Greetings!
As mentioined in the first post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418150&highlight=issue+list I have encountered similar problems.
I own my TP for 3 days (2 nights) and on both mornings after being charged over the night the TP was absolutely unresponsive and only to be awakened by a soft reset. It couldn't receive calls, and the alarm of course didn't work also (so I missed one this morning - but wasn't late at work) Anyway, this is a serious issue to me, since it makes the phone absolutely unreliable. And I am not in favor of doing regular hard resets by the way ...
Help on this would be really appreciated.
Greetings, hugo
Mine does this everyday, but have you tried pressing one of the buttons like the home button, I know nothing happens for a minute but then it comes back to life with out the need for a soft reset
Haven't tried ...
Well, I haven't tried pressing a button and waiting, but this is not exactly the behavior, to expect from a phone of this kind. You see this wouldn't solve the Problem of not being reachable by phone and missing appointments. In fact I don't know, that how long I was unreachable on phone and in my profession this isn't just disturbing but unacceptable.

I've had the same problem, not every time it's charged, but enough times to be a problem. I've switched off TF3D (Start, Settings, Today, Items, untick TouchFLO 3D, tick some standard items).
The problem has gone. Of course, so has TouchFLO.
Cheers,
Graham.

This could be of course a last resort, but TouchFlo is quite nice to use (although I cannot get TF to use PocketInformant as calendar app, although it is defined as standard - the original MS calendar app must be hardcoded somwhere ...). And of course as TF is one of the main features of this phone a great amount of it's costs are caused by that software. So if I couldn't use it, the phone would loose a lot of it's value.
Isn't there a sort of event log in wm6.1 to see, which event crashes the system?

I get a similar problem in that I lose all sound overnight, so I too miss my alarms. I also get no sound through the earpiece so, although it vibrates when it is supposed to be ringing, I cannot speak on the phone as I cannot hear the other person, and it seems they cannot hear me either, so it obviously affects the microphone as well. I have done a hard reset but it still happens, so it's definitely a bug with TF3D. I know this because if I try to play one of my music tracks using the music tab in TF3D, it plays for about 5-6 seconds (obviously with no sound) and then it crashes TF3D and restarts itself, which sorts the sound issue out. No need for a soft reset here but it's still unacceptable as my alarms are useless, and for £500+ I don't expect such a stupid flaw in the software. Hopefully, a ROM upgrade will sort this out, but when that will be is anyone's guess at the moment.

I think that's what we have to wait for. Until then, it's a choice between bland-but-working or cute-but-unreliable.
have you tried any of these little mem resident babys to get your ram back and kill bad things while it sleeps

Hmm...I'm just wondering why not more people are reporting this? Anyone NOT experiencing this problem?
Not till now I didn't
Using Stock ROM
I am more and more convicee, that TF3D is quite a buggy piece of software (Aussen hui - innen pfui!). Additionaly to the described above, I got a "broken glass" effect yesterday.
I sure do hope, that HTC releases a ROM update soon, although up until now the Touch Pro isn't even listed on HTC's german support pages.
Maybe I'll give SPB mobile shell a try ...

Having same problem, not all the time though.

