Now I am suspicious of the screen using so much power, and of the phones that are overheating. I was sitting on my couch watching the Bears disappoint me, and kept swiping my thumb upward on the screen as if I was unlocking it. To my surprise, without my fingers being anywhere close to the power buttons the screen turned on and unlocked! I have tried to re-create this and it only happens 1 out of every 10 or 15 times(swiping several times, not just once). If the screen is "off" it shouldn't be drawing any power, and therefor shouldn't come on like that. Might have found a bug! This also sort of leans on the volume bug!
i just tried 50 times and nothing happened.

1 out of 10 or 15 times of doing it over and over again. Not 1 out of 10 or 15 times swiping it.

what? lol i'm trying it now to no avail
I have only successfully gotten it to happen 3 times. All of which where after the phone had been idle for a decent amount of time.
hmm interesting...i'll remember to try and play around to see if it does anything..weird though!
Yea, I didn't even notice it happened at first until I realized I didn't push the lock button. I keep trying to get it to work again.

lol, you never know!
On a serious note, got it a 4th time. I let the phone sit a while, picked it up and started swiping it. Maybe it has to do with the proximity sensor and/or accelerometer being active?
stroking my phone and nothing is happening...
Waiting for the happy ending.
damn man, hate to say but maybe you've got a buggy phone..ive let mine sit fro like 20 min at a time, then i go back and try to do what you're doing..and no amount of touching or swiping wakes her up :\
Damn my phone! Ok, since both the issues my device has are minute and no one seems to be able to recreate them, I am going to ride it out.
If anyone else runs into this let me know! For now I am the oddball.

Caught myself whispering to it while swiping it. Now I have to get a psych consult...
Seriously tried it for 10 minutes straight and couldn't do it. Are you sure that you are not receiving a notification that is waking it up at the same time you are testing it?
And I like being able to turn the volume up and down with the screen off. But my phone goes in a beltcase, not my pocket.

I just tried this, screen is off, music through headphones, volume buttons work just fine. It's not all the way asleep if the music player is running. The iBeats buttons work when the screen is off, too. Although, if you pause for too long, it really does go to sleep, and then you can't un-pause without unlocking and hitting play.

A few weeks ago my Evo 3D started to turn off on its own at random times andwon’t turn on until took the battery out. I did some searching around andnoticed that many people are having the same problem. Also, I have noticed thatmany suggestions were that some app is killing the phone. Well after diggingaround in my phone and un-installing all apps, the phone was still doing it. Inthe last few days I accidently shut the phone off by just moving the batterywhile it’s in the phone. After some more messing around, the phone does shutoff when I push the battery away from where it touches the metal prongs on thephone. If anyone else having the same problem can test out my fix, it would begreat.

that sounds good, but i couldnt find this anywhere.
I guess I should have said "a few" people. I think a loose battery or bad connection can cause random reboots and shutdowns. If you search for those terms you may find some more threads. Here is the one I was thinking of.

i was having the same issue but i read on some posts that the radio was an issue
so i had the old radio on my phone i only flash the newest radio and since then i haven't got no reboots...already a month and my phone is working fine...
My problem is related to ambient temperature. If it is above 90 out it restarts randomly. I go inside and it is fine. This is related to nothing else.
I went to the park with my kids this weekend and had no restarts because it was 70 out. I was at the same park doing the same things a few weeks ago...it restarted every 5 minutes.
After 2 weeks of cool weather, it restarted today because I am wearing black jeans (it was in the pocket) and it is 80 out.
I am going to exchange it AGAIN--I had the same problem with the last one.
I had that problem with my 2nd EVO and they replaced it at the Sprint store. That was a couple days after my 30 days

Anyone know exactly what sleep mode does? The manual says it goes into a low power state but you still get phone calls and texts...what exactly does this do, should we keep it on the stock automatic, or turn it off, or what? I'm confused lol

This is a good question. I wonder if it just throttles down the CPU or something to help conserve battery?

