My Stellar (Kaiser) powers off after about 10 seconds whilst on a call. The backlight setting is for 2 mins. I can't find a setting for it anywhere.
Any ideas ?
TIA, Davebo.
There is a setting in KaiserTweak (do a quick search, if you don´t have it already) that prolongs the backlight period - although not indefinitely.......

SEARCH is your buddy! Search for KaiserTweak. You have to disable Sleep and FastSleep options.
or move the jogwheel to wake-up the device
Ah ha!
Thanks very much. I think a combination of both approaches should cover all my bases.
Thanks again, DBo.

Hi, I have discovered that Direct Push e-mail is causing the wizard to power on at certain intervals and for me at least was causing significant power drains under crossbow. Here are 2 fixes.
1. This is for those that use an exchange server and/or direct push email.
-Locking the device stops the wizard powering on and still allows use of direct push email.
2. Those that don't wish to lock their device and don't use direct push email.
-Change the following Registry values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\
HeartbeatIncrement DWORD: 0
InitialHeartbeat DWORD: 0
MinHeartbeat DWORD: 0
MaxHeartbeat DWORD: 0
Reset
Hopefully this will work for you guys it did for me, no power on all night.
EDIT: Sorry after longer testing No. 2 appears not to work however I still think it has something to do with Activesync and Direct Push E-mail. The settings reset themselves after soft reset.
It works!
Confirmed. Locking the device via the Today screen plug-in prevents the undesired power ups.
I am using a small program called Device Lock with the Suspend option. I set Button 4(Hold) to Device Lock. Sometimes it wakes up immediately after suspending, but I can press the power button and it stays off.

I discovered this yesterday also.
He means using the today screen plugin to lock it, not just having buttons locked except power in case you weren't aware of that.
No wonder I never had this problem. I use batterystatus to lock my screen all the time. Isn't the lock nice? Very convinent. My only hope is if there is anyway to unlock it with one hard button.
Oh. I was using the Lock in the control panel set to lock after 0 minutes of idle so when I pressed power it would power down and lock.
I'll have to find a better way to lock.
it didnt work....

using the batterystatus, not the lock in the control panel.
i meant the regedits, it didnt fix the problem...i dont like to lock my phone when not in my pocket...
i hit the lock button on the today screen and i watch it turn on and off every minute... still... it didn't help ...
I wonder how did faria fix it in his ROM.
any update? wokring solution ?
Faria has the only known solution to this but is refusing to share that knowledge by looks of things, maybe so he can forces users to use his own cooked ROM or something...
the only working solution i have seen was the one rusigor suggested and that was taking the device password off. and im believer because it worked for me. so im sticking with that. Also i noticed that my battery is lasting like alot lot lot lot lot lot lot longer now. before i would go to bed with the phone at 80% battery and when i would wake up it would be like at 30. The last couple nights i would go to bed with it at 59 and woke up and it was at 55. I was shocked. so thats why im sticking with this method.

I will if no one has yet.

