Wing locking itself

I swear I did not change any settings, but starting yesterday my Wing would just lock itself when the screen shuts off. Anyone know how to disable this? Thanks
*edit*
another odd thing I noticed - I don't have to unlock when the phone's charging. very weird.

what programs are you using? If you hold down the end key for a second, the phone will lock. Maybe you are accidentally bumping it when you put it in your pocket or case.

Sorry I wasn't more specific... I'm running ttran's OpenTouch 3.0. when I turn on the screen (using the power button) I need to press unlock twice to get to the main menu. It's annoying and I'd like to get rid of it. idk... I didn't change anything and it just randomly started happening yesterday. help?

I agree with you PharmacySchool...I'm running Ttran's 3.0 ROM myself and the "locked" feature pop-up on me this afternoon, out of the blue. It is very annoying and I'm not sure what caused it to start happening. Was getting an address out of the contacts list, X'ed out of contacts once finished, clicked the power button to turn the screen off...next time I went to use the phone, it magically was locked and has been since. A real pain to have to hit the unlock button twice just to use the phone. Have played around a little with it, but no success on correcting the problem yet.

Make sure you're not overclocking the phone. This can cause lock ups if the CPU overheats or if it doesn't get the required voltage or for other reasons.

The lock I'm referring to and I believe PharmacySchool...is like a "key lock". How some phones have an option to lock the keys so it can't accidentally call someone if numbers get pressed by mistake or while in your pants pockets. Nothing to do with the CPU or it being overheated. All you have to do is press the button to turn the screen light off and instantly turn it back on...it's locked. You have to hit the "unlock" button on the bottom left hand corner and the tap the unlock button on the screen. After doing such...you can once again use your phone.

I have the answer!!!

I'm pretty knew at this but I ran into the same problem and I figured out how to fix it. I don't know all the fancy wording so bare w/me. On your main screen touch and hold your battery symbol/ 6th option down says DeviceLock with a green check/ uncheck that **** and your good to go.
NOW someone PLEASEEEEE create a slide 2 "answer" not a slide 2 lock. I am so tired of my phone answering its self in my pocket when I don't want it to.

A_C 's S2U2 has a slide to answer feature..... You should check it out.

I've installed S2U2-0.2-WM5 with Touch It v2.3 and had problems. I think I remember it having a slide to answer but I also remember it answering with the green button as well. Maybe there was a way to disable it but I don't know how.
Does it work better Open Touch v3.0. because thats what I'm running now.

WOW... thats an OLD version.... that version should not have the slide to answer.....Current Version is 0.99p. It can be found in the development and hacking forum. You'll need to enable the S2A feature with the settings program...Man the apps come a LONG way since your version...We got animated gif support, Random still backgrounds, an exceptions list so voice dialers will work properly and internet browsers will stay alive... Just try the new version.

NICE!!!!! Works good so far. Now I won't be divorced! LOL

satellite icon?! what is it?

on the top of the screen that status bar.... i had an icon of a satellite with 3 "radio waves"going away from the satellite never seen this icon can't find it in 6800 or mogul user manual?
any ideas?
on verizon dcd 3.0.1
EDIT:
also notification tab popped up but it would do nothing if i tried to select it or the icon...
i assume my phone was sending information because the bars were going away from the satellite.... not a comfortable feeling..

could it have been a data connection Icon? like the WiFi and the regular data connection at once?
Who knows you might have an application that has a setting to get frequent data updates. such as quick gps, push email, HTC HOME Weather.........
Because I believe DCD removed the customer feedback option from his roms so it couldn't be that.

I believe that is the QuickGPS update notification... Do you have QuickGPS? If so, look in the options and see if it is set to show you when it is needing an update.

it could have been something like a data connection however it's nothing i've ever seen.
i do have quick gps but i have all the options unchecked.. i update it myself. only "automatic" thing i have is email but you would think with the amount of email i get it would have show the symbol before..
i only found one other instance of it last night and someone said it happened to them on PPCgeeks

Could it have been started up when active sync initiated it self?
or even the location on or Voice Privacy Icon? Sounds like this is a weird buggy issue. I havent seen a satellite Icon here, but i have seem some small things here and there.
update: maybe it is something of an update that has been sent from your provider?

once it came up and i couldn't get it off i just soft reset and it didn't come back... however i could draw it... j/k i've searched the internet high and low.... can't find anything similar i'm going to go through the quick GPS file and see if i can find that icon inside it.

