Hello,
My On/Off button does not work anymore.
Only incoming call, soft reset, or USB pluging awakes my P3300
* Is there a way to hard reset anyway, as it could fix the problem.
* If impossible or useless, what's the best way to backup the whole before sending to repair.
Thanks for your kind help,
Jean-Jacques
Not sure if this is the same as I had, but my device (o2 XDA) appeared dead with a blank screen apart from USB and calls. The device was still working though, as I could here key clicks when I pressed the screen. I plugged it into USB and checked the screen brightness when on battery, this had somehow set itself to dark, adjusted it back up again and everything back to normal.
Have met this on several Qtek, with no known fix to this bug...
Mine is gone back for repair, as the problem was th on/off button.
Thanks danpier.

My on/off button was also faulty for a short while. It rectified itself after a few days and hasn't been any bother at all since. Same sympoms, you could turn the display on/off only by fiddling with the button, pushing it to one side etc.
i found the reason - problem is with backlight settings.
Artemis is not compatible with any phone profiles software - disabling this software or any options related to backlight will solve the problem.
Do not use backlight controls from Spbp PocketPlus as well.
my on off button was a bit sticky, the other day, i hope its not on its way out!!!

Just read your post and it must explain why my three day old Orbit will not wake up from sleep mode by pressing the on/off button. I installed PocketPlus day one and have touched the backlight control.
Do you suggest I now have to remove pocketplus and reinstall it or is there a way round this?

Just to answer my own question I have solved my problem with the on/off switch not turning the screen back on.
I turned PocketPlus screen brightness to highest, then went into MS screen brightness, turned them both down and then up to full again (preumably overwriting any changes PocketPlus made) - now my on/off switch works for sleep mode as it should.
Hope this helps somebody else.

No.. just:
- remove backlight control from pocketplus tab
- go to control panel and set proper values again
it was enough for my p3300.
Astier: please, make sure it is really on/off issue. Artemis' LCD is very dark without backlight. I found the answer during my trip to Spain in bright noon sun
Onother solution is, map spb pocketplus brightness control to your buttons so you can control screen brightness easily by flicking the buttons.
Backlight settings in PocketZenPhone are also incompatible with Artemis and are causing this issue.
Pocket Plus v.3.2 backlight issue resolved...
Although I have not upgraded to this version yet, SPB claims to have resolved the annoying backlight issue with the newest version of SPB's Pocket Plus:

Please post if others have found that this indeed does work!

Hi,
I'm a longtime reader but never posted too much but I search and found nothing on the backlight for the HTC S60. Is there a way to dim the screen or brighten it? Can we set the duration?
I can whip up a program if it is a registry change but I would need to know where to modify it. I've found stuff for non Dash/S620 phones...
tornado power control
every low light program i have tried locks the backlight on when you are done using it. i'm pretty sure i have used tornado but maybe i will try it again.
Hey Guys,
After playing around with all my registry settings I found that the changing the QKeyLedTimeout did easily change my keyboard backlight timeout, but that if the screen dimmed or suspended it would automatically shut off my keyboard backlight.
Does anyone know of a way to unlink these two factors so I can have my screen dim after 10 seconds but the keyboard last for 30 seconds? Thanks.
Anybody know any workarounds to the backlight issue with CM 7.1 stable?
It's getting pretty frustrating that I have to plug in my phone to a charger or USB slot in order to get the screen working again. I have tried previous members post about unlocking the screen when there is a black screen (performing the gesture without seeing what your doing), however this doesn't always work.
Has anyone else had any luck? It seemed as if this issue started to occur when I applied a GPS fix, but not 100% certain that is the root culprit.
This is not a permanent solution, but does help reduce the occurrences of the issue.
-Disable auto rotation
-Disable auto brightness
-Try a different lock screen. Some seem to be more pron-able than others...
I'm still having this issue too. Getting really annoying! The backlight will turn on MAYBE 50-60% of the time the first time I turn it on. The rest of the time, I have to turn the screen off and on again until the backlight comes on.
I'm running the 8/12 build of jmz's primoC CM9. The backlight on my softkeys don't seem to be lighting up properly. When I go into settings and toggle my brightness off auto, the softkeys light up, but then they don't come back on while using the phone. When I toggle to auto, the softkeys turn off. Seems backwards...? I'm kinda stumped. Tried out Lux brightness and it seemed to fix the issue, but if I reboot the phone it gets confused again. Not a big deal during the day, but at night it's annoying to not be able to see these keys.
Anyone else having this issue? Thanks.
