let me try to explain to you guys/gals, those that have posted previously ... ;)

#1/ your device is NOT off ...it is only in suspend/standby mode .
#2/ to wake up from stanby with wifi ... there's process involved to re-establish internet connection ( or the wifi is trying to )...therefore...by docking the device at that moment, there will be conflict processes...that's why you get WSOD.

let me try to paint a clearer picture...

on my laptop ( with wifi on )...when I close the lid ( putting it in standby/suspend).... once I reopen the lid... you will notice the icon down by the clock will be working trying to re-establish an IP address...etc.. ( it will take some time ... sometimes under 10 sec. ...sometimes more )... during this "re-establish" process... things might be sluggish...NO internet connection yet...etc.

either turn it ON/OFF completely ...or let it come out of suspend fully ...it's like you waking up groggy !...give it time.!

Your PPC works the same ( coming out from suspend/standby with wifi ) !!!...and during this time, if you dock the device...there will be conflict processes !!!

another important thing is...

when docked...your device is going through your desktop as a NETWORK connection.... and when using WIFI...your device is using an IP from your router ... 2 completely different routes. Either one or the other...not both !!! ... once docked...it will attempt to cut off the WIFI connection ( a MS WM5 feature...NO SYNC via WIFI ) ... therefore...when you just comming out from suspend w/WIFI ...and docked right away.. think of the processes involved....conflict galores !!!

and here's why I said you're in suspend mode ...

/ to turn device off...you have to hold the power button for a few sec. and you WILL get a prompt warning that your device will be completely OFF ...you have to tap "OK" after that.

if you did not get this prompt & are only quick press of the power button ..the device is only going into suspend/standby !!!

there is a difference between OFF & STANDBY ... please take a notice of the info above ;)
