I'm using iGuidance 4; works great but the screen dims after 30sec or so.
when I'm driving and it's bright it makes it difficult to see the map.
Any settings to keep the screen bright.
On my N95, while navigating the screen remained on.
Thanks
On the 8125, my solution for this was to plug it in. The brightness and auto off can be set seperately for when it is plugged in. Not a great answer though. My old iPaq (and that's way before the iPhone), they had a nice profile feature where could could set up home/car/work profiles and do things like set wireless connections, volume/vibrate, screen brightness, etc. So then you had a quick way to make multiple adjustments. This would still be a very usefull app if any of the developer here would like to take a crack at it.
In theory, it seems like it would be a pretty easy thing to do and could be assgned as one of the new home screen icons so it would be very handy to get to.
This is a failing of iGuidance because TomTom keeps the backlight on and stops the unit from going to sleep as well.
I made a very compact vent clip holder for my Kaiser, use a BT headset (and often use "BTAudio.exe" to direct all sounds to headset while navigating), and use a charge cord while navigating in the car. I use a prog from my HP, "Today Panel Pro" to have a up front key to tap to get to disp settings. I set the display to stay on with external power when driving during the day. At night I don't set it to stay on because the Kaiser's display just dims after the timeout, it doesn't turn off. I actually like this at night.
In any case, iGuidance won't let the Kaiser turn off while navigating, it just doesn't control the brightness which I'm OK with.
So where can I find "BTAudio.exe" and does it direct all sounds thru bluetooth?
Cheers.

Here's the files, I use BTaudio toggle, mapped to a key. Yes, when toggled all sounds come thru bluetooth. If a call should come in while mapping, you can answer, when done the map resumes. It works well!
Hi all...
Just got my Tilt a few weeks ago and thus far have been enjoying every moment. I have run into an issue that is a bit irritating, wondering if anyone has any ideas.
Streaming audio over the phone works great, but I can't figure out how to keep the music playing when the phone goes into sleep mode.
I get connected, it plays for a couple of minutes then the sound turns off along with the screen. I hit the power button to wake the phone up, the screen turns on and the music comes back. It appears that the phone is staying connected to the website, it is just the sound that goes away.
Ideally I would like to have the screen off to conserve battery power, while listening to the radio. I am having this issue when using the built in speaker and while using headphones connected through the USB port.
Any help or suggestions would be appriciated.
Yeah, I just tried it with mine and I get the same results - turning it to standby causes the music to stop but the stream seems to stay active. So, I would suggest getting a hold of a program called AE Button Plus, which allows you to remap all of the buttons on the front of the device. There are options in there to disable the standby mode when a button is pressed, and then you can turn off the screen but keep the device running with a different button press. Check it out and you'll understand what I mean, and I think that would be your best bet.

use wktask to minimize streaming apps for audio to stay on.
Speaking of AE Button Plus, also make sure you read my related Button Enhancer Bible for more tips & tricks.
In my experience, the music will still play through Bluetooth A2DP headphones when the phone goes to sleep.
Edit: Ignore this post
Solution: Read it to me app was set to auto-on on bluetooth.
Problem has been fixed.
Solution left for reference.
Enjoy your laughs
Hello, all
I have an odd question
I have noticed that when I turn my bluetooth keyboard or mouse on (Logitech android keyboard, and android keyboard mouse) on my GTN7000 running stock ICS, the phone begins reading my texts aloud to me, even on silent.
But when I turn these devices off (BOTH of them, either being on will still trigger the problem), the problem goes away
This is a huge problem since this makes the phone worthless unless on airplane mode (which isn't bad but means I can't look things up on the web etc) while taking class notes, which is why I bought the keyboard in the first place.
This has been driving me nuts for the past four hours
This occurs even if I have disabled notifications in the status bar.
I have disabled text to speech
I have disabled call notifications
I have cleared all defaults for voice search
I have tried turning down all volumes.
I HAVE noticed that when I set the voice engine to something else (eg google voice engine to samsung vlingo) the voice engine changes.
I have also noticed when using driving mode on, I get two voices announcing the same thing at the same time.
please help!

