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.

My tilt's EDGE and 3G connection automatically turn on, sometimes when i wake up, it's on for 9 hours, why is that? and i can't find a way to fix it. And when i put the tilt away for a few min, the screen will automatically shut down to save on energy, and i will have to press the POWER button once to have the screen back up. Can we change this setting? it is not very handy. thanks for the help. i am a noob.

I had the same problem,
Disabled push email.
Problem went away.
I have a similar problem. Is there a way to see what application is opening the data connection. I had email set to download once a day, so it was not my email. Can't think what else it may be...
I have recently had to hard reset my phone (long and boring story).
Since then, I have not been able to get some settings the same and it is frustrating me! I hope someone can help.
What I want is for the backlight on the phone to go dim (but not off) after 10 seconds and I want the phone to switch off after 1 minute. So in the power setting I have set the setting for turn off backlight if device is not used to 10 seconds and the turn off device if not used to 1 minute. All is well. However, I want the device to autolock after 1 minute as well. If I enable autolock in advanced config then the device locks after 10 seconds, not 1 minute!
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks

Thanks. I did try a search, but I find its getting harder to find things now!
What I was wondering was why (or how) I managed to have it working previously and yet not again even though I think I had the same set of settings! That didnt sound right to me...
Interesting program that, will have to investigate. But I am sure it can be done natively with the device - that is how it was for me before my hard reset.
You should have the "Lock" app in Settings. You could use it...or you could install Slide2Unlock (S2U2) to do it as well.
The screen keeps blinking back to full brightness, every 30 seconds or so, when it is left alone and the screen dims normally. It is as if something is pressing a button or touching the screen.
When I press the power button and send it to suspend mode, the backlight goes off, and the tilt no longer responds to touch or button pressing. For some reason it pops itself out of suspend and turns back on every couple minutes. My battery life is going down extremely fast. 100% to 40% in three hours.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the forum but never found a specific topic for this issue.

I have the same problem w
th the backlight comming on by itself & battery life depletes extremely fast. I am using HD 15 Nov with 3.29.
In addition to backlight issue my hardware keys are no longer working.
Please has anyone got any advice
i have the same problem. the only thing that seems to work is doing the keypad lock and putting it to sleep. it will occasionally blink like its trying to come back on but doesnt. another thing i did is put my phone in flight mode, locking the keypad and putting it to sleep. when i do that it doesnt blink or anything. sadly i wont receive phone calls or emails and texts. i think the blinking has something to do with phone signal and accessing the networks.
hth
also i noticed that it wakes from sleep when the keypad "unlock" screen pops up.
i think i found a fix
Ok I hope this helps for you because it seems to work for me. I first went to start/settings/sounds & notifications. Then I clicked on the notification tab and unchecked everything leaving only the ringer on for when calls come in. when I did that, for about 5 minutes (longest I tested it at) the phone did not turn on and the backlight didn’t do that weird grayish flash thing. Afterwords I at first was going to go down the list of all notifications and turn things on/off to see what wakes up my phone but i got too lazy and only checked one setting. One thing I noticed is that when I have the beam: autorecieved notification turned on for display a message on the screen I get that weird backlight flickering thing. So for now I just have sound alerts on when I receive any type of messages and a sound alert for reminders. So far so good, my phone hasn’t woken from sleep in 20 minutes.
Hi, please forgive me for asking such a dumb question. I imagine my problem is not that uncommon. By default, the phone turns off back light if I don't touch any key for 30 seconds (feels like shorter than that). Anyway, I dial in to check my voicemail. Due to the length of the message, the back light turns off. It looks like there is no key other than the power button can bring the screen back. Sometimes, I have to press the power button a couple of times before the screen comes back, then when I try to delete the message (by pressing 7) sometimes I don't even see the keypad any more. It's just a bit of hassle. Can you tell me how you would do it?
thanks very much!
I'm not sure if there's an option for the phone not to switch the backlight off and/or go to sleep while in a phone call.
If you want to control the duration before the phone switches off the backlight or goes to sleep, you will have to change the backlight or power settings ujnder Settings -> System.
didn't know when and how it was set at 10 sec backlight

Thanks! I went into Settings -> System -> backlight and realized that it was set to was set at 10 sec on battery. I don't know when it got changed. Reset it back to 30 sec. should be better now. Changed the power to turn off after 3 min, too.
Hi everyone,
I am currently running the rom found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464758
and am having a problem adjusting the time before the screen shuts off due to inactivity. At the moment whenever I change it from 15 seconds, the change appears to have taken affect (it shows the change in settings), then I leave the settings and it resets back to 15 seconds with no notification. It appears even if I leave my pad on the settings it does not change anything and still shuts the screen off after 15 seconds.
So now my question is threefold.
1.) Am I able to fix this problem in any way or is it a byproduct of the HP Touchpad itself?
2.) I have screeble, but it does not appear to be receiving information from the pad's accelorometers. Is there any way to fix this?
3.) I have tasker, though I have not messed around with it much. Is there any way to use tasker to force the setting in if the settings are unresponsive?
EDIT: Reflashing the ROM didn't work. Tasker didn't work.
EDIT 2: It looks like it was screeble that was deciding to keep on reseting my screen off time even when it was disabled. I deinstalled it and things seem to be working fine.
