Hi there,
My wireless (wi-fi) on my TILT keeps automatically turning on after I do a soft reset. I turn the reboot the phone with wireless off, but when I reboot it, the wireless automatically turns on and starts looking for a connection.
This is depleting the electrons in my battery and is becoming very annoying.
Any ideas or solutions as to what may cause this and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for the help.
it's one of the cabs you have installed, the comm manager if I'm not mistaken. I had that problem with one of installs as well. If you can't live with the comm mgr, learn to turn off wifi when you soft reset, otherwise wipe it clean and steer clear of crappy cabs. I'm sure there's a registry edit for it somewhere, but too lazy to dig.
Could you be more clear on this comms manager?
My phone seems to have it installed but i cannot uninstall it.. it came with the phone
I also notice my phone trying to connect to GPRS randomly with nothing set to update automatically etc
Its becoming a pain in the arse as i can cancel the connection 100 times and it will keep going and i have to power the phone off to stop it
I have the 6-button gray comm manager that lists Airplane Mode, Phone, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Beam, and 3G. All the buttons are horizontal.
How can the comm manager be causing the problem though...please elaborate.
Thanks again.
if all fails you can try this solution:

I recently bought a bluetooth keyboard mainly to use while on wifi, but to my disappointed wifi dont seem to work with bluetooth on!
Another problem, my ppc keeps shutting down while i'm using my bt keyboard, tried few "keepalive" apps but it still shuts down, found only one way, thats adjusting the power settings not to shut down permanently, but this needs soft reset every time
Anyone with experience or suggestion on either the above?
Nevermind that, I found out that wifi needs adequate signal strength in order to function properly with bluetooth on.
About the power issue, the main problem was not knowing when the PPC will shut down, so i wrote a morscript to prompt a countdown when its about to shut down, and option to reset the idle timer.
Thanks all..
Moving from the Touch to the Kaiser I love the 3G performance and the built-in GPS however there are two MAJOR issues I have that did not exist on the Touch and I cannot understand why the Kaiser with double the memory suffers from this.
1- Erratic scrolling in IE even after the page has loaded ?
2- My other problem (and this is more serios) is that the device does not turn off after the 1 min settings I set in the Power settings. I do not set the backlight dimming settings. I just want to phone to off itself after 1 min. It does not and if I forget to turn it of it just drains the Batt.
Again, the Touch did not have either of these flaws.
Any help with the power issue would be great.
Thanks in advance

There is a known issue that I and others have been reporting regarding scrolling in PIE. We have not yet identified a way to resolve this. However we have discovered that :
Opera Mini a java midlet based application works well and super fast. A great application for straightforward browsing. No frills but good viewing options and due to the way it works may reduce data charges for some and will certainly impress with its speed. (Freeware)

OR
Opera Mobile. Works well and fast, no scrolling issues and actually a pretty good full spec.browser. Not free but has a trial period to test it out. Iuse this and am very pleased with it.

As for your switch off problem, that I think is just a settings issue, but I'd need to check.

Regarding turning off after 1 minute.
I suggest you go back into:
Start?Settings>system>Power icon>advanced tab
Uncheck turn off device after 1 minute, click OK.
May be best to perform a soft reset.
Now go back and recheck "turn off device" after 1 minute
Perform a test to see if the one minute turn off is now working, and report back here on success or otherwise.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the feedback. I unchecked the power setting to turn off after 1 min, power cycled the phone and set it again. The phone does NOT power off.
I power cycled one more time and still i does not turn off.
Can you please verify this behavior ?
Nothing is checked in the backlight options and ONLY "Turn off device if not used for" 1 min is checked under "On battery power".
The phone never turns off on its own.
Thanks again,

I tested this before making the above post. I tried different time settings and it powered off at the set time. So I can only think that either some application is keeping it "alive" ie. not "idle" so the time trigger never starts or this is something that will only be cured with a hard reset.
If you have killed all running applications and it still will not auto sleep then hard reset may be the only option. If you have full backup facilities this should be a painless operation, though if you reinstall the backup and the problem is caused by an installed application then the problem will return on backup installation.

The only app that is running ( that I can see ) is Activesync due to push email. This was the case with the Touch so I do not think it is Activesync that is keeping the phone from turning off.
Thanks anyway for your efforts...
Found the problem!
Well it looks like Activesync (DirectPush) is the problem.
If I kill ActiveSync the phone turns itself off at the established timeout. If ActiveSync is running (with DirectPush active) it does not turn off. Again, on the Touch this was not the case so it is not proper behavior.
Any ideas or reg settings to correct this?
Thanks.

