Resume last program when power on?

This has been bugging me for awhile now. If I start a program on my Tilt and then let it sit long enough for it to power off the screen automatically, when I press the power button to turn it back on, it always goes back to the Today Screen. Is there a way to have it resume the last program I had running instead? It is very annoying when reading a book on the device and I have to keep going back to the start menu to start it back up.

Search before you post!!!!!
Just for this time... I'll do it for you:

I've been reading all of the Kaiser Posts and didn't see anything myself. I looked at the four results you have listed, and none of them appear to have a solution. Does that mean there is no solution?

try doing what one of the posts said

May it's the setting 'Today timeout:' under Settings/Personal/Today/Items..."
there is a checkbox for turning the return to today timer off
and a dropdownbox to set it up if one wish to do so after a longer period

That setting was already set to 4 hours as it is the default, but no go. I do have a PIN setup due to my Exchange server at work, but it looked like people were still having the issue even without a PIN.
One of the threads said that several programs allow you to set this up, but none of the posts defined which programs would let you.

yeah, i have PIN for exchange too. today screen cpl doesn't help either.

None of the threads mentioned here in post #2 provide a concrete solution, just speculations.
Adding to the speculation, I think this is a Windows Mobile 6 bug. I have a Treo 750 that never had this problem with the original WM5 ROM but it did with a WM6 beta ROM and it does with the official WM6 update. Now, my new Tilt also reverts to the Today screen, which is extremely annoying.
A related issue, if you set a hotkey in MediaPlayer to toggle the screen on or off while playing music, it also returns to the Today screen instead of MediaPlayer when you toggle the screen back on.

In this post there is an answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352839&page=3
The problem appears when you use a pin-code...
So, the only way today is to remove the pin-code from the lock-settings.

Since I'm syncing to my corporate Exchange server with PIN enforced, I guess I'll have to live with it. I am interested in the poster from the linked thread that says only his Kaiser is having this issue with a PIN, but looks like nobody has a better answer so far. Next time I hard reset my phone I'll give this a try before I sync to the server and setup a PIN.

Tilt - Autocomplete Has Stopped Working

Greetings,
I recently updated the stock AT&T ROM, and am a user of KaiserTweak.
Following my update to the new stock Tilt ROM, I no longer get autocomplete either when typing out a message OR (and this is the annoying part) when I want to send an email. Previously, I could enter the first letter and all of the entried beginning with that letter would come up.
Can any kind soul please let me know how I might be able to restore this? My current KaiserTweak autosuggest is set at 6. Of course, I am getting 0.
Thanks!

I recently had this problem with mine using Kaiser Tweak... Turn off XT9 in Kaiser Tweak if you have it enabled and then soft reset and it should work fine. This is what i did and my auto complete came back on no problems. If that doesnt work then I have no idea what it could be. Im still a noob.

SOLVED
That was it. XT9 is a 'advised' setting too ... YIKES.

well i didnt update the new att rom, nor do i use kaiser tweak. i just have stock everything & mysteriously my auto complete stopped working. well its not that it doesnt work, but there is a 15 second lag or something on it. and when it does work it pisses me off bcuz i'll click on the item i wanted to auto complete & it doesnt go away (bcuz the lag) so i'll click it & start typing the next word & it keeps adding the auto complete entry!
i've tried soft reseting, tried, cutting the phone off, and i've noticed i've just got a huge lag on the whole phone w/in the last hour or hour & a half. i cut the phone off & removed my sim & then started it back up & there is no lag whatsoever. could it be something that ATT is doing on their networks or something? pissing me off bad tho...bcuz i've been finding little POS problems day after day w/ this phone and when you spend that damn much money on one, you figure that you wont have to worry about all these little problems...and they add up to amount to one pissed off customer. hell if att had something else w/ wm6 & office & wifi, i'd be using it now instead of feeling like im getting shafted by purchasing this POS.

I understand that your phone is behaving in a way that you do not like. It is either:
1. a bad phone - take it back
2. it is behaving correctly and you do not understand it - in that case indicate here AFTER SEARCHING what your problems are and I am pretty sure that you can get them solved.
3. you have hosed something up - again AFTER SEARCHING ask and you shall receive.
As a newbie myself I have found this a wonderful wealth of knowledge. HOWEVER - if you do not TRY and helpyourself - put on your asbestos suit.
Now - it is entirely possible that you have purchaseda high maintenance phone that has lots of power that you do not need and should not have because it will take more than you want to invest in it.
Your decision.
(BUT - I would quit griping here because you will get VERY LITTLE sympathy.)

