small problem, i'd appreciate the help

After a crazy night im having a couple of small problems w/ my tilt.
1:when i hold the power button and it asks me if i wanna turn it off (i click yes) it just resets instead of turning off.
2:the backlight for the buttons up in front (windows, ok, iexplorer, msgs, and the soft keys) just doesnt want to turn off no matter what i do whether the screen is off or on it just stays on.
3:when i try to turn on the cube that l26 wm6.1 comes w/ i just get a black screen and flash lite turns on but the cube doesnt appear.
These arent critical issues but id appreciate ur help
p.s. i tried a hard reset and it didnt help, should i try flashing another rom

I'm not sure about the problems you're having as i didn't have any of those problems with mine. I would recommend that you check out Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19199 UC RTM. I've been using it for awhile and i'm loving it.

Or try to ask these question in the thread connected to the rom u are using.

I assume you're talking about the long power press key. What do you think would happen when your device is powered off? Of course it's turned off and when you turn it back on, it's going to boot up the device. Want a different behavior? Try a short press and it'll just turn off the screen instead.
That is weird. Got me stumped.
Hope this helps!

im trying to turn it off completely w/ the long press power key like it is suppose to and i get the little warning:"Power will be turned off, and you may lose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?" but instead of powering off i get a soft reset.

Wow, that is weird
Hmm, not sure if the default button behavior changed from WM6.0 to WM6.1, but you could always check by flashing back down to WM6.0...

well ill try that but it was working in 6.1 for about a week so it might be something hardwarish hopefully not but well see. no thoughts about #2 though? cuz thats the thing that is really bugging me.

ill actually try your new rom first cuz i see that theres a power off option in the quick link so hopefully that works if not ill try going back to 6.0

I have the long press power button assigned to an application though. If when choosing 'power off device' still resets insted of turning off your device, I'm completely stumped to what your problem is, as you've now flashed your OS back to WM6.0 and my ROMs include 1.27.14.09 radio...

ok so when i flashed back to your rom the power issue still exists but the buttons lighting up and not turning off is finally gone . i think the power issue has something to do w/ the battery cuz it acted up after the flash twice (it would say battery low even though it was at 100% and then it would just soft reset and it would be fine) so ill get another battery in the coming days and if thats the problem then fine if not ill have a spare battery anyway so its a win win

Also clean off the battery contacts (phone and battery). If necessary with something mildly abrasive.
Mike

well i solved the thing that was bugging me most which was the fact that the buttons backlight wouldnt turn off. the power thing isnt that big of a deal.
thnx alex i appreciate the help

AT&T Tilt Does Not Get Power & Does Not Boot After ROM Installation

First of all thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide me.
A while back I installed Alex.v52.ATT.162.Cube.ROM located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363865 and all was working as expected. I decided to install Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_64.08.21_CubeV2_ ROM located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388947 but upon completion all I got was the boot screen. Rebooting did not help so I reinstalled the Alex rom. Upon completion of the installation process of the Alex rom, the phone tried to reboot but nothing happened. It just stayed off. I tried to hard reset and nothing. When connecting to the computer and the power adapter, the charging light does not come on. I tried to change the battery and nothing helps. At this point I am out of things to try so I am posting in hopes someone has had this issue and was able to recover the phone.
Please note that I created a separate thread for this since the Alex rom thread was discontinue and Dutty is no longer supporting the Kaiser.
Thanks!!!!

[edit] sorry, my advice wount deffently not help you here. Just saw that I adviced on another issue.

Did you at all revert from HardSPL? b/c i assume you had it at one time since you flashed alex's rom earlier.

thanks for the post skat's. Nah man i didn't know about that. I have been completely away from phone/internet for the past 2 weeks so didn't have any link to the cyber world. Just got back on yesterday and really hadn't have time to comb through everything i missed so far.
That is a bummer but i guess thats his to decide. I don't plan on getting a diamond but i hope he will cook for touch pro when that comes out.

zeezee: The phone had HardSPL v1 and I did not do anything to update or change it.

One thing I did notice when I removed the battery and used a friend's phone to test if it was working was that it was at 40% and I know that when installing a ROM it calls for the battery to over over 50%. Could this have caused the issue. I did charge it to 100% afterwards and put it back on the phone with no success.

