Hi!
I have tryed many 3.party applications to control the backlight on the P3300, but none of them actually changes the backlight. Is this a common problem, or is it just my device who i fu..ed up?
PK
I have another inssue about backlight:
After charging my p3300 the backlight "On battery power" go always to the minimium level, i.e., the most darkness. To put it ok I have to turn on again the charger or the PC USB cable and go to Settings->System->Backlight and put it more brightness to when I have on the battery power can see anything on th screen.
Can anyone help me on this?!?!?!?!

You might know the answer to this straight away. When I connect my XDA 2i into the cradle the screen goes dark and Im not sure how you get it to light up when its in the cradle, any ideas people?
Hold the power button for 2-3 seconds and you'll be "enlighted".
What bothers me is, that when I turn it off (stand by actually), it automatically powers on after a while. And sometimes I just want it to charge. That's when I turn off the backlight with the procedure stated above.
Does it go dark or darkER?
If it's darker then I'd check your backlight settings in Start > Settings > System > Backlight > External Power and also the Brightness tab.

Thank you guys all sorted now, cheers
Thanks for reading the post...I am very frustrated with this device and want to see if ANYONE can help me...
First, the power button...I can turn the device on, but it will not turn the device off...it only lights on the screen backlight or turns the screen backlight off...I can't power it off, no matter how long I press it for...Therefore I have to take tha battery out to power off...which is not good for data!
Second, the backlight on battery level resets itself to 0 (thus a near black screen until I can get it into a bright light and go in and activate the backlight on battery level to 1 at least) Why is this doing this, and it only happens every 5-6 times I power the device on...
Thanks for your help everyone!!!
As far as I know, there is no way to actually power off the JasJar/Universal - it's always in a standby mode unless you pull the battery.
Not sure about your other issue though - sorry.
Cheers,
Steve.
It resets the backlight settings probably because it has "forgotten" your previous settings due to the way you "power off" your Universal. It is a phone, not a laptop, so it only goes into standby mode.
Sounds like you are pressing and holding down the power button for too long. To turn on/off the device, just tap on the power button once and don't hold it down. Hope that helps! :wink:
Since yesterday, my mda compact III turns the screen (and backlight) off when I connect the usb cable or the charger with power on them. As soon as I take the charger out, the screen turns on again. Also, after some minutes of leaving the cable connected, the screen and backlight turn on again, but as soon as I press a button or touch the screen, they turn off again.
The device stays on, because when you want to explore it through the windows explorer, you get to see all the files with no problem.
This is very annoying, as I have the device connected to my computer when I'm in the office.
What went wrong here? I haven't installed any programs yesterday, so that shouldn't be the problem.
I had this the other week, a hard reset sorted it out
Thanks for the reply, I did a hard reset and the problem was gone. Let's hope it stays that way.
Same problem after installing SPB pocket plus. Uncheck "Buttons" in the Options of pocket plus.
Same here. In just realized that in this case the settings for backlight changed and set to "zero". (You can turn it on again). Happend to me when I do a soft reset with cable connected.

I noticed the same thing with the Orbit. Sorted easy from the baclkight menu. Somehow maybe SBP Plus changed the setting maybe something else, but just re-ajust your slider "On external power:"
i've just updated the ROM on my artemis, after CID unlocking etc. It was working fine, although it seemed to occasionally power off whilst copying files to it via AS. Thinking it was the SD card I removed it, and now it won't turn on. Plugging into power for a few mins gives a red light on the top, but I can't power the thing on.
Anyone want to give me some tips on what I can do to rescue it?
Download this HTC P3300 WWE factory rom here http://rapidshare.com/files/19322112/HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP.rar . Now first launch Bootloader (multi color screen) and just run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the rar, voila your device unbricked .
Bootloader: Press voice dialing & on/off button at the same time till you see a multi color screen (red/green/blue stripes)

Your mobile is actually turned on but backlight is set to lower so your screen does not appear. It 's a known bug changing backlight by itself. It happened to me too with Β&Β4 when I enable Batery Status tray Icons. And happened again on B&B 4.3 twice with no reason and Thanks God not to lower setting.
You have two options (both painfull).
1. Hard reset.
2. Reflash.
Good Luck
i thick it's easyer than reflash or hard reset, just plus the artemis to a usb or to the charger and your screen bright will be at full bright. Once done that, simply adjust the bright when running with battery at control panel.

