Sorry for bumping something from months ago, but the screen on issue is still around with the NoDo rom. Am I the only one concerned about this?

Yeah, the funny thing is that about two days ago my HD2 unlocked in my pocket, and upload some random picture on Facebook, next picture in line was my girlfriend naked - she would beat the bejesus out of me, lucky me...

Why don't you just set a one digit password like 2 or 3 to prevent it from unlocking and u can still unlock it fast
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
Seriously, you have a donate to me sign for yourself? For what might I ask????

What are you doing with your phone in your pocket that it would unlock your phone? (Don't even want to know...eek!)

And why don't you carry your phone in a holster like most people? That way...no "accidental" unlocking in your pocket. Problem solved.

Finally...have you tested if an actual official WP7 phone does or does not have the same problem that pocket carriers seem to have?

Stop reposting old news and go buy yourself a holster.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
what on earth is your problem? can you not say anything nice to people?

Well i dont use a holster and i dont know anyone that does either, but it wouldnt help the issue of the phone turning on when you get an SMS message, i suppose it would help with pushing random buttons, but then you wouldnt catch me dead wearing one, you'd look a bit of a gimp where i come from

ive sent all manor of rubbish back to people that have text me, which is why i use the password locked screen and 30 sec turn off.

The chances of that getting typed in by accident is very unlikely
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
I sometimes get the sound of a picture being taken with the phone in my pocket, with the result that my camera roll has a lot of black, out of focus shots in it.

This is due to the left hand hard key being depressed for a few seconds. It may be that once on, the phone can then navigate to your camera roll and then send mms etc all by being jiggled in the pocket. Dont know if this feature can be turned off, and cant test at the moment
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] superslicer:
I sort of like the screen password solution. But I a sure it will get annoying in no time.

To repeat what hjhjhj said, but in a nicer fashion, get a holster (yuck).

I have a donate thing just cause it's available to me in my profile settings. You or anyone else shouldn't worry about things that have NOTHING to do with the topic at hand.

What am I doing? I am walking, or I happen to go out running.

I will never get a holster, that is what my pocket is for. I've known two people who have used one and either the phone fell out of the holster or the holster fell off them and destroyed the phone after many of those drops. Before you ask, yes it was made for the phones they were using...

I haven't tested an actual WP7 phone cause I don't have one and don't know anyone who has one.

This was just a simple question that I asked, no need to go on about other things. I figured there would be something in the registry to change it so it does not turn on.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] eXtremeLT:
Read few posts here, i see 2 problems mentioned:

1) battery drain

2) camera button that wakes phone

So, i offer you to:

2)If you have nodo/prenodo you can change camera button(green call button) via software to open up not camera, to open call log or any other stuff, and it probably wouldn't work when screen isn't on.

If you don't wanna use any xaps - you can install green mango(i offer blacksides rom) and via settings u can disable camera app to launch from lockscreen.

1)About battery drain:

On prenodo/nodo i had similar battery drain as some1 mentioned, with different roms i've got pretty same result, and i was charging phone every day, and usually everytime when i could - often in evening being not at home phone just turned off because of 12h non charging!

Now: i have blacksides green mango and my experience is:

1) after rom flash and first full charge(over usb cable to pc) i was calling, texting, surfing internet via wifi like 2h, playing games like ~1,5h total, used gps like half hour, don't remember everything exactly what i did, but it was pretty hard usage of phone and battery lasted ~2days!

2) Now i'm on 2nd full charge and currently i'm ill and always near my pc, so i use my phone only for sms+calls, and currently my "battery saver"(new mango function) shows:

Remaining battery life: 52%

Time since last charge: 2days 8 hours

So overall my phone battery lasts ~3-4times better on mango than on nodo/prenodo, so i recommend you to use green mango, anyway there are problems with "sim error" sometimes(usually when you use wifi, when you don't - i had ~3days no sim errors, so that's pretty fine)

So these were my thoughts about your problems, thanx :)

Most people on what planet? I put a case on my phone and I carry it in my pocket. My wife carries her phone in a purse. I refuse to use a holster or wear a utility belt like freaking Batman.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] saffirewing:
I too have a problem with pockets and wp7, but all I can really do is password protect it.

As for the battery not charging completely, I have a tiny fix for that. I too noticed my battery would not charge completely, but it seemed to be an issue with WP7 not reading the battery correctly. It was permanently stuck at 88%. Upon restarting the phone, and reinserting the cable, it was able to charge again til 100%. I'm not sure if that's a problem with Green Mango or what, but I was able to get mine to charge completely that way.

