[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunerclaps:
I'm a former HD2 user, now converted to the Nexus One. My story is a ittle different than the other posters. I actually loved everything about the HD2, and was hardpressed to trade it when it came time to. It is truly a pocket computer, and which gives you the ability to tweak it to death as long as you have access to the registry and custom roms installed. I actually found myself turning Sense off at times becomes I didnt need to glitter all the time. Task Manager is your best friend too. I only got rid of it because I got bored with it after a while.

That said, Android is the **** for its own reasons as well. You have the ability to mod it to you liking, you get a more polished OS overall and access to thousands of useful apps without paying a hefty price, or paying at all.

to each his own.

I was looking through XDA site and it just dawned on me how black all the smartphones are! Isn't there any other colours suitable for smartphones or is it plain lack of creativity from the part of the phone companies? Or do they think all the smartphone users are boring geeks? I am tired of looking throught a list of black phones! I like the colours on Sony equipment.

I don't want boring white Magnolia (iphone?) either.

I'm bored!:(

[Off-topic] wovens:
Why is black always considered "professional" or "elegant" ?

Is it because it reminds people of a suit? Or because your bum does not look big in it?

Or is it because it can hide a lot of flaws?

A design needs to be very good to look sleek in colour but a sameish weak design in black can get a thumbs up! Why is that? Lazy design?

I actually admire a good black/white/gray/brown phone. I like the bussinessy and professional look. Only good colorful Smartphones are 1. Samsung Spica, which chikoo posted. Has a 800mhz processor and a upcoming Android 2,1 update but that's about all it has going for it. The HD Mini has a yellow inside, but that doesn't count. The mytouch 3g comes in merlot which is maroonish red and other themes. Doesn't the g1 come in bronze to?

hello,

I customized my sense 'today' screen with CoOkie's Home. As I am using the GTD methodologie, I frequently use the all day activities appointement in outlook. In my HD2 however, I don't have to see this all day appointements. I just want to see the appointment on the actual time (hour). Is there anyway to do this?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d33f:
I don't know what the heck is going on with my HTC HD2, but the reboots are getting quite annoying.

Furthermore i noticed it happens when i utilize the cpu heavily.

Mostly with streaming video or playing games.

Have done multiple hard resets, rom updates and even custom roms but nothing seems to work.

Sometimes my phone even reboots(soft resets) after watching 5 whole seconds of youtube :eek:

So even directly after a hard reset the problem persists.

I'm totally confused right now(because i have tried everything i could do to fix this problem).

I am thinking could it be the battery not giving enough juice for the task? overheating ? or just faulty hardware?

what do you guys think?

because i noticed that the problem is happening more frequently over time.

Edit: it rebooted even in idle a moment ago (1th time) ???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookie11:
Similar issue with youtube freeze and reset

I can validate your frustration. I am having problems with my HD2 freezing up as well and doing a soft reset on it's own. So the YouTube app opens up the HTC player and then it will play a few seconds and then freeze up. I also opened an MP4 movie file and view it with the HTC player and that also froze it. Last but not least, I have TomTom and that froze it after 15 minutes last night.

I have seen some postings that Tmobile and HTC will be releasing a new rom to fix some memory leaking issues so perhaps that might be it.

It started happening about a week ago for me. Please post any solutions you might find.

I am on:

OS v.5.2.21889

Mania v.2.5.20121412.1

ROM v.2.10.531.1 WWE

Radio v. 2.08.50.08.2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d33f:
I have done some trail and error, played around with coreplayer and i noticed that when i set the video quality to FLV medium quality in the buildin youtube app in coreplayer i won't reboot that quick anymore, but after a couple of seconds it will eventually still reboot. If i set quality to high quality/high bandwidth i will reboot much faster (so this let's me think about some kind of memory leak/buffer overflow).

