Programmatically disable backlight

[sniggle]

I searched around a bit for this information but all I found was the section of the registry where you can control the backlight brightness. I also tried MBVklight but that doens't seem to do the trick either.

I'm trying to turn off/on the backlight using .NET. I would imagine it requires a P/Invoke so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. I want to do this because hitting the power button disables wifi, so I want wifi to stay on but have the screen off.

Thanks in advance!

Using advanced config 3.3 you can set the wifi to stay on after hitting the power button, which is effectively what you want to do yh? It will cane your battery tho, but its useful for donloading on device:D

Hmm yeah that would do the trick. Thanks!

I have an old Titan that I'm no longer using so I'm turning it into a bedside alert system in case my regular phone isn't on ring and someone needs to wake me up (I'm in charge of all the servers where I work). It needs to maintain a wifi connection so it can receive the signal but it's constantly plugged in so power isn't a problem.

sorted, no problems and good idea:D

I installed Advanced Config 3.3 and went into Menu -> More settings -> Connections and checked "Enable Wi-Fi on standby mode" and did a soft reset but it doesn't seem to be working. If I hit the power button on the phone to enter standby the wifi light stops blinking and it stops receiving connections. Is there another setting I'm missing?

Any luck? It's not really a big deal since I modified my application to be full screen with a black background so it would be doing minimal burn in, but I'd still prefer if it was fully off.
