Way 2 solve all HD2 Problems !

It's been over 6 months with my HD2 and this period was plagued by numerous problems.The essential function of any mobile is to make phone calls and sadly this was the area most affected.Many times my phone will drop calls,mute itself,freeze screen,make it impossible to answer a call and to disconnect a call because of frozen slider etc...etc...to name a few...
But i have solved all these now and my phones call functions work flawlessly.
How?I removed all tweaks and customizations by Factory Reset and Memory Card formatting!!
After that i installed only the software's i absolutely require,one at a time,watching out for problems.In fact i have just 4-5 customizations in my HD2 now...and i am happy.

Haven't had any of your problems with my HD2 and have installed loads of customizations, apps and ROMs.
What a usesless thread...

going to say, i've had zero problems with my HD2, i bought it 2nd hand, and i've tweaked it to with an inch of its life! I have a good few apps installed aswell. This phone seems to get alot of unnecessary bad press at times and i'm sure most of which is user error...no disrespect intended there though mate.

Yes, I have to agree with you too - I've got plenty of customizations, and very rarely get any problems !

I have countless number of tweaks but only a hand full of apps that I actually need.
Never had an issue.
Make sure you put system tweaks and mods on the internal mem. Won't have a problem after that.

I've got 30+ apps (only one of which is a game), countless reg edits, Resco Contact Manager which totally takes over calls and dialing, as well as contacts, which you would think could potentially be quite problematic and I've never had an issue with stability.
I've never understood the stability issue thing, just stay away from stock ROMs and you'll be laughing.

I'm on a stock ROM and I'm still laughing. It runs for 2 days on battery, no lockups, has all the stuff I need installed, and many many tweaks.

I bought a patio set a week after I bought my HD2, it didnt work until I erected it, now it works a treat.

that thing works wonders for me whenever I have a problem!
which isn't very often

I have stock ROM and plenty of tweaks and apps and I haven't faced any problems till now. really stable. I remember way back I was using htc touch with slower processor and wm 6.1 and I faced a lot of problems that Op described.

wow...overwhelming response...
I stand corrected because this problem came up again today morning:When a call came in and I slide to answer, the slider got stuck to "answer" while the phone continued to ring(without sound).The entire screen froze and I had to wait till the call got disconnected to use it again.
I was thinking this problem had disappeared after i removed all tweaks but there it is again.
I have searched the length n breadth of this forum and google too but without a solution..
Help me friends please....

Same applyes to me,most of the PDAs Ive used were much worst than my HD2 including My Iphone.this thing can function same as a computer + few other things, so must expect few slight glitches.

So any solutions for the problem friends?
1.)When a call came in and I slide to answer, the slider got stuck to "answer" while the phone continued to ring(without sound).The entire screen froze and I had to wait till the call got disconnected to use it again.
2)Also when I do answer,after around 40 seconds,i cannot hear the person at the other end.The calls stays active till i end it.The other person can hear me but.This happen with random calls and in both incomin n outgoin.
I was thinking all the tweaks were messing up with the call function...but...
UPDATE:I got reply from htc to install System Update from website today.But wen i try 2 do that,Invalid Vendor ID error message is coming and the update aborts itself.
All problems solved after i updated my ROM to 1.66 ! thank u everyone

Serious bug: auto reboot using camera

Hi guys!
I'm experiencing a serious problem with my X10: Using the stock camera app causes (50% and more of times) a reboot of the device
I'm still stuck with the R1FA016 firmware (Spanish, Movistar) and i thougt this could be the problem since nobody seems to have a so bad experience
Today i tried the Vignette app on the market and the bug is still there... what could be the problem?
Thank you.

I know it is painful, but have you tried formatting the device (restore factory settings)?

mmmm... i was thinking about it... do you think it could be a solution?

If you're using a task killer, check out you are not killing any camera app.

No i'm not killing camera app... (anyway, atk is set to kill apps every half hour)
I just formatted the phone and the bug seems to be still here... rebooting occours even if, in Mediascape i try to view taked photos!!!

Then, try one more thing: uninstall ATK, reboot the phone and let it handle the RAM as it is supposed to.
Perhaps ATK is the culprit! I know it caused me a great deal of problems in the past, until I finally realised that task managers do more harm than good on android operating systems.

@sleepyManX1
the update is out already try OTA update......

I also tried to insert photo app and some services (such as facerecognition) in atk ingore list... the bug is still here
So i'm trying this way: disable atk from autostart...

I've tried a lot of task killers/managers and at the end something started not to work properly. Since i don't use them everything is always ok! I recommend not to use them!!

Hi guys!
Any suggestion about this issue?
(I restored factory settings again and did not install any task manager/killer... still the bug is here )

Try to re-install firmaware using SEUS Wish you all the best

Yes... seems to be the only way... and i think i will flash the phone with a generic italian firmware... maybe the problem is in the movistar brand...
I just need a windows pc... (i've a ppc ibook... so no virtualization possible!)

