Greetings,
I just upgraded to the 2.02.00 ROM last night but still have the occassional lockups. I need to do a soft reboot to get the phone to respond. I believe when it locks up, the radio is still running since I see the blinking Green LED for the GSM. I have to switch off the POWER MANAGEMENT option of "Turn off in x min in not used" for battery power to be able to use the device for calls. The only level of battery saving I am stuck with now is the Backlight auto-off and the beam settings.
Is this something others are having as well or are any applications the culprit?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards
BHAMEED

Try the power button
All buttons..including the power button...no response.
try holding down the power button
or setting the backlight to atleast one notch.
Urm... uh... ah.... eeee... aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.
I can confirm this behavior on my MDA Pro (G3).
All ROM versions the same like Bhameed's on my MDA, ...except bootloader of course.
Anyone else noticed this on 2.02.00?
Hold on, can you guys be more specific with this? Are you absolutely sure it doesn't come back on when you PRESS AND HOLD the power button??? Really sorry if I sound like I'm being pedantic, but just from what you've written it sounds like you don't know how to turn on the phone???
hahahaHAHAHA!!! awesome reply spyder
ok, yeah i was thinking this is an issue of not being able to turn on your phone.
yeah what's going on that was different from before?
There have been only few moments where you think "Surely not"... I hate those moments, I'm just hoping this isn't one of them! If it is a genuine problem it's pretty serious and needs to be addressed, but if not.... well, I don't think I should say much more
Please please please say this is all a big joke. I'm tired, please excuse me.
I confirm this behaviour!
And more!
My Qtek freezes... freezes... and then PUFFF. Dead.
I wait some minutes (30 minutes) and I can turn it on again.
I'll send it to qtek.
Mine has a thing sometimes where there will be a pause between pressing the power button and it coming to life... sometimes if I get impatient and press the power button again it will turn it back off before it's come on.
I don't really get it though. Does it freeze while it's still on, or while it's turned off? If it freezes when on, there's plenty of info about how to prevent freezes (mostly 3rd party apps + reg tweaks).
If it really does freeze when off, then please let us know anything more on the issue that you can.

Mine freezes everywhere. Bootscreen, Pin code menu (when u type your pin). It depends.
then pda doesn't turn on.
Many problems.
Just go to the assistance. :\
1.Sometimes it freezes while its on. For Instance I had program opened and then whenI tried pressing X to close nothing happened. I had to use the red hardware button to close. Wonder why.
2.I too agree while the phone boots and is searching for network, it takes very long, Meanwhile when the pin enter screen come up, unless the network is fully searched one cannot enter the sim pin code, it has few freezes. or at time the phone signal icon disappears on top bar and again you need to reset the phone.

Again, I don't have this problem for some reason... I get very few freezes at all.
I think we're getting away from the original point of the post though... and normal freezing is well documented in most OS threads with means to prevent it.
Same here...Confirmed. Tried all button combinations to get the display back (short presses and long ones), but then end up having to do a soft-reboot to finally get the phone to work properly....

And then you don't have other problems? Like freezes?
EDIT: I flash the original rom but the problem still here
I wonder if this could be a memory leak like someone suggested.... I'm sorry guys, I haven't experienced this problem, and I haven't seen any posts about it until this thread, is there any chance you guys with this issue can keep an eye over your memory status over say a couple of days to see if there's a leek and keep us posted? Once we find out what the problem is it should make a solution easier.
I experienced this problem as well using a cooked WM5 ROM on my HERM200 the only fix I found was migrating to another ROM. I'm currently using CUSTEL_Cing_v1.3, the battery life sucks but I love WM6, it is so much faster, I'm still tweaking and trying to resolve some other issues but other than that I am quite happy with it.
If you are experiencing the lockup I would suggest moving to another ROM as an option, that worked for me. Although a clean install usually fixes a lot of problems.
Ever since upgrading to WM6, my Wizard won't stay off. I can't keep it to stay in standby. Someone mentioned to me once that this was a known issue, and said to search the threads. I haven't been able to find anything about this. Does anyone know about this, and how to fix it?
Thanks.
Try disabling the screen auto-off settings and/or removing your password.
Thanks for the suggestion, but they didn't work....Device will still power us with backlight off, and buttons disabled. Only thing that works is the touchscreen. I press the standby button, and the backlight comes on with buttons active....weird.
Theres is a combination of settings that causes that... let me see if can find the post so you can tweak it out and that doesnt happend anymore. Its a very known bug.

