TMob 4.01.16 - Keeps on turning itself on

[ozsmac]

Hi All,

Just a few issues I'm having with the T-Mob 4.01.16 ROM, anyone else? Anyone got any ideas on fixes?

1 - Keeps on turning itself on (i've confirmed that active sync has no schedule). People have suggested for the known bug in XDAII to kill the activesync process

2 - Text message on-screen alert, doesn't turn the XDA screen on

Cheers - Steve

Somebody else was having a similar problem but thought it was the sim toolkit causing it.

It's doing this to me as well.

Seemed worse when I ran the tAgenda today plugin, but it didn't completely stop when I removed it.

If enough of T-Mobiles customers notice it and complain there should be a fix coming out soon enough. Or perhaps it is not there if you run the T-Mobile applications that came with the ROM?

My turn-ons seem tied to the schedule that Inbox goes out to check the email. whenever the screen comes on and I go look, Inbox is in the middle of an email download.

I have tried re-flashing the ROM and making no modifications to it, it still turns on on a regular basis.

This has been a problem at some point for all PocketPC based devices, my old Cassiopea, Compaq and Dell have all done this at some point (fixed by ROM update eventually). Oh well, waiting once more won't kill me, but will kill my battery.

The problem does not seem to exist in the AT&T Rom, but it is a common thing in the TMOs beta and this latest release. It is bad when you leave the phone and it redials the last number called ( either in or out!)

Also the SD card does get erased, even when formatted in BACKUP FAT and named properly. The best cure is to keep it locked until you need to add or remove something from it and keep a back up of the SD in a folder in your PC.

My wife is getting jealous of the amount of time I spend tinkering with my XDA 1 and 2 phones and shows off her simple phone! :shock:

If nobody beats me to it I will compare the registry settings of the 30.09 and the 4.01.16 to see if I can find anything.

bamse: If you find anything to do with the fading volume in the AT&T rom whilst traulling through the reg, and can remove the "feature" from the AT&T rom you would simply be classed as a LEGEND! :lol:
The T-Mo rom still doesn't seem to be as slick as the AT&T (if only it didn't have that stupid fading volume)

Mine keeps switching itself on as well (4.01.00 ENG) - I had always thought that it was something to do with hitting the power switch when I put it into my trouser pocket, as it has powered up when I return to my desk and take it out again. Although it seems hard to see how the power button can be accidentally pressed when putting the XDA into a pocket, especially when the button is below the contour of the case.

I would be interested to find out why this is happening.

I also noticed that the vibrate function no longer works. I have the following setting configured: "Settings, Phone, Sounds, Ring Type: Vibrate" and my XDA does not vibrate when it rings. Then I pressed the side volume button and selected vibrate (the icon next to the time changes to a vibrating XDA), and it still will not vibrate. Setting other notifications to "vibrate" also does not work.

I seem to remember it vibrating when I had an earlier ROM version (3.20.06 ENG), but not in this current ROM version (T-Mobile 4.01.00 ENG).

Can someone please confirm that I have the settings correct?

I have now installed PocketZenPhone, and it also does not work for vibrate, although other users of this program report no vibrate issues. PZP is a great program, it works really well.

I think there maybe a vibrate bug in this current ROM version (T-Mobile 4.01.00 ENG).

Has anyone had anything like this happen to them, or heard of others who have?


Thanks,

A few more observations on the T-Mob ROM;

- GPRS does not have a disconnect button, the AT&T ROM had this feature, very handy

- My signal appears to be much less stable with the T-Mob ROM

I'm going to roll back to the AT&T and put up with the volume clipping, it's far better than an unstable device, that you can't disconnect the GPRS on without turning the radio off+on & keeps on turning itself on!
