My opal is very slow from the day I bought it. When I receive a call, it starts vibrating, takes about 3 seconds to display the number of the caller, and then another 3 seconds before the ring tone starts playing.
I have tried cleaning it up, but of no use? And if I cant install lots of software, then whats the use of buying a Windows Mobile
Is this a common problem? Is there a solution to it?
Do you a storage card installed? If yes try remove it and see if speed increased!
hey my friend
i really dont know but my opal fast and great since the day i bought it lol
and my memory card is 4GB so i dont think there is problem with the memory card and is the slow on the call only or in the whole pda i mean even when you moving btween programs and could you tell me please how much the processer reading or the memory ....
I see the slowness only when the phone rings, or when a call comes on "waiting"... Otherwise, I dont mind the speed.
I have tried removing the card, which was just one gb, but no changes. I have tried hard-resetting, which was of no use. (i have ordered an 8GB card now, knowing that it is not the card, which is causing a problem)
i can even play call of duty 2 with my opal so ur hardwres got a problem most likely

Just wondering if anyone else has or is experiencing any of these issues.
Had a HTC TyTN II for about a year now (I think).
Sometimes turning it on, the screen doesn't sync properly. You get the waivy lines, and have to hit the power button a few times to turn it off and back on, eventually it turns on properly.
Device cannot read MicroSD cards.
I'm thinking one of the cables that connects the top part of the device to the bottom is coming loose, however, I knoticed that when doing hard resets, it lowers the frequency of this happening, until the device gets filled with data and apps... This is the second time ive done the hard reset to make it usuable.
Super odd... Typicly if a hard reset fixes it, it woulnd't be hardware issues, but I still have issues with the MicroSD card.
Just wondering if anyone has any hardware failure stories.
Tried changing spl's and radios yet ?
sorry for the hijack but do you or anyone else have an issue with a bluetooth headphone. i've tried different bluetooth devices and on incoming calls if i use the bluetooth to answer the callers hear a loud screeching sound for a second. but using the same headset if i press the answer button on the phone the screeching doesn't occur. i've tried 3 different headsets and all had the same issue. any ideas??
SPLs?
I havn't modified the firmware or anything whatsoever. Running HTC firmware. No special addons or mods..
Then your warranty should come to the rescue - see what they say!

Then if it's a HTC TyTN II, the warranty is just over a year (I think it was about 15 months on mine) so it'd be worth contacting HTC pronto with your phone to hand to see if you can get it fixed under warranty. Let us know how you get on.
Wow,
So I noticed that the MiniSD card reader has been going lately. Card goes in, it doesn't recognize it. have to put it in 20 times to get it to recognize it.
ANYWAYS....
I decided to take the card out, cuz its pissing me off and almost pointles. BAM the phone became super responsive. When u hit the power button the screen turns on instantly. When your on a phone call and press hangup, it hangs up normally (there was a 10 second delay before that it would take to turn the screen back on and hang up the call).
So I think its JUST the microSD slot thats fried, i think since its kinda working, it was causing freezing issues and caused the phone to freeze, etc...
I don't care that it doesn't work. Ive sent stuff in for warranty before, I always get stuff back in worse condition then i sent it with new stuff broken. I cant go without exchange push for longer than 4 hours at night, so im going to live without the microSD card. lol
Thanks anyways guys!

Wow indeed. Maybe the problem is related to the card itself or whats on it. Try backing up the card (using its usb reader) then reformat it in FAT32 and with the phone totally powered off insert it. Boot up and see how the phone then performs. If this still proves problematic and you don't want to get it fixed under warranty there's not much anyone can do to help I'm afraid.
Card is fine! Tried 5 others, lol.
maybe some pins are crossed or something inside the slot.
Mine is having same problems exactly. sometimes if i reboot with the slide open it will work ok sometimes not wtf
Weird... thats odd that someone is having the same issue...
OMG ITS THE Y2K9 bug!!!
Hi all
I have a problem about volume in my viva, volume is very low
even in maximum. when i restart the device there is no problem but
after 10 or 15 mins volume goes down, every sound play is low,
ringtones, music, movies ...
hard reset doesn't solve problem, even i install eset anti virus cus
i think that might be a virus problem but problem still exist.
what is the problem? please help
thanks in advance
Have you tried a HArd Reset?
Yes but it doesn't solve the problem
thanks Diagrax for your response
Well can u explain more into depth of of your situation?
always helping
Might be a problem in the ROM.
What ROM are you using?
when i reset my viva hard or soft everything is just ok but after 10 or 15 mins
sometimes an hour the sounds played are not as loud as it should be
even when volume is at max
at this time when i play a movie the sound and movie play faster than normal!!!
strange problem ha?
and i'm using 1.26.488.2 WWE ROM version
if im not mistaken theres a newer official rom
You can try flashing another ROM, it might work.
I'm using this one. You can also try a WM6.5 ROM but, personally, I think that they still have a few bugs that needs ironing out.
same problem with my Viva....
i emailed HTC's tech support and they said that maybe some 3rd party software might be causing it.
what i did was: i removed all the unneccessary Notification queues (scripts) using SKTools... these notification queues are either made by 3rd party alarm clock apps or by script makers like Mortscript, which i also uninstalled... in my case, it was pTravel alarm that's causing it... i also tried Mortplayer and it was also causing it because of mortplayer's alarm function. (don't try Mortplayer, i had to do a hard reset just to remove it)
best thing to do is: uninstall all 3rd party alarm clock software, check the notification queues for unneccessary ones and restart your phone.
I'm not sure that was a third party problem cus i hard reset
my viva many times and hard reset remove any third party
softs but that not resolve the problem.
and i have good news , after doing many tests finaly i decide
to remove my SD card and then hard reset the device.
and yes , that worked for me but when i insert SD card again
the problem appears , what does that mean? is that mean that
i never can use a SD card ?
Thanks all for help
Your SD could have a currupted file or your whole SD is....and is causing something wrong when your device reads it, and causes your present problems. fixing this problem is easy yet hard
what's the capacity of your microSD? are there lots of files?

