Barely one week after getting my HTC HD2, I realized that HTC Sense tend to crash. However, good news is that it will restart itself and pretend that nothing has happened, except that I have turned on Microsoft Error Report sending.
Actually, this problem happens a few times per day. Last night, when I sleep, I plugged in my charger and this morning, I had 3 reports of crash. I don’t think this is only my problem. It should be common to anyone with same software.
I really wonder why or how it happens. Is it because of the hotfixes, or is it because I have changed something? Let me know if you have the answer.
While typing this post, it freezes up the screen again. It may take 5 minutes to recover or I will need to restart. BTW, I actually restarted it a while ago because it cannot synchronize with my computer.
Anyway, here is a short video of the freeze.
If you notice, only HTC Sense is not functioning well. The honeycomb Windows Mobile 6.5 screen is still active and able to activate some programs. Hopefully, someone can solve my problem.
Here is the ROM version of my HTC HD2.

Hi Joe, it did happen to my phone maybe 3 times. But I am willing to overlook that simply because I think this is still considered a Fantastic phone… however, it saps the batt dry very quickly. What do you think?

I did some checks myself and I discover that once I downloaded MyPhone SMSes (about 3.2K), it slow down or hang the phone. Since then, I have archived my SMSes and limit to less than 1.5K.
Yes, I think the phone is fanastic and Yes, the battery could barely last a day as I use the phone so often to check email, surf the net, twitter, camera, video and etc..

I have similar problems. Just got my HD2 yesterday and had to reformat (hard reset it). First thing after hard rest was to sync with myphone… and the same problem came back. The HD2 Today interface loads verrrrryyyy slowly if at all. The honeycomb works well, but the whole phone is slugish.

jared coover: One of the main issue is the auto Twitter update. Once it is updating, it will freeze up the screen and cause the phone to be very hot (3G signal, I guess). I have seen stop using the auto update. As for the crashed on the Sense UI, it did not happen again after I changed the settings. Plus, I deactivate the send error report function.

Joe, which settings did you change to fix the crashing?

KJB17: I did not change any settings. I updated the latest software and I identified that Twitter software is one of the main cause. If you have many followers, once you do an update on the timeline, it will “freeze” for 3 to 5 mins and then resume normally. Now, I disabled the auto update and seems to be doing fine.

I have had the HD2 for 6 months and it has almost become unusable, it crashes 15-30 times a day and then restarts about 15 times before it boots properly…I am trying to update firmware now but it keeps crashing…when it worked it was a great phone, but it’s very buggy and it gets very very hot!
