Hi,
I have enabled my device to auto lock when the power button is used. But a side effect of this seems to be that sometime the device auto locks itself after 1 min when the screen is still active.
I have searched the device (and this forum) but the locatrion of the setting for adjusting the autolock time has eluded me.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction before i go insane
Hi where did you set up auto lock with power button using. I can't find out this option. Thanks

Settings / System / Power / Advance tab - I believe what is happening is the phone is set to turn off after 1 minute, though when the lock is set it locks after the first minute then turns off a minute later. this is just a guess.

Hi, harolds thanks for your quick reply, but I've thought auto locking without password. Something like autolock when backlight is turned off.

You can try HD Tweak which has this option.

thats exactly how i set the autolock
Hi, thanx for reply. I know that tweak, it works with backlight and in my D2 it sometimes works strangely. I hoped you wrote about tweak which works when you push power buton only.

I just got my Kaiser and am playing with it and noticed one annoying thing so far.
The screen will turn off during a call and I have to hit the "power" button to get it to come back on.
Is this normal? This is the first PPC Phone that does that to me and I haven't been able to figure out what program to adjust to make it stop behaving like that.
Thanks!
I have read about this at 2 other places. It's a feature I think and it's 'solved' by using the scroll button untill the screen gets dark again

You need to change the backlight settings.
I've adjusted it, but the backlight doesn't dim. The screen goes out entirely and you have to use the power button for it to come back on.
Normally when the backlight dims, touching any part of the screen will resume the normal brightness. When this blanks the touchscreen is "off".

from what ive read it seems to be a feature to save battery life and keep you from accidentally pressing buttons on the touchscreen with your ear. i dunno if there is a way to shut it off though
I can see how it would prevent me from messing with the keys and all that. It's fine when I'm on the call, but its annoying when I listen to my voicemail and then go to hit keys to do something and realize I need to hit the power button first .

Then check your Power settings.
This is a known bug...
Hopefully HTC will be addressing this issue - for those experiencing it, no backlight, power, or software app, or any other settings have been discovered (as of yet) to eliminate it.

FYI: I found that modifying the DWORD stored in:
Code:
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
from "1" to "0" will leave the screen on long enough for voicemail use (probably falling back to the backlight/power settings)...

Kind of.
\HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\
Change LockLevel to what ever value you want the backlight set to when your device is locked.

Thanks Jason,
I tried that before and when I change the value to "1", it completely dims out my phone and I haven't even locked it. Any suggestions?

try 4. That should be 4 notches up on the backlight slider in the control panel.

And may I ask how one accomplishes this? I have no idea how to edit the REG in Windows mobile.
Thanks!!
Do a search for PHMregedit, it's a good, free, mobile editor.
Hi everyone,
I just switched from the Touch to the Kaiser and have a problem with the device not going into powersave mode. I am NOT talking about the backlight settings but the power settings that turns off the device after x min of inactivity. The device never turns off for some reason.
This was working fine on the Touch. Is this a common problem on the Kaiser ?
Thanks

You don't mention what settings you have it set to. When you tap the battery icon (top bar) and then "advanced", are there time limits set?
If there are - untick the boxes and exit the screen "OK"
Then return to the screen and tick the boxes again and enter time limits exit with "OK"
Personally I always turn to standby manually. WM5/6 often seems to prefer this. WM5 in particular has a habit of not coming out of standby if it goes to standby by itself. The Kaiser seems MUCH more tolerant of this but I just got the habit of doing it manually.

My backlight settings are not set and my Power settings are as follows:
Turn off device if not used for "1 min" is SET for batt power and NOT SET for external power.
I will try unchecking everything and rechecking to see if that helps.
Thanks,
BTW, TouchFlo scrolling is horrible on the Kaiser compared to the Touch especially in the Internet browser. Surprising for a device with so much more memory and horsepower over the Touch...
i had a same problem with my kaiser... Try to hard reset u phone after hard reset you wont see any problem...
Thanks for the suggestions..
I did a hard reset and the problem remains. It is very strange because if I manually power of the phone it does wake up when I call comes in bit stays on after that.
During a call however the screen goes off !!!
I did the recommended reg hack to stop the screen from blacking out during a call but it still does it.
Has there been any updates to the original (HTC) firmware since release ?
Thanks again.

From this:

If my Kaiser goes into standby, say on the mail screen, if I hit the power button or slide the slider to turn it back on, it goes back to the today screen.
Is there a way to stop this?
You probably have an application that does this, there are a lot offering this feature.
Gah,
I have kaisertweak, phweaver and HHC installed, could it be one of those?
Password
Are you password protecting your phone? If so, this can cause the Today screen to pop-up after you resume from standby, even if you are not prompted to enter a password.
nope, no password protect - I have WIMP, I *want* anyone who steals it to use it
May it's the setting 'Today timeout:' under Settings/Personal/Today/Items...
have the same problem with my touch. idea anyone? have the HHC installed, maybe it's an option of this program?
still have this problem - driving me crazy! plz help ...
bump old thread bcuz im having this issue now too...& this seems to have never been resolved.
it never used to happen, but i just got an rma w/ a a new rom 162 instead of 157 i was running on the old phone. so i'm assuming its a "feature" set in the new rom, but its annoying. also its frustrating bcuz i cant use that "camera workaround" where you cover the camera, hit the power button to sleep it, then resume...thus im back to stuck w/ a crap camera.
any thoughts/suggestions? thanks.

no, I have unchecked box of Today timeout, but still doesnt working.
When i resume Kaiser from standby (by press On/Off button) then always go to Today screen.
Probably need a soft reset for the shell to pick up the change in settings.

No, this step doesn't working. When I push On/Off button, all aplicaton (for ex. sms/mail) will be minimazed and I'll see only Totay screen
There is no solution?

My Stellar (Kaiser) powers off after about 10 seconds whilst on a call. The backlight setting is for 2 mins. I can't find a setting for it anywhere.
Any ideas ?
TIA, Davebo.
There is a setting in KaiserTweak (do a quick search, if you don´t have it already) that prolongs the backlight period - although not indefinitely.......

SEARCH is your buddy! Search for KaiserTweak. You have to disable Sleep and FastSleep options.
or move the jogwheel to wake-up the device
Ah ha!
Thanks very much. I think a combination of both approaches should cover all my bases.
Thanks again, DBo.
I have recently had to hard reset my phone (long and boring story).
Since then, I have not been able to get some settings the same and it is frustrating me! I hope someone can help.
What I want is for the backlight on the phone to go dim (but not off) after 10 seconds and I want the phone to switch off after 1 minute. So in the power setting I have set the setting for turn off backlight if device is not used to 10 seconds and the turn off device if not used to 1 minute. All is well. However, I want the device to autolock after 1 minute as well. If I enable autolock in advanced config then the device locks after 10 seconds, not 1 minute!
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks

Thanks. I did try a search, but I find its getting harder to find things now!
What I was wondering was why (or how) I managed to have it working previously and yet not again even though I think I had the same set of settings! That didnt sound right to me...
Interesting program that, will have to investigate. But I am sure it can be done natively with the device - that is how it was for me before my hard reset.
You should have the "Lock" app in Settings. You could use it...or you could install Slide2Unlock (S2U2) to do it as well.
