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.

maybe try a hard reset?
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)

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.
Hi,
last week I installed Artemis Touch 3.01 ROM. Sometimes my phone is not available although it is turned on and the signal strength is high. After sofreset phone is working again. Is there a solution for this problem?

Yes, install Touch 2.1 and everything is ok. Other solution is to use soft reset when it´s happen....
I'm also had this problem after installing version 3.01. I normally happened twice a day.
Now I installed HTC original WM6 ROM, and the problem still happens(although not so often). I'm thinking the GSM chip is broken in some way...
hi,
I had installed O2 Premium 2.0 WM6 WWE ROM, 5.2.1921 SDHC Full for 3 weeks. It happened the same to me once a day. I had to do softreset as an only solution.
Now I am trying Touch 3.01 for 4 days and it did not happen. I wonder what makes this bug and if there is a solution to fix it.
If u know the solution or reason please let us know.
I think it's a problem with the new radio upgrade, I went back to 02.98.90 and everything's ok.

Does anyone also has this problem with Touch 2.1? If not I will try it because it also has Radio 02.98.90 ...
I had this problem with Touch 2.1 & Touch 3.0 (Radio is 02.98.90) I can't call or send SMS out (it say not available wait for 15 second) but can receive call and sms to me!
I tried newest Touch 3.01 (Radio 3.07.90) and the problem fixed, I did not see this problem 2 weeks ago!
Same bug but difference cases so I think this bug is not by Radio, so please try install another ROM
For me Radio 3.07.90 is fine!
By the way, you don't have to soft reset, just close and open the phone in Comm Manager
had same problem for the first time...
hello all
I have written the following in the main 3.01 thread:
I just want to address this point, I had a Qtek S200 (I am not sure but it may be the prophet) and I have experienced similar problems, this was also why I have sold it after 3 months... - what I am trying to say is that this may be either an HTC or WM related problem.
However, I have not experienced this with my artemis wich I have since september so far and I have used wm5, touch 2.01 full and now since release 3.01 full, but it is also rather hard to find that bug...

unfortunately, I have now also experienced the problem, I was not available. However, I was able to make a phonecall and receive a SMS from which I took notice of the problem.
I must say, I would not have much of problem to close and open the phone on comm man. or even soft reset, I would just like to prevent to do it too often. How do you guys find out that you are unavailable again? The reception does not seem a good indication as it was full when I was not available...
Thanks for your comments,

Im having this problem too since i intalled WM& first the HTC official rom, and now with touch 3.01..first i thought it was some app but the problem still exists and the annoying part is that i dont know when the phone app freezes and i dont receive sms or phone call alert. I always have to check to see if i have phone or not anyone discovered a solution?
Anyone? It's happening at least one time per day

It sounds like you're talking about something else. I think the OP was saying that his signal shows full or good and when he tries to make a phone call, it says the phone is not ready or available. You said you're able to make calls and SMS, but with this situation, you cannot connect to use the phone at all except BT, Wifi, & GPS. I'm assuming you mean that people can't reach you when they call but your can still make phone calls. ? I've had that happen to me on other phones in the past. I always thought it was a network issue.
I too have this problem and I've had it on the Touch ROMs and the Premium 2.1 ROM that I'm currently using. I've used radio 02.98.90 & now using 3.07.90. I can't remember if I had the issue with 02.98.90 though. But it's the same as the OP. The signal shows full but you can't make a phone call or anything. If you go to the Comm Mgr and try to turn the radio off and then on, it will not turn the radio off. The signal still shows full but no connectivity. This usually happens to me if I go a few days to a week without soft resetting. I reset my device maybe once every 2 days to avoid the problem.
So I'm not sure if it's a radio problem, ROM problem, or hardware problem. It doesn't happen that often so I just live with it but I'd love to learn what the source of the problem is and get a fix (or work around) for it. I was just thinking yesterday that maybe I need to go back to radio 02.98.90 but from the posts, it seems that it is happening on this radio too.
What happen to me is that the pda works normal the signal strenght too but when i press the green key to acess the phone or go to lost call or so nothing happen. And when the phone rings when in this state it only lights the keypad light but wont ring or show anything on the sreen and wont register a lost call or any SMS..

