Qtek9000 freezes after switching off the backlighting and on

Hello since i've upgraded to the new radio version 1.11 on my device, this is what happens: if i want to switch off the backlighting of the q9000 in order to save energy and afterwards back again, either the device doesnt recover from that state and i have to reset it, or the device lights up when i try to wake it up by pushing on any button or on the screen with the stylus, but is freezed and i cannot activate it back again;The green network light keeps flashing but nothing wakes the device up.
Could someone help me out of this one, as this is quite annoying, as you can imagine.
Brgds, aDHOC.

XDA Orbit Screen Problem

Hi Guys.
I've had my orbit for about 3 weeks now, and its been perfect. I had a spare 512mb microSD card lying about so I used that, but my 2Gb microSD card came in the post yesterday.
I put the card into the phone, and then plugged the phone into my computer via USB. The screen turned off, and no matter what I did, it wouldn't come back on.
I reset it using the small button on the side (sticking my stylex pen into it) and it restarted itself, showing the splash screen no problem, but as soon as you would expect the Today screen to show, the screen goes off. It get's weirder, because if I hold down the camera button to turn that on, the screen switches itself on, and you can use the camera no problem. If i hit the windows key, the menu appears, but if I try clicking an icon, the screen goes dead again.
Also, sometimes (not always, don't ask why) if I leave it for a couple of minutes, the screen slowly appears, as if the backlight is very very dim. But the second i tap anywhere, or touch a button, it goes off again.
I can still answer calls, and my alarms still go off. The phone seems to work perfectly, but just not the screen. I think that it might be the backlight having been turned so far down its off, but I don't know how I would go about reseting that.
Sorry for the long story, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

have you tried to make a hard reset?

Man I had the exact sane issue. Its to do with the backlight. I had to angle the screen to try and see anything on it, then changed the backlight to full and made sure it didnt switch off after certain time, everything fine since then. dont know how it happened.

exactly like fubofo wrote,try to unplug,screen should be visible again, check backlight prop.-and plug it in.

i have the same problem this appears sometimes.I think this is a damn bug that appears randomized.It happend to me like 6 times.I have the o2 xda orbit with german o2 rom.What's about yours? it dims the light under the normal makeable settings this sucks.And the camera works because the light settings goes automaticly to the highest settings in camera mode.

Hi guys,
I remember having that problem but it was when I tried some programs, including HTC X-button and another called Invisible Shooter. I haven't got any further incident after uninstalling them.
Do you think what you've encountered with may also link to some program you've installed?

Totally confirmed! Had same issue after replacing a touch screen. Thanks, guys, for a clue!

"Lock" shortcut not working in WM6.1?

I've noticed since installing Kavana's 6.1 ROM (great ROM, btw), that I can no longer use my red disconnect button as a shortcut to lock my phone.
In the past, I would just depress the red disconnect button for a few seconds and it would lock the phone, now I can only do this by hitting the left side power button to bring up the quick menu to do this.
Is there a way to get the shortcut back?
Thank you,
Tim

Locking Dash
I have always held down the z key to lock my phone. This works for me in WM6.1

Thank you, never tried that method, the key is smaller than the red disconnect button, but it'll do. - Tim

Strange. It works for me by default and I am using this ROM:
RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080320_WWE.exe
(apparently this is the same as the 080318 ROM, but with the defaults that he said were turned off actually turned off).

Strange it's working for me now as well.... but yesterday depressing the key would do nothing. Being a Windows OS I should have known I'd need to reboot. ;-)
False Alarm
- Tim

when in doubt.... Reboot!!!!!!!

Is there an auto key lock function or application available for WM 6.1?

text entry options don't work with Touch HD (on Orange UK)

Hi all,
I apologise if this is not the right place to pose this question, but I just got a Touch HD on an Orange contract a couple of days ago, and I can't seem to be able to change the text entry method on my handset. It always stays as 'Phone Keypad', no matter which method I select, from the several methods listed: Block Recognizer, Compact QWERTY, Full QWERTY, Keyboard, etc. It's the same whether I try to make the selection by pressing the "OPTIONS" button on the phone keypad, or whether I go through Start->Settings->Input
All the software/hardware configuration on my handset is exactly as it was when I received it from Orange, so far I haven't even installed a single new program.
Any help? TIA

Hi.
Can't offer any advice as such, but can tell you that I got my HD from Orange just over a week ago, and I can change the keyboard without any problems.
I originally had a Touch Diamond, so I knew how I wanted it set up. I just brought up the menu from the keyboard at the bottom of the screen when it first popped up and did it from there.
Sorry I can't be any help, other than to tell you that you should be able to do it!
Good luck mate.

Hi,
I had the exact same problem but i wasnt too bothered but then I installed Gyrator and everything started to work.

Hi,
I had the exact same problem but i wasnt too bothered but then I installed HD Tweak and Gyrator and everything started to work. I have no idea how it worked though.

I got this phone yesterday, and I too was confused as to how I selected the different input method. Then I worked it out
It must be a bug with their firmware. You have to HOLD DOWN the centre button, keep your finger pressed and slide it up the screen to select the preferred input method. I think I did this when I was in the Compose SMS screen.
Since then, mine's stayed as I selected it - on Full QWERTY.
Hope this helps!

Same happened with mine. If you click on the options then you cant change it, however if you click on the box in the middle of the screen at the bottom, you can change them.. Bizarre!

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, guys. I've got it working for me too: by pressing the 4x4 grid-like icon at the bottom centre of the screen to bring up the keyboard, and then pressing the small upward-pointing arrowhead that brings up keyboard options. I guess that's what ultrazonixe probably means... although I couldn't get it work by sliding my finger upwards off the centre button as langauld suggested (except if incidently I did it from the arrowhead icon).
Thanks for the help!

Yes this is quite tricky till you get the idea.
Press the bottom middle button (icon of keypad) to get the keypad up, if its not already up.
Then the bottom icon changes and adds a small up arrow just to the right of the keypad icon. (nothing to do with the four arrows just below the keypad)
you have to press this small up arrow just to the right of the keypad icon and a menu pops labled "touch input settings".
its not the same one that comes up when you press the options tab which does not work.
Press the right choice eg full qwerty or whatever, and hey presto the keypad changes instantly.

same here
Yes I could change it .. via selecting the arrow next to the mini keyboard on the bottom ... but it used to reset it self every time I starsted the phone...
Now I have TouchPal.. I have never looked back.

[Q] HTC Tilt2 Keyboard Lights Stays on

Is there a Register key that turns the keyboard lights off permanently on the HTC Tilt 2? I have PHM Register Editor installed and have found the following values under the BackLight key folder.
My problem is: the back light on the keyboard never goes off. It stays on continually even when the keyboard is not extended. The kicker is this: when i power the phone off, the keyboard back light "still" remain on and the phone gets vey warm unless i take the battery out to truely 'render the phone powerless'.
Anyone know the values to adjust if at all to these keys (or another?) that may turn the backlight off:
KeyLightAutoSensor 1(0X00001)
LightDetectOn 1(0X000001)
QKeyLedTimeout 1(0X000001)

Resolved: The next day, the keypad lights finally works properly, they go off when the keypad is closed and turn on when extended (HTC TIlt2). PLUS: the keyboard back light now turns off with the rest of the phone when i power it down. STILl do not know how the backlight started staying on despite the phone being turned off. Its a sign for sure that it's time for a new phone. I guess its Android time (i dont like windows 7 .. too locked down)
