Hi folks,
a quick question: since I am using WM6 my tytn always displays the today screen after comming from the suspend mode or blanc screen. This was definitly not the behaviour it did with WM5. An example:
When I'm listening to music with the built in Windows Media Player I like to turn off the screen (using the built in blanc screen function) to save battery. When I switch on the device again to change music or something the device always displays the today sceeen instead of the media player application and I have to switch back to the media player window manually. That drives me crazy as it is not the way it behaved using WM5.
Is there any possibility to change this behaviour in the way, that WM6 shows the last used application instead of the today screen when resuming from suspend mode or blanc screen?
Thank you!
Check you Today settings.
Go to Start>Settings>Today>Items tab and investigate the "Today Timeout" setting.

I checked this already. The described problem is not related to the Today timeout setting. It appears every time, after a few seconds blanc screen anyway. Try it, you'll see.
i have also experianced this, is really annoying, anyone have any ideas how to resolve it...?

Hi!
The best prgm I used for this reason is PPcsoft psShutXP u can have it on tray and u gona have 3 alt. Light Off Shut Down and Soft Reset strike on Light Off it works fine
I like this "feature". Problem I have is if I leave outlook open, I don't get a LED notification of new mail. At some point I had a ROM installed that always went back to the today screen and seem to resolve my issue. Is this something that can be changed in the registry?
Cal
nobody knows anything about that? Can't believe that there are not more people out there, who suffer from this issue

Hi!
I think if u try the program I mentioned at #5 u gona like it. Here is the link
http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/
same problem here...
BatteryStatus
I think this might be related to BateryStatus Today Plugin.
There is a check box under "Tools" - "Show Today Screen on WakeUp". If you uncheck this it stops behaving in this way.

Thanks for sharing the link but I think, this will not solve the problem for me: as far as I can see you have to go to the today screen anyway to reach the buttons this tool provides. So I haven't got anything....
Great stuff! Batterystatus really solved the problem...just set the tool to not show today screen and it works. Thanks for the hint!
(though I really don't understand that MS doesn't support this feature?!)
Hi, its not that MS doesn't support it, its that its enabled on some roms, and others not, mine always returns to whatever app it was on, after suspend, If you wanted to help figure out the cause, I suggest you install sktracker, and do a before and after the battery status install, and see what key that option in battery status is changing, I don't much care for battery status myself.
Start > Settings > Today > Items Tab
UNCHECK the Today Timeout
Today Timeout means that if the device is left unchecked for say, the Default "4 Hours" than after 4 hours, no matter what program window was running, it defaults back to the today screen when the device is reawakened
pssibly a bug in your OS or some program you are running makes it so every time you turn it back on
but uncheck that and maybe youll have some luck??
i had a similar problem with my iPaq hx4700 where if i was at the today screen, it would keep flickering, refreshing it every 1 second
i disabled the today timeout, and viola, its worked fine since
I have this issue too.

Unrelated. I have BS installed and that option is NOT checked, yet it still does it.
This is very annoying, I like mine to sleep after 2 mins (to save power and lock the keyboard). then back to the today screen and have to switch to what I was doing..
Related to the Lock setting?
I have the same problem, and I think it is related to the lock settings. When I enable a simple PIN, my phone always returns to the Today screen after leaving suspend, regardless of the settings in the Today aplet.
If I disable the simple pin in the Lock settings applet, the pone returns to the last used application (unless the today timeout has been exceeded, as one would expect).
Hopefully that will help someone discover a fix. This problem did not occur in WM 5.

Hey, you are absolutely right. The problem won't be fixed by Batterystatus. I just mad a hardreset and didn't set a password, so I thought batterystatus fixed it.
It is a bug with the built in password function. So, is there anybody out there, who is able to fix that?
As said before, the Today showing after power-on the device is "another" problem caused by the WM6 Password Lock System. It's necessary to disable the password that locks the device to fix it.
And it's not the only problem. Be warned, don't try this at home!!!; if you got a password active and then you change the Owner Name without changing the password, you will find after the next reboot that your machine is unreachable because the password isn't recognized at all.
Incredible but true!

