Im Using S2U2 on my orbit 2, great app however, when the program is activated and the backlight dims as it should until i press a button, the backlight stays dim and i have to use the settings to change it back
Just to elaborate on this issue, my phone does it whenever it goes into hibernate or s2u2 activates, it does this weather s2u2 is running or not, when i reset the backlight level in the settings, the slider is all the way to the right but when i tap it or move it the backlight comes back to the correct level. the symptoms go away with a soft reset until it has been on standby for more than a few minutes or until i recieve a call, when the above happens. i would really appreciate some help on this as its driving me round the bend.

anyone?
You shouldn't address this problem in the Polaris subforum but in the Development and Hacking subforum.
Just reply your problem there on the S2U2 thread and you will get more luck to a helpfull answer.
Well, actually, it sounds like it isn't an S2U2 specific issue, but an issue with his TC.
Sorry, I don't know what could be causing it though.
Thats why i put it here, it started when i installed s2u2 but im not sure, will try uninstalling s2u2 tomorrow.
Uninstalled S2u2, still does it, will hard reset the device

Hi Guys,
There are a couple of things I've not been able to get working in the way I'm used to on my Artemis, just wondered if anyone can help....
1) The require password when device is not used for x minutes, when set to 0 minutes on my Artemis, would only ask me for the password if it was coming out of standby... I'm trying to get the Polaris to behave in the same way. The gotcha with this is that having edited the settings on the Artemis, it doesn't behave like this anymore
What's actually happening is that when set at 0 minutes the device locks right away. I've now set it to 1 hour but now when coming out of standby I don't have to put the password in unless I leave it for an hour... Which is what it sounds like it should do, but not what I want, or what it WAS doing!
2) My backlight doesn't come on until I have fully unlocked the device... So I can't see the keypad or unlock button in daylight. My Artemis doesn't do this, the backlight comes straight on.
Any ideas are welcome
Thanks
LP
Wouldn't mind knowing about a reg tweak for the backlight/lock issue myself...
Screenlock? and backgrond light
I'v managed to get a screenlock function to work really nice. The Polaris is now always locked on start, exept for Answer/Reject soft and hardware buttons, plus that I can shut down the ringing with the volume button. Really nice.
The program that does it is Autolock. You find it att http://www.intelliott.com
The backlight problem was solved via a register hack found on this site.
At
\HKCU\ControlPanle\Backlight\LockLevel
Rename the folder to LockLevelX.
Does work even if the handset is soft resetted.
Thanks peta§,
That reg hack works pretty well
Any chance of a little more detail on the registry tweak. The backlight issue is really starting to annoy me.
Thanks
I followed the instruction in this link. It was quite easy:

peta§,do u know any registry tweak in order to disable key lock permanently?
Cheers Peta,
Worked a treat however, I don't understand why this was not done at the manufacturing stage unless it was purely an oversight.
Thanks
I agree MusicArtist, it should be activated in WM6 from the start. It's very interesting what can happen when you take your phone out of the pocket when a reminder calls for your attention, or a SMS or call is incoming and you by mistake presses some functions on the activated screen.
dene3erw, disabling key lock permanently? I don't follow. Do you mean the Autolock?
If so, ýou can find an icon in the Program folder, just to tap on it. It enables/disables the function.
I searched for about 30 minutes before posting this.. in both diamond and touch pro forums and all over here.. I figure this is a common issue, but still found nothing.
Is there any way to lock the touch screen during a call? I keep doing things with my cheek. I've written notes, assigned pictures to contacts, etc.!!! It's getting old. Anyway to fix that???
Press the standby button.
I intsalled the reg edit No_Sleep_Raph this stops the phone going into standby for voicemail or phone banking.
The phone will blank the screen depending on the power settings I have or standbye button.
If I accpet a call I normally press teh answer button and while putting it to my ear press the standby button
That maybe a solution...
I would think they would've done something like the treo phones..
They've got a setting to lock the screen during a phone call until you press a physical button... Or something like that. Worked great.
How difficult it would be to program something like that?
Have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425650
I haven't tried that yet. From what I read it seems like it will be good for not answering the phone inside your pocket... I didn't see anything about it locking
during a call... But I may have overlooked that, and I would assume it is one of the settings.
Can anyone confirm whether this program will allow you to lock the screen during a call and allow you to unlock it with a physical button?
Sorry, can't help you with that as it doesn't seem to work with the latest ROMeOS rom but IIRC you had to remove the stylus in order to use the touchscreen.
wrong post, sorry.
Ok new annoying problem. Has anyone noticed that when you call your voice mail by the time you are ready to delete the message the damn screen is off and you have to wake it back up with the power button?
Is there a way to keep the screen from turning off? or for it to wake up when you take it away from your ear?
Im guessing the light sensor is turning it off when its next to your ear so your face dosent "push buttons". Thats merely just a guess I really have no clue. I guess it could just be a timer thing.
its an option if you get advanced config in the diamond section you can adjust it

I may be a moron (that's usually the case) but I installed the Advanced Config from touchxperience.com and I do not see this option. Is this the same cab that's in the diamond section?

This is the same problem with Tilt
This was the same problem with the tilt and I'm amazed it is still in the fuze as HTC released a hotfix for the tilt. They must have known it was an issue all along.
Maybe the tilt hotfix would work on the fuze?

