Ive Noticed Ever Since Purchasing My Tilt (about 3 Weeks Now) I Have Had To More And More, Have To Sleep On The Couch (my Wifes Doing). Is There A Rom Or Hack For This Problem.
......sorry I Could Not Resist.......
Maybe you should see if there's a CAB available that will remove her. I know there's a Yellow cab ready at all times
Also, see if you can find a registry hack that will disable the annoying capitalizing of every word in your posts. We Don'T Have To Capitalize Every Word Cause It's Annoying, and it wont qualify you for better parking if your CAPS lock is only partially disabled.

I have had the same problem! And it got pretty bad for a few days, until I figured out a solution.
This is a bit complicated so pay very close attention (or you may want to jot these instructions down to refer to later):
1. turn the phone to look at the right side of the unit
2. locate a tiny button with a little red symbol on it. (You may have used this jewel of a button to awake your awesome Kaiser (a.k.a. at&t Tilt) phone when it has fallen asleep (while you got distracted for a few moments).
3. PRESS this button for only 1-second and release. I have learned - through trial and error - that this button also turns OFF the phone. BUT DONT WORRY! It's not really off, its just sleeping and you will still receive calls, text messages and even calendar event reminders (whew I worried about receiving these!).
I know these instructions can be very stressful, but they may have saved my marriage. I would highly consider you trying this procedure at least once an evening (like during meals, when your spouse is trying to communicate with you, and especially (grin) at 1am while your laying in bed browsing the xda-developers forums for all the cool tools, cabs and Roms out there and your wife rolls over and says, "don't you ever put that thing down??!!"
;-)
Sorry about the caps i wa not paying attention.

You have to make sure you get the right kind of cab though... It can be confusing because here in the DC area yellow cabs aren't yellow, they are bright orange??? You must be very careful because you must be sure you really want to do that before you run the cab. It is usually very painful, difficult, and expensive to uninstall the wife update. Even then if you manage to partially uninstall the wife, if you have added new devices to your PAN while the wife update was installed then it may take up to 18 years to fully uninstall the wife. It wrecks havoc with your network settings, and often once uninstalled the wife update will often take half of your network resources and permissions with it (sometimes all of them!). Also be very careful of MIL.dll. It often installs itself in the background when the wife update is being installed. MIL.dll is often considered spyware, nagware, and often it falls within both categories, but there is often nothing much that can be done about MIL.dll without uninstalling the wife update. Some feel it is worth starting all over again with just a bare-bones system, but most feel that the benefits of the wife update outweigh the negatives. It is better to live with the occasional problems that the wife update may cause, than to try and remove it.
Try hard reseting her. Hold down both of her soft nipples and stick your stylus in her butt. That should get quick results. haha

I knew I was doing something wrong, I kept putting her in bootloader mode but she said she'd never done that before!

I'm using Dutty's special Bottylicious ROM. Works great with softcore resets like that! haha
LMAO! Maybe you could just install another cab Iv seen around, It's called abitontheside.cab, it can be simply installed without going through all the bother of unstalling the wife update. Just make sure you dont run both at the same time as Iv heard they can conflict with each other.
I bought my wife an iPhone, now she can't say anything because she spends just as much time surfing the web and playing with the other 4 things you can do with an iPhone
I've been meaning to ask this for months, but I keep forgetting. Today I scoured the site, but can't find anyone with the same problem. Either I'm going crazy or I hear a frequency that nobody else can (lol - "Unbreakable").
Basically, right after I hang up a call, my phone lets out a few audible "twangs." That's the only way I can describe it. WHAT IS IT? Some bizarre audio phenomenon like when cell phones get too close to computer speakers?
I know it's not just my phone - I went through 4 RMA Tilts thanks to RLoD issues, and they've all done it.
Either I'm going crazy (or becoming a superhero) or I'm an idiot and this is by design and I'm missing something obvious.
It just means the call was disconnected. It's useful if your call gets dropped, so you don't keep saying "Hello? Hello?" The phone will twang so you know the other person has hung up or otherwise got disconnected.
Yep I find it annoying too. One beep to let me know I've hung up the phone is fine, but the ding ding ding thing is annoying. Sounds like my phone is going to explode.

