When I turn off the android (not "off" but just press power to turn off screen), I can't seem to wake the screen back up, the real buttons (keyboard/volume) seem to work since I can hear them but the screen stays off. I have to soft reset it back into windows to be able to use phone again. I looked on xda and found someone suggested changing the pm.sleepmode to something else, and I've tried them all and problem still persists.

You should put it to 1 (one).

With that said, do older kernels exhibit this behavior? There was some panel collapse code added, but I thought it would only effect RHOD, not RAPH... Basically the panel on RAPH is not being collapsed at all - even tho it appears off/in sleep, the panel is always sucking power. Brightness is just set to 0 - hence the horrible battery drain.

If you can collapse the panel (along with as much else as possible) you will get much better battery life. This has helped out RHOD a lot, but caused issues with panel wake, timing, etc.

So, perhaps you should try an older kernel from the autobuild service - you won't get all the newest features, but perhaps you can pinpoint which kernel it started happening in, so we can pinpoint which commit broke sleep on your device.

FYI, the panel wake is still an issue on RHOD as well, even with sleep_mode=1. If you put it to sleep and wake it back up, it's usually OK, but still annoying. It's even worse if there's background processes running - for example downloading updates from the Market, etc.

hm, I'll try an older kernel... but I dont know how to do this exactly, could you give some steps to this? Since I just downloaded the all in one zip file and dragged it to sd card, I didn't have to set anything up.

hm, the collapse thing might be right, the battery was dying fast and it did look like screen was on but it was dark :S

edit: I think i'm figuring out how to switch out the kernel. I'm downloading new one and modifying the startup.txt. Seems to be working but if I'm doing it wrong let me know

update:tried most of the ones from the autobuild page and they all have same problem with power collapse :S if anyone knows of one that doesnt have problem, let me know and i'll try it. For now I'll use windows again (its reason I liked it before, no bugs with hotspoting/sleeping lol) I'd move to previous eclair but I like having camera. Its also reason I'm not moving onto gingerbread since it lacks camera as well

edit: i decided to switch to gingerbread since i saw camera was working seems like I don't have the power collapse issue. But I wont know till I use it for more than a hour lol

Ok, I answered some of your questions in the gb thread. I'll try to address your kernel questions here.

There is a how-to in the first post on updating/changing your kernel - did you read it? Because it doesn't mention anything about changing your startup.txt . That is one way to make it pickup the kernel, I prefer renaming the zImage so there is no need to mess with the startup.txt - in addition, you need to be careful about the modules! All of this is explained in the first post...

You comment about trying most of the ones from the autobuild page confound me - there's... let's just say more than a couple. The link to autobuild is on the first page, and there's a ton for you to try. I'm thinking somewhere in November, but not positive. Cam won't work, along with a lot of other things as well.

Seems like I was doing it right. I followed all the steps except renaming zimage which was why I changed the startup.txt to reflect new zimage

when I said tried most of them, the ones I picked were ones that had more positive than negatives and the ones that mentioned raph800 working.

You can certainly modify the startup.txt to pickup the new kernel, it does work either way. For sanity's sake, I usually tell people to not do that - but you there's nothing stopping you from doing it this way, if it's what you prefer.

Just tends to trip people up when they go renaming stuff in the startup.txt - just so long as you're aware to check that if you're not able to boot .

With that said, I wonder if it is the system image... Have you used any older images? Triaging is a pain, but it's necessary to get to the root cause of a problem...

the only older one i would have would be from eclair :S i don't recall if problem was there or not.

Aside from this recent kernel modification, I havent really touched any of the android files since I dont knwo what im doing

I played with FRX04 on my Touch Pro for a few days, then saw FRX05 was available. I've had the same problem on both builds and can't seem to find out how to fix it (forgive me if I'm missing something obvious). I can't get the data network to connect. I've been able to configure WiFi and use it reliably, but configuring the phone to connect to Sprint's data network is something I can't figure out. If anyone can point me in the right direction on this, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Doug

Well, this *should* work out of the box.

But have you checked the APN configuration? Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.

Is there an APN in there? If not, add it. Menu -> New APN. Name is "Android" and APN is "internet". The remaining default settings should work. Then Menu -> Save and make sure the APN is selected on the last page.

I went back and double-checked the connection under WinMo and it's not working. Sorry about that, I should have double-checked that first. I thought is was working, but...

Anyway, thanks for your time!

I can't seem to get this working correctly. First of all the touch screen responding backgrounds still doesn't work. You have to touch opposite of where you want to get anywhere. I changed the startup file from 2, 1, 3, to -2, 1, 3...no change. Second issue is the screen goes really dim and it won't brighten back up. Third issue is when ever the phone is restarted it won't boot back to this...it boots back to winmo. Any ideas...I would like to get this working. Trying to get my touch pro working for my brother so he can start off with this before he gets something else.
