Super noob here. brand newe to all things flash Rom and what not. This HD2 will be my first phone purchased for the purpose of modding however...
After doing a search for the words heat and hot I was not able to find much, and the wiki is down
So my first post is has anyone ran into the isse of the LED blinking green and orange and slow to no charge while plugged into the wall? To the point where it no longer charges?
I work in tech support and ive never seen anything like it outside of my gateway laptop.
I was running the stock ROM no mods yet outside of the Android mod that is being developed. i have master reset the thing easliy 10+ times in the few days ive had it though im not aware of constant reseting having a negative effect.
Basically on my way home while sitting in my console in the car I went to use it and noticed it was warm past comfortable warm. I had not used it for extended periods like hours of browsing wifi calls or using the phone hard.
I went to charge it 20 min later and it got really hot again after only being on the charger for 15-20 min and had only charged up to %15 from %13.
Took out everything let it sit overnight same thing the next day, tried a new battery and charger ( even though the battery was barely warm it is hot all along the bottom half on the back and going up the sides) and still had the same problem taking hour or 2 to charge 2-5 % and staying very hot with no use.
Im at a loss as to what to think any ideas?

Heat will cause what you are seeing, but also check and make sure that one of your battery pins is not bent, seems to be a common problem ..
Also have seen a few people that their battery was just bad , and they had to get a new one shipped in .....

Sure cant make any promises but Ill be happy to answer any question I can. I work in Teir 3 PDA support so all of my knowledge is tech based. Ill look up the task29 stuff Im not too familiar with that.
since you have already tried a different battery, and if the pins aren't bent, then its likely to be the phones charging circuits. get it warranty replaced.

I checked and didnt see it any bent pins they spring out just fine when removing the battery and apon inspection seem to be fine. One of the 1st things was for me to try a battery in hopes that it was that simple but to no avail
More information for those that care. The battery has been out now for a full 24 along with the sim.
I got home today and put the battery back in no sim memory card stil in. After being on for 8 min the back is far beyond warm.
The memory card is not recognized and I am certain it was before. This is getting weirder and weirder.
I wonder if it has anything to do with me trying to run the android mod off of a 2GB card that im sure was a class 2 and below, then master resetting it and going back to the 16GB that came with it?
More to come as i try new things.
Now the high temperatures in Austria cause the same problems on my HD2 when navigating in my car. HD2 after 2-5 minutes blinks orange-green (no loading) and after maximum 10-15 minutes crashes and at home too (my little office room has no AC, is in direct sunlight and room temp is over 30°C.
Unfortunately I have to rely on phone, email and office-functions and on navi-function for my upcoming vacation. No solution to place the HD2 in AC-stream in my car with this stupid original HTC-Car-Navi-Holder, in the office I have to put it in the fridge before to get it recharged.
When driving in the heat of noon I don´t even have to switch it on, just mounting into the loading-cradle is enough to make the HD2 crash after 10-15 minutes, only 3G on, nothing else (no BT, WiFi, HSPA, no app running etc.)
Until now I was quite satisfied with the HD2, had no crashes or malfunctions so far, but now I am really fed up with this piece of sh.. and I don´t think there will be a hardware or software-solution (except swichting it off) since the HD2 is malconstructed. And it IS correlated with ambient temps since it started to happen only when ambient temp is higher than 30 °C. When I am in a AC-room everything woks normal again.
i think i figured it out! i took out the sd and used the phone for 20 min or so. the heat gradually went away and its no longer getting hot. i am currently posting from the hd2 with a standard 2gb card inserted and will test my 8 and 16gnarled card today.
there is an issue with certain sd cards not being "officially supported"....
I read a post on here earlier from somebody saying that their 16gb card was causing their battery to drain fully in a matter of hours because audio manager was constantly working through numerous gb's of music on the card.........
may be completely unrelated to your problem but since you mentioned the card I thought Id chip that in..........
Hope you find a solution.....
OK so my card has been working great with no problems until about a week to a week and a half ago. Now it randomly uninstalls and gives me a warning message in the top bar that says " SD card unexpectedly removed. Unmount SD card before removing it to avoid data loss." When it does this I can no longer see my card in the phone file. I tried removing the card and formatting it in my computer and then reinstalling it. That seemed to be an improvement for about a week (I say seemed because it was a very short time). During that time it would sometimes mount and unmount on its own but always remounted.
Any advice is welcomed with the exception of dropping it in the trash.
I do not have another card to try but I would be willing if necessary to buy another. I just wanted the advice of others before I commit the money. Also does anyone know if the known issues with 32GB cards has been resolved? I may go head and get a 32GB class 10 instead if I have to buy one anyways.
Phone is running
Android 2.2
System version 4.1.83
Gingerblur 3.5 basic meaning I am running it the way it installs from XDA unmodded.
Memory PNY 16GB Class 10
There is a known issue with the contacts on the phone not "contacting" correctly with the SDCard. Some people have manually bent the contacts on the phone and solved this issue successfully. Personally I wouldn't want to do something like this myself.
How old is the card? Take it out and reseat it a few times, make sure it's getting a good connection. I have a few older cards that the edges have worn from taking them in and out of devices so much that they sit a bit loose. Could also be slightly malformed from the factory.
Same thing happened to me with a 16gb Patriot Class 10 micro sd in the atrix. I rebooted, shut down and reaseated teh card int eh phone, to no avail. Ive put it into a microsd to usb adapter tried in my comp and it wouldnt be recognized, after reinserting it a few times into the computer (running win7 64 bit), it had been recognized, but it said it had to be formatted, did so, yet the atrix still didnt recognize it at first, reinserted it a few times and than it worked, however i tried it several times in my laptop and desktop and at several occasions it wouldnt work, so i just filed for a RMA at patriot, describing the problem. Im just about to RMA the card tomorrow. After that ive put an older 8gb sandisk (class 4 or 6 i think) sd card in it and it works flawlessly again. So i just hope the 16gb card was broken and not that the atrix brakes cards ...
This happened a few days ago and I tried all the reseating and reformatting then and it mysteriously started working again. What Caelan says makes alot of sense as the very first time it happened I had the phone in my back pocket since the shirt I had on had no pocket. So I probably sat on it wrong and caused the problem. I have no idea how people are reaching inside the little metal cover and bending the pins with any degree of accuracy.
I do not currently have another card but I can take this one and stick it in my sons phone for a while and see how it does. That should tell me if it is the card at least. So what is Motos return policy...........anyone?

