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.

Someone help if possible! My GPS on my Tilt was working perfectly with Google Maps and LiveSearch... but today i turned it on and it's locking onto a position about 500+ miles away. I have VisualGPS installed and it now is only locking onto a max of 3 satellites (but sees many more satellites) when it used to lock onto about 6+! It also thinks i'm at 57,000 feet and somewhere over the gulf of mexico when i'm currently in south carolina on a trip! I tried soft resetting about 5x and ran QuickGPS a few times as well... nothing has fixed it. Any suggestions?
did you install anything new or do anything major like settings or drop the phone?
Nope...it was working fine one day, and not working the next... phone wasn't dropped and no new software was installed and no settings were changed. Not sure if the chip is malfunctioning or not...but it does lock onto a location... the wrong location.... but it is consistently putting me in somewhere in alabama at the moment
Hi UTZorro
I can't really help you with your problem but I did notice on mine the other day that the satalites would drop in and out quickly and never lock onto more that 3. It was a very clear day with clear view of the sky. The co-ords were out by quite a long way because of it. The DOP was never very good. I restarted and it seemed to solve the problem but it wasn't a good sign. I know I hadn't dropped mine and the quickGPS data was current.
I also noticed that the voice in tomtom was all over the place.. I had to reinstall tomtom to fix the problem and put the voice on the main memory. At the time I thought it might be my 4GB SDcard but now I'm not so sure.

Hi
Have you tried leaving it on for several minutes? GPS on these sorts of devices make several assumptions as they try to lock on quickly so you don't have to wait, sometimes that initial lock is wrong due to these assumptions. Either turn it on and leave for it around 10-15 minutes in clear view of the sky or try running QuickGPS, that may help.
I've had this happen now and again, just leaving it for several minutes to get a "proper" fix and all is well.
Regards
Phil
I saw the same problem, i was driving and according to my gps i was going 485 km/hr and i was "flying": above the sea. kept the copiliot log as thought it was funny
I rebooted my kaiser and it went back to normal
This randomly happens to me also on a Stock HTC rom. Not too often though so not a major problem.
Reboot fixes it ...
I had the same problem last week. I Soft reset the device and removed the battery before it booted back up. After about a minute I put it back in and it was OK again.
happens to me as well, soft reset solves the problem... also if you have your GPS app on your SD card removal fixes this as well, very peculiar problem

I second this: I had strange behavior after a lockup and it took several tries with 10minute or so open-sky accesses to clear up:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1650269&postcount=31
Go sit on a park bench for 15 minutes or so with the GPS on and open in an app which shows the satellites in view - like TomTom/Mapopolis/whatever and see if you don't eventually get back up to the 7+ birds you normally get.
Good luck!

