A new bug on the HTC Touch Pro

austintb · #1 (**permalink**) 12-19-2009, 09:23 PM

Occasionally my CDMA Sprint HTC Touch Pro will automatically turn on the screen. I put the phone in sleep by just taping the power button, and mabey about 5 minutes later, the screen will automatically come up. I check each time, and its not because of any new text messages, no new voicemails, no new emails, and its not because of any new notifications. I have flashed it so many times, and I have done the "Flash-Boogie" plenty of times to make sure its not a bad ROM. I am currently using Sprints HTC Stock ROM.

Any ideas?

I actually have no idea but I've had this happen to me before as well on my Touch diamond and pro too now... i usually thought i had a new sms but mmm nothing, perhaps data connection was turning off, never thought of that one myself.

I get that too actually.
If you TOUCH any of the buttons below your screen, I've found that wakes up the device.
Otherwise, mine stays off.

Exactly, the same thing happened on my Touch Diamond, but I never bothered to ask for any help, since I was getting my new Touch Pro. But no matter what ROM I flash to, the same "bug" keeps occuring. Im not sure if it should be considered a "bug" yet, but its "bugging" me a lot!

Well yours is different. Go to Settings > System > Key Lock > change to "Lock all buttons except Power button" > ok = It should fix that problem your having.

I'm not even sure at this moment. Gelladuga said if you touch any of the buttons on the screen the device turns on and i just touched my devices everywhere rofl and it didn't wake up. not even my diamond so hmmmm?

edit: just saw you're new post, forget what i said hahaha

My setting is like that by default.
I put "touch" in caps for a reason.
I don't physically push any buttons down, they just get touched.

xD. Yeah, well that setting was my first thought to check out, but it didn't do anything.

The same phone as everyone in this sub-forum, lol.
The HTC Touch Pro.

I just tried it.
I use SmartLock to lock my device via power button.
Skimmed over the hard buttons and my device woke up.
