Kyocera Torque Sprint Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 31, 2013

Kyocera torque.. the backlight.(screen light) turns off every 20 seconds no matter what is going on with the phone. even if you are actively typing on the screen. there are no settings on the phone that I can find for this nor can I find anything in the manual. the "sleep" settings dont change it. Sprint does not know why either.. they just want to restore it.. yeah, dump the phone.. AGAIN... there has to be a better way?? It takes hours of time and a trip to the side of a highway next to a tower to download apps.. help?

If you have a screen protector on it, TAKE IT OFF. The phone cannot sense that you are using it .

Not sure, but the 1x active may have to do with some time of alert that you may have accidentally set in your calendar or alarm clock. Check your calendar and alarm for active alerts.

Kyocera K10 Chronic Problem. It Shuts Off Unintentionally, Automatically.

There is an inherent problem in the K10 cell phone and VirginMobile knows it. They will automatically shut off several times a day at random intervals.

They will send a 'refurbished' replacement free of charge. Most of these are phones customers sent back for the same problem. They give it a quick test and then send it along as a replacement to the next customer.

After the third ( that's right, count 'em, THREE) replacement phones, they finally sent me an Kyocera Oyster phone as a replacement.

I had my original phone 2 years before the problem began. I read somewhere that it is a virus afflicting the K10. Virgin Mobile will not officially acknowledge th problem but their some of thier customer service reps will. Have this problem? Contact VM.

How to get my kyocera torque to turn on

Unfortunately the phone is fried. I had this happen to me also. Took it in to a Sprint store and they ordered me a new one at no charge. Kyocera is still working out the bugs on this phone.

My Kyocera torque will not start

  • Try turning it on while having it plugged in.
  • If it still shuts off then a factory reset is probably your only fix, however you may have a bad EEPROM and in that case you would probably want to consider replacing the phone.

Tmy monitor shows the images only for 20 seconds, then it turns black.

Hi hope your monitor issue has resolved. I would suspect the problem is a hardware issue then a software setting. Since the monitor is over three and half years old, if your monitor is a LCD with CCFL back light and had been used almost every day, there may be 3 possible hardware issues. First is the internal power supply, that can go wrong due to heating problem within the monitor, this problem usually cause the monitor to display poor quality picture and may show interference lines on screen prior failure. Secondly, it may be the inverter that drives the back light, which may fail due to the safety circuit kicks in, because it involves with high voltages. Thirdly it may be the backlight itself, which is like most compact CCFL energy saving lamps that flickers or turn itself off when it reaches the end of its service life. This problem usually caused the monitor to show redness or yellowness images prior failure.

All of these can be resolved by qualified electronic repairers, all the best.

My samsung 940b it has a clear bright screen ( as normal ) just for 2 seconds then the screen turns dark but you can see very very dim Window logo.Turn off the power ( does not matter for how long ) when...

Capacitors can be faulty even if they look OK. The problem is with the backlight inverter circuit. The actual backlight tubes are probably OK since the display lights for 2 seconds. Try changing any capacitors on the backlight inverter board even if they look fine, especially if they are low value ones e.g. 10uf. If this does not work then you will need to replace the inverter board. You can buy a universal inverter board from on-line sources such as ebay. You will need to determine the correct connections for the cables. The three connections you need are positive supply - usually 12V, negative - 0V, On/Off signal - usually 5V.

Display problem on Motorola V170 cell phone

The display should still be there, but the backlight is off. What you need to do is get the display under a bright desk lamp and find the setting to turn the back light back on.

Open the phone, hit the center button between the arrows, find "Settings" with the arrows, press the top left button (thats select, as the hard to see screen says).

Now navigate with the arrows through settings to "Other settings", (hit top left button again), "Initial setup" (button again), "backlight" (again), and choose 20 seconds. Right now it is on "off", which makes it so hard to see.

Hope that helps.