It's my damn problem too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548963
I've no SD card, no 3rd-party program !
ROM Version: 1.27.415.3 WWE
SOS Please
i had htc s 710 befor and i had this problem with it and now i have viva and i have this problem again my sd card is the same that i used in my s710
yes it's not a 3rd party software problem... because my viva's problem came back!
i already did a hard reset with NO other apps installed then after one hour, the volume softens (you can't barely hear the ringtones and mp3s) and the sound speeds up.
but when there's no microsd inserted, the volume is loud and the music speed is normal even after so many hours.
i tried both 8gb (Ridata) and 4gb (Kingston) microsd... after an hour... boom! same problem.
is this a microsd "brand" problem?
I've no SD card !!!
It could either be you have currupted files in your sd or it's a sound driver gone wrong but the "currupted files on an SD is closer to the logic"
even WITHOUT the microsd card, the problem happens.
i think no one can fix this broblem
my phone works ok now however it had broblem 4 days ago
i moved any folders that was in my storage card in to my document and now its ok but i am not sure that this is the problem i realy dont know what to do
i found out that instead of soft resetting the Viva, you can just call your own number and enable the speaker... then the sound will be back to the normal volume and speed.
check it out if it'll work on your Viva... but of course you'll hear a busy line when you dial your own number.
the speaker on my x1 has become pretty iffy, it won't play unless i tap it sometimes. now i have to leave it on vibrate at all times because it usually won't even ring.
& with my memory card, for some reason it says "not installed" when i check. i'm using the original card it came with and haven't had any trouble with it till now. i've tried to take it out and put it back in. also soft reset but nothing. does anyone know how to these issues?
same problem here..
gonna send the phone for a check
I have the xperia for almost 10 months. I have the original UK rom. Some of my problems are:
1) Τhe phone is over heating, not only when i charge it, but during the day too. In addition to this, when i charge it after about 5-6 hours the battery is dead without using the phone at all!! Sometimes, when i take it in my hands and is hot(without having used it in the meanwhile) i have to put it in the FRIDGE to drop the temperature!
2) It stucks all the time! It seems like it has very bad response times, because when i use the keyboard(virtual & hardware) it stucks so that i cannot write not even an sms properly. This happens with all apps too.(i have to wait a lot before they start running)
3)I have installed all the apps in the storage card but still the storage memory decreases!! I deleted opera's history, cookies and cache, also tried the "clear temp" app, but the storage memory still goes down and i get the annoying message of insufficient memory, but i don't know what else to delete to free up memory.
4)When i pull off the headphones the icon it is still there, and if i have a call they cannot hear me, neather can i. It is really distrurbing.
5) the camera app takes way too long to open and usually the images that i take are foggy and bad quality.
So, PLEASE GUYS TELL ME WAHT TO DO!!! I JUST CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!! i feel that the 500 euros i gave didn't worth it, something that makes me reaaly mad!
1) I think put X1 in the FRIDGE is a big mistake. (At least what I know) If your phone is getting hot then you just put it in fridge, it will make dew inside the motherboard. So your X1 won't operate well.
2) Hardware keyboard in X1 is malfacturing. Many X1 keyboard active users complained it. About virtual kb is usually caused by third party application. Maybe for software issue, you may hardreset it, and install less applications. SESC will repair the Hard Kb issue.
3)As I know, not all of application installed to Storage Card means they only use the Storage Card. Sometimes, they also need to install some part of the application dll or bla bla bla to internal memory to make them run. And of course, the leave footage memory.
4&5)Hmmm, it may relate to point 1) about putting your X1 in fridge
My advice, 1st Hardreset (Don't forget backup important information: using Active Sync or PIM Backup), then if the problem still continues (since you have X1 with original SPL and ROM, bring it to SESC, hope they'll fix it)
Correct me if I am wrong.
Hello guys! This is my first post after visiting xda developers everyday for the past two weeks so bare with me...
I recently purchased an HTC HD7 from ebay at a very good price. I thought all was well with the free shipping and all...until the phone started restarting after the first day. So I panicked, searched on google and up pops up xda developers forum! It offered alot of solutions to many problems regarding resetting and restarting.
However after extensive research for the past two weeks, I finally recognized that the problem was the 'internal' SD card. The sellers from HK from whom i bought the phone had voided HTC warranty to insert one of their low class, cheap SDHC cards (which explains the reduction in cost) causing it to fail drastically as a phone. I know this happened because of a shiny warranty sticker with a bunch of chinese symbols on it. Updates won't work, factory reset happens on it's own, restarting even when i simply open up the messaging app and of course the infamous "storage card not working" error.
I've decided I cannot and do not want to send back my phone back in exchange for a new one since i will encounter the same problems. I've decided to have them compensate me for any repairs I have to make. So I read an article on xda dev about upgrading memory to 32GB using SanDisk Class 2 SDHC. Problem is, it is quite out of reach in my country so I would like to know a full list of compatible SDHC cards (not necessarily 32 gb). Also, what other hardware problems might be causing the occurances mentioned? I doubt it's a software problem, but say it is, what might be causing it?
Thank you!

