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.

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.
Hello all
I just installed the lastest Artemis Touch 4.01 full from meschle, and I think it^s the best ROM I've had so far.
But:
It worked like a charm for about 2 days, but then it started crashing randomly. I installed Mortplayer and TomTom right at the beginning, so that's not the reason. Sometimes it even freezes during startup, mostly the screen just won't turn on after being idle...
Is that a common problem? What might be causing this?
thanx for helping
RizzzO
i think the best solution is flashing again!i had the same and that helped in somethings.
yeah bro
it happens with me too
any solutions
pls revert
thanks
HI
It is happening to me as well.
And i realised when i select lock from today screen, it is locking. But when i do unlock it is asking password.
Any body have this problem. I am not locking anymore with main screen.
I think I found the solution: Just don't lock the device. It's working just find, as long as I don't lock the screen...what reason might that have?

I have met the same problem, please help me, thanks.
Maybe this ROM is unstable sometime, or there are some bugs that is not found so far.
Yeah, I found it to be somewhat unstable as well.
The crashing during the idle time can be prevented by not using the screen lock. But still, yesterday it crashed twice on me during a phone call...I can still hear the person, but the screen freezes.
Hoping for some bugfixes here...otherwise the ROM is really good, and fast.

I crash often too both with Touch Lite 4.01 no cube and cube version.
Now I using Artemis 4.01 Vanilla ( no touch ) very stable.
Mine works fine
Hi,
I am using O2 Xda Orbit. Touch 4.01 works great without problems. By the way :
I am not using key lock option.
The battery drains very quick and gets hot. How is yours in battery performance ? Maybe my battery is dying....
It used to work very well for me but over the last two days I experienced crashes over and over again.
I had the same problem couple days after upgrading my HTC P3300 to WM6 downloaded from the HTC site. Tried anything I could think of - all the same. At the end I flashed back to WM5 (HTC_1[1].12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP) and all problems disappeared.
Apparently WM6 isn't tested good enough.
if u r having battery problems try flashing new radio ROM 03.08.90

Same here. Sometimes I cannot turn on the screen after a phone call. But if I wait cca. 30 seconds, the screen turns on and the phone performs all actions for the key presses I made during the screen "freeze".
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 have started this thread to point out a serious problem for a lot of us, the SOD. For me, ActiveSync is causing the SOD's, and for others there may be other problems and fixes for it. This thread is meant to explain the definition of SOD, and be a collection of all available fixes for it. So please contribute to this thread, together we can defeat the SOD!
What is a SOD?
SOD stands for Standby Of Death or Sleep Of Death, which means that when trying to wake up the phone from standby with the power button, it is unresponsive and the screen won't turn on. The only solution is a soft-reset.
What is causing the SOD?
There are many 'possible' reasons why SOD's could occur, and the precise reason isn't clear. With some ROM's you will get alot of them, and some are almost SOD-free.
If you don't know what's causing it, why this thread?
Because in this thread, all possible fixes that have been tested by XDA members will be gathered, and thus can be tested by other XDA members to fix their SOD's
Will Task29 fix my SOD?
No, Task29 doesn't actually fix the SOD's from occuring. It does however decrease the possibility of getting a SOD.
SOD Fixes
Fix #1: ActiveSync Schedule
Method:
If you are using ActiveSync to automatically retrieve your mail and/or calendar, you can try to edit the schedule to see if this reduces/fixes the occuring SOD's. To do this go to Connectivity -> ActiveSync -> Menu -> Schedule and set the "Sync During" to Manually or Every 4 hours.
Reliability:

Fix #2: Recently Installed Applications
Method:
If you have just installed an application and afterwards you're having SOD's, try to uninstall the application and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, then the application is causing it. Wait for an update or report it to the developer of that application.
Programs that can cause SOD:
Elecont Weather

