Phone lock bug? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi everybody,
I have now been reading a lot of good stuff on this forum and tweaked my phone like most people have done in here. I have one problem which i have searched a lot for on this forum, but i couldn't find any answer.
The problem is:
When i go to System-> lock and tick the box called "prompt if device unused for" and set the needed time. The phone locks after the defined time and you have to type a password to unlock it. The problem is this also happens when the phone IS being used. Isn't it supposed to only lock the phone when it is NOT used for the defined time period?
Can anybody help me solving this issue? Maybe a registry hack or some other way around. It would be nice if the phone only locks when NOT used.
Thank you very much.

Is it only me having this problem?? There must be others.
Anybody??

I'm having this problem. And the sms delay on writting too. It is a real annoyance 'cause I can not write nice poems to my love anymore. :?
But I think would be better to open another thread. So I'm doing it...
PD: the prooooooooooooooooblemmmmmmmmmmmm with words repeating were showing on 2003SE also....
i also get it but only on wm5
annoyance
c'mon, people, nobody with a solution???
I have the same problem.
Some programs in WM5 tend to take up processor cycles, and appear to be causing the problem.
Problem is, there are MANY possible programs (causes).
For me, the most common cause is Internet Explorer. Go to "Memory" in Settings, and close all tasks. Then try using the keyboard again. If it works, then you know that's the cause. Then, you can try to narrow down the program that's the processor hog.
Good luck!
turn down the repeating speed, it is in start>settings>keyboard>repeat settings. set it low so it will not repeat like that
First of all, thanks for your answers!

Yeah, I thought so, anyway I'm having the same problem on the SMS window. It seems to do a redraw (or better, a recalc) every time I push a letter on my keyboard, and it looses words. Took me 'bout 10 times to get the right number on the 'To:' field. I was always getting +3423888888888 etc...

I think you mean: start>settings>system>keyboard>Repeats setting
Doesn't work for me either. The sliders are on its lowest position...
Didn't you guys are having this havoc on your devices??
I don't know what is happening with my baby
Any Ideas??
Maybe a little fix.
Also had a problem about the words repeating thing.
But that time my device is downclocked to 299mhz by that time.
I did a soft reset first then overclocked my device to 531mhz.
after writting a message it seem to have improved significantly.(But it still lags
for a second or half sometimes.)and the words repeating seems to be gone.
But im not totally quite sure.Still need to check it more.And tell you how's it going.
O and lastly im just wondering how come it's soo slow to open a message and switch to other messages?Unlike 2003 se which only takes a second or soo......
I'm using pocket hack master to over/downclock my device.

Re: Maybe a little fix.
Ok, i'll try that....

The reson for the redraw, I think, is the number of characters in the message display at the bottom (i.e 1/168)
If I write an email the redraw problem is not present - if I swith to SMS it comes back...
Yeah, a clever think would be to switch this counter off. I haven't found it on the registry, nor a hack.
My question: if before it was ok, why change it?
Well anyway it is not the only reason for this word repeating problem. It appears on other programs also.
And no solution yet
Haven't had time to try brentchua solution...

What worked for me was to turn off the "suggest words when entering text" option. You'll find it in settings - personal - Input -Word completion...

Yeah, at the end we will have a very advanced phone capable of doing nothing useful because everything has to be turned off... :evil:
(suggest words, bluetooth, AD2P, Wireless, Video frame problems, slow phone answer, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc :evil: :evil:
stop complaining... if u don't like it just downgrade back to 2003 se and everything will work. You should realise that the blue angel wasn't made for WM5. That it works with WM5 is great...but as long as there is no official release u shouldn't complain..... It's just the way it is...

1- I'm complaining because this problem was already happening on 2003se (please, read above).
2- After so many problems with bluetooth, AD2P, etc, don't you think we deserve more attention from the ones that sold this devices to us?
3- If I stay on WM5 is because I realize the BA performs just ok on this OS. I'm using it mainly for work purposes.
4- Complaining is also a way of start doing things later. Something has to come first... :!: I've complained to I-mate about this problem when I had the original 2003se. No answer to date. That's why I decide turn back here and do this wonderful upgrades to my device.
What I find is this forums (as all of them in the 'net) are quite hard to search and find answers. Somehow we should find the answers given and put them in a common place (the good answers!!) i.e. the Wiki!
Anyway, what I'm looking for is answers and share them...
etc-.
ad2p
My keyboard problems seems to have almost dissapeared after turning off the word correction option. It seems is a CPU intensive program or so... Inside Word, however, the problem sometimes arises...

Any ad2p with blueangel and wm5 yet, boys? I can't find anything but this:

But it seems there's still problems...
no avail
I´m having again this problem. I´ve done what have been suggested about changing the registry values for adjusting the priority values... still having this problem.
I use the device for writing a lot and any help would be very handy.
Anyone, please?
Thanks!
problem is fixed in newer roms which pagepool size have been increased.
try the AKU3.5 ROMs

Backlight Defaults to MINIMAL After a Call! And Other Problems.

