I am aware that this question would have been asked previoulsy as it might be a common point however let me ask it again and request some tips in this regard.
Does anyone know of a means assign a softkey to toggle the brightness levels.
The sittuation is when you out in bright daylight, sometimes its even difficult to see button on the home screen for toggling brightness.
The other part of my question is does anyone have any tips for dealing with this sittuation?
-Tariq
a solution..
you can copy program attached in zip file to your PDA ..
create a shortcut to \windows\start menu\programs ..
after assign any softkey in setting\buttons

I am using MVBacklight and it does the job!!!
I just used a register editor to change to 8 (Dec) value the LockLevel register
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > ControlPanel > BackLight > LockLevel > LockLevel Value ...
(HTC Touch Cruise 3650, Polaris) but it is not ok. I must do something else... What could be?...

i wanted to asign that feature with one of the hardware buttons but i couldnt find the "screen rotate" in the buttons options. i was told pocket plus can do it so i can finally see the <screen rotate> but i dont wanna install that tool just because of this.
is there a registry entry which could help or so?
TIA

Can anyone recommend a good key lock program? Right now i am using the one included with Smarttoolkit but i find the back light still comes on too frequent when some buttons are touched while in my pockets. I think it is killing my battery time.
Thanks
autokeylock or maybe it's "auto key lock"
pretty sure it's one word. search the forum for it. just do your reading because you may need to adjust your registry setting as it tends to set your display timeout to 7 seconds. Works fine after you regedit that oddity out.
It's free too.
It's also available in most WM6 ROMs.

<shamelessplug>Correct would be Automatic Keylock</shamelessplug>

If something like that happens, it's inside Windows Mobile. Automatic Keylock does _not_ touch the display timeout.

It seems to have something to do with the registry holding the the non-keylock settings and the keylock settings.
It's this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power\LockLevel]
Quite e few threads/posts with people crying because their screen times out too fast (7secs). Changing the value to "0" fixes it.
I wondered if it had something to do with some keys being in hex and others in binary.... So if a hex/binary/decimal value is entered into a binary/decimal/hex key, it sets the wrong timeout.
I often see people post the same registry keys and the values are not in the same entry system (how do I express this thought?). Of course this is with all kinds of things, not just the above registry key.
I have a real mishmash in my audiogain keys. some are hex, e.g. C7, some are plane decimal values and some are binary. Makes it difficult to tweak when it's not obvious what you're looking at.
Hi,
I`m very annoyed with the HTC-ROM bugs.
Is there an easy way to fix the 10sec. backlight-off problem.
And that always is the 20-keypad active.
Is there an way to start with the last used screen instead the Today-screen
from standby??
I´m only an PPC-user not an PPC-specialist!
Thanks

To change default keyborad search for SIPchange. For backlight - if you're talking about in call one, just install the file attached.
Hi vasil,
thanks for the SIPchange tip.
My Backlight Problem is, that it ALWAYSS turns off after 10 seconds.
What does your cab file do? Only backlight-ON when a call is active??
Thanks ,

Got the Start Menu -> settings -> System -> Backlight -> Battery Power, and change the "Turn off backlight if device is not used for.." setting.

Worked on mine. Are you waiting at least two minutes before resetting the TC? If not, then you're not giving the setting time to get saved.
Thank You!
Now I had set 1Min and after Registry change wait a bit..
Now it works!
I will be crazy!
The Lock Level is is still 1 !!! and the Display is off after 10 seconds.
But This afternoon it had worked... But now?
Why doesnt it work on my Orbit 2 ??

Sharer777 - thanks for those reg entries. FYI, they are not formatted correctly. I had to make some minor changes to get them to take effect. I had to add "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" at the top of the file, and took out an extra blank line at the bottom of the file before it would import.
Also, in my SIP list, while it got rid of touch-keyboard, it still lists touch keyboard. I'll try a reset and see if that clears it up.
Thanks for that though..I've been looking for that!!

Agreed, thanks, but I removed the backlight update anyway. I realised that the advantage of the screen turning off after a few seconds is that I don't press the screen with my fat face and run loads of programs by accident...

As mentioned the .cab fix has solved the problem but created another, I have just finished a 33 min phone call and my face is no fire, is there a happy medium fix somewhere, or could there be ie. backlight switches off after 1,2,3,4..mins and not 10 seconds?
FYI - there is also the same related thread, Problem: display turns of during call - can they be joined?
Ive also the problem, that i can change the backlight time from 10 secs to 30 or more... but also after restart, its again @ 10 secs!!! Think, thats an annoying bug.

