I recently bought a bluetooth keyboard mainly to use while on wifi, but to my disappointed wifi dont seem to work with bluetooth on!
Another problem, my ppc keeps shutting down while i'm using my bt keyboard, tried few "keepalive" apps but it still shuts down, found only one way, thats adjusting the power settings not to shut down permanently, but this needs soft reset every time
Anyone with experience or suggestion on either the above?
Nevermind that, I found out that wifi needs adequate signal strength in order to function properly with bluetooth on.
About the power issue, the main problem was not knowing when the PPC will shut down, so i wrote a morscript to prompt a countdown when its about to shut down, and option to reset the idle timer.
Thanks all..

I've tried various ROMS, currently using the clean Tilt rom. After a hard reset I am able to turn on the WLAN and connect to my home network. After a while, I am no longer able to turn on the WLAN. If I tap the WLAN button in comm manager, I see the spinning beach ball for a few seconds, then nothing happens. The icon doesn't light up, it doesn't search for a network, no error is displayed, just nothing.
Has anyone seen this problem or have an idea of what else I can check?
Did you install any of the custom comm managers? It's pretty common that they break the WLAN enable/disable. I use the 10 button one but there is a reghack to fix it.
I just did another hard reset. Still using Helmi_Tilt_AKU.0.7.0.R1.BigStorage.exe ROM. After the initial startup and customization ran, I was able to turn on and connect the WLAN. After that, I did a power off. (Hold the power button 5 secs). When I turned the Tilt back on, I was no longer able to turn on the WLAN. I had not installed any software.
I'm reflashing with the original ATT rom. I'll report back after I've done the same test with that ROM.
I reflashed the original ATT rom. Same Issue. I think I just have a bad unit. If I power cycle. sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. I haven't been able to get a consistent result.
Final result. It was a bad unit. I got a warranty replacement and it's working fine now.
when i turn the screen off (pressing the sleep button or letting itself turn off after the required time) it wont wake up again and i have to take the battery out or do a hard reset. anyone know whats happening
are you pressing the power button or one of the others?
think it defaults to the power button unless you change it to any button

Has this issue been resolved? Seeing this happening more and more now. Without very consistency, I'm suspecting it happens more when you let it sleep with the wifi on and connected to a router.. or it can be the touchflo3d....
TF3D is a known culprit for this issue.
It has happened only on time to me (so far). I'm using the stock ROM with no TF3D. The time it happened i had the earphones and the charger plugged in. lol?
Ok, just happened to me for the 2nd time today.
NO:
Wifi
Bluetooth
In airplane mode (all radio off)
YES:
USB connected to my Mac
running SyncMate on Mac and driver on the X1
TouchFlo3D
Ok...
Just happened again when I was waiting for a important phone call...
YES:
Wifi to my router (Apple Airport)
Bluetooth on to my Sony stereo headset
Touchflo3D
Stock UK R1A ROM
NO:
Not connected to my Mac
I'm guessing it locked up 1-2 hr after the stock alarm woke me up, I turn it off and put the phone to sleep. Hard to believe its memory related as the phone was freshly soft-rest right before I went to sleep.
So something randomly happened or there was a massive memory leak with touchflo3d over night even in sleep mode!
I've to admit this is a unpopular thread.. am I the one of the only few having this problem reoccurring?
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
Hello,
I got a little problem with my Touch Diamond 2: When I'm at home, where I have a wifi access point and I turn off wifi on the TD2 in Commanager then the TD2 always turns on wifi automatically under certain circumstances that I don't know the reason for.
Is there any way or any registry hack, so that the TD2 only turns on wifi when I turn it on manually? Is There any way to prevent wifi auto turn on after soft reset?
I wanna conserve battery life and really hate it, when the device turns on wifi automatically.
Thanks in advance

