For some unknown reason after I press the power button to bring the phone back out of standby the screen is defaulting to the power save setting for the backlight (which means no backlight/dark screen) I have to goto the brightness setting under backlight and slide the bar back to the middle in order to light the screen. It never did this before and I did not change anything. It would just come back on tho the normal backlight setting (in the middle of the bar). If anyone knows why this would happen or if there is a setting in the reg I can do. Please help as I really do not want to do a hard reset and reload everything. I did do a soft reset, but it did not do anything.
Wish I could help. I have had that happen several times. Sometimes it clears itself up, last time I had to hard reset. I never did figure out what caused it...
Try searching, I know others have had the issue, too.
I don't know if anyone else has had or is having this problem, but i thought i would ask for help.
Sometimes I have to perform a hard reset. When I do, it runs through it's normal start up sequence, all the way through the windows mobile startup screen. As it begins to change from the startup to the today screen, the phone will begin to vibrate and ring on it's own. vibrate for a second or two, and then it's quiet for a second or two, and then ring. the ringer starts off soft, and then seems to work it's way up through to mid range, about 5 different levels of volume. The ringer then stops and the vibrate kicks back in again. It seems to last as long as it takes for my today screen to load. Please understand, The last thing that i want to do is a hard reset, and I'm sure that this would fix the problem, I just don't want to go through the headache of installing all my software. I can hear some people saying, "not a big issue if you have a system backup.." well, I'm thinking that the issue has got to be somewhere in the registry, and I'm thinking that by installing a backup, will only copy the issue back onto my device. I don't soft reset my phone that often, so I can live with the issue if I have to. I just thought I would throw this out there and see if someone might be able to help me out.
Sounds to me that you either pressed the volume button upwards while you phone were starting up or there is something wrong with your volume button in general (either hardware or software). If you have the possibility reflash the device with your shipped ROM version, then see if that persists!
Hi guys,
I'm very new to pda's/smartphones 'n stuff, so be gentle.
I have a Touch Dual since few days, and the one thing that irritates me is the keyboard backlight. When typing an sms the lights go off just after 8 seconds or so... That's too fast for me, I still have to get used to having a qwerty keypad on my phone.
to be clear: I don't mean the backlight on the display itself, buy the light beneath the keypad when open.
Is there a registry setting, or a tweak/application that could correct this for me?
Thnx in advance,
Lukas
same problem here...
You could try the most excellent KaiserTweak, I've found most of its tweaks to be compatible with my Nike, haven't tried the backlight though -> http://www.jongma.org/KaiserTweak/
yes try the kaiserTweak. it's under option Keyboard->backlight. The default value is 10 sec. you can up the time to more in the tweak.
Downloaded the tweak app, changed the keyboard setting and a bunch of other interesting settings (because I'm a curious idiot in case someone asks) and now the device kind of hangs on the password screen... I can't unlock anymore.
The device reacts to taps and both screen and keypad input. Also, if I type the wrong password I get the obvious error message. If I type the correct passcode, and tap 'unlock' then nothing happens and after a minute or so the * disappear and I can start over again..
Is this a known bug?
What do I do now? Hard reset? That will wipe out all my settings and files right?
Thnx
Lukas
please help... Hard reset did not help. Device is still unresponsive...
This are the numbers I get when the device is booting:
M 04
B 04
R 1.58.16.27
G 25.61.30.03H
D 1.31
just want to make sure you did your hard reset correctly. how did you do it exactly? the button by the battery after you remove the back cover?
I took this from the manual because from what you described. doesn't sound like you did it correctly. a hard reset should put it back to its factory setting.
Hard reset
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings -‑ the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a hard reset
1. Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the left side of your device.
2. Release the stylus, but continue pressing the TALK and END buttons until you see the following message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press ENTER to restore manufacturer defaults, or press any other button to cancel.
3. Release the TALK and END buttons, and then press ENTER on your device.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
Hi Fatlove...
Indeed you're right. And I did read my manual. And I did it EXACTLY like stated in the manual.
This is what I posted in the General forum:
Ok,
This is going to be stupid, but I'll admit to it anyway...
I've read in the manual on how to perform a hard rest. It states to push the send and end buttons, keep the pushed in, and then press the soft reset button until a text appears on the screen. That text states to press "Enter" to continue, and any other key to cancel.
