Sleep mode problem!

hi
I recently got a P3300 & it has windows mobile 6 professional on it. The problem that I'm facing is that when I press the power button once to put phone in sleep mode, & if the phone stays that way for sometime(2-3 hours, not definite, sometimes even 1 hour) & then when I press the button again to bring it back from sleep mode, it doesn't come back, the screen remains blank. This problem is not persistent, it just comes unexpectedly now & then. The GMS signal LED continues to blink meaning that the phone is ON but remains in sleep mode. I then have to take the battery out to reboot it.
At night when I go to sleep, I put the phone to sleep mode as well & it comes back in 1 press of button in morning, its just something wierd that the problem occurs without any regularity.
I called HTC customer care & the guy there suggested that I format the phone once & this problem should be solved then. The method he suggested was to click on "clear storage" option in the settings. Should I go ahead & do it? I dont mind doing it if it solves the problem, just dont want the unnecessary hassle if this is not gonna solve the problem since I'll have to customise settings & install software etc all over again.
Or should I claim warranty on the handset? Its not even 1 month old.
Please advise, this is my first windows mobile device so I dont have any experience with these before.

strange
Well i have not heard of this problem before
ur phone only able to sleep properly in the night..
Well if it is less than one month old then the best thing is to claim the warranty.
And I am not sure about this but clear storage might erase your complete data..
Better take a backup before you try that

Earlier it was not sleeping at night as well, but last week it started doing it, somehow, I dunno how that happened!

Yeah ofcourse I'll take backup. I've backed up all of my card, before doing the format I'll backup my messages etc via a free PIM software that I came across earlier.

I remember i had a similar problem time ago with my S200. Some program that i installed messed with my backlight configuration and just turned the backlight off when i tried to wake up the phone...just my two cents

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=2where 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.

Actually my problem got solved with a hard reset. I had called HTC customer care & the guy told me that I should do a hard reset & that will cure the problem & it indeed fixed it.

Well I guess you only had it because of a software problem, likewise I only had it because of a sim/radio/network problem and it didn't go away with a hard reset. The only thing that did resolve it was to change the phone band settings as above. As I pointed out above the best way to rule out a software cause is to do a hard reset.

i also have the same problem..i think its about vibration or something like that coz at night u just put ur pda static but if u bring ur pda in ur pocket n walkin then the problem come when u turn the button again 2 on the pda..so anyone have some more idea..anytime i must remove n put back my battery to make my pda on..please help me..can email me [email protected]

Soft reset in htc desire

Hello, someone can tell me how to do a soft reset to htc desire, there is some key combination or there is some software to do it?.
Thanks

keep the power button pressed for a longer time. a menu will be shown. select power down (phone will now shut down), press power button again. et voila! you have 'rebooted' your phone!

thank you very much but I do not work or do not

Any apps to do this ?

Uuhh.. What?

So is it at all possible to have an app that reboots the handset essentially?

There was an app on the market called quick boot I think, never used it myself but you could try that, although it may need root and the desire will probably be too new to work with it, so maybe one to keep an eye on.

Sorry for such a noob question, but the reply above, is that not simply turning the device.off and on again as opposed to rebooting, or carrying out a soft reset? Coming from an iPhone and wm before that, i was led to believe there was a difference. Removing the battery with the device on was a soft reset, rebooting the iPhone was also slightly different from turning it off and on again. ?
I would also like to know if we could do a soft reset without having to take back cover off and remove battery?
Thanks

I have to take back cover of my Desire to reset it. Turning off doesn't work in my case. Simply - last time I was waiting 15 minutes and it still displaying 'shutting down'. I can't shutdown my phone.

Hi, I guess you want to reset HTC Desire without taking it a part.
Check this video on youtube on how to do it.

I think you didn't catch what we are talkin about. Soft reset doesn't meen we would like to erase all data and revert back to factory settings.
My phone is not able to shut down even after one hour after pressing: power botton for a moment -> power off. Any clues?

Strange indeed soft reset works here fine but used it only a few times
Maybe a hard reset forces to reinstall the o/s correct and solves you're problem because it should work via the power button...
Do you get the pop-up menu with the different choices?

what the hell are you people talking about?
a soft reset is a way to restart the phone using an option in the phone, perhaps an app
so when there's the option to POWER OFF the phone, there is the option to RESTART the phone

I got the popup menu when I press power button for a while but when I press first option to shut down the phone - it does not shut down. Shuting down message displays for ages and nothing happens.

