ATT TILT Vibration Motor Wont Stop

Hello, I've recently set up ActiveSync for 15 minute intervals during peak time. I set "Vibrate" for New E-Mail Messages. Usually it vibrates for a few short bursts, but at least once per day the vibration motor freezes up and won't stop vibrating until I press the power button. The only other recent change to my settings was that I installed Bandswitch to keep connected to the Edge network and disconnect after 120 seconds. I don't know if this change is related to the vibration problem. Anybody have any suggestions?

if you have Magic Fingers installed, you might try uninstalling it

thanks for the advice, but I don't have Magic Fingers installed

hey. weird cause i used to have the same issue before, my phone whenever it received an email it would not stop vibrating until i removed the battery. lol weird i know. r u using the stock rom? ever since i changed rom's from stock i havent had that problem before.
try flashing ur rom to an upgraded att or htc rom, maybe it would solve ur issue as it did to me
best of luck

I have the exact same issue with incoming emails. For now I have turned off notification. Configuration is pretty generic.

This happened to me...
This happened to me once with the stock ROM. I have since upgraded to the leaked AT&T Tilt ROM and it hasn't happened since.

Any Hints?

I also have this problem, but its not with every e-mail. I receive between 10 and 20 e-mails a day and the continuous motor only happens about once every other day. I'm also on the stock ATT ROM. Anyone figure out what's going on with this?

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

this issue is a bummer

oh yeah this is becoming a real pita

Me too...
Using Blackberry connect on stock ROM on Tilt, new messages occassionally cause a constant vibration until I hit the power button.
Would love to know how to stop this,

In my experience I have found that this is caused by the device being forced to do something, i.e. check email, recieve email, before the device is fully "awake". The solution for me was acheived through the use of kaiser tweak. This also means there's a registry mod. for it as well, unfortunately I left my Kaiser at home today. If ylou change the device wake up to something more acceptable such as 15 seconds or 30 seconds instead of the 1 second default you may find this fixes your problem as it has for me!

If you did that, wouldn't you stand the chance of missing most of your phone calls while the phone is sleeping?

Diamond wakes up overnight - what causes it?

I tried searching, honest.
A couple of times a week I would wake up and notice that the Diamond screen is on and of course the power level is low. Something is waking up the device in the middle of the night. Any ideas what it may be?
As far as I know I have no scheduled tasks:
- I don't even have email set up
- ActiveSync is completely manual
- I have klaxxon installed but no alarms set up
- no other alarms
- no scheduled backups
Is there a program that logs events on the PPC so I can see what causes it to wake up?

Hmm
Well maybe it needs to go to the bathroom or sumting?
Did you check if ur Broadcast channels or not on maybe? Under Phone/ Settings/More If its on it will happen if it switches to another reception tower

I have noticed this once or twice on both my Diamond and the girlfriend's Ignito, once I just happend to notice both screens come on at the same time and it was dead on midnight!! I couldn't explain it and to my knowledge it hasn't happened again on my Diamond but the ignito seems to do it once a blue moon!!
Rich

I shall stay up and watch it at midnight to see what happens.
Has anyone used acbtaskman? I read that it has logging capabilities which may shed some light on this.

nice pun there

when got incoming sms, diamond will wake up.
Maybe u had enable this feature.

maybe he wants some milk

i think if your phone loses signal and regains it, the screen will turn on. IF that's the case...why doesn't it turn off? So it might not be that... :/

if not SMS and not task something, maybe phone call by lovely girl every night when she thinking about u, and she close the call fast..