There are many threads, here is just one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292547&highlight=wakeup I found it by searching.
--M
I tried the fix from the thread. The unit will still turn on, without backlight after I've put it into standby. It's the strangest thing...no keys will work accept standby, but screen functions work. It might be the ROM....
i think we did all sort of upgrading and hacking for the kjam, and one of the most annoying problem no one did find its solution till now.
the dead sleep screen.
for who dont know what i'm talking about, i mean by "dead sleep screen" when the device after some minutes of ur choice turn the backlight off, u expect to turn backlight on again by pressing either any button, or touching the screen or the power on, but nothing will light the screen again, and when the device go in standby mode and turn off the screen, same issue no key and no screen touch will wake it up again.
i faced this problem in almost most of the roms, and to be clear:
NO OVERCLOCKING SOFTWARES ARE USED
NO ADDITIONAL SOFTWARES ARE USED
RADIO 2.19 WICH IS PERFECT
last time i flashed my device to the new new tnt5 rom, expecting a solution for this problem but this time the problem is getting more annoying and present each time.
please if anyone have a solution, a patch file, a registrytweaking, let us know as this problem is the most killer for the device, u cant imagine that 10 calls are missed and u cant hear the ring of ur phone just because of its hibernation.
P.S.: i saw some time ago a patch file for the jasjam or jamin called "auto suspend patch" anyone tried if it's effective, and if it work on kjam, or maybe the experts have a more solid solution.
thanks for all ur support and help
Starting from ROMs using OS 5.2.1413 and changing the PagePool to 12MB, I never has the Sleep of Death problem now.
I used Underground 3.0 and now NBD 8.2 WM6 ROM, with IPL and SPL 3.08, Radio 2.69.11.
Warning.
Please try not to double post threads anymore.
I've never experienced (nor heard of) this "sleep of death" problem. When the backlight dims (but the wizard is still on) i can light it up again by pressing any key (or tapping anywhere). When the phone goes in standby, instead, i can only use the power button to start it again.
Things have been this way since the first time i bought the phone, with every rom, in any language.
@ anichillus:
sorry for that, didnt know that i have a double post, it happened accidently when i had a down connection then i refresh and resend the page, weird i think it shouldnt post it as second thread.
@risidoro:
i think u r more than lucky man, i know a lot of pplz facing this sleep from time to time, the way they missed some calls, and pplz think that they are away them.
@starkwong:
please can u tell me the easiet way to up the page pool from 6 to 12, maybe a packtool?
P.S.: i tried the followings in order to fix the sleep death screen
1- REMOVING THE SD CARD, SOFT RESET (DIDNT WORK)
2- REMOVING THE NON OVECLOACK BATTERY, CLEAN REGISTRY, SOFT RESET (DIDNT WORK)
3- CHARGED BATTRY, RESETTING THE BACKLIGHT SETTINGS (DIDNT WORK)
4- INSTALLING THE (AUTO SUSPEND PATCH) THIS FILE WORKS, AND TILL NOW I DIDNT FACE IT AGAIN, WILL CONTINUE CHECKING AND TESTING, TO SEE HOW MUCH THIS PATCH FILE IS EFFECTIVE FOR THE DEATH SLEEP.

No problem, i was suspecting that
To change page pool size, I recommend using the Wizard Service Tool.

Sorry I'm a bit late;
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/show...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,
after upgrading to WM 6.1 a first while everything was ok. But after a while suspending didn't work - when pressing the power switch nothing happens. After about an hour the display goes black and I can't get the pda to work any more without a soft reset. But when I receive a phone call or an sms, the display gets bright again and I can continue working.
Do you know how to fix that?
Thank you in advance!!
is it a ROM issue? the ROM you installed might be helpful to some here.
Hi,
I tried the original O² (German) Rom, the newest O² (German) Rom and the newest "Kitchen" - no matter what Rom I choose the problem still persists
I just detected the source of the problem: The powerswitch doesn't work any more - I can't event turn the device on or off by pressing it.
I don't want to send it back because that needs so much time and I don't have any replacement for the 3-4 weeks it need.
Do you have any ideas what else I can try (without endanger the warrenty)?
Thank you so much in advance!
You know I never use that button. Used to use it regularly when I first got the phone but not anymore. However, is there a way to turn on the phone without that button. I would send it back in but might be worth to see if any other guys here have ideas.
power button issues
got the same problem with my orbit 2, the power button has gone west. pain in the rear as it drains the battery fast, even with the backlight off. anyone any ideas for a fix, would rather not be without my phone for any length of time
cheers

Hello
I'm new here and still using the stock rom on my polaris
But lately, i'm having some strange problem: i lock normaly the device and press the power button (once and quickly) to shutdown the light on the screen (but keeping it working), to put it in my pocket. but sometimes, after like 1 or 2 hours, the device completely shuts down. but with no reason at all to do that...
my question is: something not correctly configured? some hardware problem? software problem?
i've serched the definitions menu & sub-menus and found nothing point to wrong configuration. (in menu: start>definitions>System>power>advanced i unchecked all the fields)
I've searched google and here and haven't found anyone with the same problem...
Does anyone here have an idea of what may be causing this?
thanks in advance for your help guys
Happened to me few times.
But I guess this happened to me: I have shut screen and put Polaris in a pocket.
Somehow I pressed Power for a longer period, and phone understood it has to shut down. Accordingly, it wrote question on display with Y/N buttons... and accidentally I pressed Yes.
Mind you, all the time Polaris is in the pocket...
This might not be what's happening to you...
yes, like you, my polaris spends most time in the pocket.
but i never saw the Y/N question on the display.....
