Hi to everyone!
First of all a big thank you to all of you! You have been of great help with different situations I had my several Smartphone.
I will call for your help once more, and any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
I have using my s710 with no major issues so far (or, issues that I ws unable to take care of with some of your help), but since 2 days ago it started doing something strange: the external keypad backlight won't turn off.
The screen backlight turns off on the specified time, and it also goes off (completely black) properly also, and the internal QWERTY keyboard as well (it turns the backlight off along with the screen one), but the external keypad ramains on, sometimes completely, and other times, dimmer than usual (the difference seems to be random, and if it goes dimmer, it goes to normal and back to dim regularly).
I have already tried different power settings, incluiding the light sensor on and off, with the same result. Also, I have resetted the phone to factory settings, but the situation remains the same.
I went through the Registry saerching for a setting, but I was unable to find anything.
Maybe some of you had this issue before, or knows a reg key I missed and can give me some assistance on this.
Nest step would be open the device to see if this has to do with the hardware, but I really prefer to run out of other options before going that way.
Once again, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Grazie mille per il link, per fortuna parlo l' italiano abbastanza bene
Now, back to english for other users benefit:
Thank you for the link!
I have downlaoded and installed the app, and the blinking seems to be gone. However, when the backlight of the screen goes off, the the keypad backlight goes dimmer, but stays on.
Any other ideas?
Hy! after almost two years of using my Vox, I encountered the same problem since 2 days ago. Please let me know if you got your problem resolved and how. I flashed a couple of Rom-s but neither have effect for this keypad back light isssue. So did you managed to find out what is causing this or how to resolve? Awaiting for answers Cheers from Romania
Hi Blacksto! I must say that the issue seems to be almost gone now. The lkeypad light is almost all the time off when it's supossed to, and when is on, it is very dim. I got used to it I guess... I don't think that it is being caused by software anyway. My guess that this is being caused by the light detector. If you find anything out, please post it!
ok, I disabled that option to not charge during connection, meantime I flashed my vox again, that helped, because now its not on all the time but it somekinda blinks when it wants to... I,m trying to flash it one more time to see if it helps. also i disassembled my phone with the help of the service manual, cleaned it, but no help over here. be back with more news.
I found the same problem yesterday. I can't turn it off anyway. Any new sugestions?

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 have a 4155 that has developed the following problem: most of the times it doesn't turn on correctly. I press the power button, I see the backlight coming on but the screen stays grey (blank). Eventually I can get it back on, but only after performing a hard reset, then many, many soft resets (anywhere between 10 and 30). Then it works again for a little while, and the whole thing happens again.
The only way to avoid it is to have the screen stay on all the time, i.e. keep it plugged in and have it not turn off while on AC. If I allow the screen to turn off, chances are I'll have to do the whole reset procedure again, and it takes up to 30 minutes each time. It doesn't matter at all how well charged the battery is, and it even does it if I allow the screen to turn off while plugged in.
Of course in its present state it's just a little more than a paperwewight, not a PDA. I know that underneath it works correctly, just the display has this weird bug. I opened it up and poked inside, put it back together - no change. Does anyone have any idea? I'd really, really like to make this work again.
Thanks for any help!
(I should mention that I flashed the ROM once: I got it cheap off eBay because it was the French language version, and I flashed it with the English ROM. Worked like a charm for many months, then it developed the problem above. Don't think it's related to flashing, but thought I'd mention it anyway)
Bump. .
Hi,
after upgrading to WM 6.1 a first while everything was ok. But after a while suspending didn't work - when pressing the power switch nothing happens. After about an hour the display goes black and I can't get the pda to work any more without a soft reset. But when I receive a phone call or an sms, the display gets bright again and I can continue working.
Do you know how to fix that?
Thank you in advance!!
is it a ROM issue? the ROM you installed might be helpful to some here.
