Touch not waking up from Sleep Mode for Calls and TXT - Page 23

Has anyone with this problem changed the default alarm timeout setting in the registry?

I haven't had the phone not waking from sleep problem for at least 3 months, then last week for some reason it started happening again. I NEVER thought that low battery had anything to do with this. It can occur when the battery is at 20% or 100%.

Funny thing though, it seems to wake for text.... like thats all I need it to do- imagine that! Some people believed it was due to 3rd party software- but this occurs wih stock phones and phones loaded to the teeth with apps.

IMHO, I believe the problem to be HTC related. It happened with the PPC-6700, Mogul (6800), Touch (6900?)... and I don't know how many others; these are just the ones I know for Sprint.

I know I am completely tired of missing calls and constantly having to explain the flaws of a $600 phone..... in its current state- its worthless!

First three weeks no issues with waking up. Last few weeks issuses a lot. Even with hard reset, and no installation. Currently returning it.

Hey all, first post here. Hope this helps. Just got the phone yesterday.

"Wake device to full power This tweak takes the brute force approach to fixing the problem of your alarms not working. You should probably try the "alarm fix for 2003 devices" tweak BEFORE trying this one. Just in case. This tweak carries an even greater risk of inadvertent data loss than the other tweak, because it doesn't even bother to check the level of battery power when it's time for an alarm to fire. It just wakes the system up to full power. This is good if your battery is charged, and potentially bad if it isn't. Use at your own risk."

I am a physician and missed a patient desperately trying to get ahold of me last night so since then I have literally been tied to my phone today. Anyway my problem is 2 fold as it sounds like most are. If it drops below 30% power, it seems to not ring until soft reset. If I have a notification on the screen (SMS, voicemail, notification) I get no ring. To fix this, I have notifications turned off universally on the phone as well as the registry change below and have tried all the scenarios I read here and mine is working perfectly. I don't know if there is a main thread that I am missing so i apologize if someone has already figured a fix.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settin gs]
"SMSNoSentMsg"=dword:00000001

And just in case anyone new to this has the Dword versus Decimal/Hex value thing confused (have seen it go unanswered in threads before), the above text is if you are using a .reg file (or .cab in another format) to change your registry. If you enter it straight in as a Dword value directly in the registry it is of value " 1 " without the quotations as a decimal value. Hope this helps someone.

Also, I got the .cab file to do this registry change from here. Credit to chiromikey, codyppc
and Sprintdude. The .cab file is in the link below first post. Good luck:

Edit: Forgot that I also turned off the quick menu under settings---> Today -----> Items as well as the direct link I had to text messages on the Today window.

Tested again just now and(sent myself a ton of texts with screen off), screen came on then went back off per battery / backlight settings as I want it to. Then alarms went off times 3 with power lower than 20%.

Ok I read some of this thread but there is a lot. These are the problems I am having:

1. When the phone is in sleep mode some times it does not recieve calls or text messages and will not wake up when i hit the power button and the only way I can get it to wake up is by taking the battery out.

2. Some times when in sleep mode the phone will not allow calls to come in and then later on the phone will beep and it says I have 3 missed calls but it never rang.

i just got off the phone with sprint support, my support gal at least admitted there was a problem and there is no fox yet, except keep soft reseting the phone. When I asked for an eta for a fix she said she had no idea, see then also commented on a lot of the pda phones out there are having problems. I have a new touch I got last week. no mods. THe only thing that seems to help, not sure it works is turn of the battery power save mode.
I don't know. I am thinking about activating my old standard phone until there is a fix posted. It's really to bad. The nly reason I got the phone was because when sprint announced the 99.95 everything plan, I said ok time to get a pda.

i didnt read the whole thread but i had this problem.

go to start>settings>connections>beam>UNcheck "recieve all incoming beams"

this should help...i cant recall but i think this fixes the problem completely

you will need to turn "recieve all incoming beams" bak on ONLY when u are about to bluetooth something to your phone...then turn it bak off.

I've had this problem occur 3 times since I've had the phone (3.25 months). It has happened at various battery levels. I disabled the quick menu initially, and I don't have a lot of third party apps. I check my email manually. Perhaps that is why I don't have this occur very often. My phone has never frozen up on me, and I never need to soft reset it, just once for a very minor issue! Overall, the phone has worked flawlessly, except for the 3 missed calls. It runs and lasts much longer and better by far than my 6700. I'm not a power user, but I do use it often, and I get 5 1/2 to 7 days per charge, and I'm thrilled with that! So far, I can live with the occasional missed call, as it seems to fix itself, but I do hope they fix it in the very overdue REV A/GPS update. Then, the phone will be just about perfect.

I'm trying to mentally prepare myself as I type to deal with Sprint's lousy customer service to get them to send me a new phone. I have had it for a month and a half and have had all the problems people speak of in this thread. I have done over 4 hard resets and soft resets almost every other day!
