XDA I keeps going to sleep

Tried various WM2002 or 2003 ROMs, and settled back on WM2002 as it seems more stable, but I still have a problem where the phone seems to turn off (no green LED blinking), and when you press the top button to turn on the PDA it is as though you have warm reset it. I think I might be missing calls because of this and will have to change the phone if this is the case. Now when I know I might be expecting an important call I have to keep checking the green LED is blinking! I also get periodic SD card erasure unless I write protect it! Overall it is a nightmare to use because of these two issues.
ROM versions:
3.17.03 ENG
ROM date 5/15/03
Radio 4.21.00
Protocol 32S54

Hi mate, my XDA does the same thing - I have upgraded my ROM too (see profile for version etc.). Best thing I can offer to you is that it resets when bumped or knocked (like if I put it down on my desk a bit too hard), the screen will go wierd and then reset. Don't know why this happens but I keep checking my green light for flashing too. My vibrate function no longer works wither. I plan on calling O2 tomorrow to follo up the issues.

Well, I had the same problem with my QTEK 1010, os 2002, until I downloaded a very good clock/alarm software: pTravelAlarm (make a google search for it). among its functions is a very good one which is Chime, (in alarm menu) it wakes up the device each one hour so it will not get stunned. Now I never miss a call. The only disadvantage is that it makes the battery lasts a bit shorter than before.
john banks, there must be something loose in your device, carefully disassemble it and check all screws inside, if all ok, I'm afraid you might have to send it to a repair shop.

after installing the SER 1.2 special version from xda developer, my XDA run smoothly and I can see the sender of SMS anymore

ROM version 1.13.188 o2 UK - anyone using??

Can't see anyone's signature showing they have actually upgraded to it... :O(
Also, odd numbering choice (is .188 higher than .48?) and does not mention much improved ("Updated O2 Active UI
Disablement of Device Error Logging")
But I guess that they don't bother to release an update unless it actually improves/cures something - right?

whoops, was reading the wrong Rom numbers (not the ExtRom version).
Sorted.

i have uploaded the xda exec new rom version .188 and it works fine for me except that sumtyms the xda hangs and i have to do the soft reset after i say 4 to 5 days, the battery life is surely improved and with the new o2 ui the battery icon is removed from the bar and is now below the msg strip on the today screen with the battery percentage aswell.
in the corporate mode, the xda works fine but it gives a program conflit with a few softwares.

Thinking of it, i'm running the .188 a few days in corp mode. But I need to reset the thing more often then I am used to with a pro.
This morning my alarm didn't ring so when I checked the MDA PRO, it hanged so I was too late out of bed .
I'll run it for a few extra day, when it hangs again im putting back my custoim t-mobile rom.

Blank Screen of Death [BSoD]

Hi all.
I have recently flashed my Herm to have the fantastic Black MAJIK rom. All went very well and I was pleased with the rom. I did have issues with the wireless not working and also with the blank screen detailed below.
When HTC released the update for WM6 for the TyTn, I decided to flash to that rom and give it a try. Again, works well, although I had to flash back to Radio 1.38 to get the Bluetooth to work properly with my Jabra headset. (I am on Orange in the UK - have not tried 1.43, as could not find it!)
The big problem is this :- randomly (could be 6 hours, could be ten minutes), the phone does not wake up from sleep. The lights are still flashing (I have not tried calling the phone - I will do that next time), but it will not wake up. No ActiveSync at all.
Soft reset is the only viable option.
Does anyone know a fix for this? (Yes, I have roamed through a number of forums and tried the link for 'DisableSyncSchedule', but that did not work.)
I have tried to re-flash the rom a few times, even soft-reset before the HTC stuff installs, stopped GPRS traffic and made sure that the IMAP does not connect. Whatever I do, the problem persists.
I have installed the following: HTC TyTn rom:
- SPB Diary
- SOTI Controller
- mfrazz CommManager
- WMG 3G Video Black Keypad
- GreenBatteryFix
- HTC X-Button
- Pimp my Black
I am loathed to revert to WM5, but if that is the only way foreward, then I might need to.
Any help would be superb!

One other thing
Sorry, meant to say that I am currently running with just the base HTC rom and nothing else installed. Let's see how that goes.

First, The radio should not have anything to do with bluetooth. This is the radio rom for cellular calls, not the BT radio.
BSoD question: Do you have a media card? Have you installed apps on the media card? There have been issues with the media card falling asleep. I had issues in the past installing applicaitons on the card. As make sure that you configure mail NOT to store messages on the media card.
Next....Uninstall all applicaiton that you have installed. Do you still have the problem? IF this fixes the problem, reinstall apps 1 at a time untill you figure out which is causing the problem.

I do have a memory card installed, but no apps are installed from it and the mail attachments are not stored on the card but in the memory. I have recently reset the mobile and have noting installed (not even ext rom) and have only set up mail, sync'd and configured for Orange.
Interesting about the radio having no affect, as it made the Jabra work - no other changes made. (I have re-flashed since then, but still using 1.38 radio rom.)

