so I've upgraded to WM6 with two devices (Hermes and Wizard) and have noticed that periodically when i try to wake up my device, i'm not able to. I have to soft reset. Both devices..obviously seperate roms. I never had this problem with WM5, ever. I've searched the forums, as much as my kids will allow between naps and only found one thread about using the fake server trick. I just tried it and it doesn't seem as though it works, as I've had one STD. Does anyone know why this happens? It's bothersome because when my phone does this I do not receive calls!!!!
Help!
Thanks, Jason
are you overclocking? if so, remove whatever you're using and try again. Depending on your settings (such as CPU Scaler) it can cause this.
Another thing - does it do it after flashing, or after you load your programs? Could be a program remaining in memory and locks it up...
well...i'm using NBD 6.1 and it has batterystatus installed, but I'm not overclocking. other than that, I have GPRS set to always on thru tweaks2k2 and have IM+ always running in the background. could any of this be the problem?
check this. If it's one, my wizard won't wake up. newest slide2lock changed it on me.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1
Change to
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:0
It was set to 1. I changed it..we'll see if this helps. Thanks!!
no luck
well it didn't work. My wizard wouldn't turn on this morning and my alarm didn't go off!!!! I'm getting frustrated. is thisreally a semi isolated problem..I find it suspicious that I have had the same problem with two devices with different roms.
BSOD on device sleep
I had recently uninstalled some programs, followed by cleaning using MemMaid. Since then, when my Wiz goes into standby mode, it cannot awaken unless soft reset. I hard reset and issue goes away. I restored backup with limited items, installed SK Tools, cleaned, reset. Issue is back...so called Sleep of Death.
I tried the above reg entry change, no difference.
I will hard reset again as a last resort, but am hoping to fix this issue so that I can keep all my programs, data, etc without having to re-install (after all, that is one of the reasons we make backups!)
Your quick response/assistance would be most appreciated.
The program I uninstalled was WMWifiRouter. It was since that uninstall that this issue has happened.
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, recently, I don't get to use WiFi, the WiFi does not show up in the home screen, under communication manager, the WiFi is turned on, and the phone WiFi LED light is also turned on, but I don't get WiFi.
When I go to WiFi settings, I don't get to see the WiFi networks, what can I do to fix this ?
i have this problem too, and for a long time, since i first flashed my phone to WM6 to be exact. that's why i requested andot to fix the WWE version. no one seemed to take it seriously.
I accessed Celetask immediately after I bootup with this problem, I see a process called wifioff.exe , I have a strong feeling that this process is triggered at the wrong time, I can't delete it as it is a part of the ROM
Alright, I found this key
HKLM/Init
There is a string called Launch35 - Wifioff.exe
Could it be that the wrong launching sequences of programs causes the wifi module not to be loaded? Or the lack of memory or space causes the module loading to be skipped or sort?
Cause I remembered that I get this problem the day I reached critical point in my memory storage
Ok, got a breakthrough
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware
Under Wifi - change from zero to one, at least I can show Wifi in the home screen, I also see the option to turn on loudspeaker as well, something useful we got here
But still Wifi module is not loaded, cant use wifi, and after reboot, the wifi thing is gone from home screen
Yes WiFi has stopped working ever since i upgraded to WM6. The WiFi lights blink and it is not able to detect any network open or secured. Secondly, I can't even see the setting to chnage or add a WiFi APN anywhere? am I missing something??
Secondly under Assceroies, I do not underastand WANIP Manager, what is the use of it and what should be configured? Option I see is
- Profile DHCP
- Options>Select Device> BTPAN1/RNDISFN1/TIACXWLAN1/WWAN1

I just found out this key simply shows the WiFi on the home screen, does not matter whether its turned on or not.
I've experienced this problem yesterday after ...uninstalling Windows Live Messenger!!! I use WM6 for quite a while and I've never "lost" the wifi!
After trying almost everything, the only solution was a hard reset! Luckily, I do a full backup (Sprite Backup) after any software installation/uninstallation and I fully reverted my phone to its previous state.
Uninstalling Windows Live again caused no error at all!
same problem in WM5!
Surprising to see that there is a problem like this for a few of you...
Whats more surprising is that I have the same problem in WM5! I had no problems with wifi and bluetooth earlier, but all of a sudden, I cannot enter into the CommManager where the bluetooth and wifi need to be turned on.
When i goto the menu, it simply hangs. Sometimes i'm able to recover to the home screen.
This has happened after i put the a2dp patch. Any solutions to the problem?
And is sprite backup a free software? is there any free alternative?
I got this problem since my main main memory reached low and I got the warning message, after that, despite managing to recover back those main memory storage space, its gone

