Now, I am new to HTC and custom ROMs. My friend helped me with flashing the ROM, but no matter what ROM we put on it, one same problem would come up with all of them. When I slide it open or press the power button to wake it up, the screen will remain blank (black), but the keyboard lights up. THe sliding sound will not happen. We have tried 2 different 6.1 WM and 3 different 6.5 WM. From Lite to regular ROMs, but no matter what, we would get the same thing with all of them. There is no determined situation when it would happen, it just does it when it wants to...
Anyone else have this problem and/or know the solution?
Thank you in advance.

Try to use a good combination of hardspl and radio. If you have flashed cooked rom, chefs always recommend which ones work better with their roms. Also, search in the rom's thread to see if these roms have a fix for the sleep of death.

Hi
First of all, I am a complete newbie and needs directions from experienced.
Bought AT&T Tilt on eBay and this is my very 1st smart phone of any sort.
It came with Schaps 4.30 Rom.
I have 3 questions.
1. Where do I start as far as cooked Rom is concerned ?
I've started reading Kaiser and AT&T specific wiki but not sure if I should
try and upgrade. I see there are other variants for WM6 and WM6.1 but I
don't even know how bad is the stock one.
Is there comparision/bench marks for different Roms ?
Btw, I won't be using any internet-related program for next 6 months.
Assuming I stick to Schaps 4.3 Rom for while, I have 2 issues.
2. Whenever I go to Setting->System->Screen->Align, the phone freezes
and only way out of it is to soft reset.
All buttons don't work and the screen doesn't respond to tabbing.
What is wrong ?
4. Alarm clock. I have been using my old mobile phone to wake me up every
morning. It's loud and continuous until I press stop or snoop in which case
it goes off again in 5 mins or so.
However, the one in Setting/Clock in Kaiser is no way near annoying.
Its volume is very low and all the alarm sounds that I can choose are too
friendly to wake me up.
Is there a better alarm program out there ?
Any advice/tip appreciated.
Thanks.
Some of your problems sound like the could be related to YOUR device specifially. Look up all the "newbie" guides to flashing in the search section. (top right...lower...lower..there it is.) Try changing your rom. I use mostly Alex's and dutty's stuff. They're dummy proof.
well it all depends if u want to flash ur phone to another rom..no one else is gonna make that decision for u...just make sure if u do read all the wikis...ALL of them and make sure u have a good understand of it...make sure u read other wikis relating to it as well...
the more you read and understand the less you make problems for yourself to dig out of
I see the thread is closed. I was in the process of replying when it must have been closed. I think you might have some hardware problems from what you describe. I would NOT flash a new ROM until you try to pin down the cause of the lack of screen response and buttons not working. These two problems can be associated with a loose d-pad connector or ribbon connector.
This depends on which buttons are not responding.
If you flash with a broken digitizer then you will face problems when you come to thw automatic alignment screen following the flash. To flash would be a gamble. It could solve your problems BUT it could mean you cannot get past the alignment settings screen.

I have an AT&T tilt and I just upgraded it to the WM6.1 ROM from the HTC webpage and since then I have noticed that when I turn of the screen, all of a sudden it just lights up for a sec and turns off again, without any reason, is there a way to fix this, do i have to flash it again? what do I have to do?
i have the same issue, seems like after i flashed it happened.. any ideas?
one cool feature is that when it flickers, if u press the screen constantly, it flickers.. like a strobe light.. lol
I have the same problem. It's annoying because I think I'm getting a text or call. and usually I don't receive texts, i have to see it light up then press the mail button to see if I have a new text. ARGH.
My Tilt does the same thing. It's a whiteish-gay light. It'll come on for short bursts or I'll notice it on in the middle of the night, and who knows how long it's on until I notice it.
I had upgraded to WM6.1 a while back, and didn't have any issues, but had to hard reset my Tilt and it has been doing it since.
It doesn't do it all the time, either. Weird.
Mine Does The Same Thing
I hope there is a fix some time for this ..
I'm glad i am not the only one, but havent found a fix yet
I seem to remember there being an issue with screen flicker when the Tilt first came out, I think it was related to having Telnav selected in the today screen items tab. Try removing the checks one item at a time from the items tab, I doubt it will be as simple as a software conflict but it could be worth trying.
I had an issue with SPB Pocket Plus on my today screen, once I moved it in to a tab on SPB Shell the issue disappeared.
Fixxed?
I dont know if it just stopped doing it, I am not paying attention anymore or if one of the many things I did finally worked, but the truth is i havent seen it do it again, Thanks to everybody
It been happening on my Tilt since I got it last month.
This is happening on my tilt too... only after upgrading to 6.1. Glad to see it is not just me, but very concerning that this is a problem directly in the 6.1 TILT rom.
Bump........
Any body have any luck on this? I continue to have this problem.
Adding my voice and another symptom
is anyone else having this problem:
1. lock the tilt by tapping 'device unlocked'
2. tap the power button.
3. the backlight comes on, no picture but instead of flashing it stays on draining the battery
4. tap the power button to turn the tilt back on
5. tap the power button to turn tilt back off again
6. tilt stays off.
the issue did not change with the backlight hotfix.
Maybe try another ROM
Finally, i found others with this stupid glitch
I thought it was a hardware error, so i had AT&T send me a warranty/replacement, and guess what... comes out of the box and STILL DOES IT! Has anyone with this problem tried installing a DIFFERENT ROM, like one from the XDA forums? I'm about to try that, because i am fed up with this. I will report if it works. ARG!
Sorry for the ranting. but in a way, i'm relieved. that there are others with this problem
... It might pay to just go back to Windows Mobile 6.0.....
-=ZYXTIA=-
Different ROM fixed problem, but just had more problems after. Sorry guys.
Me Too...
I am glad that I have found other people with the same issue as me. I thought it was just my phone, as I do a lot of backups and restores after I do something stupid with my phone and I also use a lot of beta/unstable software, and figured it was caused by these. However, it only happened after I upgraded to 6.1 stock ROM. Maybe somebody can figure out exactly why this happens, and then we can come up with a fix. I am just happy that I'm no longer alone with this issue
-Dave
I'm very pleased to know that it isn't just me experiencing this stupid backlight issue.
It started happening the second I upgraded to WM6.1
Funny thing is, it only happens to me if I Lock the phone (keys) and turn off the screen. If I just turn off the screen without locking, the backlight stays off.
It would be really great if someone could come up with a fix for this that doesnt require me to reflash my phone with some cooked up rom
has anyone tried this hotfix?

