I have the following little problem with WM6. Every time i press the "power button" on my device, WM6 returns to the today screen. What i really want is, that it stays in the last application which was open before i switched the device off.
This behavior is especially annoying when i use tools like "ScreenOff" which does nothing else but turns the screen off (the programs are running further). This is useful when it comes to mp3 listening or something like that. But when i press the power button to turn the screen on again there is no mp3 playing application but the today screen.
Can anyone tell me where to change that behavior?
whats the today timeout set to in settings->today->items ?
It is activated and set to 8hr.
You need to disable the password lock in Security settings. This will mean that a password will NOT be required to unlock the phone upon restart or after the pre-determined timeout.
With the password lock disabled, every time you power up your phone, it will be at the last application you had open.
I already have the password lock disabled. So that can not be the problem.
If you are using the today screen battery meter there is an option for it to do that. Annoyed the hell out of me till I disabled it.
Thank you, thank you!!!
You made my day
Hey all, I am having an issue with my Tilt locking up after it goes into sleep mode or stand-by mode. Not sure which one, but it happens when I'm on a call or when I soft-press the power button, to force stand-by mode. I already disabled the "Fast sleep" & "Sleep", but it sucks the battery like crazy. I want to leave that feature on, but after a call ends after the phone goes to sleep, all I get is a black screen, like it's in sleep mode. All buttons don't respond, including the "power" button, so all I can do it a soft-reset. One thing I figured is that when I lock it BEFORE it goes into sleep/stand-by mode, I can still access it if I need to by waking it up.
I don't want to do a hard-reset right now, for those who are thinking that, & it was working fine on my stock AT&T rom, but noticed it on Dutty's 6.1 rom and now, Sleuth's 3.03 rom. I was wondering if there was a way to program WM6.1 to lock the device before it goes into sleeps/stand-by mode. I installed MortScript, but have no idea how to attach that file to run BEFORE an automatic sleep mode, forced by WM6. Any help or suggestions would be great!!! Thanks!!
This is a well known issue with the Tilt/Kaiser. It particullarly affects devices when BT or WIFI is left on & unattended.
I have used both Dutty & Sleuths 6.1 ROMs on both my devices, a Tilt & a TYTNII, without this issue occuring.
It did occur on the stock ROM, but only when left to sleep while using WIFI, GPS or BT. This can especially happen if you mess with the power properties of the devie with KaiserTweak, etc.
Hello together,
have my Raphael since a few weeks, had a prophet before.
now i noticed some strange behaviors that i did not had in my prophet and hope there are fixes.
1. Randomly Closing programms
sometimes (most of the time) programms are closed at random om my raph. for example i am having slickim open, and use opera to surf. when i want to check slick i go to home via hardbutton to use htc task manager but find out its closed and opera with it.
next time i have some progs open and put the cell aside and when i come back a while and all progs are closed and i am back at "today"
this renders all things besides phoning quite useless cuz i can not come back later and pick up where i left.
2. a2dp headphone only contolling htc musik/ wmp
i am using some sony ericsson bluethoot headset. i have to press play/pause to get my headset connected what starts the htc audio player and plays the first song. i no have removed the "musc" tab now wmp starts with the same behavior.. since i mostly listen to podcasts and audiobook i need bookmarking. so wmp is rather useless to me but i love mortplayer. but i allways have to get wmp stop playing musik quit back to today start mortplayer and use the touchscreen to play/pause cuz play/pause on the headset starts wmp again.
so for mp3 raphael is also quite useless and i use a dedicated mp3 player right now.
3. back button behaves "uncalculatable"
sometimes the back button works as ok/back button in the "normal" wm programs. the next time it behaves like a close button and brings me instantly back to "today" somtimes just putting the progs in background sometimes closing them compleatly.
so i dont dare using the back button cuz i dont know what he will do but use my fingertips to actually operate the "ok/x" button in the upper right corner. quite annoying
4. cant flash rom/hardspl
when i try to install hardspl every thing wents fine (incl. activesync connection)till ruu tries to find my rom version. there i get an error telling me that some important communication services could not be started and i should reboot my phone and try again.
i hope anyone can help me with my little problems and i can start enjoying my raphael.

