[q] htc hd2 cyanogen android, important! - General Questions and Answers

Hello!
I have the MAGLDR 3.7.0 (stable) installed. I installed about 4 months or so ago, which you helped me with.
I haven't used it much at all, only for calling and sms-typing so to say. Well, it works pretty well for that. Unfortunately, I experience alot of problems.
1. I accidently put away the menu (3 buttons) away, and had to turn off and on, so I just rebooted and it got stuck. In the boot-menu, I got "Fatal fail" in red. This was when I had been surfing through the internet for only 30 minutes or so. The phone get's very hot (beneath the battery) and starts freezing and yeah.
Also, I downloaded a game, after 20 minutes it got heated a little bit and froze. Took out battery, power on and it says GO GO GO, but it is stuck. You'll have to wait probably 10-15 min so the phone cools down, for then give it a try and you can get it on. Little freaky, to be honest - at least first time when it happend!
Also when I went into internet, it froze.
What can be the problem? I mean, it works just fine for calls and sms-typing, but for internet and apps and so on, I experience so much trouble it's annoying.
Can you please help me? Have you experienced these problems? Thanks ALOT for all inputs and suggestions you can give me!
---
Also, now after I surfed a little (10 min) plus started Angry Birds after 5 min, it freezed.
Now after pulling in and out battery several times, I can't get it on. I waited 5 min, got it on, but got stuck at the main menu after inserting SIM-code.
What should I do? Really frustrating and annoying!! PLEASE HELP!!!!
I don't really know why this is happening. Also, when I installed, I was supposed to install clockwork recovery 150 mb with 5 mbCACHE, but accidentely installed only without cache since the guy helping me out gave me that link.
Anything will help guys. Hope this thread gets some recognition, and gets a hot topic with many inputs. Thanks yet again!!

The HD2 was quite notorious for overheating. It sounds like your handset has developed this quirk over time, too.
There are several projects around to improve the heat-dissipating efficiency of your HD2. They all require disassembly, though.
Sorry to hear of your troubles

maybe download an app to underclock it to alleviate some of the problems.

That's a great idea, too!

As far as the 3 buttons dissapearing,if you swipe down from just above them they hide,if you swipe up they come back.you can change the behavior of it in settings.

So guys, I changed my mainmenu layout (the NEXUS one, with stripes flashing all over the screen), and it works alot better. The ram, everything really.
Browsed 10 min, and it didn't get heated almost at all.
Could really the desktop really be the problem??
Strange!

Absolutely. If you're running a live wallpaper all the time, that's working your GPU constantly. Terrible for battery life, too ;-)

Thank you!!!
But I changed my live wallpaper, from you know the NEXUS flashing one? Stripes flashing from side to side, till a random CyanogenMOD-picture wallpaper.
When I did this manuvear, the phone and the CPU didn't overheat, nor did it freeze, it worked really well.
Unfortunately, I experience extreme battery drain.
Normally with standby through the night, perhaps maximum 5-10% would be off the battery drain with NEXUS-livewallpaper, but with this it is down to 51%. It's sucking battery like a MADMAN.
Any help?

Battery is often related to the kernel you're running. How old is your battery? If it's been subject to heat for a long time, the cells may be aging quicker than normal.

Probably approx 1-2 years old. The heating was related to Cpu overheat, not battery. Thanks for help bro. Anymore help is hihgly appreaciated

The SoC sits directly under the battery in the HD2. If your SoC has been overheating constantly, your battery has too. Have you ever seen your battery randomly drop ridiculous % over a few minutes?

[Q] Is yours getting warm?

My sensation is getting warm @ the bottom while using (normal tasks: messaging, mail).
It's not hot it's slightly warm. Anyone else having this issue?
Yes, although it doesn't seem as bad today as it was yesterday.
apparently if you turn off Wifi, you problems will disappear! Lol. Joke.
Mine has only gotten warm never full blown hot. Usually cools right back down. I figure it was just the dual-core working .

Mine gets a bit warm during moderate/heavy usage but I would say it's normal..
yeah, i was about to post.
Mine is very warm, as soon as i use it, it begins to heat, up to 109°f (43°C) when i use internet.
Using only mobo player, it's a stable 103°F (39.5 C)
it's very hot, i do not understand.
I stopped a lot of background sync, no difference...
any idea?

I would call for a replacement battery if it's that bad.
I haven't had any issues...though keep in mind I'm coming from a G2X that would burn my hand off.