Don't know of any phone returns for this. People either try different cards till one works, (and they all will if you put them in and out enough times), or they bend the pins.
Personally, I kept putting my SDCard in and out, maybe 5 or 6 times, with the phone turned on, and then all of a sudden the card registered. No problems since, but I haven't removed it since either. The card I have has been in two other phones with no issues, reads fine on my PC, in a camera, in my spycam........only issues I had were with the Atrix.
It's not the SDcards folks, but if you keep swapping them out, trying different ones, of course it will eventually work.
I wnder if anyone has tried taking a piece of plastic shim stock and attaching it to the backside of the SD card to make it a little thicker? I work in machine tool repair on the electronics end but I have access to the shim material as thin as .0001". I may try a piece like 5-10 thousandths and see if just tightening up the spacing helps. I'll post back here in a few days if it helps.

You can't get shim stock .0001" thick. You can however get it .001" thick!
Good point added a zero didn't I? However if I look in the shim crib I bet I can find .0005" but it may not be the plastic. Either way I actually meant the .001 heh heh.
My phone started doing the same thing a few days ago. Did it once, then nothing for a couple of days. Last night it did the same thing a few times while I was asleep. A reboot fixed(?) it, but if I see it doing it more, back to the store I will go to complain.
OK so here is what I have doen so far. I pur a piece of plastic shim on the back of my card in an effort to se if just tightening it would work. It did not. I then took the memory card out of my phone and swapped it with my sons 8GB Sandisk. Both phones read the memory cards and are working. Makes little or no sense to me but I can use my sons 8GB but not my 16GB.
I am still open to any other ideas if anyone has any, with the exception of bending pins in my phone.
Well, hasn't happened again. I even used about 4 hours of nav over the weekend to really heat it up. Nothing. My bet is on a software glitch somewhere....
Started happening again today, and this time more than once. I think I might try and get a new phone....
In case anyone is interested it has been about a week since swapping memory cards with my son and my 16GB class 10 is still working fine in his phone and the 8GB that came with his from HTC is still woring in my phone. I don't know why or what happened but now I am afraid to spend the money on a 32GB card. Last call on ideas as I won't be updating this thread anymore unless the 8GB unexpectedly crashes.

