Hi,
I've set my device to receive delivery notifications, but everytime one is received my device wakes up (the screen turns itself on)
I find this really annoying, because now I'm forced to set the device to automatically turn the screen of when not used for a couple of minutes, otherwise if I don't hear the delivery report comming in, my screen stays on and the battery drains..
I've searched the whole internet, every option on my device and the registry but couldn't find any solution.
Is there one that anybody knows of? Or is this just one of those things I have to learn to live with ?
Thanks in avance !
PS: I'm new to this site, and I'm loving it Great work everyone!
No one got any idea??

hello everyone, quick question
im looking for a locking program that will lock the screen when i press the power button (device goes into standby) and when it wakes up
the default locking program with WM is annoying because you can lock the phone BUT when u get an incoming call or text message, the screen becomes unlocked again and its easy to "answer" it accidently when its in your pocket. this is particularly annoying with text messages, because most of the time i wont even realize i have one and the phone will be awake for hours draining the battery and waiting to be pushed. anyways ive done several searches and come up with the following solutions, none of which work for me
1. S2U2, i dont like it, i tried it, wont use it again
2. SensorLock - An EXCELLENT locker, except it wont work on phones without Accelerometers...works wonderfully on the diamond tho
can anyone suggest something to me
First, set timeout for turning screen off autoamtically. This will solve SMS wakeup problem - screen will turn off automatically after some time.
Next thing, incoming calls - there is great Onyx ROM with Opal's slider - to answer a call, you need to slide your finger from center to left (or to right to ignore it). You can't answer accidentally using it
i appreciate your suggestions but neither works for me
i tried the opal but it didnt work properly, i actually had to hard reset to get rid of it
as for the timeout, it still doesnt solve the problem of the phone becoming ACTIVE as soon as a notification or text message is received
Hello,
I have looked everywhere but can not find any setting for it, and i have upgraded to the latest stock htc rom but still same issue:
Sometimes, only sometimes, when I get a new text/sms message the phone beeps about it, but sometimes it just flashes the green light and no sound. When I turn the display on, it takes a second and then! the beep! for a new text/sms is played. It is very annoying, as I can go hours without knowing I actually have a new message.
Anyone else have this issue? anyone know the solution?
thanks in advance,
modano
yea it happens to me too, duno y tho. Sometimes mine vibrate with no sound and the vibration doesn't stop either, just keeps going.
HTC released a hotfix, go check their website.
I had this problem and found a post on this forum which fixed it:

The advanced config tool is knocking around somewhere, should come up easily in a search, hope that helps...

It only happens with incoming email, SMS and calls are fine.
When I try to reproduce the problem, I simply have to wait for the phone to check for new mail. The the phone notifies me about new email. If I try to turn the screen on, it won't. The hard button lights up, indicating the phone is on but I can't interact with the screen. Resetting the phone via the red button is the only remedy.
If I act real fast when new mail comes, sometimes I'm able to start sliding to unlock but it still crashes. If I'm really fast I'm able to even get to the mail screen but it still crashes.
But the crash does not occur if I'm already using the phone when new email comes in. If I want to reproduce it, I have to leave the phone "alone", with the screen off. If the screen is on when the new mail comes in, the crash does not occur.
The problem started occurring with completely stock phone, the very first day, without making changes. As I cab tweaked the phone, (no ROM) the problem persists, it happens.
Because of this problem, when I wake up in the morning, I can't use my phone because the screen doesn't turn on and I have to restart the phone so I can use it. My mail send/receive interval is set for 4 hours so while I sleep the phone receives new email at least once.
I investigated similar problems for TP2 and Touch HD but it does not help.
I backed up everything on my phone so I'm ready to make changes if you have any advice. I checked for: changing the email ring tone, wake up on new email setting. They have no effect on this problem.
After this happens, I tried calling my phone. It will not ring, but the hard buttons light up but are unresponsive, I can't neither pick up nor reject the incoming call. I sent an SMS to the phone in this state, it didn't do anything.
Do you have knowledge that can help me? Is anyone willing to try to reproduce the problem on their phone?
All you would do is set any ring tone for incoming mail, leave the phone with the screen off and "wait" for new email to come in. Don't do anything for a minute and then check if the crash occurred.
Please help, I hate waking up to a crashed phone that I need to restart every time. Because of this problem, setting a wake up alarm is useless.
If you can't help with this, at least is there any way I can "force" the phone to restart without removing the battery cover?
Thank you.
as some of you may know, i received my HD MINI in italian language....
thanks to some help from this forum, ive been able to install BSB tweaks and now about 25% of my phone is in english..
im wondering if any of you can tell me WHERE in my phone i can set the settings for the below problems, as most of my menus are still written in italian:
1. when i set an alarm, the alarm will only ring ONCE (approx. 5 seconds), it's like the alarm ringtone sound file doesnt loop
2. i dont hear any sounds when i receive an incoming SMS message, my phone just flashes the green LED in the top corner. The phone isnt on silent mode though, because regular calls ring
hi htc_999.
the way i managed to change mine was to go to settings, then press menu and go to all settings. next (at the top) press notifications, then change the event to "message - new message" and you should be able to tick "play sound"
hope that helps
my phone is in italian, and i cannot understand all the menus fully, but im pretty sure i checked the box for sound under the subsection of "nuovo messagio" but still doesnt work
Mine is Italian as well, so the path is:
Impostazioni / Toni e display / Suoni di Notifica
The option Nuovo messagio must be in Att, and if you press there, you can select the sound you want. Also the setting Vibrazione must be either in off or att, but never in Solo.
Then check that the volume is not down or too low (with the volume rocker).
If all above is ok, it should work.
Maybe its related to similar problems i had in the past after changing the language?

