I'm having this freezing issue all of a sudden, it work perfectly for about 2 months, after that all of a sudden it freeze for the first time and continue to freeze when CPU load, the problem getting serious day by day.

I'm not sure its a hardware or software problem

I've tried flashing to latest official ROM and Cooked ROM, it doesn't fix anything.

remove SIM Card, SD Card, both doesn't work.

Disable Sense only reduce CPU load, which help not to freeze on the home tab only.

Hard reset does not help. Cleaning both battery pin and SIM contact pin, fully discharge and recharge battery doesn't help too.

If it's a PC, this problem normally have something to do with CPU, RAM or heat problem.

I noticed the phone normally freeze when it's warm. I've tried cool the phone by air-cond and it will not freeze with any heavy cpu usage apps. So I think it has something to do with heat.

I've tried declock the CPU and run some apps, it still freeze. I suspect it has something to do with the RAM.

Does anyone had their phone freeze when it's ice cold? (I mean software freeze :p )
[HD2 General] skunz35:
Install an android rom on your phone and it instantly becomes the best phone you've ever bought :)
[HD2 General] mikka1986:
you mean WM6.5 not good?
[HD2 General] skunz35:
WM6.5 was okay, I just enjoy android more, its all personal preference, for the most part I think alot of people here would say android runs alot better than WM but I could have just never flashed the right rom who knows
[HD2 General] mikka1986:
I think I just fixed the freezing problem.

I fully charged the battery and then constantly stress the cpu with games and videos. Once it freeze, I remove the battery and put it back to reset. I had the battery cover removed all the time for easy access to the battery.

Constantly stress > freeze > reset > stress, until the battery is totally drain.

after that I recharged the battery to full and didn't experience any freezing.
[HD2 General] bafxyz:
I have the same problem with the brand new device, the problem is that i'm not live in USA to do the warranty repair. Then i leave my phone in cold it works perfect. If cpu temperature is 30(celsius) or more then phone go to reboot and stuck's at Stick Together screen. And i took battery from another working HD2. It doesn't help me. I think the solution is to change the mainboard. If someone know where to buy original one please provide me some information. Thank you!
[HD2 General] Anárhér:
Hi, im a brazilian hd2 user and sadly my hd2 had the same problem. But i cant get a new hd2 cause the htc suport dont suport me (if they suport, its too expensive to send my device to us). I think that what you did is similar to the way some guys used to get their x360 with 3rl back to life: Stress it till the device get so hot that the welding (ok, i dont know if its possible, i just read this) melts and freeze again and pray that the x360 works again.

Small chance of success, great chance to burn my phone. Ok, Ill try it. (Ill try SetCPU stress mode)
[HD2 General] georgi69:
Guys, IMO the issue is clearly software related. I bought the device in November 2009 and suffered for almost 1 year until ROM version 3.14.x has been released. In fact it frozen "deeply" ;) only 1 time since the upgrade which is already almost 3 months so the reliability increased dramatically. Of course 1x in 3 months is still a lot more than expected from a 539€ phone (my original price) but still better than in the beginning.

My recommendation: Go and get the 3.14.x ROM for your device.
[HD2 General] 3octaves:
Well folks I have had it to here with this stinking hd2. I can't believe I was so stupid as to buy a windows phone when I hate MS and their software. The useless thing freezes constantly, it will not connect to wifi, I can't play a movie or my music without it freezing and having to have the battery pulled out. What a piece of junk. I am over it, I will not ever buy a HTC phone again.
[HD2 General] Anárhér:
Unfortunately its not true, ive tried all kind of wm 6.5 roms , wp7, android 2.2 or android 2.3.

And all radios versions too =/
[HD2 General] mikka1986:
Anyone tried running games on andriod 2.2 without freezing?
[HD2 General] controlpete:
I had the same problem with one of energy rom. Today morning I've changed for mdj's cyanomodgen and everything is perfect so far.
[HD2 General] mikka1986:
I just flash it to WP7, and it doesn't help anything. Love the animation...

I tried run some heavy apps, it freeze and restart by itself, after that it constantly self reboot at DFT screen.

