I have had the same problem sense I purchased on Mar 24th, after trying to restore the devise 4 times within a 2 week period, I finally took it back and exchanged it for a new one, less than 24 hours, the new one froze up on me too. I searched through many forums such as this, and found that many users are having the same problem, I also read in one that the cause may be in the SD card that comes with the devise (the way it's formatted for use with it), so, 4 days ago, I removed the SD card, and the devise has worked flawless, no freeze ups, and for the last 2 days, I have not turned the devise off, and still no freeze ups. I plan on giving it a week, and if it does not freeze up on me, I'll put the card back in. I reformatted the SD card to get rid of the Double twist program, and the other apps such as the demo games, and put my music, Documents, and Photos back on it, hoping that it will work as a normal SD card when I put it back in.

Give it a try as I did, it just may be that simple fix everyone has been looking for.

Also, just for info, I'm running the stock USTMO ROM, with Cookies Home tab version 1.7 on it, Awesome and Flawless, if you don't want to flash a new ROM, you have got to at least install this add on.

I'll keep you posted on whether or not my test is successful or not

happen to me twice here's what I did removed the battery for 15 - 20 mins works fine after that.
[HD2 General] xtenpeben:
i've seen people buying faster sdcards and they've notice differences on how the phone works. I'm bout to buy class 6 sdcard this coming week.

but anyhow, i've had this problem for like twice since i bought the phone. I think some of the culprit is leaving 3rd party apps or games opened then pressing the home key. I think the phone is getting confused on what to draw/show in the screen. That time that my phone froze up on me on that lockscreen thing was when i was playing chop sushi then went back to home and accidentally locked the phone. The phone never went back on. The other one i can remember was when i was playing bejeweled 2. in both cases, i was playing a game, then went to home screen to check a message that came in, then having my phone locked.
[HD2 General] lee1019:
Funny you mentioned that. My phone does this about 6 times a day. Just now it occoured again. instead of removing the battery, I removed the SD card. it awaked as normal. this generally happens to me when I'm listening to music (located on the SD card), and try to wake it for a track change or I get a call and screen turns off as it is placed to my face. I have other SD cards, I'll be trying those on this phone with general use to test results.

In the mean time. Since other roms have removed this issue, is there anyone who can isolate the issue in the stock rom and fix it?
[HD2 General] Raadius:
Well, just to let you guys know, I'm on a stock T-mobile US HD2 rom, I have no 3rd party programs installed, and I always make sure there is NOTHING running in the background. The phone is a freezing machine lol, I've never encounter sooo many freezes on any phone I ever own, and I've owned a lot.

It just froze for about 10secs while typing a text back to my fiancee, ugh. I have now taken the sim out and put it in my iPhone.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Have you a) done a hard reset, and b) tried running for a while without the SD card that came with the phone? Each of those has restored stability for some owners.
[HD2 General] davewaave:
6 times just today

This is becoming a joke. Probably 6 times I've had to pull the battery Today. I'm totally stock tmous rom, no games, minimal other stuff. I took out sd card, moved data, full reformat, then put it in phone and did a "format sd card" in the phone, then transferred most of the data back on to card. NO change. I had an 8gb card which I tried last week. NO change. This is really absurd. Paid $500 for this turd. I'm gonna wear out the rubber sleeve removing it so often. Hope someone figures this out. Good luck to us all.

Hardreset 20x also.
[HD2 General] glcK23:
Never had this problem.
[HD2 General] Raadius:
I'm on my 3rd hard reset, haven't tried the SD Card Removal, will do that now, thanks!
[HD2 General] alooohaboy:
So far I guess I have been lucky. I bought 2 for one and no freeze ups I did replace one because the speaker stopped working two days out of the box but no freeze ups. I wonder what is the difference. mine is completely stock from Tmobile.

Maybe I am not using enough of the features to cause the freeze.Sorry you guys are having such a time with your phones that truly sucks...

Aloha Paul
[HD2 General] brownhornet:
And folks said I was "exaggerating" when I said this was a major issue with a lot of these phones.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I think somebody at HTC and/or T-mobile will soon put 2 & 2 together and realize that a large number of the issues people are reporting with the HD2 are being caused by a sub-standard batch of SD cards installed in the phones :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Raadius:
Doubt it's the SD card, more like Sense UI. I tried the SD Card thing like you told me, didn't work. I'm sure, no, matter fact I'm positive its Sense UI, because when I ran just MS Today, phone was fine.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Well yeah I agree that Sense is a major resource hog and nowhere near as stable as it could be....but above and beyond that even on this device there's evidence that the SD card is the source of some people's lockups and other issues. That obviously won't apply to everybody, but it's happening more often than just coincidence.
[HD2 General] Raadius:
I got my second HD2 last night, around 7:30PM PST, this phone is not even 30 hours old and it's already crashed on me more than 10x. I have taken some videos with my iPhone (sorry about the quality, it's a 2G iPhone using Cycorder) and now posting it here and soon on my YouTube page, but these constant errors are ridiculous.

