Hello!
I'm new for Kaiser and so - two questions:
1. Is it possible to keep ON the backlight of the hard-keyboard as long as it is opened? (Not fixed time of backlight)
2. Is it possible to see the day of the week on the standart HTC-Home plugin?
Maybe some registry tweaks?
Thank you!

A Lot people on here will tell you to give a forum a good search because all the answers you are looking for have been answered a lot of times before
i will give you a fix for the first one
HKCU\Control Panel\Back light\QKeyLedTimeout Enter the time you want the keyboard to stay on in seconds. For example 360 = 6 minutes. Default is 10.
"Enter the time you want the keyboard to stay on in seconds."
I know that! But I don't want the keyboard to stay ON in seconds! I want it stay ON ALL The Time I use it!!! And I don't know how much time it will take me to type a letter for example. But if there is not a darkness around me, the backlight of keyboard turns OFF after some time (fixed time) - how to prevent that???
In other words - how to keep backlight of keyboard during ALL THE TIME I use it, no matter there is a day-light around me or not!
Hmm! There is the light-sensor on the left side of keyboard!!!! That is the reason!!
Is it possible to turn that sensor OFF without using the black plaster? Maybe some registry tweak?

Hi,
under setting - system-displaylight-Battery
(not quite sure whether this is 100% correct because I am using the german version Einstellung-System-Beleuchtung-Akkubetrieb).
It is possible to set for the background light of the display the delay timer until the light dims down to safe battery.
The standard is 10s, I would like to use 30s.
So far so good, I am able to do the setting to 30s, but after a soft reset or after switching off/on the Kaiser there is again the default setting of 10s.
Do I miss any other preset of this battery safing function?
Any possiilities in Kaiser tweak or Registery setting?
So far I have not installed any other "System tool" for controlling Profiles or anything like that (I have the bluetooth patch, the new camera and album, tomtom, mobipocket, but those applications should not interfear with this system setting)
Best regards,
Claus
PS: I am using the Kaiser since a couple of days - great device - but this is my very 1st WM device, I was using the last years UIQ2 and UIQ3 devices from SE, therefore please forgive any newbie questions
no big news

Congrats! you have hit the same problem as many of us... I don't quite get this to work properly and didn't find any hint yet, so i went different way - disabled backlight and enabled screen turning off in settings -> system -> power (where you can see the battery bar with percentage)
Hope this helps at least a bit.
At least I am not alone in the dark
Many thanks for the reply.

The others didn't realize they have the same issue yet
I solved it now with Phone Weaver a Profil manager.
http://www.sbsh.net/
I am able to set this parameter and now the easy thing is that after a restart of the phone I just enable my prefered Profil and with the Profil I have also my setting for the background light.

Hi
I made this little CAB to install the registry tweaks that prevent your screen from blanking. I can confirm that on my Orange Diamond, using Bepe's .97 this actually works, whereas using Advanced Config didn't solve the issue.
The CAB file is uninstallable should you wish to remove it.
Thanks,
Shinobi_UK
Can you explain what´s in that cab?

You could also easily do it with Diamond Tweak

Actually i found that using DT didn't work either, and I also find it more convenient to apply the registry changes with a cab file, rather than having to install an app I don't use and then make a load of clicks.
If you prefer to do it using a tweaking app then this cab isn't for you. The only reason I posted it is because I use it myself.

Four registry tweaks, and a text file. Nothing sinister.

Well i applied the tweaks and my screen still went blank when calls connected, I'm happy to test it again as I may have been using an older version.

Well actually it's been very easy to achieve by taking registry snapshots, and then using diff on a linux box to find the changes, then import them into a cab file.
So thanks for wishing me luck but it's not required.
Sarcasm breeds sarcasm and frankly i'm slightly ammused that on a forum designed to help users share tips and software, a simple CAB i use after new ROM flashes has created such a hostile response.
I'm not attempting to replace or belittle your tool monte, it's certainly streets ahead of what i can do at the moment, however as bepe's ROM lets me run cabs at build this way is nice and easy for me to ensure that if I need to do a hard reset I can reinstate my registry tweaks during the reset without having to install any additional software.
What's so bad about the screen blanking out during a call?

I find it annoying to have to unblank the screen to use the keypad for things like phone banking and voicemail.
The registry tweaks in Advanced Config did not work on my phone either, but this cab did the job. Thanks shinobi_uk
THIS is effing amazing
Been looking for something like this for a looong time, cheers
Brilliant, I'd tried the registry tweaks in the tweaks thread, and advancedconfig without any luck and this cab worked perfectly.
I haven't tried DiamondTweak, looks interesting though.
This works perfectly. Big Thanks!

It's not that bad, it just annoys me when I'm phoning numbers where you have a number menu system to get through.
It's strange that it's something no other WM phones I've used have done, yet theres no menu option to disable it.