In the mean time, I'll test out WP7 :)
[HD2 General] distruct:
Send your phone back! This is for sure not related to an OS. With latest stock wm 6.5 ROM correctly installed everything should be working. If not it's an hardware failure.
[HD2 General] pickpocket:
The fact that I have the same software loaded on mine and my wife's HD2s and hers works without any problems, tells me that it's not a software but hardware problem. I'm getting my motherboard replaced ASAP.
[HD2 General] JasonInMelbourne:
Check the number of SMS's you have

Hi Guys,

I've had my Telstra ROM HD2 since about May '10 and it had been working flawlessly until a couple of weeks ago when it would occasionally slow down, but not annoyingly so. Then, last week, it froze. I soft reset it and it restarted like it was a fresh phone out of the box. I restored it from a 10-day old back up but it kept on freezing or the slider screen would jam and required me to press the Restart button or pull our and re-insert the battery.

Like others, I noticed that services.exe was going crazy, often at 20+mb RAM and 99% of CPU and just locking up the phone. Then I noticed that Windows screens (e.g. Start or Settings) would still be working fine. So I put it down to HTC Sense being the culprit.

I couldn't figure out what the problem was until another in this thread mentioned that their brand new phone was fine until they loaded it up with 2000+ pre-existing texts from anotehr Window Mobile device using MyPhone. The same thing happened to me.

So I did some housekeeping and culled my 2000-odd SMS's down to around 600 and it's working fine for now. Services.exe hardly moves above 5% and is now only about 6mb.

Anyway, my 2 cents worth. Hope it helps someone.

Hi Folks,

Just a thought, for some of us who works at areas where cameras are not allowed. Instead of parting with our beloved Android babies even for just 5 hours, are there anyway we can remove / disable cameras in 32A/32B?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Meltus:
Chances are, if your job requires you to leave your phone at home because it has a camera, just disabling it wont be enough. You will most likely need to physically remove the camera module.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChillyEli:
If you go ahead and install the 2.0 ROM for the 32A, the camera apk is not working. But more then likely that is not enough as your managers are more then likely going to believe that as much as you saying "I promise I won't take pictures with this".

Best bet would be to leave it in your car.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] efex:
what we did at my company was, we took a nail and scratched the camera lens so badly, its useless to tace pictures with. So if you dont care if you can restore it or not, this could be a way. Ask your security team if they will allow you to use the phone before you scratch it thou :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] r3s-rt:
that is beyond retarded.

most people got it. cell phones are so advanced these days there's really no way to tell if your camera actually works or not without them personally knowing your phone as you do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mlambert890:
This question comes up a lot and I never see an actual answer. So is there basically no way to disable the camera service?

There is also a broader question regarding policy control of Android services. RIM, WinMo, even the iPhone, allow control via policy. IT groups and security groups are satisfied if the device can be controlled via policy and a service locked out. They don't get into 12 hour debates about how you can technically reflash the device, hack around the policy lock, how policy locks arent 100% effective, whatever. Basically, a device typically is going to need to have control through policy to be useful in an enterprise setting. Does Android really have no facility for this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jvincent66:
It is beyond simple to have a policy that disable the camera. All you need to do is remove/uninstall the camera app or drivers and if it were a corporate phone they would do this.

But by the same token it is equally simple to reinstall the camera app, or reflash the phone.

That is why the security people at places which have hard restrictions on cameras, typically military type places, are only satisfied with the 100% solution, i.e. no camera physically installed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Too Tall:
I just downloaded and installed the ROM update(1.48.409) and SD card, Calendar view, SMS function, and digital Picture enchantment hotfixes.

The problem is that my Lock screen/slide to unlock screen is now gone.

I can press any of the physical buttons, and my device turns on.

This is very annoying when I have the device in my pocket.

Could anyone tell me how to get the Slide to unlock screen back?

Thanks!:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
YES lol

You could have first searched the forums, saved yourself a post, and not created ANOTHER redundant thread, but here's what you do...

Go to the start menu, select lock (bottom left softkey).