Hi All,
Yesterday my SGS2 stared doing some strange things. Self restarting, connecting to charger without any cable in it! Switch on from a sleep, then self restart...
I did hard reset tonight, and today about few hours its the same....
Of course that I have installed many of applications as before this problem. But I dont know if it is a problem of some application....
Any idea how to fix it?
Many thanks
Can it be caused by battery?? I have this phone almost 6 months...
Are you on 2.3.6?
If not, flash 2.3.6 or another rom just try it
i think your battery is not the problem
no, I have stock rom KI4 2.3.5 ... till now was everything OK
I found now an app (need for speed hot pursuit) which was moved on sd card (I don't know why, I didn't move any apps on sd card), just its deleted... we'll see
second factory reset, without any new applications installed = the same.... spontaneous restarting.....

I am not sure .. I think Power key will be the problem
Do diagnose pls do below steps
1, Just power off the phone & remove the battery for 2 mins
2, then plug the battery & don't power on
3, Wait for 5 mins, if it automatically powered on then power key problem.
If not then something problem in only ROM.
formated SD Card, I saw that there was also some files created by Android system... Now it seems, that 1,5 hour is everything OK But never say never
I Know this is a month old but was wondering if everything is still ok with the random restarting?
The reason I am asking is that it has been happening to my SGS2 though I believe it may be slight, v.slight water damage; as I was walking in a rain shower at the start of the week and realised my phone USB port was partially exposed to the elements, and after a few days it started to exhibit the same symptoms.
Currently the phone is sitting in a bag of rice in the hot-press to try and extract as much moisture from it.
If anyone else has any experience of similar problems, your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Same **** happened to me when I dropped my s2 in snow. The problem is in USB controller. There are two ways. first is to change USB controller in service centre. The second is to try to clean it yourself with isopropanol and brush

Took the phone out of the Hot-Press and bag of rice earlier to day and it has know been successfully fully charged (not charging was another problem); will continue to monitor the situation (not difficult since half of my life is on the phone...).
@beeboss: Thanks for reply, was wondering what kind of brush, Toothbrush? soft/hard? I expect that cleaning it yourself is a v.delicate job, it wouldn't put me of doing it, it's just better to have the correct equipment as I've came across corrosion of circuits on a bigger scale and I cant see scraping it with a v.fine scalpel to be a good thing in the case of the phone; Though I did not have isopropanol at the time of the big circuit corrosion...
Thanks for the help
Hi everyone,
I am experiencing a problem with my Samsung Vibrant. It keeps saying "Sim Card removed" and asks for restarting. It happen every 5 minutes or so. Any one has an idea in how to solve? Running CyanogenMod 9 Nightly Vibrantmtd.
Peace!
Maybe try cleaning the contacts on the card. Or you may have fired your SIM card with that crazy Haitian heat down there. Might want to look in to getting a new SIM card and see if that works out.
Thank you for response Woodrube. I didnt come back to the post because i have solved the problem. It was about the sim card reader on the board of the phone. I changed it and it worked like a charm. I sold it right after. I'm now on Galaxy S2. The haitian heat is something a man should try before he dies man. I hope you'll have that chance... lol.
Well, i really appreciate your help man.
Peace.

