Hi,
I have this strange problem on my device...here's the description of the bug -
- When i have a phone call active, the start button goes dead...I cant click on the start button Even if i press the Win key, the start menu doesnt roll out.
- however, the close button and the volume icons are active
- when i try to tap and hold on the clock (to change between analog and digital), i get the circle of dots, but at the end i dont get the menu options for switching between the two modes.
- when i end the call, the start button is still disabled. If i have to re-enable it, I need to press the POWER button to turn off my device and turn it back ON, then it gets active again. However, this works only after i end the active call.
This started to happen ever since i installed one of the roms/radio roms (which i dont remember) and now, it happens on any ROM that i flash it with
I have no clue as to whats broken and this seriously gets on my nerves
Any suggestions or ideas?
thanks!
San
Damn, i take it that noone has had this problem.....anyone any suggestions which may help fix it?!

Did you try a DOC format?
It may help...

Hey Ranju!!!
Thanks for your response! How do i do a DOC level format???
Thanks so much for responding!
San
On a side note, your v6 rom is just amazing! I love it for its great stability on my device, and not to mention the perfect balance in terms of applications it comes with etc.!

Hi Dreamtheater,
Enter BootLoader, connect to pc with USB, load, MTTY and type "Task 28 55aa" this will restore DOC to original state.
You will loose all info on your device so back-up first.

Before you try the DOC format, try re-flashing the radio only rom. If you are using v 1.18 or 1.17, try 1.15 which is more stable.

I was running on R1.15...now i'm trying 1.17!
You suspect the problem to be with the radio? I guessed as much too...but it seemed like it happened two different radios and all the OS roms. Maybe something was screwed at DOC level, hopefully the doc format should work....
thanks!
San
Still no luck
I formatted the DOC and reinstalled everything, and it still fails...
All i need to do is, dial a number, shut the lid, re-open it and then try to click on the start button, doesnt respond
Everything below is functional.....
Sad :-(((
Why me??!
still no luck
@beasty, ranju
Any other suggestions? This is such a wierd problem. Is there something like a format of radio section on the device?

This is a very typical problem, I've no solid answer.
But lets try...
1. Run the CID unlock tool
2. Unplug the battery and plugin back after a few minutes
3. Start the device in BL
4. Flash the Radio 1.09, an original OS rom (i.e. from O2) and an empty extrom
5. Hard reset, screen align etc. (do not install anything)
6. Check the device status ....
Are you having the same problem?

thanks ranju,
let me give this a spin now....i'll post back after i try it. one thing though, when i tried a wm5 based rom, this issue didnt turn up.
one thing though....i actually cooked my own rom using a wm5 rom base and replaced the phone and outlook apps from wm6 and tried to run it. the phone module never powered on, and nothing worked....and went back to a wm6 rom after which. i'm not too sure if this has triggered these problems or a bad wm6 rom which i've flashed (i remember mo3ulla's rom which never worked for me and fubared my device completely....this could also be the cause....)
either ways, still hunting for a possible fix, and thanks so much for helping out! will post back bro....

Hi San,
If you have a history file in the root of your device can you post it for us please?
If not do you have access to Visual Studio and Platform Builder so that you can get a KITL output of this in action, then post the KITL for us?
Also, are you running any taskamanagers or additional apps?
Does the issue occur straight after a clean flash of a Vanilla Rom?
Cheers,
Beasty
@beasty
Here's history.txt attached....
I have visual studio, but i dont have platform builder....so i'm afraid thats not possible. If you could point me as to where i can get it, I could give it a shot.
Right now i'm going to radio 1.09, and checking if its a radio incompatibility issue...doubt it though.....
San
Oh dudes! I guess i figured out what's causing the problem, though i have no idea how to fix this!!!!!!
All this has started when my exchange service provider has migrated to exchange 2007 which makes it mandatory for me to have a password for my device. I have a 24 hr time out for the password, pretty much making the need for a password useless....
When i make a call and leave the lid open and continue to talk - no problems! the start button works as it should....
but the moment i close the lid and pull it open again, it seems like the display blanks and redraws (only happens if you have a password for your device), and thats when the start button gets disabled! Now, the only way out is to end the call, power off and then power on again......
This is confirmed, but how do i fix the problem? I should have a password, cant disable it.....and i always close the lid when i make a call! MS bug????
Thanks again ranju, beasty.....really appreciate it!
San

Who's there?
There are some known issues with password screen causing issues on some roms mate.
All I can suggest is dig through the forums to see if you can find a fix posted............I think J had a similar issue with one of his Roms and it was discussed in detail............
or flash to a different Rom and see if it is reproduceable.

It seems push notifications works in sleep mode in EDGE/3G for me.
I don't know if it was written before but this information may help you.
When you enter Samsung Apps, It installs an app called "Samsung Push Service". After that push notifications works perfectly.
I'm using JVKPE stock rom.
Thanks! Helped me alot!
That app keeps your phone awake, that's why notifications work.
This problem is now solved by XDA_bam in his latest kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355675.

