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.
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:

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
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!

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.
Hello,
I've a HTC TyTN, officialy shipped by Operator KPN in The Netherlands, with a Dutch WM5 ROM. I've upgraded to the official Dutch WM6 ROM from HTC.
I have a question about the 'power'-off functionality or probably 'standby'-mode. I think :
* press power-button once ... phone goes into 'standby' mode
* press power-button for >= 5 secs : phone goes into off mode.
The thing is that when the phone goes in standby mode, the phone (including SMS, etc), 3G Connections and Bluetooth keep running.
As soon as a call or SMS arrive, the phone goes back on.
On my Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox, when I pushed the power-button the PDA went into standby, shutting down wifi+bluetooth+display, but it kept my programs 'open' so that when I put it back on, the program was back open as well just were it left.
I'd like this behaviour on my TyTN as well.
I primary use the TyTN for TomTom, and some application that get's update from the internet via 3G. That's the only reason I have a simcard in it.
But I don't like to put the phone into the >5secs off mode, and wait every time for the complete bootup and then start my programs again.
Hopefully the behaviour I wish is possible...
Thanks for any help, and my apologies for the long post...can't describe it better and shorter.
Hi,
I have a problem with the wifi on HTC HD:
When I try to launch WIFI after a soft reset it always run OK.
Afetr a sleep mode (ie the phone went to sleep mode after 30 secondes or if i put it in sleep mode after a single press on the power button), If i try to launch WIFI the system freeze almost 50 % of the time : sometimes i can launch wifi someteimes the system freezes.
I did a hard reset and didnt installed any new software: same problem.
I disabeled TouchFLO; same problem
Dose anybody have an idea that can help ?
Regards
Hi There,
same as you, it happens regularly that due to reconnection to wifi, the system freezes. I must take out the battery to restart the HD.
I can't reproduce your system freeze. Have you enabled the option to keep wifi alive while in stand-by mode? This can be done by HD Tweak (or Advanced Config).
For me it is disabled and it reconnects just fine after powering the device up again. Have you installed the HTC Hotfix(es) already? What Rom are you running?
Hi,
If I leave the WIFI on so no problem at all, when the system wake up after a sleep mode so the WIFI is OK, the problem occurs very often if I put OFF the WIFI before I go to sleep mode. If I leave the WIFI on so no problem.
Just a precision: when the problem happens after sleep mode sometimes it dosent freeze but the WIFI dosent go on, if I try many time to put wifi on it will end by freezing the system.
The hotfix is installed.
ROM version: 1.14.406.3(22273) FRE
somebody can help me with this wifi problem please ?

I would try to change or update the ROM to see if the
freezing goes away. If not, send it in to the service centre for diagnosis.
shame on HTC and shame on Expansys !
I've return back the HTC HD for diagnostics few days after I've received it because of the WIFI problem descrbed in the original post. Afetr 2 weeks I've received the phone with a notice"repaired under waranty", after quick test the problem still the same ! I've returened it back to Expansys-where I bought it- and I am stil waiting to be replaced !!! Imagine that: I've had the problem few days after I've bought the phone and I have never got to use it..now after 2 months I am still waiting for the phone..Expansys says it wa sent to HTC to be replaced..I've asked them to replace cause it is new, no answer from expansys...shame
I believe while I was having a different WIFI problem and came across this problem detailed somewhere on the HTC website... however I forget where.
Some googling and forum searching might do the trick!
Have you tried a different ROM perhaps?
Also maybe using HDTweak or AdvancedConfig you could change the wifi to always be on even when the phone is asleep; although this would completely drain the battery rather quickly it could be a useful stopgap until you find a solution!
