Hi,
I'm having an issue with my diamond. If I connect it to my PC, no matter if it's via AS or as harddrive, the Diamond will go into standby after the period I entered in energy-setting (charging via usb disabled of course).
However this is very unhandy when droping files as I always have to touch the screen to keep the connection alive and no, I don't want it to charge via USB
Is there some Reg-Tweak telling the Diamond not to fall asleep when it's "penetrated"?
I used the search but that subject didn't come up.
Thanks
you can untick in start - settings - system - power - advanced tab the "Turn off device if not used for..." option for both battery and external power use.
that should prevent your phone for going into standby while you're connected to the pc
Start -> Settings -> System -> Power ->Advanced
On external power
remove check from:
Turn off device if not used for

As I said, I don't want to load via USB.

I already knew this trick, but it's uncomfortable. I mean the phone has to realize it's connected to the pc somehow, at least via AS it does. So why doesn't the Diamond think "Hey, I'm currently connected, stupid idea to go sleeping"
No one else having this issue??
It also recognizes running Teeter, preventing it to go stand-by. Isn't there some registry entry, a list of programs, to prevent if from standing by? Probably Teeter does this itself, as foreground running application, while ActiveSync probably does not.
Solution? Run teeter while connected to the PC

I keep my Tilt connected to a PC all the time when I am not using it.... To charge it, and transfer files etc.
The problem is that it never appears to turn off when connected, specifically the screen. Now I don't know if phone screens really suffer from any type of "burn-in", but I'm sure there is some type of limited life on the screens.
I have set the Start > Settings > System > Power > Advanced to turn off the device on external power after a couple of minutes, but it does not appear to do anything.
The settings in Start > Settings > System > Backlight > External Power does seem to work. I set it to turn off backlight after 30 seconds and it does.
I often hit the power button on the phone to turn it to standby when I go to sleep but the screen is often on again when I get to it. It think if it gets a call it might wake the screen, and never shut back off.
How can I ensure that the screen stays off (or powers off after activity) while the device is connected to the PC?
thx
Well there is a light in there that can burn out. Um, what happens if you hit that side button that turns that light off? Works for me when my preciouses is blugged into my comp.
the problem with pushing power button when connected to computer...it turns the screen off, but also breaks the connection to Active Sync for some reason..it charges the phone but activesync connection goes down.
but im a newb on the tilt so there might be an option to enable active sync with display off.

ooooooh you know what, whenever I close wow out when I'm done, there is a window saying that active sync was disconnected. I just thought it timed out or something. Hmmmmm
After is has synced do you really need it to keep refreshing?

That works, but the problem is if someone calls (or maybe if some other notification comes in...SMS, email, calendar appointment) it lights back up and stays on.
I'm not concerned with ActiveSync disconnecting, I just want to plug it into my computer to leave charging and I would rather not power the device ALL the way down.
-thx
I guess I need to pay more attention to mine.

There are programs that you can install that will shut off your screen but leave the rest of the device active. I wouldn't worry about the screen burning though. My Wizard was on like that all the time for over a year (stupid WM6 bug prevented you from turning the phone off if it was plugged in to USB), and my screen never showed any adverse effects.
As long as your backlight goes off, you will be fine.
ok, so as the title says. I installed kaisertweaks a little while ago and now it does not seem to be chargin when connected to the pc.
one thing, kaisertweaks isnt realled a installed program is it? it doesnt seem to be installed on my tilt, just a user interface that interacts with the phone.
when I plug up the phone, the light goes amber but after about 2 minutes it turns off and just blinks. I dont know if it was something I checked off or not, but I do not recall checking anything off to do with the battery.
i think u did check something and i know for sure in settings there is an option that disables charging when plugged to pc.
explore the settings especially battery.
one possibility is the option within your "power" setting menu...
click the power/battery icon on the top right corner & click the "advanced" tab ...
bottom portion reads:
"when device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC"
see if the option is ticked !!!

this is the one i was referring to. thanks for exact settings option.
nope, it was unchecked. I would think it had to be something with kaiser tweaks but I didnt touch any charging settings or saw any that I know of. umm
Hi all,
I am looking for a way to set my diamond so that when connected to a charger (car, usb, anything), it will set the screen to full power, full backlight and not stop that at all (unless I hit the power button on top).
When in battery mode, it should continue working as usual.
The reason for this, is that when I am connected to a charger it means I am in my car, and I like my device on, ALL THE TIME.
The current situation, is that it either blanks off, or the backlight makes it impossible to see, since it adjusts to bad, I do not need energy save when connected to a charger.
Any thoughts?
Settings>System>Power>Backlight
Untick 'Auto Adjust' and set the slider 'On external power:" to Bright(right side).
Then on Advanced tab, Untick both the options under 'On external power:"
this does NOT do the trick
the display gets dim after a while
I am also using S2U2, but have it set to not lock when connected to external power.
any reg options?

