There is a peculiar problem in hermes(the best device ever made). Some times the phone led (green) blinks where as the display is off and it fails to start up even if u soft reset.
in the meanwhile if some one calls u he will get a ring but u wont be notified by ur device
this will make the person calling think u r avoiding him
this is the perfect solution tried on atlest 50 hermes
Plz install the following cab then switch off ur device then switch it on again and wolla the sleep to death problem is gone
Take care

Guess you forgot the cab?
Edit: Ok, here it is now ;-)
Anyone tried this???
To be honest: I find it a little hard to believe: threads all over the place about this SOD. All chiefs searching and searching for the solution.
And now in your first post you have the solution?
Hope it's its true...
Could you please give us some more information than "this is the perfect solution..."?
How does this patch work? any technical detail as to how this fixes the issue?
Great if it does but a little skeptical without any detail?
Cheers

I agree with pietrucci,
please ... Anyone tried this CAB? we need our forum seniors & moderators answering us.
Thanx for your efforts nittin_sp, and hope it's truly works.

To tell you the truth I have never been able to reproduce the SOD problem whatsoever. I still can't figure out what the heck is causing it.
Anyway, if you doubt nittin_sp, maybe you should tr it yourself and see if it solves the problem.
This was rather uncourteous...

SOD
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
Running new official wm6 no more sod here so cannot verify that it works, but I had alot of sod in various other roms and if this is a solution the senior members/cooks should disect it and figure out what is the real cause of them and what exactly this fixes since they are not so forthcoming.
edit, wait reading it again it says that even soft reset fails to start up, if that is true they are not talking about any sod I have ever had soft reset does what it does resets the device and boots up.
There were many quick fixes trying to figure out the sod problem, sd card issues, active sync turning on etc, maybe this is a cab that does that.
Psiodon
I will try this
I have had SOD's several times a week.
Will try this and get back to you in a couple of days
I find that I have to SRS every morning after not touching the device all night. I have installed this cab and will report back tomorrow about the behavior of the device. It would be wonderful if this actually works. I am keeping an open mind about it.
I don't understand why you're being so mysterious about this nittin_sp. From what I can tell using IDA Pro (sorry, but I am reluctant to simply load something on faith based on "100% fix" claims alone), your patch simply sets the DWORD value "DisableAutoSuspend" in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\sys to a 1. Interestingly, on my TyTN running WM6 this is already set to a 1.
Sometimes its easier to just say this rather then create a cab. That way the rest of the community can work off your findings and perhaps explore this SOD issue better.
If your cab does more than this then please share your knowledge so we can further explore this hermes issue.
ok so I installed this. I've not had any BSOD's since doing so in a 24 hour period, when normally I'm getting them alteast every hour, sometimes more than 1 in an hour. Will report more soon. Would be good if you can post what this does though as I'd like the ROM cooks to build it in.

Hi,
Sorry if this is a dumb question - why do you need to extract the ROM and EXTENDED ROM after flashing the original operator ROM and then flash WM6?
Would it be the same if I just flash the official WM6 and reflash with the cooked WM6?
Thanks!
As promised, I am reporting my results. While I have no idea what this patch is doing, for the first time since I have had this device, I have not had a single failure. Coincidence? We will see in 24 hour.

I have not noticed any increase in battery drain, but I did not use the phone much on the weekend. The reality is, the only time I have the problem is when I do not touch the phone and it goes to sleep. When it wakes up, there is an apparent memory issue that SRS easily resolves. But, since I have installed this cab, the issue has not reappeared - yet.
yup over 24 hours and no issue... Its looking good.
spoke too soon - still sod... reduced but still present - what does this hack do exactly?

