I originally posted this in the "Wizard" forum but wasn't sure if this one was more appropiate:
Every time I turn off my device and turn it back on, if it was on ring mode before it toggles to vibrate mode, and if it was on vibrate mode it toggles to ring mode.
I've done several soft resets, looked at ring settings and changing them... but nothing that I've done has worked. I've searched this and other forums but I haven't found a way to fix this problem so far. I would really appreciate the help if anyone has any clues.

Also, if it's of any help, this problem started happening out of the blue. I haven't installed anything new or changed any configuration settings lately. So I have no idea what could have triggered it.
I figured out what was happening. It turns out my communications manager button was jammed and that was what was causing the problem. Fortunately I was able to fix it with a small screwdriver.

I have a T-Mob MDA Var 3. When i make a call on battery power the backlight doesn't stay on. annoyingly, the only way to turn it on during a call is to hit the power button.
This seems silly as I might want to place someone on hold or start a conference, etc. I have set the backlight defaults not to turn off on external or battery power.
Does anyone know how how I can stop the backlight turning off during calls?
Thanks
Disable fast sleep and sleep ...
Use KaiserTweak below:

Thanks for the quick reply - i will try that!
Not another lazy noob....
I've tried Kaiser Tweak, and verified the registry settings. I've used google, the XDA Forum and the XDA Wiki. Still, my backlight/call end problem persists. My ROM is the most current version.
Can anyone help? I really like the Kaiser, but this problem makes it all but unusable.
Thanks,

Mine does this. very anoying especially when calling voicemail or an automated call system where you have to press keypad numbers. Have to keep turning the phone on to press the keypad.
Hi guys,
I have a HTC tilt and overnight something wierd happened to it. I switched it on and its was scrolling through the home tab by itself and now thats fixed but its scrolling through all the options in the start menu when it is opened. I flashed a new rom to it, but the same problem persists. When i press the power button to send the phone into suspend mode, the screen switches back on in 2 seconds. I would really appreciate if you guys could help me out. Thanks
check if ur jog wheel on the right hand side is stucked or what. that the only thing I can think of whoich scrolls without u touching.
I have tried that, it doesnt seem to be the problem because when its scrolling and i press any other button, it stops scrolling till the phone is on. But when i put it in suspend mode and it switches back on, the same problem. I dont know what could be causing this problem.
then i think its like a circuit problem or something, cause it means that something is being pressed at all times on a board, which excites screen and scrolling . did u put it in ur pocket and sat tight or something ! j/k
and u also said that it persists even with change of rom, so I think it might be a hard ware problem !
hmm..it did fall down like a week ago, but the problem just showed up last night. Do you think i should open it up and check it out from the inside. But if something is being pressed at all times then the pressing of a button shouldnt stop the scrolling and the phone shouldnt come out of standby by itself.

okay if it is in warranty dont open it up, even if isnt in warranty,uless u know how to fix it dont open it.
okay, so in first post u said, it was scrolling on home plugin and u stopped it. can u let me know how ?
well i just played around with it a little bit, did a couple of soft resets and took out the battery put it back in, and then did a hard reset. With that it stopped scrolling on the home plugin but then i cliked the start menu and it was scrolling there, then i flashed the rom and it was scrolling through everything i opened, contacts menu options and what not. It only stopped when i pressed a button and then it was fine till i didnt put it in suspend mode. After i put it in suspend mode it switches back on with 2 sec and the same situation. When i leave the screen on, it switches after some time but the QWERT keyboard under it is always on as in you can see the lights on from the small space.
anything, anyone, i did find a temporary fix, it i went into flight mode and switched on the wireless and the bluetooth. The pda remained in suspend mode and the automatic scrolling stopped. But I need a permanent fix.
This has been the most unhelpful forum EVER....
according to what you say it appears that problem is caused by your radio (radio) rom
try different radio first
try different rom second
best wishes,,

