Sorry if this has been discussed already, but is there a way to disable the Start Menu, and for that matter EVERYTHING but the dialpad while on the phone? I used KaiserTweak to keep my phone awake, but now everytime i go to use the dialpad while im on the phone, my ear has managed to open the start menu or some program and its very annoying .
TIA
I just knock the power button to disable the screen - then flick it on again if I need to tap keys.
I tried this but it doesnt really work. The phone seems to turn itself back on at some point during the call, and then when i go to hang up or use the keypad, i have google maps or some other app opened up. Major pain in the butt. If someone has a way to make the dialer app "always on top" or disable the start menu and/or taskbar when the dialer is open, that would be awesome for me.
by default, the screen is suppose to shut off after a few seconds while you are on a call. Have you made a reg hack to change this? or are you suing a cooked ROM? Most cooks will turn off this feature. Also, it's the first option in Kasier Tweak.
i've tried with it on and off. The problem seems to be that if you hit the wheel on the side (to adjust the volume) the screen turns back on...so if you want to adjust the volume, you have to pull the phone away from your face first, and then hit the power button again when you're done.
I have a couple of this I would like to change and don't know how. first how do I keep the phone from going into standby mode. it seems to take about 5 minutes for the phone to enter a standby mode and I was hoping to turn that off or extend that time.
next, whenever I use the phone the screen turns off which is a pisser if I need to use the keypad to navigate a menu system for voicemail or to connect to an operator. can I change that behavior so that the screen stays on during calls?

For the first item that you are talking about...I don't know how to change it longer than 5 min. Honestly I would not change it from 5 minutes unless you don't care about battery life.
For the second part I use a program called KaiserTweak. This enables my screen to be on during calls, which is very handy for looking up contacts, etc.
There is also a lot of other tweak that are associated with this program.
To use KaiserTweaks...simply place the two files into a folder on your Kaiser or storage card. Click on the .exe file. After selecting the tweak you want to use, simply turn off your phone and turn it back on. Don't perform a soft reset or else your tweaks won't be enabled. Hope this helps.
Below is the post concerning KaiserTweaks.

I find this rather annoying, but don't know how to adjust it.
When making a call, sometimes you have to press through prompts like, 1, 2 , 3 etc. But after listening to the prompts, I find the phone screen to be OFF. I know that it's a power saving feature. However, it's quite annoying when to have press other keys to continue. I have to press the power button to get the screen to come back on.
Secondly, when connected to a call, the dialpad goes to the status screen by default. I have to change to keypad as well.
So here are my questions:
1) Anyway to change the amount of time before the screen blanks out while in a call?
2) Any other way to turn on the screen quickly without have to push the power button (which is difficult to push BTW)?
3) Any way to make the dialpad go to the numbers by default after a call is connected?
Thanks for any inputs!

KaiserTweak should solve some of your problems, if you have installed it.

isnt that was the fast sleep and the sleep function in KT does??
Speaking of dialpads,
Do any of you guys having problems with inaccurate digit presses? I mean, I try to press 2, and 0 gets pressed instead, or other adjacent and non-adjacent numbers. Quite annoying really. Anyone experienced the same?
My tilt's EDGE and 3G connection automatically turn on, sometimes when i wake up, it's on for 9 hours, why is that? and i can't find a way to fix it. And when i put the tilt away for a few min, the screen will automatically shut down to save on energy, and i will have to press the POWER button once to have the screen back up. Can we change this setting? it is not very handy. thanks for the help. i am a noob.

I had the same problem,
Disabled push email.
Problem went away.
I have a similar problem. Is there a way to see what application is opening the data connection. I had email set to download once a day, so it was not my email. Can't think what else it may be...
My Kaiser is set up to request a PIN to access phone services. If I use comm manager to switch off the phone reception then switch it back on again, I don't get the screen up asking me to enter the PIN. If I press the green 'call' button it comes up then. It used to bring up the enter PIN screen as soon as I switched the phone mode back on but it's stopped doing it automatically - seems to coincide with setting an option in SPB backup to auto enter the pin after a reset (which coincidentally didn't work!)
Can anyone think of a way to get the PIN screen to come back on like it used to?
Thanks