The satellite icon has to do with QUICK GPS
This icon shows up when ever your coordinates that where downloaded expire. Then all you have to do to remove it is update QUICK GPS by downloading your coordinates again.
Here is a screen shot on my ppc of how the icon looks.

My first Pocket PC, and its a touch Dual :-D Lotsa questions

Some questions for the Gurus
1.) Is it possible to add a "New Message" shortcut on the desktop of the touch dual? It has the built in home screen and I can add shortcuts there, but when I do, it just gives a list of aps to add. or maybe instead of the "notification" shortcut on the lower left corner of the home screen, I can change that to "new message"
2.) When syncing with the PC using active sync. do you always have to configure it to update either way? (eg: if conflict is found, update Phone or update PC)
- What if I change something on the PC, and I also updated something on the phone? It would be such a hassle to keep on changing the settings and trying to remember where I updated last.
3.) When I am connected to the PC via USB, it syncs right? But if I leave it connected cause I am still installing aps or doing something else, or charging the unit, it keeps on repeating the sync process over and over again. This gets troublesome when I am installing an ap, and when I continue installing on the phone, it lags terribly because its still synchronizing.
4.) My date format is currently Day/Month/Year, somehow I cant find how to change it Month/Day/Year
5.) Is their an indicator thats its fully charge? like a pop up message (aside from going through power settings)
6.) Is it possible to make categories on notes or folders or is the only way to organized them is via actual file folders only?
7.) I have MP3s on internal and external mem. When I choose an alarm, I cannot see the Mp3s that are inside the phone, I can only see the ones on the external mem.
8.) Have you guys tried 8gig High Speed Memory Sticks on your phone? Planning to get one. Speed is ok? or Will 4gig do? I will store some music, but only a few, since I have an Ipod, a few pics, most of the mem will be for applications.
9.) On the Home screen of the Touch Dual, there is a weather ap, this also updates automatically using 3g/gprs/edge, I cant find the settings to cut if off or set it to manual update cause its expensive to have it always update every time you click on it :-(
10.) How much mem should I leave internally for it not to cause problems. Ive been installing tons of aps already hehehe. But I still have a little less than half available.
11.) Will any USB cable work with this device? It seems to be a pretty standard looking USB cable. I already a PSP cable and my portable hard drive cable, they should all be compatible right? it would be neat if I could just share the Cable.
12.) When I slide out the keypad, the default text type is always XT9, is there a ways to make it just standard text input "ABC"? I usually text with a mix of English and our local dialect.
13.) On program settings, there is a button mapping ap. it says this: Button 1- Camera, Button 2 - Voice Commander, Button 3 - Record. On the touch dual there are only a few buttons, which one is button 2 and button 3? I tried all buttons, nothing seems to launch voice commander and record lolz smiley Only the Camer obviously works. I know this should be in the manual, havent had time to read it pa hehehe.
Whew, hope you dont mind the questions :-D Sorry if they have already been asked before.

The message is contextual and will change accordingly - some providers will allow you to choose what is shown on start>settings>buttons
2.) When syncing with the PC using active sync. do you always have to configure it to update either way? (eg: if conflict is found, update Phone or update PC)
- What if I change something on the PC, and I also updated something on the phone? It would be such a hassle to keep on changing the settings and trying to remember where I updated last.
No you dont have to remember - it will sort itself out and only ask if there is a conflict where you might have changed both devices
3.) When I am connected to the PC via USB, it syncs right? But if I leave it connected cause I am still installing aps or doing something else, or charging the unit, it keeps on repeating the sync process over and over again. This gets troublesome when I am installing an ap, and when I continue installing on the phone, it lags terribly because its still synchronizing.
In activesync you can choose the option of automaitc sync or when you choose to
4.) My date format is currently Day/Month/Year, somehow I cant find how to change it Month/Day/Year
5.) Is their an indicator thats its fully charge? like a pop up message (aside from going through power settings)
The LED at the top of the device constantly glows yellow when charging and changes to green when fully charged
6.) Is it possible to make categories on notes or folders or is the only way to organized them is via actual file folders only?
7.) I have MP3s on internal and external mem. When I choose an alarm, I cannot see the Mp3s that are inside the phone, I can only see the ones on the external mem.

