[Q] HD2 freeze and won't load - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my htc hd2 (t8585) unlocked version from cyprus. The phone is having many freezing issues. What can i do??
I am using official ROM (ELL)
I have also posted a video on youtube:
youtube.com/watch?v=y6Lyspkn_Gc

Can you be more specific on the freezing .. do you phone freezes at the lock screen? or while working with an application?
Its good to know what handling you were doing in what application when it causes to freeze.
ATM there is a problem with twitter.com accounts. It also causes freezes on the phone

No, my phone won't freeze if i am using it! It will freeze only if i leave it at stand by mode for longer that approx. 30 minutes - 1 hour.
Additionally sometimes it starts from the first soft reset, but some other times it takes much longer to switch on!

Hi. I got this problem for quite sometime and am so used to taking out and putting back and taking out and putting back the batt.
But now I have another prob: my ringtone suddenly went soft and I now have to keep myself alert all the time to see if there's any incoming call or SMS.
I would like to do a hard reset but the question is: will it set my phone back to the stock ROM or still retain the updated version - 1.66.707.1?
Thanks in advance.

Keyboard not responding, phone freezing

Some strange new problems are starting (dcd 3.0.1 ROM):
At first my alternative key started malfunctioning (previous DCD roms), I have to hit it about 3 times before it actually registers, now more of my keyboard is unresponsive on the first keystroke and i have to hit the keys several times to get them to work (not all but about 30%)
Second strange issue is that the phone has been freezing up a LOT lately, sometimes with the screen on, sometimes when the screen is off, the only thing i can do is reset it. Problem with that is I use it for my alarm clock and every other night or so I wake up and realize that the alarm didn't go off and the phone is frozen.
Could all this be an issue with the ROM or is it time to get the phone exchanged... And if exchange is what I need (I don't have SPRINT insurance plan) then what's the best way to go about this without putting up a large chunk of money?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well.
* no, I didn't get the phone wet and no, I haven't dropped it

Sudden Google Application Crashes?

Hey guys
Just curious if you have experienced this with your unrooted factory GS2 yet.
Last Sunday my phone refused to boot up, it would get to the S on the screen and then shut off, no boot up music etc.
I finally got it to start up but then it would just completely shut off and reboot again.
That issue seemed to stop about 3 hours later and all was perfect until this evening.
Used my phone all day at work and once I got home without any problems but then about 40 mins ago I was getting a million pop ups on my screen that every Google application/service had unexpectedly quit and needed to close?
I rebooted and it would be OK for about 2 mins and then start all over again and I cannot open any app.
I have just let it sit here and every 5 mins or so it plays the boot up music while it is on sitting at the lock screen lol?
No apps have been installed or updated over the past few days so I have no clue if it is a software issue and it needs a factory reset or it needs to be warranty repaired due to a hardware issue?
Appreciate your input on this one
Cheers
Nothing eh?

