First 24hrs with Energy.XPERIA.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.May.16

As someone who's encountered Standby of Death problems with pretty much every WM6.5 + Sense 2.5 ROM I've tried I just wanted to say things 'seem' to be looking quite positive for this Energy.XPERIA.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.May.16 ROM at the moment.

I've been taking really extreme precautions with how slow and methodically I setup this ROM and it survived first overnight on mains power and with alarms set which is generally the most guaranteed trigger for SOD in my experience.

Overall ROM seems very stable and responsive, will post more detail as I go, but would recommend that this ROM version is at least worth a try for people afflicted by SOD

(See attached for full list and step by step instructions of what I've done so far for those who'd like to exactly replicate what's been successful for me so far!)

etere 'may' have had 1 SOD, but otherwise seems impressed

badboy70 Could you confirm what exact ROM version you've flashed?

For more info on potential SOD theories check out the main X1 Standby of Death thread, but I'm afraid there's no single confirmed solution that seems to work for everyone...

Obviously I'll update this post in about 12hrs with results of ROMs second overnight now it's had more use and more things configured, although before 1st night it was already sync'd with PC and Exchange Push accounts so certainly wasn't bare then.

Update: 19th May am - All went good for me with this ROM again for 2nd night. Phone on mains charge and put into standby. Did receive a couple of early (3+5am) morning text messages which woke phone and so I checked those during the night. Alarm then went off as set in morning, was dismissed and re-sounded fine 5mins later. Phone taken off mains 30mins later and has been in and out of standby a few times, all still fine and working as normal :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Im Packing:
Making the Manual and Storage folders did nothing. Placing he files in Storage_Card/XDA_UC/folder installed silently, but on the device...which is what I wanted. I had to make a seperate /Storage_Card/XDA_UC/SD folder and placed which files I wanted to be on the storage card, but it does not install silently. You have to manually choose where you want them to be installed. And in Noonski's thread he states to number the files you want them to install in that order and after that it installs alphabetically. That is incorrect. It installs alphabetically first and then numerically.

Look at the very bottom of my signature on how to extend battery life. :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Awassenaar:
Thank you 'Lokatho' and 'I'm Packing'!

I will try your advice! But I honestly don't know how to flash a radio since i never thought it was necessary. But if my problem continues I will look into that. And Lokatho I know this problem is ROM related because I had the problem before, and I could solve it by flashing a different ROM so i know it is not a problem with my battery. And with NRGZ's other Rom's my battery would last for 2 days or so, which i think is very good for winmo 6.5.

My phone hasn't died anymore since my last post so a will just wait a while before I will try everyones advice because it is a PITA to keep flashing ROM's and reinstalling everything. But I really appreciate it that you guys are trying to help so: THANK YOU!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Im Packing:
Even if your now experiencing better battery life, I still suggest using my tips on how to extend battery life. It still helps and other members who've tried it can also vow that indeed does work.

As for being a "flash whore", like myself, and the troubles that come with it like having to reinstall software, settings, etc. I suggest looking in to Noonski's XDA_UC that NRGZ28 has cooked into his ROMs to make things easier. Or if you want something that requires less knowledge I highly suggest looking in to SPB Backup. It can back-up your device and storage card and restore all programs, settings, registry, etc. It also supports ROM upgrades which makes it very user friendly. I use both XDA_UC and SPB Backup to restore my phone so I only spend maybe an hour restoring my phone back to it's new original state versus an entire day.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Awassenaar:
Ok will try your tips and tweaks! And will use XDA_UC and SPB next time I flash. I allready use XDA_UC for basic things, but never thought about SPB so thank you for that 'flash whore' :p

[help]who can send me a copy of old energy rom(MAY 9 OR MAY13)

Because my Input APP was not compatible with the sense UI of latest NRG ROM ,which caused the sense UI can't be launch. so,who can send me that one released on May 9 or on May 13,with MAXmanilia and based on 21903.

Thanks in advanced:)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Nelthalin:
I had 7 SOD's yesterday. Some when i was doing nothing. And 3 after a phone call. The display just stayed black. You can still hear the connection on the other side. But i had nog way to end the converstation. Only way was to pull out the battery.

I'm going back to 9 may. 16 may is to unstable because of the SOD's. 7 on one day :S never had that many.

Edit: I will try one more reflash + hard reset. If that does not work i will go back.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] s4_squalo:
Confirming the following issues in Energy.XPERIA.21903.Sense2.5.Cookie.May.16.7z:

-phone lock-up (with screen on) while opening and closing the hardware keyboard. Only happened twice when i closed the phone after sending a msg.

-phone often freezing when in standby

I had neither of these issues with the April 18 version of this rom.

Otherwise this rom is fantastic and blisteringly fast, thankyou nrgz! Your work is much appreciated =)

reset combo?

