Well I loaded in the new sprint rom last night, and now my phone is completely useless. The radio has major problems, my signal goes from nothing to 4 bars, back and fourth, and the phone goes into permanent sleep mode when I let it sit. I found this out when I woke up this morning and missed 10 calls from a client havign an emergency overnight... wonderful. I have it sitting here on the desk, and it will go to sleep and require a reset every hour or so.
I haven't had any of those problems.
WM6 lag is basically gone now and the keyboard lag is gone.
Everything is WAY more responsive and the memory leaks seem better so far.
The memory "leak" / Cacheing is more managable, and the device isn't as laggy.
I've had no problems at all. I'm loving it.

my MOGUL also goes into Perminant sleep if I let it sit.
i've had to take out the battery about 4 times just today.
anyone know why this could be?
Me too
Got the same problem installed last night. Woke up got into the car and checked phone sleeping had to soft start. Then same thing at least 3 times today. Also watched a short video in MP and it was show a few sec then sleep. Soft start and then you could watch it. Seems like after being on for a couple of hrs phone runs out of memory or something a freezes up?

Check your power setting setup, maybe it's set to turn the device completely off after 1min etc... For some reason my phone never shut off even if I let it set idle for more than 30 mins like it was set to do. Perhaps with the ROM update it actually does what it's supposed to now. Just an idea.
it's not supposed to TURN OFF as in shut down, it's just supposed to sleep. and it never comes out of sleeping mode. i've had numerous other problems, with bluetooth, etc... going back to Colonels rom, which was much more dependable.

i too loaded it yesterday as well, but i want to wonder if you did a hard reset before you installed the rom. i did it, and it gave me no problems at all with radio version 1.47.00... oh, and the phone automatically cuts off when the alarm goes off while you charge it overnight (a big no-no, but you probably know this as well, but i ain't mad at ya). if you got anything, feel free to PM me. thanks in advance.

Mine's still leaking, badly too.
Any of you try to use BT on this new rom?
If you did you'd know that this rom is worthless

The culprit appears to be the 1.47 radio. The 1.47 radio coupled with any rom version will experiance sleeping, bt and other problems.... so I am rolling back to 1.40 radio to see how it acts
As a tech in a corporate sprint store, i'd be interested in the details behind this "sleep mode" issue. What are ppl running? How can I, in the store, reproduce the problem? Is it reproducable on command or guaranteed, or is it hit or miss?
As I've said, I have the new Rom and Radio, and have no new issues, and the memory "leak" / cache issue isn't gone, but its definetly not as bad, the OS even seems to have a SLIGHTLY smaller ram foot print... maybe just a few megs smaller, but smaller on my device.

I tried that. The 1.40 radio with the new ROM still had all the new bugs.
D-pad cutting in and out...
I have found that if I push the power button to put the phone to sleep when it stops working, then turn back on, the d-pad works again. This seems to get it back to working. I wish that they could just get it right...

How do you get the new ROM?
I haven't updated yet, plan to over the weekend, but I would suggest anyone having problems to stop and consider their setup first...
What programs are installed that could cause problems?
What registry hacks have been done that may cause problems?
What configuration settings might need reset that may cause problems?
For example, after a hard reset, Enhanced Network over USB is enabled by default, and this often causes Active Sync to have issues. Likewise, power management tweaks will have reverted to defaults and you may like a more finely tuned setup.
As for memory leaks being better/worse, you may have programs installed that are out of date/buggy.
I realize it's easier to jump on the "this sucks" bandwagon, but it doesn't help you or other users with legitimate problems when no consideration is given to what is causing a given problem.
These situations are precisely why the instructions tell you that EVERYTHING will be erased. This is a good thing since it forces you to clean house, but it also means you have to pay attention to those things you often neglect or may have changed ages ago and forgotten.
Finally, if all else fails, try the ROM update again. Sometimes things go wrong.
Sorry if this seems like a rant, I just want people having issues to place blame where it truly belongs. After considering these matters, if you still have problems, definitely let HTC and the rest of us know.
Best Regards,
Aaron
Sorry, it's not anybody's installed programs. The bugs show up with nothing else but the bare ROM.
It's a train wreck.