It works after you do that. :)

Incidentally, if you ever have it that you press an email preview in the email tab, and it doesn't open the email, this is the same problem. The fix applies to both issues.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Too Tall:
Well, I did try to search the forum, but didn't find anything:o

Anyway, thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sagittarius1218:
I had the same problem.

Start and then press lock!

After that it started to work properly again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
So, basically, the suggestion from above works?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kentckm:
U can just tap on start, that on lock (bottom left). From now on your phone lock will work again (and also opening e-mails from preview).
[G1 General] dmolition:
So I have no idea how long i been having this problem but i barely decided to look for help, as you can see on the picture the voice search does not show up anywhere, i have no idea how this happened or when, i have CM latest, and i been having this problem with 3 themes so i know its not a theme problem, I really dont want to erase everything just to get it so if anyone can help I will appreciate it.
[G1 General] evilkorn:
If it works with stock settings, it's the theme because everyone else doesn't have this problem.
[G1 General] dmolition:
Is there a way to activate it without having to do a factory reset?

I have stock settings and I'm pretty sure there is no way to disable on the settings.
[G1 General] evilkorn:
By settings I mean the 'default skin'. Just flash theme template from his thread.
[G1 General] dmolition:
Sorry for my ignorance but do you mean flashing the mod again? Because I updated and the problem is still there. If not what am I supposed to do?

And thanks for the reply.
[G1 General] dmolition:
I fixed it, all i had to is to restore to stock donuts without wiping data, then apply CM and then again the theme, ha I cant believe it was that easy.

:D
[HD2 General] bibbe:
when i have lots of sms for one contact it take ages to reply to that contact..... :confused::( any solution..........
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Errr, the hotfix on the HTC website and in the sticky about hotfix rollup...
[HD2 General] bibbe:
i ve installed all all hotfixes on the htc website... still noluck
[HD2 General] bibbe:
i have already installd that but still it takes long time to reply because it takes long time to load all the sms from that contact..... any solution for this???
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
There is a workaround, which isn't ideal but it does work. As the messages are loading, tap on one of them so that it opens up the menu (Forward, Delete etc). Leave this open for about 1 second, then tap the 'close' softkey. It would appear that while this menu is displayed, the HD2 is able to load up all the messages quickly.

As I said, it's not ideal but it's something to try.

This bug and the contacts bug need to be sorted by HTC pretty damn soon.
[HD2 General] bibbe:
thats how i am using it now....

man...... HTC need to come up with something real fast......
[HD2 General] Archer:
You could just turn off HTC messaging and use the native windows app, for now. It has a couple of foibles, but works perfectly well and is an ideal solution until the HTC version gets fixed.
[HD2 General] bibbe:
thanx johncmolyneux

can you also help me on a nother issu....?

i am trying to have a different font on my HTC HD2 so that i can view some website after i installed the font to windows font folder my facebook app is giving me problems its taking the new font.... :(:(
[HD2 General] Archer:
You must have replaced an existing font for that to happen. I'm afraid you can't have 2 fonts with the same name, so you can only view either the website OR facebook.

If you tell me what file it was then I'll give you a copy of the original.
[HD2 General] bibbe:
if i remove the .ttf files i installed its work fine. but when i put them back its not working i ve tried several times (by default windows font folder is empty)
[HD2 General] bibbe:
and i have not replaced any font during the process

i hope there is a solution for this cos only facebook app is giving me a problem......
[HD2 General] Archer:
Strange. I always assumed that fonts worked in the same way as on a PC.

I guess there's a default version of a font somewhere and windows is using that, but when you put a different version in the font folder it uses that instead.

It may be worth asking about this in the generic forum, rather than a leo specific forum.

Either one of these will probably help, but I think the 1st one is probably the correct place to ask...

