Hi,
Having trouble sorting the backlight lock level, the one that is supposed to set the backlight level when you lock your keyboard. Found the item in registry (under HKCU/control panel/backlight/locklevel), but when I increase the value (default is 0) it messes with other backlight settings (e.g. the time to dim if no keys pressed, but also starting backlight level).
Any clues?

Hey guys, I thought I'd share with you all 2 new toys for our Kaisers/Tilts.
BrightLock is a small utility that gets installed in to your startup folder. It will stop the Tilt/Kaiser from dimming the display every time it is locked. It replaces the needed for a script to hack the registry each time.
Touch Control gives you an easy way to tweak your touch screen sensitivity without having to dig through other tweak tools.
Both are available on my RapidShare folder:

I'll put them up as packages for Chefs when I get a chance.
isnt the touch control already there when you have touch flo or if you have any kind of cube installed already...?
I don't know, I don't install either with my roms.
Thank you for both of those, I don't use the cube either. These will help man.
I don't use touch but BrightLock fixes the last (non-driver or lack of driver ) issue I have with the Tilt.
Thanks
TouchControl isn't related to the HTC Touch or cube. It's just for adjusting the sensitivity on the actual touchscreen. Same as recalibrating only you look at it as a slider.
brightview seems utility..touchcontrol seems bloatware

thanks tho for the apps
BrightLock is a great idea, BUT it changes the backlight setting to 10 seconds on my TyTN II, an unacceptably short amount of time. Maybe there's a simple fix for this issue??

doesn't kaisertweak already give that change for touch sensitivity?
Can anyone give me the registry entry to try the backlight fix, since the BrightLock app won't work for me. I'm wondering if a manual edit causes the backlight setting to change to 10 seconds too.
EDIT: Found it!
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
There REG_DWORD Key called LockLevel can be set between 0-10 (0=0%, 10=100% locklevel backlight brightness)
EDIT 2: It looks like editing the LockLevel has the same result as BrightLock, the backlight turns off after 10 seconds. I'm way too dimwitted to be able to function with only 10 seconds of backlight, so I guess there's really no fix for me.
Thanks.

