Hi,
I seems to be having a strange problem with my newly aquired m5000 I noticed the other day when it was sitting on my desk but not plugged into anything (pc or mains) the screen would turn on at random intervals stay on for the 3 minutes i set and then go off!
I have tried uninstalling things like GPRS monitor and SPB PPlus but still get.
I wondered if anyone else has had the same problem or worked out a solution?
It does it in minilaptop and pda mode, obviously cant tell if it does it when closed.
Quite annoying as it will obviously affect battery life and i dont want it turning on on my pocket when and accidentally dialing etc.
Any of you guys got any ideas?
no ideas I'm afraid, but my K-Jam also does it every now and then since I've upgraded to the new ROM

Hi Guys,
was wondering if any of you had seen this happening, or knew how to fix it..
occasionally, like once every two days or so, my pda2 will just not turn on again after it's turned off (put in standby). the only way to turn it back on is to press the reset button. it still seems that the radio is working when its in this state, as if i make a call to the pda, the phone im ringing from rings and rings, but the pda just stays silent, and if i put the pda up to a speaker i can hear the "da dada da da" noises that mean phone radio activity. also if i put the pda in a cradle when its in this state, the battery indicator light on the pda will turn on as if its charging..
i can almost live with the short battery life, but the phone freezing when its turned off i can't. i've tried a hard reset.. to no avail.
any ideas?
Hey ow, what have you got running that could cause it? Any 3rd party bits and pieces?

hi kevin.
thats exactly the path im taking now. i have hard reset my device again, and have loaded NOTHING on to it, i reset it before it could install the extRom stuff, and i've only changed settings like vibrate on ring, and regional settings, etc. i haven't even active sync'd it. so far so good (touch wood)
programs i had loaded before:
intellisync (automatically connected to grps if not cradled)
small menu
kbattery
tAgenda (not fully compatible with 2003 SE, but seemed to generally work ok)
worldmate 2004 pro v1.0 (not fully compatible with 2003 SE, but seemed to generally work ok
and thats all i think. i have my suspicions with intellisync..
Hi there
Mine did the very same thing a few times but i just reset it and carried on ...
id recommend upgrading to the newer I-Mate ROM as its more stable, just be prepared to fart about a bit to sort the country code errors and such.
In fact ... i camt remember the last time mine crashed after ive installed the new ROM.
my device came with the rom dated 1/27/05, which is the latest i believe... ?
well, i think i've figured out what causes the problem, thought i might as well give an answer incase anyone else has this prob.
for me appears to happen when GPRS is enabled and i turn the phone off. gprs is turned on in the first place by intellisync, which sync's my email, calander, todo's and contacts with lotus notes. however i tried enabling gprs manually, waited until intellisync sync'd itself, then turned the pda off and went to lunch. after lunch it was frozen again.. i did turn it on at the start of lunch to check the time, and i assume at that point it hadn't tried to do an update, but probably sometime after that and before it froze i would assume it had tried to sync itself.. i guess the next thing to test is if i can just leave gprs on (making sure it doesn't try to do anything) and see how things go.
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

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...
Hi guys, I'm new to the forum so please forgive me for any mistakes. I searched the forum but I could not find any related topic so I decided to post a new thread. Anyways, my tytn is new (2 weeks old) and sometimes hangs when going to stand by mode. I tried to dissable the "turn off devise if not used for.." option and turn it off (stand by) manualy by sigle pressing the power button. But guess what nothing happented!! I could not turn it on and I had to do a reset again. It is so annoying, I am missing calls, sms etc because my device hangs and stays off! Anyone experiencing the same problem? Is because the ROM version? (My ROM version is 1.18.255.3). How can I fix this problem? Thnx
I have occasionally experienced this problem and have tracked it down as a fault that only occurs when I have the wifi connection activated. I keep the wifi off unless in use the problem disapears. Hope this helps
wifi is off at all times. Actually I've never used wifi with tytn
Are you running Today plugins from memory card? One of the reasons Tytn hanging is related to that. Put these plugins into main memory until a future ROM is correcting this problem. Good luck!
I have also had this problem. Activesync was the culprit. I make sure I always close AS after syncing instead of minimising. In addition I delete the event that starts activesync (repllog.exe) in my notification queue. No freezes while on standby for almost a week now
I made a thread about it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=278968
thx guys! I'll try and reply back
Seems to me cdyat was right. Thanks for the tip!
Has anybody else seen this? it happens to both mine and my wife?
You cannot receive calls, and the alarms don't work? It needs a soft resest to start up again.
Any ideas?
If I understand your problem correctly the same thing is happening to my TyTN. I'm slowly trying to figure out if it's some software that I've loaded or not - any 3rd party apps you've recently loaded? The biggest problem for me is I can't tell if it's frozen or not until I try to turn it back on. Post any progress with fixes and I shall do the same.
Voice Command is the only culprit I can think off
I will uninstall it and see what happens, even though I love it it ha notorious bugs and power consumptions (it runs in the background 24/7)
Also here is a list of my software maybe you can add yours?
atek cool camera
vijay555 vj candela
vjay555 VJbluesync
vodafone fone skin
c ghiesler total commander
tt6
my company flas messenger

