Phone: HTC Desire HD
Android: 2.3.3
HTC Sense: 2.1
Root: No
Before I updated my phone to Android 2.3 the games on my phone worked like they should. Before I updated the version, I did a factory reset so I could change the Google account on the phone ( I made a new one due to a breach into my old one by !^!^!^! Apple fans from China ) and deleted everything so the phone will be clean for the update. After the update I installed only the games I wanted to play.
Now, before the format and update the games did not allow the phone to sleep while playing ( like they should and it is stated they override it ), but now the phone goes to sleep in the middle of the game. For instance: NFS Shift. you don't touch the screen because you use the gyro. The first time it didn't sleep, now it does. The same thing with Air Attack.
I checked the settings of both the games and the phone, nothing came up.
What to do and how to fix this?
Thank you in advance for any help.
As much as I didn't want to...
I had to BUMP this because it is annoying and frustrating that the phone is going into sleep mode.

use 'keepscreen' or 'screen on' from market. you can specify apps then screen won't turn off.
Can a mod close this thread? It is no longer needed by anyone.

Hey I've had the HTC Desire for around 2 weeks now and its been awesome, well until these last couple of days. The phone for some reason keeps on rebooting on its own randomly and about 10 minutes ago it shutdown and would not power back on :S. I had to remove the battery, place it back and then it powered up (after pressing the power button).
I have not rooted the desire ... anyone know of any apps which may be causing this issue? or Any solutions for this issue?
Thanks
there are too many apps to mention which could be doing this to compatibility issues
you tell us, what apps have you installed? and more importantly which apps have you installed recently?
is your desire still rebooting now that you've taken the battery out and put it back in? or is it working now?
Have a look at this thread ?

on another thread the issue was caused by juice defender changing the apn and then not changing it back but this was because it was uninstalled, oddly enough it was this causing reboot cycles on the desire
with advanced task killer it is very likely that juice defender changed the apn and then before it could change it back was killed by a.t.k
would recommend uninstalling atk anyway as it has been proven to cause problems. try this and then see if the problem persists.
Alright i've uninstalled ATK. Hope this fixes the issue (i'll post up an update on the situation tomorrow). Any other task manager apps you would recommend or just not use one?

i just wouldn't use one, this has been explained in more detail but i'll try to explain
android manages memory more efficiently, if an application is launched, it will stay in memory until the memory is needed for something else, then android will close this application and give the memory to the new one.
if say for example you force close the browser, it could have been linked to google maps, the news widget, friend stream etc, and once the browser is closed by the task killer, the other applications will re-open it in order to complete what they are doing, this will drain a large amount of battery.
correct me if i'm wrong
keep us updated if it doesn't work then try the fixes i posted on the other thread posted above

Yea i have read about that a few times and i should know better hehe. Was trying to save on battery life but juice defender and ultimate juice should be more efficient in that respect. I will post an update tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully its a positive update
Right so the desire hasn't rebooted on me since installing advanced task manager (not that I've noticed anyway). The only thing that happens is that it froze up on me once and I needed to remove the battery for it to reboot... But other than that no other issues so maybe it was atk doing the damage.
Sent from my HTC Desire just for good measure
right so it was fine but a couple of hours after posting the update it reboot itself and again this morning... seems like its going to have to be a hard reset... any last tips that might help before i so this?
I read the thread that was posted earlier but that seems to be an error with hanging up calls and apn issues. I don't use apn and it does if randomly but thanks for trying to help.

mine has been rebooting a lot, I've narrowed it down to the thing overheating, phoned HTC and they suggest I get it swapped. Does yours reboot more often when it is warm? eg. gps&wifi on, or when its on charge?
yea it seems too. even while playing games.
I'll send HTC an email and see is they reccomend I do the same.

I installed Taskiller last night, then HTC Desire started playing up, the screen froze, I couldn't do anything or even switch off using power button. I ended up taking the battery out to reset it. On firing up it just sorta went into a loop rebooting on reaching the homepage. After a few attempts I manage to get Appremover working, I removed taskiller and phone is now behaving itself again.
Obvious to me what the culprit was.
It was a worrying few moments as the phone is only a week old.

yep Ive stopped using task killers. they seem to be causing phones to misbehave. android's native memory management seems to work well anyways so no need for any kind of task killer/management app.

Rigjt, so after emailing HTC and them helping me I find that the issue was being caused by a third party app. Took me the best part of 2 hours but I finally found the culprit.
Right so the app causing the problem for me was beautiful silence widgets, which is a shame as they are great widgets (emailed the developer so they might release a fix for it).
The testing process was making a list of all the apps I had installed on the my desire. Then installing a few at a time, I would reboot the phone into safe mode. Which ever app causes it to reboot almost instantly I guess was causing the issue.
Finally my desire seems to be functioning properly. Fingers crossed that I don't jynx it.

mine reboots when using gprs/Wifi everything else its fine
Problem is when it does reboot it gets to the main screen and reboots again unless im quick enough to get to settings and deactivate gprs/Wifi
Uninstalled advanced task killer now have used gprs for a small amount of time since and no reboots so hopefully its fixed
Mine used to reboot itself while using 3g or WiFi, but the problem seems to have gone (hopefully) after I disabled the Background Data in the sync settings. Looks like it's some application trying to update itself like weather widget or something... Now it's just a process of elimination I guess...

Good luck and I hope you don't have too many third party apps. It's a pain but its worth it in the end to have your phone working properly.
If you have any task killers I recommend staring with does. They seem to cause a lot of issues on the desire.