I have Vanilla 1.0 and I had that problem two times a week. It was caused by enAlarmPPC -alarmclock program, which freezed TomTom Navigator when loading it and caused that problem too. When I took enAlarmPPC away, it has done it only once during 30 days.
The problem was annoying, because I thought all things are fine, and I did not know, that I cannot make a phone call or to receive it or to send and receive sms.
The only program i have for alarm e spb time now but i will try to remove it to see if it works. Thanks.
Just got this issue today directly after connecting to wifi and updating weather. Phone was working fine - no resets or malfunctions for 5 days! The only thing I've done today that I haven't done in the past 5 days was connect to wifi. I just noticed my signal was full at work and I know it's usually about 4 bars. So I tried to make a phone call and got the following message:
"Cannot complete the call. The signal may be unavailable or the phone number may not be valid. Verify the number or try again later."
And when I try to connect to GPRS, I get this message:
"Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacture's documentation and try again."
This is all while the signal strength is full and the green light is flashing. I just doen't know Maybe it has something to do with the Comm manager. I haven't used the Comm Mgr in 5 days either, so could be issues with it since it seems to be ineffective at turning the phone on or off in this condition. Hopes someone can figure this out.
same problem
I had touch 2 installed and it worked fine for months. but last 2 weeks the phone freezes and I can't do anything and have to soft reset.
Now I installed Touch 3.0 and again the same problem. once or twice a day when I press a button, the screen stays black doesn't respond at all. sometimes I start a app (random) and it just freezes and I have to sof reset.
remember i worked months with Touch 2 and never had the problem!
Already tried to take spb time but still freeze the phone app with no warning and random..only one time after two day but i miss a lot os sms or important calls since i have to chech everytime if its stuck or not
I don't get my texts while my screen is off. Once the screen is turned on, they come through, but not while off. HELP!

Same problem here. I'm running 6.5 WWE
Same problem here. ATT Stock ROM. I do get my messages sometimes when my screen off but most of the time I'll turn on my screen and i'll get 2 or 3 sms messages at once.

Nope not for me.
I havent notcied that problem with mine. Also att stock rom on the tilt 2 only have the newest radio installed 4.4.9 (i think it is). and no issues with sms or mms not coming in when the screen is off, never noticed an issues before updating the radio either though.
Try this: Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event:
Reminders > check "Display message on screen."
new text message > check "Display message on screen."
new MMS message > check "Display message on screen."
Ect ..
Also .. try this cab ..
I spoke too soon. I have recently been encountering this ever since I flashed the htc stock rom 1.86.401.0. it doesnt happen often, but it has caught my attention. before it would come thru with the screen off and when it did come thru the screen wouldnt turn on which was great, but now sometimes it will come thru and sometimes it wont until I turn the screen on, and I have events notification unchecked, I like the idea that the screen doesnt come on to avoid accidential touching of the screen when in the clip. So has anyone found anything to make it stop? Using tilt 2 on ATT.
this sometimes happens to me but a soft reset helped a bit i have no clue as to why this happens but id like to get an answer if anyone can post back
same thing had happened to me. i found out it was the new pocket shield that i was running that kept me from getting the they r suppose to come in.. hard reset will kill it and should b up n running... im on sprint running stock rom!
Werll I dont have the pocket shield. And mine started doing it after flashing the stock rom on HTC site for EU. So I know its not any programs I put in or any custom roms. I think what happens is the radio possibly falls asleep at times and doesnt wake up.
this happens to me as well, but not all the time. Im on official WWE 6.5 Asia ROM.
Strangely, this happen whenever i use custom ringtones (not from windows). Whenever i switch to any ring from windows, the message comes all the time. Can anybody confirm this?
I have the same problem. I have an official Eastern Europe ROM 1.86.401.1. (clean install, no third parties soft installed).
The problem appears even with windows ringtones. I hope there will be a hotfix soon! All my friends think I am ignoring them

Same here. but I also found another bug, I know I should make another post, but I think XDA will kill me
But if you happen to notice that along with this, you will notice that at times, the txt will come thru but you get no alert. And I am using the same rom your using. Its been happening since this rom, and also happens with nrgz rom so its specific to the rom not the tinkering. But I was txting someone today and after about the 3 or 4th interchange I noticed the person hadnt txt back in like 10 mins, when I turned the screen on there was a txt msg that didnt notify me, didnt turn on or alert me, so there seems to be two bugs with it.
Unless anyone has looked into this, I am going to look further and see if this is only when using HTC's enhanced msg program, if it happens thru WinMO going thru all messages. I'll let you know unless someone has looked into this already.