I think your probably right, more than likely it is due to the cheap SD card!
The good thing is that almost all the newer manufactured SDHC cards will work in the HD7, class 2, through 10.
I would recommend at least the 8gb or the 16gb for storage capacity and a class 4 for read/write speeds.
Stay with a better brand like SanDisk or PNY.
Purchace it from someone that has a decent return policy, just incase you get a dud.
Run the CrystalDiskMark 4000mb test on it and post your results in the "upgrade your HTC HD7 memory to 32gb" thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883582
and they will be able to tell you if its a sufficient SD card for the HD7.

Where can I hit the thank you button? I cannot find it :S Also the phone is deteriorating day by day....Now it is out of battery and when i charge it, it goes into a loop of the HTC splash screen and a windows loading screen. It then freezes and repeats. Is there anything else that might be contributing to this? thanks!

It's definitely possible and I wouldn't rule out a software issue, but I think the signs are pointing to a non- compliant SD card
The devices OS is reliant on the SD card to store user data and cache, contacts, SMS, emails and apps, without an SD card inserted or having a faulty SD card would cause these operations to crash and cause system errors when powering on the device, this in turn prevents it from operating and the system from loading and cause file system performance issues, device lockup, reset or boot loop.
Are you sure that they even put an SD card in your device? They or the original owner may have removed the SD card and not installed another one. Either way, I would start with putting a new SD card in your device and go from there!

Yes I am sure they put in an SD card because i removed the back panel and it is clearly visible. One thing I find annoying is that they removed the protective metallic paper used to protect and hold the SDHC in place. Is there a way to use an alternative to this protective paper? I have also noticed the phone does have some on board memory ( 11MB) to be able to run. However there is no place for anything, messages, contacts, even for running applications such as IE! I'm guessing it is some kind of emergency memory? Anyways, my worry is that i feel that metallic strip is somewhat important so I would like to know how to replace it? Your help is very much appreciated!!!

It sounds like it's not recognizing the SD card. Can you get the phone running and goto settings, about phone and check to see what it says for storage capacity. It should show, total storage and available storage.
As far as the metalic tape... I know that it's there to help prevent the SD card from coming out of the tray. Because WP7 Mango security locks the card to prevent any data from being removed from the card. So say you removed the card without unlocking it first, there is no way to extract the data from the card or format it with another device. If the HD7 is turned on without the SD card installed the card will no longer work in the device either.
Not a 100% sure if the tape serves any other purpose though. You could cut a piece of duct tape to fit and secure it in place use the good kind like gorilla duct tape.

I have successfully inserted a 32Gb SanDisk SDHC Class 4 in my phone just a few hours ago. I performed a hard reset as instructed. When I booted up, the HTC splash screen showed up and it froze. For roughly 5 minutes...I plucked out the battery and again performed a hard reset. This time the device loaded with an error saying: low storage space please free up some space from your device. I tapped 'ok' and all I had was a black screen, although i know the OS booted up because i could hear system sounds, the bottom buttons were responsive and the lcok screen was visible. However when I slide up, no icons are visible except the wifi icon, the battery icon and the sim icon.
I tried loading the bootloader and as far as storage goes it is only recognizing some sort of 64MB partition from an "sd sandisk". Could this be a faulty installation of the OS on the new card? was I supposed to allow the system to take its time to load the software onto the new SD card? I am also unable to obtain the bootloader version etc that would be required to flash an RUU. Help would be appreciated!

