Has anyone else noticed this?
If you put the phone on vibrate mode, then recieve a text message, occasionally the orange light will not stop flashing, even after reading the message. I've got the "flash light for No Limit" option selected, as I want the light to flash until it's read.
To switch the flashing off, I have to go into Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications then click OK without changing anything.
Annoying bug!
Yes, I've noticed this also. I have mine set to 5 minute flash but some things don't seem to realise they have been read and continue flashing.
Do you have the same ROM as me? - see my sig.

Yeh, the strange thing is that this works ok for me when on normal mode (i.e. not vibrate).
How do you check ROM version?

Not sure if it is. I think there is talk of a 1.13 radio but can't find any firmwares at the Qtek site.
I wonder if you would mind checking something for me on yours please...
With the machine in flight mode, could you attempt to turn on bluetooth by clicking on the bottom left of the today page and then ticking the top checkbox that appears on the next page. Does your LED start flashing blue or do you get a message telling you turn on the radio first.
I cannot find a way to turn on bluetooth at the same time that the radio (phone) is turned off (note with pocket PC on). I think it is a problem with this firmware but it could be a problem with just mine.
Thanks
It has the same problem on mine: flight mode needs to be off for BT.

Thank you Timewarp. Unless someone knows of an alternative way to turn the phone off without using flight mode it seems to me that this firmware is a bit faulty.
For most people I don't expect it will be a major problem but for me, who intends to use mapping software whilst out hiking it could prove a real battery drain.
Qtec told me that it was a faulty phone and to return it - it does look like they were wrong, its not a faulty phone but a bug or strange feature in the firmware.
Thanks again!
OK, thanks to kta I have now managed to get bluetooth on and GSM off!
I did try it a few days ago and it didn't work - maybe I had an older version of the software.
So it looks like the standard software can't do it but some 3rd party software (Phone Alarm v1.27) can!
How about this idea as a work around?
Turn on flight mode, then turn it off again. When it asks for your PIN, click Cancel. Then turn on BT. You get BT on then, without your phone connecting.
I'm not sure whether this will save the battery drain though.
so thats what that option was for. i thought it was supposed to flash the screen.
On mine if i get a message or a missed call the orange light comes on solid(not flashing) and i have it set to no limit as well
i'm on rom 1.12 and radio 1.13

Yep, I thought of that too, but if you read what it says on the screen, something like "you can only make emergency calls" that suggests that it still needs a link to phone transmitters. So, although the green led doesn't flash I would say that it is still communicating with transmitters and thus using up battery power. I'll test this in my car, if I hearclicks over my car speaker then that will prove that the phone is actually still communicating with transmitters.
If I don't hear any clicks from the speaker then the phone probably isn't on.
I'll test it on my way home tonight and let you know.
Cheers

Yeh, I'm not sure whether it'll be communicating with transmitters all the time, or would only do this when you tried to make an emergency call.
If you think about it, emergency calls would use any available network, whether you're a subscriber or not, rather than the company that you have a contract with. When you have your phone connected to the network (flight mode off, PIN entered), I would guess that it would only keep your service provider's systems up-to-date with your location and not every mobile service provider in range :?: I say this because in some areas you can get reception from some networks and not others.
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what you find.
Edit: Post deleted as I realised my reasoning in the post was flawed.
After a reboot it works fine for a few days (2-3 days)
Then the prblem starts.If you manually put it in standby mode (screen off) and make a call to the phone it rings. But if you wait till it goes to standby mode by itself it wil not ring. But it will show that you had a missed call when you resume the phone.
If you manually put it in standbye mode it starts doing i after while.
If you hard Reset the phone and resinstall everything, it works fine for a month or so then it starts doing the same thing as abovee.
Has anyone experienced this?
Is this a defective phone?
Thanks,
Phone not ringing when in standby
actually i've been having the same problem. every once in a while when i turn my phone back on from standby, i get all the text messages and missed calls that i got during the time it was in standby. i know this happened often with older versions of wm, but i thought it'd be fixed by now.
it happens about once a month, but it'd be nice to not miss important calls since i use it for work

This is really interesting. It seems to happen on some phones but not on some others. in out office it happens only on that one phone. I wonder if some of the phones are deffective.
I have the same problem with my phone and it is really frustrating. My phone still doesn't seem to ring or vibrate even sometimes when I bring it out of standby mode. The screen flips on and I get a notification...but no vibration or sound.
I frequently check to be sure that my notifications are set up in the settings properly. Weird.

We spoke to HTC about this. They said it's a known problem and they are
working on it.
Have you tried a hard reset? (hold Talk & End together and press the rest button. ****Be carefull this wipes out all data and reinstalls everything**).
We found out that for the time being rebooting soelves the problem for a few days. Hard reset solves the problem for a few weeks.
I have done a Hard Reset earlier with some success (for a few days). I find that a reboot typically solves the problem only for a couple of hours. I will eagerly await an HTC fix. haha.