My backlight stays on when ever i get a text or a call. Even if i hangup, it still stays on and then i have to manually dim it. Its damn annoying, as my fone is not always with me. Ill come home and the thing would be flat due to a text early the morning and the backlight staying on the whole day.
I did a hard reset a while ago and that seems to cure it, but when i backup my data, the backlight issue is back.
I almost want to think that active sync is the culprit. dont know how or why, but it has some influence on the phone. Any Ideas?
thanx
Check your backlight (dim after X minutes) and power (turn off after Y minutes) settings?
Turn off backlight if device is not used for - 10seconds (battery power)
Turn off backlight if device is not used for - 1 minute (External power)
thats the current setttings?
Do you have your phone connected to the PC via activesync (usb or bluetooth) all day?
No, not at all. Bluetooth is off, wifi is off, its just idling. If i get a text or a call it stays on.
when i do connect to the pc its via usb
Have you installed any non standard applications that adjust the backlight???? I had the same problem when I used wm5 Ipaq programs on my TyTN.
not at all. I recently did a hard reset.
then plugged it into the pc a couple of times. So i gathered activesync connected a few times and now its giving me the same old crap
Did you install Manilla TouchFlo?
nope. there is only oem software on the fone

KaiserTweak is just what you need! You can change all the 'sleep' options around, without having to dive into the registry.

Hey Guys,
question is as simple as that. I'm using HTC's original cradle for charging and syncing. Means, the phone is getting charged over USB. So whenever I dock the device, Windows Mobile Center kicks in. No problem by itself but the Diamond's screen backlight won't turn off when connected to AS. It just only dims into energy saving mode.
Is there a way either to completely turn the display off when syncing -or- to disconnect from AS without disconnecting from USB? The former could also be helpful for TomTom which also only dims the screen but won't switch it off.
Thanks,
Falk
First solution
Put the diamond in the cradle.
Wait for a complete sync.
Push diamond's power button.
The diamond will still be charging through USB, the screen will be completely off.
Of course, in this case, Active Sync is disabled and you won't be able to sync or access the device through your PC.
Second solution
Use a tool to toggle the screen off while not affecting the diamond power state
Some applications provide such built-in features, like Windows Media Player which has a toggle screen shortcut which allows you to listen to music with the screen off
You may find such a tool here or here
In this case, everything will be functionnal (sync and charging) with screen off
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Yes, of course... that really is the simplest solution So simple I even didn't think of it. Merci b'coup!
I put the screen off util on the Take Call hardware button. Now the best would be if this app could also reactivate the screen as I now need to push the on/off button that seems to disable GPS.
Bitte sehr...
What you actually need is a "toggle screen" command line tool and not a simple screen off tool....
Interesting.
If I think of something, i'll let you know

Yep
eg this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326103 which perfectly does the job when assigned to a hardware button
Thx again for your help!
You're welcome.

There is another option. If you do not use AS or WMDC to snyc with the PC you can disable it all together. In WMDC, open the Device Center with the device disconnected. The only Flash menu you will see is "Mobile Device Settings". Roll your mouse over & you will see "Connection Setting". Click on it, & disable the Checkbox next to "Allow USB Connections". After you do this the Computer will no longer try to sync with the device, but it still connects as an external device {allowing you to veiw your device in explorer}.
After you have disable the syncing, you need to adjust the power settings on your device. Set the device to sleep while on external power.
Personally I use the screen toggle alot. I use my device with Inet sharing when I can't get a WiFi signal on my laptop. I have SPB Pocket Plus installed, which includes a screen toggle.
Thanks for your reply. I'm actually using WMDC however thanks for showing up this possibility.
I installed pBar 1.5 a few days ago which also features a screen toggle button.
Apart from that I'm quite happy with Myster-D's solution.
