Display doesn't dim {SOLVED}

---

Something went wrong with my Vox. It doesn't longer completely dim the display after a given timeout. What could be the problem?

Search this forum maybe?

Thanks for the hint but I couldn't figure out which keys to edit or create. Could you please show me an overview of your keys in "HKEY_Current_User > ControlPanel > Power"?

Thank you in advance.

I found the full version of the tutorial and it worked: http://titourhea.free.fr/site/faq.php?lng=fr&pg=312

Thanks to all :)

What do they mean with:
"HKEY_Current_User, ControlPanel, Power, faire : Values, Display (cliquer dessus), Value Data par défaut = 60"

Do they mean setting value "Default" in HKCU/ControlPanel/Power ?
(in my case it is unset)

Or do they mean setting value "Display" in HKCU/ControlPanel/Power ?
(in my case "Display" does not exist)

Depending on which registry editor you use, it'll have different means of editing the values for that key's default value.

So if it were arranged as a tree, it would look like this:

HKCU
\\
  ControlPanel
   \\
     Power  <== *** under here, you'd edit its (Default) (or hit Values softkey in PHM) ***
      \\
        LockLevel  <== this is a sub-key of the Power key, which has it's own values
      \\
        Display <== if this existed, it would be here, as another sub-key of Power

I have still not under stood. I am using resco registry editor but : what to change in what I have somethin " Locklevel" under Power.. nothin else. what to change in this. I am using HTC VOX

I do not understand either:

so you do have to create a value under "Power" that is called "Display" (if - as with my Vox - it is not there) and under that you can enter 60,30 or whatever?

TIA

Here's how I did it using Resco's Registry Editor.

Navigate to HKCU>ControlPanel>Power

There you will find:

..
LockLevel
(Default)
Display

Click on "Display". Now you will see "DWORD Data". Enter "30" there (stands for seconds).

PS. You DO NOT need to create any new keys, string values or whatever.

In my case after some readings from various forums i've found out my problem was caused by installing the tcpmp player. It created the "display" value in the first place. So the best way is to simply delete the "display" value.

After that on the tcpmp player options > settings > advanced - select the options for " no backlight keepalive for video" and home screen timeout for music".

This solution has worked for me. I just have to manually change the display timeout settings to "never" before playing anything on the player.
