Hi folks, having a slight issue with my TP2. It is running the preinstalled vodafone rom for the UK. (version 1.14.161.6 (50207) WWE)

Over the last two days it has stopped automatically powering down the screen when not being used. The backlight switches off as normal, but the screen does not shut down until i press the power button. So if I forget, the screen can stay on all night, killing the battery.

Have been into the settings,on the power screen, and checked all 4 boxes are checked for the times to shut off the backlight and screen on both battery and mains power, and they are.

Any ideas? I have not installed any new software so am stumped. Any common causes of this behaviour?

Cheers

Jon

did you change it through the manila settings tab or start/settings/system/power/backlight ? the reason why i ask is because sometimes when you set settings through manila tab settings, the settings dont work. try deactivating manila, then start/settings/system/power/backlight , then reactivate manila. hope that helps. if not im stumped too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jonboy99:
Is manila part of touchflo? If so I don't have it enabled, I just use spb shell on top of winmo 6.1, so yes was using start/settings/power method.

However, not sure if I have hit upon the problem - I use a program called g-alarm (which is one of the best programs ever), and in it's settings there is a way to keep the screen on when the alarm is snoozed. I recently enabled this, and wonder if it might have messed up the os settings somehow.

I tried uninstalling g-alarm last night and it made no difference, but since restoring a backup, and changing the screen-on setting within g-alarm to off the phone is working normally.

I daren't re-enable the setting to test it, just in case the phone gets messed up again for good this time :D so this might be a total red herring, and perhaps it was just the restore that did the trick (although have restoring before at least 3 or 4 times with no joy). Will report back when I dare to mess again. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akademik_acheeba:
cool to here you are back to normal lol. it would have been a major hassle if you had alot of apps, accounts and whatnot to reinstall. i got really pissed at g-alarm one time when it wouldnt stop going off (phantom alarm) so i will never use it again. you might want to find the thread from where you got it and report the bug. maybe someone else has the same problem and the developer came out with a patch or upgrade for it. :cool:

Had same problem on 2 phones

I had same problem on 2 phones- Tilt2 and Kaiser (Tilt). Problem was.... Microsoft Live. When mail account set to ..As Arrived... phone doesn't go to sleep and keeps screen on permanently. Battery was empty in half of the day. After I switched to use POP or IMAP mail and stopped using Live, everything became normal and works excellent.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fishman1986:
Here is the Answer

Maybe you have played some games and did not close it by the normal way..

Try to change the registry:

自动关屏时间

HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\

"BatteryTimeOut" = 10

Then

另一种方法是在HKCU\ControlPanel\Power\

Display=25 改成自己想要的值

If there is not one,create it by yourself..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jonboy99:
Well, it still happened today, so I think that rules out the g-alarm backlight setting. However, it worked fine most of the time, so intermittent.

Papasha, I think you could be onto something there, I do use MS live. Be a shame to lose the push mail though, but that's the next thing i'll try disabling if it recurs again.

Will try that too fishman if problem comes back, the backlight key is present but the display setting is not. Easily created though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jonboy99:
*post Updated on 28-1-10*.

The problem did start recurring again, so I tried the suggestion to disable the hotmail pushmail (sync items as they arrive) and that has definitely sorted the problem. As a very welcome side effect the phone suffers major slow downs far less now, if at all. I still use livemail but just set it to sync every 60 mins.

Hi All,

I'm a long time lurker and first poster - just want to say initially thanks for all the helpful hints, tips, software etc I've picked up from the forum.

However, I've recently got a problem that I can't seem to crack and wondered if anyone has any ideas. I've tried searching but to no avail.

Randomly (and often when browsing) 'Messaging' appears on the top bar (with 'Delete' and 'Menu' on the softkey bar (as if it had suddenly shifted to an email page) but the main portion of the screen remains frozen with whatever was going on before (i.e. the webpage, today screen or whatever). It'll happen a few times then Opera crashes, but it also happens with the phone on standby (not sure if Opera was still running).

If I hit 'Menu' then 'Reply' it comes up with the latest message from my Hotmail account. I'm running Windows Live as a push account I think it may be that triggering it when it starts to sync. Perhaps some sort of problem with Opera and Windows Live when they're both running?

I've not got any serious mods installed and didn't have this problem until recently. I've got the latest versions of Opera, Windows Live and have recently reflashed the ROM in case that was the problem but no such luck.

I'm going to disable the push email and see if it still happens then try uninstalling things to see if that stops it but any suggestions gratefully received if you've had a similar problem and have managed to solve it.

Brief spec:

WinMo 6.5 (latest official HTC ROM)

UK O2 network

Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2u (Ninja Duck enhanced, but it happened with the Opera official version too)

1% Battery mod

FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly battery icon mod

sdkcerts for above

SmartPhone tracker (disabled - going to uninstall to check)

ive got the same issue with my stock att branded tilt2

hope someone knows whats causing this...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mackers:
I'm now thinking it may be a memory shortage issue - last time it did it I checked on task manager and it said memory usage was 95%

It's only about 59% when I reboot so I can only assume that Opera or something is using an inordinate amount of system memory. No idea if that's it, though :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TheThenSome:
HTC Imagio Too

Same problem with my HTC Imagio. Messaging just pops up randomly and for no reason. I believe, too, that it has something to do with the Hotmail push email, but it has not always done this, which is the real mystery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jcterry:
I'm having the same thing happen. But when I hit the reply button, it just brings up a blank email with my address in the From line. I haven't noticed any increase in RAM though. To me, it's nothing more than a nuisance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wearefree:
Same here, tmobile stock rom wm6.5.

But when I touch the center area the message tool bar goes away and I resumewhatever I was doing just fine, so I normally ignore this.