I have the same problem...
A few times already... even this morning.
TP is totally unresponsive and had to soft reset it to get it back alive.
ROM 1.90.401.1 WWE
Radio 1.02.25.19
Protocol 52.33.25.17U
I've had the HTC Touch Pro for about three weeks now, and since then it's crashed or become unusable at least once a day. I do not believe for one second that these issues are restricted to my handset, and comments on this forum back that up.
Problems I've experienced:
1. TouchFlo 3D screen corruption - "broken glass effect". The TouchFlo interface appears fragmented and split - it continues to function, but is unwatchable. The OS and other applications are unaffected. Cause unknown. Cured by soft reset.
2. Complete screen corruption + freeze. The entire screen gets a still image that looks like 'white noise' - random black and white pixels. The device is completely locked. Cause unknown. Cured by soft reset.
3. Device fails to wake up. Screen has been powered down, either having been switched off manually, or by timeout. Device later fails to respond to Power button. Happens occasionally without warning, and frequently (almost 100%) during overnight charge. Note - leaving the Touch Flo interface on 'Programs' tab (i.e. not 'Home') during charge seems to alleviate this (I don't yet have enough evidence to back up this claim).
I like this phone and its touch interface, but am pretty disgusted by the reliability issues, which I would guess are largely connected to the TouchFlo 3D code and/or hardware drivers. HTC really need to sort this out.
I've had the alarm fail on two mornings so far, needed soft reset.
I'm going to try disabling touchflo I think. Be nice to have pocketbreeze running again anyway.
Just out of curiousity
Do you have your phone set to turn off the screen even if it is charging? I don't have the Pro... yet, but with my 6700 I used to have to ensure the screen stayed on over night if I wanted to have a chance at the phone actually being responsive in the morning so the alarm would go off. Otherwise it would be as your Pro's seem to be doing. Will not turn on or anything until a soft reset. (It is not a fix by any means, I am just curious if it is still the same patern.)
I never charge over night simply to avoid it being charged for 8 hours straight. I keep a charge kit at work, and charge during the day as needed. In less than an hour, I get full battery. Then, I sit it next to my bed at night with no failed alarms.
Maybe it doesn't like the long charges.
I'm trying DCS's ROM now to see if it makes any difference at all. I'll report back in a couple of days. Maybe if I didn't have to charge it so often it wouldn't be so bad!
Wether screen is on or not, it doesn't make a difference. (Why should it on a working phone?)
I sincerely hope, that if those strange behaviours are gone in non stock cooked roms, that there will be some in German language as well ...
I am looking forward to another night!
By the way, SPB Mobile Shell didn't quite meet my expectations. (eg. it has also the sucking MS calender hard coded)
Experienced the "non-responsive in the morning" problem 2 times in 3 days, without the phone being charged. Both times I had the white noise effect on the screen.
Turned off TF3D (I like the phone more without it, actually) and the problem didn't occur in the last 5 days since I did this. It's most likely a TF3D related issue and it will prolly be fixed by the next update.

Hello Guys,
I'm new to this forum but an old member from the IPAQ Hx4700 good times.
Here's the issue and I don't know if others experienced the same.
When I set an alarm into the built in Calendar, the alarm won't wake the device.
Even more strange, when I wake it from sleep, the time showed is like it was when the device went into sleep. It takes about a minute to refresh. Looks like the internal clock is stopping when going into sleep???
I think this is why the alarm doesn't come on, because the clock is not moving on?
Any ideas, do you experienced the same?
BTW, I talked to Viewsonic support today and a some new patch and enhencement are coming in 2 - 3 weeks.
Thanks for helping.
Charles
Please.... :/
I've encountered a problems/bugs with the main Sense Home Screen Clock:
1)
Very occasionally when I resume/power on the phone, the clock does not correctly roll over to the actual time, it still shows the last time that the phone was at when the phone was previously powered on, simply moving from one home screen to another or pressing the power button a couple of times resolves this.
This has happened twice now, that I've noticed....in the last fortnight, since I've had the phone, as I don't wear a watch this is extremely annoying, and the reason why I've happened to notice this.
Fortunately I've not yet missed a plane/train/bus or engagement! But surely its only a matter of time (no pun intended!)
Has anyone else noticed this? this must be a Sense software problem and therefore hopefully fixable.
2)
The second is not so much a bug but a cosmetic annoyance, its the way that it the clock always rolls over hours and minutes to the actual time, rather than simply saving the animation and showing the real time to start with, I know on my Diamond2 with Sense in WM6.5 I applied a fix to stop it doing this which simply removed the animation, any ideas if this is possible on DesireS with Android.
As someone without a watch I don't want to wait for animation to complete each time, I want to know what the time is straight away
Thanks
Perhaps you may want to try Beautiful Widget.
It almost had the same clock as the HTC Sense, minus the animation.

