Backlight! No solution?

What solution are exist for restore backlight after upgrade to T-Mobile 4.00.21?

Hi,
what kind of problem is there wicht your mda's backlight?
Bye, Dennis.

I assume that you are talking about the backlight failing to stay on sometimes and also possibly not coming on at all.
I have experienced this and seen quite a few people suggest the same problems, appears to be a problem with .16 & .21

and also with .33 German
Bye, Dennis.

I remember my mda lost backlight fuction after upgraded to WM2003 (but forget which version), but it only happens when I tried to restore my old data which the new rom.

screen lights on at 00:00

the screen of the xperia lights on at 00:00 and it sucks, I always think a call or new sms is coming.
I had many htc before and it never happened.
however I remember 5years ago, some of ppc did have the same pb.
I know that is at this moment that windows saves everything necessary.
any solution?

Second thread?
The only thing I can think of is a faulty ROM. I have heard about phones lighting up when they change services from GPRS to 3G and so forth, but not about ones that do it at a precise time.

believe me, mine lights on every single day at 12:59 pm
ps: I have the french version by SFR(maybe it affects the ROM?)

Try a different ROM.

Mine did that with stock R2 Czech, now it is doing with SEUS-flashed R3 Czech and almost no extra software installed (I didn't have time since the flash).
Maybe it's not a bug, it's a feature.
EDIT: Wait, I use the G-Alarm and I checked the option about correction of some Windows bug. Read more here: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/manual/limitations It's a feature!

My X1 does the same - but seriously - is that really a problem?

it's annoying for someone waiting for important phonecalls!
why should it happen on the xperia and not on my previous htc?

Same here. Also, I have a lock password set and the phone locks itself at that point in time, even when I am using it, which can be pretty annoying.
Edit: ROM is Generic UK R3A

Maybe this is the problem:

I remember there was a bug on all Pocket PC's where the device would turn on automatically at midnight, going back to the days when I had an Audiovox Maestro. But that was a long time ago, and I thought the "feature" was removed because I haven't ever experienced it recently.

HTC Home Screen after WakeUp

Heys guys,
have a question.
I hope someone of you have a hint for me.
When i power on / wake up (from standby) my HD it switches directly to the HTC Home Screen. I prefer wake up to last screen i was before.
Is that possible?
Thank you for all your hints.

I have the same issue, any ideas?

Which rom? How long is it in standby?

BLAC|6.5|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM HD (21812) ★ || Build date 2009/6/20
anything between 1 and 15 min - it doesn't look like it makes a difference.
think its the ROM? hope not - digging it

Hi guys,
thanks for responding.
I'm running the Dutty Extreme Rom at the moment.
And there is no time delay... when i switch the HD into Standby and next second i wake it up .... Home Screen...

I am using Black Perl v3 and none of this happens. The device wakes up on the screen it went to sleep. Maybe you should try and ask the people with the same ROM as yours (the specific ROM thread is my best bet) and see if it is ROM related and if it is not... i don't know... maybe it is the screen locking application (if you use any - I am with LockMeLite 1.3 and it doesn't cause this) or some tweaks you made... If it is not a problem for someone with this strange issue to make a hard reset and install all applications he has installed now and see which one causes it.

I'm using the EnergyROM and it doesn't happen? Strange I admit I only tried after a few minutes but If I have something open like explorer its still there when I turn it back on.

good morning....
thank you all for your response.
So, i think it is my ROM i use.
I will try anotherone.
Thank you all !!!!

hello,
yesterday i switched from DuttyExtreme to EnergyRom.
Works fine. WakeUp to my last used screen.
So it must be the settings from ExtremeRom.
Once again, thank you all.

Well that is strange as I have had only had NRGRom.
Any idea if there is a reg setting for this? Actually, @tkolev - I will try a hard reset, was hoping to avoid.

Are you using an auto lock or locking it each time before this wakeup? If you are then that is the source of your problem

My device locks itselfs after 30 mins.
It 's an exchange server setting of our company.
But EnergyRom works also after device locked.
Dutty Extreme not.

I am facing this only when battery is bellow 15%. If this is the case then just charge it before it goes to 15%.
If that's not the case then you can try installl MAGLDR v1.3
Do you have this issue in Froyo or Gingerbread ROMs? or in both? What version of CWM are you using?

