Diamond Turning On For No Reason

[nosro]

It's a big deal because the screen is then unlocked. If the phone is bouncing around in a pocket, random screen touches occur with the associated calamity.

I installed SensorLock just because of this problem.

Exactly. Wouldn't want the device to make un-timely phone calls without your knowledge. And as slim as the battery life--why should the screen turn on unecessarily?

It is not a WM bug. I have other WM devices that don't do this. I've only seen this on HTC devices. It seems like when the device goes from 1xRTT to EVDO and/or goes from poor coverage to cell-site acqusition, the screen lights up. PITA.

Have you tried S2U2? It's the only way I can get thru the day without mistaken calls.

yep mine does it when it goed to roam or even when i lose/gain signal

My Alltel 700wx never did it... but all of my HTC devices have and do.

My HTC Diamond also does this. I have tried to replicate the problem. I have narrowed it down to either the light sensor or the g-sensor though I can't get the combination right. I have "Auto Adjust Backlight" unchecked but when I remove my phone from the case it wakes automatically. If I rotate the phone in my hand, it wakes.... This is driving my INSANE because when I try to replicate it, guess what....IT NEVER DOES IT TWICE IN A ROW. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

PS... it will also happen if I shake the phone. give it a try and see if yours does it....

UPDATE.....
Removing G-sens does not help.

My 700wx did this, but I had a lock enabled on that phone so even if it came on the screen would be locked until I pressed a certain button.

Maybe it's not hardware or software related. Maybe it's....

GHOSTS!!

THAT FOLLOW US AROUND!!

AND F WITH OUR PRECIOUS HTC DEVICES!!

I'm thinking either we call the kids on Paranormal State for an investigation, or perhaps contact M. Night Shyamalan to make a movie about it. Maybe Bruce Willis could play Peter Chou.

*I see dead people. They're everywhere. And they keep waking up people's phones.*

Call Ghost hunters!! tis ghosts....I'm tellin ya.....j/k....It has happened to me a couple of times and so far it hasn't been a big deal. But it can be I'm sure if it wakes and calls people randomly in my pocket.

I noticed my phone was on in my pocket right after I got home last night. I had just come within range of my Airave.... so that might (or might not) have something to do with it.