Try disabling time synchronization under the phone options. That's seemed to have "fixed" my issue I experienced almost daily. I'm going on three weeks with no freezes.

Did that fix a freeze problem? Ours doesn't freeze. You can easily bring it out of standby. But while in standbye it doesn't ring. Are we talking about the same problem?
Thanks,

Maybe you're right, I experienced a slightly different issue. My phone wouldn't ring when someone called AND I couldn't bring it out of standby - it would not respond to a power button press. Disabling time synchronization fixed this and it now always rings.
I used to have this issue when I had my Touch checking my email once every hour. After a hard reset and changing to manual email sync the problem has been eliminated.
Keep in mind there is still an issue when the battery drops below 30% where the phone will not wake up for notifications. A charge and soft reset will fix this issue.
Hope this helps.
This is a know problem with the touch so far this is what has come about
hp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=11805
HTC has mad the phone to shut down when the battery is at 30% from what people are saying to conserve the battery.
go to ppcgeeks.com on this issue, its all over the place
SD memory card is my theory
I think there is a problem with the memory cards on this phone. I don't know if it' a hardware problem or a wm software issue, but when you take the memory card out the phone is much more reliable. I've defintely had the missed call phenonema with the card in and I don't think it ever failed with it out. Many threads talk about flakey memory cards, Has anyone had this problem without the memory card in the phone? I've taken mine out because it is so poorly supported. Attachments cause a problem, activesync doesn't back up pictures from it, I've read other issues about programs that don't run from it!
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 Guys,
as I am a noob on this forum, i searched around, but couldn't find anything related to my problem.
I do have my brand new Treo Pro (aka Treo 850) and I am having some trouble. When there is an incoming call, I answer it, but after a few seconds - just from nowhere - the flightmode gets active and the phonecall is droped. Maybe even only the phone is switched off... I can not see any difference. While the call is incomming there is no bluetooth active, the batterystate is good, no wifi connection...
I am really sad and frustrated, I switched from an older treo 650 where this problem happens, too. I thought there it has been due to his age, but now – with the same looking problem on my new Treo Pro (850) I am going mad.
Some more Info:
The touchscreen is locked at this time. The callduration was about 10 seconds max.
Could this be some incopatibilty with some of the installed programms, like TCPMP for example?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Yours JamFX
Hi JamFX, I'm a heavy user of my Treo Pro for work and have lots of apps installed; I've never experienced this problem.
You could try uninstalling one app at a time and hope you find the problem that way.
Otherwise try a hard reset if all else fails?
Good luck.
I was having the same problem...
just found that was my mistake...the phone let the touch screen active during calls and it's too sensitive so, your ear hit the signal info icon, hit the comm manager and there activate the air plane mode...you need to answer the call and hit lock that appear on the screen options and there is, no air plane mode active again...
Hope this work for you!
Thanks so far...
Hi Everybody,
thanks for your hints so far. What I've done so far is:
- Uninstall TCPMP
- checked if "lock screen during calls" is active -> was activated...
So I think, that the last solution was quite a good hint, but not for my case. I thought of this, too, so i tried this ;-)
Until now, I didn't had problems, but until now I didn't have so many calls to check. Lets see. I will report them here. If there are any similar cases known please don't hesitate to post.
Thanks
Yours JamFx
Hi,
Still in my first week with my Note (UK rooted stock GB) and loving it.
One minor quirk though - where I currently am (hospital :-( ) I have no wifi and only an iffy EDGE signal. Sometimes the data connection struggles, drops and re-establishes itself, but occasionally it just stops trying and the only fix seems to be to restart the phone - toggling data/airplane mode on the power button, turning off/on data via the settings menu and firing up another, comms-based app doesn't help.
Can anyone suggest anything more convenient than a reboot.
Thanks

Fresh Network Booster and Network Booster
both working great, try them.
Yep, those are the ones I installed. They seem to improve signal bars but data transmission has still been crap until a short while ago - maybe there's a local cell problem - I'll keep persevering, but hopefully I'll be home in a day or so.
Lost data again today, tried the apps - no luck and after about 30 secs the signal bars were replaced with the 'no signal' icon.
I switched on airplane mode, waited a few seconds and tried to turn it off again but pressing the airplane mode button did nothing.
In the end I switched off/on, the phone came up in airplane mode but let me turn it off and everything was OK again.
Does this just happen in one location? Like maybe it's just weak cell sites? Just curious.
Could be - I'm still stuck in hospital so can't try elsewhere.

Alright, well, let us know if you have problems when you can try it somewhere else.
Also, strange that the hospital doesn't have wifi. Every hospital I have been to does. Lol.
Same problem here, looking in the whole forum it seems that some One X users are having the same issue... really annoying, hope its not a hardware issue... theres a really low stock of Galaxy Notes here in argentina...

I can't find anything else online about this for the s10+ I keep getting this one or twice a day and have no idea why, I'm on the latest software updates available and its like it happens if I don't use it for a few hours and it just disconnected from the tower. If I turn airplane mode on and back off if works again though.
Any tips, thanks
