Suspending doesn't work any more

Hi,
after upgrading to WM 6.1 a first while everything was ok. But after a while suspending didn't work - when pressing the power switch nothing happens. After about an hour the display goes black and I can't get the pda to work any more without a soft reset. But when I receive a phone call or an sms, the display gets bright again and I can continue working.
Do you know how to fix that?
Thank you in advance!!

is it a ROM issue? the ROM you installed might be helpful to some here.

Hi,
I tried the original O² (German) Rom, the newest O² (German) Rom and the newest "Kitchen" - no matter what Rom I choose the problem still persists

I just detected the source of the problem: The powerswitch doesn't work any more - I can't event turn the device on or off by pressing it.
I don't want to send it back because that needs so much time and I don't have any replacement for the 3-4 weeks it need.
Do you have any ideas what else I can try (without endanger the warrenty)?
Thank you so much in advance!

You know I never use that button. Used to use it regularly when I first got the phone but not anymore. However, is there a way to turn on the phone without that button. I would send it back in but might be worth to see if any other guys here have ideas.

power button issues
got the same problem with my orbit 2, the power button has gone west. pain in the rear as it drains the battery fast, even with the backlight off. anyone any ideas for a fix, would rather not be without my phone for any length of time
cheers

Your post helped me Hard Reset my Sharper Image PUERHITECH 202TSI phone that I bought from ebay locked with a password and couldn't figure out for the world how to hard reset the darn thing.
Step one
1. Power + left + right + back(next to the right soft key) buttons while system is still powered on.
Keep trying till you see the screen change to blue with the words "Clear Storage"
2. I had to press the letter "Y" (I think it helped?) and the "ENTER" button at the right corner of the keypad.
The screen turns black for a few seconds comes on with the sharper image logo and stays there re-imaging the phone. After about 2 minutes of waiting, voila! WinMo oh my GOD 6. Pretty ancient but it worked.
Now if someone can help me uograde to WINMO 6.5 would be great.

I realize this is an old thread, but just in case anyone is following it: I downloaded and installed EnableGPS (google it) which was made for an HTC phone, but it worked to enabel the internal GPS on this phone. I now have an active internal GPS that works with NoviGPS and will hopefully work with others. Now if I can only determine if there is WiFi (there are references in the registry) and get it enabled, then I will be so-o-o happy!
Amoi 6711 or Alcatel 202TSI or VDA-GPS or....

This device is similiar to toshiba g710 and vda-gps so there is no hidden wifi sorry... there is no possibilitiy to have wifi... but tell me about this gps trick you did? where did you found it?

The file is attached. Use at your own risk, but it worked for me, GPS is now accessable. Try also downloading and installing GpsTest from Chartcross. It will show you your working GPS. Enjoy!

It does not work for me it shows gps in garmin xt bud doesnt find any satellite

[Completed] Lenovo a5000 problem(SOLVED)

Hello everyone, I have just recently bought this Lenovo A5000, everything was perfect until i did a mistake today, just an hour ago. I will list step by step how i encountered the problem below.
1. I did some search on the net about hidden code or secret code for service menu(for lenovo)
2. I found some then i tried this code ####999# then all of sudden the screen changed to multiple [email protected] testing followed by microphone test, then camera test then some other test. It keeps repeating and does not stop.
3.I tried to press whatever key is available along with home menu or multitasking hot key but no avail. It keeps repeating and repeating, Pressing on/off power button also not working.
4. The only things that work is, i was able to scroll down for hidden menu as we do on all android phone. I can go to settings but only settings display etc. I tried to search for the running service test on running programs under the apps menu but nothing. I also tried to press power off/on button here but no avail.(please take note thatthe service test still running at the background during this time).
5.Finally when i tried to close any running systems apps i managed to get into dialling menu. but again i just leave it here because the service test does not seems to work here.
6. Lastly when i look at my phone, it was already black in screen that i believe it was in sleep mode but when i press any button this phone doesnt awake. tried to press the power on/off longer but no avail. unfortunately i cant pull of the battery because it was not removable.
Hopefully anyone of you can suggest me how i can revert it back to normal. Really this is unexpected. I ONLY pressed ####999# and voila [email protected] test started. I appreciate much your help guys. Thanks
NOTE;
I dont know where i get the idea but, as i said above, the phone goes to sleep with no response. What i did a few minutes ago ,
1.Press the power on/off button and keep pressing the volume up several times followed with volume down then release.
Then Lenovo logo comes up, then VOILA! my phone was normal again.
Anyway i will always give a credit to XDA forum for many valuable tips and knowledge that i learned before. Thanks

