Hi,
I am facing a problem where, I am unable to save changes to backlight settings.
I went into start-->system-->power and under that advanced tab.
The option where it says turn backlight off after 10 sec.
I changed it to 1 min. It saved the option.
However once the phone restarts, it reverts back to the same 10 sec.
Just to give you head up, I installed advance configuration tool.
i thought it might be something in the registry.
i looked into the registry, found the setting, changed it to 60 sec.
I thought i achieved success....
but... after the soft reset, was back to the same old thing.
Anyone faced a similar problem before.
Its device lock. When you lock your device using device lock it resets your backlight to 10 seconds.
Try changing
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel]
"LockLevel"=dword:00000003
or look at this

I haven't looked into the above solution, but I just wanted to say that I also have the problem of my backlight setting changing back to 10 seconds after soft resetting. I never lock my phone and it still does it, so I don't know if locking the device has anything to do it.
Some things I've noticed are that it always goes back to the default 10 seconds if I soft reset by turning the power off and on using the button on top, but it usually doesn't if I soft reset via HD Tweak's Soft Reset or by pressing the red button in the back...
It's been going on for so long that I go straight to backlight settings to change it back without even thinking about it anymore...

Yes, it has happened to me too, after uninstalling accuweather or something like this. Hard reset works perfectly and I don't think there's other way to fix it.
TO HARD RESET:
-Turn off the phone
-Hold 2 soft keys
-press the power button for 3-5 seconds(still holding two soft keys)
-black screen will show up saying that pressing send key(green) will restore your settings to manufacturing settings.
-press send(still holding two soft keys)
-the end.
Yah but what sucks is that with a hard reset you lose everything and you have to re upload everything back on there...
My Touch Pro 2 kept reverting to the TouchFlo home screen within a couple of seconds of opening other applications (eg. click on a new email, and a second later it goes to TouchFlo. Soft resets didn't make any difference: nor did disabling TouchFlo (from the Settings/Today/Items menu) - it then just reverted to the Windows home screen instead. So I tried to hard reset the machine. I read that the way to do it is to hold send+end+power, but that didn't do anything. Some posts suggested that volume down+reset was the way to do it, so I tried that. I've now got a tricolour screen, which starts:
RHOD100 32M MI-BC
SPL-0.84.0000
A bit more searching suggests that this is the bootloader (?) screen that comes up when you want to flash a ROM, and I feel dangerously close to doing something expensive and irreversible. Any suggestions as to how to get out of this screen? Nothing obvious when I search the forums here. I was thinking of just taking out the battery. And any thoughts on how to hard reset - or how to stop deal with the original problem?
Thanks
You ain't going to mess anything up. You can flash a new rom from there though but there is no way to do it by accident. Don't you hard reset by holding down the green and red call buttons and soft reseting? I remember it being different from the Touch Pro 1.
you might head over to the rom section, read up on the "flashing your phone for the first time" thread. Answer is most likely in there.
Thanks for coming back so quickly guys. The ROM flashing thread didn't explain how to get out of the tricolour screen. Meanwhile I just took out the battery and that did the trick. I still couldn't hard reset using the send+end+power buttons as instructed here and in the manual. I was able to get to the Settings/System/Clear Storage menu and was eventually able to keep it open for long enough to enter "1234". That hasn't dealt with the original problem, though - switching back to TouchFlo after a couple of seconds in each application. It's also beeping incessantly. Any ideas?
It sounds like your device is registering a phantom End key press every couple of seconds. That would explain it popping you out to the home screen and the beeping. If your End key is indeed acting weird, that would also explain why you can't hard reset using the power+send+end key combination.
You should send it in for warranty replacement...

That makes a lot of sense, thanks. Now that you mention it I realise that it's the same kind of beep and the same result as the End key.
I've only had it for 2 months. I'll get on to HTC.
My first issue is that my keyboard stops functioning when i type. i have to go to the menu and reactivate the QWERTY. the QWERTY is already bubbled i just have to pick it again. Its weird my girlfriends phone has the same problem.
also sometimes when i create a new text my phone turns off i have to take out the battery for it to turn on again.
any solutions?
also it randomly switches to another app that i didnt even open... and it loads super slow any ideas?
Hard Reset!
Try to hard reset your phone...although you did not write what ROM you are using?!
I am using stock 6.5 and have never had any problems whatsoever.
my phone is completely stock. what do you mean by hard reset? the reset button under the battery cover? wont that reset everything and delete everything?
The reset button under the battery cover is just for a soft reset (like restarting your computer, it turns off and then turns back on by itself) and you don't loose any information. To hard reset, you need to turn the phone off then hit the call button, end button, and the power button all at the same time. This will erase everything an put it back to the out-of-the-box state. Your user manual will probably better explain since mine is from recent memory.
any other ideas why this might be happening?
also it randomly switches to another app that i didnt even open... and it loads super slow any ideas?
What happened is that i opened an app and then the phone went to sleep, when I unlocked it the screen started to glitch and appear to pressing on the screen for itself. I tried pressing the home button but it was lagging and nothing really happened so I held down the power button and reset the phone. When the phone booted back up and I had to enter my screen lock, I noticed that it wasn't corresponding with where I was pressing, also I pressed on the screen with a quick touch, it appeared that multiple touches registered all over the screen. Since I couldn't get past the screen lock, I turned off the phone, went into Recovery and factory reset the phone. Even after the factory reset, the problem persists so I can't even go through the setup wizard. The phone is completely stock by the way, is there any way to fix this? Or am I going to have to send it back?
Basically most of the post in the title.
I've been playing around, got it rooted with WETA, installed Kali, went back to Stock. In both Kali and now Stock, if the screen times out, or if I hit the power button to lock the screen, it will not come back up and only a hard reboot will get it back.
Same here. I’m rooted but stock rom. Been rooted for a while but this problem only started within last few days. Same exact issue. Booted into safe mode and problem still exists: if screen gets turned off or times out, can not get it to turn back on without hard reset.
I just factory reset mine. I use it for work so I wanted to see if I could reset and restore. During the setup process when it asked for the wifi password I went to the other office to get it and by the time I came back, the screen had timed out and would not come back on still. So, tells me it is not an app and is likely a hardware issue.
Edit: Well, now it seems to be working. I let it sit and restore for a while. Tried to turn the screen on and it took a bit longer than normal but it came on. So far it does not turn the screen on with a screen tap like it used to but it will turn on with a little delay after pressing the power button...
Update on my update: Tablet still has times where pushing the power button or tapping the screen does not turn it on. I basically have to make the motions as if I am opening the magnet case up and the screen will turn on. So, not all the way fixed...
