Screen won't turn off with IM app open? - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General

Hey everyone! I've got yet another problem... I have Jivetalk installed, alpha, and when it's CONNECTED, it won't turn off the screen. Only dim! But when DISCONNECTED (but still open) it does turn off!
So I thought "Geez... Lemme install another app!" so I installed Palringo, and same thing... Screen dims but won't turn off!
Is this a kind of known issue with apps that use data or leaves ports open or something? Some help or advice would really be appreciated.
www.beejive.com, if you'd like to try jivetalk (which I recommend 100%. They're the best.

I'm from Beejive, the developers of JiveTalk.
The screen item is a known open bug in our current alpha build (0.5.2). It will be fixed in our next build, 0.5.3.
You should get an alert in your app when the new build becomes available.
thanks.

Ohh then that makes me happy to hear that! Is there an ETA on it? I love your products, I've been using Jivetalk on my ipod touch and my blackberry. Also, is there a forum specifically for you? Or a Thread somewhere to talk about the WM6 build? Thanks

we haven't ran a forum for this alpha cycle yet, though we will start a few threads here and maybe one or two other forums once we go beta, which should be soon.
The backlight fix is already in the 0.5.3 dev build, but we're waiting on a few emoticon support fixes (the main feature in the 0.5.3 build) before releasing it to the registered alpha users.
For feedback, we prefer emails sent to our winmo address --> [email protected].

Wish MSN Mobile would keep the backlight on - it goes off in its normal power saving mode, but doesn't light back up again when you receive a message.

OK I think I understand what's going on. I see that on Skype they give you an option to turn off the screen or not, because they want to know if it should be turned off and go into standby or not. By default it must keep it from going into standby to keep a constant connection. I imagine JT must do the same thing. hehe. Can't wait for the next version weee! because right now when I receive a missed call, or an SMS and the screen turns on (i manually sleep it with the top button to keep JT open and not kill the battery) it stays on. Last night I went to bed early, put it to sleep myself, woke up and the screen was on all night. From 97% battery to 45 in 8-9h hours without use (my usage, but the screen was on! haha)
Can't wait Keeping my fingers crossed.

[RELEASE]HTC-BlueAngel 6.5 5.2.21176WWE2CX3.1 by sun_dream

Seems sun_dream found yet another build, hes saying is pretty fast, i cant wait till he releases it, heres the link to his blog post
edit:heres a mirror thx to homam_france
He has sent me a beta, which I will be testing sometime between today and tomorrow. I will post some feedback on this. Stay tuned!
I hope the shell won't distort the OK and X Buttons anymore

Great, I just installed Xplode's R3. But i want to try it too.
egzthunder1 can i test it too?
i better get my BA fix up ASAP, the hardware buttons are not so responsive, it seems I am going to be busy flashing
Well,
Day 1 after flashing sun_dream's latest. So far, very fast and stable. Here are the main points (in my opinion anyways)
*Titanium seems a lot more responsive than before (I still don't like it though )
*The removal of windows and menus animations make the device respond faster overall.
*Unbelievably responsive kinetic scrolling.
*The honeycomb is actually usable now!!
*Settings were put back into categories (Personal, System, Communications).
*Battery life seems good, no major drainage.
*"OK and X" bug fixed and working fine!!
*Wifi nice and steady (still need to test PIE8 and Iris Browser).
*Transparent Top bar looks awfully nice! (too bad the programs replace it with the Black bar)
Things I did notice were as follows:
*The Wifi icon seems to be getting cut off from the bottom down. In other words, you can only see half of the icon.
*Power in the Power Settings doesn't show a percentage anymore.
I still need to do some further testing (e-mail setup, etc), but overall this rom is superb!
Will report back later.
Good Job Sun!!!!!
he sent me a beta too but got a big problem...my cradle ain't working anymore!

You can always use mtty and flash via SD.
hey Egz...I'd like to try that but I need my cradle so I need to go to a local phone store first thing tomorrow. I tried to fix the cradle myself but ended ruining it more so how is the 2117x build vs xplode's r3? 21169 x2 is so buggy so I flashed my BA back to wm6.1....

