Thanks for your POINTLESS ANSWER!

I did a search, & all that is found is page after page of dross, with people saying "it might be this, it might be that... is it the radio version..? is it your storage card, is it too many apps in the background!? BLA BLA BLA

To save time... for all you no-patience types....

WM6 Dutty v2

My radio version: 1.40

storage card 2GB Sandisc... 250MB left, with Tom Tom 6 & European maps... only activated when manually run.

Any background programs like weatherpanel? - NONE

DO you know the Answer or not - YES or NO!?

Don't waste my life with cocky responces. - If there is a definitive SOLUTION, state it, instead of your pompous snobbery!

"Your kind answers welcome." - What's the point of even being polite to you people?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
Well if you found another thread......

Don't waste my time with a new thread to read.....MAYBE post your question in the ORIGINAL thread:mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hypersonic:
wpbear - Reading the thread that i found does not offer up a definative solution.....

Is there one that you know of? - if so then just say it please.

I'm not some teenage snot noob, I'm a 37 year old professional, running a company... I have better & more important things to do with my life than trawl through pages & pages of threads.

Either answer my question with an answer that SOLVES it - or remain silent.

Thankyou

There are other threads on this matter, but no solution has been found yet.

All the WM6 roms I've tried have had this problem.

For me it happens 2/3 times a day if I set IMAP mail to check periodically.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spinefixr:
I had this problem with every WM6 rom too. I solved it by disabling the auto download/sync with my IMAP email accounts. I set it to 'manual' to check for email, which is a pain, but my 8525 wakes up every time now. I used to have this problem several times per day regardless if I was going through different singal networks (as people said it was that problem)...also people said it was my memory card, it was not as it happened regardless if that was installed or not.

Once I stopped autodownloading and syncing of my IMAP email, all was fine. i hope this works for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ishra:
This seems like a fairly major bug!

Activesync works fine. Shame you can't sync two exchange accounts over the air! It would be interesting to set up an IMAP server and look at the logs to see where it is getting stuck.

I found also that the mSD card made no difference.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hypersonic:
Hmmm

Interesting, i DO have my Pop3 account to auto send/recieve every 10 mins.. I've just disabled it... & shall see what it does...

So this is looking like a WM6 generic bug.... I wonder if Black's 3.01 which is based upon a slightly newer core build from M$ has addressed this.... But i'll wait a while from updating my rom... as it seems pretty stable in all other areas.

P.S . Thanks for the polite & informative replies!!! :D

It has the same problem and so does the latest LVSW.

It's a bit of a bummer actually! Not sure what to do about it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mitchg:
Very common problem - no answer

This is the same problem that MANY of us have. I've read its possibly due to the Sandisk microcards (a Kingston is supposably more reliable,) but most people are reporting its due to email checking while the device is in Standby. It has NOT been corrected with the Latest ROMs or OS's. Good luck - if you find an answer let us all know!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JasenR:
Damn, where did I put that silver platter....:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ishra:
I think that mSD cards can cause the problem, but I've had it happen many times without a card in the slot.

My gut feeling is that something goes wrong while checking the IMAP mail. Remember that the machine is woken by a notification and is in a state where it is on, but the screen and sound are off. I have noted that activesync is much quicker at checking than IMAP. Perhaps it takes too long sometimes and thus becomes stuck.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattlehrer:
By any chance are you locking the phone with 'Device Lock'?

My phone (on any version of WM) would lock up at least once per day.

I found that if I stopped locking the phone using device lock and just switched the phone into standby with the power button, it hasn't locked up since.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chymmylt:
On my phone I have 100% connected this issue to leaving the WIFI on and letting the phone time out into standbye. While I do have the Taiwan 2GB Sandisc mSD card - the problem happens regardless of if the card is in the phone or not. The problem only ever occurs on my phone if I have the WIFI on and let it timeout. If the WIFI is disabled, it NEVER has this issue and if I manually put the phone into standbye (tapping off button) it almost never has this issue. With WIFI left on, I can expect my phone to freeze on average once or twice a day!

Now there may be many issues that cause this with differnt phones but this is what happens on my phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JasenR:
I don't have the problem anymore, but when I did have it using different ROMs it was always when it timed out with WIFI on. Having read all the threads on the subject I to think there are several things which are causing it for different users.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abubasim:
I saw the same problem on my old Prophet. The solution for that phone and it's AKU2.0 ROM was to set backlight and standby timeouts to the same value.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ribbit:
I've had this with:

WiFi off;

Email off;

Device lock off;

Power at 90%+.