This rom was working great, the wifi was starting not too work, then BANG, stuck on my windows boot screen etc, no active sync, but managed to hard reset. Too bad, was working great until then..the faint hearted should maybe wait until is tested further....
I had the same problem...but I am a strong believer in the Schap-Man's ROMs.
I am happy to say even though it was stopped at the Green start screen and Active Sync said it couldn't see it I was able to re-run his ROM and it found the phone and rebuilt it.
Not sure if you tried this yet or not but it sure helped me.
That's pretty wierd. Are u using full or lite, the latest 7-28, wwe...? A lot of others are using this rom. I'm not having any issues with 7- 28 wwe lite version.
BTW...you should have 'posted' this on Schap's rom thread.
You could also try a hard reset.
Same has happened to me quite a few times, now running Sleuth's ROM
Can't wait until Schap's brings out ver "b" or 4.x as his roms are usually excellent.
Hope this helps

I had the same problem today.... Hardreset needed (Full installation german)
I also had a problem last night. I had just removed the htc homeplug from my today screen when the whole thing froze. I did a SR and got stuck on the green loading screen, left it all night, still the same this morning, so after a quick search on xda-developers before work,
performed a HR and everything is back up and running, minus all my personal data. good job i use PPCBackup to back it up to my storage card.
Whats happening Schnaps..... ? this is most unusual, 3.30c was a dream to run.....
I have had this happen to me 5 times in the last week. I dont believe it is Schap's rom because it did the same thing to me with Black Satin. I believe the problem is software based.
This has been discussed many times in the thread dedicated to my 3.57a ROMs, it is due to some thrid party softwares which are not compatible with this build, but for now I'm not able to tell you what exactly is the source of this problem since I couldn't reproduce it. I'm using this ROM build since 2 weeks and made load of tests, I never had freeze on boot!
To recover your device maybe you can first install a software like SPB Plus I think which offers a failsafe mode, let me know if it works.
I am working on a new ROM and I hope it will definitively get ride of this problem! For now, if you experienced this problem and want a ROM which should be more stable than this one, I recommand you to flash the Schap's 3.54a as it is purely based on the official ROM.
Yea...
This ROM, with nothing else installed, killed the battery in standby in a much shorter time than normal. It also wouldn't turn back on after it killed the battery for an inordinate amount of time... I don't recommend it to anyone. Sorry.

Schaps for the record. I did a hard reset and and kept all my apps on my SD.
I have never had any problems, however I was playing around and although I cannot prove it, I have a feeling that SBSH's software could be the culprit. Although I doubt just that one.
I will have to change ROM's for the time being as I am leaving on a trip for Europe and can't afford to be down. But your ROM's are always among the best.
I Think some Guys have closed eyes or better sell there device. This ROM is great. Thanks to Schaps

I agree on this one also. With my push email for Activesync/Exchange and my Flexmail set up on two accounts pushed and my GPRS/EDGE connection always on during the day, I have about 40% at the end of the day, (over 16 hours), which is awesome considering i used to get around 4 hours and then i would be down to 20% on all other roms
very great ROM
I have been using the latest Schap's ROM with arabic language for about a week and never had a problem. It is very fast and stable.
MANY THANKS Schap
Cheers,
This is simply the best ROM I have ever used.
I just donated to you Schap.
Thank you.

So make a thread about it.
Still the best rom...
10 days with schap's 3.57a rom and never had a problem.
bricked?
I thought bricked phones wouldn't even recover from hard reset? It seems a bit harsh to cry "BRICKED" when that isn't the fact. Makes me think of the boy who cried wolf.
Schaps has done a very nice job. However, I felt it was a little slow responding. I'm very impatient. So I flashed the Black Satin ROM. The Black Satin worked for a day or so and then it got stuck on the Black Satin Screen.
I had SPL-1.04 so I used a special fix it ROM which is a 1.18 ROM. Even though I could not get to ActiveSync, I've found that the 1.18 Fix it ROM will flash from the bootloader. It takes about 25 min or more to flash and starts slow.
After flashing, you end up with a WM5 ROM.
Then I flashed the new Official WM6 Dopod ROM (It's a little cleaner than the AT&T ROM).
I've been running the Dopod ROM for a couple week. I've very happy with it. No offense to Schaps. The Schaps ROM has all the latest elements like Arcsoft MMS Composer 4.0.
I hope this helps. The 1.18 ROM can be found on or about page 18 of the Bricked Hermes thread.