recently this error has been happening more frequently to me with TomTom, restarting doesnt seem to fix it all the time anymore... does anyone know what causes this? It constantly showes me somewhere in Ontario, Canada about 500 miles from where I actually am.
Is there a way to disable and re-enable the GPS chip via software similar to what a hard-reset does but without the 30 seconds+ downtime associated with the hard-reset?
This is being caused by Quick GPS. If you have not connected to the internet via Activesync for a while then when you first start your internal GPS or lose sat coverage it diverts to the last stored Quick GPS data for the most prominant 3 sats (they show up as full signal when you look a gps data in you mapping SW) that should be in your area.
Either sync at least every 5 days (on a PC with T'internet connection) or disable quick GPS and be patient for a lock.
Hope this helps.
Hi
I had the same problem, but it seems I found a solution.
I'm not 100% shure, but for what I remember I had this problem very often. like every time I was starting navigation it was wrong, so I had to soft reset - Everthing was fine - till next time when it was wrong again - and soft reset and again, again and agian.
It was so annoying - then on a Polish forum a guy wrote somethign about downloading quickGPS data (what he read here) and quickGPS was the solution, but for me it was to disalbe every sync function - because I set to sync evertime it was possible I believie that was it.
Now I'm using kaiser for about a week and testing it 2-3 times a day. and it never failed. I'm not 100% shure it was it - but it looks fine now.
So after a few days after I originally posted with this problem, it noticed it had spontaneously fixed itself after my flight back to town and I pinpointed what fixed it. (keep in mind i have stock Tilt Rom, QuickGPS was updated at the time (about 25x to be exact) and I had even hard resetted and it didn't fix it)... but here's what did fix it interestingly enough:
So, for some reason, if you have flight mode enabled on the phone, then you turn on the GPS (which I admit I did while bored midflight wondering how high up we were) it MAY get messed up like what happened to me. The only way to fix it is by putting the phone back in flight mode turning the GPS back on and then turning it off again and re-exiting flight mode. I have no idea why flight mode and the gps would be related in this siutation (it makes no sense to me)... I didn't believe it myself until I repeated this experiment twice!!! So, i'm posting this for reference to anyone who may have the same problem in the future if their phone was in flight mode and their GPS got activated and then subsequently messed up! Any thoughts?
The following (long!) post was originally posted at the PointUI forum, but I thought it best to cross post it here. I've tried to organize it as best as I can and appreciate those with the patience to read it and the good will to offer help.
------------------------
My AT&T Tilt (HTC TyTN II) is basically out of commision right now, and I can only track the source of the problems back to the latest update of PointUI (v1.02b, Feb. 4th 2008), as I've done nothing else with the phone since. However, seeing as how I've uninstalled PointUI and the problems persist (and are getting worse), I suspect a virus is afoot, or some other lovely problem.
Since the update, I've experienced the same problems as everyone else on this PointUI thread (system hangs on "running apps" screen and randomly), but in addition to that, several other things. I am running the stock AT&T ROM without the bloatware. These have been my symptoms for the most part since then:
Periodically, animations between menus would slow down considerably and sometimes freeze for a moment, even when I had nothing else running in the background. This would happen for any menu: the cog, the bottom bar, favorites, etc.
The touchscreen would stop working (usually, only within PointUI). This usually happened when animations would slow down, but it would also occur alone, randomly. The hardware buttons would still work during touchscreen failure, usually, but sometimes they wouldn't, and I would have to soft reset.
Sometimes, the power button wouldn't work, and I would press it several times thinking I didn't do it hard enough the first few times. After ~20 seconds, the screen would turn itself off and on. When the screen was on, it would not responding to touches.
The PointUI top bar that appears when using any application would, at random, not work. By this I mean when I would tap it, it's like it wasn't even there -- the Start menu would come down, or the volume control, date/time, etc. depending on where I tapped it. Also, the top right button (red X, or the check mark) would not display correctly in programs or the today screen (a check mark when it should be an X, etc.), randomly, and would not be responsive.
Yesterday (Feb. 23rd), things took a turn for the worse. Here's what happened:
When I started up Tom Tom, the screen went completely non-responsive. Only buttons would work.
After exiting Tom Tom (in an attempt to restart it), the touchscreen would continue not to work, both in PointUI and regular old Windows.
Shortly following this, buttons would stop working, and the entire phone would freeze up. Couldn't turn the touchscreen on and off. I did a soft reset.
During startup, when it showed the AT&T logo, the screen dimmed itself to the lowest brightness setting (it never does this). It would remain this way all the way through the bootup process and into Windows as well, never getting any brighter. Even after going to the backlight settings and increasing the brightness, the screen would get brighter, but would never turn off.
Once in Windows, the touchscreen was completely non-responsive. Buttons would still work, but everything would move really slow.
The screen would never turn itself off. Also, when pressing buttons, the screen would never get any brighter.
After mashing the buttons a bit (in anger, yes, but lightly), the touchscreen alignment application came up, asking me to touch the screen in a few places. This worked.
Then, a call came in. The screen froze during the animation for the notification of an incoming call. Also, the phone started to ring, but within 1 second stopped. However, it would vibrate nonstop (my phone is setup to ring and vibrate at the same time) till the end of the earth!
At this point, none of the buttons would work, not even the power button. Did a soft reset.
This was followed by the same exact symptoms ~4 times (touch screen not working, never turning off and staying at the same brightness level, etc). Outgoing calls would work ok, but each time, a call would come in and freeze up my phone.
Eventually, after several resets, the touchscreen would work without having to mash the buttons to get the touchscreen alignment app running. However, it would still freeze on incoming calls (only).
Somewhere between all the resets, I realized that sliding out the keyboard would never switch the screen to landscape. I can still type and my text would show up on-screen, and screen taps still work properly (even touchflo), but all of this would occur while still in portrait mode.
Lastly, the power button would only work once. It can turn the screen off, but not back on, ever.
Somewhere, between the resets, I uninstalled PointUI, which did nothing. I also tried running Sprite Backup, which would never open (and still doesn't at time of writing)!
Before the PointUI update, none of these symptoms were present (earlier release was v1.01b, used since early January). After the update, they began creeping up, getting worse over time. I have installed nothing else since the update, and have only ever sync'd the phone with my computer to charge it.
Today (Feb. 24th), it started getting a little worse...
When I make calls, sometimes the microphone doesn't work at all. I can hear the person I'm calling, but they can't hear me.
Sometimes, the green phone button won't start the phone application.
Power button isn't turning off the screen anymore at all.
This is the current status of the phone. Weathered, battered and beaten, it marches on, still capable of opening the HTC Audio Manager and playing my MP3's in consolation.
Any help regarding the source of these issues is greatly appreciated.
Some additional notes/summary:
I am running the stock AT&T ROM without the bloatware.
I haven't dropped the phone or let it get wet.
I may hard reset sometime this coming week, probably Monday. The first thing I'll do is reinstall PointUI v1.02b, and maybe TomTom. We'll see how that goes.
You know, the more I read this post, the more it seems like a virus.
Man... just hard reset/flash a new rom and be done with it.

