Hi guys,

My XDA keeps turning it's self on every 5 minutes or so. Even though there are no calls / SMS or events that I can see on the screen.

I've had to turn the backlight off, or it'll turn on in my pocket, and the battery will die within a few hours.

This happens even when I "Stop all" programs from running.

Any ideas?


4.01.00
Radio: 4.01

If you have a German ROM, I would say that it is the HomeZone indicator. The device switches itself on with each BTS change.

Since there is still no official WM2003 release from O2 Germany there is no way to get the Homezone indicator running under that OS. The rilgsm.dll does not provide the appropriate information for HZ.exe to determine the current position (i.e. Gauss-Krüger coordinates of the current cell).

Perhaps other software is reacting to BTS changes? I'm running the 4.00.33 GER by T-Mobile, and this OS version doesn't behave that strangely.

Sometimes however there is a strange delay of a couple of seconds between pressing the power button and the device finally powering off. I've experienced that behaviour with all WM2003 OS versions I'v had installed so far (probably most of them currently around).