Clean rom, nothign changed at all, it sucks, clearly. We are the beta testers obviously, as usual, with most products today
I installed the new ROM after backing up with SPB Backup, then installed my backup file back on and I haven't noticed any issues. I don't use bluetooth however, so I can comment on that. But, I haven't had the sleep issue others are describing either.
HELP!!!!!! My HD2 turns itself off automatically after about 15-30 minutes of running Android OS. I have HD2Froyo_V2.1.7z. Also installed HSPL3_PKG from XDA and Kumar's TMOUS C5 Premium V2.6. I solved my robot voice and no sound problem. Only thing left is getting it to actually stay on while running in Android. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi I have a similar problem. It happens only when I have the phone in my pocket.
My theory is that I press the shutdown button when held in the pocket and thereby turns off the phone. The best thing would have been if the feature was removed when it is in the locked position ... Do you think we have the same problem?
I'm running Duttys rom (v8) and radio 2.10.50.28_2 (HSPL 1.66)
No clue....?????
I am very new to the whole "hacking my phone" scene, if you will... I was pleased with myself for actually getting it to boot and run for a decent amount of time. My phone will just cut off (when im running Android OS), when it's in my hand, when im playing a game, when im doing just about anything in Android. It works perfectly fine in Windows, no probs what-so-ever. I had an issue with connecting to T-Mobile's 3G network, but i think i resolved that. For the most part everything works great, only prob is that the phone just resets on its own. Still very confused as to why..... HELP!!!!!!
I'm no expert on this either. Your problem sounded exactly like mine, just had to ask if it could be so in your case also.
You know what they're asking for technical support? Is the power cable in? Hehe, sometimes it can be very simple things that are wrong.
One thing that struck me was that perhaps you should look over the radio version. There are a few threads on XDA about different radio versions work with android.
Consider what I wrote at the beginning, I'm no expert
Alright. do this and it will work.
1. format your card with your phone to fat32. you need to do this. (yes again)
2. HPSL3 your phone, it seems that once you do it you wont have to do it again but this are the exact steps I did before getting the hd2 android for more than 72 hrs using 99% of the phone. (remember it is always better to have stock android)
3. I am using Chucky ROM but is HORRIBLE ugly and nasty. ROM your phone to Chucky rom or Miri Rom.
4. get Matt C Froyo version of android.
Install it. reboot. tap on CLRAD and then HRET and it will work.
I have an auto loader now it seems they all work but some are nicer. oh by the way you will use your SD card as it was th phones memory with this build, meaning the Windows version of the HD2 is safe for when Windows 7 gets a release and you decide to send to hell android as I will.
I was wondering if anyone found a solution yet for disabling all buttons except the unlock button.. this is the reason why I have been calling ppl without actually noticing I pressed keys while my phone was in my pocket. also it has shutdown few times. sucks because I miss calls that way.

I would really like to have a solution to this also. The problem is that you get an option to switch to airplane mode or turn off the phone when you long press endbutton. Even if it is locked. I want to see that when you are only in unlocked mode, the shutdown menu shows. I really hope someone fixes this.
thanks for your help, i tried doing this but that didnt help, i flashed my rom with the energy rom and the lastest mdeejay froyo 3.4. Is there a way i can fix the phone shutting down itself? to turn it back on, i have to take the batter out and turn it back on all the time.
any help pls?
Hi, i seem to have the same problem, android works perfectly when all of a sudden with no reason my phone reboots to winmo. And it has nothing to do with pressing buttons. I have it on a desk and it shuts down. I have noticed that it varies from build to build. Mmce v2.0 would cut down every few seconds. Mdeejay's builds were the most stable, but had no camera. The one I'm using right now "bangster's 1.5" with camera shuts down 1-2 times per day. I can live with that for now. PS: I would like however to thank all the developers for their hard work.