Hello all, new to the forum. Have been reading loads of topics and the amount of info available is great.
If it is possible at all, I would greatly appreciate some help with my desire.... I bought an unlocked/unbranded desire in London. Was waiting for the OTA update for Froyo 2.2 and tried to download it when I was finally prompted to on my phone but it would not download, saying the file was corrupted. Hence I installed it manually by downloading and installing the update.
Now for some reason, my phone will keep going onto "car mode" which will turn on and off randomly and repeatedly. This turns the screen on (even if its in my pocket) and drains the battery. All calls go to speaker automatically. Called HTC customer support and they claim the desire is not even meant to have a car mode- whether that is them talking crap or not is another question. They also said I have voided my warranty by updating manually.
How do I disable this annoying car mode permanently? From my reading I believe it is impossible to root my phone now as it is already running froyo 2.2.
If someone, anyone can help me or give me any advice that would be great
Thanks again in advance
Ali
Someone must have an idea..... ?
if you look in the development section, there is a thread where i think they managed to downgrade the new hboot to 0.80 look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741672
i assume that will make your device rootable again using unrevoked
That is odd. I didn't think that the desire had a car mode built in but I know there is an app which does that as I have it. It's called Car Mode (surprisingly).
Presumably you haven't got that app (or something similar) installed which might be causing it? If not you could try installing the app, using it to disable car mode and then uninstalling it.

Oh ok thanks. I didn't know that as I haven't got Froyo yet. Clearly the HTC customer support team didn't know either!
I think Froyo OTA comes with support for Car Panel, but not the actual app. I had to install it manually. But it might be in the rom you used. Second the turn off. Go to +> shortcuts>Settings>Car Dock and you should see the options, including Auto Launch.

Thank you, did exactly what you said and no more car mode
Now only problem left is that the screen still turns itself on for no reason.... my htc desire is on crack
Another problem with froyo it does my head in !

Is there a way to fix this? I don't understand what's prompting the screen to periodically (and randomly) turning on. Even when wi-fi is off.
And when it does turn on, i lock the screen - and it turns on again as if the phone is taking the piss out of me lol. Drives me (and i'm sure all other users experiencing this) insane!
Any fix?
People have said this happens when a couple of the data prongs on the USB/Charge cable are shorted. Not sure why it's happening for you. Have you tried a factory reset?
You might want to install the OTA 2.2 update again. To do that you will have to wipe the device completely using this code. (came from this thread)
*2767*3855#
Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.
After that it should be possible to update the phone to 2.2 again.
Each time I connect my Desire to a charger or a computer, it wakes up and starts the Clock app. Even if it's locked. I'm using the stock 2.2 ROM, no root, HTC sense. Moreover, when I disconnect it, it acts almost exactly as if I pressed the “home” button.
Does anybody have any idea how to get rid of this?
By the way, my girlfriend has a Wildfire and a few days ago it started to exhibit the same behavior. Maybe it's related to the fact that she downloaded the OTA update to 2.2 not so long ago…

Because:
I don't have time to play around with my phone for a day or more to set everything up the way it was.
I like my warranty.
The last time I asked on a forum, there was no complete backup/restore solution and I'd hate to lose my PIM / application data.
The issue I'm experiencing looks like a misconfiguration or a bug in the HTC ROM that only started to exhibit after a few months of usage so I wanted to know if there's an easy solution.

This HD rom, is it for the regular Desire or only Desire HD?
I am asking this because I am not sure if I should return my HTC One X back to rogers. I have the Canadian version of the HOX. My issue is that when I use multitouch, the second input sticks when i put it in the screen. For example when I play a game I use my left thumb to move and my right thumb to look and it will jump to the right. It will pause and then move too much. It is not a fluid motion. Is this normal?
I have not been able to find any information on this and the multitouch test app confirms my issue.

I have had that issue in CM9, is that what ur running? That has this issue.
I'm sorry I should have stated this. No my phone is not rooted I got it about a week ago. It is stock rom and kernel.
Have it too, but only on AOKP, and I like AOKP, it's fast, but it's annoying in games.
Turn off the 3-finger gesture of the HTC Media Link HD in Settings>Display>Gestures Menu
When I was off buying mine (2nd hand ) I had the same problem in every multitouch tests. So turning that off made it fix. It wasnt able to detect the 2 fingers.
Brought my phone back to Rogers (told them I was having wifi issues as well as my multitouch issue ) just to get a new phone and they suprisingly gave me a new one right then and there. Anyways this new phone also has the same issue. I have tried turning off the HTC gestures and am still having the same problem with the multitouch. I honestly dont know whats wrong.

Please someone help me..
My phone Desire eye was drooped like 3 feet height... then i saw its ok.. after using 2 hours when i press power button i saw that the popup windows open slowly.. i think that it maybe occure due to background apps,then i restart it did not solve. after factory reset it also same problem.. So what can do
Same problem
exactly same problem for my Desire Eye, no solution yet
Same problem here, did you guys have any work done to your phone before this happens? Factory reset did nothing, installed a system monitoring app too check CPU and memory usage-both normal. Audio is fine but video is super laggy just like the whole phone. Gonna disassemble it and check cables and connectors for the LCD but I suspect it is not possible to fix this problem, maybe a new LCD would work but I doubt it.
If you`re rooted then download an app called Swapper from play store and set Swappiness to 0 and Boom your phone will be back to normal!
