I've been using the original AT&T rom on my Tilt for a while.
For new message notifications, I set it to make a sound only (ie. no message on screen or vibration etc).
With the old rom, whenever Blackberry Connect pushed new email to my phone, it would just make the sound and stay off.
Now with the new 1.62 rom, the phone turns on with every new message.
I have installed all the same apps, the notification settings are the same (even the sound file) - so I have no idea if this is a "new feature" in the rom or not.
I usually keep my backlight on max with a 3-4min switch off but now with it switching on intermittently, I've had to keep it on min backlight and 30sec switch off - and it still drains my battery life before the end of the day!
Anyone else seeing this problem? I tried searching the Kaiser forums and found nobody reporting the same problem.
On a positive note, the new rom seems to have stabilized the phone. With BBC on previous rom, I had quite a few of the "phone freeze" problems daily. So far after the first day - no freezing... did I just trade-off one problem for another (albeit less critical)?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
I don't think it's a new feature, because I haven't had that happen with mine. I hate to suggest a hard reset, but that may be your best solution...I'm not using blackberry connect, that may be the cause of the problem.
thanks snooginsguy for the response.
Well when the rom was upgraded that effectively hard reset my system. I just reinstalled my apps from scratch yesterday - so I'm guessing hard resetting again and repeating the reinstall probably won't fix things.
What's weird is using Blackberry connect on the old rom didn't do this previously. Anyone else with BBC on the new AT&T rom experiencing this phenomena?

Yes, I am. It used to be that the screen would come on for 5 secs. and then turn back on after an email was received. Now it just turns ON until I turn it OFF. I'm going back to one of the WM6.1 ROMs today, but not because of this.
I'm having this issue as well.
It's also happening with BBC & some of the leaked WM 6.1 ROMS.
I 'solved' it by installing S2U2 on the phone, since it keeps the phone locked & turns the screen back off after 30 seconds.
I'm having the same problem... upgraded and now every time an email comes in the screen turns on.. .sucks... someone find a fix.. please..
If you run phoneAlarm from pocket max...there is a setting under the advanced settings which automatically turns off the phone (hibernates it) after a system notification...and saves loads of battery power.
I don't run BB connect on my Tilt, but I bet that this would do the trick.
I've got the exact same problem. It's killing my battery. I may try turning back on the horrendous BlackBerry Lock application, which pretty much locks up the UI (and in many cases blocks notifications that I DO want to hear). The lock application also caused my Tilt to grind to a halt about 50% of the time, so I had to soft reset just to make a phone call. I'll look into some of the add-on apps mentioned here as well.
What's sad is that no one supports BlackBerry Connect. I contact HTC with a different issue, and they said "We only support BlackBerry Connect on the Tilt", to which I obviously replied "Uh, I have a Tilt, so why can't you help me?". They then came back with, "You need to contact RIM, who created the application". If you go to RIM's website, there is no way to contact them unless you have a support contract. Anyone know of a way to report bugs with this app?
I'll post anything I find that fixes this. It's annoying having to keep my Tilt hooked up to my PC all day long so my battery doesn't die at noon.

Can anyone confirm if this phenomenon may be specific to BBC 4.0.0.97? I don't use 1.62 but do use BBC 4.0.0.97 and see this happen. It didn't happen until I 'upgraded'. Coincidence or not?
I cannot remember which one, but I did experience this with a rom awhile ago. But my rom now does not do this with email messages...it only does that with blocked phone calls when I use magicall. So to counter this I have installed slide2unlock so that it comes on for only a few seconds and then cuts off again. I do not use BBC btw and my rom is Sleuths 6.1
Ok - great - I guess I'm not the only one having this happen. This last week I've been repeatedly getting the "battery is low" warning before 6pm - which is inconvenient since I'd like a phone to last a full day w/o having to charge it.
With the previous rom, I never had to charge it midstream - and I've had this phone since it came out on AT&T last year.
Regarding Deltaflyer's question about whether he thinks it's BBC .097 - that could very well be the case - especially if other folks not using the BBC are also not experiencing the problem.
I'll see if I can try uninstalling .097 and reverting to the old one (I think I have it saved somewhere) next week...
Fix for phone switching on
I have the same problem too. I use activesync to sync over the internet to my Exchange server. In Sounds and Notification, if I uncheck the "Events(warnings, system events). My screen doesn't light up anymore. Hope this helps!
I confirm : switching back from bbc 4.0.0.97 to .92 stops waking up the device when receiving a mail.
At least will save my battery
I'm on scap's Rom