yeah i wasnt really looking for sympathy...but thanks for the tip, i'll digress prior to the rant next time. its just getting more & more frustrating. the purpose of my post was to in fact garner some sort of assistance in regards to the auto complete not working on the phone.
the other issues i've had w/ the phone are issues that are seemingly unable to be fixed. ie. the camera lag issues, the utilization of the phone as a 56k modem, or other things like that. i wouldnt say the phone is too much work for me as i dont mind putting forth the effort but it just makes me wonder how a phone can be sold so haphazardly without many of these issues resolved prior to it being released. /end rant
edit: i just wanted to shed more light in regards to the situation that i've found out. this is the only way i can replicate the issue.
i turn the phone on. go into messaging, its defaulted back to keyboard input, i change it to block recognizer. begin to input letters. no auto complete. after about 3 words, auto complete pops up. i click one of the options. it doesnt go away. i wait for the auto complete applet to leave. it does, i begin to type & at this point the lag has commenced. auto complete will not show up again unless i stop adding letters to the sms. when i do so, about 8-10 seconds later the auto complete pops up. i finishe the sms & send or cancel it. now everything is laggy. i cant access apps, if i lock the phone i cant unlock it. everything is frozen w/ an absurd delay, as in i've waited over 5 minutes & the unlock will not remove itself. the only thing that i can do is turn the screen off by clicking the power button. when i resume i get the top today bar and the bottom unlock bar, everything in the middle is blanked out. the only way i have been able to continue passed this point is to pop the sim door forcing it to cut the phone off, then replace the sim door lock. if i dont use the auto complete function on the phone i dont have any issues whatsoever. hopefully the added info helps. thanks.

After reading this I checked and autocomplete was not working! I recently updated Kaiser tweak and remember putting 6 words in. When I checked, it was set to 0 words. I changed it back to 6 words and is working fine again. Not sure how it got set to 0.

Kaiser ringer randomly swithces to vibrate! HELP!

This is my first time using this site and it's great! I'm sorry for any stupid questions I ask that may have been answered somewhere else already. I have the ATT Tilt/HTC Kaiser 8925 and love it...recently the ringer randomly switches to vibrate. It does it sometimes when I'm using the calendar/appointments and sometimes when I haven't even touched it. I've seen tons of posts on HTC Home versions that affect it but I found (then lost) a thread that said something about about a Registry Edit you could to to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated or any other thoughts that may help fix this. I keep missing calls and it's driving me crazy!! Thanks so much!

i haven't searched yet, but mine will switch to any level, i keep it on vibrate while at work(Kohl's) and today it switched to loud while in my pocket and i didn't realize it till my VC started to read an extremely long text in front of my boss. fortunately he thought it was the coolest thing ever but he said it will never happen again or i'm fired(ass hole) but yeah i will post what i find when i search later

Thanks so much for your help! Yeah, this is driving me crazy..pretty much every time I'm using the calendar/appointment fucntion, it switches automoatically to vibrate from ring and vibrate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!!

Are you using a stock ROM?
Unless people have had the exact same problem, it's going to be hard to help you without more info on what software is on your device.
If it does happen to be a random occurrence, a hard reset usually fixes it.

i have a similar problem with my tilt
i have noticed this hapening on my tilt which is running duttys latest rom. its only been happening in the last fed weeks.
ive also noticed that sometimes the phone will ring for a couple of seconds then go into vibrate mode as well.

i found my problem to be the settings in spb phone suite. if you have any profiles set etc if you change the system settings spb phone suite will automatically change them back after like 10-20 minutes. hope this is a help to some people. but i was about to go crazy till i sat and stared long and hard at my phone and realized what could also be the problem. i no longer have the issue!

i think this happens when your profile is set to automatic... it takes your status from your calender (if you have set it to busy in some meeting) it will switch to vibrate and if there is nothing for you in the calender it switches to the normal mode.....

I had the problem, then I flashed to L26 v6 and no more problems.

*Dumb question, but how and where do you SET your PROFILE? There's tons of options on the phone, but I don't know of anywhere to change something that says profile from automatic to something else? Any info. on that would be great and I'll try your solution. I'd rather not do a hard reset if I can help it. Thanks!

Having the same issue. Saw this post:

Not sure if it works yet, but good luck to others!

Looks like this might be due to HTC Home. It appears there is an update / fix:

Backlight dimming & keylock?