You should have more luck in one of those places :)
[Hero CDMA General] razat:
hey there just wanted to share my experience for those who might have the same problem. I tried using force EVDO mode (default is hybrid) and could no longer receive calls or text until i called someone. (calling out worked). I also read that someone had the same problem in force 1x mode. Just a heads up since it took me a while to figure out what was wrong. Not sure if others have had this problem and couldnt find it in any searches.
[Hero CDMA General] washjayb:
I had the same issue withing the first 30 days of release and actually returned two non Google branded phones. Tech support was unable to figure out why i was not receiving calls and advised me to return them. They tried rebuilding my account, re-provisioning ect. I only figured out what was going on after i was unable to get a call on the third phone immediately after changing the setting to evdo only. that was november 2nd and i have not had any issues since.
[Hero CDMA General] razat:
still happens on google branded phones. I too did the whole reprovisioning, factory reset, nandroid restores, and finally got a new phone. Tech support does not know about this problem.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
i searched this a while back, when i got a "web page unavailable error" in the browser when i was trying to browse the internet during a call.

basically what i found out (google searching) is that our phones send calls and texts over the 1x data network. and the phone is unable to connect to both evdo and 1x at the same time.

that's why every time you send a text it drops down to 1x for a second and when you are in a call you cant use the internet.

some phones can do it but the sprint hero cannot.

i'll try to find the link to the article i was reading, but you can find it by searching google.

EDIT:

http://androidforums.com/sprint/10700-call-surfing-same-time-possible-not.html

here is just one post from another forum.

that's why you have to leave that setting on hybrid, because in order to send calls/texts the phone has to switch networks.

hope this helps
[Hero CDMA General] kylez64:
Just to clear something up

Google branded or not its the same damn phone. absolutly nothing different between the two besides the branding

And yes, CDMA cannot connect to data while on a call but I thought text could be sent through EVDO. Ive d/l files quite a bit and when I recieve a text it countinues to download with what no interference.

I see that as a Sprint issue, or if the phone is defective in some way. If anyone is experiance this issue, try to load a custom rom or if you are on one flash the RUU and if that doesnt help contact Sprint.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
there are differences, i have a htc branded phone and it came with 1.29 firmware. the google branded phones now have the 1.56 firmware, as they do not make the htc branded phones anymore. there are probably more differences also...

the question is not if you can send texts and download files at the same time, its if you can receive calls/texts while locked out of the 1x network.

its not really a issue, unless they advertised that you could call be on a call and surf the web (which they do not) or if they advised you to change the setting in question from hybrid to EVDO. (which they do not)
[Hero CDMA General] intx:
CDMA 3G doesn't currently support receiving text or calls in EVDO.

EVDO is used for data only.

Every time you call or send/recieve a text, it switches to 1X, no matter what.

Hence, why you are able to recieve them when calling voicemail.

GSM phones have this capability, and while technically CDMA can, no CDMA carrier has the ability active(it's a network issue).

Forcing EV is good if you want uninterrupted data, but to recieve any calls or texts you will need to either dial out, or switch to a hybrid/1x mode.

Fact.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
just got off the chat with sprint, they said, (after a long pause)

12/29/2009 11:53:58PM	ME: "just wondering"

12/29/2009 11:57:09PM	Agent (Myquan): "I do apologize but the option to place a call and browse the web at the same time, this is not one of the options provided on the sprint network, I do apologize for this inconvenience."

12/29/2009 11:57:43PM	Agent (Myquan): "This option may possibly be available in the near future."

12/29/2009 11:58:13PM	ME: "will my hero support this?"

12/29/2009 11:59:32PM	Agent (Myquan): "Absolutely! if we receive a software upgrade for htc phones allowing this feature this will be available for your Hero."

12/29/2009 11:59:50PM	ME: "sweet"

:confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA General] intx:
4G supports it.

Hero isn't a 4G phone.

So unless they decide to expand their 3G to allow it to do this, that's a no.
[HD2 General] alberto.melita:
Can someone please explain me how do I change this three buttons in the HTC Sense home screen?

I've been looking since yesterday, but i could not find any clue!

Thanks a lot,
[HD2 General] jamesfongster:
Hi,

Menu=>Remove Quick Links..remove the top 3 Quick Links (which will always be the 3 that appears in your Home page).

You now have 3 empty Quick link boxes to assign new apps to.