New S6 touch screen not working

Hi. Just opened my Christmas present - new S6. However, when i turned it on the phone boots to the opening screen where you select the country but the touch screen doesn't work. The back button, recent app button and home button all work.
I've tried rebooting but same problem.
I've searched the net for a solution but nothing. Anyone have a suggestion or do i have to take the phone to Samsung.?
Thanks
Alan

Yeah I think you got a defective device. Send it back to samsung. Bad luck

Cheers. What a pain in the arse...

Black screen except for camera? J7 Crown. no USB debugging. Recovery mode access

Situation: Samsung Galaxy J7 Crown. Never messed with. USB Debugging not enabled No special permissions (no ADB). I am able to access the Android Recovery screen. Obviously wipe cache partition didn't help, nor Lacking storage booting. Other than the Recovery and download screen: I get the Power/Restart icons when booted normally. Reset works, but power doesn't turn the phone off. No phone calls, Yes notifications. Camera from lock screen comes on (triple click on home button) and touch screen works.
I've tried to trace out the lock pattern in the hopes its still working outside this specific situation. No indication that it is.
All i want is a few sentimental pictures. Although after an entire day of frustration, finding out that the only thing that works is the camera is kinda funny and ironic.
Ive looked on XDA forums, but I'm having no luck w/ exact situation, although I'm sure someone has been in the same situation or similar enough.
Spent all day looking at options (Odin?) and nothing looks like it would work out for me.
Knowing the camera works, makes me hopeful that a mirror would work? No reaction to lock screen pattern makes me think not.
Additional (maybe irrelevant) info. Shows up on home WiFi while Find My Mobile said it was offline (makes sense with Notifications/no calls)
Any advice? Just point me in the right direction if there is one.
If not i hope you appreciate the Irony here. Thanks
(I used to be not so bad tech support, but haven't been keeping up as of late, and today was a painful reminder. Take pity on me.)

Black Screen Except Camera - Galaxy J7 Crown
Hey there anick22! I was so glad to see a search result with something referencing the camera working, on an otherwise completely black screen! I was super bummed to see that noone had replied to your plea for help with this insane problem!! I hope you found a solution by now!!
My 2 month old Galaxy J7 Crown suddenly went black on me one day, and it didn't happen as a result of a drop, or spill, or any other damage. I don't recall having put any new or different apps on it, recently, either.
The triple click of the Home button does open the camera, and the screen lights right up, perfectly. It takes it's usual beautiful pics, and I'm able to use all of the camera functions. I'm even able to view any photos I took during that particular session, buy not any prior pics, because I'm unable to unlock the phone.
"Hey Google!!" also reacts, and will display the result of any question that I may ask it, but I'm unable to go into the answers, without the ability to unlock my phone.
I have been able to get the phone into safe mode, while attempting to power it off, by pressing the power button, and then tapping on "power off" (although this hasn't worked every time I've tried). While in safe mode, "safe mode" is displayed in the bottom left hand corner, but nothing else appears on the screen.
Upon powering up the phone, all of the normal things happen. It shows "Samsung" and goes on to the blue screen to show the "Trac Fone" logo, but once the phone is booted up, the screen is black!!
PLEASE tell me that you were able to find a solution to this!!! I went and purchased a new Moto G7, (since I had a Droid Turbo 2 in the past, and it was amazing!!), and I'm beyond ready to get back to my J7 Crown!! PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks so much!!!
By the way, I'm a newbie here, as If you couldn't tell!!
