took a few tries but managed to work again.

The reason why the phone messed up was because I was trying to flash a BB without resetting and clearing those stuff using xrecovery.

Ok :D alright.

By resetting and clearing those stuff I suppose u mean factory reset n all......I don't think we're supposed to do any of those stuff,I flash the baseband straight away n then flash the ROM I wish to use,n i've not screwed even once!

Even nothing like that is mentioned in flash tool guide.I think ur x10 got screwed for some other reason.
[XPERIA X10 General] FlashLegend:
Just use Seuss. This happened to me once and it fixed it up!
[XPERIA X10 General] thunderbox666:
SEUS doesnt always work... it wouldnt work for me so i had to use flashtools

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whyb0ther:
Hi Guys,

Bought a Fascinate to replace my ipod touch because it got washed. :D

The Fascinate is Verizon branded.

Couple of questions.

Will it have a sim card slot?

Can it be unlocked to work on 3g or 2g networks in Australia?

Have googled everything figured someone here may know.

Cheers
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] times_infinity:
Sorry, the verizon fascinatr is CDMA, no SIM. What you wanted was a Telus Fascinate or any other Galaxy S phone, except the Epic.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickB95:
Sup guys

I have done something really dumb. While trying to use clockwork mod (it was rooted, but had stock rom) to try to format my SD, it evidently formatted the internal memory instead. The Tab now wont boot (stuck at 'Galaxy Tab' splash screen). I realize that all my data (including finished angry birds :'( ) is gone, but i would just like to get the thing working again. When i first got it, I rooted it, but was put off flashing custom ROMS by the complexity of Heimdall and Odin (call me a noob, but I was used to the comical easiness of Desire flashing). I realize that ODIN/Heimdall is probably the only way to unbrick my phone (any others?) so can anyone link/ repost a comprehensive guide to either of them.

Thanks in advance

i just ordered a 16gb one at bestbuy. be here in time for my Bday next week :)
[HD2 General] EgoMaximus:
Hello,

Since yesterday, HD2 back becomes very hot for no reason (no new apps installed for many months) and battery is drained within 4-5 hours (from 100%).

Same when I restart the phone. However, it randomly fixes itself for no reason too.

I also can't wake up the phone just by pressing HANG UP key, I have to HOLD IT for 5 seconds for screen to highlight.

Any ideas?

Official 3.14 ROM
[HD2 General] clark97:
Are you using a googlemail account, if so delete it and reboot the phone. remove battery for 10 secs.
[HD2 General] EgoMaximus:
Wow, you are a hero. Yes, I do.

Is this a known bug? Any fixes?

Do I just re-add account then?
[HD2 General] Andrew u.k.:
Excellent, worked for me to.
[HD2 General] vborovic:
Had the same problem with my HD, deleted the Gmail account now, and I'll se if it helps ... the only thing that maybe is wrong (people ask why Gmail not something else) is maybe related to Gmail's new priority inbox thing, maybe it makes extra stress on the phone to process the mail ... I know a lot of people already had this feature, but in my case, my Gmail Inbox got the priority thing just before the HD2 started acting up, so that's why I'm assuming it's somehow related to all of this ... then again, maybe just a coincidence that doesn't have anything to do with it ... I think it's too early for speculations ...

Btw, my first post here
[HD2 General] johnerz:
Welcome and a helpfull first post :)
[HD2 General] vborovic:
Don't get the idea that I don't have anything better to do and just type here, but here's and update ... The phone is cooling down, the battery life holds normally, and you can turn on the phone from standby by pressing any button, like you used to before (some people reported that you could only turn it back from standby by long pressing the power button, myself included)
[HD2 General] CubeShin:
I also had this problem and someone on the Tmobile forum said XDA suggested to delete the Gmail accounts. This was my response on the other forum:

"Deleted all Gmail email accounts I had on my phone. I can verify that this corrected the problem and my HD2 is now working normally.

