Hai
it would seem that if i have windows media player streaming a file over wifi from the intarweb and i press the wpoer button to sleep the device, it kills the wifi conn - any workarounds for this?
also sometimes when im using the htc home plugin music bit and i press the power button it kills the backend media player process :s
is anyone else having these problems - im sure theres a setting somewhere for it im just too noob to find it
edit: in fact it seems to kill the wifi conn when it goes to sleep by itself too
When you press Power button, you are puting the phone in suspend mode. you need to turn off only the screen, than all the proceses will keep runing. I do it with AEButtonPlus, that alow you to assign a button to this option, and much more...
really? that doesnt seem to make sense - i was using the media player last night through the htchome music plugin over my bluetooth stereo headset, pressed the power button to turn off the screen and everything kept running as i had expected it to - i guess it handles bluetooth differently than wifi?
i intend to have this sitting on my desk at work with apps with network connections persistently open, does that mean ive got to disable the auto-suspend feature in order to achieve this? was kinda hoping it would just power off the screen after a while and any other bits it wasnt using (maybe lower efficiency for better power consumption in places ie wifi) - not kill everything dead
it seems to me to be intermittent when it comes to pressing the power button shutting down the media player tho so hmm :S
When you turn off (suspend) your device the WiFi connection is automatically stopped, which is good, considering the power consumption... imagine you would forget it on for 2h...
shayd was right, you can turn off the screen (different from pressing power) with different programs, which would keep your WiFi going. it's like monitor off on pc, and stand-by on PC
when you pressing power button it is not "killing" all the apps that is running, only suspending the proceses of those apps. when you press power button again, it will resume all the proceses of the runnig apps.
I think you're wrong on this one... it tells the programs that system is in stand-by mode, but programs act the way they want... they can still run.
is it only the wifi it kills when it goes into suspend? what about gprs/gsm/etc? surely it doesnt turn off the phone when its suspended
it doesnt seem to stop any running processes if goes into suspend mode - it only seems to intermittently kill the background media player process (when run through the htchome plugin) when i manually press the power button - ie sometimes itll keep playing, other times itll die
the wifi does dies whether it goes into standby manually or automatically though - ill check out that aebuttonplus, cheers
ok, the only thing that matters here is that suspend (manual and auto) kills WiFi
the reason sometimes it plays a little, and then stops is that it has buffered something before WiFi goes down
what you want is a way to turn off the screen, but not go in suspend mode... i'm sure you can find something smaller than AEButtonPlus for that
oh, and be carefull: when shuting down screen, the hardware buttons are NOT LOCKED (i'm 99% sure the touchscreen is disabled, so no problem there)

You right, the programs are still runing. but they are suspending the proceses.
like if you are connected to pc via activesync, when you suspend the phone by P button, you are "killing" the sync proces, but activesync will still run. same with gps apps and so on. of course some poceses (system) can not been stoped.

If you wanna get into it:
I could be wrong, but i think the system sends a WM_SYSTEM_SUSPEND (or something similar) message to all apps running, so each app does what it wants (some ignore it and run, some stop displaying stuff but still compute, play music and some stop everything, depending on their purpose)
examples:
- app that gets mail ignores the message or stops displaying stuff
- app that plays music keeps playing but no visualization
- app for im still gets messages but no visualization
(those are true assuming programmers that made those apps did a good job for power saving - maybe system stops displaying anyway, even if apps don't)