usually when i get SOD's its from installed apps.
Recently i've noticed elecont weather has been causing SODs for me. Uninstalled it and everythings back to normal. (forgot which version and haven't checked if theres been an update)
Alright thanks for the feedback, I'm adding all useful information to the first post.
on a new rom and decided to give elecont weather another shot. now on version 1.4.2p and no SOD's.
I think all those that have had SOD should let us know how they got it sorted.
I have spent days looking for a solution for my Touch Pro2 but no luck. This thread can solve alot of our problems if people report back what they did to solve theirs,
/Boot
I started expierencing the SOD issue this morning out of no where. I haven't intstalled anything for weeks and I've been running the sprint stock rom for months. I think mine might be a hardware issue. I flashed to NRGs rom and still had the issue. I flashed back to sprints stock rom and it's still happening EVERYTIME the phone goes into standby. I push the power button and the phone won't wake up. I can slide the keyboard out and the button backlights light up but none on the buttons/keys work.
Try installing LUMOS to avoid SOD
i have a couple of TP2 with the SOD problem.
I read several post recommending LUMOS, so i did a quick test and it seems that it's really solving the SOD and also giving a little more battery dimming the screen.
Give it a try and let us know your comments.
Hello XDA Rhodium Community!
I've been lurking these forums for a few weeks since I purchased a TP2 about a month ago.
I own a Verizon CDMA TP2 and GSM unlocked it for use with my T-Mobile sim card (pay as you go). I have successfully tried many of the custom roms available here and settled on using Mr. X's latest Sense UI release for it's excelllent speed.
The phone worked great for about 2-3 weeks before I started to get a problem with my backlight/screen.
If, for any reason, the screen goes into sleep mode or shuts off it WILL NOT COME BACK ON until I reset the phone. The screen dim function no longer works either, it's either 100% brightness or it's completely off. I re-flashed to many different ROMs (including Verizon stock and the Bare Naked ROM), ran task29, reset storage, and anything else I could think to wipe the memory and the problem continues to occur.
Needless to say this is very annoying. I've been working around it for now by turning off ALL POWER saving options and attempting to keep the screen on at all times, but it will still turn off if I place my head on it during phone calls or accidentally press the backlight button on the top.
Anyone have any clue how to fix this? I love this phone and really don't want to have to buy a new one because of this
Has anyone else run into this problem???
well mine sometimes does this... however tis like if i try messing with it when its booting up... if i leave it for the 5-10 mins it sometimes takes to fullly wake up then its fine.
I always allow it to fully boot before using it. It wake up again no matter how long I wait.
Anyone have any ideas?
Hi
Having just joined the Touch Pro 2 club from the Touch Diamond 2 and creating a custom ROM, the only thing i can think of is this:
CDMA TP2's have a few things different in hardware to the GSM ones.. Perhaps there is a driver conflict now causing a SOD (Standby of Death)
Craig
I am having the same problme as the OP. I've had my Verizon TP2 for over 6 months without this problem, the last 2-3 months running a custom ROM. A few days ago the SOD started and I have not found a solution. I have cleaned it with Task29 and tried a number of ROMS (including going back to the "official" VZW MR1/WM6.1 release) with no luck. I'm now running Android in order to get through the day. I think the only solution is a hardware exchange with VZW (although it's not a hardware issue).

I've tried LUMOS, but no luck. WM can't control the brightness and neither can LUMOS. I'm starting to wonder if I've got a bad light sensor.

You've got the wrong backlight.dll driver. I had this while experimenting with Topaz drivers on my GSM Rhodium. I also got a Standby of Death (SOD) with the Topaz drivers.
Craig
I'm all up for trying a different driver, but I've hard reset a number of times and flashed back to carrier ROMS with no luck. Wouldn't that have put the correct driver back? I was also running a single custom ROM for months with no changes with the SOD started to happen. Howevere, if you could post the correct driver, I'd appreciate it.
Hi,
I am also getting this problem, mine is a GSM, original rom was from vodafone uk, 6.1. I am on my 3rd tp2 from vodafone after complaints of this problem and within a couple of months use i get the SOD.
Its not as bad as the OP but i normally get the SOD a number of times per week. I have tried my first custom rom a couple of days ago (deepshining x10.235xx, i love it) with the aim of solving this problem but since i have had SODs 3 or 4 times in the last two days.
I am wondering if its a memory/ram issue as my TP2 after boot up starts with about 60-65mb free ram and with a little use the best i can get with all programmes closed is only 45mb (after using clean ram).
i do not believe it is a hardware issue because i have had the same problem with 3 phones now.
any solutions please let me know.
@audiomixman - when you flash back to carrier, do u flash back to the shipped SPL, ie remove HardSPL? I'm unable to post the correct driver as i think it needs to be cooked into the rom. I also have the GSM ver.
@rob_cunningham - I wouldn't think its memory as i routinely get down to 22mb with opera and music n about a weeks use. I also would guess if you've HSPL'd it, that could be the issue.
I don't really think its a hardware issue, more driver / poss HSPL
@both - does it happen on a clean hard reset build with no other software installed?
Craig
Craig,
I haven't removed the HardSPL because all the notes on the relocker thread say to only do as a last resort before returning device for warranty purposes.
Without removing the HardSPL, I have reverted to my carrier's 6.1 and 6.5 ROM releases and still get the same result without any software reinstalled. Right now I'm back to booting up with MightROM but with nothing installed. Once booted into WM, I go to Android. At least with Android while the screen won't quite turn off (it goes to "black" but the backlight is still on), it will come out of standby.
If you search, you will find many casues of SOD, although essentially there are two primary causes:
-Bad light sensor (actually pretty common)
-Conflicting drivers / IRQ overlap
for many, unchecking the box that allows WM to automatically control your light settings does the trick, others that does nothing. If you have a a bad light sensor, this usually works.
If you have a driver issue or IRQ conflict, usually not and going to a new ROM can help, but not a cooked ROM, as there are so many variations of hardware/software combinations for the TP2 in various countries / carriers that only real solution is to get back to the original shipped state of the phone with the carriers ROM and experiement from there. Many of the add-ons, like photo software, games, utilities all have some code that uses the light sensor and screws up the IRQ settings.
For me, I had the problem with the original ATT ROM, but the recently released update with Sense 2.5 solved my problem.
Good luck, not an easy one to find a solution to.
Hmmm, in that case, i'm lost sorry.
As the previous post mentions, I don't use the automatic backlight (and never have) you could try disabling it and seeing what happens.