Never have heard of that mode before. It sounds really useful if it can still receive calls/texts and such. It probably similar hibernate mode on other sense versions but keeps the cdma radio alive to monitor the network.
yeah, i don't know how it works, but it doesn't shut hte phone off.
for the hell of it, i did it from 4am to 10am last night..and throughout the night, i woke up and wanted to check time, hit power, and it turned on as if the screen was just off...and hwen i woek up, it didn't drop from 100-90 so quickly aftrer usage either, which was interesting..
So you turned it on while charging Jay? Maybe I'll give it a shot and set mine from like 1am-7:30am and see what happens.
yep, my plan was to do it overnight while it charged to see if the sudden 5 minute drop from 100-90 was siginificantly decreased when i first wake up..wasn't significant, but it worked decently..then again iwoke up 2 hours after i shut it off and didn't start it until an hour into bedtime lol
It disables 4g/3g when the screen is turned off. I had it on tonight and when I powered the screen back up it was actually in the notification tray and it said what it did.
Oh. i use wifi...so you're saying it doesn't really matter then when I use it? Lol
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
I would assume that it mutes the ringer but if it turns off data while you're asleep that's even cooler. I remember JuiceDefender had an option like that.
theres litearlly NO info on it. the manual provides nothing but saying it's a low power state. wish it would explain how, cuz i know for a fact it doesn't shut wifi off or the ringer lol
Nope just disables 3g/4g when the screen is off.
Easy, this is a new feature of this Sense version that allows data connection to sleep dynamically based on the settings(auto/manual). When auto is on it will turn off data when phone is in sleep(screen off causes deep sleep mode), but manual(the time you set is the only time data is off, during screen off).
so wiat wait.....
when it's set to auto, what happens? every time you shut the screen off, 3g/4g turn off?
for that matter, isn't this "enable always on mobiel network"?!?! that turns off 3g after a while.
I leave mine on auto, I am going to test it here shortly to see if there is battery life differences between auto and never.
Here is a picture showing what it does though:
Fyi I tested it...it doesn't shut anything off when the screens off. I woke mine after being asleep for a while and 3g was right on...3g doesn't ever come on that quick on any phone once its turned off. So yeah. I think sleep mode is bs so I turned it off.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
Mine sleeps, I've turned it on quick enough to catch the notification pop off of the status bar... Idk if it litterally turns the data radio off but it does sort is hibernate the phone, and I have caught my data being off before too but I'm uncertain if I had it like that or if wifi did it? But it came right back on without me touching anything so maybe it was sleep mode doing it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I notice that when my Rezound is in sleep mode, sometimes I unlock it and my radio is off, I assume sleep mode is doing this. However other times I unlock it and the radio is on. So my question is, does the sleep mode cycle the radio on and off, like 15 minute pings or anything?

just emailed HTC asking for a detailed explanation on what this does....hopefully gonna find out soon.
I just got a replacement rezound.
ON my last one i got s-off on like the 3rd try.
This time, I have been trying the wire trick for 4 hours non stop. I've used 3 different wires.
I dont know what to do. I'm going nuts. I keep getting it but then it says "error: still sober"
Any ideas? Thanks
What are you using for a wire?
I was trying with a paperclip, and then a twist-tie. Neither worked; tried using them for about 30 minutes.. then I decided "screw it" and took the speaker wire from one of my speakers. Worked instantly without a problem.
IMO, use actual copper-core wire if you're not already. Length doesn't matter too much... the speaker wire I used was 25ft and worked instantly, like I said.

Thanks, I'll keep looking through my drawer of tangled wires and maybe ill find something that works.
No problem; good luck.
I've heard paperclips work sometimes, but wasn't the case for me. I had gotten it to sorta work once, but it ended up "still sober," and kept trying and trying... after 30-45min of trying, I took my speaker cable and did it... and voila, it worked. Literally the instant I double-touched it like in the video it worked. So obviously the paperclip and twist-tie weren't conductive enough. Like I said, a copper-core will probably work the best.
I just tried using a yellow composite cable and still no go. I dont understand how it does it, but then 2 minutes later says "still sober"
Try wire with bare leads if you have something.
Any spare speaker wire laying around? Network cable? Telephone wire?

No I've done it from there too. It's probably the timing. What I do is keep the wire in pin 1 the whole time then when it says to do the wire trick hit the gnd 1 and count to 1 then hit it again an usually works.

Maybe you are tapping it twice very quickly but aren't noticing. Try and keep a demanding and firm yet subtle grip on the wire.

Did you try a complete wipe? It would suck I know, but you may have had an application go to crap on you. Example: Light Flow is great, but on our phones when the phone is off, it activates the solid green LED. It does this even after a restart. This is a known issue, but it was either force the program to shut down each time or uninstall it to fix it.

Dial the number in the screen shot and then Don't do anything! Your phone should reboot and it'll redo the hands free activation and look for a prl, let it do its thing. It should reboot 1 or 2 more times when it's done looking for its updates and then you should be all set

Last night I was sitting down onto "the thrown" withe the phone in my back pocket....it caught somehow and flipped into the bowl. Screen was off....I immediately put it in rice over night....7 hours later I tried it....no go. She's dead. Dead I tell you!
The first power up went OK....here was a weird couple beeps, but it powered up, then when the OS came up it seemed like there were buttons pressed because it started to wig out. I immediately pulled the battery....next powerup it wen right into bootloader mode......but my computer wouldn't recognize it....third power up it' dead.

When it first started having issues and you pulled the battery, you should have put it back in rice for another 8-12 hours.
You should have gave it 2-3 days to dry.

This is right.. If you have any chance of saving the phone, never power it on for a day or so. I don't think rice works that well, i've dropped many phones in water and the best way I have found to actually save the phone is to put the oven on a very low heat, put it in the oven w / the door open, and then let it sit for a day or two.
YMMV, but if you turn it on and it starts acting funky it is almost always 100% dead.
First Cut a hole in a box. ...
Put the phone in the box
And put a hairdryer on low for 6 or so hours.
It is one method used for "baking tape"

agreed, my oven has a warm setting that's about 160-200 degrees. Works well to dry out electronics.
take the phone apart
remove motherboard
clean all contacts with at least %90 alcohol.
put back together and you might be working again.
