Hello all,
Received my a7 a few days ago and was noticing sometimes it wouldn't wake up when it went to standby. The green indicator on the top of the device became solid instead of blinking which I assume means its not in standby anymore, but the screen remains blank. I thought a factory reset would fix the problem, but it didnt. I installed dexters mod last night and it did nothing to fix the problem. Any suggestions? Should I send it back or is there a fix for this?

You can't send back while you have custom ROM. Revert to stock ROM and try to reproduce the problem. Install 2-3 applications and check. Then install a few apps again.
I think it's app fault.

I just installed the new firmware and its doing the same thing, even before installing any apps. Gonna send it back.

Mine did this briefly, I removed power cord, pressed reboot button with paperclip, then went to recovery mode and did factory wipe. I've been good ever since. This did not help until I tried with cord out for entire process.

After finding out that the official GPS fix came out october 13th, on october 16th, i downloaded kies and did the update manually. Stupid me forgot to turn off OCLF so I soft bricked my phone. I brought it back to stock by using odin then updated through kies again. Everything was going great until...
I rooted my phone using OCLF..
I installed ext2 tools...
I then installed lag fix 2.2 AFTER it was proven it was fixed and ok with the GPS update.
Now everytime I don't use my phone (100% battery), I turn off the screen and when I get back to my phone, my screen would be off, so I would try to press the power button but it doesn't turn on. I would have to hold it down for one minute or so just so it can restart, and when it does, my battery dropped to atleast 40%.
I have no idea what is going on.
The update is wonderful but idk if I'm the only one experiencing this kind of problem.
Please get back to me asap
Thanks XDA

Bump! I'm still experiencing problems
I unrooted my phone and uninstalled ext2 tools along with lag fix and OCLF, yet when I put my phone on stand by and put it in my pocket, when I check two hours later, my phone would be off
Exactly right now, what just happened was I was using my phone and I pressed the power button (to put it on stand by), the screen turned off and when I realized I forgot to turn off my gps, I tried to turn on my screen again but it wouldn't turn on. I pressed it numerous of times and nothing. The screen won't turn on. So I had to pull the battery and turn it on again... I mean, does anyone have any ideas? Suggestions by any chance? Thanks in advance...

After getting perma root and installing Bacon bits 0.3, when I want to turn my phone off completely it instead just boots back up into the recovery. Does anyone else have this problem or have any ideas how to resolve it?

I am apparently having this problem as well now. I never noticed it before and even after a battery pull my phone seems to boot back into recovery. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
One thing to note is that you need to make sure that you don't have it plugged in and charging. It's known to boot on its own when you do that. I'm not sure if that is a bugged feature or not, but I also have Bacon Bits installed and can shut down fine.
Although, my phone stays on all the time.

Ok just tried to turn off my phone with it unplugged and it did not turn on to recovery. So kind of a boo bug for now but I am sure that it will get worked out.
Heh... I'm guessing you all have Clockwork Recovery installed? That's the problem. At least, when I switched to the test keys recovery, it wouldn't constantly start back up with any power regardless of how I shut down.
hmm..i have baconbits installed and dont have this problem. ill look into it
Hey Everyone,
Thanks for taking a read through -- I've searched google and the forums but found nothing on the issue I'm having.
After the battery had died, and I power on the unit, all the home-screens are wiped (no icons) and my wallpaper reverts to a default. I then have to completely redo the screens.
Now, suddenly, it happened today out of the blue -- I went to send a txt message, the unit froze, and my screens were wiped.
I'm not rooted.

