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!
Does anyone know how to stop the device returning to the Touchflo 3D home screen every time I wake the device up? I have a Touch Pro but no-one seems to know the answer to this in the forum and I guess it's a TF3D issue.
I can't find anything about this on a search, but I'm sure I remember reading about it in the Diamond forum.
It's annoying when it goes off when I'm writing a text message or in a call or listening to music and I have to navigate all the way back.
Same Problem
yes... i have the exact same problem.
To add to it, I've set autolock also. When I'm trying to watch a vedio on you tube, and if it's taking some time to buffer, the phone locks. And upon unlocking, i'll find myself in the home screen... and have to navigate back to youtube menu all again.
Very uncomfortable behaviour, especially when you are trying to show off the features on your phone to friends...
Is this solved in any new ROMs... or is there a tweak for setting this right?
I like the autolock thing - it's great. However when I'm writing a message or something it is so annoying.
Also, because the screen on the Touch Pro goes off in calls, it always goes back to the home screen so you can't see the call status, can't add notes and can't read contacts as easily. More annoyingly, my line of work involves phone systems that require entering numbers a lot so I always need to see the phone keypad. Very annoying.
did you guys every get this sorted. Just got my diamond 2 and I have the same annoying problem
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?
Please refer my post 14 for the solution / reason to keep music on
Freinds,
Whenever i play music in TF3d mode and when screen goes off automatically or if i press power off button (standby mode) then music turns off. This doesnt happen when headphones are connected. But without headphones it gets turned off. Please let me know any tweak so that i can play music through tf3d tab even when phone screen gets turnoff.

friends need a solution. Kindly help
Guys please help
Hi.
I have the same problem.
Please help...
/M
nobody to help?????????????????
i dont know if you understand what sleep mode is but when the screen turns off its in sleep mode and it turns off wifi bluetooth the screen and pauses some processes that may incude the tf3d music player. if it bugs u so much set your power options in settings so tat the phone turns off at a later time then what it is currently set to that way u can play your music longer. note that your battery will drain faster as the phone is still on even thought he screen is off

Well i am aware of the sleep mode. Also changing the time in power option doesnt solve the purpose. I have also dechecked the option "turn off device if not used in X min" .
Still waiting a solution to this
i personlly gave it a try and my music continued to play after the screen turned off, ti even played the next song. It may possibly be a bug in your rom or it could be tf3d all together. Im using tf3d2 on the Gen Y D2 rom. If it really bugs u i suggest you give the rom a try,
AFAIK its not a bug, but rather a feature of WinMo.
Sleep means what: You are not going to use your device (apart from... recieving a call or an sms). So that includes playing music.
But if you connect the headphone, its different scenario, WM assumes that you just want to play music (since the headphone is connected). So it allows playback of Audio.
But to be doubly sure, goto HKLM-Software-HTC-AudioManager and search for the key enter_suspend, it should be 0 (zero)
One solution i've found... Start the music from TF3D, and then lock the screen. After that, in few seconds the display will turn off (depends of your settings)and music will play. Works for me

Well tried this also, it plays till the time backlight gets fade away but as soon as it gets completely off music stops. I think this is ridiculous feature of WinMO coz if i want to listen music in Tf3d mode with screen off i cant listen it. Too bad
do you really listen to music through the crappy tiny diamond speaker?
Try this with your preferred registry editor, change the value of hklm\system\state\hardware\headset
from 0 to 1 and see if it works
this works because I just tried on my diamond, play the music via windows media, assign a button in the options to switch off the screen and just push that button while playing.
Well i found the solution. Well rather reason why it music used to stop. I had installed older version of S2U2 which was locking the Tochflo3d. But now i have latest version i.e. 2.04 which has an option not to lock touchflo3d and also dont turn off the phone if screen goes blank. I have selected this option and now music remains on.
Anyways thanks a lot everybody to help me.

Turned both of these functions on (Don't lock TouchFlo3D, etc.)...still get my sound turned off if I hit power when playing through the phone's speaker. Most annoying issue...still no solution....
Hey all.
ive found a little problem with this ROM.
when backlight goes to power save mode, it never goes to its regular mode again, when i press the screen, it keeps on working but stays dark.
it only works if i turn the screen of from the power button, and turn it on again.
how do i work this out?
and another problem with IE6 - it wont show me websites, somehow it get stuck while using it...anyone knows?
thank you all..!
Are you using the screen lock facility to lock on dim? This is a common problem with the wm 6.5 lock if you set it to lock on dim. If you are you need to use HD Tweak to disable the lock on dim feature and install AutoLock Screen v.17E.
As to the problem with IE, I haven't encountered it. Have you tried Opera?
Dude
I am using this ROM for really long time....I can say that it is the best ROM so far....I didnt even flash a new one ever since.
for the backlight try this aplication: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450318
At first I didnt want to try it out...but it is sooooo good...it really works - you can clearly see how the backlight goes darker and brighter...it is awesome...
And as for the browser..I really recommend the new Opera 10....it is the best looking app I ever had on my blackstone and it also works like charm.
