Ok folks.. I am having a weird problem.. when I open up my screen and start typing a reply to a TXT message my display shuts completely off.. the keyboard lights stay on, but the display shuts off and I have to hit another key to turn it back on.. anyone experience this before? I'm using the 'official' AT&T wm6..but I have experienced it with all WM6's..
i kinda get this sometimes, dunno if its only on txts (maybe it is), but sometimes when i'm typing display goes off and keyboard light stays on, its not so bad that its inconvenient though, so i just ignore it
yeah, thats the main thing, its inconvenient and annoys the hell out of me. lol ..
It happens to me too. I think it's just a software issue that will be fixed in a new rom eventually.
Ok, I'm glad I'm not alone with this problem.. lol... thanks.
If i remember correctly go to setttings->Buttons->Backlight and uncheck "Enable keyboard backlight auto sensory" and it stops doing that...
but yes i experience this too and just unchecked that box (i used to uncheck it everytime i flashed a new rom but i haven't done it in a long time so i can't remember if it fixes this issue or not.)
Will report back later to see if it worked
Any way to stop this.. I used the registry to stop it from waking up due to my magnetic case.. i have the notifications to make a noise and flash the led... i dont want it to come out of standby to tell me about an upcoming appt (the dismiss/snooze notice) cause i keep pocket running apps or pocket dialing my sense 2.5 front shortcuts!
ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!

Try this: Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event: Reminders > uncheck "Display message on screen."
I hope that solves the problem!
thanks! i will try that and get back to you
UPDATE: damn... this doesnt work... for "reminders" in settings/notifications i only have flash light, play sound, and vibrate selected and the screen/phone wakes up/resumes and if it had been in my pocket or whatever i'd be calling people.. any other ideas?

Sorry about that. I just noticed myself right now that my phone woke up for a reminder.
Hmm... I don't know, but I think you should get a working screenlocker. I use TouchLockPro (now you can use your zoombar as an unlock bar). I set it up so that when the screen wakes, the phone instantly locks.
If you decide to use TouchLockPro, the settings are a little hard to understand (I followed the Settings instructions in the developer's website). If you need help with the settings, or if you want an example of my settings, feel free to PM me.
try this ..
warlock...thanks for that cab.. but it didnt work...at least not for calendar reminders.. i will test it on txt msgs as that would help as well
sumflipnol: thanks.. i guess i will have to look into screen locks.. its just annoying cause im fine with the "screen lock except for power button" behavior of winmo.. but if it could just stay asleep for the reminders (other than the sound/led/vibrate options) it'd be perfect
ill let you know if that locking program works out for me
hold down the end button
locks the screen wont but dial or open apps when the screen wakes up

I believe you're referring to the default Windows Mobile SmartLock (auto-lock). I have that on my phone, and it's not very reliable. My phone sometimes wakes up on my desk, and I notice that Sense2.5 is active (SmartLock obviously failed to auto-launch the WM screenlock). From my week-long experience with TouchLockPro, the screen locks immediately without that small lag, and it's very consistent.
There must be a way!
I'd like to ressurrect this thread to see if anyone has any further ideas.
I also prefer to just use the power-button method of putting my phone into standby rather than mess around with screen locks or anything.
I've disabled wake-up-on-SMS. But it still wakes up whenever there's a reminder for an appointment.
Surely there's a way to stop this behaviour!....
It's an open question, so far...
As many of you, I would like to disable the device wake up for reminders. Same as you, I just want the sound and / or light notification for them.
I've been searching WEB, all XDA forum and my phone registry but I haven't found anything useful for reminders, just for SMS.
The same issue has been posted in other places (for example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615633) but there's no final answer yet.
Definitely, lock screen is not enough, because if the device wakes up and the screen turns on, it can keep on for a long time (caused by the screen being pressed because the phone movement inside the pocket) and battery drains very fast.
hey is there a way to turn off auto rotate for just the phone dialer menu? cuz i hate when im tryin to get a girl # and i have to wait a moment because my crap didnt stay on the normal dialer .. is there any way i can fix this without turning the full phone rotate off?
Totally, I hate it when my phone ****-blocks me
Me three, mine sits sideways in the car and can't get to the keypad
You can try downloading go contacts from the market. It will install go dialer, and if you use that in landscape mode you don't lose the dialpad and your phone doesn't "**** block" you
That's so weird u started this thread, and it's actually in the Epic section.
This has been a side-nuisance i've been working on for a little while. I tried setting up a profile in Tasker that would 'disable auto rotate' for certain apps, and the dialer is the only one where it doesn't work (still auto rotates). (contacts, however, works fine and doesn't rotate)
Manually, even if I turn OFF auto rotation, the dialer still rotates, which makes me think it's a setting in the dialertabactivity.apk ?
I'll decompile that apk later today to see if I can find anything, but if anyone has any knowledge about this, I'm all ears (eyes).
Hi all,
I've got a really annoying feature on my screen lock where my keypad will auto-show and if I enter my PIN I'll be launched direct into the app at the time. I hate this feature and want to disable it, but I'm not sure which setting controls this. Did I say I absolutely hate this feature and it drives me nuts hence why I'm posting here.
Its not 100% clear what you mean.
Your lock screen activates and when you unlock it via pin you get put back into the app that was running before screen lock activated, when you'd prefer it to go back to the home screen?.
That is normal behaviour. There is no way to change it without causing an even bigger nuisance, which would be to kill all apps upon leaving them, which will make your phone run slow.
I could recommend an app by htc called "boost+" which can kill apps automatically if you apply the background optimizers to "always off" which will attempt to kill apps when you leave them. This is less intrusive than using developer settings to kill all apps. It may work, it may not.
Hi, thanks for replying.
Yeah sorry it is a little difficult to articulate this behavior.
So when I want to go back into my phone from the screen off / sleep state, I hit the power button to turn the screen on and wake the device up. When I do this the screen lock keypad opens and if I enter my pin I'll be taken into an application. Mind you this doesn't happen all the time. It generally happens when I've received a notification e.g. hangouts message, an sms, missed call notification, email and so on. I'm sure this behavior wasn't happening before. I can't remember if I changed a setting, or there's been an update to the lock screen from HTC. Either way I want to turn this feature off, I don't want the phone controlling me, I want to control the phone.

super annoying when I wanna go from keyboard to folded back mode... I don't see an option in the settings to configure this.
Damn I was going to write the same exact thing, I'm looking for a way to disable this as well. If the tab isnt locked (like when connected through samsung flow) then it's not that bad but if it could be prevented altogether I'd love that....