There may be, but I at least don't know them. There are reg keys that tell the device to suspend but keep an application running (sometimes known as "unattended mode". However we know yours does suspend when AS is not running. I just wonder whether there are any "sync" settings within your push mail client that may be running a sync too frequently.
Another, but more remote possibility is that when AS is active it may also be servicing other apps, like weather apps, time sync etc - so perhaps just worth checking there are no other less obvious apps running. AS can also rather stupidly attempt to sync with the PC even if you are not connected to it. So perhaps double check any AS settings.
Mike
I played with the ActiveSync settings and the only way the phone turns off while AS is running is if I disable DirectPush. On manual sync or periodic sync the phone turns off at the proper timeout.
Any idea where DirectPush settings are ?
Thanks
I've this same problem NOW, but I've working over a month with activesync and pushemail active without this issue!!!!! (My configuration was also "as items arrive")
The only thing I can say is that today i suddently saw my exchange settings had been dissapeared without doing anything, then I reconfigured the exchange setting again, and from that moment my kaiser does not suspend if "as items arrive" is selected!
I have the same problem with the phone not switching off, though on mine it doesn't matter whether direct push is on or off, it still won't power down.
Edit: Now that's typical. As soon as I submitted the above and started playing with it, it started working...
I've tried various ROMS, currently using the clean Tilt rom. After a hard reset I am able to turn on the WLAN and connect to my home network. After a while, I am no longer able to turn on the WLAN. If I tap the WLAN button in comm manager, I see the spinning beach ball for a few seconds, then nothing happens. The icon doesn't light up, it doesn't search for a network, no error is displayed, just nothing.
Has anyone seen this problem or have an idea of what else I can check?
Did you install any of the custom comm managers? It's pretty common that they break the WLAN enable/disable. I use the 10 button one but there is a reghack to fix it.
I just did another hard reset. Still using Helmi_Tilt_AKU.0.7.0.R1.BigStorage.exe ROM. After the initial startup and customization ran, I was able to turn on and connect the WLAN. After that, I did a power off. (Hold the power button 5 secs). When I turned the Tilt back on, I was no longer able to turn on the WLAN. I had not installed any software.
I'm reflashing with the original ATT rom. I'll report back after I've done the same test with that ROM.
I reflashed the original ATT rom. Same Issue. I think I just have a bad unit. If I power cycle. sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. I haven't been able to get a consistent result.
Final result. It was a bad unit. I got a warranty replacement and it's working fine now.
My backlight stays on when ever i get a text or a call. Even if i hangup, it still stays on and then i have to manually dim it. Its damn annoying, as my fone is not always with me. Ill come home and the thing would be flat due to a text early the morning and the backlight staying on the whole day.
I did a hard reset a while ago and that seems to cure it, but when i backup my data, the backlight issue is back.
I almost want to think that active sync is the culprit. dont know how or why, but it has some influence on the phone. Any Ideas?
thanx
Check your backlight (dim after X minutes) and power (turn off after Y minutes) settings?
Turn off backlight if device is not used for - 10seconds (battery power)
Turn off backlight if device is not used for - 1 minute (External power)
thats the current setttings?
Do you have your phone connected to the PC via activesync (usb or bluetooth) all day?
No, not at all. Bluetooth is off, wifi is off, its just idling. If i get a text or a call it stays on.
when i do connect to the pc its via usb
Have you installed any non standard applications that adjust the backlight???? I had the same problem when I used wm5 Ipaq programs on my TyTN.
not at all. I recently did a hard reset.
then plugged it into the pc a couple of times. So i gathered activesync connected a few times and now its giving me the same old crap
Did you install Manilla TouchFlo?
nope. there is only oem software on the fone

KaiserTweak is just what you need! You can change all the 'sleep' options around, without having to dive into the registry.

Hello,
I got a little problem with my Touch Diamond 2: When I'm at home, where I have a wifi access point and I turn off wifi on the TD2 in Commanager then the TD2 always turns on wifi automatically under certain circumstances that I don't know the reason for.
Is there any way or any registry hack, so that the TD2 only turns on wifi when I turn it on manually? Is There any way to prevent wifi auto turn on after soft reset?
I wanna conserve battery life and really hate it, when the device turns on wifi automatically.
Thanks in advance

this happened to me also, I figured out, that when connected by cable to PC the wifi cannot be turned off. Try it, and let readers know (I have no cable yet by myself).
