I'm using 1.40WWE and 1.12 Radio ROM.. From time to time my phone can't get out of standby mode, meaning that I can turn it on with the power button. Only option is to reset it and then everything will be back to normal.
I can't tell when and how this would happen and it's driving me nuts... Alarm or phone calls can't wake it up either. Anyone else seem similar problem?
Happens to me from time to time as well. Have tried previous O2 ROM as well as the latest O2 Asia ROM. No idea what causes it but I have heard of others having the same problem too.
Really infuriating when you've missed lots of calls because the unit has been hung for several hours.

Anyone else experience this? I will be on a call, and suddenly, I get disconnected. I look at the phone, only to see that the phone radio has been completely shut off. This has happened to me about 6-7 times over the past couple of weeks.
Each time, I was not using my BT, so I am wondering if I am hitting something with my ear. The radio never shuts off when not in use.
Any thoughts?

Does this happen everywhere? Try upgrading your radio.

What rom are you using?
I'm using dutty's v3 rom, with 1.27.12.31 radio.
I had great signal.
I am using AT&T's original ROM. I am not having a signal issue (though it could always be better).
It hasn't happened often enough to recognize a pattern. It is one thing to have a dropped call, but for the radio to turn off seems a little odd.
I am running stock O2 WM6 ROM on an O2 XDA Stellar with a whole host of applications (Batterystatus, SPB Pocket Plus, phone suite, weather, mobile shell, insight, time, Calendar++, HTC Task Manager, Large Menu, are "running" (ie today plugin or might have started) and I think I killed most other things before I went to bed) and my Kaiser has recently started to crash and I don't know why.
This morning I went to check my phone (which was on charge) and it wouldn't turn on (must have died between 4am and 8am). I hit the power button, then other buttons (just in case), tapped the screen, etc.... and get nothing. Finally whipped out the stylus, prodded the reboot button and waited for it to come back to me. This is the second or third time this has happened over the last two weeks, the other time I remember clearly was when I pulled it out my pocket to find it similarly unresponsive.
When it is restarted it boots happily and everything seems to be running/working fine, but it is kind of concerning that it completely locked up in the first place while I was not using it.
Does anyone know of a way this can happen? Are there any known conflicts that can cause it to lock up? Does WM keep logs somewhere to help track down problems?
i'm also having the same exact problem with my tilt. today i got to work late cause it crashed somewhere along the night and the alarm didn't ring. i woke up 10 minutes before my start time at work. lol. third time it happens in 3 weeks.
I have a Tilt, WM 6.0, and stock ROM and I had the exact same problem... drove me nuts. Have you enabled 'Wifi Standby Mode' using KasierTweak? I enabled that option and when my phone went to sleep with WiFi turned on, it would occasionally crash and refuse to wake up without hitting the reset button.
After disabling 'Wifi Standby Mode' the problem went away. If you have KasierTweak you'll see it listed under the 'Data' entry.
Just a thought. Hope that helps.

Nope, was disabled
Am thinking about it and when I was using Garmin for GPS last it rebooted on it's own and I can't get it to get a GPS lock any more. Am wondering if I have actually managed to break the hardware or if this is a symptom of a bigger problem.
Not really wanting to wipe the device, but it will happen when O2 release their ROM update
Thanks for your thoughts, was thinking people were just ignoring me (it's not iPhone/GUI related, so wasn't expecting many replies).
I had the same problem occuring every night, and this was driving me nuts as well.
I've tried many things, like configuring email updates only once a day, disabling wifi while asleep, removing other software that might try to connect to the internet regularly (weather, RSS...), rewrite completely the PhoneAlarm profile schedule parameters
Nothing worked.
I finally removed the PhoneAlarm night switch schedule, and has no problem since.
I'm not sure of this because the parameters has worked fine many month.
Could this help someone there ?
This sounds like the problem many have described as sleep of death or SOD for short. Might give a quick search on sleep of death and see what you can come up with. I cured mine by stopping activesync and comm manager before putting it to sleep.
hope this helps...james
Guys I think you may be Describing the "Sleep of Death." Here is a Thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339792&highlight=Sleep+Death
It is also covered by another thread which has popped up
Standby of Death (SOD) with the Tytn II from Kaiser General (I joined that thread here).
If anyone wants to reply to this thread, please read and use both/either of these two threads (and if mods want to lock this one, that's fine by me).
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to change SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
I can't get the phone outta sleep mode (I think it is sleep mode), where the screen goes black while being carried, about 50% I can tap the power button and it awakes, all is fine. BUT the half I gotta remove the battery or sim and then press power on button.
Any ideas?
Also how can we run an AV on the phone, my comp don't see it as a drive....
Thanks!
SJ
sleep settings are off.........any ideas?

