Just upgraded to WM 6.1 and love it but it seems that I have to press the power button a few times to turn on my Tilt. Is this an issue or just my phone?
Is there anything else I just add to take advantage of the 6.1?
Mine blinks sometimes, or doesnt come on with the 1st press. MANY others seem to have this issue.
I had this issue using ROMeOS v4.5.3 release. I upgraded to ROMeOS v4.6 and the problem went away.
I never had this problem until I tried to use SPB Diary. And what was happening was that the program was so slow to fire up, if I hi the button I was usually impatient and would hit it again too soon and it'd turn on/off.
If I hit the button and left it for 3+ seconds it'd usually turn on.
Needless to say, I uninstalled it. It would be an okay stand-alone program, but it's too slow for the Today screen.
Mine just blinks once in a while (Official Orange 6.1 ROM).
Not sure if its a third party issue though.
This is a known issue but I thought it only affected the AT&T 6.1 ROM and cooked ones based on it (e.g. NATF's). Holding the power button for 1/2 second as opposed to just tapping it seems to be 100% effective. After a while you get used to turning on the phone that way. Hopefully a real fix is coming.
I have the same problem too - ^ good looks on the quick fix blue_94_trooper.

My Tilt is my very first WM device, so hopefully I'm not completely clueless here. I had a few hangs a week on my Tilt, so I thought I'd go ahead and flash the HTC ROM to it. Since then, however, it still hangs occasionally and seems to be much more laggy than it used to be. A host of new annoyances has popped up too. Hopefully just little reg tweaks, but I have to ask.
I don't want to overwhelm with a laundry list, so I'll just try and get these solved one at a time. Obviously I'd like some advice on the performance as well, but here's the first annoyance:
Under the "Power -> Advanced" tab, I have it set to "turn off device" after 10 minutes "on external power." Similarly, under the "Backlight -> External Power" tab, I have it set to turn off not being used for 5 minutes.
So why, I wonder, when I charge my phone at night, does the phone shine brightly all throughout the night?!?
Thanks for being so helpful.
they stay on when they are charging by default. it's how they work
Just hit your sleep button. That's what I do

Thanks - I've been hitting sleep up 'til now. It's just that under the Tilt ROM, the thing used to put itself to sleep while plugged in just fine. Now it doesn't. Oh well, I guess I can just hit the button.
So my next problem: On the HTC Home plugin, under the "applications" tab, there's a button that rotates the screen. When I hit that, however, it rotates the wrong way - so that if the keyboard is open, the screen is upside down. Similarly, when I start a slideshow "optimized for landscape images," the slideshow starts "upside down."
My tilt is upside down, too!
Hey, did you ever figure that out? My tilt is upside down now in landscape mode, too. I have the Dutty v3 Dual Touch on there but I swear it worked for awhile... I installed the HTC Home customizer and ran the kaiser tweak program so maybe something in there messed me up...
Did you ever get yours fixed?
So I have the new official AT&T WM 6.1 ROM. When I hit the power button most of the time the screen turns on but quickly turns back off. When I hit the power button again it stays on. Anyone know how to fix this?
Same exact thing happes with mine when i take it out of standby with the power button. This never happened with 6.0 and just started with 6.1
Me too. But, does not happen every time.
No clue how to fix it here; just adding my voice to the chorus. I thought it might have been because I finally dropped mine. Now I guess it might be something with the 6.1 AT&T ROM.
Second thought: It's not consistent with mine either. It seems to happen more often when my phone has been "off" (read: in standby) for a while.
Mine seems to be inconsistent and more likely to happen if it has been in standby for a while as well . Does anyone with a tilt with AT&T WM6.1 not have this problem?
This issue was introduced in one of the recent AT&T builds before it became official. There is no known fix right now.
This problem is really annoying. Any fixes yet?
mine is 6.1 and do something like that:
when the phone is on standby, and I press the "power" button so it awakes, the screen turn on, then off and go on again by it self, this happens EVERY time but only when the phone its locked. I try it a few times with the phone unlocked and it didnt happend. By un lock i mean the screen and buttons lock.
Something that I've notice, is than, when my phone was 6.0 and I click the "lock" button, the screen DIMs automaticaly, and since I upgrade it to 6.1 it doesnt dim , I lock it, and the screen stays on and exactly the same brightness. I dont know If I have to setup something on the phone to dim when its locked or what, i just cant find it...
upssssss, 2ble post...

