hi, i have a minor problem using mobipocket ebook reader. its really very annoying that the backlight turns off after my preset "turn off backlight if device is not used for..." which is 30 secs. i use the autoscroll function of the reader and i dont understand why the iis fails to recognise that mobipocket is running.is there a workaround for this problem?
2 things to look for.
1. in the backlight settings, tick on... turn on backlight when the screen is tapped.. probably it is already done.
2. in mobipocket --- general settings, tick touch screen turn page..
if this does not work.. then just reinstall

thanks for the response but the solution you proposed is not exactly connected to my problem because i dont want to use the tap screen to turn page function.i use autoscroll.primarily,i want for the backlight to stay on while im reading without having to constantly tap on the screen as it scrolls.as you probably know,once you tap on the screen scrolling stops and it really annoys me because i read so that i could get sleepy.it kinda defeats the purpose of "AUTO"scroll if you have to still use the stylus or your finger to keep the backlight on.

I don't want to revive a five-year-ago problem again, but I have the same problem. While autoscroll is active, the backlight turns off!
Any suggestions?
usually, if you set your display backlight to turn off after 30sec without activity, it will switch off after 30sec. without activity. no surprises there.
activity for that setting is defined by tapping the screen or pressing a hardware button, not by any program running.
usually games, the camera and multimedia players bypass that with their own setting of keeping the backlight alive while the program is run, so you could for example run tcpmp or coreplayer on pause in the background to keep the display lid.
or you set your backlight not to turn off when on ac power and connect the cable.

Just upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1, and for whatever reason, if my phone is unlocked and idle, it no longer goes to "sleep." Instead of the backlight turning off like in WM6, the backlight goes full brightness and displays a white screen. Has anyone seen this before? Any workaround/fix?
Thanks!
Sounds like you got the wrong display driver for your phone. What phone and what ROM are you running ?!

I've had this problem before!
It happened when I was playing with the power management settings in the Registry. I found if I then locked my phone (e.g. long press of hang up button), the screen would time out and go completely white on full brightness.
To fix it was easy enough - just change the power management reg keys.
Once I screwed them up soo much I had to do a hard reset so watch out before playing.
Mine has been doing this also, I believe it may have something to do with the Light Config option in CeleTask. Will test more

And what should I change the power management reg keys to?
Could you give more detailed instructions, including which keys to change, and what to change them to?
Thanks!

Yes I believe so too because it only happens when I use the low light option as well.
first off try....
go into power management under settings.
1. backlight time out on battery should not be set to never.
2. backlight time out on AC could but it still will turn off after the time period you have set for the next setting.
3. Display timeout- will turn off the display off completely after the time period set here.
1 and 2 low dim the screen prior to setting on 3
turn lowlight off... it hardly ever works. lol
Hi!
I am looking for tweak or application which turns off backlight - not just dim the display to lower level after some time.
I want to completely turn off backlight to 0% and when the screen is tapped the backlight is on again.
Any solution for this?
ya core player does that...even tcmp player

If in Setup>Power supply>Advanced click on "Deactive device when not run for"
this setup turns off all display lights after minute that you set and in the same time blocks all keys.
To reactivate the handheld just press the power button.
I find this setup very useful.
Exscuse me because I have not an english ROM and I don't know if I have made a right translation of commands.
Thanks luigug, but that is how I configure my device from start.
The point is that I dont want to press power button again to activate device, just to tap on screen and use slide to unlock application.
Any other clues?
Thanks
you are right, this is a major design mistake in wm6 "features", and all wm6 devices suffer from it. This behaviour actualy make the native windows Device lock function unusable. Also, wm is much more stable if you never suspend it, and battery performance is almost the same.
I even searched for a wm5 downgrade rom for my eten m800 (wm5 does not have the dimming "feature"), but without success.
I still hope someone will manage to get a fix for this to function like in the wm5 days (my mio a701 was able to do it easely). Maybe we should make a wish topic in development section ?
i tried to search but cant find any good solutionabout this,
how do you turn off the backlight of the keyboard manually? with my delicate fingers i can actually type in tp2 using my fingers, however in a decent light condition, the keyboard backlight automatically turns on sometimes and i cant read the characters on the keyboard (wished the buttons are black)
i tried to turn off the kb backlight autosensor, turns out it manually turns on the backlight, not turning it off.
any ideas?
I would also like to know how to shut off the keyboard back light.
I think it is a waste of battery life sometimes.
Do anyone know how to create some kind of manual switch that would allow me to toggle between having it on (with the auto sensor) and just always off?
I remember having some kind of application for this on my palm centro.
Thanks
Anyone?
The only work around I have found so far is to open the keyboard, then press the power button then press it again, and not touch the keyboard, and the back light will remaind off. I do this so I can watch videos with the keyboard out and the screen tilted.
you can change the timeout in hkcu\controlpanel\backlight\qkeyledtimeout default is 10. maybe you can change it to 0 or atleast 1.
it looks like keylightautosensor might be what you are looking for. you can try em out. soft reset to apply.

That didn't seem to do anything?
Does anyone knows how to do that??
During the day, here is no need for the screen to be lit. But looks like it turns backlight on when turn on...
Tried to use minimum light instead of automatic, but still turns on the backlight :\
Any ideas?
Bump, was about to ask the same question.
In Android 5.0.1 you can turn off the backlight on motions.
Can not turn it off when you receive notifications but me I see no huge issue.
There is a app .... think somebody posted it in Android Wear forum that gives you more control if you want it darker.
edit
To lock your screen press the side button 3 times consecutively. Your screen will stay on without the backlight (monochrome look) but won't turn on when u look at or touch the screen. You can activate the screen with 1 click. Or unlock it again with 3 clicks. Handy for saving battery life I just found it by messing about and was looking everywhere on forums.
Hello guys,
i know there's a way to disable tilt to wake gestures from the watch settings, but is there a way to keep the watch on and also disable the "tilt to sleep" gesture ?
thanks
There is also a way to set screen always ON on watch setting
That's not the same thing. Always on screen is Active even if backlight is off. I want both active at same time ! If i tilt the Watch down, the backlight goes off and any sideloaded app open on Watch get closed.
what do you want ? screen ON with backlight ? without backlight ? active ? not active ?
if you add theater mode (double button click) screen keep ON and not active.
for always screen ON and backlight ON there are some app to keep backlight but battery last 5 hours....

Yep, i want screen on and backlight on as i am testing a sideloaded app, i dont care about battery.
Which app ? I don't want to root my Watch
Some app like :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.instext.lightr
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phonephreak.extendedlight
Did you ever find something to achieve this? It seems there needs to be a way to disable the action of tilting backwards/down from triggering ambient mode. That StayLit appears to only be for when the watch is still facing you. Ambient still gets triggered in alternate directions.
EDIT: I just realized "Infinity" in StayLit did what I needed. The + didn't work so I thought it wasn't working at all.
