A couple nights ago, just after I turned off the lights to go to sleep, the room was illuminated with this white light. Turns out my phone's flash was turned on somehow. I opened the camera app to see if the flash was on...it wasn't. When I turned it on, the light got much brighter. I shut the phone completely off and the flash light would still kind of blink then stay on. The light isn't as bright as it is when the actual flash is turned on in the camera app. I had to pull the battery completely to get it to shut off. The next morning I put the battery back in and instantly the flash light flickered and came back on. It seems like if I enable the flash in the camera app it will stay off for a while, but it seems to always come back on at some point. Anyone else with this problem? If not, I guess I can try a hard reset, followed by a return to cingular.
Flash light malfunction
Hi!
I have exactly the same problem and my xda mini s is just 1 week old!
Does anybody knows any reason for this behaviour?Or any solution?
I am afraid I have to return the device back to O2.-
Also I saw that I do not have any o2 stuff preinstalled on my mini s.I got it in germany a week back,is it normal that o2 has stopped delivering the o2 stuff in the latest versions.What I see is just the splash screen when the device starts up.
Any in info/advice would be v. obliging!
Regards,
Vineet
My 8125 start to do the same thing. Have you guys figured it out what's wrong and how to fix this?
I've tried soft-reset/hard-reset, loaded new ROM, took battery out and leave it for a while... but the problem is still there.
Retured the device
I returned the device and got a new one,now the problem is no more.
Guys if this behaviour exists on your device then its a malfunction in the device ..o2 guy confirmed this too me..Return this immediately!
Ahuja
that happened to my on my 8125 as well.
no way to stop it
no clue what was wrong
luckly i was within 30 days and i returned it.
Thank you!
Unfortunately, it's been more than 30 days since i got this phone. I guess i will have to call cingular and request a warranty exchange.

i am faced with the same issue too. hope someone is able to assist.
This sounds suspiciously like the DSOD problem that plagued the Sprint and Verizon 6700 Units. DSOD = Dark Screen of Death After much research the problem was found to be caused by the SD Card. More specifically having programs installed to the SD card, it seemed power managment was not properly implemented or something and often times when something was accessed on the SD card while the unit was in suspend it would exhibit the same symptoms you described.
There is a long forum post about it here.
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6700-xv6700/79197-regedit-i-have-made-make-6700-more-stable.html
my screen washes out white sometimes
Mine will turn the backlight off randomly when I start to enter a text message or an email... it turns back on after I press a button however.
DSOD? Yikes sounds terminal! As for the SD issue, the screen went dark after a hard reset / rom reflash with no sd or sim card in.
I'm going to send it back to HTC Europe, hopefully they'll swap it? Anyone had any experience with an RMA to these peeps?
Thanks
SOD and White Out Screen
Guys:
Let me share this with all. I got the white out screen of death on my TyTN about a month after I bought it. I would take the unit out of sleep, it would momentarily flash the good screen then fade to white, then black. I thought this was a software issue with something I had installed, so I re flashed the phone a couple of times and the problem persisted. This problem is an issue that needs repair, I'm afraid. I tried contacting HTC about this through their website and got no response. I guess they don't talk to peons like us. So, a week later, I contacted the place where I bought it in the USA, networkingrus.com, since it was still under warranty and they gladly issued an RMA...return merchandise authorization for repair. They said this was a common issue with many TyTNs and I was surprised at their high level of customer service with these guys in contrast with the ignoring I got from HTC directly. Once they received my phone here in the US, they forwarded it to the US agent/wholesaler who then sent it to HTC Europe in the UK for repair. The turn around time for my situation was about 6 weeks, but it was during the holidays, so figure normally it would take about 4 weeks before you get the phone back under normal conditions. They repaired it very well and it works flawlessly....however, they do flash the repaired phone with the oldest firmware HTC has, so you'll need to do a firmware upgrade for your area/country when you get the phone back from repair, as I did. That's my 2 cents on this issue. So, yes, it is a repair issue.
i have this problem when i open my keyboard and in the same time i play some file in media player. then when i want to write sms, document or something my screen blacks out when i stop typyng

