Solution
Well... that's not a problem but it has been done as a default setting of wm2k3se to save ur battery power. however u can anytime go to Start-->Settings-->System-->Backlight. Then click on the brightness tab & set it to maximum. u'll have ur old brightness back...
Re: Reduced display of Imate pocket pc after upgrade to wm20
Yeah thats true and I am aware of that.but even if i set the brightness to maximum it doesnt get that bright as it was before upgrade.i reverted it back and got the screen brightness back.is there a registry change it required.
did anyone have the same problem please confirm
Thanks

Guys :!: The WM2K3 SE has nothing to do with the hardware within iMate. It is surely the dll file (ace_ddi.dll) that controls the backlight and its settings.
So if anyone can re-script the file, maybe then the problem can be solved :idea:

Hello,
Does anyone know whether the setting for the backlight is hardware or software. I really would like to conserve power by setting the backlight to a lower level and off is not an option.
Currently there are only two settings as you know and the ipaq has many settings.
Anyone know?
Anyone.. Anyone...Anyone
Tap SETTING/SYSTEM/BACKLIGHT the select On/Off menu.
thats not what he meant Chasl.
Bedammit, its hardware. I tried changing the value in a registry key, and it only accepts a value of 0 (off) or 255 (on). I wanted to reduce the brightness as well, but its not possible. you may think abt tinting the screen though!
hmm
Thanks...
I was hoping to save power.
Ho hum
I hope the XDA II has it...
Then again..
I may not get an XDA II
Hi,
I got an O2 Comet (Atom Live). Also got a protective film on the touch screen.
Now the pressure needed to use the touch screen is quite high in my opinion.
Is it possible to tweak/change the threshold value for the touch screen via registry tweaks etc. ? Or is the touch screen sensitivity for the Atom Life not changeable?
I got Medkid's Atom Life WM6.1 ROM installed btw.
Thx for any help,
boba
Have you tried this??
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\Touch
or find 'Threshold'
Change the value of Pressure Threshold.(INCREASE value ONLY!!!)
Example, just set the value at 11880.
That doesn't exist in the registry
Any other suggestions?
Try and see if its in there,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
What registry editor are you using?
Search your registry for DWORD, "PressureThreshold".
Nope its not there I'm using resco registry editor
Ok download the registry editor below and install it. (phone or storage card it doesn't matter)
Run the app and it should start something like this...
SCREENSHOT_1
Make sure you highlight HKEY_Local_Machine like in the photo otherwise it won't search correctly
SCREENSHOT_2
Now click on "FIND"
SCREENSHOT_3
Copy what you see in the photo onto your phone and click "FIND NEXT"
SCREENSHOT_4
And it should come up with something, if not I don't know what to tell you the instructions I have given are as handicapped as possible.
SCREENSHOT_5
Hi, thanks for the help. It couldn't find the key either. I don't think atom life phones have this key. Are you using an atom life under WM6 too?
no, but there are plenty of posts where people have done it.
That posts I have read reference different registry locations, so I assume that the pressure configuration is set by each manufacturer.
Hello,, how can i fix my htc with a dark screen?? i have tried too flash it. but that dosent work! what can help mee??
It works but it is almost impossible to see the screen??
If u flashed a new rom and the problem persists, it's probably some hardware issue and it needs repair, but, if u haven't done yet, try going to power management and set the backlight brightness adjustment to a fixed value instead of auto.

Even I am facing the same issue. Did anybody get a fix to this solution.
After hard resetting the device, the screen has gone dark. I can see the phone working and also the menus, but since there is no backlight, its barely visible even inside the house. tried setting the backlight from Power adjustment menu, still no use.
Any help on this would be great.
Thanks
I had the same problem.I was taking a great care of my rose,I was overprotected with it,it was in perfect condition untill one day I wanted to sell it here and the next days the screen became dark for no reason.It really dissapointed me.I tried many things but nothing helped...it was 99% a hardware problem..I don't know what is wrong with these phones...anyway in the end I sold it on eBay..my suggestion is to try and replace the screen or just sell it...

