As the title says the current app is closed (well minimised) when I power off my device, this is really annoying, is there a registry edit to fix this? It happened in black 2.0 and now in black 3.0.
Thanks
Rob

The app is closing on suspend not complete shutdown

So, I am not sure if I understand. You want the current app to continue running while the device is off ???

sorry my explanation was a bit dodgy, I want the current app to be there when I turn the device back on (I'm talking about just tapping the power button not completely shutting the device down) it used to work like this in wm5 and after initially installing black 3.0 but now its closing the app I was using.
thanks

I've found out the cause of this problem:-
When I enable a password either pin or alphanumeric, the current app is always closed when the screen is turned off, regardless of weather the device is due to lock or not. Anyone else come across this?

I am using Black 2.5 and I have noticed this. It isn't a problem since the application is only minimized but it is annoying if I wanted to go right back to it...like WMP or TomTom.
same experience here. no real issue for me though
Its just annoying when am using a spreadsheet and it minimises, I've disabled lock for now, I doubt anyone would return the device if they found it (yeah am cynical)
R
Thanks so much for the idea of turning off the screen lock. I was getting rather annoyed with this as well. Saved me some headache! I guess I can do without the screen lock for now. I love xda-developers.com!
Argh!!!!
I'm desperate guys!
Ok - I have tried various flavours of WM6 and various radio roms as well but here is my problem:
I use a keyboard/screen lock (the one that comes with the OS) so that if it gets nicked i've got some idiot time to phone t-mobile and cancel the sim. (yes, I also use a sim lock)
However, on rare occasions I get this same problem:
I set the keyboard lock code, in this example 1234. I then lock the keyboard and try it and its fine. I reboot the phone and the code no longer works and the ONLY way to get into the phone is by hard-reset and rebuild the phone again! I've tried everything i can think of including:
Using the keyboard
Using the onscreen keyboard
lots of soft resets
diferent builds of WM6
I know im typing in the correct pass number yet it refuses to use it. Now, remember this happens one out of every three reboots.... the ONLY way I have found round this is as i've said, hold those magic buttons down and poke the stick in the magic hole.
Any ideas whats causing it to lose the numbers I give it?
Any ideas what it wants me to type when it does lose them?
How can I stop it??????
Thanks for your help!
gets better!
Now, after a couple of soft reboots it wont even "click" the unlock option. I can type any numbers I like but, as soon as I click "unlock" at the bottom, it highlights - so it knows its being hit - and does nothing.
I'm so very confused.

When making a phone call if I move the phone away and when the sensor cuts the phone light back on, it reverts back to the Today Screen. I have to press the call button to get back to the call screen.
Not sure why this is happening.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Anyone has a solutions to this?
well there is a setting called timeout today, but that probably isn't it.
All I can think of is, try do a hard reset after you backup everything.
never happened on mine guys!
same issue here
and I don't remember if it behaved this way out-of-the-box when I tested it before purchase, so it must have been something we've changed
Hmm, I remember it will go back to the phone instead of today screen. Well, I have open a support case with HTC...hope they will reply soon.
Now this is weird.
My TP2 (WWE/Asia) came configured with region set to English (Australia) out of the box. It switched to a different region early on when I installed CE-Star to add additional language inputs. Today, I switched back the region back to English (Australia) and rebooted and the problem disappeared!
There must be something in the background that detect when the screen is back on that switches the TF3D to switch back to the home screen.

Confirmed!!! It fixed mine problem too. I switch to different region, reset and the switch back to my region. Do a test call, guess what?? it work now ...no more going back to the Today Screen.
It must be bug on the software or must be some other tweaks or third party tools that we might have install causing it :> Mystery!!!
Good Excellent finding.

Here is what I get from HTC support regarding this issue...
"Based on information available to the HTC Technical Support Center, your device is functioning normally. Reversion of the display to the Today screen provides you with quicker access to the notepad or other tools that you may need during the call. Pressing the call button returns you to the call screen. There is no provision or setting to return the device directly to the call screen."
What do you think?
Ok, I have do another test again.. when i install any cabs and then try to do a test call again.. now it break again, it go back to the today screen. and then I do the region change again and restart and back again.
Do another test call again.. now it does not go back to Today screen.
I guess it must be something to do when we install a cab that causing it.
Not sure about other users :>
The same problem appear with me too, I'm in Egypt and have the middle east version
any help please
You can disable it turn off the screen during a call in advanced config
just go to light sensor - light sensor polling, and disable that
I thinks this is what your talking about anyway
I found the solution.
Just install S2U2!!
Very nice app and keeps the today screen from over riding the caller screen.
The phone is supoosed to keep the caller screen active during a call.