Hi,
I've only had my Nexus S for a couple of days and loving it so far, but this morning I had a problem. Here's how it happened:
When my alarm clock went off I hit the snooze button and turned the screen off, went back to sleep. 10 minutes later the alarm went off again later as expected and so I hit snooze again and turned the screen off like before. 5 minutes later I decided to get up as otherwise I would have been late for work, so I go to my phone to disable the alarm as otherwise it would be buzzing when I'm in the shower and the missus would get annoyed. The problem however was that I couldn't unlock the screen! I was jabbing at the power button repeatedly to get it to come on but no response at all. I ending up removing the battery. I should also add that my phone was plugged in a the time as I'd left it charging over night.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I will try and replicate the problem. Here's how my phone is at the moment:
All my homescreens are bare apart from the main one where I have a 4 shortcuts, google search bar and the analogue clock widget. Apps I currently have installed are: Ebay official, facebook official, Twitter official, 3G watchdog, Fruit Ninja, Angy Birds, Live Holdem, Google maps, Gmail Unread Count, Movies, TV Guide.
I'm hoping that this problem was just a one-off.
Thanks
sort of same here. i bought it last thursday and today i can't use the lower part of the screen, right where the phone, menu and browser icons are. Space bar won't work when writing text, etc.
If anyone knows how to fix, pls share
The device is stock 2.3.3, i9023XXKB1, didn't root.

I have been using Nexus S for 4 months now, and I do have random reboots once in a while. Did the phone well work after the reboot?

I never had responsive problem on my phone other than the phone just freezing... Maybe theres something wrong, go ask Samsung.
unfortunately i also have such a problem now! since this morning my screen does not respond on touch correctly...it is very hard to unlock the screen (have to do it very slowly, bar is jumping like crazy) and after that it seems like the screen is reacting even on any reflection, suddenly the status bar is coming down, if i am in a menu, it always scrolls down and up...damned, that sux!
any ideas what i could do? or is this a case for samsung support?
ps: i did not flash anything in the last days, i even restored my nandbackup, that i made after 2.3.4-update (no custom kernel, no nothing), but that did not change anything...
Hi,
It's been the fourth time my LG Optimus 7 (NoDo) changes the time and date by itself, without any reason.
This is weird, coz' "automatic time setting" is disabled in the settings.
This is a very annoying bug, especially for appointments and alarm clock.
Anyone else has this bug?
Thanks
This has happened to me just the once - it is really annoying.
Is the phone just changing to some arbitrary date/time, or is it trying to correct to the local time while you are visiting a different time zone?
I'm curious, because I have never seen this problem on my Focus, but I have automatic updates turned on. My phone does (correctly) update whenever I change time zones, and for DST, but that's it.

For instance, today, my phone was on my desk. 11:30AM in Paris - France.
Suddenly, the time changed to 2:20AM and date to 05/22/2011 (instead od 05/20/2011).
I did not touch the phone. Network is good. Automatic time adjustement is disabled.
It's the 4th time it happens. I noticed it is not arbitrary: I mean the date and time are not dramatically different from the real one (date did not change to December 2012 for instance, only 2 days difference).
But it is not a time adjustement, as the difference can be 2 days for instance.
Hmmm... You don't by any chance live in a TARDIS, do you?
Seriously though, I haven't ever even heard of this problem before you mentioned it. Could it be an LG-specific thing? Either way, I would say it is justifiable reason to get a warranty repair/replacement.
One other question, though. Is there a reason you have automatic time adjustment turned off? Maybe turning it on would help.
I've had the same problem. It's totally random. I called LG (mine is an Optimus 7) and my provider and after some time on the phone with both, neither could tell me what the cause of the problem was. Oddly enough it hasn't happened in some time now.

Thanks for ur answer.
I disabled the automatic time adjustment on purpose, after the first time the time changed by itself. I hoped it would help.
But it changed nothing. Time is still changing...
I guess you should open a support ticket with Microsoft as it seems software related issue.
I have the same issue with my Omnia 7 after doing a combo update (7390+7392).
This didn't happen before that.
Quite frustrating as I'm using my phone as an alarm clock. I'd hate being late at work because of that.
Hi all,
I've also encountered the same issue as OP. Same phone as well. Did exactly the same thing with time settings and even did a hard reset but still returns.
I've noticed it happens when I'm listening to music, it would have either a small pause (which means I know the time has changed) or stops music altogether (need to reboot phone). And with every time those events occur, the time jumps into the future.
I've had this phone sent for repairs because it stopped turning on, which they may have replaced the board.
People still having these issues?
Also by chance, did you guys did the chevronwp7 no brand hack to get nodo? I did and also rolled back to original carrier rom.
Sounds like you all are using an LG phone, so maybe this is some specific driver or hardware feature that LG has included onto their devices.
Has never happened to me on my HD7. I would never buy an LG phone so I don't know what they do to their devices.
HTC... never issues with times and/or dates.
