IPAQ 600 series: Annoying problem where screen turns brightest on recording sound

---

It's really annoying when you're in someplace and just after you press the record button and suddenly the screen turns full blast bright! People around starts to turn their heads in your direction... Does your ipaq 612/614 pda's spits unwanted light rays in your face as well?

Do you know how to disable this, perhaps a registry tweak we can do?

Thank you so much

i believe my backlight fix (reg fix) will fix that, check the post in the backlight controller thread

thanx keyx,

you never fail to be helpful

Hi keyx,

I think you should try pressing the record button using the memo program.

I'm sure it still turns bright even after you follow the instructions here:

Which line specifically prevents the screen to bright?

TIA

i think the note app is designed to force backlight on while recording (like gps app that keep backlight on)...you may want to look for other app that does not do that or try disable backlight globally...

if you use my rom you can use the voice commander button on the side of the unit to turn screen off, it should keep the app going

I've tried other recording programs, also still forces the backlight to turn on to high gear.

I'm currently using backlight controller to turn it off while recording, but sometimes you just need to leave the screen on.

There is a Hardware bug in the iPaq 600 phones.

This bug causes "static" to be heard in all recordings if the screen goes dim.

HP was aware of it and so sent out a "fix" except they did not fix anything all they did was force full screen brighness for the duration of the recording so that you never encounter the bug.

If you disable the screen brightness via a reg key chances are you will here the static in your recordings.

Btw i have not tested keyx's reg fix

thanks branded,

I'd rather have it bright than clicking noise
