Help! ( Touch Pro 2, home screen reversion )

Hey all,
First, I'd like to say that so far the Touch Pro 2 is freaking awesome, but It's been doing something since I got it that is driving me up the wall;
So, say I'm in gsplayer or Opera, and for whatever reason, the screen turns off ( I hit the power button, it times out for power conservation, whatever... ). Whenever I turn the screen back on, the Clock in Touch Flow 3D shows up. GAH >_<
Is there any way to just open the phone back up to what I was looking at when the screen turned off? Help me XDA-Developers, you're my only hope!
-AceSmythe

update:
I went to the home configuration and disabled TouchFlo 3D , and it doesn't revert to the home screen when I reset
Does anyone know how to tell TouchFlo 3D to not re-assert itself every time I turn the screen on? I didn't see anything obvious in the registery
Thanks,
AceSmythe

I have a Touch Diamond 2 and i don't have this problem..
When i just hit the power button to turn the screen off, and 1 minute later when i turn it back on, everything is still the same as i left it. All the programs are still opened.
Maybe you hit the right 'hang up' key?? Because when you press it you go back to the homescreen

I'm pretty sure I know the difference between the power button at the top of the device and the hang up button near the bottom, thanks.
Anyone around who actually has a Touch Pro 2?

I have this issue with my Blackstone, using Duttys 3.9.
I have seen this issue before and as far as i have found out there is no soution to this. The only thing that could help is turning off the Msofts LOCK app. Unfortunately mine is on due to exchange security policy.
If your lock is not on, then im afraid i dont know

What does that app do and how would I turn it off?

I also went into the registry and disabled the Home tab for TouchFlo 3D, but the issue persists
( registry entry HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration\0\Enable , set to 0 )
To any who are curious, this appears to be a viable method of removing Home, Programs, and Settings from the TouchFlo 3D tabs. On my device, 0 is Home, 2 is Programs, and 12 is settings
On another note that's completely unrelated, don't install the SRSwow control panel if you don't have drivers/hardware for it. It completely crippled the speakers and mic on the phone, and Voice Command ( voicecommand.exe ) freaked out whenever I tried to start it. Luckily, removing the software through Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs and doing a full reset fixed everything
( above 2 paragraphs included for people Googling either issue )
Anyway, back to the home screen thing... any other thoughts?

If you are using the lock app (which locks the screen) you can turn it off/on by going to (on my HD) settings/all settings/personal/lock and disable it if enabled.
It may not help you, but is a known issue regarding this particular problem.

Have you unchecked the today timeout?
Go to Settings/Personal/Today/Items and make sure it's unchecked.

Yes and makes no difference, but cheers for the idea.

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried aswell
** Warning **
Do not install the TouchFlo Detacher, it WILL break TouchFlo on your system
See http://freewareppc.com/utilities/touchflodetacher.shtml , then avoid it like the plauge
-AceSmythe

Sorry for the lateness of this post, after a full wipe and reinstall of everything ( after the TouchFlo 3D disaster mentioned above ) the home screen does not assert itself anymore. Per suggestion, I did not enable the lock. I'd test turning on the lock and off again, but I don't want to push my luck
Thanks one and all

Mod Edit : No probelms, but no need for the final comment, so I have removed it

Now what would really solve this if you could check the registery to find the key responsible. I will have a look at mine in depth but i fear i will not find it.
Cheers.

I thought the "final comment" was worth a mention, it /was/ kind of insulting

I've been all up and down that thing and either I'm just ignorant of some term that I should be looking for or there's just no entry for it
Maybe someone could write an app to fix it or a replacement locking app

Is there a tool to manually turn off the LCD of TD2?

As I do not want to push the power button to turn off the LCD, I hope it can turn off the LCD by a menu. (e.g. Menu->Turn Off LCD)
By the way, is there a same tool to soft reset / shut down my TD2?
My OS is windows mobile 6.1 English, and the ROM is from HTC official.

Go here and dl this one TD2SoftReset_Suspend.CAB

to power off you can make a shortcut of this :

@tarkim: Fantastic application. Thanks a lot!!
Had the same "problem". Here's how to solve it:
On the "long press" event of the power button choose to run a program and insert "\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe" (without the quotes) as program name and as arguments insert "PowerOff" (again without the quotes).

as for the soft reset there is an application named Raiisak's soft Reset

Exactly my point too.......I don't get it.
Whey go to the trouble of pressing (like you say) start menu - turn off LCD. That takes longer......
Press the power button and the screen turns off......easy does it.....

a very good tool that is working just as you described and much more is quickmenu. turn power off, switch screen orientation, free ram and much more.
windows like startmenu

Wake up the phone with every button

Hi all.
I know there's a registry hack to wake up the phone with every button, not only with the ON/OFF button but I'm not able to find the topic. I can't find the right words to search...
Can someone help me? Thank u very much for all u do here. Bye

It is just a windows mobile setting:
Start -> Settings -> System -> Key lock -> do not lock keys (or something like that, I have a dutch phone).
Make sure you have a good locking solution, like TouchLockPro, because your phone will awake regularly when the keys are pressed.