My Experience with android till now

hi guys,
first of all a Huge Thaaaaaaaaaanx to every1 working on this project wich is nearly done i hope.
I wanted to share what i have experienced through android on my X1 just to make everything clear to me and ever1 who would like to try android on his X1
for me android is so close to be my primary OS on my x1, although some features r still missing but i'm using it for most of the time already.
EDIT: I'm using the Glossy version from this thread forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666735
-of course every1 knows about the battery bug which gives false battery reading most of the time, the battery drains very fast and overheats.
-"Force Close" i really hate these words, i get them on most applications i try to install or even on pre-installed such as Swype and i also get it on startup on google voice or something like that.
-Contacts r not correctly placed under letters, at least for me.
-scrolling needs to be a little smooth IMO.
-the speaker is always on which gives some strange sounds but it's not really that important unless it drains battery.
-every1 knows that camera and GPS r not working yet and i hope both of them will be working very soon.
-i tried t install some games, 5 in fact from 2 different sites 2 of them worked and they need to download some additional files to work which i haven't done yet cuz:
-I couldn't get internet to work through GPRS, i'm on Vodafone Egypt so i mailed them and waiting for their reply.
-no keypad/keyboard back light, although if u start android/ Haret while the keypad light is on it'll be always on, same for the four LEDs if u start Haret while they r on for any reason they will stay always on until u turn of android.
-I Had to choose no action for the END button so i can turn the phone off without any strange behavior but now i can't send the phone to sleep manually i just have to wait until it locks itself.
-when receiving a call, slide to answer is really annoying, i couldn't get it to slide so i have to answer using the hard key.
-Java Gives Force Close too.
-As I mentioned before i'm on Vodafone Egypt so obviously i live in Egypt and i need Arabic support which i couldn't find anywhere, Help Anyone??
------
Other than this i guess everything else works well, the keyboard is correctly mapped, dialer works well, sending or receiving TXTs, File managers, Music player, Video player, etc..
the Phone is overall stable, it only lagged once and i had to soft reset, unlike WinMo 6.5 which lags most of the time
That's all I can remember right now and I guess it's a long list but hopefully
everything will be working soon.
P.S. this is not a review so don't expect these info to be 100% accurate.
one more thing, excuse my bad English

Dont forget WiFi. WiFi works but u cant turn it off!! when u try to turn off WiFi the phone resets and when u go back to android its still on.
The only way to turn it off is to wipe data.img and start again lol.
Also using WiFi causes the battery level fluctuations, it must be interfering with something pretty badly for it to cause battery level false readings and reset the phone when turning off.

I haven't tried WIFI through Android yet but I once turned it on then off again and the phone did't reset and worked fine. maybe u r using an older/different version/build. I'm using the Glossy version from this thread : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666735

What happened to me is after the phone reset because try to turn wifi off, I tried to turn off again and succeed, may be the wifi part still 'lil buggy but anyway Good Job for all who involved in this X1-android thing, You all the best

strange ...
i have no trouble at all with WIFI!
Turns on and off like it should be!
i'm using the android from the "Howto run android on x1" topic.
my biggest bugg is that i cant send sms/mms

have u tried changing the SMS Center from +xxxxxxxxxxxx to 00xxxxxxxxxxxx in WinMo before running android?
it's said that this is the reason, i haven't tried to send SMS using android but after changing the SMS Center Number i couldn't send SMS using WinMo so i changed it back again.

i did change the + into 00
but that didn't work for me

Clock Issue with Energy rom

The issue im speaking of is the actual home screen clock. Every morning I have to re set it because it ends up becoming off by a few hours. I searched this forum and couldnt find anything. I had also posted the question in the Energy rom thread, but it kept getting swamped out by random question. Im running a tilt 2 FYI.
Any help appreciated, thanx

Did you set your time zone? Did you turn on or off internet time sync? Did you uncheck get time from network under phone settings? Any of these could be the cause of your problems...

Im feeling really dumb this morning...My alarm didnt go off this morning because of this same problem. And I cant for the life of me figure out hwo to make sure the clock is auto updating to the network.
Im running Energy Cookie Reference. I have seen the settings before...but cant locate them today.

Time synchronization?
Hi.
Do you have the automatic time synchronization on? Try to disable it.
Settings -> Personal -> Phone ->
or
Sense settings tab -> data services -> internet time sync ->

Hey thanks for the response...my settings are different though. I found the setting in BSB Tweaks and turned it off...only time will tell if it helps though...we will see if my phone fails to wake me up again tomorrow...