Unplug the device, remove the battery, take a nap (longer the better), replace the battery, then try powering it again, i had the same thing happen to me when i tried to cooking a ROM, scared the crap out of me. Thought i bricked my phone. but it came back to life after the cycle. You have to make sure that all the juice is gone from the unit, just changing the battery may not have enough time to discharge it, also make sure that the sim door is close and there is no SD card installed, after i got it to turn on i had to flash my device with a SD card cause the USB didn't work.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck

No luck!
Thanks everyone for your input but none of the suggestions worked. I guess next step is to put it up on ebay for parts

Were in the same boat

Camboy06 please do let me know if you find a solution. I only had my Kaiser for a month or so. This obviously hasn't happened to many folks so finding a solution wont be easy.
Thanks!

Try This
Holding the 2 soft keys and pressing the reset button. If not that try holding the camera button and pressing the reset button.

Happened to me too last night. Similar anyway. I was using skype and charging my phone from the charger then it just stopped charging. I soft reset and it still didn't work. Hard reset and that didn't work. The USB port is dead. I'm going to try flashing from the SD card. Maybe that will flash I'm sure but we'll see if it fixes my problem.

(problem) restaring loops

hello guys, i recently upgrade my two friends kaisers from there stock att rom to anryls 21202 6.5 builds, i follow the wiki to the last letter, but both kaisers are experiencing some odd problem, both kaisers after a month or so of been upgrade started to go onto a infinite restart loop, both went till the today screen and imitiatly(typos galor) restart they did this loop until both batteries were dead, i recommende them to leave the battery out from the devices for a night or so, they both did and after that both phones rebooted normaly and performed normaly foe about 2 weeks, after this time the infinite restart loop started again, im out of ideas here guys, if anyone can help out i would greatly apreciated.

Just reflash to a better build! Sometimes kooked ROM can do that after a period of time!

I had a somewhat similar problem. What worked for me was flashing the latest HTC ROM for the AT&T Tilt (flash whichever ROM is recommended for the Kaiser from HTC) and then re-flashed a cooked 6.5. Dunno why 6.5 has that issue, but flashing an HTC ROM helped mine. I now run TPC Elite 3.1 without any problems.

i know that lol, but restaring loops mean that something might be wrong with the onboard power supply chip or the battery its self, il try soberguy's solution, anyways thanks for both reply's appreciated.

I freaked at first, too. I couldn't get the damn phone to do anything, no matter what I tried. In a fit of rage it almost hit the wall. I spent hours frantically reflashing all the ROMs I could find, to no avail. Flashing over to the official HTC ROM, and then reflashing TPC Elite 3.1 did the trick!
I'm positive you'll be fine and there's no actual hardware issue with your device.

The devices are not mine xD, the two kaisers are from some friends of mine, i own a touch pro , im still trying to contact them both and tell them to do the oem rom flashing thing, but haven't got a hold of them, i will soon though.

Its probably a memory leak that is causing, sometimes kooked ROM's tend to do that. Just use a different ROM.

I had a similar problem sometime ago, coupled with random key presses. After reflashing, installing HardSPL again and whatnot, I found that the problem was humidity ...
I lived in Bangladesh. Holding the phone close to the AC and keeping it out of my pocket during the humid season fixed it. Dont know if it is the same for your friends ...

Allergic to root? HOS keeps pressing buttons on its own

Hi there, I hope you guys can help me out on this.
I just got my HOS a few days ago and it was all good.
Rooted it after 1 day, everything was fine.. at first.
Played a few games, installed themes and so on. After a few hours, my HOS began to vibrate out of nowhere and apps started here and there, menu opens on its own and all that stuff. It was out of control xD
I then saw that theres an update available. Flashed stock recovery and unrooted it. Afterwards, I installed 1.78. Still unrooted, downloading most of my Apps again, works flawless. Gaming(specially Temple Run xD) is smooth.
Yesterday, I decided to root it again. At first no problems at all.
Just now on the train, playing Temple Run again, my HOS started going crazy, vibrating all the time as if it is pressing buttons on its own and I see the phone doing all kinda stuff(opening new apps, browsing thru home screen etc xD).
Has anyone else expierenced something similar? I have no idea where its coming from and it really annoys the hell out of me.
Right now I'm on TrickDroid v3.1 (wiped system/data/dalvik/cache before flashing)
Kernel: 3.0.8-01136-g9d2ad32
Baseband: 0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L
Build: 1.70.666.1 CL52668

That really is strange !!! Its as if root contains some sort of poltergeist
I would have imagined a factory reset would have cleared it up, But in your case it didnt....
Have you tried an alternative rooting method ?