Hi,
I tried the original O² (German) Rom, the newest O² (German) Rom and the newest "Kitchen" - no matter what Rom I choose the problem still persists
I just detected the source of the problem: The powerswitch doesn't work any more - I can't event turn the device on or off by pressing it.
I don't want to send it back because that needs so much time and I don't have any replacement for the 3-4 weeks it need.
Do you have any ideas what else I can try (without endanger the warrenty)?
Thank you so much in advance!
You know I never use that button. Used to use it regularly when I first got the phone but not anymore. However, is there a way to turn on the phone without that button. I would send it back in but might be worth to see if any other guys here have ideas.
power button issues
got the same problem with my orbit 2, the power button has gone west. pain in the rear as it drains the battery fast, even with the backlight off. anyone any ideas for a fix, would rather not be without my phone for any length of time
cheers

The other day, I hit the power button on my touch pro, and the screen didn't come on. I did a soft reset, and it started working again. Now today, the same thing is happening, but a soft reset isn't helping.
The screen's back light comes on, the LEDs on the buttons come on, and the phone seems to be working fine. I hear all the sounds, including the HTC sound while it is booting, and the new message sound, but the screen stays black. It still recognizes touches, it just doesn't show an image. I want to do a hard reset, and will if I can get it to come one one more time, but its been about a month since I backed up my contact list. Lesson learnt there. I'm afraid it might be a hardware problem since I don't see anything while its booting either.
Anyone know if this is a known hardware issue with the touch pro? The phone is less then 3 months old, and I've been real careful with it. I haven't dropped it from more then 2 feet, and even that was onto carpet. Its the Verizon version if that makes a difference, and I'm running one of the NFSFAN roms. Its not the newest one, but rather the one posted on October 19th. I doubt its the rom, though, as I've been using it for around 2 months with no issues.
EDIT: Ok, I went into the bootloader to see if it was hardware of software. I figured if it was hardware, the screen would be black, and if it was software, it would be the rainbow. Sure enough, the screen stayed black. Hit the reset button, and the screen actually came on! Go figure. Went to do a backup, and the screen literally crapped out on me while I was watching it. Definitely a hardware problem.
similar with Touch HD... kinda
I've been having a similar problem with my Touch HD. The problem is very intermittent though and is sometimes hard to reproduce. The screen and phone will be working fine then once in a while when I push the power button to lock the phone, I'll unlock it and the screen stays black. I know that the phone is still on and even unlocked because pushing the buttons at the bottom makes the phone vibrate. The only consistency in reproducing the problem happens after I do something major on the phone such as making a phone call, browsing the internet, sometimes charging the phone. Other than that, I can sit here and push the power button all day and it'll come on and off with no problems. When the screen does go black I've taken the battery out repeatedly as well as repeatedly rebooted the phone until it comes back on. I've tried doing hard and soft resets to no avail. I've tried deactivating "turn off backlight if device is not used for" and "turn off device if not used for" without any resolve. After this I've even left the screen on (disabled backlight off) to see if it flickers or shows any sign of being faulty and it seems to be fine. I'm currently on Dutty's HD WM 6.5 Leo R5 WWE rom, but this has happened with two other roms (NRG, LIA). Other info include:
OS: 5.2.23016
Manila: 2.519192828.0
Radio: 1.14.25.24
Protocol: 52.64.25.34H
I guess the only consistent software has been my radio. Please help! Any advice would be awesome. I've tried google search and xda search without much help. Thanks
Hello everyone. I wasn't sure where to post this issue so hopefully this is the right place.
I own a HTC Diamond 2 clone I purchased from ebay. It has WM 6.1 installed. Everything works just fine except for a backlight problem I can't control. Unfortunately when I manually turn off the screen or when the phone actually dims the screen to complete black for inactivity it somehow turns itself back to full brightness after 2 seconds. I've tried everything in the settings but nothing helps. I've made sure there are no applications running that could be initiating it to turn on. I'm at a total loss...and my battery dies within hours obviously since it won't stop turning itself on.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Any ideas? Please help i'm desperate.
Thanks
