I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
had this problem once: I switched on the camera, and then left the device on the table for a long time - so it went to standby.
I could not wake it up by the power button after 20 minutes, but as an incoming call came, it was ringing with a black display, and I could answer the call with my BT headset. screen was still pure black
finally I pushed the reset button and since then everything is fine - I still feel this was connected to the camera.

Yeah if it only happened the once then that was probably the case, if you have the problem on a regular basis and you know its nothing to do with the camera (becuase you never loaded it) then you have the problem I am describing.
I have exactly the same problem has Terta.
I'm 100% sur that it's the camera that make this bug I have tried all my weekend to reproduce the bug a lot of time and it was always the camera...
Hope someone can fix this bug cause now I can't take any photo without soft-reseting my phone. Very, very, very annoying...
I messed around with the sound app SRS WOW HD for a while to get it work on TP2, with this installed, mine did exactly the same thing.
Sometimes it happened straight away (first sleep), other times it happened a day or so later.
Uninstalled, it did not happen again.
(Not the SIM or Camera for me)
Go figure!

Yes I guess there are many reasons for the Standby of Death, if you have ruled out all software causes such as the camera or installed apps then have a think about the SIM and/or the settings that impact the SIM.
Its the last thing most people will think about. It worked for me and got rid of a random SOD problem 2-3 times a week which coinceded with being in weak 3G areas (where the phone might switch bands automatically) although that never occured to me at the time.
You see I haven't installed other applications nor do I load up the camera and leave it running so I couldn't figure out what was causing it, it just happened randomly not connected with anything particular that I was doing.
i hope there is some kind of magical solution for this because i just got my Sprint TP2 today and I have this issue everytime my phone goes into standby. Pushing the power button wont bring it out but every once in a while opening the keyboard does. I have to continually reset my new phone just to use it
PS; beyond this annoyance, I love it!

Try taking out the SIM card and see if it still happens everytime the phone goes into standby...
For the past few days I have been restarting my phone thru the soft reset. I think this is a windows issue...it has happened to me even without having the camera app running, and yes I checked the task manager. Hopefully this will be fixed when windows mobile 6.5 comes out, since Im getting frustrated with this phone...I have the phone for about a month now....grrr Stand by of Death!!!

so its not just mine then? this is ridiculous
Right, i had got seriously fed up with the standby of death happending, so i decided to contact HTC Europe directly.
They went over the usual 'factory reset' and 'update' solutions before coming to the conclusion that either there is a loose connection/faulty screen or there is some confiliction between drivers of the pre-installed software.
Because all HTC phones have 2 years warrenty as standard they have asked me to send if off so they can invistigate the problem and send me a replacement.
So if anybody is in the same boat as me a suggest you contact HTC and arrange a fix/replace.
Hope this helps.

Add me to the list, seems to happen when I am charging my phone and it hits 100%
This phone reminds me of all my previous Sony Ericsson phones....very unstable OS' ... Makes me regret of getting this one and should've gotten an iPhone...but then again I'm pretty sure iPhone's have issues that apple fanboys aren't admitting. The reason that made me not get an iphone is because of ATT's ridiculous plan pricing...Its crazy!!!
if you are on sprints network, take out the sim card. This has fixed the issue for me. Used to get SOD a few times a day but opening the keyboard and then pressing the power button used to get me out of it. This was really annoying, and i read that it may be issues with the sim card. Took that out a week ago and havent had a SOD yet

Jabberoo I can verify that this was caused by the SRS WOW HD program on my touch pro 2 as well. AS SOON as I uninstalled this application, restarted, everything was fine again.
I don't know if this will help anybody but if your phone suffers from SOD and you have TMO put it in airplane mode and see if it still does it.
I did that and it never went into SOD so that lead me to believe that the radio was the culprit. before that I tried everything listed. I don't have the 3G Plan so the 3.45.25.14 (T-Mobile) radio is the only one that worked for me.
I have the same problem.. just have installed spb mobile shell with mskip ultimate. I try to unistall all
I have a question: if I choose the 3G only option (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) and the signal strength is low there will not be an automatic switch between 3G and 2G am I right? ...and i'm offline then