Hi, just wanted to add my own experience to this subject. My phone got a little bit wet, not submerged but just dripped on a little bit. Some of this water made its way into the back of the phone through the speaker hole and side slits. I compounded the problem by pushing the power button to turn it off instead of just pulling the battery; this caused the physical switch to suck some water in and short out, causing symptoms similar to a boot loop - put the battery in, phone immediately turns on, starts to boot, turns itself off just as boot animation comes up, repeat, until battery pulled. Long story short, I had to tear apart the phone, dissect the power switch, blot out water, and reassemble.
All good until I started right away getting 'SIM card removed, reboot phone' messages. Power down sometimes made it see the SIM again for a litle while, sometimes I had to pull the battery and jostle the SIM card and then it would work a while, etc.
I re-opened the phone after a week of this and discovered that while I was poking around inside, the ribbon connector for the SIM card / SD card reader daughterboard had become disconnected, on the hidden side of the motherboard (i.e. the screen side). I had to disconnect two similar ribbons on the battery side to be able to lift the whole assembly out of the case, push the SIM reader ribbon connector back into its receiver, and then all was well. I think it was only working at all because the being pushed up against the case was kind of holding the connector in place, if only in a janky way.
So, check for disconnected SIM card reader ribbon before ordering a new part. In fact, looking at the part online is what gave me the idea to check. I would post a link to the part, but as a new XDA user I'm disallowed until I make more posts. Google.
Thanks XDA for being awesome!
Currently running CM10 nightlies and loving my phone, after having official Froyo for nine months and hating it.
I was on evox everything was fine and i thought id try the new Havok, i clean flashed as normal and (this happened before but only for alittle and format fixed it) now my SD or my SIM arent being recognized, not even in TWRP.
I tried reflashing vendor/firmware, format, wiped everything still SD wasnt being detected but it did show up on PC and i saved all my data. I then formated SD and still no detection.
I reflashed EVO and all worked except sim and SD, so i went and did a full miui flash with mi tool.
Im now at miui setup page and its asking me for sim when its in there, tested my sim in my friend iphone and it works.
Is my phone burned?
well in the end after a hard shake of my phone the sim and sd it started working again, for how long? who knows.
phone repair guy said it would cost probably 300-400-500shekelw to solder, the phone was bought for 1000 so fk it.
question if anyone knows this is the phone signal graph from gsam, it used to never go below 40,, does this mean im losing connection during the day?

Yes. If you travel with the phone, this may be normal. If the phone is in one place the whole time, then either you have an issue or your mobile tower/provider has.

I was completely static sitting at work when these readings were taken, thing is same type of graph happens at home also . Previously the graph would be always between 40 to 80 and no sharp ups or downs all just normal(fromnexactly same locations) and this erratic signal only started after i lost my sd and sim connection for like 12 hours (shaking the phone brought it back which leads me to think it hardware).
My gf once shoved in a pin to eject the sd and i think she did it too far or something and nicked some solder point since shortly after the sim and sd stopped working, but everything went back to normal after a while. This second time it happened again that i lost sim and sd and now i have this erratic graph where it says my signal is at 0 but i still got a call.
Jsut to try i switched from evox to crdroid and i observed the same type of signal graph so its not a rom thing.
these readings are from when i switched roms to test and its the same.

Apart from Gsam showing these readings, do you have any issues with calls? If not, I would simply ignore it.

I had problems with download speeds, i was getting like half normal.
I FIXED it though with a bushfix, i put like 4 layers of cellophane tape on my sim card and now it seems it presses it in better, my stats are now steady between 40-80 depending if im indoors or out, no drop offs at all.
I hope this lasts! if not looking into mi 9 or K20 pro.

I'm having the same bs with mine (losing SIM and sd card access periodically). I have the added ballache of random shutdowns for hours at a time.
After noticing one side of the SIM tray was slightly worn down and wondering if it wasn't pressing the cards onto the terminals sufficiently firmly, I tried adding tape. One layer didn't do the trick and I was reluctant to use more and get it stuck inside the phone.
I've ordered a new SIM tray from Ali express - hope this will do the trick

Really grinds my gears having this stuff happen, at first i thought the connectors were broken, im not sure if its the tray though cuz i took my girls poco sim tray with her sd an last time it dint detect hers either.
Try what i did first to see if it helps, 3/4 layers of the clear tape, put it on the sd n cut to size.

