Phone freezes when in standby

When ever the phone is in standby for a few minutes or so, it refuses to power back on when I press the power button. The only way to bring the phone back is a soft reset. While it is frozen in standby mode it does not receive phones calls, emails or texts. Im running lvsw 03-26. I noticed it didn’t happen with lvsw 3-20…but it was happening with both versions of xda live. I did a few hard resets to see if that will get rid of it…but nothing. I tried searching high and low on the site and even read wiki for answers but no one seems to know what is going on. I saw a few people post up the same issue but still no help….so I decided to open a new thread. Can anyone help?

It happens. Do you have a Storage Card in? If so, take it out for a while and see what happens. What 3rd party apps are you using too. I know Wisbar Advance causes this issue. Can you list what you're running and maybe I can see if you're having the same problem I was.

I've had the same problem with most WM6 roms. Having upgraded to BlackEd2.0 the problem seems to have gone though...

are you running a today plugin off storage card perhaps?
none of the roms i've tried had power on problems

Sometimes you can have that problem with having a cluttered SD Card or having a program that is accessing online in the background.

I have a 512 storage card. I’m not running much 3rd party apps…I have Mundu IM, Microsoft live search, Google maps, WM black commander, macromedia flash player active x…and that’s it. I Had mundu, live search and Google maps installed to my storage card. After reading rabanJR’s post, I uninstalled them from the card and installed them to the phone. I then went back to the card and deleted all program folders and files….I also did a general clean up of the card. Lets see what happens now.
Also to swampy…im not running much of anything on my today screen….just the messages, calendar and the com manager plug in that came with the rom. That’s all. Lets hope for the best.

Bad news, it froze up twice again today. I’m all out of ideas….any more suggestions?

funny thing, that just happened to me today. greed led was flashing, but i couldn't get out of standby mode without soft resetting. maybe some kinda software issue? Its the first time it's happened to me since going to wm6. i did notice it before however.

What Radio Rom?
Have you flashed a new radio lately? If not, what radio ROM version do you have? I had an issue with my TyTN that was definitely a radio issue. Flashed to 1.38.0.11 and haven't had a single issue with freezing since.
Just an idea, of course.

yes sir...i tried many hard resets. A radio upgrade is one of the things i tried...i saw a few people trying it. i went to 1.34 though. im going to flash to 1.38 riiight now! im desperate right now. i'll let you know how it goes.

I had the same problem until I upgraded to black 2.0. I had the radio 1.38.0.11 from the time I upgraded to wm6 and my 8525 was freezing until upgrading to black 2.0 solved my problem.

well i have good news. i upgraded to LVSW(2007/04/08) last night...and so far so good. didnt freeze once today. hope the issue is gone for good. thanks all for the help.

same exact issue here running LVSW 03-26 (goes unresponsive while in standby, green blinking LED, soft reset to recover). 2gb card installed...i'll try removing it to see if freezes go away.
rzanology: if LVSW 04/08 fixes the issue, please post back and let us know!
installed (all to device, not card)
salling clicker
resco explorer/registry/ftp/today
kyphur hold comm button toggle
wmxl apps 8525 keyboard fix
shogun cing

will do...one more note...i updated to 1.38.11 i think it was. what funny is right after i updated the radio the phone froze on the first standby. while i was coming back to post i saw the new rom update for lvsw.

This has a been a long reported problem on WM6 ROMs. 'wont wake from sleep' is the common phrase. Radio and bacground app using net I think was the problem, but no real solution if I remember correctly. On LVSW 3 26 I have gone weeks without this though. In the beginning LVSW 3 26 still did the freeze but after a week it stopped and works pretty good now. Sounds like MS is behind it since it makes no sense at all. LOL.

Wow, I thought I was crazy becasue nobody mentioned this issue before. I had this problem from day 1.
However, i recently noticed that the 1.38 Radio was eating up my battery life and downgraded to 1.34. This combined with installing Black2.0 seems to have taken care of this problem. I just came back from a weekend away from my phone (which i know is a crime since it is so much fun to use) and it woke up right away.
What Radio do you have?