Well, the 'Enter' key to me is the 'enter' key on that qwerty keypad, not the shiny silver button between the Send and End buttons.
To the writer of the manual the enter key on the keypad does not exist.
So that's why a hard reset did not help. Because I did not perform one.
My bad. Anyways, my phone is ok again, sorry for the doublepost.
Grtz
Lukas
Anyways, thnx for the reply, and for the record: the keypad backlight still doesn't work after har reset and re-applying the keiser tweak. Still lit only 8 seconds or so. Does it matter that I copied the Keiser executable to my storage card? It doesn't have to be on the device itself now, does it?
Thnx again.
Lukas
Nope.. kaisertweak is not working for this property (Keyboard backlight)
Anyone
I tried several Registry settings but nothing worked so far.
Anyone else had succes?
Still no solution for this problem?
It's pretty annoying
I tried changing values in the registry as well, but nothing worked. So I'm also interested in a possible solution...
Damn, I hate that light turning off that quick. There must be a solution
I also have been trying a lot of registry settings without solutions
Anybody knows?
I tried this kaiser tweak on my dual and it had no effect. Had to remove it.
kaiser tweak had no effect on my dual either..
qwerty key board
hello i have the htc touch pro and my external keyboard light go's off in about 3 sec does anybody now how to get the time longer
I've the same problem, keyboard backlight stops after about 8 seconds
I tried some register settins and also with Advanced Configuration Tool (Julien Schapman), but no result.
Hope somebody can fix this
I have had the Touch 3G for nearly a year now and for the last 3 months I have had this recurring problem which is fixed with a hard reset but will recur again after about 6 weeks. The symptoms are:
1. When turning on, the backlight dims just before the HTC flash screen and startup sound (when it says "Smart Mobility")
2. Touching the screen doesn't bring the backlight back on.
3. Pressing the power button doesn't turn the screen off from this dimmed state, but after pressing touching the screen will turn the backlight back on.
4. Pressing the power button again will now turn off the screen, but pressing it again won't turn the screen back on! If I call it from another phone, the vibrator goes on but it doesn't ring, the screen stays off and you can't answer the call. If you hang up on the other phone it keeps vibrating and you need to do a soft reset to stop it.
If I do a hard reset the symptoms are gone and reinstalling the exact same software doesn't cause the problems immediately but withing a month or so it happens again. All I did just prior to these problems was use TomTom a bit more than usual, but otherwise nothing different. I have used TaskManager to see if there is anything weird running in the background but it all looks fine. I have had a cursory look through the registry but also can't find anything?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like it's going all haywire. If you've had it less than a year, I'd send it in real quick. Sounds more like a hardware problem.
I don't think it is hardware as a hard reset fixes it...it just recurs down the track. I have done a hardrest and reinstalled all my apps and it is working great again but I was wondering if I should be checking somewhere in the registry for an aberrant setting. I am u using a backup image program so at least when it happen again I an restore my system more simply.
But then again, all the symptoms you mentioned point to a hardware defect. You could try to find a tweak, but like all electronic devices, it's the luck of the draw. Try emailing HTC and see what they say.
Hello,
These last days I had a lot of problems to align the screen of my Samsung Omni Addict player I900. The problem is that the touch screen is not centered anymore and it does not react when I press something on the screen.
To solve the problem I wanted to make a hard reset by using the following key combination "*2767*3855#".
My biggest problem is that, by mistake, I did lock the screen and keys of the phone and then when I press any key, my phone ask me to press the "Unlock" option on the screen, but I cannot do it as the touch screen does not react correctly.
I'm wondering if there is any possibility to edit the register to be able to unlock it.
Any other ideas are welcome. I'm blocked on this problem for two days now
Thanks in advance for your help,
Alain
Maybe I'm missing something but... can't you just soft reset it? I don't think it will boot up screen-locked....
Soft reset didn't help but after multiple tries I managed to do an hard reset which did solve the problem.
The problem I'm facing to now is that I cannot align the screen. As recommanded in different posts in this forum I have changed the CalibrationData value in the registery but still, after following the "align screen" procedure the screen does not react correctly. To be able to move forward I would like to be able to activate the mouse cursor. Do you know how could I activate it by changing a value in the registery?
If not I will create a new post with this question.
Thanks in advance.
Alain.
I'm sorry, haven't had an i900 in my hands for a while now, I don't remember which reg key you need
