Serious Bug: Device password freezes start menu after phone call

I have now done several test and have found what I believe is a serious bug in the ROM, making the Kaiser virtually useless for business users.
When the device is protected by a password (Start/Settings/Lock), the start menu freezes after ending phone calls. In addition, the backlight turns off.
This only happens if the phone call is long enough (more than a few secs) for the display to turn off during the call. This is to prevent accidental button presses. When the phone call is ended the display should come back up, however, this is where bug seems to manifest itself. Somehow the password protection gets in the way and turns the display off and freezes the start menu.
The reason why this is serious (especially for business users) is that when you use MS exchange sync, many businesses enforce policies requiring a device password (common & recommended practice). This means that the option of turning the device password off does not exist. Therefore, using exchange sync (with security policies enforced) and making phone calls does not work.
I have now made several hard resets and used two different SIM cards. However, I was not able to try this on adifferent device. Therefore, I would be grateful if somebody could try if they experience the same issue. Disabling the device password fixes this, so you won't be stuck if you try.
I will return my device tomorrow for a full refund, unless the store can show that this problem is specific to my device and that a replacement unit works properly.
Many thanks for any help!
Cheers

what rom are you using? I have not seen this problem at all on the various AT&T ROMs.

I am using the official & released HTC TyTN II ROM on a device branded as such. Got the device on Tuesday as official retail unit, so it is not pre-production or beta.
Interesting to hear it works on the ATT ROM. HTC must have messed it up. Maybe it is just my device.
Thanks for the info.

Ok, there is a workaround now that I can live with for the moment. All you have to do is to toggle the power off and on when it hangs and it is all back to normal. Not too bad.
Hope they fix it though...

Same error for me!
Hi Magxs
I cannot tell you how pleased I was to find that someone else has experiencing the same problem! I have _exactly_ the same issue. Like, you, I use the phone for business use so there is absolutely no way I can use it without a device pin (well done on discovering that by the way). As you mention in your last post, switching it on & off fixes the issue but it's a bit of a pain.
HTC have got a good reputation on getting fixes out quickly so let's hope that'll be the case here.
Ben

Always good to know you are not alone with a problem. I also have a thread about this over at MoDaCo: http://www.modaco.com/Bug-Device-password-fre-t258974.html
The issue is getting some attention now. Just hope it is enough for them to do something about it.

Hi
I have built a small application that will hopefully resolve this problem, it is over on the thread at: http://www.modaco.com/Bug-Device-password-fre-t258974.html
The problem with the Kaiser seems to be because on a call when it has a password set it's entering an "idle" mode rather than just turning off the backlight. Idle mode is something normally not used on PocketPCs. Once in idle mode it responds to key presses etc but doesn't leave "idle mode" so it appears frozen or in an odd state as nothing lights up!
Regards
Phil

I experienced even more issues!
Please can you share with me if you have found more complete solutions?
I experience "freezing" after long calls, same as you.
But also when replying to SMSs
Even when the device is not used for some minutes: first backlight goes off or almost off, then the start button (software and hardware buttons) become not responsive:solution? Soft reset! or wait 25 secs
Please help

Problem is widespread
I too have this exact same problem. If the phone screen goes off during the call, the end button will lock the screen. Have you noticed that pressing and holding the end button puts a screen lock on the device?. Never seen this in any other device. Normally holding the end button cancels the Data (HSDPA, GPRS etc) connection. I will try the solution and see how I go.
This is just one of a number of problems. I also find the phone goes in "Roaming" mode even when connected to my own provider, and there are annoying problems with calendar synching. Gr8 device...but!

KaiserCallEndFix.exe needed
I cannot log in to Modaco. Even after registration, no validation email sent to me. Can any friend here post the fix for TyTN II ( KaiserCallEndFix.exe) here, so I can download it!
Thank!

This has gone rather quiet, I'm using the Reg edit listed earlier that forces screen to stay on during call but it's not ideal.
Anyone else solved it besides the button press workaround or Phil's Exe file?