Hi everyone,

So far i checked out a lot of posts about the many updates and new roms NRGZ28 provides us with..So far i have flashed my phone a couple of times and tried to TASK29 my phone everytime i do so (sometimes i forget when i'm so excited tot try the new energy roms;) ) I recognize a lot of the mentioned problems and also experienced a couple of freezes...For some reason my phone is very stable in the latest 23569 builds...Sometimes my phone will restart for no reason, but only when I touch something (i think) while cleaning my screen with a simple cloth or when my phone is in my pocket (It's always locked when i do so). My question is...Does anyone know if there could be some reset combo with xperia buttons that could possibly reset my phone? Or you guys experience this reset for no reason too? If so i could just stay with this version because it's really fast / stable...Or else i have to wait for another update and hope the problem is solved;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zyotty:
is it normal when you press volume keys in 23569 build,default windows volume control will apear instead of htc volume manager?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Nelthalin:
Yes it is :)

Already got my first SOD after the reflash. This time it came out of standby but it was unresponsive. I pressed it again screen went black and would not come back.

I think i will flash the 09 back (dont have the 13 on my pc)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zyotty:
ok.then why can't htc volume manager can't be used?

i tried to install it but no luck.:confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gauthamsv:
Thank you NRGZ

I have flashed several ROMs in the last year. The NRG 23569 GTX is by far one of the best ROMs I have seen. It is both eye candy & stable. It is also very quick, haven't encountered any lag like the previous ROMs.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wallytax:
Are you on sense 2.5 or 2.1? with the 21903 version of the 2.1 version, the manila version shiw up... I am just curious what volume control shows up in the 23569 version with 2.1...

SOD

try turning off the illumination to avoid SOD, it works for me.

using 21903 cookie ROM - 16th May.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Nelthalin:
I'm using the 23569 sense 2.5.

What do you mean with illumination? The light sensor? Because i'm using the same setting as with the 09 rom. Including the light sensor.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] maveyy:
I've got my REAL SOD today. After loading the battery this night I experienced this morning that the device didn't wake up. I've pressed the soft reset key. Then it was booting but stopped at the SE logo. It ususally did now. After a hard reset it happens the same. After few minutes of wait it started normally. But now all my datas were away in cause of the hard reset :/.. Now I'm flashing the 16th one.

What did you experienced came like SOD in that new version?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] maveyy:
Sounds really good. I'll try the same.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] omar.meer:
SOD Issues

I have been having SOD issues with the last several versions of the the Energy ROMs with Sense 2.5. These SODs occur at least once a day. Using the current 23569 Base ROM with Sense 2.5, if disable Sense I have been 2 days with out an SOD.

Could the SODs be tied to a Sense bug and not WM?

PS

Also 2 days running SPB Mobile Shell with no SOD.

Phone powers itself off when battery still half charged

Hello all,

I keep reading about this SOD that people are experiencing with the recent builds. I'm not sure if that is what I'm seeing as well, or if mine is more of a hardware fault.

Multiple times per week, if I leave my X1 unattended for a period of time, sometimes I come back to it to find it powered off. Even pressing the Power button on top doesn't power it on. I have to remove and replace the battery, then press Power, and it will reboot. When it starts up, I usually find my battery level to be upwards of 50%, so I'm confident the battery isn't just draining. It's never turned itself off like this when I was actively using the phone, so I can't tell what might have happened immediately before it shut itself down.

Is anyone else seeing these symptoms? Is this what people mean by SOD? I'm using the May 13th 23569 Energy ROM with 2.5 and CookieHomeTab cooked in, although I've had this problem for a month or more now. Any suggestions are welcome.

And THANKS! to NRGZ28 for an awesome ROM!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] lordblacksuca:
for thoose that want to turn off illumination, well, in some way it could help.

SOD means Stand-by of Death, or Sleep of Death, becouse, when you try to turn on your phone, the screen still black.

BUT, i think thaht the freezes thaht everybody experiment with the screen on are the cause of SOD also. I think that is THATH freeze that freeze the phone also with the screen off, and we call thaht SOD.

of course thaht this freezes occurs more with the screen off for some reazon.

To the most of xperia's owner, the reazon for SOD are Sense + WM

if you want to try something to avoid SOD, look in this thread for my to-do list.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Nelthalin:
Thanks. If i get more SOD's i will try that :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vcoolvin:
I have been using Energy ROM for quiet sometime now, havent faced any major issues, yes a couple minor ones but reading the thread helps and gives me solution. But this time i have a issue, everything was working fine till morning, but now when i connect my phone to the PC instead of the pop up with the option to start active sync, usb drive or internet sharing my cell will automatically start, it was working fine yesterday just today morning infact just an hour ago it started, if i dont connect to comp, it works fine. But then i use comp for sending sms via jeyo mobile companion and also to charge it. I guess i will have to go back to the May 13th ROM. Just wanted to know if it is happening with anyone else.

