ATT TILT Vibration Motor Wont Stop

Hello, I've recently set up ActiveSync for 15 minute intervals during peak time. I set "Vibrate" for New E-Mail Messages. Usually it vibrates for a few short bursts, but at least once per day the vibration motor freezes up and won't stop vibrating until I press the power button. The only other recent change to my settings was that I installed Bandswitch to keep connected to the Edge network and disconnect after 120 seconds. I don't know if this change is related to the vibration problem. Anybody have any suggestions?

if you have Magic Fingers installed, you might try uninstalling it

thanks for the advice, but I don't have Magic Fingers installed

hey. weird cause i used to have the same issue before, my phone whenever it received an email it would not stop vibrating until i removed the battery. lol weird i know. r u using the stock rom? ever since i changed rom's from stock i havent had that problem before.
try flashing ur rom to an upgraded att or htc rom, maybe it would solve ur issue as it did to me
best of luck

I have the exact same issue with incoming emails. For now I have turned off notification. Configuration is pretty generic.

This happened to me...
This happened to me once with the stock ROM. I have since upgraded to the leaked AT&T Tilt ROM and it hasn't happened since.

Any Hints?

I also have this problem, but its not with every e-mail. I receive between 10 and 20 e-mails a day and the continuous motor only happens about once every other day. I'm also on the stock ATT ROM. Anyone figure out what's going on with this?

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

this issue is a bummer

oh yeah this is becoming a real pita

Me too...
Using Blackberry connect on stock ROM on Tilt, new messages occassionally cause a constant vibration until I hit the power button.
Would love to know how to stop this,

In my experience I have found that this is caused by the device being forced to do something, i.e. check email, recieve email, before the device is fully "awake". The solution for me was acheived through the use of kaiser tweak. This also means there's a registry mod. for it as well, unfortunately I left my Kaiser at home today. If ylou change the device wake up to something more acceptable such as 15 seconds or 30 seconds instead of the 1 second default you may find this fixes your problem as it has for me!

If you did that, wouldn't you stand the chance of missing most of your phone calls while the phone is sleeping?

Phone not waking up to email

Hi,
I've tried searching the forums but couldn't find an answer to my problem - and that is, whenever i receive an email (i've setup my gmail account), and the phone is on standby mode, the phone fails to wake up to notify me (and only does so once i turn the phone back on). So is there any way for my gmail emails to get pushed into my inbox, rather than having to refresh? There is no issue with the similar SMS problem, though.
Any recommendations guys? Any help would be great!

Same here...
Would really like to see the solution!

what rom are you using with this issue?

My Diamond has hardly ever notified me of new retrieved pulled emails till I wake it up and see it connected, it works one in whilte.

The rom...
Standard UK Orange rom for me...

Standard O2 ROM for me (1.93)

anyone...?

have you set your alerts in sounds->advanced? maybe try to add vibrate as well as alert.

emails are stored server-side and not sent to your phone. You get them by asking the server. Since wifi and applications are disabled during sleep mode, no, this won't work.
It is however possible if you pay for a push-mail provider. But regular pop/smtp won't do the trick. (or a cooked rom which is capable of reactivating wifi while on sleep and triggering the server once in a while (I doubt anyone could do this, it is actually possible, but probably not due to the hardware restrictions we have), but hey, this would cost you a lot of money, even if you don't receive any mails).
edit: after a little search, there is apparently some free mail provider that seem to provide free push-mail, including hotmail. Search free push mail on google.

Using Advanced Config 3.2 you can enable Wi-Fi while in Standby mode....

you need to reg edit the following two items:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\Timeouts]
"BattResumingSuspendTimeout"=1
"ACResumingSuspendTimeout"=1
by default they are set to 1 on my dimond. i think 1 represents the time an app is allowed to try to start during sleep. one for when on battery and one for when on charger. i changed mine to 15 and now i get evey email notification even while the phone is sleeping. give it a try and let me know your results.

This would drain the battery like hell

i have done this on my phone and it has had no noticeable effect on battery life. my touch had these reg edits set at 15 from stock. i guess i should point out i am using the CDMA version of these phones.

O2 forwards all my Emails to my Diamond via MMS.
Most of the time it did NOT receive those MMS until i woke it up from standby (pushing the button on top to turn on the display). Then a load of MMS came to my inbox.
So i set both values on my Diamond to 15 and it looks like it helped this problem.
NOW the MMSs come in even with Diamond in standby (just like i was used to from my HTC Wizard).
And i can NOT see any big difference in battery life after one week of testing those values.

Hi Silence69
I agree with Blazeitup123 you should go to settings - all settings - personal - sounds & notificatios - notifications - event then & set a new email notification (alert).
I have a standard rom & have set my email to be checked every 30 minutes & notify me of new emails with an alert. Ok the screen does not light up but if I am not near it to hear the alert the phone will of gone back to 'standby mode' anyway.
Hope this helps.

Hello!
I can confirm the problem and solution. My mails are fetched from gmail by an umts connection. It takes about 12 seconds when I start a manual Send/Receive until the mails are fetched. If I set the values below 10 I never get my mails since the diamond suspends to early.
Also I have noticed that when the vales are to low I sometimes get just the flashing ring. Apparently it takes another 2-3 seconds to start the audible alert and vibration.
These timeout values are used to terminate background processing which for example is required for mail fetching. If your diamond does not fetch mails when suspended or does not give you an audible notification try to increase the values. Currently I use 20 seconds.
hope this helps

Any news ?
trying this tonight

This works perfectly and solved this issue on my device, thanks.

Just a thankyou to gmvmg/captspaulding1000 as this has solved the exact same problem!

