Has anyone else had a problem with their diamond not waking up when pressing the power button? mine has done it a few times now, with different custom roms. Seems that it needs to have been in standby for some time. This morning had done it overnight and the touch wheel thingy was lit and wouldn't go off until I did a soft reset. This of course had hammered the battery!
Haven't seen mention of it elsewhere so could just be mine...
Hi,
I have the exact same problems you describe. When my diamond is on AC Power overnight the scrollwheel leds are always on, not flashing. When I push the power on button, nothing happens. When I push the screen though, I hear the screen clicks (you have to put that on btw). So I guess the device isn't on tilt or something.
Yesterday it also happend a few times when my device was on battery power in my pocket. Again when I pushed the screen, I hear the screen clicks. I had to soft rest my diamond several times before it worked again. Also I had to remove the battery for some minutes to make it work again.
I have the official Dutch 1.37.404.3 NLD ROM version with the 1.00.25.05 Radio ROM
I thought the problem first appeard when I installed S2U, but when I removed that application it still happend this morning. I pressed the power on butten (it wasn't on AC Power) and nothing happend. Then I waited for a few minutes and after pressing the power button again, the screen finally came up.
I tweaked my diamond with the normal tweak utils found here. Furthermore no special tweaks what so ever.
It seems like that when you don't use your device for a couple of hours (like when you're asleep) the device needs some time to wake up. Could it have to do with the the Powermanagent settings in the Advanced Config utility ? I have enabled the SD Memory power management, AsyncMac1 power management, PPTP1 power management, LTP2 power management options.
There are 2 more options for powermanagement, namely: AC resuming from suspend timeout: 30 seconds
and Battery resuming from suspend timeout: 30 seconds.
I don't know exactly what these 2 options do, but the explanations in the Advanced Config Utility mentions: Time allowed to launch scheduled tasks while in standby on battery / standby on AC power.
What are scheduled tasks ? On my Windows Vista machine I know what scheduled tasks are, but on de Diamond there isn't an option in the control panel to schedule tasks what so ever.
I will change these 2 settings and will see if the problem still exists.
"Glad" to hear I'm not the only person who encounterd this problem....

Has anyone noticed on either the Tilt or Kaiser that sometimes the device will not enter sleep mode?
It seems like when my Tilt running the stock AT&T Rom is on AC power, it will not enter sleep mode even though I have it set to sleep after 5 minutes on AC power. This is not while connected via USB to a PC running ActiveSync as that WILL keep the device alive, I'm talking about connected to the power brick.
After 5 minutes the screen will dim but not sleep. Running on battery power the timeout will usually happen. If it doesn't sleep the display just dims like it did above.
Settings for power are set to shut off after 5 minutes.
Any ideas?

I've noticed that mine does the same thing, just doesn't turn off when plugged into AC. I'm not aware of any "fix" for it persay, I just dismissed it as a minor bug of the OS. I would be curious if if anyone does have a solution to this, but it's not that big a deal IMO.
I noticed it also, but don't care. However, if it happens while on battery, try changing the time to something else and then back. My battery was draining QUICK and finally I realized that it wasn't turning off. Doing the above fixed it.
Thanks for the replies. Not that I feel better about it but at least others have the same issue. It's not a big deal if plugged, just wondering why.