Hey karhoe! Thanx for the tip. I saw that my free space was just .5 mb in the phone memory. Deleted some old files and saw that is works fine again after reboot.
Thanx anyway...
Ok, did it twice and I think I figured out the reason.
I uninstalled WLM to install the latest version, after I uninstall it, it prompts me to restart my phone in which I did, just to realize that the WiFI thing is gone after I uninstall.
So there are 2 reasons identified for the WiFi problem
1) Low main memory space
2) Uninstall WLM

I think there must be other reasons.
I'm experiencing the same problem, but have never installed WLM and I have about 9mb of space left on my phone.
I also have had this issue. I have found that if I turn on the WiFi then reset the phone then the wifi usually works. Also can tell very quickly when the wifi messes up as the wifi indicator on the home screen is not present.
WiFi Issue, My experience.
Friends, I had a similiar situation after I flashed my SP5 with WM6 a few days back. I had good qty of memory remaining, never uninstalled WLM. After all installations were over, I configured WiFi thru Connection Manager-WLAN Settings-WiFi-New... I entered My SSID, password and other details, which I am sure, were correct. But WiFi did not work. When I try to connect, the phone says 'connecting..' but the WiFi LED on my modem would come ON for a second or two and go OFF. The next thing I did was, deleting the SSID from the phone and just switching WiFi ON. this time the the screen- 'New WiFi Networks Found' came in view. From there, I selected my SSID (my nieghbours' Network also were shown) and pressed the soft key 'connect'. Then it asked the Password and connected with no delay. I tried surfing by IE. Also tried Map24 (WM5 Version) which requires net connection. I am 100% satis. Hope this helps at least a few. It really is a wonderful ROM!
Cheers,
Jole.
Wifi on SPV C600 ?
My Orange SPV C600 has no wifi. Is it a genuine Tornado ?
Yes, but without wifi feature
I have a Cingular 2125 unlocked on the Tmobile network.
Recently I tried some internet apps and uninstalled them and found my GPRS/Proxy settings were hosed so I set them up again. Took a bit, but got them working.
Now I'm seeing problems when I use PIE or OperaMini (JBED) -- at some random time (it can be hours or just minutes) my screen will 'flicker' (it sort of resembles a power failure on a TV...bars of static and brightness changes rolling up or down the screen) and then the phone will reset.
Then reset. and reset...etc.
I have to unplug the battery, and sometimes wait a few minutes, before I can make it work again.
Any ideas? Personally I suspect it's a battery issue and has nothing to do with the software, but I thought I'd ask here.
Kermit Woodall
It was a battery issue. I got a new battery in last night and now I have no more problems in this area.

Well I just got my At&t Fuze like 3-4 days ago. For some reason it randomly loses connection to the network, so I can make call or use the internet. I'll have to go back to setting- communication to turn off my phone turn it back on then turn on the data connection. I'm really tiring of it happening over and over again. Does anyone else have this problem? And are there any ways to fix it? Thanks
No one has any idea??
Are you still running the stock ROM? If so, GET RID OF IT!!!!
In all seriousness: Have you installed any applications? Have you modified TouchFLO 3D? You can always try a hard reset and see if the problem persists.
It's possibly a problem with AT&T's network. I've noticed that my 3G speeds are incredibly slow lately and others on hofo have had this issue as well. I would advise you to wait it out.
forp me it says i get 3g,edge, or G and i will cant connect sometimes.
I also have this issue. Sometimes it happens after a soft reset or for no reason at all. It is easy to fix as i just turn data back on but I don't know why it is happening.
I actually tried a hard reset reset and it didn't work so then I brought it back to At&t and the guy there fixed it for me. He said it was because the data connection was off so then I thought maybe I accidentally turned it off, but the problem persist after.
Yes, I am still running under stock rom, I installed google map, beejive, and some other that I don't think will cause this problem. I am afraid to flash because I already have a lot of contact info set in and data and would have to re-do everything.
I was hoping maybe someone would have a solution for this. I don't think running on stock rom would cause this.....
Any help would be great. Thanks
I just flash it to NATF's rom and it's working really well right now. I hope the problem will not appear again. Again thanks for the rom NATF
I now get it often that there is a problem with the GPRS in your area. Also there are times that the phone is not even connected. It is getting to be a pain but will try calling AT&T and find out
Even after installing a new rom the problem still continue. I tried going into an At&t store and ask, but they have no clue. I don't have time to call 611 right now, but will update with what they say when I do. It starts to get really annoying....