Has anyone got any experience with automating sound settings with Tasker on the Huawei P10?
I have a task that should turn off the WiFi & turn up the BT volume when connected to my car's WiFi. My WiFi gets turned off as expected when I connect, but the volume stays at 0.
This task worked flawlessly with my Sony Xperia I upgraded from.
I have experience with tasker service getting killed every few days on my p10. I have no idea why.

Some actually! I've used Tasker for several years on the P10, P9, HTC M9, M8 M7 etc etc and have similar profiles running to turn off WiFi, read out SMS's etc when I connect to my car.
Firstly is Phone Audio & Media Audio both turned on in the settings of the paired device (car) in Bluetooth settings?
What volume are you trying to change, phone call, media or both? (In Tasker... BT Voice Volume or Media Volume?)
I've just tested my P10 in Tasker, while connected to my car, and both BT Voice and Media change volume up and down with no issues.

On the Phone: Settings, Apps, Settings, Special Access, Ignore Optimisations, All Apps at top, Allow Tasker
In Tasker: Preferences, Monitor tab, Run in Foreground (Probably ticked already)

OK, how about this bit then (shouldn't make any difference if you've allowed Tasker to ignore optimisations, but you never know!)...
Settings, Apps, Tasker, Battery, Power Intensive prompt & Close after screen locked both off
While I've not specifically noticed Tasker being killed, I've noticed the P10 (& my P9 before it) would sometimes randomly close things anyway, nevermind what ignore options were ticked! But they did usually restart of their own accord soon after. May just be a "glitch" with EMUI/Huawei phones!

Yep, both are already off. And it's the same for dropbox. Photos just won't upload anymore after few days.
Looks like huawei really is overly enthusiastic in closing background apps

My task is set to turn the media volume to max (15) then adjust the BT volume to max (again, 15) before turning the phones WiFi off. I've also tried to use the app Volume Profile, which has a Tasker plugin. I don't know if I need to set a delay? My old phone worked without one, but I remember I had timing issues in the past with other phones.

I had similar problems, they seemed to go away over time. I remember reading in reviews that Huawei uses machine learning to optimise app response and battery, so I don't know if that's influenced things improving over time. I remember my phone mysteriously revoking notification access I granted apps.

Don't think you need a delay, mine certainly doesn't, just done a test again changing both at the same time without a delay...no problems
This is the task I just tested....
Tester (50)
A1: BT Voice Volume [ Level:8 Display: On Sound: Off ]
A2: Media Volume [ Level:8 Display: On Sound: Off ]
Try it on yours. The "Display" bit just shows it's worked. You don't actually need it, but it's a good "bug check" as would be the Sound option, to make sure the task is actually working. The 50 is just the number of my task.

Yes you may be right, certainly Huawei does seem to mess about with permissions etc that other android phones don't!
Hey guys since I've owned this phone I've had constant problems with the phone automatically adjusting the volume usually way down. When not on Bluetooth it's less pronounced but still occurs, I'll turn on a podcast and the volume will drop on the phone to like 20%.
On Bluetooth, the problem becomes an absolute nightmare. Every time I switch apps, or even open new browser tabs the volume settings appear on screen and randomly jump either up or down. If I'm moving quickly between apps or browsers, this can occur multiple times (up or down) within a 5 second window. Pretty much anytime I turn on audio I have to turn the volume all the way back up.
I've disabled Bluetooth absolute volume in dev settings but don't see any other fix for this.
Also, the problem is independent of player. Spotify does it, stitcher does it, VLC does it, and pi music does it. And even when I'm connected to Bluetooth and doing nothing audio related but just switching between apps and browser it will be jumping the volume levels around and popping up the audio slider on the right side of the screen.
What Bluetooth device are you using? Perhaps it uses touch controls and they're acting up
