Im currently using the imate rom 2.16.9.1.wwe Rom date 2/6/06 extrom version 0 2.16.9.101
It has been working fine for the past few weeks and the performane increase has been much better. I was also using the oush mail which also worked well. Then a few days ago I started to have a few problems with the phone, basically it would look as if it was working the lights flashing, however when I went to turn it on it wouldn’t turn on. The only way to resolve this si to soft reset the handset. This problem is now occuring on average 2 times a day! I havent even installed any new software!! Thwe only major incident before this started happening was I used skype twice! But havent used it since! I have also stopped push mail cause I thought this maybe the issue but it didn’t solve it!
Its so annoying cause I think the device is operating normally cause I see the flashing lights however it cant do anything cause it has frozen!
Any ideas???
I was thinking of going for a hard reset but if I restore my backup ive taken with spb will this not just reintroduce the problem?
just to add for further info i have no apps running and the
program memory is total - 44.01mb
in use 19.67mb and Free 24.34
thats after a soft reboot!!
This might be a really silly suggestion, so appologies if it is, but could it be just the backlight turned off for some reason so it looks like the device is off when it is actually on?
No, I don't think that it is the backlight as I am also now experiencing this same problem ... approx 1 - 2 time daily. You think that the phone is functioning until you try to use it. Only option is soft reset.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
no at present a soft reset is the only cure and even then it may occur again later on! Bluey HK are you using the same rom as me??? the imate one?
its done it twice already today and its only midday! the last time i was just browsing the web, closed the browser, then switched it off and then couldnt turn it back on! Do you think it may be a memory leakage issue????
This happened to me yesterday on my T-Mobile MDA. I am running the latest T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2210401_221_20710_ENG_US image from xelencin.
What appears to have triggered the problem for me was attempting to connect to T-Mobile's My Email app to download mailbox settings while the signal level is too low or intermittent (Wi-fi and Bluetooth were disabled).
The backlight would not turn on and I could observe the My Email app trying to access the server.
it sounds as though it may be a bug connected with a GPRS connection???
ahh its done it again, this time i wasnt doing anything just died! I think i am gonnna have to do a hard reset cause this is making the phone unuseable!
if i do a hard reset and then install a back up is there a high possibility that this will reintroduce the bug???
its not the backlight
my 8125 is having the same damn problem. its nto a backlight issue, as it just stalls, and the past 4 times its done it, i've just removed the battery and turned it back on as a soft reset wont work, and i can't it to react to any commands. this is either a software issue all our phones are dying. i was having this problem with summitter's previous 2.17 rom, then updated to the recent 2.17.11 aku 2.2 rom... thinking the upgraded rom is what it needed...NOPE... still crashed. almost all instances i believe are when the wifi connection was active. but i could be making that up, i'm positive on 3 occasions it was with a wifi connection active. but not too sure about the 4th.
this is making me insane, and we need to figure out whats up~!
to expound on the problem:
one time i was in the middle of checking voicemail, then tried to delete, but the screen wouldn't light up, and it wasn't responding to my option 7 to delete command. the other time was in the middle of a phone call. something's up....
i am having the same issue with my 9100, its running the latest offical rom, mine does it whenever it feels i dont believe it is wifi or gprs related as i have the problem at time when i have been using neither.
there does not appear to be a link to any software i am using either
any ideas?.
yea- i get the same sometimes, i go to take my phone out of standby and it wont do anything, the power button doesnt work- the light just flashes. sometimes it freezes on the today screen, the power button dont work or anything. really need to sort this!
any ideas? any1 else get this? its where u put ur MDA in standby, and next time u press power button 2 turn on nufin happens, but the leds still flash at the top!
yep i still get the problem! still no cure!
I have exactly the same problem... I just pick up my device from my pocket to use it, I press on the power button once but the device won't wake up from the standby mode. I wish someone can give us a cure.
Low Battery...
