Hi,
There are 2 files in windows directory(I use AT&T stock ROM)
devicelocksetting.exe
devicelock.htm
double click devicelocksetting.exe will pop up a screen to let you choose if you want auto-lock the device after backlight turns off. However I checked the option and wait for screen blackout, the device is not locked. Anyone have some sort of idea? please don't recommend other locking software because I am not searching autolocking software, I am just intested in this oem program.
Thanks

If your backlight is set to Auto, it probably won't work.

Wrong. When the backlight turns off (whether its the time out or you press on the power button so it goes to standby) it should auto-lock. It might not work on the ROM you are using though. Its working on 6.5 but theres a screen dimming issue.
I unchecked backlight auto, it is still not working, so it could be ROM problem. I am just wondering AT&T Stock ROM won't support own software?

I don't have this issue, I was just guessing, thus the "probably".
Mine always auto locks.

Well I didn't mean to sound like an ogre either. I'm sorry.
But if it doesn't auto-lock, there is PROBABLY something wrong with your ROM.

It wastes lots of battery. I think i might have damaged the light sensor but i've tried turning it off but it doesnt change anything.
Anybody know?
Even if the light sensor is damaged, your backlight will go off after your device idles for some. Check your settings
thanks for the prompt reply.
ive checked all my power managment settings and they're all on the lowest time settings..
i dont understand why it would do this.
Are you using any softwares that manages the backlight timeout? Such as Tweak2k2, etc
it seems to be working fine now after i restarted my phone.
i wasnt using any software.
thanks for your help.

my phone did this before. but yea just a simple reset fixed it
Maybe you installed maniac's AutoKeyLock, I had the same behavior a couple of time...
It seems like after some time, it overrides by mistake the power mgt values.
Hi!
I have the same problem. Wm6 The back light turn to the dim mode and that"s all. It does switch off the screen. If I connect to the AC power It does the same. When I lock the keypad, every thing seems to be all right. It switches the screen off. Any idea. I restarted the phone, but nothing changed, i didn't install any Autokeylock program.
Hi, this problem exist occasionally after you install some apps (i.e. AutoKeylock). You can fix it easy - enter registry and open key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power" then modify value in key "Display".
Thanks, it is working.
Hello,
i am using my touch cruise (or better o2 xda orbit 2) for navigating on my bike.
I use it in my pocket, only listening. After some research and testing i found a way to use tomtom with locked screen.
I now want to turn the backlight off because of power consumption. But when locked the backlight is only turned to minimum, not off. How can i turn off the backlight completely ?
I tried several tools which turns the whole display off. This works fine with all applications except tomtom, i dont know why but as soon as the display is switched off tomtom stops.
So i want to turn at least the backlight completely off, but how can i do that?

With my older pocketpc's and pocketphone's the backlight could be turned down with pressing the power button for a longer period.
I told it was about 3 sec holding te powerbutton and the backlight stops.
But with the HTC TC i din't tried it yet..and my device is now at the repair centre..so you have to try it.
But when the backlight is down..you don't see a think when ther is enough sun light..so why do you want that..buy a usb car powerplug and you can charge it and use it with full light on!
Does not work (3sec pwr button)
I dont need to see anything on the screen. it will be in my pocket while navigating so theres no need for backlight.
And a car charger on the motorbike - that would need a socket to plug it in.

Thanks, i already tried it before. As soon as the screen gets black TomTom stops.
It says it turns the backlight off but as far as i can see it disables the whole screen. And as soon as this happens the f***ing TomTom stops the Navigation.
If i press the pwr button for 3 sec the device asks me if i want to turn it off.

