My Himalaya not responding after sometime I turn it off

I flash the my hima with the TofClock 2.01a32WWE ROM, and it works fine, and I'm very glad with it.
But now, some time I turn off my hima by pressing the power button, the screen went black, after a while, I want to light it to operate, the hima keeping black, and the hima cannot operate any more, and I tried to call my phone(hima), the hima didn't ringing. Also, SMS, MMS, all function dead. But the same time, the 2 leds, Blue and Green/Red, flash like normal.
At this time, the only way to operate hima normally was soft-reset it by press the hole with my pen.
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Is there someone experience this situation, and is there some way to solve the problem.
:idea: :idea:
ps: in the Settings --> System --> Power --> Advanced page, the 2 options can set "Turn off device if not used for" some minutes, when "turn off" time out, the same problem occurs like above, I called it Auto Turn Off
My device is Dopod 696 (Maybe Chinese mainland version of O2 XDA II).
:wink: :wink:

I also experienced similar problems, but with the 64 version.
After a while, when I tried to turn it back on, it began to act strange. First the automatic turn off backlight option was every time reset to 10 sec and then after a day or 2 I noticed that the screen was sometimes still showing some black lines. Changing the volume still gave the corresponding sounds, but nothing else seemed to work (or wasn't visible). Normal operating mode was only reinstated after a soft-reset.
I gave it a hard reset and restored a backup (using SPB). It's operating again, but it already contains the 10 sec change.
So probably have to start clean again and install everything from the beginning, but before I do I would like to make sure it will not happen again.
Appears like the Power Off option is screwed, no matter in which way I use it (button or a program).
Anyone have any thoughts on it?

zplei
yes, i have same problem on my O2 XDA ATOM
with last rom and other

I have the same problem too, the only ay to have it back is softreset

i was using spb to toggle display mode.

someone said can be solve by reegedit. but how to.

anyone found a solution..?

WM6 screen goes off after 5 Sec

hi got Tornado imate sp5m i ve flashed the rom with WM6 Perfect English after flashing i seems corrupted it gets freeze if i dont use it for several hours and when use it the screen goes off every 5 seconds with an annoying chime and tried Vanila aswel but getting the same problem.
Note: After Clear Storage it works fine again for sometime. i have T9English and Sp5m Buttons Installed nothing else
Any Solution
i ve format my phone installed GSM update and then WM6 and followed step by step.

Same problem here with Vanilla Edition.
Screen goes off after 7secs no matter what time-outs are set under power management. If I cange values in power management, it works fine again, but after some time it starts cutting off screen after 7secs, that is very annoying.

yes it doesnt care about time management it got its own time well much annoying thing is it hangs sometimes and i found no call is recieved when it seems hang
did u Clear the storage ? the problem seems solve but for a while

Set these registry settings and you'll be fine:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power]
"Display"=dword:0000003C
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power\LockLevel]
"LockLevel"=dword:00000000
The display will go off after 60".

screen goes off after 7 seconds only after the keypad is locked (that's the best i can do to prevent screen from lighting when the joystick is accidentally toggled inside your pocket for example). but if it is not locked, (in my experience) it corresponds to the timeout set under power management. but still i will check on that.

This display timeout behavior is normal for WM5/6.
In [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power] there is usually only one key when the keypad is unlocked. The "Display" key stores your normal timeout setting in seconds. When you lock the keypad, the "Display" key is set to 7 seconds and your normal timeout setting is set to a new key called "TimeoutSaved". When you unlock the keypad, the "TimeoutSaved" is deleted and the "Display" key is set to your normal timeout setting. So far so good...
But, there's also another key in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power\LockLevel] called "LockLevel". It seems that it controls the normal Display/TimeoutSaved behavior. It's normal value is "0". But some times it is changed (I think AutoKeyLock and LowLevel have something to do with it) and set to "3" or "4". All you need is reset it to "0".

That value keeps restoring back and 5-sec time-out problem remains. There is no workaround here...

