I am curious if anyone has found a good program to auto adjust the backlight.
Let me explain a bit more.
I had a touch pro.
And I ran Lumos.
it had exceptions.
So say if i ran Coreplayer, or Garmin the backlight would go full blast.
Man i have searched and searched and it seems as though such a software doesnt exist.
Am i missing something here?
i have googled, went to various xperia forums and searched, and still nothing.
but something else that throws me is i sometimes see this phone being refered to as an HTC device.
is that true?
because it doesnt seem to me that HTC would put sony on it.
but this i am not sure of.
so any help or ideas please let me know.

Folks,
Recently I upgraded my phone from 8525 to Tilt. Overall a great device but there are few quirks but I guess you cant have everything. I have few questions which I tried to find answers for but couldnt.
1) Is there a way to manually turn GPS on or off? My GPS was working fine but after I installed Map4PDA i think it changed some GPS COM port settings etc. and now none of the Satellite programs such as MS Live Search or Google Maps work. Everytime i start any one of them they cant communicate with intermediate driver and the application hangs. When i kill the app, the GPS hardware i think remains on (the orange LED keeps blinking) and the device becomes ridiculously slow. Remedy is to soft reset the device but its a PITA. Besides, now I cannot use any of the navigation software. If I hard reset the phone i guess it will restore everything back to normal but i'll lose all my customization which i really dont want to. I guess there are backup programs out there but not sure how good they are w.r.t. restoring system state and even if do restore system state, i may have same problem with GPS. So whats the good way to control GPS functionality, change settings etc.
2) Is there any way to leave LCD on while you are on the phone, backlight can be turned off. Currently its a pain to bring up LCD when you are on the phone, you have to use some hardware button to turn it on, not really ideal. I dont want to turn off power save completely for obvious reasons. When i was using MS Live Search and using GPS, it kept the display on all the time even though i was on battery which I think was a bright idea.
3) I use Slide2Unlock and with 8525 i could use the hardware navigation button (the rocker switch) to unlock the phone but with Tilt it doesnt work, any way to get that working (I should probably post this question in S2U thread).
IMO # 2,3 at least should be registry-tweakable, just need to know which one. GPS question might be hard to crack but I hope some of the experts here would be able to provide an answer.
Thanks in advance, there is a great site!!!

I will answer #1 - Map4PDA will kill your GPS. I posted about this last week with no replies. Unfortunately, my only option was to hard reset my Tilt. I searched til my fingers were down to the bone and found nothing that revive my GPS. I could see that it was turning on, but it wouldn't turn off again after using Google Maps (or any other program, for that matter).
In the end, hard reset was my only solution. Too bad, cuz it's a sweet program that will let you use Google, Yahoo or MSN maps, plus I like the neat speedo.
.:Christian:.
Too bad I didnt come accross your post before I installed that stupid app, darn! Thanks for the insight but that means there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
Hi guys,
I have a problem with my o2 xda stellar where I can be typing a message on the hardware keyboard but even though I'm hitting all of the keys correctly its still missing the odd letter - it seems as if its simply not picking it up. I've disabled the word suggestion feature and this has helped a little but the problem still remains. Its driving me bonkers!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Yes, it's one of the things that made me regret buying this f****** phone in the first place.
Read this, might help you to a certain extent.

As soon as I installed the HTC keypad + keyboard cab it started happening so I removed it.

I've never installed that although it does look like and interesting concept.
I found disabling word suggest worked to improve the recognition rate. Still have to be careful with the first word I type, but otherwise it is ok. Might give it a try with autocorrect off (but I like it auto-adding the ' in nt).
The same thing happened on my Hermes and my Wizard (both of which I turned suggest off on), so I wasn't surprised that the Kaiser did it (although it was almost tolerable with autocorrect on, which the Wizard really really wasn't).
I've tried the suggestions in this thread and the other linked thread but with no success. My hermes used to do this, but when I upgraded to the WM6 beta it seemed to fix the problem on that device. I've not tried the 6.1 roms - can anyone comment on whether the problem is still evident on those? (I'm guessing it will be).

I think its still there, the problem that I was having was if I were to type "this is a test" I exprienced delays with my spacebar...it would spell out
"thisi sa t est". and it would do it EVERY single time. I later found out that it was directly tied into HTC Keyboard and Keypad b/c once I removed this, it wouldnt do it anymore. (Looks like TouchPal for me). However, on Dutty's Beta 1 I didn't experience this problem, but other WM6.1 roms I did. Of course with Dutty's I had to jump through hoops to get the keyboard and Touch Keypad to work cooperatively and maybe this "fixed" it...who knows. BTW I have the Tilt version of the Kaiser.
I just recently installed the newest version of slide2unlock and it worked fine. However, recently there's been problems with the old unlock dialogue appearing before slide2unlock, and I haven't changed anything in my configuration.
I should probably also mention that I'm using itjes newest 'Touched by Vista' Touch-IT - however, I do not believe it's related to this as I seem to recall experiencing it before.
But if anyone knows of a solution, please post it here.
Well, poke me with pointy objects and call me girly names.
S2U2 is appearently quite newer. I couldn't really understand why S2U had stopped developement either. Well, I'll test this out before anything else.
Hm - turns out that Batterystatus has a 'devicelock on wakeup' which did it, that I accidently turned on. Bah.
well, good job in figuring it out!
Now we all know!
Hi guys,
I'm quite newbie... I've just moved from SPV c600 to DIAMOND. I've one problem that really makes me mad. At first I must tell that I've tried everything hard reset , than checking if any apps is causing that one by one-with no result. Occasionally I just can't pick up/refuse a calls with HW buttons. I use S2U2(installed yesterday), but this problem I had even before i installed that app. Does anybody of you experienced such an issue? Anybody knows the answer how to fix it? Thanks in advance
Same thing happens to me! It is like HW buttons work whenever they want but not all the time. If you install AEButton Plus you can remap HW buttons, but again the same thing will happen. The changes will work sometimes but not always.
I have a similar problem. Can you answer with soft buttons? Hoping some solution ideas will appear here or in that thread.
Same issue here.
I have added my experience to the above listed thread, and also opened a thread at Howard Forums.

This has become extremely frustrating.
Sprint has not been very receptive to this either.
what works for me is to lock & unlock the screen.
unless it case is related to another problem which i have experience before as well. But this has gone away since i loaded a different rom from the original htc.
*edit
this should fix it

I hate to make this post, but was a solution ever found for the unexplained volume drop to zero issue? I have followed the threads regarding this problem, searched, wiki'd and just about everything else but still no luck finding a resolution.
Regardless of ROM or regedit it appears this problem just doesn't die. Absent a cure for the problem, it's going back to 6.0 over the weekend.
Thanks for any insight.
Well, I guess this means there is no solution.
Well, I'm new to Kaiser and it's problems, but this one is quite annoying. This is what I came to after many days of messing with it...
I'm using shifu rom, it works great. SPB shell is also installed on my Kaiser and S2U also, but the problem with sudden ring volume drop remained. It disappeared when I turned off ID call through the S2U, and now using just windows regular. S2U slider remained, just ID call function in it disabled. Now I'm trying to reproduce the bug, but fortunately no luck in that. So if you use it, just go to S2U2 settings/general/ID off. Worked for me, but I'll keep you posted if something goes wrong.
Cheers!