I also suffering a different side effect from this problem.
I choose to deactivate the lock function to avoid the on-off procedure after the end of everycall. But every 1-2 days my device stops working because it starts asking for the lock (even though the lock function is disabled!!!!!!).
If I soft reset the device the problem disappears. Does anybody also have this problem?
Is there any news on when HTC will definitely solve this issue?

this problem stilll exists. thought it was just me. Just got 2 phones from orange - complained tothem about this bug & they sent 1 replacement phone. even though I told them it was a software issue. new phone arrived and problem is still there . Orange have escalated the issue to their technical people. I await their response. I also spoke with HTC technical support in the UK who claimed not to be aware of this issue. One thing they did agree with was that if youhave a pin , when asked to input the numbers upon switching on the device , the screen goes half dimmed so you cant see properly what you are tapping in. no mention of a fix anytime soon though. lets hope HTC do sort this out an drelease a fix because I do really like this device.
great forum btw

My phone has had this issue since I got it back in Feb/Mar 08, i just hit the power button on/off and dealt with it. I'm suprised this thread is months only and HTC hasnt fixed it yet. Why are they so slow to fix issues?

omg, thanks god that i am not going crazy,
ive been using a mda vario 3 on t-mobile,
since dec 2008, got the same freezing problem...
hoping for a update to be released by htc etc, then got a replacement phone after 6months, and still same problem.
i just spoke to the technical dept and he doesnt know any problems with this,
thanks for the insight on how it occurs.
so now im gna have a serious complaint abt this, to t-mobile.
and get htc to sort it out.
heheh

TyTn II Changes

I figured someone might know of a way to change the few little things that annoy me with my TyTn II. Ive had it for a while and pretty much only use it as a phone, now I have more free time to play around with it, and searching through threads & accroynms I'm starting to figure out what everyone it talking about.
Here are the few things that but me.
After a call screen locking bug - but I found a thread and fix for it, sad that HTC still hasnt fixed it though.
SMS sent notification - I seriously wish it wouldnt tell me the message has been sent and I can hit dismiss or doing something else and it goes away, but it still pops up and gets in the way.
New SMS - most phones you can click a button to stop the vibration or sound, I dont like how it vibrates non stop for a very long time and or I have to wait for the sounds to finish it, I cant cancel it by click the phone end button or any button for that matter. I have a sound that is kind of long, its funny, but I dont always want to listen to it all the way through.
Anyone know of registery fixes or programs/patches please let me know! Thanks

Try this to disable the SMS Sent notifications
can be uninstalled via remove programs too if you want them back
let me know if it works (it works for me on my hermes)

Thanks I'll try tonight when I get back home.
Also I wonder if its a setting, but FF at home and IE7 at work, when I try to click on quick reply and try to click any of the icons, it wont active, I normally have to click on quote to be able to reply, I didnt think it was a setting in my user CP, and two different PC/Browsers wasnt sure what the problem is.

Um.. why not just download KAISER TWEAK. It has all those annoying options in there so you can tweak them yourself. Do a search for it.

Kaisertweek does fix most of the issues you are talking about and you don't even need to search, all you have to do is LOOK at the first page of the Kasier general forum, it is one of the stickies on the first page.
Good luck with your Kaiser

Ok this fixed most of my issues. I got to check out something else tomorrow and see if I'm still having the problem.

[email protected]#[email protected]@#%!!

Loving the Diamond... but big issues have come up and they are starting to make it difficult to really use the device. I am trying to determine if the issues I am having are brought on by myself or if the issues are related to some challenge with the phone or my carrier.
"What's the issue," you ask?
The Diamond will not pick up a call. The phone will ring, the caller display will come up, I'll try and pick it up by either pushing the onscreen command or pick it up via the pick-up button... nothing. The call rings through to voicemail. Meanwhile I have to call the person back who just called me. Massively irritating and even more irritating it's does actually pick up SOMETIMES. The problem is I cannot determine why it works sometimes and why it does not. 90% of the time it does not work. When I do get it to work all I need to do is activate my bluetooth headset and then turn it back off and we are back in the same situation where the phone will not answer, however, this time... the phone does not RING either! Yes that's right - all sounds go bye bye on the phone when I activate BT and then turn it off. Also, I cannot pick up the phone with bluetooth headset. I can hear the phone ring through and everything looks dandy but no go! Push the pick-up button - nothing. This isn't such a big deal really - I mean - who cares if it picks up on the BT headset - I just want to be able to answer a call in general!
Now - I do have a lot of applications on the machine from a modifcation perspective and I am thinking this could all very well be my fault. I have Advance Config, Diamond TF3D config, and Diamond Tweak all loaded (each have their own benefit.)
Strange thing is... I just did a test and the phone picks up JUST FINE. I'm about ready to pull my hair out. It's really hard to put my finger on it. Tried it a second time, if I try to answer with the soft key it won't work but the hard key will work. Now the hard key will not actually hang up the call - I have to use the softkey to hang it up. I don't know if anyone is having the same issues but I am to the point of hard-reset to start from scratch.

