hi got Tornado imate sp5m i ve flashed the rom with WM6 Perfect English after flashing i seems corrupted it gets freeze if i dont use it for several hours and when use it the screen goes off every 5 seconds with an annoying chime and tried Vanila aswel but getting the same problem.
Note: After Clear Storage it works fine again for sometime. i have T9English and Sp5m Buttons Installed nothing else
Any Solution
i ve format my phone installed GSM update and then WM6 and followed step by step.
Same problem here with Vanilla Edition.
Screen goes off after 7secs no matter what time-outs are set under power management. If I cange values in power management, it works fine again, but after some time it starts cutting off screen after 7secs, that is very annoying.
yes it doesnt care about time management it got its own time well much annoying thing is it hangs sometimes and i found no call is recieved when it seems hang
did u Clear the storage ? the problem seems solve but for a while
Set these registry settings and you'll be fine:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power]
"Display"=dword:0000003C
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power\LockLevel]
"LockLevel"=dword:00000000
The display will go off after 60".

screen goes off after 7 seconds only after the keypad is locked (that's the best i can do to prevent screen from lighting when the joystick is accidentally toggled inside your pocket for example). but if it is not locked, (in my experience) it corresponds to the timeout set under power management. but still i will check on that.
This display timeout behavior is normal for WM5/6.
In [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power] there is usually only one key when the keypad is unlocked. The "Display" key stores your normal timeout setting in seconds. When you lock the keypad, the "Display" key is set to 7 seconds and your normal timeout setting is set to a new key called "TimeoutSaved". When you unlock the keypad, the "TimeoutSaved" is deleted and the "Display" key is set to your normal timeout setting. So far so good...
But, there's also another key in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power\LockLevel] called "LockLevel". It seems that it controls the normal Display/TimeoutSaved behavior. It's normal value is "0". But some times it is changed (I think AutoKeyLock and LowLevel have something to do with it) and set to "3" or "4". All you need is reset it to "0".
That value keeps restoring back and 5-sec time-out problem remains. There is no workaround here...
Just to point out, Nitro's registry settings appear to be in hex, whereas most ROMs I've used show it to me in normal numbers (is that binary? because I thought binary was only 0 or 1).
Either way, 0 is 0. I wonder if it's possible that this key should be in hex and the keylock programmer used the wrong way to enter info, or maybe vice versa but still wrong data?

It's actually 7 seconds and you have to power off your phone, wait a minute (or two) and start it up again.
This is a really common problem/question. If you had used the search you wouldn't have had to post and wait.
Look at this. This is solution for your problem
Possible cause
I think I may have found what is causing this issue. I noticed that if I let the keylock program run, it changes the backlight, etc to timeout and go black in about 5 seconds. I have to go into config and change it to a higher number, then back down to what I want it to be.
It got to the point that just had to disable that keylock program, otherwise, I have to constantly reset the power management settings.
When I don't have the keylock program running, the timeouts all work as advertised. Strange, eh?
Quakie
I had this, I found a solution, delete the LockLevel key with a registry editor, reboot and the problem has never occurred again
I have the following little problem with WM6. Every time i press the "power button" on my device, WM6 returns to the today screen. What i really want is, that it stays in the last application which was open before i switched the device off.
This behavior is especially annoying when i use tools like "ScreenOff" which does nothing else but turns the screen off (the programs are running further). This is useful when it comes to mp3 listening or something like that. But when i press the power button to turn the screen on again there is no mp3 playing application but the today screen.
Can anyone tell me where to change that behavior?
whats the today timeout set to in settings->today->items ?
It is activated and set to 8hr.
You need to disable the password lock in Security settings. This will mean that a password will NOT be required to unlock the phone upon restart or after the pre-determined timeout.
With the password lock disabled, every time you power up your phone, it will be at the last application you had open.
I already have the password lock disabled. So that can not be the problem.
If you are using the today screen battery meter there is an option for it to do that. Annoyed the hell out of me till I disabled it.
Thank you, thank you!!!
You made my day
Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange problem with my Tornado (i-mate SP5, WM6 Platinum Edition). Today it stopped working suddenly, I had to remove the battery. When rebooting, the i-mate sceen appears, then the HTC logo, then Nitrogenius' splashscreen, then a beep sounds, and afterwards the screen is black and nothing happens, no keys are responding. I can "switch off" the phone by long pressing of the power key. Reset with pressing the 2 soft keys and the starting key does not work, the phone starts until the splashscreen and afterwards the screen goes black. Strangely I can connect the phone with activesync, synchronize contacts and calendar and even explore the device with activesync's filemanager; and the battery is charging, too.
Any suggestions except reflashing?
Regards