As for battery drain, even with the camera trick and barely any usage, my battery still ends up in the low 15% by the end of the night. I think its just an issue with the ROM that will hopefully get fixed in the RTM release.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pckshd:
Mango RTM still has these problems

Mango RTM still has these problems.

When inside pocket it can be turned on accidentally(camera button or power button) or by reminders, alarms or SMS. So it is very likely that a WP7 will wake up inside the pocket.

But that's not the real problem, the real problem is that the auto sleep timeout (30 secs, 1 min or whatever) is reset every time the lockscreen is touched. Now, can you imagine with which frequency the screen is rubbed inside a pocket? If you are walking or running it could be just every second. The result? Phone keeps on for a long period of time, draining battery and warming up.

Sometimes you don't notice it because luckily you freezed and you gave time for the timeout to happen, but it could have been ON for hours. You notice that when you take it out for use and see the battery meter and think why the heck the phone drains so much battery. And it's just that: WP7 phones have insomnia.

Then comes a second problem, that rubbing inside the pocket can also unlock the phone because the lockscreen will slide up with a very short swipe (2cms). Once unlocked the touch party begins, a lot of apps will be opened, emails written, calls answered/rejected, etc, etc. One good option should be the ability for the user to setup how long to swipe to trigger the unlock.

Some people will enable PIN protection or get a hard case to prevent this. But not the idea. Many use the phone just naked, and if a phone has a lockscreen then it must meet its purpose, it should not be just a screensaver, it must be touchsaver as well.

We developed PocketShield back in the WM6 era, and users loved it mainly because it solved these kind of problems.

I think battery life is one of the most important aspects on mobiles, and the big cons on peoples mouth about phones is always battery life. So hope Microsoft puts a big effort so resolve this on the next update.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rubledub:
pocket txting, dialing, and killing what is already a bad batt life

holsters are for uptight business types or people who want to look important. as i too am NOT batman i opt out of the utility belt!

there were many LITTLE things that WP7 lacked and were easily overlooked! my phones random uploads, txts, random settings changes, useless battery drain and the like from within my pocket were not.

yes you can PW protect but if the phone still recieves stimuli in pocket, even with a PW, you still have the useless battery drain. with the way these roms chomp up the battery to begin with its hard to overlook!

this issue was the determining factor of me jumping back on the Android bandwagon and leaving the little appreciated WP7 ( LOVED THIS OS TOO!!! )

has anyone redesigned a better/different lock screen? perhaps found the registry value to disable the screen waking on notifications? ANYTHING would be great!

thanks!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkkoushirou:
Hi!

Well I've tried to find an aswer here, on other forums and of course with regular search engines but couldn't find a fix for this.

I've set two alarms in my stock Sense alarm aplication (I use two with 15 mins between them because I like to oversleep alot :p ). Since a couple of days ago this alarms are stuck at the time I set them back then. It was set to 11:30 and 11:45 AM on all days the week. And now the alarm goes off EVERY time, even if I turn off the alarm or set another time (where it also goes off, as it should).

So I think the alarm I set back then is stuck somewhere in the system. I tried to find something in the registry and tried "MemMaid" to unstuck hanging notifications (It found hanging notifications and cleared them, but it didn't solve the problem).

O yeah, of coure I did a soft-reset and I didn't help. I think a hard reset would fix the problem but I think that would be an overkill for just the alarm...

Maybe some of you know where the alarm could be so I can kill them...

Here are my specs:

OS: WinMo 6.5 - 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)

ROM: (T-Mobile Stock) 1.72.111.4 (86525) GER

Manila: 2.5.20121429.0

Radio: 2.15.50.14

Thanks in advice! ;)

People expect infinite support for their devices :|

When you buy a car, would you expect the intake manifold to be changed for the "new model" once it comes out?

When you buy a TV, would you expect it to be upgraded to the new XXXXp instead of the 1080p?

Usually, support is only to fix things, not to upgrade! We are getting FREE upgrade to the new os' (Froyo, Gingerbread) , we should consider it a favor!

How much windows 6.5 phones had an WP7?

Apple is providing updates, yes, but don't forget they charges for it...

The big UP for android devices is here, the Devs that works hard on theses devices and provides FREE upgrades and optimisations. Honesly, if you use any of them, you should pay them a litlle something for their har work.