My Sensation has been running very hot right out of the box. I have had it for a little more than 26 hours and it concerns me how hot it actuallly runs. Also just a few minutes ago I started getting a notice that the device had reset in an improper manner and asked if I wanted to report it to HTC. This has come up twice in the last 2 hours. I had the device setting on a table in a restaurant and thought i heard it do something now I know it was rebooting itself. The very high temps continue. I have a G2x and have not had all the issues other are reporting although it does get a little warm 96 degrees at times. I am at the point where I am going to take the Sensation back and wait for a short time and see if more kinks are worked out. The Sensation is a marvelous phone and will be almost untouchable if there are a few software updates to fix issues. Just do not want to wait like I have and did with the G2x and try to put up with overheating etc. I do really like the Sensation though.

Phone slowing down

I tried searching before posting this. I didn't see any post which matches my problem, so I'm creating this new thread. I have an HTC Sensation 4G. I am using the Anrdroid Revolution Sensation XE (ICS + Sense 3.6) ROM by Mike. My phone has really slowed down. If I reboot, it works fine for some time (a few hours), but after that, it really takes ages to respond. Sometimes it just goes into a loop (of getting stuck). Like, I get the screen which says loading, then it shows the home screen after about half a minute or so, and immediately shows the white HTC screen and then the cycle repeats. I think it's running out of RAM. Is there an app which shows the RAM usage so that I can take a screenshot and post it here, so that you guys can see and advice me what can be done? Also, the battery life has really gone down in the last 2 days. Previously, I used to get at least 20-22 hours (at least) on a full charge. But for the past couple of days, I've been getting only 8-10 hours. It may be because of some app/widget that I installed that is running in the background and taking up a lot of the CPU. I really need to sort out these issues. Kindly help. Thanks.

you don't require an app to see the ram usage
just go to settings->apps->running
that will show you all the apps that are running also...how much ram is used and how much ram is free (at the bottom of the screen once you open all the running apps)...this will even show you which app is using how much ram
Okay, I can check my RAM usage from there. But I still need a solution. And something's seriously wrong with my battery. A full charge and 2 hours 45 mins later, it's down to 60%. How do I figure out the problem?
Try the better battery stats app on xda and look at partial wake locks. Give it a few hours to collect data. That will tell you what keeps waking your phone. I had a battery that was only lasting a few hours. Better Battery stats told me the media process was running constant. I formatted my SD card and now back to 17-18 hours. I had a bad media file on the card.

You may want to provide more information on what options you chose when installing ARHD...
Also, it sounds as though you may have an app forcing a wakelock. Run a search for how to investigate that...
I guess you're right and it can cause because an app taking a lot of RAM..
I had a similar problem but a factory reset fixed it ..maybe it's worth a try?
I think I may have just figured it out. I uninstalled Perfect App Protector - FREE (had installed it 3-4 days ago). 3 hours and the battery's still 95% (that's because I hardly used my phone since the last full charge). For now, I'm guessing that the problem's solved.
But I really need an app lock software. Any recommendations?

Rather than app lock...you can do app freeze..its pretty efficient...and you can do it via titanium backup....remember once you freeze the app it won't be visible in apps and can only be unfreezed by titanium backup only

No, I don't want to freeze apps, I want to lock certain apps, to prevent other people from accessing it. I installed Perfect App Protector - FREE for that purpose and it did a really good job. I'd have stuck to it, if only for the battery drain. I need alternatives to this one. It's been 6 hours since a full charge and my battery is at 78%. It seems to be working fine now.

Weird battery problems...

Ok guys,
I bought my Sensation (Normal) 3 months ago. After 5 days I started using an1730mAh battery (Evo3D/Sensation XE, original from HTC).
Since that date my Sensation is getting extremely hot. After 10 minutes web-browsing, or 20 minutes playing any (!) game, you can't touch the phone at the screen. I would say it's about 60°C hot, different battery widgets show constantly 11,5°C.
The last days, I noticed something weird:
After closing a game (15 minutes playing), the temperature won't settle down, and... my battery drains from 85% to 34%. This happens in maybe in 2 minutes. After that, the battery drains to 4% in 10 minutes, then the phone shuts down.
I noticed this problem with any Sense 4.0 Rom, doesn't matter which Kernel or frequency.
With ARHD, I have only the insanely overheat problem.
With the normal battery, the same thing happens.
I calibrated the battery, full charging cycles, nothing helped.
I don't know what to do, would be great if someone could help me. Please ask me if I forgot some details.

From my previous experience, I will advice you to stay away from arhd rom cos it caused my phone to heat up too. Try any other Rom with Sebastian' s kernel. Should fix your heating issue.

Well, I can think of 2 options
1. Switch to another Sense 3.6/AOSP/etc ROM - InsertCoin is stable and in 3 months of using I havent had any issues with overheating, Virtuous Inquisition is not bad at all and the list goes on, I just wrote my personal favorites
2. Warranty - bring it to your seller and complain
Im not an expert, but hope it helped

Major battery issue...

