I've had my Kaiser a few days now, here's a few problems that i've had... anyone had anything similar?
- Windows Live Today addon stops working... can't scroll left or right
- HTC plugin goes fuzzy... can go into programs/settings, but nothing actually loads up when clicking on it
- After using the phone, the screen goes dim... so i have to manually reset the brightness
- D-pad stops working after using the phone (can't scroll through TXTs/Emails etc)
In most cases i have to reboot to fix :S
I was hoping WM6 would be a lot stabler... but so far it doesn't seem all that great :S
Hi,
I haven't had the problems you have, not even heat yet as has been discussed. Perhaps it's because I am not taxing the unit yet.
However, I have not been able to synch my PC to the Kaiser to yet. Synching pictures, music, TV is not an issue because Windows Media Player is working. It's the Contacts, Notes, Tasks that I cannot synch.
When I open the Windows Mobile Device Center the Connection Settings window opens up with the Allow USB & Bluetooth Connections radio buttons. When I hit OK with both Radio buttons selected (USB & Bluetooth), that's it, the window closes and there's no Windows Mobile Device Center that opens up. Task Manager shows no open Windows Mobile Device Center application but does show a Windows Mobile Device Center process, wmdcBase.exe.
What am I missing here? Please help, 4 days & I still do not have my Contacts in this phone.
This is a duplicate post from lower down.
Cheers,
Phil

Screen goes dim and the start menu does not work. This is because of the password pin set on your phone. If you deactivate it, it should be fine. It's definitely a bug on the Kaiser. There are registry hacks for this, but I have no idea how to get around it.
regarding the screen dimming, I assume this is with the HTC ROM.
My phone has been fine with the latest two AT&T ROMs (the first ROM had this prob, the screen would dim after 10 seconds). You can temporarily fix the problem by resetting the Backlight timeout Settings.. Backlight... Battery Power tab) to something like 1 minute. It will keep getting reset every once in a while though... You can also turn off the backlight timeout completely (unchecking the box), which seems to work longer.
BTW it seems to be a problem with the HTC Home plugin. When I installed the original AT&T ROM but didn't install the HTC Home today plugin, the problem did not happen.
I have seen the D-Pad problem in Outlook only - that is, hang up a call, then d-pad doesn't work to navigate thru email. Once email is open the D-Pad works... Solution is to kill (click x button) Outlook.

Same here, screen dims and startmenu does not work. Issue is I can't deactivate pw (corp security pollicy for pushmail client).
Could someone elaborate a bit on the possible reg hack that could fix this?
Thanks...
Hi
I made a small app that helps overcome this issue by making the phone usable again after a phone call.
You can get install instructions from here with a file a few posts down: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=258974&view=findpost&p=841951
Hopefully it will be fixed by HTC soon so it's just a short term work around.
Regards
Phil
Thanks
That works, thank you very much for your effort!
We'll wait for the HTC fix.

You need Outlook installed to sync those.

i had a 3g connection with google maps running in background (gps was accurate within 10 feet) and was playing namco's ms. pac-man on the tytn ii rom when device locked up mid game. Power button would put phone into standby, but it was locked up besides. i had to soft-reset.
Cool, do HTC release updated ROMs via their website?
Also, ive had the home plugin going fuzzy and locking up quite a few times now.... definitley more problems introduced since i enabled the 'lock' feature :S
No call button??
On the dialpad is no call button only videocall button???
Am i blind?........
With my phone the 'ok' button (not on the keyboard) doesn't always respond (well). Either to confirm a adjustment or to minimize/close an screen
I have found a pretty simple workaround for the issue with the screen going dim and the start menu not working after a call.
What appears to be happening is that the device is actually locking the screen yet the keypad to unlock is not displayed. So the start menu and such think they are locked. I found that if i simply power my device off and back on the password screen/unlock screen shows up. Unlock it and you are fine from there.
Not really a fix but it will save you a reboot.
Hmm im getting lots of sync problems with Windows Live :S, also my phone 'says' it's connected to 3G/H but then randomly doesnt send texts :S
Really starting to annoy me now!
I've been playing with my Kaiser and these are the last remaining bugs that I can't figure out:
1. No Data while using Voice. See thread in this forum for other's complaints.
2. Phone does not wakeup when a email is received. I tried following other's advice by installing Spb time, and enabling "Wakeup Tweak" and this had no effect. Phone plays notification sound, but still is sleep.
3. Phone locks keys and sleeps while talking. On my 8125 with WM5, the phone would turn off the display, but would wake up with any key press while in the call. This is kind of handy in case I want to see another call come in, go to speaker phone, mute, etc. Right now, I need to hit the power button.
4. Menu's in messaging are really annoying. It would be wonderful if there was a way to modify the menu's in messaging. In SMS/MMS the New Menu Item is actually another menu where the first item is "Multimedia message". There are other things I find annoying.
Other than these annoyances, I think the phone is really doing great.

