I bought a new T-mobile hd2 last week and tried to load a chinese font package (Yahei) to display chinese characters. However, after installing it and restart the phone my htc sense cannot be loaded at all. I tried to hard rest 1-2 times but does not work out. BTW, all the htc software functions like calendar, people, ring setting cannot be load either.
Am I doing anything wrong with the phone, or I need to unlock/tweak the hd2 before installing any softwares.
-Thanks

When I had this problem, a hard reset also failed to solve it, I had to reset 4 or five times before sense was up and running again. I dont know why........

any more info? what programs are you installing, when is it freezing, etc.
and wrong thread. should be under titan.
like i said in first post, not installing any programs, just a fresh, clean flash with 0 extras.

if its acting like that on directly after flashing without any added OEM's, then it is most definitely not dcd's work. try hard resetting.
I'm having similar issues now...ever since the time changed my phone has been acting very odd...i havent hard reset in about 2 months but its been constantly freezing bad, takes about 20 minutes just to enter my text messages and after each reset i keep getting the same txts marked as unread...another thing i notice is that my htchome won't update no more, say if i reset my phone at 10:10pm the clock wont change! my taskbar clock however reads the right time, for example it says its 10:42pm right now way up top, however on my today screen it htchome still says its 10:10pm???!?!wtf? weathers not working and it says i have 12 unread emails, but i don't think it has synced since my phone started freezing up and acting up a few days ago, i try to manually sync my mail and nothing...i was hoping dcd would come out with version 3.3.x or something by the time i wrote this so i can cook a newer rom and see if it rids my problems but i guess not yet...or ever...
Hi guys
Little help needed.. I've had the phone since Aug 09. Had loads of problems with it, but have now decided after nearly a year to update phone as I've lost all notification lights, the charging light, etc. etc. It's not a great phone at the moment!
Donwloaded latest ROM from the HTC site, plugged in phone, and it wouldn't work. Something about the abl, or acb? Wouldn't connect properly when searching etc.
Anyway round it, Tried disconnecting from net, but figure it needs the connection. But didn't work either way.
Is the latest Orange update the one to go for? Does it help the lousy signal, the frozen text messages?
When it says you lose all data, can someone clarify that for me please? Numbers, Sim card info, Phone numbers info, Pics, Music, Email set ups? etc. etc.?
Thanks
Which ROM have you tried?
If you haven't tried it yet, try the VillainROM 12 I think its pretty stable.
Hi, its the latest one for Orange on the HTC forum, but that's not the problem.
It's the fact I can't get the programme to take. It's that ab thing that keeps stopping me and the ROM just exits..
If your ROM is rooted then you shouldn't install the HTC official updates, instead look at the developers forum here and try ROMs from there. For example VillainROM 12 and many others are based on the latest official HTC update.
If your ROM is not rooted, I am not sure what the problem is. Assuming you don't want to root it, maybe you can get support either from HTC or from the shop you bought it at.
Have you got the latest HTC Sync installed?
Hi
Thanks for your replies.
No, not rooted, not anything, since I got it 12 months ago. Other than plugging into pc to transfer pics which always worked. HTC sync? Not aware of?
Never updated Rom ever, but its given me so much grief over the last year, I get maybe 2 web pages and then it freezes for ages and the green line sits for 10 mins before another page. Is that the nature of this phone? Would an update make a difference to that problem?
I downloaded few apps the other night and removed them and now all lights notifications and charging lights don't work. Typing is so laggy and painful to do. Texts won't scroll for minutes...
I just can't understand how everyone says this phone is so great?
I know its a year old now but its always been like this.
Any help much appreciated.
Install HTC Sync and you're problems should go away, though you may need to boot into fastboot and install the driver for that too for the update to work. I can describe that if necessary.
Thanks again ...
Fastboot? Lost me on that one
What does the Rom update erase?
Will try this tomorrow and see if I can get sync on there
You lose everything, but considering the problems you're having this may not be a bad thing. You can backup certain data without root access (such as texts i believe) but that is about it. Check out SMS Backup & Recovery for that. HTC Sync will do contacts (though you should really be using Google contacts by now rather than phone or sim).
Having said that you should lose nothing on your SD card, but I would format that after putting the new system on just in case (so backup to computer etc).
I'll explain fastboot if it's needed. Post back detailed error messages if you get any after installing HTC Sync.
Thank you for your help. I will attempt that when I'm at home, can't do at work.
Forgot to ask, have many others had the phone switching itself off problem? It still does this, and only when you remove battery will it switch on again. No idea why, but you can press every button and nothing doing till battery is removed. Love to know what causes that...
I'm a great ad for this phone huh.
Ive been plagued with this bug ever since i goit the phone, and no matter what rom ive tried this still surfaces. At first i thought it was buggy wroms, but even after task29 i still get it.
Ive managed to track it down, to poor memory management i believe. Because if i close all open programs. The bugs stop.
Basicaly what happens, is certain things become invisible. It mainly happens to the lock screen and the start menu. When i wake the phone up, im presented with no lockscreen but instead whatever was open at the time of going to sleep. But the phone is actually locked. So i still have to slide to unlcok.
This also happens with the start menu, no icons but the same screen i was in before.
I also noticed that images in the messenging program are miossing aswell, and im left with just outlines.
The confusing thing is, as it is not consistant with what programs are open. Sometimes just when opera is open, sometimes i can have several.
Maybe i have a memory leak somewhere.
Ive tried many roms, maxsense, cht, standar, gtx, same bug. its not the roms. I dont install any extra mods. hardly any proigrams extra installed.
Is it maybe the 576mb memory patch? thats my only thought. when i had g1, there was a patch for gaining extra ram which was reserved for video. Is this the same case for the hd2?
while im here, ive also had programs complain of not enough ram, when task manager says there is 100mb free of ram. not reported correctly? or just poor memory management.
If i close all open programs, i get my lock screen back, the start menu works, and no missing icons in messaging