How long are your phones in standby when it happens?

well....bad news again. even after the new rom update it is still freezing. do you guys think this is hardware? I never froze on wm5...i can't see it being a hardware issue. im almost tempted to call cingular and have them send another one, but i dont know how to go back to wm5. for me, the phone will be in standby for 30 minutes or so....then wont turn back on. any more suggestions?

try disabling everything completely.
1 events and notifications
2 beam auto receive
3 bluetooth
4 wifi
5 put device into flight mode
6 all startup items (including those in rom) move to a temp for now
7 disable activesync
8 disable push email
9 disable all today items
1. disable error reporting customer experience
11 remove anything that reads the sd card
12 remove sd card entirely
13 remove sim card
literally disable everything that runs automatically or otherwise.
power down ur phone by pressing power button for 3 secs. shutdown. leave it for 20secs.
power it back up. then test it now.
if u have a problem now then it could be scary bear notifications fix only. u could have a notification queu problem that is causing ur device to contradicory items simultaneously.
this could be caused activesync so no matter which rom u use it comes back via activesync of calendar or tasks.
if at this stage its fixed then bring things back systematically with the most important first like the sim card. turn off flight mode
c how u go. sometimes pda just gets confused and doesnt wake up from a sleep to well (bit like me in the morning... sometimes bed and sleep is just way to good compared to work/life)...
good luck.

BUG wiith B&B 4.0

im sorry Admins if wasn't supposed to create a new thread for this subject, but its ma first thread.
Everytime you do a soft reset after loading a few applications on, e.g. real player, pim back up, tomtom, tcpmp, etc, the device does not load up. you have to do a hard reset, no mata how long you leave it. This is not just apparent on my device but a couple of others i have tested with. Couple of times when you soft reset, you may get away wid it, but eventually it will crash.
It worked fine when i first installed it and didnt have the need to soft reset it in the first few days, but eventually when i did, thats when i had the trouble. Since then i must have done 10 hard resets, reloaded the ROM on again still the same. like i said not just this device, but a ma brothers and ma frends device.
Ive had to revert back to the o2 ROM, because the last thing i want whilst im out and about, is to have to do a soft reset and it does not load and then have to end up doing hard reset. Not Ideal.
Hope Tom Can fix this issue for the next release.
if anyone else having same issue and has fixed it, let us know.
cheers

I had this problem 3 times, this time i removed everything in traylaunch (and removed the check to enable traylaunch) and it seems to have stopped it - over 9 days since now.
Also, haven't got batterystatus to overclock after reboot, just in case.

i have tried it without tray launch and the problem was still evident.. in anycase, i like the tray launch feature, so it wud be good to keep that there. with the 3 devices i tested it on, it semms to happen after installing a couple of applications. i realy like the features of the ROM, its just a shame it gets stuck after a soft reset.
TOM if ur out there, the n please respond with any advice, or whether ur gna have a fix

after reading feedback from other users, it does seem as the problem is with quite a few ppl, if not everyone. it seems to be the fact that this ROM does not like other applications being installed. without any applications it works fine, but as soon as you install something it goes dead.
i have no reverted back to o2 ROM. which is working great, but is just boring... lol

i must apologise 'Furbious' as you were right. it was tray launcher causing the problem... i have since re-installed b&b 4.0 took tick out of tray launcher and it works a treat...
just waiting for 4.1

Am I the only one who has touch-screen problems with the vogue on/off? Seriously..

I had one before, dropped it a few times.. I wrote it off as that being why, well I just got a replacement one sent.. haven't dropped it once, it's been here only about 2 weeks
Randomly sometimes it won't respond to almost anything.. I'll be trying to slide the screen, it either won't at all or will go halfway like I barely touched it. I'll try clicking on things, programs, start, whatever... it'll not respond at all, I end up having to press with way more pressure than I should have to, way more.
Then sometimes without even a reset it'll start working just about normally again.. but that's rarely, usually I'll soft reset or pull the battery for a second and then it'll be fine.. for days even.. then I'll run into it again..
I noticed 2-3 times it was because I had **** updating at the time (motweets) or was receiving email.. but I've since made everything manual regarding email, and motweets updates once every 15 minutes and the amount of tweets is limited so it's not a lot..
Still, I run into this problem, and I've made sure it wasn't a program updating but I can't think of what else would make this happen, am I the only one??
Is it because there's a way to clear cache on internets and other programs and I have no idea how? (I fully close them, that's not the problem, I know my Vogue I just can't figure this out an it seems nobody else has this problem).. Not to mention I have my internet cache's directed to my storage card so as to keep my phone memory as free'd up as possible
If anyone can help..

mine is unresponsive sometimes and i have to tap on the back of the phone to get to work again. i thinks its going out soon

That's what I thought about my old one, I figured I had dropped it to much.. because I did lol but now I got a new one 2 weeks old and I'm running into the SAME problems.. I'm assuming I must be doing something wrong with how I've got **** set-up

j18yo i think that your problem might be that to many programs run when you start your vogue that happened to me before and i hated it but then i heard of a program named "Space Reclaimer" FREE and it made my vogue much more responsive because the program stops any programs that start when you turn on your vogue or any windows mobile phone

I have the same problem usually under the same conditions. Mostly happens in the morning after the device has been off. Works fine for a few seconds then stops responding correctly i.e., the D-Pad stops scrolling correctly with a lag on touch response. I use CleanRAM and it still doesn't fix the prob once it occurs. Sometimes when I run CleanRAM it will occur. I've tried putting biotouch.exe and everyting BUT the kernel processes in the exceptions list and a Level 1 clean. Hard reset yesterday and haven't had the problem yet. If it continues to work, I'll post my settings.
BTW, I'm on a stock 6.1 ROM with a few apps.