Sorry, I think I got it wrong. D-fens - what you have done is fine, taking out the battery, judging by htc website
htc.com/europe/howto.aspx?id=721&type=1&p_id=312
but I don't know why wouldn't it shut down with power button, it works fine with my.

I think I know what your trying to get at, the problem is in your phone, unmount your SD card, I suspect its faulty. This will I suspect work. Try it and tell us how you get on. I'm assuming switching the phone off and on again is the same as rebooting or soft reset on Android.

Lol mega fail answers. I think currently there is no way to soft reset your phone without going the long way of turning it off and turning it on again. Quite annoying I know, but you should not have to soft reset your phone much at all, if you do then there is a prob with software etc. I have only soft reset my phone maybe 2-3 times in the few weeks I have had it for.
But again I believe the question is:
Is there an app or some special way to soft reset the desire, without removing battery or without pressing and holding power button and selecting turn off, as both these methods simply turn the device off and are not actually resetting the device...

Use quickboot or root boot. I personally use root boot. Works fine.

[Q] How to get files off GN that doesn't boot?

Hi,
I went to reset my GN last night and then it started going in a boot cycle. It displays the Google logo and then keeps doing this in a continuous cycle without reaching the flashing colours.
I haven't rooted my phone and it's running stock 4.0.2 via OTA update.
I am yet to factory reset and I will be doing this soon, however my main concern at the moment is that I have photos/videos from my holiday on my phone which I really want to keep hold of.
Is there any way I can get my GN to go into USB Storage mode without it actually being on? Preferably without rooting or flashing roms.
Any help will be of great assistance!

Think you might be out of luck. Try pulling the battery and trying to reboot again

That was the first thing I tried. I even left my battery out over night. At times like this I wish the GN had an SD slot.

Anyone else?

How are you going to factory reset if it doesn't turn on and you aren't rooted? I know if you factory reset in CWM it won't remove your virtual SD

Good point... forgot coming from a rooted phone lol. I can still access other modes by using the volume rocker and power button.
Considering sending it back. Not sure if I want to root it and mess around with it atm. I know you can bring it back to stock but I'd rather not risk it. Just my luck.

Actually there is one way. Get into recovery with the android with the red exclamation mark. Press and hold the power button first and then press up on the volume rocker.

[Q] Recent app screen keeps coming up?

Hey guys! I recently updated my phone to 4.1.2 and noticed almost every time I go to use my phone and hit either the power button or the home button the recent app screen pops up instantly as if you were to hold the home button down. So far I tried a soft reset a factory reset with no luck. The phone worked perfectly before the update so I know it isn't either of the buttons sticking. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate your help, I'm at the point where I'm pulling my hair out haha
Thanks!!

Did you do the OTA (over the air) update Sprint pushed out, are you on a custom rom, or are you using a non stock launcher? Give us some details and someone, if not me, will help you out.
Also try rebooting. Some users in the past have reported that trying to activate recent apps properly (by holding the home) stopped working and a simply powering the device off then turning it back on fixed the issue. This may solve your issue too.
I see this is your first post, are you familiar with rooting and custom roms? Just curious so we know how to get you through this.

Thanks for helping. I did the ota update that sprint pushed out. The phone is completely stock nothing on it is modified at all. I already tried rebooting multiple times and tried a battery pull also. I am new to rooting and custom roms. Everything else on the phone is working fine but the recent app screen will come up as soon as I turn the screen on. It wont come up if I turn the screen on hit home to go to home screen turn screen off using power button and turn the screen back on quickly, it has to sit for 30sec to 1min for it to start doing it again.
Thanks!!

Anybody got any ideas?

Sorry for the late reply, I work a night shift.
Are you waking the screen up with the home button or the power button. The reason I am asking is because the only way I can make this same situation occur is with no lock screen set, I wake up the phone with the home screen button.
Try setting up a lock screen and see if it fixes the problem.
If it does not fix the problem then I recomend taking the phone back to Sprint to see if they will swap the device since you are not rooted.

If you have a custom recovery installed try rebooting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache then go to advanced and fix permissions, if you only have stock recovery try wiping cache from it. To boot to recovery, power off phone, hold volume up and home then power, let go of the 3 keys when the note 2 splash screen pops up. If that doesn't alleviate the issue it may be a setting with the home key presses, for instance you can change what it does with longpress and double tap, may have gotten the svoice and recent apps mixed up. Try double tapping home and see if svoice comes up or recent apps, also longpress to see which comes up.