I have the same problem on MIUI since after approximately 1.3.18 (cutover from Froyo to Gingerbread). Also have this problem on CME DHD2 Compact.
It is also an issue if someone tries to call me.
Sometimes, if I try waking the phone from sleep (power button) and it hits the black screen, and I wait long enough, it will wake. But again, the only real fix I know is pulling the battery.
I am running MAGLDR 1.13
Also, another fix that works sometimes is plugging in the phone into a power source e.g. laptop USB port

It's something about light sensor, when you put your screen into a strong light it would be turn "unblack" again. I don't know how to fix it, is this a problem with this hardware because it's broken or my version of LEO doesn't support NAND full functionaly.
Begging for answer!
i know about my poor english

I have this problem too.. running latest Hyperdroid rom by pongster (magdlr version) and it's driving me crazy. Sometimes phone wakes up normally after a call like it shoud, sometimes is stuck with black screen for few minutes, hours even (although i can't wait that long so i pull out battery)..
Back on WinMo everything worked normally, so it's not an hardware issue with proximity/light/whatever sensors
Is there any fix out yet? I googled and searched this forum a lot and haven't found nothing much helpful, ony a couple of threads with bunch of people with same problem like me. An option for disableing those sensors would be just as good, i've tried few apps for keeping the screen awake and none of them actually worked..
Any help is appreciated.. thanks in advance.

Bump!
Anyone? :/

I have the same issue - running Gingerbread, MAGLDR 1.13
Very annoying cause everything else works super.
Temporary solution i use is to use headset / handsfree. Then there is no problem.
So experts on XDA, we are begging for a fix for this!

I have the same issue since first Android roms and never found a real solution for the problem.
Instead i found a bypass that works for me reasonably well (99% of the cases the screen turns on after a call).
I installed the following 2 applications that wakes up my screen after the call (install then enable each one):
1. Screebl - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keyes.screebl.lite
2. Modified version of SpeakerShake - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=449922&d=1290758421
I suspect this issue is somehow related to hardware failure in light sensor. Installing these programs solve this problem for me.
Also take a look on the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835127

I have had the same thing happen to me but only around 2 or 3 times in a about 3 months of usage. Had it on both CM7 and MIUI Gingerbread ROMs regardless of battery percentage.
MAGLDR 1.13

Some users experience this using SetCPU
if you have a profile for screenoff and it's set to the lowest frequency, try to set the frequency to something above 500 MHz.
If you have smartass set as governor, then even setting the frequency to it's highest (without OC) during screenoff wouldn't change anything in battery performance, but the device will wake up faster.

Your setup works for me as well - until we`ll see a fix for it this will do

Incearca Sanity app, cauta pe Market, mie aceste doua nu mo ajutat

with me is so but only if I navigation (Navigon) and to have someone call me and then left the screen black and I can not make

try to change the kernel. that works for me

hey guys! i found the solution goin through the market!
download an app called "Sanity" theres a free version in the regular android market.
go to the settings > general > check "Reverse Proximity" (This will give you some warning about not using it if you DONT have a buggy proximity sensor). Check it anyways. Then go back to preferences then click "Proximity" scroll down and uncheck Turn off screen and leave leave the Turn on screen checked. this will force your phone to stay on during calls so that it never has to go through the proximity phase of calls this no more black screens. Hope this was helpful ^_^

Thanks!
I had this problem aswell. MIUI & Cyanogen mod were the ROMs I was using, and this problem started occuring after a few months use (my screen is also damaged from a fall, so maybe the sensors are a little damaged as well).
When I installed the WinMo 6.5 stock ROM again, everything was normal, except that my screen still turns black during calls BUT I can activate it again by pressing the power button.
Now I installed android again and the Screebl app (enabled it) and I have the same functionality! The only problem that remains is that my screen still turns black during calls, so I have to answer with the phone button and putt down phone with the power button. Still beats having to remove the battery though .
If someone has a fix for the black screen, it would be more than welcome!
But, thanks a million for the Screebl app tip! I can use my phone again .

I also try with WinMobile and the problem was still there ...
I think the sensor is broken ....
I will bring my phone to service ... and when i take it back I will tell you whether it is repaired

Solution
I had the same problem with Android roms on my HD2. I saw in an other thread a member (z-o-r-r-o-, thanks btw) wrote "just clean dust on the screen, where sensor is situated". This looked like a joke to me, but it's not. On a review of the phone I found the place of the proximity sensor. This is on the top of your screen next to the speaker, on the left if you look at the screen. I just took off the protection layer of the screen and cleand the sensor and the problem was solved. So I cut of a bit from the protection layer so that the sensors arn't touched by anything.
I think the problem is that this sensor is much more sensitive with android roms.
Hope this works for you to.

[Q] How to dim hardware button lights when screen locked

I've been using the Yuki Back to the Future 2.1 rom now for a couple of days, and I am really impressed! The only thing that still annoys me, how can the lights of the hardware buttons be dimmed when the screen is turned off? I have updated to the latest WM7 and applied the SP1 service pack. It isn't much of a problem, but I can imagine it takes some energy, especially at night.
I tried to search as best as I could but I couldn't find an answer, I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance!
