Increasing Keyboard Backlight Time

For Windows Mobile 6
With registry Editor find the following Key:
Code:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"KeyLightTimeout"
Standard: 5 (pretty annoying!)
Recommended: 15
Greetings & Have fun
Tested with O² XDA Terra WM6

Thanks xsign,

well its just registry tweaking...

Hmm.. I looked but didn't see the key so I created it. It doesn't make any difference though. I'm running WM5.
Any ideas?

My T-Mobile Wing also is showing a KeyLightTimeout of DEC 30 Value, with a 5 second time out. Changed the DEC Value for KeyLightTimeout to 90 and I am now getting 30 second timeout.

You have to use one of the free Registry Editor. You can find some if you use the forum's search function.
There is no build in registry editor in WM6.

WM6 Registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
KeyLightTimeout
Stock Double Word is 30 =5 Seconds
Change Double Word to 90 = 15 Seconds

I recently fixed one 4350(replaced LCD)..
however there is no keyboard backlight..
can somebody explain how this backlight works?
are each button lighted?
moved to a own thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1883948#post1883948

Old thread but some1 might get hits on it.
My PDA phone (HTC p3300) with wm6 has a different key name for the same values due to (i suppose) the option to have different backlight for AC power and battery power. So you do want to change the timeout, only u get to do it twice
HK_CURRENT_USER\BackLight\BatteryTimeout
and
HK_CURRENT_USER\BackLight\ACTimeout
-value is in actual seconds-
____________________________________________________________
I myst be tired. Didnt read the thread properly,This belongs in another thread i belive since my tweak is about display backlight. There isnt so many hits on the subject so ill just leave it as it is for some1 to find. Cheers
Thanx for a great forum. cheers

Save Battery Using These Regisrty Hacks

I Used These Hacks Wen I Had My Dash Im Using It ON THe Shadow And I Have Great Results ps I Take No Responsibility For Any damage And I Did Not Make These I Found Them
1. HKLM\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
2. HKLMComm\Irsir1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0 i cant seem to find this on my dash or shadow
3. HKLM\Comm\PPTP1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
4. HKLM\Comm\L2TP1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0
TIP 3
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Cl ass\SDMemory_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement" = dword : 00000000

Sir Charles!!
I applied these yesterday and I believ you have something....but I wonder if it's catchy. LOL
I left my connections on all night (BT/wifi), talked for 90 minutes to my friends and family, listened to music on pocket player for an hour and a half and now, 24 hours later I still have 50% battery.
I usually don't activate my connections until I use them and typically don't call too many people on this phone (I have a sucky corporate phone), but it seems all this added activity has not had anywhere near the impact I normally would expect.
I'll spread the word and see if more folks won't give this a try on their Shadows.
Meanwhile....Thanks!!

So far I haven't found any, the fix is noticeable on saving battery life though.

Yes There Are No Side Effects And THanks 4 Making A Cab For Users Who Dont Wanna Mess With The Registry And Making It On Users Who DOnt Mind

Alright, I just did these edits with a fully charged battery and rebooted.
Let's see how long my phone lasts.

I doubt it.. the universal runs on pocketpc and this cab was designed for smartphone windows os.

Well I have installed already and testing, post results later
Thanks,

I downloaded the .cab and attempted to install. The install was unsuccessful- anyone know why that might be? Could my registry be locked? I am using WM6.1_V1b_by_Erofich.

So, no feedback yet ?

What kind of feedback are you looking for? I use it, I recommend it. This should be the first thing you install on your shadow.

Hmm ok, so does it work for diamond ?

Um, no... that's why it's posted in the Shadow/Juno forum and not the Diamond forum.

Actually, all of the registry keys are present in both the touchscreen and non-touchscreen editions of WM 6.1.
So the CAB installer may not work, but the actual registry fix should.
I am trying this on my Wizard and will edit later to post how it works out.
#edit to add#
Works great on both my Wizard and my Juno.
I think that these should work for any WM 6.x build.