TouchControl Requirements
I installed TouchControl on my Tilt and it is requesting a newer version of .NET. What version does this program require?
I am using the latest official ROM version from HTC.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They are compiled against .NET 3.5
Rebecker, that's really odd. All I'm doing is forcing LockLevel to 10 at boot then dumping from memory. It's a quick fix to save the user from having to setup scripting/etc.
LockLevel should ONLY affect the brightness when locked.
I tried "Bright Lock" and it changes the locklevel key to 10 (full brightness) at power On, but has the side effect of changing the key "Battery Timeout" to 7 (seconds) which dims the display in 7 seconds when the phone is unlocked as well as locked.
Haven't found a way to get a bright screen at power-up to see the screen to unlock it (with a short timer like 7 seconds), then revert to the backlight timer setting (like 30 seconds or more) once unlocked!
There is another thread dealing with short backlight issues and it seems that LockLevel and BatteryTimeout are linked somehow???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351709
What do you think the BatteryTimeoutTemp key does?
EDIT
In any case, if you REMOVE Bright Lock, then re-name the DeviceLock key like the referenced thread describes and soft reset, BINGO, the Backlight comes on bright for about 7 seconds when locked AND it stays On for the duration of the settings>backlight timer when un-locked!
Hi,
first...excuse me for my very bad english!!!
I have the following problem: after installed some programs the display remain always powered on also after many minutes.
I think that some parameter in the registru have been chanched.
Someone know how can I resolve the problem?
Thanks!
Doc
After watching something in TCMP player I have that issue sometimes. The screen just wont go back to sleep. I fix it by going into the start menu > settings > power options, usually just going in there and back to the home screen will reset it for me. However when I first installed it I had the time out options set pretty high and it did not always power off after installing stuff. I lowerd those and have not had a problem since.
Could be a different problem though, what program did you install? What changes to the phone have you made?
this is a knows bug in the s710 and s730. programs like tomtom and TCMP player change the Display key to a high value and reset it to the previous. Th eproblem is the key doen't exist on there phones.
search for the backlight-bug in the s710 forum.
start menu > settings > power options > ok, then you have reset all parameters
Regards
If the light goes off, but the display stays on, you must lock your keyboard, display goes out after some time that way(like you've set in the "settings" menu).
look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303778
To solve the problem get a registry editor and do the following:
HKCU / Control Panel / Power => values => LockLevel then you open the values and set "Display" to 30 (30 equals 30 seconds).
domenicostorino:
Thanks. I hope this finally helps.
Unfortunately the display's again on. "Display timeout on battery" and "Display time out on AC" are again (automaticaly) set to 30 seconds and the display doesn't go off.
Thats really weird, without changing anything on mine once I exit the Core or TCPMP player I just load the power options and click done, just going in the menu resets my phone to normal power off functions.
I wonder if in the regestry its not actually locking in the change like the call beep...
In order to save the battery life, I always make the backlight to the darkest indoor, but when I get into the outdoor, the sunlight makes the screen unreadable, and if I need to increase the backlight by 'Start' -> 'Settings' -> 'Backlight', I have to 'guess' where I tapped.
I wrote a program to do this by hotkey. The program binds itself to "Key 6" (The code in registry is 0x40C6, short press of the voice command key above the scroll wheel, this key is not defined in a shipped rom). It will hooks the scroll and 5-ways keys events,such as VK_UP/VK_DOWN ect, and adjust the backlight by keypress.
This program works well in WM6.0, but cannot work on WM6.1, it can only get and display current backlight level correctly, but can't hook the keyboard events.
Here is the codes:
Code:
g_hKeyboardHook = ::SetWindowsHookExW( 20,//WH_KEYBOARD_LL,which is not the same value as PC windows
(HOOKPROC) KeyboardProc,
0,
0);
err = ::GetLastError();
err returns 'Not enough privilege', but I've changed in the registry table and disabled the Unsigned Applications Policy checking.
So my question is :
1.Does WM6.1 have a new security policy setting?
2.Or Microsoft changed the undocumented API SetWindowsHookExW and WH_KEYBOARD_LL definition in WM6.1?
Thanks for you help
I have searched this forum for hours looking for a post which refers to turning off the proximity sensor lights on the hard buttons with no joy. I'm sure someone has asked about it but i cannot find any reference to it. Does anyone know how to do it? I'm sure it is a registry item but cannot find it. I would appreciate any help.
people are aware
i do hope someone is trying to fix this issue
Registry Changes For Proximity Sensor
I have experimented with changes to the Registry. There seem to be at least two Registry keys which affect the Key Lights. One is at
HKLM\Services\Keypad; it includes:
ActionDebounceTimeout
DisableGhostKeyDetect
DisableKeyLight
Dll
DisableKeyLight default is "0". When changed to "1" or "2", there is no effect on the KeyLight, but these changes interfere with the on/off switch operation.
If both DisableKeyLight and DisableGhostKeyDetect are set to "1" there is no effect on the KeyLight but interference with on/off switch.
ActionDebounceTimeout default is "100" any changes have no effect on the KeyLight but confuse the on/off switch.
If the Dll entry is changed to e.g. .xdll ALL buttons on the machine are disabled.
The second registry entry is at:
HKLM\Drivers\Builtin\KeyLight which includes:
Dll
Flags
IClass
Index
Order
Changes to Order have no effect on the KeyLight
Changing the Dll entry to .xdll TURNS OFF the KeyLights but ALL Brightness control is lost. Brightness is at Maximum and not changeable. Reset to .dll
Changing Index from "1" (default) to "0" TURNS OFF the KeyLights but ALL Brightness control is lost as above.
A Final try with HKLM\Drivers\Builtin\FrontLight yielded the following:
Changing the Dll entry to .xdll TURNS OFF the KeyLights but ALL Brightness control is again lost.
No other changes to \Frontlight\ appeared to have any effect.
I think there may be some entry or combination I have missed. Perhaps some other experimenter can find it. Since the KeyLights CAN be turned off, it may be that Brightness control can be restored in some way. Any help would be appreciated.

Has anyone found a solution to this question?
Is there a chance to map Volume keys (only when screen is on) to control brightness?
Alternative:
Long press of home sets full brightness?
Dimmed at night, the display might be not usable next day. To adjust brightness usually you have to see the touchscreen.
I have searched for such an app, but didn't found it. Do you know one?
Please do not post questions inthe dev sections.