I'm sorry if you had battery issues with my last ROM but if you read comments you would see that you are the only one who had such a problem, many people reported that those last ROMs have the best battery life and I have the same impression!
If you don't recommand my ROMs to anyone, so I have no reason to continue cooking for the community! People like you really don't motivate me to make so much efforts for people who only complain about my work instead of trying to give me clues to solve their problems.
In light of this post Battery drainage tips&tricks How to Increase Your Battery Life I have created a cab with the registry suggestions..it is the same cab that has been around at the Juno section of XDA and the same one that is on allshadow.com both phones share similar Smartphone registries and so the cab should work just fine on the Excalibur.
Here is the download SaveBatteryHTC_Juno.cab
Its a simple step... you install and that is it.. it will just work.. if for what ever reason you don't like it simply uninstall it and your registries should go back to what they where before you installed the cab.
Great post, I would recommend people try this because I tried this myself and noticed much improvement in battery. Also, its a .cab, therefore, you can always uninstall if your phone gets unstable for any reason. Hope this helps everyone and thanks again for this post.
I just installed it, i'll try it out. Thanks for the post.
im going to try dis out cuz i need it

Haha its so funny how people install things that they do not know what it does on their phone... Anyways it seems to work excellent. Thanks for this.
I know what this does
but can someone tell me if they actually saw the difference, and i know it basically disables Activesync from syncing automatically but what if Activesync does not sync automatically (atleast in my case, I don't see anything on the task manager)
can someone better explain how it does what it does and correct me if i'm wrong.
on the other hand, my battery sucks - it dies with 1/2 day of use i.e. all i do is make phone calls/maybe use palringo but checks email every 5 mins but now i changed that setting to 2 hours so it doesn't use data that often but so far, it dies pretty soon.
Would I see a difference using this .cab? (to the people that have used it and have seen a difference)

There has been many "tests" done on this by many ppl www.allshadow.com most agree that it "adds" 3 hours to your battery life..
You can try this yourself.. turn on your bluetooth and wifi and use your phone on a normal day... remember when you turned on the phone and remember the time you are done for the day and see how much battery life you have left...
then
next day install my cab and do the same.. turn on your bluetooth and wifi and use your phone on a normal day.. remember to start at same time of day you started to track the day before.. and end at the same time.. at the end of day at same time as day before.. look and see how much battery life you have left.. you should notice a difference...
although some say that this hasn't worked for them to where they see an improvement most have said that they have noticed an improvement as I have.

No problem I, as well as other im sure, look forward to entertain your results.
Simply touching basis on the results of my simple test I have conducted..
I have uploaded to the post the screen pics of the power consumption the battery underwent while it had the cab installed..
Please keep in mind that this test went for two days.. one day(thumnails) with the cab installed and the next day (look at the links) with the cab removed..
On both days I did the usual.. made calls and texts till my fingers got numb..
On both days I started at 0320 and on both days ended at or about 2123 (923pm) on the same day respectfully.
You will notice that the screen caps done withing the phone which had the cab installed that day shows I had a reasonable amount of battery life left at the end of the day..
On the second day which I didn't have the cab installed you will see on the pictures of the phone I took with my camera (windows crashed and it messed up my linux partition.. just fixed it ) it will show you that there is an exclamation mark where the battery meeter is and you will see the battery consumption lower..

When I had the Dash I used Ricky's Kavana version ROM i believe it was V24, it didn't have any problems installing cabs.. and yes it seems like your ROM is still somehow locked..
do a search on the forum for networkunlock cab
here is the cab i was talking about.. it also helps to unlock your phone..
I am using the version 24 and it seems to work just fine even with out the application unlock program...
Here's my dumb question for the week... would this work on my moto Q9h??
Recently I just update to the unofficial official T-mobile 6.5 rom. For some reason every time after soft reset, it always ask to pick a time zone before boot into TF3D. It gets quiet annoy after a while. I tried disable the automatic update timezone in phone settings but every soft reset the check mark comes back there. Does any body knows the solution to this problem? Thanks
yea i get that "most times" too its a pain ..
but sometimes it dont do it .. I dont know whats causing it yet .. will update
If I find how to fix it.

