Maybe I missed the fix under the Wiki section or maybe nobody has complained, but I want the screen brightness to resume the level that I set it at, after a soft reset.
Can anybody help with a registry tweak or an idea? Thanks

I am on a trip and had my Universal stuck at startup and had to hardreset. Restored everything with SPB backup and all is working great besides the backlight. Whatever interval I put it just goes back to 10 seconds.
Can anybody tell me which is the setting in registry to try to fix it in that way?
Using latest iMate rom...
Thnx
Yup same thing with me, backlight switches off after a few seconds no matter what the settings. Wonder what is going on? Any solution? Thanks.
Cheers.
Is it possible that I am asking impossible? Pls, can some1 help with this?
Pls!
You can find the registry key to change the backlight duration here in the WiKi: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
I use PHM Registry Editor. Make sure after changing the registry, leave your device ON for a minute then perform the soft reset for the change to take effect.
I hate doing this, but I have searched fruitlessly for the registry setting that stops the Wiza going into auto lock when it is docked.
Although this has been posted before, I can't find the thread, can someone help?
Forgive me if this has been discussed before. I searched the forum, but didn't find an answer.
I dim my backlight to level 3 in order to extend battery life. Whenever I have to softreset (which, alas, happens not too rarely), the backlight is back to level 6. Is there a way to permanently set the default value to a different level? I guess this should be feasible by changing some registry values. I tried changing HCKU\ControlPanel\BackLight\DefaultBrightness, but to no avail: Nothing seemed to change after a softreset.
Thanks for your help (BTW this is an outstanding, very helpful forum thanks to many skilled posters!),

Hello,
How to lock also the Hardwarebuttons with the Default Sliderlock.
I don't want to use a other Sreenlock Program.
I just like to lock the Buttons also when the Screen is loecked.
any Solutions?
Thanks
Are the buttons active at all? During screen lock, I guess only the endcall button is active, waking up your phone.
alex fung ,
you are wrong.
All hard ware buttons except vol buttons can walk the phone/ turn on the screen.
ah you are right. They wake up the screen, but the touch panel is still locked. Try TouchLockPro.
any simple solution please, touch lock pro is soo confusing...
and is there is some solution to lock phone on backlight off, i mean dim is activated not locking when the screen goes off
tnx in advance
Hope this helps
To lock the hardware buttons with the phone in lock mode try modifing the registry.( it is simple but do this at you own risk)
Install a free registry explorer like PHM RegitEdit im sure you will find here it on this site (regedit.Mrln_ARM.cab ) Donate if you like
When installed open and navigate to: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER",Then "ControlPanel",Then highlight "Keybd".
Change "DefaultKeyLock" value data to "1"
Aslo if you feel brave: HKEY_CURRENT_USER-ControlPanel-Backlight.
Change "AutoDeviceLockEnable" value data to "1"
This should activate the lock screen when the screen dims.
Good Luck
NB: You will need to soft reset for the settings to work!

...that part is not mworking on my HTC LEO withh updated offical ROM WWE.
I changed the registry , restarted and still the screen dims but noit locking ..after siome seconds screen goes off. my idea was to have screen locked on dim and stays like this for about 30-40 secs and then to go off.
any suggestion pls.
tnx in advance
HKCU->Control->Keyboard->DefaultKeyLock=1
and
HKCU->ControlPanel->Backlight->AutoDeviceLockEnable=1
is all i need.
It works like i would like to have it.
Thank you.
Touch lock pro is a realy nice program and i appreciate his work, but to me it has to many features.
I've been after this answer for a little while now, and was pleased to find this thread. But... when I looked at my registry settings they were already as you suggest, but all of the buttons along the bottom of the phone still wake it up. Is there another step that I don't know about? (I have tried soft-reset).
I'm running SPB Mobile Shell - perhaps that's getting in the way?
I'll keep looking for a solution and post here is I find anything.
Anyone else have any more ideas?
Thats a shame it wont work for you,It may be spb mobile shell, Rom related or an old locking program you had installed.
Shot in the dark but have you tried changing the values back, soft reseting and then changing them forward again and soft reseting?
registry not working on my HTC LEO too..
dang.. registry doesn't work on my Leo too..
any other way to solve this??
Try soft reseting.
only open your registry editor and make changes then ,wait for 2-3 minutes ( wont matter if your device goes off )
(If off wake device up)Then soft reset again.
otherwise use a different reg editor or flash another rom.
N.B or just use this, it is small and cool:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032
any recommended reg editor??
I never have a problem with PHM but resco is good.

Remember you will need to wait some time before windows stores the new settings properly. Soft reseting straight away probabley wont work.
Ok I was using spbTV and all of a sudden the screen got darker and every since then i haven't been able to brighten it.
It's only a problem when im plugged in.
I try to goto brightness on the backlight settings but power supply brightness isn't there, i can only adjust battery brightness.
I've already soft reset, removed SpbTv and still have the issue.
backup you contacts and whatnot then perform a hard reset
Same problem

Looks like this app is breaking our HD2s. SPB is a great company, I'm sure they will try and work out a fix if you let them know what happened.
Is this happening to anyone else using a different app?

I had the same thing happen to me. I had to do a factory reset. I could not find any way of bringing it back from that. I guess the guys at SPB didnt test it out on the HD2. They should be fixing it soon. I wondered if I was running spb mobile shell if it would have done the same!!?
i had the same problem i figured out how to fix it!
go to the registry
hkey current user
controlpanel
backlight
change acbrightness to 10
and
brightness to 10
save and exit
its fixed
now you have your sliders back
enjoy!
Thanks for that info radiohead7778580, it worked perfectly.
BIOYAM.
Thanks!!
I knew it was something in the registry but I'm far from an expert so I didnt want to go poking around in there. You saved me a reset. Thanks again
no problem glad i can help
All praise to you my friend! I had the same issue using SPB shell. Fixed perfectly! Thankss a million.
For those who do not want to mess with the Registry, I've added the Registry Settings into an easy to install CAB file. Just install to main memory and your Brightness sliders will be returned.
This sets your brightness to FULL (10) on both battery and AC power, so be sure to go in and adjust accordingly for your preferences.
