How to reduce brightness/turn off backligh?

Greetings
I want to save some energy on my Vox, and I'm wondering, is it possible to change (reduce) brightness of backlight on Vox, by using specific program or other trick? Original backlight is really too strong for me!
I've searched for information about it, but I've found nothing...
And if that is not possible, I want to totally turn off backlight. Without it screen is bright enought, I can clearly see everyting on it. Only in good sunny weather could be some problems with it, but I can always turn it on again. So is there any program or other trick to disable backlight?
I founded program called OldSap's OS Power, which should do this. But download page is offline! So maybe someone has got that program and want to share it?
Any solution?
Thanks to all

To decrease brightness you can use Light Toogle from this topic. It works fine with my C600 and should with Vox.
For enegry saving you can also reduce CPU clock (manual with OmapClock or automatically with Tornado PowerControl).

Unfortunately this program doesn't work on my device (it shows only white screen with some chinese "软件大" and do nothing...). Backlight works normal with this program background running...
Other solutions? Maybe this OldSap's OS Power?
It's seems to be easy thing to shut down the backlight, isn't it?

Vox has only two backlight states (excluding no backlight) - full and dimmed. You can use Tornado LowLight or Tornado Power Control to switch between dimmed and full backlight.

torrentonly, thank you very much! This is what I'm looking for!
Program runs perfect, problem solved
Once more time - thanks!

wm 6.5 Camera Problem... :(

I installed coolcamera on my wm 6.5 Tornado, but for some reason the program auto dims regardless of the brightness and contrast settings. Anyone seen this or know how to fix?

i have the problem too

this even happens when u r normally using camera. Its fix is cover ur camera with ur hand (provide it artificial darkness) after 20-30 seconds, lift ur hand off ur phone's camera and its brightness will return. Though I rarely use my phone's camera, I use this trick when I want to take a snap

Automatic phone turn on

Hi to all, is there a way to switch on the HD2 at a desidered time?
I mean: from the phone totally switched off is there some software or mod that makes it auto-turning on?
So battery life could be extended instead of keeping it turned on during the night only for make the alarm clock ring...
On my nokia it was possible make it to turn on automatically and make the alarm ring, I think it's strange that this cannot be done on the HD2...
Thanks for your answers and sorry for my english, I hope you understood anyway
bye

Try CT Scheduler. However, if anyone else here has any idea about other programs that can do this, let me know.
I'm looking for something that does something like this:
1. Turn on phone every 15 minutes
2. Leave it on for 2 minutes (so that calls/text messages can arrive)
3. Turn off the phone
Repeat.

Try G-Alarm
Not to sure if it have the wake up function.

SKSchema is simply the best.
You can schedule what you want on your PDA and it runs great on HD2.

I think this is technicaly not possible because when the phone is off it is not possible to run software.
If you desire it to consume the lowest possible amout of power you may put the phone into flight mode and ensure no background apps are still running.
Some software such as Galarm will turn the phone into flight mode over night and dissable flight mode in the morning with the alarm.

I use phonealarm,
at night I set my phone to automatically switch to flight mode, so that I receive no calls, messages etc, and it uses virtually no battery power, but the alarm still goes off in the morning, and my phone automatically switches back on

[Need help] playing music on SP3 while the screen turn off

I have just received my SP3 i7 a few weeks ago and I'm loving it so far. Not to mention some issues, for example over heating and noisy fan.
However, I would love to listen to music or download some torrent files while the screen turn off in order to save some juice. Unfortunately, I could not do that because SP3 tend to stay in sleep mode when the screen turn off.
I remember that I found some information in this forum about the software that help SP3 stays awake while the screen turn off but I could not find it now...
I also tried to use second screen only to prevent SP3 to go to sleep but SP3 screen just popped up and mentioned that they could not stream to the second screen after a couple minute. Thus, this way is not work for me.
Anyone know how to solve this problem? I would appreciated all the answer I could get.
Cheers,

You have two choice. First is to use metro mode app to play. It can run with connected standby. The other choice is to use Always-on mode.

By metro mode app, I mean Music app (for W8.1) or Groove Music (for W10). It come with Windows so you don't have to download it.

Oh okay, lol thank you for the clarification.

Using Surface in Background.
You can use Surface Pro 3 in Tablet Mode to listen to music while the screen is off.
You can change the time limit got surface to go sleeping in the Battery Menu under Advanced Options to keep downloading torrents in background.
Hope it helps.​

Night mode on doesn’t survive restart.

I’ve turned on developer options and turned night mode to “always on”, but have found every time I turn back to it, it’s switched to “always off”. Seems rebooting the phone flips it to off. Anyone else run into this? Thoughts on a fix? I have display on dark theme and messages on dark theme.
Side note, I also can’t get discover to go to dark theme.
Quite frustrating...