Thank you for that link. The cab file posted seems to have done the trick. And thanks a million times to Warlock for making the discovery and creating the cab file.
Same thing for me. For a while it wouldnt even hold my time zone. Kept moving me back to Arizona. I used Advanced Config and restored all defaults. Still get the time zone prompt on every soft boot but atleast it keeps me in Colorado now.
\m/ just ran through the thread above. Used cab2 and no more nagging time zone! You the man thanks!
Looks a good fix, but I wonder if I happen to travel to a different time zone will this fix makes my phone stay with the original time or will time still update as usual?
I have found in general that screen goes away on its own giving enough time. Also if I'm in an open area (easier access to satellite for location info) it doesn't come back.
I am wondering the same thing here.

So I've been using the same ROM (in my sig) on my T-Mobile TP2 for 2 weeks now. Last night I tried to wake my phone (it was on for 8 hours already; being used 4 hours prior to make a PowerPoint using JetCet Presenter 5), and the phone wouldn't wake up. I pressed the soft reset button on the side, and everything was fine. I pressed the power button again before I put it in my holster. Ten minutes later, I pressed the power button to wake it, and it wouldn't wake up again! I did the soft reset thing, and battery was down 5-10%, so I know the phone was on the whole time.
I did a hard reset, and still had same problems. I was going to return it with warranty, so I flashed the stock T-Mobile WM6.1 ROM and everything was fine (I couldn't replicate any of my problems). I went to a different ROM (the latest Valkyrie Leo 23815, I believe?), and I got the same "can't wake" problem.
Now my real problem is the fact that I can't replicate it on the stock ROM. I think it's not the custom ROM because I've used the same one for 2 weeks. I don't know how I can get a warranty swap in this situation... It's not like I can say "Look, I have your stock WM6.1 ROM and it works. How come it can't work with a custom ROM?!"
*I confess I did just download the JetCet Presenter5 cab from these forums just two days ago. I made a PPT (as stated in the first paragraph) for a class and I saved it on my SDHC card. It was working afterwards, but the "can't wake" problem only occurred 4 hours later, and still persists after the hard reset.
Can I please get any help here? I really need a working device with a custom ROM and I don't know how to do a warranty swap in this situation.
Thanks.
SOLUTION: post#19.
(I replied this also on TmoNews forum)
What do you have to do create this problem...just wait and it happens eventually? Or does it happen right away the first time it goes into standby, or you put it in standby? Or is there a specific sequece of events?
How long did you wait after flashing the stock WM6.1 to see if the problem came up?
Maybe you could try flashing the "hidden" official WM6.5 rom...just on the chance that it might fix/delete whatever is wrong. Or it might show the problem so you could return it...after the Jan-20 official release.
Good luck