Has anyone else experienced this problem with their P3300?
Unpredictably, the screen on my P3300 will fail to come back on after I have shut the device off with the power button. I know the device is on because the hardware buttons light up when pressed, but the screen appears almost completely dark and won't come back on when tapped. The only way to get the screen back to normal function is to get to the backlight settings and adjust them. This seems to return the device to normal function...until it randomly happens again. I'm seeing this about two or three times a day.
At first, I thought I needed to soft reset - and this worked - I then just went to the backlight settings to modify them and got back normal function for a while. The strange thing was that after the screen issue and the soft reset, my backlight settings for battery power were on "brightest" - and they wern't there before the issue popped up.
Now I have a WA2 shortcut on my top bar that goes to backlight settings. I know approximately where it is on the screen, so when the issue pops up and the screen is pitch dark, I can tap in that general area and get to backlight settings. The screen is still dark, but I can just make out the backlight slider enough to adjust it from there and avoid the soft reset.
So, basically, it seems as though my backlight settings are randomly resetting themselves to the lowest setting every once in a while after power off. Anybody else with an Artemis seeing this? Seems a little similar to the first of the three questions in this thread, but not exactly the same:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281763
Any help or empathy would be appreciated!
I've had that, too. I assume the program for the allocation of the soft keys has a bug. You had to HARD RESET, and dont change the soft keys any more.
I've read some more about this issue and it seems it is a WM5 bug that is seen across devices. I guess I can hope they will address it at some point in a future ROM release. Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Sleep Mode
What you are describing sounds like sleep mode
" Quickly pressing the POWER button turns off the display temporarily and switches your device to sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends your device to a low power state while the display is off in order to save battery power "

(Taken from MDAC3 Manual)
Pressing the power button again should bring it out of Sleep Mode. If it is getting stuck then it is possibly a bug affecting the sleep mode.
Hi!
Any news on this issue? My phone is acting just like described in this thread (and no, this is not standby/sleep mode)

This only hapen to me after a soft reset. And the only way i found to "fix" the problem was after every soft reset going to Settings>Backlight move the brightness bar up and down. And after that it never blocks the light again until the next soft reset. Sometimes when connected to usb it blocks too but if you always go to the backlight, befor e the light goes off, and move the bar it wont block anymore...Its not a real solution but the only way i found...

Yeah, that is all I am doing too. Hopefully HTC is noticing this problem too and a future ROM release will alleviate the problem. Perhaps a Crossbow upgrade someday????
I have the same problem. I found out that it happens when PhoneAlarm switches my profile from work to home.
Solution!
Check this thread out:
http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=3324.0
As stated above, looks like PhoneAlarm is the culprit. I use it and I would bet that everyone posting in this thread does too. In fact, Bruce from PocketMax has even listed the Artemis Backlight corruption issue as a fixed item in his latest release, v1.57 available here:
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html
Once you download and install, make sure to go the the backlight % setting in each of your profiles and select "Leave Unchanged". This alleviates the problem. My Artemis no longer goes blank without backlight slider manipulation after a soft reset!!! One less thing to worry about!
I had the same problem ... I try your solution and make a feed back
I too have had this problem and have PA installed - I'll also apply the solution and report findings . . thanks for sharing.
Hi!
I installed the PA 1.57 upgrade, but it did not help... But it seems like the backlight settings on the Artemis device is not standard, so I uninstalled Spb GPSR monitor (who has a backlight setting option), and then the problem disappeared.
PK
Looks like any program you have installed with a backlight setting option needs to be adjusted not to change the backlight settings in order for things to work properly for the time being. I'm sure that software developers will adjust to this new device soon just as PA has. Thanks for the feedback!
hi,
i have PA 1.58 (build 100), and the reminders for missed calls not work properly. the orange led is blinking, but the vibration and the sound are
not played (i have set the alarm reminder to 1 x 5 min x endless)...
please, test and indicate to me if this function works on your artemis...
the reminders for sms works fine.

In other forums they have this 'problem' too, and all of these people had SPB Pocket Plus installed. My guess is that it is a backlight setting in that program. You can temporarily get the backlight back on by connecting the phone to the pc through ActiveSync, and change the settings accordingly.
Hard- or softresets shouldn't be necessary to solve this.
@phonealarm users,
you can fix the unserious backlight bug if you are using at least v.1.57 or higher and set all backlight settings (battery and pluged) in used profiles to the option < LEAVE UNCHANGED >
@all
happy new year!
Ok! so i am not alone! a couple of times i did face this situation. the screen doesnt come up, but the device is on, and i am able to see a slight silhoute of the icons, very very light. and i have to do a softreset to get it back on.

Yep, that´s it! In every app offering different profiles (like PocketZenPhone, PA, etc.) Settings for Backlight (including Minutes to switch off) must be exactly the same in each profile! Maybe <Leave unchanged> will work, too!