And all of the above at the same time, hehe. :)

With computers, it can be something that appears completely unrelated, that causes the problem.

As an example, I once built a new machine (I've been a custom system builder for more years than I care to remember), that kept coming up with hard drive errors, massive hard drive failures, loss of partitions, you name it. Even with known good hard drives.

I changed the IDE controller. I changed the motherboard. I changed the memory. I changed the CD drive. I changed the powersupply. With all known good components.

Same errors.

I gave up, and went to bed to sleep on it (usually a very good idea when a problem is wearing you down).

In the morning, I realised that the only thing that I hadn't changed at least once, was the graphics card.

Yep, it was the graphics card that was persistently producing hard drive errors, hehe.

My guess is there's some sort of driver incompatibility (some companies have a very bad track record regarding their competence at supplying decent, compatible drivers), or clash with a couple of otherwise unrelated apps. Something like that.

My gut feeling hollers ATi driver (I think I have had more headaches caused by ATi drivers the last approx 20 years, than everything else put together).

Could well be wrong, but might give someone an area to start looking.

"Don't waste my time with a new thread to read.....MAYBE post your question in the ORIGINAL thread"

Thread title was clear enough.

Exercise discretion upon what you click.

It isn't compulsory.

You wasted far more of your own time by answering.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] deepdiver00:
My Hermes has the same problem and only when the screen/buttons are locked. I will try to set the timeouts as you suggested and see what happens. It was not a problem in Black 2.0.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hypersonic:
Hi

Regarding Wifi... I usuall have it off, unless i'm using it.... so it can't be that.

I disabled my mail account auto connection last night... & left the phone....

Now it WAS plugged into the charger, but upon clicking on the phone power button this morning, it DID come out of Standby!!! :-)

However... as i noticed already, when the battery is full or over 50% it did seem to want to come out of standby.... only when the battery starts to run low, did it refuse to wake up...

I'll let the power run down today.. & let standby activate..... now that the email auto connect is disabled, if it DOES still fail when the battery is getting low... then we know it is something to do with the power...

If it DOES come on, with low power, then it will point towards the email problem...

"set backlight and standby timeouts to the same value." = Well this is an interesting little quirk..... I'll give it a try too. - Cheers

I'll let you know.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Averni:
Problem solved (for me at least)

I had this problem with precisely your symptoms.

Having been frustrated by this for numerous configurations (ROMS, Radios, settings), I managed to find the culprit in my case. I stress that there does appear to be numerous reasons cited for this issue on these forums.

In my case the problem was with ActiveSync being scheduled to check for e-mail "As Items Arrive" (I am synchronizing with an exchange server over a VPN).

I believe it to be something to do with the data connections being 'live' while the radio is switching between modes (HSDPA, 3G, G) or cells in 'standby' mode.

Changing the ActiveSync schedule to 'manual' stopped the wake-up problem but, obviously, moved me out of the push e-mail world. :(

However, since I moved to Black v3.0.1 the problem has disappeared. I flased back to Black v2.0 (as I had also upgraded the radio to 1.40.30.10 and wanted to eliminate the radio rom from my enquiries) and the problem re-occured. ...moved back to Black v3.0.1 and it disappeared again. :D Get in!

I now remain convinced that it is a bug in either the previous WM6/WM5 OS builds (JJ - respect - is using a new OS build in Black v3.0.1) or a bug in ActiveSync in those previous roms.

My sig contains my latest config. I sincerely hope this helps you with a very frustrating problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ribbit:
Ok been reading around some, and Google got me to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=297717

ATi Imageon patch (Sleuth255) discussed there, and noticed one comment by luchino san about a TCPMP setting to:

Options - Settings - Ati Imageon --> "Keep Ati driver active";

Would I be wrong in thinking the issue involves what the ATi driver is doing when it is going "inactive"?

From Sleuth's post 1:

"ATI released 3 files as part of their DDI update: ace_ddi.dll, ahioem.dll and a hidden little configuration file named atihwtbl0.txt. It's this little text file that contains the magic since ace_ddi.dll uses it to configure several settings at startup. I haven't fully analyzed the changes yet and am in the process of doing this now but at first glance they appear to either move or increase the size of several video buffers in memory. It almost looks like there was an overlap issue with audio buffers "

Which to me kinda confirms clashing apps/drivers.

