Stock ROM or custom? Any overclocking?
The phone powers up if you soft reset, correct?

Well, I found out it was a small problem with the rom.
It was a custom rom, and I just installed a different one and it works flawlessly.
With the other one, the light sensor did not work either.
Also, I dropped my phone the other day, and a really small spring fell out.
And the back plain on my screen is loose and opens up easily..

Which ROM?

I hate to hijack this thread but i am having the exact same problem. Basically when i put my phone to sleep its hit or mess as to if it will wake. It seems to have started when i flashed Energy ROM. It was terrible after that, so I switched back to the stock ROM available from the HTC website and all seemed well at first. Now its back to hit or miss.
I cant really rule out a hardware issue such as a broken sensor or something because I'm not sure how the mechanics of it work. When i push the power button on top the phone wakes but not the screen I know this because the 4 lights on the bottom light up and the keyboard as well. I can hit the button repeatedly but it doesnt help. At other times it works flawlessly, but usually does not.
Can anyone give me a suggestion as to what it could be, or a way to rule out a hardware issue?

Exactly my problem!
It was perfectly fine for the first day or so before it started crapping out again..
Can someone please help us with this problem?
It's mind consuming and it's making me worry.
Until TP3 is out, I won't get a new phone ):

Well, the problem is discussed in great detail on the internet, but no one can give a definitive answer. ..
I've been a touch pro 2 user for exactly 3 days... My new HD2 from T-Mobile is in the mail... This is a un acceptable flaw with no real solutiion... Good Luck TP2 users....

Good luck to you.
I've had mine for over two years and it was flawless
Just one recent drop determined everything
Although I Must say, it was one hell of a durable phone

Yea, dont get me wrong. I really like the phone. Thats why I'm getting the HD2. Great OS and big beautiful screen. I'm gonna miss the slide out keyboard but I think thats what breaks these phones.
I'm excited that there's the possibility of running Windows Mobile 7 on it.

I'd like to try to help. But you never answered my question of what ROM you are on (and which one you tried previously).

I've determined my problem is 100% hardware related. If I open my keyboard and then grab the screen and tweak it while pressing the power button it comes onn 100% of the time. Sux, but at least I know the cause now

Every once in a while my phone would turn on and I wouldn't know why
But yeah, I think it is hardware related.
I previously used Energy then went to Jacko's.
Both were perfectly fine, just the upsetting sleep function and light sensor would keep the phone off.

HELP: Same problem Phone not waking up
Hi saw this thread and was wondering if anyone can help me.
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 for some month now...
Using the following details:
OS Version: 5.2.21887 (21887.5.0.86)
ROM Version: 2.07..401.1 (80303) WWE
ROM date: 02/04/10
Radio ver: 4.49.25.91
stock ROM basically...
THe issue is that the phone doesn't wake or when using it just freezes/hangs.
Not much software/apps installed... and memory is good as well.
I just don't know what's going on...
Help please.
Thanks

I'd agree with the notion that its likely hardware related. I've flashed maybe 10 different builds of Energy over the last 7 months or so, and never once had and issue with the SOD (sleep of death) that I can recall. A bad flash can sometimes happen. But since you flashed another reputable ROM (Jackos), that somewhat eliminates the possibility that a bad flash is the culprit.
You can start from scratch, by running Task29 to format the ROM area of the phone's memory, and reflash the ROM. But this would be just to eliminate the possibility of a bad ROM flash. My gut says that you won't see any different results.
Running the phone "clean" for a while (to see if you still have the SOD) without any software installed or any other modifications will eliminate the possibility that any software or mods are responsible for the issue.

are you sure its hardware related? because my phone started doing this yesterday too...I had an energy rom from october, and it was really buggy. I am only able to keep my phone from sleeping when it is plugged in to some power, so i flashed the newest energy rom and still having the same problem...wont wake up from sleep
EDIT:
I dont see how this can be hardware related because everytime i soft-reset, the screen works again. this problem only happens when the device goes to sleep...

Any overclocking?
As I already mentioned, I never had any SODs on Energy that I can recall, except when using OCT (OverClocking Tool).

I have done no overclocking...I just flashed the newest energy rom like 15min ago...is there anything else I can do or check? it looks like the phone works still, just no backlight...

After flashing the ROM, maybe try running it "clean" for a day or two, don't install any software or do any mods, reg edits, etc. If you still have problems with the phone waking up with a new ROM, and no other software or other mods, than it may indicate a hardware problem.
And be sure to run Task29 before you flash the new ROM, if you don't already do that.

