I'm wondering if the Hermes (8525) has a deep sleep mode? Every night I plug in my 8525 to charge, and every morning I can't wake it up. I have to soft-reset with the stylus. If there is a deep sleep mode, is there a way to disable it? I like to do nightly backups and the backup software won't run if the phone won't wake up.
Thanks!
I have the same problem, but this is not always when I have it in standby for a long time. It's also some times when I don't turn the device off but let it go into standby itself.
I've had the same problem with not being able toi wake it up, but only when it's in standby during the day, never when it's plugged in.

I'm finding that my phone won't wake up if it's plugged in either... I always have to soft-reset it to get it back on. Sometimes it takes as little as five minutes to freeze up. If no one has any answers we should compare what software we're running on our phones and see if there's a common problem.
same here sometimes the phone just dosent want to wake up atleast the soft reset works
this is happening to me with the latest cingular rom the one dated 9-21
I'm having the same issues. Applications:
Spb pocket plus
Spb diary 2
Wisbar Advanced 2
I've tried disabling all three and it still ahppens after a hard reset with no software loaded. (Oh, this is an 8525 with the latest cingular rom)
Guys, please use search facility - advanced options if necessary. I think I've lost count of the number of times these issues have come up. A while back I tied together just a few of the solutions folk have discovered - so to save you the hassle here's the link:

maybe a better search engine will work. many times when i try to find something with the search i get a lot of topics wich have nothing to do with my search criteria.
but thanks for the info, tried it and now we'll wait if it will actualy help.

I do appreciate to some extent what you say about searches. A lot of people (not you perhaps) tend to overlook the "WIKI" that ties together a lot of the more proven stuff.
Hope things work out for you.

Thanks for the posts. I too have searched and have tried every solution offered here. None worked.
What I have running on the phone.
iLauncher
PocketBreeze
pocket weather (suspect this one is the reason but ran the phone for 3 days with it removed and no change.)
PhoneAlarm
Pocket Informant
Spb Finance
PiePlus
Eten phone dialer(suspected this one too so I hard reset left it off and still got the lockups)
Active sync.... Tried the changes listed here did not work.
So I took the high road and did a hard reset 2 days ago and installed nothing and did not sync with any computer. Over the 2 days the darn phone froze as many time as it did with all the above installed....
So that leaves me to speculate that the culprit is cingulars network upgrade. You see in addition to the freezing the phone randomly loses service and jumps back. That I believe is the problem. Cingular turns down sites and up sites for the rollout. Also I believe the phone has difficulty handing off to sites on standby on GSM. So either a 3g rollout will fix it or a solid radio rom, from the upgrade forumn none seem to be the silver bullet yet, are needed to fix the issue.
Thanks for letting me rant!
I had these same problems with my Tytn when I first bought it. These problems disappeared for me after I upgraded my ROM to my current configuration. (see below)
"the fake server trick" worked for me. It seems that I now have less problems with waking up. Thanks mikechannon for your comment. I did not made use of the WIKI, now I know it's there I can find a lot of solvements and tricks for most common problems. Thanks!

Yep WIKI is often overlooked - everyone should browse it.
Pleased that you have reduced the number of lock-ups

I had the same problem: my Hermes wouldn't wake up from standby in the morning.
And I have a solution that works perfectly well for me: I changed the settings so that on A/C my Hermes never goes into standby mode. It just turnes off the display backlight after three minutes, but keeps running all night. No adverse effects so far.
Oh, and it also helps to flash the latest ROM (see the Wiki)

I don't know much about anything but I noticed that I don't the sleep of death problem unless someone calls me when in standby mode. Most of the time everything is OK but a bout once a day here it comes. Now, I'm in Israel and the radio version seems to be ancient so it might not be the problem for everybody but who knows?
Ermmmm
My money is still on ActiveSync running as a schedule..... not likely to be Radio stack related I'm afraid.
are you using spb mobile shell??

