Hi MDCole9761,

I was experiencing the same problem, but I can't honestly say I know how I fixed it. My experience was that the PE would go into whitescreen if I'd wake it up from standard screen timeout or from hibernation. I'd let the screen timeout again, and hit the home or menu button to wake it up. Most of the time I'd get the unlock screen, but sometimes I'd still get the whitescreen. If I got the whitescreen again, I'd try the process all over and just hope I'd get the unlock screen.

Some things that I've done since the last time I experienced this issue are:
- Installed a new launcher, Zeam, available here (You will need an account to download): http://tinyurl.com/35hteo2
- Added shortcuts to the home screen
- Added a couple of widgets to the home screen
- Rebooted
- Temporarily enabled Debug mode (Menu -> Settings -> Edge Preferences -> Default Device Preferences. You'll need the password, "89985b36B7906bFfF"). More info here: http://tinyurl.com/6h9q3gp I only did the first part... didn't go all the way with the adb process.

I haven't seen the white screen for a while now. I'm not sure it's actually fixed, but I'm hoping it is. Hope this helps.