This is definitely not a good permanent solution because I use multiple gmail accounts. I also noted that when I did have my Gmail accounts on my phone, it would hang when trying to communicate with google servers. If you went to inbox, and looked at the status message at the bottom of the screen. It would hang at like "Connecting" or "Disconnecting"."

Also of note; this problem just started happening in the last few days and I've had my HD2 with multiple gmail accounts setup since release.
[HD2 General] SR-Bassman:
First-time poster...

We've done the same thing (deleted our Gmail accounts). After the battery recharges - it went completely dead after only 6 hours off the charger - we'll see if/how it works

[HD2 General] inuyasha1999:
Thanks for posting the gmail issue and fix. I had been having the same issue since Thursday night, and was almost ready to call T-Mobile to try to get a replacement, but saw the post here just by chance. So far it is working the way it was before, so it's much better. I even tried a hard reset(after a backup, of course), but had gone through and setup all of my stuff again right away, so I was still having the issue.
[HD2 General] SR-Bassman:
T-Mobile is now listing this as a known issue - last night when I called, they weren't so you can imagine the number of calls they've received already. My advice: if you are a T-Mobile customer and haven't reported this issue, please do. The more they see it is affecting, maybe the quicker they'll get a resolution for it.

Mike
[HD2 General] BigBlueEdge:
I've had the exact same issue with my HD2 since Thursday evening. I just found this thread about Gmail and have deleted my Gmail account from the phone's e-mail app. Crossing my fingers to see if that fixes it.

I have a trouble ticket open with HTC regarding the issue and have made them aware of the possible Gmail interaction problem. The tech helping me said he will explore it and also that "GMail did recently perform a server side security change". Hopefully HTC and Google get their heads together and figure out what is going on.

Rob
[HD2 General] SR-Bassman:
Amen to that! Permanently leaving Gmail off my phone is not an acceptable option!

euro hd2

Also same situation with euro version HD2.
[HD2 General] SR-Bassman:
Someone on the HD2 Facebook page is reporting that if you go into Task Manager, the email client is using 80%-90% of the CPU. No wonder it's getting warm...
[HD2 General] Haldo:
Great. And I was prepared to do an HR in the morning because of this. Hope there will be an permanent solution for this soon.
[HD2 General] SR-Bassman:
Just to touch base... since deleting the Gmail account and recharging the phone, it has worked flawlessly. A little too late to test the battery life (I won't be up near that late) but I'll let y'all know tomorrow.
[HD2 General] wondercoolguy:
I am a super noob when it comes to this my brother is having this problem how do you delete gmail from the HD2 sorry but I'm an android guy trying to help a windows
[HD2 General] BigBlueEdge:
After removing my Gmail account from the phone it seems to be back to normal. Hopefully they find a fix soon.

Rob
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Is this only an IMAP issue as I have 3 gmail accounts (POP3) on my T-Mob HD2 & they are all working fine without bugging the HD2.
[HD2 General] :
1st timer - My hot HD2 began a few days ago, after 9 or 10 months ownership. Did an HR, then added google email back. boom heat & battery drain back. t-mobile support did acknowledge the issue, but their system is down so there's nothing they can do. Guess I'll dump the mail setup since that seems to make everyone else's HD2 perform ok.

Thanks for the info.
[HD2 General] jowawue:
battery drain and hot HD2...

Hia!

The problems described for t-mobile USA are also affecting mobiles in Germany. I am using my HD2 fo vodafone DE and t-mobile DE with a "shared" SIM-connector. Data is blocked on t-mobile, there the HD2 keeps its normal temperature, with vodafone (FYVE) and a data-plan it nearly serves backed beans and the battery is low within an hour.

So clearly the data-exchange is responsible for that... gosh! I am using several gamil-account privately and at work (gmail-edu).

Hopefully this is fixed soon!!!

cul - Jowa.

edit: I discovered the problem on Friday morning CEST
[HD2 General] 4stimpy:
Same problem here on a dutch phone.