XDA Neo
hi,
I have also the 10secs display darken Problem on the orbit2.
I had same problem on XDA Neo, found no (working!) reg fix for that, only the program BatteryStatus had an option to clear the problem out.
Can it be a O2 based problem?
found something working:
try this:
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
ignore the LockLevel key inside the LockLevel folder...RENAME the folder to LockLevelx...i tried various other strategies but this caused the phone to eventually recreate the LockLevel folder with the proper key inside...but this time the key was set to 0 instead of 1. it's been 2 weeks with multiple soft resets and the backlight settings have been surviving as they should...
Koerc, you are my man! It works!
Cheers,
Derek.
Any ideas how I get the backlight to come on when the keyguard is activated? Its really hard to see the keys.
Also, in windows mobile 5 on my XDA mini s the keyguard deactivated when the passcode was entered. on this version the 'enter' button has to be pressed before the pass code is accepted. Can this be switched off?
Cheers!
James
I have the same questions... can anybody help us?

Hi there, could you tell me where you found the reg hacks? I would like to give it a go since I am desperate enough to try anything to sort this problem out.
This Registry entry swichtes on backlight when device is suspended and blocked:
Rename folder HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel to:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX
OK, accept = yes, Soft-Reset
It's somewhere in tricks thread, for me it works like a charm.

It's not working. Although I renamed HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
-> HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX
After soft reset, HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel come back again & HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX appear to be a new registry entry.

Yes, that is right, both folders are there now. When creating LockLevelX, did you click in ok on the top / right side of screen ?
Rgds,
Yes I did that.
I thought your suggestion will turn the backlight on when we press the key while the key is locked.
Anyway your suggestion can help in the following scenario

I feel sorry when it's not what you were looking for. Anyway, "my suggestion" comes from HTC Polaris tweaks and tricks
Rgds,
Hi I found this 'fix' on google, i think it was on an HTC forum (i.e. via htc website).
I have O2 Orbit2 and had the dim screen on keylock/password lock. (While those who don't have it may not see the problem i couldn't actually tell if the machine was on or not, in sunlight, to unlock!)
The solution was to goto HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
and change the value to 00000003.
The only issue is that on my Orbit2, using PHM regedit, this immediately 'fixes' the issue but reverts on reset!
Just means I have to re do the reg edit after every reset.
BTW have been very annoyed at the '10 second' backlight bug so am hoping locklevelx will fix that.
Very glad to say that renaming lock level to locklevelx has sorted out both problems! I now have both folders HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel&HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelx
The backlight now goes off after 30 seconds when the keys are unlocked.
When the keys are locked the backlight stays on for ten seconds, it will then come back on for ten seconds with any button press or screen tap.
On resume from standby, locked or unlocked the backlight is on.
Step by step of what edits I made.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel; value set to 00000003;
then
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel renamed to HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelx
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ string battery timeout; value set to 30
SOFT RESET
Then looking at the registry
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel; has value 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelx; has value 00000003 (displayed as 3)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight Battery timeout = 30
As previously mentioned the renaming of the folder worked on my orbit II

1. Auto-unlock when sliding out the keyboard.
2. No on screen keyboards when slide-keyboard is out.
There must be ways to make this happen with some hack or app..
Maybe there is, but I could not find it on this forum.
Probably this is what you looking for ?
If it is ........then there is just one small thing left
cool.......
I surgested in the gyrator2 topic to add the slide keyboard to the events options, who know this might turn out to be my ideal phone
S2U2 has the unlock feature you are wanting and now can also be unlocked by pulling out the stylus.
-To unlock when the keyboard is opened just enable the setting "unlock when screen is rotated"

I went to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip then created a DWORD named TurnOffAutoDeploy with value 1
Soft reset the phone
Slide the keyboard out
Then I opened Opera, go to google, then I select the search form and there is the virtual keyboard on screen
What did I do wrong?
Check the registry, is the edit still there or is it gone? If it is gone then retry and them make sure you wait about a minute, put the phone to sleep and then soft reset.
that's an opera issue... i think everybody has this problem
p.s.
Autodeploy SIP can be done from Advanced Config 3.2 as well..