[Q] Galaxy S3 lockscreen hang and also unresponsive blackscreen

Hey guys,
I know there has been a couple of posts like this that I have found through searching but none have actually found a solution, so instead of resurrecting a old thread I thought I would start a new one.
Basically I am having some issues with my new pebble blue (yey) S3 . I have found that sometimes when the phone is sleeping when I press the power button to bring it out of sleep the lock screen begins to hang. This is followed by a number of different things, the screen either glitches for a bit and then begins to work or it stays locked and needs a battery pull. As well as this I've found that randomly either when charging or not and the phone is sleeping it simply becomes unresponsive, staying on a black screen and needing a battery pull to fix (this has only occured a few times, the hanging lock screen occurs quite often).
I have done some searching and found little in the way of a solution or what the problem is, however I have found that when the lock screen hangs -if it begins to work again after glitching out the 'WIFI connected to ****' appears at the bottom of the screen. Anyway if anyone has any ideas or also recieves this problem I would really appreciate some help as it's driving me crazy and I'm unsure if it is a common S3 bug or a faulty handset, in which case I have limited time to RMA.
Cheers in advance
Hmm, sounds like a faulty phone to me. Try taking it back to get it exchanged for onother one. S3 was built to fly not crawl.
You'll want to go through a process of elimination to figure out when might be causing it.
Something you can try and test with (one at a time)
-turn on airplane mode
-turn off live wallpaper
-shut down all running tasks
-change your lock screen security method
-limit the number of widgets running on all the screens
-reduce the number of active screens
Probably other things you can try to pull out of the equation, but thats a good start
After looking up dial-a-phones returns policy it would seem that I have 28 days to return if the handset is faulty, so this atleast gives me some breathing room to try out any suggestions for fixes. I will begin to eliminate each of the suggested items above however as the lock screen problem is intermittent it make take a day so actually see if it has had an effect, which is annoying at the least.
On another note a numberupted of people are stating high battery life on their devices however mine doesn't seem to be as good and I do have power saving on as well as nfc etc. turned off. This makes me believe my handset could have a fault, but tbf I haven't allowed for a discharge to 5% and the recharging to 100% which I heare allows for optimisation of the battery.
EDIT**** I have changed the lock screen previously and found it had no effect on the problem and I do not have a live wallpaper in use.
Phone Freezing after reboot and auto wifi signal found on.
Same here, been happening the last few days after I installed Avast. Also, turning off and on the auto on wifi seemed to replicate the problem.
The phone will boot to the lock screen and freeze a bit, and sometimes the news ticker freezes, and then after unlocked, I try to turn off wifi signal has been found on the notification dropdown and then tries to auto connect to wifi, the phone will freeze up if I dont turn it off in time.
Once the auto wifi connect is off and reboots, then the phone will keep glitching up until it catches up processing alot of processes it was trying to do for about 1/2 hr. Also, if phone freezes up for too long, like after trying too many time of unlocking the screen while freezing up, the phone gets stuck at the lock screen and the phone almost overheated, in an area right below the battery. I had to pull the battery out to cool it off.
It seems to be a glitch in the auto wifi, especially if alot of resources are being used. Once Avast was on my phone about 1.5GB RAM is being used sometimes and since has really slowed the phone down. Going uninstall alot of apps.

Same problem.
No problem if Wifi is switched off prior to sleep.
No problem if Wifi connection is still available.
Problem to lockscreen if Wifi connection is broken (move away from connected router).
Any suggestion?

Exactly the same here. Driving me crazy. I did root the phone using the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit. I don't know if the problem also exists on non rooted devices.
S3 black screen after unlocking
Has there anyone experience S3's screen went on black? I have pebble blue S3 - GT-I9300. Cases when unlocking, answering an incoming call or attempting to turn off an
alarm? Mine happens when after unlocking the screen then it goes black and screen becomes unresponsive. It happens intermittently and even after 3 times of
reprogramming. I am now going to have it replaced. I am having a lot of troubles -- it exits on its own when im reading or composing an SMS; files were deleted after
restarting the unit, and an app opens up even not touching the scree. This is expensive and I am paying a lot just to experience this king of inconvenience.

I also rooted my S3 a few days ago (with the S3 toolkit), and have had lots of problems with unresponsive lockscreens (I use PIN, because of exchange connection). It takes a few seconds or maybe up to as long a minute before I'm able to punch in the PIN-numbers. Before this the screen lights up but does not respond to input.
But the WiFi-connection issue might be what is the triggering factor, because after a boot it wotks just fine for several hours, if I'm not moving out of my current WiFi zone. First I thought it was either Secure Settings or Tasker that made my device lock up in this matter, but now as they are both uninstalled, the problem still occurs.
Are you running some kind of custom rom, or just the latest stock ROM, but rooted?

Just the latest stock ROM but rooted. I've found out that turning off the wifi power safe mode fixes the problem for me. To do this:
- In the dailer enter *#0011#
- Press the menu key
- Select wifi
- Press the on/off button.
The wifi power safe mode will however be turned on during boot. So rebooting will set it back on.
*#0011# seems does the trick. But is annoying had to do this every time after power off (change battery, change Sim, flying).... Anyway to keep the setting?
I am also on stock Rom and rooted. Interested to know any non-rooted phone got this problem?
BTW. I found a quick (at least quicker than pull the battery) way to get out of the forzen lock screen (sometimes forgot to do the 0011 trick): press the power button (screen will Dim instead of OFF), then hold the home button for few seconds, as soon as you see the "menu" and "back" button lit up, the lock is un-freeze...
A permanent solution is appreciated for such an advance phone....