As of right now T-mobile is not letting me exchange for a Nexus One because my 30 days up but 2.5 weeks out of that 30 days I was waiting for another HD2 because they were out of stock (I called my Tmo store on the 13th day to let them know my issues and I wanted to exchange). Plus the manager doesn't believe my first HD2 is having problems. Well, now here is my second HD2.

Call up tmobile customer loyalty if you've been with them for a while...
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
Raadius,

Try running the phone without HTC-Sense and see how it works. Also, do what others have suggested and try running the phone without the SD card. This will at least help you pin point where the problem is. But damn, I would be pissed off to no end if I bought a brand spanking new phone that had such crazy problems.

Good luck!
[HD2 General] brownhornet:
Honestly i'd refuse to do either of these things as its just not acceptible.
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
Brownhornet,

I agree with you. It is not acceptable to have to put up with it. However, I'm asking you to do it for the purposes of testing and identifying where exactly the problem lies. That is all. Once you have the knowledge of where the problem is coming from, keep calling the CSR and flood them until their internal departments are aware of this.
[HD2 General] Raadius:
Yes, I've been with them for 7 years. I never heard of 'Loyalty', what's that?!
[HD2 General] anx7501:
I am a long time HTC phone owner, have had an unlocked UK HD2 without any problems and thus reccommended buying the T-mo version to my family. We did the buy one get one free deal twice (got four phones). I upgraded? to the T-Mo one (for 3-G and more storage) and mine froze - identical to the video in post 1. While the other three users were lightweights, they put in their sim, added a few phone numbers, and took a few pics on the stock (unformatted) card I put a-lot of stuff on my phone and on the (formatted) card. None of their phones froze, mine however, had a half full 16gb card with thousands of small files, music, pics, movies and froze constantly. After a hard reset, with the card in it froze consistently, without the card it did not.

THE POINT OF ALL THIS IS...

It's not just about the card but the amount of data on it - three phones with stock cards worked fine (as some others in this forum claim) while mine did not - like post 1. For those with problems - Did you copy a-lot of data to the card in terms of number of files? If so this could be the root of the problem. On a card with LOTS of small files, the T-Mo phone creats LOTS of files under \\Storage Card\Application Data\docimage\ - the unlocked UK HD2 did not do this and does not have the same problem. I think it builds a database of mages of every .pdf, .xls, .doc file on the card & phone for the Sense Document viewer. With hundreds of files it probably bugs out - and freezes.

I want to pin this down, for those of you whose phone froze- please post if you copied a few gig worth of small files (1-5 mb/file) to the card.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I've been thinking of partitioning my 16GB card that came with the phone. Since I have never tried doing that before with a Windows Mobile device, I am wondering:

Will the phone see every partition as a separate card, assuming I use the standard FAT system?

Will this help with the "too much data" issue?

Does Windows Mobile use the same lame-ass system of fragmentation as Windows PC did instead of a real file system like a decent OS would?
[HD2 General] Okadesde:
I don't know if it will help anyone.

My hd2 only freezes when I'm listening to music and the screen lock gets activated. It will play the the music for 1 minute after the lock, but then freezes completely.

I disabled the auto-lock and now the music plays fine all day long and has no "hiccups".

Rom: CleanEX UniQ 1.15

Mods: GTX Team - 1.7.1 WVGA
[HD2 General] alsalahi:
I had same problem when i bought my phone first it came out. But now it works so smooth and no problems and here is what I did:

I formated my SD, flashed stock and more importantly I REMOVED music tap ( inoticed it was using over %90 of cpu). Now I have only Home, People, Messages, Weather, Setting and Calander. P.S, use windows mobile to play your music instead of htc music player....do what i did and let me know if things improve.:)
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
alsalahi, did/do you keep all your music on the card? Was it a lot? this seems to support my theory that indexing of SD card contents by sense (and particularly the music tab) is at the root of a lot of these similar issues...compounded by the low speed (class-2) of the stock card

Sleep of Death relation to Cingular 8525

This thread sparked my memory and I recalled something I previously had forgotten:

I used to own a Cingular 8525 with WMo 5.something. It would lock up so frequently, and so reliably, with a memory card inserted that I had to operate the phone as if it had no expandable memory at all.

