Hi,
Here is my problem, hopefully someone can make some suggestions.
I have a 5in satnav with igo 8 primo on it. The backlight controls in primo do not adjust the backlight. This Nozatec unit is running wince6 and the processor is MStar semicondiuctor, Cortex-A9-MSB2531. There is a BacklightCTL.exe in \windows. When I run this a windows control is opened with a slider, 0-19, this adjusts the backlight. The control is labelled MStar too. On boot the unit opens to its own menu, not wince. This menu also has a backlight control which works. wince control panel, display, backlight tab, just has backlight timeout settings, both blank, no backlight adjustment. Reg edit shows not backlight setting in the registry. It doesn't seem possible to add an entry. There seems to be no keyboard in this wince so in regedit add new entry opens up a pop-up, incomplete (there is no explorer either), and clicking in the name value boxes gives no keyboard, the only option is to reboot with power button.
I guess igo primo might need a setting to tell it how to drive the backlight but I've tried that and only backlight_methods=45 seems to do anything and that is just to cause the unit to crash on loading primo and reboot. Maybe I need a dll I don't have?
Any suggestions or hopefully solutions?
Thanks

I've tried googling all sorts of terms but I still can't fix my problem.
I run Pocketmind PocketMusic as my preferred music player. When I try to go to key mappings, and set one of the hardware keys to turn screen display off, it does the function that's set in the Windows Mobile Buttons panel, which is to go to my Today screen instead of the player commands. Setting that button in the Buttons control panel to <Nothing> doesn't solve this problem . I'm running WM6.
The same key binding worked fine on Conduits PocketPlayer, so I suspect there is another application that is conflicting with it. Any advice would be much appreciated!
heh, Surprisingly I have the exact same issue and it just happened recently for no apparent reason... but regardless I think I have found a resolution, I was running S2U2 and XCPU and I ran iLock from S2U2 and then I did the key lock for XCPU and now it works for some unknown reason.... obscure isnt it?
P.S: Hope it works for you too! If not just remove anything that could affect key locking.
Is there any option / registry hack how to disable keylock in touch pro?
HTC Touch has an icon - keylock - in the settings, but HTC touch pro doesn't.
It is very uncomfortable to activate (not start, but turn the phone on from saving state) phone via power button.
Maybe I have an idea for new useful program.
Once the display is off, make a round with your finger around the main button on the sensitive desk (like if you want to zoom the page in the Opera). This could be great.
Anyone knows how to disable automatic HW keylock?
Thanks for your thoughts.

you should ask the raph owners in the appropriate thread.
BUT! on the diamond, you can disable the key lock in settings.
Sorry for wrong thread
I know how to do it on diamond, but I don't on raphael.
in registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
set:
defaultkeylock
from 1 to 0
Then soft reset.
touch pro has it in settings under the system tab for me (was just educated on this earlier)
In standard ROM Keylock for setup wakeup key missing. It is possible set up only password.
Any idea how to get it back? I want traditional keylock back
hi, i can't seem to find keylock application that locks all hardware buttons but power when device is on sleep mode. have you got it on yours? i had it on my old tytn II
do you have a
settings->buttons->lock ?
no. have you? i've got only Program buttons, Up/Down Control and backlight tabs there
hmm...you mean setting up a lock to turn off all keys until you hit Unlock then confirm by tapping the key on the screen?
Press and hold the "End" button and that locks the device.
It is configured under start>setting>Long key press.
MIGHT NOT be the thing you are meaning though.
no, you know when you pres power button phone goes sleep mode? there should be a setting where you can decide if you want to allow other hardware buttons wake phone from sleep or other wise.
currently which ever hw button i press phone wakes up i.e send (green) button, terminate call (red button) or action (round) button.
this is no good when phone in your pocket. a small touch to any of them wakes phone up. i thought it is standart wm option as i had it since wizard
Hmm, when i power off the only thing which will power back on is pressing the power button, opening the keyboard or removing the stylus?
I've just got a touch pro and when I power off, no other buttons will wake up the phone.
That being said, I still have my Tytn II and the Key Lock application is found under Start...Settings...System...Key Lock. The Long Key Press app is not what you're after.
It seems strange that your Touch Pro wakes up on any button push. Maybe you need to change a registry setting instead?
wierd ; on mine apart from those, any button powers it up. only config tool i used is advanced confing and there isint any setting regarding this on that tool

