Settings>Today>Items has a checkbox and time selector for "Today timeout". Can someone please explain what this setting does. Thnx.
after the amount of time set, if the phone was idle, it will switch to the today screen.
Gee Thanks, always wondered what it does. Shame it cannot be set to 1 minute. If my Phone screen is up I inadvertently start calls, so I use it as a momentary screen only and alway switch away from it.

Ever since i had my t-Mobile varioIII the backlight light never goes completely off. It will go to the lowest dim setting from bright but not off. I've tried using Phonealarm and use the setting 0% but this does not help. Going directly to backlight in settings and using the slider all the way left just makes the screen backlight go dim too, not off. Does this happen on all Kaisers?
While I'm here, I have in settings>today>items a 'program' called
[email protected] listed along with the usual Date, owner info, etc but if i tick it on nothing appears on the today screen. Any body know what this is for?
same problem with backlight! (mda vario3)
my htc kaiser does that when charging and I have not got the registry keys to change it
Apologies for asking something you guys most probably already checked:
Go Start->Settings->System->Power. Then select the Advanced tab and see if "Turn off device if not used for" is checked and what amount of time has been set for this.
It's normal, Kaisers screen is not transreflective so if the backlight is off there will be no display (unlike the previous 8525/Hermes which had a transreflective screen that could be seen with the backlite off) so they keep it always on when the phone is on. If you are connected to a charger, you can set the phone to turn itself off after a set time, but that's all you can do.
On my TyTN II the setting I showed above works fine. It switches off the screen after the set period.
Yes, the display goes off because the phone is now in off/standby. If you were connected to active sync, it would just dim but stay on.
...and that's because the setting Start->Settings->System->Power->Advanced->On external power. This is by default unchecked.
The problem is how to get the screen to go off and save battery, but remain connected e.g. to WiFi for those of us who receive VoIP calls.
Hi,
I have tomtom navigator 6 working fine on my tytn2 but after a few minuets the screen times out and goes black, u then have to press the power button for it to come back but it then looses the gps and u have to wait a few secs before it comes back.
Is there any way to leave screen on all the time for tomtom?
Thanks
Jason
Adjust your power settings.
But that will change it for everything and it will hurt my battery life. surley there must be a fix for this type of program or something?
Thanks
Jason
I have never had a problem with TomTom and screen timeout, I think I have seen some settings for it in TomTom itself...
My TT6 has worked just fine from day 1...not sure what I did, if anything to keep the screen on.
Already had a good look and there isnt any settings for it.
Are you sure you haven't set the safety settings on TomTom to turn off the screen over a certain speed?
From your description I don't think this is the case. Weird problem though, I don't get it on mine.
wierd issue, to add to this i keep getting the pin screen appear after about 15-20 mins when using TomTom, yes i do have the pin enabled and its set for 0mins so when the screen times out its on, but i have configured it to 5, 15 mins with the same effect, the sceen just reverts to pin after around 15-20mins (i have to have this enables as my work exchange requires (read force) it), which generally means i have to type in my set pin to get tomtom back.... not good.......

You have to look harder buddy. Run Tomtom then go to Change Preferences. In there, open Safety Preferences. Select Disable safety lock and tap Done. Then you will be presented with the next option: "Turn off map display". Set this to Never.
Hi all, whenever my Kaiser goes to sleep and I turn it back on, it closes whatever app was up, and presents the Today screen.
I am sure I saw a setting to prevent this but cannot find it any more in Advanced Config or Kaiser Tweak.
Anyone know how to make it come out of standby showing the same screen it entered standby with?
Today timeout....... under settings?
No that's something different to what I described.
I was thinking the same thing as grizzley. Can you describe a little more on how it is different than what you described?
My Tilt always comes out of standby to whatever program was running when it went into standby.
That's it really, mine doesn't. E.g. I'm in Calendar, and the device automatically goes into standby after 2 mins. I press the power button and it instantly wakes up, closes calendar, and shows the home screen.
I have seen this option in BatteryStatus but it doesn't have any effect if I tick or untick it.
Yes, I see.
There is also the "Today timeout" setting under Settings>Personal>Today>Items, but I do not think this will help you either.
The only other thing I can think of is maybe you have a Today plug-in that has some sort of "timeout" feature?
Actually, I also have a vague recollection of a setting (maybe in SKTools) that might have been something like "Today screen on resume." But I might be imagining this; I will do a little investigating.
Sorry I can not be more helpful.
Don't know if anyone has exerienced this but, everytime I turn the screen on the device shows the today screen, no matter what it's running. Not a big deal, but I used to turn off the screen for a few seconds when I wanted to take pictures in low light conditios and I can't do that anymore
It all began when I configured my exchange account and had to install Zenyee's Stayunlocked to avoid having to enter a password every 5 min (due to my company's security policies).
Anyone else has this problem?
thanks in advance

that sunds like today timeout to me.... got to settings/personal/today/items
and below the scroll box is a check box that says today timeout. uncheck it.
hope this helps,

nope
nope. I already tried different settings there and it didn't change. I just noticed another funny thing. the screen turns on alone for a moment five seconds after I turn it off. but this only happens if I'm using the camera. Isn't it weird? It just flashes and turns off again....
any suggestions?
Anyone else has something to add to this issue? Has anybody else used zenyee Stayunlocked in a Kaiser?
thanks
Do you have Batterystatus installed? There is an option in the tool-tab:
"Show Today-Screen on WakeUp" Check if checked.

So, I know there's no option for 'Stay awake while charging' in this version, which is annoying already....but no matter what I set the screen timeout to, it still goes dark/locks at 15seconds. Going back in to look at the setting still shows '3 minutes' or whatever selected but it damn sure doesn't do it. Anyone else?
My timer works fine at 2 minutes. I really miss the stay awake option while charging.
Yeah, cant imagine why that would be omitted, unless it really impacts charging ability/time...the included chargers are comparatively low output.

Same issue, do you have company email applying polices to your phone?
I use Screen Timeout to keep my screen on.