You may not have 3g in your area, or your provider requires UMTS which you
can enabled by installing the Kaiser Tweak program.
2. Phone does not wakeup when a email is received. I tried following other's advice by installing Spb time, and enabling "Wakeup Tweak" and this had no effect. Phone plays notification sound, but still is sleep.
I like this effect since it doesn't waste battery. I'm not sure how to fix this one

Turn off fast sleep, use kaiser tweak to disable.

1. I guess from what others are saying you have to be in the HSPDA area.
2. I guess I never realized it but mine doesn't either, be nice if it were an option but I don't know if it is.
3. These are reg settings, install the reg tweaks sticky above
4. I don't quite understand what you looking for or what is the problem.
Thanks for the reply exstatica.
I have kaiser tweak installed.
For #1, which option is this exactly, I'm not seeing what option you explain.
For #3, I have "Fast Screen Off" = Disabled (Advised)
jallenclark,
If you go into Messaging and then your Outlook E-Mail account, you will notice the Menu has "MMS Options" as the last item in the menu. On 8525, WM6, "Send/Receive" was the last option. It was nice that this was the last item. Why "MMS Option" need to be on the Email account, I have no idea.
If you go into Messaging and then you MMS/SMS account, the Menu Has a New Menu Item, then two sub-items. This isn't out it use to be.
I wish there was a way to modify these items.
I think it is near the top of the tweak program, it is called Fast Sleep.
I see what you mean about the Send/Receive and I agree completely. I am sure it would be possible to switch the order of the buttons but I don't know how to program it. I went from 8125 and it was similar to this the send/recieve was 3 up on the list.
I had 0.3 of KaiserTweak, current version 0.4 has the option you were talking about. Duh moment on my part
The Kaiser has voice and data at the same time as long as you are in a 3g area.
I can stream live TV from my media center pc using webguide4 and as long as the icon shows the "H" symbol for HSDPA then I can make and recieve calls while the video streams. The audio on the video is muted until I hang up the phone but the video is still playing non the less. If I do not have the "H" icon then this will not work.
This is not a problem with the phone it is the way the technology works. Be thankful, this is only with GSM providers. Meaning that this is not even an option with the best service area with Sprint and Verizon.
I get over 100 emails a day in my line of job, if the "feature" you describe existed (wake up on email) the first thing I'd look for is how to turn it off... My Hermes did the same BTW, you hear the sound, but the units remains in standby mode.

Not quite sure what you mean but if you are wanting a send a sms you can always set one of the softkeys to "New SMS" meaning you only need to click one button to compose a sms.

1 click on the side wheel and it is back when you need it I love this system..
fast sleep makes my tilt (kaiser, 8925, varioIII) respond incorrectly.
fast sleep is a good idea conceptually but while it saves battery power, when i wake up my phone in call or after the call is over, It makes most of the home screen and the soft buttons unresponsive. I can usually fix this by putting it to sleep and waking it up one more time. Sometimes when this happens the backlight comes on only very dim. I dont see a setting for the fast sleep while in a call. Here are some steps i have tried to resolve this issue.
tried to remove all items from home screen
chose to not show owner info or notes when turning on device.
Changed power settings to not turn off device.
changed backlight to always stay on for testing.
told the device to not lock after no usage.
problem existed before i unlocked the device.
Any Ideas?
to answer some questions i can see headed my way here is the info on my kaiser.

I love my phone. Touchflo is working but tricky at times. I cant wait till the cube becomes solid. I havent tried any other roms yet.
some of the cabs i am using
attached are the exact cabs i used to install some of the apps.
I'm still annoyed that unlocking the phone (as in, unlock when it comes out of suspend with a pin, not sim unlocking) requires you to hit UNLOCK when you type in the pin, instead of the old way where the phone unlocks when you hit the last digit.
I'd still love some way to change it back.
Kaisertweak Works!!!
kaisertweak rocks. It disabled fastsleep which makes my problem not happen. I attached it.
2 issues
Is it just me or is the Tytn II's speaker behaves differently to the original Tytn and D810?
1. Go to the phone keypad, try dial a string of number quickly, the speaker will start to pop as it can not play the key sound fast enough.. This has never been a problem with my 838 Pro or D810.
2. Make the Tytn II to play a sound, after it finishes listen carefully for a noise that appears to be the speaker turning off, it seems like after a sound is played the speaker's power is continuously on for a few seconds before switching off. Again this is different and unnoticeable on the 838 Pro or D810.
happens to me too.