Start/Settings/Connections/USB to PC. Click on ActiveSync and at the bottom check the box that asks "Ask me first about USB connection type when I connect the device to the PC".

If checked, it will always ask for ActiveSync, USB, or Internet Sharing. If it's not checked, then it will continue to connect on the last setting it was on.

Did you try to "Force ROM Upgrade"?

Thanks Im Packing, that is always checked marked in my cell and i never made any change and thats what is worrying me. I even selected the USB drive method and it would do the same. I hope my device is not gone bad, so checking it again by going back to may 13th ROM. Flashing in progress at the moment.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vcoolvin:
Flash completed and now i am on May 13th ROM and everything is working fine, seems something must have messed up my USB driver or maybe some file corruption, Thankfully it was not the X1 :) well am at work so cudnt afford to try and test anything with the old ROM, I guess will have to continue with this ROM untill a new ROM comes up.

Hello, sorry if this has already been posted but I put your GTX 21903 version on my phone last night and am having a bit of a problem with it. It seems to crash when in standby mode as the screen won't turn on, I've left it for ages and it came on but I couldn't do anything with it.

Is there a fix for it at all??

Hi,

Firstly thanks for your roms, NRG

But recently i have had an issue with this rom

The volume control does not work and the phone turns off when in use even when battery is full.

Could anyone help me plz

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] louis0815:
This is basically a good way to go - but unfortunately the language pack is missing some translations. As a result you get quite a few labels IDS_...... which looks pretty silly and makes the translation almost useless.

Does anybody have the original Energy ROM WWE language files available?

Does anybody have a full set of GER language files for Manila 2.5.2012 Available? Found a few for 2.5.19xx in the forum - are they still the same?

With a WWE and a GER package available it shouldn't be rocket science to translate the missing labels and provide a full GER version......

A solution to the Manila not starting issue

Combining the info from the previous posts, here is a step by step on how to solve the Manila not starting issue:

1-) Download the manilatoday.dll (the .dll file from the .zip posted on page 37 earlier).

2-) Copy the manilatoday.dll file to the Windows directory of your phone.

3.a) Using Total Commander highlight the Manilla.exe file (or the ManillaShortcut.exe file) in the Windows folder.

3.b) Under the File menu select >>>>> and then select Creat Shortcut

3.c) Use the Tree to navigate to the Windows\Startup folder and select it as the destination for the shortcut.

4-) Go to Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items and make sure 'HTC Sence' is checked. I also Unchecked the Today timeout box at the bottom because I am almost positive it wasn't checked in the previous EnergyRom releases. If anyone thinks it should be kept checked please post and kindly explain why.

5-) Perform a soft reset.

Hopefully these steps will work for others as they have worked for me and of course thanks to whoizerwin for posting the .dll file and to madindehead for posting how to create the shortcut using total commander.

72hrs update for Energy.XPERIA.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.May.16

As someone who first encountered and started battling with SOD's back in Nov 09 I'm very pleased to say that I'm now 3 days into using Energy.XPERIA.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.May.16 without SOD, but would suggest that anyone who wanted to replicate/test my success follow the exact steps in the attachment I've uploaded for best chance of success.

The classic Standby of Death (SOD) is when your X1 is in standby (with screen off) and no longer powers back up either to events, sms, calls or pressing the power button. A good way to differentiate this from a bad crash is if you call your X1 number the network will initially pass you back a ringing signal as your X1 is still actively registered to the network even through your X1 won't respond in any way. (So yes magus1972 your issues definitely counts as SOD)

The exact cause of SOD is extremely hard to track down and seems to vary for different people, however it only commonly occurs with a combination of WM 6.5 with Sense 2.5 enabled.

Most commonly when the phone is on Mains charge (not generally PC USB) for an extended period (i.e. overnight).

If you want to read all the theories and past research then check out the main X1 Standby of Death thread

If you're not willing to work through things from scratch in a step by step way then the best advice I can offer is:

- Always flash all ROMs via the SD Card method

- Flash the most appropriate Official ROM first before any custom ROM (Task29 didn't seem to help in my testing with SOD)

- Let the Official ROM do full 1st boot and customise before reflashing any custom ROM

- Let the custom ROM do full 1st boot and network config, then Hard reset and go through 1st boot again.

- Use the custom ROM out of the box with no settings tweaks or extra apps for 1st few days to assess stability

Things I've deliberately not done yet while testing potential SOD triggers:

- Have not restored SMS and Call logs

- Have not set X1 to auto adjust backlight

- Left Weather, Exchange push email, Facebook, etc all on default refresh intervals

- Not yet installed Opera 10 (Unlikely but taking testing seriously ;) )

- Not yet installed Yahoo IMAP personal email (Using mobile webmail atm)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] lordblacksuca:
I think that I removed the SODs by flashing an oficial 6.1 ROM also. then, back to the custom rom.

but, like you, I did many steps at the same time, and when the SODs were gone, I didn't know the exactly fix.
