turning on the screen always takes me to today - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Don't know if anyone has exerienced this but, everytime I turn the screen on the device shows the today screen, no matter what it's running. Not a big deal, but I used to turn off the screen for a few seconds when I wanted to take pictures in low light conditios and I can't do that anymore
It all began when I configured my exchange account and had to install Zenyee's Stayunlocked to avoid having to enter a password every 5 min (due to my company's security policies).
Anyone else has this problem?
thanks in advance

that sunds like today timeout to me.... got to settings/personal/today/items

hope this helps,

nope
nope. I already tried different settings there and it didn't change. I just noticed another funny thing. the screen turns on alone for a moment five seconds after I turn it off. but this only happens if I'm using the camera. Isn't it weird? It just flashes and turns off again....
any suggestions?

Anyone else has something to add to this issue? Has anybody else used zenyee Stayunlocked in a Kaiser?
thanks

Do you have Batterystatus installed? There is an option in the tool-tab:
"Show Today-Screen on WakeUp" Check if checked.

TyTN II waking randomly

Hey everyone
Has anyone else noticed that their TyTN II wakes from standby when switching between GPRS and 3G. At least I think this is why mine appears to wake up randomly! It will be sat on my desk in standby mode and then the screen will switch on and the signal strength bars will move.
I've checked to make sure nothing is running in the background and performed a soft reboot.
Any ideas?
Hi
The Kaiser does turn on at least once every hour (some house keeping tasks), and will turn on if the mobile signal is lost. However these on's are in unattended mode which means the device appears off to the owner so the screen will not come on.
If you have some software that likes to do work or updates the today page for example, that software may be detecting the device has turned on and in order to get your attention or just through bad programming, issues a power announcement to say turn on proper, hence the display lights up!
Regards
Phil
Thanks for the info, I'll have a look what I have on there and try and isolate what is causing the power ups.
Cheers for the help.
If you have sprite backup installed with the auto backup on low power option that causes occasional power ups to enable the power check.
I may have solved this issue. After uninstalling enAlarm the phone, no longer appears to be waking. I'm still monitoring it though
i have the same problem when im signed on to AIM. Once i sign off it stops waking up, but if its on it'll wake up every 5 minutes or so, and it is in fact annoying. Havent found out the solution for it yet so i just dont really use it that often

it's when a friend log's in or out of AIM.. it's a paint, rediculious and ATT refuses to get rid of OZ messanger and use a real one.
here's the kicker. it supposed to use TEXT , but when a friend logs in or out, the message is sent to your phone, and then DATA brings up the list..
STUPID and ignorant of ATT but,. big companies do what they want!
I have been having the same problem as well. I just installed this DeviceLock program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305402
If you enable the "Lock on Wake" option, the device will be locked when it wakes up, so the backlight stays off and you won't call anyone by accidentally hitting buttons.
Also, I ran across this related thread you might want to check out (basically talking about the same thing, but for the Tilt):

TomTom screen timeout?

Hi,
I have tomtom navigator 6 working fine on my tytn2 but after a few minuets the screen times out and goes black, u then have to press the power button for it to come back but it then looses the gps and u have to wait a few secs before it comes back.
Is there any way to leave screen on all the time for tomtom?
Thanks
Jason
Adjust your power settings.
But that will change it for everything and it will hurt my battery life. surley there must be a fix for this type of program or something?
Thanks
Jason
I have never had a problem with TomTom and screen timeout, I think I have seen some settings for it in TomTom itself...
My TT6 has worked just fine from day 1...not sure what I did, if anything to keep the screen on.
Already had a good look and there isnt any settings for it.
Are you sure you haven't set the safety settings on TomTom to turn off the screen over a certain speed?
From your description I don't think this is the case. Weird problem though, I don't get it on mine.
wierd issue, to add to this i keep getting the pin screen appear after about 15-20 mins when using TomTom, yes i do have the pin enabled and its set for 0mins so when the screen times out its on, but i have configured it to 5, 15 mins with the same effect, the sceen just reverts to pin after around 15-20mins (i have to have this enables as my work exchange requires (read force) it), which generally means i have to type in my set pin to get tomtom back.... not good.......

You have to look harder buddy. Run Tomtom then go to Change Preferences. In there, open Safety Preferences. Select Disable safety lock and tap Done. Then you will be presented with the next option: "Turn off map display". Set this to Never.

How to stop Today screen on power on?

Hi all, whenever my Kaiser goes to sleep and I turn it back on, it closes whatever app was up, and presents the Today screen.
I am sure I saw a setting to prevent this but cannot find it any more in Advanced Config or Kaiser Tweak.
Anyone know how to make it come out of standby showing the same screen it entered standby with?
Today timeout....... under settings?
No that's something different to what I described.
I was thinking the same thing as grizzley. Can you describe a little more on how it is different than what you described?
My Tilt always comes out of standby to whatever program was running when it went into standby.
That's it really, mine doesn't. E.g. I'm in Calendar, and the device automatically goes into standby after 2 mins. I press the power button and it instantly wakes up, closes calendar, and shows the home screen.
I have seen this option in BatteryStatus but it doesn't have any effect if I tick or untick it.
Yes, I see.
There is also the "Today timeout" setting under Settings>Personal>Today>Items, but I do not think this will help you either.
The only other thing I can think of is maybe you have a Today plug-in that has some sort of "timeout" feature?
Actually, I also have a vague recollection of a setting (maybe in SKTools) that might have been something like "Today screen on resume." But I might be imagining this; I will do a little investigating.
Sorry I can not be more helpful.

[Q] Gear VR - Bypass Lock Screen

I just got my Gear VR and this thing is amazing, but I've noticed something different once I started playing with the Gear VR.
When the display times-out and goes to sleep, it doesn't lock the phone. When I press the home button/power button it goes straight to the homepage and bypasses the lock screen. It doesnt matter what kind of lock I use (pattern, finger, pin, etc).
If I use the power button to turn off the phone, the lock screen appears. Does anyone else experience this?
I noticed the same thing. I'm using s view cover and the phone sometime locks sometime doesn't.
That's good to know. Glad Im not the only one experiencing this.

Mine has just done the same today. I left my phone in the gear vr while not using it when came back to it about 15 mins later the lock screen has disappeared. I use to have the fingerprint unlock which has gone and goes straight to home screen when I power on, does anyone know how to get it back please?
Go to Display under setting and see what timer you have. I did 15 secs to test. Next go to Lockscreen under settings > under 'Lock Automatically" make sure 'immediately' is checked.

[Q] Screen on

Hey Z3c owners,
After an upgrade to LP-5.0.2, my screen acts weird. When phone is locked time to time screen comes on and does not turns off automatically, despite that my screen timeout is set to 30 seconds.
I have no idea what is causing that, thought that I could be triggered by notifications but after few test this idea felt.
Anyone has similar issue? Or any thoughts how to find whats triggers that screen on, and does not allows it to turn off?
Thanks