this happened to me also, I figured out, that when connected by cable to PC the wifi cannot be turned off. Try it, and let readers know (I have no cable yet by myself).
Hello,
I've tried searching for an answer on this, but no sucess until now.
My Diamond 2 turns on its screen when it looses and get radio signal back. That is a good feature but the annoying thing is if I enter in a lift with the cell phone in my pocket, it will loose signal, turn screen on and the contact with my pocket will give it "crazy" commands that will mess it up or even call someone.
Is there a way (maybe via Registry Editing) to force it to never turn on the screen unless I press the power button? At least, an option to do nothing in case of signal loss?
Thank you.
Robert
I've just done a few experiements and if I lose signal and it returns, nothing happens. However, perhaps it would help you if you get into the habit of locking your phone before you press power. To do this hold the home button down for a second or so. The phone will buzz and it'll be locked.
Thank you. That's what I will do whenever I put the phone in my pocket. It is still not the best solution, even because I use my D2 to receive emails from work so I am forced to type a password to unlock it after sliding to unlock.
I know there is a Registry key to auto lock, but I prefer doing that manually as you said.
Which ROM are you using? In both original HTC English and now TOM's 2.02.1 it always turn screen on when looses and get signal back.
Thanks.
I'm using the original HTC. I've tried it again, I go to a place where I know I'll lose signal, wait until it does, then press power off. I go back into signal and nothing happens on the device. Only when I press power on does it come back on and show that I have signal. If I do it the other way, press off before I go out of signal, then the behaviour is the same (though I have to just wait and assume signal has been lost, since I can't see it!). Is it perhaps that the phone is set to light up when it receives a certain bit of data (such as a push email), which it's more prone to getting when it comes back into signal? Incidentally, it's 'lose', not 'loose'
I get similar behaviour after setting the phone to stream internet radio and then turning it off and putting in my pocket. Sometimes, after signal loss, I get it out and notice it's turned on and random things have happened due to screen contact.
Funny thing is, I've tried locking the phone too, and exactly the same thing happens. what's the point of a phone lock if it doesn't (lock)!
I've not associated it with a particular event except signal loss. But, when it's not lost the signal, I don't take it out of my pocket, so perhaps it's happening other times without me noticing.
Anybody with an idea to completely lock the phone will be my hero.
And, whilst we're on the subject of annoying traits, is there a way to get rid of the wretched WM "cannot connect with current settings" dialogue which appears after a few failed attempts to reconnect to a 3G network? I find this *really* annoying when all it takes is a few more attempts...
Hi
When the signal is lost or regained the phone is triggered to turn on, but in "unattended" mode. The phone will be on and applications will run however unattended mode is just that, and so no user input is accepted and the screen is not turned on, and the owner will have no idea the phone has switched on. After a short period of time the phone will enter sleep again. In fact many times a day the phone will be turning on in unattended mode without you knowing for one reason or another.
The problem with the phone awaking fully is going to be due to an application or feature you are using. The application will start running when the phone enters unattended mode and is for some reason raising the power state to fully on, this is due to bad programming as it isn't suppose to do this unless it has an alert and needs to show the screen and wait for a response, even then it should give the option for this to be disabled.
Incidently a lot battery problems where the battery doesn't seem to last very long can be due to applications keeping the phone running in unattended mode, so while the phone looks off the processor is still on allowing applications to run, this very quickly drains the battery.
You need to find the application causing the problem then get in touch with the author.

Thanks for that, Phil. Understanding is the first step to sorting a problem out. I wasn't aware there was an "inbetween" state.
Hey, i have a Bluetooth problem. When i turn Bluetooth on after 30sec it turns off.
Can someone help me?
First *push*
It sounds like you have a problem with your phone. Bluetooth stays on permanently, and there is no configuration option apart from on or off. Dies it say it is off?
Unless you mean discoverable? I have got a feliing it only remains discoverable whilst you are in the settings screen?
I have the same issue since a few weeks although not that fast.
Bluetooth switches off automatically on my HD7 after a few minutes.
When connecting it to my carkit, it can make a first call without problems, but when finished the call it will switch off bluetooth after a few minutes.
I even now reverted back to 7.0.7389.0 by using one of Ansar's ROMs, but I have again the same issue.:mad
Any one else has similar issues on the HD7? Anyone knows how to fix it?
Could it be something physically broken?
Meanwhile I installed all updates again with Zune, but still the issue exists.
I also have an issue with the WiFi when the issue with BT occurs.
If I try to switch on/off WiFi, the phone hangs for a while, after that he doesn't go to sleep mode no more and it's impossible to switch it off with the Power button.
Only solution at the moment is to take out the battery.
Had it several times now already.
I mailed HTC, and they told me to send in the phone, but I'll need to miss it for 2-3 weeks then
