Backlight bug

Hi all,
i have the Kaiser for a week, and was thinking the batterry autonomy isn't especially amazing..
Then doing some research, i've found out that that despite the backlight setting set to be turned off after 30 sec, it was NOT turned off.
Switching setting to 1 min doesn't help either.
Setting it to 10 sec DOES work, the backlight turns off after 10 secs, BUT turns back ON after various seconds (sometimes +/- 11 secs, sometimes after 21 seconds...), then 10 secs later again off, etc etc... (cycle forever).
I did removed from the today screen both SPB Mobile shell and HTC Home (today screen = blank). But the problem is still there...
so the questions :
1) Does anybody experience that (it took me a full week of use to note this... can you try it on your Kaiser ?)
2) Any idea/solution to fix this ?
Best Regards,
Mike.

Just letting you know, that mine works as it should.

I dont have that bug .... but another bug:
After soft-reset, the battery backlight will be set to 10 seconds.
No clue yet why that happen.

When having issues like that try a hard reset and do not use a back up just set everything back up by hand. I found that most apps still are not ready for WM6 just yet since it really is a new OS even though we have had it for what seems like a very long time now.

When you set the back light to turn off, it doesn't actually turn off, instead it drops to minimum brightness. If you are in darkish room and so have the backlight set to minimum anyway, it looks like it isn't going off.
This is by design for Windows Mobile 6 devices, the Toshiba G900 was exactly the same. I can only guess it is because the screens are not trans-reflective, so they dim to the lowest level so you can still make out what is on the display and can tell it is still on, rather than in standby. This makes the behaviour seem similar to those moving from trans-reflective displays as while the backlight could go out completely, you could still make out what was on the display.

Tilt no longer wakes up for alarms

WTF did I do?
I've had this thing for 7 months without this type of problem. I had to hard reset a few weeks ago because the thing was getting too buggy with all the software I had added and removed.
I use SPB Time mostly for alarms. It had been working flawlessly. Now when I put the Tilt into standby mode, it seems to go into some sort of deep sleep in which the clock stops moving until I press the power button again. When I do that, the clock briefly flashes the previous time before updating to the current time but it misses the alarm that I had set.
I've looked at Kaiser Tweak but that doesn't seem to fix this issue.

In Kaiser Tweak, did you adjust the 2 options under "Notifications" to both be 60 seconds? The default is 1 second and that makes it malfunction just as you've described, 60 seconds fixes it. They aren't intuitively named, that's why I ask the seemingly inane question.

Any way to change display timeout for lock screen specifically?

So i just noticed this for some reason but I have my display timeout set for 2 minutes which is fine
but when i get a text message or a missed call and it leaves the screen on for 2 minutes as well. i figure this could be a battery drainer over time especially if im not at my phone to lock the screen back
is there a way to set the lockscreen display time independent from the system display timeout? has this always been the case? For some reason i always remembered the lockscreen turning off relatively shortly after a notification. maybe im just going crazy:silly:

bump...is this kinda common sense that the lockscreen display stays on for however long the system default for display timeout says to?
i could have sworn the lockscreen didnt stay on for a minute before it turned off even though my display was set to "sleep" after a minute

Auto Disable LockScreen with trusted Wifi

Can somebody please inform me how to use Tasker on my Galaxy S8 so the pincode lockscreen will be automatic disabled when I'm connected to a trusted wifi and will be abled when I'm not connected to this trusted wifi.

you could check AutoTools
http://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php...-enable-your-lock-screen-at-will-no-root.237/

Thanks, but in your example Lockscreen disabled is set in time (7200 sec). I want Lockscreen disabled as long as I am connected with a "trusted wifi", this can be 10 sec, 2 hours or even 3 days.

Lockscreen is a challenge on the newer Android releases. I handle it the same way that Auto tools does by changing the lock screen timeout to a ridiculous value (10 days). Then on the exit task, I return the value to a more sane number. The worst case is one every 10 days I have to enter my screen lock code. Though I have to do that every day anyway since I reboot my phone over night. I describe my approach in this post.

How does the screen dimming/time out actually work?

This has always been confusing and I am looking for clarification on the Lock Screen/ Screen dimming, etc.
So I went into the display settings and set it not to turn off for 1 minute. Then I checked the power saving settings just to be sure the screen would not go dim or lock after 5 seconds. That did not work. Then I checked the security settings to see if something was over ridding every other time out setting and I am lost. Either these settings have never really worked since the original note and android/ google is lazy or I am not doing something right.
Dose anyone have a step by step walk through of all the settings that would affect when the screen dimms and when it locks? (Sometimes I am running music through blue tooth and I don't want to the screen to dim for specific applications also. There has to be a setting somewhere because Google Maps does not allow the screen to dim or lock when in nav mode.

I really wish someone would have answered your question. Mainly since I have the same freaking problem.
When the phone app is running, I am constantly getting dimmed, seconds only to do something.
Tonight I was using an app that monitors BBQ temperatures. Always dims to fast. Set the screen timeout for 10 minutes. Still dimmed after 30 seconds or so.
How does this work? I'm not sure the screen timeout setting does anything.

The screen diming feature is part of the auto brightness function and works by using the ambiant light sensor to adjust the brightness of the display. According to the amount of light detected in front of the display.
Screen locking happens when you haven't used your device for a specific amount of time.

It dims before it locks. That's what I was referring to. I think the OP was as well.
I set the display for 10 minute timeout. It dims and locks the screen in less than a minute. I can't figure out how to stop it.
Is that a clearer question?

Well my screen dims for some seconds before going out, but, always as per the time I set , for instance, if I set to go out after 5 mins of inactivity, it dims after 4 mins 55 seconds, then goes out, I dont use autobrightness, and I use entertainment mode

It was secure lock time setting.
It was disregarding the screen timeout.
