Display doesn't dim {SOLVED}

Something went wrong with my Vox. It doesn't longer completely dim the display after a given timeout. What could be the problem?

Thanks for the hint but I couldn't figure out which keys to edit or create. Could you please show me an overview of your keys in "HKEY_Current_User > ControlPanel > Power"?
Thank you in advance.

I found the full version of the tutorial and it worked: http://titourhea.free.fr/site/faq.php?lng=fr&pg=312
Thanks to all

What do they mean with:
"HKEY_Current_User, ControlPanel, Power, faire : Values, Display (cliquer dessus), Value Data par défaut = 60"
Do they mean setting value "Default" in HKCU/ControlPanel/Power ?
(in my case it is unset)
Or do they mean setting value "Display" in HKCU/ControlPanel/Power ?
(in my case "Display" does not exist)

Depending on which registry editor you use, it'll have different means of editing the values for that key's default value.
So if it were arranged as a tree, it would look like this:
Code:
HKCU
\\
ControlPanel
\\
Power <== *** under here, you'd edit its (Default) (or hit Values softkey in PHM) ***
\\
LockLevel <== this is a sub-key of the Power key, which has it's own values
\\
Display <== if this existed, it would be here, as another sub-key of Power

I have still not under stood. I am using resco registry editor but : what to change in what I have somethin " Locklevel" under Power.. nothin else. what to change in this. I am using HTC VOX

I do not understand either:
so you do have to create a value under "Power" that is called "Display" (if - as with my Vox - it is not there) and under that you can enter 60,30 or whatever?
TIA

Here's how I did it using Resco's Registry Editor.
Navigate to HKCU>ControlPanel>Power
There you will find:
Code:
..
LockLevel
(Default)
Display
Click on "Display". Now you will see "DWORD Data". Enter "30" there (stands for seconds).
PS. You DO NOT need to create any new keys, string values or whatever.

In my case after some readings from various forums i've found out my problem was caused by installing the tcpmp player. It created the "display" value in the first place. So the best way is to simply delete the "display" value.
After that on the tcpmp player options > settings > advanced - select the options for " no backlight keepalive for video" and home screen timeout for music".
This solution has worked for me. I just have to manually change the display timeout settings to "never" before playing anything on the player.

***if you have any tips or tricks not in reg edits but just normal tips please post here***
i have tested all my reg edits and they do you work!!!!! like a charm

Thanks bereda , Very Good One. I Saw the difference in performance

no problem if you no anymore just list them my favorite one is the annoying sound one for spb it clicks really loud when you strike a key and i mean its loud!! it made my head pound like a drum haha and the performance one if you pair it with the graphics speed up it makes a big difference

ROM
Hi,
Does it matter if I have changed from the original ROM ?

@bereda
What´s the source this tweaks come from?
Tip: Backup the registry before changing it!

i was googleing and found the site i think its ppc tweaks but the stated that these will only work in wm5 but i gave them a shot on my elfin and it worked even with the custom rom but i guess you can do them on a stock rom you just need a registry editor

Easier way..
Easier way for who do not know / want to touch the register in the first person..
the cabs only made the first two reg hacks..
(i do not made the third reg hock because I not have the spb, so I could not test it..
Thanks a lot bereda!

Or use Schap's Advance Config -> tab Performance to change the values comfortably

There are so many registry editors, the most used is PHM Registry Editor
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/

My Mobile isn't able to install that program, really dont know why :s
Maybe you have another one?

NP - i found another program.
It loads the registry from the mobile, but it
runs at the computer, sounds great actually!