so far im using the ringtones that is provided by default from the windows and everything is good. Will report back though if i do find the problem again.
Oh and btw i had the stock 6.1 WWE Asia ROM before i upgrade to the official 6.5, the 6.1 behave the same way too. Perhaps it is the manila messaging that cause the problem
edit: I contacted HTC via email and they said that they "have no special setting" for this isssue. They suggest me to perform a hardreset. I replied back, "i have and the problem still exist". I'll see what they send me tomorrow and i'll share it with you guys.
I do suggest that we all report this bug to HTC via their email customer service thing so that they recognise the problem and release the hotfix.

I think they are going to have a difficulty with this one because its not repetative and is intermittent. I can say I never noticed this with the HTC Fuze and dont think I ever had this problem.
And being that it doesnt happen often enough I dont think people are going to catch it and they are going to think that they just didnt hear it, unlike us nuts
Hi guys i have posted this on another thread but it has similar symptoms, below is what i have posted in the thread.
I am having a problem with the notification system.
Lets say a person Name "A" sent me a sms, the phone will ring and the light blinks if i did not attend to it.
However the problem starts whenever I replied "A" but left the phone in the TF3D threaded msg screen with "A". After sometime the phone goes to standby. But when "A" replies my msg again, they phone only vibrates and does not ring. The Yellow Led does not blink as well.
I am currently using a stock ROM and i am not sure if you guys experience this as well.
This is Rather annoying as most of the time after replying a person's sms, i would just hit the standby button straight away without bother exiting the threaded sms screen. But if i do that, the next sms that comes in from the same person will not ring or trigger the LED.
I am not sure if this problem has been posted and fix, but after many days of searching i cant seem to find a solution for it.
some basically it means the notification did not come through only in the manila threaded msg screen with the specific person, because i guess they somehow got tricked to thinking that we are actually reading the msg when in reality the screen is off and we are not reading it. Please Check if this describe your problem.
I still need a solution for this
pukipuki,
Seems based on what your saying this might be the htc manila msg program, can you confirm if the same happens if you go to all msgs and bring up the person your talking to thru there and see if it happens that way too? My suspicision is that it wont do it, but I want to be sure, cause thats been my guess all along.
Or can anyone else confirm that it is only happening in the htc threaded msg and not the winmo threaded msgs.
My suggestion would be to try turning System Event Sounds on in the Sounds section in the Settings tab in TouchFLO/Sense. (Alternatively you can acheive the same effect by ticking the Events checkbox in the Sounds tab in "Sounds & Notifications" in Settings for WinMo.)
I came across the 'no sound alert' problem for new texts and found that the audio alert tone came back when I made the above change. (Funnily enough when I was having this problem, I had enabled vibrate for new texts and the phone vibrated even though there was no audio.)
Even with that setting on, the problem still exists.
Hi folks, having a slight issue with my TP2. It is running the preinstalled vodafone rom for the UK. (version 1.14.161.6 (50207) WWE)
Over the last two days it has stopped automatically powering down the screen when not being used. The backlight switches off as normal, but the screen does not shut down until i press the power button. So if I forget, the screen can stay on all night, killing the battery.
Have been into the settings,on the power screen, and checked all 4 boxes are checked for the times to shut off the backlight and screen on both battery and mains power, and they are.
Any ideas? I have not installed any new software so am stumped. Any common causes of this behaviour?
Cheers
Jon
did you change it through the manila settings tab or start/settings/system/power/backlight ? the reason why i ask is because sometimes when you set settings through manila tab settings, the settings dont work. try deactivating manila, then start/settings/system/power/backlight , then reactivate manila. hope that helps. if not im stumped too.
Is manila part of touchflo? If so I don't have it enabled, I just use spb shell on top of winmo 6.1, so yes was using start/settings/power method.
However, not sure if I have hit upon the problem - I use a program called g-alarm (which is one of the best programs ever), and in it's settings there is a way to keep the screen on when the alarm is snoozed. I recently enabled this, and wonder if it might have messed up the os settings somehow.
I tried uninstalling g-alarm last night and it made no difference, but since restoring a backup, and changing the screen-on setting within g-alarm to off the phone is working normally.
I daren't re-enable the setting to test it, just in case the phone gets messed up again for good this time so this might be a total red herring, and perhaps it was just the restore that did the trick (although have restoring before at least 3 or 4 times with no joy). Will report back when I dare to mess again.
cool to here you are back to normal lol. it would have been a major hassle if you had alot of apps, accounts and whatnot to reinstall. i got really pissed at g-alarm one time when it wouldnt stop going off (phantom alarm) so i will never use it again. you might want to find the thread from where you got it and report the bug. maybe someone else has the same problem and the developer came out with a patch or upgrade for it.
Had same problem on 2 phones
I had same problem on 2 phones- Tilt2 and Kaiser (Tilt). Problem was.... Microsoft Live. When mail account set to ..As Arrived... phone doesn't go to sleep and keeps screen on permanently. Battery was empty in half of the day. After I switched to use POP or IMAP mail and stopped using Live, everything became normal and works excellent.
Here is the Answer
Maybe you have played some games and did not close it by the normal way..
Try to change the registry:
自动关屏时间
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\
"BatteryTimeOut" = 10
Then
另一种方法是在HKCU\ControlPanel\Power\
Display=25 改成自己想要的值
If there is not one,create it by yourself..
Well, it still happened today, so I think that rules out the g-alarm backlight setting. However, it worked fine most of the time, so intermittent.
Papasha, I think you could be onto something there, I do use MS live. Be a shame to lose the push mail though, but that's the next thing i'll try disabling if it recurs again.
Will try that too fishman if problem comes back, the backlight key is present but the display setting is not. Easily created though.
*post Updated on 28-1-10*.
The problem did start recurring again, so I tried the suggestion to disable the hotmail pushmail (sync items as they arrive) and that has definitely sorted the problem. As a very welcome side effect the phone suffers major slow downs far less now, if at all. I still use livemail but just set it to sync every 60 mins.
Hi. I've been in a dilemma all afternoon and it's been literally 8 hours that i've been looking for a solution to this but I can't find one. So i've decided to post here.
I have a Sprint TP2, on the latest EnergyROM.
Here's my problem:
Everytime I receive a text when the phone is on standby, the screen will turn on, and it will stay on for the next 1 minute. So my phone would be on and wasting battery for the next 1 minute. I'm concerned because I receive a lot of texts a day, I've overclocked my phone and it uses a lot of battery when it is on, and i barely have enough battery to get me through the day. The setting for the phone to turn off is at it's lowest (1 minute), and if i had my way, I'd like it to be set at 5 minutes because i dont like the screen to turn off while i'm doing something.
Is there a way for the screen to turn on when I receive a message, then turn back off after around 3 seconds (like the iPhone)?
or maybe a sure-fire way to keep my phone from waking up when i receive a text?
I actually searched for the setting/registry tweak that completely disables "wake up on SMS" but weirdly, it doesn't work for me and for many other people.
I've tried using the proximity-off feature, but it's not as effective as i want it to be.
If you have any suggestions for me, please let me know. Thank you!

