Hi!

I've been using HTC HD2 T8585 for a month now. I used Samsung Omnia I900 for almost 2 year before switching to HTC so I have had some experince with WinMobile.

Here are the details: ROM 1.48.479.1 (71294) WWE, Radio version 2.05.51.05_2, Manila 2.5.1921619.00.

I am also experiencing slow downs. It started a few days ago and only in 2 situations: when trying to call someone (pressing a contact shortcut on home screen or People) and when trying to end a call. The phone would not start dialing and it wouldn't end a call for 15, 20 seconds. What was weird was that when I would press a contact shortcut, you could see that the phone registered me touching the icon but nothing happened afterward for at least 15s. The phone wouldn't dial but it would allow me to start other applications without any delay. Then I would quickly go to Task manager and open CPU processes view. Manilla.exe was at about 50% of CPU. Before it was at 0%. Than it would jump to 90% and as soon as this happened, the phone would start dialing (approximately 15 seconds after I pressed a contact shortcut on home tab).

Also, I could answer when somebody called me but when the conversation would end, the phone would slow down again. Once again, it takes it some 15s to finish the call and change to home screen.

I read a lot about freezing on various forums but couldn't find a solution which would help me. Than I started removing software one by one and I found what the reason was. It had nothing to do with Facebook, Weather or anything like that. It had to be Cookie's Home Tab V1.7.1. As soon as I uninstalled it, the phone would work perfectly. I do not experience any slow downs when starting a call or when ending it. And I just hate that Cookie's Home Tab was the reason while I love that software and I really do not want to use my phone without it.

So, this is my case. I hope it will help someone. And I hope I'll find a way to use Cookie's Home tab without the slow downs.

Blue skies!

piss off with this device today. having freeze more then 6-7 time while having incoming text Msg. i am using dutty rom . from my siggy. anyway to solve it?
[HD2 General] RagnarIceblood:
I just recieved my phone back from repairs (had a faulty screen with white dot on it).

So its stock ROM (1.66.409.1, norwegian), not a lot of messages, about 300 contacts.

So far experienced about 6-7 slide to unlock freezes.

Anyone else got those?

I slide to unlock, and the phone just freeze, have to take out battery, sometimes though, it unlocks after 10-20 seconds.

No slowdowns as of yet (had a lot of those previously)
[HD2 General] kongsvada:
freezes

Have the same problem, running ROM 1.66 (norwegian) and it freezes 8-10 times a day. Ive also been running only on factory default and no addons of any kind, same trouble...

Ive heard that a new ROM is released for HD2 in the United Kingdom:1.72.110.4

anybody knows when this hits Norway?

worse case is when i am sleeping and someone called me the phone jus freeze. i hope htc will fix it as soon as possible. what if the call is important and it freeze in sleep mode? dam!
[HD2 General] Spoofy:
Found the cause

Hi all,

I have discovered it may be the Rilphone that is the cause of the issue. I have suffered from this issue for an in-excess of 2 months. From the lag when typing a text to the phone not coming out of sleep to the issue with trying to bring up the phone dialer and finally the freeze on the incoming calls.

I have not currently tested a Rilphone without the issue and am about to test kwbr_1.77_rilphone_2.10.50_19_2 which also contains the wavedev.dll

I have currently deleted the Rilphone and the phone has been working flawlessly, apart from the obvious issues of not having decent reception and the phone makes no noise and I can't hear anyone during phone calls.

Does anyone know if i can Flash a Rilphone with a ROM that has no patched nk.exe?

Thanks, will post more info if the Rilphone is the cause
[HD2 General] Zentury:
Disable the below setting.

[HD2 General] gamepro56:
Where can i find the rom??
[HD2 General] gamepro56:
Where can i find the same rom cuz mine freezes like hell
[HD2 General] Spoofy:
Thanks, yes I tried that also. I have come to the conclusion the today time out doesn't affect the phone not waking up, but rather the Rilphone as mentioned in my earlier post. In fact nearing 24 hours and my phone runs really well without a Rilphone in the windows dir apart from the issue of not being able to make calls.
[HD2 General] Chainfire:
I'm not sure if it is rilphone per se... I had noticed before that cellular data connections in general is what causes the slowdown, you can easily replicate the issue at will if you have multiple mail accounts through POP3 that have a lot of message "on server" and perform a send/receive.

If the problem is the data connection, then yes, removing rilphone will solve the issue, as no data connection is possible anymore, but it still doesn't rule out actual radio or any other driver related to the data connection.

