Backlight problem

My screen will be darker after 10 sec.
I can set this again to 5 min. and after a few on and offs it will be back at 10 sec.
This is very annoying!
I thought i had found the problem, but it wasn't.
HKCU/ControlPanel/Backlight/BatteryTimeout setting up to 300. This is 5 minutes. It counts in seconds. But this isn't working.
Please can anyone help me?? A lot more have this problem.

i had the same "problem" and indeed, after a hard reset the backlight stays on 2 minutes as my heart wishes. i also use the the option to "auto adjust backlight. i have to admit it is strange...i don't see the connection.

It is a bug in keypad locking
I think the backlight problem only occurs if you are using the keylock feature by pressing the end call button for a couple of seconds.
You can try it out yourself:
1) set your backlight settings to whatever you want and verify it works as intended.
2) Now just normally switch of your phone (not locking the keypad) by pressing the power button, switch back on and verify that the setting is still correct.
3) Then do a soft reset and again verify that the setting is correct.
4) Now lock the keypad by using the end call button (press a couple of seconds until locked).
5) Now unlock the phone and check the backlight settings: they are put back on the default values!! I guess it is a bug in the keypad lock functionality.
Btw, step 2) and 3) are just for verification, you may skip these to reproduce the bug.

Actually, if you use the lock feature of the device (for instance by enabling AutoDeviceLock in the registry, see tweak 18 in the stickied Diamond tweaks thread) the settings are also reset to the default values.
Is this the case for everybody? Or is it just me that it seems the locking feature contains bugs.

FYI...I had this issue from the start when I was running the Asia HK 1.34 ROM image. I flashed it using HardSPL and put the Europe 1.35 image on the device and have not had the problem since. All backlight values work normally as of now....I recommend this if your device is the HK ROM and you're having the issue. Not sure if it'll work for you, but it worked for me....

The solution is simply
You have to change DWORD LockLevel present in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\ to 0 (zero)
And now your time of standby don't change anymore

Backlight randomly defaults back to 10 Sec

Hi Guys,
Although I set my backlight to stay on for 2 minutes, it randomly defaults back to the 10 second timeframe.
Why does it do this and can it be prevented?

I have the same problem. I did a hard reset, and it was fine, until I hit lock, now it's happening all over again. I adjusted it in kaisertweaks, but it just ignores it. Screen always dims after 10 seconds.

Check backlight and power setting for both battery and mains.
If you are also using S2U2, check the backlight settings there also. Whatever it says on S2U2, it will override the other settings.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
MAC

Disappearing Dialer

Sometimes when I make a call, after listening to some voice prompts it asks me to press some numbers. When I go to do that, the screen has already darkened and the dialer is not visible. If I hit another key to attempt to "wake up the screen", it goes on hold or does something else.
There's got to be a simple solution to this, but I can't figure out what it is.

Exactly my problem
I have my backlight set to go out after 5 min. Works fine in every app. except the dialer. It goes black after 10 sec.
Anyone knows a remedie ?

Pressing the power button works for me in WM6.1. This turns the backlight back on allowing you to use the touchscreen again.

agree with the post #3 and ALSO...
post #3 in this thread is what i USED to do on wm6 as well as wm6.1
you might also want to look into disabling "Fast Sleep" or disallowing "Sleep" during phone calls using KaiserTweak...i got tired of the method in post #3 so i set the "Sleep" option to disallow in KaiserTweak, which automatically disables "Fast Sleep" also

hard reset not working

hi all and sorry if this has been answered before. i can`t seem to be-able to hard reset my diamond by pressing the volume down and enter button etc. when ever i reflash to a later rom i have to go into start/settings/system/clear storage. is there a problem with my phone or is there a knack to the button pushing? cheers

do it that way
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

and you must keep pressing those buttons untill the bootup screen shows

thanks szkic i`ve tried doing it that way and even holding the buttons down right up until the home page but still nothing ???

if i have a cid unlocked phone or if it has olinex 1.93 installed on it would this be the reason why it doesn`t hard reset? i`m a noob so to the masters out their that probably sounds laughable lol.