Just deleted the Gmail, i'll wait and see. And hope that there is a solution soon.
[HD2 General] SR-Bassman:
Issue update: I've had my phone off the charger since 0400 this morning. As of noon - 8 hours later - it hasn't locked up, isn't hot, and still has an 87% charge. Dumping Gmail certainly brought my phone back to normal. Now let's just hope they get this issue resolved soon...
[HD2 General] skoorbjt:
I did not delete the gmail account however I did disconnect the send/receive email automatically function. Then reset the phone and for the last 5 hours the battery has gone from 99%-85%. With moderate use and no heating, so that is a great improvement from what was happening before. I only assume it had something with the gmail account as that account gets regular mail activity. So in other words if I need to check my gmail account I can use a laptop or turn it on temporarily then disconnect.

Phone working fine for now.
[HD2 General] maximus9314:
Everyone, post your concern in this Google support thread:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=62077c5f41b7cf17&hl=en

You can post since you already have a Gmail account. The more noise we make the higher chance that Google would actually do something about it.
[HD2 General] cergun:
Mine started possibly at the same time and I hard resetted and re-installed all software.

How come all of us have the same problem at the same time?

One of the posters mentioned that it may be related to priority inbox, but I have priority inbox enabled for a long time.

May it be related to t-mobile loading/updating something on our phones without us knowing?

I don't think it is a gmail issue....

Any comments?
[HD2 General] jowawue:
Hi cergun,

unfortunately this problem also affects users in other networks - as i.e. vodafone Germany [here in Wuerzburg aka Dirk-town ;) ]. Thus it is rather gmail-related than a network-based problem.

Best wishes - Jowa
[HD2 General] BigBlueEdge:
Because apparently Google made some changes to their Gmail mail servers on 5/19. Those changes caused our HD2s to begin experiencing a problem that led to high CPU usage, which in turn led to heat and battery drain.

I'm not positive, but I believe 'priority inbox' is a feature related to Gmail via a web browser so I don't think that has anything to do with the issue.

Rob
[HD2 General] jowawue:
just another bit of information...:

I can confirm the problem on two other WM 6.5 systems, t-mobile-DE and o2-DE, both using gmail accounts.

BTW: with a 100% busy tmail.exe all imap/pop3-accounts are locked... An update with non-gmail account works fine, as long as you don't involve any gmail account.

So, let's google find the 05/19-mess ;)
[HD2 General] :
T-Mobile is sending me a new (reconditioned most likely) HD2 because of the issue being a "known issue" ... and because mine is less than a year old. Why not ... there may be a 50/50 chance the replacement unit won't have the issue. From prior experience w/ google's business class mail products, it may be a VERY ... VERY long time before they get off their hands and do something ... if ever.
[HD2 General] maximus9314:
It would be a 100% chance for the replacement unit not experiencing the issue if you disable Gmail on it.
[HD2 General] Phantoms:
I was going to say the same thing. It won't have the issue until you set up a gmail account.

BTW, here's the T-Mobile forums thread on this issue.
[HD2 General] :
Yep ... and if I don't turn on the lights ... I don't use any electricity. The thing is ... some things are designed to do what they do.
[HD2 General] mity287:
Oh good it's not just me... but gmail is all i use... now what? should i do outlook on my HD2 to get my email? i have 3 gmail accts - personal, professional, and PTA. If i can't get my email i have no use for the phone anymore, except for Facebook of course...:p
[HD2 General] maximus9314:
Well, maybe it's not all bad.

I found my HD2's battery life improved quite a bit after disabling Gmail sync despite the fact it's still syncing with an exchange server and another IMAP account.

I'm still holding out for Gmail to fix the issue though. LOL.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
Thanks! I was trying to figure out why tmail was hogging cpu the last few days.

I use battclock app, so I can see my cpu speed. It goes up to 997 and stays there due to tmail, which based on this thread is due to gmail.
[HD2 General] justmeandmyphone:
Seems to be a collision between old (before) and new (after the change) data.

