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 ?

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.
hello,
i had a neo and it turned off backlight after some while (but not power off the device). i also want this for the artemis. but artemis just dims the backlight to low level. i want it to completly turn off the backlight. is this a registry setting?
i need this for online activity in background (for example ICQ)...
anyone?
docmax
hi Docmax and everyone else.
I also am looking for exactly this options, but i would use it for listening to streaming radio. I must say that i find it very strange, this is not an standard possibility in wm2005 with the artemis.
Lets hope some bright member knows a solution to our problem.
Thankx y'all!
You should consider PhoneAlarm from Pocketmax, with the profiles you'll get full control of your backlight, and they even have a button/screen-lock software over there

Hello,
My On/Off button does not work anymore.
Only incoming call, soft reset, or USB pluging awakes my P3300
* Is there a way to hard reset anyway, as it could fix the problem.
* If impossible or useless, what's the best way to backup the whole before sending to repair.
Thanks for your kind help,
Jean-Jacques
Not sure if this is the same as I had, but my device (o2 XDA) appeared dead with a blank screen apart from USB and calls. The device was still working though, as I could here key clicks when I pressed the screen. I plugged it into USB and checked the screen brightness when on battery, this had somehow set itself to dark, adjusted it back up again and everything back to normal.
Have met this on several Qtek, with no known fix to this bug...
Mine is gone back for repair, as the problem was th on/off button.
Thanks danpier.

My on/off button was also faulty for a short while. It rectified itself after a few days and hasn't been any bother at all since. Same sympoms, you could turn the display on/off only by fiddling with the button, pushing it to one side etc.
i found the reason - problem is with backlight settings.
Artemis is not compatible with any phone profiles software - disabling this software or any options related to backlight will solve the problem.
Do not use backlight controls from Spbp PocketPlus as well.
my on off button was a bit sticky, the other day, i hope its not on its way out!!!

Just read your post and it must explain why my three day old Orbit will not wake up from sleep mode by pressing the on/off button. I installed PocketPlus day one and have touched the backlight control.
Do you suggest I now have to remove pocketplus and reinstall it or is there a way round this?
Peter
Just to answer my own question I have solved my problem with the on/off switch not turning the screen back on.
I turned PocketPlus screen brightness to highest, then went into MS screen brightness, turned them both down and then up to full again (preumably overwriting any changes PocketPlus made) - now my on/off switch works for sleep mode as it should.
Hope this helps somebody else.

No.. just:
- remove backlight control from pocketplus tab
- go to control panel and set proper values again
it was enough for my p3300.
Astier: please, make sure it is really on/off issue. Artemis' LCD is very dark without backlight. I found the answer during my trip to Spain in bright noon sun
Onother solution is, map spb pocketplus brightness control to your buttons so you can control screen brightness easily by flicking the buttons.
Backlight settings in PocketZenPhone are also incompatible with Artemis and are causing this issue.
Pocket Plus v.3.2 backlight issue resolved...
Although I have not upgraded to this version yet, SPB claims to have resolved the annoying backlight issue with the newest version of SPB's Pocket Plus:

Please post if others have found that this indeed does work!

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
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.