Hope that's what you're after..:)

Regards,

http://vilivboys.wordpress.com
[HD2 General] alberto.melita:
Hi it's exactly this, only I can't find "Remove Quick Links" under the start menu!
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's not under the start menu. It's under "Menu", the bottom-right softkey.
[HD2 General] alberto.melita:
Really thank you!

I think I'll learn the ancient Aramaic only to curse myself...

...it would take me less time than what I've spent to look for this key that was under my nose!

:D
[HD2 General] Archer:
Haha - I think that may be a slight exaggeration, but glad you got it sorted. :)
[HD2 General] novalistic:
Hi there,

There are total 9 quick links, 3 x 3 rows,

2 x 3 hidden below, just use your finger flip the 1 row upwards . . .

:D:D
[HD2 General] moin786:
ok so how is it possible to remove the calender and quick links area from the home screen...i dont need them and i want to free up space on my home screen...
[HD2 General] dryden:
OK - slightly related question. I have just (this afternoon) got an HD2 on Virgin UK and so far I'm very happy. I'm trying to change the buttons and have found the delete area etc and can change them BUT the third button on the main screen seems to be locked to Virgin Media. Does anyone know of a way to change this?
[HD2 General] secable:
hi all,

i have Some problem with the proximity sensor.

when i lanch a call, first i put the phone near My head, the phone goes black,

but 2 seconds after, when It start tonning (ringing in the speaker) the phone wake up.

if i put It off and back It goes off.

but when the person answer, It's the same thing, the phone wake up. and i must put It off the head and back.

if i dont do this i cut All people 3 or 4 times.

if i receive a call, no problem.

i know some people have already post same problem with proximity sensor, but nobody explain it.

if someone can help me to fix it.

(sorry for my English ;) )
[HD2 General] secable:
im sorry but I really need help :(
[HD2 General] tossero:
Hi ! I`m so sorry but I cant help you. The proximity sensor did act strange on me with no obvious reason and I was forced to hard reset ... :(

Cordialement ,

Sergiu
[HD2 General] secable:
Even if i hard reset, there is no change.

If i call someone, on each step the phone switch on :

when start ringing ... and after when the person answer ...

is there a registry to edit, or maybe a ROM update ?? im in 1.43

But if i update the ROM i'll loose my orange tv player app
[HD2 General] tossero:
You may try to flash another ROM at your choice ...
[HD2 General] Archer:
I know this might sound a strange question, but do you have long hair?

I only ask as this issue has been raised by a few other people, and most of them have said it either happens with their girlfriends (who have long hair), or that they have long hair.

I have short hair and I literally couldn't be more impressed with the proximity sensor.
[HD2 General] secable:
lol, no ...

i' ve short hair.

i tried with the finger hidding the proximity sensor, and i can see when the phone start ringing it wake up, and the same thing when the person answer, or answering machin.

so it's a software problem.

i tried to update the ROM, and it says it can't update :(

maybe because i'm on French Orange ROM .

i'm sure if i can update with RUU rom, it will work fine after
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
I have this problem occasionally. It seems the proximity sensor somehow cooperates with G-sensor, because last time I had this problem I was lying in bed while calling, and screen simply did not turn of. But when I turned the phone vertically, and back, it started to work. Very strange.
[HD2 General] secable:
so i upload the ROM to an officialy 1.48 (i have no orange rom and app now)

but still the same problem.

the phone goes black, but wake up when start ringing, and same when the person answer the call :(

i need help, because each time i cut always the call if my hear touch "end call".

now to keep the call i put it back from my head and back to when start ringing, and i do the same 5 seconds later when the person answer.

and after its ok, the phone stay off

:(

i love this phone, but i'm sad :( :( :(
[HD2 General] lovanova:
I guess it's a bug HTC will have to fix at some time. I've read it can happen to all ROMs.

But for the meantime, there's a workaround. You can install S2U2, it's a nice program. and one of its features allows you to choose "blank screen on talk". Never fails. Try it. No more accidental button clicks.
[HD2 General] secable:
Thx a lot i'll try it (try to find it before :p )

maybe someone can make a soft to have a slide to unlock while calling ??!!

but i'll try your soft and tell you :)