This is deff recent update caused i believe. I also have a non rooted sprint device that I just updated, and its doing the exact same thing. Annoying as hell. My device is less then a month old. To explain more on what happens, I have my screen timeout set for 2 mins, lock at 5 mins. Use phone, put it down, wait for screen to time out, pick it up and hit him key once and it brings up the task manager. Not a long press, just a fast press.

I tried to clear the cache with no luck..
I guess that makes two of us for this problem.
I have noticed sometimes when I go to use the phone there will be a blue box around one of the apps. Not sure if its the last app I used but it has been doing this since before the update.

I cant replicate the issue to save my life. When you guys updated something must have gotten confused in the process. May need to download a stock restore of ma7 and start fresh. That would be what I would do if nothing else fixes it. It will erase all you apps and settings and internal storage so back em up. Back up internal to PC
I like to break stuff!

Ok ill be more than happy to try that.. what exactly is ma7 and where can I dl it. Is there anything special I need to know or do to complete the process? I already cleared my my contacts.. google said they were uploaded but apparently not.
Thanks again for the help!!

MA7 is the latest OTA 4.1.2 which would be the update you took prior to this recent apps incident. Look in development for a thread by garwynn it'll have the links to the Odin one-click packages and since you already took OTA you won't need the modem. Just follow the directions in his thread. Before doing it if you have anything stored to your internal storage you want to save back it up to your PC via USB. You'll want to grab the full restore one click so it wipes everything and starts fresh.

Same issue, called Sprint
I spoke with sprint about this today, very frustrating. I learned:
Not all note users are having this problem
they did a reactivation, prl update, firmware check, profile (?) update.
That didn't do anything, so the recommended a hard reset, that's when I flipped out.
They said I may be able to sent me a new phone if the hard reset doesn't help, but would need to pay a $49 exchange fee... then i flipped out more.
possible reasons: I really don't know, here is what i have:
Go Launcher
SD card, inserted a couple weeks after activation
I use Home2 to modify my home button double tap action
Not rooted or anything.

I'm still having the same issue with recent apps popping up upon awake, non rooted sprint, happened after recent OTA update, and have no apps in common with above poster. I have not done a reset yet as it hasn't bothered to that extent yet, and once I get ready to root and really tear into things, ill work it out then I suppose.

I'm having the same issue after updating to MA7. Im rooted, cleared both caches and still going on. When I wake the phone with the home button it wakes up and shows the recent apps, when I close that it take me to my lock screen (wigetlocker)
Edit: Fixing permissions just fixed it for me and also clearing the caches again.
Double Edit: Started doing it again. -___-

HTC 10 performance issues

Hi everyone, I am having few issues with my HTC 10. I bought this from HTC pre-order it from them. It was working fine for 2 weeks but now its just getting to be a pain for the past 2 weeks. I dont have a lot of third part apps installed on the phone hard 4-5 and are basic apps. Other than that I my usage is normal. I have checked everything and there is nothing that is spiking the processor or memory.
1: The phone lags a lot while scrolling or opening the main apps. I will press somewhere and it literally takes 2 seconds for it to open or execute it.
2: I am a normal user and only use the data services when needed. The screen brightness is between 40-50 % but battery does not even last a day. Again I have nothing on my phone that would be using a lot of battery.
3: My phone forget to connect to saved network using Wi-fi I mostly have to manually go to setting and chose the device to connect to it.
Using the power saving mode is the same and at times is even worse. The performance is just pissing me on this phone.
Any one with any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

I did the factory reset and still the wi-fi issue. I will test it out for few days and see if the remaining two issues return.

that wifi issue happens only on your home wifi or other wifi to ? Seems your home router configurations, try on another networks.

It was on my home network. Its been better now but I was having an issue with mobile data too. If I turned it off and then tried to turn mobile data on again it won't turn on. I would have to choose airplane mode and then turn that off and then turn on data to make it work.
The issue stopped after the factory reset. But I had that again. Originally the issues started after two weeks of use. Still have few days to go and hoping that it works fine, cause if does not that's going to piss me a lot as I don't have anything on my phone that should give me performance issues.
I had M8 before this and I loved that phone, in fact I love HTC in general it's just the thing about this amount of money+such hardware specs= awesome performance.

you on factory rom right or any custom rom ? if it's factory rom and if you are still experiencing all that issues after a factory reset, well or you doing something wrong or you need to return your phone because it's not right.
