Hi!
I´d like to keep the backlight on during calls... At least when I´m in Handsfree...... Anyone any idea?
Regards and thank you,
Ingo
You may use XperiaTweak 2.
Just google for it.
Just bear in mind if you make a lot of calls its going to REALLY hit your battery life.
I turned it on using xperia tweak but then decided it was a bad idea and turned it back off as it was draining the battery and 99% of the time I didn't need to see the screen. Its no hardship to press the on button on the few occasions when I do need it.
Is there any way to turn off backlit while in call? That way you don't have to press power button and it won't drain a lot of battery. Don't know if that's even possible.

Hi guys...
I am as techy as the rest of yew, maybe more so, but I am having a problem understanding one thing about this phone. I know it is something very simple that I am missing, but I can't find anything about it anywhere in the docs, either?
How does the "auto power off" feature work? What I mean by this is, I know we can turn the power off after two minutes or whatever, but I see that the green GSM radio light is still flashing. That's good, that's what we want because we want to be able to receive calls.
The problem I am having is that after a time (I am guessing it is the two minutes?) I can't get the screen to come back on? What am I missing here? Is it me, or is it a bad phone? Auto power off seems to make the phone unuseable until a soft reset.
I tried pushing the power button, nothing. I tried HOLDING the power button, nothing. I tried pushing the TALK button, nothing.
Is the auto power off different than pushing the power button once and putting the device to sleep? What I want is the device to go to sleep after two minutes. I want to be able to use the phone again without doing a soft reset every time.
I know this is something easy, but I can't quite figure it out?

I've been having a similar issue with my 8125. I seem to also have a problem when I turn the device off. I've been trying to pinpoint the circumstances, but haven't had any luck as of yet.
Have you made any progress with this?
hold the power bottom for 3-5 seconds , there will apper a Yes/No dia.tap yes will real shut off. Not good at eng.But is it easy to understand ?
i had a similiar issue recently on a phone i had forever, turns out that i installed GPRS connection monitor that turned the backlight off on my phone... after hitting the power button to wake it up it appeared my screen was still off, so if i turned it at the right angle i could see my today screen.. meaning the backlight was off, i had to keep it at that angle and navigate into the setting menu to turn the backlight on.. i couldnt find a fix for it so i uninstalled the GPRS monitor and havent had the problem since
Am sure that i have seen this somewhere but i searched to no avail.
When making a call the screen will still turn off, which means if i want to do anything during the call i have to push the power button on the side of the device to turn it back on to hangup etc.
Any Ideas ??
I thought this was a good thing. The screen turns off in order to save the battery. If you want it back on you just tap the power button and do whatever you want to do. If it stayed on for entire phone calls you would end up with very short battery life.
However, there may be a registry edit that can lengthen this time or make it stay on for the entire call. I just wouldn't recommend it.
For me, hanging up works when the screen is off. I think.
thanks guys, i just came from the phone world and i suppose i want my PDA to have the same battery life as the old nokia, but i also want all the cool pda features.
Just not going to happen.

it does, just carry a couple of extra batteries and you're set. Now the question is would you trade this for that?
pressing the end call button works when the screen is off

Funny thing is i would carry the batteries. I got off ebay and ordered for my boss and myself car kit, batteries, and docking station with battery charger. So for the time that im not @ my desk or in the car we should be set.
Mine doesn't turn off during calls, but i do turn it off manually with the power button so my ear doesn't open apps during the call.
Mine doesnt turn off either, is this a rom specific or am i missing an option somewhere, at the moment i press the power button on the side when i make a call, cos im forever pressing the screen and opening stuff, then have to close it all when the call ends, let me know what im missing out on

I WANT my screen to turn off when phoning..
How do I set this up?
Hey,
I think this is the same "timeout" that you have set for your screen to turn off in the powersave feature. I haven't looked, but I think it only turns the backlight off, not the screen.
Unfortunately the hermes screen is hard to see AT ALL when the backlight is off. Some past devices I had, you could still READ during daylight.
HTH
ok i find it funny that nobody thinks that it is anoying as fk that the screen turns off if you are calling say to activate a card or any automated answering service and need to type numbers in you dont have access to it ..so I guess I will re ask the question is there a reg hack to make the screen stay on while in a call any help would be nice ty

i have this problem with my atom life. not like my previous xda IIi, phone button (answer and reject) could not work when atom life is turned off. in xda IIi, i could press answer phone button and it will automatically turn on the device and its phone's keypad. but it is not the case with atom life. is it normal? or my device has some problem? any way to fix it? tks for helping me
Hi,
No problem with my AtomLife. When my device is off in standby mode and incoming call automatic wake up my device.
i think you have misunderstood my question. mine also do not have problem when there is incoming call. what i mean is that we need to turn on the device first when we want to make phone call. in xda IIi, there is "button lock" in the setting where you can select whether you want to make any button on the device to turn on the device. i hope it is clear now. tks
IC,
XDAII have something like press any button to wakeup the device. I didn't see anything like this in Atom Life.
you're right. anyway to fix this? it's much more convinient when we can just press one button on the front face of the device (especially when you have your atom life in the leather case) to turn on the device rather than have to press the power button on the top of the device.
It is normal... Mine also like that... when turned off, you need to press on/off key to wake it up...
but i think this is a good idea to prevent the phone accidentally pressed while we put it inside a pocket or bag...
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
B
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
Good morning - or afternoon to all, depending on where you live. Just had a question on if there was a way to be able to tell how much battery I have from within a game. Maybe a rough estimate could be made possible by when in a fullscreen game, or even when the phone is locked and the screen is dark,if the battery level goes to 75%, then 3 of the 4 soft touch buttons would be lit up, and when it goes to 50%, only the menu and home button would be lit, and when the battery hits 25%, only the menu button would come on. Of course they wouldn't stay on, only for 2 minutes or so. Just long enough for you to notice it and make a note, so you don't have to unlock your phone, or stop what you are doing on the phone, to go back to the home screen to check your battery. Thanks for your time everybody and I appreciate any input negative or positive to this idea.
it is an interesting idea, and maybe possible, but i don't think it would be worth them amount of work and digging necessary. The reason i think it might not be possible is that i've never seen just one of the lights on on this phone, ever. I know one will blink off when you touch it, but they're all lit...
