Ok its fixed now... Dont know what fixed it... maybe the constant upgrade of roms or the ppcreset... or pulling the battery out and leaving it for 10 mins... But finally i dont have to send it in for a refurb... Thanks for anyone who looked and thought of a solution... If anyone else has this again they can try all the things i tried...
1) Upgrade/ Downgrade Radio multiple times.
2) upgrade SPL multiple times.
3) Try all the cooked roms
4) Revert back to ATT wm5 rom.
5) Reset device with Reset PPC
6) SuspendPPC (These i found in the black rom under system Folder)
7) Pull the battery out for 10 Mins.
Hopefully something in this combo works... cant point out which since i did too many things...
This forum is great with info available here Thanks to all the chefs,the guides and WIKI.
Cheers...
Disappearing Camera? Me Too.
My Camera Disappeared a few days ago, the hardware button on the spine does not bring it up and the application does not run, it just brings up the photo viewer. I even run the exe and get nothing. Also note, "Brighter Screen" does not work nor "Bigger Screen". For the record it's a Hermes100 and its running ROM Pro BLACK 3.0.1 and Radio 1.41.00.10.
I am looking all over, but I can't find anyone with the proper solution. May I should take my Cingular 8525 back and see what they say, they are probably going to say it was my fault when they see the new radio and Rom, but the problem happened with the original ROM.

Did you do everything i mentioned above?
try different combinations. I had the exact same rom and radio as you...
when i downgraded the radio it took the camera out for some reason.
If i were you i will try different things before the last option of sending it back for a refurb.
Good luck
Hello people, I really need your help with this one..
I have the o2 XDA Trion, with their OEM firmware of WM6. Everything was working fine, but just recently when ever the screen goes into standby(Turns off which ever jargon you may use) then no notifications will happen; however if the phone is active.. with the light on then all notifications happen fine.
I have just flashed the firmware again last night using the softkey and soft reset.. then I installed VJToggle(For buttons on today screen), Rltoday, SL2U(Apple slide locking program).. it still does it! I removed each application and still no joy.
I am starting out with an absolute clean install this morning and hoping that my problems are resolved.. has anybody have any ideas?
I will keep you posted
The problem still exists... The only application I have installed/used is PIMBackup.
So I am going to restore the phone once again and NOT use PIMBackup to see if it makes any difference...
Hasn't anybody got any suggestions for me?
I really need them.
Thanks,
Colin Jensen
I don't know if anybody else has experienced this... maybe it is just my ROM.. I am using the O2 WM6..
If I use PIMBackup then it causes all the problems above.
Problem solved(Hopefully).
you can try other roms and see if they have the same problem.
Try one of the more popular ones
like schap's roms or K's roms
Every ROM I've built for my Vogue with the PPG Kitchen (any version) even a totally vanilla one including nothing but the basics has caused my phone to turn off after 4 minutes even though I have the power settings not to turn off on either battery or external power. This only happens with ROMs created with a version of the Kitchen. I prefer those ROMs as they are the only ones in which I've been able to get MSCV to work properly.
I don't want the phone turn off at all unless I do it manually.
Have I misunderstood something or done it incorrectly? Please help, this is driving me crazy. Thanks.
This may help to resolve the root-issue that you referenced in your message.
All credit for the cab goes here.
Best regards,

Thanks boggsie, but I am happy with everything on my phone now and don't want to deal with a different ROM; I just want fix this turning off issue.
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...
My phone goes to sleep
and does NOT wake up, the bottom row of buttons and keyboard both light up if I open them or press them.
Help please!