I upgraded to 6.1 yesterday and have the exact same problem. It is very annoying. I am using the Official 3.28 version of 6.1. I have also tried version 3.34 but still get the problem.
still no solutions?
Alright my At&t tilt front face buttons started to not work (i could only use the arrow buttons and the ok button) and my keyboard stopped working but the arrow keys would. i upgraded the rom after calling htc for help. that didnt fix a thing and now today none of the buttons work. i keep getting the PTT to come up and ask for installation and edfc keeps typing themselves on the screen. so idk if it is a software problem or if the hard ware is malfunctioning.
Damn, I got the same problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?
the same problem here... :/
same problema here.
i already tried another radio, another SPL, another ROM and nothing.
any idea?
Just updating.
Yesterday my tytn started working perfectly again, but today the same problem is occuring. I did nothing, so probably is really a hardware issue.
I have a similar problem.
Send/End + Soft Keys + Keyboard are not working. The issue is not resolved yet?
Wow, this problem just happened to me as well. I've searched everywhere on the net and couldn't find anything.
So is this a pervasive issue? Anyone with any hint as to what might be the source of the problem?
Originally, I thought it the PTT button was stuck in the PRESSED position because the phone behaves as if this button was constantly being pressed. For example my PTT button was mapped to Voice Recorder if the PTT button was held down. The voice recorder constantly comes on everytime I turn the phone on!!

I have the exact same problem.
The only change I recently made (two weeks ago) was installing tom tom navigator.
First I thought it was a virus and I installed bull guard, but with no success.
It opens/closes the start menu every second, no buttons work apart from the directional buttons and it writes "edfc" in my textmessages when I turn on/off the screen with the power button.
Most of the time(!) this irritating opening/closing of the start menu only happens after I first turn off/on the screen (with the power button).
I saw this problem described in a post dating back almost two years ago. Someone ought to know the answer to our problems. What does HTC say about it?
I have been lucky and not had this issue yet; but I would recommend starting by flashing the stock rom from HTC. Then hard reset; that will clear everything back to original. If you still experence this after that, then you have a hardware issue. Good luck
This just happened to me this morning. I cant use any buttons and nothing is popping up. This is soo wierd cause the phone was just sitting there overnight!!
Me too...
I have been going nuts with this issue for a couple months now. Makes the phone unusable half the time. I am so disappointed to find that a ROM reload doesn't fix it!! I remapped the 6 key to none and that sort of helps but it was mapped to Voice record before and it would constantly record memos until all the memory was gone in the phone and then it would all crash from there. So frustrating.
I too get the edfc message after I reboot....
It really seems like a virus the way it acts but I guess if it is a hardware issue then it's not a virus.
Anyone ever figure anything out with this? Nothing has changed on my phone recently.
Still an issue?
Holy Toledo fellow Tilt Users. Have you ditched your half-functioning touchscreen, or have we figured out how to solve this issue.
Recently I FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM!
I am going to do what was suggested (original HTC Rom & hard reset) and will let you know if I get the rest of my keyboard back...
All buttons except for power and... NOT WORKING
Outside "Enter" buttons work but they are mapped to Windows key. ? Weird. For some reason the kaiser thinks it is something else. I do not know how it got this way, but there must be a way to convince the hardware of the existence of all my other buttons. The entire keyboard does not work.
Hard Reset & stock HTC Rom did not help. I was surprised that I could hard reset it at all since the two soft buttons are unresponsive to software.
Anyone figure this out yet?
Hi, I got the same issue today as well - Has anyone got rid of this?
I don't know if it's just the rom i'm using but i've noticed that 80% of times when I press the power button to take my phone out of sleep, it turns on and then goes off about half a second later, and I have to press it again to keep it on.. is this a known bug?
It's not just you
I've been seeing the same behavior with mine, and I'm running the stock ROM.
Same issue here ever since flashing stock WM 6.1 ROM.
You all are not alone...
I couldn't find the thread after a quick search, but this is a known issue of the phone, not the customized roms. About 5 or 6 months ago, i read a post saying that HTC was trying to figure out a solution. Perhaps someone will post a better reply than mine.
I have this exact same issue.... I am using the stock 6.0 rom still (don't laugh)... It also does it when I receive a TXT message (and it is sleeping) and anything else that would normally power it on from sleep mode... I am glad to see that I am not the only one experiancing this....
My phone did not always do this... but has been for quite some time.... If I am not mistaken, it was after one of my "ravamps" of the phone... more specifically, I applied a reg edit so I coudl reprogram the PTT button... Any of the rest of you do this? I changed the PTT so on a short push it does Voice command, and long press it loads TomTom (in my mind, PTT is a french button "Pour TomTom" lol).. Anyways... Let me know folks
Stock ROM. Same problem.
I think the problem is in "device lock" plugin on today screen.
After I disabled that plugin and stopped using it- it stopped to flash the screen.
Is it the same with other devices?
I've never used the device lock today plugin and I have always had this issue. 6.1 stock rom.
i noticed recently that if i press the power button, it sometimes takes a really long time to turn the screen on. i know the hardware works because the backlight in the soft buttons turns on immediately, but the screen remains black for up to 10 seconds. this happens rarely. however, im fairly sure it isnt a software problem because ive wiped completely and installed a fresh rom and the problem seems to persist. perhaps i just recently noticed, and the problem was always there? does anyone else have this problem?
three threads above yours.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681723
could be a hardware issue.
Mine does this every few days.. I am still on the stock 2.1 rom.
Mine also does this, I only noticed it after flashing Cyanogenmod 5.0.6. so I thought it might have been a bug. I also assumed it was a bug because the phone seems to act strangely when you are touching the screen and try to hit the power button.
Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue, I've had the phone since release.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
It happens to me as well, but very infrequently. Maybe every few days... so it doesn't bother me enough to worry about it.
I'm on stock ROM btw.
I am leaning towards thinking this may be software related. A few minutes ago I was at the lock screen and tried about 50 times (yes I waited long enough after each press) and simply could not get the screen to turn off. I then tried long pressing the power button and, sure enough, each time it would bring up the shutdown menu (yes, over the lock screen). Must be a bug right?
Hmm, my problem's slightly different. Around half of the time, I have to press the power button twice to turn the screen on. Sometimes, pressing it the first time doesn't turn the screen on, had to press the power button firmly again.
This started only recently. On stock n1 and bought it during feb.
that means that your power button is dying, like many others' (including mine)
this is the first time, it takes 2 clicks to work....than it will increase.
Expect a repair soon...
Well i am having the issue other way around. i am not been able to put my phone in stand by mode by clicking on it and it is do a hard press then i get options to shut off the phone
any suggestions what might be causing it ?
I'm happy I haven't received this problem yet