Tutorial: Overclocking and Make It Stick

I Made this tut because I was thoroughly confused when I found omapclock and TornadoPowerControl. This guide is primarily directed towards HTC StrTrk and pretty much makes it so that you can delete the start menu shortcuts and not have to worry about your overclocking ever again. I take no credit for any of these useful tools and no responsibility if your dumb ass tries to over overclock your phone.
EDIT I found out a way to make TPC not show up in your task manager. If you DONT want this then you should skip step 8.
1) Download Tornadopowercontrol14.cab and tcmdphone.cab and load.zip to Windows directory.
2) Install all on your phone
3) Using Total Commander browse to install dir of tornado power control
4) Create a shortcut and place it in the startup directory in Windows
5) Using the Total Commander browse the the startup folder and EDIT the shortcut
6) The shortcut should look something like
60#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe"​
7) There are several commands that you can tell the program to run on startup
'dim' starts in dim mode (display is dim)
'bright' starts in bright mode (normal operation)
'hide' hides the app at startup
'toggle' changes from previous mode ie if in bright mode before boot now in dim mode​
This is what mine looks like:
60#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe" bright hide​
8) If you DON'T want TPC to appear in the task manager then edit your startup shortcut and add italicized characters before your existing characters. Please note, this will render your start menu shortcuts inoperable and you wont be able to get to the TPC GUI. You can even delete the start menu shortcuts (I did).
41#"\Windows\load.exe" -hide "Program Files\Tornado PowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe" bright hide​9) Now goto your install directory and youll see 3 shortcuts named
Power_On.lnk - controls what happens when your backlight is turned on
Power_BacklightOff.lnk - when backlight turns to dim
Power_UserIdle.lnk - when phone goes into idle (screen off)​10) Those 3 files are EMPTY and TPC will not do anything with them if they remain the same.
11) omapclock.exe is included with TPC install and is in the same directory omapclock will respond to command line prompts just like TPC did earlier with Step 7.
12) Delete Power_On.ink. Create a shortcut to omapclock.exe and rename it to Power_On.ink. Edit the shortcut. add '-clock XXX' where XXX is desired speed (I have read other forums where people got stable results at 252 but I elected to stay with 240 for piece of mind)
Heres Mine:
30#"\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe" -clock 240​13) Reboot and run omapclock from startmenu to make sure that speed is 240, close phone and let screen turn off and repeat
14) Enjoy
Note 1- If you want TPC to lower the speed of the processor when the backlight dims then do the same method as step 12 except replace Power_BacklightOff.ink. I dont know why you would want to slow down the phone even further but I guess you could in theory edit Power_UserIdle.ink and underclock your phone to save battery life maybe.
Note 2- Im using this on erofich's WM6 on Cingular 3125 and tested/benchmarked differences using TCPMP with a Youtube video saved in .flv and noticed significant improvement.

Wow, great post! This worked perfectly on my 3125. Thanks for putting this together!
I saved the 3 edited shortcuts and zipped them up, if anyone would like them for quicker install, e.g. after a new flash, or even if this is your first time.
Once you have installed the TornadoPowerControl cab, copy TornadoPowerControl.lnk to \Windows\StartUp (this replaces steps 3-7 above), and copy Power_On.lnk and Power_BacklightOff.lnk to \Program Files\TornadoPowerControl (overwriting the blank files) (this replaces steps 9-12 above). I have overclocking set to 240 and backlight off clock set to 180 - these can easily be edited to whatever values you want, but you won't have to do the extensive t9 typing required for the full creation of these shortcuts. Will save some time if you flash frequently and/or set up multiple phones.

Has anybody used this on a Q9H?
Thanks in advance

After installing as per instructions, all I get is an error message.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

how do you add italicized text to the beginning of the shortcut file? Changing the font within total commander makes the whole file italicized.

Thank you for great job
Btw, this is the latest version
2.0 Beta 4 - Fixed a bug causing the state of the CPU Speed Indicator not to be saved at exit. Fixed a bug that would cause the application to not fully exit under rare circumstances. Changed form behavior to only show one form at a time - The main form is hidden when another form is active.

[REQ] unlock values in “Power settings” applet

hello everyone! I wander how to unlock values in “Power settings” applet. For example I would like to have 20 sec. of backlight and suspend device after 30 sec. Now I can choose only between 10 – 30 sec. of backlight and 1+ min. of suspend.

