Unintentional turn-on in the Jamin?

I've tried to do a search on this problem, but nothing came up. Maybe I'm searching the wrong keyword. If someone know anything about this, please advise. I got the Jamin recently, I pretty much went right into installing the 2nd ROM (vs the recent 3rd ROM). So I have nothing to compare to. For whatever reason, my Jamin keeps turning on by itself every few minutes. Not only that, it won't automatically turn off using the Power setting. Whenever it's time to turn off (ie, after 1min), the thing automatically turns on again (with the backlight on). I'm not sure if this is a ROM problem, a hardware problem, or software imcompatibility. Please help.

Hey
I've also had this happen on my Prophet - it seemed to fix itself after a while, but I also had the problem:
press power button to turn off
press power button to turn on, and backlight was off
couldn't get the backlight on again except going through the backlight settings!
I did fix this using...

Run this app on your prophet, and your backlight is back to normal.
I've found this problem in a number of threads - I'm updating them as I find the solution!

At times Backlight doesnt light up again - why?

Perhaps someone has an explanation why my backlight doesnt light up again when a button is pressed?
From time to time, the backlight goes dark and even though I am pressing buttons, screen, power button, etc, the backlight doesnt come back on. I have to search for the backlight adjuster (in the dark) in order to switch the light back on.
I have wisbar advanced and SpbPocketPlus installed - might that effect this somehow??
Thanks for any advice!

i have exactly the same problem and don´t know a solution. ;-(
Wisbar Advance 2.6.0.1 is installed, SpbPocketPlus not.
I think it comes more often if i use the camera, but it is not reproduceable...

I've never had this problem before, I dont have wisbar installed.

You may be doing a press and hold function on your device. Quick press of the power turns it off, a long press turns off the backlight. the only way to turn it back on is to long press the power button.
also you have settings that turns the back light screen off, which may be affecting this.

This problem used to occur on the O2 XDA2i ALL THE TIME!
Just my 2 cents. Sorry, not very helpful, but defo a problem we've seen before. You hvae to go into settings to start the backlight back up.

It hasnt happened lately (actually ever I posted this thread strangely enough) but its quite embarrassing when you have to find your way through a dark screen.
I put a large symbol of the brightness adjuster in one corner (using SpbPocketPlus), so I only have to find that symbol rather then start --> settings --> etc..... its not a cure but it makes it easier switching it back on.
If anyone has a remedy for this problem, please share...

Not sure why this happens, but I fixed it using...

I tried and still use the neo backlight fix. But this fix is only for forcing via startup a longer measured time for the light to stay on.
I too have suffered with the problem of the backlight not coming on every now and again after starting up the prophet. I've had this problem on numerous roms too which is interesting. What more interesting is that even in the days of my owning a Blue Angel (Orange M2000, MDA) I STILL remember having this intermittent problem with the light not always coming on. Only way I fixed it was to simply soft reset the device. Whenever I did that and when I do it now, it stops it happening for week or so at least.
I still use the neo back light fix too as my phone has the quick light turn off problem without it. Neo certainly created a good fix no mistaking.
All the best

i had the same problem...just put the same value to the standby and backlight ...( both 3 mins on mine)...and never happened again....i think it helps...

I have a strange backlight & power-off problem on my Qtek S200:
When the backlight is switched on and I press the Power button shortly to switch it to sleep mode, the screen gets blank but the backlight does not go off.
So now I wait first when the backlight timer goes off before switching the device to sleep mode manually.
Another problem:
When the power settings is set to switch the device off automatically, it reboots when the timer goes off. So my solution is to disable the auto power-off feature.
How to fix this to the original behaviour ?
I tried the neo_backlight_fix and set the backlight timeout to the same value as the standby timeout, but with no avail.
My Qtek S200 has still the original old ROM (G4 model) and Windows Mobile 5.0:
ROM version info:
IPL: 2.10.001
SPL: 2.10.001
GSM: 02.07.20
OS: 2.10.7.25
Please help me to solve the problem.
Maybe I messed up a lot and the only solution is to install a newer ROM which is available since some time at qtek.nl.
Thanks in advance.

PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY!!!! HTC Home plugin caused backlight problem.

