Hello again, nookies!
I've come across a small bug/problem on my Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight. Wondering if any of you might know the cause/how to fix it.
It's been happening for a little while, but I don't know when it started exactly. I've just been coping with it for a while.
So the problem is as follows: Whenever I either let my Nook go to sleep, tap the power button to make it sleep, or turn my Nook all the way off and reboot, if I had the GlowLight on directly before any of the above actions, for some reason my Nook doesn't register that the light was turned off when I turned off the device. I mean, yes, the light itself turns off, of course, but when I want to turn it back on again after putting it to sleep or even rebooting entirely, the light is still considered "On" in the GlowLight control window, and for me to actually turn it on again, I have to turn it "Off" first, and then back on again.
This is somewhat annoying, as I normally need to turn on my GlowLight at the lockscreen using the "hold the N button" function, but if I do after I had the GlowLight on before turning it off, I have to hold the N button for 2 seconds to get the Nook to think that the light is "Off", and then I have to unpress the N button and then press it for 2 seconds again to actually get the light to turn on.
Hopefully I wasn't all too redundant, but can anyone help me fix this little bug?
Thanks,
3N

Today I had an alarm set, when the alarm went off I tapped hit the power button on the top of my phone to turn the screen off (and hopefully the alarm... but only the screen went off). The alarm continued to go, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get the screen to come back on.
I can fully interact with the phone (as if the screen was on). For example, pressing talk twice redailed my last call. Pressing power prompted to shut the phone off (could hear the "blurp"), etc.
So, after shutting the phone off (or resetting with pinhole reset), the display works fine while it is displaying the "Cingular - Raising the Bar" nonsense. As soon as that screen is done (where it would have normally showed the today screen), the screen just goes off...
Any ideas?

nevermind, when I put it under a bright light I realized the screen was on, the backlight was just off... somehow I must have hit some shortcut to turn the backlight off.

Don't sound too relieved...
Say hello to the Backlight bug.
You're backlight will keep setting itself to the lowest setting after every soft-reset, when you let it go into stand-by itself.
I'm still sufferering from it. It started when i first installed PocketZenphone.
So just want to give u a warning. Everytime you reset your phone, remember not to let it go into standby itself. Either tap the power button and turn the screen off, then turn it on agan. Otherwise, the Backlight will go to low again.
Hi guys...
I am as techy as the rest of yew, maybe more so, but I am having a problem understanding one thing about this phone. I know it is something very simple that I am missing, but I can't find anything about it anywhere in the docs, either?
How does the "auto power off" feature work? What I mean by this is, I know we can turn the power off after two minutes or whatever, but I see that the green GSM radio light is still flashing. That's good, that's what we want because we want to be able to receive calls.
The problem I am having is that after a time (I am guessing it is the two minutes?) I can't get the screen to come back on? What am I missing here? Is it me, or is it a bad phone? Auto power off seems to make the phone unuseable until a soft reset.
I tried pushing the power button, nothing. I tried HOLDING the power button, nothing. I tried pushing the TALK button, nothing.
Is the auto power off different than pushing the power button once and putting the device to sleep? What I want is the device to go to sleep after two minutes. I want to be able to use the phone again without doing a soft reset every time.
I know this is something easy, but I can't quite figure it out?

I've been having a similar issue with my 8125. I seem to also have a problem when I turn the device off. I've been trying to pinpoint the circumstances, but haven't had any luck as of yet.
Have you made any progress with this?
hold the power bottom for 3-5 seconds , there will apper a Yes/No dia.tap yes will real shut off. Not good at eng.But is it easy to understand ?
i had a similiar issue recently on a phone i had forever, turns out that i installed GPRS connection monitor that turned the backlight off on my phone... after hitting the power button to wake it up it appeared my screen was still off, so if i turned it at the right angle i could see my today screen.. meaning the backlight was off, i had to keep it at that angle and navigate into the setting menu to turn the backlight on.. i couldnt find a fix for it so i uninstalled the GPRS monitor and havent had the problem since
I've run into a frustrating situation that I can't get a hold of. For some reason my Wizard won't stay turned off. I'll hit the power button to put it in standby, and then all of a sudden, a minute or so later, I'll see the unit on, but with the backlight completely off. Pressing a button doesn't seem to trigger the backlight, but it I hit the power button the backlight will come on. The unit isn't locked either because with the backlight off, I can still use it. Can someone help me with this? Thanks
Check the notification q, and possible background software that is messing with it.
I checked the Notification Q and there's nothing. It just seems to turn on for no reason. I thought I saw someone that it might be batterystatus, but I can't remember. I guess I'll remove that from the plugin and see what happens.
There's a few threads about WM6, passwords, and backlight settings. If you use a password, try not using one. I previously ran WM6 and had the same issues, so I switched back to WM5. I'm now running WM6 again (Crossbow Reloaded 1.5), and this time I didn't bother to set a password - no power issues.
I think it's a problem with batterystatus, but I can't say for sure. I'm not using any passwords.
I have a HTC Magic from Orange (PL), unmodified, without root access, Android 1.5 out-of-box. Recently, I've noticed annoying issue on my phone. If I don't press "end call" red button to turn screen off, it will be on forever - the phone is on the desk for 15 minutes, I'm not touching it, and the backlight is still on, with my Android desktop (not lock-screen) on the screen. It's look like there is no timeout to turning backlight and screen off, although this was working some time ago. I've tried to change settings like timeout value in minutes, WiFi sleep mode etc. but without success. It is so annoying that I have to remember now to press red button after using a phone. Anyone can help me?
P.S.: I don't have aFile or Dark Keys installed.
Hi,
I experienced today a strange behavior:
I used my nook, turn off wifi, let it in my bag for 1 or 2 hours and when i tried to wake it the screen didn't turn on.
At first i though it was SOD but when i looked closer to the screen there was something on it, it was the CM7 boot logo (the tony hawks droid
The logo was not very visible, most like old "ghost image" on CRT screen when he same image is displayed for long periods of time.
I should have taken a photo, i will if it reproduce.
Kinda sounds like it was rebooting without turning on the backlight. Could you see the arrow circling? I've had "n" turn on the backlight with no image, but tapping power turns off the backlight, then tapping it again turns the screen on properly.
Sounds like somebody's state machine has a leak...
i will never know (i pressed power 8s, if it was booting, i just stopped it)