I havent' had a chance to test xplode's R3, but sun's is a very nice rom (so far anyways). I still have to test BT (headset and GPS).
One thing I did notice also, is that it seems that data transfer via AS is a lot faster than in previous builds... I guess M$ finally did something right
You can read the rest of my review in my previoius post. Good luck with your craddle situation
A little further testing...
*I purposely soft reset the device and it took approximately 1 minute to wake up completely and loading PointUI Home 2. So, it has a very fast wake up time!!
*I set up my g-mail account with no problem.
*I don't use SMS, so I cannot test that.
*Lock application seems a bit faster and more responsive than in older builds.
*PIE is a bit faster, but I still have other browsers that I like to use. I will test YouTube later (with both PIE and Iris).
Left to do...
*Test BT connection with headset, and GPS (Pharos BT receiver).
*Test IR/BT data transfer... (I have to find another BT and another IR enabled device to do this)
*Must finish going through the settings to ensure that they all work.
Will do more later...
ok seems like 2117x is a lot stable vs the older wm6.5 builds..waiting for your BT test result...

BT = Bluetooth?
if so, it's always a trouble-maker
i found strange issue with lockscreen, when you have locked your device and pressed power (entered standby) and recieve a call the answer lockscreen part does not show upon device resume, this bug does not happen when device is locked and not on standby - you may try the scenario yourself, i think that this bug is present in 21169 too (no matter sun or my roms)
tested various rom configurations, rebuilded about 20 times this rom, but this nasty bug stays
as of now I am very contented with wm6.1 v3.02 by sun_dream. I need to use my BA so I think I will just wait for a more stable build of wm6.5
Well, I tested (tried to pair really), my GPS receiver, but no dice... For some reason, the device either looses connection or just flat out does not recognize the pass-code. The BT headset, on the other hand hasn't given me too much trouble. It paired up nicely...
@xplode,
I'll give it a shot, but I don't normally use my BA as a phone (unless I am traveling)... which I will do on Monday, so I'll let you know then.
Still stable and no SR so far, except for one time when I was using wifi and my device went into power saving mode (turned off the screen) and afterwards, it would only have a black screen... had to SR there. I tried to recreate the situation on a few occasions with no luck... I guess it was a one time thing.
More reports to come..
well i had the same thing today, blackscreen - only fixed with hard reset
soft reset gets me back to the black screen
This appears to be a secret and private talks thread
Why are others kept in dark about the build 2117x? Once its disclosed that such a build exists, every one gets interested in trying it. If there is a reason for keeping it hidden from others for the time being, better use private messages. Just my two cents.
if we just talk about it, Microhell can't do something about it... now if we link to it here DIRECTLY, then xda-developers is in Trouble.

@April 1,
The reason is rather simple. If you release something that has bugs and things (something you would consider a pre-release), you will have an enormous amount of people asking the same questions over and over and over and over.... and over again (kinda like it is right now but worse).
It is a lot easier to develop something when the beta testers are finding all the minor things and not hitting themselves on the face with major bugs that might require hard resets and stuff.
We are not trying to keep anyone in the dark (that is why we are reviewing this build), but sun_dream will release it when he deems it is ready for public use. So far, he has not made mistakes (at least not many) in his ability to judge when a rom is suitable for release.
Just be patient... this should be out soon

Blinking LED constantly while using Android

I've had a quick search but cant seem to find anything. So thought I would ask.
When using android the green status LED at the top of the HD2 keeps blinking. A bit like when you get a message in WM. Is this normal or have I set something up wrong.
Using darkstone release with latest cotulla zimage.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It is a "feature" since the last zimage. i think it will be fixed with a zimage in the future.
superb work, thank you all devs
Its to attract the attention of the iphone users.... in morse code its say "Look at me I can run more than one task, and more than one operating system!"
It's a shame it doesnt project a big neon sign above it saying the same!
Isn't this how most WM devices used to be? (Not exactly sure, as the TP2 was my first WM device. Perhaps someone more experienced could step in.)
I think their LEDs would constantly blink to show the phone was on.
Maybe it's the same thing.
I have the same problem (with the same ROM). Also the key pad lights stay on also. Not that bothered by it because the awesomeness of Android/froyo outweighs any negatives!

