Wow this is a weird problem.. any help? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

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

Help: HTC HD Keeps vibrating

Hi All
I also posted this message in the blackstone.
This night my HD started to vibrate at midnight and I cannot stop this. I did first al soft reset, removed the last programs which I had installed yesterday, but this does not solve the problem.
I did then a full reset, but no luck. It still keeps vibrating. When I remove the battery and put it back, does not help. Keeps again vibrating.
Just for the information:
I installed yesterday the Singh's Tings HTC TF3D 15 Tabs EN, ammarTF3D tabs v2 [final] and Diamond Saber Installer and after that the NoTopCurtain.
And so, I do not get it stop vibrating...
Anyone has had the same problem?

Are you saying it vibrates even on Power off ?
All only when power on ?
Try removing all of your PIM data.
What happens if you put it in System and Ringtone Silent mode ?
Yes
Even, when I turn of the device, it keeps vibrating!! When I remove the battery and put it back, It starts again!!
If I put it on silent mode, nothing happens!
I removed the scandisk card, did again hard reset, nothing seems to work!

You say you did a full reset (I guess you meant a Hard Reset), you turned it off, and it doesn't stop. Sounds like a hardware problem to me...
Can't you take it for repair?
It sounds like a loose contact in your HD. If it triggers your device to vibrate then something INSIDE the device (hardware) is broken.
Yes, I had the same problem.
I bought a new HD, it suddenly keeps vibrating just after 5 days.
It's no use to do anything, excpet remove the battery.
Finally, the seller changed a new one to me.
I think it's a hardware problem.
I have my HD set to vibrate as well as make a sound when i receive a new text message. Lately I've noticed that sometimes when i get a message it will vibrate like normal but then continue even after the sound has stopped and keep vibrating. It will stop if i go into the notification settings menu. I don't even change anything and it stops. Weird!!!! Not sure about your situation and cant say that i've experienced that.
Just to inform:
I called the HTC helpdesk and they picked the device up for repair. It can take a few days.

Same here. In the past months, I set my email notification to vibrate. But sometimes when a new message comes, it vibrates forever until I press a button or respond to the notification.

I have the same problem, it´s very annoying when this happens at night.
Sometimes I have another problem with my email notification, my HD mini recieves a new email and it vibrates and plays the ringtone, up until that time everything is ok, but after 1-5 minutes the HD mini vibrates and rings again even I got no new message.
I hope anyone knows how to fix it.

Screen going White on Kavana 6.1 Work Around (edited)

I wanna make another post here cause in the last post this issue wasnt resolved and i wanna fresh thread here, please only post if you have the solution, thanks hope theres someOne who can get this issue resolved.
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.
Regards
If this isnt helping try just disabling Timeout and set everything else ur way u want.

Known Issues of The touch pro2 ( Rhodium )

First, Sorry for my broken english
I want all Issues of the touch pro 2 ( rhodium ) posted in this thread.
Here are as far as i know
- Touch flo 3D isnt starting sometimes
- Sometimes, volume buttons dont work ( you will be returned to home screen when you push on it )
Please add more if known, so other people with same problem, can see if its known or not.
these past few days. my phone is acting weird. The screen keep rotating as if i open the keyboard (I enable the sound when opening the keyboard. that's how i notice it)
crashes if closing apps before they have fully loaded
intermittantly rotates the screen and gets stuck on what ever its rotated to
random crashing if you try and use it with some sort of speed it just cant cope and crashes. i now am wishing i never bothered with htc anymore but i know its not them its microsoft.
But pls also mention the software you all installed.
Especially this screen rotating is fascinating.
As bug I may ad the notitifaction queue which gets corrupted with duplicates.
maybe the push internet is doing that. (Separate post)
Can't dial from Bluetooth device (car handsfree) when device is locked
Had a strange one this morning. The phone received an sms, and it made it's bleep and vibration to let me know. But then it wouldn't stop vibrating. It went on for about 30 seconds. So I powered down with long push of power button, and selecting yes. It still vibrated after shutdown. So I went to take back off to try a soft reset, and then it stopped. Powered up, and no weird things like that. So put it down to a glitch...
My main issue is that reading an SMS doesn't always mark it as read. I will have to get the keyboard out and scroll through the messages with the arrow keys to "read" the messages I have in a thread.

Phone wakes up for reminders/appts

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

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.

Long press not working anymore on some parts of the screen

Hi,
The title speaks for itself.
Big issue here, long-press on the screen of my D855 doesn't work anymore.
Touchscreen is fine but long-presses just acts like a normal press.
I can't tell when exactly this bug started but it's really annoying since some actions can't be done without it (can't move icons, play specific games, etc...)
The lower end of the screen works fine tho (navigation buttons and apps dock) but everything above don't.
Some rare times it works with no particular reason.
Can someone help me with this ?
Is it hardware or software related ? (updating firmware to V21a didn't solved my issue).
Bu chance u aint got a glass protector on do you
No glass protector.
Stock Rom.
This is a really weird bug because it works 1 time after a "pinch to zoom" for exemple and then again it stops working
Off top of my head try if ure rooted xposed like g3tweakbox or gravity box one of 2 change long press behavior or or goto acseability and change touch feed back time to short
I have the same problem, whenever I scroll down/up, it goes directly at the bottom/top. Sometimes, it goes back to normal, I don't even know why but frequently it goes back to the problem. I had already gone to Accessibility, ..., set it to slow and it seems not to work. What to do? :/
