Has anyone else had the problem with the Tilt 2 freezing when locking the phone? It doesn't happen all the time; but every so often, it freezes on me and I have to reset the phone to get it to work again. I haven't come across a solid answer for why it does this, so in the meantime I've reverted the locking mechanism to the Windows classic version, not the Windows default version that comes set on the phone. I do like the idea of the sliding unlocking mechanism, but I don't want to deal with the freezing. Is there a fix for this problem?
You are not the only one. I was wondering if it was S2U2.
I have been leaving my phone unplugged over night the past two nights to get a feel for the battery life. When I go to wake the phone in the morning it was either a blank screen or just the title bar before it froze. I had to reset to get the phone to work again.

I've had bad experiences with S2U2. I had installed S2U2 on my 8525, and I ended up having to do a hard reset. One day, after having to power down and restart the phone, it just wouldn't load. It got stuck in start-up mode. I don't plan to use S2U2 again. I'm not sure if the slide mechanism that comes standard with the Tilt 2 is related to S2U2 or not...
I am wondering if it is a conflict between the NEW WM lock slider and S2U2. I have a corporate exchange, so I have to use the PIN access.
I have the PIN set to appear in one hour if not in use. However, when using the WM slide locker, it ALWAYS reveals the PIN pad. If the PIN access did not appear after every WM slide locker, I would use it.
I changed the settings in for the WM lock to use the classic - thus eliminating the WM slide to unlock.
I will leave it OFF the charger tonight and let you know the results tomorrow.
Switching to WM Classic for the lock screen seems to work.
The screen did not freeze when I went to turn off the alarm this morning.
So the solution to use S2U2 is to change the Lock screen on your device from Default to Classic.

Thanks for the follow-up. Yeah, I've done the same thing: switched from default to classic. Thanks again.
Screen Unlock Freezes on Tilt 2
I too had this problem right out of the box. I switched to the Windows Classic as prescribed. However, this prompted me to get out the hand held drill and put a small hole right in the side of the back cover. I found myself having to battle the back cover every time I needed to soft reset, plus I noted the stylus needed to be removed to properly seat the back cover upon reinstall. Now I simply pull out my stylus and stick it in my hole. STOP IT!

Screen Unlock Freezes on Tilt 2
I just recently purchased the HTC Tilt 2 from AT&T on 02/15/2010 and for a few times I can successfully use the screen lock and unlock feature but then it stops working and I have to go press the soft reset button. This is constantly a problem now. When I try to go and unlock my phone it allows me to move the little lock icon to the left or right but the screen remains locked.
I appreciate the suggestions to dumb down to the Classic mode but this is not acceptable for a brand new device. I hope HTC comes out with a hotfix for this soon! We need to make this issue known to HTC so they can begin debugging immediately. Or do I have a defective phone and I need to return my phone?

I have seen a post similar to this pop up multiple times in the past month. This guy was specifically having problems with his mail client.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634213
Personally I have only experienced this issue when the phone was next to my engine getting 400° temps blasted on it. Its hard to say the actual cause of the problem, but it seems in ideal situations (no 2000 e-mails or excessive heat) my phone is free of any freezing or strange behavior.
*edit*
also at the end of that post another user posted a work around that seems to be helping.

After returning my first HTC Tilt 2 phone and I got a second one, I got the same problem again.
I think I found the screen lock bug for the HTC Tilt 2 that I am able to reproduce. The problem is when I enable the Owner Information [Identification information or Notes] to display when the device is turned on and then try to slide the lock icon it will not unlock the phone.
HTC, please look into fixing this bug. Thanks!
Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Press the Windows logo start key (the second key on the bottom of your phone).
2. Choose Settings.
3. Choose Personal.
4. Choose Owner Information.
5. I populated everything on the Identification tab as well as a note to contact me on the Notes tab.
6. Choose the Options tab.
7. Check mark either the Identification information box or the Notes box.
8. Click OK
9. Now lock your phone by holding down the end call button.
10. Power off your phone.
11. Power on your phone.
12. Try to unlock your phone right away by sliding the lock all the way left or right.
13. You can slide the lock icon all you want but you will never get to unlock your phone.
14. You now need to soft reset your phone by taking the back cover off and using the stylus to press the side reset button. :-(
I hope this makes it into a downloadable bug fix. In the meantime, I have disabled (unchecked) any Owner Info notifications on device power up. I really miss having this on device power up as my old 7 year old Nokia phone was able to do that without a problem.
My touch screen won't respond to touch or the stylist. This just happened but I am beginning to see some bleed on the screen so I know it's a hardware issue.
Got a new one coming to replace it but here's my problem. My settings are set to automatically lock the screen after a period of time for security reasons and to help prevent pocket calls! Does anyone know a work around with the keyboard to unlock the screen?
Most of the software I loaded is on my PC but whenever I rebuild a phone it's always good to look at what is in the thing via "remove program" option. Needless to say, I can't get there without unlocking the screen.
I tried my magic wand and threatened the phone by telling it I was going to replace it with an iPhone but so far... nothing works.
Thanks,
Rick
The lockscreens are based on touch input. The only option I know of to recover your data is to replace the digitizer.
AFAIK, doing that on Windows Mobile 6.5 Stock is completely impossible. If you can get past the slider screen, you can use the numbers on your TP2 keypad and press enter. But I'm running 6.1 (makes me feel better being used to ye olde Pocket PCs), so I can't verify anything.
I've noticed that sometimes when I unlock my device I have a black screen with only the "multi-task" button and the status bar visible. It will stay like this until I "lock" the phone and unlock it again. Touching the "multi-task" button makes the rest of the buttons appear but touching them still doesn't make the screen respond. I have noticed this on both stock and custom rom. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix or cause?
I am using the Virgin/Bell Canada GSM version.
Thanks
ps. I've posted a pic to give people an idea of what I'm getting....as it may seem unclear in my explanation.
At first this sounded similar to a problem I had.. I installed Wave Launcher, which for some reason did not play well with my phone. I would unlock the screen and the screen would immediately go black as if it had shut off, but I could still push buttons and receive haptic feedback. I had to have someone call me and delete the app while I was in the call.. it sounds kind of similar but not really.. my first guess would be some sort of problem with an app being incompatible.