What ROM are you running? I asume that wehn your new device came you loaded it the same as the old one. It has to be something with the ROM you are runnning or a problem with a program causing your issue.

My phone would do this periodically too, with Vin's latest ROMs. I turned off Manila and am running Titanium now. Interestingly - no lags when unlocking since. I'll keep Titanium on for some time to see if that makes it go away. I had an issue with both his current v2 and v4 (which I am running now).

Ive had to replace my screen twice and the whole phone once because of touch screen problems. Thank God for the insurance.

Ah yes... to what OP mentioned:
I do not beleive it is a more pressure thing. I do not think it is more pressure that is required but rather that the phone is non responsive. If you are unlocking and typing a PIN, it takes the PIN and all but it takes perhaps one digit every 5 seconds. That's my experience anyway. So it is just slower, as if something was consuming the CPU and UI is not responsive.

THIS..
It has to be the problem.. I have CleanRAM run every 12 hours or 6 hours because I figured it would help.. lol but now your saying sometimes it happens WHEN you run cleanRAM.. Im assuming it does something, or erases something it shouldnt?
This is like the 1 sole thing I have run on a schedule, I've turned off my email and everything to manual, I went into my startup folder and there was about 4-5 things I didn't need which made the battery 100% better than it was in terms of how long it lasts.. and I set-up this CleanRAM schedule on my last phone I THINK I forgot but I do know as soon as I got this 1 going I did it and I'm bout to delete the program completely and see if it'll help, I have speedbooster too which does a cleanup too I'm curious if it would have the same result..
I'll let everyone know if this ended up being my problem incase anyones in the exact same boat with the same apps
PS: I was doing level 3 cleans

Update: I don't think CR erases things as much as it kills processes that won't restart. Thru trial and error, I've adjusted my CleanRAM settings to where I haven't had the problem for a couple of days. I'm able to do a Level 3 cleans on a once a night schedule and during the day if need be. In settings, I have it to close all apps, launch startup progs, and display today screen. I have no exceptions listed for either running progs or startup progs. I have the most up to date version from the OTA update in the program.
The program links in my StartUp folder are: poutlook (original on ROM), sddaemon (original on ROM), WLMUpdate (original on ROM), Glossybars.exe (I added this), biotouch.exe (I added as I thought CR killing this was the source of the problem), pocketwit.exe (I added), and SIPChange (I added).
One thing I did do was delete the link for TouchPal from the Startup folder. I did this for other reasons (I use FingerKeyBoard). Not sure if this was part of the problem.
I can scroll with d-pad and no touch lag.
On a side note, can I delete any of poutlook, sddaemon, or WLMUpdate from the startup folder to save battery power?
I'm probably just a bit above a newb so sorry if I don't make sense.
Update: Just for kicks, I deleted the links for glossybars.exe and pocketwit.exe from my StartUp and it started locking again after running CleanRAM. I put them back in and it works again even after running CleanRAM. Maybe someone with more knowledge can explain this. I'm just keeping it the way it is now...

Hmm weird that you removed something not very important like pocketwit an cleanram caused problems again.. someone has to have some info on this??
I deleted everything from my StartUp folder but my SPB Mobile Shell.. I didn't have sddaemon, but I did have poutlook and WLMUpdate both of which I deleted.. then I had some other programs that aren't necessary for the phone.. I have no problems on restart or anything, and the % showed being used is stays around the 30's now instead of 40s/50s.. and when I run programs it usually reachs 50% tops now instead of 60/70% I used to get.
PS: Pocketwit isnt bad I used to praise the program but now I've tried MoTweets and.. I can't think of the other one now.. ****.. it's really good though but it seems to use a lot more phone power than MoTweets so I went back to that.
Pocketwit kept giving me problems, started saying I need to install that NET 3.5 or whatever but when I try to it says I have a later version already so it won't install, then other times it'll work completely fine.. but MoTweets I like better anyways

Ok, I give up. I restored everything to the way I had it when it was working and now I'm having problems again. After the screen turns off and I turn it back on, it locks up and won't scroll and has the touch lag issue.
Hope someone figures this out. Shouldn't have messed with success. Good luck.

