Hey everyone
Has anyone else noticed that their TyTN II wakes from standby when switching between GPRS and 3G. At least I think this is why mine appears to wake up randomly! It will be sat on my desk in standby mode and then the screen will switch on and the signal strength bars will move.
I've checked to make sure nothing is running in the background and performed a soft reboot.
Any ideas?
Hi
The Kaiser does turn on at least once every hour (some house keeping tasks), and will turn on if the mobile signal is lost. However these on's are in unattended mode which means the device appears off to the owner so the screen will not come on.
If you have some software that likes to do work or updates the today page for example, that software may be detecting the device has turned on and in order to get your attention or just through bad programming, issues a power announcement to say turn on proper, hence the display lights up!
Regards
Phil
Thanks for the info, I'll have a look what I have on there and try and isolate what is causing the power ups.
Cheers for the help.
If you have sprite backup installed with the auto backup on low power option that causes occasional power ups to enable the power check.
I may have solved this issue. After uninstalling enAlarm the phone, no longer appears to be waking. I'm still monitoring it though
i have the same problem when im signed on to AIM. Once i sign off it stops waking up, but if its on it'll wake up every 5 minutes or so, and it is in fact annoying. Havent found out the solution for it yet so i just dont really use it that often

it's when a friend log's in or out of AIM.. it's a paint, rediculious and ATT refuses to get rid of OZ messanger and use a real one.
here's the kicker. it supposed to use TEXT , but when a friend logs in or out, the message is sent to your phone, and then DATA brings up the list..
STUPID and ignorant of ATT but,. big companies do what they want!
I have been having the same problem as well. I just installed this DeviceLock program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305402
If you enable the "Lock on Wake" option, the device will be locked when it wakes up, so the backlight stays off and you won't call anyone by accidentally hitting buttons.
Also, I ran across this related thread you might want to check out (basically talking about the same thing, but for the Tilt):

Hello guys,
I need to have my phone locked while talking coz my ear touching the screen launches unexpected apps.
please help.
Thats strange as when you put the phone near your ear/head when making a call the screen goes off which stops you from pressing any buttons accidentally. Although i usually press the middle button to turn the screen back on but even if i got the phone pressed against my ear and shoulder...ive never ever started any un-necessary apps.
Maybe get your ears fixed by the doctor.

what you want is default in 99% of the phones.... there are a lot and i mean a lot of posts here asking for the contrary: keep the screen off !
somebody finally discovered that all the registry tweaks are not working because this is triggered by the light (or motion' or both) sensor (keep yr phone face up when ringing and the screen does not go off).
you must be the only soul that is complaining that his screen is not going off
anyway try a search and you'll find lots of info. try also the pinned tweaks thread.
Hey guys, I was wondering if somebody would be able to maybe help me diagnose the fault\problem part with my non-working diamond...
Basically I went to a club one night and the place was unbelievably steamy / humid. My phone was working one minute and then the next it wouldnt display anything on the LCD. The backlight was working however.
Since then I havent been able to get an image on the screen although when trying to turn it on, it seems to go through its startup sequence (backlight -> vibration -> beep (i think))
I havent had any power to the phone since a day after it broke (a few weeks ago).
I'd like to get it back working again but dont know exactly what part i would need to replace. I'm fairly competent with electronics .
Any help/advite would be appreciated!
Haha, ok that's odd...
I've plugged it into my pc to get some data files off about an hour ago.. forgot about it and just looked at it now and the screen is displaying!
It is displaying and accepting input although it was flickering at first (like pixel shifting). but i pressed the power button to standby the screen and pressed it again and the display is fine with no flickering ?
Ive moved the phone about and shook it quite hard to see if there's any loose connection but the display still seems fine..
Anybody have any ideas as to what it may be?
I'm not going to deem it as fixed until I know what the problem was/is lol
cheers guys
Ok screen actually keeps flickering nonstop, and sometimes 'fades away' to gray/white/black
comes back after a few seconds though
Looks like a faulty connector?
I thought the screen shuts off when you're in the middle of a call (proximity sensor?). On the iPhone, when you're in the middle of the call, it shuts the screen off when its by your face just so you don't hit anything like mute, etc...
Any way to get around this? Thanks

Mine shuts off the screen when your face is close to it.
Settings -> Call Settings, do you have Keep screen awake checked?
I don't see that option. Settings, then call settings... I see voicemail, call forwarding... That's pretty much it. Running Stock 2.1
Mine has done this a couple times now,i'll be talking to someone and all of a sudden start hearing beeps as if hitting the numbers on the keypad. First time it happened I thought it was the person on the other end but it happened again last night and I looked at the phone after I got off the call and it had #2* or something like that in the dialer so something is definitely weird here.

are you using a screen protector/skin/case ... anything?
mine has never given a problem.
so far.
Maybe you have a really skinny head that's not passing the sensor?

