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
Hi Everyone,
I had my infinity for about a week. Everything looks fine except when i press power button to wake up from sleep mode, the screen looks somewhat blurry or sometimes had wired red blue color. It is only about one second and fade away to become normal quickly. I am just wondering if anybody experience the same issue? Is this normal?
Thanks,
I've noticed this too on a few occasions, but only when opening it while its in the dock. It could be just how it draws the screen and the tablet being slow enough due to something running that we can actually watch it put everything back together. Like maybe when waking up, the GPU isn't in a state that it's accelerated to make everything just "pop up" or that something is bogging the processor down like trying to reestablish a wifi connection and such. Just some theories but I don't think its anything out of the ordinary to worry about.

Alienedd,
Thanks for your reply. I have the same feeling but just wasn't sure. Maybe when I switch from power saving mode to balance mode will make it better?
See if changing both power-saving settings (dock and WiFi sleep) in the ASUS settings tab helps.
Last night I noticed that pressing the power button on my phone no longer did anything. Thinking that maybe the phone had somehow become frozen, I pulled the battery and put it back in. Much to my surprise, the phone came on all by itself without me having to do anything. It seems that somehow the power button got stuck in the "pushed" position even though I can still push it like normal.
I have managed to work around the issues for now thanks to some features of Cyanogenmod (I can now wake the phone up using the volume keys and lock by tapping a widget in the notification area), but I'm wondering what caused this and if it's something that could be easily fixed.
Has anyone else ever experienced something like this or does anyone know how I could go about fixing the issue?

Anyway, someone solve this problem opening the nexus s and manually cleaning the power button. Here a guide to open your device if you want to try:

Opening my ns and cleaning it did the trick for me. Worth a try, your warranty is void now anyway

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot when I get a chance.
Hi there,
I have been struggling with a problem the last few days, and have been reading quiet a lot. I got two old Nexus 5 phones, one had a broken screen, the other one had the display glitching problem - related to the flex cable. So I opened them and put a working one together out of both.
So far so good, everything seems to be working, with one exception: Once I press the power button, the screen goes black like its supposed to. If I wait long enough and try to wake the phone, its not responding. The only thing that helps is long-pressing the power button to hard reboot it.
So I did read a lot, about the power button malfunctioning and the batteries dying on the Nexus 5. I ruled out the power button problem and its working like it should. I ordered a new battery, which is not perfect, but has an estimated of 1800 mAh. I monitored the voltage of the battery with different apps, even logging them to see what happens right before the shutdown - but everything seems normal. So this could not be the problem either.
I am currently running the latest LineageOS, but I experienced the same problem running the latest factory image google released for the phone. I even tried different kernels. So I thought, it might not be software related. But since it always happened when the phone starts to enter the deep sleep , I tried to google some about this and found the SOD ( Sleep of Death ) problem for the Nexus 4. Since I was out of ideas, I installed an App called "SOD Killer", which creates a wake lock preventing the device from sleeping. Et voila - the problem is gone.
I could not find discussion on the internet relating to the nexus 5 concerning the sleep mode and the phone dying once it goes to sleep. Am I missing something here? The SOD Killer wake lock solution is a good temporary fix, but I would like to get to the grounds of this.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this strange behavior? Thank you in advance,
joha
What I forgot to mention is that once the phone is connected to a power source, the problem does not appear. That is also the reason why I wont get any logs via adb. ;p
I will try to get some logs with an APP and root once I get home - maybe there is some information about the problem causing this strange behavior.
I managed to get a log while the phone died when it wanted to activate sleep mode. But I am not that good in figuring out what in the log might be pointing in the direction of the failure. Any ideas?
I dont like the
Code:
09-21 12:11:51.977 E/BatteryStatsService( 786): no controller energy info supplied
parts in there. What might be the problem here?
Thank you so much in advance!
Does no one have any idea? I guess its hardware related somehow, when the phone tries to enter deep sleep. Anybody out there that knows, what the phone is actually doing when entering deep sleep which might be causing it to die / become unresponsive? Any idea is highly appreciated - I love that phone.
