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

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!
Hi...
On the whole, I'm really satisfied with my Touch HD, however I have a really annoying problem - I want the Wireless Network Detected notification to be disabled, whenever I disable it from the Sounds & Notifications under Settings, it keeps changing back after a soft reset.
I have found this thread here which talks about the exact same problem for the diamond.
A) I tried that and it didn't work for me.
B) It seems silly to run another program in the startup sequence to undo something that's being done in the startup sequence itself.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks!

I have a Galaxy Note 4 on AT&T that I purchased about a week ago. Everything worked great up until today. I have been successfully using the fingerprint lock to keep my phone locked while I'm at work. Tonight, I unlocked it and went to disable the fingerprint lock, but now the "swipe" and "none" options are greyed out and disabled with "Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage" and won't allow me to disable it. I have not been tinkering with anything and have no idea how any of that stuff could have been enabled since the phone was just sitting in my desk at work.
So, how do I get that turned off so that I can disable my lock screen when I am at home or away from work?
Thanks!
it seems like you may have enabled other security features like.. encryption which does not allow you to turn off the lock screen.. try disabling these extra protection s

And how would I do that? I'm not seeing anything enabled on my phone. I may be missing something. And again, nothing had been changed from the previous week's use. I enabled the fingerprint lock on it, put the phone in my desk, and left it there. Once I got it back out, I was no longer able to disable the lock. I can unlock the phone, I just can't turn the lock off. Hopefully I'm just missing a setting somewhere and it will be easy to fix.
SOLVED
Well, I somehow managed to figure out the solution. It apparently had something to do with the credential storage. I found the settings for that and had my phone clear the credential storage. After that, I powered my phone off and back on and it started working normally.
Now, the next question. How did some app set credentials to where my screen unlock couldn't be turned off?
I am facing problem. The screen wakes up. Pin number gets entered automatically.
once unlocked it doesn't take screen input correctly.
After restart I am facing the same problem.
I am not able to use the phone. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Wipe everything and reinstall from scratch, looks like someone cracked your system.

it this the only option ?
can I search for what is wrong ?
Have you actually watched it turn off and unlock? I just posted in another thread how this phone is very sensitive to butt-dialing in my pockets. This shouldn't enter your pin, but there is built in software to bypass the lock on the device with trusted bluetooth and nfc tags. I reduced the problem significantly by 1) putting the phone in my pocket screen out 2) disabling the trusted unlock for blutooth devices, 3) added a pin. Now I occasionally pull out the phone to find it on the emergency dialing screen and very rarely anymore in airplane mode
Hey folks,
I have this strange issue that I don't know how to solve, or how to even report to Xiaomi.
I'm using App Lock to lock few applications because of my daughter. I don't want her to mess around things she is not allowed to touch when I give her the phone.
Of course, first thing I locked is Phone and Contacts app, to prevent unplanned calls. I'm using Always On display, and whenever someone calls me, screen doesn't wake up or change at all! Phone just vibrates and rings (if it's not in the silent mode), but there is no absolutely any indication on the screen that there is an incoming call. Same thing happens even when Always On is disabled.
At first I thought this is bug inside EMUI, and that it will get fixed. 1 year passed since I have the phone, and it still isn't fixed. I tried googling and enabling all permissions on phone app to allow drawing above other apps and all those permissions, but it didn't help.
Today I tried to remove Phone app from the App Lock, and it started working. All this time issue was caused by the App Lock.
I didn't find any settings for the App Lock that will somehow loosen up the permissions, so I'm clueless at this point.
Does anyone have any idea how can I solve this, while still having Phone app locked up?
Thanks!
I don't have a fix for that issue, but instead of using Phone @ App Lock, you could Pin an App (Not sure if MIUI has this tho) and the person would have to unlock the screen to enter other apps,
or try Google's Parental Control feature perhaps...
EMUI doesn't support pinning, at least I didn't find it.
I solved it by installing another app lock application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hideitpro.app.protect) which I use to lock only Phone app. It properly locks the access, but shows the incoming calls. Thanks for help!
