Hi!
- Does the Universal turn on automatically when the display flip is opened or does the user have to press the Power button first?
- What exactly does the Backlight button do?
I need to know this because I'm investigating a possible wiring damage ...
Thanks!

Depends...
The Universal knows two different states. When you close the display while the device is on, and then open the diplay again the screen will come on.
If however you first press the power button to send the device into standby, and then close and open the display, the screen will not come on, the device will remain in standby.
The backlight button is useless, use the hack to re-assign it to a function of your choice.
Thanks!
That helped a lot!! 8)

I have problem with power button. when push pwr button dont,t off pda, but when hold pwr then lights off.
Power is never shut off in PDAs, thats the way PDAs have been designed.
I have the same problem, he is not talking about a full power down. If you hit the power button quickly the phone does nothing. However if you hold the power button down for about 2-3 seconds the lcd light turns off as it should.
Because of this I have to wait 1 minute for the unit to suspend before putting it back in the holster.
Does anybody have any idea as to why this might be happening. Im not new at this so hard reset, soft reset.. new rom... new radio...turning up side down while chanting. It does not change......
It will do it right one or twice in a week.
Maybe somebody that understands the signal that the unit receives upon pressing the power button might be able to shed some light on this.... Again the button does seem to operate just not suspend when pressed normally (1 second or less)
I have done some more research and this seems to be a common problem for some with BAs but nobody has found out why. There must be some kind of common hardware fault.. Does the power button send only one signal or is it a multi signal device.

Do you have a problem with turning on? First, we need to know whether it is hardware issue or not...
What you can do in the mean time with the turning off problem is by installing a poweroff app like shutdownme, psshutxp, etc etc...
Absolutely no problem with turning on from standby... Right now i just lock the phone before placing it back in the holster.
To make it clearer if you HOLD the power button down the backlight will turn off only. It will still show the display image and keys will still function (it dims)
Well, I had the same issue with the latest WM5 ROM. I thought I was too stupid to press the button, then I thought the button was broke, then I thought, I'll have to live with it.
Now that I have flashed to WM6, no problems at all! Never even came to my mind that this problem once existed. So I guess that some ROMs just have this particular bug?

I have tried all the roms as well as 2003 and have the same issue in all of them. And im not alone.
Power off Problem
I'm in same condition.
Had the same problem when using WM2003 second Ed.
Now I've installed WM6 but nothing changed:
I cannot power-off/suspend but can turn off backlight if press and hold power button.
When in standby the button works fine to turn on the device.
Also, sometimes volume turns up continously with "noisy" beep ...
Anybody solved this problems?
Thanks,

Power button has two modes:
1. Click mode: Click it once for a short duration. This turns off backlight and can be resumed by pressing it again or by pressing OK button
2. Press and Hold mode: Press and hold for few seconds and release. This mode will dim the backlight and no other button will bring it back. This is some kind of deep sleep in battery mode. To resume the original setting, press and hold Power button again for few more seconds.
(p.s.: I am not sure if this behavior is true for all the BA models)
April 1,
I know these modes...
It seems that "mode 1" doesn't work at all...
I would activate "Button Lock" (settings-->button--> Lock(tab)--> "lock all buttons except power button") to turn-off backlight and "lock all buttons except power button" but I cannnot...
You solved this problem?
I have had this issue of not being able to power off. One way I always got out of it was by clearing the registry hive. Unfortunately this brings the PDA back to the basic ROM. At this point the power button worked without any issues. Upon reloading the software the problem may come back. I believe the issue is related to some programs. I can't recall which program it was that seemed to cause the issue. One other thing I think that also worked was just entering the registry and getting back out and doing a hard reset.
I had the same problem with my 6600. the message button also didn't work. Believe it or not, to fix it. I banged the lower half (4-way area) on my desk a few times. Not hard enough to break the screen. But prolly hard enough to free what was prolly a sticky key. And now everything is working.
i am too
the same ...
when i press the power quickly , nothing happen
when i press the power for 2 sec. the backlight turns off
i tried every thing .... including formatting my BA
any one solve it ???
I have this same problem, my power button does`t work. i tried installing different roms but without any chance to fix it. maybe its an mechanic issue. i will change pwr button, i hope this work.
Look at one of my previous posts. I fixed it, twice, and other users have used the same metod to fix it. I think the problem is "hung bit" hardware related because you can also send it in for service, and they will change a chip, but i never had to.
My wing is getting extreamly annoying. The power button is stuck on, so the screen is always on and i cant turn the screen off. So my battery lasts a few hours! is it possible to remap the button to another button on the side of the phone? or at least turn off the button, so i can save battery. I searched up and down for a power button fix and i cant find one for my situation. Any Suggestions?
I don't think you can remap the power button. I think it's a hardware problem so you need to take apart the case or bring it to T-Mobile.
take the case apart and clean the button . parts are very small and delicate so I suggest allowing plenty of time to operate and be patient
Hello guys.. im searching for some litle app that is able to map the Stylus
for example: When the Stylus is IN the Screen to be OFF backlight in a sleep mode.
When the Stylus is Out the Screen to be ON.. wake up automaticly.
I found this that is avalible in Mobile Magic Button Maper etc.. but there have so many extras with i will not use them and i hear that this app drain the batery fast.
So i need and i think many of you need just one very light simple app for the Stylus... this will not drain out Battery and also we will not need anymore to press the Power Button when we want our phone to go on Sleep and Wake Up
For example if you Map some key for the screen OFF thats work without problem but when the screen is OFF in HTC Touch HD you can`t turn it on with any from the KEYS because they just don`t work in sleep mode.. so you can turn it ON only by presing the Power Buton witch is not good because from so many use of that Litle Button often the peoples have problem with this button and he often Crash.
If someone is able to do this Stylus APP will be Awsome.
i want this as well since my power button is broken....
will wait...thanks
It's part of multi functions in Gyrator.

Hello dude i gound Desigion of the Problem.
Here is full with APPS like this but i was searching for something very Light that don`t dry battery and work fast... i know that in Gyrator and MobileMagic you can do this option but they have alot more stufs to costumize and i need only the Stylus so what you can do is very simple.
Install "Turn Off The Light" this is a CAB and you can install it directly on device memory after you install it just go to Settings, Personal and Buttons
So you can asign a Key i asign my my 1st Hardware Button when i press and long hold to TURN OF THE LIGHT
and thats it...
Also my Stylus when is Out by default my phone Wake UP..
So i don`t need any more applications and etc when i want my phone to sleep just long pressing the hardwere call buton when i want to wake up just pul out the Stylus and there is no need to use the Power Button Anymore.
thanks for the response...anyway by removing the stylus...it seems that it eats up 1-2% of the battery usage...
any alternative solution to turn on from off...
thanks in advance
S2U2 can wake up / unlock the screen when pulling it out and lock it when you put it in.

Did you try StylusLock?
Hi guys, I'll go direct to the problem.
My power button is broken. I can still use it to open/close the phone and lockscreen/wake the phone up. The problem is its very sensitive. One time it went bootloop - (not bricked) like the power button was held down (even if Im not touching it). Sometimes if I just brush my finger on top of it, or tap very very gently (without it clicking), my phone would restart. There are even times when it shuts down just by me putting it down on the table.
Is there anyway I can at least disable the power button while the phone is turned on? (I can use the home button to wake, and a widget to lock).
Or is there any quick and easy way to fix the button (without requiring any technical knowledge on electronics)?
Thank you very much to whoever can help.

Either pop the button out & fix it back in again or you will need to get it replaced
Looks like I'll just have to buy another phone.
I hear something moving inside when I shake the phone.