thanks for the suggestion sanguy888.
That's typically one of the first things I do when I setup my phone. Only in this case, it did not resolve the issue.
Sounds like ben5757 has confirmed it's the bbc update.
ben5757 - would you give us an update in a few days - please to let us know how .92 is working with scap's rom? Anything freezing?
Thanks in advance!
I'm on a Tytn II, operated by SFR (France), Schap's ROM 4.31, BBC connected to a BES server.
Had installed BBC 4.0.0.97, but each email wakes the device fromsleeping mode, and consumes battery much too fast (more than 60 mails per day...).
Have uninstalled .97 and installed .92. Works without any problem since 2 days, and device remains in sleeping mode even when receiving pushmail.

Can you point me in the direction of .92? I have .97 installed and the waking up every time an email arrives is driving me nuts. Only other version I have is .84. Thanks.
Try this

I would add that I have doubled my battery lifetime
Wanted to thank ben5757 for all his support.
With the AT&T rom 1.62 & BBC .92 - my Tilt no longer switches on after each email. So far after a day's worth of email pushing - about 75 emails, I have experienced no freezing issues and battery life is back to my original Tilt days (which was only needing to charge nightly).
Talk about a win-win situation!!!
I'll see how long I can keep the device running w/o a soft reset!
The best thing was I didn't need to hard reset to downgrade to BBC .92. Just had to uninstall .97, then install .92 (after a soft reset). Also had to tell my corporate IT that I had to reactivate my corporate BB account. I was back up and running in less than 15mins!

Thanks. Worked like a charm switching to .92.
My kaiser has the AT&T rom from factory after using OZ IM, the IM program that comes installed, I've noticed that my phone randomly comes out of stand-by not only when signed in, but also when the program is closed (even after a soft reset).
Also, just going on the program, how can I change it to stop saying "Notification" on my Today screen, which I think is the cause for my stand-by issue.
By the way, IM+ and Beejuve aae currently giving me problems. Computer crashed, lost the installers and I don't want to mess with it again at this time...
Hey guys/girls...
I flashed my kaiser about a week ago with the newest official HTC wm6.1 rom (the WWE version). Everything was great, plus i finally managed to send and recieve my emails with my googlemail account...
however, since friday its been acting very slow... even opening the HTC action screen, and selecting "new sms" either took 5 minutes or just didnt do anything... I was having to soft reset every 10 minutes in order to get any life out of it! I've since got rid of my hotmail account, which i think was causing the slowness (as my kaiser auto downloaded the first 50 emails to my phone, which i believe tends to hog resources and slows everything down). Its been responding much better since then... but this morning it started being slow again, and even came up with a "noisey screen" - meaning a mixmash of pixels and colours... which didnt want to go away.
I also have the same old invisible txt when i type an SMS, but only after I've typed about 30/40 characters... and yes, ive disabled cleartype in the system and in kaisertweak.
I've installed hardly anything onto it, and i dont get why im having these issues... it was running super fast and smooth just after I'd flashed it, but its just been getting real slow again... slower than before it got flashed!
any ideas/pointers would help greatly
Also, does anyone know what BTcoreif.dll is/does?
Do a hard reset and then don't change anything until you have made sure all is running fine, then add the next change (one at a time) and wait again. That will help you isolate the cause.
So, I really needed/wanted a program, like the locking slider for the iphone, for my phone. And eventually, I stumbled across S2U2, I didn't read about any big issues with it, and everyone loved it. So I installed it right away last night on my phone. My phone worked Lag FreeandFlawlesslybefore installing the app. After the installation of the latest VGA version of the app, it worked great and did everything I needed it to do, with hardly any noticeable lag on the phone or anything since installing it. Today, it still worked great, however, I accidentally did a soft reset on my phone, and when it booted back up .... I was getting MAJOR LAG. I tried to close every program and shut down S2U2, but that did absolutely nothing. The memory status in task manager said it was only at about 30-32%, as it normally is with no programs running in the background, but this time, the phone is lagging horrendously. It's so bad, I can't even access my texts messages readily, sometimes they take forever to load when opening one. I knew S2U2 had to be the problem, so I uninstalled it using the add/remove program option in the windows settings folder. After that, I did another soft reset. Great, the program is now gone, however, the same horrible lag is still there. Did the program edit a reg key or something? I'm almost certain the program is the root of this evil. Can someone please help me out? If no one can, I'll try to e-mail the developer, but he'll probably be browsing around on here anyway. Also, I'm sorry if this is not the right place for such a post, my apologies.
P.S- I'm running the latest Verizon Stock ROM, which was released fairly recently, and therefore, this phone is on the Verizon Network.
Thanks,
Chris
I've had my Sprint Touch Diamond pretty much as soon as they came out so in a couple of months it will be 1 year old. I've never really had that many issues until now.....
In the past month I have had to reset (ie return phone back to how it was when originally delivered) my phone 4 times !! And in every instance it's been because Touch Flo refuses to load.....
At first I thought it was because I was installing loads of [email protected] little applications etc, but I think it might be down to Microsoft my phone beta...... Although the program has helped me retrieve pretty much everything I needed to retrieve after each reset, it doesn't take long before it fails to sync and everything seems to go bad again.
Last night I tried un-installing the myphone beta app, and due to how slow everything runs when touch flo refuses to load I had to leave it over night...... By the time i got up in the morning it was un-installed and Touch Flo was running....
I re-booted my phone mid-morning today, and although Touch flo took around 5mins to load it did at least load, albeit with the following message...
cannot load \windows\myphoneruntime.exe which suggests it didn't fully install properly..... Anyway I decided to install a registry editor and see if i could find any rogue entries but I couldn't use the reg editor like i would on Windows XP for instance and so drew a blank.
To try and un-install my phone beta properly, I re-installed it and synced which went without a hitch. Then I rebooted my phone and again Touch Flo does not run.... So I'm almost certain something in this My Phone beta is a problem which is probably why its still in beta....
Just wondered if anyone else had similar problems / Issue's? And also if anyone can give me advice regarding the reg editor......
Thanks in advance....
Never had that problem with the TouchFlo 3D. although it does seem to be a bit slow at times. Have you tried just...blowing your phone, and reloading the stock sprint ROM? maybe just starting over fresh?
Re-instating the stock Sprint ROM is what I've had to do 4 times this month. Not 100% sure why I keep getting the issue back, but it does seem to be Microsft myphone Beta that is a constant link. Maybe I need to reset device 1 last time and manually re-instate contacts etc etc etc
It’s a simple calendar plugin that adds a tab to the TouchFlo 3D interface.
This is not a Cab Installation , so you will have to use transfer the files to your device via Active Sync / Mobile Device Center or using a File Explorer.