May have something to do with checking email. I don't have push (push for gmail still not good IMHO), but the phone is checking my two gmail accounts every 15 minutes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KCMatt:
I have this problem too, and can't stand it. Have push Hotmail via Windows Live, Sync "as items arrive" from 7am to 11pm.

I've also downloaded the HTC hotfix for SMS freezing (in case this is related somehow).

I searched for it and can't believe this hasn't been solved yet.

I also have this issue.

I have observed this occur with 65% memory usage.

I can also confirm this occurs with POP3 email. I have 2 POP3 accounts and no push accounts.

It does not seem connection related, happens when connected via EDGE, 3G, & Wifi.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rockdragon:
Same problem here. Although mine happens on both emails (pop and windows live) and text. Whenever I close any of them the messaging will pop up 5-30 seconds later.

Hopefully if we get enough people with the same problem someone will eventually find a solution!

EDIT: I'm running stock Verizon ROM with a couple minor mods (nothing that screws with messaging, other than the disable SMS sent popup)

Hi!

i decide to post my question here because this thread is visited by too many "rom cookers"....

I have a Benq E72, but nobody knows how to help me =(

I'm cooking a spanish 6.5 rom using a kitchen that i found on a polish forum but it have an old XIP, so i found a new xip for smartphone i ported it to my Benq E72....

But my question is: The kitchen folder have a "ROM" subfolder and inside have the files imgfs.bin (1kb), the old xip.bin (2,89mb) and the file os.nb (3mb), so i replace the xip.bin with the new xip.bin i left the imgfs.bin but i don't know what to do with the file os.nb...(i'm not sure but i must integrate the new xip.bin into the os.nb?) i post my question here because both (excalibur and benq ) are smartphone and maybe the "cooking way" are the same and because this forum have high activity, more than the "smartphone general"....

Hope someone could help me...!

Sorry for my english

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doderlein:
Hi all! :)

Yesterday, my X1 started behaving weirdly for no apparent reason. It simply stopped responding when I slid out the hardware-keyboard (i.e the screen didn`t "flip").

Secondly, when I write with the hardware-keyboard there doesn`t seem to be any response until I slide the keyboard back in, and everything I wrote appears on the screen. It started happening spontaniously, and did several hard-resets and ROM flashes to no avail.

Anyone else experienced this? :(

Thanks in advance.

Customers on Rogers that are using dream or magic currently have their data disabled until they upgrade to the network's newest firmware for the phone. I am currently running a cyanogen build. Would i have to flash the new rogers firmware and flash it back to cyanogen to get my data back? or is there an easier path i can take?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senatus:
Do NOT attempt this. The Rogers' version contains PerfectSPL, which will prevent any subsequent attempt to reflash or root.

The impression I get from reading here and there is that most of us are waiting to see if changing the build.trout.prop file will spoof the Rogers' script check or, failing that, if someone will come out with a modified Dream ROM, as Cursordroid has done with the Magic.

Try this cab, its a registry tweak that continues the music audio when you press the standby button.

***soft reset after install.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zacnotes:
different player

i like kinoma- i purchased the full version, but they also have kinoma freeplay, that i used for a long time. it allows you to turn the screen off, but doesn't interfere with the music. it also saves the location in an audio file that it was playing at, so if it is a podcast or something that you are listening to, you don't have to scroll to find where you were when you shut it off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] riot1031:
You could also try Nitrogen. It has a button to shut off the screen and keep the music playing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
I just go to the Backlight settings, let the screen dim in 10seconds and "turn off screen" in 1 minute. After one minute, the screen will be off, but the music is still playing.

I would like this ROM cause it is the official shipping 6.5.3 rom and have heard it is very stable and very fast.

That is the ROM I am currently running. His ROM's are good, but I would love a light or clean rom. Once a program is added VIA the ROM image you cannot simply remove it, and with that I have 10 programs on my phone taking up space that I will never use. I think a 518 ROM would be nice, if it where a light ROM.

Here's my question, I have reset the phone maybe three times. What I want to know is how often should I actually reset it to be getting it at full performance all the time?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
There's no correct answer to this. I suppose it depends on the ROM you're using. Some can go several days before a need to reset, some lasts several hours, etc. My opinion is that of your ROM requires you to consistently reset during the day to boost performance, that's a pretty poorly cooked ROM.

I personally don't worry about it by having my device auto-reset every day early in the morning.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xredjokerx:

[HD2 General] gregormax:
It all depends on your needs. I work in a company developing soft for all kinds of phones (iPhone, Android, Symbian, WM) and what can I say... There were two phones I really liked in the past few years - Nokia N95 (imo a perfect phone) and... the HD2! It has all features I'm lookin for in a phone and it is stable and easy to use (before I had a HTC Diamond and I wasn't happy with it). Of course there's the iPhone so it depends - if such features as good GPS, internet browsing and decent camera are important for you go with the HD2. If you have some other needs (for example you want to play good games) go with the iPhone or a Symbian phone (there are cool games on OVI Store).
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I'm also in your position (and also G1 + CM4.2.13). I'm eagerly awaiting the HD2 from T-Mobile.

I'm interested in the HD2 due to the 4.3" display and snapdragon and WM. I wasn't able to find the same programs from my experience with WM6 on my iPAQ hx4700 PDA (4" VGA lcd). Mainly good PDF reader and video player.

The G1 + Android is very nice, but I don't feel as productive (pdf/text book reading/videos) as I did when I carried my iPAQ and my Motorola Razr phone. Also the lack of 3.5 audio jack...

Hi guys, just a quick question about custom roms + otas updates. Since flashing a custom rom removes official ota updates, are they available still via manually downloading and installing?
