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?

Hard-reset if this doesn`t solve it re-flash...

Interesting.... I just started having this problem as well. I went hard reset... not solved. I re-flashed (using proper procedure)... and it was solved for a couple of days... and then returned.
I then used the forum search function, crazy how that works and found this thread.
Hope that helps.

Are you using maniac's AutoKeylock ?
I have experienced this issue ever since loading Rose ROMs - didn't happen on earlier ones.
However, this last time I flashed to the latest update, I did not install AutoKeylock immediately after flashing. I left this off as I had noticed that the screen was going white 30 seconds into calls (which was the timeout I had configured in AutoKeylock) and I wondered if there was a correlation.
Can anyone else who has seen the issue comment on whether they use AutoKeylock or not. It is possible there is some change in the ROM that AutoKeylock does not handle well.
Thanks.

I think that the WSOA (white screen of annoyance) is tied to the low-light function and joggr bar. Go to joggr settings, and be sure that the checkbox with the lowlight function is disabled.

I had the white screen issue for a few days, tried everything.....as soon as I uninstalled GlyphCache 65535 found here, the problem went away

it comes and goes its just something messed up that happenes probably nothing to worry about, just little anoying is all.

Check power management registry settings
Hi,
I had this problem once and fixed it by changing the registry settings that control what happens when the device enters various power states. Search the forum about this as the answer is in there somewhere Hope this helps.

CleanRAM auto clean

Great app! However, I seem to be having a problem with setting up an auto cleaning schedule. Its never seemed to work for me and this was confirmed when I tested it with a specific time and nothing happened. I've enabled it and set it to automatically run a clean every few hours or so to avoid having to soft reset often but it doesnt seem to be doing working.
So my question is, what is the procedure to getting the auto schedule to work and has anyone else run into this problem?
Thank you

yea it doesn't seem to be working for me either. i also was sure to do the enable sense in the registry too.

Sorry for bumping this thread. But I didn't want to start a new one.
Was just wondering if anyone has been able to resolve this issue?

I'm having a similar issue. DIdn't think the scheduler worked at first because I set it for a specific time (11:30pm) and it never seemed to work. After a while (several weeks later) all of the sudden my phone is rebooting at the same time every day (only it's at 11:30am). So strange and a little irritating.
I removed the scheduler but it still reboots every day. Not sure if it's due to this app's scheduler, but a lot of coincidence.

I use the scheduler for a daily cleaning and have had no problems with it.

yeah thats what i do, no problems with the schedular...

Do you notice it ever auto cleaning then? I never have done, so not too sure why it wont work. Is it noticable while it's cleaning?
I too have also noticed my device auto resetting a couple times in the past week at around 12.30am (I had to be looking at it at the time to notice it). Not sure if its due to the auto clean, as I currently have it turned off. Cannot be bothered to even begin to try and solve that particular issue atm though.

[Q] Alarm clock broken?

I seem to be having a problem with my Alarm Clock for some reason and can't figure out what is happening.
Last week I had to get up @ 7:25AM so I tapped the clock on the home screen, set one alarm to 7:25 and one to 7:30 so I would not oversleep. Worked flawlessly all week so no worries there. This week, I don't really need to get up since I'm off from work, so I went to the home screen, tapped the clock and not only slid both sliders to "Off" for the alarms, I also made all alarm-clocks show 0:00.
Surprise surprise; for 7 days straight, my phone is waking me @ 7:25AM and then again @ 7:30AM.
Looked up the registry setting HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock and check the 3 registry-keys for all 3 alarms. All seem to be set to NOT wake me at all.
Getting quite tired of this; anyone has any idea to how to solve?

What ROM?
Have you tried rebooting after you made the change?
WinMo is quite dumb at times.

Forgot to mention indeed but using the Energy-ROM.
Rebooted my phone both after changing the alarm-time and after changing/checking the registry. Both failed coz I woke up 7:25AM again today...

Sorry, I haven't used WinMo in ages. Random weird issues like this drove me batty. Android has gotten to the point where (for me) I can use it daily. Good luck.

You may just need to clear your notification queue. This has been a long running bug in WM since PPC 2003 was out. The simplest way by far is to use SK Tools. If you are a WM user who doesn't own this, then something is wrong with you!
The other, much longer, option is detailed by JVH3 in THIS POST.

I've never actually heard of SK Tools. Learn something new every day...
I still like my solution better tho .

Ditch WM .
Rebooting was obviously a bust...

Late update but it seems to have solved itself...
Well, not completely without a hitch; I started with cleaning out the registry. Then I disabled all push-updates to the phone (weather, mail, gps mapping and so on). Set all alarm-clocks to 0:00 and rebooted the device a few times. Next morning, the alarm went off again so I rebooted it again.
And ever since, not had this problem again... And yes, people saying to ditch WM, I might but in a month time I can get a new/free phone from my provider but unsure if I will go for Android or WM7.5.

I posted the known solutions a few posts back. SKTools is the simpler one of the two. If you can't get your hands on a copy of it, there was an alternative in that same post. All you have to do is clear your notification queue.

[Q] Phone periodically showing wrong time.

Every now and then my phone shows the wrong time. I have to reset it and it fixes, but it has become a nuisance because it will do it in the middle of the night and my alarm goes off.
The phone is stock with the latest update.
I've searched google and the forums to no avail. Maybe I've been using the wrong search words. Any help will be much appreciated.

Did you checked Settings-Date and time-Automatic date and time? Just try to set the date and time by yourself not automatic.

I had this problem back when I first got the Note 2 on both my wife and I's phones.
All I can say is, I hope it's as simple as the previous poster mentioned in your case because I spent a month tinkering with settings, letting Sprint techs do some tinkering themselves, and completely wiping and upgrading the ROM on one phone to no avail.
Good luck!
In the end, one phone suddenly started keeping time for no apparent reason and a month later the other one did as well. Huge pain since the time shifts are unpredictable.
