Hope this isn't a complete hijack of this thread but the following seems related. I've asked this question on a couple forums with no response:

Although my Sprint Diamond Touch shows generally pretty good reception (good bars) most places, the signal strength is fairly weak at my home, which is in a bit of a valley. Apparently whenever the phone has to cycle between communication modes (EVDO to 1X? and back) due to weak signal, it comes out of hibernation and lights up the screen for the default period, goes off, and then after a short period comes on again. This can happen every several minutes indefinitely. I wouldn't mind, I suppose, but this is a little disconcerting in the middle of the night, and I hate to run down the battery unnecessarily.

This behavior does not occur away from home (or when all comms are turned off) which tends to reinforce the idea that it is signal strength related.

Do I have any options, other than keeping the phone in airplane mode when I'm at home and have home phone available? Any software or setting available to defeat this turn-on-screen-when-signal-strength-low behavior?

Or am I mistaken and the screen is cycling for another reason? Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks,
Mike
