Xda Orbit switching off after upgrading ROM

[qwerty23]

I have recently installed Artemis Touch 4.01 on my XDA Orbit. This seemed fine for a week or 2, but recently, I have found the phone swited off in my pocket (not in standby, i.e. hold power button in for few secs to swich back on).

Could this be a software bug, as this has never happened on O2 firmware?

If the only explanation for this is that the power button has been inadvertently pressed, can the keypad lock be set to lock automatically?

Thanks

Flashed to Touch 4.02 last night and I'm having the exact same problem.

I flashed to ARTEMIS TOUCH 4.02 2 weeks ago and have had my XDA Orbit shut off 7-10 times already. One of those times was when I was on a phone call with a friend. I just reflashed to ARTEMIS TOUCH VANILLA 4.02 today and have already had it shut off on me while I was driving. Can anyone make any sense of this? Any suggestions to fix this horrible problem of ours?

Hi folks,

I had my XDA doing strange things too. Battery status (%) all over the place, fast drain aso. found the XDA switched off. Was thinking about ROMs, SD card (I've a 8 gig one) and BT which I use regular, but the easy solution

I just bought a new battery :D:D:D

Standby is back to 3 days with some use in between, doesn't switch off unintended anymore.

May just think off how old your battery might be and how often you loaded it!

I was also thinking it was the battery so I decided instead of buying a brand new one I would drain the power and start from scratch. Yesterday I drained the battery down to 0% then recharged it. Since then I haven't had it shut off on me. I'll let you guys know the progress on if its fixed or not.. lets hope so. Thanks for the suggestion fun! I'll check back in about 5-7 days letting you guys know what has happened.

i went into settings/today and checked off the check box for htc home, this reset htc home to default settings (but still displays it regardless of the checkbox value) and it's been fine since...


wtf?

i've only had these problems since 4.02, everything was fine until then (I was on 3.xx before that and B&B before that and it's always been fine).

I've also flashed to Vanilla 4.2 with Radio 03.08.90 and the phone cut out on me during conversation and after that it would say invalid simcard.
After that I had it flashed with the original O2 WM6 ROM and radio 03.08.90 and now I have no power drain at all.
I've had it charged almost 25 hours ago and had not used the phone but for one call and just to check the time on it and I am still on 100 percent power. (battery Status)
I am amazed. Before, by this time I would be down to 85 or so percent.
I had just soft reset the phone to make sure Battery Status didn't get stuck on 100 percent but it still says 100 percent after the reboot. So I guess it's true.
The Rom is stable and no turn offs and works great with TomTom too.

This happened to me and flashing never fixed it. The problem is more than likely the battery but I took mine back to o2 (because it is on contract. You have a waranty for the same length as your contract, they just dont tell you). Take it back the shop, if its not your fault they will fix it. In my case they couldn't and they gave me a brand new XDA Orbit and battery.

Alright guys its been 5 days since I posted and guess what? My Orbit has yet to shut off! Woo hoo *knock on wood*. But if any of you would like to try what I did just let you battery drain out until its fully drained Then just charge it until its full again. Please let us know your findings if you do decide to try this out. Hope this solves your problems!
