Hi, I am one of those who are affected by the WSOD issue. Until about 2 months ago, I was never affected by it, but now if my display is "blanked" for over 15 minutes I get the WSOD.
After looking over the comments in the WSOD ticket and considering my own experience, I am wondering is this not a damage issue. You see, around 2 months ago my phone was knocked from my hand onto the pavement. At the time I considered myself lucky that the screen did not crack, and noticed no issues. But two comments in the ticket history got my wondering: The first is a comment by "leachim" that the problem went away after the physical display screen was replaced; and the second was a comment by "jurg" saying that he stopped seeing the WSOD if he kept the phone "warm". My phone does not exhibit the WSOD problem if it is warm. I did this test by leaving the phone on top of a cheap DVD player which has a warm patch, suspending the phone for an hour, resuming, suspending for 3 hours, resuming, removing the phone from the heat source, suspending for 1 hour and resuming. The WSOD problem only manifested only the final resume. Without heat, the WSOD issue always mainfiests after 15 minutes or more of screen blanking. I used "suspend" to make sure that the screen is blanked, but I don't believe suspend/resume is the cause - I think it is related to blanking. I previously have found and fixed mechanical faults with electrical systems that present or disappear with heat as components come into or out of contact due to heating, so I am wondering if there is a possible damage issue here. My question is: For those of you who experience the WSOD issue: Have you ever dropped your phone? If you would be so kind as to reply off-list, I'll post the results in a week. Regards, Greg. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
