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...

This app - run on your prophet, and all is back to normal. Keep a copy on your SD card...

didn't help
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.

New Screen Problem/Error

Hi
I've had my Wizard/Vario for about 5 months-ish maybe less.
I have the latest QTek software:
IPL 2.17
SPL 2.17
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.17.7.2
The problem I have is when I recieve a text message the screen goes white with some black lines alone the side - I use the power button to turn off the screen and then power it power on (not a soft reset) it clears - this happens when browsing contacts and receiving texts
Does anyone have this problem?
I can provide a screenshot if you need me too.
Thanks
Adam.

any solutions on this problem?

M3100 button+Dpad combo not working in games, screen becomes washed out at times.

Hi Guys,
I am having a couple of issues with my M3100 Hermes100 device. I searched the forum but didn't find anything on these two:
1. When pressing the D-pad (left, right) in games, any other key won't be read as still being pressed.
Ex: I start K-Rally, push hardware1 button for acceleration, and at the first press of D-pad left or right, the car stops (as the acceleration would have been released) and I have to release and press HW1 again to accelerate. It's like after I press D-pad the HW1 is not pressed any more.
I tried the default configuration first, and then I reconfigured the acceleration to each button, one at a time. Combined with D-pad for steering, it always happens like above .
- this happens in other games too (GTS Racing, Hellfire)
- this does not happen if I use the directional keys on the hardware keyboard (which are also read as 'left' and 'right' by the games).
- this does not happen if, in K-Rally for example, I use the 'auto acceleration' option (so the car accelerates by itself, no keypress needed).
2. Rarely (let's say, once per week) the screen suddenly becomes washed out (almost white), with a few garbled lines over its normal content, which is barely visible.
I tried to take a few pics of the screen but the contrast is so low that I've got just a white / grey screen in the pics.
The phone continues to react normally to keypresses.
The issue does not disappear if I extend/fold the keyboard. But it is solved by a suspend/wake up cycle, so there's no need for even a soft reset.
As the issue rarely appears, I couldn't figure out (yet) if it could be caused by any software operation or by a keyboard flip or other movement.
Device details:
S/N HT646
WM 5.1.195 Build 14955.2.3.0 (AKU 2.3)
Operator version: 14.123.10.702
ROM version: 1.23.70.2
Radio version: 1.06.04.00
I had PQZii and AEButton 2.5 installed and then uninstalled, still having same issues.
Please let me know if you experienced something like above, and how / if you solved these.

I just found a few reports on the D-pad issue, no solution though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275710 (not exactly, but close)
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/08/27/orange_spv_m3100_bug_identified

I can see now that the TyTN D-pad issue is quite old and was previously reported in a couple of different bug lists.
This is a pity as some games would be unplayable .
If anyone finds a solution / fix for this, please post it here too. Thanks!

Switch Off button doesn't react... Bug or HW issue??

Hi guys,
Since few days, the 'switch off' button (bottom right) of my HD2 doesn't react anymore.
I was thinking it was a HW issue, but few things make me think it is a bug :
- all the other keys are working fine
- if I restart the phone, before Manila loads, I see the 'lock-switch off-...' choice screen appearing so seems like the physical part is working
- I see reaction on the backlight (off-on) for the buttons when I press it
Did anybody face that issue?
Just wondering if I should do a Factory Restart, but as it 's a bit of a pain in...
ROM : 1.66.406.1 FRE
Manila : 2.5.19211619.0

HW issue... :-(

would you mind elaborating more? it's the first time I read about single buttons not working on these fora... how did you discover it's certainly a hw issue?

If you think its a software issue, do a hard reset.

hd2 freezes randomly with cht

I got my HD2 in hong kong:
manila:1.0.19211620.0
rom:1.72.831.1 (82124) WWE
OS: 5.2.21869 (2.1869.5.0.082)
so after installing the cab i noticed that everytime i tried to put the music player on the first homepage above the main page, i would encounter a manila problem and then the top left of my screeen would be replaced by a white box. thereafter, the music player and white box would be stuck on the screen even if i change homepage tabs.
but my main problem is that the phone will always freeze very frequently. It happens a lot after i lock my screen. I will press a hardware button and the buttons will light up but the screen will take a while to turn on (if it even ends up turning on). And even if it does, all i see sometimes is the notification bar at the top of the screen where the battery, reception and wifi info is. Sometimes i can click the start menu key or the screen key and access the start menu but not always.
another problem is that somtimes when pressing a key after hte phone has been locked and screen turned off, it will reappear at the last screen i was after before locking the phone. it may then suddenly go to the lock screen, or just freeze there.
another problem i have is that after soft resetting, it takes a REALLY long time to "load htc sense". sometimes the text telling me its loading will disappear for seconds and reappear. i have had a point where sense just refused to load so i had to reinstall the cab. luckily for me at the time i was still able to access the start menu.
also, sometimes when i'm just using my phone in general, the screen will freeze and then the phone will go back to the "loading htc sense" page. For the most part, htc sense does load in this situation
now the phone runs very slowly and glitches between previously viewed pages. the camcorder barely runs..
it seems that many things trigger the phone to freeze but its always the same things that do.
i would appreciate any help from the developers or anything with experiences that are like mine.
i know my manila version is off but i asked someone in a different thread and he said that my manila version should be compatable.. if it is not, i guess i have no choice but to uninstall it.. shame
if so, could someone tell me how to uninstall? thanks
