I had my TMO HD2 for about 2 months now, and I upgraded the ROM right after I bought it to the latest official stock firmware. It has been working perfectly fine til yesterday. It froze while pressing the numbers to dial, but I could still go use the Sense UI and run other programs. Only the dialpad froze.
After some troubleshooting, I noticed the problem would disappear upon removing the SD card and a soft reset. I also noticed that if I delete the "Application Data/HTC" folder on the SD card and reinsert it the freezes does NOT occur. But after 1 day, those files regenerated and the freezing is occuring again. The files totalled over 45MB. I deleted them again, and the freezing as of now stopped.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks.
the sd cards that came with the phone are crap.
Best bet is to copy over important info and format, scan and fix errors on the sd card, then put your stuff back on it.
I have bought a new memory card (class 6), and the freezing problem still occurs. Anyone have a solution? Thanks.
Those files are what Sense uses to index the music, etc on your SD card, and they reappear each time sense does a new reindex.
The problem you're seeing has sometimes ended up being related to bad album art or other metadata on one or more MP3's you have on the card, so you might want to first test by removing your music collection and seeing if that has any effect.
However, also note that having a music collection that is very large can also bog down the phone when sense tries to index it, that's a known issue on this phone...

I have a very weird problem that is bugging me no end! I tried putting some new media files on my xda today various wmv music and video files. Thing is they play ok then all of a sudden the xda freezes and I have to reset it. Then subsequently every file that I've loaded on today will freeze the xda. All others I've loaded on play fine. The only thing I've done since I last loaded any media files on is upgrade the Rom to the version 1.06. I've spent most of the day loading these new files on then having to remove them again I've tried loading them one by one they play fine for a while then all of a sudden the xda freezes then I have to delete them all again. It's really bugging me as to why it is doing this. Any ideas will be appreciated
Hmm just tried to open a picture I saved on my memory card that I transferred over today and that freezes my xda too!
You may have a corrupted SD card...that sounds a bit like a problem I used to have with one of my old ones.
I suggest you remove all your data on the card to a folder on your PC desktop, then format the card again on FAT32. If you don't have a card reader, I would suggest using StorageTools (http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html) or a similar program.
See if that resolves the issue. If not, it may just be the old problem where trying to read too much data from the card causes the phone to i/o error and effectively drops the card.

Anyone experiencing problems with SD Card on the prophet?
On mine, WMP10 thinks I'm inserting a new SD card almost everytime I switch on from standby. It comes up with the usual message "A new card has been inserted ..." and then it searches for the media on the card.
Yep, unfortunately...
Similar to this...
I think we need a ROM update on this. Alternative is to use a different music player, that seems to solve the problem.
I haven't experienced that issue, but occasionally the device sees the card as corrupted. A soft reset will take care of that. I'm only had it happen twice and it could have been related to some software incompatibilities as well.
I do facing the same problem here sometimes
I do facing the same problem here sometimes, i think is just the same problem as SD card occasionally cannot be detected.. which i'm so sick of it..
HOPE THE NEW ROM REALEASE WOULD HELP!
Simple solution, don't use the crappy Windows Media Player.
Try Mortplayer for Mp3s and TCPMP for videos.
Hello everyone, I have problems too with the SD card recognition plus with the COM Manager:
Overnight (or when not using the Jamin for a couple of hours) the SD card would no longer be recognised, only a soft reset helps. Also the Wifi does not work and I cannot switch it on from the Com Manager. This issue happens regularly.
What I noticed is that when the SD card is removed, the "About" in the System Tab says that the SD is in use, although it is not there!!
This is annoying and strange. Does anyone know why this happens and how it could possible be fixed?
Thanks!

This seems to be fixed for me by just not installing the extended rom. There is still something quirky where my the shortcuts to my progs won't show up on the start menu correctly. But, no big deal as I use ilauncher anyway. They show up fine there and I have no sd card detection problems. Hope that helps
Ever since I put in a 2gig memory card my 8525 has gotten very slow to wake up. Without the card it comes out of sleep almost instantly. With the card installed it takes 2-3 seconds. Any ideas on what might be causing this issue?
I'm running the vp3G v2.0 WM6 ROM and the memory card is a SanDisk 2.0gb MicroSD.
Also I have to reboot the 8525 after inserting the card to get it to recognize it. Is this normal?
Clear Skies,

Seems like something you have installed needs to access it on the card first. Check what programs you have that is most likely to run in the background and it's probably installed on the card and not the device.
I am getting the exact same problem except all i did was move my pictures and videos to my sd card... I have no other programs etc on my phone. please help
Same problem (solved)
I had the same problem and found that the advice of ThaiM was correct.
The offending application in my case was Garmin Q that seem to need to access the micro SD before allowing the phone to wake up.
Now wake up is quick but the unistalled Garmin Q is complaining that it can't find the garmin.exe. probably something in the startup folder of registry, should be able to sort that out.
Thanks for the solution
I've been having an issue with my device. Once every week or so, something happens to my 16 GB SanDisk memory card. Exactly what happens I can't tell you, but it can be stuff from Media Player not beeing able to add files to the library (but plays them fine if you open them manually), to the phone freezing after entering PIN upon start-up. Sometimes it freezes randomly, and I have to remove the SD-card. Whenever this happen, using my card reader and running Vistas error-checking sorta helps it, or if I can isolate a file that causes a problem (not a program, any kind of file) and delete it, it usually works.
But, why does this happen? I never take the card out of the phone, except when trying to fix the errors. I sync over Bluetooth and USB, I've used different ROMs (I think, I've flashed quite a few recently so can't tell for sure), I've used diffrent line-up of programs, but it stills keep acting weird. Any clues? It's quite annoying. I didn't search the forums, since I honestly don't know what to search for. Any clues or search strings are most welcome! Thanks!
Forgot to mention, I'm currently running CRC's latest stable, but, as I said, I don't think that's the problem.
same thiong happened to me
My mem card started showing up files with some weird names, other files were unaccesible, programs stopped responding and the phone would freeze until I took out the mem card. What I id to fix the issue was, took out all the vital info (keep it minimal cuz there might be a corrupted file and we dont want to transfer that one to the phone again. format your memory card using a "low level" format application http://lmgtfy.com/?q=low+level+format+freeware+download+sd&l=1 then pop it back in again and the phome will format it, and transfer your old data back. This happened to me a while back and havnt had a single issue sience the low level thingie. Hopes this helps
I'm afraid this is a common enough problem and has been written about many times. Causes vary from software errors, switching off before all data is written or even physical contacts between phone and card (some evn say different brands of card work better).
If it happens that you see corrupt file names do not continue using the device or open programs or trying to delete data. Imediately perform a soft reset, this can recover (sometimes) the corrupt FAT file and save data.
The inability to save Media Player files to the library is an un-related issue and is a known software issue. You can overcome the issue by deleting the msmetadata file (search this forum for more info). Unfortunately it's something you may have to do fairly regularly.

I have an HD2 running a recent version of Energy ROM. Everything is working fine, unless I try to put some music on the SD card. I have about 7.5 GB of music I want to put on there but every time I do the phone starts having random freezes. I though it might be the phone trying to index the music and knowing that the default card that comes with the phone is not very fast I went and bought a class 6 card as a replacement, but the problem persists. Anyone have any fixes/suggestions?

That can be caused by many things. First 2 I would check is make sure the folder structure is right Artist name/album/Mp3 & art if that is right I would check to make sure your mp3 tags are right. A search will lead you to a program to check your ID3 tags.
i had the same problem with music on my hd2, the way i fixed mine was to flash the evo rom on to it and the problem has never come back.