I know, I know before the torrent of replies happens - "Why didn't you Search", "You should have searched before posting" et etc ...... I did search and the results didn't help
I have two Kaisers with identical software builds (slightly different contents but the base OS is identical). On both of these I have (had..) the backlight issue where if the backlight was off when the device was locked (either via the 'Device Lock' Today item or via Battery Status 'DeviceLock on Wakeup'). To enable the backlight it must be unlocked and in bright sunlight this is very difficult.
Now for some reason this behaviour has changed on one of the Kaisers - the 30-second dimming still happens when locked or unlocked, now however tapping the screen turns the backlight on. This is exactly the behaviour I want I assumed there would be a registry difference between the two however I can't find one. All the values in the keys
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\
HKLM\ControlPanel\BackLight\
are identical. I was hoping to copy the changed registry values and include them in my next ROM re-build but I can't see any differences.
Does anyone know what other registry keys I should look at?
Cheers
Andy

Install this cab and power the phone off and power it back on.
Hey presto brightscreen when you want to unlock the phone!

Thanks for that but that is the behaviour I have at the moment without a startup application. There is obviously something in the registry that is making this work as I want it on my Kaiser. I just want to know what it is?
Andy

I think I have fixed it....
After rechecking the registry settings I found a difference and I don't know how I missed this previously. I have made the change on the Kaiser that wasn't working as I wanted it and now it's working exactly as I would like:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel]
"LockLevel"=dword:ffffffff
No more guessing when trying to unlock it in sunlight....
If anyone is interested?
Cheers
Andy

TQ very much.
It is working like you said.
No need to use 3rd party app. Just a simple registry tweaking.

dim backlight on device-lock
I recently flashed to a WM6.1 ROM (ATT 3.57.502.2) and I have noticed that now when you enable the device-lock it does NOT dim the screen. I actually preferred it that way as it helped me realize when I had a successful tap to enable the lock. Not to mention battery-life issues when putting phone in a tight pocket, immediately afterwards.
Can somebody enlighten me on how to make it behave as it used to? I tried to edit some of the registry entries mentioned in this thread, and others, but none seem to apply to the device-lock. Again, I'd like to have the screen dim on device-lock as it did with my old ROM.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Thanks, that works... BUT
on my Kaiser only until the next soft reset, then dword is back to 00000000. Anyone else see the same? Solution?

Found out that the cab from post #2 partially solves it. You still have no backlight the first time after a reset, but at least you don't have to go into the registry every time after resetting.
Too bad it sets the level to x0A instead of x0FFFFFFFF.

Key to try for backlight woes
I've had this problem since flashing from 6.0 to 6.1 AND selecting an unlock password at initial startup. Sometimes it would reset backlight time to 10 sec. after soft reset and it was even resetting it without a soft reset for a while. Changing the "Locklevel" key helps as previously posted, but sometimes it would get reset to "0" from my setting of "7" intermittently and then the problems returned. a soft reset always reset this key to "0". I found another key below which I changed from "1" to "0". everything has been totally normal for a week of heavy use. I have not yet reset, but at least it behaves normally even when I use the Today screen Device Lock.
The key is HKLM-Control Panel-Backlight-DimBKLinUnlockScreen
The only remaining issue is sometimes when I power on from suspend the screen comes on and then goes off immediately. Hitting the button again keeps it on.
Good Luck!

Quiet ring on pickup Registry settings?

I am having problem with my Quiet ring on pickup. Turning it ON and OFF in Sound & Display settings does not work either. It ring at full volume level whenever a call is receive. Shaking my phone will not lower the volume either.
I have also tried changing this registry but have no luck at all
[HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila]
"DisplayBePolite" =00000001
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting]
"EnableBePolite" =00000001
"SupportBePolite" =00000001
I think I found the problem here.
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor]
"PhonecallBePolite" = ?
I tried to change this registry value "PhonecallBePolite" to "1" but it always go back to "0" value after soft reset.
Does anyone knows how to solve this problem or did I missed anything?
I would also like to know what are the Registries that affect this "Quiet ring on pickup"?
All help are very much appreciated.

solved!!!
Never mind. I have managed to solve the problems. Thank you for looking.

Don't you just love it when people do things like that? They figure it out and quickly leave. Yet, they'll stick around for solutions if they can't figure it out themselves. Selfishness.

I apologise for being ignorant and my late reply!!!
OK.. Back up all your precious data. (Well.. I use Microsoft MyPhone and double back-up the memory and microSDHC data on my PC and re-format all media card )
Do a Hard reset or your favorite ROM flash. Next, install all your favorite apps one at a time. Run all apps after each installation and check that everything works fine before going further. It has been about a month since my last ROM flash and my phone is very stable.
Best of luck guys!!!

im faceing the same problem with my favorite Rom
" quiet ring on pickup " is not working
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor]
"PhonecallBePolite" = 0
and when im changing the value to 1
it wroking with me in the first ring call only
then it rest to 0 again