Hi there,
I'm using a almost 2-years old HTC Sensastion and I was having huge battery problems for the last few days.
It all started back in february when my phone started shutting itself off just like that, showing strange battery stats (after a phone-forced reboot, 70 % of my battery would be gone), etc. So I checked some threads on XDA and came to the conclusion that my standard HTC battery wasn't functioning properly anymore. Per the advice given by some users here, I bought an Anker 1900mAh which worked fine for the past few months.
Unfortunately, the problems started again last week. Loosing battery whithout even using the phone, weird reboots which resulted in an apparently empty battery, etc. I wiped everything but the sd card and installed a new rom, but that didn't solve the problem either. So I suspected the Anker battery - you never know if you get a somewhat broken battery...
I bought another Anker 1900 mAh battery last week, but my phone is still acting weird. I didn't have any more forced reboots, but sometimes the phone just shuts down without me doing anything. Unplugging the battery for a few seconds is the only way to get it started again.
For example yesterday: I used the music app and Sygic Aura as a navigation app for about 30 minutes (screen on the whole time). The phone had 100 % battery in the beginning and after I shut everything off, it still had 95%. 10 Minutes later though the battery dropped by (!) 10 %. Just like that.
I got home and kept the phone running for about 8 hours (just "sleeping"..no data connection, no wifi, no app running). After 4 hours, the battery lost 20 % just like that. I've installed some "battery apps" to get to the bottom of this:
8 hours of just laying there:
12 hours of just laying there:
----
I'm a little concerned that this might be hardware related and that I might have to get a new phone. Changing the battery didn't solve the problem. Could it be an overheating issue? When I got home yesterday I noticed that my phone was really hot (it was freaking hot in my car though as well...).
I've been using that MIUI rom for almost a year I reckon and I've never had any problems remotely to this, so I don't think it's a software problem (at least not ROM related).
I hope you can help me
probably i think there is no proper contact
did you try to put a piece of paper ibetween the pins to improve contact?
No, I haven't.Do you mean on top of the battery or should I put the piece of paper on the bottom of the phone so that it's like

edit:try both ways
The Sensation is a bit funny in the way that it reports battery usage, and can jump all over the place even on light usage. Try rebooting if you get a big jump and see if it goes back up.
Edit: Woot 100th post!
That would mean that the Sensation shuts itself off because it misreads the battery percentage? That seems highly unlikely to me. But I'm no expert

Really disliking this phone...

I was so bullish on this phone when I got it. I convinced my whole family and some friends that THIS was the phone to buy. I did a jump upgrade from my note 5 to this one.
I really don't like it...
There's just so many things... But it really comes down to battery and performance.
Even though it has the same size battery as the note 5, it seems to get a lot less use time or even sleep time. I finally... Got my promo battery (stole my brothers, even though I did mine first, it still says awaiting ship) so hopefully it won't be as much of an issue but it just dies too fast. The standby time is really killing me though. With the note, when it was in my pocket not being used it would hardly drop at all, this drops noticeably.
Every so often, doesn't happen all the time but when it does.... Happened last night when I was on a job. The phone (even when sitting in my pocket doing nothing) gets piping hot and murders the battery before my eyes. I tried clearing recent apps, restarting the phone... Nothing helped. Luckily I had an external battery pack on me. Problem seemed to fix itself after a few hours.
Performance... The stuttering and lag here and there... Whatever, I can deal with that. But when the performance affect the bluetooth playback.... I mean when the phone can be right next to the headset but it will still cut in and out because the phone is getting overworked.... Not cool.
Second screen is practically useless. One of the main points is to get notifications out of your way... Messages from most chat clients still want to do a heads up notification on the main screen and there doesn't seem to be a way to move them to the second screen... To me, this was a big sell of the phone.. Maybe an update? Idk.. Its already been a few months and crickets.
On that note, why the hell can't I customize the info on the second screen?? I want battery percentage. How about instead of a effing cloud it said the temperature?? Wtvr.. That's never gonna happen.
That top left light bleed is ridiculous.
Screen just isn't nearly as bright as the note 5.. I guess I can't really blame them because samsung just has the best screens.. But it seems to lose alot of light when you aren't looking at the screen dead on.
What samsung did with the dpi on the note 5 is what everyone should have done a long time ago with big phones. Helps with productivity. Whenever I see a note 5...i hate the big everything on this phone...
Even though I still have my note 5 (have to do the jump switch in the store) I'm out of my buyers remorse for the v10, so I'd have to keep both of I wanted the note 5.. I can waste one of my jumps to go back to it... But I'm not gonna do that.
Look, these are obviously first world problems but still.. Why do we have these problems on a supposedly high end phone. Most of this is software that they can fix if they felt like it....

