Updated to Ranju's. Straight afterwards I've installed a few apps - opera, newsgater pro, flash and vijay555 (torch app).
Now I'm finding I can't stream 3gp from sites such as youtube. Also for some strange reason my device keeps setting the screen brightness level to 0. Happened a few times in very intense sunlight so I didn't care. Happened a few times at work which is annoying, but I won't be able to use my phone if it happens in the dark.
Only pattern I've noticed is that the phone seems to be doing it sometimes when turning it off powersave mode by holding the power or backlight button.
I think I've realised why 3gp downloads won't play - somehow my security certificates on my phone seem to be screwed - possibly as a result of getting down to around 200k of free memory. Time for a reflash it looks like.
Anyone got any ideas about the backlighting?
any way to get the certification back with out re-flash?

Greetings,
I just upgraded to the 2.02.00 ROM last night but still have the occassional lockups. I need to do a soft reboot to get the phone to respond. I believe when it locks up, the radio is still running since I see the blinking Green LED for the GSM. I have to switch off the POWER MANAGEMENT option of "Turn off in x min in not used" for battery power to be able to use the device for calls. The only level of battery saving I am stuck with now is the Backlight auto-off and the beam settings.
Is this something others are having as well or are any applications the culprit?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards
BHAMEED

Try the power button
All buttons..including the power button...no response.
try holding down the power button
or setting the backlight to atleast one notch.
Urm... uh... ah.... eeee... aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.
I can confirm this behavior on my MDA Pro (G3).
All ROM versions the same like Bhameed's on my MDA, ...except bootloader of course.
Anyone else noticed this on 2.02.00?
Hold on, can you guys be more specific with this? Are you absolutely sure it doesn't come back on when you PRESS AND HOLD the power button??? Really sorry if I sound like I'm being pedantic, but just from what you've written it sounds like you don't know how to turn on the phone???
hahahaHAHAHA!!! awesome reply spyder
ok, yeah i was thinking this is an issue of not being able to turn on your phone.
yeah what's going on that was different from before?
There have been only few moments where you think "Surely not"... I hate those moments, I'm just hoping this isn't one of them! If it is a genuine problem it's pretty serious and needs to be addressed, but if not.... well, I don't think I should say much more
Please please please say this is all a big joke. I'm tired, please excuse me.
I confirm this behaviour!
And more!
My Qtek freezes... freezes... and then PUFFF. Dead.
I wait some minutes (30 minutes) and I can turn it on again.
I'll send it to qtek.
Mine has a thing sometimes where there will be a pause between pressing the power button and it coming to life... sometimes if I get impatient and press the power button again it will turn it back off before it's come on.
I don't really get it though. Does it freeze while it's still on, or while it's turned off? If it freezes when on, there's plenty of info about how to prevent freezes (mostly 3rd party apps + reg tweaks).
If it really does freeze when off, then please let us know anything more on the issue that you can.

Mine freezes everywhere. Bootscreen, Pin code menu (when u type your pin). It depends.
then pda doesn't turn on.
Many problems.
Just go to the assistance. :\
1.Sometimes it freezes while its on. For Instance I had program opened and then whenI tried pressing X to close nothing happened. I had to use the red hardware button to close. Wonder why.
2.I too agree while the phone boots and is searching for network, it takes very long, Meanwhile when the pin enter screen come up, unless the network is fully searched one cannot enter the sim pin code, it has few freezes. or at time the phone signal icon disappears on top bar and again you need to reset the phone.

Again, I don't have this problem for some reason... I get very few freezes at all.
I think we're getting away from the original point of the post though... and normal freezing is well documented in most OS threads with means to prevent it.
Same here...Confirmed. Tried all button combinations to get the display back (short presses and long ones), but then end up having to do a soft-reboot to finally get the phone to work properly....

And then you don't have other problems? Like freezes?
EDIT: I flash the original rom but the problem still here
I wonder if this could be a memory leak like someone suggested.... I'm sorry guys, I haven't experienced this problem, and I haven't seen any posts about it until this thread, is there any chance you guys with this issue can keep an eye over your memory status over say a couple of days to see if there's a leek and keep us posted? Once we find out what the problem is it should make a solution easier.
I experienced this problem as well using a cooked WM5 ROM on my HERM200 the only fix I found was migrating to another ROM. I'm currently using CUSTEL_Cing_v1.3, the battery life sucks but I love WM6, it is so much faster, I'm still tweaking and trying to resolve some other issues but other than that I am quite happy with it.
If you are experiencing the lockup I would suggest moving to another ROM as an option, that worked for me. Although a clean install usually fixes a lot of problems.
It wastes lots of battery. I think i might have damaged the light sensor but i've tried turning it off but it doesnt change anything.
Anybody know?
Even if the light sensor is damaged, your backlight will go off after your device idles for some. Check your settings
thanks for the prompt reply.
ive checked all my power managment settings and they're all on the lowest time settings..
i dont understand why it would do this.
Are you using any softwares that manages the backlight timeout? Such as Tweak2k2, etc
it seems to be working fine now after i restarted my phone.
i wasnt using any software.
thanks for your help.