Hi remoh, I'm having the same problem. Have you found a solution for disabling the backlight by now?
How did you manage to lock the screen and keep TomTom navigating?
Let me get this straight... do you want to turn the screen off (i.e. lock it) or just turn off the backlight (in which case the screen remains active)?
For the second case there should be some options for it in TomTom, but it's primarily for in-car use. (never used TomTom before, it's crap for my country... i'm just basing on iGO)

Being able to turning the screen off would be great but just being able to turn off the backlight would be fine also. Tomtom doesn't have an option for this afaik.
Now, thats the second reason i won't use TomTom... if the first wasn't enough
Not even power saving options?
Hi All,
I have a (strange?) problem with the screen backlight - dont know if this is a feature or a bug? I have the "Auto adjust backlight" checked on (by default). While I connect to my pc (via usb) during autosynch, the screen dims after a certain time - which is good, but the screen backlight does not brighten up when I start using the phone (the phone still being connected to pc via usb). The screen brightens up if I click the power button off and then on but this disconnects the autosynch and reconnect.
Am I missing something?
P.S, I have installed "Autoconfig" and "Diamond Tweak" both, but have not configured anything from there.
Thanks,
pkshr
Any suggestions ....
be patient... people will eventually help you
In the mean time why don't you just turn off auto backlight ?
Hi abc12345,
I am noticing this issue not only during syncing but even when using the phone too. If I use the phone for few minutes the backlight automatically dims even I am still using the phone.
Sorry if this seems a stupid question but why does the power button turn off and on brightens the screen if it has to dim after a while? Is this an expected behaviour? Is unchecking "Auto backlight" the only issue for this?
Is this problem only with my fuze ??

Just waiting for a solution..it used to fine with my phone until i installed ThrottleLock0.4.. then the same things happened..i would auto sync my phone and when i would push the power button ..it disconnects the autosync..
same issue here
Heya, Im having an issue where my hardware button led's are stuck on after I put the device into sleep mode, I have to wake the phone up touch the center 'ok' button then set it back to sleep to get the lights to turn off.
Anyone else having this issue or know a fix?
Touch pro, Energy rom 1/aug/09 6.5, It was happining in a 6.1 version of enegy rom too. so maybe a hardware issue?

Check your Sounds and Notification Settings, you're probably set to flash for certain notifications. Adjust it and see if it helps.
Its not the center dial flashing, the 4 outside lights for each of the icons remain on.
ive yet to test if reciving a notifcation turns them off.
Thanks

Anyone?
mine does it all the time, between waiting on text messages, typically when i sleep her with the keyboard out.. doesn't bother me tho?
i just look at it and say "you stupid ****in phone" which i do in increasing amounts anyway..?
It has something to do with the keyboard.
Sometimes,when I have the keyboard slided out this happens,so I need to turn it on,close the phone(wait few seconds for stupid autorotation),then switch it off.
Hi All,
Been having this issue for a while now.
Basically with my tablet docked and the option which disabled keyboard wake up in the settings UNTICKED I cannot wake my screen once the screen has been locked for longer than 30seconds.
No matter what I do i.e use the touchpad or press keys the only way to wake the screen is via the power button.
It's extremely frustrating has anyone had the same issue previously?

100% I made sure. I've been through all other options and can't figure out why this is happening. Is been the same across numerous full wipes. I could make a video to show the issue if it helps?

Tried it only works to unlock when the screen is on. Then it works. The issue is turning the screen on via the keyboard.
I don't think ths has worked since JB came in. The behaviour you are describing is default I believe. If the screen self locks then you don't get much time to use the touchpad to unlock it.
On mine when I open the lid it unlocks the screen. Does yours do this?

OK, last try, disabled the screen lock (no lock screen) and see if it wakes.

Yeah when I open the lid this does wake the screen.
I guess this must be it, weird is it even worth the bother of emailing ASUS?
It's weid that when THAT tried it for me he had no issues with it, unless he wasn't leaving it for long enough. Noticed that tonite i've had no issues with using the trackpad to wake the screen however, spotify is running so maybe that interferes with the locking process?
Thanks for the help Buh, but don't think it's worth disabling the lock screen completely just to get this working!

I tried it this morning (after 6 hours sleep time), and it still worked - I hit the lock key, and the tablet was awake instantly - how unfair, I was still sleepy.

I guess this is my tablet punishing me for using such poor stock ROM's on it for so long
I also have this problem when I use Cromi. I found that I can "fix" it by clicking and unclicking "MobileDock Battery saving mode" whenever I reboot the tablet-doing so allows me to wake the screen using the keyboard. Also, see if you have the same problem with Cromi-X. I recently upgraded to Cromi-X and the keyboarding waking screen problem went away.
I had the same issue, and fixed it with a clean wipe and install...