If you search the forum I think you find it has been traced to installing *some* apps onto the micro SD card.
Think I might have fixed it
I'm sitting here fingers crossed as I think I might have fixed this on my Vario II.
I was getting the hang in standby mode problem and having to soft reset on average about 3 times a day. I was reading in some forum or other that it has something to do with applications trying to access the SD card while in standby mode.
It occurred to me that this might have something to do with my email settings. I had a pop3 email account setup to download emails at 15 min intervals (24hrs a day).
I changed 2 things :-
1) Changed interval to 30 mins (basically to save baterry power)
2) Unchecked the 'Store attachments on storage card' check box on the Options - Storage tab.
I don't see how changing the interval would change anything apart from possibly reducing the number of crashes.
I think it could well be caused by email trying to store downloaded email attachments on the storage card when in standby.
It's been 2 days now without a hang.
Fingers crossed.
I'll update if it comes back.

I changed radio from 1.20 to 1.16
Because I realized that i had recently upgraded my wife's and then this started with her too.
I had 1.05->Radio 1.20>HANGS, so changed to 1.11> some hangs, but less, back to 1.20=hanging all the time=>back to 1.16, no hanging so far and battery improved.
Must be something to do with power usage as battery is much better now.
I conclude not such a great idea to upgrade with Chinese Dopod radio rom when living in London, who knows how they all set up their networks and GPRS etc.
Last night, with BT on, and AS in the background, I only lost 30% power compared to 50% before with these apps off. So a noticeable difference.
Everyone,
I have a strange problem with my prophet, I have tried about 3 diff wm6 roms so far from this site.
And once flashed my phone randomly seems to wake up.
The screen will flash and turn on for now apparent reason.
Any thoughts?
My mate who has a wizard has the same problem.
cheers,
Mike.
Could it simply be the active sync error (it keeps automatically starting up)?
If so, just do this:
Open Activesync on your 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. You can now go to Menu>Options and delete the Exchange Server setting you just added.
I have the same problem since I installed WM6 Underground yesterday.
I've tried your solution but it doesnt work (it still occurs after a soft reset).
Anyone else has a solution? This is so annoying
Try locking the device
I have noticed the same thing but it's going away if I'm locking the phone (only the power button remaining enabled).
yes this is happening for me using the ASERG 3.12 WM5 ROM.
It's really irritating as it seriously drains the battery. Went down about 30% last night.
Also waking up means running all sorts when the phone is in my pocket.
Short battery life causes me big problems as I travel a lot......
I'm thinking of going back to one of the less troublesome WM5 ROMS. I gave up with WM6 due to the loss of BT, GPRS and Wifi settings after a soft reset.
I'm sure one of the geniuses will fix all these issues soon.
cheers!
this has been fixed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299069
Your waking up problem could be an faulty radio side-effect, it thinks it is receiving a call or sms and wakes up.
The most reliable radio rom right now is 2.61.21. You can upgrade to that without losing any data, and it fixes all call and sms, BT and Wifi issues. I applied that to a Jester's WM5 and solved all my problems plus got a better battery life.