I'm using SPB Mobile Shell. Mine randomly freezes and I get the SOD all the time. Think it's related?

yup.
upgrade to 1.5 - it's much more stable.
Personally, I think it's related to the battery. More specifically, how the battery charges.
If I perform a soft reset after charging the battery, I never get the 'sleep of death' problem and never have sudden battery drainoffs. If I don't do a soft reset after charging, within an hour I'll be unable to wake it up again. If I for some reason don't touch it for 8-9 hours, I can find the battery has drained.
The device is also a lot hotter after charging it. During the charging cycle the device doesn't get warm, only afterwards. This says to me that there's some problem where the device still thinks it is plugged in and ends up putting too much of a drain on the battery.
It's a good idea to perform a soft reset after every charge cycle. If you do this I think you'll see this problem disappear.
Interesting idea Doom Tints
This battery problem would explain some people's problems with leaving the phone charging overnight (i.e. halfway through the night the battery finishes charging and then the problem occurs), but other's observations (including mine) wouldn't fit this explanation.
SOD is happening across all ROMs, both WM5 and WM6 - but not predictably. The fake-server trick works for some people, but not for others. Some people say SPB software is the culprit, but there are plenty of people without SPB software who get SOD.
Could it perhaps be not the radio exactly, but the radio and how it works with the OS? For example, maybe people who flash to WM6 but leave an older radio version on their machine...?
Or could we perhaps be dealing with multiple problems that have the same symptom?
I'm not sure that you understood what I said judging by your response. It doesn't lock up WHILE charging, but sometime AFTER charging.
Just for giggles, try what I suggested -- perform a soft reset after the next time you charge it and report back the results.
I dont have the problem and this is what i have installed:
herm200(tytn)
all black versions and now majik.
radio 1.41(and had all the older versions since 1.27 - never froze).
i charge it over night and no freeze.
I used push mail and stopped(no change in freezes - none!)
once a day i SR to get leaked memory back.
spb shell 1.5
htc home plug
o2plus
sktools
resco file explorer(without the today plug)
spb time
all are working - had no freeze months.
Yes, but you are soft resetting every day.
I don't have any spb programs and in fact all I have is VC, PI and some medical programs. Don't have any battery issues and have not tweaked the phone at all - have all original ROM and radio. Left to charge for the night without any problem but then again nobody called me
I don't know
My Opinion
been running through threads all over, just found out that there is no solution, because when a program pushes the unit to wake up from standby it freezes, this program can be weather, alarm, mail, active sync, and even a CALL can cause this, so it's a permanent bug in wm6 and PPC :-(

Yes you were right;
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.
Hi
I'm currently having a problem with my S4 that is driving me mad.
Ever since I got the phone I've had a bit of a problem with the WiFi connection. I've flashed a few kernels and some seems to help the problem more than others but it's still there.
What happens is the phone connects to WiFi no problems. Then maybe after a few minutes of use the phone won't give me any data. If I search a Web page it just hangs and then says unable to display web page. I then have to knock the WiFi off and back and and it cures the problem temporarily.
Sometimes the WiFi connection can be fine and last a few hours without hanging. Other times it can last a few minutes. The WiFi icon always remains on the screen and the arrows act as if data is getting processed but nothing ever happens. The odd time it will also kick itself off the WiFi and reconnect.
It's driving me mad having to constantly knock it on and off. I'm missing WhatsApp messages for hours because of it also.
Is it a common problem? If not the phone
is still under warranty so I will have to send it back but then that's me phone less for god knows how long
Any help would be great.

if you are rooted, flash this http://www.adrive.com/public/8DJWtV/WifiFix.zip
its a fix that sorted out my wifi problems
I think you should revert back to the latest stock and reset your modem. There might be some fancy settings in your modem software that need to be turned off. I read that somewhere but can't remember which ones. Just search on here.:cyclops:
Hi guys, sorry I've just seen the replies and thank you for taking the time
I shall have a blast at both your solutions and report back.
Thank you again
Well I tried the WiFi fix but that hasn't cured my problem. Today I will flash to stock rom and then re-root and see if that makes a difference. If not its off for repair under warranty and the old Nokia 8210 will be coming out of retirement for a few days lol