Just to point out, Nitro's registry settings appear to be in hex, whereas most ROMs I've used show it to me in normal numbers (is that binary? because I thought binary was only 0 or 1).
Either way, 0 is 0. I wonder if it's possible that this key should be in hex and the keylock programmer used the wrong way to enter info, or maybe vice versa but still wrong data?

It's actually 7 seconds and you have to power off your phone, wait a minute (or two) and start it up again.
This is a really common problem/question. If you had used the search you wouldn't have had to post and wait.

Look at this. This is solution for your problem

Possible cause
I think I may have found what is causing this issue. I noticed that if I let the keylock program run, it changes the backlight, etc to timeout and go black in about 5 seconds. I have to go into config and change it to a higher number, then back down to what I want it to be.
It got to the point that just had to disable that keylock program, otherwise, I have to constantly reset the power management settings.
When I don't have the keylock program running, the timeouts all work as advertised. Strange, eh?
Quakie

I had this, I found a solution, delete the LockLevel key with a registry editor, reboot and the problem has never occurred again

TP keeps turning itself off every 30 seconds

Hi
Unless I'm actively using it my TP keeps turns itself off after 30 seconds no matter what power settings I use (and despite a factory reset and SPB restore). This isn't too much of an issue, except when I'm trying to use GPS/Satnav (TT7) whilst driving, where turning itself off is a real pain.
Could anyone please suggest how this issue can be resolved?
Many thanks in advance...

Is it physically turning off, requiring you to press the on key, let it reboot, or,
is it going to sleep, and you press the on key to wake it up?
If it is the latter, go to start>settings>system>power, click on the
advanced tab and change the backlight & power off settings there.
If it actually turning off, sounds like it might be a defective phone.

Thanks for your reply!
I've repeatedly altered the power settings but it makes no difference at all, if I set it to turn off at any given time (or not at all) it'll still turn off after 30 seconds. And to claify, it doesn't reboot, it just turns the screen off. It *feels* like a software issue, because it'll stay working forver as long as I tap the screen occasionally, something somewhere just counts down 30 seconds if i don't and turns off the screen...

The max time you can put on it is 5 min. The default setting out of the box is 30 seconds --which sound like what you currently have.
Set the "On Battery Power: Turn off backlight if device is not used for xxx MIN). Make sure first that that's checked, and select the drop down.
Eventually --to conserve battery power--, it will 'sleep'.
Your NAVIGATION software should have a setting to over-ride this to NEVER TURN OFF DISPLAY WHILE NAVIGATION.
Aside from that, there is no other way to keep the backlight on --unless it's plugged into a power outlet.

Many thanks again for your reply; As I mentioned previously I've already changed the power settings settings (frequently) and I'm definitely not on the 30-second default, no setting appears to make any difference, be it 5 minutes or 'never turn off'. It also happens when the 'phone is plugged into a power source too.
(And I have got the 'don't turn off whilst navigating' box ticked for the satnav but the issue applies generally, not just to the satnav, that's just where it's most irritating).
Is there any possibility something has changed in the registry to over-ride the control panel settings in this way?

How about doing a hard reset and not doing a spb restore? You realize that all you did when you restored the phone was restore the bug, right?
Edit: I doubt it will work, but you can try the backlight cab. It will restore all the stock backlight reg settings if yours are messed up.

Hi,
I have same problem as you. TP keeps turns itself off after 30 sec!!
And I am using TT7. So this problem is so annoying.
I tried hard resetting and install programs one by one. and check if TP is keeping backlight on or not. And I installed TT7 and worked perfect.( display is always on)
That was yesterday.
Today I was using TP, it happened again.
The registry setting is still 3min on battery, uncheck on AC power.
30 sec problem happens both status.
This thing did not happen before Raphael_Cingular_US_5.11.502.2_Radio_Sign.
TP worked fine for a while on this radio.
Now even I check " NEVER TURN OFF DISPLAY WHILE NAVIGATION" box in some apps. TP turn off backlight.
I tried backlight.cab, that did not work and still turning off.
(thanks anyway )

I will try hard reset again.
Somebody please help us out.

