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.
I've been using the original AT&T rom on my Tilt for a while.
For new message notifications, I set it to make a sound only (ie. no message on screen or vibration etc).
With the old rom, whenever Blackberry Connect pushed new email to my phone, it would just make the sound and stay off.
Now with the new 1.62 rom, the phone turns on with every new message.
I have installed all the same apps, the notification settings are the same (even the sound file) - so I have no idea if this is a "new feature" in the rom or not.
I usually keep my backlight on max with a 3-4min switch off but now with it switching on intermittently, I've had to keep it on min backlight and 30sec switch off - and it still drains my battery life before the end of the day!
Anyone else seeing this problem? I tried searching the Kaiser forums and found nobody reporting the same problem.
On a positive note, the new rom seems to have stabilized the phone. With BBC on previous rom, I had quite a few of the "phone freeze" problems daily. So far after the first day - no freezing... did I just trade-off one problem for another (albeit less critical)?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
I don't think it's a new feature, because I haven't had that happen with mine. I hate to suggest a hard reset, but that may be your best solution...I'm not using blackberry connect, that may be the cause of the problem.
thanks snooginsguy for the response.
Well when the rom was upgraded that effectively hard reset my system. I just reinstalled my apps from scratch yesterday - so I'm guessing hard resetting again and repeating the reinstall probably won't fix things.
What's weird is using Blackberry connect on the old rom didn't do this previously. Anyone else with BBC on the new AT&T rom experiencing this phenomena?

Yes, I am. It used to be that the screen would come on for 5 secs. and then turn back on after an email was received. Now it just turns ON until I turn it OFF. I'm going back to one of the WM6.1 ROMs today, but not because of this.
I'm having this issue as well.
It's also happening with BBC & some of the leaked WM 6.1 ROMS.
I 'solved' it by installing S2U2 on the phone, since it keeps the phone locked & turns the screen back off after 30 seconds.
I'm having the same problem... upgraded and now every time an email comes in the screen turns on.. .sucks... someone find a fix.. please..
If you run phoneAlarm from pocket max...there is a setting under the advanced settings which automatically turns off the phone (hibernates it) after a system notification...and saves loads of battery power.
I don't run BB connect on my Tilt, but I bet that this would do the trick.
I've got the exact same problem. It's killing my battery. I may try turning back on the horrendous BlackBerry Lock application, which pretty much locks up the UI (and in many cases blocks notifications that I DO want to hear). The lock application also caused my Tilt to grind to a halt about 50% of the time, so I had to soft reset just to make a phone call. I'll look into some of the add-on apps mentioned here as well.
What's sad is that no one supports BlackBerry Connect. I contact HTC with a different issue, and they said "We only support BlackBerry Connect on the Tilt", to which I obviously replied "Uh, I have a Tilt, so why can't you help me?". They then came back with, "You need to contact RIM, who created the application". If you go to RIM's website, there is no way to contact them unless you have a support contract. Anyone know of a way to report bugs with this app?
I'll post anything I find that fixes this. It's annoying having to keep my Tilt hooked up to my PC all day long so my battery doesn't die at noon.

Can anyone confirm if this phenomenon may be specific to BBC 4.0.0.97? I don't use 1.62 but do use BBC 4.0.0.97 and see this happen. It didn't happen until I 'upgraded'. Coincidence or not?
I cannot remember which one, but I did experience this with a rom awhile ago. But my rom now does not do this with email messages...it only does that with blocked phone calls when I use magicall. So to counter this I have installed slide2unlock so that it comes on for only a few seconds and then cuts off again. I do not use BBC btw and my rom is Sleuths 6.1
Ok - great - I guess I'm not the only one having this happen. This last week I've been repeatedly getting the "battery is low" warning before 6pm - which is inconvenient since I'd like a phone to last a full day w/o having to charge it.
With the previous rom, I never had to charge it midstream - and I've had this phone since it came out on AT&T last year.
Regarding Deltaflyer's question about whether he thinks it's BBC .097 - that could very well be the case - especially if other folks not using the BBC are also not experiencing the problem.
I'll see if I can try uninstalling .097 and reverting to the old one (I think I have it saved somewhere) next week...
Fix for phone switching on
I have the same problem too. I use activesync to sync over the internet to my Exchange server. In Sounds and Notification, if I uncheck the "Events(warnings, system events). My screen doesn't light up anymore. Hope this helps!
I confirm : switching back from bbc 4.0.0.97 to .92 stops waking up the device when receiving a mail.
At least will save my battery
I'm on scap's Rom

