Screen light keeps switching off on Wizard

[wizardragon]

The screen backlight has a habit of turning off after a few secs, and will not come back on with the exception of about 90% of the time when you put the camera on.

This fixed itself after I used lokiwiz - but since installing other applications has returned again.

Any ideas?

I have now realised despite the phone being unlocked (sim and CID) with lokiwiz - the phone is only switching its backlight off when used with a NON original supplier sim - so clearly there is an additional lock in the phone that lokiwiz cannot see.

That must just have been a coincidence - as it is now doing it with the original sim now too.

It switches on initially - but once the screen back light foes off - either by time or by being put on standby - then only the screen resarts - but is unlit.

Although starting the camera can sometimes fix this.

It also runs very slowly often when this happens - so slowly it can take the windows busy icon ten seconds to go between each 22.5 degree incriment as the 'shadow' rotates over the circle with coloured quarters.

Any ideas?

Did you figure out the issue? I am having the same problem.

I have never had this problem but I set up my dad's MDA Vario as a clone of mine at the weekend and got this.

The only differences are he has
1) a SIM lock pin number
2) a GPRS connection.

Both SIMS are Vodafone

Any similarities?

Nope. I was running Custom TMO 2.17 with no issues. Earlier I installed Core Pocket Movie Player and reset. After reset, backlight keeps staying dark. I can turn it up through the settings but each time it powers off or goes into screen saver it stays dim and I have to reconfigure.

i have the same problem, it seems unrepeatable to me though, it just does it when it wants...

Its going fine now. But I have not been near a PC for ages.

I cannot remember exactly how i did it as it was about 7 weeks ago - but i found the solution on the modico forum and the phone runs like a dream now with the exception of crashing once.

I had this same problem on my xda mini s which i bought from 02 over a week ago with the back light kept going on and off..

How i got round this..

I noticed in backlight settings there r battery power and external power if you have external power turn off option say x secs set as well as battery power turn off x secs you get that random shutting off..

I removed the option in external power say turn off in 5 secs unticked that and set it only in battery power ticked

Now mine stays on for around 5 mins or whatever u wana set it to through battery power with no problems....

Hope this helps....