Are you running TouchFLO?
As mentioned before -for me, turning off TouchFLO (and running Titanium) fixed this 100%...

I'm not using the TouchFLO interface, does that mean its still on though?
I'm not completely up on understanding all this

This was happening with Vin's Rom for me as well. I was tripping out pressing ON so many times with no screen showing up but phone light on! I believe it could be the power settings. I disabled the "Turn off device" which I believe was mentioned in his notes about the rom.

I gave up on this problem for a while but found something when researching how to disable to cube. I used the registry edit in this thread to disable to cube post #69. I didn't do any of the other steps because I'm not having memory probs (42% with pocketwit in the bckgrd).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368269&page=7
I noticed that biotouch.exe never shows up in the running processes menu in CleanRAM and I don't have the "lock/freeze" scrolling problem any longer and I can run CleanRam without the problem occurring. I can press any item on the screen as well with no delayed response.
However, this stops you from being able to finger scroll and do the "side to side" scroll in Messaging. I never really finger scrolled and prefer using the d-pad for scrolling so losing that functionality isn't a big deal to me.
If anyone can figure out how to keep this working so smooth and have the option to finger scroll, I'd be much obliged. It just seems that biotouch.exe craps out sometimes and locks up the d-pad. If they could both work equally well....

Major Tilt Issues....

Hey all,
I have owned my Tilt 2 for a little over 6 months now and have seemed to have problems with it since day one. Its a little hard to describe the exact issue but I will do My Best.
First of all, I am currently Using the Latest Energy Rom for the Phone from xda developers. I have installed both hot Fixes on my Phone from HTC and I do a hard reset every time I upgrade my rom.
This is a problem I have had since getting the phone and seemed to be present in the Stock Rom that came from ATT so I am not convinced that it is a software problem, but I thought I would get some opinions here first. My Concern is that the phone itself has issues and I may be out of luck because I have had the phone and dealt with the issues for so long.
So, My Biggest problem is one with Freezing. I have to reset my phone at least 5-10 times a day. I always have. Sometimes I even have to remove the battery to get the phone to reset. I do quite a bit of Texting with my phone and the freezing almost always seems to happen after I have sent a text and am trying to get back to the Home/Today Screen. The Phone just sits there, I can hit the end call button as much as I want and it will not go back to the home screen. The Phone is not completely locked tho because most of the time the Calling features still work, and I can even hit the windows button and get into the menu where I can get to task manager or a software reset button. If I try to hit the home Icon tho nothing seems to happen. The Phone just sits there and I have to reset it to get it working again.
This is frustrating me because the phone is not actually frozen, it seem to be stuck thinking but will never come back to life. When the phone works, its works great and does everything I need it to do. The Constant freezing and resets are driving me crazy. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am pretty tech savy and have been installing roms on my phones for a couple years now. Please Help before I toss this thing out the window.

It is usually not desired to post the same information twice on different forums. The NRG thread has some responses to THIS EXACT POST that was made there. I know that cut-n-paste is easy, but avoid the temptation.

Will Do, I was just not sure where this questions belonged as I am unclear as to whether this is an NRG issue or a Phone Issue.

I have not had this experience, but I have read a lot of posts in the tilt forums where people complain of slow/laggy behavior using the htc messagaing tabs... I wanted to avoid that, so I just mapped my push-to-talk button to the windows mobile messaging client and use it. You might try doing that, if the HTC is what you are using now...

Off subject (new to this) but you mention "tilt forums" How do I find these s for my tilt phone? Looking for new apps also... I'm old

[Q] Screen will black out and never return!

Hello XDA Rhodium Community!
I've been lurking these forums for a few weeks since I purchased a TP2 about a month ago.
I own a Verizon CDMA TP2 and GSM unlocked it for use with my T-Mobile sim card (pay as you go). I have successfully tried many of the custom roms available here and settled on using Mr. X's latest Sense UI release for it's excelllent speed.
The phone worked great for about 2-3 weeks before I started to get a problem with my backlight/screen.
If, for any reason, the screen goes into sleep mode or shuts off it WILL NOT COME BACK ON until I reset the phone. The screen dim function no longer works either, it's either 100% brightness or it's completely off. I re-flashed to many different ROMs (including Verizon stock and the Bare Naked ROM), ran task29, reset storage, and anything else I could think to wipe the memory and the problem continues to occur.
Needless to say this is very annoying. I've been working around it for now by turning off ALL POWER saving options and attempting to keep the screen on at all times, but it will still turn off if I place my head on it during phone calls or accidentally press the backlight button on the top.
Anyone have any clue how to fix this? I love this phone and really don't want to have to buy a new one because of this

Has anyone else run into this problem???

well mine sometimes does this... however tis like if i try messing with it when its booting up... if i leave it for the 5-10 mins it sometimes takes to fullly wake up then its fine.