Got the same issue, not resolved yet. It happens most of the time while I am typing on MSN over wifi. As MSN is yet quite buged he may be the culpit; I may try to investigate a little more this issue.
EDIT: In fact my screen does not turn completely black; it just loses the backlight.
I have kind of the same problem. A while after I've installed official WM6 only the backlight turned on when I woke the device from standby. And sometimes the hardware buttons stops working, when this happends the lights in the green and red call buttons are on, even when I set the telephone in standby. Sometimes when this happends the orange charging light also turns on, and I get a bright blue flash in the bluetooth light(much brighter than the actual bluetooth light).
I've tried to turn of the standby, now the device never get black screen(it seems that the black screen only happends when I wake the device from standby). But still the buttons locks up randomly during the day...
Now I've downgraded to official WM5. The telephone was ok for a while, but now it shows symptomes of the same problem.
Is this a hardware or software problem?
Anyone else have this problem?
Ok, it's tarted 2 days ago, suddenly my new exec screen going to blue (Like PC)??? just blue color (Sometimes white and black stripes) and hung, so I just restart it. But today, is terrible,its happend 6 times. Tonight the worst thing happend, blue screen come again but this time with soft reset, not help at all. Every time I soft reset the splash screen comes, and then that blue screen again. It happend about 5 times, the machine finally start but can't read my sd card and I try to do soft reset but screen goes and never come back. My exec didn't start at all. I tried to release the battery, leave for few minutes and put it back try to start it, nothing happend... now my exec has die.
Anyone please help me and advice please,
What I did just cook ext ROM (So it have autoconfig for my country's operator, and upgrade the radio to 1.14.10 from T-Mobile, like I did to my alpine but it have no problem until I sold it)
Whoa... help me bro...
Thanks in advanced
Finally it's start but never reach windows screen, the blue screen appears again.
And I remember, the strange thing, my IMEI that I read from device properties is: 355195002465655
But, the IMEI at back body,(Under the battery) : 355195000360361
Why?And what happen?
guess u have the same probs as some others

saw u r already i that post.......
OK, I've got the same problems as you did. I was so upset with the device that I hit it on my lap (with the battery clip side hitting my lap) and then put the battery back on. Then it turned on! So everytime I have this problem I just hit the battery clip side and it turns on like 70 percent of the time. I just realized the SD card is on that side...hmmm..must be something to do with SD. I'm pretty sure someday it would just stop working at all if I keep doing this.
I don't advise anyone doing this but so far it works for me. I still have problems waking it up though. I really think the mainboard is messed up so I'm trying to get a mainboard, even a broken miniusb mainboard just to test it out. I opened mine up to the last screw and no loose connections noted. So if anyone has a mainboard then can sell me PM me.
If you still have warranty on the device, I advise you to send it in for warranty repair. It seems to only get worst and not better. Goodluck, hopefully we can find a solution for this. If I do get a mainboard. I'll let you know if that fixed it.
Hmm, I've guess it, I think the pprob is mainboard. I'll send it for warranty, (But I bought it in other city not in my own city) So i'll have to send it then on friday this week i'll go to that store to check arround and maybe choose the best product. I'll give the update then.
Anyway someone can give a advice to choose the mainboard?
Thanks in advanced.
bump..we need help..Is it a mainboard or coaxial cable problem? Please advise..
OK, Problem found.. Thanks Corneluis...It is a problem with the voltage control on the mainboard! Anybody has a workaround for this?
SOLUTION FOUND!!! At least for my Jasjar. Thanks, cornelius about the info on faulty voltage control which causes the Bulverde CPU to hang and give funny lines and colors to the screen. The solution is to install Pocket Hack Master and disable the Device CPU scaling in settings and set the speed to 312mhz for standby and before you turn it off. Now you can always clock it to 520 when needed but before you turn it off or close the screen make sure the speed is only 312mhz.
This has worked for me for more than 24 hours without any sngle hang.
HI
wonder if anyone can help me.
Ive had a few problems with my phone ever since i stared to change the roms on it. Something i have just put up with as it goes with the flow. Anyway just recently my phone is really being a pain no matter what rom i have installed . It just turns off or freezes and has also now started to play silly games like all of a sudden everything starts opening on the phone, and sometimes the screen dimms to black then goes off and wont turn on unless i leave the battery out for a good five mins. anybody got any ideas about this all help would be welcomed.
JUst updated the Radio rom to the lastest one i could find on here seems to have helped a bit.
Andy
Have you disassembled it or got it wet? One of the hardware buttons may be stuck. Are they all working?
No all the buttons work ok mate. this evening ive tried a different rom and it seems to be ok ill run it for a few days see if it improves or goes back to being a pain.
I was wondering if it could be the battery its about 12 months old now (due an upgrade an dthinking of the diamond), Phone normally gets fully charged every couple of days.
Hello all,
I have been using a P3400i for about two and a half years and it has been an absolute faithful. Somewhere along the line a friend convinced me to flash it and I'm running Win 6.5 now for the past 8 months or so.
Now the phone had been consuming more battery than usual but then that was expected. However something really weird happened today. I used the phone around 4 hours ago (a call) and around that time it had been acting funny- the power button wasn't responding (to send it to standby mode), some keys in the virtual keyboard weren't working etc. I was in the gym at the time so I thought I'll figure it out later.
Once I got home I tried to restart it and then something funny happened. After a couple of tries, I'm not getting any display, a red light in the earpiece is constantly on, and the answer/disconnect button is permanently backlight. I've attached a pic for reference.
Can anyone shed some light on this?? Thanks in advance.
P.S. The casing is a dopod, had changed it a while back...
just try it
hi dear friend
just remove your memory card and then try to restart it may be due virus your phone is facing problem to start so just try it i am not sure but it may work
bye tc
