Re: TP Locking Up Overnight

Here is my own solution I never charge my phone over night anymore. I will charge it right before I go to bed Then put it back on the charger when I wake up. I get ready for work and I have %100 charged phone before the time I'm ready to leave. Haven't had a lock up's since Oct 31.

Re: TP Locking Up Overnight

I don't understand why some phones do this & others don't.

I have two TP's that are totally LOADED with programs/tweaks etc & the only time either one has locked up it was because of something stupid that I did that caused it (I have charged my everyday phone all night every night & since the beginning of November & it's never locked up once)

Re: TP Locking Up Overnight

ScrapMaker...I agree it's a terrible solution for the cost of the product, but it's a solution none the less. My phone hasn't frozen in weeks...and while it sucks that I have to baby a really expensive phone...it's fixed for now. It works for me.

What if you drilled holes in the back cover?

Re: TP Locking Up Overnight

I drilled a Palm OS device once with 3 tiny little holes. A thought - though it has not happened to me yet.

Re: TP Locking Up Overnight

I have witnessed this behavior twice since getting mine at the beginning of February. I no longer charge at night, just put it on the charger in the morning before I go to work. I haven't witnessed the problem since. Granted I have to go out of my way to avoid this problem but like someone else said these are complex devices and not everything can be made perfect.

Believe me, this problem is pale in comparison to what the Samsung i760 users face which is the phone just randomly going in to a deep sleep (no response what so ever) any time the phone goes to sleep. I had to wake my phone up constantly (every 15min) just to make sure it wasn't in a coma. Samsung/VZW, like HTC, isn't willing to admit there is a problem even though there are many threads documenting it as well as multiple tech support calls regarding the issue. In fact, that issue with the i760 got me this sweet TP for $50. The HTC is a godsend because I don't have to worry about it going in to a coma during the day.

And for those of you that are determined to keep using this phone for your alarm in light of this issue, buy a bloody alarm clock! Problem solved...no longer late to work.

It's not just about being an alarm clock--it's about MISSING IMPORTANT CALLS.

What if you get a call about your brother being in a serious accident, but your POS Touch Pro is frozen (same with the Sammy,) and all they get is your voicemail all night, while you sleep peacefully.

I would sue the sh!t out of the company if that happened, and I missed the last chance I had to see my brother before he died. I would devote the remainder of my life to destroying HTC or whoever.

Plus, the fact that the alarm didn't wake me up isn't cool either

For all of you still experiencing this, install the latest G-Alarm and it fixes the bug. No more locks or anything ever.