Are your sure that It keeps the phone awake?
Not so sure, but you can check it. Install CPU Spy (it's free), then open it, press the menu button->Reset timers and turn the screen off. Leave it like this for a while, then turn the screen on and Refresh CPU Spy stats. See the percentage of Deep sleep, it should be above 80%.

I guess you are right that ruins battery and I guess this app is for pushing Samsung Apps's notifications... While the phone is awake notifications works. That explains everything.
So, Is there a way to solve this issue without a custom kernel? I'm quite happy with my phone and don't wanna plug it to the odin again.

No, unless you contact xda bam for his patch and u patch it to your stock kernel and flash it... just flash the kernel, its very simple

doesn't work to me
I have installed the both Samsung Push Service and the XDA_bam kernel. None of them appear to work. As soon as the phone enters the deep sleep mode, no notifications arrive.
Wi-Fi works just fine, Gmail notifications arrive even earlier than to my webmail interface. 2G/3G doesn't work properly (it only works a few minutes after the screen is turned off).
I'm on a rooted XXKPH, XDA_BAM kernel version 10.
Any ideas? I'm losing patience with this phone and timely emails are VERY important for me

You're still on XXKPH??? try XXKPQ or XXKPU along with BCK 10 rc 14.
And do not install samsung push service... that is meant for use with samsung ChatOn and is a battery hog.

Did as you said. Installed a clean XXKPE, then a clean XXKPQ and after that - the BCK rc14 (cache wiped, restarted the phone for about 5 times). No luck.
Few minutes after the screen is off notifications arrive, but later, when the phone is in the deep sleep mode, they either arrive considerably late (e. g. 10 minutes late), or do not arrive at all.
Any ideas? Thanks a million!

Hmmm... try with this kernel and report.. http://www.mediafire.com/?5rq4amddbhjdhub
Try over both 2G/3G and wifi.... and make sure you set wifi sleep policy to never...
also if you are using gmail, open the app and go to settings... go to account settings and uncheck the notify once option.
Also make sure Juicedefender and other such apps are not running.

First of all, thank you for being so helpful.
I did everything as you told. However, just as before, WiFi notifications appear to be working constantly, but the 2G / 3G notifications stop working after a while (I suppose when the phone goes to deep sleep).
So until now, I've tried the B10, B10 rc10 and B10 rc14. None of them appear to fix the issue.
I'm also using Launcher Pro, but I suppose this is not related.
EDIT: I've posted about this issue in the XDA_bam's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355675&page=36), so maybe the guys there may have other ideas. Thanks again for all your help.

wow.. There's no a script that fix this? or an app that let the wifi on in deep sleep mode? I am trying all type of things, wipe cache, dalvik cache, fix permissions.. Apk's, trying reeboting, removing the wifi cover..Factory reset and nothing works.. Maybe reinstalling the radio? There's some people that dont have any issues with the wifi, and i dont explain that
In VIPERS Rom there is a tweak to disable HTC SMARTSYNC (prevent wifi/data from disabling at night). See if it helps!
UPDATE: Seems like you already tried it! Aren't there specific settings in the app for notifications? try the fusion kernel it states about resolving HTC wifi disable issue! My phone's wifi reception greatly improved with the kernel!

this is my problem for 2month TOO
i cant find answer and everyone in around say your phone and htc is a bad brand and ...
so i can't answer for which reason this happend
realy big problem for appZ like What's App
I'm just going to try out lowest screen brightness & never turn off screen and after that the advanced wifi lock & etting you know which works better on battery life. Tho im sure advanced wifi lock tops the other method.
I also I have the same problem, I put a link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34967017 # post34967017 to try to find help, but from what I see, is difficult to solve.
Still seems that advanced wifi lock is best solution right now. When i get 100% charge level i shall try how fast it drains the battery
But the question is why only a few phones have this problem and why a app like advanced wifi lock can fix the problem???????
Mysterious! I tried out different custom roms and radios and the problem was always the same.
Maybe one of the developers of a custom rom can help?

I know this is probably only 1 setting but I can't find it.
What I ment was that when I'm connected to a WiFi I'll only get messages from Whatsapp for example when I'm turning

Is this an energyoption ? Didn't found anything till yet.

Your English is better than my Spielergesprechan.
Go to the battery manager, then scroll down until you see Whatsapp (for example), and ensure you don't have `restrict background data` set for it.
In WiFi advanced settings there is an option to set if you want WiFi always on, or always on if connected to charger or off with screen off. I'm guessing its set to turn off with screen off.

Guess this was my mistake, it was set to "None ( Higher Datavolume )"
Nevermind, even with this Setting it doesn't work..
I could record my screen ( for example if I get a mail or sth ) and show it to you if needed
The messages only arrive if I unlock it.
I'm an IT-Specialist so I think I'm not that dumb :|
I really don't get what's the problem :s

Got the solution. I had some other energysettings on.
For example: I had WLAN-Energyoptions turned on while my Stamina-Mode was off.
Or my stamina Mode was on and my WLAn-Energyoptinos were off.
Ridiculous..