That's why I haven't bothered with any of the anti-virus programs out there. Why bother having a constant drain on the system resources when you can do a hard reset, and restore all the cabs & hacks in under 30 minutes?

Just an update here, my phone started acting up again ~5 days ago: freezing on incoming calls, not switching to landscape when sliding out the keyboard, never turning the screen off, etc. 3 days ago it got better, and I was able to run Sprite Backup and tried to restore the phone back to my pre-PointUI days. It had to reset, and on that same reset, Sprite didn't run -- the phone just booted into Windows, and all my problems came back.
Last night, I got a call that froze up my phone again. So I reset it, and by surprise, Sprite Backup ran and started restoring my phone. Now it's back to the way it was in January, and everything works perfectly! This backup was made before I ever installed PointUI.
Bottomline, no PointUI, no problem.
However, I should say that with v1.01b, I never experienced any of these issues. Because of my experience, I'm not giving any test versions a try, but I may install 1.03b, when it comes out. Definitely doing another backup before that too.
Thank you everyone.
Sounds to me more like a hardware issue, perhaps with your SD card.
I had the same issues you were havingh, but without ever having installed PointUi on my Kaiser.
I was using Dutty's Rom version 7 with radio 1.27.xx
only installed aps : TomTom and SPB brain training
So it would seem this is a WM or TomTom triggered issue....
My Kaiser just started doing this very same thing today. I'm running the standard AT&T WM6.1 ROM and have been successfully since December 07. I have a 6GB SD card with TomTom on it, also have had no issues until now. Today, the screen didn't switch into landscape upon sliding the keyboard out; the camera freezes and/or is unresponsive; power button doesn't work (on OR off; with or without SD card inserted); couldn't pick up a call earlier today; TomTom freezes when loading; WM player freezes while loading media.... I have not installed any apps on this thing since January. Seems to me like some memory corruption going on, possibly page file related.
I *did* notice that I had about 45MB worth of temp internet files cached and cleaned those up earlier today after these symptoms started. Didn't fix the problem though, but being low on main storage may have contributed to the corruption problem.
I had hoped I wouldn't need to hard reset my phone but here we go....
I've been using the original AT&T rom on my Tilt for a while.
For new message notifications, I set it to make a sound only (ie. no message on screen or vibration etc).
With the old rom, whenever Blackberry Connect pushed new email to my phone, it would just make the sound and stay off.
Now with the new 1.62 rom, the phone turns on with every new message.
I have installed all the same apps, the notification settings are the same (even the sound file) - so I have no idea if this is a "new feature" in the rom or not.
I usually keep my backlight on max with a 3-4min switch off but now with it switching on intermittently, I've had to keep it on min backlight and 30sec switch off - and it still drains my battery life before the end of the day!
Anyone else seeing this problem? I tried searching the Kaiser forums and found nobody reporting the same problem.
On a positive note, the new rom seems to have stabilized the phone. With BBC on previous rom, I had quite a few of the "phone freeze" problems daily. So far after the first day - no freezing... did I just trade-off one problem for another (albeit less critical)?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
I don't think it's a new feature, because I haven't had that happen with mine. I hate to suggest a hard reset, but that may be your best solution...I'm not using blackberry connect, that may be the cause of the problem.
thanks snooginsguy for the response.
Well when the rom was upgraded that effectively hard reset my system. I just reinstalled my apps from scratch yesterday - so I'm guessing hard resetting again and repeating the reinstall probably won't fix things.
What's weird is using Blackberry connect on the old rom didn't do this previously. Anyone else with BBC on the new AT&T rom experiencing this phenomena?