I get the popping. It sounds like its making the speaker clip. I didnt get it until i changed to a cooked rom. IMHO, all cooked roms have bugs....but i would gladly settle for all of the worst bugs in the cooked roms over using the att tilt rom which was loaded with bloatware, fastsleep, proxy, crappy camera, crappy softkeyboard, etc.. etc.. etc... I really dont think its the speaker. I think its the rom. Backup and try a different one if you feel like testing.
Thanks,

Hey everyone
Has anyone else noticed that their TyTN II wakes from standby when switching between GPRS and 3G. At least I think this is why mine appears to wake up randomly! It will be sat on my desk in standby mode and then the screen will switch on and the signal strength bars will move.
I've checked to make sure nothing is running in the background and performed a soft reboot.
Any ideas?
Hi
The Kaiser does turn on at least once every hour (some house keeping tasks), and will turn on if the mobile signal is lost. However these on's are in unattended mode which means the device appears off to the owner so the screen will not come on.
If you have some software that likes to do work or updates the today page for example, that software may be detecting the device has turned on and in order to get your attention or just through bad programming, issues a power announcement to say turn on proper, hence the display lights up!
Regards
Phil
Thanks for the info, I'll have a look what I have on there and try and isolate what is causing the power ups.
Cheers for the help.
If you have sprite backup installed with the auto backup on low power option that causes occasional power ups to enable the power check.
I may have solved this issue. After uninstalling enAlarm the phone, no longer appears to be waking. I'm still monitoring it though
i have the same problem when im signed on to AIM. Once i sign off it stops waking up, but if its on it'll wake up every 5 minutes or so, and it is in fact annoying. Havent found out the solution for it yet so i just dont really use it that often

it's when a friend log's in or out of AIM.. it's a paint, rediculious and ATT refuses to get rid of OZ messanger and use a real one.
here's the kicker. it supposed to use TEXT , but when a friend logs in or out, the message is sent to your phone, and then DATA brings up the list..
STUPID and ignorant of ATT but,. big companies do what they want!
I have been having the same problem as well. I just installed this DeviceLock program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305402
If you enable the "Lock on Wake" option, the device will be locked when it wakes up, so the backlight stays off and you won't call anyone by accidentally hitting buttons.
Also, I ran across this related thread you might want to check out (basically talking about the same thing, but for the Tilt):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335433
I know that many of you have disabled the "Fast Sleep" mode while making a phone call. Well what I'm wanting to do is just the opposite, disable (or lock) the touch screen entirely while making a call. The problem I'm having is that when talking on the phone I always end up touching the screen with my cheek and either accidentally end the call, call someone else, or whatever. I would like to have a utility which would lock the touchscreen maybe 5-10 seconds after a call is established. One of the hard keys or an i-pod type slider function would unlock the screen.
Does anyone know of a utility like this?
I do have the "fast sleep" mode enabled within Kaiser Tweeks. However, while the fast sleep mode turns off the screen to save battery power, it still wakes back up with just a touch.
I have an AT&T Tilt.
I've seen some discussion of S2U2 on this forum, but it appears that S2U2 is a whole new today screen. I would like to keep my today screen unchanged. I only want the screen to lock during a call.

It is a lock not a today replacement. That is what I use.
Thanks parleyp, I guess I'll give s2u2 a try. The info that I've seen just seems rather complicated when all I need is a simple lock utility. Why is there discussions on s2u2 affecting the weather tab, clock display, background, etc?
Which version are you using on your tilt?
Would you be interested in something like that??
If so search for opal dialer in kaiser Rom development subforum.
I am fairly certain that you can just press the "power" button and shut the screen off. When you are ready to hang up, just hit the end button. This is not automatic, but it works for me.
yea, i was gonna say: what's wrong with just pressing the power button?
I Have gone straight from the Orbit2 to the Diamond2 however I seem to have a small problem with the device lock that i used to have on the front screen as it only works if i disable the touchflo3d homepage that i kind of like.
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions/3rd party screen locks that are practical?
PS. had the phone 2 days and not really had time to read manual thoroughly etc so if there is a really simple response to this then I apologize
try holding the end call button for a few seconds
Thanks. Am guessing that was in the manual but must have missed it in skim reading it.
not sure mate i don't read the manuals either i just asked the same question on the TD1 haha
I was also very disappointed by missing LOCK option - thanks, maybe next time, i could at least download that manual from HTC

TouchLockPro works on the Diamond2, it unlocks by light sensor and taking stylus out.
you can set long press of the end call button to lock screen "settings/personal/buttons/end key tab.
Anyway to set the TD2 to switch on by pressing any of the 4 bottons? Now mine is only able to be switched on by pressing the on/off button.
This lock the device automatical everytime when the backlight goes off.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight
AutoDeviceLockEnable from 0 to 1
After change no softreset is needed.
No way to activate the screen with the call/start/arrow/end call button?
you can use smart lock, it is free and very good.
How does one change the lock time?
I've set it but can't now access the time setting - I've read the manual and still no clue.