thanks for the suggestion sanguy888.
That's typically one of the first things I do when I setup my phone. Only in this case, it did not resolve the issue.
Sounds like ben5757 has confirmed it's the bbc update.
ben5757 - would you give us an update in a few days - please to let us know how .92 is working with scap's rom? Anything freezing?
Thanks in advance!
I'm on a Tytn II, operated by SFR (France), Schap's ROM 4.31, BBC connected to a BES server.
Had installed BBC 4.0.0.97, but each email wakes the device fromsleeping mode, and consumes battery much too fast (more than 60 mails per day...).
Have uninstalled .97 and installed .92. Works without any problem since 2 days, and device remains in sleeping mode even when receiving pushmail.

Can you point me in the direction of .92? I have .97 installed and the waking up every time an email arrives is driving me nuts. Only other version I have is .84. Thanks.

Wanted to thank ben5757 for all his support.
With the AT&T rom 1.62 & BBC .92 - my Tilt no longer switches on after each email. So far after a day's worth of email pushing - about 75 emails, I have experienced no freezing issues and battery life is back to my original Tilt days (which was only needing to charge nightly).
Talk about a win-win situation!!!
I'll see how long I can keep the device running w/o a soft reset!
The best thing was I didn't need to hard reset to downgrade to BBC .92. Just had to uninstall .97, then install .92 (after a soft reset). Also had to tell my corporate IT that I had to reactivate my corporate BB account. I was back up and running in less than 15mins!

Thanks. Worked like a charm switching to .92.
Please forgive me if this is being discussed elsewhere, but I skimmed through the Kaiser forum, and I didn't see anyone else mentioning this problem. My phone automatically reset the clock for DST yesterday, and looking through the calendar today all the appointments are an hour off. For example, my work schedule. On the day summary page it says I work 07:30 - 21:00 today, however when you click edit appointment it says 06:30 - 20:00. On Wednesday I have jury duty. On the day page it says that jury duty starts at 10:30, however it really starts at 9:30, and if I show up an hour late I am in contempt of court!
Is there a setting I am not aware of? When I click edit appointment it shows the correct time, but on the day page its an hour late. The thing that really bothers me is that since I have an erratic schedule at work I have it set to remind me an hour before, just in case I forget to set my alarm clock the night before. Today I got my 1 hour reminder while actually driving to work!
I am using the new Tilt ROM, details are in my signature.
Thanks, Jay
Update: I've been on the phone with AT&T tech support for 30 minutes now, and it still doesn't work right ...

If you are saying the Today Screen Calendar is off by an hour, but the calendar inside the pda is ok; A soft reset should fix your issue.
We had a couple of Hermes and kaiser's with this issue yesterday.
Try the attached cab
Ok, I 've been transferred to HTC support from ATT, which is nice, I didn't have to call them myself, and the ATT rep explained my problem to them. There is a hotfix of this issue, I haven't tried it yet, but I figured I'd share. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949168

WOW! Mine is too!
Didn't even notice.
All my calendar events were changed from 8am start to 9am start.
What the heck?!
Yeah, it's stupid daylight savings time. You have to download a patch from microsoft to fix it, can do it straight to the phone by going to www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile and hit the Update option. I don't really understand why it couldn't just be automatically sent thru the Windows Update option under Settings...talk about a frustrating issue though!
now the question is will it work with 6.1
I saw this coming days ahead because of my scheduling :S...
Anyways, what fixed for me was just fixing the time on my Kaiser, all but one (?) appointments switched back to the original time automatically. No extra cabs or tweaks.
Good luck with that.
I've tried running that patch, and after installing the cab, it resets the Tilt, and then when it comes back everything is still the same. I've tried switching to a different timezone, and then back (per the advice in the another thread) to no avail.
Jimmyv - what do you mean you "fixed" the time?
Jay, please keep us updated as to what you're finding out.