Furthermore luckly i don't have any problems with playing mp4 videos in coreplayer, i have tested this especially because of the youtube reboots, and it will keep playing for 1,5 hour without any problems, so maybe you could try coreplayer and see if that's a solution for your mp4 problem ? :)

But eventually it would be nice if these problems where sorted out so that the device will work like it is supossed to be

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thompsd:
Same thing happened to me after the unit froze. I pulled the battery, put it back in an it went into this continuous loop of starting up, going through the first couple of screens and then rebooting. What I eventually found to be the problem was that I had inadvertently bent one of the battery pins when I put the battery back in, not much but just enough to where it wasn't making contact. After I carefully straightened it out the issue was gone and it fired up as usual. I love simple fixes, of course this was after I task 29'd and reflashed which didnt correct the problem.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msdave:
Hey, thank you @thompsd. This was driving me crazy on my phone. I finally took it back to a TMobile store for replacement and they put me on the phone with support before they would issue a replacement. Of course I was bewildered when they had me take out the battery and put it back in (which I had done a zillion times) and the phone suddenly worked. The person on the phone told me that it was fixed because I had to keep the battery out for at least 90 seconds. This made absolutely no sense, but it was hard to argue with success. I walked out of the store with my head hung low in shame.

Tonight, sitting in an airport lounge waiting for a flight, I noticed that my phone was hung so I pulled the battery to reset it. When I put the battery back in and started it, the phone went into the reboot loop -- displaying the boot screen for a couple of seconds and then shutting down and rebooting. I pulled the battery for 90 seconds. 120 seconds, 5 minutes. No joy. Realizing that this solution made absolutely no sense in the first place, I decided to search around again.

I found your reply in this thread and looked at my battery contacts. One of them was bent. I straightened it out, put the battery back in and the phone booted right up. Now I realize that when I was on the phone with TMobile, I must have put the battery back in that one time in such a way that inadvertently straightened the pin.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangerine27:
Hi all,

I have (maybe) the same problem with my HD2 i.e. when it is "doing something", well not idle, it sometimes restarts itself and then usually will not get out of the cycle of crash/reboot untill I remove the battery and wait for a few minutes before starting it again.

This is always more frequent if I am using a serious application such as sat nav. It also has only happened when the unit is connected to power, either on my desk or in the car (different power sources), but disconnecting it from the power after the cycle has started doesn't help.

I have assumed from the symptoms that it is caused by overheating and so leaving it switched off for a period allows it to cool.

I have got a return packet from Vodafone to send it for repair but I am loath to do this as it is likely to take 10 days and I suspect I might either get a recon unit back or "no fault found".

Does anyone think this could be battery related? If so I would buy a 2nd battery and test it.

Cheers, Gordon
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
I can confirm having the same problem.

Using BattClock (which shows a.o. the battery temperature) I was able to establish that the resets and reset loops happen once the battery temperature exceeds 31-32°C.

Contacted HTC support and received reply that the phone qualifies for repair.

PS. My wife just suggested providing me with a cooler bag, so I can enjoy reset-free phone during summer heatwave...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitbank:
I had similar behavior, but it was due to the new ROM release (4/28/10). I loaded the official T-Mobile release date ROM (2/19/10) and the problem went away.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tf442:
Yesterday my battery charge got very low and shut the phone down. When I turned the phone back on without charging it kept rebooting time after time. I tried plugging the charger in but that didn't help. I took out the battery and put it back in and that still didn't help. I finally caught it when it was rebooting and pressed volume down and got the phone in bootloader to at least stop the constant rebooting. I left the phone on the charger and after about 1/2 hour I pulled the battery and put it back in and the phone was fine.

I am not wanting this to happen again. Maybe I will go back to an older ROM.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Scientist:
Im having the same problem! i figure it was the battery overheating...or the rom or even probably a not compatible radio.....try to change all of these and is still restarting when ever it tries to connect to any data or internet usage. Ex. youtube, downloading of files from the internet, Remote Desktop even Microsoft My Phone still restarts.

even when i used to make/receive phone calls it would restart as soon as i picked it up to talk. but for this i had a solution witch as of now is working fine with out a problem.

if anybody else has this problem with the Receiving/making calls this should work.

1. Go to: Start/Settings/Connections

2. is the "TASK" tab choose "Manage Existing Connections"

3. In the "Modem Tab" has for options to choose from, normally is on "Auto", this was the problem. you would want to get it OFF AUTO.

4. Try all the other " voice Stream options Shown" and see witch one works for you without giving problems, and save. Im currently using "wap.voicestream.com." witch is the second option after Auto.

Well i hope this works for you guys if ur having similar problems, its actually work for me. GooD luck! hope this helps.:o

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micfuna:
I had the exact same issue with the HD2 rebooting whenever I utilized the cpu heavily. I tried multiple handset exchanges but problem persisted. It turns out the problem was the SIM card. I had one of the older SIM cards from 9 years ago. After I swapped it out, the phone worked perfectly. You can tell if you have an older SIM card by looking at the number. If it doesn't begin with 8901 then it's an old SIM card.