Confirming this....
I had this issue for a while now...I tried hard resets, ROM flashes etc. It all works fine and was stable until I flash Sps Wow HD (I just realized this). Yesterday I flashed the latest HTC released sense ROM and right now after installing all the softwares I had the SOD again. Fortunately I saw the 2 posts and thought I will give it a try...and guess what?
I uninstalled the Srs Wow HD and phone is back to normal...no issues till now...will report later if I see any.
I am going to tmobile to get the SIM changed anyways hoping that it will fix another issue I am having. Every day I have to turn the airplane mode ON and OFF at least twice to get my data connection back. Mostly after a call and sometimes in random the phone is unable to reconnect to the data, it gives me an error that the epc.tmobile didnt respond or something like that. If any of you know how to fix this issue...plz help
I have been Experiencing this so called "SOD". HTC touch pro 2 sprint. On the 6.5.5 Build 23569 i had MAJOR sod issues. Energyrom , mighty , titanium , you name it. Ive Task 29 and reflashed them all multiple times. Still SOD was there... But i may have found a temp cure for me atleast. This is what i did....
First , i used task29 , next i reflashed the stock 6.1 rom, check for SOD... still had it... i task 29 again. Installed titanium edition , without sense. SOD was cured, phone worked fine, tryed to install sense 2.1, failed, SOD was back. Soo...
Then i task29 again, then repeated task29 a second time at the boot screen.... then i flashed Energyrom GTX themed 21907 build june 27th......Once it was flashed unplugged my USB plug and plugged it into the usb wall plug i have . Installed LUMOS, light sensor still was inactive and no response, could not brighten and still nothing... Installed G-light right after lumos without uninstalling lumos.... Still plugged into the AC wall USB plug....let it sit. Still nothing, couldnt adjust or brighten..... So i task 29 AGAIN... then flashed 21907 build GTX themed again... once flashed, unplugged it & back into wall charger... Installed lumos.... SUDDENLY!!! the sensor worked, and was accepting light AGAIN! ...
So i ran the LUMOS wizard, followed instructions and my phone was SOD FREE!! Let it sit over night, was fine....I wanted to see now if i could overwrite / flash over GTX themed with DiNiK glass cause i liked it better... so i DID NOT USE task29 this time, just reflashed over GTX themed one With DiNiK glass... same build 21907 and followed all my same steps, with wall plug, installed lumos, did the wizard,.... WALAaa.... works still like a charm. Have been using and testing it for 5 days, SOD is gone as far as i know.... ALSO in options, under setting / system / power / batt... i turned off the option to charge it when plugged into PC....Not sure if it helps or not. But Something i did is doing the trick. Seems between the backlight, and something to do with my 2.0 usb cord thats messing it up.
Seems to be cured... Still not sure exactly what fixed my phone. But between all that, IMO i believe installing lumos and glight triggered something also i think not letting it charge thru the PC, and only using a wall plug for charging has something to do with it....Either way . now its back to normal working just great... ONLY running LUMOS cab, and all the games i want. Energyrom Build 21907 DiNiK Glass Themed june 27th.... HOPE this helps!!! Have a wonderful DAY!
I'm seeing many users notice different little bugs with the phone (me included) and instead of having multiple threads about it, maybe we can all post it in one place where later the devs can see it and work on them once the phone is rooted etc.. Good idea/bad idea? I come from an Evo 4g with Sense rom so I wonder how many of these might not really be "bugs" but just a different user experience.
I'll start..
Accu weather app not updating location automatically
apk files downloaded from the computer and then transferred to phone are not showing up (unknown sources, usb debugging checked)
No function when touching the clock widget. It does not launch me to alarm, world clock, time etc menu. Maybe this is just a touchwiz thing as I mentioned above, I come from a sense rom.
So far those are the ones on top of my head. As I use the phone more, I'm sure I'll spot more (hope not!).
Anyone else?
Phone dialer issues
I have to reboot my phone from time to time to make a call.
It just says call ended when i try to call out.
When i reboot it works fine for a few hours.
Mentioned above plus the following so far (except reboot for calling issue):
No landscape mode using TW (auto-rotate enabled)
Red LED only available notification color (REALLY?!)
Skype video calling is upside down when using in portrait mode.
Also, phone call is automatically in Speaker mode when calling after making a Skype video call.
*Occasional phone FREEZES. As in, one minute it is okay, and the next minute, you have to do a battery pull. Happened twice since I got it on launch day.
*Browser closing for no reason. Happened 4 times since launch day.
*When plugged in with Samsung charger, phone's screen will act real glitchy
*SWYPE does not work properly, no matter the settings. Have to type normally.
That's all the software bugs I've experienced. Hardware-wise, there are reports of problems with data, 3G, 4G, and WIFI....I haven't seen any word on Bluetooth yet.

