First, let me say this is a great site. I've been reading through it since I got my XDA last week.
I have a strange problem. When the XDA is on and not in standby, it works great. However, when the screen blanks and shuts off, I have the hardest time to get it back on. I know it has power as the indicator light is blinking green. However, I have to hit the power button several times to get it to come back or sometimes hold the power button. On occasion I can't get it back for several minutes. Also, I miss calls while on standby. If I soft boot it, the startup screen comes on and it sometimes hangs there.
I have upgraded the ROM from the Kitchen, but it made no difference. I don't think it's hardware, as the power button puts it on standby easily. Plus, I miss calls while on standby, so it just seems to hang and not boot up everytime.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Quick question, what software are you including when cooking your ROM.
This was the same behavior with the office WM2003 T-Mobile Rom. So I don't think it's an app, but I can try a build with no extra apps. Right now I have:
CabInstl
PocketNav
System Snapshot
Caller2Picture
Olivers ActionPack
Pic and Ring
PhonExt

I recently upgraded the ROM on my XDA and now there is a long time lag in between pressing the power off button and the screen actually switching off (5-10 seconds). Power on is instantaneous.
Has anyone else encountered this and know what's causing it (and how to fix it?!?)?
Thanks.

it happens to me, but no idea why
sometimes, when i push the power button, theres a delay also
and other times, when iv clearly marked in the settings that when i press a button or tap the screen, the backlight should turn on, but it doesnt
its very odd

I had the same problem and after a couple of days the the system froze. After doing a soft reset, the radio unit would not come to life anymore and i had to do a hard reset. Very annoying!!!
As late as yesterday evening the delays when switching the XDA of started again, so I´m very curious if history will repeat itself......
Yeah, I've noticed the delay... It's annoying.
Yea me2, it can be annoying, espiecally when all you are turning it on for is to check the time
Hi,
I have an 18 month old XDA1 that I believe has developed a hardware fault.
It has recently demonstrated the following faults (no new software added for several months):
1) Most common - It fails to alert me to appointments when the unit is turned off and reboots to the splash screen when turned on.
(I’ve seen this even with no user data or third party apps loaded).
2) Occasionally the XDA doesn’t know how much charge it has and doesn't charge when connected to a supply (I have to turn the battery off and on again).
3) SD card gets erased.
4) Running incredibly slowly (for example the start menu takes 10-20 seconds to scroll down, and switching between applications takes ages).
5) Sometimes the backlight flashes on briefly every 15-20 seconds, until the unit is reset.
I have tried numerous resets, and several complete power downs (which mean the unit needs a lot of setting up afterwards).
ROM Version: 4.00.11 ENG
(from Jeff's Kitchen, worked fine for 6 months)
ROM Date: 06/23/03
Radio Version: 4.21.00
Protocol Version: 32S54
Has anyone seen these problems before?
Is it a hardware fault or ROM / software?
Could it be that the backup battery is failing?
Any help appreciated, thanx in advance,
Muddy.
I could think it's ROM related issues especially with such outdated beta release. I would recommend flashing 4.01.00 or 4.01.16 which has fixes for both the slowness (clear_notify.DB) and the wake up bug.
Thanks,
I've upgraded to 4.01.16.
I've had it 'crash in its sleep', and reboot to the splash screen when turned on, about once a day (3 times in total) since then.
Also, writing to the SD via ActiveSync is problematic, and I have to reset the XDA to gain write access.
I've not seen the other faults so far.
Rgds,
Muddy.
Hi
Unfortunately I was in the middle of upgrading the software to version 172181 when I decided, for some strange reason, to pick the phone up out of the cradle and make a call. DOH!
I can no longer get the phone to boot up / turn on it is just stuck on the low light o2 backscreen and shows
r 1.17.00
g 1337.20
d 1.72.00wwe
Im quite literally just stuck on that screen, the phone wont seem to reset, reboot or hard reset or turn on or off.
I assume im doing the hard reset correctly on/off button and reset button with stylus.
I did see somewhere to use the on/off button, camera button, record button and reset button with stylus but this does not appear to work either.
I don't know whether the condition is terminal or not but anyone can help i would really appreciate it I have a lot of information on there that is very valuable to me.

would you happen to know if there is any way I can manage my contacts from the pc? i searched activesync and there appears to be nothing there. My old motorola bought up kind of a virtual phone on the pc and managing and adding contacts was easy.

It's bcoz the flashing/upgrading/installing of ur fone seems not to be finished. Always follow instruction. If you really want to do something, think twice so you never messed up. nweiz, try to load it again in bootup mode and re-flash it. there are a lot of ROM for the Himalaya, you can download one. Try to search. again, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!
no matter what technique i use my phone still wakes on new sms. ive tried editing the registry, used diamond_tf3d_config, used advanced configuration tool, diamond tweaks... none helped. has anyone else, using a sprint touchpro, been able to solve this problem? i've also reset my phone to stock just in case it was a program i installed that was causing it....HELP! thanks
all the tweaks to disable it were designed for the gsm raphael and do not work on the cdma versions. you should check out s2u2 or touchlockpro
o ok thanks, was getting tired of trying everything to no avail....... thanks man saves me some headaches... by the way slide2unlock2 still wakes up, you just get the slide2unlock2 screen... still annoying to hear screen taps in your pocket when you get text messages, plus it wastes battery life.....
you can set s2u2u to turn back off in 5 seconds. that will leave you with less chance of clicks, or touchlockpro csn be used as it said. it keeps both the screen and buttons disabled so no clicks are possible.
hi to all xda family, i need ur help please.
i am using imate jasjam hermes 100, i am having an annoying problem with my set. The front buttons of my jasjam stop working suddenly, but the light behind the bottom two call buttons still remains on even i go to stand by time using side power key. Sometimes the screen fades away and a blank white screen appears. It seems to me that the the cell hangs temporarily as after sometime it starts working fine (in some cases i have to soft reset the device). but in the scenario described above my cell is in on state as if someone calls me, i can hear the caller tone. i just wanna ask to all of you that if it is a software problem or a hardware problem and how to solve that.
i am using joshkoss manila2d plane jane version with radio rom 1.16.0.0 and hardspl 2.10 installed. i've also tried tai 6.5 roms, but the problem still exists.