I installed the HTC.Kaizer.Home.Plugin.with.Tabsetting.schen on my Alltel PPC6800. After setting up the weather tab for my city, setting up the pictures in the favorites tab, I was toying around in the launcher tab to see what the different icons did. When I tapped the 3rd one from the left (appears to be the one that adjusts the backlight) it turned off the backlight on my phone!!
I've tried everything I can think of to turn it back on with no luck. I tried pressing the power button, every other button on the thing, soft resetting it, and pulling the battery for as much as an hour and then restarting it. NO LUCK!! The phone appears to be working since I can press the phone button twice and call the last number called. I just can't see the screen.
WHAT DO I DO!!!! Is there anyway to hard reset it without going into settings and clearing the memory? Or is there some shortcut to turn on the backlight?
Oh, and BTW, it still syncs with my PC. (Again, I just can't see the screen!) So is there anyway to make any needed changes, hard reset, or anything else via active sync?
Sorry for such a retarded first post but I am at total loss here. I've searched and haven't found anyone having had anything similar to this problem. At least I haven't found it. Apparently I'm not as smart as I thought I was.
Much thanks in advance for any help provided!! I really depend on my phone!!

ActiveSync Remote Display. You sync your phone with the computer, run ActiveSync Remote Display on the computer, and it will display the contents of the screen. It's how a lot of people get screenshots of what is on their phone. Special installation instructions for WM6.

You need to hit the same backlight button again. That will toggle through several levels of back lighting, one of which is off.

HTC Diamond HD - goes to standby during a call

I just got new HTC Diamond HD phone from Orange.
Whenever I make a call, the phone goes to standby and I have to turn it on again from the top.
This does not happen if the phone is kept straight, only happens when the phone is close to the ear (may be some sort of light sensor).
Please help.
I have tried a few setting in registry but it still same.

Hi
maybe u can try THIS
sure this is what you are looking for...
cheers

That don't work, still goes off (light goes off), as soon as I dail a number and take to my ears. Phone is still connected and talking the actual handset goes off.

press the home button and the screen comes back on.

or pull the stylus out

thanks for your advise.
Any more ideas, keeps it awake without using stylo or press home page key.

Firstly, it's HTC TOUCH HD, not diamond hd.
Secondly, I think you are talking about protection during the call. If u'll turn it off, u would press some buttons or even hang with your ear

Sorry, It is HTC Touch HD.
I have cound the way to fix it.
This problems is caused due to the light sensor. This setting can be disabled.
I download HD tweak form http://montecristoff.webs.com/ and disabled the light sensor and it all works fine.
Thanks to all

Backlight dims, power button doesn't work properly...

I have had the Touch 3G for nearly a year now and for the last 3 months I have had this recurring problem which is fixed with a hard reset but will recur again after about 6 weeks. The symptoms are:
1. When turning on, the backlight dims just before the HTC flash screen and startup sound (when it says "Smart Mobility")
2. Touching the screen doesn't bring the backlight back on.
3. Pressing the power button doesn't turn the screen off from this dimmed state, but after pressing touching the screen will turn the backlight back on.
4. Pressing the power button again will now turn off the screen, but pressing it again won't turn the screen back on! If I call it from another phone, the vibrator goes on but it doesn't ring, the screen stays off and you can't answer the call. If you hang up on the other phone it keeps vibrating and you need to do a soft reset to stop it.
If I do a hard reset the symptoms are gone and reinstalling the exact same software doesn't cause the problems immediately but withing a month or so it happens again. All I did just prior to these problems was use TomTom a bit more than usual, but otherwise nothing different. I have used TaskManager to see if there is anything weird running in the background but it all looks fine. I have had a cursory look through the registry but also can't find anything?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like it's going all haywire. If you've had it less than a year, I'd send it in real quick. Sounds more like a hardware problem.

I don't think it is hardware as a hard reset fixes it...it just recurs down the track. I have done a hardrest and reinstalled all my apps and it is working great again but I was wondering if I should be checking somewhere in the registry for an aberrant setting. I am u using a backup image program so at least when it happen again I an restore my system more simply.

But then again, all the symptoms you mentioned point to a hardware defect. You could try to find a tweak, but like all electronic devices, it's the luck of the draw. Try emailing HTC and see what they say.