Sorry meant to update this, fix has been around for a little while now.
Untick Turn off backlight for both battery and mains power and this will cure the problem however you may still have automatic power offs.
I don't use push, nor do I have an Exchange server configured. I also had a problem with automatic power-ups. I found that having the device configured to display the owner info screen when it is switched on caused it to power up on its own shortly after it was switched off.
Getting rid of the owner info display on power-up did the trick for me.
I'd love to know how those two things are connected.
I found a solution for me
I also think is more related with the screen light as I used the WM6 MB and i put the screen auto off after 30 sec, and it was waking up very frequently. I completly removed the screen light auto off and now my phone never wakes up alone (just when it should be =D).
Hope it helps!
Hi guys,
I've been reading throught the forums and cant find any posts on this so if I've missed them I do apologise...
1) when in a phone call, after about 30 secs the screen completely switches off, this is very frustrating when speaking to a call centre because I can't choose a number, the only way to wake it up is to press the call answer button again (muting the call) and then pressing it again so that I can hear again, I've checked my settings and changed the backlight and the power off to 3 mins but it still happens after 30 secs approx.... any thoughts?
2) I have iGo Sat Nav 2006 which worked perfectly on my TYTN on a bluetooth gps receiver, now on the TYTN II it can't find the internal GPS receiver, am I supposed to map the receiver to a virtual com port or something?
Thanks for your time guys.
Terry
I think the Kaiser Twaeks utility in the forum sticky ahs an option for this, but if you want the specifics, try searching as I think it is just a registry setting.
I think the GPS is set up to use COM4, but I am not much help bsdies this. Searching should also get you some answers for this.
thanks, I'll take another look.
Actually... I have one other small problem that I've just noticed...
if you choose to lock all buttons except the power button the phone still switches itself on if you nudge the keyboard slider!
is there a way to turn that off?
thanks guys
Terry
As jgermuga said,
Kaiser Tweaks will solve your screen and power issues.
The internal GPS handler is on COM4 4800Bd, you should be able to configure this within your Mapping App.
Hi guys,
I just saw the screen disable function when I downloaded the Kaiser Tweak... sorry for posting guys...
Thanks for the info on the GPS, I'll give it a try later.
Cheers

I've just seen what I did wrong... I went into External GPS (thinking that this was a confliction) and changed the COM port to say "None", I have fixed it now.
I cant believe how dumb I've been lately... this phone is now fantastic, shame I was too stupid to realise! lol
Thanks guys for all your help... I'll wake up later

The workaround for this one is to rotate the volume dial...
Does anybody experience a lag when using iGO on the tilt? It seems that it lags to move when you do and when you make a turn, it doesn't make it till a few secs later?
Another way to power the screen back on after the 30 second automatic power-off occurs is to ummm... press the power button
I have a T-Mob MDA Var 3. When i make a call on battery power the backlight doesn't stay on. annoyingly, the only way to turn it on during a call is to hit the power button.
This seems silly as I might want to place someone on hold or start a conference, etc. I have set the backlight defaults not to turn off on external or battery power.
Does anyone know how how I can stop the backlight turning off during calls?
Thanks
Disable fast sleep and sleep ...
Use KaiserTweak below:

Thanks for the quick reply - i will try that!
Not another lazy noob....
I've tried Kaiser Tweak, and verified the registry settings. I've used google, the XDA Forum and the XDA Wiki. Still, my backlight/call end problem persists. My ROM is the most current version.
Can anyone help? I really like the Kaiser, but this problem makes it all but unusable.
Thanks,

did you soft reset?
Yes....I've run Tweak and soft reset numerous times.
Thanks for checking. I'm not sure I haven't missed something.

Mine does this. very anoying especially when calling voicemail or an automated call system where you have to press keypad numbers. Have to keep turning the phone on to press the keypad.
My tilt's EDGE and 3G connection automatically turn on, sometimes when i wake up, it's on for 9 hours, why is that? and i can't find a way to fix it. And when i put the tilt away for a few min, the screen will automatically shut down to save on energy, and i will have to press the POWER button once to have the screen back up. Can we change this setting? it is not very handy. thanks for the help. i am a noob.

I had the same problem,
Disabled push email.
Problem went away.
I have a similar problem. Is there a way to see what application is opening the data connection. I had email set to download once a day, so it was not my email. Can't think what else it may be...
Hi,
I have enabled my device to auto lock when the power button is used. But a side effect of this seems to be that sometime the device auto locks itself after 1 min when the screen is still active.
I have searched the device (and this forum) but the locatrion of the setting for adjusting the autolock time has eluded me.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction before i go insane
Hi where did you set up auto lock with power button using. I can't find out this option. Thanks

Settings / System / Power / Advance tab - I believe what is happening is the phone is set to turn off after 1 minute, though when the lock is set it locks after the first minute then turns off a minute later. this is just a guess.

Hi, harolds thanks for your quick reply, but I've thought auto locking without password. Something like autolock when backlight is turned off.

Hi, thanx for reply. I know that tweak, it works with backlight and in my D2 it sometimes works strangely. I hoped you wrote about tweak which works when you push power buton only.
