XDA keep turning on every few minutes o_O - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Hi guys,
My XDA keeps turning it's self on every 5 minutes or so. Even though there are no calls / SMS or events that I can see on the screen.
I've had to turn the backlight off, or it'll turn on in my pocket, and the battery will die within a few hours.
This happens even when I "Stop all" programs from running.
Any ideas?
4.01.00
Radio: 4.01

im with the same s/w version mine doesnt seem to do it that much only at night time it will just light up and light my room up making me wake up...
it doesnt do it all the while just every now and then..
lights up light goes off after 1 min then phone turns off after 5 min....
doesnt bother me much better version rom then hte others imo

Does it do the same after a soft reset ?

this is the "ghost in the machine"...there is no known way to get rid of it yet, I tried everything other ppl have sed to have worked, but mine still "wakes up"

If you have a German ROM, I would say that it is the HomeZone indicator. The device switches itself on with each BTS change.

Since there is still no official WM2003 release from O2 Germany there is no way to get the Homezone indicator running under that OS. The rilgsm.dll does not provide the appropriate information for HZ.exe to determine the current position (i.e. Gauss-Krüger coordinates of the current cell).
Perhaps other software is reacting to BTS changes? I'm running the 4.00.33 GER by T-Mobile, and this OS version doesn't behave that strangely.
Sometimes however there is a strange delay of a couple of seconds between pressing the power button and the device finally powering off. I've experienced that behaviour with all WM2003 OS versions I'v had installed so far (probably most of them currently around).

WM5 Alarm not wake up

Dear All,
I wanna have some quick facts: Who have WM5 alarm not wake up issue?
The issue is- when you have scheduled an alarm (e.g. a morning wakeup call) and then suspend your unit, it fails to launch the alarm. When you turn on the unit, usually the unit realize the missing alarm and then re-sound the alarm for you. (Which is too late :evil: )
For people who encountered such issue, please enclose the following details:
1. Hardware (e.g. Qtek 9100, Dopod 838, i-Mate K-Jam, O2 XDA Mini S, etc.)
2. Firmware distribution and version:
a. IPL
b. SPL
c. GSM (hehe not quite related I think though)
d. OS
For me:
Hardware: Dopod 838
IPL: Qtek 1.01
SPL: Qtek 1.01
GSM: MDA 1.12.10
OS: O2 Mini 1.5.4.2
i have this issue only using spb time.
The internal alarm works without problems.
ROM 1.6.7.1 WWE
CPU OMAP850
WIZA200
OK, not all fact, but what i thought (until today) from reading many many posts.
1) Bad app design, no fix, wait for new ROM (possible, probable infact but maybe not)
2) When you change the alarm and standby the device before the alarm settings were saved properly (thus, when the device wakes it finishes the save and realises its past the alarm time) this is my fav answer!
I've had the problem in the past using my O2 mini-s UK with ROM 1.5.4.2 WWE. I started leaving the device for 2 min from setting an alarm to entering standby - no more problems.
Til today..
Yesterday i set the alarms like normal, used the phone for over 2 mins then entered standby with the mains charger plugged in.
At 4 am my 5 am alarm woke me, i turned it off, realised the time, almost threw my wizard out the window & went back to sleep for an hour. For info - the alarm WAS set for 5 am, the clock WAS right. Even when the alarm was going off it told me it was a 5am alarm & the clock was saying 4. The alarm then worked properly at 5.
Until there is a real fix for this i cant trust my phone to wake me, my old nokia's could manage the time & alarm, but the Wizard seems to find it too challanging
my 9100 does this all the time now. bugs the hell out of me.
i haven't heard of any other wm5 devices having this problem which might mean it's a wizard issue rather than a wm5 issue ?
:-(
It is a very common problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31895
Please read through that thread first - and if at all possible, reply there.. unless your reply would be specific to the information requested by the poster here.
For what it's worth, I stand by my recommendation in that thread: just don't let your PPC go to standby, and use any of the freeware apps out there to turn the display (not just the backlight) entirely off. Your battery will drain only a *slight* bit more, but you will not run into the issue discussed here.
not sure where to reply. Probably here, it is less crowded and it is more of a WM5 topic here than a hardware topic there.
Anyway, just to let you know I have a MDA Compact 2 (aka HTC Charmer) which runs WM5. The alarm seems to worked fine so far. I have it set to 7am all day, using a the standard WAV sound. Works well.
I'm not sure if this matters, but the alarm works when it is in standby mode (aka one button will switch it on instantly) BUT it doesn't work if I had the device switched off (aka needs to bootup upon switch on).
And, the only problems that I had with the alarm is when I have a VERY big WAV file in it. The last time I had a 3.0MB WAV file as my alarm sound, the 'Reminder' failed to pop up and the alarm keep sounding. And if you had another alarm on it will still sound it together. Bit like a mixed up WAV in the system. Other than this, the alarm works well in Charmer.
I recently have a Dopod838 (I think) ROM (WM5) flashed into it and the alarm still works alright. Hopes this info helps.
Heya,
Yeah, if the device is entirely off (i.e. needs boot-up), then no alarm/etc. will run at all. In that mode, there is only enough power for the device to react to the button press to turn it on. This is similar to switching a regular mobile phone completely off. You'll miss any calls as well
I get the same problem, I just leave my phone on all the time.

