Hi folks,
does somebody know how I can prevent my kaiser (t-mobile vario III) from powering on when the keyboard slides out? This happens a lot when it is in the pocket of my trousers....
thanks
Werner
... to use a case...
ok, but thats near removing the battery before putting it in the pocket...
first press and hold the hang-up button so that it locks. Then just push the power button once. This puts it in standby. Then just configure the standby timeout when not on external power, and you're set.
how is it about aktivating the lock function?

When I hold the hang-up button my phone doesn't lock.
Holding hang-up button ("red phone" key) does lock the unbranded, HTC Kaiser. Dunno about Tilt or other branded phone
the vpa device of kaiser with german rom doesnt have this problem i read in ppc-world forums. so its just a reg key or a cab installed at branding. so lets get a solution
Holding the red phone end key on the Tilt simply ends your data connection.

and on the HTC branded Kaiser, it locks the device and does NOT end the data connection .. so I tend to agree, there must be some registry setting to change this.
On the MDA Vario III holding the red button for a few secs ends the data connection, a few secs longer locks the device. best of both worlds I guess.

Hello all,
I just got my AT&T Tilt and love it so far, except for one major annoyance. When I press the power button, the device will turn the screen back on after a few seconds to a few minutes. The problem is when it's in my pocket, it can accidentally call people. My 8125 and 8525 did not experience this issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Button lock
It sounds as though the phone isn't set to lock all buttons except the power button when it is in standby. This happened to me last time I re-flashed my Wizard, and I couldn't figure out for ages why my battery was draining so quickly as well!
Settings > Buttons > Lock
Hmm, not seeing any option under Buttons or Lock. I do remember this setting from WM5. It does appear, however, that the buttons are not turning the phone on, it's just waking up even if I leave it on a desk.
You can add lock to the home screen
first press and hold the hang-up button so that it locks. Then just push the power button once. This puts it in standby.
There is a idle timeout for going on standby mode, but I can't find a setting to auto-lock.

Are you paired to a Bluetooth device? I see similar behavior in my 8525 when in my car - the BT car kit does stuff which "wakes" the 8525

Try this leaving Google Maps On the Screen
Hi Guys,
I get this behavior when I have Google Maps running. It will even cycle the screen on and off a couple times.
nope and nope. just sitting on the today screen.

I have the very same problem.
However, my girlfriend whom I also bought a Tilt for, her's doesn't do it.
We've installed all the same software too, so I'm a little puzzled.
start>settings>system> key lock. set it to lock all buttons except power.

Hmmm.. yeah, umm my key lock is already set to lock all buttons except power.
The problem isn't with when you press a button it comes on. The problem is the phone turns on by itself, sitting on a table, nothing being pressed, no new email, no new sms, just lights up and that's it.

Any number of applications might be starting the device, from weather apps to calendar, diary, time sync etc etc. For example, HTCs weather app will do it depending on how often you have it set to another example I came across from someone was TREO ALERTS that contains a script "refresh.mscr" and it was set up refresh time 30 seconds (this was turning his TyTn II on by itself).
Mike
hard reset and try again.
i'm betting that none of these suggestions were helpful (except the one about some application generating a wakeup event without any other visual notifications).
i was having the same problem, but i just tried to narrow down which running program was causing the events. it's one of:
* wireless manager
* messaging
* IM
my guess is IM; i'm going to test that out in a second.
well, it's none of the above. still seems to wake up randomly anywhere from 15 seconds to several minutes.
seems to happen more frequently when it's just been turned off.
Even if you were to find what was turing the phone back on, this can still be a problem just from normal use... obviously, you WANT the phone to turn on for things like a call coming in. The solution for people like us who stick our phones in our pockets is to "lock" the phone. But for whatever reason, the Tilt doesn't lock the phone while holding down the end key. That means the only convenient way to lock it is to keep the lock function on the today screen, wasting space. Hopefully someone can find a way to allow the end key to lock the device on the Tilt just like the unbranded device.