I didn't want to try it in case it had a undesired effect and i'm not setup right now to fix any issues...
I installed it the same advance config it shows the option on the list on the website. but its def not on the list on the phone. :-(
watching...
any new ideas?
search for diamond tweak or advance config.....the option is there. just disable sleep and fast sleep.
Can anyone verify that the latest Diamond Tweak will work on the AT&T Fuze default ROM. I know I can always hard reset, but I have my phone setup and working just about the way I want.

i installed romeos i used advanced config and it worked

In Advanced Config > Phone > Phone Sleep During Call
And Advanced Config > Phone > Fast Sleep During Call
I have those both set to "Not Allowed"
Still, the screen switches off during calls...

i used the Diamond Tweak and disabled both Fast Sleep, and Sleep.
Doesn't turn off during calls now.
I can confirm that Advanced Config on my stock Fuze does NOT have those options
Used Diamond Tweaks to do it
I emailed HTC support about this issue. Here is there response.
"We do apologize for your frustration, however there is no possible way to keep the screen lit up while on a call as it is like that for a purpose. the purpose is to avoid the pressing of the on screen buttons while on a call. If you would like to reactivate the screen while on a call you can simply press the power button and it will wake the screen backup."
It would be nice to have the phone behave exactly like an iphone during a call. Using the accelerometer to turn on and off the screen.
I already searched and found what I believe to be the diamond tweak you are all talking about...
But just to be sure, would someone mind linking to it, so I know I'm using the same thing that worked for you guys?
Thanks
I tried Diamond Tweak with my phone and it does not work for me.
Diamond Tweak works on my fuze.
This tip doesn't help the Fuze screen "stay on" but it can be used to at least turn the screen on easier while in call. Just hit the volume key (up or down) and the screen will pop back on. For a moment it shows the volume setting but then goes back to the home screen. I'm not using the TouchFlo shell so in my case it pops back to my home screen.
try a search in this forum for a file called No_Sleep_Raph
There is a catch you will loose mute phone on flip.
I would like to see this regedit as a program so you can turn it on or off rather then default on. Cause I keep hitting the screen buttons during a call
Hi,
Is it posible to disable backlight dimming in WM6?
I don't want to send the device go to standby, just turn off it's backlight, let me give you an example:
In WM5, where backlight dimming was not implemented yet, i was using this:
Sleep mode settings: both disabled,
Backlight: both enabled (battery and external),
Device lock enabled on today screen.
This way i could 'wake' the device just by tapping on the screen or on any button, and the next step being unlocking it. The battery consumption in this mode is almost the same as with using standby mode. And another big benefit was much more stability in the OS and other applications because the system was never going into real standby. And of corse wifi and other things could remain on while in this 'standby' mode. Also, imagine using S2U2 in this mode...
But.. this scenario is no more posbile in WM6, because backlight does not go off anymore, but instead it dimms, leading to a fast battery consumption.
Moreover, device lock function become useless.
Someone sugested ScreenOff (or blackme) /and ScreenOn. Leaving alone that this would be a 'manual' solution, you can't tap on screen after using screenoff because screen is completely off, not only the backlight, and tapping does nothing.

thnx alot for your help
Bump to keep this thread alive because I would really rather my phone working like that and have locking being actually useful. Because what's the point of locking your phone when it's gonna power off by itself anyway?
Hope people can come up with a solution soon. Maybe a registry edit to make the dim go to 0%.

thnx for support
I agree we need to get rid of dimming. Because that way S2U2 or any other lock program make no sense. I must first turn on the device then unlock. So locking is not needed because device is turned off.
I believe we should wake up microsoft to make a patch or an update or something about it.
If a general poll be posted i believe all the wm users would like - want this feature.
and maybe the admins as the xda community could declare our statement to microsoft.
What do you think?

thnx for the pool, the results seem favorable to us,
i was thinking, wm 6.5 will be out next year, maybe we are lucky and this will be fixed in it..?
I use S2U2 and I have it set to 'blank screen only' after 10 seconds. This means that by running s2u2.exe (which is mapped to a long press on a hardware button) it leaves the device locked with the screen off, but not suspended.

please, explain me how do you have set s2u2 exactly?
for me not works.
and how do you have mapped s2u2 to long press hardware button?
Thanks

In the s2u2 settings, in the battery power section, 'Power Off in' is set to 10seconds, and 'but Blank Screen only' is set to ON.
I've assigned s2u2.exe to a hardware button using 'spb pocket plus', although if you want a free package which does that, you'll have to search around.

Check to see if your backlight is set to auto adjust in your Power settings.
there is a bug in WM6.5... autolock and/or the auto dim is causing this problem(for me too)... i disabled autolock, and the problem's gone...
use S2U2 or something else
yep but i've got some problem with the last version of s2u2... i wasn't able to answer
i asked the same question few days ago in teh NRG rom thread - basically it was suggested to me to use a different program other than adv config to setup the autolock - searchn the forum for an app called 'Smartlock' - ive installed version 1.6 and it seems to work
only thing is it ignores slideshows (i.e. will dim and lock while viewing slideshow), slightly annoying but no biggy