I always allow it to fully boot before using it. It wake up again no matter how long I wait.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi
Having just joined the Touch Pro 2 club from the Touch Diamond 2 and creating a custom ROM, the only thing i can think of is this:
CDMA TP2's have a few things different in hardware to the GSM ones.. Perhaps there is a driver conflict now causing a SOD (Standby of Death)

I am having the same problme as the OP. I've had my Verizon TP2 for over 6 months without this problem, the last 2-3 months running a custom ROM. A few days ago the SOD started and I have not found a solution. I have cleaned it with Task29 and tried a number of ROMS (including going back to the "official" VZW MR1/WM6.1 release) with no luck. I'm now running Android in order to get through the day. I think the only solution is a hardware exchange with VZW (although it's not a hardware issue).

Try installing LUMOS to avoid SOD
i have a couple of TP2 with the SOD problem.
I read several post recommending LUMOS, so i did a quick test and it seems that it's really solving the SOD and also giving a little more battery dimming the screen.
Give it a try and let us know your comments.

I've tried LUMOS, but no luck. WM can't control the brightness and neither can LUMOS. I'm starting to wonder if I've got a bad light sensor.

You've got the wrong backlight.dll driver. I had this while experimenting with Topaz drivers on my GSM Rhodium. I also got a Standby of Death (SOD) with the Topaz drivers.

I'm all up for trying a different driver, but I've hard reset a number of times and flashed back to carrier ROMS with no luck. Wouldn't that have put the correct driver back? I was also running a single custom ROM for months with no changes with the SOD started to happen. Howevere, if you could post the correct driver, I'd appreciate it.

Hi,
I am also getting this problem, mine is a GSM, original rom was from vodafone uk, 6.1. I am on my 3rd tp2 from vodafone after complaints of this problem and within a couple of months use i get the SOD.
Its not as bad as the OP but i normally get the SOD a number of times per week. I have tried my first custom rom a couple of days ago (deepshining x10.235xx, i love it) with the aim of solving this problem but since i have had SODs 3 or 4 times in the last two days.
I am wondering if its a memory/ram issue as my TP2 after boot up starts with about 60-65mb free ram and with a little use the best i can get with all programmes closed is only 45mb (after using clean ram).
i do not believe it is a hardware issue because i have had the same problem with 3 phones now.
any solutions please let me know.

@audiomixman - when you flash back to carrier, do u flash back to the shipped SPL, ie remove HardSPL? I'm unable to post the correct driver as i think it needs to be cooked into the rom. I also have the GSM ver.
@rob_cunningham - I wouldn't think its memory as i routinely get down to 22mb with opera and music n about a weeks use. I also would guess if you've HSPL'd it, that could be the issue.
I don't really think its a hardware issue, more driver / poss HSPL
@both - does it happen on a clean hard reset build with no other software installed?
Craig

Craig,
I haven't removed the HardSPL because all the notes on the relocker thread say to only do as a last resort before returning device for warranty purposes.
Without removing the HardSPL, I have reverted to my carrier's 6.1 and 6.5 ROM releases and still get the same result without any software reinstalled. Right now I'm back to booting up with MightROM but with nothing installed. Once booted into WM, I go to Android. At least with Android while the screen won't quite turn off (it goes to "black" but the backlight is still on), it will come out of standby.

If you search, you will find many casues of SOD, although essentially there are two primary causes:
-Bad light sensor (actually pretty common)
-Conflicting drivers / IRQ overlap
for many, unchecking the box that allows WM to automatically control your light settings does the trick, others that does nothing. If you have a a bad light sensor, this usually works.
If you have a driver issue or IRQ conflict, usually not and going to a new ROM can help, but not a cooked ROM, as there are so many variations of hardware/software combinations for the TP2 in various countries / carriers that only real solution is to get back to the original shipped state of the phone with the carriers ROM and experiement from there. Many of the add-ons, like photo software, games, utilities all have some code that uses the light sensor and screws up the IRQ settings.
For me, I had the problem with the original ATT ROM, but the recently released update with Sense 2.5 solved my problem.
Good luck, not an easy one to find a solution to.

Hmmm, in that case, i'm lost sorry.
As the previous post mentions, I don't use the automatic backlight (and never have) you could try disabling it and seeing what happens.