Delete all Gmail accounts from the phone, do a soft reset and then reconfigure them.
[HD2 General] trotterjerry:
I did that and it still acts the same way. I just turned off the auto send /receive and check manually - no problems. I hope google makes a better fix.
[HD2 General] :
+1 Yes, that won't cure gmail's issue. It's likely google will NOT be motivated to take care of the issue as from what I can tell, the droid platform is unaffected. Anyone here using a droid rom & gmail on their HD2? Maybe they could confirm/deny the effect/lack thereof.
[HD2 General] 4stimpy:
If you go to the settings of your Gmail(that is in the web browser, not your phone), there is a tab called mailbox priority (or something in dutch postvak prioriteit) The jou can set if you want to use priority notification or not. I disabled it and it is fine now for a few hours so maybe that could be a solution.
[HD2 General] justmeandmyphone:
Yeah, in the meantime i can confirm this. After a few hours tmail began freezing again. :(

But Google is inspecting the problem.
[HD2 General] bugg100:
It seems to be a new label rolled out on the 19th, same time the problems came to light, found this out via google help forums... I disabled labels in gmail.

I killed the currently hung process trying to log on to google, then told the phone to send/receive, and it immediately downloaded mail from the server and logged off...

Now with the labels hidden, the hd2 app logs on and downloads mail then logs off as before. US HD2 on tmobile, IMAP.

Time will tell!
[HD2 General] hansboot020:
If disabling labels works, please tell us how you did it. I tried it, even disabled everything with the "Advanced IMAP Controls" lab tool, but also that does not work for me.

Other options I tried:

* use POP3: NOK (for me). It loads the mails, but won't show them. Maybe a language issue: gmail web and my mobile do not use the same language.

* set the inbound server to pop.gmail.com while maintaining the imap protocol: NOK (for me) also leads to 100%CPU.

Waiting for google to sort this out.
[HD2 General] maximus9314:
Don't bother. It doesn't fix the issue. In fact, the only workaround is to change the IMAP protocol to POP, which is far from desire.

Check the Google support thread for details:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=62077c5f41b7cf17&hl=en&start=80

Please report your issue there. We need more people to voice their concerns to Google.
[HD2 General] bugg100:
Active through the exchange server provided at m.gmail.com also works... but not labels. That worked for about 2 hours for me.

Now at 10 hours via the active sync exchange server....
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
wow XDA continues to amaze me.

I came on here to post that I have just emailed HTC to get my phone repair/replaced due to it overheating etc etc as per the OP.

Pulling the battery and cooling it fixes it for 5min but then it heats again.

Sadly gmail is disabled on work machines so I will have to live with it (actually I am going to boot into Android - although I have only 40% battery left already after 3 hours and see if I can get through the day).

Just wanted to say I have my Gmail account via ActiveSync and still get the problem so sadly that is NOT a solution either:mad:

So does disabling priority Inbox help?

I will click to comnplain to Google as well
[HD2 General] montrala:
Mine started this behaviour yesterday. I use 2 Gmail accounts - one set for "push" (as "Outlook" account) one on IMAP. For now I switched off receiving from IMAP account. Seem to work.... for now :mad:
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
I have just decided to boot into CoreDroid Android rom for now.

Battery life and slight slugglishness were the main issues with this (using android) previously but it is better than battery pulls every half hour!

(I don't have anything on IMAP)
[HD2 General] plasmarepairs:
Hi,

My HD2 has now developed this getting hot and having to hold the end call button for 5 seconds or it won't even turn back on have to remove the battery.

I back dated my ROM to official O2 to 1.72 added gmail and bang back locking up. I have just deleted my gmail account and it works as it should all be it no gmail. I have also noted that I can't download the latested O2 Rom from HTC just comes up error message server time out.

Is there a solution? if so can they post it in baby step by step format so a layman can understand.

Many thanks

Rob
[HD2 General] BigBlueEdge:
Obviously Google isn't taking this issue seriously. Time to step up the campaign to get them to fix the issue they caused on 5/19. I suggest that everyone start using the tools available to them to raise awareness. Post this on your Facebook page, send Twitter messages targeted at Google, send The Consumerist alerts about the issue, contact others in the tech media. When Google realizes that this is a huge issue affecting users worldwide that they caused they will have to step up and resolve it.