4 gig will give you plenty of space
9.) On the Home screen of the Touch Dual, there is a weather ap, this also updates automatically using 3g/gprs/edge, I cant find the settings to cut if off or set it to manual update cause its expensive to have it always update every time you click on it :-(
In the weather app go to select city - then menu - the choices you want are there
10.) How much mem should I leave internally for it not to cause problems. Ive been installing tons of aps already hehehe. But I still have a little less than half available.
As long as you dont run loads of apps at the same time it should be fine. If its slowing down then change the x button in settings to close apps instead of minimizing them
11.) Will any USB cable work with this device? It seems to be a pretty standard looking USB cable. I already a PSP cable and my portable hard drive cable, they should all be compatible right? it would be neat if I could just share the Cable.
Yep
12.) When I slide out the keypad, the default text type is always XT9, is there a ways to make it just standard text input "ABC"? I usually text with a mix of English and our local dialect.
Search for posts - you need to do some more advanced work

I'm sure someone will pick up the points I havent

Sweet, I'm in the same boat as the topic started.
So let me add a question:
The right LED above the screen keeps blinking every ~4 seconds. Since I'm colourblind it's kind of hard for me to tell what colour it is, but its either yellow or green.
What does it mean and how do I turn it off (I know I can change some stuff in Sounds and Notifications, would that be the solution)?
Thanks and cheers cdyat for answering alot of those questions.

**It flashes when you have signal and are connected to the network. The colour changes with the status. Its green normally but changes to yellow when you have a missed call / message / reminder etc. There is also a blue led for bluetooth connections next to it. I have never turned it off but I have read a few posts that talk about editing the registry to do this. There is no simple way with normal settings** You can always PM me if its a silly question and you dont want to post for all to see.

Thanks, I posted my question on howardforums.com too and they told me the same thing. I don't really want to mess with the registry yet, since I got my phone recently. Besides, I don't mind it at all, just wanted to know why it did that.

I dont mess too much with mine. To be honest its pretty damn good as it is!!

Exactly.
As long as you don't just install everything anywhere on the internal memory, it should stay that way.
Which brings me to another question about the microSD card slot. I posted this on howardforums too, but might aswell ask here too:
Can anyone help me by telling me exactly how I can get a microSD card out of the device?
The manual states I should press on the microSD card itself to get it to pop out, but I can't even reach the microSD card with my fingers (I'm not fat ). I had to use a tool from my garage to help me get it out and I really doubt HTC had this in mind, so there should be an easier way!
Besides, when i tried pressing the card with the tool, it didn't even budge. So I just pulled it out instead of pressing it inwards to make it pop out...

I get out the microSD with the stylus, using the black broad extreme...

Yea thats a good tip, I found it out after giving it a few other shots.
Thing is, I had to press pretty hard and before, I was afraid of breaking something, so I held back.
But yea, the stylus does come in handy after all.

Startup: empty notification

Whenever I turn my phone on it shows an empty notification "bubble". Also in the top bar next to the G/3G icon is an extra icon, the one that shows up when you change keyboard input to numbers. It just stays there... Also the lower-left "softkey" turns to Notification instead of the usual Agenda.
I can only get rid of it by opening up a new sms/mms/email, because then the icon for t9/abc/numbers needs to be used, so it sort of refreshes the icon and it goes away when I exit the sms/mms/email.
Now I was just wondering if there's any way to fix this? It's bugging me, although not to a degree at which it would be frustrating, but still... I'd rather not have to go through the above mentioned steps everytime I turn my phone on.
I think it's too minor of a problem for flashing my phone. So, any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

hi - tap start/ settings in personal tab tap "lock" untick box listed "prompt if device unused for" this sovled for me

Thanks! That worked. I'll leave it like this for the moment, but if there's a way without turning off the lock please let me know.

it's a known bug.
i haven't seen it since i flashed the niki project ROM.

Aww, ok.
Guess there isn't much else to do then. I'll wait for an HTC update.
(Anyone know when WM 6.1 will be here for the touch dual? )

My Touch HD is getting a little temperamental- lil help

Hi so this is what frequently happens, I lose the top bar on the screen (start icons etc) which needs a restart to get back, sometimes the screen will not go black when the power putton is pressed(for locking), holding the end call button to lock the phone dosent work at all even after restart(not that i use it), also the email icons where you flick down and up to get a preview often dosent work and the email opens instead(happend from the start).
So what i would like to know is what can i do about this I assume there is a new rom out there that is really nice and stable but which do you suggest? I would like one which replaces the alarm setting in the default rom as that is so annoying. Also I use the youtube program all the time and I would like to still have the zoom bar in opera. your advice is really appreciated.

Im getting some of these problems, sorry dont know what to sugest! but my end key has never locked my phone it ends data conection ok !!??
Paul.

Have you tried a hard reset?
There are many great roms each Rom has a thread you can check them out to see what they have and what they can do it depends on your preferences not others
