The phone won't turn on when I tap the little 'x' - it (usually) offers me the 'Turn Phone On' option, but all I get is the vaguest flicker on the screen. I haven't been able to use it for days now.
Please has anyone got any ideas?

Hi there,
I had the same problem! Exactly the same!
I ordered a new SIM-Card from O2-germany but the Problem was not solved!
Then I tried to upgrade the Phone to Windows Mobile aka PPC2003.
The first time I started the the phone worked again!
I tried to use the old SIM again an that one worked, too.
But I have to say: Its better, but not perfekt. Sometimes (when I forget to charge the battery) The SIM is not noticed again!
And: I'm not able to connect so O2 at the moment. T-Mobile D1 works at this moment but I have to use O2 when I am at University, so this is not optimal!
But there is an upgrade for the RadioStack (the phonepart in your XDA) available at the O2 website! I will try that some time later on.
Greets,
Timo
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...

Hello!
I tested some WM6 ROMs and I always had the same problem. When I put my Wizard into the cradle of my PC it keeps on waiking up. I switch it of and 2 minutes later it switches on again, starts synconisation and stays on till I switch it of again. I never had this problem with WM5 ROM (I only tested 2) and I had this problem with all WM6 ROMs. I tested TNT WM6.1 19199 v2, Pansen WM6.0, German WM6.1 and a last ROM (WWE) but I cannot remember the name. There is only one german guy I know of who has the same problem. The Wizard does not wake up when charging with the PSU. It only happens when connected via USB to the PC.
I use WindowsXP SP2 and AS 4.5.
Do you have the same problem? Is there a workaround? Please help! This way it takes so much longer to charg the battery.
Thank You!

Hello!
I have also observatet the same problem whit various WM6/WM61-ROM's.
How cyberdyne has writen: every all 2 or 2,5 Minutes the device is wake up und starts automatical AS, although there are no changed datas or other things for forward/sync.
So i have check in the registry some entrys for timers or swithes, there are tax this. I have only found few entrys, there i mean, the are for tax the AS-WakeUp.
Some times i have think, i have found the right entry. But when i allow one Sync and switch the device off, in the follow the device get's the old problem: after switching of the device automatical wakes up all 2,5 minutes and start AS (after AS the device remains switch on).
In WM5 the device "sleeps" for USB-Charging, if the device is switching off. I will have the same effect by WM6/WM6.1-OS.
Who knowes the registry entrys, there are tax the follow AS-WakeUp's and AS-start's after the first "connect-sync" wenn connect to USB?
Greetings Frank
No answer?!
What does that mean: Noone reads this thread or noone has this problem?
had never seen this before~
are we germans the only ones, they are have this problem?
If it be so, so must it be a problem by german keyboard-change-programs... But keyboard and AS are different things!

Hi!
I have a TP with a WM 6.5 ROM and I installed the application SmartLock 1.7b.
It's a great application and it makes me save a lot of battery!
The only problem is that when TOMTOM is running it locks me the screen after a few secs, since there is activity (just driving) and then suspend the device (and when I turn it back on I loose signal).
I uninstalled Smartlock and there is no problem... So, I was wondering if you have similiar problems with TOMTOM and Smartlock... and how to solve it (I already went to TT preferences and changed the safety ones)!
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Yes, it's painfull ;x

same here with tess 3.9 rom. In fact, since using 6.5 rom, the problem with voice clipping off before the end of the message (usually skipping all distances information) is gone, without even using the workaround that was needed with 6.1 ( silent wav/mp3 looping in background). Very happy about the 6.5 upgrade regarding TomTom (i do not know if the official 6.5 solves the issue, but I guess so)
I know exactly what TS means; I had the same on my Topaz. It is even been send back to Brussels (repair center Europe) and it came back OK. After a week or so, while driving with tomtom: screen blanks. I posted several threads about this on XDA, no solutions however. The screen went blank/phone suspend mode, no matter what settings I used in Energy settings. Even unchecking the boxes (so the phone should stay on, no matter what) didn't help: suspend mode after 30 seconds. After 30 minutes on external power.
After I upgraded to WM6.5, the problem is over.