Gr,

Its a HD2 topic but i worked for my Touch HD, hopefully it works for you as well.
mini HD same problems.
Well i got the mini HD in Greek language which is my language so there is no way i get messed up in the menus.
I observed the same issue with the alarm and after a lot of tries i observed that the alarm fails due to sleeping mode of the phone.The 30 sec on for display strangles the alarm ,which is working ok if the phone is connected to external power with an option of display sleeping mode longer than that with no connected to external power.
In addition to this the second issue you talk about is probably born from the same point as the sms alert works just fine when the phone is on but nothing sounds when the phone is in sleeping mode.
I have tried all in the settings but nothing .
Probably its a software problem that htc should know and fix it.
By the way have you observed a diminuated signal of your phone provider? The signal to me seems as looping from one line to four more constantly on one in an area that all the family phones get the most power signal constantly.
I have just sent an email to htc.If i got any answer i will let you know.
Solved the issues
It seems i found a way to solve the issues described above as my thought about the sleeping mode problem seems to be right.
Well a the power setting you have to choose the potion for backlight page control.Then uncheck the auto reglation of display light and let a value of 80% for both options battery and external power.Then check back the auto reglation for the back light . now you have to increase the time values using battery for decreasing light on display at 2min and turn off at 5min. use the same values for eternal power also
Then using path settings ,menu right bottom,option for more,sound and notifications,notifications , you access the page where rolling down the happening bar you get the option for new message.After some tries i can say that not all the tones are working properly.for example dont use Alarm-VeryHigh .It wont work. Try the tone Notify and check the playing option and the display message option.
With these settings the alarm should work for 2 minutes loopig normaly and the sms will sound when it comes.
Try it sending a message to yourself turning off the display by the top power button immediately after you send the message.
Hope I helped.I mstill waiting an answer to the email i sent to htc.Hope thet resolve the issues with an upgraded rom as it seems its a software problem.
By the way the clarifing sound issue you may have can be solved with the update given by htc to the official site .Dont forget to set a volume value to 80%.
All issues resolved
Hi, as i ve written before i communicated with htc ,they proposed to go to service. Afterall i had the opportunity to talk with the technician of htc who explained me how the issues would be resolved after a software upgrade.
So they did the job , upgrated my device and now works great.
One thing i am courious about is that after i got the device back i checked the official site and there is nothing there as upgrade. So by now if you have the same issues you have to go to htc service.
thanks mihan.....
i will save the trouble and wait for a update patch
The update is available now

Click to collapse
Xmm i have the same problem in SMS . Have not idea yet how to fix it
I tested with the new patch but not luck . still no sound when i receive a sms
Moved to general...
WHY dont you read the previous messages? This problems were common to many users and will be resolved with the updated 30/06/10 rom from htc site.
i tested with the last rom but still no luck
Hi Guys,
My HTC TOUCH HD's backlight turns on everytime I receive a text message, it is really annoying as i sometimes get a message when im out and about with my phone in my pocket or bag, and it starts pressin lots of buttons because the backlight it gets turned on.
Is there any way of changing the settings so that it does not come on when i get a message? it never used to do this until i upgraded the ROM a few days ago.
Thank youuu!
Get HD Tweak, there is a setting which lets you keep the screen turned off when receiving SMS.
linky
Hey, i tried it but theres no setting that does that :s it disables the notification that usually comes up but not the backlight switching on... any other ideas??? :'(
so 'wake up on New SMS' doesn't keep the screen off when you disable it?
woohoo!
OOOOOOOOOOO!!!! its workin now! woohooo! thanks for clarifying! what happened was i installed it and that option was alredy disabled, so enabled it and then disabled it again and then it started working, dno why it didnt work in the first place :s but it works now so its al coooool thanks!!!