hd2 turns off I have a solution
first off this isnt a software issue at all. with much time devoted to figuring out the problem with my hd2, it randomly shuts off whenever it wants...well its simply a hardware issue. but nothing to has to do with overheating or anything like that. the battery pins are very flimsy and loose connection to the battery itself very easily. use a piece of paper and make sure its the length of the battery. and fold the paper to create a wedge in the top of the phone and the battery. place the paper wedge halfway in front of the battery as you are putting it in the phone and then gently force the battery into to place. this will create a secure connection between the battery and the pins. i promise it'll work...its just to keep the battery from bouncing and loosing connection.
its just a poorly designed battery casing not being snug enough to hold a connection with the battery. let me know if you are confused on how to do it or anything.
I'm having similar issues and I'm almost sure it's overheating.
Install Hastarin's 7.7alt version kernel which isn't overclocked on startup. This will make your phone a lot cooler after booting. Then install SetCPU and current Widget.
run SetCPU and set a profile to clock down the CPU (245-400mhz) when the Temp is above 98 degrees and to give you an Audible beep
run Current widget and pay attention to the temp. then run something like angry birds that will heat up your phone.
If it crashes at a certain heat, set SetCPU lower.
Another method to diagnose is to run Angry Birds like normal and see how long you can play before it crashes, then put some ice cubes in a double plastic bag and hold it against the lower back of the phone while you play again (after reboot of course). See if you can play longer.
I'm trying to figure out if the HD2 is still under warranty because this is a huge hassle.
EDIT: Just got off the phone with HTC TmoUS repair division and the phone is still under warranty and will be repaired at no cost except one way shipping. I'm going to stress test it in WinMo to make sure they will be able to replicate the problem and I'll ship it tomorrow. I just need to find something that's as CPU intensive as Android.
Does anybody have a solution to this? None of these answers work.
Automatically reboots
I have similar problems with my T-Mobile HD2; it was fine when I first got it (I lined up before the store opened on the day it came out) and am not running Android. It will periodically turn off and go back on again for no reason. I read somewhere that old SIM cards could be a problem and was wondering whether this was the issue as my SIM is more than 10 years old.
Over the past week or so my phone has decided just to cut off while in my pocket, it turns back on right away. I can't seem to pinpoint any particular time that it turns off because I don't know it's off until I look at, although oddly it seems to happen only when I am at home. It is rooted and running BAMF with new radio and the default BAMF kernal. Also there was a full cell phone coverage outage in my area recently if it has anything to do with the new radio.
Possibly overclocked your kernel too much? Or maybe with the new BAMF feature of waking your phone on the volume keys you are waking and rebooting your phone without realizing it?
Thanks for the reply, I will try changing kernal settings and see if I notice any change.

There's your problem, I'll bet.
I was fine with the "old" (original) radio revision, but I upgraded to the rooted, but otherwise stock "leaked" version, which included the new radio stuff. It seemed to be fine at home, but I was travelling out of town today, and it rebooted at least 5 times this morning. 3 of those times, without having really done anything with the phone. After a reboot, I'd connect to the WiFi at that site, then just let the phone sit on the table - it would reboot again within an hour. I did try with cell set to both LTE+CDMA and CDMA (auto), didn't seem to make a difference. Maybe it depends on what brand of local BSS/BTS (Nortel, Lucent, Motorola).
So, I flashed the old radio back on (didn't change anything else). It went the rest of the day without rebooting.
I realize this is just one anecdotal bit of data, but it sure points to the new radio, in my case. If you look around, others have blamed reboots on the new radio release, too.
Okay so hope this is the right spot to post this....
My phone about two hours ago was on working fine. At about 30% bat...
I took a nap and now when i plug it in to the charger it will not turn on at all.. only thing that happens is the LED blinks that orangy color over and over...
If i remove the battery and put it back in.. still nothing at all ever comes on the screen.
After removing the battery and while plugged into the charger if i hold the power button it will vibrate once and thats it...
not sure whats happening.
I was on gingeritis 1.0 and everything was great up to this point.
any ideas??
Let is attempt to charge for a while, maybe 2 hours. Then see if you can power up into the bootloader. See if that works.
I had that happen once as well. I just let it sit on the charger for about 15-20 minutes, and it booted up with no problems after that. In my case, it looked like the battery was just completely dead and needed to build up enough juice to last until after it booted up.

Ditto, try pulling battery out for 5-10 seconds, put the charger. It will not blink, then it will flash orange blinks let it sit for some 15. Minutes. Remember that TB takes alot of juice to reboot sometimes 5%.
STAY AWAY FROM ALL GINGERBREAD ROMS
My phone got stuck on the white htc screen this morning all of a sudden without any perceivable reason at all. Luckily I was able to restore to a backup.. BUT... It wouldn't install any new roms on my phone anymore for some reason.. they all get stuck on the white htc screen.
My advice.. GB is f&&&ked somewhere deep down.. and which is probably why it isn't officially released yet. Keep off of it if you don't wanna brick your phones.