i'm experiencing the same problem, will try it and post back as soon as i can
edit: didn't work. got some error about it couldnt remove the old customization tool or something like that
Running the AT&T 6.1 ROM and silly thing turns on by itself at 12 midnight. No connection to anything as I leave it in Flight Mode. Only goes off after I hit the Power Button. Drains the battery down to about half by the time I leave for work at 7AM.
Really is annoying!
Possible Solution
If you are still under warranty, call up AT&T warranty replacement (Customer service is 1-800-331-0500, and just ask for warranty department), and tell them you have this problem. TELL THEM YOU THINK IT IS A HARDWARE ISSUE, and they will send you a replacement, refurbished Tilt. The next one will also have WM6.1 on it, and do the same thing. HOWEVER, it is AT&T policy that after two replacements, instead of getting another one the third time, they give you a refurb of a DIFFERENT MODEL. That is how i got the AT&T FUZE (a.k.a. the HTC Touch Pro, a.k.a the "Raphael"). It doesn't have that problem. But otherwise, i have no other suggestions. i'm just sick of having AT&T screw up the phone's software, and then try to pass it off as quality.
Mine comes on exactly at midnight!
Annoying as hell...and the light from it wakes me up from across the room.

Hey there i was hoping some one could help me out. I have 2 things
1.) The Battery Icon on the top bar does not update at all. It just shows a full charge no matter how much charge my phone has, When I plug it in it doesn't change to charging either. If I go to battery properties I then can see how much charge my phone has. Anyone encountered this?
2.)2 buttons on my key board are reversed. The 2 Fn Blue buttons "!" and "@" are reversed, how do I change those?
I am on rom version Stylez Black WM 6.1 Full v.3 Beta 2

It is also addressed in the faqs on the first page of the rom. Why people throw their phone in to the fire with out even spending 5 min to read the faqs is still beyond me. I have flashed my phone well over a hundred times and I still read the entire first page of any new rom I am flashing, to see what I am getting into with my $500 phone.
As far as the taskbar icons go, could be a bad flash, could just be a phone hiccup, no one else has had that problem with the rom. Try a hard reset or reflash the rom.
Thanks for the fast responses! I totally missed the keyboard fix on the FAQ, I got everything else (including the Radio from the FAQ) but that slipped by me.
now I am still new at tweaking my phone so will a hard reset restore all my setting and I will have reinstall all my programs I downloaded?
Just Figured out a Hard Reset will Erase all my Data. So no one else has had this problem...hhmmmm... It has to be one of the programs I installed, Maybe if I uninstall them 1 at a time ...... anyone else got any Ideas?
Hey everyone,
My problems consists of:
- The screen/touch is off. I've done Screen Alignment, it works for a couple hours or so then it just starts to have a mind of its own again
- When I slide the keyboard out, the screen does not rotate, it's just frozen in portrait mode. However, responds to the keys I push on the keyboard, I've tested it by texting someone.
The ROM I was using was a Generic NAM R3A WM6.1 when this problem occured, tried to re-flash with the same ROM, no luck and finally a custom one (Touch X 10.8) and unfortunately, still no luck.
I've never dropped the phone or done any modifications to it. Am I doomed and will have to send the phone in for repairs or is there another way to fix all this?
Thanks

If I were you, I'd have it back in the shop in no time. But you will need to put back the original rom, otherwise your guarantee will be gone.
Good luck!
Don't forget to revert the SPL since you flashed it to hard SPL.
If You make a new topic then it's pointless to use not at all informative cries for help. It does not say anything about the problem you are having.
The title should say something about the issue so people who know something about notice it and can offer to help and people having the same issue later can find this topic.
Sorry, I'm new to this message board and not really around either.
hey i just bought a x1 and it has a keyboard issue.. when i slide it open the screen doesn't rotate and it kinda freezes, whatever buttons i push doesn't do anything. once i slide it closed everything i pushed happens.. it originally had the pure upgrade wm6.5 rom on it when i bought it. i tried installing different roms - barebones,stock rom,826x and none has fixed the keyboard issue. what can i do?
Nothing I guess, except trying another rom; every device (other than xperia) has some problems with some roms. I heard Energy is the best you can get.
hey thanks for your response. ill try installing this energy rom and hope it can fix it
ur flexible cable wasted..go get it replaced at service centre.
Ho I'm sorry, I thought you said none other rom had this problem, misread...
Will this be a free repair from Sony or about how much should I be looking to spend $
if your under warranty then of course its free!
also make sure you flash a stock rom, then flash the stock-SPL back, otherwise they won't fix it.
in indonesia about US$50-$75
ok sounds good. i think i flashed it back to stock and stock spl is there a way to make sure?
go into the tri colour bootloader screen
and it shouldnt say OliNex anymore
and it should say 0.72.0000
and obviously the stock rom is easy enough to recognise
