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

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?

Where can I find PPCProfiles. I dont seem to have that kind of settings in my original HTC P3600....
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 am running the stock AT&T Tilt, without any of the bloatware (having hit soft reset and aborting the installation of the extra CABS).
While I didn't think we needed to run the Microsoft DST fix, I found that phone is not reporting the correct time vis-a-vis OggSync, as I try to sync with my google calendar.
When I applied the DST fix, and then did the additional steps - go into Clock, set to a DIFFERENT time zone, close out of Clock, say OK to knowing that it will change appt times, etc. Returning to today screen. Giving the system a moment to adjust to new time zone. Go back into Clock, set to CORRECT time zone, close out of Clock, say OK to knowing that it will change appt times, etc. Returning to today screen, and letting system readjust to correct time. Then, DST is set and OggSync reports that the DST registry setting is correct.
Here is the problem: Each time I soft re-set, it loses the DST registry setting reading. I have to go back to the Clock and do the hocus-pocus changing of time zones to get it to read correctly.
I can't be the only one having this problem, can I? Can anyone suggest what I may be missing? Is there something that ATT added in one of the CABS that fixes this that I may be missing?
Please, if you can, wise gurus....HELP!!!
You might try turning off the Automatic Time Zone detection, which is under Settings > Phone > Time Zone. See if that fixes it.
According to MS, WM6 doesn't need the DST patch. Both my phones, 8525 & Tilt changed times without the patch.

You might need to install the DST patch on your PC, not your Tilt.
On this link you will find the patch for your PC:

Thanks all for the replies.
I am not using a PC, so this isn't coming from that area.
My Tilt IS reporting the correct time and made the adjustment at 2 am on last Sunday.
The issue is that when OggSync (which is used to sync with Google Calendar) READS the registry settings for the time zone, they aren't there (or something like that, I think). The same issue happens when using SyncMyCal, another way of syncing with Google Calendar.
Is ANYONE syncing successfully directly with Google Calendar and has solved this problem? Or anyone else discovering issues?
It is weird. The phone is fine (time zone wise), but now its not just a soft reset. It seems that each time I open OggSync, I have to go through the little change-timezone-dance.
Any other thoughts?

Thank you very much for this tip! I never would have thought to look there for the problem I was experiencing, but UNCHECKING the Automatic Time Zone detection as you suggested solved the problem for me. I was this close <holds fingers pretty close together> to hard-resetting my PDA to attempt to combat the issue, and your suggestion saved me!
Thanks again.
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...
Hi everyone
Have been using the Diamond for a few days now and have noticed a few quirks here and there. Mostly are software issues that I think will be ironed out in later releases of the ROM but for now there are a few issues that I was wondering if anyone else was having.
I have my own Exchange server running and have Direct Push/3G on constantly. The only issue is that sometimes i get the mail come through via Direct Push while sometimes it doesnt. In those situations I have to push "sync" in active sync for it to grab the new mails.
My settings are on "as item arrives" for both peak and offpeak and the status in active sync is shown as connected. This worked perfectly on my Trinity and Direct Push has never missed a beat once.
Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
The only time I ever experienced this is when O2 had a data outage in the UK yesterday. Other than that it has worked flawlessly.
Have my own exchange aswell, and haven't any problems so far !
Have you tried checking the peak times in the options for activesync?
not Diamond-related at all (since I don't have one yet) - but are you perhaps roaming networks sometimes?
had a customer with this issue and there is an extra option 'sync when roaming' (at least in WM5) - syncing manually worked in other networks without option enabled
HKC\Software\HTC\Manila:
PushMailOn : default value is "0" ( OFF)
PLease chech this value in your registry. I wonder if this settings might affect push mail avaiability for you.
I would set to "1" and soft reset to confirm.
I have the problem also! I had no problems with a TyTN II being used on the same Exchange server, but the diamond has a mind of it's own.
The peak time is on the default 8am to 8pm and reverse for off peak. But I dont think this affects it since I have it on "as item arrives" for both.
I dont have "use above settings when roaming" ticked since I'm in a very well covered 3G zone. The "H" icon is constantly on where I am.
I havent tried the reg edit yet SecureGSM, thanx for the tip. I will try to isolate the problem and do that for a last resort.
Is your problem consistent or inconsistent vas79?
I have noticed something but not sure if my paranoia or what but I have a feeling the time size affects it. If you have it large at the default size the mail comes in fine. But when you minimise the time to see more calendar items, the mail does not direct push. I'm still testing this so i'll post result after a few days of use in both.
Well it consistently doesn't work!
I very rarely hear the email alert when the phone is in standby. When I turn the phone on a unlock no email then within 10 seconds email will come in and get the little icon by the Mail saying how many new emails.
Alternatively I'd go to Activesync and it would say last sync'd at XXX rather than connected. I then select Sync which it does then it stays connected until next time.
If I go to the comm manger it says Direct Push is on and Data Connection on.
I can live with it, because i assume it's a bug and it will get fixed!..
My major gripe is it doesn't ring straight away, takes 3/4 rings to get going and ring. I have missed so many calls because of this!
i have been using Diamond with Exchange Server 2007 pushmail via GPRS since 1st June. There is no problem so far.
I am using BlackBerry at the same time. Basically pushmail arrives later than blackberry for 1.5 secs, I am sure all mails can be arrived to my Diamond in these 2 weeks.

hmmm ok, seems like you have a different problem to me. Mine actually says "connected" but mail just doesnt get pushed out or rather Diamond doesnt get the message. Have you made sure that you have "as item arrives" in the schedule (in activesync) for both peak and off peak?

Yep, everything says "as item arrives" also tried ticking even when roaming, when i'm not!!
Actually today it has said connected everytime I've checked!
Only thing I changed yesterday was one of the registry tweaks to improve touchflo 3d performance.
When the UK rom drops and we can load it I will see then!
UK Rom here and seeing exactly the same issues!
Mine has been working fine too...
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
