Hey all, I have Kavanas latest wm6.1 upgrade on my phone... For some reason my phone does not vibrate anymore, any way to fix this problem? Or is my phone jacked?
I'd bet it's a burned out vibrating motor. Check the Wiki, I think it has a link to figure out how to disassemble and motor's can be had for reasonable prices on eBay where people are usually selling broken Excalibur's just for parts.
That would suck... My phone is 2 weeks old...
same
same thing happened to me but if i go back to the tmo rom it works fine idk y

ok so if you press and hold the "A" key ( also called the # key) for about 3 seconds and the profile changes to vibrate, the phone doesnt vibrate indicating the profile change?

No, my phone does not vibrate at all, i tried putting it on the vibrate profile, tried setting my text messages as a vibrate alert... nothing, no vibration at all...

what i mean was if you hold down the #(A) key it will put it into the vibrate profile and the phone will actually vibrate at the same time. which is different from when you manually pick the vibrate profile. i was wondering if you had done this yet. im not saying it will fix your problem, more of a confirmation that your vibrate hardware is fubared or not. so take your phone out of the vibrate profile, then press and hold your "#"(A) key until you see the vibrate icon at the top of your iconbar....see if it vibrates.... if it doesn't your, vibrate hardware is toast.
I guess my phone is toasted huh? I tried, it switched to vibrate... but no vibration... gah, whatevs...
my only suggestion for a last ditch effort would be to either/ and hard reset your phone/Reload the official WM6 ROM from your mobile provider.
If re-loading your stock official ROM seems to make it work again, it's up to you if you want to re-try kavana or rick's WM 6.1 ROM. If you do and it stops again, you may just end up being stuck with the Standard RO mon your phone or if the phone's new, you can complain to your mobile provider and have then replace it for you. (just make sure the official ROM is reloaded on it b-4 you send your in)
That happened to me as well. Turned out it was the vibrator motor that was slightly disconnected (probably due to a fall). Took about 5 minutes to get it working again. It's just a matter of opening the back plastic. With the right set of tools, you'll have it done and diagnoses in no time. Even if you need to get a new vibrator motor, it's pretty cheap. Just Google it around.

hi,
does anyone know how i can set it so the screen auto locks after a given amount of time or is there a freeware app that can do this please. because i rather have it that having to remember to press the power button to lock everytime, sometimes i might forget.
cheerz,
snoop
Lock the Screen? Power-Button simply switches the Device of, e.g. the screen. In Power Management you can set a Device timeout in Battery Mode and on AC Operation. This is equal to pushing the Power Button
I think i see the problem, or i'll tell my problem with that issue...
When you push the power-button the screen turns off and is locked, but if you receive a sms or so, the screen returns back on and is not locked...
ok ye i think u get my point.
i dont know about screen lock after receiveing sms or call.
but i c the point of samson, pressing the power botton does lock the screen.

look for deviceock or vj devicelock.
There is a today-application called BatteryStatus. With its help you can lock the device automatically when it is shut down. Does the job for me - of course you allways have to unlock the device after turning it on.

If you had bothered typing 'BatteryStatus' into Google you'd have seen it was the first hit. Establishing it is the right program is simply a case of reading the web page. Why are people so goddam lazy these days?
yes ok i get your point. sorry.
right i have installed. lots of nice options and things. but have little problem now. As we knw the device has the function where as the backlight will turn off after a set amount of time. Mines set to 30sec for battery power and 1min for external power.
After 30secs (using battery) it does its job and turns off the backlight. Normally i would press the power button and device turns back on. HOWEVER! since installing batterystatus the device just wont turn back on. I mean its got enough battery, i can tell this because 1) the light at the top flashes 2) Heres the strange thing , the only way i seem to be able to waking the device from backlight is by pluging in the usb cable.
So i thought i would try and un-install the app see if that would help..but nope that didnt help because it still does the same thing.
After installing the app i did a soft rest. I thought it might help, but it didnt. This is the other thing, once i did this, i see the t-mobile splash screen where shows the ROM and other info. And then i just goes blank for a while....and then i see the T-mobile PIN entry keypad splashing by every few secs. I was only able to by pass this after trying and trying to enter pin number on a black screen.
Do you think i should do a hard-rest? Dont really want to do this. Means i have to re-install my little apps and contacts, email settings etc etc.
Can anyone help me with this problem please??
Hi there, i had quite te same problem, after a soft reset the backlight turns on until the bootup screen dissapears, then the screen seems to be blank, but it shows everything, but without the backlight on. You have to point a light onto the screen and you can hardly see wats on it.
Then go to the backlight settings and turn it up.
Then you have to look at every program, thats adjusting the backlight settings and turn of automatic darken screen or so in the program.
That helped for me.

this app just gets stranger and stranger.

And :S stranger thing was that the problem didnt happen this time, i saw the t-mob splash screen, saw the windows mobile green splash screen and then my keylock and then pin number screens.
hmmmm no idea wots that was all about. but hey its all working K.O so im happy now. just got to fiddle with the settings now
Thanks againt to everyones help. Appercaited

It's been three days since I have a small bug sometimes.
Sometimes when I press the button to turn on my device the phone wake up (the buttons light up) but the screen sty off... The only thing I can do is a softreset and then everything is all right...
Does someone have the same problem and is ther a fix?
Thanks for the answer
Happens to me sometimes too
I guess the ROM is not 100% stable yet... Let's pary 6.5 will be out soon ! (With TF3D 2.5 or even better with the new sense interface !)
same problem here, if he stays off you can hear de volume butons if you press them so it is only the screen or something.
also when i slide out the keyboard, the screen is rotating realy slow and bit by bit. hope for a soon spl and custom (nrg) rom

Have this too, sometimes. I thought it was due to WAD which sometimes uses way too much CPU.
But the screen not comming off is really annoying! And I don't know why this happens.
I removed SPB Pocket Plus and did not experience this problem again - I think it's just coincidence, but still... You could try!
UPDATE
It seems to happens very very more often if I use the camera apps.