I never saw something like this on my or my girl's HD2.
I would say, flash everything back to stock and try again.
If it's still like this, send your phone in for repair.
i hope its not a repair job, as that could have been done under warranty when i first got the mobile on contract 3 months ago. if it was to go for repair, id have to do it under insurance, as i had also dropped it in the toillete a few months ago (dried out)
but this problem has been there since before that.
damn
Ill need to get toa windows machine at some point. as my pc is solely linux, so cant task29. the last rom i loaded i did task29.
i installed a new rom. coukdbt task 29 cause no acces to a windows machine. lockscreen now works perfect. its not once became invisble even with lots of programs open.
however i still get complaints of no memory when opening images sometimes when just opera is open..vstrange. with no programs open pictures can be ipened
Update on progresss. Even the VBN showed very bugy behavious in regards to images, and loading of the camera ap. sometimes complaining of not enough memory even with just opera opening. So ive got access to a windows machine. went back to stock, removed hspl. So my phone is as it would be coming from htc. it doesnt have a t mobile branded rom.
everything works perfect as far as i can tell, ive not been able to reproduce the bugs. no matter how many programs i have open, images open fine. the whole device just seems alot more responsive.
So now im going to flash a custom rom and see what happens. But it looks like, the problem is solved so far.
Here is what i did
Performed a task29
updated with stock rom
used hspl3 to remove hspl
device bootup and so far so good.
Id recomend trying going complelty back to stock if you keep getting odd behaviour.
Hi All,
I would like to try a better ROM on my HD2 (Tmous WM6.5)... any suggestions and where to download?
BTW it was running really slow for some weird reason so I flashed stock ROM back on and my MobiTV stopped working
I found the mobitv cab here and tried to reinstall it, it immediately upgrades to the latest file from MobiTV then it says cannot authenticate user. WTH...
But anyway I'd like to try a few ROMS since so much work has gone into making them...
Thanks!

Artemis & Energy are worth trying & near top of threads on link above, Energy being my favorite & a superb WM6.5.x experience.
Do read up a little to make the install & user experience a smoother task.
very cool thanks I got a couple of the Energy ROM's. the install says to install hardSPL first
update: I have SPL 2.10.000
cant install now go find what to do to get to a compatible SPL....
update 2: i installed HSPL 2.08 then an energy rom, looks great! i installed mobitv, and the program just freezes when started. any idea why?
update 3: just installed skype and it too wont work... mobitv and skype my two favorite apps grrrrr any advice appreciated!
update 4: got skype working by going to internet browser first (wake up internet data connection?) mobitv still dead, jim
Skype has setting for connection type used when started, wifi, sim data ect so this needs adjusting to your requirements & will save need of triggering data via your browser.
As for Mobitv I am unsure as have not used it as for AT&T network only, could be your version only runs on genuine AT&T rom & need a modded version to run on other roms, do a search on NRG rom thread & see if you come up with anything. I will browse later & if see anything relevant post links.
Hi just an update, I did install one of the Energy ROMs and it looked and worked AWESOME! Many thanks for the help here to get that going. My HD2 on/off button died and the screen wouldnt respond, same as the last one. I bought a button strip off the web but broke the HD2 trying to get it apart to do the install despite following the youtube example. I wont buy another HD2 since the lower right button is obviously defective and they wont back it up.
Waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Note to come out on TMO-US, and meanwhile I picked up a Dell Streak 7 with Android 3.2 and a monthly sim card for data. I cant receive calls (except on skype) or SMS, so I bought a cheap walmart flip phone and when the Note comes available I will try that, even though they are EXPENSIVE without contract!
Also, of COURSE the Streak's honeycomb 3.2 wont run TmobileTV but it does run skype nicely. I find it odd that there is TmobileTV for 2.2 and 4.0 but not 3.2 but whatever.... :|
I'm getting pretty frustrated... my HTC One M8 is a GREAT phone, I really love it... BUT!!! I had a minor hardware issue with it and Verizon just replaced it with a 'Like New' HTC One M8 via VZ Extended Warranty. The thing is, I was going app crazy a while back and I had over 200 apps on my phone. They were very organized into folders just like I was on my home PC... true. I had apps the helped me keep it running smooth and they did fine.
When I went to do the Marshmellow update though I decided to slim-down the app count, so I used a few different apps to wipe caches, data, history, etc. I reset the phone to factory... but when it was booting up on the install it said it was optimizing 200+ apps!!! I was pretty irritated because it didn't have that from factory some why am I seeing this on a factory reset. I went into several menus and changed settings. I don't remember which ones I changed but it worked. I did the update and it now was saying at boot it was optimizing like 20 apps.
So I get the new replacement phone and have to do it all ove again but I don't remember what I did. Right out of the gate as soon as I got this phone it did the same thing. Said it was optimizing 200+ apps that weren't even on the phone. I hadn't even logged into my gmail account yet. It must be linked with my SIM card???
I don't know but I have to update this to Marshmellow now and I'd prefer to be starting with a clean slate. Anyone???
I haven't had time to search yet for this but I also am looking to root this phone (HTC One M8 Marshmellow) if anyone knows the easiest way, one-click would be great.
Thanks so much for your help!!!
