hi, how can i delay the time before the screen dims?
start --> settings --> system --> power --> advanced
advanced only changws the turn off delay right? i dont mean turn off.. i mean when the x1 dims the screen after a few seconds..
thats the "turn off backlight if device is not used for" option i think
"turn off device if not used" for will turn off the screen
i found many registry values pertaining to screen brightness, thresholds, delays, etc. go look around in the registry.
If the screen is dimming within seconds you have auto adjust on
Settings -> System -> Battery -> Backlight -> Untick "Auto adjust backlight"

Hi - does anyone know how to completely stop the HD dimming? I've tried altering the settings in HD Tweak and Advanced config but it still dims if not used for 10 secs - am I missing something? Thanks in advance...
Further to this it seems I may have changed something which means after about 2 seconds my phone returns to the home page - is there a setting to prevent this as well?
Start > Settings > Power > Advanced. Thats where all the backlight settings are unless you are using a third party such as Lumos.
You can set it to stay on constant by removing the tick, youll see what I mean.
Ok have sorted this. I had unchecked all boxes in Start > Settings > Power > Advanced settings but this actually makes the phone dim and bumps you back to the Home page after 10 seconds which is really annoying when you are trying to write a text/surf the web/do anything on the phone!
So setting the backlight to timeout after 5 mins actually stops this and keeps the backlight lit until you press the power button to lock and turn off the backlight - you learn something new everyday!
Hi
I have search all forums but not finding any answear.
I have S2U2 installed.
And all worked fine until today when my backlight didn't turn off (set backrounflight to 30 sec), neither did the phone turn off (set turn off to 1 min).
I have set the parameters in settings->power
Also in S2U2.
But the backlight just dimmer, not turn off, and the phone do not either turn off.
Can anybody help me??
Please!
taht usually happens when your connected via active sync, it will just dimmer, but u can change, goto settings > system > power > backlight and tick it off if you dont it to dimmer. hope that helps
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"
Topic says it all.
Can the screen be disabled while the phone is playing when connected via TV-OUT. I tried the lights option and it locks the phone.
install AlenSoft QuickMenu and use the QuickMenu > Screen > Close
and it should blank the screen...
I found out last night that you can BUT you need to disable Lock Screen under Settings -> Display and Light.
Then, under General Settings -> TV Out, set Turn off backlight to whatever time you want.

go to settings > display > brightness (or something like that, i don't use sense anymore) and make sure "automatic brightness" isn't checked, that gives me issues no matter what of the dozen plus roms i've tried.

Most likely a glitch in the "auto brightness" setting. Disable, try again.
