power button issues on 6.5? - Page 3

dalastone · #21 (**permalink**) 03-28-2010, 11:18 AM

this has bugged me ever since i upgraded to 6.5. It never happened on 6.1. so finally decided to experiment and do some hard resetting/re installing apps/tweeks to see if i could find what might trigger it. after many hard resets, it is finally running great and wakes up with every push of the button (so far). for my device, it appears that maybe either the cookie home page/page editor cabs or the ics wmodem fix cab may have been the cause. these are the only 3 i have decided not to reinstall after a long process of elimination and many resets/app installs....so far so good, wakes every time. i havent installed any of the games yet thoulg. will run it like this for a week and see what happens. just thought i'd pass along what i came up with so far.

+1 same here. usually it does that after i do a soft reset to my phone. but it has gotten better overtime and more responsive to the power button. although that issue is still there.

Thanks for the update. I have the cookie mod installed and love it. I hope that doesn't turn out to be the problem because if it is I will have to uninstall it because I just don't like having to do that many soft resets to use my phone.

yeah the cookie mod is one of my favorite tweaks! i will try and run in again in a few days to see what happens. so far though my phone wakes up each and everytime i hit the button, slide the keyboard or pull the stylus. so its runnying perfect now

Wirelessly posted (Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 8.12; MSIEMobile6.0) Sprint T7380)

I've found that mine does it most consistently when the phone sleeps (manually or automatically) while there is various programs running. I was able to verify that if the phone sleeps while Spinballs is paused it will probably (70%) go SOD and require a soft reset. Hope this helps, I am running both the WM ICS fix cab, and the cookie home tab. Hope its not the cookie home tab, its my favorite mod ever!

I have this same issue and do not have either of the cabs mentioned above or the cookie cab. I do have the 16 shortcuts and some of your other basics like the task manager and some visual ones. But it really does suck to press the power button with no response.
I ALMOST have to soft reset my phone as often as I did my TP. lol

I don't have any of the 3 cabs (cookie home page/page editor/ics wmodem fix cab) installed and still experience the issue.

I didn't mess w/ the phone that much but i've installed:
-G. Maps
-nobody's Clear type in landscape
-daveshaw xdashutdown
-htc wifi router
-dhr lockdevice
-shazam
-omj stop clock flip
-windows marketplace
-and just reinstalled keyboard controller/sdk certs since it was happening w/o those cabs

well cookie home tab adds 16 or more shortcuts to the home page.

i dont have to 'soft reset' my phone, it just takes me one extra press before responding.

maybe its omj stop flip clock?

I don't have the stop flip clock cab. I kinda like the flipping.
lol.
Mine just won't respond... I press the power button and nothing comes up on the screen. But the hard keys do light up. So the phone responds just not the screen. Soft reset takes care of the issue till it happens again. Hopefully someone figures it out.
