One thing I really liked about my T2 out of the box was the fact that receiving a text message did NOT wake up the phone.
All of the sudden, it is waking up with every text. I checked to make sure that somehow DisableSMSWakeupEvent hadn't been changed to '0', but it is still set to '1'. Did a soft reset, rechecked the registry value (it's still set to '1')but the phone continues to wake up with every text. I also checked in event notifications to make sure I hadn't inadvertently checked the 'Display message on screen' box.
I had installed Advanced Configuration Tool a few days ago, but uninstalled it the next day after only checking out the options and didn't change anything with it. My only other recently installed software is SPB Time, but it's been in place for more than two weeks so I don't think that's doing it. And I'm *still* using the stock AT&T rom.
What gives? I don't want my phone to wake up when I receive a text!
I only fixed this when I used advance config to tell it to wake up on text, softreset, don't wake up on text, soft reset, and then it finally worked how I wanted it.
try deleting the string and then recreating the dword string. and then soft resetting.
i dont understand why you dont like your pro2 to wake up when the SMS comes in, how will you know a message has arrived????
this is a must feature of a phone,each person who are involved in thw world's business will require.
Hope you are not a spooky person,

It will still vibrate, beep etc, just not turn on the screen until you press the button.
Mine is doing the same. I agree with the OP
Why?
Because my phone lives in my pocket, and when I'm seeing patients or have my hand somewhere you probably don't wanna know about, I can't check every text as it comes in. If the screen turns on in my pocket, then I begin pocket dialing or other bad things. And THAT'S why I con't want my phone to light up when I get a text.
Besides, I have the LED set to flash with new message notification, as well as to vibe so I'll know I just got a text.
The good news is that after the problem has suddenly disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared. Guess I must have bowed down properly to the phone gods in my sleep last night...
You could try using S2U2...
That way you won't start 'pocket dialing'.

I have upgraded my Hermes to WM6 and wanted to start locking the keypad.
The built in Device lock is fine, however I want this to automatically lock the device after 5 minutes.
I know there is a more advanced lock that can be activated after a period of time but I don't want to enter a 4 digit pin.
Are there any custom apps out there capable of performing this task?
Thanks
Mark
You could try the "Slide 2 Unlock" app posted >HERE<. That looks like it'll do what you're after.....
HTH,
Mark.
phoneAlarm
Ok, tried this app and like it... but...
I believe I have found a issue with this application when using phoneAlarm on my Hermes WM6..
I currently have phoneAlarm configured to alert me 30 times when I have a text message or missed call. This will continue to alert me until it has done it 30 times or I hav read the text etc..
What I have found since installing Slide2Unlock is that I don't get ANY alerts now.
Is there a registry setting that will get around this problem or is it a restrictions in the application?
Thanks

Voicemail Indicator...
Is there a registry setting that allows you to turn on a voicemail indicator on the screen? That would be a nice addition.
By the way, this is a coooool app! Thanks for the effort and bring this to the masses.

Once you get a voicemail, the indicator comes on. If you don't have any voicemails (and texts or e-mails for that matter), then no icon shows up.

Not sure if this is applicable, but I had a problem with Voice Command not waking up when I pressed my bluetooth with this app. I found that by disabling the autosuspend since I had it set to come on automatically when the phone goes into hibernation (set through the battery options), it would work again.
ie: Autostart=1
BlankScreen=1
IdleStart=0

Tested this out last night by calling myself and leaving a voicemail. The only indicators on the IPhone-esque screen were 'text msg' and 'missed calls' counts. Maybe I don't have something configured properly.

My T2 is not awakening on receipt of a SMS. I hear a sound; the screen stays dark.
I've been poking around here and I don't see a fix. Who gotz?

