Is there a way to configure my WM6 PDA to always display the today screen at power on? Right now if I turn it off with PIE or another app in front and then turn it back on it doesn't display the today screen. It turns back on with whatever app that I last used in front. I don't what to close the apps just power on to the today screen, so I am always reminded of my tasks and appointments.
Thanks for any help!
have you tried messing about with settings->today->items timeout to go back to today screen timer ?
Yeah but the shortest is 1 hour and I'd want it set at around 5 minutes.
I have an att tilt that came stock with wm6.1 pro and i updated it to the new 3.7. something or other ROM from the HTC website and when that was done also bought spb pocket plus. I am having a couple of not so bad but annoying problems
After much trouble, I put the 6 tab version of htc home plugin on the home tab of pocket plus and when the phone is closed and I lock the phone form the htc home programs tab the clock doesn't appear, but it appears like normal when i lock it while the phone is slid open, like i said, nothing big just little bothersom things
And also when the screen is off and black, it will randomly turn on and just have a solid gray screen for usually a few seconds and will shut off again. Is that a sign of something else going wrong?
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated
thanks
I just started having this "bug" yesterday. Basically, what happens (randomly) is that when I press the power button, remove the stylus, or slide the phone open to wake it up I'll be met with a black/blank screen. The backlighting will be on, and the phone is responsive (can receive messages, make calls, sounds/notifications work), but I won't be able to use the screen. If I use the power button to turn the screen back off and wait a few seconds, the screen might start working again. This is completely random and I cannot duplicate it with any guaranteed process, but it seems to be when the phone is waking up from standby. After a soft reset, probably half of the time I'll be met with this same delima, which leads me to believe it's hardware and not completely software.
At the same time the phone is also struggling to re-paint the screen from the change of Landscape-to-Portrait and visa versa. Also opening and closing windows to get back to the today screen also cause a problem. I've disabled TF3D to see if that makes a difference, it doesn't. I have a blank today screen with no plugins to free up the system resources, and am still having this issue.
I'm using JD's Rom (probably around 1.3, it's been running fine with no issues up to this point).
I'm also using S2U2 1.35 (if that makes any difference, haven't had any problems until recently)
The phone has never been dropped, it's in InvisibleShield, and normally sits on my desk charging all day.
This started happening last night for no apparent reason and it's really starting to irratate me.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Re the black screen:
Sounds like its software related. For example, I sometimes have this if I leave PocketTwit in the foreground and turn off phone. What software did you install yesterday? Also, do you try to press the home key and see if that clears the screen?
After more testing..
After some more fiddling around with the phone I'm about 90% certain it's a hardware issue. I noticed that when I slide the keyboard out if the slide portion is past the number line then the screen will stay on, but not update. I don't know how well I can explain it. If I'm typing and hold the screen to keep it from opening all the way then I can see the letters/words appear (in txt msg/email), but if I let the screen goes and it slides all the way open then the screen will stay on and only show what has already happened, any more typed characters will not appear, but if I move the screen back to the number row then the screen will re-draw and update what has happened.
Is this something that Sprint should fix no questions asked?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The last piece of software I installed was Gyrator 2 on Friday-ish. Thinking that it was the problem, I removed it using MemMaid. I'm going to give the phone a flash tonight and see if it is software related (hoping for the easy fix) but as the post above says, I'm almost certain it's a hardware issue. I just wish I knew how it happened. . . So much for that time putting those InvShld on.
Final Update (this can be closed)
I took it into a Sprint store and they replaced the "flip" on the top for free (I have insurance).
Point of the story/thread, this can be closed, it was a hardware issue, and now it's fixed.
I have had this issue forever. I have done a couple of hard resets for other reasons over the months and it stays.
I occasionally get a lockup. When I do, the phone acts alive, but the touch screen is dead. I am using the Today screen, not Sensui. The two soft keys at the bottom of the page are "Delete" and "Menu" instead of the normal "Calendar" and "Contacts". And they pull up the menus for the inbox.
So it acts as if I am in the inbox, instead of on the today screen. But I see a locked up oday screen.
And I believe it only happens if I use a photo as my today screen background. I don't think it happens with a plain background.
Has anyone else seen this?
This is a VZW device, with stock 6.5 rom. Using the today screen with Phonealarm and Pocketbreeze.
Have you installed Dynamic Resource Proxy and NoPushInternet? Those might help.
When you are "locked up", is there any way to get the touch to start working again? If your touch screen stops working completely and only a soft reset brings it back, it sounds more like a hardware issue.
I'm having an issue with my Nexus 5 after the 5.0 updates. I'm currently on 5.0.1 but had the same issue with 5.0. My device is completely stock. Just never felt like doing anything to the nexus 5. First phone I decided not to root. The issue i'm having is that every once in a while during a day I will try to turn on my phone to view any notifications or just refresh some news sites. Instead of getting the lock screen and hearing the unlock click to slide, i'm taking right to the home screen bypassing the slide to unlock. All applications at this point will glitch. For example, if i open hangouts, it will open but be blank. Spotify might open, or just be a dark gray screen. Other apps just behave very strangely. If I try to press the home button, it lights up and won't do anything. If i press the multi-task button it looks like it will show the running apps but then just shows a blank screen. If I press the back button many times, it takes me back to the home screen which might or might not be blank. The only way around this is to reboot my phone. But this is happening a few times a day. Often, i'll also see the home button and multi task button disappear. I've taken two screen shots of what it looks like. Has anyone ever seen this issue? I don't mind downgrading back to 4.x or rooting for a custom rom if that will resolve this glitch. I can also provide a list of installed apps if anyone wants to know. So what do you guys think of this?