If this helps, I use Pocket Candy as a screen saver and change the default s/saver to 'blank screen'. (Unsure if this completly turns the display off) but my phone fully charged with regular use (camera & vids as well) will last around 36 hours...
Pocket Candy can be found HERE:
I don't know how much people have been thru the same problem in wm2003;the reason why I have started this thread is to find out if there is an OEM secretly fixed the bug already. The time when I am using wm2003, OEM never really admitted the bug is fixed, but in fact the bug is gone after certain version of rom.
so hope everyone could post if you have the problem or not, as well as the detail rom version, so we could know if we could avoid this problem.
after I tried Menmaid and most all the solution on the internet out there, my alarm still not wake up from standby mode...
But yesterday, I found if i enable "voice commend" (which I disabled previously), the alarm will wake up from standby mode.
Hope that helps, my is MW 6.1

My Jamin just slept to Death...

Had it at about 70% battery (around) last night, after 12 hours or so today, it refused to turn on.
I got it to turn on finally with a soft reset, and the battery showed 28%!!
I have no idea how it could have run down so fast, though it could have been something I left on (maybe wifi?).
I'm still surprised it would refuse to turn on at 28% though...
My Dopod 818 Pro is having this problem ever since I bought it. If I turn off the screen using the power switch or let it go to standby automatically, most of this time I can't turn it on again and have to do a soft reset.
I do not see a lot of Dopod users complaining about this problem so I am wondering if I have a faulty set. Other than this problem, everything else works fine.
i'm having the same problem. Do you think there will be a rom fix?
I just found an interesting observation regarding this sleep-to-death (STD) issue. If I left my Dopod overnight and got the STD problem the next day, the battery had drained considerably. It was fully charged the night before, but after 8 hours, the battery is only at 40 percent.
But since more than one person is having this issue, is it still a hardware problem?
This is not a hardware issue, its more like an unoptimised ROM issue. I suppose it will be fixed with an update in the future.
Leaving WiFi on does not matter because your device automatically goes into standby mode after a pre-defined time (3 minutes by default). In that case, even if you leave 10 apps running in the background, it won't make a difference for the aforementioned reason.
With the HTC Universal, what happened was that people would leave apps running in the background and once they are done using the device, they would just close the device thinking that it would shut off, but it wouldn't because the standy-mode was disabled by most people to get a snappier device. In such a situation, battery would drain rapidly overnight as the device hasn't gone into standby mode.
This situation will occur on the JAMin too IF there is no default standy-by mode set.
I have an HTC Universal (O2 XDA EXEC) and had the same thing happen to me two nights in a row. The battery was at 100% when i went to bed and i woke up and realized i was late as the alarm i had set didnt wake me up.
I had to soft reset the phone and the battery was down to 24% and then the alarm starting going off, a bit late though. I have had this phone for three days, and im not happy about this failing twice on me.
The only thing i have changed is running a coporate install (0506) so that o2 active wasnt on the phone.
Is there any fix for this??
Rom version: 1.13.82 WWE
Radio version: 1.04.02
Protocol version: 42.37.P8
ExtROM version 1.13.188 WWE
