After 30 seconds or so the TP2 goes into standby, oddly mine doesn't anymore and I keep forgetting to turn off the screen and then running out of battery.
Any ideas?
Check your battery/backlight settings.
Hello,
i got the same effect.
I put the setting i.e. to 10 seconds screen off and 1 minute poweroff in accumode and 1 min. screen off and 1 min. poweroff. It wont be recognized by the phone. It stays on, with screen and device on.
At first I thougt it was some effect produced by the glight app i tested out, because i noticed this error not directly.
So i made a hardreset, but the effect is the same with the original htc rom without any mods, spl or some of this stuff.
any new ideas ?

Just a random thought:
If you're screen won't turn off, perhaps it thinks the screen is being tapped somewhere or a button is being pressed? If so, then you've got a hardware defect...
Ideas on testing this:
Create a new Note in drawing mode. See if any random spots/lines appear on screen. Try in both portrait and landscape.
Install the Rhodium Keyboard Controller. Add a new hardware key to map. If there's a key acting up, it should be picked up here.

My PDA2k seems to be turning itself off even when in use :?
I use TomTom3 in the car, and even when the power is plugged into the bottom it was turning off ever few minutes.
I just took a phone call and when I has finished talking I noticed the screen had gone blank and pressing the red handset didn't bring it back, the power button did. (I do have screen lock on).
Having said that, thinking about it, I was watching TV progs on WMP on the way home and it never shut itself off once :?:
Anyone have any idea what is going on? Is this normal?
I have an o2 XDA2 S running TomTom 3 with the TomTom cradle. I occassionally find that the pda just turns itself off.
It doesn't happen all the time.
I have also found that sometimes during a call the pda turns itself off and I cant get it back on by pressing the handset key, just the on off button.
Cheers

click start>settings>system>backlight . . in here you can change the time it takes to turn off in not touched the device, 5 mins max.... also if you click button lock in system settings, you can set it so that when it happens, you can tap screen and it comes back on again.... tho i prefer to keep that off, otherwise it may ring people while it its protective case.. :lol:
and going by all the software that is out for these xda's, you can prob find a programe /or hack to change it even longer if you need that!!!
But when it is on external power (plugged into the car using TT3), it shouldn't shut down at all. Aside that, when in use (when receiving a call) I wouldn't think it should shut down should it?
I have a seperate scren lock installed too. I found the built in one not enough. When it is in my belt pouch and I get a text, or connect to my BT car kit or something, it wakes it up. All of a sudden all the keys are being pressed (by the squeeze of the case) and all kinds of applications are opening!
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!
Hi, i have just got a new xda orbit and noticed that when the backlight goes off after a set period (30 secs), it seems to be still lit but only very slighty, so at night you still see the today screen etc. But if i press the power button then the display goes off. Is this correct ?
The reason im asking as i have been using an xda mini s for over a year and when the backlight times out the display is not visible at all in the dark. You have to press the power button to see the screen again.
Hope this makes sense
Yes, that is fine. The dim backlight will go out in time too.
MaskedMarauder is 100% right. It will go out eventually.
Ok thanks guys for the quick reply, just obsevered it last night and noticed it was different.
Thanks again...
I've tried posting about this before, but it never gets answered - i've got a mda III, and that dims to brightness 1 (from within the registry), but will never go out - regardless of what rom i've tried.
I've also noticed that i can force set it to 0 in the registry, but thats the overall screen brightness. None of the other reg keys (putting bkl1:, etc in the various power keys) seem to work.
Any one got any ideas or utils to sort this? I'd try to code this as there are some code samples which allow you to force this, but i've not got VS
Like you i've tried all the registry edits i can think off to no avail. I too have a wizard and find this irritating - plus backllight stays on when media player on etc.. No difference with wm6 so i guess it maybe a hardware issue. I use a small app to turn off display when apps are running and i want the display off.
I use backlight time of 30 secs and power of 1 minute - so overall similar to my wizards backlight time of 1 minute.
why not..
why not just pres the I/O button on the side to turn off the backlight when u don't want it on? obviosuly a bit of a hassle, but if u get into the habit of doing it, no problems
Because that puts the device into standby and turns everything else off too (except the phone etc.) So if your listening to music your plunged into silence.
I had an XDA2i (Alpine) previous to my Orbit and I actually prefer the dimmed screen.
A brief press on the 1/0 power button WILL make the device go into standby.... BUT...
press and HOLD the power button for LONGER than 2-3 seconds and it toggles the backlight on and off, whilst STILL keeping the device on!
hope this helps

Good Morning all...
I've been running different builds of Android on my Kaiser since around October of 2010 and have yet to run into this one.
After initial boot and the screen blanks after 1 minute (what I have it set to do), if I try and press power (or "end"), the phone wakes to a blank screen.
I have not run into this problem on my spare phone yet but my assumptions are that the OpenGL driver is not being set correctly after wake-up. If I keep the screen on, everything is fine. Once the phone sleeps, it won't wake up. It does react as if the screen works because the phone will vibrate after holding power or end for a second or two. I can even get the phone to shut down, remembering where to press to shut it down, all with a blank screen.
Thoughts, theories, etc.?
Mods, please delete this thread. I have just about given up on any hope of a decent kernel for these phones.
Thank you.
I was using FlareM stock kernel... With Bear N Russian Os for more than a week without any prob.
It was midnight i left my phone charging. I woke up and used my phone for normal usage.
The next morning double tap to wake my phone. The screen awake but nothing was showing up it was blank
DT2W was working but the whole screen was blank. Black Screen Flash. In curiosity i thought i have to restart. I forced power off my phone.
After a few seconds i start my phone. Phone gives a gentle double vibrate. But its blank nothing at all is showing. The screen is total blank. No boot screen, i cant go Recovery.... Just Blank, Nothing.
When i start it just vibrates.
Computer detects USB when it Vibrates. After awhile its gone.
The vibrate comes up every aproximately 5 minutes. Keeps soft double Vibrate every 5 min, i guess its restarting by itself until i press the power button again for 10s where it switches off.
Please give me a solution. I'm so confused how could this happen overnight
Owh, And i tried Solution where we need to re place the 3 wires above battery. Not working.
No charging indication too since this prob occur.
:crying:
Do you think i should try this Method?