Text msg wont wake up phone
Is this normal? when I receive a text msg, the phone doesnt wake up. My TyTN II woke up when a text msg came through
Just now I received one incoming call,i pressed side volume button,the phone was silenced, I tried again,no matter up volume button or down button,the ring will be silenced.
Is this the normal feature of HTC Touch Pro2? or is the bug of the rom I am using? or there is any setting that can change this behavior?
pls kindly test with your phone, help me with this issue.

I don't think it's a bug, and it's a feature of the tp2. I've used that feature all the time, and it works the same in all the roms I've tried. If you don't want the ring silenced, don't press the side volume button....though I have hit it by mistake when pulling my phone out from time to time....but by this time, you already know you have a call, so no big deal.

thanks for reply,I am relieved.
Aye. normal feature. Its even part of the stock rom. Its easier if you want to silence your phone rather than trying to fumble around on the touch screen if you need to silence it quickly.

Got a new thinking when came back to look at this post,this HTC phone....press volume key to mute incoming call (ringer) is good feature for people,but maybe some people dont like it,they want the phone to ring for a while and let people around him know that he got a good ringtone or he got busy. if the ring stops by accidentally pressing the volume key,he will be pissed off.
Joke is joke,but will be nice if there is option to disable this press-volume-key-to-mute-incoming-call thing.
I'm wondering if anyone has found a fix for this. I have a Verizon TP2, and yesterday the screen wouldn't come on. I can put the volume up and down (and hear the volume tones), press the hardkeys on the bottom front and those lights come on, slide the phone open and the keyboard backlight comes on. The screen itself won't light up however. If I soft reset with the internal reset button, or take the battery out then put it back in, the screen works fine until the first time I press the standby on the top left of the phone to darken the screen. Once it's dark, it stays dark until I pull the battery again. I can also receive calls, but the incoming call doesn't light up the screen either. I've already tried reflashing my ROM (which I know is a working ROM as it's the same one I've used for months). Ideas? Help!
Sounds like a rom issue or software issue. Go back to stock rom. If problem continues send for a replacement. Also do you have throttlelock or other locker installed, if so uninstall and then test.
Had a similar issue out of the blue yesterday. Phone would go to sleep and not wake up unless it was reset. It was like the power button was not connected. I had to do a hard reset and load up a saved backup. All is good now. Somtimes files get corrupt.
This has been happening to me over the last couple of weeks. It can be okay for two or three days and then happen twice in a day.
I'm on the 6.5 stock ROM, the only thing I've changed recently is the SD card. It's not so bad that I'm going to Hard reset yet (too many settings and high scores to be lost!) but if it does I'll have to. I'm not inclined to flash another ROM given I might have to send off for a repair sometime soon though.
Well my issue is that it's happening even after reflashing a rom, both my original rom and the new Verizon 6.5 upgrade rom. The phone is clearly on, but the screen backlight isn't coming on. I can even press on the screen and hear the dialpad tones as if I'm about to make a call. Is there some sort of reset that might work aside from taking the battery out for awhile? I've tried that, but so far that hasn't worked.
Hmm - sounds like a hardware issue which is more worrying, have you tried HTC support?.
HTC support as in call HTC directly, or do some sort of HTC forums? I've always received my support from XTC
Still having phone issues. I can receive still, but once the screen goes to sleep, that's all she wrote till I pull the battery again.
Well it turned out to be a hardware issue (something loose in the base). I accidentally discovered that if I pressed hard on the headphone or power jack on the bottom of the phone, that the screen would come on. Called Verizon and they overnighted me another free of charge. This one is working great so far...
I got a similar issue, mine screen turn off when fully slide out the keyboard. I was told it could be the "flex".
Hello everybody...
When I tap the "mute ring" button during incoming call, it simply not works. Animation showing that screen "recognised" the tap, but it is not doing its function. The Ring call is still "on"...
I am googling for a couple of days and can't find any solution....
Anyone?
Any idea is a great help...
Thanks
46 views and nobody has an idea or my case is unique?
OK...I will extend the problem description....
I tried to "bypass" the problem by installing some apps which work on their own.
For example, Phone Ex 2.2 when I tap the "mute ring" button it does the command "Answer" wtf????
There was another app which I can't remember the name and which is originally designed to program all the hardware buttons as per user's taste, but the application didn't have any "mute ring" option.
So...I think I can not resolve the problem by installing another application, so I beleive there is somebody on this forum that can help me in a different way....
To mute the ringer you can push the down volume key, this is what i do and it always works. This is actually a shortcut button for most phones if i'm not mistaken

Well it WAS on previous models of HTC and blackberry, but it is not the case by default on my device.
I have the same problem with my Touch2 and when this happened, my call (hard) key also not functioning. I have to do a soft reset and it came back to work again. I guess u have to soft reset your phone every couple of days so that it cleared out waste memory which effected this function.
After i soft reset mine, it works again but after using for awhile it will have the same problem. Dont know how to permenently fix