Soo you are saying that sometimes your simcard would randomly die with no reason, and even after getting out and putting back didn't 100% fixed it?
Also that your phone suddenly died for like 2 hour and you couldn't start it no matter what?
Cuz i had these 2 problems.

Yup, that's what has been happening. Sometimes popping out the SIM and reinserting it helps, but often it doesn't. I've found it happens less when the SIM is in the SIM 1 slot rather than SIM 2, meaning I can't use an SD card. Makes me wonder though if it's mechanical, hence whether a new SIM tray might help
Random shutdowns are a PITA. They've lasted days before now
I returned it to Xiaomi for repair. They found it started up and returned it insisting it is fine. Despite videos showing the problem. Waste of time!
Did you manage to get yours over this or is it still happening?

It didn't happend after 3 shut downs. And neither the sim issues. Just to be sure i CLEAN FLASHED AND LOCKED BOOTLOADER than unlocked again and clean flashed latest xiaomi eu. Since then i didn't had any of those problems (but i got another one, maybe because of malakas kernel, rarely my screen would get stuck and only reboot could fix it(or touch sensor, not the OS)

I've done factory resets, without any improvement, but haven't relocked my bootloader
Might try that if I can summon the resolve
I've half convinced myself that it's a mechanical thing though with the positioning of the SIM card seeming to make a difference...

I had the same, couldn't fix it and i got mad and put it in slot 2,whitout sdcsrd, than it worked, i was afraid that i bricked sim 1 (its sim 0 in reality but doesn't matter), than i put it back and never had problems since than. I recommend you to:
Clean Flash back 9.6.27 beta with miflash (while relock bootloader)
Unlock bootloader, install twrp, CLEAN FLASH (well i didn't wiped system cuz some people said that on the forum, and tbh doesn't affected me) latest xiaomi eu (again, whitout wiping system but wiping all), install malakas kernel and latest magisk (13 or even 14) and if you want install FDE.Ai.
If you have problems even after all of this, than it's maybe damaged hardware, which is very unlikely.
my sim has been with stable signal strength since i put acouple layers of tape on the top.
flashing things ddidn't help me at all. I was considering mi9 to replace but developpement on K20pro looks like it will b way better.
so dar everything works so ill wait a couple months before buying a new phone.

Unlock bootloader, install twrp, CLEAN FLASH (well i didn't wiped system cuz some people said that on the forum, and tbh doesn't affected me) latest xiaomi eu (again, whitout wiping system but wiping all), install malakas kernel and latest magisk (13 or even 14) and if you want install FDE.Ai.
If you have problems even after all of this, than it's maybe damaged hardware, which is very unlikely.

I've just been on holiday for a week, during which time I had no shutdowns at all. Could be total coincidence, but a few days before I went I moved the SIM from slot 2 to slot 1. I've done this previously and still had random shutdowns, but strangely this time it seems to be behaving currently. Most odd

I never had problems agaon, BUT like 2 days my sdcard disconnected and could never put it back, even if it worked in another phone...
Solution?
Recap: since my F1 was about 3 months old I've been getting apparently random shutdowns lasting moments to months, also similarly sporadic signal loss and disconnection of the SD card. Have returned it to the manufacturer who took a bunch of cash from me, found it worked when they turned it on and returned it to me. A couple of days after receiving it back it shut down and continued to do so, exactly as before I sent it off. I started putting the SIM in the other slot and it worked reliably for about a month, then it all went to rat **** again.
About 2 weeks ago it shut down and wouldn't restart since. Pissed off with it and content that the warranty has no value, I took the back off last night and found that the antenna connection was loose. I pushed it in firmly (along with all the other connections to the motherboard - battery, screen etc) and fastened down the black motherboard bracket / plate / cover a bit more securely than previously, put it all back together and....
When I pressed the power button it sprang into life!
First time in 2 weeks and it's been steady as a rock since
I hope I'm not posting this prematurely - that the problem won't recur now I've tempted fate, but the initial signs seem promising
Kind of wish I'd got my screwdriver out 7 months ago and saved myself all the fannying about!
Btw, this teardown was helpful in case anyone wants to take the plunge https://youtu.be/LlubcWbsSQk
