Change the keyboard backlight duration
To change the duration of the keyboard backlight, you can set (example is 30 seconds):
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout = 30 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that this may not work on some devices. One such notable exception is the HTC Wizard.

Best...thanks.
Now, the second question.....and most usefull for me.
Can we keep the keyboard light on all the time when the device is under charging?
This could be perfect for inCar use while charging.

Nothing ???.. :?

I'm looking for this answer since long time... and, even if I didn't find the answer, I'm glad I found somebody having my same question (even if some months ago)! ... better than nothing ...it's a start.
So anyone knows how to keep the keyboard light always on when device is on charge?

i wish you could change the color
for colorblind (red/green blind) people RED is useless.
PLEASE STOP USING RED FOR ANYTHING!
thanks!

:shock: I don't know if you mean the red on the flag, the red of vodafone logo or the red of the keyboard... but I will change all of them if you find the answer! :lol:

I changed it to 65535 and the registry editor seemed to accept it, I make that about 18 hours before it times out, nice thing is it still goes out and stays out if you power down, but it goes out and comes back on if you close.
Regards

I've written an app to give independant control of the keyboard lights (and red/green keys), manual on, manual off.
However, gooroo's solution sounds like a better workaround.

Still looking for a solution for this one too.
I don't think I can use the change timeout to 65000, because my device doesn't autoswitchoff (disabled that) because the BT keeps f*cking up.
So after 30 sec my backlight just turns off, the device keeps on. Setting the keyboard timeout to 65000 would kill my battery cause it will always be on.

Viper, so what do you propose? You don't want to extend timeout?

I've always had set it to 30/60 seconds.
I think the problem is that wm5 doesn't support keyboard backlight like the normal backlight (which has settings for battery/AC)
just trying 65000sec and see if that works a bit. But I have to see if it doesn't drain the battery and all.

-update-
Ok this option works perfect for me.
And yes changing the value to 65000 will let your keyboard light be on permanently (practicaly then)
But your keyboard light auto-switches off when your Backlight does.
So in the car it's on power, so this will keep the backlight on full brightness + always keyboard lights
on battery the backlight goes out after 30 sec and so will the keyboard. But when i touch the screen both will jump on.

Is there a way to keep the light of the keyboard a bit longer in HTC Artemis/P3300?
Thanks

screenoff delay

hello, is it possible to change the maximum delay before screen is off (now 5 minutes max, i would like to have 1 or 2 hour before screen is off)
thank you

i don't know of a way to change the screen off delay, but there are programs you can run to keep the display on, and then stop the program to resume normal screen off.
i don't know where though ( i don't use and don't remember ) try vijay555 or stayalive

ok thanks,

lock + standby in one go?

Hi all,
I was wondering if it's possible to lock the device and put the phone in standby in one go?
Often when you lock your phone you don't need it anymore and putting it in standby immediatly might save some precious battery juice...
Cheers

or for example when in standby, when receiving a message .. the phone wakes it self up .. if you have to leave it in yur pocket, it means that you can touch the touch screen unwillingly.
So yes, I want to be able to lock my phone and put in into standy mode at the same time ;D

Hi twolf,
that thread has 32 pages, can you point me a bit closer to the standby thing? Thx!
cheers

just th first, its a software...
:/

quite aware of that but I don't want to alter my slider behaviour... maybe I'll send a message to the creator of the soft to see how he has added this functionality to his app.
cheers

Why not use key lock that's on the device already - put it into to standby and it locks the keys but wakes up on calls & messages.
Start - Setteings - Key Lock - Lock allbuttons except Power Button

well.. the normal keylock doesn't switch the mobile into standby, you need to wait a while before the auto-standby kicks in... and I really don't find the standby button convenient to press

I have the same problem
Another solution?
My standby buton don´t work

Use Slide2Unlock, you can tell it to lock the phone when it goes to standby

Thanks, but, the Slide2Unlock don´t power on my PDA.
the Standby botton, is the power on/off.
best regards

Screen going black when calling

On the Blackstone, when calling, the phone keypad screen is disappearing relatively quickly replaced by black screen once you get connected and if you need to dial later some additional codes on the keypad you have to activate the screen pushing the upper on off button....
How is it possible to play with this delay in view to keep the phone keypad visible much longer ?
Thx for any clues

Did you try messing around the the advanced Config software cause if memory serves me right it's actually a feature which you can disable....
Hope it helps

you could try these any of these two options below, if you want...
1.. HD TWEAK appl. and config....
option 1 and set option 1.1 and 1.2 accordingly...

.. plse,read thread
2 TOUCH IN CALL SCREEN TWEAK.appl..( according to me, better option ).which allows your screen to turn on ,if you lower phone from ear position ,and turn off screen if you bring phone up to ear postion(saves battery power)

How to STOP black screen during a call?

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