i'm fine with using the lock function, but it still turns on randomly, using battery, and eventually unnecessarily yellowing the screen from backlight aging. my next approach is to check out the notification queue, using a notification cleaner app.
So i am having a similar problem. When i press the power button, the phone's screen turns off but when the keyboard slides, it turns back on... is there a way to make it so the keyboard sliding does not turn on the device? I think the keyboard slides around a little when in my pocket and i hate pushing 3 buttons to unlock my phone... thanks
I was having the same problem.
This is an issue with the ATT rom. Flash over HTC rom and you will be all set.
I have been having the same problem as well. I just installed this DeviceLock program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305402
If you enable the "Lock on Wake" option, the device will be locked when it wakes up, so the backlight stays off and you won't call anyone by accidentally hitting buttons.
Also, I ran across this related thread you might want to check out (basically talking about the same thing, but for the TyTn II):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341419
After several minutes of inactivity, my Tytn II powers off normally. When I want to use it again, I press the power button. This powers on my device, but it is locked. I need to press the left soft-key and press "unlock" before I can start using my device again.
Is there any way to disable this? I want to start using the device immediately after pressing the power button.
I think the power button is difficult to press as it is, so there is little chance it will be accidentally pressed in the pocket. So, if we set the key-lock to "lock all buttons except power button", it should be safe.
MY MISTAKE...
The culprit was the Battery Status plugin. There is an option to devicelock after wake-up that was checked. Maybe I accidentally checked it as I had this plugin before on my Xda2 then prophet and now the TyTn II and never experienced this before... Thot it was a "new feature" on the TyTn...
I read in the TYTN II wiki that if you hold down the End call button for a few seconds it will lock the screen for you. But it doesn't seem to do it on mine (Vodafone v1615 ROM). Do I need to do something else first to enable this?
I have an S710 too and it locks on that one no probs after holding down the end call key.
I have the Tilt. Holding the End Call button disconnects my data connection.
There are ROMs that have this feature. Dutty's is one of them. There is also an app in the ROM that lets you switch what holding "end" does. But the app does not seam to change anything. On Dutty's holding the "end" button locks the device.
Later, Lew
Wow! Never knew my phone did that! Niiiice!!!
Australian 3 ROM works....

What is the name of that app?
hi everyone!! i found that if i press some time the end call buttom, there are a few options that i could do, one of them is to lock the diamond... and i set long press the end call buttom to lock the device...
diamond locks when long press the end call buttom, but doesn't go sleep... is there anyway to put the power buttom to do the 2 things simultouneasly?? when you press the power buttom, it locks the device and put it to sleep! is anyway to do this??
I believe that when the device is in standby from pressing the power button all the other keys are locked with exception to the power button anyway? I know its not exactly what you're after but it seems a simpler solution than any others I can think of.
Some sort of script would do it, either MortScript of SKScheMa, to first lock the device (by launching Endkey.exe) and then power off.
Edit: There's also an auto keylock setting that I think locks the device anytime the power is off, maybe that's what you need?

Hi this is how I have always locked my diamond by pressing power off it locks and turns off the screen also, this is performed by a registry edit, using a registry editor and going to Hkey-current-user\controlpanel\backlight\autodevicelockenable and changing from 0 to 1, this will also auto lock everytime the backlight turns off so you may have to change back light off time
that should work.. but there isn't a simply way to put the power off key to do the lock of the pda and to switch off the lights??
isn't a way to do this??

Check these two threads... it looks like Armstrom's lock does the job.

Hi everyone,
I got a HTC Tytn 2 and i have a problem with it.
When i boot the phone it starts up and goes into windows like every windows mobile phone.
But when i press the standby button my screen wont go out of standby.
Only when i reset the phone it will work again.
Anyone got idea's ?
Oke, since no one responded.
Is there any way how i can make the Power Button replaced with the Speed Dial Button.
Because i think my power button is broke.

Have you at least tried backing up your data and doing a hard reset first ?
Yes, and i have also tried to put on a new rom and even updated the radio.
Iam a little bit out of idea's...
here are some more ideas:
1. how to test the power button: you say pressing the power button does not wake up the device once it goes to sleep. conversely, does pressing the power button put the device to sleep while the screen is on? if the power button is unable to make the device go off->on as well as on->off, then the power button is likely broken. if pressing the button achieves on->off, then the power button is probably ok and some software issue becomes more likely.
2. how to enable wake on pressing ANY hardware button: look for an option in Settings. i can't tell you the exact option because the ROM i am using does not have a link for this option, but this option does exist 100% in stock ROM and in lots of other ROMs. it contains settings like "Lock all buttons except power button" and "Keep all buttons unlocked" or something similar. by using the second option, pressing ANY hardware button while the screen is off will wake up the device.
3. you can use AE button plus to perform even more advanced button (re)mappings.
4. just to be sure that your device is really working correct, does the screen wake up when you call the phone or when you receive a text message? if it does not wake up even then, then search for "sleep of death".
Thanks for the response.
I think its a Service of Death problem.
Because when i try calling/smsing it, it wont go on
The buttons do work then...hopefully there's a fix for this problem...
Oke, i tried switching to 2G or 3G only but that didn't fix my Standby of Death.
I also bought a new sim card of vodafone so i wont get a No Sim error.
But what can i do now about it...it hangs like every 5 min...
Okay, after a will testing, the phone hangs every time its almost like when iam on the road with my tytn 2 and placing it upside down, it hangs.
But when iam putting it in the leather holder it doesn't hang.
Any had the same problems ?