Did you try the cab? If that doesn't work, just flash another rom.

I am also having this problem. I did get it to stop once by going in to the registry and actually editing it. But it started to do it again after a wile. I am trying it again today and see if it work. I am using a trial version of BestRegEdit and was wonder if it could have changed it back because it was a trial. So if some one elce wants to give it a shot it us under HKey_Current_user\ControlPanel\Power\Display and you will change that 30 to what ever amount of time you want. I pick 0 because i never want it to turn off. Hope this helps Oyeah, does anyone know of a free resitry editor? This is my last day on the BestRegEdit Thanks

Uh, total commander, regedit, dotfred's task manager and probably a few more.

Thanx,
I tried cab, and did not work. So I installed test rom and works fine now. NO 30 seconds backlight off now.
[March 1st] New ATT test rom Radio 1.12.25.19 OS AKU 1.4.6 Build 20771
I will use this until new "Signed" and Works Ok radio comes.
* Recently I use resco explorer and regedit addon. Free app: regedit.Mrln works fine, I think. I have been using these for keyboard layout section.

Glad you solved it, I had an interesting problem, similar to the screen issue, wonder it it might be related. I flashed to a new rom over the weekend, and no matter what I did, the backlight would turn off after 10 seconds. You could reset it to 30 in the power profile, but after a reboot, it would revert back to 10 seconds. Reflahsed it, and after the flash, when it starts loading the customizations, it would freeze. Flashed again, and it hung at customization again! Downloaded the rom again, deleted the old one, and flashed and it worked and the backlight would stay put!
Maybe the one you downloaded was corrupt?
Anyway, glad you got it working.
P.S. The rom isn't an "official" that I downloaded, it was one of the 6.5 that the cooks on the rom page whipped up. I think it was just a corrupted download.

This issue has happened to me a few times. even while i'm still using the phone and typing the screen goes off.
very annoying.
I found it only happened to me using EnergyROM. when I flashed to a different rom the problem was solved.
recently I flashed back to the newest version of EnergyROM again (after the previous ROM decided to hard reset all by itself) and this issue happened again in the first hour!
I really wish I could find a usable ROM for once and for all

My Case: WMWifiRouter was it!
This happend even when TP under Test rom env. I just gave up and installed latest version cause this ver is less stressfull.
Luckly 30 sec issue did not happend for a while until I installed WMWifiRouter.
Just after I install V1.50 30 sec thing and happend.
KB0907027: [BUG] v1.50 backlight timeout issue
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/knowledge/KB0907027/
I Installed V1.52 and now works fine and no backlight problem.
If you installed WMWifirouter check the link.

I use EnergyROM as well and i noticed that right after a fresh flash, if you tried to modify certain settings using the gui (i.e. alarm times, connection settings etc) they wouldnt stick - perhaps a direct registry edit using one of the tools previously mentioned might force the device to remember the changes? this worked for me when i had trouble with my alarm times not being saved.
ive also heard that sometimes a soft-reset isnt enough to commit changes to the registry - i.e. once making a reg edit, cold boot the device - that is press and hold the power button and turn it entirely off.
hope this helps

Doubts regarding WM6.5..

I upgraded my gigabyte gsmart i128 to wm6.5 today. The OS works fine on ma fone till now.
My questions are:
1)In the file explorer, how to select multiple files? When I tap on afile and move the stylus up, the page scrolls down(in older versions of wm, we could select multiple files by this). Actually this scrolling feature is nice and usefull but there is no options for selecting multiple files. Can anyone teach me how to select multiple files in WM6.5?
2)I installed S2U2 in ma fone and set it to lock the fone when the backlight turns off(after 30 sec). Ok..that works fine. But when I start to play a song in WMP, it continues to play upto 30 secoonds and stops when the backlight turns off. When I again unlock the screen and click on the song, it resumes playing. Please can anyone advice me regarding this?
3)When S2U2 is not there, after 30 seconds, the fone's backlight turns only dim(doesn't turn off) and I set the settings such that to lock the fone when entering standby mode. But my fone doesn't enter this standby mode and continues this dimlight until we press a key or tap the screen. I think this consumes a lot of battery. Anyone please advice me..
These are my questions and I hope anyone 'll answer me soon..

please anyone reply abt these things..

