how come I can't turn off the backlight anymore while holding in the power button, or turning it off in the settings > backlight (going all the way down) still won't work. The only time the backlight goes off is when its set to go off if not touched for 1 minute. Any fix for this?

Even when I untick 'On Battery power Turn off baclight if device is not used for ... Time', my Jasjar baclight goes off in 2 minutes. And, if I set this to 5 minutes still my Jasjar backlight goes off in 2 minutes. Also, when I choose to 'turn on backlight when a button is pressed or the screen is tapped, it doesnot turn on any button or screen tap. I can turn it on by power button or Call reject red button. Any registry hacks/ Am I missing something? I would like my backlight always on untill I press power button. Also is there any hack to turn on power/ backlight automatically when I open the lid?

Maybe a soft reset (fixes lots of weird problems like this). Cheers,
yeah and if soft reset doesnt help, do backup, sync with PC and do hard reset.
Hi All,
My Wizard is set to turn the screen off after a minute of inactivity.
To get it back on, I have to press the power button.
I've checked in backlight and power settings and have it set to allow a screen tap to turn the backlight on, but it's not working - well, if the backlight's off but the screen's on it works ok, but I want a tap to turn the screen and the backlight on together. At the moment I have to press the power button, which upsets Pocket Player MP3 playback...or I can press a hardware button, but again, this tends to interrupt playback of music as all the buttons are mapped to something.
Seems a simple request, am I missing anything? This is under the Mr Clean ROM, if it makes a difference.

Once the screen goes off, the phone is "sleeping". The only way I know of to turn it on at this point is to tap the power button. To do what you want would be turn turn off the screen going into sleep mode, but that will come at the expense of your battery life. Start>Settings>Power>Advanced then uncheck the Turn off device under On Battery Power.
device lock(s)
A halfway solution, you could turn the screen off using the device lock app, which includes screen off. Then when you press the power button it only effects the screen and not anything which is running. The second one is very good for listening to music with, assuming you volume control button isn't broken like mine
Hi there,
This is probably a daft question, but how do I completely turn off the device? At the moment if I press the silver power button; it just turns off the backlight the way it does if you close the lid. It's not THAT much of a problem, just a huge drain on battery power.
Any ideas would be great,

You can't turn the device off completely like a regular phone. If you press the silver button once quick it will put the device into low power standby mode. The backlight AND screen should turn off. If you hold the silver button for longer only the backlight will go off which is different.
There are also a number of power saving options in the settings which will determine how long the backlight is turned off and how long the device will go into standby automatically.
Does anyone know if there's a registry setting to get the backlight on the buttons to stay on longer. It seems like they stay on for about 10 seconds.
Occasionally I get a problem where pressing the power button does not wake my phone up from standby, the lights behind the buttons flash and then turn off but the screen turns off. This normally fixes itself fairly quickly but it's still a pain in the mean time
I'm getting the same thing and it started today. Pressing the power button doesn't turn on the screen but the keypad lights comes on and after 10 sec it goes away and the screen remains black. Pressing and holding down the power button for 3 sec brings up the lock screen and all is back to normal....that is until the screen goes black again!
Anyone having the same problem?
This is happening after i installed chainfire's new 2.0 3d patch. I'm going to uninstall it and see if it persist.
I'm on stock TmoUS HD2.
I had this issue before. Check whether the below setting is enabled.
Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Today > Items
The setting "Today timeout", at the bottom left hand corner,
should not be selected/enabled.
