If have a general problem ... I do like to keep the backlight on for an infinite time (Navigation application).
When I go to "Setting" -> "System" ... -> "Battery and Backlight" -> "Backlight" - "On External Power" or "On External Power" disable everything and "Turn off Device" the device switch off the screen independently of these settings after 60 seconds.
1) How I can keep the backlight and device running "for ever" without automatically switching off?
2) In case of Dim, which button can be used to re-activate the device and keeping the current application – not switch to another application like HTC Sense…
Help please – where I can change the Backlight parameters successfully – patch, registry-hack etc appreciated – thanks.
Problem solved:
The registry key HKCU\ControlPanel\Power\Display 60 was set by an legacy application.
Remove registry key Display solves the problem.

All - I'm not sure if my 8125 was like this before but the dpad does not auto repeat. I can't just hold the button down to continuosly move the cursor left. Same thing with the keyboard. Is this normal?
Registry setting not available in the input control panel
It appears that some program had set my registry repeat setting control_panel->kbd to 0. The control panel application "Input" does not have an option for setting this for SIP and my system tab does not have a keyboard application for setting this feature.
I'm not using the auto backlight option anymore, so I disabled it and enabled the backlight slider with a registry trick:
HKLM:\Software\Power\EnableAutoHideBacklightSlider
(change Dword to 0)
All I want now is to assign a button to toggle the screen manually to a brighter level. In another forum I found an app:

Can somebody confirm it works with the Touch HD?
I didn't enable the slider, but I set the LSK to call Power.exe, which will bring up the Power page so that I can adjust backlight, turn on/off auto backlight easily.

I solved this by installing aebutton v2.6.6
Thanks for your advise anyway.
Rather than the little speaker at the top, is there a plugin for the today screen to just tap "ringer on / vibrate / ringer off" ?
I know there is one in the HTC Home plugin, but that takes up a large amount of space on the today screen, and would rather not have that showing.
Thanks for the help.
If you goto Settings > System > End Key, you can set it to Vibrate/Ringer On. It's a handy feature, don't know if it'll be exactly what you want though.
Does anyone know if an app exists that you turn on the backlight, and it will stay on until you turn it off?
If you go to settings ->System Tab ->Power ->Advanced Tab you will find "on battery power" and "on external power", both have timeouts ... if you uncheck them.. then the backlight will not go off unless you press the power button....hope this helps.......
Thanks, that did the trick. That was too easy.

Hello,
inside my app, I need a way to turn off the lights on the standard android phone keys (home, menu, back, search) - how can I do this programmatically? (I don't need the instructions saying go to settings and set lower sleep time, I need to do this with Java)
Thank you