Hello,
I have a problem with my Hermes. Always, after I turn on my PDA, it go direct to "Today" screen. That means that if I have one program open, I turn off PDA, and then turn on again, instead of have this program open, I get "Today", and I need to use a "task manager" or similar for change to the original program .
Anybody can help me?
Thanks!

UPDATE: From samw52000:
This is a retarded WM6 feature that is enabled as soon as you have a password set for the device.
Remove the password, apps will stay open when the device is powered back on.
Is there any way to fix it without removing the password? I need the password!
Sesaru,
Can you explain a bit more what you mean? When you switch on the Hermes it does go to the today screen after the boot screens as its default behaviour. Not sure what you believe the problem is.
WB
You need the software X-Button
It adds a little icon on top-left corner of your screen.
When you click on it, it shows all the programs that are running, you can click on whichever one you want to bring it back up to your front screen.
It is similar to ALT-TAB on a PC.
I had nothing but poor performance out of X-button.
handy switcher is a better app and much cleaner way of doing it.

Hello;
I'll try again (I made the post at 3AM).
The problem is: I'm using the PDA in anyway (File Explorer, Office, etc); imagine that I'm using Pocket Word. Then, I wait sometime without touching any button or I push on/off button --> the PDA turn off (normal )
After that, I press on/off button (and then, the PDA turn on). The normal behaviour (I think) is to have open in my screen the last application I was using (Pocket Word), so then I can continue working directly... but the PDA always change to "Today" screen. So I have to use X-Button (or similar) to switch to the app I was using. And that is quite annoying ...
I hope I could explain better myself.
Thanks!
Go to SETTINGS, then TODAY. Click on the ITEMS tab at the bottom.
Is "Today timeout:" checked? What does it have in the drop down box?
This is a retarded WM6 feature that is enabled as soon as you have a password set for the device.
Remove the password, apps will stay open when the device is powered back on.
If not then you're SOL (just like me).
i don´t know why, but i always have my desktop when i turn on my pc
that´s sounds really bad or not?

Do you use AutoKeylock ?
I had this problem when I started using 6.1 ROMs first.
In my case I had about 6 applications I always installed right off the bat after a new ROM flash. One of those was Maniac's AutoKeylock.
I timed the duration between answering a call and having the call go white one day, and it seemed to me to match precisely with the screen timeout settings I had in AutoKeylock.
I removed the application, and have never seen the problem happen again.
However, I do miss having AutoKeylock.
I realize that this could be totally coincidental, and thus I asked before whether others who had the problem also used AutoKeylock but never got a reply.
Perhaps you can reply as to whether you use it or not. And, if you do, whether removing the application resolves the issue for you.
If there is a correlation then we can alert Maniac to the issue, and he may be able to find a solution.

You know if the reason you miss autokeylock is for the ability to set a time for the screen to turn off and the keypad to lock, smarttoolkit does that, with no problems.

How often it happen?
With my phone running Kavanas I will get a white screen once after a reboot and then I press and button and it goes back to normal and wont do it again. I have gotten used to it.
For some reason I think it has to do with Tornado PowerControl, do you have that installed? I just cant figure it out exactly. Maybe we can find a solution.
We'll i believe this White screen has something to do with the backlight settings in power managment, i find if you leave screen on full and turn off the phone from turning off the screen, the white screen wont happen, this isnt so bad, cause if u want the screen to go off just hold down the disconnect phone button, not too bad cause when your not wanting to use the phone anymore the screen still goes off, also you can turn the backlight off in accessories which is the same as setting the screen to go off automatically in 5 seconds, white screen fixed moreless.
Same issue with Ricky's v24 and now with Rose 1.7
I also am experiencing this issue, but do not have installed neither Maniac's AutoKeylock nor Tornado PowerControl.
It happens sometimes during a call, sometimes not.
It happens when leaving the phone unlocked and timesout idle time. If hit the Home or back buttons, it shows the home screen again and next timeout does work fine.
I have beeing looking up and down for fixes but was unable to find one. Some say turning off "Run Lowlight" JOGGR setting, some say flash after a hard reset...
It seems that running lowlight (joggrinfo.exe -m -t) helps a bit. If the phone is fully bright and rests on the table, the screen goes white after timeout.
However, if run lowlight and let it alone, it turns off the screen normally.
Also when it goes white and hit back or home button, the screen goes mid-bright, and then turns off normally.
However, when unlocking, it goes full bright, and then the issue comes back.
In summary ...
Full Bright -> Times out to whitescreen.
Mid Bright -> Times out to lights off.
Unlock -> Goes full bright -> Times out to whitescreen.
White screen -> Hit Back/Home button goes mid-bright -> Times out to lights off.
It would be great if lowlight could be run when unlocking the device.
Does it work same way for you guys??
Regards.
This will stop White Screen from happening.
ok this is a way to avoid the white screen issue, (Click on Light Config) then open CeleTask and in CeleTask - Tools use Close Screen this will turn off your screen and allow the backlight from turning on when screen turns back on, also remember u need to set your power settings to (Backlight time out on battery 5 Seconds and Backlight on AC can be 1 minute which u never use) and Display time out Never..)
You can also use CeleTask to disable the screen when you make a call, just open CeleTesk when you hit call.
Topic should be changed as not a fix but work around "sortof":
Process of illimination:
My recomendation would be try a hard-reset, don't install any programs see if that fixes it now when installing programs don't bung them all on install 1 @ a time soft-reset give it while see if problem resumes, do this for all software then you may find the culprit?
This is not an issue faced by all so something has to be the culprit.
Bad Flash?
Software Install?
JOGGR?
Power Settings?
They are just examples.
I had this happen once but on WM6 and a hard-reset was what was needed and didn't pop up again........