This should do it.
Install and soft reset.
dwizzy130
Thanks. while I was looking around i found a setting in the Adv Config cab. Will be installing that shortly and if that doesnt work I can come back here for this one.
why does everyone say that their screen doesn't light up when the get an SMS? Is Tmobile the only carrier that kept this feature in, because mine lights up every time.
i have sprint model and i cant get it 2 stop lighting up....
Well, advance config didn't do it.
Neither did manually resetting the registry value.
Guess I will try that cab
Edit: I got the adjusted reg value to stick after a few times. Wake up on SMS now working.
ive got verizons tp2 and it always wakes up on new sms
For those of you that don't want it to wake, here's the reverse of the cab I posted earlier.
dwizzy130
This still isn't working for me. My carrier is Telus if it matters. Even with that 2nd cab installed, it still wakes up when an SMS arrives. Oddly, I think it disabled the sound though.
More than half the time I take my phone out of it's case in my pocket to check texts or call somebody, it's always on and eating battery. Alot of the time I have the phone in vibrate or silent because I can't have it going off most of the day, and whenever I get any kind of notification the screen comes on (text, alarm, call, ect.), and then the screen ends up staying on because it's constantly being bumped and never has the time to shut itself down.
Is there any way I can make the screen stay off at ALL times (except on an incoming call), and ONLY come on when I press the unlock/power button on the top of the phone?
I have a TMobile TP2 and I'm running the Nov. 19th, Photon Energy ROM. Upgrading to the Nov. 27th version when it's done downloading but I don't think that will fix the problem as I've changed ROMs before. Thanks to any help.
you will find that when in the case it should be off, on taking the phone out of the case (i assume the HTC one that came with the phone?)
the magnet in the case triggers the keyboard sensor which turns the screen on.
otherwise, you can change the display time out in power options under settings.
Cheers
Steve
That's interesting, I've heard about the case doing that but never thought about it. Would you recommend any cheap cases, or is there a specific magnet location I should be careful of? And do you know if there is a way to keep the screen off when I get a text message for example?
There is a way to fix this... it is to disable "Wake on Slide." I have done this and no more problems.
Here is a link to what to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2945249&postcount=3
Hope it helps you, as it did me.
Thanks for the reply and I appreciate the help, but I don't really have a problem with the wake on keyboard slide, it seems that if the phone is in my pocket locked, and I get a text message, the screen comes on to notify me that I have a text message. Then, it's usually being bumped around in my pocket and since the touch screen is usable with any object, it will stay on because something will tap it in my pocket. The phone then heats up over time and drains battery. I want to find a way to keep the screen off at all times unless, I either receive a call, or push the power button. Thanks.

Try:
go to HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
change DisableSMSWakeUpEvent to 1 (0 will wake up the device)
On my Rhodium, it does not wake up by default. I hear the notification, but my screen remains dark
Or try this cab file ... soft reset after install
Thanks for the .cab, I'm restarting now to see if it fixes the problem. Kind of random, but I might as well ask here before starting a new thread. I started using Mobile Shell instead of TF3D and so far I love it, but when setting a wallpaper, the wallpapers that I would normally use in TF3D, (480x800), it makes me select or crop out part of the photo to use as a background in Mobile Shell. I can't tell if it actually gets blurry (I would think so, because it's stretching the picture), but does anyone know why it wants me to only use a certain portion of the background instead of just setting the entire picture? Thanks,
More than likely, the version of Mobile Shell you have is either not designed for WVGA or there is a setting somewhere in there that allows you to change it and you haven't found it yet.
Am not a expert on mobile Shell, but according to their website, the latest version (3.5) does support WVGA.
Another option is to, if you have Adobe Photo shop or something similar, scale down the entire picture to the size it reccomends.
Otherwise, if you have a version earlier then 3.5, maybe you could upgrade and see if it makes any difference.
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.
Anyone using TouchLockPro or PocketShield?
What are your impressions, pros/cons?
Thanks
Touch lock pro is really good but i removed it because some major features weren't working, maybe its just the ROM i used. But its great!
I was using s2u2, but kept having issues, probably has more to do that I don't use a stock rom, versus the program, but I switched to pocket shield and have no issues with it. I don't use all the features, just mainly the screen lock.

