Hey all - was a regular at Pinstack when I had a BBerry and one of my fellow stackers recommended this site for my new ATT TILT running WM 6...Here goes:
1. Is there any good app out there that will soft reset, power the phone off?
2. My screen light is always on - it dims but is on - how do I get the screen to turn off completly (dark) when not in use?
3. What is the difference between shutting the phone off (in settings), turning the screen off?
Thanks so much,
Hello and welcome to XDA.

Yes, and they can be found HERE. Lots of free applications out there like Auto reset, Reset scheduler etc...choose what suits your need.
2. My screen light is always on - it dims but is on - how do I get the screen to turn off completly (dark) when not in use?

Use the power button to turn your screen off.

Turning the phone off in Comm Manager puts your phone in Airplane mode, i.e you'll not be able to make of receive calls. Turning the screen off puts the phone into hibernation, you save battery and you can definitely make and receive calls.
Read the WIKI for more info.
Thanks -
much appreciated

Hi everyone,
I just switched from the Touch to the Kaiser and have a problem with the device not going into powersave mode. I am NOT talking about the backlight settings but the power settings that turns off the device after x min of inactivity. The device never turns off for some reason.
This was working fine on the Touch. Is this a common problem on the Kaiser ?
Thanks

You don't mention what settings you have it set to. When you tap the battery icon (top bar) and then "advanced", are there time limits set?
If there are - untick the boxes and exit the screen "OK"
Then return to the screen and tick the boxes again and enter time limits exit with "OK"
Personally I always turn to standby manually. WM5/6 often seems to prefer this. WM5 in particular has a habit of not coming out of standby if it goes to standby by itself. The Kaiser seems MUCH more tolerant of this but I just got the habit of doing it manually.

My backlight settings are not set and my Power settings are as follows:
Turn off device if not used for "1 min" is SET for batt power and NOT SET for external power.
I will try unchecking everything and rechecking to see if that helps.
Thanks,
BTW, TouchFlo scrolling is horrible on the Kaiser compared to the Touch especially in the Internet browser. Surprising for a device with so much more memory and horsepower over the Touch...
i had a same problem with my kaiser... Try to hard reset u phone after hard reset you wont see any problem...
Thanks for the suggestions..
I did a hard reset and the problem remains. It is very strange because if I manually power of the phone it does wake up when I call comes in bit stays on after that.
During a call however the screen goes off !!!
I did the recommended reg hack to stop the screen from blacking out during a call but it still does it.
Has there been any updates to the original (HTC) firmware since release ?
Thanks again.
check this:
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
from "1" to "0" will leave the screen on long enough for voicemail use (probably falling back to the backlight/power settings)...

If my Kaiser goes into standby, say on the mail screen, if I hit the power button or slide the slider to turn it back on, it goes back to the today screen.
Is there a way to stop this?
You probably have an application that does this, there are a lot offering this feature.
Gah,
I have kaisertweak, phweaver and HHC installed, could it be one of those?
Password
Are you password protecting your phone? If so, this can cause the Today screen to pop-up after you resume from standby, even if you are not prompted to enter a password.
nope, no password protect - I have WIMP, I *want* anyone who steals it to use it
May it's the setting 'Today timeout:' under Settings/Personal/Today/Items...
have the same problem with my touch. idea anyone? have the HHC installed, maybe it's an option of this program?
still have this problem - driving me crazy! plz help ...
bump old thread bcuz im having this issue now too...& this seems to have never been resolved.
it never used to happen, but i just got an rma w/ a a new rom 162 instead of 157 i was running on the old phone. so i'm assuming its a "feature" set in the new rom, but its annoying. also its frustrating bcuz i cant use that "camera workaround" where you cover the camera, hit the power button to sleep it, then resume...thus im back to stuck w/ a crap camera.
any thoughts/suggestions? thanks.

no, I have unchecked box of Today timeout, but still doesnt working.
When i resume Kaiser from standby (by press On/Off button) then always go to Today screen.
Probably need a soft reset for the shell to pick up the change in settings.

No, this step doesn't working. When I push On/Off button, all aplicaton (for ex. sms/mail) will be minimazed and I'll see only Totay screen
There is no solution?

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...
Just noticed that if the screen on the device gets darker or if the phone "locks" itself (press powerbutton one time), Active Sync disconnects my device. If I wake up the device again it will reconnect instant. Can I do something about this?
I think if you turn the phone face down, it will turn off the screen, but not the active connections.
(I'm not sure this is default behaviour though, I've got a few tweak utils installed and this might be why.)

I have not turn my phone face down, it's on the table with the screen upwards.
Yes, but the solution is to turn it face down while it's connected. It should then turn off the screen, but not the ASync-Connection.

What do you mean? I push this button mostly for turning it off. screen off and standby is the same for me.
I mean when i put i on the table or wait a few seconds the screen comes back on wihtout pushing the ON/OFF button again

You can install TouchLockPro as locking solution.
You can enable debug logging of TouchLockPro, so maybe that gives insight why your phone is awakening, by checking the log file \TouchLockPro.log.txt.
