Hi All,
What i want to do is how can i set a timeout for display off. That is to set, say, after 10 second, the display for my machine will turn off. Just like the time out for power off.
I am using WM6 on my Herms200, I know how to turn off the screen without poweroff. I know WM6 already have timeout for backlight and power off. But it seems that there was no timeout setting for display off.
That is a very commond features for nowaday mobile phone.
I hope my question will be a new one.
I have a XDA Neo and the battery life is not really the best, so I keep in standby (hit the side button so the back light and LCD is turned off). But the only way to get the LCD back on is to hit the power button. Is there a way to get the LCD to come back on along with the back light by just tapping the screen?
You can off just the screen rather than put the phone in standby mode. You can use psShutxp or other program (aplenty) to do it.
But this drain battery. Alternatively, unlock all you button so that you can power up your ppc by any hardware button press. That's what I do. To protect against accident power up, I install S2U2 so that a slide on the screen is required to unlock, else it will go back to sleep mode in x min.

How would I do that? What will it shut off?

I only have a Hermes and not familiar with your device but if it running Windows Mobile 6 then you probably can just turn off backlight but prevent phone from going into standby mode.
Start -> Setting -> Backlight
In there you can adjust the setting and timer for the backlight
Start -> Setting -> Power
In there you can adjust the setting for standby or disable standby mode.
Disabling the standby but keeping the backlight on timer should turn off the backlight but the LCD screen will stil be active and will wake on the touch.
One negtive thing about touch screen LCD that is putting it in your pocket may keep repeatly turning the backlight back on and drain your battery quickly without you being aware of it.

I do have a option to turn off the back light only and not put the phone into standby. But my LCD stays on(without the light) which sucks down the battery life.
I tried out sShutxp, but it only turns off the phone and has no option to turn it back on.
Well, I got the next best thing. I assigned the #1 button to Display Switch. So it turns the display on and off.
my htc mega seems to have problem to automatically turn off backlight and lock. i have set the backlight setting to turn off backlight if device is not used for 10 sec & turn off the device if not used fot 1 min. it just not working after i installed some application.
please advise.
What a cool feature would be within Mobile 7 on the HD2 is the possibility to auto switch on the backlight of the HW buttons when the screen is turned on. And auto switch off when the screen turns off.
Anyone an idea how to do this ??
hoping for that too.. i dont like having the feel around for the buttons at night lol
Is it possible to turn off the small vibration when I turn the phone on?
settings/sound/haptic feedback...turn it off.
Hope thats what you mean, failing that you might need another rom that gives you more control over startup/shutdown setting.
