Backlight keeps turning off

I keep finding the backlight on my XDA II keeps turning itself off, I have to go to the backlight menu and I find the "on battery power" backlight setting is set to minimum. It does this randomly with a fully charged battery. Might have to buy a torch if it keeps this up!!! Any ideas?

I thought I had the same problem, but it turned out to be my own fault.
My XDA II would be off and I'd press the [Power] button, to turn it on ... no backlight. I discovered, quite by accident, that if you press and hold the power button, it in fact turns off the backlight.
So ... when turning it on, make sure you just press the [Power] button and DON'T linger.
HTH

ardarby is quite right. It's a great option once you know about it to save battery... I use it all the time now, when I'm outdoors if you push and hold in the power button it turns off the back light. If you want it back on just do the same.. Push and hold the power button...

Nice one!
Cheers! I was on the verge of a 20 minute wait to speak to Orange support, thinking I had a hardware fault!

I had the same thing when I had my XDAI. Strangely it seemed to happen every time my gf had been using it, and in the end I worked out she had assumed to turn it "off" it was the same as Nokia's where you have to hold the power button down.
Saved me a similar call to o2!

thanks for the hint, I had the same problem with my qtek 1010, that I got mad at my kids (poor kids) every time they used it I get it back with no back light. It is a bit different with the 1010, you press for power, and then you can toggle between back light on/off by a second long press on the power button.
Well, now I see no need to buy a new one :lol:

this forum is superb! My problem with backlight off solved again
Thanks all

Wired! Pwr Button became backlight switch on its own?

Hi all,
My uni's power button now acts really weird. sometimes when I press it, instead of suspend the device, it turns off the backlight, when I press it again, it turns the back light on again....
Now this is not always the case, if I press it multiple times, let's say I press it 10 times, 7 out of 10 it will switch the backlight and 3 out 10 it will power on and off as it supposed to.
Anybody has any clue what's going on here? I mean is it a software issue or hardware wear..?
Thanks Guys!

The power button will turn on/off the back light when it is held down for a second or two.
Sounds like your power button has got a bit sticky. If able, take Uni apart and clean it up a bit around the button.

very inspiring, will try that, report result later. 8)

[Q] How to disable Home button with Lollipop

Hi,
I'm looking for a solution to stop the phone from turning on the screen when the home button is pressed?
Many time I take it in my pocket I'm hitting that button and the screen is turning on.
I'd prefer that it only turn on when I click the power button.
I think I have to go in : "/system/usr/keylayout", but after I don't know what to do.
Any help or suggestions?
