TP Locking Up Overnight

Awesome, this is my first WinMo device so I wouldn't know, but that is awesome if that was needed to keep it from happening with the Apache

/me fingers crossed.

i just had mine lock up this morning when i woke up! the screen is black but the white leds stay lit. its the first time that happened to me ever since i got the phone. i doubt those settings are gonna help tho, because my phone always had those settings on and it never froze, until today.

[bullet2300]

You had both the Today timeout unchecked and the turn device off after.... on external power unchecked too?

[xunknownx]

no, they were checked. i unchecked it now, but i dont think its going to help.

[bullet2300]

Agreed, but keep your fingers crossed...

So for this uncheck external power button to work, do I need to let the phone sit there with the backlight partially on all night? Or can i just hit the power button and turn off the screen manually?

[bullet2300]

I BELIEVE (please correct me if I am wrong) display has nothing to do with the device itself - that has it's own option.

Sooo I thinnnk we can hit the power button to turn off the display and the device will still be active.. yes?

[Yankees368]

Well what I meant was that all the option we ticked out was to turn the backlight off. Will turning it off manually before i go to sleep have the same result?

[bullet2300]

Ohh thats what that was? I assumed it was the device itself not backlight I have no idea lol maybe someone else would know who had to do it in the past.. !


The backlight has it's own option though.... you sure?

It is indeed the device itself and NOT the backlight.

Uncheck power device off after XXX Time on External Power.
You can keep the backlight settings on whatever you want.