Go to Settings>System>Power and check the "switch off device after x minutes" option. By default it is 3 minutes, but i have set it to one minute as that serves my purpose. You will notice the drastic difference immediately .
It kind of sounds like an issue I've seen on my m600. It's a wm5 bug where activesync will try to connect all the time, randomly, even if your device is off. It can cause STD (sleep to death) and will. It's a simple fix. Just install the autosyncschedule.cpf and run it. It's a simple little .cab that will change some settings. Hope it helps
http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/bc/59d707c...amin/DisableSyncSchedule.cpf?bftVi9DBC7gsZI7r
If that link to my yahoo briefcase doesn't work, you can get this file at eten-users.net in the download section under /utilities/wm5. It solved all STD's with the eten and so far with my jamin. 8)
You can also fix the Active Sync bug manually.
To do so open ActiveSync on your WM5 device and tap on Menu>Add Server Source. Add any info to create a fake server sync. After that is complete go to Menu>Schedule and change the two dropdowns to "Manual" and tap "ok" at the top right.
Slept to death- I've sussed out why my device was doing this
I had an SD card from my i-mate Jam inserted, and after taking this out, the situation stopped happening. So if you've got an SD card in try running the device without for a while to see if that helps...

wake problem might be related to radio

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.

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.

Issues with WM 6.5 Official Build

Hello Friends,
I think by now all here might have updated TD2 with WM 6.5.
Many with cooked and many with Official, like me.
I think if we can post all issues with WM 6.5 Official ROM here and we can suggest HTC for any fixes/patches.
Or we/developer here can have fix for that .
Thanks.
Hello
One issue I've come across is when you have the messaging application running in the background and you receive a new SMS the keyboard pops up on the home screen (in Windows deafult/Titanium).
Man.
Hi.
I have noticed sum issues when trying to install some apps. when i choose the destination of where i want to install the app, it just keeps the waiting cursor on the screen and doesnt install.
this is sometimes though. so not sure if it is actually an issue with 6.5 rom

no I have not seen that,
you may just need SDKcerts or NET CF 3.5 to get those apps installed
BTW which apps ???
I've had some issues. Offical 6.5 German ROM
* When using Live Messenger I've had a few hags and I had to restart the phone.
* Without any app running task manager showed 98% used memory... only 2% free and nothing open??? the phone got slooww
* Facebook: When I was with wm6.1 official rom with a fix cab I could use Facebook within contacts, I was able to sync picture, birthday and showed me last update from contact. Now with wm6.5 and facebook that comes it only sync picture. I want birthday back and be able to read last update.
Batery Charge Issue
I think the indicator light does not change to Green even if the batery is fully charged.
Also the information tab does not change the last fully charged value.
PS:
I have seen the "Update for HTC Diamond2 Power LED Notification" update/fix has been release by HTC (http://www.htc.com/in/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=600) much before the 6.5 release and looks like this is NOT fixed in 6.5.
Thanks.
I've noticed the option to choose LED-blink-time on new messages is no longer available, it's now on 5 minutes and greyed out. What the h*ll was the point of that?! I've talked to HTC, they said "yes, it's grayed out", but had no good reason for it. Seems totally stupid thing to do. Anyone knows how to un-grey the option? A little registry-tweak maybe?

