Does anyone know how to tweak registry (WM5) to prevent cutting off SDI/O power when device goes to sleep?
Thanks.

Anyone know how to get the backlight back to the original setting? I tried to go into Settings to Battery Icon and clicked on Backlight and adjusted it there but everytime the phone goes into sleep mode, the backlight always reverts to power saver mode and I cant see a damn thing on my screen. It is very frustrating...anyone know how to correct this problem? Am I doing something wrong???? TIA....M3
I have the same problem, but in my Wisard the problem happens when a soft reset is executed ... I was searching about it on the internet and I found that maybe the problem is an incopatibility between the fone and the SPB Pocket Plus backlight functionality ... I will try to uninstall the SPB to see what happens ...
Here's my backlight bug theory...
On the Wizard there are problems with any programs that try to change the backlight settings and often the result is they end up turning it off.
PocketZenPhone, PhoneAlarm and SPB Pocket Plus all have features to control the backlight (do you have the backlight plugin installed on your today screen?) that load at boot, or on the Today screen, and these seem to cause problems.
I use PhoneAlarm and have problems on occasion. Believe it or not I found the solution was to tell PA to set the backlight at 40% which it can't be set to on the Wizard (25% increments only) and it stops shutting it off. If I have it set for 50% (which *is* valid on the Wizard) it shuts it off.
Anyway this is my theory on the mysterious backlight bug, if anybody else has any other ideas, I'd love to hear them.

If you go to the backlight applet and check the Turn on backlight when a button is pressed or the screen is tapped on both the Battery Power and External Power tabs you should be all set. Had the same issue after the last iMate ROM update and this is what fixed it.
Hope it works for you. Good luck.

I find that if I set the turn off backlight after X seconds (default is 10 seconds) it will always reset itself back to default no matter if I uncheck the box or set it to 1 minute (like I would like to set it to). I'm not sure why the setting changes because none of the other settings in the same backlight settings applet change back to their default values.
Anyone have this issue?
There are some programs did that. What I did was hard reset my phone then installed all programs one by one. There are some programs that concerned about power conservation.
Check the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\LockLevel
If value is "1" change it to "0"
Please soft reset your device and test again on backlight turning off on the preset timing.
Thanks to Mike, the Moderator.
Change the backlight timer under setting. DO NOT soft reset your Hermes. Instead, long pressing the on/off button, and press Yes to turn the phone off. By doing that, Windows will save all changes in the registry before turning off. Good Luck!
i've noticed that my power and brightness settings revert to default settings over time without a soft reset. this is frustrating, as i have to check periodically and reset my preferences. has anyone else experienced this? also, i have an axim x51v (which i am looking to sell by the way) which gives me the option to automatically run at full brightness when on AC power. it doesn't appear that the wizard does this. I figured this was a function of WM5. Is there a hack to do this?
thanks!!
I've done the usual search and can't find anyone reporting this . . .
If I turn mt AT&T Pure off with the power button (not complete power down, just normal on/off) I notice a faint glow from the screen like it's still trying to show the backlight.
If I power up and then power down a second time, there is no glow.
This phone is running stock AT&T ROM, and it happens on battery power - so I'm concerned that it's draining the battery unnecessarily.
Battery settings -- "Auto adjust backlight" NOT checked
power save sliders around 30%.
Advanced tab -- "On battery power" - both boxes checked, 30 sec backlight off, 3 minutes turn off. "On external power" - neither box is checked
Any ideas?
Thanks
Try installing this cab, changes registry to auto lock with power button.
If it doesn't work, you may consider a lock screen such as smart lock.
Thanks for the post, but I don't understand what it does -- could you explain how the phone should behave after installing the CAB?
Thanks
Using this reg edit makes the device go into standby once you press the power button, no backlight staying on etc.
Includes the following reg edits.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"ACBrightness"=dword:0000000a
"ACTimeout"=dword:00000000

Thank you very much!
Hello I am just wondering if there is one way to disable original keylock and then install an other keylock as default. I Am even wondering if there is any hack to lock the external buttons in bottom. I guess it goes much battery power when having phone in pocket while display lighting.