Stock ROM or custom? Any overclocking?
The phone powers up if you soft reset, correct?
Well, I found out it was a small problem with the rom.
It was a custom rom, and I just installed a different one and it works flawlessly.
With the other one, the light sensor did not work either.
Also, I dropped my phone the other day, and a really small spring fell out.
And the back plain on my screen is loose and opens up easily..
Which ROM?
I hate to hijack this thread but i am having the exact same problem. Basically when i put my phone to sleep its hit or mess as to if it will wake. It seems to have started when i flashed Energy ROM. It was terrible after that, so I switched back to the stock ROM available from the HTC website and all seemed well at first. Now its back to hit or miss.
I cant really rule out a hardware issue such as a broken sensor or something because I'm not sure how the mechanics of it work. When i push the power button on top the phone wakes but not the screen I know this because the 4 lights on the bottom light up and the keyboard as well. I can hit the button repeatedly but it doesnt help. At other times it works flawlessly, but usually does not.
Can anyone give me a suggestion as to what it could be, or a way to rule out a hardware issue?
Exactly my problem!
It was perfectly fine for the first day or so before it started crapping out again..
Can someone please help us with this problem?
It's mind consuming and it's making me worry.
Until TP3 is out, I won't get a new phone ):
Well, the problem is discussed in great detail on the internet, but no one can give a definitive answer. ..
I've been a touch pro 2 user for exactly 3 days... My new HD2 from T-Mobile is in the mail... This is a un acceptable flaw with no real solutiion... Good Luck TP2 users....
Good luck to you.
I've had mine for over two years and it was flawless
Just one recent drop determined everything
Although I Must say, it was one hell of a durable phone
Yea, dont get me wrong. I really like the phone. Thats why I'm getting the HD2. Great OS and big beautiful screen. I'm gonna miss the slide out keyboard but I think thats what breaks these phones.
I'm excited that there's the possibility of running Windows Mobile 7 on it.

I'd like to try to help. But you never answered my question of what ROM you are on (and which one you tried previously).
I've determined my problem is 100% hardware related. If I open my keyboard and then grab the screen and tweak it while pressing the power button it comes onn 100% of the time. Sux, but at least I know the cause now

Every once in a while my phone would turn on and I wouldn't know why
But yeah, I think it is hardware related.
I previously used Energy then went to Jacko's.
Both were perfectly fine, just the upsetting sleep function and light sensor would keep the phone off.
HELP: Same problem Phone not waking up
Hi saw this thread and was wondering if anyone can help me.
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 for some month now...
Using the following details:
OS Version: 5.2.21887 (21887.5.0.86)
ROM Version: 2.07..401.1 (80303) WWE
ROM date: 02/04/10
Radio ver: 4.49.25.91
stock ROM basically...
THe issue is that the phone doesn't wake or when using it just freezes/hangs.
Not much software/apps installed... and memory is good as well.
I just don't know what's going on...
Help please.
Thanks

I'd agree with the notion that its likely hardware related. I've flashed maybe 10 different builds of Energy over the last 7 months or so, and never once had and issue with the SOD (sleep of death) that I can recall. A bad flash can sometimes happen. But since you flashed another reputable ROM (Jackos), that somewhat eliminates the possibility that a bad flash is the culprit.
You can start from scratch, by running Task29 to format the ROM area of the phone's memory, and reflash the ROM. But this would be just to eliminate the possibility of a bad ROM flash. My gut says that you won't see any different results.
Running the phone "clean" for a while (to see if you still have the SOD) without any software installed or any other modifications will eliminate the possibility that any software or mods are responsible for the issue.
are you sure its hardware related? because my phone started doing this yesterday too...I had an energy rom from october, and it was really buggy. I am only able to keep my phone from sleeping when it is plugged in to some power, so i flashed the newest energy rom and still having the same problem...wont wake up from sleep
EDIT:
I dont see how this can be hardware related because everytime i soft-reset, the screen works again. this problem only happens when the device goes to sleep...
Any overclocking?
As I already mentioned, I never had any SODs on Energy that I can recall, except when using OCT (OverClocking Tool).
I have done no overclocking...I just flashed the newest energy rom like 15min ago...is there anything else I can do or check? it looks like the phone works still, just no backlight...
After flashing the ROM, maybe try running it "clean" for a day or two, don't install any software or do any mods, reg edits, etc. If you still have problems with the phone waking up with a new ROM, and no other software or other mods, than it may indicate a hardware problem.
And be sure to run Task29 before you flash the new ROM, if you don't already do that.
You guys should read the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648134
You're not the only ones (by any means) with the SOD issue. But it isn't at all clear what causes the issue. Lots of different theories in that thread about various software or ROMs, with no clear solution.
Lots of conflicting info, but some comments on the thread suggest (as I mentioned) that Task29 may help (certainly can't hurt).

Nope, definitely not sure, especially after reading the thread linked above. But as I suggested before, Task 29, try a different ROM, and run it clean with no software or mods, and start eliminating the variables.
