ok, I am aware of the power and backlight adjustments on the Universal, and I have the power set to turn off after 2 minutes to preserve battery.
What I am looking for is some software so that I can put an icon in Pocket Plus on the Today screen so that I can toggle Power always on, and turn off after 2 minutes. Reason for this is that I often have to watch screen prices that constantly update and am getting fed up of switching by going into start, settings, power, advanced blah blah....
Anybody know of any software that can toggle this setting and/or backlight setting?
I have a XDA Neo and the battery life is not really the best, so I keep in standby (hit the side button so the back light and LCD is turned off). But the only way to get the LCD back on is to hit the power button. Is there a way to get the LCD to come back on along with the back light by just tapping the screen?
You can off just the screen rather than put the phone in standby mode. You can use psShutxp or other program (aplenty) to do it.
But this drain battery. Alternatively, unlock all you button so that you can power up your ppc by any hardware button press. That's what I do. To protect against accident power up, I install S2U2 so that a slide on the screen is required to unlock, else it will go back to sleep mode in x min.

How would I do that? What will it shut off?

I only have a Hermes and not familiar with your device but if it running Windows Mobile 6 then you probably can just turn off backlight but prevent phone from going into standby mode.
Start -> Setting -> Backlight
In there you can adjust the setting and timer for the backlight
Start -> Setting -> Power
In there you can adjust the setting for standby or disable standby mode.
Disabling the standby but keeping the backlight on timer should turn off the backlight but the LCD screen will stil be active and will wake on the touch.
One negtive thing about touch screen LCD that is putting it in your pocket may keep repeatly turning the backlight back on and drain your battery quickly without you being aware of it.

I do have a option to turn off the back light only and not put the phone into standby. But my LCD stays on(without the light) which sucks down the battery life.
I tried out sShutxp, but it only turns off the phone and has no option to turn it back on.
Well, I got the next best thing. I assigned the #1 button to Display Switch. So it turns the display on and off.
my htc mega seems to have problem to automatically turn off backlight and lock. i have set the backlight setting to turn off backlight if device is not used for 10 sec & turn off the device if not used fot 1 min. it just not working after i installed some application.
please advise.
I set my Backlight setings "Turn off backlight if phone is not used for 1 min "
The problem is when i charge my phone the 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!
i have that stupid thing too.
then i use phonewaever to change it - force the system to 2min turn backlight off.
I have owned many Android devices over the years. Every one except my Nexus 7 would dim a few seconds or so before completely turning off the display. However, my N7 just turns off when the screen timeout timer expires. Every time it turns off, you have to use the power button to turn it on. I much prefer the behavior of my other devices when it comes to the screen timeout. Is there a way to get the N7 to dim for a few seconds before going off completely like my other devices do?