That's strange... The HD7 has an internal (primary) seperate memory for the OS, the SD card is a secondary memory for the device. Technically it's a non removable storage. So once inserted, you hard reset the device and the SD card is formatted and then it becomes a part of the device and it's integrated into the file system.
If you boot into bootloader mode (device off, hold down the volume down button and power the device back on, while continuing to hold down the volume down button) what's all the information on the bootloader screen? I'm wondering if it's bricked. Can you also get into USB host mode? Device off, hold down the volume down button and the camera button and then power back on.

The device was not bricked. I inserted another SDHC card I had used for an old MP4. It was an 8GB TEAM SDHC class 2. The device booted up the OS on this card after a formatting and everything worked better than previously. However some restats were still happening. I tried loading the bootloader in an attempt to flash a custom ROM for the device but no USB text was seen on screen although Zune was recognizing the device perfectly. I decided to leave the device as is. Yesterday, I migrated to my grandma's for a week and I have a room where reception is great always full and no interruptions. A curious fact was that the phone did not restart once no matter how much I used it... and I did use it extensively downloading apps for the first 3 hours, constantly chatting on facebook, emails HTC hub and also voice recognition for messaging and searches. It was working 100% great. When I descended down the stairs (my room is on the first floor) and went to the kitchen I recieved a call from my girlfriend. I picked it up and reception was pretty bad, so I told her to message me instead. As I cut I realized the reception bar was zero. After a couple of minutes, the phone restarted for the first time since my stay at grandma's. I came to the inevitable conclusion that the mobile restarts everytime the reception is bad. This conclusion was backed up by working fine in my room and restarting every time I went to a low reception room. It hit me then that my house does have pretty bad reception where I reside most of the times which causes all those restarts. I am almost sure this is the cause of the restarting. However I am not sure what it infers... Regardless I am sending the phone back in exchange for a new one. However I do wish to know if anyone encountered the same problem, what they did to tackle it (besides running around like a madman to find reception), what causes this and if it is a model defect or a rare case. Thank you for your help!

Yeah... If you can exchange it for another one I would!
If in bootloader mode the white section will display "serial" while not plugged in and "USB" while plugged in, if neither of these are present then the device is half/small bricked for sure, even if it's recognized by Zune. That can be fixed with the goldcard/ Y cable method too.
I have heard of some people having issues with restarts when on their network and while roaming outside of their network. One thing you can try is flashing different radio versions until you find one that gives the best signal. Another thing could be the OS build version and firmware version that your device is running on, it may need to be updated.

While I wish to thank you for your constant support and very useful suggestions on the matter, xdrc45, I am going to send the phone back very soon. Chances are I will recieve a replacement in two weeks time. Aside from this, I am sure the seller at HK will send me a phone with similar issues (Cross-fingers he won't), But since I am able to handle some very basic technical issues such as these, and the phone is at a good price (160EUR) I do not wish to refund. I'd much rather tinker with it a little here and there to customize it to my liking, ensure maximum potential of the phone and prevent issues. So my question is this: What steps should I take the minute the phone arrives (assuming they send me an identical copy of the phone they provided)? Do I need to supply myself with any hardware or software to be able to install the phone to function as though I bought it officially from HTC?
In reply to your suggestion on the bootloader: yes, the white section was always empty no matter what...so I'm guessing the phone was slowly dying away anyways. I will definately look further into the goldcard/ y cable.
Thanks!

While I wish to thank you for your constant support and very useful suggestions on the matter, xdrc45, I am going to send the phone back very soon. Chances are I will recieve a replacement in two weeks time. Aside from this, I am sure the seller at HK will send me a phone with similar issues (Cross-fingers he won't), But since I am able to handle some very basic technical issues such as these, and the phone is at a good price (160EUR) I do not wish to refund. I'd much rather tinker with it a little here and there to customize it to my liking, ensure maximum potential of the phone and prevent issues. So my question is this: What steps should I take the minute the phone arrives (assuming they send me an identical copy of the phone they provided)? Do I need to supply myself with any hardware or software to be able to install the phone to function as though I bought it officially from HTC?
In reply to your suggestion on the bootloader: yes, the white section was always empty no matter what...so I'm guessing the phone was slowly dying away anyways. I will definately look further into the goldcard/ y cable.
Thanks!

I think that's a good choice and hopefully the next one won't have the same problems for you!
The best thing to do when you get the new one is boot into bootloader mode and check the information, if you want post back all the info from the BL screen or provide a screen shot of it. Also go into settings, about phone, more info and post back all the information from there too. That way we can make sure everything is up to par on the device and functioning like it should and make sure it's not bricked and if it is we'll get it taken care of for you!