You can indeed load another rilphone, see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=495145. Create a CAB from the DLL and install that CAB, if the rilphone is compatible it will work. I have already tried that in the past though, but the rilphone I loaded didn't work. I only tried one, though :)

Receiving Sms and incoming call my phone freeze and hang. black screen. seriously this is a **** if HTc dont fix it. how can a phone hang/freeze so many time in a day? if will serious make user miss alot of important calls and text message out there man.
[HD2 General] Spoofy:
I've noticed after performing Task 29 then updating Rilphone or to one of latest cooked ROM's with the latest Ship and you should be back in business!
[HD2 General] .hide:
thanks Spoofy. i will try perform Task 29 andn flash a newer rom and see how.
[HD2 General] rkrims:
In my experience it kept freezing about 1 time a day. Moved Phonex installation from Storage Card to main memory and issue was gone (at least for the last 3 days).

Seems to be that applications which run in the background must be in main memory. Storage card may have delays in "waking up" and causing the freeze...
[HD2 General] moisha:
Flashing the latest official cured my HD2 SOD

The phone would freeze at least twice a day on me after I flashed hardspl Some of the infamous triggers for me were: wake up by scheduled task, alarms, mail downloads, cell tower change, 3G to EDGE switch. One sure way to get the SOD for me was to play the music (mp3 or radio stream), let the screen to black, have another sound file play by pocket alarm. Removing the SD card helped a bit. Disabling the screen lock helped significantly. But still no day without at least one reset. I was about to trash my HD2, when as a last resort I flashed the latest official T-Mobile_HD2_MR Software_2.13.531.1.exe. Running stable for a week now with no single SOD.
[HD2 General] .hide:
hi spooft it kidda work well. after flashing newer rom. the freeze and hang seem to be gone. at least for this week. thanks!
[HD2 General] Navazka:
I have a problem with freezes HD2. I have a official ROM 1.66 with czech localisation (Sunnysoft Interwrite) and HD2 will be freeze after any hours inactivity (over night for example). Any idea for solving? Except flashing unofficial ROM, I need official ROM. Thank you.

[HD2 General] dirkschry:
Hellow, I've had my HTC HD2 freeze every time I accepted an incoming call.

I tried everything I could think of, even a factory reset, and then I was poking around, still having the same problem. I went to the comm manager >> wirreles service >> Phone >> Band

there I saw that the networktype was set to auto, and frequencyband set to auto as well, so I changed that to networktype GSM and frequencyband GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100+900).

My problem was then solved...

I don't think you all have the exact same problem but perhaps this might help some people, after all, if and when this phone works right, it's really a nice piece of tech.

Good luck to all with it!
[HD2 General] georgi69:
solved

Hello all,

the problem of my device seems to be solved definitively - it fell on a pavement without the cover as I was stepping out of the car and got broken /screen, plastic frame, .../. HTC service estimated repair to 200€ - for that I can get a new phone e.g. HTC Desire here (with a contract of course). As I bought HD2 for a full price I can still use this "joker"... and I probably will.

Regards,

Georgi
[HD2 General] hugocbp:
I really think this is a hardware fault. I manage a community with 300 HD2 owners in Orkut and none of then seens to suffer from the same freezes I do.

I've tried several ROMs, RADIOs, HSPLs, Sense, No-Sense, combinations of all, no-apps... Still get freezes every single day.

Eventually I gave up my HD2 and bought and HTC Desire...

It's probably a screen issue.
[HD2 General] arturobandini:
Same problem here on my HD2.

It freezes as soon as I dial a number.

I then have to remove the battery to reboot the phone.

I tried different ROMs and different Radios. But the problem is still here.
[HD2 General] sazci:
Hi man, I halve also the same problem but also when I get more then about 200 recieved SMS and 200 sended SMS = 400 SMS total with ONE of my contact then my HTC HD2 starts to lag, espacially when I'm writing on the keyboard ohh veery big lag there.

Did you solve your problem? Because mine also freezes sometimes =/
[HD2 General] Harboe:
Hey guys

Mine is freezing to now. Sometimes I can get it to boot, but after a while it either freezes or reboots and stops at the white screen. I've tried task29, different radios and different roms, but can't find one that's stable.

Anyone have any tips for the most stable radio/rom?

EDIT: My HD2 was bought in Denmark.

Cheers

Flemming
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
how about deleting or archiving your texts off the phone....
[HD2 General] jrigga:
This will fix hd2 freezes and glitches!!!

ok I REALLY HOPE EVERYONE READS THIS!!!!! hands down to fix all these problems with freezes and weird stuff happening with the hd2...FLASH THE PHONE WITH A BURNED ROM!!! i did this yesterday the instructions and links to the Roms are actually found on tmobiles knowledge base..Go FIGURE im new to the forum so it wont let me post the direct link yet, but do a search in the knowledge base for how to root hack your hd2 and you will find the page with instructions and also the links for the other roms...you will have to also install HSPL on your phone first, if the link isnt on that page just google it.

