Hi Peoples!
Im not sure if this is the right section of the Kaiser forum that this thread belongs in...if not then mybad in advance
ok so moving on to the problem: I have a bit of a randomly happening problem. I currently own ATT tilt which runs wm 6 and have installed program called profiles to help me switch phone ring status.... vibrate when i am at work (8am to 5pm mon-fri) and then normal when i am not(5pm onwards each day)...
When the phone switches profiles...it makes a sound and displays a message on screen indicating a swtich in profile took place, BUT what is happeneing is sometimes, the phone will play that sound repediately switching to same profile numerous times and the message goes in and out....if this is confusing ill give an example....lets say its 7:59am right at 8am the phone makes the sound and switches to "work" profile and displays a message on the screen saying that it has switched to "work" profile....BUT every once in a while the sound will repeat for 5-6 times and the message "work profile activated" will go in and out....o btw this happens on both profiles - normal and work
Got any suggestions?
Thanks
First, this post should be in the general Kaiser forum, because it is not related to upgrading.
Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the program?
Are you running the AT&T ship ROM? Or a custom one?
HTC Home is an application for your Today screen that has a profile tab for changing between Normal/Vibrate/Silent/Custom modes. That is what I use to switch between profiles at work and home.
oh i c oops....can a mod help me move it to the right section....
yes i have tried uninstall and reinstall...i am running the ATT ship ROM...i actually like to automate anything that i have to do manually in the morning since i am always in a hurry but i did explore the HTC Home profile switcher...but it didnt do what i wanted...which was to auto switch to a perticular profile at a given time and then switch back after...

what software exactly do you use?
from what you say, it is a conflict with other apps on the phone or with the OS itself. you need to provide more details. and most probably you will receive advices like: do a hard-reset, install app and check to see if problem is gone. my guess is it will be gone...
The name of the program is called: WMA Profiles for Windows Mobile
Well...i have done a hard reset already, tried reinstalling the program(like i already stated)...i have done most of the basic stuff for troubleshooting the problem
Have you tried Phone Alarm from PocketMax?
No i havent tried that....is this program similar to profiles....because profiles has all the things i am lookin for in a profile switcher app...

When I switch off my XDA IIs by button or SW button in most of the cases the device switches on it self for one more time.
Is there anyone who can help?
Thanks guys!
:?:
I have the same problem, I had a bluetooth headset paired to it, maybe that is it, I only got the XDAIIs today so I have not had much time to watch it but it happened tonight and the XDA mini never does it.
Each time the BT headset is switched on or off and pairs up or releases, when a text message arrives, when you come out of a signal blackspot and reconnect and find you have missed calls etc.
Basically anything that results in a visual change caused the device to switch on.
Very annoying. Don't know the solution.
I share your pain.

I'm using http://www.trancreative.com/nicestart.aspx to keep the device locked, but it will turn on/off, but now it's locked so i dont delete data when it turns on in my pocket.
No matter what you do, the device will turn on at least once every hour.
I read somewhere that it does this to check the battery status.
I had the same problem once. Please open ActiveSync, switch the device off and see if ActiveSync is trying to connect..
Of course there can be lots of other reasons...
Yes I didn't mention on my post that activesync also seems to be a player in this problem.
If activesync is running, somehow the device syncs at varying intervals from 5 mins-1hr and switches it on to do so.
I used the attached to kill activesync to stop it happening.
Hope it helps.
Joe
I just unchecked the "Use mobile schedule to sync with this PC" setting and the problem was solved.
Though this seems to be a bug in ActiveSync..
Thanks
Works fine, great!
i had this problem on my old rom, and since i upgraded to 1.40, it aint done it since. maybe u need to upgrade.
My bro and I both bought the above units and have upgraded to the GPS rom. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the unit switches on by itself. We are both experiencing this problem but also have the same programs running. The button lock feature is set on.
That's right. My Trinity is alive, too ;-)
I'm using the dopod rom about one week and I noticed that today for the first time.
There's no application running in the background. It's still alive ;-)
I do not care about this problem.
Hi,
Any software you are running?
Best regards,
Gilbert
Today programs are as follows:
cLaunch
Today Agenda
Battery Pack / Program Bar
PPCProfiles
I will try and eliminate one by one to see if it is software related.
Anyone else using one of the programs and having the unit switch on by itself. This issue bothers me as I see its going to be a drain on the battery.
Activesync may be the culprit
Many PPC WM5 devices tend to turn themselves on. It is usually an Activesync setting that periodically turns on the device and tries to connect to a non existant server. Best bet is to set up a dummy server on Activesync on the PPC, then set the sync settings to Manual, then delete the dummy server.
Sorry if you already have done this, but it certainly solved the issue for me.

Hey Camstech, could you please give me a detailed description of how to set this up?
Thanks
My phone seems to do this too, but from what I can see, it is because of bad 3G coverage and the phone has to roam to GSM and back. Only happens at work where I got bad coverage (2/4).
AFAIK this issue is common to ALL devices and all versions.
I understand that you DO NOT TURN THE PDA OFF (Holding the on/off button), just go to "standby". So there are many Apps that tend to "awake" rather than TURN ON your PDA. It's like Sleep mode vs Hybernate in Windows. Agenda or scheduled items may turn your PDA active, even SMS messages that don't fully arrive, phone reconnecting, GPRS or UMTS changing status, profiles that are set to change over time, incoming calls, etc.
I think this is not specific to a certain ROM but to the fact that you have a full time connected and running computer in your pocket....
Hope it helps.