I also have this problem with my desire, apparently after a search in XDA, problem exists in Nexus one (which is like HTC desire anyway) and HTC G1, G2.
seems no solution yet, I flashed my phone and installed the latest radio and a custom rom, still no solution.
hope someone can fix it

sleepyman x1 i too am on the same firmware as u and get the exact same problem im on three network uk, iv tried everything and nothing seems to solve it,,,, the only thing iv found that helps the camera bot up next time is when finished using the camera is to press the back button to exit camera mode and not to use the home button,
hope this is some help to you,
any updates of this would be great, the update doesnt seem to be there for my reigon yet, ( According to SE anyway ) they pretty much told me to sit tight and wait for he 2.1 in the last 4 mths of this yr

I'll try this... but i'm really going to flash my x10 with a generic or an italian firmaware.
Thank you.
PS. Just today forced SEUS to reinstall my original firmware and the bug is still here... in the next days i'll try with an X10i_Generic_Italian (X10i_Custom_IT_Release_R2BA026)...

Let me kno how u get on bud. ?? Would like to see the out come
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Be sure that i'll keep you informed

I also have "reboot" problem, but my phone reboots random - sometimes when I use Google Maps, sometimes when finish phone call, even sometimes when the phone is idle. I tried factory reset several times, updated to latest firmware (currently R2BA026) but no luck.
These days I will go to my local SE support center, I have no choice ...

Phone keeps rebooting itself (!!!!)

Ever since the big update (023 or what it was called) my phone reboots its self now and then when I let it sit. It startaed doing it once a week then it started doing it many times a day. 5 days ago I did a repair and it has worked fine until today. It reboots it self again and you're stuck at the pin code.
I've heard that I'm not alone with this problem but few people seem to care. Well I care, A LOT.
How do I fix this.
Obviously it's something SE's done given the fact that it started after the big update.
Im starting to get very tired of this piece of crap and will soon flush it down the toilet. Hang ups, slow interface, reboots, poor screen sensitivity after a while, rediculous sound quality, poor bluetooth support. This is my last SE phone, they're totally incompetent. I tend to use my 9 million year old Nokia handset more than this infernal piece of f**k.
Well .. thanks ..

memory card error ! try copyin all your stuff on your pc then format the card in your phone then copy back worked for me !

Oh FFS dont say that! You will get flamed on here by the kids who think this phone showed apple how to do it.
Slag the X10 of at your own peril! All I did was ask one question and made a comment about 2.1 on the phone and got 3 pages of people phanboying it up.
Your right though the phone is **** and mine is up for sale to get a Galaxy S But thanks for the tip I shall format the card so when I sell it it wont reboot while they are looking at it.

My phone keeps rebooting, and I don't care.
Just kidding. I had this problem before, but it seems to be better now. I was using the program Vault, and I hid away "Backup and Restore" and "SIM Toolkit". After I restored them to normality, I stopped having phone restarting issues.
Also, please don't start a flame war with your complaints about your phone. No one else seems to be having as many issues as you, it is probably something you are doing wrong.

See it's saying thing like that that adds fuel to the flames! Its an open forum so people can express opinions on it yet all I read on here is:
"It's your fault you cant use the phone" this does nothing but incite a retaliation from the poster as if some one said "It's not your girlfriends fault she doesn't cum its yours, I mean she cum for me last night" it would get your back up.
If somebody express an opinion about something does not mean they want a flame war I simply expressed my opinion and agreed with what the OP said.

What do you mean by "I hid away"?. You mean that you just uninstalled Backup & Restore? I have not installed SIM Toolkit whatever that is.

same problem here.
phone reboots once or twice a day and it gets stuck at the pin screen.
this is really annoying.
will try to format the card, and there is another thread were someone said he replaced the battery and the problem was gone.

Found the probable cause of the reboot problem:
Check the "[GUIDE] SIM Card Locks randomly - Howto solve. (rooted SE X10i/a phones only)" in the X10 Anroid Development section.
Try killing Backup & Restore in the Program menu and voilá, the famous SIM card kill bug.
I disabled the SIM card PIN code so it doesn't stick there. The bug is still there but the phone works.
Great work SE - No just kidding - You bunch of amateurs.

well ... the method is for rooted devices, so there is no solution for this yet.
i did format the card to see if i solved anything.

if it reboots when your reading from the card like useing MP3s or looking at photos ! its becuase ther is a bad sector try poping your card in a card reader then let windows tell you there is a error and let it fix this !

i know this sounds stupid but i too had this problem and hav noticed it does it when the battery is at a certain temp (hot) i mite be wrong !!! or is it just a coincidence

Well... formating the card does not help.
Any other ideas?

Do you use a taskkiller? If so stop killing 'backup and restore' .

You don't need a taskkiller on Android. The whole problem with this bug is that people are trying to kill apps/services that shouldnt be killed in the first place.