You can avoid the keypad lights to stay on with the following:
When your phone is shut down turn it on.
When windows is booted never press a button from the keypad!
Go to your sd card and android folder and start calcid.exe and haret.exe.
Now the keypad shouldn´t turn on the lights!
Thanks for the help. I've had my phone running android for a few hours and now the blinking LED has stopped. So now I'm very confused but oh well not major issue.
Keep up the good work devs. I'm going to donate by not sure who to donate too yet lol!

Eris problems I've been having

The reason i put this in the developers section is because I'm sure they've run into these issues.
I am currently running the new white widow "Phoenix". I am OC'ing at 710.
ISSUES:
Screen wont wake. I have to pull the battery and reboot.
If I tap the phone on a table on the top left corner of the device (lightly) it shuts off.
Sometimes I go to wake the screen and it reboots. Somehow having turned off.
I hit the home button and all I see is the status bar and a blank rest of screen.
I've tried froyo roms as well as a couple 2.1s and all of these have occurred on each rom. Help? Thanks in advance.

based upon that statement, personally, i think your phone (hardware) is jacked. i've used just about EVERY ROM in existence... never had any of the issues you described.
i've even dropped my phone on concrete, tables, etc... no shut-offs, etc.
probably not what you want to hear, but i'd probably flash a fairly stock ROM, see if still happens. if so, probably time to get a refurb/warranty replacement!

WHY WOULDN'T YOU POST THIS IN ITS OWN THREAD? WW has its own thread ask the developer of the rom, this is getting out of hand. it is a specific issue with a specific rom please help keep the forum clean.
sorry for snapping i know your new but next time please, this should be kept to its own thread.

Sorry dude (I think your a dude, anyway) but read the whole post from the top he said he tried it on many roms and it happen in all of them so its not rom specific
if this is happening on multiple roms, and with the issue you described with the phone acting up if it gets tapped, my advice would be to 1 try a stock rom and see if it still happens and 2 if it does call vzw or the insurance company and get another phone. because to me also it sounds as if its a hardware problem, not a software (rom) problem
what really sucks is that I just got a replacement because the trackball broke :/. I'm think it might be the extended battery I have shaking loose a little. That would do it I suppose. Thanks for the replies. And I apologize to the user who wants the forum clean. Not only did I try it on multiple roms but I knew I'd get more replies if I posted it here.

Also I've heard of others having the screen wake bug. Where it doesn't turn on the lockscreen at all. Is there something I could flash to fix it?
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
I just put in the original battery and and back. So far no random shutting off or shutting off when it taps something hard. Will update.

[Q] Phone goes to sleep, doesn't wake up 50% of the time.

Hi all,
I'm running OzDROID 2.0 for my rom, 2.10.50.26 for my radio, and Hyperdroid1.6 for Android. Also TMOUS. I just recently updated my rom from an energy build to this one (wanted a lighter, faster loading WinMo). I've been having a nasty problem with the screen not coming back on when it goes to sleep. The buttons light up when i press them, but the screen stays black. Just today alone, i've had to pull the battery FOUR times. Some days it's ok, some days it's a nightmare. I checked the hyperdroid post for a radio recomendation but couldn't see any. I've tried using SetCPU to adjust clock speeds using profiles for sleeping, etc in hopes that some obscure thing will work. no good. I mean, what if i see bigfoot and want to snap a pic but the screen doesn't turn on?
My only ideas left include:
-Formatting my 16gb SD card. (would like to avoid, but will do if people think it would help. I hate setting stuff back up)
-Getting Hyperdroid1.7. (Havent yet cause 1.6 w/ Cyanogen is pretty F'n awesome, and minus this problem, i LOVE it)
-Updating my radio. (Going to do this anyways as i randomly get the "robot voice" problem. I plan on upgrading to 2.12.50.02_2 unless anyone has better suggestions)
I just wanted to check here to see if anyone has one of those "Ohh, enable <enableable option>, dumbass!" fixes. I'm not that experienced with this phone stuff. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Searching is your friend. App tray->Settings->Display->Auto-Rotate to OFF/Auto brightness to OFF. This has been covered bajillions of times, the HD2 builds of Android have problems with rotation and the light sensor causeing the kernel to wig out and BSOD.
Sorry for inconveniencing you. If you had any idea how much time i've spent on here trying to figure it out, you'd understand why I decided to just ask this myself. I've had this problem for a month and am finally just now posting. If I found that anywhere I would have gladly done it. The funny thing is - those two ARE disabled, and have been. I dont like auto-rotate and auto-adjust brightness has always been off.
I even took the time to read the "similar posts" that are recommended after typing in the subject.
Since those two are off and my problem persists, I suppose I should format my SD card and try other stuff. So while that problem may have been covered "a bajillion times" it appears your solution is not the miracle cure and is probably a good reason as to why it's been asked "a bajillion times."
Why is it then when I tell people to search, they instantly peg me as some jackass just trying to pawn them off. This issue, the "black screen of death" or, "my phone wont wake from sleep under android" HAS INDEED been covered many, many times. It's cause by either what I just told you, or the particular kernel that you are running is one that tends to get stuck in the sleep mode and won't let the screen come back on. Seriously 9 times out of 10 the problem is caused by auto rotate or auto brightness.
Ashasaur is right but also none of the android versions are very stable anyway and eventually you will face this problem on all of them some sooner than others but they will eventually crash in one way or another

