backlight will not turn off

Hello,

The back light will not turn off regardless of the time setting that I put the light to go out under power /advanced settings. It does not wokr for either battery or external power. :(
Any help?

Re: backlight will not turn off

Yes several times but nothing.
I even called Sprint tech support and they could not figure a solution.

Re: backlight will not turn off

Sounds like a hardware malfunction.
Have you tried a hard reset? Or how about reflashing the shipped rom?

Re: backlight will not turn off

no hard reset yet,
i was hoping this to be the last choice.
Do you loose all data in hard reset?

Re: backlight will not turn off

yes. just back it up and give it a go. If it doesn't work then you can get a free warranty replacement

Re: backlight will not turn off

let me get this straight,
if I hard reset, does it come back to the original sprint set up?
or I have to install all the sprint programs after?

thanks

Re: backlight will not turn off

If you have never flashed a custom rom or radio on to it, when you do a hard reset it will return to brand new out of the box condition.

Re: backlight will not turn off

Re: backlight will not turn off

yes, you have to unlock the phone first. Instructions here. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503

I recommend Mighty's Rom. His is most popular. Here's a link http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=52695
But everyone has different taste. You can check all the different roms out in the upgrade sub-section here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68

Let me know if you need any help with it.

Re: backlight will not turn off

i am a bit hesitant to do a hard reset to fix my backlight issue due to that i have a lot of programs that obviously will need to be reinstall etc.

anybody else knows another way that this backlight issue will get fixed?
i am restating the issue here: the backlight will not go off no matter what option i choose in the advanced power settings
thanks

I thought of something just now when you mentioned something. Do you happen to have nuepower cpl installed? If you do, try messing with those settings. If you don't, then install it and see if what happens. You can get it at nuerom.com.

Re: backlight will not turn off

im on a custom rom and sometimes mine will suspend all the way but sometimes the screen goes black but barely lit and just drains the battery..

cooked windows 6.5? what are you talkin about? there's already tons of 6.5 roms in the upgrade forum.

Also, you forgot to answer a question i asked. Do you have any nue tools installed?

the chefs don't put sprint software in their roms because it's useless to everyone else on alltel, verizon, bell, telus, criket, USCC, MetroPCS. The roms are made for everyone so there's no carrier specific software in them. Those sprint programs are very easily available for download so you can install after flashing.

I just found it better to have the "power off" checked to save battery instead of having the backlight turn off....or dim in my case. 8)