Xperia doesn't turn off Backlight sporadically

Hi @all,
i hope you can help me with my issue.
I searched very long here and at google, but i didn't find any solution for this.
My xperia is set to "turn off unit after 1 Min", and no dimming light.
Now it is so, that in 49 of 50 cases is works probably, but in 1 case, te display doesn't turn off.
Backlight runs and runs and runs, till i turn unit off manually.
When problem starts, only a softresets helps to turn it back to normal
proberties.
I didn't install any Tf3D, oder any other profil programm.
Can someone help me please?
ps, sorry for my bad english, once i was very good, but i didn't speak it very long time.
Thanks

Are there any programs which is running? any cables which are connected while it happens?

No, sometimes it happens while phoning (then it dimms, but it doesn't turn off), then sometimes after looking for Messages, then sometimes after syncing. I can't repeat this issue. I even don't know why it happens ?
Is there something i can look in the registry?
Only thin i installed is
Calender+,
Task+,
SPB Insight,
Clifford Xperia Tweak (only thin is i switched off the Threaded SMS Look),
SPB Wallet,
Sprite backup
The Rest i run from SD Card, which was pre-installed from my old unit (Kaiser).
I put it out from Kaiser, then put in in Xperia, then i rebuild the links to programm folder.
so i saved the install Progress.

You said while phoning the light dims but it doesn't turn off. perhaps 1 of your config is set to "do not turn off screen while phoning"

You mean in Xperia Tweaks?
Sorry, no it isn't set so. I wonder because i used google and searched in all languages, and no one ever had this problem ?
Is tere any Key in registry what helps you to see, what can be the problem?

I had have this problem only when i tried an new Program like SPB Shell or something like this. Some programs are disabling the option for automatic turn off in the energy management. reenabling it fixed it evertime.
Another strange issue with my X1: every night an midnight it turns on - and after 1 minute (0:01 o'clock) it turns off. oO

But i have not installed SPB Shell, other Programms that do this?

Help - Kaiser goes into standby after 30 seconds no matter what settings i select.

Hi Before i start, i have searched and tried various methods on fixing this problem.
My phone is a MDA VARIO III (UK)Branded kaiser with the t mobile official wm 6.1 rom on it
ROM 3.31.110.3 WWE
Radio 1.70.18.02
protocol 25.83.40.02H
running:-
kaiser tweak
tomtom
wmwifirouter
google maps etc etc
anyhow the problem is no matter what i do the device goes into standby after 30 seconds. this is even when running tomtom nav 6 (this never used to happen tomtom stayed running all the time) this also has the side effect of tomtom putting the gps into standby and i have to press the standby and loosing my posotion button every 30 seconds when driving which is annoying!
the backlight dim settings seem to function ok though.
this happens to all applications not just tomtom and also when plugged into the mains
i have tried adjusting the power setting which have no effect. and the unit just goes into stand by after 30 seconds
i have also tried the locklevelx trick but that did not work..
i also tried running the tilt hotfix, but it wanted to uninstall the old version and it was unable to do this and failed to install.
short of hard resetting the entire phone and loosing all my apps is there anything i can do?
Thanks
Rich

similar
I have a similar problem, and here is what i have, and have noticed:
JoshKoss rom (had the problem on the last few releases)
radio: 1.70.18.02
spl: 3.56 hard2
standby mode has operated normally when phone is not in cradle (i have not tested with longer standby times for battery operation, and i am currently set on the shortest allowed times.)
with standby disabled during external power, my screen will go black after about 20 seconds. it does not seem to function the same as a regular standby, as any hardware key will turn the screen back on, and the wifi doesn't disconnect. this situation did not occur after the new flash and cab installs, but took about a half day to begin each time.

update
looks like i have a program - worktrack by corrigo - that is causing my screen blanking.

I have the same problem with my touch pro. No matter what the phone goes into standby after 30 seconds, really annoying when using tomtom. I thought it was a rom issue so i flash a different rom. However the problem came back.
I have 3 of the programs you mentioned;
tomtom
wmwifirouter
google maps...
Really want a fix for this. It never used to occur but just recently it has started in the last week or so. Rom doesn't seem to be an issue here......its ANNOYING!!!

programs
to follow up with the similar programs, i also have wmwifi and google maps, but no tom tom.

data off??

anybody know is there a way to have my 3g/H /edge connection disabled when the screen is off like in the wifi sleep policy??
seems a bit of a waste having wifi set to sleep when screen is off if the 3g /edge connection becomes active.

One of the main use of a smartphone is to receive emails and such while the screen is off. So the answer is no, but I guess you can find a 3rd party utility on the market that does it if you really want to.
Wifi takes more power than EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA

I use "Superpower" to switch between 3g and 2g when screen is off, but you can also let it disable data (and wifi) completely.

If your life /phone usage would be better not receiving emails etc twenty four hours a day then control your phone to your needs the definition of smart is definitely not email day and night .
A Smartuser who does not depend upon receiving emails twits and facebook then use an App like Quick Settings to turn mobile data off when not needed .
You use the phone dont let it use you .

this app is a great idea but did you find it slowed your phone down?? the minute i took it off again the phone sped up. ive got docs js3 and hardcores latest kernel with tweaks and lagfix on.

ok managed to get profile set up for data to switch off when display is off and vice versa.
only thing is in the notifications bar it says 'no active profiles'??
how do i know he its working?

you could add additional "Notify" events for testing, they'll have a timestamp indicating when the even fired.
My Tasks:
Event Display Off
Wait: 10 Seconds (in case it went off for inactivity but I'm still doing stuff)
Mobile Data: Off IF %SCREEN ~ off
Event Display On
Mobile Data: On
Clock From 0:00 every 15 min Till 23:59
Mobile Data: On
Clock From 0:01 every 15 min Till 00:00
Mobile Data: Off IF %SCREEN ~ off

cool. just set this up now. this app is unreal !!!!
thanks for that
