Well in several ROMs the device turned off after several seconds, and until I push the turn on/off button it will not respond to other buttons (e.g. send), the device is not locked.
In other ROMS when the device is turned off, every button are active.
Is there a way to make the buttons not active when the device is turned off ?
Just go to "start / settings / system / Key Lock" for locking options.

Other option is to edit registry.
Got to HKCU > ControlPanel > Keybd and set DefaultKeyLock to '1'
Perform soft reset and problem should be gone.
Thank you both, it was very easy....

Even when I untick 'On Battery power Turn off baclight if device is not used for ... Time', my Jasjar baclight goes off in 2 minutes. And, if I set this to 5 minutes still my Jasjar backlight goes off in 2 minutes. Also, when I choose to 'turn on backlight when a button is pressed or the screen is tapped, it doesnot turn on any button or screen tap. I can turn it on by power button or Call reject red button. Any registry hacks/ Am I missing something? I would like my backlight always on untill I press power button. Also is there any hack to turn on power/ backlight automatically when I open the lid?

Maybe a soft reset (fixes lots of weird problems like this). Cheers,
yeah and if soft reset doesnt help, do backup, sync with PC and do hard reset.
Under my original rom I could push the power button and the phone would go into standby (screen off, buttons dead) and then push the same button and it would wake up. I just installed Open Touch 2.2.1, and now when I go into standby, when I wake it up, I have to go thru an unlock process. How can I disable the unlock process, I've checked under keylock and lock and neither of these have settings that apply. Thanks.
you should ask this in "Open touch" thread. perhaps there is s2U2 installed - a programm that is for locking and unlocking...
you ahve to ask there how to disable this program

Downloaded and installed the Shut Down Cab on my Wing. The three options are:
1. Light Off
2. Shut Down (Does not Power Off, only turns off screen?)
3. Soft Reset
My question is: Should Shut Down turn the Power Off? If not, what is the purpose of this compare to Light Off?
Thanks
Press any key if you press Lights off. You'll see that your phone is still on but just with the lights off.
Shutdown is like when you press your power button on the top.
Soft reset, well... speaks for itself.

Thank you. Apparently Shutdown and Lights off do the same thing for me as I can touch any key after using either one and the phone works as if it were Lights off.
Maybe I don't see the purpose of them as being separate functions.
Check "keyboard lock" (more or less.. my wing rom is in spanish) under configuration - system and make sure it's set to "block all buttons except power button" if not, every button will power on your device after shutdown, making it look like turning the lights on.
Hope works for you.

Yes, that is correct. That is why I said that both options are doing the same thing. I would have thought that one would Power Off.
Again, thank you for your input. I do appreciate it.
Hi,
Sometimes when I need to turn it on by pushing the on/off switch, it started to perform soft reset! I also found out that when my D810 going to sleep (in my words), all keys but the on/off switch were dead even the phone. I tried to call myself using another telephone, the D810 was off!
Is there any idea? Or any advice?
firstly, have you ever dropped your d810 ?? or maybe 'accidentally' flush in on water...
if you don't, then
1. for auto reset power button : consider to check the 'shortcut button' on Start -> Settings -> Buttons, check on there, if you assign power button to 'Soft Reset'
2. for 'dead key' : check on Start -> Settings -> Key Lock, check on there, if you Set option into Lock button if device is locked, and change it into Lock All Button Except Power Button
for the third problem, have you ever try your sim card into another gsm phone ?? and call it again ??
ps : some dumb question...you sure it's not on flight mode ??

Nowaday my D810 became normal, it seems ok, thx anyway!
Hi,
I've read on here that you can do a soft reset without taking cover off and pressing the actual reset button, but I can't find it again. I've looked on hints and tips, wiki, and searched. Can anyone help please?
Cheers
You'll be needing the TouchX Reset & Wifi shortcuts then
You can get them off this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4947950&postcount=1
It creates 2 shortcuts in your start menu. 1 for resetting, and 1 for toggling wifi. You can then add to your quicklinks, if you so wish.
Hope this helps
You could always switch off + switch on but johncmolyneux suggested works as well, although I used a cab so as when I push the switch off button, I get a new menu with various options, including soft reset.
Forgot which one it is though
Snerkler,
Some good suggestions here. Be aware that these will only work if the device is NOT in the grip of death, as I call it.
If it has died then there's no option but to take the back off and either press the little red button or take the battery out.

The 'out of the box' method, without resorting to additional applications is to press and hold the Power key for 3 seconds.
This opens up a context menu which includes 'Power Off'. This is a full 'power off' state with all background processes stopped. Pressing the power button again restarts the phone as in a soft reset.

So turning the phone off and on again is a soft reset???? If that's the case why are there cabs for soft reset, seems a bit strange to me. Wish I'd known that before when installing some of the cabs and taking the back cover off to press the reset button

I know what you mean about the "grip of death" lol. Been there already.
Turning the phone fully off then on again is the same as a soft reset. A simple on/off isn't.
If the device goes through the splash screens on restarting (as after the power button 'hold' switch off) that is a soft reset.
I use a stand alone program called psShutXP which is available on This Page - download the VGA version. It runs as a small Screen Off/Suspend/Power Off utility.

I'm not sure what you mean by fully off, and simple on/off. Are you referring to power off, and sleep? In which case I was referring to power off, ie hold power button and then select power off

Sorry - could you explain that please? Is there a difference between turning the phone off, and "fully" off?? I assume you're not refering to simply switching off the display when you say a "simple on/off", as that's not off at all.
You've lost me there mate.
There are 3 or 4 suspend states- sorry, but I can't remember what all 4 are
There is 'screen off' which simply turns off the screen but keeps all currently active programs running. This is only available by using a 'Display Off' or 'Screen Off' switch such as the 'Toggle Screen' option in Media Player. WFi and GPS remain active in this state.
The next is 'Suspend' by pressing the power button. This turns off the screen and some functions such as WiFi and GPS and some media players also stop working but the phone remains responsive and timed notifications will still work.
Next is the 'full power off' I mentioned which you get by pressing and holding the power button. This turns off all functions, phone features and stops all notifications working.
That's what I was clumsily trying to say when I mentioned that a 'full power off' has the same effect as a soft reset- as opposed to a 'screen off' or 'suspend'.
[Edit: Having tried this a little more, it may be that the HD2 doesn't differentiate between states 1 and 2 ?. Due to the lack of hardware button configuration, Media Player's Screen Toggle can't be assigned to a button. psShutXP's Display Off button works, but on turning on again, the lock screen starts, which shouldn't happed with a simple display switch. ]

OK, thanks for the explanation
