hi all genius'
Why do my hard buttons keep flashing? When the screen is on they flash on and off every second and when screen os off it's a slower flash.
getting rather annoying now!
is there something i can use to turn them off?

My problem is that my screen goes flashing off and on when i want to toggle the screen off by some program..(windows media player for example).. when i press the key mapped to toggle the screen the screen keep turning on and off on very speedy.. i keep pressing the key for "?" times till it completely off.. the ? is not a fixed number.. it's sometimes 3 or 4 or 5 or 10 or maybe more...
it's very annoying.. do you know anything i can do that will avoid me a hard reset??
Best Regards
i did a hard reset and got the same problem.. though i didnt have this problem earlier..
what do you think??
Perhaps a work around for your problem is to download and install one of the freeware applications that you allow you to use a software control to turn the screen display of without turning the PPC off?
I did that and it works just fine..
but that's really strange.. i thought it wont work..
well this workaround is enough but i really want to know what happened to my screen..
Hi everyone, I recently switched from HTC Touch to X1 and something has changed that I do not really like or at least I'm not used to this now and would like to have it in the same old way. I have WinMob 6.5 but this should not have anything to do with this effect.
Normally I use the stylus to press the touchscreen and immediately the device reacts, but now with X1 the device does nothing after first stylus press, and after a second pressing the device reacts as it should.this sometimes is annoying.
Maybe I also should say that this of course only happens when when backlight dims down. by first pressing backlight recovers and a second pressing make the device react. how to change this to direclty reacting after pressing in backlight-dim mode?
Thanks for feedback

This is something I LOVE about it! It really stops any unintentional presses!

Its not a bug, its a feature. And i like it....
Turn backlight dimming off, so that your x1 turns off after some time without to dim. Then you won't have the problem.
Dear Jordan, did your device react instantly even when the backlight was dimmed? I'd like this feature. Please tell me.
I have had the Touch 3G for nearly a year now and for the last 3 months I have had this recurring problem which is fixed with a hard reset but will recur again after about 6 weeks. The symptoms are:
1. When turning on, the backlight dims just before the HTC flash screen and startup sound (when it says "Smart Mobility")
2. Touching the screen doesn't bring the backlight back on.
3. Pressing the power button doesn't turn the screen off from this dimmed state, but after pressing touching the screen will turn the backlight back on.
4. Pressing the power button again will now turn off the screen, but pressing it again won't turn the screen back on! If I call it from another phone, the vibrator goes on but it doesn't ring, the screen stays off and you can't answer the call. If you hang up on the other phone it keeps vibrating and you need to do a soft reset to stop it.
If I do a hard reset the symptoms are gone and reinstalling the exact same software doesn't cause the problems immediately but withing a month or so it happens again. All I did just prior to these problems was use TomTom a bit more than usual, but otherwise nothing different. I have used TaskManager to see if there is anything weird running in the background but it all looks fine. I have had a cursory look through the registry but also can't find anything?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like it's going all haywire. If you've had it less than a year, I'd send it in real quick. Sounds more like a hardware problem.
I don't think it is hardware as a hard reset fixes it...it just recurs down the track. I have done a hardrest and reinstalled all my apps and it is working great again but I was wondering if I should be checking somewhere in the registry for an aberrant setting. I am u using a backup image program so at least when it happen again I an restore my system more simply.
But then again, all the symptoms you mentioned point to a hardware defect. You could try to find a tweak, but like all electronic devices, it's the luck of the draw. Try emailing HTC and see what they say.
After doing a hard reset on my perfectly-functioning Pro the other day, the screen and buttons have now stopped working. My question is two-fold:
1. What the heck is going on?
The phone worked fine until I did the hard reset. Now, when I do a hard reset, everything appears to work correctly through the screen-alignment. The screen responds properly at that stage. Immediately afterward, the normal Today screen pops up for a split second. After that, the "Treo Customization" screen comes up, and that's where it all goes to hell. After the "Treo Customization" runs its course, the phone says "tap screen to reset." After tapping the screen, the phone responds and resets itself.
After that, a blank today screen appears. The tool bar on top is there and the background is there, but that's it. The screen and buttons are unresponsive except to brighten the screen after it periodically dims. Several other functions continue to work. I can activate wifi via the side button. The top button turns off the screen. Strangely enough, the QWERTY keyboard is completely unresponsive, except that the search button works (alt button and magnifying glass).
Does this sound like a hardware problem? Could it be fixed with a flash and new rom?
2. I tried to flash the phone and install a new rom to see if that would help, but I was unsuccessful for the following reasons: 1) When I run PANTHER_CDMA_HSPL_V101, the bootloader screen appears, but immediately upon that occurring, my sync connection disappears, so I can't proceed through my computer. 2) I can't run the manual flash program (SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA) because I have no functioning controls on the phone itself.
Any ideas? Is there any way to achieve a flash on an unresponsive phone, or should I start shopping?
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I'm having something similar to black screen of death problem. When I turn on my phone, it's working until I lock it.
When I try to unlock it, my screen is black and only the buttons at the bottom and the notification LED is working.
I've tried pulling out the battery and the sd card and holding the power button for 1 minute, and many different variations of this method, but it didn't work.
I'm running on CM 13.0 but it happens on every ROM.
Please help :crying:
This happens on a the latest stock ROM too? If yes, sounds like a hardware problem.
