when turning mda3 on backlight is working but the screen not

just get a mda3 with a problem
sometimes when i switching the phone on (power button) the backlight is working but the screen remains black so i can't se anything. the phone is working, i can browse the folders, i hear all the sounds but the screen remains black! after a while hes working again.
does anybody had the same problem? and how can i solve the problem?((((

have u tried a hard reset? ive never had this problem so i dont know, tho i guess if u sync with pc and save all all your wanted files and do a hard reset, it may sort it.

i've already tried hard reset, rom updating etc...
the problem is still there...((
i've switch "turn off the phone after 3 minutes" off, maybe it would help...
because problem was appearing most of the time if device was lying for 10-20 minutes without working...
update: nope, it's still black(

Think you have a bad device. A problem that is know is that the backlight will turn itself of (but you can still see the screen). This is some times the case with mine and I have the 1.40 rom, however I have had this problem with other roms so it must be some software that I use.

i'm also thinking so...
now i noticed that if you turn the device on and get a black screen, if you wait a minute he will switch the screen on. but why?

Random power-offs? wtf?

I've been running Black 1.2 for some time. Love it. Never soft reset. Only hard reset it once. I'm using a Cingular 8525. What's weird is that it powers itself off randomly lately. 3 times in a row. It was pretty hot outside when it happened, so don't know if the heat caused it, but the screen would just die and turn off. Anyone have this happen? Any ideas as to what causes this powering down? The battery is full. It was just super hot out? Hmmm.

I would suggest you upgrade to a newer rom dude
take a look in my guide thread which has the latest ROMs listed.

I considered it, but since Black 1.2 was released, I never had a problem with it. Very stable. Could it now after all this time just all-of-a-sudden cause random power-offs? Also, I noticed the device likes to power-off when I slide the qwerty keyboard out and lock it in place. Not every time I open it, but it has happened a few times now. ROM related? Let me know. I'll probably up to a newer ROM tonight.
Thanks.

Ok, update: Seems that EVERY time I slide out and lock the qwerty the device shuts off when I go to reply in a messgae using Palm SMS Threader. Is it the device or the app?

I had the same problem with my old JAMin (Prophet). I would keep the phone in a case and then wonder why I wasn't receiving any calls, then check and see the phone having turned itself off. Reloaded it with a different ROM and the problem went away.

Yeah, that's happened a bunch of times now. Just recently did I hard reset my device, and all was running great like before. Just all of a sudden am I having this issue with power offs and the qwerty kicking the phone off when I open it.

I have the same problem and I have come to one conclusion because I can repeat it.
If you are closing or opening the keyboard, but you do it quickly (like slamming the keyboard shut or open), it will turn off. Also, if you squeeze it while it is closed, it turns off. And I have made sure im not hitting the power button.
Try it and see what happens.

Yeah, it does it when you slide it out really fast. Noticed that. Haven't been able to repeat it every time, but the times it does shut-off, its from sliding it open fast. Now to understand why this happens, since it didn't do this in the past.

Phone will not come out of standby

hi guys,
has anyone experienced a problem where their Trinity will not "wake up" with the short press of the on/off button?
I'm sure I read about this some time ago and am trying to work out if it's hardware or OS related.
I'm running mUn's TE WM6 which I have been for many months now.
The problem has only started in the last 2 weeks or so.
I haven't installed anything new, but have enabled Push Mail for OTA mail.
It's doing it 1 or 2 times a day now and is very frustrating. The only way to wake the phone is soft reset.
When calling the phone from a landline, it does not ring and goes to voicemail.
Any advice or solutions gratefully received.

no one seen this then I guess.
Bummer (for me!)

Try hard reset

thanks John.
But do you have any fact based reason for this suggestion?
I'm happy to give it a go if there's more than 50% chance it will work.

You might have loaded a program that is not liked. Use a backup program. If this does not work then load your backup after the hard reset and you will be back to where you started

P3600 with D810 WM6 ROM; also happens occasionally, recovered with soft reset. Seems to happen most often when I press the On/Off button twice too quickly.

thanks guys.
I'm going to try the hard reset route-I'll report back.

Some time ago this happened to me so often, but said it was due to some application, in my case was Slide2Unlock.
Since I removed by their consumption of memory it didn't happened to me.
(Sorry for my english)

Bugger, this has started to happen to me as well. Only 3 times in the last 3 days but if it keeps is up that will be enough for me to do a hard reset (overdue). Strange cause the only new thing I put on in the last week has been PCM 16 which is only a copy/paste exercise.
The fix in the Hermes forum is to force your device to sleep and not let it go into standby.
I have had some problems recently with DeviceLock 1.2 just ceasing to work and have to uninstall/reinstall to make it work again. I set it to turn the screen off when locked, as this does not put the device on standby, maybe there is the same issue with it going into standby by itself.

