I can not use my TomTom whatsoever with this ROM, or half my apps which do not require me touching the screen/phone within every 30 seconds.

What's the deal?

And no, changing the power settings does nothing.

It's probably the powerexe.exe app itself.

I hope you donate to him as well before freeloading off his ROM's then blasting him about how you could never recommend it to anyone! Not pissed off at you but remember, insight not incite!

peace be with you my friend-

Dragon, yes, read above.
The screen turns off by itself (usually after 30 seconds of non-physical activity; i.e. no touching of the screen or buttons) and it happens regardless of whatever you're power settings may be (Start > Settings > System > Power > Advanced).

For example, I have mine set to turn the screen off after 1 minute of no activity, but it still does it in 30 seconds.

Furthermore, in apps such as TomTom, the screen will shut off after 30 secs, forcing me to hit the power button and thus kill my GPS connection briefly, the Voice Navigation also doesn't work when the screen is off. This happens once more regardless of whatever I have the power settings set at.

It renders a lot of apps unusable, and can also be frustrating when doing things such as answering calls and trying to enter digits on the dialer (where it seems the screen turns off after merely 5-10 seconds of no activity rather than 30 elsewhere).

The other MR's never had this problem, but as quoted above, Mike says hes looking into it / working on it.

And yes heydjbobby74, I've donated before, and I'll gladly donate again if Mike can patch this up for us.
