When I call someone and they answer, phone vibrates?!?

I'm running the stock ROM for the AT&T Tilt and one thing I noticed as soon as I got the phone was that it would vibrate when someone picked up my call. I had an 8125 running WM6 so I was pretty familiar with all of the notification/alarm settings and had not ever seen this one. Sure enough I couldn't find that anywhere in Sounds/Notifications. After a little while it stopped doing it, but now it seems to do it off and on. It did it last night but I don't think it did it for all of the phone calls I made last night. I did a soft reset earlier yesterday some time I believe. It's quite annoying for the phone to vibrate when it's up against your head.
Any ideas what is causing this? I don't have any crazy programs installed, but even if I did it was doing this before I installed anything.

How about hard reset? See that fix the problem. I guess some program might be causing it.

PhoneAlarm for eg has an option to enable vibration when an outgoing call is connected, are you using it? If not, then check other programs for similar settings, even if it's programs in no way related to it

By chance, do you have Inesoft installed?
HKCU\Software\Inesoft\PIM\Settings VibroConnect = 0 (No vibrate on connect)

I am running PhoneAlarm and in the Adv. tab it was indeed checked! Thank you for this, I looked in the profile settings for Home and Work but saw nothing.
If this is an option somewhere else on the phone I'm not sure but it was definitely in the PhoneAlarm.
Thank you for the help!

Sorry to bring up a dead topic. But I'm having the same problem and I have none of the above mentioned programs D:

I have PocketMax Redial that has a setting to do that.

TNT PRO ROM I have that ROM. I don't see PocketMax Redial anywhere.

Just looking at the first post of that thread I would say it's the Registry_Enable_sounds_on_call setting that does it. You need to ask on that thread.

Wow. I can't believe that I didn't see that.Thank you.

Keylock

Recently whenever I turn my Kaiser on from standby it comes on with the keylock on. I don't think I changed anything to make it do this, and can't see how to stop it - so it comes on unlocked.
Can anyone help? I assume there's a registry setting somewhere, as the control panel doesn't seem to help.
Thanks

did u try settings/personal/lock ?

Yes, that's all off/unchecked. When I turn the phone on I have to press the left soft button, which says unlock, then an on screen button saying unlock. That's what I'm trying to stop happening.

#3 there is a suggestion, try it.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I've tried turning it off and on, and soft resetting the phone, and it doesn't make any difference. THe other thing I've noticed is that when I finish a phone call the phone locks as well.

Try to search for it here on xda via the search function, I am prety sure that it is solved somewhere here.
Hope u will find it. Need to go.

I've tried searching before posting, but didn't find anything to help. It's such a simple thing and I can't believe no-one knows what to do.
Any one else got an idea?

ur welcome,always happy to help.

Arrgh! On closer inspection when my phone is connected to the PC via usb the lock doesn't come on. When it's not connected it still does on turn on or at the end of calls. This is getting really irritating!
Any more ideas anyone? Please?

Backlight dimming & keylock?

I know, I know before the torrent of replies happens - "Why didn't you Search", "You should have searched before posting" et etc ...... I did search and the results didn't help
I have two Kaisers with identical software builds (slightly different contents but the base OS is identical). On both of these I have (had..) the backlight issue where if the backlight was off when the device was locked (either via the 'Device Lock' Today item or via Battery Status 'DeviceLock on Wakeup'). To enable the backlight it must be unlocked and in bright sunlight this is very difficult.
Now for some reason this behaviour has changed on one of the Kaisers - the 30-second dimming still happens when locked or unlocked, now however tapping the screen turns the backlight on. This is exactly the behaviour I want I assumed there would be a registry difference between the two however I can't find one. All the values in the keys
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\
HKLM\ControlPanel\BackLight\
are identical. I was hoping to copy the changed registry values and include them in my next ROM re-build but I can't see any differences.
Does anyone know what other registry keys I should look at?
Cheers
Andy

Install this cab and power the phone off and power it back on.
Hey presto brightscreen when you want to unlock the phone!

Thanks for that but that is the behaviour I have at the moment without a startup application. There is obviously something in the registry that is making this work as I want it on my Kaiser. I just want to know what it is?
Andy

I think I have fixed it....
After rechecking the registry settings I found a difference and I don't know how I missed this previously. I have made the change on the Kaiser that wasn't working as I wanted it and now it's working exactly as I would like:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel]
"LockLevel"=dword:ffffffff
No more guessing when trying to unlock it in sunlight....
If anyone is interested?
Cheers
Andy

TQ very much.
It is working like you said.
No need to use 3rd party app. Just a simple registry tweaking.

dim backlight on device-lock
I recently flashed to a WM6.1 ROM (ATT 3.57.502.2) and I have noticed that now when you enable the device-lock it does NOT dim the screen. I actually preferred it that way as it helped me realize when I had a successful tap to enable the lock. Not to mention battery-life issues when putting phone in a tight pocket, immediately afterwards.
Can somebody enlighten me on how to make it behave as it used to? I tried to edit some of the registry entries mentioned in this thread, and others, but none seem to apply to the device-lock. Again, I'd like to have the screen dim on device-lock as it did with my old ROM.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Thanks, that works... BUT
on my Kaiser only until the next soft reset, then dword is back to 00000000. Anyone else see the same? Solution?

Found out that the cab from post #2 partially solves it. You still have no backlight the first time after a reset, but at least you don't have to go into the registry every time after resetting.
Too bad it sets the level to x0A instead of x0FFFFFFFF.

