Is there a way to wake the phone from its sleep mode without opening up the keyboard? That's the only way I can figure out.
Thanks!
A quick press of the power button on the side will wake it up.
This is written in the instruction manual.
You should have read that before using the phone.
reaffect power button
is-it possible to use another button instead of the power button in order to power on/off the screen?
Yes - if you disable the setting that stops all the other buttons from waking the device up (to avoid answering calls and making calls etc when its in your pocket).
man that power button is hard to push though. am i the only one who has trouble finding it by touch alone? i was thinking of carving out an indentation in the casing to help my thumb 'find' it, but thought better of it....

what i do is set the keys to lock when the phone is locked then use s2u to serve as the lock. I havent accidently called anyone yet so i think its the quickest way to resolve the issue not to mention i like the way it makes my phone look

I saw someone did a simple mod to make it easier to find. Dont remember where i saw it. if it find it'll post a link.
but what they did was bought a little "nub" from a craft store and glued it to the power button to make it stick out more so it was easier to find. It looked pretty good and probably did help in this situation. I've thought about doing the same.
That said, I essentially did what Neva said in the last post. I use S2U2 (Slide2Unlock2) to lock the phone. And I set my phone to be "awakened" by any key press. And S2U2 is config'd to always run on wakeup. So I can't make a phone call by accident. it works great.
You can set the phone to awaken on any key press by setting here:
Settings | System | Key Lock | Do not lock buttons
Here's the link to the Power Button mod...

Amazing what you can find if you search the forum.
Hi guys,
I've been reading throught the forums and cant find any posts on this so if I've missed them I do apologise...
1) when in a phone call, after about 30 secs the screen completely switches off, this is very frustrating when speaking to a call centre because I can't choose a number, the only way to wake it up is to press the call answer button again (muting the call) and then pressing it again so that I can hear again, I've checked my settings and changed the backlight and the power off to 3 mins but it still happens after 30 secs approx.... any thoughts?
2) I have iGo Sat Nav 2006 which worked perfectly on my TYTN on a bluetooth gps receiver, now on the TYTN II it can't find the internal GPS receiver, am I supposed to map the receiver to a virtual com port or something?
Thanks for your time guys.

I think the Kaiser Twaeks utility in the forum sticky ahs an option for this, but if you want the specifics, try searching as I think it is just a registry setting.
I think the GPS is set up to use COM4, but I am not much help bsdies this. Searching should also get you some answers for this.
thanks, I'll take another look.
Actually... I have one other small problem that I've just noticed...
if you choose to lock all buttons except the power button the phone still switches itself on if you nudge the keyboard slider!
is there a way to turn that off?
thanks guys
Terry
As jgermuga said,
Kaiser Tweaks will solve your screen and power issues.
The internal GPS handler is on COM4 4800Bd, you should be able to configure this within your Mapping App.
Hi guys,
I just saw the screen disable function when I downloaded the Kaiser Tweak... sorry for posting guys...
Thanks for the info on the GPS, I'll give it a try later.
Cheers

I've just seen what I did wrong... I went into External GPS (thinking that this was a confliction) and changed the COM port to say "None", I have fixed it now.
I cant believe how dumb I've been lately... this phone is now fantastic, shame I was too stupid to realise! lol
Thanks guys for all your help... I'll wake up later