(Replied this on TmoNews, but this might help others willing to help out)
On the custom ROMs, the first time it goes into standby, I can't wake the phone anymore and I just noticed that it won't recognize the USB cable (no charge from the outlet; no sync with the PC). If I soft reset and prevent it from going to standby, everything's normal (even the USB problem).
I flashed the stock WM6.1 ROM one hour before my first post. Everything is fine except for the annoying old Start Menu and the small, non-finger-friendly buttons!
I'll try the "hidden" official ROM now, just in case. I just don't know how I'll survive without WM6.5.x until after the official release date!
Thanks! I'll need the luck.
...So I think after all the testing I've done, and the weird problems others have posted [in various threads], I believe the problems I've experienced were a result of the new Sense2.5 build 1922 ROMs.
I just flashed the old EnergyROM Dec.4 Leo 28008 (Sense2.5 build 1921) and the problems are no longer present.
Newbie to WM!!!
Having similar Problems with my TP2. My phone has had several "wake up" probs since I have the phone. I installed directly after purchasing the WM 6.5 ROM directly from HTC-support (german). My real problems are right now that my alarm clock is not working properly (sometimes it works, sometimes not) and my phone often does not wake up after stand-by. Last night watched the clock at 04:30 and almost got problems caused by a non working alarm clock... (phone was connected to power supply)
anyone knows more about it? Is it a bug? user faults?
additional added software: Brians Task bar, Mort-player and powerbutton 12.
Just wanna get sure, that the phone is not damaged from hardware's site (warranty)...
Well.. I have (in this days) this problem.. It seems that it's getting worst day by day.
First of all: I've never used a "cooked" rom!
I had the original HTC rom (6.1).
I had this problem so I flashed the 6.5 update and it magically was solved!
Everithing was fine till 4-5 days ago: I can't understand what is the problem..
But I had only one time an "alarm problem".. But maybe was my fault..
I don't know what is the problem but it is NOT related to "cooked rom".
The worst thing is that RADIO MODULE IS ON!
So people call you, write you.. AND THEY KNOW YOUR PHONE IS ON!!!!!
This is totally unacceptable!!!
I would try a coked ROM.. But, as I can read, it would be useless..
And anyway: What is the most STABLE ROM in this jungle?
I'll write to italian HTC support.. I don't know if they will solve anything..
To: chrizz.o and DJ Palmis
chrizz.o: The alarm clock in WM is unreliable sometimes. You could download a 3rd party app alarm clock like Klaxon or G-Alarm.
DJ Palmis: You could also download an alarm app (see my response to chrizz.o). I don't know if you're talking about you can't turn your screen on after it goes into standby (my problem).
I don't know if you guys are confused but my problem is: I can't turn on the screen if the phone goes in standby (screen goes off). The phone is still on, but the screen is permanently off. This only happens to me in the new custom Leo ROMs. It doesn't happen in stock ROMs or old custom ROMs, so I cannot return it.
DJ Palmis, I don't know why it's happening in a stock ROM. You can try a hard-reset (wipe device) by pressing/holding Power button, Talk/Send key, and End key at the same time when the phone is off. That might help. If it doesn't, return it to HTC.
BTW, I think the most stable ROMs are the EnergyROMs, ValkyrieROMs, and the Rhodium_AF (ark666) ROMs.
Same issue w Att Tilt 2
I'm experiencing the same issue, occasionally the screen won't come on from standby when I know the phone is on. It shipped with 6.5 and it remains with the stock rom.
The issue is so hit-&-miss that it is difficult/impossible to trouble shoot.

I think we have the same problem, indeed. And i don't want to hard reset because i did not change anything in the last weeks.. I'm only using my phone more frequently.. So more text messages, videocall and so on..
But this does not justify this problem.
It would be nice to know what happens during this "freeze".
Maybe it is related to notification queue (that's why a new rom "solves" problem for a while)?
Well.. Anyway I had this problem on my old HTC Universal.. So it is related to WinMobile or Qualcom..
when i had a issue similar to that. i just hard reset my touch pro and flashed a whole new rom. and hard resetted again and i was bug and error free.

The OPs issue must be a little different.
He tried flashing several different roms -- stock and custom -- and only the stock T-MoUSA WM6.1 or WM6.5 roms or custom roms that were a month or two old would stay "fixed".

Cheers for upadating me. Appreciate it. Will try another alarm clock in a while. BUT: I use mort's player as an additional "alarm", as well, and even that does not work propperly. Might be, that it is no real alarm clock. strange and weird.
But it is good to know, that the "will-not-wake-up" problems are more or less known by several other users. I almost thought it is my stupidity to use a win mobile phone *lol*
Does anybody know, eventually, if there's a more stable rom (maybe with the new manila like on HD2) for germany which might solve the freezing problem?
thxx for updates
I'm also getting will not wake problems on the leaked official TmoUS WM 6.5 Rom. I would get it about twice a day. My stock tmobile US 6.1 never had this issue.
A fix that works for me:
Change the power settings to always on for a like 10 minutes and put the default settings back. You would have to do this after every soft reboot.
HTC Italy told me to set Band selection to auto (booth choices) and to change network selection (auto if set to manual or manual if auto) and then they told me to soft reset by button.
I'll write you if I have news.. But i think they know something more than us about this problem. And they are on the way of solving because i noticed that this problem happens in bad quality signal areas and ALWAYS when phone is ON.. So it is related to radio module.
I think it may be related to SIM card, too.
Because they told me to change SIM.. And at last to do an Hard Reset..
Maybe my 3 card is not fully compatible with my radio version?
Hey,
thxx for the updates. Indeed, I have quality differences in our flat, bandwidth switching between HSDPA, 3G and GPRS, depends on, in which room I am.
Asking HTC Germany about this problem, they told me, it is a not known issue. The more I follow up here, I cannot believe that.
Do you really think, it may also be caused by the SIM-card? Mine is about 2 years old (VF GER).

