Screen Randomly Turns on When Unit is Off

Tried Forum/Google search for this and too many results.
Situation: My noob friend buys a refurbished AT&T Tilt after my praises and he reports that the screen randomly wakes up when the unit is off without any action on his part. What could be the common causes? My Tilt doesn't do this even after Hard-SPL, SIM unlock, and third party apps. He has none of this so far, just the stock ROM. Should I tell him to get a replacement? Do refurbished models have this problem?

the screen should turn on after you press the power button. press it again and the screen turns off. hold it and it wil shut down/power off. i thought that was normal -_-

isnt that the whole point?? u press the power button to wake it up??

I am LMAO at the responses so far. He is pressing the power button to turn it off. After it turns off, it will wake up randomly without any action on his part. I will edit the thread title to be more clear.

Thanks. I don't know if that is what is happening to him, but I will direct him to that thread.

The screen "wakes up" when ever an alarm goes off or you receive a message. Can you confirm that nothing is happening? i.e.:
1. it did not auto-connect to check for messages.
2. your friend did not receive a text message
3. no alarms went off
???

I will ask him and post the answers here.

I have the same problem on my stock tilt any solutions anyone? I have done numerous hard resets and that seems to the solve the problem for a couple months then it returns.

could be battery check from sprite backup
Sprite backup has an auto backup when it detects low battery. To test for low battery it periodically turns the device on - if you have sprite backup installed this could explain it.

somthin that was happening to mine for a bit was when i logged on to AIM for a while, it started doing that.... then ever since, even if app is completely closed out, it kept doing it!! it would randomly light up for no freakin reason (no auto login, no apps running) jus light up, then go dim???.... tried everything, eventually got new ROM and hasnt done it since. see if he has used the IM app, that was the problem for me...

there could be so many reasons why it would wake. Just the simple slide of the screen will wake it up. Theres a registry tweak to turn it off. There's also power options your friend can play around with.

Couple of problems

I have a couple of anoying problems with the diamond. Its my first smart phone and there are som things I think the SonyEricsson handle better
First, whats up with the deal that Phone mode dissapears when you talk? When I´m calling some kind of support and need to press numbers thru the menu the phone locks after just about 5 secs and I have to go in to phone and keypad again, very anoying. Is their a way to keep in i phone mode to easy access to the keypad and ex speaker mode?
Second, the phone doesnt vibrate when it rings. When I choose vibrate-mode in the quick list it goes quite and vibrating, great for meetings. But I still want the phone to vibrate if I´m in a club or something
Third, Is there any way to shut down the function of the keypad appears automatically? When I go in the phone and wants to call I may have the number in the quick list but then I have to get the keypad away to see it. Isnt there a way to get it to appear only when I actually press the keypad button?
That was the first three questions, I suspects there will be plenty more after a while But I would appreciate any help I can get

those are not problems. those are you not reading diamond's manual or searching the forum. anyway:

this is a feature not a bug and it is for you not to start any app with yr ear.
it can be override in many ways. one of them is using advance configuration 3.2. search! search!

try settings/phone/ring type/ vibrate and ring or vibrate the ring.

also can be changed. in phone mode go to menu/view/speed dial. this way when you call you'll get behind the phone pad yr speed dial. just push the little phone icon in the middle, lower screen and you'll have the speed dial only.

i hope that next questions you are going to ask are going to be after you'll read the manual and a few threads here or you'll get ignored or worse...seriously flamed.

I was told to put Phone sleep during call and fast sleep during call to Disable and Not Allowed in AC but the problems still remains.