I would have to agree to a point, as I have noticed when PPCProfiles changes automatically to my car mode (bluetooth on) the pda turns on. So you are right that it's programs possibly turning it on but this never happened on my O2 mini (WM2003SE). I'm hoping a new ROM may fix this issue.
I have disabled the "auto switch template" on PPCProfiles which changes over to bluetooth at a certain time of the day and it appears to have stopped the pda turning on by itself. So far so good for 1 day. Curious if anyone else is using PPCProfiles and are experiencing this. Does anyone else use other phone profile programs with switching templates that does not turn on their pda by itself?

Very interesting.

You can find the program link below. I never had any issues when using this program on my O2 mini. It still works on my dopod d810 just that I have disabled the auto switch template.
ps the chrome template is the nicest

Correction to my thinking it was PPC profiles. It is actually happening when the bletooth is turned on ( hence ppc profiles switching over to car mode - bluetooth). I disabled ppc profiles and turned on bluetooth and strangely enough the dopod kept turning on.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem when they have bluetooth on?

Mine sometimes turns itself on when it automatically checks my email accounts, but not always. I wonder if it isn't the 3G/Edge switch that is explained earlier. My house is in a 3G fringe area. I believe it doesn't try and wake itself up when the Wifi is on. My Prophet never did this, it would only wake up for an alarm, call, or SMS.
The main issues are reduced battery life and if you have your phone in your pocket and it wakes up, buttons can be accidentally pressed before it goes back to sleep.
I have been playing around constantly trying to get my automatic profile to work through the HTC Home Plugin, and even though it is selected, it never switches when an appointment starts or ends, and it is driving me insane. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? I am using the latest AT&T Tilt ROM with HTC Home & have used kaisertweak to make some changes, but none that I would think affect it. I would like to get this to work without having to buy new software
Thanks.
Are you sure that your appointments have you set as "busy"? My understanding of how it works is that it will only set the ringtone to vibrate if your schedule has you in an appointment where your status is set to "busy".. I could be wrong?
thanks for your response, i fixed it when i installed a newer version of HTC home
Just received my Best Buy HTC Diamond and loving it. However, I'm having an issue with WiFi notification preferences and shutting down.
I don't like the sonar notification when a new WiFi network is detected, so I go into sounds & notifications settings and disable the sound. That's fine and all works, until I shut off phone and turn it back on. Then those settings are reset. Any idea to keep it persistent?
Thanks!
I'm having the exact same issue.. there's some posts here and there that suggest it's a bug with Opera that's stuffing everything up, but it's only the soft reset that effects me too...
Let me know if you find anything...
BTW - using regedit, I manually changed the notification .wav file and this seems to have kept it off the sonar one (which is god awful)
Give that a go which might at least prove a partial solution....
possible solution
Go to communication manager ->settings-> wireless lan->menu->wi-fi->menu->advanced->deselect turn on available network notification. I'm willing to bet this will do the trick. Have a nice day!

Hi adinic2007
good idea (great how WM hides all these settings), except I still like the notification, just not the awful sound...
Hi Jinxey,
I put a call into HTC, and they tried to tell me perhaps it's programs installed on my diamond that might be creating the issue (of course it's someone elses fault) - which isn't surprising - isn't that why all M$ products fail - because you're trying to install other programs...???
Anyway - can you give me a list of the programs you have installed - I might try a bit of troubleshooting myself.
cheers
A few days ago I started getting this message on my diamond that says:
DataBase Update Check
It may cost you data connection fee to check if new database update for Connection Setup. Would you like to proceed?
How do I get rid of this message?
Updating?...
Not sure if this is the same thing but have you tried:
Start/settings/connections/connection setup/menu - then untick "Enable Auto Configuration"
Again, no idea but it was just a thought.

Yeah, forgot to mention.
It has 2 options; Yes and No.
I choose yes, and it comes back again in 3-4 minutes.

I have been getting the same thing for the last 3 days, since coming back from holiday abroad, and it's very annoying, I never got that before, I thought it had something to do with the fact that i'd been roaming, but i see that other people are starting to get it at about the same time, could it be a network thing?
I've got the same issue since a couple of days... it's really annoying!
Is there a solution yet?
Same Issue with automatic update
I also got this issue since a couple of days! I have already stated it here but also still no answer yet.

Any support is highly appreciated!
I had this like 12 times while driving for 2hrs and using tomtom, the message would pop up over tomtom and take several presses to get it to disappear then often dumping me back to the HTC start page forcing me to faff with menus while driving to get tomtom back up, by the end of the trip i was nearly ready to throw the phone under the next lorry that passed me on the motorway
Really pi**ed off with this one
Hi,
I have same problem and it started when I proceed connection setup application. Now when I update weather or make a phone call that same note apears database update check.....
I did try soft reset also no help.. Any solved this problem?
Same here, pops up over my TomTom while driving - really annoying!
It happens every time I make a call.
Isn't there any one who knows how to get rid off this message?
Seems like this message pops up each time you try to connect to EDGE. So anytime the weather updates this message pops up. Very annoying!
Same problem here for at least one month already...
I performed a hard reset of my phone, it seemed to be ok, but since i installed Windows Live application, and set Hotmail to check emails once an hour, it has reappeared. Really annoying thing. Looks like everyone has been affected by it and it has only been happening for a few weeks. Something must have happened to trigger it on everyone's phones. We need to get to the core of it. I have been through all my Connections Settings trying to find a way to turn it off, but couldn't find anything yet. It would be great to get rid of this annoyance.
What ROM do you have? I have DUttys 3.1....
i get this on dutty 3.3. think its only started popping up recently. im on o2 in uk
I'm on Dutty's 3.5 (I think). Will revert back to Swiftblade's during the weekend, I'll post my findings then.
and I am on duttys 3.3, could this be connected to duttys rom?
I've also got Dutty's 3.3 ROM but have had it working fine before this message started coming up. I'm on T-mobile UK.
