Hey,
I used BuildOS to make a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for my Apache. Now, though, the backlight stops working after several hours. In other words, I can only see the contents of the screen if I hold the phone under a bright light. A soft reset doesn't fix this, but a hard reset does, albeit only for a few hours.
What could be the problem?
Thanks,
Dan
Never mind...dummy here.
I didn't realize that pushing and holding the power button turns the backlight on and off.

The Touch No Evil screen come up and then it stays at the same screen. It does not respond even to power button now.
The radio light (green light) blinks. The system does not respond to even hard reset.
I am tosed. Please help. Any response to recover from this situation is usefull.
Thanks in advance...
From the sounds of it, something you have installed or configured isn't allowing the phone to finish booting. You basically have 2 choices at this point... Hard Reset or Reflash the phone.
When you say hard reset doesn't work, are you sure you are doing a hard reset? Pull the battery out and let the phone rest for a minute or so. Press the power button a couple of times (yes with the battery out) to discharge any power in the device. Then put the battery back in, and press the top two buttons on either side of the phone (Comm and Record), and while holding those in press and release the power button. After a couple of seconds you should have a black screen with white text asking you about resetting the phone. Press the Send key (the green phone key that you use to answer the phone) and you will have completed the Hard Reset. If you get errors then you need to tell us what they are. If you never get the black screen with white writing then you aren't holding the buttons down correctly.
To reflash the phone, put it in bootloader (press and hold the recorder button while pushing in and releasing the reset button (or while turing the phone on)). Once you get the tri color screen, hook up the USB cord and it should say USB in the lower left. Now you can flash it (even though the phone won't connect to ActiveSync).
Good luck and hope that helps.
Able to reboot
Thanks for the advise. After several tries, was able to hard reset and started booting and working OK.
I have not done any soft reset after this event. What should I look for to correct, if any errors.?. do you recommend that I reflash the ROM?. The only software, I had installed was Microsoft Voice recorder. I have not installed the same after the reboot.
Thanks
ANother issue
Now after resetting, I see my phone getting into vibration mode all the time. Even if I set to ring mode, it will automatically go back to vibration mode after some time. Any idea on how to fix the same?.
Thanks
I installed the latest SensorLock version, it worked normally till today. My TP didn't respond with any gesture and TP screen always lock, even on external power, I have to reset to unlock my phone. And another issue, but I don't know it caused by Sensorlock or not, when I turn off my TP by Power button, the screen turn off and then immediately wake up few seconds before completely goes off. Any suggestion? Thanks.
Hi
My 750v has these quirks
- when i want to put on standby by pressing red button, the screen goes away but lit after several seconds. No matter how may times I press it again it goes away and lit back again. Only when I soft reset, would the screen stay unlit when I press it.
- when I activate the Today screen the touchpad locked message appears. It takes a longer time for the message to go away when when I press the center button.
Mine is stock Palm ROM WM 6.0 from the corporate site. And I don't have a lot of apps on it.
Advise?
Turn your device brightness to 50% or above. It's a well known WM bug....
So I've had my fuze a little over a year now, no major issues. Used mostly energyroms, but about December time I switched back to a simple non-bloated stock rom for the stability.
Anyway today at work I was texting, and I press the power button to put the phone in standby. And the screen remains on and usable. I tried again and it would not go into standby (power button physically feels normal, it does not feel loose or abnormal.) So i let it sit for a few minutes, then i look at it and a message poped up asking if i wanted to turn the phone off (like as if i was holding the power button)so i press no, then it comes up again a few seconds later and aagain and again. So I soft reset the phone.
The phone resets but takes a LOT longer at the att/htc splashscreen, then it hangs at the htc screen and does not make it to the wimo screen, but instead an error screen saying:
"The device is unable to boot because you have either turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an applicationa from an untrusted source, press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to cancel..."
I think it went through the hard reset this time because when it restarted it asked to calibrate the screen and install stuff. it resets again sometime after that, still takes forever at the splash screen and comes back up to the error, only this time no matter what button i press it wont go away and boot into wimo. It seems like none of my buttons work (they wont light up now) when i slide out the keyboard, it is not lit up like normally.
And heres the kicker, my only way to turn on/off the phone is to take out/put in the battery. As soon as I pop the battery back in the fuze turns on. Is my phone toast? Ive tried to hard reset and the phone does not reach the bootloader, it goes straight to the splash screen. Same with trying to reflash it from my comp, raphealwrapper cannot find my phone.
I've only recently encountered the exact same problem on my Touch Pro, but stock ROM and everything. As far as I can tell, our power buttons are busted and probably need to be serviced. One of the contacts must be stuck in the 'on' position somewhere inside :\ As a temporary fix, I've been using AEButton Plus and remapped double tap end call key to turn the screen off, and removing the stylus to turn it on.
Hi,
Just to make sure if I say turn out
i have a problem with my Surface RT (first generation) and i hope you can help me to solve it.
Sometimes the screen is black when i wake my surface from standby with the power button. It still works i know because if i wipe up to down the little camera LED turns on and i get an feedback from the windows button. Only the screen stays black.
There is also an Problem with the IE the menu (tabs, address bar,... ) sometimes stay black. And if I turn the surface off (standby) with the powerbutton and wake it up again, I have the problem descripted above.
Solution: hold the powerbutton until the surface is power off and restart it.
Other solution: Go to Desktop, hold the Taskbar and open the Taskmanager. When it opens the screen becomes black for a few seconds and then everything is fine.
Problem with the latest solution is that I need to check the Taskmanager every time I want to standby my surface.
Cause: I noticed that the problem happens only after I played a game (AOE Castle Siege, AC Unity Companion,...)
I hope you can help me to find the real cause of the problem and how to solve it