I wanted to pass this on...I was reading in the Team Kang rom that there is a "bugfix version: app navigation menu icons no longer disappear after unlocking phone". So I hope this is what relates to my problem and has been "fixed"!
So, I have a G4 for about 3 months and lately I have noticed a bug of shorts. I recently started using pattern as my default unlock method and I notice sometimes (once a day or less) that when I unlock the phone everything is unresponsive, and I mean everything. It's like its frozen. If I press the power button and unlock again everything is functional like it never happened. Anyone has any idea why it's happening? When I didn't have a lock screen I had never seen this happen so I am guessing it has to do something with the lock screen. If so, if someone has any idea how to fix this it would be appreciated. It's not like its a major issue however it is kind of embarrassing for such a high end smartphone to have problems like this one. Now that I think about there was one time that this happened while sending an instant message by facebook messenger but I don't think it is related. Maybe the app did mess the system there somehow.
I know this post is old, but I have the exact same issue on my LG G4 Verizon. Upon unlocking with the pattern, every so often the screen is unresponsive. I can still change the volume with the buttons and the slider pops up to display the change like normal. I too have to re-lock and unlock the phone to get it to be responsive again.
So, last week I bought the P2. So far I'm very pleased with the device. Next to the known audio sync issue I ran into one other thing that still bugs me after a week of use: the bottom edge of the touch screen doesn't seem to respond to touch. When I slowly slide my finger from above the screen over the edge of the screen, it immediately picks up my finger, even when only a small part (maybe a millimeter) touches the screen. When I do the same thing at the bottom of the screen, it will only start registering my touch when I'm about 6mm in.
6mm doesn't sound like a lot, but it's enough to make me miss-touch the space bar half of the time. I thought I'd get used to it, but it is still quite annoying... Is this the same for all P2's? I'd like to hear if anyone can confirm this.

Same problem here, it seems that when you hide the on-screen buttons that area is effectively useless. On 6.0.0 and 6.0.1. I have no idea how to fix, but you definitely aren't the only one
i too had experienced same problem, while playing Asphalt extreme, it doesnt let me press the NEXT button
Well, I'm glad that my phone isn't broken. Let's hope it's a firmware issue and not a hardware one!
Check your keyboard set up. I have hidden buttons and the whole Spacebar is active to touch. Right to the bottom of the visible Spacebar. There is a gap slightly narrower than the Spacebar beneath it at bottom of screen. This does not respond to touch. My advice would be to be a little more accurate with typing . As there is no way to fix this and keep hidden buttons. Gesture home button, hidden navigation buttons and big battery are best features of this phone!
I wouldn't even have noticed this issues if you hadn't pointed it out. It's present, but it doesn't really bother me too much. Especially since I switched from my G4 which had me miss the spacebar and hit the home button way too often lately for no particular reason. Not having those softkeys is still an upgrade for me ^^
i am sure its definitely a SOFTWARE problem, official lenovo forms also has a thread about this problem..
so lenovo would patch up in their next update
It is software, but it won't be patched. There needs to be a certain amount of space at edge of screen (dead zone) to allow swipe up of navigation buttons but also avoid unintentional swipe ups. They could tweak the size of the dead zone I guess, but I don't see it happening. Alternatively they give an option to totally deactivate on-screen navigation buttons and accept some apps may have issues.... I guess it is a trade off. As I say, I cannot see Lenovo changing it.

The last option would work for me I guess, although you do need the navigation buttons sometimes for older apps that still use the menu button.

Ah, found it. They say it's required for the "swipe up" gesture... Seems strange to me, but let's wait for another reponse from Lenovo...
I have the nav bar enabled all the time so I didn't noticed this issue.
But why there is no option to turn the swipe function off, because we can use the full functionallity with the home button?..

Have u checked through Lenovo app in the phone? Run diagnostic through the app, if any point in the screen doesn't register the touch, you should be able to claim warranty with Lenovo. I had the same problem, and Lenovo service centre gave me a new unit....

That is not the problem. And if you try the touch screen test in the Lenovo app you see the the bottom area of the screen is white and it cannot be tested. What he is talking about is not a hardware error, it's just a poor implementation in software.
---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------
Is there anyone in here that have root that have tried Immersive mode? There are apps in Play store that lets you activate this. Does this help the bottom of the screen to register touch?
Is any custom rom resolve this problem? Because I will unlock my bootloader and root my phone to increase the headset volume.

I understand that there's potential issue with the software as many has reported as well... However it's good to confirm that it is not a hardware issue... In marshmallow, you should be able to test it, it won't be whitish... I tested before when I'm claiming warranty for my previous unit... Same issue, space bar does not respond...