If you like the iPhone look, then you could use a lockscreen to get the results you're looking for. S2U2 is a lockscreen resembling the iPhone one. It also has tons of features to play with including one to set the screen timeout in seconds. I used to have it set to 10 seconds, but you could do three if you wish.
S2U2 did the trick! thanks!
Keep screen off after receiving text
Finally found a thread that is similar to what I'm looking for. I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro2 CDMA with Energy Rom installed and I wanted to know if there was any way to keep the screen from turning on when I receive a text.
I would still like it to turn on when I receive a call, just not a text because when I receive a text, I normally let it sit in my pocket for a while before I respond (I do a lot of driving)... which means that right now, it is just sitting in my pocket with the monitor on, wasting battery life.
I've tried everything from going through the general settings to Total Commander. Have not figured it out yet and would GREATLY appreciate it if anyone could help me out with this.
Thanks in advance!

I wasn't able to get the screen not to turn on at all. Just download S2U2. The screen will turn on when you get a text, but depending on your setting, it will turn off after a few seconds when youre on the lockscreen. S2U2 works wonderfully. Try it.
Screen off help
Check out this THREAD for a possible fix. It works for me!
Yeah, I tried S2U2... was just hoping there would be a way to completely disable the screen from turning on at all when receiving a text.
Thanks for the help!