Actually, other's have experienced auto-closing apps and freezing. It's in a thread around here or at sprintusers.com, I forget which.
For the first three days I couldn't get data while roaming though the proper settings were checked. Sprint customer care reset my phone and after an hour of waiting it works.
All else its great (except for the above oddities with Touch Wiz) though I haven't checked GPS after encrypting the device.

Can you elaborate on this issue?
Also, anyone else having similar issues, please chime in.
Are you seeing a circle with a slash through it (no service) when this happens?
Can you receive calls when this happens?
Do you lose 4G or WiFi? Or is it just Voice/3G?
Does it seem to happen sometime after making a call/text (~30min), or any other pattern you've noticed?
Are you rooted?
If yes, what kernel (zedomax or tanimn/shabbypenguin - trying to narrow down an issue with one of the current root kernels)?
Exchange Appt. Notification Bug
I have had multiple reminders pop up for from my Exchange calendar and i can't seem to dismiss or snooze them from the notification bar. The snooze and dismiss buttons are available but are non responsive. The only way I can get rid of the notification is with the "Clear" button which is for all notifications. Has anyone else noticed this?

I know this may sound silly, and you may have already checked this, but check your language settings. I've read about some owners that were having problems with Swype discovered that their language was set to Spanish.
Also, on the LED notifications only being Red, I've been playing with an App called Light Flow. I've at least been able to change the notification colors to Blue using this App. Also, the App lets you use "White" as a color, which still shows a Red light, but blinks very fast if some of you prefer a faster blinking light.
I have had the roaming data issue as well. It does eventually work for me though, but on once occasion it took 10 minutes before data turned on after the roaming started. I will try calling Sprint as well.
Wifi signal is bad.. but speedtest says otherwise. I think the issue is with the amount of bars displayed and not the actual signal. I was standing 5 fee fromt he router and still didn't have full bars.
Ive been having problems today with dropping data connection. Toggling 4G off and on seems to restore it even in no 4G areas. I guess it resets the radio or something?

Just got this phone friday. So far the only bugs I am experiencing are roaming in places my evo got coverage and the security draw pattern having a mind of its own making it very hard to unlock the screen. Also the wifi reception is noticeably weaker than my evo

Ive done that already and it didnt help. Thanks, tho.
Luckily, no freezes or crashes here (knock on wood).
what i HAVE noticed is the rotate bug, for instance
when rotating the phone for texting or browsing, you have to kind of
bring it up to your chest @ about a 90 degree angle in order for it to rotate.
calibrated it all correctly & i still have to do that.
this is my first phone from the Epic/Galaxy company so im not sure if that was a problem in the original Epic 4g (non-touch) but it sure is kind of annoying :/
hopefully the dev's can tweak the gyro or SOMETHING.
Poor Wifi/3g Signal
Noticed lower bars on both wifi and 3g...when in same spot on my Evo 4g I had more...might be just how many bars its displaying and not the actual signal...but not for sure...actually went into roaming a few times when with my Evo 4g I never did (even with roaming was set to automatic...now I have it set to sprint only)
Hello. Has anyone tried updating through Kies? I tried and it says that this version of software cannot be updated. I just got my phone today. I did have problems installing the drivers. After I let it install say one or two drivers, one would error out. Once I unplugged it a few times and then plugged it back it, all of the drivers installed.
I hope this doesn't mean that Samsung is not going to upgrade to ICS or else I am taking this back. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and it won't allow updating with rooting. Thanks for any input and have a great day/night!

