HERMES Auto suspend fix

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
HTC zindabad (i.e. long live HTC)

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.

Well unfortunately I have had the problem happen to me once, and I have larger batter drain than before.

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?

[LG KS20] A common issue...

Hi everyone,
I've bought an LG KS20 few weeks ago, and I've found it had important problem. In fact, it seems that I'm not the only one to have noticed this problem (French forum here).
Details :
During a phone conversation, the screen always shut off (so that you don't click on it with your cheek), and generally the microphone also turns to MUTE MODE. In fact, I can perfectly listen to my friend, but he can't anymore!! I have to move the joystick, or click somewhere to EVENTUALLY fix the problem.
This issue randomly comes up during a conversation.
Some people says they brought their phone to the seller, sent it for repairing, but got it back with the same problem.
The request :
Are there some phone genius that could have a look on it? Is XDA Community more able than LG Electronics for upgrading ROM ?
Thank you very much for your services.

i have same this problem

Well, I don't have a LG KS20 but I have a HTC Kaiser. Both phones are a bit similar, even having the same chipset. Kaiser did have this "feature" of turning of the screen during a call, but that would not mute the mic.
If you are brave, check it and see if there are registry keys like this:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
Try disabling them, setting their value to zero. Hopefully your device will not sleep while you're talking.
I took this from KaiserTweaks, maybe it works for your phone too. And be careful not to mess up with anything else on your registry .

How to enable proximity sensor when bluetooth is paired with headset

My bluetooth headset is paired with my TP2 at all times, but a lot of the time I don't use it, rather I hold the phone to my ear the conventional way. I noticed when the phone is paired with a bluetooth headset and I answer without using the headset, when I move the phone close to my ear the screen will not turn off by itself, thus the proximity sensor is disabled.
My question is how do I enable the proximity sensor to turn the screen off WHILE a bluetooth headset is paired?
Thanks!

There you go.

With this cab installed and my Tilt2 paired to my BT deck in my car, I could no longer pickup incoming calls. As soon as I uninstalled it, the problem went away. Not sure what changes it makes, but it does resolve one issue, but possibly creates another...

Must be conflicting with some sort of software you have. It works perfectly on mine.

There seems to be a problem with this application. While it performs admirably for the purpose it was created for, it seems to have some side effects.
1) When you start the Task Manager application (Dot Fred's), it just freezes. You can never see the list of processes in the task manager as long as this program is in memory.
2) I have a suspicion that it might be the cause of a higher than usual battery drain.

You seem to be right with the Task Manager application freezing when loading. That's very weird. I haven't noticed much difference in the battery drain but it looks like I will be uninstalling this due to the problem with task manager. I also hard reset my phone yesterday and after installing a few different cab files (such as this one), TomTom was unable to install. You would think enabling the proximity sensor when a bluetooth headset is paired would be a simple registry edit.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

1)Your right about Dot Fred's task manager app it does freeze when this app is on. I will look into that
2) I suppose but to be honest the app is only about 25 lines of code and all it does it check if your on the phone and if you are then enable proximity sensor. so i don't think it would be that noticable.... Has anyone else noticed significant battery drain
Ok so now that i answered your questions can you please answer mine. Where did you get that cab you posted above? Thanks

I got from somewhere around here. I'm assuming you are asking me about it becuase of the Title of the CAB. I modify the titles of all my CABs before installing them on my device. Makes it easier for me to keep track of it.
I'm sorry... didn't mean to take away any credit from you. Can you send me your original CAB so I can replace the one I have posted here with it, or better yet, just send me a link to your thread and I'll post it there.
Cheers

no need Im not really looking for credit as much as my curosity on why you removed my name from the app but what you say makes sense so no harm no foul

**Possibly Solved** No SMS, MMS Notification During Standby/Sleep

I think I may have stumbled onto a solution to our dreaded quiet phone that doesnt notify us of a SMS or MMS and possibly email when the phone goes to sleep or standby. I have searched asked inquired, and beat every search engine and found absolutely nothing. So being frustrated of seeing msgs pop up when I hit the power button to wake the phone up I went hunting and I think I found it. I tested this all of today and so far I havent missed one yet, and normally I miss at least 3 a day. Its still in a testing phase so I DONT guarantee this works, but with some feedback with others, it might be the solution. I did alot of comparing with my other phones and my 8125 and 8525 had a different value so i changed it to that value.
I have made it a cab file so that anyone who wants to try it can uninstall it if it doesnt work, I suggest a soft reset after making this change. This changes the following location:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000001
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000
Good Luck! And if it works or doesnt, please leave feedback of either thanx or didnt work, like I said so far its working on my att tilt 2 stock eu rom 1.86

Nice one, but its already been solved here.

Well at least its here, I know there is a ton of posts going around in here about this problem, and I did munerous searches, but obviously if you dont get the right keyword you'll never find the post.

so what does this do? light the screen up everytime there is a message? or basically just solve the problem of message not ringing in sleep mode?

Basically it does the same thing it did with the 8125 and the 8525 when a msg comes in the screen wakes up from sleep, so far (I thought) I might have found a solution, but it seems I was beaten to it.
So far there isnt a solution found yet of the alert coming thru without lighting the screen up as far as I know.

yea, i thought it lights up the screen when msg comes. I have a habit of putting the phone to sleep without locking it, so it might cause problem when i put it in my pocket as i receive message more than calls.
Thanks anyway mate

Yeah but if you have the end key setup as a long hold it will lock the screen to prevent that accidential tapping of the screen. Unless you have a modded rom then you would have to see what key it is. But hey for me its better then missing a msg.

Hi AngelDeath,
Just wanted to say thx for this one -I realise this thread is old, but it's sorted my no sms alert issue on my HD2. It had been driving me nuts for ages!

Sleep mode issues

Sleep mode issues
I have discovered that if I let my Artemis go into sleep mode it doesn't "take calls". Doesnt even register a call came in.
It does let me know I had a voicemail
it does pick up on text messages.
Just not incoming calls.
When I try to call out after I wake it up from sleep mode, it tries, but just does not want to connect. Phone doesn't freeze, just never makes the call. when I try to hang up, the "hanging up" screen stays forever, but I can go back to home screen. The phone icon in the top left taskbar never goes away, either. ( happens only sometimes otherwise outgoing works fine)
I am fairly certain this is a known issue, but is there any workaround for this? Perhaps command in startup txt regarding sleep mode?
Its sad..its just like a brick in Sleep mode and u cod end up making many enemies in ur freinds circle when you are not calling back...
Please help me
I am using Mischel Rom touch 4.02 6.1
