My daughters tilt is being screwy. A couple keyboard buttons dont work, so ok, new keyboard.
The real screwy thing is, her keypad acts up and gets stuck scrolling either side to side or up and down when she closes her phones slider.
I tried blowing it out with some canned air but that did nothing. Is a new keypad also in order?
My guess is putting the phone in her pants pocket screwed it up, so we dont allow that anymore. Although, mine and my wifes are kept in belt clip cases which are a bit tight on the phone and we dont get any of the same problems.

Hi @ all !
There´s a thing very annoying in the new Kaiser... You cannot use any belt-pocket with magnetic closers !
After setting the phone to standby via one short press on power button, I found it back turned on again, everytime I took it out of the belt-pocket.
First I thought, that this must be the keyboard slide mechanism, cause the phone also comes back, when you slide out the keyboard, but I kept an eye on it, not the move the slider while putting it into the pocket and back out again. Then I thought, that it was the light sensor, but some tests made me sure, that it must be something else.
Finally I found out, that it turns back on again, cause I´m still using the belt-pocket of my old TyTN I with the 2 magnets as closing mechanism... If you try and hold a magnet over the keyboard in the area of S,D,E,X,F or even on the back side in the same area and move it around just a little bit, the phone turns on... Crazy, but true !
Now I know, why they gave that awful new belt-pocket with the tape-closer to the Kaiser...
Hope that helps

It is partly related to keyboard... it has a magnetic sensor that it is activated when keyboard is released, so the magnet from your holster tricks the sensor into believing keyboard is out, so it activates screen.
I guess thats why they have the velcro closer on the one that is shipped with the phone. This is somthing to consider when buying a nice Piel Frama one.
Absolutely it's the keyboard magnet operated switch that does it. But, I know you can run a magnet (let's say the case magnet ) over the d-pad area (seems to do it on mine) and the Kaiser will turn on. - However, I have been using the TyTn case also and I have not noticed it turning on just by sliding the Kaiser in and out. In fact I have just sat here and put it in and out every which way (for the last ten minutes) and it has not come on.
Maybe your magnets are stronger than mine or your keyboard switch more sensitive? I am also not keen on that "tape" closing on the new case.

lol i wish i would have read that some place, i thought it was the keyboard some switch but didnt think they would use a magnet, it was pissing me off a lot while i was driving, now i know i found on my own, but the magnet that i have is shielded a bit, but still just the right position and it will trigger the switch
I sure hope this was posted some place in a FAQ or wiki, if not it should be and if it was, then shame on me for not reading that part or noticing it
Magnetic sensor via magnet in holster.
Just found out this "feature" with a BB holster...
Has anyone found a way to exploit/use this feature to turn-on the device when removed from the holster?
That is something I always envied with my wifes Blackberry.
I've noticed this too
I have the same problem, but since mine is set not to wakeup when the keyboard slides open I can't see how the magnet could be the culprit.
I had the same problem with my Nokia and Kaiser.....Never thought it was because of the magnet sensor in the device....To tell the truth...I didnt know that it had one inside.....Thanks for the info....
Would it affect the sensor in anyways....if it doesnt, I can actually use this "feature" so my phone is awake each time I pull it out of the belt case......
Anyone experience their Tilt turning on by itself just when you turn it off (stand by-button on the side)?
I would turn the unit on standby and put it back into the case and it would turn on by itself and a 3 beeping sound would activate. I thought that the Tilt has some kind of motion sensor thing.
Is this an issue and how can it be solved?
If the screen slides out slightly the phone will come out of standby. The 3 tones could be the piano slide out sound.
good catch DaneMaximus
the keyboard uses a magnetic switch, by any chance......does you case have a magnet in it?
thats what i thought too but i would try moving it a slight and it doesnt go on.
Dont know about the magnetic...where is it on the case?
Ok, when i force the open keyboard it is playing the closing piano chime. But why is it doing this? I dont think its opening since the phone is new.
I know why this is happening. It turns out the the opening slide from the Tilt is a magnetic trigger and when I put it into my leather case, it has a magnetic closer lid where it is activating the trigger on the Tilt.
Just have to be careful when inserting the tilt into the case. At least theres nothing wrong with the tilt.
You could disable slide wake.
ahhh... good suggestion. How do you disable slide awake?-
Never mind found it in kaiserTweak.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I noticed that on my TILT, I can "wiggle" my outer keypad quite a bit with my finger - IE - It's not tight. I can move it up/down, side to side - is this normal or should it have no play at all?
yeah thats pretty common, nothing to worry about it. I picked up the KAISER about a year ago, and was shocked that it was wobbly too . You will eventually stop noticing it.
Lol, I just answered it you know where
it's my first post on this board so a Big Hello to Everyone
I acquired a D2 a couple of weeks ago and I'm still learning my way around it.
There is one thing that annoys me big time though. the phone keeps unlocking itself when in its pouch. After investigation, i found out that by pressing the stylus edge of the handset it would actually activate the stylus detection switch, which is seen by the phone as the stylus being pulled out hence unlocking the screen.
Has someone noticed this or did I get a faulty phone?
Is there a way of disableing the stylus detection either via the registry or any other settings?
Thanks in advance ....
Looks like a faulty phone - mine's never done that, and I've just tried pushing quite hard on the stylus-side and nothing happens.
Best get it replaced!
problem is... it doesn't do it all the time
try removing the back cover, lock the phone and push the stylus at about the groove level. Does it unlock?
I thought you meant that yours did it with the cover on?
well...it does it with the cover on too but not everytime. I think the cover pushes the stylus which in turn pushes the switch and unlocks the screen. However if i remove the cover and push the stylus directly it does it all the time. I was wondering if the thing happens to all handsets or just mine...
Well I can safely say it doesn't happen to mine.
hi!
Mine does unlock itself too. I was also wondering if I had a faulty phone...
I've been playing around with different buttons, but u r right...whenever I touch it near the Stylus edge it unlocks.
I have installed Pocket Shield and after seeing your post I've been able of avoiding the annoying behaviour by unchecking the option Unlock>On stylus out under Unlocking tab.
Thanks for the clue!!!
Alright, so my problem is that when I slide out the keyboard to type something in, it won't actually rotate the screen. It isn't an issue with the ROM because I have flashed several different ones and it is the same no matter what.
What happens is that I slide out the keyboard, the screen freezes to whatever it was when I slid it out. I type whatever and when I close the phone it just loads up the text that I had typed in. So the keyboard itself works but I can't see what I typed until I close the phone again which is pretty inconvenient. Does anyone know of a way I can solve this? PLEEEAASSSE! help is much appreciated.
unfortunately it looks (almost 100%) like your ribbon cable between the circuit board and the screen needs replacing.
Your symptoms are EXACTLY what mine did. Then it got gradually worse and the screen ended up turning black on sliding it open.
I've replaced the ribbon cable, with some protection on the area that gets worn and so far the phone is fab again!
see this thread (yeah i know it's mine but it's certainly worked for me!)

obviously if your phone is under warranty it needs to go back, but once repaired it WILL do it again at some point. Terrible oversight in the design of an otherwise great handset.
