Hi all,
I am tearing my hair out with a strange problem atm: every time I sync with Activesync, it sets my time and date to over one month ago (10th Feb today).
I have checked regional settings and time/date on both PC and PDA, but they are both fine (set to UK GMT).
I can ask Activesync not to sync the time/date, but then the calendar syncronisation does not work.
I have re-installed Activesync, but not effect....so I am at a loss.
I am tempted to re-flash with WM5, but was wondering if anyone had seen a similar problem before I do.

Activesync 4.5
Thanks.
I had the exact same problem.
When syncing to pc my wizard clock changed to 11th feb every time!
I've got a CID locked G4 so I used the wizard love rom as a base rom before using the shelltool to install faria_wm6.
Funnily enough, when going back to the wizard love rom the initial date was 11th feb.
Therefore, the conclusion I've drawn is that there's some sort of incompatibility with the wizard love and the faria_wm6 rom.
I've since went back to the wizard love rom then shelltooled Most Beautiful Edition instead and it seems to work fine!
I have the same issue, but only with Fario ROM.
Using mUn ROM and no problem.
Hopefully might help someone work out what is going on!

Try turning off Network Time in Phone applet maybe..
Did changing the network Time setting work?
Don't want to spend another 3 hours re-flashing my phone if there is no need
May be a bug in Faria's ROM... who knows...
I have a similar, but different problem.
I have the DST patches installed on both my WinXP system and my Wizard (Orwell-custom based).
Synchronization works, but it's sets the clock of the Wizard 1 hour back.
I'm in GMT-8, we are already DST, but It's like the PC knows about it and the PDA is still in Winter Time :-(
Don't know if this is related with the bug you see in Faria's ROM or different.

Mine went to 16 november 2006 every now and then. I notice this first when the Bluetooth icon disappears from the today screen, Then I recharge and powercycle the MDA and then the date is 16 nov 2006 - which obviously causes AS to cause trouble. I guess this is indeed something related to Faria's rom since my AKU3.3.0.0 -WM5 has this. I will move to WM6 soon and hope this does not appear anymore - but if it does I hope it is resolved/ overtaken by a new cook.
Hello,
I have Wizard + WM6 (faria) and recently I noticed that my PDA turns on without any good reason. Previously the display turned on when I received SMS or when there was an incoming call. Needless to say it drives me crazy!!!
Is there any way to investigate the issue (find a reason for this strange behavior)? Pls help.
P.S. Locking the device is not a solution.

i noticed that before and solved but i cant remember where is the problem exactly.
i think there is something with the connections or something like that
if it happened every short-time try to turn on flight mode, then check if it gone will be sure it is something with connection/phone

Hmmm but my rom is 5.2.318 (build 15341.4.0.01)
I tracked that down as being a problem with radio signal strength. Every time the radio signal strength changed it would wake up the phone. That was annoying, but I never found a fix for it since I upgraded to a different to a different ROM that doesn't have that problem. It may have been a problem caused by BatteryStatus's signal strength monitor though rather than the ROM's because it didn't start until I installed BS if I remeber right.
just lock the phone
before put the wizard in sleep mode. then it doesn't wake up when you dont neeD it

don't use a windows mobile password in WM6 (start -> settings -> lock). for mee it makes the phone wake up often. if I remove the password it doesnt wake up automaticly any more
hmm
maybe theres a ghost inside your wizard loll
I had a ghost in my wizard once, had it exorcised, and then it moved into my car. Now my car starts on its own!
Indeed I have a password. Furthermore I noticed that at the outset (WM6 + all software I'm using) the problem didn't exist at all. I think that it started after hard reset + system restore (spb backup).
I did some hard reset, but unfortunately the problem still exist (at least I think so, but today I will check it more thoroughly) HELP!
Here's what I would do if I wanted to keep my current rom - assuming it didn't have this behavior before (I've been known to be excessive at times ):
Back up your phone with something like PIM Backup or whatever you prefer - don't forget your themes, pictures, whatever.
Do a hard-reset.
Test for this symptom before installing any applications.
If the symptoms exist, try a different radio, if not, install BatteryStatus and test again.
Continue until you find the culprit.
Might take a while, but you should be able to find the issue...

I don't need to know the reason - I just need a solution?
BTW which one is the best WM6 ROM for wizard now?
The problem lies on having a both a password set and backlight settings on. Either remove the password or turn off the "turn off backlight if device unused for..." setting. It solved the problem for me!
You're right, but unfortunately I need the password :/
This weekend I switched to NBD 7.2 and the problem still exist.

