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.

Hello, I have upgraded my p4350 Herald to WM6 and since then I have some irregularity with the sleep mode. When I press the on/off button, my htc p4350 herald goes to sleep, as it was supposed to, but when I press the button again to wake, the today screen comes up and all the programs that were running before it goes to sleep mode are minimized and run in the background. To see them I need to go to Memory and Running program.
This problem wasn't in WM5 for some odd reason.
I read some where that it was possible to forbid Today Screen to run. I want to run iFonz and it would be gain of time and ram if Today Screen wasn't running.
This is a similar situation, but I wasn't successful. If someone manage to get the script running, plz let me know

hello. I find an answer to my problem, partially... just in case someone is interested. Apparently it has something to do with the password. None the less I still don't have the right answer. Still waiting for a way to disable that function at the same time keep the password.
Waiting anxiously for ur respond.

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?
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.
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?
Hi all, please can you help me with this!?
Firstly when my phone boots or is taken out of sleep mode it immediately activates voice record as if this button has been pressed. It then opens the dialler and types ‘EDFC’. If I open pocket word and then wake the phone up it also types ‘EDFC’ before doing the above.
My keyboard is not working and the only hardware buttons that function are the power button (only for a while), the camera button and the silver select button in the middle of the d-pad. The jog wheel and silver directional d-pad buttons occasionally come to life. The others don’t work (green call and red end buttons, ok, windows etc).
When I use the standard keyboard SIP on the screen the directional buttons and delete do not function?!
I’ve reverted to a stock ROM to make sure this isn’t the problem.
It appears as though my Kaiser thinks these buttons are being depressed, but I’ve checked them and they click normally and release when pressed (even though they don’t perform a function) so nothing is stuck down etc….
I’m going to use AE Buttons to try and unhinge the button functions for now, but it would be great if someone has any suggestions!!
Thanks in advance.
Update - AE Button won't unhinge the buttons or change their function to anything else (e.g. nothing). I can't stop this from happening every time the phone boots/wakes up!
Help!
Mine got the same symptoms last week except it opens quick something or other,and then the dialler dials 2547.The screen for my pin then comes up,which I can enter normally.Home screen fires up normally but the keyboard will not work or any buttons except the silver one in the middle.Searched a bit and this problem is very common although I cannot find a solution anywhere.Can someone please help
AE button didn't work?
When mine did that, I reset all the hardware buttons (not the keyboard, just the buttons reachable from the outside. A soft reset and viola!
That's the only solution I have. It's worked for me 2x.
Also try pulling the battery for 20 seconds or so and restarting. That has fixed my touchscreen not working after it gets spashed 3x. Yeah, my phone is old and abused, but keeps working.

Thanks for your replies - I've got Orange sending me another one in the morning now and sods law it's just stopped happening.... Taking the replacement anyway in case it happens again.
For my knowledge, how did you reset the buttons? I deleted some registry keys to completely stop them working (although I couldn't find the registry keys for the red and green buttons).
Searching on Google there are quite a few reports of this, but no one has ever posted the cause!
I am having the same problem... please help. My phone is going crazy. I did a hard reset but still didnt solve the problem....
I am also having this issue. Phone starts typing EDFC and then initiates the voice recorder. I reflashed various ROMs and regardless of what was flashed.. initially they appeared okay, then it started happening again. I also tried hard and soft resets. Nothng has worked so far.
I resorted to disabling the keys and some of the applications which I dont use which appear to be getting started/run (Voice recorder for one). So far I havent had the issue, knock on wood.
I think this is more than likely a hardware error. My tilt is actually pretty old so I wouldnt be surprised. If someone finds either the cause or a workable solution please post. Im trying to hold off until January when my contact expires to get a new HTC.
I searched and searched but found no solution for this and ended up getting the phone replaced.
HTC seemed to know nothing of such a problem....
Have you tried whacking it?!!?
Hope you get it sorted.

Hmm, yes, but I don't see how that helped my phone.
lol, all jokes aside, my friends, I ask in this thread as well,
what is causing this problem? I ran into this issue after ALL my buttons stopped working (except for the power).
I installed a new rom (I forget which one), and still nothing works except for power button.
It would be even better if someone knows the solution!
-Calling for Help-I'm still convinced it is a software/registry problem...
Okay, so there's no solution available for this weird problem of ours.
On the bright side, however, it is amazing that we can still use the phone, even after it requires servicing (some way or another). I have accepted this handicap that has been placed on my phone for now, simply hoping it will grow out of it one day.
But something isn't right. When I looked in the registry (trying to follow some directions I found within the wiki for when your keyboard STILL doesn't work properly), there was a discrepancy between what was supposed to be found in the registry and what was actually there. It wasn't that the values were wrong, it was the names of the values that were different. Why could this be?
Or even if you have moment of time, and you have an AT&T Tilt, and it works perfectly, maybe you could write up a run down of what you have hanging around in that section of the registry?
Hey, just so I can be sure, is there some place I can cross check what I have in my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP with what is supposed to be there in a fully functioning AT&T Tilt?