Please provide full details of which phone, which ROM/Radio/SPL other software installed etc as these things may help others to recognise what you're experiencing otherwise it's a bit like saying why won't my car start with no other details provided.... so some more detail will help.
When I was running the latest UK HTC WWE WM 6.1 ROM on my HTC Branded TyTN II I sometimes found it took longer than usual to come out of sleep so thinking I'd not pushed the button hard enough, I pushed it again - only to find the screen would briefly flash as it came out of powersaving mode and then it went black again as it went back in - could this be whats happening and how long are you waiting after pushing the button?
Sorry, I got an HTC TyTNII. ROM 1.81.415.4wwe, ROM Date 10/29/2007, Radio 1.27.15.32, Protocol 22.51.88.13H.
Most of the time the sleep mode ends easily, but if I leave the phone to charge it sometimes will give me the issues........

Funny, that happens to me quite often too. I have Dutty's WM6.1 WWE installed. Also I have the slide2unlock installed on it. The radio version is 1.58.25.17. Even when I don't have the phone on charge at times it does it. I have another AT&T Tilt that only has the Slide2Unlock on it the rest is factory, but sometimes I see that does it also.. Another thing I also experience is that sometimes it'll just restart by itself, but maybe that's to clear up memory or something?

Search for 'Standby of death'. There is a while thread where people are discussing it. I htink mine may have been caused by some offending software, as I get it much less now once I have uninstalled it.
Thanks kevin!

nlel, please stop going to every "Standby of Death" thread and adding your answer to it. Adding it to one thread is enough, three or more is just overkill, especially when the threads you've been posting to have been dead for months. Thanks,

Ok for almost a week now the phone screen goes black and doesn't respond any more. the only thing that I could do is a SR. this gets annoying because it happens always at night and I use my phone as alarm. but when its doesn't respond any more the alarm won't ring.
It isn't the Rom because i tried other roms but the problem is still there. HR doesn't fix it.
could it be the radio? i have 1.16 now.
does anyone has the same problem as me or does anyone know what the problem is?
This problem seems to be more and more prevalent
Dear buds,
I've bought a TD2 with WinMO 6.5 lately. I had lots of bugs and fixed them all but one...
After some time from bootup (after 1 or 2 hours) the sound of phone goes off without a reason. No sound from speaker, headset or volume control buttons. However everything goes well instead sound. Phone vibrates when get call, notifications and alarms vibrate without sound etc. My only solution to get back the sounds is soft reset. After soft reset everything gets fine...
I think this is a sound driver issue but... If someone to help or show the way on forum please help (because I couldn't find same issue on search)
Thanks in advance.
If there aren't any other programs causing this by adjusting your volume levels, It may be a driver issue and you'll probably have to hard reset.
This is a common issue when flashing a new ROM without hard resetting after.
Dear Bruce,
Thanks for solution suggestion.
I hard reset three times until I bought the phone but nothing changed. I'm using the official shipped ROM and I didn't flash any other ROMs.
Extra programs list:
Klaxon
SKTools Lite
Garmin Mobile XT (Because my Copilot runs only after first installing then crashes forever)
Sportypal
Google Translator
Could that happen because of wrong flashing at factory or service etc.? I mean, this phone is a Vodafone version.
In Turkey, Vodafone signal often goes off and usually my phone gets stuck when the signal is off. Could this be the reason for unloading driver?
The digits of my phone are here:
ROM version: 2.16.468.4 (67041) WWE
ROM Date: 11.12.09
Radio Version:4.49.25.17
The fact that it works for a short while after soft reset perplexes me.
You have verified your volume is on when the sound turns off? (Sorry I have to ask this)
Any other programs running at the time is stops?
GPS software can conflict with system volume and backlight, so maybe make sure Garmin is set to dynamic settings.
Other than that, I really have no suggestions as a hard reset has not helped.
Perhaps hard reset, test for a while and see if it fails w/o any programs. Then install one prog at a time until you find the cause.
There is a slight possiblity that it was a bad flash and the driver is corrupt, which would mean reflashing the stock ROM.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
Dear Bruce
Sorry for very late answer for your last post
It's sure the phone volume is on
I've been examining the phone for one week and tried some possibilities and still no way for the bug
First I hard reseted again, then didn't install any other programs. After 6 hours, the same issue occured.
I uninstalled CoPilot (which I didn't use after hard reset) then soft reset and wait, just only some hours later, the sounds went off again.
After several soft resets, I decided to play music and monitor if it happens. Then BINGO! The sound went off just after poor GSM signal. When the phone lost the signal, it temporarily locked itself. After 2 or 3 issue, the phone sounds went off.
I think, phone starts a search after signal loss, then it tries to execute rest after 10 or 30 seconds either the signal comes back or not. After some trials it cannot reload sound .dll and sounds lock forever. But after soft reset, everything gets fine again.
To be sure about signal loss, I took the phone in flight mode for one day and wait for the same bug and the second BINGO came Phone didn't show the same bug.
After all, I reflashed the official ROM of TD2 and tried the same things but nothing changed. It's sure that the bug is not due to the wrong flashing the ROM.
For now, I'm sure that the bug occurs because of poor GSM signal of Vodafone in my region. So the question comes
Is there anything (such as a registry tweak or vice versa) to make the phone not to lock itself while loosing the signal and searching? Or do I have a way to increase the signal sensitivity?
Thanks for the worthful answers.
Regards