So I get this all the time, I don't have an SD card - so its not an SD card issue.
I've got 2 Tmobile MDA Vario II's and ever since upgrading from the stock Tmobile rom the phone will hang with a black screen but the message light will blink. If I put the phone in flight mode it never does it.
Its happened on the following roms:
XDA Mobile / Faria's rom
All the Black roms
LVSW
It didn't do it with Tmobile WM5 Rom. Tried various radio updates and it doesn't seem to make any difference. I know Jasjammin mentioned he had seen it but nothing further from him on this.
ITS DRIVING ME NUTS
Some other people must be seeing this also? Please help. When it happens no mails/sms or voice calls so its like the phone is switched off. I too am now looking at downgrading back to WM5
I'm wondering if it might be in the boot loader / rom flasher issue? But I sure I've not done anything others haven't done.
Regards,
Neil.

Bump - nobody else seeing this? Find it hard to believe?!

Hi prophetuser
I did notice this issue in the new HTC WM6 ROM (not the dopod one) which you have mentioned. But I flashed my ROM to Black Majik and its cool....I didnt notice this problem.
My device is imate JASJAM. I think the black majik ROM is better, but I noticed one more post in this thread mention all black ROM had the problem as I have not come across it yet.
Maybe the new Black Satin which jasjamming is cooking will not have it and probably you may have to try it, until a new HTC ROM update is leaked I suggest you to use black majik.

SOD CAUSE
IN my whole 6 months having my hermes i had never had SOD until i flashed the official dopod rom with matt kitchen. when I traced the source that SOD had came from it was a bad extended rom flash i done. This cause the device to go sleep after the screen time out, and also if i put the phone in idle mode i had to soft reset everytime.
i flashed an original operator t-mobile rom with the extended rom and all my problems went away.
My device has never been quicker no more SOD and battery life is superb with the new radio 1.47 after one whole day with normal use with 3g internet I am still on 70% battery life.
Now I have the perfect device and i think hermes WM6 crave and addiction will be thinned out as there is not much you can do now with the hermes as to wait for PROTON or fully integrated touchflo working ROM.
p.s
TRY FLASHED A AN ORIGINAL OPERATOR ROM WITH THE EXTENDED ROM YOU CAN USE ROMKOCH TO EXTRACT THOSE TWO AND FLASHED YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING WM6 AND GUANRANTEE YOU WILL SEE AND FEEL A MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE HERMES. THATS MY 2 cents

Help with camera after flashing rom - tried multiple roms, still no camera

I have a cingular 8525 and now running vp3g's version of WM6. I have tried multiple roms trying to get my camera to work again but none of them seem to do the trick. I had a older version of vp3g's rom from maybe 6 months ago and everything worked fine. If anyone can help me you would make my day. Thanks!

if its a hardware issue (which it most likely is) no amount of rom flashing is gonna miraculously fix it

Well, camera worked fine previous to flash.
i also upgraded my radio... does that have anything to do with it?

try the old rom and you see if its software or hardware related...

mmm... i dont have the old rom

what was the old rom??

it was an ATT rom from vp3g when WM6 just came out.

I also ran Hard SPL v2, would that cause the camera not to work?

What error message are you getting? Old ROM in the sense, the official ROM that came with the phone WM5.0, before you put on WM6.0. Flash back to WM5.0 and see if camera works!

no error message, just... nothing. if i press camera button depending on the rom goes to pics / videos or task manager. Also noticed Flashlight and super bright dont launch. I found my old rom from september and it also did the same thing!
I may resort to WM5 i just installed wm6.1 and i like it alot... same issues still.

I had similar issues.... it's definitely hardware problem
a piece of cable which connected to camera was unplugged
brought to service center and just took about 5 minutes to repair it.
Or you could try to repair it by yourself

I dont know... it worked fine untill i flashed it!
Im running wm 6.1 now, the rom from Pays. Chose to stick with it because its the nicest of all and still has same issues.
1. No camera (loading icon comes up and goes away quickly)
2. Flash light doesnt work
3. Super bright doesnt work
4. MMS Doesnt allow "new" or allow for open settings
5. Crashes when going into any "Video's" in the picture and video viewer.
I tried WM5 from att, htc, and wm6 from att. Tried about 15-20 other popular cooked roms and they all had the same issues.
These issues didnt happen previous to my old flash, which was just a wm6 from att.
Today i did the folllowing before i noticed these issues:
Flashed HardSPL v7 (2.0)
Flashed in radio v 1.5...
Flashed in WM6.1
---then the day began!
I have also tried downloading 3rd party camera applications which also seem to be crashing on load. Im not sure what it all has to do with one another but i'd really like to get this phone back up and running 100%. Im a perfectionist and i will loose sleep over it!! HELP ME!
thanks

Yup that is exactly same symptoms like my hermes.... it happened after i flashed with wm6.1 rom, first i thought it was because of the rom.....apparently it wasn't
there was camera connector cable unattached with the mainboard
Still confuse though why it began after i flashed WM6.1 rom.
But now my camera & flashlight working perfectly fine

what about MMS?

same issue
my camara also stop functioning when I upgraded to wm6, the HTC realease for ATT 8525, when I go to the camara function it goes right to the pictures and video viewer

Have you made sure the keys are mapped correctly? if the camera button is bringing up task manager, REMAP your keys.