I want to change the way the keypad acts. So its never appears automatically when the phone thinks I´m gonna use it, when I´m gonna write a SMS for example

Lag When Answering Calls

[Since I posted this in the ROM Dev. section by accident, hope it's alright to post here in the proper section.]
I don't know if you GSM guys have had this problem, but my CDMA Diamond seems to.
Whenever I receive a call and I press the "Answer" button or hard key, it doesn't seem to connect instantly and allow me to talk. It would stay at the menu and I could continue to press "Answer" with nothing happening. Then after a minute it would finally connect and I can talk, provided the other person hasn't hung up yet.
Anyone know any solutions?

when i pres answer button it takes some seconds to connect
Hi, also me here when i press answer button i takes some seconds until somebody hers me, after i pres answer buton i shuld repet helo hello 3-4 untill the line gets conected
can anybody ansver

What rom are you using right now? I had this problem on Juicy2.1(Sprint), but it went away when I flashed to 2.2

Same here with all tested ROMS and same with all previous HTC devices ... seems to be standard "windows mobile behavior"
Edit: but I am on GSM

yeah, i also get this problem when hanging up as well, it takes ages to hang up, long after i've pressed the button or ended the call on the touchscreen

there is a string for "out call", is referred to idlecall...
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallProgressIdleTimeout
normally is setted at 3 (seconds) but you can change at 0
also for incoming calls:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\PhoneExtendSetting\EndCallTime
change always to 0
try those changes it should answer & hangup faster
bye,
davide

Just tried this, had a friend phone me, looks like it connected instantly this time. Of course, it's just 1 call, I'll have to see what happens with more incoming calls. Thanks for the suggestion!

Cannot find this entry in my registry - 1.93:
also for incoming calls:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\PhoneExtendSetting\EndCall Time
change always to 0
Any idea?
Thanks

Brendo, I LOVE YOU!
I can actually get calls from a locked state now!
You have no idea how much time, work, and frustration you have saved me.
What a concept.. A phone that answers calls!
Such oversight on the part of Sprint.

Dammit I cant find the registry!
I avoid .cabs.

its hard to answer calls on hd7 when phone is acting up

hey guys sometime when i get and incoming call my phone start acting up and i cant slide up to take the call, my screen wont respond and no hard keys to press if some one know how to fix this please let me know if not im giving this wp7 a 2nd software update a chace to get this right. ms should be a genieus when it comes to software not apple or google. you never know when a emergency call comes in and you could not get it, im so concern about this. i had enough with 6.5 now this. but the problem is that i love ms i keep coming back. ****tttt

if a soft reset doesn't fix it you could hard reset. Just make sure you make a list of installed apps to make sure you get them all back on there.
I hadn't heard of this happening before.

I had the same problem once. I just switched the display off and on again (while the phone was still ringing) and then I could take the call.

+1 this happens from time to time.
hit the POWER button to shut of screen, this just powers of the sound and display and does not efect the incoming call.
Press the POWER button to turn the screen back on where you still see the incoming call and the screen will now respond correctly allowing you to answer.
no need to rest or anything.

Phone call trouble. HELP!

Hey guys, I've been experiencing some strange issues while attempting to make calls.
So I tap on a contact and it goes to the Google dialer and it says "Dialing" above the contact name. It will just sit there and hang on the "Dialing" for 30-60 seconds before I tap on the hangup button. Then the "Hanging up" is displayed where "Dialing" used to be and it will continue saying "Hanging up" for X amount of minutes. During this process, I cannot make/receive calls and cannot cancel out of the "Hanging up" process. I can go back to my contact list, but cannot click names. Nothing happens when I do click them.
This usually ends with me rebooting my phone and started happening after the 5.1 update. I'm running stock everything. Any help. Please.

Happens to me too, Tmobile and it has happened with every iteration of 5.1 I am now on H and it hasnt been too bad. Sometimes when I hit the red hang up button, it actually connects.

I'm on T-Mobile. Not sure where to find what 5.1 build I'm on. Do you need the Kernel version? All it says under Android version is 5.1

Perhaps this is related to the enhanced calling mode which seems to have its share of bugs thus far.

How can I turn off the enhanced calling features? The thing is, this doesn't happen every time. Earlier this morning, when I unlocked my phone, I still had the Hanging up section on and couldn't exit out. I didn't even attempt to make a call this morning. I did last night though. So that means the Hanging up was stuck in the process all night and I didn't even realize it.