hmm good to know...I was about to ask about S2U2 too...it looks great...but I was reading the threads on it and it seams like issue after issue that people are talking about...maybe just the users/roms/or devices...idk
I downloaded the trial version of Pocket Shield...which you can use for 10 days before having to buy it.
Noticed some issues...probably things that just I would notice ...
(1) It enables the ability to select Repeat...under settings>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications>Reminders [I thought this was great...since this feature disappeared after WM 2003]
(2) in the same area...under Voicemail, Missed Call, and Text Messages you can now enable "flash light"...although these options are no available for New MMS...or ...New E-mail...or Reminders
(3) When Reminders go off...the light flashes anyways...until you dismiss or snooze... [I thought this was annoying cause I usually associate LEDS with missed e-mail, text, voicemail, not reminders...]
(4) You have some boost alarm options....where you can choose snooze options....this is basically an alarm to tell you have unchecked e-mail, text, voicemail, reminders etc... BUT the SNOOZE options don't actually work...this seams to never stop...just keeps going and going...even after the reminders and all missed calls are answered :x Edit:OK, so apparently...when this alarm goes off on the lock screen...you click on the item on the lock screen, then slide the screen...where the snooze options are revealed! yaay! ...but no dismiss button :X Ok, figured this out. For Boost alarm options you have a time setting for when you want it to work, plus you can check what you want it to work for, mine kept going off because I had it checked to go off as long as there was something on "today & tomorrow's Agenda" haha oops
(5) After a call...the screen locks...even if this feature is turned off on pocketshield...
(6) strange thing...i think is a feature of pocket shield...that we can't control...the phone screen turns off when you hold the phone up to your ear...even if the feature..."protect screen during call" is off....sortof like the iphone proximity sensor...not sure if our phone already did this...but I don't remember it doing this...before....
...if anyone knows that this is a normal feature...and how to turn it off...that would be great...
(7) For some dumb reason...the TouchFlo3D Slide to Unlock Screen is gone again....and it has defaulted back to the old WM Unlock...if I hold End key down....yaay! (sarcasm) ...this happened strangly the other day too...without this program...and I had to hard reset to get it back :x
(8) No clue why...but after a call...the phone decided to vibrate without stopping...until I pulled out the battery....when i turned it back on ...it went back to vibrating...but stopped after it finished booting...no clue why this happened...but it only took place once...wasn't a reoccurring problem
maybe this is all happening because it isn't the full version...idk...I thought it would be full...just minus access to the skins and it would just disable in 10 days...but idk...
This is all on my stock Rom too....which is nuts
Another annoyance...when you hit the power button...it turns of any media player you had running...so you can't turn the screen of and play music at the same time...unless plugged into external power.
I found that I can turn the screen off...and keep the media player running if I push the PocketSheild Lock button...this gives you the option to turn the screen off...or go to the lock screen...which will turn the screen off too and keep the media player running.
Major annoyance...should just be able to hit the power button and have the screen turn off and lock...with the media player still playing...what if I want to save battery by turning my screen off while listening to music...or put the phone in my pocket with headphones...

Yeah, I don't fault S2U2, it's a good program. I hear from a lot of people that use it and like it, but I was having issues. It's funny to show iPhone drones the S2U2 lock screen with the battery showing (the default iPhone screen?), and they say "hey, when did you get an iPhone" swipe it unlocked, and they say you can't have iphone on a windows phone LOL....priceless.

at least people don't mistake your phone with a nokia,
it's driving me crazy
I used TouchLockPro for a long while. Generally, I like it. I locks well and the unlock with light feature is great.
Recently, the unlock with light feature was added to PhoneAlarm. I use and like PhoneAlarm, so I just updated and now have a single program with my alarm profiles and screeen locking plus a slide to unlock. Handy.