I think this is a hand-me-down bug from previous generations of WMo that has never truly been addressed. My HD2 running a custom ROM (Energy "Standard Sense" 23566) and have at least two "Sleeps of Death" per day.

I am going to remove the memory card and see if my problem disappears.

Lock on wake up

Guys, have been reading through this thread and thought I would add a suggestion. I purchased a new hd2 from tmous the day of release and have been using it ever sense. I did however experience 2-3 freezes on waking the phone from sleep as many of you are describing. After experimenting with both my hd2 and my wifes which also had the same problem, I found that the hd2's default lockscreen seems to be the problem, or at least part of it. I have disabled the default lockscreen and downloaded a program call s2u2, it is basically a thirdparty lockscreen replacement. I haven't had a single lockup on waking the phone ever sense, and it has been over a month. May be something to look into.
[HD2 General] Jalopy:
HD2

Hello,

I had very similar problemsLocking on wake ,crashing 3-4 times a day, Crashing when you press the home button

etc etc. . .

At that point I had

Morphgear

Anastasia Theme - (not sure if it was phone or software but something was buggy here)

Starcraft

Zenonia

BSB Tweaks

I have been using my HD2 now without any hiccups since about 5 days ago

What I did to rectify my situation was

1)Format SD or just do a factory reset

2)Disabled GPS (everything including HTC)

3)Disabled Bluetooth, 3G, etc with WM longlife when I was not using the phone (what an awsome app)

4) Deleted all of my messages (and turned on auto delete when I do delete them . . damn trash)

5) Installed Cleanram

Dunno if this will help anyone but it fixed mine.
[HD2 General] TrekkerJmm:
My HD2 T-Mo Stock ROM did it once and I formatted the SD card on my phone then deleted all the movie and Demo game shortcuts from the phone with Activesync and have not had a problem since...Tj
[HD2 General] alsalahi:
yes i keep all my music on the card and yes they are lot; over 1000 music..check your cpu % when using htc music tap.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yup, exactly :) I think the music tab re-indexes your SD card to find and list all the music on it, and it does this regularly. That's why it pegs out the proc % all the time, especially when there's a lot of files on the card (even if they're not all music). More files = heavier processor load for indexing = LAG ;)

EDIT: I think that the "recent documents" tab indexes the card just the same, but I haven't tested that yet (I don't use that tab, yet...)

AND...I also suspect that this indexing kicks in again whenever the phone first starts to wake from standby, and may bog down the phone down enough overall right then to lock it, and cause the "Sleep of Death"
[HD2 General] Jackdog89:
I can confirm this. I had the same freezing issue when waking the phone from standby. I also was experiencing an issue with the phone locking during calls. I couldn't use the keypad or even end the call. All of these issues went away when I disabled the auto lock function on the phone.

(I'm going to give the s2u2 app that you recommended a try since I do miss not having the auto lock feature.)

The text messaging tab never completely froze on me while using it, but it did stutter on occasion. I got rid of the tab and use the messaging icon that I placed as a quick link and it seems to work better than the sense tab.

I also disabled the album and music tabs for the same reason. I use an album quick link and windows media player quick link instead. Viewing my photos this way still creates lag (long loading time), but I still have the stock SD card. The class 2 (lower speed) rating on the card is whats causing the bottleneck. But, by not having access to the album on the sense tab at least it's not slowing down the OS and locking up the phone.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
This happened to me today, and I called my hd2 from my work phone which seemed to revive my HD2. I don't know if anyone has tried doing that as a temp fix...
[HD2 General] Nibbley15:
Try turning off "Automatically adjust backlight"; it saves on power and seems to work for a bunch of people; if you goto the original "Sleep of Death" thread.
[HD2 General] DrewVL:
Am i the only person that using stock rom having no freezing issues or so many other problems?? (wait i lied i had the sms send issues but the new rom fix that)

The only problem im having with is with GTX theme and Anastasia icons, theme, etc so i unstalled them all just keep Cookies :) and everything running smoothly :D
[HD2 General] romraker:
Lock registry setting removed in new rom

re-add DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0 to registry in HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd

to be able to remove lock when you have it disabled but still locks.

