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.
I have the following little problem with WM6. Every time i press the "power button" on my device, WM6 returns to the today screen. What i really want is, that it stays in the last application which was open before i switched the device off.
This behavior is especially annoying when i use tools like "ScreenOff" which does nothing else but turns the screen off (the programs are running further). This is useful when it comes to mp3 listening or something like that. But when i press the power button to turn the screen on again there is no mp3 playing application but the today screen.
Can anyone tell me where to change that behavior?
whats the today timeout set to in settings->today->items ?
It is activated and set to 8hr.
You need to disable the password lock in Security settings. This will mean that a password will NOT be required to unlock the phone upon restart or after the pre-determined timeout.
With the password lock disabled, every time you power up your phone, it will be at the last application you had open.
I already have the password lock disabled. So that can not be the problem.
If you are using the today screen battery meter there is an option for it to do that. Annoyed the hell out of me till I disabled it.
Thank you, thank you!!!
You made my day
Hi,
It's happened to me twice in the first week already.
TouchFlo 3D 1.2.34591.1_1813.6
Crashed once on startup, and distored the whole screen. Have to do a soft reset.
It crashed again just then, on wake up there is an error about Manila (I believe that's the TouchFlo program name), then it distorted the whole screen again.
Has anyone had this problem?
Could this be a hardware problem?
Cheers
joymike123
i have the same problem!
I have the same problem too, although it happened to me only once. It had been charging all night and when I turned it on (still on the charger) the screen was distorted. The white leds around the dial were permanently lit.
I didn't get an error message. No button worked, including the standby button. I had to remove the battery to shut the device down. Anyone else with this problem?
Me too:
first time with ship wwe rom from the box
second and third with RUU_Raphael_HTC_WWE_1.90.405.1_Radio_Signed_Raphael_CRC_52.33.25.17_1.02.25.19_Ship.exe (this one is little better than original ship)
Usually the device crash after 1 or 2 days without soft resets
Same thing here with WWE_1.90.405.1!!!
Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange problem with my Tornado (i-mate SP5, WM6 Platinum Edition). Today it stopped working suddenly, I had to remove the battery. When rebooting, the i-mate sceen appears, then the HTC logo, then Nitrogenius' splashscreen, then a beep sounds, and afterwards the screen is black and nothing happens, no keys are responding. I can "switch off" the phone by long pressing of the power key. Reset with pressing the 2 soft keys and the starting key does not work, the phone starts until the splashscreen and afterwards the screen goes black. Strangely I can connect the phone with activesync, synchronize contacts and calendar and even explore the device with activesync's filemanager; and the battery is charging, too.
Any suggestions except reflashing?
Regards

Thanks for the hint, I tried, but unfortunately I seem to miss something. Could you elaborate a bit how you managed to switch on backlight.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: It worked! You made my day!
After pressing the keys you mentioned (and some others, too) and after rebooting again the backlight is on again. Thanks a lot!
I met the same problem in many cases and I found the culprit, it is tornadolowlight or tornadopowercontrol. while these appli are activating if I soft reset or by force restart (removing battery) then next startup will get a blank screen. But actually in this case the device is on and working only thing is its backlight is off. So, by using a torch light or simply using MyMobiler from a pc you can see the screen, and start that culprit appli then done
OR another thing I have done is I put shortkey for MultiFlashLight and whenever such situation happened I just press the shortkey and activated it and done
When my Sensation quick boots (that is, if it's enabled and the battery is not pulled), once it has booted the home button causes the screen to bug out. More specifically, it will flash several different screens seemingly chaotically and continually until I shut the screen off, and then the behavior ends when I do a normal reboot. I'm using LauncherPro if that matters, since it's related to the home button. Anyone else have this issue, or any idea how to further trouble shoot this?
