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.

Wow! Never knew my phone did that! Niiiice!!!
Australian 3 ROM works....

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.
I have experienced several times when carrying the diamond in my trouser pockets that it starts calling the latest caller 'automatically'. It is due to the fact that the diamond switches on after 'accidently' pressing the dial button. It then gets into dialing mode and pressing it again will start the re-dial.
Is there a way to prevent the diamond from switching on by pressing the dial or home key? I would like to be able only switching it on via the real power button. I don't like the standard locking method of the phone itself.
Any idea? maybe I didn't search well enough in the forums but it seems to be a hard thing to find.
S2U2 is one solution.

Mine doesn't do this. If the screen is off then only the power button will bring it back on. Unless I've misunderstood your problem?
Check in Start > Settings > Key lock if 'Lock all buttons except power button' is ticked. Is yours?

Indeed, I completely overlooked that setting! Quite stupid though.
Thanks a lot! Just what I needed!
Easily done, particularly with settings strewn all over the place!
I have done a search, and can't find anyone else with this problem. I am using Dutty's Diamond v1. If the backlight goes off, or if you hit the power button, the call gets put on hold. You have to hit the power button to activate the call again. I used to be able tp push the power button, and the backlight would go off. Now, if I hit the power button (on a call), the backlight switches off for a second, then comes back on with the call on hold.
I have tried hard resetting the device and even tried another rom. The problems persists. Any ideas?

Just curious if youve tried another rom as well as another radio.....
Funny you should ask.LOL. I thought it could have been the reason, so I loaded "L26KDTLB6" with radio 1.71.09.01. I even tried changing the spl, but it still does this.
I have the same problem. I don't suppose you found a solution?
I don't know if it's just the rom i'm using but i've noticed that 80% of times when I press the power button to take my phone out of sleep, it turns on and then goes off about half a second later, and I have to press it again to keep it on.. is this a known bug?
It's not just you
I've been seeing the same behavior with mine, and I'm running the stock ROM.
Same issue here ever since flashing stock WM 6.1 ROM.
You all are not alone...
I couldn't find the thread after a quick search, but this is a known issue of the phone, not the customized roms. About 5 or 6 months ago, i read a post saying that HTC was trying to figure out a solution. Perhaps someone will post a better reply than mine.
I have this exact same issue.... I am using the stock 6.0 rom still (don't laugh)... It also does it when I receive a TXT message (and it is sleeping) and anything else that would normally power it on from sleep mode... I am glad to see that I am not the only one experiancing this....
My phone did not always do this... but has been for quite some time.... If I am not mistaken, it was after one of my "ravamps" of the phone... more specifically, I applied a reg edit so I coudl reprogram the PTT button... Any of the rest of you do this? I changed the PTT so on a short push it does Voice command, and long press it loads TomTom (in my mind, PTT is a french button "Pour TomTom" lol).. Anyways... Let me know folks
Stock ROM. Same problem.
I think the problem is in "device lock" plugin on today screen.
After I disabled that plugin and stopped using it- it stopped to flash the screen.
Is it the same with other devices?
I've never used the device lock today plugin and I have always had this issue. 6.1 stock rom.
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