I tried resetting the clock, but the appointments were not effected. I just got back from lunch, I'm going to try the cab now.

Keep in mind this is not, nor should it be considered, a permanent fix. I don't know what long-term problems this could cause, but I'll tell you how I got it to work for me.
1. (Not sure if this is needed, because it didn't seem to change anything) Install the 2008 DST update from Microsoft.
2. Make sure all your appointments are still set to their original times (As in, you didn't change the original hour so that it'd remind you with it's skewed view of reality )
2a. (You may not have to do this) Under the Phone options dialog (Settings -> Personal -> Phone), go to the 'Time Zones' tab, and uncheck 'Automatic change time zone and clock'.
3. Go to the clock settings dialog (Settings -> System -> Clock & Alarms) Set the time zone to the one an hour behind you (-6 to -7 is what I did)
4. Set the time, manually, an hour ahead. (In the system clock dialog, there are two options for time: Time zone, and time. Set the time zone an hour behind, then set the actual time an hour ahead.)
5. Enjoy. Your appointments should now be okay.
I do hope someone figures out what's really causing this, though, because I'm not keen on changing the time zone every time DST comes into effect.

Your time is pulled off the network. I don't see how this could cause a problem.
YEa... had this problem myself. Figured it was a good time to hard reset and reinstall since I had a crapload of stuff I didn't use anymore.

A hard reset wouldn't be bad, but I really don't want to re-enter all of my appointments. Otherwise I could fix it by just deleting all the appointments and re-entering them.

I think the problem is that 2 things are trying to do the same thing. The network is trying to adjust for DST and windows is trying to do it too. I wish there was a way to just turn off DST and let the phone manage the time.

I just had a brainstorm! I'm in the eastern time zone. (GMT -5) Indiana does not participate in DST. I switched my time zone to GMT-5 Indiana, and all my appointments are correct now. I'm leaving autoupdate time on the phone, so this should take care of itself, and the phone will manage the time changes.
-Jay
I just realized you do have to turn autoupdate time off to use my earlier method. Futhermore, due to the same problem, I'm not sure you're new method will work forever. The reason I had to turn autoupdate time off was because the network told my phone it was -not- in the -7 time zone. I think, after a little bit of time, it will tell you're phone it's not in Indiana and you'll be stuck with the same problem all over again. x.x I'm going to look at the registry for the clock/calendar integration and see if I can't find some hidden setting that'll stop the clock from messing with the appointments. I'm pretty new to this though, so don't bet on my finding something that'll work. Any help from someone smarter would be very much appreciated. ;D
Edit: Sadly, the only thing I could find that looks anywhere close to something in relation to this is the value TimeZoneInformation in HKLM\Time. I can't figure out how I'm supposed to edit that so that changing the time zone doesn't touch the appointments, though. I'm not even convinced it's possible. Anyone else know any registry values that might relate to this problem? I'm going to try and decompile the MS patch next to see if I can find any hints with what they did.. Even if it didn't work.
Its not letting me receive any calls. Because by the time I press "Accept" it becomes unresponsive for like a couple of mins and the call has already ended.
Its taking forever to load any apps too. It takes forever to open the Programs folder or the Settings folder. Everything takes like a min on the phone now.
I don't know what has caused this. It was working fine yesterday. I haven't installed any new apps either.
I have the HTC stock ROM downloaded from this website. I've had it installed for a few months now without a problem.
Can someone please help me in understanding whats causing this?
I've restarted the phone a few times now. The boot time is around 15 mins for some reason. It stays at the Window Mobile 6 screen for 15 mins before starting up.
Hard reset anyone?
Is that the only solution?
I'm sick of this and slowing turning anti-windows.
Some times things need to be refreshed. Don't be scared, it will be ok.

