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.
First of all, a battery pull fixes the issue
What i am trying to figure out if what causes the bug and whether other people are having the same issue
As you can see from both images, there is no cell signal but WIFI is on but somehow the phone thinks airplane mode has been turned on
This is the 3rd time is past few days and i have missed loads of calls as a result.
From what i can see from my apps, there is nothing that should be causing the issue.
Also, there doesn't seem to a root cause, It has happened while i was charging the phone and while the phone had been on constant use
Any ideas?

I'm usually in low signal areas and when I move into an area where I know there is signal, it sometimes takes the device 30-60 seconds to recognize there is a signal.
This makes me think the radio polling interval is set fairly slow, perhaps in an attempt to save battery life.
I've used the airplane mode to toggle the radio and "wake it up" quicker than waiting the 60 seconds for the radio/phone to recognize the signal.
By any chance, are you in or around a low signal area when this occurs? I wonder if our two experiences might be related.
Just a thought. Have you flashed a different radio at all? Maybe its crashing?
Not that this helps you, but the one thing I noticed from your pics is they spelled "aeroplane mode" wrong... lol
Why is your Android Build #?
I had this happen once before, but it was before I upgraded.. so not sure if that is related or was just a coincidence that it has worked fine the times I used it after updating.

Not 100% sure but this happens a lot while i am at home and the signal ain't too great. You might have a point though.
I just don't know why it won't let me switch bad.

This happens on my Galaxy Nexus too. I can leave the phone somewhere with a very good 3G signal and come back to find no signal and that I'm unable to toggle the radio on or off. Restarting fixes the problem.

Diddo as I also encounter this issue
Do you have any apps with a radio related option/requerments ?
that might be the problem.
did any of you guy's try factory reset?
and on what firmware are you guy's?
Google or samsung?

I have had a similar issue, except that I am able to enable connection again by selecting to turn airplane mode off. I sometimes have to do this 2 times, but the phone does not freeze during this process. I have not been able to determine a cause as it happens in use and idle. This happened using stock 2.3.4 Samsung ROM (with being rooted) and with a recent flash to VillainROM 2.5. Through that I would assume it is deeply embedded bug that is being carried over with ROM's or, perhaps more likely, one of the apps I got is causing this.

well, my nexus experience just keeps getting weirder. the phone just restarted itself and hasn't gone past the google logo. it restarts (hear it vibrate) at that point and wont go past that screen. no idea what could have caused it as phone was right next to me and i wasn't using it
past the point of caring to be honest. i will try a factory reset when i get home tonight
I haven't had this issue since I flashed a new build of the stock rom, here:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/349407-odin-firmware-i9250xwkk9-itl41f-newest-build/
I've been using it for the past 8 hours and have had a consistent 4-5 bars. It's supposed to be a later build of the ITL41F firmware.
Unforturnately, it's got compatibility issues with most of the mods. If you flash mods on top of this, you'll lose the the status bar and the 3 buttons.
Will continue to monitor and update.
I can confirm that the problem happens to me on a completely stock phone - no apps installed (just the ones included with the system), no root, no tampering whatsoever. It has to be a Android 4.0 and/or SGN problem.
Here another victim of the sudden loss of signal. Toggling airplane mode on and off does solve the problem, but what worries me is that I am incommunicado in the period just prior to the moment I discover that the signal is lost.

I have this issue as well. Toggling airplane mode does not work for me.
similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20816554
I also recently encountered this issue. My phone was working fine while rooted and bootloader unlocked until today. Usually when I wake up, I check my email and I'm usually on 3G because I don't get 4G at home. Gmail had not refreshed, couldn't get on browser, had to reboot. I left my phone alone for about two hours or so, turned it on to check email and again, no signal in a place I typically get 4G. Had to reboot again to get signal. It doesn't look like my phone is going into airplane mode like some people are reporting as I don't see an airplane icon or notification.
I have not tried toggling airplane mode yet to get signal back. My phone does not run custom roms or themes, only has some root apps. I have the Verizon version.

