TP2 keeps waking up on its own.

My TP2 keeps waking up out of sleep mode for no apparent reason. At first I thought the power button must be getting bumped as it jostled around in my pocket, but multiple times now, I've seen it wake up out of sleep mode and the screen turn on while its just sitting untouched on my desk, charging. Any idea what's causing this or how to stop it?

might be a dumb question but i thought id ask.. r u receiving emails when your phone wakes up? also some programs installed will wake the device up... g-alarm for example does this at midnight every night.

I don't have any apps running when I put it to sleep, and I don't have push email set up.

every single windows mobile phone i have ever had other than the motorola q and treo did this. ppc 6700 did it mogul did it vogue/touch did it diamond did it, touch pro did it, and my touch pro 2 does it. I also have no clue why... I thought it may be because of push e-mail too but once i cleared all so that it was like brand new.. no apps installed no e-mail at all and my mogul still did it! I never tested the others but yup i cant think of one single wm phone i ever had (other than the smart phone editions and treo) that didnt just wake up on its on for no reason!

Hahaha..I think it has to do with the area you're in. Its funny..everytime I go to a friend's house I would leave it down on the table and it'd wake up by itself.

It happened with my Mogul, my TP1 and now my TP2. He had the same phones I had and it does the same exact thing. This never happens at home or anywhere else except my friend's home.

On the other hand..it may be power surges that our phones pick up? Just like putting a cellphone next to speakers..you'll hear the buzzing sound

if your signal switches from ev to x1 or vice versa the phone will wake up

Maybe its an app or tweak youve installed. If youre serious about finding the culprit, hard reset, and use the phone as is for a few days WITHOUT installing any .cabs files.

If it continues to behave like this, the reason might be what another member has already mentioned: your device hopping back forth between 1x and EvDO...especially considering the fact that you are consistently experiencing this with multiple devices.

post 4...

I did exactly that! It was like brand new for 2 days and it did the same thing. I guess ur right though its gotta be because of the switch from 1x to evdo.... it also happens in vegas and on the way to vegas and in atlanta ga
