Hi all,
My Mogul turned on by itself at different time, even though I put it on standby/sleep mode. I.e. press the ON/OFF button, but NOT HOLDING that button to turn it off.
I have some Today's plug-in, like Spb Plus, PhoneAlarm, etc. These are also installed in my Hermes (Cingular 8525), also running WM6 and didn't cause any problem like the Mogul. So I am sure it's not the apps.
I have email pull every 15 and 30 minutes.
Any ideas?

Hi everybody!,
I'm really pleased with my new magician, but I have a little problem.
When I push the on/off button to switch the screen off (the phone is still on), and I want to switch it on again, the screen has the bright level at its minimum, so I can't see anything, and I have to go settings to raise the bright again.
Any known solution?
thanks,
Pau
Hi Pau,
When you press the power short your magician will go in standby. Press power long to dimm the screen, press it long again to switch to normal brightness. You can switch off the phone function by putting it into flight-mode. That's why the phone profile apps are popular.
A PocketPC can't be switched of complete. You would turn of all PDA functions as well, so no reminders etc. Not exactly what you expect from a PDA.
Hope this helps you. When your problem with the brightness persists, then try a hard-reset (press power & soft-reset at same time), don't forget to backup first with Sprite (trial available) or simular, xbackup can give you problems restoring contacts&appointments.
Still problems? Go back to where you bought it & get another one.

Thank you very much, it works the way you explain !!!!
thanks
You're welcome, these simple things are questioning all new users, including myself .

this helped me realise that there is no real SHUTDOWN option on the phone Till now i thought my phone was messed up
Damn for 3 days i was reading the whole Manual, and thought i cnat switch it off, there is phone porblem why the hell they indicate in Manual press more then 2 sec and it trurns it off. Now I know why lol :lol:
Btw which application can turn it off with one click on today screen without going in to flight mode etc ?
Thanks
You can use VJEschaton for it, SPB Pocket Plus etc etc. They all can suspend or switch off the screen with a single click on the today screen.

Thaks for the reply I dont see Turn off in Pocket plus, I oly have Suspend and Sof Reset, where is that item ?
Skyward what do psShutXp do ? as i dont want to install thoussand of applications as I already have pocket plus installed
Thanks
There's no 'off' regarding your device. Suspend is the same as pressing the power button. I always use the 'screen toggle' option from spb (located in system like the suspend & soft reset option)
Cheers, M
I have a cingular 8125 (wizard), flashed with 2.16.9.1. Since the update i've been VERY happy with performance, except ofcourse, with the fact that if i open (or close) the keyboard, and the screen goes from landscape to normal (and vice versa), I have about 2 seconds after I hit any button and get a reaction.
As an example, if I turn the phone on in normal mode, then open up the keyboard (screen flips), and hit the 'contacts' button, it takes ~2 seconds before my contacts come up.
is this just the way the device is? I can't remember how it used to be with the regular rom, since i flashed it the day i got it...
I have a qtek 9100 comes up straight away. Have you tried registry wizard it increases performance inc in keyboard mode.
I have a Cingular 8125, with the 2.17 ROM, and here is my problem.
Whenever I hit the power button to turn the screen off it goes off. Then, when I hit it again to turn the backlight back on, and my screen stays dark. I can access the menus and such, but I have to do it while the backlight is off.
I have Handmark Pocket Express and SPB Pocket Plus on it, if that makes a difference.
Has anyone had this problem, and does anyone know how to fix it?
That is a known poroblem with Pocket Plus. I had that happen, and was able to navigate to the backliht section in settings to turn the light back on. I removed the backlight slider from the today screen also. This only seems to happen once after installing pocket plus. After I turned the backlight back on insettings, it never happened again.
That stinks, because I turned it on and it still did it. Every time.
i also have this problem, but i don't have spb pocket plus, i have spb backup
I have the same Problem, Backlight not coming up. It's a bit different though, When the phone is only a short time off the USB cable, the light comes up normally. When the phone is disconnected longer, like 20-30 mins, it doesn't come back up. I can go to the Settings screen and switch it on there (the dial is all the way to the left when I go there), but next time it's the same.
I also have SPB Backup installed, but I think it's more likely to be PocketPhoneZen, which I also installed yesterday, and that was when the problem started. Guess I'll post something in their forum too...

My phone is always waking up for odd reasons (AVRCP commands, switching in and out of roaming, etc...), and I can't seem to get the darned thing to stay OFF.
Music A2DP streaming is the biggest deal to me, because not only will the device wake up when I press a remote command (on my AVRCP headset), it will also keep the device backlight on indefinitely. This is clearly shortening my battery.
I tried Slide2Unlock, and have it set to shut off the display if no activity for 5 sec., but the problem is that Slide2Unlock appears to not notice when it is woken up, and just sits there without turning the screen back off again! (a simple screen press brings Slide2U back to life, and then it will toggle the screen... but this defeats the purpose!)
There must be SOMETHING I'm missing here... doesn't anyone else have this problem???
I have 2 things for you. The first, is if you're using WM6 that's a known issue and unchecking the today timeout in start-->settings-->today-->items tab should solve most of your problems. The second is a little program that I found (not sure where at , but it might have been on here) called screen off. Install it and then set it to a hardware button and it will allow you to turn just your screen off whenever you don't need it on.
Maybe it depends on the player you're using? With Coreplayer, my phone's screen just flashes on and off quickly when it receives an AVRCP command.
Still doesn't explain the roaming thing though.

Yes, I'm using WM6 on a HTC Titan (Sprint Mogul).
I don't currently timeout to the today screen, but I don't see how that would cause my problem really- I've heard people mention that before, so can anyone explain what difference that would make?
I already have a shortcut to screen toggle (wrote my own MortScript to do it). That's not a problem anyway since every media player can assign a button to toggle the screen- The problem is that it keeps turning the screen back on when a button is pressed no matter how many times I toggle!!
Plastriq, I've heard that coreplayer does that... that's how they deal with this problem. They're the only ones that have addressed it as far as I know, and I'm not about to pay for their app when I already have TCPMP and WMP for free.
I just can't believe that there haven't been more practical ways around this yet!
I am on rom 1.19 WWE
Whenever I start a phone call, the screen blanks (becomes black) but the phone call can continue. I have to press the power button twice to "resuscitate" my device.
Is this normal? If not are there any steps to solve it?
Of course I set the power settings to keep the device ON at least for 5 minutes both on batteries and on charger.
Backlight question:
I cannot see the backlight settings, which in my former device (kaiser) where under power settings area. Is this normal?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo866
it's normal. with the screen blacked-out (off) you won't accidentally launch a program
dear Cortez
Thanks for your message
1.
But why this (screen blanking) never happened on my former Kaiser, Athena, Dopod, Tytn, etc?
2.
Is it possible to cancel this function? In fact I wish to monitor the call details, timing, or even do some other actions, while calling, like activate conference mode, etc.
How to disable this so-called "proximity-feature" ?
Thanks
Saulo866
Ehm push the on/off button. There is also a tweak for it. Use search or read the topics here