I downloaded the energy modded rom from this page did the flash..and the phone is flawless!!! fast...the txting is more accurate and the even added some new functionality. I did alot of research and was going to try the droid os, but heard of issues...so i went this route being that i found it also on tmobiles own site...SO if you want all the little glitches with HTC sense to go away...flash the rom!!! bottom line! HOPE THIS HELPS!
[HD2 General] hugocbp:
Burned ROM? Did you mean CUSTOM ROM?

Anyway, I think it's settled that this is not a Sense problem. I myself have flashed about 5 or 6 senseless ROMs and still got freezes.
[HD2 General] g0chi:
My rom version is 1.72.841.0 and it still freezes ><

Can anyone help???
[HD2 General] cakira:
Hello!

My HD2 used to freeze a lot. But I installed a cooked ROM (in my case, it's Elegancia ROM with WM 6.5.x) and it's much much better.

It's not perfect yet. Sometimes it still freezes, but I guess that this is occurring due to some corruption in my files because I've magically lost the configuration some programs and then it started to freeze once in a while. But it's still way better than the original ROM.

Try some cooked ROM.

By the way, before trying a cooked ROM, I should check two things, I guess. 1) Check if the problem is not a program that you installed. Hard reset the phone and try using it without any new programs. 2) Pay attention to the FM Radio. It has some problems if you don't properly close it.

And, either if you find the problem or not, you should really try using a new ROM. It gave new life to my HD2.
[HD2 General] HansK1:
Hi Ciakira

Mine froze ten times a day or more. I sent it to repair and the repair replaced the motherboard --> :) NEVER froze again since 1 week. So I recommend to get you a new motherboard from HTC.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
my HD2 was freezing off and on. It wasnt happening often. Just rarely. Then it started happening more and more often. One hour I was using the phone fine then an hour later the phone completely went unresponsive. I did ROM and radio flashes and did a task29 before but nothing helped. I eventually sent my unit back in to Tmobile for a warranty replacement. Have not had any problems with this unit and the screen issues are not there any more either.

If possible I would say return it to your carrier for a warranty replacement or to HTC. If you return it to your carrier they shouldnt charge you except for shipping but make sure if you are using a cooked ROM you install the stock ROM using the SD Card so the SPL will be back to stock or else they might charge you a big fee!! For TMO USA they charge I think I was told $400
[HD2 General] pistol44:
My battery drained to 0% last night so threw it on the charger and rebooted. After getting into Sense it freezes within 30 sec randomly no matter what I'm doing with it or no matter what screen or app I'm in. I'm forced to soft reset and the routine continues over and over endlessly.

Obviously it's not an app or setting since it worked fine for months up until last night. Something appears to have become "corrupt". Strangely enough even restoring a working backup from Sprite Backup still did not resolve this freezing within 30 seconds problem.

If anyone has a real solid suggestion please advise :)
[HD2 General] georgi69:
@Pistol44 -> I had a similar situation - it also happened after battery got drained overnight, my device did not freeze however but always threw error that device.exe, services.exe or filesys.exe failed. Hard-reset (reset to factory default) was the "solution" for me but frankly - I did not put too much effort into looking for other way to make it working (maybe ~15 minutes) and my intention was to get the phone right back to reseller if hard-reset won't work because my expectations from a 500+€ device were completely different. I suggest to try a hard-reset and if it does not work return the phone and ask for your money back. That could be the best that could happen to you because HD2 ... is not a phone I would recommend to anyone after 1 year of experience.
[HD2 General] tranchiep:
When you open some apps but you don't quit or exit apps, so they are still running in background, to solve this issue, please go to Task Manager then end task all apps running. hope it help.
[HD2 General] syedtalat:
im a newbie and started using my HD2 LEO since 2 days,i bought it second hand,and it has a

MIRI HD2 ROM V 18.0 WWE

manila version 2.5.20161332,

the radio version is 2.08.50.07w

OS 5.2.21914

i had to unlock it after i got a code from the service provider to shift it to my service provider and ever since i have been getting this problem,

whenever i receive a new message on HTC messaging my phone screen blanks out and the buttons light up,and it wont start again anyway until i remove the battery and restart.now this doesn happen if the phone is in active use and only happens when it has been sleeping.

as im very new to HD2 i know very little of flashing ROMs and HSPL,and i worry id brick my phone, but i just want this freezing on incoming message to end.

is there a way???

thanks,ur advice wud be appreciated.
[HD2 General] georgi69:
tranchiep: It's not an issue, it is a feature.

syedtalat: HD2 is a piece of crappy brick, my one reduced the freeze ratio after flasing the official 3.14.* ROM - try the same (or one of latest releases from Miri which is based on this rom).
[HD2 General] Snaggles5675:
This is just c**p!

