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!

First I apologise if this has been asked before but I have tried to look for it on here.
Is there some sort of registry entry that will turn on the back light permanently?
Backlight applet in COntrol Panel, uncheck "Turn off backlightif device is not used for..."?
I have tried this but it reverts back to "Turn off" on a soft reset which is regular occurrence as I use sprite backup.
I found this thread http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=1220.0 but it doesn't seem to make any difference?
So it seems to be a manual switch each time the device is reset!
Whe I switch on my phone by pressing the top-right button, the phone is locked and the backlight is on. After 6 sec the backlight turns off.
When I unlock my phone, the backlight stays off
I would expect that the backlight gets on when you unlock... but it isn't.
Now I have to press the top-right button twice (to turn off and back on) and unlock within 6 seconds to get the backlight on.
This is very annoying.
Is there a way to get the backlight on after unlocking?
I have no solution - but can confirm that this happens to my phone too.
Hi,
Same problem here Found it very annoying so I just disabled the Backlight shut-off function alltogether

This seems to only happen if you use some kind of tweak that adjusts the auto-lock function. I used to use HD Tweak and changed the value for some auto-lock thingy (can't remember what it was).
After I hard-reseted it seems to have gone back to normal. So I would avoid any setting that changes the auto-lock thingy.
Note that uninstalling HD Tweak did not restore the correct functionality. Probably because I did not undo the changes prior to uninstalling.
So maybe you can try to change back the value first and see if it helps.
Good luck, I found that bug very annoying and decided I could live with no auto-lock.
Hi Saros,
Thanks for the input

I use HD Tweak aswell and had a feeling the Backlight Issue only occurred after enabling the Auto-Lock feature, thanks for confirming my suspicions. I DID however turn the feature back OFF in HD Tweak. Unfortunately that did NOT solve the problem
Don't feel much for a Hard-Reset at this point since it took me quite a while to get my new phone set-up correctly. Hopefully a fix will be available, I'll go browse through the HD Tweak topic to see if anything gives yet...

Rolf,
Disabeling the Backlight shut-off function is a good tip. Thanks.
But I still hope there will be a fix for this problem soon... so we don't use to much battery capacity.

I had this problem when i changed some registry keys. The following must be:
HKEY_CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Backlight\[AutoDeviceLockEnable set to 0]
HKEY_CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel\[LockLevel set to 0]
marpam,
When I set the first regkey back to 0, the autolock doesn't work anymore.
When I manually lock the device by press and hold the down-right button (stop call), the problem still exist when you unlock.
I want to keep the autolock function, but with backlight back on when I unlock the device.

I had this same problem. I did a hard reset and again set auto lock in tweak then shut off backlight off and the problem is gone and now auto lock is fine.
You can also use Lumos - solved the issue for me

My touch HD has just started an annoying habit - when it is on external power, the screen dims to about half-brightness in about 5 seconds. This is extremely annoying in the car cradle as it is very hard to read.
I cant find anywhere in settings or Advanced Config to change this.
Is there somewhere i can change this? a reg key?
cheers
settings > system > Power > backlight > uncheck auto adjust andf settings for external power should show up.
thx bigf00t - i tried that before, but it only changes the actual brightness of the screen while it is on power and in use. After I adjust that it then dims again after 5 seconds no matter what the setting.
You may try settings -> systems -> Power -> Advance, you should able to find what you need there.
ok - that was definitely it.
"Turn off backlight if device not used for" was set to 1 minute. I changed it to 2mins then back to 1 minute and it actually stayed bright for 1 minute instead of 5 seconds!
Nice to know that "turn off backlight" actually means "dim backlight"
Anybody knows the new registry setting to make the screen NOT turn black during a call?
On my X1 it was fast dormant setting but this is not there in the X2.
the registry key is HKLM\Services\MultiService\mods\Proximity\ SmartProximityHW
value is 1 for turning off display and 0 for leaving on.
Thank you!
Did try but does not work. It still turns the screen dark while on the phone during a call. Very annoying!
Perhaps you or somebody knows How to Wake the Device with ANY button press. Again was selectable with X1 but here its now (perhaps because no soft buttons?) but there must be also a reg setting.... hopefully.
For anybody that is annoyed by this black screen too........ I found the setting to at least delay this blacking out for a loooooong time if so desired:
under: HKLM\Services\MultiService\mods\InCallPwr ... set to 5000 or 50000 as I did. It is probably seconds before it turns dark. Setting was 5 (!) and it turned off in 5 seconds!
There are 2 settings, FirstTimeOut and Second. I changed the First! And later the second.... just because!
The main setting with InCallPwr setting 2, cannot be changed. I cannot delete it. This key will be recreated after restart. If somebody knows HOW to delete / disable this key, then we don't need to change the delay time
I set my Backlight setings "Turn off backlight if phone is not used for 1 min "
The problem is: after few time the settings "1min" i going change to "30sec".... every time
"Turn off backlight if phone is not used for 30 seconds"
how to change my registry or anything else
Thank you!
