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 reverts to 10 seconds

I found this problem frustrating.
Settings > system> backlight > battery power > from 10 secs to, say, 2 min
I set backlight to more than 10 secs, but after 1-2 days, it reverts to 10 secs...even if I do NO perform any soft reset!
This issue appears with all the ROMs I have used: dutty, Romeo, original, etc
What can be the cause?
Thanks

additionally: is there an application which make me REALLY control the backlight time, so I can override this 10 secs limitations?
I believe that backlight is linked to paswword time: if password time is set to, say, 1 minute, and backlight to 5 minutes, which is longer than pwd time, very soon the backlight will "adjust" back to default 10 secs...
Please help

Are you using Blackberry Connect AND Tomtom?
Blackberrry Connect is running all the time. I have the same 10 second issue whenever I exit Tomtom.
I usually end up doing a soft reset to fix the problem.

Thanks: here my answers:
1. I do not use blackberry
2. TomTom: yes, it is installed, but I use it very rarely, say once any 3 months.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks and waiting

When you go into the Backlight settings, try clicking on Menu at the bottom, then Power, then the Advanced tab, and set it there and see if that helps. I think that was what I finally did to help this out.

Maybe it's opera mobile 9.5 beta (if you have that on there.) It's been shown to reset notification settings, and I've also had my backlight timeout reset to 10 seconds as well as the notification settings reset.

Same pb today
Go in parameters, power and encrease the time of run before going in stand-bye when using battery.
It resolve my problem

I had problems with a few roms that would present this problem after sync'ing with exchange outlook. if i didn't sync, no backlight problems, after sync didn't matter - ten seconds the light would dim.
anyone else have problems like this?

I have encountered this issue & it relates to the "Fast Sleep" function from the phone module; whenever I get an incoming call, it resets the backlight timer from 3 min to 10 seconds. I used Schaps Advanced Configuration to disable the Fast Sleep, but it resets w/an incoming call. HTC says that despite the registry changes; they are overriden by the factory settings coded in the phone module.

I found this occuring after sync'ing to exchange to be the case. If I didn't sync, then I wouldn't have the problem with the backlight issue. Everyone that is experiencing this problem has to do something with WM6.1. If you do enough research you will find this out to be the case. Some chefs that modded their roms prevent this from happening, so far I have only come across one cooked roms that prevent this.
AKADonny's Rom
Hope this helps.
If anyone knows how to patch this problem, let me know.

Backlight settings ALWAYS defaults to 5min

I have a tytn 2.
I set the backlight to go off after 30 secs but it ALWAYS seems to default back to 5 mins.
I have SBP mobile shell & S2U2 installed.
Any ideas please ?

oppostie problem on tilt
I have the opposite problem on my WM6.0 Tilt with stock ROM.
After every soft reset (daily, because I have a daily scheduled backup) it always reverts to the minimum setting of 10 seconds. I'd love to get it to stick at the maximum of 5 minutes.

Yep, mine keeps going back to 10 sec. but mine does it everytime I push the power button to wake it up. quite annoying when you are trying to read websites and the backlight goes dim instantly.

How to change backlight timeout when locked?

Hi,
Is there any way to change backlight time out when the phone is locked(long red button press)??? Normally my phone is set up to turn of backlight after 40 sec -and I wanna KEEP it. I need to shorten that time to 5 sec only when the phone is locked(when accidentally I press any button in the pocket it will be unnecessary draining battery for 40 sec. Please can anybody help me?

Bump, I would like a solution to this also. Seems like my Diamond used to time out after ten seconds when locked, but it doesn't do that anymore. Now it uses the settings in the Setting:System/Power/Backlight, which I have set at 45 seconds I believe. I think installing Phone Alarm might have something to do with it. I disabled Phone Alarms power settings, but still same problem.
Anyone know the fix for this?

Nevermind, I just started using S2U2, and I can adjust this the way I need it. Thanks.

How to keep backlight "on" HTC Pure?

I need my backlight to stay on for 2 min. I set the option in settings, battery. However the phone will continually default to 10 sec. I change back to 2 min. the phone sets it back to 10 sec. Endless cycle! HIGHLY ANNOYING!
I had the same issue on my Tilt. There were workarounds. I've been searching but cannot find a fix for the Pure.
Anybody help out?

Which ROM?

Same problem on my diamond2. Latest official rom 2.53.405.5 (76952) WWE .
I try to change the default 10sec to 30 sec, but my diamond2 sets it back to 10sec.

Same problem here on Touch Diamond2.
After a soft reset, the backlight timeout is set back to 10 sec. The timeout setting is "forgotten" every time the phone is restarted.
I'm running the official ROM 2.16.479.1 WWE. Has anyone found a way to fix this?