Nope, I did not. Always used the All-In-One Toolkit, except for when I flashed Trickdroid, since it comes rooted.
Is it ok if I unroot the HOS with Rootkeeper(is this just temp. unroot?) and then root it again with Superboot?
Unbranded HOS bought in Germany, if that matters. Also, no other recovery works for me except Intermin, CWM just won't boot for me.

that is weird...
Unlocking the bootloader was successful right ?
I dont understand why your phone is rejecting software lol.. Oh and I didnt know root keeper can unroot ive never used it..
how i got root was by flashing paul obriens recovery and then the root package zip file.. I did this on day one and have never had any issues at all.. Ive tested every single ROM and every single recovery lol..
Make a nandroid in recovery and just test out different methods and try get this issue fixed. If you have any issues just restore the nandroid..

Check your phone for remote access apps, maybe you got hacked. Most of those require root to function. Also check your google account for which IPs logged in and check the password recovery options for weird emailadresses and phonenumbers...
Ars has a writeup on hardening your android device, not very technical but some good stuff there. http://arstechnica.com/security/201...-smartphone-against-stalkers-android-edition/

Forget whatever i wrote.
My HOS registers my thumb, even tho I'm not touching it at all. If I'm like 5mm away from the screen, it registers it as if I'd touched it. My gf also has a HOS and it acts only if I touch the screen.
I also noticed that the hotter my HOS gets, the distance increases at which it recognized my "touch".

The distant screen touch has happened on my uprooted tmo us HOS. I've also experienced some craziness out of the device. I've kept it stock, no unrooting/rooting going on.
I was thinking an exchange with HTC cause I also have excessive battery drain and wavy lines in the screen but now I also have an awesome cracked screen too :-\
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA

i also dont need to touch my screen to select something
I just hover my finger over the app, real close to the screen and it selects it...
I guess we have special powers

i also dont need to touch my screen to select something

Same here.

lets keep this quiet, We dont want people to know we are superhuman...

Boot Loop To Factory Reset to Nothing now Please Help!

Hi HTC inspire users,
I have a HTC inspire 4g on AT&T that was purchased around last year of March that has never been rooted (too worried about rooting), and a few weeks ago(just found this forum), my phone, to my belief, updated by it self over night. The next morning I found my phone not working at all, and was not able to start up to the home screen. However, the screen was black and lit and kept going through a boot loop. I freaked out, and asked for help on another forum (not phone related forum), and was told to turn off, and factory reset. I did this after removing the SD card so my personal data wasnt wiped. After I did the Factory reset, my phone continued to do the boot loop which has gotten me lost.
Ive been told to do a recovery from the menu by holding down the volume button while turning on the device. Even doing so my phone will not work.
Is there Any way possible to make the phone work again?
Thanks,
Matt

ok, pulling the sdcard to avoid deleting personal data is useless. When u do a factory reset all information is wiped except the sdcard..anyway, you have to flash this in fastboot usb.
To boot in fastboot you have to do this: pull the battery, then press volume down + power until you get a white screen with 3 androids at the bottom. Then press power to choose fastboot. Plug the phone to the PC and you should see fastboot usb in red in the cell. Run this exe file (is the official AT&T ruu):
http://dl4.htc.com/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
If you are not having a hardware issue, then the phone it should reboot normally when done.

Thanks Glevitan!
Ill give this a shot, if something pops-up ill be sure to ask.

Got it working Thanks Alot!!!
However, when i did do the process, i had issue where I couldnt get into the Fastboot menu.. However, I left the phone charging all day and it seemed to cure it. And then the first time I tried to flash the software, it didnt work, second time it had no issues. Could this mean something?
Edit:
After using my inspire 4g for awhile one thing that does not go away is the immense lag from the App Drawer, with no new programs from the market, but the Factory apps.

Att Firmware Is a buggy as all the others. It Is weird that You end up in boot loop being stock.....maybe there's something in the hardware that Is messed. Just try to use it and assess the bebaviour of the device for a while, then if nothing Is failing You can try root it and run a custom ROM.....
Glad to have it back....:laugh:
