Hi folks,
Today I realised that after I turn the auto-rotation on, my phone refuse to set itself to landscape mode as it should. I also tried the game bikerace, which was working a few days ago, now the bike constantly makes backflips as if I turned my phone upside down. No matter which direction I hold my phone, it always makes backflips, and never frontflips.. I usually turn the auto-rotation off so I don't know since when this issue exist. I'm sure not more than a week. even factory reset didn't help. any ideas?
The attached picture is a screenshot taken when the phone was absolutely horizontal-positioned.
Thanks

Hey guys so my Tilt 2 has been having an issue when I put it to sleep. It goes to sleep fine, but when I wake it up the screen remains black. The actual device turns on, but the screen stays black. I can still make calls, receive calls, play music, etc. but I have to soft reset the device if I want to be able to see what I am doing.
From what I can tell my problem is different from the normal Sleep of Death issue where the device simply won't wake up.
I've searched through the forums looking for solutions and have tried pretty much everything from doing a hard reset, using different roms, formatting the internal memory, etc. Even after doing all of this, my device still suffers from this issue.
Any insight into my problem would be greatly appreciated!
I assume you've tried a simple reset using the reset button or pulling the battery out and putting it back in?

Yeah every time I the screen goes black I soft reset it in order to get the screen to turn back on. The problem is that the issue persists through soft resets. I currently can't suspend my device because I can't get the screen to turn back on...
hold down the volume down button and then press the reset button (the physical reset button) this should bring you into your bootscreen the multicoloured screen.. if you can get there then you can flash a new rom on your phone... and thats a whole other ball game. It gets a lot of hype as being hard but its really super easy to do if you just follow the directions.
Tilt 2 dark screen solved
With the tilt 2, if the screen does not wakeup, but you can answer the phone, hear music, etc..., it is a malfunctioning light sensor, maybe hardware, or software related (drivers), but it is fixable. Just eliminate all calls for use of the light sensor.
I had this problem and took quite a while to figure it out, as there are several apps that poll the light sensor that cause problems.
First, go to start/settings/system/power/backlight and uncheck the auto adjust backlight option
Second, go to start/settings/personal/buttons/backlight and uncheck the enable keyboard auto backlight sensor.
Last, open advanced config (need to download and install from touchxperience.com, if you do not have it), tab to light sensor and set light sensor polling to disabled.
Now, my phone works normal and will wake up properly from standby like it should. this all seems hardware dependant, as I have in my family 3 of these things and I dropped and broke mine, so bought a new one (4th in the series) and it had the SOD issues, but could restart with softrest. Took me the better part of the day to find a reliable fix, but now all is well again.
Hope this helps other Tilt 2 and similar issues.
Im still trying to figure out whats going on with my TP2. all the stuff ive read says turn auto light adjust off. done. could be a hardware problem with the light sensor.. not sure it worked day before yesterday. task 29 and flashed two different rom. flashed htc's newest radio Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27 and Energy.RHODIUM.29017.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Mar.21 (which the my location and weather isnt working for me) still the same problem with the screen not waking up. went through the reg and found the proximinty senors light control made sure they were set to 0. i havent tried holding it up to a bright light yet.. but after it sleeps or a call comes in and when going to end the call you can barley make out the end call and keypad buttons if im out side. Please someone help me with this or maybe someone can at least tell me whats wrong.. ive been up all night and day reading trying to fix this. how could the light sensor go out all the sudden? but before the screen sleeps it works fine.. im confused
Reseat your stylus.
I had the same prob come up. I had the auto brightness 'on' since I had this rom. I turned it 'off' and set the brightness to 30%. Then the problem started happening. I turned the auto back 'on'. Didn't work. Turned auto 'off' and set bright to 100%. Didn't work. Turned auto back 'on'. Started pressing sleep button repeatedly while slipping out the stylus.
All the steps were done with soft resetting the phone following the auto 'on'/'off'.
Found this out by accident.
Same rom as you too.
I have to slip out the stylus to get it back on somethimes
I am having the same problem! I was hoping for a registry fix.. The only thing I can do to get my screen back once its off is to pull the battery.. thats a pain in butt!
I have done a factory reset, the stylus thing and nothing works so far.
Please Help us if anyone has the answer or a registry tweak for us!
Thanks
1.If you slide your screen up, does it come on?
2.If you slowly slide your screen up while repeatedly pressing the power button, does it come on?
Mine just started having this same problem too. ^#2 works for me.
Nothing Works
Nothing works for me..
I have to pull the battery and and set the phone to leave the light on all the time..
Then if the phone rings the light goes out, I cant see who is calling and have to pull the battery again..
Sure hope someone knows a registry fix soon.. its driving me nuts!
Nope none of that works. pull out stylus the call keys come on but no screen. slid the keyboard out the keyboard lights come on but no screen... guess im just gonna run andriod untill they get the nand booting fully functional with GSM. to hell with windows.. not only mobile windows has always been crap!
I had the same problem, it was caused by a third party software (last version of FreeOTFE4PDA). Before giving up, try a hard reset and install third party software after a few days.
This problem started back up for me. Guess I'll be flashing again.
Seems like it's a problem with the latest NRG roms. This started happening with the last two and I haven't installed any extra programs.
OK guys, here is a official fix for SoD that I have prepared for ya.