Hi All, Just re-verified and found this is NOT an Issue.
Actually the charging bar shows 100% but still the light was not turned green but after some time it did changed to gree. So NO Issue here.
The only thing is charging does takes lots of time .
spb backup?
Has anyone managed to install spb backup on the official 6.5 rom? I've tried this, and despite claims from spb that the latest version is compatible with 6.5, I always get "install was unsuccessful". Any ideas anyone?
Google maps
Also, google maps does not seem to auto-rotate the screen, although many other apps do. Does anyone know how to control which apps are allowed to rotate or not?
i am using the WWE version, and when i activate the wifi and leave the device for 5 minuts and it goes to sleep, when i press on the power buttom the wifi icon disappear and the wifi switch is still on, and wifi connection is dropped.
Does anybody has the same issue. or it is only me.
How do I make album close instead of minimize?
same problem here with the WiFi.
I really want to like this 6.5 build but there are too many problems.
1)I cannot turn off the LED notification for new emails, even if all options are off. Beyond that all the LED notification options for the phone, text, voicemail are greyed out, why disallow me from choosing?!
2) Memory leakage is horrible, will continue to rise and rise until phone grinds, and this within a day.
3) In a week it has never picked up 'My location'. Google Maps manages this to within 10 metres within 120 seconds without GPS!
4) Settings from within the Windows take you to the very limited settings tab which then needs an extra press to get to all options. Plain bloody stupid.
5) I have found some screens which for some reason wont touch scroll, normally within the MS apps such as myphone after it has synched. Have to use the scrollbar. Feels like the 90's all over again!
HTC have managed to build a ROM for the HD2 in the same time with Winmo 6.5 and yet this ROM is bloody useless, they have dropped the ball badly and i really like HTC.

There's a setting for "Turn om WIFI auto" and one something like "Turn off WIFI when inactive for .."
I did these settings the first day, through some sort of wizard, but can't find it back! I guess in your Comm-manager, under "WiFi" it says something like "Turn on Automaticly"?
It's a very nice option, because now WiFi is prioritized over 3G when you try to go online, but where the h*ll did those settings go?!

Yes this happened to me too, and at first I couldn't work out what was going on. Now however I think it is a deliberate feature, probably as a battery saving measure. It all seems to work in a sensible manner: when I come out of standby the WiFi is off, but as soon as I use an app that needs WiFi it automatically reconnects. Also when I am away from my home network, it uses 3G automatically. So I actually like the way it works now.
I have a problem with playing music with touchflo or w.e it is now. I play a song and when it's finished it doesn't play the next song (whether in a playlist or not!) It is set to "Repeat all" but still doesn't play all the songs so i have to get the phone out at every song -.- is this just me or is it a bug?
RE: Issues with WM 6.5 Official Build Reply to Thread
Dear All,
I am also not satisfied with the stock wm6.5 build, I’m using the Dutch-Rom
I have issues with following Items,
1) When my phone shows a pop-up message it “bleeps” eventhough it has been set not to sound while it notificates. Frustrates me every morning as my phone has a custom made get-up-very-smoothly alarm tone and than it starts with a harsh BLEEP !!
2) The powerdrain is horrible, I NEED to charge battery each day, with wm6.1 the device was charged after approx 3 days!
3) Recently experienced something totally new: while I work my D2 always is connected to my pc trough USB and normally charging, I just have been noted by WM6.5 that “the charging power was not enough to charge the device and if I want to charge properly I needed to close down programs…” (excact notification I forgot but in rough words this was the message). Guess what!! The only thing running is Manilla ???
4) My location is not accurate enough
5) Where is the Freakin battery indicator, why do I need to go in to the notification screen to see my battery status, I NEED TO SEE THIS AT ANYTIME HTC!!! :s
These are my main frustrations with the wm6.5 build and certainly hope HTC can fix this
Best regards

