Backlight turn of after 10 sec

Hello,
My phone turns of the display after 10 sec.
It reacts on a keypress but it is very anoying.
Are there more people with this problem?
I think it comes from a program called Automatic Keylock but it won't go away when i Uninstal this program.
I think it must be in the register somewhere but it's not in the controlpanel/power.
Any suggestions?
MAybe a dll?

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPannel/Power/ then LeftClic to Values, If you have Display clic in it to see and modify the value, if not:
RightClic, New Value/DWORD/ name it Display; put 60 in the Value Data, Baseecimal .
Cheers.

Wow This Works!!!
Thanks This Was Driving Me Crazy.
This Is So Nice , Great!!!
You Are A Hero

you dont need to edit registry!!!!
it is in start->settings->power management
you can control how long it takes for the backlight to go off and the display to switch off seperately for on battery and on ac

If you have started to use CorePlayer/TCPMP and/or TomTom, then you NEED to edit the registry, as the value in the "delay before backlight will turn off" is modified to a billion number instead of 60 seconds.
Off course it's in the settings , power management....

But that wasn't aage's problem!!!
I use tomtom but I have created a script using mortscript that runs tomtom then deletes that pesky reg key. That way the power management still works

Not true for me. I use TT6.0.0 and CP and I don't have to make any reg change whatsoever.

How did you get tt6 loaded and running. and are you having the reported problems not being able to navigate the menus/selection lists with the dpad.
The problem kevin reports is with ttn5 mobile (which sadly is the only wm smartphone version that tomtom support - "support" that is a strange word when used in the same sentence as tomtom!!!)

Yeah I was referring to this one, since you're not supposed to use TT6 (intented to be used with PPC) , but here everyone use custom app/rom
BTW, I never used TT, just CorePlayer, and though it worked fine for some days, one day it refused to turn off backlight, so I created this registry dword and voilà !

Screen Off = WiFi Off: How to Fix?

My WiFi shuts off every time my screen blanks out. I can see this being good if I were on battery, but personally only use WiFi when plugged into A/C. Is there a registry edit that'll change this 'feature' and leave WiFi running?! Thanks!

Yeah, that fix would be nice!
I noticed that Skype by-passes idle-mode in it's software and that's one way to fix it. To bad that not all apps do that...

If you use it only when charging, you can configure your cruise to stay on when the device is charging.
Mi cruise is in Spanish, so i will translate the options as i think it must be in english.
Go to START, CONFIGURATION, SISTEM, ENERGIE, ADVANCED
And there you can configure the options to turn off the device when is on battery and when it is charging.
Hope it will be usefull.

That was an answer to a different question, perhaps someone will find your tip useful. Thanks though.
The question is how to stop WiFi from shutting off when the screen blacks out, whether or not it's plugged into AC.

Hi, Benjimen, did you check Schap's Advanced Config 3.2.0.0, there are some settings for Wifi. I haven't tweaked/tested any of them since I don't use much of Wifi. Hope it may help you.

Thanks -- I've read about that, but haven't tried it. Was really hoping someone knew the registry tweak to accomplish it, looks like I'm out of luck though
It sounds like you're 'guessing' it might be a feature? Does anyone who has tried the program actually know and care to post factual info? I took a look at the info for the software, and it does't appear to be one of the tweaks, at least not in the example screens.

I have the Schap's Advanced Config 3.1.0.0 installed and i cant find enything about that, only to shutdown the wifi if there is no activity....
I alsa didnt know that there was a 3.2.0.0 version, will try to check that out later.
Chears.
PS: sorry benjimen if my previous post didnt help...

i have downloaded the 3.2.0.0 and i also could not find anything there that could solve your problem.
Chears.

the problem is when one click the power button one dont
turn off the screen
one suspend the device power most systems down
you can get programs which just turn off the screen
which would leave the wifi on
but the device run out of batt pretty fast if it's
not suspented

In Polaris.Aserg.WM61.WWE ROM WMP plays when the screen is switched off, Probably you can check with him for your requirement.

...yes, you can get lots of programs to do lots of things -- would be relevant of you to provide an example, which programs are you referring to? Again, not interested in what WiFi does to the battery, but thanks for that reminder

benjimen, as was given as a tip changing the time-out is a working temporary solution.
I did something similar with a software that allowed me to make "user profiles". The "work" profile had a longer time-out just to keep my wi-fi active

How frustrating I saw this topic and thought it would help me do what the OP is trying to do, but it's just a bunch of non-answers Don't people read the original question before answering?

benjimen, sorry if I am bothering you - did you check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329139 and the links mentioned there.

or find more programs like it using google to search

Thanks for trying Rudegar, but who really wants to install another layer of junk just to accomplish what should be an option.
Thank you 02xda2, I found a tweak in the thread you linked to, the registry entries did the trick! Here they are for anyone who might be interested:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
If you need to change it back, the default entry for all of them (at least on my Cruise) was set to 4

Enable schaps advanced config 3.2 -> menu -> more settings -> connections and check "enable wifi on standby mode"
cheers

Thanks, but I got it with just the registry entry. I've always had bad luck with the do-it-all tweaker programs, at some point set something I shouldn't and mess something up.
I was looking for a way to do it via a registry edit, and found it thanks to another poster here -- if anyone is looking to do the same it's a couple posts back, or click here.

