When I'm trying to call/receive a call, the screen is really messed up. Nothing appears, I get the start menu at the top which says "Phone" on it, the soft key labels at the bottom, and then the part of the screen where the dialer/call status/all that stuff is supposed to be just shows up white. I think it may have started when I tried to answer a call while my phone was locked, or maybe after I changed around the call settings with KaiserTweak so it wouldn't sleep/fast sleep during calls. I reverted those settings to the default, restarted my phone, and still no luck.
I don't really have anything that valuable on there so I'm not opposed to just re-flashing my ROM, but does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Well I've had my Tilt for a week now and I have been frustrated completely with the Phone App.
First of all, when I am calling a tone prompted location where you have to press the keys to get somewhere (611, corporate voicemail, etc), some of the time the phone will go into "hold" when i press the keys.
Secondly, after a call that i have pressed the keys for tone operation, the phone app will not completely close. the screen will stay half dim and the start bar and task panes are locked out. i can't access any of the icons at the top of the screen. the only button available is the task manager which shows no programs running.
i can pretty much replicate the 2nd problem consistently. does anyone else have this problem? Please try to call into a company say even 611, go through all the tone prompts and see if the phone app closes appropriately afterwards. make sure you are on the phone long enough for the screen to automatically dim.
the only way for me to get past this is to softboot so i can get access to the start menu again. but i'd rather not have to softboot after every phone call =T
Thanks!
Same problem here, any help would be great.

disable the lock thing where you have to enter a pin - i think its a bug in the rom
Same problem - but if press the on/off button for the screen twice I do have again access to all icons. Not nice but ....
yeah i was messing around with the phone last night and realized that it has to do with phone lock and figured out if you press the power button to put it to sleep and press it again to wake it up, everything is normal again. it was just a fluke how i found out but i'm glad to know that this isn't only my problem. i was about to do another hard reset on the phone.
i called ATT techsupport and they told me it might be the simcard. can other Tilt owners chime in here. is this a ROM problem or could it be related to a faulty sim?

Hi
I don't know if anyone has experienced this or has a fix for it.
I picked up my Tytn II last week and I must say it's a cracking piece of kit. I seem to be experiencing a problem though.
If I say for example make a voice call and then hang up. I find that the word "phone" replaces the start menu in the top left hand corner of the screen. This wont default back to start and effectively makes the whole top row of icons inoperable. Ie battery status volume control etc. I have found this problem when using other apps, ie calendar, so it's not specific to just making voice calls.
The only way to get the top row of icons working again is to do a soft reset
All icons not on the top row seem to work ok (apart from keylock)
Any ideas ??

Dont soft reset... just hit the power button to go into standby, then hit it again and the device will work again.
Hey presto it worked. Thanks for that. It's a bit annoying having to do that though.

Its not a fix... its just a workaround.
When you end calls. Try first pressing the end call button, then the ok button.
Ok, first off, I'm well aware that there are many topics that appear to cover what I'm asking about. I've searched them. Second, I know where the "Sounds and Notifications" option is, and have been there. I'll get to that further down.
I've had this issue since I've gotten the phone. I'm not entirely sure if it's due to apps installed or not, since it's been doing when I've had some installed and when I didn't. I have tried hard resetting my device as well. My phone will play the sound of an incoming text, flash the light, all that just fine... for the first five or so texts. After that, the phone will wake up, it will show the notification on screen, but it WON'T play the sound, nor flash the light.
Naturally, the first time I noticed this, I went into the options menu to see what was up. All the settings were right. I hit the play button to test the file... nothing. I hit it again, nothing. I hit stop, then play, and it started up. Then my notifications were ok again, for about five or so texts. If my phone is on vibrate, it's the same case. It'll vibrate for the first five or so, then stop until I go into the settings.
I don't have a clue what could be causing this, so any and all help or suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Today I went into location and security and I changed the Screen unlock setting to "none"....
Immediately the screen went off and has stayed off. Opening the keyboard, pressing the on button, restarting does nothing. I wonder if anyone else has done the same thing, It's hardly an obscure setting.
Anyone have any idea what i should do?
I'd say the best choice would be to do a hard reset and start all over.

I would call tech support, return it to the store and shoot an email off to moto-dev. Obvious software problem motorola should be made aware of.
Hey, I have been having the same issue, although mine doesn't seem to have been from changing a setting. It seems more random than anything else. So yeah sometimes the phone will just randomly restart (this last time while I was playing Air Attack HD) and then it will get stuck at the Droid Eye boot screen, eventually the screen will time out and then the phone is pretty much dead after that, except I can still receive notifications and even phone calls, but I can't act on any of them. The screen won't turn on no matter what I do. After pulling the battery and restarting, it keeps doing this same thing. i have factory reset 3 times now and it's getting annoying. I'm trying to keep as many apps off as possible. Does this sound like your issue? I'm going to keep searching the forum, and maybe start up a thread on this issue.

Having the issue with the unresponsive screen. Screen also goes out while making calls. This means I can't mute or put on speaker as well as select options when calling an automated system. I have tried multiple times to access the service menu using 277634#*#, but the phone just sits there. I even installed a different dialer and it still does the same thing. As I understand it, the phone should go into the service menu after pressing the second "#". I tried hitting the phone button, but again the screen goes black. I am using the basic version of Nova Launcher. Any help on getting my phone working would be really appreciated.