[Q] TM HTC HD2 screen keeps coming on.. causing battery to drain within 12hrs

Hi there,
Recently purchased TM Leo and I am on stock ROM 2.13531.1 (90963) WWE.. for last 2 days the cell backlight keeps coming on indicating that some program is running in the background.. causing the battery to drain within 12hrs with little use. Tried flwg to solve the issue:
1] thinkin it cud be due to additionally loaded programs.. tried hard reset and reverted to stock rom but the problem persists. I'd ESET AV, Skype for WM, GPSed, pocket RAR & cleanRAM installed.
Even d cleanRAM Level-2 purge & hard reset has not solved d issue. task manager does not show any programs running.
2] to my understanding some additional process running in d background is causing d issue.. but i dont possess sound knowledge to kill d processes. FYG flwg processes r available to kill thru cleanRAM:
Below list: process name (my understanding.. pls correct, if wrong)
NK (understand its a kernel - cannot be killed)
BTTrayCE (general - shud not cause d issue)
AudioManager_en (not sure)
voicecmd (dont use - can be killed)
AlbumSearcher (dont use - can be killed)
poutlook (required)
SyncManager (general - shud not cause d issue)
imforwarding (dont use - can be killed)
EsetOAMobile (required)
manila (required)
siHome (not sure)
siwatcher (not sure)
tmail (not sure)
BTW.. m in India n using unlocked (code fm T-Mo) Leo on Vodafone india.
Appreciate ur response & help.. its frustrating to charge twice a day..

Many events can trigger the backlight, e.g. sms, email, reminders, alarms, etc. And the settings are all in different places.
Instead of trying to find out what is turning it on, why don't you just change your power settings, e.g. when on battery, dim or standby after 1 minute of no activity. That way, even if it turns on, it will turn off after the inactivity period. You can change the power settings at: Settings|Sound & Display|Backlight

My backlight settings r at 30s/1min. Understand that.. but it happens way too often.. say avg every 3 mins. besides initially this phenomenon wasn't happening earlier n battery wud last easy for a day with similar use.
thanks thou.
When you did a hard reset and without installing any programs, does this problem occur? If not, then install one program and a time and observe if it happens.
If your HD2 is turning on every 3 minutes then something is definitely wrong.
i use netripper's proximity screen off to disable backlight when not in use. look for it here in xda. the backlight turns on for so many reasons we're not aware of and when one of the hard keys is pressed inadvertently, e.g. even inside the bag or pocket. this app turns it off, thus saving battery, using the proximity screen. i always put my hd2 upside down on the table for example and let this app take care of turning off the screen for me.

appreciate if u can link me to d app.. cudn't locate it.. latest addition is "netripper's" BsB tweaks.. but no change. thanks for d tips
Did you find a fix for this? My tmo hd2 is doing the same thing, screen keeps waking up every 30 sec to a min killing my battery. Im running kumar 2.9. tried reflashing, hard reset, tast 29, flashed new radio, nothing seems to slove this.
This sounds like the "car kit issue" again. Basically the contacts within the USB port corrode and it shorts out 2 pins that are meant to be shorted out with a resistor when the car kit is plugged in, this signals the HD2 to stay turned on, and to usually launch the navipanel, speaker phone enabled by default in calls.
Unfortunately there is no known fix for this you will have to do a warranty swap though t-mobile. I had to swap mine for this very reason about a month and a half ago.
I now keep tape over my USB port to keep debris and moisture out. i am on the lookout for a rubber plug to fit in there. I charge my batteries using a standalone charger, physically swaping out the battery in the phone every morning. Added benefit of the phone getting a reboot in the morning. It also comes in handy because I now have 3 batteries and can bring spares along when i know ill be away from a power source awhile and be using the phone alot.
There is a whole thread about this issue in the normal HD2 forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619859
Thanks for the info. I looked at mine, it looked ok little dirt nothing big. Cleaned it out, but still did it. So I put it back to bone stock, even took off the hspl. That seemed to do the trick, it not waking up by itself any more. The rom I updated must of messed up the hspl some how.
