Atom Life: Sometimes the screen goes black after suspend

[Mastiff]

This may be related to some of the software I have on the device, but once or twice a week I turn on the unit, and the screen's totally black. The funny thing is that it isn't by any means locked up. If I use Pocket Controller to dial in, I can use it in a normal way. So it seems it's something that works on the monitor driver. Has anybody else seen this? I have the latest WM6 image.

I think it may be a hardware problem, not a driver problem. You should send it to O2 support.

Thanks for the suggestion. But since they are in Hongkong, and I am in Norway I'm at least going to do a hard reset and run it a few days without the five billion programs I have on it (SPB stuff and lots of other things). Especially since it didn't happen the first weeks I had it, and I have steadliy installed new software. But if that doesn't help, I'm gonna contact Expansys and see what we can arrange.

Just to keep this updated, I have now been running it on the last WM5 ROM for four days, and not once seen the above mentioned problem. I'm gonna do a week, then I will reflash the WM6 image and run that on only the bare essentials (like now: NetRemote, Pocket Hosts, Derago dNote and the O2 plus program suite). The first day I even had an automated script send me E-mail on the account where I have E-mail warnings through SMS every minute for around three hours. Not once did it do anything but wake politely up from suspend and work as it should. Which should be a good sign that something in the WM6 ROM or one of the gazillion programs I installed is the guilty party.
