Hi guys,


Just trying to solve a problem with my P1i. Basically when I plug it in to the power at night and sit it down on my bedside table the backlight stays on fully. Any way I can turn this off? Or have it go off as normal after a couple of mins?

cheers in advance!

Have you altered the settings for the backlight in the control panel? (press the battery icon, then 'settings') mine are set to:

Handheld: Auto
Car Holder: On
Power Save Enabled: 2mins - is checked

If this is the case with yours, then I'd try changing them, saving, then changing back and re-saving, to make sure the settings are written properly to the internal drive.

If this doesn't solve it, then I'd try a master reset, format internal drive, and finally reflash the phone via SEUS, testing the phone after each stage, as it would suggest some kind of file coruption either in the settings or the OS itself.

This has happened to me as well a few times, it must be a bug. Restarting the phone fixes it for me.

My P1i has the correct backlight settings yet I always get an illuminated white screen & illuminated keypad when charging with the phone switched off. No matter what I do with the brightness settings this problem remains & has been like it since new.

@sunking why not have the phone switched on & in flight mode to charge? It uses virtually no power when on total standby.

@treflenoir It sounds to me like the screen's connector to the mainboard isn't seated properly, I'd take it apart again to make sure or take it to a service centre.

Can you confirm it should do this though? Why the bright white screen and illuminated keypad?? Isn't the phone in flight mode anyway when switched off? I ask because as soon as the charger is connected the phone switches itself on in a manner of speaking and loads this white illuminated screen!

I guess it's because the hardware that manages the battery is governed by software, and so it needs to partially start up in order to charge the battery. As far as I recal it was the same on the p990. I think it's just one of those UIQ things that you have to learn to live with, but at least you know it's not a fault with your particular unit. My point about leaving the phone switched on was so that the screen would go out and not disturb you.

Hey that's wierd isn't it? - just tried it with mine. Turned it off, put it on the stand to charge and it booted up to the white screen showing just the charging icon in the top right corner and the keys were lit - then it went into dim mode with everything still lit and that's it...

When I charge it normally it is turned on but the screen and key lights are off...

Very strange