Mine too!
What I know is that i had this problem on my old HTC Universal... So maybe problem is not in the "age" of SIM card.. But in some technical compatibility between SIM and Qualcom.. (You know: 64 KB, 128KB and so on..).
Maybe Qualcom has some problem on european SIM card? I don't know..

I read somewhere in a ROM thread (I don't remember exactly where) that some people are experiencing constant freezing on their phones after a few weeks of use. Someone recommended taking out the SD card because it might be corrupt, and that interferes with the phone's performance. Some people said it worked; they found out their SD cards were actually corrupt, and using a new one made the phone function well.
Having used ValkyrieROMs before, I remember a pre-installed app (I forgot the name) that let you format your SD card. When I tried it (even after I formatted my SD card to FAT32 on my PC), the app said my SD card was corrupt and cannot be located. The last time I used the app was 1+ months ago. I think I'll try to flash a ROM without the SD card when I have time.
...But I still don't know how the SD card would give me a problem with a (new) ROM that I had on my phone for 2 weeks...and no problem on an older ROM (that I have now)...

Well I don't know, What I can say you is that till now i have no problem with HTC istructions.. Maybe i solved.. I hope..
SOLUTION!!!
I finally got my phone working with new ROMs again!
It was the SD card! I connected my TP2 to the PC as a "Disk Drive" and I went to My Computer > [right click] Removable Storage (SD card) > Properties > Tools > fix... something something (I can't remember exact words). It fixed the corrupt SDHC card I have; now my phone is working again!
This might help you, too, DJ Palmis...
Just had done this right before the last freezing-problem. My SD-card was not corrupt, so this did not solve my problem.
At least I swapped my SIM-card, made another hardreset and checked my SD-card again. Let's see what's happening...
Hi
I have another problem with HTC Touch Pro 2 regarding turning the phone on than has been posted in the forums.
Sometimes(every second day) my touch pro 2 wont turn on using the on/off button.
I will have to do a reset(on reset button) to turn the phone back on.
Any idea what can cause this?
HTC Touch Pro 2 using original Danish ROM. Both current version and also a problem first version.
it is called the sleep of death (SOD) , and afaik it has been solved, but I don't know any more about it as I never had it my self !

Not solved. Author of thread that you pointed to denies it is a SOD fix.
There could be several reasons for the SOD.
Please check out my page about SOD's and comment if you are able to fix it!

last 2 days ive had a similar issue, wont wake with power button when it's slid open
it may be an obvious troubleshooting measure, but have you guys installed any new software recently? if so uninstall...even apps from the marketplace can cause various issues...
I have been having the same problem for several weeks. my phone has been repaired twice and I now have new phone and still getting the same problem. If I disable the data connection it seems to solve the problem but that kind of defeats the object of this type of phone. Disabling the facebook sync option seems to greatly reduce the occurance. I am on t-mobile uk and using stock roms with no additional software.
My experience has been that SOD is not actually SOD but rather just a temporary thing. Put it back in your pocket and try again in few minutes.
had this the first week of ownership, in my case went into the vodafone shop and reported the problem where they swapped the battery in my phone.problem solved.
Hi...I had this same problem with my Sprint TP2. It has now been fixed, but I had to install a custom ROM. I installed the NRG Rom and since then, I have not had the SOD. I believe that Google Maps was causing the phone to enter the sleep, however, I am not positive.
The NRG Max Manila Rom is excellent. I would just install it if I were you and everything will be fine.

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 know your post is old, but my SOD problem is new. What is LUMOS?

Way to thread necro indeed...
I assume he means this app.
I've seen what sounds like this problem on my TP2 and have found the way to revive the phone is to call it from another phone.