May be a fix?
1) type *#0011#
2) press menu button and select wifi
3) turn off power saving mode
4) restart
Alternative

Hi jehbrian.
I've never heard of this fix but I'm willing to give it a go (whats the worst that can happen lol).
Done the above and indeed you get to a point where Wifi power saving mode is on. I've knocked it off and will see how I get on in the next couple of days. It does make sense that the power saving mode could be killing the Wifi every now and again.
Thanks for the tip and have a pleasant day :fingers-crossed:
I had tried that one. It spends about 10% more battery.

Does it?
Surely there must be something else that can compensate for this loss if it means the Wifi actually works. GPS? Bluetooth? Screen brightness?
My phone is on my dock so can't verify the loss of battery.

hello
i have note 4 n910c with 6.0.1
My screen doesn't automatically time out if I press the home button or the power button to turn on my screen. In order for the screen to turn off, I have to manually press the power button. Otherwise, the screen just stays on and drains my battery !!!!!
I should also note that if I receive notifications, my screen lights up and I have to either dismiss the notification or manually turn off the screen.
i downgraded to 5.1.1 it worked for few days then the same issue again
i formatted my device and flashed most recent stock rom 6.0.1 again few days and the same problem screen not turn off automatically
any solutions?
by the way when i use smart manger and end all RAM applications screen turn off work good immediately then after few minutes not turn off again
You can try widgetsoid app, that haves a big list of toggle widgets, and no lock screen is one of their widgets.

Hi. I have a weird problem. When anyone rings me on WhatsApp my phone screen doesn't wake up, it stays on the always on display with the WhatsApp symbol there, so i have to double tap display to wake the screen to see who is calling. I've never had this problem before on any phone and my last phone was the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
Also on my lock screen I'm just getting a symbol from whatever app messaged me and I then have to click the app symbol to see the message, whereas before it would have the header and part of the message written. I don't know what's happened. Hopefully someone can help me out? Thanks in advance.

Is it normal for the screen not to wake up when you get a WhatsApp call or video call? Is it a new feature to preserve battery or do I need to factory reset my phone? I've uninstalled it then reinstalled it and still the same. Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks

My aod is set to continuous. When I get a WhatsApp call or WhatsApp videocall my screen does not wake up it just stays on the aod screen and I have to press the power button to wake the screen to see who is calling and to answer. Whereas if I get a normal voice call the screen wakes up automatically which is normal.
My issue is WhatsApp is not waking my screen.

I'm actually having the same problem too.
Another issue I also noticed is when I have WhatsApp calls, the phone does not go into deep sleep after (it's documented in other threads related to deep sleep).
I raised this issue to Samsung support, but no reply so far. I'm not expecting any tbh. I hope a firmware or Whatsapp update fixes these issues.

Oh, so WhatsApp is not waking up your screen either? And yeh I noticed my battery was draining really hard and followed that other thread about it. So i rebooted and its fine atm. Luckily I don't get alot of calls over WhatsApp.

Yep, a reboot fixes the drain issue, my battery standby goes from below average to pretty decent after the reboot. I think more and more are noticing this issue as we're monitoring deep sleep problems.
I wonder if more have call not lighting up the screen issue. I noticed edge lighting not working for a lot on whatsapp, so could be related.
Having the same issue of WhatsApp call not waking up
Hello good folk.
WhatsApp calling is not waking up my screen with AOD on and when my phone is locked.
As soon as I take it off, however, the WhatsApp call wakes up my screen as per normal. This never happened before my last update. Even with AOD enabled, the calls would wake up the screen.
I went from nougat to oreo and then I did another auto update after that nougat to oreo update. When this update occurred, I started to notice the issue.
Hope something gets figured out.