That's a sign of a hardware failure I had a bad touch screen and once it went out it wouldn't boot past the splash, I'm sure it's similar with other hardware failures so it's a bad device not the gingerbread roms

Then got a pop up over and over, phone force close sorry.
Pulled battery and went recover and loaded bamf.
So th3ory came out with v4 I thought ok why not.
Then I had the dead phone problem like you are talking about.

For one all GB ROM have the data load issue when trying to uninstall. Second, if it was a issue, more people would have reported it.
Titanium Backup, a App you use in every ROM, CPU setting to low, not wipe to save some time, a multitude of things could cause you a issue.
In my defense, if it were my ROM, it would be heard.

Dude. Stop bashing the GB dev Rom. You run the risk of bricking with any Rom. Plenty of people are using GB and the 2.5 radio with no problems, myself included. If it docent work right on your phone then put something else on it. Not every phone is going to react the exact same way to a flash. Your always going to have those few exceptions, even with OTA's.

Not good advice at all.
Check your charging cable! I just had a bad cable the other day and my phone was doing the same exact thing... light bliking on and off. I found if I plugged it in and then lightly pulled it half way out the orange light stayed solid, but it took some work.
Before you start freaking out, just try another cable... hopefully its not the connectors inside your phone.

no need to get your panties in a bunch.. My advice is only worth whatever it is.. (which may be nothing too).. and I am not thrusting it on anyone to follow it.
Where the hell do you figure I am bashing devs??? The more time one spends on xda the more you come across these noob "police figures" who go around poking into unrelated stuff getting all worked up for nothing.. Like I said.. it is probably something to do with how the alpha gingerbread works at the core level which is causing all these problems.. it has nothing to do with devs.. and look around you.. plenty of people are reporting the same. I didn't see anyone complaining when devs reported the same with the earlier GB and asked people to stay away from it. Were they doing it so that they can bash other devs who had their GB roms out before they did? I don't think so. So quit shooting from your hips and move along.
If the led is blinking it means the phone is totally dead. If you let it sit the light will eventually become solid and be fine

So two days ago my rezound started randomly rebooting...I thought it was the new ICS rom I had just put on (the newest leak) so I desided to nandroid back to an older ICS that ran smoothly before. Same reboots... and the phone gets hot. So I figured I would just let it rest a night and took the battery out. No Joy.
Today, I RUU'd back to stock and things were running ok for a while... but as soon as I plugged it in my car... reboot after reboot.
I bought it at Best Buy as they had a better deal and better insurance. My only concern is that big ReLocked on the bootloader.
Has anyone successfully returned the phone after unlocking? Hoping doing that didn't negate that insurance. I guess I don't mind stepping on accident on it if need be.
Have you tried this fix?

No, I hadn't until now... will try tonight, but the phone will stay operational for a while... just seems to be when I charge it from the wall or car charger... charging using USB trickle charge, it doesn't reboot as much. I don't hink is has to do with the network connecting thing....as it does boot up and I can make calls... and search online, and use the navigator... until it just gets to hot.

I know this might be a long shot but since our devices don't have s-off, restoring nandroid backups don't restore the boot.img. did u try flashing the stock kernel? I'd try flashing the latest GB kernel, then flash the latest GB stock ruu? I had a similar issue and found out it was the kernel I was using. Was on anthrax kernel

Well, I RUU'd back to the OTA...renamed the .zip to PH___.zip and rebooted into fastboot and it updated everything. I then restart and everything is back to square one, like I just opened the box and activated it.
I presume the RUU flashes over the right kernel as released by Verizon.
I'm really thinking the battery is crapping out. can't hold a charge more the 42% and gets hot...then run out in like 20 minutes... throw in a couple reboots...and higher blood pressure ensues.

I don't have insurance, but I returned a relocked Rezound to VZ online for overheating a couple months ago with no problems.
99 out of 100 times, the rep will not check to see if the phone is relocked, let alone if he knows how to check it.
You're worrying over nothing. If the device is defective due to manufacterer defect, and breaks down becaue of said default. They will honor warranty/exchanges since they are the ones at fault. Now if you fragged your phone because of an oc, bad flash, wrong software, that's your own bad and you're on your own. Unless you have insurance and the phone met its untimely end under your vehicle.
Thanks for all the help... I went and bought a new battery for it, and it does the same thing. Re-locked and bringing it back to best buy today. Fired up my ole OG and flashed the newest MIUI release... the phone is still kicking!
So, two days without the rezound and I'm tweaking..... need to flash a Rom! (Maybe this will be good for me.....)