do you know which key i should change?
On touch Pro there is no Keylock option in the settings.
Only way how to activate the device is to:
1. press power button
2. open the keyboard
3. take out the stylus
There is no config like on the HTC Touch/Diamond.
I've contacted Julien Schapman, vendor of advanced config and asked him to add this settings to his application.
this is his answer:
Ok I will look at it when I could get a Touch Pro.
Best regards,
Julien Schapman.
So I hope his new version will have this settings. This is really missing.
But maybe someone is able to export this registry path on the HTC Diamond:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD
there should me something like
"KeyLock"=dword:1
Or maybe another. I don't know.

very cool app to unlock and lock the phone.
Tested and works on touch pro.
I'll be replacing S2U2 with this!

It should be in the \Windows directory:
\Windows\Keylock.lnk
\Windows\Keylock.exe
Create a shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Settings
I don't have this in my HD2 - any ideas if it can be installed seperately?
No idea as I have an at&t Fuze and this is a RAPH/TP/Fuze forum You might have better luck if you posted a link to this thread in the HD2 forum? Also, an alternative to s2u2, check THIS thread (QuickShutdown)
n-Joie! (Enjoy)

I haven't KeyLock in my ROM by default too, but I found it on another forum after many hours searching in the Internet
Unpack it and put enywhere (in example: "Windows" or "Program Files" and run).
Greetings.
While playing music in windows media player, i assigned a button to "Toggle Screen" function which effectively turns off the screen but keeps buttons alive so i can skip/seek/pause/etc... but the problems is that after about 1 minute, hardware buttons get disabled as well (but music keeps playing), which is quite frustrating when you expect buttons to work but they dont anymore.
i'm assuming its because in my power settings i set it to "Turn off device if not used for 1 minute".... But the confusing part is that i've used to have same settings on my PPC-6800/Titan/Mogul and the hardware buttons stayed on forever after i turned off the screen using WMP's "Toggle Screen" function.
is there an excpetion list somewhere that would turn my device off in 1 minute if not used UNLESS there is "WMP/wmplayer.exe" process running? or maybe there is an different solution that would produce the desired result?
PS: i'm running Sprint's stock rom.
Thanks!
You could use AEButton Plus to assign the Screen Toogle to any button you want (for example to long press the action key). That would work in any application, also in WMP.
tried it and AEButton Plus does the job. assigned the function to the d-pad's down button (center button is used for enter, ok/minimize, close, and task-manager through one click, double click, tripple click, long click respectively)... xcept now there is this half a second lag everytime i want to scroll down with the d-pad. quite annoying...
btw after some experimenting i found that wmp's "toggle screen" function turns off the screen and keeps desired buttons working, indefinetely, only if i disable the whole "Turn off device if not used for x minutes" option (Turn off the backlight option doesnt have any effect on wmp's function). so it seems that this function is causing the problem.
since on ppc6800 wmp's function worked perfect without any hiccups even with that power setting turned on, i suspect that there just has to be some way to replicate same behavior on touch pro. is there some place in registry that controls the power settings and its preferences?
PS: i need to "toggle screen" only when in wmp, cuz in other cases i just use power button to effectively turn off and lock the device using s2u2.
I use WMP's built in function of toggle screen. Set it to hold left. It works like a charm.

what are the settings in your "Start > Settings > System > Power > Advanced" screen? and also, what ROM are you running? because setting 'toggle screen' to hold left and having 'turn off device after x..' set still produce the bug i mentioned in the first post, hardware buttons disabled 40 seconds after initiating 'toggle screen' with wmp...
Hi
i'm running wm6.5 on my raphael and i've got a problem:
when the screen is automatically locked, the screen dimm to save power. fine
but even if i unlock it, the screen is keeped dimmed.
i have to press the power button to get the screen bright again
i've found in Advanced config in the screen section an option: "Backlight lock level " but when i try to change it, after a soft reset, the value is not saved...
is there a fix?

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