Yes, I am. It used to be that the screen would come on for 5 secs. and then turn back on after an email was received. Now it just turns ON until I turn it OFF. I'm going back to one of the WM6.1 ROMs today, but not because of this.
I'm having this issue as well.
It's also happening with BBC & some of the leaked WM 6.1 ROMS.
I 'solved' it by installing S2U2 on the phone, since it keeps the phone locked & turns the screen back off after 30 seconds.
I'm having the same problem... upgraded and now every time an email comes in the screen turns on.. .sucks... someone find a fix.. please..
If you run phoneAlarm from pocket max...there is a setting under the advanced settings which automatically turns off the phone (hibernates it) after a system notification...and saves loads of battery power.
I don't run BB connect on my Tilt, but I bet that this would do the trick.
I've got the exact same problem. It's killing my battery. I may try turning back on the horrendous BlackBerry Lock application, which pretty much locks up the UI (and in many cases blocks notifications that I DO want to hear). The lock application also caused my Tilt to grind to a halt about 50% of the time, so I had to soft reset just to make a phone call. I'll look into some of the add-on apps mentioned here as well.
What's sad is that no one supports BlackBerry Connect. I contact HTC with a different issue, and they said "We only support BlackBerry Connect on the Tilt", to which I obviously replied "Uh, I have a Tilt, so why can't you help me?". They then came back with, "You need to contact RIM, who created the application". If you go to RIM's website, there is no way to contact them unless you have a support contract. Anyone know of a way to report bugs with this app?
I'll post anything I find that fixes this. It's annoying having to keep my Tilt hooked up to my PC all day long so my battery doesn't die at noon.

Can anyone confirm if this phenomenon may be specific to BBC 4.0.0.97? I don't use 1.62 but do use BBC 4.0.0.97 and see this happen. It didn't happen until I 'upgraded'. Coincidence or not?
I cannot remember which one, but I did experience this with a rom awhile ago. But my rom now does not do this with email messages...it only does that with blocked phone calls when I use magicall. So to counter this I have installed slide2unlock so that it comes on for only a few seconds and then cuts off again. I do not use BBC btw and my rom is Sleuths 6.1
Ok - great - I guess I'm not the only one having this happen. This last week I've been repeatedly getting the "battery is low" warning before 6pm - which is inconvenient since I'd like a phone to last a full day w/o having to charge it.
With the previous rom, I never had to charge it midstream - and I've had this phone since it came out on AT&T last year.
Regarding Deltaflyer's question about whether he thinks it's BBC .097 - that could very well be the case - especially if other folks not using the BBC are also not experiencing the problem.
I'll see if I can try uninstalling .097 and reverting to the old one (I think I have it saved somewhere) next week...
Fix for phone switching on
I have the same problem too. I use activesync to sync over the internet to my Exchange server. In Sounds and Notification, if I uncheck the "Events(warnings, system events). My screen doesn't light up anymore. Hope this helps!
I confirm : switching back from bbc 4.0.0.97 to .92 stops waking up the device when receiving a mail.
At least will save my battery
I'm on scap's Rom