Backlight reverting to 10 seconds

I am posting this because 1) I don't think this issue is specific to one cooked ROM, and 2) despite searching, I can't find a solution.
The issue is that with all of the ROMs I tried that are based on recent AT&T or HTC 6.1 ROMs, the backlight reverts back to 10 seconds. I can change it through Backlight settings to something else, and go back to the control panel a minute later and see it's back to 10 seconds. Very annoying.
I've seen this with a couple of L26 ROMs, the stock AT&T 6.1 ROM, and the HyperDragon III Pro ROM which I am currently using. I see this whether I have S2U2 or not (I am on 1.22b now). My current set-up: HardSPL 3.56, HyperDragon III Pro Sept-17, S2U2 1.22b... but like I said, I don't think it's ROM-specific.
Calling all experts: is there a fix for this? (If you are planning on posting something like "I don't have this problem" or "Change your backlight setting through the control panel", please don't clutter the thread with your post).
Thanks!

I spent a fair bit of time searching this and testing various suggestions that seemed to work for other people, however I was constantly getting the 10-second reversion, plus the even more annoying dimming backlight when locked.
Anyway I posted this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425361
And now after removing the registry 'BatteryTimeout' my backlight is working exactly as I want it - i.e. backlight dims afer 30-seconds regardless of whether it is locked or not, plus when locked the backlight comes on when the screen is tapped.
Now wait for the various replies saying 'use the search'.....
Andy

FWIW, I too had this annoying issue, but found that using ROMeOS roms (last version is 4.6) I don't get this issue. Not sure why or what the chef did to fix it.
The chef has now moved onto the Raphael...so he is not working on his Kaiser roms anymore

Thanks, let's see if it sticks. I've tried quite a few methods I found during my search and those didn't work....

It happened to me also with akadonny's 3.29.DK.10 / SPL 3.56.Hard
I changed SPL in the meantime for a different reason, and I had no backlight issues afterwards, but still I would not link that strictly to SPL cause I changed many other things.
Anyway, I found a power setup that works for me very well:
- for "on battery power" I only use turn off device (uncheck turn off backlight)
- for "on external power" I only use turn off backlight (uncheck turn off device)
P.S. This never happened to me with earlier builds, only with 20748.1.4.0.

Well, the first approach didn't work. I have a setup similar to the previous post, but that hasn't helped. I am on SPL 3.56 Hard. Which SPL did you go back to?

Second approach didn't work either. I see a lot of posts with people reporting the same problem... Has there been a definitive solution?

Im using HyperDragon_III_Omnia_20080818. With this ROM I dont have the issue of the 10 sec backlight. I use Hard SPL 3.29.
Chau Juan

I also have this problem and it is making me sick, at night while in bed I am trying to read an ebook but I have to tap on screen every 10 seconds!!
I am HyperDragon_III_Omnia ROM and I have tried many tweaks no luck.
Edit...
Ok I think the problem is now sorted.
Here's what I did... changed the following registry - HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\ACTimeout set the DWORD to 0 and reset the device.
So far it seems to be fine.

Hmmm, I'll try this, thanks. This should be for backlight while connected... but worth a shot. I wonder if HardSPL version makes a difference... I'm on 3.56.

Problems with S2U2 on Wizard

Hi All,
I have a wizrad (USA Tmo) with original rom. I have the current version of s2u2 installed on my device and have the following problems. I have searched the forum unsuccessfully. And have tried my best to resolve the issues. I am hoping that I am just missing something painfully obvious. Thanks for the help
1) I have it registered to lock on wake up. But it only works sporadically. I have no idea when it will lock. Most times it won't. I have checked the exemption list and don't have any offending programs registered.
2) I set the clock path in the registry. But every time I restart iLock it erases my set Value data. So I can never get the clock to appear.
Thanks again. Perhaps these are known issues that I have somehow over looked. My eyes have been pretty weary lately- working in front of computer a lot lately. So I apologize if i did miss something.

Ok, 1st this should probably be in the Wizard forum..............but, try setting it to lock when the backlight shuts off, this is how I had mine set up, and it worked fine.
As for the clock, if it is not showing up at all, make sure that you have it set to ClockA (I think) and see if that works.

i think this should be in the S2U2 forum, that way the creator can try and diagnose the issues.

This is "No.8 bug" of Cotulla's ROM.
When you close BTH and suspend device for a while,after that if you want to turn on BTH,you will get this bug,or sounds become noise.
Use SRS HD to fix sound noise,and soft reset if you got no sounds.

xiaojin, could you please add a switch for wi-fi to this program? Currently SDIO adapters still work, so it would make using them a lot easier than going to "settings-network adapters" all the time
