I received a text message from t-mobile indicating that a new update rom was available for install. After updating I noticed that the mobile phone would freeze for a split second and then instantly restart. After having the unit freeze several times throughout the day, I performed a hard restart and did not install any cabs. I noticed that it would freeze when I would go online.

Just yesterday I downgraded back to the original rom and no more problems. :)
[HD2 General] kaykay050:
After the hard reset last night, my phone froze several times in the next couple of hours. It even turned off, then back on three times when I wasn't even using it and the battery was full. I have only had the phone for five days, so decided that is wasn't worth the headache and I called T-Mobile to exchange it for a new one. Hopefully, I have better luck with the new one.
[HD2 General] kaykay050:
Well, I received the new one yesterday and it's doing the same thing. Not sure what to do at this point. I'm irritated that HTC and T-Mobile released this phone when it obviously wasn't ready.

HD2 Freezing issue: Try this

For everyone who's having tons of freezing issues with their HD2. I found something interesting. I got my HD 2 a couple of months ago in June. It ran for almost a month, no freezing but sadly I had to return that one because the output resolution was bad. Some kind of defect. The second one I got for a replacement didn't have much freezing issues but I did encounter a couple and then I installed BeeJive. That program freezes my HD2 sometimes. Then I discovered that my WI-FI wasn't working, no idea what happened. I tried everything thing I could but it would not work. So I did a hard reset.

After the hard reset, the HD2 freezes all the time and was soooo slooooooow. It was so bad that I could not work on it. Having experienced the HD2 before all the freezing issues, I know that it had to be something else causing the freezing. So I hard reset again and reinstalled my applications again and tested each to make sure it was working and not causing the frequent freezing and most importantly, the slooooowness.

So far so good. I still installed BeeJive because it's the best IM software I found out there that uses your data plan for IM. It still causes freezing but I know what functions will cause it so I try to avoid it. I also keep my list of installed applications down to reduce the chance that it's one of my infrequently used apps that's causing the freezing.

So if you're daring, hard reset your HD2, then install your most used applications first, test it, then installed the next frequently used application next, and so on and so on.

One more thing, I've discovered that the auto update for stocks, weather, and frequently direct pushed emails, as well as gmail/yahoo accounts will cause the HD2 to be slow. I still set my gmail to update every 10 minutes because it's my main account, but yahoo gets updated once an hour and outlook gets manually updated during work hours, since I'm at work, and gets direct push for the hours I'm awake at home. No need to push email when I'm asleep.
[HD2 General] ConcernedGuy:
Another possibility for resolution - microSD card

I purchased a new microSD because I noticed that the one that came with the HD2 is a Class 2 device. I could not take videos for more than a minute and then it gets real choppy.

I bought a new Class 6 card. After getting the card, I tested it against the Class 2 card. Huge difference. It seems that SD card speed and HD2 performance are directly related. I tested the cards with the following applications: Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, BeeJive, Camera, Video Camera, and Email. On both cards, on certain programs, the card access goes down to below 1mbs. However, for the Class 6 card, it ramps up quickly. The class 2 card, being already slow, lingers. This in itself causes a huge lag and freezing. I discovered that on certain applications that froze before, it now doesn't freeze but it does take an extra 'second' to recover.

My biggest relief has been that BeeJive no longer freezes where it froze before on certain functions. I've been running for over a week now without any freezes. I'm not saying you should replace your SD card, yet. However, you can test it to see if the lag is causing the freezing.

A new 16gb card costs $75. Make sure you test it, if you decide to get one. I got 7mbs max access with mine and consistently got 6mbs, which is what it's suppose to be.

What happened to the hotspot free for a month that was discussed all over the internet prior to launch?
[EVO 4G General] Akulamenuri:
Im not sure what happened with that but if you don't mind rooting the phone the wireless tether.apk works for the Evo
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
I used Toast's root and it doesn't work with it...
[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
there is an update

but it would be nice if sprints was hacked since it acts like a true router so my zune can see it but wifi tether is ad hoc
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
I ran the unrevoked root over the Toast root and now the wireless tethering works great! Using it to send this from my laptop! :D
[EVO 4G General] EVOmaniac07:
I have the hotspot for free right now. is that cause I did the update? Ive pinky tried connecting it took one device so far. It works pretty damn well if I don't say so myself. So theyre offering it free for a month?
[EVO 4G General] suicideking:
i think the free hotspot for a month thing only works if you are in a 4g market.....
[EVO 4G General] Hero's Hero:
My Sprint Hotspot is working and has been since launch day, and I didn't get the tethering.

I'ma lucky one I guess :D
[EVO 4G General] LECKEY73:
I think it is free until July

Tethering

I talked to a Sprint rep today, some people got signed up for the $29 hotpot plan automatically, those who are using the hotspot app might want to check their sprint phone bill to validate.
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
i have the unrevoked and wifi tether for rooted evo is still not working. my ipod touch still does not see it. im so flustered with this. can someone help me to get wifi tether working?
[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
Your ipod will not see it till they get infrastructure mode baked in any moment now they say

I'm pretty sure the "free month" was just a bug and that it was going to be a month until they fixed it. Also I'm pretty sure it was just 4G tethering, not 3G.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/evo-4g-on-sale-at-8am-on-june-4th-with-one-month-free-4g-mobile/

EDIT:

Interesting note... The words from Sprint at the bottom don't seen to condemn other tethering options. They just say that the $29/mo option comes with more reliability and the ability to tether up to 8 devices. Which is a valid point.

