Backlight settings autochange when phone power off

[AlainL]

Hi,

I hope to get some help, as this problem start to make me crazy !

I go to Settings - System - Backlight - Battery Power, Check checkbox and set timeout to 30 sec.
All is OK.
I press "Power" button (or wait till ppc auto switch off), then, when I switch PPC back on ....
Bam! : time out is back to 10 sec

I tried to change settings for "external power", but problem does not happen.

It must be linked to an application, cause I made a backup and hard reset, problem was gone. After restore, problem was back.
As I have a lot of apps installed and configured, it's a pain to restart.
I tried to remove all links from "\windows\Startup" and all today plugin, but no change.
I checked notifications with FDC task manager 2.7, but the only event that could be related (NOTIFICATION_EVENT_WACKUP) is linked to prog "\\.\Notifications\NamedEvent\TimeWizardWakeup"

Is there anyway to know what is launched at wakeup (registry ?).

I've Schaps 3.57a installed

Thanks a lot for any help

Hi.

As you say you can view the lauched apps after wakeup in notifications queue.
Anyway, seems the issue is related to some app you install before the OS, so you can do some research installing step by step every app and doing deep test on every install.

I have Schaps 3.54b ESN and don't have any issue with power or black light.

Regards.

I had this problem months ago when using the original stock WM5 ROM that came with my device. There is some evidence that it is caused by PhoneAlarm.

There are fixes for it by making reg changes. I fixed my problem by deleting this entire key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ControlPanel\BackLight \LockLevel\LockLevel

But you might be able to fix it by setting the value to 0.

You can find historical info by searching the Hermes forums and child forums for 'LockLevel'.

FWIW, I had no problems with phoneAlarm after making the change, so if you are using it, you CAN continue to do so after deleting that key.

Hope this helps...good luck.

Thanks a lot, you are my saver :)

Setting this value to 0 solved my problem

In my case, I never installed phonealarm, but I suspect rather PocketZenPhone.
I tried different version, but I always had problem with it on my TyTN (but all was OK on my magician, I even registred it).

xda-dev is really a great place :)