Still Didnt Work
Thanks so much for trying with that fix.
I have tried your fix twice, hard booted twice.. nothing seems to work on 6.5..
I can boot over to android and the back light comes back on.. its crazy that I cant
get it to wake up in winmo! Please let me know if there is a registry fix that Im not
seeing??
Thanks so much..
I've got a problem with a OneX I'm trialling for work.
This is a stock device with the latest OTA update applied. I installed Good for Enterprise, activated it, and got my work emails. I opened a PDF attachment which opened for a couple of seconds then the display glitched.
The attached images show what I mean. The display is glitched for every screen. Soft resetting the phone was okay until it started again a couple of minutes later.
Soft resetting a 2nd time was where my real problems started. The phone vibrated as it started, but the display stayed dark. If I tap the power, the touch buttons light up. If I go through the motions of the lock ring and my gesture lock, I feel vibrations of my actions but can't see a thing. If I ring the phone, it rings, the touch buttons light up and the LED blinks. The display stays dark at all times.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? It's almost like when a graphic card overheats in a PC.
I would try a hard reset, see what that does, it should fix it as it looks like software problem
Squeeze your phone between thumb and forefinger (on the screen and rear cover) about 1.5-2cm in from the USB port, and slightly below. Let us know if the screen comes back on.

I think your phone is on drugs.
Seriously though, that's the scariest gfx bug I've seen on a phone.
Work were just as surprised as everyone else.
It's been sent back to them so they can talk with Vodafone about just what's happened with it.
In the few days I had it, it's a decent phone. The primary reason for considering the OneX is the screen size, and the fact you can read a PDF clearly on it.

Mine looks exactly the same once Ive had a few whisky's...
I had the exact same problem, so I shipped off my phone to service.
They actually changed the whole motherboard. I got my phone back 2 days ago, and it is working better than ever. Even better than before they changed the board.
My guess; Same problem as me. Busted motherboard. Im waiting to get a reply from the service guys that fixed my phone, so I can get some solid answers about what was actually wrong.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Sebastian
I have no rules set for switching into power save modes, yet I keep finding my phone in power save mode with all the radios turned off. I'm using a case with a viewing window if that means anything. Anyone else having this issue?
I had this issue, and my wife had it too. I ended up disabling the power saver on both our phones. I have since enabled it again on mine, and it has been behaving properly. No idea what causes it or why mine now seems to be working OK, but it is a very annoying bug.
How did you disable it?
Dan
I use the "Disable Application" app by BIZKAI Apps from the Play Store. You need root, obviously.
I was afraid of that. I've not rooted the phones yet.
Dan
This has been happening to me also and i dont have it set to switch but it will randomly do it and turn off my network. This phone is really pissing me off.
Something you might want to try is to go to power saver-> smart switch-> switch by schedule and change it from battery saver to normal. It sounds like a bug that someone mentioned a while ago: smart switch's switch by schedule runs even when it is not turned on.

Not related to OP's issue as they have the View Case which I hope prevents this, but I have found that the phone activates in my pocket and often enables flight mode, power saving mode, and other random toggles. Noticed that when the phone is in a pocket facing my body, wild things happen. facing away and nothing happens.
Take your phone out, turn the screen on and rub it on your knee. You will see that the touch screen is so sensitive that it responds through the fabric of your plant leg. This seems to be a problem for me from time to time, but the new slide to unlock on the view window has fixed some of the issues.
Hi guys, yesterday I worked on the phone and from one moment to another it went Black, I restarted it and when it turned on the image began to flash, I managed to put it in 60hz and 144hz and it was worse, when I entre the recovery mode it is seen without no problem, will it be a problem With the rom? Or screen died, if someone knows something ir would be very helpful, thanks!!
PD: when I adjust the brightness it works well, but once locked or opening some camera-like app it goes black and doesn't turn back on.