Use CeRegEditor. DeviceLockWhenSuspend is missing.

something fishy about sd card

OK I have the tmobile htc hd2. Had my phone for about 2 months now. Installed resco file explorer, cookies home tab editor along, bsb tweak during that time and everything was fine. Phone would freeze once in a while. I did not update my rom to 2.13 until today when my phone was freezing almost every minute just doing simple things like trying to send text message in landscape mode. So that's when I decided to update my rom. The update seems to be fine havn't really noticed a big difference except probably like everyone was saying not as responsive with the finger touch as before. I would have to push or tap my screen two times. After installing the apps back on it like cookies, bsb and resco I tried to send text message and the phone would freeze up again. I had the battery cover off and when I took out the sd card it was work fine. I saw postings on the tmobile forum regarding bad sd card but nothing proven. All I want to know if any of you that are having freezing issues have you tried pulling out your sd card to see if it stops. Because I think it has to do with the sd card. As soon as i put it back in and attempt to send a text message it freezes every time. Haven't had time to open any other apps like text message to see if it freezes but taking out the sd card make the phone works without the lock up. Im going to try and reformat my sd card as someone suggested and see what happens. If that doesn't work I might have to buy another sd card (class 6) this time to see if that helps.
[HD2 General] efjay:
Had this happen for the first time today since purchase on launch day. Using the latest stock rom.
[HD2 General] dio62000:
I'm having the same issue (already reported about it in a few other threads). I'm using stock ROM 1.66 (not T-Mobile USA version!).

And both solutions mentioned here seemed to work for me (randomly??): taking out SD card (16 gb) or pushing on the screen/hardware buttons/htc logo (maybe related; pushing the device means pushing the SD card a little???).

I even reflashed the stock ROM (as long as I don't know if it's hardware related I won't ry any other ROM), but as soon as I had flashed my phone and before even finishing the wizard the same problem occured (screen is not responsive).

So in the end I've put back my latest backup, will turn off the screen lock and see what will happen in the next few days (although no screen lock isn't really an option). S2U2 seemed to work at first, but after a while same problem occured :rolleyes:.
[HD2 General] buzz killington:
I have the exact opposite problem. Damn phone keeps waking up on it's own. Started last night when it just turned on, and it's been doing that all day. Pretty sure it happened when I changed the wait time to turn off screen and standby. Still, a bug in the OS.
[HD2 General] earhog:

lock

Hi; i also have the same problem; first with wm6.5, and now i am using android on sd , every 24-48 hs, or when is charging the phone is locked and only ok if reboot or pull out the batery; so i think the problem isn´t in the software ( the same problem in wm6.5 and android?)
[General Topics] frankp124:
I am aware that At&T is now applying data plans to every smart phone activated this year. I wanted to get my hands on the Tilt 2 and I found a couple of web sites selling the product for a steal. The problem is I never use data and don't often use the wi fi but I loved my tilt and it is on its last days. I want to stick to something as close as possible.

anyone know any loop holes to get a smartphone without the data plan?
[General Topics] xhozt:
they are starting to force you onto a plan if they detect a "smartphone" on the network they will add it regardless. sry .
[General Topics] maxh:
If you had your tilt on the line without a data plan last september, you may be OK. For people using smartphones without smarphone plans when they implemented the new policy (last september) they applied a feature to the accounts called "smartphone exclusion", effectively grandfathering them into not requiring data plans. If you have this feature, you can switch your SIM card into smartphones without a data plan automatically being added. However, if you buy a smartphone from AT&T, you'll lose your smartphone exclusion. So it's best to buy off of craigslist/ebay/google only.
[General Topics] frankp124:
yes i dont currently have it. that is what I was told when I bought my tilt but obviously they told me a different date at that time. I also have heard that att can track what phone you are using based on the imei of the phone :mad:...so it doesnt sound good for those who dont need data plans but want smartphones

found a real good price on the tilt 2 from amazon

Good evening...

I was just wondering if it is theoretically possible for me to host a web page using some sort of http daemon on my eris? Has anybody heard of this elsewhere I searched around on this forum and did not find anything relevant.

Thanks,

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
Completely possible, I have compiled an httpD for an ARM device before, I will have to look it up.

Now my question, why?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triphumphrey:
Very Evil reasons...

nah I am just curious and it would be pretty cool to have...it coudl possibly interface with the phone's sensors and give us realtime information about the phone in our browser...for example our own theft recovery methods or battery info just random stuff really.

This is the problem of having ideas and having zero programming knowledge.

my g1 is rooted with no service plan. i cant send mms. how do i send it? plz help!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Press1Now:
when you say no service plan i assume you mean no data plan, and i assume this is on T-Mobile. There use to be a work around until T-Mobile plugged it up. So there is no current work around on this unless you get a data plan.