These instructions have fixed my device... I got an Elf and I made it my primary phone, and now I´m experiencing new ROM´s in my S621. This problem happens in my device (the S621, of course), and I´m now using NRG remade by Ricky and Stylez, and this problem with the screen seems to be solved with this tip.
This problem does not happen when I use "Kavana remade by Ricky and Stylez" only with NRG and it´s Remake.

If this isnt helping try just disabling Timeout and set everything else ur way u want.
hi all! I've been wondering ever since receiving my TP2, how can I set it so that the device resumes from standby/lock mode to the last screen that was active? Right now, it seems to restores only to the today tab.
For e.g. if I am using Notes and switch the device to standby using the on/off button, turning it back on takes me to today tab...
this question has just been asked in another thread called "Restore last tab after standby".
I have checked this issue for you and it does not account for me. When I switch of my TP when in, FI, Coreplayer and switch it on again, it still displays Coreplayer, or whatever app that was open before going into standby.
hhmmm thanks. it seems to be related to the lock function...

Hey,
Does anyone else have problems with the delayed lock screen feature?
Settings -> Security -> Automatically Lock
(You need to have a pattern or pin unlock for the option to show up)
In there are delay settings, so the lock only activates after a set period of time. No matter what delay I pick, the screen lock activates instantly as soon as the screen turns off.
I was wondering if this happened for anyone else, before I post an issue with Google.
The weird thing is I'm sure it worked at one point, but I've tried a factory reset and it still doesn't work with a fresh handset.
Cheers
Do you use a (corporate) exchange account on your phone? I think I read somewhere that Exchange security settings can override the delay and force the phone to lock instantaneous.

I do yeah, but I tried with a clean factory reset and it still happens
I don't know exactly how Exchange accounts work - If my device ID was registered with the Exchange server, would it still enforce the security settings even though the email account is not on the phone any more? (i.e. a factory reset).

I have set a 5 minute delay on the lock and it has been working perfectly.
I cannot think of a reason why you are not able to apart from your Exchange set up.
I don't use Exchange and also have this issue... no matter what I set the delay at, it always locks.
I removed the Exchange account from my phone, and got the server admin to delete my device ID from the system - but it still locks instantly when the screen goes off, so it doesn't look like that's the problem.
How odd...
Anyone have any more info on this? It's pretty irritating and don't want to do a factory rest if I can avoid it!

Did you remove the device administrator you create (at least in 2.x) when you accept the Exchange security policies? Might still be there I guess.
I think the timer only kicks in when the screen turns off by itself not when you hit the lock button. Try letting the screen goto sleep and see if the delay works.

Seems slightly odd behaviour - I'm used to the CM7 way where it would delay the lock whether you turned the screen off manually or not.

Oh... yeah, that worked! As Shodney said, seems strange as I come from a ROM (Android Revolution HD) that doesn't care if the screen times out or if you press power - it starts the timer from then.
To be honest I prefer the "old" behaviour - I like having a long "awake" time on my screen so it doesn't go off while I'm reading a web page or whatever and to turn it off manually to save battery. But I don't like it locking straight away! Guess I just have to live with it for now. Thanks for the answer anyway.
I find it weird too. The sgs2 was the same way. There is a great app called delaylock (https://market.android.com/details?id=de.j4velin.delayedlock2&hl=en) on the market that will make the lock work the as cm7 not sure it works on ics yet, I plan on trying it when my phone gets here Friday.
Glad I could clear all the confusion on this setting.
