Hey, My backlight keeps dimming everytime I power on my HTC from sleep. When it's sleeping (just tapping the power button so the screen turns off) the backlight goes really dark when I turn it back on yet the HTC power settings say it's on bright. When I move the bar back and forward the backlight's brightness goes back to its original state. Can someone help me find a fix? I am running tweaks and stuff but I haven't messed with it lately. Hope someone knows what i did wrong if i did anything
Also, Does the HTC Touch Pro accept 32GB cards? If not, is there a way to make it do so? Because I heard there was a way but not told how. All I know is that you have to hack the battery or something.
Thanks alot

I have a new issue with my backlight. I didn't really see anything scanning a search on backlight so I'm hoping someone has seen this before and can help.
I just got a new 3200mah battery. Ever since I started using it, after turning off the device, I go back to it, press the power button or backlight button and while the screen itself comes on, the backlight does not. No light at all. I also often find that the screen is on already when I open the phone (which might explain why my battery is sometimes finding itself dead in a matter of a couple hours).
Please, if you are familiar with this can you offer some direction?
Thanks
Wrong title on this thread
Ooops...sorry for the double post.
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...
I would like my phone to autolock when I push the on/off button. I know that Diamond Tweak has this option and it works. However, there is a BIG problem that I can't figure out how to solve.
When autolock is enabled, the screen backlight is on very dim when the phone is turned back on, regardless of the backlight settings. I do NOT have 'autobacklight' on. After unlocking, the backlight stays dim no matter what happens. The only way to get the backlight back to a higher setting is to go into backlight settings and move the slider before it readjusts. The odd thing is the backlight setting is set to a bright setting but is being ignored. This happens on every ROM i have tried. Obviously this is quite annoying and inconvenient.
Anyone know why the autolock function completely overides the backlight settings? Anyone know how to fix this?
TIA!
this happened to me when i manually made teh reg tweak. go to settings personal lock and set the time to lock to 0 minutes. this should accomplish the same thing
EDIT: do you mean just the screen lock? cuz i've been trying to do the same thing but no one could help
+1 on this problem.
Each time the screen locks the backlight does not come back on when unlocked again. The only way seems to go into the backlight settings and change it which seems to re-enable the backlight. Does not seem to matter whether I manually powersave the device or let the powersave kick in automatically.
I am using Energy Rom W6.5 for Raphael. Am using the old Windows Default screen lock app (i.e. not the new WM6.5 screenlock).
Does anyone know how to set the backlight to switch back on after an unlock?
Have trawled the forums/Google with no success.
Thx!
I spotted this on the at&t user forums. It's for the Kaiser/Tilt/8925, but wondering if the same "fix" could be applied?
I have the same issue. If the screen "wakes up" most of the time it is dim,
and I have to hit the on/off button to get it bright enough to see the screen.
I have been experiencing a similar issue. My Tilt doesn't just dim the screen, is actually goes into sleep mode (black screen) after about 15 seconds. I called HTC directly and was told that in addition to the backlightfix.cab available on the HTC web site, they have a second file for people like us who aren't helped by that file.
In order to obtain the alternative fix, you must contact HTC e-mail support and describe the problem. They will then e-mail the new fix to you. You can e-mail HTC support here: http://www.htc.com/us/cs_mail.aspx. Hope this helps!

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
Heya, Im having an issue where my hardware button led's are stuck on after I put the device into sleep mode, I have to wake the phone up touch the center 'ok' button then set it back to sleep to get the lights to turn off.
Anyone else having this issue or know a fix?
Touch pro, Energy rom 1/aug/09 6.5, It was happining in a 6.1 version of enegy rom too. so maybe a hardware issue?

Check your Sounds and Notification Settings, you're probably set to flash for certain notifications. Adjust it and see if it helps.
Its not the center dial flashing, the 4 outside lights for each of the icons remain on.
ive yet to test if reciving a notifcation turns them off.
Thanks

DITTO
Anyone?
mine does it all the time, between waiting on text messages, typically when i sleep her with the keyboard out.. doesn't bother me tho?
i just look at it and say "you stupid ****in phone" which i do in increasing amounts anyway..?
It has something to do with the keyboard.
Sometimes,when I have the keyboard slided out this happens,so I need to turn it on,close the phone(wait few seconds for stupid autorotation),then switch it off.