Thank you. So it turns out:
1) I'm a first-class goob.
2) It still annoys me.
3) It must not work all the time, because when I have calls dropped, sometimes I do find myself saying "hello" for a time. (Or maybe I've just blocked the sound out entirely.)
4) Now that you mention it, sometimes I DO appreciate it that it lets me know I've been disconnected, sometimes. But why does it do it when I just manually hang up? I certainly don't need to know the call's been dropped THEN.
5) MY BOTTOM LINE (eg - my excuse for being a goob): The sound doesn't sound like an on-purpose thing. It sounds random, like a mistake or a glitch. Hence my confusion.

Thank you for justifying my #5, and thank you for trying to make me feel better about being a goob.
Now let's just let this thread fade into the nether-regions of the forum...

I dont know if it helps, but try to disable the notification for new sms.
ill try that... but i do still want sound
think im jus outta luck, ill jus have to deal w/ it.
it bothers the hell out of me too.
i wish there was a fix.
In order for there to be a "fix," it has to be broken first. This is how it was designed. When you get a message the phone wakes and receives the message. Therefore, the screen lights up. So there is no "fix," its functioning as designed. Though if anyone knows of "tweak" you may be able to change it. But I really don't think there is a way.
wow dude lol i couldnt care less about terminology... its a problem for me and its annoying so i want a fix for the problem
Blackberry knows wut theyre doing , jus makes the noise and screen stays off!! lol
o well ill live

There you go again asking for a "fix" to the screen lighting up. The point I'm trying to make is that this is like going to Ford and saying every time I turn the Wheel to the Left the car goes Left. Can you fix that?
Also, I would think that preventing the Screen from Coming on when the Device is "doing something" would prevent it from coming on when you wanted to.

lol not everywants their screen to light up when somthing comes in, everyone wants thier car to turn left when they turn the wheel left.
cant believe we r goin this far about a word, but im not quitting!!
Definitions of fix...
1. to repair; mend.
2. to put in order or in good condition; adjust or arrrange: She fixed her hair in a bun.
3. to make fast, firm, or stable.
4. to place definitely and more or less permanently: to fix a circus poster to a wall.
5. to settle definitely; determine: to fix a price.
6. to direct (the eyes, the attention, etc.) steadily: His eyes were fixed on the distant ship.
7. to attract and hold (the eye, the attention, etc.).
8. to make set or rigid.
9. to put into permanent form.
10. to put or place (responsibility, blame, etc.) on a person.
11. to assign or refer to a definite place, time, etc.
12. to provide or supply with (something needed or wanted): How are you fixed for money?
13. Informal. to arrange or influence the outcome or action of, esp. privately or dishonestly: to fix a jury; to fix a game.
14. to get (a meal); prepare (food): What time shall I fix supper?
15. Informal. to put in a condition or position to make no further trouble.
16. Informal. to get even with; get revenge upon: I'll fix him!
so from these examples it obviously means something doesnt have to be broken to be fixed. could mean many things, and im using number 2, adjust or arrange. like it says, doesnt mean the girls hair was broken, she jus didnt like it so she fixed it to make it better.
FIX my screen from lighting up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha
I think it is a problem. My back light goes on from an email and stays on till the battery dies or I notice it. I have to be careful and check it frequently or I get a dead phone by lunch. I need the backlight to do what I setup in the power settings - I think it should be turning itself off. It ain't.
u changed it under power settings and under backlight settings?? def shouldnt stay on toooo long!
ki think we are outta luck here. I have the same problem.
I just have to lock the device from having anything accidently turn on
look mr. mcgee, you are very right ("its functioning as designed"), but it's a poor design to say the least. (Fire the turd that came up with that design)
If someone sends me a message i'm forced to stop everything i'm doing so that my phone doesn't get into mischief and go calling other people without my knowing.
I usually have my phone in my holster with S2U2 running. If only there was a way S2U2 would not wake up for anything other than a phone call, but would still vibrate or ring you when you receive an sms or the like.
If someone could come up with a fix..(or excuse me)... a tweak..... I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
+1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a poor design maybe for u and some other few people. The majority think its a good design. I cant seem to understand your problem. When someone sends me an sms and my phone is in my case(holster) and I dont want to read it, I just leave it and the backlight turns of itself. Where is the problem?

Pretty much exactly my point. It seems every month or so some person comes in and attacks the phone for doing what its supposed to. This is the second Light comes on when I get a SMS thread I've seen. Next people will complain because the phone is ringing when they get a phone call.
As for the person who's light stays on indefinitely after receiving a email you may actually have a problem. The phone sometimes will "stay awake" if there is some program running in the background that is misbehaving.