This CAB file is flawed, because it causes unnecessary battery drain.
It's wrong to make the screen never go to sleep during a phone call.
If you'll think about it for a moment, during a call we never really need the screen to be active for more than 1 minute or so, from the last time we touched it. If you are calling a digital voice machine (either your voicemail or anything), 99.999% of the time it won't take more than 1 minute between key presses.
The ideal tweak should just make the screen behave like when you're not in a call, meaning the screen reduces brightness after ~30 seconds, and shuts down after ~1 minute. In order to be 100% on the safe side, you could make it shut down after 2 minutes from last key press. BUT, making it never go to sleep is simply a waste of battery if you're doing for example a 30 minutes conversation.
center button and screen back on
My preference is to have the screen come on, see who it is, then allow it to go blank. If you need it to come back on, i just push the center of the scroll, enter button or whatever its called, and the screen comes back on. (at least it does on mine) . I like it that the screen blanks so it will save battery.
But i dont think we should discourage anyone from making any kind of cab if they desire.

Still, it is unnoying to press that damn key every 5 seconds. The screen should shut down after 1-2 minutes, but NOT never.

Thats abosolute BS. It is NOT flawed. If you dont want your screen to stay on just - dont use the CAB. I think most users around here are smart enought to know that keeping the screen on during a call takes a battery hit. If they use the CAB as I intend to they are willing to accept this.
Ok, im really frustrated by certain things on the diamond, so much so im thinking of selling the diamond....
I love most of the features but a few things really annoy me...such as:
Why when a call connects, does the screen switch off?? This is really annoying when your listening to voicemail, for obvious reasons...
Secondly, i CANNOT switch my input type from FULL QWERTY, i change it, and then when i go back into INPUT, its FULL QWERTY again...why?
Thirdly, when entering a text, i dont want to view a full convo, and the last word of the text remains in the predict part, meaning when you click close, it asks if you want to save to drafts?
If im being stupid, then someone please explain....if not, can anyone assist? Please?
all of your problems have simple quick fixes and have been asked a million times by other people! i dont mean to be rude but please search the forum!
most of you problems can be solved with this one page thats always at the top of the diamond page!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265&highlight=diamond+screen+turning
and look here for your input problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412757
took me 2 seconds to find the thread
SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and to asnwer your question, the light sensor turns the display off when you put the phone to your head, its a kind of safty feature so that you dont press any on screen buttons with your face.
i like the feature, but like many others like you dont, its on the first forum link ive just given you as is the fix to disable the sms chat interface
I did try search but came up blank....The above isnt really a solution, more of a workaround, i want the phone to function as it should, i.e be able to change the input type via settings....
Thanks a lot for your other assistance though Keyz...
you change your input option from the touch flo 3d interface, NOT the settings page on WM.
go into a new text message, and press the little keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen
im not using the TF3D interface though....using WM.....
you have TF3D turnd off?
Yes, but i have switched it back on to see if i change my mind about it...
I still cant get the screen light sensor thing to work....weird...
After a phone call Smart Dial appears for 5 seconds before it disappears.
Is it possible to get rid of that or at least reduce the time to 1 second?
Thanks.
I would like this as well as it takes to long to revert back to tomtom
+1 Bugs me too.
yep I am with you on that one too.
also the three second delay solutions posted here still dont work
ditto...any solution?
*Bump* Anyone, please
bump again.. maybe if we'd ask this in the themes and programs section?
no , i think this is the right place. a registry tweak maybe
actually, i knew about this but hoped for a sollution as well.
disable the phone skin with Advance Config and revert back to the old winmobile dialer.
Hey everyone, I found a very cool CAB, it makes your phone
vibrate on touch like in LG phones.
After install I set "Vibration Duration" on 30 ms in TouchResponse Settings.
It's for me just perfect but you can change it like you feel it better for you
Have fun with it!
If there is a newer version I will update my post
http://rapidshare.com/files/167731588/TouchResponse_v02.CAB
just link it to this topic please give the man his credits and the people who install this maybe want to know who made this and maybe ask questions

Ups sorry I didn't see this thread
Someone please close this thread
you don't have to close it i think maybe some users here dont go there often! so it's pretty handy to have this topic here that shows the TP users that there are programs like this
Very Cool THANKS!
installed yesterday, saw on its original topic
very very good
any way to make it work just when the soft keyboard is up?
thanks!
delete please!
i already have a cab for when the dialer is up so i have to figure someone can make it work just with keyboard
Does anyone know how this affects battery life? I would imagine that running the vibration motor every time you touch the screen would tend to decrease the battery life a good amount

What would your batt life be normally after 2hr doing the same thing WITHOUT the vibrate enabled?

spb keyboard has an option to make it vibrate when you press the keys. Plus, its ALOT more accurate than the default keyboard. You also have the option of the vibration occurring before the key press or after
Try it out!

Nice App!
Using it on my Touch HD and it works wel.
Is there any way (or are there any plans) to invoke vibration on only selected applications (eg. phone dialer) or only when the on-screen keyboard is being used? I know there is a similar application that vibrates exclusively w/ the phone dialer.