Ok thank's, i will try these settings !

I'm feeling bored, so i'll go in to what these keys do.
Basically all of these are power management keys, which allows the phone to turn devices/connections off when not in use.
If you want, you can take my word for it, otherwise you can use the links.
AsyncMac is The NDISWAN implementation in Windows Embedded CE
IrSIR = Infrared Serial Driver
PPTP and L2TP are VPN protocols.

[APP][DEL] AutoAlign Screen v1.0

app deleted because it was messed up!!!

gr8 app man, this will save we me some time
thanks

what kind of calibration needed in the diamond??

the screen alignment is done automaticaly by this app... so you dont have to do it manualy

I checked the registry to compare the defaults in the CAB with what I already had.
The CAB had
485,500 785,175 785,825 185,820 188,175
my TP has
485,514 785,835 785,200 193,200 193,835
Now how perfect mine are, I don't know, but I tried to be as perfect as possible. Even tried multiple times until I was happy I hit the center of the cross 5 times in a row.

I installed the .CAB on my Diamond and it inverted the screen taps; everything on the screen appears fine but the tap responses were inverted, I think its a glitch...Just reporting, hope it gets fixed.

I'm not getting how this works... I mean, copied on my Diamond, installed (tried both in Internal Storage and Phone Memory), I get a setup icon in the program menu which, tapped, leads me to another autoalign installation, and so on. Cycle.
What am I missing? Any help? Would really like to try this software and see if it improves my touch experience (not a reference to some mythical UI for WM... ).

Try aligning your screen by hand and mess it up on purpose. Then try it with autoalign and see the difference.
P.S TouchXperience IS NOT some mythical UI! Just watch. It'll be released on Feb 1st.

Didn't really mean to upset anyone! It's just that I'm reading about its features since the beginning of my WM life (Sept. 08) and I'm trying it as soon as it is released to the public. Looks very promising and interesting!

Good idea, will give it a try
Thanks for sharing

This app is just brilliant! Timesaving and incredibly useful, now finger touch is at a new level! Thank you so much, that should be included in any Diamond ROM!

sorry for my supid question, but whats exactly the sense of this app? and why does it save time and give new experiences?

What's wrong with the built in screen alignment? Seems to work okay, what makes this different??

the app is still not final!!! im workin on it as a write this !!!

Odd RegKeys..

There's quite a few reg keys in the leo that I've not come across before, nor can find any reference to anywhere..
So I thought I'd start a list..
if you have any thoughts as to what they do or could do then pipe up !
(please don't post ones that you can find the answer too by searching, that's no fun)
1st up:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Touchman Enable = 0
setting it to 1 or above doesn't seem to do anything, except it's reset to 0 after soft reset.

Touchscreen manual that you see after first boot?

mm you mean the IME tutorial ?
wouldn't that be part of the oobe though?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\htcOOBE\Units\13
CmdLine \Windows\IMETutorial.swf

Yes but this could be a value that would just indicate that it needs to launch. Anyway, that was just a guess.

lol yeah I thought it maybe..
wish Htc would let on sometimes what some of these do, I reckon there's the odd Dev or two sitting there sniggering about all the fake keys they put into the registry.

Yes, proper documentation would be nice indeed, and not just in HTC's case.

Most of them seem to have a reason... I wouldn't worry about a few stray keys here and there, they're not going to be a huge slowdown...

[Q] Problem flipped screen

Hello,
I just got my LG optimus 7 but I encountered my first problem immediately.
When the screen flips to the horizontal position it does not come back to straight position when i hold my phone in that position. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Many thanks!

Possibly by changing/deleting registry keys.
You should have all keys and values under \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\Accelerometer
I haven't fully explored it so I can't say exactly what key/value you need to change, but I'd guess the important value would be the Dll that holds the name of the dll used by the accelerometer.
I haven't tried this though so be warned I might be totally off on this, most likely there are others on the forums that know more.

Yes, I fear the my next (probably in one or two year) purchase of a new WP7 device that will not come with a MFG app...