It doesn't have anything to do with rebooting, I just checked it, it's been on since yesterday and I rebooted this morning and it's still on.
I'll be going through the day, and then I'll go to scan something and I'll find out the hard way it's turned off. It's a pain to have to go into settings and turn it back on.
Looks like S-Beam might be turning itself off, too. I don't ever use that but it's off right now and I know I had it enabled at one point.

I know it turns itself off on my S 3 after there has been no activity for a while and it may also on the Note 2.
That's really frustrating, the thing I like about nfc is it's quick and easy. Is there any way to tell it to knock that off?

This is something I'm seeing too. It's annoying but easy enough to turn back on.
I'll look into tasker or something like that. If anyone finds a better way to keep this from happening, I'd love to hear it!

Mine does same, randomly turns off NFC & S-Beam.

Did anyone find anything?! Solutions, ideas?! Hacks?! Nothing since mid-November?!? What the hell?!??
I've had the problem on the official TMO rom also. I've solved my problem by flashing the stock 7105 4.1.2 image on top (which also comes with some additional features such as NFC notification toggle). I used the stock image created by teshxx.

Seriously? There is no way to fix this annoyance outside of flashing to a specific rom image?

My wife has a Galaxy S3 and she DOES NOT seem to experience this annoyance. I have the Galaxy Note 2 and I am CONSTANTLY having to turn my S-Beam and NFC back on.
Has anyone figured out what exactly causes the auto-off of these features? My random guess, using the test case of my phone and my wife's, is that it has to do with turning your wifi on and off. I am constantly turning my wifi on and/or off depending if I'm in a known wifi area. My wife never touches the wifi setting, just always leaves it on.
Anyway, hope to hear from someone soon with a solution to this annoying little glitch in the use-case of these great features.
Jz.
NFC turning off randomly...
Having the same issue as well, using the stock ROM, rooted, I'd rather not have to flash another rom to my device, as everything else appears to be working just fine for me.
At any rate, I home someone can find some kind of info here...

It is most likely a bad kernel. Only time I experienced this. What Rom and kernel do you use?

Are you over clocked/under volted? Are you on a stock rom? That could be a sign of a slightly to high of an overclock/low under volt.

He also has the same idea as me. Mostly due to a bad overclock kernel. Or wrong build kernel used.

Try using Odin to go back to stock. I recommend GB27. See if the issue still occurs, and be mindful of what apps you install. The issue may be an app that you install instead of the OS itself.

I know this is not going to make you feel any better, but I get the random reboots as well with my phone when I use AOSP roms. some people dont have any issues when they flash custom ROMs, some do. It is just the way the E4GT is.
For example, with most ROMS, my GPS works flawlessly even on ROMs that others have issues with. That is the price you pay when you mod your phone. What separates the old-timers from the newbies is that the more experienced know how to deal with those issues, and if they cant deal with them they move to another ROM.
IMO, the reason some phones have no issues and some do is the way we have to unlock the phone and flash ROMs. I see that in most phones, everything is about a one step process, our's is not and anytime you have extra steps involved, there is a chance something doesnt flash right - This is just my idea from my personal experience, I have no technical data to support this
What I have done to decrease the reboots is download Gravity Screen and Screen Off. I noticed that when I used the power button to turn the scree off, the power menu would come up. At this point, if I touched any thing or set it down, it would reboot 50% of the time. Now I dont have to touch any of the buttons to wake or make my screen go off. I had 1 reboot yesterday, a few on Saturday, and none today. See if that helps you any.
I have ATT S3 and the home screen jumps back and forth very fast, Also when I touch the screen and scroll down or to the side its like im still touch the screen and I can see the phone basically touching itself. I have went through many threads about the same problem but never an answer to correct other than turn off harware overlay and that doesnt help.

Its not a common issue so I dont believe your firmware would be the cause, unless something has been corrupted. Have you backed everything up? If so try factory resetting and maybe try flashing the stock rom from enewman17.

The symptoms you describe are those of a phone which has come in contact with water/moisture. There is no solution other than changing the LCD.
ok thanks
I have the same issue. Came to the same conclusion. However, the screen assembly moisture sensor is not tripped. Could just be a bad digitizer.