I actually had the "can't pick up" problem just yesterday, but with my Prophet. Using Pdaviet's MyVista 6.1 Rom and S2U2. The phone rang, S2U2 displaying the full screen call notification, no chance of picking up the call.
Do you also use S2U2?

When you find your self in a hole, it usually helps if you stop digging.
Unpalatable as it might seem, I think with hassles like you've got, a HR is probably your best option.
ps, just a thought, have you at any stage in your tweaking done any button or key re-mapping... either inadvertently or by design? Maybe worth a check before giving up

wow, that's a whole load of issues
I've had my Diamond for about a week now..... and have had none of those issues..... Bluetooth works fine, picking up is a breeze....
what provider are you with?

I remember reading more complaints about sound going bye after Bluetooth use in the early days of the Diamond. Try searching around a bit and see if you can find something. However, seeing your other issues, a hard-reset might not be out of place.
Also, for aesthetics, do note that it is usually considered bad practice to place two identical symbols after each other when masking cursewords with random characters.

By far probably the best advise yet!
The emotional side... aka incredible hulk... came out and punched shift/keyboard number row (pounded rather.) I was thinking in my head, "smash Diamond" and the KB had to take the abuse.
Carrier information for those who asked.
CDMA Diamond on the lovely Telus system (aka - Tel-us, we take your money)

As with all troubleshooting, you need to start from beginning. When you first got the phone, it could answer call. Right? So you need to trace back to what have you done to the phone step by step and to find out when it starts to fail.

Doh... Well I reset the device... seems to work now but something that seemed to be working before was my Zune subscription music from Zune Pass was synching to my mobile device via a Synch Center setup. I was amazed it was actually working... now it's not working So - I get calling back and lose the little trick that was working - Zune Pass DRM music synching with my Diamond... you win some and you lose some I guess doh.

You should do some research and some reading.
And relax a little before you Fire up and disrupt a Community in peace.

I have the same thing going on now... same programs installed as you.
Is it still working after a hard reset? Did you re-install all the same programs?

Well, I'm on a Telus Diamond, and had the no answer problem, and solved it with a hard reset.. just try it, it doesn't take too much to get everything back to the way you had everything..

Backlight turns on!! Tilt WM6.1

I have an AT&T tilt and I just upgraded it to the WM6.1 ROM from the HTC webpage and since then I have noticed that when I turn of the screen, all of a sudden it just lights up for a sec and turns off again, without any reason, is there a way to fix this, do i have to flash it again? what do I have to do?

i have the same issue, seems like after i flashed it happened.. any ideas?
one cool feature is that when it flickers, if u press the screen constantly, it flickers.. like a strobe light.. lol

I have the same problem. It's annoying because I think I'm getting a text or call. and usually I don't receive texts, i have to see it light up then press the mail button to see if I have a new text. ARGH.

My Tilt does the same thing. It's a whiteish-gay light. It'll come on for short bursts or I'll notice it on in the middle of the night, and who knows how long it's on until I notice it.
I had upgraded to WM6.1 a while back, and didn't have any issues, but had to hard reset my Tilt and it has been doing it since.
It doesn't do it all the time, either. Weird.

Mine Does The Same Thing
I hope there is a fix some time for this ..

I'm glad i am not the only one, but havent found a fix yet

I seem to remember there being an issue with screen flicker when the Tilt first came out, I think it was related to having Telnav selected in the today screen items tab. Try removing the checks one item at a time from the items tab, I doubt it will be as simple as a software conflict but it could be worth trying.
I had an issue with SPB Pocket Plus on my today screen, once I moved it in to a tab on SPB Shell the issue disappeared.

Fixxed?
I dont know if it just stopped doing it, I am not paying attention anymore or if one of the many things I did finally worked, but the truth is i havent seen it do it again, Thanks to everybody

It been happening on my Tilt since I got it last month.

This is happening on my tilt too... only after upgrading to 6.1. Glad to see it is not just me, but very concerning that this is a problem directly in the 6.1 TILT rom.

Bump........
Any body have any luck on this? I continue to have this problem.