I had this happen to me once recently...for me it was becuase my battery was too low. Freaked me out, because everything looked good, but I would power on and get nothing! Right after it started it powered on for a sec then quit. I had to put it on the charger and leave it for a couple hours to get a good solid charge, then everything was fine. Hope this helps....
thanks for the response, unfortunately mine is definately not related to the battery charge!
mine hasnt done it in the last day, ive been leaving it a while before putting it into standby. i used to exit my app (messaging or whatever) and shut it off straightaway, but i give it a sec or 2 to make sure its all good
and its doin ok so far!
Hi,
I have run into a problem half a dozen times now when I turn on the phone and the backlight isn't working and pressing the backlight button doesn't make a difference.
When I check the settings the backlight levels have been set to Zero.
I haven't yet had a chance to track down why it is happening, but was wondering if anyone else had come across the problem.
Hello there!
Been lurking for a bit but finally decided to join in.
Not got much to add really as I am still learning about the device, however I am suffering the same problem. Happened quite a few times now and I can't discern a pattern.
Any geniuses got any ideas?
Great forum by the way. Learnt lots already.

All I can tell you is yes, it's happened to me before. Almost gave me a heart-attack, because I though the machine was failing - the light just switch off on its own accord while I was reading an e-book at night.
Still no idea why.
I have been suffering the same problem since the rom update. It seems to happen mostly if I have some program active in the background when the device powers itself down from idle or the clamshell is closed.
For me, holding the power button down for a few seconds seems to take it back to the defined level setting.
Clueless as to why it happens though.
Well, I'm not alone
This has just started happening to me, too.
I usually have to do a soft reset to be able to get the backlight back on. Once it's back up and running, I go into my settings and find nothing has changed since I set the backlight timers for both battery power and external power. I've even got it set to turn the backlight back on when pushing a button or tapping the screen -- and yet, when I do that, nothing happens. I've tried holding the power button down for a few seconds, but all that does is give me a soft reset.
I've been running the AKU2.3 ROM for about a week, and this problem started occurring yesterday on my Cingular 8125. I'd sure like to know what's causing it and how to fix it.
I first experienced this problem when I last installed TouchIt 3.01.
When I slide out the keyboard on my X1, the screen semms to freeze. Nothing happens. The screen stays in portrait mode and does not accept any input on it. When I close my phone i can interact with it without any problems.
I installed the Stock Rom, but still the same.
Anyone has an idea how to solve this?
If it happens on multiple ROMs, including stock, I'd almost think there's a hardware problem. Try hard resetting - if it keeps happening, have your unit checked.
This was my guess too but I hoped someone had a solution without sending the device back to SE.
Hey guys, I got my Nexus 4 about 2 weeks ago. Love the device, and haven't had any problems until recently. I set alarms to wake myself up in the morning. When it comes time for the alarm to go off, the device fails to ring, and when I attempt to turn it on, it fails to work. I have to hard reset it in order for it to turn back on. Do keep in mind, that I use multiple alarms, so the device's screen is always off when this happens. I also have installed JuiceDefender, and I think that might be a possible cause for this crash (I will have to do some trials). I did a search on the forums, and haven't quite found anything specifically related to this, just yet. I've read some things about wake locks, but I don't really know much about them.
Is anybody else experience this issue? I am on 4.2.1 stock everything. I have JuiceDefender Ultimate, and I believe it may be a source for the issue. But I will have to test further. Any ideas?
Thanks, in advance!
Hello folks, I'm having annoying issue with the screen so wondering if anyone can try to help me or has encountered similar issue.
The issue is that the screen wakes up randomly without touching it, as the power button was pressed (without notification). This started after updating to april rom.
Here is what I have done so far: turning off/on ambient display, turning off/on adaptive brightness, remove sd card/sim card, returning to march update doesn't resolve this, factory reset, flashing the latest stock 8.1 beta rom...
Interesting thing is that the issue is NOT happening when booted to safe mod, which makes me believe that this isn't hardware failure ? Or am I wrong ? Anyone with an idea how can I try to resolve this ?
Application can cause wakelocks - wake phone's CPU to do its work or just turn on screen. Especially 3rd party apps from Google Play cause this, maybe there is an app causing your phone to turn on. Use BetterBatteryStats (with ADB commands) to see which apps wake your phone.
