Hi Everyone,
I've checked around this message board and the web and haven't found much info. I'd like to be able to extend the duration the keyboard back-light is on for at least a few more seconds but have not been able to find much other than the ability to enable/disable it. Sometimes, I'll get part way through a text message and if I have to stop and think about what I'm going to type, the light goes out within a few seconds. I've also searched through as many settings on the phone as I could think of and haven't found any that could change this. I'm running CM9, alpha 4. Can anyone provide some insight on if it can be changed or if there even is a setting that can do this?
Thanks!

I have notices that when writing text messages the keys freeze and sometimes the letters jam on and continue to writeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee like that.
Please if anyone has a solution to this let me know.
Never seen this issue...do you have several things working in the background? Unless you were drowning the memory elsewhere, I can't think of anything except dirt or something else in the keyboard itself.
Good luck.
Thank you, for your responce.
I have checked the memory and made sure it was the only programme running and the problem still persists.
I have another quiry regarding sms's, is there any way you can increase the size of the text screen when replying? At the moment i can see the past conversations on the large portion of the screen and i only have a small area to write in.
Any advice or shall i just give up? lol
Hey, if got the same problem with my TP. I really dont know why.
I had a similar problem. I had changed wifi settings to best performance (from default of best battery). My keyboard slowed to a crawl and repeated characters. Changing the setting back to best battery cured it but it is annoying that you can't actually use the setting without messing up the keyboard.
Thanks for the advice, i have noticed the keyboard is more responsive with the WIFI off. If anyone knows a better way to solve this and keep wifi on please let me know.
Has anyone worked out a way to increase the typing space or not have the past messages on the screen while writing sms messages?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
please read the wiki on rapheal to solve ur problem related to typing area size.
look under known rapheal issues. involves changing value of a registery key from 35 to 70 .. this gives u 3 lines.
I didn't need to turn wifi off entirely, the setting I changed was
Start>Settings>Connection(tab)>Wireless LAN>Power Mode(tab)>Move slider to "best battery". Other people have needed this slider in different places - dependent on ROM. Try it in all 3 positions and see how you get on. You might need to soft-reset between changes.
Hi guyz,
Googled it with no real solution, nobody in the Touch Pro forum seem to have it either.
Is there any way to disable waking my ppc or at least lock the touch panel on notifications like low battery, appointments etc. Message notification is easy to disable, Answerkeys Disabler works like charm when it comes to incoming calls but I want to disable waking up the device on any notification and have only audible alerts.
Often when in pocket or case my TP wakes on low battery or appointment reminder and starts random dialing, texting, etc. which is getting annoing.
Thanks in advance,
dEM
there may be a registry key you can delete so that you don't get notifications at all.... i'm not real sure about which ones though. i'll look around.
EDIT: SHNotificationRemove at msndn :

Good question,hope someone has an answer
how about usin s2u2? doesnt solve it exactly but maybe a workaround?
There are some locking solutions over there. I'm looking for one that doesn't lock my device all the time but only on these notifications. The best will be if it doesn't even wakes up.
Just great! More than a month I've been trying to find a solution to this problem with no success!
Hi,i hope this keeps the thread alive,i would also like to know if its possible and how
Me Too!
I have this exact same problem. When a reminder alerts me on the phone it wakes up the unit and turns the display on. If this stays in my holder it just keeps the phone on because it senses all the pushing... We have a PIN enable so it won't do anything major. But there are times I've pulled out my phone to find it awake (on) and there are * in the password field - so I know it is sensing touches when in the holder. This definitely drains the battery.
HELP PLEASE! Any Fix found?
I'm having this problem as well - anybody out there got any ideas...?
I hate how there seems to be no solution to this! It didn't happen to me in WM6.1, so it must be buried within 6.5 in some dark, fetid, unreachable place :-(
I keep accidentally dialing people with my bum when one of my reminders goes off. Grr!
EDIT: I did finally cave and install a slide to unlock feature (S2U2) which I got from http://a2-s2.com. I was surprised with the level of customization you can do with this program, and I do love how I can have the slider's wallpaper change randomly, so I am greeted with a different image each time I unlock the phone. I know it's not what any of us were looking for, but it's a workable solution for now.
I've since gotten round this by using PocketShield - works well for me. Doesn't work well with the PIN lock though....
I'm using Smartlock for locking the screen; incoming call and stand return from suspend.
It has an option "suspend after lock".

