When I first got my Tilt, I was able to turn the phone off after I started music playing on Windows Media and continue to listen. However, since a few days ago, the music would stop after I press the power button. I don't know what caused that change. I even tried to restore a backup from last week but that didn't fix it. Anyone out there has this problem?

Don't you have to map a button to turn the screen off?
Not just the dimming screen, I was able to press the power button to put the phone to sleep and continue to listen to music. This way the power consumtion is MUCH lower.

Power button will put the phone in sleep mode. You have to assign a button to toggle the screen on/off. Go into Options and assign a button to do this and it will work. It works for me.

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 ?

Maybe it's hardware and something is coming loose
Hi all,
I have got a Tytn II running on AthineOS Lite Rom,
I just wonder if it is possible to set the behaviour of the power button.
As original shipped rom, pressing power button turns into standby mode, which music players continue to work.
However,when I use this rom, whenever I try to turn the screen off + locking the keys by pressing the power button, music player just stops working.
Same to Resco Audio Recorder... When i press the power button to turn my screen off, recording would stop too
I tried Backlight Off programmes, however keys wont lock at the same time.
and I wonder if there is a way, like Reg modification to change how power button works.
Many thanks =]

try using AE Button Plus to replace the function button on the device
Thanks for quick responce
I am trying the little tool
however, I just manage to map a key to switch screen turning backlights off,
or lock device,
but I cant figure out how can I turn off the screen at the same time hardware keys are locked (just as how power button acts except keeping programs running while screen off)
Please advice, and thanks again mate =]
so my power button is gone on my htc touch with android. i need to poke the small button inside with a penpoint or small object.
is there a way to re-map the button or another way to turn the phone on from sleep?
My power button is working but I have same concern. Developers, why don't use D-pad key for home/back etc functions? power/camera buttons are very critical because without them you may even have difficulty to enter bootload mode.
Atools will let you remap the keys
Thanks!. I have created an update that set Vogue D-pad as:
Left: Back
Center: Home
Right: Menu
Working perfect on my SuperFroyo.

I've used Atools to remap wake up to other keys but, it only works if i press those keys after receiving a notification.
have you been successful in waking up the phone from sleep without having to press the power button? are there additional settings i need to change?
I also have the same problem - my power button stopped working this afternoon for some reason and I cant wake up my phone except by calling it from another line or restarting it - any idea how i can change the wake up key? from what i gather, the atools fix isn't working?
Exact. Same. Problem. Using Incubus RLS16 (no audio input either... grrr...)
I remapped the power button and it will turn on but only under these conditions:
Phone just went into sleep, after a few minutes no response.
If it's plugged in.
Which makes me wonder... are there two different sleep modes? ie: light sleep which lasts for a few minutes when unplugged, and a deep sleep which kicks in after that, or never, when plugged in.
I only need to wait a few more weeks for my upgrade, but I want to be productive now!
Anyone have a solution to the phone not waking up problem - Ive realized its not my power button..
Is there a way to disable the force reboot when pressing the power off button for a long time? I can disable the power off buttons function for click and long press, but if i press long enough the phone reboots .. I want to use this phone as my alarm with another app and i don't want to be able to turn off the phone at all. The only thing that should be able to turn it off should be the battery..
Is there a way to achieve this?

connect a speaker to it and place it somewhere you need a stair to reach.
I think this long-press reboot is hardcoded into somewhere in the phone, it isn't an Android thing.
You can long-press reboot even before Android fires up.

The long press power forced reboot is in kernel space...
Xposed does not adjust that...
My phone froze last night while listening to music, the music was still playing but the screen was unresponsive. So out of habit I shut down the phone because when I hold the power button the turn off option still happens. I restart my phone and the startup animation shows and after that the screen goes back to black. I have tried a force start using the power and volume button but I'm not completely aware of all of the specific options to do with that. I have a pebble that allows me to control some aspects of my phone over bluetooth and I still get emails and can turn on music with the pebble.

sounds liek a SystemUI crash. if youre stock, you may want to consider factory resetting. if rooted and rommed, I'd reflash your ROM
