Re: power button issues on 6.5?
 

Me. I use the keyboard config and smartlock, though. I've seen this on lots of 6.5 phones. Sometimes the power on takes so long that you think you mis-pressed it, so you press it again, which then suspends again, and then you wait and hit it again and it turns on. Very frustrating.

In general, I have to hit power twice about a third of the time to get my stock 6.5 TP2 to wake up.

Re: power button issues on 6.5?
 

I installed the Stock Sprint Rom a day after it was released. I have experienced this bug one time since then (just recently unfortunately). However, I cant recall experiencing this ever with the prior ROM.

It went to sleep mode (dark screen) and would not come on when I pressed power. I was sitting at a restaurant and had just checked it. It didn't respond to a long press to reset either. I ended up just taking the battery out real quick.

Currently running Stock ROM and Touch Pro 2 Cleanup Cab. For testing purposes, the only other cabs i have installed are latest Task Manager and a popular custom taskbar icon cab. No other SenseUI modifications, no Cookie Home Tab...

Re: power button issues on 6.5?
 

well, after a day of running without the cabs, the "failure to wake" STILL happens! so those must not be a factor afterall... so after yet another hard reset, i went back and installed the cabs, and guess will just deal with it til hopefully there is a fix. still considering going back to 6.1 but will give 6.5 a little longer

Re: power button issues on 6.5?
 

I too have been having this same issue with my Stock Sprint 6.5 ROM.
I currently have Co0kie's home tab installed but even before I added it I had this problem. It hasn't occured in while, which is actually quite strange. I had another issue that I saw someone address in another thread about extreme lag and system crashes when exiting the default Windows Mobile text threads and going back to the messaging home screen. Again, I also had this problem. What I ended up doing is deleteing all (2000+) of my saved text messages and both problems seemed to dissapear overnight.
When I first upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5 I was furious but after tweaking it here and there it seems to work much better. Another suggestion I have is to disable animations on the home screen. Both animated wallpaper and weather. That seemed to speed everything up. Also HTC task manger, as much as I LOVE it, it killed my Touch Pro 2. I highly recommend uninstalling it if you have added it.
Last but no least, anyone having the problem with the HTC Sense MP3 player pausing during play back? Because if so I have a solution.

Re: power button issues on 6.5?
 

Can you explain this? Did you try the more recent build(s)? I have it installed and dont seem to have any issue but I haven't done extensive testing outside of normal/casual use. What exactly was the problem if gave you with the Stock 6.5 ROM?

Re: power button issues on 6.5?
 

First of all I'm running Stock Sprint 6.5 with the only major change being Co0kies home tab.
I installed HTC Task Manager (The drop down task manager) because I missed it from the 6.1 build. Upon installing it I noticed a significant decrease in WinMo performance. Slow response time for touch input and overall HTC Sense became very laggy. I was also having my device lock up, where I couldn't turn the screen on or off and the only ways I could get a response out of it was if I pulled out my stylus and put it back in, which would light up the front face buttons and not the screen. Or actually call my Touch Pro 2 from another phone. Calling my phone seemed to be the best option other than yanking out the battery or waiting a few minutes and trying again.

Read my post HERE, Then scroll down to the next post below it.
What I did from there was as I already explained and after doing so my free memory increased and lag decreased.

I'm not sure what build of HTC task manager I've used but I'm so past it now I don't even care for going back. Hot keying the task manager FTW.

I noticed this too since I installed stock VZW 6.5 rom. I'm not running any of the programs you guys mentioned. I did notice today that initializing voice command from the bt headset seems to wake it up without a soft reset. Hope this means something to someone...

Re: power button issues on 6.5?
 

Hmmm interesting. I didnt know there was an issue with task manager and the 6.5 Sprint Rom. I have it installed, but havent had any issues yet. Anyone else having similar issues with Task Manager?

Re: power button issues on 6.5?
 

I am running Sprint 6.5 with MS 3.5 and this happens atleast 2 a week. Soft reset is the only option for me.