my phone did this before. but yea just a simple reset fixed it
Maybe you installed maniac's AutoKeyLock, I had the same behavior a couple of time...
It seems like after some time, it overrides by mistake the power mgt values.
Hi!
I have the same problem. Wm6 The back light turn to the dim mode and that"s all. It does switch off the screen. If I connect to the AC power It does the same. When I lock the keypad, every thing seems to be all right. It switches the screen off. Any idea. I restarted the phone, but nothing changed, i didn't install any Autokeylock program.
Hi, this problem exist occasionally after you install some apps (i.e. AutoKeylock). You can fix it easy - enter registry and open key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power" then modify value in key "Display".
Thanks, it is working.
I've tried a search to no avail.
Is there a way to just have the screen turn off with putting the device to sleep? On my TP if I'm listening to music thru the HTC built in music player or Coreplayer (streaming media), the phone no longer sleeps after a time out. It simply stays on with the screen dimmed. This is wasting battery life in my pocket. Can I just turn the screen off and keep the device awake? Pressing the power button puts it to sleep and the music stops.
Is this normal or is it because I've enabled auto lock feature with advanced config?
On my old universal I could just close the lid to turn the screen off. Is there a way to do it on this - maybe something like press and hold the power button while it's locked (otherwise it'll turn off!). Or better still - for it to recognise music is playing and just turn the screen off automatically and not sleep.
Cheers,
LLOYDY
Am I being stupid and missing something ridiculously obvious or is this not possible?...
I am working on an app that can to do this.
The current development thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431328
You can be my VGA tester if you like . (Post and problems / findings / etc. in there)
Download 0v01c and change the settings to Lights Out, then press Sleep.

Try the excellent today plugin called DevState (Device State). Its has a "turn off screen" option which is what I think you are after.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-devstate-v1-5.html
It can be seen in my today screen below:
Cheers guys! Will look into these.
Stupid me - phone goes off by itself anyway. You just have to wait.

I think the title says it all. I would like shoot a long video in a fixed position, keeping the screen on is a real battery killer.
Cheers John
have you tried using a screen-off app tied to a hard button?
Yep, tried BlackMe 1.3 but that kills the camera from working. The camera doesn't seem to like working in the background. Tried just turning the screen off with the power button, hoping it would be like Mp3 players that keeps playing music.
Associate blackme to the center Dpad button, if you havent already.
Reason I suggest that, is so you can keep the camera/videorecorder in the foreground, and just hit that button to shut the screen off.
Obviously sometimes programs dont like working when the screen is off so idk if that will work.. but worth a try if you havent already (hard to tell from your response).;
If it does not, you would need a seperate video recording program that lets it record with the screen off. Dont know if those are available.
(also, hitting the power button is much different from blanking the screen .. so im not surprised the power button didnt work.)

Has anyone figured out a solution, yet? I've been wondering this since I got the phone...
Me want this too! Been searching for quite sometime but no luck. Come in handy if we want to take pic or vid discreetly, ehm..
Basically this, every 3 or 4 days or so my OnePlus screen will go dark. It isn't *crashing*, though - it's happened when I've had headphones in listening to music and the music still plays, responds to headset controls, etc., so I think it's just the screen. Normal reboot will not work (holding the power button), although this might be because that presents a reboot menu rather than just rebooting the device. I have to do power button + volume up to reboot the device, at which point it reboots and everything is back to normal. I'm happy to gather any addition logs/data needed to debug, but I can't find anything in my crash debugging app (because it's not a crash...). Other interesting pieces of info
- I get the "Intent Verification Service stopped responding" issue every reboot
- I originally installed by wiping OOS + Android 12 and trying to install 19.1 and 19.1 recovery; this failed (same problem as here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/denying-ota-because-it-is-a-spl-downgrade.4463975/), so I installed 18 instead, which failed, but then wiping and going back to 19 succeeded (because the update was newer and thus no longer a "downgrade", I presume. IDK what really happened there).
- Trying to do Android Beam hard crashes the whole device; I've disabled NFC for now
Other than that the build runs swimmingly. I can live with the other stuff but the screen shutting off randomly is worrying to me - anything I can do to fix this or help you guys help me fix it?

Ok, it's been about a week and a half, I thought this was resolved but lately the issue has cropped up again, always at inconvenient times. Any logging I can enable or other settings I can tweak?
Had the same issue when I upgraded from C.61, which I now have learned breaks some sensors like light and proximity.
I'm currently back to stock until I have some time on the weekend to experiment again with downgrading to C.47 and then installing LineageOS.
Seems to be happening more frequently as of late. Friendly reminder for those of you experiencing this to not press the power button a bunch of times to try and resolve as (at least on my phone) this calls 911 and then you have to awkwardly explain to emergency services that there is no emergency :/

I'm having the same issue continously, basically every time I put my phone into my pocket, it is unable to wake...
It is responsive but it's like the proximity sensor gets messed up.
I used on the proximity sensor tester apps to prove that it is still functioning properly, which I could turn it off at this point as it's certainly causing the issue based that it only happens when I put it into my pocket.
I've tried almost every combination of those settings at this point and it's not working. Might try doing a factory reset at this point..
Edit: I've used SD Maid to clear everything, it helped a bit.
Still having black screens. Going to just downgrade back to lineage os 18 till Twrp comes out for 12
