Hello
I have Asus p535 Recently I have changed my PDA motherboard due to some problems. While doing That Asus gave me a free upgrade to WM6
Now after 2 months I have a peculiar probleem
My backlight does not turn up when I press the active button. Sometiomes it just flickers . Most of the time it does not turn up and I cannot use the phone
However the backlight turns on when I get an incoming call. Like wise when I do hard reset or soft rset it turns un until the windows mobile logo and goes off as soon as the Today screen turns up.
Sometimes like a mind of its own. The backlight will turn turn up normally and I can use my phone. Nowadays I have disabled turning backlight off and use the HOLD buttom to turn it off so once it turns on it remains on. However the problem still remains
To summarize in few lines
1>Backlight turns on when hard reset and reamijs till WINDOWS MOBILE logo appears and dims and turns off as soon as today screen is loaded
2>The backlight wont tuirn on with any input . Sometimes it just flickrs on and off
3<When i receive incoming call the backlight turns on and works normally
4>sometimes the backlight after flickering may turn on and the phone works perfectely for 3-4 days
I want yo ask few questions
1>Is this a hardware problem as i suppose it isnt coz phone works fine with incoming calls
2>If its a software problem is it BIOS related
3>If its software related do I need to reinstall WM6 and upgrade/ downgrade BIOS
4>Is this battery realted. however my battery does not drain fast inspite of it being 1300mah
5>My warranty is expired so any thing which can solve my problem with self help is appreciated
6> Should i upgrade to 6.1 or android as explained by some in these forums as i personally feel my problem to be wm6 related as many have complained of lock screens

Dissemble the pda and take LCD in your hand.
turn back the lcd and heat up the 2 way on the right side.
4 way is touch screen and 2 ways on the very right are lcd light.

