here are the specs first:
Disco10
2.2-20110529
2.6.32.9
zjd@dtlinuxserver #29
FRF85B
I received my FT3 about 4 days ago and in general it has met or exceeded my expecations. I'm not certain if this problem occured on the stock OS because I flashed to Tims5a very soon after verifying that everything seemed to operate properly.
The problem: the FT3 randomly powers off. It seems to happen most often when I put it to sleep and leave it there for longer than a couple minutes (in fact, I would say that it happens nearly every time I put it to sleep...screen goes dim as expected, then black. I can re-awake from this by tapping the power button and it comes right back on so long as it's been less that a few minutes. However, if it's been longer than a few minutes I have to hold the power button down in order to go through the complete booting sequence).
Possible troublingshooting thoughts: While I'm not sure because I did not use the stock OS for very long, I do not think this happened with the stock OS.
Additionally, while I did not use Tims5a for very long before applying the 2mp camera patch, I do not think this happened before the 2mp camera patch. i will test this soon, but I wanted to post this in case others have had problems or know the answer.
TL;DR - FT3 shuts off randomly when put to sleep.