You can do it in the registry. Check these settings:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"BatteryTimeout"=dword:00000014
That's your 20 seconds to dim (14 in hex; 20 in decimal). Here's the timeout settings:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts]
"BattSuspendTimeoutSave"=dword:0000001e
"BattSuspendTimeout"=dword:0000001e

Tanks allot, it’s really works! But if somebody know how to edit the entire Power applet to have a choice in part of selection between 10 sec to 1 min with 10 sec step in both Screen off and Device off?

I think that's gonna be a lot harder. You could probably get the settings into Advanced Configuration-I've never made custom tweaks for it, but I know that it can be done. You could definitely do it for the SK Tools Tune Up! panel. That would be easy, if you have sk tools. You could also convert the reg keys to cab files pretty easily (without uninstall would be better), and just put them somewhere convenient.
So, what happens when you open up the applet? Does it switch to a default setting, or are the boxes just unchecked? I didn't actually test it out.

Yeah, I have SK tools, but I have never come across with such possibilities in it. Were is it?

If you check the help section in Tune Up! it describes how to input the tweaks. It's pretty easy (you need a newer version, though). I've got a thread on doing it here. You can download some of my tweak files and just modify them. Also, you should have user.ctwsk and default.ctwsk files in your sk tools program folder. I've got one for notification snooze time that will be similar to what you want. DWord files are easy (haven't figure out the string values yet)-make sure you use decimal values and not hex values.

wow, that's grate, thanks allot!

If you put together a working tweak file, you oughta post it up. I'll re-post in the other thread.

I’ve made file with following text, but it changes value only in first parameter “BattSuspendTimeoutSave”, but not in the second “BattSuspendTimeout”. How to make multi parameters change?
#tweak(Adjust Battery Pwer off)
#description(Turn off device after XX seconds)
#key(HKLM)
#path(System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts)
#name(BattSuspendTimeoutSave)
#type(DWORD)
#value(20)
#value(30)
#value(40)
#value(50)
#value(60)
#key(HKLM)
#path(System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts)
#name(BattSuspendTimeout)
#type(DWORD)
#value(20)
#value(30)
#value(40)
#value(50)
#value(60)
#text(20)
#text(30)
#text(40)
#text(50)
#default(60)
#tab(system)

I'm not sure you can do multiples at once. I think you just need to create 3 separate entries, and change the two at the same time.

Ok, I’ll make some, but what’s the difference between "BattSuspendTimeoutSave" and "BattSuspendTimeout" parameters then? how to dicribe them at menu?

Yeah, I don't know what the deal is with that-try playing around with them (maybe set them at different times). See if you can figure it out. You may only need one. You can add in the description that the two need to be set at the same level, if that turns out to be the case.

Any way to increase font size in IE?

My aging eyes have a hard time focusing on the text in IE even when I double tap to zoom in. Is there a system setting or is there a third-party app that will allow me to make text bigger?

I found some interesting things in the phones registry
I went here and found this interesting value in Registry Editor:
My Device > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > ControlPanel > Accessibility > FontSize
and the FontSize is set to Value = 1, Dword
But I haven't tried changing anything and I DO NOT RECOMMENT you to change anything until some people who wants to try it has tried to check so the phone doesnt brick/break.

I appreciate the answer I don't mind risking my Focus since I am upgrading. I'll give it a shot.

First off, please report the results of your experimentation! This could be a handy tweak.
Second, there's an entire accessibility Settings menu. It's hidden by default (for no reason I can figure) on some phones. Hiding it is a registry setting, and some apps (like Advanced Config on http://touchxperience.com) will switch it for you. Something in there may help.
Third, double-tap just sooms in on the element that you tapped. If that element is pretty big already, it won't zoom very far. You can, at any time in IE, use two fingers ina pinching motion to fine-control the zoom level, or zoom in wherever you want to. This also works in the email reader view.

Any news about the sms and phone numbers in the contact list?
