hey everyone i just need help.. im new here and new about windows mobile,,,
got it 4 months ago,,
my phone is HTC touch ELF100
since about a month it keep shut down by it self i did try changing the Rom and still the same shutting down after 3 or 4 min when i dont use it
and the thing im worry about when it off and i try 2 turn it on i hear a strange sound in the power like its gunna fire
if u can help me about that i will be so glad

Does it shut down completely eg no light indicator or only display going off?

its look like the display is off
but when i click on power its turn on
and now i did try somthing the auto keylock is off and till now it havent shut down

Start>>Settings>>Backlight and adjust Battery power and External power tabs. Then tap Menu>> Power, in Advanced tab do the adjustments

i did that,,
but do i have 2 keep it like that? no lock?

The best lock device is on the top of your device, it's called power button

but the Q why did that happen?

Lock Button (lock phone while in use)

if you are using the phone the proximity sensor will turn off the screen once it touches your face to prevent screen buttons from being pressed.

for some reason I turn turn off the Phone Connection (pretty much like airplane mode) while in the phone and it happens a lot, and it bothers, so I was wondering how to lock it to bypass this issue

You gotta make sure that you are on the dialer when you put it upto your face, anywhere else and the proximity sensor won't do anything. I have a terrible habit of hitting home, then opening a dozen programs while talking to someone cause my screens hittin my ear. Just make sure that you are on the call screen before moving it to your head and it should do the rest.

sounds good nuff, i'll try to keep that in habit, so used to android devices with a lock button lol, thanks guys

I just hit the notification bar an then hit lock at the bottom of the screen while talking on the phone, now I use Inesoft phone.

screen timeout on dialer!!!!! WTF

ok.. this erks the **** out of me!!!! say you dial someone, the screen goes blank, and i need to get back to dialer or desktop.. i shake, i press the power button, the screen comes on and RIGHT BACK OFF! over and over and over.... ........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how can i set the timeout time?? or after it comes back on..

this is happening because of the sensor that turns off the screen when you bring the phone up to your face. try bringing the phone down and not putting your fingers anywhere near the top left section of the phone where your see the "Htc" logo. as far as turning it off im not sure about that. hope i helped

i do have it away.. like i have it trying to access my contacts, texts to read back, etc.... or even if i dial and not meaning to dial someone.. trying to end a call.. etc.

I had this same problem with my old HTC Touch Pro 2 mine was a hardware problem that I couldn't fix and it eventually led to me to throwing the phone on the ground and switching back to my blackberry.

[Q] Why will the screen NOT turn off?!!

This is driving me nuts! I can finish a phone call, put my phone down on my desk, then look over 5 minutes later and the screen is STILL on. I have to hit the power button to make it sleep, it will go black, then flash the lock screen and then follow the 15 second screen mode I have set and go black then. what gives? Its not rooted, i dont have a lot of crazy apps on it. Anyone know what causes this?

Quick noob question..

I know this is probably a basic question, but everytime i switch the tablet on now or switch the screen back on once it's gone off, and once i've slid the unlock button up, i keep getting this search history page immediately after... I've been through every damn Google setting i can see/think of and yet everytime it switch the screen off and back on, there it is again. Please help as it's driving me insane. It just used to unlock as usual and display the wallpaper and icons on the home screen, i don't know what's been changed..

Doesn't matter... I've sorted it..
