Using Faria's Real Thing. When my 8125 is plugged into USB, the backlight keeps turning on. After the backlight timeout turns off, USB seems to turn it on again after a few minutes. It works perfect when not connected to USB.
Anyone have a fix? I have searched and could not find a solution.
Isnt it in the backlight and Power settings?...

No it is not..
Perhaps ActiveSync is sending/receiving something causing the device to turn the backlight back on?
I just use a quick press of the power button to turn my backlight on/off.

I suspected ActiveSync too, so I uninstalled it, since I rarely use it anyway and only installed it to upgrade the ROM. The problem persists, not caused by ActiveSync.

I have noticed that turning off the screen (either via an app or by a brief press of the power button) also kills any Wifi connections that are active. Is there any way around this? Thanks.
Pressing the power button put the device to sleep/standby/suspend mode. Its not just Wifi, even the Bluetooth, GPS and everything but the phone part goes 'off' to save power. But why do you need WiFi to be active when in StandBy mode?

Carty..
are you sure that you are toggling the screen and not turning off the device compleatly?
all pda's i've had turn off when i press the powerbutton
but there are programs which toggle the screen and dont stop my
music from playing

Because I have VoIP set up and if the phone goes in to standby, it will still accept incoming normal calls, but not VoIP calls.

It's not powering the device off completely, a longer push of the power button is needed for that.
But, I had a setting in "Power" enabled, which would "Turn off the device" if it wasn't used for a period of time, and this was also killing Wifi when it was triggered.
Audio manager for ppc has resolved this problem. As far as i know its the only one that doesn't stop even if you press the power button. it keeps playing in background. Maybe someone can understand how they did it and post it. I also want my wifi no to be turned off when i press the power button since it doesn't reconnect to my access point. i have to do it manually
Regards
theres a way to turn off the screen, alot of the roms here have it in the shortcut folder.... and it doesnt kill stop anything like wifi bluetooth or WMP....
Since you know it why don't you mention it

I myself won't be leaving Wifi turned on now. I did some tests re battery life and found battery drain was just too severe if Wifi was left on permanently.

I tried this, and in the ROM i'm using it did kill Wifi as well. Oh well
yeah i feel you . the thing is, sometimes i download some mp3's over my WIZARD , and even if i don't the putton of the powering off, after a mintue ( depending on my power setting ) the device is switched off and WIFI is killed !
is there any cab to keep WIFI alive even tho the power button is get pressed ?
Hey,
I used BuildOS to make a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for my Apache. Now, though, the backlight stops working after several hours. In other words, I can only see the contents of the screen if I hold the phone under a bright light. A soft reset doesn't fix this, but a hard reset does, albeit only for a few hours.
What could be the problem?
Thanks,
Dan
Never mind...dummy here.
I didn't realize that pushing and holding the power button turns the backlight on and off.
Hey fellas..
Whenever I sync any bluetooth device to my phone, it periodically turns on my display on my Samsung Omnia (it turns off normally on its own). As soon as I turn off the bluetooth device or disconnect with it, then my display stays off. My bluetooth stays enabled during all this testing FYI.
Has anybody ran into this issue before?
Thanks in advance
why would that be an issue?

I have my bluetooth headset on and my screen keeps turning on every few minutes. Its any bluetooth device being linked to my phone.
Bumping my question back to Page 1.
you mean... it lights up every now and again while a bluetooth device is connected? or only while connecting to the device?
With my bluetooth headset connected the screen turns on every few minutes and it appears that the time inbetween the screen turning on is identical. I think the headset is just checking with the phone to keep connected, which turns the screen on.
When I synced via bluetooth to my desktop, the screen turns on whenever I do anything over bluetooth between the computer and the phone.
Is there any registery settings that I might try to prevent bluetooth from turning my screen on? ever?
Same thing here mate. Only my Touch Pro turns on the display (and keeps it on no matter what) whenever some BT accesory is connected, whether it be the carkit or the headphones. Pressing the power button causes the screen to turn off only to turn on by itself a second later. When BT accessory is disconnected everything works normal. Oh and I have bluetooth on all the time on the phone (never turn it off), but it only does this with smth connected. I suppose it's some kind of keepalive, but it annoys the hell outta me cause I can't listen to music w/o draining my battery and even starting some programs by accidental screen presses. So if anyone has a solution to keep the screen off it'd be more than welcome.
Orbit2 - the on/off button at the top is non responsive . It means when my backlight turns off I have to reset the device to use it again. I have disabled the backlight timeout for now,but it is an extra drain on the battery and im worried if the device turns off I will not be able to turn it on again. Any solutions ?
Is this an problem anymore?
Got the same now, an opened the device.
The button is mountet at 4 points, at mine 2 are brocken => no contact, no function...
After being quoted 100quid to fix it, I changed the settings so any button will take the device out of sleep mode. It is not fixed but this way works ok .

I have the same problem but can't find the setting that will allow me to un-sleep my phone with any button.
I use rom: 3LIT3_VIII_Full NLD
I think that these setting has been disabled in the rom.
Is there a register setting?
thanks
I do not know anything about roms.
You can turn off sleep mode in the battery saver I think. But means your battery gets used more quickly . The other way I tried was in the settings where any button will turn off sleep mode. This way was better.
Same problem! Although me being the idiot that I am have just dropped the battery and have no way of turning it back on. Any ideas?? Anyone?
Just plug your charger in press the camera and reset then you should get the spl screen then press the reset to boot into windows.This will only work if you are getting power ie from your charger or usb.

Is your phone led lighting up when plugged in ? If not could be usb not working,if it is could be your camera button knackered to so can't get to the spl screen.
Then plug your phone in then do a hard reset except dont press the send button then you should boot into windows without loosing any data.
This problem has suddenly started. If I tap the power button, the screen switches off as it should. But then it doesn't switch back on, no matter how many times i press the button. I have to soft reset.
Please help.
Okay, I've fixed that, but I'm having another problem now. After the backlight is turned off after 1 min, it doesn't turn back on :/
UPDATE: It's only happening when the phone is charging. Screen won't turn on once it's off. Backlight won't turn normal once it's off.
