Phone turns itself on about 60secs after turning it off

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone else has a similar problem or knows how to fix this. About 60secs after turning my phone off it turns itself back on, but only briefly (about 10secs). Obviously this can be quite annoying - esp if it's in my pocket by this point and decides it wishes to call someone!

use any third party softwares like mem-maid and check you notification queue. Else check the background programs,processes that make your fone turn on..

I have the same problem! And I know the cause! It is hardware problem. Try to pull out your flashcard! See? Must be no turn-ons! If it so, I think you understand now, what the problem is...

Deep Sleep mode?

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:

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)

Device keeps turning on - help please!

I tried searching for the reason/solution but could not find anything.
Basically my device keeps truning on. I read somewhere that it's due to a fault in the radio rom. Does anyone have any knowledge/solution for this?
Thanks

It seems very strange to me, which programs are installed in your phone?
If it's related to radio you can just try to flash the latest radio 1.38.00.11 (ripped by Pof) without losing any of your data to see if this resolves your problem.
pof's Trin_Radio_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL rip

Thanks
I'll try this later and report back...

Do you have Exchange (Push) email? Do you have set email receiving to happen after a certain amount of time?

No, good suggestion but it's not the email settings.
I've put the newer radio rom on and so far no turning on. But it's only been a few hours so far...

Still turns on - oh well !

I have this same problem with my Imate Jam, my phone is set to check email every 15mins and I think thats when it turns itself on. But this must be a bug because it drains the battery so much faster especially it the screen gets random inputs when it is in your pocket constantly.

Another suggestion - do you use Sprite Backup Battery Monitor ?

or any other Weatherplugin which is checking every minutes the forecast ?

I have the same turning on issue. On mine, I know it is due to the email that is getting downloaded. Mine doesn't always do it, sometimes if I've been using wifi and turned it off, the phone will connect and check mail without coming out of standby. I haven't been able to track down exactly how to fix it. I do use DeviceLock which locks the screen so that if the phone wakes up for any reason when it is in my pocket or my backpack, buttons don't get pressed by accident.

My Dopod is turning on too and it really pisses me off.
I can be sure at 12:00am it will turn on every time.
I have reduced my power off time to 2min.

Before doing anything like flashing a different rom,start by eliminating some things
First remove your sim card and turn off the phone if it turns on by itself then its not network related nor has anything to do with your email settings.
Second try a different simcard and set the network manually to GSM and disable GPRS.
Third remove all programs that you've added(Hard reset if you have to).
Finally and if none of the above work flash a different rom.

Here is a friendly suggestion for you.
If you can supply more information you are more likely to get helpful suggestions. For example, what ROM are you using, what cabs have you installed, and what tweaks have you made. Without this sort of information it is impossible for anyone else to get enough of a handle on your problem to make useful suggestions.

you obviously have something acting in background that wakes up the phone from standby, check the list of installed applications from the settings and remove one by one those which you think have any reason to be always active on the phone.
I know for certain that HD2proximityscreenoff has te habit of turning on the backlight in standby at random intervals.

If you can get to settings fast enough try checking for and disabling power-saving,
also since this tab is "new" try to get to software menu and check for and disable any custom governor apps installed
and check for root install, bad/broken root etc.
as a precaution don't immediately ask how to do that, incorporate that process into your next search
as it will like result in more knowledgeable in depth answers.
good luck!
if there is a custom recovery and root available you may want to consider a factory reset, NOT a full wipe.
also inspect the tab for signs of tampering/opening at it's seams. as evidence of a battery swap/replacement gone wrong.
you may also be experiencing a loose battery cable issue similar to other samsung devices notably the galaxy tab 3 10.1

hmmm, okay run it all day while connected to charger, not usb port.
we're ruling out a hardware issue and focusing on a battery problem , maybe.
from what i was able to find on the subject, that seems to be the test.
additionally take account of all existing apps and process that run automatically at boot.
you may be exhausting your available ram which does cause hangs and unexpected reboots.
you can access and disable many preinstalled bloat apps without being rooted.
disabled all the samsung/3rd party ware or at least what you know you don't need.
now if at the end of your day long test the tab doesn't hang and reboot then it has to be your battery.
as a side test place your tab on a table and pound the table with your fist.
if the tab shuts off or reboots it's your battery cable. do that test with the tab unplugged.

battery stats. try sdmaid, also research battery reset/calibration.