Deleted GMAIL from HTC HD2

Deleted my Gmail account from my HTC HD2 and the issue has been resolved .. it doesn't look like there will be a fix anytime soon .. phone is working fine again, however.

Deeply unimpressed. :)
[HD2 General] mad1010:
Wow, I'm glad I decided to look at XDA first, before contacting HTC, the problems started about a day ago. Battery drains 10% in half an hour without using the phone, also it gets quite hot. Is deleting the gmail account the only option? Or is disabling active sync also sufficient? I don't mind manually getting the e-mail as much as no gmail at all.

I have a dutch T-mobile Htc HD2.
[HD2 General] BigBlueEdge:
You don't HAVE to delete the account from the phone. Just set it to manual send/receive and then do a soft reset (reboot) of the phone. Be aware that any subsequent send/receives, even manual, may cause the same CPU spike to re-occur. So you don't have to delete Gmail but you have to stop using the account.

Some have had success changing the account from IMAP to POP access. If using POP as a method to get your mail is OK for you then you can still access your account that way.

Rob
[HD2 General] trotterjerry:
I can confirm - even after setting to manual - every time I tried to sync I got the spike and it wouldn't go past "Logging on". I deleted the account and then set it up as a POP3 account. It now works no problem. note: just dl'd my recent mail. I'll let you know in a few hours if it still works. I set it to auto dl every 1/2 hour
[HD2 General] kjt57:
I am having the same problem with heat etc. Strange thing is I dont use Gmail.

I use my Sky account on pop 3.

Dont know much about email setup etc, but when I go to mail/inbox it always shows outlook email, and I have to go down the list to select sky. How can I change this? under account settings, Outlook email is greyed out and you cant delete it. Any help would be appreciated.
[HD2 General] Mongrol:
Hi Rob,

I tried all of what you mention above before I decided that deleting Gmail from the phone was my only option other than a hammer and hard- reset :)

I had 0 success with naything other than deleting the Gmail account.

The phone is still locking up a few times since then , but at least it's not locking up power draining and is as usable as trying to surf the internet with a brick.
[HD2 General] mad1010:
After having my acount set to manual I can confirm that the problem can still occur when you manually try to receive mail, immediatly it locks up the screen, the buttons below the screen light up. Also the battery gets hot again and I see a sharp increase in battery drain. Damn gmail. I might try to set it up with pop3 access.

Just found out that I can't receive mail at all anymore! Damn Gmail
[HD2 General] pizzaboy192:
Why not make google more anxious to shut us up? One thread with a ton of replies isn't nearly as obvious as a few hundred threads with a single response from Google and a few community members?

(Also, this happens to more than HD2 owners. I've got a Verizon LG Fathom and it's got the same problems)
[HD2 General] haighpaul:
I can confirm that manual syncing is now not working at all. I had been able to achieve it on most attempts prior to today but now it fails every time.

Sky uses GMail, I presume they have some sort of leasing. Interesting that you have problems with pop. I have sky IMAP so can understand it not working but I thought pop3 was OK. Presumambly you have enabled pop access and diabled IMAP in your sky account page??
[HD2 General] Smailtronic:
I haven't seen this mentioned, but maybe somebody else can confirm. Send/Receive on my personal gmail addy is causing the same problems that everyone else is experiencing. However, the primary email addy I have configured on my hd2 is a Google Apps account (for work). It's syncing via Outlook/Microsoft Direct Push as emails arrive, but this account is having no adverse effect on tmail.exe/heat/battery.

Could this be a workaround for folks; setting up their gmail through Outlook?
[HD2 General] dickpwwu:
1. I have changed IMAP to POP. It does not work.

2. Disable Auto-Sync. It works.

But when I tried manually "send/receive", the problem came back.

I can't get email from gmail account.

3. I disabled "Important Markers", it works without problem now.

Hmm seems to be fixed now, manually checking for mail works now, just turned the auto sync on (10 minutes ago) and battery drain hasn't started yet, fingers crossed!