you have to check the check boxes next to the calender item. This is deceptive because the boxes have checks in them. But they should be green and not grey.

Sometimes, not always, when I restart my phone, things get a little crazy and somehow they must be all related. It happens as often as approx once a week. What happens is the following things:
1- I get an email from Where's My Droid that my SIM card or phone number has changed
2- Network-provided time zone changes to Central European Summertime
3- Wifi calling is turned off (however this doesn't normally stay on for some reason)
4- Visual voicemail in the phone app is missing despite still being turned on
5 - APN is not selected (the circle next to Verizon is empty aka does not have the blue dot in it)
I am on 7.1.2 and rooted. Does this happen to anyone else and is there any fix? What could be the cause?
Edit: I doubt this is related, but since I am looking for general feedback for strange bugs with my phone...
Another thing that happens is sometimes while using my phone, apps randomly reload (lack of a better word)
By reload, what happens is the app does not fully close and reopen. What happens is the app remains open ("heading" bar at the top remains) but the rest of the page I am on goes completely blank and then returns with any previous changes undone.
So say I was writing an email in gmail, the red bar at the top with the back arrow and trash can, etc. stays while the rest goes blank and any text I wrote will be gone and I have to start from the beginning. Usually when this is happening, it continues to happen repetitively for a little while. Eventually it just stops on its own. It does not seem to be related to any specific app (since it happens with a bunch of apps) unless maybe it is related to something like Swype keyboard that is always on.
Does that happen to anyone else too? What is causing this??
If your phone is 128g your nand is bad and you need a replacement. Google is aware of the issue and should swap no problem.

I'm getting tired of it, wifi disconnects and reconnects or flat out doesn't work, mobile data flat out doesn't work most times unless I reboot the phone for either of them to work. I'm rebooting about 4-5 times a day just to get either working. I'm at my wit's end and about to get rid of this thing as soon as I can.
I generally love this phone, but I'm seeing similar issues. WiFi says connected, but I don't get any data. I thought it was my network at first, but noticed other devices working. Tested network while my phone was acting like this, and my WiFi and network were working great.
Separately, my phone sometimes won't dial out. I use Google Voice, so I'm not sure if it's the phone or Google that's not working, but it's very frustrating. The dial screen comes up, then immediately disappears. No errors or anything to indicate that it ran into problems. The dial screen just flashes. Rebooting seems to fix that. But all very frustrating. Especially when I'm trying to call someone while driving. I don't want to have to look at the screen. I want to be able to tell the phone to call and know it's going to do it. Instead, I tell it to call, it confirms it will call, then nothing.

