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..?
Been searching but cant seem to find a solution to this problem on here, treocentral or howardforums....
I have noticed that the backlight does not turn off until the the phone turns off itself. I set the backlight to either 10 or 30 secs but the phone does not turn the backlight off. It does blink however when the time does come up (I timed it while watching the phone). The phone will turn off once it reaches 1 min (as I set the power settings to 1 min)... not according to the backlight settings.
has anyone encountered this problem .. or know a solution ..
I did a hard reset before this happened ..
The only 3rd party app is Resco Explorer
Thanks..
I have already tried 3 Treos, all of them has the problems you described. Even when no applications installed. I think this is a bug, but don't know how to fix it.
I hope this will be fixed (along with storage card problems) by the WM6 upgrade, which will be available soon.
deactivate the key guard function. then it works
When I am on a call the backlight on my Touch Cruise turns off - I don't mind this. The problem is that when I try to turn it back on it is extremely dim (even if the backlight setting is "bright") and I need to use "Adjust backlight" to make it brighter. In sunlight this is almost impossible to do since I cannot read the screen. Even after I readjust the brightness, whenever the backlight turns off and I turn it back on, the backlight is dim again.
I have tried renaming the \HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel folder to LockLevelx - this has not worked.
I have tried setting \HK:M\Drivers\Builtin\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 - this has not worked.
Help please!
Do you have this problem all the time or you can see this misbehaviour just now?
I'm asking, because this could be caused by some other software you installed on your device,
which does some "things" with the backlight or some call manager like PhotoContacts etc.
This happens all the time. It does not happen after I soft reset the device until I use the phone. As soon as I use the phone the backlight turns off and is dim whenever I turn it back on.
- Are you running some "cooked" unofficial ROM?
- if you are using HTC Home, try to deactivate it, just choose some different homescreen schema but not HTCHome, make a soft-reset a try it.
- check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\LockLevel - this should have the value 0
- running standard ROM
- deactivating HTC Home doesn't help
- LockLevel is set to 0
This periodically happens on my device too. And it's really, really annoying. I found that one way to make it go back to 'normal' for a while is to change both lock levels (in locklevel and locklevelx to value 1) then back to level 0 (including the waiting and the soft resets) and then it seems to go back to normal again.
what seems to set it off for me is using the call history to dial a number, but this is sporadic.
Thank you Marissa and Hujer. Unfortunately both your suggestions have not worked.
I have had the same problem. What helped in my case is deleting locklevel and locklevelx from the registry and then soft reset. Worked for me!!
Thanks Tim B but that did not work either. If I soft reset my device OR delete locklevel & locklevelx and soft reset, then the backlight comes back on at the correct level of brightness....until I make and end my first telephone call - then the backlight only comes back on dim. By the way if I delete locklevel, it stays deleted until I make and end my first call - then it's in the registry (with value 0) again.

Exact same happens to me, using Bepe 64 rom. Real pain in the neck.
Possible workaround
This sounds very much like the same problem Trinity users have faced since that device was released. Try searching the Trinity Forums. There was a reg fix...something to do with "fast off" or similar.
The workaround there was, after the phone call, to press the power key to put the device into standby, and then when it wakes the next time the backlight is restored. Try that anyway.
No luck with this either.
I now have the same problem. My earlier solution (delete locklevel and locklevelx) is not working anymore. There must be someone who knows how to solve this.
I am willing to do a hard reset but then I will have the problem again that after turning the phone on when it is locked the display is not readable.
Any good solutions??