I have the same problem..i think that it has to do with the phone hanging..most probably due to some background programs eating too much power and memory and the phone just lacks till it hangs..happens when you have other programs that have hanged as well..my problem is with PocketAlarm..it takes so long to load my phone went to standby and the phone couldnt be called back..in brief the phone just hangs because of a program..i don think it has any problem do to with the hardware or strictly the OS..cant really explain..but the role the OS play in this problem is that it allows the program to make full use of the phone till the phone cant cope with it..its the core of the OS so it cant be avoided with any other versions or anything..sorry it seems rather unclear..hope you guys understand..

same problem for me ... from times to times, when a call hang up, i push a lot of times the red button for going back to the today screen and as it shows up, i click immediately on the Power button for turning off the screen. right after when i forgot to do something (approx 1sec) i push the power button and there it doesn't turn on the screen ... strange ...
what i've installed on it :
TomTom 6
BatteryStatus with today plugin ver 1.04.203 beta4 i put tray icons too.
i've bluezard for sniffing and/or hacking bluetooth devices.
OBDgauge too it's a software that works with a bluetooth dongle i plug into the diag port of my car.
and that's all. ah yes one more thing -> i disable the "HTC Home" because i don't like it.

Same problem here...
Still no solution?

I got this problem from some version of rom by Karmba. But V7.2 is OK so far. It seems happened when I close Egress reader by click X button then turn off screen by power switch. It then would not wakeup again. But if I close Egress and check the running programs from Task Manager to make sure the Egress is not running at the background, then I can turn on or off the screen freely.
So I think this wakeup problem is caused by some running program that was not closed properly by X button then crash the WM.
That was just my personal finding. Hope it help you guys a bit.

Vibraton dies in an HTC Dash?

Hi all, I usually have my s621 set to vibrate and ring, just rescently ive noticed it isn't vibrating. I change the profile to vibrate only, and when I get a call or text, the screen lights up, but it still doesn't vibrate. I've only had it for like a month and a half. Any ideas, or ways to test it? Has anyone else had this happen with an htc dash, or any htc device really???

well i did a soft reset and the vibrate function seems to be working now. My s621 will live to see another day

Funny what a soft-reset can do, the IT crowd say it all the time "Turn it off & back on again"

It's true what you say, whenever my phone acts up, I'll soft reset or I just turn it off for a couple of minutes and its back to running great.

Strange problem involving power button, screen and soft rest

Ok, this is a slightly weird but VERY annoying issue..
Today I stopped being able to turn my TP2 on from standby.
What actually happens is when I push the power button, the phone activates, but the screen remains blank.
Pushing the volume buttons turns it up and down ( I can hear the tones)
Hang up and other buttons work ok.
The soft rest button does nothing.
Pulling out the battery restarts the phone, and the screen then works fine. Power button can then be used to turn the screen off, but will not turn it back on again
So long as I then keep the phone awake, all is well, as soon as it sleeps, I am back to the same situation.
Problem number 3 is that the Charging LED is no longer lighting up, but the phone is charging as normal.
I have hard reset the phone, and also flashed the latest WWE ROM from HTC, to no effect.
Charging LED is off even when the phone is shut down.
errrm...
Any ideas???

OMG, i am having the EXACT same issue. powerbutton will sleep phone but not initiate the screen to turn back on, openeing keyboard lights up the keys, closing lights up the buttons under the screen. Ive also hard reset etc.
Any help!?!?
I'm gonna try task29 and see what happens, could that be what caused it? Thats the only new thing ive donw

hmm, also noticed that when booting android, i get an error message: Something used micropkit_lcd_ctrl. This function should no longer be used.
Since the problem deals with the screen/sleep could this be a hint?
BTW: task29 doesnt help at all =[ cant anyone help?

Are you using Windows Mobile or Android?
Hard reset and see if the problem goes away.

running windows mobile and android. Cant boot into android because I receive that error message previously stated... Hard reseting doesnt help =[

Running WM, and I've done 2 hard resets and a ROM flash.
Interestingly enough, the last thing I did before having problems was to run up and play with the latest version of Android, using the cab install version.
Is there some code for that (perhaps used for the power button to intercept the press) that could be remaining in rom after the reset???
Clutching at straws here...

Ok, found this at the end of the Android thread:

thanks a lot, man!
this pretty much solves it - mines' also working now

Note: Flashing hard spl seems to have fixed mine too!

Hmm... could this HSPL also cause a problem with not connecting the device to PC? (device is not reckognized)

Hard SPL Reflash
Hey there, did you just reflash Hard SPL and evertything was fine? or did you hard reset and reflash your ROM also after reinstalling Hard SPL?
Thanks!
Michael

Thanks a bunch for posting hat here bbilko!! will try when I get home from my classes

Well i tried flashing the ROM, and hard rest but that did NOT work
Hard SPL on top of those did, someone else will have to test JUST using Hard SPL to fix the problem

I just booted up into my current rom(firestorm) and didnt let it sleep, plugged it in and flashed hard-spl, and it works now!! So dont hard-reset, just flash over your current rom.

Hmmmmm...
Just out of interest (as I'm always updating and playing with android) which version screwed with the phone?
Although it seems to be resolved, I'd rather not have to go though the bother of re-installing HSPL

I was using the cab install version
Project Android 031710v2.cab
Just to note further, before using it I had not installed Hard SPL, nor had I flashed my TP2 to any official ROMS