I'm getting the same problems and it's annoying the hell out of me I'm paying this phone off but I'm about to just ditch it buy a pocofone and just pay im this off separately or try to trade it in for a one plus 6T
Update: Found the culprit! When the phone is on a 2G network, it happens always when there is any (voice or data) communication and glitches are stronger when the signal is weaker. It's probably caused by an interference and bad shielding of components. Similarly how 2G network makes buzzing sound in radio speakers, on A52s it makes a mess on the screen.
At least one user (bellow) solved it by RMA - sending the phone to service and getting back new/fixed one.
Update 2: Problem fixed. I sent the phone to service center with description how to replicate the issue (phone must be on 2G network, ideally low signal, data or voice transfer is happening). Got it back after 2 weeks. Report says they replaced the display and also battery for "construction" reason (as they described it) and issue seems to be solved!
To conclude: It is indeed hardware issue and is fixed by replacing the display. If this happens to you too, don't wait for software update or anything else, send it to a service for a fix covered by the warranty!
Since few weeks ago, maybe since last update a month ago (security update from 1st October 2021), I'm randomly getting graphical glitches on my A52s.
It usually happens when I wake my phone after few hours of screen off but today I also saw few flashes even when playing a (graphically not demanding) game.
There is colour noise flashing over parts of the screen. It is usually just few random quick couple of 1/100 sec flashes, sometimes it stays a second and it disappears and everything is okay after that.
I also saw noise not covering the screen but flashing instead of wallpaper... Like there's a corruption in graphical memory, driver or whatever.
It doesn't make a difference whether the phone is freshly rebooted or running a week or two.
Does anybody else have this issue?
Is my phone (the memory, screen cable or something else) dying or is ist just a bug in current system update? I don't experience any other instabilities or problems.
(I'd send my phone to RMA but since I didn't find any consistent way to replicate this, it would make just as much of a difference as locking my phone in a drawer for a month.)
I'm appending mock-up screen shots how some of the flashing glitches look.
Clear system cache, hard reboot.
Huh, I didn't really ask for help, but yeah, that's a good idea with clearing the cache.
I rebooted to recovery and wiped the cache partition.
(I also accidentally hard rebooted when trying different button combos to enter the recovery LOL, so I did both things. In the end I had to enter the recovery using "adb reboot recovery" command because none of the button combos I found worked for me.)
I'll report back in few days whether it solved the issue or not.

A possibility as is a mobo failure but no harm in trying a few simple fixes first.
Samsung has been having a lot of issues with their displays this year...
It doesn't really feel like screen itself is dying when glitches can appear under the home screen icons in wallpaper or in the application area with status and nav bars being untouched. But I guess it can be; I have no idea how the image on screen is being redrawn.
But it happens especially after phone display is off for longer period of time. The phone then is quite sluggish, presumably because the system paused or killed some apps and is waking them up. And glitches mainly appear then.
That would suggest to me either a system memory being corrupted or something weird happening in the cache, depending on where these apps go when they're paused/killed.

Factory reset. Before loading apps confirm if ok.
Then be careful what 3rd party apps you load.
If the reset doesn't work, reflash it to a known good version.
If all that fails it's likely hardware.
The most likely cause is a 3rd party app given right to overlap other apps and this 3rd party app has crashed. Uninstall apps in opposite order of installing until problem is solved. Or factory reset.
I have the same problem, sent phone for repair.
In my case, the issue is occurring when phone is on 2g network. You could try going to network and set it to 2g only, check if it's happening, and then set it to 3g and see.
Cheers!

I have the same problem, and I can't replace the phone, the question is here, will this problem increase and affect the screen more?
Same problem here...but mostly when I am on 2G network (anyone please try and post results)...Thinking of sending phone to service...will see how it goes
Huh, I didn't get notifications for my thread, so I didn't know about all the replies!
I tested different things in last few weeks and I came to the same conclusion - that it only and always happens when my phone is on 2G network. If 2G signal is strong, it's occasional small glitchy line here and there. When the signal is really bad, it just messes up the whole screen - I had my phone ringing with screen being all just noise and mess. So I guess it's probably because of interference similarly how the 2G network connection makes buzzing sound in a radio speakers. Except here it makes a mess on the screen.
Now that I know how to reliably replicate the problem, I'll back the phone up and RMA it after christmas.
i have the same problem from the first day, it happens only in 2g signal ...and only if 2g signal is weak... i sent the phone to Samsung , they inform me that they know the problem and it will be fix ..on another update ...it s software problem they told....from this day i have take 3 updates and nothing happened....the phone still have the problem
Same here, took my a52s to a Samsung authorized repair center, after 3 repairs (the third one being the display change) it seems that the problem is solved. To me, it has nothing to do with software.
So, it's a hardware issue, I face the same problem for almost 2 months, and I don't know what to do