I've had this freezing problem with my HD2, for about six weeks now...

It switched-on and actually worked for 5 hours today! Well, when I say "worked", what I mean is that it was still switched on and hadn't locked up while I was out shopping. But within 10 minutes of setting the time and configuring WiFi, it froze again. So, battery out and back in. Now it won't even switch on!

I've read through various threads here (and other sites) and found so many posts from people with the lock up and freezing problem... so many suggestions for fixes too. But there seems to be nothing that actually fixes the problem. Every suggested "fix" is pretty quickly refuted by someone else. These problems and "fixes" have been going on for well over a year looking at the dates on the threads.

I have to say that from my experience (as well as many others) this HD2, has turned out a pile of poo! (ooh that rhymes!)

Surely a £400 piece of technology should just work and work reliably, without the necessity of trying this & that download, upgrade & revision etc! Or, without having to disable this feature or work around that problem. It should just work!

I had a very expensive (at the time) Nokia 6310i when it first came out in about 2000/2001. I know it didn't have a camera, play music, connect to the internet and have e-mail, weather and fancy graphics. But you know what? It worked... and it's still working now. I haven't had to upgrade it, flash it, download patches or disable certain features to make it work.. it just does!!

Seems like that reliability is just too much to ask in this "technologically advanced" world.

Now... where's that tin can and bit of string?
[HD2 General] huggs:
I would say that since you've tried just about everything imaginable, and nothing seems to work, that you probably have a defective phone.

Unfortunately, it seems this happens quite a bit with the HD2 compared with other smartphones. I would imagine this to be because they pack a bagillion parts into a very small space, thus making the manufacturing process very difficult and somewhat unreliable. Plus the HD2 has the 1st generation of snapdragon processors, which seem to be pretty temperature sensitive. I would say warranty return it if you can, surely the one they send back to you can't be any worse
[HD2 General] spinifex74:
I agree wholeheartedly.... this has to be one of the most pertinent posts I've EVER seen on a forum !!!

I'm sick of all the technology these days requiring the end-user to update, patch, fix, decode, test.

Manufacturers take note: TEST YOUR OWN FRIGGIN EQUIPMENT & PROVIDE RELIABLE GOODS TO THE CUSTOMER

I've had problems with my phone lately..... my original PVR played up so I replaced it with a different brand..... various computer parts don't work correctly.

I have NEVER had to reprogram or update my microwave oven or my digital receiver unit for my surround sound system - however these things have just as much technology and circuitry as a mobile fone.

Get it together manufacturers..... or the world will go back to the days of the old Nokia 3210. It simply worked.
[HD2 General] Snaggles5675:
Thanks for that, glad it's not only me!

I remember working for British Telecom in the 70's. A new phone or piece of equipment was tested and field trialled for months if not years, before it ever went near a paying customer.

Now the paying customers are the manufacturers "field triallers", and sod the consequences!
[HD2 General] maxxoros:
Me too...for this issue, I am suffering it days by days, even hang when making call, sms, or do nothing... I nearly go crazy for this

I want to throw my HD2 to the wall, break it into parts so no need to see this crap again..sorry but HD2 the most dumb phone I have used, waste of $ for such a unreliable @ss
[HD2 General] AdLoki:
I don't know if anyone else has been in the same situation as me but my HD2 was suddenly being very sluggish and would repeatedly freeze to the point where I had to remove the battery etc...

As it turns out, I had a voicemail outstanding to which I hadn't listened (to avoid T-Mob UK's ridiculous charge for checking VMs). When I listened to and deleted it and the VM icon had disappeared from the task bar, all of my speed problems resolved. My Leo is now lightning fast again!

So if your HD2 is suffering these (apparently common) problems, maybe try deleting your voicemails? It worked for me...

Apart from this issue and the limited battery life, I really like my Leo -- had it for about 9 months and am very pleased with it!

I am using ROM 1.72.110.4, Radio v2.07.51.22_2

Hi

This ia my first post here. I'm from Romania and I have a HTC HD 2 since december 2009. It froze up ever since. I turned for a few times and they returned it fixed, but in a few hours bingo, the same problem came up.

I flashed up a few custom roms but the same problem. I made the mistake to return it once with a custom rom up and i lost the warranty.

Now i flashed a android rom, Froyo, and it works without any problem.

And now what i think: HTC should have called back all the phones with problems, cause I think that the phone has problems with the internal hard disk. Why if i have the android on my card it works and when i use a rom instaled on the phone it freezes?

Happy New Year!!