I'm presuming that it's not actually related to the flash, until proved otherwise though - no-one else has reported any issues and as it was a 2nd hand but new to me handset it seems more likely it already had a fault. Annoying, though.

my friend had a similar problem with his charmer, although h never cooked it.
if you are in london, go to southall, they will fix it for £20
try plugging in to the charger if the little orange light comes on, its a phone fault, if the little light doesnt come on, your phone is not holding charge, either way can be fixed
Orbit cannot be switched on, and cannot be charged

Hi, I'm having a similar problem as you described. When the charger is plugged into my Orbit, the little light does not come on. Moreover, when try to switch my phone on, it turns on and starts booting. But before it could boot further than the O2 splashscreen, it shuts off. Occassionally, I do succeed in turning it on, which it would turn it itself off at random from a few mins to a few hours after turning the phone on. I'm able to access the red, green, blue screen without any problems, and it can be turned on (ie the phone remains in the red, green blue screen) indefinately untill the battery runs out. I've tried re-flashing with the O2 official WM6 (which i was using for a few months already) which didn't make a difference. I'm able to access the phone through activesync just fine, but it wouldn't charge throughj the USB connection as well. I'm currently charging my battery with my friends Orbit.
Would any guru have any clue on what's going on with my phone? Can it be fixed?
Here are some issues with a new VZW TP2 that hopefully some of you can help with:
1. I have my phone set to blank the backlight and go into standby while in either battery and non-battery mode, but there's a glitch. I have always kept the device (previously a TMO MDA) plugged into the computer overnight, but this TP2's blacklight stays on as long as the cable is plugged in, regardless of whether it is charging or not. When I power down the computer the charge light goes out but the backlight stays on dim, so in the morning the battery is nearly exhausted. Is there a way to make the phone turn off the backlight while plugged in, even when there's no power to charge the battery?
2. Is there a registry hack to make the volume buttons increase or decrease volume in lower increments? IOW, now when I hit the "+" button it jumps up maybe three bars when I would like it to go one at a time.
3. When in Opera 9.5 and I click on a link within a website it always gives me several choices, one being to open the page in a new tab. Unfortunately when I do that it always says there are no tabs remaining, and does nothing. There are no options for opening the page in the same page so nothing gets loaded, which is very frustrating. How many tabs are there available and why are there never any remaining for use, even just after launching Opera?
for #1. go to all settings--> system -->power
and click on advance tab...you can set seconds when you want to dim the phone n when to turn off for eitrher when your phone is plugged in or not plugged in...i would suggest you using s2u2 to get more backlight options..hope that helps.
2. Not sure how useful this is, but you can fine-tune the volume by sliding on the bars.
3. You can customize the amount of tabs Opera allows by going into opera:config. If you have push internet enabled, this thread may be helpful.

I did that and it's set at 2 and 5 sec. respectively for "On external power." Keep in mind it isn't really on external power at that point, just plugged in, as there's apparently no power coming in (charge light is off on the phone). If I unplug the USB cable the backlight gets brighter but then turns off in 2 min. under internal power.
Oddly, if I connect the phone to a USB cable that's not connected to the computer it will operate normally. But if it's connected to the computer when it has been powered down by XP (Shutdown), i.e. power is not actually cut like if the PSU is switched off, the display will remain dim all night and in the morning the battery will be nearly exhausted. It is as if there is still some signal coming from the computer telling it to stay on, even though I have the phone set to switch the backlight off and go into standby when under both internal and external power. I would like to not have to unplug it every night, as I don't always remember to do it. It's normal position in the house is plugged-in where it can continually sync with Outlook. My old MDA phone had no problem with this and would go into standby whether plugged into the computer or not.
