I kept going to the 100% wake time also before I had to reset it like 4 times. I'm hoping it stays this time since the update.

notes after a factory reset that I did:

updated the PRL, Profile, and Voicemail (I made sure I checked the Unknown Sources options under Applications before I upgrade the voicemail) Also I downloaded the handcent sms and unchecked the setting options in the stock messenger and made sure hancent sms was the default)---I guess now you can download the current update if this resets. I'm not sure.

Just a fast reply of what I did.

P.S. by the way under development I did check the Stay awake and left it pluged in. Don't know if screen shutting off messes the installs up or anything.