Good Afternoon
I had a new TyTN II Delivered from orange after mine was nabbed at the weekend, and i locked it remotely. When i make a call now all is hunky dory, but whilst in that call if i go to press START for example nothing will happen, so again i try another way and press X to go to the today screen to then press start, Nothing happens.
I inform my caller ill call them back, and end the call by either pressing "End Call" or pressing the Red Button, and then instantly the Back light defaults to a very low setting, and it did NOT do this on my previous TyTN II.
I have spent a fair while looking through here and google (and also MoDaCo Forums) trying to find a solution. I only know of one other person on MoDaCo who has the problem, and i have tried hard reset on the device too to no avail.
It is a Orange HTC TyTN II, so i have called them also for advice and they know about as much about it as i do.
This is a plea for someone here maybe to lend me a hand and sort this out, otherwise its going to collide with the nearest large surface in the next few days ha ha.
Thanks again for reading, and I hope someone can help me!

screen off
I select don't blank/turn screen off in a call, as I often want to enter dtmfs for mailboxes, or conf calls, downside uses a bit more battery
Hi mgr2003.
I have these options set, and it doesnt make a blind bit of difference unfortunately. I was hoping for some kind of CAB file for a fix? I dont know whats wrong with this device but its not as good as my previous TyTN II.
Sean
This question keeps being asked about once every week since the TyTNII came out. Sorry, but it is getting a bit annoying....
Once again: it´s caused by a bug in the HTC ROM and happens when a device password is set and the backlight times out during a call. Solution: disable the device password or - if you want to keep the password - push the power button twice after a call and you are back in business.....
That would be an all well and good answer but i do not have a password set on my device, so the answer doesnt justify?
Cheers for the Advice though.
Sean
I also have that problem with my tilt....when i am on a call the screen turns off..How can i disable this?
In that case I apologize for my somewhat rude reply. Your problem description just seemed to fit that bug exactly....
Sorry, have no idea what else may be causing that behaviour. Good luck, and if you manage to fix your issue be sure to let us know!
Did you use Kaiser Tweak to disable fast sleep?
Hi
I havent done anything to the device, it is exactly as shipped by OrangeUK. Its only 3 days old now, so not even had a second to do anything but use it.
Sean
I have an Orange TYTN II and this bugged me too.
Download Kaiser Tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
Follow instructions on thread and disable Fast Sleep (advised)
Normal Backlight and Power Settings will still be active

Phone locks when it's "locked" and won't unlock...

First of all hello every one. i have been on the boards for about two months and always found what i needed but i couldn't find a solution to this. My Tilt works fine and all but sometimes when i "lock device" it won't get out the lock mode. screen does respond to my tapping meaning the unlock button at the lower left does change color when i tap it...it won't unlock however. is there any reason for this? any solutions found? i'm running on stock AT&T rom. and they only thing i have installed is some sliding sounds and the TCMP video player.
thank you

Good question and weird problem. I'm yet to read or have come across this issue.
I had this happen only once. A soft reset was required to resolve it. I've got the stock rom also, and a bunch of additional programs loaded.
Would be nice to know the cause, but if it only happens every couple of months, I could live with it.

Sometimes I can't answer the phone with hardware buttons ;/

Hi guys,
I'm quite newbie... I've just moved from SPV c600 to DIAMOND. I've one problem that really makes me mad. At first I must tell that I've tried everything hard reset , than checking if any apps is causing that one by one-with no result. Occasionally I just can't pick up/refuse a calls with HW buttons. I use S2U2(installed yesterday), but this problem I had even before i installed that app. Does anybody of you experienced such an issue? Anybody knows the answer how to fix it? Thanks in advance
Same thing happens to me! It is like HW buttons work whenever they want but not all the time. If you install AEButton Plus you can remap HW buttons, but again the same thing will happen. The changes will work sometimes but not always.
I have a similar problem. Can you answer with soft buttons? Hoping some solution ideas will appear here or in that thread.
Same issue here.
I have added my experience to the above listed thread, and also opened a thread at Howard Forums.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=12088702#post12088702
This has become extremely frustrating.
Sprint has not been very receptive to this either.
what works for me is to lock & unlock the screen.
unless it case is related to another problem which i have experience before as well. But this has gone away since i loaded a different rom from the original htc.
*edit
this should fix it

O2 Stellar (AKA KAiser/TyTynII) Emergency Calls Only

Hi guys. It's been a while
I have a Stellar that is displaying a white screen with blue buttons, like a phone dialler, and is prompting for a password to unlock. I have seen this once before on another Stellar but it's been so long I've forgotten what to do. Does anyone have any ideas how to get round this or get rid of it without doing a hard reset?
I don't really want to lose the data as it's not my device. If I have to rebuild I will but wondered if there was a quick fix for this?
Basically I can reset or switch off and it goes through the O2 splash and then the WM splash too....then this dreaded bloody screen pops up! I initially thought it was an issue with the SIM so I rang O2 and had them check it, all is OK that end.
I've stuck another SIM in and it still does it, so I'm sort of thinking it's hardware? I've also tried various combos of numbers to try and bypass this screen. All I can do is ring 999 which is not clever or funny.
So, I'm all ears. Cheers guys!
Oh, and if you need to know, it's the standard O2 ROM over which we apply our company build using spbclone. Don't know the version but it's not running Home Brew as such - our clone is basically tweaked user settings and GPRS settings
I think the first thing you need to do is to unlock your phone. Search here or they are many sites that will offer you a good deal to do that.
Have you try a hard reset? just to double check. If you see the unlocking # prompt your screen again you will need to unlock the phone.
Unfortunately unlocking is not an option. As no-one else has posted suggestions, and you guys were my best bet, it would appear I'm going to have to re-image it. Poo.