I don't know if that patch of Sleuth's will have any bearing or impact upon this issue, but I am prepared to try it with my LVSW install (which is working fine for me at the moment). Now there is a CAVEAT which I am not sure applies to those of us that have updated to various flavours of WM6 - and Sleuth's post was dated 14th March, so not that long ago:

"The above settings are workarounds however since the full benefits of this fix will only be available if the setup file is used in conjunction with the latest versions of the ATI drivers. Unfortunately, these drivers must be "baked" into a ROM. Do not try to install these drivers! You will brick your device if you do and a hard reset will be necessary to fix. Install the attached cab file instead and wait for the chefs here to build the new drivers into their next ROM release."

So imo an install of the cab file might be worth a gamble on serendipitous side effect, hehe.

NB. If someone has used this Sleuth patch and not had the freeze issues (may not have associated a connection), it may be worth noting here.

If I brick it, I'll holler back here. ;)

ETA: Averni, I got the freeze problem also with Black v3.0.1. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ribbit:
Ok patch downloaded and installed, phone booted ok.

Probably won't know if it has helped the issue though, until later today/tomorrow morning. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Averni:
Ribbit,

Really sorry to hear that the move to Black v3.0.1 was not a solution for you. It's frustrating. Does the ActiveSync approach work for you? Not ideal, but at least you can receive phone calls!

I have no problem with you starting a thread on this. If the other threads have died on the issue with no clear resolution, then we need to keep trying...

Good luck.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ribbit:
Ah no worries Averni, I've been trying all sorts things, different roms, etc., as much for pushing the learning curve, as appreciating what all the chef's are up to with their cooking.

I really do love trying things out. :)

I haven't seen anything directly in any threads that have thrown up a possible link to this freezing issue being potentially from ATi driver issues, and I'm grateful to the OP doing this thread, for triggering my increased searches (based on memories of prior ATi driver issues over the years).

I am now somewhat convinced much stems from ATi driver issues.

There 'may' also be other related driver issues as well (Sleuth mentioned sound - "an overlap issue with audio buffers "), and you do have to wonder where A2DP/Bluetooth fits in with all this.

One badly written driver can be bad enough, two or more on the same system, can be an appalling nightmare to resolve. :(

Still fingers crossed, Sleuths ATi fix 'might' just have the necessary serendipitous side effect. If it does, we all owe him a beer. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Averni:
I think you may be onto something with the ATi drivers. They're certainly causing me no end of problems with my Desktop Vista box (BSOD: BAD_POOL_CALLER). :mad:

Keep up the good work of building up the emperical evidence for solving this standby issue... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ribbit:
I'm out on the road for a few hours, so I'll throw the sim into a spare phone, and leave this locked and on standby with a different carriers sim in it, and see how things look when I get back.

@hypersonic: we are not here to serve you. You need to use the search tool and find your own answers. This is a development forum, not the helpdesk of the company you run. I will not tolerate this attitude. I'm also a professional, and I am honored to "troll through pages & pages of threads" here because the people posting in those threads are contributing their time for the good of the community.

When wpbear gave you the initial answer, your best "community oriented" response would have been to follow his suggestion then create a development thread with the results of your research. This is an endemic Hermes problem and a definitive synopsis of the underlying problems could go a long way towards its eventual solution.

I think you should lock it bro. There's a lot of articles written about this. But no real solution by anybody other than installing all apps in the flash. I guess it just cannot be solved until such a time when Microsoft gets their act together. (Or all the 3rd party apps developers)

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockwacke:
Hi everyone, I've just bought an Xperia z2. I'm having low fps in games like asphalt 8, real racing 3. It was the same with kitkat, i updated my phone to lollipop but nothing's changed. I'm still having low fps. I searched on net but it looks like nobody is having the problems like me. I'm getting about 41000 points in antutu. My phone is not rooted. Please help me with this problem.

Note: Sorry for my bad english :D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artasdmc:
What do you mean by low fps? Asphalt 8 is a very GPU intensive game, all Snapdragon 800/801 chips with adreno 330 get average fps of 32, it drops to 24 sometimes.