I had the same problem. Read the Wiki page carefully, especially note 2. Once i ran the SSPLmanual file everything worked correctly.
Cant help with the other points yet, only got my Raph today, and not had enough time to get to grips with it yet!
Hi
Unless I'm actively using it my TP keeps turns itself off after 30 seconds no matter what power settings I use (and despite a factory reset and SPB restore). This isn't too much of an issue, except when I'm trying to use GPS/Satnav (TT7) whilst driving, where turning itself off is a real pain.
Could anyone please suggest how this issue can be resolved?
Many thanks in advance...
Is it physically turning off, requiring you to press the on key, let it reboot, or,
is it going to sleep, and you press the on key to wake it up?
If it is the latter, go to start>settings>system>power, click on the
advanced tab and change the backlight & power off settings there.
If it actually turning off, sounds like it might be a defective phone.
Thanks for your reply!
I've repeatedly altered the power settings but it makes no difference at all, if I set it to turn off at any given time (or not at all) it'll still turn off after 30 seconds. And to claify, it doesn't reboot, it just turns the screen off. It *feels* like a software issue, because it'll stay working forver as long as I tap the screen occasionally, something somewhere just counts down 30 seconds if i don't and turns off the screen...
The max time you can put on it is 5 min. The default setting out of the box is 30 seconds --which sound like what you currently have.
Set the "On Battery Power: Turn off backlight if device is not used for xxx MIN). Make sure first that that's checked, and select the drop down.
Eventually --to conserve battery power--, it will 'sleep'.
Your NAVIGATION software should have a setting to over-ride this to NEVER TURN OFF DISPLAY WHILE NAVIGATION.
Aside from that, there is no other way to keep the backlight on --unless it's plugged into a power outlet.
Many thanks again for your reply; As I mentioned previously I've already changed the power settings settings (frequently) and I'm definitely not on the 30-second default, no setting appears to make any difference, be it 5 minutes or 'never turn off'. It also happens when the 'phone is plugged into a power source too.
(And I have got the 'don't turn off whilst navigating' box ticked for the satnav but the issue applies generally, not just to the satnav, that's just where it's most irritating).
Is there any possibility something has changed in the registry to over-ride the control panel settings in this way?
How about doing a hard reset and not doing a spb restore? You realize that all you did when you restored the phone was restore the bug, right?
Edit: I doubt it will work, but you can try the backlight cab. It will restore all the stock backlight reg settings if yours are messed up.

Hi,
I have same problem as you. TP keeps turns itself off after 30 sec!!
And I am using TT7. So this problem is so annoying.
I tried hard resetting and install programs one by one. and check if TP is keeping backlight on or not. And I installed TT7 and worked perfect.( display is always on)
That was yesterday.
Today I was using TP, it happened again.
The registry setting is still 3min on battery, uncheck on AC power.
30 sec problem happens both status.
This thing did not happen before Raphael_Cingular_US_5.11.502.2_Radio_Sign.
TP worked fine for a while on this radio.
Now even I check " NEVER TURN OFF DISPLAY WHILE NAVIGATION" box in some apps. TP turn off backlight.
I tried backlight.cab, that did not work and still turning off.
(thanks anyway )

Somebody please help us out.
Did you try the cab? If that doesn't work, just flash another rom.
I am also having this problem. I did get it to stop once by going in to the registry and actually editing it. But it started to do it again after a wile. I am trying it again today and see if it work. I am using a trial version of BestRegEdit and was wonder if it could have changed it back because it was a trial. So if some one elce wants to give it a shot it us under HKey_Current_user\ControlPanel\Power\Display and you will change that 30 to what ever amount of time you want. I pick 0 because i never want it to turn off. Hope this helps Oyeah, does anyone know of a free resitry editor? This is my last day on the BestRegEdit Thanks
Uh, total commander, regedit, dotfred's task manager and probably a few more.