I have tried doing that, i changed from Duttys Hybrid Rom to the HTC tytn rom and i m pretty sure that changed the radio too...But i still have the same problem. I have heard theres a fix by ATT for the tilt when it does something like this, but i cant find it.
Any Help ?
not really try the xda wiki section
i never heard of that fix but try it - you dont have much choices
good luck
I just purchased a Tilt yesterday and I'm having the exact same problem. Sorry I don't have any answers but just wanted to let you know it's not just you. I'm planning on just exchanging the phone tomorrow since obviously no one has any clue what the problem is. Anyway...good luck friend.
Pez
Hey,
Ya i have heard of these cases, apparently ATT has a fix for it, could you be kind enough to ask them for the fix. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
yah i have the same problem as of the past few days if anyone can find this fix let me know please.
any news anyone ?
so now my phone wont hit the down button that much ne more its just the up button now, so im beginning to think its not hardware issue
hello xda
ive been reading these forums for a while checking out tweaks, software and other stuff, good stuff
but last night, when I wanted to check out my email, i turned on the wifi but after a few seconds, the wifi slider would go back to "off", i did a reboot and the problem persisted. meanwhile i noticed the "phone" was off too, so i tried enabling that too, no luck, same thing.
and something else too, after like 3-5mins of using it, the touchscreen crashes and i cant use it anymore, only buttons will work.
today i decided to do a hard reset, but that didnt fix anything. when i go to "communications" panel, everything is "off" except Bluetooth.
-if i turn that off, airplane mode goes on
-if i click phone on, it goes off after like 5 seconds, same with wifi
has anyone else experienced something like this ?
thanks in advance,
xerron

Today I went into location and security and I changed the Screen unlock setting to "none"....
Immediately the screen went off and has stayed off. Opening the keyboard, pressing the on button, restarting does nothing. I wonder if anyone else has done the same thing, It's hardly an obscure setting.
Anyone have any idea what i should do?
I'd say the best choice would be to do a hard reset and start all over.

I would call tech support, return it to the store and shoot an email off to moto-dev. Obvious software problem motorola should be made aware of.
Hey, I have been having the same issue, although mine doesn't seem to have been from changing a setting. It seems more random than anything else. So yeah sometimes the phone will just randomly restart (this last time while I was playing Air Attack HD) and then it will get stuck at the Droid Eye boot screen, eventually the screen will time out and then the phone is pretty much dead after that, except I can still receive notifications and even phone calls, but I can't act on any of them. The screen won't turn on no matter what I do. After pulling the battery and restarting, it keeps doing this same thing. i have factory reset 3 times now and it's getting annoying. I'm trying to keep as many apps off as possible. Does this sound like your issue? I'm going to keep searching the forum, and maybe start up a thread on this issue.

Doesn't happen for me..

So I've searched all over to try and figure this one out, but there's a lot of similar issues and none that I could find that are the same thing. The description might end up long because I want to be absolutely clear about what's happening (since there were a lot of really similar issues I found when I searched).
I have a Motorola Droid running CM 7 (.0.3, i think), but the problem was also there on the last version of CM I was running (6.something, probably). The first time I wiped and installed CM7 the problem seemed to be solved, but I screwed up the account setup and on the 2nd install the problem was back.
ANYWAY, the actual problem is this:
My phone's sound will NOT turn off. I can turn it all the way down with the volume rocker, and it will show the Vibrate icon, but the volume bar will not go down that last little bit. It does not vibrate. It does not go to silent. If I turn off sound from the lock screen, it doesn't do anything except show a vibrate icon at the top. The volume level remains the same. Same goes for the sound toggle on the home screen menu. It just doesn't do anything except change the icon to vibrate, silent, whatever.
The only way I can get it to go to silent/vibrate is through the Sound menu in settings. Even then, I can't just check the Silent Mode box, I have to go to the volume dialog box and manually drag it all the way to zero. Then, if I hit volume up on the rocker or turn the sound up in any other way, I have to go back to Settings to change it again.
I'm going crazy trying to solve this. I've wiped my phone. It doesn't seem like a hardware issue since everything is working except the switch to vibrate/silent from sound-on mode. I've tried everything I can think of. I've had the phone for almost 2 years now, and I'm generally good at fixing this type of thing, or at least finding the answer on Google. Has anyone had this issue?

A good way to try and debug the issue would be to install Widgetsoid 2.x(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2&feature=search_result) and place a switcher on your homescreen with the different sound options such as silent and vibrate. Then, toggle those switches and see if your status bar icon changes, and if the phone is actually in vibrate or silent mode.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest to try another ROM, or perhaps it's a hardware issue.
Thanks, I'll try that and let you know the results.
Go to Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Sound -> Silent State (check)
