Hey, i have a navigation software installed on my phone, but after max 5 minutes my display automatically turns off. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
I've read that i have to set "Backlight always on" somewhere. But if i goto the Energy option then i dont see any option like that anywhere...
I also have Advanced Config Tool installed but couldn't find an option for this on that program either.
So can you guys pls tell me where i can find this option...?

Hi,
Anyone know how to create a script that sets the backlight to always on, and the sleep option to not to sleep?
I need this because I, as many of you, have a bluetooth gps. Everytime I want to use it I need to go to settings and manually set these settings in order to have the screen always on so I can see the maps while I'm driving.
Many thanks
Chris

why don't you just change the setting in Advanced Config so that whenever the screen is switched off, the phone automatically locks?
Search.
For example great sensorlock

Dan168, mate can you explain how to do this? i cant seem to figure it out?? sorry for my stupidity
found it
You may try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425650
This software works very good and only disable the touch screen when there is call so that the call will not accidentally missed. Just what phone lock works. By the way, HTC dialer will automatically disable the built in phone lock when there comes a new call.

This is actually related more to windows than Diamond. Open Settings, then System and Power. Last tab is Wi-Fi. Uncheck "Enable Wi-Fi power-saving mode", comfirm settings and that's it.

Not on my diamond its not lol
In settings i have to go to all settings, system then power. but when in power the last tab isnt wifi, its Advanced.
In advanced all thats there is settings for the backlight and to turn the device off if not used for X time.
Anyone got an answer to this?
The first 2 responses make no sense to a newbie like me so if anyone can explain it would be appreciated.
Cheers,
John.
Download and copy this .cab file to your diamond, and install it on your phone.
http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool/downloads.html
After install, run the Advanced Config Tool.
Go to Menu -> More Settings -> Connections and Enable Wifi on stanby mode.
I think that will work
thanks
this does the trick

thanks mate!
i know its a little late but there is a way to fix this with out using Advanced Config Tool,
open the Comm Manager (settings->connections) and in the Comm manager enable your Wi-Fi, then in the bottem right hit Settings->Wireless LAN->Power Mode and slide the slider over to Best Performance, now when the screen goes it from what i can tell it still turns the Wi-Fi off to save power but when u turn the screen back on it reenables the Wi-Fi and trys to connect to the last network it was on, i maybe wrong on it turning it off tho
Hello,
i have a problem with applications running on my topaz.
They all run fine on Windows Mobile 6.1 (Pro),
but if i press the On/Off button on the top of the device to switch off the display or if it automatically switches off
the running applications only run in background minimized when turning the display on again.
they all run in background and i see the TF3D Interface in front.
Is it possible to switch off this "bug" with a registry key or do you know any solution for this problem..
Would be very nice if you help me with this problem.. wondering that appearantly nobody else had this problem before..
i used the search function of this forum .. and google.. cant find anything.. maybe searched the wrong keywords..
PS.: Sorry for my bad English.. Hope you could understand me xD
please help.. its a hard problem ..
?
so ... basically ... you want to automatically close all apps from background when the phone goes in stand-by mode?
As I understand it he's saying that when he presses the power button to go into standby, and then presses it again to put the screen back on, the unit is always back at the TF3D main screen, rather than on the app he was previously using. Mine certainly stays on the same app. I suspect it's something to do with the auto lock settings.
thank you for your answers
@ georgeono:
no i want to prevent them being minimized.. after the standby mode..
at first they all run in front of tf3d..
then.. -standby mode- is activated
[the screen is black]
i reactivate the phone..
-> all running applications run minimized (in background) behind TF3d and i have to choose them at first in the task manager to get them to front again..
but i want that they arent minimized when i reactivate the phone..
nobody has this problem too ?
please post a solution
Did you apply any tweaks? registry changes? or is this happening on a cooked rom? which applications did you install before this happend? I doubt this happened "on it's own"
no i dont use any tweaks ..
just the blank device with vodafone branding ..
i think its a windows mobile behaviour.. because i have the good old htc artemis with windows mobile 6 and it has the same problem too..
..
thanks for your answer
The same happens with 6.1 & 6.5 ROM's. It is normal behavior...
I hate it because it continues to use RAM, but it's "normal" WM behavior.
There is likely a registry edit to auto close programs, but that wouldn't help you.

normal behaviour? I don't get that on my Topaz (stock ROM 6.1 unbranded) - Returning from suspend the program I ran last is still in the foreground...
Ok, here's what I would check:
Download FDCSofts Taskmanager http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
Install and start, píck "notifications" from the drop down list on the upper right.
Check if one of the entries is a "CNT_EVENT" set to the event "The device woke up". If there is one try disabling it (don't delete yet!). Disable with the 6th button from the left on the lower bar of FDCSofts Taskmanager.
Do not mess around there! Disable at most, don't delete if you don't really know what you're doing.

I double checked again to make sure.... Still does it and always has.
I am using udK R6 now and it is the same.....
No biggie though. I always close everything down in task manager anyway.
Thank you for your answers .. its such a nice xda forum.. very good xD
To the problem.. :
i think its a windows mobile behaviour too.. but if so, it shouldn't be a problem ..
anybody knows the registry tweak to solve this problem ?
@andy_2307
I think i found the solution to the problem...
Just after i posted the same problem in another thread here on xda-developers, i got the idea to change on thing just for trying.
let me guess: you have a (numeric) device lock activated, so that you can lock your device with a "PIN" (separate from your SIM-card PIN)?
Even if you set the time to - let's say - 24 hours, so that the lock does not activate itself, but only when you lock your device manually by pressing the end-call-button for some seconds; this setting (having the numeric-lock activated) causes the issues.
I just deactivated the lock, so that long-pressing the end-call-button just locks the screen and does not force you to enter the device-PIN - and now the device won't go to the homescreen after waking up from standby.
This would explain why not everybody has experienced this - many people do not lock their devices with a separate PIN, and as such don't see this issue.
Only problem now is - for Security Reasons i want to have my device locked in a way, that someone else can not access it (even via activesync) if i lose my device or if it is stolen. without the default windows-mobile locking function, how is this achieveable?
annoyance A or annoyance B

Just tried messing around with this on my touch pro 2. Hitting the suspend button manually and then reactivating returns to the home screen.
Just found that if I set the "Prompt if device unused for" value to "0 Minutes" it stops returning to the home screen, but now I have to type the security code every time it suspends. I guess it depends on what you find more annoying.
It looks like, for me at least, if I am presented with a security input panel, it doesn't return to the home screen on resume. Seems related to the security lock feature, but not necessarily a bug with the lock itself.
Hi guys, I use screen rotator ever since I started using android, but now I was trying to find the service or program that handles the task switch after you long press the home key so I could use the task switcher in the horizontal mode and I could not find any thing related to it, do any of you android experts now this answer?
Cheers
My screen auto-rotates in the task switcher, I haven't changed any settings on it. I just have the "screen rotation" turned on.
Is auto-rotating working everywhere else?

Hi, thanks for the reply, I always have auto rotate switched off, I just want a few apps to auto rotate like Gallery and Gmail, if I turn it on everything works fine, however I want to limit the apps that auto rotate thats why I use Smart Rotator, but I wanted to allow the stock "task switcher" to have the same behaviour... I´ve searched online a lot and still could not find which service or program handles this...

Sorry, I missunderstood you earlier. I looked into it a little too, but couldn't find the option to enable the "task switcher" either. Have you tried the app Tasker? You might be able to set up a profile to auto rotate when "task switcher" is open. I haven't tried it personally, so I don't know how much hassle it is, or if it'll even work.