You guys should read the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648134
You're not the only ones (by any means) with the SOD issue. But it isn't at all clear what causes the issue. Lots of different theories in that thread about various software or ROMs, with no clear solution.
Lots of conflicting info, but some comments on the thread suggest (as I mentioned) that Task29 may help (certainly can't hurt).

Nope, definitely not sure, especially after reading the thread linked above. But as I suggested before, Task 29, try a different ROM, and run it clean with no software or mods, and start eliminating the variables.

[Q] Touchscreen stops working

Hi,
sometimes the touchscreen of my defy stops working (but the phone is not frozen)
and the only way to fix it is to lock/unlock the screen...
does anyone have the same problem (and can help me)?
thanks
P.S
i've had the problem both with stock rom (2.2) and with cyanogenmod rc 1.5

When this happens, do the 4 buttons below your display still give you haptic feedback (little vibration) or do they react not at all?
Also, does this only happen when there's the normal launcher/standby screen active or when there's an other app active too ?
Did you undervolt ?
Edit: Also, this seems to be a hardware problem which seems to be well known in a certain German android forum but I cannot find much about it in here. In short, the digitizer unit seems to be broken for some people and locking/unlocking helps because it disconnects and connects power for the digitizer. The people there fixed the problem by replacing the digitizer (which isn't easy at all!).
It would be nice to have someone from XDA who had this problem before too, to confirm this problem!

First of all, thank you for the answer
When I have the problem, 4 buttons stop working too.
It usually happens after a period of stand-by, i don't undervolt or have some other application running than the launcher (ADWlauncher).
I bought the phone one week ago, if it is an HW problem, i can't repair it by myself...

I'd recommend to wait and see whether xda has other suggestions for you and if not, just check the Motorola hotline and ask whether they know something and if they do change it for free.
Also, what you describe fits perfectly to what I've read elsewhere (don't know whether I'm allowed to post a link here or if it were useful at all because it is in German). So it sounds like your digitizer could really be defect.

ok, even if i hope to solve the problem by myself...

News: They've changed the touch screen, but the problem is still present...
Can it be a sw problem??

Keep sending it back, they will replace it in the end.

Sleep Of Death (SOD)

my HTC desire has suffered the worst SOD case in the past few days.
This morning I tried all possible troubleshooting and to my surprise after 3 days its working normal again.
I'm still unsure of what the issue was. Anybody else dealing with this?

It will most likely remain that way until you at least provide which rom and kernel you use.

Do you just wanna know who else is dealing with the same issue or expect to find a solution? You aint gonna get any solution if you don't even provide readers with your device info. Is it rooted? Is it on stock? Is it running sense? Is it running AOSP? Is it running those beta roms? Is it on froyo? Is it on gingerbread? Is it overclocked? Is it undervolted? Does if have an ext partition? etc etc yada yada yada,

Best way I've found to recover quickly from a sleep of death is to take out the battery and plug it into a charger. Wait a few seconds and you should see the LED indicator flash from orange to green. You can now out the battery back in a power up normally.
I've only had this issue with sandvolds ics. But I haven't tried the latest

my phone is rooted n s-off too.
SOD started when i was on sandvold's ics. So i did the most sensible thing, switched back to android 2.3.
I'm currently on GB from Cool Droid v3|2.3.4|. The problem with SOD followed me on this rom as well but i seemed to have solved it for now, thanks to all the troubleshooting methods in the forum. I'm really happy to see it working normal again.

The reasons for the problem can be countless. I guess my SD card was the culprit this time. previously, I had partitioned the card using gparted but on 4ext touch recovery the card's partition alignment check said I have some alignment issues with my fat32 partition.
I repartitioned the SD card, now I have 1gb ext4 partition n around 14gb of fat32, perfectly aligned.
I thought I had solved the problem.
Then I came across someone saying that it could be the radio too. I am using the latest version of radio for some time now but I decided to switch to some previous versions and see if that helps. Installation got aborted, may be because I wasn't connected to the pc. But this time when I booted up my phone, no more SOD so far.
I would like to add that I probably just got lucky. I'm using a fake Chinese battery on this phone. Lost the original one as it got drenched in the rain.
Please share if anyone else is dealing with this issue too. Would be glad to help you guys out.

Also I'm not overclocking or underclocking the processor. Not using gps. it is also recommended to stay on 'gsm only' or 'cdma only' mode. So basically I tried all the troubleshooting options out there.