Exact same happens to me, using official rom.
I had to do a double reg edit, try this which is what I use:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Sleep"=dword:00000000
Reboot!
Thanks but that didn't work either.
Just to be clear I do not mind the backlight staying on, dimming or turning off during a call but when I press "Call End", the backlight dims (which I do not want) and if the backlight turns off after a call it is dim when I turn it back on (which I also do not want).
Did anyone find a solution to this?
Have tried all the things on here, and some work for a little while, but then the problem reoccurs
Wow, this is so strange. Mine comes back on at the same brightness level.
You all are experiencing the same thing as Marisa?
It is an odd problem because it seems that it occurrs all of a sudden out of the blue.
One time you make/receive a call and afterwards, even if the call was only a few seconds, you terminate it and the screen either is already dim or then dims and will stay dim unless you hit a backlight changer. Even then, if you lock the phone, or the phone dims after your prescribed time, it then stays dim. The only way to temporarily fix it is to set it to the normal level and then soft reset. It will then behave properly until the next phone call.
It is very inconvenient as if it locks while this is going on, you can hardly see to unlock it.
I have trawled the internet for hours looking for solutions to this. The Kaisertweak does not work for this on this device (don't know why!) Installed Schapps but the very tweaks I need do not appear when installed on my device.
All the registry edits don't work. In fact when I go to do them, the value is already at the recommended value anyway. Renaming locklevel seems to work sometimes for a while, but then reverts back.
I think it is more a problem of undimming than dimming. It dims when I expect it to dim, but does not light up again afterwards. The Kaiser solution of pressing the power button or d-pad to do this does not work on the Orbit.
I have a fairly non scientific feeling that it's something to do with either Shell, Pontui or Co-Pilot. I have uninstalled Shell & Pontui, but it has made no difference. Makes no difference either if HTC Home is/isn't installed/running.
Another strange thing is that when it is in its dimmed state, I only have to touch the page where the backlight slider is for the light to come back up. I don't need to touch the slider at all, it's already where it should be, 3/4 of the way up.
In fact I have done the registry tweak which is supposed to stop it dimming during calls altogether, and checked to see that it 'took' and it is still happening.
Somewhere, there must be a registry key or somesuch which controls what happens after this "temporary" dimming, which says, the call is over/the device is unlocked - go back to prescribed brightness. But I can't find it.
This is a really insidious problem which drives you mad, especially when you are out and working, you don't have time for this nonsense. If all else fails in a week or so I will try a hard reset, i just don't have time right now.
Any help gratefully received.
I have just emailed O2 with this problem. Let's see when/if they reply.
Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange problem with my Tornado (i-mate SP5, WM6 Platinum Edition). Today it stopped working suddenly, I had to remove the battery. When rebooting, the i-mate sceen appears, then the HTC logo, then Nitrogenius' splashscreen, then a beep sounds, and afterwards the screen is black and nothing happens, no keys are responding. I can "switch off" the phone by long pressing of the power key. Reset with pressing the 2 soft keys and the starting key does not work, the phone starts until the splashscreen and afterwards the screen goes black. Strangely I can connect the phone with activesync, synchronize contacts and calendar and even explore the device with activesync's filemanager; and the battery is charging, too.
Any suggestions except reflashing?
Regards

Thanks for the hint, I tried, but unfortunately I seem to miss something. Could you elaborate a bit how you managed to switch on backlight.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: It worked! You made my day!
After pressing the keys you mentioned (and some others, too) and after rebooting again the backlight is on again. Thanks a lot!
I met the same problem in many cases and I found the culprit, it is tornadolowlight or tornadopowercontrol. while these appli are activating if I soft reset or by force restart (removing battery) then next startup will get a blank screen. But actually in this case the device is on and working only thing is its backlight is off. So, by using a torch light or simply using MyMobiler from a pc you can see the screen, and start that culprit appli then done
OR another thing I have done is I put shortkey for MultiFlashLight and whenever such situation happened I just press the shortkey and activated it and done
It just happened suddenly. It was all fine, then I just wake the device from stand-by (sleep) mode, and I was not able to see anything on the screen. I tried pressing the power button a few more times, then I realized that actually the display is there but it is so dim that one cannot see anything. (It was barely visible even in dark place).
Another thing which I saw that the key lights (Green call and red end button) are also not lighting up when pressed, but lights for seconds when the device is restarted.
1 thing I found is (see attachment):
I cannot move the slider to any point.
What could have caused this problem and what is the solution?
I flashed a ROM about 24 hrs ago, and everything was fine at that time.
take a look at the registry
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight and try changing the values there.
with MyMobiler this should work.

Thank you very much.
That actually worked. It was "Stopped" and I changed to "Start" and it was fine again.
Thanks man once again...