Not that I know of.
Problem solved. For me anyway. Hope works for all of you having the same trouble.
My trouble begin with recent upgrade to LH3. My S3 was rooted by S3 toolkit v2.0. CWM installed was v4 something.
I un-rooted the phone. Uninstalled S3 toolkit v2.0. Re-installed the S3 Toolkit v5.0. Rooted the phone again (CWM become v6....).
I do not know it was CWM version caused the trouble or not. But my S3 is ok now.
I got it on my non-rooted phone, any additional solutions/suggestions? or service?
I found solution for problem . And my phone is working well. I downloaded rom file android 4.1.2 and flash my phone
JB 4.1.1 caused these WiFi issues on my phone

Exact opposite for me...never had the problem then since loading stock JB 4.1.1 with root I get lockups or freezes whenever WiFi is turned off or I leave my router's range. As soon as I disconnect from WiFi the whole phone freezes.
The *#0010# also locks up the phone when I turn off the WiFi power saving feature.
None of this happened before JB...and I replaced my phone with week via warranty due to this and the new phone does the exact same thing as soon as I upgraded to JB with root.
Any ideas?
Black screen / random reboot solution
Hi All,
I've had the black screen / random reboot issue for a few days. The only way to restore functionality on black screen lockup was to remove the battery.
I tried changing to Chrome browser and stopping the stock browser as suggested in some threads but it kept crashing.
I searched everywhere and most threads suggest a dodgy motherboard.
For me the issue was related to either a single PDF download via the stock browser or the fact I had quite alot of saved PDF files on my phone (S3 Stock firmware I9300XXELLA)
After deleting all the files listed in Internet downloads (look for Downloads with a green arrow Icon in apps) my trusty S3 has returned to normal. No black screen lockups, no hanging, runs like a dream!
I appreciate this may not solve everyones black sceeen issues but I haven't found any other thread with this solution. Hope it works for you.
Thanks,
Giz.

Thanks for the tip...
Was this happening on JB for you? You mention stock firmware (not familiar with I9300)...so I am guessing it was ICS.
For me the issues are with JB and I had no files at all in the Downloads folder after a certain point when I wiped / formatted the SDCard...so I do not think my lockups were related to PDFs. But I did (and still do) have a ton of music and a lot of movies on the External MicroSD Card....and quite a few custom notification and ringtone MP3s on the Internal SDCard. Next time I load JB I will run it a few days with none of this media loaded....

This is on JB 4.1.2, Phone had been updated to 4.1.2 for about a month. The issues started after a pdf download. Once all pdf's were deleted the handset works perfectly.

[Q] Galaxy S3 I9300 - started freezing randomly but screen plays animation

Hey guys. My S3 started freezing randomly a few days ago. What happens is that I will be playing with it and then it will literary become unresponsive along with the hardware buttons except the power button. The weird thing is that the animation on the screen is still active: say I was writing a text and the little blinking bar keeps blinking as if nothing is wrong but the phone is simply unresponsive.
I did a factory reset and it is still happening.
Anyone have any idea what the heck is happening? Is it hardware or software related?
Have a read of the freezing thread in general forum, sounds like the operating system is dealing with bad memory blocks.
Well, same thing happens to me, i looked up on that tread about bad memory blocks: well i even tested the memory and works fine, no bad memory sectors, my hardware power button responds to restart (no need to pull out battery). When it does freeze it doesn't unfreeze at all after some time ( i once let it unfreeze for entire night on charger and it stood on the same screen after 8+ hours). I even reinstalled a different software (JB 4.1.3 Darky edition) and it freezes very rarely now but when it does, it's still same kind of freeze. When it freezes it freezes mostly on Twitter app but sometimes random app. I don't know now is it really a faulty memory or just software bugs... btw dummy file didn't freeze my phone (to be clear) after i reinstalled the software, but did it before on old one
Help! Galaxy's freezing!
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem, when phone freezes nothing works except power button, when pressing it about 10 seconds, the phone reboots. I have exactly the same model (GT-I9300), but Lithuanian. The freezing lasts from 10 minutes to an infinite time. All the freezing started about three weeks ago, when google play started updating iron man game. I tried dummy file geterator, the phone hasnt freezed at all, but the phone freezes randomly when opening internet, other apps or just anytime, even when phone is on stand by. I tried flashing DarkyRom 4.1.2 XXEMB1, but the phone started freezing even more, then i recovered from the Nandroid backup, and the phone is now freezing not so frequently, about 1 freeze in 2-3 days, but it still freezes, and i also have a strange "Process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" problem. I tried every solution to this problem, but none of them works. Also, i think it is somehow connected to the freezes, because after those messages phone freezes sometimes. I dont know how to solve these super annoying problems, because i tried nearly everything, and nothing works. I think this might be a hardware issue, and that i should buy a new phone. If you know somehing, help me!
