Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 hi, when i first got the phone (yesterday) the screen timed out nicely after 10sec, completely dark, so i changed it to 15 sec, now it gets darker very slowly untill totally black. even now if i change it back to 10 or 5 it does the same? crazy mofo machine, but dont ya still love it. any ideas? (battery life 1 day? sound ok to you?, no video no music)
Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 sweet jesus, its crashed it wont turn off even....... first crash after a day, ty MS
Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 rebooted, still then same, you think the screens gone dark , but actually you can still see it all just
Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 i havent done any updates yet, maybe its that? (only had it a day though)
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Check the "screen save" selection. On will keep the screen on once the backlight has gone off and "off" will turn the screen off after a set time. 1-2 days is about all you get from these phones in battery life.
Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 the screen does go off and it starts to go darker after the set time, but it takes about a minute for the screen go off slowly getting darker in about 4 stages over a minute weird eh
Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 no ideas? any one even heard or seen this before?
Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 OK, theres not a brightness setting is there? and do you save much battery with the screen saver set to turn the screen off completly? cos i can read the screen ok even without the backlight on. im thinking now it must me working ok, but whats the time for the screen saver mode to kick in after the backlights gone off? you cant change it can you? sorry for the muddle in this post.
Guest Lordsmiff Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 Is it possible the battery is coming off or that the phone is rebooting or something? I only ask because if you take the battery off (as opposed to doing a proper shutdown), the screen does something similar to what you describe and seems to fade out slowly. Try and see if this is the same thing... Just a guess :) T.
Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 nice try but battery defo is in.
Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 should the whole screen go blank,if screen saver is on, the same time the back light timeout kicks in?
Guest Lordsmiff Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 OK, I've actually watched what my phone does so I can tell you what happens on mine :) With the backlight timeout set to 5 seconds and screensaver enabled... After 2 seconds, the backlight dims *slightly*...after 5, the backlight goes out completely. About 1 minute later, the screen gets switched off completely (just goess off, no fading). I tried turning the screensaver to disabled and the screen didn't turn off after a minute. However, when I tried turning it back on, it didn't seem to take. I had to go back into power management, check it was enabled again, choose done and then it switched off again after a minute ;) Anyway, HTH :D T.
Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 thanks for that, your a star, thats what mine does. All that :roll: worrying for nothing sorry guys
Guest Lordsmiff Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 No worries :) It's always better to know that your phone is "normal" than worry that it's broken ;) T.
