[HD2 General] Beards:
I'm in between surgery so thought I'd post a quick question where the answer is puzzling me.

Basically, I'm in wonder if this has happened to any other soul?

Picked up my HD2 when I came out of Theatre and it simply would not switch on.

Thinking it may be the battery that had run down I connected it to a power source to charge and noticed the Orange charge indicator did not light up.

Next I took out the battery and reinserted, then pushed the power button......

Still nothing.

Thinking was it a problematic battery (although it still should have switched on when connected to a power source) I exchanged the battery for the spare I take around with me.

Still nothing.

Finally, I reinserted the first battery and once again pressed the power button.

This time it fired up and loaded without any issue.

I checked the battery level ~ that indicated 56% still remaining.

So I am in puzzlement as to what may have caused it's temporary death.

Has any other had a similar experience?

It would seem that to some (myself included) there is a fix that does indeed cure the problem and that is by using the software application MemMaid.

Others have tried SKTools but MemMaid seems to operate much better at terminating the freezes.

Unfortunately MemMaid is not free and seeing as HTC will not budge from this being a 'users personal settings' that is causing the freeze our only course of action at the moment is by using MemMaid.

However, please do note..... Not everyone has benefited from using MemMaid; why that is the case could be down to some individuality ~ a different setting, installed software, routine notification, etc. etc.

In other words first try the free trial version of MemMaid and if it seems to cure the the problem then do consider investing in it.... besides all this it is a great piece of software.

You can get hold of MemMaid here.

Word of Warning.....

Ensure you set up MemMaid correctly. I spent ages with member wacky banana throwing many personal messages between the two of us like fervid lovers until finally wacky came up with a setting we could use.

Below is the settings to apply to MemMaid:-

In your programs section you should see 2 icons, one called Memmaid Quick Clean and the other is Memmaid.

Click on the Memmaid icon and a window opens.

At the top left corner it should say Quick Cleaner but this is not relevant for now.

Put a tick in the the following options (the list is scrollable):

- compact ram

- windows temp files

- temp files

- ie cache files

- ie history files

- opera cache

- dead shortcuts

- duplicate notifications

- dangling notifications

- invalid notifications

- rebuild notification queue

- recycle bin

- google maps cache

Press the CLEAN button and wait for the tool to do its job then press the close button.

Next, on the bottom right of your screen, click the Tools option. From the drop-down menu choose CLEAN SCHEDULE.

Tick the following items:

- on soft reset

- daily (here you need to scroll to the right to select the icon with the 3 dots in it to set your schedule)

- show report (optional)

- show progress (optional)

Click DONE on the bottom left corner on your screen and job's a good 'un!

Member jonbaker76 came up with a few extra tips to help alleviate the problem:-

1). Install MemMaid and follow settings provided by Beards & WB

[*]2). Disable the alarm (use G-Alarm maybe)

[*]3). Turn off Facebook updates

[*]4). Turn off Weather updates

[*]5). Turn off Internet Time Sync

[*]6). Wait a while before carrying out a soft reset, your Phone may just wake up

Guys,

We are starting to find a pattern building up here relating the problem with Sense.

Some users don't have problems with ROM 1.48 but others Do/Did (I used to) so we can't say v1.48 was okay.

However, it's the later ROM's which seem to have the greater of the problem which could relate to an issue with Sense.

i.e. Although evident in v1.48 it was not as strong but with either Cooked ROM's or updated ROM's the problem has been magnified.

A few Guys have now tried using their HD2 without Sense and report a stable platform.

What I am saying here is if you have the problem and you can afford not to use Sense then try running your Phone without it for a trial and see how it performs...... With enough info we can pass this on to HTC.