I found one solution and posted it.

never seen this problem..
Quite frequently, my glide's physical keyboard stops working. A reboot fixes it but is kind of annoying to do this once a day
This is a new phone (less than a week old) and I am trying to find out if this is a known issue and if there is a fix for it. If my phone is defective, I might be able to still get a replacement from newegg.
I notice that there was another thread in XDA on the same topic but it quickly moved on to discuss some other issue with no clear advice.
Thanks and appreciate your help,

Stops working all together or opens up different applications when you press a key? I had the latter. If it is the apps opening up double check you do not have any shift type button stuck as that would make it act funny and appear to not be working properly.
Tap on "ALT", "SHIFT", "SEARCH" see if that fixes it.

Thanks for the response. I went back to my old iPhone 3 (Yuck). Let me double check on that when I get home this evening.

If it is launching Different apps then it is the Quick launch that is the cause. You can see what Shortcut is associated with which app go here:Settings -> Applications -> Quick Launch
Most Launch with Search + any key. Perhaps your search button is stuck.

Mine has that problem as well usually requires a reboot as well but can't ever get it to just do it on command. U on a custom rom? Or stock?
If the random apps are opening, open the landscape keyboard and press the search button. If you accidentally press it and then you press a corresponding letter to open a certain app, it'll so that. And when you hit back, the phone thinks that you pressed the wrong letter key and has that quick open on. Just press search again. That's all lol

I also have the problem of physical keyboard that stops working. No random apps, it just stops working. What to do to fix the issue, aside from rebooting?
Thx

I am on stock. It's just annoying when it happens at least once in 2 days.
I am thinking of rooting it and installing a custom rom to see if that takes care of it. Will keep you all posted.
I might turn on the debugging level in the logs as well to see if I can find out what's going on. Given that this happens only every two days or so, not sure if that will help much but let me see.

I am on Rogers stock ROM. At this point, it certainly looks like something to do with the software (will be hard to find several of us having the same hardware problem).

My keyboard stops working too, but this doesn't happen very often. I experience this about once in 3-4 weeks for now.
I have had this problem a few times as well (on stock AT&T).. QWERTY doesn't respond at all, reboot fixes it! Got me worried the first couple of times though
I continue to run in to this once in a while. I have tried pressing all kinds of keys (search, alt etc) with no success. At times, I see some of the keys working but not others.
Anyway, this looks like software / driver issue. Looks like reboot is the only cure so far.
Hello guyz.. My htc 816 touch screen not working properly, have to press several times each button.. This suddenly happened.. I turn on in settings "show touches" and began to see in the left down corner on the back button that the touch is moving there and pressing back very fast.. Now this issue often appear .. But now the soft keys are not pressing from the first time I touch them.. The notification bar is to hard to open either.. And tapping a message is a massacre hehe..
P.s : I'm rooted.. And I try to install cm12 but nothing happened.
Plz friends help.. And thanks
Flash a RUU, or restore a stock backup and see if the problem persists.
I have the same issue. 816x single SIM. Any Rom I flash I get this same issue after a few minutes into the Rom. Only on stock it works normally. I have used most recent released of twrp and cwm. I have also tried garak kernal and stock trying to narrow it down. Any ideas on this?

R u sure is the same issue?? Cuz I'm worry it's a hardware issue..
Sounds the same to me. Have to hit home keys few times to get it to work, trying to text is hectic. During swiping it'll select things instead of swipe. Put on pointer location youll see it on and off while moving around the screen (even though you're doing a circle with your finger). Something around those lines?
Did anyone find a fix on this at all? Seen a few posts on this but no answers yet.
I have the same issue . plz help
same here. on virgin mobile, is there any fix?
i have 2 phone with this issue

I also have this problem. Just started two days ago. The most problematic is the going back button and the home button. Text is a nightmare as swipe works intermittently and it's all so slow. I've had to turn it off and on to get out of the camera or off another page due to the back button not working. It has also started bringing up random pages that I haven't touched, as someone else said somewhere.
I've taken the sim card out but that doesn't seem to be the problem.
So, if I restore to factory settings as has been suggested, what happens to my apps? I'm only concerned about my one paid app as it was $28! Can I just download via pc as I did initially?
What if this doesn't work? This is a new phone from January ... I love it :crying:

take it to hTC if it's under warranty.
paid apps will remain in your Google account if you have purchased them in google playstore.

Your device software is not up to date speaking bootloader wise. This happens and causes your device touch functions to act up. This was an early issue when device was just released.