Igo gone grazy

Suddenly for no reason as I try to type the address/town in Igo 8 the letter Åå forces it no matter what. I do have nordic letters and when the letter A is pressed it turns in to Å.
No soft reset or anything helps... it forces the letter as like I was pressing the letter A all the time.
But why? Is my display/touchpad slowly braking? Dislpay/touchpad works in every other program like the first day i got it. And no, theres is no software to explain this. I did even hard reset my phone and it worked fine for a day or two.
I have re-installed it few times and even changes sys files replaces storage card files with others.
I have stock wm 6.5 and stock rom (including the HTC official rom update) and stock everything else. And CHT 2.0.
I Appreciate all the help.

I've seen this before....It has to do with a sys.txt entry...Let me try to find which one it is...I will keep you posted
Edit: Here it is try this in your sys.txt
[device]
sdcard_dsk_num=7

Yes I found that and few other forums suggest adding:
[device]
type="ALIAS_TOUCH HD"
sdcard_dsk_num=7
But still no luck.
But i'll net try the igo.exe from another version if that helps.

And by accident I found that when I set the screen backlight allways on from Igo settings the letter A gets stuck, and if change it back to default I can type the address normal.
But I really wan't the backlight to be on allways 'cause otherwise it'll turn the screen off after a minute... weird ****...

If backlight is the problem then try to fool it. Leave the backlight settings in iGo as they were for the keyboard to work and play with these settings on sys.txt
[power]
backlight_manage_values = 1
backlight_manage_keys = 1
backlight_max = 10
backlight_min = 0
backlight_reverse = 0
backlight_key_timeout_BA = "BatteryTimeout"
backlight_key_timeout_AC = "ACTimeout"
backlight_key_ontap_BA = "BacklightOnTap"
backlight_key_ontap_AC = "ACBacklightOnTap"
backlight_key_on_BA = "OnOff"
backlight_key_on_AC = "ExtOnOff"
backlight_methods = 61
backlight_events = 1
skip_suspend_process_all=1
disconnect_gps_on_suspend=0
powermgm_state="0"
backlight_day="100"
backlight_night="50"
Don't know what each one does but they have to do with backlight so maybe it can help

Here it is:
Edit data.zip/config/keybind.txt and add the following to the [default] section:
x87="NOP"
xE5="NOP"
It did the trick for me!
Edit: iGO basically thinks that you have more hardware keys that are pressed... The two lines take care of those...

Thank you all for the help but for some perv reason I can't edit any .txt file so that it would stick, once edited I click ok but it doesn't stay. Reopened and the edited text isn't there.
And if I save it elsewhere and try copy it it messis with the hole folder. I use Resco Explorer and Word.

.............

Hail to God's I got it to work. Edited with my comp and copied to proper folder. Funny why this was so difficult when it worked previously just fine without any hassle.
But anyways, a huge applause to all those sharing my pain and helping with it.

Igo8 backlight
Just as I thought it was fixed I realized that things isn't what they seem.
From Igo8 I switched the backlight allways on and it works fine, in Igo, but at the same time it manages the Winmo backlight so that I can't keep the backlight in 30% as I normally like it to be. It simply doesn't let me set the backlight manually but to se it only to automatic. When backlight turned off from Igo8 (from allways on to device setting etc) it allows me to set it to 30% brightness in Winmo. So what to do? I wan't Winmo backlight to be 30% and Igo backlight to be allways on and in the darkest mode during night.