thanks for the suggestion sanguy888.
That's typically one of the first things I do when I setup my phone. Only in this case, it did not resolve the issue.
Sounds like ben5757 has confirmed it's the bbc update.
ben5757 - would you give us an update in a few days - please to let us know how .92 is working with scap's rom? Anything freezing?
Thanks in advance!
I'm on a Tytn II, operated by SFR (France), Schap's ROM 4.31, BBC connected to a BES server.
Had installed BBC 4.0.0.97, but each email wakes the device fromsleeping mode, and consumes battery much too fast (more than 60 mails per day...).
Have uninstalled .97 and installed .92. Works without any problem since 2 days, and device remains in sleeping mode even when receiving pushmail.

Can you point me in the direction of .92? I have .97 installed and the waking up every time an email arrives is driving me nuts. Only other version I have is .84. Thanks.
Try this

I would add that I have doubled my battery lifetime
Wanted to thank ben5757 for all his support.
With the AT&T rom 1.62 & BBC .92 - my Tilt no longer switches on after each email. So far after a day's worth of email pushing - about 75 emails, I have experienced no freezing issues and battery life is back to my original Tilt days (which was only needing to charge nightly).
Talk about a win-win situation!!!
I'll see how long I can keep the device running w/o a soft reset!
The best thing was I didn't need to hard reset to downgrade to BBC .92. Just had to uninstall .97, then install .92 (after a soft reset). Also had to tell my corporate IT that I had to reactivate my corporate BB account. I was back up and running in less than 15mins!

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!

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........
Jim
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!
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=2where the resolution was to get a new 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.
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, I bought this phone two weeks ago and I was really happy, the first 3-4 hours. It seems alot of people have the same problem, it similar to the one with HTC One wifi. When I don't touch my phone for like 2-3 hours, while wifi is on, and I return to my phone, everything seems cool. It shows at the top that it has wifi but when I try to do something that requires internet connection, it fails. It still shows wifi is connected. When I check under Settings>Wlan the only Source it shows is the last router I was connectected to.
Logically what on will do in this situation is to switch on/off wlan. But in this case, it will show me "out of range". So the trick here is to turn on/off Flight Mode and everything will work again. But it sucks to do this 4x-5x time a day. So I called the support and they told me to do the following:
1. Go to Settings>Wlan click the three dots at bottom right
2. Select "Wi-Fi Direct" and click "rename device" at bottom right
3. Rename your phone to "htc desire_626g" and click ok
4. Now go back to Settings>Apps, this time click the three dots at top right and then "reset app config" or something like this
5. Hold down volume up + power key until your phone shut down completely.
6. Power on your device like normally and everything SHOULD be fine.
Right now it has been 4-5 hours I did what they told me and everything seems fine. Wifi is still on and I tried to not touch my phone for this time because the problem was always when I did not touch my phone for some hours. If this solves my problem I will be very happy and I don't have to send it for fixing. Hopefully it will help other new buyers too. Greeting from Germany
Same problem here, lets try if it works
Same problem
I have the same problem. I tried your advices, but problem is still here. Has anyove solved?
Did you tried a hard reset?
Same here, it doesn't help
I had the same problem until today when I received an OTA software update from HTC. The update's build number is 1.04.401.4. After applying this update my phone (a HTC Desire 626g+ Dual Sim model) has no issues with losing wifi any more.