Key to try for backlight woes
I've had this problem since flashing from 6.0 to 6.1 AND selecting an unlock password at initial startup. Sometimes it would reset backlight time to 10 sec. after soft reset and it was even resetting it without a soft reset for a while. Changing the "Locklevel" key helps as previously posted, but sometimes it would get reset to "0" from my setting of "7" intermittently and then the problems returned. a soft reset always reset this key to "0". I found another key below which I changed from "1" to "0". everything has been totally normal for a week of heavy use. I have not yet reset, but at least it behaves normally even when I use the Today screen Device Lock.
The key is HKLM-Control Panel-Backlight-DimBKLinUnlockScreen
The only remaining issue is sometimes when I power on from suspend the screen comes on and then goes off immediately. Hitting the button again keeps it on.
Good Luck!

Tilt very very unresponsive today.

Its not letting me receive any calls. Because by the time I press "Accept" it becomes unresponsive for like a couple of mins and the call has already ended.
Its taking forever to load any apps too. It takes forever to open the Programs folder or the Settings folder. Everything takes like a min on the phone now.
I don't know what has caused this. It was working fine yesterday. I haven't installed any new apps either.
I have the HTC stock ROM downloaded from this website. I've had it installed for a few months now without a problem.
Can someone please help me in understanding whats causing this?

I've restarted the phone a few times now. The boot time is around 15 mins for some reason. It stays at the Window Mobile 6 screen for 15 mins before starting up.

Hard reset anyone?

Is that the only solution?
I'm sick of this and slowing turning anti-windows.

Some times things need to be refreshed. Don't be scared, it will be ok.

Somebody please explain to us that this slowness/unresponsiveness is unique for the TYTN II?! Should I expect the same from a HTC Touch or a Samsung?

Have you, by chance, been experimenting with network folders? I saw something similar with the file explorer, after I had connected to a network drive at home. It was trying to reconnect while I was away from the home network.

You should expect it from any electronic device like this. Maybe not 100% of the time and not 100% of them, but things like this do happen. There are too many things trying to live in harmony and not step on each others feet for there to never be a problem.
Do a hard reset and see what happens. If it doesn't solve your problem then it's time to look into a warranty claim. If you can use the phone, just backup your numbers and then reset. It's really easy and doesn't take much time to get things back to normal.

I didn't touch any of the system folders. In fact, nothing was done to the phone since yesterday except send/receive phone calls and play Solitaire.

If you don't reset it then don't complain.

I've done this (hard reset) before and I have every right to complain. Not trying to be a troll, but sometimes I feel I should've bought an iP***e instead.
Right now I'm trying to take a backup of my files on the Storage card, but Total Commander is unresponsive (trying to copy 5 files for the past 30 mins).
I know I'll eventually hard reset this thing, but I'm just pissed right now.

So you don't think people have to hard reset their iphones? I laugh in your general direction.
If you can't make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or access email or the web
Check the cell signal indicator in the status bar at the top of the screen. If there are no bars, or if it says "No service," try moving to a different location. If you're indoors, try going outdoors or moving closer to a window.
Check to make sure you’re in an area with network coverage. Go to your carrier's website to see network coverage areas.
Make sure airplane mode isn't on. From the Home screen choose Settings, then turn Airplane Mode off.
If that doesn't work, turn airplane mode on, wait 15 seconds, then turn airplane mode off again.
Make sure to include an area code for every phone number in your contacts list that you use to send or receive text messages.
If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: If you enter the SIM PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with your wireless service. Call your carrier or go to your carrier's website.
If that doesn't work, restore the iPhone software. See this document or see "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software" in the iPhone User's Guide.

Come on now. You know what I meant. I wasn't trying to imply that at all. I was just venting. Sorry if it offended anyone.

is it possible that its just having trouble reading the sd card (if you have one?) maybe the file system is becoming corrupt on the card and its constantly trying to read it?..

I thought about this. I tried using the phone without the SD card. But the behavious was the same. Currently I'm hard resetting it

So how did it go?

Just finished hard resetting it. The phone works now. Fortunately I had an export of my contacts in an XML file (using a .NET utility that I wrote.) Unfortunately, I haven't written the import part of the utility yet
The phone works, but my docs and pics are gone. The SD card works fine. Thanks for your help guys.

Outlook works nice for backing up contacts and there is also a program you run from your phone that does the same thing. I think it's PIM backup

use cleartemp from now on to clear unneeded items on every start up

it is pim back up
its the BEST

Align screen by-pass

My phone does not suceed on aligning screen and therefore the set-up does not go through.
This happens with any rom I install. I assume is more a harwdware than a software problem, because I noticed some problems in the screen touch even before.
Is there a way to by-pass it and to force WinMo to complete the set-up process?
Thanks

What problem do you have? Is the aling screen proces start all over again after finishing all five steps? Sometimes I do the screen alingnment over four times. You should press right in the center of + with your stylus, and do not shake even a little bit because it will start again when you finish.
If this isn't the problem, hope someone else could help you, even that I don't believe it is possible.
Good Luck!
Cheers!

he din mention he did a hard rest. :S....sometimes it may ask for allignment all of a sudden....my x1 did once
but if he has already done a hard rest then he has to wait 10min....should work or he could use the app (whose name i 4got ) to go into reg and delete the reg that triggers customization
PS: ill give more details when i get home n check out the app n the reg

tried to delete as you instructed.
Unfortunately he tells that I "cannot delete file welcome: access is denied"
any way to overcame it? tried also to rename or move, but with no avail

I had the same issue tried even deleting files via third party applications and skipping align screen but once u do it your screen doesn't react for any thing you do. you cannot configure neither ur buttons too sometimes doesnt work. the best way which I found that you try any of the original ROM version ..either UK or NAM which actually resets the radio and brings back in normal stage...hope it works for you.. then you may tryu doing hard SPL and install any of the cooked rom.

I have installed indeed the uK offical version...
