Having a bit of trouble with my backlight.
Trying to make it stay on whilst i'm running sportypal when on battery life.
Now, i've set it to exceptions list on G-light, set up everything on the power settings & it still turns of after 30 seconds.
Anyone got any advice??
Cheers,
Jake

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
I'm looking for an application or something that will keep the backlight off at all times while it's running. Sometimes late at night out in the country I don't need it to be able to see the screen very well and I'd like to save battery power as much as possible. Battery life is a constant concern when you're away from AC outlets.
The app is called LUMOS (it changes the backlight setting depending on the light around you) you can find it here it saves a lot of battery also NueDynamicClock is a must have if you want longer battery life I hope it helps
I have a similar problem - how do I prevent the backlight timeout from triggering ?
I use g-watch countdowntimer and when using that I wan the backlight to remain on but unless I keep touching the screen the backlight goes off after a few minutes.
Is there a registry key or something I can change to make g-watch an exception ? - I know my TOmTOm works fine
Sorry to clarify, I have found my problem is not backlight related and hence will start new thread.
I've had this issue with five different ROMs including the stock HTC ROM. It doesn't do it when the ROM is flashed freshly but starts within an hour or so, regardless of whether I load any other software on.
Here's exactly what happens. It doesn't matter if the unit is in standby or if the proximity sensor is activated. (On a phone call with phone by head - backlight is disabled.)
When the backlight is off and is activated by either pressing the power button or moving the phone away from the head, the backlight comes on dim, then goes off, then turns back on at regular brightness. The delay between activating the backlight and reaching regular brightness is around one second.
What is going on? This is really annoying. If I'm on a call and want to mute the mic, I take the phone away and "flash, flash, mute". Then I want to unmute and the same thing.
I don't have any software on the phone right now that most of the rest of you don't have. I've got:
AT&T keyboard fix
Dusk lockscreen
PHM Regedit
Safe Inbox Extender
Clock flip disable
1% battery driver
Theme pack for 1% battery icons
I've reflashed and installed none of this software and the issue doesn't occur. Without installing any software, the issue recurs within a day. (Usually within an hour)
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
I am running CM 6.1 Stable, and have been for a while, yet this issue just popped up a few days ago.
I cannot get the phone to auto shutoff the screen when idle. I have it set to 5sec off and 1 sec lock, (down from 30 sec off, 5 sec lock before).
I have looked at the stock settings and all are in order.
The only thing different is I was trying to play with the setting on my Alarm Clock Plus regarding screen setup, but have reverted to original settings and even rebooted several times with no success.
Anyone else having issues with this? Any way to enable screen off again without having to flash a recovery?
It's really killing my battery fast!
Thanks for you help!

In the android display settings, 15 seconds is the least amount of time to turn off display. how is yours set to 5?
In cyanogenmod settings, theres options to tell the lockscreen to kick in after the screen has automatically turned off and when the user has pushed the power (sleep) button. what is your time set to in the android settings? (settings - display - screen timeout)

Um....finding rock, and hiding underneath it!!!
Turns out I am a moron that can't read.....but I swore that I had the display set to 30 sec....It was disabled. I will test again, over the next few days if for some reason it reverts to disabled.
Thanks!

Lol no prob. Happens to the best of us!
At least once a day the WiFi goes off, as well as the BT, the ringer goes into vibrate mode, display timeout drops to 15 seconds.
Nothing is set to turn on the power save function as far as I can see, but I did notice it's happening more often around midnight.
Please help, it's getting really frustrating to see a lot of missed calls and such because of that.
I'm using Nougat and I'm rooted.
Thanks for any advice that can help me resolve this.
