Wakes fine for me. You running third party stuff? I have found that SPB's products and Phonealarm have caused this on both the Mogul and the Apache... probably the same for the Touch.

i have had my touch freeze when trying to wake up about 2-3 times this week.

I have just uninstalled the mms program to see if thats the issue, ps my phones rom is from 9/18/07 version 1.12.651.1

is this the most current rom?


I want to kknow asap, dont know if i want to exchange it or not.

I haven't had any problems so far with Mobile Shell, SPB Phone and Weatherpanel installed on my Touch.

The only real bugs I've found:

1) The OZ messenger loads itself whenever I soft reset, even after telling it not to (and making sure to hit the save option in the menu) time and time again.

2) Sometimes after awhile, the XT9 suggested words bar will stop clearing the buffer and so the words will just start overwriting each other. Soft reset fixes it no problem.

3) Sprint TV now says I'm not authorized... yet it worked on my mogul... its offering me a subscription for 7.95 a month. I thought SERO had Sprint TV? It was cartoon network, which I'm certain I had on the Mogul...

4) Not a bug but a slight complaint - battery life is definitely quite a bit less than my Mogul. Using the Touch just like I do my Mogul every day, the battery was down to nothing in no time. I pulled it off the charger at 11AM and by the time I got home about an hour ago, it was down to 5%. Less than 12 hours versus the multiple day usage I'd get out of my Mogul.

5) Can't use the 12 or 20-key boards in Opera or Opera Mini. HUGE negative here. Anyone know a workaround for this?
I'm going to try those regedits and see if they work on the Touch. Those seemed to increase the battery life of my Mogul quite a lot.

I'm happy to say though that there is ZERO memory leak. After closing all my applications, I'm left with about 73MB free and its 74MB on a clean soft reset.

i didnt think sero included tv. the reason you may be having problems is that the touch officially supports sprinttv, whereas the mogul did not. i can use my 12 and 20 key sip with opera mini, though it does give me a midlet error sometimes. someone said to d/l the esmertec java and i havent had issues since. if you search 'esmertec jbed' you should find a post with a d/l

edit: check the opera mini thread for the jbed file

That would be great except I rather like Opera Mobile for browsing over Opera Mini. Call it a preference, I guess.

with opera mobile i cant tell you, since i dont use it. with opera mini ive had zero issues since installing jbed. even before that i could at least access both keypads, id just get a midlet error sometimes which i could ignore and keep going

Even with cloudfa's jbed, its still crashing. It outright froze my phone twice when trying to enter in a website. =/

I'll try the MDA's Intent manager if I still have it.