Hi ZuinigeRijder.
First of all thank u for ur reply.
Then, unfortunately I can't find these options on my phone (in the latest three different ROMs I've tried these options are no more in the settings, one 6.1 and two 6.5 ROMs).
Some times ago I've found a post with a registry hack to obtain that result.
But now I can't find that post anymore.
Thank u very much

Sorry, I've found it!!!
And here it is for all who need it:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd\DefaultKeyLock
set it to 0 and all the hardware keys will wake up the phone.
Thank you for all.

Actually here is the easier way. Install this control panel app, to control the key lock. Its made by HTC, and has been included on their devices for a looong time now. But I do believe certain OEM's/Carriers remove this for some unknown reason.

doesen't work

I'm trying to do the opposite...I'm trying to disable all keys wake up...but that registry entry and HTC key lock app doesnt work for my HD2.

This explains why I had this tool in the original ROM but I haven't found it in the next cooked ROMs I tried!

Confirmed - Key Lock Cab on HD2 Does not Work
Confirmed, loaded the Key Lock cab, reset phone.
Start>Settings>All Settings>System>Key Lock -
elected <Lock all buttons except for power button>
Reset the Phone
Phone can still be powered back on by any hardware button
Would appreciate any assistance.

What device are you using? As far as I know this should work on most if not all HTC Winmo devices.

No Auto Lock after new ROM - want my Slider back!

Hi guys!
After upgrading to the new official ROM my Auto Lock Slider disapeared.
I installed BSB Tweaks 1.2 and turned "Auto Lock" to on. Then Softreset. But the Slider was still gone.
I changed the registry entry to
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\DeviceLockWhenSuspend =1
Then Softreset.
But nothing happend. Still no Auto Lock Slider.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

grab yourself BsB Tweaks 1.2 and turn it on with this tool the do soft reset; worked for me

Did you read what i've written???

I think it's the weird behavior of BsB which is causing the problem. Let me guess, did you install BsB immediately after the upgrade? I did not, had no problems whatsoever, but later after a hard-reset I immediately installed BsB and yes, had the same weird problems as you described.
Good lock

Press the Windows button then press the soft lock key in the bottom left. This could make it work again but it doesn't for some apparently. Worked for me though.

Same for me, just locked it once manually, then it works again. Didnt need to install anything.
Bloke

I had the same prob. the best solution is to check auto lock in BsB. After that exit BsB but DON'T soft reset with BsB. just exit. Then Power off the phone and switch it back on manually!!!!

Many, many thanks!!! This worked!!!! Now i have Auto Lock again!!

These thing did not work for me ether.
I did the follow:
holded the "turn off" button down, and pressed the device-lock button, and then it worked.
Good Lock

Power Button tips works but not after soft reset. Yuo should use this exe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5086288&postcount=2
And then copy into Windows\Startup so each time HD2 boot, it will start also the lock screen, then after you switch off the screen the lock will be always active!

I ve upgraded to 1.48 3 days ago, since then i ve never came across that lock screen problem nor the other mail problem, others appear to associate these two together.
I havent installed BsB tools though i dont know if this has something to do with it or i just got lucky or its some other app that makes the conflict that i dont use.

If you want everything in 1 button then install HD2_12_button_HD_action_screen_v1.0 which will map itself to a long press of the End Button (right side) and give you toggles for everything you need.
If you want seperate shortuct buttons then I have made a single cab for reset bluetooth Data Disconnect and wifi shortcuts (will be in start menu, programs).
No data is a seperate cab to choose whether to enable/disable data connections permanently.
Not sure about a power off shortcut.

Mark.

In addition...
Are there separate .cabs for toggling between:
silent mode (on/off)
vibrate (on/off)
aeroplane mode (on/off)
I thought there was something that had this covered but can't find it now, but from memory, wasn't it a bit unstable?
Thanks.

Just to check, the cab is compatible with Artemis WWE V15.5 or rather Winmo 6.5.5 build 23570 Manila 2.5.20121412.2?
Oh ya, thanks for your tutorials on flashing custom roms! Got me started and helped tremendously!! Cheers mate!

Any screen shots?
Do these toggle switches have icons similar to the weather on/off toggle switch? That is what I am currently looking for here on XDA but can't find.
I mean will it show a different icon for on and off? As I already have the toggle switches for the data, wifi, bluetooth etc from TouchX but when activated you can't really tell from the icons whether it was on or not (unless you check the wireless control settings.)
