HTC TP2 Rhodium Screen Won't Stay On - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I have a Tmobile HTC TP2 flashed with Energy Rom and it had been working fine for several weeks. Today the screen randomly turned off and the red light was on. I couldn't soft reset or anything, but removing the battery and putting it back and powering up worked. However, it only stays on for about a minute before the screen turns black again with the red light coming back on. Anyone know what is going on or how to fix this??

Red light ... do you mean the left hand light? That one is orange on my TP2. Is the unit hot to the touch on the back panel?

Yes the left hand light...after looking at it again it does appear to be orange, not red. The back panel does not feel hot, and when the screen goes black, the orange light appears to flicker a little bit as if there may be some kind of power issue or something (but is mainly solid orange like it is when it's charging), I'm not sure. I don't believe it's a problem with the actual battery, because I've tried using a different battery and have gotten the same results.
Edit: It is now staying on longer maybe a few hours compared to the minute or so it was staying on yesterday, but with the same turning off problems. Except I think it is just the screen that is turning off because if I play with the volume buttons, eventually I can hear the volume up/down sounds.
After searching through some forums, it seems it could be a 'Sleep of Death' problem...

help! artemis won't turn on!

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?

Bricked? or Defective phone?

I'm running a stock EVO and yesterday the phone decided to shut off on me. Right after the screen went blank the phone vibrated five times and the led on the front of the screen began to blink green until the battery was pulled. Now every time I try to boot up the phone it will start up just fine and at exactly 2:14 of awake/on time the phone will freeze, go black and vibrate five times then the flashing green led. I have no idea what is going on with it. Anyone else experience this issue?

Screen blacking out on CM7 and Froyo Roms

Hi there,
I experience a weird problem with my Defy that noone else seems to have.
Sometimes my Defy just won't come back from Standby, the Screen stays black. The Touchbuttons at the bottom get luminated if I press the On/Off button, and you can see that the backlight of the screen works as the screens turn into a lighter shade of dark ( ), but still the screen stays black. I know that the phone stays on, as I get haptic feedback by long pressing the Off button.
I had my phone at datrepair for the issue and it came back with a standard Froyo (DACH Retail), but as soon as I flash to other Roms like CM7 or other Froyo builds, voila there it is, screen blacking out from time to time.
Until now I didn't find anyone with that problem, but perhaps any of you guys knows a solution for that problem, as I'm very keen to use CM7, since the Rom is just fabolous. I just don't have the nerves to solve the black screen by removing the battery and inserting it back again every single time it turns up...
Thanks in advance for any help.

My screen wont turn on. Help

Just yesterday i noticed that my phones screen was bugging out, eg. if it bumped into something or set down on a hard surface the screen would
flicker, similar to static, but only for a second. later that day, the screen went black, i thought the battery was low and did a quick battery pull
and it booted up normally. it happened again an hour or two later the, black screen that is. when i got home i really noticed the static as it was
placed on hard surfaces: the table, desk, etc. since it was low on battery i plugged it in to charge for a bit, when i came back to tun it on i was able
when when the screen timed out i wasn't able to turn it back on, i tried the battery pull but nothing, At that point the boot animations wouldn't show
the only things that indicated that the phone was turning on was the notification light and the pouch buttons. when it is "on" i'm able to swipe to
unlock, hold down and get the feedback of when you want to move an app or widget. The phone is on but the screen is black. oh and when i try
to go into recovery or download mode the screen is still black,
im wondering if its a busted screen but the thing is there are no cracks or anything on the screen maybe a few minor scratches but that's it

truthfully, i haven't a clue, but i can guess, if you are talking storage wise, around 3-5 gigs.

Phone turns on but black screen

I was at the store and my phone was about 5% battery life, so I turned off my phone. And got home plugged my phone in the charger and came back couple minutes later. When I turned my phone on, I got the samsung logo then nothing else. I feel the phone vibrate when turning on. Then I heard my phone unlock but the screen was black with multi-color dots all over the screen. The LEDs, home, back, etc buttons light up fine, hear the volume when I turn it up but just get this black screen with those dots.
Yes I did flash an rom but thats been weeks ago and never had an issue. Its the carbon 4.2 rom.