disable wake on notification
finally figured it out, a few years later.
still can't find a factory setting for it, but i downloaded NILS (notification lock screen) and it gives you the option to disable wake on notification. hope it helps
I'm trying this program out to get my phone profiles to change automatically (silent for work and wifi/bluetooth on at other times like when plugged in etc).
I have set up details for auto switching but the behaviour now of the profiles is a bit weird at times.
When I have an automatic switchover for instance from Home to Work (silent) profiles, I'm not certain if it's actually doing it or not.
What happened this morning for instance was that I got to work at 8.40 and checked my phone and it still had the speaker icon showing normally in the taskbar as if it was still set to 100% volume, BUT, when I pressed the volume rocker to set it silent, I found the volume bar was already fully down, suggesting it had actually changed the volume setting as required and presumably switched the profile, but simply not refreshed the speaker icon on the taskbar to show that the phone was now set as silent or vibrate.
Hope that makes sense!
On top of that, whilst it seems to work well to switch both wifi and bluetooth on when required, it doesn't always seem to turn wifi off again when it should. I'm fairly sure it's not just a case of profile settings causing it just to remain on because the profile it's gone back to still uses wifi after an auto switch.
Would love to keep this program but only if I have total confidence that my phone is not going to ring when it's meant to be silent etc, and it's a little misleading at the moment with the impression it sometimes gives about whether the phone is actually silent or not.
Anyone else have these issues, and any way I can correct this?
Cheers!
if you've gone in to setting-->profiles --> and click option --> automatic switching
then you are doing it right
also realise there are option for switch on/off bluetooth/wifi/radio etc when setting up your profile
also if you can't see the PhoneAlarm taskbar on your front screen, then that would mean its not install properly and therefore not working, hope that helps
have you been to the forums @ pocketmax.net? there is tons of information there, and plenty of help for questions such as this.
I have been using phoneAlarm with no problems whatsoever for years now...
oh, and by the way, your signature does not reflect what ROM you are using -- I have noticed on the more recent Energy ROMs of mine that the taskbar is sometimes "slow" to refresh. for instance, when unplugging usb/charger the battery icon does not change from the 'lightning bolt' back to percentage until a minute or so... (this could possibly be related to volume icon as well)
Thanks for the replies
No I've not looked on their forum I must admit. Will be worth checking out though.
I'm very interested in the comments about this slow refresh with the taskbar though as I think that must be the problem.
I had noticed the same thing with the charging 'lightning'' icon but had forgotten until you mentioned it.
I've added my rom info in signature - thanks for pointing that out.
Is there any cure for this behaviour with the taskbar other than swapping Roms?
I'm quite happy really with this one, unless someone wants to recommend a rom that's radically better and doesn't have this particular issue?
Plus the fact I could potentially go through loads of other roms til this is solved, or just be trading this bug for another one.
Would love to solve it though. This app is growing on me but if I have to double check each time it swaps a profile to make sure it's done it then it defeats the purpose of having it.
I realise at least that this may not actually be the fault of the app itself though.
I tried looking everywhere but couldn't find any questions or answers. I didn't really have the time to sort through over 100 pages. This isn't really a huge problem..just a few things i liked about the phone. First of all, why are some of the tweaks disabled? Is there a way to enable them? Also, is my gps not turning on or does the icon in the notification bar just not show up? Then, the vibrate feedback, for the four keys at the bottom are extremely low. Just wondering if this happens with anyone else's phone.
I do not know if I have a unique problem or I changed something in my settings but I have spent hours online and on my phone trying to figure this out. If I get a notification and pick up my phone within a short period of time (less than a minute or so), whatever app that notification came from launches and displays the item that sent the notification. For example, if I get a text message or email and pick up my phone with the intention of launching my web browser, the text message or email will pop up on my screen before I can do anything. This is great if I want to read that text or email but often I do not want to do that until later and it irritates the crap out of me to have to close that app and go where I intended. I think I may have changed a setting and cannot find my way back to the setting to turn it off but not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am posting this in case anyone else runs into this problem. I finally figured out it was not an S8 setting, it was a Gear watch setting. I turned on Smart Relay in the Gear settings and caused this.