The workaround for this one is to rotate the volume dial...
Does anybody experience a lag when using iGO on the tilt? It seems that it lags to move when you do and when you make a turn, it doesn't make it till a few secs later?
Another way to power the screen back on after the 30 second automatic power-off occurs is to ummm... press the power button
I bought a Touch Diamond recently.
But I can't resolve a problem with the fast dormont display during call function.
I tried to modify the setting in the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
I change the DWORD Data from 1 to 0.
But after a soft reset, I still have the problem that screen turns off quickly during calls.
It bothers me when I need to use the keypad during a call
to enter ext. number or to follow a vocal operation.
Does any one have the solution here?
Thanks a lot.
Craig Shih
My problem is now solved. Any one who needs the solution can go to post#19 and post#29.
But it needs more tests and feedbacks because I don't know how it works for other roms.
No body in the diamond forum knows how to solve this problem.
Maybe this is a very very difficult problem to solve.
No one knows how to sovle it until now.
Hope a real master comes to help us.
diamond bugs
yes it's really sad to have a expensive mobile without a support even the htc don't have a solution what kind of support we had ??? lucky us we had a website like XDA developer to help us tnx to the dude who put up all the tweaks and update....try to flash the euro rom it will solve the prob.blank screen during call...
as soon as phone call is received, just press on joystick centre button shortly. Display will not go off then. Simple enough.
if before you'll make the call ypu'll take out the stylus, it won't go off, and it will automatically start a note.this setting is in phone option last tab...
remember: it goes to sleep the moment you hold it against your ear (or your hand or anything in the front).
if you set the registry right it will stay on as long as you don't hold anything against the front.

that's an additional and necessary side effect since he only needs the display to stay on so he can use the keypad without pressing extra buttons.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I tried this method and then the call will be on hold immediately
until I press the central button again.
But it surely keep the screen on during calls though I have to press the central button twice.

Thank you for your suggestion.
It's a good functionality for diamond users.
But sometimes I want to use the keypad during calls rather than to make a note with stylus.
For example when we call for some credit card toll free service,
we might have to key in ext. numbers or ID numbers or card numbers etc.

Err... personal view..
If there is a solution.. it would be great.. but just in case, there isn't :
I have gotten used to it.
now if it is to enter extension numbers or whatever.. I just start off by pushing the center dial once. The key pad is there.. I get on with entering the ext. number or the Account numbers..
Same call - next time I have to enter other details, hit the center thing again.. and the key pad is there..
It's not that much of a hassle.
Of course a solution would be great, but even if there isn't, one does get used to it, in time.
why do you want it to stay on.
i noticed that when it stays on during a call, my ear is opening programs.
which i really do not want.
if you need to use the phone during a conversation just press the on button.

You are right, it 's not a big deal.
Maybe it's only my preference with mobile phone or somebody else's.
But if we can choose which way to go, that would be better.

This registry setting will disable your screen from turning off when making a call:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Backlight\LightSensorPollingEnable set to 0
It disables the lightsensor so it doesn't react when you're putting the phone next to your ear.
It worked for me, so I hope it will work for you as well.

Hello. That registry entry solved that problem, but still after a few seconds the light turns off, even if I set it to turn off after 5 minutes in the Power settings. Is there any registry "tweak" to increase the backlight duration during a phone call?

Yes I can. Look at this post, point 8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2278799&postcount=1
This regkey is also mentioned a few times in this thread.
See also point 17 of that post.
Done.
This is what I did
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatteryTimeoutInCall set to 0
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatterySuspendTimeoutInCall to 0
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall to 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone Sleep to 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LightSensorPollingEnable to 0
That done..
Restart the phone (I waited for a minute or so)
Backlight remains on now.
Then, just for the hell of it.. went back into the registry and set back the default values for:
lightsensorpollingenable
Phone sleep
Fast dormant
Checked again.. still works.
If one or two people could confirm that this works, we could finally put a SOLVED thing to this nonsense and get it over with.
my TyTN II can't co to sleep - when I press the POWER button it goes to sleep and after 3 seconds it wakes again

Looks like a software or a regedit is keeping it from doing so. Try resetting the device and see what happens.

I did a soft reset - nothing
I did a HARD RESET- nothing
I changed the rom - nothing , it still wakes up
This has nothing to do with ROM Dev. Moved to General
I don't have a clue what it is
Ok i have had this problem before. But it is when i put the phone in universal car cradle. It hits the camera button half way so when i put it to sleep, it wakes back up after about 3 seconds. Make sure none of the buttons are partially stuck.
Frank
yes , now it has no autofocus