I am having the same issue and i wonder if you were able to find the cause for it. I have the same rom as you do on your phone

I have a similar problem. When I unplug the N1 from the charger, the screen comes on showing the lock screen, and I can't get it to turn off. If I unlock the phone, however, then the power button works normally. I don't think it was doing this until recently (I bought it in January the first day it was offered and am running the stock update1 ROM).
So here is my theory if the power button is a problem then it needs to act up both ways and not only one way. right now i can put the phone in sleep mode but i can wake it up. i will post the issues on the development forum and might be able to find an asnswer to it
So seems like the issues is because of Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 because since i have flashed another rom it is working just fine. i will be doing some more testing before i can be certain
Another problem I am experiencing is when I long press the power button, it pulls up the phone options menu but also turns off the screen. It's extremely frustrating as it does this quite frequently; right after I power on the screen again and unlock the device it works properly every time - so much so that I am convinced this is a software issue.
I am now running froyo, rooted with Cyan's minor root patch. I can also say for sure I experienced the same problem on CM 5.0.6, but it definitely occurred less frequently.
Am I alone here?

I just started having this problem after upgrading to 2.2.
I have this every so often. But sometimes wonder if it is flyscreen doing it
You guys should all just be running the app no lock to take the power autumn out of the equation.
Ahhhhh! I just need trackball wakeup!
I have a similar issue where my screen will turn on but will be unresponsive. When i turn it on and off, the backlight jut comes and goes. If it times out it won't turn back on for a bit(the backlight will come on still).
I just wiped my phone, hoping that'll fix it since it only started happening on a regular basis since I updated to Froyo