Thank heavens I am not the only one. I thought someone from xda made a secret competition and the winner will be the one that have the most complains on his phone. If u dont like your phone, buy another one that suites u better then this one. Sorry for being so b*tchy.

Phones and everything in life can always be more. In this case our phones could, and in my opinion should, be more customizeable. The reason they aren't is because if the phone user feels overwhelmed by the complexity of their device, they may not like it and will be less likely to buy another in the future, so from a marketing standpoint there is reason to dumb things down to a degree.
I, however, want as much customizeability as possible.
My girlfriend's Samsung i760 behaves different from my kaiser. On her phone SMS messages will NOT bring the phone out of standby (and turn the display on.) It does give the requested sound and/or vibration alert and flash the LED and display the message notification on screen (when you turn it on) for the set time periods, though. The i760 runs WM6 like our kaisers. My kaiser, as well as every other HTC device I've ever owned does take the phone out of standby and turn the display on for SMS, though. So this tells me there definitely is some software method of tweaking it so that it does what you want. I don't know what it is, but it would sure be nice of someone knew of a registry setting for it.
BTW, our kaisers take the phone out of standby for SMS and MMS (and phone calls, of course), but don't do so for emails. Every day email and SMS become closer to eachother to me in significance and importance, so why shouldn't they cause the phone to behave in the same way?

Interesting. I'm sure there is something that could be done. I'd be willing to look into it. But I'd need a Samsung i760 to see if I could pull any info or software from it. So if anyone has a Samsung i760 they'd like to give me for development purposes of course, I'd see if we could figure out how to make this happen.
BTW, My phone does turn on the screen when I get an email.

ok, good point. Have u tried some sms applications? Maybe they have the option to not to turn the screen on. (just a suggestion).
If this ever happens to you, you have a bad phone and should return it. I really hate it when MY phone wakes up and decides to randomly call someone in Hong Kong.
Seriously - I have to understand this - you really honestly think that your phone can wake up and call someone, or email someone, or SMS someone without you doing something?

I have my phone about 2.5-3hft away. I feel like I have to speak loudly for it to hear my commands. Is there away to tweak this?
I have tried a few other MotoX and found this to be the same on all of them. I feel I need to almost yell.

I forget where I read this (might've been reddit) but when you train the Ok Google now command, some people would put the phone away from them at varying distances. 1st - arm Length, then 2nd maybe 8ft away and then 3rd 10-12 feet away. I've done this, but make sure it is in a quiet room. The phone will try to prevent you from doing this, so you'll need to prop it on it's side with something.
Another trick is to say it differently everytime you say it. So like putting emphasis on different words or vowel, or maybe changing the inflection in your voice per command. Or you can just change the pitch. Go a little higher one time and a little lower another time. 1. normal 2.high 3.low
I've done this and it seems to perform a little better when I call to it across a room for instance. The downside is that depending on how you did it, other people may be able to use the command too.
That helped a LOT thanks!
So Google Voice to Text has always worked VERY well on my N6 but for the past few months is confuses a lot of works. First off I'm American, and I speak in a normal northern USA (Michigan) accent. GV2T has always worked 99.999% of the time.
Over the past few months it's gone to hell.
It confuses words SO bad I can't even think how it comes up with some of the stuff it things I'm saying.
Another big one was pucuation always worked. I could say period and get a ".", I would say question mark and get a "?" or explanation point and get a "!" but now it spells out the words most of the time. The two worst ones are comma and explication point. For comma I normally get the word comma, koma or komma but rarely a "," anymore. Explanation points always wrong now, just get the words.
This worked almost 100% a couple few months ago.
I've tried HeckNoTechno's ShamuM ROM and I'm on Pure Nexus now. I've tried Franco's Kernels, The EX kernels, nothing I flash software wise fixes it.
I've played around in Google settings etc. Am I missing something? I thought there was a setting somewhere that forces it to convert the worlds to the actual symbol's. I remember seeing it back in the day.
Wonder if Google has learned some quirk about my voice. Can I start over?
The girlfriend just got a new Samsung S7 yesterday and the Google Voice to Text is FLAWLESS for me, right out of the box on her G-Account.