now load touch flo
same problem
I had a similar experience a few days ago. It seems I tried to sync via My Phone beta and then canceled it midway. After a few soft resets and wondering what was going on, I let My Phone sync again completely. After that everything was back up to speed but I uninstalled the beta ASAP. I was pretty happy with it but this is aggravating.
Same problem here!
In addition to this, The antenna shows no service (although service is active and I can make calls) and the phone's GUI is very slow to react to any action.
I have an old Juicy ROM (from last Fall) which I liked very much for its stability. I did install and run the beta application of geocaching.com for windows mobile and now TouchFlo won't start anymore no matter what I do to restart my phone.
I will have to back up everything and reinstall a new ROM hoping that this will fix the problem.
If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, let us know
[update]
The phone could not connect to ActiveSync and thus I was unable to flash a new ROM.
In order to resolve the issue, I cleared the storage (but left the internal storage intact) and rebooted. The phone was just fine after this, but I took the opportunity to install the latest Mighty ROM.
cheers.
Having the same problem with mine.... I had the original Sprint ROM on it when it started happening.
I initially tried a clear/erase everything from the OS (hard reset?) and that didn't help.
I tried updating it with the latest official ROM from Sprint/HTC. No dice.
Funny thing is if I wait like 12+ hours after turning it on, sometimes Touch Flo finally loads.
Other issues ive noticed while its acting like this is, opera crashes on load, active sync connects but wont sync contacts, and the battery life seems about half of what it normally is.
Short of the story is I am having Sprint send me a replacement.
I had the same problem and solved it by flashing mightyrom couldn't connect to activesync either so i had to hold power down volume and reset switch and do the flash from that coloured screen. i think it has something to do with a memory flaw and wipeing everything out solves it.