Hi I recently received an xdaII with windows mobile 5 on it.
However the backlight wasn't working, even if I try to hold down the power button.
Also when I try vjeschaton to toggle it on or off (the other functions work) it doesn't work, could the phone be damaged or do I need to re do the rom somehow?
(ie the backlight auto switched off when the battery and backup battery went down but on recharge a bug prevented the light coming on again)
any ideas people?
further problems now, I have tried installing xda II rom Xda_II_172187_Final and its predecessor and unfortunately it wont work, its stuck at the
USB v1.06 message page it seems I have problems updating it, maybe due to vista maybe due to active synch maybe due to something else... any ideas?
Resoved the 1.06 Problem, looked like it was a vista/versioning problem with activesynch
But the backlight is STILL NOT WORKING!
I know the light function is being selected because the other buttons light up, just not the backlight for the LCD
anyone got any ideas?
sounds like the lcd backlight "lamp" died to me
Hi,
My VOX sometimes gets shutdown automatically. It happens at least once in two days. And whenever it shutsdown, I can feel that the handset has become slightly hot. I need to remove the battery and put it back to turn on the phone again.
But one strange thing I noticed is that, if the bluetooth was on when the phone went down, I can see the bluelight blinking even when the phone seems to be shutdown.
Do you guys know what could be causing this?
My Radio Version is 4..13.41_02.88.90 and OS is 5.2.1236 (Build 17741.0.2.1)
Thanks pals!
Sounds like it's over-heating possibly? If the BT LED is blinking blue, then the device is still on, I think you have some software that is either causing it to run at full load or causing a soft reset.
hum, maybe this has something to do with the problem already reported in some posts of some VOX's
the screen goes black, but the phone remains on
normaly if you wait a couple of seconds, and try to mess with the phone again, it will be alright,
sometimes i even have to remove the battery
some say the problem could be overheating as u say, but until now, i havent found any solution for this, i also am facing the same problem
Same problem for me when turning on the Wifi, but the phone turns off completly and the battery showing empty after turning the phone on, I have to remove the battery each time!
But when it's connected, my phone runs perfectly.
Maybe I have to change my battery, no?
I don't think in my case the phone is on (except for BT light blinking). Otherwise it should be in a big hung state where it is not able to respond to keyboards, power key or any interface at all.
Next time I encounter this problem, I will try calling my own number to see whether the radio is on.
I have been using this vox since last 8 months, but in the last couple of months I have encountered quite a lot of problems like radio repeatedly getting turned off, first call after restart hanging (not consistent but happens most of the time I restart the phone and try to make calls with in the first 20 seconds after bootup) etc.
Do you think an upgrade 6.1 would do any good?
Thanks again!!
I was having that problem too. I tried upgrading to WM6.1 and upgrading the radio, nothing worked. I sent it in and they replaced the mainboard, but now it seems to be worse. I just got it back though, so I haven't called them about it yet. I'm just looking around to see if it could be a battery issue.
My phone restart issue was mainly a hardware or loose contact issue. Once the phone fell down and after that whenever there was a long press on 0, * or # keys, the phone would restart.
After two days my phone fell down once again from my hand and this issue got resolved forever. Lucky me!
My S710 HTC original, shut down every day at 00.16. In the past was at 02.46, and I discover it since during my trip in asia I found the phone off.
More over the alarm is not reliable and cannot be used for this reason.
The following application are installed:
- Customisation from HTC for my operator TIM
- microsoft Office mobile upt
- pmCleanSP
- spWZTools
- Skype
- Tom Tom
HTC service told me to flash it with Rom update.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ok so I have a little problem with my HTC Diamond. In options I set to turn-off the backlight after 10s of inactivity which is standard. The problem is that after those 10s I can see that the screen backlight is fading out but it doesn't fade out completly - if you look from an angle it might appear that it's off but if you look at the front of the phone or simply in the dark you can see that the backlight is still on only set to something near 10 or 5%. As you know the battery just sucks in this device and I don't want the backlight to drain it so any ideas or tips on this matter? Of course I can put the phone to sleep mode but I'd just prefer to make the backlight turning off so I can take a look at the screen to for example check the time without having to press any buttons...
Same problem here
After those 10s the screen is not turning off completly, just fading to 5, 10 %. The screen with all the info, the home page let us say, is still visible and drains the battery. I also could just press the power button to turn is completly off, but I would also prefer it to do this manually after ten second.
Did you find a solution to this problem yet?
Help Battery Drain
Same thing here, and my Backlight is stuck to 100% i think,
anyone found a solution to this? any hints?
Guys, i assume youve set the "turn off device if not used for xxx mins" correctly whilst in battery and external power correctly?
If you have, what roms are you using as you give us no information to help any further
Hello,
I had the same problem with ROM 2.03.421.2, date 12/24/08.Back then I had SPB mobile shell installed and a very few applications and I couldn't find the problem. I made a hard reset so now, with nothing installed, the device also enters standby. You should take care because it is possible that the device is not entering standby either and it is making calls. When I had this problem my friends were complaining that I kept calling them and not talking. It is strange as I'm sure I put the device to sleep with the power button. But still, somehow, it was making calls...
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
Please read these threeds:
1. HTC Touch Diamond 2 and Standby of Death SOD
2. Sleep of Death (SOD)
3. [REF] "LOCKUP" issue on HD
My last post in above threads if you dont want to read all:
One more interesting thing!!!
I did not read anywhere this, when I expirience SOD and constantly pressing power then home than power again, repeat that three steps few times, screen comes on and I have up side down picture of everything but not touch just lcd.
If anybody understand me. Touch reacts as normal orientation but lcd displays up side down picture - manila tabs are up but when I swipe finger down they react in reverse if I swipe to right tabs going left
Then I again press power button to go to standby and again to wake device and then it is normal everything works.
I repeated this 4 times.
This would mean that SOD is caused by graphics driver ???
Is anybody reading this ???
==================================================================================
Device is Touch HD T8282 from Orange, bought in London if it means something.

I read it but don't know what it's about
Thanks for reading, SOD you dont know, or cause of sod ?
Lucky you, I wish you to never have one on your devices
==========================================================
I maby solved my SOD with this:
Cab to remove Neo's Driver Pack.http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=261582&d=1262082158
Last night I nistalled this, and til now no SOD
I will report back later.
If I am right SOD on all devices is caused by graphics driver startup or resume after standby, result is black screen but device is working.
Hm it is till now, half solved
device did not gone to SOD until I charged it for 15 minutes on usb of my laptop.
Then screen was dimmed and after soft reset it did not turn on, until I removed battery once.
Now it works without SOD, everything is normal but I will try charging again later to see is it going to repeat dimming.
i'm so tired of this piece of ****...
i just wanna know if it is hardware so i can get it over with it...
i try lots of roms, even get back to original rom and radio, task 29, this Mikenificent BlackStone TestDrivers.cab, that mnet_blackstone_stock_3d_driver.cab...nothing...
SOD did not happened when connected to PC via USB...
P.S.
SOD doesn't happened when connected to pc via USB cable, even when power button is pressed and screen is off...
when turn on, no problem....
"Device is Touch HD T8282 from Orange, bought in London if it means something."