another hard reset option.
is your phone with sprint? their user guide states: screen.
Hard Reset
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should only be performed if a
normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default
settings—the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you
entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other
preinstalled programs will remain.
To perform a hard reset:
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. Remove the back cover.
3. With the device turned on, press and hold the Volume Down and Enter keys, and then press the Reset
button with the stylus tip.
4. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the Volume Down and Enter keys until you see the
following message on the screen:
5. Release the Volume Down and Enter keys, and then press the Volume Up key to perform the hard reset, or
press any other button to cancel the reset.
I have yet to be able to do a hard rest (using either method) on the first try. I usually have to attempt it at least 2 or 3 times.

not with sprint i`m from essex in the uk. the diamond was an orange contract phone originally but i`m sure that doesn`t stop it from hard reseting as i`ve flashed it about 15 times now with different roms lol. can someone just clarify the steps to hard reseting...... do i press volume down and the enter button at the exact same time or is it press volume down then enter or vice versa and how long do i have to push the reset button for???? confused.com lol

I got a Sprint, found this on another forum somewhere (ppcgeeks I think). The instructions are incomplete. You must also hold down the Power button, in addition to to the volume and enter buttons when you hit the reset. And yes, you must be a three-handed monkey to do it. I'm really wondering who HTC hires as engineers. I tried it 10 times without holding the power button, could not get a hard reset. I tried it once with the power button (after a lot of contortioning) and it worked the first time. They just screwed up the instructions.

thanks mate will give it a try and let you know how i get on. if it works i think the wiki section should be updated lol

still not working even when i press power on button,volume down,enter and reset grrr !!!

Ok, just did it again to figure out exactly how I did it. Hold down the power, vol down, and enter buttons, then hit reset. Keeping all three buttons down, release reset. Still holding them down, wait about 3 seconds, then the hard reset menu will come up. Make sure you've got that enter button pushed in.
It's really damn hard to do. But I did it twice in a row, so I know it works.
If it starts to soft reset, just do it again right away. Then it should get to the hard reset menu.
EDIT:
Added photo. Notice the thumb is pushing up the stylus. If someone has a better method, please show it.
EDIT 2:
Also notice this is a Sprint model. Do the GSM versions have the reset button next to the battery, or on the bottom like a normal HTC phone? Such a pain in the ass to have it behind the cover.

must have tried about 50 times now lol still nothing????? thanks for showing me the pic i think i tried it that way before on a tytn 2.

Found out there is another way to hard reset the diamond, if the normal method doesn't work for you. FYI, I'm using a Rogers-branded diamond
1. Power the device Off.
2. Press and hold the Center Navigation Control Key and Volume Down buttons, and at the same time, press the POWER button once.
3. Continue to hold the Center Navigation Control Key and Volume Down buttons until you get the Hard Reset confirmation screen and then press the Volume Up Key to reset the device.
NOTE: Once the Hard Reset has been completed, allow the Automatic Customization process to complete: failure to do so can cause poor device performance and/or malfunction.

Either do it the way the poster above has said (didnt know about that one!) or by pressing the volume down and enter buttons down at the same time (keep pressed), and then reset by pushing in and releasing the reset button with the stylus, keep volume and enter down until hard reset screen arrives.
I'll bet the problem is that you aren't keeping the enter button or the vol down button pressed down hard enough or long enough, so it's not actually pressed even though you think it is. This is where I fell foul the first few times.

thanks for all the help on this but after lots of frustrating hours i`ve give up lol is there a code you can enter like the hard reset on a nokia?

Solved ..
The problem was the screen protector as it was preventing the [Center Navigation Control] to be pressed properly although it is pressed easily during normal use but not for hard reset for some reason.
Once removed it worked first time

Anyway to put the Tilt to Auto-Sleep?

I always have to manually press the side button to put it in "sleep" mode. My settings in the phone says to do it after 4 minutes but all it does it barely dim it down. Is there a fix to actually make it "auto sleep" or at least turn off the screen if not used within a time (again setting it under back light nor phone doesn't seem to work). Thanks

There're actually 2 functions: Backlight Dim and Power off (Sleep). It also depends on your ROM. If you use OEM (default factory), the option should be checked for both Backlight and Power. Try it out.
Further reading your manual should help .. or you can try the Kaiser Wiki here .. do a google, do a search ..