your "spam" is making sense to me. and maybe there is a way to force some apps to ignore that command (or what ever it is).
i see ye that makes sense - alot like win32 - i really need to read the wm6 sdk
Oh, i just saw that BatteryStatus also has screen off in tray icons, and i find it useful anyway, so maybe give it a try(search forum for latest version)
Phone / MP3 Player in My Pocket
With the availability of 6GB, and soon bigger microSD cards, we can now reasonably use our Tilts as true MP3 players and discard our IPods.
I for one would like a solution, I hope to use my Tilt while Skiing this season. The Tilt will be in my jacket pocket and I will be using a Bluetooth Stereo Headset. However, if we cannot lock the phone while it is in our pocket, then we will be unable to use it in this fashion.
I for one do not have the knowledge to fix this problem, but am hoping one of the bright coders here will find a solution for me and others.
The gps is also turned off when the device is suspended.
I've just started using s2u2. (the newer low mem version of the popular slide to unlock.)
This has the advantage of being assignable to a key, can turn off the screen and lock the device all in one go.
pjam
I've found that you can still have the device in standby and listen to audio if either of the following are true:
- you are using a headset connected to the miniUSB connection
- you are using an A2DP stereo headset and press the button the corresponds to controlling start/stop of the audio after you put the device in standby. In my case, this works fine with my Plantronics 590.
This topic is dead a long time ago, but I found it, and still got confused ...
What drive me crazy is that: my Hermes (8525) still keeps wifi on even when the power is off (I dont use any kind of Tweak, just flash a cooked ROM, I tried w/ 2 different ROM). But my Kaiser doesn't!
hey all, let me know if anyone has been having a problem with their tytn 2 for some strange reason. the phone will no longer change screen orientation when it slides open, no start up sounds when pressing the power button to shut off the screen it shuts off but does not turn back on even though the phone is on. and programs are not being found anymore.
any ideas?
Yeah, Been there... Some program crashed and frozen the device...
Remember it's not just a phone, it's a computer and they sometimes fail much like our desktop and laptops...
What do you mean by "Programs are not being found anymore?"
Give us more details like which ROM are you using, what software have you installed just before the crash?
Cheers!

i installed a new rom and its working fine, thanx for helping
When I want to dial a phone number that I called before I used to press the TALK button and dial the number. Now I can't. It is not responding. The same happens and with the END button. When I weant to close a phone call it does not respond. I have to use touch screen to do it.A week ago the phone was working fine What do I do wrong?
Have you installed a program that can assign multiple functions to the hard keys? Since these programs could also allow you to not assign any function at all, thus neither the original function. Otherwise, make a complete backup of your phone and try if a hard reset brings the keys alive again...
i had the same problem. nothing to do with installing any software, it happened after i used sushi's tf3d config 0.5 to change the tab order. All the buttons stopped except for the home button. several hard resets later, installing my usul cab one t a time and testing the device, it seemed to fail after installing the remote desktop6.1 cab, or the wndows sideshow cab.
I'm using 1.93.456.2 wwe, and now tf3d config 0.6. i've not installed sideshow or remote desktop and all is working fine again.
not sure if this helps but it's kind nice to know i'm not alone in experiencing this problem!
cheers

I have Htc diamond. The backlight doesnt go off when playing music. i used registry tweaks and even a software called black me to turn the screen off but it failed. it seems that my phone missunderstands the command of turning off the screen as dimming it.when i press the power button , the light dims while playing music but it turn off the screen while there is no music being played.It might be a registry problem as it working OK previously . Can you help me with that.
did you make hardreset?
I didnt hard reset because there are lot of softwares loaded and I dont want to install them again.So I keep it as the last option. There must be sumthing other that hard reset.
I'm using jjblaster's 28014 ROM. I have the setting to NOT lock the keys when the device is off. Whenever S2P is running and the screen goes blank, the keys don't wake the device back up as they do when S2P is not running. The only way for me to get it to wake back up is to slide it out, then back in.
Do I have something strange in my settings for S2P or something? Has anyone else experienced this? Is there an easy fix (registry, a setting somewhere, etc.)?
Bump. Anyone have any ideas? I'm also running S2U2 if that makes a difference. It doesn't have the problem while not running S2P though.
I was running that ROM for a little while on my Tilt with no issues like you're describing, have you Reflashed and reproduced the issue?
Just to make sure, you're trying to wake it up with the power button correct?
I have flashed a few times and it's a problem every time with various ROMs.
It seems to be a problem with S2U2. I don't lock the keys when the phone is asleep (using Settings/Personal/Keylock). Normally, S2U2 just wakes the phone up when I hit any of the hardware keys... just not when running S2P.
I can still wake the phone up with the Power key but my power button is messed up so it's hard to do it that way.
