Sleep OF Death!

Wait a couple of minutes and it should wake normally. Alternatively, use your bluetooth headset to initiate a voice command prompt or remove your stylus.

I've done the stylus remove trick and it works occasionally, but not all the time.

I wish the phone would just wake up when it is supposed to. This should be a high priority for MS if it is happening to business customers as I'm sure it is.

when you guys brought it into sprint, did you have to demonstrate it? I would imagine it would be hard to show Sprint this problem on the fly. I've been getting SOD's almost everyday now and it's getting really annoying, but I can't go back to WM6.1. I've been using MightyROMS since day one, but I don't think its a ROM issue as I flashed back some of his older ROMs (which I flashed when I first got the phone and never experienced a SOD) and still experience the SOD.

I've relocked, flash to stock, unlocked... tried different radios, but I still get it. This sucks! I've never dropped my phone and handle it like a baby, so I'm not sure what's going on...

same thing has been happening to my ~3month old tp2.

IT IS VERY IRRITATING

i thought i was the only one and am glad there are others
(so much that i may take the phone and seek replacement)

my setup:
1. hard reset
2. GoodThings2Life cleanup cab
3. spb mobile shell 3.5.3 (latest version ..but i have tried all 3.x.x)
4. spb mobile shell weather + spb mobile shell phone suite
5. case from body glove

at first i thought it is a conflict between 2. and 3.
but i do not think that is the case, as i have done 2 and not 3...and have done 3 but not 2...and i still get the SOD....


the only way i can recover from is by removing/reinserting the battery
to removing/reinserting the battery , i have to first remove the body glove case (which is a Pain in the A55 to do)
i have removed the case so often that the (small thin that hold the phone in the case )tabs broke and i wasnt able to use the casse

i got a replacement case and drilled holes in the battery back cover and the case so now i can simply reset the phone by pushing the now exposed red button

surprsingly, i havent had to reset the phone since the drilling...but i am anticipating it will give me the SOD any time now....

if it does happen, i will take it back to the store and see what they can do


BTW...i really like items 3, 4, and 5 above.

i also like many of the items in 2.
(i just wish there were reg edits for all the things he has done, so i could just edit the ones i want)

I actually went a night without the Sleep of Death! I installed the USC 2.18 radio (was using the stock sprint and latest verizon one; verizon seemed to cause the most SOD) and downgraded my PRL to 60059. I have very poor coverage inside my house (but I do have Airave femtocell box in my house) and I think it may have something to do with the SOD.

By installing the USC radio, I've lost the ability to use U.S. simcards, but I guess I'll live with it since I don't really have a need to use one. I'll test it out more throughout the day and report back.

Okay, i still have this crap happening! It's still going out quite frequently. why can't i just get a damn HTC phone to work right...

TP2 - SOD issues,
TP1 - Keyboard issues,
Vogue - Poor Screen Quality
Mogul - Low RAM
Apache - Loose Stylus

i've noticed that whenever outlook checks mail, manila.exe uses 100% of the cpu. Sometimes when outlook is polling mail during sleep, manila.exe causes the device to be locked up. a quick fix to revive ur phone is to pull out your sdcard and stick it back in. This is really annoying since it never happened on the TP1.

just wondering why you guys are so set on using a lock program?
don't use one, don't need one and have never had sod errors.
of course i would never use a stock rom either so that may have something to do with it.

just seems like if you are having problems stop using the software that is causing them.

Does Mr. X's ROM work on Sprint also or is it only for VZW?

I use lockdevice, which triggers the WM6.5 lock when I turn the screen off.

Manually locking the phone is a pain and another step.