Have you, by chance, been experimenting with network folders? I saw something similar with the file explorer, after I had connected to a network drive at home. It was trying to reconnect while I was away from the home network.
You should expect it from any electronic device like this. Maybe not 100% of the time and not 100% of them, but things like this do happen. There are too many things trying to live in harmony and not step on each others feet for there to never be a problem.
Do a hard reset and see what happens. If it doesn't solve your problem then it's time to look into a warranty claim. If you can use the phone, just backup your numbers and then reset. It's really easy and doesn't take much time to get things back to normal.

I didn't touch any of the system folders. In fact, nothing was done to the phone since yesterday except send/receive phone calls and play Solitaire.
If you don't reset it then don't complain.

I've done this (hard reset) before and I have every right to complain. Not trying to be a troll, but sometimes I feel I should've bought an iP***e instead.
Right now I'm trying to take a backup of my files on the Storage card, but Total Commander is unresponsive (trying to copy 5 files for the past 30 mins).
I know I'll eventually hard reset this thing, but I'm just pissed right now.
So you don't think people have to hard reset their iphones? I laugh in your general direction.
If you can't make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or access email or the web
Check the cell signal indicator in the status bar at the top of the screen. If there are no bars, or if it says "No service," try moving to a different location. If you're indoors, try going outdoors or moving closer to a window.
Check to make sure you’re in an area with network coverage. Go to your carrier's website to see network coverage areas.
Make sure airplane mode isn't on. From the Home screen choose Settings, then turn Airplane Mode off.
If that doesn't work, turn airplane mode on, wait 15 seconds, then turn airplane mode off again.
Make sure to include an area code for every phone number in your contacts list that you use to send or receive text messages.
If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: If you enter the SIM PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with your wireless service. Call your carrier or go to your carrier's website.
If that doesn't work, restore the iPhone software. See this document or see "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software" in the iPhone User's Guide.

Come on now. You know what I meant. I wasn't trying to imply that at all. I was just venting. Sorry if it offended anyone.
is it possible that its just having trouble reading the sd card (if you have one?) maybe the file system is becoming corrupt on the card and its constantly trying to read it?..

I thought about this. I tried using the phone without the SD card. But the behavious was the same. Currently I'm hard resetting it
So how did it go?
Just finished hard resetting it. The phone works now. Fortunately I had an export of my contacts in an XML file (using a .NET utility that I wrote.) Unfortunately, I haven't written the import part of the utility yet
The phone works, but my docs and pics are gone. The SD card works fine. Thanks for your help guys.
Outlook works nice for backing up contacts and there is also a program you run from your phone that does the same thing. I think it's PIM backup
use cleartemp from now on to clear unneeded items on every start up
it is pim back up
its the BEST

More junk to cause this sort of problem.
I will enter a date or appointment and with in a few minutes it is gone! This has happened several-MANY times, even after I have removed the battery, and sim turned the phone on and off..Have any of you had this problem and how to correct it? Thank you,
Are you syncing with another application? Which?
Do you have bluetoothe syncing enabled - and - is it active in your calendar sync?
Does it happen randomly or only when you enter a date or appointment?
Has this happenned from when you first bought your device - or - did it begin after an update or an additional application addition?
Peace-

My apts are always entered as corp. apts for my corp exchange account. This acct is set to sync every 15 minutes during the day. This is how I keep track of my time and post it to my server for accounting and billing. This didnt start happening until I had had the phone for about 2 months. Now it occurs randomly. My sync is via wiFi or At&t data link. I dont use Blue tooth. Things will work fine for several days then one day decide not to for a while. I had sat there and entered a service call 3 and 4 times only to watch it dissappear within 5 minutes. Turning the phone off, taking the battery out might fit it or might not. Then it will start working again. The next day it will work for sure. Phone has been replaced once with the same problems. I have very few apps as this is mostly a phone and time keeping tool for me.
Thank you for your help