I just got into the habit of manually hitting the power button and putting it to sleep before holstering it and right after pluging it in.
Same here, it would go to sleep on DC power but would stay awake on AC power.
Dont worry.
I'm sure it goes into sleep when you press the power button.
Ahhh, is that what that button is for?!
Hey there.
I have my HTC S730 for nearly 2 months now.
I don't know why but my Wings plays a strange melody and then turns off.
Even if the battery is fully loaded! After it turned off it takes a long time before i can turn it on again. I can push the start button on the top of my smartphone but nothing happens.
I don't know what it is. I Hardresetet my device 3-4 times now but it's still not working correctly.
Can you please help me?
Did anyone recieve the same "error"?
I have the same error!
But no solution.
It happens sometimes, mosty not logical... I'll wait for a few weeks, if it keeps on i'll go back for warranty!
What are you running when the reboot occurs? Never looked but is there a way to schedule it to do such a thing?
Does it display anything on screen before it happens? You might check in the power options to see if its shutting down due to some setting...
When I have some time I will dig through mine and take a look.
Off the top of my head I would surmise that its either overheating and shutting off, an installed application is causing issues and it is turning off, a setting within the phone is causing it to turn off, or something is wrong with the device.
May be caused by overheating. I have no other applikation installed on my Device since i Hardreset it. It shows up the HTC logo when it shutsdown.
I dont run any applications at all. Sometimes i listen to music with the Music Player.
When i start my phone up again (after some waiting time) it shows me that my battery power is 0. After some time of waiting it shows me that my battery is nearly fully loaded.
It only happens 1 or 2 times per day.
But please help me
It's not overheating in my case.
I saw it happen last time (5 minutes ago), just before the HTC logo is saw a little cross trough the battery indicator. I suppose the battery is not good? After reboot the indicator shows a full battery??
I would give HTC a call about those batteries. I would think that they are bad, or the phone is having issues drawing power from them and so it shuts off.
If its overheating it should be VERY warm to the touch, I have gotten mine warm but never hot after some heavy use, but I just let it cool off afterwards and it was just fine.
Usually with low battery it will flash a warning on screen and make a noise indicating low battery, but if the battery suddenly is in zero the phone could automatically shut off. Does it power off quicker than a normal shut down sequence? I would have thought that the phone would just run until it's instantly cut off by a dead battery, but if its misreading it or reads it in the danger zone it could have an auto shut down.
Had the same thing with my wings/s730.
After hard resetting it it worked fine again.
I notice that my X1 backlight won't turn off.
Even if I set backlight to off after some time, the light just become less bright but not totally off as compared with my HTC Hermes/Tytn.
Is it a "feature" for X1? Will it hurt the LCD if the backlight not turn off, especially that I usually leave it on while charging with USB of my PC?
The backlight dims to minimum instead of turning off completely. If you are connected to a PC it won't turn the screen off, despite the setting in power management. If it is charged with a charger (not PC connected) it will turn the screen off if it is set up to do so.
Tap the power button to turn the screen off and disable the touch feature... key's remain unlocked and apps keep running
I am having a similar issue, if I push the power button to turn off the screen, it turns off, but then 5-6 seconds later it comes back on, this is after a hard reset and no other programs. Any idea what could be causing this?
Hey I just started having the exact same problem today. Turn off backlight with the power button, moments later it comes back on. This 'ghost' activation is inconsistent. Sometimes it doesn't come on for a while, but it will eventually come on.
About 2 weeks ago I spilled some water on it. I dried it out with a hair dryer and all seemed fine but now I'm wondering. It's almost like the power button is shorting out, turning the darn thing on. Any clues or solutions out there?http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Hi!
I am using a Diamond shipped by Vodafone (VPA Touch Diamond). It worked perfectly for about six weeks with Vanilla ROM. Yesterday, I wanted to send an SMS, when it suddenly turned off.
There is absolutely no reaction when I push the power button. The LED ring does not light when charging the phone. The only reaction is when I switch it on, the lower left corner (CPU) noticeably dissipates heat.
The (original) battery is fully charged (4.2 volts). The voltage is stable when the phone is turned on (measured inside the phone when it is in "pocket heating" mode described above).
I tried:
- soft reset (nothing happens)
- hard reset (nothing happens)
- leaving it for an hour with battery
- leaving it for an hour without battery
- leaving it in the fridge for 30 minutes
- leaving it without battery overnight
Actually, I have another good phone, but it would be really nice to get access to the data stored on the device. As far as I remember, hard reset only proceeds after accepting a message on the screen. So maybe I am lucky and my data is still there. Maybe I'm not.
Any idea? Thanks.
edit: yes, I know there are many (!) similar threads. I have read whatever I found, but there was no solution to my problem.
I have the same problem with you. Yesterday, when I woke up, I found that my Diamond didn't turn on anymore (no screen, no LED, no soft or hard reset...).
I brought it to the local mobile phone service and they said that the power IC has been short-circuited and they have to replace it.
They charged me 500 000 Vietnam Dong ($ 25) for that, but thay haven't finished repairing it yet.
Hello!
ID: C5J8 BIOS: 2.05c
Symptom: if I shut down the tablet from Windows 10 or in Android 5.0 then I can't power on by button.
If I connect the USB cable afterwards it can be powered on random time - sometime after usb cable connect 5 minutes, sometimes more, it is very stochastic behaviour!
My question is: is it bug or feature? The reasen is settings in BIOS or what the hell, I dont understand? I have to tilt my family shut down the tablet, because they can't power on without me...
Do anybody have a good idea?
has nothing to do with windows or android for sure ... when the tab is in the S4 or S5 states the control of the tab is done by the BIOS firmware
1. do a restart/reboot from whatever OS and after that a power off and check whether is responsive now
2. do a forced power off (long press power btn until turns off) and check again
however if it did not show this behavior on your previous bios version then for sure is caused by something in the new bios (i would guess has something to do with the way the battery level is now detected, normally if your battery is below a level it will refuse to start, but if somehow the bios doesn't properly detect that...) maybe you can also try a 'load defaults' in the bios?
Have a look at this thread, it explains how the tablet determines when to turn on.
Dear wallabyman!
Thank you, it is very detailed and good post. I understand, and we can't do anything - it is a feature, but a very ugly feature from Teclast!
This time do you have any change in this operating? Could you power on by button after shut down?

It has operated in the same way with the original BIOS too!
The reason why I found the linked thread was because I am experiencing some problems too, although not as bad as you describe them.
I am able to always turn on the tablet. If it does not turn on, I am trying the following things (in no particular order):
- Make sure tablet is really off and not stuck with black screen, by holding power buton for 10-15 seconds to do a hard powerdown
- attach a USB lamp to USB-host adapter to see if it is still powered on
- let it charge for about 30 minutes with original charger and original cable before trying to turn on
- not move the USB charging cable too much, my device seems very sensitive to small changes in the USB charging connection. I have the tablet lying flat, and try to power on without touching the cable if it is charging at the same time
- set quiet boot to off in Bios to see the red AMI logo
a minor aspect:
- if the device is charging and I press the power button only once, the Bios boot screen will appear together with the battery, but will not boot until the power is pressed again and battery charge is sufficient
Sleeping:
- putting the device to sleep from Android (sikke1s ROM, not for your device) and waking up again seems to work perfectly for me now.
- with Windows I still have big issues, trying to narrow it down currently
- from the shutdown state I can always boot up within a few tries (press the button not too long or to short, try hard power off even if it appears to be off and again)