Thanks for the hint, I tried, but unfortunately I seem to miss something. Could you elaborate a bit how you managed to switch on backlight.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: It worked! You made my day!
After pressing the keys you mentioned (and some others, too) and after rebooting again the backlight is on again. Thanks a lot!
I met the same problem in many cases and I found the culprit, it is tornadolowlight or tornadopowercontrol. while these appli are activating if I soft reset or by force restart (removing battery) then next startup will get a blank screen. But actually in this case the device is on and working only thing is its backlight is off. So, by using a torch light or simply using MyMobiler from a pc you can see the screen, and start that culprit appli then done
OR another thing I have done is I put shortkey for MultiFlashLight and whenever such situation happened I just press the shortkey and activated it and done
Apologies if this has been answered before, I've done plenty of searches, and can't find out how to do it.
On my stock HTC Touch Pro, if I don't touch the screen or keyboard for about 5 seconds, then the screen goes to a dimmed state. Is there a way to turn this behaviour off?
Cheers,
Steve.
Settings - System - Power - Advanced tab. All of the options are there...
There are no relevant settings there. There's only the "Turn off backlight if device is not used for x min" and "Turn off device if not used for x min" for both battery power, and external power.
I'm not talking about the screen going off all together, I'm just talking about it dropping to minimum brightness after a few seconds of inactivity. I've tried the "Auto adjust backlight" and "Dim the backlight if the device is locked" settings, and they make no difference.
Cheers,
Steve.

Steve,
You should be adjusting the "Turn off backlight if device is not used for..." setting under 'on battery power'. This setting relates to the dimming of the screen (backlight). It's most likely that this is set to 10 seconds or something short on your device. Increase this to the longer duration that you would like.
FYI, the "Turn off device..." setting relates to turning off the screen completely.
Hope that solves your problem.

Thanks for the responses. I was being a little confused by the fact that a) it's not turning off the backlight, it's just dimming it, b) it was doing it while sat in its cradle, and those settings were unchecked, and c) it was doing it after 5 seconds, and not the 1 minute it was set to.
Fiddling with those settings seems to have resulted in the behaviour I'm after.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Steve.
I have exactly the same issue, as does my g/f's Diamond. The screen dims after 7 seconds of inactivity. I know this because I've timed it. I have all of the advanced settings turned off so the device should not ever turn off the backlight or power off. I'd really like to be able to stop this as it makes reading or watching video on the device extremely annoying.
Steve, what settings did you change?
Thanks.
I *think* what sorted it out was changing the settings to new values, then selecting [OK], and then going back into the Advanced tab, and setting them to what I wanted in the first place - it was almost as if the changing the settings didn't stick until I had changed them to something else, and gone out of the page.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Steve.
Having the settings not "stick" is a problem I had with my Apache/XV6700 under WM5. There was a fix out there for this problem that I could never get to work, either. It finally got fixed with a custom ROM and stayed fixed under a WM6 custom ROM.
But now I'm pretty dismayed to see the problem back with the stock Fuze ROM and a slew of tweaks/installs -- just when I got the phone how I wanted it. Anybody have any new ideas on getting the change to stick? A registry edit or something?
i am having the sameissue as leeJS, i had none of the boxes set to dim or turn off, it would dim after 7 seconds. i tried multiple settings even checking all the boxes with over 2 minutes, the screen will still dim. any solutions?
On another fourm I came across a fix that works for me - I had similar frustrating problems
In HKCU\Control Panel\Backlight rename the folder Locklevel to Locklevelx (or something).
System recreates the locklevel folder with the correct locklevel key inside it (and doesn't keep changing it back)
S2U2 has a setting that dims the screen after 7 seconds... Do you have that loaded as well? If so, check you s2u2 settings...
Ok so I have a little problem with my HTC Diamond. In options I set to turn-off the backlight after 10s of inactivity which is standard. The problem is that after those 10s I can see that the screen backlight is fading out but it doesn't fade out completly - if you look from an angle it might appear that it's off but if you look at the front of the phone or simply in the dark you can see that the backlight is still on only set to something near 10 or 5%. As you know the battery just sucks in this device and I don't want the backlight to drain it so any ideas or tips on this matter? Of course I can put the phone to sleep mode but I'd just prefer to make the backlight turning off so I can take a look at the screen to for example check the time without having to press any buttons...
Same problem here
After those 10s the screen is not turning off completly, just fading to 5, 10 %. The screen with all the info, the home page let us say, is still visible and drains the battery. I also could just press the power button to turn is completly off, but I would also prefer it to do this manually after ten second.
Did you find a solution to this problem yet?
Help Battery Drain
Same thing here, and my Backlight is stuck to 100% i think,
anyone found a solution to this? any hints?
Guys, i assume youve set the "turn off device if not used for xxx mins" correctly whilst in battery and external power correctly?
If you have, what roms are you using as you give us no information to help any further
Hello,
I had the same problem with ROM 2.03.421.2, date 12/24/08.Back then I had SPB mobile shell installed and a very few applications and I couldn't find the problem. I made a hard reset so now, with nothing installed, the device also enters standby. You should take care because it is possible that the device is not entering standby either and it is making calls. When I had this problem my friends were complaining that I kept calling them and not talking. It is strange as I'm sure I put the device to sleep with the power button. But still, somehow, it was making calls...