I wonder who the intended audience was. Probably more for sales people to sell the tethering option to folks than admitting that other options exist.
[HD2 General] lanis404:
in the past couple of weeks, whenever i try to watch a youtube video using the 3g network, my hd2 would freeze and reboot itself after a few seconds. strangely, i can watch youtube for hours at a time with no problems if i use a wifi connection instead. does anyone else have this problem? i've already installed the latest firmware from the t-mobile website.

this only started to happen recently and nothing about my phone has changed. i've even done a factory reset so i can only think that the problem is somehow with the 3g network itself rather than my phone.

"Staying w/TMO" & accepting the fact I'll not have wi/fi calling, is it proper to get an HD2 or does anyone have a better suggestion. If you dou have a better suggestion plz give a reason why. The snapdragon is as slow as I'll go. Thx.:confused:
[General Topics] sirphunkee:
Well if you're going to stay with Tmo, then there's really only two snapdragon-grade options anyway...the HD2 and the upcoming Galaxy S. So, it really just comes down to whether you can live with android or winmo better.

I personally love the HD2 and everything I can do with it...but I honestly didn't know that voip calling wasn't possbile on wifi...??

Either way, the HD2 is quite a capable piece of hardware, IF you can live with its shortcomings etc...particularly with regards to the OS.

It might help people make recommendations for you if you gave some idea of what you need and want in a phone...this is kind of like trying to help somebody pick out what car is right for them with only knowing what color of seats they prefer :rolleyes:

hello there,does any one here have the stock rom for Starhub?

i need it for warrenty purposes:(

any help would be greatly appericiated! :D

thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] berrytarts:
i believe that if you're going to send it for repairs, you could just use an official RUU by HTC, and tell the staff you updated to that RUU during that time? I don't think the warranty requires you to keep the stock ROM since the warranty is by HTC? I don't know if this helps, but good luck (:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] css626:

which uni you from bro?

in my poly if we go to the IT helpdesk they will help us to get connected :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] canhcutvl:
i'm from NTU, which poly r u from?

It keeps saying 'Secure connection cannot be established' >< but when I test it on HTC Evo with official Android 2.1 update 1 everything is fine. So the problem is from CM ROM, don't think IT helpdesk will help us then.

Too bad, I like CM 'cause of their well-known stability. Now use Android 1.6,evry thing is ok until now :-S
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] css626:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] canhcutvl:
it's for project developing only :)), can't call or sms in Singapore 'coz it use CDMA network. Look awesome but ... well ... can't have:P
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
This sounds bad but I went to a local T-mobile store and tested out how sturdy the HD2's chrome camera lining.

I tried to scratch it with my finger nail. I ran the sharp edge along the table and i even tried to scratch it by running its sharp edge over plexi glass.

My only conclusion is that it may look like it will scratch easily, it is somewhat tough!

Now I can rest assure that I can put my Hd2 on a hard surface now instead of always putting it on the case it came with. =)

we don't have write access to the recovery partition due to the NAND protection. since we dont have write access to the recovery partition due to the NAND protection, we have no way of permanently loading a custom recovery.

toast's method only loads a temporary custom recovery as a patch until we are able to bypass the NAND protection or disable it for the recovery partition.

feel free to try! all the experimenting will hopefully get us closer to unlocking the NAND protection on the recovery partition!

Hey all,

My ultimate goal is to take my motorola droid, and connect it wirelessly to my nexus one using wireless tether. I dont have verizon so it'd be sweet to piggy off of my nexus and have virtually two phones.

My problem is my motorola droid, nor my gf's stock evo can see the wireless network I create in wireless tether. However, laptops and both of my roomates iphones can see it.

I also created a wireless network on my droid but then my nexus one cant see that one. Is there a problem connecting two android phones together over wifi? what am I doing wrong that other phones can see it, but not android phones..

Other ways to tether?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The network you're creating is Ad Hoc network, which is different from Access Point network that is provided by WiFi routers. Phones might not be set for recognizing and connecting to such network, at least it looks so from your description.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebluecoat:
Understanding that, it leads to another point in my question. Why can iPhones connect to those wireless access points that my android phones create?

It doesn't make sense that you cant connect android to android. There must be a driver or something that I'm missing or some other app I may need to install.

Any other ideas?

Anyone know of any good ones? Looking for things like a hard case for it (body glove or other), the usb adapter mentioned above, retractable cable, 16 gig micro usb, things like that.

Another vote for monoprice on any cables. I picked up two 3' micro usb cables, two 10' micro usb cables and two mini hdmi to hdmi cables for ~$20 after shipping. They got it to me faster than expected as well.

No offense, but if you are wanting the best price on all of the accessories, you need to be a little more realistic and not expect to get them all from one place.