Now stop being a brat and enjoy what you have!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zeroculture:
When I first got my phone I felt kind of cheated, as I was hoping Samsung would actually start treating their customers properly and provide timely updates and all that. I honestly tried to follow the rules ... But then I flashed my first copy of froyo.

Best thing I ever did ... now countless flashes later, some just for fun, and I am really enjoying this phone. Sure it may not be supported at the end of the year, and yes there will be better ones out there ... but quite frankly with the community that exists here ... this phone will be around for a while to come.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] davidaryan:
I can see your point but it’s not that cut and dry. When I buy a car, if certain aspects don’t work I’d expect them to be fixed. In the automotive industry, in a lot of cases if there is a widespread problem with the product, they will issue a product recall. Sometimes I think the ability to flash almost gives vendors a licence to supply products not fit for purpose and maintain a ‘fix it later’ mentality or worse still not do anything at all. I experienced the same thing with Windows Mobile devices, that’s why I jumped ship and went to Android and the Galaxy. I don’t care so much about upgrading to Gingerbread though I would like to see the array of problems such as Exchange support, battery life, hangs and etc sorted out (the functionality I paid for).

Apple may charge for their upgrades and its great Apple users have the option. We don’t. I’m sure many Galaxy S owners would be more than happy to buy an upgrade if one was available.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Billus:
We've had 3 official major updates (2.1 (bug fix updates), 2.2, 2.2.1) in the space of 6 months for this phone, I'd hardly call that slow.

You guys expect an update everyday or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] milro1970:
True and not true.

Not all devices could be upgraded to 2.2 or 2.2.1 yet. Mine had 2.1 update 1 while 2.2.1 was out and KIES didn't offered me any upgrade. I was forced to 'hack' KIES to receive the 2.2.1 (JPY) update which, by the way, works fine.

And yes, to answer another post, nobody should expect infinite support for the device. The real problem is the commercial model that the manufacturers have happily embraced: device-software tight together with no option for the end user to buy the next version of the OS and install it in order to force us to an expensive upgrade cycle. This is something we have to fight against it. In the mean time I expect free upgrades like service packs that are fixing problems and enabling features promised by the manufacturer. In my case the only reason I upgraded to 2.2.1 was Flash. If I could have it with Eclair I had no reason to upgrade.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Quadrant scores doesn't tell much. Only that the file system used is not optimised so lagfix change it to Ext4. Extended results shows that all other parts of the bench are higher than most other smartphones. If you're not sure on what a result from a benchmark mean, you shouldn't consider the scores...

Anyway, the device sold to millions, so you'll get the best support theire is: XDAdev's devoted users!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Question i ask is why Quadrant how can you prove its better than another benchmarking tool also odd that other tools dont get a mention .

If Eclair is Q 1500 Lagfixed Q2200 Froyou Q1500 Lagfixed Q 1750 .And with Froyo lagfix phone is least laggy of any of the benchmarks then does it not say that in the world of benchmarking Quadrant does not do the job its supposed to .

Its not the phone that has got slower is it .

My SGS is neither cinese nor dranked though i have not tested dranked ( darkys brother ??) with Quadrant .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
First off, the benchmarking scores doesn't mean squat... nothing, nada, niet!

Then, you should read a little more and try to understand rather than assume. As it was said many times, the main issue with the SGS is the media used to keep the system and to keep files. Rather than using a seperate (and faster) media, it uses "internal SD" with RFS, wich is somehow slower than Ext4 (or other FS used in most android devices).

What happens is, when you access files, installs, removes, etc... it is prone to slower read/write than others.

altough this is part of the issue, it shouldn't be "that bad". So if you are having lag issue, you should consider theses:

-Do a full hard reset. Reinstall applications one by one and test in between. One of the application MIGHT be the cause

-If you suffer lags even after a hard reset, consider RMAing the device, you MIGHT have a defficient devices wich has an hardware issue. I don't know what is the specific failure rate of SGS, but overall hardware manifacturers usually have a return/failure rate of under 10%

-If you want help from the comunity, please take the time to write full sentences, be as much specific as you can be and DON'T, I repeat DON'T expect much help if you don't take the time to write to be UNDERSTOOD...

Honestly, I assumed that this is what you meant (after 3 pages of nonsence). I am not even sure yet on what this is about...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sonci:
I don't think the file system is the problem with lag.

2.2.1 is still RFS and is lagfree. I think they implemented some kind of gpu acceleration because its totally different with previous firmwares.

Also in laggy firmwares even after applying laggfixes the lag was there only Quadrant scores were up..

However certain applications like contacts or messaging could be faster
