Updated to Ranju's. Straight afterwards I've installed a few apps - opera, newsgater pro, flash and vijay555 (torch app).
Now I'm finding I can't stream 3gp from sites such as youtube. Also for some strange reason my device keeps setting the screen brightness level to 0. Happened a few times in very intense sunlight so I didn't care. Happened a few times at work which is annoying, but I won't be able to use my phone if it happens in the dark.
Only pattern I've noticed is that the phone seems to be doing it sometimes when turning it off powersave mode by holding the power or backlight button.
I think I've realised why 3gp downloads won't play - somehow my security certificates on my phone seem to be screwed - possibly as a result of getting down to around 200k of free memory. Time for a reflash it looks like.
Anyone got any ideas about the backlighting?
any way to get the certification back with out re-flash?

Hi
I had same problem when I changed the wktask settings.
I think that is the problem...
Hi guys, I find this quite annoying and wish there is a mod for this. I don't know about other HTC Touch Pro owners but i find my fone quite sensitive.........it's "EASILY" turned on by a single "SHORT" press of the power button.
I didn't even hold it for 1 second, if i suddenly press or tap on it really quick, for not even a second, it turns on.
In case ppl don't understand and tell me that maybe my fone was on in the first place but just have the backlight off, and with a single tap on the power button, the backlight goes back on again. I knew that already. But what the problem really is, is that it's totally off, and when i tap the power on button, it turns on, i.e it vibrates and shows the welcome screen and all that other startup animation.
Is there a way to increase the delay of the finger-press on the power button? Coz it's so annoying that it gets turned on when i don't want it to, especially since this fone's weakness is that it hogs battery even though i've already applied tons of tweaks etc to lower the performance and increase battery life......
Oh and i have another problem, i find the signal kinda weak, is there a program or tweak to increase the signal?? Coz on my old phone Sony Ericsson W950i, the signal is great and I never have bad signal problems with it. But using HTC Touch Pro, i have this problem. This only happens when i'm at Uni, but it's not like they have bad reception or signal blockers there like how schools or colleges have. Just that when i'm inside buildings and there're tons of other buildings around, i can't send the txt coz of bad signals and it's bloody annoying, but using my W950i works fine.....
also I noticed that when i type a txt message using the hardware keyboard, it seems to fail to send most of the time, but only when i'm in UNI. But if i switch to the software keyboard, the one that you use ur fingers or stylus, then when i send the message it often works compare to using hardware keyboard.......any ideas?
Problem No 1: Try Touch Lock Pro
Problem No 2: Try to burn the newest RadioROM.
thx but i'm not trying to lock my phone, so i don't think TouchLock Pro is what i need.......
My Raphael turns also on after pressing the power button for a little few moment. With touchlock Pro you can prevent that you mistake your Raphael. I hope you can understand what I write in my "own" english
Ok so i've got it installed now and went through all the settings but couldn't find anything that can delay the power-on button press, I still have this problem. The app is a screen-lock app, there aren't any options regarding to power-on delays.......
plz tell me what settings etc to use.
I've never said that you can fix your problem with TouchLock Pro. With this you prevent to use your Raphael when you press your power button accidentally.
ya but that's only useful when my fone is on and it locks the phone but i'm trying to prevent my fone from turning on in the first place if i accidentally press the power on button for not even 1 second, because then it will turn on and i don't want that.
same problem here...the phone I thought I had turned off was back on, because accidently it got touched by something else in my luggage.
The only solution which to me is unsatisfactory, is to take out the battery so that it cannot power up.
C'mon...there has to be a better solution than this, no???

wow yay finally someone else other than me also report having the same problem, boy am i glad to know that i'm not the only one having this problem, i thought it was just something wrong with my fone and not all HTC Touch Pros....
i can't believe there aren't any results on Google, no forum discussions or solutions to this whatsoever. Also, nobody seemed to report this problem or come up with a solution on XDA as well as other forums i use like PPCgeekz or WMusers etc.........which is odd considering how this problem is quite annoying, that if u suddenly power on the fone by accident, it can drain battery life and god knows HTC Touch Pro has a crap battery life.............
I think that htc has done a bad job testing the powerbutton on the tp2.
There are some other things like weith, thikness and batterylife that could be improved but the powerbutton issue is realy a BIG bug.
Why they didn't make a slidebutton or a timeout between push and activation?
A dobble tap on the powerbutton could also be a solution.
The next rom shoold have a improvement about this button.
People, please react on the powerbutten problem so someone can fix this.
Thanx