Oh, and I hate that I need to wait a second for the phone to want to turn on when I take it out of my pocket. First the second screeched to turn on then I can turn it on.... Super annoying..
I can relate to a few of these things coming from a note 4..the battery life was pretty stellar on the note 4 plus I had an extra battery which was nice.
I like the second screen mainly for calendar events.. I like having a reminder of what I have coming up for the day.
I don't feel that this is a huge upgrade from my note 4 but the build quality is nicer.
I'm hoping marshmallow will improve the battery some more..
Overall I'm okay with the phone, feels a bit big at time but overall I'm okay with it
And yeah, wish all notifications would show up on the second a even, I have that problem too.

If the phone is running hot in standby, something's wrong. If the issue persists after factory resetting the phone, it's probably defective and should be replaced under warranty.
Battery wise ... my V10's standby time has improved a lot now that the battery has gone through charge/recharge cycles and got calibrated. I take it off the charger at 7:30 AM, stream music for 20 min while driving, send a few texts and emails during the day, read a few articles (so ... light use) and by 5 PM I still have 85% battery left. This is in a huge building with Verizon repeaters on the roof.
As far as piping hot battery drain, something is causing that. It's not normal.
Lag, my note 5 lags just as much as this phone. Not much.
Have you done a full factory reset yet?

hmm.. i was thinking about a warranty replacement.. It's just so much work to transfer anything if it wont even help. Wanted to see if anyone else is having these issues. I guess I'll exchange it then..
You could try and monitor your apps using gsam battery or else. Use factory reset as your last resort, if your V10 is still acting funny, return it to get a new one.
That being said, the Snapdragon 808 isn't without flaws, it easily warms up (at least some of the 808 out there) on light use, others can overheat (mine did on my G4). It's not as wide spread as the 810 but if you visit any given G4 forums on Xda or elsewhere, there will be complaints about that.
Last but not least, battery life was going to be one, if not the main weakness of this phone, same battery in the G4 (same capacity since the G2...) and the G4 has a smaller display and just one screen, and battery life was never its strong suit, so moving on go the V10... Well, there's that.

Those with the battery drain issue has has a huge success rate by the factory reset. I had it too, and factory reset fixed it. I even used the LG backup for some things, messages and call logs. Not settings and definitely not apps. I let the apps download from the store on their own.
Lag often happens during fast battery discharge. Something is using a lot of power and that will create lag.
My opinions are neutral, as I have had both, and enjoyed both phones. I have had a overall better experience with the V10 though. But, the V10 does have some flaws that are hopefully fixed with a software update soon.

It's amazing how some rogue apps can screw with battery life. I get mostly great battery life....I have over 700 downloaded and system apps and use greenify and sdmaid to tame most of them.
One day I installed a bunch of games and Snapchat beta to test out. My battery life took a dump. I couldn't figure out which one it was, so I uninstalled all of those from that day. Now...back to normal

The note had its fair share of issues too. Its just a matter of finding what issues you want or may need to deal with.
In my case, the note couldn't handle opening office documents and running outlook without completely freezing up.

I think your problems are abnormal OP. No probs with battery life and getting at least 2 more hours of SoT than my Note 5. Also the heat and battery drain are definitely not normal.
If the note 5 gets like 4.5 hrs of on screen time could you tell me how you're getting at least two more hours?

I freeze or remove all apps that are draining battery and useless and use Greenify to sleep the phone and save wear and tear on the power button. I also get 6h SoT with Bluetooth on all the time.

Can I see what your app usage is?

My standby seems to be good. Charge it to 100%, if I let it sleep it's still at 100% or 99-98% an hour or two later. Only heating/drain I've had recently with it was when I tried setting up a outlook.com email using the exchange server. Killed and disable that, set it up thru imap.
Haven't noticed any major lag or stuttering, then again I close and greenify regularly. Some apps once in a while I need to refresh when it pops up a connection issue, could be the app or my network.
I've only tried bluetooth with my clock radio and anker speaker, both good.
Second screen light bleed seems to fall into two camps, a little bit which is only noticeable in a dark room, or very noticeable. I'm in the little bit camp. LG should have done a better job there. I never notice the bleed when the main screen is on, and when the main screen off I have the second screen off because it is so dim it is pointless. Only time I notice it now is during a restart. Some customization optimization options for the second screen would be good. Is widget support even possible on the second screen? Considering I'm on Verizon, probably will never see any good updates like that.
Coming from a BlackBerry I'm enjoying the V10 and the amount of customization I can do. Plus I can get some good pics of my daughter. Here's to hoping for some software tweaks from LG......