Help? Wifi issue :(

Hi.
For about two weeks ago my Wi-Fi signal and radio signal drop a lot. I don't know what caused it, it had been laying over the night and when I turmed the Wi-Fi on, the signal was terrible. Going from 2-3 bars to almost not conecting at all at the same spot. I am quite sure it is not the antenna hardware fault. In my opinion I have pressed the area I am described to press pretty hard. I have an unlocked bootloader.
I don't think it is any software related thing I have done because it was several days since I had flashed anything or installed any mod. I have removed some of the things I considerd unnecessary, such as live walpapers. As far as I know I haven't removed any important parts. After that I installed a stock ARHD 9.3.2 to check if that could help, after that I checked with several AOSP roms. Nothing worked as far as I know.
At that point I used ARHD 9.1.0
-I might have installed faux06b mainline (repacked)
-I had installed:
APM
EQM
Faster gps fix
supercharger
soundrecorder txt mod
Hope any of you bright heads can help me. In advance thanks.

By pressing you made it worse unfortunately.
Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538
Extensive thread about your issue and what to do in detail explained :good:

Well, the problem is that the signal was bad before I pressed to check if i had the hardeware fault. When the pressing didn't work, well as you said I guess it didn't help. If thwt would have been the problem it would be easier.

For the love of god/drugs/beer/etc. put a more descriptive title. Forum etiquette.
And yes by pressing you might have created the problem if it didn't exist. In my opinion, that whole pressing the antenna scene should be removed from that WiFi defect thread. I've messed up mine for the same reason, I tried checking for a problem that didn't exist and end up bending the antenna pins.
Sometimes people get weak wifi because of a weird flash of rom or kernel. I remember seeing posts in a JB rom thread where people were experiencing weak wifi, but you've knocked that off anyway since you tried different roms. I suggest relocking and giving it to HTC Service Center. Wait for more 'bright heads' to post though . Good Luck.

As I have tried to say, I had the problem before I pressed. But I installed AOSP to check if it made a difference. But thank you for the tip.

4.2.2: Bluetooth won't turn on

OK, I have Odin'ed twice, and wiped the poor little phone so many times I'm gonna need to use Desitin. It does not matter, I have pretty much tried every 4.2.2 ROM out there, and although I have had one or two that I could initially get bluetooth to turn on, even those would fail to do so after a few hours. I've tried rebooting with it on, rebooting with it off, does not matter. The last few AOKP and CM nightlies as well as Jedi, it will not even turn on. I have seen a few folks state somewhat similar issues, but I am getting that it is not pervasive for the community. Does anybody have any ideas as to a fix, or, even any ideas as to what causes it, so maybe I can play around with whatever and try myself? Or, best case-scenario, did anybody have the issue on ROM ABC and discover that by switching to ROM XYZ it was fixed? I'm not updating my sig because it changes multiple times a day anyway, but I am back to CWM 6.0.2.7 from TWRP if that variable matters at all. Same situation whether on stock, Cerux or ASD kernel.TIA...

I works on the 2/26/13 Nightly of CM10.1. You wanna try and clean flash it? If it doesn't work then it's just a problem with your phone hardware instead of the software. Might be a buddy bluetooth adapter or such.

Fingers crossed, so far so good. I reinstalled Rootbox which is awesome. I changed from CWM back to TWRP and also installed Cerux 1.42 which in the thread made mention of the bluetooth issue being fixed, and being kernel, not ROM related. I am using crossbreeder which makes things crazy fast. I saw the "nos script" in some thread but couldn't find it with a Google search. Do you have a link for it and what exactly does it do?
Edit: Crap. it went away. Oh well, back to 4.1. Hellybean it is. I just don't get it. BT works fine on any 4.1 or ICS ROM. Only thing with 4.1 is music skips in my music player but I can live with that, I can't live with no BT. Thanks for your help. Maybe when source drops it will be all good.

Does ithe bt button turn on then instantly off when you press it? This happened to me and i went into recovery and wipe dalv n cache.. Worked perfectly after
Or i saw this post. Not sure if itll help

Well, what seems to happen is it is fine for 15-30 minutes after I've freshly installed the ROM, then it just turns off. When I then try to turn it back on it hangs at "turning on" and then goes back to off. At that point when I click "turn on", it doesn't even move. I'm a gonna try the fix, nothing to lose at this point...
Nuts. It fast moves to on and immediately goes back to off. White flag, thanks to all.

Apply the fix and delete all you devices then try turning it on and off with nothing on it...if it works then add devices one by one...if you have devices married to it the patch might not work also I think my computer dongle was the culprit

I found one thing that at least gets it working again without rebooting is to activate airplane mode. Its faster than rebooting. Wish I had a better answer...