UPDATE !!!!!
are you running igo8 in the background? Turning the phone off while running an *ahem* type of Igo8 may cause certain on/off issues...
I'm not running anything
Sorry bout the late reply. I work during the day so i didnt see this till now.
What i would suggest is turn on the camera and goto the settings. Make sure it asks for full press. Then attempt to take a picture, by half pressing the camera button, as this will make it auto focus. If the little broken square in middle of screen doesnt show, then it has something to do with your problem.
My problem wasnt an actual problem but rather an observation that i thought could help.
Ive just done a couple tests on my phone and the camera button is the only thing that causes this issue. I hold it half way as to not activate the camera and then turn the phone off to sleep, but after precisely 3 seconds, it wakes back up
Hope this helps you find it. As for solving it, i don't know. Possibly a few harder presses of the camera button???? Please, though, dont take what i am saying as Gospel as it may be something totally unrelated
Frank
i tried the thing with the setting for the full and half press and nothing , it was the same - the camera shoots ONLY WITH A FULL PRESS !
The good news is I took it for a repair
Hope u get it back soon with minimal repairs needed
Frank
more bad news - it turnd out that the camera button is realy stuck on auto focus but the realy bad thing is I CAN'T FIND A SPEAR CAMERA BUTTON
help me pleaseeee !!!!
I have this exact problem...press power button--3 seconds later phone back on again. Have flashed 6 different ROM's and it has not removed this issue. It is not any of my software because this remains before I add any of my software after a flash.....as per OP i am unable to do a hard reset.
I have done many searches on the forums and continually come up with the 10 second backlight fix....this is not the same issue.
If some of the senior members could please help I would greatly appreciate it.

My finger hurts since I have to press the power button (small and flat) too many times a day to wake the diamond from sleep. you can argue that I can set the phone not to sleep but sleep is a must to save battery. using all keys to wake it up can cause any keys to be easily hit by accident, which drains battery fast too. Power button is meant to be used rarely, like the PC reset button.
is there a better way to wake up the diamond? is it possible to configure ONLY the OK (center) button to do this? like the iphone, you just press the OK button. it is big and does not hurt as much?
How exactly do you keep pressing the power button till your finger hurts?

hit it once does not hurt but every time it go to sleep and I have to hit the button to wake it up. that is when it hurts.
let say I set it to go to sleep every 40 sec. how many time does it go to sleep in an hours? at least couple times.

I've found that the pressure required on the Power Button can depend on the particular Diamond. I've owned two US Diamonds and the first had a difficult Power Button while the second was much easier. Either way, another option to turn it on is to pull out the stylus a short distance - this will wake the Diamond as well. As far as using the center of the D-Pad - I've no idea . . .

even though using the stylus is less painful but it takes more steps: get finger nail in the gap, pull it out, then push it back in. if you do these steps many time over an hour, it would be tidious task.
On my diamond responsivity of the power button depends strongly on where I'm pressing it. You can try to press it different ways and find out where you get most tactile feedback of the micro-switch. I have the impression that for me it is when I'm pressing from behind, more on the left of it.

Yes, but other keys such as volumn, home, back, answer and end key are also unlocked. Anyway, there are all hardware keys available to press opening the phone in additon to the default on/off button. I am now using this option.
ya but they will complain that all the buttons are unlocked. that method is just TOO easy.
edit: OMG i was right. and too slow. hahaha
maybe next time the phone can get u a beer or work for you...man...
Surely this is the Answer..?
OK, the way I see solving this is to have the phone wait longer before auto-locking.
To sort this, go to the following..
Start\Settings\System\Power\Advanced..
Go to 2nd option - It's a tick Box labelled "Turn off Device if not used for.." and adjust it to suit..
This is found in the manual..?
Cheers,
Phil.

well, it´s maybe less a matter of laziness than of speed, my last phone was a slider ... slide, it wakes up, slide, it goes to sleep - superquick
with the diamond it takes one step more:
I use the option "do not lock buttons" in combination with S2U2, most often I press the ok button and slide to unlock
to put the phone to sleep, I press the power button or use gyrator: I just have to turn the phone face down, than the screen goes off (with S2U2 locking)
hm, maybe I should have bought the diamond pro, but diamond is sexier