I'm having same problem. God, whenever I play music video in coreplayer, it will freeze after about 15 minutes. Then it automatically reboot the phone, and it will stuck on the logo boot. I have to take the battery out for atleast 5 minutes before I can make it to boot up again. Well, the big factor that causes this I think is overheating or cpu overflow. No idea how to fix the issue like this. Seem like nobody get the solution too.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WillNitschke:
Same problem here... worked perfectly for first month now it reboots after a couple of minutes of 3G web surfing or running GPS software. Once it's hot and reboots it'll keep rebooting indefinitely until I yank the battery. Let it cool down for 10 minutes and it's OK again until it hots up. Then problems repeat. Sent it back for repair today, it's only 2 months old, so I'll let you all know how that goes...

I'm having similar problems, but usually on Opera. Phone runs really slow then and cant's type because of the lag, then the screen freezes and reboots or I have to take battery out. Has also happened today whlst using the phone to call someone, froze and would not let me end the call. Sometimes texting is a reall pain as there is so much lag and I can't type. Cleared all old messages and the copies of the deleted ones that it seems to hold onto. cleared all the caches I can find, have duttys task manager running to ensure programs closed fully. Phone seems to be sucking up memory and then freezing, really getting on my nerves!!!:mad:

Wow. I booted Andriod, which got stuck somewhere along the line. I pulled the battery out, but my phone refused to start up. Only with the usb cable connected would it come to life, but it restarted automatically 10 seconds later. I thought it was bricked, and did a search on XDA in desperation.

After reading this thread, I had a look at the battery connectors. Two of them were slightly bent. Obviously I had removed the battery too fiercely, and I will blame the Chivas Regal for that. They're quite flimsy, and flexible, but after carefully re-aligning them, my phone started up fine again :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjavado:
I'm having the same problem (obviously). When connected to the G3 network watching YouTube, my HTC HD 2 won't allow even allow me the first second of what I want to watch. And after rebooting I mostly find myself in the year 1990 (according to my phone). Often it doesn't recognise the SIM card.

Today, things got worse: I watched my phone reboot for about half an hour. After that I removed my SD card and SIM card. I replaced the SD card first, and that didn't bring up the problem. After replacing the SIM card, the problem re-emerged. While typing it even reboots while watching Family Guy using Coreplayer. I've just bought it a couple of months ago, so I'm not really happy about it all...

There's a post about SIM-cards being old if it doesn't start with a certain number. Mine doesn't but starts with a higher number. Does that make it to old?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannywi11iams:
I'm starting to have that same problem with my HD2, I thought that it might be the ROM. I've been running the same ROM now for over 6 months, I've also done a soft reset (phone only) to see that would correct it. but it still dose it, it mainly dose it when the phone gets warm, behind the hard keys on the front of the phone, while watching Video or streaming internet radio.

I found, when it starts looping that if I press the reset button on the back of the phone, and keep pressing it until I feel the vibration of the phone on start up that it has reset correctly. and it will run ok, but if I press the reset and get no vibration the phone will loop more sooner.

I'm wondering if the Radio ROM's will have anything to do with it, correct me if I'm wrong but are there different types of radio ROM's pushing/overclocking the hardware, which might result in this phone war,ming up and causing this type of problem? If so is there a more stable ROM to use

HD2 is bad phone

:mad::mad:I have similar problems like other member do, the only way keep using my phone with not rebooting is using it to make and receive phone calls, forget about smart phone features.

I tried different ROM, I did task 29 before and hard reset after, I changed my SIM card, i checked the battery pins, the phone is not getting worm, none of them works, I loaded the last tmobile ROM from SD card and USB, without adding any apps or sd card, the phone keep freezing and rebooting.

Here are the most issues that causing rebooting:

1. Using GPS application (Every single time)

2. Watching youtube movie

3. Using compos

4. Surfing the web (Opera or IE)

5. Checking Email

6. Browse the phone from Win 7 PC

7. After rebooting while or after loading the HTS sense

I bought my phone from EBay and it was working perfectly for few months, then start causing all kind of problems, not sure if T-Mobile will fix it for me.

Many time after rebooting the phone freezes in the first or second boot window, I thing I have a hardware issue, any suggestion is really appreciated.