Adding my voice and another symptom
is anyone else having this problem:
1. lock the tilt by tapping 'device unlocked'
2. tap the power button.
3. the backlight comes on, no picture but instead of flashing it stays on draining the battery
4. tap the power button to turn the tilt back on
5. tap the power button to turn tilt back off again
6. tilt stays off.
the issue did not change with the backlight hotfix.

Maybe try another ROM
Finally, i found others with this stupid glitch
I thought it was a hardware error, so i had AT&T send me a warranty/replacement, and guess what... comes out of the box and STILL DOES IT! Has anyone with this problem tried installing a DIFFERENT ROM, like one from the XDA forums? I'm about to try that, because i am fed up with this. I will report if it works. ARG!
Sorry for the ranting. but in a way, i'm relieved. that there are others with this problem
... It might pay to just go back to Windows Mobile 6.0.....
-=ZYXTIA=-

Different ROM fixed problem, but just had more problems after. Sorry guys.

Me Too...
I am glad that I have found other people with the same issue as me. I thought it was just my phone, as I do a lot of backups and restores after I do something stupid with my phone and I also use a lot of beta/unstable software, and figured it was caused by these. However, it only happened after I upgraded to 6.1 stock ROM. Maybe somebody can figure out exactly why this happens, and then we can come up with a fix. I am just happy that I'm no longer alone with this issue
-Dave

I'm very pleased to know that it isn't just me experiencing this stupid backlight issue.
It started happening the second I upgraded to WM6.1
Funny thing is, it only happens to me if I Lock the phone (keys) and turn off the screen. If I just turn off the screen without locking, the backlight stays off.
It would be really great if someone could come up with a fix for this that doesnt require me to reflash my phone with some cooked up rom

has anyone tried this hotfix?
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=1&dl_id=269
i'm experiencing the same problem, will try it and post back as soon as i can
edit: didn't work. got some error about it couldnt remove the old customization tool or something like that

Running the AT&T 6.1 ROM and silly thing turns on by itself at 12 midnight. No connection to anything as I leave it in Flight Mode. Only goes off after I hit the Power Button. Drains the battery down to about half by the time I leave for work at 7AM.
Really is annoying!

Possible Solution
If you are still under warranty, call up AT&T warranty replacement (Customer service is 1-800-331-0500, and just ask for warranty department), and tell them you have this problem. TELL THEM YOU THINK IT IS A HARDWARE ISSUE, and they will send you a replacement, refurbished Tilt. The next one will also have WM6.1 on it, and do the same thing. HOWEVER, it is AT&T policy that after two replacements, instead of getting another one the third time, they give you a refurb of a DIFFERENT MODEL. That is how i got the AT&T FUZE (a.k.a. the HTC Touch Pro, a.k.a the "Raphael"). It doesn't have that problem. But otherwise, i have no other suggestions. i'm just sick of having AT&T screw up the phone's software, and then try to pass it off as quality.

Mine comes on exactly at midnight!
Annoying as hell...and the light from it wakes me up from across the room.

My buttons don't want to be touched...

Ok, this might be the first real problem I've had with my tilt, in a sense that I have no freakin clue what happened or how to fix it. The front buttons on the tilt as well as my keyboard decided they wanted to stop working and I have no clue how to bring them back... let me start from the beginning.
I installed m2d about 2 weeks ago, its kind of laggy but I'm still impressed with the overall UI as it compliments the tilt. Some bugs started popping up here and there but through the forum I was able to make it run relatively smoothly. Last night my tilt wouldn't connect to my computer, the usb contacts might have gone bad or something, it only works when I put pressure on the cable to keep the contacts together. Than today my screen would wake up for no reason, with no programs or application running in the front or background of the device. It was annoying to say the least. Than I got my first text of the day and went to respond using the actual keyboard, no dice. No response from the keyboard. So as Im typing using the stylus I tried to delete something, and the backspace button on the touch keypad isn't working, so more problems. I want to try and hard reset the device to see if that fixes the problem, but since I can't use the hard buttons on the front of the device I can't hard reset (the scroll wheel, ptt, and ok buttons aren't working either) Is this anything anyone has ever heard of? My tilt is kind of battered after a year of use, but nothing significant has happened within the last month to make me think that something inside came loose, especially since this just started today and it was just sitting on my table all night. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks in advance.

might be "m2d" not compatible ... hair wired ..
I wonder ..whether we can install window CE from pc to h/p through usb link ...
"Last night my tilt wouldn't connect to my computer, the usb contacts might have gone bad or something, it only works when I put pressure on the cable to keep the contacts"
r u using original usb cable ..b'cos now a day I saw many only using normal "small" usb cable head which easily spoil the connector at phone ... too loose for that sharp..