I have the same problem with camera. But it does not work without any reason. Additionally battery discharges very fast (from 80% to 20% during night). Flashing several roms including win 6.1 has not solved the problem. I am going to service center.

[Q] Keyboard Issues For Tilt 2

I have a problem with my HTC Tilt 2 where the keyboard stops working randomly. I will go to compose a text message and nothing will respond except for the space bar. The space bar then opens up the start menu instead of moving the cursor over. I have tried multiple versions of the Energy ROM. I had a July 24th 2010 version of the Energy ROM that worked without any issues with the keyboard. I enjoy trying different types of the Energy ROMs and have tried almost all different variations of them in both the 21916 and 29020 builds. The July 24th version of the Energy ROM was the only one that has worked without issue. I really like the Energy ROM and currently I have the April 8th of the Energy "sencity" ROM in the 21916 build. In all of the ROMS that i have flashed to my phone i have used the carrier provisioning that comes with the ROM to povision the keyboard settings to AT&T. That has successfully mapped the keyboard correctly but the keyboard itself still stops functioning randomly. Please if you know the fix to this issue I would love to know what it is. Thank You!

I'm new here and don't claim to know ANYTHING...but....I don't remember a carrier provisioning keyboard fix for the Tilt2 included in the ROM, I think it's a cab file you have to install after you've installed the ROM which you can find on the Home Page of Energy Rom here...
It's possible you've already done that and are referring to the fact that your keyboard is malfunctioning as opposed to not being remapped correctly...if it was working fine before you flashed the ROM maybe reflash the stock rom and then reflash the Energy rom and then install the keyboard fix cab....

I've never been clear on what carrier provisioning does since part of the start up routine has you select your carrier so what else is there to do? At any rate, when I have run carrier provisioning for kicks it has never fixed the keyboard or done anything else that I could observe. I apply a separate cab to remap the keyboard.

The carrier provisioning adjusts "something" (I don't know what it is) and I think installs "something" (I don't know what it is either) that should coincide with the MMS Fix cab installation that allows for larger MMS pictures to be received (and possibly sent)....at least, for the AT&T Tilt2...the first carrier provisioning is to run on TMobile or AT&T or whatever service provider is available from it, there is a Carrier Provisioning 2 setting for the MMS Fix Cab of which I am referring

hope this help
I get the same issue with the phone as well where my keyboard & i have to use the screen keyboard. I have to restart the phone in order for the keyboard to work since it does me no good for me to keep using the onscreen when i want to use the actual keyboard on the phone. This has been going on with any rom that i use. Lately the issue i am getting on my phone as well is that it shuts off on its own or it not charging right. going to upgrade soon. I love this phone but time for me to get something new.

I read elsewhere that someones battery contacts inside the phone had lost some of their "spring tension"...meaning they didnt push out enough to make enough pressure against the battery...they applied electrical tape to the opposite side of the battery so the battery fit more snug

if the battery is not making good contact with the terminals it won't charge well..if it is loose enough, it will lose contact while the phone is on and the phone will turn off..it can be loose enough to turn the phone off, and then by repositioning the phone in your hand while you're turning it on again that the battery repositions slightly to re-establish contact for the phone to be powered on...and when you set the phone in it's holster or pouch, a slight jarring or repositioning knocks the battery loose again and the phone shuts off...

Might seem like a dumb question, but: do you task 29 or flash a stock ROM before flashing the new ENERGY ROM? I always Task29 before flashing but, sometimes when really weird things happen, I find the cure to be the following procedure:
1 - Hard Reset and boot into bootloader (don't let ROM boot again after HR)
2 - Task29
3 - Flash AT&T Stock ROM and let it first boot all the way through setup to the home screen
4 - Hard Reset
5 - Task29
6 - Flash new radio (if necessary)
7 - Flash new ROM
I also use the attached cab for setting up my keyboard (I think it's actually NRG's cab)
Of course, sometimes its just the ROM itself that is buggy. I am an avid ENERGY user myself, but there have been a few builds that were not as great as some of the others.
Hope this helps!

AT&T Tilt 2
HSPL 0.85
ENERGY 29020 Sencity (Apr 29)

No i haven't tried task 29 normally all i do is flash the new ROM on and I don't put the stock ROM on first. I will try doing that to see if it helps thanks. The tilt 2 does have a carrier provisioning built into the ROM but it installs a separate CAB when you run the provisioning tool. I have tried that way and I've also tried the stand alone CAB for the at&t keyboard layout from NRG i believe. Both ways still have the same issue. Both ways correctly map the keyboard. What is strange is if I go back to the Energy ROM from July 24th 2010 it doesn't have that issue and the keyboard works just fine. I don't flash the stock ROM or anything before going back. I like that version but for eye candy and enjoying new stuff i want it to work for newer ROMS. Thanks for the responses I will try doing what you have suggested.