This is a firmware bug...
I have had a similar problem... however my phone is a new one from the SE repair facility in Poland. It has the latest firmware and the phone exhbits the rebooting with no SIM or SD card installed. The problem also doesn't appear to be related to battery temperature as it can also occur from cold.
I will try an unbranding and see if the same issue exists.

I am not using any task killer.

Mine just started rebooting itself today too after owning it for two weeks. Have been updated to firmware 026 rooted for a few days and notice it only does it when the battery reaches lower than 50%. Gonna re flash it tomorrow and re root it. Reformat the sd card. Will update on if it keeps rebooting.

That did't do the trick for me. Taskkillers will force the bug to trigger, so will the backup & restore program (that seems to runt constantly).
The fix would be to: FIX THE FREAKING BUG IN THE BACKUP & RESTORE PROGRAM, or simply delete it (which is impossible now).
Idiot SE.

Well, it seems mine is rebooting too.
I don't know how often... i just saw it once... out of the blue.
Phone was in standby when happened.
I watching tv and i saw the display turned on with the boot animation and then i figured out what happened.
I uninstalled the backup tool with Titanium. Let's see...

2 day and no reset,i am happy

some apps will hang and use more than 80% cpu!

guys i have this issue, after flashing to darkly v9 some apps hang for one min or more. Example.
1- advance task killer will hang if I go see running services and back to task killer menu.
2- flickir wallpaper hd will hang if I preview any wallpaper and go back to the list of wallpapers.
At task manager, I can see these apps using 80% cpu for the hanged time.
I reinstalled apps, didnt help
i flashed the phone back to factory (using download), flashed to darkly v8, didn't help.
What to do
Edit- Ok, i found that it only happens when wifi is on.

Dont use those apps? (Ever occurred to you that it might be the apps and not the roms? or some other app that makes the other apps hang? Perhaps your very own task manager?)

umm, if everyone using those apps. and it runs fine. i think asking me to not to run the app is kinda not the right approach.
if things were working, then they are not working. then it means something wrong went. and i agree could be either. but before blaming the apps that are useful. lets try to fix it.

this issue, after flashing to darkly v9
Normally if you have a problem after doing X then its usually the fault of X
jje

agreed, but then after flashing back to v8. the issue was still there. hence the weird thing.
i asked around in another forum. and i think it fixed it. here was his solution
Got the same problem. Got a bit sick and tired of it thats why i tried Doc's ROM, and i became a happy man.
but before that, have you tried using SGS Tools and run the clear_thumb_db.txt script?

so i ran what he suggested. and it worked. i spend 4 hrs yesterday cracking my head was the phone was doing like that. on top of that. i flashed it at least thrice!!

agreed, but then after flashing back to v8. the issue was still there. hence the weird thing.
Yes but you may have needed a complete wipe of system and data to clear the problem .
jje

I did wipe. Even did factory resest in recovry mode. Al yet didnt make it work. Now flickie wall paper stil hangs. Me out of ideas. Some suggested different rom!

Rom Kitchen far less reported bugs .

[Q] S4 problems!

hi! i had 2 samsung phone and i hated both! thats probably last phone i get! waiting for nexus 5 to come!!!
btw i got few problems!
1-when pressing power bottoms it takes up to 1 minute for screen to turn on! even today i almost heart attacked toght my phone is dead!
2-keyboard lags a lot! like i press few keys it dens't vibrate ands tuck at showing key almost near when i end that word it just vibrate many times and show what i typed
3- my google chrom ONLY it stops for seconds and then a black screen and goes to app menu or home:! (forcecloses) when i go back it mostly comes back to where i was but sometimes when i like open a page 1mintues before and it closes i can't see the page or even 1 time it opened blank page!!!!! that's too annoying and it usually happens every 10 mins!
also today i saw some page blinking black white and stuck it happened again i closed the tab!

smart pause doens't work also! most of times it doesn't work but ofc it does in some conditions! and i tryed turning everything off expect smart pasue

have you tried factory resetting the device ?
my device is doesnt hav any problems but my friends device was lagging ... he reset it and everything is good now !
:good:

Smart pause can be used in good light conditions only, in a bright environment ... i find it useless nonetheless ... also i a factory reset doesn't help resolving certain lagging issues see if u can update the phone to latest version ...

I rooted my phone! + wantom lite! what happens if i still factory reset? removes root and completly factory?( damn wont lose apps+ stuff takes time to backup also! i can't update:S but will donwload new version of wantam lite tonight coz the one i ahve is almsot the frist version! lol and also after this happend i almost haven't use my phone for 4w eeks! thats crazy but im so sad and .... also have no diea what to do whit my phone anymore this phone made me forget everything about phones damn im so angry!!!
also my sdcard is burned lost a lot of apps!

If you have a custom rom report your problem to the rom's thread ... also the sd card burned by the heat?
How can u hate a specific phone when u are not running on it what it is supposed to run ... meaning stock software ... because those problems u mentioned are software issues which most likely occurred by lack of optimization of the rom u run atm ... i'm on stock and have non of those issues ...