Left Energy yet again because of this issue...I dont know a whole lot about the technicalities but it seemed to me that the phone is 'going to sleep' and actually losing track of the time thus keeping my alarm from sounding in the mornings.
When I hit the power button to wake the screen up in the mornings it would be displaying a time that was hours behind and seemingly random (what lead me to believe the phone was in a deeper sleep than normal). Possibly a really stupid theory...but like I said I dont know a whole lot. I just know it was way unacceptable in my case.
I will still monitor his threads like always and try the latest and greatest ROMS.

Clock Issue with Energy romArrow
I think the problem you are having is the windows alarm bug. I used to get this all the time until i started using g-alarm. it fixes the issue when you first install it. (note that its a paid app.) but here is the description and the registry edit that you need to change to fix the problem.
can't post the link soo you will need to copy and paste the url below if you want to view the webpage.

Windows alarm bug
Windows Mobile has on some devices a strange behaviour: Although an alarm is successfully added to the WM notification queue (it's like a scheduler) it doesn't go off.
Searching the web gave me following information:
At midnight WM rebuilds the notification queue, therefore it wakes up for about 15 seconds. If the notification queue is too big or the device too slow WM goes to sleep again before it could finish building the queue for the next day.
If you force WM too stay awake for a longer time, it should successfully build the queue on at least more devices.
If you start G-Alarm and it complains about the Windows alarm bug, you've got the default WM settings (15 seconds WakeUpTime). If you press "Yes" G-Alarm changes it to 120 seconds which should be enough.
Here are the registry values G-Alarm changes:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\ACResumingSuspendTimeout
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BattResumingSuspendTimeout

[Q]Update to 2.3.4 offcial version - wifi, gps, signal problems

Hello everyone,
So i upgraded my O2X like a month ago... and since then i have had issues with it...
I've upgraded to 2.3.4 from LG official updates... and since my upgrade i've got some serious issue's with my phone..
1. Alot of times i can't send any messages, and i have to retry like 2-4 times before it's working...
2. people can't call me from time to time.... it just hang's up from the person trying to call me...
3. sometimes when talking to somebody, the sound get's all wierd like a scrathing sound with other mixed wierd other sounds... it goes like that for about 5-15 seconds.. Then it stops and and often then i can't her the other person anymore... but sometimes it also goes back to normal..
4. Signal is lost sometimes... the signal bar indicates that their's no phone service.... and then comes back after like 5-15 seconds...
5. wifi aint working anymore... can't use the internet..
6. today i needed to use the gps... but when it finally has found the route i need.. it aint "updating" where im driving..... so i have to close the gps, and then start it again so i can get a update of where the car is located.. its like a "still picture" if you get me...
Please note that i have NOT done any factory reset of the phone after 2.3.4 upgrade... as it cant be true that i need to do such thing everytime an update is launched from LG just to get the phone working....
i dont have anything else installed, like CM or even rooted or anything.. its all stock rom from LG...
Anyone has some ideas or clues of how i can fix these issues?

i have met all of these issues as well. i have to add another issue,"wifi turn off automatically".

have you been able to fix some of the issues abczhou?

Maybe a stupid comment of me , but have you already looked at the wifi-advanced settings? because there you can switch off the "wifi power saving or sleepmode".
You should also check all settings because everything is put back to factory settings..

same freaking issues
What a fail from LG. I bought this phone recently for my wife and I was accusing her being crazy!
I changed all the settigns in wifi for battery effeciency to keept it always on no matter what! wifi keeps disconnecting at times. Even during skype calls and needs to restart wifi(deactivate->activate).
Anyone having a solution for that issues? Otherwise a custom ROM is going to solve this? And if so please propose one for simple use.
It is so FAIL from LG releasing a ROM hat does not work as it should with default values. Android is for users also, not just geeks.

Have you done a 'factory reset' since you updated the device?
You shouldn't lose any stuff on the card, only the applications that were on the phone as such. (But better than sorry to make a backup just in case). Oh of course you will lose contacts unless they are synced with another source as well).
GPS> Make sure you leave the GPS turned on ALL the time. It won't use it unless it has too, and if you start the phone with gps turned off, it won't connect to gps properly. Wifi ? er.. perhaps you need to go into the wifi settings and have a fiddle around with the sleep mode? Or perhaps increase the screen timeout so it doesn't keep disconnecting the wifi so often?

Get a Samsung for sure!!