@kaiserII...your usb is whack, haha. that **** made me laugh.

having same exact issue
ya it happened to me sunday night, having exact same problem. keyboard doesnt work, and my front buttons dont work exept for the the center button which ends up opening the start menu (wrong command). Im over my 1 year warrenty and not sure what to do. Had to buy a cheap 40 dollar nokia for the time being, please help if someone can. Oh and I did a hard reset, and it didnt fix anything. Booted android with it and 1 out of 5 times the buttons came back, this is really weird/vexing.

Exactly the same thing has happened to me!! Coming on randomly, draining the battery really quickly and the same keys doing the same things as yours i.e. nothing or Start menu. The backspace and space don't work on the on-screen keyboard either. Is it the end of the road or has anyone the slightest idea what the hell to do!?!?!?

Same issue but slightly different
2 days ago I started hearing a noise from my phone that was not something I normally hear. After checking my phone I found out it was the voice recorder program opening up on its own. It started repeatedly doing this and recording automatically. I had to hold down the close option (X) and before it would stop. AFter a reset and when the phone wakes up it always does this now. Along with all these whacky problems my hard buttons stopped working. My scroll wheel and D-pad sometimes work and only the up, down, left and right arrows work on the keyboard. Camera button seems to work sometimes also. All others have stopped responding. Except for holding the power key. I just reflashed my phone to latest phoenix ROM and problem is the same. Is this it for the phone or is there a fix.
Anyone??? Please!!

Try this free fix
I had the same problem as the original poster. My fix was to download AE Button Plus trial and use it to reset my keys to their original setting. I did not have to do the keyboard, just the external keys. Now my tilt works like it used to.
This fixed the problem when clear storage and reloading roms did not.
It doesn't hurt to try since the trial is free.
Good Luck,
Will

same here... help pls...
any one yet has found a solution for this issue??? 2days ago my Kaiser suddenly started with same problems, buttons dont work and the recorder goes on, any one yet found a way to fix it??? thanks...

I have no idea if this will actually help anyone but I installed japanese input on my kaiser once and during the process a registry got edited that stopped my hardware keyboard and the hardware keys (front keys) from working and the fix was to correct the value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010411]
edit the 0010411 value to "00000409"
again I have no idea if this will help but it wouldnt hurt to check to see if the registry somehow got changed. Goodluck and I hope you guys figure it out.

didnt work...

I have the same issue
This is intresting, I just posted on this, as I am having the same issue, which of course just started a few days ago. I have the updated UI as well but I installed it as well.

Any idea how to fix it??

keyboard fix "edfc" problem
yes , kaiser tweak slide wake disabled ...it OK
Greetings from Olsztyn Poland
Unfortunately, the problem returned it was only a temporary improvement, sorry

For my tytn2 after rom upgrade, the front buttons do not respond except the central one. the side buttons are responding under the win only but in the bootloader screen they don't respond. and I cannot make a hard reset.
I did a hard reset through the setting menu but still the problem has not been solved. Adding on that the keyboard doesn't work except the arrow keys.
Do anyone can figure a solution for that. except the hardware problem bec I am out of warranty.
Did anyone was able to solve the problem fully?

oo wow, i have the same problem. hope theres a fix

adding to that the the bluetooth is turnino on by itself even if I switched it off and the device by itself after time of switching it off it refuse to start again unless I did a soft reset.
I tried all the avilabe suggestion but nothing worked.

Hiya
This seems to be a problem with the TyTn II - there are several threads in this forum about it, none of which have any working solutions that I ever found...
I spent ages trying different ROMS, Radios and pressing of buttons and haven't found a solution - other than to disown the TyTn II and get another phone! I did pick it up again the other day and it is still refusing to have working buttons or keyboard (as reported by others, only the central buttons seems to work all the time as a Start Menu button).
I did manage to stop it eating battery at a ridiculous rate by turning it to specific radio settings rather than letting it find its own GPRS/ 3G and phone band. I think it was in this thread
I was considering sending my TynTn II to HTC, but I'm not sure it's going to be worth the postage and their service fees as I've already replaced it with a Touch Pro 2. Then again if we ALL sent them in, they might acknowledge some sort of problem with this model.
