I will enter a date or appointment and with in a few minutes it is gone! This has happened several-MANY times, even after I have removed the battery, and sim turned the phone on and off..Have any of you had this problem and how to correct it? Thank you,
Are you syncing with another application? Which?
Do you have bluetoothe syncing enabled - and - is it active in your calendar sync?
Does it happen randomly or only when you enter a date or appointment?
Has this happenned from when you first bought your device - or - did it begin after an update or an additional application addition?
Peace-

My apts are always entered as corp. apts for my corp exchange account. This acct is set to sync every 15 minutes during the day. This is how I keep track of my time and post it to my server for accounting and billing. This didnt start happening until I had had the phone for about 2 months. Now it occurs randomly. My sync is via wiFi or At&t data link. I dont use Blue tooth. Things will work fine for several days then one day decide not to for a while. I had sat there and entered a service call 3 and 4 times only to watch it dissappear within 5 minutes. Turning the phone off, taking the battery out might fit it or might not. Then it will start working again. The next day it will work for sure. Phone has been replaced once with the same problems. I have very few apps as this is mostly a phone and time keeping tool for me.
Thank you for your help

I've set up automatic mailbox checking every 15 minutes. Works fine in general, but I've found two issues with it:
1) I've used KaiserTweak to disconnect active data session automatically after 1 minute of inactivity. Work ok, unless phone is sleeping. So, for instance, if GPRS/3G data connection for automatic email check is initiated while phone is sleeping, it WON'T turn off after 1 minute. When I switch phone back on from sleep and keep it awake for more than minute - then it will disconnect. Is there any way to overcome this problem?
2) Usually, when new SMS message comes in, phone is awaked and I can see the message straight on the screen. Unfortunately this is not the case with emails - when new mail arrives through automatic check, I can only hear new email sound and light starts flashing amber, but phone iself is still sleeping, and I need to turn it on manually.
Anyone stepped into these issues before and found any solutions? Thanks in advance.

It's dead easy - when you set up a new mailbox through wizard (username, password, servers etc.), the last screen asks whether you want to check email automatically every xx minutes/hours or manually...

Ah. Thanks for that, been bugging me for days
I'll keep an eye out for the issues you're having, see if it''s the same with my phone.
Ill repost in here, as i know what its like when a new thread is started, the first few replies are to search ... this is proof i have tried
Im also noticing that the "disconnect after 1 minute" doesnt work when in standby mode, which kinda defeats the object. Is there a fix anywhere so it disconnects after a minute even while in standby mode ?
Hey!
I seriously need some help here. Toolbar clock keeps changing. Suddenly it is on time and then the next time I turn it on it might have gone back 2 hours.
Example.
I turn it on and the clock shows 15.34.
I check my calendar and turn it off (standby)
I turn it on again the next time, say after 30 min. The clock SHOULD show 16.04, but it might say 07.17.
Anybody had the same problem?
I tried calling out, send a message, etc. but the clock does not change. Sometimes it goes back to normal, ie. it displays the correct time without me doing anything, but today it has not and the time is still wrong.
This is seriously annoying. I use my phone as my watch and I need it to display the correct time at ALL times.
Thanks
Hi, helangen.
I had a similar problem involving time. I kept finding that every so often my appointments kept changing by an hour. Everytime I went to the clock settings it showed plus one hour. So changed it back and then it would do it again and change to a time zone ahead.
Under "settings/personal/phones" there is a tab that says time zones. this controls whether or not the phone changes the time zones and clock automatically.
Personally, i erased my phone using clear storage under "settings/system" and started a fresh making sure I choose the right time zone and regional settings first off. Then entered all my reoccuring appointments and restored a copy of my PIM with the latest version of PIMBACKUP. At least this saved me entering all my contacts and kept my sms and mms.
I then unticked the automatic option I mentioned earlier and have had not one time related problem since.
Don't know if this will help but it can't hurt to share as you never know..

Cheers. I'll give that a try. It's not that the clock just changes with an hour, but it is totally random how it changes. I might have to do a hard reset ;(
I can confirm that this solution worked. Thanks. Turned off the automatic timezone change and the clock have been correct for three days straight.
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.
Out of nowhere when i rebooted my phone i got a messege on my phone saying "The SIM card was recently removed, sign into your account to verify identiy" I try loging in but it says its wrong. I cant do anything with the phone when its like this. I found a work around with a custom lockscreen if i turn on airplane mode as soon as it turns on. but its extremly annyoying not being able to use the home button!!! So if anyone has a fix please tell me D:. Im rooted and safestraped on a deoxed version of the stock rom (well i think it is) I just got the phone last night, i started having thease issues later this morning though.
Its a known issue with the RAZR and the Droid 4, the only solution is to hard reset the device.
If anyone is curious I actually found a temp fix for this!! What you do is you restart your phone, as soon as it turns on, quickly turn airplane mode on. Your phone works perfectly now...its just useless. SO TO FIX THAT. You must then go to wireless settings and turn on wifi. Our main goal is to remove your email from accounts, in my case, it was my verizon yahoo email. I think its whatever email shows up for you to verify. If you try removing it over wifi though it will have a server error.
So since you can at least go in the market now (or google play now or whatever lol) you should download an app called LockMenu (free version) that will replace your lockscreen and it has a slider to go directly to your home launcher, once that works fine you can turn airplane mode off. (Your home button and notification bar dont work right now btw) In any case now that your phones data is on again you can now just go to accounts and remove the cursed email.
Now just reboot, and you shouldn't have the error!
Hallelujah
I signed up for an account just to say Thank You to Artic.Light!! I was customizing my phone and while setting up my gmail account activity feed my phone froze up. Upon reboot I received the "SIM card removed" message and was completely f-ing devastated. My GF is 9 months preggers and was out and about in heavy rain so communication was critical. I was freaking out and scrambling for like a half hour looking online for someone who cracked the code. After finally finding and following Artic.Light's instructions my phone is back up and running fine and I could not be happier!! Mega Huge Thanx!!!!
FIX
I found a fix for this. Do what the guy said and put the phone in airplane mode. Reboot the phone and turn it back on. Airplane mode should still be on when the phone comes back on. Simply go to the dial pad. call someone, it will give you a message about airplane mode being turned off, just ignore it and complete the phone call. Stay connected in the phone call for about 2 minutes to allow the sim card to refresh. and thats it.

Nick, did your solution continue to work after fixing it and then powering off? Unfortunately, it did not for me. I'd been using the power off in airplane mode method, then after powering on, make a call. I typically just call me voice mail and hang up after a few seconds. Your suggestion gave me hope but after leaving the call open (with my work phone) for several minutes (and trying it a couple times, it reverted back to the same issue.
Does anyone know why they don't just fix the bug?

in other news.....meh...i dont know what actually causes the bug...i ended just doing a factory reset...I think that fixed my problem....still annoying as heck though
SIM Removed
You just need to mention the e-mail account password I tried and it works perfectly.
Today I entered 3 events into my calendar. 45 mins later they were missing. I had to enter them a second time and thankfully they remained. This has happened many times over the past number of months. It's why I always get an appointment card at doctor visits. does anyone know what could be causing it? could it be that I turn on and off my mobile data?