Nope, I imagine this will happen to everyone at some point though. It doesn't happen very often, it just out of the blue will happen one day. I guess the more you talk on the phone the more likely you will be to eventually experience it Maybe it has something to do with enabling the keypad? As that is what I did last night to punch in an extension.
This problem happened with my gf, when she had a droid. For some reason while she was talking on the phone the screen wouldn't always stay off and she would bump the on screen buttons with her cheek and end up usually trying to add a new caller to the call, thus muting whom she was talking to. She also had a lot of problems with the Capacitive touch screens, it wouldn't register half the time where she touched.
I've never had this happen to me, I doubt it actually will. It must be something related to how we hold our phones, and where it lines up to peoples differently shaped heads.

Never happened to me in 2-3 years with the Iphone. To act like it is happening because we are holding the phone wrong is a bit absurd, I mean it's not exactly a complicated process I will try and figure out what's happening, haven't paid much attention to it yet because I figured it was a fluke but it happened twice now and is happening to other people.
One thing I noticed last night was the phone screen was still blacked out while the beeps happened so it's not a sensor thing the screen is actually blacking out it's just being activated again by something that happens after it's off I assume.
I'm not using a case or anything. It NEVER happened to me with the iPhone, but it happens quite often with the Nexus One. VERY annoying... It should be like the iPhone, where when its by your face, it shuts off the screen AND disable the touch buttons below the screen.
I think its the touch buttons causing the problem... Because my screen does turn off when its by my face.

This is the behavior I experience with my nexus one (stock and custom roms). As soon as I place it near my face the proximity sensor turns off the screen.
The capacitive buttons below the screen are disabled when the screen turns off for me as well. I just called in to voice mail and hit every one while the screen was off due to the proximity sensor, not a single response from any button or the screen and no change in call status when I moved the phone away and the screen came back on.

Yea it's some kind of fluke, It happens so randomly I am thinking it might be something to do with the internet connection like checking mail or maybe the GPS doing something that wakes up the buttons while the proximity sensor keeps the screen off because everything will be fine then all of a sudden it happens while the screen is still blacked out.
Sounds like a factory reset might fix this issue... definitely not normal behavior.
I think this is happening to a bunch of people. I don't think a factory reset would help. I think its a bug...

No it's not a normal behaviour you are correct however it's not anything a factory reset is going to fix either. It's some kind of software bug that once enough people experience it will get sorted, just a matter of time before enough people start complaining to bring it to attention of Google or HTC.

Are you accidentally hitting the volume buttons on the side of the phone? It sounds like you might be turning the in call volume down, thus leading to it being muted.
^^ No... My face actually hits the mute button. I then have to click the mute button with my finger once i realize the person can't hear me and then they start hearing me again after I click it.
It happens with other buttons on the screen too.

Figured I would ask... I sell cell phones, and I get about 1 person a day in that has muted their in call volum by accidently hitting the volume toggle button without knowing it... all different phones (BB's are the worst!).
Anyways, my proxy sensor works perfect! I even just tested it a bit, and it senses a single finger tip starting about 1" away from the screen anywhere along the top of the screen... worked on both the left and right side and everywhere in between just fine.
I use my phone a lot at work in call (calling in to CS, calling the manager, etc) and have not had a single proxy sensor issue in the week I have had my phone.

May not be normal, but its not a bug that seems to be effecting all phones. Same thing that not everyone is experiencing random touch events, 2g/3g toggling, or dust/dogfooding. To say every phone has this problem because you do is simply short sighted.

LOL shortsighted eh? It's a bug it will happen to more and more people eventually and you will see, i'm sure it will happen to you eventually as well. Only thing shortsighted is your reply.
Good day to you sir.
I have a strange problem, well a few. If I lock my phone (C6903) using the physical button I can't unlock it again. I try for about 5-10 minutes sometimes and it just wont work. If I hold it down I can feel it vibrate as if it's bringing up the power menu but the screen just stays black. Eventually it will randomly wake up then I can play around as normal. If I leave it to lock itself I can unlock every time, fist time no worries. This is what pointed me to it being a SW problem rather than a hardware problem.
I also noticed that when I do have the screen turning off in the dark, I can see that the screen is still lit up! Just it is black, not completely asleep. It's really quite bright when I have it next to the bed. Also when I am outside I can't see the screen at all really, even with the brightness turned right up.
It's really strange all these happened about the same time. I figured maybe it was a ROM problem and a fresh install of stock ROM would help. Tried it and at first most of these problems went, just the fact I still couldn't really see the screen in the sun. I tried another ROM and at first was just the same but then these problems started again.
Has anyone had any or all of these problems or got any ideas what it could be? I am left thinking now that the problem is more likely hardware related as the problems are so sporadic and happen whatever I have installed.
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated but I have the feeling I will have to just admit the phone is dogged
You say that most of the problems desapararecen to install a new ROM, it is likely that installing something extra to be the cause, I was introduced me something similar with Expoxed Notifications Module.
Try a clean installation without installing test applications to determine if the problem recurs.
Thanks, yes I guess I will try that, bit of a pain having to reinstall apps after every install and restoring messages etc so I might just put up for now.
I also have realised that the screen not turning on and the screen staying on but black happen at different times. i.e. I can now randomly turn the screen on and off no problem (don't think I have installed or deleted any apps or changed anything), but the screen stays awake when off. When I was last not able to turn the screen back on after turning off the screen actually went to sleep. Very strange