Unless for you it's real choppy, like with stutter or real low framerate like 10 or something, try a factory reset. Do it from recovery to completely wipe everything. And if that doesn't do anything, could be something with your phone.

And where did you put those games? Maybe you put them on external SD card? It may be slower compared to built in memory which could result in game stuttering constantly.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
this can depend on the quality of your MicroSD

i thought it may be specific to S800/801 because anything that's not a 800/801 has much less of a hard time playing games
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockwacke:
I have a class10 microsd. Anyway the game was already installed in phone storage. I moved it to my sdcard, nothing changed.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
Those racing games are capped at 30 FPS max, even if your GPU is capable of doing more, in order to save some battery and prevent over heating. I am assuming you have a past full of games like them so your eyes are educated of catching the "between-frames" thus making you think the game is not rendered smooth enough. Most probably nothing is wrong with your phone.
[Zooper Widget General] siealex:
Why are all progressbars rectangular? Is it possible to make them e. g. triangular or trapezium shaped (like standard wi-fi bars in Android or antenna bars in Symbian)?
[Zooper Widget General] Ratchet_Guy:
Well, the quickest answer I can think of say for a triangular one, would be to use three straight progress bars and simply rotate them and 'assemble' them into the shape of a triangle, and then set each one's min/max value to a different set of the range of whatever variable you're tracking, so Bar1 would have a min/max of 0-33, next one - 33-66, last one to 66-99 if you're tracking a var that scales 0-99 etc.

And in Advanced Parameters for each bar use some logic statements to make sure the bar doesn't display any selected value if the the var you're tracking is outside its range. (i.e. to have the selected segment 'jump' from one bar to another if you're trying to make a bar that shows one particular segment highlighted instead of a steady typical progress bar that fills up as the value goes up).
[Zooper Widget General] siealex:
No, it's not what I need. I need a triangle that smoothly fills with solid color depending on a parameter. Imagine a usual rectangular progressbar, cut it diagonally and take a half of it.
[Zooper Widget General] Ratchet_Guy:
Well the same premise would still apply, you would just choose Normal mode so that the progress bar just fills up normally, with no segments, highlights, etc.

I think it's difficult to describe in words, both of what we're talking about, so, do you have a link to some images of what you're trying to accomplish. From anywhere(s).

If I could actually see it I could maybe come up with some solution(s).
[Zooper Widget General] siealex:
Something like this.
[Zooper Widget General] Ratchet_Guy:
Absolute impossible!! Cannot be done! You should just give up, buy an iPhone.

Or...

Do it like this - 60 seconds or less:

1. Make your progress bar

2. Make a rectangle slightly bigger than that, place it OVER the progress bar, make sure it is any color except one of these.

3. In the rectangle settings ROTATE IT to your angle of choosing, then....where it says "Drawing Mode" choose "CLEAR".

4. Watch the magic.

Extra Gold star if you can make something like the second two pics. Go bananas. Zooper is fun!!!
[Zooper Widget General] siealex:
This is a better variant, but this rectangle will clear off anything under it. And what will I do if I need to place a text there?
[Zooper Widget General] Ratchet_Guy:
Umm....you put the text...over it?

In the module manager you'll see the order from top to bottom of each element, they are drawn in this order, so if you want to see the text where the rectangle previously cut it out, just drag the text elements to the bottom of the list.

See attached example.

And as bonus tip - to get the jagged edge thing, or any other shape imaginable, create or download a png file that has the background transparent, then place it over your progress bar (or whatevers) and instead of "Clear" choose "XOR" and it will give you the shape as a cutout, like a cookie cutter.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silverblade.nz:
If you're connecting to a TV, I found out a while ago that it depends on the TV and the adapter.

Some adapters have to have external USB power to work.

Other adapters can be powered directly through the HDMI cable but that depends on if the TV supports that feature, if it doesn't then you have to use the external USB power (You can use a spare USB port on the TV).

I hope this Helps
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayone:
It's for a mobile solution, Video Transmitter which only accepts HDMI v1.4.

Do you know which MHL adapters don't require external power, or is it a cable/phone thing? I could get external 5v, but then I'd need a BEC or another battery.

The Note 4 has MHL v3; has anyone successfully connected it to an HDMI source without external 5v with an ebay cable? If so which one?

Thanks.