Leaving the Touch Pro (Raphael) for some minutes without battery will stop the clock. So, when you put back on the battery and power up the device, the clock will display the wrong time. The time when you remove the battery.
This is hardware related.
Can produced different symptoms though.
Facts Behind the Power Button
If take a look at the inside of the powerbutton, there are 2 points making contact when you press the button. If you press it, the software will recognize this and the screen will turn off.
If you press it long enough you'll get the "QuickShutdown" message.
But, if water/alchohol/liquid gets underneath the button, the 2 points may be making contact, because water/alcohol conducts.
The button is very weak. Due to this, it may not properly work if you have used it for a long time.
As a result, despite the fact that you hit hibernate/sleep/suspend on the hardware power button = yes, the screen fades to black. But IT IS STILL ON. That explains the battery being drained.
Solution:
Open the phone hardware. Clean the power button connector manually.

i heart everyone talking about the sleep of death and to be honest, i havent really experienced this, but i definatley do have an intermitent power on and off button problem on my touch pro 2.
i read on some other forum that it could possibly be the slider that is casuing the problem. but to be honest, the button its self feels fine and looks fineand when i does work it works a treat. i havent had any water damage done to it what so ever. so im not sure , i am new too all this self help mobile stuff. so please excuse my ignorance. Ive doen the usual hard reset, button works for a few hours then calls it a day. soft rest, was working up until this week. i cant get ot to boot up again, while fiddling with the batter and a power lead. but the power button is so intermitent its driving me nuts. id be so grateful if anyone could shine any form of light on this. thanks in advance
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant on Tmobile. Does anyone know how to turn off the screen when playing music in the background? When I hit the side button to turn off the screen, it turns off for a moment and turns back on again.
have you tried going to your home screen after you start the music app? Once on your home screen the app would be minimize and then your screen should time out automatically...
I am having the same problem on my Motorola Atrix. I have tried the default music player, winamp, vplayer and they all stop playing music when I try to put the phone in standby mode. Any solution or advice?
I find it hard to believe that this issue has not been resolved. I find it a very necessary setting to have for android to save battery power. Searched the internet with no solution yet. Please help. Thanks
This has happened a few times where I have the camera app and I am taking pictures and then all the sudden non of the touch screen buttons/controls for the camera work and the touch sensitive buttons at the bottom for back, home ect wont work. I literally cannot do anything with the phone except use the hardware button for power. However, I cant turn the screen off. All I can do is hold down the power button and turn off the phone...
Anyone else had this issue?
if you hit the power button while in the camera app, it locks everything. just click it again and everything will unlock
Interesting..... thanks! Didnt know that. I really appreciate it!
Took me a while to figure this out, too. If you look closely, there's a little lock icon on the screen. The power button toggles the lock.

What do you suppose this is for?

My guess is that you can keep the camera ready and in a pocket or in your hand to get that upcoming shot.
This feature nailed me, too, the first time I used the phone.
Then a week later it proved VERY handy when recording a video where I had to keep a deathgrip on the phone. Amusement park rides!
I'm new here so I can't post links yet. Just combine the following by removing spaces:
youtube . com / watch?v=8QFZqJ_32Qc
note: even with a deathgrip I gave myself a massive bloodpressure boost by holding my new phone like this.
So, I have never had this happen on other phones, and this is the first time it happened on my N5. I was standing in line at the bank, I had just put my phone in my back pocket while I was standing there, and I heard some music, and thought to myself "That's strange, I was just listening to this song" then I noticed it was coming from my back pocket. My music had started playing, and the last time I was listening to music on the actual phone was last night.
Has anyone had this happen?
Never had that happen to me before. Do you have any mods installed (Xposed or something) that would start an action when long pressing a volume button or anything like that?
By the way, I see you are from Stockton. I'm from Lodi. lol

Hey Neighbor. LOL
Yeah I have gravitybox installed, but no settings that look like they would cause that. and I just tried holding the volume buttons, and nothing, I do have it set to skip tracks, but that's it.

The only thing I can think that would do that is if you had the music controls on the lockscreen still, which I think happens if you stop the music on the lockscreen and dont unlock the phone. Then maybe the button might have been pushed to turn the screen on and the play button was pressed. But you said it was the night before that you were listening to it so I don't know.