If you need a password, then you'll have to go back to WM5. If you just want a password because you want to protect some files, then you should look into encrypting those files.
I hope that there is some way/there will be some rom to support device lock for Wizard's WM6
some WM6 roms seem to work with password.
I am still on a 'old' rom Wizard Reloaded 1.5 and there I can enable the password without waking up problems.
Just try with any rom, if it wakes up, remove the password. I suppose that's not such a big problem for most of us...you can still use Mobile Justice
I hope someone will find the exact cause (regkey probably) of this waking up problem, so any further roms wont have the problem anymore...
I'm running Faria's final edition of WM6 on my Wizard, pretty much stock except for mun's keyboard and a few apps. This rom is almost perfect for my needs.
The only problem is that when the wizard is connected to my computer USB port to charge, it won't go to sleep... In fact, if I press the power button, it turns off for maybe a minute then turns right back on again!
I searched the forums looking for an answer and came up with very little. I do recall seeing some tips for preventing this behavior several months ago but can't seem to find the post anymore (???).
Actually I had this issue fixed on this rom at one time, but then I went and re-flashed about 20 times, trying all the latest cooked versions out there before returning to Faria's. But now I can't recall the fix for the power-on problem!
So, could someone help me out and re-post the fix?
Many thanks in advance...
Don't know of a fix, but this happened to me also when using Faria's ROM and still happens now using the NBD ROM.
Have same problem with Core 2.0n
Same with my XDA ROM. I thought thats a WM6 feature that I have to live with.
It's a common problem then...
Ok, this sounds like a common problem then.
I've been thinking about it, and if I recall, I think the posted fix might have been from mrfrazz or dr puttingham... I'll try to PM them (not that they know me) and see if I can get them onto the thread....
Wasn't from me.
Ok thanks for that mrfrazzz.
How many folks have this problem? Does anyone have a fix?
Sorry, not from me either.
remove the pin password (start -> settings -> lock). used to solve this problem for me on older WM6 rom's. Don't know if the problem still exists in the newer roms...
nbd 7.4 has this problem and also wm6 business edition.
I am using the Dopod Pro 838 [Mobile 5] and have the same issue, when connected it does not sleep, no matter how many times I close the screen off
Thanks everyone for chiming in. So this is a widespread problem.
Is there a solution? Or is everyone just living with it?
For what it's worth, I've searched and searched and can't find that post with the solution. The only reason I can think of is that the post was removed. (?)
Oh well. I guess I'm going to have to live with it like everyone else until an answer turns up. If anyone has any info or ideas post here and we'll try it out.
WM6 TNT 3.0.... same problem
settings, system, backlight settings?
i'm using an enhanced xm6 and i don't seem to have this problem when i charge with the usb at work (no activesync installation). perhaps you may need to disable that, because i recall reading somewhere that activesync tends to wake the phone from time to time to constantly resync pim information.
if you don't like the backlight on, you can go to settings, system, backlight, and change the settings there. I know on faria's roms, the backlight goes off after some time, even when it's plugged into the usb. t-mobile's default rom and the one i'm currently using don't turn off, unless i hit the power button. (but unlike what was initially stated, my phone doesn't turn back on).
or in case i've misinterpreted something...i recall reading that in some roms, the phone would keep waking up due to the push service and it would require some combination of locking the phone to get it working. in those cases, i believe you have to read the respective rom thread. i know farias "the real thing" thread has info on it.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into somehow getting better control over activesync.
Yeah, that's about where I'm at, just turning off the backlight and pretending the phone is off. But it still kind of irks me, all I want is for the phone to sync then go to sleep until I need it. And stay off when I hit the sleep button...
I've had this problem forever, and I consider it a "problem" because my phone is overclocked to 273, and I'd like to keep it off to keep the temperature down. It's definetly not a rom issue, but like someone else stated, it's an activesync issue. Even disabling sync options on activesync doesn't seem to help, only thing I can think of is uninstalling activesync, but who the hell wants to do that? Maybe preventing activesync from starting or running in the background on windows start, until you want to open activesync manually?
This is the random wake-up problem that first apeared in some build of WM5 (I guess). I too can't find much info on it but I guess you could remove the pin prompting. It happens due to activesync/wmdc and usb connection while the pin is enabled. I guess this is a bug in WM6 which is yet to be fixed. Hope microsoft and WM6 team reads this thread.
May be end tasking activesync in both phone and system will help. I haven't tried as I live with it and is not an issue for me.
with PhoneAlarm there is an option to disable the ActiveSync scheduling within a profile (eg profile work no ActiveSync, while ActiveSync will still be usable at home)
Maybe this can help you?
btw, PhoneAlarm has some other very nice features, it's still my nr 1 app for the wizard!
Hey all, I just upgraded to NBD 8.0 and let me tell you this pup is blazing fast.
Onto to my question: I used to used GB Soft for WM5 before my rom upgrade, and now I miss that it would auto disconnect. Does anyone know if it indeed does work for WM6 and if not, is there a similar app out there?
Thanks in advance!

any one else getting it? unit goes in to standby and then wont wake up you have to soft reset.
ive been getting it frequently very anoying im using the big storage rom i dont rember who made it i can find out of some one wants to know
but is any one else having problems like me?
No problems here. I'm using the clean 1978 ROM...
I had it happen yesterday, running the stock AT&T ROM.
Hi
No problems here either.
It's worth remembering the phone wakes itself up about once an hour, although the display is dark so you will not see this happening.
If you have installed some software that doesn't handle this switching on very well and it crashes the phone, it will look the phone has died in standby, but it probably hasn't, it just looks that way.
I would advise a clean reset and not to install any programs, and see if it happens again. If it does your phone may be faulty, for example a memory problem that surfaces when the phone goes into a low power state.

Mine SOD'ed last night. I was using the phone, turned the screen off using the power button, then plugged it into my computer USB to charge. I was trying to do it one-handed and as you could imagine I was fiddling with the cable/phone for 30 seconds before I got the mini-usb plug into the phone. I watched to see the charging light come on but it didn't. I then tried to turn on the phone and realized I was SOD'ed. It only happens to me once every 1-2 weeks. My phone runs the stock Tilt ROM, but with lots of custom cabs installed, ie:
HTC Home 6 button
HTC Taskmanager 2.0 30995
Skype
Color Dot battery indicator
Schaps 10 Button Comm manager
PocketCM
Funambol 6.5.4
I push my phone all day long, surfing, ssh'ing into servers with putty, imap email, playing music etc, and I think if there was a bad memory issue Id see something other than an SOD. IMHO,theres a bug in the power management software.
SOD happened on my Tilt too. Im runnig the ATT rom. I had the same problem with the 8525 with the earlier ROM. The problem is IMAP email push. IF you use IMAP there is a chance you will get SOD once in a while. I changed all my emails to POP3 never had SOD since then.
I think you guys have to run the kaiser tweek to turn off the sleep mode in the registry. I had the SOD once....forgot to modify the registry via the kaisertweak app. 1st 2 options i think is what you have to modify.....that should fix you guys up.
Happened With Me too !!!
Now after using my at&t tilt flashed with HTC stock rom for 5 days, suddenly today my device suffered from a SOD.... had to soft-reset.... tried to figure out what went wrong but without any luck..... do any of u guys figured out the cause.... Kaiser Tweak only allows us to disable the sleep mode during call.....
kaiser falling sleep happens to me so frequently that I read all the posts with the key words KAISER FREEZE on xda-developers.
The only solution seems to power off and on again.
On modaco.com somebody posted a small applet which does automatically the power on-off for you.
Of course this does not remove the problem, just hide it...
Additionally I have tried 4 different WWE ROMS! from Att to HTC original ROMS to cooked Helmi aka 0.7.0 etc... No way to solve.
Please if modifying the registry can solve, can somebody post the link for kaiser tweaks and possibly the application?
Thanks

I think it might have something to do with Windows Live Maps program. This happend to me everytime I was using the program in the background. I upgraded the version and it stopped the problem I was having.

Same here... I upgraded to helmi_c's Tilt ROM and haven't had the problem since. Pretty much guarantted though, if you leave Live Search running in the background and your phone goes to sleep... it will not wake up with the stock ATT ROM (at least with the current version of Live Search).
Cheers!!
SOD has typical been associated with running programs off of a Storage card. I had tons of SOD problems with the early WM6 Hermes ROMs. So far I have only had SOD a few times on my Tilt (running austinsync's BigStorage ROM). I installed Google maps to my microSD and within 20 minutes had 3 SODs. I uninstalled it and they stoppped immediately (Live Search is way better anyway).
I would recommend installing any programs that you use heavily or leave running onto the main memory. Also, saving attachments to a storage card has been a known cause as well.
I think SOD issues will get better as more ROMs start coming out for the Kaiser (and the chefs keep cooking).
OK, this keeps happening to me with the AT&T ROM....today it happened with no programs running in the background, anybody figure out a solution yet?
Me too
well I've had this problem also while running my own cooked rom, however to be fair i had this problem in the early days of the hermes. I thought however that the hermes problem was related to activesync's push email and the data connection (i.e. switching between 3G and 2G alot making activesync trip out) That all said maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?!
Oh just in case anyone as the time to investgate this problem, I do know the Toshiba G900 had alot of problems with SOD inwhich tosh releases a fix for...... maybe if someone was to look at what that fixed it could help us here? have a read here > www.my900.com
Kaiser won't power back up
My unit after reset won't either power up or down with the power button. Everything still functions.
I found that if I have the power charger connected it works fine, so I thought I had a weak battery. Got a new battery and same thing.
Don't know what's going on, but if you do a soft reset with the charger plugged in, it will reset fine.
Hope someone figures this out!
Be careful overconfiguring...

This might be the case, but I tried calling my phone when it SOD'd and didn't get a ring (it rang on the phone I was calling from.) I bet the problem is installed programs conflicting somehow, maybe kaisertweak will fix it in the future.
I can't guess what causes it tho...
For now, I'm running Kyphur's XDA Live and it has yet to happen.

I was running Kypher's Tilt XDA-Live v 1.0 (AWSOME) with several custom cabs including PocketCM and was getting the SOD every time. I wiped the phone and started adding all of my cabs one at a time and all of them are loaded back in except PocketCM and since then i have not seen a single SOD.
Tim
I've noticed that I get the SOD a LOT more when I have bluetooth active. Not sure if that's just coincidental but literally the only time I've noticed the SOD has been when I've had BT enabled.
Happens to me a few times a week very annoying.
Well, I don't do emails, use Windows live, have pocketCM, used my bluetooth, tried Google maps, or have any programs on my sd card (basically whatever you all mentioned above, I don't have or do!), and still get SOD. So I guess I start backtracking. Sigh...