I don't doubt that, but when you reply to someone asking for help with a tone as if they are retarded, don't expect them to buy you flowers. Sorry this has been asked so many times but I feel i put good time into researching this problem and didn't see a problem asking a Question on a QUESTION and answer forum. Like i said, sorry i inconvenienced you and I do appreciate your response, however you did come across as a jackass. I understand you probably deal with a lot of crap as a forum mod, but I didn't post this intending to ruin your day. You can see my post count and gather from it that I don't spend days posting pointless questions. If I came across a solution that worked, this post wouldn't exist.
Try a different radio(2.11.50.20) seems to be doing good for me, also try copying your files to a better SD card. And there is a tab under Setting>Home>>Items that says Home Timeout: 4 Hrs... try unchecking that box. I am new to the HD2 also and trying to tweak it just right so it stops turning off in the middle of the night and making me late for work cause no alarm lol

Just saying Hi

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and introduce myself.
I'm fairly new to posting, as I have been sitting back and searching and reading to get all my info.
My name is Dan and I have a HTC Incredible with recently flashed MIUI 1.12.9 and 2.6.38.8-incredikernel-12/08/2011. I have used McTwist and Nils Business GingerSense ROMs in the past. I find MIUI to run great on my phone and its custom UIs are great. I run LauncherPro to give me back my app drawer instead of having all my apps on multiple screens.
Thanks to all the developers and everyone who made rooting possible. Keep up the great work.
Quick question..
I just came from MIUI, same specs, back to CM7.
I'm having issues, where the wifi on my phone will disconnect when the phone screen turns off...
I use this handset as a home-line, radio..
When i plug it up to the speakers, and let the music play... as soon as the screen shuts off.. so does my wifi..
i use DI.fm for my radio app
GrooveIP for my goovle Voice line,
and Google Voice Text messaging app for texts.
Please, if you have noticed this issue, or would mind testing it with MIUI, that would be great.
I have been running CM7 mostly.. but,last week i decided to see what all the hype about MIUI was..flashed, was working well, then all of a sudden the wireless thing appeared.
Come to think of it,
we did switch wirelessrouters out about the time the issue was noticed...
Let me do some more testing with the old router, and see if that makes any difference.
Welcome to the forums!!!! ;]
Thanks in advance for any input\testing\results you may come across

Change your sleep policy in advanced settings?
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Yup, it's been on 'always on' the entire time... I changed it back and forth between the three options just to see, as well, and still the same issue.. :/
Going to test the old router and see if it is something with that..
Results soon
Edit:
Okay, it's something to do with how the phone handles the router..
The old router, linksys e2100l, works fine. When the screen turns off, the wifi connection stays active.
The new router, rspro, for some reason drops about thirty seconds after the screen shuts off. :/
The linksys e2100L is running the latest ddwrt software,
The router station pro is running the latest openwrt backfire port. With ath9k wifi drivers.
I'll look more into this and see what's going on. I have a feeling this might be a cm7 universal issue, so i might get my hands on some more devices to test..

Just so you don't think I was ignoring you, I tested MIUI with just headphones and the MIUI music player and my WIFI stayed on. I don't use GrooveIP or DI.FM so can test that portion.
I do see that you have most likely solved your problem. Good luck getting new router to work
