Screen Randomly Wakes Up

bloodhound3785 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-12-2009, 08:01 PM

Hey guys,

I searched the TP2 forums, just wanted to see, is there a resolution to the screen randomly turning on?

It single handedly reigns havoc. Screen turns on in pocket, battery life starts wearing down, camera, phone dialer & other apps launch. It really is annoying. Hopefully there is a cab / registry fix for this?

Also,
The TP2 cleanup thread has one large cab, are there individual cabs for those tweaks incase I do not want to apply all of those tweaks?

Thanks,

I have the exact same problem. It just started in the last couple of weeks. I've had GoodThings2Life cleanup since I got the phone without any problems. Is there a chance that a PRL update could be causing the screen to wake from sleep mode to making me look stupid by calling people without calling them?

I read the Treo & TP forums and apparently there is a program that executes & ultimately calls the screen wakup method / function.

Maybe this can be disabled somehow?

Maybe that same thing can disable the screen wakeup when new text messages arrive....

There could be a lot of reasons why it could be turning on randomly.

Is it in the case, or out of the case?

A good thing to do first is download and install SKTools first, then check what's running in the background (processes and services). Mine turns on randomly sometimes but that's because of my RSS reader updating in the background.

lots of reasons why the screen wakes up
when you change service or towers the screen wakes up for some dumb reason.
you get a txt message, im assuming your not getting them, but this is a reason
and then i read, it happened to me once or i caught it once, at midnight it wakes up

I hear what you guys are saying, but is there a way to only wake up the screen on a phone call?

I have only exchange / activesync email running (asides from default TP2 apps)

Wake Up on New SMS

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