Factory reset if that doesn't fix then send it for a replacement. It could be the app you downloaded that is causing the problwm

Do a factory reset turn off Fast boot on your mytouch first, then turn off the phone . Hold Volume and power button at the same time release it when you see a white screen and it should say factory reset.
Thanks folks... I'll give that a shot and let you know how it goes.
Hi
I have a rooted stock ROM/Theme MT4G which I noticed last week that it stopped going to sleep. If I set the timeout to 15 seconds (or anything) then right after the timeout is reached the screen sleeps and then within a second immediately comes back on (to the lock screen). It keeps doing that no matter what settings I try. This of course kills the battery life with my screen being nearly 100% of use.
I thought it was related to an app update so I removed nearly everything I could to no avail. Thinking that it was something related to the ROM I decided to try a different ROM. I installed CM7RC2 and low and behold the same problem persisted. I had to disable trackball wake for this problem to go away. I then tried several other ROMs and the problem still remained. I've attempted the various Royal* ROMs and the same problem persisted. Any Sense based ROM was problematic since I had no way of disabling Trackball Wake so I'm now running CM7 (nighties).
The other snag I'm having is that I too have the problematic power button but in my case I have to REALLY press hard to operate the power button which of course is annoying.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this sort of problem?
Thanks.
Did you check out the Cyanogen mod 7 in settings ?
I did. That's what I'm running now.what exactly are you suggesting? Thanks.

I have the same exact issue, ive been trying to get some devs to add the disable trackpad wake option in sense roms but so far nothing so right now i use either royalginger or royalmiui im on miui but i really miss sense :/
I had the same thing. I booted into recovery and wiped data and cache and flashed again and everything worked.

I must have done that a bunch of times already but nothing worked except CM7 because I can disable the trackpad wake function. I wish Sense based ROMs allows for disabling the trackpad...that would be greatly appreciated. An even more helpful feature is the ability to remap the buttons.
Is it possible your trackpad is defective? DO you notice other odd behavior that could be related to it?
If your using google voice its the application doing that you can fix this on cm 7 by moving the application to the Sd card.

I believe this is a real hardware issue... It seemed that the optical sensor in the trackpad is broken and it's always sending signal to the kernel telling that it detected activity but in reality nothing was going on, so the kernel can never go into power saving mode.
Sense UI is a CLOSED SOURCE software, there's nothing you can do to patch it.
Since ALL MT4G are still under the 1 year Manufacturer's warranty, you should call T-Mobile/HTC to get it fixed or just get a replacement....
Ok I found a solution for us mt4g owners with the messed up trackpads, you are gonna have to flash virtuous unity rom v. 2.39 and then apply this patch:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28766802/Virtuous/trackpad_disabled.zip
This patch was made by one of the developers of the rom chrisch1974 specially for this issue, so good luck =D
Same problem, but found work-around
My phone (MT4G) has the same issue but I know why it happened. I got caught in the rain and although I had the phone in my pocket, it got wet. Everything works except that. I left in a bag of rice overnight to no avail.
Anyway, when I press the power button to send it to sleep mode, it just comes back to the lock screen. If I let it time out, it goes out but comes right back to the lock screen. Sounds familiar?
What works for me is holding the home button (the one with the sensor) and, while still holding the home button, pressing the power button once. It is then that I let go of the home button.
Works, but sometimes I have to repeat this charade a couple of times before it sticks. Usually have to repeat it when I don't fully press the home button.
Anyway, hopefully this will help someone that is stuck with this phone and is unable to get a replacement.
So I have a rooted defy mini and a few days ago it started randomly rebooting. I first noticed it when I tried to wake the phone from sleep, the capacitive buttons lit up but the display stayed black and after a few seconds the phone rebooted. This has happened a few more times since. But now I also noticed that it reboots without me doing anything. I was watching tv with the phone next to me and I saw the screen light up and the phone rebooted just like that. NOTE: It hasn't rebooted while I'm using it, just when it's inactive

Did you just root the official builds or what? Which Build are you using generally? Did you check your ROMs known limitations? Besides that it could be an Application causing that, especially with root privileges so if you know you're using a known to be stable build you might start writing your tuning/cleaning apps. Btw., did you OC?

Wipe Data/Factory Reset in Stock Recovery and flash the stock SBF using RSD-Lite.
I am using stock 2.3.6. Anyway since I posted it hasn't restarted yet. Don't know what was causing it. Maybe it was just a temporary issue
