KEEP GETTING DSOD (Freezes after sleep) after upgrading to Neurom3

petermg · #1 (**permalink**) 03-27-2009, 06:37 PM

I have searched and read and have still not found anyone else who claims they have this problem with Neurom3

nor have I found anyone who claims to know of an exact fix. I have found various recommendations, but not a fix. I upgraded from ROM 20273. I did this using the Kitchen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I totally disabled activesync and that did not fix it. It was working PERFECTLY the first day after I flashed it (yesterday), but only today it now FREQUENTLY gives me the DARK SCREEN OF DEATH / won't come out of standby, I have to do a soft reset on it.

One thing I did notice after I upgraded to Nuerom3 is that now I have "PUSH" email whereas I didn't before.. and according to this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...n+death&page=3
it is suspected that PUSH may have something to do with it... is there a way to get rid of the PUSH feature???

Ok well if no one else can help me at least I will document my attempt to help myself and hopefully solve this. It appears to be related to the SDcard, since when I take it out.. no DSOD!!! I recently made a registry hack to improve my SDCard speeds.. so I will attempt to undo that and see if it helps.

Well I think that there may have been something wrong with the ROM I cooked. I used the latest NueRom3 kitchen but I noticed that even before I install anything.. the volume on the phone is set to mute.. and if I try to change it.. it changes BACK to mute about 1/2 second later! So I just flashed my phone using the Nuerom3, non-kitchenized version and thus far I"ve gone about 8 hours with NO DSOD. Maybe I will try to recook the other rom as it had a newer NueKernel in it.

go to Settings, System tab, and then Hardware Switch.... uncheck Enable Hardware Switch.

I get this same problem since loading nueRom3.. not a kitchen load, was the version straight from no2chem's site. Occasionally, I'll have my phone in its holster and I'll think "hmm, it hasnt gone off in awhile" and pull it out to look at it, and it won't come out of standby.. half the time, doing a soft reset won't even work, I'll have to pull the battery, put the battery back in, then boot up... I also get random soft resets out of nowhere. I'll go to slide open the keyboard to reply to a text and whoops, there goes a soft reset.. or I'll be typing or something and there goes a soft reset.. lots of problems like that. But i haven't done any tweaks to the SD card or anything like that.

most likely this is a poor fitting battery. try putting a folded paper on the bottom so the contacts have a tighter connection.

Hmm, I'll give that a shot.. Just seems weird it would all of a sudden start doing that after I'd had the phone for a year.. But I'll definitely give it a shot. Thanks.