Thanx,
I tried cab, and did not work. So I installed test rom and works fine now. NO 30 seconds backlight off now.
[March 1st] New ATT test rom Radio 1.12.25.19 OS AKU 1.4.6 Build 20771
I will use this until new "Signed" and Works Ok radio comes.
* Recently I use resco explorer and regedit addon. Free app: regedit.Mrln works fine, I think. I have been using these for keyboard layout section.
Glad you solved it, I had an interesting problem, similar to the screen issue, wonder it it might be related. I flashed to a new rom over the weekend, and no matter what I did, the backlight would turn off after 10 seconds. You could reset it to 30 in the power profile, but after a reboot, it would revert back to 10 seconds. Reflahsed it, and after the flash, when it starts loading the customizations, it would freeze. Flashed again, and it hung at customization again! Downloaded the rom again, deleted the old one, and flashed and it worked and the backlight would stay put!
Maybe the one you downloaded was corrupt?
Anyway, glad you got it working.
P.S. The rom isn't an "official" that I downloaded, it was one of the 6.5 that the cooks on the rom page whipped up. I think it was just a corrupted download.
This issue has happened to me a few times. even while i'm still using the phone and typing the screen goes off.
very annoying.
I found it only happened to me using EnergyROM. when I flashed to a different rom the problem was solved.
recently I flashed back to the newest version of EnergyROM again (after the previous ROM decided to hard reset all by itself) and this issue happened again in the first hour!
I really wish I could find a usable ROM for once and for all
My Case: WMWifiRouter was it!
This happend even when TP under Test rom env. I just gave up and installed latest version cause this ver is less stressfull.
Luckly 30 sec issue did not happend for a while until I installed WMWifiRouter.
Just after I install V1.50 30 sec thing and happend.
KB0907027: [BUG] v1.50 backlight timeout issue
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/knowledge/KB0907027/
I Installed V1.52 and now works fine and no backlight problem.
If you installed WMWifirouter check the link.
I use EnergyROM as well and i noticed that right after a fresh flash, if you tried to modify certain settings using the gui (i.e. alarm times, connection settings etc) they wouldnt stick - perhaps a direct registry edit using one of the tools previously mentioned might force the device to remember the changes? this worked for me when i had trouble with my alarm times not being saved.
ive also heard that sometimes a soft-reset isnt enough to commit changes to the registry - i.e. once making a reg edit, cold boot the device - that is press and hold the power button and turn it entirely off.
hope this helps
Hey guys, i've got a problem. First off, KforTouchPro works fine on my HTC Touch Pro, i can configure buttons fine for Morphgear, PocketGBA, SmartGear etc, it works wonderful. And as everyone that uses this app already knows, you have to switch the setting to MS IME before you launch your game emulator, or else you can't configure the keys. Well, my problem is, after i'm done playing a game, sometimes I forget to switch the setting back to default, and whenever i do a reset or shutoff my phone, it hangs at the screen right before it shows your homescreen and touchflo3d tabs.
Basically, for those that use EnergyROM, it hangs at the screen that shows you the black & blue background with the word EnergyROM 3.0 in the bottom left (or something like that, can't remember). That means you can't do anything at all, since there are no buttons etc for you to press as the home screen is not fully loaded, so basically you got a semi-bricked phone as no matter how many times i try to turn on the phone, it just hangs there, which results in me having to do a hard reset in the end.
To prevent this, you MUST restore the KforTouchPro setting back to the default setting, but sometimes ppl forget and this will cause a semi-bricked phone, which is very risky and quite dangerous.
So, is anyone else having the same problem as me?? Is there a solution to this??
And lastly, what's the difference between KforTouchPro and KforRaphael??