It's probably a network issue.
Regarding flashing, I suggest you back up your contacts with outlook. Even if the problem has nothing to do with software, you're missing out quite a bit in terms of speed. Besides, you should back up your contacts regardless. Don't trust windows mobile too much
OK, sounds like I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I think the only thing that's different for me is that when I lose the data connection, I also lose voice. The first time it happened, it said my SIM was unprovisioned. When I called customer service, they didn't know beyond checking for network outages in my area.
Fuze_tactic & Tribalmunky
I thing both of your problems -- intermittently dropping the data connection for Fuze_tactic, and intermittently dropping the voice and data connection for Tribalmunky -- could be caused by the Long Press End button setting. Go to Start/Settings/System/LongPressEndKey to see what I'm talking about. There is one setting for Airplane mode, which would kill voice and data, and another for killing just the data connection. Try changing the long end key press to Set Vibrate/Ringer and see if that cures your issue(s). If you are occasionally long pressing the end key, your should develop a problem with intermittently losing your ringer.

No, I've checked that. It happened once when it was just charging, no where near my hands or anything that could have pressed it. When it happens I can't make calls or reestablish data connections until I either go in the connections manager or soft reset.

Like tribalmunky said we were no where near the phone when it happens, but I follow your instruction and changed the long pressed key. I'll see if anything occurs. Thanks for the input tho.
Update:
I called At&t and from what tech support told is, their network is having problems, especially for users in Cali. They are in progress of fixing it, but no idea how long it is going to take. I guess the only thing we can do now is wait.

I've been having problems with this too (losing data and phone) and I'm in Seattle. Maybe if I call, AT&T will claim there are problems with the entire west coast.
I did the whole SPL and ROM flashing thing (ROMeOS) and the problem still persists. I chatted online with an AT&T guy and he said it was a known issue but no way to fix it yet.
If you're worried about your contacts, don't be. Use PPCPimBackup (I think I got it either here or at freewarepocketpc.net) and it can copy all of your contacts onto the storage card. It's free and I've used it prior to flashing a new ROM.
However, flashing ROMs do not work. The only fix is simply going to your communications settings, turning off Data, then turning it right back on. This will also be why some of your MMS pictures don't get sent out.
I still love this phone, just get annoyed with it at times. Even the available larger battery with cover only makes my phone last about two days opposed to one.
In NJ

I am in NJ and have the same problem. It started about the time I loaded some screen lock software that requires a finger swipe to unlock the touch screen (navigation buttons always active) upon coming out of sleep mode. I just decided to live with it, I like the software. I merely click the data connection in settings, connections, data connection (it may indicate off or on, doesn't matter, it is actually off) and then click it on and everything works again. Mostly happens after charging overnight.
I have stock fuze and it keeps happening to me too. But whenever I reset my phone, I can connect to the internet. I don't think it's network related in my case. not sure though.
I've been having an issue with my Sprint Touch (Vogue) the past few weeks where I have high signal strength, but the data connection will not open. That is, if I try to open a program like Opera I'll get a notification bubble that says "A data connection cannot be opened for an unknown reason...."
I've found two ways to work around this. One is to soft reset the phone. More recently, I've discovered that all I need to do is toggle the radio off and then back on again, and it connects instantly.
This seems to happen at random times and prevents programs like my weather app from automatically connecting when necessary for updates.
Hard reset and restoring from backup has not solved the problem. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this, or heard of a solution?
trying replacing your radio ROM
go to the Vogue section and look for other Radio ROMs. you can read which ones are better.. and then flash the one you see fit.
Not sure where to post this so I'll do it here:
I have a HTC Desire that was factory loaded with Froyo (Android 2.2). So far it worked fine, with one exception, which is that occasionally the mobiel internet would just die on me and not turn back on whatever I set the settings to. So far the solution was to cold start the phone, which allowed the setting to clear and re-enable mobile internet.
However, this morning I lost it and the restart did not work. I tried removing teh battery for an hour or so, remove the SIM card, none of which helped. I also did a hard reset, clearing the whole phone to factory settings. This also did not work. The mobile Internet is still dead. It's not my provider because my colleagues use the same provider and at the same physical location, with full reception, an dthey do not have this problem. Some have the same phone even, others have a different phone.
I'm not so sure this is a hardware failure because I do have full reception and can send/receive SMS messages and make/receive phone calls. I would imagine a hardware failure would also take out the telephone radio disabling my phoning capabilities. SInce that still works I suspect a firmware issue, maybe a setting in NVM, or NVM corruption.
I wonder if flashing the phone with new firmware would solve the problem. If it is a memory location that is now corrupted to a permanent "off" setting, then reflashing probably won't work, would it?
Any suggestions?
PS, the phone is unbranded
any ideas?