please help n sorry if this questions been asked and answered before. this forum is getting too big and broad sometimes to find anything
thx in advance
Have you tried Sparepart? (That's the name)
Strange, i can't seem to turn on my autobrightness. It used to work perfectly in android 1.6. And i haven't noticed it untill recently. When auto brightness is checked, it just stays the same, even when i hold it directly under a lamp. Maby there is a bug in the software that prevents switching it on or off?
I'd also like an answer to this problem, because with auto brightness on the telephone is a battery eater.. you have to keep it to the minimum level to disable it, but when you are under a strong light, like outdoor with a sunny weather, it's difficult to see your screen's details. as you select a brightness level different from zero, the autobrightness turns on and eats the battery.
I hope I'm missing the solution to this, and somebody will help, because all the applications i've tried (spareparts included) didn't worked.
I'm quite confuse now.....
What actually do we need......
Turn it on...
or
Turn it off...
LOL
heh, so some people want a way to turn it off and others, like me, want to find a way to turn it on?
what a crazy phone..
I'm sure there used to be a tick box in the display settings to turn on/off the auto brightness. Anyway, i've tried various applications myself to get it on but nothing does it. I think the best solution is for us all to swap phones .
Spare Parts doesn't work for me, i tried enabling it, restarting the phone and jumping under my duvet.. but it didn't change
Did you update to 2.1? It was disabled in 2.1 as far as I know.
So the easiest solution, upgrade to 2.1! Else, I don't remember the menu but it's somewhere in the settings under 1.6.
I think we've all updated to 2.1 here =)
and yes, in 1.6 there was a box to tick to unable/disable autobrightness.
But, in 2.1, this feature has disappeared, leaving a seekbar and a damned widget which doesn't allow you to set or no autobrightness.
Hi,
The autobrightness is still there. It can be turned on/of from a stock SE connection widget. The different state for brightness is "minimum" -> "auto" -> "maximum"

Thats pretty much, exactly, what dpk0875 said, if i'm not mistaken.
As soon as i turn it off and put the phone under different light setting i can see that the auto brightness is still on

I can get, either 0%, or 100% brightness, with the ambient sensor disabled. Anything in-between, fades constantly.
No fix for this, i presume?
Reading websites while the screen fades in/out every couple of seconds drives me mad.
Ive never had any problem with it as long as you dont lean in front of it all the time lol.

Hi,
Since a couple of days I've noticed that my screen flickers sometimes.
Mostly when I'm moving my hand while holding the phone...
Is it possible that the light sensor auto adjusts my screen brightness ?
If so, how can I turn it off ?
Thanks in advance,
Niels
If you have rooted the phone, you can install Disable Auto Brightness for Xperia phones. or you can disable it manually editing the file /ect/hw_config.sh.
Search the forum for the tutorial
Thanks for your answer !
So unless you start rooting or changing files there's no way to stop the flickering ?
Unfortunately, no. By the way, this problem usually affects st15 models... as far as i know, you've been unlucky
Okay, I'm sure now that it's really because of the lightsensor and not just a problem with my screen.
I was standing near a window and when I put my finger on the lightsensor a few times the brightness was clearly automaticly adjusted...
I'll look for the tutorial, thanks for the info !
Other solutions, if any, are still welcome though

Hey, my ST15i does also automatically adjust the brightness....it's not a problem mate When i am outdoors the screen get brighter but when i am indoors my screen automatically gets darken
Yes I now, but I find it annoying, it gets flickery sometimes..
I want the screen to stay on the brightness I've set.
today I was wondering why this phone doesnt have auto brightness adjustment feature, because I have to manually turn brightness to zero when using phone while on bed at night. I looked into settings and no such feature found, I wonder the light sensor actually works
Yes it does, I've tested it.
Try standing near a window or holding it near a lamp and put your finger on the sensor... (The screenbrightness may not be set to 0 if you try this..)
I too find it strange that there's no possibility to set the auto adjust on/off..
Niels
I don't think there is any auto-brightness option in LWW as I've not found any. if there were any then they would have provided an check box option turn it on/off. but the brightness ups and downs happens to me to specially when i've put the brightneww to lowest level at night. could not explain myself.
yup it works (just checked thru window operation )

The fact that you can't turn it on/off doesn't mean it doesn't work. Actually, the auto-brightness is always on. You can disable it manually editing /etc/hw_config.sh or using the app Disable Auto Brightness Xperia. You need root anyway.
